WAKEY, WAKEY!

SPOOKED

Nothing starts the day off like the scent of rotting chicken parts

Know who doesn’t appreciate a T. rex horsing around? Horses.

There was a fowl smell wafting through Maine’s largest city early Tuesday. Police said a truck carrying chicken parts malfunctioned, spilling gallon upon gallon of poultry bits along a residential street in Portland. Motorists drove through the spill site before it was eventually cleared. Police closed off the roadway and covered the mess with sawdust. Authorities said the parts weren’t a health hazard. (AP)

Here’s a sequence of events not likely to recur: A woman in a T. rex costume was walking last week in downtown Charleston, S.C., and came upon a horse-drawn carriage. Police said she growled at the two animals, spooking them. When they reared, the driver was tossed to the street and broke his left foot. The woman was charged with disorderly conduct, The Post and Courier reported.

Transit agency is using eau de mango to raise customer satisfaction

PEEP SHOW

To try to please riders, Metro has been installing mango- and cucumber melon-scented air fresheners on 6000-series trains on the Green Line.

upward trends in the transit agency’s most recent “vital signs” progress report, at least when it comes to riders’ views on the cleanliness of the trains.

“We’ve been testing air fresheners on a limited number of railcars. At last measure there was about 6 percent of the fleet with air fresheners,” Burnside said.

“That did have a pretty nice impact quickly,” she added. “I guess if [the trains] smell good, people feel they’re clean.”

Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly offered additional specifics on the statistics cited by Burnside.

According to customer surveys, the percentage of riders satisfied with the level of cleanliness on railcars increased from 53 percent last December to 61 percent at the end of March.

“On the Green Line specifically, satisfaction on cleanliness improved to 73 percent, a 15 percent increase,” Ly said.

PornHub: No hack at Union Station After three minutes of pornographic content appeared on an ad screen at Union Station last week, officials said the incident was probably a hack.

But the executives at PornHub aren’t so certain that the incident was deliberate. “It’s entirely possible the perpetrator of this incident was an avid fan who was perusing our content and unfortunately mishandled the technology behind the video screen at Union Hall,” said the streaming service, whose videos appeared in front of unwitting commuters.

TRANSPORTATION Metro officials are hoping that Green Line riders will soon detect a subtle difference on their daily commute — a certain eau de cucumber melon, if you will.

As part of an effort to improve customer satisfaction with cleanliness on the trains, workers have been installing industrial-grade air fresheners on 6000-series trains that traverse the Green Line. The air fresheners are placed within the ventilation systems on the trains, and new ones are swapped in each month.

For now, the air fresheners come in two scents: cucumber melon and mango.

News of the newly perfumed trains came at a Metro board meeting earlier this month, where Metro’s chief performance officer, Andrea Burnside, said the decision to begin using air fresheners may have contributed to some heartening

Giant pandas have a yearly peak estrus period that runs between 24 and 72 hours. “[Mating] has to happen within that window because that’s the only time her egg is released for a whole year,” a zoo spokeswoman said. (TWP)

High times for weed biz District’s marijuana law spawns a gray market of companies redefining home-delivered goods

Forecasters say summer will be cooler this year

D.C. residents light up in front of their purchased prints, which were delivered with a free “gift” of marijuana.

give away up to an ounce to users 21 and older, and that provision has produced a sly flowering of the cannabis economy.

“It’s just an explosion of entrepreneurship,” said Adam Eidinger, who successfully pushed for the passage of Initiative 71.

One of the most popular services is the District of C, a webbased enterprise started by a group of Gallaudet University students that sells small prints of paintings by deaf artists. Each $60 print is ordered from the website, paid for with a credit card and hand-delivered to the buyer along with a gift of about an eighth of an ounce of marijuana tucked in a plastic canister.

The concept has made for some lavishly decorated group houses, including a rowhouse in Northwest that is wallpapered with renderings of Bob Marley, Abe Lincoln and lotus blossoms.

“It’s just a very convenient service,” said a resident in his mid-20s, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “But we have

Similar services include High Speed (juice, $55), Red Eye (cookies, six for $60) and Pink Fox (clothing, various prices).

Lt. Andrew Struhar of the narcotics division of D.C. police said that the ambiguous state of the law has opened the door for boundary-testers. Investigators are aware of the services, he said, and when they deem them illegal, they shut them down.

