China's ban on key high-tech materials could have broad impact on industries, economyWASHINGTON — Nikola Jokic scored a career-high 56 points and had little to celebrate afterward. It happened in a loss — to a team that hadn't won since October. “I think today and the last couple games were really bad for us,” Jokic said. “We are really going in the wrong direction. I think it's everybody's fault.” If Jokic had any excitement over an astounding stat line that also included 16 rebounds and eight assists, he didn't show it. His efforts were wasted in a 122-113 loss Saturday night to a Washington team that had lost 16 games in a row. Denver (11-10) hasn't won back-to-back games in nearly a month, and now the Nuggets have lost two in a row. If the season ended now, they'd be a play-in team. No wonder Jokic offered a particularly drastic solution afterward. “In my country, where I’m coming from, after this kind of stretch, you’re going to get paycheck that is a little bit less than you had hoped,” the Serbian star said, drawing a laugh. "Maybe that’s what we need to do. Maybe a little motivation.” Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (15)looks to score a basket past Washington Wizards guard Jared Butler (4) during the second half of an NBA basketball game Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024, in Washington.

Jokic ended up attempting 38 shots from the field — also a career high — as he tried to carry Denver to a win. “I was forcing at the end,” he said. His previous career high in scoring was 50 — also in a loss, at Sacramento on Feb. 6, 2021. Jokic scored 23 points — on 20 shots — in the third quarter against the Wizards as Denver cut a 12-point halftime deficit to six. Then he took a rest and Washington pushed the lead back into double digits. The Wizards outscored Denver by eight when Jokic was out and by one when he was in the game.

Jordan Poole led Washington with 39 points, including nine 3-pointers, but the Wizards also had balance that Denver lacked. Justin Champagnie scored a career-high 23 and Jonas Valanciunas banged with Jokic inside and finished with 20 points. Malone put the blame on himself. “I'm doing a really poor job with this team,” he said. “For us to be 11-10 at this point and losing to a team that last five games is averaging a hundred points a game and they put up 122 on us — I'm embarrassed by that.”FCT: Minister tasks COE Zuba to run all-embracing curriculumace super casino login download 。

7 tips to prepare for next year’s taxes nowAttributing his party’s victory in the Channapatna byelection to “direct and indirect” support from JD(S) and BJP leaders and workers, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Sunday said people from across parties helped the Congress in this election. “If the BJP and JD(S) leaders had not supported us directly or indirectly, we would not have got so many votes. I congratulate them,” Mr. Shivakumar, who is also the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president told media persons in Kanakapura. “Many people from across parties have helped us in this election (Channapatna). The Congress had polled only 16,000 votes in the previous Assembly election. The number increased in the Lok Sabha election and it has further gone up now,” he siaid. “BJP leader C.N. Ashwath Narayan said on Saturday that he knew about our party candidate C.P. Yogeshwar’s victory beforehand. Is he dumb to say so having been the district in-charge Minister and Deputy Chief Minister? He knew the pulse of the people,” Mr. Shivakumar said. Referring to JD(S) leader G.T. Deve Gowda’s statement that he would join the Congress if people desired so, he said, “It is not just his (Mr. Gowda’s) opinion. A lot of people want him to do it. Many in the BJP have the same thoughts. Could we have won this election if BJP leaders had not supported us?” he said. Asked about Union Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy’s statement that money power defeated his son, Nikhil Kumaraswamy, in Channapatna, he said, “Then what do you call D.K. Suresh’s defeat in the Lok Sabha election? Mr. Yogeshwar was still in the BJP then. Mr. Kumaraswamy got his brother-in-law elected. How do you explain this?” ‘Promises will be fulfilled’ The Deputy Chief Minister assured the people of Channapatna that all promises made before the byelection would be fulfilled. “The Congress government will fulfil the aspirations of the people of Channapatna. We listened to the problems of the people of Channapatna after the seat was vacated. The people have blessed us now and we will repay that debt through development works,” he said. “District in-charge Minister Ramalinga Reddy has undergone a leg surgery. Before we go for the winter session of the legislature in Belagavi, we will hold a meeting to discuss and initiate all our promises,” he said. ‘Credit goes to all’ Asked about who gets the credit for the victory, he said, “This is not a victory that belongs to one or two individuals. This is a result of concerted efforts by all in the party.” Replying to a query on whether Ramanagara district has become “JD(S)-free” now, he said, “It is not important for us to make Ramanagara JD(S)- mukt . Their tally will go down from 19 to 18 in the Assembly now.” Meanwhile, addressing a women’s convention in Kanakapura, Mr. Shivakumar said the coalition government in Maharashtra copied the Congress government’s Gruha Lakshmi guarantee scheme. “They launched the ‘ Ladli Behna Yojana’ of giving women a financial benefit of ₹1,500 through direct benefit transfer. We had also announced a ‘Mahalakshmi’ scheme and had promised to give ₹3,000. They launched the scheme just six months before the election and this resulted in their victory now,” he said.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The roof at the home of the Dallas Cowboys opened without incident and will stay that way for a Monday night meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. It was to be the first game with the roof open at AT&T Stadium since Oct. 30, 2022, a 49-29 Dallas victory over Chicago. The roof was supposed to be open three weeks ago for Houston’s 34-10 victory on another Monday night, but a large piece of metal and other debris fell roughly 300 feet to the field as the retractable roof was opening about three hours before kickoff. The Cowboys decided to close the roof after the incident, and it remained that way for the game. There were no injuries, and the start of the game wasn’t delayed. The club said at the time it would investigate the cause with a plan to reopen the roof when it was deemed safe. Wind was cited as a cause for the falling debris. There were gusts of at least 30 mph in the afternoon before the meeting with the Texans. It was sunny with a high in the 70s Monday in the Dallas area, and winds were in the 10 mph range.

