page three Extortionists target men in affluent areas, demanding bitcoin
GETTY IMAGES
REGION Jeff Strohl’s stomach dropped when he checked his mail on July 21. “I know about the secret you are keeping from your wife and everyone else,” a mysterious letter read. “More importantly, I have evidence of what you’ve been hiding.” The letter writer, GreySquare15, threatened to expose a secret — unless Strohl wired the sender $15,750 in bitcoin. “First, it’s disbelief. Then, a sinking feeling in your stomach — you search your soul and say, ‘What have I done? What secret is actually damning?’ ” Strohl said. “Then, you recognize, I don’t have anything that’s gonna bother me if other people knew.” Strohl, who lives in Washington’s Chevy Chase neighborhood, has been happily married for 14 years and said he recognized the letter was a likely scam. After posting about it on a community listserv the next morning, he realized he was one of several residents in the area to receive similar threats in the past month.
Scammers have targeted some men in the region by sending threatening letters in the mail.
The double-sided letter, postmarked from Nashville, threatened that if Strohl didn’t pay the $15,750 “confidentiality fee” within nine days, GreySquare15 would send evidence of Strohl’s alleged wrongdoings to his wife, friends and neighbors. In a particularly cheeky paragraph, the intricate instructions on how to acquire bitcoin included a caution to work only with traders who had done at least 100 transactions and had an approval rating of at least
“They leave it up to you to figure out what secret is so damning and you fill in the blanks.” JEFF STROHL, who was targeted by scammers with a letter that threatened to reveal his “secret” if he did not wire the sender thousands of dollars in bitcoin. “Psychologically, it’s really well put together,” Strohl said of the scam.
99 percent “to avoid being scammed.” Geoff Jacobi, who is also a member of the Chevy Chase listserv and lives near the District, said he got a letter July 19 threatening to make known a secret he’d been hiding from his wife — from whom he’s been divorced seven years. Even so, Jacobi said the letter’s convincing language made him think to himself: “Have I done anything?” “I’m wary of scammers but my first reaction was, ‘Wow, this is kind of well-written,’ ” Jacobi said, comparing the letter to “Nigerian Prince” scams and other extortion attempts. These scammers tend to target higher-income communities — including some in the Washington and Northern Virginia area, said Andrew Ames, a spokesman in the FBI’s Washington field office. Flooding an area with letters ramps up the chance of fooling at least one victim, he added. Ames said people should never pay off a scammer. Instead, he advised victims to contact local law enforcement and report the incident to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. MICHAEL

National Zoo says goodbye to tortoise Alex the tortoise, one of the National Zoo’s oldest and largest animals, died Tuesday after caretakers found fluid inside his shell and around his heart. Zookeepers euthanized the 100-year-old Aldabra tortoise, who arrived at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in 1956 when he was about 30 years old. Alex was known as a social and personable tortoise, and was considered an “ambassador” for his species, experts said. Zookeepers said Alex was a visitor favorite during daily demonstrations at the reptile center. (TWP)

CHARLOTTESVILLE In Charlottesville on Sunday, the mother of a woman killed when a car plowed into a crowd of counter-protesters at a white nationalist rally last summer said there’s much healing to do a year after the violence. Heather Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, laid flowers at a makeshift memorial at the site of the attack in downtown Charlottesville. With a crowd gathered around her, she thanked them for coming to remember her daughter but also acknowledged the dozens of others injured and the two state troopers killed when a helicopter crashed that day. “There’s so much healing to do,” Bro, above, said. “We have a huge racial problem in our city and in our country. We have got to fix this or we’ll be right back here in no time.” City officials said four people were arrested. Two arrests stemmed from a confrontation near a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. when a man stopped to salute the statue and a Charlottesville woman confronted him and a physical altercation took place, officials said. Earlier in the day, more than 200 people gathered in a park to protest racism and mark the anniversary. The group sang songs and listened to speakers, among them Courtney Commander, a friend of Heyer’s who was with her when she was killed. “She is with me today, too,” Commander said. SARAH RANKIN
Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler leads a small group of white nationalists Sunday during a rally in D.C.
JACQUELYN MARTIN (AP)
THE DISTRICT A short and sparsely attended white nationalist rally broke up late Sunday as police ushered the attendees into white vans and drove them away from a crowd of thousands of angry protesters in downtown Washington. The rally’s end followed a day in which large numbers of police officers sought — successfully, for the most part — to keep the two sides from clashing in a repeat of last year’s deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville. The roughly two dozen demonstrators at the “Unite the Right 2” rally, who came to deliver a message of “white civil rights” in an overwhelmingly liberal city, were angrily denounced by those who flocked to Lafayette Square. A brief speech by rally organizer Jason Kessler — also one of the lead organizers of last year’s rally — was drowned out by those massed around him. A heavy police presence kept them separated from the white nationalist demonstrators, although black-clad protesters did throw empty plastic bottles at Kessler’s group at one point before they were stopped by police. As evening came on and rain began to fall, tensions rose between counter-protesters and police, even as supporters of the white supremacist rally were long gone from downtown D.C. The Antifa group launched flares and fireworks toward the White House compound. The white supremacist gathering came on the anniversary of the Charlottesville violence, which killed an anti-racist protester, Heather Heyer, and took the lives of two Virginia State troopers whose helicopter crashed. Along the route and at the park, the rallygoers were met by thousands of anti-racist

