‘Most expensive bar crawl’ THE DISTRICT Teresa Dowell-Vest’s bus, or at least the bus she hoped would be her bus, was so jammed Monday the driver wouldn’t even open the door. So she walked a few blocks to a streetcar stop on H Street. “I was fully expecting the streetcar to be packed. It’s going to be like San Francisco, with people hanging off the back bumper to get to us,” DowellVest said. What the communications professor got instead was an airy, almost empty streetcar that showed up within three minutes — and a sweet commute. Charles Mattison’s calculations were more cutthroat. “This is free. It’s the only reason I’m riding it,” said Mattison, 20, who typically walks to his job at Union Station to save cash. “I kind of find it pointless, because of all the money that went into this.” Still, as the train pulled up at 9:50 a.m. Monday, he didn’t argue with the results: “It got me to work on time.”

Some see the value of D.C.’s new streetcars, others not so much
A group of partygoers takes a ride Saturday on one of D.C.’s new streetcars.
After a decade of delays, and a flood of happy first-timers riding just to ride during the system’s inauguration Saturday, D.C.’s long-awaited streetcar system is now being tested by several key constituencies. Among them: commuters, errand-runners and nightlifers out for food and libation along a resurgent H Street. How the costly new experiment in throwback transit will turn out remains unclear, even as District officials are pledging to expand the system. But the

theory of streetcars is finally ally the reality of streetcars, and it’s being scrutinized by taxpaypayers who have already provided ded more than $200 million for the 2-mile line. “The most expensive bar crawl awl on the continent, I’d call it,” said aid Damon Wells, a turkey-industry try lobbyist who lives along H Street and rode with a group of drinking buddies Saturday night. D.C. officials said they plan to charge, but not for at least six months, because they don’t have a collection system ready and they want to spur ridership. “I’m not impressed. I rode them when they were old,” said Karen Caldwell, 70. In the decades before the city’s first streetcar era ended in 1962, they carried her nearly everywhere she needed to go. Despite her bad knees, Caldwell said she can move faster than the streetcar along some stretches of the line. Other riders, too, said they wanted a faster clip, although with the sparse ridership, the streetcars tended to make much better time Monday than during their first outings Saturday. The streetcars were making the 2-mile trip in less than 20 minutes Monday morning. MICHAEL LARIS

THE DISTRICT D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and two other key parties involved in the beleaguered merger of Pepco and Chicago-based Exelon said Tuesday that they can no longer support the plan, all but dooming a deal that would have created the nation’s largest electric utility. Bowser’s team had negotiated for the utility companies
WARM WINTER

The average temperature in D.C. from December through February — what’s known as the meteorological winter — making it the eighth-warmest on record, tied with 1991. Three of Washington’s 10 warmest winters on record have come since 2000. December was especially warm. The month’s average temperature was 51.2 degrees, 11.5 degrees warmer than normal in D.C., and 5.5 degrees warmer than the previous warmest December. Records in D.C. go back to 1871. (TWP)
to pay the District $78 million in exchange for D.C.’s support for the $6.8 billion merger, which already had approval from New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and federal regulators. The mayor’s plan would have cushioned rate increases for D.C. residents for four years, but it was rejected last week by District regulators who said it was “not in the public interest” and would exacerbate an existing imbalance in which federal taxpayers and businesses subsidize residential rates in D.C.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser withdrew her support for a $6.8 billion merger of two utility companies.
The D.C. Public Service Commission said it would reconsider the deal under new terms, which removed any guarantee to hold down residential rates. Support for that arrangement quickly fractured. First, the District’s attorney general said the new terms jeopardized benefits for D.C. ratepayers. Then, Sandra MattavousFrye, the District’s chief advocate for ratepayers, joined in, saying the path forward “eviscerates” assistance to D.C. residents. In a statement Tuesday,

Bowser said she could not agree to the new terms set by the commission. “From the start, we focused on affordability, reliability and sustainability. We pulled everyone together to negotiate an agreement that was a great deal for D.C. residents,” Bowser said. “The PSC’s counterproposal guts much needed protections against rate increases for D.C. residents and assistance for lowincome D.C. rate payers. That is not a deal that I can support.”

