Attendance on Wednesdays in April averaged 8,550 visitors, according to the Smithsonian, significantly higher than the average Tuesday attendance that month.

Hernandez said the museum will analyze the visitor data from September before making a permanent decision. The museum welcomed 733,000 visitors over 3½ months in 2016, and 2.4 million in 2017. It will probably exceed that figure this year.

NATIONAL MALL It appears the end is in sight for timed passes to Washington’s hottest museum.

Two years after its starstudded opening, the National Museum of African American History and Culture will not require timed passes for visitors on weekdays in September. The monthlong reprieve serves as a test for the future, officials said.

Weekend visitors will still need to have the free timed passes.

The museum has welcomed more than 4.5 million visitors since it opened on Sept. 24, 2016, including 1.5 million in the first half of this year. The passes — distributed online in advance and for same-day use — have been used to limit lines to enter, control crowds in the galleries and provide a better museum experience.

White nationalist agrees to discourage weapons

A race to save bat population A mysterious disease is killing the mammals scientists seek to save QUANTICO, VA. When the sun sets and nearby Marines wind down for the evening, Sam Freeze suits up and goes bat hunting.

Six nights a week in the summer, the doctoral student at Virginia Tech tromps through the woods at Marine Corps Base Quantico in search of northern long-eared bats — a species nearly wiped out by a mysterious disease in recent years.

Between May and August, Freeze might catch fewer than 10 northerns at his arboreal outpost just off I-95. Pseudogymnoascus destructans, a fungus that causes the fatal illness known as whitenose syndrome, has killed more than 90 percent of these bats in

some parts of North America, making the nocturnal animal hard to find.

Researchers want to stop the bat apocalypse by locating them and reverse-engineering how they survived. Amid the species devastation, the search for northern long-eared bats in the Washington area can lead to two places where some have survived: Quantico in Virginia and Rock Creek Park in the District.

“We have to understand what we need to protect,” Freeze said.

This is no small undertaking.

Searching for northern longeared bats in a forest near the Marine base requires the cooperation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, Virginia Tech, Quantico and Prince William County.

After the bureaucracy comes

the gear. Freeze’s team hangs several “mist nets,” which look like extra-large volleyball nets rising more than a dozen feet in the air.

Researchers record the weight and gender of the animals and take fecal samples to determine their diet. The bats are tagged with small transmitters — affixed to their backs with surgical glue at $200 a pop — as they try to bite the hands of the scientists who want to help them.

Since the winter of 2007-08, millions of bats in 32 states and seven Canadian provinces have died from white-nose syndrome, reports the U.S. Geological Survey.

“I have literally seen this species decline before my very eyes,” said Mark Ford, a Virginia Tech professor who oversees Freeze’s bat research.

Ford, who has studied northern long-eared bats for two

decades, said he remembers a time when he would catch dozens during mist-netting sessions.

Those days are gone.

White-nose began to strike more than a decade ago, Ford said, originating in Europe and Asia. Eating away at the membranes in their wings, the disease left piles of dead bats marked with telltale white dots in caves where they hibernate.

The challenge for researchers is to determine why and where they have survived, and what humans can do to help them along.

“We have to put the bats in the context of the landscape,” Ford said. “We have to conserve or build that environment.”

One can even learn to love bats, he said. Freeze is already there.

“The first time I had a little squirming furry monster in my hand, I was hooked,” he said.

Metro looks to sell downtown offices

MARYLAND

MVA official apologizes over voting mishaps

Transit agency says sale could save $130 million over next two decades

D.C. region in the midst of a ‘flash drought’

save more than $130 million in operating and capital expenses over the next two decades.

On Thursday, most board members said they agreed that selling — rather than renovating the existing headquarters — was ultimately the best approach.

“It would be disastrous to try to renovate this building.

It would be nonsensical,” said Corbett Price, a member of the Metro board.

Moreover, Price said, trying to carry on with Metro’s busi ness wh i le overh au l ing the insides of the building would be “catastrophic.”

Remember May and June, and all of the torrential rain? That’s over now.

Seemingly overnight, two months of oftenunfathomable rainfall ceded to sunny, hot days and parched lawns. Since June 27, the last day of rain, Washington has received zero measurable precipitation. That’s 14 days in a row, and it’s really strange — especially since the season that’s supposed to deliver usual afternoon showers is not yet over.

Getting technical, D.C. is in a flash drought — a short period of hot temperatures and rapidly decreasing soil moisture. Not only has it not rained for two weeks, temperatures soared into the upper 90s in early July. So, while it hasn’t rained, heat has also been leaching moisture from the ground at the same time.

TRANSPORTATION Metro will seek to sell its hulking headquarters in downtown D.C. and decamp to smaller office spaces in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, following a vote Thursday

by Metro’s board of directors.

The Jackson Graham Building, a brutalist behemoth on Fifth Street Northwest adjacent to the Capital One Arena, has served as Metro’s headquarters since 1974.

Now, Metro officials say, the building’s infrastructural systems have become outdated, decrepit, and in need of costly repair. Metro officials say it makes more financial sense to sell the building, cash in on the prime real estate, and buy smaller digs in D.C., Virginia and Maryland.

On Thursday, the Metro board gave the transit agency the official OK to start pursuing buyers for the building and to launch the search for new office spaces.

“We are at a critical point. This building has major systems that are 45 years old, and are at the end of their useful lives,” said Nina Albert, managing director of real estate and parking at Metro.

Valuations of the building conducted in 2016 suggest that the property could be worth $56 to $132 million

WEATHER

The Jackson Graham Building in D.C. has served as Metro’s headquarters since 1974. Officials say it is now in disrepair and in need of costly fixes.

The idea of selling the Jackson Graham Building has been floated for years, but Albert said the hastening deterioration of the edifice means that the transit agency must take action now.

