Don’t bite the hand feeding you, but the one lifting you is fair game
Police in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, were surprised last week when a woman showed up at their front office and presented them with a long white snake in a cardboard box. She said she and a friend had spotted the reptile in an alley and brought it to the police, not knowing what else to do, the Northumbria Police wrote on Facebook. Police dubbed the creature Sandra and passed it on to the RSPCA, which will seek its owner. (EXPRESS)
A Wisconsin motorist who was having car trouble pulled over to find a snake under the hood. Chris Nguyen was driving his mother’s SUV when he discovered the 4-foot ball python. Police in Omro tried to wriggle the snake free before calling a snake rescuer for help. WLUK-TV reports that it took hours to free the snake, which had wrapped itself around the engine. The snake’s owner said it had been missing for more than a month. (AP)
A second-grade teacher in Hector, Ark., found a snake in her classroom at Hector Elementary School, KARK-4 reported Thursday. Principal Kara Rohr, a former parks employee who has experience working with snakes, offered to help remove the reptile — which promptly bit her on the thumb. Fortunately, the snake was not venomous. Maintenance workers released it into the wild away from the school. (EXPRESS)

All-women ride hailing? The female-friendly app coming to D.C. touts safety, but is it legal?
GETTY IMAGES SAFR
TRANSPORTATION A new ride-hailing app that caters to women by letting drivers and riders choose their preferred gender of the person who will be sharing their vehicle is on its way to D.C. this fall and — who knows? — maybe even the Supreme Court. The new service is Safr, and it’s built on the idea that women feel more comfortable driving or riding with other women. It rolled out about a year ago in Boston. Safr talks a lot in its pitch about “empowering” women. Though Safr is hiring men, too, its website and its boss make it clear that its reason to be is to lure female drivers and riders to the app with the promise that they won’t have to share a car with the opposite sex if they don’t want to. “We want to make sure that everything we are doing, especially on the ride-sharing side of it, is that we are giving equal opportunities to women to become a part of the gig economy in the

transportation sector,” Safr chief executive Syed Gilani said. Women make up only about 20 percent of the drivers on more established platforms, Gilani said, but he believes Safr’s
special features will change that. Safr’s most notable feature allows users to express a preference for the gender of their driver or their passenger — a
feature that has also shown up in the app of RideAustin, a nonprofit ride-hailing service in Texas, as “female driver mode.” If a woman using Safr wants a female driver, and one is available, she’ll get a female driver. If not, the rider would have the option to cancel, Gilani said. Safr also touts several security features. Before the ride begins, users receive a color code that has to match driver and rider. There’s also a 24/7 ride-tracking center and a panic button that allows users to send an alert to the service, police or a personal contact. Gilani, when asked about the legal implications of a public transportation business that allows people to select the gender of others in the vehicle, said it’s no different from a woman’s asking for a female obstetrician, a female trainer at the public gym or a female security officer to conduct a pat-down at an airport. “We are a platform. We are not forcing anybody to select anybody. We are not saying you need to do that or you must do that,” Gilani said. “We are saying this is an option on our platform with our technology.”

Design, with safety in mind
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS RENDERING BY DESIGN WORKSHOP
THE DISTRICT When landscape architects recently began redesigning a wide, red-brick sidewalk in D.C.’s Chinatown, they initially focused on improving the stormwater runoff and making it easier for pedestrians to navigate safely. But last fall, after a driver plowed a truck into a bike path in lower Manhattan and killed eight people, they added a new goal: to protect people from terrorists using vehicles as weapons. Instead of throwing up rows of bollards or concrete barriers, they plan to install trees, bike racks and raised planters that will double as benches. They’re designed to make the sidewalk more pleasant while creating obstacles to stop an attacking vehicle or, better yet, dissuade a potential terrorist from trying. “When you look at it, you won’t say, ‘That’s there to protect pedestrians,’ but that’s what they’re doing,” said Robb Berg, of Design Workshop. The landscape architecture firm is redesigning the sidewalk on I Street between Sixth and Seventh streets NW as a prototype for the American Society of Landscape Architects, which has its offices on the block. “At no point will you see a bollard,” Berg said. “That’s the key. We’re taking that function and disguising it in all sorts of other elements.” In the past two years, more attackers have begun driving into crowds outside — in Nice, France;