“It is a little bit in flux,” Struhar said. “The lack of being able to regulate the sale has a lot of people looking for a gray area.”

For some users, the buy-oneget-one-free model has created an excess of merchandise they might not want otherwise. On a recent afternoon, one in-the-know customer after another entered Wash Hydro, an upscale hydroponics shop in Adams Morgan, and went right to the stacks of weed-emblazoned T-shirts. The cashier rung them up, put the receipt in the bag and reached behind the counter for a “free souvenir from the collective.”

One customer emerging from the shop opened his bag and asked, “You want a T-shirt?”

He was a trim retiree in a polo shirt and khaki shorts who gave his name but asked that it not be used. He said he is delighted to have a safer way to buy cannabis than the old black market.

“What can I say, I’m 75 years old and still enjoy using Viagra and marijuana,” he said, climbing into a car for the ride back to his Georgetown garden and an evening of white wine and weed.

TONI L. SANDYS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT In D.C., it is now as easy to get marijuana delivered to your door as pizza. Really expensive pizza.

More than two years after D.C. allowed residents to legally cultivate and possess cannabis for personal use, a growing gray market of companies has sprung up that will bring orders of highpriced cookies, juice, clothing or even artwork to your house, along with the “gift” of a few fat buds.

Those who want to imbibe can also pay to attend craft fairs where vendors sell edibles and smokables at what one regular terms a “farmers market for weed.” Purchasers get their marijuana after buying another product. But reportedly in some cases sales have become more straightforward — cash for pot.

The new pot providers have started to roil the city’s four-yearold medical marijuana network, which requires patients with a prescription to pick up their cannabis in person at an official dispensary. Those operators have asked regulators to grant them authority to go door to door, said Vanessa West, general manager of Metropolitan Wellness Center.

“It’s hard for us to compete with home delivery,” West said.

“A lot of our patients would really benefit from that.”

Most of the companies are exploiting what they hope is a loophole in Initiative 71, the ballot measure that legalized cannabis for personal use. The law, which passed overwhelmingly in 2014, allows residents to grow small amounts of marijuana and possess up to two ounces but forbids buying or selling it. But the statute does permit growers to

WASHINGTONPOST.COM CAPITAL WEATHER GANG

REGION Washington’s four hottest summers on record have all occurred since 2010. Will punishing, record-setting heat repeat in the summer of 2017?

The National Weather Service and five private-sector firms say to expect another hot summer, but probably not one for the record books.

Washingtonians who detest the heat can take solace in the fact that all of these outlooks predict cooler conditions than last summer, which ranked as the fourth hottest on record. That sweltering season featured 58 days during which the mercury climbed to at least 90 degrees, compared with an average of 36.

“Comparing forecasts for this summer versus last summer, it’s substantially cooler,” said Stephen Baxter, lead author of the National Weather Service’s summer outlook.

But even if it’s not as hot as last summer, it’s still predicted to be plenty toasty — which is the emerging new normal.

If it weren’t for climate change, the National Weather Service might be predicting a cooler than normal summer in D.C. Baxter said its prediction for a somewhat warmer than normal summer was made largely on the basis that summer temperatures are trending hotter in recent decades.

“It’s a fairly overwhelming signal,” he said. JASON SAMENOW

local Media outlets falsely claimed WikiLeaks link to killing of DNC staffer THE DISTRICT A week after publishing a problematic account about the death of former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich — an article that said Rich made contact with WikiLeaks before he was shot and killed in Washington — Fox News retracted the story, saying it did not meet the organization’s editorial standards.

“The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting,” Fox said in a brief statement on its website Tuesday. “Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.”

Fox News and its Washington affiliate, WTTG, reported last week that Rich had leaked 44,053 DNC emails and 17,761 attachments to a now-deceased WikiLeaks director. The stories immediately gained traction on social media and among

conservative outlets — even as Rich’s family rejected the reports.

Rich’s family said it was grateful for the story’s removal.

“The family would like to thank Fox News for their retraction on a story that has caused deep pain and anguish to the family and has done harm to Seth Rich’s legacy,” the family said through a spokesman.

Rich was killed July 10, in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Northwest Washington.

Police said his death was the result of a botched robbery.

