The pay-what-you-can workshops are intended to improve education on the increasingly popular unmanned aerial vehicles and build on Open Works’ efforts to make technology and trade skills more accessible to the local community, said Will Holman, general manager of Open Works. “The long-term vision for Open Works, the 10-year horizon, is to create a real pipeline of grassroots economic development,” Holman said. Commercial and recreational drone use is on the rise as the price of drone technology falls and new regulations outline their legal uses.

VIRGINIA His aides could hardly keep up as Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe strode through the U.S. Capitol. “Anybody from Virginia?” he boomed at a startled group of tourists. He told a Belgian family to “spend every dime you’ve got in Virginia,” and buttonholed Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., to whisper about a bill. “Appreciate it, buddy,” McAuliffe said as he broke away. “See? A good Republican senator. I get along with everybody.” In the hallowed heart of American politics, hosting a group of governors from across the nation, McAuliffe managed to stand out as an alpha politician. He could out-sound-bite, out-gladhand and simply outlast almost all the big-league professionals around him. “If he wasn’t so shy and retiring he might make something of himself,” Connecticut Gov. Daniel Malloy deadpanned. “If you stay in a hotel with him you don’t have to set your alarm.” McAuliffe enters his last year in office, prohibited by the Virginia constitution from serving a consecutive term, with his future unclear. Virginia is right

Va. Gov. Terry McAuliffe has aggressively criticized the President Trump’s Muslim travel ban and stepped up immigration enforcement.

where he likes it, in the spotlight, with the race to replace him this year drawing national attention as a referendum on the Trump presidency. But McAuliffe is vague about his plans — including whether he’s considering a presidential bid of his own in four years. It’s still a long way off, of course, but McAuliffe has gained national stature after years in the background as the Clinton family’s fixer and fundraiser. McAuliffe was in Washington as chairman of the National Governors Association, which held its winter meeting here. McAuliffe gets praise from his fellow governors for his leadership of the group, which tends to stress common issues and play

down party divisions. “I think he’s doing an outstanding job,” Gov. Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., said. “He brings an incredible amount of energy to it.” McAuliffe spent much of the weekend giving television interviews, making speeches and leading conversations with members of the Trump administration. He said it was all part of throwing himself into the task at hand, and not a warmup for national aspirations. But he wouldn’t rule out a presidential run, either. “I have no intentions of doing it,” he said. “But would I dismiss it out of hand? Of course not. I don’t dismiss anything out of hand.” GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

This winter’s 70-degree days and lack of snow have surely put a smile on the face of many in the MidAtlantic. But it has placed enormous stress on ski areas, which are enduring one of the most challenging seasons in years. Snow cover is eroding along the edge of slopes while bare patches expand in the middle. Many resorts have decided to reduce hours of operations. At western Maryland’s Wisp resort, they’ve closed altogether. Virginia’s Wintergreen resort posted on its website that it had discontinued night skiing, while Bryce resort trimmed its weekday hours. Massanutten resort also began an “abbreviated schedule” as of Sunday, “due to unseasonably warm temperatures,” its website said. (TWP)

local Dispute comes after a lawsuit seeking relief of overtime obligation TRANSPORTATION Metro is threatening legal action and to hire more outside contractors after its largest employee union urged workers not to take voluntary overtime in a robocall. General Manager Paul Wiedefeld issued a heated response to the labor action Monday, calling it a “threat.” Wiedefeld said Metro relies on its workforce to move hundreds of thousands of passengers, reliably operate bus and train service, and perform needed maintenance tasks on a

daily basis. “This is why I am especially disturbed to learn that the leadership … is threatening a potentially unlawful and disruptive action of encouraging employees to turn down overtime,” Wiedefeld said in a memo to employees. It was further evidence of a rift between the transit agency and its largest union as they work to negotiate a new contract. The union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689, on Sunday placed a robocall urging members not to work beyond 40 hours a week. The call was in response to a lawsuit Metro filed in federal court seeking relief from an overtime obligation to

long-tenured employees. The provision allows senior employees to earn double time for working seven days a week. Metro is fighting the policy on safety-related grounds, saying it makes no concession for “potential fatigue.” But an arbitrator last year found the policy is consistent with the collective bargaining agreement. Metro and the union are in the midst of tense negotiations, and the union push appears timed to strain the transit agency as it whittles down the workforce and makes other moves some view as anti-worker, including outsourcing some tasks to contractors.