London; Berlin; Charlottesville and Toronto, among other cities. The change in violent tactics comes at a sensitive time, amid a resurgence in urban bicycling and renewed attempts to encourage social interaction in public spaces. The goal, designers say, is to

secure open spaces in a way that’s obvious enough to ward off potential attackers but, unlike standard bollards and concrete barriers, attractive enough that passers-by and people using the area won’t notice. If you’ve never considered that the flowering planter where
you sit on your lunch break might be strategically positioned to stop a vehicle, then they’ve succeeded. In D.C., some sidewalks are already protected because they fall within the safety perimeters around federal buildings or monuments. Many of the bollards and concrete planters installed along sidewalks as a quick response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks are gradually being replaced. The National Museum of the American Indian, designed in the late 1990s when truck bombs were still the primary concern, uses large boulders to stop vehicles outside. They were initially intended as “grandfather rocks” to illustrate the connection between native people and the land, said Duane Blue Spruce, the architectural liaison between the museum and the design team. “We knew we didn’t want jersey barriers all over the place,” Blue Spruce said. “Immediately, our design team said, ‘We have these grandfather rocks. Let’s put more of them in certain locations.’ ” Diane Sullivan, director of urban design and plan review for the National Capital Planning Commission, said she believes the risks should be balanced against the need to keep public spaces feeling open. “This is a really important discussion about our public space,” said Sullivan, whose agency oversees planning for federal land in the Washington region. “These are spaces that you should feel welcome in. The more you try to secure them with rocks and bollards and other things, the less they’re seen as welcoming.” KATHERINE SHAVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Facial software nabs impostor at Dulles airport TRANSPORTATION Officials said a 26-year-old man arriving at Dulles airport on Wednesday presented a French passport to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer. Using the new facial comparison biometric system, the officer determined the man did not match the image on the passport. The man was searched, and officers found his identification card from the Republic of Congo hidden in his shoe. CBP officials said they are not identifying the man until their investigation is complete. This is the first time CBP officials have caught a person using the new technology. Dulles is one of 14 airports using the technology, which was installed there only three days before the man was caught. “Facial recognition technology is an important step forward for CBP,” said Casey Durst, CBP’s Director of the Baltimore Field Office. “The new facial recognition technology virtually eliminates the ability for someone to use a genuine document that was issued to someone else.” CBP officials say the technology simplifies the arrival process for travelers, enabling them to move through screening more quickly. Law enforcement officials say such systems can help them identify and capture criminals more quickly. Critics have raised concerns about the accuracy of such systems and whether they compromise individuals’ privacy. LORI ARATANI (TWP)

THE DISTRICT President Trump was directly involved in meetings where officials decided to move forward with a controversial plan to build a new FBI headquarters in the nation’s capital, according to a government report issued Monday. The report from the General Services Administration inspector general cites two White House meetings in January and June of this year in which Trump participated. In the first of those meetings, participants agreed to move forward on a proposal to demolish the existing J. Edgar Hoover building in downtown Washington and build a new headquarters in the same spot.
MANUEL BALCE CENETA (AP)
Inspector general said president had say in plan to keep it in D.C.
Officials agreed to demolish the FBI headquarters in D.C. and build a new one in the same location.
While there is widespread agreement that the Hoover Building — a crumbling, sprawling piece of Brutalist architecture built in 1974 — does not meet the FBI’s needs, the plan to keep the FBI in Washington scraps a longheld plan to move the FBI to the Maryland or Virginia suburbs. Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Virginia
Democrat who supports moving the FBI to the suburbs, called for additional congressional hearings to uncover the extent of Trump’s involvement. He said the project is rife with conflicts of interest for Trump, whose Trump International Hotel is essentially across from the FBI headquarters. “When we began this investigation, the prospect that President Trump was personally involved in the government-led redevelopment of a property in close proximity to the Trump Hotel was dismissed as a conspiracy theory,” Connolly said. The extent of Trump’s involvement in the decision is unclear. The report indicates that while GSA employees confirmed the White House meetings with Trump, they received instructions not to divulge any statements Trump made at those meetings.

Young rider schools Metro At 4, Theo Reynolds knows his ABCs — and where to catch MARC
EHREN REYNOLDS
METRORAIL The other day, Ehren Reynolds and his 4-year-old son, Theo, looked at a map of the Metro system, as they do each day during their commute to child care. “You can get on the Yellow and Green, the Orange, Silver and Blue,” Theo said, as he pointed to L’Enfant Plaza on the map hanging on a wall at Gallery Place. “What stations haven’t we gone to?” asked his dad, a consumer protection attorney for the Justice Department. “We haven’t gone to Brookland.” “We went there to go to the potty,” Theo corrected him. And Ehren laughed because, indeed, they had gotten off there once to use the station’s restroom. Theo may still be learning his ABCs, but from his daily commutes, he’s also learned the system as well as any beatendown rider. On another recent day, as they headed from their home near the Wheaton station to Theo’s day care near Gallery Place, they were looking at a map on their Green Line train, playing a game as they usually do. On this day, it was “find the MARC.”
Theo Reynolds, 4, knows Metro well enough to spot a mistake on its map.
Theo pointed to Union Station and said the map was wrong because it didn’t say that you can get the MARC there. He knows because when the Red Line isn’t partially shut down, as it has been for the past month, their train stops at Union Station, and a voice says you can get on the MARC. “My son Theo, age 4, discovered an error on the WMATA map,” Ehren wrote in an email to Metro afterward. Not in a “What’s wrong with you people?” sort of way; more like, “Look how smart my kid is.”
Indeed, Theo had spotted what Metro spokesman Dan Stessel called a “rogue, outdated map.” Metro plans to reward Theo for his keen perception with a visit with some conductors. “We’re looking forward to meeting him,” Stessel said. In part, the father and son study the maps each day to pass the time, but they also do it because Ehren wants Theo to appreciate the transit system. Ehren is a counterpoint to the many (usually justified) complaints flying across social media
during all the single-tracking and service disruptions this summer. He gets it. Like thousands of others trying to get downtown, Ehren and Theo haven’t been able to take the Red Line all the way. They’ve had to transfer to the Green or Yellow lines at Fort Totten, because the Red Line is shut between that station and NoMa while the crumbling Rhode Island Avenue station is repaired. But Ehren, 40, has seen worse. He grew up in Brooklyn in the 1980s, when graffiti covered the windows of every New York subway train. He remembers the “unsafe feeling” of riding alone. Ehren said that when he his wife, Asha, moved to the D.C. area, they wanted a house near a Metro station. “It could be four walls with no roof, but it had to be by a station,” he said. There’s something more urbane about riding the subway. There’s more than just cars for Theo to look at each morning and afternoon — a gamut of races and ethnicities and socioeconomics. Some may ditch Metro after all the hassles. But when she starts day care next month, Theo’s 2-year-old sister, Hazel, will start coming along — as Ehren and Theo hold hands and, no doubt, look at a map. KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

