London Zoo stages exhibit of unusual mating behavior

‘Oh, he’ll be fine in the car,’ thinks no one who’s ever owned a goat

A former meerkat expert at London Zoo was cleared Tuesday of assaulting a monkey handler in a love spat over a llama keeper. Two High Court judges said Tuesday that Caroline Westlake had not “recklessly” injured Kate Sanders. In October, a lower court found Westlake, 30, guilty of assaulting Sanders with a wineglass after the two women argued at a zoo Christmas party in 2014.

Both had dated colleague Adam Davies. (AP)

A goat caused a commotion over the weekend when it was spotted in the driver’s seat of a vehicle in a Massachusetts parking lot, flashing its owner’s lights. The goat’s owner, Ashley Robertson, says she was on her way home with her new goat Sunday when she stopped briefly at Home Depot. Robertson says the goat turned on her hazard lights, drank an old cup of soda and defecated on the seat. (AP)

A memorial to Watergate THE DISTRICT It’s a rare workplace that boasts as a point of pride that its office was once a crime scene.

But when you work on the sixth floor of the Watergate office building — one of the most significant crime scenes in American history — you get to brag.

It was on the sixth floor, in the wee hours of June 17, 1972, that a security guard caught five men breaking into the offices of the Democratic National Committee.

The break-in set in motion the events that would make Richard Nixon the only U.S. president to resign the office and would forever shake the American public’s trust in its government.

That’s a lot of history for a hohum Foggy Bottom office space.

Nowadays, the sixth floor is home to Sage Publications, an academic publishing company that moved its D.C. branch into the Watergate complex about a year ago. The company last week opened an exhibit to commemorate the events that transpired in the spot it now occupies.

J. LAWLER DUGGAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Business pays homage to the crime scene, but it’s not open to visitors

Guests and employees of Sage Publications view a timeline installation recognizing the history of their sixth-floor office in the Watergate building.

Rhodes Cook, who began working at the DNC shortly after the break-in, recalled that the office of DNC Chairman Lawrence F. O’Brien Jr., where the burglars were caught, was on the eastern wall of the building. In the northeast corner of the office — where windows look out on the building that was the Howard Johnson hotel where the burglars set up camp — Sage Publications installed a wall-length timeline of the Watergate scandal, a plaque and a copy of The Washington

“This is where it all started: the unraveling of a presidency, and really the beginning of a change in American history.”

RHODES COOK, a former DNC worker, discussing the break-in with current Watergate employees

Post front page bearing the headline “Nixon Resigns.”

The sixth floor has been extensively renovated, and Cook said it bears little resemblance to the DNC office that Nixon’s Committee to Re-Elect the President secretly paid burglars to bug.

But one key feature seems untouched: the stairwell.

It was there that security guard Frank Wills saw the doors had been taped, leading him to call police, who found the burglars.

It’s just a door to a staircase. On any given day, most employees choose the elevator. But when attendees at the opening Friday realized it was the door to that staircase, a few went to reverently open and close it a few times.

Unfortunately for history buffs and tourists, the new exhibit is not open to visitors. The Watergate building, part of a complex that includes apartments and shops, is a private office tower with no display about its role in history.

On the sixth floor, Charisse Kiino, a Sage executive, said the receptionist frequently shoos away curious people who manage to make it up the elevator.

“We’re talking about locking it down more,” she said.

What killed 13 eagles near a farm in Md.?

Investigators send the carcasses to be examined in Oregon

ELECTIONS

Clinton, Rubio dominate Va. airwaves

MARYLAND NATURAL RESOURCES POLICE VIA AP

MARYLAND The carcasses of 13 bald eagles that were found over the weekend in a field on Maryland’s Eastern Shore have been sent to a forensic laboratory in Oregon that’s been dubbed the CSI lab for animals, where they will undergo a thorough analysis to figure out what caused their deaths.

The eagles were discovered Saturday near the intersection of Richardson and Laurel Grove roads in Federalsburg.

There were no obvious signs of trauma to the birds. And it was not immediately known what killed them, said investigators from the Maryland Natural Resources Police and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

It is the largest single such incident of dead eagles in the state in 30 years, experts said.

The carcasses were sent Monday night to the National Fish and Wildlife Forensic Laboratory in Ashland, Ore., officials said. The lab bills itself as a crime lab that is “very much like a ‘typical’ police lab, except the victim is an animal.”

Officials there have said they often get a wide range of evidence, from eagle talons to decomposed boa constructors,

wolves and skunk carcasses.

Officials at the lab said the 13 eagles from Maryland will go through the same process as other carcasses: They’ll be physically examined by vet pathologists, X-ray images will be taken, and liver, stomach, kidney, urine and blood samples will be collected and analyzed. Screenings will also be done to look for possible poisons, and a necropsy will be conducted.

In Maryland, there are several theories on the cause of death.

One is that they were poisoned.

An area landowner may have sprayed a chemical on a field that could have adversely impacted the eagles. Or poison used to kill rodents could be the culprit. The rodents may have died outdoors,

and then the eagles ate the carcasses and were poisoned in turn.

Another theory is that there could be something like botulism or a naturally occurring bluegreen algal toxin that got into area vegetation. Waterfowl eat that vegetation and then the eagles may have eaten the waterfowl.

“Thirteen [eagles dead] in one spot is either something natural occurring, or there was some type of poison involved,” said Bill Bowerman, head of the Department of Environmental Science and Technology at the University of Maryland.

