Metro scores a point in its largely imagined rivalry with NYC subway

Climate change won’t rest until it has taken every good thing away

A turtle given to a bedridden boy in 1968 marked her 50th birthday with noisemakers, a sheet cake and many well-wishers. Diane the turtle was given to Jim Tonner when he was 12 and being treated for hip arthritis in Braintree, Mass. Years later, Jim and his twin brother, Brad, opened a gift shop in Bristol, N.H., which became Diane’s home. On Saturday, the store was crowded with visitors singing “Happy Birthday” to Diane, who wore a tiny party hat. (AP)

Unseasonably mild temperatures stopped penguins from parading around the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium as planned. The zoo’s “Penguins on Parade” event usually kicks off each year at the start of December. But temperatures in the area were in the 50s and 60s over the weekend, so officials delayed the launch until Dec. 8. The zoo’s website says temperatures must hover below 45 degrees to be safe for the penguins. (AP)

Eight wards for eight nights RELIGION “For 8 nights,” the show’s program proclaims in bold letters, “D.C. stands for the District of Chanukah.” For Washington-based performance artist Brian Feldman, coincidences can be powerful inspiration — and the coincidence of Washington’s division into eight wards, and the Jewish holiday Hanukkah’s length of eight nights, launched a moving theatrical production taking place across the city throughout this week. Feldman is celebrating, and performing, Hanukkah onstage with his immediate family — each night in a different ward. The Night One production, in Ward 1’s Source Theatre, started just as the Jewish winter holiday began at sundown on Sunday night. Feldman kindled the ritual candles, and then he and his family recited what he says is his favorite Hebrew prayer: the Shehechiyanu, which marks a new beginning. T he Feld ma n cla n h as

performed a similar show, in which they eat a family dinner in front of a live audience, numerous times over the past 15 years in New York and at least half a dozen Florida cities. “It’s my favorite holiday. ... I like to share that with people,” Feldman said Sunday night. The family found theaters and art venues in six wards to host the show. In Wards 3 and 7, they’ll stage the production in private homes — meaning they can cook latkes live.

“There’s something about this piece that keeps bringing me back. I just want to spend time with my family.” BRIAN FELDMAN, a D.C.-based performance artist who is celebrating and performing Hanukkah onstage with his immediate family throughout the city’s eight wards this year

Each night, the Feldmans will donate $2 from each ticket (which cost $8 to $25, depending on the venue) to a charitable organization that works in that ward. Feldman’s idea for this show predates his career as a performance artist. He first thought of it, he said, when he was a professional child actor — and a bar mitzvah student. At 12, he wanted to do a skit after reading the Torah at his bar mitzvah and was inspired by “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” a Neil Simon show he had acted in, to suggest that he could do one of his favorite activities in front of an audience: eat dinner with his family. He suggested it at a family Shabbat dinner. At the time, his mother demurred, but she finally agreed 10 years later. That was the start of a 15-year on-and-off tradition for the Feldman family. Feldman said he still craves more opportunities to do what he likes best: eating and talking together. “We haven’t all been together for Hanukkah in five years,” he said Sunday night as they gathered around a menorah. He struck a match, lit a flame and began their holiday — and their show. JULIE ZAUZMER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Alsobrooks sworn in to lead Prince George’s PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY Angela Alsobrooks, who was sworn in Monday as the first woman to lead Prince George’s County, has what she calls an “open secret”: She intends to leave office having been the best county executive in Prince George’s history. “I want a double first — I want people to say, ‘She’s a woman and she’s the best we’ve ever had,’ ” Alsobrooks said in an interview. “You’ve got to outwork them.” Alsobrooks, who won the Democratic primary by nearly 40 points and faced no serious competition in the general election, has been building her new government for months — and thinking for years about what she would do as county executive. Former Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening, who served as Prince George’s county executive for 12 years, said Alsobrooks requested a meeting with him in 2016, when she was halfway through her second term as the county’s chief prosecutor and planning to run for the top job. He expected questions about how to win the 2018 election. Instead, he remembers her saying, “I think I can win this. But tell me what I can do to prepare.” p p