protesters and activists who turned out to counter the message of Kessler and his group. Close to a thousand protesters were at Freedom Plaza by midafternoon, a few blocks away from Lafayette Park, for an afternoon rally of speeches and music. The Rev. Graylan Hagler was the rally’s first speaker. “This
place, this city, this country is a country of inclusivity and not white supremacy,” he told the crowd in a booming voice. “We are people that stand up for racial justice and racial inclusivity,” he added. “We will not be silenced.” Elsewhere, about 200 people from various groups marched to just outside Lafayette Park

shouting, “We are not afraid” and “Our streets.” Police reported no arrests or skirmishes in the District. For some of the protesters, the focus was less on the white supremacist rally than on President Trump. Holding a “Dump Trump” sign, Mike Holey, 67, of Baltimore, said he’s been particularly frustrated by what he called the president’s hesitation to denounce white supremacy and neo-Nazism. He pointed to Trump’s statement that there was “blame on both sides” after violence broke out at the Unite the Right rally last year. Benjamin Garrett, a Vietnam War veteran who lives in Maryland, raised a sign saying, “Trump is a traitor” in block capital letters. “He gives these people permission,” Garrett said. “Trump is a blatant racist.” JOE HEIM,

Officer suspended after punching video released
Jealous seeks to take down RGA ads calling him socialist
Federal officials have ordered that construction be halted on the Atlantic Coast pipeline, days after a federal appeals court threw out two key permits for building the 600-mile natural gas pipeline. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission announced the order in a letter Friday to Dominion Energy, the project’s lead developer. Last week, a three-judge panel concluded that a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permit was “arbitrary and capricious” regarding its effect on five threatened or endangered species. The pipeline is slated to start in West Virginia and run through Virginia and North Carolina. (AP)
A Baltimore police officer was suspended Saturday after a video surfaced showing him repeatedly punching a black man. The officer, who is also black, can be seen shoving the man in the chest before the officer starts throwing punches. Warren Brown, an attorney for the man who was knocked down, identified his client as Dashawn McGrier. Brown said his client faces charges for allegedly assaulting the officer in June, charges McGrier is contesting in court. Brown said the officer saw McGrier on Saturday and tried to provoke him as a result of their June encounter. Police said an investigation is underway. (AP)

Looking ahead with dread Alexandria shops are already bracing for a summer without Metro
Fibre Space owner Danielle Romanetti, left, helps a customer choosing yarn.
JASON HORNICK PHOTOS (FOR EXPRESS)
ALEXANDRIA Business usually picks up around this time of year at Fibre Space, Danielle Romanetti’s Alexandria yarn shop. The fall fashions are coming out, and while autumn may seem a long way off during these muggy dog days, it’s not too early to start knitting. So people are coming in to her Prince Street store to buy whites and beiges for scarves and sweaters and the cowls that are supposed to be in fashion. But Romanetti is already thinking beyond this year’s fashions. Like a lot of business owners near Metro stations in Alexandria, she’s thinking ahead to next summer, and to a massive Metro rebuilding project that could be even more disruptive than the current closure of two Red Line stations and simultaneous track work on the Orange, Blue and Silver lines. Six Metro stations will be closed for 98 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day next year as Metro rebuilds crumbling platforms at Braddock Road, Eisenhower Avenue, Huntington, Van Dorn Street, Franconia-Springfield and King St-Old Town, which is just a few blocks from Fibre Space. No trains will run south of Reagan National Airport during the shutdown, including to Braddock Road, where Rob Krupicka worries how his Sugar Shack Donuts shop will survive a summer without commuters loading up on sugar and caffeine before work. “Shutting down the Metro shuts down all the people who come to the store every day,” he said. He’s thinking of cutting back on hours, closing some days or “borrowing my way through

the summer, which is not easy for a small business to do,” he said. “But I’m going to have to do something.” At Joe Theismann’s Restaurant near King St-Old Town, manager Sarah Swenson said she’s worried about how the workers who Metro over from Pentagon City for lunch will be able to get there. And at Fibre Space, Romanetti lamented that the shutdown will come just when knitters will be