Bald eagles are no longer on the endangered species list, but they are considered a protected species. DANA HEDGPETH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Voters in Virginia right now are seeing television ads only in support of two candidates: Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Marco Rubio. Clinton has bought $148,905 worth of time in Richmond and $60,025 in Roanoke, according to a Virginia Public Access Project analysis of Federal Communications Commission data.

Conservative Solutions, a super PAC supporting Rubio, is on air with an $87,825 buy in the Richmond area and a $52,610 buy in Hampton Roads. Virginia holds its Democratic and Republican primaries on crowded Super Tuesday, March 1, so voters won’t get the one-on-one interaction with candidates that early primary states enjoyed. (TWP)

local BLACKSBURG, VA. Nicole Madison Lovell, the 13-year-old Blacksburg middle schooler slain in January, died from stab wounds to the neck, according to the official results of an investigation by the Virginia medical examiner’s office.

Two Virginia Tech students have been arrested on charges related to her disappearance and death. Tracie Cooper, the administrator for the Roanoke office of the Virginia medical examiner, said that Lovell’s death was a homicide.

Police have said that David

Eisenhauer, 18, was a dedicated engineering student at Virginia Tech and competitive cross-country runner when he began an inappropriate relationship with Lovell, a seventh-grader at Blacksburg Middle School. Lovell’s mother, Tammy Weeks, said that her daughter met Eisenhauer online.

Prosecutors allege that Eisenhauer lured Lovell out of her home and killed her in a remote spot near Blacksburg. Police arrested Eisenhauer on charges of abduction and first-degree murder and charged a second Virginia Tech engineering student, Natalie

EDUCATION REPORT February 24, 2016

American University’s Masters of Science in Sustainability Management Can Energize Your Career with Innovative Solutions

N

ow in its fifth year, the American University (AU) Masters of Science in Sustainability Management (MSSM) program, offered through the Kogod School of Business, adopts an interdisciplinary approach that encourages integrative thinking and innovative solutions to business, science, policy, and international opportunities and challenges. Important issues such as climate disruption, poverty and inequality, clean technologies, water quality, falling oil prices, and international conflict present people who lead businesses, governments, and civil society with both possibilities and problems regarding the advancement of long-term quality of life.

According to MSSM Program Director Professor Mark Starik, the Masters of Science in Sustainability Management is designed to motivate and educate students to become business-minded professionals who are strategically aware of both environmental and socio-economic sustainability issues and skilled at working in industry, in their own businesses, and in regulatory, non-profit, communications, and diplomatic arenas that effectively address those issues head-on. In addition, the program promotes action-oriented change agents who are determined to advance the capacity of organizations, individuals, and communities to move towards better long-term quality of life for us all.

Graduates of the degree program are prepared to work in a variety of settings, from large and small businesses in many different industries, to governments and nonprofits, as well as hybrid combinations, such as publicprivate partnerships, cooperatives, and B Corps.

AU/Kogod MSSM students enter the program from a variety of undergraduate programs, work backgrounds, and geographic locations. Their past academic work has been conducted in the areas of environmental science, environmental education, political science, public administration, architecture, accounting, finance, and marketing, among others, while their employment experience has included positions in real estate, water management, investments, information technology, construction, and energy management, to name a few represented sectors. Their previous employers have included PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the National Academy of Sciences, the World Wildlife Federation, DC Greenworks, and the U.S. Department of Energy.

And, besides multiple locations around the U.S. and its territories, MSSM students call home countries such as Colombia, Malaysia, and Venezuela.

The students’ career goals are as varied as their professional histories.

Among their several career orientations are sustainable city management, real estate development, sustainability accounting, corporate energy consulting, social entrepreneurship, and smart growth management. And, MSSM students

have connected and developed their incoming interests and coursework with internships and career positions at such organizations as Pacific Gas & Electric, Navigant, Weber Shandwick, the National Association of Homebuilders, Terracycle, VOX Global, the Washington, D.C. Department of Environment, Island Press, and the Environmental Defense Fund, among many others.

The program emphasizes experiential learning by planning and conducting sustainability projects in and with organizations, developing a broad and deep understanding of the interconnectedness between and among businesses, governments, and non-profit organizations in advancing sustainability, and helping students become globally-minded and globallylinked through coursework and relationships built with international organizations and academic institutions.

Kogod’s home in Washington, D.C. provides access to businesses and business associations, policymakers, international diplomats, NGOs, local, state, regional, and national agencies, and international institutions. The MSSM students also have the opportunity to gain realworld sustainability experience through internships and international study trips.

The program is a good fit for AU, as the university is one of the “greenest” in the country, featuring an active Office of Sustainability, which sets and helps achieve sustainability goals for the campus. Initiatives include pledges to be carbon neutral and to send zero waste to landfills by 2020. AU itself has been named to the Princeton Review Green Honor Roll (2015), the Sierra Club Top Ten “Cool School” Rankings (2014), and has earned a STARS Gold Rating and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Green Power Leadership Award (2013).

The MSSM program’s business, science, policy, and international elements are also strengths of AU. “As future graduates in our Master of Science in Sustainability Management program,” says Professor Starik, “our students will be prepared to help lead organizations to leverage sustainability opportunities, to solve sustainability challenges, and to become valuable members of companies that are addressing the most salient sustainability issues of our time, such as climate change, debilitating poverty, food security, vanishing biodiversity, and community resilience.”

local PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY Authorities announced Tuesday they have filed federal charges against an elementary school volunteer who was arrested for allegedly producing child porn.

