If you’re so smart, cat, how’d you get stuck there in the first place?

You know this ‘emotional support gator’ is 100% just biding his time

A Pennsylvania police department’s request for volunteers to get drunk for law and order purposes generated an enthusiastic response. The Kutztown Police Department sought three volunteers to drink liquor to the point of inebriation so officers could be trained in how to administer field sobriety tests during traffic stops. A call for volunteers on Facebook drew hundreds of responses and over 1,000 shares in less than a day. (AP)

A wayward cat was rescued Wednesday from a dam in Indiana. The Huntington County Sheriff’s Department wrote that a fisherman saw the cat stranded on the spillway at the J. Edward Roush Lake dam. Officers couldn’t reach it, so Army Corps of Engineers workers shut down the flow of water, then launched a boat. When the boat reached the spillway, the cat slid all the way down to its rescuers, who caught it before it hit the water. (AP)

A Pennsylvania man has registered his pet alligator, Wally, as an emotional support animal, and takes him to nursing homes to visit the elderly, the York Daily Record reported last week. Joie Henney is a longtime outdoorsman who had a hunting and fishing show in the ‘90s. He got Wally, then 14 months, in 2015. The gator is so tame that Henney takes him to schools and senior centers, though he is often unwelcome in restaurants. (EXPRESS)

CULTURE If President Trump’s election revived the protest movement on the left, the D.C. Labor Chorus is providing the soundtrack.

For 20 years, this group of activists, labor organizers and rabble-rousers with serious singing chops has belted out folk songs, show tunes and chants to spread messages of empowerment and resistance.

Demand for performances increased when Trump took office and has spiked again with the onset of the nation’s longest federal government shutdown.

In response, the chorus has repurposed some favorite ditties to reflect the news of today.

The rotating set list includes “To Dream the Impeachable Dream,� to the tune of “The Impossible Dream� from the musical “Man of La Mancha�; “Furlough Day,� a takeoff on “Day-O (the Banana Boat Song),�

by Harry Belafonte; and “We Will Resist,� based on Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive.�

Before Trump was elected,

the chorus had five or six gigs a year, said founding director Elise Bryant, executive director of the Labor Heritage Foundation, which works to strengthen the labor movement through music and the arts. Last year, it had 25 performances.

The group was especially busy over the weekend, performing at the Indigenous Peoples March on the Mall on Friday and at a Democratic women’s club event that evening.

U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., called the group “the musical arm of the resistance.�

Schools appeal to idled feds

VIRGINIA

Senate easily approves Amazon tax package

REGION Jared Catapano had a hard time explaining the prolonged government shutdown to his fourthgrade class.

“Work together” is one of his classroom’s principles — and his students could tell government leaders haven’t been doing much of that.

“We teach the kids that it’s important to work together to get something done, but with this shutdown, that’s not happening,” said Catapano, a teacher at Lafayette Elementary School in the District. “It’s really difficult to explain why there’s so much divisiveness in the government.”

The partial government shutdown, which has stretched on for a month, has fueled chatter in the classroom — and long lines in auditoriums where furloughed workers come hoping to snag a substitute teacher position.

Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia has already placed furloughed workers in the classroom as subs.

School systems in the District, Maryland and Virginia are hosting workshops and job fairs for furloughed employees, and some schools are planning more.

Hundreds of federal workers in the region have attended the events with hopes of securing a temporary job.

O n F r i d a y, c r o w d s o f

Furloughed federal workers attend a Fairfax County Public Schools job fair for substitute teachers on Jan. 11.

furloughed federal employees poured into the auditorium at the Montgomery County Public Schools building in Rockville to attend a school system hiring event for federal workers, who can apply for positions such as teachers, substitute teachers and maintenance staff.

More than 200 federal workers attended the first job fair last week. None have yet been hired — the school is performing background checks on applicants.

Job fairs for furloughed employees are in demand. Fairfax County Public Schools announced a third hiring event, scheduled for Wednesday, for federal workers interested in substitute teaching positions.

About 350 furloughed employees

“The other shutdowns I’ve experienced were so short, I didn’t expect it to last this long.”

MARIA HERRERA, a furloughed federal contractor who attended a Montgomery County Public Schools hiring event last Friday

attended the school system’s first two job fairs, according to Karen Corbett Sanders, the Fairfax County School Board chair.

“We always have a need for substitute teachers — on average, we hire 900 to 1,100 subs every

day,” Sanders said in an emailed statement. “We will continue to work with applicants to expedite the hiring process and get them into the classroom as soon as possible.”

Prince George’s County Public Schools is also hosting hiring events so furloughed employees can apply for substitute and paraprofessional positions. Nearly 100 federal workers attended the first event earlier in January, and another job fair is scheduled for Friday.

