Officials in Texas said a 25-year-old inmate was charged with escape last week after he was caught running back to the Federal Correctional Complex in Beaumont with a bag of homecooked food. He was returning to the prison — which has a minimum-security section — after sneaking onto an adjacent ranch to get a stash of goodies that also included marijuana, brandy and Bugler tobacco, UPI reported.

As part of a promotion last week, French supermarket chain Intermarche slashed the price of a 35-ounce jar of Nutella by 70 percent, to the equivalent of $1.75. The frenzy to buy the beloved hazelnut cocoa spread caused chaos at stores across France.

These sailors savor the cold Frostbite sailing clubs have attracted more interest this winter
AMY DAVIS (BALTIMORE SUN)
REGION On any given winter weekend, visitors who peer across the frozen harbors of the Chesapeake Bay might think they are seeing a mirage. Beyond the ice around the water’s edge is a spectacle: people dressed for snow skiing, out on sailboats, whipping through steel-colored waves. They’re sailors racing in the Frostbite series, a niche sport that draws those who love sailing when conditions are frigid. The record cold this winter has not daunted these sailors. They’ve gone out even when ice is gathering around their docks — they simply use a motorboat to break the ice. So far in 2018, the Severn Sailing Association in Annapolis has canceled only one day of racing, when the Severn River was frozen from bank to bank. There are more than a dozen Frostbite fleets along the Eastern Seaboard, including several in the Chesapeake region. The fleets generally run from November through March.

Andres: Alfalfa drama was ‘misunderstanding’
Frostbite sailors participate in winter league racing organized by the Severn Sailing Association.
In recent years, these fleets have attracted more sailors. The Severn Sailing Association, for example, has 68 registered Frostbite sailors this season, up from 45 or 50 in years past. Winter sailors need to take precautions. All sailors in the Severn Laser league are required to wear a wetsuit or dry suit. The Annapolis Yacht Club requires at least three sailors per boat for safety purposes. If one person goes overboard, there is a second to steer the boat, and another to help the sailor back in. One December Sunday in

Annapolis, a long line of Severn sailors wrapped in ski hats and brightly colored suits maneuvered their white triangular sails through a 5-knot wind to line up for the start. In the summer,
they’d be fighting with dozens of yachts and powerboaters. This day, the sailors had the Annapolis Harbor to themselves. After the sailing excursion, the sailors retreated to the shore and traded their wetsuits for sweaters ahead of the post-race ritual: fire and beer. The Frostbite sailors built a fire and pulled out several Loose Cannons. “At the end of it, we finish with some drinks, a fire, talk about the day and the next one,” fleet captain Scott Williamson said. “It’s a good time.” CATHERINE RENTZ (THE BALTIMORE SUN)

Is Metro on track for dedicated funds?
BALTIMORE
Old shootings resurface after police chief is hired
Md., Va. lawmakers say timing may be right for financing transit agency
Glitch leaves courts pressed to find juries ALEX BRANDON (AP)
TRANSPORTATION Seated before a panel of skeptical Virginia lawmakers in a General Assembly hearing room, Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld withstood a bipartisan barrage of objections to proposals to give his transit agency more money. It was hardly a surprise when Del. T. Scott Garrett, R-Lynchburg, questioned whether Metro was spending too much on overtime and pensions, and whether the union had too much power. The state GOP has historically been reluctant to pay for public transit, and Garrett’s constituents live more than 150 miles from the nearest Metro station. But Del. Mark D. Sickles, DFairfax, a strong Metro backer, also raised concerns. He said the plan proposed by just-departed governor Terry McAuliffe to supply Metro with an extra $150 million a year is unfair because Northern Virginia would bear the entire cost. Sickles and other Northern Virginia Democrats want the state to contribute, too. “Concern keeps growing whether the region as a whole can get its act together and get dedicated funding for Metro,” said G. Evan Pritchard, chairman of the Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance.
THE DISTRICT
Metro hopes a dedicated funding source can help save it from constant service problems, but getting lawmakers on board has proven difficult.
Despite the worries, however, many lawmakers said now is the time to make the push. Veteran politicians in Richmond and Annapolis note it is the first time in memory that both political parties are taking seriously the need to provide financial support for the transit system. Top Virginia Republicans and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, R, have said they are open to providing more state money to Metro, as long as certain conditions are met. “There’s a lot of positive momentum, and we just have to keep it going,” said Maryland Del. Marc A. Korman, D-Montgomery, sponsor of a Metro funding bill in Annapolis. The prospects have improved mainly because of recognition both that Metro has been underfunded and that it is critical to the
$3.8M
economies of Northern Virginia and the Maryland suburbs. In addition, the Metro campaign has benefited from the region’s desire to enhance its chances of persuading Amazon to place its second headquarters and 50,000 jobs in the area. Amazon has said it wants a site close to good public transit, and its shortlist of 20 potential locations includes three in the D.C. region. “It’s just common sense that [Amazon] has put some urgency on it,” Hogan spokesman Doug Mayer said. While Hogan was focused on Metro even before Montgomery made the shortlist, Mayer said, the $2 billion in unspecified transportation improvements that the governor has promised to help lure Amazon “will have a lot to do with Metro.” ROBERT McCARTNEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)
A glitch in D.C. Superior Court’s internal jury system resulted in the court failing to mail out jury duty notices to thousands of D.C. residents, forcing officials to frantically email summonses late last week, just days before the trials were scheduled to start. Court officials confirmed over the weekend that the computer problem occurred around Christmas. Due to the error, court officials realized they had no jurors available for trials for the next two weeks and quickly sent out 2,330 emails alerting people they had been picked for jury duty beginning today. Court spokeswoman Leah Gurowitz said prospective jurors who alert the court they are unable to serve the next two weeks can request a deferral to a later date. (TWP)