Deonte Carraway, 22, was indicted on eight federal felony counts of child pornography in addition to the 10 felony charges of child pornography and other related sex offenses filed against him in Prince George’s County.

He faces life in prison.

The federal complaint against Carraway includes what prosecutors said is an excerpt of his

written confession to police. In it, Carraway said he directed only one video and had the children record the others.

“How I get the videos is the kids would send them in the Chat,” Carraway said in a statement to investigators, according to the federal complaint. “I would hide them, but I really do care for the children.”

The federal complaint also describes Carraway engaging in sex with some children. The complaint also alleges that Carraway removed one victim from a class and took the child to another room

GOP senators again vow to delay SCOTUS action SUPREME COURT The Senate will take no action on anyone President Barack Obama nominates to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday as nearly all Republicans rallied behind his calls to leave the seat vacant for the next president to fill.

The announcement by McConnell, R-Ky., came after Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee ruled out any hearing for an Obama pick.

“I agree with the Judiciary Committee’s recommendation

to not have hearings. In short, there will not be action taken,” McConnell told reporters.

In a letter to McConnell, Judiciary panel Republicans wrote, “Because our decision is based on constitutional principle and born of a necessity to protect the will of the American people, this committee will not hold hearings on any Supreme Court nominee until after our next president is sworn in on January 20, 2017.”

SULAYMANIYAH, IRAQ | A sculpture by artist Bakhtiar Halabjay on a pier depicts Alan Kurdi, a 3-year-old Syrian boy who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea last year. Photographs of the boy’s lifeless body, washed up on a Turkish beach, went viral and precipitated a global outcry, bringing focus to the Syrian refugee crisis.

The Great Wall of Kabul, according to Afghan lore, holds terrible secrets. The legend is usually dated to the sixth or seventh centuries, when Kabul’s ruthless king allegedly forced his male subjects to build the Great Wall to protect the city from invaders. Those who would not work on the wall were sealed inside it.

But the old legend just got real. In April 2013, heavy rains caused a section of the wall to collapse.

Amid the damp dirt shone something smooth and pale. It was a human skull, adding some weight to what previously had been a tall but rather thin tale. But there’s a catch.

Experts in Germany determined that the skull is not, in fact, 1,500 years old. Instead, it is about a third that age. The revelation has thrown the legend for a loop.

nation+world POLITICS A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that State Department officials and top aides to Hillary Clinton should be questioned under oath about whether they intentionally thwarted federal open records laws by using or allowing the use of a private email server throughout Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of Washington came in a lawsuit over public records brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group, regarding

its May 2013 request for information about the employment arrangement of Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide.

A State Department official said that the department is aware of the order and that it is reviewing it. Discovery orders are not readily appealable.

Sullivan set an April deadline for parties to work out a detailed investigative plan — subject to court approval — that would reach well beyond the limited explanations of the use of the private server that department and Clinton officials have given.

Judge: Clinton staff to be questioned

As part of a lawsuit, Hillary Clinton now faces a possible sub-poena of even more email records.

Sullivan also suggested that he might order the department to subpoena Clinton and Abedin to return all records related to Clinton’s private account, not just those their camps have deemed work-related and returned.

“There has been a constant drip, drip, drip of declarations,” Sullivan said, adding that months of revelations create “at least a ‘reasonable suspicion’ ” that access to government records under the Freedom of Information Act was undermined. “This case is about the public’s right to know.”

CDC: 14 possible cases of Zika spread via sex High number suggests disease spreads more easily than thought

HEALTH Federal and state health officials are investigating 14 new reports of potential sexual transmission of the Zika virus in the United States, including several cases involving pregnant women, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disclosed Tuesday.

In at least two of the cases, a Zika infection was confirmed in women whose only known risk factor was sexual contact with an ill male partner who recently had returned from one of the nearly three dozen countries where the virus has now spread. Four other women have tested positive for

Zika in preliminary lab tests but are awaiting final confirmation.

The CDC said the eight other cases remain under investigation.

Even if all the cases under investigation are not ultimately confirmed, Anne Schuchat, the CDC’s deputy director, said the growing number of reports suggests that sexual transmission of the Zika virus, which is suspected of being linked to serious birth defects and a rare autoimmune disease, is more possible than researchers previously had realized.

Officials said the same scenario played out in most, if not all, of the suspected cases: A man who had traveled to a Zika-affected area returned the U.S. and had sex with a female partner, who soon began to display symptoms consistent with Zika. The agency

did not identify the states where these cases are being investigated.

Schuchat said that in each case, the man had displayed symptoms of Zika, such as fever, rash or joint pain — a notable fact, given that as many as 80 percent of people infected with Zika never show symptoms. She said researchers still aren’t sure whether only men who have symptoms can transmit the disease to their partners, but it’s a possibility.

