Feds: Poor maintenance led to deadly Metro fire In a scathing critique, NTSB details what led to 2015 smoke incident
expressline
A portion of a busy rail corridor that has been shut down since a freight train derailed Sunday morning in Northeast Washington could reopen by this morning, CSX Transportation said Tuesday. Officials say the investigation continues, but have offered no clues into what caused the 175-car train to derail. The early Sunday wreck at Rhode Island Avenue and Ninth Street NE closed the tracks shared by Amtrak, MARC and CSX trains.
One passenger died and dozens were sickened after a Metro train filled with smoke on Jan. 12, 2015.

TRANSPORTATION A fire that caused a Metro train to fill with smoke inside a downtown tunnel last year, killing one passenger and sickening dozens, can be traced to poor maintenance and ineffective inspection practices by the city’s beleaguered transit authority, federal investigators said Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board issued its final report on the January 2015 fire at a meeting on Tuesday, placing the blame on the Metro transit authority for failing to properly install and maintain third-rail power cables, causing them to become damaged by water and other contaminants. The NTSB also faulted Metro for a lack of smoke detectors in its tunnels, for ventilation fans that didn’t work properly and for not training its employees on how to use the fans. It also blamed D.C.’s fire department and its 911 call center for delays in responding to the fire. Passengers waited on the smoke-filled train for more than 30 minutes before the first emergency responders arrived. NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart said Metro did not make meaningful safety improvements between a deadly collision in 2009 and the 2015 fire, and investigators said some of the system’s safety problems date back to its first fatal accident in 1982. The 2009 crash between two trains was the worst in Metro’s history, killing nine people. The board made several recommendations to Metro after that crash,

CSX: Tracks affected by derailed trains to reopen
“To me, this shows that WMATA, historically speaking, has had a severe learning disability.” ROBERT L. SUMWALT, a member of the National Transit Safety Board, criticizing Metro for its refusal to change after several deadly incidents
but Hart said its warnings were not heeded. “Little or no progress has been made toward building a meaningful safety culture,” Hart said, later adding: “When the NTSB finds itself issuing a continuous stream of accident reports to address the basic safety management of a single transit rail system, something is fundamentally flawed. Here, that
something is safety oversight.” Most of the facts surrounding the 2015 accident had already been made public by the NTSB. One disturbing detail that emerged at Tuesday’s meeting, however, was that Metro lacked any way to pinpoint the location of smoke or fire in the system’s tunnels and that trains full of passengers were routinely sent into tunnels to figure out where smoke was coming from. That practice has been discontinued and trains are now offloaded before operators move them into tunnels with possible smoke or fire, Metro general manager Paul Wiedefeld said Tuesday. “This just seems reprehensible,” said Bella Dinh-Zarr, the board’s vice chair. “The use of inadequately trained [Metro] employees and passengers as essentially canaries in the tunnel, that seems a very dangerous and risky practice.”

After the meeting, Hart said there was no evidence that the train in the 2015 accident was sent to investigate the source of smoke. Instead, he said, the operator continued into the tunnel despite the presence of smoke. Metro’s standard operating procedures call for all trains to be stopped after a report of smoke, investigators said. But that wasn’t done, and the train was unable to back up into the L’Enfant Plaza station in part because another train was sitting on the platform behind it. Since the 2015 fire, the U.S. Department of Transportation has temporarily granted safety oversight of Metro to the Federal Transit Administration. Hart and other NTSB members criticized that move, saying that Metro should be overseen by the Federal Railroad Administration, which has stronger enforcement powers. BEN NUCKOLS (AP)
A Virginia school board has asked the full 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review a panel’s ruling that a transgender teen must be allowed to use the boys’ restroom at school. The Gloucester County School Board argued that the case warrants a second look because it could affect schools far beyond the county. A federal judge had rejected a sex discrimination claim by a Gloucester High School student who was born female but identifies as male. In last month’s 2-1 ruling, the appeals court said schools are bound by Department of Education guidelines stating that students must be allowed to use restrooms corresponding to their gender identity.

