MOUNT VERNON Chopping cherry trees is not the only horticultural myth surrounding our most famous Founding Father — slacker culture has long reveled in the tenuous link between George Washington and marijuana.

As with many myths, though, Washington’s connections to cannabis are not invented out of whole cloth. Washington did grow industrial hemp — a variety of the cannabis plant, but not one that contains enough THC, the psychotropic chemical in marijuana, to cause any mindbending effects.

The idea of smoking marijuana to get high would have been foreign to people in Washington’s time. Recreational use of marijuana in the U.S. didn’t begin until the 19th century, by most accounts.

In May, horticulturalists at Washington’s Mount Vernon estate planted the first hemp crop on the grounds in centuries, to highlight the Founding Father’s life as a farmer.

Hemp being grown at Mount Vernon is more for work than pleasure

Interpreters Megan Romney, left, and Deb Colburn work to process the hemp harvest Wednesday at George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate.

On Wednesday, Mount Vernon employees — known as interpreters — harvested the crop and processed it into fiber that could be used for making rope

or cloth. Workers used a scythe to cut and harvest the small patch of hemp, then showed the process of drying the hemp and “putting it through the hackles”

Fort Dupont Park summer event Fort Dupont Park

to comb it into fibers. At Mount Vernon, the hemp fibers could be used for netting on fishing boats in the Potomac or to weave clothing.

Dean Norton, Mount Vernon’s director of horticulture, said Washington references hemp more than 90 times in his journals and diaries, and gave consideration to it as a cash crop when the tobacco market plummeted.

Ultimately, Washington turned to wheat, but he continued to grow hemp for use on the estate.

Only recently has it been legal for Mount Vernon to plant a hemp crop. The Virginia General Assembly passed legislation in 2015 and 2016 allowing limited hemp cultivation. Federal and state laws still keep tight rules in place for registration and possession of seeds.

Hemp advocates are pushing for further federal legislation to liberalize hemp production.

Brian Walden with the Virginia Industrial Hemp Coalition said he hopes the plant’s connection to Washington will help the public understand the wholesome nature of hemp.

“Hemp was the original fabric of our lives,” he said.

Swaths of flood-prone Md. town must be razed

MICHAEL S. WILLIAMSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Are rats taking over the District?

THE DISTRICT They scurry across alleyways.

They chew through trash cans.

They make a sound that’s something between a hiss and a chatter.

And despite the District’s efforts, the number of rats in Washington seems to be growing.

Complaints to 311 about rodents in D.C. reached an all-time high in 2017 — totaling 5,310, a 50 percent increase from 2016 — and are on track to increase in 2018.

“It’s an eternal war,” said Mark Eckenwiler, an Advisory Neighborhood Commission member who lives on Capitol Hill.

“You can kill them in one location and they pop up in another.”

The Washington Post examined more than 15,000 rat complaints reported to the District government over more than five years. In some of the city’s most densely populated areas, where trendy bars and restaurants have proliferated, complaints have increased at staggering rates: Shaw saw a 436 percent increase in complaints from 2014 to 2017, Columbia Heights a 449 percent increase and Capitol Hill a 430 percent increase.

D.C. Council member Charles Allen, D-Ward 6, whose ward includes Capitol Hill, said he began hearing more complaints about a year and a half ago, when “people

started seeing this explosion of the rat population.”

“Those complaints have never subsided,” said Allen, who has introduced a bill that would require restaurants to follow pest-prevention plans and would establish a fund for inspection and enforcement of rodent control violations.

The neighborhood with the highest number of complaints in 2017 was Petworth, followed

by Columbia Heights, Capitol Hill, Near Northeast, 16th Street Heights, Logan Circle, Park View, U Street and Shaw. Complaints in those neighborhoods represented about 43 percent of the complaints lodged last year.

From 2016 to 2017, those neighborhoods saw between a 25 percent to 74 percent increase in rodent complaints. This year, they are on pace to see a repeat or increase in the number.

“It’s off the charts,” said Brian McQuaid, an inspector with American Pest Control. He said the small exterminating business has grown in recent years because of an increase in complaints about rodents and bedbugs.

In response to a growing outcry among residents, the city has added a variety of tools to its rat-fighting war chest.

Officials last year began using dry ice to suffocate rats in their burrows. They also installed ratproof solar trash cans in “rat hot spots” and provided grants to businesses that lease commercial trash compactors.

Baltimore prosecutor fired a year after her drunken driving conviction

Still, if the new trash that comes with new residents and new construction isn’t stored properly, that will mean more rats, said Gerard Brown, who oversees the D.C. Department of Health’s rodent control division.

Off the H Street corridor in Northeast, Colleen Gallopin was dealing with a rat problem so bad that she said “it got to the point of absurdity.”

Gallopin, 39, said rodents created a “rat highway” between their burrows in her neighbors’ backyards and the bustling H Street restaurants.

