BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A federal judge has sentenced a Mandan woman convicted of child neglect to supervised release after she pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy charge. Prosecutors say 28-year-old Hope Althoff neglected her children while using drugs and took part in a drug trafficking scheme. Federal charges of money laundering conspiracy and illegal use of communication facilities were dismissed. U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor on Tuesday sentenced Althoff to the time she had already served, more than 300 days, and ordered her to spend three years on supervised release. In August 2019, Althoff pleaded guilty to state charges of felony child neglect and misdemeanor animal neglect. She was sentenced to two years of probation.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota Supreme Court has denied the appeal of a man serving life in prison for kidnapping and killing another man in Burleigh County in 2012. John Clark Bridges argued in his appeal that mental illness prevented him from understanding the charges against him, aiding in his defense or filing a timely application for relief. The justices ruled in part that Bridges had not presented evidence establishing that he suffers from a mental illness. Bridges is serving a life sentence for the July 2012 murder of Lee Clay, along with 20 years for kidnapping Clay plus an additional 40 years for stabbing a correctional officer at the North Dakota State Penitentiary.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Timberwolves were finally at full strength as they knocked off the Thunder, 99-90. Karl-Anthony Towns had 17 points and 16 rebounds, while D\u2019Angelo Russell struggled on 3-of-12 shooting in their return to Minnesota\u2019s lineup.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Luka Doncic scored 26 points and the Mavericks celebrated before a ceremony to retire Dirk Nowitzki\u2019s number by beating cold-shooting Stephen Curry and the Warriors, 99-82. Curry was just 5 of 24 from the field including 1 of 9 from 3-point range in scoring 14 points.<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Kyrie Irving made his season debut on Wednesday and had a huge impact in the Brooklyn Nets\u2019 129-121 win at Indiana.<\/p>\n

Irving scored 22 points and sparked Brooklyn to a big rally in the second half. He played 32 minutes and helped the Nets storm back from a 19-point deficit.<\/p>\n

Irving was back after missing the Nets\u2019 first 35 games of the season for declining to be vaccinated for the coronavirus. He is prohibited from playing home games and Brooklyn didn\u2019t want to use him as a part-timer until a COVID-19 outbreak affected most of their regulars.<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant poured in 39 points and James Harden had 19 as the Nets ended a three-game skid. Durant also had eight rebounds and seven assists.<\/p>\n

The Pacers lost despite Domantas Sabonis, who had a triple-double of 32 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Lance Stephenson scored 20 of his 30 points in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The 76ers notched their NBA-best 14th road victory of the season and tied a season high with a fifth straight win overall, 116-106 versus the Magic. Joel Embiid dropped in 31 points, Tobias Harris contributed 22 and Seth Curry added 20 with a season-high 12 assists and seven rebounds.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Gregg Popovich became the first to coach 2,000 NBA games with the same team as he watched Dejounte Murray provide 22 points in a 99-97 victory at Boston. Devin Vassell and Derrick White each had 17 points in San Antonio\u2019s first win in five games.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Max Strus had 25 points and the Heat snapped a two-game losing streak with a 115-109 victory at Portland. Tyler Herro (HEE’-roh) finished with 16 points off the bench for Miami, which was tied at 90 before going on a 15-2 run.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Kelly Oubre Jr. hit a career-high nine of the Hornets\u2019 franchise-record 24 3-pointers in a 140-111 dismantling of the Pistons. Gordon Hayward and Miles Bridges each had 19 points to help Charlotte beat Detroit for the 14th straight time.<\/p>\n

Lillard sidelined…Zion rehabbing away from team<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Portland guard Damian Lillard will miss the next three games because of a lower abdominal tendinopathy. The Trail Blazers say Lillard will undergo further evaluation and consultation concerning the injury, which has bothered him since the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n

And the Pelicans have agreed to allow forward Zion Williamson to continue his rehabilitation from a broken foot away from team headquarters. Williamson averaged a team-high 27 points and was an All-Star last season. He was trying to return to practice in mid-December when imaging of his foot revealed a setback.<\/p>\n

NFL-NEWS<\/p>\n

\u2014 Jimmy Garoppolo has resumed throwing for the 49ers and took part in practice in a limited role, saying his sprained right thumb still hurts. Garoppolo tore a ligament in the thumb on Dec. 23 and was held out of practice last week. The Niners don\u2019t know whether he or rookie Trey Lance will start. San Francisco makes the playoffs with a win.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Kirk Cousins has returned to the Vikings from COVID-19 reserve. He missed the previous game while experiencing mild symptoms. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer plans to play Cousins and all of the other regulars who are healthy enough.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Bears coach Matt Nagy insists he has not been informed by his bosses that the season finale at Minnesota will be his last game leading the team. Nagy could be on his way out after four seasons with the Bears owning a 6-10 record heading into Sunday\u2019s game. Nagy expects rookie quarterback Justin Fields to start against the Vikings after missing the past two games because of an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Tennessee Titans have made the easy move opening the 21-day window for Derrick Henry to practice with the team. The next decision and the timing is much more challenging. Taking the 2020 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year off injured reserve by Sunday means he could help beat Houston and clinch the AFC\u2019s No. 1 seed.<\/p>\n

Waiting means hoping the Titans earn the first-round bye without Henry giving him more time from Oct. 31 when he broke his right foot.<\/p>\n

Henry was the NFL\u2019s leading rusher with 937 yards when he was put on injured reserve. He still ranks sixth in the league despite missing eight games.<\/p>\n

