(AP)  Hundreds of electronic devices aimed at adding speed and security at the voting polls in North Dakota will be distributed to the state’s 53 counties in the coming weeks.

The 990 poll books replace the paper process to check in voters that are used in most counties. North Dakota has no voter registration, but maintains a central voter file which is a database of who has voted.

The Bismarck Tribune says the state’s six or seven larger counties have been using the poll books already and by February every county will have them. Training sessions on new poll books begin next week for election officials.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Ten North Dakota communities will use part of a settlement with Volkswagen to build electric vehicle charging stations. The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality will send $2.7 million to the local governments and businesses for clean vehicle projects, including 17 charging stations statewide. The Bismarck Tribune says all but one are fast chargers which can charge vehicles in about 30 minutes. Just 187 electric vehicles are registered in the state, and North Dakota has no fast chargers. North Dakota was awarded about $8 million through the 2016 Volkswagen settlement between the federal government and the auto manufacturer, which admitted that it programmed some of its diesel vehicles to cheat on emissions tests.

 

GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota jury has convicted a man of fatally shooting his 36-year-old daughter during a family argument. KFGO-AM reported Monday that jurors convicted 66-year-old Steven Aune of manslaughter. A date for sentencing has not been set. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. Prosecutors had originally charged Aune with murder. But his defense attorneys argued the shooting on May 2019 was unintentional.

 

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Army Corps of Engineers is studying the possible construction of an $11.1 million network of weather stations to improve flood control across the Upper Missouri River Basin. The Billings Gazette reports stations are being upgraded for proof of concept in Bozeman and in Sheridan, Wyoming, and Brookings, South Dakota. After the systems and equipment demonstrate their capability, Corps officials propose installing 360 similar stations at a cost of more than $31,000 each. The details of the study are contained in a draft environmental assessment of updates to the three soil moisture and plains snowpack monitoring stations.

 

(AP)  A former intern for the Democratic-NPL Party in North Dakota has been named as its new executive director. The party’s Policy Committee voted unanimously for Michael Taylor. He worked as caucus director for the House and Senate Democratic-NPL caucuses during the 2019 legislative session and also was a legislative assistant to House Minority Leader Josh Boschee. The Bismarck Tribune says Taylor, a native of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, was an intern for the party in 2016 and was later hired as a field organizer and then operations director in 2017. His family has lived in Bismarck since 2015.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A new agreement between the state and Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation means bighorn sheep could be roaming the reservation in the next couple weeks. North Dakota Game and Fish director Terry Steinwand says 30 to 40 bighorns will be brought to North Dakota once they are captured on a Montana reservation. They’ll be released in the Mandaree and Twin Buttes areas. The Bismarck Tribune says the state-tribal agreement includes a provision for a ram hunting season. Williams says that will depend on how well the animals to in their new habitat.

NBA..

UNDATED (AP) —  Michael Porter Jr. posted his second double-double in three games with 20 points and 14 rebounds in the Nuggets’ 107-100 downing of the Timberwolves. Jerami Grant scored 19 points and Nikola Jokic (nee-KOH’-loh YOH’-kihch) added 17 with 13 rebounds to help Denver win without Jamal Murray, Paul Millsap and Gary Harris Jr. The Timberwolves dropped their sixth in a row despite Karl-Anthony Towns’ game-high 28 points.

The Boston Celtics did a nice job shaking their losing streak, but the Houston Rockets’ struggles continue.

The Celtics had dropped three in a row before Jayson Tatum delivered 27 points in just 29 minutes of a 139-107 thrashing of the Western Conference-leading Lakers. Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown each chipped in 20 points and Enes Kanter added 18 with 11 rebounds as Boston stayed a half-game behind the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors.

Walker had gone 0-28 in his career against LeBron James, second in NBA history only to Sherman Douglas’ 0-30 head-to-head record against Michael Jordan.

JaVale McGee had 18 points for Los Angeles, which lost for only the second time in 12 games. James finished with 15 points, 13 assists and six boards in the loss.

— Damian Lillard set a Trail Blazers record with 61 points, including a career-best 11 3-pointers to lead their 129-124 overtime victory against the Warriors. It was Lillard’s seventh career game with at least 50 points, and his 3-point total set a Portland record. Hassan Whiteside added 17 points and 21 rebounds as the Blazers snapped a two-game skid despite trailing by 12 in the third quarter.