local THE DISTRICT Authorities say a pedestrian was struck and killed by a Metrobus that was hijacked Tuesday morning in Northeast Washington. D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said a man was taken into custody at a gas station when the bus was stopped. The pedestrian who was killed was not immediately identified. She said the suspect was “violent and resistant.” The entire incident lasted less than three minutes, she said. Lanier described the event as bizarre, saying it was rare occurrence for someone to take a bus
and attack the driver. It was not immediately clear what weapon was used in the attack. The bus driver suffered nonlife-threatening injuries, but there were no injuries to passengers, according to Metro Transit Police. Dustin Sternbeck, the chief spokesman for the D.C. police, said a man boarded the bus about 10:30 a.m. in the 3800 block of Jay Street NE and stood next to the driver. At the next stop, Sternbeck said, the man attacked the driver and the passengers were able to get out the back entrance.

BAGHDAD A U.S. Navy SEAL was killed Tuesday by fire from the Islamic State group, or ISIS, outside the ISIS-held city of Mosul, and Defense Secretary Ash Carter acknowledged it as a “combat death” as the United States expands its role in the northern part of Iraq. The SEAL, who has not been identified, is the third U.S. serviceman to die while fighting in Iraq since the U.S.-led coalition launched its campaign against the Islamic State in the summer of 2014. In October, a special operations soldier was killed in
a raid on an ISIS prison in northern Iraq. In March, an American Marine was killed in an ISIS attack at a newly established U.S. base outside Mosul. Over the course of the nearly two-year U.S.-led campaign against the Islamic State group, the Pentagon has slowly expanded the American role in Iraq and increased the presence of U.S. troops. The number of troops has risen from an initial contingent of 170 to 4,087, The Washington Post reports, noting that because some operations are undisclosed, the total is likely higher. The Islamic State launched the attack on Teleskof, about 14 miles north of Mosul, just after 6 a.m., said Lt. Col. Manav Dosky,
The U.S. Navy SEAL who died in combat with ISIS in Iraq on Tuesday was an adviser to Kurdish forces.
an Iraqi Kurdish intelligence officer. The Islamic State broke through its front-line position with a barrage of armored Humvees
and bulldozers, Dosky said, and clashes killed at least three peshmerga fighters. The SEAL was among Americans advising the peshmerga during that battle. A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the incident publicly, said the American was killed with small-arms fire, suggesting that Islamic State fighters likely came within a few hundred yards of the U.S. forces. The pace of operations against ISIS is expected to pick up in the coming months as Iraqi forces prepare to retake Mosul, the country’s second-largest city, which has been in the hands of ISIS militants since 2014.

Perchlorate is used in fireworks and is a common component of rocket fuels, explosives and some fertilizers. Fireworks were a staple of the memorial during Independence Days between 1998 and 2009.

Wrong ID in Iwo Jima pic? MILITARY The Marine Corps says it has begun investigating whether it mistakenly identified one of the men shown raising the U.S. flag at Iwo Jima in one of the iconic images of World War II after two amateur history buffs began raising questions about the picture.

In November 2014, the Omaha World-Herald published an extensive story about their claims and Saturday was the first to report the Marines were

looking into the matter. Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal shot the photo on Feb. 23, 1945, on Mount Suribachi, amid an intense battle with the Japanese. Rosenthal didn’t get the names of the men,
but the photo immediately was celebrated in the U.S. and President Franklin Roosevelt told the military to identify the men. After some confusion, the Marines identified the men as John Bradley, Rene Gagnon, Ira Hayes, Harlon Block, Michael Strank and Franklin Sousley. All were Marines except Bradley, who was a Navy corpsman. After examining the famous photo along with other pictures taken that day of the men, Krelle and Foley concluded that the man identified as Bradley was actually Harold Henry Schultz, a private first class from Detroit. Bradley’s son, James Bradley, author of “Flags of our Fathers,” a best-seller about the flag-raising, told The New York Times Tuesday he now no longer believes his father was in the iconic photo.