Charles County, Md., police: Man kills wife and himself Saturday after receiving a protective order
The appointment of a veteran commander to the Baltimore Police Department’s top post has revived questions about deadly shootings he was involved in 23 years ago. The Baltimore Sun reported that Darryl De Sousa was cleared of any wrongdoing in the 1995 officer-related shootings, which included the death of an 18-year-old bystander killed by a ricocheted bullet. Mayor Catherine Pugh said the 1995 shootings were “completely vetted.” She chose De Sousa as police commissioner earlier this month. (AP) SPRINGFIELD, VA.

Fairfax County Police said they spent the morning trying to persuade the 21-year-old to surrender; they eventually deployed a police robot and tear gas grenades.

In security oversight, map appears to show movements at bases

NATIONAL SECURITY An interactive map that shows the whereabouts of people who use fitness devices such as Fitbit also reveals highly sensitive information about the location and activities of soldiers at U.S. military bases, in what appears to be a major security oversight. The Global Heat Map, published online by the GPS tracking company Strava, uses satellite information to map the location and movements of subscribers to the company’s fitness service over a two-year period, by illuminating areas of activity. Strava’s 27 million worldwide users include people who own widely available fitness devices such as Fitbit and Jawbone, as well as people who directly subscribe to its mobile phone application. The map shows a pattern of accumulated activity between 2015 and September of last year. Most parts of the U.S. and Europe show up on the map as a blaze of light. In war zones and deserts such as Iraq and Syria, the heat map becomes dark — except for few pinpricks of activity. Zooming in on those brings into focus the locations and outlines of known U.S. military bases, as well as of other unknown and potentially sensitive sites — presumably because U.S. soldiers

are using fitness trackers. Air Force Col. John Thomas said Sunday the U.S. military is looking into the implications of the map. The U.S. military did not respond to a question about what the regulations are regarding use of fitness tracking apps. But the Pentagon has encouraged the use of Fitbits in the military and in 2013 distributed 2,500 of them. The Global Heat Map was posted online in November 2017, but the information it contains was only publicized on Saturday after Nathan Ruser, a 20-year-old Australian student, stumbled across it. “I wondered, does it show U.S. soldiers?” he said, and zoomed in on Syria. “It sort of lit up like a Christmas tree.”
The data also offers a mine of information to anyone who wanted to attack or ambush U.S. troops in or around the bases, said Tobias Schneider, an international security analyst based in Germany. Lines of activity extending out of bases and back may indicate the routes of patrols. The map of Afghanistan appears as a spiderweb of lines connecting bases, showing supply routes, as does northeast Syria, where the U.S. maintains a network of unpublicized bases. Concentrations of light inside a base may indicate where troops live, eat or work. “This is a clear security threat,” Schneider said. “You can see a pattern of life.” LIZ SLY (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Ingvar Kamprad, the Ikea founder who turned a small mail-order business into a global furniture empire, died Saturday at 91 at his home in Sweden. Kamprad’s work ethic, frugality and down-toearth style remain at the core of Ikea’s identity. But Kamprad’s missteps in life, including early flirtations with Nazism, never rubbed off on Ikea, one of the world’s most recognizable brands. Kamprad founded the company at 17 and became one of the world’s richest men. He formed Ikea’s name from his initials and the first letters of the family farm (Elmtaryd) and the parish (Agunnaryd) where it’s located. It’s in the heart of Smaland, a forested province whose people are known in Sweden for their thrift and ingenuity. Kamprad had both. (AP)

