A British Airways flight from London City Airport was supposed to head to Duesseldorf, Germany, but ended up in Edinburgh, Scotland. The airline said Monday the problem started when an incorrect flight plan was filed by WDL Aviation, which operated the flight. Officials say the pilot followed the flight plan for Edinburgh, and that air traffic control officials were following the same flight plan and saw nothing amiss. (AP)

These bots bring the bacon TECHNOLOGY In the first days after a fleet of 25 delivery robots descended on George Mason University’s campus in January, school officials could only speculate about the machines’ long-term impact. New data that emerged Monday will help officials understand whether the robots would change the campus culture or become a forgettable novelty. An extra 1,500 breakfast orders have been delivered autonomously in the two months since the robots arrived at the Fairfax-based school, according to Starship Technologies, the start-up that makes the robots, and Sodexo, a company that manages food services for GMU. Starship Technologies said in a statement released Monday that research shows that up to 88 percent of college students skip breakfast, but that number starts to change when delivery robots arrive on campus. “This follows a similar pattern seen at corporate campuses where delivery robots

were added,” the statement said, referring to an uptick in breakfast orders. During the first day of deliveries at GMU, the machines were flooded by so many dinner orders that school officials had to pull the plug, shutting off orders so that robots weren’t operating late into the night, far behind schedule. But two months later, breakfast has replaced dinner as the go-to meal for robot delivery. Sodexo officials have noted that college students are prolific

users of food delivery apps and place a high value on convenience and having access to multiple options when they dine. During the morning hours, restaurant experts say, there is generally an emphasis on speed. Combine college students’ love of food delivery with chaotic morning routines, and perhaps you have a perfect recipe for robots. Starship Technologies said in a statement emailed to The Washington Post that timed breakfast deliveries have proved popular with the students at GMU. Starship Technologies says GMU is the first campus in the country to incorporate robots into its student dining plan. The robots also provide campus officials with valuable data showing what time students are eating, where that food is coming from and how meal plans are being used. Though that information won’t be monetized by the school, officials say, it could lead to changes in how the university serves students over time. Also on Monday, the company announced the launch of a new fleet of more than 30 robots at Northern Arizona University’s Flagstaff campus. PETER HOLLEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Auditor raises alarms over Bowser’s budget THE DISTRICT The District official in charge of auditing government programs launched an unusual attack on the mayor’s proposed budget Monday, saying it is “not fiscally responsible” and could lead to the kind of spending that prompted a federal takeover of the city’s finances 24 years ago. D.C. Auditor Kathleen Patterson said increased spending proposed by Mayor Muriel Bowser, D, for the coming fiscal year outstrips the growth in revenue forecast by D.C.’s chief

financial officer. Although the resulting budget is balanced through tax increases, Patterson said, it puts the District on a path that is unsustainable in the long term. She invoked the specter of the financial control board that Congress established to oversee the city in the 1990s as it was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy — a humiliating period when many basic powers were stripped from D.C. officials. Patterson, a former three-term D.C. Council member who served on the body during that time,

made her remarks during a committee hearing on her agency’s budget. She departed from that topic, however, to offer a broader warning about the trajectory of the city’s budgets. “The budget is balanced, but the problem is you make it much harder for yourself in subsequent years by this rate of growth,” Patterson said in an interview after her testimony. “Next year we’ll have to sustain this rate of growth, and people will want to spend more. It just becomes untenable.”

Planners hope new transitway will turn it from ‘parking lot’ to elegant boulevard TRANSPORTATION District planners have long envisioned how to redesign K Street NW — one of the city’s premier business addresses — from a sea of traffic to an iconic boulevard where buses breeze through the downtown of the nation’s capital on their own transitway. In addition to making the thoroughfare more transit-friendly, planners have wanted to scrap K Street’s decades-old side service roads, which, they say, confuse motorists, clog traffic and often leave pedestrians and cyclists scrambling between medians. After 15 years of studies and reports, the proposed K Street Transitway project suddenly looks like it might get beyond the drawing board. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, D, has included $122 million in her capital budget to finish the project’s design and build it, potentially beginning construction in 2023 and opening in 2025. “We are concerned about congestion across the city,” Bowser told the D.C. Council during her budget presentation Wednesday. “The investments we make in public transit are first and foremost in my mind on how we move more cars off the road.” Under the transit plan, K Street would be redesigned between Ninth and 21st streets NW. Two dedicated bus lanes — one in each direction — would run down the