Their meeting lasted for two and half hours, and the two have remained in regular contact since. “Angela is probably one of the most prepared elected officials going into office that I am aware of,” Glendening said. Residents and elected officials alike say Alsobrooks will lead a county that is in a better place than it was when County Executive Rushern L. Baker III, D, took office eight years ago, when crime rates were up. “Rushern had to steady a ship that was going through a crisis,” said council member Derrick Leon Davis. “Angela inherits a much better situation.” Alsobrooks, a single mother,

walked into the inauguration ceremony Monday at the Showplace Arena in Upper Marlboro with her 13 year-old daughter, Alexandra, and thanked her parents and sister for their support. After receiving a standing ovation, Alsobrooks praised dramatic reductions in crime in the county during Baker’s tenure and the construction of a new hospital in Largo. Prince George’s “isn’t on the brink. … Prince George’s County has arrived,” she said. “I am so proud to declare today that we don’t need to compare ourselves to anyone — we are a model for others to follow.” RACHEL CHASON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A test MoCo didn’t win Md. county mourns losing Amazon headquarters bid, but many are still optimistic WASHINGTONPOST.COM EDUCATION

Bowser names pick to lead D.C. public schools

CLIFF OWEN (AP)

MONTGOMERY COUNTY Maryland’s pitch to land Amazon’s second headquarters started with a catered dinner at Bethesda’s homegrown Honest Tea company and continued with a top-floor view from a glitzy hotel. During Amazon executives’ two-day visit in March, Montgomery County leaders tried to showcase the best the suburb had to offer — diverse residents starting and growing companies, a top-ranked school system, and enough of a hip, urban vibe to attract millennials. Dangling over the proposal was the biggest financial carrot of any publicly known bid for what Amazon called its HQ2 — a state and local package of tax breaks, transportation investments and other perks valued at up to $8.5 billion. Moreover, Amazon’s point person on the search, Holly Sears Sullivan, worked to recruit companies to the county as president of what was the Montgomery Business Development Corporation. None of it was enough. Amazon split the project between Long Island City in Queens and Crystal City in Northern Virginia, renewing long-standing concerns about Maryland’s economic competitiveness, especially against its neighbor across the Potomac. Anirban Basu, chairman of the Maryland Economic Development Commission, said he has been left pondering, “Why would Amazon turn away billions of dollars in subsidies to go across the river?” Basu, an economic consultant appointed by Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, R, said he has concluded that Amazon must have rejected the state’s “antiquated” regulations and higher taxes for corporations and top-earning residents. Amazon has said salaries at the new headquarters will

average $150,000. Unlike those in Virginia, Maryland jurisdictions impose a local income tax in addition to the state tax. “One of the reasons Maryland created such a large incentive package for Amazon is because we know our business climate is not as competitive,” said Basu, whose Baltimore firm, the Sage Policy Group, conducted the state’s economic impact study of Amazon’s potential benefits but was not involved in the bid. “We know we need a massive package to attract them,” Basu said. “Even with that, Amazon said, ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’ ” Amazon founder and chief executive Jeffrey Bezos owns The Washington Post and Express. Stephen S. Fuller, an economist and professor at George Mason University, said he, too, believes Maryland and Montgomery, the state’s economic engine, have work to do. Losing the Amazon bid to

The amount Arlington and Virginia promised Amazon in direct subsidies for 25,000 jobs, plus investments totaling $223 million for transportation, including upgrading two Metro stations. Both will increase if Amazon creates more than 25,000 jobs. (TWP)

Northern Virginia “should be a confirmation of an ongoing problem, that [Montgomery] has lost its competitive edge in the region,” Fuller said. “It was still in the national finals, so it’s not a total defeat, but the county needs to understand what its competitive advantages are in the region and in the global economy. . . . It was a test, and they didn’t win.” If state and county leaders are

doing any soul-searching about losing the biggest economic development prize of a generation, they’re not saying so. They call Northern Virginia’s selection a win for the entire region as it continues to try to diversify beyond being a government town. Maryland, they say, is now primed to woo the smaller firms that are likely to follow Amazon. Timothy Firestine, Montgomery’s former chief administrative officer who led the Amazon bid, said the company didn’t tell him why the county’s proposed site, the White Flint area, came up short. But he said he was “ecstatic” Montgomery even made the top 20 list out of 238 bids, showing it was highly competitive. “We checked all the boxes,” Firestine said. “I don’t think we need to say, ‘Oh, my god, where did we fail?’ Instead, it should be, ‘We’re happy we made the top group.’ ” KATHERINE SHAVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday named the Indianapolis schools superintendent to be the next leader of D.C. Public Schools, passing over a school system veteran who guided the district through a turbulent year. Lewis D. Ferebee, who served for five years as superintendent in Indiana’s largest school system, will be D.C.’s sixth permanent school leader since 2000. He was one of two finalists, along with Amanda Alexander, a mainstay in the city’s schools for two decades. Alexander has been the school system’s interim chancellor since February and built a team of deputies. Bowser’s selection of Ferebee, which must be approved by the D.C. Council, marks a turning point for a system that endured a scandal-filled year and has operated without a permanent leader for nine months. The previous chancellor, Antwan Wilson, resigned under pressure in February after city leaders revealed he bypassed the competitive school placement system to transfer his daughter to a high-performing high school. In choosing Ferebee, who will earn $280,000 annually, Bowser appears to be signaling that she wants D.C. to remain on the course charted by recent chancellors. Ferebee, 44, holds similar education philosophies to his three predecessors: Wilson, Kaya Henderson and Michelle Rhee. PERRY STEIN (TWP)

