(AP) \u2014 Authorities say fires involving three oil wells in McKenzie County were brought under control over the weekend after they had burned for 16 days. Crews put out the fire at the first well northeast of Watford City last Tuesday and extinguished the final well on Saturday. An inspector from the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality was headed to the site to talk with personnel there and do a visual inspection.

(AP) \u2014 An effort by 11 former University of North Dakota women\u2019s hockey players to bring back the program that was dropped in 2017 has gotten a reprieve. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals revived the players\u2019 lawsuit on Tuesday. The original complaint alleged that when the school dropped hockey, it violated Title IX laws that prohibit women from being treated differently because of gender. But a federal judge said the lawsuit did not show a \u201csubstantial disproportionality\u201d between men\u2019s and women\u2019s athletic opportunities. The players appealed in October and a three-judge panel ruled that the athletes may be able to state an actionable Title IX claim.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\n<p>MLB&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2014 Willians Astudillo hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning and the Minnesota Twins held on for a 4-3 victory to stop a four-game winning streak for the Chicago White Sox. Rookie pitcher Griffin Jax gave the Twins a career-high six innings. He fell behind 3-2 on consecutive homers by Adam Engel and Jos\u00e9 Abreu in the third. Jax is the first Air Force Academy graduate to reach the major leagues. He struck out a career-best 10 with one walk. White Sox starter Dallas Keuchel gave up four runs in six innings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Jed Lowrie hit an RBI double in the 10th inning and the Oakland Athletics extended their winning streak to five, beating the Cleveland Indians 4-3. Oakland moved into sole possession of the top AL wild-card spot, one game ahead of Boston. Indians reliever Nick Wittgren retired the first two batters in the 10th before intentionally walking Matt Olson. Lowrie followed with a double to left field, scoring automatic runner Elvis Andrus.<\/p>\n<p>In other Tuesday MLB action:<\/p>\n<p>Brewers-Cubs<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Yonny Hernandez each hit an RBI single in the 10th inning, and the Texas Rangers snapped a 14-game road losing streak with a 5-4 win over the Seattle Mariners. The Rangers rallied twice to end their six-game skid overall, taking a 3-2 lead in the ninth on rookie Adolis Garc\u00eda\u2019s 25th home run before reliever Spencer Patton blew it. Patton walked three of the first four batters he faced to tie the game 3-all and load the bases with no outs. But he struck out J.P. Crawford and Mitch Haniger, and Brett Martin got the third out to send the game into extra innings.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Austin Nola hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning, lifting the San Diego Padres over Miami 6-5 and sending the Marlins to their fifth straight loss. Nola had two hits and two RBIs. He extended his hitting streak to a career-best nine games. With the score tied 5-all and Adam Frazier on second base with two outs, Nola hit a sharp single to left field against Richard Bleier. Mark Melancon got the last out of the eighth, worked around a leadoff double in the ninth and notched his MLB-leading 34th save.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LaMonte Wade Jr. scored the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning when first baseman Christian Walker failed to handle Kris Bryant\u2019s sharp grounder, and the San Francisco Giants danced on the field celebrating an 8-7 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Giants won their third straight and fifth in six games, doing it the hard way after going up 5-0 in the fifth. Brandon Crawford hit a go-ahead double in the eighth and Buster Posey homered. After scoring from first on Crawford\u2019s hit, Posey came up from his feet-first slide smiling and told Bryant, \u201cI\u2019m so fast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Salvador Perez homered twice to set a career high with 29 this season, and the Kansas City Royals rallied to beat the New York Yankees 8-4. Perez put the Royals ahead with a two-run blast in the first inning estimated at 418 feet, and he tied the game at 4 leading off the sixth. It was the fourth multi-homer game this season and 10th of his career for Perez, who marked the 10th anniversary of his major league debut.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Adam Duvall hit a two-run homer, Stephen Vogt\u2019s bases-loaded walk in the sixth forced in the go-ahead run and the Atlanta Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in a matchup of second-place teams. Braves left-hander Drew Smyly recovered after allowing a two-run home run to Aristides Aquino in the second inning. Smyly allowed two runs on only two hits in six innings. The left-hander won his sixth consecutive decision. The Braves began the night two games behind Philadelphia in the NL East. The Reds were six games behind Milwaukee in the NL Central.