We are trying to create an environment where going to college is what Ballou does as well.” Assistant Principal Shamele Straughter said even if students do not end up enrolling in college, applying sends a message about their education options. “Now they have choice. That is the beauty of this entire thing — you get to pick,” Straughter said. “I am excited about seeing what the acceptance rate is going to be.” Sams said he never doubted that he would go to college. He is the youngest of four children in his family. While his mother is excited about all of his college offers, Sams said she also is waiting to see what will happen. He said she is mindful that one of his older brothers was also accepted into college but ended up not enrolling. “She might think that’s what I am going to do,” Sams said. But he said he will definitely enroll. “I always wanted to be a standout from the rest and not be a statistic,” Sams said. “I also wanted to prove to my family that this is what we could do.” ALEJANDRA MATOS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT Every one of the 190 seniors at Ballou High applied to college this year, a first for the longstruggling public school in a poor neighborhood of Southeast. Randy Sams, 18, applied to at least 14 colleges and said he has been accepted at 12, including Penn State and Virginia State universities. He’s waiting to hear from his top choice, Temple, a public university in Philadelphia. The deciding factor will be financial aid offers. Sams will be the first in his family to attend college. Ayanna Rouse, 18, also applied to 14 colleges. She committed to the public Radford University in Virginia. She’ll be the first in her family to attend a four-year university. Ballou ranks among the city’s lowest-performing high schools on core measures. Its graduation rate last school year, 57 percent, was second-lowest among regular schools in the D.C.

Va. governor’s race poll: Democratic contest tied VIRGINIA Former Virginia Congressman Tom Perriello is gaining ground and is tied with Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, according to a new survey released Tuesday, while Republican Ed Gillespie is expanding his lead. Perriello and Northam each drew support from 26 percent of Democratic-leaning voters in the poll by the Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University. Just under half

of those surveyed for the Democratic primary were undecided. Support for Perriello has increased 11 percentage points since the organization’s last polling on the race in late January, but remained stagnant for Northam. In the three-person GOP field, Gillespie has the support of 38 percent of Republican-leaning voters, an increase of 5 percentage points. Trailing the longtime GOP strategist are Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey

At long last, buried at Arlington

ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY | An honor guard caisson on Tuesday carries the remains of Marine Pvt. Harry K. Tye, of Orinoco, Ky., to his gravesite. He was buried with full military honors 74 years after he was killed in the Battle of Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands during World War II. His remains were found on Betio Island in 2015.

Every March, thousands of emperor penguins return to the pack ice of Antarctica to breed. Last week, after a 13-year absence, the penguins finally returned to Silver Spring. They’d been gone since 2004, when the massive mural depicting dozens of anthropomorphic penguins commuting by public transportation was removed outside the Silver Spring Metro station. The original mural was digitized and printed on thin aluminum sheets that are bonded to a polyethylene core, which have anti-graffiti coating on them. Artist Sally Callmer Thompson is delighted that her handiwork is back up after so long. “What good is a mural that’s in storage?” she said. “Nobody can see it.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The suspect was identified as El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure, 28, of no fixed address. He was charged with first-degree murder while armed and theft. At a news conference with Mayor Muriel Bowser, acting D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said Toure was wanted in Tennessee on a probation violation.

Her missing Toyota Prius was found over the weekend. A police report said that Mehiel was in her back bedroom, and that she was tied with bedding and clothing. Newsham said Mehiel and Toure did not know each other and there was no evidence that Mehiel had been sexually assaulted. The chief said authorities received “numerous tips,”

reporters at the Pentagon, the top commander of U.S. forces in Iraq said an ongoing investigation may reveal a more complicated explanation for the March 17 explosion that residents say killed at least 100 people, including the possibility that Islamic State militants rigged the building with explosives after forcing civilians inside. A r my Lt. G en . Stephen Townsend said a recent spate of civilian casualties in Mosul was “fairly predictable” given the densely populated urban

neighborhoods that ISIS fighters are defending against Iraqi government troops. But the civilian deaths cannot be attributed to any loosening of American military rules of combat, he said, and Washington hasn’t decided to tolerate greater risk of civilian casualties in U.S. airstrikes. Amnesty International on Tuesday said the rising death toll suggested the U.S.-led coalition wasn’t taking adequate precautions as it helps Iraqi forces try to retake the city.