“Every night before bed, I would just sit and watch them run across back and forth, and I could count 50 or 60 in a night,” said Gallopin, the executive director of a health care nonprofit.

She said the rat population seemed to decrease only after she and four other neighbors coordinated this summer to hire a private pest control company.

“This is not an individual issue — we can’t address it house by house … and we need to think about it on a larger scale,” she said. “There will always be rats. I don’t have a problem with that. We share the city. But there needs to be a balance.”

A few months after floodwaters devastated Ellicott City’s main street for the second time in two years, authorities are moving to demolish roughly 5 percent of its historic district. Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman said 10 ravaged structures on the lower half of Main Street must be demolished in the coming months. The idea is to expand the flood plain for the next time waterways burst their banks. He said Wednesday some residential properties further uphill will also need to be bulldozed.

Former deacon charged in 2003 sex assault case A former deacon at a Loudoun County, Va., church that has faced criticism from ex-members has been charged with sexually assaulting a teenager more than a decade ago. Police announced charges last week against Kevin O’Connor, 62, including sexual assault by force and taking indecent liberties with a child.

O’Connor was a deacon at Calvary Temple in Sterling, an independent church that critics say engages in cult-like behavior.

Assault case set to end against school chairman Maryland prosecutors are seeking to dismiss an assault case against a Prince George’s County school board chairman who was accused of pushing and threatening a fellow member after a board meeting. The decision this week appears to end the episode, where Segun Eubanks faced a second-degree assault charge.

A spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office said prosecutors found insufficient evidence for the charge after reviewing the case.

Eubanks called the allegations false and reckless. (AP/TWP)

Memorial Bridge to close for one weekend in Sept.

Arlington Memorial Bridge will be shuttered to all traffic from the evening of Sept. 14 through the morning of Sept. 17 for maintenance.

D.C. homicide total reaches grim mark 100th killing this year raises fear of violence reminiscent of 2015 THE DISTRICT D.C. reached 100 homicides Thursday, a grim milestone that has raised concerns over whether the city is on a path to have a rise in killings over recent years.

Among the victims were a 10-year-old girl headed to an ice cream truck, a boy shot in an attempted robbery and a young woman who was training to become a chef. The 100th victim was a 25-year-old man shot just after midnight near his home in the Edgewood neighborhood.

Officials said they have been working to quell the violence, which is reminiscent of 2015, when a surge in killings in D.C. and other cities across the country alarmed residents and police. That year, the District had its 100th slaying Aug. 22 and by year’s end had counted 162 killings.

There have been hopeful signs.

While the summer months are often among the most deadly, the pace of killings has slowed in recent weeks. Other violent crimes, including robberies and assaults, are down this year compared with 2017.

In addition, homicide statistics this year reflect 12 deaths that occurred in past years but were discovered or were ruled homicides only this year.

Missing woman’s body found in vacant home

Chanel Dickerson, left, assistant chief of Patrol Services South, comforts Jade McKenzie last month a day after Makiyah Wilson, 10, was killed in NE.

This year’s violence has been concentrated in neighborhoods east of the Anacostia that are troubled by historic crime and poverty, and where many complain that city services are lacking.

Earlier this year, police declared a “crime emergency” in Ward 8, sending in extra police and boosting the effort to seize illegal firearms. The ward had as many killings by early August as it did in all of 2017. Citywide, police have taken more than 1,000 guns off the streets this year.

“Whenever you have homicides going up in the District of Columbia, we feel a sense of urgency,” Police Chief Peter Newsham said.

“This is just as frustrating for our police officers as it is for the folks who live in this community. We want to make sure we’re doing

everything we possibly can to prevent the next one.”

As in years past, officials blame many of the killings on a proliferation of illegal guns and a quick resort to firearms by people involved in petty disputes. The police chief complains of violent offenders returning to the streets, and the union representing officers says city leaders have focused on critiquing the way police operate but have not concentrated enough on crime-fighting.

The 162 homicides recorded in 2015 were the most in the District since 2009. The number dropped to 88 in 2012, the lowest recorded in a half-century. Last year, 116 slayings occurred.

U.K.: ‘No-deal’ Brexit adds complexity, costs

BIOLUMINESCENCE

Fireflies’ glow tells bats they taste horrible

UNITED KINGDOM Businesses could face red tape at the border, customers could see higher credit card fees and patients could endure delays to medical treatment if Britain leaves the European Union next year without a deal, the U.K. government acknowledged Thursday.

But Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative government vowed it would limit the instability that could be triggered by a disorderly Brexit, releasing documents outlining its plans to cope.

Even if Britain crashes out of the bloc next year without a trade deal, its plans include unilaterally accepting some EU rules and giving EU financial services firms continued access to the U.K. market.

“We have made clear that if negotiations don’t achieve the optimum outcome, we will continue to be a responsible European neighbor and partner,” said Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab in a speech Thursday.

