Under proposed legislation, D.C. bars and restaurants could lose liquor licenses if they’re too loud.
Turn that music down! D.C. Council member is on the hunt for clubs breaking noise rules
THE DISTRICT Last March, D.C. Council member Vincent B. Orange, D-At Large, hit the Dupont clubs with three constituents. With a sound meter in hand, the group measured the sounds emanating from several popular weekend spots. Orange was traveling with the D.C. Nightlife Noise Coalition, a Dupont watchdog group that fights to ensure businesses comply with the law, which states that sound in a commercial zone at night cannot exceed 60 decibels, the level of a normal conversation.
More than a year later, they say the sound has not subsided. And now, Orange may have a solution. The Council member introduced legislation this month that would require each D.C. establishment with a liquor license to measure its noise levels outside every hour it’s open between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. The bars and restaurants would then record their findings and submit them each week to the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration — the city agency tasked with determining if liquor-licensed establishments are disturbing the peace and quiet of their neighborhoods. After three noise violations, ABRA would suspend the establishment’s liquor license and,
after the fourth, the agency would revoke the liquor license. “I see that there is a tremendous amount of noise,” Orange said. “The law is clear, 60 decibels. … If the industry wants the government to stay out of this, then they need to follow the law.” Orange says he doesn’t expect the bill to pass intact. But he hopes the introduction of the legislation serves as an impetus to discuss how to ensure the city’s nightlife establishments do more to comply with noise laws. A hearing is scheduled for July 9. Jessie Cornelius, a spokeswoman for ABRA, says the agency is reviewing the bill and will provide comment at the hearing. PERRY STEIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Supreme Court says out-of-state earnings cannot be taxed twice MARYLAND A Supreme Court ruling in a Maryland tax case will cost the state an estimated $200 million in refunds it will have to pay residents stretching back seven or eight years, state officials estimated Monday. The 5-4 decision also means Maryland counties will lose about $42 million annually in tax revenue going forward, after the high court ruled that it is unconstitutional not to allow a tax credit for money residents make in other states. Maryland does not apply the tax deduction on a local “piggyback” tax collected on income tax by counties. Last month, lawmakers prepared for an unfavorable ruling by directing money to be paid out of a state reserve fund that is set aside to pay tax refunds. Lawmakers also stipulated that local governments will repay the money, staggered out over nine quarters to help soften the blow. The ruling will have the biggest impact on Montgomery County, the state’s largest jurisdiction in the suburbs of the nation’s capital. County officials estimate the impact for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, will be between $8 million and $10 million. The county’s share of the repayment plan is estimated to be more than $50 million in fiscal year 2017. While Montgomery County’s overall budget is about $5 billion, the setback is still significant. Maryland officials have been bracing for the bad news.

The state’s highest court ruled against the tax in 2013. George Leventhal, president of the Montgomery County Council, noted that the decision, though unwelcome, wasn’t unexpected. “We’ll monitor the demands on the budget, and if it’s necessary to engage in a mid-year savings plan ... then we’ll take that up if it’s necessary,” Leventhal said. While the brunt of the impact will fall on Montgomery County, some smaller counties near the Delaware border, such as Cecil County, also will be affected, because of the number of residents who work in neighboring Delaware.

Report: D.C. pre-K scores are mixed EDUCATION Most taxpayer-funded preschool programs in the District scored above targets for promoting social and emotional development and maximizing student learning time, and below targets for providing instructional supports to students, according to a report released by the Office of the State Superintendent for Education. The report is the first to use a common tool to measure the quality of pre-kindergarten classes across the city. As access to pre-school programs increases across the country amid an Obama administration push to expand early education, variable quality is a growing concern. On a scale of 1 to 7, researches
found that “threshold” scores of five or more in emotional support and classroom organization, and scores of three or more in instructional support, are associated with better outcomes for children. Average scores across D.C. surpassed the threshold for emotional support (which includes positive climate, teacher’s sensitivity and regard for students’ perspectives) and classroom organization (which includes behavior management and productivity.) But scores fell below the threshold for instructional support, with an average score of 2.5. That category includes concept development, quality of feedback and language modeling.

Obama sets limits on military gear for police New restrictions aim to ease tensions between officers, communities
A St. Louis County police officer trains his weapon on protesters in Ferguson, Mo., in August. On Monday, President Barack Obama restricted military-style gear for police forces.

