Doctors in Dublin, Ireland, treated a man who had been attempting to treat his back pain with injections of his own semen, HuffPost reported last week. A new study published in the Irish Medical Journal details the case of the 33-year-old man, who developed a subcutaneous abscess in his arm from the many semen injections. “He had devised this ‘cure’ independent of medical advice,” the study notes, perhaps unnecessarily.

A federal trailblazer retires FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Photos on the walls of Hubert Bell’s home in Alexandria tell a tale of a remarkable government career, showing him at the elbow of President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II and other historic dignitaries.

His presidential appointment letter by President Bill Clinton is alongside plaques, commendations and memorabilia from two generations of American political leaders. The respect he earned from the powerful was exemplified by his invitation last year to the funerals of former first lady Barbara Bush and president George H.W. Bush.

Despite his proximity to power, few would recognize his name or face. Bell’s 54 years of federal service — which included 29 years in the Secret Service followed by 22 years as the inspector general of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission — represent one of those rare Washington careers where not drawing attention signaled a job well done.

trailblazing agent in federal law enforcement officer circles for his persistent work to expand opportunities and advancement for hundreds of black, female and minority agents, investigators and agency leaders.

His advocacy included working to make the appraisal system more equitably value the undercover assignments of many black agents handling forgery and counterfeit cases, as it did the protective detail work done mostly by white agents.

LYNDA WILLIAMS, national vice president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, crediting Hubert Bell with encouraging her career development

Bell broke barriers in his own career, topped by his selection as the first black agent to head a vice presidential protective detail, protecting then-Vice President Bush.

On Dec. 31, Bell, 76, retired from his final post at the NRC. “The federal government is still a great place to work. I enjoyed all my assignments,” he says. “I’ve come a long way from South Bayou Street in Mobile, Alabama.”

For many who gathered to honor him at his retirement luncheon in Northwest D.C., Bell’s path to top jobs in the Secret Service is what cleared the way for their careers.

Alonzo Webb, who joined the Secret Service as an agent in 1977 and spent 23 years on the job, says that had Bell not spent years recruiting, people like him would not have had an opportunity. As agents, Webb says, Bell pushed them to band together to fight bias in an agency they all loved and chose to serve.

“We consider him the godfather of black agents,” Webb says.

“The only reason we made it into the Secret Service was because of Hubert Bell.” CLARENCE WILLIAMS

Fare jump veto overturned THE DISTRICT The D.C. Council voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to override Mayor Muriel Bowser’s veto of its legislation decriminalizing fare evasion on Metro. The 11-2 vote means the legislation now heads to Congress for final review.

A two-thirds majority was required to overrule Bowser, who issued a rare veto last week of the bill that reduces the penalty for fare evasion to a $50 civil infraction. Previously, the offense was a misdemeanor that carried a potential penalty of jail time and a fine up to $300.

Bowser expressed concern about the impact the legislation could have on Metro’s bottom line, arguing it could exacerbate the agency’s revenue problems and create potential safety issues.

Metro, its largest workers’ union, Council Chairman Phil Mendelson and Council member Jack Evans, who serves as Metro board chairman, all opposed the bill.

But the council overruled the mayor’s objections and rejected her argument that lessening the penalties for fare evasion would encourage potential “lawlessness,” and make Metro less safe.

“This bill does not say that crime is OK, similarly this bill does not eliminate all responsibilities or consequences for fare evasion and other behaviors,” Council Member Vincent Gray

D.C. Council overrides Mayor Bowser to lower punishment to a fine

Metro claims it loses more than $50 million annually to passengers who fail to pay their fares on buses and trains, though there is no exact figure.

said.

Metro had argued that it loses at least $25 million a year from passengers who Bowser fail to pay their bus fare, and combined with Metrorail fare evasion the total lost probably exceeds $50 million annually, though there is no exact figure. But fare evasion was not simply a financial concern, the agency argued. Similarly, Bowser’s opposition was not expressly on financial grounds.

