A dentist in Poland is facing three years in jail after she
allegedly pulled out her ex-boyfriend’s teeth because
he dumped her. Marek Olszewski had a toothache and
thought his dentist ex, Anna Mackowiak, had moved on,
according to the Daily Mail. Mackowiak doped him up,
pulled all his teeth and wrapped his head in bandag-

his teeth were gone. Adding insult to injury, his current

Occupy Wall Street activists are calling for supporters to not shop, bank or attend work or school on Tuesday to protest police brutality when 73 protesters were arrested in New York.
A year after the U.S. raid that killed
Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda is hob-
bled and hunted, too busy surviving
for the moment to carry out another
Sept. 11-style attack on U.S. soil.
But the terrorist network dreams
still of payback, and U.S. counterter-
rorist officials warn that, in time, its
offshoots may deliver.
A decade of wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan that has cost the U.S.
about $1.28 trillion and 6,300 U.S.
troops lives has forced al-Qaeda’s
affiliates to regroup, from Yemen to
Iraq. Bin Laden’s No. 2, Ayman al-
Zawahri, is thought to be hiding, out
of U.S. reach, in Pakistan’s moun-
tains, just as bin Laden was for so
many years.
It’s a complicated, somewhat
murky picture for Americans to
grasp. U.S. officials say bin Laden’s
old team is all but dismantled. But
they say new branches are hitting
Western targets and U.S. allies over-
seas, and still aspire to match their
parent organization’s milestone of
Sept. 11, 2001.
U.S. officials speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity say al-Qaeda is less
able to carry out a complex attack like
Al-Qaeda Far From DefeatedA year after the death of bin Laden, payback could still be planned
Sept. 11, and they rule out al-Qaeda’s
ability to attack with weapons of mass
destruction in the coming year.
U.S. counterterrorist forces have
killed roughly half of al-Qaeda’s
top 20 leaders since the raid. That
includes U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-
Awlaki, killed by a drone in Yemen
last September, less than six months
after bin Laden’s death.
Only a few of the original al-Qae-
da team remain, and most of the new
names on the U.S. target lists are rel-
ative unknowns, officials say.
“The last terror attack was seven
years ago in London, and they haven’t
had any major attacks in the U.S.,”
says Peter Bergen, an al-Qaeda expert
who once met bin Laden. “They
are recruiting no-hopers and dead-
enders.” KIMBERLY DOZIER (AP)

The world may never see
photographic proof of Osama bin Laden’s death. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg in Washington ruled last week that the Obama administration, under the Freedom of Information Act, would not have to turn over images of bin Laden during or after the raid. “Verbal descriptions of the death and burial of Osama Bin Laden will have to suffice,” Boasberg wrote in his ruling on the lawsuit by the public interest group Judicial Watch.

Police investigate the scene Sunday after a van plunged over a parkway in New York.
An out-of-control van careered
across several lanes of traffic on
a New York City highway Sunday,
then plunged more than 50 feet
off the side of the road and landed
in a ravine on the grounds of the
Bronx Zoo, killing all seven people
aboard, authorities said.
Three of the victims were chil-
dren, fire department spokesman
Jim Long said, including girls
ages 12 and 10 and a younger girl
whose age wasn’t known. The oth-
ers were an 84-year-old man and
three women, ages 80, 45 and 30.
Long didn’t name them.
The van was headed south
when it bounced off the median
and crossed all southbound lanes
over to the guardrail, police said.
Vehicle flipped over edge of highway onto Bronx Zoo property
It likely flipped over the edge of the
highway and landed nearly upside
down on zoo property that’s closed
to the public and far from any ani-
mal exhibits, zoo spokeswoman
Mary Dixon said.
The wreck was the deadliest in
New York City since March 2011,

The surprising escape last week of
a blind legal activist from house
arrest to the presumed custody
of U.S. diplomats is buoying Chi-
na’s embattled dissident commu-
nity even as the government lash-
es out, detaining those who helped
him and squelching mention of his
name on the Internet.
The fl ight of Chen Guangcheng,
a campaigner for disabled rights
and against coercive family plan-

authoritarian government and, if
it’s confi rmed he is in U.S. custo-
dy, for Washington too. Assistant

Though Chen, a self-taught legal
activist, hardly seems a threat, offi -
cials have reacted angrily, detain-
ing supporters of his and a neph-
ew. China’s state-controlled media
have so far ignored the story.
Ai Xiaoming, a f ilmmaker
in Guangzhou city, said Chen’s
escape has had the biggest emo-
to a new generation of leaders. As
in Chen’s case, the U.S. is impli-
cated: Bo’s ouster was precipitat-
ed by the sudden fl ight of an aide
to a U.S. Consulate.

Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace

“Chen Guangcheng is an exam-

Chen’s escape comes as the Chi-

Political Unrest Grows in Egypt
Egyptian lawmakers announced
Sunday that they would suspend

shake-up would be “limited.”

Riders have to learn new rate system as agency raises prices
The new Metro fare system that
takes effect this summer will be
simpler, because it decreases the
overall number of calculations
involved in setting the cost of a
ride. But riders will still spend a
long time in front of those vend-
ing machine charts.
There will be plenty of differ-
ent prices, depending on how you
ride, how far,and when.
Here are the key changes.
The best part of the whole deal is
the elimination of the 20-cent peak-
of-the-peak surcharge, imposed on
rail travel at the height of the morn-
ing and evening rush hours.
But the boarding charge — the
basic fare — will rise from $1.95 to
$2.10 during the peak periods of
5 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. to
7 p.m. weekdays, and midnight to
closing on weekends. After a trip of
more than three miles, a distance
fare kicks in, up to the maximum
fare, which will increase from $5
to $5.75.
The off-peak boarding charge
will rise from $1.60 to $1.70. The
maximum off-peak fare will rise
from $2.75 to $3.50.
Those changes are for riders
using SmarTrip cards. For those
using paper fare cards, a surcharge
of 25 cents will rise to $1. The gen-
eral manager’s original proposal
suggested a fl at fare for cards of
$4 off-peak and $6 at peak.
The fare for a local or limited-stop
Metrobus rider paying with a SmarT-
rip card goes from $1.50 to $1.60.
Metro says the new train and bus fare hikes are supposed to go into effect on July 1.

Fares for the paratransit ser-
vice remain capped at $7. But
the amount that riders with dis-
abilities pay is set at twice the
amount for an equivalent trip on
trains and buses, via the fast-
est route available. For many
MetroAccess riders, their fares
will increase simply because the
train and bus fares will increase.
The Metro board members
pledged a further review of the
fees. (TWP)
for entry and exit at up to two stations in Md., Va., and D.C. to finance improve-ments at the stations where the surcharge is imposed. (TWP)
For those paying cash, the fare
goes up a dime to $1.80 on the local
and limited-stop buses and from
$3.85 on the expresses to $4.
The parking fee at Metro lots and
garages will rise by 25 cents. The
parking fee at Metro lots and garag-
es will rise by 25 cents. The gener-
al manager will have the power to
vary the monthly fee for reserved
parking at each parking facility,
within the range established by
the Metro board. That could be
$45 to $65.
The charge for renting a bike
locker is being reduced from $200
a year to $120.
A one-day pass for rail with no
time restriction for $14.
A seven-day pass for rail that
can be added to SmarTrip cards.
The cost rises from $47 to
$57.50.
A 28-day pass for rail that can
be added to SmarTrip for $230.
(It’s simply four times the cost of
the seven-day pass.)
A seven-day pass available on
paper fare cards. The cost rises
from $32.35 to $35.
A seven-day regional bus pass.
The cost rises by a dollar to $16.
A seven-day regional senior/
disabled pass. The cost is up to
$8. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Maryland’s top law enforcement

Police Search For Person Who Slashed Horses
Fairfax police say they are look-
ing for whoever is responsi-
ble for slashing three horses in
Herndon.
The horses, which are used in
a nonprofit therapeutic riding pro-
gram, required medical attention,
but the cuts do not appear to be
life-threatening.
The horses were slashed some-
time between Wednesday night
and Thursday morning at Fry-
ing Pan Farm Park.
Police say a donor has paid for
the initial veterinary bills for the
three horses, but the Spirit Eques-
trian program is accepting dona-
tions for further care. (AP)

