BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2013 The warden of the North Dakota State Penitentiary is quitting after managing the Bismarck prison for nearly four years.<\/p>\n

Robyn Schmalenberger\u2019s last day on the job is Thursday. She submitted her resignation last Friday.<\/p>\n

Schmalenberger has worked in corrections for more than 20 years. She began as a probation officer and was involved in the organization of Fargo Drug Court in 2002 and the development of re-entry programs in Bismarck and Fargo in 2003.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota leads the nation for well-being and South Dakota is second.<\/p>\n

That’s according to a survey of 178,000 Americans nationwide that takes a look at the physical and emotional health of the nation.<\/p>\n

North Dakota tops the 2013 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index with an overall score of 70.4 out of a possible 100. South Dakota scored an even 70.<\/p>\n

Hawaii had held the top spot the four previous years.<\/p>\n

North Dakota had been among the top 10 well-being states from 2009 to 2011 but slipped off the list in 2012. South Dakota was among the top 10 in well-being for the first time since 2010.<\/p>\n

West Virginia and Kentucky had the two lowest well-being scores in 2013, for the fifth year in a row.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) \u2013 The men\u2019s hockey showdown between Canada and the United States didn\u2019t pack the punch that most were hoping for when the game began.<\/p>\n

Many viewed these two teams as the best in the tournament and fully expected a wild, heart-pounder similar to the gold medal game between the USA and Canada women the previous night.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Canadians, the defending Olympic champions dominated from start to finish with a cold, ruthless performance to win 1-0 and advance to the gold medal game.<\/p>\n

Canada put the Americans in a vise and wouldn\u2019t let them breathe, limiting their scoring chances and suffocating their offensive attack. Canada goalie Carey Price got the shutout, but he was rarely challenged. Jamie Benn got the only goal for Canada in a game that lacked many scoring chances for either side.<\/p>\n

Jamie Benn scored in the second period, Carey Price made 31 saves, and Canada beat the United States 1-0 Friday night in the semifinals of the Olympic men\u2019s hockey tournament.<\/p>\n

The Canadians will play Sweden in the gold medal game Sunday,\u00a0\u00a0which beat Finland 2-1 in the earlier semifinal at Bolshoy Ice Dome.<\/p>\n

After its first loss in Sochi, the U.S. will face Finland for bronze on Saturday.
\nThe Canadians are on the brink of their third gold medal in four Olympics, and they\u2019re guaranteed their first medals outside North America in 20 years.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian lawmakers are asserting their newfound authority, hours after opposition leaders signed a deal with the embattled president. The parliament has voted to restore the 2004 constitution that limits presidential authority. It also fired the interior minister blamed for ordering a crackdown on protesters that left more than 100 dead in the capital this week. And lawmakers voted to free a former prime minister who has spent more than two years in jail for what supporters say are politically tainted charges.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is praising an agreement between Ukraine’s president and the opposition to end violence. Press secretary Jay Carney says the deal is consistent with what Washington was advocating, and it should be implemented immediately. Carney also says the U.S. commends the opposition leaders and remains ready to impose new sanctions if necessary.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has met with the Dalai Lama, despite warnings from China that doing so would “inflict grave damage” on U.S.-China relations. China views the Tibetan spiritual leader as a separatist. The private meeting was held in the White House Map Room instead of the Oval Office, where visiting leaders are usually greeted in front of photographers. The Dalai Lama left the White House without speaking to reporters.<\/p>\n

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) – An American has made Alpine skiing history as the youngest winner of an Olympic slalom gold medal. Eighteen-year-old Mikaela (mih-KAY’-luh) Shiffrin finished in a two-leg combined time of 1 minute, 44.54 seconds — about half a second faster than one of her childhood favorites, Marlies Schild (mahr-LEES’ shild) of Austria. Another Austrian took bronze. Schriffin has now completed a full set of slalom honors: Olympic and world championship gold medals and a season-long World Cup discipline title. She turns 19 next month.<\/p>\n

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) – Railroads that haul volatile shipments of crude oil have reached an agreement with U.S. transportation officials to adopt wide-ranging voluntary safety measures, after a string of explosive and deadly accidents. It calls for railroads to slow down oil trains through major cities, increase track inspections and bolster emergency response planning along the routes. A copy of the agreement between the U.S. Transportation Department and the railroads was obtained by The Associated Press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
