NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Chucky Hepburn had 16 points, 10 assists and seven steals, Noah Waterman also had 16 points and Louisville beat No. 14 Indiana 89-61 on Wednesday in the opening game of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Louisville (4-1) beat a ranked team for the first time since topping Virginia Tech 73-71 on Jan. 6, 2021. Kasean Pryor scored 10 of his 14 points in the second half and Reyne Smith added 12 points for Louisville. Malik Reneau scored 21 points and Oumar Ballo added 11 for Indiana (4-1). Reneau reached 20-plus points for the eighth time in his career. The Cardinals led 37-29 at the break after making 7 of 17 from 3-point range and shooting 57% overall. Indiana missed six straight shots on two occasions in the first half, sandwiched around a string of seven missed field goals, as the Cardinals shot 9 of 29 (31%). Louisville exploded for 52 second-half points by shooting 66.7% from the field. Pryor missed only one of his six shots in the second half. Louisville quickly built a commanding lead in the second half after starting on an 11-2 run, highlighted by Pryor's fast-break dunk . The lead reached 30 on freshman Khani Rooths' alley-oop dunk that came during the Cardinals’ 16-0 run for a 78-40 lead. Louisville entered the week ranked sixth in the country in 3-point attempts per game at 34. The Cardinals attempted 27 against Indiana and made 10 of them — with four apiece from Waterman and Smith. Louisville also came into the game averaging 19 forced turnovers per game. The Cardinals scored 30 points off 23 Indiana turnovers.

Welcome to Briefly, Colorado Politics' daily news briefing. Here's what's happening today: Polis, Owens host "Disagree Better" event Gov. Jared Polis hosted an event alongside former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens and Tim Shriver, CEO of the Special Olympics and co-creator of the Dignity Index, a scoring system for ranking the civility and divisiveness of political discourse. The event, "Repairing the Breach in a Time of Political Polarization," included a discussion on how individuals with differing views can communicate respectfully and was part of Polis' Disagree Better initiative through the National Governor's Association. "As public leaders, we have a responsibility to lead with dignity and respect," said Polis. " Research shows that when political leaders stand together publicly and commit to constructively addressing our differences, we can have a depolarizing impact." Other attendees included Paul Edwards of Brigham Young University's Wheatley Institute and a panel of religious leaders. Disagree Better was created by Polis and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox. The initiative aims to show that Americans how to work through political differences and have productive, thoughtful conversations. Polis speaks at Ed Commission meeting, visits Denver Indian Health and Family Services Gov. Polis spoke at the Education Commission of the State's Winter commissioners meeting, which brings the states educators together to discuss trends, share initiatives, and collaborate to address challenges. "Helping all students get a high-quality education and secure good jobs in our innovative economy is critical for their future and Colorado’s future," said Polis. "I was excited to discuss my National Governor’s Association Chair Initiative 'Let's Get Ready' at today's meeting and the importance of creating opportunities that lead students to successful careers through many different education paths." Let's Get Ready is Polis' initiative as chair of the National Governor's Association and focuses on how to make sure young people are prepared for the workforce. Polis then visited Denver Indian Health and Family Services, the city's only Indian health clinic. In 2022, Polis signed House Bill 1190 , which appropriated funds to the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to address healthcare challenges among Indigenous people living in urban areas. "Providing all Coloradans culturally appropriate care is critical to creating a Colorado For All," Polis said. "I am thankful to Denver Indian Health and Family Services for helping our Native communities receive the care and services needed to thrive." Bennet, Hickenlooper praise federal funding for Springs-based semiconductor company Colorado Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper praised the U.S. Department of Commerce's announcement of a $77 million investment from the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, which authorized nearly $300 billion in funding for research and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States. The newest investment will help semiconductor manufacturer Entegris expand its facility in Colorado Springs, creating about 900 new jobs. "Thanks to the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, we're bringing the semiconductor industry back to America – and more economic opportunity to Colorado," said Bennet. "This historic funding for Entegris will create good-paying jobs and help our state continue to lead the way in advanced manufacturing."