middle and be separated from traffic by raised medians that would have room for passenger waiting areas. The outside service lanes would disappear. Instead, three lanes of traffic would remain in each direction along both sides of the transitway, but the third lanes could be used for parking during off-peak hours. The idea, planners say, is to make buses more attractive and reliable by keeping them out of backups. The new design, they say, also would use the road space more efficiently and make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists. The transitway would have enough room to potentially convert to street cars in the future. In the budget proposal, the District Department of Transportation would seek environmental approvals this year, start the final design in 2021 and begin construction in 2023. K Street would remain open during the roughly two years of construction, city officials said. Bowser also has said she would like to find a way to open a busway within four years. The city has studied the idea since 2005 and chose an alignment in 2009, but the project has not been funded beyond its initial design phase. Beyond connecting Georgetown on the west and Capitol Hill on the east, K Street NW has long been considered the epicenter of D.C.’s business district and a

District officials say this is what a two-lane dedicated bus transitway could look like down the middle of K Street NW through downtown.

The plan calls to scrap K Street’s decades-old side service roads, seen here in 2014. They’re believed to be among the only ones in Washington.

Bowser’s wish list Mayor Muriel Bowser’s other transportation spending priorities — none of which are done deals yet — include $10 million for 18 Capital Bikeshare stations and $2.8 million to hire 40 traffic enforcement officers to protect pedestrians and enforce bike lane laws. She also has proposed $3.1 million to subsidize Circulator bus service by making the service free on all routes and $13 million to expand the Circulator into Ward 7 in Southeast. (TWP)

should be recognized as a great and beautiful street that rivals major downtown corridors throughout the world, such as Fifth Avenue in New York and Michigan Avenue in Chicago,” wrote the panel, convened by the National Capital Planning Commission and the Downtown D.C. Business Improvement District. In addition to a transitway, the panel said, wider sidewalks to accommodate outdoor dining, and more mature landscaping and trees would make the area more inviting and “parklike.” “This is a big step toward a better K Street, more in line with its truly iconic and symbolic qualities,” said Leona Agouridis, executive director of the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District. “It should be a grand boulevard, not a parking lot.” KATHERINE SHAVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Commuters see a lot to like in a K Street update THE DISTRICT Several commuters heading home on K Street one recent evening said they would welcome a redesign, especially if it meant fewer traffic backups and more reliable bus service. Trevor Bruce, an administrative assistant, said it’s time to get rid of the service lanes, where he often sees traffic snarled behind motorists trying to swerve into and out of the regular lanes. He said he also sees pedestrians who cross the service lanes on do-not-walk signals becoming stranded on medians. “I don’t think it’s too pretty to look at now … so any change would be good,” he said. Geoff Hainbach, an attorney, said he’d be “all for” a transitway that would make buses more reliable. Now, he said, they can be 10 to 15 minutes off schedule. “During rush hour, you see the expected time of arrival get pushed back,” Hainbach said, pointing to the digital display at his K Street bus stop. “It gets annoying because it’s hard to plan how long it’s going to take.” Some motorists say they’re worried they’ll lose out. Yema Morgan, who drives to stuntrigging jobs around the city, said she’s concerned about K Street being ripped up for construction and the possibility of losing any street parking, which is already in short supply. “People do drive,” she said, pointing to a line of cars slogging through the evening rush. “Look at this.” KATHERINE SHAVER (TWP)

Trump officially calls Golan a part of Israel

MOOD MUSIC

Warner music inks deal with an algorithm

FOREIGN AFFAIRS President Trump signed a proclamation on Monday recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, reversing more than a half-century of U.S. policy in the Middle East. Standing alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump made formal a move he announced in a surprise tweet last week. The president said it was time for the U.S. to take the step after 52 years of Israeli control of the strategic highlands on the border with Syria. The U.S. is the first country to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan. Most of the international community regards it as Israeli-occupied. Trump’s action also might give Netanyahu a political boost ahead of what’s expected to be a close Israeli election. He had pressed for such recognition for months. Syria denounced the U.S. move as “blatant aggression” on its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The foreign ministry said Trump’s step represented the “highest level of contempt for international legitimacy” and showed that Washington was “the main enemy” of Arabs. L ebanon said the Golan

The proclamation noted the “unique circumstances” presented by the Golan, language that appeared to be aimed at countering criticism that the recognition would be used by other countries to justify control of disputed territory such as Russia’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region. Netanyahu and Trump met as the Israeli military was striking Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip in response to a rocket that hit a house near Tel Aviv, wounding seven people. Netanyahu announced Monday he would cut short his D.C. visit to monitor the attack response.

