MISUNDERSTANDINGS

Man Intended to Pay For It, Honest, Right After He Got Out Police in Kentucky say they got a surprise delivery after charging a man with shoplifting — five pizzas showed up at the station. Officers say 29-year-old Michael Harp asked to make a call Tuesday while being booked. A short time later, police say, a pizza delivery driver showed up to deliver to “Officer Wilson,” the name of the officer who arrested Harp. Police say they linked the call to Harp by tracking his cellphone number. Harp now faces additional charges. (AP) LIKELY HIDING SPOTS

Calif. Bank Robbery Turns Deadly CRAIG SANDERS (THE RECORD/AP)

Suspects took three hostages in hourlong chase with police Stockton, Calif.

Good Deeds Punished A Southern California couple who scaled back watering due to drought received a letter from the city of Glendora warning they could face fines if they don’t get their brown lawn green again. The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports the letter says the dry grass could be a “potential public nuisance problem.” (AP)

Microsoft to Lay Off Thousands Los Angeles Microsoft announced the biggest layoffs in its history Thursday, saying it will cut up to 18,000 jobs as it streamlines its Nokia mobile device business to focus on using the Windows Phone operating system. Although the job cuts were expected, the extent of the eliminations is a surprise, amounting to 14 percent of the company’s workforce. It’s CEO Satya Nadella’s boldest move since taking the reins from Steve Ballmer in February. Ballmer announced the Nokia acquisition last September, a month after he announced that he would resign. In a public email to employees

Misty Holt-Singh had just popped into the bank Wednesday, leaving her 12-year-old daughter in the car, when the horror began. An hour later, the mother of two lay dead in the street after a bank robbery spun into a chaotic police chase and furious gunbattle in which two holdup men were also killed. Holt-Singh was shot to death as one of the robbers hid behind her, using her as a shield against police gunﬁre, authorities said. Whose bullets killed Holt-Singh is unclear, but police said the ultimate responsibility rests with the three bank robbers, who authorities said weren’t just after cash — they wanted to kill people. “In my over two decades of law

in 14 police cars, an armored vehicle, citizens’ cars, homes and businesses — the litter left behind by the drama Wednesday Ramos that began when the gunmen held up a Bank of the West branch in Stockton and took three women hostage as they made their getaway. San Joaquin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Ronald Freitas said the robbers intended to take hostages, although he did not elaborate on why authorities believe that. During the hourlong chase, two of the hostages jumped or were thrown from the stolen SUV. Both were expected to survive. The only surviving suspect was identiﬁed Thursday as Jaime Ramos, 19, who wasn’t injured. Police said the other robbers, ages 27 and 30, were gang members from Stockton.

New Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the company needed to be “more agile.”

Thursday, Nadella said the changes were needed for the company to “become more agile and move faster.” Nadella plans to cut 12,500 jobs from Microsoft’s mobile phone unit,

the Nokia Devices and Services business, which Microsoft acquired this past spring. That deal, which added 25,000 employees to Microsoft, was ﬁnalized before Nadella took over from Ballmer, who wanted Microsoft to make its own phones and tablets to take on competitors such as Apple. Nadella, however, has said he wants to focus more heavily on Microsoft’s strong software and server businesses, and make a few devices that exemplify how those Microsoft services work together. The move dwarfs Microsoft’s previous biggest job cut, when it cut about 5,800 jobs in 2009. That was the company’s ﬁrst ever widespread layoff. (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

KAMPALA, UGANDA

Report: Ugandan Police Abuse Homeless Kids Homeless children in Uganda’s urban centers face beatings and abuse at the hands of police and local officials, Human Rights Watch charged Thursday in a report that urges Ugandan authorities to protect street children from targeted roundups and arbitrary detentions. A police spokesman said the allegations are “totally not true.” (AP) KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

Taliban Attack Airport as Election Recount Begins Afghan election officials on Thursday began a nationwide recount of ballots casts in last month’s disputed presidential runoff vote, just hours after Taliban insurgents staged a predawn attack on Kabul International Airport.

Gaza City, Gaza Strip Thousands of Israeli soldiers backed by tanks invaded the Gaza Strip on Thursday, a military spokesman said, escalating a 10-day military operation to try to destroy Hamas’ weapons arsenal, rocket firing abilities and tunnels used to send militants from the Palestinian territory into Israel. The high-stakes move was compelled by Israel’s growing exasperation over rocket fire and followed the collapse of efforts to broker a cease-fire. It also came after a failed attempt by 13 militants to infiltrate Israel earlier Thursday through a tunnel under the Gaza-Israel border, only to be stopped by an Israeli strike at the mouth of the tunnel. “In light of the despicable and relentless aggression by Hamas and the dangerous infiltration into

Israelis participate in a demonstration Thursday against their government’s military action in the Gaza Strip. One sign reads“Words instead of rockets.”