Earlier this month, Dallas health officials reported that a local resident had been infected with the Zika virus by having sex with a person who had contracted the disease while traveling in Venezuela. The Dallas case marked the first report of local transmission in the U.S. BRADY DENNIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

SUPREME COURT

Hospital will pay $1 million to family of Eric Garner

Doctor: Scalia suffered from many health issues

Scientists at rocket science company Orbital ATK, hired by the auto industry, have determined that multiple factors — including age, moisture and high humidity — can cause some Takata air bags to inflate with too much force and hurl shrapnel at drivers and passengers. The Independent Testing Coalition, which has been investigating the cause for the past year, announced Tuesday that three factors, working together, can cause the air bags to explode with too much force. Air bags made by Japan’s Takata Corp. have caused at least 10 deaths and 139 injuries worldwide. (AP)

The hospital center that dispatched paramedics and treated Eric Garner as he died after being placed in a chokehold by police has agreed to pay $1 million to the family, according to court records. Court documents said “the EMTs did not conduct the appropriate examination” of Garner at the scene and “failed to provide him with the necessary life-saving procedures.” The settlement with Richmond University Medical Center is confidential and wasn’t part of the $5.9 million agreement announced by the city in July. The figure is the maximum allowed under the hospital center’s liability insurance policy, according to court papers. (AP)

A letter from the Supreme Court’s doctor says Antonin Scalia suffered from coronary artery disease, obesity and diabetes, among other ailments that probably contributed to the justice’s sudden death.

District Attorney Rod Ponton of Presidio County, Texas, cited the letter Tuesday when he said there was nothing suspicious about the Feb. 13 death of the 79-year-old jurist in West Texas. Ponton said the multiple health problems made an autopsy unnecessary. Ponton had a copy of a letter from Rear Adm. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician for members of Congress and the Supreme Court. (AP)

Why millennials don’t want cereal for breakfast Few things are as painless to prepare as cereal. Making it requires little more than pouring something (a cereal of your choice) into a bowl and then pouring something else (a milk of your choice) into the same bowl.

Eating it requires little more than a spoon and your mouth. The food, which Americans still buy $10 billion of annually, has thrived over the decades, at least in part, because of this very quality: Its convenience.

And yet, for today’s youth, cereal isn’t easy enough.

On Monday, The New York Times published a story about the breakfast favorite, finding that “almost 40 percent of the millennials surveyed

by Mintel for its 2015 report said cereal was an inconvenient breakfast choice because they had to clean up after eating it.”

The industry, the piece explained, is struggling — sales have tumbled by almost 30 percent over the past 15 years, and the future remains uncertain. And the reasons are largely those one would expect: Many people are eating breakfast away from the home, choosing breakfast sandwiches and yogurt instead of more traditional morning staples, or not eating breakfast at all.

But there is another thing happening, which should scare cereal makers — and, really, anyone who has a stake in this country’s future — more: A large contingent of millennials are uninterested in breakfast cereal because eating it means using a bowl, and bowls don’t clean themselves (or get tossed in the garbage). Bowls, kids these days groan, have to be cleaned. ROBERTO A. FERDMAN

Prisoner of the moment Obama urges Congress to shut down Gitmo, but his window to act might have passed

The new face of credit card security: Yours

on what to do about Guantanamo.

Margulies thinks the most likely outcome is that Obama and his team whittle down the detainees the best they can, and in the end he leaves two- or threedozen languishing in Cuba for the next president to deal with.

It’s not perfect, but Obama can argue that, of the 800 or so prisoners who have ever been held there, leaving with just three-dozen isn’t bad.

But Obama most likely will never be able to say that he closed Guantanamo Bay prison for good. And even he has admitted that he simply waited too long.

“The politics of it got tough, and people got scared by the rhetoric around it,” he said in March last year. “Once that set in, the path of least resistance was to leave it open, even though it is not who we are as a country.”

Reasonable people can debate that last point, but Obama’s political analysis here is spot-on.

MasterCard wants to use your face to help fend off fraudsters.

Using a new system called MasterCard Identity Check — or, colloquially, “selfie pay” — the credit card company will use biometric methods like face recognition and fingerprint scans to better secure online shopping.

Right now, Mastercard offers a feature that financial institutions can enable that lets customers set up a password for online payments to help prevent fraud. The new system will use the same principle, but instead of relying on a password that could be forgotten or stolen, it uses your face or fingerprint.

Consumers will go through all the normal steps of filling out credit card information when making an online purchase, but this feature adds another step: The website will send a notification through an app on customers’ smartphones that asks them to verify their identity.

This can be done either through a fingerprint scan or by using the phone’s camera to take a brief, selfie-like, video.

When taking the “selfie,” the user will have to blink to prove that it’s a live person and not just an old photo being used to spoof the system. MasterCard started testing the feature with nearly 1,000 consumers in the United States and the Netherlands last year. It plans to make it more broadly available this summer.

NATIONAL SECURITY Most constitutional scholars would agree the ability to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has always rested solely in President Barack Obama’s hands.

As the commander-in-chief of the U.S. military, Obama simply doesn’t need Congress’ approval to shut down the military prison.

But Obama has waited and political opposition has built so much that it’s quite possible he missed his window altogether.

As Obama asks Congress for a final time to help him out, he is more likely than not to leave office with one of his signature campaign promises unfulfilled.

In January 2009, a freshly inaugurated Obama signed an executive order directing the prison be closed in a year. He set up a task force to help him come up with a plan of what to do with the remaining 245 or so prisoners.

Almost immediately, said Cornell Law professor Joseph Margulies, the conservative media started to cry foul at the idea. What had been a rallying point among a political left that was alarmed by allegations of torture there under the George W. Bush administration became a rallying point on the right. Conservatives were alarmed Obama would mishandle such a matter of national security.