Trump appeals for Mideast peace President leaves Israel urging both sides to lay aside past differences JERUSALEM President Trump made a personal appeal for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, calling on both sides to put aside the “pain and disagreements of the past” as he closed a four-day swing through the Middle East on Tuesday.

But Trump departed for Europe having offered no real indication of a path forward on one of the world’s most intractable disputes. He pointedly sidestepped any mention of the thorny issues that have stymied all previous attempts at a peace deal, including the status of Jerusalem, Israeli settlement construction and the Palestinians’ demand for a sovereign nation.

Trump’s vagueness on one of the region’s central issues did little to dampen the enthusiasm surrounding his visit, particularly from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The prime minister, who had a frosty relationship with former President Obama, heaped praise on Trump throughout the two-day visit, declaring: “We understand each other.”

During his quick stop in the region, Trump met with both Netanyahu and Palestinian

Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Speaking at the Israel Museum, he declared both sides ready to move forward, though there were no tangible signs of the dormant peace process being revived.

GOP slams Trump’s budget Lawmakers question rosy growth projections and blast massive cuts

Ex-CIA director alerted FBI to Russia contacts

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney on Tuesday defended massive cuts to safety-net programs in the administration’s proposal.

and reduce poverty.

“I think what Trumponomics is and what this budget is a part of is an effort to get to sustained 3 percent economic growth in this country again,” Mulvaney said in a briefing with reporters.

Every presidential budget is merely an administration’s statement of priorities, and there is never any expectation it will survive Congress intact. Even so, the GOP backlash against Trump’s budget was striking.

Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., said border security is important, but questioned the need for $1.6 billion to be spent on Trump’s border wall.

“I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall — why is this in our budget?” Upton remarked, only partly joking.

“He’s … in Israel.

I have no idea what he’s thinking right now. Not that I would if he were here either.”

SEN. PAT ROBERTS, R-KAN., when asked what President Trump was thinking with his budget proposal, which includes cuts to agriculture

Several GOP lawmakers also complained that the administration made little or no effort to consult with them before putting forward a roster of cuts that Congress would clearly find unacceptable. These include slashing agriculture spending for crop

insurance and food stamps; a cut of more than 30 percent for the State Department; and billions in cuts to other domestic programs, from Superfund cleanup spending to student loans.

“You would hope that they would want to ask the folks who know the most about it,” said Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, adding he and his staff were not consulted.

Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas, who chairs the Agriculture Committee in the Senate, said cuts to crop insurance were a no-go.

“We’ve had a freeze, we’ve had a prairie fire … and you’re telling me there’s going to be large cuts to crop insurance? Come on. That doesn’t add up,” Roberts said.

POLITICS President Trump’s first budget proposal got an icy reception on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, and that was just from the Republicans.

Longtime GOP Rep. Hal Rogers of Kentucky declared proposed cuts to safety-net and environmental programs “draconian.”

“I don’t think the president’s budget is going anywhere,” said Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana when asked if he’s concerned about the message sent by slashing the Medicaid program for the poor and disabled.

GOP Rep. Mark Sanford of South Carolina questioned the rosy growth projections that suggest the budget would be balanced over a decade without touching Social Security or Medicare.

“So it creates a lie that we all then either address or don’t address, but it makes for a makebelieve debate that I find frustrating,” Sanford said.

White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney defended the plan, calling it a “Taxpayer First Budget,” and saying that they worked to jettison any spending that they felt they could not defend. In total, this meant roughly $3.6 trillion in cuts over the next 10 years.

These cuts, White House officials said, would usher in a sustained period of strong economic growth that would increase wealth, create more jobs

NATIONAL SECURITY The CIA alerted the FBI to a troubling pattern of contacts between Russian officials and associates of the Trump campaign last year, former agency director John Brennan testified on Tuesday.

In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Brennan said he became increasingly concerned that Trump associates were being manipulated by Russian intelligence services as part of a broader covert influence campaign that sought to disrupt the election and deliver the presidency to Trump.

“I was worried by a number of the contacts that the Russians had with U.S. persons,” Brennan said, adding that he did not see proof of collusion before he left office on Jan. 20, but “felt as though the FBI investigation was certainly well-founded and needed to look into those issues.”

Brennan also testified that he was the first to confront a senior member of the Russian government on the matter, using an August phone conversation with the head of Russia’s security service, the FSB, to warn that the meddling would damage the U.S.-Russia relationship.

