NIH is studying a novel medication for rapid antidepressant response and its effect on memory & attention using neuroimaging.

NIH researchers seek currently depressed persons ages 18-55 to enroll in research studies evaluating how an FDA-approved drug, Scopolamine (for motion sickness) versus placebo can help with depression. In one study,

the drug is given intravenously over 7-sessions (inpatient or outpatient), in the other the drug is given by patch over 12 sessions (outpatient).

Participants must not be taking medications for three weeks prior to starting the study.

The studies are conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and may include brain imaging and attention and memory tasks to help understand the role of some brain chemicals in depression.

After the death of Osama bin Laden, these are five of the top al-Qaeda leaders who pose a clear and continuing threat of an attack within the U.S., according to U.S. intelligence and counterterrorist officials. (AP)

MWi^_d]jed A year after the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda is hobbled and hunted, too busy surviving for the moment to carry out another Sept. 11-style attack on U.S. soil.

But the terrorist network dreams still of payback, and U.S. counterterrorist officials warn that, in time, its offshoots may deliver.

A decade of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that has cost the U.S. about $1.28 trillion and 6,300 U.S. troops lives has forced al-Qaeda’s affiliates to regroup, from Yemen to Iraq. Bin Laden’s No. 2, Ayman alZawahri, is thought to be hiding, out of U.S. reach, in Pakistan’s mountains, just as bin Laden was for so many years.

It’s a complicated, somewhat murky picture for Americans to grasp. U.S. officials say bin Laden’s old team is all but dismantled. But they say new branches are hitting Western targets and U.S. allies overseas, and still aspire to match their parent organization’s milestone of Sept. 11, 2001.

U.S. officials speaking on condition of anonymity say al-Qaeda is less able to carry out a complex attack like

The world may never see photographic proof of Osama bin Laden’s death. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg in Washington ruled last week that the Obama administration, under the Freedom of Information Act, would not have to turn over images of bin Laden during or after the raid. “Verbal descriptions of the death and burial of Osama Bin Laden will have to suffice,” Boasberg wrote in his ruling on the lawsuit by the public interest group Judicial Watch. (AP)

Sept. 11, and they rule out al-Qaeda’s ability to attack with weapons of mass destruction in the coming year.

U.S. counterterrorist forces have killed roughly half of al-Qaeda’s top 20 leaders since the raid. That includes U.S.-born cleric Anwar alAwlaki, killed by a drone in Yemen last September, less than six months after bin Laden’s death.

Only a few of the original al-Qaeda team remain, and most of the new names on the U.S. target lists are relative unknowns, officials say.

“The last terror attack was seven years ago in London, and they haven’t had any major attacks in the U.S.,” says Peter Bergen, an al-Qaeda expert who once met bin Laden. “They are recruiting no-hopers and deadenders.” KIMBERLY DOZIER (AP)

Police investigate the scene Sunday after a van plunged over a parkway in New York.

7 Killed After Van Plunges 50 Feet Vehicle flipped over edge of highway onto Bronx Zoo property D[m Oeha An out-of-control van careered across several lanes of traffic on a New York City highway Sunday, then plunged more than 50 feet off the side of the road and landed in a ravine on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo, killing all seven people aboard, authorities said.

Three of the victims were children, fire department spokesman Jim Long said, including girls ages 12 and 10 and a younger girl whose age wasn’t known. The others were an 84-year-old man and three women, ages 80, 45 and 30.

Long didn’t name them.

The van was headed south when it bounced off the median and crossed all southbound lanes over to the guardrail, police said.

7 :Wd][heki FWj^ The van accident Sunday was the second in the past year where a car fell off the same stretch of the Bronx River Parkway. Last June, the driver of a sport utility vehicle heading north lost control and the SUV hit a divider, bounced through two lanes of traffic and fell 20 feet over a guardrail, landing on a pickup truck in a parking lot. The two people in the SUV were injured. (AP)

It likely flipped over the edge of the highway and landed nearly upside down on zoo property that’s closed to the public and far from any animal exhibits, zoo spokeswoman Mary Dixon said.

The wreck was the deadliest in New York City since March 2011, when a tour bus driver lost control and slammed into a pole that sheared the bus nearly end to end, killing 14. VERENA DOBNIK (AP)

For millions of adults like you, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a daily struggle, robbing you of the deep restful sleep you need to get through your day. Untreated OSA is also associated with an increased risk of serious health conditions, including high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Right now, sleep specialists at The Center for Sleep & Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase are conducting a research study of an investigational device for obstructive sleep apnea that may help. If you have OSA, and haven’t had lasting success with CPAP or other treatments, this study may be right for you.

