Experts warn that the games could pose health risks to athletes if changes aren’t made.

Study: Nuke Officers Burning Out Washington Trouble inside the Air Force’s nuclear missile force runs deeper and wider than officials have let on. An unpublished study for the Air Force, obtained by The Associated Press, cites “burnout” among launch ofﬁcers with their ﬁngers on the triggers of 450 weapons of mass destruction. The study, provided in draft form, also says that court-martial rates in the nuclear missile force in 2011 and 2012 were more than twice as high as in the overall Air Force. Administrative punishments, such as written reprimands for rules violations and other misbehavior, also were higher in those years. These indicators add a new

Long, Tiring Hours Working in the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile force has always been considered hard duty, in part because of the enormous responsibility of safely operating nuclear missiles. Every hour of every day, 90 launch officers are in underground command posts that control Minuteman 3 missiles. Inside each buried capsule are two officers responsible for 10 missiles, each in a separate silo, armed with one or more nuclear warheads and ready for launch within minutes. They await a presidential launch order that has never arrived in the more than 50-year history of American ICBMs. The duty can be tiresome, with limited opportunities for career advancement and the constraints of life in remote areas of the U.S. (AP)

dimension to an emerging picture of malaise inside the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile force, an arm of the Air Force with a proud heritage but an uncertain future. Concerned about heightened levels of misconduct, the Air Force directed RAND Corp., the federally funded research house, to conduct a three-month study of work conditions and attitudes among the men and women inside the ICBM force. It found a toxic mix of frus-

tration and aggravation, heightened by a sense of being unappreciated, overworked, micromanaged and at constant risk of failure. The AP was advised in May of the conﬁdential study by a person who said it should be made public to improve understanding of discontent within the ICBM force. After repeated inquiries, the Air Force provided it Friday and arranged for RAND ofﬁcials and two senior Air Force generals to explain it.

It also found what it termed “burnout” — feeling exhausted, cynical and ineffective on the job, according to Chaitra Hardison, RAND’s senior behavioral scientist and lead author of the study. She used a system of measure that asks people to rate on a scale of 1 to 7 — from “never” to “always” — how often in their work they experience certain feelings, including tiredness, hopelessness and a sense of being trapped. An average score of 4 or above is judged to put the person in the “burnout” range. The 13 launch officers who volunteered for the study scored an average of 4.4 on the burnout scale, tied for highest in the group. A group of 20 junior enlisted airmen assigned to missile security forces also scored 4.4. One anonymous service member said: “We don’t care if things go properly. We just don’t want to get in trouble.” ROBERT BURNS (AP)

Eat Nuts, Live Longer? Study: From peanuts to almonds, all tied to lower risk of death Dallas

A f f o r d a b l e V i n ta g e

www .SIMON V INTAGE. com

Help yourself to some nuts this holiday season: Regular nut eaters were less likely to die of cancer or heart disease — in fact, were less likely to die of any cause — during a 30-year Harvard study. Nuts have long been called heart-healthy, and the study is the largest ever done on whether eating them affects mortality. Researchers tracked 119,000 men and women and found that those who ate nuts roughly every day were 20 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who never ate nuts. Eating nuts less often lowered the death risk, too, in direct proportion to consumption. The risk of dying of heart dis-

ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING And CHANGE

Some Unanswered Questions Researchers don’t know why nuts may boost health. It could be that their unsaturated fatty acids, minerals and other nutrients lower cholesterol and inflammation and reduce other problems, as earlier studies seemed to show. Observational studies like the Harvard one can’t prove cause and effect, only suggest a connection. People who eat more nuts may eat them on salads, for example, and some of the benefit may come from the leafy greens, said Dr. Robert Eckel, a University of Colorado cardiologist and former president of the American Heart Association. (AP)

ease dropped 29 percent and the risk of dying of cancer fell 11 percent among those who had nuts seven or more times a week compared with people who never ate them. The benefits were seen from peanuts as well as from pistachios, almonds, walnuts and other tree nuts. The researchers did not look at how the nuts were prepared — oiled or salted, raw or roasted. A bonus: Nut eaters stayed slimmer. “There’s a general perception that if you eat more nuts, you’re

Tough Talk in Nuke Negotiations Geneva A new round of Iran nuclear talks began in fits and starts Wednesday, with the two sides ending a first session just minutes after it began amid warnings from Iran’s supreme leader of “red lines” beyond which his country will not compromise. Still, both sides indicated a first-step agreement was possible on a deal to roll back Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for limited sanctions relief, despite strong opposition from Israel and unease in both Congress and among Iranian hard-liners. A senior U.S. off icial said Wednesday’s brief plenary was only a formality and that bilateral

What’s at Stake Western diplomats hope to reach an accord that would halt Iran’s nuclear efforts while negotiators pursue a more comprehensive agreement that would ensure Tehran’s program is solely for civilian purposes. Iran would get some sanctions relief under such a first-step deal, without any easing of the most harsh measures — those crippling its ability to sell oil, its main revenue maker. Iran has suggested it could curb its highest-known level of enrichment — at 20 percent — in a possible deal. (AP)

meetings would continue through the evening to try to hammer out the ﬁrst steps of a deal. The talks are being convened by Catherine Ashton, the European Union’s top diplomat. Her spokesman, Michael Mann, said

Iran draws ‘red lines,’ but both sides think deal is still possible

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of Iran, criticized Israel on Wednesday.

there is “room for ﬂexibility” on sanctions relief if Iran’s concessions warrant it. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki expressed optimism, saying the Obama administration believes “we have an opportunity to move forward on a diplomatic path with the Iranians.”

However, there was also tough talk, reﬂecting tensions from nearly a decade of negotiations that have begun to make headway only recently. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, insisted there are limits to the concessions Tehran will make, though he also said he would not “interfere in the details of the talks,” in a clear nod of support for the government of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. He also blasted Israel as “the rabid dog of the region” — comments rejected by French President Francois Hollande as “unacceptable.” For his part, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed ahead with criticism of what he asserts is a deal in the making that will give Iran too much for too little in return.

Shedding Tears Over Rising Onion Prices Officials face public grilling in India over high cost of bulbs

your destination to indulge every impulse

New Delhi

GUESS H H H

Can a country of 1.2 billion people really come undone over a lowly vegetable? In India these days, the answer is yes. Onion prices have soared in recent weeks, sending a country that views the vegetable as a culinary staple into a tailspin. Cable news reporters do breathless standups from local markets. Special onion vans have been dispatched to affected areas. Protesters have taken to the streets wearing garlands of the pungent vegetable. The governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan, was even asked about onions during a recent news conference. “We have no immediate capacity to bring down onion prices,” he said with a slight smile. “The Great Indian Tearjerker,”

as one local newspaper dubbed the saga, began in August, when the price of onions nationwide inexplicably began to rise. In the weeks that followed, onion prices in the capital and other major cities have at times topped 70 cents a pound, an increase of about 280 percent. The reason for this is as multilayered as the veggie itself. Rajan has suggested that rising consumption may be a factor. Weather — a drought followed by an overlong monsoon season — is also an issue. Other public officials have blamed darker forces, suggesting that traders at the big vegetable markets are ﬁxing prices or that hoarders are keeping the bulbs in cold storage until the prices rise. Delhi’s chief minister, Sheila Dikshit, who rose to power during a previous onion crisis, in 1998, has held news conferences in recent days to ask for patience and plead for black marketing to stop. “We are trying our best to see that prices come down,” Dikshit said.

