SEOUL — North Korea on Monday issued its latest belligerent threat, warning of an indiscriminate “preemptive nuclear strike of justice” on Washington and Seoul, this time in reaction to the start of major U.S.-South Korean military drills. The North’s powerful National Defense Commission threatened strikes against targets in the South, U.S. bases in the Pacific and the U.S. mainland, saying its enemies “are working with bloodshot eyes to infringe upon the dignity, sovereignty and vital rights” of North Korea.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Washington Senate has approved a House bill aimed at closing the achievement gap between students of different ethnic groups.

Draymond Green missed Monday morning’s shootaround with an illness, and the power forward is considered questionable for the Warriors’ game against Orlando. The Warriors, who are also listing sixth man Andre Iguodala (hamstring) as questionable, have a chance to break the NBA record for consecutive home wins during the regular season by running their streak to 45 games and passing the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. On top of the chance to make history, the Warriors are pretty anxious to erase memories of Sunday’s flop against the Lakers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumers bumped up their borrowing in January at the slowest rate pace in nearly three years, as outstanding revolving debt — such as credit cards — slipped from December. Borrowing in the revolving category that covers credit cards slipped $1.1 billion, after a strong increase in December that corresponded with holiday shopping. In its monthly credit report, the Fed does not break down auto loans and student loans in the seasonally adjusted data.

(AP) — Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley on Monday apologized for anti-gay opinion pieces she wrote as a college student 24 years ago, saying she is embarrassed by the content and tone and that they do not reflect her worldview or current work as a judge. Jenni Dye, research director for One Wisconsin Now, said Bradley can't be trusted to be an unbiased member of the Supreme Court given the number of cases that could come before it dealing with gay rights in housing, health care, family and employer law.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A Turkish court has ordered a news agency linked to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's top foe placed under the management of trustees, days after a similar ruling led to the takeover of Turkey's largest-circulation newspaper, Zaman, and sparked two days of protests. The state-run Anadolu Agency says the court in Istanbul on Monday appointed three trustee managers to run Cihan News Agency, which, like Zaman, is linked to a movement led by U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen.

Data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Department of Children and Families shows that the number of babies born with opiate addiction in Wisconsin increased by 125 percent between 2009 and 2014. The increase in heroin use is the result of the crack down on methamphetamine production in 2005, as well as restrictions on the amount of opiate-based pain relievers prescribed by physicians and the rise in cheap supplies of heroin, according to Renee Krueger, director of Lincoln County Department of Social Services.

BEIRUT (AP) — The main Syrian opposition coalition will decide later this week on whether to take part in peace talks scheduled to resume Wednesday in Geneva, the head of the group said Monday, while violence across the north of the Syria claimed the lives of over a dozen people, despite a partial cease-fire.

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Protesters have become commonplace at Donald Trump's political rallies, but the multitude of interruptions Monday in North Carolina made it somewhat difficult for the businessman to stay on message. Before Trump even took the stage, a group of more than a dozen young people, of varying races and clad mostly in black and white, were escorted out of the building after linking hands and standing alongside the stage. During Trump's speech, a man was scurried through the crowd by police officers as he made obscene gestures... Читать дальше...

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's main archdiocese has taken the unusual step of publicly saying Pope Francis had been badly advised when directed harsh words to local bishops during his visit in mid-February. "The Mexican bishops have been accompanying the suffering, downtrodden people, devoting their lives to others and not living like 'princes,'" the editorial said. During his half-hour of silent prayer, Francis later told reporters "I prayed for the Mexican people, and one thing I prayed for a lot for that priests be true priests... Читать дальше...

DENVER (AP) — Should he win the Republican nomination, Donald Trump's most plausible path to victory in the general election would be a GOP map unlike any in years. To make that work he'd have to thread a narrow needle — not only holding on to those core supporters but also softening rhetoric that has alienated black and Latino voters and calming those in the GOP who vow to never vote for him. Trump has dominated a majority of Republican primaries by combining his celebrity and can-do demeanor... Читать дальше...

LAS VEGAS — Kerry Keating’s run as Santa Clara’s head coach has ended after nine seasons. Keating’s final game at the helm was a 72-60 loss to BYU in a WCC tournament quarterfinal Saturday.

(AP) — Republican lawmakers in Kansas, weary of conflicts with a judiciary that has been pushing for more school spending, are beginning to act on a measure to expand the legal grounds for impeaching judges. The serious consideration of the measure, though, signals the exceedingly bitter political climate in the state. Since Gov. Sam Brownback and GOP supermajorities won control of the statehouse in 2010, conservatives have passed a steady stream of bills cutting income taxes and spending, expanding gun rights and restricting abortion.

(AP) — Digging out from a scandal and weary of having its football program mired near the bottom of the Big Ten, Illinois made a splash Monday by hiring former NFL coach Lovie Smith to lead the Illini. Illinois has had six losing seasons in the past eight years and the program also is recovering from allegations of player abuse that led the school to fire coach Tim Beckman a week before last season started. Chicago fired Smith after the 2012 season after he compiled an overall record of 84-66 in... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration will disclose how many people have been killed by U.S. drones and counterterrorism strikes since 2009, the White House said Monday, lifting one element of secrecy shrouding the controversial counterterrorism program. The casualty report marks the latest attempt by Obama to shore up credibility for the drone program, which has attracted fierce criticism from civil rights advocates but plays a key role in Obama's strategy of targeting extremists without encumbering...
