South Carolina, considered an early challenger to Georgia in the East this year, played the role of upstart well heading into the game. There was former Gamecock Tori Gurley guaranteeing a victory over the Bulldogs. Then there was Deebo Samuel, who seemingly didn’t know who Georgia defensive back Deandre Baker was (he’s the player who helped limit him to six catches for 33 yards). All that would have been fine if the Gamecocks had backed it up with their on-field play, but it was Georgia, which was happy to let South Carolina do all the talking beforehand, that delivered the loudest message Saturday....

In the 24-minute video, Gay flashed a firearm, he said, to make sure the judge was “reassured” that his threat was “real and valid.” He also threatened violence against other courthouse employees and any law enforcement officers that might try to stop him and added that he would see the county office shut down. Authorities with the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive and T.R.A.C.E Units later tracked down Gay in Rockdale County, with the help of the Gwinnett County Police Department Aviation Unit....

The city council of Georgia’s Tybee Island, a tourist hotspot, on March 20 voted to close the area’s beaches as it shut down the area to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The town put up signs and barricades to block would-be beachgoers from disregarding the local mandate. But Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp, a Republican, overturned the beach closure with his executive order for his state’s residents to “shelter in place....

The Reverend James Woodall said that he participated in weekly meetings with fellow community leaders, election experts and politicians to improve voting policies throughout the state but ultimately concluded the task force was “all for show,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Woodall said that he had been frustrated with the committee for a while but decided to resign after he accused Raffensperger of attempting to disenfranchise thousands of eligible Georgia voters to benefit the Republican Party....

He could," Georgia coach Mark Richt told reporters. "In life, adversity happens. You can panic or you can look at what you have and find a way to win."

The last step is for Governor Brian Kemp to sign Senate Bill 2EX into law. The Associated Press reported that the 96-68 state House vote fell largely along party lines. The redistricting follows President Joe Biden’s narrow win in the state during the 2020 presidential election and the state’s election of two Democratic U.S. senators in January. With the new district lines, Republicans are projected to win 64 percent of 14 congressional seats, 59 percent of 56 state Senate seats and 54 percent of 180 state House seats....

The district reopened without a mask mandate for students and it is unclear if the recent potential spread of the virus may lead the district to implement one. Staff have been required to wear one on school grounds. “As we said before reopening, social distancing is not possible in all situations at our schools – this is why we require our staff to wear masks or face shields when they cannot distance, and this is why we’re providing masks to students and strongly recommending they wear them,” Superintendent Brian Hightower wrote in a letter to parents on Friday....

A goal from Gabriel Jesus gave the South Americans a narrow victory in Berlin that amounts to some form of revenge after they were thumped 7-1 by Germany as the Europeans won the 2014 World Cup. With the 2018 competition now just weeks away, the Germans are once again considered one of the favourites but Real Madrid midfielder Kroos believes that they cannot let the hype get to them after their latest setback....

Chelsea set to sign Alex Sandro for £60m Low had Kerem Demirbay and Timo Werner to thank for the historic result with the pair finding the net as the world champions won 3-1 in Sochi. Demirbay put the Germans ahead and Werner doubled his side’s advantage, but Cameroon threatened to mount a comeback when Vincent Aboubakar pulled one back on 78 minutes. However, Werner struck again two minutes later to ensure a comfortable win....

The flooding, which occurred in western parts of Germany with the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia the worst hit, also struck areas of Belgium and the Netherlands where river banks burst after heavy rain equivalent to around two months’ worth hit parts of Europe on Thursday. Around 1,300 people are still missing in the Ahrweiler district south of Cologne in Germany, as family members are unable to call their loved ones reportedly due to mobile phone networks collapsing during the flooding....

Key names Timo Werner and Marco Reus saw their chances of heading to Qatar wrecked by injury, with rising star Florian Wirtz also ruled out. Those absences have impacted Flick’s selection in his final 26-man squad, which was announced on November 10, with veteran midfielder Mario Gotze the big surprise call up. Gotze’s extra-time winner in the 2014 World Cup final is one of the most iconic moments in German football history, but the forward has been left out in the cold for the national side since 2017, but now he is back....

The Jamkraft Arena outfit were pulled level by Gero in the 52nd minute before Curtis Edwards handed them the lead after he smashed a 25-yard volley past Iago Henrrerin four minutes after the hour mark. But just before full time, substitute Inaki Williams popped up to spoil the Allsvenskan outfit’s perfect record in the competition after converting Adruiz’ cross past Aly Keita. Gero played for the entire duration of the game and was booked in the 72nd minute....

During a 17-year playing career at Anfield, Gerrard made 710 appearances, scored 186 goals and lifted 10 trophies – including the Champions League in 2004-05 and two FA Cups. After a stint in MLS with the Los Angeles Galaxy, the 36-year-old returned to Liverpool as an academy coach in February, despite being linked with top job at MK Dons. ‘Liverpool better than City title winners’ Rush is confident Gerrard made the right decision and will play a pivotal role in the club’s future from the first-team dugout - potentially alongside former team-mate Jamie Carragher....

Rangers have made the former England captain their No.1 target for the manager’s position at Ibrox, with interim boss Graeme Murty unlikely to be given the job on a full-time basis. Gerrard has impressed since being appointed Under 18s boss at Liverpool last summer, but his lack of first-team managerial experience is a concern for former Rangers skipper McCulloch. “Yes, Gerrard is an Under-18s coach, a phenomenally talented player for club and country, and won the Champions League and UEFA Cup," McCulloch told BBC Sportsound....

The American Diabetes Association estimates that gestational diabetes occurs in 10% of pregnancies in the United States. As long as the condition is detected early and treated, people with this form of diabetes can have healthy pregnancies and deliver healthy babies.

Burrow, who won the Heisman Trophy at LSU with a record-setting season in 2019, is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. That would be the latest step in a journey that took him from Ohio to Louisiana back to Ohio one more time. He reflected on that journey after leading LSU to a 42-25 victory against Clemson in the College Football Playoff championship game on Jan....

The journey may soon get shorter. Beijing may take a hard line toward Taiwan, but at the grass roots, a quiet revolution is afoot. Along China’s coast, just 136 miles across the water from Taiwan, trade and cultural exchanges are booming. True, as Taiwan moves farther from mainland China’s authoritarian model, peaceful reunification seems increasingly remote. The political mudslinging dominates the headlines–and there are Beijing hard-liners who firmly believe reuniting with Taiwan is more important than doing business with it....

That was his real education. While awaiting charges, Adwan overheard two Israeli soldiers arguing over whether he should be made to sign a document in Hebrew that he couldn’t read. Shocked to hear one of his enemies defending his rights, Adwan decided that he had some things to learn about the Jewish nation. So much of the gulf in understanding that plagues the Middle East has to do with the willful disregard for the other’s point of view....
