Says Mike Hughlett of the Strib, “The combination of two large copper-nickel projects in northeastern Minnesota could bolster the financial strength of each as costs to build new mines have surged. PolyMet, owner of the proposed Minnesota hard-rock mine closest to becoming reality, completed on Wednesday a 50-50 joint venture deal with Teck American.

A KSTP-TV story says, “A north metro family is sharing their story of hope after life-changing brain surgery, thanks to MRI technology at Children’s Minnesota.

An NBC News story by Joy Yurcaba says, “South Dakota has joined five other states that have restricted transition-related care for transgender minors in just the past two years. On Monday, Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, signed the ‘Help Not Harm’ bill, which bans health care professionals from providing puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery to minors as treatment for gender dysphoria, which is the distress caused by a sense of conflict between the assigned sex at birth and the person’s gender identity. Providers who are already treating trans minors with puberty blockers, which temporarily pause puberty, or hormone therapy will be required to taper the minors off the medications by Dec. 31.”