Israel, Israel is obliged to protect its citizens,” said a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ofﬁce. Israel’s chief military spokesman Brig. Gen. Motti Almoz called on Gaza residents to evacuate areas where the military is operating, warning the “military is operating there with very great force.”

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said Israel “will pay dearly” for the assault. “Hamas is ready for a confrontation,” he said. Residents said the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya came under heavy Israeli shelling. “There is the sound of tank shells all the time,” said Jamal Abu Samra, 42, a farmer in the area.

Comet-Chasing Probe Makes Surprise Find Berlin A space probe aiming to become the first to land on a comet has taken images that appear to show its target could actually be two separate lumps of rock and ice, scientists said Thursday. The pictures released by the European Space Agency were taken by its Rosetta probe, which is nearing the ﬁnal stage of its decadelong mission to drop a lander on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Until now, 67P was thought to

have a more compact, rounded form. One explanation is that the comet is a contact binary composed of two parts, indicating that 67P either broke apart or fused with another comet at some point. Another is that it’s one unit deformed by its passage past Jupiter or the sun. Or, scientists cautioned, it may be nothing. Because the pictures were shot when Rosetta was 7,457 miles away, the unusual shape could have resulted from a digital processing method that was used to smoothen the image. FR ANK JORDANS (AP)

Wait, That’s Not a Kayak! Last year, Japanese artist Megumi Igarashi rowed across Tokyo’s Tama River in a kayak created from a 3-D print of her own vagina. The purpose of her project, CBC News reported, was to confront the country’s taboos regarding the female form. But once she started distributing data that would allow others to print her genitalia in the same way, Tokyo police said no, claiming she was violating Japanese obscenity laws. The artist was arrested this week after emailing the data to some 30 people who responded to a crowdfunding campaign to finance her kayak, the Guardian reported. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

It’s possible that Ron Dermer, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., ended Thursday’s Twitter Q&A on a sarcastic note after a chat that, well, turned out as one would expect. Sample question from @Mobute: “Is it hard to type on an iPhone with blood on your hands?” The chat was filled with cynicism and outrage directed at Israel and its bombing campaign against Islamist militants in Gaza that has led to the deaths of more than 200 Palestinians.

Batteries on Board The all-electric vehicle, with its gentle curves, lightweight composite body and battery technology that just won’t quit, gave D.C. quite a show last week. It stopped by several locations around town, so folks could board, ask questions and get a feel for what might serve as the city’s next Circulator. Those red buses with the $1 fare are nearing the end of their lifespan, explains Will Handsﬁeld, transportation director for the Georgetown Business Improvement District. The BID and other stakeholders want to replace the ﬂeet, he says, so they’re organizing one-day showcas-

es for the front-runners. First up, Proterra from South Carolina. That’s how Hill ended up standing outside the U.S. Department of Transportation HQ, giving his sales pitch. It’s the only battery-run bus on the market that can operate continuously for 24 hours, he boasted. The magic is in its charging mechanism: At a spot along its route, the vehicle can sit under a lamppost-high power station while unloading and loading passengers. In ﬁve minutes, it’ll have

What’s usually loud, stinky and heavy? A bus. So when Dale Hill, the founder of Proterra, pointed to his company’s newest model — a 40-footer that can seat up to 77 passengers — he used an adjective I was not expecting: “sexy.”

an extra hour of juice. (Fully charged, it can go for three hours, Hill added.) Nearly 50 Proterra buses have hit the streets in other cities, including Pomona, Calif., Reno, Nev., and Worcester, Mass. The passengers’ response? “Once they ride this bus, they love it,” Hill said. Obviously I needed to go for a spin. When I got on board, I heard a low rumble. Turns out, that was just the air conditioning. Otherwise, the bus was as quiet as promised. But the best part, Hill said, is the cost. A Proterra bus runs about $1 million, which is twice the price of a typical diesel bus, but once you factor in fuel savings and reduced maintenance, the bottom lines are about the same. “For green technology, you can hug all of the trees you want, but if it’s too expensive, people won’t buy it,” Hill said. The question is: Will D.C.? Option No. 2 — a model from BYD — is expected to roll into town in August.

D.C. lawmakers, meanwhile, lambasted the amendment Thursday. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton said it “presents a clear and present danger” to residents and tourists. Mayor Vincent Gray said it was “shameful” the city must constantly fight attempts by Congress to involve itself in local affairs. “We’re not a toy. We’re not a pawn,” he said.