— The Grizzlies’ seven-game winning streak is over after the Pelicans set a franchise record with 21 3-pointers in a 126-116 victory at Memphis. Jrue Holiday matched his season high with 36 points in his return after a five-game absence caused by a strained elbow. Brandon Ingram scored 25 points and Nicolo Melli added 15 for New Orleans.

 

The Rockets’ losing streak has reached a season-worst four games after they coughed up a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter of a 112-107 setback against the Thunder. Oklahoma City ripped off 13 straight points and outscored the Rockets, 41-20 in the final period.

Dennis Schroder (SHROO’-dur) delivered 17 of his 23 points after halftime to lead the Thunder to their 14th win in 19 games since falling to 11-14.

Oklahoma City’s Chris Paul scored 27 of his 28 points in the first half against his former team, while Danilo Gallinari finished with 25.

Rockets guard James Harden had 29 points but was a miserable 1-for-17 from 3-point range. Former Thunder guard Russell Westbrook had 32 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds for Houston.

Checking out the other completed NBA action on Martin Luther King Jr. Day:

— Giannis Antetokounmpo (YAH’-nihs an-teh-toh-KOON’-poh) registered a triple-double of 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in just 31 minutes of the Bucks’ seventh straight win, 111-98 against the Bulls. Khris Middleton contributed 24 points as the Bucks improved to a league-best 39-6 at home, including 21-2 at home.

— Kendrick Nunn provided 25 points and James Johnson added 22 on 9-for-11 shooting as the Heat outlasted the Kings, 118-113 in overtime. Goran Dragic (DRAH’-gihch) scored 18 as the Heat improved their league-best home record to 19-1. Bam Adebayo (ad-ah-BAY’-oh) finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds for Miami, which is 7-0 in OT.

— Norman Powell furnished 17 of his 27 points in the final period as the Raptors hung on to beat the Hawks, 122-117. Fred VanVleet had 20 points, including three free throws with 14.2 left after Toronto blew most of a 21-point lead. Trae Young had 42 points and 15 assists for Atlanta, which pulled within 117-115.

 

— Ben Simmons tied a career high with 34 points and chipped in 12 rebounds and 12 assists to guide the 76ers past the Nets, 117-111. Simmons shot 12 for 14 from the field in his career-best fifth straight game with 20 or more points and fourth triple-double of the season. Al Horford added 19 points for the 76ers, who won their fourth consecutive game.

— Utah won for the 17th time in 19 games as Donovan Mitchell scored 25 points in a 118-88 blowout over the Pacers. Rudy Gobert had 20 points and 14 rebounds to help the Jazz beat Indiana for the first time in four tries. Utah shot 54% from the field, scored 60 points in the paint and finished with a 53-30 advantage in rebounds.

 

— The Spurs wasted a 20-point, second-half lead before Bryn Forbes nailed a go-ahead, 3-pointer with 2:33 left in a 120-118 triumph over the Suns. Forbes scored all 24 of his points on eight 3-pointers and Derrick White scored a season-high 25 points for San Antonio. Devin Booker poured in a game-high 37 points but missed a long 3 with about two seconds left that would have won it.

— Evan Fournier scored 26 points and the Magic finished 3-3 on their six-game road trip by slamming the Hornets, 106-83. Nikola Vucevic (nee-KOH’-lah VOO’-seh-vihch) had 24 points and 10 rebounds for Orlando, which shot 14 of 28 from 3-point range. Malik Monk scored 20 points and P.J. Washington had 19 in Charlotte’s seventh consecutive loss.

— The Wizards ended a three-game skid as Bradley Beal scored 29 points and Ian Mahinmi added 21 in their 106-100 decision over the Pistons. There were 10 lead changes before Washington scored nine straight to take a 95-87 lead with 7:06 remaining. Andre Drummond’s 18 points and 16 rebounds didn’t stop Detroit from losing in Washington for the 10th straight time.

— The Knicks picked up a 106-86 win at Cleveland as Marcus Morris Sr. and Julius Randle each scored 19 points. New York trailed by one before outscoring Cleveland, 30-14 in the third quarter. The Knicks won for just the second time in 10 games and dealt the Cavaliers their fifth consecutive loss.

NBA-HAWKS-PARSONS INJURIES

Parsons’ attorneys say his injuries could threaten his career

ATLANTA (AP) — Chandler Parsons’ attorneys say the Atlanta Hawks’ forward suffered career-threatening injuries in a car wreck last week.

The attorneys say the injuries suffered in Wednesday’s accident include a traumatic brain injury, disc herniation and a torn labrum.

