iPhones? More like ‘I swear they were there when I left’ phones

The sequel no one asked for: ‘Dude, Where’s My Train?’

Not quite what he meant when he said, ‘Here’s my card. Use it.’

Dutch police arrested five Romanian men suspected of stealing iPhones worth $590,000 from a truck being driven down a road, authorities said Monday. The men allegedly stole the phones last week by driving a modified van so close to the delivery truck that one of the suspects was able to clamber across the van’s hood and break into the truck while it was moving — and without the driver realizing a theft was in progress. (AP)

Police on Monday tracked down a 25-foot electric passenger train that was stolen in the San Francisco Bay Area over the weekend. Owner Eric Sossamon said the colorful, trackless train seats 16 to 20 people comfortably and makes regular appearances at festivals and parties. Sossamon had offered four hours of free train service as a reward. No word on whether the woman who spotted the missing train will take him up on that. (AP)

When the police chief of Canal Fulton, Ohio, gave a resident his business card, he never expected it to be used this way: The chief later discovered that a woman used the rolled-up card to snort heroin.

Co-hosts for Super Bowl? SPORTS Speaking at a fan forum in Baltimore on Sunday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell weighed in on the possibility of the NFL awarding another Super Bowl to a cold-weather city with an outdoor stadium, as the league did for Super Bowl XLVIII in East Rutherford, N.J., in February 2014. “Why can’t a city like Baltimore host the Super Bowl?” a Ravens season ticket holder asked during the forum at the Ravens’ M&T Bank Stadium. “We serve crab cakes in January, too.” Said Goodell: “As the event gets bigger and bigger, it gets harder and harder to host because it’s competitive, the infrastructure keeps growing. “The number of hotel rooms now, I think we’re well over 35,000 hotel rooms that are required. The facilities around that for all the different events that come into a Super Bowl have become more complicated. The bar gets raised every year.” Goodell said that someone

SUNDAYS

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said a joint bid by Baltimore and D.C. is “an interesting idea.”

PATRICK SEMANSKY (AP )

Goodell mulls the idea of D.C. and Baltimore making a bid together

recently mentioned to him a possible joint Super Bowl bid in the Baltimore-Washington area. “Which is an interesting idea, because clearly there’s an infrastructure between the two communities,” Goodell said. In 2010, NFL owners voted to play the 2014 Super Bowl at Met Life Stadium, the new home of the Giants and Jets. It was the

first Super Bowl played outdoors at a cold-weather site and Goodell described that decision as “high risk, high reward.” A snowstorm hit the New York area a few hours after the game ended. “This was a big debate,” Goodell said. “Do we want the game to be played in perfect conditions? Do you want the elements to impact it? I personally

love football in the elements. I think that’s what makes it so special. “So, I love that part of it, but I also understand the issue of trying to put an event on where we have probably 150- to 200,000 people attending. It’s really tough to do, and it puts a lot of stress on smaller communities.” It’s unclear how a potential Baltimore-Washington joint bid would work, but Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has expressed his desire to host a Super Bowl for years. The Washington area was one of four finalists to host the 2008 Super Bowl, which instead went to Glendale, Ariz. “I think Washington should get one, no matter what,” Snyder said at the NFL owners’ spring meeting in 2010. “It is the nation’s capital.” In 2011, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said Baltimore would “be in line like everyone else” if the outdoor Super Bowl at Met Life Stadium was a success. The Super Bowl host sites have been awarded through 2022. The Redskins’ lease at FedEx Field runs through 2027. This year’s Super Bowl will be at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Pipeline foes press Northam Some fellow Dems oppose candidate’s support for projects VIRGINIA POLITICS For a guy whose party is supposed to be united behind him, Ralph Northam has faced moments of surprising disharmony from fellow Democrats in his campaign for Virginia governor. The lieutenant governor has been shouted down by protesters at public events and drawn sniping on party blogs, all over a single issue: energy companies building two natural gas pipelines in rural parts of the state. Northam won’t oppose the projects. Some Democrats despise them. While a few worry that the open dissent will wreck his chances this November, numbers suggest that there aren’t enough disgruntled pipeline opponents to make a difference in the election. After all, the pipelines are being built in areas with far more natural beauty than voters. But what the pipeline opponents lack in quantity, they make up for with passion. “This community is widespread and powerful, and they would work their hearts out for him,” Kay Leigh Ferguson, a Charlottesville resident who is an active pipeline opponent, said of the Democratic nominee for governor. “I think Northam ignores that at his peril.” The issue involves two projects inspired by the boom in fracked natural gas. The

MICHAEL S. WILLIAMSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam supports two pipeline proposals.