Unneeded antibiotics: 1 in 3 New study offers first concrete numbers on dangerous glut of meds
‘Biggest Loser’ turns some into bigger gainers
JOE RAEDLE (GETTY IMAGES)
HEALTH Nearly a third of antibiotics prescribed in doctors’ offices, emergency rooms and hospitalbased clinics in the United States are not needed, according to the most in-depth study yet to examine the use and misuse of these life-saving drugs. The finding, which has implications for antibiotics’ diminished efficacy, translates to about 47 million unnecessary prescriptions given out each year to children and adults. Most are for conditions that don’t respond to antibiotics, such as colds, sore throats, bronchitis, flu and other viral illnesses. Although health officials have been warning for decades about the overuse of antibiotics and its contribution to drug-resistant bacteria, the research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Pew Charitable Trust is the first to quantify the problem’s depth. “We’ve all been hearing, ‘This is a problem, this is problem,’ and we all understood the general concept that there is a lot of antibiotic use,” said David Hyun, a senior officer with Pew’s antibiotic resistance project and one of the authors of the report published Tuesday in JAMA. Pew published a companion report. “Why this study is so important: It actually provides
A study in JAMA finds that 47 million unnecessary antibiotics prescriptions are given out each year in the U.S.
Key findings About 13 percent of all outpatient visits in the U.S. result in a prescription for antibiotics. More than four in 10 of antibiotic prescriptions are written to treat acute respiratory conditions, such as sinus infections, sore throats, colds, bronchitis, asthma, allergies, flu, and pneumonia. Half of these prescriptions are unnecessary because many are for viral illnesses. (TWP)
concrete numbers,” Hyun said. The study analyzed data for all antibiotic use in the three settings as collected from two major CDC surveys from 2010 to 2011.
Those prescriptions represent the majority of dollars spent on antibiotics in the United States. Doctors often wind up prescribing antibiotics because of pressure from patients or parents, said Katherine FlemingDutra, a CDC medical epidemiologist and report’s lead author. “Clinicians are concerned about patient satisfaction and the patient demand for antibiotics,” she said. But the majority of individuals do trust their doctors to make the right diagnosis, and better communication by doctors about the dangers of antibiotic overuse can lead to more appropriate prescribing, she said. An editorial in JAMA noted
that the numbers likely are an undercount because they don’t include all scenarios, such as times antibiotics are given when patients talk to doctors’ offices over the phone and prescriptions written by nurse practitioners. The overuse of antibiotics has led to the frightening rise of drug-resistant superbugs. Last year, the White House announced an aggressive plan to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which already cause an estimated 2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths every year just in the United States. The administration set a target of reducing inappropriate antibiotic use in outpatient settings by half by 2020. LENA H. SUN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

HEALTH A new study finds that many competitors on NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” leave the show with a slower metabolism, making it more difficult to keep off the pounds. The National Institutes of Health study finds participants come out of the weight-loss reality competition burning about 500 fewer calories a day than expected, and the contestants who drop the most weight see the greatest slowing of their metabolisms. Researchers say many contestants experience substantial weight gain in the years after the show. Lead author Kevin Hall, a researcher with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, said 500 calories is the size of a big lunch and the results mean participants have to reduce their daily calorie intake by that much to avoid gaining weight. He said the study doesn’t mean dieting is a lost cause but that show participants must change their lifestyles to fight weight gain. The news isn’t all bad for “Biggest Loser” competitors, however. The study notes that participants have been quite successful at long-term weight loss when compared to people in other intervention programs. The study, published this month in the journal Obesity, involved 14 contestants from Season 8 who were evaluated six years after the competition ended in 2009. LINDSEY TANNER (AP)

Talc lawsuit wins $55M
THREE POINTERS
One key to success
Johnson & Johnson has been ordered to pay $55 million to a woman who claims its talcum powder caused her ovarian cancer, the second such judgment against the manufacturer in three months. The ruling in St. Louis late Monday comes amid ongoing debate about the link between