coming in to get whichever colors are considered fashion-forward next year. She’s already taken out a line of credit to get her through next summer, and she’s encouraging other stores in the area’s Boutique Row to start preparing as well. “Certainly it’s going to be a daunting situation for residents, visitors and tourists,” said Alexandria Mayor Allison Silberberg. “But safety comes first.” Metro says shutting down all service past the airport and letting crews work around the clock will get the project finished 94 percent faster than if it tried to keep the stations open and work only at night. Metro hasn’t yet said what it plans to do to get people around. “There will be an entire rollout of the transportation plan associated with that work, but it is not something we are prepared to announce at this early date,” Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said. To be fair, the work is still months away. But Romanetti says she needs to know more soon about how bad it’s going to be. Should she budget for Ubers so her employees can get to work? “If it’s going to take two hours to get to work, I’ve got to do something,” she said. “I can’t do that to them.” Teddy Nagle, who works behind the counter, also wants to know. He said it takes him 20 minutes to get to work from Gallery Place on the Metro. He figures he’ll still be able to get as far as the airport during the shutdown. But how will he get the rest of the way? “Do I need to start budgeting to buy a bike?” he said. KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

Metro riders greet Kessler with contempt THE DISTRICT Escorted by police in riot gear, Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler and his 20 to 30 supporters arrived in D.C. on Sunday after boarding a train at the Vienna Metro station. Before boarding, Kessler spoke to several reporters. He said he and his group were there to promote free speech and to protest “white civil rights abuses.” The train carrying Kessler (and with several police officers in each car) made stops along the way from Vienna toward Foggy Bottom. At Clarendon station, officers on the platform warned waiting riders that the coming train was carrying Unite the Right participants, and directed people to board at the front of the train, away from Kessler’s car at the back. Protesters awaited the train when it arrived at Foggy Bottom station, but they were separated from Kessler by about 60 feet, with police officers instructing the protesters that they weren’t allowed to get any closer. When Kessler emerged from the car, surrounded by a swarm of photographers, the protesters started booing, yelling, “F--- you,” and chanting, “Black Lives Matter.” Once the white supremacist group went up the escalator and past the fare gates, the people standing on the platform could hear a slow rumble of screams and yells erupt from the people waiting at the surface.

End of the regulatory state? White House counts on Kavanaugh in battle against federal agencies
J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE (AP)
COURTS The White House did not mince words when it introduced Judge Brett Kavanaugh to business and industry leaders on the occasion of his nomination to the Supreme Court this summer. “Judge Kavanaugh has overruled federal agency action 75 times,” the administration said in a one-page unsigned memo touting what it considered the highlights of Kavanaugh’s 12 years as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. “Judge Kavanaugh protects American businesses from illegal job-killing regulation,” the memo said. “Judge Kavanaugh helped kill President Obama’s most destructive new environmental rules.” Hot-button social issues such as abortion and race have so far dominated the debate about Kavanaugh’s nomination, but there is no more important issue to the Trump administration than bringing to heel the federal agencies and regulatory entities that, in Kavanaugh’s words, form “a headless fourth branch of the U.S. Government.” “The ever-growing, unaccountable administrative state is a direct threat to individual liberty,” White House Counsel Donald McGahn said in a speech to the conservative Federalist Society in the fall. He has said
Judge Brett Kavanaugh has routinely ruled against the EPA’s efforts.
the Trump administration’s efforts to strike down government regulations will be meaningless without judges who will “stand strong.” Kavanaugh, 53, for years has been an influential judicial voice questioning the administrative state, with a string of opinions that would sharply limit the power of federal agencies. His nomination concerns some who say the agencies’ rulemaking powers protect the public. “This is the end of the regulatory state as we know it,” said Rena Steinzor, a University of Maryland law professor who
specializes in administrative law. “If he goes up there, they will never find a regulation they find acceptable. And they’re going to be making the policy.” Kavanaugh’s confirmation, for instance, could call into question the Supreme Court’s 5-to-4 ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA that in 2007 said greenhouse gases blamed for global warming could be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The justice he would replace, Anthony Kennedy, joined the court’s liberals to form the slim majority. The ruling opened a new front for EPA regulation, but
Kavanaugh has routinely ruled against the agency’s efforts. Julia Stein, a University of California at Los Angeles law professor who specializes in environmental law, wrote in an analysis that Kavanaugh’s rulings would limit the agency’s efforts in the face of congressional gridlock. “In a world where comprehensive climate change legislation appears to be a long way off, a Justice Kavanaugh would likely present a hurdle to future agency attempts to regulate climate change within the existing statutory framework,” she wrote. Kavanaugh has participated in more than 300 opinions, about a third of them dealing with the scope of regulatory agencies. He is especially concerned with what is called the “major rules doctrine.” Congressional authorization would be needed for any regulation of vast economic or political significance — a major rule. Ian Fein, a lawyer with the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the doctrine would “turn parts of administrative law on its head and strip agencies of power they currently have under numerous statutes to deal with problems that arise in different areas.” Fein said, “Congress passes laws that establish agencies that deal with new problems that arise. Under Kavanaugh, agencies would not be able to use existing power. They would have to go to Congress to enact new laws.” ROBERT BARNES AND STEVEN MUFSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Vessels may be hesitant to pick up migrants after nations like Italy and Malta have refused to let the boats dock.
Rescuees reported five boats that did not offer them assistance MEDITERRANEAN SEA Migrants in distress at sea have told their rescuers that several ships passed them by without offering assistance, a European aid group said Sunday while seeking safe harbor for a rescue vessel with 141 migrants aboard. SOS Mediterranee said in a statement that due to the recent refusal of Italy and Malta to let rescue vessels carrying migrants dock, ships might be now unwilling to get involved, fearing they will be stranded with migrants aboard and denied a port to disembark them.

