OBAMA COMMUTES 61 SENTENCES, BRINGING TOTAL TO 248

1

President Barack Obama on Wednesday commuted the sentences of 61 federal prisoners serving time for drug crimes, bringing his total commutations to 248 individuals, which the White House said was more than the previous six presidents combined. The move reflects Obama’s push to reform the criminal justice system to reduce the number of people serving long sentences for nonviolent drug crimes, reforms that have garnered bipartisan support from lawmakers.

“Throughout the remainder of his time in office, the president is committed to continuing to issue more grants of clemency as well as to strengthening rehabilitation programs,” White House Counsel Neil Eggleston said in a blog post announcing the decision. REUTERS

US JURY FINDS GM IGNITION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE

2

General Motors sold vehicles with a defective ignition switch, but the part was not to blame for a 2014 car accident, a jury found on Wednesday in the first verdict since the company was forced to recall millions of vehicles. The verdict in a two-week trial in Manhattan was announced after the eight jurors deliberated less than a day to decide that a Saturn Sky in the car crash on a bridge in New Orleans was “unreasonably dangerous” and that GM failed to warn the public about its safety risks. The case was selected to serve as a bellwether, or test, for several hundred similar injury and death cases involving the switch, which can slip out of place, causing engines to stall and cutting power to the brake, steering and air bag systems.

SAMSUNG REDISCOVERING ITS MOBILE MOJO WITH GALAXY S7

3

Early indications of stronger-than-expected sales of new Galaxy S7 smartphones suggest technology giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd is emerging from a two-year decline at its flagship mobile business. Squeezed by Apple Inc in premium products and undercut by Chinese rivals like Huawei [HWT.UL] in cheaper devices, Samsung’s smartphone profits and global market share have fallen and sapped momentum at South Korea’s most valuable company.

But several brokerages on Wednesday upgraded first-quarter forecasts for what is still the world’s top smartphone maker, citing a strong start for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge premium phones that were launched earlier this month. REUTERS

Boston’s NUTRONs aim to be bot champs Brainy teens behind a ball-hurling bot face-off in their home city before heading to world championships.

SPENCER BUELL @MetroBOS

spencer.buell@metro.us

The way to earn points in this year’s FIRST Robotics competition is to fling a foam ball through a hole.

This is done after piloting a robot over obstacles, like a rumbly strip of bumps or a doorway that must be opened and scurried through.

The goals up high are worth five points. The ones down low? Three.

And the NUTRONs, a team drawing from five Boston-area high schools with a fighting chance at the 2016 world championship, aims high.

“A lot of teams don’t have success with their robots like we do,” said Brandon Holley, their very proud head coach.

After earning the top prize at a competition in Arizona, the NUTRONs’ brainy high school robot engineers are competing in their home city this weekend, squaring off with other teams at the Agganis Arena. Next

month, they head to the big annual championship in St. Louis.

At their headquarters Tuesday in a lab at Northeastern University, the clock was ticking. Teams get just six hours total between matches to tinker with their robots. The NUTRONs pulled their bot, “Escape Velocity,” out of a bag and got to work.

Part of the focus was patching the damage a rival robot caused in the ring at a district face-off last weekend in Rhode Island. A dozen hands worked quickly to tighten bolts and snap replacement parts in place.

Earlier this year, the team had six weeks to design, build, test and tweak their robot — first arranging its pieces with 3-D software, then making its metal frame and connecting all its wires and pistons.

The NUTRONs tried eight versions of a catapult system before settling on their winning design: The robot lurches up at a 60-degree angle, then metal jaws flick forward and whip it into the air.

Among their complex tools is Escape Velocity’s handmade optical system.

An LED ring emits

a green light, which bounces off reflective tape around the targets. A camera feeds data to the robot about where to aim.

“Whenever we’re ready to shoot, all we have to do is press one button,” said team co-captain Camilo Gonzalez. 17.

Unless something breaks or another robot slams into theirs, they don’t miss.

Several of the team members plan to pursue careers in engineering.

It’s a well-worn path, from FIRST to a job in the field.

called, ‘How do you make a really, really straight line?’” he said, holding a black marker in his free hand.

The answer? The table is already flat, so use that.

Even though they’ve been successful, it’s passion that drives the NUTRONs, said Holley, also an engineer and former FIRST competitor.

They win because they meet almost every day, hacking away at the bot and its programming.

“They’re doing it for the right reasons, which makes it a lot more special,” Halley said.

“The work they’re doing off the field they’re doing because they genuinely want to.”

That’s how Peter Ha, a 16-year-old sophomore from Brookline High, described it, too.

“This has been eating up the vast majority of my free time, whereas otherwise I’d be at home playing video games,” Ha said, standing among the wooden targets the team uses for practice. “Now I’m spending a lot of my time here actually building something. It’s something tangible we have actually made.”

