(AP) \u2014 North Dakota\u2019s attorney general says Gov. Doug Burgum has no authority to appoint a coal company executive to fill a state House seat won by a Republican candidate who died before the election. Burgum announced Wednesday that he was appointing BNI Energy President Wade Boeshans to the seat won Tuesday by David Andahl, who died last month from COVID-19. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says Burgum\u2019s appointment of Boeshans on the day following the election was \u201cinaccurate and untimely.\u201d Andhahl and Dave Nehringl were top vote-getters for the two open House seats Tuesday over a pair of Democratic candidates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>HEBRON, N.D.

They were able to get three of the four people living in the apartment out of the building. An elderly woman was airlifted to a Bismarck hospital for treatment. A boy was transported to the hospital by ambulance.

The team said the positive test came back Wednesday morning and Bourne immediately went into self-quarantine after getting the diagnosis. He was later placed on the COVID-19 list.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s game against Green Bay on Thursday night is still set to be played, according to a person familiar with the plans.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers are also dealing with coronavirus issues. Running backs A.J. Dillon and Jamaal Williams are on the COVID-19 list.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco will also be missing several key players Thursday due to injuries. They include Jimmy Garoppolo (gah-RAH\u2019-puh-loh), George Kittle, Raheem Mostert, Nick Bosa and Richard Sherman.<\/p>\n<p>In other NFL news:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The New York Giants have acquired wide receiver Dante Pettis on waivers from the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants announced the move late Wednesday, a day after Pettis was released by the Niners. Pettis will be in the six-day COVID-19 protocol so he will not count on the roster. He will be eligible to play when the Giants host the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 15.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mitchell Trubisky\u2019s brief appearance last week was a painful one for the Chicago Bears\u2019 former starting quarterback. Trubisky injured his right shoulder when he was tackled running the ball on his lone snap in an overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints. Trubisky came on in the first quarter on Sunday in his first appearance since he was replaced by Nick Foles during the Week 3 win at Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Two more Denver Broncos players have been placed on the NFL\u2019s COVID-19\/reserve list. They are starting defensive end Shelby Harris and practice squad offensive lineman Darrin Paulo. Harris came into close contact with an infected individual and self-reported. He will have to have five consecutive days of negative coronavirus tests to be able to return to the team. Paulo is infected with the novel coronavirus. Both players are isolating at their homes. The Broncos have now had three players, three assistant coaches and two executives go under COVID-19 protocols in the past 2 1\/2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been placed on the Reserve\/COVID-19 list. The list was created for players who test positive for the coronavirus or who have been in close contact with anyone infected. The Lions put linebacker Jarrad Davis on the list the previous day. Before the Lions announced Stafford\u2019s status, coach Matt Patricia said there was no need to shut down the team\u2019s training facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Chicago Bears could be missing four starters on their offensive line when they visit the Tennessee Titans this week, after placing right tackle Bobby Massie on injured reserve and right guard Germain Ifedi on the Reserve\/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. The Bears also placed backup tackle Jason Spriggs on the COVID list.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Baltimore Ravens are short-handed at practice this week after moving two starting offensive linemen to injured reserve and placing eight players on the COVID-19 reserve list. For Sunday\u2019s AFC clash against the Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore will be without left offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley and right guard Tyre Phillips, who are on injured reserve. Baltimore also must find a replacement for All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who has tested positive for the coronavirus. If the other seven players on the reserve\/COVID-19 list test negative on Saturday, they can face the Colts.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Panthers coach Matt Rhule is \u201cvery hopeful\u201d Christian McCaffrey will play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs after the running back went through his first padded practice on Wednesday since Week 2. He\u2019s still listed as designated to return from injured reserve, so he wasn\u2019t given an injury designation after practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cleveland Browns star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has surgery scheduled to repair a torn knee ligament that ended his season. Andrew Berry, the team\u2019s general manager and executive vice president, said Beckham will have the procedure \u201cearly next week.