The building is in urgent need of costly plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electrical repairs. And because the building has been grandfathered under older regulations, it doesn’t meet modern standards for fire safety — there is no sprinkler system, for example — nor does it meet public accommodations regulations for people with disabilities.

Embattled FBI agent clashes with lawmakers

U.N. REPORT

A third of fish reeled in are going to waste

WASHINGTON An FBI agent whose anti-Trump text messages fueled suspicions of partisan bias said at a fiery and occasionally chaotic hearing in Congress on Thursday that his work has never been tainted by politics, angrily rejecting Republican allegations that he set out to stop Donald Trump from becoming president.

Peter Strzok testified publicly for the first time since being removed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, telling lawmakers that texts he traded with an FBI lawyer in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election reflected personal views that he never once acted on.

The hearing brought a defiant Strzok face-to-face with Republican lawmakers who for months have held up his texts as the embodiment of anti-Trump bias within the FBI. In breaking his months-long silence, Strzok vigorously defended his handling of two hugely sensitive investigations in which he played a leading role: inquiries into Hillary Clinton’s email use and possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

He insisted the FBI had good cause two years ago to start investigating whether the Trump campaign was working with the

Strzok says anti-Trump texts had no bearing on role in investigations

FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok on Thursday defends his role in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign.

Kremlin amid allegations of what he described as a Russian offer of assistance to a Trump campaign associate.

Strzok insisted under aggressive questioning that a muchdiscussed August 2016 text in which he said “We’ll stop” a Trump presidency followed Trump’s denigration of the family of a dead U.S. service member.

He said the text reflected his belief that the American public would not stomach such “horrible, disgusting behavior” by the Republican presidential candidate.

But, he added in a raised voice, “It was in no way, unequivocally, any suggestion that me, the FBI, would take any action whatsoever to improperly impact the electoral process for any candidate.”

Plus, he said, both investigations were handled by large teams. “They would not tolerate any improper behavior in me anymore than I would tolerate it in them,” Strzok said. “And the suggestion that I, in some dark chamber somewhere in the FBI, would somehow cast aside all of these procedures, all of these safeguards and somehow be able to do this is astounding to me. It simply couldn’t happen.”

In his opening statement, Strzok said he knew information during the campaign that could have damaged Trump but never contemplated leaking it, and that the focus on him by Congress plays into “our enemies’ campaign to tear America apart.” ERIC TUCKER

One in three fish that are reeled in from the ocean are not getting eaten, according to a report released this week from the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. Many fish caught around the world are either getting thrown back in the ocean or spoiling before they make it to our plates, The Guardian reported. Meanwhile, the report also found that fish production has reached a record high because of fish farming. More than half of the fish that people eat are now coming from fish farms, while the quantity of fish being captured in the wild has barely changed since the late 1980s, The Guardian said. (EXPRESS)

Pomp, protests in U.K. Trump is welcomed to England with a lavish ceremony — and mass demonstrations Trump praises NATO’s strength despite criticism

his commitment to the mutualdefense organization and sent the 29-member pact into frenzied emergency session.

Then, in a head-snapping pivot at the end, he declared the alliance a “fine-tuned machine” that had acceded to his demands to speed up increases in military spending to relieve pressure on the U.S. budget. But there was little evidence other leaders had bowed to his wishes on that front.

BRUSSELS NATO leaders pledged Thursday to stand united against foes like Russia despite a tumultuous summit that saw President Trump rip into his allies for failing to boost defense spending, casting a dark cloud over the world’s biggest security alliance.

A year after fueling doubts about whether Washington would defend allies who refuse to pay their fair share, Trump launched into the two-day summit in Brussels by berating Germany, among others.

Still, by the time it was over, he was ebullient, saying that European allies and Canada had “really stepped up their commitment” — and intimating that his relentless hectoring had forced other allies to spend more than NATO’s long-term goal of 2 percent of gross domestic product on defense.

“Now we’re very happy and have a very, very powerful, very, very strong NATO — much stronger than it was two days ago,” Trump declared after what he described as a “fantastic meeting.”

He was, however, short on details.

That’s because, despite the political rhetoric, Trump — like his other 28 allies — signed a summit communique that had been agreed to by their ambassadors last weekend, five days before the summit began. Not a word was changed, officials confirmed. LORNE COOK

Melania and Donald Trump and Theresa and Philip May attend an arrival ceremony Thursday at Blenheim Palace.

“I think they like me a lot in the U.K. I think they agree with me on immigration.”

LUCA BRUNO (AP)

OXFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND President Trump traded one hot spot for another Thursday, leaving behind a contentious NATO gathering in Brussels and moving on to Britain, where he found a government in turmoil and sizable protests shadowing his every move. All was serene, however, during a lavish evening welcome ceremony at Blenheim Palace.

Hundreds of demonstrators chanted outside the U.S. ambassador’s residence where Trump was staying on the outskirts of London, providing a preview of the forceful protests expected during his two-day British stay.

Trump was whisked away to an oasis of warm greetings at a black-tie reception at Blenheim, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, the larger-than-life British leader cited by the president as a model of leadership.

That was just one of several helicopter rides on the agenda for Trump, whose staff opted to keep him largely out of central London and the swarms of demonstrators who are likely to provide some of the defining images of his first official trip to the U.K. Trump’s Marine One departure from the ambassador’s residence was met by jeers from demonstrators banging pots and pans, and another pack of protesters lined roads near the palace. Their signs read: “Dump Trump,” “Lock Him Up” and “There Will Be Hell Toupee.” Police worked overtime, their days off canceled.

Trump was greeted at the palace by British Prime Minister Theresa May, whose government has been rocked by resignations from ongoing tumult over Brexit, the nation’s contentious vote to leave the European Union.

Before leaving Brussels, Trump played down the protests but acknowledged that he

expected tension in Britain.

