TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Black players were next to white players. Coaches from one team were next to their compatriots from the opposing side. Many locked arms with the man next to them, some shut their eyes tightly, a few including LeBron James briefly raising a fist into the air or pointing skyward. The NBA had a strong, powerful re-opening night message. When it comes to demanding change, the league stands united — and Thursday, the four teams that played on the first night of the le...
JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer NEW YORK (AP) - When historians look back on the top films at the box office in the summer of 2020, they may feel like they've slipped into a time warp, or maybe "Back to the Future."

FALLBROOK – Many homeowners wish for expansive kitchens. Modernized kitchens that include sought after features and showcase the latest trends go a long way to improving the overall value of a home. As desirable as such kitchens may be, some homes simply don't have enough space for a centerfold-worthy kitchen featuring an island, wine refrigerator and walk-in pantry. Homeowners with small kitchens can still improve the form and function of their existing spaces, however. R...

Gavin Newsom. At the time, the church accused the stat...

Dougherty Grove would have subdivided 22.02 acres on the south side of Dougherty Street at...