Trump seeks $54B spike to the military’s budget POLITICS President Trump will propose a federal budget that dramatically increases defense-related spending by $54 billion while cutting other federal agencies by the same amount, according to an administration official. The proposal represents a massive increase in federal spending related to national security, while other priorities, especially foreign aid, would see significant reductions. According to the White House, the defense budget will increase by 10 percent. Trump will also request $30 billion in supplementary military spending for the fiscal year 2017, according to an administration official. But without providing any specifics, the administration said that most other discretionary spending programs will be slashed to pay for it. Officials singled out foreign aid, one of the smallest parts of the federal budget, saying it would see “large reductions” in spending. The full budget negotiations between Trump and Congress will not be complete for many months. The White House did not specify how Trump’s budget would address mandatory spending or taxes. The vast majority of

President will propose other federal agencies cut around 10 percent

federal spending comes from programs Trump can’t touch with his budget. Social Security costs were about $910 billion last year, and Medicare costs outpaced defense spending with a total cost of $588 billion in 2016. Medicaid, interest payments on existing debt, and miscellaneous costs made up an additional $1.2 trillion combined. Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget, emphasized that the priorities outlined Monday do not reflect policy on broader fiscal issues, which he said would be addressed later. “We are taking his words and

turning them into policies and dollars,” he told reporters. Defense spending accounts for almost the same proportion of the federal budget as all nondiscretionary domestic spending, meaning that the Trump administration’s proposal will result in a roughly 10 percent across-the-board cut in all other federal spending programs. Senate Minority L eader Charles Schumer said Monday, “A cut this steep almost certainly means cuts to agencies that protect consumers from Wall Street excess and protect clean air and water.” ABBY PHILLIP AND KELSEY SNELL

Bush questions Trump’s policies and comments POLITICS Former President George W. Bush rarely weighs in on current political events, but on Monday, he offered pointed critiques of President Trump’s statements and policies. Bush was interviewed on NBC’s “Today” show, where he promoted a book of his paintings of wounded veterans. As to Trump’s claim that the media is the “enemy of the people,” Bush warned that an independent press is essential to democracy and that denouncing the press at home makes it difficult for the U.S. to preach democratic values abroad. “I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy,” Bush said. “We need an independent media to hold people like me to account. “Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive and it’s important for the media to call to account people who abuse power, whether it be here or elsewhere.” On possible Trump ties to Russia, Bush said that “we all need answers” about whether the Trump campaign had contact with Russian officials, but did not think an independent prosecutor was necessary yet. Asked about the president’s proposed travel ban, Bush instead offered a defense of religious freedom, warning that the threat of terrorism is not a religious war but an ideological one.

SpaceX to fly two people to moon in 2018 SpaceX founder Elon Musk said Monday his company plans to fly two private citizens on a mission around the moon by late 2018, as part of a lunar journey that would last about a week and travel deeper into space than any human has ventured before. Musk would not name the two individuals, who he said approached the company and would pay for the flight, also not disclosing the price tag. He said the mission is designed to be autonomous — unless something goes wrong. The passengers won’t land on the moon. The announcement comes as many believe NASA, which for years was on a “journey to Mars” under the Obama administration, is increasingly focused on boosting its human spaceflight program to the moon under President Trump, who wants to make a splash in his first term. A SpaceX mission in 2018 would likely circle the moon before NASA gets another chance. NASA recently announced that it is considering speeding up development of its Space Launch System rocket and Orion crew capsule by adding astronauts to the first flight. That flight, originally set to fly without humans in 2018, would also orbit the moon. But as the space agency seeks to move faster under the Trump administration, it is now studying the feasibility of adding crews to the mission, which would then occur by 2019, officials have said.