MARYLAND The president of a small Maryland college who likened struggling freshmen to bunnies that should be drowned resigned Monday, nearly six weeks after the student newspaper published the comment and ignited a national firestorm of criticism. Simon Newman, a former financial industry executive, was in his first year as president of Mount St. Mary’s University, the nation’s second-oldest Catholic university, about 60 miles northwest of Baltimore. The school of 2,300 was previously known mainly for its four NCAA men’s basketball tournament appearances.

named acting president. “The board is grateful to President Newman for his many accomplishments over the past year, including strengthening the university’s finances, developing a comprehensive strategic plan for our future and bringing many new ideas to campus that have benefited the entire Mount community,” Coyne said. Former faculty member John Schwenkler, who helped organize opposition to Newman among college faculty nationwide, said he was celebrating the news. “I think that the collective tive efforts of a lot of concerned ned academics are a big part of this, and I feel privileged to have been part of that,” said Schwenkler, r, an assistant professor of philosoosophy at Florida State University. sity.

The shooting occurred shortly before city officials were set to discuss equipping police officers in Raleigh with body cameras. Police have so far offered few immediate details.

nation+world TECHNOLOGY The U.S. government calls it a “vicious guard dog” that hurts national security. Apple says it’s critical to protecting consumer privacy against increasingly sophisticated hackers. As the debate over built-in iPhone encryption has deadlocked in the courts, law enforcement and the world’s secondlargest cellphone maker agreed on one point Tuesday: It’s now up to Congress to set boundaries in a long-simmering fight over who can legally access your digital life.
“There’s already a door on that iPhone. We’re asking Apple to take the vicious guard dog away and let us pick the lock,” FBI Director James Comey told a House judiciary panel on encryption Tuesday. “The FBI is asking Apple to weaken the security of our products,” Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell countered later that afternoon. The hearing provided a public forum for the Obama administration and Apple Inc. to stake out competing positions that could have sweeping ramifications.

FBI Director James Comey testifies before the House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.
The strong positions articulated Tuesday make clear the deep divide between Silicon Valley and the government. “Is it the right thing to make our society overall less safe in order to solve crime?” Sewell asked. On Monday, a federal judge in Brooklyn said the Obama administration couldn’t force Apple to help it gain access to an iPhone in a drug case. With that ruling, Congress needs to get involved to address the collision between private safety and public safety, according to both the FBI and Apple. ERIC TUCKER AND TAMI ABDOLLAH (AP)

His year with the stars Astronaut Scott Kelly’s mission is a giant leap toward understanding our interstellar abilities
WASHINGTONPOST.COM NATIONAL SECURITY
Documents shed new light on bin Laden
NASA VIA AP
NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly closed the door Tuesday on an unprecedented year in space for NASA, wrapping up a 340-day mission on the International Space Station. It’s not the longest jaunt in space — back in the days when Russia had its own space station, several cosmonauts pulled longer stretches and one even lasted 437 days. But it’s the longest stint ever taken on the ISS, and it’s the first time scientists have focused on the physical effects of such longterm spaceflight. The hope is that studying Kelly — and his identical twin, Mark Kelly, a retired astronaut who spent the year on Earth — will help us figure out what challenges astronauts might face setting out on even longer trips, as they probably will when journeying to Mars and beyond. Doctors will check to see how microgravity, increased radiation and other uniquely spacey problems may have affected Scott Kelly’s health over the course of the year. His brother won’t be a perfect match — it’s not as though NASA scientists can point to any differences between them as being related to spaceflight — but the existence of a “control” twin will make for some interesting data. “Obviously, this is a tiny sample size, so we’re not really looking at how Scott and Mark are different during the year, exactly,” Johns Hopkins Medical School’s Andrew Feinberg said just before Kelly’s launch last year. “It’s not statistically valid to say that differences between them must be due to the spaceflight.” But, added Feinberg — whose project for the mission focused
Declassified documents released Tuesday by U.S. intelligence officials that were recovered from the compound in Pakistan where American forces killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 shed further light on his hopes and fears for his al-Qaeda terror network, which has since morphed into the Islamic State.
Astronaut Scott Kelly has become a social media hit, tweeting from space Tuesday , “Follow me as I rediscover #Earth!”
Instructions in his will on epigenetics, or the way different environments affect the expression of our genes — “if something happens after Scott departs, increases during his trip, and then goes back to normal after he comes back to Earth — if we don’t see that kind of sequential change in his twin, well, it’s not proof of anything, but it certainly suggests something interesting is going on.” In addition to the reams of personal scientific data he’ll provide, Kelly had a pretty successful year in space: He made wilting flowers bloom, paving the way for future astronaut farmers to grow their own food on long-haul missions. He became a social media maven, sharing gorgeous photos of his time in space on Twitter and Instagram. He got a phone call (and a tweet) from the president. He had a hilarious appearance on “The Colbert Report.” He dressed up in a gorilla suit and chased people around the space station.
‘We did it!’ Astronaut Scott Kelly noted Monday that he and his partner, Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, “have been up here for a really, really long time” and have been jokingly telling one another, “We did it!” They were due to land in Kazakhstan at 11:27 p.m. Tuesday (10:27 a.m. Wednesday in local time), having traveled 144 million miles through space, circled the world 5,440 times and experienced 10,880 orbital sunrises and sunsets.