Mined from soil, talc is used in such products as baby powder. Lawsuits have linked talcum powder to ovarian cancer.
The body powder
The risks
What’s next
The jury deliberated eight hours Monday before ordering Johnson & Johnson to pay $55 million to a South Dakota woman, Gloria Ristesund, who blamed her ovarian cancer on years of talcum powder use. The ruling follows a $72 million award in February from another St. Louis jury to the family of an Alabama woman who died from ovarian cancer after using talcum powder for decades.
Talc is naturally occurring, mined from soil and composed of magnesium, silicon, oxygen and hydrogen. It’s widely used in cosmetics and personal care products, such as talcum powder, to absorb moisture, prevent caking and improve the product’s feel. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies genital use of talc-based body powder as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”
Jim Onder, attorney for plaintiffs in both cases, said researchers began connecting talcum powder to ovarian cancer in the 1970s, and that documents show Johnson & Johnson was aware of those studies. “Instead of giving a warning, what they did was targeted the groups most at risk for developing ovarian cancer,” specifically marketing to overweight women, blacks and Hispanics, Onder said.
Johnson & Johnson cites other medical evidence showing its products are blameless. “Unfortunately, the jury’s decision goes against 30 years of studies by medical experts around the world that continue to support the safety of cosmetic talc,” a Johnson & Johnson spokeswoman said. The company plans to appeal. At least 1,200 other talcum powderrelated lawsuits are pending, said Onder.

The Capitals’ Marcus Johansson lies on the ice after an illegal hit in Game 3 by Kris Letang.
CAPITALS AT PENGUINS | GAME 4: 8 TONIGHT, NBCSN
Caps’ series gets uglier Latest illegal hit results in Penguins defenseman Letang being suspended for Game 4 NHL PLAYOFFS There was Capitals center Marcus Johansson kneeling on the ice Monday night, his head down, his gloves cradling his head. That kind of image of distress has defined the Eastern Conference semifinal series between Washington and the Penguins. A game earlier, the image was of Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta, looking dazed, his teammates helping him to the bench. He hasn’t played or practiced since. The Penguins’ 3-2 victory at home Monday night gave them a 2-1 lead in the series, which was supposed to be the marquee matchup of the second round, two rivals loaded with superstar talent — and it has mostly
delivered with competitive and entertaining games. But the series has also spotlighted a harsh part of the game. The series might be swayed because of suspensions for illegal hits, with Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik receiving a threegame sentence for interference on Maatta, his hit described by the Department of Player Safety as “unacceptably high and excessively late.” And then Tuesday afternoon came the news that Pittsburgh’s top defenseman, Kris Letang, had been suspended one game for interference on Johansson. The hit came late in the first period Monday. Johansson had dumped the puck before Letang drove his left shoulder up and
under Johansson’s head. He was knocked briefly into the air and then collapsed to the ice. Letang was whistled for a two-minute minor for interference. Johansson returned for the second period but did not practice Tuesday. Letang will have to sit out tonight’s Game 4 in Pittsburgh (8 p.m., NBCSN). So suspensions have come to define the matchup. “I think every series has its own storyline, and it’ll change as this series goes on,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz said. “But that’s how it’s started.” Delivering hits to wear an opponent down over the course of a long series is part of the Capitals’ strategy. They’re a bigger team
than the Penguins and want to use that as an advantage. “It’s unfortunate that the guys are laying on the ice in pain from hits that aren’t classified as legal,” Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner said. “If they’re just a hard forechecking hit or a good battle and a hit and a guy gets hurt, then that’s something you can handle a lot better.” Orpik took responsibility for his hit on Maatta, calling it a “bad mistake.” Orpik said the team had emphasized hitting the Penguins’ defensemen, and that was something in the back of his mind as he hit a player who was no longer eligible to be checked because he had released the puck a full second earlier.

