When a young deer strolled along a ramp to the Bay Bridge between San Francisco and Oakland, it gave the California Highway Patrol an opportunity for some groan-worthy one-liners. Officers said they stopped the doe “for toll evasion.” A photo on the CHP website shows the doe on the ramp with a deer-in-the-headlights look. In a Twitter post, an officer said the doe usually pays the toll but “today she was a buck short.” (AP)
Driving a car through the dark, congested Lincoln Tunnel in New York can be harrowing. But on a bicycle? A 26-year-old cyclist delivering food who wound up pedaling through the tunnel told Port Authority officials that he was merely following directions from a phone app. He was intercepted by police on the New Jersey side of the tunnel at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Since bicycles are banned in the tunnel, the cyclist was cited for trespass. (AP)

A life-saving wrong turn PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY It was a wrong turn on the way to work that took firefighter William Gressen past the beam of light piercing the dark woods along Crain Highway. At first, he thought it was illumination from a construction site, but something about it still didn’t feel quite right. He turned around, pulled over and hiked down to an embankment through brush and downed trees. About 125 feet down, he discovered the light source. A gold Hyundai Elantra had rolled down from the road, trapping a woman inside. Blood was running down her face. Her head was wedged between the headrest and the door. And a seat belt was wrapped around her neck. The Prince George’s County firefighter plunged his hand through a broken window and freed the choking woman, who officials say probably would have died had he not investigated the mystery light. On Wednesday, Briana Morrissette, 22, for the first time met the man who rescued her. In a tearful

reunion, she embraced Gressen and thanked him for saving her. Gressen said he was not sure what he would encounter when he headed down the ravine toward the light, but he was grateful his gut told him to stop. “I don’t know what made me go that way,” said Gressen, a 12year veteran of the department. He had just finished seeing his family in Calvert County on July 9 when he headed back to the fire services building in Landover, where he planned to

But for some reason, about 1 a.m., he accidentally took a right turn instead of a left not far from the office, sending him along Route 301. “I’m eternally grateful for what you’ve done,” Morrissette told Gressen at their reunion. “It was very courageous of you. Every day, I aspire to be that way myself.” Morrissette’s mother was also on hand to thank the man who saved her only child, whom she raised alone after her husband died about 20 years ago. “It’s every mother’s worst nightmare to think that a child will not make it home,” Aundrea Wheeler Morrissette said. “But when we heard the story of how Briana was rescued, I burst into tears.” Briana Morrissette, a domestic violence coordinator, suffered a broken clavicle and scratches in the crash, injuries from which she is still recovering. It is unclear what caused her to crash, but she is glad Gressen was there when seconds made the difference between life and death. “I wish I could remember,” Mor rissette sa id. “ Tha nk God he took a wrong turn.” LYNH BUI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Airport alert: Be on lookout for a lost doll An important alert went out on Reagan National Airport’s Twitter feed Wednesday. A stuffed badger — later clarified by officials to be a marmot — is missing. The treasured companion to a 6-year-old girl was being taken through the airport between American Airlines and one of the parking garages when the toy was lost. The marmot has been its little owner’s constant companion since she was a baby. The marmot is friendly, and airport officials ask that if you spot it, please return it to lost and found. (TWP)

‘We don’t pretend this is over’ CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. Earlier this month, white nationalist leader Richard Spencer rallied hundreds of torch-bearing followers for a march through the heart of the University of Virginia that began a weekend of rage and violence. He hopes to go back to Charlottesville soon. “Colleges and universities are a great venue,” Spencer said. “I will never give those up.” As the fall semester begins, schools across the U.S. are girding for fights over controversial speakers after an incendiary year that began with clashes at the University of California at Berkeley and worsened at U-Va. One by one in the days since the Charlottesville mayhem, major public universities have shut their doors to Spencer and his followers. Their decisions illuminate the challenge of balancing campus values, security concerns and free speech protections. The First Amendment “does not require a public institution to risk imminent violence to students and others,” University of

Florida President W. Kent Fuchs said Aug. 16, as the school denied a request from Spencer’s National Policy Institute that sought to rent a venue on campus for an event featuring Spencer. Echoing others who have taken similar action, Fuchs called white nationalist rhetoric “racist” and “repugnant.” But these university leaders also insist that free speech and open debate are fundamental to higher education. And they face possible backlash — and the risk of court

battles — when they deny people a platform to speak. At U-Va., officials have come under considerable criticism for their response to the Aug. 11 torchlight march and rally. One student who was part of a circle of counter-protesters surrounded by white nationalists that night questioned why students weren’t warned about the march in advance and why police didn’t take faster action to protect students. U-Va. President Teresa Sullivan has asked a group of deans and others to examine the university’s response. Some changes have already been implemented, including adding staff and police to bolster security, and requiring university police to be notified if people have been approved to carry open flames on campus. The general counsel’s office is considering changing policies about what activities can be banned, and is reviewing laws and policies regarding weapons on campus. A security firm will conduct a review of safety at U-Va. But the campus remains tense. “We don’t pretend this is over,” said Siva Vaidhyanathan, a professor at U-Va. “The Nazis will be back to terrorize us.” SUSAN SVRLUGA AND SARAH LARIMER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Turkish security officials indicted in D.C. fracas Nineteen people, including 15 Turkish security officials, were indicted Tuesday by a D.C. Superior Court grand jury for attacking protesters in D.C. in May during a visit by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The indictments charge the defendants with attacking peaceful demonstrators who had gathered outside the home of the Turkish ambassador, awaiting Erdogan’s arrival. Two defendants were arrested in June and face an initial court hearing Sept. 7. The rest remain at large. Several are members of Erdogan’s security detail who returned with him to Turkey.