Court blocks execution of intellectually disabled man

Lawmakers vote to extend Medicaid to 150,000

Dakota pipeline company starts putting oil through it

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Texas used the wrong standards in deciding that a death row inmate was not intellectually disabled and thus could be executed. In a 5 to 3 decision written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the court sent back the case of Bobby James Moore, who fatally shot a store clerk in a botched robbery in 1980. His appeals process has been marked by conflicting opinions on whether he is intellectually disabled. Ginsburg said the court in Texas had used outdated standards for determining intellectual disability.

Days after a Republican health care bill died in Washington, lawmakers in deep-red Kansas voted to participate in a key part of the law it was meant to replace, the Affordable Care Act. The Kansas state Senate voted 25 to 14 Tuesday to extend Medicaid eligibility to about 150,000 additional people. The measure, which passed the House last week, had the support of all the Democrats in the legislature as well as a number of newly elected moderate Republicans who campaigned on a promise to broaden the program. Gov. Sam Brownback, R, is expected by many observers to veto the bill. (TWP)

‘End to the war on coal’ President Trump moves decisively to wipe out Obama’s climate-change record House votes to repeal web privacy rules

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS (AP)

POLITICS President Trump on Tuesday took the most significant step yet in obliterating his predecessor’s environmental record, instructing federal regulators to rewrite key rules aimed at curbing U.S. carbon emissions. The sweeping executive order — which the president signed with great fanfare in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Map Room — also seeks to lift a moratorium on federal coal leasing and remove the requirement that federal officials consider the impact of climate change when making decisions. The order sends an unmistakable signal that just as President Barack Obama sought to weave climate considerations into every aspect of the federal government, Trump is hoping to rip that approach out by its roots. The president did not utter the words “climate change” once, instead emphasizing that the move would spur job creation in the fossil fuel industry. “Our administration is putting an end to the war on coal,” he said, accompanied onstage by more than a dozen coal miners, Vice President Pence and three Cabinet members. Some of the measures could take years to implement and are unlikely to alter broader economic trends that are shifting the nation’s electricity mix from coal-fired generation to natural gas and renewables. The order is silent on whether the U.S. should withdraw from the 2015 Paris climate agreement, under which it has pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emissions between 26 and 28 percent by 2025 compared to 2005 levels, because the administration remains divided on that question. The order comes after several

moves by Trump to roll back Obama-era restrictions on mining, drilling and coal- and gasburning operations. In his first two months as president, Trump has nullified a regulation barring surface-mining companies from polluting waterways and set aside a new accounting system that would have compelled coal companies and other energy firms to pay more in federal royalties. The administration also has announced it will reconsider stricter fuel-efficiency standards for cars and light trucks and has approved two major oil pipelines, Dakota Access and Keystone XL, that Obama had halted. The president thanked the miners onstage twice during the ceremony, and as they gathered around him when he signed the executive order, he looked up and remarked, “You know what it says, right? You’re going back to work.” U.S. coal jobs, which number about 75,000, have been declining

Carbon footprint An analysis by the Rhodium Group, an economic consulting firm, found that Trump’s sweeping climate executive order wouldn’t halt all climate progress; emissions would just decline at a slower rate. It found that after Trump’s action, the United States would stall at 14 percent below its 2005 emissions levels by 2025, compared to 21 percent below that mark had current Obama-era policies remained in place.

for decades. A senior administration official who briefed reporters Monday evening did not predict how many jobs might be created by this shift in policy. Environmentalists vowed to fight the executive order in court. David Doniger, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s climate and cleanair program, said unwinding the Clean Power Plan will not

happen quickly, no matter what the president wants. “Tearing the rules down require going through the same process it took to build them up,” Doniger said. “We will make them face the music at every step.” As Trump seeks to scale back federal limits on greenhouse gas emissions, states and cities are likely to take on a larger role in charting the course forward. Three West Coast governors and a handful of mayors issued a statement within minutes of the order’s signing, vowing to press ahead with their own policies to cut carbon emissions. “President Trump’s decision to ax the Clean Power Plan cedes U.S. global leadership and increases the risk that climate change will continue to damage our state,” said Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D). “We can’t afford to slow our efforts, and we won’t.” JULIET EILPERIN AND BRADY DENNIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TECHNOLOGY House Republicans voted Tuesday, by a margin of 215-205, to repeal a set of landmark privacy protections for web users, issuing a sweeping rebuke of internet policies enacted under the Obama administration. It also marks a sharp, partisan pivot toward letting internet providers such as Comcast, AT&T and Verizon collect and sell their customers’ web browsing history, location information, health data and other personal details. The measure, which was approved by a 50-48 margin in the Senate last week, now heads to President Trump, who is expected to sign it. The Federal Communications Commission rule was designed to give consumers greater control over how internet service providers share information. But critics say the rule adds costs, stifles innovation and picks winners and losers among internet companies. For example, Google doesn’t have to ask users for permission before tracking what sites they visit. Privacy advocates called the House vote “a tremendous setback for America.” “Today’s vote means that Americans will never be safe online from having their most personal details stealthily scrutinized and sold to the highest bidder,” said Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy.

