BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Police say North Dakota Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirsten Baesler has been arrested on a preliminary assault charge and released from custody after posting bond.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A statement from the Bismarck Police Department says Baesler was taken into custody after officers responded to a report of domestic assault at a home early Sunday. Police say a 48-year-old man with a visible injury told officers that Baesler assaulted him.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police say officers located Baesler and arrested her on a charge of simple assault. She was booked in the Burleigh County Detention Center.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A detention officer says Baesler was released Sunday night on a $150 cash bond.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baesler said in a statement that she wishes she’d sought help escaping the “unhealthy relationship” before things escalated.

\n\u00a0
\nAuthorities have charged 30-year-old Nicholas Desjarlais with negligent homicide. The felony charge carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem is cautioning North Dakota residents that scam artists are taking advantage of a recent data breach at Anthem Inc.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthem services the Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance networks nationwide. Stenehjem says scam artists are now sending out emails claiming to be from Anthem, offering free credit monitoring for its customers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem says the phony email includes a link to a supposed credit monitoring service and requires a Social Security number to be entered. He says any information entered on the phony website goes straight to the scam artists.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthem says it’s using regular mail only – not email – to notify people affected by the breach.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Declining farm markets have left many North Dakota farmers wondering what to plant in the spring.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spence Koenig of Pioneer Seeds says some farmers are still trying to figure out how many acres and which crops to plant. He says seed sales were busy in December, slowed during the first part of the year and are now beginning to pick back up.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Koenig says his company has already sold out of alfalfa seed due to high interest from cattle producers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Harry Kaasian (KASH’-in) of Russell Hedging is a marketing grain expert. He says farmers are taking more time to assess their finances and figure out which crops are more profitable.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kaasian says the markets should bounce back once the railroad gets back to a more normal transportation schedule.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Retired South Central District Judge Donald Jorgensen has been honored for the work he did addressing domestic violence and advocating for children.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jorgensen, who ended a three-decade career behind the bench in July, was presented with the “Love Without Fear” award from the Abused Adult Resource Center in Bismarck.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tamara Barber is the chair of the center’s board of directors. Barber says Jorgensen was extremely fair to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

\n\u00a0

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The chief of the North Dakota Department of Health’s environmental health section says he welcomes an audit of his agency’s performance related to regulating oil and gas.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dave Glatt tells The Associated Press that he expects such an audit, even though it won’t be required by law.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s House last week soundly defeated bipartisan legislation by a 67-22 vote that would have required performance audits of the state Department of Mineral Resources and the state Department of Health. Both agencies have departments that regulate oil and gas activity in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 House Democratic Minority Leader Kenton Onstad sponsored the bill that would have required the audits.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Onstad says the bill was crafted after increasing worry from landowners and others that the agencies were not adequately regulating the oil industry.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The money can be used for plants and supplies. It can’t be used to buy land or to build permanent structures.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The eight groups receiving money are in Fort Yates, Wahpeton, Munich, Colfax, Sheyenne, Mylo, Fargo and Bismarck.<\/p>\n

NBA…<\/p>\n

\u00a0NEW YORK (AP) – The New York Daily News is reporting that the New York Knicks have agreed to a buyout with Amare Stoudemire.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stoudemire has battled injuries since signing a five-year contract worth about $100 million in 2010. He will be able to sign with another team once he clears waivers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Knicks would not confirm the report Sunday, which cited a league source. Stoudemire had said before the All-Star break that he wasn’t sure if he wanted to stay with the team, which has the NBA’s worst record, knowing he didn’t have much time left in his career to chase a championship.<\/p>\n

NASCAR…<\/p>\n

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Jeff Gordon will start from the pole in the final Daytona 500 of his career next Sunday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gordon announced that this will be his final full-time season as a NASCAR driver, and he’s been adamant that next Sunday’s Daytona 500 will be his last. The four-time NASCAR champ and three-time Daytona 500 winner secured the pole with Hendrick teammate Jimmie Johnson locking down the other front row spot.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For the first time in 57 years knockout rounds were used to determine the pole sitter and not all the drivers liked it. Clint Bowyer called it a “cute show” after he wrecked in the first round. Reigning champion Kevin Harvick grumbled Daytona’s tradition had been ruined, while three-time champion Tony Stewart called it “a complete embarrassment for our series.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not long after qualifying was over the cars of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Denny Hamlin failed post-qualifying inspection for the Daytona 500 pole. Earnhardt and Hamlin will have to start at the rear of their respective qualifying races Thursday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Earnhardt posted the 10th-fastest time in the final qualifying round. Hamlin was third fastest in the session.<\/p>\n

(AP) – Brandt Snedeker closed with a 5-under-par 67 to win the Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the second time in three years, beating Nick Watney by three strokes. He was 22-under for the tournament, topping the scoring mark of minus-20 set in 2013. He had just one bogey in 72 holes and assured himself a spot in the Masters and PGA Championship after falling out of the top 50 at the end of last season.

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) – Two men who are suspected of helping the gunman who carried out the deadly attacks in Denmark over the weekend are making a court appearance today. A defense lawyer says they’re accused of helping the gunman evade authorities and get rid of a weapon. The attacker was eventually killed in a shootout with police. Two people had been killed in the attacks. One was a Danish filmmaker attending a free speech event. The other was a security guard outside a synagogue.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CAIRO (AP) – Egypt is quickly striking back against Islamic State targets in Libya — just hours after the release of a video showing the beheading of a group of Egyptian Christian hostages on a beach there. Egyptian warplanes today launched attacks on militant positions in Libya — the first time Egypt has publicly acknowledged taking military action in the neighboring country.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BRUSSELS (AP) – Expectations are low as Greece’s new radical left government begins talks with the country’s European creditors. Athens wants a substantial easing in the terms of repayment of its rescue loans, and it wants to be free from some of the austerity requirements. Germany’s finance minister says he’s “very skeptical” that a solution can be found at today’s meeting in Brussels.

A water pipe in the control tower burst last night, triggering an alarm and an evacuation. Some flights had to be diverted elsewhere. Single-digit temperatures and frigid winds gripped the Washington area over the weekend.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 VATICAN CITY (AP) – Homeless men and women are lining up outside the public restrooms off St. Peter’s Square to take advantage of Pope Francis’ new charitable initiative: a free shave and shower for the least fortunate. The Vatican’s barber shop for the homeless opened today. The pope’s chief alms-giver has said the project is needed since homeless people are often shunned for their appearance.