chartered ship Aquarius, which it operates in partnership with Doctors Without Borders, rescued 141 people in waters off Libya. Of them, 25 were found adrift on a small wooden boat that had no motor and was believed to have been at sea for about 35 hours, the group said. The other 116 people, including 67 unaccompanied minors, were rescued later that day, it said. Nearly three-quarters of those rescued came from Somalia and Eritrea. Many migrants recounted how they were “held in inhumane conditions in Libya,” where human traffickers are based, the aid group aid. It said Libya’s rescue coordination authorities wouldn’t provide the Aquarius with “a place of safety” and that they asked it to
request safe harbor from another country’s authorities. The Aquarius was sailing north in the Mediterranean on Sunday in hopes of receiving docking permission from another country. SOS Mediterranee said that “in a disturbing development, rescued people on board told our teams they encountered five different ships which did not offer them assistance before they were rescued by Aquarius.” Doctors Without Borders project coordinator Aloys Vimard, who is aboard the Aquarius, said, “The very principle of rendering assistance to persons in distress at sea is now at stake. Ships might be unwilling to respond to those in distress due to the high risk of being stranded and denied a place of safety.” FRANCES D’EMILIO (AP)

Andrew Cuomo recounted a treasured memory of the time his family retrieved an eagle feather from Saranac Lake and kept it after one of the beautiful birds swooped near his canoe. In telling the story, the Democrat was unknowingly confessing a crime. A 1940 federal law prohibits nonNative Americans from possessing bald eagle parts, including feathers. Cuomo spokesman Richard Azzopardi said the family had been unaware of the law. “We have two options, put it back in the river or donate it to a US Fish and Wildlife repository,” Azzopardi wrote in an email. “We’ll do one or the other.” (AP)

Omarosa plays secret taping of Kelly firing her POLITICS Former presidential adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman said Sunday she secretly recorded conversations she had in the White House, including her firing by chief of staff John Kelly in the Situation Room. Parts of her conversation with Kelly were played on the air when she appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” to promote her new book, “Unhinged,” which will be released next week. In her book, Manigault Newman paints a damning picture of President Trump, including claiming without evidence that tapes exist of him using the N-word as he filmed his “The Apprentice” reality series, on which she co-starred. Manigault Newman said in the book that she had not personally heard the recording. But she told Chuck Todd on Sunday that, after the book had closed, she was able to hear one. But the other recording could prove equally explosive.

U.S. advising Afghan forces in battle for eastern city
Blast in northern Syria kills at least 36; cause unclear
NBC reporter’s Twitter hijacked by Turkish hackers
The U.S. has sent military advisers to aid Afghan forces in Ghazni, where they were struggling on Sunday to regain full control three days after the Taliban launched a massive assault on the eastern city. The assault was a major show of force by the Taliban, which had infiltrated deep into the city and attacked from several directions. The U.S.-led NATO mission has carried out airstrikes in support of Afghan forces. Lt. Col. Martin O’Donnell, a spokesman for U.S. forces there, said Afghan forces were engaged in a “cleanup operation,� while acknowledging for the first time that “some U.S. advisers were on the ground.� (AP)
An explosion in northern Syria killed at least 36 people Sunday and wounded many others, but the cause wasn’t immediately known, the opposition-run Syrian Civil Defense, also known as the White Helmets, said. The blast, which occurred in the village of Sarmada near the Turkish border, collapsed two five-story buildings. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 39, including 21 women and children. The Observatory said an arms depot in the basement of a building had detonated. The depot was run by a dealer close to the al-Qaida-linked Levant Liberation Committee. (AP)
The Twitter account of NBC national correspondent Peter Alexander was hijacked by hackers claiming to represent Turkey’s “cyber army� for at least a half-hour Sunday morning. “Mr Trump, we will tear down blood vessels of those who are hostiles to TURKIYE. Be wise and learn about Turkish people in history,� one tweet read. The hackers also posted messages in support of Turkey and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. An account under the name Ayyildiz Tim claimed responsibility. In January, the group hacked the accounts of ex-Fox News commentators Greta Van Susteren and Eric Bolling.