Run differential isn’t a definitive baseball statistic, but it helps explain why some teams are particularly successful. A look at the major league leaders entering Tuesday’s games. DAVE TEPPS (EXPRESS)
3 Nationals, +40 Washington has just average hitting so far (10th in the National League in runs scored). The key is its pitching staff, which led the majors with a 2.21 ERA.
2 Cardinals, +41 This is where critics find flaws in the statistic’s value. St. Louis was just 13-13 entering Tuesday and has had middling pitching, but it led the majors in runs.
1 Cubs, +83 You can’t expect them to stay on pace to surpass the 1927 Yankees (+376) in this stat, but manger Joe Maddon has orchestrated a rare combination of timely hitting and power pitching. p p g
CAPITALS
Trotz a target on Pittsburgh airwaves
The Capitals-Penguins series has become ecome a nasty one on the ice. It’s pretty rough on the air, too. Capitals coach Barry Trotz, left, is getting heat in Pittsburgh ttsburgh for intimating that the NHL wants to protect the Penguins. But longtime Pittsburgh sports talker Mark Madden took it to another level. “What a whiny no-neck loser Barry Trotz is ...” Madden said on radio. “Trotz is a loser even when he wins.” And the Capitals overall? “Much dirtier than I expected,” Madden said.

Relief questions answered Nationals’ new-look, versatile bullpen leads National League in ERA
Under Armour, Harper reach new mega-deal
Entering Tuesday, reliever Shawn Kelley hadn’t allowed a run in 8 ⅓ innings this season.
to figure out the best roles for each pitcher. “That was the only question,” he said. “We found out rather quickly where we were going to put guys and how we should use them and how many days. ... “We confer a lot in the dugout on which guys are available. ... We have some interchangeable parts. The guys are feeling confident. Confidence is the key.” The bullpen undermined the club last season. When
performance was poor or relievers got hurt, the Nationals had limited options, even dipping down to Class AA Harrisburg to call up pitchers. This offseason, the Nationals shopped in bulk, adding good but not flashy relievers. As a result, the depth improved and Baker had more options. So when he couldn’t get a seventh inning out of Gio Gonzalez on Monday, he could turn to Solis — instead of Rivero, who pitched
the night before — to bridge to the back of the bullpen. Solis, a lefty, throws in the mid-90s and has better command than he did last season as a rookie. After Kelley, a right-hander, gave up a double and got a strikeout in the eighth against righthanded batters, Baker turned to Perez to face the left-handers. S o fa r, t he rel ief pa r ts have been interchangeable — and effective. JAMES WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

2 MLB games likely won’t be played in Puerto Rico
Sandoval out for year
Maryland will meet Georgetown on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Verizon Center as part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, which pits teams from the Big Ten and Big East conferences, officials said Tuesday. The Terrapins beat the Hoyas 75-71 in College Park last Nov. 17, the first time the schools had met in the Washington area since 1993. Maryland and Georgetown played each other annually from 1947 to 1976. (TWP)

NATIONALS Think back to spring training, when the Nationals’ bullpen was an unknown — with many new faces and several possibilities. Just a month into the season, those questions feel distant. The bullpen of Jonathan Papelbon, Shawn Kelley, Oliver Perez, Felipe Rivero, Yusmeiro Petit, Sammy Solis (swapped in for injured Matt Belisle) and Blake Treinen has been the best in the National League. The bullpen’s strength was displayed Monday night in a 2-0 victory at Kansas City. Four relievers combined for three innings and allowed only one man to reach base. The bullpen’s collective ERA dropped to 2.48 — best in the NL (but sixth overall). Entering Tuesday night’s game against the Royals, the Nationals’ relievers had struck out 73 in 722/3 innings. Papelbon was 9-for-10 in save chances. Manager Dusty Baker said he and pitching coach Mike Maddux never were worried about the bullpen; they simply needed to use spring training
BUSINESS Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper signed a multi-year extension with Under Armour on Tuesday, a contract that, according to a person familiar with the deal, is believed to be the largest endorsement deal for an MLB player. Although terms weren’t disclosed by the Baltimore-based sportswear company, ESPN said the deal is for 10 years. Harper has been with Under Armour since he entered pro baseball in 2010 as the Nationals’ first-overall pick. His agent, Scott Boras, has popularized the use of opt-outs in contracts, and the extension is believed to have one. Harper, 23, has become a superstar of both baseball and marketing. He uses social media to share his interests with fans, has designed his owns shoes and hats, and happily displays his flair on the field, pushing to “make baseball fun again.” In addition to his Under Armour deal, Harper sponsors Gatorade and New Era. Baseball players haven’t received endorsement dollars comparable to some other athletes, but Harper could be helping to change that. Astros shortstop Carlos Correa recently signed a five-year Adidas deal that reports called “record-setting.” Other young superstars with Under Armour contracts include Stephen Curry, Cam Newton and Jordan Spieth.

