page three ‘Wrong has been made right’ VIRGINIA Aqel Aziz couldn’t stop smiling after his two sons, ages 19 and 21, were finally able to join him in the United States on Monday. “America is for everybody,” he said after greeting his boys, Tareq and Ammar, at Dulles International Airport. The brothers were turned away last week in the chaotic first days of President Donald Trump’s travel ban directed at seven Muslim-majority countries. The family filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the ban. The lawsuit remains ongoing, but last week the government reached a settlement with the Aziz family, and another family on the same flight, the Al Murisis, who were all turned away despite their status as lawful permanent residents. The Aziz brothers and the seven members of the Al Murisi family — all natives of Yemen, one of the seven countries affected by the ban — arrived safely at Dulles on Monday. “This morning a wrong has

order Jan. 27. In court, a Justice Department lawyer said the government was willing to accommodate families who were already traveling when the ban was imposed, as well as people with lawful permanent resident status. Since then, a federal judge in Washington state issued an order halting the implementation of Trump’s executive order. But Sandoval-Moshenberg said the Aziz and Al Murisi families would not have benefited from the judge’s ruling because their visas had been canceled when they were first turned away. The Aziz brothers spent several days stranded at the airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, while their situation was resolved, and both families had to spend thousands of dollars on additional air travel that will not be reimbursed. But the Aziz brothers and their father said they still feel welcome in the U.S. despite their ordeal. “If we are in a different country, they are not going to come back,” Aqel Aziz said, referring to the legal help he received and the judicial system’s willingness to hear their case. The brothers said they hope to go to college. MATTHEW BARAKAT (AP)

passing score for him — let’s put it that way,” said Jackie Jeter, president of Metro’s largest union. “To say that I am upset with him right now is an understatement.” At a National Press Club speech in November on his one-year anniversary, Wiedefeld was asked whether, if he could go back in time, he would take the job again, knowing the challenges it would bring. It took him 12 seconds to muster an answer to the yes-no question, punctuated with nervous laughter and stuttering. Finally, he took a breath: “This has been the greatest job that I’ve ever had the opportunity to do, both in terms of the people that I’m interacting with, in terms of the challenges that we’re up against, in terms of what it means,” he said. “To basically be able to touch, in effect, over a million people or a million passengers a day, that’s a pretty unique opportunity.” MARTINE POWERS AND FAIZ SIDDIQUI

THE DISTRICT Bao Bao, the National Zoo’s 3-year-old female giant panda, will be shipped to China on Feb. 21, the zoo said Monday. The move is part of a longstanding arrangement with China, whereby any giant panda cubs born in the U.S. must go to China around the age of 4. China owns all giant pandas in the U.S. and leases them to American zoos. Bao Bao will be 4 on Aug. 23. In China, giant pandas participate in a breeding program when they reach sexual maturity between 5 and 6 years old, the zoo said. The zoo said Bao Bao will be flown via FedEx “Panda Express” from Dulles International Airport and first go into quarantine at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in the city of Dujiangyan, Sichuan province. The zoo has online and in-person programs to mark her departure, including 24/7 viewing on a Panda Cam and an ice cake party Feb. 20 that will be streamed on Facebook Live. Bao Bao is the second giant panda to be shipped to China after being born at the National Zoo. The first was Tai Shan, a male, who was born July 9, 2005. He was moved to China on Feb 4, 2010. He is now 11. The zoo has three other giant pandas — a male cub, Bei Bei, 1; an adult female, Mei, 18; and an adult male, Tian Tian, 19.

TRANSPORTATION Last August, Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld’s relentlessly chipper exterior began to crack. Within a one-month period, the region’s transit system had experienced a stream of highprofile fiascoes: A train derailed at the start of the morning rush. A train operator blew through a red light and nearly struck two colleagues. A report from federal regulators suggested that Metro officials had known about faulty tracks later involved in a derailment but didn’t fix them. Publicly — with his soft-spoken but no-nonsense demeanor — Wiedefeld vowed to root out the cause of each problem. But privately, over lunch with a longtime friend, he expressed his frustration. “I just can’t seem to get a break,” he said. That theme summarizes Wiedefeld’s 14 months at the helm of Metro — and the feelings of Metro riders who were told a year ago that their patience with chronic breakdowns and disruptions would pay off in noticeably improved service. More than a year after he started the job, exasperated riders are wondering: If Wiedefeld is doing all the right things — fixing the tracks, firing incompetent workers and supervisors, restoring a safety culture — why isn’t Metro getting better? Compared with a year ago, service is measurably worse. Stats show that for every month through September 2016 — the most recent data available — Metro’s on-time performance was comparatively lower than the year before, down about