Aid for the furloughed The D.C. Council passed emergency legislation Tuesday to protect federal workers and contractors from losing their homes as a result of the ongoing government shutdown. The bill would require judges to place stays on evictions and foreclosures if the resident can prove they are among the hundreds of thousands who have been furloughed or working without pay. It was the latest example of D.C.area officials moving to throw lifelines to constituents who are struggling during the shutdown. (TWP)

“We should not encourage lawlessness on Metro, which could exacerbate public safety concerns on our Metro and in our city,” Bowser wrote last week.

But activists, council members and criminal justice advocates rejected that line of thinking, likening it to “broken windows” policing, referring to the theory that policing minor offenses could prevent instances of more serious crime — which instead resulted in a disproportionately criminalized population without reducing the crime rate overall.

“There is no evidence that decriminalizing fare evasion will lead to an increase in crime or fare evasion,” Council Member David Grosso said. “The larger theory that informs that argument, broken windows theory, has been discredited.”

Proponents of the bill argued fare evasion enforcement was a problem of disproportionate policing and the penalties saddled offenders with potential lifelong consequences for neglecting to pay a $2 fare.

“With this vote, the Council has signaled that it will no longer tolerate the fundamental injustice of the current law,” said Nassim Moshiree, policy director for the ACLU of the District of Columbia. “We are especially grateful the Council has seen through the inflammatory rhetoric and fearmongering

by Mayor Bowser and [Metro], and has chosen fairness and equity for all D.C. residents.”

The drop in the cost of tuition next year at St. John’s College, which has dual campuses in Annapolis and Santa Fe, N.M. The liberal arts school slashed tuition from $52,734 in this school year to $35,000 in the next. As soaring tuition scares off many families, a growing number of private colleges have embraced a marketing tactic associated more with selling airline tickets or flat-screen televisions than higher education: a price cut. More than 20 other private institutions nationwide have reduced prices in the past three years.

St. John’s started pondering a shift in 2017, as its total charge for tuition, fees and room and board neared $70,000 a year. (TWP)

Panel vote dims hopes for Equal Rights Amendment

State House to livestream floor sessions next year

Police in Maryland said a man fired shots at a driver who parked in the suspect’s assigned space.

Howard County police said Tuesday that officers called to a Columbia neighborhood early Monday found a man visiting a friend who said a man told him to move his parked vehicle, then fired three shots. The driver wasn’t hit, but his vehicle was hit twice. Police said surveillance video showed a suspect, and they arrested 47-year-old Cornelius Harcum later in the day. They said the men didn’t know each other. Harcum was charged with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment and other offenses. (AP)

A proposal to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia has once again failed to make it out of a committee in the state’s House of Delegates. A subcommittee for the Republican-controlled Privileges and Elections Committee voted down the gender-equality measure Tuesday.

JOE DAVIDSON | THE WASHINGTON POST

Stop the madness: Dems must act if Trump doesn’t border wall,” said the House majority leader, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland. “The president and Republicans in Congress are taking the American people and the government hostage to achieve what they cannot through the democratic process and which they did not when they controlled all levers of government last year.”

Democratic arguments are mostly right and worthy. But is being right more important than the wrong being done to federal employees? Are worthy arguments worth more than the service outage hitting taxpayers? At some point the answer becomes no.

While Republicans talk of compromise, their position on funding the government makes that ring hollow. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky refuses to allow his chamber to consider agency-opening legislation Republicans previously approved because Trump objects. It is a gross dereliction of duty for both Trump and McConnell.

The onus is on them, but how long can we wait on them?

“I think both sides need to make a compromise and come off of their hardening positions,” said Mike Gayzagian, a transportation security officer in Boston, “and take the people who have nothing to do with it out of this fight.”

Democrats can take the high ground. Congressional Republicans won’t and Trump couldn’t find high ground with a map and an X marking the spot.

This shutdown madness must stop. President Trump proudly started it and he can end it.

But Trump can’t be counted on to do the right thing.

He has shown little empathy for the American people who have been denied service and the 800,000 wage-deprived federal employees, including those required to work during this partial government shutdown.

That raises a crucial question for Democrats: At what point do restoring public service and stopping the distressing toll on federal workers and others become more important than denying funding for Trump’s border wall? Federal employees will get back pay after the shutdown ends, but that doesn’t pay bills due today.