In other NFL news:<\/p>\n

\u2014 Wide receiver Antonio Brown says he was cut by the Buccaneers after refusing to play through an ankle injury that sidelined him for several weeks this season. Brown took off his jersey, shoulder pads and undershirt before walking off the sideline during a game Sunday against the New York Jets. He said in a statement released by his attorney that he was pressured to play and coach Bruce Arians fired him when the player told the coach he was not able to re-enter the game because of his ankle.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Bengals won\u2019t play quarterback Joe Burrow this week to make sure he is healthy for the first round of the playoffs. Burrow is nursing aches and pains, including his right knee and sore pinky finger but said he could have played Sunday at Cleveland had it been necessary. Running back Joe Mixon and other key starters went on the reserve\/COVID-19 list this week but are eligible to test out after five days if they are asymptomatic.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Mixon and Dallas star rookie linebacker Micah Parsons are the latest big-name players added to the COVID-19 reserve list. If he can\u2019t play Sunday against Philadelphia, Parsons will finish the season with 13 sacks, 1 1\/2 behind the rookie record set by Tennessee\u2019s Jevon Kearse in 1999. Mixon joins Bengals sacks leader Trey Hendrickson and a handful of other key players for Cincinnati on the COVID-19 list headed into Sunday\u2019s finale against Cleveland.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The NFL has looked into other potential sites for next month\u2019s Super Bowl amid a rise in COVID-19 cases, though the league always develops contingency plans for the game. An NFL spokesperson says the league still plans to play Super Bowl 56 as scheduled in Los Angeles on Feb. 13 but adds the NFL has contacted several clubs to inquire about stadium availability in the event the Super Bowl can\u2019t be played as scheduled. The Cowboys\u2019 stadium reportedly is one of the facilities contacted.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The league has issued a warning to teams that they could lose a draft pick and face significant fines if club representatives conduct themselves unprofessionally in interviews with draft prospects. The league said a team would forfeit a draft pick between the first and fourth round and be fined a minimum of $150,000 if it\u2019s determined a club representative displayed conduct that is \u201cdisrespectful, inappropriate, or unprofessional\u201d during an interview. Fines and\/or suspensions of individual club employees also could be imposed.<\/p>\n

IOC assures teams Winter Olympics in Beijing will go ahead<\/p>\n

GENEVA (AP) \u2014 The International Olympic Committee has promised Olympic teams worldwide that the Winter Games in Beijing will go ahead as planned next month.<\/p>\n

Beijing organizers and the IOC are creating a health safety bubble for the Olympics with stricter testing and limits on travel and movement than were enforced at last year\u2019s Tokyo Games. The rules include a 21-day quarantine for athletes, officials and workers not fully vaccinated, daily testing even for vaccinated people and also keeping local staff within the bubble. International fans are again being kept away though tickets to attend events in stadiums will be sold to people living in China.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden and members of Congress are solemnly marking the first anniversary of the U.S. Capitol insurrection. Lawmakers are holding events Thursday to reflect on the violent attack by supporters of President Donald Trump last Jan. 6. The ceremonies will be widely attended by Democrats, but almost every Republican on Capitol Hill will be absent. It’s a stark reminder of the rupture between the parties, worsening since hundreds of Trump\u2019s supporters violently pushed past police, broke through the Capitol’s windows and interrupted the certification of Biden\u2019s victory. Biden plans to say that \u201cat this moment we must decide what kind of nation we are going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

MOSCOW (AP) \u2014 Authorities say dozens of protesters and 12 police have died during extraordinarily violent demonstrations in Kazakhstan that saw government buildings stormed and set ablaze. One police officer was found beheaded in escalating unrest that poses a growing challenge to authoritarian rule in the Central Asian nation. After breaking into the presidential residence and the mayor\u2019s office in the country\u2019s largest city Wednesday, demonstrators continued to try to storm more buildings overnight. While the president initially seemed to try to mollify the protesters, he later promised harsh measures and called in forces from a Russia-led military alliance for help. The airports in Almaty and two other cities have been shut, and internet service was severely interrupted Thursday.<\/p>\n

CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Chicago school leaders canceled classes in the nation\u2019s third-largest school district for the second straight day after failing to reach an agreement with the teachers union over remote learning and other COVID-19 safety protocols. The Chicago Teachers Union sought to revert to remote instruction during the latest surge of infections and while both sides hammer out a deal. But leaders in the nation\u2019s third-largest school district say remote learning didn\u2019t work and schools can safely remain open with protocols in place. Classes were canceled for Thursday, affecting roughly 350,000 students. Schools CEO Pedro Martinez says students may be able to start returning to schools on Friday for services like tutoring or counseling depending on how many staff members show up.<\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 California extended its indoor mask mandate into mid-February to help prevent the astonishing spike in coronavirus cases from overwhelming hospitals. But the state\u2019s health director said Wednesday that additional restrictions are not being considered. California\u2019s confirmed cases have shot up nearly 500% in the last two weeks and hospitalizations have doubled since Christmas to more than 8,000. State models forecast hospitalizations could top 20,000 by early next month, a level nearly as high as last January, when California experienced its deadliest surge. The fast-spreading omicron variant of COVID-19 is sidelining exposed or infected health care workers, leading to staffing shortages.<\/p>\n

BEIJING (AP) \u2014 Global stocks and Wall Street futures have tumbled after investors saw minutes from a Federal Reserve meeting as a sign the U.S. central bank might hike interest rates faster to cool inflation. Benchmarks in London and Frankfurt opened down more than 1%. Tokyo lost nearly 3%. Notes from the Fed meeting last month showed policymakers believe the U.S. job market is nearly healthy enough that ultra-low rates are no longer needed. Traders took that as a sign the Fed might be more aggressive about rolling back stimulus that is boosting stock prices. On Wall Street, the future for the benchmark S&P 500 index was off 0.3% and that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.2%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
