This Metrobus in D.C. is one of 140 that are equipped with cameras that will catch motorists, who block bus lanes and zones in the city. (WTOP/Mike Murillo)Blocking the bus lane while waiting for someone or quickly popping in to grab a mobile order will soon be a costly mistake in D.C.The District Department of Transportation announced that beginning July 24, cameras designed to catch bus lane and bus zone violators will go live.For the first 45 days after the program’s rollout, motorists will receive a warning. After that, the fines get pricier.The fine for motorists driving, idling or parking in a bus lane, where they are not allowed, is $200.

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:38:16 GMT

Jonathan Marchessault won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after leading the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup, a fitting honor for one of the franchise’s original players who has been a key contributor since the first puck dropped in Las Vegas.Marchessault led the Golden Knights with 13 goals and ranked second with 25 points during their playoff run, this one ending on a winning note unlike five years ago when they lost in the final. He is one of six original Knights players left from the start of the expansion franchise in 2017 and has since developed a reputation for scoring big goals at timely moments.“What I’ve always said about Jonathan Marchessault: He seizes big moments,” general manager Kelly McCrimmon said before Game 5. “He has always had a knack for that.”Marchessault scored important goals during just about every Vegas playoff run, from the second-round series clincher in 2018 through this final against the Florida Panthers. Not bad for a player who was undra...

Editorial: White House press secretary latest to ignore Hatch Act

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:38:16 GMT

The Hatch Act isn’t complicated. It restricts federal employees from being involved in partisan political activity, like disclosing  “non-public, sensitive DOJ information” to reporters about a potential Justice Department investigation of a Suffolk County District Attorney candidate.You can’t do that when you’re the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, as Rachael Rollins discovered. Especially when one of those reporters worked for the Boston Herald, who didn’t take the bait. The Herald did report her attendance at a Democratic Party fundraiser featuring first lady Jill Biden, which set Rollins’ house of cards tumbling.Fortunately, there are others willing to sound the alarm when people in power cross the line. The Office of Special Counsel just signaled a personal foul by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.The watchdog agency has informed the White House that Jean-Pierre violated the Hatch Act through her usage of the term “mega MAGA Republica...

Treat Dad with these brownies on Father’s Day

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:38:16 GMT

I was surprised that the late film star, Katharine Hepburn, was legendary in her day for her brownies. As a youngster, I adored the film roles she portrayed, quirky women often with an endearing rebellious streak. I never imagined that she had found baking fame until I read a revised recipe for her brownies in David Lebovitz’s “The Great Book of Chocolate” (Ten Speed Press).Lebovitz wrote that her recipe was fine, but to reflect more current tastes he tweaked it to include additional chocolate and chocolate chips. They are delicious, rich in chocolate goodness with the crunch of chopped nuts, either pecans or walnuts. The texture somewhere between cakey and fudge-like.They would make a welcome gift for Dad this Father’s Day, June 18. They are scrumptious on their own, but I like them served topped with ice cream or whipped cream and fresh strawberries. That’s how my dad would have liked them.Dave and Kate’s Remarkable BrowniesYield: 16 browniesINGREDIENTSSoft butter and flour for pr...

Indulge on a budget with grilled steak kebabs

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:38:16 GMT

For this meat lover, there may be no better summer dinner than a fat and juicy ribeye steak cooked to perfection over a bed of hot coals. But boy, is that a splurge in these days of high inflation, especially when you’re also cooking for others.The economical stand-in to that expensive steak doesn’t have to be burgers. Instead, buy a less premium cut of meat, cut it into chunks, let it soak for a few hours in a savory marinade and then stick the pieces on a skewer with your favorite vegetables.Kebabs are not only more cost-effective than steaks, but also an easy way for home cooks to get meat and a variety of vegetables on the table at the same time. Plus, skewered food is just fun to eat, especially in summer, when dining tends to be a little more casual.For this recipe, I used top sirloin, a cut that’s leaner than ribeye but still full of beefy flavor. A quick bath in an acidic and garlicky marinade guarantees it will be tender.A few tips: Be careful not to threa...