Backstory Rep. Thomas Massie, the Kentucky congressman behind an amendment that would undo D.C.’s strict gun-control laws, said Thursday he doesn’t think it will become law. A day after he got the language in a spending bill, Massie said he suspects his amendment will not get through the Senate. “I’m fairly confident that it will get killed by Harry Reid,” Massie said. Still, he called the amendment an opportunity for “an important vote” on gun rights. (AP)

Washington About 2,700 workers displaced by the Washington Navy Yard shootings last year will begin returning to the renovated building in February, Navy Vice Admiral William Hilarides said Thursday. By the end of April, the office building where a gunman killed 12 civilian workers before police shot him dead will be fully reopened with a new name and a new, more secure visitors entrance, Hilarides said. “It’s been tough but the workforce is resilient, the people are committed to the mission,” he said. He said the structure, built in the 1800s, will still bear the number 197 but be named the Joshua Humphreys Building, after the designer of the first Navy frigates. The building was the headquarters for Naval Sea Systems Command when civilian contractor Aaron Alexis opened fire with a sawed-off shotgun Sept. 16. It has since been closed. DAVID DISHNEAU (AP)

sion requires residents who want to own guns legally to be ﬁngerprinted and photographed, register their guns every three years and complete a safety class. Massie’s amendment would leave only federal gun control laws to govern the District. The spending bill approved by the House on Wednesday also includes language that would reverse the city’s decision to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana. That law went into effect Thursday. The fate of that amendment will likely depend on negotiations between the House, Senate and White House. JESSICA GRESKO (AP)

Archive Washington From Adolf Hitler down to the petty bureaucrats, thousands of perpetrators of World War II war crimes were eventually written up in vast reams of investigative files — files that now, for the first time, can be viewed in their entirety by the public. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. has obtained a full copy of the U.N. War Crimes Commission archive that has largely been locked away for the past 70 years under restricted access. The museum announced Thursday it has made the digital archive freely available to visitors in its research room. (AP)

Cover Story What Brought the Plane Down?

After Tragedy, Blame

The Malaysia Airlines jet was flying far above the range of conventional portable anti-aircraft launchers when it was destroyed Thursday — but it was well within the altitude range of the powerful Buk surface-to-air missile-launcher. An adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister said on his Facebook page that the plane was flying at an altitude of 33,000 feet when it was hit by a missile from a Buk launcher, which can fire up to an altitude of 72,000 feet. Aviation authorities in several countries, including the FAA in the United States, had issued warnings not to fly over parts of Ukraine prior to Thursday’s crash, but many airliners had continued to use the route.

Ukraine, Russia point fingers after Malaysia airliner is shot down

Residents said that pieces of wreckage from the Malaysia Airlines jetliner were found miles apart in eastern Ukraine.

MANAN VATSYAYANA (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

Ukraine accused pro-Russia separatists of shooting down a Malaysian jetliner with 298 people aboard Thursday, sharply escalating the crisis and threatening to draw East and West deeper into the conflict. The rebels denied downing the aircraft. American intelligence authorities believe a surface-to-air missile brought the plane down but were still working on who fired the missile and whether it came from the Russian or Ukrainian side of the border, a U.S. official said. Bodies, debris and burning wreckage of the Boeing 777 were strewn over a field near the rebel-held village of Hrabove in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine. The aircraft appeared to have broken up before impact. The cockpit and one turbine lay more than a half-mile from each other. Residents said the tail had landed about 6 miles farther away. Rescue workers planted sticks with white flags where they found human remains. There was no indication there were any survivors from Flight 17, which took off shortly after noon Thursday from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with 283 passengers and a crew of 15. Malaysia’s prime minister said there was no distress call before the plane went down and that the flight route was declared safe by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

DMITRY LOVETSKY (AP)

Hrabove, Ukraine

Akmar Mohamad Noor’s sister was coming to visit for the first time in five years. “She called me just before she boarded the plane and said ‘see you soon.’ ”

President Petro Poroshenko called it an “act of terrorism” and demanded an international investigation. He insisted that his forces did not shoot down the plane. Ukraine’s security services produced what they said were two intercepted telephone conversations that showed rebels were responsible. In the first call, a rebel commander tells a Russian military intelligence officer that rebel forces shot down a plane. In the second, two rebel fighters say the rocket attack was carried out by a unit of insurgents. Neither recording could be verified. Earlier in the week, the reb-

els had claimed responsibility for shooting down two Ukrainian military planes. President Barack Obama called the crash a “terrible tragedy,” and Britain asked for a meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Ukraine. Ofﬁcials said most aboard were Dutch citizens, and the passenger list included those from Australia, Malaysia, the U.K., the Philippines and Canada. Russia’s Interfax news agency said as many as 23 Americans may have been onboard. The crash brings Ukraine’s conﬂict to parts of the globe never touched by it before. PETER LEONARD (AP)

