Embattled Kemp is teed up for a stern challenge from not only the Democrats but within his own party if he opts to run for his position again in Georgia’s 2022 gubernatorial elections. The Republican governor has enraged President Donald Trump by refusing to back unevidenced claims of widespread electoral fraud at the 2020 election in the state. Kemp would likely face a Trump-backed Republican rival in the primary for the party’s gubernatorial nomination....

The North Paulding High School in Dallas has become a center point in the debate about the reopening of schools amid the coronavirus pandemic after two images went viral on social media this week. The first image posted by a student onto Twitter on the first day back appeared to show only a handful wearing masks in a crowded corridor. The tweet has since been shared more than 34,000 times on the social media site....

The four candidates—Republican incumbents David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler and Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock—received more than $167 million between November 3 and 24 through the grass-roots fundraising platforms ActBlue and WinRed, according to FiveThirtyEight. But just a small amount of those funds came from Georgians. The analysis found that 96 percent of the money donated to the Democrats and 92 percent of GOP funds came from out-of-state donors....

Perdue noted how Georgia has become a political hub, with so many people’s attention turning to the runoff elections, whose results will determine whether Democrats or Republicans end up with control over the Senate. “If Democrats prevail in the U.S. Senate runoff elections Tuesday they will have the control of Congress they need to impose their radical, socialist agenda on the American people,” Perdue, who has been quarantining after a staffer tested positive for COVID Thursday, wrote....

The Orioles reportedly get Brewers outfielder Gerardo Parra in a straight-up deal that sends pitcher Zach Davies to Milwaukee. Jon Heyman of CBS reported the pending deal in his standard, grammar-eschewing style. Several others, including FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal and MLB.com Orioles beat writer Brittany Ghiroli, seconded the report. The SB Nation blog Lookout Landing first reported the deal’s possibility on Thursday night. MORE: Most memorable trade deadline deals of the 21st century...

Over the weekend, German officials indicated they are drawing closer to a decision. However, Berlin is still considering the implications of a pair of factors in its decision-making process that could weigh heavily into whether or not Ukraine gets the weaponry it claims it needs. In an interview with German public broadcasting network ARD on Sunday, German Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius defended German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s deliberative consideration of providing the weaponry, citing Scholz’s ongoing concerns not only with attracting Russian aggression as a result of the aid, but of potentially jeopardizing the safety of German citizens....

The two-time world super featherweight champion had just been presented with the key to the city by Baltimore Mayor Bernard Young at City Hall, and he was trying to piece together the words to express what the honor meant to him. But first, he had to satisfy his curiosity. “I think … Ray Lewis got it first,” an inquiring Davis said to Young, speaking to how rare it is for a B’More athlete to receive the honor....

For starters, there are the mistakes. There have been many. And they’ve been disastrous. A year ago, on February 29, 2020, Fauci said we were seeing the beginning of community spread. He was asked if people should change their behavior and he said, “No. Right now at this moment there is no need to change anything you’re doing on a day-by-day basis.” In fact, had people known that they should be changing their behavior by then, we may have seen very different results from the pandemic....

A common problem after knee surgery is a loss of knee ROM in both flexion (bending) and extension. Exercises to improve knee ROM can be performed daily after knee surgery. Full knee ROM can help you perform basic functional tasks like sitting in a chair, walking, and climbing, and descending stairs. Who Should Perform the Prone Hang? You may wish to do the prone hang exercise if you have any condition that results in a loss of knee range of motion....

They’re the only team on pace to reach triple digits, and if they maintain their current season winning percentage of .652, in fact, they’ll get to 105 wins. Since Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine won 108 way back in 1975, only four teams have won as many as 105 games in a season — the Mets in 1986, the Yankees in 1998, the Mariners in 2001 and the Cardinals in 2004....

Now researchers have new ideas about managing employee moods, and they begin with touches like fresh air, full-spectrum lighting, quiet offices, guided meditations, yoga breaks and cognitive counseling. “This is an incredibly important part of keeping, recruiting, retaining and developing top people,” says Paul Hannam, a former Oxford University lecturer and consultant, who coauthored “Take Charge of Your Mind” with cognitive psychologist John Selby. Clinically depressed colleagues need to seek help outside of the workplace, of course, but the authors say many workers would perform better if they discouraged family fights over breakfast, looked at impressionist art, ate healthy afternoon snacks and took brief walks....

MORE: SN Preseason Top 25 | Time to believe the hype? Especially at Alabama, where Harris just so happens to be committed. Which is why his quick stop in Auburn following an impressive performance at Rivals’ Five-Star Challenge in Atlanta turned a few heads. But it shouldn’t. Harris committed to Alabama in April 2015. Since then, he’s taken unofficial visits to Washington and Ohio State (last year) and this one to Auburn....

NXT steals the weekend from WWE ‘SummerSlam’ It was a jam-packed, four straight days of WWE action at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn highlighted by WWE “SummerSlam," the company’s second-biggest event of the year. But once again, it was NXT that stole the headlines as the best show. “NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III” continued the streak of fantastic shows by the company’s third brand with great matches from top to bottom — with surprises sprinkled in, to the fans’ delight....

‘RAW 25’ filled with big names and big matches WWE is going all-out for the 25th anniversary of “Monday Night RAW” and, as expected, some huge stars are returning for the huge event. None will be bigger that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin whose return was announced this past Monday night.

WWE Payback hits, but with one big miss When you look at last Sunday’s WWE Payback as a whole, it was a better than average show. There were plenty of good matches, including Chris Jericho’s win over Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins earning a victory against Samoa Joe, and a fun, hard-hitting main event that saw Braun Strowman defeat Roman Reigns. MORE: Mauro Ranallo parts ways with WWE All it takes is one bad match to spoil it, and that’s what happened with the rather dreadful “House of Horrors” match between Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton....

The favorite position of today’s teens is forward-fashion forward, that is. Brightly colored soccer shorts, worn with the right pocket T and chunky Nike sandals, are the uniform kids wear to the beach, the mall or the movies. Teen fashion tends to follow popular sports, and soccer is gaining ground among young people, according to Irma Zandl, president of Xtreme, a youth-marketing firm. But not everyone who wears the shorts is a soccer fan....

Every patient has the right to obtain a second opinion, and for that matter, every patient has the right to refuse any treatment recommendations that they are not comfortable or willing to go ahead with. As long as the patient is capable of making decisions and is of sound mind, the right to a second opinion and the right to refuse treatment is standard in medicine. It is perfectly reasonable and acceptable for you to seek out a second opinion regarding potential dental work....

The Speaker was not amused. The plaza was promptly liberated. Photographs were taken. But it is high time to touch, ever so gingerly, a subject many Washingtonians fret about but are loath to address-the bloat and behavior of the Secret Service. Recently Sen. Pat Moynihan and some colleagues had a disagreeable experience at the hands of the elements (it was cold and rainy) and the Secret Service at a presidential bill-signing ceremony in Texas....

Getting wired happens well before freshman year. High-school seniors–many already armed with cell phones, iPods and computers–take virtual college tours, apply online and get accepted or rejected through e-mail. After enrollment, the electronic adventure continues. On today’s college campuses, information technology is as ubiquitous as the backpack. PCs can be used for just about everything from class registration to joint research with a student in Tokyo. And with a growing number of institutions investing in Wi-Fi, students can use their laptops while relaxing in the cof-feehouse....
