Anderson will have his first opportunity to see if last season's struggles were an aberration or a sign of things to come when the new-look Razorbacks travel to Spain next week for a four-game exhibition schedule against European competition. The Razorbacks have... Читать дальше...

The author, raised in Kingston, Jamaica, sets her story in 1994, in (fictional) River Bank, a former fishing village just outside Montego Bay where wealthy European tourists see one side of local life: luxurious, extravagant, catering to their every whim. Real estate developers view the land as the future sites of grand resorts. The workers return home each night “to their shabby neighborhoods, away from the fantasy they help create about a country where they are as important as washed-up seaweed.”... Читать дальше...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — University of New Mexico officials told state lawmakers Thursday that the school has taken measures to streamline a once inadequate and complicated system for investigating sexual assault on campus, while improving communication among departments tasked with handling the cases.

Dear Book Reviewer: Tell me — why should I read a collection of advice columns? I like reading one every once in a while, but wouldn’t column after column get tedious? Am I really in need of that much advice? While Sugar calls her readers “Sweetpea,” Polly may just call you a name I can’t repeat in a family paper. [...] there is real love behind her tough love — as Polly, Havrilesky only wants her readers to wake up, to get over themselves, to be mensches instead of jerks.

Ellen Griesedieck and her American Mural Project were awarded a $1 million matching state grant to help transform two old mill buildings in Winsted, one of Connecticut's first mill towns, into a visitors center and gallery space to house a 3-D mural 120-feet-long and 10-feet-wide. Since Griesedieck envisioned the project 15 years ago, she has held workshops with 10,000 students across the country and gotten support from both little- and well-known names, including personal friend and actor Paul Newman, Mohammad Ali and tennis pro Andre Agassi.

Niners defensive tackle Kaleb Ramsey, who was dogged by injuries throughout his college and NFL career, announced his retirement today. Ramsey, 27, was a 2014 seventh-round draft pick who didn’t play a snap in his two seasons with the 49ers. In 2015, he spent the majority of the season on the practice squad and served a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s drug policy. The right tackle has applied for reinstatement to the NFL after leaving the league in 2015 for health reasons.

Biting off a topic as daunting as Roman cuisine might seem foolhardy at first glance, but in “As the Romans Do” (Octopus Publishing; $29.99), Eleonora Galasso, food writer and blogger, manages to offer “classic and reinvented recipes from Rome,” as well as a recipe for the ingredients that make up the Eternal City itself. Savvy and fun observations about the city — and its culturally captivating residents — make up the beginning of each chapter and are worth reading even if you’re not into cooking. Читать дальше...

(AP) — State officials plan to remove tens of millions of dollars' worth of art work and artifacts from Connecticut's Old State House, which has been closed to the public amid the state's budget problems. The 220-year-old landmark was shuttered at the end of last month, when control of it shifted from the state Office of Legislative Management to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which runs 109 state parks. Dennis Schain, a spokesman for the DEEP, said that agency does... Читать дальше...

CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Sounds of water surround me: the pitter-patter of light rain hitting my jacket, the whoosh of waterfalls cascading down the emerald mountains, the splash of small streams across my boot on the boggy path, the gurgle of saturated earth springing back after my foot lifts from the trail on my long walk. There’s actually an easier route — a 7-mile sea crossing from the port town of Mallaig, on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. [...] the truly dedicated take an 18-mile footpath across the Knoydart peninsula... Читать дальше...

Try to do both, and you end up with a flailing, unfunny wreck, like the mix of contradictory and self-defeating impulses that we find here. [...] in a speech addressing the PTA, Mila Kunis, as a mother of two, stands at the podium and drops f-bombs on the gathering, as — believe it or not — treacly music on the soundtrack lets us know that she is expressing lovely sentiments.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — This time, Bill Clinton will be the adoring spouse, rapt and smiling when the cameras cut away from the candidate in the spotlight. [...] satires and spoofs are circulating, taking note of Bill's fashion choices, accessories and hair style. Historian Carl Sferrazza Anthony, of the National First Ladies' Library, said that because the Bill-Hillary team is so well known to the nation, it may make the gender shift less startling than otherwise, if she wins. First gentleman, perhaps? Читать дальше...