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jake Odorizzi and four relievers combined on a five-hit shutout, Taylor Jones had a two-run double and the Houston Astros beat the Colorado Rockies 5-0. Houston scored three runs in the fourth inning off Colorado starter Jon Gray. Chas McCormick had an RBI single, and Jones followed with a double. Jones and McCormick each finished with two hits. Michael Brantley had an RBI double in the fifth, and Jos\u00e9 Altuve added an RBI single in the sixth.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Justin Upton and Phil Gosselin each had two hits and two RBIs, and the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 in the first game of an unusual doubleheader. The opener of a four-game series featuring the top two home run hitters in the majors didn\u2019t produce any long balls from Shohei Ohtani or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Toronto batted last and was the \u201chome\u201d team at Angel Stadium in the first game, a makeup from an April 11 rainout at the Blue Jays\u2019 temporary home field early this season in Dunedin, Florida. In the regularly scheduled nightcap, the Angels will be the home team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 J.A. Happ combined with a trio of relievers on a one-hitter, Tommy Edman and Paul DeJong homered early and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the skidding Pittsburgh Pirates 4-1. Happ retired the first nine batters, then gave up rookie Hoy Park\u2019s first career home run to lead off the fourth inning. Making his second start for the Cardinals since being acquired from the Twins in a July 30 trade, Happ struck out five and walked two.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The series opener between the Washington Nationals and New York Mets was suspended in the top of the second inning because of rain. Washington is ahead 3-1 on the strength of a three-run homer from Juan Soto in his return to the starting lineup. Play will resume Wednesday at 4:10 p.m., and the game will remain scheduled for nine innings. Under pandemic rules, the regularly scheduled game between the teams Wednesday night will now be shortened to seven innings.<\/p>\n<p>MLB-NEWS<\/p>\n<p>Mattingly set to return Friday<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly is expected to rejoin the team Friday. He has been sidelined since he tested positive for COVID-19 on July 31. The 60-year-old Mattingly, who was vaccinated in mid-April, experienced mild symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>The Marlins began a series at San Diego on Monday, and Mattingly plans to return to the dugout when they start a homestand Friday against the Chicago Cubs. James Rowson has been the Marlins\u2019 acting manager in Mattingly\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n<p>In other MLB news:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Tampa Bay Rays placed left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough on the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday. Manager Kevin Cash said Yarbrough did not join the club in Boston for a three-game series that opened Tuesday night at Fenway Park. Yarbrough last pitched Friday, when he allowed five runs on nine hits in five innings before the Rays beat the Orioles 10-6. The Rays also activated outfielder Randy Arozarena from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday and had him batting leadoff.<\/p>\n<p>NHL-NEWS<\/p>\n<p>Hockey great Tony Esposito dies<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014Tony Esposito, a Hall of Fame goaltender who played almost his entire 16-year career with the Chicago Blackhawks, has died following a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 78.<\/p>\n<p>Esposito debuted with Montreal during the 1968-69 season and appeared in 13 games. He was then taken by the Blackhawks in an intraleague draft, quickly emerging as one of the league\u2019s best goalies. He won the Calder Trophy in 1970 as the NHL\u2019s best rookie as well as the Vezina Trophy given to the top goaltender. He also won the Vezina in 1972 and 1974.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the NHL:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Anaheim Ducks have re-signed defenseman Josh Mahura and left wings Max Comtois and Max Jones. Comtois got a two-year contract through the 2022-23 season, and Jones signed a three-year deal through 2024. Mahura\u2019s contract is for two years, and it is a two-way deal in the upcoming season only. Comtois was the leading scorer for the NHL\u2019s lowest-scoring team last season, posting a team-best 16 goals and 33 points in 55 games for the Ducks. Jones scored 11 points in 46 games for the Ducks last season. Mahura scored four points in 13 games for Anaheim last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Los Angeles Kings have signed top draft pick Brandt Clarke to a three-year, $2.775 million entry-level contract. The Kings chose the defenseman with the eighth overall pick. The 18-year-old Clarke is expected to play most of next season in the Ontario Hockey League, where he racked up 38 points in 57 games as a rookie with Barrie in the 2019-20 season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Detroit Red Wings and winger Jakub Vrana have agreed to a three-year contract worth $5.25 million per season. He had 11 points in 11 games last season with the Red Wings after they acquired him just before the NHL trade deadline. The Washington Capitals sent Vrana, Richard Panik, 2021 first- and 2022 second-round pick to Detroit for Anthony Mantha.