Transit Center’s Repairs List Grows Longer SARAH L. VOISIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Troubled, costly hub in Silver Spring will open in mid-2014 at earliest Silver Spring Montgomery County, Md., officials have determined that the troubled Silver Spring Transit Center, which is two years behind schedule and tens of millions of dollars over budget, needs even more extensive repairs before it opens to the public, officials said Tuesday. In addition to ﬁxing cracks that appeared throughout the three-level structure, project contractors need to strengthen about 250 inte-

mates are that it will be mid-2014 at the earliest before the center is opened. The center, at Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road, will bring together Metro, Ride On, MARC, Amtrak, intercity bus lines, taxis and other transportation services. Dise’s disclosure raised fresh questions about the facility’s orig-

inal design. Two engineering consultants said this year that it was too rigid, leaving little room for natural movement and increasing the likelihood of serious cracking. The beam-and-girder issue was first raised in March by KCE, the engineering firm hired by the county to investigate cracking in the largely concrete facility. Asked why it took an additional eight months to conclude that the beams and girders would have to be reinforced, Dise said other challenges — including problems with concrete thickness and lack of steel supports in key roadway segments — needed to be resolved first.

Nearby Hospitals Had Room for Deeds’ Son Va. to probe why he was let go after a psychiatric evaluation prior to the violence Bath County, Va. The state inspector general’s office has opened an investigation into why the son of Virginia state Sen. Creigh Deeds was released from custody the day before he apparently stabbed his father and then fatally shot himself. “We’re going to investigate the circumstances that led up to Austin Deeds’ release at the expiration for the emergency custody order,” said Douglas Bevelacqua, director of the behavior health and developmental services investigations and inspections for the Office of Inspector General. He declined to elaborate on what the investigation will cover.

Backstory The incident thrust state Sen. Creigh Deeds back into the spotlight after several quiet years. He was the 2009 Democratic nominee for governor, but lost to Republican Bob McDonnell. After the defeat, Deeds largely receded from public view, though he stayed on in the Senate. The violence also culminated what appears to have been a downward spiral for Deeds’ son, a campaign volunteer for his father who recently dropped out of college. (twP)

The investigation opened as news emerged Wednesday that three hospitals near Bath County had available beds the day of Austin Deeds’ psychiatric evaluation. Creigh Deeds’ condition was upgraded to good at a Charlottesville, Va., hospital as investigators and mental-health officials contin-

ued to search for an explanation of what happened. Austin Deeds, who was 24, had undergone the evaluation Monday, but officials initially said he was not admitted to a hospital because no bed was available. It remained unclear Wednesday which hospitals were called and why Austin Deeds was not taken to one of the available facilities. On Tuesday, the younger Deeds apparently took his own life following an altercation during which he stabbed his father in the face and chest in rural Bath County. Officials with Western State Hospital in Staunton, Va.; Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg, Va.; and the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville — all within two hours of Bath — confirmed Wednesday that the facilities had been in a position to accept Deeds’ son but were never asked to.

D.C. College to Cut Some Majors and Keep Athletics to ﬁnd savings. Elaine Crider, the board chairwoman, said she was “not in agreement” with eliminating intercollegiate sports. Trustees otherwise largely supported proposals by Lyons to reshape the curriculum in what he described as a bid to forge stronger connections with employers. They voted to eliminate undergraduate majors in subjects such as sociology, which has 31 students, as well as economics (23 students), history (20) and physics (four). The school will use money saved from the cuts to bolster remaining programs. A few degree programs that had been considered for elimination were spared in the ﬁnal version of Lyons’ proposal, including a major in elementary education.

Washington Trustees of the University of the District of Columbia voted Tuesday night to delay a proposal to disband the school’s intercollegiate sports teams, strongly signaling that they want the school to remain in NCAA Division II athletics. But they approved the end of 17 academic degree programs. The proposal from the university’s interim president, James Lyons, marked a major effort to reshape the struggling public school, including ending participation in NCAA sports. The athletic program cost about $4.1 million last year, more than the $1.1 million it generated. But the Board of Trustees voted 7 to 5 to delay action on disbanding sports teams and seek other ways

Three members of a Washington-area family and 14 others were arrested Wednesday in an ongoing investigation into an alleged drug ring that stretches from Texas to D.C. The arrests follow two indictments that allege that the defendants conspired to distribute heroin, cocaine and marijuana. Law enforcement officials seized guns, heroin, PCP and cash at 17 locations searched Wednesday in Maryland and D.C.

Police: ATF Agent, Wife Die in Domestic Shooting Authorities have identified the two people who died in a shooting early Wednesday morning at a home in Chantilly, Va., as a veteran ATF agent and his wife. Fairfax County police said the shooting was domestic-related and there was no threat to public safety. Two teenage girls were inside the home and were not injured. (AP)

An advisory commission recommended Tuesday that Arlington National Cemetery end by December 2014 its relaxed policy on mementos in a section for those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cemetery-wide policy allows only flowers and small photographs at grave markers, but in Section 60, people have been leaving such things as wind chimes and holiday lights. (AP)

Cover Story

For Young, Online Slurs Don’t Sting But while they take it as a joke, those surveyed say trash talk is still not OK Washington Most young people say they aren’t very offended about the slurs and mean-spirited videos mocking overweight people or gays or blacks that they encounter on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. “You can’t let those things get to you,” says 15-year-old Vito Calli, an immigrant from Argentina whose online friends tease him with jokes about Hispanics. In a notable shift, however, young people are coming around to the idea that it’s wrong to contribute to this ugly side of the Internet free-for-all, a poll released Wednesday shows. A bare majority, 52 percent, of people ages 14 to 24 now say it’s never OK to engage in discriminatory language, even when it’s just among friends who don’t really mean it. That’s up from 44 percent in 2011. A stronger majority — nearly 6 in 10 — say using slurs is wrong, even if you say you’re “just kidding.” Only about half were so disapproving two years ago. Meanwhile, the share of young people who come across slurs online has held steady, according to the new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV. More than half of young users of YouTube, Facebook and gaming communities such as Xbox Live and Steam say they sometimes or often encounter biased messages. Teens and 20-somethings say these slurs and taunting images they see online are mostly meant as jokes. The majority say they aren’t very offended

