Upstate New York winter slowly drives woman to madness

Duh, who WOULDN’T be happy to have a baby albino penguin?!

Three years at war officially very similar to attending high school

A Greece, N.Y., woman knitted a suit from more than 300 plastic grocery bags. Rosa Ferrigno, 75, spent the winter knitting a skirt and jacket from bags cut in thin strips and tied together to make yarn. She lined it with cotton fabric. The outfit is chic, with a tweedy look from green printing on the brown bags. Last summer, Ferrigno saw a purse made from plastic bags and started her own projects, making two purses before the suit. (AP)

An extremely rare albino penguin has debuted at Poland’s Gdansk Zoo. It hatched in December and has been under veterinary care. Zoo director Michal Targowski said Friday that in the wild, the albino penguin “would have become the very first to be attacked by predators.” It needs special care, as its lack of black pigment makes it prone to disease.

Targowski said his team was astonished but “incredibly happy” to have an albino penguin. (AP)

Snow enlisted in the Navy in 1943 and was honorably discharged three years later. Rep. James McGovern and St. John’s worked to award Snow’s diploma to honor his service. (AP)

A surprise school makeover Female veterans complete their project with military precision SMITHSONIAN EVELYN HOCKSTEIN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT When the children at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary in Southeast Washington left school on Friday, they had no idea what would happen there before their return today.

But on Saturday, 150 volunteers stormed into the empty building with the efficiency of a military platoon and got to work.

They painted the drab brown linoleum-tiled stairwells red, blue and yellow. Created murals. Planted flowers in front of the school. Built Ikea furniture to revamp the teachers lounge.

The volunteers completed their mission in a single afternoon.

“They are going to be so surprised and really excited,” said Angel Hunter, the principal of King Elementary, which serves about 380 students in preschool through fifth grade. “It boosts teacher and student morale.”

About 80 female veterans led the efforts in the Congress Heights neighborhood of Washington. Some of them were locals and others traveled to the

District to attend the Women Veterans Summit — an annual conference that trains veterans to be leaders and activists in their communities. The summit was hosted by The Mission Continues, a nonprofit organization that connects veterans with their communities through service.

Jacqueline Clayton, a member of the Mississippi Army National Guard who is stationed at the Pentagon, said she views volunteering as an integral part of her identity as a service member.

“The passion for service doesn’t stop when we get out of the military,” she said.

The volunteers lined the multiple staircases, painting each stair a bright color so when the students walk up and down it will look like a rainbow. They even purchased a divider to install in the large cafeteria so the P.E. teacher can lead class without interrupting students who are eating lunch.

One woman swiftly painted a mural of the Chesapeake Bay

in the library — a request from school staff members who said the students were learning about the watershed.

The volunteers also left surprises for the students to discover. The children will find positive messages from the veterans written on sticky notes and attached to the mirrors above the sinks in the restrooms.

“There is always, always something to be thankful for,” says a message on a bright pink note.

Unseen photo of Tubman goes on view For a week starting today, a previously unseen photo of a young Harriet Tubman will be on display in the entry hall of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. The museum acquired the photo of the abolitionist two years ago in an album of photos from the 1860s. The album once belonged to Emily Howland, a Quaker schoolteacher who taught in Arlington.

The Tubman picture will be moved to the “Slavery and Freedom” exhibit after Sunday. (EXPRESS)

D.C. pothole troubles deepen

ALEXANDRIA

Manning supporters seek her release from solitary

THE DISTRICT At the intersection of Fourth and K streets NW earlier this month, a road crew filled a pothole that had caused headaches for motorists since it was reported days before. Minutes later, the eroded, crumbling patch of road was mended, and the crew moved on.

Next stop: the 200 block of Independence Avenue SW for a report of another uneven road.

Then D and First streets SE. Another half-hour, another pothole.

There was no shortage of options. The District received 280 pothole complaints that day, each vying for the attention of road crews dispatched to an increasing number of cratered roads.

Potholes have struck the region particularly hard this year, according to a Washington Post analysis of about 20,000 pothole complaints logged by residents over the past five years. The increase has meant delays for frustrated motorists waiting on crews to smooth the affected streets.

The city received more than 7,000 pothole complaints from January to mid-March, the most for that time span since at least 2015. The number is double what the city had received by this time in 2018, and almost four times more than this point in 2017.

According to data from the DC311 system — which allows residents to request city services — work crews are taking longer

ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Over 7,000 complaints in 2019, double total in same period last year

So far this year, D.C. road crews have filled more than 22,600 potholes around the city.

to get to a given pothole, often exceeding the District Department of Transportation’s goals.

DDOT aims to repair potholes within three business days of receiving a complaint. On average, repairs are taking more than eight business days this year, according to the analysis of city data.

But the number of complaints made by residents represents only a portion of the city’s potholes. As of Thursday, the city had filled 22,624 potholes this year, according to DDOT figures. The agency has started concentrating crews in a single ward each day to shorten drive times between repair sites.

pothole-related vehicle damage.

AAA Mid-Atlantic reported that about half a million potholerelated insurance claims are

filed annually.