Just enough riders heeded Metro warning METRORAIL When Metro geared up to launch a two-week construction project that would include severe disruptions on the Blue, Orange and Silver lines, the transit agency warned riders: “Only take Metro if you have no other option.” According to data from the transit agency, just enough riders heeded the warning to keep ridership at a capacity Metro could handle. During those two weeks, ridership on the system was down about 11 percent from the same period last August. Metro attributed the majority of that drop — about 9 points — to track work in the downtown core that eliminated the Blue Line east of the Potomac River and brought 20-minute waits between trains on the Orange and Silver lines. During peak periods during the shutdown, about 20,000 people traveled through the Rosslyn tunnel daily on the Orange and Silver lines — which, Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said, “is the theoretical maximum for two 8-car trains every 20 minutes.” The rest of the ridership dropoff was probably because of the ongoing Red Line project, which has halted train travel between the Fort Totten and NoMa stations, and continues to Sept. 3. In total, Metro estimates about 60,000 trips per day during the two-week project took place on other modes of transportation, or didn’t take place at all. MARTINE POWERS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Preliminary agreement excludes Canada and would replace NAFTA

EVAN VUCCI (AP)
ECONOMY In a snub to Canada, the Trump administration reached a preliminary deal Monday with Mexico to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement — a move that raised legal questions and threatened to disrupt the operations of companies that do business across the three-country trade bloc. President Trump suggested that he might leave Canada, America’s No. 2 trading partner, out of a new agreement. He said he wanted to call the revamped trade pact “the United StatesMexico Trade Agreement” because, in his view, NAFTA had earned a reputation as being harmful to American workers. But first, he said, he would give Canada a chance to get back in — “if they’d like to negotiate fairly.” To intensify the pressure on Ottawa to agree to his terms, the president threatened to impose new taxes on Canadian auto imports. Canada’s NAFTA negotiator, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, is cutting short a trip to Europe to fly to Washington today to try to restart talks. “We will only sign a new NAFTA that is good for Canada and good for the middle class,” said Adam Austen, a spokesman for Freeland, adding that “Canada’s signature is required.” Critics denounced the prospect

of cutting Canada out of a North American trade pact, in part because of the risks it could pose for companies involved in international trade. Many manufacturers have built complex but vital supply chains that cross all three NAFTA countries’ borders. Trump was quick to proclaim victory, though, pointing to Monday’s surge in stock prices, which was fueled in part by the apparent breakthrough with Mexico. “We just signed a trade agreement with Mexico, and it’s a terrific agreement for everybody,” the president said. “It’s an agreement that a lot of people said couldn’t be done.” Trump has condemned the 24-year-old NAFTA trade pact as a job-killing “disaster” for American workers. NAFTA reduced

most trade barriers between the three countries. But the president and other critics say it encouraged U.S. manufacturers to move south of the border to exploit low-wage Mexican labor. The preliminary deal with Mexico might encourage more manufacturing in the U.S. Yet it is far from final. Even after being formally signed, it would have to be ratified by lawmakers in each country. Congress wouldn’t vote on it until next year — after November midterm elections that could end GOP control of the House of Representatives. “There are still a lot of questions left to be answered,” said Peter MacKay, a former Canadian minister of justice, defense and foreign affairs. PAUL WISEMAN,
(THE WASHINGTON POST)
LUIS ALONSO LUGO AND ROB GILLIES (AP)
Details of the deal What’s in it? The deal aims to update the 1993 NAFTA trade pact and spur more manufacturing and investment in the U.S. and Mexico. It covers automobiles, intellectual property and labor rights. What’s not in the deal? It does not resolve the tariffs the Trump administration put on steel and aluminum earlier this year. It also does not resolve a broader issue over “232 tariffs,” taxes on foreign goods the administration has imposed in the name of national security.