54% Those who are overweight

50% Gay, lesbian or bisexual people

46% AfricanAmericans

when they see foul words online for women or gays — or even the N-word for African-Americans. “Sometimes I make a couple of jokes that might be offensive to someone and I don’t even realize it,” said Calli of Reading, Pa. “You forget there’s a person behind the computer with actual feelings.” Because a friend chastised him, the high school sophomore has tried to stop labeling anything uncool either “gay” or “retarded.” He’s ﬁnding that a difﬁcult habit to break. Young people say derogatory words are most often posted online or texted on cellphones to be funny or cool. Less than a third believe a major reason people use slurs is because they actually harbor hateful feelings toward the groups they are maligning. Most do see hateful thoughts as at least a minor reason, however. Some slurs are taken more seriously than others. Racial insults are not that likely to be seen as hurtful, yet a strong majority — 6 in 10 — felt com-

44% Women

Who’s Targeted Most? Who’s most often in the cross-hairs of online slurs? Overweight people, according to a poll of Internet users ages 14 to 24. When does it seem most hurtful? When aimed at transgender people. What about potshots at blacks or women? Young people mostly take those as jokes. In the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV, young people take stock of the discriminatory words and images they see online. The study offers a look at who young people say are being targeted sometimes or most often by offensive language online:

42% Men who dress or carry themselves in a feminine way

“Kids were horrible before the Internet existed. It’s just that now it’s more accessible to the public eye.” — JEFFRE Y BA K K EN, 23, WHO WORKS AT A VIDEO GAME COMPANY IN CHICAGO, SAYING THAT BAD STUFF ONLINE SHOULDN’T DEFINE TODAY’S YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HE SAYS ARE MORE COMMITTED TO EQUAL RIGHTS FOR MINORITIES AND GAYS THAN PREVIOUS GENERATIONS

34% 32%

Immigrants

Latinos

Context Is Key Demeaned groups sometimes reclaim slurs as a way of stripping the words of their power — like the feminist “Bitch” magazine or gay rights activists chanting “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it!” That seems to have changed the way people perceive such words. (AP)

ments and images targeting transgender people or Muslims are. Almost as likely to be viewed as mean-spirited are slurs against gays, lesbians and bisexual people, and those aimed at people who are overweight. Maria Caprigno, who has struggled with obesity since childhood, said seeing mean images on Facebook stings. But she thinks the online world reﬂects the rest of U.S. society. “It’s still socially acceptable to comment on someone’s weight and what someone is eating,” said Caprigno, 18, of Norwood, Mass. “We need to change that about our culture before people realize posting stuff like that online is going to be offensive to someone.”

31% 31% Muslims

Transgender people

In the poll, young people said they were less likely to ask someone to stop using hurtful language on a social networking site than face to face. A lexandria Washington said she’s accustomed to seeing men who wouldn’t say offensive things to her in person post pictures of “half-naked women in sexual positions,” followed by demeaning comments and slurs like “whore” and “ratchet.” There seems to be a desensitizing effect. Those who report more exposure to discriminatory images and words online are less likely to say it’s wrong than those who rarely or never encounter it. The AP-NORC Center/MTV poll was conducted online Sept. 27-Oct. 7 among a random national sample of 1,297 people between the ages of 14 and 24. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. Funding for the study was provided by MTV as part of “A Thin Line” campaign to stop digital abuse.

RGIII Clears the Air QB talks with Moss and coaching staff to explain comments Redskins Robert Griffin III on Wednesday said he would take back comments he made after the Redskins’ latest loss and privately explained his words to teammate Santana Moss and coaches. It was the latest bit of damage control in a disappointing season for the under-the-microscope quarterback. Griffi n was dealing with the backlash from the comments he made after the Washington Redskins’ 24-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, when his third-and-1 heave was intercepted in the end zone in the final minute to end his team’s last chance to tie the game. “I think at the end of the day, I just have to know in that situation after a tough loss to a divisional opponent I can’t give anybody any opportunity to read into my words and misinterpret anything,” Griffin said. “Some of the things I said, I was trying to give a good compliment to Philly. I wasn’t trying

A Lot to Talk About Since Sunday’s loss, several Redskins players have weighed in on the team’s perceived problems:

“[The Eagles] were there, where they needed to be, and a lot of times they were taking the routes that needed to be run, and that’s disheartening, but we have to come up with something for that.” — REDSKINS QB ROBERT GRIFFIN III, FOLLOWING SUNDAY’S 24-16 LOSS TO THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

“Whether you’re the receiver, the quarterback, the guys making the tackle, whoever, regardless of the outcome, good or bad, you have to at some point stand up and say ‘me’ or ‘I.’ ” — REDSKINS WR SANTANA MOSS, DURING HIS WEEKLY APPEARANCE ON 106.7 THE FAN’S “LAVAR & DUKES” SHOW ON TUESDAY

“Sometimes, I don’t think people really appreciate how great this kid is. Last year, he stepped on the scene and did so much stuff. He was asked to be the savior of the franchise for a team that hadn’t had a franchise quarterback in 20-some-odd years. ” — REDSKINS LB LONDON FLETCHER, ON GRIFFIN BEING A LEADER

“I couldn’t care less what nobody says. I just have to do my job whether they say good things or bad things. Doesn’t faze me. I’ve heard it all before.” — REDSKINS WR PIERRE GARCON, ON GRIFFIN’S POSTGAME COMMENTS PARTIALLY BLAMING HIS GAME-LOSING INTERCEPTION ON THE FACT THAT NONE OF HIS PASS-CATCHERS GOT OPEN

Griffin’s specific words Sunday were hardly earth-shattering, but they were just enough to stoke a prevalent notion that he doesn’t always take his fair share of blame and that his relationship with the coaching staff isn’t the greatest. Moss told 106.7 The Fan on Tuesday that: “Regardless of the outcome, good or bad, you have to at some point stand up and say ‘me’ or ‘I.’ ” Moss met with Griffin and then attempted to put a new spin on his own comments Wednesday, saying they were meant as a message to all leaders that it’s best to take responsibility no matter who’s at fault. “It was nothing that I said should make you believe that we’re not cool,” Moss said. Griffin said he and Moss were “on the same page.” Griffin also met with coach Mike Shanahan and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, explaining that “scheming us up” wasn’t a dig at them. Asked to explain his relationship with the two, he said: “It’s three guys that want to win football games.” “We want to win and that’s the bottom line,” Griffin said. “Whenever you’re not winning, it creates a lot of madness, especially in where we’re at right now with the Washington Redskins. The only way to stop the madness is for us to win and you’ve got three guys — Coach, Kyle, myself — we all want to win and that’s a good recipe.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP) Have a bold prediction for the Redskins’ game against the 49ers on Monday?

A trip to a cidery may change your idea of what fermented apple juice can be.