Young ‘train nerd’ holds Metro’s feet to the fire over a busted escalator METRORAIL When Sam Mencimer was just 2, his parents would take him on Metro and he’d excitedly watch the trains go by. Over the years, the trains and how they operate turned into a fascination for the self-described “train nerd.” One night in November, for instance, he posted a picture on Twitter of the desk in his room. His lamp has a shade with Metro’s map on it, and his computer monitors displayed maps tracking trains on the Red, Orange, Blue, Green and Yellow lines. He also seems to know a lot about Metro’s new 7000-series cars. He gets teased for that by his friends at the BASIS DC charter school. “But it’s good-natured,” he said. “They’re all nerds, too.” As Mencimer, 14, has gotten older and become a regular commuter himself — taking the Green Line from his home near U Street to school by the Archives

Metro station — he sometimes gets frustrated. And like a lot of frustrated Metro riders, he sometimes takes to Twitter “to vent,” complaining one day that the headlight on his train was out, and on another day about a yellow cone on the tracks at U Street. (Granted, it’s sometimes difficult to say whether he’s acting like adult commuters, or if the adults on Twitter are acting like 14-year-olds.) But nothing was as frustrating for him as a day last month when Metro gave him a bit of fake news. He’d just gotten off the train at U Street after school when he noticed what seemed like a hazard on the escalator to the mezzanine: Duct tape was covering the emergency stop button. “I don’t want them to not be able to turn off the escalator if my shoe gets caught,” he recalled thinking. So he tweeted to Metro: “Why did you duct tape the emergency stop button cover closed?” Metro responded with two tweets the next day. “Hi, thanks for calling attention to this. We’ve shared your

tweet with our Escalator Maintenance team,” the first said. Then, “Hi, the duct tape has been removed from the stop switch. Thank you again for reaching out.” Mencimer wasn’t buying it. He says he didn’t inherit his skepticism from his parents, both of whom are reporters. (His father works for The Washington Post, but had no role in this story, except to give us permission to speak to his son.) He says he came by it on his own. He’d once told Metro an escalator at the U Station station wasn’t working. But Metro tweeted back that the

escalator was working. “It took a week of sending them pictures and videos for them to believe me,” he said. So the day after being told the tape was gone, he stopped on his way to school to look. The tape was still there. “Okay you are full of BS, it’s still there,” he tweeted to Metro, with another picture of the tapedup emergency button. “I wondered why,” he said as he stood by that same escalator last week. Why say it was gone when it wasn’t? Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said he really can’t explain. He

said the customer service representative who originally tweeted had been told that an escalator technician had gone to look and found no tape. The technician had even gone to the next stop at Shaw to look for the duct tape, but didn’t see any. “Based on that information, customer service provided a response,” Stessel said. But if it had been removed, why another tweet days later saying it had just been removed? Clearly, it had been there all along. “I’ve always known to take everything they say with a grain of salt,” Mencimer said. KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

leader who made a great difference in the life of this nation,” he said. “But he was also just a good man who was devoted to his wife, his family and his friends.” Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called Bush a hero and “a steady hand.” Political combatants set aside their fights to honor a Republican who led in a less toxic time. Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi, past and incoming House speaker, exchanged a warm hug with Bush’s eldest son, former President George W. Bush, and came away dabbing her face. Sent off from Texas with a 21-gun salute, Bush’s casket was carried to Joint Base Andrews outside Washington aboard an aircraft that often serves as Air Force One, on what was designated “Special Air Mission 41.”

MELINA MARA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WASHINGTON The nation’s capital embraced George H.W. Bush in death Monday with solemn ceremony and high tributes to his service and decency, as the remains of the 41st president took their place in the Capitol rotunda for three days of mourning and praise by the political elite and everyday citizens alike. With Bush’s casket atop the Lincoln Catafalque, first used for Abraham Lincoln’s 1865 funeral, dignitaries came forward to honor the Texan whose efforts for his country extended three-quarters of a century, from World War II through his final years as an advocate for volunteerism and relief for people displaced by natural disaster. President from 1989 to 1993, Bush died Friday at age 94. In an invocation opening Monday’s ceremony, the U.S. House chaplain, the Rev. Patrick J. Conroy, praised Bush’s commitment to public service, from Navy pilot to congressman, U.N. ambassador, envoy to China and then CIA director before being elected vice president and then president. “Here lies a great man,” said Rep. Paul Ryan, the House speaker, and “a gentle soul. ... His legacy is grace perfected.” Vice President Mike Pence spoke as well. “President Bush was a great

state in the Capitol for public visitation through Wednesday. An invitation-only funeral service is set for Wednesday at Washington National Cathedral. President Trump and first lady Melania Trump are expected to attend. At the request of Bush, funeral services will not include a formal funeral procession through downtown Washington.