C[jhe <Wh[i0 Ij_bb Jh_Yao Riders have to learn new rate system as agency raises prices

The best part of the whole deal is the elimination of the 20-cent peakof-the-peak surcharge, imposed on rail travel at the height of the morning and evening rush hours.

But the boarding charge — the basic fare — will rise from $1.95 to $2.10 during the peak periods of 5 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, and midnight to closing on weekends. After a trip of more than three miles, a distance fare kicks in, up to the maximum fare, which will increase from $5 to $5.75.

The off-peak boarding charge will rise from $1.60 to $1.70. The maximum off-peak fare will rise from $2.75 to $3.50.

Those changes are for riders using SmarTrip cards. For those using paper fare cards, a surcharge of 25 cents will rise to $1. The general manager’s original proposal suggested a flat fare for cards of $4 off-peak and $6 at peak.

Md. Court DNA Ruling Appealed Officials say decision allows criminals to go undetected by police 8Wbj_ceh[ Maryland’s top law enforcement officials are pushing back against a recent Court of Appeals decision that prohibits DNA collection from suspects charged — but not yet convicted — of violent crimes, saying the ruling will allow dangerous criminals to go undetected by authorities.

Police chiefs and prosecutors from the D.C. suburbs to Baltimore County are urging Mary-

land’s attorney general to challenge last week’s Alonzo Jay King Jr. v. State of Maryland decision, which found that swabbing criminal suspects for DNA samples after they are charged is a violation of the suspects’ constitutional rights.

center of a brewing national debate that raises the age-old question of how to balance privacy rights and public safety. Federal and state courts across the country have issued mixed opinions on when DNA collection is legal.

State authorities and officials in Prince George’s, Montgomery and Baltimore Counties said they plan to stop collecting DNA from charged suspects while they await further court action. They said they are urging Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler to file a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, hoping to overturn the state court’s ruling. MATT ZAPOTOSKY

Website: D.C. 9th in U.S. Fashion MWi^_d]jed We’ve been called called rude, ugly and over caffeinated — but no D.C. superlative has proved quite as shocking as Friday’s addition to the ever-growing list.

Washington, long derided as the land of dowdy pantsuits and Ann Taylor uniforms, was ranked among the most fashionable cities in America.

That’s right. Most. Fashionable.

No. 9 of 50, to be exact. This ranking comes courtesy of Bundle.com, which tried to determine the fash-

ion-consciousness of cities across the country based on how much their residents spent on clothing.

J^[ Wiikcfj_ed ^[h[ _i j^Wj j^[ ceij \Wi^_ed# \ehmWhZ f[efb[ Wbie if[dZ j^[ ceij ed j^[_h Ybej^[i$ The assumption here is that the most fashion-forward people also

spend the most on their clothes.

Not that we’re trying to find a hole in this research or anything.

D.C. got beat by cities including New York (2), Los Angeles (3) and Chicago (6). The No. 1 spot went to Irvine, Calif., where people spend nearly four times as much on clothing as the average American.

Buffalo, N.Y., nabbed the spot at the bottom of the list, but not without good reason, according to Bundle’s report: “With so many snow days, it’s hard to show off your threads.” M AG G I E FA Z EL I FA R D

Fairfax police say they are looking for whoever is responsible for slashing three horses in Herndon.

The horses, which are used in a nonprofit therapeutic riding program, required medical attention, but the cuts do not appear to be life-threatening.

The horses were slashed sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning at Frying Pan Farm Park.

Police say a donor has paid for the initial veterinary bills for the three horses, but the Spirit Equestrian program is accepting donations for further care. (AP)

For your friends’ big days, keep costs low by planning ahead F[hiedWb <_dWdY[ Saving money on your wedding day is easy — the courthouse couldn’t be a cheaper venue. But how do you save on the weddings of friends and colleagues?

“We found gifts, on average, run around over $100, and the cost is higher if it’s a close friend’s wedding,” said Kristin Koch, Theknot .com senior editor. “On average, people spend $75 on attire and over $300 on travel. Destination weddings can run close to $1,000.”

Experts weigh in on how to keep costs down on your friends’ big days.

Why buy a dress when you can rent it for as low as 10 percent of the cost of buying? In April, Rent the Runway launched its Weddings Boutique, which helps guests plan outfits for all the bridal events: brunches, showers, rehearsal dinners and the big day.

The company also supplies free stylists who will plan outfits based on size, style, color and occasion.

It might be tempting to stay with the bridal party, but you can almost always find a less expensive alternative a few miles away. For lodging, consider using Airbnb.com, a website that matches travelers with people willing to rent rooms or apartments on the shortterm. If traveling alone, ask the bridal party for a list of other singles who might be interested in sharing a room.