Along Came a Cider

Local cideries are putting alcoholic apple juice back on the map — and in your glass Diane Flynt had an orchard full of apples and a piein-the-sky idea: to return cider — hard, alcoholic cider — to its rightful place as America’s favorite beverage. She’s one of a handful of Johnny Appleseed-style evangelists across the country who have spent the past decade plotting a revival of the drink. (Appleseed’s famous fruit trees were, in fact, for cider.) In 2005, when Flynt and her husband, Chuck, opened Foggy Ridge Cider off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Dugspur, it was the only cidery in the commonwealth of Virginia. Today there are eight. And that’s a perfectly good excuse to raise a glass of something bubbly, says Flynt, who’s spearheading Cider Week Virginia (which began Nov. 15 and ends Sunday; ciderweekva.com). Nearly 50 events throughout the state — including cider-food pairings, home cider-

making workshops and cider cocktail tastings — were arranged for the second annual festival, which is designed to open minds as well as mouths. “Cider isn’t one thing. It’s like beer and wine,” Flynt says. “If I lined up five Virginia ciders now,

you could have five different flavors, as different as Champagne and pinot grigio.” To experience the full range of local cider — single varietals, ice ciders, cider ports, hop-infused ciders and more — you need a map. (And an impressive tolerance.) That’s why Flynt recently put together a brochure with information on all eight of Virginia’s cideries. What she’s dubbed the Virginia Cider Trail already features more stops than anyone could pack into a single day. It extends from Foggy Ridge’s outpost in far southwestern Virginia, through a cluster of cideries around Charlottesville, over to Richmond’s Blue Bee (Virginia’s first urban cidery) and north to Winchester Ciderworks. Maryland’s cider scene is lag-

Hard Work Anyone can make cider. Leave out a jug of unpasteurized apple juice (available for sale at several cideries) and it will naturally ferment. Wait too long, though, and it will turn to vinegar. Making a cider worth swigging is half science and half art. It starts with apple selection, picking varieties that possess the right balance of three qualities: sugar, acid and tannin. Next is the chemistry test: Which yeast to use? Then comes carefully monitored fermentation. The result is a drink that’s glutenfree, typically with an alcohol content between 5 and 10 percent. V.H.

ging behind, with just three cideries in the state: Distillery Lane Ciderworks near Frederick, Great Shoals Winery in Silver Spring and Millstone Cellars north of Baltimore. But the trio are close together geographically and eager to establish a similar cider trail. As a first step, they hosted a scavenger hunt last weekend to encourage visitors to trek to all of their tasting rooms. With people interested in buying locally and drinking experimentally, the market is ripe for cider, says Kyle Sherrer, co-owner and fermentologist for Millstone Cellars. Everything he bottles is limited to ingredients found within 150 miles and packs surprises, such as gingerroot, fresh raspberry juice, cranberry honey and Baltimore fish peppers. (“Why let craft brewers have all the fun?” Sherrer says.) Fermented apple juice has come a long way since its heyday in the Colonial era, when cider’s strongest selling point was that it was safer and more palatable than water. In the late 1800s, as the soft drink industry emerged and beer competed for American taste buds, cider fell out of favor. Then attitudes about alcohol shifted. “Prohibition put the nail in cider’s coffin,” says Charlotte Shelton, co-founder of Albemarle Ciderworks, near Charlottesville, Va. Teetotalers co-opted the term “cider” to refer to juice, which is why the alcoholic version is called “hard” today.

entertainment | Weekend Pass Sippin’ on Cider Week Virginia

Overlooked for a century, the hard stuff is finally getting the hard sell. Several big-name beer manufacturers have recently jumped into the cider business, rolling out products such as Stella Artois Cidre, Michelob Ultra Light Cider and Angry Orchard Hard Cider (from the Boston Beer Co., best known for Samuel Adams). These and other mass-produced “macro ciders” tend to be sweeter and blander than what local cideries produce. But they help whet customers’ palates for more artisanal, adventurous stuff, says Rob Miller of Distillery Lane Ciderworks. “Maybe then they’ll try a dry cider,” Miller says. “Or something not sparkling.”

As part of Cider Week Virginia, a cider tasting will replace the usual weekly beer tasting at Cowgirl Creamery (919 F St. NW; cowgirlcreamery.com). From 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. Thursday, visitors can try swigs of three varieties from Albemarle Ciderworks paired with a trio of cheeses. “Classic apples and cheddar — it’s an old-school concept,” manager Joyce Miller says. Keep sipping through the weekend with these other events around Virginia:

THURSDAY Twisted Vines Bottleshop & Bistro (2803 Columbia Pike, Arlington; twistedvines.com) will host cidermaker Diane Flynt at 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. It’s $19 per person to taste four of her Foggy Ridge Ciders, each served with food.

Find a Cidery Get details about all eight stops on Virginia’s cider trail at ciderweekva.com/cidermakers. More information about Maryland’s three cideries is available at greatshoals.com, distillerylaneciderworks.com and millstonecellars.com. (E XPRESS)

The cider tasting ($5) at Distillery Lane Ciderworks includes four samples so drinkers can experience a range of flavors.

Local Chop & Grill House (56 W. Gay St., Harrisonburg, Va.; localchops.com) has devised a five-course, gluten-free meal with cider pairings ($65). The dinner, beginning at 6 p.m., will feature Shannon Showalter from Old Hill Cider (which hosts its own event Saturday; see below).

FRIDAY

Or maybe they’ll even swing by Distillery Lane, where folks are invited to take a self-guided tour through the orchard (with a satchel, if they’re inclined to pick fruit to haul home). They can nibble on apple slices to get familiar with some of the lesser-known but besttasting varietals. And then it’s $5 to belly up to the bar and sample from a rotating crop of ciders. Tastings, naturally, are at the core of the cider trail initiatives in Virginia and Maryland. Vineyards have become destinations where visitors can kick back with a drink and a stunning view, and cideries are striving for the same reputation with many of the same tricks. So, at a cider tasting, a guest can expect to get a wine glass and then a series of splashes from wine-size bottles. The person behind the counter will discourse on the merits of certain fruits and food pairings and possibly encourage the purchase of a bottle to enjoy on the spot. (Take it to a picnic table along with some local cheese, Shelton suggests.)

Croftburn Market (16178 Rogers Road, Culpeper, Va.; croftburnmarket.com) combines cider with charcuterie at a free tasting from 4 to 7 p.m.

At Distillery Lane Ciderworks, visitors explore the orchard, left, while owner Rob Miller, right, presses juice for cider.

If you’re worried about drinking and driving, Great Shoals Winery’s tasting room, which opened in June, is accessible by Metrobus. On a recent Friday evening, a constant flow of people perched at the bar. The cider tasting flight started with a pour of the Spencerville Red Hard Apple, made from a varietal discovered in Montgomery County. The best thing about cider tasting, Flynt says, is that “it’s simple — not fussy like wine.” So how do you know if a cider is any good? “W hen you dr ink it,” she says. “You like it right away.” VICK Y HALLET T (E XPRESS)

Can’t Make the Trip? Here are a few local spots that really know their cider: Glen’s Garden Market (2001 S St. NW; glensgardenmarket.com). The shop north of Dupont Circle stocks an impressive collection of local ciders, including options from Millstone Cellars, Albemarle Ciderworks and Castle Hill Cider (from Keswick, Va.). Also look for cans of Jack’s Cider, made by Pennsylvania’s Hauser Estate Winery — about two hours from D.C. Pizzeria Paradiso (Georgetown, Dupont Circle and Old Town locations; eatyourpizza.com). Beer director Greg Jasgur says locally produced ciders from Foggy Ridge Cider and Millstone Cellars are hitting the spot with his customers. “They’ve had sweeter, simpler flavors,” he says. “Now they want something acidic with blue cheese notes.” The Pig (1320 14th St. NW; thepigdc.com). The Pig just hosted the D.C. release party for Orchard Ale, a collaboration between Frederick’s Flying Dog Brewery and Distillery Lane Ciderworks. On the menu: bottles of DLC’s Celebration Cider and Bold Rock Cider (from Nellysford, Va.) on draft. V.H.