China silent on trade truce TRADE China seems to have a markedly different view of the trade war cease-fire reached with the Trump administration over the weekend, with state media making no mention Monday of a 90-day time frame or a reduction in tariffs on imported American cars — or any specifics about buying more American products. That raises the prospect that the two sides have come away from their meeting in Argentina, on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit, with very different ideas about what comes next.

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS (AP)

State media, officials don’t mention details Trump had specified

The trade war cease-fire reached by Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Trump has been portrayed differently in the two countries.

Trump portrayed the agreement as a second chance for President Xi Jinping, saying he would give the Chinese leader 90 days to deal with the structural issues in the trading relationship — such as forced technology transfers and industrial espionage. If no deal is reached in that time frame, Trump said,

he would go ahead with raising tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese products from 10 to 25 percent. The People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, ran a photo on Monday of Trump and Xi. But the story said nothing about buying “very substantial” amounts of U.S. agricultural, industrial and

energy products, as the White House said, or the deadline. What Chinese state media did say was that the two sides would work to “gradually” decrease the trade imbalance — a statement that appears at odds with the rapid progress Trump wants. Asked specifically on Monday about the 90-day deadline, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang demurred. “I think you should focus on that we discussed and agreed,” he said. “We agreed to hold off on imposing new tariffs. This agreement is quite significant since it has stopped our trade dispute from escalating and also opens up new prospects for win-win cooperation.”

HEALTH Dentists who prescribe opioid painkillers to teenagers and young adults after pulling their wisdom teeth may be putting their patients at risk of addiction, a new study finds. The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine on Monday, shines a light on the overlooked role dental prescriptions play the opioid epidemic. Adolescents and young adults often are introduced to highly addictive opioid painkillers when they have their third molars pulled. Millions undergo the procedure every year, and dentists routinely prescribe opioids to the vast majority. Nearly 6 percent of almost 15,000 people between 16 and 25 years old who received initial opioid prescriptions in 2015 from dentists were diagnosed with opioid abuse within a year, the study found. In comparison, 0.4 percent in a similar group who didn’t get dental opioids were diagnosed with opioid abuse during the same period. The report is particularly troublesome for females. More than 10 percent of female 16- to 25-year-olds who received a dental opioid prescription in 2015 were diagnosed with opioid abuse within the year. Previous research has found that anti-inflammatory analgesics, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, generally work better than opioids at easing dental pain. RONNIE COHEN (TWP)

‘Just a lot of alarmism’

Center for American Progress Action Fund found that 61 percent of Republicans in Congress have in some way raised doubts about climate change, deflected the question, claimed that the climate is always changing or questioned the extent to which humans contribute to climate change. As a result, the two major political parties, which not long ago largely shared a fundamental view on the challenges posed by climate change, are now battling over the credibility of science and facts — a fight that is shaping up as a potentially defining issue of the 2020 presidential campaign. That Earth’s temperature is rising is not in dispute among

POLITICS Sen.-elect Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said falsely in the lead-up to her campaign that the Earth has started to cool, and argued inaccurately that scientists have not reached a consensus on climate change. In Florida, which has been pummeled by hurricanes, Sen.-elect Rick Scott has acknowledged that rising and warmer seas could be harmful to his state but won’t attribute it to human activity. And Sen. John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana told reporters last week that while the Earth may be getting hotter, “I’ve seen many persuasive arguments that it’s just a continuation of the warming up from the Little Ice Age.” As President Trump’s rejection of climate science isolates the U.S. on the world stage, illustrated by the small U.S. delegation dispatched to this week’s United Nations climate summit in Poland, he has also presided over a transformation in the Republican Party — placing climate change skepticism squarely in the GOP’s ideological mainstream. Where the last Republican president, George W. Bush, acknowledged that the Earth was warming and that “an increase in greenhouse gases caused by humans is contributing to the problem,” the prevailing GOP view expressed on the campaign trail this year and espoused by many members of Congress is built on the false premise that climate science is an open question. The House Climate Solutions Caucus, co-founded in 2016 by Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., and once thought of as a catalyst for climate-friendly legislation, lost 24 of its 45 Republican members to retirement or election defeat this year — including Curbelo. An analysis by the liberal