While most new presidents enjoy a honeymoon period, Trump is saddled with record-low approval ratings — just 44 percent of Americans approve of his job performance, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey. His most sweeping executive order was blocked by federal courts, sending advisers scrambling to write a new travel and immigration directive, which the president is expected to sign Wednesday.

Trump huddled with governors and health-care executives, pledging to work together to “save Americans from Obamacare.” The Office of Management and Budget also laid the groundwork for a budget that will propose a massive increase in defense spending and sweeping cuts to domestic programs. “We’re going to do more with less and make the government lean and accountable to the people,” Trump said.

Trump’s advisers say he will use tonight’s prime-time speech to declare early progress on his campaign promises, including kick-starting construction of his proposed border wall, and to map a path ahead on thorny legislative priorities, including health care and infrastructure spending. “We spend billions in the Middle East, but we have potholes all over the country,” Trump said Monday as he previewed the address during a meeting with the nation’s governors. “We’re going to start spending on infrastructure big.” Republicans, impatient to begin making headway on an ambitious legislative agenda, hope Trump arrives on Capitol Hill armed with specifics on replacing the ACA health law and overhauling the nation’s tax system, two issues he’s so far talked about in mostly general terms. More broadly, some Republicans are eager for the president to set aside his feuds with the media, the intelligence community and the courts. “Results aren’t going to come from that,” said Judd Gregg, a former Republican senator from New Hampshire. “Results are going to come from driving the policies he said he would do.” The pressure from Republican lawmakers makes this a critical

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, above, denied Monday that there was any evidence from the intelligence community of contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian operatives, even before the committee has met on the subject. “As of right now, I don’t have any evidence of any phone calls. It doesn’t mean they don’t exist. . . . What I’ve been told by many folks is that there’s nothing there,” Nunes, R-Calif., said. Instead, the Republican said that the “major crimes” are leaks to the news media. The FBI is looking into Russia’s role in last year’s elections, and potential ties between Trump associates and the Kremlin. Democrats pushed back forcefully on the idea that conclusions could be drawn even before the investigation has really gotten up and running. In a Monday afternoon news conference, top Intelligence Committee Democrat Adam Schiff, Calif., argued that Nunes’ conclusions were “premature.” Schiff pointed to the fact that the committee has not yet received any documents, called any witnesses or even released the final agreement about the scope of its investigation. “When you begin an investigation, you don’t begin by stating what you believe to be the conclusion,” Schiff told reporters.

HEALTH An influential doctors group is beefing up warnings about marijuana’s potential harms for teens amid increasingly lax laws and attitudes on pot use. Many parents use the drug and think it’s OK for their kids, but “we would rather not mess around with the developing brain,” said Dr. Seth Ammerman. The advice comes in a new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics, published Monday in Pediatrics. The group opposes medical and recreational marijuana use for youths. It says emphasizing that message is important because most states have legalized medical use for adults, and many have decriminalized or legalized adults’ recreational use. Those trends have led parents to increasingly ask doctors about kids’ use, said Ammerman, a Stanford University professor who co-wrote the report. Some studies suggest that teens who use marijuana at least 10 times a month develop changes in brain regions affecting memory and the ability to plan. Some changes may be permanent, the report says.

teen years may lower IQ scores, and some studies have shown that starting at a young age is more likely to lead to addiction. Not all teens develop these problems and some may be more vulnerable because of genetics or other factors. Solid research on medical marijuana’s effects in children and teens is lacking, although some studies have suggested it may benefit kids with seizures. Government data show that almost 40 percent of high school students have tried marijuana, 20 percent are current users and 10 percent first tried it before age 13. Use has increased in recent years among those ages 18 and older but not among young teens. Still, kids ages 12 to 17 increasingly think that marijuana use is not harmful. LINDSEY TANNER (AP)

nation+world Muslims once again help repair vandalism, this time in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA A week ago, Muslim activist Tarek El-Messidi helped organize a fundraiser to help with the cleanup of a desecrated Jewish cemetery near St. Louis. Because it raised $130,000 — far more than needed — he promised to use the remaining money when needed to counter anti-Semitism. He hoped he wouldn’t have to dip back in so soon. But Sunday night, El-Messidi read the news of yet another vandalized Jewish cemetery, this one just miles from where he