Brennan said he told FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov that “American voters would be outraged by any Russian attempt to interfere in the election” and that such activity “would destroy any near-term prospect of improvement” in relations with the U.S. GREG MILLER (TWP)

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte declared the country’s south under martial rule for 60 days and cut short a visit to Moscow on Tuesday after Muslim extremists allied with the Islamic State group laid siege to the southern region of Mindanao.

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said troops raided the hideout of a top terrorist suspect in the southern city of Marawi on Tuesday, sparking a gunbattle that prompted the militants to call for reinforcements from an allied group, the Maute. He said dozens of gunmen occupied city hall, a hospital and a jail and burned a Catholic church, a jail, a college and some houses. (AP)

Two men in Indonesia’s Aceh province were publicly caned dozens of times Tuesday for consensual gay sex, a punishment that intensifies an anti-gay backlash in the world’s most populous Muslim country and which rights advocates denounced as “medieval torture.” More than a thousand people packed the courtyard of a mosque to witness the caning, which was the first time that Aceh, the only province in Indonesia to practice Shariah law, has caned people for homosexuality.

The crowd shouted insults and cheered as the men, ages 20 and 23, were whipped across the back and winced with pain. (AP)

UMUC Salutes Our Military Heroes MONIQUE WARDRICK Bachelor of Arts, Communication Studies Air Force Veteran

Monique Wardrick’s personal approach eases stress for transitioning airmen.

Heroism takes many forms. For U.S. Air Force veteran Monique Wardrick, it came in the form of a small change with a big impact.

As a transportation entitlements counselor, Wardrick wanted to provide a superior level of service to transitioning and separating airmen whom she was charged with assisting as they moved their households to new locations. So, she worked with her superiors to develop an individualized approach that addressed the unique needs of each airman with tailored solutions.

Because of her “passion for people, not just the job,” Wardrick was able to empower the servicemembers and families she served with information on all of their options and ease their anxiety during times of huge life changes.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday raised the nation’s threat level and deployed the military to guard concerts, sports matches and other public events, saying another attack “may be imminent” following a bombing Monday night that left 22 people dead.

The announcement, which takes Britain’s alert level to its highest possible rating, “critical,” clears the way for British troops to take to the streets and replace police officers.

The announcement came after May’s security cabinet concluded that the attacker who carried out Monday’s bombing may have been part of a wider network.

The worst terrorist attack on British soil in over a decade was carried out by a 22-year-old U.K. citizen, Salman Abedi, who lived just a short drive from the concert hall that he transformed from a scene of youthful merriment into a tableau of horror.

The prospect of a wider plot, May said, was “a possibility we cannot ignore.”

The Islamic State claimed the attack, which killed 22 people — many of them teens — following a concert in this northern English city by American pop star Ariana Grande late Monday night.

Even as officials and experts cast doubt on the terrorist group’s assertion, however,

authorities were scrambling to execute searches, arrest potential accomplices and reinforce security systems.

The highest priority for police, said Greater Manchester Chief Constable Ian Hopkins, was to “establish whether [Abedi] was acting alone or as part of a network.”

Earlier he had said that Abedi carried out the bombing alone, and that he used an improvised explosive device.

But unlike in previous highprofile attacks — including one in March in which an assailant driving a speeding car ran down pedestrians on a London bridge, then stabbed to death a British police officer — experts said it was unlikely that Monday’s attack had been executed without help.

“Getting a car or a knife is easy,” said Raffaello Pantucci, a terrorism expert at the Londonbased Royal United Services Institute. “Making a bomb that works and goes off when you want it to go off takes preparation and practice. And it usually involves other people.”

A 23-year-old from south Manchester was arrested in connection with the bombing. Police also carried out searches at two homes.

A senior European intelligence official said the attacker was a British citizen of Libyan descent. The official said the suspect’s brother has been taken into custody.

The casualties included children as young as elementary school students. Police said that

A vigil was held in Albert Square in Manchester, England, on Tuesday, the day after a suicide attack following an Ariana Grande concert.

On Tuesday, the U.K. grieved for the attack’s young victims, with thousands of people converging on Manchester’s graceful Albert Square for a vigil. Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham vowed the city — which has known its share of hardship, having been bombed relentlessly during World War II — would not succumb to division or anger. Poet Tony Walsh delivered an ode to the city titled “This Is the Place.” (TWP)

among the 59 people injured, a dozen were younger than 16.

