Some Miami teammates jumped around the locker room to celebrate after eliminating top-seeded Milwaukee; Butler simply watched while sipping a drink.He does things his way, which is not a bad thing — and the results prove it. Butler has led Miami to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the third time in his four seasons with the Heat; this year, a matchup with the New York Knicks awaits, starting Sunday.“He puts his soul into competing,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “When you put that much physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy into that will to win, that is so unique.

(CNN) — La nueva aplicación de redes sociales del momento se parece tanto a Twitter que es casi difícil distinguir las dos. Los perfiles, líneas de tiempo y colores son casi idénticos.

Jared Polis and the State of Colorado after multiple gun bills were signed into law on Friday.The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners group is suing over two new laws - one that requires a minimum three-day waiting period before a firearm can be purchased and raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21 years old.

Polis signs gun control bills after massacre Members of the group are funding the lawsuits, the release said. “The idea that an 18-year-old can vote, serve on a jury that could send someone to jail for life, sign contracts, own property, and even be drafted into our nation’s military, but not be able to possess a basic hunting rifle is asinine. Regardless of age, sex, race, religion, or creed, rights are rights and can’t be cherry-picked by bigoted politicians," Dudl...
