But that superstition brought misery to a sea turtle in Thailand from whom doctors removed 915 coins. Five veterinarians in Bangkok operated Monday on the 25-year-old female nicknamed “Bank,” whose stomach contained 11 pounds of coins and two fish hooks. All were removed. (AP)

The teens then allegedly fled with the victim’s cellphone, which police tracked to find them. (AP)

‘An apology is not enough’ ANNAPOLIS Lynne M. Jackson winced outside the Maryland State House on Monday as she listened to Charlie Taney repeat some of the words his great-great-grand-uncle wrote in the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dred Scott decision 160 years ago. Black people cannot be U.S. citizens and have no rights except the ones that white people give them. Whites are superior to blacks. Slavery is legal. “You can’t hide from the words that [Roger Brooke] Taney wrote,” Charlie Taney said, standing a few feet from a statue of his ancestor, who lived in Maryland and was chief justice of the nation’s highest court from 1836 until his death in 1864. “You can’t run, you can’t hide, you can’t look away. You have to face them.” Then Charlie Taney turned to Jackson, the great-great-granddaughter of Scott, an enslaved man who sued for his freedom. Taney apologized — on behalf of his family, to the Scott family and to all African-Americans,

for the “terrible injustice of the Dred Scott decision.” Jackson accepted the apology for her family and “all AfricanAmericans who have the love of God in their heart so that healing can begin.” Taney asked for a hug, and the two embraced. They met for the first time last year in New York. Their appearance Monday in Annapolis was part of an ongoing reconciliation process, and a push by the descendants of both families to

add a statue of Scott near the statue of Taney, which activists have sought to remove for years. Jackson, the founder of the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation, said her family believes having the statue of the pro-slavery chief justice, along with one of Scott and historical information about the court decision, would be a “learning experience and an educational opportunity.” “Add to it, don’t take from it,” Jackson said. Taney, an advertising executive, called his great-greatgrand-uncle a “complicated man,” but also a “stone racist.” It was Charlie Taney’s daughter, Kate Billingsley, who wrote “A Man of His Time,” a one-act fictional play about a Taney descendant meeting a Scott descendant. The play, produced in New York last year, brought real descendants of each family together for the first time. “A Taney bringing an apology to a Scott is like ‘bringing a BandAid to an amputation,’ ” goes one line from the play, which Charlie Taney quoted for the crowd Monday. “An apology is not enough,” he said. “But it is necessary.”

Metro moving ahead with fare increases
THE DISTRICT
Police: Man dies from punch in traffic dispute
One-way maximums would reach $6 during peak-period rail times
Metrobuses, trains become more reliable
CLIFF OWEN (AP)
TRANSPORTATION Metro will move forward with a previously announced plan to increase fares and reduce service as part of an effort to balance its operating budget for the coming fiscal year. In a statement released Monday afternoon, Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld acknowledged that the austerity budget is “tough medicine for the region,” but said it’s necessary to keep the transit agency out of dire financial straits. The Metro board of directors is expected to approve Wiedefeld’s revised budget. The proposal will be voted on by the board’s finance committee Thursday, and it will go to the full board later this month. Board chairman Jack Evans said at a meeting last week that he plans to support the fare increases and service cuts, because he sees no other options to balance the budget. Wiedefeld’s final budget proposal is largely the same as the proposal he floated late last year: Peak-period rail fares would increase 10 cents, with $2.25 as the new minimum and a $6 maximum one way. Off-peak fares would be 25 cents more; bus fares also would increase 25 cents, to $2. But the revised budget includes

Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said in a statement Monday that the austerity budget is “tough medicine” but necessary for the agency.
a few small-scale changes to placate riders who voiced concerns at a January public hearing. Weekly bus passes will remain at the current price, $17.50. Wait times between trains would be reduced to eight minutes between peak travel periods, but headways would remain the same during off-peak times. (Originally, Wiedefeld proposed that off-peak headways could grow to as much as 15 minutes.) And officials have decided to add back $5 million worth of bus routes that had been slated for the chopping block, though Metro’s statement did not indicate which routes had been given
a reprieve. Officials said they also intend to add some lifeline bus service to help riders previously dependent on late-night trains. But even with those small revisions, the upcoming budget will likely be seen as draconian, particularly to riders who have already suffered under eight months of SafeTrack-related delays. Ridership has declined significantly in the past year, and Metro board members remain concerned that a new round of fare increases would further encourage would-be customers to abandon the system. MARTINE POWERS (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Metrobuses and trains are experiencing fewer delays caused by mechanical issues, but the transit agency continues to struggle with on-time performance. Between 2015 and 2016, the reliability of Metro’s trains improved by about 13 percent, according to a “Vital Signs” performance report released by the transit agency Monday. That means that on average, each of Metro’s rail cars traveled 65,029 miles before it experienced a failure that caused a delay of four minutes or more — barely surpassing the agency’s target of an average 65,000 miles between delays. But even with last year’s improvements, railcar reliability was still 1.4 percent below the fleet’s performance in 2014. (TWP)

local ALEXANDRIA A Virginia school district has said it will close Wednesday as staff members join A Day Without a Woman, a national day of protest in which organizers urge female workers to stay home. School officials in Alexandria announced Monday that they would close schools Wednesday after 300 staff members requested that day off. Officials attributed the high number of requests to the protest, organized in conjunction with International Women’s Day. The district did not say how many of those requests
came from teachers, but the district of 15,000 students has about 1,400 teachers. “This is not a decision that was made lightly. We have been closely monitoring requests for leave on March 8, including communicating with school leaders and our education association,” Alexandria superintendent Alvin L. Crawley said in a statement. “The decision is based solely on our ability to provide sufficient staff to cover all our classrooms.” Elsewhere, school officials were urging teachers and principals to come to school Wednesday.

Transgender case sent back to appeals court
UK lawmakers vow to stomp out heel rules
COURTS The Supreme Court on Monday vacated a lower court’s ruling in favor of a Virginia transgender student after the Trump administration withdrew the federal government’s guidance to public schools regarding a controversial bathroom policy. The justices were scheduled to hear the case later this month. However, after the government’s position changed, the court said the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit should reconsider the dispute between the Gloucester County school board and 17-yearold Gavin Grimm. Initially, the 4th Circuit had relied on the Obama administration’s guidance that schools should let transgender students use the bathroom that corresponds with the student’s gender identity. The Trump administration withdrew that guidance, saying it needs more time to study the issue. The lower court will now consider whether civil rights law Title IX’s prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sex extends to gender identity. Both the school board and Grimm’s attorneys had asked the Supreme Court to let the case proceed, saying it presented a reading of Title IX that the court

ultimately will have to settle. Grimm began attending Gloucester High School as a boy during his sophomore year. He has changed his name and has
a birth certificate identifying him as a boy. Responding to the decision, Joshua Block, senior staff attorney at the ACLU’s LGBT Project and lead counsel for Grimm, said, “Nothing about today’s action changes the meaning of the law. Title IX and the Constitution protect Gavin and other transgender students from discrimination.” The Gloucester County School Board said in a statement, “On remand to the lower courts, the Board looks forward to explaining why its commonsense restroom and locker room policy is legal under the Constitution and federal law.” ROBERT BARNES

Labour lawmaker Helen Jones, who helped lead an investigation into dress codes, said she and her colleagues were shocked by what they found. “We found attitudes that belonged more — I was going to say in the 1950s, but probably the 1850s would be more accurate, than in the 21st century,” she told lawmakers.

ask her a lot of really random things,” said Emerson Labovich, a fifth-grader in Bethesda. “She can also rap and rhyme.” Ken Yarmosh, a 36-year-old Northern Virginia app developer, has multiple voice assistants in his family’s home, including Google’s and Amazon’s. Yarmosh’s 2-year-old son has been so enthralled by Alexa that he tries to speak with coasters and other cylindrical objects that look like Amazon’s device. Yarmosh’s son anthropomorphizes the device — which means to “ascribe human features to something,” Alexa explains. Humans do this a lot, Calvert said. We do it with dogs, dressing them up on Halloween. And when we encounter robots, we — especially children — treat them as equals. In 2012, University of Washington researchers published results of a study involving 90 children interacting with a life-size robot named Robovie. Most kids thought Robovie was a “social

