The bill cleared its final legislative hurdle Friday when the Georgia Senate approved the legislation allowing those who can legally possess firearms to carry a concealed handgun or knife. The state’s Republican governor has indicated he’ll sign the bill, putting Georgia alongside a growing number of red states to adopt the controversial loosening of gun restrictions. The legislation, Senate Bill 319, would not allow people with felonies or previous drug-related convictions to carry concealed handguns....

In November, Georgina gave birth to daughter Alana Martina, who joined Cristiano Jr and twins Mateo and Eva Maria. The twins were born in June to a surrogate mother, while the 32-year-old has also never revealed the name of Cristiano Jr’s mother.

Moster was caught on German television using derogatory language as he urged on Germany’s Nikias Arndt as he rode behind Eritrea’s Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier and Algeria’s Azzedine Lagab. Moster, who has been the sports director of Germany’s cycling team since 2012, apologized for his remarks after the race on Wednesday. “In the heat of the moment and with the overall burden that we have here at the moment, my choice of words was wrong,” the 54-year-old said, according to the BBC....

“I’m anything but happy with this decision,” Spahn said during a news conference in Berlin. However, Spahn said this decision demonstrates the need for international cooperation between governments to benefit their people. “Especially when it comes to health issues and the health care of the population, the question is always: Who are we actually punishing here if we don’t make cooperation possible?” Spahn said. “Are we punishing the regime or the population?...

However, this time the 57-year-old is aiming to repeat the trick as the main man in the dugout having taken charge of his country 18 months ago. The Germans turned to Flick after a disastrous 2018 campaign saw them dumped out in the group stages and he had just led Bayern Munich to a Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League treble. He will be hoping for a strong start to his first World Cup campaign as national team boss against Japan on Wednesday....

Money aside, though, Cole plays for the Yankees because the deal in free agency made for the perfect player-team match. MORE: Why Cole is a safe bet for the Yankees Cole grew up a Yankees fan, so his reasoning for signing with New York, money included, is fairly obvious. But the Yankees evidently were even more interested in Cole than the 29-year-old righty was in putting on the pinstripes....

Cruz, who stepped in after Rolando Romero was pulled because of sexual assault allegations, was a little-known fighter who was expected to be finished by Davis. Instead, he gave “Tank” all he could handle with nonstop pressure, a sturdy chin and a style that refused to allow Davis the room to uncork his incredible power. The scores of 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 were an accurate reflection of a tougher-than-expected fight that will certainly raise Cruz’s stock....

Screenwriter William Monahan has done a terrific job transposing the story to ethnically fraught Boston. He’s added many savory (and unsavory) new elements while staying true to the cat-and-mouse twists and turns of Alan Mak and Felix Chong’s original script. (Strangely, there’s no acknowledgment that it’s a remake until deep into the end credits.) “The Departed” is the tale of two moles. Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) is a clean-cut rising star in the Boston Police Department’s Special Investigative Unit, which is determined to bring down the kingpin of the Irish-American mob, Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson)....

Giannis took full responsibility for the shortcoming, backing up the leadership he showed on the court with words. His commitment, and his genuine disappointment, was clear to everyone watching. If not, he would have comfortably stayed in Milwaukee, where his NBA franchise eagerly waited for him to sign a new contract. If, by any chance, Giannis had injured himself playing for his national team, he would probably have lost himself a few digits from his bank account....

Authorities in the country, which is home to the world’s giant tropical clam species, said shells worth around 1.2 billion pesos ($25 million) were found in the sting in the western province of Palawan on the remote Green Island in the Sulu Sea, local news outlet Rappler reported. Four suspects were arrested, and the seizure included the tridacna gigas, the world’s largest clam species.

The specimen was first discovered in 1975 in the Upper Cretaceous rocks of the San Juan Basin in New Mexico. When researchers came across bone sticking out of the ground, it was attached to an entire skull, nearly complete. After decades of cleaning and research at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History, the skull was named as that of a new species yet unknown to science. “Further investigation into specimens already in museum collections, combined with the collection and research into new specimens being collected, will allow us to understand these dinosaurs to an even greater degree,” said Dr....

It comes as the former mayor of New York Rudi Giuliani faced questions after embarrassing footage was released of him featuring in the movie. A young actress, who plays Borat’s daughter and who poses as a TV journalist in the movie, is shown inviting Giuliani, 76, to her bedroom for a drink. Giuliani, who is the personal attorney to President Donald Trump, can be seen reaching into his trousers and apparently touching his genitals while lying on a bed as his microphone is removed....

If New York plans to make another Super Bowl run with Eli Manning, the first step is competing in a division that features three of the NFL’s better left tackles in Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington.

Frustrated by Panthers’ Josh Norman, who thinks of himself as “The Batman” of NFL cornerbacks, Beckham went mad in New York’s eventual 38-35 loss. He drew three personal fouls, letting both his fisticuffs and helmet fly toward Norman during the game, crimes worthy of the league handing him a one-game suspension.

Perkins became the Giants’ starting running back for 2017 after the team released Rashad Jennings on Monday. Jennings was a serviceable, older back for three season in New York, but its backfield is long overdue for a true workhorse. Perkins is a good man for that job.