CAMDEN, N.J. President Barack Obama ended long-running federal transfers of some combat-style gear to local law enforcement on Monday in an attempt to ease tensions between police and minority communities, saying equipment made for the battlefield should not be a tool of American criminal justice. Grenade launchers, bayonets, tracked armored vehicles, weaponized aircraft and vehicles, firearms and ammunition of .50-caliber or higher will no longer be provided to state and local police agencies by the federal government under Obama’s order. “We’ve seen how militarized gear can sometimes give people a feeling like there’s an occupying force, as opposed to a force that’s part of the community that’s protecting them and serving them,” Obama said, nine months after an outcry over the use of riot gear and armored vehicles by police confronting protesters in Ferguson, Mo. Obama made his announcement in Camden, N.J., where he praised efforts by the police department to improve their relationship with a poor community struggling with violence. With police under increased scrutiny over highly publicized deaths of black suspects nationwide, Obama also unveiled the final report of a task force he created to help build confidence between police and minority communities. And he issued a broader appeal for Americans

to address racial disparities and the needs of poor communities before they erupt into disorder. He also reiterated his call for overhauling sentencing practices for nonviolent drug crimes. “We can’t ask the police to be the ones to solve the problem when there are no able-bodied men in the community or kids are growing up without intact households,” he said. In addition to the prohibitions in his order, Obama also is placing a longer list of military equipment under tighter control, including wheeled armored vehicles like Humvees, manned aircraft, drones, specialized firearms, explosives, battering rams and riot batons, helmets and shields. Starting in October, police will have to get approval from their city council, mayor or some other local governing body to obtain such equipment, provide a persuasive explanation of why it is

The report from the 21st Century Policing task force has a long list of recommendations to improve trust in police, including encouraging more transparency about interactions with the public. The White House said 21 police agencies nationwide have agreed to start putting out never-before released data on citizen interactions, like use of force, stops, citations and officer-involved shootings. The administration also is launching an online toolkit to encourage the use of body cameras to record police interactions. And the Justice Department is giving $163 million in grants to incentivize police departments to adopt the report’s recommendations. Sacramento, Calif., Mayor Kevin Johnson, the president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, praised Obama’s actions, saying they “show how serious he is about doing this now and doing this right.” NEDRA PICKLER (AP)
Quiet sexism on Capitol Hill can be boiled down to a tale of two congressional aides: One is a man who can meet with his male boss after hours without anyone asking questions. The other is a woman who cannot because that might give people the wrong impression. An anonymous survey of female staffers published Friday by National Journal found several women who work with congressmen or senators reported they’re not allowed to drive alone with their male bosses or talk one-on-one behind closed doors. Some of the highlights: One representative’s wife thought the frequent presence of a female aide was “unseemly.” A chief of staff felt a female aid appearing in too many photos with a senator was “inappropriate.” A manager feared spending too much time with women might spark rumors. If such policies exist, they may violate employment discrimination laws. Beyond that, they can disrupt a staffer’s daily duties — and their careers. A male staffer with equal experience at first may get ahead faster through bonding with leaders and gaining experience informally closed off to his female counterparts. “Even though my boss is like a second dad to me, our office was always worried about any negative assumptions that might be made,” one respondent said.

nation+world LONDON The European Union on Monday approved the use of military force to take on migrant smugglers in the Mediterranean, significantly escalating Europe’s response to a crisis that has left at least 1,800 people dead this year. The decision allows European governments to move ahead with plans for a naval operation that has been taking shape for weeks and that officials say is crucial to any attempt to confront the burgeoning tide of smuggler vessels ferrying migrants from North Africa to Europe.
The mission’s aim is to destroy smuggler vessels before they take on their human cargo. But that will require authorization from the U.N. Security Council, which has begun to consider the matter after E.U. officials made their case in New York last week. Approval is far from certain, especially after Russian officials expressed misgivings about a mission that could involve European warships operating in Libyan territorial waters. Libya itself is divided, anarchic and at war, with rival governments in the eastern and

