\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Senate has confirmed Fargo optometrist Kevin Melicher as a member of the state Board of Higher Education.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Senate voted 27-18 to confirm Melicher on Thursday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A five-member Senate committee voted 3-2 earlier this month to deny Melicher a four-year term on the board. The full Senate confirmed him anyway.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Melicher has served on the board in a temporary status since June.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The board has eight voting members.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nicholas Hacker of Bismarck and Greg Stemen of Fort Ransom also have been nominated to serve on the board. Their Senate confirmation votes are pending.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Minnesota man has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for stabbing another man outside a downtown Fargo hotel last year.
\n\u00a0
\n20-old Samuel Ortley, Jr., of Mahnomen, Minnesota, had previously pleaded guilty to attempted murder.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police say Ortley, his father and several other men got into an argument that quickly turned into a drunken fight in November. One victim was stabbed several times and another man was hit over the head in the parking lot of the Scandia Inn.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A man who pleaded guilty to under-reporting income from his Bismarck restaurant has been ordered to pay nearly $1 million to the Internal Revenue Service.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Forty-two-year-old Youde Li pleaded guilty to four counts of tax evasion and was sentenced recently to time served, three years of supervised release and restitution.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says Li did not report $961,000 in income from his China Garden restaurant. He also did not report that income on his personal tax returns.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A former school paraprofessional in Fargo has been sentenced for showing a student nude pictures of herself on a cellphone.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirty-one-year-old Sara Wurgler pleaded guilty this week to a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the deprivation of a minor. She was sentenced to 30 days in jail and two years of probation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wurgler could have faced up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine under the charge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A new study shows that retail giant Wal-Mart gave $9.3 million to try to pass a North Dakota ballot measure last November that would have allowed the company to open pharmacies in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The figure is part of an analysis released Thursday by the nonpartisan Center for Public Integrity. It found that corporations and trade groups gave at least $217 million to sway the outcome of state ballot measure and referendum campaigns during the 2014 midterm elections.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota voters rejected the pharmacy ballot measure, which would have repealed a 1963 law banning chain retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target from operating pharmacies.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Voters sided with small, pharmacist-owned drug stores and their allies who raised a fraction of Wal-Mart’s total.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Bipartisan legislation that would require additional monitoring and safeguards for North Dakota pipelines that carry briny oilfield wastewater has been amended to allow regulators to make the decision on an individual basis.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No one spoke against the changes to the proposed legislation Thursday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The measure was filed in the wake of a recent 3-million gallon leak near Williston in western North Dakota. It’s been called the largest saltwater spill of North Dakota’s current oil boom
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Senate Republican Majority Leader Rich Wardner is the primary sponsor of the bill. It originally sought to require flow meters and leak-detection devices on pipelines that carry oilfield wastewater.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wardner’s amendment would allow the state Industrial Commission to decide whether the equipment is needed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0CLEAR LAKE, S.D. (AP) – A Powerball ticket sold in Clear Lake is worth $10,000 in the latest drawing.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 South Dakota lottery officials say the ticket matched four of five white ball numbers and the Powerball in Wednesday’s drawing to win the game’s third prize. The odds of winning it are 1 in about 649,000.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Powerball is played in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The jackpot is at $360 million for Saturday’s drawing.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says President Barack Obama will ask Congress in the coming days for authority to use U.S. military force against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. But House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) warns that it won’t be easy to pass the measure. He says it will be up to Obama to rally support from lawmakers and the public.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AMMAN, Jordan (AP) – Jordan’s military says dozens of its fighter jets have carried out bombing attacks Thursday on Islamic State targets — including training centers and weapons storage sites. Jordan is pledging to keep up the attacks until the militants are defeated. The strikes came even as Jordan’s King Abdullah paid a condolence visit to the family of the Jordanian pilot who was burned to death by his Islamic State captors.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – For a third straight day, Senate Democrats are blocking action on a measure funding the Homeland Security Department, because it would also reverse President Barack Obama’s administrative policies protecting millions of immigrants from deportation. Senate Democrats say they won’t agree to the bill unless all the immigration language is removed. Republicans say such a bill won’t pass the House.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PALATINE, Ill. (AP) – Health officials say five children under age 1 who attend the same suburban Chicago day care have been diagnosed with measles. Officials say it’s not clear if the cases are linked to the outbreak that started at Disneyland in December or to one other suburban Chicago case confirmed last month. Everyone affiliated with the day care has been notified and anyone not vaccinated for measles has been instructed to stay home and away from unvaccinated individuals for 21 days.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – South Carolina law enforcement officials say two people are dead in an apparent murder-suicide on the state’s flagship university campus. The school says the shooting occurred at its new School of Public Health, in a busy section of downtown Columbia.