“I’m going to a few hot spots,” Trump said, looking ahead to Britain and his summit in Finland on Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “And I said, ‘Putin may be the easiest of them all.’ You never know. But I’m going to a pretty hot spot right now — right? — with a lot of resignations.”

The outdoor arrival ceremony at Blenheim was a grand affair marked by a military band in bearskin hats, hundreds of business leaders in black tie and gorgeous setting sunlight.

The mood was far less jovial in Belgium earlier in the day.

Not all migrants reunited Nearly half of young children held deemed ineligible for reunions IMMIGRATION The Trump administration said Thursday all eligible small children separated from their families as a result of its zero-tolerance immigration policy have been reunited with their parents.

But nearly half of the children under 5 remain separated from their families.

The administration was under a court mandate to reunify

all families separated between early May and June 20.

Fifty-seven children had been reunified with their parents as of Thursday, officials said.

The officials said 46 of the children were not eligible to be reunited with their parents. A dozen parents had already been deported. Nine were in custody of the U.S. Marshals Service for other offenses, and one adult’s location was unknown, they said.

In 22 other cases, adults posed safety concerns, they said.

Of the deported parents, officials said they had chosen to

leave their children behind. But one deported father told the Los Angeles Times this week that he didn’t realize what he was doing when he signed the paperwork.

The 46 children will remain in the care of Health and Human Services, which will continue to seek to place them with a sponsor.

American Civil Liberties Union lawyers said that regardless of the reunifications, the government missed the courtordered deadline and they would be deciding how to address the noncompliance with the court.

Bristol Dry Gin Micro Distillery is apologizing for a line of vodka named after the nerve agent Novichok. The English distillery posted a photo of the drink — featuring 75 percent alcohol by volume — to Instagram on July 7, a day before 44-year-old Dawn Sturgess of Amesbury, England, died after being poisoned by Novichok on June 30. The company said the timing “may have lacked sensitivity� and ended production of the line, the Bristol Post reported. (EXPRESS)

‘New information’ leads U.S. to reopen Till case BIRMINGHAM, ALA. A year after a book on the brutal slaying of black teen Emmett Till revealed that a key figure in the case acknowledged lying, the federal government has reopened its investigation of the 1955 crime that helped build momentum for the civil rights movement.

A federal report sent annually to lawmakers said the Justice Department is reinvestigating Till’s slaying in Mississippi after receiving “new information.”

The report, issued in late March, doesn’t indicate what that information might be.

But the 2017 book “The Blood of Emmett Till,” by Timothy B. Tyson, quotes a white woman, Carolyn Donham, as saying during a 2008 interview that she wasn’t truthful when she testified that Till grabbed her, whistled and made sexual advances at a Mississippi store in 1955.

It’s unclear what new charges could result from a renewed investigation, said Tucker Carrington, a professor at the University of Mississippi law school.

He said conspiracy or murder charges could be filed if anyone still alive is shown to have been

PALEO DIET

Iceman dined on wild goat before he died Scientists have uncovered the last meal of a frozen hunter who died 5,300 years ago in the Alps. The stomach contents of the corpse, widely known as Otzi the Iceman, offer a snapshot of what ancient Europeans ate. On the menu, described Thursday in the journal Current Biology, were the fat and meat of a wild goat, meat of a red deer and whole wheat seeds. Though the researchers had previously examined Otzi’s intestines, this was the first time they were able to look into his stomach. Scientists next hope to reconstruct the composition of bacteria and other microorganisms that lived in the Iceman’s gut, and see how it differs from ours. (AP)

involved, but too much time likely has passed to prosecute anyone for other crimes, such as lying to investigators or in court. The case was closed in 2007 after authorities said the suspects were dead.

Two white men — Donham’s then-husband, Roy Bryant, and his half brother, J.W. Milam — were charged with murder but acquitted in the slaying of Chicago teen Till, who had been staying with relatives in Mississippi at the time. The men later confessed to the crime in a magazine interview but weren’t retried. Both are now dead. JAY REEVES (AP)

Papa John’s founder resigns after racial slur BUSINESS Papa John’s founder John Schnatter resigned as chairman of the company’s board late Wednesday, hours after apologizing for using the N-word during a May conference call.

Schnatter, a Trump donor who stepped down as his company’s CEO in January after he said that NFL player protests were hurting his pizza sales, was the subject of a news report in Forbes that documented his use of the slur.

“News reports attributing the use of inappropriate and hurtful language to me during a media training session regarding race are true,” Schnatter said.

“Regardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society.”

Hours later, Papa John’s said Schnatter had quit the board.

The MLB suspended its league-wide promotion with the company for fan discounts.

Forbes reported that Papa John’s executives were on a call with the marketing agency Laundry Service when Schnatter made the remark. The group was going through a role-playing exercise meant to better prepare for public relations challenges.

Schnatter was asked how he would separate himself from racist groups online and responded by “downplaying the significance of his NFL statement,” Forbes reported.

“Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s,” Schnatter reportedly said. ELI ROSENBERG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A new flame?

Mr. Likable needs to show some love There’s a moment in “Skyscraper” when Will Sawyer (Dwayne Johnson) is standing on an impossibly high building about to do an impossible thing.

“This is stupid,” he says.

He’s not wrong.

It’s not that anyone was expecting “Skyscraper” to be “Vertigo,” or even “Weekend at Bernie’s.” The plot is relatively simple: A developer in Hong Kong has built the tallest building in the world, one that looks at the Burj Khalifa and sniffs, “Hey there, shorty.”

Sawyer is a combat veteran and former FBI agent who lost the lower part of his left leg in the line of duty. He has a nice family (Neve Campbell, plus girl moppet and boy moppet). He’s called in to give the

building’s security systems one last once-over. There is so much foreshadowing, you should be able to catch it even if you’re standing in line for popcorn.

Of course, things go wrong, and Sawyer’s family gets trapped in the building while it’s on fire. But not to worry!