With seven months until Britain leaves the EU on March 29, negotiations on divorce terms and future trade have bogged down amid infighting within May’s divided government about how close an economic relationship to seek with the EU. The government insists it’s

Leaders outline plan for split from EU with no trade agreement

Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab outlines the British government’s plans for a “no-deal” exit from the EU in a speech in London on Thursday.

confident of getting a deal, but is preparing for all outcomes. On Thursday it published the first 25 of more than 70 papers covering “no-deal” planning.

The papers say Britain will allow EU financial services firms continued “passporting” rights to operate in the U.K. for up to three years, even if no agreement is reached — although it can’t guarantee that the bloc will let U.K. companies operate there. That could leave British retirees living in EU countries unable to receive their pensions.

The documents also reveal that Britain will need new regulatory bodies to carry out functions currently done by the EU, and British businesses that trade freely with the bloc will face new paperwork if there is no deal.

British organic farmers also won’t be able to export their produce to the EU unless the bloc certifies U.K. standards — a process that can’t start until after Brexit and takes nine months.

The government said the U.K. will recognize EU standards for testing medicines, but new drugs and treatments would still need approval from the U.K. medicines regulator before they could be sold in Britain. That means it may take longer for British patients to access new therapies.

The documents also note that “the cost of card payments between the U.K. and the EU will likely increase,” and the EUimposed ban on firms charging extra for credit card payments will no longer apply.

Fireflies flash not just to attract mates, but also for survival, new research shows. The bugs’ glow signals to bats that they taste bad, as reported Wednesday in Science Advances. Researchers observed that bats that had not previously encountered fireflies quickly learned to avoid the insects after tasting them. When the scientists painted fireflies’ bellies black so they couldn’t glow, the bats ate about 40 percent of those bugs, but none of the normal ones. The scientists note that firefly larvae also glow — further evidence that the trait may have developed first as protection from predators and later for mating. (AP)

A pardon for Manafort?

Giuliani says Trump sought lawyers’ advice weeks ago on options for campaign manager

Manafort juror: Holdout halted full conviction

Paul Manafort was convicted Tuesday on eight charges of tax evasion and bank fraud.

AP: Tabloid kept a safe with stories on Trump

AP

POLITICS President Trump asked his lawyers several weeks ago for their advice on the possibility of pardoning Paul Manafort, the president’s lawyer said Thursday.

The subject of pardoning Manafort came up as Trump’s former campaign chairman faced multiple charges of bank fraud and tax evasion in an Alexandria court and the president was expressing his anger at how federal prosecutors had “beat up” and mistreated Manafort, Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani said in an interview.

Trump’s lawyers counseled the president against the idea of pardoning anyone linked to the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, according to Giuliani, saying Trump should at least wait until special counsel Robert Mueller has concluded his probe. Giuliani said the president agreed and did not push the issue further.

“He said yes,” Giuliani said.

“He agreed with us.”

Giuliani said Trump was seeking advice as he complained about Manafort’s criminal exposure on charges unrelated to his work on Trump’s campaign. Giuliani said he and fellow personal attorney Jay Sekulow advised waiting to see whether Mueller delivers a damning report that

accuses the president of trying to block a federal probe of his campaign’s contacts with Russians.

to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who would then decide whether any evidence of wrongdoing was serious enough that it should be presented to

Congress to consider for impeachment proceedings.

“We told him he should wait until all the investigations are over,” Giuliani said of their discussion. “This [special counsel] case is a strange case. It won’t be decided by a jury. It will decided by the Justice Department and Congress and ultimately the American people. You have to be sensitive to public optics.”

Other Trump associates who have pleaded guilty as part of Mueller’s investigation include former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and Trump campaign aide Rick Gates.

Trump has repeatedly decried the government’s treatment of Manafort — who a jury found guilty Tuesday on eight counts of tax- and bank-fraud charges.

APPROVAL FOR RUSSIA PROBE

The proportion of registered voters surveyed in a new Fox News poll who approve of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign in the 2016 election, while 37 percent disapprove. In recent months, Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani have repeatedly disparaged Mueller and his team on social media and in television interviews. The new number suggests those relentless attacks could be losing potency. Approval is up from 48 percent in the same poll in July.

POLITICS A juror in Paul Manafort’s financial fraud trial says a lone holdout prevented the jury from convicting the onetime Trump campaign chairman on all 18 counts.

Jurors tried to persuade the holdout to “look at the paper trail” but she insisted there was reasonable doubt, juror Paula Duncan told Fox News.

“We didn’t want it to be hung, so we tried for an extended period of time to convince her,” Duncan said, adding that the four days of deliberations were so heated that there were “tears” among the 12 jurors.

“But in the end, she held out and that’s why we have 10 counts that did not get a verdict.”

The federal jury on Tuesday found Manafort guilty on eight counts; the judge declared a mistrial on 10 counts the jury was deadlocked on. The jury verdict form, which was made public Thursday, confirmed Duncan’s account.

Duncan, a self-described Trump supporter, said she and 10 other jurors were prepared to find Manafort guilty of each count in the indictment.

