‘Hey, never mind the burglary — how many ghosts did you bust?!’

Authorities say a man broke into a Phoenix apartment earlier this month and started cooking.

Court papers say a woman found Jerry Christopher Drane, 31, in the kitchen cooking tortillas on top of a stove burner. She yelled for her roommate and both women demanded that Drane leave. They told police Drane then went onto the balcony and began eating a can of soup. Officers say he showed signs of being intoxicated and was arrested. (AP)

Ghost-hunting may come back to haunt a man picked to serve on a compensation board for crime victims in Alaska. During a hearing last week, John Francis voluntarily explained setting up recorders in homes as part of investigations. Francis said he expected more questions on his past criminal activity — which includes burglary and insurance fraud — rather than his ghost-hunting activities. It’s unclear if he will be confirmed for the position. (AP)

An interlude from city life RECREATION On a bus ride last year with Wanderbirds Hiking Club, which bills itself as the oldest hiking club in the D.C. area, Mike Ollinger apologized for having been away.

He explained that he had gotten married — to a woman he met a decade earlier on a Wanderbirds hike.

“It was better than Match. com,” newlywed Anna Ollinger said in an interview.

The couple had married in a small ceremony, but considered their true celebration the hike they led that July, said Mike Ollinger. Afterward, they treated hikers to beer and soft drinks.

This was not unusual for the Wanderbirds. Members can point to at least 10 marriages in recent years where the couple met through the hiking club, a Washington institution that celebrates its 85th anniversary this year.

The nonprofit, all-volunteer group has about 250 members and meets weekly year-round, rain or shine, for hikes in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

EVELYN HOCKSTEIN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Volunteer hiking club celebrates 85 years of exploring local trails

Pat Fairfax, vice president of the Wanderbirds Hiking Club, leads a group of hikers through Leesylvania State Park in Virginia last month.

Each week, between 30 and 50 people hike with the club, paying $20 for a chartered bus that takes them to a national park or forest or state park. Hikers can choose between a moderate hike (8 to 10 miles with some elevation) or a long hike (around 14 miles with more elevation). There are also hikes that are just a couple of miles and then back to the bus.

The club’s regulars have experienced many of life’s milestones together, off the trail and on.

More than one member has had

Wanderbirds history According to a club history, which was first published in 2004, the Wanderbirds’ inaugural hike was on April 1, 1934. The group began at Cabin John and went across Chain Bridge, through the woods to Glebe Road, and back across Chain Bridge, a 12-mile route that today would be full of traffic and fences.

The Washington Post sponsored the group in its initial years, until 1936, by publishing the week’s hike schedule. (TWP)

an on-trail fatal heart attack, and others have broken bones, twisted ankles, sprouted blisters and gotten lost. There have been encounters with black bears and rattlesnakes. In 1983, a hiker fell asleep at a lunch stop, and no one noticed his absence on the bus ride back. He had to hitchhike home, the club’s history notes.

Bruce Babbitt, who served as Interior Department secretary under President Bill Clinton, was a regular. Babbitt, 80, said he’s been out with the Wanderbirds at least once in the past few years.

He said hiking was a great interlude from what he calls the “Washington political class.”

By the end of a long day of hiking, “people didn’t have a clue that I had been secretary of the interior. They didn’t even care,” he said.

While hikers do sometimes talk politics on the trail, it’s never too intense, said Wanderbirds president Bob Malkowski. “This is probably the only place where people can still remain friends after talking politics,” he said.

People show up to be outside in nature, he added, not to talk shop. “We get away from it all on the trail.” DEBRA BRUNO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Evans’ political future at risk THE DISTRICT In his tenure as the District’s longest-serving council member, a reign now in its third decade, Jack Evans has been subject to periodic questions about his ethical conduct, none of which have prevented him from winning re-election seven times.

His cakewalk may be over.

For the first time, a federal grand jury issued a subpoena in September for Evans’ records to determine whether he used his public office to help a private company. And Tuesday, in a sign of an expanding probe, prosecutors also subpoenaed records pertaining to Evans from the office of Mayor Muriel Bowser and the 13-member D.C. Council.

In addition, emails obtained

by The Washington Post show that Evans, in his own words, repeatedly offered to use on behalf of prospective clients the network of political connections and the influence he built as a lawmaker and as chairman of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.

A close ally of Bowser’s, Evans, D-Ward 2, is facing an impending council reprimand, a WMATA ethics investigation and demands from more than two dozen neighborhood leaders that he be stripped of his chairmanship of the council’s finance and revenue committee.

By last Wednesday, Democratic

MICHAEL ROBINSON CHAVEZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Council member could be hurt by federal probe, ethics rebuke

D.C. Council member Jack Evans is sworn in for his seventh term in 2017.

operatives were questioning if Evans — until now a sure bet in a ward that includes Georgetown, Dupont Circle and downtown — can win re-election next year.

