ESPN
The NBA has reached out to multiple alternative host cities as it considers its options for the 2017 All-Star Game in February in Charlotte, North Carolina, sources told ESPN.com. The league hadn't made a final decision as of Thursday morning but was moving closer to pulling out of Charlotte because of its objection to North Carolina House Bill 2, which limited anti-discrimination protections in the state.
Pew Research Center
The long-standing digital divide in internet use between Latinos and whites is now at its narrowest point since 2009 as immigrant Latinos and Spanish-dominant Latinos make big strides in going online, according to newly released results from Pew Research Center's 2015 National Survey of Latinos. Meanwhile, broadband use among Latinos is little changed since 2010.