She considered the charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team to be legitimate and considered the evidence “overwhelming.”

“I did not want Paul Manafort to be guilty, but he was,” Duncan said. “And no one is above the law.” ERIC TUCKER AND CHAD DAY (AP)

nation+world Vaccinations are also up, but not enough to keep pace, CDC reports HEALTH Cancers linked to the human papillomavirus have increased significantly over the last 15 years in the U.S., with throat cancer now the most common HPV-related malignancy, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.

More than 43,000 people developed HPV-associated cancer in 2015, compared with about 30,000 in 1999, the CDC said.

At the same time, the CDC said, HPV vaccination rates are rising — a trend that could eventually curb the increase in

cancer cases. But the vaccine rate is not rising fast enough, experts say. Nearly half of adolescents ages 13 to 17 in 2017 had received all the recommended doses for HPV vaccination, while two-thirds had received the first dose.

For both groups, that was a 5-percentage-point increase from the previous year.

“This vaccine is the best way to protect our youth from developing cancers caused by HPV,” said CDC Director Robert Redfield in a statement.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, with almost 80 million Americans infected with the virus. In the vast majority of cases, the body’s immune system clears out the

More than half of adolescents have not completed the HPV vaccine series, the CDC reports.

infection. But in some cases, certain strains of HPV persist and can cause cervical cancer, as well as some throat, vaginal,

penile and anal cancers.

The agency said the inoculations could prevent 90 percent, or more than 31,000 cases, of HPVassociated cases every year.

Since the vaccine’s introduction a decade ago, HPV infections and cervical pre-cancers have fallen significantly. But it can take a long time to see the vaccine’s benefits because many cancers take several years to develop after HPV infections take hold.

“We are moving in the right direction, but given the fact that we have a safe and effective vaccine, there’s little reason why parents and providers aren’t vaccinating every single child,” said Ronald DePinho, a former president of MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is considering allowing states to use federal grant money to buy guns for schools, people familiar with the matter said.

Two of those people said the question being contemplated is whether states are allowed to use money available through Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants to buy firearms. Unlike other federal grants, this one does not expressly ban such purchases.

The idea drew swift negative reaction from those who argue the response to school shootings should be fewer guns, not more.

But it is likely to find support among gun rights advocates who say that having firearms in schools would make them less likely to be targeted.

The conversation was sparked because the federal law that created the grants includes few constraints. “Congress wrote a vague law and everyone is trying to figure out what it means,” one person said, adding that Congress should clarify its intentions.

That person added that it is possible DeVos would take no action on this matter — not permitting it nor advising against it. In that case, a state could try to force her hand by using its grant money for gun purchases and seeing if the department tries to block it. LAURA MECKLER AND MORIAH BALINGIT

Sessions hits Trump back

AG denounces claim that he’s failing to take control of department

Jeff Sessions said the Justice Department would not be “improperly influenced by political considerations.”

SAUL LOEB (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS Attorney General Jeff Sessions pushed back forcefully Thursday against fresh criticism from President Trump, saying the Justice Department would not be “improperly influenced by political considerations.”

The extraordinary statement came hours after Trump lashed out anew at Sessions, saying he had failed to take control of the Justice Department and was given his job only because of his loyalty during the 2016 campaign.

Following Trump’s comments in an interview that aired Thursday on “Fox & Friends,” two leading Republican senators suggested Sessions could be replaced this fall — though other Republicans cautioned that Trump would have a hard time winning Senate confirmation for another nominee.

Sessions said in his statement: “I took control of the Department of Justice the day I was sworn in, which is why we have had unprecedented success at effectuating

the President’s agenda.”

In the Fox interview, Trump lambasted Sessions for failing to take the reins in a department that he characterized as dominated

by Democrats and unwilling to prosecute Democratic corruption.

“I put in an attorney general that never took control of the Justice Department,” Trump said during the interview, which was taped Wednesday.

Trump also renewed his

criticism of Sessions for recusing himself from the department’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that is now being led by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Sessions, a former Republican senator from Alabama, was among the earliest and most high-profile supporters of Trump during a GOP primary campaign in which he was shunned by most elected officials in Washington.

“You know, the only reason I gave him the job is because I felt loyalty,” Trump said on Fox. “He was an original supporter.”

During the interview, Trump declined to say whether he plans to fire Sessions or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is overseeing Mueller’s probe, after the November elections.

After the interview, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told reporters that he thinks it’s “very likely” Trump will replace Sessions but cautioned against doing so before the midterm elections.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said Thursday that he could find time to hold hearings on a new nominee later this year after the Senate votes on Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

But Sen. John Cornyn, R- Texas, cautioned that he thinks it would be difficult to confirm another attorney general in the fall.

He told reporters: “I think it would good for the attorney general and the president to try to work out their differences.”

