MACAO — NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Friday the WNBA could be next to play games in China. Silver spoke exclusively with CNBC courtside from the first of two NBA games in Macao. “We have to get through a new collective bargaining agreement with our players,” he said. “But once we do, there’s so much interest in women’s basketball here, I think we’d love to bring a WNBA game to Macao or to mainland China.” The games this weekend mark the NBA’s return to China after a six-year hiatus. The league is actively trying to grow its footprint in its No. 2 market,…

She won a staggering judgment — later reversed on appeal — in a lawsuit alleging he defrauded banks by overstating…
Popular narratives and conventional wisdom are sometimes right. Heck, Occam’s razor suggests that the simplest explanation is more likely than the more complex one to be correct. Of course, Occam — who wasn’t actually called Occam, but was rather a 14th-century Franciscan monk who happened to be from a village named Ockham, a few miles down the road from Chelsea’s training ground — lived in a world without sports and, specifically, football. So take it with a pinch of salt.Here’s a look at some popular recent narratives and how they stack up.’Liverpool’s somewhat disappointing early-season performances and results are largely…

The 120-pound (55-kilogram) eastern black rhino was born earlier this month to 22-year-old mother Kibibbi and 25-year-old father Forrest at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

In recent days, Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, invited far-right extremist Tommy Robinson to visit Israel. This was not diplomatic courtesy, but an ideological embrace. Chikli hailed Robinson as “a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people” and praised him as “a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam”. He vowed on X (formerly Twitter) that together, they would “build stronger bridges of solidarity, fight terror, and defend Western civilization”. But this is not solidarity. It is strategy – and a dangerous one. Israel is openly aligning itself with the European far…
When snow covers the frozen ground, and most South Dakota farmers have sold or stored their products for the season, the operators of Cedar Creek Gardens are still able to grow vegetables and harvest a lucrative crop.Located in a remote area southwest of Murdo, about 12 miles south of Interstate 90, the sprawling farm is one of dozens in the state that utilize what are called farm tunnels to extend the planting and growing seasons.The tunnels are fortified above-ground hoop buildings covered in plastic that capture heat from the sun, creating a greenhouse effect. Many of the tunnels at Cedar…
