SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A crucial deal for Yahoo has hit a snag after the IRS refused to bless the Internet company's proposed spinoff of its $23 billion stake in Alibaba Group as a tax-free transaction. Despite the rebuff, Yahoo emphasized Tuesday that the IRS didn't rule out the possibility that the spinoff could still be completed without triggering taxes on the profits that the company has accumulated from its initial $1 billion investment in Alibaba, which runs some of China's most popular online services.

I’m not getting the feeling that Ben Carson — the retired Republican neurosurgeon who wants to be president — really gets Silicon Valley. Or, “Sili-CONE” Valley, as the good doctor pronounced it Tuesday during his post-Commonwealth Club chat press conference. Give Carson points for this: Unlike his GOP rivals, at least he didn’t shamelessly pander to

Leonardo Matos Berrido, president of the Dominican Baseball League, said the cause was diabetes complications. Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano, who like Andujar is from San Pedro de Macoris, wrote on his Instagram account that Andujar's death was a "big pain for all baseball fans, especially all Dominicans, but even more so for all of us who had the chance to know you and learn from your example."

Washington State tries to rebound from tough opening loss Washington State's 24-17 loss in Pullman on Saturday was the first time the Cougars have lost to an opponent from the lower-division FCS.

Gere plays one in "Time Out of Mind," a movie that he shot almost entirely on the streets of Manhattan — in East Village back allies, among the trash cans outside Grand Central Station and inside the Houston Street bar he's returned to in order to reflect on an unusually spare and neo-realistic movie, one Gere has wanted to make for more than a decade. Inspired by the photography of Saul Leiter, director Oren Moverman (The Messenger, Rampart) frequently shot Gere from far away, hiding the camera... Читать дальше...

A few thoughts on last night’s game… — Braxton Miller might be the most intriguing prospect on a loaded roster. This was his first game at receiver after converting from quarterback. Urban Meyer had him do a bit of everything — not dissimilar to the way he used Percy Harvin at Florida. He ran for […]