6 percent overall from 2015. Significant stretches of track are pulled out of service during rush hour without warning. An unprecedented number of speed restrictions exist in the system — even outside of zones undergoing work as part of the SafeTrack rebuilding program. But while riders and some officials grow increasingly frustrated at the slow pace of change, lawmakers continue to shower Wiedefeld with praise for his efforts to fix the broken system he inherited. Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va., said he worries “every day” that Wiedefeld will get fed up with the onslaught and throw in the towel. “The Metro board ought to check twice a day what wine he likes to drink, and deliver it in cases,” Connolly said, “because if we were to lose Paul at this critical moment, given the history of his predecessors in management, we’re at risk of regression.” One problem that Wiedefeld made little headway in fixing his

SYDNEY Seven percent of priests in Australia’s Catholic Church were accused of sexually abusing children over the past several decades, a lawyer said Monday, as officials investigating institutional abuse across Australia revealed for the first time the extent of the crisis. The statistics were released at a hearing of Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The royal commission — Australia’s highest form of inquiry — has been investigating since

2013 how the Catholic Church and other institutions responded to the sexual abuse of children over decades. The commission has heard harrowing testimony from scores of people who suffered abuse at the hands of clergy. But the extent of the problem was never clear until Monday, when the commission released the statistics it gathered. Commissioners surveyed Catholic Church authorities and found that between 1980 and 2015, 4,444 people reported they had been abused at more than 1,000 Catholic institutions in Australia,

said Gail Furness, the lead lawyer aiding the commission. The average age of the victims was 10.5 for girls and 11.5 for boys. Overall, 7 percent of priests in Australia between 1950 and 2010 were accused of sexually abusing children, Furness said. “As Catholics, we hang our heads in shame,” said Francis Sullivan, who is coordinating the Catholic Church’s response. In the U.S., 5.6 percent of clergy were accused of molesting children between 1950 and 2015, according to reports by U.S. bishops. KRISTEN GELINEAU (AP)

Of the 13 reel-to-reel, analogue master tapes, known as “the lost masters,” 10 were fully restored, two were blank and one could not be repaired because of water damage. The work took a year and cost $31,200. The tapes — live recordings of Marley’s concerts in London and Paris between 1974 and 1978 — feature tracks such as “No Woman No Cry” and “Exodus.” (EXPRESS)

Travel ban battle looms Federal appeals court schedules hearing for today on controversial immigration order

Trump: Media covering up terror attacks

support to the legal bid to block Trump’s order. While it is not unusual for outside parties to weigh in on legal cases of such public interest, the depth of those lining up behind the two states is notable. Former secretaries of state John F. Kerry and Madeleine Albright, former CIA director Leon Panetta and former CIA and National Security Agency director Michael Hayden were among those attaching their names to an affidavit declaring there was “no national security purpose” for a complete barring of people from the affected countries. Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, Twitter, Uber and others asserted in a brief that Trump’s order “hinders the ability of American companies to attract great talent; increases costs imposed on business; makes it more difficult for American firms to compete in the international marketplace.” MATT ZAPOTOSKY

ANALYSIS Speaking to the U.S. Central Command, President Trump went off prepared remarks Monday to make a stunning claim: The media are covering up reports of terrorist attacks. “You’ve seen what happened in Paris, and Nice. All over Europe, it’s happening,” he said. “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported. And in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that.” It’s certainly true that not every terrorist attack receives broad national coverage, but filtering what to cover is different than suppressing news. Every day, news outlets decide what to spend resources on. If your home is burglarized, it may not make the cut. This probably isn’t because the Channel 5 news director has a vendetta against you; it’s that there are limited resources. With his comments on Monday, Trump implied that the media are complicit in making terrorists successful. It’s part of a recent pattern of suggesting that others are standing in the way of his terrorism-fighting efforts, which includes disparaging a federal judge who halted his immigration executive order. Trump has vilified the media before. But he’s never before tried to push the media into the “against us” circle alongside those who commit acts of terrorism — at least, not so explicitly.