At the moment, Evans’ greatest vulnerability is the grand jury investigation, which appears to have begun with questions about his relationship with a digital-sign company, Digi Outdoor Media, and legislation

“You only score on offense, and right now Jack is entirely on defense.”

TOM LINDENFELD, a political consultant whose clients have included D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, saying Jack Evans is damaged politically because of the “specter of unethical or even corrupt behavior”

he drafted in 2016 that would have benefited the company.

That probe appears to have widened; the subpoenas issued to the Bowser administration and the D.C. Council in the past week suggest that investigators are also looking into relationships between Evans and a number of real estate developers, law firms and lobbyists.

“There’s a Teflon aspect to Jack. He knows everyone, he’s probably done something for a lot of them, and he’s an affable guy,” said Chuck Thies, a political consultant who has worked for Evans. “The difference now is when people hear ‘grand jury,’ ‘subpoena’ and ‘U.S. attorney,’ they think criminal behavior.

The fundraising can dry up.”

The latest missteps by Evans, a survivor of more than a few unflattering episodes in his career, are a stunning turn for a business-friendly politician who has been pivotal to the kinds of projects that have defined the District’s economic renaissance: Nationals Park, the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and what is now known as the Capital One Arena.

Evans, in a statement to reporters last week that he delivered without taking questions, apologized for his conduct, though he did not explain what he had done wrong.

“It was just a mistake, to be honest with you,” Evans said.

“And that’s it. In a hurry. Not thinking. You know? And it just happened by mistake.”

BALTIMORE Maryland’s highest court denied a new trial Friday for a man whose murder conviction was chronicled in the hit podcast “Serial.”

In a 4-3 opinion, the Court of Appeals agreed with a lower court that Adnan Syed’s legal counsel was deficient in failing to investigate an alibi witness, but it disagreed that the deficiency prejudiced the case. The court said Syed waived his ineffective counsel claim.

The court reversed a Court of Special Appeals’ judgment, sending the case back to that court with directions to reverse a Baltimore Circuit Court judgment granting a new trial.

Syed is serving a life sentence after he was convicted in 2000 of strangling 17-yearold Hae Min Lee and burying her body in a Baltimore park.

More than a decade later, the popular “Serial” podcast brought Syed’s case to millions of listeners with its debut 2014 season.

The show revealed little-known evidence and attracted millions of listeners, shattering podcaststreaming and downloading records.

In the majority opinion, Court of Appeals Judge Clayton Greene concluded “there is not a significant or substantial possibility that the verdict would have been different” if Syed’s lawyer had presented the alibi witness, Asia McClain, who said she saw Syed at a public library in Woodlawn, Md., around the time the state contended Syed killed Lee on Jan. 13, 1999.

Syed’s attorney Justin Brown said in a statement that they are “devastated” by the decision “but we will not give up on Adnan Syed.” BRIAN WITTE (AP)

Trump to call for $8.6B in new wall funding

Type D

Budget request will set the stage for renewed conflict with Congress TYPE D

Possible new orca species seen off Chile

GREGORY BULL (AP)

WASHINGTON President Trump on Monday will request at least another $8.6 billion in funding to build more sections of a wall along the Mexico border, setting up a fresh battle with Congress less than one month after Trump declared a national emergency.

In Trump’s annual budget request to Congress, he will request $5 billion in funding for the Department of Homeland Security to continue building sections of a wall along the Mexico border, three people briefed on the request said. He will request another $3.6 billion for the Defense Department’s military construction budget to erect more sections of a wall.

The people describing the request spoke on the condition of anonymity because the budget had not been made public yet, but a top White House official acknowledged the request in an interview on Fox News Sunday. Reuters first reported the $8.6 billion figure.

Asked if Trump’s new border funding request signals that a new budget fight is coming, Larry Kudlow, the White House’s top economic adviser, responded, “I suppose there will be. I would just say that the whole issue of the wall, of border security, is

Common

President Trump last month declared a national emergency on the border.

of paramount importance. We have a crisis down there. I think the president has made that case very effectively.”

Top Democrats reacted swiftly to reports that Trump was seeking more money for the wall, reflecting how they are girding for the fight and believe that public sentiment is on their side.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., added that Trump caused a government shutdown in December because he defied Congress and demanded a wall. They said lawmakers were prepared to block his demand this time as well.

“We hope he learned his lesson,”

they said in a joint statement.

The request will come as part of a broader proposal that would call for cutting $2.7 trillion in spending over 10 years for a range of programs, including welfare assistance, environmental protection and foreign aid. At the same time, Trump will seek to dramatically boost the military’s budget from $716 billion to $750 billion next year.