Those last few accomplishments might not seem very prestigious. But Kelly is part of a new generation of space station residents: men and women who share their thrilling adventures in orbit with the entire planet beneath them. It’s something that Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield raised to an art form when he commanded the station
Russian TV channels withheld news of nanny accused of killing girl and waving around her severed head
in 2013, but now it’s par for the course for an astronaut to become a social media rock star. NASA astronauts work 12-hour days and aren’t forced to make social media a priority, but their photos, videos and updates have become part of the space agency’s push to make spaceflight seem more important to the general public. And it’s working: When the latest round of astronaut training signups closed in February, NASA had received more than 18,300 applications fort 14 spots. From a layperson’s standpoint, coming back to Earth is arguably the scariest part of space travel. International Space Station veteran Doug Wheelock told ABC News that a Soyuz landing is like “going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, but the barrel is on fire.” Maybe that rough-and-tumble ride is what had Kelly thinking about staying up in orbit for even longer.

Criticism of bank bailout In a letter around 2009, bin Laden said the U.S. bailout of financial institutions rescued “the vultures by using the assets of the victims.” And he said the U.S. invaded Iraq to get oil (“black gold”) under pressure from American capitalists.
A sense of restraint? Bin Laden orchestrated an untold number of deaths but didn’t want his cause to lose support because of needless brutality. Foreshadowing recent Islamic State tactics, he warned against “publishing pictures of prisoners after they were beheaded.”

Probe: Bishops hid abuse of kids 50-plus priests sexually abused hundreds of children, report finds
ALTOONA, PA. Two Catholic bishops who led a small Pennsylvania diocese helped cover up the sexual abuse of hundreds of children by more than 50 priests and other religious leaders over a 40-year period, according to a grand jury report that portrays the church as holding such sway over law enforcement that it helped select a police chief. The 147-page report issued Tuesday on sexual abuse in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese, home to nearly 100,000 Roman Catholics, was based partly on evidence from a secret diocesan archive opened through a search warrant over the summer. In announcing the findings, Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said the diocese’s two previous bishops “placed their desire to avoid public scandal over the well-being of children.” No criminal charges are being filed in the case because some abusers have died, the statute of limitations has expired, or victims are too traumatized to testify, she said. The report was especially

critical of Bishops James Hogan and Joseph Adamec. Hogan, who headed the diocese from 1966 to 1986, died in 2005. Adamec, who succeeded him, retired in 2011. The current bishop, Mark Bartchak, is not accused of any wrongdoing. He recently suspended a few priests named as alleged abusers in the report, though the grand jury said it remains “concerned the purge of predators is taking too long.” The clergy sex abuse crisis erupted in 2002, when The Boston Globe reported that the Boston Archdiocese had transferred child-molesting priests from parish to parish to protect them.

S.D. governor vetoes law on trans restrooms POLITICS South Dakota’s governor vetoed a bill Tuesday that would have made the state the first in the U.S. to approve a law requiring transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their sex at birth. Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard, above, rejected the bill after the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign and transgender students and adults called the legislation discriminatory. In his veto message, Daugaard wrote that the bill “does not address any pressing issue” and that such decisions were best left to local school officials. The Republican-controlled Legislature approved the proposal last month, with supporters saying it was meant to protect student privacy. Transgender rights are a new flashpoint in national culture fights following the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage last year. It encouraged advocates for LGBT rights to push harder, prompting backlash from conservatives. Daugaard vetoed the measure a week after hearing the personal stories of three opponents of the bill who are transgender in what was his first knowing interaction with transgender people. The governor initially offered a positive reaction to the proposal, but said he needed to do research and listen to testimony before making a final decision. JAMES NORD (AP)