Saving money on your wedding day
is easy — the courthouse couldn’t
be a cheaper venue. But how do you
save on the weddings of friends
and colleagues?
“We found gifts, on average, run
around over $100, and the cost is
higher if it’s a close friend’s wed-
ding,” said Kristin Koch, Theknot
.com senior editor. “On average,
people spend $75 on attire and over
$300 on travel. Destination wed-
dings can run close to $1,000.”
Experts weigh in on how to
keep costs down on your friends’
big days.
Why buy a dress when you can rent
it for as low as 10 percent of the cost
of buying? In April, Rent the Run-
way launched its Weddings Bou-
tique, which helps guests
plan outfits for all the
bridal events: brunch-
es, showers, rehearsal
dinners and the big day.
The company also sup-
plies free stylists who will
plan outfits based on size,
style, color and occasion.
We forget that people are so busy
judging the bride’s dress that
they’re bound to forget about yours.
Dress up something in your closet
with vintage or rented accessories.
The same goes for men: Most are
lucky enough to own a suit they can
wear again and again, but invest-
ing in vintage ties or using a ser-
Wedding Season ReduxFor your friends’ big days, keep costs low by planning ahead
vice such as Tie Society, a Netflix-
styled company that rents ties for a
monthly fee, will defray costs dur-
ing a long wedding season.
It might be tempting to stay with
the bridal party, but you can almost
always find a less expensive alter-
native a few miles away. For lodg-
ing, consider using Airbnb.com, a
website that matches trav-
elers with people willing
to rent rooms or apart-
ments on the short-
term. If traveling alone,
ask the bridal party for
a list of other singles who
might be interested in shar-
ing a room.
The age-old adage of price per
plate as a measure for how much
to spend no longer applies. “We use
a 60-20-20 rule: Spend 60 percent
on wedding, 20 percent on show-
er and 20 percent on engagement
party,” Koch said. Theknot.com
recommends $75-$100 for a co-
worker, $100-$120 for a friend and
$100-$150 for a close friend or fam-
ily. But the value of what you buy
isn’t always the same as the cost.
See the next tip.
Be the first one to sign up for
items on a registry, and be stra-
tegic. Choose an item you know
you can find cheaper elsewhere.
There’s no rule that just because
you sign up for something on a
registry that you must purchase
it from that store. Get the brand
and size details and find it online
from a discount retailer. Some
stores will update the registry to
show the item has been purchased.
If not, tell the bride and groom so
they can update it. Going online
almost always saves money.
If you need to rent a car, consid-
er peer-to-peer car-rental alterna-
tives such as RelayRides. For sin-
gles, Koch recommends finding a
friend or acquaintance before the
wedding who is willing to share
the rental car. K AT H E R I N E B O Y L E

Walmart said last week it will allow
shoppers to buy items at Walmart.com and then pay for them with cash at any of its
3,800 U.S. stores. It works like this: Customers visit the site to place an order. During
checkout, they can select the “cash” option. The shopper then has 48 hours to take
the printed order confirmation to a Walmart store. Once the order is paid, the custom-
ers can have the items shipped to a store for free or to another address for a fee. (AP)

A Silver Line StalemateWiehle Avenue
A westward-facing view of Dulles Toll Road
from the Wiehle Avenue overpass, where
the Silver Line station tentatively of the
same name is under construction. It is the end
of the fi rst phase of the Silver Line project.After more than 10 years of plan-
ning to add 23 miles of Metro rail
line in Northern Virginia, the sec-
ond part of the Silver Line project
could be dead before a spade of
dirt is turned.
The Metropolitan Washington
Airports Authority, Virginia, and
Loudoun and Fairfax counties are
at a stalemate over pro-union labor
deals, concerns about costs and an
inspector general’s investigation of
the authority.
“This project will die if the
stakeholders cannot get together
and resolve their differences,” said
Leo Schefer, head of the Washing-
ton Airports Task Force, a group
of business leaders that supports
the Silver Line.
If the project ever does start, it
won’t start on time.
The Silver Line’s first phase,
which runs through Tysons Cor-
ner to Wiehle Avenue, is now under
construction and is expected to be
completed in August 2013. The sec-
ond phase is expected to run from
Reston to Dulles International Air-
port and Loudoun County.
But the airports authority
hasn’t been able to solicit bids yet
for Phase 2, and construction was
scheduled to start in January.
The biggest problem, according
to Schefer and others: chest-thump-
ing and old-fashioned politics.
“Underlying all of this is party
political extremes that are being
put ahead of public purpose,” said
Schefer. “It’s become an emotion-
al issue.”
Some Virginia lawmakers have
said they don’t want the right-to-
work state to contribute $150 mil-
Political feuding threatens to kill Metro’s planned Dulles extension
County, the Board of Supervisors
underwent a sweeping change after
the November elections. Many on
the nine-member board have ques-
tions about the project’s cost.
Loudoun’s supervisors asked for
an extra 30 days to decide wheth-
er they will contribute. They have
until July 4.
“This has been a frustrating
process,” said Tom Davis, a mem-
ber of MWAA’s board. “The only
logical thing we can do is see what
Virginia gives us and see what Lou-
doun does. We really don’t have
lion to the project’s nearly $3 billion
construction cost because MWAA
has decided to give potential con-
tractors a 10 percent incentive if
their bids favor union labor.
Another complication is that
some top players, such as Transpor-
tation Secretary Ray LaHood and
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, are
headed out of offi ce, which would
leave a new set of offi cials to see
Phase 2 through to completion.
The effects of political turnover
are already being felt: In Loudoun