DIY morphine raises alarm SCIENCE Scientists have figured out how to make morphine and similar painkillers without opium poppies, opening the door for homebrewed drugs and wider abuse. While no one has yet reported making morphine in the lab from scratch, some experts are calling for regulations to prevent garage tinkerers from making do-it-yourself morphine, which can be converted into heroin. Society needs to “think this through now before it becomes a reality,” said bioengineer John Dueber of the University of California, Berkeley, who led a team
that discovered the missing link of the process. The findings were published Monday in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. Poppy pla nts have been farmed for centuries for opium, from which morphine is derived. The controlled substance is often used before and after surgeries to relieve severe pain. For the past decade, various groups of researchers have hacked the DNA of yeast to mimic poppies, in hopes of creating cheaper and less addictive pain relievers. So far, the yeast strains created can only perform the last steps of a long process

that can lead to morphine and other narcotic drugs. The first step had been missing, until now. In a commentary in the journal Nature, some researchers called for restricting the modified yeast strains to licensed facilities so that they won’t fall into the wrong hands. Experts said it’s still extremely difficult for people to make homemade morphine. Even scientists are years away from lab-made morphine strong enough to treat pain. But some point out there could come a time when brewing morphine may be as simple as brewing beer. ALICIA CHANG (AP)

More of us may face heat waves
Bikers are corralled in the parking lot of a Twin Peaks restaurant Sunday in Waco, Texas, following a deadly brawl.
Charges filed against 170 biker gang members Members could face murder charges after deadly Texas brawl WACO, TEXAS About 170 members of rival motorcycle gangs were charged with engaging in organized crime Monday, a day after a shootout at a Texas restaurant that killed nine people and wounded 18. Sunday’s melee at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco drew a broad police response that included placing officers atop buildings and highway overpasses to watch for other bikers rushing to the scene to retaliate. Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said it’s too early to determine how many gang members will face murder charges.
2M
McLennan County Justice of the Peace W.H. Peterson set bond at $1 million for each suspect. Peterson also performed inquests on the nine dead bikers but declined to identify them pending notification of family. Five known gangs were believed to be involved in the brawl, Swanton said, but he would not identify them. Police acknowledged firing on armed bikers. But it was unclear how many of the dead were shot by gang members and how many had been shot by officers. Five gangs had gathered at the restaurant as part of a meeting to settle differences over turf and recruitment. Prior meetings had been held at the restaurant, and managers there had dismissed police concerns over the gatherings, Swanton said.
Twin Peaks, a national chain, on Monday revoked the franchise rights to the restaurant because the management team did not establish the “high security standards” that the company requires. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission on Monday issued a seven-day suspension of the restaurant’s liquor license. Police and the restaurant operators were aware of Sunday’s meeting in advance, and 18 Waco officers in addition to state troopers were outside when the fight began, Swanton said. Swanton said authorities had received threats against law enforcement “throughout the night” from biker groups and stood ready to confront any more violence. NOMA AN MERCHANT AND DAVID WARREN (AP)
More Americans will be exposed to heat waves in the future because of both rising temperatures and population growth in warmer areas, scientists warned in a study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. The risk of exposure to extreme heat could be as much as six times higher for the average American by 2070, compared with levels experienced in the last century, researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the City University of New York found. The projections carry significant implications for Americans’ health, as extreme heat kills more people than any other weather-related event, the study’s authors report. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Anti-gang police in San Salvador patrol neighborhoods at night looking for gang members. At right, four suspected members of gangs are detained.
At war in El Salvador
Police in the Central American country are stopping at nothing to curb gang violence
SAN SALVADOR Most nights now, men in black masks sweep through San Salvador house to house, rousting shirtless boys from their mattresses, shining flashlights across their torsos, looking for tattoos. The police officers rummage for drugs and guns but will settle for Nike Cortez sneakers — a gang favorite — or any symbol of affiliation, like a little grim reaper scribbled on a bedroom wall. Then it’s into cuffs and down to the station. Because for the 500 members of El Salvador’s anti-gang police force, this has become personal. In El Salvador, the homicide rate has spiked to its highest level in a decade, putting the
tiny Central American nation on pace to become the most deadly country in the hemisphere. Nearly the entire country is divvied up between the two main rivals, Mara Salvatrucha and the 18th Street gang. Police say there are now more than 30,000 gang members inside and outside prison; other estimates put the number at twice that, or about half the size of the nation’s police force. Since a 2012 truce between the two gangs crumbled last year, violence has surged. More than 1,800 people have been killed this year, including two dozen police officers, most slain while off-duty. Pedro Gonzalez, the leader of the police’s anti-gang force, didn’t
support the truce. He believes that the gangs used that time to rearm. Amid a public outcry, Gonzalez’s forces have ratcheted up their operations, killing suspected gang members and arresting more than 4,400 others this year. New laws have made it harder to investigate police violence. The country’s vice president, Oscar Ortiz, has said that police “must use weapons and should do so without fearing consequences for their actions.” The gangs issued a statement last month saying that police are the most dangerous criminals and “what their actions are feeding is war.” “It is a police force that is
riddled with corruption and has a very strong tendency to abuse authority under the pretext of security,” said Jeanne Rikkers, who has worked on police and human rights issues for years in San Salvador. “The general impression is the police can do whatever they want.” But Gonzalez says the political climate has changed. “If these killings of gang members had happened five years ago, these police would be in prison,” he said. “The population supports these types of procedures. They are seeing that the aggressive behavior of the police keeps the gangs from growing.” JOSHUA PARTLOW (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Underemployed college grads getting a boost The era of the overeducated barista is coming to a close. In the wake of the recession, the ranks of the unemployed in America doubled. Competition for the few open jobs was fierce. The result was an army of underemployed workers. Those with bachelor’s degrees who couldn’t get hired in their fields were taking positions as waitresses and receptionists, leaving those with less education to scramble for lower-skill jobs. “That’s not good for the economy in the long run,” said Jonathan Willis, vice president and economist at the Kansas City Federal Reserve. “You want a good allocation of workers, which ties to issues like productivity.” His research with fellow Fed economist Didem Tuzemen shows the trend is finally starting to reverse course. Over the past year, high skill jobs accounted for more than 80 percent of net job growth. That’s meant stronger employment for recent college graduates — underemployment is at 44.6 percent, down 2 percentage points from its peak a year ago — but it also means firms are increasingly hiring those with less education into high-skill jobs as well. That is opening doors all the way down the line, their analysis found. “The tide has turned,” New York Fed economists Jaison R. Abel and Richard Deitz wrote in their analysis. YLAN Q. MUI