$5 billion Atlantic Coast Pipeline, proposed by Dominion Energy and several partners, would run about 550 miles from West Virginia through central and southern Virginia and into North Carolina, with a spur routed to Hampton Roads. The 300-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline would also start in West Virginia, but would enter Virginia in the southwest — near Blacksburg — and connect with an existing pipeline in Pittsylvania County. It’s being built by a partnership led by EQT Midstream. Northam casts himself as an environmentalist — raised on the Eastern Shore, opposed to offshore drilling, an advocate

Dominion Energy’s powerful influence Both Ralph Northam and his Republican opponent, Ed Gillespie, have received campaign contributions from Dominion Energy, which has proposed the $5 billion Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Northam could have more to lose by opposing the pipelines than by sticking with them. Dominion is a powerful political force in the state. It has tens of thousands of employees, retirees and shareholders in Virginia, as well as a vast customer base. Ahead of the primary, Dominion sent out mailers reminding people to check the candidates’ pipeline positions before voting. (TWP)

for alternative energy. But he has been unusually hazy on the pipelines, saying only that they need tough environmental oversight and that their fate is in the hands of federal regulators. His Republican opponent, Ed Gillespie, supports the pipelines. Northam’s campaign spokesman rejects the notion that the candidate’s position on the pipelines is simply a political calculation. “The political ramifications have mattered very little in what the lieutenant governor wanted to say on the issue,” spokesman David Turner said. “Science should say whether they can be built safely and environmentally sound.” Pipeline opponents know what they’re up against but believe right is on their side. They have walked 150 miles of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline route, posted mini-documentaries on Facebook and spoken out at local government meetings. Some are taking a hard look at Cliff Hyra, a Libertarian running for governor who opposes the pipelines. If the race between Northam and Gillespie is tight, Hyra could play the spoiler — giving the protesters more power. “I spent a lifetime primarily voting for the lesser evil,” said Mara Robbins, an environmentalist in Floyd County who has worked against the Mountain Valley Pipeline. “Those of us who are taking this stand are getting slammed right and left by party loyalists.” GREGORY S.

Laurel, Md., police officer buys diapers for single mother accused of shoplifting

Group helps abuse survivors rebuild lives PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY Sharon Harley is eager to share her experiences surviving domestic violence, saying she finds strength in the voice that reminds her each day that she deserves better. Harley said she’s no longer ashamed of talking about how long she stayed in a relationship fraught with physical abuse and emotional manipulation. The 52-year-old mother ascribes her newfound confidence to her faith, and also to a community of women she has found through a Prince George’s County program called Stay In Touch. The program, launched in the spring, is a support group designed to help those who have survived domestic violence to rebuild independent lives. Women in the Stay In Touch program attend weekly sessions, with meetings on topics such as why women stay in abusive relationships and creating safety plans. The program also helps women gain economic freedom, with discussions on how to hone résumés or prepare for job interviews. It is one of the new offerings at the Family Justice Center that opened last year in Prince George’s. For Harley, it’s a place where she can talk about her experiences without judgment. “They’re not looking down their noses at me,” she said. “The last thing a person needs in this situation is somebody looking at them funny.” LYNH BUI (TWP)

Ex-school worker faces 119 child sex abuse counts

Man in Trump hat arrested in fight over politics

Possible pot conflicts spark call for legislation

A former middle school instructional assistant infected with HIV is facing 119 felony counts of child sex abuse and other offenses after authorities in southern Maryland identified at least two dozen victims, according to Charles County court documents and lawyers. The case against Carlos Deangelo Bell, 30, began after a parent noticed sexually explicit text messages on her son’s phone. A police investigation later determined that the abuse spanned nearly two years until Bell was arrested in late June and that some of the incidents may have taken place in classrooms on public school property. Bell appeared in Charles County Circuit Court on Monday afternoon. (TWP)

A man from Florida wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat was arrested over the weekend after D.C. police said he assaulted three people near Dupont Circle on Saturday during a heated argument over President Trump’s politics. Police said that the 32-year-old suspect Louis Samuel Travieso, of Riverview, Fla., “straddled” one man “and pounded” him in the face 20 times with a closed fist and left and right forearms. Two others were also struck in the face when they intervened, police said. Police charged him with three counts of felony assault, classifying the incident as a “suspected hate crime.” Prosecutors later reduced the charges to misdemeanors but did not indicate why. (TWP)

On Monday, Del.

The cannabis commission says it is investigating these potential conflicts. Glenn has called for more minority inclusion in the medical marijuana program. (TWP)

A former contractor cheated the State Department out of millions in Iraq.

Man pleads guilty in State Dept. scam FEDERAL GOVERNMENT A former employee of the major contracting firm DynCorp International admitted Monday that while working in Iraq, he helped cheat the State Department out of millions of dollars. Jose Rivera, 57, of Potomac, Md., pleaded guilty in Alexandria federal court to conspiracy to defraud the United States, acknowledging that he helped convince his bosses to rent a camp at Baghdad International Airport for a grossly inflated price. The State Department ultimately footed the bill for the site as part of a training program for Iraqi police, paying $5,320,000 in rent for the property from September 2011 through April 2014. Rivera said in court that Emil Popescu, a Romanian contractor in the process of being extradited

to the United States, paid him in cash as part of the scheme. Rivera said he only counted the first payment of $15,000 but accepted a government estimate of having received a total of $250,000. “I have no idea how much money I received,” he said. “I never counted anything.” Popescu, Rivera and a third man, Wesley Struble, shared the profits with Iraqi co-conspirators, according to prosecutors. Rivera testified that he carried some of the money with him when he flew home. At other times, he hid the cash inside speakers he bought on base and mailed home to his family. He used some of the money to buy a $35,000 motorcycle. Rivera will be sentenced Oct. 6. RACHEL WEINER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Hot-car deaths prompt push for alarms

Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed his first meeting with President Trump at the Group of 20 summit in July.