Toy giant Mattel recently announced Aristotle, a home baby monitor due out this summer that “comforts, teaches and entertains” using AI from Microsoft. “Aristotle was specifically designed to grow up with a child,” the company says.

being.” When Robovie was shoved into a closet, more than half felt it wasn’t fair. A similar emotional connection is taking hold with Alexa and other assistants. The problem is that this emotional connection sets up expectations for children that devices can’t or weren’t designed to meet, causing confusion, frustration and even changes in the way kids talk or interact with adults, said Allison Druin, a University of Maryland professor who studies how children use technology.

Yarmosh’s son thought Alexa couldn’t understand him, but it was the algorithms that couldn’t grasp the pitch in his voice or the way children formulate questions. Educators introducing these devices into classrooms have encountered the same issue. Naomi S. Baron, an American University linguist who studies digital communication, wonders whether the devices will push children to value simplistic language and inquiries over nuance and complex questions. Parents are also noticing changes in their kids’ manners. To ask Alexa a question, you just say her name, followed by the query. No “please.” And no “thank you” before asking a follow-up. “There can be a lot of unintended consequences to interactions with these devices that mimic conversation,” said Kate Darling, an MIT professor who studies how humans interact with robots. “We don’t know what all of them are yet.” MICHAEL S. ROSENWALD (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TECHNOLOGY As millions of American families buy robotic voice assistants to turn off lights, order pizzas and check movie times, children are eagerly co-opting the gadgets to settle dinner table disputes, answer homework questions and entertain friends at sleepovers. Many parents have been startled and intrigued by the way these disembodied, know-it-all voices — Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, Microsoft’s Cortana — are affecting their kids’ behavior, making them more curious but also, at times, less polite. (Express is owned by Amazon founder Jeffrey P. Bezos, whose middle name is Preston, according to Alexa.) For children, the potential for transformative interactions is dramatic — at home and in classrooms. But psychologists, technologists and linguists are only beginning to ponder the possible perils of surrounding kids with artificial intelligence, particularly as they traverse important stages of social and language development. “How they react and treat this nonhuman entity is, to me, the biggest question,” said Sandra Calvert, a Georgetown University psychologist and director of the Children’s Digital Media Center. What if these gadgets lead children, whose faces are already glued to screens, further away from situations where they learn important interpersonal skills? It’s unclear whether any of the companies involved are paying attention to this issue. None responded to requests for comment. Children certainly enjoy their company, referring to Alexa like a family member: “We like to
MILITARY The Defense Department is investigating reports that some Marines shared naked photographs of female Marines, veterans and other women on a secret Facebook page. The photos — some apparently taken without the subjects’ knowledge — were shared on the Facebook page “Marines United,” whose members included activeduty and retired male Marines, Navy corpsmen and British Royal Marines. The posts included obscene comments about some of the women, officials said. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is now investigating. The photographs have been taken down. The investigation was first reported by the Center for Investigative Reporting. The activity was revealed by The War Horse, a nonprofit news organization run by Marine veteran Thomas Brennan. The CIR report said more than two dozen active-duty women, officers and enlisted, were identified by their rank, name and location in the photos on the Facebook page. Other photos of active-duty and veteran women were posted and shared through a Google Drive link.

If you have recently learned that you have HIV, you may want to consider the FLAIR clinical research study. The study will evaluate if two investigational medications, one called long-acting cabotegravir (CAB LA) and one called long-acting rilpivirine (RPV LA), can keep the amount of HIV virus in your body at low levels compared to a single tablet HIV regimen (containing three HIV medications). You may be eligible to participate in the FLAIR study if you: • Are at least 18 years old • Have been diagnosed with HIV • Have never received HIV treatment or received HIV treatment less than 10 days There are other requirements to be in the study that the study doctor will discuss with you to determine if you are eligible to participate. Study participation will last a minimum of 2–3 years. Participants will receive study-related tests and procedures, as well as the investigational medications, at no cost.