Passenger Planes Shot Out of the Sky Airlines carrying hundreds of passengers have been shot down before. Here are a few: Feb. 21, 1973

April 20, 1978

Libyan Airlines Flight 114 en route from Tripoli to Cairo goes off course and drifts into Israeli airspace. Israel claims the plane refused to identify itself and two jets fire at it. The aircraft goes out of control and crashes, killing 108 people. There are five survivors.

An off-course South Korean jetliner carrying 110 people is attacked by a Soviet MiG fighter and is forced to crash land on a frozen lake near Murmansk, killing two passengers.

A Korean Air Lines passenger jet en route from New York to Seoul is shot down by a Soviet fighter jet, which mistakes the craft for a spy plane as it wanders into Soviet airspace. All 269 people aboard are killed.

An Iranian passenger plane is shot down over the Persian Gulf by the U.S. warship Vincennes, which mistakes it for a threatening warplane during the war between Iraq and Iran. All 290 people aboard are killed. The U.S. pays more than $130 million in a 1996 settlement that includes compensation for families of the victims. (AP)

Fighting Words “The state over whose territory this occurred bears responsibility for this awful tragedy.” — Russian President Vladimir Putin, blaming Ukraine for the crash

“The separatists could have only gotten that capability from Russia. But, again, I am not — and we should not — jump to any conclusions.” — Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who told Bloomberg News that the U.S. should have a “stringent” response if Russia is deemed responsible

Another Disaster For Malaysia Amid it all, a question: Just how could disaster strike the same airline twice in such a short space of time? In what appears to be a mind-boggling coincidence, Malaysia is reeling from the second tragedy to hit its national airline in less than five months. On March 8, a Malaysia Airlines jetliner vanished about an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, spawning an international mystery that remains unsolved. There was no immediate reason to think the two disasters are in any way linked. (AP)

They’re Living Large Younger renters in D.C. embrace micro-units that foster community

JASON HORNICK (FOR EXPRESS)

Apartment Trends

Julie Williams, 36, left a two-bedroom apartment in Olney, Md., for a Northwest D.C. studio that’s 350 square feet. She says “bigger isn’t always better.”

Julie Williams’ studio apartment is about the size of a large master bedroom, except that a kitchen and bathroom are crammed in as well. At 350 square feet, it’s the smallest apartment she’s ever lived in, and she loves it. “I previously lived in a two-bedroom [in Olney, Md.], but I would rather live here,” says the 36-year-old National Institutes of Health employee, who is one of a new wave of renters willing to swap space for the ideal location. “I have everything I need right here … walking distance to Metro, to restaurants, to the grocery store, so it’s perfect.” Williams’ building, the Harper (1919 14th St. NW; 202-842-1919; harperon14 .com), is made up entirely of apartments that have between 350 to 600 square feet of space — some of which developers are now calling “micro-units.” Though definitions of micro-units vary, most real estate experts consider a microunit to be any apartment less than 500 square feet that’s designed for efficiency. More of them are popping up in the region, as developers discover that it’s the things outside the apartments that make small spaces work for millennials like Williams, who would rather pay for location and neighbors than extra square footage.

Micro-Units

From Offices to Apartments

Continued from page R1

City-Wide Trend

KATHERINE FREY (THEWASHINGTON POST)

Data shows that renters are increasingly interested in smaller apartments. For example, developers are building 45percent fewer two-bedrooms in D.C. now than they did in 2000, according to research from Delta Associates published in The Washington Post.

nextweek

News, tips and points of interest in the local rental scene from The Washington Post. NORTHWEST D.C.

Plans Will Turn 2 NW Buildings Into Apartments Developers recently announced plans to renovate and restore two existing buildings that will be joined to form one apartment building on 14th Street Northwest. The project, known as Elysium Fourteen (1925 14th St. NW; bit. ly/1nDypRO), will be a nine-sto-

Her tiny apartment at the Harper in Northwest D.C. encourages her to get out, make friends and enjoy her community, Julie Williams says. She says she loves the unit.

The building, at 14th Street and Wallach Place, just one block from the U Street Metro station, will have 12,500 square feet of retail space. Residents should be able to move into the building in fall 2015.

