DALLAS (AP) — Brittney Griner and her Phoenix Mercury teammates were confronted by a "provocateur" at a Dallas airport on Saturday.The WNBA said in a statement it was looking into the team's run-in with a “social media figure" whose “actions were inappropriate and unfortunate.”“The safety of Brittney Griner and all WNBA players is our top priority," the league said, without specifying what exactly happened.Before the season started, the league had discussed with Griner's representatives and the Mercury security concerns when the All-Star center traveled for road games after she returned from detainment in Russia. The thought was that the highly publicized case compromised her and others' safety. The league granted Griner permission to book her own charter flights.The WNBA added charter flights for the playoffs this season, but only a handful of back-to-back regular-season games were scheduled for such flights.WNBA teams have flown commercially during the regular ...These are the safest suburbs in 2023, study says.

SAN DIEGO (KSWB) -- A San Diego-based slow jams radio DJ has spent his life visiting every country in the world. Now, Randy "R Dub!" Williams is the "sultan" of his own "country," tucked away right here in the United States.Over the course of about a decade, Williams visited every single UN-recognized nation, from the regular tourist favorites to some of the world's most elusive destinations, like North Korea and Venezuela, to South Sudan and Somalia. Ahead of crossing off the 193th country on his list, the radio personality was looking for a new frontier to explore. That's when he visited a "micronation," or a self-declared territory, in Nevada known as the "Republic of Molossia."That visit cemented his next mission: to found his own country.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WGHP) — It's probably not something they teach at the nation's elite business schools: open a cafe, let people pay what they can, and give away tens of thousands of meals each year. But it's working for Maggie Kane.“We’ve been here for 5-and-a-half years, which is wild," says Kane about her cafe, A Place at the Table, on Hargett Street in downtown Raleigh. "Am I surprised? I’m surprised, every single day, by just how beautiful this place is. I’m surprised that it’s worked, that it’s continued to work and I’m grateful.” A large percentage of restaurants close, each year, even in relatively good times so, when the pandemic came and closed everything in North Carolina under government order, Maggie didn't know what they'd do, at first.“We actually became a serving line out here, so we just passed out meals, everything was free, we had a line upwards of 450 people, every single day,” she says. And when asked how they could afford that, she replies, “Whew! A lot of amazin...One suspect in fatal Austin, Minn., drive-by shooting taken into custody