He’s really good at stuff like punching, jumping and defying the laws of physics as he tries to rescue them.

Most of the movie is amusing enough, and there is one genuinely gasp- and goosebumps-producing moment, after which you are free to go pee. Or, frankly, to just go. Basically, “Skyscraper” meets but never exceeds expectations.

And Dwayne Johnson is worth so much more.

Johnson consistently delivers the kind of performances

that must, by the code of film critics, be described as likable. And it works here; a less likable actor would have audiences rooting for the fire. He’s been the best part of a number of movies, including this year’s dumb and loud “Rampage” and last year’s surprisingly good “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.” He does his job well — better than well. It’s just that he keeps doing it over and over again.

Do I want to see Johnson perform King Lear? No. In “Skyscraper’s” dramatic moments he has the emotional depth of … well, not a puddle.

Let’s say a small creek.

But he needs to branch out, and he should look to the tree of romantic comedies. Not only because he’d be very good at them, but because he could (literally) shift the look of the genre. Plenty has been

written about how the women in rom-coms are almost overwhelmingly white and skinny — women who aren’t are either the sassy black friend or the sassy fat friend — but the men have a mold, too. They also tend to be white and cute; for every Billy Crystal in “When Harry Met Sally” there are 50 indistinguishable cute guys, 45 of whom are played by James Marsden.

A move to rom-coms would give Johnson something new to do, plus he’d loosen the tropes that have tied the genre down.

He’s been repeating himself — and will continue to do so, as his upcoming projects are almost entirely action films, like the utterly unnecessary “San Andreas 2: Shaking Boogaloo.”

(Yes, I made up the subtitle.)

Johnson has proven he can be a leading man; he just needs to scooch over and lead in a different way (just PICTURE a kooky dance scene). We know — and he knows — that he can bust through doors and windows and anything else you’ve got. Now it’s time for him to bust through into something new.

“West Side Story” revival headed to Broadway

Woody Harrelson and James Marsden play two reporters in the early 2000s who questioned the Bush administration’s claim that Saddam Hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction. While director Rob Reiner tries to infuse “Shock and Awe” with taut procedural drama, he just shows how difficult it is to make shoe-leather journalism entertaining, much less artful. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘The King’ R, 109 min.

Documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki holds up Elvis Presley as a prism through which he attempts to refract issues of racial, economic and class polarization. That’s a lot to pour into the vessel of Presley, who became an icon of — well, what exactly?

While “The King” never answers that question neatly, it asks it in ways that are never less than fascinating.

‘Thrones’ rules over Emmys The HBO drama edged ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ to lead all nominees

Latest ‘Hotel Transylvania’ goes overboard

HBO/HULU/BBC AMERICA/FX

TELEVISION “Game of Thrones” roared back onto the Emmy battlefield, topping Thursday’s nominations with 22 nods. But the HBO drama has a formidable opponent in last year’s winner, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” while a streaming platform made history by earning the most bids for the first time.

Netflix’s 112 nominations took away the front-runner title that HBO held since 2001, giving cable and broadcast networks more reason to fear their future with viewers as well as honors. HBO still claimed 108 nods, though, and “Game of Thrones” became the most-nominated series of all time, with its 129 bids topping the 124 nominations earned by “ER.” Other drama series contenders are “The Americans” — which also earned nods for stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys in its final season — “Westworld,” “The Crown,” “Stranger Things” and “This Is Us.” Donald Glover’s “Atlanta” was the top comedy series nominee with 16 nods, and the show could take advantage of the absence this time around of three-time winner “Veep.” “Atlanta” will face newcomers “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “GLOW” and “Barry.”

“Silicon Valley,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Black-ish” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” also are nominated. The newbie

Clockwise from top left, “Game of Thrones,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Killing Eve” and “Atlanta” all earned Emmy nods.

comedies pushed out “Modern Family,” a perennial nominee since it debuted in 2009 on ABC. “Killing Eve” star Sandra Oh made history of her own, becoming the first actress of Asian descent to be nominated for lead acting honors in a drama series.

CNN’s “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” received a nomination for best information series or special following the host’s death last month at age 61.

Among the notable first-time nominees: Darren Criss, Ricky Martin and Penelope Cruz for “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”; Tiffany Haddish for “Saturday Night Live”; and John Legend for “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in

Concert.” If Legend wins, he’ll join the rarified club of “EGOT” performers who’ve won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.

“SNL,” riding high with its relentless pillorying of the Trump administration, was rewarded with 21 nods.

Competing with Oh and Russell for lead drama actress are Elisabeth Moss for “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Claire Foy for “The Crown,” Tatiana Maslany for “Orphan Black” and Evan Rachel Wood for “Westworld.”

Rhys will contend for lead drama actor against Sterling K. Brown and Milo Ventimiglia for “This Is Us”; Jason Bateman for “Ozark”; and Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright for “Westworld.”

Glover’s competitors for best comedy series actor are Anthony Anderson for “Black-ish,” Ted Danson for “The Good Place,” Larry David for “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” William H. Macy for “Shameless” and Bill Hader for “Barry.”

The actresses competing for top comedy honors are Rachel Brosnahan for “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Issa Rae for “Insecure,” Tracee Ellis Ross for “Black-ish,” Allison Janney for “Mom,” Pamela Adlon for “Better Things” and Lily Tomlin for “Grace and Frankie.”

The ceremony airs Sept. 17 on NBC, with Colin Jost and Michael Che of “SNL” as co-hosts.

Deadline: Christina Applegate to star in Netflix comedy series “Dead to Me”

FILM REVIEW At the heart of the animated “Hotel Transylvania” movies lies an important message: Accept people for who they are, respect their differences and never judge a book by its cover. Or, as Count Dracula says in the voice of Adam Sandler: “Monster, human — what’s the difference?”

It’s a lovely thought. Why, then, is sitting through one of these movies almost as pleasant as being burned at the stake?