Listen to the Internal Revenue Service worker who cries at the thought of telling her son not to eat too much because his single mom is broke. Listen to the Department of Homeland Security employee wondering how she will make child care and mortgage payments.

Listen to the federal staffers standing in the cold for their turn in the free food line.

The time for Democrats to stop Trump’s shutdown is quickly approaching.

Make no mistake, there is no moral equivalency here.

Democrats are not the villain in this disgraceful soap opera.

They know this fight doesn’t stop with a few billion dollars for Trump’s wall.

“This is about more than a

Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi have said they won’t negotiate on border security until the government is reopened.

“We cannot allow the president to learn that every time he shuts down the government and punishes federal employees he gets rewarded with what he wants.”

to work, but don’t want to give in to Trump’s bad policies and tactics. American Federation of Government Employees President J. David Cox Sr. put it this way: “Federal employees are outraged at being held hostage,

TSA: 10 percent of airport screeners took unscheduled leave Sunday, more than triple the rate of a year ago

and they understand that giving in to the hostage-takers means a future of shutdown after shutdown after shutdown.

Our federal corrections officers don’t give in when inmates take hostages in prisons, and this situation is no different.”

At this point, with another payless payday approaching, is it better for Democrats to maintain their position and continue blocking money for the wall, while the government wallows in dysfunction and feds are pushed into temporary poverty? Is the moral hazard of rewarding Trump worse than the moral hazard now imposed on taxpayers, their government and its employees?

If there is no serious movement soon, the answer will be no, not anymore.

This madness must stop.

POLITICS President Trump’s legislation to reopen the government appeared almost certain to stall in the Senate, as Democrats condemned the measure’s proposed changes to asylum rules and the Supreme Court on Tuesday undercut the central plank of Trump’s effort to draw Democratic support.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced plans to vote Thursday on the Trump-backed legislation that would reopen the government and provide $5.7 billion in taxpayer funding for new walls along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Senate will also vote Thursday on a stopgap spending bill to reopen the government through Feb. 8 without funding for Trump’s wall, a measure Democrats support. But both votes looked likely to fall short of the 60 votes needed to advance.

Hoping to entice some Democrats to support the new Senate GOP proposal, Trump offered a three-year pause in his efforts to end an Obama-era program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which shields some immigrants from deportation.

But the Supreme Court on Tuesday weakened Trump’s offer, saying it would take no action on lower court rulings that had blocked Trump from ending DACA. If the high court sticks to its normal procedures, the earliest it could rule would be in early 2020. (TWP)

Lawyer: Suspected spy had classified material

Ex-Marine was given flash drive containing Russian ‘state secret’

MOSCOW Paul Whelan, a former U.S. Marine detained in Moscow on spy charges, was given a flash drive containing a “state secret,” his lawyer said Tuesday, delivering the first official details in a mysterious case that has been wrapped in silence for weeks.

Whelan, 48, who also holds British, Canadian and Irish citizenship, was arrested by Russian security services in December, during what his family said was a personal trip to Moscow. He was later charged with espionage.

Speaking in a Moscow court,

his lawyer Vladimir Zherebenkov told reporters, “How he got [the flash drive], what he was supposed to do with it, and whether Whelan knew that he had secret information is unknown.”

Zherebenkov said Whelan, a frequent visitor to Russia over the past decade, expected the flash drive to contain photographs and videos of one of his previous trips to the country.

He had asked an acquaintance to send him the information because he had been unable to download it electronically.

At the closed-door, pretrial hearing, the Russian court refused to release Whelan on bail, meaning he will remain behind bars through the end of February.

Whelan was held in a metal and glass enclosure, where he looked on as he spoke to his lawyer through an interpreter.

Whelan gave a “detailed description of his response to the charges,” Zherebenkov said, adding that Whelan maintains his innocence. Zherebenkov reiterated the claim of Whelan’s family that he was in Moscow for a friend’s wedding and was seized in a hotel room near the Kremlin.