Obama’s self-imposed January 2010 deadline to close Guantanamo came and went. Closing the facility, he told reporters in November 2009, is “also just technically hard.” Next year it would shutter, he predicted.

But as time went on, it got much more difficult for Obama to act. Republicans in Congress who

were concerned the president didn’t really have a plan joined with enough Senate Democrats concerned about where these prisoners would go and put up a roadblock. They used their leverage and the power of the purse to pass legislation preventing Obama from spending even a nickel to move detainees to the U.S. for detention and trial.

That’s largely where the battle lines stayed over the years. As Obama spent seven years trying to craft a consensus plan to shut down the prison — the most detailed of which he announced Tuesday — the opposition spent seven years rallying politicians and Americans to oppose it.

Experts think Obama won’t move the remaining 90 or so prisoners here over Congress’ objections. Doing so would almost certainly welcome lawsuits from Congress, said Jim Cohen, a law professor at Fordham University, and even criticism from many Democrats. So Obama is stuck

Obama’s exit strategy The Obama administration on Tuesday sent Congress its plan to shut down the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center and relocate detainees to a U.S.-based prison. (AP) WHAT OBAMA SAYS: “If we don’t do what’s required now, I think future generations are going to look back and ask why we failed to act when the right course … and our best American traditions [were] clear.”

WHAT’S MISSING: The plan leaves unanswered the question of where in the U.S. a new facility would be located and offered broad cost estimates. The White House described it as more of a conversation starter than a definitive outline.

GOP OPPOSITION: ”Since it includes bringing dangerous terrorists to facilities in U.S. communities, [Obama] knows that the bipartisan will of Congress has already been expressed against that proposal,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said.

The 1-2 punch of Jarrod Uthoff (18.8 points) and Peter Jok (16.3) leads a potent and efficient offense that is fifth nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio, according to STATS. The No. 8 Hawkeyes don’t have as efficient a defense, but they’ve still managed to beat Michigan State twice. Coach Fran McCaffery has said his club understands “how you have to continue to believe in each other.”

The Spartans stumbled from No. 1 as Denzel Valentine recovered from a knee injury, but they’re rolling now.

They’re tied with North Carolina for fourth in adjusted offensive efficiency (119.4), lead the country in rebounding margin (plus-11.6), rank second in assist-to-turnover ratio and are third in 3-point shooting (42 percent). The No. 6 Spartans have beaten Kansas, Louisville and Maryland, although their overall schedule strength is just 53rd.

Kansas There is plenty to like about the second-ranked Jayhawks. Led by senior Perry Ellis, Kansas ranks sixth in adjusted offensive efficiency (118.8) and 21st in defense (94.5) against a difficult schedule. And the Jayhawks rank fourth in 3-point shooting (42 percent). They’ve also beaten Oklahoma (twice), West Virginia and Kentucky.

Maryland Sophomore Melo Trimble leads five double-figure scorers for the 10th-ranked Terps, who are 14th in adjusted defensive efficiency (93.6) and 12th in free-throw shooting (76 percent). But they lack high-end wins outside of beating Iowa. They also lost last week to a Minnesota team that was 0-13 in the Big Ten.

North Carolina The preseason No. 1 team scores, takes care of the basketball (third in assist-to-turnover ratio) and hits the glass (17th in rebounding margin) with possibly the nation’s deepest roster.

That includes last week’s home loss to undermanned Duke, though they routed thenNo. 11 Miami days later.

Villanova The Wildcats, currently ranked No. 1 in the country, are in the top 15 in adjusted efficiency ratings for both offense and defense. The Wildcats rank 15th offensively (116.5) and fourth defensively (91) — and their guard-led lineup makes a nation-leading 78.1 percent of their free throws. One blemish for Villanova: The Wildcats lost measuring-stick nonconference games to Oklahoma and Virginia by double figures.

The Papelbon experiment

CAPITALS

Club will seek a little help before trade deadline

ANALYSIS With Jonathan Papelbon, you’re in for a dime, in for a dollar. The Nationals have decided that they’re in. All in. They have doubled down on their bet on Papelbon at the trade deadline last year. He’s not just still on the team after choking Bryce Harper. He’s also entrenched as its closer and maybe a team leader and tone-setter.

Upon arriving at camp last week, Papelbon apologized publicly for the fight — “I was in the wrong” — answered every question and then vowed he would retire the subject for the year.

By the next day, he was fullblown Pap again. Loud and large, at the center of the room, picking the team’s music playlist.

Later, he walked the team complex in a cut-off muscle Tshirt with arrows pointing to big biceps covered in jagged tattoos. The shirt said: “Obama Can’t Ban These Guns.”

If the Nationals were an accounting firm, he would be a contagious and damaging disease.

But baseball’s not that simple.

Papelbon could easily prove to be a clubhouse cancer. At 35, he could even be washed up. But on a team that new manager Dusty Baker says needs to have more fun and rediscover its swagger, it’s conceivable that Papelbon could also be part of a cure.

His locker is next to jovial

JOHN McDONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Keeping the fiery closer could help club regain crucial fun and swagger

Nationals management hopes that Jonathan Papelbon will be a reliable closer and a plus for team chemistry.