Was Trump’s order to fire Mueller illegal?
Hold tight or splurge? With the market booming, some people are tapping into their retirement accounts FINANCE The remarkable stock market rally of 2017 — in which the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index shot up 22 percent and the Dow Jones industrial average 25 percent — has boosted the nation’s retirement accounts to record heights, making the painful 20082009 stock market crash feel like ancient history. And that fervor has not faded with the new year. That feeling of optimism could spread as more Americans receive their year-end retirement account statements this month, providing concrete evidence of newfound paper wealth. Some are so confident that they are taking money out — despite it being taxed and potentially hit by an early-withdrawal penalty — assuming it will be replaced as markets continue to surge upward. “I’ve seen more money requests for extraneous items in the last six weeks than I have in the last five years,” said Jamie Cox of Richmond-based Harris Financial Group, which manages $500 million in savings for about 800 middle-class families. “There’s a lot of people that
are feeling comfortable spending their retirement money right now,” Cox said. Cox said he is seeing more people take larger withdrawals, of $20,000 to $40,000, to fund dream vacations or home improvements. The average annual return for a 401(k) hit 15.7 percent by the third quarter of 2017, according to Fidelity. And for most Americans, it’s these retirement accounts — 401(k), 403(b), SEP and IRA — that provide the closest evidence of a revving stock market. Retirement assets — including annuity reserves, pensions and defined contribution plans such as 401(k)s and IRAs — exploded in the U.S. from $11.6 trillion in 2000 to $27.2 trillion as of Sept. 30, 2017, according to the Investment Company Institute, which represents the mutual fund industry. Kelly Shue, a finance professor at the Yale School of Management, said the wealth effect tends to change the way people invest and consume. “Stock market booms make people more tolerant of risk,” she said. “They tend to increase their consumption. We know people spend more when they are
How long will this last? The stock market rally can’t go on forever. Vanguard Group chairman F.

wealthier and when the market goes up.” There are plenty of signs of 401(k) exuberance. The personal finance sections on Reddit and other message boards are littered with tales of people becoming 401(k) millionaires. Yet the increase in 401(k) balances has done little to calm worries that Americans still are not saving enough for retirement. The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College found that the median household approaching retirement age had a median balance in its 401(k) or IRA of just $135,000 in 2016. “Balances in these accounts are woefully inadequate,” said center

director Alicia Munnell, a management professor at the school. For some workers in or nearing retirement, the current runup can, paradoxically, be scary, said Lynn Ballou, a financial planner in San Francisco. Ballou pointed out that most of her clients lived through the 2000 dot-com bust and the 2008 market crash — seeing their savings rise and disappear each time. When they get their 401(k) statements, Ballou said, they look at the eye-popping numbers and wonder how long it will last — and whether they’ll get out in time. “This is a fearful group of people,” she said. Linda Ramsdell, 57 and knowing that her retirement horizon is getting shorter, barely looks at her 401(k) statements. “I’m in it for the long haul,” said Ramsdell, human resources manager at Gat Creek furniture in Berkeley Springs, W.Va. “My account does what it’s going to do, and I just leave it alone. I am feeling more comfortable in my safety net, but my spending habits haven’t changed. I like saving money.” TODD C. FRANKEL AND THOMAS HEATH (THE WASHINGTON POST)
POLITICS President Trump has pushed back against reports that he ordered White House lawyer Don McGahn to fire special counsel Robert Mueller in June. The reports, which Trump called “fake news,” said the president backed off his attempt to fire the man who is investigating him, his election campaign’s Russian contacts and his firings of FBI Director James Comey and national security adviser Michael Flynn — but only after McGahn refused to relay his directive to the Justice Department and threatened to quit if Trump pressed the issue. But would such a presidential order be an illegal attempt to interfere with the investigation? Jacob Frenkel, a defense lawyer and former prosecutor, said defense lawyers would argue that the conversation with McGahn “was an expression of frustration and irritation, not an intended personnel action.” Frenkel said a statement alone, without follow-up action, is open to varied explanations and allows for reasonable doubt as to intent. “It may not be the conclusion that people want ... but sitting back and looking at it objectively, the fact that there was no firing means there was no obstruction,” Frenkel said. That said, this latest revelation isn’t the only presidential action that could be seen as an attempt to interfere with an investigation. Another is Comey’s firing as FBI director in May.