D.C. Public Schools has not hosted a job fair, but administrators invited federal workers affected by the shutdown to apply to be substitute teachers, spokesman Shayne Wells said. MORGAN SMITH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The Virginia Senate easily approved state tax incentives of up to $750 million over the next 15 years for Amazon to build a headquarters facility in Arlington. The package, which passed 35 to 5, would provide Amazon cash grants on the condition that the company create tens of thousands of jobs with average pay of at least $150,000 a year. The bill still needs the House’s approval, but it is expected to pass there.

Supporters said the state would reap several times more in tax revenue than it would give in grants to Amazon. (TWP) ALEXANDRIA

Six states and the District currently ban sales of tobacco to those under 21.

Va. mulls raising smoking age to 21 POLITICS Some prominent legislators are backing a bill to raise the minimum age for buying cigarettes and vapes from 18 to 21 in Virginia, a state where tobacco once loomed so large that images of the leaves adorn its stately Capitol.

Alarmed by rampant vaping by teens, a group of Republicans and Democrats in both the House and Senate rolled out legislation last week targeting an industry whose roots in the commonwealth stretch back four centuries to the Jamestown Colony.

“Certainly, we have a history of tobacco . . . that really dates back to 1608,” said Del. Christopher Stolle, R-Virginia Beach, a physician who is sponsoring the bill in the House. “We adapt as we move forward, and we recognize it’s something that needs to be done. We certainly are a product

DINE OUT. EAT UP.

of our history, but I don’t think we’re bound by our history.”

Currently, six states and the District have limited sales of tobacco products to those 21 and older.

Richmond-based Altria Group, one of the world’s largest producers of tobacco products, supports the Virginia legislation as a way to curb underage vaping, spokesman David Sutton said.

The company recently bought a 35 percent share in Juul Labs.

The legislation has backing from some of the legislature’s most powerful members, including House Speaker Kirk C ox , R- C olon i a l Heights, and Senate Majority Leader Thomas Norment. Both the House and Senate versions of the bill have bipartisan sponsors.

Relief for crowded station

Metro rider Ranga Nathan wants to know why Metro doesn’t do something about crowding at Union Station. He takes a MARC train from his home in Maryland to the station before getting on the Red Line and then transferring to an Orange Line train to get to work in Rosslyn. When he passes through Union Station again on his way home, the line for the escalator to get from the platform up to the concourse to get his connection is “so large sometimes I have missed the connecting MARC train,” he told us via email. “What I don’t understand is how come the Metro management has not addressed this problem. Union Station is such an important place.”

Summer will bring Red Line disruptions

KGP DESIGN STUDIO/GRIMSHAW/AMTRAK

Well, some relief is coming, though not quite as much as Metro and Amtrak consultants had said is possible.

A few days after Nathan wrote, Metro and Amtrak announced that Amtrak is seeking bids from contractors for a major renovation of the busy, 112-year-old station.

According to The Washington Post, Amtrak’s portion of the three-year project involves opening up the 70,000-square-foot Claytor Concourse to expand the area where the rail line’s passengers line up to board.

New restrooms will be added, the area will be brightened with natural light, and the ClubAcela passenger lounge area will be expanded and rebranded as the Metropolitan Lounge.

Metro’s portion of the project includes installing a new stairway connecting the mezzanine, where fare gates are located, to the concourse.

A 2011 study on improving access and capacity at the station said the stairs would ease the backup of people like Nathan getting off trains and trying to go upstairs to the concourse.

The plan also calls for creating a bigger entrance to the station from First Avenue Northeast and more space inside. At the moment, a narrow entrance in a stone wall

Amtrak is seeking bids for contractors for a major renovation of the busy Claytor Concourse at Union Station.

leads to a cramped area, where people trying to get in and out of the station tend to get tangled with people waiting to take backed-up escalators. The plan also calls for adding more fare gates.

Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly told The Post the changes are the result of years of planning to improve access and relieve congestion at Union Station, the busiest entry point into the Metro system, with more than 28,000 daily entries.

Ly said Metro could still decide to do more. But not included

$400K

in the request for bids was the addition of two elevators between the mezzanine and the concourse.

In addition to the stairs, the 2011 study said adding the elevators would reduce congestion even more and “provide multiple path choices for pedestrians traveling across three levels.”

Even in 2011, Union Station had gotten too crowded, and was destined to get even worse. The transformation of surrounding neighborhoods, including the thriving H Street Northeast

corridor, had increased daily train boardings from 5,000 when the station opened to 35,000 in 2011, the study found.

Additional development in the area is expected to increase pedestrian traffic at the station by 60 percent by 2031, the study said.