“Back in Wisconsin, locals will say that the roads there are really bad,” said Anna Schuttenhelm, who moved to D.C. last year from Wisconsin. “Those roads seem perfect compared to ones I’ve experienced here.”

The Virginia Department of Transportation also reported that service requests doubled this year from the same time last year — from 2,140 to 4,446. Maryland’s pothole complaints leaped from 1,300 to 2,024 in the same period.

Starting today, Virginia officials will begin a “pothole blitz,” devoting staff to work overtime to fix potholes within 48 hours of receiving repair requests on state-maintained roads.

Teen charged with making racist threats against students that closed schools in Charlottesville

Supporters of Chelsea Manning have called for her release from prolonged solitary confinement at an Alexandria jail, but an official disputes that she’s being held in those conditions. Former Army intelligence analyst Manning was sent to jail March 8 for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks.

She served years in prison for leaking troves of classified U.S. documents. Sheriff Dana Lawhorne said the facility does not have solitary confinement but uses “administrative segregation,” and that inmates have access to visits, books and recreation. (AP) VIRGINIA

Gov. Northam vetoes switchblade legislation Would-be makers of switchblades in Virginia are out of luck. Gov. Ralph Northam said Thursday he has vetoed legislation that would allow people to make and sell switchblades to outof-state buyers. Current law prohibits Virginians from owning switchblades, throwing stars and brass knuckles. Republican-led attempts to overturn the law in past years have failed. This year, the GOP-led General Assembly passed legislation exempting switchblade makers whose knives are “shipped to any person outside the commonwealth.” (AP) BALTIMORE

Jury sides with city’s lead attorney over firing A jury has found that the Baltimore state’s attorney did not illegally fire a prosecutor over politics.

Jurors deliberated Friday before deciding State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby did not fire Keri Borzilleri over politics in 2015. Borzilleri had sued Mosby, claiming she was fired in retribution for supporting the political campaign of former State’s Attorney Gregg Bernstein. Mosby testified that she fired Borzilleri because of her terse treatment of victims and witnesses. (AP)

Feds no longer pursuing inaugural protest cases THE DISTRICT More than two years after the mass arrest of protesters at President Trump’s inauguration, two federal prosecutors walked into a D.C. courtroom earlier this month in a little-noticed hearing and told a judge that their investigation had ended and they would no longer pursue any of the cases.

The cases began with one of the most sweeping arrest actions ever in the nation’s capital.

Authorities said rioters caused about $100,000 in property damage across 16 blocks downtown.

In all, 234 people were arrested and charged in the Inauguration Day rioting. Of them, 21 defendants pleaded guilty before trial — the only convictions arising from the arrests.

“This was an incredibly reckless prosecution, completely unnecessary from the get-go.”

ROY L. AUSTIN, an attorney for one of the defendants on trial in D.C. for inauguration day violence in 2017

A handful of defendants went to trial, which resulted in acquittals or hung juries. Other cases were dropped gradually.

Defense attorneys argued from the start that prosecutors were overreaching. They said their

clients were lawfully protesting and being blamed for the actions of a small group of vandals.

The challenges for the prosecution soon became clear as the defendants were split into groups of six for trial. In two trials, juries agreed with the defense attorneys and the government was unable to secure convictions. Jurors would later say they found that the defendants had participated in the protests but no evidence that those defendants were involved in the vandalism.

Within months, the cases unraveled further and federal prosecutors began dismissing them.

By last summer, charges against the remaining defendants were dropped. KEITH L. ALEXANDER

Norwegian cruise ends in helicopter evacuation

White ex-cop acquitted in killing of black teen

Ship carrying 1,373 had engine troubles amid turbulent waves

TRANSIT MILESTONE

Gridlocked Jakarta opens first subway

CHC HELICOPTERS VIA AP

NORWAY Rodney Horgen recalled the moment he thought he was facing the end: when a huge wave crashed through the Viking Sky cruise ship’s glass doors and swept his wife 30 feet across the floor.

Horgen, 62, of Minnesota, was visiting Norway on a dream pilgrimage to his ancestral homeland when the luxury cruise quickly turned into a nightmare.

The Viking Sky was carrying 1,373 passengers and crew, going from Norway’s Arctic north to the southern city of Stavanger, when it had engine trouble along Norway’s rough, frigid western coast. Struggling in heavy seas to avoid being dashed on the rocky coast, the ship issued a mayday call Saturday afternoon.

Photos posted on social media showed the ship listing from side to side and furniture smashing violently into the ship’s walls.

The hands and faces of fellow passengers were cut and bleeding from the shattered glass, Horgen said.

An experienced fisherman, Horgen said he had never encountered such rough conditions.

“I did not have a lot of hope.

I knew how cold that water was and where we were and the waves and everything. You would

not last very long,” he said. “That was very, very frightening.”

Hundreds of passengers were winched one by one off the heaving ship by helicopter, as winds howled around them in the dark of night. Waves up to 26 feet high were smacking into the ship, making it impossible to evacuate anyone by boat.

Norway’s Joint Rescue Coordination Center stepped in, sending in five helicopters. The airlift evacuation went all through the night and into Sunday morning.

In all, 479 passengers were airlifted to land, leaving 436 passengers and 458 crew members onboard.