“The work they’re doing off the field, they’re doing because they genuinely want to.” Halley Henry Sick, a team coach and former FIRST competitor, now works for a Fort Point LED lightengineering startup. He’s been volunteering with the Northeastern team since he graduated, and feels like it’s his duty to do for other young learners what mentors did for him.

On Tuesday, he held a plastic tube and walked young team members through turning it into ball-corralling auger.

Convenience store owners protest ban on flavored tobacco Dozens of local convenience store owners rallied outside of Boston City Hall on Wednesday. NICOLAUS CZARNECKI

The group says the city’s product ban will hurt their businesses.

SPENCER BUELL @MetroBOS

spencer.buell@metro.us

Scores of convenience store owners rallied outside City Hall on Wednesday morning protesting a citywide ban on selling flavored tobacco products.

The protest comes after the Boston Public Health Commission voted unanimously in December to raise the minimum age for buying tobacco to 21 and restrict sales of sweet nicotine products to retailers accessible only to adults — an effort to fight back against the allure of candy- or fruit-flavored products and keep kids from picking up smoking habits.

The demonstration was being led by the Boston Convenience Store Owners Association (BCSOA), whose leaders said they support other tobacco reforms like the 21-plus law, but not this one.

“You can go into a liquor store and buy a flavored nip — candy, gummy bear-flavored nip — if you’re 21. But if you’re 21 and you’re an adult and you want to smoke a vanilla-flavored cigar, you can’t do that,” said Luis Blanco, the group’s spokesman and owner of the Don Quijote Market in the South End. “That’s what we’re fighting for, to be on an even playing field.”

Tobacco is not a small slice of local stores’ profits.

Owners said 30 percent or more of their business comes from selling cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and other wares.

And many of their customers who buy tobacco also pick up grocery items while they’re there.

“We do serve our community — bread, cheese, milk, sugar, coffee — we have the right to serve them tobacco, too,” said BCSOA President Francisco Marte. “We’re fighting for our rights, for our business, for our stores.”

They argued that customers frustrated by fewer choices at the corner store might go to neighboring communities, and

that banning flavored tobacco would stoke a black market for the goods.

Nabi Ahamad, who owns East Boston Variety near the Revere border, said of his $5,000 in daily sales, about $2,000 is from tobacco.

“What if people come in to complain? Then my business goes to Revere.

I lose my business,” Ahamad said.

“We didn’t do anything wrong,” said Mohammed Alazad, who owns Mama Supermarket in Mattapan.

But city leadership appears lined up in favor of the ban.

“Increasing the restrictions on the sale of flavored tobacco products are the right next step for us to be taking to protect the health of Boston’s young people,” Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said in a statement Wednesday. “We know the consequences of tobacco use are real and can be devastating, especially among youth, and these policy changes will protect Boston’s young people from dangerous health concerns. I appreciate the concerns of the retailers and we have valued the perspective of these business owners at all stages of adopting and implementing these rules. “ Board of Health Chair Paula Johnson and Huy Nguyen, who at the time was the Public Health Commission’s interim executive director, argued the same point in December when the ban was approved.

Nearly 50 municipalities in Massachusetts have adopted similar bans.

BRIEF Boston man charged with forging verdict slip A Boston man who was convicted in 2014 of stealing a laptop from his law school but spent no time in prison could be looking at 20 years behind bars after prosecutors charged him with tampering with the verdict slip from his trial.

Former Suffolk University law student David Scher, 33, was charged Wednesday with crimes

including perjury for allegedly removing the original verdict slip, which the jury foreperson had checked “guilty,” from his case file, copying and replacing it with a forged version with “not guilty” checked, prosecutors said.

After doing that, Scher filed a complaint with the state Department of Criminal Justice Information Services, contending that he had been found not

guilty at trial and the court record was inaccurate, according to the Suffolk County district attorney’s office.

His attorney later appealed a decision by the law school to deny Scher a diploma over the laptop theft, citing the new “not guilty” verdict form.

Scher pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to charges that included tampering with a court document, forgery and

two counts of uttering a false document. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 20 years in state prison.

His original sentence of 90 days for the laptop theft had been suspended by the judge in that case for two years.

An attorney for Scher could not be reached for comment.

The original “guilty” verdict slip has not been recovered, prosecutors said. REUTERS

RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE

Trump, Kasich ditch GOP loyalty pledge Trump on Wednesday stuck by his decision to abandon the pledge, saying the Republican Party had not treated him fairly.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump and his two rivals, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, backed away from their pledges to support the eventual nominee, potentially setting the stage for a deeply divided party and a chaotic convention in July.

