MINNEAPOLIS — Seventy games into this NBA season, remarkably, the Warriors still haven’t lost two straight. More than anything else, though, head coach Steve Kerr departed Target Center on Monday night savoring his team’s four-game lead over San Antonio atop the Western Conference. The Warriors survived a stiff challenge from Minnesota, escaping with a 109-104 victory. Golden State (63-7) must win 10 of its final 12 games — daunting but feasible — to break the league record of 72 victories set by the Chicago Bulls of 1995-96. Читать дальше...

Hornets deny Spurs their 60th victory of the season Eleven seconds into the second quarter, Charlotte Hornets head coach Steve Clifford called a timeout with his team trailing the San Antonio Spurs 30-7. Jeremy Lin answered that plea, scoring 15 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter to help host Charlotte rally for a 91-88 victory on Monday night, snapping the Spurs’ six-game winning streak and denying them their 60th win of the season. Though perhaps not quite “Linsanity II,” the 23-point lead... Читать дальше...

Andy made the impossible happen, time and again, and inspired generations of technologists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders. Named Time Magazine’s Man of the Year in 1997, Mr. Grove led Intel as it became a $25 billion company and was considered the person most responsible for propelling the power of the microchip.

WASHINGTON — Occupants of 11,000 new single-family houses under construction near Tracy will be able to recycle their shower, bath, laundry and sink water on site using a system designed by Australian water engineers, one of dozens of new water technologies the White House will showcase at its big “water summit” Tuesday. Hoping to leapfrog a Congress still trying to wring more water out of California’s over-drafted rivers, the Obama administration wants to replicate for water the push it made on... Читать дальше...

A San Mateo County couple went on vacation in Africa this winter, bought what they thought was an innocent keepsake — and promptly found themselves locked up in Tanzania on charges of poaching, facing up to 20 years in prison and a $150,000 fine. Jon and Linda Grant had to shell out $62,000 on fines and bribes and get the help of a U.S. congresswoman before they finally won their freedom and wound up back on United States soil in January. “It’s one of the most harrowing travel experiences I’ve heard in a long time,” said Speier...

Underwood matched Ford's NCAA Tournament win total this year with an opening-round win over Big 12 member West Virginia. "There's not enough adjectives to describe how excited I am for the opportunity to coach where some of the greatest coaches in the history of college basketball have cut their teeth," Underwood said. The fan support, the noise and the home-court advantage is what I remember most about Gallagher-Iba Arena, and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of that now. Underwood, the... Читать дальше...

"How is it that a screaming child, saying 'I want to stay, I'm scared,' how is in her best interest to pull her from the girl she was before that doorbell rang?" he told KNX-AM radio. In a statement, the National Indian Child Welfare Association said the Pages were aware for years that the girl was an American Indian but chose to "drag out litigation as long as possible, creating instability for the child."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal authorities are searching for a flight attendant they say bolted from a security screening at Los Angeles International Airport, leaving behind about 70 pounds of cocaine stashed in her luggage.

(AP) — Andy Grove, the former Intel Corp. chief executive whose youth under Nazi occupation and escape from the Iron Curtain inspired an "only the paranoid survive" management philosophy that saved the chip maker from financial ruin in the 1980s, has died. Grove's bet-the-company gamble — moving Intel from memory chips to microprocessors in the mid-1980s to serve what was still a fledgling PC industry — helped rescue Intel from a financial crisis and set it on course to becoming one of the most...

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil's state-run oil company, Petrobras, reported a record quarterly loss of $10.2 billion Monday due to a large reduction in the value of some assets amid lower oil prices.

Brazil also is mired in its worst recession in decades, and it is ground zero for the Zika virus outbreak that has spread across the Americas as Rio de... Читать дальше...