COURTS A federal appeals court will hear arguments at 6 p.m. today on whether to restore President Trump’s controversial immigration order, marking a critical juncture for the directive temporarily barring refugees and those from seven Muslimmajority countries from entering the United States. The hearing, which will be conducted by telephone, is to review an order by a lower court judge to put Trump’s directive on hold. It was scheduled just as Justice Department lawyers made their final written pitch to immediately restore the president’s order — and as tech companies, law professors and former highranking national security officials joined a mushrooming legal campaign to keep the measure suspended. Justice Department lawyers asserted the executive order was “a lawful exercise of the President’s authority over the entry of aliens into the United States and the admission of refugees,” and that U.S. District Judge James Robart’s order to stop it was “vastly overbroad.” The future of Trump’s order now lies with a panel of judges at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. A lower federal judge in Seattle had ordered a halt to the ban Friday, and the appeals court over the weekend declined to upend that ruling before hearing more arguments. The legal issue is whether Trump exceeded his authority and violated the First Amendment and federal immigration law, and whether his order imposes irreparable harm on those

it affects. Justice Department lawyers representing the Trump administration, or the states of Washington and Minnesota — which had successfully sued to put the ban on hold — could ask the Supreme Court to intervene if they disagree with the appeals court’s decision. The Supreme Court remains one justice short, and many see it as ideologically split 4-4. A tie would keep in place whatever the appeals court decides. The rhetoric from both sides has been fierce. The states of Washington and Minnesota argued in a filing Monday that reinstating the ban would “unleash chaos again” by “separating families, stranding our university students and faculty, and barring travel.” Trump said Monday, during remarks at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., that “we need strong programs so that people that love us and want to

Under coach Bill Belichick’s direction, they will bring back a load of talent to complement quarterback Tom Brady, with enough payroll flexibility and draft resources to add to it.

It may be a safe bet that the Patriots will be able to add talent both through the draft and free agency. New England has the fourth-most available salary cap room in the NFL, according to Spotrac.com. They’ll have to exhaust some of those funds to bring back or replace key defensive players, particularly linebacker Dont’a Hightower, cornerback Logan Ryan and defensive tackle Alan Branch. But their reserves will give them plenty of options, especially given Belichick’s knack for finding undervalued players. The Patriots have the built-in advantage of paying Brady far less than he’s worth, at Brady’s choice, and the ability to lure veterans yearning to win a Super Bowl.

Valuable trade chip The Patriots’ biggest decision will be what to do with reserve quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Tom Brady will be 40 next season, and it might be risky for him to play without a backup the Patriots know and trust. But they could reap valuable draft picks by dealing Garoppolo and potentially recoup the first- and fourth-round picks they lost as punishment for Deflategate. Past backups Matt Cassel and Ryan Mallett were both traded. A.K.

New England just won the Super Bowl with a young defense, and players such as lineman Trey Flowers, who had 2.5 sacks Sunday, should only improve.

The Pats also will have the option of bringing back their entire offensive line, maintaining cohesion in a group that, despite struggles in the Super Bowl, improved vastly. If the Patriots have any cause for concern, it centers around tight end Rob Gronkowski. When he plays, Gronkowski is an impossible matchup for defenses. But he missed the final half of the season after undergoing back surgery, and his long history of injury casts uncertainty over his return. But for New England, there simply isn’t much to worry about. The Patriots, no matter what the country would prefer, are not going anywhere.

nation+world POLITICS Democrats on Monday launched a 24-hour speech-a-thon on the Senate floor in a last-ditch effort to derail the confirmation of Betsy DeVos, President Trump’s nominee for education secretary. “Now is the time to put country before party,” said Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., urging GOP senators to join Democrats in opposing DeVos, a Michigan billionaire who has spent decades advocating the use of public funds to help parents pay tuition at private and religious schools.

Freshmen form dependable duo COLLEGE BASKETBALL Only three players have started all 23 games for Maryland this year. Junior guard Melo Trimble, who was an honorable mention All-American last year, is no surprise, but the two freshmen are. Kevin Huerter and Anthony Cowan have helped 21st-ranked Maryland (20-3) to its best start in school history. Huerter, a 6 -foot-7 guard whom ESPN broadcaster Dan Dakich calls an “X factor,” had 11 points, nine rebounds and two assists Saturday in a 73-72 loss to visiting Purdue. The Boilermakers entered the game ranked 23rd in the country and jumped to 16th on Monday.

JAY LAPRETE (AP)

Huerter and Cowan maintain starting roles for No. 21 Terps (20-3)

Freshman guard Anthony Cowan leads Maryland in assists per game (3.7).

