Ontario Christian opened the season ranked No. 1 in the country and Griffin is one reason why. The 5-foot-11 forward was named 2024-25 MaxPreps national freshman of the year after helping the Knights go 30-2 and knock off Etiwanda 65-63 to win the Southern Section Open Division crown before losing to the Eagles 67-62 in the Open Division regional finals. Griffin had 29 points and 11 rebounds in the first game and added 16 points and 10 rebounds in the rematch last March.

Two meets into the season, ninth-ranked UCLA gymnastics has set an unforgiving standard for execution. They know their routines must be virtually perfect in order to avoid reductions from the judges. "That's really where our mindset is at," UCLA coach Janelle McDonald said. "We want to continue to learn and grow from the things that we've already experienced and really put in the work to be the best team that we're capable of being."

We are a multidisciplinary team at Women's Link, and we have experts in gender, violence, human rights, public policies and mental health. We have approached the case from a very comprehensive perspective, not only a legal one. The women have safeguarding plans. After talking to them, my understanding is that, at this complex time, they are placing their faith in the justice system in Spain.

Nellie attended Oakland High School when her family moved to a neighborhood outside of Chinatown after World War II, the beginnings of integration for ethnic Chinese residents who'd lived under the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882-1943). Her early life, into her late 20s, was rooted in the patriarchal culture in Chinatown and the white American mainstream. That oppression did not sustain her. Nellie's intelligence, creativity, and compassion yearned to break free.

March Madness is the big picture of the college basketball season, but the day-to-day challenges of January are key in putting that picture together. Especially in the talent-loaded SEC, which currently has nine AP-ranked teams battling each other for supremacy, while also trying to stave off upset attempts. One such powerhouse meeting comes Thursday: Texas -- coming off its first loss of the season, at LSU -- travels to South Carolina (ESPN2, 7 p.m. ET).

A little more than midway through the 2025-26 regular season in women's college basketball, UConn and sophomore Sarah Strong remain the favorites to win the NCAA title and national player of the year award -- just as they were before the season tipped off in early November. As great as Bueckers was at UConn, the Huskies are still lethal. The star combination of Strong and guard Azzi Fudd leads a deep squad that has a good chance at the program's seventh perfect season.

A guy recently commented on a picture of me and said, 'You look pregnant in that dress.' And he deleted this comment because I had a great comeback, but I wanted to do it again for you all.

Estrogen and progesterone do more than regulate the menstrual cycle. They directly influence how the digestive system works, affecting gut movement, water balance, gas production, and sensitivity. When these hormones rise and fall during the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, or bloating in menopause , digestion often becomes unpredictable. Understanding how this happens helps explain why bloating and discomfort follow hormonal patterns.

Kiran's* husband was more than 10,000km away from the home she shared with her in-laws in a village in northern India. But despite the vast distance, he watched her constantly through cameras which beamed into a screen in his Brisbane home. He would say: I can always see what you do', she recalls through an interpreter. While her husband was visiting his family home in India in 2017, the cameras were installed in the house

While I'm disappointed I couldn't play this season, I'll be rooting for the Phantom,

Since its founding, Supermajority has contacted more than 20 million women voters, organizing for candidates including Democratic Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Katie Hobbs of Arizona and Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, as well as for then-Vice President Kamala Harris' unsuccessful presidential bid last year. The group plans to connect its volunteers with other organizations that do grassroots organizing work, starting with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

The gender pay gap in the UK has narrowed since 1997, but it hasn't disappeared. As of April 2025, women still earn 12.8% less than men, according to the Office for National Statistics. The reasons are structural: women are overrepresented in lower-paid roles such as nursing and teaching, and underrepresented in higher-paid sectors. Even graduates who studied the same subjects see pay diverge early, with men out-earning women soon after entering the workforce.

Hysteria was long attributed to a wandering uterus. The earliest text blaming women's reproduction for illness was the Kahun Gynaecological Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1900 BC. Women's wombs were blamed for things like choking, cognitive deficits and the inability to speak, and paralysis. Treatments for women were always nonsurgical: swallowing medicine or rubbing it on the body; fumigating the womb with oils or incense.

Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel Anthony Tata wrote in a memo last month that the effort is to determine the "operational effectiveness of ground combat units 10 years after the Department lifted all remaining restrictions on women serving in combat roles." Tata requested Army and Marine leaders to provide data on the readiness, training, performance, casualties and command climate of ground combat units and personnel.

Have you ever doubted your knowledge or expertise? Noticed, if you're a woman, that you receive less recognition than your male colleagues do, that your ideas were unheard in a discussion until they were echoed by a man - who then received credit for them? Have you observed a gendered division of labour in your workplace; a pay gap; gender, racial or class prejudices? Have you felt pressured to choose between being a wife, a mother and a scientist? Most women in science have.

I was raised by entrepreneurs, but I never wanted to be one. Instead, I saw myself in a big corner office in the city. I started climbing the corporate ladder, but being laid off twice showed me that a corporate career wasn't as secure as I thought. I started freelancing, and soon opened a marketing agency called No Subject. We focused on events and influencers, back when we were still calling them bloggers.

After an offseason filled with transfers, coaching changes and rule alterations, NCAA gymnastics officially makes its triumphant return. And, of course, there are so many questions and storylines heading into the 2026 season. Will Oklahoma continue its dominance and win the national championship yet again? Can LSU, Florida, UCLA, Utah or anyone else challenge the Sooners in April? What rule changes will be felt the most?

Indya Nivar had 16 points and six assists, Nyla Harris had 13 points, 10 rebounds and five steals as No. 16 North Carolina beat California 71-55 on Sunday.
