What else we're watching:
A different kind of health care: New St. Paul clinic will stress culturally competent providers. Julia Joseph-Di Caprio has helped shape Twin Cities health coverage as an executive for large providers and insurers. Now she is going back to her first love, treating children and teens.

Minnesota recognizes she's a woman. She's locked in a men's prison anyway. When transgender people are incarcerated, they're often put in prisons that don't align with their gender identity. Some are taking legal action to try to get moved to prisons that match their gender.

Minnesota birds make list of threatened 'tipping point' species. Grassland and forest birds, in particular, are struggling. But some waterfowl species have rebounded thanks to successful wetland restoration. 
 
Weekend weather: Cool temps; NE Minnesota could see some flakes Saturday. Some intermittent snow showers are possible on Saturday morning in north-central and northeastern Minnesota and in far northwestern Wisconsin. The snow showers could change to a rain-snow mix or all rain in those same areas Saturday afternoon.