Albemarle Ciderworks (2545 Rural Ridge Lane, North Garden, Va.; albemarleciderworks.com) pits Virginia ciders against bottles from Washington and Oregon for the “East Vs. West Cider Smackdown” ($15, 6-8 p.m.), a blind taste test to determine which coast’s ciders reign supreme.

SATURDAY Whole Foods Market Vienna (143 Maple Ave. East, Vienna; wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/vienna) is just one of the chain’s locations offering a free cider tasting this week. The Vienna store event is from 4 to 7 p.m. Old Hill Cider (17768 Honeyville Road, Timberville, Va.; oldhillcider.com) invites folks to a home cider-making workshop led by the aforementioned Showalter at 9 a.m. It’s free to attend the lecture, but reservations are required. Anyone interested in participating must pay for materials ($20 for one gallon of cider or $75 for five gallons). V.H.

FILM RIFFS

Justin Trawick, left, and Sean Russell co-host “The Circus Life” podcast, which they record at Cue Studios in Falls Church.

Bonfire of the Pants

RAFAEL SUANES (RCS PHOTOGRAPHY)

The documentary “The Armstrong Lie,” out Friday, is about how cycling champ Lance Armstrong deceived so many for so long. Now he joins a pantheon of movie liars that are chronicled below in this, the Pulitzer Prizewinning greatest column of all time. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

1 Mark Bellison Ricky Gervais’ character in 2009’s “The Invention of Lying” is the only one capable of deception in a world of truth tellers. Which leads him to inadvertently invent soap operas, religion and “No, honey, that dress doesn’t make you look fat.”

2 Fletcher Reede Jim Carrey stars in 1997’s “Liar Liar” as a guy cursed with having to tell the truth for 24 hours. Good thing that never happens or you’d find out how I’m out of ideas for writing these things week after week.

3 Nathan Jessup In 1992’s “A Few Good Men,” Jack Nicholson plays a Marine colonel who covers up his role in a murder because … oh, you know the line. Just say it.

4 Tom Ripley Some people fake a cough to get out of work. Some people kill someone else and take on his identity, like Matt Damon did in 1999 in “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” But it’s all a matter of perspective, really.

5 Frank Abagnale Jr. Leonardo DiCaprio played Abagnale in 2002’s “Catch Me If You Can,” which was based on the real-life exploits of a guy who managed, among other things, to pass himself off as a commercial airline pilot. It’s a wonder how he didn’t get caught by asking, “Hey, what does this button do?”

Citizen Bands Radio D.C.-centric podcast ‘The Circus Life’ gives local acts a new stage Music Usually, when D.C. music scene mainstay Justin Trawick steps to the microphone, it’s to sing. The musician has performed at nearly every club and coffee shop in the area, as a solo act, with his band, or as part of The 9, a singer-songwriter collective he started.

INDIES & ARTIES

Now, Trawick’s using a mic and his voice for something that doesn’t require musical accompaniment: talking. Since August, Trawick, 31, and sound engineer Sean Russell, 36, have co-hosted “The Circus Life,” a weekly podcast that mixes interviews with musical performances from local artists. “This is all a grand experiment, but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” Trawick says. “I’m a full-time musician who puts on shows for a living, but the podcast is something we’ve been winging and doing haphazardly well at.”

Who the Heck Is … Justin Trawick is the rare local musician who hasn’t had to leave Washington to make a living playing music. Solo, he’s a lot like Jason Mraz: along with his heartfelt, downon-my luck tracks, Trawick often breaks into soulful rap verses mid-song. With his band, he turns up the tempo but plays many of the same songs. J.K.

Inspired by the talk radio shows Trawick listens to (like Adam Carolla’s “Loveline” and DC101’s morning zoo “Elliot in the Morning”), “The Circus Life” finds the two longtime friends riffing on D.C. life and showcasing performances from local musicians, such as The Pietasters and “Arlington: The Rap” star GoRemy. Episodes have included a discussion of D.C. dining and drinking with Mad Fox Brewing’s Charlie Buettner and a bit on the trials and tribulations of finding romance via technology with Justin Hinge, founder of D.C.-based dating app Hinge. For Saturday’s first-ever live episode of “The Circus Life,” Trawick and Russell will ditch their normal recording space — Cue Studios in Falls Church — to throw a concert at the Rock and Roll Hotel with a few short interludes. The Justin Trawick Group is set to play, along with past podcast performers The Sweater Set, M.H. & His Orchestra, The Cowards Choir and Black Masala. They’ll also bring out old guests, including WJLA traffic anchor Amanda Meadows, who played the “Made Up Traffic Situation” game, featuring wacky but plausible local disasters (like beavers overturning a logging truck). “I don’t want to subject people who are coming out just because of the bands to a whole lot of talking,” Trawick says. “But it’s a good way to get the word out that our podcast exists.” Future live shows are in the works, and Trawick envisions a constantly rotating catalog of shows that will fall under a “The Circus Life Live” banner. “We’re starting off with what we know,” Trawick says. “The next show could be all stand-up comedy, [or] a special interview with an influential person, another one could be storytelling. I think the potential here is really huge — we’re just waiting to see how it’ll evolve.” JASON KOEBLER (FOR E XPRESS) Rock and Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE; Sat., 6 p.m., $12; 202-388-7625, rockandrollhoteldc.com.

Upon Closer Inspection Alex Prager’s stylized shots of crowds are the ‘Where’s Waldo?’ of the fine art world

‘Crowd #3 (Pelican Beach)’ For this 2013 photo, Prager rented a Hollywood soundstage, covered it with 20 tons of sand and populated it with extras. “I had my makeup team put fake sunburns and orange tans on some of the actors,” Prager says. The artificial setting allowed her to shoot the scene from a cherry picker at an angle that would be tough to achieve in real life. “It’s too close for a bird’s-eye view, but too expansive for a close up,” says Kaitlin Booher, curator at the Corcoran Gallery.

Exhibits

Ordered Chaos: What might seem like a haphazard group of people is carefully composed, with actors sitting a little closer together than most people would find comfortable. The props stay within a narrow range of colors and patterns.

The cinematic inspirations for Alex Prager’s stylish photos are easy to spot: The Hitchcockian blondes, the David Lynch-esque hint of the sinister. In her new “Face in the Crowd” series, which debuts at the Corcoran on Saturday, you may also spot a decidedly more lowbrow muse: “Where’s Waldo?” “The moment I came up with the idea for the show, I asked my studio manager to go to the library and pick up some ‘Where’s Waldo?’