How a longtime lack of vision has hurt Sacramento | Other viewsPresident-elect Donald Trump is navigating rocky political waters as two of his nominees, Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard, face scrutiny from U.S. senators. Both are controversial figures, and their confirmations hang in the balance, reliant on ardent Republican backing. Hegseth, known from his days at Fox News, is vying for the secretary of Defense post. He has met with Senator Joni Ernst, a key figure in his confirmation due to her combat experience and understanding of the military. Ernst's response post-meeting was cautiously optimistic, noting Hegseth's commitments to transparency and tackling sexual assault within the military. Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's pick for director of national intelligence, encountered criticism related to her relations with Russia and past meetings with Syrian officials. Her confirmation could redefine the intelligence community's dynamics amid fears of increased politicization. Both nominees face a tight race for confirmation, especially with a narrow Republican majority in the Senate. (With inputs from agencies.)

At least three killed in Netherlands apartment explosionCANBERRA, Australia -- Australia's government has withdrawn a bill that would give a media watchdog power to monitor digital platforms and require them to keep records about misinformation and disinformation on their networks. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said Sunday that the government was unable to drum up the support needed to pass the legislation. The opposition spokesman, David Coleman, said the bill “betrayed our democracy” and amounted to “censorship laws in Australia.” “Based on public statements and engagements with senators, it is clear that there is no pathway to legislate this proposal through the Senate,” Rowland said. The bill would have granted the Australian Communications and Media Authority power over digital platforms by approving an enforceable code of conduct or standards for social media companies if self-regulation fell short. "This bill would have had the effect of suppressing the free speech of everyday Australians, as platforms would have censored online content to avoid the threat of big fines,” Coleman said said in a statement.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s bullying tactics and dishonest botching of her commercial tax hike plan have backfired badly and the home rule petition is now in serious jeopardy. Wu’s administration deliberately withheld important information on the impact of the tax plan from city councilors and legislators, and the home rule petition is on hold in the state Senate while business leaders rethink their support. State Sen. Nick Collins and City Councilor Ed Flynn did the right thing in protecting commercial taxpayers, and in reaction Wu lobbed a weak bomb in the Boston Globe about Collins taking campaign money from developers. Wu also takes campaign donations from the same developers. You can’t conceal campaign contributions. Yes, Collins was an advocate for the business community and they supported him. So what? Instead Wu tries to smear him by planting a story about developer contributions, which Wu also accepts. Wu has lost a lot of credibility with taxpayers and business leaders on this botched deal, which is not insignificant. The deal went south because she wasn’t honest. It shows the arrogance of the mayor, who is known for pushing through her interests without much concern for the public process, smearing her opponents and then smiling while she lights the city Christmas tree. Her original deal with the business community to back the plan seemed like good politics at the time and a solid win for the first-term mayor. But now that it’s been revealed the impact on residential taxpayers won’t be as dire as Wu predicted, business leaders are revolting and thinking of withdrawing their support of the plan. How does the city’s assessing commissioner, Nicholas Arinello, who refused to divulge the annual tax spike for homeowners for next year in a hearing with the council, keep his job? Arinello should be canned immediately. The mayor, meanwhile, refuses to heed recommendations from her critics to cut the city’s $4.6 billion budget that grew 8% this fiscal year, and in fact keeps spending millions more on bike lanes, grants and climate initiatives. Commercial taxpayers dealing with a sagging real estate landscape are taking it on the chin already and would have the most to lose under Wu’s tax hike. Flynn was the only councilor to oppose the home rule petition on the initial vote, and was portrayed by Wu and critics as in the tank for business interests. Now Flynn and other Wu critics like Councilor Erin Murphy are looking good for demanding answers from the Wu administration before green-lighting the home rule petition. Flynn is calling for a new hearing based on the new information from the city. “I think city councilors might want to reevaluate their vote based on the new numbers we have, to do our due diligence and ask difficult questions of the city even when it’s politically incorrect,” Flynn said in an interview. It’s also a rare occasion when the Legislature is acting responsibly by slow-walking Wu’s plan and keeping it from getting broomed through. Murphy said Wu’s dishonesty “erodes trust in government” and noted that some city council members didn’t even show up for the hearing on the home rule petition. “There was definitely I believe (an attitude of) ‘let’s push this through’ before the numbers were actually shared,” she said.Woodford County people, places make news in 2024