POLITICS The Trump administration sought to block former acting attorney general Sally Yates from testifying to Congress in the House investigation of links between Russian officials and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, a position that is likely to further anger Democrats who have accused Republicans of trying to damage the inquiry. According to letters The Washington Post reviewed, the Justice Department notified Yates earlier this month that the administration considers a great deal of her possible testimony to be barred from discussion in a congressional hearing because the topics are covered by the presidential communication privilege. Yates and other former intelligence officials had been asked to testify before the House Intelligence Committee this week, a hearing that Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., abruptly canceled. Yates was the deputy attorney general in the final years of the Obama administration and served as the acting attorney general in the first days of the Trump administration. President Trump fired Yates in January after she ordered Justice Department lawyers not to defend his first immigration order.

The Justice Department told former acting attorney general Sally Yates that most of her testimony could be barred.

As acting attorney general, Yates played a key part in the investigation surrounding Michael Flynn, a Trump campaign aide who became national security adviser before revelations that he had discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador to the United States in late December led to his ouster. Yates and another witness at the planned hearing, former CIA director John Brennan, had made clear to government officials by Thursday that their testimony to the committee probably would contradict some statements that White House officials had made, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity. On Friday, when Yates’ lawyer

Nunes to stay on probe Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif. said he is not going to step down as chairman of the House intelligence committee investigating Russian interference in the election. Democrats say that Nunes is seen as being too close to the White House, especially after he went to the White House grounds to review secret reports. House Speaker Paul Ryan supported Nunes on Tuesday, saying that there is no need for Nunes to resign from the probe. Also Tuesday, Reuters reported that Nunes said he will not reveal who shared the secret reports with him on White House grounds. (AP/EXPRESS)

sent a letter to the White House indicating that she still wanted to testify, the hearing was canceled. During a briefing Tuesday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer denied that the White House sought to hinder Yates’ testimony. “I hope she testifies; I look forward to it,’’ he said. “To suggest in any way, shape or form that we stood in the way of that is 100 percent false.’’ Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said the panel was aware that Yates sought permission to testify from the White House. He urged that the open hearing be rescheduled and that Yates be permitted to testify “freely and openly.’’ DEVLIN BARRETT AND ADAM ENTOUS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

POLITICS The Government Accountability Office will review the costs and security precautions associated with President Trump’s travel and stays at Mar-a-Lago after a request for an inquiry from leading Democrats on Capitol Hill. The president has spent at least part of 17 days at his club in Palm Beach, Fla., flying down five times on Air Force One and requiring protection from the Secret Service, the Coast Guard and local police while in Florida. The Democratic lawmakers recently wrote to GAO chief Gene L. Dodaro, saying they were “deeply concerned” about the potential costs. On Friday, the GAO agreed to look into four areas: what measures are being used to protect classified information and provide secure communications capabilities; the type of security screening the Secret Service employs for guests and visitors; whether the fees charged to the Secret Service and Defense Department on the trips are reasonable; and whether the U.S. Treasury has received any payments resulting from profits at hotels owned and operated by the president. The White House dismissed the criticism. “The president is very clear that he works seven days a week. This is where he goes to see his family. He brings people down there. This is part of being president,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer said. JONATHAN O’CONNELL (TWP)

Chris Heisey, left, and Stephen Drew help maintain a positive vibe in the Nats’ clubhouse.

Stephen Drew and Chris Heisey add value with their attitudes as much as their bats NATIONALS Locker rooms are breeding grounds for inside jokes, some appropriate, some less so. One of the more common phrases in the Nationals’ clubhouse, however, is definitively G-rated. It started with Chris Heisey and Stephen Drew, affable staples of the bench who are also best friends. That phrase is “good kid,” and few conversations involving Heisey or Drew start any other way. “Hey, good kid!” is now a common greeting in the Nationals’ clubhouse, a perfect representation of the personalities that made the Nationals commit roster spots to Heisey and Drew by re-signing both to major league deals this winter.