Kabul death toll rises to 103 Afghan capital mourns after ambulance bomb explodes in city center
Officials ready for tap cutoff in Cape Town
WAKIL KOHSAR (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN Afghan authorities raised the death toll from Saturday’s suicide bombing in Kabul to 103, as hundreds of people gathered Sunday for funerals or awaited word of loved ones outside hospitals and morgues. The attacker raced an explosive-filled ambulance through a security checkpoint by saying he was transferring a patient. The explosion damaged or destroyed dozens of shops and vehicles. Interior Minister Wais Ahmad Barmak provided the updated death toll on Sunday, saying another 235 people were wounded in the attack. He said police were among those killed and wounded. He said there was a second ambulance that accompanied the first and also made it past the checkpoint, before it turned around and left the area, indicating some of the attackers escaped. The Taliban claimed the attack, dealing a major blow to the U.S.-backed Afghan government. Afghan security forces have struggled to combat the Taliban since the U.S. and NATO

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA South Africa’s police and military will help secure water collection sites in drought-stricken Cape Town if authorities must turn off most taps on what they call “Day Zero,” the city said Sunday. Hospitals, key economic and industrial areas and areas with a higher risk of disease would be exempt from a water cutoff, said municipal authorities, who plan to open a disaster operations center today to prepare for a possible closure of taps. South Africa’s second-biggest city ramped up contingency plans as the water crisis hurt tourism and politicians bickered over alleged failures to offset a looming disaster blamed on explosive population growth and years of drought that scientists say was possibly exacerbated by man-made global warming. Cape Town’s roughly 4 million residents can avoid “Day Zero,” slated for April 12, by each using no more than 13.2 gallons daily until adequate rainfall fills up depleted reservoirs and an additional supply from aquifers and desalination is activated, according to the city. Security forces would guard 200 water collection points where residents can pick up 6.6 gallons daily if the tap cutoff occurs, authorities said. “This crisis will demand a whole of society approach, where we all pull together to get through this,” the city said, acknowledging “panic” among residents.

‘Ugly’ wins count: Virginia is capable of capturing a title What we know now, for sure, is what we might have suspected before tipoff Saturday in Durham, N.C. There are no limits to what the men’s basketball team from Virginia can accomplish this spring. The last time Virginia won at Cameron Indoor Stadium, none of the current Cavs had been born. Coach Tony Bennett was finishing out a brief career as an NBA guard. That was 1995. On Saturday, Virginia came to Duke with a better record (19-1 vs. 18-2) and a higher ranking (second vs. fourth) and still was an underdog. Then the Cavaliers won 65-63. If a team can win at this place against this team, it can win on any court against anybody — in any month, be it March or (yikes) April. This was not a win at Georgia Tech or Wake Forest. Duke is packed with lottery-style talent. “My guys played their hearts out,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
And Virginia still won. So we can — and should — chalk this up to Bennett’s coaching, because in preparation, in execution, in in-game adjustments, he is a star. He has a habit, whether it’s on a made bucket or a missed shot, to point to the defensive end of the court, to make sure his team gets back. That is his team’s way of life, its oxygen. Duke scored 91.7 points per game, best in the country, before facing Virginia. And yet Saturday at halftime, the Blue Devils had just 22 points, had committed eight turnovers, had clanked all seven of their 3s. “We weren’t perfect defensively,” Bennett said, and he’s right. But that gives you a sense of what his standards are. About talent: Duke, by this point in the program’s arc, is the same as Kentucky. Players come for a couple of semesters, then depart for the NBA. Other than senior Grayson Allen, only three Duke minutes Saturday went to non-freshmen. Another similar (better?) class will roll in next year.

