Amos Melo tells The StandardTimes the detergent was worth about $250.

A (way too early) preview of winter
THE DISTRICT
Wonder what he wants to be when he grows up
LINDA DAVIDSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)
THE DISTRICT It’s hot, and a hurricane may soon threaten U.S. shores, but the winter outlook presented by several long-range forecasters may send shivers down your spine. Several forecasters queried about their expectations for this winter in the D.C. area say they’re leaning toward a season that is colder and snowier than normal. Of course, winter outlooks are always low-confidence endeavors, especially those made so far ahead. But the experts consulted say atmospheric patterns setting up for the colder months may put a smile on the face of winter weather enthusiasts. Forecasters expect a weak La Niña to develop in the winter, but the consensus is that it may not behave like a typical La Niña. “Anyone using the standard boilerplate La Niña means XY-Z for the winter over North
THE DISTRICT
This could be D.C.’s fourth consecutive winter with above-average snow.
America is asking for a proverbial punch in the forecast nose,” said Dave Tolleris, a consulting meteorologist who runs the website wxrisk.com. La Niñas, especially the stronger ones, tend to feature an area of high pressure over the Southeast United States that pumps mild air into the Mid-Atlantic. But because this La Niña is forecast to be weak, it may let frigid air in the Northern Plains plunge southeastward more frequently. “[W]e don’t expect a typical
La Niña look this winter,” said Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist for the Weather Company. “In fact, the best match to the expected North Pacific Ocean temperature pattern is the winter of 1995-1996, which was cold and unusually stormy in the eastern U.S. [including D.C.].” If these forecasters are right in their snow predictions, it will mark the fourth straight winter of above-average snow, something D.C. hasn’t seen since the 1960s.

FTA slams Metro over train storage
THE DISTRICT
Monument to close for nine months
TRANSPORTATION Federal officials on Wednesday admonished Metro for the manner in which it stores and secures trains in rail yards, saying the agency’s employees have “universal misunderstandings” on how rail cars should be stowed — oversights that potentially put employees and passengers at risk. Among the findings from federal inspectors: Metro supervisors routinely discourage the use of handbrakes and other required safeguards in rail yards because it’s too time-consuming and cumbersome for employees tasked with moving trains around. In a 22-page report released Wednesday, the Federal Transit Administration issued a series of urgent safety steps Metro must take to address the chronic problems. The order requires Metro to propose and establish a new approach to safely storing cars, train employees on the requirements and ensure they have a proper understanding of the safety risks posed by rolling and unoccupied trains. “Failure to properly secure unattended trains presents a significant safety risk across the rail transit industry,” the FTA said in the report, the third and final

Federal officials say the agency lapsed on safety at its rail yards
Inspectors found that Metro supervisors routinely discourage the use of some safeguards in rail yards because they are too time-consuming.
Yellow Line disruption Metro is planning an emergency response drill on the Yellow Line this weekend that will affect service. Metro says it will conduct a drill Sunday on the elevated track approaching the Pentagon station over the Potomac River. Yellow Line service will be suspended between the L’Enfant Plaza and Pentagon stations from opening until about 2 p.m., when the drill is expected to conclude. (AP)
in a series of federal reviews of Metro safety procedures released this summer. “Unsecured and unattended trains or equipment can move in rail yards and on the mainline track, creating the potential for collisions with
other trains, equipment, passengers or workers.” Metro has 30 days to respond to the report and 60 days to establish a corrective action plan. Metro board members and regional officials said they were concerned — but perhaps not particularly surprised — by the FTA findings. The observations from inspectors, they said, are emblematic of many of the problems facing Metro: unclear protocol, lax adherence to safety procedures and “we’ve-alwaysdone-it-this-way attitudes.” “It’s another item on the laundry list of things we have to do,” said Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans. “There can be no shortcuts. There can be no safety violations.” FAIZ SIDDIQUI AND MARTINE POWERS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The lone elevator that takes visitors to the top of the 555-foot Washington Monument needs a major renovation that will require closing the landmark for nine months, officials said Wednesday. The elevator has broken down frequently over the past two years, roughly the period since the monument reopened following a 2011 earthquake that did major damage to the structure. The monument needed $15 million in repairs and was closed for nearly three years, but the park service did not renovate the elevator during that time. There’s also no timetable for starting the nine-month renovation, which is expected to cost between $2 million and $3 million, the park service said. (AP)

A Message from Metro General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld
Metro has fostered a strong partnership between the Transit Police and the region’s schools to educate students about the personal responsibility that comes with riding public transportation, and to encourage safe and positive conduct while traveling on Metrobus and Metrorail. For example, we remind students about the difference between being enthusiastic and being rowdy, disrespectful or intimidating to other riders. For students using a DC One card or the new University Pass, here are a few tips to make your trip on Metro a success: •
You must tap your card to the farebox or faregate. Flashing the card is not acceptable.
•
Always be mindful of other passengers and show courtesy.
•
Use headphones when listening to music.
•
Eating, drinking and smoking are not permitted anywhere in the system.
•
Take all personal items when you get off the train or bus.