U.N. cites genocide by Myanmar army MYANMAR U.N. investigators said Monday that the military leaders of Myanmar should be prosecuted for genocide against Rohingya Muslims in minority states. The call, accompanying a new report, amounts to some of the strongest language yet from U.N. officials who have denounced alleged human rights violations in Myanmar since a bloody crackdown began last August. The three-member “fact-finding mission” and their team, working under a mandate from the U.N.-backed Human Rights Council, assembled hundreds of accounts from expatriate Rohingya, as well as satellite footage and other information. “The military’s contempt for human life, dignity and freedom — for international law in general — should be a cause of concern for the entire population of Myanmar, and to the international community as a whole,” said fact-finding mission chair Marzuki Darusman. The team compiled accounts of crimes including gang rape, the torching of villages, enslavement,

and killings of children — some in front of their parents. The investigators said the situation in Myanmar should be referred to the International Criminal Court and, if not, to a special tribunal. They cited six military leaders as “priority subjects” for possible prosecution, including Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing. A longer list of names is available for use in future judicial proceedings.

Study finds THC in breast milk of moms using pot HEALTH Marijuana’s main mind-altering ingredient was detected in nursing mothers’ breast milk in a small study that comes amid evidence that more U.S. women are using pot during pregnancy and afterward. Experts say the ingredient, THC, could disrupt brain development and potentially cause harm, although solid evidence of that is lacking. The new study involved 50 nursing mothers who were using pot and provided breast milk samples to researchers at the University of California, San Diego. Lab testing found small amounts of THC in 34 of 54 samples up to six days after they were provided. Another form of THC, and cannabidiol, a pot chemical touted by some as a health aid, were detected in five samples. The study authors said “it is reasonable to speculate” that exposing infants to THC or cannabidiol “could influence normal brain development,” depending on dose and timing. Study co-author Christina Chambers said it’s not known if the amounts detected pose any risk, but her team is studying the children whose moms were involved to answer that question. In addition, an American Academy of Pediatrics report recommends against pot use while pregnant or nursing. Both the study and report were published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

In McCain’s final words, a rejection of Trumpism
NOPE, NOPE, NOPE
Study reveals possibility of super snake
PHOENIX In his final words to the nation, Sen. John McCain delivered a veiled rebuke of President Trump, calling on Americans to rally behind the country’s founding ideals rather than hiding behind walls and succumbing to political tribalism. Rick Davis, a McCain family spokesman who was also the Arizona Republican’s campaign manager and longtime adviser, read the letter in full at an emotional news conference Monday at which he also outlined plans for funeral and memorial services in honor of McCain, who died Saturday at 81. “We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe,” McCain wrote in the letter. “We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.” Trump campaigned on a promise to build a wall across the U.S. border with Mexico and force Mexico to pay for it. The extraordinary letter was a defiant coda to the years-long battle between the two men.

Writing to the nation, senator argues against walls and ‘tribal rivalries’
In a letter read Monday by a family spokesman, the late Sen. John McCain called on Americans not to “confuse patriotism with tribal rivalries.”
Trump has said that McCain, who spent more than five years as a POW in Vietnam, was “not a war hero,” and continued to snub the longtime senator throughout his battle with brain cancer. Flags at the White House were lowered Saturday night in honor of McCain, but they were raised Monday morning. After intense criticism, officials again lowered the flag Monday afternoon. “Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain’s service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to
fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment,” Trump wrote. Trump said he had requested that Vice President Pence speak at Capitol Hill services for McCain on Friday, and chief of staff John Kelly, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Ambassador John Bolton to represent the administration at the funeral Sunday at the U.S. Naval Academy. Trump was not invited to the funeral. Former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush are to deliver eulogies.
A study of Florida’s invasive pythons revealed a small number of crossbred Burmese and Indian pythons with the potential to become an Everglades super snake. For the study, published this week in Ecology and Evolution, researchers examined the tail tissue of 400 snakes captured in South Florida. While the majority of them appeared to be closely related Burmese pythons, like the one below, 13 had genetic markers from Indian pythons, a subspecies that, unlike the swamp-loving Burmese snake, prefers high, dry ground. Over time, some Everglades snakes could become better suited to a more varied landscape. (TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE)