It didn’t have to be that way.

With “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation,” the franchise returns to the romantic-comedy formula, placing the widowed Dracula and his family on a cruise ship.

But Robert Smigel and Sandler have bowed out as writers, replaced by Michael McCullers and returning director Genndy Tartakovsky. The duo can only manage to generate filler, while Tartakovsky’s super-cartoonish animation is beginning to grate.

As he does in his live-action films, Sandler surrounds himself with a fun-loving crew, many of whom are his regulars: Kevin James and Fran Drescher play Frankenstein’s monster and his missus; Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon are Wayne and Wanda Werewolf. None of them can help much, though. In the end, the noisy humor and classic rock songs drown out whatever worthy messages “Hotel Transylvania 3” might offer.

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser helps D.C. United owners cut the ceremonial ribbon at Audi Field.

A dynasty in the District Washington has been tagged in the past as a city starving for titles, but D.C. United has won four championships, including the first MLS Cup.

spending more than $3 million to add U.S. national team midfielder Paul Arriola. And the team made its biggest splash of all last month, signing English superstar Wayne Rooney to a deal worth $13 million for the remainder of this year and two more full seasons.

“We’re moving in the right direction,” Birnbaum said. “That’s all that you can ask as players — to have your owners and coaches wanting to make that push forward.”

United also plans to relocate its day-to-day operations next year from RFK to a new facility in

Loudoun County. The proposed complex — which will service the first team, the youth academy and a second-division affiliate — represents another pillar for the club’s long-term ambitions.

“We want to keep the momentum going for, I’ll say, the next 10, 15, 20 years,” Hunt said. “This is the start of something special. … We want to be a top-five team in Major League Soccer from a business standpoint, and we’re well on our way to being there.”

Since co-owners Levien and Erick Thohir invested in the club in 2012, United has made the postseason four of six years but advanced to a second playoff series just once in that time. Coming off a last-place finish in 2017, D.C. is last in the Eastern Conference with a 2-7-5 record in a road-heavy first half of the season.

To Ben Olsen, the eighth-year coach who also spent 12 seasons with United as a player, a new era ushers in raised standards.

“It’s due time,” Olsen said.

“The pocketbook is opening up a little bit, and I think we’ve all been waiting for it — whether it’s fans, whether it’s journalists, whether it’s people that have been around a long time, whether you’ve been here for two years.

It’s time to take this club to the next level.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

FANS’ GUIDE

AP AND GETTY IMAGES

D.C. UNITED There was a ti me when D.C. United was considered the model MLS franchise. In this bygone era, the roster was stacked, the home venue was raucous and the club was winning championship after championship.

But after claiming MLS Cup titles in 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2004, United stagnated. RFK Stadium, once among the league’s marquee venues and a frequent home to the U.S. national team, saw its rickety charms turn to annoyances. Rust spread, paint chipped away and various vermin — raccoons, feral cats and the like — took up residence.

As teams across MLS opened their own state-of-the-art facilities, United continued to pay rent at a crumbling relic devoid of revenue-generating amenities.

Attendance dwindled, and the club had to cut costs.

“As great as RFK was for soccer, not only in this region but in the country — the nostalgia, the history, the tradition — it obviously was an archaic building,” said Tom Hunt, United’s president of business operations.

“You couldn’t have a sustainable business.”

After a decade-plus search for a new home, United secured approval in December 2014 to build a 20,000-seat stadium on the Southwest Waterfront, about four blocks from Nationals Park.

When Audi Field opens Saturday with a match between D.C. and the Vancouver Whitecaps, the original MLS powerhouse will finally step into a new age.

“Our fans have had a healthy dose of skepticism about the organization because we couldn’t get out of RFK fast enough, because we couldn’t build the kind of roster we wanted to build,” co-owner Jason Levien said. “I think it’s fair for them to have those questions, and we want to deliver for them.”

That roster already is reaping the benefits. The club opened the checkbook to secure its core a year and a half ago, inking defender Steve Birnbaum and midfielder Luciano Acosta to new deals. United then broke its transfer record last summer,

Stadium food, transportation and tailgating For D.C. United’s faithful, a new stadium raises several questions: How do we get there? What can we eat?

And where do we tailgate?

RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

Food D.C. chef Jose Andres, above, is curating the food options along with concessions company Levy.

Stadium standards like chicken tenders and half-smokes will join upscale options including a chicken confit sandwich, gourmet tacos and draft cocktails. Fans of RFK Stadium’s pupusas can rest easy: Factoria Maria Pupuseria will still serve their savory corn pockets.

Transportation If you’re driving, the team says there are about 3,700 nearby parking spots, which can be reserved via SpotHero. The closest Metro station is Navy Yard, about a 10 minute walk. For cyclists, Two Wheel Valet offers free bike valet services for every game. And, if you prefer boats, The Wharf’s water taxi will drop you off at Transit Pier, more than a mile from the stadium.

Tailgating D.C. United’s official supporters club, the Screaming Eagles, will host tailgates two blocks from Audi Field at Matthew Henson Earth Conservation Center.

Screaming Eagles members get free drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) at the tailgates; non-members can purchase a $15 tailgate pass per game for unlimited beverages.

With Wayne, party on

SALWAN GEORGES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

English superstar Wayne Rooney, 32, signed a $13 million deal to play in D.C. through 2020.

D.C. UNITED Few athletes can say they’ve climbed to the heights of global superstardom that Wayne Rooney has reached.

The newly signed D.C. United forward is the all-time leading scorer for both Manchester United and the England national team. He’s won five English Premier League titles, claimed a UEFA Champions League crown and played in three World Cups.

His 16.8 million Twitter followers are three times as many as Alex Ovechkin, John Wall and Bryce Harper — combined.

But for a figure famous in seemingly every corner of the world, Rooney hasn’t been one for wanderlust. Until last month, he had spent his entire career at

two clubs — his childhood team, Everton, and Manchester United.

