McCarthy selected Indiana congressman Jim Banks to be the top Republican on the panel. McCarthy also tapped for the panel Ohio’s Jim Jordan, Illinois’ Rodney Davis, North Dakota’s Kelly Armstrong and Texas’ Troy Nehls.

(AP) \u2014 With nearly half the cattle in North Dakota in extreme drought locations, ranchers are making some tough decisions on thinning their herds. At Kist Livestock Auction in Mandan, weekly sales are up by 1,000 head over a normal year, an increase of one-third. Matt Lachenmeier, the auction barn\u2019s field representative, says there’s a lot of cattle moving with some going to nearby states. Extension specialists say the rancher loses the genetics along with the time and effort it took to build the herd. There could be income tax implications too, and other financial issues still exist after the sale.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A soon-to-be-vacant South Central District judgeship will stay in Mandan. The North Dakota Supreme Court made that decision following Judge John Grinsteiner plans to retire Aug. 20. When a district judge leaves, the Supreme Court determines whether to keep the judgeship in the present location, move it elsewhere or abolish it. The decision is based on statewide caseload data and comments from interested parties including attorneys and judges. Justices say the district has experienced a 23% population growth since 2000, and more than 80% of the population lives in Burleigh-Morton counties. Caseload trends project felony filings to increase significantly this year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In sports…<\/p>\n Monday\u2026<\/p>\n American Legion Baseball<\/p>\n Class B District 7 Legion Baseball Tournament<\/p>\n Oakes 10 Enderlin 2<\/p>\n Oakes move on to the semifinals \u00a0playing \u00a0Lisbon at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday<\/p>\n MLB..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2014 Nelson Cruz hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning after tying the game with a solo shot in the sixth, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 in the first game of a doubleheader.

Rojas\u2019 outburst followed a bizarre play at Pittsburgh on Sunday.<\/p>\n Rojas started his suspension Monday night at Cincinnati. Bench coach Dave Jauss has temporarily taken over managerial duties. The argument followed a misplay by Mets starter Taijuan Walker that allowed the Pirates to score three runs. Walker swatted at a ball that he thought was foul, but it was called fair and no Mets players retrieved it.

The Giants placed All-Star shortstop Brandon Crawford on the 10-day injured list Monday due to an oblique strain.

VAN HORN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Jeff Bezos has blasted into space on his rocket company\u2019s first flight with passengers. He\u2019s the second billionaire in just over a week to ride his own spacecraft. The Amazon founder rode to space with a hand-picked group and their Blue Origin capsule landed 10 minutes later on the desert floor in West Texas. The passengers include Bezos\u2019 younger brother, an 18-year-old from the Netherlands and an 82-year-old aviation pioneer from the Dallas area. They\u2019re the youngest and oldest to ever hurtle off the planet. Named after America\u2019s first astronaut, the New Shepard rocket soared on the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.<\/p>\n
