The bar, located on Lake and Blaisdell streets in southern Minneapolis, filed the lawsuit Thursday morning, Roper said.

Rick Nelson, Champion's owner, says he feels the police are unfairly targeting his business, said Holly Wagner of WCCO.

It all stems from a drug bust that happened earlier this year where police say undercover officers bought crack in big drug deals on several occasions at Champions and at the bus stop right outside the bar, Wagner said.

The owner says these events and their high media profile damaged Champions' reputation, according to a KARE11.com article. Of the 14 people arrested, only two were convicted in court, and none had any connection to Champions.

Champions attorney Ed Matthews says city licensing officials attempted to use the arrests as grounds for attempting to revoke Champions' liquor license, according to the article.

Despite a great effort on the ground, Christian Ponder threw two costly interceptions that ended up costing the Vikings the game, Wiederer said.

The Vikings playoff hopes took a big hit, as they fell to 6-6 with the loss, said Jack Cassidy of SBNation.com.

The victory was Green Bay's tenth straight over a NFC North opponent, and put them into first place in the division, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com said.

The Chicago Bears lost at home to the Seattle Seahawks to allow the Packers to move into first place, Seifert said.

The Vikings will try to get back into the win column next week with a home game against the Bears, and will play the Packers once more in week 17.

The judges said they will not return to work until they can do so with no psychological or physical pressures, Sayah said.

The court was set to rule on the legitimacy of a legislative assembly that pushed through a new constitution referendum last week, said David Kirkpatrick of the New York Times.

Upon approaching the court on Sunday morning, the judges said in a statement that they saw crowds "closing the entrances of the roads to the gates, climbing the fences, chanting slogans denouncing its judges and inciting the people against them," Kirkpatrick said.

Many of the protestors see the court as a vestige of the ousted Mubarak regime, according to a Reuters.com article.

This is the same court that dissolved the Muslim Brotherhood-led lower house of parliament in June, the article said.

Ryan Larson, who lived in an apartment above the bar where Decker was shot, has been accused of murder, and is currently in custody, Oakes said.

Chief Phil Jones described Decker as the office jokester, and said everyone who met him, liked him, according to a Kare11.com article.

Jones added that Decker was married with four kids, the article said.

The man taken into custody, 34-year-old Ryan Michael Larson of Cold Spring, was being held Friday on suspicion of second-degree murder, according to a WCCO.com article. The county attorney's office was considering criminal charges.

Several guns were found, according to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, but the agency was searching for additional weapons that may be related to Decker's death, the article said.

Bush, 88, has been at Houston's Methodist hospital for the past six days, the article said.

"President Bush has been in and out of The Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center being treated for complications related to his bronchitis," Bush's office said in a statement Thursday, according to a FoxNews.com article. "He is in stable condition, and is expected to be released within the next 72 hours."

A Huffington Post article said Bush's staff expects he'll be released by the weekend.

The article also said his son and former President George Bush has been among the visitors.

The prize for Saturday's drawing was $325 million, the fourth-largest in history, but no one claimed the jackpot, Stapleton said.

News of the increased pot released on the company's page likely fueled buyers into a frenzy, said Michael Muskal of the Los Angeles Times.

Tickets can be purchased in any of the 42 participating states, Washington D.C. and the Virgin Islands, Muskal said.

Wednesday's jackpot is the second-biggest ever, said Gary Strauss of USA Today. A $656 million Mega Millions jackpot was won by three ticketholders in March.

Despite the frenzy, the odds of winning the jackpot are a mere 1 in 175 million, Strauss said.

Sasha, who helped Totino-Grace win a state basketball championship in 2008, had been attending the University of Minnesota-Duluth until her illness forced her to take a leave of absence, Estrada said.

Sasha suffered from lupus, an auto-immune disease, a ColumbusDispatch.com article said.

Kevin McHale, the current head coach of the Houston Rockets, took a leave of absence, leaving Kelvin Sampson to take over the coaching duties, the article said.