Be the first one to sign up for items on a registry, and be strategic. Choose an item you know you can find cheaper elsewhere.

There’s no rule that just because you sign up for something on a registry that you must purchase it from that store. Get the brand and size details and find it online from a discount retailer. Some stores will update the registry to show the item has been purchased.

If not, tell the bride and groom so they can update it. Going online almost always saves money.

(&&C JAHI CHIKWENDIU/TWP

After more than 10 years of planning to add 23 miles of Metro rail line in Northern Virginia, the second part of the Silver Line project could be dead before a spade of dirt is turned.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, Virginia, and Loudoun and Fairfax counties are at a stalemate over pro-union labor deals, concerns about costs and an inspector general’s investigation of the authority.

“This project will die if the stakeholders cannot get together and resolve their differences,” said Leo Schefer, head of the Washington Airports Task Force, a group of business leaders that supports the Silver Line.

If the project ever does start, it won’t start on time.

The Silver Line’s first phase, which runs through Tysons Corner to Wiehle Avenue, is now under construction and is expected to be completed in August 2013. The second phase is expected to run from Reston to Dulles International Airport and Loudoun County.

But the airports authority hasn’t been able to solicit bids yet for Phase 2, and construction was scheduled to start in January.

The biggest problem, according to Schefer and others: chest-thumping and old-fashioned politics.

“Underlying all of this is party political extremes that are being put ahead of public purpose,” said Schefer. “It’s become an emotional issue.”

Some Virginia lawmakers have said they don’t want the right-towork state to contribute $150 mil-

County, the Board of Supervisors underwent a sweeping change after the November elections. Many on the nine-member board have questions about the project’s cost.

Loudoun’s supervisors asked for an extra 30 days to decide whether they will contribute. They have until July 4.

“This has been a frustrating process,” said Tom Davis, a member of MWAA’s board. “The only logical thing we can do is see what Virginia gives us and see what Loudoun does. We really don’t have

lion to the project’s nearly $3 billion construction cost because MWAA has decided to give potential contractors a 10 percent incentive if their bids favor union labor.

Another complication is that some top players, such as Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, are headed out of office, which would leave a new set of officials to see Phase 2 through to completion.

The effects of political turnover are already being felt: In Loudoun

KdZ[h IYhkj_do The uncertainty over the Silver Line is magnified by public perceptions of Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. Many observers say they have lost confidence in the authority and accuse the board of mismanagement — the first phase of the Silver Line is estimated to be as much as $150 million over budget. DOT’s inspector general is conducting an investigation into WMAA’s management practices and transparency. The report is expected to be released this spring. “We are actively evaluating whether we can take the project over,” Virginia Transportation Secretary Sean Connaughton has said. “These guys are a disaster.” Airports authority officials warn that switching the project’s responsibility to the state would be a legal mess, but Connaughton said he believes that may outweigh the alternative. (T WP)

much choice.”

If Loudoun pulls out, it would likely mean the financing deals have to be renegotiated and other adjustments would have to be made. Many say that would be shortsighted, and Loudoun residents who travel the Dulles Toll Road would end up paying toll increases without having an easily accessible Metro line.

LaHood has called a May 2 meeting of the stakeholders to try to reach an agreement to move the project forward. Many observers say the loss of Phase 2 would have a huge impact.

“This project is too important to fail. We need cooler heads to prevail,” said Patricia Nicoson, president of the Dulles Corridor Rail Association.

“If it doesn’t go, it says something about the region,” she said.

“It says we couldn’t get it together to do a long-term rail project. That’s unthinkable to me.” DANA HEDGPETH (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Caps say they need to raise their intensity after Game 1 letdown J^[ 9Wf_jWbi There’s no doubting that there were breakdowns for the Capitals in Game 1. The bigger focus for the players after Sunday’s practice, though, was that they failed to raise their intensity level for the start of the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Rangers.

“They definitely amped up their level and we were kind of stuck in that first-round intensity, we didn’t really ramp it up,” Jay Beagle said.

“I think it’s just a mental thing.

After the game we all were sitting here and we knew it. We were like, ‘That’s not going to cut it, that’s not good enough.’ I think we’ll come back tomorrow with hopefully our best game of the playoffs and show how we can play.”

That sputtering level of energy the Capitals, who lost 3-1 on Saturday, felt on the ice was visible to those watching as well — including Capitals owner Ted Leonsis.

“I also thought we looked just

a little flat mentally and emotionally,” Leonsis wrote on his blog.