Trump said that if he becomes the party’s nominee for the Nov. 8 general election, he did not care if Cruz supported him.

“I don’t really care whether or not Cruz endorses me,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News.

“The only ones supporting me that I care about are the people.”

Candidates had agreed to support the party’s nominee earlier in the campaign, but Trump and Ohio Gov. Kasich both abandoned the pledge

on Tuesday night during town halls televised by CNN. “If the nominee is somebody that I think is really hurting the country … I can’t stand behind them,” Kasich said.

Cruz, a senator from Texas, did not explicitly abandon the pledge but said Trump wasn’t going to be the nominee. “We’re going to beat him,” he said.

The crumbling of the pledge prompted questions about whether the party can unite behind a general election candidate and speculation that the Republican convention in Cleveland could erupt in chaos.

The Republican National Committee on Wednesday did not comment on the candidates’ new stances.

“The pledge is simple, each candidate agreed to run as a Republican and support the nominee. We are confident that Republicans will unite to defeat [Democratic front-runner] Hillary Clinton,” committee spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said in an email.

Trump is running an insurgent campaign that has alarmed many in the party establishment. Opponents have criticized not just his proposals on issues such as trade and immigration but his stream of insults toward rivals and the aggressive tone of his rallies.

On Tuesday, rivals criticized his reaction after Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery over an incident with a reporter earlier in the month. REUTERS

Poll: Most support torture against terror suspects Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe torture can be justified to extract information from suspected terrorists, according to an online Reuters/Ipsos poll, a level of support similar to that seen in countries like Nigeria where militant attacks are common.

The poll reflects an American public on edge after the massacre of 14 people in San Bernardino, California, in December and large-scale attacks in Europe in recent months, including a bombing claimed by the militant group Islamic State last week that killed at least 32 people in Belgium.

Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2016 Republican presidential

nomination, has forcefully injected the issue of whether terrorism suspects should be tortured into the election campaign.

Trump has said he would seek to roll back President Barack Obama’s ban on waterboarding — a technique that simulates drowning that human rights groups contend is illegal under the Geneva Conventions.

Trump has also vowed to “bring back a hell of a lot

worse” if elected.

Trump’s stance has drawn broad criticism from human rights organizations, world bodies and political rivals. But the poll findings suggest that many Americans are aligned with Trump on the issue, although the survey did not ask respondents to define what they consider torture.

The March 22-28 online poll asked respondents if torture can be justified “against suspected terrorists to obtain information about terrorism.” About 25 percent said it is “often” justified while another 38 percent it is “sometimes” justified. Only 15 percent said torture should never be used. REUTERS

US to deploy armored brigade combat teams to Europe in 2017 This will bring the total U.S. Army presence on the continent to three fully manned brigades.

The U.S. military said on Wednesday that it would deploy rotations of U.S.based armored brigade combat teams to Europe, part of a wider effort to counter what the United States sees as Russian aggression on the continent.

The teams will be on nine-month rotations starting in February 2017, and will conduct military exercises across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, according to a statement from U.S. European Command.

Each unit rotating in will bring equipment that

is more modern and will ultimately replace the current training equipment in Europe. A typical U.S. Army armored brigade has about 4,500 soldiers.

The decision means U.S. allies will “see a more frequent presence of an armored brigade with more modernized equipment in their countries,� said Gen. Philip Breedlove, commander of U.S. European Command.

The United States has budgeted to sharply boost

military training and exercises aimed at reassuring European countries concerned about Russia, which seized Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula in 2014 and has worried NATO allies with its strategic bomber flights.

Current equipment used in Europe will be upgraded and stored in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and will allow for “additional combat power, if and when needed,� the military said. REUTERS

Firms target investment in Israeli cannabis R&D Already a pioneer in hightech and cutting-edge agriculture, Israel is starting to attract American companies looking to bring medical marijuana know-how to a booming market back home.

Since 2014, U.S. firms have invested about $50 million in licensing Israeli medical marijuana patents, cannabis agro-tech startups and firms developing delivery devices such as inhalers, said Saul Kaye, CEO of iCAN, a private cannabis research hub. “I expect it to grow to $100 million in the coming year,� Kaye said at iCAN’s CannaTech conference in Tel Aviv this month, one of the largest gatherings of medical marijuana experts.

Scientists say strict rules, some set by the Drug Enforcement Administration, limit cannabis studies in the United States, where the

legal marijuana market is valued at $5.7 billion and expected to grow to $23 billion by 2020. “In the United States, it’s easier to study heroin than marijuana,� said U.S. psychiatrist Suzanne Sisley, who has researched the effects of cannabis as a treatment for American military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. “With marijuana you have to go through added layers of government red tape. It highlights the way marijuana research is be-

ing shackled by politics,� said Sisley, director of medicinal plant research at Heliospectra.