It also said the addition of more full-length, 10-car trains would mean more people getting off at the same time onto crowded platforms, making the backup on the escalators even worse. KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

SHUTDOWN’S DAILY TOLL

The amount Metro is losing daily as the federal government shutdown drags on, cutting into its ridership and parking revenue, according to a letter the agency sent to the region’s U.S. senators. Metro, which estimates federal workers make up 40 percent of its rush-hour ridership, says it has suffered daily rail ridership losses averaging 16 percent. Average daily ridership for Metrobus is down 8 percent, according to the letter, which was tweeted by Sen. Mark R. Warner, D-Va. (TWP) TSA closed security checkpoint at BWI Marshall Airport because of shortages of screeners

METRO RAIL Metro Red Line riders will face significant disruptions this summer — either through a shutdown or weeks of single-tracking — and on the same stretch of track that was shut down just two years ago during the agency’s SafeTrack maintenance blitz, officials said.

This time the disruption will be for construction of the light-rail Purple Line, along with Metro repairs. Metro and Maryland officials said they are trying to reduce the impact to Red Line service by overlapping the state’s construction of a Purple Line bridge in downtown Silver Spring with rehabilitation work Metro has planned near the Forest Glen station. If the work isn’t done concurrently, the Purple Line construction would require three to four weeks of Red Line single-tracking north of the Silver Spring station to safely build the bridge over Metro and CSX freight rail tracks, Maryland officials said.

Officials have not announced any Red Line closures or singletracking yet but responded to the Post’s questions based on information in Purple Line project reports obtained via public records requests. They say they have not finalized plans enough to say when, exactly, the disruptions will occur or how long they’ll last.

“It’s not going to be good,” said Metro board member Michael Goldman, who represents Maryland. KATHERINE SHAVER AND FAIZ SIDDIQUI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘More divided than ever’

Social media debate continues after tense racial clash goes viral

SURVIVAL MEDIA AGENCY VIA AP

WASHINGTON A group of five black men shouting insults while protesting centuries of oppression. Dozens of white Catholic high school students visiting Washington for a rally to end abortion. And Native Americans marching to end injustice for indigenous peoples who have seen their lands overrun by outside settlers.

The three groups met for just a few minutes Friday at the base of the Lincoln Memorial, an encounter captured in videos that went viral over the weekend.

At first the focus was on a short video showing a high school student, Nick Sandmann, wearing a red Make America Great Again hat and appearing to smirk while a crowd of other teens laughed derisively behind him as a 64-year-old Native American, Nathan Phillips, played a traditional chant on a drum.

Pull back further and a different view emerged, as a separate video showed members of a group calling itself the Black Hebrew Israelites taunting everyone on the National Mall that day, calling the Native Americans “Uncle Tomahawks” and the high school students “crackers” and worse.

It was an ugly encounter of spewed epithets appearing to illustrate a nation of such deep divisions — racial, religious and ideological — that no one was willing to listen to the others’ point of

view. But all the parties involved seem to agree that what became news didn’t tell the whole story.

“I would caution everyone passing judgment based on a few seconds of video to watch the longer video clips that are on the internet, as they show a much different story than is being portrayed by people with agendas,” Sandmann said in a statement released Sunday.

Sandmann’s statement seems at odds with some video from the confrontation that showed students from his school laughing at Phillips’ group and mockingly singing along with him, as well as interviews with Phillips, who said he heard the students shout, “Build that wall!” and “Go back to the reservation!”

A ‘mob mentality’ Jessica Travis, a Florida attorney who was in town for the Women’s March with her mother, said the students looked out of control during Friday’s confrontation. “The kids really went into a mob mentality, honestly,” she said, adding that she didn’t see any chaperones trying to control the situation. “It was really depressing to see we are even more divided than ever.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The fullest view of what happened came from a nearly twohour video posted on Facebook

by Shar Yaqataz Banyamyan. It showed members of his Black Hebrew Israelite group interacting with the crowd as people

from the Indigenous Peoples March and the high school students vigorously argued with them for a few minutes.

When the Israelites started to taunt the students, one of the teens took off his shirt and started to do a haka — a war dance of New Zealand’s Maoris, made famous by the country’s national rugby team, Sandmann said.

Phillips, an elder of the Omaha tribe, said he felt the students were mocking the dance and walked over to intervene. Phillips and Sandmann locked eyes, their faces inches apart. Both said their goal was simply to make sure things didn’t get out of hand.

But caught on video, the encounter still went viral. JEFFREY COLLINS (AP)

Asteroids’ strike rate doubles

For the past 290 million years, large asteroids have been crashing into Earth more than twice as often as they did in the previous 700 million years, according to a new study Thursday in the journal Science. But even with the increased crash rate, asteroids still only smack Earth every million or few million years on average. The biggest risk known to NASA at the moment is a 4,200-foot-wide asteroid with a 99.988 percent chance of missing Earth in 861 years.

nation+world Regulators say search giant violated Europe’s tough new privacy rules TECHNOLOGY Google has been fined nearly $57 million by French regulators for violating Europe’s tough new data-privacy rules, marking the first major penalty brought against a U.S. technology giant since the regionwide regulations took effect last year.

France’s top data-privacy agency, known as the CNIL, said Monday that Google failed to fully disclose to users how their personal information is collected and what happens to it. Google

also did not properly obtain users’ consent for the purpose of showing them personalized ads, the watchdog agency said.