Apple event spotlights streaming

Report cites sexual torture of migrants

TECHNOLOGY On Monday, Apple announced something altogether different from its typical new products that consumers can touch and feel: an entertainment service that will include Apple’s own films and television shows with Hollywood stars including Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and Steven Spielberg. At an event at its campus in Cupertino, Calif., Apple said it was launching a raft of new services, from news to video games and a credit card. Its biggest initiative is entertainment streaming service Apple TV +, which will be available on smart TVs. Apple didn’t announce a price for the streaming service or when it will launch. Oprah Winfrey, who was at the TV + announcement and got a standing ovation from the audience, talked about “joining forces with Apple” to help “heal” our divisions in this political climate. Apple is expected to invest many billions of dollars per year, according to analysts, to make

video content for a crowded market that includes Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and Disney. Usually, when Apple holds big, splashy press events, it unveils a new product like the iPhone or the MacBook. For years, Apple’s business has centered around the iPhone, but sales of the device have slowed. Apple has been diversifying beyond hardware, selling iCloud storage to its customers, a $10 a month music streaming service and movies and television shows through iTunes. But Monday’s announcement takes that diversification to a whole new level. Apple CEO Tim Cook also unveiled Apple News+, a $10 a month subscription service that will include magazines such as Sports Illustrated and The New Yorker. The design of the paid news app downplayed the publications behind individual articles. Apple failed to persuade some of the largest newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, to participate in the service, but it will include

Oprah Winfrey touted Apple’s new video streaming service on Monday with Apple CEO Tim Cook.

The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times In addition, Apple announced a new gaming subscription service called Apple Arcade, which will help developers monetize their games. Apple also announced Apple Card, which builds on the popularity of its Apple Pay service that allows people to pay for products using their phones and watches. Offering its own credit card, with the backing of Goldman Sachs and Mastercard, allows Apple to cut out some of the middlemen in payment transactions. Apple is offering

consumers competitive cash back and no late fees. As far as Apple’s bottom line is concerned, the credit card announcement may one day turn out to be the most significant announcement of the day. It puts Apple one step closer to placing itself in the middle of a large swath of consumer transactions. By combining this with the company’s vast number of customers who carry around its devices, its payments services have the potential of giving Apple a massive, low-overhead revenue stream.

PARIS Migrants trying to reach Europe face rape and sexual torture throughout their journey — especially in Libya — with men facing abuse nearly as routinely as women, according to a study based on dozens of interviews with aid workers and migrants. The graphic report released Monday by the Women’s Refugee Commission comes as Europe has blocked rescues at sea and outsourced its migration policy to Libya’s coast guard. With European Union funding, the Libyan coast guard retrieves migrants from the Mediterranean Sea and takes them to official detention centers, where migrants say the abuse resumes. Smugglers torture migrants and record it in part to extract ransoms from their families, according to the study. Previous studies have found that nearly all women who cross from North Africa have been raped or sexually abused along the way; this one found that the danger was likely nearly as prevalent among men. A mental health worker described graves filled with men with their genitals amputated. At an official prison, a 19-yearold Nigerian woman told a health worker that women faced near constant threat of rape, and men only marginally less. “They said that if we tell in Europe what is happening in Libya, our brothers and sisters in the prison will pay,” she said, according to the study.

Lawmakers voted 329-302 to take control of Parliament’s timetable from the government

starting Wednesday to hold votes on alternative Brexit options. The alternatives could include remaining in the European Union’s single market or canceling Brexit altogether. The government promised to “engage constructively” with the process but has not committed to enacting whatever lawmakers decide.

A re-election weapon Trump allies aim to use Mueller report against Democrats and media in the run-up to 2020

Sandy Hook dad dies in likely suicide

told The Associated Press. Trump’s campaign on Monday afternoon released a memo from communications director Tim Murtaugh warning television producers against booking Democrats who had claimed there was evidence of collusion. “At this point, there must be introspection from the media who facilitated the reckless statements and a serious evaluation of how such guests are considered and handled in the future,” Murtaugh wrote. The president’s allies also intend to heighten attacks on the media, which many Trump supporters believe unjustly fanned the flames of the special counsel’s probe in an effort to bring down the president.