Russia’s message to U.S.: Show ‘will’ to repair ties Relations at new low after Putin tells U.S. to cut diplomatic staffing MOSCOW Amid a major diplomatic retaliation unseen since the Cold War era, Russia urged the United States on Monday to show the “political will” to repair ties. President Vladimir Putin’s move to cut hundreds of U.S. diplomatic personnel in Russia underlines his readiness to raise the ante in the face of new sanctions approved by the U.S. Congress. The Russian leader warned that he has more tricks up his sleeve to hurt the U.S., but he voiced hope that he wouldn’t need to use them. Vice President Pence, visiting neighboring Estonia, said he

hoped for “better days and better relations with Russia.” Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said it will take time for the U.S. to recover from what he called “political schizophrenia,” but he added that Russia wants constructive cooperation with Washington. “We are interested in a steady development of our ties and are sorry to note that we are still far from that,” he said. Peskov’s statement followed televised comments Sunday by Putin, who said the U.S. would have to cut 755 of its embassy and consular staff in Russia, a massive reduction he described as a response to new U.S. sanctions. The Russian Foreign Ministry first announced the cuts Friday, when it said that the U.S. should reduce its presence to 455 employees, the number that Russia

has in the U.S. It also declared the closure of a U.S. recreational retreat on the outskirts of Moscow and warehouse facilities. Moscow’s action is the longexpected tit-for-tat response to former U.S. President Obama’s move to expel 35 Russian diplomats and shut down two Russian recreational retreats in the U.S. following allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Putin had refrained from retaliating until now in the hope that President Trump would follow up on his campaign promises to improve ties with Moscow and roll back Obama’s actions. The diplomatic personnel reductions are the harshest such move since 1986, when Moscow and Washington expelled dozens of diplomats. VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV (AP)

A federal law that would require carmakers to build alarms for back seats is being pushed by child advocates who say it would keep kids from dying in hot cars. The law also would standardize the criminal process for caregivers who cause the deaths — cases in which mothers are often prosecuted more aggressively. The latest deaths came in Arizona last weekend, when temperatures hit triple digits. Two baby boys were found forgotten in vehicles in separate incidents. The proposed alarms would alert drivers if a child is left in the back seat once the vehicle is turned off. It could be a sensor that detects a baby left in a car seat. The driver would be alerted in a way similar to reminders about open doors and seat belts. (AP)

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for an attack Monday on Iraq’s embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. A suicide bomber blew himself up outside the gates; three gunmen then stormed into the building, setting off a four-hour firefight. Afghan forces said they killed all the attackers. Two Afghans employed at the embassy also died. (AP) TALLINN, ESTONIA

Pence visits, reaffirms pledge to NATO allies On a visit to the Estonian capital, Vice President Mike Pence on Monday strongly pledged the U.S.’s commitment to protecting NATO allies against attacks, including Baltic states wary of a growing Russian military presence in the region. “Under President Donald Trump, the United States stands firmly behind our Article 5 pledge of mutual defense — an attack on one of us is an attack on us all,” Pence said after meeting with the presidents of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

nation+world Committee with Priebus and former press secretary Sean Spicer. Scaramucci doesn’t tell Short this, though, so Short resigns.

Ranking the 11 days with the Mooch ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI’S 11-DAY TENURE as White House commu-

nications director — from July 21 to Monday — was short enough and sufficiently packed with activity that we decided to review his time in the West Wing, ranking each day from worst to best.

11. Thursday, July 27 Seventh day at White House

This wasn’t the day that he was fired, but it was the day that led inexorably to Monday’s decision. On Thursday, The New Yorker published the most vulgar interview with a White House staffer in modern American politics. Scaramucci called then-White House chief of staff Reince Priebus an “[expletive] paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” referred to presidential adviser Stephen Bannon’s self-interestedness as resembling a sex act and said he was going to fire everyone on the communications staff. The call was predicated on Scaramucci trying to get The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza to reveal the source of a story about a dinner at the White House on July 26. Scaramucci signed off by declaring that he had to go tweet some stuff (not the word he used) that would drive Priebus crazy.

The call was on July 26, but the release of The New Yorker story on the 27th was a key trigger for Scaramucci’s firing.

to drive Priebus crazy. That tweet wasn’t about a leak to Lizza, but about a Politico report on Scaramucci’s financial disclosure forms — which were public information that Politico obtained by contacting the Export-Import Bank, where Scaramucci had a position.

Ninth day at White House

11th day at White House

The New York Post reports that Scaramucci’s wife of three years, Deidre Scaramucci, had filed for divorce earlier in the month. The New York Post speaks with unnamed sources close to Deidre who suggest that Scaramucci wasn’t unfaithful but that “the only one he’s dating right now is the West Wing of the White House.”