Gio Gonzalez, a pairing of blithe spirit and Metallica. On Saturday, Pap, a conditioning freak, was agitating the laid-back Gonzalez about his workouts and his arrival time at the park. When Gonzalez messed up a couple of fielding drills, Papelbon said, “Do it over.” Gio did. All fun but with a point. On Sunday, Gio was one of the first in the clubhouse, perhaps a sight never before seen in Viera, Fla., in February.

“I kind of liked that,” Baker said of the Pap corrections.

“Means I don’t have to say it.”

Just as in Boston and Philadelphia, where Papelbon set save records, teammates can choose to feed off his utter-extrovert energy, his crazed competitiveness

and his 349 saves.

Or they can focus on his arrogant attitude and the chance they will wake up to find, as Manny Ramirez once did, that he just ripped them in a national magazine for “selfishness.”

Papelbon still has a grievance pending against the Nats for the four-game suspension they gave him for the Harper fight. Just business, no ill feeling, he says.

In a karmic twist, Harper’s reputation for team-leader-level maturity has jumped since he said this month that he hoped “Pap saves 55 games this year and wins the Cy Young Award.”

If this chemistry experiment succeeds, with friend-to-theworld Baker, Papelbon and bubbly

center fielder Ben Revere joining wacky Max Scherzer, fans may see a team — often tight under pressure the past two years — that regains some of the baseballas-fun approach of 2012.

If anybody can make it work, it’s Baker, who got MVP years from Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent, who hated each other through six successful years with Dusty.

The Nationals have circled the wagons — around Papelbon. If this works, everyone will look like geniuses.

If it doesn’t, we can look forward to Jonathan Papelbon Bobblehead Day. Be careful when you get the doll home. If you look at it wrong, its head blows off.

TOWN SQUARE

PETE RYAN (FOR EXPRESS)

L.A. luxury coming to Mt. Vernon Triangle

You’ll pay for their stay Thinking of making some cash through Airbnb? It could cost more than you think.

FEES If you’re planning on getting out of town, renting out your home while you’re away can be a quick way to earn some extra spending money.

Listing your home for rent through websites like Airbnb, HomeAway and VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner) can be fairly simple. But you may find that becoming a host can get complicated and potentially costly if you don’t prepare. (Make sure to find out if your community allows for short-term rentals — many cities and homeowners associations prohibit them.)

One of the biggest issues hosts need to be mindful of (aside from the fact that a stranger will be staying in their home) is the tax bill they might face. The implications vary based on whether or not you live in the house or apartment and how long you’re renting it out.

Here are some tax guidelines based on your living situation:

You rent out your place for up to 14 days a year The money earned from the short-term rental of your personal home does not need to be reported as income if the home is rented out for fewer than 15 days.

(That’s a firm rule.) A home is considered personal if you live in it for more than 14 days or more than 10 percent of the total days it is rented out to others.

One thing to watch out for: Because Airbnb sends tax forms documenting the income to the IRS, some hosts may get a letter from the agency asking them to pay on unreported income. But if the stays fall within the 14-day period, hosts can explain in a letter that the income is not taxable and attach proof, says Jackie Perlman, principal tax research analyst at H&R Block Tax Institute.

You rent out your place for more than two weeks a year If your personal home is rented

The landlord’s in on it The Wall Street Journal reported in December that Airbnb has begun talks with some of the nation’s largest landlords about revenue-sharing models in which they might allow tenants to rent their apartments on Airbnb for a cut of the money. That would give tenants confidence that they don’t have to use Airbnb on the sly, risking eviction. (TWP)

personal, say a vacation home, and you rent it out, then that money must be reported as rental income on the Schedule E. Rental costs can be deducted, but those costs need to be separated from any expenses faced during personal use.

Other costs that you should prepare for, regardless of how long you’re loaning out your home, include:

Service fees out for more than 14 days a year, then the rent you collect must be included in your income. Because it’s a personal home, your options for taking deductions will be limited, says Jeffrey Porter, an accountant with Porter & Associates in Huntington, W. Va.

You rent out a place that isn’t your main home If you don’t stay at a home often enough for it to be considered

Airbnb charges hosts a 3 percent fee that covers the cost of processing payments. HomeAway, which owns VRBO.com, charges hosts for listing their homes on the site. People planning to use the site regularly can pay $349 annually to advertise their property and are not charged a commission for each booking. Those renting their homes out less frequently can opt to avoid the CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

The city-owned land at 901 5th St. NW, also known as “5th and I,” will soon be home to the first SLS Lux Hotel & Residences. This new development, to be managed by Los Angeles-based luxury lifestyle and hospitality company SBE, is anticipated to provide an ultraluxurious lifestyle for condo owners. The D.C. development will include 198 hotel rooms and 59 condominiums.

Condo owners will have access to concierge services, a spa, club areas and executive meeting spaces. The company has yet to announce which restaurant will be in the hotel, but restaurateur Jose Andres has already partnered with SLS in other locations.

annual fee by paying 10 percent nt for each booking made through gh the site instead.

Supplies Airbnb recommends that hosts ts provide clean linens, towels ls and other amenities to guests.

Depending on how often you’ll be having guests, it might make sense to buy a separate set of linens. You may also need to invest in locks if you want to keep certain areas out of bounds. (A standard deadbolt lock can go from $10 to $30 at Home Depot.)