Among the dead was Saffie Rose Roussos, who was just 8 years old. The first victim to be

publicly identified was Georgina Callander, an 18-year-old student.

Other names were expected to be released today.

President Trump called the attackers “evil losers” in his condemnation of the attack.

In a speech outside 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister May called the Manchester killings “callous.”

“This attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice, deliberately targeting innocent, defenseless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives,” she said. GRIFF WITTE, K ARLA ADAM AND SOUAD MEKHENNET (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE SWITCH

Google will begin using data from billions of credit and debit card transactions — including card numbers, purchase amounts and time stamps — to solve the long-standing quest to prove that online ads prompt consumers to make purchases in brick-and-mortar stores, the company said on Tuesday.

The advance enables Google to tell retailers how many sales they created through their digital ad campaigns. It’s is a step toward what industry insiders have long described as the “holy grail” of digital advertising.

Google’s latest move to tie people’s digital trails to their real-world behaviors is likely to renew concerns over whether technology giants and their affiliated companies know too much about people’s lives — and whether they disclose enough about how they collect and use that information.

Google collects massive amounts of personal data from smartphones and desktop computers. All of that information is tied to the real identities of users when they log into Google’s services.

Google executives say they are using complex formulas to protect the privacy of consumers when they match a Google user with a shopper at a store. The formulas make it impossible for Google or retailers to know shoppers’ identities. ELIZABETH

Flynn gets new subpoenas Senate panel employs different tack to obtain Russia-tied documents POLITICS The Senate Intelligence Committee is issuing two new subpoenas for information from the companies of former national security adviser and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, and challenging his lawyer’s refusal to comply with an existing subpoena for documents detailing Flynn’s contacts with Russian officials, committee leaders announced Tuesday.

“A bu si ne ss does not have the right to take the Fifth [Amendment],” Sen. Mark R. Warner of VirFlynn ginia, the committee’s lead Democrat, told reporters as he and chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., pledged to “keep all options on the table,” including a contempt charge.

They are also sending a letter to Flynn’s lawyers challenging them on “whether Flynn can take the Fifth as it relates to document production,” and itemizing more specifically what documents they want Flynn to furnish.

Warner also said director of national intelligence Daniel Coats and National Security Agency Director Michael S. Rogers “owe the committee some explanation” about the conversations they had with President Trump regarding the Russian investigation. KAROUN DEMIRJIAN (TWP)

THREE POINTERS

Pressure to keep jobs

No fun? NFL eases rule on celebrations NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Tuesday that the NFL will relax its rules regarding on-field celebrations “to allow players more room to have fun after they make big plays.”

The changes come after league officials had conversations with more than 80 current and former players about broadening what’s allowed and clarifying what isn’t.

The following are now OK: Using the football as a prop after a touchdown; celebrating on the ground (making snow angels, for example); and group celebrations.

Goodell, at the spring owners meetings in Chicago, said this isn’t allowed: “offensive demonstrations, celebrations that are prolonged and delay the game, and those directed at an opponent.”

Celebrations mimicking the use of a weapon still are banned.

Ditto for anything sexually suggestive, such as twerking.

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said the change sets a bad example for young people, but Goodell disagreed. “I think the players will prove him wrong on that,” Goodell said.

Momentum for change has built up for months, if not longer.

In March, the NFL competition committee examined excessive-celebration penalties at the annual league meetings after a 2016 season in which 30 such jubilant acts were flagged (there were 34 such penalties combined in the three seasons that preceded 2016).

The goal was to clarify and relax the rules after the league was criticized for being killjoys, and inconsistent killjoys at that.

For example: In Week 13, the 49ers’ Rashard Robinson drew a penalty for making a snow angel after a punt return. But on ang

New guidelines will let players show more emotion on the field

With the Redskins conducting offseason practices through Thursday, here is a look at some potential position battles ahead of summer training camp. MIKE JONES

Revised rules on celebrating endorse a post-touchdown free throw by Vernon Davis, top, but Antonio Brown’s twerking remains prohibited.

OT cut to 10 minutes NFL owners on Tuesday adopted a new rule that reduces the overtime period from 15 minutes to 10 in the preseason and regular season. The change aims to reduce potential wear and tear on players, especially if they have to play a Thursday night game after a Sunday game.