lives in Philadelphia. He called fellow Muslim activist Linda Sarsour, and they agreed to use the remaining funds to help with repairs and restoration. Then El-Messidi drove to the cemetery to try to help. There he found a team of diverse people, including many local Muslims, doing their best to erect what he said were several hundred toppled headstones at Mount Carmel Cemetery. Police said they counted about 100 overturned. “Seeing this in person was very devastating,” El-Messidi wrote in a Facebook post. “Many people there were embracing one another in tears due to what they saw. “I want to ask all Muslims to reach out to your Jewish brothers

Administration drops voter ID law challenge The Trump administration plans to abandon the federal government’s opposition to a key portion of Texas’ toughestin-the-nation voter ID law, a U.S. Justice Department spokesman said Monday, saying the agency will no longer argue the law was intended to discriminate against minorities.

THREE POINTERS

Players like Derrick Henry in 2016 are weighed and measured — and take more invasive tests.

Intrusive job interview Researchers say exhaustive testing at the NFL Scouting Combine may be illegal PRO FOOTBALL A dozen years ago, when Jeff Foster first came to National Football Scouting, the company that runs the NFL combine, he surveyed all 32 teams. The sport’s biggest job fair has four components — an on-field workout, medical testing, player interviews and psychological testing — and Foster wanted to know what teams valued the most. “All 32 teams said medical was No. 1,” Foster said. “All 32 teams said interviews were No. 2.” The combine, which begins today, is one of the NFL’s premier events with nearly round-theclock television coverage. But the part of the event that matters most to NFL personnel executives takes place off camera. Two months before the NFL draft, 330 prospects travel to Indianapolis, where they are poked, prodded and examined for a job interview unlike any other. Times in the 40-yard dash might get the most attention, but it’s what’s discovered by doctors and trainers behind closed doors that teams find most valuable.

While NFL teams find this information critical to understanding a prospect’s fitness and capabilities, others suggest the whole exercise could unwittingly violate federal law. Researchers at the University of Houston Law Center and Harvard Law School say asking players to submit to invasive medical exams appears to violate both the Americans With Disabilities Act — which despite its name provides protections to all workers, disabled or not — and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which prohibits employers from asking about family history or using that information when making hiring decisions. While there could be a gray area between tests that measure performance and those that examine health, Glenn Cohen, a Harvard law professor who coauthored the study, says the list of questionable exams the NFL requires of draft prospects is long: heart tests, blood tests, Xrays and MRI exams, psychological tests, even exams measuring eyesight or range of motion.

Rangers host Capitals tonight (7, CSN+)

“They are taking evaluations of players medically and psychologically that very few professionals in any other business would put up with.” DEMAURICE SMITH, the executive director of the NFL Players Association, on invasive tests teams conduct at the scouting combine.

According to Foster, players are quickly ushered to a hospital after their arrival in Indianapolis for a “pre-exam,” which includes lab work, X-rays, an electrocardiogram (EKG) and, for many players, MRIs. These tests are designed not simply to test their fitness for the NFL but to make sure they’re healthy enough to participate in the combine’s on-field workout.

By the time players tackle the on-field drills or meet with reporters for the first time, they have been through more than two days of medical exams, psychological tests and team interviews. The rest of the event — the part emphasized on TV — consists of drills and on-field workouts. Legal researchers point out that prospects have little choice but to submit to the elaborate medical obstacle course. “We can’t force them to do anything,” Foster said. “But if you’re not going to participate, there’s no reason to be here.” DeMaurice Smith, who leads the NFL Players Association, said prospects have little leverage and the NFLPA can’t advise them in the process because they aren’t union members until they’re drafted. As a whole, Smith doesn’t like the function of the combine. “I have a personal animus toward a system that reminds me of all sorts of bad things that used to happen in our country,” he said.