Sophomore guard Kyle Guy led Virginia with 17 points Saturday at Duke and said the Cavs get annoyed when people say their slow style is “ugly.”
“We’re talented, too,” Virginia senior Devon Hall said with an edge. Because the Cavaliers are so disciplined — they turned the ball over just five times — and because they are defined by defense, it’s easy to dismiss them as a product of Bennett’s system. That has to be true, to an extent. But stop telling them they win because of how they’re coached, not who they are. Stop telling them they win ugly. “It definitely gets, not under our skin, but it’s annoying,” said sophomore guard Kyle Guy, who led the Cavs with 17
points, hit a massive 3-pointer with about three minutes left and iced the game by hitting both ends of a one-and-one. “An ugly win is a win.” Halfway through the ACC season, Virginia is 9-0 in league play with a 2 1/2 -game lead. But the Cavaliers were a No. 1 seed in 2014, a No. 2 in 2015, a No. 1 in 2016. Critics will say that Bennett’s teams have not gone to a Final Four. Not yet. “We can be as good as we want to be,” Guy said.
Athletic director Mark Hollis announced his retirement from Michigan State on Friday as the university came under fire for employing Larry Nassar while the former sports doctor molested gymnasts. Shortly after Hollis’ statement, ESPN published a report detailing a pattern of MSU denying and suppressing claims of sexual misconduct by athletes. ESPN reported that two of coach Tom Izzo’s basketball players were never reprimanded after a student told Hollis that the players, along with a student assistant coach, raped her in 2010. Izzo, below, said Sunday he’ll address the report later, but he has cooperated with investigators and wants his team to be “part of the healing process.” (EXPRESS)

Maryland built a 13-point lead at halftime against No. 6 Michigan State, but the Terrapins couldn’t sustain the performance and faded down the stretch of a 74-68 loss Sunday at home in College Park. Sparked by Joshua Langford (19 points), the Spartans (20-3, 8-2 Big Ten) opened the second half on a 20-4 run. Maryland closed to 63-61 with 1:43 left but couldn’t come up with a key rebound. Kevin Huerter led the Terps (15-8, 4-6) with 17 points. (AP)

Federer secures 20th major title As Roger Federer cried while accepting his 20th Grand Slam title, Rod “Rocket” Laver took the opportunity to snap a picture for posterity. Federer has won more major tennis titles SAEED KHAN (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)
than any man, including a record-equaling six on the court in Melbourne that bears Laver’s name. This one, following a 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 win over Marin Cilic in Sunday’s Australian Open final, was a keeper. Federer, 36, arrived in Melbourne last year after an extended injury layoff and on a major-title drought that dated back to 2012 at Wimbledon. Having successfully defended his Australian title Sunday, the Swiss star has now won three of the last five majors. (AP)

Jagr’s NHL career may end with waiver from Flames
Walker’s second TD catch completes AFC comeback
Calgary has placed forward Jaromir Jagr on waivers, which could spell the end of his illustrious career, two people with direct knowledge of the move told AP on Sunday. Jagr, 45, is the second-leading scorer in NHL history. He signed a one-year, $1 million deal with incentives at the start of the season. He has a goal and six assists in 22 games but hasn’t played since Dec. 31 because of a lower-body injury. Jagr is 34 games shy of Gordie Howe’s all-time record. According to a source, the Czech native will leave the NHL to play in Europe if he clears waivers. (AP)
Titans tight end Delanie Walker caught two touchdown passes, including an 18-yarder with 1:31 left, and the AFC beat the NFC 24-23 in a rain-soaked Pro Bowl on Sunday in Orlando, Fla. Oakland’s Derek Carr found Walker, the game’s offensive MVP, on a skinny post for the winning score. Denver’s Von Miller, who was named defensive MVP, forced and recovered a fumble by Rams QB Jared Goff to seal it. The AFC overcame a 17-point halftime deficit and four turnovers. Vikings players Adam Thielen (TD catch) and Harrison Smith (interception return) helped the NFC take a 20-3 lead. (AP)

