...Crimson cruised into the NCAA Frozen Four in Duluth, Minn. with a 32-1-0 record and ranked No.1 in the nation, but saw its historic run snapped unceremoniously by the same Wisconsin team in a 4-1 rout...
...complaint against Mark S. Trimble of Edmond, Okla., and his company, Phidippides Capital Management, for running a private hedge fund alleged to be a $30 million Ponzi. Before that, Obie and his enforcement team filed an enforcement action against Charles E. Hays and his Crossfire Trading of Rosemount, Minn., charging fraud and misappropriation in connection with a $25 million Ponzi that affected 75 people...
Carol Porter, 63 and no word mincer, sits in her modest kitchen in Euclid, Minn., and recalls the day her 118-year-old church was burned to the ground.

"It's a religious crisis, for sure," says Daniel Wolpert, pastor of First Presbyterian in Crookston, Minn., and a partner with the FTE, which supports young ministers and religious teachers.

Jeff Gustafson, in the town of Warren, Minn., adds a degree of difficulty: he's Methodist, but one of his two yoked churches is Presbyterian. Another pastor travels 200 miles (about 320 km) every weekend to serve five churches. A botched three-pastor attempt to connect three already yoked churches (including Grue) with four more resulted in, among other things, shut-ins being overlooked and not receiving Communion for years...