Cleanup You’ll probably need to spend some time cleaning the room or house both before and after you rent it out. If you’re hiring a cleaning service, you may be able to tack on a cleaning fee to the cost of the rental, but that

could make it subject to service fees charged by the websites.

You can also splurge on professional services that handle the cleanup and rearranging for you. For example, the startup Guesty will respond to booking requests, schedule cleanings and even handle the key exchange for a fee of 3 percent of the transaction.

Insurance Airbnb offers insurance to U.S. hosts that would protect them if a guest is hurt during a stay and a guarantee program that kicks in if their property is damaged

by a guest. But hosts should still call their insurance companies for additional coverage.

Some home insurance policies cover short-term rentals. But if there are multiple short-term visits, the insurance company might requi re you to buy a business policy that would cover a hotel or a bed-andbreakfast, according to the Insurance Information Institute.

If you are renting your home for a longer period of time to one person or family, you may need a landlord or rental dwelling policy, which can cost about 25 percent more than a standard homeowner’s policy, according to the institute.

Once you’ve done all of the math, you’ll have a better idea of whether it will be worth it to play the role of hotel manager — or if it is better to stay on the guest side of the equation. JONNELLE MARTE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Confused about how hotel taxes affect you? Airbnb wants to help.

This month, the short-term home rental service Airbnb began collecting taxes on behalf of residents in the District who rent out their homes — or single rooms in them — as hotel alternatives.

The District joins a handful of cities, including San Francisco, Amsterdam and Chicago, where the tech company has worked out tax deals that will remit hotel tax funds directly to city coffers.

As of Feb. 15, Airbnb began automatically collecting the local hotel or occupancy taxes, between 5 percent and 14.5 percent in the District, on every transaction. Airbnb will then pay the cities in a regular lump sum.

Stephen Cordi, the deputy chief financial officer for D.C.’s Office of Tax and Revenue, said it’s “undoubtedly true” that some Airbnb hosts in the city haven’t

been paying this tax, which supports both a convention center fund and the city’s general fund, as they should.

Airbnb would like competitors to collect taxes too, says Beth Adair, Airbnb’s global tax director, so that the company doesn’t face a disadvantage when other platforms offer untaxed homes that appear cheaper.

But that doesn’t seem likely to happen. Carl Shepherd, co-founder of HomeAway, says homeowners merely advertise their vacation properties on the platform. Airbnb, on the other hand, manages all transactions for its users.

“They’ve chosen to be the merchant,” Shepherd says. “What they’re asking if they want us to [collect taxes] is they want us to change to their business model.”

NEW AND NOTABLE

BonBon Brasil

5 new spots to try now

In the time it takes you to finish reading this sentence, at least three new restaurants will have opened in D.C. OK, that’s a bit of a stretch, but it feels as though local dining options are expanding at breakneck speed. We surveyed the horde of newcomers and put together the

following must-try list. All five of these restaurants come from industry veterans, and they’re all worth a visit. (EXPRESS /THE WASHINGTON POST)

Hank’s Pasta Bar

Pineapple and Pearls

Mulebone

Tail Up Goat

Sushi Ogawa

600 Montgomery St., Alexandria; 571-312-4117

715 Eighth St. SE

2121 14th St. NW; 202-332-9672

1827 Adams Mill Road NW; 202-986-9600

2100 Connecticut Ave. NW; 202-813-9715

This Southern-inspired newcomer replaced Eatonville earlier this year. It’s under the same ownership (community activist Andy Shallal), though the kitchen is helmed by Joseph Paire III. Expect classics such as buttermilk-fried chicken skins, skillet mac and cheese and gumbo with cornbread. Cocktails come courtesy of mixologist Evan Cablayan. There’s also a globally minded vintage shop within the restaurant overseen by Desiree Venn Frederic of Nomad Yard Collectiv.

The addition of Tail Up Goat continues to raise the dining bar in Adams Morgan. You’ll happily trade that soppy piece of jumbo slice for more carefully prepared foods with a Mediterranean bent. Run by a trio of Komi alumni (Jon Sybert, Jill Tyler and Bill Jensen), this cozy spot is packed with precious touches — from the poem at the front of the menu to the dreamy decor, including high, lofted ceilings. Both the service and the food will have you wanting to visit for a quick bite or a special occasion. H.S.

Following the success of Sushi Capitol, his sushi restaurant on Capitol Hill, chef Minoru Ogawa opened his second act in Dupont. Sushi Ogawa serves more elevated eats in a more thoughtfully designed space, with an entrance made to resemble a stroll through Japanese side streets. You have a choice of eating a la carte in the dining room or sidling up to the chef’s counter for a set omakase menu. You can’t go wrong with either, but the latter promises more twists and turns (with a higher check). H.S.

Chefs and colleagues Jamie Leeds (founder of Hank’s Oyster Bar) and Nicolas Flores had long dreamed of collaborating on a pasta project. That led to them opening this pasta house that serves generous, lightly sauced portions of the carbs. Many of the pastas are the handiwork of “pasta mama” Mirabella Salamanca, who starts making the fresh stuff each morning. Why go to that effort? Not only does fresh pasta cook faster, Leeds says, but it’s more delicate and chewy.

Rose’s Luxury chef Aaron Silverman’s refined take on a java shop serves coffee drinks from Parlor Coffee in Brooklyn, tea, lemon-thyme shortbread cookies, several housemade rolls and a trio of sandwiches, including a grilled chicken chimichurri on olive oil brioche. All the breads and rolls are made in-house. The cafe is a prelude to Silverman’s soon-to-open tasting room housed in the back.

