LONDON (AP) — The Duchess of Cambridge seems to like her first official portrait, which is lucky for the artist. Many critics don’t. Paul Emsley’s portrait of the former Kate Middleton shows the 31-year-old royal against a dark background, her lips pursed into a wry smile, with an ethereal light against her face and hair. Her pale complexion brings out the fine lines under the eyes, and the light adds a hint of silver to her rich brown hair. Shortly after the portrait was unveiled Friday at the National Portrait Gallery in London, criti...

FOXBORO,Mass. (AP) — Bill Belichick insists the rematch of a December game with the Texans will be different. Not too much different, of course, because he fully expects his Patriots to win the divisional-round playoff game and advance to the AFC title match. As for another 42-14 outcome, New England’s coach is having none of it. “The plays will match up differently and I’m sure there will be new plays that weren’t in that game,” Belichick said.

I know this is an incredibly controversial topic in which people have their own opinions, thoughts and ideas. These are mine, not meant to offend anyone or anger anyone, but rather possibly make someone think a little bit. Please remember this is my view and I do not expect anyone to understand or agree with me. So much talk about guns and gun control due to yet another shooting at a school, yet another. And then there is all the coverage about the man who decided to take his guns to the movies in Colorado. Of course this coverage comes in betw...