nearly $3 billion in construction
costs that Loudoun County will be
billed, plus another $11 million a
year starting in 2018 to help subsi-
dize operating costs. (TWP)
much choice.”
If Loudoun pulls out, it would
likely mean the financing deals
have to be renegotiated and other
adjustments would have to be
made. Many say that would be
shortsighted, and Loudoun resi-
dents who travel the Dulles Toll
Road would end up paying toll
increases without having an easi-
ly accessible Metro line.
LaHood has called a May 2
meeting of the stakeholders to try
to reach an agreement to move the
project forward. Many observers
say the loss of Phase 2 would have
a huge impact.
“This project is too important to
fail. We need cooler heads to pre-
vail,” said Patricia Nicoson, pres-
ident of the Dulles Corridor Rail
Association.
“If it doesn’t go, it says some-
thing about the region,” she said.
“It says we couldn’t get it together
to do a long-term rail project. That’s
unthinkable to me.” DANA HEDGPETH
(THE WASHINGTON POST)
The uncertainty over the Silver Line is magnified by public percep-tions of Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. Many observers say they have lost confidence in the authority and accuse the board of mismanagement — the first phase of the Silver Line is estimated to be as much as $150 million over budget. DOT’s inspector general is conducting an investigation into WMAA’s management practices and transparency. The report is expected to be released this spring. “We are actively evaluating whether we can take the project over,” Virginia Transportation Secretary Sean Connaughton has said. “These guys are a disaster.” Airports authority officials warn that switching the project’s responsibility to the state would be a legal mess, but Con-naughton said he believes that may outweigh the alternative.

There’s no doubting that there
were breakdowns for the Capitals
in Game 1. The bigger focus for
the players after Sunday’s practice,
though, was that they failed to raise
their intensity level for the start of
the Eastern Conference semifinal
series against the Rangers.
“They definitely amped up their
level and we were kind of stuck in
that first-round intensity, we didn’t
really ramp it up,” Jay Beagle said.
“I think it’s just a mental thing.
After the game we all were sitting
here and we knew it. We were like,
‘That’s not going to cut it, that’s not
good enough.’ I think we’ll come
back tomorrow with hopefully our
best game of the playoffs and show
how we can play.”
That sputtering level of energy
the Capitals, who lost 3-1 on Sat-
urday, felt on the ice was visible to
those watching as well — including
Capitals owner Ted Leonsis.
“I also thought we looked just
BRUCE BENNETT PHOTOS/GETTY IMAGES
Critical Thinking
Caps say they need to raise their intensity after Game 1 letdown
a little flat mentally and emotion-
ally,” Leonsis wrote on his blog.
“It was almost like we had sur-
vived such a tough series against
Boston. We had decompressed in
a few off days and now we were
trying to amp back up.”
While Washington played
well in the first round and won
the tightest series in NHL history
to knock off the defending Stan-
ley Cup champion Bruins, all it
gets them is a spot in the second
round. They have to keep churn-
ing forward, starting with Game
2 on Monday night.
“We just got to remind our-
selves that the game’s not going to
be easy. Just because we got past
the first round and the Boston Bru-
ins, it’s not going to be easy,” Karl
Alzner said. “The games that we
played, we had to work extremely
hard to have success at that, and
we didn’t work as hard as we did
last series.”
Alex Ovechkin and the Caps are down 1-0 to the Rangers after
losing 3-1 in Saturday’s Game 1 of the second-
round series.
While it’s uncertain if Alexander Semin will play a game on the fourth
line or if his demotion in Sunday’s practice was simply a wake-up call,
coach Dale Hunter made it clear that he doesn’t want the Capitals
taking retaliatory penalties against the top-seeded Rangers. Semin
was whistled for two minor penalties in Game 1: a slash in the first
period that negated a Washington power play and a trip in the third
period as the visitors tried to build momentum in a then-tied contest.
Hunter said the Russian winger needs to control his reactions better.
“You know something, you just can’t do it,” Hunter said. “You have to
be smart on the ice.” (TWP)