While scientific exploration may be restricted, 23 U.S. states now permit medical cannabis, and recreational use is allowed in four states and Washington, D.C. This is despite the fact that at the federal level, marijuana is still classified as a dangerous narcotic with no medicinal value.

In Israel, marijuana is an illegal drug and only 23,000 people have Health Ministry permits to purchase medical cannabis from nine licensed suppliers, creating a market of $15 million to $20 million at most.

But Israeli authorities are liberal when it comes to research. Growers work with scientific institutions in clinical trials and development of strains that treat a variety of illnesses and disorders. REUTERS

Safety features in your car that you may not know about “Technology can be a game-changer when it comes to safety.”

STATEPOINT

Today’s vehicles come with an abundance of features and technologies that can aid drivers, make passengers more comfortable and provide real-time information about a vehicle’s health.

Most importantly, many vehicle technologies today are designed with safety in mind and have the potential to save lives.

The trouble is, too many drivers do not realize these features exist or know how to use them to their full potential.

A recent University of Iowa study found 40 percent of drivers have been

startled or surprised by something their vehicle has done — a troubling finding given that car crashes are a leading cause of preventable death in the United States.

“Technology can be a game-changer when it comes to safety,” said Deborah A.P. Hersman, president and CEO of the National Safety Council. “In order to fully recognize the benefits of these new systems, drivers need to be aware of them and also understand their limitations.”

With this need in mind, NSC partnered with the University of Iowa to launch “My Car Does What” — a virtual owner’s manual that demystifies the latest, most cutting-edge vehicle features.

For a full list of vehicle safety technologies, explanatory videos,

The campaign’s website, MyCarDoesWhat.org, highlights technologies such as: • Back-up cameras that provide a view of the blind zone directly behind the car when the vehicle is in reverse • Blind spot monitors that alert drivers when something is in their blind spot • Forward collision warnings that warn drivers when they are closing in on the vehicle ahead too quickly • Automatic emergency braking systems that apply the brakes if the system detects an imminent collision • Antilock braking systems that prevent wheels from locking up, helping to avoid

graphics and articles, visit MyCarDoesWhat. org.

“The driver will always be a car’s best safety feature; no tech-

uncontrolled skidding and providing some steering control in slippery conditions • Rear cross traffic alerts that warn drivers if traffic is approaching from the left or right when the vehicle is in reverse • Adaptive cruise control that maintains the speed set by the driver and a preset following distance • Lane departure warnings that alert drivers if they drift into another lane when the turn signal is not activated.

nology today will change that,” Hersman said.

“But these features can help mitigate errors before they result in deaths and injuries.”

There are endless digital resources out there when it comes to car research, from smartphone apps like Consumer Reports’ Car Buying Guide to online Kelley Blue Book reports. But when it comes to researching a car, Automatch Consulting’s Tom McParland says buyers can never arm themselves with too much information. The veteran auto adviser listed a few of the best resources when it comes to researching before setting foot on a lot or evaluating a car in-person.

The Long-Term Quality Index

Recommended by McParland because the index’s creator, Steven Lang, “did an amazing amount of research on all types of used cars that came in through auction sales, and what some of the issues that he found with them over time and the predicted reliability — wonderful, wonderful research.” Use this website to find out how cars hold up long-term and to help predict what types of costs you may run into down the road due to normal wear and tear. (longtermqualityindex.com)

True Delta McParland likes this site because it is full of “real reporting from people that own the cars. Somebody can come in and look at what real owners are spending and what real owners are experiencing with their cars as they get higher up in

the miles.” Use True Delta as an up-closeand-personal resource.

The site is chock full of first-hand accounts from drivers and car owners who have owned the same makes and models potential buyers could be evaluating. (truedelta.com)

Popular Mechanics’ used-car checklist app McParland says this app is “a wonderful checklist that you can just print out and it keeps you organized. ... It has certain areas, where if you’ve checked this box, you’ve already hit a red flag and you should run away. And at the end of the checklist, there’s a score.”

The score at the end of the checklist helps determine whether the car is worth pursuing or if it’s best to move onto the next vehicle on your list. Upload this app or

bring out a printed copy of the checklist when you visit to take a test drive.

App: Available from Hearst Communications in the app store (free)

Consumer Reports McParland recommends reading Consumer

Reports articles and lists regarding certain makes and models before buying a used car because “there’s always risk involved. The idea is to manage the risk as much as possible and to minimize the risk as much as possible.

So the first step is to choose cars that have

a data-backed history of good reliability.” Use their correlating app to research a car’s reliability, price out a specific make and model, and as a leveraging tool when you’re negotiating with a salesperson. (consumerreports.org) App: Available from Consumer Reports in the app store (free)

So you want to buy a used car...