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday called climate change “the most important issue we face.” At the opening of the U.N. climate conference in Poland, Guterres told delegates from almost 200 countries: “Even as we witness devastating climate impacts causing havoc across the world, we are still not doing enough, nor moving fast enough, to prevent irreversible and catastrophic climate disruption.” (AP)

most scientists or other world leaders. A 2013 report that analyzed scientific papers studying climate change found that, of those papers that took a position on the matter, 97 percent endorsed the idea that humans are causing global warming. But after the U.S. government released its long-awaited climate assessment on Nov. 23, most Republicans followed Trump’s lead in downplaying the catastrophic warnings of more wildfires and flooding, damage to human health, and a substantial hit to the U.S. economy. “I think the real question, though, becomes what do you do about it? Because you can’t legislate or regulate your way into the past,” Sen. Ben Sasse, RNeb., said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Right now, you don’t hear a lot of people who put climate as a No. 1 issue, you don’t hear a lot of them offering constructive, innovative solutions for the future — it’s usually just a lot of alarmism.” Polling suggests there has been movement among the electorate. Nearly two-thirds of Republicans believe the world’s climate is changing, according to a recent Monmouth University survey, a jump from 49 percent three years ago. Among Democrats, 92 percent say that climate change is occurring — and 82 percent say they consider it “very serious.” “President Trump is becoming a real caricature of climate disputation,” said Bob Inglis, a former Republican congressman who now runs a group called republicEn that tries to convince conservatives to address climate change. “The public is coming to much greater awareness and understanding of the challenge, and he persists in this basically superstitious denial of the data.” MATT VISER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

New deadline to OK funding set for Dec. 21 POLITICS Congressional leaders and White House officials agreed Monday to extend a government funding deadline by two weeks, until Dec. 21, setting up the possibility of a shutdown showdown just ahead of Christmas. The decision, confirmed by aides involved in the talks, was made because of the observances surrounding the death of former President George H.W. Bush. The House has canceled all votes this week. The current deadline is midnight Friday, Dec. 7. The House and Senate are expected to approve the new deadline at some point this week. House and Senate aides spoke on the condition of anonymity to confirm the changed deadline, as they were not authorized to discuss deliberations. Under the new budget deadline, funding for the Homeland Security Department and a number of other federal agencies will expire Dec. 21 unless Congress sends President Trump spending legislation that he signs before then. Earlier this year, Congress passed spending bills funding about 75 percent of the government through next September, agreeing to big increases for the Pentagon, the Health and Human Services Department and other agencies. That means any shutdown would affect only the agencies whose budgets have not been approved. ERICA WERNER (TWP)

through a production cut in 2016 after prices fell below $30 a barrel. That’s unlikely to change, as the U.S. regained the throne of the world’s top oil producer. The decision was announced by Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, Qatar’s minister of state for energy affairs. He said Qatar, the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, planned to increase its exports from 77 million tons of gas per year to 110 million tons. He also said Qatar wants to raise its oil production. Qatar produces only about 600,000 barrels of crude oil a day, making it OPEC’s 11th-largest producer. The loss of production, under 2 percent of OPEC’s overall supply a day, won’t greatly affect the cartel’s position in the market. There was no comment from OPEC, which meets Thursday to discuss possible production cuts. JON GAMBRELL (AP)

MIDDLE EAST The tiny, energy-rich Arab nation of Qatar announced Monday that it will withdraw from OPEC in January, a rebuke of the Saudidominated cartel as the kingdom’s boycott of Doha continues unabated and a crucial meeting of the group looms this week. The surprise declaration could make Qatar the first Middle Eastern nation to leave OPEC since its founding in 1960. It again injects politics into an organization that long has insisted it is nonpartisan, stealing headlines as the cartel deliberates production cuts to halt a slide in global crude oil prices. Although Qatar contributes only a fraction of OPEC’s overall production, its decision throws into question the viability of the cartel. Once powerful enough to grind America to a halt with its 1970s oil embargo, OPEC needed non-members like Russia to push