Trump talks Cohen’s plea, Manafort’s conviction “Fox & Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt interviewed President Trump the day after his former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty and former campaign manager Paul Manafort was convicted of financial crimes. Here are some takeaways from the interview, which aired Thursday. (AP) Outlawing ‘flipping’

‘If I get impeached …’

Respect for Manafort

Cohen relationship

In regard to Cohen, Trump said he thought it would be better if “flipping,” in which someone’s confidant helps prosecutors in return for a lighter sentence, were illegal because people “just make up lies.” That tool “almost ought to be outlawed. It’s not fair.”

The legal blows have raised speculation Democrats could launch impeachment proceedings. “If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor,” Trump said. “I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job.”

Trump did not say whether he would pardon Manafort, but expressed “great respect” for him and argued that some of the charges are for things “every consultant, every lobbyist in Washington probably does.” In a tweet, Trump praised Manafort as “a brave man!”

Trump tried to play down his relationship with Cohen, his longtime “fixer,” who claims he directed a hush money scheme to buy the silence of two women who say they had affairs with Trump. The president contends Cohen only worked for him part time.

S. Africa: Trump misinformed on farm policy JOHANNESBURG South Africa’s government lashed out at President Trump on Thursday after he tweeted that his administration would be looking into farm seizures and the “large scale killing of farmers” in the country.

The government said Trump’s tweet, which followed a related Fox News segment, was based on “false information” and reflected a “narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation.”

South Africa is in the throes of a racially charged national debate over land reform, a lawful process that seeks to correct the legacy of decades of white minority rule that stripped blacks of their land.

Nearly 25 years after the first democratic elections, black South Africans make up 80 percent of the population but own just 4 percent of the country’s land, according to the government.

In July, President Cyril Ramaphosa, above, said his party would amend the constitution so the state could expropriate land without compensation to speed up the land reform process.

South Africa’s constitution has not yet been amended and the government has not seized any major agricultural land.

As for “large scale killing,” a small group of white South Africans claim white farmers are the target of violent, racially motivated attacks. Experts say the attacks reflect the country’s high crime rate and that there is no evidence connecting them to the victims’ race. KRISTA MAHR (AP)

ESPN host: I’m through with football

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Getting a bit more real The Redskins’ starters might actually play a few series, and newly signed running back Adrian Peterson will make his Washington debut when the Denver Broncos come to FedEx Field on Friday (7:30, NBCSW). The third preseason game is typically a dress rehearsal for the season opener, but several prominent players, such as running back Chris Thompson and tight end Jordan Reed, will be held out for health reasons. Still, watching the defense try

AP AND THE WASHINGTON POST

to counter quick-throwing quarterback Case Keenum should be interesting. Here are five players to watch.

Adrian Peterson

Daron Payne

Josh Doctson

Martrell Spaight

Ryan Anderson

Running back

Defensive tackle

Wide receiver

Middle linebacker

Outside linebacker

The Redskins created a buzz by signing the free agent Monday and plan to use him heavily against the Broncos. The question: Which Peterson are they getting? The 2012 league MVP who is one long run from joining the list of the NFL’s top 10 career rushers, or the one who is on his third team in a year after averaging 3.4 yards last season with Arizona and New Orleans?

It wouldn’t take much for Peterson, 33, to start over Rob Kelley, who has been lackluster this preseason.

If nothing else, the team has noticed the future Hall of Famer’s intense practice habits.

The rookie first-rounder delivered a mixed effort last week against the New York Jets. He managed a sack by bull-rushing past a guard. But Payne was caught off balance several times with poor footwork as he desperately looked for the ball, and his reaction time occasionally was on a one-second delay. That hesitation should disappear with experience — he needs to at least double the 10 snaps he had against the Jets. His chemistry with DT Jonathan Allen, his former Alabama teammate, is undeniable.

Pity the left guards and tackles facing this pair.

The 2016 first-rounder enters a prove-it season.

Repeating last year’s 35 receptions would be a bust for someone the Redskins once hoped would roam the back of the end zone. Instead, they are developing other options, and Doctson has only an 11-yard catch this preseason. Coach Jay Gruden isn’t too worried about his starters’ production in August, but Doctson needs to show he can help carry the offense when needed and stay healthy after some nicks in camp. For now, he likely is only the second option — even in the red zone — behind Paul Richardson.

He just wants to rough people up, and is doing it so well that Mason Foster better improve or he could lose his starting job.

Spaight is the Redskins’ most underrated defensive player. He has great speed to the ball and is a huge-impact hitter, reminiscent of Wilber Marshall three decades ago. Spaight’s 75 tackles in his third season showed that he’s ready for more.

He can call defensive signals, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to play him over Foster. Watch Spaight quickly come to the line on run defense, which the Redskins will emphasize more this season.

Last year’s secondrounder was invisible as a rookie. Despite coaches saying he’s doing more this summer, he’s still invisible.