Baylor coach walks back comments about scandal

Walker-Kimbrough, Jones named all-Big Ten again

Kansas, which won a record 13th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title, is the new No. 1 in the AP poll. The Jayhawks (26-3) moved up two spots, receiving 58 of 65 first-place votes Monday from the national media panel. Kansas is the sixth school to be No. 1 this season. Kansas displaced Gonzaga (29-1), which fell to No. 4 after losing at home Saturday to BYU. Villanova (27-3) remained second despite losing to Butler last week, and UCLA (26-3) moved from fifth to third after its win over Arizona on Saturday. Virginia dropped from 18th to 23rd, and Maryland dropped out after being ranked 24th. (AP)

After Kim Mulkey won her 500th game as a head coach, she told fans: “If somebody’s around you and they ever say, ‘I will never send my daughter to Baylor,’ you knock them right in the face.” Speaking to espnW on Sunday, Mulkey apologized for “the very poor choice of words.” She said she wasn’t being literal, but was rather “trying to make a point, to be firm. ... I’m not a violent person.” Mulkey was defending a school facing allegations of widespread sexual assault by football players. “Even one sexual assault is too many,” she said Sunday. “Nobody is dismissing what happened here.”

Maryland seniors Shatori WalkerKimbrough and Brionna Jones were unanimously selected all-Big Ten first team, and 5-7 guard Destiny Slocum was named Big Ten freshman of the year in voting by coaches and writers, the conference said Monday. It’s the third such award for WalkerKimbrough and Jones, who both made the all-defensive team. Jones, a 6-foot-3 center, led Maryland in scoring (19.3) and rebounding (10.7) and leads all Division I players in field goal percentage (69 percent). Walker-Kimbrough, a 5-11 guard, averaged 18.5 points and is one of five players in school history to score 2,000 points. (TWP)

Durant planned to stay gone Warriors star explains why he never wanted to play for Washington

21.3

Fans spawned the “KD2DC” movement, but Kevin Durant always knew he wanted to explore beyond Washington.

dissipated. Six teams met with Durant in the first few days of July to pitch him on the prospects of joining them in free agency. The Wizards weren’t among them. When Durant plays at Verizon Center as a member of the Warriors tonight (7, CSN) with an enormous tattoo spelling “Maryland” still inked across his shoulders, it will evoke two of the forces that shaped his life: an abiding love for the place he grew up, and an ardent need to expand himself beyond it. “I really just didn’t want to play at home,” Durant said. “I did everything I was supposed to do in the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area, I felt. ...

It had nothing to do with basketball, the fans, the city.” Russell Springmann, then an assistant coach at Texas, first watched Durant as a sophomore at National Christian. When he first came to know Durant as a teenager, Springmann wondered if he could persuade Durant to travel to Austin for college. Even at a ge 17, D u ra nt viewed basketball as a vehicle to broaden his world. Going to Texas “opened my eyes to a new world,” Durant said. Before he went to college, Durant’s mother had never flown on a plane. The experience changed his perspective on the world, and his place in it. The Washington area remains

close for Durant. He is a die-hard Redskins fan. As a kid, he would visit his aunt’s house in Washington Heights, right behind FedEx Field. He could hear the crowd on fall Sundays. When James returned to Cleveland, it made Durant consider coming home, but only briefly. “I thought about it,” Durant said. “But it made LeBron’s situation different because he got drafted there. ... For me, I never played at home. I didn’t know what it would be. I know every time I go back it’s pretty hectic, and I just wanted to focus on basketball and not have to worry about a lot of stuff that comes with being at home.” TIM BONTEMPS AND ADAM KILGORE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WIZARDS’ FREE THROW ATTEMPTS

The number of free throws the Wizards attempt per game, which as of Monday morning ranked 26th out of the 30 NBA teams. After a 102-92 loss to the Jazz on Sunday, Wizards point guard John Wall said he thought officials were giving Washington late-game sympathy calls to correct an imbalance. Utah shot 32 free throws to Washington’s 13, and Wall picked up his 11th technical foul of the season for arguing a call. “Sometimes I think we put our attention too much on the refs and not getting calls,” shooting guard Bradley Beal said after the game.

