Paul Reosti greets fans Sunday after singing the national anthem before the Nationals’ game against the Cincinnati Reds at Nationals Park.

ignore some truly wicked reverb are in play 81 times a season as homegrown singers get a minuteand-a-half of home-field airtime.

“We look for people we know can do a good job in some challenging circumstances,” said Thomas Davis, the Nats’ director of entertainment, who recruits the singers. Hopefuls can send an audition track to anthem@nationals.com.

After 13 seasons, Davis usually knows by the second stanza who has big-league stuff.

“We take it very seriously. It’s the national anthem in the nation’s capital.”

THOMAS DAVIS, the Nats’ director of entertainment, who directs the mini-pageant of anthem singers, color guards and first pitchers that must satisfy broadcast schedules, watch-tapping umpires and the occasional fighter jet flyover

“I’ve listened to a lot of national anthems,” Davis said.

For many, the tryout is over when they are gobsmacked by the disorienting experience of having your voice emerge in the arena well after it leaves your throat, a function of stadium sound engineering.

Some singers wear earplugs, including Adalia Jimenez, 19. The popular anthem regular at Nats Park has appeared several times a year since elementary school, as braces came and went and her voice matured. “Basically, I went through puberty at Nationals Park,” said Jimenez, a sophomore at Shenandoah University.

For singers, the most discerning audience are the players and coaches standing along the basepaths for 162 performances a year.

“Oh, we rate them,” said Nats bench coach Chris Speier. “Like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s good.’ Or ‘Hmm, no.’ ” The players seem to prefer the brisker versions. “ It’s one of the ha rdest things to sing,” said relief pitcher Blake Treinen. “So just sing it. Don’t draw it out.

Don’t make it longer than it has to be. Sing it.” STEVE HENDRIX (THE WASHINGTON POST)

IN MEMORIAM

Obit mourns man’s death, Nats bullpen “KILLEBREW, Patrick, ‘Pat,’ age 68, passed away peacefully at home, June 20, 2017, after watching the Washington Nationals relief pitchers blow yet another lead.” That’s the start to the obituary the family placed in The Richmond TimesDispatch after the death of Killebrew, an “avid” Nationals fan. Killebrew’s son, Jake, said Monday that he and his mother felt the good-natured obit was something they had to do. Their kicker: “In lieu of flowers, send ‘donations’ to the ‘Nationals Bullpen Fund.’ ” (AP)

And the maitre d’ famous for bursting into song in downtown restaurants is a reliable 68-second guy when it comes to singing the national anthem before Nationals games a few times a year.

“The timing is everything,” Paul Reosti said Sunday as he tugged his bow tie into shape and ran through arpeggios in the ladies’ locker room where anthem singers prepare. “It’s a very precise operation.”

Baseball may be a game without a clock, but when it comes to the pregame ritual of local singers performing “The StarSpangled Banner,” speed is of the essence. Being able to deliver the bombs bursting and banners waving at a briskly dignified clip is one of the main criteria for making it into the team’s roster of amateur anthemists.

D.C. sees sharp drop in new HIV infections

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY

Police seek help nabbing illegal ATV riders in city

347 cases reported in city in 2016, down 73 percent from 2007

26%

ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT In 2007, D.C. residents were diagnosed with HIV at a rate of nearly four per day. That rate dropped to less than one resident per day in 2016.

The 73 percent decline in new cases — from 1,333 in 2007 to 347 in 2016 — can be attributed to factors including needle exchanges, condom distribution and increasing use of preventive medication to halt the spread of the disease, city officials said Tuesday.

“I’m pleased to say we have made considerable progress, but I don’t have to tell you there is more work to do,” said D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, speaking at a news conference at the Whitman-Walker community health clinic on 14th Street NW. D.C. remains in the midst of an HIV epidemic, officials said.

Approximately 13,000 people in D.C., or 1.9 percent of the population, are living with HIV, according to the D.C. Department of Health’s annual report.

The World Health Organization defines a generalized epidemic as a disease affecting at least 1 percent of the population.

But efforts by the city — including distributing more than 6 million male and female condoms in 2016 and removing more

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Needle-exchange programs in D.C. helped reduce the number of drugrelated HIV diagnoses from 149 in 2007 to just seven cases in 2016.

than 800,000 needles from the street — are helping D.C. make progress, said D.C. Health Department Director LaQuandra Nesbitt.

The needle-exchange program, which helped reduce the number of drug-related HIV diagnoses from 149 in 2007 to seven in 2016, is one example of the city’s success, Nesbitt said.

“Just seven cases — it’s stunning,” Bowser said.

Possible changes to federal health care law are not expected to change the status of the city’s needle-exchange program, she said. From 1998 to 2007, Congress blocked the District from allocating local tax dollars for needle-exchange efforts.