League review finds slew of errors by refs in final 13.5 seconds
Call the Clinical Trials Center at
Boy’s devotion to Messi forces his family to flee ERIC GAY (AP)
NBA PLAYOFFS The NBA said Tuesday there were five incorrect non-calls during a wild final sequence Monday night in San Antonio, including a crucial foul that referees already had admitted they missed on Oklahoma City’s Dion Waiters. The league agreed with the refs that Waiters should have been whistled for knocking back Manu Ginobili with his elbow to create space to throw an inbounds pass, but also ruled in its Last 2 Minute report that Ginobili first committed a delayof-game violation by stepping on the sideline as he was defending. The inbounds play began a frenzied final 13.5 seconds in the Thunder’s 98-97 victory in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. The Spurs ended up stealing Waiters’ pass to Kevin Durant to start a fast break but couldn’t score, losing the game and leaving the series tied 1-1. Crew chief Ken Mauer said after the game that upon seeing a review of the play, there should have been an offensive foul on Waiters.
WEDNESDAY | 05.04.2016 | EXPRESS | 17
Coach Gregg Popovich and the Spurs lost Game 2 to the Thunder after a flurry of missed calls.
On Tuesday, the referees union wrote on Twitter that it had never seen the play before and would incorporate it into its training. The league also said the Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard and Patty Mills grabbed and held Thunder players, affecting their ability to get open for the inbound pass. After the Spurs stole the ball, Mills missed a jumper and they couldn’t get an offensive rebound. The league determined that was because the Thunder’s Serge Ibaka grabbed LaMarcus Aldridge’s jersey and affected his attempt. Had that been called, Aldridge would have attempted two shots from the line to win the game. BRIAN MAHONEY (AP)

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN The family of a 5-year-old Afghan boy who received autographed shirts from his soccer hero Lionel Messi left Afghanistan because of telephone threats and a menacing Taliban letter, the boy’s father said Tuesday. Mohammad Arif Ahmadi — whose son grabbed headlines when he was photographed wearing a No. 10 Argentina shirt fashioned from a striped plastic bag — said he has moved his family to neighboring Pakistan. “Life became a misery for us,” Ahmadi said by phone Tuesday. Insurgents like the Taliban perceive most of today’s sporting events as a corrupt Western influence. Ahmadi said he feared that his son Murtaza would be kidnapped after pictures of him wearing the makeshift jersey went viral on the Internet. Ahmadi said that at first he was not sure who was behind the calls. He thought it might be criminals who wrongly thought that the boy’s popularity had made the family wealthy. But Ahmadi said he realized it was the Taliban after getting a call from a local driver who told him he was bringing him a letter. “It was a letter sent by the Taliban,” Ahmadi said. The Taliban banned some sports — but not men’s soccer — as “un-Islamic” during their brutal reign from 1996 to 2001 and converted the main Kabul soccer stadium into a stage for public executions.