Student loan official resigns, blasts Mulvaney GOVERNMENT The government’s top official overseeing the $1.5 trillion student loan market resigned in protest on Monday, citing what he says is the White House’s open hostility toward protecting the nation’s student loan borrowers. Seth Frotman will be stepping down as student loan ombudsman at the end of the week, according to his resignation letter. He has held the position since 2016, but has been with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since its inception in 2011. He is the latest high-level departure from the CFPB since Mick Mulvaney, President Trump’s budget director, took over in November. “You have used the bureau to serve the wishes of the most powerful financial companies in America,” Frotman wrote, addressing his resignation letter to Mulvaney. “The damage you have done to the bureau betrays these families and sacrifices the financial futures of millions of Americans.” Frotman also accused Mulvaney and his staff of deliberately hiding a report from the public that raised alarms that banks were overcharging student loan borrowers. Under Mulvaney, the CFPB has scaled back its enforcement work and has proposed revising or rescinding all of the rules and regulations it put into place under the Obama administration. KEN SWEET (AP)

The ‘Harvey Homeless’ CAROLYN VAN HOUTEN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
A year after the hurricane flooded areas of Texas, thousands of people are still living in water-ravaged homes
Susan and David Elliott sit with one of their rescue dogs this summer. Their bedroom is the only refuge in their flood-damaged home in Wharton, Texas.
WHARTON, TEXAS One year after Hurricane Harvey made its way out of the Gulf of Mexico and parked over southern Texas, thousands of residents throughout the region remain essentially homeless in their own homes. Everything they own is moldy, rotted, dusty, unsafe. Some wash dishes in the bathtub. Others still shower using a bucket. At least 197,000 homes were badly damaged in the floods, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety, a count that many suspect is low because not everyone with a damaged home reported it to authorities. In many working-class and lower-middle-class communities like Wharton, residents say they can afford only a fraction of the repairs necessary to make their homes livable. So they live in one room. Or on a relative’s sofa. “We are what Texans call the ‘Harvey Homeless,’ ” said Susan Elliott, whose house was pummeled with wave after wave of murky, mosquito-ridden water, several feet deep, during the August 2017 deluge. “There are days we feel paralyzed because we are out of money or
emotionally drained. We just keep trying, day by day, even a year later.” Recovery in Wharton has been monumentally slow, a draining slog that is due in part to the historic storm’s 60 inches of rain — thought to be one of the largest rainfalls in U.S. history — and in part to the fact that nearly 80 percent of households affected by Harvey did not have flood insurance, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Affordable-housing advocates call Harvey one of the largest housing disasters in American history, next to only Hurricane Katrina, which overwhelmed New Orleans in 2005. Because of the low levels of insurance, many people were financially blindsided when the storm hit, and their lives haven’t yet returned to normal. While the storm is long over, rebuilding could take years or even a decade for some, said Mary Comerio, an expert in disasters and an architecture professor at the University of California at Berkeley. “This is not a one-year process for most folks,” she said. “Those

The agency has been trying to focus on local preparedness. Officials and

relief experts say FEMA was never designed to be a complete safety net — leaving the most vulnerable residents open to catastrophic losses from massive storms. The desperation in some areas of Texas is widespread, such as in the coastal city of Port Arthur, where about half the 55,000 residents are still displaced as a result of the hurricane, according to John Beard, a former city council member. “I’ve seen so many houses where the floors are buckled,” he said. “There are some houses with gaps between the floor and wall so large you can see rodents eating through the drywall.” Elliott, 60, described the flooding as “a fast-moving river” that inundated almost everything in her home. It also destroyed thousands of dollars worth of her husband’s airbrush equipment, so he was unable to sustain his custom car-painting business and was unemployed for several months. “I just want walls,” she said, in tears. “We just want people to know things are not OK. We are still not OK.” EMILY WAX-THIBODEAUX (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Gamers baffled by Fla. shooting at tournament JACKSONVILLE, FLA. The suspect in a deadly shooting at a Florida video game tournament was known to barely speak to fellow gamers and sometimes exhibited an erratic playing style, according to other competitors, who were baffled that their virtual sport could lead to bloodshed. Authorities said 24-year-old David Katz of Baltimore killed two people and wounded nine others before fatally shooting himself Sunday at the “Madden NFL 19” tournament that was held at a riverfront mall in Jacksonville. “It just doesn’t make sense why he would do it,” gamer Shay Kivlen, 21, of Seattle, said Monday. “In ‘Madden,’ you never get so mad at a loss that you would want to do that.” Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams has declined to comment on what motivated Katz to open fire. According to court records, Katz had previously been hospitalized for mental illness. Divorce filings from his parents said that as an adolescent he was twice hospitalized in psychiatric facilities and that he was prescribed antipsychotic and antidepressant medications. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office identified the victims Monday as 22-year-old Elijah Clayton of Woodland Hills, Calif., and 28-year-old Taylor Robertson of Giles, W.Va. Brandi Pettijohn, a cousin of Clayton, said the family was “devastated by yet another senseless act of gun violence.” (AP)

