90 jilibet BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Cam Carter hit five 3-pointers and finished with 23 points, Vyctorius Miller added 20 points and LSU never trailed Sunday night in a 110-45 win over Mississippi Valley State, the Tigers' 21st consecutive victory when scoring at least 100 points. LSU's 65-point margin of victory was its largest since the Tigers beat Grambling by 75 (112-37) on Nov. 20, 1999 and is the third biggest against a Division-I opponent in program history. The 110 points were the most by LSU since a 119-108 win over North Florida on Dec. 12, 2015. Carter scored 11 points — including three 3-pointers — in the first six minutes to make it 18-6 and LSU led by double figures the rest of the way. The Delta Devils went 0 for 6 from the field and committed five turnovers as LSU scored 17 consecutive points to take a 28-point lead with 7:44 left in the first half and led 55-13 at halftime. The Tigers allowed the seventh-fewest points in a half by an opponent in program history. Mississippi Valley State (2-11) is averaging 46.2 points and is winless with a scoring margin of minus-44.2 in 11 games against Division-I opponents this season. LSU (11-2) has won three games in a row since a 74-64 loss to SMU at the Compete 4 Cause Classic in Frisco, Texas, on Dec. 14. Jordan Spears and Daimion Collins added 15 points apiece for the Tigers, who shot 66% (46 of 70) from the field and made 12 3s. Alvin Stredic led Mississippi Valley State with eight points. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

AP News Summary at 2:04 p.m. EST

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., Dec. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SigmaTron International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGMA), an electronic manufacturing services company (the “Company”), today reported revenues and earnings for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024. For the three month period ended October 31, 2024, revenues decreased $24 million, or 24 percent, to $74.7 million compared to $98.7 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Net income/(loss) for the three month period ended October 31, 2024 was a loss of $9.5 million compared to break even for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $3.3 million of expenses were recorded during the second quarter related to debt modification, expensing of deferred financing costs and lender warrants after remeasurement. Basic and diluted income/(loss) per share for the three month period ended October 31, 2024 was a loss of $1.55, compared to $0.00 income per share for the same period in the prior year. For the six month period ended October 31, 2024, revenues decreased $37.3 million, or 19 percent, to $159.5 million, compared to $196.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Net income/(loss) for the six month period ended October 31, 2024, was a net loss of $12.8 million, compared to net income of $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $3.3 million of expenses were recorded during the second quarter related to debt modification, expensing of deferred financing costs and lender warrants after remeasurement. Basic and diluted income/(loss) per share for the six month period ended October 31, 2024 was a loss of $2.08, compared to $0.05 income per share for the same period in the prior year. Commenting on SigmaTron International Inc.’s second quarter fiscal 2025 results, Gary R. Fairhead, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, said “Unfortunately the softness we’ve seen in our revenue stream has continued during the second quarter. Sequentially, our first quarter for fiscal 2025 revenue was $84.8 million and for the second quarter, our revenue was $74.7 million. We currently expect the depressed revenue levels to continue for our third fiscal quarter, in part because of the holidays in December for North America and at the end of January in Asia. As you would expect, this level of revenue resulted in another loss for the second quarter, which included a non-cash charge for deferred financing and warrant expenses that totaled approximately $3.3 million. On a positive note, the Company reported an operating profit in October, demonstrating that our restructuring efforts are now showing a significant impact. We continue to right-size our Company offering significant upside for the operations. The softness we continue to encounter was tied to the general economy and exacerbated by the supply chain volatility in the electronic component marketplace, with customers having overordered in the recent past because of the uncertainty related to acquiring certain components for the electronic assemblies. We believe that the excess inventory that was the result of this behavior has in large part been consumed, which should lead to overall demand increasing in 2025. “In the short term, we continue to see soft revenue in terms of our backlog. However, most of our customers are starting to indicate that they view calendar 2025 as a stronger and growing economy and expect the current trend to have bottomed out. We have seen this with several customers where some modest orders have been pulled in and there has been increased activity with new opportunities. It will still take a while to get to where we want to be but at least the current trend appears to be positive after the third quarter. In addition to right-sizing the Company, we have continued to remain focused on reducing inventory further. We made modest progress in that area in the second quarter, but we fully expect to see significant gains in our reduction efforts during the third quarter. “In our first quarter press release, I also mentioned that we were focused on activities to de-lever our balance sheet. I’m pleased to announce that on December 13, 2024, SigmaTron entered into a sale/leaseback of our Elk Grove Village property. We have signed a three-year lease with two one-year options on the property. From an accounting perspective, not only have we reduced our bank debt, but we will have a one-time capital gain of approximately $7 million to report in our third quarter results. We continue to look at other options for the Company strategically, with the assistance of Lincoln International. We continue to enjoy good relationships with our customers and supply chain and expect that to continue as we continue to go through the process.” About SigmaTron International, Inc.