Where’s Vanessa? The photographer’s sister, Vanessa Prager, appears in many images in “Faces in the Crowd,” which “is my little nod to Waldo,” Prager says. Here, she’s wearing a teal bathing suit. “I used my mom and my friends in a lot of the pictures too.”

Sorta Retro: The Sports Illustrated magazine and Pepsi can on the bodybuilder’s towel may appear to be relics from the ’70s, but they are actually “throwback” editions — modern products designed by their respective companies to tap into our affection for the past.

books,” Prager, 34, said via email. As do the children’s books, Prager’s photos reward viewers who stop and stare. At first, you might just see a throng of people at a train station or on a beach, but something feels amiss. Then you see it: A man in an old-fashioned fedora reading a modern tabloid, or the fact that many of the women are wearing the exact same shade of icy-blue eyeshadow and there’s an unusually high concentration of strawberry-blondes. “There’s that one little thing that tips you off and makes you question everything else,” says exhibit curator Kaitlin Booher. These seemingly naturalistic scenes were created on Hollywood sound stages, with the help of actors and hair and makeup pros. Prager printed the photos on huge canvasses. She also shot a

Any Way You Slice It, You’ll Be Stuffed

No matter your diet, there’s a restaurant that can feed you on Thanksgiving Aunt Pearl is done with carbs And Mom’s gone gluten-free The twins no longer eat any meat What to make? Woe is me Used to be, I’d roast a turkey But everybody’s gone quirky I’ve got the Thanksgiving blues

If a family full of folks with special dietary needs has you singing the Thanksgiving dinner blues, consider heading to a local restaurant that caters to the finicky. Many of D.C.’s top dining rooms will be open for the holiday next Thursday and are cooking up festive spreads that cheerfully juggle your family’s special requests — especially if you call ahead.

HEARTHEALTHY

VEGETARIAN Founding Farmers, noon-8 p.m. | Vegetarians are used to picking through side dishes on Thanksgiving, but that won’t be the case for any herbivores who flock to Founding Farmers, which will offer a meatless “turkey” meatloaf option as a main course. “It has a lot of Thanksgiving flavors,” chef Joe Goetze says. “We use sage, parsley, beans, walnuts, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, bind it all together, roast it and serve it with gravy.” All the salads and most of the sides are also vegetarian. Dig into the roasted sweet potato with fig and pecan butter or the chestnut cornbread stuffing without fear of hitting stray meat. To top it off, choose from an assortment of pies: pumpkin, pecan, apple caramel, chocolate or coconut cream. For once, you’re sure to end up just as stuffed as that poor bird. Founding Farmers’ veggie meatloaf includes beans and sweet potatoes.

Equinox, noon-7 p.m. If you’re worried about your ticker, start your Thanksgiving with an oyster roast on Equinox’s front porch. “Oysters are lowfat and heart-healthy,” says Ellen Kassoff Gray, who co-owns the restaurant in Farragut Square with husband Todd. Then head inside, where you won’t even miss the fat in starters like the grilled forest mushroom salad topped with crispy sunchokes and drizzled with truffle vinaigrette. For a main dish, your doctor might recommend the pan-roasted Norwegian halibut. Dessert is a tough one — maybe have a little cranberry-orange semifreddo (sort of like a frozen mousse) — or just watch with envy as your kids dig into the decedent triple chocolate mousse torte. $65 adults, $35 children for the oyster roast and three courses; 818 Connecticut Ave. NW; 202-331-8118, equinoxrestaurant.com.

Brussels sprouts and broccoli star in Everlasting Life’s vegan pot pie.

VEGAN Everlasting Life Restaurant and Lounge, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. No turkey on Thanksgiving is bad enough, but no mac and cheese? That’s just un-American. Everlasting Life’s chef, Elisheva Saunders, thinks she can win anyone over to the vegan side. “We do have mac and cheese, and it’s delicious,” she says. “We make the soy cheese ourselves.” In place of the bird, there will be a meatless, gluten-based roast with stuffing, cranberry sauce and other trimmings. “It’s a healthier alternative to the traditional Thanksgiving meal,” she says. $11.66 for a main dish and two sides; 9185 Central Ave., Capitol Heights, Md.; 301-324-6900, everlastinglife.net.

PALEO Chef Geoff’s, 1-7 p.m. People who adhere to a diet of lean meats and veggies will find plenty to eat at Chef Geoff’s Thanksgiving feast, says Courtney Fitzgerald, the restaurant’s executive director of hospitality. “We have lots of items that would work and many items that could be easily modified,” she says. If you are at the downtown location, start with the steak skewers and a nontraditional entree like the pan-roasted salmon with Swiss chard. For dessert, consider cheating a little with the flourless chocolate cake. “It has heavy cream, but hey, it’s the holidays,” she says.

Given that he released “Wise Up Ghost,” a collaborative album with The Roots, this year, it’s strange that Elvis Costello has been going at it alone on the road lately. Then again, the 59-year-old singer-songwriter longs to defy convention. Since he’ll perform solo at the Lisner on Saturday, we’ve rounded up some of Costello’s songs about — what else? — loneliness.

‘I Wanna Be Loved’

This jazzy, stripped-down lament about a doomed romance is one of Costello’s most affecting songs: “There’s a girl here and she’s almost you/ Almost,” he sings over a sparse piano, bass and drums. Costello doesn’t belabor his point: he says all he needs to say in two eloquent, dark verses, and then he’s done.

Ignore the cheery synths and cheesy saxophone solo and you have one of Costello’s most desperate songs. “Why must I be so lonely?” he bluntly states at the outset. Later, he reaches a conclusion: “I guess I’m a victim of loneliness.”

‘Almost Blue’

Costello didn’t pen this one, but he did perform the standard with Burt Bacharach (who co-wrote the song with Hal David) for their cameo in 1999’s “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.” Their schmaltzy take manages to make pain and sorrow seem upbeat.

what’snew@metro N

A message from Metro General Manager Richard Sarles

Planning ahead is critical to achieving our goals here at Metro. We do this by making short- and long-term goals and then continuously measuring our success and adjusting the plan as we move forward. An important part of this effort is Metro’s multi-year business plan. I recently introduced our plan for the coming three years, laying out goals for Metro through 2016 and strengthening our emphasis on customer service. The plan also continues to push forward with capital investments that make Metro safer and more reliable. First, the business plan introduced a new, comprehensive Customer Care program. We’re applying the same passion to customer service that is being applied to improving Metro’s safety culture. Building upon customer improvements already underway, we’re stepping up our investment in Metro’s employees to ensure they are more engaged, better trained, and have the tools and support needed to do their jobs and deliver quality customer service. We’ll also continue making changes that provide a better day-to-day experience for our customers. From installing brighter lights in our rail stations to redesigning and improving our bus maps, we know these changes can make a difference in your daily Metro ride. When it comes to capital improvements, the business plan builds upon the progress we’ve made in the first three years of Metro Forward. This effort results in new rail cars, new buses, new tracks, new technology and the rebuilding of essential infrastructure. Just consider the progress being made on escalator rehabilitation. We’ve already rehabbed 103 escalators “like new” and another 33 will be finished this fiscal year. We’re also on track to fully replace 120 escalators by 2020, with 23 finished in the next six months. We will replace all of the old 1000 Series railcars during the next three years and introduce the new 7000 series cars into service. We’ll also continue making improvements to Metro’s power infrastructure so we can run more eight-car trains. For bus riders, the business plan takes significant steps to improve bus service reliability and increase security. We’ll do that by moving forward with priority corridor networks for bus service and adding extra Metro Transit Police patrols on Metrobuses. Every aspect of this business plan turns up the volume on the customer and puts the safety, comfort and convenience of Metro riders as our top priority.