He not only can’t surpass starters Preston Smith and Ryan Kerrigan, he is at risk of being overtaken by Pete Robertson as the top backup. The club hopes Anderson can be Plan B in 2019 if Smith doesn’t re-sign, but Anderson needs to show something now. That includes being more physical at the line after being shoved out of too many plays, and displaying more urgency to the ball, which should come from knowing the scheme better.

Brooks Koepka (67) one stroke behind in opening event of FedEx Cup; Tiger Woods at 71

Ohio State’s decision Wednesday to suspend coach Urban Meyer for three games over his handling of domestic violence allegations against a former assistant disgusted many observers who felt the punishment was insufficient and the coach’s subsequent statements misguided.

It was enough to drive ESPN’s Michelle Beadle to swear that she will not watch football this fall, although her network airs college and NFL games and she must discuss both as a co-host of the “Get Up” morning show.

Football “has set itself up to be in a position where it shows itself in the bigger picture to not really care about women …” she said. “I feel like a person who has been marginalized.”

Philly ace outduels Scherzer A 2-0 win behind Nola ends Nats’ brief surge, cools playoff chances

ANDREW HARNIK (AP)

PHILLIES 2, NATIONALS 0 One pitch undid Max Scherzer on Thursday afternoon, one cutter that gave Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera too much of a chance in the seventh, and landed in the second deck at Nationals Park.

The home run was enough for a 2-0 victory, costing the Nationals a chance at their first sweep of a three-game series since late May, but was otherwise a case of one outstanding pitcher outdueling another.

Aaron Nola held the Nationals scoreless while Scherzer, though he allowed just two hits in seven innings, could not do the same.

“I wanted to get that pitch up and in … It just backed up on me and was out over the plate and he put a great swing on it,” Scherzer said of the home run.

The loss left the Nationals (64-64) eight games behind firstplace Atlanta in the NL East, pending the Braves’ late game at Miami.

Winning the division is no longer a realistic goal for the Nationals, who have 34 games left.

They are one of several teams still in contention for one of two NL wild card berths, but that is a long shot, too: They would have to leapfrog the Dodgers, Phillies, Rockies and Brewers to get the second wild card.

St. Louis currently owns the first wild card.

U.S. OPEN

The Williams sisters might meet in Round 3

Max Scherzer allowed just two hits through seven innings, but it wasn’t enough to best Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola.

The Nationals’ series finale provided a matchup of Cy Young candidates. Nola now is 15-3 and Scherzer 16-6. Each right-hander has an ERA of 2.13.

It was the first matchup of starters with at least 150 innings and sub-2.25 ERAs since St. Louis’ John Tudor faced Mets ace Dwight Gooden on Sept. 11, 1985.

Nola, 25, is having a breakthrough year in his fourth season.

“I think there’s a lot of pitchers around the league who hitters tend to get more comfortable [with],” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. “It seems like hitters get less comfortable every time they face Aaron Nola.”

His eight scoreless innings Thursday would be enough to

Strasburg’s velocity off Nationals righthander Stephen Strasburg said his diminished velocity Wednesday when he returned from a month’s layoff was because of a lack of stamina, not further injury problems. He went four innings (84 pitches), allowing five runs on seven hits in an 8-7 win over the Phillies.

His fastball, usually 96 to 97 mph, started at 94-95 and then dipped as low as 91. He had pitched just once since June 8, first suffering shoulder inflammation and then a cervical nerve impingement. He said doctors told him the nerve problem could take months to dissipate, but he is expected to make his next start. (TWP)

beat most anyone, but Scherzer came close to matching him. He threw 41/3 hitless innings to start the game, tied for his longest nohit bid of the season.

After Scherzer walked Maikel Franco on a close checked swing, he surrendered a chopper to Jorge Alfaro that shortstop Trea Turner mishandled as it hopped by him into the outfield.

Fans below the press box hollered up to the official scorekeeper, begging for the play to be ruled an error. Instead, it was ruled the Phillies’ first hit.

Scherzer worked out of the jam without surrendering a run.

He gave up only one more hit — the home run — while striking out 10 and walking four.

After a rash of puppet murders, these two detectives try to find out who had a hand in it.

R, 105 min.

KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY | THE REELIST

A crappy time: Puppets behaving badly? Yaaawn …

So, hi! How was your summer?

Good, good.

Mine has been going pretty well, too. Took a vacation.

Read a lot of books — “Sing, Unburied, Sing” by Jesmyn Ward was the best. The rosé of the summer was the Chateau Montaud Cotes de Provence, which comes in a really pretty bottle. I bet the crafty among you could repurpose it. Make a lamp or something.

Look, can we talk about literally anything other than “The Happytime Murders”?

Fine.

First, it’s not all bad (there’s a phrase to put on the poster).

There are times when Melissa McCarthy is genuinely funny, and Maya Rudolph delivers a

hilarious monologue about rice pilaf and prison rape. Other than that, “The Happytime Murders” is the kind of film that happens when people have a couple of spare weeks, so they decide to write, shoot, edit and release a movie.

