UNDATED (AP) — The federal government is ending the roundup of cattle on public land in southern Nevada. The cattle are owned by a rancher who refuses to recognize the Bureau of Land Management's authority. The BLM says it made the decision out of a "serious concern" for the safety of employees and the public. The fight has widened into a debate about states' rights and federal land-use policy.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A repair job is being planned for the space station. A backup computer for some robotic systems failed Friday. The main computer is fine and the six-man crew is safe, but the malfunction puts next week's supply run in jeopardy. NASA says a spacewalk is needed to replace the bad computer. It will decide tomorrow whether to delay the delivery mission.