To French regulators, Google’s business practices ran afoul of Europe’s new General Data Protection Regulation. Implemented in 2018, the sweeping privacy rules, commonly referred to as GDPR, have set a global standard that has forced Google and its tech peers in Silicon Valley to rethink their data-collection practices or risk sky-high fines.

The U.S. lacks a similar overarching federal consumer privacy law, a deficiency in the eyes of privacy rights advocates that has elevated Europe as the

The French fine could presage even tougher scrutiny of Google and the rest of Silicon Valley in Europe, which has already demonstrated its willingness to punish U.S.-based tech companies for their missteps. In recent years, EU officials have penalized Apple for its tax practices, probed Facebook for multiple privacy scandals and slapped Google with a record-breaking fine on charges it sought to undermine its corporate rivals.

Venezuela quells uprising by guardsmen CARACAS, VENEZUELA Venezuela plunged deeper into turmoil Monday as security forces put down a pre-dawn uprising by national guardsmen that triggered violent street protests.

Socialist party chief Diosdado Cabello said 27 guardsmen were arrested and more could be detained as the probe unfolds.

The mutiny struck at a time when opposition leaders have regained momentum in their efforts to oust President Nicolas Maduro. They have called for a nationwide demonstration Wednesday, urging Venezuelans to abandon Maduro.

The uprising triggered protests in Cotiza, just a few miles from the presidential palace. It was dispersed with tear gas as residents set fire to a barricade of trash and chanted demands that Maduro leave power.

The military said that it had recovered all the weapons and captured those involved in what it described as “treasonous” acts motivated by “obscure interests tied to the far right.”

It said at around 2:50 a.m., a small group of guardsmen took captive a captain in charge of a police station, moved across the capital in two military trucks and stole a cache of weapons from another outpost.

Officials said 25 soldiers were quickly caught at the National Guard outpost a few miles from the Miraflores presidential palace, and two more arrests were made at another location.

LONDON British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday spelled out a “Plan B” for Brexit that appeared very much like a warmed-over version of her Plan A, which suffered a crushing defeat in Parliament last week.

May was forced to return to Westminister by a newly assertive Parliament that has been trying to exert more control over what

an idea May has rejected.

May refused to rule out a nodeal Brexit — the possibility that Britain could “crash out” of the EU without a deal March 29, which the government warns could create economic hardship, shortages in medicine and traffic jams at the ports.

May said she thought progress was still possible on the most contentious element of the withdrawal deal — the “Irish backstop,” to prevent the re-emergence of a hard border on the island of Ireland after Brexit. KARLA ADAM, WILLIAM BOOTH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

POLITICS Doris Cochran, a disabled mother of two young boys, is stockpiling canned foods these days. Her pantry looks as though she’s preparing for a winter storm, but she’s just trying to make sure her family won’t go hungry if her food stamps run out.

For those like Cochran who rely on federal aid programs, the social safety net no longer feels so safe. Most major aid programs haven’t dried up yet. But as the longest government shutdown in U.S. history stretches into a fifth week, millions of poor Americans who depend on food and rental assistance are becoming increasingly worried about the future.

“I just don’t know what’s going to happen,” Cochran said, “and that’s what scares me the most.”

With no indication of an imminent compromise, the Trump administration in recent weeks has scrambled to restore some services across the government.

But two agencies crucial to the federal safety net — the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Agriculture — remain largely shuttered.

The USDA announced this month that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which provides food aid to roughly 40 million Americans, will be fully funded through February. But should the shutdown stretch into March, its status is unclear: With just $3 billion in reserves, the USDA won’t be able to cover the roughly $4.8 billion it pays in monthly benefits.

The department was able to stretch the program for another month based on a loophole in a spending bill. But as a result of congressional rules, food stamp benefits allotted for February were being given out early, before

Doris Cochran of Arlington plans to sell homemade crafts and clothes to earn extra money during the shutdown.

World economy to slow in ’19 as ‘risks are rising’

But between December and the end of February, roughly 1,700 contracts are slated to expire, meaning that HUD won’t be able to make those payments.

The agency has asked landlords to dip into their reserves to cover rental costs until the government reopens, with a promise of reimbursement. Similarly, come February, 700 rental assistance contracts in a USDA program that offers aid to low-income people in rural areas also will expire.

Cochran, who lives in subsidized housing in Arlington with her 6- and 8-year-old sons, relies solely on government subsidies to survive. She used to drive a truck, but recent health issues have left her unable to work.

She said she returned toys she’d bought her sons for Christmas so she could buy them shoes.

“It was hard, but you have to make choices,” she said. “I’m experiencing quite a bit of anxiety.”

ECONOMICS The International Monetary Fund cut its growth forecast for 2019 on Monday. And China, the world’s second-biggest economy, said it had slowed to its weakest pace since 1990.