Harper’s on quite a run
The source of Harper’s power surge
Staying healthy “This is the type of player I need to be and the type of player I want to be,” said Harper, who has played in all 39 games this season. “Everybody talks about how I’m doing this different or I’m doing that different. There’s nothing different. It’s staying healthy
Approach at the plate With the help of manager Matt Williams, Harper has calmed his swing, improved his rhythm and simplified his approach. He’s stabilized his lower body and is keeping his head still as he swings, helping him better recognize pitches. As a result, he can be more selective; he’s swung at a career-low 27.6 percent of pitches outside the strike zone this season, according to fangraphs.com. Before every game, Harper asks Williams how he would attack that day’s opposing pitcher and seeks his thoughts on Harper’s approach. “Having him around has been a lot of help,” Harper said. Williams’ advice in spring training still resonates. “He looked at me and said, ‘It’s not how far, it’s how many,’ ” Harper said. “You can get a ball out of the field that’s 375 and hit

NATIONALS Baseball is marveling at Bryce Harper this season — his growing patience at the plate, his power and his ongoing maturation into one of the game’s best hitters. In a superhuman display earlier this month, the 22-year-old became the youngest player in major league history to hit six home runs over three games. “I’ve been in baseball for 34 years and I’ve never seen a run like he’s been on hitting the ball in the seats,” Nationals hitting coach Rick Schu said. Through six weeks of the season, Harper has undoubtedly been the Nationals’ best player and among the best in baseball. He was already very good, but this season he’s developing into a better outfielder and an elite hitter. So what’s been the biggest differences?
and staying in the lineup.” Harper suffered his first significant injury, a hamstring strain, in 2011 at Class AA Harrisburg. In 2013, he hurt his left knee running into the right field wall and needed offseason surgery. Last season, he needed surgery on his left thumb after diving into third base. He still produced while averaging only 109 games each of the past two seasons, but not like he’s doing now.

Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has nine home runs in his past 11 games.
On a historic pace Entering Monday, Bryce Harper led the NL in these seven major offensive categories. (EXPRESS) Home runs (14) 162-game pace: 58
Since 2001, only Ryan Howard has reached 58 home runs in a season. RBIs (37) 162-game pace: 154
A player has had more than 150 RBIs in a season just twice since 2000. Runs (36) 162-game pace: 150
Since 1940, only Jeff Bagwell (2000) had more than 150 runs in a season. Walks (36) 162-game pace: 150
Only five players in MLB history have had 150 walks in a season. On-base percentage (.476) Since 2000, only Barry Bonds has had a single-season OBP above .480. Slugging percentage (.729) Just 21 players in MLB history have slugged higher than .729 in a season. On-base plus slugging (1.206) A 1.206 OPS in a single season would rank 19th in MLB history.

Defensive strides While much attention has focused on Harper’s maturation at the plate, another part of his game has also gotten better: his defense. After relying on him as the primary left fielder the past two seasons, the Nationals this offseason cemented Harper in right, a place where his strong right arm can be more useful. Right field is better for Harper in many ways because it fits his strengths more. He has three outfield assists already and has held runners to singles by cutting balls off in the gap better and making strong throws into the infield. Among qualified right fielders, Harper leads the majors with eight defensive runs saved. “I want to be a Gold Glove player,” Harper said. “I want my pitchers [to] rely on me every single day and I’ll make plays for them. I want a Gold Glove.” JAMES WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Wizards’ Wall to avoid surgery Like many of his teammates echoed Monday as the Wizards filed in and out of meetings one final time before dispersing for the offseason, John Wall is certain Washington would still be in the playoffs if he hadn’t fractured his left hand and wrist in five places. “If we didn’t have injuries,” Wall said, “we would have been past this round.” Wall suffered the fractures in Game 1 against the Hawks, and the Wizards couldn’t recover — even after Wall returned in Game 5. The Wizards were eliminated Friday. The All-Star said surgery isn’t necessary and he plans to see a hand specialist this week or next. “I’m still just doing a normal treatment routine I was doing, like I was playing,” he said. “Just consists of a lot of treatment and trying to keep the swelling down and letting the bone heal on its own.” (THE WASHINGTON POST) Judge puts off decision in Orioles, Nationals TV dispute

Marlins GM Dan Jennings named Miami’s manager
Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving says he’s ready for Game 1
Even the mother of the Marlins’ new manager is questioning the wisdom of the choice. Marlins general manager Dan Jennings was selected Monday to replace Mike Redmond in the dugout. Jennings has 31 years of experience in professional baseball, but he never played in the majors and has never managed. “It is outside the box, I will not deny that,” Jennings said at a news conference. “My mom, whom I love deeply, asked me, ‘Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?’ ” Redmond, who was in his third season, was fired Sunday after the Marlins fell to 16-22. (AP)
Kyrie Irving finished an animated post-practice shooting game of “Around The World” with LeBron James and then quickly removed any doubt about his playing status for Game 1. “I’m going to go,” he said. The Cavaliers will open the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday in Atlanta. Irving has been bothered by a sore right foot since Game 2 of the opening round against Boston, and he sat out the final half of the Cavaliers’ series-clinching win over Chicago last week with tendinitis in his left knee. A weekend of rest and rehab allowed Irving to make it through a full practice on Monday. (AP)

Capitals goalie Braden Holtby will be a restricted free agent on July 1.
Caps GM goes over offseason to-do list Finding a player to join Ovechkin, Backstrom on top line is a priority CAPITALS Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan said Monday that adding a top-line right winger to play with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom is among his offseason priorities. Speaking to reporters for the first time since the Capitals lost Game 7 in their second-round series against the Rangers last Wednesday, MacLellan noted that a more consistent option on their No. 1 line is desirable. Ovechkin and Backstrom played with nine different wingers this past season. “It’s on the shopping list,” MacLellan said. “It would be a priority for us if we could find a guy that could play there. … I don’t like to see revolving players go through that spot all year. You’d like to see more stability where a guy is there almost permanently.” MacLellan suggested that acquiring a top-line winger may have to come from a trade rather than through free agency. “Otherwise, we’ll have to develop a guy,” he said. “We’ll have
to look at [Andre] Burakovsky; we’re going to have to find a guy. But that is a priority.” Re-signing upcoming restricted free agents Braden Holtby, Marcus Johansson and Evgeny Kuznetsov is also on MacLellan’s offseason to-do list. All three are due raises, but MacLellan cautioned that players may have to take less than market value to help keep the team intact. “It’s important for players to realize that we’ve had a successful team and if they believe we have a chance moving forward to win a championship, going for max dollars, which you could make the choice to do, … would hinder our ability to compete going forward.” The NHL salary cap is expected to be around $70 million next season. As it stands now, the Capitals have just under $50 million invested in 14 players, not including restricted free agents Holtby, Johansson, Kuznetsov and Nate Schmidt. MacLellan said he hopes the team can re-sign unrestricted free agents Jay Beagle and Eric Fehr, but sounded less optimistic about Mike Green or Joel Ward returning. BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS)