Harper, with all utilities included. Developers are pursuing a similar strategy at the Wharf (690 Water St. SW; swdcwater front.com), a new project planned for D.C.’s Southwest Waterfront. At one residential building there, about 170 of the 500 apartments will be micro-units. The

One D.C.-area developer is taking the concept of small-space living geared toward millennials a step further. Developer Vornado/Charles E. Smith is collaborating with WeWork — a shared office space company — to repurpose an office building at 2221 S. Clark Street in Crystal City. The building, set to open in mid-2015, will have about 250 apartments, many of them around 300 square feet. The apartments will come furnished and will have a kitchen with typical appliances, like a fridge and a microwave, though some units will have studio layouts. The building will have social spaces for residents, including community kitchens, café areas and a library. Backers are betting that millennials will appreciate the community vibe. “We’re making places for millennials,” says Vornado president Mitchell Schear. “You’ll have a small space of your own, but there will be small spaces in common that people will share. … You have this feeling of openness and sharing and community.” L.E.W.

Wharf’s developers hope those smaller apartments will appeal to younger renters who want “to live in a high-energy environment” without a roommate, says associate project director Matthew Steenhoek. The first phase of the Wharf project, including the micro-units, is expected to open in 2017.

Selling Points One thing developers say can charm renters into a micro-unit: vibrant communities. Williams has found that the tight spaces in studios at the Harper lend themselves to a tight-knit community in the common areas, making renters less likely to worry about their small square footage. Williams already made friends with her neighbors, and hung out with a couple of them on a Friday night. She and one other tenant even co-hosted a meet-and-greet

The Silver Line is slated to open July 26. Read about some of the apartments near Metro’s newest stops in the upcoming Ready to Rent.

As rents go up, new apartment buildings are banking on studios and one-bedrooms. They’re real estate’s answer to the roommate phenomenon: If millennials are teaming up to split two- or threebedroom units in nice buildings, why not just offer smaller spaces so that they can afford to live on their own? At the Harper, that strategy is paying off. The apartments started leasing Jan. 20 and are now more than 90 percent full. “We thought we could deliver more affordable units in the neighborhood by making them smaller,” said developer Michael Korns of Keener Management. Trendy 14th Street Northwest, where the Harper sits, can be a pricey place to live. At nearby buildings, rent for a one-bedroom often starts at more than $3,000. Williams pays $1,795 for her small studio at the

New Complex In Clarendon Begins Leasing The Beacon Clarendon Apartments, a new two-tower apartment complex in Arlington, is now leasing. Its first tenants are slated to move in Aug. 15.

A RENDERING DEPICTS the proposed 150,000-square-foot mixed-use project known as 10th Street Flats in Clarendon. The project is poised to get the green light from Arlington on Saturday, the Washington Business Journal reported Monday. The five-story building will include about 130 residential units.

on the building’s roof recently. Managers at the Harper and the Wharf are betting that that kind of community, coupled with amenities like rooftop pools and nearby restaurants, will make the snug spaces worthwhile. The other big hook for tenants: well-designed floor plans. Having a carefully laid out space is key to making a tiny rental work. At the Harper, “the apartments feel bigger than they are, with no wasted space,” developer Korns says. Williams says she uses her window ledge as extra seating and mounts her TV to the wall, so that she still has room for a fullsize bed and a lounge chair. “Bigger isn’t always better,” she says.

The Beacon (1128 N. Irving St.; 703-496-9939, beaconarlington .com), which features a six-story and a 10-story building, will have 187 apartments in a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Amenities include in-unit washers and dryers, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and built-in USB ports. Community amenities include a fitness center, a rooftop pool and a ninth-floor clubroom with access to a green roof.

Time to Break Out of It

Series Preview

Harper has yet to get in a groove since his return from injury

The Nationals (51-42) open the second half of the season against the NL Central-leading Brewers (53-43). Milwaukee has scored the second-most runs in the NL, while Washington has allowed the fewest.

Nationals

FRIDAY

Maybe this week’s break from baseball will turn out to be just what Bryce Harper needed to overcome his first-half slump. The 2012 NL Rookie of the Year was a .272 hitter over the first two seasons of his career. But as the team gets back to work Friday after the All-Star break, Harper has a .244 batting average, .316 on-base percentage and .366 slugging percentage. The 21-year-old outfielder has played only 34 games because of injuries and has just six multihit games and two home runs this season. Harper has struck out 27 percent of the time, indicating he’s having trouble locating the ball in the batter’s box. According to brooksbaseball .net, Harper’s whiffing on breaking balls 40 percent of the time and is swinging and missing on 45 percent of the offspeed pitches he’s seen. He struggled before the thumb injury, and the trend has continued since his return June 30. “I’m still trying to see where my swing is at and get in shape for left field,” said Harper, who has gone 6-for-40 (.150 batting average) since coming off the disabled list. Manager Matt Williams has been around the game long enough to know it’s a process getting out of these kind of struggles. “Ever ybody goes t hrough slumps,” Williams said. “Every-

Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has gone 6-for-40 (.150 batting average) since coming off the disabled list on June 30.