NATIONAL SECURITY North Korea’s latest volley of missile tests has added to pressure on a preoccupied Trump administration to identify how it will counter leader Kim Jong Un’s weapons development. North Korea’s march toward having a nuclear-tipped missile that could reach the U.S. mainland is among the pressing national security priorities President Trump faces. He has vowed it “won’t happen” but has yet to articulate a strategy to stop it. An administration official said Monday that tougher sanctions, military action and resumption of long-stalled negotiations are all under consideration as part of a policy review to provide options for the president within weeks. The official did not anticipate an immediate U.S. response to the North’s test-firing of four banned ballistic missiles Monday that South Korean and Japanese officials said flew about 620 miles. Three landed in waters that Japan, a close U.S. ally, claims as its exclusive economic zone. North Korea typically reacts during the annual U.S.-South

The Trump administration is looking at its options to respond to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Korean military drills that began last week. But this year’s response could be more heated. Victor Cha, a former White House adviser on Asia, said North Korea tends to up the tempo of the tests during the drills when relations with the U.S. are bad. Next week, the drills shift from tabletop exercises to military maneuvers. The U.S. and Japan have requested an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to discuss the latest missile launches, likely to take place Wednesday, a U.S. diplomat said. North Korea, meanwhile, urged the council to discuss the drills, asserting they are driving the region toward “nuclear disaster.” MATTHEW PENNINGTON (AP)

Trump signs scaled-back ban With legal challenges likely, new travel order targets six countries
GOP releases plan to replace Obamacare
JIM LO SCALZO (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)
POLITICS Without fanfare, President Donald Trump signed a scaled-back version of his controversial ban on many foreign travelers Monday, hoping to avoid a new round of lawsuits and outrage while fulfilling a central campaign promise. His order still bars new visas for people from six Muslim-majority countries for 90 days and temporarily shuts down America’s refugee program. The revised order eliminates some of the most contentious aspects in an effort to surmount the court challenges that are sure to come. Trump’s first order, issued just a week after his inauguration, was halted by federal courts. The new one leaves Iraq off the list of banned countries, but still affects would-be visitors and immigrants from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya. It also makes clear that current visa holders will not be affected, and it removes language that would give priority to religious minorities. It reinstates Trump’s fourmonth ban on all refugees from around the world and keeps in place his plan to reduce the number of refugees to be let into the U.S. this budget year to 50,000. But Syrians are no longer subject to an indefinite ban. The order won’t take effect until March 16, despite earlier

warnings from Trump and his aides that any delay would put national security at risk. Trump dropped the first order with a bang, signing the order in a high-profile ceremony at the Pentagon’s Hall of Heroes as Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis stood by. This time, the president skipped the public ceremony altogether. Instead, the administration chose to have Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Attorney General Jeff Sessions serve as its public faces. Tillerson said, “It is the president’s solemn duty to protect the American people, and with this order President Trump is exercising his rightful authority to keep our people safe.”
Why Iraq was dropped The White House dropped Iraq from the original list of seven targeted countries following pressure from the Pentagon and State Department, which noted Iraq’s role in fighting the Islamic State group. An Iraqi spokesman said the change marks a “positive step” and shows the countries have a “real partnership.” (AP)
The president repeatedly insisted he would continue to fight for the original order, but in the end, they chose to rescind it. Notably absent from Trump’s revised ban are repeated references to the death toll from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. None of the men who hijacked
jetliners that day were from any of the banned countries. In addition, removing language that gave priority to religious minorities helps address concerns that the initial ban was discriminatory, but the ban still focuses on Muslim-majority countries. Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said the group will move quickly to try to block the new order from taking effect, either by amending the existing lawsuits that blocked Trump’s original ban or seeking a new injunction. “The only way to actually fix the Muslim ban is not to have a Muslim ban,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the project.