Easing the wheezing Down for the pollen count? Fight your allergies, and come out smelling like a rose. TREATMENT Kelly Ann Collins of Bethesda thought she had her allergies beat. After years of taking daily antihistamines and, often, antibiotics for chronic sinus infections, she discovered several food allergies were making her more susceptible to seasonal allergens. For the past few years, diet alone has kept her sinus infections at bay. But last week, Collins awoke to find her eyes swollen shut from pollen that was lodged inside them. Now she’s back on antibiotics, this time for pinkeye. The CEO of a social media company, Collins took to Twitter to vent: “Am I living inside a flower + sleeping on a pollen pillow? Feels like it. Wow.” It was retweeted more than 200 times. If pollen seems to feel more onerous each year, that’s because it is. This season continues a 20year trend of increased pollen in the atmosphere, according to the Landover, Md.-based Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America,
which ascribes the trend to rising temperatures and greenhouse gasses. In D.C., the delayed onset of spring has made for a compressed allergy season — trees pollinated late but quickly, and grass pollen is expected to blow in soon, says Dipa Sheth, an allergist and immunologist at the GW Medical Faculty Associates. That may explain the term “pollen tsunami” being bandied about. “You keep getting assaulted, basically,” Sheth says. But D.C.’s sneezing, itching and congested masses can take steps to feel better. For starters, identify the source of the allergy, Sheth says. That involves seeing an allergist for skin-prick testing and, from there, avoiding or managing triggers. If grass is the problem, for example, skip the mowing, she says, or proceed with a mask and meds. As for medicine, don’t wait until symptoms strike to start using over-the-counter nasal sprays and non-sedating antihistamines.
“Am I living inside a flower + sleeping on a pollen pillow? Feels like it. Wow.” KELLY ANN COLLINS, a Bethesdabased CEO of a social media company, tweeting last week while grappling with a pollen-induced eye infection.
What exactly are allergy symptoms? Itchy eyes, runny nose, fatigue — the same ones as with a cold, says Talal Nsouli, a professor of pediatrics at Georgetown University School of Medicine and director of the Watergate & Burke Allergy & Asthma Centers. “A cold that doesn’t go away is an allergy.” The severely allergic may consider immunotherapy through a course of injections, says Sheth, who noted recent FDA approval of immunotherapy tablets for grass and ragweed allergies. Meanwhile, simple measures
The Anacostia Watershed Society adds Yoga Paddle to its Safari Series canoe tours, which begin May 30
can relieve allergies. Avoid tracking pollen into the home by closing windows and doors, leaving shoes at the door and changing clothes when coming home, Sheth says. “You can go to your room” for that last bit. “You don’t have to strip right there.” Allergy sufferers need not seal themselves off to the outdoors — except, perhaps, on high-pollen days — but should use caution. “Be picky about when you head outside,” says Sanaz Eftekhari, spokeswoman for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, noting that pollen counts are highest in the morning. She also suggests showering nightly to rid pollen from hair and using products that meet allergy standards (see aafa.org/certified for more info). The bottom line: Manage your allergies so they don’t manage you. “A lot of people just wait until they’re miserable,” Eftekhari says. “Be proactive about it.” I d e a l ly, t h a t w i l l h e l p you breathe a sigh of relief.
Maryland artist Kara Brook tries to use sustainable products whenever possible, so she became a beekeeper to produce a homegrown supply of wax to use in her encaustic paintings. The foray has since led her to sell honey and honeyed treats at her shop Honey House in Owings Mills, Md., and on her website, waxingkara.com. Now, Brook has launched a line of honey-rich body scrubs. “Your skin is the largest organ in your body, so you have to feed it the way you feed your body,” she says. The scrubs ($28) come in three varieties: Good Fortune, which uses green tea; Haute Cocoa, crafted with cocoa; and Grounded, made with coffee beans. Our test found that they left skin deeply moisturized — and the user with a strong hankering for a latte with her chocolate. RACHEL POMERANCE BERL (EXPRESS)