\u201d Beckham tore a knee ligament in an Oct. 25 game at Cincinnati. Beckham\u2019s loss is a major blow to the Browns, who have a bye this week and host Houston on Nov. 15. While there is continued speculation about Beckham\u2019s future, Berry said he still sees the three-time Pro Bowler as part of the club\u2019s long-term plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 In a string of moves this week, the Tennessee Titans released outside linebacker Vic Beasley Jr. Some bad snaps also cost long snapper Beau Brinkley his job. General manager Jon Robinson says the team made the moves to help win games, not send messages.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NFL and NFL Players Association data for the week of Oct. 25-31 show eight new confirmed positive COVIC-19 tests among players, and 17 new confirmed positives among other personnel. A total of 42,916 tests were administered to 7,884 players and team personnel. There were 16,814 tests administered to 2,511 players; 26,102 tests were administered to 5,373 personnel.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Miami Dolphins\u2019 top two running backs are sidelined by injuries. Myles Gaskin sat out Wednesday\u2019s practice with a knee injury that could sideline him for several weeks, and Matt Breida is nursing a hamstring injury. Gaskin has been the Dolphins\u2019 best backfield threat with 585 yards rushing and receiving, but they rank 28th in the NFL in rushing and next to last in yards per attempt at 3.6. The injuries could mean more playing time Sunday at Arizona for Jordan Howard.<\/p>\n<p>MLB-NEWS<\/p>\n<p>Bauer\u2019s agent says he is rejecting $18.M qualifying offer<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Trevor Bauer\u2019s agent says the pitcher is rejecting the Cincinnati Reds\u2019 $18.9 million qualifying offer.<\/p>\n<p>The 29 year old right-hander was given the offer on Sunday and had until Nov. 11 to make his decision. Bauer was 5-4 with a National League-leading 1.73 ERA, striking out 100 and walking 17 in 73 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Bauer was among six players given qualifying offers, joined by George Springer, DJ LeMahieu, J.T. Realmuto, Marcus Stroman and Kevin Gausman.<\/p>\n<p>In other MLB news:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ed Sedar is transitioning into a new role as an adviser to the Brewers\u2019 coaching staff after working as a first-base or third-base coach in Milwaukee for the last 14 seasons. That move marked the biggest change as the Brewers announced their 2021 coaching staff Wednesday. Sedar had been the Brewers\u2019 first-base coach from 2007-10 and third-base coach from 2011-20. Quintin Berry will take over as a base coach next season after working as the Brewers\u2019 minor league outfielder and baserunning coordinator from 2019-20.<\/p>\n<p>NHL-NEWS<\/p>\n<p>Stars standouts Seguin, Bishop face 5-month surgery rehabs<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Dallas Stars center Tyler Seguin (SAY\u2019-gihn) and goaltender Ben Bishop both face about five months of rehabilitation and recovery after surgery. Seguin had surgery Monday in New York to repair a torn labrum in his hip. The six-time All-Star played with the injury during the Stanley Cup playoffs for the Western Conference champions. Bishop had surgery Oct. 21 in Missouri to repair torn meniscus in his right knee. He also had surgery in May and didn\u2019t play after a first-round playoff game against Colorado on Aug. 31.<\/p>\n<p>Seguin led the team with 50 points in the regular season. The six-time All-Star had two goals and 11 assists in 26 playoff games, with no goals and six assists the last 15 games.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop didn\u2019t play after a first-round playoff game against Colorado on Aug. 31 because he never fully recovered from a previous knee surgery in May during the season\u2019s 4 1\/2-month pause because of the coronavirus pandemic. Bishop has three years left on his $29.5 million, six-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>In other NHL news:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The New York Islanders and restricted free agent defenseman Ryan Pulock have agreed to terms on a two-year deal. The Islanders and the 26-year-old Pulock reached the deal on Wednesday, avoiding an arbitration hearing. Pulock had 10 goals and 25 assists in 68 games last season. The first-round draft pick in 2013 added two goals and eight assists in 22 playoff games as the Islanders made it to the Eastern Conference final. Pulock led Islanders defensemen in scoring in each of the past two seasons. He has 31 goals and 77 assists in 234 NHL games.<\/p>\n<p>TENNIS-PARIS MASTERS-NADAL<\/p>\n<p>Nadal earns 1,000th win, reaches 3rd round at Paris Masters<\/p>\n<p>PARIS (AP) \u2014 Rafael Nadal has become only the fourth man to reach 1,000 career wins after beating fellow Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4 in the second round of the Paris Masters.<\/p>\n<p>The 20-time Grand Slam champion joined Jimmy Connors, Roger Federer and Ivan Lendl as the only male players to reach the 1,000-win mark since the Open era began in 1968.<\/p>\n<p>The 34-year-old Nadal achieved a double milestone in Paris this year having won the French Open last month to tie Federer on 20 major titles.<\/p>\n<p>COLLEGE FOOTBALL-NEWS<\/p>\n<p>Louisville-Virginia postponed due to Cardinals\u2019 virus cases<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Louisville has paused all football activities and its Saturday game at Virginia has been postponed at least a week due to a spike in COVID-19 cases. Louisville&#8217;s athletic director says the program has 10 players who have tested positive for COVID-19 and five players in quarantine because of contact tracing. Nine Louisville players, mostly on defense, were held out of last week\u2019s 42-35 loss to Virginia Tech. Coach Scott Satterfield said afterward that some of the absences were COVID-19-related.