The contrast is meant to bring into sharper focus the White House’s priorities heading into budget negotiations this summer, even if many lawmakers have already declared the proposals dead on arrival. DAMIAN PALETTA AND ERICA WERNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

An international team of researchers says it found a couple of dozen distinctly different orcas roaming in the waters off southern Chile in January. Scientists are waiting for DNA tests from a tissue sample, but think the whales may be a distinct species. The large white eye patch common to killer whales is tiny on these new creatures. Their heads are more rounded and less sleek, and their dorsal fins are narrower and pointed. At 20 to 25 feet long, they are slightly smaller than most killer whales. They also are believed to eat fish, rather than marine mammals. In the Southern Hemisphere, killer whales are considered all one species, classified as types A through C. These new whales are called type D, or subantarctic, killer whales. (AP)

Canada’s ‘pseudo-scandal’ CANADA There’s no money, no sex and nothing illegal happened. This is what passes for a scandal in Canada.

U.S. President Trump has been engulfed in allegations involving possible collusion with Russia and secret payments to buy the silence of a porn star. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a controversy that seems trivial by comparison, but it could topple him in elections in October.

Two high-profile women ministers in Trudeau’s Cabinet, including Canada’s first indigenous justice minister, resigned in protest, and his top aide and best friend quit too.

The former justice minister and attorney general, Jody Wilson-Raybould, says Trudeau and senior members of his government pressured her in a case involving SNC-Lavalin, a major Canadian engineering company accused of corruption related to its business dealings in Libya.

Trudeau reportedly leaned on the attorney general to instruct

prosecutors to reach the equivalent of a plea deal because he felt that jobs were at stake.

“People south of the border would be astonished to think that this is the type of scandal that they have in Canada,” said Eddie Goldenberg, an ex-adviser to former Prime Minister Jean Chretien.

Many countries would be jealous of a scandal that went no further than a prime minister asking another minister to do something

Sudan sentenced nine women to a month’s imprisonment for taking part in anti-government protests, an opposition group said Sunday, the latest in a crackdown aimed at quashing almost three months of protests calling for the country’s autocratic president to step down.

The emergency court also ordered 20 lashes for each woman, but then waived the flogging, apparently giving in to pressure from the women’s families rallying outside the courthouse at the time. (AP)

Iran’s president this week will make his first official visit to Iraq as he faces mounting pressure from hardliners at home in the wake of the Trump administration’s unraveling of the nuclear deal. Hassan Rouhani’s trip is meant to solidify ties between Shiite power Iran and Iraq’s Shiite led-government. It is also Iran’s response to President Trump’s December trip to Iraq and his comments that U.S. forces should stay in Iraq to keep an eye on neighboring Iran. (AP)

she is legally entitled to do, Goldenberg said.

Trudeau denied applying any inappropriWilsonate pr e s s u r e Raybould to Wilson-Raybould, saying he and his officials were only pointing out that prosecution could endanger jobs.

The company has about 9,000 employees in Canada and more

than 50,000 worldwide.

SNC-Lavalin has pleaded not guilty to fraud and corruption charges related to allegations it paid about $35 million in bribes in Libya between 2001 and 2011.

“It’s a pseudo-scandal. It’s crap.

What the hell? You are doing business in Libya and you are not bribing?” said Robert Bothwell, a professor of Canadian history and international relations at the University of Toronto. “It does suggest to me that the director of public prosecutions ... is also nuts. And so is Wilson-Raybould.

These people are delusional.”

Wilson-Raybould was demoted from her role as attorney general and justice minister in January as part of a Cabinet shuffle by Trudeau. She has testified that she believes she lost the justice job because she did not give in to “sustained” pressure to instruct the director of public prosecutions to negotiate a remediation agreement with SNC-Lavalin.

Gerald Butts, Trudeau’s former principal secretary and best friend, who resigned last month, said nothing inappropriate was alleged until after Wilson-Raybould left the Cabinet, suggesting she felt sour grapes about losing her dream job. ROB GILLIES (AP)

Unvaccinated Ore. boy nearly dies of tetanus HEALTH An unvaccinated 6-year-old Oregon boy was hospitalized for two months for tetanus and almost died of the bacterial illness after getting a deep cut while playing on a farm, according to a case study published Friday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The 2017 case is the first case of pediatric tetanus in Oregon in more than 30 years, and it alarmed infectious disease experts, who said tetanus is almost unheard-of in the U.S. since widespread immunization began in the 1940s.

The child received an emergency dose of the tetanus vaccine in the hospital, but his parents declined to give him a second dose — or any other childhood shots — after he recovered, the paper said.

The boy cut himself on the forehead while playing, and his family stitched up the wound themselves. Six days later, he began clenching his jaw, arching his neck and back, and having uncontrollable muscle spasms.

When he began to have trouble breathing, his parents called paramedics and he was transported by air to a children’s hospital in Portland.