The groups who are most affected by the virus in the District are black men, followed by black

women, Nesbitt said. Last year, the District began the nation’s first campaign to encourage black women to begin taking the prophylactic drug known as PrEP, which drastically cuts the risk of contracting HIV. Bowser released a plan in December 2016 aimed at combating the city’s HIV epidemic. The plan, dubbed the 90/90/90/50 plan, calls for having 90 percent of HIVpositive District residents aware of their status, 90 percent of those who have been diagnosed receiving treatment and 90 percent who are in treatment reaching viralload suppression by 2020.

The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of new diagnoses to 185 or fewer by 2020, which would be a 50 percent drop from the number of new cases in 2015.

RACHEL CHASON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Chaffetz says living in D.C. too expensive On his way out of Congress, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, gave many District residents a reason to gripe Tuesday when he called for members of Congress to receive a housing stipend.

He said lawmakers have trouble affording housing in D.C. — which he called “one of the most expensive places in the world” — in addition to a home in their congressional districts, on a $174,000 annual salary. “I really do believe Congress would be much better served if there was a housing allowance for members of Congress,” Chaffetz told The Hill, which first reported his stipend proposal. “In today’s climate, nobody’s going to suggest or vote for a pay raise. But you shouldn’t have to be among the wealthiest of Americans to serve properly in Congress.” (TWP)

DROP IN VIOLENT CRIME IN D.C.

The drop in violent crime in D.C. over the first six months of the year compared to the same period in 2016, a hopeful sign for police and city officials trying to build on modest crime declines last year after a spike in killings in 2015. Homicides are down 15 percent, from 61 at this time in 2016 to 52 so far this year. Members of law enforcement remain cautiously optimistic as the hot summer starts and worries mount that youths with idle time and little supervision could get into trouble over the long holiday weekend.

Court to weigh police use of license plate data Virginia’s highest court will consider a challenge to a police practice of keeping data from automated license plate readers.

Police say the data is crucial to help find missing people and stolen cars and solve other crimes. But critics say keeping the data past a short period of time presents privacy concerns.

Police say Martinez Torres dumped Nabra’s body in a pond near his apartment June 18, after he allegedly attacked her in the Herndon area.

Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said detectives are exploring the possibility that Nabra had been sexually assaulted before she was killed.

A week before Darwin Martinez Torres was arrested for allegedly abducting and killing a Muslim teenager near a Virginia mosque, a woman arrived at a hospital emergency room and reported that a man — later identified as Martinez Torres — had punched, choked and sexually assaulted her and was a member of the MS-13 gang, according to two people familiar with the woman’s account.

The acts allegedly occurred in the presence of a young child, which prompted a call to Loudoun County’s Child Protective Services agency, which in turn filed a report with the county sheriff, the two people said.

On his way out: Chaffetz reflects on House legacy

Q+A

Think carefully before taking a buyout offer

On the Secret Service One of his proudest accomplishments was his work to improve the Secret Service after a series of embarrassing lapses damaged the agency’s reputation.

“I really think it was probably one of the most effective things we did,” he said. “I really think we made some major changes in the agency.”

Q. I see that buyouts and early-out offers are happening again.

How do I sign up?

CHIP SOMODEVILLA (GETTY IMAGES)

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, will leave a legacy when he quits Congress at 10 a.m.

Friday, but we might not have his mug hanging around anywhere to remind us.

If incoming chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., does as Chaffetz did, portraits of past committee leaders will not decorate the panel’s hearing room. Chaffetz ended that long-standing practice, also followed by other committees, when he took over in 2015, opting to put up photos of everyday Americans instead.

“Now that Trey Gowdy is the chairman, my guess is they’re going to put up a mirror,” Chaffetz said with a hearty laugh.

I spoke with Chaffetz in his spacious Rayburn building office on Monday, as he prepared for his return to private life, which might be temporary.

Chaffetz, elected to a fifth term in November, recalled his accomplishments, disappointments and views on various topics during the interview.

On civil service reform At a signing ceremony for a Department of Veterans Affairs employee accountability bill Friday, President Trump said federal civil service protections are based on “outdated laws.” Chaffetz agrees.

“There needs to be a swifter way to get rid of the bad apples,” he said. “There are certain protections that need to be maintained. … Employees ought to have an opportunity to make their case. ... When somebody’s doing truly horrific, we got to get rid of them.”

On federal unions “I’m frustrated the unions weren’t more willing participants in trying to find that balance to get rid of the truly bad apples,” he said. “I wish they had the same vision I have. …

They seem to protect every

employee no matter what, and that hurts the whole.”

Randy Erwin, president of the National Federation of Federal Employees, strongly disagreed. “Our interest is in preserving due process so that good employees have the protections they need to do their jobs on behalf of the American people without fear of unfair or politically motivated reprisal,” he said. “It is safe to say that we do not share Rep. Chaffetz’s vision for the federal workforce.”