Neither player seemed like impact signings when the Nationals brought them in before last year’s spring training. But both quickly emerged as clubhouse favorites, willing to help younger players and build up the downtrodden. “They’re always in a good mood. It’s great to have guys like that,” first baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. Heisey and Drew had never met before last spring training, and even when they did, they weren’t instant friends. But after hours together on the bench and in the batting cage, a bond emerged. Now, one is rarely seen without the other. Drew, 34, had never been a full-time bench player before

Power in reserve Last year, the Nationals’ bench clicked around clubhouse favorites Chris Heisey and Stephen Drew. Led by a resurgent year from Drew and some timely hits from Heisey, the club posted the fifth-best bench OPS in the NL and boasted 12 pinch-hit home runs, third-most in baseball. Drew and Heisey tied for the second-most pinch-hit home runs in baseball with three each. C.J.

last season. He asked Heisey, 32, who has the most pinch-hit home runs in baseball since 2011, for some advice. While Drew picked up pinchhitting tips, he also picked up a favorite phrase — “Hey, good

hitter!” — that Heisey learned in Cincinnati. Heisey often refers to teammates as “kid,” so eventually the phrase transformed. “It’s just caught on with everybody,” Drew said. This year, the bench will consist of Heisey, Drew, Jose Lobaton, Adam Lind, and maybe one other player. The team placed Clint Robinson on waivers Tuesday, leaving Michael A. Taylor, and Wilmer Difo in contention for the final bench spot. Now, more than ever, Heisey and Drew will be crucial contributors not only as reliable lategame options, but also as tutors to their bench colleagues — just two good kids and good friends making their presence felt.

NBA The Cavaliers lost their grip on the top seed in the East after losing 103-74 to the Spurs on Monday night — Cleveland’s second loss in a row. The Celtics, the new No. 1 seed, now have a half-game lead in the conference and, more importantly, a slightly easier road to keeping the coveted spot at the top of the standings. Starting with a game tonight against the Bucks, the Celtics have eight games remaining, all against Eastern Conference teams. That includes a matchup at home against the Cavaliers

on April 5. Cleveland has nine games remaining, also exclusively against conference opponents, starting Thursday at Chicago. Excluding the upcoming game against the Cavaliers, the Celtics will be playing opponents that average a net rating of minus-2.2. A team with similar attributes this year is the Pistons, a non-playoff team being outscored by 2.3 net points per 100 possessions. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, will be playing a remaining schedule that averages a net rating of minus-1.4, the same rating as the

GYMNASTICS Retired star gymnasts testified before Congress on Tuesday that they were sexually abused by USA Gymnastics officials. Jamie Dantzscher, a 2000 Olympic bronze medalist, and three-time national champion rhythmic gymnast Jessica Howard told the Senate Judiciary Committee of their abuses by Dr. Larry Nassar, who is in prison in Michigan and faces charges in the state and federal systems. “USA Gymnastics failed its most basic responsibility to protect the athletes,” Dantzscher said through tears. U.S. Olympic Committee official Rick Adams and Stafford County, Va., Commonwealth’s Attorney Eric Olsen also testified. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the committee chairman, criticized USA Gymnastics for declining to testify. The hearing concerns a bill that could reshape sex-abuse reporting guidelines in Olympic sports. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is co-sponsoring a bill that calls on organizations overseeing Olympic sports to immediately report sexabuse allegations to authorities. The bill and proposed changes to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act come in the aftermath of the sex abuse scandal that led to the resignation of USA Gymnastics President Steve Penny. As part of the proposed legislation, governing bodies would be required to report allegations of sexual abuse to law enforcement and train employees on how to handle situations. (AP)

Bob Dylan’s ‘Triplicate’ is a plethora of covers and familiar sounds

ALBUM REVIEW The idea of Bob Dylan becoming the keeper of Frank Sinatra’s flame would have seemed preposterous 50 years ago. Dylan was revolutionizing songwriting in a torrent of words back then, instantly making the classics sung by Sinatra another generation’s music. Parents’ music. Yet after two releases delving into songs primarily from the first half of the last century (2016’s “Fallen Angels” and 2015’s “Shadows in the Night”), Dylan doesn’t just double down on the strategy. “Triplicate,” out Friday, is, as the name implies,

ered by Sinatra. It seems like an odd direction for America’s greatest living songwriter, fresh off a Nobel Prize. Dylan hasn’t released a disc of self-penned material since 2012, and it’s worth wondering if the well has run dry. Maybe the inscrutable Dylan just likes singing these songs and wants to keep them alive. Singing is the last thing you’d expect to hear discussed on a Dylan record, yet his voice is surprisingly supple, even lovely. He reaches for, and finds, notes that you wouldn’t think possible.