iHeartMedia Announces Early Results and Modification of the Terms of the Offers and Consent Solicitations for Existing Notes and Term LoansUS stocks mostly rose Friday after a report showed a healthy jobs market, and Paris rallied as President Emmanuel Macron vowed to serve out his full term and end France's political crisis. Oil fell on concerns of oversupply and Bitcoin held at a level over $100,000 after hitting records Thursday. The world's biggest economy gained 227,000 jobs in November, more than analysts expected and up from a revised 36,000 in October, said the US Department of Labor. "The US jobs market has emphatically rebounded following October's disappointing data," said Neal Keane, head of global sales trading at ADSS. October's figures had been depressed by hurricanes and workers' strikes, while November's increases may have been exaggerated by the end of a strike at Boeing in particular -- and by retail hiring ahead of the holiday season. US stocks mostly closed higher, with the broad-based S&P 500 and tech-focused Nasdaq both hitting fresh records, although the Dow retreated slightly. Investors are mostly betting that November's jobs numbers, while comforting, are probably not strong enough to deter the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates again this month. "Investors needed a reassuring jobs report and that's exactly what they got," said eToro analyst Bret Kenwell. "The market still favors a rate cut from the Fed later this month and this report may not change that expectation." The Paris stock market closed up 1.3 percent on "hope that President Emmanuel Macron will serve out his term and that a (French) budget can be passed in the coming weeks," noted Derren Nathan, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown. Macron on Friday was holding talks with French political leaders on the left and right as he seeks to quickly name a new prime minister after Michel Barnier's government was ousted in a historic no-confidence vote. Macron adopted a defiant tone in an address to the nation Thursday evening, just 24 hours after parliament voted out Barnier over his 2025 budget plan, which included unpopular austerity measures forced through without a vote using special powers. The luxury sector benefitted also from hopes of a pickup in Chinese demand. Gucci owner Kering topped the Paris CAC 40 as its shares gained more than six percent, while LVMH rose more than three percent. French video game company Ubisoft jumped 13 percent on takeover speculation. Frankfurt closed slightly higher, other continental markets were mixed, and London slid. In Asia, shares in Seoul sank more than one percent and the won weakened to about 1,420 per dollar as lawmakers prepared to hold an impeachment vote Saturday after President Yoon Suk Yeol's dramatic, short-lived imposition of martial law this week. While analysts said the economic fallout from the crisis would likely be limited, a political storm is ongoing. Hong Kong and Shanghai rallied as investors grew hopeful of fresh stimulus when top Chinese leaders including President Xi Jinping meet to discuss economic policy next week. More from this section Bitcoin hovered above $100,000 after having blasted to the historic peak of $103,800 Thursday on news that US President-elect Donald Trump had picked crypto proponent Paul Atkins to head the nation's markets regulator.