2ND ROUND
Joel Ward echoed that senti-
ment and said that the Capitals
need to refocus and reload in the
face of another, arguably tough-
er, opponent.
“I don’t know what to pinpoint,
exactly what happened, but I think
our desperation level wasn’t as strong
as it used to be,” Ward said. “I don’t
know whether we kind of collec-
tively as a team thought that it was
just going to be the same old, same
series. But against a different team,
it’s a bigger monster – they finished
first and that was for a reason.”

Nene for President! Or at least
MVP. To hear the Wizards talk, no
title would be too lofty, no praise
too great for the Brazilian center
who played all of 11 games with
the team this season.
When the final record is 20-46
— more than 25 games below .500
for the fourth-straight season — the
search for silver linings has to begin
somewhere. Asas the players cleared
their lockers after the regular season
ended, the positive thoughts start-
ed and finished with the mention
of the 29-year-old center acquired
at the trade deadline.
Trevor Booker: “Everybody
knew they could trust Nene.”
Jordan Crawford: “Nene made
it a lot easier on a lot of guys.”
Coach Randy Wittman, who
might have Nene to thank for
saving his job, cited the won-
loss record when Nene was in the
game: 7-4, including five of the
six-straight victories that capped
the lockout-truncated season and
A World of DifferenceNene is a big reason Wizards have high hopes for next year
Nene brought professionalism and
toughness to the Wizards late this year.
made everyone feel not quite so
embarrassed.
The Wizards have been through
this sort of thing before — a prom-
ising finish during the season’s
garbage time after the playoff
chances had long ago evaporated.
They’re always hoping for a carry-
over into the next season.
Usually, they don’t get it .
Maybe this time will be differ-
ent. If so, Nene will have much
to do with it. And so, of course,
will John Wall.
Wall will be entering his third
season in 2012-13, and the former
No. 1 overall draft pick is grow-
ing both as a leader and as a point
guard. He averaged 16.3 points, 8.0
assists and 3.9 turnovers this sea-
son. Not bad, considering the coach
was fired early on. And consider-
ing that his teammates included
Andray Blatche, JaVale McGee and
Nick Young — three players whose
games never grew up.
“At times it was tough because
you had guys like Nick and JaVale;
they wanted the ball a lot and took
a lot of shots. It’s kind of tough to
find what kind of team it was with
them,” Wall said. “[Now] the energy
is more serious, everybody is being
on time, taking things more seri-
ous, being professional about every-
thing. We’re just interacting more
as a team.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)

Parker Sparks Spurs Past Jazz
Tony Parker scored 28 points and
the San Antonio Spurs won their
first playoff opener in four years,
beating the Utah Jazz 106-91 in
Game 1 of their first-round series
Sunday.
Tim Duncan added 17 points
and 11 rebounds, helping the Spurs
dodge another early playoff let-
down. Despite boasting the No.
1 seed again, San Antonio hadn’t
won a Game 1 in its last six post-
season series — including the one
that began a shocking first-round
ouster last year.
Paul Millsap led Utah with 20
points. The Jazz hung close until
the third, when the NBA’s top
3-point shooting team began bury-
ing Utah with three in a two-min-
ute burst to finish the quarter.
The Spurs have won 11 in a
row. Game 2 is Wednesday in San
Antonio. (AP)