On federal compensation Chaffetz would like to see higher pay for some feds in critical positions, such as information technology. The IT workforce shortage, he said, is “the biggest personnel challenge that we face.”

On running for office again When asked if he will again seek public office, Chaffetz said: “I’m a definite maybe.”

‘CAN HE DO THAT?’

Obama’s struggle to punish Russia for election meddling Each week, the “Can He Do That?” podcast examines the powers and limitations of the presidency.

In the latest episode, The Washington Post’s national security team goes inside the Obama administration’s decision-making after the CIA found Russian President Vladimir Putin issuing these instructions: Defeat Hillary Clinton and help elect Donald Trump. Reporter Greg Miller tells the story.

Subscribe to “Can He Do That?” on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or wherever you get podcasts.

A. Only the Environmental Protection Agency has said it intends to offer those incentives, assuming it gets approval. But some other agencies — the Department of the Interior, for one — may follow.

Early-out offers allow federal employees to retire sooner — at any age with at least 25 years of service, or at age 50 or above with at least 20 years — than under standard policies. Buyouts are payments typically of up to $25,000 — the Defense Department can offer up to $40,000 — to entice employees to leave, whether or not they are eligible to retire.

Both can help agencies avoid the government’s complex layoff process. However, an agency doesn’t have to offer them, and even if it does, it can tailor them by location, occupation and other factors.

If you get an offer, you will be told how to apply. But think about it first.

An early out could mean retiring before you’re ready financially or personally.

Buyout payments are taxable, reducing their value, and you generally have to repay the full amount if you return to federal employment within five years.

GOP postpones vote on Senate health bill

CHICAGO

3 cops indicted; cover-up alleged in killing of teen

Delay amid Republican opposition leaves fate of overhaul in doubt FAT CATS (AND DOGS) SAUL LOEB (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS Senate Republican leaders bowed to pressure from within their ranks Tuesday and postponed a vote to overhaul the Affordable Care Act until after the July 4 recess, raising doubts about their ability to fulfill one of their party’s core political promises.

The delay, which now exposes lawmakers to a barrage of lobbying as they face their constituents over the holiday, has left a measure that was orchestrated to pass swiftly teetering in the balance.

But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had little choice after five Senate Republicans said they could not support the bill this week in the wake of a new budget analysis.

Conservatives are blasting the plan for leaving too much of the existing law in place, while a coalition of patient advocates, doctors and senior citizens’ groups have joined Democrats in decrying its proposed cuts to the Medicaid program and rollback of taxes imposed on the wealthy.

On Tuesday, McConnell said leaders were “still working to get 50 people in a more comfortable place” on what he described as “a very complicated subject.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that leaders are still working to get 50 senators comfortable enough to vote for the GOP’s heath care legislation.

Trump responds If the Republicans’ health care bill fails to pass in the Senate, President Trump said Tuesday, he won’t like it — but “that’s OK.” He spoke at a gathering of Senate Republicans after their leaders shelved a vote on their health care bill until at least next month. “This will be great if we get it done, and if we don’t get it done it’s going to be something that we’re not going to like and that’s OK and I can understand that,” the president said. (AP)

“But we’re going to press on,” he said. “We think the status quo is unsustainable.”

Meanwhile, progressive groups began laying the groundwork to attend senators’ public events, while medical providers

$2.7B

and groups representing Americans with chronic illnesses predicted that the bill could leave millions without access to adequate medical care.

The Congressional Budget Office concluded Monday that the measure would cause an estimated 22 million more Americans to be uninsured by 2026 while reducing federal spending by $321 billion.

After the CBO report, no new senators said they would back the legislation, and Republican Sens.

Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Susan Collins and Mike Lee signaled they would vote against starting debate on the bill in its current form. A fifth Republican, Sen. Dean Heller, has previously expressed that he did not support the bill. SEAN SULLIVAN, KELSEY SNELL AND JULIET EILPERIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

nation+world Chaos of ransomware goes global in a hack similar to WannaCry

NATIONAL SECURITY A new wave of powerful cyberattacks hit Europe on Tuesday, as Ukraine reported ransom demands targeting the government and key infrastructure, and the Danish conglomerate and shipping giant Maersk said many of its systems were down.

The Russian oil giant Rosneft and a subsidiary, Bashneft,

were also hit, as was the British advertising and marketing multinational WPP. Norway’s National Security Authority said an “international company” there was affected, and Martijn Pols, a spokesman for the Port of Rotterdam, said one shipping company, APM Terminals, was targeted.

The virus even hit systems monitoring radiation at the site of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

By midday Tuesday, reports of cyberattacks had spread as far as India and the U.S., where

the pharmaceutical giant Merck, based in New Jersey, said its systems had also been compromised.