TRY THIS AT HOME
Fluke crudo with lemon and fennel is served at Garrison on Barracks Row.
Crudo awakening TRENDS Sushi and seviche are household names when it comes to raw fish. But how well do you know crudo? Chef Michael Schlow (Tico, The Riggsby) would like to introduce it to you at Conosci, his new crudo bar, where the nightly menu includes 10 to 12 variations available a la carte or as part of the tasting menus. (Conosci also serves soup, vegetables and other dishes.) “It’s about trying to showcase the fish … in a way you may not have seen before,” says Schlow, who recently opened the intimate 30-seat venue, attached to his new Italian restaurant, Alta Strada, near Mount Vernon Square. Crudo (the word means “raw” in Italian and Spanish) is essentially raw fish that has been sliced and seasoned lightly with spices, citrus and/or oil. Since the preparation is so pared down, it’s important to select fish that is firm and not too oily, says chef John Melfi of The Oval Room. His tuna crudo comes with

citrus salad, trout roe, cucumber, basil seeds and a yuzu emulsion, which sounds like a lot, but in reality the fish is minimally dressed. Crudo’s emphasis on the fish, not to mention the fact that it’s raw, means “you really need fresh, fresh fish,” Melfi says. He, like Schlow, puts in daily orders, so the menu may change from day to day or the supply may even run out before service ends. Fish destined for crudo is not something you want hanging

eating — it’s light, not fried and generally served in small portions, about an ounce or two. Plus, thanks largely to sushi, people are more comfortable with the idea of eating raw fish. Of course, that wasn’t always the case. Schlow recalls his high school friends practically gagging when he was 14 and told them about his adventurous family’s sushi dinner. Years later, a reviewer at the restaurant where Schlow was working was barely more accepting about crudo, he says. Crudo “wasn’t common in America at all,” Schlow says, whereas in Italy you might see someone by the water crack open a sea urchin, sprinkle it with salt lt and eat it just like that. “It’s on every Italian menu u now” in the States, Schlow w says. “It takes some time for r authenticity to settle in. I’m exxcited to see how it’s embraced d and how far we’ve come in n such a short amount of time.” ”

Pickle juice margarita The margarita — a perfectly proportioned mix of tequila, triple sec and lime juice — is begging for adaptations. Just ask Sarah Gordon and Sheila Fain, cofounders of Gordy’s Pickle Jar. Earlier this year, the D.C.-based company began selling its pickle juice in cans (available at gordyspicklejar.com) to be added to cocktails. Known as Fine Brine, the salty liquid works especially well in margaritas. Gordon and Fain shared a recipe with us for Cinco de Mayo. HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)
Ingredients 1 ½ ounces blanco tequila, 1 ounce Gordy’s Fine Brine, ½ ounce lime juice, ½ ounce Cointreau, ½ ounce simple syrup, 2 dashes orange bitters, lime wheel, salt
Directions Rim a rocks glass with salt. Combine all the liquids in a shaker over ice. Shake. Strain into the rocks glass over ice cubes and garnish with a lime wheel. el.

Reign of the ‘Hamil-Tonys’ Smash hip-hop musical nabs a record-breaking 16 Tony nominations
“Hamilton” star Lin-Manuel Miranda, center, faces a best-actor duel with Leslie Odom Jr. (Aaron Burr).
There were a few surprises, including Jennifer Hudson being overlooked in “The Color Purple” and only a costume design nomination for “Tuck Everlasting,” a musical based on the 1975 book by Natalie Babbitt. And there was no nomination for Audra McDonald in “Shuffle Along.” Then again, she has six Tonys already. “It’s a funny season this one, isn’t it,” said Andrew Lloyd Webber, who adapted “School of Rock.” “As you know, it’s the ‘HamilTonys.’ We’ve gotten everything we could have hoped for and that’s all we’ll get. But it’s lovely in this season of all seasons to get score and musical and book.”
DIVERSITY
35%
The percentage of 2016 Tony Award nominees that are people of color, largely due to “Hamilton’s” 16 nods. Compare that to the 2015 and 2016 Oscars, in which all 20 nominated actors and actresses were white. (TWP)
After “Hamilton,” the other top nominations went to the musical “Shuffle Along,” a show that explores a groundbreaking 95-year-old musical starring,
written and directed by AfricanAmericans, which got 10 nominations, and the revival of “She Loves Me,” which earned eight. The best play category is composed of Danai Gurira’s “Eclipsed” (in which Lupita Nyong’o is up for best actress), Floria Zeller’s “The Father,” Stephen Karam’s “The Humans” and Mike Bartlett’s “King Charles III.” The 70th annual ceremony is scheduled for June 12, with James Corden playing host from the Beacon Theatre. “Hamilton” will be hoping to break another record: The musical with the most Tonys is “The Producers” with 12.