Some coaches and executives have expressed concern that the reduced overtime would lead to more ties — there were two last season — but the league doesn’t expect a significant uptick. (AP)

the same Sunday, Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb was not penalized for doing the same thing after a touchdown catch.

And then there were the celebrations that in no way should have been flagged, like when Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott jumped into the Salvation Army bucket after a touchdown, or when Seahawks safety Earl Thomas hugged an official after returning an interception for a touchdown.

That’s just fun. MATT BONESTEELL

Third-year man Preston Smith started every game in 2016. But his lack of consistency helped prompt the team to draft Alabama’s Ryan Anderson in Round 2.

2 Left guard Although Shawn Lauvao is the starter, third-year pro Arie Kouandjio and Isaiah Williams, who was on the practice squad last year, provide real competition.

1 Running back Rob Kelley is the starter for now, but look for fourthround pick Samaje Perine of Oklahoma to push him for that job. Perine also could pressure backup Matt Jones.

Sports Illustrated reported this week that their relationship has become “poisonous,” with Golic miffed that his on-air pal never told him he was planning to leave for a different venture on the network. Golic’s new ESPN gig will be a radio-only show — rather than the current simulcast — with Trey Wingo and Golic’s son, Mike Jr. For now, Greenberg and Golic are doing a good job pretending they’re still buddies. “When the light comes on, you would not know what’s going on,” a longtime ESPNer told SI. “They are pros on air.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Cortez Kennedy, one of the best defensive tackles of his generation and a Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee in 2012 despite rarely finding himself in the spotlight as a player, was found dead Tuesday at his home in Orlando, Fla. Police said the circumstances of his death were unknown but that there was nothing suspicious.

Kennedy played all of his 11 NFL seasons with the Seahawks and appeared in only one postseason game. Kennedy, an eight-time Pro Bowler and NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1992, was the No. 3 overall pick out of the University of Miami in 1990. (AP)

Manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that reserve infielder Stephen Drew was sent to the club’s spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Fla., to begin a rehab assignment for his strained hamstring. Drew has been out since mid-April, longer than his manager anticipated, and has no timetable for a return.

new waterfront — even if they can’t afford the glitzy condos and restaurants.

Some of the prices for condos and apartments could threaten records in the city for cost per square foot.

PN Hoffman made its name introducing high-end flats and condos along 14th Street NW before Logan Circle boomed. It is selling some of the first-phase Wharf condos for more than $1,000 per square foot, prices mostly not seen outside of Georgetown.

In the first phase, there are reduced-rent apartments mixed among the pricey ones. At the Incanto, a 148-unit building, 47 apartments are being offered to renters at a spectrum of income levels. That could range from a couple making less than $26,000 annually (who would pay $661 monthly for a one-bedroom) to a couple making under $105,888 annually (who would pay $2,525 monthly for a one-bedroom). At the Channel Apartments, 153 of 501 units are offered at similarly reduced rents.

Phase two construction could begin in 2018. JONATHAN O’CONNELL

A few home design features are emerging as this year’s must-haves in the Mid-Atlantic region.

According to a survey conducted by Bright MLS, an open floor plan is by far the most requested feature in kitchens, with 89 percent of real estate professionals saying their buyers ask for it.

Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances remain popular. Niche appliances such as steam ovens, warming drawers and wine refrigerators are gaining momentum.

So are high-end kitchens (according to 74 percent of agents) and bathrooms (56 percent), followed by parking (39 percent), outdoor dining and entertaining spaces (46 percent), fireplace(s) (21 percent) and smart home technology (18 percent). JON COILE

(FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

The Wharf will dwarf NEIGHBORHOODS For three years, cranes have been at work in Southwest D.C. erecting the first phase of a waterfront aimed at putting the city’s smallest quadrant on the map for locals and visitors alike.

This summer, the fruits of that construction — apartments, hotels, piers and condominiums — will start opening for business as part of D.C.’s largest new development, the Wharf.

As the developers entered the final months of the first phase, they submitted plans for the second, in early May. That plan will double the Wharf’s size.

For those tired of seeing Washington developers building glass boxes downtown, the plans for the second phase of the Wharf will come as a relief. There is plenty of glass, but the development team of PN Hoffman and Madison Marquette took pains to avoid a pitfall that has tripped up other mega-developers: excessive uniformity.