The IMF cut its estimate for global growth to 3.5 percent, from the 3.7 percent it predicted in October and down from 2018’s 3.7 percent.

The fund cited heightened trade tensions and rising interest rates.

“After two years of solid expansion, the world economy is growing more slowly than expected and risks are rising,” said IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, above.

The World Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and other forecasters have also downgraded their world growth estimates.

Among key concerns is China, which on Monday reported growth of 6.6 percent in 2018, the weakest since 1990. Demand for Chinese exports weakened last year, and the IMF expects China’s growth to decelerate to 6.2 percent this year.

The IMF left its prediction for U.S. growth this year unchanged at 2.5 percent, though a continued partial government shutdown poses a risk.

The IMF trimmed the outlook for the 19 countries that use the euro as their currency to 1.6 percent from 1.8 percent.

Jan. 20. There is no guarantee recipients will get food stamps for March, but even if the program continues without a lapse, recipients would have to stretch their current allotment for at least six weeks, rather than four.

The USDA says there has never before been a break in food stamp benefits since the program was made permanent in 1964.

Food ba nks are already stretched thin because of a notable spike in demand from furloughed federal employees, contractors and others out of work due to the shutdown, said Carrie Calvert, the managing director for government relations at Feeding America, a hunger relief organization.

“This is a potentially catastrophic situation,” she said. “This could be an immediate emergency that grows exponentially.”

Don’t shy away from making trades Patriots coach Bill Belichick has mastered the strategy of trading for affordable and experienced players — many who are in the third and fourth years of their rookie contracts. This offseason, he traded for left tackle Trent Brown, WR Cordarrelle Patterson, DT Danny Shelton and CB Jason McCourty. Last offseason, he traded for WR Brandin Cooks, before dealing him to the Rams this April. Part of the Rams’ blueprint has been built through the trades of general manager Les Snead, who dealt for CBs Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib along with Cooks this offseason. Snead didn’t stop there, acquiring edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. from Jacksonville at the trade deadline.

3 To find success, find an elite playcaller Of the four conference finalists, each had a playcaller considered one of the best in the game: Rams coach Sean McVay, Saints coach Sean Payton, Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. The league’s rule changes gave the offense a decided advantage, and the four highest-scoring teams in the league wound up playing Sunday. With that unlikely to change next season, any serious title contender is going to need to put a high-scoring offense on the field. All four of the conference finalists had a 4,000-yard passer, with the exception of the Saints’ Drew Brees, who came up 28 yards short after resting in Week 17.

5 lessons from the Rams, Patriots This year’s Super Bowl matchup in many ways will be painted as young (the Rams’ Jared Goff and Sean McVay) versus old (the Patriots’ Tom Brady and Bill Belichick). But there are also many easily overlooked similarities between the teams. As the NFL’s other 30 teams make their offseason changes, they would be wise to learn these lessons from the Super Bowl participants.

2 Place a high value on offensive line play According to Pro Football Focus, the four conference finalists ranked among the top 11 for offensive line play, with the Patriots ranking third and the Rams seventh. Both offensive line coaches — L.A.’s Aaron Kromer and New England’s Dante Scarnecchia — have done an outstanding job with rebuilt lines this season and played pivotal roles in their team’s playoff runs. Kromer picked up on how the Cowboys were tipping off their stunts and blitzes by the way they lined up before the snap in last week’s divisional round matchup. And Scarnecchia’s aggressive blocking scheme against the Chargers played a big role in that victory.

Go for it on fourth down The Rams and Patriots (in addition to the Saints and Chiefs) deserve credit for embracing the analytics movement and being aggressive in going for it on fourth down. The four teams were a combined 38 of 60 on fourth-down attempts, converting 63.3 percent — well above the league average of 55.7 percent. The Rams essentially iced their win over Dallas in the divisional round with coach Sean McVay’s decision to go for it on fourth-and-goal. The Chiefs did make a critical fourth-and-1 stop of New England in Sunday’s game, but generally speaking, fortune has favored the teams willing to go for it on fourth down this season.

Just how good is Tony Romo at doing color commentary for NFL games on CBS? So good, he can see into the future. A compilation video with more than 1.5 million views shows just how often the former Cowboys QB was in the minds of the Patriots’ playcallers during Sunday’s AFC title game. As the Eagles’ Chris Long tweeted, Romo had “Miss Cleo in his earpiece.” Many others on Twitter praised Romo’s job in the booth. Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders said “he should be a coach.”

ESPN’s Mike Greenberg wrote: “No one in the sport had a better day today than Tony Romo.”