The loss came in the Terrapins’ first game this season against a team ranked in the AP poll. “It definitely was an opportunity [to make a statement], but I think there will be a lot more opportunities coming up,” Huerter said. The first is tonight at Penn State (6, BTN), where Maryland

hopes to remain unbeaten on the road. Huerter noted how Maryland bounced back after a home loss to Nebraska on Jan. 1: The Terps won seven in a row and rose to a No. 17 ranking last week. “That was a big point in our season,” Huerter said of the Nebraska loss, “and this can be, too,” Cowan, a guard who was The

Washington Post’s All-Met Player of the Year at St. John’s College High in the District, is scoring 10.6 points per game and has a team-high 85 assists — four more than Trimble. Coppin State freshman DeJuan Clayton went to middle school with Cowan and played on the same teams from AAU through high school. “He played hard no matter what, even though he was small,” Clayton said of the 6-footer. After scoring six points with four assists against Purdue, Cowan will hope to do more against a Penn State team that is 12-12 but boasts wins over Minnesota and Michigan State. “Hopefully we can stay with the same confidence on the road [with] poise and get it done,” coach Mark Turgeon said Monday.

ALTERG

ULLSTEIN BILD (GETTY IMAGES)

RUNNING As the weather turns colder, Jen Forman will do what she’s always done to get her runs in: She’ll go to her treadmill in her home. And she will hate every moment of it. “I will continue to press the speed button to get a treadmill workout done as quickly as possible,” says Forman, 38, of Gaithersburg, Md. “But I can’t live without it, because if … I have my kids at home, I can’t leave.” In its 2016 survey, the Sports & Fitness Industry Association found that more than 50 million Americans said they used a treadmill at least once in the last year. Yet if the monotonous motion feels like torture, that shouldn’t come as a surprise. The tread wheel, a variation of the modern treadmill, was used in the 1800s to keep British prisoners from idleness, but more so for hard labor. “I can’t get my head around the fact that we now pay to run on machines that were the harshest form of punishment, short of the death penalty, for about 100

The Industrial Revolution paved the way for treadmills as machines of leisure. Today’s are high-tech, like AlterG’s Anti-Gravity Treadmill, right.

years,” says Vybarr CreganReid, a senior lecturer at the University of Kent in England. Yet machines that evolved from them accounted for almost 40 percent of an estimated $3.5 billion in fitness equipment retail sales in North America in 2015. Before the Industrial Revolution, most people had jobs that required physical labor. With the rise office jobs, machines cropped up to improve on what became a leisure activity: exercise. Thirty years later, researchers used treadmills to test for heart and lung disease. One researcher,

Slowing down? A sense of availability and convenience is why treadmills are still popular. And treadmill makers continue to innovate to make the device feel like more than just a motorized belt. Of course, not all of those innovations catch on. Chris Clawson, former president of Life Fitness, attributes a recent drop in home treadmill sales to users’ lack of interest in fancy added features — such as TVs — that make treadmills more expensive. More concerning is lackluster interest among millennials and the even younger Gen Z users. M.P.

D.C.’s Atlas Fitness offers a free nutrition workshop at 6 p.m. Thursday

Run for your life

Kenneth Cooper, published a book in 1968 encouraging readers to improve cardiovascular fitness. The late ’60s were the start of using treadmills for recreational runs. President John F. Kennedy had inspired Americans to improve their physical fitness, and a decade later, runners strapped on their newly invented running shoes to join the running boom. Inspired by Cooper’s book, engineer Bill Staub launched the PaceMaster, convinced that an affordable treadmill had a place in the home. He sold 2,000 units a year during the 1980s, and by the mid-1990s, 35,000 per year. Companies eventually made the treadmill more comfortable. In 1991, Life Fitness invented the 9500HR, with wide springs and a bouncier running surface. Treadmill usage grew as gyms became more popular in the 1990s and 2000s, and as treadmills added music and television. While the treadmill is no longer a torture device, it still serves its original purpose — not of leisure but of work: “I’ve got a purpose for getting on the treadmill,” Foreman says. “I want to execute that workout and want to be done.”

The longest recorded running streak in history ended Jan. 28, when England’s Ron Hill, above, completed a 1-mile run. For the first time in 52 years and 39 days — a streak dating back to Dec. 21, 1964 — the 78-year-old former Olympian did not run Jan. 29. Hill, who suffers from a heart problem, said in a statement that after running less than 400 meters Jan. 28, “my heart started to hurt. … I thought I might die but just made it to one mile in 16 minutes and 34 seconds. There was no other option but to stop.” Streak runners like Hill must run at least a mile every day to keep their streaks alive. The records are submitted by runners on the honor system. The end of Hill’s streak gives Jon Sutherland, 66, of California the longest active streak in the world: more than 47½ years, according to the United States Running Streak Association.