Scaramucci is fired by Priebus’ replacement, John Kelly. He wasn’t given a grace period for his departure. Multiple reports suggest he was, in essence, escorted off White House grounds. Oh, also, we learned that the Harvard Law alumni directory accidentally listed him as dead.

9. Wednesday, July 26 Sixth day at White House

7. Monday, July 24

Lizza reported that Scaramucci dined at the White House with Fox News’ Sean Hannity and the president. Scaramucci appears to have assumed Priebus was the leaker, so he called Lizza to find out. Once off the phone with Lizza, he issued that tweet meant

A tough job to keep No post in Trump’s White House has experienced as much upheaval as communications director. It was first given to Jason Miller, a Trump campaign aide who stepped down from the post during the transition before even being sworn in. It was then given to GOP operative Michael Dubke, who resigned in May. In the intervening weeks, Sean Spicer took on those responsibilities in addition to his role as press secretary until Anthony Scaramucci was named to the position July 21 over Spicer’s objections. (TWP)

Eighth day at White House

Priebus’ resignation from the White House is announced at the end of a day in which Trump’s team had traveled to Long Island for a speech about law enforcement — at which, again, Trump made comments that required the host organization to offer a clarification.

Here’s a look at each jam-packed day of Scaramucci’s short and chaotic tenure as White House communications director

5. Friday, July 28

Scaramucci deletes old tweets in which his political positions differed from the president he’d just agreed to serve. For example: “Barack Obama: As your friend, let me say that the E.U. makes Britain even greater. Re: #Brexit I stand with @POTUS.”

3. Sunday, July 23 Third day at White House

Scaramucci makes the rounds on the Sunday talk shows, where he pledges to uproot administration leakers, even if it requires firing everyone except himself and the press secretary. It was probably the last day that Scaramucci was making news that didn’t derive from his own behavior.

2. Friday, July 21 First day at White House

In West Virginia, Scaramucci’s day job takes a hit of its own, as Trump gives an unusually political speech to a gathering of Boy Scouts, for which the Boy Scouts of America later apologized.

Scaramucci debuts during the White House daily briefing. He announces that Spicer has tendered his resignation and that Sarah Huckabee Sanders will replace Spicer. He proceeds to spend about 20 minutes answering questions, broadly defending the president while mimicking Trump’s best-known mannerisms.

nation+world Venezuelan president slapped with sanctions in response to election VENEZUELA The White House slapped sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Monday for his “outrageous seize of power.” “Maduro is not just a bad leader. He is now a dictator,” said President Trump’s new chief of staff, John Kelly. The sanctions freeze all assets that Maduro has in the U.S. and prohibit Americans from any dealings with him. The move comes after Maduro’s regime went through with a highly controversial vote Sunday that the White House called a “farce”

and a “sham.” Venezuelans were asked to vote to replace the current legislature with a “Constituent Assembly” that would be more loyal to Maduro. The new assembly is expected to redo the country’s constitution. “By sanctioning Maduro, the United States makes clear our opposition to the policies of his regime,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Monday. The move is largely symbolic. Experts say it won’t hurt Venezuela’s economy, but it is still only the fourth time the U.S. has placed sanctions on a head of state. “This is a really big escalation in pressure,” said Elizabeth Rosenberg, a U.S. Treasury official under former President Obama.

U.S. freezes Maduro’s assets

Venezuelan President Maduro, in Caracas on Monday, celebrates the results of Sunday’s vote.

The Trump administration stopped short of imposing sanctions on Venezuela’s critical oil industry. The state-run oil company

provides much of the cash that Maduro uses to run his government. The U.S. is one of the top buyers of Venezuelan oil. Venezuela accounts for 10 percent of U.S. oil imports and is the thirdlargest source of oil for the U.S., behind Canada and Saudi Arabia. Mnuchin said the White House would “consider additional sanctions” if Maduro continues to oppress his people. One of those options is restricting Venezuelan oil from entering the U.S., but he said the top priority at the White House is to not cause any more suffering for the Venezuelan people. Protesters in Venezuela are growing increasingly bold. Over 120 have died since April in clashes with Maduro’s government.

WASHINGTON | President Trump bestows the nation’s highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, to retired Army medic James McCloughan, 71, in a White House ceremony Monday. McCloughan, of South Haven, Mich., is credited with rescuing members of his platoon from a “kill zone” despite his own serious injuries nearly 50 years ago in the Battle of Nui Yon Hill in Vietnam. Trump’s presentation of the Medal of Honor was his first.