Preseason takeaways
RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
Losing strategy: Sitting his starters won’t help Gruden looked way out of sync. Gruden can talk about practice habits all he wants, but the results say his preseason plan doesn’t work. If he wants to help assure he sees a sixth summer in Washington, he should change his strategy and play some starters Thursday. Let them find a rhythm. Have the offense develop some chemistry so it doesn’t falter and lose a very winnable game at Arizona on Sept. 9. “My whole intent is to get our starting group to Arizona healthy,” Gruden said, “and it looks like that’s what we’re on pace to do right now.” They’re on pace for another 0-1 start. Smith was awful against Denver. Several passes weren’t even close. That was a little surprising because he had looked so good since the start of offseason camps, but that’s the difference between workouts and games. The defense also was pathetic versus Denver, with awful tackling in the secondary and poor run defense up front. Even Gruden has conceded

NICK WASS (AP)
Based on what we’ve seen from the Redskins’ offense so far, Jay Gruden should start first-team quarterback Alex Smith in the preseason finale against the Ravens on Thursday. And the offensive line, and every other healthy starter, too. Forget about the risk of injury in a throwaway game. The whole point of the preseason is to get ready for opening day. Since Gruden has been the coach in Washington, the Redskins have never done that, going 0-4 in Week 1 games while averaging 12.3 points. After a 30-17 loss to the Eagles to open last season, Gruden said that maybe he should have played his starters more in August. What has he done this time? He’s played them even less. Smith sat one game and isn’t expected to play in Baltimore. He saw only one series against the Jets. Playing less than a half against the Broncos, he
The third week of NFL preseason games wrapped up Sunday, giving us the most complete picture of how teams look at this early stage. Here are three things we learned. (EXPRESS)
After losing the 2017 opener, Jay Gruden said that maybe he should have played his starters more in the preseason, but he hasn’t changed his plan.
there are two ways to look at the final preseason game. “I think you could make an argument either way,” he said. “On talk radio, I could argue one side, or argue the other. It’s just a matter of what I feel is best for this football team, and I feel like the most important thing for us right now is getting to Arizona healthy. Every time you take a snap in a pro football game, there’s certain risks involved.” That’s football, coach. Things happen. Losing rookie running back Derrius Guice in the preseason opener to a
season-ending ACL tear was a backbreaker. He might have become a star this year. Signing Adrian Peterson should help on that front, but fear of injuries shouldn’t overshadow the point of the preseason. With tough games against the Packers and Saints in Games 3 and 4, Washington can’t afford to lose early against the Cardinals and Colts. Embrace the risk. That’s the best way for the Redskins to succeed this season.
Alfred Morris is reunited with coach Kyle Shanahan — his former coordinator with the Redskins — on the 49ers. He looked sharp Saturday with 84 yards rushing at the Colts.
2 Down trend for Allen First-round pick Josh Allen may still win the starting QB job in Buffalo, but taking five sacks while throwing for just 34 yards in one half against the Bengals won’t help him.
With $95M extension, Giants star becomes highest-paid wideout NFL According to multiple reports Monday, the Giants agreed to give Odell Beckham Jr. a fiveyear extension that will make the 25-year-old the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL. The deal is worth about $95 million, with $65 million guaranteed.
Beckham’s $19 million average annual pay would top the $17 million for Steelers receiver Antonio Brown. The $95 million total also tops the $82.5 million deal that Mike Evans has with the Buccaneers. Beckham was a first-round draft pick in 2014 and a Pro Bowl selection in each of his first three seasons. He missed most of last year with a broken left ankle and was slated to make $8.4 million in the last year of his rookie deal.
In 47 games, Beckham has caught 313 passes for 4,424 yards and 38 touchdowns. He has not played in any of the Giants’ three preseason games as new coach Pat Shurmur has
Browns WR Josh Gordon won’t play in preseason finale, hopes to be ready for opener Sept. 9
taken a cautious approach with the catalyst to his offense coming off his first major injury as a pro. It is unlikely that he will play in the preseason finale Thursday against the Patriots, so his first
game action since being hurt Oct. 8 will be at home against the Jaguars on Sept. 9. The Giants reportedly talked to the Rams about trading Beckham this offseason, and many wondered whether the team wanted to commit so much money to a player who created disturbing news off the field. He drew criticism for going to Florida for a boat outing with teammates before a playoff loss to Green Bay in January 2017. Beckham’s reputation took another hit when a video was posted with him in a room where a hand-rolled cigarette was visible. A woman next to him had unidentified white powder on a nearby table.