The child’s care — not including the air ambulance and inpatient rehabilitation — cost nearly $1 million, about 72 times the mean for a pediatric hospitalization in the U.S., the paper noted. GILLIAN FLACCUS (AP)

nation+world Lawmakers warn that prolonging the process would lead to ‘calamity’

LONDON Two prominent Brexit backers are warning Prime Minister Theresa May not to seek a delay to Britain’s scheduled March 29 departure from the European Union if her withdrawal deal is rejected Tuesday.

Conservative Party lawmaker Steve Baker and Democratic Unionist deputy leader Nigel Dodds wrote in the Sunday Telegraph that prolonging the Brexit process rather than making a clean break would lead to “political calamity.”

The two said slowing Britain’s

departure would mean a “costly delay” for British businesses and irreparable damage to public trust in politics.

Brexiteers who are ready to embrace a “no-deal” Brexit if no agreement is approved by Britain’s Parliament worry that a possible vote this week to seek an extension of the talks will eventually lead to a softening or cancellation of Brexit plans.

Their warnings are based on the widespread belief that May’s 585-page withdrawal agreement, reached after more than two years of rigorous talks with the EU, will be defeated in Parliament unless last-minute concessions are made by European leaders.

Thus far, the terms are unchanged from the withdrawal

plan that received a shellacking in Parliament in January, losing by some 230 votes, a record rejection of a sitting government.

The prospect of another defeat has all sides jockeying for position.

Scottish National Party leader Ian Blackford said Sunday that his party will put forward an amendment giving it the authority to hold another independence referendum if Britain does leave the EU. The Scottish party is firmly opposed to Brexit, and its leaders point out that Scotland’s population voted to remain in the EU in the 2016 referendum.

Blackford says the party seeks “a recognition that if the U.K. does leave the European Union that the people of Scotland should be able to determine their own destiny and in particular should have that power to have an independence referendum if we so choose.” GREGORY KATZ (AP)

7 police officers in Georgia fatally shoot man charging them with an airsoft gun

COURTS U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who was recently in the spotlight for the Roger Stone case, is set to decide Wednesday whether she will add prison time to former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort’s sentence.

Jackson 64, comes primed for her role by three decades as an attorney and judge dissecting sensitive political corruption and white-collar criminal cases in the nation’s capital.

“She is smart, fair, always prepared, and tough,” said Reid Weingarten, who represented former Democratic congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., whom she sentenced to 30 months in prison in August 2013 for spending $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.

Manafort received a 47-month term last week from U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III in Alexandria.

Ellis fueled controversy with the sentence, which fell far below federal advisory guidelines of up to 24 years that Ellis called “excessive” for Manafort’s bank and tax fraud convictions.

Under the terms of Manafort’s plea agreement with prosecutors for special counsel Robert Mueller, the 69-year-old faces up to a 10-year sentence from Jackson after admitting to conspiring to hide millions he earned as an unregistered lobbyist for Ukrainian politicians over a decade and attempting to tamper with witnesses after he was charged.

Plane crash kills 157

Shocked leaders of the United Nations, the U.N. refugee agency and the World Food Program announced that colleagues had been on the plane. The U.N. migration agency estimated some 19 U.N.affiliated employees were killed.

Both Addis Ababa and Nairobi are major hubs for humanitarian workers, and many people were on their way to a large U.N. environmental conference set to begin Monday in Nairobi.

The Addis Ababa-Nairobi route links East Africa’s two largest economic powers. A list of the dead released by Ethiopian Airlines included passengers from China, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Israel, India and Somalia.

The crash is likely to renew

MULUGETA AYENE (AP)

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA An Ethiopian Airlines jet faltered and crashed Sunday shortly after takeoff from the country’s capital, carving a gash in the earth and spreading global grief to 35 countries that had someone among the 157 people who were killed. Eight Americans were among the dead.

There was no immediate indication why the plane went down in clear weather while on a flight to Nairobi, the capital of neighboring Kenya. The crash was strikingly similar to that of a Lion Air jet that plunged into the sea off Indonesia minutes after takeoff last year, killing 189 people. Both accidents involved the Boeing 737 Max 8.

The crash shattered more than two years of relative calm in African skies, where travel had long been chaotic. It also was a serious blow to state-owned Ethiopian Airlines, which has expanded to become the continent’s largest and best-managed carrier and turned Addis Ababa into the gateway to Africa.

“Ethiopian Airlines is one of the safest airlines in the world.

At this stage we cannot rule out anything,” CEO Tewolde Gebremariam told reporters. He visited the crash site, standing in the gaping crater flecked with debris.

Black body bags were spread out nearby while Red Cross and other workers looked for remains. As the sun set, the airline’s chief operating officer said the plane’s flight data recorder had not yet been found.

Around the world, families were gripped by grief. At the Addis Ababa airport, a woman called a mobile number in vain.

“Where are you, my son?” she said, in tears. Others cried as they approached the terminal.

accident Boeing sent a notice to airlines that faulty information from a sensor could cause the plane to automatically point the nose down. The Lion Air cockpit data recorder showed that the jet’s airspeed indicator had malfunctioned on its last four flights, though the airline initially said problems had been fixed.

