Tugj Brawl near end of NFL game, Browns defender rips helmet off Steelers QB, strikes him in the head RALEIGH, N.C. AP 鈥?North Carolina Republicans stripped the incoming Democratic governor of some of his authority on Friday and were on the cusp of an even greater power grab, an extraordinary move critics said flies in the face of voters.Just last week, it appeared Republicans were ready to finally accept Democrats narrow win in a contentious governor s race. As it turns out, they weren t done fighting. In a surprise special session in the dying days of the old administration, some say the Republican-dominated legislature has thrown the government into total disarray, approving at least one bill aimed at emasculating incoming Gov. Roy Cooper s administration.Cooper, the current attorney general, has threatened to sue. And many in the state are accusing Republicans of letting sour grapes over losing the governor s mansion turn into a legislative coup. I believe fervently in democracy. I m watc hing it be undermined .. . by people who seem unwilling to consider or to listen, said Margaret Toman, who was among hundreds of protesters rallying inside the Legislative Building this week, demanding that Republicans leave Cooper s authority alone.The protesters were so loud that Senate and House clea red the galleries 鈥?a highly unusual move 鈥?and more than two dozen people were arrested this week.

Bgmb OPEC nations and Russia agree to cut oil output to lift prices WASHINGTON 鈥?When the Trump administration gave a well-connected Republican donor seed money to test a possible COVID-19-fighting blood plasma technology, it noted the companys manufacturing facilities in Charleston, South C arolina.Plasma Technologies LLC is indeed based in the stately waterfront city. But there are no manufacturing facilities. Instead, the company exists within the luxury condo of its majority owner, Eugene Zurlo.Zurlos company may be in line for as much as $65 million in ta xpayer dollars; enough to start building an actual production plant, according to internal government records and other documents obtained by The Associated Press.The story of how a tiny business that exists only on paper has managed to snare attention from the highest reaches of the U.S. military and government is emblematic of the Trump administrations frenetic response to the coronavirus pandemic.Its also another in a series of contracts awarded to people with close political ties to key officials despite concerns voiced by government scientists. Among the others:聽an ill-conceived $21 million study of Pepcid聽as a COVID therapy and聽more than a half billion dollars to ApiJect Systems America, a startup with an unapproved medicine injection technology and no factory to manufacture the devices.In addition, a government whistleblower claimed that a聽$1.6 billion vaccine contract to Novavax Inc.聽was made over objections of scientific staff.At the center of these deals is Dr. Robert Kadlec, Vtxp 6 months after Capitol assault, corporate pledges fall flat The White House Coronavirus task force is urging public and private sector vaccine requirements to boost vaccination rates and make headway against COVID-19.Watch the briefing in the player above.The president first adopted vaccination requirements for federal workers last month, said Jeff Zients, the task force response coordinator.And now over 800 colleges and universities, over 200 health care employers, small and large businesses across the country, and dozens of state and local governments and school districts have stepped up to follow the president lead, he said.Bottom line, vaccination requirements work.The task force also provided Labor Day trave l guidance and advice to parents as children head back to school.We have actually articulated that people who are fully vaccinated and who are wearing masks can travel, said CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.If you are unvaccinated, we would recommend not traveling, she said.CDC recommends that everyone eligible for vaccination be vaccinated before school starts, she said.Next, universal masking is critically important in schools for students, teach ers, staff and visitors, regardless of vaccinati on status, Walensky said.CDC also recommends schools employ additional key strategies in school to keep kids safe, including improved ventilation, physical distancing and establishing screening programs for students and

Tild Decoding the thoughts of patients who can t even blink Bright colors paint the streets and sides of buildings across America, as murals are created as a symbol of solidarity for the black community.But many of the murals already have scars, vandalized with tar, tire marks, and words of hate. No, not surprised. Racism is still prevalent in Santa Barbara, as it is in t he entire land, unfortunately, said Ron Paris Green, a musician who lives in Santa Barbara, California. When a mural paying tribute to George Floyd went up in the d owntown area, Green jokes that he thought he was in a different city. Santa Barbara has strict rules on what signs are allowed on buildings. The town has a uniform architecture of red tile roofs and white stucco walls. To have a Black man on the side of a wall, which is supposed to be white, is not something a lot of people want to see, especially in Santa Barbara, said Bix Kaufman, owner of EOS Lounge. After the death of Floyd, Kaufman broke the city s longstanding tradition, inviting an artist to transform the white wall outside his club. The overwhelming white community has a Black population of less than 2 percent. This is, I think, one of the strongest statements in Santa Barbara right now, and it feels really good. And there s been so much positive feedback, said Kaufman. Green visits the mural twice a day now, I m very optimistic, yes, because of the young people stepping for the cause. He s been marching with young activists and hopes to send some to a massive march planned for this August in W Frbp President Trump greeted by supporters, protesters in Council Bluffs The US government announced additional sanctions and travel restrictions on Cuba Wednesday, following up on an announcement by President Donald Trump earlier this year.Among the specific changes outlined by the Treasury Department are restrictions on travel to Cuba for educational or cultural exchange groups, which will now be permitted only for sponsored groups in the United States, and with the participation of representatives from those groups.Individuals traveling for so called people-to-people outreach will no longer be able to visit the country, except where travel arrangements have already been made, or in cases where these individuals are accompanied by permitted, US-based sponsors, a senior administration official explained to reporters on a conference call. We have strengthened our Cuba policies to channel economic activity away from the Cuban military and to encourage the government to move toward greater political and econom ic freedom for the Cuban people, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement.The State Department has also published a list of 180 entities including hotels, stores, rum makers, marinas and a economic development zone at the Port of Mariel, which are believed to financially benefit the Cuban military, intelligence and security services and which US citizens will no longer be permitted to frequent.

Their snack food fantasies abandoned, they snapped back to reality. Their answers, in unison: a resounding, No!Kamau agreed. That money is not for free, s he told the girls in Swahili.

Qvlj Steve Wynn: Board of directors launches investigation into sexual assault allegations Race relations is one issue impacting voters as they head to the polls for the midterms next week.A recent poll from the Associated Press found 77 percent of Democratsand about 50 percent of Republicans say they re dissatisfied with race relations.During a speech this week, P resident Donald Trump stirred up another controversy. They have a word. It sort of became old fashion. It s called a nationalist. And I say, really, we re not supposed to use that word President Trump said. You know what I am, I m a nationalist, OK The president says he used the word because he s proud of our country, but some say the word is a signal to white nationalists and points back to the president s comments after the Nazi rally in Charlottesville last year. He s allowing white nationalist to feel comforted in those words, says Andre Perry, with the Brookings Institution. It s clear he s using a divisive rhetoric to rally his base, and that rhetoric is racist. But for the past year, Candace Owens with the conservative, non-profit organization Turning Point USA, has defended Trump. No matter what he says, they spin it, Owens says. No matter how he says it, they spin it. You saw that with [the] Charlottesville thing. What he said was factually accurate, but they spun it like he was supporting the KKK. At the White House, President Trump recently hosted a summit with young black conservatives like Owens.