And even Bryce Harper, baseball’s biggest free agent, joked that he “just called Tony Romo to see where I’m going to play next year.” (TWP)

Remember what the run game can do The Rams and Patriots ranked in the top five of the NFL in rushing yards this season. Their ground success was readily apparent in both teams’ divisional-round wins, and while the Saints largely bottled up the Rams on the ground Sunday, Patriots RB Sony Michel ran for 106 yards and two TDs vs. Kansas City. For L.A., the running game is a huge factor in setting up the play-action pass, including through the use of jet sweeps and other motion. The Patriots ask a lot of their backs in the passing game, finding creative ways to get them the ball. Even though this season was defined by passing numbers, teams that can win on the ground set themselves up for success.

WIZARDS 101, PISTONS 87 The Wizards turned in their best defensive performance of the season Monday in a 101-87 home win over the Pistons. Even though Blake Griffin put up a game-high 29 points, Detroit’s scoring output was the lowest by a Washington opponent this year.

That’s a major step forward for the NBA’s second-worst defensive team.

“It was just effort,” said Bradley Beal, who scored 16 points.

“We let Blake get a little comfortable, but for the most part we did a good job of taking all their actions away and making it difficult for them.”

The Pistons scored just 17 points in the first quarter and were never able to recover. The Wizards, who are 7-3 in their past 10 games, p g , held Detroit to

30 percent shooting in the first half and never let their lead dip below 10 points in the second.

Washington limited the Pistons to two offensive rebounds and had seven players in double figures, led by Trevor Ariza with 20 and Otto Porter Jr. with 19 off the bench.

Porter has moved between a starting and reserve role this season, starting 25 of his 33 games.

Wizards coach Scott Brooks said he likes how his team is playing when he brings Porter off the bench and doesn’t want to mess with success.

“The thing I like about it is he’s getting more shots, and we need Otto to take more shots,” Brooks said. “We have to be able to continue to play with a lot of pace and a lot of extra passing.”

RESEARCH FINDS...

A class attendee and instructor work on drills during a NuBoxx boxing class.

Roll with the punches As boxing becomes more mainstream, boutique gyms are arriving on D.C.’s scene WORKOUTS Ask old-timers, and most will say the District used to be a boxing town. Even if D.C.’s fight scene didn’t stack up against Los Angeles, Philadelphia or Las Vegas, there was the House of Champions, the Latin Connection, Round One and Midtown. Perhaps most famous was Finley’s, which was visited by Mike Tyson, George Foreman and Larry Holmes.

Not many of the old-school spots are still standing: There’s Downtown Boxing, in an unmarked building outside Union Market, and Tony’s Boxing Gym in Trinidad, which is run by a former D.C. police officer.

Today, the District’s boxing scene seems to be going through a rebirth, but with a much different look — one that reflects how the city has changed. A sport that once attracted blue-collar men in the District is now being marketed to the city’s influx of affluent residents — especially women.

In the past three years, Urban

Boxing has opened locations in Foggy Bottom, Bethesda and Arlington. It remains the only chain to offer one-on-one sparring.

NuBoxx has brought fitness-style boxing classes to NoMa, and it’s looking toward a second location on U Street NW. Later this year, Rumble plans to open a location downtown, while an apparent challenger, Bash, is preparing to open in Arlington.

The growth is part of a broader boom in boutique boxing.

“Strong is the new skinny,” says Josh Leve, founder and chief executive of the Association of Fitness Studios. “Exercise, specifically boxing, has become an outlet for stress as well as building strength.”

The new studios are also benefiting from a surge in disposable income. Monthly memberships at Nuboxx, for example, range from $189 to $259, or $25 to $35 per class. Rumble, which charges $36 per class in New York, says it will be priced like “other premier players in the market,” such as

A new scene The new boxing model is similar to how SoulCycle and Flywheel put a new spin on, well, spinning, and Orange Theory on interval training.

And like those gyms, the high-end boxing gyms are drawing from a pronounced “influx of female consumers,” according to a report from IBISWorld. More than 81 percent of the consumers at boxing gyms are ages 18 to 34. A.N.

SoulCycle, which charges $30 in D.C. At Downtown Boxing, in contrast, the price is $110 a month.

At Tony’s Boxing Gym, it’s just $60. Indeed, as the boutique offerings have sprouted across the District, the old-school boxing offerings have been chased to the city’s edges, pushed out by rising rents and redevelopment.

“It’s a question whether these traditional, hole-in-the-wall gyms can survive,” says Thomas “The Promise” Trebotich, an ex-fighter.

Afrobeat Fit dance workout comes to D.C.’s Dance Loft on 14th on Saturday at 1:15 p.m.; $15

While higher-income households nationwide have enjoyed an increase in fitness activity in the past five years, those making less than $50,000 have seen such activity fall, according to a report by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association.

Nuboxx owner Rachel Snider says she’s aware of the effect of that disparity, especially in a city that’s seen as much change as the District. The gym’s second location will provide more room, she says, and “I want to do some youth programs. … Boxing helps so many people in so many ways.”