Safety experts cautioned against drawing too many comparisons between the two crashes until more is known about Sunday’s disaster.

The Ethiopian Airlines CEO “stated there were no defects prior to the flight, so it is hard to see any parallels with the Lion Air crash yet,” said Harro Ranter, founder of the Aviation Safety Network, which compiles information about accidents worldwide.

Boeing issued a statement that it was “deeply saddened” about the crash, adding that a “Boeing technical team is prepared to provide technical assistance” ELIAS MESERET AND YIDNEK KIRUBEL (AP)

NEW YORK A man who said he was cleaning out an old videotape collection found a video of a man who appeared to be R&B singer R. Kelly sexually abusing girls, he and his attorney said Sunday at a press conference in New York.

Gary Dennis of Pennsylvania said he was cleaning out a box of old VHS tapes in his home recently when he found the footage on a tape that was labeled with Kelly’s name. Dennis said he has never met Kelly and doesn’t know how the tape came to be in his possession. He said that because the tape also has a sports game on it, he believes it may have come from a friend.

“To my shock and surprise, R. Kelly appeared to be on the tape, but not in concert,” Dennis said.

“Instead he was sexually abusing underaged African-American girls.”

Dennis turned the tape over to law enforcement, according to attorney Gloria Allred. She said it appears to show a separate incident from the 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse that Kelly faces in Chicago, though she acknowledged she could not be “100 percent certain” that the man in the tape is Kelly.

Steve Greenberg, an attorney for Kelly, said it is not Kelly in the video. Meanwhile, Kelly was released Saturday from a Chicago jail after a person who did not want to be identified paid $161,633 that the R&B singer owed in back child support. STEPHEN R. GROVES (AP)

Trea Turner, left, is working this spring with Brian Dozier, who succeeds Daniel Murphy as the Nats’ second baseman.

New ‘dance partners’ Double-play duo of Turner and Dozier is expected to help the defense’s rhythm NATIONALS Shortstop Trea Turner and second baseman Brian Dozier are spending a lot of time together.

It began in mid-February, when they reported to spring training in West Palm Beach, Fla., shook hands in the clubhouse and, with that, officially became double-play partners.

They started to talk — a lot — to learn each other’s likes and dislikes and ticks as middle infielders. Then they would meet at 8:30 a.m. to take grounders together.

And now they are mixing in the real thing, teaming up in games, keying on the smallest details to make the Nationals’ upthe-middle defense much better than it was a year ago.

“It’s like a dance partner,”

said first base coach Tim Bogar, who also works with the team’s infielders. “With a double-play partner, you have to always be more worried about them than you are about yourself. You have to know what they are doing, how they are doing, what they like.”

Dozier, a free agent signee who finished last year with the Dodgers after six-plus seasons with the Twins, is part of the Nationals’ new emphasis on defense.

The Nats last season got subpar glove work in the middle of the field and saw that infect the defense overall.

When manager Dave Martinez justifies the defense-first approach this spring, he often reaches for a telling statistic from 2018: In 38 games played by starting second baseman Daniel

A defensive upgrade While the Nationals led the NL with a .989 fielding percentage last season, they completed just 115 double plays, the fourth fewest in the majors.

Brian Dozier, Washington’s new second baseman, won a gold glove while playing for the Twins in 2017, when he committed just five errors all season and had a .993 fielding percentage. (EXPRESS)

Murphy, Washington had just one double play go from second to shortstop to first base.

Dozier, 31, signed a one-year deal worth $9 million in January.

He should help fill the power void left by Bryce Harper, as Dozier has hit 20 or more home runs in each of the past five seasons. Yet

his defense could be even more important, specifically how well he and Turner can jell.

“It’s really just getting the feel for one another and all the aspects for everything up the middle,” said Dozier, who had always played shortstop until he transitioned to second in 2013 and won a Gold Glove four years later. “I’ve played with a lot of shortstops, and every single one of them is completely different.”

Turner, who is in his fourth full season, is confident in the new partnership.

“It shouldn’t be too, too big of a [learning] curve,” he said. “Just a spring training’s worth of ground balls. I think that would be enough to get to know anybody.” JESSE DOUGHERTY

Raiders get WR Brown for two picks The Steelers on Sunday agreed to trade receiver Antonio Brown, who had clashed with QB Ben Roethlisberger and grown dissatisfied with the team, to the Raiders. The Steelers are to receive third- and fifth-round picks in the upcoming NFL draft in exchange for Brown, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection in nine seasons in Pittsburgh.

Barring any last-minute snags, the deal will become official when the NFL’s new league year begins Wednesday.

Brown will also get the new contract he’d been seeking. The three-year deal will pay him a maximum of about $54 million and includes $30.125 million in guaranteed money.

