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 surprising escape last week of

The fl ight of Chen Guangcheng,

it’s confi rmed he is in U.S. custo-

activist, hardly seems a threat, offi -

cials have reacted angrily, detain-

ew. China’s state-controlled media

have so far ignored the story.

Ai Xiaoming, a f ilmmaker

escape has had the biggest emo-

to a new generation of leaders. As

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

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

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.

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.