Whelan’s arrest has raised speculation that he could be traded for a Russian asset in the U.S., such as gun rights activist Maria Butina, who pleaded guilty last month to trying to influence the 2016 presidential campaign. AMIE FERRIS-ROTMAN

High court OKs ban on trans troops

The Trump administration has reversed Obama-era regulations for transgender troops.

WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE SWITCH

WhatsApp aims to combat viral misinformation

U.S. military can implement restrictions while challengers pursue policy appeals

the Obama administration. The military announced in 2016 that transgender people already serving in the military would be allowed to serve openly, setting July 1, 2017, as the date when transgender individuals would be allowed to enlist.

After President Trump took office, the administration delayed the enlistment date, saying the issue needed further study. And in late July 2017, the president tweeted that the government would not allow “Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military.”

The Trump administration’s revised policy on transgender troops dates to March 2018.

The policy generally bars transgender people from serving unless they do so “in their biological sex” and do not seek to undergo a gender transition.

But it has an exception for transgender troops who relied on the Obama-era rules to begin the process of changing their gender.

Over the past two years, at least two dozen people in India have been killed in violent mobs incited by rumors on WhatsApp, the global messaging service with 1.5 billion users. The Facebookowned app has also played host to disinformation campaigns in several other countries, a recent report found. Unlike disruptive campaigns on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, WhatsApp messages are private and encrypted, with few ways for the company or outside experts to see where inflammatory messages originate.

In an attempt to combat the spread of false information, WhatsApp is limiting the number of times a user can forward a message, to five. The new global limit comes after the company tested a cap in July, restricting users in India to five message forwards and all other users to 20. India is home to the most forwarded messages, photos and videos, WhatsApp says.

In an updated blog post Monday, WhatsApp said it had evaluated the test restrictions and found that the cap “significantly reduced forwarded messages around the world.”

The change in policy is the latest effort by tech giants to curb the spread of misinformation. But it also highlights the challenges particular to WhatsApp, whose messaging system is designed to be obscured from public view.

will ultimately be upheld.

Both the Justice and Defense departments released statements saying they were pleased by the Supreme Court’s action.

The Pentagon said its policy on transgender troops is based on professional military judgment and is necessary to “ensure the most lethal and combat-effective fighting force.”

Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said lower court rulings had forced the military to “maintain a prior policy that poses a risk to military effectiveness and lethality.”

Before beginning to implement its policy, the administration is expected to need to make a procedural filing in one case in Maryland challenging the plan.

That request could be made this week.

Groups that sued over the Trump administration’s policy said they ultimately hoped to win their lawsuits. Jennifer Levi, an attorney for GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, said in a statement that the “Trump administration’s cruel obsession with ridding our military of dedicated and capable service members because they happen to be transgender defies reason and cannot survive legal review.”

Until a few years ago, service members could be discharged from the military for being transgender. That changed under

MILITARY The Trump administration can go ahead with its plan to restrict military service by transgender men and women while court challenges continue, the Supreme Court said Tuesday.

The high court split 5-4 in allowing the plan to take effect, with the court’s five conservatives greenlighting it and its four liberal members saying they would not have. The order from the court was brief and procedural, with no elaboration from the justices.

The court’s decision clears the way for the Pentagon to bar enlistment by people who have undergone a gender transition.

It will also allow the administration to require that military personnel serve as members of their biological gender unless they began a gender transition under less restrictive Obama administration rules.

The Trump administration has sought for more than a year to change the Obama-era rules and had urged the justices to take up cases about its transgender troop policy immediately, but the court declined for now.

Those cases will continue to move through lower courts and could eventually reach the Supreme Court again. The fact that five justices were willing to allow the policy to take effect for now, however, makes it more likely the Trump administration’s policy

The accord was announced by Mayor Eric Garcetti, Superintendent Austin Beutner and Alex Caputo-Pearl, the president of the teachers union. It must be ratified by union members, but the officials said they expect teachers to be back in the classroom today.

Beutner said the agreement provides for a 6 percent pay increase for school employees and a “meaningful class size reduction.” Details were promised to be released later.

The teachers sought more instructors so that class sizes could be reduced and called for expanding the cadre of librarians and nurses, who rotate among schools.