As the summer comes to a close, all of Metro welcomes students back to school. We are proud to serve as the “school bus” for the District of Columbia, and we take very seriously our responsibility to transport the District’s school children on our buses and trains. This week, Metro Transit Police officers and other Metro ambassadors were out in our stations greeting students at the beginning of the school year. In addition, this year we have teamed up with American University to launch a new University Pass that every incoming AU undergraduate, graduate and law school student will receive. This is a pilot program aimed at encouraging college students to use the system to get to classes, jobs and internships, and to explore everything the National Capital Region has to offer. We hope to expand this program to other universities throughout the region.

Jens Soering was convicted in the 1985 killing of his ex’s parents VIRGINIA A German diplomat’s son convicted of murder is petitioning Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe for an “absolute pardon” and parole based largely on blood analysis. Jens Soering is serving two life terms for the 1985 slayings of his ex-girlfriend’s parents. Soering’s petition this week says a blood analysis concludes that Soering, who has Type O blood, was not the source of at least some of the Type O blood found at the scene. “This is no longer about believing me,” Soering, 50, said from Buckingham Correctional Center in Virginia. “Unless you’re a climate-change denier and creationist and you don’t believe in DNA, then you have to believe I’m innocent. The only other option is I did it with somebody else, whom I’ve been protecting for 31 years.” Soering initially confessed to killing the couple but recanted and has insisted he is innocent. He said his then-girlfriend, Elizabeth Haysom, killed her parents and told him afterward. Haysom

testified against Soering and is serving a 90-year sentence. In the absence of hair or fingerprints, prosecutors relied heavily on the presence of the Type O blood to link Soering to the crime. Maj. Ricky Gardner of the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office, who led the investigation, said Soering’s latest claim is nothing new. “These results have been publicly known for several years,” Gardner wrote in an email. “Based upon the totality of evidence that was presented in Jens’ trial in June 1990, I remain confident that he perpetrated these heinous crimes.” (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

AMATRICE, ITALY Rescue crews using bulldozers and their bare hands raced to dig out survivors from an earthquake that reduced three central Italian towns to rubble Wednesday. The death toll stood at 159, but the number of dead and missing was uncertain given the thousands of vacationers in the area for summer’s final days. Residents wakened before dawn by the temblor emerged from their crumbled homes to find what they described as apocalyptic scenes “like Dante’s Inferno,” with entire blocks of buildings turned into piles of sand and rock, thick dust choking the air and a putrid smell of gas. “The town isn’t here anymore,” said Sergio Pirozzi, the mayor of the hardest-hit town, Amatrice. “I believe the toll will rise.” The magnitude 6.2 quake struck at 3:36 a.m. and was felt across a mountainous swath of central Italy, including Rome, where residents woke to a long swaying. More than 200 aftershocks jolted the region throughout the day, some as strong as magnitude 5.1. The temblor shook the Lazio region and Umbria and Le Marche on the Adriatic coast, a highly seismic area that has witnessed major quakes in the past. Dozens of people were pulled out alive by rescue teams and volunteers from around Italy. “She’s alive!” two women cheered in Pescara del Tronto, one of the three hardest-hit hamlets, after a 10-year-old girl was pulled from the rubble 17 hours after the quake struck. But there were wails when bodies emerged. “Unfortunately, 90 percent we pull out are dead, but some make it; that’s why we are here,” said Christian Bianchetti, a volunteer from Rieti who was working in

notwithstanding tensions that have strained their relationship since a failed coup attempt in the country last month. Biden strongly warned Syrian Kurdish rebels, whom the United States has supported in the fight against ISIS, not to try to expand their territory or form a separate enclave along the Syrian-Turkish border. He said the U.S. would cut all support for them if they do not comply with Turkish demands to withdraw to the east bank of the Euphrates River. The presence of Turkish troops in Syria will also add a new layer of complexity to the already massively complicated war, potentially pushing Turkey closer toward conflict with U.S.-backed Syrian Kurds and perhaps the Syrian government.