There is, such as it is, a plot.

Phil Philips (Bill Barretta), which is definitely a name you come up with when you’re writing a movie in two weeks, is a private detective and a disgraced police officer — the first and last puppet officer in Los Angeles. Oh, yeah. Most of the characters are puppets.

Did I forget to mention that?

Anyway, Phil is approached

by Sandra White (Dorien Davies), a femme fatale being blackmailed with information about her sex life, because why not go full film noir.

Former Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Ed King died Wednesday at 68

Meanwhile, the cast members of “Happytime,” the first puppet-human TV show to reach a large audience, are getting murdered one by one, right before syndication money comes pouring in. Phil teams up with former partner Connie Edwards (McCarthy), and they try to solve both cases.

It took me all of 12 minutes to figure out whodunit, but the point of the movie isn’t the murders. It’s to watch puppets curse a lot and to get a glimpse into puppet porn, puppet sex, puppet drugs, puppet bodily fluids and did I mention the puppet porn?

So … that’s about it. Director Brian Henson (yes, Jim’s son) and writer Todd Berger apparently set out to make an edgy comedy, but there is nothing particularly edgy about

‘The Happytime Murders’ (R, 91 min.)

DIRECTOR: Brian Henson STARS: Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Joel McHale IN A NUTSHELL: A human detective and a puppet colleague try to solve the murders of the former cast of a beloved puppet TV show.

profane puppets and a lumbering plot. “Avenue Q” brought cursing puppets and added musical numbers; we’ve even seen puppet sex done better, in “Team America: World Police,” though I guess you could argue that marionettes are different from puppets. So maybe “The Happytime Murders” is actually a pioneer in the grand world of felt-based copulation.

Not even the puppetry is very good. Few of the puppets move their mouths (other than when talking) or eyebrows, so they show no emotion. When we see their full bodies, there is none of the magic of, say, that first glimpse of Kermit on a bike in “The Muppet Movie.” In fact, I expect Kermit and the gang to issue a statement any minute now disavowing this movie.

That’s really more words than “The Happytime Murders” deserves. So move along.

Nothing to see here. Better to spend your mind and your money on other things, like books and wine. Because “The Happytime Murders” won’t make you happy and isn’t worth your time.

Deadline: Jon Hamm, Ed Harris join “Top Gun: Maverick”

The plot of “Skate Kitchen” is conventional enough: When 18-year-old skateboarder Camille (Rachelle Vinberg) shows interest in the ex-boyfriend of her new best friend (Ardelia Lovelace), complications ensue. But the beauty of the film isn’t to be found in its mechanics.

Instead, it’s the movie itself — its rhythms, its tactful, unfussy point of view — that elevates it into something new. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Papillon’ R, 136 min.

A remake of the 1973 film about Devil’s Island inmate Henri “Papillon” Charriere, this vastly inferior telling of the tale stars Charlie Hunnam in the title role and Rami Malek as Papillon’s fellow prisoner Louis Dega. Directed by Danish filmmaker Michael Noer, the movie is full of superficial adventure and shock value but no real sense of drama.

The author, the wife and their fiction

‘Juliet, Naked’ hits the right rom-com notes

FILM Early in “The Wife,” celebrated author Joe Castleman gets the call telling him he’s won the Nobel Prize in literature and he begins jumping on the bed. “I won the Nobel! I won the Nobel!” he crows.

His wife Joan, played by Glenn Close, does not join in. In fact, it looks like she just wants to get to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

The rest of “The Wife” explains why: Since the very beginning of Joe’s career, Joan has been doing the bulk of “his” writing, all the while playing the part of the dutiful wife.

“One of my favorite scenes was when we arrive in Stockholm and I’m just holding [Joe’s] coat in the background,” Close says. “I’ve been around men who make women feel invisible and it’s not a nice place to be in.

But it’s something that she has accepted.”

Joan may not be in the background for long; Nathaniel, a journalist played by Christian Slater (TV’s “Mr. Robot”), strongly suspects that she is the actual writer of Joe’s books, and

he wants the world to know about her — and about himself.

“I think he wants a bit of both,” Slater says. “He’s on this journalistic pursuit to get the truth, he thinks he’s got something, he’s found some evidence and he wants to pursue that. And also he wants to get his own prize. A lot of journalists, and actors, we’re looking for that thing that will satisfy us and give us attention and acclaim.”

For Joan, who is utterly circumspect in her answers to Nathaniel’s probing questions, “I don’t think it’s about the acclaim,” says Close, a six-time Oscar nominee who has yet to win. “Is recognition different than acclaim? She realizes what she’s done, and her husband hasn’t ever acknowledged that.”

The 1992-set drama flashes back to the beginning of Joe (Jonathan Pryce) and Joan’s marriage in the late 1950s, when young Joan (played by Close’s daughter, Annie Starke) was writing her own work. After a talented but overlooked female author warns her that novels by women can never reach a large audience,

GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

Glenn Close plays a talented writer who stays in the shadows … but for how long?