Three men and a high school student from the Rochester area were charged with plotting to attack a rural upstate New York Muslim community named Islamberg with explosives, authorities said Tuesday. The timing of the attack was unknown. At the time of their weekend arrests, the men had access to 23 rifles and shotguns and three home-made explosives, authorities said. (AP) POLITICS

COVINGTON, KY. | Protesters with traditional drums lead a Native American prayer Tuesday outside the Catholic Diocese of Covington, Ky. The diocese apologized after videos emerged showing students from Covington Catholic High School appearing to mock Native Americans near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on Friday after a rally. The school shut down its campus Tuesday in anticipation of protests.

POLITICS President Trump says he directed White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders not to bother with the traditional daily briefing of reporters.

The last briefing took place Dec. 18.

In a tweet Tuesday, the president said the press covers Sanders “so rudely & inaccurately, in particular certain members of the press.

“I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway! Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!”

The White House Correspondents Association called the decision a retreat from transparency and accountability that sets a terrible precedent.

“Being able to question the press secretary or other senior government officials publicly helps the news media tell Americans what their most powerful representatives are doing in their name,” said Olivier Knox, president of the correspondents association.

Trump’s preferred ways to communicate to the public, besides social media, are interviews on Fox News and informal question-and-answer sessions with reporters.

Defenders of the briefings say they generally give reporters the opportunity to set the agenda, and also to learn about what an administration is doing below the presidential level.

Police departments are ending programs, saying it costs too much to store footage

XPJ1455 5x10.5

Approximately half of the nation’s 18,000 law enforcement agencies have some type of body camera program.

White House won’t delay Jan. 29 address

DAVID MCNEW (GETTY IMAGES)

NATIONAL SECURITY In recent years, after a spate of fatal police-involved shootings sparked nationwide protests, politicians and community activists seized on police body cameras as a way to restore public trust.

But although the cameras were widely adopted, many departments — especially in smaller jurisdictions — are now dropping their programs, finding it too expensive to store and manage the thousands of hours of footage.

The police department in Wahoo, Neb., ended its program in November after a new state law required video to be stored for at least 90 days, causing the annual price to spike to $15,000 — a big cost for a force of five officers.

In Arlington County, Va., the police department decided not to use body cameras after a pilot project revealed an estimated annual cost of $300,000.

Most departments that have ended body camera programs are in smaller jurisdictions; Axon, a body camera manufacturer, said every one of its clients that have canceled contracts cited costs.

“The easy part is buying the body cameras and issuing them to the officers. They are not that expensive,” said Jim Pasco, executive director at the National Fraternal Order of Police. “But storing all the data that they collect — that cost is extraordinary.

The smaller the department, the tougher it tends to be for them.”

Approximately half of the nation’s 18,000 law enforcement agencies have some type of body camera program, with many still in the pilot stage. Costs have spiked in recent years in some areas because at least 14 states have laws that require long-term storage of video footage.

The Bureau of Justice Assistance, a division within the Justice

Department, offers grants to help agencies finance their programs, and 339 grants worth nearly $70 million have been awarded since 2015. But the grants cover only the initial equipment purchase, not ongoing storage fees.

In Virginia, Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said he held off on buying body cameras as he watched his peers experiment with the programs.

He was worried about the cost of storage, but also the time and expense of processing public information requests for the footage, because the videos must be reviewed — and often edited — to protect the privacy of people captured in the recordings.

Roessler also wanted time to establish clear policies for how officers would be held to account if footage captured misconduct.

“My peers said, ‘Wow. I didn’t think of these things,’ ” Roessler said. “You have to have a policy to hold people accountable. If you don’t do that, the program fails.

Body cam deterrents In 2016, the U.S. Justice Department surveyed police departments that had not yet begun using body cameras, seeking to identify possible deterrents to the programs.

Seventy-seven percent cited costs, including for data storage. Thirtynine percent cited privacy concerns, including times when domestic violence victims and the mentally ill are captured on video during police response calls. (TWP)

… If you aren’t going to release footage, you aren’t building trust.”

