MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Thirteen men have been arrested on charges of soliciting sex in North Dakota as part of a 17-state sting operation that lasted more than two weeks.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nearly 600 men were arrested across the country in the operation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Minot Police Department was the only agency in North Dakota participating in the effort.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tom Dart is the sheriff of Cook County in Illinois. Dart launched the operation in 2011 and since then there have been more than 2,900 alleged sex solicitors who have been arrested.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During this latest operation another 23 suspects were arrested and charged with pimping, sex trafficking or promoting prostitution. Many suspects were arrested after answering online classified ads.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dart says part of the reason for the program is to highlight the role that websites play in prostitution.<\/p>\n

\u00a0LEITH, N.D. (AP) – Authorities in southwestern North Dakota are accusing the mayor of Leith of not reporting a fire last year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mayor Ryan Schock is facing a charge of failure to control or report a dangerous fire.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nA\u00a0 criminal complaint filed in Grant County states Schock started a fire in Leith in May and did not contact a fire department or other government agency to help with the “out-of-control” blaze. The complaint shows the fire was eventually controlled.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Court records don’t list an attorney for Schock. He is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 17.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Schock recently traveled to Utah to attend the screening during the Sundance Film Festival of the documentary “Welcome to Leith,” which chronicles the saga of the tiny town at odds with a white supremacist.<\/p>\n

\u00a0OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A monthly business survey suggests only modest economic growth is likely in nine Midwestern and Plains states this spring because the agriculture and energy sectors are slowing.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The report released Monday says the overall economic index for the region improved slightly to 54.8 in January from December’s 54.4.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, says growth for companies outside of energy and agriculture should offset the declines in those sectors.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The survey results from supply managers are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests economic growth, while a score below that suggests decline.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Lottery officials say a Powerball ticket worth $1 million has been sold in Williston.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the ticket purchased for Saturday’s draw matched all five white ball numbers. The winning numbers are 5, 11, 16, 26, and 50, and the Powerball is 34.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The winner has yet to come forward. The lucky ticket was sold at the Cenex convenience store on Washington Avenue.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the winner should sign the back of the ticket and contact the state’s lottery office.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Powerball is played in 44 states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The jackpot currently sits at $317 million for the next drawing on Wednesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The last million dollar North Dakota Powerball prize was won on September 2013 in West Fargo.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Education leaders are opposed to a bill that would require North Dakota to repeal Common Core education standards for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo Republican Rep. Jim Kasper is the prime sponsor of the measure.\u00a0 Kasper and other critics say the standards represent a federal takeover of education.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But educators told the House Education Committee on Monday that the standards were done with public input. And they say the standards are effective.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Common Core outlines what skills students should learn to be ready for college and careers upon graduation. Common Core replaces standards that varied state-to-state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota adopted the standards in 2011, and began to fully implement them during the current school year. Assessments based on the new standards will start for all students this spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oneok (ONE’-oak) Rockies Midstream LLC has submitted an application for the Demicks Lake Gas Processing Plant that would process 400 million cubic feet of natural gas daily.

NEW YORK (AP) – It was a great finish for football fans – OK, maybe not so much so for Seattle Seahawks fans. But the Super Bowl did provide a great finish for TV ratings. Nielsen says its overnight ratings indicate nearly half the homes in the nation’s biggest cities were tuned in to the game. Those are the highest overnight ratings for a Super Bowl. And it indicates the game will end up being the most-watched TV event in U.S. history when more detailed numbers are available.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Although President Barack Obama says his budget proposals are “practical, not partisan,” they set the stage for months of wrangling in Congress. Already, House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) is critical of the plan, saying it calls for “more spending, more taxes and more debt.” The proposals include $320 billion in increased taxes on the wealthy and corporations that would be used to pay for expanded middle class tax breaks.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Included in President Barack Obama’s budget proposal is $1 billion to help curb illegal immigration from Central America. The request says the money would help address the causes of that immigration. The money would boost economic and social development in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. It would also help those countries improve border security and their judicial systems.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BOSTON (AP) – A woman has been struck and killed by a snowplow south of Boston, as a new snowstorm moves through a region that is still digging out from last week’s blizzard. The same storm earlier dropped a foot and a-half of snow on Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, giving a three-day weekend to children at hundreds of schools. It was Detroit’s biggest snowfall in four decades.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DETROIT (AP) – The auto industry is dealing with another air bag problem. Jeep is recalling more than 228,000 SUVs to fix a software problem that can cause side air bags to inflate for no reason. The recall covers Jeep Cherokees from the 2014 and 2015 model years.