She taught me never to com compromise your values — to always fight for what you believe in.” DINA LAPOLT, the Calif. attorney who handled hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur’s estate for nearly 10 years, on the death of his mother Afeni Shakur, left, announced Tuesday. Authorities said she died Monday night after suffering a possible heart attack at 69.

OAN MARCUS (THE PUBLIC THEATER VIA AP)
THEATER The megahit musical “Hamilton” has grabbed a record-breaking 16 Tony Award nominations, the biggest haul in Broadway history and another step in the show’s march into theatrical history. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hiphop-flavored biography about the first U.S. treasury secretary on Tuesday broke the 15-nomination record held jointly by “The Producers” and “Billy Elliot.” “Hamilton” earned seven acting nominations — for Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Daveed Diggs, Jonathan Groff, Christopher Jackson and Renee Elise Goldsberry. (Miranda himself might sneak past Odom as best actor.) It also earned nominations for scenic design, costumes, lighting design, direction, choreography, orchestrations, best book and best original score. “I feel really grateful that they kind of spread the wealth. It’s hard to ask for more,” Miranda said. “This isn’t a book award. This isn’t like I wrote some novel by myself with an editor. Theater requires collaboration and I’m lucky to be working with some of the best people in their respective fields alive right now.” Next month, “Hamilton” will fight for Broadway’s biggest crown — best new musical — with “Bright Star,” “School of Rock,” Shuffle Along Waitress. ‘’Shuffle Along” and “Waitress.”

“We will be boycotting @effenvodka and challenge others ... to do the same!” @HOLYGRAILBANKS, the Twitter account of the well-known Cincinnati bar the Holy Grail, announces it will boycott 50 Cent’s Effen Vodka after he posted a mocking video accusing a janitor at the Cincinnati airport of being on drugs. The since-deleted video drew a backlash after it came out that the subject of the rapper’s rant is a teen who is hearing impaired and autistic.
“The The clip li rather astutely captures J.J. Abrams’ entire two-hour-plus movie in just three minutes.” ANGELA WATERCUTTER, at wired.com,
marvels at a video Disney released Tuesday in which “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is told through emojis. Although some fans complained that the emoji video lacked accuracy, others found it charming. Disney has previously re-created films such as “Aladdin” and “Tangled” with emojis.
“No need to find a new favorite band — I’m going back to my old favorite band.” @CHADPAPERROUTE raves about Radiohead’s new song “Burn the Witch,” the band’s first in nearly five years. After having mysteriously erased everything from their website and social media accounts on Sunday, the group shared the creepy stop-motion music video for the song on Tuesday, to great interest from fans. Radiohead’s long-anticipated ninth album is expected to come out in June, according to previous statements from the band’s management company.
Seeking Candidates for Uterine Fibroid Research Study If you struggle with heavy periods, you may have uterine fibroids, a common cause of heavy menstrual bleeding.
Nearly 3 out of 4 women will have fibroids before the age of 50, and it is the most common reason for hysterectomy.
#14376262.0
The SONATA (Sonography-Guided Transcervical Ablation) Study is designed to establish the safety and effectiveness of a new, investigational device to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding caused by uterine fibroids, without the need for hysterectomy.
Right now, The GW Medical Faculty Associates is participating in the SONATA Study. Treatment and all study-required care is provided at no cost to the patient. Modest compensation is offered as participants will be expected to attend multiple appointments and complete menstrual diaries and questionnaires.

Model Amber Rose is getting her own talk show. VH1 announced Tuesday that her show will take on pop culture topics with celebrity interviews.

Dr. Phil is a producer on the show, which premieres this summer.