Oddsmakers Like the Nats The second half of the Nationals’ season begins Friday, and their strong finish to the first half has many bullish about their future. After a sluggish start, the Nationals won 17 games in June, tied for the second-most in baseball, and are 7-4 in July. They are 51-42 and tied with the Braves for first place atop the NL East with 69 games left. Thanks to their improved play, oddsmakers have picked first-year manager Matt Williams, left, and the Nationals among the favorites in the NL and in baseball overall. According to the popular betting site Bovada.lv, the Nationals are tied with the St. Louis Cardinals for the fifth best odds (10 to 1) to win the World Series. According to FanGraphs.com, the Nationals are projected to win just under 91 games and have 94.3 percent odds of making the playoffs, the highest of any NL team. Their odds of winning the NL East are 81.5 percent, compared to the Braves’ 18.1 percent. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

body has injuries. Everyone that comes back from a long layoff has timing issues and needs to get back in the flow of the game. But I think with Bryce, especially, that spotlight shines brighter than most.” The good news for Harper is that he hasn’t had to carry the Nationals since his return from the DL. Despite his absence over a month of action, the Nationals are coming out of the break tied for first place with the Atlanta Braves in the NL East. “It’s going to take some time,” Williams said. “He’s starting to see the ball better too, he can feel that. So it’s a question of continuing to go out and work, continuing to play. But it does take time.” JASON BUT T (FOR E XPRESS)

Who’s Hot? Jayson Werth, Nationals: The 35-year-old outfielder has been the hottest hitter in baseball. He’s hit .375 with an MLB-high six home runs and 19 RBIs in 11 games played in July.

Who’s Not? Craig Stammen, Nationals: The right-handed reliever had a 2.52 ERA before June 26. Now it’s at 3.78 after he’s allowed nine earned runs in his past five appearances.

Vincenzo Nibali of Italy has the lead in the Tour de France after 12 stages.

Tour Leader: Doping Belongs To Cycling Past Tour de France Because of doping’s ravages on cycling, it’s natural for suspicion to fall on Vincenzo Nibali, who led the Tour de France on Thursday for a 10th time in 12 stages. But Nibali says the sport has changed, doping cases have become rare, and “this theme belongs to the past.” The Italian has had a praiseworthy, almost unbreakable lock on the yellow jersey, yet he will be looking over his shoulder more on Friday. The great race enters two days in the Alps that feature uphill ﬁnishes, starting with the hardest climb that the peloton has faced so far. Many cycling experts say the sport has greatly cleaned up its act. JAMEY KEATEN (AP)

McIlroy, Woods Deliver at Open 25-year-old looking to avoid letdown after another strong start British Open Rory McIlroy had everything go his way Thursday in the British Open. A lovely summer day in England with abundant sunshine and minimal wind allowed him to attack Royal Liverpool. He made half his six birdies on the par 5s and kept bogeys off his card. And on the day Tiger Woods made a promising return, McIlroy took the lead with a 6-under 66, his best score in nearly two years at a major. Now if he can only ﬁnd a way to get to the weekend. McIlroy either set himself up for a good run at the Claret Jug or another dose of Friday failures. In what already has been an unusual year for golf, no trend is more mysterious than the 25-year-old going from awesome to awful overnight. Six times in his last eight tournaments, he has had a nine-hole score of 40 or higher on Friday that has taken him out of the mix.

AWARD SHOW

Last Sunday’s World Cup final capped off a record-breaking tournament for TV viewership in the United States. Just like it did for the rest of the competition, Washington, D.C., led the way. The match between Germany and Argentina drew 17.3 million viewers on ABC and 9.2 million on Univision Deportes nationwide. The combined U.S. viewership of 26.5 million was the most ever for a soccer game. The previous record stood for only three weeks. The ﬁnal bested the USA-Portugal group-stage match on June 22, which drew

24.7 million viewers. Overall, the 2014 tournament was easily the most-watched World Cup ever in the United States. On ESPN/ESPN2/ABC, the 64 World Cup matches averaged more than 4.5 million viewers, or a 2.8 rating. The trio of networks achieved their previous high with the 2010 World Cup, when they averaged 3.3 million viewers per match, or a 2.1 rating.