The Nationals on Sunday promot-
ed right-handed slugger Tyler Moore
from Class AAA and placed veteran
bench player Mark DeRosa on the
disabled list. Moore, 25, began play-
ing left fi eld recently but has played
only fi rst base throughout his career.
Most importantly, he could provide
a power threat off the bench.
Moore has consistently become
one of the Nationals’ best slugging
prospects since they drafted him in
the 16th round in 2008 out of Mis-
sissippi. He has hit 69 home runs
since the start of 2010, including
Nats Call Up Moore To Boost the Bench
seven this year, the most in the
entire organization. In 22 games at
Syracuse, Moore slugged .597.
Moore started Sunday against
the Dodgers and got his fi rst big-
league hit after he was a late sub-
stitution for Jayson Werth.
DeRosa will receive an MRI
Monday in Washington to exam-
ine a strained left oblique. DeRosa
won the opening day left-fi eld posi-
tion with a blistering spring train-
ing, but he began the year batting
.081, in a 3-for-37 rut. “It’s a great
start to the year for the Nationals,”
DeRosa said. “A horrible start for
me.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Hollywood and Washington went on
a romantic date Saturday night in the
basement ballroom of the Washing-
ton Hilton, where more than 2,000
politicians, celebrities, journalists
and hangers-on dined on crabmeat
terrine and chocolate truff les and
belly-laughed at remarks delivered
by President Obama and late-night
host Jimmy Kimmel during the annu-
al White House Correspondents’
Association dinner.
“Last year at this time — in fact,
on this very weekend — we fi nally
delivered justice to one of the world’s
most notorious individuals,” Obama
said during his after-dinner speech,
seeming to allude to the killing of
Osama bin Laden. But then a photo
of an orange-faced Donald Trump
fl ashed on giant screens in the ball-
room. Punch line delivered.
Both Obama and Kimmel took their
own shots at presumptive GOP presi-
dential nominee Mitt Romney.
“It’s great to be here this evening in
the vast, magnifi cent Hilton ballroom,”
Obama said, “or what Mitt Romney
would call ‘a little fi xer-upper.’ ”
Said Kimmel: “When I think ‘Mitt
Romney,’ I don’t think Etch A Sketch —
I think of Twister. You can’t even play
Monopoly with him, because he keeps
putting the dog on the car.”
Off the dais, elites mingled with
elites. Kate Hudson was next to for-
mer Secretary of State Colin Powell
and Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell (R-Ky.). Sofia Vergara
of “Modern Family” and New Jer-
sey Gov. Chris Christie (R) cracked
each other up and posed for photos
together.
The dinner is perhaps the only
venue on the planet where erstwhile
presidential candidate Rick Santo-
rum would snap a photo of eternally
addled starlet Lindsay Lohan. Which
he did. Lohan, whose date appeared
to be her attorney, sat at Fox News’
table (No. 63) with Kim Kardashian,
who’s famous because the media keeps
her famous.
“I have the nuclear codes,” Obama
said in a voice-over that lampooned his
hot-mike moment with Dmitri Medve-
dev this month. “What am doing tell-
ing knock-knock jokes to Kim Kar-
dashian?”
The yearly dinner is an opportu-
nity for elected offi cials to momen-
tarily ignore the business of the peo-
ple, for journalists to pretend they’re
stars, for the 1 percent to use second-
rate California chardonnay to cleanse
their palate of the aggravations of the
real world: the deteriorating situation
in Syria, for example, and the slowing
of both U.S. economic growth and the
country’s personal saving rate.
All was bubbly at the Hilton, and
pundits and politicians seemed to drop
their adversarial role-playing — an act
that keeps them on air or in offi ce —
in favor of buddy-buddiness.
Last year, Obama delivered his well-
received speech after approving the
mission to kill bin Laden (but before
the rest of the world knew about it).
This year, the man who planned
that mission, Vice Adm. William
McRaven, was virtually ignored
at table No. 46, his medals mount-
ed on his tuxedo jacket, as Kar-
dashian, Lohan and George Cloo-
ney were mobbed across the room.