Aviation’s inside threat Hijacker’s plane heist highlights the danger employees can pose for commercial travel
Media to unite against Trump’s ‘enemy’ claims
rough me up if I try and land there,” Russell responded, later adding, “This is probably jail time for life, huh?” Russell later said: “I’ve got a lot of people that care about me. It’s going to disappoint them to hear that I did this. ... Just a broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess.” Russell went by “Beebo” on social media. On Facebook, he said he was from Wasilla, Alaska, lived in Sumner, Wash., and was married in 2012. In a humorous YouTube video he posted last year, he talked about his job and included videos and photos of his various travels. “I lift a lot of bags. Like a lot of bags. So many bags,” he said. Russell’s family said in a statement that they are stunned and heartbroken. They said that it’s clear Russell didn’t intend to harm anyone and “he was right in saying that there are so many people who loved him.”
MEDIA For most of the past 19 months, President Trump’s war of words with U.S. news organizations has been more of a one-sided barrage — at least according to The Boston Globe’s editorial board. Trump labeled the news media “the enemy of the American people” a month after taking the oath of office. In the year that followed, a CNN analysis concluded, he used the word “fake” — as in “fake news,” “fake stories,” “fake media” or “fake polls” — more than 400 times. Now, the editorial board of The Boston Globe is proposing that U.S. newspapers express their disdain for Trump’s rhetoric on Aug. 16 with the best weapon they have: their collective voice. The rally calls for opinion writers on editorial boards to produce independent pieces about Trump’s attacks on the media. The Globe told CNN on Saturday that more than 100 news organizations have agreed — from large metropolitan daily newspapers such as the Miami Herald and Denver Post to small weekly newspapers. The Globe’s appeal is limited to newspaper opinion writers, who operate independently from news reporters and editors. The Post editorial board has previously responded to Trump’s attacks on news organizations, but editorial page editor Fred Hiatt said Saturday the board will not participate in the organized response.

Smoke rises from the site on Ketron Island in Washington state where a Horizon employee crashed a stolen plane on Friday.
service agent. His job included towing and pushing aircraft for takeoff and gate approach, deicing them and handling baggage. Officials said he had clearance to be among aircraft, but that to their knowledge, he wasn’t a licensed pilot. He took the empty plane from a maintenance area. Authorities said he used a tractor to rotate the plane 180 degrees, positioning it so that he could taxi toward a runway. They said it’s not clear whether he had ever taken flight lessons or used flight simulators, or where he gained the skills to take off. The plane didn’t require a key, but it did require buttons and switches to be activated in a particular order. “[Friday’s] event is going to push us to learn what we can from this tragedy so that we can ensure this does not happen again at Alaska Air Group or at any other airline,” said Brad Tilden, CEO of Alaska Airlines. Russell could be heard on audio
TED S. WARREN (AP)
TRANSPORTATION The theft of an empty plane by an airline worker who performed dangerous loops before crashing into a remote island in Puget Sound illustrated what aviation experts have long known: One of the biggest potential perils for commercial air travel is airline or airport employees causing mayhem. “The greatest threat we have to aviation is the insider threat,” said Erroll Southers, a former FBI agent and transportation security expert. “Here we have an employee who was vetted to the level to have access to the aircraft and had a skill set proficient enough to take off with that plane.” Video showed the Horizon Air Q400, a turboprop plane that seats 76 people, doing large loops and other dangerous maneuvers as the sun set on Puget Sound. The flight lasted about 75 minutes, and ended Friday night when the plane crashed into the small island after being chased by military jets. The two F-15C aircraft scrambled from Portland didn’t fire on the plane, authorities said. Southers said the man could have caused mass destruction. “If he had the skill set to do loops with a plane like this, he certainly had the capacity to fly it into a building and kill people on the ground,” he said. The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Sunday that Richard Russell had died in the fiery wreckage, but whether the crash was deliberate or accidental was one of several topics remaining for investigators. Russell, a 3 ½-year employee of Horizon — a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group — worked as a ground
Developments Investigators are piecing together how an airline ground agent stole an empty commercial airplane, took off from Sea-Tac International Airport and crashed into tiny Ketron Island, southwest of Tacoma, Wash. Video showed fiery flames amid trees on the island, which is sparsely populated and only accessible by ferry. No structures on the ground were damaged by the plane. Investigators expect they will be able to recover both the cockpit voice recorder and the event data recorder from the plane. (AP)