Saleem Abdullah, trainer at Tony’s Boxing Gym, trains a half-dozen people in the morning. In the evening, he focuses on training neighborhood kids — as many as two dozen a night. t. “ I h ave t hem do home ework first, then cardio, jump p rope, sprints,” Abdullah says. s.

“I love what I do. This city y changed. But it’s always been n a boxing city.” ALAN NEUHAUSER

PETE MAROVICH (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Stepping toward 10,000 Americans wearing a fitness tracker, specifically a Fitbit device, took more than 26 trillion steps last year — precisely 26,857,655,603,500 steps, Fitbit reports.

They accomplished this over 118.9 billion minutes; they also slept 12.4 billion hours.

Fitbit says its U.S. clients averaged 7,994 steps a day, ranking 33rd worldwide (Hong Kong residents topped the list, averaging 10,493 steps a day).

Taking 10,000 steps a day has become a popular goal among those who wear fitness trackers. Some research suggests that walking that amount can help lower the risk of chronic illnesses.

Current U.S. physical activity guidelines recommend that adults do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, which some researchers say equates to about 7,500 steps a day.

I’d ask … if I knew the questions Q. My wife feels like I don’t care about her because I don’t ask

questions. She was going to a baby shower, which upsets her because she wants a family. She was mad because I didn’t think to call her. She never said the baby shower was upsetting to her.

She expected me to put that together, but I didn’t. I don’t know how to change when the questions don’t even occur to me.

Here’s the thing: The problem of these questions not occurring to you is now occurring to you. So you can now make an effort to think about what questions should cross your mind by asking yourself how she might feel about something — or just asking her directly.

It’s not up to you to be a mind reader, but she’s already given you the data you need to start.

Try open-ended questions like “How has your day been?”

“What’s been on your mind?”

“How are you feeling these days?” “What’s going on in your world this week?” (Not all at once, of course.) And yes, you can even give yourself credit: “I know I struggle with this, so I’m trying to make more of an effort. What would you like me to be asking about?”

I’m tired of my sister’s bragging daughters of similar ages and she constantly brags about everything her daughter achieves. I accept that her daughter is probably a better student than mine and is very talented in sports. But shouldn’t she know that it is insensitive to constantly bring this up in front of me — and worse yet, my daughter?

after a brief acknowledgment, move on. “That’s wonderful, Jenny. So, do you think it’ll snow again?” The larger conversation should lessen the need for those strategies. Tell her privately that you love her and her daughter dearly, and that’s why you owe it to her to let her know that she’s coming across in a way that can be hurtful. Convey that you want to hear about your niece, whom she has every right to be proud of, but that you hope she can take into consideration the g of her audience. feelings

You need two basic tools here: strategies in the moment that help defuse the brag-o-mania, and a sensitive, private conversation that generalizes the issue. First, the strategies: Don’t take it out on your niece by ignoring or escalating, but

Don Cheadle and his excellent mustache star in Showtime’s “Black Monday.”

GET ‘Black Monday’s’ WE IT DONE. stock starts low

TV REVIEW Less a comedy and more a contest to see who can make the most 1980s jokes, Showtime’s “Black Monday” would be better if it would just slow down.

Unfortunately, one of the running gags on the show, which premiered Sunday, involves the unlimited mounds of Bolivian marching powder that fuel a group of rogue Wall Street traders. So slowing down is just not part of the plan. It’s one snort after another, and not nearly enough of them are the laughing kind.

Co-created by David Caspe and Jordan Cahan, with Seth Rogen credited as a co-producer and director, “Black Monday” begins in October 1986, one year before the 508-point stock market plunge for which the show is named.

Andrew Rannells stars as

Blair Pfaff, a Midwestern nerd who finds himself in demand

by Manhattan’s top financial firms. Through a series of missteps, Blair winds up working for Maurice “Mo” Monroe (Don Cheadle), an ambitious self-styled pimp figure on Wall Street.

Mo’s small but high-flying firm is populated with supporting players, among them the successful yet underappreciated Dawn Towner (Regina Hall) and an unctuous yuppie with a secret life, Keith Shankar (Paul Scheer).

There’s so much going on that it’s difficult to separate “Black Monday’s” sharpest moments from its constant throwaway lines. Cleverness appears, only to be drowned out by all the frantic energy and half-attempts at humor that smother it. HANK STUEVER

entertainment Tessa Hadley’s novel is a thoughtful portrait of living on after loss BOOK REVIEW With each new book by Tessa Hadley, it becomes more clear that she’s one of the greatest stylists alive. The 62-year-old British author of seven novels and several story collections, Hadley regularly inspires such praise, but her success was hardly a foregone conclusion. Her first novel, “Accidents in the Home,” didn’t appear until she was 46.

“Late in the Day,” her book released last week, involves two married couples who have known each other since their university days. Lydia is married to Zachary, a wealthy man who owns a London art gallery. Christine is married to Alex, a poet who teaches at a primary school. On the opening page, Lydia calls from the hospital with news that Zachary has suffered a heart attack. Christine listens for several minutes before asking, “Are they going to operate?” “I told you,” Lydia says, “he’s dead.”

