ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — For the eighth straight month in January, Earth was record hot, according to the European climate agency. Even though it was record hot in January, the level above normal was lower than the previous six months, according to Copernicus data. This is the time of year that El Nino warming often peaks, said Texas A&M University climate scientist Andrew Dessler. Minneapolis has already set a record for the number of 50-degree days for a winter. “For maple trees to run, it needs to be freezing at night, above freezing during the day.

The settlement is likely to benefit as many as 500,000 residents whether they have insurance or not, and it covers all Lilly brand-name insulin products, Ellison said at a news conference. Litigation remains pending against two other manufacturers named in the 2018 lawsuit, Sanofi-Aventis and Novo Nordisk. The American Diabetes Association says more than 8 million Americans use insulin, which the body needs to convert food into energy. President Joe Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act capped out-of-pocket costs of insulin to people on Medicare to $35 a month, but only for seniors. Novo Nordisk last year also announced plans for insulin price cuts starting this year.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 62 around the midpoint of the fourth quarter in Minnesota. Mark it down: Jan. 22, 2024, was a day unlike almost any other in NBA history. On the 18th anniversary of Kobe Bryant's 81-point game for the Los Angeles Lakers — the second-best scoring game in NBA history — Embiid and Towns put on a scoring show of their own with a pair of career-high, franchise-record efforts. Towns scored his 62nd point — two more than his previous career best and Wolves record — on a layup with 5:27 left in Minnesota's game against Charlotte. It all meant Monday was the fourth day in NBA history where two players scored at least 60 points in the same day.

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson told Business Insider at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that two things consistently attract Americans to move to the state.

Johnson reminded BI that all housing costs are relative: "When you're talking about 'it's expensive to live in Dallas,' you're comparing Dallas to the Dallas of yesteryear."

People moving to New York are younger, make slightly more, and rent more than those leaving. 545,600 people moved from New York between 2021 and 2022, while 301,500 people moved into New York.

☆ Muslim Americans face 'Abandon Biden' dilemma - then who?
▼ + stars: | 2023-12-02 | by ( Andrew Hay | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

The so-called #AbandonBiden campaign began when Minnesota Muslim Americans demanded Biden call for a ceasefire by Oct. 31, and has spread to Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Florida. Muslim Americans said they did not expect Trump to treat their community any better if reelected but saw denying Biden votes their only means to shape U.S. policy. It remains to be seen whether Muslim voters would turn against Biden en masse, but small shifts in support could make a difference in states Biden won by narrow margins in 2020. A recent poll showed Biden's support among Arab Americans has plunged from a comfortable majority in 2020 to 17%. There are around 25,000 Muslim voters in Wisconsin, a state where Biden won by about 20,000 votes, said Tarek Amin, a doctor representing the state's Muslim community.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Football Bowl Subdivision newcomers James Madison and Jacksonville State along with five-win Minnesota are bound for bowls because of a shortage of eligible teams. James Madison (11-1) and Jacksonville State (8-4) are still transitioning to full FBS status and would not be eligible if there were enough six-win teams. James Madison, after having two appeals of bowl eligibility rules rejected by the NCAA, had threatened legal action to be allowed to play in a bowl. The inclusion of James Madison and Jacksonville State still left one opening for Minnesota, which had a 992 Academic Progress Rate score in 2021-22 for the best of the five-win teams. “There’s so many beneficial things to a bowl game, with practices, with development.

☆ Small music venues fight to keep prices affordable as inflation eats into profits

It has never been easy for small or independent music venues to turn a profit. Now, with inflated operating costs, some owners are struggling to keep ticket prices affordable for audiences and take chances on lesser-known artists. But many smaller, independent venues have yet to see business return to pre-pandemic levels, according to Stephen Parker, executive director of the National Independent Venue Association. "If you are a larger venue, you're probably doing quite well post-pandemic," he said. The latest challenge facing NIVA's network of independent venues, Parker said, is protecting margins in the face of higher costs.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips, who is running for president and challenging Joe Biden in the primary, announced Friday he will not seek reelection to Congress in 2024. Before Phillips won the seat as a Democrat in 2018, the area had a history of electing Republicans to the U.S. House. In October, Phillips became the first elected Democrat to challenge Biden for the nomination. Phillips is one of the wealthiest members of Congress and heir to his stepfather’s Phillips Distilling Company empire, which holds major vodka and schnapps brands.

Fans have been tracking the young male moose for weeks and posting updates on a Facebook page that as of Tuesday had more than 18,000 followers. Todd Froberg, the agency's big game program coordinator, said the young moose is likely looking for home territory or other moose and is expected to continue moving north. “He’s lost, and he’s trying to get home to his family,” said Bernie Stang, a moose fan who spotted the animal in late October. She suspects Rutt traveled from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa before coming back to Minnesota, based on news reports of moose sightings in South Dakota that match his description. Johnson said she created the Central MN Moose on the Loose Facebook page in 2018 to track another moose whose life tragically ended when it was fatally struck by a semi while crossing a highway.

The justices turned away Chauvin's appeal that he filed after a Minnesota appellate court upheld his 2021 murder conviction and rejected his request for a new trial. His attorney also said one juror may have concealed possible bias by failing to disclose during the jury selection process that he had attended "an anti-police 'George Floyd' rally." Attorneys for Minnesota did not respond to Chauvin's petition asking the Supreme Court to hear his appeal. The Minnesota Court of Appeals in April rebuffed Chauvin's appeal, upholding his conviction and rejecting his request for a new trial. Minnesota's top court in July denied Chauvin's request to review the case, prompting his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