First-time buyers — listen up.

EMILY WRIGHT @missemilywright

Nothing says “Welcome to the real world” like a monthly car payment.

Professional car-buying consultant Tom McParland of Automatch Consulting recently dished on his tips for soon-to-be degree-holding 20-somethings who are ready to tackle the world — and the used-car lots.

McParland’s first rule is one that shouldn’t be foreign to recent college grads and first-time buyers: Do your research.

“The key thing with buying a vehicle, whether you’re buying a $5,000 car, $50,000 car or above, is to do the research,” McParland says. “You want to be armed with information, because the dealerships either aren’t going to tell you or sometimes some of them, frankly, just don’t

know.

“A salesman just can’t be expected to know every single thing about every make and model out there, so the idea is to focus on the stuff that you’re interested in, what is going to be a good fit for you. Really do the research to see what that model is all about and what you can expect from it.”

That research starts with looking online for specific dealerships and their used-car inventories. But depending on the budget of the buyer, not all cars will be listed online. Shoppers’ best bet may be to visit a lot on the weekend, McParland says, but he advises his clients to stay away from “buy-here, pay-here lots” and to stay vigilant.

“When you’re buying a preowned car, we have a saying that [salespeople are] guilty until proven innocent, so you want to come in there with a lot of vigilance and sus-

ISTOCK

picion,” McParland adds.

“You can never be too cautious.”

When it’s time to take a vehicle for a test drive, if a would-be purchaser can bring someone with them to offer support, McParland recommends it.

“You’ve really got to know what you’re doing and bring along somebody you trust,” he advises. “If you don’t have somebody within your circle that is knowledgeable about cars, the best thing I can tell that person is,

that when they find something they think they like, take it to a mechanic — a trusted mechanic — and get it inspected.”

The cost of a prepurchase inspection may seem steep, but that “$100 investment could really

pay dividends” when it comes to getting some perspective on the car’s integrity. The mechanic’s insight could even help to negotiate the price down, depending on notes he or she can give on the vehicle’s wear.

Tips to make family road trips smooth sailing Keep your travel companions comfortable and content.

STATEPOINT

Hitting the road with the family? Experts say there’s no reason to view the journey itself as a pre-vacation chore.

“Travel doesn’t just have to be about getting to where you’re going,” says Tara Trompeter, managing editor at Autotrader. “Family time in the car can be a great opportunity for making memories and a little bit of planning before you get on the road will go a long way toward filling the experience with more fun and laughter for everyone involved.”

To keep road warriors comfortable and content on their drives, Autotrader editors are offering some of their top travel tips.

Prepare your vehicle

plan for extra travel time, and you’ll have a better chance of arriving safely and stress-free.

Do a quick check on the essentials before you head out. Check the wear and pressure on your tires, and be sure your fluids (oil, coolant and wiper fluid) are topped off.

Consider an upgrade

Make it an adventure Just because you have an ultimate destination doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fun stuff in between. Check your route for family-friendly stops along the way, such as a zoo, park or even toy store to give kids something to look forward to while breaking the trip into manageable pieces.

Keep little ones engaged Technology features like built-in screens and DVD players can be saviors on the road. If your car doesn’t come

ISTOCK

equipped with these, consider bringing along a hand-held device on which little ones can play games or watch videos. And if technology isn’t your thing, remember that magnetized board games and word games can work just as well.

Bring snacks Greasy food isn’t the best for staying alert — or feeling good — while road tripping. Instead of relying on fast food, bring lots of healthful snacks to keep kids (and adults) content. Great options include fruits and

vegetables that are easy to eat and fuss-free, like carrots, bananas and apples.

Have patience!

Between road congestion, frequent stops and bad weather, travel time can take longer than anticipated. Allow and

Before setting off, consider upgrading your old gas-guzzler to a new one that’s energy efficient and comfortable enough to make the long journey with the family in tow. To help, Autotrader rounded up a list of 10 fuelefficient family cars that boast affordability, roomy interiors and a fuel efficient 30 miles per gallon on the highway. Among its picks are the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Honda CR-V, Jeep Cherokee, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Optima, Mazda CX-5, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Outback and the Toyota Camry. To learn more, visit autotrader.com.

With the right strategies for happy travels, you can begin your vacation the second you hit the road.

Spring clean your car Tips to get your ride in great condition.

STATEPOINT

For some, spring cleaning is a time-honored ritual that doesn’t just apply to your house. Remember that your car is likely in desperate need of some attention after the winter months. “A car that`s well-maintained is safer, cheaper to run, more reliable and can be worth more money at resale time,� says Brian Moody, executive editor of Autotrader.