The damage was worst in Ukraine. The hackers targeted government ministries, banks, utilities and companies nationwide, demanding ransoms in the cryptocurrency bitcoin.

The hack’s scale recalled the massive May cyberattack in which hackers disabled computers in more than 150 countries using a flaw that was once incorporated by the National Security Agency’s surveillance tool kit. That attack

VOCABULARY

‘woke’

FELIPE DANA (AP)

THE DEFINITION: Beyond being a past participle form of awake, it has long meant well-informed in a political or cultural sense. More recently, it has come to describe those especially aware of racial or social discrimination, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

BRAZIL

Iraqi forces push to retake the Old City in Mosul

Guerrillas from Colombia’s largest rebel army no longer carry their guns. In recent days, the rebels have relinquished their weapons to United Nations observers and vowed to help end the country’s half-century conflict. President Juan Manuel Santos traveled to the rebel camp Tuesday to join Rodrigo Londono, top commander of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, for a ceremony marking the conclusion of the disarmament process by 7,000 rebels across the country. The U.N. said Monday that 7,132 firearms and weapons have been collected. (AP)

used the vulnerability to install ransomware called WannaCry. Tuesday’s attacks used a different form of ransomware that experts said was similar to a virus known as Petya.

Petya works like WannaCry in that it spreads quickly to vulnerable systems, said Bill Wright of Symantec, the world’s largest cybersecurity firm.

THE BACK STORY: The OED adds this usage in its latest update, saying “woke” now has a distinct political meaning. “In the past decade,” it says, “that meaning has been catapulted into mainstream use with a particular nuance of ‘alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice,’ popularized through the ... song ‘Master Teacher’ … in which the words ‘I stay woke’ serve as a refrain, and more recently through its association with the Black Lives Matter movement.” (EXPRESS)

The approximate number of Iraqi nationals in the U.S. whose deportations were suspended for two weeks by a federal judge in Detroit on Monday night while he determines whether his court is the proper place to consider their fears of physical harm if they are kicked out of the country. The U.S. government said 1,400 Iraqis are under deportation orders nationwide, though most are not in custody. Legal action over their deportations is heating up because Iraq has agreed to accept them. (AP)

Trump hurts U.S. image A new poll shows America’s closest allies have a deteriorating view of the country ANALYSIS President Trump has alarmed citizens of the nation’s closest allies and others worldwide, diminishing the standing of the United States in their eyes, according to a wide-ranging international study released Monday.

But in the survey of 37 countries, Russia is a bright spot for Trump. As beleaguered as the president is at home, a majority of Russians say they have confidence in him. And Russians’ attitudes toward the U.S. have improved since Trump took office.

Elsewhere, though, and with remarkable speed, Trump’s presidency has taken a toll on America’s image abroad.

The international survey by the Pew Research Center found that favorable ratings of the U.S. have decreased from 64 percent of people across all countries surveyed at the end of Barack Obama’s presidency to 49 percent this spring. The new figures are similar to those toward the end of the George W. Bush administration.

The president himself has fared even worse: A median 22 percent are confident that Trump will do the right thing in global affairs, down from 64 percent who had confidence in Obama.

From Chile to Italy, from Sweden to Japan, majorities consider the president arrogant, intolerant, unqualified and dangerous.

On the flip side, most view him as a strong leader. And many expect their country’s relationship with the U.S. to withstand his presidency.

It is perhaps unsurprising that a man who campaigned on a pledge to put American interests first would generate backlash in other parts of the world. Nor is it surprising that the negative

reaction would carry over to opinions about the U.S. itself.

What is surprising, said Frank G. Wisner, a former diplomat who served under Democrats and Republicans, is the degree to which Trump has scorned

Trump formally nominates Christopher Wray to head FBI

principles the U.S. has not only long espoused but also helped to define in the previous century.

These include democratic governance, free markets, collective security, human rights and the rule of law — commitments that

together, Wisner said, delineate the liberal international order.

“America’s image has taken hits in recent years, from the decision to invade Iraq to the events of 2007 and 2008, when the American financial model took a huge hit,” he said. “But the most consequential is the ascent of Mr. Trump to the Oval Office.”

Global popular opinion matters, Wisner said, in part because it defines how foreign leaders engage with American interests.

The depths of disapproval registered abroad suggest that Trump has undone the progress Obama made in burnishing the American brand. It took Bush eight years, and the quagmire in Iraq, to notch such dismal ratings overseas, according to Pew. It has taken Trump six months.

His unpopularity is the result of a mix of disagreement with his signature policy objectives, such as building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and distaste for his character, according to Pew’s analysis of poll results.