It is the picture of the week. Nigel Farage’s Reform Party now have more members than the Tories and projected the figure onto Conservative Party HQ. That magic number - 131,680 - will haunt Kemi Badenoch this Christmas. A gleeful Farage has declared himself the official Leader of the Opposition and says No10 is next. There is no doubt Reform are the insurgents on the rise. And I think Nigel Farage can become Prime Minister. But I think it will take Nigel and the Reform Party two - or maybe even three elections - before they can get to Downing Street. Just a couple of weeks ago, Reform were causing quite a stir with another photo. Nigel Farage and Reform’s new Treasurer Nick Candy were snapped with Elon Musk at Donald Trump’s effective headquarters at Mar-A- Lago, Florida. The meeting took place as speculation swirls that Musk may be about to donate a multi-million-pound sum to what he sees as the British answer to MAGA: Reform UK. Most read in Politics Such a donation would have a big impact. Reform put in a respectable showing at the General Election, pulling in 14% of the vote. But it lacks a ground game. That crucial component in politics – printing leaflets, knocking doors, collecting data – needs hard cash, especially if the party wants to get on the same footing as the Tories and Labour. Musk already helped one insurgent win this year. His resource, in the shape of $200 million, bolstered Trump’s operation and sponsored ads, digital content, and people knocking on doors around the country. There are lessons any UK campaign can learn from their techniques. Donald Trump – who Elon Musk is rarely spotted far from these days – is minded to help out Nigel Farage. He frequently praises Farage at speeches. Trump World likes him too. I attended two Trump rallies this year; each time he was mobbed by activists and generated genuine buzz in the room. That’s no mean feat for a Brit. But can even Musk’s millions propel Farage to 10 Downing Street? There is no doubt that Reform is in a strong position. Since the election they have crept up in the polls to at or over 20%. In 89 seats – like Angela Rayner’s constituency - Reform is second place to Labour; in 9 other seats – like the former Tory stronghold of Brentwood and Ongar - they are second to the Conservatives. Farage faces the best of both worlds: a deeply unpopular incumbent government and an Opposition party that voters have lost trust in. Voters are also desperate for a plain speaker who says it how it is, even if they do not agree on every issue. That might go some way to explaining why Farage is now the most popular politician in Britain. Reform are arguably in the best position for a third-party force in British politics in decades. That is why I do believe it is possible Nigel Farage can become Prime Minister. But given the way our political system works, it is going to take two - or maybe even three elections - to get there, even with Musk’s cash. The reason why it is so difficult for Reform to make it into the government is the same reason that the Conservatives struggle to win with Reform doing well. It is hard to foresee Kemi Badenoch’s party winning a majority – just as it was for Rishi Sunak – with Reform above 10%. The same applies the other way round too. When both parties on the right are doing OK, but neither is doing amazingly, Labour sneaks in. Someone suggested to me the other day that if all three parties were on a similar footing come the election – say on 25% each in the polls – then Reform could squeak a win. But even if the three parties were tied nationally, few seats in our system look like the whole country. Instead, they skew either more Labour or more Conservative. In July’s election, only 6 of 650 seats were won by a party with a winning vote share under 30%. With right-wing voters split between Tories and Reform, it means opposition to Labour is fractured and – even if Tory and Reform votes exceed Labour’s – it is Starmer’s party that either holds or snatches the seat. Reform’s rise is also limited by the fact that voters are so used to the two main parties being the contenders for 10 Downing Street. That is why it took Labour so long to become a party of government in the early twentieth century. It took Labour 45 years to go from its first seats to a majority in the House of Commons. The same is likely to apply to Reform at the next election. They could do well and win up to 75 or so seats. But with the right divided, it is more likely we walk into another Labour government. In the coming years we may hear about a new divide in the Conservative and Reform parties: between those who are ‘pro-pact’ and those who are ‘anti-pact’. READ MORE SUN STORIES For now, I am in neither camp. But looking just at the numbers it is hard to refute the fact that the Tories’ and Reform’s best chance of power is by working together rather than apart.Penn State coach says Saban should be college football’s commissioner