The Raptors said Monday that All-Star guard Kyle Lowry will have surgery on his right wrist and hopes to return for the playoffs. According to the team, the procedure scheduled for today will be to remove loose bodies from his wrist. Lowry hasn’t played since returning from the All-Star break. He is second on the team with an average of 22.8 points and leads the Raptors with 6.9 assists per game. The Raptors entered a Monday night game at the Knicks riding a three-game win streak and sitting in fourth in the Eastern Conference. (AP)

NBA As a kid, Kevin Durant would hop on Metro and travel to new worlds. He started in Prince George’s County, where his family bounced from rental to rental, until moving became familiar. He would see abandoned houses, drug deals and people lingering outside the liquor store. His godfather would take him on the train to Virginia, to practice basketball on Crystal City courts. Everything was different. Peace and quiet. No sirens. Nice houses. Durant would think if he made it, he wanted want to live there, to show his family a better life. The trips, on a small scale, instilled in him a directive: To lift his family and honor his home, he would have to leave. “It felt like if I made it to Virginia, I made it in life,” he said. “I appreciate that about our area, you know? There’s so many different pockets, and such a huge culture and you see both sides. I used that as motivation as well to make it where I am today.” When LeBron James returned home to Cleveland in free agency during the summer of 2014, the decision partly inspired a “KD2DC” movement, and with it the fantasy of Durant making a similar move from Oklahoma City to Washington. But those thoughts quickly

If you’re attempting to lose weight as a couple, try prepping healthy meals together.

THINKSTOCK

HEALTH TIPS

Twice the motivation or trouble? A joint effort to lose weight doesn’t have to ruin a couple’s relationship DIETS What happens when a couple tries to lose weight together? It can be a recipe for success — or a total disaster. If a couple goes through the journey together, they can create healthier habits and strengthen their relationship. But losing weight is difficult, and if someone feels alone during the process, change may seem impossible. Supporting each other, having fun and being honest are keys to making it work.

Compare habits, not numbers Comparing body weight or pounds lost isn’t the best way to

go. If you want to compare, consider using behaviors to gauge how you’re doing. Notice what your partner is doing well and use that to learn how you can improve. For example: “My partner brought lunch to work every day this week, so I’ll try to do the same. We can pack our lunches at the same time.”

Make competition useful Competition can be an effective motivator, but a couple needs to remember they’re on the same team. If every event turns into a race, you may lose weight, but your relationship might suffer. Use competition to stay

accountable and focused. For example: “My partner woke up at 5 a.m. and got an early morning workout in. I’m going to make sure I get my evening workout.”

Splurge vs. sabotage Treats and sweets are key to success, but moderation is essential. It’s important to realize that your splurges may be different from your partner’s. One person may want a glass of wine while the other wants a doughnut. Everyone can enjoy a treat, but that doesn’t mean both partners must participate. If one side of the couple feels obliged to splurge out of guilt, that can lead to resentment.

Loving honesty vs. nagging Having a partner who is working for the food police can take the fun out of a romantic dinner. While a partner may be sincerely trying to help, too much scrutinizing may cause the other half of the relationship to sabotage everything. Consider a calm, honest conversation to express thoughts and concerns.

Embrace diversity One diet does not fit all. While a couple can be in this experience together, it doesn’t mean both have to follow the same plan.

REI hosts free run club at 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays at its community space at Wunder Garten

Quick tips Strategize together. Discuss routines, schedules and ideas so both partners are on the same page. Be nice to each other. A simple “Looking good!” or “Nice work!” goes a long way. Prepare quick and easy recipes. Cook foods enjoyed by all, make simple recipes and add flavor and condiments individually to suit specific needs. Have each other’s back, because there will be plenty of difficult moments.

What you eat, how you exercise, your schedule and your goals can all be different. Do what feels right to you even if your partner doesn’t want to participate.