Einar Knudsen of Norway’s Joint Rescue Coordination Center said the airlift was halted when the captain decided before noon Sunday to try to bring the cruise ship to the Norwegian port of Molde on its own engines. The Viking Sky finally docked late Sunday afternoon, said Viking Ocean Cruises, the company that owns and operates the ship.

The cruise ship company said 20 people were injured and received treatment.

Indonesia’s long-awaited first subway opened Sunday in the country’s capital with the aim of relieving crippling traffic gridlock in Southeast Asia’s biggest economy.

Minutes after inaugurating the 10-mile transit line running south from Jakarta’s downtown, President Joko Widodo, above, presided over a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of the second phase: a 5-mile northward line planned for completion by 2024. The two projects are being built at a cost of $2.6 billion. “Today we will begin a new civilization by operating the first phase of mass rapid transit in Jakarta,” Widodo said at the inauguration. The line that opened Sunday includes seven elevated and six underground stations. (AP)

Other major airlines also say they’re working to add non-binary gender booking options. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

AG: Probe found no collusion

On obstruction, Nadler says it’s up to Congress

Mueller drew no conclusion on question of obstruction of justice, Barr says saying Barr’s letter raises as many questions as it answers, including about his decision not to prosecute Barr on possible obstruction. “Given Mr. Barr’s public record of bias against the special counsel’s inquiry, he is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report,” they said.

The Justice Department summary sets up a battle between Barr and Democrats, who called for Mueller’s full report to be released and vowed to press on with their own investigation.

For Trump, Barr’s report was a victory on a question that has hung over his presidency from the start: Did his campaign work with Russia to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton?

Still, Mueller’s investigation left open the question of whether Trump obstructed justice by firing FBI Director James Comey and drafting an incomplete explanation about his son’s meeting with a Russian lawyer during the campaign. That left it to the attorney general to decide.

After consulting with other department officials, Barr said he and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, determined the evidence “is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an

operatives among them. The probe illuminated Russia’s assault on the American political system, painted the Trump campaign as eager to exploit the release of hacked Democratic emails to hurt Hillary Clinton and exposed lies by Trump aides aimed at covering up their Russia-related contacts.

Barr said that Mueller “thoroughly” investigated the question of whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia’s election interference, issuing more than 2,800 subpoenas, obtaining nearly 500 search warrants and interviewing 500 witnesses.

However, Mueller was not able to interview Trump in person.

In the letter, Barr said he concluded that none of Trump’s actions constituted a federal crime that prosecutors could prove in court. ERIC TUCKER, MICHAEL BALSAMO, CHAD DAY AND JULIE PACE (AP)

(THE WASHINGTON POST)

CLIFF OWEN (AP)

POLITICS The Justice Department declared Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s long investigation did not find evidence that President Trump’s campaign “conspired or coordinated” with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election, setting off celebrations of vindication by Trump and his supporters. Mueller also investigated whether Trump obstructed justice but did not come to a definitive answer.

In a four-page letter to Congress, Attorney General William Barr quoted Mueller’s report as stating it “does not exonerate” the president on obstruction.

Instead, Barr said, it “sets out evidence on both sides of the question.”

Trump, in Florida, said the report proved “there was no collusion,” as he has contended for many months, and declared the findings “a complete and total exoneration.” He also claimed it showed there was no obstruction.

Barr released his summary of Mueller’s report Sunday afternoon. Mueller wrapped up his investigation on Friday with no new indictments, bringing to a close a probe that has shadowed Trump for nearly two years.

But the broader fight is not over. Congress’ top Democrats, Chuck Schumer of New York in the Senate and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, put out a statement

POLITICS Democrats on Sunday immediately seized on special counsel Robert Mueller’s refusal to exonerate President Trump on the question of obstruction of justice, with the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee pledging to pick up where investigators left off and call Attorney General William Barr to testify.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., whose panel has jurisdiction over impeachment, took to Twitter to highlight Mueller’s finding that “while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

Nadler said the statement suggests Justice Department officials are “putting matters squarely in Congress’ court” to continue to investigate. He also tweeted that Congress will be calling Barr to testify before the House Judiciary Committee in the “near future.”

Mueller submitted a confidential report Friday to Barr, who gave congressional leaders a four-page summary of Mueller’s “principal conclusions” on Sunday.

House Democrats, who have faced resistance from the White House to their repeated requests for documents, said Sunday that they will proceed with their multiple investigations while insisting that they need to see Mueller’s full report and the underlying documents.

Special counsel Robert Mueller departs St. John’s Episcopal Church, across from the White House, after attending a service on Sunday.

Mark Takano, D-Calif., the chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee. “The American people deserve to see the whole thing.” (AP)

Cyclone toll tops 750; disease is new challenge Cyclone Idai’s death toll has risen above 750 in the three southern African countries hit 10 days ago by the storm. In Mozambique, the number of dead has risen to 446, while there are 259 dead in Zimbabwe and at least 56 dead in Malawi. As flood waters recede and more bodies are discovered, the final death toll in Mozambique alone could be above 1,000.