NEWTOWN, CONN. The father of a first-grade girl killed in the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School was discovered dead in an apparent suicide Monday morning, police said. Authorities said the body of Jeremy Richman, 49, was found about 7 a.m. at the Newtown town hall, a community that has been scarred by the shooting that left 20 students and six staff members dead. The victims included Richman’s daughter, 6-year-old Avielle Richman. Richman, a neuroscientist who with the girl’s mother founded the Avielle Foundation, studied the brain and violence. The foundation had an office at the town hall. Police have not released details about his death. “Losing Avielle hurt then and hurts now,” Richman, above, told TV station WTNH in 2017. “There’s no words that really describe the loss and the feeling of emptiness and missing her profoundly that never goes away and is there every waking moment.” In Parkland, Fla., two teenagers have died by apparent suicide in the past week in a town still grieving from the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. One former student who died was reported to be dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder from the shooting. The circumstances surrounding the second student’s death remain unclear. LINDSEY BEVER

POLITICS For President Trump, the fight over the “witch hunt” is only just beginning. Now that special counsel Robert Mueller’s twoyear investigation into Trump’s campaign is over, it’s being transformed into a rallying cry and a weapon for the president’s re-election campaign. The pall of the two-year probe lifted Sunday, when Attorney General William Barr released a summary of Mueller’s findings that said the investigation found no evidence of collusion by Trump’s 2016 campaign with the Russian government. Barr’s four-page letter was immediately seized on by the president and his allies as a weapon against Democrats and the media. As the president’s lawyers debated legal strategy, Trump aides and allies developed a plan to turn the end of the probe into a launchpad for attacks on the president’s foes and a chance to reinvigorate supporters in the run-up to 2020. Trump surrogates rushed to take a victory lap, depict the probe as a failed coup and rub the results in the face of Democrats. “You’ve made a great victim of Donald Trump here,” Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway said Monday morning. Trump’s campaign moved quickly to raise money off the news, with a text to supporters stating, “Dems raised millions off a lie. Now we FIGHT BACK!” The team’s plans going forward are more expansive, according to seven aides and allies involved with the effort, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity. While Trump’s base has long been suspicious of Mueller, the

president’s team believes independents and moderate Democrats who backed him in the last election but have since soured may return to the fold if convinced he was unfairly targeted. Some Republicans who had mused about a primary challenge to Trump if Mueller returned a smoking gun may now stay on the sidelines. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, one of several Republicans considering a bid to unseat the president, told the AP last month he would mount a campaign only if the political dynamics in the race changed. Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, though, said Monday that he was still considering a bid. Major talking points for Democrats who had pinned great hopes on Mueller may have vanished. And some swing voters, wary of the prospect of endless investigations and talk of impeachment, may prove more sympathetic to the president. Trump and his

Partisan reactions Democrats grappled Monday with special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings, holding strategy sessions as Republicans gleefully called for them to “move on.” President Trump accused those responsible for launching Mueller’s Russia probe of “treasonous things against our country” and said they “certainly will be looked into.” As Democrats clamored for the Justice Department to release Mueller’s entire report and not just Sunday’s four-page summary from Attorney General William Barr, Trump said a full release “wouldn’t bother me at all.” (AP)

Kempny out ‘long term’ for Capitals

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Life after Harper: Turning the page should feel good Life after Bryce Harper will be good for the Nationals, whose new era begins Thursday when they play their home opener against the Mets. Even if the Nats don’t win the tough NL East this year — and they likely won’t — there will be no reason to blame it on losing their right fielder to division rival Philadelphia. Harper wasn’t quite the Mickey Mantle projected when the Nationals drafted him first overall in 2010. Oh, he was a solid player. Even the bitterness of his leaving for