Trump courting minorities Part of his strategy is to convince white voters he isn’t a racist
Our closest star neighbor has an Earth-like planet
JOHN MOORE (GETTY IMAGES)
POLITICS Donald Trump is trying to turn around his presidential campaign with a vigorous effort to shed a label applied to him by a substantial portion of the electorate: racist. Guided by new campaign leadership, he has ordered a strategy to court black and Latino voters and is mobilizing scores of minority figures to advocate for him. Trump is planning trips to urban areas — with stops at churches, schools and businesses in black and Latino communities — and is developing an empowerment agenda based on the economy and education, aides said. Under consideration is an early September visit to Detroit, where retired neurosurgeon and former Republican primary rival Ben Carson would guide him on a tour of the impoverished neighborhoods where he grew up. Trump was to appear Wednesday night in Jackson, Miss., a city that is 80 percent African-American and is the capital of the state with the nation’s highest proportion of black residents. Whether he would address black voters directly wasn’t announced; prior to the speech, his appeal to them had been delivered before white audiences in mostly white cities. Trump’s team has been motivated by its private poll of black voters. The survey found that blacks have a lesser affinity for
A recent poll found that 56 percent of voters believe Donald Trump is biased against women and minorities.
Hillary Clinton than they did for President Bill Clinton, and that their support dips once they learn about her advocacy for a 1994 crime bill he signed, according to two people briefed on the poll’s findings. Roger Stone, a longtime Trump confidant, has urged Trump to exploit Bill Clinton’s crime legislation, arguing that “an entire generation of young black men are incarcerated” because of the law, which imposed tougher prison sentences for a range of drug-related crimes. At Trump’s rallies, meanwhile, he has been spotlighting black supporters and making a blunt pitch to minorities. He has described blacks in sweeping and
categorical language, suggesting that they are mired in poverty, living in dangerous neighborhoods and have nothing to lose by giving him a chance. He also has changed his tone on immigration by saying he would swiftly deport “the bad ones” living in the country illegally but would use the existing legal process for others — after vowing for more than a year that he would deport them all. For Trump, the objective is twofold, according to his aides and allies. He wants to make inroads with minority voters, who polls show overwhelmingly support Clinton. He also believes that a more measured approach on race can convince
white voters now shunning him — especially women — that he is not the racist that his inflammatory rhetoric might indicate. The challenge for Trump is daunting. A Washington PostABC News poll this month found that 56 percent of registered voters believe Trump is biased against women and minorities. “After 15 months of denigrating every nonwhite minority in sight, it’s hard to believe that he can actually do significantly better among nonwhites,” GOP pollster Whit Ayres said. “But he may be able to soften his image a bit with some Republican and maybe a few independent whites who have been put off by his harshness thus far.” (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

SCIENCE A rocky, Earth-like planet has been discovered orbiting Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our solar system, scientists reported in the journal Nature on Wednesday. It is probably in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold zone where liquid water is possible, if the planet has an atmosphere. Located 4.22 light-years (25 trillion miles) from Earth, the planet, Proxima b, is at least 1.3 times as massive as Earth. It is the closest potentially habitable planet detected outside our solar system — and could be reachable by probes in time for some people alive today to witness. The team of astronomers did not see the planet but deduced its existence by using telescopes to calculate the gravitational pull on the star by an orbiting body — a tried-and-true method of planet-hunting. They say there is a 1-in-10-million chance that what they saw was a false positive. The planet is 4.6 million miles from its red dwarf star, one-twentieth of the distance between Earth and the sun, giving it an orange sky. Moreover, the planet circles its star so quickly that its year is just 11 days long. The planet doesn’t rotate. One side is always facing its star and the other is always dark. It is bombarded with radiation, but that may not be fatal to life, since life can exist underground. But the crucial question of whether the planet has an atmosphere remains unanswered — at least for now. SETH BORENSTEIN (AP)

nation+world KABUL, AFGHANISTAN Gunmen tried to storm the American University of Afghanistan Wednesday evening after setting off an explosion nearby, sending panicked students in evening classes scrambling for safety on the highly guarded campus in the Afghan capital. The Health Ministry reported late Wednesday that one person, a guard, was killed and 26 were wounded, including a foreign teacher, according to The Associated Press. Students were trapped inside the campus for more than three hours
while Afghan security forces exchanged fire with the gunmen. The explosion and gun battle occurred less than three weeks after two foreign professors, one American and one Australian, were kidnapped at gunpoint just outside the campus. There has been no news of them since, and no group has claimed responsibility for their abduction. As news of the explosion circulated on social media, students tweeted that they were hearing gunfire close by and feared that the assailants had entered the campus. There were conflicting

reports on whether the gunmen had breached the compound, as well as unconfirmed reports of students being taken hostage. Afghan police and special security forces converged on the campus, which is surrounded by high walls and is located in a remote area of Kabul. No group asserted responsibility for the violence Wednesday, but the two-pronged assault was typical of attacks carried out by Taliban insurgents against government and foreign facilities in Afghanistan.

This one matters: ‘Dress rehearsal’ prepares starters

preseason snaps important. He said he needs to adjust to a “game-like atmosphere” to help him knock off the rust. “That’s why I’m excited, … because it will be a good dress rehearsal,” Cousins said. “We want to be sharp. We want to have a really good feeling coming off the field so that we can carry over to Week 1.” Amid annual grumbling that the NFL should trim the preseason from four games to two, several teams now play starters less than the traditional progression of one quarter in the first game, one half in the second, three quarters in the third and one quarter in the fourth. Instead, coaches such as Washington’s Jay Gruden are leaving the preseason finale to reserves and withholding starters earlier. Although the Redskins are now scrambling to find a primary running back while Matt Jones recovers from a sprained AC shoulder joint, the team has prioritized protecting players from injuries over

It’s supposed to be a dress rehearsal, but the Redskins are just hoping they don’t exit their third preseason game naked and afraid. Many starters will get their only extensive snaps before the regular season when the Bills travel to FedEx Field on Friday. Eight starters were rested against the Jets last week, and those players will likely be benched against Tampa Bay on Sept. 1. That leaves Buffalo as the team’s only true preseason test. The risk of injury always looms, but players need time to adjust to the speed of the game outside of practice. Is one game enough? “I don’t know that I need to play in four [preseason games],” quarterback Kirk Cousins said, “but to play in some is very helpful, and I think that’s what this Friday night will be all about.” Cousins said a chance to find his playing rhythm makes

getting them playing time. And it’s working — Washington’s most serious injury occurred before training camp, when linebacker Junior Galette tore an Achilles tendon doing drills on his own. Given the lack of live tackling in offseason camps and the limited hitting in training camp, preseason games are still necessary to sharpen defenses and prepare quarterbacks to face a live pass rush. Heading into Friday, Gruden sounds more interested in less tangible concerns. “I think you want to get
some positive vibes going,” he said. “You want to come out with some great energy. And I think you just want to display what we’re all about — the effort, getting out of the huddle, tempo, all of that stuff. Offensively, defensively, the communication, all of that is very necessary.” On Friday, the club gets one chance to show it’s ready for the regular season. Hopefully, it’s enough.