CAPITALS AT GOLDEN KNIGHTS | 10 TONIGHT, NBCSWA

Stanley Cup carryover

Forget a championship hangover — the Capitals say their success helped them grow CAPITALS Soon after winning the Stanley Cup in June, Devante Smith-Pelly met teammates Brett Connolly and Tom Wilson for a summer skate in Toronto. “We all opened our [hockey] bags for the first time and they all still smelled like champagne,” Smith-Pelly recently recalled. “They were all sticky from the champagne. My shoulder pads were still wet.” The odor brought him back to Las Vegas and the night of June 7, when the Capitals were crowned Stanley Cup champions. “I’ll always remember the champagne showers that we did in the [dressing] room,” he said, “the hour we spent in the room, destroying it, really.” The Capitals visit the Vegas Golden Knights tonight (10, NBCSWA), their first trip to T-Mobile Arena since that epic evening. The Capitals return to the Strip with lasting memories, as well as a healthy swagger from last

year’s postseason run. Rather than suffering from the proverbial Stanley Cup hangover, the Capitals (15-8-3) recently moved atop the Metropolitan Division thanks to a seven-game winning streak that ended Sunday. If anything, a case can be made that the Capitals are experiencing a Stanley Cup carryover, as they reap the benefits of winning four rounds last spring. “I think there’s really no situation we haven’t gone through,” coach Todd Reirden said. “Now that we went through what we did last year as a group, we’re hardened to some situations.” When the Capitals won the Cup last spring, they acknowledged that they had handled adversity better than in years past. Among the challenges was winning with a shorthanded lineup. When the Capitals eliminated Pittsburgh in Round 2, Nicklas Backstrom and Andre Burakovsky were injured and Wilson was suspended.

Oshie, Orpik skip trip Forward T.J. Oshie, who suffered a concussion Nov. 14, didn’t join the Capitals on the three-game trip that begins tonight. He hasn’t skated since getting hurt and has missed eight games. Defenseman Brooks Orpik, who had arthroscopic knee surgery two weeks ago, didn’t travel, either. He will miss at least two more weeks. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

It’s an experience the Capitals say they have relied on this season. The recent seven-game winning streak was played entirely without veterans T.J. Oshie and Brooks Orpik. Evgeny Kuznetsov missed the first six games. “Guys jumping into the lineup and helping out is nothing new,” Smith-Pelly said. “We’ve done it at the highest stage, so we weren’t too worried if guys could step up.” Last year’s playoff MVP, Alex Ovechkin, also has picked up where he left off. Ovechkin,

33, is averaging 1.23 points per game — his highest total since 2009-10 — while continuing to play a 200-foot game the way he did last spring. “This for me is the best twoway hockey I’ve seen him play in the regular season,” Reirden said. The 2018-19 Capitals say they believe they still haven’t hit their stride. Thanks to injuries and suspension, they’ve yet to play a game with their optimal lineup. Still, they’ve shown themselves to be a resilient bunch. Five times during their seven-game winning streak, the Capitals rallied from behind. Twice they overcame multi-goal deficits. “It feels different,” Matt Niskanen said. “We got pushed to the brink numerous times last spring where when we needed a response or we absolutely had to have our best game, we’d get it. So I think it’s just a mentality and belief that we can do it.”

3 Two paths to playoffs The Ravens now hold the AFC’s second wild card, and are a half-game behind the Steelers (7-4-1) in the AFC North after Pittsburgh’s collapse against the Chargers.

2 Throwback defense The Ravens lead the NFL in average points allowed (17.8) and yards allowed (281.7). Linebackers Terrell Suggs, 36, and Za’Darius Smith, 26, each have 6.5 sacks.

1 Huge test for Jackson Even if Flacco (hip) is healthy, it would be hard to bench Jackson now. But the Ravens on Sunday visit the Chiefs (10-2), and Jackson hasn’t faced a team near that level.

Task for Packers: Rebuild on the fly Rodgers’ age and salary mean they can’t afford to take too much time ANALYSIS Here is one way to sum up the state of the Green Bay Packers: At 4-7-1, they have the same record as the Cleveland Browns. No wonder they axed coach Mike McCarthy — whose relationship with Aaron Rodgers clearly had soured — hours after an embarrassing home loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Green Bay’s challenge now is to overhaul on the fly. That’s mandatory because of Rodgers’ age (he turned 35 on Sunday) and salary (he signed a four-year, $134 million extension this offseason). The first thing the Packers must do is find a coach who jives with Rodgers. Despite his brilliance, he’s not easy to coach. McCarthy will lament how he and Rodgers fell off the same page, as Rodgers’ improvisational genius prevented McCarthy from establishing a routine as a playcaller. But Rodgers’ ability to extend plays shouldn’t be an obstacle. The Packers’ next coach needs to be able to utilize and embrace it, not view it as a frustration. For his part, Rodgers needs to understand how to blend his talent

with the modern game. Schematic innovation and new rules inhibiting defensive contact mean every quarterback can complete more passes. Rodgers could take better advantage of those changes rather than relying so often on his remarkable ability to escape defenders. The Packers must build around Rodgers, not just rely on him to prop them up. They were wise to let aging receiver Jordy Nelson go, but they never replaced him. They may have finally found a running back in Aaron Jones, whose role McCarthy often limited. Improving the roster will fall to first-year GM Brian Gutekunst — who also must find a coach.