With these camps, kids think outside It can be easy for children in the D.C. area to live their lives mostly indoors, shuttling from one commitment to another: home to school to piano lessons and home again. Summertime is a chance to break out of that pattern, thanks to an ever-expanding number of environmental education camps that immerse children in the natural world. One such new-to-the-scene camp is run by NatureBridge, which has been working for decades to connect young people with national parks on the West Coast. NatureBridge began operating on the East Coast in 2012, running multiday environmental
education lessons during the school year for fifth- to eighthgrade students at Virginia’s Prince William Forest Park. Now, NatureBridge is expanding, offering a summer field research camp for older teens at Shenandoah National Park. Campers will design and execute their own research projects while exploring the park’s trails, said Jim Serfass of NatureBridge. They’ll sleep in relative comfort at one of the park’s lodges during the five-day camp — though anyone who wants an extended adventure can sign up for an additional four-day backpacking trip. Kids who choose to backpack
will learn how to carry everything they need to live, how to set up a backcountry camp and how to be safe in the wilderness. “Like all NatureBridge programs, this isn’t just about a one-time experience that we’re providing,” Serfass said. “It’s also a way to foster an interest and a level of knowledge that those participants can then use later on in life, and hopefully continue to enjoy nature and enjoy national parks.” The organization is offering four separate sessions, two in late June and two in early August. The cost is $780 for the five-day field research course and an

session, and the participants were a diverse group: It included students from rural communities and from the District, and one student from China who was in the United States for the first time to visit family. What they shared was interest
in science and the outdoors. They each came up with research questions that they worked to answer through observation and data collection during the course of the week. Their questions ranged from why spiders build their webs where they do to how wind speed varies from place to place. “What they’re doing in terms of connecting students to national parks is really important, because the national parks are part of our natural heritage, but they’re also part of our cultural heritage,” said Sarah Bodor, of the North American Association for Environmental Education. “There are too many kids who live near a national park but don’t have access to it.” Bodor said that summer camps that focus on outdoor education offer chances to connect to nature, and to play in an unstructured way — experiences that are critical for CONTINUED ON PAGE S4

children’s development and have become all too rare in an age when young people’s lives are increasingly dominated by screens. “What are the risks associated with an entire generation that doesn’t have a personal sense of connection to the natural resources around them?” Bodor said. Some local public school systems offer outdoor education: Arlington County’s Outdoor Lab offers weeklong summer sessions, for example, for Arlington students who are going into the fifth through ninth grades. Maryland’s Audubon Naturalist Society has weeklong programs for students ranging from pre-kindergartners to ninth-graders, focusing on everything from insects and snakes to animal tracking and edible plants. Most are day camps, but some programs offer overnight experiences for older children. Older teens can take a threeweek naturalist training course. The Audubon camps are located at Camp Woodend, 40 acres in Chevy Chase that border Rock Creek Park. Local parks agencies are also worth exploring for summer opportunities. Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, for example, which is run by Anne Arundel County’s parks department, has summer camps for upper-elementary and middleschool students that offer a chance to explore the Patuxent River and the creatures that depend on it. Older teens can sign up for a five-day canoeing expedition, including three nights of camping. Exploring the outdoors isn’t just for kids. Teens who know they love being immersed in the outdoors might explore longerterm and further-afield national programs like Outward Bound, which runs multiday wilderness expeditions around the country, and the Student Conservation Association, which runs volunteer crews that build hiking trails, restore natural habitats and do other work on the nation’s public lands.

Calling all the future wonks There was a time when summer camps for girls focused on sports, arts and crafts, and roasting marshmallows. While those options still abound, for aspiring politicians who dream of stumping on the campaign trail, taking a Cabinet position, working for the United Nations or becoming president, there are now camps to give girls a taste of politics and public service. Instead of lanyards and friendship bracelets, they’re making campaign pledges. Instead of writing home, they’re calling relatives to raise money
for mock campaigns — within Federal Election Commission guidelines, of course. Washington, D.C., has numerous summer opportunities for those who want to jump-start their political careers before they are even able to vote. Some — like camps run by the Girls in Politics Initiative — are targeted for girls. Others are for any child or teen interested in politics or public service. Kimberly Mitchem-Rasmussen, a political consultant who has worked on initiatives to recruit more women to run for public office, founded the Girls in Politics Initiative when she was searching for camps for her own daughter. None seemed to quite fit for Ryen, now a politics-obsessed

MitchemRasmussen saw other parents putting their young children in music lessons and in all-day sports camps, hoping to create the next virtuoso or first-round draft pick. But she could not find options for girls aspiring to break the glass ceiling in politics. “Why can’t we put that sort of intensity in creating little girl leaders?” she said. The Girls in Politics Initiative now runs camps across the country, teaching girls how Congress, the United Nations and parlimentary systems of government work. Participants fill out Federal Election Commission forms, learn about campaign finance limits and work to fund their make-believe runs for office. “We don’t dumb it down. The girls actually write campaign speeches,” Mitchem-Rasmussen said. “They actually make mock fundraising calls to relatives.