Philadelphia doesn’t blur the NL MVP award in 2015, or six All-Star appearances in seven seasons. His Home Run Derby victory last July at Nationals Park was one of the more dramatic moments in Washington baseball since its 2005 return. But let’s see how much brotherly love Harper receives when he strikes out 100-plus times, as he has in five of seven seasons, including 169 times last year, when he didn’t hit his weight in the first half. The Nationals also won’t miss his less-than-inspired defense or running at threequarters speed to first base. Washington fans still wish

he were here, but it’s time to move on. Luckily the Nats have a promising replacement in Victor Robles, after finding another young outfield star last season in Juan Soto. Robles, who can play center or right, flashed his potential in 21 games last season, and was hitting .340 entering Monday’s final spring game, against the Yankees at Nationals Park. He should be a 20-homer man alongside Soto, who hit 22 homers with 70 RBIs in 116 games last year and should have been Rookie of the Year. Harper was a must-watch player at bat. You stopped everything and hoped to see something great. And sometimes he delivered. But he isn’t the best player of his generation (see: Mike Trout), and Robles and Soto can compensate for Harper’s loss. Besides, this season’s fate is more about pitching. Will Max Scherzer earn his fourth Cy Young — and third in Washington — after winning 68 games in four seasons here? Spring

training says yes. Can Stephen Strasburg at 30 rebound from a lackluster 10-7 season to the form he showed while going 15-4 in back-to-back years? Will the bottom of the rotation and bullpen come through? Pitching is far more important than Harper’s loss. The Nationals still have live bats with Anthony Rendon, Trea Turner and Ryan Zimmerman joining Robles and Soto. Perhaps most important is manager Dave Martinez learning from his rookie season, when he looked like a firstyear boss far too often. Some nights, he should have joined the crowd for a hot dog for all his miscues. But he has potential; perhaps he just needed a season to learn the job. Maybe the Nats will rise above a competitive division. Either way, their fortunes won’t rise and fall on Harper, and that’s a good thing.

The Capitals are preparing to start the playoffs in a couple of weeks without defenseman Michal Kempny, who appeared to injure his left leg Wednesday against the Lightning. The club hasn’t divulged details, but coach Todd Reirden said Monday that Kempny will be out “long term.” Reirden said it wasn’t known yet if Kempny will need surgery. His mobility on the top pairing with John Carlson helped stabilize the defense during last year’s Stanley Cup run. With Kempny out the past two games, the Caps replaced him most often with second-year blueliner Christian Djoos. Reirden also has tried other combinations, including one with Carlson opposite Nick Jensen. (TWP)

Rematch with no asterisks

COLLEGE BASKETBALL The only time Virginia Tech coach Buzz Williams looked displeased Sunday night came just after his team had advanced to the Sweet 16 with a win over Liberty in San Jose, Calif. Williams sat in front of the media and shook his head after his players were asked about their next opponent, top-seeded Duke, in this weekend’s East Region semifinals at Capital One Arena in Washington. It has been just a month since Virginia Tech upset Duke in Blacksburg, but there was a major caveat — the Blue Devils were without injured freshman star Zion Williamson. He will be in uniform for the rematch Friday night, which naturally was at the forefront Sunday night as the Hokies prepared to head back to the East Coast. “Very excited just to play,” said guard Ahmed Hill, who left it at that. “Perfect answer,” said Williams, who looked annoyed. After all, during that late February win, the Hokies didn’t have senior point guard Justin Robinson because of a foot injury. Williamson’s return has made Duke the favorite to win the national championship. But Virginia Tech (26-8) has its attitude back as well with Robinson, who after missing two months returned to lead the Hokies to their first Sweet 16 berth since 1967. Both teams have grown because of the late-season attrition,

