LAS VEGAS (AP) — The NBA may finally be one step closer on the long road to expansion.Saying owners have a “curiosity” about the notion, Commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday that the league will now study the issue more formally as part of an in-depth analysis, which would be the first official move in a long process toward adding franchises.There’s no timetable for how long the process will take, nor have any decisions been made on what the expansion fee will be, when the new teams will start play — or even if expansion is going to actually happen.“A lot…

French-Owen said he didn’t leave because of any “drama,” but because he wants to get back to being a startup founder. He was a co-founder of customer data startup Segment, which was bought by Twilio in 2020 for…

And though I’ve never liked the idea of a TV in the bedroom, there are evenings when all I want to do is crawl into bed and watch reality TV.But I do way more than just watch TV in bed with my LG StanbyME. I bring it into the bathroom to watch movies while I take a bath. I play recipe videos on it while I cook. I even take…
Gabriel House had seen better days.The 100-unit assisted-living facility that burned Sunday night, killing nine people so far, opened in 1999 in Fall River, Massachusetts. Some photos on its Facebook page show neat rooms but older-looking carpeting and furniture. Her granddaughter didn’t like the assisted-living center, but 86-year-old Eleanor Willett wanted something that left her money to play the slots at a casino. She earned too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford a higher-priced assisted-living facility, Holly Mallowes told The Associated Press Tuesday.“She said, ‘I don’t need much, but a roof over my head and someplace…