His previous deal was to pay him about $38.9 million over the next three seasons. (TWP)

Hamid’s 90th-minute save preserves draw vs. NYCFC

Sports writer and novelist Dan Jenkins dies at 89

Just months before they will defend their World Cup title, the members of the U.S. women’s national soccer team filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer on Friday, accusing the national federation of paying lower salaries to women and subjecting them to more dangerous playing conditions than their male counterparts.

According to the suit, the men could earn an average of $263,320 for a 20-game schedule while the women could earn a maximum of $99,000. The suit also alleges that the women’s team plays too often on artificial turf, while the men rarely do. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Bill Hamid made six saves as D.C. United earned a 0-0 draw against New York City FC on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. The D.C. goalkeeper came up big late to preserve the draw, lunging to deny a 90th-minute header from Alexander Ring that looked destined for the bottom corner. NYCFC (0-0-2) outplayed United (1-0-1) for much of the match, outshooting the visitors 21-7. But it was D.C. that nearly took the lead early when NYCFC goalkeeper Sean Johnson got a hand to Luciano Acosta’s 11th-minute blast from close range. United returns to Audi Field at 8 p.m. Saturday to face Real Salt Lake (1-0-1). (EXPRESS)

Keenum’s low salary gives Redskins options It appears that the club will try to build depth, not seek a splashy star REDSKINS Case Keenum probably won’t save the Redskins. Then again, the Redskins likely aren’t expecting him to carry them to the NFC East title they thought they were going to win before Alex Smith was severely injured in November, possibly ending his career.

A s a one -ye a r renta l at $3.5 million, Keenum buys the team time to find its QB of the future while giving management freedom to strengthen the team in free agency and via the draft.

“We need to upgrade our entire roster,” coach Jay Gruden said at the NFL Scouting Combine, after running through a list of holes that touched on nearly every position except running back and defensive line.

While Gruden and others in the front office say the team is close to making the playoffs, their actions say they consider themselves more than a player or two away from being a real postseason threat.

Acquiring Keenum from Denver might not excite fans, and he is not the face the Redskins can put on a ticket-selling campaign, but his presence at a low cost allows them to spend efficiently.

The Redskins’ deal last week with Denver leaves Washington responsible for only $3.5 million of QB Case Keenum’s salary for the 2019 season.

After weeks of speculation, it appears the Redskins aren’t going to lunge for a splashy star.

They are less likely to trade up for quarterback Kyler Murray and dropped out of the running for pricey wide receiver Antonio Brown. It seems they are going to add depth that might leave their roster less vulnerable to injuries than it was the last two seasons.

The Redskins head toward Wednesday’s opening of free agency with $16.9 million of salary cap room, according to the website Over The Cap. That number can quickly rise to nearly $40 million when guard Brandon Scherff gets an expected extension and several other veterans

are released or agree to rework their deals.

A likely target in free agency is Giants safety Landon Collins, 25. He was a team captain in New York who led the Giants in tackles in the past four seasons.

He isn’t the wide-ranging safety some might value, but he is a dependable hard-hitter.

Washington also could try to re-sign its own free agents, such as receiver Jamison Crowder and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, if their markets turn out to be modest. Running back Adrian Peterson appears likely to come back, though other teams have started to show interest.

It’s the art of business These management programs train future arts administrators

GRADUATE PROGRAMS After years of working in the arts, Karen C. Garrett knew a master’s degree in arts administration would help advance her career. But she wound up seeing the impact of her graduate degree before she’d even finished it.

During the three years she spent earning her M.A. in arts administration through a limitedresidency online program at Baltimore’s Goucher College, she received a promotion at her job at the Smithsonian Institution’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Education and Access — from program manager to senior program officer — and was seen by her colleagues in a new light.

“Just the fact that I had entered into a master’s program had an impact on the way that people perceived me,” says Garrett, 53. “There was a level of

respect there, if you will.”

Garrett started her degree in 2015 during a period when interest has been growing in master’s degree programs in arts management and administration.

These programs include specialized training in nonprofit policy, arts marketing, fundraising and other topics critical to the business of art. They’re filling the need among arts businesses for greater efficiency and for leaders who understand both the arts and how to run an institution. Like in plenty of business fields, there’s a push toward transparency (thanks to things like Enron and other scandals of recent years) that requires an understanding of complex financial, legal and regulatory subject matter.

And looming retirements among the baby boomers mean a wealth of opportunities for upand-coming arts enthusiasts who aspire to run art galleries, theaters, head up dance companies or lead arts nonprofits. “ We a re on the cusp of

“There’s been an increase in local cities having cultural plans and thinking through the impact of the arts on their economies.”

enormous leadership changes in the arts in the United States,” says Ramona Baker, academic director for Goucher’s arts administration master’s program.

“Literally every day I see someone else who is stepping down, and we have people who want to be able to step up into those positions.”