The entire Maryland football staff and university president Wallace Loh should be fired as soon as a school-commissioned external review of the death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair’s death concludes. No one deserves a second chance after an ESPN report published Friday detailed a program in which coach DJ Durkin and his staff have humiliated, intimidated and overworked players. In a Saturday letter to trustees, faculty, students and alumni, Loh said he intends to hire an outside expert to perform a “comprehensive examination of our coaching practices.” There’s a teachable moment here for sure, but the current administration can’t be allowed to implement the lessons. Not when a young man is dead at 19. Maryland placed Durkin, strength and conditioning coach Rick Court and two members of the athletic training department on administrative leave Saturday. ESPN’s report shared players’ examples of widespread mistreatment and cited an investigation led by the McNair family’s lawyers that pointed to mishandling of McNair during conditioning drills that led to heatstroke on May 29 and his
death 15 days later. The external review of McNair’s treatment is expected to be released Sept. 15. If the reports of player abuse prove true, Durkin’s contract should be terminated without $1 in severance pay. Loh shouldn’t get a pass, either. He has micromanaged sports throughout his eight-year tenure, selling the school’s athletics to the Big Ten for more TV money. If leaving the ACC was such a good deal, why did Loh do it in secret? Because alumni would have objected. Loh has done a good job elevating Maryland’s education status, but any goodwill is lost after a studentathlete’s death. Maryland’s board of regents should fire Loh or force him to resign. Even athletic director Damon Evans should quit. He spent about eight months overseeing the football program as interim AD before being promoted in June. As head of the department, Evans should have known how football players were being treated. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada is slated to lead Maryland for its Sept. 1 opener against Texas at FedEx Field. But this whole staff is tainted now, and the Terps would be better off replacing all the coaches. Maybe former coach Ralph Friedgen could be persuaded to oversee one season. It doesn’t matter how many
WASHINGTON POST AND GETTY IMAGES
Toxic Terrapins: Durkin and Loh should be fired
Maryland athletic director Damon Evans, middle, announced Saturday that coach DJ Durkin, top, was going on leave. President Wallace Loh, bottom, intends to launch an external review of the team’s coaching culture.
Alleged mistreatment According to ESPN, players and people close to the program said DJ Durkin’s staff used fear and humiliation as coaching tools. Here are a few allegations in the report. Out-of-control assistant: Strength coach Rick Court was Durkin’s first call when he got the Maryland job in 2015. Court berated players with belittling and obscene language, threw small weights at them and overworked players. Verbal abuse: Players were subject to rants questioning their masculinity, and one player was verbally demeaned after passing out during a drill. Punishment through food: A former player who was overweight was forced to eat candy bars while watching teammates work out, and another trying to gain weight was forced to eat until he vomited. (EXPRESS)
Lawyer: McNair family likely to sue Maryland in federal court after external review
wins a massive turnover might cost the team. This tragedy requires a total reboot. What parent in their right mind would let their son sign a letter of intent to come to College Park under these conditions? As Maryland learned after Len Bias’ death in 1986, scandals like this leave a black mark on the entire school. A player dying of heatstroke under the school’s watch is unforgiveable. The abuse alleged in the reports is unforgiveable. Coaches always say they’re educators in charge of helping young men create better lives, not just getting them to the NFL. Durkin and his staff failed miserably. Loh allowed the environment to fester. Now it’s time for both to get out.
Based on interviews with sources inside the Maryland football team, ESPN reported Saturday that offensive lineman Jordan McNair, below, had trouble standing during sprints, was forced to complete a workout and arrived at the hospital with a body temperature of 106 degrees on May 29 before dying on June 13. The Mayo Clinic says the threshold for heatstroke is 104 degrees. Billy Murphy, the McNair family’s attorney, told ESPN that the player had a seizure on the field at 5 p.m. A call to 911 wasn’t made until 5:58, ESPN reported. A Maryland statement said no coach or trainer reported a seizure at 5. Murphy said the delay was critical, and the 106 temperature indicates nothing was done to cool down McNair. (AP)

BACKUP PLAN
Brooks Koepka became just the fifth player in history to win U.S. Open and PGA championships in the same year.

Browns keep QB Mayfield behind Taylor
Koepka claims second major title of the year U.S. Open winner holds off Woods, Scott to win the PGA Championship GOLF Brooks Koepka is impossible to overlook now, winning the PGA Championship in St. Louis on Sunday with machine-like precision to go along with his back-to-back U.S. Open titles. And it still felt like he was the second billing to Tiger Woods. With roars for Woods unheard anywhere this side of Augusta National, Koepka kept his cool and ran off two birdies on the back nine at Bellerive right after Woods closed within one shot. Koepka closed with a 4-under 66 for a two-shot victory, making him only the fifth player to win
the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same year. Even with two bogeys, Woods shot 64 for his lowest final round in a major. It was his seventh runner-up finish. “I played hard,” Woods said, with Koepka near the end. “I made a bit of a run. It looks like I’m going to come up a little short.” Koepka was responsible for that. After wasting one chance to put it away, Koepka kept attacking flags and ran in birdie putts of 10 feet on No. 15 and 7 feet on No. 16 to end the drama. He tapped in for par on the final hole to set the PGA Championship scoring record at 264. It also tied the major championship record that Henrik Stenson set at Royal Troon two
years ago in the British Open. Adam Scott hung around by making big putts, just like he hoped, and was tied for the lead until Koepka’s birdies. They both missed 6-foot birdies on the 17th, and Scott had to settle for third when he bogeyed the final hole for a 67. The St. Louis fans waited 17 years to see Woods, and he delivered a performance that took golf back in time. Without hitting a fairway on the front nine, Woods cut the four-shot deficit to two. Dialed in on the back nine, he hit his approach to a foot on the 15th hole to get within one shot. Koepka heard it all and answered with great shots of his own, finally converting the birdies to pull away. DOUG FERGUSON (AP)
Despite Baker Mayfield’s stellar performance in his NFL preseason debut, the Browns are not yet moving the No. 1 overall pick into the starting lineup ahead of Tyrod Taylor. “National hype,” quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese said Sunday. “We have our plan, we’re sticking to it, and when it changes we’ll all know.” Mayfield, below, won over doubters Thursday in a 20-10 win over the Giants. The Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma threw two touchdown passes and showed pocket poise and awareness while completing 11-of-20 passes for 212 yards. Taylor went 5-for-5 for 99 yards in two series. (AP)

