The reigning WNBA MVP will bring her own audience to the league’s All-Star Game on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC) in Uncasville, Conn., one from the other side of the globe. Moore has carried the Shanxi Flame to three consecutive Women’s Chinese Basketball Association championships, the best player in a league that restricts use of foreign players. Moore signed with Shanxi in 2013, a move away from the relative comforts of Europe, where many of the WNBA’s top players spend their so-called offseasons....

The WNBA group also demonstrated at center court of the IMG Academy site, with each person taking a knee. Members of the Washington Mystics wore shirts that spelled out the name of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was shot seven times by a police officer in Kenosha, Wis. Each of the shirts had seven bullet holes painted on the back, to mark the seven shots that struck Blake in his back....

MORE: Team USA practice photos The league told The Associated Press in a statement that it is “proud” of their players’ “engagement and passionate advocacy,” but that rules are rules. The players who had to give up $500 of their paycheck were not happy with the league because of their hypocrisy. Many players took to social media to lash out, including the Mercury’s Kelsey Bone. She said after the Orlando nightclub shootings the league sent them shirts to wear, which she said they should have done....

Saka’s first-ever Premier League goal was the sole highlight of a largely uneventful first half, with neither team troubling the opposition’s defence. The home side had looked content to let Arsenal have the ball and hit on the counter, but were given a taste of their own medicine right at the end of the half as Kieran Tierney’s cross was volleyed home by the young English winger. The second half predictably saw Wolves press for an equaliser and it seemed like one was inevitable, with the home side putting together some slick moves and the visiting defence struggling to cope....

Wolves once roamed across Colorado but they were eradicated from the state by 1940 after conflicts with humans. After humans arrived and took away the large mammals the wolves once preyed on, the predators began hunting livestock and they were “systematically eradicated,” Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said. The first lone wolf took up residence in the state in 2019. In November 2020, a bill was passed that would see wolves reintroduced to the state....

Sarah Holba, who goes by the username @rradredgina, posted a video of the students culturally appropriating Native culture by having two students dress as the high school’s official mascot “the Indian” and “the Maiden.” The video, titled “what in the #culturalappropriation” received more than 146,000 views and 3,800 comments since it was posted on February 22.

Mary L. Frahm, the only person in the car, was killed in the incident that took place on County Highway AB, in the town of Dunn. According to a Dane County sheriff’s report, Frahm had been driving home, after taking her son to work, when some of the electrical components of her car began to malfunction. The vehicle started to lose power, while the speedometer was “going crazy” and the windshield wipers began operating without her instruction....

The gruesome discovery was made by walkers, who posted pictures and video footage of the shark head on social media, where it has fueled speculation that large sharks may be swimming in the river, and that this particular animal could have been killed by an even larger predator. However, the truth was more farcical than frightening. Jamie Gambill and Haley Weidner both posted images of the shark head on social media on Monday....

The 26-year-old Connecticut woman was captured on video stepping off the boardwalk and walking on the thermal features in the Norris Geyser Basin, according to a statement from acting U.S. Attorney Bob Murray. “Although a criminal prosecution and jail time may seem harsh, it’s better than spending time in a hospital’s burn unit,” Murray said. Signs warning visitors not to step off the boardwalk are prominently displayed on the boardwalk, where people can walk across the geyser basin....

Local reports say that the woman, whose name has not been released, is 27 years old, and was tracked down by medics shortly after the incident. Both she and the newborn boy are receiving medical care. The woman may face criminal charges when she is released from hospital. There are records of more than 1,500 infants having been illegally abandoned in the U.S., resulting in almost 900 deaths, according to the Save Abandoned Babies Foundation (SABF)....

Monet Izabeth, from Massachusetts, said she was told about the discovery via an out of the blue Facebook message. She was given permission to join a British Army trek up the mountain, which at 5,199m is the second-highest in Africa after Kilimanjaro. Izabeth is now sharing her incredible “real-life Indiana Jones adventure” online. Speaking in a series of TikTok clips detailing the trip, she said: “I went up with the British Army up Mount Kenya on an expedition to rediscover my uncle’s long lost plane crash from WWII....

However, now that the first reviews for Wolfenstein: The New Order have hit, it appears that, despite prior concerns, MachineGames was able to deliver a competent shooter with surprisingly strong character work. B.J. Blazkowicz’s latest journey may not be without flaws, but as another intriguing next-gen title it apparently delivers. Boasting an alternate history timeline that encourages two full playthroughs, some unique riffs on stealth, and plenty of Nazi-killing goodness, Wolfenstein: The New Order might just be the other must-play title for May....

Most people have at least one impacted wisdom tooth, meaning it doesn’t have enough room to grow naturally. By getting your wisdom teeth removed—either because of an impaction or because they have the potential to cause issues—you can ensure they don’t damage the surrounding teeth and bones. What Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery? Wisdom teeth removal surgery is an outpatient procedure that is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon....

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani initiated the Sino-Iranian agreement in 2016 in the wake of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which lifted American economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic. Approved by the Iranian cabinet last June, the agreement promises an expansion of the Chinese presence in banking and telecommunications as well as in railways, ports and other infrastructure projects in Iran. The agreement includes deeper Sino-Iranian military, cyber, intelligence and technology cooperation....

Yet, rather than doing their job of governing the country and addressing these problems, Democrats are working on the final, most destructive movement—paving the way for Bernie Sanders’ multi-trillion-dollar, tax-and-spend legislation, and burning down the U.S. Senate by eliminating the filibuster to ram through their partisan takeover of elections and mass amnesty legislation. The Democrats in charge of our country aren’t the “grown-ups” they claimed to be in the 2020 elections....