COURTESY OF THE WHARF

The District’s biggest new development is going to double in size

This rendering shows, on the left, a planned condo building in Southwest.

Instead of hiring one or two architects and planners to design the project, they hired 11.

“We learned in the first phase that having a different architect for each building provided a nice variety, and our goal was to make the project look not like a project but more organic, like it was built over time,” says Shawn Seaman, senior vice president at D.C.-based PN Hoffman, the lead developer.

By any measure, the Wharf is one of the biggest developments on the East Coast. It includes

about a mile of shoreline, 24 acres of land and 50 acres of water in the Washington Channel. The second phase alone is almost 1.2 million square feet.

By relying on a wide array of design ideas, the Wharf’s developers are hoping to avoid creating a place that will feel like a sterile, outdoor shopping mall. With the help of $198 million in city funds, they’ve also included public parks, piers and play spaces to encourage the surrounding neighborhood and the rest of the city to enjoy the

Freestanding cabinets open up space and add function to kitchens DESIGN Boxy homes compartmentalized into closed-in rooms are found through the history of residential architecture, from European castles to Colonial houses.

Only in the last couple of decades have houses opened up.

The ideas of great rooms and open-concept floor plans have been a revelation in home design.

Instead of a wall to divide the functions of cooking and eating, we now frequently feature the perfect transition between the two spaces: the island.

The kitchen island embodies all that we love about openconcept homes: It is functional, social and adaptable.

The No. 1 one factor in choosing an island is square footage.

Whether your kitchen is large or small, consider scale. A 24- by 60-inch island can be dwarfed by a large, open room; by contrast, the same size island can crowd

THINKSTOCK

The many joys of island living Consider scale when choosing a kitchen island, so it’s neither swimming in a large, open space nor making a smaller room seem crowded.

a smaller galley layout.

Twenty-four inches is the typical depth of a base cabinet, and therefore the typical starting depth of an island that has no seating. The Americans With Disabilities Act recommends a

minimum of 36 inches of clearance on all sides of an island.

That distance can sometimes be stretched to 48 inches, or squeezed to 30 inches. Check local codes on egress before committing to the latter.

The more clearance you have, the more you can consider expanding the depth of the island or adding seating.

There are other options if you lack adequate clearance. In the right space, a shallower island, 21 inches or even 18 inches deep, can work. Another option is the mobile island — often a countertop atop a wheeled cart — if you have a place to keep it when it’s not in use.

Lastly, if your space is not conducive to an island, consider a peninsula: It’s just as functional as an island, but tethered to the rest of your cabinetry. A peninsula acts to contain a kitchen work area more but, if it is short, can accommodate extra prep space and even seating in areas that are too narrow for an island.

A big change in tune Linkin Park abandons its metal and rap roots for an unrecognizable pop album ALBUM REVIEW A few years back, Southern California rock band Linkin Park contacted Harvard Business School. They were concerned: The record industry was in a meltdown. Rock radio, a vital promotional engine for the band, was dead. Old revenue streams, such as album sales, were drying up.

After a semester of independent study, a team from the school came up with some ideas.

Linkin Park needed to diversify.

Music would now be just one not particularly consequential element of their brand.

And now they have released “One More Light,” the band’s first album since the Ha Harvard

overhaul. As an artistic work, it’s fine, a subtle and contemplative pop album from a band not known to be any of those things.

As an exercise in branding, it’s a disaster.

In their early days, every Linkin Park song was like a wounded animal, an authentic expression of young punk angst that was bro-centric but effective.

They weren’t always geniuses, but you knew that they meant it.

“One More Light” is a goodbye to all that. It’s a beyond-fervid embrace of the pop sonics the band has flirted with for years. It contains little rap and even less metal.

There are thoughtful acoustic songs and rote electro-pop songs.

And with most of the band’s members now on the other side of 40, they seem to be fumbling with the uncertainties common to many artists in the late middle age of their careers.

This is what they shouldn’t have done: hire a gaggle of songwriters previously employed by Britney Spears and Justin Bieber.

“One More Light” is peppered with vague, meme-able niceties about perseverance and missing home and the beauty of the stars that could mean anything, that will appeal to anyone, or no one.