Coping with trial separation anxiety I’m guessing that part of your instinct to walk on eggshells is not about guilt, but rather fear. It sounds like he’ll make it very hard for you to do what you feel is best for you, and that he will be relentless in getting his way (romantic in movies, but not so
much with a real-life controlling ex). Give yourself even more emotional space to get out from his grip, to evaluate your feelings and generate a plan of action. It’s great he’s working on himself, but that may
BEN CLAASSEN III
Q. I’m six weeks into a trial separation. My heart is telling me I’m better off alone. My husband can be very controlling, but I am struggling with guilt that he thinks we will reconcile. He is trying hard to address the issues we had and is in counseling himself. I don’t want to lead him on, but if I tell him “divorce” I know he will only increase his efforts to win me back. DOUBTING THINGS not be enough. And you need a space of your own to hear yourself think, and to have those thoughts and feelings validated. Seek counseling on your own, so that your decision is one that springs from your own wants and needs — not his.

Q. I am in my first real relationship. I love him, but he makes little, picky comments about my appearance. When you add them up, he has criticized practically every part of my body. It’s like “You should run more — I bet it would tone you up” or “Time for a trim — your hair is out of control.” It ruins the moment. He thinks I’m too sensitive and he’s just trying to be helpful. EVERYTHING PERFECT BUT THIS This is the reality: He’s consistently criticizing you, then criticizing your feelings about being criticized. If he thinks it’s “helpful” to repeatedly make you feel unattractive, and
then to tell you that you should just get used to it, I urge you to reconsider this whole shebang. First relationships can be bliss, but they run the risk of making you settle for subpar treatment. I hear your love for him, but in situations like this, that attachment can make it harder to pull the plug — even when an advice columnist’s gut tells you to.

Fighting the ‘Good’ fight on screen
The “Pitch Perfect” ladies want to see more films made by women, not more roles as “the girlfriend.”
What not to learn from ‘Pitch Perfect’ success “Pitch Perfect” made a boatload of money last weekend — more than $70 million. In its efforts to replicate that success, what will filmmakers learn? Probably not that women make money too, and they’re willing to spend it on a movie that’s worth their time. Based on recent history of faulty showbiz logic, we can guess what Hollywood will take away. STEPHANIE MERRY (THE WASHINGTON POST) Why not put Anna Kendrick in a superhero movie as a girlfriend?
Elizabeth Banks should direct a movie about a female superhero.
We should totally make more movies about singing competitions.
Kendrick is a tiny and hilarious actress. You know who else is tiny and talented and underutilized in superhero movies? Emma Stone, Natalie Portman and Amy Adams, Oscar nominees doing time as love interests in “The Amazing Spider-Man,” “Thor” and the upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
Deadline reports Banks had the highest opening ever for a first-time director. Promising directors tend to be rewarded by getting a franchise deal, which takes them away from new work. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (“The Lego Movie”) will direct “The Flash” and Rian Johnson (“Looper”) is on board for “Star Wars: Episode VIII.”
If a movie works well, why not make more just like it? That’s the wisdom when it comes to blockbusters. No sooner is “Guardians of the Galaxy” a hit than “Suicide Squad” is announced. And if one live-action Disney tale does well, why not transform all the animated classics? Brace yourself for movies with titles like “Beat Down” and “Tune Up.”
Let’s sign the crew up for multi-film deals and spinoffs. If audiences liked watching Beca (Kendrick) and Jesse (Skylar Astin) fall in love, maybe they’d also like to watch as Beca and Jesse pursue music careers, but are torn apart by jealousy (because Beca makes it, while Jesse flounders). In a few years, producers can remake the first movie with fresh new faces. Who has time for originality when there’s money to be made?