<\/p>\n<p>GOLF-JOHNSON<\/p>\n<p>Johnson back following COVID-19 and trying to play catch-up<\/p>\n<p>HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 Dustin Johnson is playing the Houston Open as his final preparation for the Masters. He just didn\u2019t realize it would amount to a crash course. Johnson recovered from COVID-19, which knocked him out of two big tournaments in Las Vegas and California.<\/p>\n<p>This will be his first competition since he tied for sixth in the U.S. Open on Sept. 20.<\/p>\n<p>The one upside is that Johnson doesn\u2019t have to be tested for the coronavirus again for three months. Considering he still doesn\u2019t know how he caught the virus, he says he would be nervous if he had to wait on the result at Augusta.<\/p>\n<p>HORSE RACING-U.S. SENATE<\/p>\n<p>Horse racing seeking to implement variety of safety reforms<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 A movement is underway in horse racing to clean up the sport by enacting uniform safety standards that everyone in the industry would have to abide by. An integrity and safety bill is being reviewed by the Senate that could put national standards in place by the start of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, different states and tracks are implementing rules to address concerns about doping, medication and optics. National rules would make it safer for horses and level the playing field for all involved and could preserve the long-term health of the sport.<\/p>\n<p>The rules include eliminating performance-enhancing substances, restricting the use of an anti-bleeding medication and placing limits on the use of a bronchodilator that can enhance muscle development. There would also be restrictions on how \u2014 and how many times \u2014 a jockey can whip a horse consecutively during a race.<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) \u2014 A riot was declared in Portland, Oregon, and protesters took to the streets in Seattle as people demand that every vote in Tuesday&#8217;s election be counted. Hundreds of people were protesting in both cities against President Donald Trump\u2019s court challenges to stop the vote count in battleground states. The Multnomah County Sheriff\u2019s Office said on Twitter around 7 p.m. that the National Guard was activated in Portland in response to protesters smashing windows at businesses. The sheriff&#8217;s office said widespread damage had occurred and one person was arrested.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of angry supporters of President Donald Trump converged on vote-counting centers in Detroit and Phoenix as returns went against the president Wednesday in the two key states, while thousands of anti-Trump protesters demanding a complete count of the ballots in the still-undecided election took to the streets in cities across the U.S. The protests came as the president repeatedly insisted without evidence that there were major problems with the voting and the ballot counting, and as Republicans filed suit in multiple states, preparing to contest election results. Protests \u2014 sometimes about the election, sometimes about racial inequality \u2014 took place in at least a half-dozen cities, including Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis and San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Joe Biden stands on the brink of winning the presidency, needing to clinch just one more battleground state to defeat President Donald Trump. Biden already has won the fiercely contested prizes of Michigan and Wisconsin, part of the \u201cblue wall\u201d that slipped away from Democrats four years ago. Two days after Election Day, neither candidate has amassed the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. But Biden\u2019s victories in the Great Lakes states have him at 264, meaning he is one battleground state away from becoming president-elect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>U.S. futures and world shares have surged as investors await the outcome of the U.S. presidential election and embrace the upside of more gridlock in Washington. European markets opened higher after a day of gains in Asia. The fate of the U.S. presidency remained undecided as of early Thursday as neither President Donald Trump or Democratic challenger Joe Biden had secured the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win. Analysts say a Congress likely once again split between a Democratic House and a Republican Senate is expected to keep U.S. tax and other policies relatively stable thanks to legislative gridlock. And share prices tend to rise regardless of who is in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BRUSSELS (AP) \u2014 The European Commission has cut its outlook for the rebound from the pandemic shutdowns. The executive authority for the European Union said that things won&#8217;t reach pre-virus levels until 2023. That&#8217;s the takeaway from the autumn economy forecast. Growth is now foreseen at 4.2% next year for the 19 EU member countries that use the euro. That reflects fears about new lockdowns as numbers of infections increase. The European economy saw a strong rebound in July, August and September so the commission raised its growth forecast for this year. But the numbers are shakier than usual because there&#8217;s so much uncertainty about the course of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; .REST OF TODAY&#8230;Mostly clear.