Cuts Looming for Federal Transit Benefit Metro riders will take a hit in the wallet next year if Congress doesn’t stop the commuter transit beneﬁt from being slashed.

This cut to the transit beneﬁt penalizes workers who ride Metro. It could also encourage more people to drive to work, adding trafﬁc on our roads and pollution in our air.

The federal government allows workers to set aside a certain amount of pre-tax dollars each month to pay for the cost of getting to and from work. Workers can use the money to pay for rides on public transportation, like Metrorail and Metrobus, or to pay for parking if they drive to work.

Unfortunately, this unequal treatment of transit riders has become an annual threat. A transit beneﬁt cut was narrowly avoided for 2013, but now less than a year later, it’s at risk again.

But while the parking beneﬁt is set to increase in the coming year, the transit beneﬁt is being slashed by nearly 50%. If Congress doesn’t act, the maximum amount that transit riders can set aside in 2014 will be reduced from $245 to $130 per month.

Congress must act to prevent this cut to your transit beneﬁts from going into effect at the end of the year. Get involved by telling your senators and representatives that, as a Metro rider, you support equal treatment for transit commuters’ beneﬁts.

Putting Safety First Seven. That’s the number of Metro’s outstanding safety recommendations recently closed by the National Transportation Safety Board.

“This continues our steady progress toward making the system safer for riders and employees.” Metro General Manager Richard Sarles

Metro has now completed 20 of 29 safety recommendations made by the NTSB. Four more have been submitted for closure and the remaining ﬁve involve long-duration projects that are underway.

Shakespeare’s epic is bound to burst from the stage as a story of a royal family’s dysfunction and its anxiety over the rightful lineage to the crown. Helen Hayes Awards Recommended. When the Primm family moves to NYC, they are surprised to meet a tap-dancing Lyle the Crocodile. He’s not welcomed by all, but Lyle earns his place!

Smith Drawing Extra Attention Hoyas center seeing some double-teams early on this season

12:30 P.M. Today | ESPNU

In his first game with Georgetown, Joshua Smith scored 25 points in a loss to No. 19 Oregon. But he may have been just as valuable to the Hoyas in their second game this season, when he had just six points and four rebounds in an 88-70 win over Wright State. That’s because the Raiders double-teamed the 6-foot-10, 350pound Smith when he got the ball inside, creating space outside. Starters D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera (25 points) and Markel Starks (23) and freshman reserve Reggie Cameron (nine) each had a trio of 3-pointers as the Hoyas made 10 of 22 shots from beyond the

[Josh] is normally very strong with the ball.” After splitting their ﬁrst two games, the Hoyas will face Northeastern today in the opening round of the eight-team Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

The tournament features two ranked teams — No. 10 VCU and No. 14 Michigan — and Kansas State and Florida State, with the championship game coming Sunday. Smith, who played at UCLA before he transferred to Georgetown, will be a matchup problem for the Huskies, whose biggest player is 6-foot-8, 219-pound Scott Eatherton. “[Smith’s] much more skilled than I knew before he got here,” Thompson said earlier this season. “His skill for the game, how quickly he picks things up and his ability to see and pass the ball — I did not realize he had those tools when he came here.” DAVID DRIVER (FOR E XPRESS)

Wizards guard John Wall shot just 5-for-17 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Defenses Giving Wall Some Space Wizards point guard is being dared to hit midrange jump shots

DC STREETCAR PARKING ENFORCEMENT CAMPAIGN STARTS SOON Streetcar vehicles will be on the H Street/Benning Road Corridor soon to test and train for passenger service. Cars parked outside of the lines, including illegally double-parked vehicles, will impede the streetcar, delay service along the line, and result in a ticket and/or tow for vehicles. To remind drivers of proper parking etiquette, District Department of Transportation will distribute warning tickets to improperly parked cars in the corridor during the month of November. Real ticketing will begin on December 1, 2013. For more information, visit dcstreetcar.com or call 855-413-2954.

District Department of Transportation

Wizards By now, the scouting report on John Wall is pretty clear. T he poi nt g u a rd entere d Wednesday ’s game shooting 35.7 percent from the ﬁeld, leading defenses to drop off him to keep him out of the paint and dare him to take jumpers. With his shot again abandoning him for most of the Wizards’ win over Minnesota on Tuesday, Wall refused to take the bait. He instead looked for the hot hand, tying a career high with 16 assists. And with his team down by one with 1:26 left, Wall ﬁnally found his stroke when it mattered most, burying an 18-foot pullup jumper to put the Wizards ahead. “He missed a couple of jump shots, but he has to take those jump shots,” guard Garrett Temple said. “Because in the end, we’re going to need him to make one like he did [against the Timberwolves]. So he needs to stay in tune offensively, take those midrange jumpers when they’re giving them to him,

but also … probe and find guys.” Wall told nba.com last week that he was settling for the outside shot too much and needed to attack the basket more. But with the Timberwolves doing everything they could to keep him out of the lane, he was more than content to find Bradley Beal and Martell Webster, who combined to shoot 7 of 13 from 3-point range. “That shot’s going to be there every time for me,” Wall said. “I don’t have to take it every time, and I definitely don’t have to take ones early into the shot clock.” Coach Randy Wittman said that if defenses continue to give Wall space and he has confidence in his midrange jumper, he should take it. “If he’s not going to take it with confidence — and that happens — well then move the ball on to the next guy,” Wittman said. “You don’t have to take it, but I want him to. If they’re going to play him like that, he’s got to knock that down, and then it open things up.” MICHAEL CUNNIFF (E XPRESS)

Horowitz was in the midst of the 11th day of hearings on the grievance ﬁled by the players’ association to overturn the 211-game suspension given to Rodriguez by Major League Baseball last summer for alleged violations of the sport’s

drug agreement and labor contract. A person familiar with the session said that after Horowitz made his ruling, the New York Yankees third baseman slammed a table, uttered a profanity at MLB Chief Operating Ofﬁcer Rob Manfred and left. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because what takes place at the hearing is supposed to be conﬁdential. “I am disgusted with this abusive process, designed to ensure that the player fails,” Rodriguez said in a statement. “I have sat through 10 days of testimony by felons and liars, sitting quietly through every minute, trying to respect the league and the process.

DAVID KARP (AP)

A-Rod Walks Out on Own Hearing

Alex Rodriguez’s grievance hearing resumed this week in New York.