Among other world leaders studied by Pew, German Chancellor Angela Merkel receives relatively high marks. The share of people who report little or no confidence in her, a median of 31 percent across 37 countries, is less than half that for Trump, at 74 percent. The survey found that 59 percent lack confidence in Russian President Vladimir Putin and 53 percent in Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Trust in the American president plummeted most in some of the United States’ closest allies in Europe and Asia, as well as in the countries it borders, Canada and Mexico. In only two countries, Russia and Israel, does Trump receive a higher score than Obama.

U.S.: Syria preps to launch a new chemical attack SYRIA The Trump administration threatened Tuesday that Syria will pay “a heavy price” if it follows through on what the U.S. says are preparations for another chemical weapons attack.

President Trump has said he won’t stand for Syria’s use of chemical weapons, which are banned under international law and are particularly worrisome in the Arab country because they could fall into extremists’ hands.

The Pentagon on Tuesday said it detected “active preparations”

by Syria for a chemical attack from the Shayrat air base, from which Syrian aircraft embarked on a sarin gas strike April 4, killing almost 90 people. Trump ordered a missile attack against the base in retaliation.

U.S. officials have been monitoring the movements of senior personnel from Branch 450 of the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, and on Monday, satellite imagery showed a Syrian aircraft parked near a building associated with chemical weapons, an intelligence official told The Washington Post.

The Syrian government has denied it ever used banned chemicals, and it rejected the latest allegation Tuesday. Syria’s two main allies, Russia and Iran, joined in bashing Washington.

John Wall, right, told ESPN he’s trying to persuade Paul George to consider the Wizards.

THREE POINTERS

GERALD HERBERT (AP)

NBA award winners In case you missed them, the NBA awards for 2016-17 were announced late Monday on TNT. Here’s a look at who won three of the most coveted honors, which are determined by a media panel. (AP)

3 Malcolm Brogdon Rookie of the Year

JERRY BREWER | THE WASHINGTON POST

Wall’s message: Recruiting George a plea to win now When he left for the summer, John Wall wasn’t interested in recruiting free agents for the Wizards.

“I don’t think I have to do that,” Wall said in May. “They understand and see what we do as a team over here: how we play together, how we move the ball. I think guys will just come if they want to come.”

A month later, it seems persuading a four-time All-Star to force a trade is a different story.

When you’re expected to shop in the Omri Casspi section of free agency, it doesn’t give a star itchy text-message fingers.

But flirting with a trade for Paul George, who has told Indiana he’s not re-signing when his contract expires after next season? Now Wall is engaged, no matter how improbable a

trade looks, no matter George’s desire to end up in Los Angeles.

“I’m trying to see if we can make something happen,” Wall told Marc J. Spears of ESPN’s The Undefeated this week.

It’s not going to happen, not with Wall and Bradley Beal off the table in trade discussions.

Not unless Indiana could accept a package that would include a sign-and-trade deal in which Wizards restricted free agent Otto Porter Jr. received the max contract he almost certainly will demand.

If money weren’t an issue, the idea of trading George for Porter, 23, and other assets would be intriguing. But how many teams deal their best player and start to rebuild by taking on the fresh, megacontract of another team’s third-best player?

President Ernie Grunfeld will continue to have conversations

with the Pacers, and he’ll be as creative as he can to try to form a championship-caliber trio of Wall, Beal and George. East of Golden State, it’s hard to imagine an alliance that fits more naturally than those three.

The combination of offense and defense, of shooting and playmaking and unselfishness on the perimeter, would make Washington an instant threat to Cleveland.

But every layer of such a deal is vastly complicated, especially George’s reluctance to commit past next season. Even if Grunfeld made the best trade pitch of his career, the Wizards couldn’t deal Porter, an efficient young talent whose game and demeanor fits perfectly, for a one-year rental.

George in Boston’s plan According to a Tuesday report from The Vertical, the Celtics are putting together a plan to sign free agent Gordon Hayward and acquire Paul George from the Pacers this summer. Boston wants to sign Hayward, a first-time All-Star last season with the Jazz, before making a deal for George, the report said.

That could be problematic if Indiana wants to trade George before free agency opens Saturday. (EXPRESS)

U.S. Open Cup: D.C. United visits New England in round of 16 tonight (7:30, ussoccer.com livestream)

Here’s the larger issue: Wall, who has two seasons left on his contract, is making his championship thirst clear. He wants to play on a team with three stars.

Consider the Wizards’ flirtation with George to be the official start of what could be a long and difficult attempt to appease Wall. He’s 26, on the front porch of his prime. He has had seven NBA seasons to grow. He is beyond the phase in which he’s just happy to be an All-Star.

Because Wall was named third-team all-NBA last season, he’s eligible to sign a super-max extension with the Wizards this summer. That would allow him to bypass 2019 free agency and sign a four-year deal worth about $160 million.