A growing focus on the arts at the local government level is also helping to drive interest

in these master’s programs.

“There’s been an increase in local cities having cultural plans and thinking through the impact of the arts on their economies,” says Aimee Fullman, program director for the arts management program at George Mason University, which offers an M.A. in arts management and dual M.A. in arts management and art history. “Those are the areas creating new positions every day for arts managers. The field is really growing in new ways.”

Arts management master’s programs in the greater Washington area tend to draw three types of students: recent college graduates who majored in arts-related fields, folks with several years of experience in the arts who want to give their careers a push to the next level, and students looking to change careers. Many of the programs are offered exclusively online or with online, hybrid, and parttime options that allow students CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Defaulted loans go uncollected?

A contractor for the Education Department is suing the federal agency, alleging that billions of dollars in defaulted student loans go uncollected.

The allegation stems from the department’s move in 2016 to reduce the number of private companies involved in recouping past-due loan payments. The department announced last year it would fold that debt collection into the work of loan servicers, who already help borrowers falling behind on their debt.

That overhaul, called the Next Generation Financial Services Environment, or NextGen, is the subject of a lawsuit filed last month in federal claims court by FMS Investment, one of the private agencies that collects loans for the department. FMS claims that discontinuing its services is illegal, and that loan servicers will be unable to recoup all of its defaulted loans.

to continue working — a major plus, considering that the arts aren’t known for being an especially lucrative field.

“Our philosophy is that there’s nothing that can’t really be done online at this point,” says David Edelman, director of the performing arts leadership and management program at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va., which offers a fully online M.S. degree. “When students come out of this program, they will find that their indebtedness is not what you typically hear of with other kinds of programs and is the kind of thing they can manage, even at the traditionally lower salaries you find in the nonprofit sector.”

The impact of the degree can be measured on several levels.

Because these programs strive to offer diversity in terms of both subject matter covered and the students and faculty who are part of the programs, graduates develop a broader perspective of different areas of the arts, which they can apply in a variety of positions and fields. Graduates go on to work at museums, theater and dance companies, arts centers and councils, symphonies and operas, and private foundations. Some even start their own galleries or arts nonprofits.

“We want to recruit someone who is ready to be shot out of a cannon and lead something,” says Ximena Varela, director of the arts management program at American University, which offers an M.A. and certificate

Study with Purpose The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced

International Studies (SAIS) develops leaders who seek a deeper understanding of how politics, economics, and international relations drive global change.

“We want to recruit someone who is ready to be shot out of a cannon and lead something,” XIMENA VARELA, of American University, describing the kind of candidates who would be a good fit for the arts management program

in arts management. “And to have access to medium- to highlevel arts management positions sooner, you do need an arts management degree. We don’t place anyone in entry-level positions.”

Graduates of the American program have gone on to work at such institutions as the Cleveland Orchestra, the Dance Institute

of Washington and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Students who earn the degree while working full time often find themselves immediately applying what they learn in class at their jobs. “No graduate program can tell you the answer to how to respond in every situation you’re going to encounter for the next 20 years,” says Baker. “But learning the skills to be able to figure it out and problem-solve is incredibly important.”

Garrett says: “There was a sense of overall confidence that for me was the most tangible impact. It wasn’t that the subjects I was learning about were necessarily new to me. But the degree put in a better context what it was that I knew and what I could improve on.” BETH LUBERECKI (FOR EXPRESS)

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘Project Runway’ 8 p.m. Thursday on Bravo

Heart without darkness ‘Now Apocalypse’ is too focused on sex to deliver the cataclysm its title promises

TV REVIEW The modern manners of sexual fluidity get a rigorous workout in filmmaker Gregg Araki’s series “Now Apocalypse,” which premiered Sunday on Starz.

It’s a half-hour mashup of millennial relationship shenanigans interrupted by the suggestion that the world will soon be overrun by libidinous lizard monsters who find humans good, giving and game. Weird as it wants to be (and therefore tonally inconsistent), the show is what you might get if a sex columnist were forced to write the screenplay for a cheap sci-fi flick.

Avan Jogia stars as Ulysses, an unmotivated but gorgeous young man in Los Angeles, who fills his days with existential shiftlessness

and sex (or the pursuit of it), while his nights, when not also occupied by sex, are filled with dreams of disturbingly prescient images. “I do s--- sometimes and I really don’t know why,” Ulysses tells the viewer, in narration. “To avoid boredom, I guess? To feel alive?” The emptiness of that selfcharacterization is classic Araki, where alienation is a default pose.

Ulysses’ best friend Carly (Kelli Berglund) thinks he may be taking too many puffs off his cannabis pen; she’s an underemployed actor who gets by performing sex acts on her laptop for pervy customers. His longtime roommate Ford (Beau Mirchoff) is a gym hunk deep in puppy love with a frosty, Frenchy astrobiological theorist named

$153M

Staying true to form At 59, filmmaker Gregg Araki’s no spring chicken. But with “Now Apocalypse,” he does stick to the vision he set out with in the 1990s, when his provocative indie films (“The Living End,” “The Doom Generation”) were hailed as examples of “new queer cinema.”

