VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A top Chinese telecommunications executive facing possible extradition to the United States appeared in court Friday as she sought bail in a case that has rattled markets and raised doubts about the U.S. being able to reach a truce in its trade war with China. A prosecutor for the Canadian government urged the court not to grant bail, saying the charges against Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer for Chinese telecom giant Huawei, involve U.S. allegations that...

MILWAUKEE — The Warriors have no plans to bolster their depleted frontcourt by signing another center. "We're not going to do that," Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said after shoot-around Friday afternoon at Fiserv Forum. "We're not adding anyone right now. We need to be fully healthy before we can really assess anything." In the wake of Damian Jones' potentially season-ending pectoral injury, the Warriors don't have a prototypical center. Kevon Looney, Jordan Bell and Jonas Jerebko — all of whom are small-ball centers ... Читать дальше...

MILWAUKEE — Ahead of his Golden State debut, center DeMarcus Cousins will practice with the team’s G League affiliate in Santa Cruz as he enters the final stages of his rehab from a torn left Achilles tendon. "It’s a very difficult injury to come back from for anybody, but especially a big guy," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said at shoot-around Friday afternoon. "He’s working hard, and he’ll probably go down to Santa Cruz in the next couple weeks, practice with our G League team and get more live action. Читать дальше...

Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City moved closer this week to landing a new PGA Tour event, which will be hosted by Warriors guard Stephen Curry and played for the first time in September. Lake Merced members overwhelmingly approved a proposal to make more than $3.6 million in course upgrades, a prerequisite to holding the tournament.

There were minor injuries. At one point, authorities closed all westbound lanes to allow tow trucks and emergency response vehicles to the scene. The roadway was reopened by noon... Читать дальше...

MILWAUKEE — The Warriors don’t expect to have center Damian Jones, who underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn left pectoral muscle, back during the regular season. “He can begin rehabbing in six weeks,” Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said, “but he’s out for five or six months.” Jones probably won’t be ready to return until May or June, when the Warriors will presumably be in the playoffs. It seems unlikely that Jones would be cleared to return during the postseason without the team at least making sure he gets his conditioning back. Читать дальше...

PARIS (AP) — Anticipating a fourth straight weekend of violent protests, France on Friday mobilized armored vehicles and thousands of police, cordoned off Paris' broad boulevards and made plans to shut down tourist sites like the Eiffel Tower and Louvre. The heavy security will put central Paris in a virtual lockdown Saturday against what the interior minister called "radicalized and rebellious people," who authorities believe will join members of the "yellow vest" movement that has been holding anti-government demonstrations.

NEW YORK (AP) — When Canada legalized recreational marijuana in October, it emerged as the world leader in the industry — and U.S. companies are scrambling to get in on the action. Uruguay may have been the first country to legalize pot, but the South American country's market is dwarfed by Canada's. And while a majority of U.S. states have legalized marijuana to varying degrees, contradictory federal laws have U.S. companies reluctant to invest here. So they are sending their money north. Here's... Читать дальше...

MILWAUKEE — The latest evidence of Warriors forward Draymond Green’s persuasiveness came Friday morning, when he was upgraded to questionable for Golden State’s game against the Bucks. “Draymond is doing great,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after shootaround at Fiserv Forum. “He has made huge strides over the last four or five days. He wants to play tonight. ... He’ll warm up. He’ll talk to the trainers. My gut is to give him a few more days, but he feels like he’s ready to go.” Two days earlier... Читать дальше...

CLAYTON, N.C. (AP) — In a story Dec. 6 about a music teacher accused of forcing a woman into sexual servitude, The Associated Press reported erroneously that a North Carolina music teacher was a Grammy award winner who had received Grammy recognition in 2004. A check of records by the Recording Academy shows Ivan Hampden Jr. has neither been awarded a Grammy nor been recognized by the Academy for any work.

General manager John Lynch’s initial thought on Richard Sherman discussing a move from cornerback to safety? “It was ‘Slow down there, Sherm,’” Lynch said Friday on KNBR. Lynch obviously isn’t eager to see Sherman, 30, switch positions. And that’s not an imminent issue: On Thursday, Sherman said he can envision moving to safety near the end of a career that he expects to conclude when he’s 35. “I like the fact he’s saying he can play until he’s 35 because I’m a huge fan of Richard Sherman and what he brings to our team,” Lynch said.

Oakland’s surprising success in 2018 came despite its rotation devastation, but repeating such a high-wire act would be next to impossible. So the A’s quest going into the winter meetings, which open Monday in Las Vegas, is to add starting pitching — and lots of it. After non-tendering Mike Fiers on Nov. 30, the team returns zero starters from its end-of-season rotation and only one healthy semi-regular starter, Daniel Mengden. Oakland also doesn’t have a primary catcher; backup Josh Phegley is back... Читать дальше...

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A leading press freedom group called Friday on Polish authorities to "end their harassment and attempts to intimidate independent journalists," after a string of incidents that have raised concerns about media freedom.

When it comes to releasing a hit movie, Hollywood regularly obeys unspoken rules and trends that determine what films get greenlit and when those films are put in theaters. But every year, there are certain hit films that rewrite those rules, and 2018 was no different. From Marvel movies to documentaries, here are the films that changed the game in Hollywood. “Billion dollar hits don’t get released in February” — Films like “The Lego Movie,” “Deadpool” and “Get Out” have been chipping away at the...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California prosecutors say Amazon has agreed not to sell foie gras in the state from birds that have been force-fed. State lawmakers banned that form of the fatty duck and goose liver delicacy nearly 15 years ago.

A spokeswoman for Amazon said the company was not commenting. The prosecutors... Читать дальше...

CAPE CORAL, Fla. (AP) — It wasn't the Grinch who stole Christmas. It was a man who screamed "there's no Santa Claus" over and over during a recent holiday festival in Florida. A southwest Florida woman shared cellphone footage with Fort Myers television station NBC-2 of the man yelling during the Cape Coral Festival of Lights on Saturday night. Cape Coral police told the station that officers were at the event but couldn't do anything because the man was exercising his freedom of speech. They added... Читать дальше...