When they call Grandma, even if she wants to give them $30,000, they know she can only give $2,600 for the primaries.” Girls also stage mock sessions of Congress and the United Nations. It’s all intended to close what she sees as the gap in preparedness between men and women looking to enter politics. “Men have such a head start … because political leadership was something that was always open
to them,” she said. Mitchem-Rasmussen said the camp has given her daughter — who watches C-SPAN and already talks like a seasoned politician — a place to connect with other children who share her interests. Tyler Gibbs, who at 16 had already testified before the Massachusetts State Senate and launched an unsuccessful bid to make ‘6’ the official state number, said he knew few teens growing up who shared his intense interest in politics and public service. But he found several like-minded peers at the National Student Leadership Conference’s political action and public policy camp. Gibbs, now 21, has returned to the camp as a team leader.

system — from running for office to passing legislation in Congress. They hear from elected officials, Cabinet members and leaders of advocacy groups. They run their own mock campaigns, complete with a nominating process. The program is “really giving students an insight into the governmental process,” said David Lowitz, director of operations for the Chicago office of the National Student Leadership Conference. For Gibbs, his week at the camp shaped his interest in education policy and inspired his decision to attend American University — where the camp is held. He now hopes to run for public office in his hometown of Rutland, Mass. “I also learned that government and politics was something I wanted to pursue,” Gibbs said. “It was kind of one of those reaffirming moments.” For younger students, the Smithsonian Associates offers a camp that combines puppetry, theater and politics and perhaps an extended metaphor for the American political system. In “Muppets for President,” schoolchildren in grades four through six turn their favorite Muppets into presidential candidates and learn about puppetry and performance. They cap the week with a Muppets presidential debate. “The fuzzy favorites are making a run for the presidency, and campers hit the campaign trail along with them as they develop their very own version of ‘The Muppet Show,’ ” reads a description of the camp, proof that anyone can achieve their political aspirations if they have the right team.

Wizards get on track
Redskins use franchise tag on Cousins REDSKINS Despite hoping for agreement on a long-term contract, the Redskins and quarterback Kirk Cousins failed to reach a deal, and in turn, the team used the franchise tag before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline to ensure that it doesn’t lose him without compensation on the free agent market. Washington will use the nonexclusive franchise tag, meaning the team for now has committed to pay Cousins $19.953 million for 2016. Other teams can talk to Cousins’ agent about signing him. If they extend him an offer that Washington chooses not to match, the Redskins would then receive two first-round draft picks from that team as compensation. Teams usually shy away from pursuing other team’s franchise players because of the lofty price. The move hardly comes as a