In fact, he’s never lived beyond a 35-mile stretch in northwest England.

“It’s a big challenge to come here,” Rooney said of D.C. United. “Obviously I moved to Manchester United from Everton when I was 18, but that was 30 minutes away from where I grew up. So it was a move for my club, but it wasn’t really a move [from] home — I still had family around.

“This,” he added, “is a real move.”

After 16 seasons in the elite English league, Rooney, 32, signed with D.C. United on a two-and-a-half-year deal worth around $13 million. Although

MANDEL NGAN (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

Rooney’s move from England provides D.C. a major draw to go with its new digs

D.C. United believes Wayne Rooney’s winning habits will be contagious.

United has counted myriad MLS legends among its ranks, the club has never been one to contend for transcendent stars. But when Erick Thohir and Jason Levien

invested in United in 2012, the co-owners privately shared a vision of luring a big-money attraction whenever a soccer-specific stadium came into the picture.

That pairing ultimately came together with uncanny synergy, as Rooney is poised to make his MLS debut Saturday when D.C. United opens Audi Field against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

“He’s a competitor, and he’s going to raise the level of each player because he’s used to winning and he’s used to playing at the highest levels,” D.C. coach Ben Olsen said. “When you bring that type of influence within your group, others around him will elevate their games and their mentality.”

Players of Rooney’s stature have typically favored bigbudget franchises in New York or Los Angeles when coming to MLS. But after playing in matches across the U.S. as part of Manchester United’s preseason tours over the years, the Liverpool native decided the comparably modest Washington setting was a better fit for him, his wife and their three children.

“I’ve been to places like L.A. and New York, and it’s too hectic,” Rooney said. “It’s like London. For me, I’ve never fancied going to live in London. I need me own space to get away from things when I need to, and Washington seemed to give that opportunity.”

Off the field, there’s little doubt of Rooney’s marketability.

With Baltimore and Washington finishing as the top two markets for Premier League ratings on the NBC family of networks this past season, United officials are confident Rooney’s presence will help reach local soccer fans who have preferred European leagues over MLS. On the field, Rooney is renowned for his leadership, vision and world-class finishing. Now, he must tackle the perception that he’s an aging star in a league that has increasingly shifted toward attracting younger talent.

“This is definitely not a retirement move for Wayne,” D.C. United general manager Dave Kasper said. “He made that clear from day one. He’s not here to be on late-night talk shows in L.A. — he wants to raise trophies for this club. That was a big comfort for us.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

New core more than just Rooney Wayne Rooney’s arrival in the nation’s capital last month served as a statement of intent for D.C. United. After 22 MLS campaigns, the opening of Audi Field has finally given the franchise enough financial heft to sign such a star. But Rooney was just the flashiest piece of the puzzle as the D.C. front office identified players who could carry the club into a new era. Over the past year and a half, United has built a core — locking down its stalwarts and splashing the cash on enticing newcomers. THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS) Luciano Acosta

Paul Arriola

Yamil Asad

Steve Birnbaum

The midfielder, left, initially joined United from Argentine powerhouse Boca Juniors on loan for the 2016 season, and D.C. made the move permanent the subsequent offseason. At 5 feet 3 inches, the 24-year-old uses his pace and trickery on the ball to make up for a lack of size. With nine goals and 23 assists over 75 matches with United, Acosta has posted impressive numbers for an attacking centerpiece whose supporting cast has left plenty to be desired.

Before United broke the bank for Rooney, Arriola was the biggest investment in club history — acquired in a $3 million deal from Mexico’s Club Tijuana last summer.

A U.S. national team midfielder with a nonstop motor, he made his name as a winger but has recently found a groove since switching to a central role. Arriola, 23, has six assists this year, second on the team to Acosta, and the Southern California native also has shown a flair for spectacular finishes since joining United.

A key cog in Atlanta United’s prolific attack last season, Asad proved to be the odd man out as that club navigated the salary cap. Enter D.C., which worked hard to add the 23-year-old winger — negotiating a loan with his Argentine parent club, Velez, and striking a deal with Atlanta to acquire his MLS rights.

Asad hasn’t disappointed, equalling his seven goals from all of last season over just 14 matches with D.C., which has an option to sign him permanently at season’s end.

The No. 2 overall pick out of California in the 2014 MLS draft, Birnbaum has developed into the constant for an overhauled D.C. back line. Dominant in the air, the 27-year-old center back earned MLS All-Star honors in 2016 and played his way into the U.S. national team picture. Birnbaum, who reportedly signed a three-year contract ahead of the 2017 season with a team-held option for 2020, has regularly worn the captain’s armband in Washington.

ONE WIN TO GO

Williams eyes 24th major crown

CROATIA VS. FRANCE | 11 A.M. SUNDAY, FOX

Comfortable underdog

War-torn history, legacy of athletic success makes Croats unafraid of favored French WORLD CUP FINAL A billion-dollar assembly of stars makes France the favorite for the World Cup final, a scenario that Croatia defender Dejan Lovren is pitching as perfect for his nation’s biggest match ever.

“We love to be the underdogs,” Lovren said after Croatia’s 2-1 extra-time win over England.

With a population of 4.3 million and a history of struggle, it’s easy to see why. Not since Uruguay’s win in 1950 has a country with so few people reached the final.

The players on this roster were born around the time an independent Croatia emerged from wars which divided the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. Lovren and star midfielder Luka Modric

were refugees as children.

Croatia still struggles economically and its football scene has been riven with hooliganism, crime and politics. It’s a country that breeds toughness.

The key to Croatia’s success, Lovren said, is “Our mentality.”

“War, all these things and even now the situation is not the best,” he said. “It’s unbelievable how many talents we have in sports.”

The Balkan nation is a veritable talent factory in many sports.

