By Mary Turck , News Day blog

Happy Fourth of July! I will be publishing some other articles on my blog, but no News Day over the holiday weekend. Keep reading the Daily Planet, come visit the blog, and News Day will return on Monday.

Unemployment up – slightly June unemployment (seasonally adjusted) rose to 9.5 percent, up from 9.4 percent in May in the official figure. The U-6 figure, which includes discouraged workers and those who are working part-time because they cannot find full-time jobs, rose from 16.4 percent to 16.5 percent. MORE

• General Mills puzzle How can profits almost double, when sales go up only five percent?
• Excel Dairy – still making people sick Despite lawsuits and MPCA orders, more hydrogen sulfide in the air

Weekend What's What: 7/2-7/5: Red, white, and bodacious

By staff , l'etoile magazine

Happy B-Day America! As a bazillion of our fellow countrymen prepare to grill hot dogs, drink beer and watch fireworks, you’ll be taking it up a notch thanks to all the hip events this weekend. Shuck the traditional and toss on that Darth Vader suit you’ve been saving for a rainy day and hit up the ConVergence Sci-Fi Convention, or head to the Soap Factory Saturday night for the annual Ten Second Film Festival. There are plenty of rock shows, dance parties and art exhibits to be had as well, so slither into your patriotic party pants and enjoy! MORE »

FORUM | Cut the Minneapolis Civil Rights Department's Complaint Investigation Unit?

By Ellen Frazel , TC Daily Planet

Should Minneapolis abolish the Complaint Investigation Unit of the city’s civil rights department? Read both sides of the argument. Then add your opinion.

“By almost any indicator, in terms of income, education, healthcare, and home ownership,” said Councilmember Robert Lilligren, “in Minneapolis, the gap between communities of color and white communities is greater than almost every city in the country. After such a robust civil rights movement in this city, that gap is still persistent, and it grows. I can only imagine that this gap exists because of discrimination.” MORE »

Stories We're Working On

In progress

These are some of the stories we are working on. We invite and encourage you to contribute to these stories, or to suggest other stories that you would like to see covered.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Hmong Freedom Celebration and Sports Tournament Coming up this weekend! We’re looking for community input about the sports tournament, your experiences at the tournament, how it has changed over the years, what the gathering of Hmong from around the country and around the world means, and any other thoughts you might have about the weekend.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar park volunteers
Minneapolis parks have recently tightened enforcement of rules about background checks for volunteers. But does the “systemic bias of the criminal justice system” mean that many African American males will be barred from serving as volunteers? We want to hear your ideas.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar parks volunteers: Anonymous – It’s about risk management and liability. Imagine some volunteer working with the Park and Rec does something unspeakable to a child or vulnerable adult—it’s then discovered that this is part of a pattern—they’ve done this before, in a similar situation and were caught…It’s due diligence to figure out what these high-risk positions are and what the appropriate requirements should be.