On Saturday, Ledecky had her closest international win in the 400. Australia’s Ariarne Titmus, 17, finished just 1.16 seconds behind Ledecky. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Guice’s torn ACL hits Thompson especially hard REDSKINS Chris Thompson sniffled as he spoke, trying in vain to steady his voice. But it was too late. There was nothing the Redskins’ running back could do but cry. Nine months after mulling his own season-ending injury, Thompson found himself reeling from the sudden absence of Derrius Guice, above, the promising rookie rusher who tore the ACL in his left knee Thursday night in Washington’s preseason opener. “This is my first time ever shedding tears for a player,” Thompson said Saturday, roughly 24 hours after an MRI exam revealed Guice’s injury. “Our group, we’ve come so close to each other in such a short period of time. … I feel like that’s my little brother.” Washington officially placed Guice on injured reserve, along with tight end Manasseh Garner, who also tore an ACL in a 26-17 loss to the Patriots. On the pivotal play that cost Guice his season — a 34-yard first-quarter run, complete with a stiff arm and a spin move — the rookie showcased the attributes that made his selection at No. 59 overall look like a steal. Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Saturday the team had no plans to sign a veteran back. “We’re pretty good at the running back spot,” he said. Thompson, Rob Kelley, Samaje Perine, Kapri Bibbs, Byron Marshall and Martez Carter — Guice’s roommate — are the remaining backs. (TWP)

‘Insatiable’ isn’t worth the outrage TV REVIEW Netflix’s “Insatiable” — a ghastly dramedy about a manipulative Georgia teenager who gets swept into the melodramatic vortex of the local beauty pageant scene — probably didn’t deserve a full review. In the peak TV glut, sometimes no review is the review. A few minutes into the first episode, it’s clear that “Insatiable” isn’t worth anybody’s time or words. Yet here we are, having to say something, mostly because 100,000-plus people were moved, after seeing a trailer for the series earlier this summer, to sign one of those utterly useless online petitions and cry out from the bottomless pit of Twitter, demanding (demanding!) that Netflix pre-empt “Insatiable” and never stream it. The show’s alleged crime? Egregious fat-shaming, vis-a-vis
its main character, Patty (Debby Ryan), a socially ostracized, overweight high school student. Patty soon undergoes an implausible transformation, after she’s injured in a fistfight with a homeless man in front of a convenience store. While her jaw is wired shut for a few months, the pounds melt away. At her trial for assault, Patty’s attorney, Bob Armstrong (Dallas Roberts), is smitten with his client’s newfound va-va-voom. Bob, you see, is a pageant coach — married to a Southern belle (Alyssa Milano), yet flouncy and flamboyant in his every step and swish. The show specializes in the easiest forms of scripted cruelty and snark. The fat-shaming, such that it even exists, is brief and nowhere nearly as harmful as the middling idiocy of the entire effort. If you’re watching this, you really need better things to do. As for the protest, fat lotta good that did — the show premiered Friday, with all 13 episodes now available. The show’s

2 NETFLIX/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION
Don’t bother watching — or getting upset by — Netflix’s new dramedy
‘Minding the Gap’
Debby Ryan plays a high school student who gets roped into the warped world of local beauty pageants in the Netflix dramedy series “Insatiable.”
More mediocrity “Insatiable” was first ordered by The CW broadcast network, which wisely passed on airing it, at which point Netflix snatched it up. By design, Netflix has little interest in developing anything like a house style or sense of smell for the many half-okay series it throws our way every month. Instead, anything and everything goes. H.S.
creator, Lauren Gussis, asked viewers to hold off their outrage until they’d at least seen it. And it’s true that if you tilt the angle slightly, “Insatiable” can come across as a wry take on pageant
culture — including its warped beauty standards. A number of salient points get lost in an online mini-riot that calls for censorship. One is that television is still television, even and especially at a time when there are hundreds of other shows to choose from. Also, most devices still come with a function that resembles an off button. People have been not-watching some shows, on principle, for as long as the medium has been around. It’s time for the easily offended to learn that skill as well. No comment is the comment. What could be worse for a show than to be ignored?