“It was almost like we had survived such a tough series against Boston. We had decompressed in a few off days and now we were trying to amp back up.”

W hile Washington played

well in the first round and won the tightest series in NHL history to knock off the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins, all it gets them is a spot in the second round. They have to keep churning forward, starting with Game 2 on Monday night.

“We just got to remind ourselves that the game’s not going to be easy. Just because we got past the first round and the Boston Bruins, it’s not going to be easy,” Karl Alzner said. “The games that we played, we had to work extremely hard to have success at that, and we didn’t work as hard as we did last series.”

ÉOek >Wl[ je 8[ IcWhj ed j^[ ?Y[Ê While it’s uncertain if Alexander Semin will play a game on the fourth line or if his demotion in Sunday’s practice was simply a wake-up call, coach Dale Hunter made it clear that he doesn’t want the Capitals taking retaliatory penalties against the top-seeded Rangers. Semin was whistled for two minor penalties in Game 1: a slash in the first period that negated a Washington power play and a trip in the third period as the visitors tried to build momentum in a then-tied contest.

Hunter said the Russian winger needs to control his reactions better.

“You know something, you just can’t do it,” Hunter said. “You have to be smart on the ice.” (T WP)

7:30 P.M. | CSN Monday 2ND ROUND

Joel Ward echoed that sentiment and said that the Capitals need to refocus and reload in the face of another, arguably tougher, opponent.

“I don’t know what to pinpoint, exactly what happened, but I think our desperation level wasn’t as strong as it used to be,” Ward said. “I don’t know whether we kind of collectively as a team thought that it was just going to be the same old, same series. But against a different team, it’s a bigger monster – they finished first and that was for a reason.”

A World of Difference Nene is a big reason Wizards have high hopes for next year

— JOHN WA LL , ON WHAT NENE BRINGS TO THE WIZARDS GOING FORWARD.

Wall will be entering his third season in 2012-13, and the former No. 1 overall draft pick is growing both as a leader and as a point guard. He averaged 16.3 points, 8.0 assists and 3.9 turnovers this season. Not bad, considering the coach was fired early on. And considering that his teammates included Andray Blatche, JaVale McGee and Nick Young — three players whose games never grew up.

“At times it was tough because you had guys like Nick and JaVale; they wanted the ball a lot and took a lot of shots. It’s kind of tough to find what kind of team it was with them,” Wall said. “[Now] the energy is more serious, everybody is being on time, taking things more serious, being professional about everything. We’re just interacting more as a team.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)

EVAN VUCCI/AP

Nene for President! Or at least MVP. To hear the Wizards talk, no title would be too lofty, no praise too great for the Brazilian center who played all of 11 games with the team this season.

When the final record is 20-46 — more than 25 games below .500 for the fourth-straight season — the search for silver linings has to begin somewhere. Asas the players cleared their lockers after the regular season ended, the positive thoughts started and finished with the mention of the 29-year-old center acquired at the trade deadline.

Trevor Booker: “Everybody knew they could trust Nene.”

Jordan Crawford: “Nene made it a lot easier on a lot of guys.”

Coach Randy Wittman, who might have Nene to thank for saving his job, cited the wonloss record when Nene was in the game: 7-4, including five of the six-straight victories that capped the lockout-truncated season and

Nene brought professionalism and toughness to the Wizards late this year.

made everyone feel not quite so embarrassed.

The Wizards have been through this sort of thing before — a promising finish during the season’s garbage time after the playoff chances had long ago evaporated.

They’re always hoping for a carryover into the next season.

Usually, t hey don’t get it.

Maybe this time will be different. If so, Nene will have much to do with it. And so, of course, will John Wall.

Tony Parker scored 28 points and the San Antonio Spurs won their first playoff opener in four years, beating the Utah Jazz 106-91 in Game 1 of their first-round series Sunday.

Tim Duncan added 17 points and 11 rebounds, helping the Spurs dodge another early playoff letdown. Despite boasting the No. 1 seed again, San Antonio hadn’t won a Game 1 in its last six postseason series — including the one that began a shocking first-round ouster last year.

Nats Call Up Moore To Boost the Bench The Nationals on Sunday promoted right-handed slugger Tyler Moore from Class AAA and placed veteran bench player Mark DeRosa on the disabled list. Moore, 25, began playing left field recently but has played only first base throughout his career.

Most importantly, he could provide a power threat off the bench.

Moore has consistently become one of the Nationals’ best slugging prospects since they drafted him in the 16th round in 2008 out of Mississippi. He has hit 69 home runs since the start of 2010, including

seven this year, the most in the entire organization. In 22 games at Syracuse, Moore slugged .597.

