LARAMIE – The University of Wyoming women's basketball team is all about helping this season. And the Cowgirls' offense is receiving some unexpected help from the other side of the court. UW (10-3 overall, 2-0 Mountain West) enters this week ranked second in the conference and No. 22 nationally in points allowed at 54.1 per game. The obvious result of that number is the opposition is scoring less. But UW's improved defensive play appears to be helping with the offense as well. The Cowgirls, d...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The new GOP era in Washington got off to a messy start Tuesday as House Republicans, under pressure from President-elect Donald Trump, abruptly dropped plans to gut an independent congressional ethics board. The dizzying about-face came as lawmakers convened for the first day of the 115th Congress, an occasion normally reserved for pomp and ceremony under the Capitol Dome. Instead, House Republicans found themselves under attack not only from Democrats but from their new president, over their secretive move Monday to neuter th...