Mixed messages

In a conversation published on Bob Dylan’s website with music writer and MTV executive Bill Flanagan, Dylan discussed why “Triplicate” is a three-disc set and the reason each is a mere 32 minutes long. “Thematically, [the discs] are interconnected; one is the sequel to the other and each one resolves the previous one,” Dylan said. “As far as the 32 minutes, that’s about the limit to the number of minutes on a long-playing record where the sound is most powerful.” (EXPRESS)

The songs are recorded in a hushed, intimate setting with spare backing from his longtime band, and many rest on a bed of steel guitar. They deserve to be

heard in a cabaret setting. These are songs of missed opportunities and lost love that feel right coming from a 75-year-old man. “We were young and didn’t have a care,” he sings in “Once Upon a Time.” “Where did it go?” Songs like “Stormy Weather,” “September of My Years,” “Stardust” and “Sentimental Journey” sound familiar, but others will be new to fans weaned on rock ’n’ roll. As well-performed as the material is on this album, the slower tempos allow a sense of sameness to creep in. “Triplicate” is more of a historical document than a contemporary recording, and absent a curiosity about songwriting of this era, some tedium is inevitable.

entertainment ALBUM REVIEW Aimee Mann plays to an illusory type on “Mental Illness,” debuting on Friday. It’s a serene album of delicate, mournful songs with characters walking off cliffs, stuck in holes and escaping to amusement parks. Aiming to write the “saddest, slowest, most acoustic” songs as tongue-in-cheek confirmation of her image as a peddler of gloominess, Mann succeeds all too well. Her classy melodies soothe the heavy emotional themes but, as in a Philip Marlowe film or novel, the darkness rarely dissipates.

The consistency in her depiction of frustrating or failed relationships may be a plus — but if you happen to be slightly offcenter yourself, it could tip you over. Mercifully, the songs feature mostly acoustic guitar and piano, with few of the instrumental ornaments that characterized her early solo albums with Jon Brion. Here they would have only amplified the psychosis and neurosis. On “Rollercoasters,” such

rides and Ferris wheels are tools of escapism, while “Patient Zero” quickly knocks down any illusions of fitting in and succeeding in a new environment.

And so it goes. You may feel compelled to abandon hope in the “Mental Illness” inferno. But, oh, those melodies are heavenly. PABLO GORONDI (AP)

trending “Reducing the most serious crisis to face the UK in decades to a sexist comparison puts this rag below sub literate.” @CAT5WEAVER tweeting at U.K. tabloid the Daily Mail after Tuesday’s front page featured an article on a Brexit meeting between Britain’s prime minister, Theresa May, and Scotland’s prime minister, Nicola Sturgeon, that compared their legs and used a very bad pun. The front page was widely criticized on social media as blatantly sexist. Sarah Vine, the author of the Daily Mail piece, defended the cover and her story on BBC’s “World at One,” saying it just created a “more approachable version of the story.”

“But dipping lettuce in ranch is just dipping lettuce in ranch. It’s not a salad.”

“The Jumanji movie won’t have a magical board game. Maybe the next Jurassic Park won’t have dinosaurs.”

ANNIE ALAN weighing in in the comments at buzzfeed.com on the conversation about “hand salad.” In an article and tweet Monday, food magazine Bon Appetit coined the phrase “hand salad” to describe lettuce and dip. Most people on social media who came across the idea gave it a hard “No.”

@ROMUDETH was one of many social media users who were not thrilled with the news that the “Jumanji” remake, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” will be about an old video game console, not about an old board game. “How you gonna remake Jumanji without the board game? That was the whole point of the movie,” wondered another fan, @delafro_.

Michelle uninvited from commencement speech gig

To be fair, Wiz would smoke ANYWHERE

In her cover story for Interview magazine, Michelle Pfeiffer explained that she didn’t always dream of being an actress, but came around to the career late. “What’s interesting is, there’s always a lot of talk to young people about finding their passion, following their passion,” she says. “And there’s this pressure to have one. It’s perfectly fine not to have one.” (EXPRESS)

American rapper Wiz Khalifa has stirred controversy in Colombia for posting Instagram photos of himself smoking what looks like a joint at the tomb of cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar. He also posted and deleted a photo of flowers at Escobar’s grave in Medellin. The city’s mayor, Federico Gutierrez, told the BBC that Khalifa should have brought flowers to Escobar’s victims killed during Colombia’s drug violence in the 1980s. (EXPRESS)