U.S.-allied Syrian force declares victory over group after key battle

OGOSSOGOU, MALI MAYA ALLERUZZO (AP)

BAGHOUZ, SYRIA U.S.-backed forces declared military victory over the Islamic State group in Syria on Saturday after liberating the last pocket of territory held by the militants, marking the end of a brutal self-styled caliphate the group carved out in large parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014.

The nearly five-year war that has devastated cities and towns across north Syria and Iraq ended in Baghouz, a minor border village where the cornered militants made their last stand, under a grueling siege for weeks.

On Saturday, the Syrian Democratic Forces raised their bright yellow banner from a shellpocked house where the militants once flew their notorious black flag. Below it stretched a field shattered by the battle, pitted by trenches and bomb craters and littered with scorched tents, twisted wreckage of burned-out vehicles, unspent explosives and a few remaining corpses.

“Baghouz is free and the military victory against Daesh has been achieved,” a spokesman for the Kurdish-led SDF said, referring to ISIS in Arabic.

The fall of Baghouz brings to a close a global campaign against ISIS that raged in two countries, spanned two U.S. presidencies and saw a U.S.-led coalition unleash more than 100,000 strikes.

The campaign has left a trail of

destruction in Iraq and Syria, likely killed tens of thousands and drove hundreds of thousands from their homes.

The campaign put an end to the militants’ proto-state, which at its height four years ago was the size of Britain and home to some 8 million people. But the group still maintains a scattered presence and sleeper cells across Syria and Iraq. It’s not known whether the group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is still alive.

ISIS affiliates in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Afghanistan and other countries continue to pose a threat, and the group’s ideology has inspired so-called lone-wolf attacks that had little if any connection to its leadership.

Senior U.S. diplomat William Roebuck said the territorial defeat

of ISIS is a “critical milestone” that delivers a crushing and strategic blow to the extremist group.

But he stressed it remains a significant threat: “We still have much work to do to achieve an

enduring defeat of ISIS.” The end of the “caliphate” also marks a new phase in Syria’s civil war, now in its ninth year.

The country is carved up, with the Iranian- and Russian-backed government of President Bashar al-Assad controlling the west, center and south, the U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces holding the north and east, and Turkish allies controlling a pocket in the north.

The victory declaration sets the stage for President Trump to begin withdrawing most of the 2,000 U.S. troops there. He agreed, however, to leave a small peacekeeping force of 200 soldiers in Syria to ensure Turkey will not get into a conflict with the SDF. Turkey views the Kurdish SDF members as terrorists.

A student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School died in an “apparent suicide” on Saturday night, Coral Springs, Fla., police said, just a week after a 19-year-old survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at the school took her own life.

“Beautiful Sydney with such a bright future was taken from us way too soon,” Meadow’s brother, Hunter Pollack, wrote on Twitter.

BERLIN One of Germany’s richest families, whose company owns a controlling interest in Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Panera Bread, Pret a Manger and other well-known businesses, plans to donate millions to charity after learning about their ancestors’ support of Adolf Hitler and use of forced laborers under the Nazis, according to a report Sunday.

In a four-page story, the Bild newspaper reported that documents uncovered in Germany, France and the U.S. reveal that Albert Reimann Sr. and Albert Reimann Jr. used Russian civilians and French POWs as forced laborers.

Family spokesman Peter Harf, above, one of the managing partners of the Reimanns’ JAB Holding Company, said recent internal research confirmed Bild’s findings. “It is all correct,” he told the newspaper. “Reimann senior and Reimann junior were guilty. ... They belonged in jail.”

The father and son did not talk about the Nazi era, and the family had thought that all of the company’s connections to the Nazis had been revealed in the past, Harf said. But the younger generation commissioned a University of Munich historian in 2014 to examine the Reimann history more thoroughly.

Harf said the family will donate $11.3 million to a not-yetdetermined charity as a gesture, and once the historian’s report is complete, it will be released to the public. DAVID RISING (AP)

New Degrees Can Help Federal Workers Transition to Private Sector ith the record-setting partial government shutdown earlier this year, some federal workers may be considering a career shift into the private sector.

Success also looks different on the private side of the fence. “Federal employees and those from the armed forces tend to think in terms of mission, in terms of service,â€?

In the private sector, they need to know the competitive UVTCVGI[ 2TQĆ‚V DGEQOGU CP important component. The responsibility shifts toward shareholders and customers.â€?

To acquire that necessary mindset, “Students in UVA’s McIntire program work in teams to complete four projects with a variety of private companies and government entities, he said. Recent projects have involved working with Capital One, CarMax, Cisco, the Department of State, Horizon Industries and ServiceNow,� Grazioli said.

Organizations Have Growing Need for Expertise in Managing Security and Risk s supply chains circle the globe and new security threats emerge online and in the real world, there’s a growing need across many professions for leaders with expertise in addressing these issues.

“Cybersecurity and crisis management/homeland security are fast-growing and complex areas of law, creating a need for professionals who are able to navigate the relevant laws, regulations, guidelines, and best practices,” said Michael Vesely, professor in the Master of Science in Law program at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law. “The Crisis Management and Homeland Security program goes in-depth to train students how to structure an organization’s response to disaster, and prepares them to swiftly navigate through structures, laws, regulations, directives, best practices, and standard operating procedures.”