There’s the former U.S. Open tennis champion Marin Cilic, a raft of current and ex-NBA players and Olympic champions in skiing, discus and water polo.

Most of all, Croatia is an export market for quality footballers,

Start of a dynasty?

It’s good the French make so much Champagne, because they have the potential to be bathing in the stuff for years. Les Bleus have heaps of talented attackers and a defense that defanged Belgium, the World Cup’s most prolific offense, in a 1-0 semifinal. The average age of France’s starters in that match was 26. Kylian Mbappe is just 19. Think of how good he’ll be at age 21 in the European Championship. (AP)

with representatives on Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.

Until now, Croatia’s greatest moment on the football pitch was reaching the World Cup semis in

1998 in the country’s major debut after becoming independent.

Stars of that team remain household names in Croatia, including football federation president and ex-Real Madrid striker Davor Suker. After the latest win over Russia, Suker said he’d be delighted if Modric replaced him as Croatia’s greatest player of all time. Instead, he said, “I’ll be the greatest president!”

Now Lovren and Croatia are creating a narrative beyond anything they experienced as kids, when the national team suffered a semifinal loss to France.

“After 20 years people will remember us [for more than] ’98 — and this is what I wanted,” Lovren said. JAMES ELLINGWORTH (AP)

Serena Williams said she, for one, was impressed by her latest accomplishment. It was only about 10 months ago that she had a baby and then dealt with a serious scare with blood clots. On Thursday, after beating Julia Goerges 6-2, 6-4 to earn a spot in her 10th Wimbledon final — and 30th title match in any major — Williams said she didn’t take the moment for granted.

“A lot of people were saying, ‘Oh, she should be in the final,’ ” said Williams, 36. “For me it’s such a pleasure and a joy because, you know, less than a year ago, I was going through so much stuff.” A win over Angelique Kerber on Saturday (9 a.m., ESPN) would give Williams a record-tying 24 major championships.

Silly, yet serious softball ALL-STAR SUNDAY Last year at Marlins Park, with her cleats planted in center field, Jessica Mendoza lived a moment that had only felt possible in her childhood daydreams. Her career had taken her many remarkable places — the Women’s College World Series with Stanford; Olympic Games in Athens and Beijing with Team USA; the “Sunday Night Baseball” broadcasting booth with ESPN — but she had never stumbled into an experience at once so nostalgic and surreal as the one she found at baseball’s All-Star Sunday.

As the captain of the AL team at the 2017 Legends & Celebrity Softball Game in Miami, Mendoza was wearing the same ocean-blue jersey as nine-time All-Star Fred Lynn, a former batting champion who won both American League MVP and Rookie of the Year honors with Boston in 1975. Not only was Lynn, a player Mendoza idolized as a child, setting up in rightcenter next to her, but he was calling her over to discuss how they should play different hitters in the field. She felt like she’d just been called up to the big leagues.

“For a moment, this is like what it was like to play for the Red Sox,” Mendoza said last week. “This is really cool, Fred Lynn telling me exactly how we’re going to play the outfield. Every out mattered.

That to me is just the essence of the game, the person that just loves the game.”

Mendoza will be back at this year’s Legends & Celebrity game, which will follow the Futures Game on Sunday at Nationals Park. She will join a lineup of stars that includes Wizards point guard John Wall, Redskins cornerback Josh Norman and Bill Nye the Science Guy. ESPN will show the game Monday night.

WASHINGTON POST, ESPN AND GETTY IMAGES

Legends & Celebrity game brings out fandom in big shots, stokes competitive fires

Sunday’s celebrity softball game at Nationals Park will include, clockwise from top left, Wizards point guard John Wall, Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, Bill Nye the Science Guy and ESPN analyst Jessica Mendoza.

It’s important to Medoza to join her former Olympic teammate Jennie Finch, who captained the National League squad last year and will play Sunday, in representing women who can hold their own in the competition.

Among the legends and celebrities, Mendoza said, there are two types of personalities: competitors and goofballs. At last year’s exhibition, the atmosphere was equal parts intense and lighthearted.

There was Lynn doing his outfield calculus, but there was also Pro

Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor attempting to tackle baseball Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson after a home run.

Mendoza was equally starstruck elsewhere in the outfield, where Jamie Foxx — a three-tool standout as a stand-up comic, Oscar-winning actor and Grammywinning R&B singer — patrolled.

Foxx had game, but he would also pause to yuk it up with fans. He is slated to play again this year.

Organizers for the game determine the lineups, and everyone

Amid abuse scandal, USOC hires U.S. Golf Association executive Sarah Hirshland as CEO

gets a chance to play, so captains are spared the potentially ego-bruising managerial task of selecting a No. 9 hitter. But captains do retain the right to give pitchers the hook.

That led to an infamous moment 10 years ago at old Yankee Stadium. Mike Greenberg was managing against his old ESPN radio partner Mike Golic. Greenberg, a New York native whose parents were raised in the Bronx, drew the ire of the crowd in the bottom of the sixth inning. Wade Boggs, who made four of his 12 All-Star teams with the Yankees, was up to bat, and Greenberg called for an intentional walk.

“I got booed so loudly it was just astonishing,” Greenberg said. “But we won the game.”

That decision, Greenberg insisted, was not a product of taking the game too seriously. Yes, he wanted to win. But he also wanted to troll Golic.

“I would never have [done that] if I didn’t think it was funny,” he said.

From Greenberg’s perspective, the point of the game is to enjoy the experience and to entertain the crowd. By that philosophy, corkscrewing the ground on a failed fielding attempt is just as valuable as a bases-clearing double.