Trump has pressed for voting changes. GOP majorities in Congress will try to make that happen ATLANTA (AP) — Republicans in Congress plan to move quickly in their effort to overhaul the nation’s voting procedures, seeing an opportunity with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress. They want to push through long-sought changes such as voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. They say the measures are needed to restore public confidence in elections. That's after an erosion of trust that Democrats note has been fueled by false claims from Donald Trump and his allies of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Democrats say they are willing to work with the GOP but want any changes to make it easier, not harder, to vote. Americans are exhausted by political news. TV ratings and a new AP-NORC poll show they're tuning out NEW YORK (AP) — A lot of Americans, after an intense presidential election campaign, are looking for a break in political news. That's evident in cable television news ratings and a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll found nearly two-thirds of Americans saying they've found the need recently to cut down on their consumption of political and government news. That's particularly true among Democrats following President-elect Donald Trump's victory, although a significant number of Republicans and independents feel the same way. Cable networks MSNBC and CNN are really seeing a slump. That's also happened in years past for networks that particularly appeal to supporters of one candidate. Israel strikes Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital while the WHO chief says he was meters away JERUSALEM (AP) — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital of Sanaa and multiple ports. The World Health Organization’s director-general said the bombardment on Thursday took place just “meters away” as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa. He says a crew member was hurt. The strikes followed several days of Houthi attacks and launches setting off sirens in Israel. Israel's military says it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa, power stations and ports. The Israeli military didn't immediate respond to questions about the WHO chief's statement. The US says it pushed retraction of a famine warning for north Gaza. Aid groups express concern. WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say they asked for — and got — the retraction of an independent monitor's warning of imminent famine in north Gaza. The internationally Famine Early Warning System Network issued the warning this week. The new report had warned that starvation deaths in north Gaza could reach famine levels as soon as next month. It cited what it called Israel's “near-total blockade” of food and water. The U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jacob Lew, criticized the finding as inaccurate and irresponsible. The U.S. Agency for International Development, which funds the famine-monitoring group, told the AP it had asked for and gotten the report's retraction. USAID officials tell The Associated Press that it had asked the group for greater review of discrepancies in some of the data. India's former prime minister Manmohan Singh, architect of economic reforms, dies aged 92 NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, widely regarded as the architect of India’s economic reform program and a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, has died. He was 92. The hospital said Singh was admitted to New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences late Thursday after his health deteriorated due to “sudden loss of consciousness at home.". He was “being treated for age-related medical conditions,” the statement added. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh became one of India’s longest-serving prime ministers for 10 years and earned a reputation as a man of great personal integrity. But his sterling image was tainted by allegations of corruption against his ministers. What is known about a plane crash in Kazakhstan that killed 38 of 67 people on board The crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan has killed 38 of 67 people on board. Azerbaijan Airlines’ Embraer 190 was en route from Azerbaijani capital Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus on Wednesday when it was diverted for reasons that aren’t fully clear yet. It crashed while making an attempt to land in Aktau in Kazakhstan after flying east across the Caspian Sea. Officials in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Russia haven't commented on a possible cause of the crash pending an official investigation. Some commentators pointed out holes in the plane's tail section pictured after the crash as a sign that it could have been fired upon by air defense systems. Ukraine's military intelligence says North Korean troops are suffering heavy battlefield losses KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's military intelligence says North Korean troops are suffering heavy losses in Russia's Kursk region and face logistical difficulties as a result of Ukrainian attacks. The intelligence agency said Thursday that Ukrainian strikes near Novoivanovka inflicted heavy casualties on North Korean units. Ukraine's president said earlier this week that 3,000 North Korean troops have been killed and wounded in the fighting in the Kursk region. It marked the first significant estimate by Ukraine of North Korean casualties several weeks after Kyiv announced that North Korea had sent 10,000 to 12,000 troops to Russia to help it in the almost 3-year war. How the stock market defied expectations again this year, by the numbers NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The benchmark index posted its first back-to-back annual gains of more than 20% since 1998. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged and “Roaring Kitty” reappeared to briefly reignite the meme stock craze. Holiday shoppers increased spending by 3.8% despite higher prices New data shows holiday sales rose this year even as Americans wrestled with still high prices in many grocery necessities and other financial worries. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, holiday sales from the beginning of November through Christmas Eve climbed 3.8%, a faster pace than the 3.1% increase from a year earlier. The measure tracks all kinds of payments including cash and debit cards. This year, retailers were even more under the gun to get shoppers in to buy early and in bulk since there were five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mastercard SpendingPulse says the last five days of the season accounted for 10% of the spending. Sales of clothing, electronics and Jewelry rose. Why this Mexican American woman played a vital role in the US sacramental peyote trade MIRANDO CITY, Texas (AP) — Amada Cardenas, a Mexican American woman who lived in the tiny border town of Mirando City in South Texas, played an important role in the history of the peyote trade. She and her husband were the first federally licensed peyote dealers who harvested and sold the sacramental plant to followers of the Native American Church in the 1930s. After her husband's death in 1967, Cardenas continued to welcome generations of Native American Church members to her home until her death in 2005, just before her 101st birthday.None