“We’re very interested in the big questions of war and peace, dealing with a rising China, managing tensions with Russia,” said Ellen Laipson, director of the Master’s in International Security program at the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. “We look at other issues that don’t always look like war and peace issues but are eroding security within countries, requiring countries to come up with rules to manage these issues.

These include cyber security, destabilizing effects of climate change, threats to the global supply chain, and inter-related issues of international criminal and terrorist networks.”

A Master of Arts in NGO Management at Johns Hopkins University Center for Advanced Governmental Studies The newest degree to be offered by the Center for Advanced Governmental Studies at Johns Hopkins University builds on demand from both students and the real world, said Kathy Wagner Hill, center director.

The Master of Arts in NGO Management, which officially launches later this year, builds on the center’s most popular certificate program in nonprofit management, Hill said.

“There are millions of NGOs in the world, with a lot in the United States, specifically in the D.C. area,” Hill said. “It’s work that has a global implication to it.”

Students start with core classes to learn the fundamentals of managing nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations, she said. Core courses include financial management, governance and executive leadership and a new course on NGOs in conflict zones.

As they move through the program, students can focus in one of three areas: international organizations providing humanitarian aid, project management or social enterprises, Hill said.

“The skills that people will get from this degree are transferable,” Hill said. “They know they can apply what they are learning elsewhere.”

“They need to know how to recognize opportunities to align security objectives with business goals and posture their organization for short and long-term value.”

They need to know how to recognize opportunities to align security objectives with business goals and posture their organization for shortand long-term value.”

William J. Tucker, then president of Dartmouth College, thought of his former college roommate, Edward Tuck, who had become an KPVGTPCVKQPCN ƂPCPEKGT CPF philanthropist.

More Employers Seek to Hire Talent Ready to Do Business Globally s more industries become globally focused, employers are interested in hiring talent prepared to do business internationally.

“Employers want leaders who are effective at crossborder communication and collaboration and who understand the implications of global policy,” said, Martina Leinz, director of executive education recruitment and outreach at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).

Manufacturing, logistics and marketing have long had a global focus said Anuj Mehrotra, dean of the George Washington University School of Business. Other sectors are beginning to broaden their focus to meet growing international demand.

“Certainly, in the manufacturing world, what were once small to medium domestic companies now are integrated in the global supply chain and are continually importing and exporting to build and then sell their products,” said Ellen Laipson, director of the Master’s in International Security program at the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University.

George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government Master of Arts in International Security Whether they’re interested in big-picture international security issues or specialized approaches to specific global problems, many professionals find value in the Master’s Degree in International Security program at the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University.

“There is a growing market for the degree perhaps because of a volatile global environment that draws students who want to be a part of managing international security challenges,” said Ellen Laipson, director of the program.

Students come from a variety of backgrounds, including the armed forces, with the goals of improving job security, enhancing professional development and/or accelerating their careers.

The program first exposes students to the broad perspectives of strategy and addresses how nations respond to security threats. Then students have the opportunity to pursue specific concentrations in intelligence, transnational threats and peace operations.

Students have the opportunity to take 7- to 10-day courses around the world. This spring, students travel to Mexico for a short course on The Future of U.S.-Mexico Relations.

“Hospitals now have attached suites where families can provide care and the preferred diet,” he said.

At the corporation level, some corporations, like Coca Cola, have navigated their global presence well by understanding and responding to cultural nuances around the globe.

Others, like Uber, have failed to fully understand the competitive landscape in countries like China and were unable to compete with local companies, Mehrotra said.

Non-strategic products such as social media are impacted by international policies and security as for example, the market of Facebook’s successful product expanded to include China, Laipson said.

Some professionals want to delve even deeper into international affairs, beyond a master’s degree, but want to apply that new knowledge, wisdom and experience outside of academia, Leinz said.

Big Data: Employers Want More Than Number Crunchers s big data promises big DGPGĆ‚VU VQ DWUKPGUU employers want more than skilled number crunchers. “Employers need people who can ‘speak computer,’â€? said John Straub, executive director of the University of Maryland’s Professional Master’s Degree in Economics. “But they also need people who can ‘speak human.’ Ideally they need people who can speak both.â€?

Effectively managing data to gain insight goes beyond technical skills and running statistical models, said Michael Lewis, chair of the Department of Computer Science at the College of William and Mary. The university’s Mason School of Business offers a Master of Science in Business Analytics. “It’s very easy to teach people to use the computer tools,� Lewis said. “But that’s not really understanding what’s going on.�

Employers want to hire and promote people who understand Python, statistics and economics and who also can give clear presentations and write clear memos, Straub said. “A lot of it has to do with communication—both internal and external – at their organizations,� Straub said. “The boss on most projects is usually a PhD economist or statistician. The client is usually someone without a lot of technical expertise - at least not in math, statistics, computer science, economics, or data science. The boss needs some pure computer programmers, and some great analytical thinkers. But the boss also needs people who can translate between the computer programmers and the client. One recruiter

“The boss needs some pure computer programmers, and some great analytical thinkers. But the boss also needs people who can translate between the computer programmers and the client.�

John Straub, executive director of the University of Maryland’s Professional Master’s Degree in Economics.

told me that the last thing he ever wants is for one of his computer programmers to speak directly with a client.�

Data science usually means people who understand statistics, and are also adept at using computers to manage vast amounts of data, he said. “Our program approaches VJG FCVC YKVJ C OQTG URGEKĆ‚E analytical angle,â€? Straub said. “It’s not just statistics.