Move allows two sides to keep working toward a long-term contract
surprise. Despite ongoing talks between the two sides, and Cousins’ desire to remain with Washington, he felt no pressure to sign a long-term deal. The Redskins hoped to work out a long-term deal that would have given them more immediate flexibility against the salary cap, with free agency set to begin March 9. But the sides remained apart on their offering and asking prices. “They really didn’t have a choice,” former Redskins and Texans general manager Charley Casserly said. “From the Redskins’ point of view, what’s your option? You don’t have any other quarterback, and there’s no guarantee you’re going to get one. … And for the player, there’s really no motivation to sign until you see what’s out there for yourself.” Barring an unexpected pursuit from a team willing to part with two first-round picks, Cousins eventually must decide whether he wants to sign a long-term deal with Washington, or if he wants
The Wizards are 6-2 since the All-Star break and entered Tuesday just 1 ½ games out of a playoff spot. Here are the biggest reasons for their recent surge.
A friendly schedule Two of the Wizards’ past three wins were against the 76ers. In February, they had just one victory over a team in playoff position (as of Tuesday) and that was over a LeBron-less Cavaliers squad.
The Redskins have until July 15 to negotiate with Kirk Cousins on a longer contract or he’ll make $19.953 million in 2016 under the franchise tag.
Who else got tagged? Teams had until 4 p.m. Tuesday to use franchise or transition tags. Jets: DE Muhammad Wilkerson, $15.7M Bears: WR Alshon Jeffery, $14.6M Broncos: LB Von Miller, $14.1M Panthers: CB Josh Norman, $14M Rams: CB Trumaine Johnson, $14M Bills: OT Cordy Glenn, $13.7M Dolphins: DE Olivier Vernon, $12.7M Chiefs: SS Eric Berry, $10.8M Ravens: Kicker Justin Tucker, $4.6M
to play on the one-year franchise player tender. His agent can negotiate with Washington toward a multi-year deal until July 15. As Casserly explained, barring an injury, there are minimal drawbacks for Cousins if he chooses not to sign a long-term deal. “His position will be, ‘I make $20 million for one year, I don’t play well and I make $5 million next year as a backup. That’s the down side,” Casserly said of Cousins, who last season played on a $660,000 base salary. “My upside is, ‘I play well and they’ve got to pay me $24 million next year on another one-year contract.’ So, he just has to decide.” MIKE JONES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

LAWSUIT
JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)
ESPN’s odd demand of Erin Andrews
Sean Burnett, working out in Viera, Fla., was a key piece of the Nationals’ bullpen for four seasons (2009-12).
Back with Nats, pitcher is seeking a comeback Burnett underwent his 2nd Tommy John surgery in June 2014 NATIONALS Even after left-handed reliever Sean Burnett left the Nationals in 2012, his connections to them remained strong. The Palm Beach County resident visited his old teammates when they played at Marlins Park, and he told Nationals GM Mike Rizzo that he would call when he was ready to come back from his latest elbow injury. So this offseason, when Burnett was recovered from his second Tommy John surgery, in June 2014, he and Rizzo agreed to a minor league deal.
“It was an easy decision,” Burnett said. “It’s a place I enjoyed.” Burnett, whose specialty is the sinker, was a key piece of the bullpen for years after being acquired in 2009. He posted a 2.81 ERA in four years as a National and neutralized lefthanded hitters well. Among his most memorable moments was notching a key out in Game 5 of the 2012 NLDS despite bone spurs in his elbow. “I was pitching on the adrenaline of the playoff push,” he said. That offseason, the Angels signed Burnett to a two-year, $8 million deal. He appeared in just 13 games for the Angels and struggled with velocity, which was never his forte. He needed surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon and
missed the rest of the season. Even then, Burnett said doctors warned that the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow — first replaced in 2004 — wasn’t in good shape. Burnett’s elbow lasted three games for the Angels when he returned in 2014. Now he is trying to be the rare pitcher who has come back from Tommy John surgery twice. “As long as you stick with the rehab process and have a good doc, you have a chance,” he said. Because he never relied on velocity, using location and movement to thrive, he might be wellsuited to deal with after-effects of multiple surgeries. So far, he said, he feels he is “as good as I’ve been.” JAMES WAGNER
Fox sportscaster Erin Andrews was working for ESPN in 2009 when a stalker secretly videotaped her nude in her hotel room in Nashville. She since has sued the stalker and hotel. She testified Monday that ESPN — worried, as she put it, that the incident would be seen as a publicity stunt — wouldn’t let her return to the air unless she did a TV interview explaining what happened. She did so (with Oprah Winfrey) but said that experience added to her trauma. “I was freaking out,” she said of discussing the incident on TV. ESPN declined to comment. (EXPRESS)
Four potential good places for Griffin to land Robert Griffin III hasn’t been a top-notch quarterback since his rookie season in 2012, but he might be able to revive his career with a new team when he leaves the Redskins in the next week. Here are four possible good fits. JEFF DOOLEY
1
Houston Texans
2
San Francisco 49ers
3
Denver Broncos
Griffin has shown skill at play-action fakes, a big part of the offense under coach Bill O’Brien. An elite receiver like DeAndre Hopkins and a great defense could help RGIII thrive as a Brian Hoyer replacement.
If the 49ers move on from Colin Kaepernick, Griffin would be worth a shot. Coach Chip Kelly could exploit Griffin’s speed and help him rediscover his accuracy.
Assuming Peyton Manning leaves and Brock Osweiler returns, Griffin could push the lightly tested younger player and — who knows? — perhaps even win the job.