Greenberg’s own goal, he remembered, was not even to get a hit. He didn’t undergo any extra training to play in the game. His recreational softball experience was good enough for him. He just wanted to make an out to a legend, not a celebrity. Getting thrown out by Paul Molitor would have been pretty cool, but that’s not what happened in the two at-bats he remembers: “I lined out to a Backstreet Boy and I grounded out to Billy Crystal.”

he number of people, especially millennials, who are choosing to live with multiple roommates is rising. Part of this can be attributeG to ȴnancial reasons, including the high cost of houses, slow wage growth, and student loans. Part of it can also be attributed to a shift in priorities and ideals. A lot of millennials are embracing travel and experiences, and let’s face it, these things cost money.

If you increase the number of roommates you have, then the cost of your monthly rent will decrease.

Housing expenses take up a huge chunk of the money that we take home. This can encourage or even force us to seek more roommates in order to save money, but how many roommates is too many" :hen it comes to making the ȴnal decision about how many roommates to have, it’s important to answer these three questions.

HOW MANY ROOMS ARE IN THE APARTMENT?

In an ideal world, most people would rather have their own space, so it’s important to make sure that you have one room per person. While you can totally have more than one person in a room (especially if you’re a couple), sharing rooms can be tricky. If you need to save money, then it’s not a horrible solution, and there are plenty of creative ways to separate living spaces. Really, you’ll have to consider the next two questions as well to determine whether or not you are willing to give up your own room.

WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL NUMBER?

For some, having zero roommates is ideal. Others dream of having a life like the characters in Friends or The New Girl. Consider your ideal number of roommates, but keep in mind that this number could change if you and your potential roommate(s) decide to go with a bigger or smaller apartment.

WHAT WILL YOUR BUDGET ALLOW?

6ome of us might love to live in a one bedroom or even two bedroom apartment without any roommates, but is that really something you can a΍ord to do" /iving alone, especially if you’re Must starting out, can be diɝcult. <ou’ll want to keep in mind not only what you can a΍ord, but what tradeo΍s you might have to make to live alone. Is it worth having your own space if you won’t be able to travel or save up money for retirement? Is it worth being able to dance around your entire apartment carefree if you’re going to have to eat ramen every day? Adding a roommate or two can really lighten the ȴnancial load and allow you to breathe a little bit. That being said, if you know that having roommates will stress you out, and you know that you can a΍ord to live on your own, then go for it.

When it comes to deciding how many roommates is too many, you really have to look at all three of these questions together. Space constraints, managing relationships, and money are all stressors, so you have to ȴnd a balance that works for you. Q

“If I ever post [an] ‘Ask me a question’ on Insta feel free to hit me with your car.” @KYRADETRIANA, commenting on Instagram’s latest feature. Users can ask and respond to questions from their followers in Instagram Stories. They can see who asked a certain question, then publicly share their response, with the identity of the person who asked the question remaining anonymous. Users are complaining that their feeds are now clogged with endless question requests.

“My guess? Like every other man on the planet, he probably is painfully and devastatingly bored by gender reveals.” @CARTER_SHADE, tweeting about Boston Celtics forward

Gordon Hayward’s seemingly disappointed reaction to finding out he and his wife are expecting their third daughter. An Instagram video shows Hayward, his wife and daughters opening up a box to reveal pink balloons. Hayward looks demure, but insists to his wife he’s “happy.” His expression had Twitter wondering if the Celtics star was hoping for a boy.

“Remember Kiwi & his goth gf? Well now she’s his goth wife and they have 4 beautiful half-goth babies.” @PAINTHANDS, tweeting an update on

her (literal) lovebirds Siouxsie, middle, and Kiwi, right. The pair went viral last September when @painthands showed the world she had gotten Siouxsie as a companion to Kiwi. The two welcomed their pastel-hued babies in June.

Twitter users following the avian family were overjoyed with the news.

Sudoku

DIFFICULT

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You must be willing to do more than you are asked today, as the challenges you now face require that you go above and beyond right now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can turn a game into something much more serious — but is that really what you want? You don’t want to change things too drastically.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are pitted against someone who knows better than most how you think — and what you may do in response to any perceived challenge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may find that you are more a part of a current endeavor than you had expected. The team you are working with brings out your best.

THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You

may be forced to make a change that you do not want to make — but by day’s end you’ll realize that this may actually be an improvement.

THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are in a very good personal space at this time, and you are able to see the best in almost everyone you encounter — including a rival.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You don’t want to reveal too much too soon today. Say only what you mean to say, and what you have to say according to the rules.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A pattern of ill-advised behavior can be broken today — but only with the help of a good friend. You are tested in some way after dark.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You

are eager to follow someone down an unfamiliar path, confident that you will be led into an adventure from which you can benefit greatly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You don’t want to be where the action is today — but you may want to remain within sight of the main event.

Arrange things accordingly.

DIFFICULT

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles.

A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.

people ARRESTS

Lawyer able to return to more pressing issues

Assistants are the best fraud protection Federal prosecutors are going after a man named David Matthew Read for allegedly stealing Demi Moore’s credit card and spending almost $170,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue and various Nordstrom locations, Page Six reported. Read allegedly reported Moore’s card missing in March, got a new card issued and then went on the spending spree.

Moore’s assistant flagged the questionable activity, which led to the arrest. Read was set to appear in court Friday. (EXPRESS)

Charges were dropped Thursday against porn actress Stormy Daniels, just hours after she was arrested while performing at a Columbus, Ohio, strip club. She was accused of illegally rubbing her bare breasts against police officers during a performance, in violation of a state law. Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, said she was set up in a sting operation, something police deny.

Prosecutors dropped the charges, saying the Ohio illegal touching law was written to apply to those who appear regularly at a club, and it was Daniels’ first appearance. Daniels is suing President Trump, and says the two had sex in 2006. (AP)

Henry Cavill apologized Thursday in a statement to Page Six for comments he made to GQ Australia about dating in the #MeToo era. Cavill told GQ that it’s difficult to talk to women “because I’m going to be called a rapist or something.”

The actor later apologized for the “confusion and misunderstanding,” and said he looks forward to clarifying his position. (EXPRESS)