Spanish-language telecasts were a similar story. The 2014 World Cup on Univision Deportes reached nearly 81 million total viewers, up 34 percent from its coverage in 2010. Locally, D.C. enhanced its reputation as a soccer hotbed by routinely posting the best ratings out of any U.S. market. The World Cup final was no exception, as D.C. turned in a 15.4 rating. Through all 64 matches of the World Cup, Washington was the top-rated market in the country, with an average 4.9 rating. It was followed by New York (4.6), San Francisco (4.4), Los Angeles (4.0) and San Diego (4.0). SETH VERTELNEY (FOR E XPRESS)

“It’s not like I’ve shot good scores in first rounds and haven’t backed them up before,” McIlroy said. “I’m used to doing that. I just haven’t done it recently. We’ll see what tomorrow brings and what weather it is and try and handle it as best I can. “Hopefully,” he said, “it’s just one of those things and I’m able to turn it around tomorrow.” Woods also would like to keep moving in the right direction. He got off to a troubling start with two quick bogeys, nearly made another one on the fourth hole, and then looked like a 14-time major champion when he ran off five birdies in six holes toward the end of his round for a 69. Not bad for guy who had back surgery March 31, who started taking full swings only a month ago and who had not played in a major in 11 months. “I felt good about a lot of things I did out there,” said Woods, who played the back nine in 4-under 33. “Especially coming back after that start I had today, to fight myself back into the championship. “It felt good to be back out there competing again.” PAUL NEWBERRY (AP)

Up Next Chivas USA at D.C. United 8 P.M. Sunday | CSN Last season, a matchup between D.C. United and Chivas USA would have been a good opportunity to make alternative plans. In Major League Soccer, though, things can change quickly, and Sunday’s match at RFK Stadium is a perfect example. In 2013, DCU and Chivas USA were the two worst teams in the league. In 2014, D.C. United is second in the Eastern Conference after posting three straight road wins. Chivas USA is just outside of a playoff spot in the West, but has won four straight games to find itself right back in contention. (S.V.)

THE REELIST

KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY

“Sex Tape” is the story of characters played by Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel trying to figure out how to use iCloud.

It Just Doesn’t Sync ‘Sex Tape’ fails to maintain the legacy of Apatow’s best Film Review T he h igh-concept comed ies spawned by “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” need to start using birth control. Judd Apatow’s landmark ﬁlm undoubtedly ushered in a new era in comedy, mostly marked by stories about various seminal chapters of life — high-school graduation (“Superbad”), young parenthood (“Neighbors”), 30s singledom (“Bridesmaids”), middle age (“This Is 40”) and the like. But Apatow has also inspired a now sizable cottage industry of thin movies (“The Hangover,” “The Five-Year Engagement,” “Bad Teacher,”) with concepts boasting good titles but shallow stories. “Sex Tape” belongs to the latter group. It’s directed by Jake Kasdan, a consulting producer on “Freaks

‘Sex Tape’ (R) Director: Jake Kasdan Stars: Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Ellie Kemper and Rob Lowe In a Nutshell: A married couple goes to extreme lengths to recover copies of their homemade sex tape that accidentally ended up in the hands of friends and family.

and Geeks” who went on to direct “Bad Teacher.” “Sex Tape” reteams that ﬁlm’s lead duo, Jason Segel (a near constant in Apatow-land) and Cameron Diaz, the always game, wide-smiling muse for what’s now been several generations of comedy. A screwball that takes its genre literally, “Sex Tape” is about a married couple, Annie (Diaz) and Jay (Segel), trying to reawaken their love life after years of marriage and two kids. They settle on making a porn for themselves that tours through the positions of “The Joy of Sex.” In the ﬁrst of many outlandish plot twists, Jay hands out his

old iPads like party favors at a get-together of friends and family. Hours afterward, an anonymous text makes him realize that each iPad has their video stored on it, due to a syncing app. Naturally, Jay and Annie embark on a suburban odyssey to take back the iPads. In short, it’s a PG plot for an X-rated story. The movie is so desperate for laughs that it resorts to gags like a dog that can open doors chasing Segel around a mansion. To its credit, there’s a lightness to the ﬁlm and the performers are uniformly likable. When Ellie Kemper and Rob Corddry appear (their couple yearns to see the video as their own turn-on), you wish the movie would stick with them and their nervous energy. “Sex Tape” tries to somehow bridge the gap between the traditional romantic comedy and today’s porn-addled digital world. It’s a valiant effort and the performers are uniformly likable. But “Sex Tape” proves the Apatow formula is in need of an update. JAKE COYLE (AP)