Emails allegedly stolen from French President Macron’s campaign published to WikiLeaks

BUSINESS Discovery Communications, based in Silver Spring, said Monday it has agreed to buy Scripps Networks Interactive in a $14.6 billion deal that creates a lifestyle programming engine with a global reach. The deal called for Scripps shareholders to receive $90 a share, or about $11.9 billion, a 34 percent premium above where Scripps stock was valued when the talks were first reported nearly two weeks ago. Scripps’ debt is included in the deal, which brings its value to $14.6 billion. Some analysts had favored the deal because the companies need the scale and digital chops to negotiate with distributors. It’s a combo that promises something for everyone. Discovery is known for testosterone-driven ideas such as Shark Week, and man-vs.-nature shows such as “Deadliest Catch.” Scripps aims for the female demographic with shows those in the do-ityourself genre on the Food Network, HGTV and the Travel Channel. Discovery is also known for its cost discipline and international footprint. Its 3 billion viewers in 220 countries would complement Scripps Networks’ nascent global distribution. “When you put us together we are about 20 percent viewership on cable,” said Discovery’s chief executive, David Zaslav.

Travel ban blocks orphans IMMIGRATION Tianna Rooney has already bought the poster board for the sign she’ll wave when the 16-yearold refugee boy her family is taking in arrives in the United States. Rooney knows the exact words of welcome she’ll write on it, in the teenager’s native language, from the African country of Eritrea. But Rooney’s family is leaving the sign blank, for now. The foster son they’re waiting for is part of a small, threedecade-old U.S. program for socalled unaccompanied refugee minors that has been halted by a series of new refugee bans and travel limits imposed by the Trump administration. By blocking the program, the U.S. travel bans have stranded more than 100 refugee children who were already matched to waiting American foster families. Without parents or other adult relatives, those kids are living on their own in countries of temporary refuge, in limbo while their U.S. foster parents hope for a court ruling that will allow the children to finish their journeys.

Refugee limits imposed by Trump put in limbo a foster care program

Julie Rajagopal of San Francisco hugs her foster child, 16. He is from Eritrea.

Since the June day a refugee agency matched the Rooneys with their foster son, which turned out to be the same day of the first Supreme Court ruling barring him, “we have experienced this very unexpected ride of grief in our family,” said Rooney, a 39-year-old family therapist and mother of two from Brighton, a suburb of Detroit. Meanwhile, the boy who fled his home country at 13 to avoid widespread forced military conscription of children continues to

fend for himself on the streets in his temporary refuge in another African capital, with no phone or internet for the Rooneys to reach him to explain the delay. “There’s part of me that really hopes he knows a family wants him,” Rooney said. In San Francisco, web designer Julie Rajagopal and husband Mike Gougherty, a senior planner for a regional ferry system, are two of the lucky ones. The 16-year-old boy they are fostering also fled at 13 a lifetime

ANALYSIS

Trump administration losing links to the Republican Party The ouster of Reince Priebus as President Trump’s chief of staff last week, coupled with the departure

of forced military service in Eritrea. When he landed in March, he was among the last refugee foster children to make it into the United States. Since the ’80s, the program for orphaned refugees has brought in more than 6,000 refugee children, including 203 last year. “These are kids on their own, and struggling to survive,” said Elizabeth Foydel of the International Refugee Assistance Project. Through the program, youths eking out a living by themselves in a refugee camp or elsewhere must first come to the attention of a U.N. agency, which may choose to refer them for the U.S. foster program, especially if the children are deemed to be particularly vulnerable wherever they are now. The children must then pass U.S. security screenings and other requirements, and win a match with an American foster family or group home. But a series of Trump administration orders, and court rulings interpreting them, are now barring refugees with no close family in the U.S. That requirement shuts out the refugee children in the foster program, who have no relatives they can turn to anywhere.

Judge chides FAA about shrinking seats TRANSPORTATION In a fiery ruling Friday, a federal appeals court judge in Washington ordered the Federal Aviation Administration to look into it what she called “the Case of the Incredible Shrinking Airline Seat.” Judge Patricia Millett upbraided the FAA for “vacuous” and “vaporous” evidence that the agency previously used to argue that diminishing legroom was not a problem. It’s no secret that the big carriers have been shrinking seat space. In 2015, a passenger advocacy group called FlyersRights.org asked the FAA to put a stop to it. Airline seats were designed for people no taller than 5-foot10, and in reasonably good shape, the group argued, noting that “many Americans do not fit into this category.” It asked the FAA to impose a moratorium, preventing airlines from shrinking seats any more. The FAA said no. The court refused to order the FAA to set seat space rules. But when it came to emergency evacuations, the court agreed with the group that smaller seats might be a problem. “As a matter of basic physics, at some point seat and passenger dimensions would become so squeezed as to impede the ability of passengers to extricate themselves from their seats and get over to an aisle,” the judge wrote.

ACES TRADED

Bullpen overhaul continues

Nats add third new reliever with a trade for Twins All-Star Kintzler at the deadline MLB Washington padded its bullpen again Monday, acquiring closer Brandon Kintzler from the Twins in exchange for Class A left-hander Tyler Watson and international bonus pool money. Kintzler, who turns 33 today, was named a replacement on the AL All-Star team this year and brings a 2.78 ERA and 1.147 WHIP to the Nationals’ bullpen. The deal wasn’t announced until after the 4 p.m. deadline. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo admitted it was finalized “extremely close” to the dropdead moment, “but we finally agreed to a level of prospects and a deal that was something that appealed to us.” Watson, 20, was 6-4 with a 4.35 ERA at Low-A Hagerstown and has 98 strikeouts in 93 innings this year. Kintzler is under team control through just this season, and the Nationals will owe him roughly $1 million in prorated salary. His exact role remains to be seen, and Rizzo said he doesn’t expect