POLITICS House Republicans on Monday released their long-awaited plan for unraveling former President Barack Obama’s health-care law, a package that would scale back the government’s role in health care and likely leave more Americans uninsured. House committees planned votes on the 123-page legislation Wednesday, launching what could be the year’s defining battle in Congress. Republicans dropped a plan pushed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to impose a firstever tax on the most generous employer-provided health plans. There are no estimates on specific impacts yet. The plan would repeal the law’s fines on people who don’t obtain health insurance. Instead of the ACA’s income-based premium subsidies, people would get tax credits based on age. The subsidies would phase out for people with higher incomes. Obama’s expansion of Medicaid to more lower-income people would continue until 2020. After that, states adding Medicaid recipients would no longer receive the federal funds Obama’s law has provided. Popular consumer protections in the Obama law would be retained, such as insurance safeguards for people with preexisting conditions, and parents’ ability to keep young adult children on their insurance until age 26.

Addition of Bogdanovic and Jennings, growth of Satoransky force Oubre to sit
On Sunday, the team started the final quarter with a new fiveman unit that included the bench foundation (Bogdanovic, Jennings and Mahinmi) and an interesting mix of starter Bradley Beal and rookie guard Tomas Satoransky. In his run of 4:37, Satoransky made two shots and helped trim the Wizards’ 11-point deficit to two points. After the game, coach Scott Brooks gave a telling response when asked why Satoransky played the fourth quarter. “We needed energy and we needed guys who are going to compete for their teammates,” Brooks said. “They’re going to have team agendas and just focus on playing aggressive for the team and I thought he [did] that.” Brooks also said Satoransky “gives you honest effort and that’s what we need. Especially at that point in the game, we needed it.” In his second game with the Wizards, Jennings drove to the

NBA Five weeks before the end of the NBA’s regular season, the Wizards are still experimenting with their rotation. The infusion of three key pieces — Bojan Bogdanovic as a sixth man, along with secondunit players Ian Mahinmi and Brandon Jennings — makes for a nightly guessing game of who’s in the rotation and who’s out. On Sunday, Kelly Oubre Jr. was out after two quarters and six minutes of playing time, and he watched the entire second half of a 115-114 win over the Magic from the bench. In the fourth quarter, the redhot Bogdanovic (27 points, 8-of-10 on 3-pointers) closed the game by joining Otto Porter Jr. and Markieff Morris to create the small and effective frontcourt — a role that once belonged to Oubre. In six games with the Wizards, Bogdanovic is averaging 15.5 points on .536 shooting.

Brooks didn’t mince words in his postgame interview, saying he thought Jennings “played much better” than in his debut Friday — when he had two assists and missed all three field goal attempts — but still needs to crank up the confidence. “He doesn’t feel comfortable taking open shots, and I got on him a little bit in the game,” Brooks said. “I need players that are being aggressive, that are making the right basketball play. I don’t like guys passing up shots that they work on all day long, every day in the gym. gym.”

ACC Tournament takes New York MEN’S BASKETBALL Tobacco Road intersects with Flatbush Avenue this week when the ACC Tournament comes to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The conference begins a twoyear run today in New York City as it tries to stake a claim in the country’s largest media market. First-round play starts today with Clemson vs. N.C. State (noon, ESPN2), Wake Forest vs. Boston College (2, ESPN2) and Georgia Tech vs. Pitt (7, ESPNU). This is the first time the conference tournament has been held north of the Mason-Dixon Line, although the ACC has deep ties to the city. Famed North Carolina coach Frank McGuire hailed from the Big Apple, as do greats Billy Cunningham, Kenny Smith and Charlie Scott. In the 1990s, Georgia Tech lured star
point guard Kenny Anderson from Queens and Stephon Marbury from Brooklyn. Since the ACC Tournament started in 1954, it had been held outside of North Carolina only 12 times, with Washington the northernmost site. The ACC began its expansion north in 2005, when it added Boston College along with Miami and Virginia Tech. In 2013 and ’14, it added Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Louisville. For years, those schools would play their conference tournament in Madison Square Garden. Defending national champion Villanova, Georgetown, St. John’s and the rest of the newlook Big East are still holding court at the Garden, so the ACC brokered a deal with Barclays. RALPH D. RUSSO (AP)