Moore started Sunday against the Dodgers and got his first bigleague hit after he was a late substitution for Jayson Werth.

DeRosa will receive an MRI Monday in Washington to examine a strained left oblique. DeRosa won the opening day left-field position with a blistering spring training, but he began the year batting .081, in a 3-for-37 rut. “It’s a great start to the year for the Nationals,” DeRosa said. “A horrible start for me.” (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Hollywood and Washington went on a romantic date Saturday night in the basement ballroom of the Washington Hilton, where more than 2,000 politicians, celebrities, journalists and hangers-on dined on crabmeat terrine and chocolate truffles and belly-laughed at remarks delivered

by President Obama and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel during the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

“Last year at this time — in fact, on this very weekend — we finally delivered justice to one of the world’s most notorious individuals,” Obama said during his after-dinner speech, seeming to allude to the killing of Osama bin Laden. But then a photo of an orange-faced Donald Trump flashed on giant screens in the ballroom. Punch line delivered.

Both Obama and Kimmel took their own shots at presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

“It’s great to be here this evening in the vast, magnificent Hilton ballroom,” Obama said, “or what Mitt Romney would call ‘a little fixer-upper.’”

Said Kimmel: “When I think ‘Mitt Romney,’ I don’t think Etch A Sketch — I think of Twister. You can’t even play

7c[h_YWÊi ;dj[hjW_d[h ?d 9^_[\ Since last year’s dinner, President Obama has burnished his credentials as an entertainer in chief. He slow-jammed the news on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.”

He sang Al Green at the Apollo Theater. He is, after all, counting on Hollywood to funnel money into his re-election campaign. (“I’m going to need you,” Obama told a crowd of 1,000 Tinseltowners at a $38,500-a-plate Los Angeles dinner in February.) “He could probably be a comedian himself if he wanted to,” Jimmy Kimmel told C-SPAN on Sunday. (T WP)

Monopoly with him, because he keeps putting the dog on the car.”

Off the dais, elites mingled with elites. Kate Hudson was next to former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Sofia Vergara of “Modern Family” and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) cracked each other up and posed for photos together.

The dinner is perhaps the only venue on the planet where erstwhile presidential candidate Rick Santorum would snap a photo of eternally addled starlet Lindsay Lohan. Which he did. Lohan, whose date appeared to be her attorney, sat at Fox News’ table (No. 63) with Kim Kardashian, who’s famous because the media keeps her famous.

“I have the nuclear codes,” Obama said in a voice-over that lampooned his hot-mike moment with Dmitri Medvedev this month. “What am doing telling knock-knock jokes to Kim Kardashian?”

The yearly dinner is an opportunity for elected officials to momentarily ignore the business of the people, for journalists to pretend they’re stars, for the 1 percent to use secondrate California chardonnay to cleanse their palate of the aggravations of the real world: the deteriorating situation in Syria, for example, and the slowing of both U.S. economic growth and the country’s personal saving rate.

All was bubbly at the Hilton, and pundits and politicians seemed to drop their adversarial role-playing — an act that keeps them on air or in office — in favor of buddy-buddiness.

Last year, Obama delivered his wellreceived speech after approving the mission to kill bin Laden (but before the rest of the world knew about it).

This year, the man who planned that mission, Vice Adm. William McRaven, was virtually ignored at table No. 46, his medals mounted on his tuxedo jacket, as Kardashian, Lohan and George Clooney were mobbed across the room.

— SAMUEL CHAMBERLAIN AT DC.SBNATION.COM pays mock homage to the guy at Dodgers Stadium who made it on camera with his backside exposed as the Nationals phenom marked his milestone Saturday night.

“Justice too long delayed is justice denied. As protesters often put it: ‘no justice, no peace.’ Sometimes, I wonder if some of us really understand what that means. With the L.A. riots now 20 years behind us and the [Trayvon] Martin case before us, it is a good time to consider those words afresh, consider them in light of our noble ideals and too-frequent failings, consider them as if it were you, looking for recourse after justice failed you — again.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) There is more going on today than you may understand, but if you follow the instructions given to you, you will surely come out on top.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the time for you to make demands; rather, any requests you make will have to be properly timed and worded. Use extra care.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The future is in your hands today, if only for a few precious moments. You must not underestimate the power of a well-timed decision.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may have to negotiate carefully with a rival in order to put yourself in a position that is not insurmountable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may have to ask around before someone you trust is willing to do you a favor. Once this is done, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be off and running.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Expect something easy to take a long time today, not because you are ill prepared, but due to external circumstances.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may be tempted to explain yourself in situations that require no explanation. Your best choice is to keep your words to a minimum.