Selden scores 29, Gardner-Webb takes down Bethune-Cookman 79-64Far-right streamer and influencer Nick Fuentes has been accused of battery after allegedly spraying a woman with pepper spray when she appeared at his front door in Illinois last month as his refrain “Your body, my choice” was going viral. Marla Rose, 57, told police that she went to record Fuentes’ home on Nov. 10 after she saw his controversial social media post and that he pepper-sprayed her, pushed her onto the concrete and broke her phone outside his Chicago-area home in Berwyn, Illinois. According to a police report, which was filed Nov. 11, the woman did not have any visible physical injuries but her eyes were “watery.” Fuentes was arrested late last month and released the same day. He is set to appear in court on Dec. 19. Fuentes did not respond to requests for comment Friday. He posted pictures Friday of his mugshots on X and wrote , “Free me n----”. Rose also took to social media, posting on Facebook : “It. Is. On. 🔥🔥🔥 PS — Civil case pending.” Rose could not be reached for comment Friday. Fuentes was doxxed and his address posted on social media after he went viral for an X post that has been viewed more than 99.6 million times since he posted it on Election Day , in which he wrote “Your body, my choice. Forever,” referring to abortion policies. He told police that since he “posted a political joke online,” he has faced death threats and “people showing up to his house unannounced” and had been “in fear for his life,” the report stated. Another woman who had driven by Fuentes’ house called police to report that she had seen a woman shoved by a man outside the home, according to the police report. Rose was still at the house when police arrived, but she and Fuentes were separated while they spoke to officers, the report stated. Police said Fuentes “became uncooperative” with the resource officer on scene and would not answer any additional questions about the alleged altercation with Rose, according to the report. After his Election Day post, Fuentes’ personal information began circulating online, with many on social media posting his address and pictures of his house, writing, “Your house, our choice.” In a now-deleted Facebook post, Rose had said that she was prompted to appear at Fuentes’ door given the views he shared online. In her post, she also disclosed Fuentes’ home address several times. This story first appeared on NBCNews.com . More from NBC News:

Political chasms, wars, oppression ... it’s easy to feel hopeless and helpless watching these dark forces play out. Could any of us ever really make a meaningful difference in the face of so much devastation? Given the scale of the world’s problems, it might feel like the small acts of human connection and solidarity that you do have control over are like putting Band-Aids on bullet wounds. It can feel naive to imagine that small acts could make any global difference. As a psychologist, human connection researcher and audience member, I was inspired to hear musician Hozier offer a counterpoint at a performance this year. “The little acts of love and solidarity that we offer each other can have powerful impact ... ” he told the crowd. “I believe the core of people on the whole is good – I genuinely do. I’ll die on that hill.” I’m happy to report that the science agrees with him. Research shows that individual acts of kindness and connection can have a real impact on global change when these acts are collective. This is true at multiple levels: between individuals, between people and institutions, and between cultures. This relational micro-activism is a powerful force for change – and serves as an antidote to hopelessness because unlike global-scale issues, these small acts are within individuals’ control. Abstract becomes real through relationships Theoretically, the idea that small, interpersonal acts have large-scale impact is explained by what psychologists call cognitive dissonance: the discomfort you feel when your actions and beliefs don’t line up. For example, imagine two people who like each other. One believes that fighting climate change is crucial, and the other believes that climate change is a political ruse. Cognitive dissonance occurs: They like each other, but they disagree. People crave cognitive balance, so the more these two like each other, the more motivated they will be to hear each other out. According to this model, then, the more you strengthen your relationships through acts of connection, the more likely you’ll be to empathize with those other individual perspectives. When these efforts are collective, they can increase understanding, compassion and community in society at large. Issues like war and oppression can feel overwhelming and abstract, but the abstract becomes real when you connect to someone you care about. So, does this theory hold up when it comes to real-world data? Small acts of connection shift attitudes Numerous studies support the power of individual acts of connection to drive larger-scale change. For instance, researchers studying the political divide in the U.S. found that participants self-identifying as Democrats or Republicans “didn’t like” people in the other group largely due to negative assumptions about the other person’s morals. People also said they valued morals like fairness, respect, loyalty and a desire to prevent harm to others. I’m intentionally leaving out which political group preferred which traits – they all sound like positive attributes, don’t they? Even though participants thought they didn’t like each other based on politics, they also all valued traits that benefit relationships. One interpretation of these findings is that the more people demonstrate to each other, act by act, that they are loyal friends and community members who want to prevent harm to others, the more they might soften large-scale social and political disagreements. Even more convincingly, another study found that Hungarian and Romanian students – people from ethnic groups with a history of social tensions – who said they had strong friendships with each other also reported improved attitudes toward the other