In the clip, shared by Angie Diaz, a black bear is leaning across an empty table and knocking over the floral centerpiece and the cutlery.

The claims that can be resubmitted might have been denied in part due to the NFL’s controversial use of “race-norming” in the claims process, which gained national attention and anger over the last several years, the Associated Press reported. “Race-norming” made the assumption that Black people have lower levels of cognitive function than white people, making it harder for non-white former NFL players to prove a loss of brain function due to repeated brain trauma suffered while playing professional football....
It’s about time somebody noticed. For better or worse, the Fox network has quietly cornered the franchise on blackoriented series. Six currently ride its airwaves with three more (including “South Central”) scheduled as midseason replacements. That adds up to nine black shows–not only a runaway TV record but more than double the number that the other three networks combined have. The House of Murdock hasn’t experienced a sudden attack of racial sensitivity....
In an email to voters seen by Fox News, the Black Lives Matter PAC said the outcome of Georgia’s Senate races would have a direct impact on efforts to reform the criminal justice system, electoral processes and access to health care. It was also reported by Fox News that the email said Georgia’s Senate runoff races could also affect the future of progressive policy proposals, such as the BREATHE Act—which looks to divest funds from policing and redirect federal money to other agencies and initiatives....

Detailing the call in a press statement, Monona Police said the woman explained that the previous resident of the home had recently died and it had been vacant ever since. The woman did identify the individual seen at her neighbor’s home as an African American male, however, that was not conveyed to the responding officers, the department said....

The Cardinals’ Blaine Gabbert faced that situation on the second drive of the Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium on Thursday. Arizona’s third-string quarterback zipped a pass on a crossing route to tight Troy Niklas for a 20-yard gain and another first down. FANTASY SOURCE: Preseason QB rankings Gabbert made the play, part of a first half in which he finished 11 of 14 passing for 185 yards and led two touchdown drives....
That’s my glass-half-full-of-teal-colored-beer perspective Sunday of Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles from EverBank Stadium, where the specialty brew created to commemorate Jacksonville’s first home playoff game in 18 years sold out at the end of the first quarter. Bortles’ performance could turn teetotalers into souses. But it’s the fan base known for alcohol-fueled shenanigans that will be drowning its sorrows, because Buffalo’s QB play was even worse.

Griffin’s health will be crucial to Detroit’s success this year and is coming off an impressive 2018-19....
The Clippers five-time All-Star forward will serve as the executive producer for a new animated comedy, “Okies of Bel Air.” The story is loosely based on Griffin and his family, who hail from Oklahoma, and their move to Los Angeles. WATCH: Griffin tells hilarious strip club story in stand-up routine Hollywood site Deadline.com describes the show as “In the vein of ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ and ‘The Beverly Hillbillies,’ ‘Okies of Bel Air’ is the story of a family of humble Oklahoma catfish farmers who, after their basketball prodigy son is chosen first overall in the NBA draft, pack up and move to the tony enclave of Bel Air, where they’ll struggle to preserve their down-home sensibilities amidst a vast cultural wasteland where Kardashian reigns supreme and pressed juice is considered a viable alternative to childhood vaccinations....

The 22-year-old, who completed a move to Los Angeles FC last month, was in top form for Major League Soccer side Sporting Kanasas last season, scoring six goals in his debut campaign. However, he is yet to earn a debut senior national team appearance with Ghana, which he thinks is an unfair treatment from coach Kwesi Appiah. “To play for Ghana is not my target at the moment because I have done whatever any player would have to do to be rewarded with a call-up but I have not received any good signs from the coach,” Blessing told Happy FM....
Apparently it’s impossible to write a book about the Mafia without writing a romance. “The Godfather” is at least as romantic as “Parsifal” and Lucky Luciano’s alleged confessions more so. Even a couple of calloused FBI agents who have spent endless boring months eavesdropping on the table talk of the latest godfather, Paul Castellano, find their eyes misting over when they come to arrest him: “There was a greatness about Paul Castellano....
Ambassador Nicholas Burns appealed for the Chinese public to be allowed to watch or read Blinken’s May 26 address, which included praise for the Chinese people even as it criticized the government and its increasingly assertive ruling party. “China is the only country with both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to do it,” Blinken said in his remarks at the George Washington University....

But more research is needed to confirm this result, the authors of the paper published in the journal Nature Communications said....
Both valve types require specific medication regimens, and research has changed over the years to reflect the benefits and risks of blood thinners in particular. When and Why Blood Thinners Are Recommended Healthcare providers prescribe blood thinners after a mechanical valve replacement for two reasons. First, man-made valves are constructed of carbon and titanium, and your blood may have a tendency to “stick” to the artificial valve. That can cause the valve to clog and malfunction....
Two separate pieces of research published in the peer-reviewed journal Blood Advances have found that someone’s blood type could determine whether they’re less or more likely to contract COVID-19. The studies also showed blood groups could lead to a reduced likelihood of severe outcomes, including organ complications, if you do get sick. The American Red Cross says that blood types are “determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens”....
Bloomberg was criticizing remarks Sanders made to journalist Anderson Cooper in an interview that aired on 60 Minutes Sunday. A 1985 video clip of Sanders explaining that the Cuban people did not help America in revolting against Castro because he “educated their kids, gave them healthcare, totally transformed their society” was questioned by Cooper, prompting a mixed response from Sanders. “We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba, but you know, it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad,” said Sanders....