Following months of rumors of a rift between “The Good Wife” actresses Julianna Margulies, below left, and Archie Panjabi, below right, Entertainment Weekly reported that the two did not film their final shared scene together. The site said the scene was edited to make it appear as though the two characters were seated next to each other at a bar for Kalinda’s (Panjabi) goodbye to Alicia (Margulies). The May 11 Season 6 finale marked Panjabi’s last episode on the show. According to TVLine, she and Margulies have not shared a scene together in nearly three seasons, reportedly due to a feud.

DO YOU DRINK A LOT OF ALCOHOL? This project (NIH Study #14-AA-0042) aims to study a trial drug which may decrease alcohol use. We would like to determine whether this drug is safe and acceptable when given along with alcohol. Successful volunteers will be: - In good health and drug free - Between the ages of 21 and 65 - Willing to come for two outpatient visits and three inpatient visits (each inpatient visit includes four overnight stays at the NIH Clinical Center). Participants will have a free medical evaluation and be compensated for doing the study. Transportation to and from all visits will be provided. Study enrollment will be limited to 12 participants.

blog log “I’ve never wanted to be President but now I’m thinking about all the favs and RTs I could get from that POTUS handle.” @CONNORFINNEGAN sees some real Web presence boosting for President Barack
Obama, who unexpectedly joined Twitter on Monday morning. “Hello, Twitter! It’s Barack. Really! Six years in, they’re finally giving me my own account,” the president said in his inaugural @POTUS tweet. According to an official White House blog post, the account will serve as a way for Obama to engage directly with the American people. Unlike other accounts associated with the president, tweets from this account will come exclusively from him.
“It’s 2015, the ‘idiot abroad’ genre should be over.” @JONSULLIVAN is shocked by an article published last week by Newsweek that’s being called tone-deaf and racist. “A bewildered Westerner struggled in Beijing,” by Peter Leggatt, opens with the description that China “smells like fortune cookies.” Things just get worse from there, with Leggatt packing as many stereotypes in as possible. Newsweek has yet to comment on the backlash.

“Her ‘apology’ is as bad as the gaffe.” COMMENTER DRETUTZ AT TALKINGPOINTSMEMO.COM rejects the apology Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif., issued after a video surfaced of her making an offensive “war cry” gesture. Sanchez explained that she made whooping sounds during a “crazy and exciting rush” while she was telling a group of Indian Americans on Saturday about a time she assumed an Indian man would be Native American.

no one at the Baltimore-based brand recognized the offensiveness of a shirt. Under Armour apologized Sunday for its “Band of Ballers” T-shirt, mirrored after the iconic image of a group of servicemen raising the American flag on Iwo Jima during World War II, and removed it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have only so much time to get everything done, and it’s not likely to be quite as much as you expected. CANCER (June 21-July 22) What you do with friends can be more meaningful than anything you accomplish on your own. Group efforts are favored. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may want to put an end to something that hasn’t even really gotten started, but circumstances favor taking it just a little further. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It’s time for you to put on a brave front and get going on something that will require you to face your fears in a new way.

You’re likely to come up with a plan that all but guarantees success, but you won’t be able to get it started on your own.
TODAY: A cold front pushing through the area lowers humidity a hair compared with Monday, but we probably have more sunshine so high temperatures are just as hot. The front may trigger some scattered showers and storms (40-50 percent chance). Any lingering showers or storms should quickly fade after sunset.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You know that it’s now or never, but you may be held back by a certain insecurity you’ve been fighting for some time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may not expect things to progress as quickly as they do. You can keep up, provided you have your ducks in a row.

Taylor Swift is officially hot, not just pretty
Just married: The real star of ‘Glee’ “Glee” star Heather Morris (aka Brittany) married her high school sweetheart, Taylor Hubbell, on Saturday in Topanga, Calif. Several “Glee” alums attended, including Naya Rivera, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Vanessa Lengies and Grant Gustin, Us Weekly reported. Morris and Hubbell welcomed their first child in September 2014, and got engaged last August. (EXPRESS)
Maxim has placed Taylor Swift in the No. 1 spot on its annual Hot 100 list. The men’s magazine calls her “dazzling, self-assured and ferociously talented,” and “the world’s most relevant and intriguing woman.” Of the honor, Swift said, “It’s really nice and such an incredible compliment. This year has been my favorite year of my life so far. I got to make an album exactly the way I wanted to make it. I got to put it out exactly the way that I dreamed of putting it out,” she said. She also told Maxim, “To me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it’s just basically another word for equality.” (EXPRESS)