Roessler said that his department — the largest in the state — recently completed a 180-day pilot program and that American University researchers are now assessing it, including the costs.

Prosecutors, too, are struggling to keep up with the added workload and cost of body camera footage. Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney

China grants Ivanka Trump 5 trademarks as her father pushes ahead on trade talks

Colin Stolle said video evidence has increased costs for his office by more than $1 million a year, a significant impact on a $10 million annual budget.

“A lot of police departments, from a transparency standpoint and from a liability standpoint, went out and purchased body cameras. I … understand that,” Stolle said. “What was not part of the conversation is what will be done with all the recorded evidence when it’s used in a criminal case.”

Virginia legislators created a working group to examine the rising costs, estimating in December that prosecutors’ offices across the state collectively would need to hire 101 assistant commonwealth’s attorneys and 57 paralegal and administrative positions to keep up with the extra work. These conclusions are based on the group’s findings that an extra position needs to be added for every 75 body cameras, at a total cost of about $6.4 million a year.

KIMBERLY KINDY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

POLITICS The White House is moving forward with plans for President Trump to deliver his State of the Union speech next week in front of a joint session of Congress — despite a letter from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi requesting he delay it.

The White House sent an email to the House Sergeant-at-Arms on Tuesday asking to schedule a walk-through for the speech in anticipation of a Jan. 29 delivery, according to a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity. At the same time, the White House is continuing to work on contingency plans and has been considering potential alternatives, including a rally, as a backup venue.

A previously scheduled Capitol walk-through was canceled last week just before Pelosi sent her letter to Trump suggesting that he either deliver the speech in writing or delay it until after the partial government shutdown is resolved, citing security concerns.

Asked about the letter Tuesday, Pelosi did not address the White House’s decision, saying only: “We just want people to get paid for their work.”

The president cannot speak in front of a joint session of Congress without both chambers’ explicit permission.

A resolution agreed to by both chambers specifies the date and time of a joint session of the House and the Senate for receiving an address from the president. JILL COLVIN (AP)

Mariano Rivera Roy Halladay

Rivera leads 4 to Hall Yankees reliever becomes first unanimous pick; Martinez gets in on last ballot

MLB Mariano Rivera became baseball’s first unanimous Hall of Fame selection Tuesday, elected along with Roy Halladay, Edgar Martinez and Mike Mussina.

Rivera received all 425 votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

The quartet will be enshrined July 21 in Cooperstown along with Today’s Game Era Committee selections Harold Baines and Lee Smith.

Rivera is baseball’s career saves leader with 652. He won five World Series over 19 seasons with the New York Yankees. He was always at his best in October, getting 42 saves with a 0.70 ERA over 16 postseasons, including 11 saves in the World Series.

“Hall of Fame teammate.

Hall of Fame person,” longtime teammate Derek Jeter said

in a statement.

Rivera was the last player in the major leagues to wear No. 42, which other franchises retired in honor of Jackie Robinson in 1997.

“To be the last No. 42 elected to the Hall of Fame, and unanimously, is amazing,” Rivera said.

Halladay, who won two Cy Young awards as an ace with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies, will be the first posthumous inductee since 2013.

Halladay died at 40 in November 2017, when an airplane he was flying crashed into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida.

Halladay’s 65 complete games since 2000 are by far the most in the majors — Livan Hernandez is second at 39.

The only other player elected on the first ballot posthumously was Christy Mathewson in 1936.

Voting results Here are the 2019 Hall of Fame voting results, with 75 percent — or 319 votes — needed to get in. (AP) PLAYER

Roberto Clemente was elected by a special election in 1973.

Martinez, a .312 hitter over 18 seasons with the Seattle Mariners, was voted in on his 10th and final ballot. A late bloomer,

he never played more than 100 games in the majors until he was 27 but won two batting titles and ended his career with 309 home runs.

He and Baines will join 2014 inductee Frank Thomas as the only Hall of Famers to play the majority of their games at designated hitter. David Ortiz will be eligible in 2022.

Mussina was a steady righthander for the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles who went 270-153 with 2,813 strikeouts over 18 seasons.