“This morning, after Bud Selig refused to come in and testify about his rationale for the unprecedented and totally baseless punishment he hit me with, the arbitrator selected

by MLB and the players’ association refused to order Selig to come in and face me. The absurdity and injustice just became too much. I walked out and will not participate any further in this farce.” Rodriguez’s legal team remains involved in the proceeding. It has been unclear whether Rodriguez will testify. Horowitz technically is chairman of a three-man arbitration panel that also includes Manfred and Dave Prouty, the general counsel of the players’ union. The hearing resumed Monday before Horowitz, who also heard the case from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3 and Oct. 15-18. RONALD BLUM (AP)

SETTLEMENT REACHED

Lance Paying Up A day before he was scheduled to give sworn testimony about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, Lance Armstrong reached a settlement Wednesday with an insurance company that was seeking $3 million in performance bonuses it paid him from 1999 to 2001. The details of the settlement were not disclosed. (AP)

Long Live the King

Quarrelsome co-workers don boxing gloves to slug it out on “White Collar Brawlers,” the manly new show on the manly new Esquire cable network (10 p.m. Tuesdays). This week’s premiere pits easygoing financial planner Ryan, above, against intense Andrew, also a planner. They take to the ring because of a disagreement from their roommate days plus a dislike for each other’s work habits. As they train, the By Marc co-workers learn many Silver things, including: Going “one two” means hit with ONE HAND, then THE OTHER HAND. This is a tough concept for Andrew to grasp. Andrew is sure he’ll win because he’s better than Ryan in every way. He bloodies Ryan’s nose, yet Ryan triumphs in a “split decision” (unclear what that means, too lazy to Google it). Despite the brutality of boxing, the sport is apparently a boon for white-collar workers. The discipline of training makes Ryan turn in his work on time. Andrew stops blaming his mother for, like, EVERYTHING and says the fight made him “feel amazing.” So I guess the next time I see an annoying co-worker in the hall, I’ll jab to the head and stab to the gut. But ha ha, not you, boss! Read Marc’s previous columns at: washingtonpost.com/muse

Music The money-making enterprise called Elvis Presley has been sold. Authentic Brands Group said Tuesday that it has bought Elvis Presley’s intellectual property from CORE Media Group and is partnering with another company to operate the Graceland tourist attraction. The purchase gives Authentic Brands control of Elvis Presley Enterprises, which manages the licensing and merchandising rights to Presley’s image, name and likeness, in addition to a massive collection of music, photographs, movies, TV appearances and performance specials that feature the King of Rock ’n’ Roll. In 2012, Elvis Presley Enterprises CEO Jack Soden said the licensing business generated about $32 million a year in revenue. As part of the deal, National Entertainment Collectibles Association founder Joel Weinshanker acquires Graceland’s operating rights. Weinshanker, Authentic Brands and the Presley family will partner in operating Graceland. A purchase price wasn’t disclosed. The New York-based intellectual property corporation, also known as ABG, manages brands including Marilyn Monroe and Muhammad Ali. CORE Media Group owns rights to “American Idol” and “So You Think You

Odds Are in Their Favor 700 ‘Hunger Games’ fans camp out ahead of the film’s release The latest “Hunger Games” are yet to begin, but the fans have already arrived in force. Seven hundred fans of the popular book trilogy and films spent last weekend camped out on the concrete in front of L.A. Live plaza, and they were rewarded with games, celebrity meetings and tickets to a special Monday premiere of “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” (The film opens nationwide Friday, with some late-Thursday showings.) Fan camp participants won their spots in an online lottery. The camp began Saturday morning, when fans were split into “districts,” echoing a tenet from the books. Lionsgate, which also hosted a fan camp for the first “Hunger Games” film, provided diversions such as cast visits and contests. Director Francis Lawrence and star Josh Hutcherson were among the stars who dropped by during the campout. “When you hear the crowds go

nuts and they’re so excited about the material and about the movie and about the cast, it’s really energizing and exciting,” Lawrence said. Danny Hernandez of Azusa, Calif., applied for the fan camp so he might get a chance to see the ﬁlm early but found connecting with fellow fans even more rewarding. “The coolest thing was meeting all of these people,” the 29-yearold said, adding that he had come alone but now belonged to a group of 10, who planned to watch the

ﬁlm together. Cheyenne Deen of Las Vegas persuaded her mom and sister to travel to Los Angeles for the camping adventure. The 22-year-old and her friend, 19-year-old Michelle Mota, came to the ﬁrst “Hunger Games” fan camp and also slept on the sidewalk for the “Twilight” premieres. They have a tip for fan-camp folks: Never leave the camp because there’s always something going on. SANDY COHEN (AP)

“Not only do some European countries offer twice as much paid holiday as America, but their workers are better at taking this time off.”

“So we’ve taken care of the question of where Waldo is. But that leaves a more intriguing question left unanswered: Why is Waldo there?” — BEN BLATT AT SLATE.COM asks the tough questions about the “Where’s Waldo?” book series. After ﬁnding Waldo more often than not in one of two 1.5-inchtall bands that run the width of each typical Waldo tableau, Blatt postures a guess as to why Waldo’s creator, Martin Handford, chooses to hide him there instead of the page’s edges and corners: It’s intuitively less obvious.

— LAUREN DAVIDSON AT QZ.COM analyzes

data collected by the travel website Expedia that says Americans are terrible at taking time off compared to their European counterparts. For example, in 2013, Davidson writes, U.S. workers used just 10 out of 14 vacation days, which left more than 577 million days left over.

Healthy Female Volunteers Needed Stress and Anxiety Research Study The National Institute of Mental Health is conducting a clinical research study with an experimental drug to determine if this drug may reduce stress and anxiety. The effects of the drug will be compared to an approved anti-anxiety drug and to a placebo, an inactive pill. You may be eligible if you are: • A healthy woman between 21-50 years of age • Willing to follow certain diet restrictions • Willing to use birth control

You may not be eligible if you: • Are pregnant or nursing • Have heart or liver disease, peptic ulcer, or seizures • Have depression, anorexia, bulimia or anxiety

“As fun as these outrageous, zany and wacky job abandonments are, I’ve always felt like they’re best left to characters in TV shows and movies …” — COMMENTER SHAUNKENNEDY AT GAWKER.COM reacts to a resignation

letter that went viral this week. The hashtag-sprinkled missive came from an associate auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers who decided to go out with a bang — which many think backﬁred.

Sean Penn threatened a man trying to take a picture of him with a cellphone, TMZ reported. Penn was at a San Francisco hotel’s bar Tuesday when he saw a flash go off.

CONFUSION

So Is Jon Hamm Dead? People has spoken and it’s named Adam Levine the “sexiest man alive” of 2013, the magazine announced Tuesday. The 34-year-old is the lead singer of the group Maroon 5 and a judge on NBC’s “The Voice.” He’s also not romantically available. Levine got engaged to Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo earlier this year. In a 2012 interview with The Associated Press, the musician described himself as “nerdy” in high school but admitted he “did OK” with girls. Levine takes the “sexiest” crown from actor Channing Tatum. He joins the ranks of Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, who all have received the honor. (AP)