Following his Hall of Fame playing career with the Celtics, McHale spent several years with the Minnesota Timberwolves as a coach and executive before joining the Rockets following two seasons as a television analyst, according to a Boston.com article.

''While Kevin was with our organization, we all watched Sasha grow up and become an outstanding young woman,'' Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said in a statement. ''She will be sorely missed by her family and friends."

The story could have easily talked about the stereotypes of Arab-Muslims, and specifically the girl, but the story moves beyond that, and really gets to the meat of the story quickly. It is a well written feature about the miraculous recovery of this girl. It focuses on the journey that she's taken in the last month, rather than hovering on the cultural differences. It doesn't talk about how the health care in Pakistan may be different, or how living in the Middle East doomed her.

Much of the material of this story seems to come firsthand. It seems that the reporters is present in Pakistan, because it talks about the scene on the ground in Pakistan. It also uses past interviews CNN has done with the girl, and well as press releases from the UN to tell this story. The story also uses official government press releases, and information from within the hospital where the girl is being held.

The break-in occurred early Saturday, the article said.

Two males wearing dark clothes were spotted around 4:30 a.m., and fled the scene as soon as they spotted the guard, according to a Jacksonsun.com article.

Police searched the zoo, once with a thermal imager, but no one was found, the article said.

Police found blood at the found, and are still trying to determine if it was monkey or human blood, according to a ChicagoTribune.com article.

Police had no motive for the crime, the article added.

The crash happened a little before four in the afternoon at 77th Street W. and Argenta Trail south of Hwy. 55, she said.

The crash destroyed the car and ripped up part of the front of the school bus, Madeleine Baran of Minnesota Public Radio said.

The bus carried no passengers, nor was the bus driver injured, she said.

Tad Vezner of the Pioneer Press added the cause of the crash is still under investigation.

In addition, 50,000 Minnesotans logged onto their computers to give to their favorite charities, she said.

This year, K-12 schools have been added to the mix of organizations who can benefit from this drive, said Molly Guthrey of the Pioneer Press.

This was the fourth annual event, she added.

GiveMN began in 2009 by the Minnesota Community Foundation and 14 other funders. Since its launch, it has facilitated more than $48 million in donations to 6,100 Minnesota nonprofits, according to the organization's website, said Sarah Stultz of the Albert Lea Tribune.

Israel reported three people dead, while the Palestinians have put their number of dead at 13, though they will not say how many of them were militants, Levs said.

More than 245 rockets have been fired at Israel since "Operation Pillar of Defense" began Wednesday, Levs said.

Tel Aviv residents say they heard an explosion following an air-raid alert across the city, raising fears of a Gaza rocket strike on Israel's commercial capital, according to a FoxNews.com article.

Officials said two rockets had been fired at Tel Aviv early Thursday, but no reports had been made about where or when they hit, according to a Time.com article.

According to the article, earlier in the day, a third rocket landed in an open area of Rishon Lezion, a city on Tel Aviv's southern outskirts, but there were no casualties.

Obama will push hard to increase taxes on the top one percent of the nation, while striving to prevent tax increases on the rest of Americans, she said.

"We should not hold the middle class hostage while we debate tax cuts for the wealthy," said Obama, as cited in a USA Today article.

Catalina Camia of USA Today, said Obama is pushing for a deal before the holidays.

Obama answered questions in the just over hour long press conference, ranging from the Petreaus scandal to comments made about U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, said Peter Nicholas of the Wall Street Journal.

Obama ended the press conference by refusing to answer a question shouted out by a Bloomberg reporter, citing it would set a bad precedent, Nicholas said.

The reporter talks about the percentage change of veterans that have started businesses in the last 10 years. The article also talks about the percent of veterans that use the Montgomery G.I. Bill, and how that effects the number of people who start businesses right out of the military. Finally, the article talks about the number of dollars that is available for veterans who want to start a business.

The numbers, while present in this story, are not overwhelming. The author does a great job of bringing in a lot of context and background information to the story that help make the numbers make sense. The author doesn't provide any of the raw data that leads to the percent change, but rather just provides the finished product itself. The numbers came from a study released by the Kaufman Foundation.