“Just like li the president, he makes the ultimate call at the end, but you have a Cabinet for a reason.” DUSTY BAKER, BAK Nationals manager, explaining that he’ll rely on pitching coach Mike Maddux to decide
when to us use the bullpen this season. Baker has been criticized in the past for overworking pitchers.

Quarterback Nick Foles was so inaccurate last season (second to last in the NFL) and running back Todd Gurley was so dynamic as a rookie that Griffin could enjoy going Hollywood.

TIM CHAM CHAMBERS A BERS
swapfoods.com
A change of tart Black Pearl’s Christina Marie Chambers is on a mission to redefine the pastry
TRENDS Quick: Name the city’s top three tart shops. Let us save you the trouble — there aren’t any. But Christina Marie Chambers is out to change that. “You usually see one or two tarts in a bakery that serves many other things, but many people haven’t heard of a bakery that only sells tarts,” Chambers says. Through her just-launched company, Black Pearl Tarts, Chambers aims to raise the profile of the oft-overlooked treat and — in the process — usurp the No. 1 dessert trend that everyone loves to hate. “Please die, cupcakes. It’s time for tarts to rule,” says Chambers, who left her administrative job last year and founded Black Pearl Tarts in January after a trip around the world with her
husband. Though Chambers lacks any formal pastry training, she received hands-on training during a stint at Craftsman and Wolves, a critically acclaimed patisserie in San Francisco. There, through a lot of trial and error, Chambers perfected her method for preparing a tart shell, she says. “I became obsessed with making them. I couldn’t stop myself,” she says of the versatile crust, which can be filled with savory or sweet ingredients and augmented with sugar and spices. “I learned to make anything I was craving into a tart.” Wait a minute — isn’t a tart basically the same thing as a pie? And haven’t we already exhausted that trend? Chambers is quick to disagree. To start, the crusts are a different consistency, she says.

Where to find them For now, Black Pearl Tarts are available only by special order through the “contact” page on blackpearltarts.com. The tarts are $7 each and there is a minimum order of nine. Owner Christina Marie Chambers is applying to be a vendor at area farmers markets and is working with restaurants to arrange pop-ups. H.S.
Whereas pie crusts are made with cold butter and are somewhat fluffy, tart shells are made with room-temperature butter and have a more cookie-like consistency. Also, tarts are free-standing and are not served in a pan. Not to mention that we’ve never seen any pie quite as gourmet as Chambers’ tarts. T he m i n i -m a ster pie c es

Chambers prepares them in such elevated flavors as dried fruit and red wine compote with goat cheese, poached pears and winter spices; smoked salmon with cream cheese, sour cream, carrots, celery, fennel and radish; and mascarpone blended with clove and topped with grapefruit and candied peel. She even makes the peanut butter from scratch (with a touch of mascarpone, of course) for her PB and chocolate ganache tart. The tarts have caught the eye of people looking for something notable at their special events, especially weddings. “I’m trying to change the way people think about what you can do with a tart,” Chambers says.
Yup, you read that bag of Swapples correctly. The new D.C.-based company produces frozen, vegetable-based waffles in such unusual flavors as everything bagel, sun-dried tomato, sweet potato curry and spicy spinach. The gluten-free, vegetarian and Paleo eats come from Rebecca Peress, who founded the company in January in response to personal health issues. Made with blended yucca root, spices and coconut oil, Swapples are available locally at Union Kitchen Grocery ($8.99 a bag), and online sales might launch as soon as April. Pop them in the toaster and eat them straight up, or take a cue from the “Waffle Inspo” page on the Swapples website for recipes like the watercress pesto waffle, smoky sweet pulled pork waffle and grilled cheese.

Neal Brennan is best known for co-creating “Chappelle’s Show.” In his new one-man show, he addresses his often painful personal past.