It’s applied economics. We’re still trying to inform public policy decisions based on the evidence in data. But we’re thinking about where the data comes from the way social scientists think - not the way statisticians think.�

Important issues to consider after analyzing data, Lewis said, include

determining whether the results be attributed to chance and what is the provenance of the data?

Discerning what to do with data and the results of data analysis takes experience and insight, he said.

For example, an online dating site noticed a strong correlation that people who said they were religious also were more tolerant of spelling and grammar errors, Lewis said. “The data shows that is true, but is it chance? Is there a connection? Someone could create a positive story that religious people are more forgiving or a negative story that they’re uneducated knuckle draggers,â€? he said. “You have to be skeptical of the results you’re getting.â€? •

Different Goals Mean Different Degrees: Alternatives to an MBA hile an MBA remains the best option for some business professionals, OCP[ QVJGTU ƂPF VJCV CPQVJGT graduate degree – outside of business or within business -better positions them to advance in their careers.

For example, leading a nongovernmental organization requires different skills than managing a business, said Kathy Wagner Hill, director of the Center for Advanced Governmental Studies at Johns Hopkins University.

Like MBA graduates, leaders in VJG RTKXCVG PQP RTQĆ‚V YQTNF FQ need to manage budgets. But they have other priorities as well, Hill said. “MBA programs tend to stay fairly focused on accounting and budgeting,â€? Hill said. “The private sector is primarily market driven. The public sector is primarily mission driven.

In public management, the fundamentals are more focused on public policy administration, RQNKE[ CPCN[UKU CPF ƂPCPEKCN management. There can be some overlap. But you need different sets of courses. In the fast-paced, changing world, it’s an ongoing process to hone these skills to remain competitive in the job market.�

For students interested in both public and private management, the Center for Advanced Governmental Studies has been offering a combined degree, the Master of Arts in Government/ MBA degree, Hill said. “We found that most of the students earning the degree were mainly interested in public management,� she said.

With that in mind, the Center ƂTUV CFFGF C /# KP 2WDNKE Management and this year is launching a new master’s degree in NGO Management.

Mid-career professionals in the Master of Liberal Arts in Management appreciate VJG ĆƒGZKDKNKV[ VQ YQTM VQYCTF their master’s degree at their own pace—taking one or two courses per semester, Spreadbury said. “Many of our students are already working in their preferred industry,â€? she said. “They are looking to deepen their expertise for career advancement. They want to gain the academic knowledge in order to contribute at a much higher level either at their existing companies or with a new employer in the same industry.â€?

Within the program, students can specialize based on their interests.

Maryland’s Mikesell piles up 3s

NCAA TOURNAMENT | SECOND ROUND

Williamson’s late drive against 7-foot-6 Fall leads to four-point play

DUKE 77, UCF 76 Zion Williamson took on 7-foot-6 Tacko Fall at the end and won, and top-seeded Duke survived Sunday when two last-ditch shots

by UCF rolled off the rim in an East Region game in Columbia, S.C. UCF junior guard Aubrey Dawkins finished with 32 points, but his tip-in try just missed, and Duke advanced with a 77-76 victory to reach the Sweet 16.

Duke’s next game will be Friday at Capital One Arena in Washington against the winner of Sunday night’s late game between Liberty and Virginia Tech.

Williamson had 32 points, including a layup over Fall with 14.4 seconds left that cut the deficit to 76-75.

Williamson was fouled on the play and missed the free throw, but RJ Barrett scored on a putback to give the Blue Devils

(31-5) the lead.

Barrett was able to shoot the putback without worrying about Fall, who had fouled out on the violation against Williamson.

Ninth-seeded UCF (24-9) had a final chance, but senior guard B.J. Taylor missed a short jumper and Dawkins failed on his tip attempt with less than 2 seconds left.

Duke got the rebound, ran out the clock and moved on to the Sweet 16 for the 27th time and the fourth time in the past five years.

Dawkins cringed at the miss.

His father, Johnny, is Central Florida’s coach. He was a Duke star in the 1980s and was a longtime assistant under coach Mike Krzyzewski.

The Duke victory means Williamson will play at least one more college game before declaring for the NBA draft. He is certain to be the No. 1 pick.

The other game Friday in the East Regional in D.C. will match third-seeded LSU, which eliminated Maryland, and secondseeded Michigan State.

North Carolina 81, Washington 59: The top seed in the Midwest Region easily advanced to the Sweet 16, and will face fifth-seeded Auburn on Friday in Kansas City, Mo. Senior forward Luke Maye had 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Tar Heels (29-6) in Columbus, Ohio, while freshman forward Nassir Little had 20

points off the bench. North Carolina had a 48-24 rebounding advantage, leading to 17 secondchance points. Ninth-seeded Washington (27-9) shot just 38 percent.