Durkin names Hills No. 1 QB Fifth-year senior wins five-man race in camp to lead the Terrapins
Giants: Brown’s one-game ban isn’t too short
NICK WASS (AP)
MARYLAND Coach DJ Durkin announced Wednesday that fifth-year senior Perry Hills will be the team’s starting quarterback. Whether that solves one of the Terrapins’ most vexing problems from last year will be decided starting Sept. 3 against Howard. “We’re excited to move forward with Perry Hills as our starting quarterback,” Durkin said in a statement. “Perry has embraced this challenge from Day One and has put in the work and shown improvement every day. He’s grasped our offense ... and has shown tremendous leadership.” The decision marks the second consecutive season Hills has won the starting job. But unlike last year, he was viewed as the frontrunner given his experience and performance in spring practice. Maryland’s quarterback play was among the worst in the country during last year’s 3-9 finish, with turnovers serving as the primary deficiency. Hills started the first two games last season before being demoted to third string in favor
Perry Hills was benched after two starts in 2015 but came back and finished with eight TDs and 13 interceptions.
of the strong-armed Caleb Rowe. But Rowe threw 12 interceptions over four games, and Hills returned as the starter in a more run-oriented offense for most of the final two months. He missed the penultimate game against Indiana with mononucleosis. For the season, Hills completed 90 of 180 passes for 1,001 yards, eight touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Durkin declared a five-man race last month and left the job open during camp.

The Chargers have withdrawn their contract offer to Joey Bosa and will restructure a new deal that takes into account his absence from the team.

San Diego said it offered an initial signing bonus larger than any given in the last two drafts. (AP)

But the competition took a turn early after Rowe, another senior considered to be Hills’ biggest competition, sat out more than a week with an undisclosed injury. While Rowe returned last week and looked crisp, he was held out of 11-on-11 drills and didn’t participate during the live scrimmage last Saturday. Durkin and his staff also evaluated redshirt freshman Gage Shaffer, as well as true freshmen Max Bortenschlager and Tyrrell
Pigrome, the latter of whom has earned second-team reps and has dazzled at times with his ability to make plays outside the pocket. Rowe and Pigrome are now the leading contenders to win the backup position, although either could potentially supplant Hills should his performance suffer early on. Durkin has said the position will continue to be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. ROMAN STUBBS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NFL Giants owner John Mara said Wednesday he was fine with the NFL’s suspension of kicker Josh Brown for one game, despite allegations Brown abused his ex-wife as many as 20 times prior to the Giants signing him to a two-year, $4 million extension last spring. “Based on the facts that were placed in front of us, we’re comfortable with our decision to re-sign Josh and the league’s suspension,” an emotional Mara said. “The easiest thing for us to do would be to get a new kicker. We’re trying to be fair to Josh.” Brown, 37, was arrested in May 2015, when he allegedly grabbed his ex-wife Molly by the throat and held her down with his knee in their Woodinville, Wash., home. Brown was charged with fourth-degree domestic assault. Five days later, King County prosecutors dropped the charges because of insufficient evidence. Brown’s ex-wife reportedly dropped the charges. After the NFL hit Brown with a one-game suspension instead of the six games mandated by its new personal conduct policy, Molly Brown told media she was physically accosted at least 20 times, including once when she was pregnant in 2009. Mara said Wednesday he was aware of the entire situation. “A lot of time, people try to make it black and white,” Mara said. “There are two sides to everything.” JIM HAGUE (AP)

The vanilla custard from Goodies is luscious enough to stand on its own. Sandwich it between doughnut halves and things start getting extra-decadent. Donutwich varieties include red velvet, apple cinnamon and maple bacon, each drizzled with an accompanying sauce. All are more than generously sized, so bring friends — and plenty of napkins.
Taco Choco
Start by ordering two ice cream flavors, making sure Cookies & Cookie Dough is one of them. Next, ask for them inside a quarter-pound chocolate chip and walnut cookie. Then upgrade the cookie volcano by requesting it inside a house-made waffle cone bowl. Say yes to the optional chocolate and caramel sauces. There’s no point in being coy about this.
Room 11’s Taco Chocos come around only once a month, but they’re worth the wait. The hefty frozen treat — a fancy riff on the Choco Taco — consists of a taco-shell-shaped waffle cone filled with ice cream and toppings. The dessert is so big it’s served with a steak knife for easy sharing. The flavor of August’s batch will be revealed on Twitter soon — don’t expect anything basic, and get there fast.