“One More Light” is virtually unrecognizable as a Linkin Park album. The band’s guitars are muted, its usual volcanic rage downgraded to a mild pique,

its co-frontman, rapper Mike Shinoda, mostly absent. The electro-poppy “Talking to Myself” sounds like the work of a ’90s boy band. The lumbering first single “Heavy” emulates, in feel if not in sound, The Chainsmokers’ “Closer,” with Kiiara standing in for Halsey.

“One More Light” isn’t awful.

Its acoustic title track is wistful and warm; the gauzy “Battle Symphony” and the electro-rap “Good Goodbye” are both solid, even if guests Pusha T and grime artist Stormzy do most of the heavy lifting on the latter. But sincerity is the only real currency Linkin Park has, and this is the first album they’ve ever made that feels false. There’s nothing here worth capsizing a brand over. ALLISON STEWART (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Lust for Life’ Lana Del Rey ft. The Weeknd

Committing fully to both their brands, the video for this duet by Lana Del Rey and The Weeknd — and the track itself — is a tale of romance caught in an acid trip, or a reverie, or both. Is there a better place to sing about love than atop the Hollywood sign, while drifting off into a dream where sailboats are made of ribbon and the earth is a peace sign made of flowers? Real question.

Roger Moore, the suavest of Bonds James Bond.

The Bond film franchise cemented his fame like no other role. Sean Connery helped launch the Bond movies with “Dr. No” in 1962, but Moore was the longest-running Bond — starting with “Live and Let Die” (1973) and ending six films later with “A View to a Kill” (1985).

Starting with Moore, the series relied increasingly on gadgetry and cartoonish excess, such as when Bond jumps across the

Roger Moore’s James Bond might not have been serious, but he sure was fun.

AP

1927-2017 In a career that seemed impervious to critical drubbing, Roger Moore owed his enduring box office appeal to exceptionally good looks, terrific luck and a self-deprecating charm.

The English actor, who died of cancer Tuesday at age 89 in Switzerland, became an international star in playboy-adventurer roles, first on the hit 1960s TV series “The Saint” and later for his portrayal of dashing spy

backs of snapping alligators in “Live and Let Die,” performs a corkscrew car jump over a broken bridge in “The Man With the Golden Gun” (1974) and evades a guided missile in a pocket-size

Comedy Central orders seven additional episodes of its Trump parody series “The President Show”

jet plane in “Octopussy” (1983).

Moore began performing on screen in his teens as an extra on the set of a 1945 Shakespeare production. Despite limited dramatic training, he was propelled

to Hollywood stardom by his dazzling blue eyes and enviable blond bouffant. The film critic Rex Reed once wrote that Mr. Moore was frequently “prettier than his leading ladies.”

Claiming he wanted to beat the critics to the punch, Moore frequently made light of his limitations. “My acting range?” he once quipped. “Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised.”

But Moore’s Bond was indeed praised. Faced with the question of who played the better Bond, Moore told an interviewer in 2013, “Sean Connery played him as a killer and I’m a lover.

I tried to be different — but it involved acting, unfortunately.”

ROXANE GAY, writing for marieclaire.com about the premiere of “The Bachelorette” starring Rachel Lindsay, the first black Bachelorette. Gay argues that although it may seem trivial, Rachel’s turn as the Bachelorettee is a victory for representation. Finally, America can watch a black woman be wooed “by a bevy of blandly attractive, muscular men with hairless bodies, es, vague job titles, fake tans, and eerily similar haircuts,” Gay writes.

“This is what set Mr. Rogers apart.

No one else would’ve done this. He goes, ‘Do you want to tell me what was upsetting you?’ “ @BREZNICAN, writer Anthony Breznican, sharing a story on Twitter about Fred Rogers of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” that went viral.

Breznican wrote about how he ran into Rogers in an elevator in college at a time when he felt lost in his life.

Although Breznican was a stranger, Rogers offered to listen to him.

As a “Carpool Karaoke” guest on Monday’s “The Late Late Show,” Katy Perry confirmed her rumored feud with Taylor Swift. “There’s a situation,” she told host James Corden when he asked about “Taylor beef.” She then disclosed her side of the story, in which Swift and Perry fought over their mutual backup dancers. “I tried to talk to her about it and she wouldn’t speak to me,” Perry said. “I do the right thing any time that it feels like a fumble.