HEALTH ADVICE

Wellness at work Employer-sponsored health initiatives are most effective when bosses gets on board WELLNESS Reebok employee Dan Sarro used to worry that co-workers would look askance at him if he arrived at work at 9:30 a.m. Then, as part of a company wellness overhaul, senior management at Reebok established “core” business hours. Meetings aren’t held before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., and employees set their work schedules around those hours. Sarro, a senior corporate communications manager who plays hockey a few mornings a week before starting his workday, welcomed the change. “When I first started ... I had to be careful about when I worked out,” he says. “Now, it’s just part of who we are.” Studies have shown that successfully adopting a culture that

promotes health and wellness can help companies reduce health care costs, cut absentee rates and perhaps attract top talent. One decade-long analysis by the research organization Rand Corp. of a Fortune 100 employer’s wellness program found that the disease management component generated savings of $136 per member every month, driven largely by a 30 percent reduction in employees’ hospital admissions. Wellness programs that help control diseases and related risk factors make employees less likely to miss work because of an illness or injury, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And in a Gallup poll of 195,000 U.S. employees, respondents listed work-life balance and better

personal well-being as the second-most-important factor when considering a new job, even over increased income. At least half of all U.S. employers with at least 50 employees provide some type of wellness program for their workforce, according to the Rand survey. But results seem to depend less on actual program components and more on whether leadership buys into these programs and effectively communicates their support to employees, as has been the case at Reebok. When Reebok built its new headquarters in Boston in 2017, the company included a two-story,

on-site fitness center that offers fitness classes for employees throughout the day. According to Sarro, managers encourage employees to block off gym time on their calendars; some even schedule occasional team workouts during the workday. “We want to be the brand that gets people moving, so we had to walk the walk,” Sarro says. It appears to be working: Sarro says that nearly all Reebok employees engage regularly in some form of physical activity. In 2012, Johns Hopkins Medicine hired a practitioner with a background in prevention and disease management, to oversee its employee health plan. Soterios Reppas, a 49-year-old information technology professional at Hopkins, has taken advantage of several of the new offerings. He attended a free three-month class at his Baltimore office that promoted healthy diet and lifestyle changes. Before signing up, Reppas had to get his supervisor’s approval to take a paid two-hour hiatus from his work each week. “He says, ‘Go for it.’ He was all in,” Reppas recalls. Reppas has since lost more than 25 pounds and no longer needs to take medication for high cholesterol. ELIZABETH HEUBECK

Many people who follow a gluten-free diet aren’t doing it for medical reasons — such as celiac disease — yet some still insist it makes them feel better. But many researchers believe people who think they can’t tolerate gluten are actually sensitive to fructans, a carbohydrate composed of chains of fructose, the simple sugar found in honey and fruit. Fructans are found in wheat and onions, as well as other grains and vegetables. Humans have limited ability to digest fructans in the small intestine. That means they’re still intact when they reach the large intestine, where gut bacteria break them down. In some people, this can cause gas, bloating and sometimes diarrhea. But we don’t all need to avoid fructans — only do so if you have a confirmed sensitivity. CARRIE DENNETT DENNE E TT T (TW (TWP) T W P)) TW

I put these people on a pedestal and lose my confidence. Although I would be interested in talking to them the most, I talk to them the least because of how intimidated I am.

Is it time to talk about the wine? Q. How do you know when frequent drinking is too much? My girlfriend is never sloppy drunk, but she NEEDS her wine at the end of each day. In the past, I viewed it as just part of a ritual with dinner. But lately she’s antsy without it, and it’s the first thing she goes to after work. I don’t want to raise any needless alarm bells by talking to her until I know it’s a real issue.

I think you can talk about this to her without sounding a fullscale Substance Abuse Alarm, and your opening is the antsiness. Why not bring that up for its own sake? After all, if she is feeling tense and uneasy after work, that’s a problem regardless. If it’s about alcohol, it most definitely needs to be brought up — worry about alarms be darned. But it could also be about anxiety, work stress,

physical health issues or any number of things, in which case it’s worth bringing up as well. Some version of “I’ve noticed you’ve seemed on edge lately. Are you doing all right? I want to listen” can get the conversation going. And then you can gradually make the connection that whatever the problem is, there are likely more helpful ways of addressing it than with a glass of cabernet.