Don’t be afraid of the wheel: “People tend to treat it daintily, but you need to hold it firmly and know you’re going to get your hands dirty,” says Ken Cho, shop manager for Northeast’s Gearin’ Up Bicycles.
Relax and have fun: “Don’t take yourself too seriously, express yourself and the music, and try to dance like no one’s watching,” says Greg David, artistic director of local dance troupe Culture Shock Washington.
Show some skin: “Hula-hoopers wear skimpy outfits for a reason: It’s easier to feel where the hoop is on bare skin,” says D.C.-area hula hoop instructor Regina Armenta. Pick a heavy hoop: “Heavier hoops have more momentum, and they are easier to feel so your body can know which way to wiggle,” Armenta says. More experienced hoopers can go with lighter hoops. Be on the level: To get started, make sure your hoop is parallel to the ground. If it’s tilted up or down, it’s going to fall faster, Armenta says.
THU SEPT 29 THE BIRD AND THE BEE WE ARE 3 BLOCKS FROM THE U STREET / CARDOZO METRO STATION TICKETS: www.TICKETFLY.com
Put one foot in front of the other and rock: “The movement isn’t circular like a belly dancer; it’s more back-and-forth or, for some people, side-to-side,” Armenta says.
Don’t starve yourself beforehand: Have something light in the morning, like a yogurt, says Wayne Algenio, the Queens, N.Y., competitive eater who holds the world record for downing the most Carolina Reaper peppers in under a minute. “You don’t want to go in completely drained of energy.” Drink plenty of water: Water helps the food go down. Since you can only get so full in three minutes, you might as well drink up, Algenio says.
Avoid pinch flats: Make sure the tire tube is fully inside the tire before you pump it up and take off, he says. Otherwise, a tiny bit of tube will get pinched between the road and the tire and pop like a balloon.
Don’t overstuff your mouth: Smaller bites swallowed efficiently are better than big bites that slow you down, Algenio says.
Cheat on the pumping: If you can get away with it, do half pumps rather than full ones. “You don’t need the tire perfectly inflated for such a short race,” Cho says.
Stay focused: Announcers don’t always have the right info, and they may say you’re ahead when you’re not, Algenio says. “Don’t stop, no matter what,” he says.
Set the bike to its top gear: To go 20 feet as fast as possible, “you’re going to want to pedal like crazy and have the handlebars set lower than the seat,” Cho says.
Get into the rhythm. For hiphop, start by feeling the beat in your bones and then key in on particular sounds, like a recurring trumpet riff, that inspire specific movements, David says. Amaze with grace. For ballet music, tuck your tailbone, pretend a string is pulling your head up, point your toes and move like you’re weightless, David says. Be grounded. For modern dance, “try feeling heavy,” David says. “Don’t be afraid to throw yourself on the ground and roll around.”

MIRAMAX/ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS
FILM Before they were Barack and Michelle, they were … Barack and Michelle. “Southside With You,” opening Friday, is a fictionalized account of the Obamas’ real-life first date in 1989 — though Michelle (Tika Sumpter) won’t admit it’s a date until about two-thirds of the way through. Writer-director Richard Tanne follows the couple around Chicago’s South Side as they take in an art exhibit, attend a community meeting, go see “Do the Right Thing” and then grab some ice cream. The date/not-a-date starts on a note far removed from the White House. When Barack (Parker Sawyers) picks Michelle up, the first thing she notices is the smell of cigarette smoke in the car. The second is a rust hole in the floorboard, through which the road is clearly visible. Tanne wanted that moment in the film to humanize the first couple. “Not only is that an established biographical fact and something both Barack and Michelle have referred to, but I had a car like that,” Tanne says. (President Obama and the first lady were not involved with the movie; Tanne relied on public information and his imagination to construct the story.) “And I remember feeling self-conscious
Tika Sumpter and Parker Sawyers play the future first couple when they were just getting to know each other.
“The M.O. for making the movie was to depict that day … without any sort of selfconsciousness about what they went on to accomplish.” RICHARD TANNE, writer-director of “Southside With You,” a fictionalized account of the Obamas’ first date
when I picked up my girlfriend for our first date. I remember wondering, ‘Is she noticing the dust on the dashboard and the cracked rear-view mirror and is she not mentioning it just because she wants to be nice?’ You can bring your own experience to a story that maybe feels much grander but in actuality can be brought down to scale.” Part of working on that smaller scale, Tanne says, was keeping the focus on the two young lawyers and avoiding any knowing nods about the couple’s future.