Parsons was leaving practice when hit by a driver the attorneys say was charged with driving under the influence.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL-POLL

Baylor takes top spot

UNDATED (AP) — Baylor has become the seventh team to sit atop The Associated Press men’s basketball poll since November, already matching a single-season record for the most No. 1 teams since the ranking began in the 1948-49 season.

The Bears picked up 33 of 65 first-place votes to climb over No. 2 Gonzaga, which came away with 31 first-place votes. The two teams are separated by just three points.

Kansas, unbeaten San Diego State and Florida State round out the top five. They replace Duke, Auburn and Butler, each of which lost twice last week.

Sixth-ranked Louisville is followed by Dayton, the Blue Devils, Villanova and Seton Hall. The Cardinals, Flyers, Wildcats and Pirates all climbed at least five spots, with Seton Hall moving up eight notches.

T25 MEN’S BASKETBALL

Baylor gets past Oklahoma

UNDATED (AP) — Top-ranked Baylor eked out a victory in its first game since becoming the top team in The Associated Press men’s basketball poll.

The Bears improved to 16-1 and ran their winning streak to 15 games by holding off Oklahoma, 61-57. Baylor came away with the victory after Austin Reaves missed a potential go-ahead 3-pointer with 6 seconds left.

MaCio Teague had 16 points for the Bears, who are off to their first 6-0 start in conference play since opening their 1948 Southwest Conference slate with 10 straight wins.

In Monday’s other top-25 game:

— No. 14 West Virginia bounced back from Saturday’s lopsided loss at Kansas State by reeling off a 20-0 run that gave the Mountaineers a 43-15 lead in a 97-59 trouncing of Texas. Oscar Tshiebwe (SHEEB’-way) had 13 points and 11 rebounds in the rout, while Derek Culver added 13 points. Jase Febres (jays FEH’-brehs) had a game-high 18 points for the Longhorns, who were held to 36% shooting for the game.

NHL..

UNDATED (AP) — The Panthers earned their fifth win in a row by downing the Wild, 5-4 on Noel Acciari’s (ah-CHAH’-reez) goal with 5.6 seconds left in the third period. Keith Yandle had a goal and three assists in Florida’s first regulation win ever at Minnesota in 12 attempts. Aleksander Barkov added a goal and an assist to back Sergei Bobrovsky (boh-BRAHF’-skee), who stopped 29 shots in winning his second straight start since missing two games with a lower-body injury.

 

The Colorado Avalanche have reeled off three straight wins since a four-game skid dropped them farther behind the St. Louis Blues in the NHL’s Central Division race.

Nazem Kadri (NA’-zehm KA’-dree) and Nathan MacKinnon scored 1:54 apart early in the second period to put the Avs ahead to stay in a 6-3 win against the struggling Red Wings. Kadri tied it with a power-play goal 62 seconds into the period.

Kadri and MacKinnon also tallied in Colorado’s four-goal third period. MacKinnon heads into the All-Star break with 30 goals.

The Avalanche went 3-0-2 on their five-game homestand and are six points behind the division-leading Blues.

The Red Wings dropped their fifth in a row to fall to 5-22-3 in their last 30 games.

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Day 2 at Melbourne

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — John McEnroe told Nick Kyrgios he was proud of him and promised to donate $1,000 to the bush fire recovery effort for every set the Aussie player wins at the Australian Open.

Kyrgios beat Lorenzo Sonego 6-2, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (1) in his first-round match at Melbourne Arena, which was delayed for a couple of minutes in the second set when the lights went out.

— Garbiñe Muguruza is a two-time Grand Slam title winner but she sure looked on the way to a third consecutive first-round exit at a major when she dropped the opening set at love against American qualifier Shelby Rogers at the Australian Open. And then Muguruza turned everything around in remarkable fashion, grabbing 12 of the last 13 games to beat Rogers 0-6, 6-1, 6-0.

— Cici Bellis has won a Grand Slam match for the first time in nearly three years after having a series of operations. The 20-year-old Californian, once ranked as high as 35th, moved into the second round of the Australian Open by beating Tatjana Maria of Germany 6-0, 6-2.

— Two-time major winner Simona Halep took a tumble and then saved three set points in the first set before recovering to fend off Jennifer Brady 7-6 (5), 6-1 in the first round. Halep has had four first-round exits at Melbourne Park, but not since she reached the final here in 2018 — having saved match points in third round and the semifinals.

— A back injury has forced 2008 Australian Open runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to retire from his first-round match against Alexei Popyrin after falling behind two sets to one. The 34-year-old Frenchman won the first set in a tiebreaker before losing the next two sets 6-2, 6-1, calling for a trainer and then notifying the chair umpire that he could not continue.