How co-writing a book threatened the Carters’ marriage

Russian Forces Claim Capture Of Town In Pokrovsk Area, But Next Steps UnclearWith a focus on human rights, US policy toward Latin America under Jimmy Carter briefly tempered a long tradition of interventionism in a key sphere of American influence, analysts say. Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 100, defied the furor of US conservatives to negotiate the handover of the Panama Canal to Panamanian control, suspended aid to multiple authoritarian governments in the region, and even attempted to normalize relations with Cuba. Carter's resolve to chart a course toward democracy and diplomacy, however, was severely tested in Central America and Cuba, where he was forced to balance his human rights priorities with pressure from adversaries to combat the spread of communism amid the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. "Latin America was fundamental and his global policy was oriented toward human rights, democratic values and multilateral cooperation," political analyst Michael Shifter of the Inter-American Dialogue, a think tank in Washington, told AFP. During his 1977-1981 administration, which was sandwiched between the Republican presidencies of Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, the Democrat sought to take a step back from US alignment with right-wing dictatorships in Latin America. An important symbol of Carter's approach was the signing of two treaties in 1977 to officially turn over the Panama Canal in 1999. "Jimmy Carter understood that if he did not return the canal to Panama, the relationship between the United States and Panama could lead to a new crisis in a country where Washington could not afford the luxury of instability," said Luis Guillermo Solis, a political scientist and former president of Costa Rica. Carter called the decision, which was wildly unpopular back home, "the most difficult political challenge I ever had," as he accepted Panama's highest honor in 2016. He also hailed the move as "a notable achievement of moving toward democracy and freedom." During his term, Carter opted not to support Nicaraguan strongman Anastasio Somoza, who was subsequently overthrown by the leftist Sandinista Front in 1979. But in El Salvador, the American president had to "make a very uncomfortable pact with the government," said Shifter. To prevent communists from taking power, Carter resumed US military assistance for a junta which then became more radical, engaging in civilian massacres and plunging El Salvador into a long civil war. Carter took a critical approach to South American dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, suspending arms deliveries and imposing sanctions in some cases. But his efforts "did not achieve any progress in terms of democratization," said Argentine political scientist Rosendo Fraga. The American president also tried to normalize relations with Cuba 15 years after the missile crisis. He relaxed sanctions that had been in force since 1962, supported secret talks and enabled limited diplomatic representation in both countries. "With him, for the first time, the possibility of dialogue rather than confrontation as a framework for political relations opened up," Jesus Arboleya, a former Cuban diplomat, told AFP. But in 1980, a mass exodus of 125,000 Cubans to the United States, with Fidel Castro's blessing, created an unexpected crisis. It "hurt Carter politically with the swarm of unexpected immigrants," said Jennifer McCoy, a professor of political science at Georgia State University. Castro continued to support Soviet-backed African governments and even deployed troops against Washington's wishes, finally putting an end to the normalization process. However, more than 20 years later, Carter made a historic visit to Havana as ex-president, at the time becoming the highest-profile American politician to set foot on Cuban soil since 1959. During the 2002 visit, "he made a bold call for the US to lift its embargo, but