But Wall won’t necessarily sprint to sign, because he uns derstands the power he wields by waiting for his team to upe grade, or at least maintain, the ds roster. Fortunately, the Wizards e have a cushion because they’ve done a solid job so far.

Still, star maintenance is always an urgent endeavor in the NBA. Just ask the Pacers.

The Bucks’ guard who played at Virginia beat the 76ers’ Joel Embiid and Dario Saric and is the first man to win the award who wasn’t a first-round pick.

2 Draymond Green Defensive Player of Year

The Warriors’ forward ended a two-year run by Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard after edging John Wall for the NBA lead in steals per game (2.03).

After being limited largely to pool exercises for a couple of weeks, he recently shed his walking boot, took swings Sunday, and played catch on the field before Monday’s 5-4 home loss to the Cubs. Tuesday’s game ended after Express’ deadline.

Washington is planning a rehab assignment for Werth, potentially with a trip to West Palm Beach, Fla., to get started, but he still hasn’t started running. Manager Dusty Baker admitted that the team doesn’t expect him to return until after the All-Star break, which

Moving to the future

Increasingly, D.C. condo buyers are willing to pay more for modern home design

ARCHITECTURE When Ditto Residential finished its most recent condo project on the 1500 block of Sixth Street NW, designed in a glassy, breezy style by Chicago-based architect Brad Lynch of firm Brininstool + Lynch, developers were stunned by how quickly buyers snapped them up.

“We had no amenities, not even parking,” Ditto Residential founder Martin Ditto says. “We priced it at the top of the market, and we found buyers in 48 hours.

I thought: What just happened?”

Ditto believes the tastes of buyers in the District have evolved to embrace modern architecture.

The popularity of other futuristic

residential buildings, like the Atlantic Plumbing building in Shaw and the Westlight at 23rd and L streets NW, supports his theory.

“People are gravitating away from the crown molding and the traditional look,” says Mei Mei Watts Venners, director of sales at Westlight, from developer EastBanc. “They want natural light, they want windows. The urban marketplace has changed.”

In historic Washington, a residential development boom from the early 1900s dictates the look of much of the residential architecture. That’s when prolific developer Harry Wardman built out neighborhoods such as Bloomingdale, Columbia

Getting with the times As the modern trend marches on, some detractors exist. When D.C.-based architect Eric Colbert first presented a modern glassand-steel design for an apartment building at 5333 Connecticut Ave. in 2013, the neighbors, most of whom lived in single-family homes, filed several lawsuits to try to stop construction. But after meeting with the area neighborhood commission several times and making a few tweaks, Colbert ultimately sold the community on the new design, and the building opened to residents in 2016. “It’s an incredibly contemporary design, and we’re very proud,” Colbert says. S.M.

Heights and Woodley Park with hundreds of rowhouses and dozens of apartment buildings and hotels. Brick abounds.

Now that another development boom is underway, developers are starting to realize that contemporary designs are appealing to some high-end buyers more than re-creations of the past.

“We’re not trying to copy what is there, because, frankly, the craftsmanship would be really difficult to copy in today’s world,” says Brian Coulter, a managing partner at the development firm JBG. “And we are always looking for variety.”

The Adele, part of a mixed-use development of a 1920s stone-and-brick office building, will have just 13 condos, including six “Estate Collection” units that can be customized with the help of the building’s architect, Jane Nelson, and interior designer, Michael Hampton These condos will have 1,700 to 2,100 square feet, with private elevator entrances, terraces, balconies and French doors overlooking 16th Street. The seven “City Collection” units range from a 650-squarefoot one-bedroom unit to a two-bedroom unit with 940 square feet. These units have wide-plank oak floors, Calcutta gold quartz counters, customdesigned closets and private balconies or terraces. Residents will have access to a landscaped rooftop terrace. Prices have yet to be established for the condos. Models are anticipated to open late this year or in early 2018. MICHELE LERNER (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

WEDNESDAY | 06.28.2017 | EXPRESS | 19

Modern condos CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

architects have turned to more expensive materials, such as glass and metal. The prices reveal the cost of construction: At Atlantic Plumbing, condos ranged from the upper $300,000s to $1.9 million; at Westlight, from $625,000 to $4.4 million; and at Ditto’s Sixth Street project, from $995,000 to $1,249,000. With the price per square foot at the top of the market, the modern units are sometimes smaller, and the abundance of light helps the spaces feel open.

Lindsay Reishman, an agent and senior vice president at Compass, brought several clients to Westlight.

“One client was looking at the penthouse, and the price came out to $1,500 per square foot,”

he says. “It’s still not New York City or Miami, where people pay a real premium for design. But there is a willingness to pay a little bit, and it’s enough to justify the effort for developers.”