— Rafael Nadal had a 6-2, 6-3, 6-0 win over Hugo Dellien in his first competitive match back on Rod Laver Arena since losing the Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic last year. The top-ranked Nadal is chasing his 20th major singles title, aiming to equal Roger Federer’s men’s record. He’s also aiming to complete a collection by winning each of the four Grand Slam titles at least twice. He won the Australian title in 2009 and has lost four finals since then at Melbourne Park.

— Former No. 1-ranked Maria Sharapova’s run of first-round exits at the majors continued with a 6-3, 6-4 loss to 19th-seeded Donna Vekic at the Australian Open. Sharapova, a five-time Grand Slam title winner, was given a wild card for the main draw at Melbourne Park after her year-end ranking slipped to 136 in 2019 after a season interrupted by injuries.

— Second-seeded Karolina Pliskova clinched a 6-1, 7-5 win with a late service break against Kristina Mladenovic in the opening match on at Rod Laver Arena on Day 2 of the Australian Open. Pliskova lost to eventual champion Naomi Osaka in the semifinals in Melbourne last year.

— Former semifinalist Johanna Konta is out of the Australian Open after losing her first-round match to Ons Jabeur 6-4, 6-2.

MLB-BRAVES-HERNANDEZ

Braves ink King Felix

UNDATED (AP) — Felix Hernandez has been given a chance to continue his major league career.

The Atlanta Braves have signed the six All-Star selection and the 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner to a minor league contract with an invitation to big league camp. Hernandez is coming off his worst major league season, going 1-8 with a 6.40 ERA in 15 starts for the Mariners.

The right-hander would get a $1 million, one-year contract if added to Atlanta’s 40-man roster.

LPGA TOUR

Gaby Lopez wins LPGA tournament in Florida in 7-hole playoff

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Gaby Lopez sank a 30-foot birdie on the seventh playoff hole to outlast Nasa Hataoka and win the LPGA’s Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions in Florida.

It’s the second LPGA win for Lopez as she and Hataoka tied the fourth-longest playoff in tournament history. They played five extra holes on Sunday before the playoff was suspended by darkness.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial is set to unfold at the Capitol in a contentious proceeding to render judgment on his actions. On the eve of the trial, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell proposed a condensed, two-day calendar for each side’s opening arguments. The rules package will be one of the first orders of business when senators convene about midday Tuesday. Trump’s lawyers are seeking swift acquittal. But Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer call’s McConnell’s plan “a national disgrace.” When the trial begins in earnest, Trump will be attending a global leaders conference in Davos, Switzerland.

 

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran has acknowledged that its armed forces fired two Russian anti-aircraft missiles at a Ukrainian jetliner that crashed after taking off from Tehran’s main airport earlier this month, killing all 176 people on board. However, a new preliminary report by Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization publicized on Tuesday stopped short of blaming the TOR-M1 for the crash of the Boeing 737-800 flown by Ukraine International Airways. For days after the Jan. 8 shootdown, Iran denied that it fired missiles at the plane, initially blaming a technical malfunction and engine fire for the crash.

 

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz has slammed U.S. President Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum for misrepresenting the economy and for failing to tackle climate issues. In his speech, Trump rattled off a long list of achievements by his administration since it came to office three years ago. Stiglitz said that “the characterization of the economy is totally wrong.” Trump’s speech was met with polite silence from the crowd, unlike his last address in Davos in 2018, when he was met with occasional boos and laughter. Stiglitz on Tuesday also voiced his frustration at Trump’s failure to address head on the climate emergency.

 

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — For the second time this month, predawn explosions minutes apart have rocked Stockholm. The two blasts damaged buildings and slightly injured one person. Explosives were used but authorities have ruled out terrorism. Fifty people were evacuated following the blasts at housing complexes on the Swedish capital’s northwestern outskirts. The explosions damaged balconies, windows, doors and the insides of some apartments. They took place 500 meters (yards) apart. Sweden has in recent years seen explosions and shootings linked to feuding gangs.

 

Moscow (AP) — Russian emergency officials say 11 people were killed and two more injured in a fire at a sawmill in a Siberian village. One person remains unaccounted-for. Most of the victims were from Uzbekistan. The fire, most likely sparked by a malfunctioning electric heater, broke out Tuesday morning in a single-story wooden building, rented by an unnamed Chinese company and used as a dormitory for the sawmill workers. Russian police have opened a criminal probe. Uzbek officials are working to identify their nationals and arrange the return of the bodies.