he also called on Castro to embrace democratic opening," said McCoy, who was part of the US delegation for the trip, during which Castro encouraged Carter to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Cuban All-Star baseball game. "Castro was sitting in the front row and we were afraid he would rise to give a long rebuttal to Carter's speech. But he didn't. He just said, 'Let's go to the ball game.'" In the years following Carter's presidency, Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) would go on to resume a full-frontal confrontation with Cuba. Decades later, Barack Obama (2009-2017) opened a new phase of measured normalization, which Donald Trump (2017-2021) brought to an end. US President Joe Biden promised to review US policy toward Cuba, but hardened his stance after Havana cracked down on anti-government protests in 2021. "Carter showed that engagement and diplomacy are more fruitful than isolation," McCoy said. bur-lp-rd-jb/lbc/mlr/bfm/sst/bbk

Developed nations should pay $US300 billion a year by 2035 to help poorer countries deal with climate change, according to a new draft deal from UN climate talks after an earlier target of $US250 billion ($A385 billion) was rejected. Login or signup to continue reading Reuters previously reported that the European Union, the United States and others wealthy countries would support the $300 billion ($A462 billion) annual global finance target in an effort to end a deadlock at the two-week summit. The COP29 climate conference in the Azerbaijan capital Baku had been due to finish on Friday, but ran into Saturday as negotiators from nearly 200 countries struggled to reach consensus on the climate funding plan for the next decade. At one point delegates from poor and small island nations walked out of talks in frustration over what they called a lack of inclusion, and amid concerns fossil fuel producing countries were seeking to water down aspects of the deal. The summit cut to the heart of the debate over the financial responsibility of industrialised countries, whose historical use of fossil fuels has caused the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions, to compensate others for the damage wrought by climate change. It also laid bare the divisions between wealthy governments constrained by tight domestic budgets and developing nations reeling from the costs of worsening storms, floods and droughts. Fiji's Deputy Prime Minister Biman Prasad told Reuters he was optimistic for an eventual agreement in Baku. "When it comes to money it's always controversial but we are expecting a deal tonight," he said. The new goal is intended to replace developed countries' previous commitment to provide $US100 billion per year in climate finance for poorer nations by 2020. That goal was met two years late, in 2022, and expires in 2025. A previous $US250 billion proposal drawn up by Azerbaijan's COP29 presidency was rejected as too low by poorer countries, which have warned a weak deal would hinder their ability to set more ambitious greenhouse gas emissions cutting targets. Countries also agreed Saturday evening on rules for a global market to buy and sell carbon credits that proponents say could mobilise billions of dollars into new projects to help fight global warming. Negotiators have been working to address other questions on the finance target, including who is asked to contribute and how much of the funding is provided as grants, rather than loans. The roster of countries required to contribute - about two dozen industrialised countries, including the US, European nations and Canada - dates back to a list decided during UN climate talks in 1992. European governments have demanded others join them in paying in, including China, the world's second-biggest economy, and oil-rich Gulf states. Donald Trump's US presidential election victory this month has also cast a cloud over the Baku talks. Trump has promised to again remove the US from international climate co-operation, so negotiators from other wealthy nations expect that under his administration the world's largest economy will not pay into the climate finance goal. A broader goal of raising $US1.3 trillion ($A2 trillion) in climate finance annually by 2035 - which would include funding from all public and private sources and which economists say matches the sum needed - was included in the draft deal. with DPA and Reuters Australian Associated Press DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.
