In his new book, Arranging Things, interior stylist Colin King collected images from his past work, his greatest hits, and even his iPhone to distill them into one highly teachable book that will make you want to stop scrolling and start marking pages with Post-its. Photography by Adrian Gaut Sure, the coffee-table tome is a yearbook of sorts for King, who has styled the homes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Drake for shoots—and just launched a new Japanese- and French-inspired collection with Beni Rugs. But his book is also a guide on how to artfully arrange your own home. “I just...
By DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer PHOENIX — Mark DeRosa said last week that one of his most important jobs as United States manager during the World Baseball Classic is making sure his players understand the tournament is a competition, not an exhibition. Just two games in, he sort of undercut his own message. “Obviously, I want nothing more (than) for these guys to repeat as champions and hold up the trophy,” DeRosa said following Sunday’s 11-5 loss to Mexico. “But I’m not going to do anything to jeopardize these guys’ big league careers.” Those two sentences are a good encapsulation of what makes the WBC such an intriguing, but frustrating endeavor.

ANURAK PONGPATIMET/ShutterstockAt the age of about four, children reach important milestones in brain development. One of these is a leap forward in understanding others’ thoughts and feelings. Another is in spatial thinking – understanding how objects are positioned and related. New research with my colleague Catherine Sayer shows there is a leap at four years in particular spatial skills, indicating, for example, the beginnings of the ability to read maps. We carried out a study with 175 two to five-year-olds to explore how children are able to use scale models to figure out where something is in the real world. At about four, children are able to use a scale model of a room to work out where something is....