to name one man as closer yet. “We’ve got two months left in the regular season to figure out which is the best way to attack the bullpen, what are guys most comfortable in,” Rizzo said. The Nationals designated right-hander Jimmy Cordero for assignment to clear room for Kintzler on the 40-man roster. His arrival will almost certainly create a surprising logjam of veteran right-handers. Shawn Kelley is on a rehab assignment and is expected back soon. Joe Blanton, to whom the Nationals committed $4 million this season, has settled down after a rough first two months. Matt Albers has been the most reliable member of the bullpen thus far. But with Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle in the fold, and Matt Grace, Enny Romero and Oliver Perez pitching well, the Nationals have decisions to make. Washington began the final day of baseball’s uninhibited trading season having already strengthened its first-place roster. In mid-July, the Nationals

Orioles get infielder Tim Beckham from Rays for pitching prospect

Unorthodox relief man Brandon Kintzler is an unusual closer. As of Monday, he was third in the majors with 28 saves (in 32 opportunities). But, according to FanGraphs, his strikeout rate of 5.36 per nine innings ranked 160th among qualified relievers this year. Kintzler relies on soft contact, not swings and misses. That can cause late-inning angst when balls fall in, but it does contrast with the more strikeoutheavy approach of the relievers Washington added in a previous trade with Oakland: Sean Doolittle (12.65 K/9 in 28 games this year) and Ryan Madson (9.34 K/9). C.J.

traded for Athletics relievers Madson and Doolittle. On Friday, they acquired Howie Kendrick, who can play infield or outfield, from the Phillies. That move bolsters a bench that will look more formidable once injured players Jayson Werth, Trea Turner and Michael A. Taylor return. As of Monday morning, the Nationals were considering adding

more, particularly to that bullpen. Detroit’s Justin Wilson was among the small group of players to interest the Nationals in the past month, but he and catcher Alex Avila were dealt to the Cubs for prospects late Sunday night. Padres reliever Brad Hand stayed put. Cardinals reliever Trevor Rosenthal and Orioles closer Zach Britton did, too. After inconsistent showings by Erick Fedde and Edwin Jackson, the Nats still have a hole in the back of their rotation. And despite the fact that Stephen Strasburg went on the disabled list last week with a nerve impingement in his right elbow, Rizzo said the team didn’t try to deal for a starter. Washington can make deals after the nonwaiver deadline, but its targets must pass through waivers to do so. The Nats claimed lefty Matt Thornton off waivers in August 2014. They acquired lefty Marc Rzepczynski in late August last year. Both factored in their playoff bullpens. Moves could still be on the way. CHELSEA JANES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

In their boldest move to chase the World Series crown that’s eluded them for nearly 30 years, the Dodgers traded three minor leaguers to the Rangers on Monday for fourtime All-Star Yu Darvish. The 30-year-old is 6-9 with a 4.01 ERA and a WHIP of 1.168. He’s set to become a free agent after this season. (AP)

Rob Kelley grabbed the starting running back job in Week 8 of 2016.

REDSKINS After squeaking onto last season’s roster as an undrafted free agent and wresting a starting job from Matt Jones in Week 8, Washington running back Rob Kelley could have arrived at training camp in Richmond with a swelled head. As Kelley, 24, returned to work last week as the incumbent starter in a competitive running back group that includes big-bodied rookie Samaje Perine, he insisted his mindset hasn’t changed. “Every year I’ve got to make the team,” Kelley said. “This year they draft a running back. Next year they gonna draft a running back. Year after that, they’ll probably draft a running back.” That’s why he said he approaches each day as if he were still expendable. “It’s very easy to go back down to fifth string,” he said. He survived the final roster cuts at camp in 2016 after rushing for 99 yards in the preseason finale and went on to lead the team with 704 yards rushing. Formerly known as “Fat Rob,” Kelley is now listed at 6 feet and 233 pounds. He said he’s cut out fast food and gained muscle mass this offseason while shedding five pounds, which has given him more energy at practice. “You either get better or get worse,” he said. “You got to err on the side of getting better every time.” LIZ CLARKE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Majority partner: United not for sale

Erick Thohir, United’s general partner, told The Washington Post he is “open to finding a good partner to make the club better.” “If we don’t find anyone who is really good for our team, we won’t bring one in,” he said from his home in Jakarta, Indonesia. “We’re looking for someone who brings value.” Thohir denied a New York Times story that, citing anonymous sources, said he and managing general partner Jason Levien are “quietly weighing a sale of the franchise.”