The best description of parenting I’ve ever seen was in the comic strip “Zits” (that’s where I read it; the Internet suggests it originated elsewhere). It said simply, “The days are long, but the years are short.” At the time I read it, I had a chubby, blonde 4-year-old who was obsessed with Batman. Now I have a lanky, less-blonde 6-year-old who is obsessed with Batman. The Dark Knight is the only constant in my life as a mother. My son is now the same age as Mason (Ellar Coltrane) at the start of “Boyhood,” the small miracle of a ﬁlm that tracks a boy — and his family — over 12 years. Mason is so emphatically 6 in the beginning of the ﬁlm that I couldn’t help compare him to my boy; one of the opening scenes has Mason giving his mother the perfectly logical explanation for why he tried sharpening rocks in the classroom pencil sharpener: He thought it would make sharp rocks. After we meet 6-year-old Mason, “Boyhood” starts hurtling along. He stretches, his hair darkens, his clothes start looking like things he picked out. Where people once chose for him, Mason begins making his

own choices (many so remarkably stupid you wish he’d stuck to rock sharpening). And while I think the film is a half hour too long, there is always the underlying sense that this childhood is going way too fast. It’s been a long time since a film has haunted me this much, not only because it felt like a glimpse into my son’s — and therefore my — future, but also because it holds a mirror up to life and reflects it so sharply it’s wonderfully uncomfortable. But what I remember most is desperately hoping that director Richard Linklater would do some sort of cheesy montage at the end, to go back, if only for a second, to the time before Mason could grow one of those scraggly teenage mustaches, back before he got interested in girls, back to when he could still fit at least semi-comfortably on his mom’s lap. That (to Linklater’s credit) doesn’t happen; “Boyhood” only moves forward. Mason will never be 6 again, except in the memories of those who watched him grow. Read Kristen Page-Kirby’s previous columns at: washingtonpost.com/thereelist

This version of Mason is so last decade.

Elaine Stritch, the Broadway legend with impeccable comic timing, has died. She was 89. Though Stritch appeared in movies and on television, she was best

known for her stage work, particularly her one-woman show, “Elaine Stritch: At Liberty,” and the Stephen Sondheim musical “Company.” Stritch guest starred in several TV series, most notably on “Law & Order” in 1990, for which she won

her ﬁrst Emmy. She won another in 2007 for her role as Alec Baldwin’s unforgiving mother on “30 Rock.” Stritch detailed her struggle with aging in “Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me,” a documentary released in February. “I like the courage of age,” Stritch said in the ﬁlm. “It’s time for me, and I can feel it everywhere.”

“JOURNALISM IN ACTION!” — @ALEXREMINGTON sees the Washington City

Paper putting the alt in alternative weekly with its offer to pay the ﬁrst ﬁve marijuana possession citations readers send the paper from Friday on. D.C.’s law decriminalizing possession of less than an ounce of marijuana for personal use took effect Thursday, and, in a blog post, the City Paper said it is “curious to see how it’ll be enforced.”

“I’m sure they’ll find the cause once someone looks into it” — COMMENTER DUKE67 AT SPLOID .GIZMODO.COM suggests the

“Those who do read comics are aware that nothing in the comics-world is static and that major characters undergo immense change over the course of their life.” — COMMENTER YODAROCKS AT THEVERGE.COM wasn’t

surprised when Marvel chief creative ofﬁcer Joe Quesada announced Wednesday on “The Colbert Report” that the next Captain America will be the character of Sam Wilson, alter-ego of another Marvel hero, Falcon, who is black.

DIFFICULT

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Something you need may have gone missing, requiring you to search high and low — even while you tend to other business. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may be fighting against environmental influences, forces both internal and external. Perhaps you should just go with it? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The days ahead will be shaped by what you do on this day — and perhaps only this day. You mustn’t underestimate the power of coincidence. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can work better with a little bit of aural distraction, but be sure to choose your music or conversation with great care. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll be impressed with another’s choice for a personal diversion, to the point that you may actually want to join in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have a way of fitting in even when things seem awkward and unusual. Perhaps, in fact, that is your special expertise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be reminded of something from your past that you haven’t gotten over completely. There’s no likelihood of it happening today! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’re likely to be contacted by one who doesn’t quite have the lay of the land yet. You can provide valuable information.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A second pair of eyes may be useful to you as you try to track down something that’s missing. Perhaps it’s right under your nose!

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.