Choosing the right sunscreen
PERSPECTIVE | THE WASHINGTON POST
Gym-goers are irked with fitness instructors telling them to smile TRENDS I recently spent an hour attempting Warrior 1 on a floating yoga mat as part of an “aqua-fit” workout. The instructor didn’t remind me to protect my knee or to engage my core. Instead, she wanted me to smile. We’re living in a world with Tshirts that warn, “Don’t tell me to smile.” Street harassment has long been documented and denounced. But in the gym, instructors haven’t gotten the message. As a fitness writer who has gone to a plethora of classes, I’ve been directed to turn up the corners of my lips while holding a burning chair pose, grin through shake-inducing dumbbell reps on the barre, and provide a “gran sonrisa” in a spin class in Mexico. Often the request is issued in the same tone as an actual fitness instruction: “Lean back, keep weight in your heels and smile at yourself in the mirror.” The only workouts that haven’t called for my smile? Boxing or CrossFit, which are more likely to skew male. “I come for the workout,” says New York City-based fitness
hobbyist Natalie Weeks. She’s not anti-smile, but is discomfited by what she describes as a level of “aggression” in instructors who repeatedly command class members to grin. Julie Ricevuto, another routine class-goer, says, “Half of the time when I’m working out, it’s early in the morning or after a long day at work — both times in which I’m not exactly in the mood to smile through an exceptionally hard workout class.” Workouts are an opportunity to breathe loudly, sweat and generally appear uncomposed in a room full of people who are doing the same. A smile cue shatters that illusion, reminding exercisers to stay presentable even while dripping with sweat. But to smile for someone else’s benefit is a gendered code, one that no woman should be forced to uphold when already holding a plank. Some instructors may mean well. It’s widely believed that smiling can improve your overall mood in and out of the gym. But studies about the effect of smiling on a workout have been inconclusive, and some test subjects even performed worse when forced to smile. So why do trainers urge their clients to smile? “I think a lot of instructors choose to cue smiling because

Smiling while squatting? No thanks. Channeling anger Patrick Frost, a Miami-based instructor at Barry’s Bootcamp, would rather his students channel anger. “I’ll actually encourage my clients to take their anger out on me by simply yelling, ‘[Expletive] you.’ ” That acknowledgment of difficulty, he explains, can release tension from the room — and lead to genuine laughs and high-fives.

of their own newness to teaching or nervousness in general. It’s hard to look at a roomful of sweaty people with furrowed brows and remain composed, so I understand where they’re coming from even if I don’t agree with it,” says Jessica Kulick, a certified yoga instructor in NYC. “Everyone wears their effort differently, whether that’s by gritting their teeth, crinkling their eyebrows, steeling their jaw or simply looking neutral,”
Free yoga class is at Georgetown Waterfront Park at 9:30 a.m. Saturday
says Kulick. “Smiling is a pretty unusual reaction to challenging physical activity.” Instead of directly requesting a smile from her students, Kulick encourages them to notice if the muscles have tightened in their faces. Asking students to smile may “pull them out of their own experience,” agrees Jane Kivnick, an instructor at Y7 yoga in Brooklyn. “It also adds the expectation that we need to be enjoying every moment of the practice. Yoga isn’t necessarily meant to feel good all of the time.” Joanna Ross-Tash, a yoga instructor at Sky Ting in New York City, wouldn’t completely rule out requesting smiles. “If I have a class where the students are facing each other, I might use ‘smile at the person in front of you’ to remind people that they are in a communal practice,” she says, and that their actions can affect those around them.

In July, Hawaii banned the sale of sunscreens with the chemicals oxybenzone and octinoxate, because of the damage they cause to coral reefs. Many prefer sunscreens without those ingredients anyway — physical sunscreen, which contains minerals like zinc and titanium oxide, can be gentler on skin, for example. No matter which sunscreen you choose, be sure it’s broad-spectrum, meaning it filters both UVA and UVB rays, says Kimberly Morel, dermatologist at the Columbia University Medical Center. Look for products that are waterresistant for 80 minutes, and use at least SPF 15, but preferably SPF 30 to 50. And be sure to check the ingredients: Some physical sunscreens still incorporate chemicals. LINDSEY M. ROBERTS (TWP)

Q. I am most attracted to unavailable men. This has resulted in affairs that make me the other woman. This dynamic is pretty satisfying for me, thrilling even — I get just the attention and excitement I want, and don’t have to deal with the drudgery of a relationship. I know it is wrong on some levels, but I’m not sure I can convince myself to settle for something more conventional. People make the choice to “settle” for healthier paths every day. Ultimately, you’ll choose to stop if and when you decide that the costs are worse than the benefits. It’s a calculus that varies by person but ultimately comes down to this: What are your values? Not just ethics, though that’s important — but also, what do you value in life? For most people, the “drudgery” of conventional
relationships is outweighed by the trust, stability, emotional intimacy, love and companionship they can provide. There may very well be a reason why these things seem unattractive or unattainable to you — hence their inability to take up major real estate in the “benefits” column. It’s worth exploring, because my guess is that if you truly didn’t care about the negatives, you wouldn’t have written in.

As his mom, I know he would be too nice to ever tell her to cut it out, but it makes me uncomfortable every time we are together. It’s nice that he is nice, but it would be a very good lesson for you to help him brainstorm things he can say to her when he is uncomfortable. And to teach him that standing up for himself is not un-nice. Perhaps you can have a signal between you, where you set up the shot and he slam dunks it.