A few years ago, modern buildings had a harder time finding buyers to meet their higher price point. The Lacey, for example, is a glassy, modern condo project that went up on 11th Street NW in 2009. Though the design won awards, the developers needed to go through several waves of price reductions before selling all the units.

But for Amanda Skura, a resident at Atlantic Plumbing, the modern architecture was a big reason for seeking a home there.

“The light is amazing,” Skura says. “I rarely have the blinds closed in the living room, and

rarely need lighting on, even when it starts to get dark.”

For Skura, living in the streamlined unit also necessitated overhauling her furnishings. Before, she was drawn to cozy, puffy “Pottery Barn-style” furniture. But in her new place, the cushy style didn’t quite work. “The pieces felt so oversized,” she says. Her interior designer helped her create a new collection of simple, angular pieces that complemented the strong lines of the space.

The experience inside of these modern units is a major draw, agrees JBG partner Kai Reynolds.

“We spend a lot of time thinking about looking from the inside out,” Reynolds says. “It looks good from the outside, but it looks really good from the inside.” SHILPI MALINOWSKI (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

TLC’s first album in 15 years is proof the R&B group is as strong as ever

ALBUM REVIEW TLC, the iconic ’90s-era R&B girl group, is back after 15 years away, and these women are not wasting any more time. “We don’t need no introduction,” they boast on “No Introduction,” the first song of their new self-titled CD, out Friday. “No, we don’t need no instructions/ We already paved the way.”

They’re right. There’s no doubting TLC’s impact and how important “No Scrubs,” “ Waterfa lls” a nd “Creep” “Creep were for a generation raised on the band’s mix of female empowerment and socially conscious lyrics.

T he rec ord is from t he

surviving members of the group: Tionne “T-Boz” Watk i ns a nd Ro zonda “Chilli” Thomas. Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes died in a 2002 car crash. The new album heartbreakingly includes an old recording of Lopes’ voice as an interlude, a fitting way to bring her into 2017.

“TLC,” which was funded in part through Kickstarter, is a kaleidoscope of different sounds and moods, befitting an album with some 20 different songwriters. It’s executive produced by Ron Fair, who has worked with Vanessa Carlton and

The timeless TLC Missy Elliott, who collaborated with TLC in the early 2000s, vouches for the enduring impact of the band’s music. “TLC gave us the whole package,” she recently told Billboard. “Classic songs that will transcend many generations.” TLC’s Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins agreed.

“To watch 5-year-olds at our concerts, singing all the words? It’s awesome,” Watkins said. (EXPRESS)

the Pussycat Dolls, and Watkins had a hand in almost every song.

It veers from the stripped-down acoustic nature of “Perfect Girls” — a sort of updated “Unpretty”

— to the R&B-flavored “Joy Ride.” There’s a techno-touched “Scandalous” and ’70s-disco boogie “It’s Sunny,” which cribs from Earth, Wind & Fire.

Watkins and Thomas look back a few times — they take a nostalgia tour with Snoop Dogg on “Way Back” that name-checks Prince and Marvin Gaye — and forward with the electro-poppy “Haters.” They get serious on the haunting protest song “American Gold.”

You want coherence? Well, it’s overrated. This is TLC, after all.

It’s just a joy to hear them again and to have it be with a new, strong, joyous album seems even better. MARK KENNEDY (AP)

Baldwin’s Trump gets another term on ‘SNL’ B

Alec Baldwin will be bringing b his impersonation of President Trump back to the “Saturday Night Live” stage next season, the th actor told CNN. “We’re going to fit that in. I think people have enjoyed it,” Baldwin said in an interview. in However, his packed schedule means that viewers won’t see him every week — he likened the th role he’ll play to “a couple celery sticks” instead of a “whole meal.” (THE WASHINGTON POST) Lorde earns first No. 1 album on Billboard 200 chart with sophomore record “Melodrama”

Many things are uncertain in this world, but one thing that’s proven is that the Haim sisters (aka the rock band HAIM) are so cool, even when dancing their corniest in the video for “Want You Back,” from their sophomore album (out July 7). What starts off as synchronized head bops while strutting down Ventura Boulevard turns into goofy skipping and arm waving that would be just embarrassing for anyone else.

Netflix shows don’t get a pass TELEVISION For years, Netflix was seen as the dream spot for TV shows: a seemingly unlimited budget (the streaming behemoth is projected to cough up $6 billion on content this year), and without the pressure of ratings. So even though you may have never heard of shows such as “Flaked” or “Haters Back Off,” it wasn’t surprising that they were renewed. However, that era of Netflix may be over.

The company confirmed Saturday that its dramedy

“Girlboss” — an adaptation of e-retailer entrepreneur Sophia Amoruso’s book — has been canceled after one season. It’s the third Netflix show in a month to get cut, following Baz Luhrmann’s musical drama “The Get Down” (one season) and Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s sci-fi series “Sense8” (two seasons).