<\/p>\n<p>NFL-NEWS<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Minnesota Vikings have activated quarterback Kellen Mond from the COVID-19 reserve list. The rookie completed a 10-day quarantine following a positive test for the virus. Mond joined the team on the field for the first time since July 30. After he was infected, fellow quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Nate Stanley were forced into a five-day quarantine under the NFL\u2019s high-risk close contact protocols.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers probably won\u2019t appear in any of Green Bay\u2019s three preseason games as the Packers look to get 2020 first-round draft pick Jordan Love as much work as possible. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Love will play the majority of the Packers\u2019 preseason opener Saturday against the Houston Texans and that Kurt Benkert also would get some snaps. LaFleur said Rodgers will \u201cmost likely not\u201d play in any preseason games.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Denver coach Vic Fangio has chosen Drew Lock to start the Broncos\u2019 preseason opener this weekend at Minnesota. Fangio says Lock gets the nod because he\u2019s the incumbent quarterback. He\u2019s in a training camp competition with veteran Teddy Bridgewater. There\u2019s been little separation between the two so far at training camp.<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett is dealing with a hamstring injury and could miss some time. Coach Kevin Stefanski didn\u2019t provide any specifics on Garrett\u2019s injury, but said he\u2019ll be held out of practice and is day-to-day going forward.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns play their exhibition opener on Saturday in Jacksonville. Stefanski would not say if Garrett will be able to go, saying he\u2019ll announce plans later in the week. The 25-year-old Garrett missed two games last season after contracting the COVID-19 virus. While Garrett is out, Browns starting linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. returned on a limited basis after missing a week with a knee injury.<\/p>\n<p>In other NFL news:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Buffalo Bills have activated Jerry Hughes from the non-football injury list. The team\u2019s top pass rusher missed the first two weeks of training camp because of an injured left calf. Buffalo also placed backup linebacker Marquel Lee on the reserve\/COVID list. Starting left tackle Dion Dawkins appears to be closing in on his return after opening camp on the reserve\/COVID list. Dawkins is no longer wearing a mask while watching practice from the sideline.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Saints veteran cornerback Patrick Robinson is retiring despite being a candidate for a starting job. Robinson was a 2010 first-round draft choice by New Orleans and turns 34 in September. He\u2019d been getting first-team snaps as the Saints try to fill a vacancy created when they allowed Janoris Jenkins to become a free agent in a cost-cutting move. Saints coach Sean Payton says he wasn\u2019t expecting Robinson\u2019s decision but understands when veteran players decide during training camp that they\u2019re ready to retire. Ken<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NBA-NEWS<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Brooklyn Nets have signed veteran Australian guard Patty Mills. The NBA team did not disclose terms of the deal for the free agent. Mills has appeared in 739 career games across 12 NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers. He has averaged 8.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists. This past season with the Spurs, the 32-year-old Mills appeared in 68 games and averaged 10.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists, hitting a career-high 161 3-pointers. Mills won a bronze medal in the just-concluded Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Free agent forward Andre Iguodala is returning to the Golden State Warriors, whom he helped win the 2015 championship as he became the NBA Finals MVP. Iguodala signed a one-year contract for the veteran minimum of $2,642,000. After the Heat declined his $15 million team option last week, Iguodala will reunite with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and newly crowned Olympic gold medalist Draymond Green under coach Steve Kerr.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Free agent point guard Dennis Schr\u00f6der says he is signing one-year deal with the Celtics, ending his up and down one-year stint with the Lakers. Schr\u00f6der announced the move on Instagram. ESPN reported the pending deal with Boston is for the $5.9 million mid-level exception. Schr\u00f6der reportedly turned down a four-year, $84 million extension offer from the Lakers during the season. Schr\u00f6der spent last season in Los Angeles after being dealt by Oklahoma City last offseason.<\/p>\n<p>NCAA REFORM<\/p>\n<p>NCAA picks 23-member committee to reform its constitution<\/p>\n<p>INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 The NCAA has selected a 23-member committee to work on reforming its constitution.<\/p>\n<p>It includes university presidents, college sports administrators and athletes across all three divisions.

