(AP) \u2014 An auction for a former missile site in northeastern North Dakota fell short of the hoped-for price Tuesday. Over 70 bidders were registered online to bid on the 50-acre, double-fenced, Cold War-era site near Fairdale. Leslie Volochenko of Mandan bought the property in 2012 and put it up for sale since he hopes to move to Texas. Dave Keller of Pifer\u2019s Auction &amp; Realty conducted the auction but says the highest bidder fell short of the nearly half-million-dollar price Volochenko hoped to get. Keller says they are negotiating with the highest bidder, who is a man from North Dakota, and hope to have things figured out by the end of the week. The Bismarck Tribune reports the site includes a command bunker and 14 missile launch tubes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Data from the American Immigration Council shows North Dakota has a small but growing community of immigrants, with many coming from the Philippines. The council\u2019s latest figures show immigrants comprised 6% of the state\u2019s workforce in 2018. Immigrants accounted for 13% of the state\u2019s production employees and 11% of residents working in the manufacturing industry. The state\u2019s 1,506 immigrant business owners accounted for 3% of all self-employed in 2018 and generated $66.8 million in business income. Immigrant-led households in the state paid about $156 million in federal taxes and $71 million in state and local taxes in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MANDAN, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A large fire at an apartment complex in Mandan has displaced its tenants. Flames could be seen shooting from the roof of the three-story Sunset Bluffs Apartments Monday night. The Red Cross is assisting an unknown number of people whose apartments were lost or damaged. Mandan Fire Chief Steve Nardello said Tuesday the roof of the complex is \u201cburned off.\u201d The fire started on the third floor, possibly on a balcony. There are no known injuries to residents or firefighters. The Bismarck Tribune reports the complex is next to the building that burned in July 2019 and was later razed.

They also cited the broader state of the pandemic in the United States, which has had more than 5 million cases of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>All fall sports in the Big Ten have been called off and a spring season will be explored.<\/p>\n<p>Two smaller conferences, the Mid-American and Mountain West, had already announced the uncertain move to spring football. The decisions by the deep-pocketed Big Ten and Pac-12, with hundred million-dollar television contracts and historic programs, shook the foundation of college sports.<\/p>\n<p>SUPREME COURT-NCAA<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 A court decision the NCAA says will hurt college sports by allowing certain student-athletes to be paid \u201cvast sums\u201d of money as \u201ceducational expenses\u201d will go into effect after the Supreme Court declined Tuesday to intervene at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Elena Kagan denied the NCAA\u2019s request to put a lower court ruling on hold at least temporarily while the NCAA asks the Supreme Court to take up the case. It plans to do so by mid-October.<\/p>\n<p>Kagan declined to put on hold a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In May it upheld a lower-court ruling prohibiting the NCAA from limiting compensation for education-related expenses for student-athletes. The ruling applies to athletes in Division I football and basketball programs.<\/p>\n<p>The NCAA said the ruling \u201ceffectively created a pay-for-play system for all student-athletes, allowing them to be paid both \u2018unlimited\u2019 amounts for participating in \u2018internships\u2019\u201d and an additional $5,600 or more each year they remain eligible to play their sport.<\/p>\n<p>NBA &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Jayson Tatum scored 29 points and the Boston Celtics ran past the Memphis Grizzlies, 122-107. The Grizzlies missed another chance to guarantee themselves a spot in the Western Conference play-in series. Boston, which has already locked up the Eastern Conference\u2019s third seed, won its fourth straight. Gordon Hayward added 19 points and five assists. Ja Morant led Memphis with 26 points and 13 assists.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Harrison Barnes scored 25 points, including 12 in the third quarter, and the Kings beat the New Orleans Pelicans 112-106. The Kings earned only their second win in the NBA restart \u2014 each over the Pelicans.<\/p>\n<p>LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Damian Lillard tied his career high with 61 points, willing Portland to a 134-131 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night that moved the Trail Blazers into eighth place in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n<p>The Blazers will clinch a spot in the play-in series with a win Thursday against Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>Lillard made nine 3-pointers in his sixth 50-point game of the season. He\u2019s the 12th player in NBA history to score 50 points in back-to-back games after dropping 51 on the 76ers on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>He scored in every way imaginable, from well beyond the 3-point line, on blow-by drives, short jumpers and at the foul line. Lillard finished 17 of 32 from the floor and 9 of 17 from beyond the arc while making all 18 free throw attempts. Carmelo Anthony added 26 points on 10-of 17 shooting for Portland.Kristaps Porzingis scored 36 points and Luka Doncic had 25 points.<\/p>\n<p>In other Tuesday hoop action:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Devin Booker scored 35 points and the Phoenix Suns protected their playoff hopes by beating the Philadelphia 76ers 130-117 to remain undefeated in the NBA restart. Booker became the Suns\u2019 career leader with his 91st 30-point game, breaking a tie with Walter Davis. Phoenix is 7-0 as the only undefeated team in the restart and an unlikely factor in the tight race for a spot in this weekend\u2019s play-for the final playoff spot.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Brook Lopez scored 24 points on five 3-pointers and the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Washington Wizards 126-113 despite NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo getting ejected in the second quarter for headbutting Moritz Wagner. Wagner took a charge from Antetokounmpo, who didn\u2019t like the call in what had become a physical game early on. Rui Hachimura led the Wizards with 20 points and Ish Smith added 19.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Jeremiah Martin and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot each scored 24 points, and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Orlando Magic 108-96 on Tuesday as both teams looked ahead to the playoffs. Dzanan Musa added 17 points and Tyler Johnson had 14 for the Nets, who improved to 5-2 in the restart with their third straight victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Keldon Johnson had 24 points and 11 rebounds and San Antonio kept alive its chances of becoming the first team in NBA history to make 23 consecutive playoff appearances with a 123-105 win over the Houston Rockets. San Antonio has won three straight and five out of seven inside the bubble. DeMar DeRozan added 23 points. Jakob Poeltl finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Russell Westbrook had 20 points and seven turnovers in his first game back in the lineup for Houston after missing two games with a bruised right quadriceps.<\/p>\n<p>NBA-BUCKS-ANTETOKOUNMPO EJECTED<\/p>\n<p>LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.

(AP) \u2014 Joe Biden has chosen California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, making history by selecting a Black woman for a major party&#8217;s presidential ticket for the first time in history. It&#8217;s a move that fulfills the wish of Democrats clamoring to see a woman of color on the ticket. The 55-year-old Harris was elected to the Senate in 2016 after serving as California\u2019s attorney general. She competed against Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination but left the race before voting began as she struggled to raise money. One of notable moments of her presidential campaign came at the expense of Biden, when she slammed his past opposition to school busing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With a coronavirus vaccine still months off, companies are rushing to test what may be the next best thing: antibody drugs that fight the virus right away, without having to train the immune system to do the job. Antibodies are proteins the body makes when an infection occurs; they attach to a virus and help it be eliminated. The drugs are concentrated versions of specific antibodies that worked best against the coronavirus in lab an animal tests. They&#8217;re being tested to treat COVID-19 and for preventing infection in people at high risk of it. Results of key studies are expected by fall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A municipal government in China has donated 40,000 medical-grade face masks to Maryland\u2019s capital city.

Four cases among people in one Auckland household were the country&#8217;s first cases of local transmission in 102 days. A health official said one of the infected people works at a food cold-storage facility, which was being swabbed to check if it was the possible source. The cluster surprised many and raised questions about whether the general election would go ahead as planned next month.

Britain\u2019s recession is deeper than those recorded by comparable economies in Europe, notably Germany, France and Italy, or that of the United States.