It’s been 400 years since Shakespeare passed through nature to eternity, and still we’re perfectly happy to watch two hours’ (or more) traffic on the stage. O, brave new world that allows us to watch performances recorded all the way from that sceptered isle where the Globe theater lies. Now, D.C. audiences can watch some of the best Shakespearean actors speak the speech trippingly on the tongue, when The Globe on Screen presents “The Merchant of Venice,” starring Jonathan Pryce, right, as Shylock. (“Richard II” arrives in mid-September.) If you missed Pryce in his stop at the Kennedy Center with this production, sigh no more — you’ve got another chance. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)
“The M.O. for making the movie was to depict that day — just that moment in time — without any sort of self-consciousness about what they went on to accomplish together, the history they went on to make,” Tanne says. “[It] was engineered to be a collection of moments as two people connect and fall in love. So I was less concerned with the predictability or inevitability of how it ends. First and foremost, I wanted to tell just a romantic story about two people.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)
In “Don’t Breathe,” out Friday, thieves break into a blind man’s house and come to regret it. Holding your breath for a long time is usually a bad idea, since breathing is good for people, but here are some movies where oxygen takes a back seat. ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE ONE — THE PHANTOM MENACE’: Qui-
Gon and Obi-Wan have to avoid breathing when poisonous gas floods into the room. Seems the Force would be handy on those nights the dog eats something that doesn’t sit well with him. ‘MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — ROGUE NATION’: Tom Cruise
has to navigate an underwater turbine in a scene that lasts nearly six minutes; just try holding your breath that long. We’ll wait. With defibrillators. ‘APOLLO 13’: When a mission engineer realizes that there’s only enough oxygen for two astronauts when there are three, Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) quips, “Maybe I should just hold my breath.” The other two agree and make it home without incident. ‘GRAVITY’: Since she was wearing a space suit, Sandra Bullock could hurtle untethered through space while breathing normally. That didn’t mean anyone in the audience was. ‘HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE’: Gillyweed
lets Harry survive underwater for a long time, but nothing is powerful enough to get him out of the most messed-up high school competition in history.

BOAT BURNING
Funchamania runs wild on DC! 9:45 late shows Friday & Saturday
The guitarists of Boat Burning, seen rehearsing with founder Andras Fekete, center, vastly outnumber the Duggars.
Forget about 11. This concert goes to 70. ‘Boat Burning’ presents a boatload of guitarists out to make some noise MUSIC Not all rockers leave their band to go solo. On Friday, nearly six dozen guitarists from local bands will step away from their regular gigs to sit in with a way bigger group at “Boat Burning: Music for 70 Guitars.” The concert, at the Black Cat, will feature a chorus of 70 guitarists, including Geordie Grindle (The Teen Idles), Rick Irby (Paperhaus), Jim Thomson (Gwar), Adrian Erlinger (Sligo Creek Stompers) and Jason Mogavero (Jack on Fire). The event will benefit DC Vote, which advocates for D.C. statehood. “It’s a very collaborative and cooperative approach to music,” says Robin Diamond, a local musician, composer and member of Boat Burning, the musical collective/band that has been organizing this massive annual performance since its start in Chapel Hill, N.C., in 2011. (The event
migrated to D.C. in 2014.) “It’s as much a show for the audience as for the musicians participating.” The teamwork doesn’t end with the event. “It’s a chance for networking and cross-pollination,” says Andras Fekete, the founder of Boat Burning, who notes that new projects and collaborations have resulted from connections made at previous shows. The 70 guitarists will sit along the walls in four groups, with the composer-conductor in the middle — Fekete, Diamond and fellow Boat Burning member Jonathan Matis will switch off to direct their own compositions — and audience members free to roam around in between. “It’s an immersive experience,” Fekete says. The guitarists are given general guidelines for rhythm and progression patterns in advance, but much of the music is improvised on the spot by the composer-conductor, who signals to each of the four groups when to change harmonies. The multi-instrument ensemble will play eight compositions, including one that mimics a game
of telephone, another that has the guitarists strum with paintbrushes, and one based on three adjacent whole tones collectively called “the Devil’s interval” — the sound is so dissonant that it was considered evil in 18th-century Europe. A few pieces require the guitarists to tune all their strings to E, which creates “rattling, unintentional tones and phantom instruments,” Fekete says. “The harmonics are otherworldly.” No one gets a guitar solo, though the audience will be able to hear individual musicians’ contributions. “It’s a chorus, with each musician expressing the voice that is their guitar,” Diamond says. “All the guitarists come with their own personalities — in how they tune their instruments, their styles, etc.,” Fekete says, adding that this is a chance for the musicians to explore what their guitars can do. “There’s no way to explain it. You just have to be there when all hell breaks loose.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES
For the National Park Service’s centennial, make tracks for these exceptional sites The National Park Service has been celebrating its centennial all year, but now the real festivities have arrived: Thursday officially marks the agency’s 100th birthday, and to honor the occasion, it’s offering free admission to every national park through Sunday. And you don’t have to drive all the way to Shenandoah to get in on the fun. The D.C. area is packed with sites managed by the National Park Service — some that are known, others less so; some that are free, others totally worth the cash. Here are the area’s standouts.

It offers lessons and camps for serious equestrians and pony rides for young children, but anyone can pay $40 for a quick introductory lesson and a guided trail ride through the park. Warning: Reservations fill up well in advance. FRITZ HAHN 5100 Glover Road NW; $40 per person (maximum four riders per group).
MOST INTERESTING MIX-UP
Old Stone House The oldest structure on its original foundation in the city, the Old Stone House in Georgetown was built in 1765 on a spot that was technically in Maryland, since D.C. didn’t exist yet. When George Washington and Pierre L’Enfant were surveying the area, Washington stayed nearby at John Suter’s Fountain Inn. Suter’s son, also named John, owned a clock shop housed in the Old Stone House (you can see one of his clocks when you visit). Over the years, Suter’s shop and his dad’s inn got conflated in people’s minds, and the clock shop was preserved to honor Washington’s stay — even though there’s no evidence George ever set foot in the place.