(AP) \u2014 Virginia Union University says a freshman football player died after collapsing during practice over the weekend. In a letter to students and staff Monday, the university\u2019s president said Quandarius Wilburn collapsed Sunday during a conditioning session. News outlets report that the letter says the 19-year-old defensive end from Wadley, Georgia, was taken to VCU Medical Center, where he died. University President Hakim Lucas called Wilburn\u2019s death \u201ca heartbreaking loss for our campus community.\u201d The school says it is ready to support families and students \u201cto process this devastating loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HEAT DEATH-COACHES CHARGED<\/p>\n<p>Coaches charged with murder in heat death of Georgia student<\/p>\n<p>JONESBORO, Ga. (AP) \u2014 A grand jury has charged two coaches with murder and child cruelty in the death of a Georgia high school basketball player who suffered a heat stroke after practicing outdoors in nearly 100-degree weather.<\/p>\n<p>Court records indicate the Atlanta-area grand jury indicted Larosa Walker-Asekere and Dwight Palmer last month. Sixteen-year-old Imani Bell was a junior at Elite Scholars Academy in Clayton County. She was participating in required conditioning drills for the girls\u2019 basketball team in August 2019 when she collapsed after running up the football stadium steps. She died later that day of heat-related cardiac arrest and kidney failure. Court records don\u2019t list an attorney for either defendant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Democrats have pushed a $3.5 trillion framework for bolstering family services, health, and environment programs through the Senate. The chamber&#8217;s party-line approval of the budget resolution advances President Joe Biden\u2019s expansive vision for reshaping federal priorities. And it happened just hours after senators handed him a triumph on a companion $1 trillion infrastructure package. The budget&#8217;s passage was crucial for a president and party set on training the government\u2019s fiscal might at assisting families, creating jobs and fighting climate change. That&#8217;s because the fiscal blueprint will protect a subsequent bill this fall actually enacting Democrats&#8217; policies from GOP Senate filibusters that would kill it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is preparing to take the reins of power after Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he would resign from office. The western New York Democrat will become New York&#8217;s first female governor in two weeks following an unorthodox transition period in which Cuomo has said he will stay on and work to ease her into the job. Hochul stayed out of public sight Tuesday but said in a statement that she was \u201cprepared to lead.\u201d Cuomo announced Tuesday that he would resign rather than face a likely impeachment trial over allegations that he sexually harassed several women. He denies touching anyone inappropriately.<\/p>\n<p>KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) \u2014 Officials says the Taliban seized three more provincial capitals in Afghanistan and a local army headquarters in a blitz across the country\u2019s northeast. The insurgents now control some two-thirds of the nation as the U.S. and NATO finalize their withdrawal after its decades-long war there. The fall of the capitals of Badakhshan and Baghlan provinces to the northeast and Farah province to the west put increasing pressure on the country\u2019s central government to stem the tide of the advance, even as its lost a major base in Kunduz on Wednesday. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani rushed to Balkh province, already surrounded by Taliban-held territory, to seek help pushing back the insurgents from warlords.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SEOUL, South Korea (AP) \u2014 North Korea has repeated a threat to respond to U.S.-South Korean military exercises it claims are an invasion rehearsal, while the United States insisted the drills were \u201cpurely defensive in nature\u201d to maintain the South\u2019s security. A senior North Korean official condemned South Korea for continuing the drills and warned of counteractions that would make Seoul \u201crealize by the minute\u201d it had walked into a security crisis. Reports say preliminary work is underway before larger computer-simulated drills start next week. State Department spokesperson Ned Price stressed \u201cthe United States harbors no hostile intent\u201d toward North Korea and said the U.S. supported inter-Korean dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SINGAPORE (AP) \u2014 World stocks are mixed ahead of U.S. inflation data offering a glimpse at how the world\u2019s largest economy is recovering. European indexes climbed in early trading, while S&amp;P 500, Dow and Nasdaq futures fell. Analysts are expecting the latest U.S. headline inflation rate, due Wednesday, to grow at a slower pace of 5.3% in July from a year earlier. This is slightly lower than June\u2019s 5.4%. Air travel fares and used cars were driving past increases, but investors will be looking at food and housing prices in the new data. They are also looking at the spread of the coronavirus and the impact on restrictions to curb transmission of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; REST OF TODAY&#8230;Mostly sunny.