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens made gains among voters but again fell short in their seventh times on the ballot. They may get their best shot at the Hall in 2021, when no first-time candidates are odds-on favorites. Jeter heads the newcomers on the 2020 ballot. JAKE SEINER (AP)

She says she’s self-taught, having grown up playing on public courts in Florida.

DEFENSIVE TURNAROUND

104.7

The defensive rating of the Wizards in January, the third-best mark in the NBA this month. In Washington’s first 37 games of the season before the new year, it had a 112.7 defensive rating, the third-worst mark in the league.

The acquisition of forward Trevor Ariza, right, on Dec. 15 has keyed the defensive turnaround. Coming off allowing a season-low 87 points in Monday’s win over the Pistons, the Wizards are 6-3 and have averaged the second-most steals per game (10.3) in January. (EXPRESS)

Search suspended for plane carrying player to his team

Goalkeeper Tim Howard to play his final MLS season

Markakis takes pay cut to re-sign with Braves

Strong winds and rough seas forced British and French authorities to suspend their search Tuesday for a small plane that disappeared Monday night over the English Channel and was carrying an Argentine soccer player to Wales to join his new Premier League club. The French civil aviation authority confirmed that Emiliano Sala, 28, was one of two people aboard the plane en route from Nantes, France, to Cardiff when it disappeared from radar. The likelihood of surviving the crash, in an area known for shipwrecks and strong currents, was “reducing very rapidly,” authorities told BBC News.

Colorado Rapids and former U.S. national team goalkeeper Tim Howard announced Tuesday on social media that this season will be his last in Major League Soccer.

The 39-year-old spent 13 seasons in the English Premier League with Manchester United and Everton and was named the league’s top goalkeeper in 2004. Howard made a record 121 appearances with the U.S. national team, serving as starting goalkeeper at the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 and again in Brazil in 2014. He also holds the U.S. men’s national team record for wins, with 62. Forty-two of those were shutouts. (AP)

All-Star outfielder Nick Markakis took a significant pay cut Tuesday to remain with the Atlanta Braves.

Markakis and the Braves agreed to a deal that is worth a guaranteed $6 million and includes a club option for 2020. Markakis, 35, is coming off the first All-Star appearance of his 13-year career. He earned Gold Glove and Silver Slugger honors last season, hitting .297 with 14 homers and 93 RBIs while starting all 162 games in right field.

Markakis became a free agent after completing a $44 million, four-year deal that he signed with the Braves for the 2015 season when he left the Baltimore Orioles. (AP)

Maren Morris wrote her new single “Girl” about an overly competitive female friendship.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

Rogers is more than a viral star

A show of ‘Girl’ power MUSIC About a year ago, country star Maren Morris found herself in an unfortunately relatable type of friendship: You want to be close, but ultimately, competition turns the relationship toxic.

“I was having some trouble with another woman that I’m friends with, but in the course of our friendship, we’ve never been able to stay on the same page for very long,” Morris says.

“We’ll be super competitive with each other, and it just eats me up inside.”

So during a songwriting session in Los Angeles, Morris, 28, was in a “weird mood” thinking about the situation: “I wanted to write this letter to her in the form of this song and to say, ‘We are on two different roads. Why are we like this with each other?’ ” However, about an hour into writing the song, titled “Girl,” the lyrics turned into what Morris calls an “uplifting, tough-love” anthem for herself: While it’s normal to feel anxious about social pressures (“Drawing your comparisons, trying to find who’s

lesser than/ I don’t wanna wear your crown, when there’s enough to go around”), you have to try to let those moments pass.

“It was so cathartic because I got to say things in this song I probably wouldn’t have ever said before,” Morris says. “There’s a line in it, ‘I don’t like myself right now.’ It’s a really hard thing to admit. But I knew the second I said it, I was like, ‘OK, I feel a little bit better just saying that.’ …

I figured if I’m helped and healed, then other people will be, too.”

Released this past Thursday to country radio, “Girl” is Morris’ first single off her sophomore album (a release date for the record hasn’t been announced). And she’s all too aware that there are typically only a few female artists on the country chart. For Morris, one of the most vocal critics of country radio’s gender imbalance, it’s especially notable that her single is bluntly titled “Girl.”

