Donovan Mitchell is currently sitting at the top of this season’s scoring list after he dropped 71 points in the Cavaliers’ first game of the new year. He became the seventh player in league history to join the 70-point club and led Cleveland to a 145-134 overtime victory against Chicago.

On the one-year anniversary of the law’s passage, a coalition of farmer’s unions, known as the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, or United Farmers’ Front, renewed demonstrations. Protesters gathered on highways, causing traffic jams and cutting off access from the capital to neighboring states. The Indian government said the legislation will boost production through private investment, but farmers claim the law will end guaranteed pricing and force them to sell their crops to corporations at lower prices....

Ever since the Interstate Highway program was established in 1956, federal transportation policy has meant pouring concrete. Uncle Sam picks up 90 percent of the cost of building and widening interstates and 75 percent of the tab for constructing other main roads. That makes for plenty of ribbons to cut, but those new highways seem to be clogged from the day they open. And why bother with maintenance? “It was much more inviting to build a new road with 90 percent federal money and 10 percent state money than to maintain it with 100 percent state money,” says Carl Williams, assistant director of California’s Department of Transportation....

In 2004, at Giuliani’s recommendation, President George W. Bush nominated Kerik for Homeland Security secretary. The nomination was quickly withdrawn after reports linked Kerik to multiple alleged scandals. A spokesperson for Giuliani told NEWSWEEK: “The mayor has said repeatedly it was a mistake to recommend Mr. Kerik [for Homeland Security secretary]. He cooperated fully with the grand jury.” Kerik pleaded guilty last July to minor corruption charges.

Pay attention to those business stories. For all the hand-wringing about disarmament and the fate of their elected Assembly, which was temporarily suspended last weekend, the people of Northern Ireland have mostly moved beyond the Troubles that consumed them for nearly three decades. There is enough tension and hatred to bring back the worst of times if enough things go wrong. Yet even Ulster’s pessimists don’t expect that to happen....

This is why the next few weeks will be the supreme test of the Good Friday Agreement and the political skills of all those involved. At stake is the survival of Northern Ireland’s First Minister David Trimble, and the survival of the agreement itself. Devolution Day–March 10–is rapidly approaching, technically the date when full powers are due to be devolved to the institutions set up by the agreement–the North-South Ministerial Council, cross-border bodies and the new Executive that will form the government of Northern Ireland....

Youngkin hasn’t yet campaigned with Trump and didn’t attend a “Take Back Virginia” rally on Wednesday, at which the former president phoned in to support him in the governor’s race. Recent polling from Fox News might provide an insight into why Youngkin has appeared reluctant to embrace Trump more fully amid a tight race with Democrat Terry McAuliffe. Fox News found that Trump’s numbers are not good in Virginia, with 53 percent of likely voters having an unfavorable view of him....

Torres suffered a “core issue” during the Yankees’ 7-4 win over the Red Sox. Aaron Boone confirmed Torres went to a hospital to undergo further testing. He did not have an immediate update on the infielder’s condition, but simply said: “We’ll know soon enough.” Torres appeared to have injured himself early in Sunday’s game and was seen running at half speed at one point. He was later taken out of the game....

Climate change as a result of burning fossil fuels, deforestation and pollution has caused an intensification of weather and hydrological extremes, which will continue to worsen. Weather records around the world are being broken almost annually. The U.K. saw its hottest ever summer this year, Pakistan is experiencing some of the worst flooding in its history, and China’s Yangtze River is so dry from drought that the government is preparing to cloud-seed to make it rain....

There are roughly 6 billion people on the planet; in 2004, perhaps 2.5 billion survived on $2 a day or less, says the World Bank. By 2050, the world may have 3 billion more people; many will be similarly impoverished. What’s baffling and frustrating about extreme poverty is that much of the world has eliminated it. In 1800, almost everyone was desperately poor. But the developed world has essentially abolished starvation, homelessness and material deprivation....

For instance, you might say, “Go get em!” before a friend takes a test or competes in a soccer game. You may also see the phrase spelled “go get ’em. " Don’t worry—it means the same thing. For instance, if you’re writing a card for a colleague who’s changing jobs, you could use “go get em. " This can make your card stand out from all the ones that simply say, “good luck....

KAREN CASALESE, KENTUCKY A. No good deed goes unpunished. Because you did the right thing, Allstate finds you unfit to insure. Yours is a classic case of how easily credit data can be misapplied. Allstate’s list of proven high risks includes “customers who have certain types of entries on their credit reports. . .” You have no bad entries; your credit is clean. But Allstate can check everyone who lives there, as if bankruptcy were an infectious disease....

2016 was a forgettable season for the Crocodiles. Despite the appointment of the AFF Cup-winning former Malaysia head coach Datuk Rajagobal Krishnasamy to helm the side and the signing of several young Malaysian players at the start of the season, their fortunes did not improve. Rajagobal was then replaced by Sarawak-native David Usop halfway through the season, and the East Malaysian side only escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth....

“We probably could have put them away with a second that would have killed the game for them,” Leckie told FFA TV. “But credit to Iraq - they obviously pushed men forward and took a lot of risks to try to chase the game. “They fought to the end and scored the goal that was probably deserved for the amount of pressure they put on. “A fair result was a draw....

Having moved from North Carolina to hockey-mad Wisconsin at age 12, he found himself regularly embarking on six-hour round trips from his hometown of Marshfield to Milwaukee in search of quality training. Hoping to return to the Carolinas for college soccer, Finlay never got any letters from ACC schools. The Big Ten didn’t come calling either. So he embraced an opportunity at Creighton, scoring 43 goals in four years and earning a slot on the Hermann Trophy shortlist in 2011....