‘America to Me’ doesn’t look for easy answers
verbatim
TELEVISION The title of Steve James’ new documentary series, “America to Me,” comes from the Langston Hughes poem “Let America Be America Again.” The poem describes the feeling of being both a part of and apart from a great institution, one filled with extraordinary promise yet stymied by racial division. That is the predicament black students face at Oak Park and River Forest High School (OPRF), the suburban Chicago school chronicled in “America to Me.” Nestled in an affluent neighborhood west of the city, steps away from the home where Ernest Hemingway was born, the 3,000-student OPRF is the type of public school that has families clamoring to live in the district. What’s more, it’s a model of diversity: 54 percent white students, 23 percent black, 11 percent Hispanic, 9 percent multiracial and 3 percent Asian. Yet OPRF, like America itself, struggles to live up to its lofty aspirations, particularly in the wide achievement gap between white and black students. And that is what James — a longtime Oak Park resident and the director of the acclaimed 1994 documentary “Hoop Dreams” — seeks to explore in “America to
STARZ
The Starz docuseries explores the racial gap at a Chicago high school
Kendale McCoy is one of the students featured in Starz’s “America to Me.”
Me,” a 10-part Starz series that premiered Sunday. “One of the reasons I wanted to do this series from the get-go was because it was not a poor Chicago public school with no resources, a besieged community, gang violence and all the things that we’ve seen,” James says. “I felt like we could get at deeper-seated issues of race in education if you can eliminate those other variables, which are huge and meaningful, but they’re not the whole story.” “America to Me” covers the 2015-2016 school year, with a focus on the student experience. James and his creative team interviewed about 40 kids in the school library to find the initial five they would follow, but they picked up quite a few more as the
year progressed. “We wanted to follow a diverse group of kids in every respect,” James says. “America to Me” doesn’t suggest any easy answers, and James’ approach is sympathetic to students, teachers and board members working to make a difference. Yet the series is an urgent, inspiring and often heartbreaking look at teenagers playing for the highest of stakes. “Whether you’re coming from a Chicago public school that’s in poverty or you’re coming from a suburban school like OPRF F that has all the resources, you think, ‘Why are the majority off black kids at a disadvantage?’ ” says Pat Washington, the mother of a student featured in the series. “That’s the big question.”
“Now we have the problem that they tell us ‘Logan’ is a great movie. Well, it’s a great superhero movie. It still involves people in tights with metal coming out of their hands.” ETHAN HAWKE, giving his take on superhero films to The Film Stage. “It’s not Bresson. It’s not Bergman,” the actor added. “But they talk about it like it is. … Big business wants you to think that this is a great film because they want to make money off of it.”

The Spice Girls reunite (sort of)
The Spice Girls will reunite for a tour without Victoria Beckham, according to U.K. newspaper The Sun. Mel B, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm reportedly will perform at 13 shows across the U.K. next year, culminating with three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium. The band hasn’t performed since the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. (EXPRESS)
Ariana Grande’s “Sweetener” tops Billboard 200
U.K. podcast “My Dad Wrote a Porno” set for U.S. TV adaptation
Asian immigrant parents drawn to ‘Crazy Rich’ FILM As “Crazy Rich Asians” surpassed expectations and grabbed the top spot at the box office the past two weekends, the film also pulled off another surprising feat: It brought Asians of a certain age to theater seats. Asians made up nearly 40 percent of the film’s audience during its opening weekend, Warner Bros said. The jump can be partly credited to enthusiastic Asian-Americans who wanted their parents to be part of what the film’s star, Constance Wu, has called a “movement.” Lie Shia Ong-Sintzel, 36, of Seattle talked her parents into coming along the second time she saw the movie. It was the first time in five years the couple — Chinese immigrants from Indonesia — had been to the cinema. Looking at her parents, she cried because everything from the acting to the food seemed to resonate more — and she wasn’t the only one. “I looked over again [and] my dad was wiping tears from his eyes,” Ong-Sintzel says. In Temple City, Calif., Catherine Fanchiang, who is TaiwaneseAmerican, went to see the film a third time to keep her parents company. The 27-year-old enjoyed watching her parents see an American film with Asians that wasn’t a period piece. “It’s not like we’re ninjas or we’re good at fighting,” Fanchiang says. “It’s Asians existing in the modern world.” TERRY TANG (AP)

You mustn’t be wasteful — and yet you mustn’t be too stingy, either. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may find yourself grappling with many memories today.

“I went through a period, about a month, where I was very depressed.”
Iggy Azalea was spotted on an apparent date with NBA star Jimmy Butler on Sunday at a restaurant in Malibu, Calif., according to TMZ. Azalea was previously engaged to NBA player Nick Young before the couple broke up in June 2016, with Azalea saying the split happened after she caught him cheating on her. The rapper revealed earlier this month that she was dating NFL star DeAndre Hopkins, then tweeted soon after that she was single. “I have come to the conclusion I am going to be alone forever,” she added at the time. “I am completely fine with that.” (EXPRESS)