Six-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close plays an author’s wife with a secret and Christian Slater plays a journalist hoping to uncover it in “The Wife.”

‘The Wife’ (R, 100 min.)

DIRECTOR: Bjorn Runge STARS: Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater, Max Irons IN A NUTSHELL: The nearly 40-year marriage of a Great American Novelist and his wife — the real author of his books — is tested when he is picked to win a Nobel Prize.

Joan moves to “editing” books by Joe, her former creative writing professor. It’s not long before both silently and implicitly agree that

Joan is simply a better writer than Joe. She takes over, losing her name but keeping her work.

“She’s been complicit,” Close says. “It lets her write, and she is happiest when she’s at that desk, writing. It’s something she has accepted, but I think in the film [she has] a growing awareness [that] he almost believes all this.

And she can’t deal with that.”

So he gets the medal and she gets to watch. The main question of “The Wife” is whether she’ll ever get the recognition she deserves — or even if she wants it.

FILM

John Lithgow to play Roger Ailes

John Lithgow will play former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes in a film about the sexual harassment scandal that led to his downfall, according to Variety. Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron have been cast as Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly, respectively, in the movie from “Game Change” director Jay Roach. The project is unrelated to a previously announced Showtime miniseries starring Russell Crowe as Ailes. (EXPRESS) Variety: Connie Britton joins “American Horror Story: Apocalypse”

E! renews “Very Cavallari” for Season 2

FILM REVIEW At a time when every other movie, even the rom-coms, seems to contain political subtext, it’s a relief to see a bagatelle come along like “Juliet, Naked.” This film amounts to a sweet-tart confection that cleanses a palate gone sour from too many cinematic servings of the heavy stuff.

Based on Nick Hornby’s 2009 novel, “Juliet, Naked” stars Rose Byrne as Annie, a history museum curator in England whose boyfriend, Duncan (Chris O’Dowd, funny as ever), runs a fan website devoted to American cult musician Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). When a bootleg CD surfaces featuring unplugged demo recordings from Crowe’s seminal 1993 album “Juliet,” Annie posts a negative review online. This not only leads to some minor tensions with her live-in beau, but more important, to an email correspondence between Annie and Tucker — who happens to agree with her assessment of his music.

It’s a classic love triangle, with Tucker and Annie slowly coming to the realization that they may have feelings for each other. Director Jesse Peretz, a former musician, plays this familiar scenario’s comedy not in power chords but grace notes.

In his screenplay, written with Tamara Jenkins and Jim Taylor, he tells a story that is not about three people, but all human connection. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Outlaw King’

‘Suspiria’

EXPECTED RELEASE: Nov. 9

EXPECTED RELEASE: Nov. 2

SUMMARY: Chris Pine reunites with “Hell or High Water” director David Mackenzie for this story of Robert the Bruce, made famous in “Braveheart” as the guy who finally decided to fight alongside William Wallace. “Outlaw” shows promise because “Hell or High Water” was great and Chris Pine presumably wears a kilt. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

SUMMARY: So there’s this dance company in Berlin and Tilda Swinton is in charge, which means (of course) that something wicked this way pirouettes.

It seems that many of the dancers are making deals with devils? Or they’re possibly being ritually murdered? After all, everyone must make sacrifices for their art. Sometimes human ones. K.P.K.

trending “Speaking as a once-upon-a-time teen mom, I don’t think Kylie Jenner glamorizes being a young mom.

She does, however, glamorize being a super-rich teen mom.” @80SROCKERCHICK, reacting to a podcast interview with “Teen Mom 2”

star Kailyn Lowry. Lowry said that Kylie Jenner’s celebrity lifestyle may give the impression that it’s “glamorous” to have a kid so young. Lowry was quickly criticized, with many pointing out she was on a show that profited off teenage pregnancy and that Jenner was 20 when she gave birth.

DIFFICULT

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

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

Ben lucky to still have Jen as guardian angel

Biebs pivots to jockey career Justin Bieber purchased a $5 million mansion in Ontario, Canada, TMZ reported Thursday. The property is reportedly 101 acres, with a private equestrian facility featuring stables and a horse-racing track.

The home also includes lake access, a two-story temperature-controlled wine room, heated floors and a movie theater. It’s unclear if the home will be Bieber’s main residence or a lakeside getaway.

Ben Affleck checked into a Los Angeles area rehab facility Thursday for alcohol addiction after estranged wife Jennifer Garner asked him to get help, according to TMZ. Affleck reportedly was receptive to Garner’s plea, which came after she saw a recent photo of him accepting a delivery of beer and liquor. “Her number-one concern is [their three] kids,” a source told People. “Is Ben healthy enough to have custody? Can she rely on him to coparent?” Affleck has been in the headlines this week after he was spotted with 22-year-old model Shauna Sexton, though People’s source said Garner’s “concern right now is not who he is dating.” (EXPRESS)