“It’s kind of ironically hilarious that you can look at the country chart at any given moment and see there are tons of song titles with the world ‘girl’ in them,

MARK HUMPHREY (AP)

Maren Morris’ new track is a challenge to the male-dominated country chart

“You can look at the country chart at any given moment and see there are tons of song titles with the word ‘girl’ in them, and they’re all by men.”

MAREN MORRIS, discussing the origins of her single “Girl,” which was released Thursday

and they’re all by men,” Morris says. (Currently, the chart includes Dustin Lynch’s “Good Girl,” Jason Aldean’s “Girl Like You” and Riley Green’s “There Was This Girl.”) “Wouldn’t it be funny and really taking it to the next level if a girl released a song just called ‘Girl’?”

So does Morris’ aforementioned friend know she’s the topic of the song?

“No,” Morris says. “But she probably will now.” EMILY YAHR

Maggie Rogers emerged Friday with her astonishingly good debut album, “Heard It in a Past Life,” on which she explores the fertile melding of folk and dance. Rogers’ “Alaska” — which went viral in 2016 when she performed it before Pharrell Williams at New York University — is included on the album.

The track “Light On” then reveals the turmoil the now 24-year-old felt after that overnight interest. Other standout tracks include the upbeat pop of “Give a Little,” the slinky “The Knife,” the piano ballad “Past Life” and the arena foot-thumper “Back in My Body.” So much pressure has been placed on this young Maryland artist, but she’s delivered on that early promise.

Road to Oscar goes through ‘Roma’ The road to the Academy Awards too often turns the ceremony into a preordained affair, with a parade of critics groups, press ass associations and industry guilds handing out so many prizes that the Oscar night winners come as little surprise. But when Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross unveiled the nominations Tuesday, there were more than a few nods that changed the shape of the Nan race. Here are five takeaways from the nominations for the 91st Oscars ceremony, which airs Feb. 24 on ABC. THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS) rac ‘Ro ‘Roma’ is the favorite win best picture to w

‘A Star Is Born’ and ‘Green Book’ slid …

… while ‘Vice’ and ‘The Favourite’ surged

‘Black Panther’ had a strong day (mostly)

‘First Man’ was dealt the biggest snubs

“Ro “Roma’s” momentum began with Alfonso Cuaron’s best director win at the Golden dire Globes and continued with Glob best picture triumph at the a be Critics’ Choice Awards. Now, Crit the Netflix drama is tied for the most Oscar nominations with 10. That includes somewhat unexpected som nods for Yalitza Aparicio nod (lead actress) and Marina de (lea Tavira (supporting actress), Tavi indicating support from indi actors — the Academy’s acto largest voting bloc. larg

While “A Star Is Born” picked up a best picture nomination, along with acting nods for Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga and Sam Elliott, Cooper’s absence from the directing category shows this movie isn’t the awards juggernaut many expected. Although “Green Book” got a best picture win from the Producers Guild last weekend, the snub here of director Peter Farrelly lowers that film’s odds as well.

“The Favourite” now looks like the film most likely to challenge “Roma” for best picture. The period dramedy grabbed 10 nominations of its own, including best director for Yorgos Lanthimos and acting nods for Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone.

Also consider “Vice,” which has a directing nod for Adam McKay and acting honors for Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Sam Rockwell among its eight nominations.

Joining “Roma,” “A Star Is Born,” “Green Book,” “The Favourite” and “Vice” in the best picture field are “BlacKkKlansman,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Black Panther,” which became the first comic book film nominated for the award. The Marvel movie picked up seven nominations, though snubs for best director, adapted screenplay and visual effects are signs it’s not going to win best picture.

“First Man” struggled this awards season, but snubs for its score and supporting actress Claire Foy still surprised. Although “First Reformed” got a screenplay nod, Ethan Hawke was a conspicuous absence from the best actor list. Despite landing two Screen Actors Guild nods, Emily Blunt wasn’t recognized for “Mary Poppins Returns” or “A Quiet Place.” And “If Beale Street Could Talk” was the biggest best picture omission.
