The Warriors finished March with a league-best 16-2 record, eclipsing the previous record for most win in a month of 15 (Jan 1960). Golden State registered a number of records this month: they won their first Pacific Division title since clinching back to back division title from 1975-1977, they registered a franchise record for road wins (27) and overall (61). The last time this Bay Area franchise locked the best seed in the NBA and the Division title was way back in 1975....

The familiar surroundings of the city that had been her home for 53 years were now where she could be killed at any moment by an invading force. War makes the surreal suddenly real. “We had to rethink everything very quickly.” Iryna did not want her surname used for her and her family’s safety. For the same reason, two other women from the city in the Zaporizhzhia oblast who spoke to Newsweek wanted to use aliases....

The League Cup triumph against Arsenal last season kicked off City’s run of historic Wembley wins. The 3-1 victory against Tottenham in April eventually turned out to be the day City clinched the title after rivals United succumbed to defeat against West Bromwich Albion. The Community Shield final in early August saw City dispatch Chelsea 2-0 in Maurizio Sarri’s first game in charge of the Blues. City played the Spurs again in October, but this time on a dreadful Wembley pitch due to a closely-scheduled NFL game....

The Steelers traded a late-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals for underachieving offensive lineman Levi Brown, while the Baltimore Ravens parted ways with fourth- and fifth-round picks in the 2014 draft in order get left tackle Eugene Monroe from the Jacksonville Jaguars so that they can replace veteran Bryant McKinnie. Evidently, it was a day meant to fortify the ranks up front in the AFC North. MORE: Desperate Steelers trade for Brown | Ravens acquire Monroe | Week 5 picks...

The Cardinals announced Monday they are releasing the veteran wide receiver just three weeks into 2019. Arizona signed Crabtree to a one-year deal in August and he wasn’t very productive while with the team. Crabtree totaled four receptions for 22 yards in two appearances with Arizona during its 0-2-1 start to the season. Before signing with the Cardinals, Crabtree spent time with the Ravens, Raiders and 49ers. The 2009 first-round pick eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in 2012 and 2016....

Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves raised the proposition of a single item referendum asking citizens of St. Vincent and the Grenadines whether the queen should remain head of state in parliament on Monday. The referendum would see residents of the islands, which include Mustique, decide whether to continue with the queen as their head of state or whether to appoint an “executive president.” Gonsalves told his government, per The Times, that the vote on whether to become a fully independent republic would “complete the national democratic task....

There’s not much of a doubt that Carlos Correa is one of the better defensive shortstops in the game — let alone best all-around shortstops — but this play is a different level of ridiculous. Going back on a blooper as an infielder is difficult, but Correa proved, eh, maybe not so much. MORE: Did you see this Mike Trout bomb? The way he contorts his body to get to the ball is impressive....

Several players got a chance to play in a qualifier when those opportunities don’t always come as Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio prepares for Sunday’s match against the United States and the Confederations Cup just after that. Mexico stays fresh in win ahead of U.S. showdown Before looking ahead to those upcoming matches, let’s look back at five things to take away from Friday’s qualifier… Vela the key for Mexico’s attack this summer The attention might still be drawn by Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, but it’s up to Carlos Vela to lead the line for Mexico this summer....

Very reminiscent of what we saw from Seth Rollins on Monday, Banks and Bayley cut a promo Friday where they blamed everyone in the locker room (but themselves) for SmackDown’s loss at Survivor Series. This led to Lacey Evans making her way to the ring to respond: Evans may have gotten a chant from the crowd, but the Staten Island Princess was seemingly not a fan of the segment. In fact, she took to Twitter to beg for an opportunity to cut a promo of her own....

The Knicks star apologized and tried to explain why he didn’t join the rest of his USA Basketball teammates in their spirited rendition of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” over the weekend. MORE: Who could give Team USA the biggest challenge in Rio? Anthony blamed his apparent grumpiness during the team’s group sing-a-long on early morning hours. “They know I don’t like early mornings,” Anthony told NBA TV following Team USA’s 110-66 win over Nigeria on Monday....

Zlatan and Pogba come up big for Man Utd However, Carrasco is adamant nothing has changed between the squad and Simeone - and the Argentine retains their respect. “I always see [Simeone] the same,” he told Marca. “He is a winner and has made the team united....

Ashton, a first-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2009 who has no points in three NHL games this season, attributed the failed test to asthma medication he used twice during training camp. Ashton’s statement, via the NHLPA: “I now recognize that I ingested Clenbuterol, a prohibited substance, through the inhaler. However, at no time was I seeking to gain an athletic advantage or to knowingly violate the terms of the program....

Tarwinder Shokar says he lost about $342,000 during an October 2013 trip to Caesars Windsor Resort and Casino. He is suing the casino and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission (OLG) for his losses, in addition to punitive damages of $500,000 (around $381,000 U.S.), according to a Thursday report in The Windsor Star. The lawsuit was not filed long after the gambling took place, but the case was only recently transferred to the Superior Court of Justice in Windsor....

It appears that someone has had a change of heart. Or at least that’s how it seems now that certain segments of the Roman Catholic hierarchy are behaving like wholly owned subsidiaries of the Republican Party, hellbent on a course that will weaken the church’s moral authority and eventually deplete its membership. And all because of abortion, the issue the celibate male leadership is least equipped to personally understand....

Ringworm Cats can get ringworm (dermatophysis)—which is a fungus (not a worm at all). The clearest and most common clinical signs of feline ringworm include the following: circular areas of hair loss, broken and stubbly hair, scaling or crusty skin, alterations in hair or skin color, inflamed areas of skin, excess grooming and scratching, infected claws or nail beds, and dandruff. In humans, ringworm causes scaly, red, ring-shaped patches on the skin....

While the exact cause of carcinoid tumors is unknown, these tumors might occur because of DNA mutations, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Certain groups, including women, Black Americans, and older adults, are at higher risk of developing carcinoid tumors. Causes While healthy cells normally die over time, unusual mutations enable them to grow and divide uncontrollably. As these mutated cells accumulate, they grow into clumps of cells known as tumors and may invade nearby tissues (metastasize)....