Tennessee 83, Iowa 77 (OT): The second-seeded Vols avoided one of the biggest meltdowns in NCAA Tournament history, letting a 25-point lead slip away before two-time SEC player of the year Grant Williams scored six points in overtime to help save Tennessee in the South Region in Columbus. Tennessee (31-5) heads to Louisville to play thirdseeded Purdue on Thursday. The 10th-seeded Hawkeyes finished 23-12. (AP)

If you’re watching Maryland play its second-round game tonight against UCLA in the women’s NCAA Tournament, keep an eye on 5-foot-11 guard Taylor Mikesell, the Big Ten freshman of the year. She drained four 3-pointers against Radford in the Terps’ easy first-round victory Saturday, which gave her 94 for the season, a Maryland record. The single-season mark had been held by Kristi Toliver, who had 91 in 2008-09. Third-seeded Maryland (29-4) faces a sixth seed in UCLA (21-12), which defeated No. 11 Tennessee on Saturday in College Park, site of tonight’s game at 7. ESPN will provide whip-around coverage of tonight’s women’s games.

Gronkowski, who will turn 30 on May 14, is a three-time Super Bowl champ who became one of the game’s most dominant tight ends.

BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST

Terps fall short: Jalen Smith feels Maryland’s pain There’s so much to digest about the 69-67 loss that ended Maryland’s season in the second round in Jacksonville, Fla. How and why did the Terrapins get down 15? What was coach Mark Turgeon’s transgression that led to a technical foul in the second half, two free throws that happened to coincide with the final margin? Will we ever be able to count the Maryland shots — flat-out layups, some of them — that hit one side of the rim, then the other but bounced out anyway? What if the Terps hadn’t missed five second-half free throws?

Those questions and others will hang with the Terps through the spring. They will hang there through the summer. They leave a Maryland program that once went to seven Sweet 16s in a 10-year period with one appearance in the tournament’s second weekend in the 16 years since.

“It’s a crazy game,” Turgeon said.

Did we mention that, had the sixth-seeded Terps (23-11) squeezed past the third-seeded Tigers, they would have played their Sweet 16 game at Capital One Arena? They could have taken Metro to an NCAA Tournament game.

Holtby helps Caps complete sweep of Flyers

JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Those last 30 seconds Saturday, they are Jalen Smith’s season, and the essence of college basketball at this time of year.

In one moment, all the work he put in and the confidence he sometimes misplaced joined him in the corner, staring at an open, game-tying 3-pointer.

In the next moment, the play he knew was coming — ball screen at the top of the key, with slippery LSU point guard Tremont Waters ready to drive — came right at him, just as his coaches had said it would.

Smith is 6-foot-10, every bit of it. When those final 30 seconds elapsed — half a minute in which he lived everything the NCAA Tournament has to offer — he was a puddle.

Smith made the 3-pointer.

He couldn’t stop Waters’ drive.

The former nearly made him a hero. The latter, well, it left him not only bawling on the court but falling on his sword afterward.

“I kind of felt like it was my fault. The layup was on me,” said Smith, a freshman who recently turned 19. “I should’ve been able to get it, but I didn’t.

I feel like I failed.”

Maryland’s Jalen Smith, top right, just misses blocking the game-winning layup Saturday by LSU guard Tremont Waters in the NCAA Tournament.

Smith, among others, would have crawled there.

“It’s a hard thing,” he said, almost inaudibly.

These Terps hadn’t experienced the NCAA tournament.

Now they know it all too well.

There was a lot of talk afterward about how such an experience will make the Terps closer, how they will be better prepared for such a moment a year from now.

But sophomore forward Bruno Fernando is projected to be an NBA lottery pick, so

what’s more likely is this mix won’t return.

We don’t know, either, about Smith’s future. But we do know he added something to his past on Saturday, a half of a minute in which the entirety of what March feels like could be experienced through him.

“I’ll be better because of it,” he said.

It was 30 minutes after the game. His eyes were still puffy.

Wizards, on 4-game losing streak, visit Lakers on Tuesday (10:30 p.m., TNT)

CAPITALS Washington goaltender Braden Holtby stopped 35 of 36 shots Sunday and the Capitals beat the Flyers 3-1 at Capital One Arena to avoid a three-game losing streak.

Holtby helped the Capitals kill off three of four Philadelphia power plays.

“He’s the last line of defense,” said winger Tom Wilson, who scored his 22nd goal of the season. “We’re lucky to have him.”

The victory let the Capitals sweep the season series 4-0 against the Flyers for just the second time in franchise history.

Travis Boyd and Jakub Vrana also scored for the Capitals, who guaranteed they would remain in first place in the Metropolitan Division today when they’re scheduled to visit President Trump at the White House.

Holtby is one of two current players who have said they will not attend.

Washington is trying to avoid an ill-timed slump after losing top-four defenseman Michal Kempny for an indefinite period with a lower-body injury.

With Kempny out, coach Todd Reirden mixed up his defensive pairings against the Flyers, moving All-Star John Carlson to his off side to play with fellow righty Nick Jensen.