’90s kids: It’s finally happening!
When comedy is meant for more than laughs Comic Neal Brennan is starring in a one-man show that delves deep THEATER Comedian Neal Brennan is a very funny guy, but he’s only really funny two-thirds of the time in his new stand-up act. The writer and co-creator of “Chappelle’s Show” delves deep into his often painful personal past in the solo show “3 Mics,” offering a very human peek at the comedian, sandwiched between jokes about race and gender. “People connect to emotion; they don’t connect to thought,” he said at the Lynn Redgrave Theater. “There’s nothing more
interesting than performing for an audience, especially if you’re actually expressing things.” The stage he prowls now has three microphones, each of which Brennan visits during the course of his show. One is for random oneliners he calls “too inane” to build on. (Sample: “If I was black, I’d stand in front of tanning salons all day and laugh at the customers.”) Another mic is for his regular stand-up act, which currently delves into Lance Armstrong, Bill Cosby, ISIS and football players being violent off the field. (“You’re surprised? Their job, in and of itself, is attempted murder.”) But the middle microphone is where Brennan deals with some heavy but poignant issues, like
his relationship with fame and the passing of his emotionally withholding dad. (“To hear my father say he didn’t love me was both devastating and also liberating.”) Brennan said audiences take some time adjusting to the realness of the middle microphone but soon warm to it. “They’re like, ‘Stop doing the other mics! We don’t care about comedy at this point. I just want to hear about this stuff,’” he said. “It used to be if you did a halfhour on HBO that was a big deal. Then it became an hour,” he said of his turn toward theater with “3 Mics,” which singer John Legend is helping produce. “Now there are so many hours that it’s kind of like an arms race.” MARK KENNEDY (AP)

Playing off the recent obsession with 1990s nostalgia, Nickelodeon is working on a live-action movie based on the game show “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” parent company Viacom announced Tuesday. In the original show, kids competed to nab treasures from a Mayan temple. In the movie version, three siblings take on a life-or-death mission mirroring the challenges from the game show. It will include staples from the series like Olmec the talking head and the Steps of Knowledge, where the adventure begins. Production will begin this month and Isabela Moner, a Nickelodeon veteran known for “100 Things to Do Before High School,” will star. (EXPRESS)
Rolling Stones to play a free show in Cuba MUSIC The Rolling Stones announced Tuesday that they will play a free concert in Havana on March 25, becoming the biggest act to play Cuba since its 1959 revolution. The Stones will play in Havana’s Ciudad Deportiva three days after President Barack Obama visits Havana. The concert is expected to draw a massive audience in a country where the government once persecuted young people for listening to rock music, then seen as a tool of Western capitalism. Along with easing many restrictions on foreign music, art and literature, the Cuban government has increasingly allowed large gatherings not organized by the government in recent years. The Stones concert will almost certainly be one of the largest since Cuba began easing its limits on some nonofficial gatherings in the 1990s. The same week as the visits by Obama and The Rolling Stones, the Tampa Bay Rays are also expected to play the first Major League Baseball exhibition game in Cuba since 1999, part of an extraordinary string of events in a country that spent the Cold War isolated from the U.S. and its allies. The Havana “Concert for Amity” will cap the Stones’ America Latina Ole tour through seven Latin American cities. The band said it will donate instruments and musical equipment from sponsors to Cuban musicians during its visit. MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN (AP)

HEALTH FOCUSED
SETH FIEGERMAN, at mashable.com, reports on Subway’s pledge to
implement reforms to guarantee footlong sandwiches are an actual foot long. The company began taking heat a few years ago when customers discovered their sandwiches were a few inches short. In response, the chain said that “footlong” is just a branding play and not an actual measurement. Subway is set to settle a class-action lawsuit and pay $500 to each of the 10 customers who sued over the size.

The other two were for publisher Tim Ryan, who at the last minute was “persuaded to do the right thing” and give the tickets to reporters.

“The Bugatti Chiron is going to make the lives of the super-rich very lovely indeed.” NICK JAYNES, at mashable.com, is amazed by the new $2.6 million car
from Bugatti, which is the fastest in the world. The insanely expensive ride is the first from Bugatti in 11 years and boasts a W16-cylinder engine mounted in the rear of the car. Unfamiliar with that kind? That’s because Bugatti is the only carmaker to use it. It’s two V8 engines intertwined into one powerhouse. The car blasts from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 261 mph (but the speedometer goes up to 310 mph).

Tiegs, who has graced the cover three times, was asked what she thought of Ashley Graham’s history-making cover. Tiegs said she doesn’t like “that we’re talking about full-figured women because it’s glamorizing them.” Tiegs later apologized.

In a blog post, actress Eva Amurri told the scandalous tale of firing a nanny who was flirting with her husband. The nanny allegedly sent a text to her husband, Kyle Martino, that read, “Girl, did I mention to you how hot and sex my Boss is. I would love to f--- his brains out.” He thought the text was sent to him in error, but realized it wasn’t when he caught her peering into his bedroom.