To help, Autotrader editors are sharing “Simple Spring Car Care� tips to get your car in tip-top shape for the busy driving season ahead:

Wash and wax your

car thoroughly If you can afford it, have it professionally detailed.

However, if you do it yourself, be sure to use a pressure nozzle in order to rid your car of any leftover road salt or sand from the winter. Direct sunlight can cause a car’s finish to become dull, but a thorough washing and waxing can also help keep your car’s paint and clear coat looking good.

It’s tempting to run the car through an automated car wash, but those big revolving brushes can dull the finish over time.

If you’re not allowed to wash your car at home due to regional laws or neighborhood rules, seek out a good drive-thru wash and hand wax instead.

Check and set your car’s tire pressure

ISTOCK

Check and set your car’s tire pressure to the level specified in your owner’s manual or on the driver’s door sill. As temperatures warm up, the air in your tires can expand and that might affect the way the car handles.

Be sure not to overinflate the tires. While low tire pressure can cause the tire to heat up if it’s not rolling down the road

properly, extreme overinflation can cause a blowout in high temperatures.

If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, take your car to a shop like BigO Tires, Sears Auto Center or Firestone Auto Care Center — those kinds of chains will usually do it free.

Have a qualified

mechanic do a visual inspection under the hood If you’re comfortable doing this yourself, check for worn belts or hoses, and make sure your coolant (sometimes called antifreeze) isn’t too old. Coolant lasts a long time, but keeping track of when it was last changed, especially in

older cars, can help you avoid overheating as the temperatures gradually climb.

For more tips for keeping your vehicle in great shape whether it’s hot, cold or rainy can be found at www.Autotrader.com.

For better driving all season long, make sure your spring to-do list includes cleaning and maintaining your car.

Your car headlights might not be up to par An insurance group’s ratings find many US headlights inadequate.

ISTOCK

allow for significant variation in the amount of illumination that headlights provide in actual on-road driving, IIHS said.

Of 31 midsize models it tested, 11 earned an acceptable rating, nine were rated marginal and 10 were poor. The Prius

V was rated good when equipped with optional LED headlights and a feature that turns off high beams when there is an oncoming car.

Vehicles getting acceptable ratings include the Audi A3, Honda Accord and Nissan Maxima.

Vehicles with poor ratings include the Kia Optima, Chevrolet Malibu and Volkswagen Passat.

Many luxury vehicles have poorly-rated headlights, and many cars get higher ratings only with option packages. For example, the base Prius V,

which has halogen lights, gets a poor rating.

Some headlights are inadequate because they are not aimed properly at the factory. “Many headlight problems could be fixed with better aim,” said IIHS engineer Matthew Brum-

Headlights on a third of U.S. midsize car models do a poor job, and only one, the Toyota Prius V, performed well enough with an optional upgrade to earn a good rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in results released Wednesday.

While they meet U.S. government standards, better headlights could reduce U.S. accident deaths and improve safety, the Arlington, Virginia-based group said.

In its first ratings of vehicle headlights, the insurance group tested midsize cars to see how well they illuminate the road and whether they create excessive glare for oncoming vehicles. The group’s ratings carry weight with consumers so automakers work to win high marks in its tests.

Government rules

below.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a statement its revised new-car assessment program will give incentives for automakers to improve headlight performance.

“NHTSA is committed to promoting a higher standard of safety, including in headlighting systems,” spokesman Bryan Thomas said.

A spokesman for the Alliance for Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group representing Toyota Motor Corp., General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co., Volkswagen AG and others, declined to comment.

A 2007 NHTSA report found 49 percent of passenger traffic deaths occur at night, while 25 percent of driving occurs at night. It’s not clear how much the fatality rate is related to lighting, versus driver behavior at night such as speeding or intoxication. REUTERS

Twitter connects former ‘Twilight’ co-stars in need Ah, social media. Is there anything it can’t do? From making sure people nowhere near Ankara weren’t hurt in a terrorist bombing to getting Instagram stars all lathered up over post notifications, social media entities just want you to know that they care. And they also care about bringing former colleagues together, like “Twilight� co-stars Anna Kendrick and Kellan Lutz. Kendrick took to Twitter to seek some assistance in the manly arts, tweeting,

“Hi, I’m Anna, I’m alone tonight and I’m looking for a strapping muscular man to come over because butternut squash is hard to dice,� followed by a series of kissy faces. Seems reasonable enough.

And lo, who should respond? None other than sparkly secondrun vampire himself, Lutz, who tweeted back, “Hi Anna, what kind of knife do you have?â€? Hey now, buddy, that’s getting kind of personal.Â

Elton John sued by cop for getting all grope-y Medal of Valor recipient, several times and made sexually suggestive comments. The suit also claims that the incidents escalated “in frequency and intensity after 2010,� though I’m not really sure what happened that year to make John so much bolder. John’s attorney, naturally, is having none of it. “This baseless lawsuit is brought by a disgruntled former security officer seeking to extract an undeserved payment,� Orin Snyder tells the Los Angeles Times. “These claims are patently untrue and contradicted by numerous previous statements made by this plaintiff.