The Capitals return to the ice Tuesday to host the Carolina Hurricanes in the first half of a home-and-home series.

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘What We Do in the Shadows’

TRAVIS M. ANDREWS | THE WASHINGTON POST

A crime against comedy: ‘Arrested’ has to call it quits Netflix revived it. The first black eye came with Season 4 in 2013, seven years after its cancellation following three seasons on Fox. Showrunner Mitchell Hurwitz attempted a radical experiment in which each episode followed one specific character and worked as a sort of puzzle. It failed miserably, earning the dismissal of critics and fans alike.

The second came with the first batch of Season 5 episodes, which dropped last May. They felt (somewhat) like a return to form, but the rollout was tainted by sexual harassment allegations against Jeffrey Tambor. The actor was dropped from Amazon’s “Transparent” but remained on “Arrested” — which led to a disastrous roundtable interview in The New York Times in which Jessica Walter accused Tambor of being verbally abusive, while the show’s male cast members defended him and, in essence, ignored Walter.

But putting all that aside for a moment, and looking only at the content of this second half

Based on the 2014 satire film of the same name, the new series from co-creators Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi follows three vampires who live in New York City as roommates.

2 ‘Hanna’ Friday on Amazon Prime

NETFLIX

The first time I watched “Arrested Development” reminds me of the first time I drank a cup of joe.

The show’s rapid-fire banter, its subtle running jokes, the bizarre ensemble of unlikable but compulsively watchable characters, and the exceedingly clever meta in-jokes peppered throughout it all made for an entirely new television experience. Like that coffee, I found the show exciting and energizing.

As any caffeine-drinker knows, however, having the right amount of coffee is key.

Too much, after all, isn’t energizing but instead leads to a dull, insistent headache.

Netflix dropped eight episodes of “Arrested Development,” forming the second half of Season 5, on March 15. Many have suggested this might be the final batch of episodes — and I pray they’re correct.

The once-adored show has fallen out of favor twice since

10 p.m. Wednesday on FX

Jessica Walter accused “Arrested Development” co-star Jeffrey Tambor of being verbally abusive on set during a New York Times interview last year.

Newcomer Esme CreedMiles stars as a young assassin on the run in this series adaptation of the 2011 film that starred Saoirse Ronan. The show’s cast also features former “The Killing” co-stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman.

3 ‘Veep’

of Season 5 — it’s still a tough hang, to put it lightly.

The show is so mired in the past that its title no longer induces chuckles but groans. Humor, of course, is always subjective. But the new episodes don’t really seem to traffic in jokes so much as nostalgia. The show’s references can also feel painfully outdated. It’s set just before the 2016 election, and the number of Hillary-is-sureto-win jokes is exhausting. But the biggest problem with the back half of Season 5 is that it’s simply not funny.

$70M

Jerry Seinfeld famously turned down the most lucrative television deal at the time to continue producing “Seinfeld,” because he never wanted to jump the shark. Hurwitz and crew should take a page from Seinfeld’s book.

“Arrested Development,” once a wonderfully layered experience, now just feels like work. It’s the embodiment of a caffeine headache — insistent, annoying and, worst of all, dull.

“Jane the Virgin” is returning for its fifth and final season (9 p.m.

Wednesday on The CW) with perhaps its most preposterous twist yet — and we’re talking about a show in which the virginal main character was mistakenly inseminated by a loopy gynecologist with the semen of the doc’s very own brother, put in

storage prior to cancer treatments that left him infertile.

The widely reported event that will shape the show’s last cycle is the return of Jane’s husband, Michael, four years after his death in the timeline of the show. That kind of shocking plot development is a staple of the telenovelas — Latin American soaps — that “Jane” both embraces and transcends.

Yet as ridiculous as the show might seem, “Jane” is at its

heart about very real human dilemmas regarding love and trust and family bonds.

Only now we have entered a dark phase in which Jane (the

effortlessly convincing Gina Rodriguez) must grapple with her roiling emotions.

But the show keeps its sly sense of humor. When one

character hides in a huge bear costume while nursing a gunshot wound, the cheekily omniscient narrator can’t help but exclaim, “That must have been unbearable.”

Also unbearable is the suspense. What happened to Michael exactly? And what will happen next? In an era of binge TV, “Jane” asks us to patiently wait seven days for the next episode rather than grant viewers immediate satisfaction.

And that gives us time to think about what this extraordinary TV show has just presented — and what it all means.

Carolina Panthers quarterback revealed on “The Late Late Show” that he’s going celibate for a month as part of a personal challenge. Many compared Newton to George Costanza of “Seinfeld,” who, in one episode, experiences a renaissance during a period of forced abstinence.

An art teacher at the school told BuzzFeed the students created everything from recycled materials, without money from the school. “People around the world are gobsmacked,” @oh_pollo tweeted about the production.

Facing criticism over her comments about two men who say they were molested as children by Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand said Saturday that she felt “nothing but sympathy” for the accusers and tweeted that she was “profoundly sorry for any pain or misunderstanding I caused.” Streisand had spoken to The Times of London about the documentary “Leaving Neverland,” in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck accused Jackson of abuse. “They were thrilled to be there,” she said. “They both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)
