Heat fail to seize upon shorthanded Cavaliers in 130-116 foul-filled, turnover-plagued loss

MIAMI – Commit enough turnovers and fouls and sometimes it doesn’t matter who you are playing. It is a hard reality the Miami Heat learned in Wednesday night’s 130-116 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Kaseya Center. As in a Cavaliers team that gave the night off to Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley and had lost Darius Garland to injury two nights before. No matter, on a night the Heat too often fouled instead of defended, too often turned the ball over instead of turned up the offense. And, with that, much of the edge taken Monday night’s dramatic overtime victory over the Cavaliers, as...

Tribes that restored buffalo are killing some to feed people because of the shutdown

By MATTHEW BROWN and GRAHAM LEE BREWER of The Associated Press and AMELIA SCHAFER of ICT WOLF POINT, Mont. (AP) — On the open plains of the Fort Peck Reservation, Robert Magnan leaned out the window of his truck, set a rifle against the door frame and then “pop!” — a bison tumbled dead in its tracks.

Buffalo graze at the...

By GEOFF MULVIHILL, Associated Press Congress has taken a major step toward reopening the government, but there’s still uncertainty about when one of the most far-reaching impacts of the closure will be resolved and all 42 million Americans who receive SNAP food aid will have access to their full November benefits. The House on Wednesday adopted a plan to reopen and sent it to President Donald Trump to sign. One provision calls for restarting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, but even that doesn’t resolve when the benefits will be loaded onto the debit cards beneficiaries use...