Multiple outlets pointed to the “Girlboss” news as a real signal that Netflix is serious about trimming its original offerings. Last month, Netflix chief executive Reed Hastings told CNBC that “our hit ratio is way too high” right now: “We have to take more risks, you have to try more crazy things. Because we should have

AMC renews “Better Call Saul” for Season 4

“The Get Down”

NETFLIX PHOTOS

Sudden cancellations are signs the streaming giant is cracking down

a higher cancel rate overall.”

Many interpreted this as Hastings saying Netflix would crack down on shows that didn’t make a splash — as opposed to series such as “13 Reasons Why,” a drama about teen suicide that proved extremely controversial but earned worldwide headlines.

Antennas went up after last fall’s cancellation of “Bloodline.”

Critics were shocked to see Netflix end a show that not only had a star-studded cast (Kyle Chandler, Ben Mendelsohn) but also lots of awards attention. At the time, Vulture’s Josef Adalian noted that Netflix might have “entered a

new phase in its history” in which it wouldn’t just toss out money.

So, it looks like Netflix’s honeymoon may be over. If this slowly increasing list of cancellations is any indication, shows may need to step up their game, or be on the chopping block.

“The Accountant (W)2: little tax humor there for ya.” @DREWLAZOR, sharing a possible name

for the sequel to the 2016 film “The Accountant,” which starred Ben Affleck.

When Warner Bros. announced the sequel, fans of the movie weighed in with a seemingly endless supply of punny suggestions for the next film’s title. “Ben Affleck’s back ... to Balance the Books,” @ryanlambie tweeted. Twitter user @pattymo suggested calling it “THE ACCOUNTANT 2: This Time It’s Personal (Expenses),” and @WhitneyM02 weighed in with: “THE ACCOUNTANT 2: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.”

@HANESCOMFORT152, tweeting about Jake the Diamond

Dog, who got a lot of attention for helping out during the Fort Wayne TinCaps minor league baseball game Monday in Fort Wayne, Ind. It wasn’t the first rodeo for the dog, who travels around the country doing his thing at baseball games.

According to his Facebook, the multi-talented dog can deliver the game ball to the pitcher, shag foul balls, take water to the umps, play batboy and catch Frisbees. Jake is a favorite among fans in the stands and online. “I would go to a baseball game if this dog was there,” icecreamandwizards wrote on Instagram.

“I’m not gonna lie, that Drake and Will Ferrell handshake video has had me laughing all morning.”

@JSWATZ, tweeting at anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist, who shared an anecdote on Twitter called “How Republicans are born.” He described how his 8-year-old daughter, who had saved up to buy a $35 guitar, was unprepared for the total cost because she did not know about sales tax. Norquist was promptly roasted on Twitter. “I assume you explained to her that she knows math because of school, which is ... funded by taxes,” @TheDweck wrote.

@VIC_RODRIGUEZ7, tweeting about the Drake and Will Ferrell handshake skit from the inaugural NBA Awards.

The pair — with Ferrell, right, playing an NBA coach and Drake playing a handshake specialist — showed off prolevel handshakes such as “The Jenga,” “The Prom,” above, and the “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” “If ... your handshake sucks, we will trade you,” Ferrell warned the NBA players, while Drake, a Toronto Raptors fan, heckled their star, DeMar DeRozan.

TODAY: Mostly sunny skies with very comfortable temperatures that top out in the lower to middle 80s. The key ingredient is the low humidity again and light breezes.

While we expect a fairly pleasant evening and overnight — with temperatures falling into the lower 60s — summery humidity begins its gradual return.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may have to wait your turn, which means you’ll have ample time to figure out what you’re going to do next.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You don’t have to beg for what you want; simply ask for it. Those in charge are predisposed to satisfy your needs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) What

goes on behind closed doors must stay behind closed doors, lest you invite undue and unfair criticism.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can’t provide everything that is needed by those around you, but you can certainly help them help themselves in concrete ways.

ROMANCE

We wouldn’t brag about a date in an RV, either Just two months after Sienna Miller denied rumors that she and Brad Pitt are dating, the two have been spotted out together once again.

In her Vanity Fair cover story, Serena Williams said she will return to tennis as early as January after she gives birth to her first child with fiance Alexis Ohanian this fall. “I don’t think my story is over yet,” she said. She also revealed that she learned she was pregnant just days before she won the Australian Open this winter. Meanwhile, on Monday, Williams responded to former tennis pro John McEnroe, who told NPR that if she competed against men, she would be ranked “like 700 in the world.” Williams tweeted, “Respect me and my privacy as I’m trying to have a baby.” (EXPRESS)
