Dorgan seeks dot-kids domain to shield children online
Senator Byron Dorgan introduces a bill to create a dot-kids area within the US internet domain. Sites in the children zone would display only child friendly material and ban external links. Instant messaging and chat rooms would require safety certification to prevent predators. Critics say the measure may be ineffective and too broad in scope.

Eminent Domain Fight Over Transmission Line Plan Near Highway 302
Landowners Dick and Nancy Ballew of 387 acres along Highway 302 oppose a utility survey for new transmission lines. The company cites eminent domain rules and environmental studies while offering fair market value and possible tax reductions. Lines likely won't be installed for at least 18 months due to survey, appraisal, and negotiation steps.