We will not give in to his latest abuse of the legal system.�

Well, this is awkward. A former member of Elton John’s personal security detail, who happened to be doing the work while off-duty from his regular gig as an LAPD officer is suing the “Tiny Dancer� singer for sexual harassment and battery.

that’s just what James Corden did during his “Carpool Karaoke� special when Jennifer Lopez stupidly let her phone fall into his grubby paws. Despite Lopez’s protests, Corden typed out a message to Leonardo DiCaprio — “Hey baby, I’m kind of feeling like I need to cut loose.

Any suggestions? Let

me know, J. Lo (you know from The Block)� — and hit send. And before long, DiCaprio responded with, “You mean tonight, boo boo?

Maria Rainer declared “the hills are alive with the sound of music,” and so begins the iconic Broadway musical you’ll never get out of your head.

Originally performed in 1959 at the LuntFontanne Theatre, “The Sound of Music” has since become a classic, garnering multiple reproductions, including a film adaptation and an unfortunate live TV performance.

Today, Kerstin Anderson, who steps into Maria’s shoes for the 2016 national tour, says director Jack O’Brien focuses especially on history of the production for this reinterpretation.

“He just looked at the text and brought out the rich history, which included a sense of urgency. [At the same time, he’s] keeping that romantic atmosphere while being really honest about the time period.”

Anderson was a sophomore at Pace University when she auditioned for the role of Maria, and she describes it as an exciting and incredible process.

“It was like my fifth real audition ever,” Anderson shares. “I went in with zero expectations, [but then] I got another call back and then all of a sud-

Yes, the hills are still alive.

MATTHEW MURPHY

den I was working with [director] Jack O’Brien in the room. Life changed very quickly, but it was also like a dream.”

There’s a lot of pressure for Anderson, being so young and filling a role played by well-known actresses such as Mary Martin and Julie Andrews. But Anderson looks at it as an opportunity for learning.

“I’m learning how to be an actor in this world and how to be a human being in the universe ... how to find joy and nuance within [telling] the same story every day.”

Lucky for Anderson, she grew up in South Bur-

lington, Vermont — about 45 minutes away from where the Von Trapp family settled. “One of the amazing things about Maria is her ability to sort of feel music everywhere,” Anderson says. “Growing up in a mountainous place, I sort of understand how she feels and sees. I experience my own version of that song.”

Anderson’s enthusiasm for her role is evident and is sure to translate into her performance.

Broadway actors Ben Davis and Merwin Foard also join her on tour as Georg von Trapp and Max Detweiler, respectively.

Often sullen and without a background to contextualize the scene, they seem trapped in their own heads, engrossed in pensive daydreams.

Best honeymoon destinations for 2016

It’s time to plan the fun part of the wedding.

“Honeymoons last not nowadays above a fortnight,” Samuel Richardson observed in his 18th-century novel “Clar-

issa.” He had a point: While love certainly may last beyond two weeks, precious vacation time may not, which makes choosing the right honeymoon destination even more crucial.

Start a marriage off on the right foot by first figuring out what type of travel fits your newly-

wed fantasy. Whether you crave the beach, some outdoor adventure, a little culture or an extended party, there’s somewhere in the world for both of you to make your first memories together. Here are our top picks for 2016, each complete with timely appeal. KATHLEEN SQUIRES

FOR NATURE LOVERS

Yellowstone This summer, the National Park Service commemorates its centennial, which means parks across America will be celebrating with special events. Mark the occasion by visiting Yellowstone, America’s first park and the home of Old Faithful, hundreds of grizzlies and the country’s most spectacular wilderness. Visitors can get close with nature in every way imaginable, via cycling, river rafting, hiking, wildlife safaris, fishing, boating, bird

watching, horseback riding and swimming.

Where to Stay: Spring Creek Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is celebrating the occasion with multiday wolf and

bear safaris through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

The ranch also includes rooms with sweeping mountain views and fireplaces, plus an awardwinning restaurant and spa.

FOR OENOPHILES

Umbria The birthplace of St. Valentine provides couples with a host of reasons to bypass more touristy neighbors in favor of Italy’s heart. Scenic vineyards producing terrific wines is reason No. 1. Known for the Sagrantino grape, the area around Montefalco had a particularly strong harvest in 2015. Wineries especially worth a visit include the historic Cantina Scacciadiavoli, the region’s oldest, which was founded by a Roman prince; the sleek, modern Tenuta Castelbuono, designed by the sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro, where the winery is a work of art in itself; the family-run, organic Antonelli, where couples can also enjoy cooking classes; the scenic Arnaldo Caprai, where visitors can take in breathtaking panoramas of the region; and Colpetrone, which connoisseurs may recognize because of its wide distribution in the United States.