best player,” Hokies forward Ty Outlaw said. “If you ask me, it’s even. The best team will win.” Virginia Tech was struggling with Liberty in the first half Sunday in San Jose, and Duke rallied for a last-second win over Central Florida in Columbia, S.C. After the Hokies had followed suit, prevailing 67-58 thanks to stifling second-half defense and a string of clutch plays by Robinson, they found out they would face the Blue Devils. And although this meeting won’t be in Blacksburg — Virginia Tech has beaten Duke three consecutive times on its home floor — it will take place just hours from campus. While Williamson led Duke with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists to hold off UCF, Robinson came off the bench and looked more comfortable than he did in his first game back Friday in a win over Saint Louis. He played 29 minutes Sunday, finishing with 13 points and four assists against just two turnovers; his pull-up jumper in the final minutes gave Virginia Tech a seven-point lead. This came just seven days after he had been medically cleared to start playing again, and he spent most of the week working on his conditioning and running a dummy offense with his teammates. He will arrive for the rematch with Duke with more time to prepare his body for the biggest game of his career. ROMAN STUBBS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Cavaliers find their swagger in second round VIRGINIA After surviving a first-half scare in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 64, Virginia on Sunday played with the bounce, swagger and flair of a No. 1 seed with national championship aspirations. With their pack-line defense clicking, the Cavaliers led No. 9 seed Oklahoma virtually the entire way in a 63-51 victory in Columbia, S.C., to advance to the South Region semifinals in Louisville, Ky. The Cavaliers will play 12th-seeded Oregon on Thursday at 9:59 p.m. (TBS). The Ducks (25-12) advanced by routing No. 13 UC Irvine 73-54. Virginia’s 6-foot-9 junior center, Mamadi Diakite, above, continued his stellar play in this tournament, leading Virginia (31-3) with 14 points and adding nine rebounds, matching a career high. He had 17 points and nine rebounds in Friday’s slowstarting, 71-56 win against Gardner-Webb. That adds up to the most points in any two-game stretch this season for Diakite, a native of Guinea who made the most of the first start of his career Sunday. He started in place of senior center Jack Salt, who appeared to hurt his ankle against GardnerWebb, but said he was OK. Diakite said he took the start as a challenge to elevate his performance, which included three blocks — his admitted favorite part of the game. GENE WANG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NFL Tight end Rob Gronkowski’s retirement announcement Sunday hurts the Patriots’ chances of winning another Super Bowl considerably. His exit could hasten the end of the Patriots’ dynasty. If he remains retired. Gronkowski, who turns 30 in May, is still young even in football terms. At some point this fall, his aches and pains might not seem so debilitating. The Patriots probably will be back in the running for yet another Super Bowl. What if he could,

say, miss training camp and a portion of the regular season, and return to play the games that matter most? After all, fellow tight end Jason Witten — who will be 37 in May — returned to the Cowboys after just one season in ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” booth. Gronkowski’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Monday on ESPN: “If the team was struggling or they needed him at some point next year, and let’s just say hypothetically Tom Brady gave him a call and said ‘Rob, I need you,’ I wouldn’t be shocked if he came back to play a few games.” But Rosenhaus emphasized that he was just speculating and that “it’s unlikely that he will

The Orioles put scheduled opening day starter Alex Cobb on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right groin. He likely will be replaced by Andrew Cashner for Thursday’s game at the Yankees.

dynastic run, always finding a way to keep winning. But this might be different. Other than Brady, few players have meant more to the Patriots’ success.

Brady has made things work with underwhelming wide receivers, less than productive running games and ineffective offensive lines. He has been able to compensate when the defense hasn’t been the best. But for the past nine seasons, Brady always has been able to exploit one mismatch, at least whenever Gronkowski has been healthy and on the field. Without him, Brady would look more like a 42-year-old quarterback than a league MVP. If Gronkowski really stays away, the next championship for Belichick, Brady and the Patriots — if there is a next championship — would be the most wondrous of all. MARK MASKE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

3 healthful condiment options

Experts caution that those who exercise to treat depression should still consult a mental health practitioner.

Exercise and depression Working out can help improve mental health — but it doesn’t work for everyone WELLNESS You hear it often: A friend swears that her running practice staves off bouts of low spirits. Another says going to the gym before work keeps him mentally steady. Those anecdotes prompt a question. Is there evidence to support the idea that exercise can have an effect on depression? One study assigned participants, 202 depressed adults at least 40 years old, to one of four groups. One group attended supervised group exercise sessions three times per week. A second group received similar instructions but were left to work out on their own at home. Groups three and four took pills: either an antidepressant or a placebo. After 16 weeks, researchers found 45 percent of the people in the supervised exercise group no longer met the criteria for major depression. In the other groups, 40 percent of home exercisers, 47 percent of medicine takers and 31 percent of placebo pill takers

were no longer depressed. That’s right: The supervised exercisers did as well as the people who took an antidepressant. James Blumenthal, a psychologist at Duke University who cowrote the paper, says there are a number of studies that, like his, support the idea that exercise might be helpful in treating depression. Like his, most of the studies are small. “There are no large, multicenter clinical trials,” he says. There are also issues with the design of experiments, says Chad Rethorst, a researcher at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. “What is the comparison control condition?” A placebo pill prevents people from knowing if they’re getting medicine or not; it’s hard to come up with a placebo for exercise. Still, a number of scientists have combined results from the many small studies to see if an overall effect can be described. “Any treatment for depression

Advocating exercise Antonia Baum, a psychiatrist in private practice in Bethesda, says, “I always take an exercise history with my patients.” As for starting and sticking with an exercise program, she’ll talk through the basics and help people find an activity that they’ll enjoy. “You need to find a way that’s sustainable,” she says. J.U.A.

works for some people, but not for everybody,” Blumenthal says. That’s true for medication, talk therapy and exercise alike. A 2015 survey suggested that a majority of depressed patients would be interested to try “an exercise program designed to improve mood.” Rethorst reviewed the studies to come up with guidance for providers on how to prescribe exercise, including what kinds of exercise, frequency, intensity, duration, and how to help people stick to a program.