Have fun There are ways to make this process enjoyable. Take a silly dance class together or go for a walk or hike. Start a cooking night with friends to create a social aspect to changing eating plans. There are going to be moments of frustration, anger and struggle. Taking a moment to find some humor will help with the bumps in the road. JAE BERMAN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine, so load up on berries, citrus fruits, broccoli, leafy greens and chilies. Avoid inflammatory foods such as dairy, wheat, refined carbohydrates and sugars, and increase intake of antiinflammatory omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish, flax seeds and walnuts. Probiotics can boost immune function and kill allergens and bacteria in the gut. Remove shoes when in the house, and shower immediately after being outside to wash away pollen. Buy a HEPA-filter air cleaner and make sure your vacuum has a HEPA filter. Seal cracks in your house and change air conditioner and heater filters frequently. Skip synthetic cleaners when dusting, as they can be irritants, and use a wet mop and a microfiber cloth that dust particles will cling to.

Retire? Not with my wife around.

Q. I’m 64, but I dread retirement because I’d be trapped at home with my wife. All she wants to do now is eat, sleep and take care of the grandkids. She’s traumatized if she’s away from the house for more than a few days. I’ve tried counseling and joint sessions, but she bails just when progress is being made. I get depressed imagining living with her lifestyle choices. WON’T HAVE GOLDEN YEARS Anxiety or depression may have your wife in its grip. How gradual was this change? It is a good sign that she tried therapy, but she clearly got scared and was not yet motivated to overcome it. But dreading your retirement years is no way to live; it’s time to get real. The very foundation of your marriage is falling apart. Is she willing to work with you to save

it? Can she commit to a certain amount of counseling sessions — joint or individual — without bailing, or to a small list of changes that you can agree upon? Can she generate ideas of how you could help her break out of this rut? Give her time and some more chances but let her know that, ultimately, her efforts will determine her fate — and that of the marriage.

“confided” in me that I come across as very judgmental and harsh in conversations with people. This floored me. She said she was doing it as a favor to me, that she couldn’t not say something anymore. I asked her for examples and she was not good about coming up with any. I feel like she just threw a grenade into our friendship, and I am angry but then I feel like I am just playing into what her complaint was about me. UPSET BY THIS DISCLOSURE

Ah, the ol’ “I’ll be helpful in a harmful way” confrontation. Fun! You were right to ask for specifics; perhaps she was illprepared, so give her another chance. Tell her that you’ve been thinking about what she said and the feedback is important to you. You want to be better, but you need something to work with. What, exactly, should you be doing differently? If she continues to stonewall, look for a larger pattern: Is she herself a troublemaker who creates drama? Have you ever gotten this feedback from others? Most helpful of all: Do you have a mutual friend who can give you a reality check? Send questions to Dr. Andrea Bonior at baggage@wpost .com.

Confusing — but hopeful ‘Moonlight’s’ wild win sends a bright message for Hollywood’s future

KEVIN WINTER (GETTY IMAGES)

“Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins, center, reacts when those on stage reveal his film won best picture instead of “La La Land,” the film wrongly announced.

writer-director Damien Chazelle won for best directing. Although “La La Land” was nominated for a record-tying 14 awards, it didn’t run the table, taking home a respectable six Oscars, including the best actress award for Emma Stone. For its part, “Moonlight” also won for best adapted screenplay and for best supporting actor, for Mahershala Ali. What ended up emerging from this year’s Oscars was an image of an industry that, despite a history of racism and liberal

hypocrisy, has made some progress in inclusion. It helped that Viola Davis finally received an award, for her supporting performance in “Fences,” as did Ezra Edelman, for his sprawling documentary “O.J.: Made in America.” Rather than rail against today’s politics and an administration that many attendees clearly abhor (blue ACLU ribbons were visible throughout the audience), the mood was one of determination rather than self-congratulation.

For all its weirdness, the final win for “Moonlight” sent a particularly encouraging message: that, rather than self-righteous speeches or empty gestures, Hollywood is bracing itself to respond as a creative community to the current political realities, not with escapism or reflexive petulance, but in ways that are expansive and forwardlooking. We’ll know whether they succeed at the Oscars two or three years down the road. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Showtime has ordered a second season of “The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth,” a docuseries that initially covered the 2016 presidential election, to chronicle President Trump’s first 100 days in office, according to Variety. Hosts Mark Halperin and John Heilemann will return, with guest appearances by Mark McKinnon. The new season premieres March 19. (EXPRESS) AWARDS

After “La La Land” was mistakenly announced as the best picture winner at Sunday’s Academy Awards, the film’s producer, Jordan Horowitz, left, revealed to the audience the card that listed the true winner, “Moonlight.”