Taylor Kitsch portrays Branch Davidian cult leader David Koresh.
MUST-SEE THIS WEEK
‘Waco’ takes on the facts vs. the fiction TV “Some tragedies, some huge media events, have a long, strange afterlife.” This is what Washington Post reporter Sue Anne Pressley observed about the April 19, 1993, fire that killed more than 70 people at the Mount Carmel compound near Waco, Texas. Law enforcement officials believed the Branch Davidian cult, led by self-proclaimed second “messiah” David Koresh, had been stockpiling weapons for malicious reasons, and a raid that February left six of his followers and four ATF agents dead. The ensuing 51-day standoff came to a fiery end after the FBI pumped military-grade tear gas into the building. Pressley’s words ring true. Twenty-five years after the calamity, brothers John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle are determined to show that the Branch Davidians were simply “misunderstood.” The brothers’ six-part miniseries “Waco”
(premiering 10 p.m. Wednesday on the Paramount Network) toggles between the compound and law enforcement in an attempt, they insist, to tell the story fairly. “Who were these people?” Drew asks about the Branch Davidians. “We all had the impression that they were brainwashed and blindly following this maniacal cult leader with no independent thought of their own. In our experience meeting Thibodeau and Martin, it couldn’t be farther from the truth.” David Thibodeau and Sheila Martin were two of nine Branch Davidians who survived the fire. Thibodeau, played in the series by Rory Culkin, wrote one of two biographies on which the series is based. (The other was written by Gary Noesner, an FBI negotiator portrayed by Michael Shannon.) Branch Davidians saw Koresh, played by Taylor Kitsch, as a “very intellectual, biblical savant,” if manipulative, Drew says. “Koresh was definitely an imperfect person,” John adds. “But what makes him tick? He was an abused child — his mom was 14 when she had him — yet he created this bizarre world

Another timely tale “Waco” star Taylor Kitsch agrees the story behind the Waco siege is “very one-sided.” ”The public knew what [the people in power] wanted you to know,” he told The Daily Beast. “That goes into a lot of sensationalism, a lot of this fabricated stuff that wasn’t true, a lot of their own cover-up on their actions. Obviously, that’s very relatable to what we’re dealing with 25 years later.” (EXPRESS)
around himself so he could never be abandoned again.” Law enforcement theorized that the allegedly abusive Koresh led a doomsday cult and had been stockpiling weapons to prepare for the end of the world, but the TV series doesn’t depict
the Branch Davidians that way. Weapons were a main source of income for them, Drew says, but the number of guns per person at Mount Carmel was less than the number per capita in Texas. “Yes, they had weapons — they’d call it inventory,” Drew says. “But the idea that they were preparing some sort of attack was fabricated out of thin air.” The filmmakers began planning “Waco” four years ago; John says their decision to tell the story “through the lens of compassion and understanding versus force” is even more relevant now. “The idea of sitting and listening is a powerful tool that has gotten lost,” he says. “For us, that’s the lesson of ‘Waco.’ ”

On a scale of 1 to 10, “False Flag” rates a 99 for suspense. Critics aren’t calling it the new “Homeland” for nothing. The Israeli-made series began streaming on Hulu this month, in Hebrew with subtitles. In the first of eight
episodes, it’s revealed Iran’s defense minister was abducted from his hotel room in Moscow, and everyone says the Mossad, Israel’s spy agency, did it. The names of the alleged kidnappers are released to the media. They are five Israeli citizens who make up the unlikeliest crew of secret agents: a flirty preschool teacher, a

Three more women accuse actor Jeremy Piven of sexual misconduct in BuzzFeed report
and conveniently have dual citizenship (so, a second passport!) and were out of the country the day of the kidnapping. They say (or pretend) they did not do it. Maybe the
Mossad stole their names and their passports? But the Mossad denies any role in the kidnapping. So who was the mastermind? And is the gang of five innocent or guilty? Shifting perspective from one character to another, the series masterfully shows how people aren’t always who they seem to be — and how we judge (and misjudge). Meanwhile, where is the kidnapped minister? Then there’s the most burning question of all: If stoner dude Sean Tilson is indeed a superspy, why does he still use a flip phone?

KFC announced late last week that it has picked singer Reba McEntire to play the founder of the fried chicken chain, the first female celebrity in the role. In commercials starting this week, McEntire dons the Colonel’s famous white suit and black tie, but with a twist. McEntire’s outfit has fringe on the back, and a glittery shine, giving the getup “a little bit of the country music flair,” she told The Associated Press. McEntire will sing on stage as the Colonel, with a white wig and white facial hair. McEntire was approached in December about taking on the role. “I said, ‘Holy smokes!’ ” McEntire said. “KFC has been a part of my life forever.” (AP)