This is a particular flavor of social anxiety, with a side of platonic crush. It can be eased just like social anxiety in general can — by nudging yourself through reasonable exposures that eventually help you relax through interactions. Think of it as Systematic Desensitization Lite, Workplace Idol Version. Make a goal each day or each lunch hour: to ask one question of Mr./Ms. Intimidating, share one story with the whole group that particularly applies to that person, make a bit more eye contact or connect more deeply with the group as a whole. You can also work cognitively to knock these people off their pedestals (not cruelly, of course) and just let them be real humans. No doubt they get stomach viruses, say occasional stupid things and lose their car keys just like the rest of us do. Send questions to Dr. Andrea Bonior at baggage@wpost .com.

Nasty women take center stage in ’18 FILM In “The Favourite,” Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone play three women sparring, seducing and strategizing their way through the corridors of power in 18th-century England. More cynical than the bleakest “House of Cards” episode and with twice as many deliciously nasty zingers, “The Favourite” is just the latest sprout in a bumper crop of movies depicting women, if not at their best, then at least in

some form of sisterly solidarity. From the depraved sisterhood of “Suspiria” to Viola Davis coolly leading a team of henchwomen in “Widows,” 2018 is shaping up to be a year singularly devoted to the vicarious pleasures of feminist troublemaking. The trend is clear: Good girls are Out. Difficult women are decidedly In. Interestingly, many if not most of these movies were conceived and greenlit a few years ago, when their producers no doubt thought that they’d be perfectly timed to celebrate America’s first female president. Not only did that not come to pass, but the Harvey Weinstein scandal and

entertainment Q&A | N.K. JEMISIN

Jemisin shows how to reach for the stars Author N.K. Jemisin has been busy: Since publishing her “Broken Earth” trilogy-ending novel “The Stone Sky” in 2017, she has edited “The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2018” and last week released the short story collection “How Long ’til Black Future Month?” The collection revisits many of the themes Jemisin has explored

over the course of her more than 20-year career — and does so in a format that’s important to her: She began writing short stories as a way to tap into her creativity, back when publishers didn’t know what to do with books like hers about black characters. “This is one of the reasons, I guess, to be glad for the attention,” she says. “Maybe my success can open more doors.” After two decades, does it really feel like your career has come together?

Variety: Movie musical featuring Prince songs in the works

This is more than I ever expected out of my writing career. I really just wanted to be able to pay the rent. And I would have been content to be able to pay the rent.

Your work often explores whether humanity should be saved. Why is that compelling? Any writer that pays attention to human history is going to understand what we are capable of and be like, ugh, so many of those problems are of our own creation and can be easily solved by us just doing what is sensible

as opposed to what feels good.

LAURA HANIFIN

The sci-fi author hopes her success can open doors for black writers

N.K. Jemisin is the author of “How Long ’til Black Future Month?”

HBO orders Stephen King series “The Outsider,” starring Ben Mendelsohn

How do you approach race in the characters you craft? As a black writer, I have a responsibility to try and create more space for black characters. I don’t always do so. I also want to retain the space to write whatever I want to write because there is always the danger of black authors being forced to write black characters, and that literally has happened in some genres. And I refuse to allow that to happen to me. EVERDEEN MASON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can fill in the blanks today by employing your imagination, especially in situations that take you by surprise. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may lose your bearings today, and you must trust a friend to help you reorient yourself. You can return the favor soon.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A chance encounter proves entertaining to some degree today, but you’ll still be left with something undone — or unsaid, perhaps. Tend to it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might have to repeat yourself in order to be understood fully today. Your audience might not be used to you taking command.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You can combine the mental and the physical with great success today, as you tackle something that requires more effort than usual.

TODAY: Mostly sunny but more like a midwinter day. Highs struggle to pass 40 degrees and winds from the northwest gust over 20 mph at times. Wind chills for much of the day hover in the 30s. Increasing clouds tonight with a slight chance of snow showers or flurries toward morning. Lows range from 25 to 30.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll benefit from more time to yourself today as you let someone else take charge of something that is usually up to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to make yourself available to those who may have questions, but you must stop short of stepping in and doing what they must do.

Halsey called out the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show after Ed Razek, an executive at parent company L Brands, said last month that he didn’t think the event should include transsexuals because “the show is a fantasy.” Taking to Instagram after appearing in Sunday’s broadcast, Halsey wrote: “After I filmed the performance, some comments were made regarding the show that I simply cannot ignore. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have no tolerance for a lack of inclusivity.” The singer also wrote that she had made a donation to LGBT nonprofit GLSEN. (EXPRESS)