D.C.’s Potomac River Running Store hosts free basic foot care clinic at 10 a.m. Saturday

The research studies suggest that at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week is good. That’s in line with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. A few studies have found positive effects with resistance training or weight-based exercise, but there’s more evidence for aerobic activity. For people who may want to try exercise as a treatment for low mood or depression, Rethorst says it’s still wise to seek a practitioner’s help. “The optimal clinical practice will include regular monitoring of symptoms, as with the initiation of any treatment plan,” he says. Worsening of symptoms might prompt different or additional treatments. In other words, don’t undertake exercise-as-treatment on your own. If you’re really depressed, you also need treatment and oversight.

Condiments can make a meal, but many of them are full of sugar, unhealthful fats and sodium. Here are three condiments that are better for you. Tahini: Tahini is basically just ground sesame seeds. It has 5 grams of protein, along with calcium, iron, B vitamins and magnesium in a two-tablespoon serving, which makes it a nutrientrich condiment. Try it instead of peanut sauce. Tamari or liquid aminos: Tamari is a gluten-free version of soy sauce, and the low-sodium variety tastes as good. Liquid aminos is a gluten-free soybean-based seasoning. Coconut aminos is a nonsoybean option that comes from coconut sap. Kimchi or sauerkraut: Opt for these instead of coleslaw. They are less caloric and, as fermented condiments, they aid in breaking down your food and helping you absorb its nutrients. CASEY SEIDENBERG (TWP)

I’m tired of Mom’s birthday madness Q. My mother is in her 70s and thinks the world should stop for her birthday. Her demands have gotten more ridiculous the past few years, with her guilt-tripping me and my sister if we don’t come to town for the actual day itself (we live a four-hour plane flight from her). My sister says we should just indulge her because she won’t be around forever. This makes me look bad if I say no. Brunch yoga is 9 a.m. Sunday at Crystal City Sports Pub; $15-20

I could talk about boundarysetting, owning your “no” and taking care of yourself and your own needs even if someone else chooses to view you in a negative way for it. And I’ve certainly seen the Birthdays Gone Wild trend get crazy at times. But I can’t shake the nagging feeling like I’m not sure what’s actually unreasonable here. Yes, demanding your plane-flight-necessitating presence on a certain weekday is potentially selfish or domineering, but I don’t hear you saying your mom is that way in general. And we’re talking about once a year. I feel like I’m betraying you here, but a part of me is with your sister. Could it be worth exploring this as a one-off every year, with certain other visits sacrificed or adjusted since your mom prioritizes this one?

My wife’s never happy with me Q. I feel like my wife wants me to be someone I’m not. She constantly compares me to her friends’ husbands. She is prone to insecurity about our finances and house, and her dissatisfaction has gotten worse now that we have a child. I have tried to get her to see a therapist but she says we don’t have the time or money. It’s quite possible that your wife is suffering from depression or anxiety (or both); her negativity and upset flashes that potential in big neon lights. And it could have a hormonal/postpartum contribution as well, though you don’t say how old your child is. But even if she doesn’t

want to address these issues for herself, she has to understand that they are affecting your marriage and likely your child. So your goal should be to convey that to her in a way that is empathetic and supportive — not that she is being a bad parent or wife, but rather that she deserves to feel better. Make it clear that the time and financial commitment of therapy is worth it to you. It wouldn’t be unreasonable for you to start with a couples therapist. And it would show that you are willing to walk the walk as well. Send questions to Dr. Andrea Bonior at baggage@wpost .com.