Escape into exercise Working out can help you heal when grieving — and bring back your energy

FITNESS Twenty months ago, Tamara Grand experienced every mother’s greatest fear: the loss of a child. Struggling with her grief, the 49-year-old personal trainer turned to what has always been her first line of defense when dealing with stress: exercise. While nothing could fill the hole in Grand’s heart, she has found that movement makes it easier to face her grief and move forward. Robert Neimeyer, a professor of psychology at the University of Memphis whose research and practice focuses on bereavement, says that while exercise is by no means a panacea, it can play a valuable role in adapting to loss. “It provides both direct benefits to mood and health, and indirect benefits as it forces you out of isolation and into the world,” he says. A l l i s o n Gi l b er t , a New

York-based grief expert and the author of “Passed and Present,” says that what grief takes away — energy, joy, focus — exercise can give back. “Exercise allows you to come into a space where you can focus on yourself, and helps decrease the pulls on your energy,” she says. “It restores some of your buoyancy.” The link between exercise and depression, often a hallmark of grief, is well documented. George Mammen, a University of Toronto Ph.D. candidate, reviewed 25 pieces of research and concluded that moderate exercise can boost mood and help ward off depression in the long term. “Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of exercise regimens in improving mood for people who are moderately depressed,” Neimeyer says. It do esn’t end w it h t he

How much is enough?

What Duke professor Patrick Smith and others have not yet determined is the amount of exercise required to deliver mood benefits. “The jury is out on what certain threshold is necessary for benefits,” Smith wrote in the abstract of one of his studies. “We do know that [brain chemicals] are modified via exercise, leading to improved mood.” A.L.

emotional benefits, either. Neimeyer points out that fitness “pushes back” against the physical health risks of bereavement. “Research suggests that having a regular exercise routine introduces a healthy structure into life, contributing to better nutrition and sleep patterns,” he says. “In this way, exercise promotes positive outcomes and indirectly mitigates the negative impact of grief, such as eating poorly or relying on vices to perk us up or calm us down.”

Numerous studies have looked at exercise as a method for treating depression. Patrick Smith, an associate professor of psychiatry at Duke University and co-author of several studies on the topic, says that “in most head-to-head studies, exercise is equally as effective as antidepressants.” Adrienne Langelier, a licensed professional counselor in The Woodlands, Texas, says that emotional stress can make it hard to push yourself physically, but doing so should be seen as an important part of self-care. “I was scheduled to run a marathon when my grandmother was in the hospital dying,” she says. “I wrestled with running it, but in the end, pushing through allowed me to be more present for my family.” Her passion for running and ability to get out and do it helped with the intense grief she felt when her grandmother died, Langelier says. “Running filled my well instead of emptying it.”

Americans consume more watermelon in the hot summer months than in winter, which is why Congress declared last month as National Watermelon Month. Watermelon, once used to treat children with heatstroke, is 92 percent water and considered a cooling food. Eating a few slices can be equivalent to drinking an extra glass of water — not a bad idea on a sweltering summer day. It’s also extremely high in lycopene, one of the most powerful antioxidants shown to fight cancer, strokes and aging. A serving size of the fruit, or two cups, provides 25 percent of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C and 30 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A. Sounds like a universally healthy summer snack. CASEY SEIDENBERG (TWP)

DR. ANDREA BONIOR | BAGGAGE CHECK

How ’bout a little help, Grandma?! Q. My mother has not helped out with my baby as much as I

thought she would. She acts more like a guest than someone giving me a hand with her grandson. Honestly, she doesn’t seem interested in him. My husband and I would kill for a night out but she hasn’t offered to babysit, and I am afraid that if I ask she will say no and it will hurt me even more. DISAPPOINTED DAUGHTER

Your mom might be torn about becoming a grandparent. Maybe she is just terrified of stepping on your toes. Or maybe she feels her diaperduty days are over. You won’t know any of this — or whether she’s motivated or even capable of being more involved — until you talk to her. This has the potential to be hurtful to both of you, so proceed cautiously.

Put a positive spin on it, and don’t accuse. “Mom, you know you are welcome to jump in here and hold him/walk him/ take him — I wouldn’t mind if you took over a bit. We’re actually pretty exhausted.” Her reaction will open the door to a larger conversation, but be prepared: The hardest part may be reconciling your expectations with her limits.

we are likely getting married soon. But we always have the same fight: about how he lets his preteen daughter walk all over him. She and I have a good relationship but she could drive a wedge between us. Till now I have not stepped in, but I know once I am Stepmom I expect things to be different. I don’t know if he is willing to change, or accept that I will have a role in parenting. TIRED OF THE SAME FIGHT You want to marry this guy soon but you don’t know if he’ll “accept” that you’ll be a parental figure to his daughter? This is about more than a recurring fight. This is an issue of expectations, roles, boundaries, responsibilities, philosophies on discipline — everything except attitudes toward the Instant Pot (though that may play in too). Don’t even consider marriage until you can iron out how you both will navigate raising this child. Yes, there are hierarchies of “step-parents” and “parents” and “custodial parents,” but you’re right there in the mix of child-rearing. And to not be on the same page about what that mix will look like is unfair to this kid (and will likely make her behavior worse).

The Pulitzer-winning playwright had battled Lou Gehrig’s disease

1943-2017 Sam Shepard, the Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright, Oscarnominated actor and celebrated author whose plays chronicled the explosive fault lines of family and masculinity in the American West, died Thursday at age 73, a

family spokesman said Monday. Shepard died at his Kentucky home from complications related to Lou Gehrig’s disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The taciturn Shepard, who produced 44 plays and numerous books, memoirs and short stories, was one of the most influential playwrights of his generation: a plain-spoken poet of the modern frontier who combined ruggedness with lyricism.