The coffee bar does not have any seating until the patio becomes available in warmer weather.

Everything is for takeaway.

Not quite a bonbon, not quite a truffle, a brigadeiro is a soft, chewy Brazilian sweet made of condensed milk, cocoa and butter.

BonBon Brasil, a new D.C.-based company, is bringing the decadent treat to the District.

Founders, sisters and Bethesda natives Teresa and Valeria Boucas officially launched their business last year after demand from friends caused them to ramp up production. “Making brigadeiros brings back so many memories for us and we absolutely love sharing our culture with others,” Teresa said in an email about her family’s Brazilian heritage.

‘Fuller,’ but not much better Netflix’s ‘Full House’ reboot sticks to its old laugh-track formula

How ‘black-ish’ plans to tackle police brutality

MICHAEL YARISH (NETFLIX VIA AP)

TV REVIEW If you like this kind of thing, odds are you’ll want to cancel weekend plans and binge on “Fuller House.”

Meanwhile, everyone else is strenuously cautioned against Netflix’s spinoff of the 198795 sitcom “Full House,” whose arrival has been awaited with unaccountable waves of excitement from some quarters. Fair warning to the rest: “Fuller House” will be available — all 13 episodes — starting Friday.

When “Full House” was riding high on ABC, it was retrograde domestic comedy even then: a loving but wisecracking family anchored in a living room and propelled by saccharine story lines that concluded with life lessons, hugs and appreciative awwws from the audience soundtrack.

Since so much time has passed, the original conceit has been deftly warmed over for the 21st century. That is, the original “Full House” followed the adventures of widower Bob Saget after he recruited brother-in-law John Stamos and best friend

If you’re a fan of “Full House,” which featured younger versions of Kimmy, Stephanie and D.J., you’ll like the spinoff.

Dave Coulier to share his San Francisco digs and help raise his three girls.

This go-around, Saget’s widowed daughter D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure) enlists her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and her best friend, Kimmy (Andrea Barber), a single mother with a sassy teenage daughter, to share that same house and help raise her three boys, ages 12 and 7 plus a newborn.

All this is established in the

first episode, which sets the stage by reintroducing the three female characters (played by its all-grown-up “Full House” alumnae) along with reuniting Saget, Coulier and Stamos.

But make no mistake: The original triumvirate apparently won’t have much of a presence in what’s as much a handoff as a spinoff. After the all-star premiere, Stamos (whose character has now moved to Los Angeles) appears pp in just one episode, with

Coulier (supposedly now a Las Vegas resident) seen in just one other, among the six half-hours made available for preview.

TV has never been shy about copying itself, and “Fuller House” revives the comfortably familiar formula of old.

Pressing forward by taking a big step backward, it picks up predictably where “Full House” left off, beckoning to all viewers who want a sugar fix. You know who you are. FRAZIER MOORE (AP)

Ava DuVernay to direct ‘A Wrinkle in Time’

Spike Lee endorses Sanders in radio ad

‘ANTM’s new pose

Ava DuVernay is set to direct an adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s 1963 fantasy classic “A Wrinkle in Time” for Disney. A studio source confirmed the collaboration on Tuesday, but was not authorized to discuss the deal publicly and requested anonymity. The film is expected to go into production later this year with a script from “Frozen” writer and co-director Jennifer Lee. (AP)

Filmmaker Spike Lee is endorsing Bernie Sanders for president in a South Carolina radio ad. Arguing, in Sanders’ words, that the “system is rigged,” Lee praises Sanders for not taking money from corporations.

And in a reference to one of his early films, Lee says that once in the White House, Sanders “will do the right thing.” The writer, director and actor’s films include “Do the Right Thing” and “Malcolm X.” (AP)

Fans of “America’s Next Top Model,” mourn no more: The modeling reality competition lives on. VH1 has picked up the show, which recently ended its 22-cycle run, Deadline reports. Tyra Banks, who created, executive produced and hosted the series, will continue on as an executive producer, though a new host will be brought in. (EXPRESS)

NYT: PBS is starting a new 24-hour channel dedicated solely to children’s programming

TELEVISION As tense crowds await a grand jury’s decision in a case of possible police brutality, a child watching TV news coverage asks his parents a simple but loaded question: “Why are these people so mad?” the African-American boy queries in tonight’s episode of “black-ish,” prompting the TV family’s debate over how much to tell children about how harsh the world may or may not be.

The ABC comedy began its second season with a deft look at the casual use of the N-word, so it’s unsurprising it would take on the thornier subject of police treatment of blacks through a fictional case in which a black man was hit with a Taser by officers.

But Kenya Barris, the show’s creator and executive producer, said his goal was to prompt viewer conversations about how parents respond to the deluge of worrying information children face in these hyper-connected times.

The episode, which airs at 9:30 p.m., “had less to do with police brutality and more to do with talking to your kids about the world they’re living in and they can’t avoid anymore,” he said.

“How do you talk to your kids about hard things and not make scorched-earth whatever their experiences are going to be based on your experiences” and perspective, Barris said.

The point is that all individuals, black or otherwise, have their own perspective, Barris said, and that was key to “black-ish” from the start. LYNN ELBER (AP)