USOC knew of abuse risks in 1999 OLYMPIC SPORTS In October 1999, the former chief executive of USA Gymnastics told the United States Olympic Committee it had a problem. Many Olympic sport governing bodies lacked basic sex abuse prevention measures that were commonplace at the time, then-USA Gymnastics CEO Bob Colarossi wrote in a letter, and child athletes thus were at risk. Colarossi wrote that USAG was an exception.
That letter is evidence that sex abuse of child athletes in Olympic sports was a well-known issue long before 2014, when the USOC first required all Olympic sport organizations to implement background checks, abuse education, and policies for handling claims of sexual misconduct. The letter was included in court documents and testimony unsealed Friday in a Georgia lawsuit against USA Gymnastics
over how it handled claims made against a coach later convicted of sexual exploitation of children. “This is not an issue that can be wished away,” Colarossi wrote 15 years earlier to three USOC executives, including current CEO Scott Blackmun. “The USOC can either position itself as a leader in the protection of young athletes or it can wait until it is forced to deal with the problem.” Blackmun said Sunday he

MASN explains lack of games on TV in spring MASN will broadcast just seven spring training games each for the Nationals and Orioles this year. For the Nats, that includes only one weekend game — Sunday against the Astros — and four weekday matinees. For the rest of MLB teams, regional spring TV schedules range from a two-game slate for the Athletics to a 34-game schedule for the Angels. Eighteen teams have at least 10 games scheduled on local television. MASN President John Angelos recently spoke on the “B-More Opinionated” podcast and addressed the number of games the network carries. “We’re probably somewhere in the middle with MASN, with our two teams, doing the same thing for both clubs equally,” he said. “I can understand the argument from fans, or the desire from fans to do more. Sometimes the concern is well, let’s focus on prime-time games that larger audience groups can watch, let’s focus on weekend games. A lot of the games are afternoon games on weekdays; those probably get dropped out a bit more readily.” Angelos also said “production challenges” at spring ballparks that might not be wired for cameras can drive up costs. You can watch the Nationals play the Red Sox on MASN at 1 p.m. today. DAN STEINBERG

HEALTH ADVICE
Spice up your life Spices and herbs add delicious variety to the foods we eat. But spices and herbs are much more than flavor enhancers — they are nutritional powerhouses. Here are four you should keep in your spice cabinet. Late-night snacking can be the biggest challenge to overcome for any healthy eater.

