13 hurt in D.C. shooting

After 13 were hurt in a D.C. shooting, police are looking for signs of a connection to another drive-by shooting in the same Northwest neighborhood last October.   Police say 13 people were hurt, one critically, when gunmen in a speeding car opened fire on a crowd standing outside an apartment building in northwest Washington, D.C. early Monday.

The police released the surveillance video to the public in hopes of gathering information on the gunmen. Police said shots came from at least one of the two cars.

Ex-NBA player banned

Ex-NBA player Renaldo Balkman has been banned from playing basketball in the Philippines after choking his teammate during a game last week. On March 11, Yahoo! News reported that action has been taken against Balkman, who used to play for the Knicks and the Nuggest here in The States. As previously reported, Balkman got heated when a ref wouldn't hear him out on a play that he believed should have been a foul call. When his teammate Arwind Santos stepped in and tried to calm Balkman down, the two shoved each other a bit. Unexpectedly, Balkman put his two hands around Santos' throat and "choked" him. The ex-NBA player was banned and also fined $6,100 for his actions. Many people wondered if he would get a suspension and/or a fine, but no one really expected him to get banned from the league. He did apologize to Santos a couple of times on Twitter, but violence cannot be tolerated no matter how "heated" the moment may be. Balkman ch

longest female legs

Of all the strange pseudo-celebrities to come and go in the world of high school athletics, few can boast a more unique “talent” than Svetlana Pankratova. The former Russian women’s basketball player is now an assistant coach at Falls Church (Va.) George Mason High, but she’ll never be known for his skill as a hoops coach. Svetlana Pankratova, the woman with the longest legs in history — Getty That’s because Pankratova has a much more distinct physical trait that dominates practically any and all conversations about her: She has the longest legs of any woman in history. As reported by the Washington Post’s The State of NoVa blog, as well as BuzzFeed and other outlets, Pankratova married a Falls Church resident, Jack Gosnell, and took a position as an assistant coach at George Mason High, one of the state’s top girls basketball programs. The George Mason Mustangs were recently eliminated from the state playoffs in the semifinals. If anything, being a girls basketball coach s