Dinner in a local restaurant,

such as Alchimista, will include the wine in the dishes, such as Sagrantino-braised beef. Cap it all off at tiny, out-of-the way jazz and wine bar Microclima (Piazza San Domenico 27) in Foligno, which pours the best local labels, of course.

Where to Stay: The Palazzo

Bontadosi in the old city of Montefalco was once home to a 15th-century cardinal.

Today it houses a spa with Turkish bath, aqua treatments and grapeseed facial; a terrific restaurant, Locanda del Teatro; and a dome-ceilinged room (No. 1) bedecked in historic frescoes.

ALL IMAGES ISTOCK

FOR BEACH LOVERS

Nevis You may not have heard of this Caribbean island, but you most certainly have heard of its most famous native, Alexander Hamilton (yes, he of the Founding Fathers, and Broadway’s current smash musical). This year, the island became even more accessible, with direct flights from United Airlines via Newark. Its beaches have a reputation for being among the Caribbean’s most secluded and unspoiled, while its interior boasts verdant rainforests and volcanoes.

Ample marine life encourages snorkeling between suntanning sessions.

Where to Stay: Newly opened Paradise Beach is the island’s only beachfront villa resort, with seven thatch-roof villas, each with their own lap and plunge pool. Here,

couples can canoodle over a private dinner on the beach, enjoy guided waterfall hikes and sip Champagne aboard a catamaran during a moonlight sail.

Legend yacht accommodates only 200 people, perfect for honeymooners who enjoy an intimate sail with personalized service.

Where to Stay: All suites have been recently refurbished. But it’s your honeymoon, so why not spring for one of the four classic suites, with private verandas?

FOR CRUISERS

Iceland In 2016 Windstar Cruises, the world’s smallest luxury cruise line, launches a brand-new itinerary: Around Iceland takes guests on a seven-day sail from Reykjavik, stopping at five of the country’s outlying islands.

Highlights include a soak in the famous Blue Lagoon; the renowned Hengifoss and Godafoss waterfalls; and Vigur Island, populated with puffins and black guillemots. The all-suite Star

FANTASY BASEBALL EARLY TIPS: DO’S AND DON’TS AS SEASON APPROACHES OPINION

KYLE BISHOP @Rotoballer

With Opening Day mercifully arriving next week, most leagues have held their drafts.

The only thing left to do, of course, is play the games.

Here are a few tips to help you navigate the waters in the early going.

DO

Maintain a healthy watch list The major platforms all include this feature. It’s a godsend all season long, but particularly in the opening weeks of the season. It’s a place to keep tabs on any and all available players you might find interesting, but didn’t grab in the draft for one reason or another. During April, when players’ stat lines can swing violently in either direction, the watch list can help keep you from losing anyone in the shuffle.

It’s key to know how long a leash to trust inconsistent players like Lucas Duda with. GETTY IMAGES

Bonifacios. A slow start doesn’t doom you. Remember: It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

DO

Be proactive

DON’T

Panic The saying goes, “You can’t win a championship in April, but you can lose it.” Some owners might interpret that as a call to action, desperate to avoid falling behind early. It can be agonizing to wait for a scuffling star to get going while your rivals may be snatching up the players off to a hot start. As often as not, though, the best move is the move you don’t make. For every J.D. Martinez, there are a dozen Emilio

Wait, doesn’t that contradict the last suggestion? Not at all.

There’s a difference between being proactive and overreacting. You should always have a general idea of how long of a leash you’re willing to give every player on your roster. Paul Goldschmidt stumbling out of the gate is different from, say, Lucas Duda doing the same.

This is where your draft prep can continue paying dividends well into the season. While it’s tricky to separate signal from noise in such a small sample, a player struggling

with something he’s previously fallen prey to – injuries, contact issues, heavy platoon splits, etc. – may be a reliable indicator of future performance.

The same principle applies here. It doesn’t matter how much you bought into the hype or potential of a player. If they aren’t getting the job done, it’s

time to re-evaluate their place on your roster.

Enjoy the games, and good luck this season.

DON’T

Get attached to old values

‘Pot Roast’ in Foxboro?

We’re all human, and as a result we all struggle with the concept of sunk costs. The second your draft ends, what anyone paid for any player ceases to be relevant (beyond keeper or dynasty considerations, of course). Hanging on to a player because you invested heavily in March simply results in compounding the error. This goes for emotional investment as well. Faulkner said, “In writing, you must kill your darlings.”