This quiet spot on the C&O Canal is a great place to see migrating birds like the Louisiana waterthrush (en route back to Central America for the winter) as well as year-long residents, including plenty of bald eagles.

BEST VIEW OF THE MONUMENTS
Arlington House Arlington House, 321 Sherman Drive, Fort Myer, Va. (parking at Arlington National Cemetery); free.
It’s been a century and a half since Col. Robert E. Lee resigned from the U.S. Army and surrendered a front porch with an amazing view in the process. Today there’s even more to see from the portico of Arlington House, a giant Greek revival mansion that belonged to Lee’s wife, Mary, a granddaughter of Martha Washington. High on a hill above the Eternal Flame and the rest of Arlington Cemetery, the home offers clear views across the Memorial Bridge and the Potomac River, including of memorials, the U.S. Capitol and planes landing and taking off at the airport.

BEST THING TO DO ON A BREEZY DAY
Sailing at Dyke Marsh Belle Haven Marina, intersection of Belle Haven Road and George Washington Memorial Parkway, Alexandria; rentals start at $35 per hour; classes available.
One of D.C.’s few remaining tidal floodplains, Dyke Marsh provides a glimpse into what the Potomac used to look like. It’s also a great place to sail. Belle Haven Marina, situated in the park at the water’s edge, rents sailboats for as little as $35 an hour and also offers sailing classes. If you prefer muscle power to wind, rent a kayak instead. Either way, you’ll be gliding silently on the water — one of the best ways to see shy wildlife like marsh wrens and least bitterns. SADIE DINGFELDER

COOLEST CAROUSEL
The Dentzel Carousel at Glen Echo Park The carousels on the Mall and at the National Zoo have their fans, but the 1921 Dentzel Carousel at Glen Echo Park is the oldest and arguably the most beautiful. Riders can pick from dozens of exquisitely detailed horses, ostriches, rabbits, a giraffe, a deer, a tiger and a lion, or just relax in a “chariot” while the carousel spins and the rare Wurlitzer band organ pipes a tune. FRITZ HAHN 7300 MacArthur Blvd., Glen Echo, Md.; open Wednesdays through Sundays in August, Saturdays and Sundays in September, $1.25 per ride.
There is no free parking for free performances.

BEST PLACE TO PITCH A TENT
Prince William Forest Park Within the 15,000-acre park are more than 20 miles of paved and gravel roads for biking, 37 miles of
trails for hiking and plenty of spots to sit by a campfire drinking beer (except at the Turkey Run Ridge camping section, where alcohol is not allowed). Some campsites have full hookups for RVs, while others are bare-bones spots for those who really want to rough it. You can even rent a rustic private cabin in camps that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY

The pavilion provides free skate rentals every day through Labor Day. Once you get tired of doing splits and spins (or just shuffling) around the concrete oval, visit the nearby pirate-ship playground or take a walk along the river.

CHILLEST URBAN ESCAPE
Theodore Roosevelt Island It’s hard to believe this refuge is less than a 15-minute drive from downtown D.C. Make the trek by car, or bike there via the Mount Vernon Trail. However you get there, prepare to feel totally at ease once you arrive: After you’ve crossed the footbridge onto the lush island, Rosslyn’s high-rises and Georgetown’s waterfront will seem miles away. Roosevelt’s memorial can feel eerily quiet even on weekends, making it the perfect destination for a quick escape of sightseeing and hiking. EMILY CODIK George Washington Memorial Parkway, northbound lanes between Roosevelt Bridge and Key Bridge, Arlington; free.

East Potomac Miniature Golf Course 972 Ohio Drive SW; open daily through Sept. 5, Saturdays and Sundays through October; adults: $7, seniors and 18 and younger: $6.
According to the National Register of Historic Places, the mini-golf course in East Potomac Park, dating back to 1930, is the oldest continually operating miniature golf course in the country. It’s decidedly old-school, with 18 long, stone-edged holes that are harder than they look. Instead of spinning windmills or vertical loops, ponds and tunnels serve as hazards. The breeze coming off the water makes for a pleasant play, and the clubhouse serves ice cream and beer. FRITZ HAHN