This series is, in a way, the fuller expression of that Araki ideal. H.S.

Severine (Roxane Mesquida).

Much of the first half of the story is squandered on the basic banter of beautiful people, shot through Araki’s Skittle-colored visual style and hipster sensibilities. They’re all trapped in an excruciatingly cool Spotify playlist;

the only way out, it seems, is through near-constant sex.

Araki’s libertines are fun to follow as they romp and revolve, but what happens to them seems a little too shallow, too prolonged and too low-stakes. Perhaps Araki is saving the really trippy stuff for “Now Apocalypse’s” back half (five of the season’s 10 episodes were made available to critics), where one hopes that the pace will pick up.

Viewers who aren’t feeling the creator’s particular groove can’t be blamed for checking out of a show that so intentionally allows style to prevail over substance, and often forgets to check in with the apocalypse it has promised in its title. HANK STUEVER

2 STARZ

Kelli Berglund and Avan Jogia play a couple of millennials with an appetite on “Now Apocalypse.”

The fashion competition is back for a 17th season following the exits of franchise staples Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum, with Christian Siriano taking over as mentor and Karlie Kloss stepping in as host.

‘Shrill’ Friday on Hulu

Based on Lindy West’s memoir of the same name, the new comedy series follows a young journalist (“Saturday Night Live’s” Aidy Bryant) as she starts to overcome her insecurities about her weight.

BOX OFFICE HAUL

The domestic box office take for “Captain Marvel,” Marvel Studios’ first femalefronted superhero movie, according to studio estimates Sunday. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, only the “Avengers” movies, “Black Panther,” ‘’Captain America: Civil War” and “Iron Man 3” have opened better. Helmed by the filmmaking team of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, “Captain Marvel” also set a worldwide record for a movie directed or co-directed by a woman, making $455 million globally.

The makers of “Desus & Mero” are not exactly modest.

Promos for the new Showtime series (11 p.m. Thursdays) state: “Desus & Mero host the greatest show in late-night history, featuring only illustrious guests.”

That’s not totally off base.

The half-hour program, from the stars of the “Bodega Boys”

podcast and a Viceland talk show, is definitely the greatest late-night talk show in Showtime’s history because it’s the only one. And the guests are definitely illustrious, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, John Legend and Ben Stiller.

The hosts are actually named Daniel Baker (he’s Desus Nice) and Joel Martinez (The Kid Mero). They use the typical late-night format — a mix of interviews, skits and

breeze. Their hilarious “Green Book” parody is the definitive word on why “literally every black person” is not a fan of the Oscar winner. In the spoof, the Italian driver for a black musician is described as “a white man who had the courage to know a black person.”

Even though they hobnob with celebrities, the duo own up to their relative obscurity. In one segment, they chat with elementary schoolers. “If you’re famous, how come I don’t know who you are?” says one. Little child, perhaps one day soon you won’t have to ask that question!

“As a parent I think I’d be a little peeved if someone else felt the authority to take my child’s phone from them …”

A FACEBOOK COMMENTER, reacting

to author Glennon Doyle revealing that she requires her kids’ friends to give up their phones in her house. The practice had its supporters, with many saying it was a good way to get kids to reconnect. Others said it wasn’t Doyle’s role to seize the phones and that the rule could harm kids who have anxiety.

“Not only was this stolen from the fans, it was stolen from the actors too.” @IAMROBOTHEAD, tweeting about the fact that “Star Wars”

fans never got to see the characters played by Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford reunite on screen in the latest trilogy. After Hamill shared a photo of the two with the caption “What a Han/Luke reunion might have been like ... “ fans began criticizing the filmmakers for robbing Ford’s Han Solo and Hamill’s Luke Skywalker of that moment. Solo died in 2015’s “The Force Awakens” and Skywalker in 2017’s “The Last Jedi.”

“Sen. Stephanie Flowers is inspiring — and nothing and no one will ever silence her.” @MARTINA, praising the Arkansas state

senator for continuing her critique of a “stand your ground” gun law despite calls from fellow Judiciary Committee member Sen. Alan Clark to “stop talking.” Flowers, the only person of color on the committee, finished her speech on how such laws endanger minorities, then left the chamber. The law was struck down by a 4-3 vote.

“WE ARE NOT ACCESSORIES!!” @LILAKANYIVA, criticizing trainer Russell Bateman for his Kenyan retreat.

Deleted videos show the attendees, all white women, exercising while surrounded by members of the Maasai tribe. In one video, the Maasai are used as a makeshift obstacle course. The women also used traditional cloths as workout gear. Bateman apologized Saturday for the optics, which for many was reminiscent of colonialism.