CHRIS PIZZELLO (INVISION/AP)

ACADEMY AWARDS Just when it seemed Sunday’s 89th Academy Awards couldn’t get more ho-hum, a bizarre turn of events transpired in the ceremony’s final moments that injected a jolt of adrenaline into the proceedings, when the best picture winner was announced twice: first “La La Land,” and then the real victor, “Moonlight.” The mix-up ended an otherwise cheerful, notably uncontroversial night on a chaotic note, as a little indie-that-could came from behind to block the presumed front-runner in perhaps the most unintentionally exciting Oscars finale in recent history. The upset took on symbolic meaning as well. Over the course of this awards season, the competition between “La La Land,” a candy-colored musical about two young strivers trying to make it in show business in modern-day Los Angeles, and “Moonlight,” about a young, gay AfricanAmerican man coming of age in a rough Miami neighborhood, became something of a proxy for the politics that have infused the academy in recent years. Would the academy — which had come under criticism for excluding films by and about people of color — give its highest honor to a film that many observers criticized for “whitesplaining” jazz and marginalizing its few black characters? Or would “Moonlight” win in a year when a record 18 people of color were nominated for awards, and when “Fences” and “Hidden Figures,” both about African-American protagonists, were also nominated for best picture? The outcome turned out to be Solomonic: “Moonlight” took best picture, while “La La Land”

Viewership of Sunday’s 89th Academy Awards was 4 percent lower than that of last year’s awards, according to Nielsen data released Monday. The ceremony — which aired at 8:30 p.m. EST and went on for three hours and 49 minutes, the longest Oscars in 10 years — tallied an average of 32.9 million viewers. The show pulled the most eyes in the 9 p.m. hour. Last year’s awards had about 34.4 million viewers. (EXPRESS) MUSIC

blog log “If only. #Oscars.” @ALEXANDERGOLD is one of the many social media users who took the Oscars’ instantly infamous mix-up over best picture and turned it into a meme. The reversal, when “La La Land” was given the Oscar, only for it to be revealed moments later that “Moonlight” had actually won, was the ending many had dreamed of — specifically for the 2016 presidential vote. “Amazing ending. Wish that had happened on Election Day,” @BillyCrystal tweeted. People used the meme to rewrite Adele winning the Grammy for best album over Beyonce, and the Patriots winning the Super Bowl over the Falcons. Others applauded the handoff: “What makes America great is the peaceful transfer of mixed-up awards,” @tedlieu tweeted.

“The problem is not the display of skin, it’s the objectification. The nude model as part of Fuji’s product.” U.K. photographer Danny North, @dannynorthphoto, who tweeted that Fujifilm in the U.K. brought in a topless model for photographers to shoot in a testing session for its new GFX 50S camera model. North said he was disappointed and left the session. Fujifilm U.K. tweeted an apology for the offense.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ve been advised to speak your mind, but you must remember that not everyone is ready to hear what you have to say. ARIES (March 21-April 19) The decisions you make can benefit others directly or indirectly. How you follow through will make all the difference. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may have to respond quickly to a rare kind of emergency. Do what you can to keep your emotions out of the equation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) What you must do can only be done today, and you’re not likely to get another chance. Make sure everyone around you understands this. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll have the chance to revisit something from your past that made a big difference at the time; it can have a huge impact yet again.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are willing to do more than planned, but not everyone around you will want to do the same. You need to work toward a consensus. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone may recommend something you know to be dangerous, but you recognize that it is likely to prove necessary.

Temperatures rise into the 60s and could flirt with 70 if breaks in the cloud cover emerge. Southerly winds draw up unseasonably mild air and temperatures fall a little overnight.