CARRIE DENNETT (TWP)
Skip the late-night snack Few of us eat the standard three meals a day anymore, according to a recent scientific statement by the American Heart Association published in the journal Circulation. Instead, we are skipping meals (20 to 30 percent of U.S. adults don’t eat breakfast), snacking more often and eating nearly around the clock. The downsides of late-night eating go beyond the unhealthfulness of the ultra-processed, sugar- and salt-laden foods we tend to munch on after dinner. The timing itself is also a major issue: Our bodies metabolize foods differently at different times of the day. Eating more calories at night, as opposed to earlier in the day, is linked to obesity, increased inflammation and greater risk of heart disease and diabetes. The good news is that late-night eating is a habit we have the power to change. Here are five strategies you can use to reset your eating patterns. ELLIE KRIEGER (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Eat regular meals
Pick a cutoff time
Wait and re-evaluate
Plan a snack
Set ground rules
Not eating enough throughout the day sets the stage for nighttime bingeing. Flip this pattern and give yourself a fighting chance for success after sundown by eating regular meals and snacks throughout the day, planning and even preparing them ahead so you are not caught scrambling when you are busy. You don’t have to go with three square meals; it can be two or three meals and a couple of snacks or several small meals. The idea is to find a pattern that works for you.
Many individuals find it helpful to draw a line in the sand, picking a cutoff time to stop eating in the evening. About 8 or 9 p.m. seems to work for most people, but you can choose whatever time is best for you. Ideally, it should be about three hours before your bedtime, giving you enough time to digest your dinner but not so long that you are likely to get hungry again before going to sleep. You may break this rule once in a while, but the cutoff helps set some boundaries.
If you are craving food at night, instead of raiding the refrigerator, take a 15-minute pause. Check in with how you are feeling and ask yourself whether you are really hungry or whether, perhaps, there is another way to find satisfaction. A relaxing bath or cup of tea might do the trick if it’s stress that is driving you to eat. In that 15-minute window, the craving might pass, you might find yourself happily distracted by another activity or you might decide to eat something after all.
If you tend to eat dinner early or your evening meal is on the lighter side and you regularly find yourself hungry at night, plan a small, healthy snack to eat between dinner and bedtime — some fruit and yogurt, a cup of soup, avocado toast, apple slices and a nut butter or even a glass of milk. The idea is to strategically snack to manage your hunger rather than let your appetite leave you vulnerable to randomly munching whatever snacks are in your pantry or refrigerator.
It’s practically a national pastime — eating out of a bag or carton while sitting on the sofa watching TV — but it’s a scene that creates a perfect storm for mindless overeating. To break that unhealthy habit, set some new ground rules. When you choose to eat something — any time of day, but especially at night — put a portion into a bowl or onto a plate and put the rest away. Sit away from the television and fully enjoy your food. Return to your regular programming when you’re done.

Q. I regularly eat lunch with a multigenerational group of female co-workers. The common denominator seems to be complaining about husbands a lot of the time. I find it uncomfortable. My husband and I get along well, but I feel like these women expect me to chime in with stories of my own. Is it better to stay silent or to try to redirect them to other topics? LUNCHTIME RUT That depends on what you want. If you just want to be around these women for the camaraderie and are OK with their venting, then there’s nothing wrong with staying silent.

Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange didn’t feud on the set of “Feud,” if that’s what you’re thinking.
Bros. boss Jack Warner (Stanley Tucci) rhetorically asks, “Would you give either of these broads a toss in the hay?” “Feud” also asserts that Warner and his ilk are the reason Davis and Crawford battled to begin with. “They were fighting a culture that has ‘It Girls’ that says there is only one girl at a time,” Murphy says. “It creates a competitive culture, and men use that to their advantage by pitting women against each other.” That’s not to say “Feud” doesn’t have a light touch. It brims with juicy details, like Crawford washing her face with witch hazel and ice cubes every morning. “Some of the stuff these women did was bats--- crazy and hilarious,” Murphy says. He then adds that he made the project from “a real place of love and respect. Both women were misunderstood and were victims
From the source Several factoids in “Bette and Joan” came to creator Ryan Murphy directly from Bette Davis’ mouth. They kept up a pen-pal relationship after he wrote to her as a kid. When he became a journalist more than a decade later, she gave him an interview. “She dressed up for me. She was wearing a Patrick Kelly suit and a wig,” he recalls.

That has a lot to do with the fact that men are at the helm — and maybe they have some kind of inflated idea about themselves.” Sarandon is hopeful about the rash of female comedians who’ve had success “making great films that star a bunch of women.” “That is a modern idea — that women are better and stronger together, unified as a force,” Murphy says. “It was a tragedy that [Davis and Crawford] could have been allies and friends. They had more in common than anyone at the time. They were both married four times, Academy Award winners, single mothers. I wish they had unified. I think that they would have been happier.” JANE BORDEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

