The pleasures of Francois Ozon’s “Double Lover” are entirely on the order of “Wow. He actually did that.” The first example of this is the movie’s very first shot: The screen is filled with a mysterious landscape of human viscera. And then the shot pulls back, and we realize that we have been looking at a vagina as seen through a speculum. Then Ozon tops this. The vagina turns into an eye — the eye of young Chloe (Marine Vacth), who has gone to the doctor because her stomach keeps hurting. Читать дальше...

Metallica frontman James Hetfield will be trading in his guitar for a police badge. No, Hetfield isn’t joining law enforcement, but rather he’ll be featured in the upcoming Ted Bundy biopic “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, And Vile,” according to a Monday announcement. The Grammy-winning artist will be playing Officer Bob Hayward, a no-nonsense Utah highway patrol veteran who was the first officer to arrest Bundy in 1975 after pulling the killer over and discovering burglary tools in his car but wisely suspecting much worse.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump's infrastructure proposal (all times local): 1:30 p.m. President Donald Trump's infrastructure plan is receiving a frosty response from Democratic members of Congress. The president's plan would use $200 billion in federal money to leverage local and state investments. It also would change the permitting process to get projects underway more quickly.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican's sex abuse investigator has agreed to meet with a delegation of lay Catholics and priests from the Chilean diocese of Osorno who have opposed the appointment of a bishop at the center of a scandal.

The (Champaign) News-Gazette reports that U.S. District Court Judge Colin Bruce set the date during a hearing Monday. Prosecutors announced Jan. 19 they would seek capital punishment.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — "LOVE" will be taking to the streets of Philadelphia ahead of Valentine's Day. The famous 1976 Robert Indiana sculpture is returning to its home Tuesday — and will make a number of stops in a parade around Philadelphia before its reinstallation. The sculpture was removed for repairs a year ago while its home, a downtown park, was going through a renovation. The perennial tourist attraction and engagement photo backdrop will look a bit different upon its return. It's been repainted to the original colors of red... Читать дальше...

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho lawmakers have introduced two alternative tax cut plans to Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's $200 million tax relief package. The House Revenue and Taxation Committee agreed Monday to give the alternative tax proposals a full hearing later this session even though Otter's bill has already passed the House. One proposal — backed by Republican Rep. Vito Barbieri — slashes personal and corporate income tax rates, eliminates the sales tax on groceries and does not conform to recent federal tax changes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump's proposed 2019 budget (all times local): 1:25 p.m. The Trump administration's 2019 budget is renewing calls for repealing and replacing former President Barack Obama's health care law. But there's little evidence that Republican leaders have the appetite for another battle over "Obamacare." Repeal of the Affordable Care Act should happen "as soon as possible," say the budget documents. The Obama health law would be replaced with legislation... Читать дальше...

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft is pushing for increased broadband and technology funding for public libraries. The Columbia Missourian reports that Ashcroft spoke with committee members at a state budget hearing last week about his office's appropriations and the Remote Electronic Access for Libraries Program.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle's booming tech industry has brought a massive influx of new residents with big wallets to the city. But an ensuing housing crunch has led to skyrocketing rents and home prices that have strained middle- and working-class families and deepened the city's homelessness crisis. To keep construction humming and help people of all incomes stay, city officials have come up with what's dubbed the "grand bargain": Let developers build taller and denser in core areas across the city...

CINCINNATI (AP) — A white nationalist's plan to speak on the University of Cincinnati campus during spring break has been scuttled by a legal standoff over the Ohio school's demand for a security fee of nearly $11,000, an attorney for Richard Spencer said Monday. Attorney Kyle Bristow told The Associated Press that Spencer's tour organizer, Cameron Padgett, is now hoping that the appearance can be rescheduled for summer or fall. The University of Cincinnati president confirmed in a message Monday... Читать дальше...

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Missouri Board of Education has now missed two of 11 meetings scheduled for this year because it still doesn't have enough members for a quorum. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the board has lacked a quorum since early January, when Gov. Eric Greitens withdrew and re-submitted his five appointees in an effort to buy more time for their Senate confirmations. Lawmakers upset with Greitens' move have threatened to hold up the appointments. The canceled... Читать дальше...

As the number of boutique hotels, hip restaurants and upscale wineries grows in Paso Robles, so does the average cost of a wine tasting weekend there. Fortunately, there are still a host of diversions that are free (or seriously cheap) to make the visit a little more reasonable. Here are a few options: Town Square City Park: For those visiting with or without children, Paso’s 4.8-acre downtown park is a must. Parents can watch comfortably from nearby (or join in) as children enjoy the gem of a new playground.

NEW YORK (AP) — In the span of a decade, Chobani went from being in just one supermarket to becoming the country's best-selling yogurt brand. It hasn't all been smooth — the company faces more competition than it used to, and has been embroiled in national debate over its open stance on refugees. As Chobani turns 10, CEO and founder Hamdi Ulukaya talked to The Associated Press about yogurt's place in online grocery delivery, products made from almonds and peas that are moving into the yogurt case and why the company is giving away free yogurts.

ZAATARI REFUGEE CAMP, Jordan (AP) — The head of the U.N. refugee agency on Monday appealed to the United States and other nations to take in more displaced people, speaking from a camp for Syrian refugees in Jordan, one of the main host countries. Filippo Grandi also said that the number of Syrians being deported from Jordan to their war-ravaged homeland "decreased dramatically" in recent months, in part because of his agency's appeal for more careful reviews of cases. Jordan is believed to have... Читать дальше...

Struggling through tears, the mother of an 8-year-old who was abducted from a Florida Walmart and later raped and killed said the man accused of the crime had convinced her he was a good Samaritan who was trying to help her family out. Rayne Perrywinkle sat facing 61-year-old defendant Donald Smith in a Jacksonville courtroom, and testified about the day her daughter, Cherish Perrywinkle, disappeared. Smith is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and rape. If convicted, he faces a possible death sentence. Читать дальше...

It’s easy to understand why choreographer KT Nelson felt compelled to create a dance to Joby Talbot’s “Path of Miracles.” His 70-minute a capella work for 17 voices is soaring, heartrending and spectacularly beautiful. Talbot wrote “Path” for the London vocal ensemble Tenebrae in 2005, but he devoted it to the memory of his father, who died that year. The music aches with longing and rumination on the ineffable. Nelson, the co-artistic director of ODC/Dance, heard the score in 2015 and felt transported. Читать дальше...

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Latest on white nationalist's plan to speak at University of Cincinnati (all times local): 12:50 p.m. The University of Cincinnati's president has confirmed in a message to the school community that a white nationalist's plan to speak on campus during spring break is no longer an option.