A starting point involves her understanding why this bothers you, or at the very least, caring that it does. Barring either of those, how or why would her behavior ever improve? Sure, she may change on her own, but honestly, conscientiousness tends to be a pretty fixed personality trait (says the woman who still can’t keep track of her phone).

And you’re right that although this may be the only thing you argue about, it’s a large thing indeed. Once you share a life, a home and possibly children, then how attentive you are to the trappings of that life is a continual and significant thing to disagree about. So, if she doesn’t change, ask yourself: Could you change toward tolerating it?

So, discuss without judging (or as we shrinks would say, “explore”). Start with his overall plans; if he’s got unpaid loans from you, it’s your right to know. Say that since you’re helping your parents with financial planning, you need to know where things stand in the long and short terms. Talk to your parents privately about their financial goals, and how their “expenditures” (ahem!) may get in the way. But you must decide, truly, if this is really about your parents’ finances, or if it’s actually just resentment about his not paying for grad school like you did. The former is a reasonable and viable conversation; the latter, though understandable, can veer quickly into “Johnny got a bigger slice of cake!” Send questions to Dr. Andrea Bonior at baggage@wpost .com.

‘Shopaholic’ author’s latest (mostly) sticks to her winning formula BOOK REVIEW A very old lyric: “How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm/ After they’ve seen Paree?” That song once referred to United States soldiers sent overseas during World War I, but the sentiment works for anyone who has ever left a family farm and seen a bit of the world — like Katie Brenner, the 26-year-old heroine of Sophie Kinsella’s fizzy new novel, “My (Not So) Perfect Life,” out today. Kinsella is best known for her blockbuster “Shopaholic” series, featuring the hapless, label-mad Becky Bloomwood. There’s even a movie adaptation starring Isla

Fisher. But Kinsella also writes st a nd - a lone novels like “My (Not So) Perfect Life.” We meet Katie across the pond in London, where she’s trying to be “Cat.” She has a room in a shared flat that’s so tiny that she keeps most of her belongings in a hammock. And her budget is even tinier: She stirs up lots of stews involving turnips. But she tolerates all this for the prize: her job as a research assistant at a hot branding agency called Cooper Clemmow, where her glamorous boss, Demeter, both inspires Cat and drives her crazy.

CASTING

Bening joins ‘Katrina: American Crime Story’

TELEVISION

Netflix makes Halloween plans easy this year Last summer’s ’80s-set sci-fi hit “Stranger Things” will return to Netflix for Season 2 on Oct. 31. Netflix previewed the season in a trailer that debuted during the Super Bowl. It opened with what looked like an ‘80s-era TV commercial before showing a montage of scenes from Season 2. (AP)

“Katrina: American Crime Story,” FX’s follow-up to its highly praised anthology series “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” has announced its first cast member: Annette Bening. The actress will portray former Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco in the series, which will air in 2018 and take on Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. (EXPRESS) COMEDY

dye that you’ll adore.) Just as things seem to click into place for Cat — she speaks up in a meeting, she meets a scrummy man, she’s asked to join a lunchtime drinks clique — the fates start to intervene. If all of this sounds a bit Bridget Jones-ish, that’s because it is. Kinsella knows her readers, and she doesn’t stray far from their penchant for bumbling young women struggling to make sense of their place in the world. The difference here is that, rather than leaving the farm to see Paree (or London or New York), Cat winds up leaving London to go back home and help her family turn their working farm into a glamping destination in a bid to make it profitable. Before long, she’s using her big-city skills with very rural types. “You need

JOHN SWANNELL

Another path to self-discovery fare: “My (Not So) Perfect Life” isn’t about a sexual relationship. Sure, there is one, and it has the usual misunderstandings and antic couplings, but the soul of this book concerns female friendship and its dynamics. When Demeter turns up with her family for a glamping holiday, Katie-turned-Cat-turnedback-to-Katie sees the opportunity to set things right between them. The ensuing chaos involves everything from lemon drizzle cake to a mud-and-cowpat caper. Everything is all very silly until someone eventually gets hurt — and yes, someone does. However, what ensues has a touch of real wisdom in its slapstick hand that will satisfy the Kinsella die-hards as well as new readers. BETHANNE PATRICK (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