Tessa Hadley’s novel “Late in the Day” depicts how a man’s death affects his widow and friends.

forward and backward in alternating chapters. The earliest sections show Christine and Lydia as students, respectively cautious and reckless, in their pursuit of Alex and Zachary. In the novel’s present-day sections, we watch Zachary’s widow and his surviving friends struggle to recalibrate their world without him.

Despite its grim opening, this is a novel about the persistence of life, the agonizing but clarifying effect of great loss. Even late in the day, Hadley suggests, there’s still time to begin again.

“Not everyone who defends freedom carries a gun…”

“E “Erykah Badu is proof that if you dress artsy and talk about ‘vibrations,’ people will think you’re ‘vibrat deep, deep no matter what stupid crap comes out of your mouth.” co

— John F. Kerry, 68th Secretary of State

@ALYSSAWRAH, criticizing the singer for her comments on R. Kelly during her @ALYSSAWRA

Chicago show Saturday. Badu questioned what would happen if “one of the people that was wa assaulted by R. Kelly grows up to be an offender.” On Sunday, Badu clarified her comments, tweeting that she loves Kelly (who is accused of sexual abuse) abu “unconditionally” but doesn’t support his “poor choices.”

“I’m just a Gen Xer, standing in front of history, asking it to acknowledge me.” @GOLDENGATEBLOND, reacting

to a CBS News graphic listing generational groups by birth year, which included the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Millennials and Post-Millennials (Gen Z), while leaving out Gen X — those ages 38 to 53.

Other Gen Xers were fine with being left out, preferring to avoid tired Boomer-Millennial disputes.

“Saw this. Immediately forgot how I have been drawing x’s my entire life. Had to write each one down. None felt right.” @KCAMPBELLYEG, tweeting about a debate begun by Twitter user @SMASEY, who tweeted out a diagram of eight different ways to draw the letter X. The comments blew up, with @SMASEY noticing that the biggest difference seemed to be between Americans and Brits.

Read the dramatic new memoir of The Washington Post journalist who was held hostage in a high-security prison in Tehran for 18 months— and whose release almost didn’t happen.

“It is SO comforting to see that there are other women who experience this level of bloating.

Thank you sis.”

Available now at all fine booksellers N0057-2x10.5

@KATH_RYNNN, praising a thread

started by @itsjustfatimah about how much her stomach distended after she ate. The Twitter user sent out a call to other women who get bloated, leading to an influx of women sharing photos of their own “food babies.” Many praised @itsjustfatimah for her positive thread that embraced all body sizes.

“Broner said he won?

Did I hear that right?” @MR4THANDLONG, joking about

Adrien Broner’s post-match interview, in which he insisted he’d beaten Manny Pacquiao despite his loss by unanimous decision in which l Pacquiao landed 112 punches — and Broner just 50. Speaking ringside to Showtime interviewer Jim Gray, Broner insisted “Everybody out there [knows] I beat him” and told Gray G he could beat him seven times.

MEDIUM

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can enjoy something new and something old, and by taking advantage of prevailing circumstances, you can combine them creatively.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may not be completely satisfied with how you address a challenge today, but you must be willing to acknowledge a certain level of success.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can settle into a more relaxing mode of behavior today, even though others are up in arms about a surprise development.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You must tend to business in a way that satisfies your need for accomplishment and your desire for novelty.

FRIDAY’S SOLUTION

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may

be facing a deadline of sorts, and you mustn’t let anyone distract you as time slips by. Get to work!

FRIDAY’S SOLUTION

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Someone you know is doing things that pique your interest; you may want to get to know him or her better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It’s a good time to exchange information freely, and you can do so without any suspicion that someone is trying to take advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your opinions may not be shared by others, but you needn’t consider changing your mind unless you are presented with certain evidence.

TODAY: Mercifully, the wind will relax but, even so, it will be a very cold day. Even with sunshine, highs will stay largely below freezing, perhaps touching 33 or 34 degrees in some places. In the evening, we’ll have increasing high clouds and it won’t be as cold as light winds from the south filter in.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) What you think you know and what you know are very different things, but today you’ll come to terms with both.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What you do today is likely to have a lasting effect on those around you, so you must consider their well-being.

Something that you enjoyed only yesterday may leave you unimpressed today because you are in flux yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be largely responsible for someone else’s success today — or, at the very least, you are the one to make it all possible.

Lady Gaga lambasted Vice President Pence during her concert Saturday in Las Vegas, calling him “the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian.” The singer’s comments came after Pence’s wife, Karen, took a job teaching at a Christian school in Virginia that bans LGBT faculty and students — leading the vice president to call criticism of that decision “deeply offensive.” “I am a Christian woman, and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and everybody is welcome,” Gaga said during her performance of “Million Reasons.” (EXPRESS)