ELAHE IZADI | THE WASHINGTON POST

The greatest fear: Can a wuss enjoy must-see horror? My anxiety began eight days before the advanced screening of “Us,” Jordan Peele’s latest horror movie. Willingly sitting in a dark movie theater so that horrifying surprises can terrorize me? Not my idea of a relaxing time! But avoiding the horror genre has become increasingly difficult. In recent years, several films classified as horror have topped critics’ lists and won Oscars, sparking talk of it as the new prestige genre. The films have inspired ubiquitous

memes, turned into thinkpiece fodder and received the “Saturday Night Live” treatment. Between “Us,” “Get Out,” “A Quiet Place,” “Hereditary,” “Bird Box” and the forthcoming “Midsommar” and “Ma,” horror has once again gone mainstream. “As a horror fan and creator, all of us are singing in the streets,” says author Tananarive Due. Meanwhile, us wusses are cowering under our sheets. “Why am I creating more anxiety when I have enough just getting in my car and driving to work?” wonders Aisha DeBerry, 39.

“The world is kind of a trash fire,” says Kelsey Cooper, 26, a John Krasinski and Emily Blunt fan who can’t bring herself to watch “A Quiet Place.” “My brain is constantly telling me to be scared, so seeing a movie where people are dying in horrible ways? My brain is already doing that to me.” Many of the faint-of-heart had a childhood horror movie experience that scarred them for life, such as when Abby Green saw “Poltergeist” at age 8. “I don’t think I slept for two months,” Green says, and horror has been off-limits since. But then “Get Out” came along. Her boyfriend promised to see it with her, but they broke up before she got the chance. “I think about it all the time,” Green, 32, says of the movie. “I feel like I’m one of the only people who hasn’t seen it.” One popular strategy among those with delicate constitutions: reading the entire plot on Wikipedia before stepping

foot into a theater. Due has her own tips: Employ the “triedand-true trick of covering your eyes at key moments” and binge on scary real-life news on the day of viewing. I gave it a go: Driving to see “Us,” I listened to NPR stories about Venezuelan sanctions and economists’ efforts to place a statistical value on a human life. During the movie’s many frights, I looked away, covering my face with a scarf as needed. Two hours later, my nerves slowly settled as I got back into my car. I turned the car back on and the radio played headlines about a cyclone’s death toll and an obscenely expensive sports deal. The feeling of dread I had while watching “Us” returned, but now it was about the world — the actual one where I have to live. Are we those blinkered dummies who don’t see the monsters until it’s too late? Follow Elahe on Twitter @ElaheIzadi

Prince remains immortalized as an enigma BOOK REVIEW Music came so easily to Prince, one of the most difficult things in his purple life was convincing others that he was real. Prince was human, though. We confirmed it in the worst way on April 21, 2016, when he was found dead at Paisley Park, his Minnesota recording studio. For those hoping to not-know him a little better, there’s “Prince: The Last Interview and Other Conversations,” a compilation of profiles and Q&As previously published in a delightfully disparate array of outlets. In the introduction to this book, released earlier this month, poet and critic Hanif Abdurraqib hypothesizes that Prince came to each of these conversations hoping that his inquisitors might “understand him beyond his superhuman capabilities.” For fans, that’s always been hard. And for mourners, it’ll always be. Can we assemble the meaning of Prince’s life based on all of the things he didn’t say? Unsurprisingly, these 10 interviews uphold Prince’s reputation for being tight-lipped — not always down to play ball, but occasionally playful. Maybe the commitment to his mystique was just Prince’s way of protecting our idea of him. To be known is to become static, stiff, frozen in time. To be unknown is to remain flexible and free. Now, even though he’s gone, our understanding of him can still change shape. CHRIS RICHARDS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone you know is interested in doing things in a new way and requires your permission or advice. Is this something you can sanction?

TODAY: We’ll have a ton of sunshine, but an Arctic highpressure system to our north feeds chilly air into the region. Highs struggle to hit 50, with winds from the north and northwest around 10 to 15 mph. Expect quite a cold night; most locations should fall below freezing.

Dr. Dre deleted an Instagram post over the weekend in which he boasted that his daughter got into the University of Southern California “all on her own” after readers pointed out that he helped contribute $70 million to the school. Dre’s post alluded to this month’s college admissions bribery scandal, in which actor Lori Loughlin was accused of illegally facilitating her daughters’ admission to USC. “My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own,” Dre wrote. “No jail time!!!” Dre and producer Jimmy Iovine donated $70 million to USC in 2013.

Ortiz-Magro and Harley had split up earlier this year after a fight. “They are co-parents and trying to work on their relationship,” a source said. (EXPRESS)