Since last year’s dinner,
President Obama has burnished
his credentials as an entertainer
in chief. He slow-jammed the news
on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.”
He sang Al Green at the Apollo
Theater. He is, after all, counting
on Hollywood to funnel money
into his re-election campaign. (“I’m
going to need you,” Obama told a
crowd of 1,000 Tinseltowners at a
$38,500-a-plate Los Angeles dinner
in February.) “He could probably be
a comedian himself if he wanted
to,” Jimmy Kimmel told C-SPAN on
Sunday. (TWP)

The high-stakes world of
advertising has been part
of the appeal of the retro-
series “Mad Men” for years now.
“The Pitch” takes a documenta-
ry-style look at different ad agen-
cies, some very far from Madison
Avenue, as they compete against
one other weekly to woo poten-
tial clients.
Look for a lot of swagger and
Type-A behavior from folks who
spout lines like, “Show me a good
loser and I’ll show you a loser.”
“The Pitch” provides an inside
look at a very cutthroat indus-
A baby shower for Lily and Mar-shall (Jason Segel, left) has the dad-to-be in a panic as he realiz-es his child’s arrival isn’t far off, so Barney tries to distract him with a road trip. Back home, Ted and Robin come to terms with their relationship.
A crossover with “NCIS: Los Angeles’’ brings Special Agents Hanna (LL Cool J, left, with Scott Caan) and Cal-len to the Aloha State. They join forces with the Five-0 team to pursue a suspect who’s threat-ening to release a deadly virus.
When Wade can’t find anyone to be his partner in the Bluebell Battle, a race with a $5,000 prize, he swallows his pride and asks Zoe. Frederick Dean finally asks Rose out. George and Lemon seek relationship counseling from the Rev. Mayfair.
Castle and Beckett investigate the murder of a man who was found with human bite marks on his body. When the sole witness to the crime swears it was the work of the living dead, the team goes searching for the killer in the city’s zombie subculture. (TRIBUNE MEDIA)

— HAMILTON NOLAN AT GAWKER.COM thinks that the White House
correspondents’ dinner “is a shameful display of whoredom
that makes the ‘average American’ vomit in disgust.”
“Justice too long delayed is justice denied. As protesters
often put it: ‘no justice, no peace.’ Sometimes, I wonder if some of us really understand
what that means. With the L.A. riots now 20 years behind us and the [Trayvon] Martin case before us, it is a good time to consider those words afresh, consider them in light of our
noble ideals and too-frequent failings, consider them as if it
were you, looking for recourse after justice failed you — again.”
— 100WIZARD.COM offers thoughts on the 20th anniversary of the riots that
sparked after four LAPD offi cers were acquitted in the roadside beat-
ing of Rodney King.
“Dan basically gave real talk about how Christians misuse the Bible for their own benefit. As he was
talking, the Jesus kids got up and left. ... Nobody was attacked. What Dan said
was a real and the truth. ... Wow, I’m siding with Dan Savage. Hell, should be
freezing now.”
— WONDER MAN AT SOUTHERN4LIFE.BLOGSPOT.COM defending the syn-dicated columnist’s words at the National High School Journalist
Conference in Seattle on April 13, after Savage said, “We can learn to ignore the [expletive] in the
Bible about gay people.” Several students left in protest.
— ROB MARKMAN AT MTV.COM doesn’t want people to read
too deeply into the messages behind Nicki Minaj’s new video
released last week.
— SAMUEL CHAMBERLAIN AT DC.SBNATION.COM pays mock homage to the guy at Dodgers Stadium who made it on camera with his backside
exposed as the Nationals phenom marked his milestone Saturday night.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Focus on what is going on between you and a friend — not on the surface, but under-neath where things that really matter are happening.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) There is more going on today than you may understand, but if you follow the instructions given to you, you will surely come out on top.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s not the time for you to make demands; rather, any requests you make will have to be properly timed and worded. Use extra care.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The future is in your hands today, if only for a few pre-cious moments. You must not underesti-mate the power of a well-timed decision.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may have to negotiate carefully with a rival in order to put yourself in a position that is not insurmountable.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will want to keep others in the loop today as you experiment with different ways of doing things that require new creativity.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may have to ask around before someone you trust is willing to do you a favor. Once this is done, you’ll be off and running.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have what it takes to inspire oth-ers to change for the better. Today, you begin to enjoy the fruits of past labors.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may have to wait until someone close to you works through a techno-logical difficulty before you are able to progress as planned.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A little relaxation is all you need today before you can power up again and focus on finishing the things you need to get done.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Expect something easy to take a long time today, not because you are ill prepared, but due to external circumstances.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may be tempted to explain yourself in situa-tions that require no explanation. Your best choice is to keep your words to a minimum.