Sweet relief: The aftertaste of a D.C. trend When I arrived at Georgetown Cupcake for the first of what would be three visits in two weeks, I was immediately disappointed. Where was the famous line? Since the bakery opened in 2008, I’d been reading about lines that wrapped around the block, obstructing traffic and drawing hecklers. People reportedly queued up in snow, rain and punishing heat. On a hot summer day in 2010, one woman even passed out — and then refused medical attention for fear of losing her place in line. Local cupcake lovers, I bring you good news: Most of the time, you can now get your Georgetown Cupcake fix in about as much time as it takes to get a Starbucks coffee. (Still too long for you? Preorder online the day before and skip the wait, or try the Bethesda store.) Even during peak demand, at 6 p.m. last Saturday, I waited less than 30 minutes. And yet, the myth of the epic Georgetown Cupcake line persists — perhaps because the M Street store is so small that any more than a few customers at a time causes a line to form outside. When I was in what turned out to be a 10-minute queue on a recent Friday afternoon, one woman shouted at us from her car, “Is it worth the wait?” That prompted a chorus of
simultaneous, contradictory answers: “No,” said a middleaged man in a Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt. “We don’t know yet,” replied a young woman in an Army uniform. “Yes!” exclaimed an athletic-looking mom with two kids in tow. The mom must have been answering on behalf of her kids, because she bought only two cupcakes when she reached the front of the line. “Are you all sharing?” I asked. “No, I don’t really like sweets,” she replied. Later, when she was taking a photo of her kids with their cupcakes, I asked if she wanted to get in the picture herself. “No!” she exclaimed, apparently unwilling even to be pictured with that many calories. “Thanks, though,” she tacked on. After cupcake eating, picture taking is the second-most popular activity at Georgetown Cupcake. That’s because the store was at the center of a reality series called “DC Cupcakes” that ran on TLC from 2010 to 2013. The bakery has helpfully hung giant pink promotional signs in the windows for people to pose with, though details about the show have been covered up. The signs now read “DC cupcake All New #cupcakecam on TLC.” That hashtag refers to a website where people can watch the cupcakes being made and packaged live. The old signs, and perhaps the store itself, are relics from a time when cupcakes were trending, spurring think

pieces about the deeper meaning of the sweets. Were we craving cupcakes as a return to the simplicity of childhood? Or did they represent a single serving of sadness, the pastry equivalent of bowling alone? Whatever the reason for the cupcake bubble, it seems to be over, and the pastry trends that have followed — Cronuts, doughnuts, macarons — never really took off. So now that
the hype’s subsided, how do the cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcake hold up? In my opinion, they are definitely worth a 13-minute wait (my average across the three trips). I tried many flavors, and they were all good — except the bananapineapple, which tasted like fruitcake mated with overly sweet banana bread. The best flavors I tried were the chocolate ganache, peanut butter fudge and butterscotch waffle cone cupcakes. These were all moist, flavorful and rich without being dense. I also enjoyed the Key lime cupcake, which had a nice tart edge to it. What I don’t recommend is

buying a dozen cupcakes and eating most of them yourself, which is what I did Saturday. In my defense, I brought them to a party to share, but it turned out to be a party of health nuts. Carrot sticks were snarfed up, the cupcakes went mostly untouched, and I felt compelled to pick up the slack. This led, predictably, to much moaning and stomach-clutching later that night. So while Georgetown Cupcake has proven the lasting power of single-serving cakelets, I think the party’s over for me. At least for a little while.

the so-called sharing economy, brought on by such companies as Uber, Lyft and Airbnb? That’s what author Arun Sundararajan, a professor at New York University, aims to answer with his new book, “The Sharing Economy.” In the book, which he’ll discuss on Tuesday at Busboys and Poets, Sundararajan considers what the future could look like if sharing becomes an even bigger economic force.

A gifted singer-songwriter, the 26-year-old Texan has already left her mark on the country music charts. When she references Hank Williams and Johnny Cash on her breakout hit “My Church,” you know she’s learned from the best.

@CODEXRAU comes up with lyrics about Tropical Storm Gaston in a parody of the signature song by the cocky villain in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” The seventh tropical storm of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season formed off the coast of Africa on Monday. After the storm was named Gaston, social media users created memes and tweets referencing the Disney character. On Wednesday, some meteorologists predicted the storm would gather enough momentum to become a hurricane; it is not expected to hit the United States.

“That’s just ruined all the good work you’ve done as a dad and a teacher.” DAVID CREED comments on a Facebook photo posted by a father of his 8-year-old daughter eating the “warm, quivering heart” of a deer she had just shot. The man, a New Zealand police constable, came under fire from many social media users for posting the graphic photo, while others noted that biting the heart of one’s first kill is a hunting tradition.
“ [It’s] offensive without being a term of abuse [because] it reminds many people of times when we were … abused.” JOHN H. M CWHORTER, at slate.com,
on Amy Robach, who referred to black people as “colored people” Monday on “Good Morning America” during a segment on diversity in Hollywood. Robach later released a statement explaining she had meant to say “people of color.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may not be able to listen to everyone who wants to speak with you, but certain warnings will come through loud and clear.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can share more than a laugh with someone who has been by your side for quite a while.
TODAY: While not extreme, the heat returns with partly sunny skies and highs heading for the low 90s. Meanwhile, the humidity rises solidly into the moderate range, with dew points into the mid- to upper 60s, courtesy of a light breeze from the south at 5 to 10 mph. We have a chance of an isolated evening storm.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re in charge of more than you know. Think things through carefully, and don’t make the mistake of believing you’re invulnerable. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can do much to help a friend, but remember that there will be moments that require you to step back.

Comedian Amy Schumer says she was hospitalized this summer with bronchitis while shooting a film with Goldie Hawn in Hawaii.

‘We’re going to Disney World!’ The U.S. women’s gymnastics team — Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez — saw Tony Award-winning musical “Hamilton” on Tuesday and gave the show a standing ovation.