Shepard’s Western drawl and laconic presence made him a reluctant movie star, too. He appeared in dozens of films, including Terrence Malick’s “Days of Heaven,” “Steel Magnolias” and 2012’s “Mud.” He was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as astronaut Chuck Yeager in 1983’s “The Right Stuff.” Among his most recent roles was the patriarch in Netflix’s “Bloodline.”

Shepard was best known for his influential plays and his role in the off-Broadway movement. His 1978 play “Buried Child” won the Pulitzer for drama. Two others — “True West” and “Fool for Love” — were nominated for Pulitzers as well. “I always felt like playwriting was the thread through all of it,” Shepard said in 2011. “Theater … contains everything. It can contain film. Film can’t contain theater. Music. Dance. Painting. Acting. It’s the whole deal. And it’s the most ancient. It goes back to the Druids. It was way pre-Christ. It’s the form that I feel most at home in, because of that, because of its ability to usurp everything.” JAKE COYLE (AP)

The hit show’s creators reveal the artistic road to making Season 3 TELEVISION Fans at San Diego’s Comic-Con International last month had lined up for hours to see Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, creators of Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty,” but that was nothing next to the two years it had been since Season 2 of the animated

hit debuted. So ahead of last weekend’s full return with Season 3 (after a surprise episode on April Fools’ Day), the immediate query was: What took so long? At Comic-Con, Harmon told the crowd they were afraid of letting viewers down. Turns out, their perfectionism was a direct response to the passion they’ve stoked with a show about Rick Sanchez (voiced by Roiland), a boozing, dimension-hopping scientific genius, his perpetually

nervous grandson Morty (also Roiland) and the rest of the family who are along for the trippy ride. “What usually drives me is pure joy for something stupid,”

“Game of Thrones” script, data on other HBO shows reportedly leaked after hack at the network

Roiland says. “I’m also very visual. I’ll have an idea in my head that I really can’t shake.” But it was Roiland’s visual sense that helped unmoor

Harmon from his hewing to verbal perfection. Words, to Harmon, are the essential architecture. “It was just not understanding that scripts are not blueprints,” Harmon says. “I used to think of scripts as blueprints — meaning that if you stick to them perfectly, the building will work. And if you [divert] from them, the building will be faulty.” Now, he preaches a certain freedom from such exactitude. “The monomyth is like a compass,” Harmon says. “If you’re lost in the woods, knowing which way is north is definitely better than not knowing, but it doesn’t mean you need to walk north to get where you’re going.” MICHAEL CAVNA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“It’s always nice to see John Kellys doing well. ... I am not THAT John Kelly. My Twitter avatar should be a hint that I am not THAT John Kelly.” @JOHNKELLY, the Washington Post columnist, tweeting that although his name is John Kelly, he is NOT the new White House chief of staff John Kelly. Since President Trump nominated Kelly last Friday, the Post’s Kelly’s Twitter mentions have been filling up with boos and cheers on the new appointment. For the record, THAT John Kelly, who is a former Marine general, does not have a Twitter account.

“Does anyone still watch TV? Much less, MTV ...” @RAYGIBSON, tweeting about the announcement that MTV is bringing back the iconic music video countdown show “Total Request Live.” Millennials who grew up watching the show, which ran from 1998 to 2008, probably don’t watch MTV anymore, and reactions were skeptical. “Twitter and YouTube are TRL. The reboot is gonna flop,” tweeted @amazontrollop. MTV is building a studio facing Times Square for the set, just like old times, with the show set to return in October. The original “TRL” made host Carson Daly (above, left) a star; the new “TRL” will have five co-hosts — including rapper-comedian DC Young Fly and Chicago radio host Erik Zachary. The reboot is part of the vision of MTV president Chris McCarthy, who is looking to live television to bring MTV back to popularity.

Barbour tweeted out a picture of his phone with the many enthusiastic inquiries.

people ‘THE HILLS’

The one who’s not Lauren had her baby

Do-gooders live up to reputation George Clooney’s foundation has raised more than $2 million to open seven public schools for Syrian refugee children. The Clooney Foundation for Justice is partnering with Google, HP and UNICEF to provide education for 3,000 kids in Lebanon. “They have been victims of geography and circumstance, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t hope,” George and Amal Clooney said Monday.

“The Hills” cast member Whitney Port and her husband, Tim Rosenman, welcomed their first child, a boy named Sonny Sanford, on July 27, Port announced Monday on Instagram. “Sorry I’ve been MIA for like a week! I lost my phone. Just kidding!! I made a human!” she wrote in the caption of the post, which was an image of a sign that read, “Welcome Baby Sonny” in blue paint. “I am beyond obsessed and in love and wish I could bottle this feeling for all of you out there.” Port is the second cast member of “The Hills” to welcome a child this year; the show’s star, Lauren Conrad, had her first baby July 5.