group. Having a rocky friendship with someone from the other group actually damaged attitudes toward the other ethnic group as a whole. Again, nurturing the quality of relationships, even on an objectively small scale, had powerful implications for reducing large-scale tensions. In another study, researchers examined prejudice toward what psychologists call an out-group: a group that you don’t belong to, whether based on ethnicity, political affiliation or just preference for dogs versus cats. They asked participants to reflect on the positive qualities of someone they knew, or on their own positive characteristics. When participants wrote about the positive qualities of someone else, rather than themselves, they later reported lower levels of prejudice toward an out-group – even if the person they wrote about had no connection to that out-group. Here, moving toward appreciation of the other, rather than away from prejudice, was an effective way to transform preconceived beliefs. So, small acts of connection can shift personal attitudes. But can they really affect societies? From one-on-one to society-wide Every human being is embedded in their own network with the people and world around them, what psychologists call their social ecology. Compassionate change at any level of someone’s social ecology – internally, interpersonally or structurally – can affect all the other levels, in a kind of positive feedback loop, or upward spiral. For instance, both system-level anti-discrimination programming in schools and interpersonal support between students act reciprocally to shape school environments for students from historically marginalized groups. Again, individual acts play a key role in these positive domino effects. Even as a human connection researcher, I’ve been surprised by how much I and others have progressed toward mutual understanding by simply caring about each other. But what are small acts of connection, after all, but acts of strengthening relationships, which strengthen communities, which influence societies? In much of my clinical work, I use a model called social practice — or “intentional community-building” – as a form of therapy for people recovering from serious mental illnesses, like schizophrenia. And if intentional community-building can address some of the most debilitating states of the human psyche, I believe it follows that, writ large, it could help address the most debilitating states of human societies as well. Simply put, science supports the idea that moving toward each other in small ways can be transformational. I’ll die on that hill too.

NoneWelcome to Briefly, Colorado Politics' daily news briefing. Here's what's happening today: Polis, Owens host "Disagree Better" event Gov. Jared Polis hosted an event alongside former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens and Tim Shriver, CEO of the Special Olympics and co-creator of the Dignity Index, a scoring system for ranking the civility and divisiveness of political discourse. The event, "Repairing the Breach in a Time of Political Polarization," included a discussion on how individuals with differing views can communicate respectfully and was part of Polis' Disagree Better initiative through the National Governor's Association. "As public leaders, we have a responsibility to lead with dignity and respect," said Polis. " Research shows that when political leaders stand together publicly and commit to constructively addressing our differences, we can have a depolarizing impact." Other attendees included Paul Edwards of Brigham Young University's Wheatley Institute and a panel of religious leaders. Disagree Better was created by Polis and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox. The initiative aims to show that Americans how to work through political differences and have productive, thoughtful conversations. Polis speaks at Ed Commission meeting, visits Denver Indian Health and Family Services Gov. Polis spoke at the Education Commission of the State's Winter commissioners meeting, which brings the states educators together to discuss trends, share initiatives, and collaborate to address challenges. "Helping all students get a high-quality education and secure good jobs in our innovative economy is critical for their future and Colorado’s future," said Polis. "I was excited to discuss my National Governor’s Association Chair Initiative 'Let's Get Ready' at today's meeting and the importance of creating opportunities that lead students to successful careers through many different education paths." Let's Get Ready is Polis' initiative as chair of the National Governor's Association and focuses on how to make sure young people are prepared for the workforce. Polis then visited Denver Indian Health and Family Services, the city's only Indian health clinic. In 2022, Polis signed House Bill 1190 , which appropriated funds to the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to address healthcare challenges among Indigenous people living in urban areas. "Providing all Coloradans culturally appropriate care is critical to creating a Colorado For All," Polis said. "I am thankful to Denver Indian Health and Family Services for helping our Native communities receive the care and services needed to thrive." Bennet, Hickenlooper praise federal funding for Springs-based semiconductor company Colorado Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper praised the U.S. Department of Commerce's announcement of a $77 million investment from the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, which authorized nearly $300 billion in funding for research and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States. The newest investment will help semiconductor manufacturer Entegris expand its facility in Colorado Springs, creating about 900 new jobs. "Thanks to the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, we're bringing the semiconductor industry back to America – and more economic opportunity to Colorado," said Bennet. "This historic funding for Entegris will create good-paying jobs and help our state continue to lead the way in advanced manufacturing."