It may be a relief to hear, then, that Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange, who play Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, respectively, got along. “Yes, we did,” Sarandon says. “I said to Jess, at the closing of the whole thing, I said, ‘Thank God we got along,’ because [the project] was hard. It was really challenging.” Series creator Ryan Murphy agrees. “We had a nervous first week, because we didn’t want to do impersonations. The first two days, I wanted to quit.” “I was fighting against a female-impersonator version of [Davis], the cliche you see of her all the time,” Sarandon explains. “And she is over-the-top, so what do you do about that?” Lange faced a different challenge. “I remember saying to Ryan, ‘I don’t know how to play this character. I don’t know who she is.’ ” Lange gained insight after researching Crawford’s childhood and, she says, “acknowledging the incredible artifice, the creation of Joan Crawford,” and then playing to what was “always just barely beneath the surface.” Getting behind such facades is precisely what the series, which premiered Sunday on FX, endeavors to do. In the first episode, Olivia de Havilland (Catherine Zeta-Jones) says, “Feuds are never about hate. Feuds are about pain.” And these depictions of Davis and Crawford are heartbreaking. We meet them in their 50s as alcoholics whose careers have dried up because, as the notoriously shrewd Warner

“Is it too late for Google to hire Alex Jones to do the voice of Ok-Google?” @BOUNDANGLE responding on Twitter to Rory Cellan-Jones, a BBC journalist
who tweeted a video of himself asking virtual assistant Google Home, “Is Obama planning a coup?” Google, citing conspiracy website Secrets of the Fed, answered: “Not only could Obama be in bed with the Communist Chinese, but Obama may in fact be planning a Communist coup d’etat at the end of his term in 2016.” It seems that Google got itself into some fake news trouble with its algorithm and featured answers. Recode reported Sunday that Google acknowledged that sometimes its algorithm features a site with “inappropriate or misleading content,” and that it has removed that particular featured answer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) One thing begins and another ends. The world is sending you certain messages, so make yourself receptive. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have to get closer to someone in order to glean what he or she plans to do. Words will tell you only so much. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others may think you’re selling out, but the truth is that you’re just giving something new a try. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll get good advice, but you may still be torn in two directions. Personal and business concerns exert strong pressure. MONDAY’S SOLUTION

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may not be enthusiastic about the instructions you’ll be given — not because of the intent, but the odds of success.
TODAY: We’re solidly into the warmer flow of air, and temperatures respond by rising into the 60s. Skies are variably cloudy and showers are a good possibility, especially as the afternoon wears on and into the evening. Skies should start a clearing process toward morning as lows fall back into the 40s.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Share what you know, and everyone around you can come out ahead by day’s end. If you are reluctant to speak openly, hazards will abound. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The closer you get to the action, the better you’ll be able to acquit yourself. Others are eager for your contribution.

Chrissy writes on postpartum depression
Internet is still mad at Emma Emma Watson responded after critics online said a photo from her Vanity Fair cover story, in which her breasts are loosely covered by a crocheted capelet, betrays her advocacy for feminism. “It just always reveals to me how many misconceptions and what a misunderstanding there is about what feminism is,” she told Reuters. “Feminism is about giving women choice. Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women.”
Chrissy Teigen revealed in an essay she penned for Glamour magazine that she has battled postpartum depression since the birth of her daughter, r, Luna, last April. She wrote that she has been “unhappy” for much of the last year, had difficulty y mustering energy to write her next cookbook or returning to work on “Lip Sync Battle,” and spent a lot of time indoors on her couch. Her doctor diagnosed her before the holidays and she has since been on medication. “I’m speaking up now because I want people to know it can happen to anybody and I don’t want people who have it to feell embarrassed or to feel alone,” she wrote.

Wow, who’d ever want to be seen in a drugstore — how embarrassing! Hunter and Hallie Biden — who struck up a romance after Beau, Hunter’s late brother and Hallie’s late husband, died — “went to extreme lengths” to not be seen at a Walgreens in Delaware together, the New York Post reported. They allegedly took two cars, and entered and exited separately. Hunter wore a cap and sunglasses. (EXPRESS)

In a recent “Road Trippin’” podcast on his website, Uninterrupted, NBA star LeBron James discussed how he apologized to his wife, Savannah, for his focus on basketball. “I said, ‘Because [of] the journey that I’m on to want to be the greatest to ever play this game … there will be times that I lose the fact of how important you and my three kids are — my babies — are.’ ” (TWP)