The domestic box office take for “The Meg,” which opened well above expectations, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Jason Statham thriller also debuted well overseas, totaling $96.8 million internationally.

Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed “BlacKkKlansman” opened strongly with $10.8 million, marking the director’s best debut since “Inside Man” in 2006.

It is the (fictional) trial of the century. The accused murderer is Lavinia PeckFoster (Kristin Chenoweth), the beloved heiress who’s paid for nearly everything in the town of East Peck, S.C., including the police uniforms (but also seems to be flat broke). A cop pulled her over to issue a warning for going 95 mph in a 30 mph zone, accidentally opened her car trunk and found the body of her husband stuffed in a suitcase. “Put it in the warning,” she says. But he arrests her on account of murder being illegal. The case unfolds on Season 2 of NBC’s “Trial & Error,” a delightfully wackadoodle spoof of TV’s obsession with crime documentaries. The series airs at 9 p.m. on Thursdays. To defend herself, PeckFoster hires eager and earnest lawyer Josh Segal (Nicholas D’Agosto). His rather bizarre staff includes the moonlighting cop Dwayne Reed (Steven Boyer), who shot off his pinky toe during a school demo of how to handle a Glock 17, and sweet-natured researcher
Anne Flatch (Sherri Shepherd), who sometimes spontaneously combusts. Presiding over the trial is Judge Alexander Kamiltow (yeah, just say it out loud). Played by Joel McCrary, he speaks in an inaudible Donald Duck voice that you and I and attorney Segal (who is not a native Pecker) cannot understand but that the townsfolk have no problem with. Because this is a show that believes in maximum joke possibilities, a podcast called “M-Towne” — an homage to the 2017 hit podcast “STown” — is covering the trial. The best thing about this season is the transcendently nutty performance by Chenoweth as Lavinia, who at one point enters the courtroom and trills, “I bought everyone scarves!” Meanwhile, there is a tragedy to ponder more tragic than the death of Lavinia’s husband: NBC has passed on renewing the series. We fans must utter a gilded prayer that another platform will step in so “Trial & Error” does not become a dead body stuffed in a suitcase.

“If you’re the next Bond, it will be the first Bond film I ever see.” @JOAEMP, tweeting at Idris Elba, who tweeted what seemed to be a hint that he may play James Bond in an upcoming film. Early Sunday, Elba tweeted a photo of himself with the text: “My name’s Elba, Idris Elba.” Elba is a favorite to replace Daniel Craig in the iconic role. Craig has said that the 25th “Bond” film, which is set for release in 2019, will be his last appearance as the character. Fans such as @lynsclo tweeted at Elba: “Please be 007. Don’t tease us like this, get that contract signed!!”
“Elizabeth Warren loving ‘Ballers’ is the best thing about ‘Ballers’ by a rather enormous margin.” @AMANDACUDA, joking about Elizabeth Warren’s apparent
love of “Ballers,” the HBO sports comedy starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Season 4 of “Ballers” returned to HBO on Sunday night. Warren tweeted Friday, “To all the reporters tweeting at me about the season premiere of ‘Ballers’ on Sunday night at 10 p.m. ET like I haven’t had this date saved on my calendar for months: I KNOW.” Some people made fun of Warren’s taste in HBO series: “Elizabeth Warren is the only person I know or know of who watches ‘Ballers,’ ” @MattZeitlin tweeted.
“Twitch is dominated by dudes who play with other dudes. Ninja ... could do a lot to change that perception. ... But he’d have to really commit to it, and he doesn’t seem to care enough.” @VAHN16, tweeting about popular
Twitch streamer Ninja, who told Polygon in a recent interview that he doesn’t play video games with female streamers to avoid rumors that could affect his relationship with his wife. “The only way to avoid that [gossip] is to not play with them at all,” Ninja said. Some fans didn’t love his explanation.
“Honestly I think even I was dissed somewhere in ‘Barbie Dreams.’ I don’t even know.” @TONYROMM, a Washington Post
reporter, wondering if he was personally called out by Nicki Minaj on her new track “Barbie Dreams.” The song takes aim at a lot of rappers, including 50 Cent, Drake and Young Thug. Minaj says it’s all in good fun. “You guys know ‘Barbie Dreams’ is not a diss, right?” she said on Apple’s Beats 1 radio. “I said things about people who I know can take a joke and won’t be emotional about it.”

You want a little more information today, but it may not be completely necessary to what you have to do either at work or at home.
TODAY: There’s a chance it will be more active than Sunday, with a few rounds of scattered showers and storms possible throughout the day. Heavy rain and flooding is a risk with any storms that move through. Skies will remain partly to mostly cloudy with highs reaching the mid 80s. Surely, it won’t be the nicest start to the workweek.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s time for you to make a move, one way or the other. Sitting and waiting for this to happen is not the way to progress. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re eager to be moving on from where you currently are to a place that affords you greater opportunity — both personally and professionally.