THE DISTRICT Five days after a man fired a gun down an escalator at a bustling Northwest Washington Metro station in broad daylight, police continued to search for a suspect and little information had been made public on the circumstances of the shooting. Police first acknowledged the shooting Monday — three days after the incident — when they posted surveillance footage of a man firing a gun at the top of the escalator at the Columbia Heights station. Police asked for help identifying either of the two persons of interest in the incident, labeled an “assault with a dangerous weapon.” In the video, which drew comparisons to a movie scene, two

men chase another man onto the plaza in front of the station. As the victim rushes down the escalator, a man fires a handgun and smoke pours from the barrel. The shooter flees, and the man on the escalator disappears into the station. D.C. police said it did not appear anyone was struck. “The suspect did not enter Metro and fled on the street,” Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly said, adding that the victim also left the scene. Ly said Metro did not release information on the shooting because D.C. police, as the lead agency, determines which details to reveal — and when — to maintain the integrity of the investigation.

Months after seven members of a Baltimore Police Department gun trace task force were indicted on charges of robbing people, federal prosecutors said the former head of the unit has been charged.

Prosecutors say he stole more $90,000, sometimes from people who had not committed crimes. (AP)

Bus rider arrested in tossing of urine
MARKUS LÜPERTZ THE ARTIST’S FIRST MAJOR US RETROSPECTIVE THROUGH SEPTEMBER 3, 2017
TRANSPORTATION The woman who allegedly threw a cup of urine on a Metrobus driver who told her to “have a nice day” has been arrested, police said Wednesday. The woman, 38-year-old Opal L. Brown, of Southeast D.C., was arrested at L’Enfant Plaza station shortly after noon Wednesday. Police believe that she is the passenger who assaulted a driver Saturday on the X2 bus near the intersection of Benning Road and Minnesota Avenue. Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly said the passenger was getting off the bus when the operator told her, “Have a nice day.” “Are you talking to me?” the passenger responded, according to Metro. “Yes,” the bus operator said. And that, Metro says, is when the rider lashed out. Metro’s narrative — that the rider threw her cup of urine after the driver told her to “have a nice day” — was confirmed when Brown spoke with NBC4 and said she didn’t appreciate the tone of the driver. “She said ‘Have a nice day’ all sarcastically,” Brown told the station. “She could have been

more courteous.” The woman also confirmed Metro’s statement that she had relieved herself on the bus, using a cup: “I had to go to the bathroom real, real bad,” she said. In a surveillance video released by Metro, Brown is seen standing near the door at the front of the bus holding a purple tumbler, apparently waiting to disembark. Once the bus comes to a stop in the video, the woman turns around, flings the contents of the cup at the bus driver, throws the cup on the ground and dashes off the bus and down the block. The bus driver was not injured in the assault, although she went to a hospital for “decontamination,” Ly said. MARTINE POWERS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump: Tax overhaul will ‘bring back Main St.’
verbatim
“I see Sen. Cruz and it’s disgusting to me that he stands in a recovery center with victims standing behind him as a backdrop.”
In Missouri, president makes populist appeal for still-developing plan
N.J. GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE, JEFF ROBERSON (AP)
POLITICS President Trump launched his fall push to overhaul the nation’s tax system by pledging Wednesday that the details-to-come plan would “bring back Main Street” by reducing the crushing tax burden on middle-class Americans, making a populist appeal for a proposal expected to heavily benefit corporate America. Trump said his vision for rewriting the tax system, a key campaign pledge, would unlock stronger economic growth and benefit companies and workers alike. He promised it would be “pro-growth, pro-jobs, proworker and pro-American.” Trump dangled the prospect of the “biggest ever” tax cut and warned that without it, “jobs in our country cannot take off the way they should.” Trump has previously said he would like to see the top corporate tax rate drop from 35 percent to 15 percent. Trump, who rarely travels to promote his policy agenda, chose to debut his tax overhaul pitch before employees at a manufacturing plant in Springfield, Mo., a community known as the birthplace of Route 66, one of the nation’s original highways known as America’s Main Street. “This is where America’s Main Street will begin its big, beautiful

comeback,” the president said. After eight months without any major legislative victories and after a significant defeat on health care, Trump and Republican congressional leaders face mounting pressure to notch some achievements before next year’s midterm elections. The plan’s details are not finalized, and the push comes as Congress returns to face an intense September workload filled with must-do items, such as raising the debt limit, funding the government and providing assistance for the Harvey recovery effort. While the tax plan is aimed at appealing to Republicans, Trump sought to cast the effort in bipartisan terms. He called
on members of both parties to work with him on a “once-in-ageneration opportunity to deliver real tax reform for everyday hard-working Americans.” “I am fully committed to working with Congress to get this job done — and I don’t want to be disappointed by Congress, do you understand?” Trump said. In an interview with the Financial Times last week, top Trump economic adviser Gary Cohn said the White House and Republican leaders had agreed on a “good skeleton” for the plan, and said the tax-writing committee in the House would be drafting legislation while the White House tries to sell it. CATHERINE LUCEY AND

Ted Cruz, on CNN on Wednesday for urging federal funds to address Hurricane Harvey, which has slammed Texas, after he opposed funds to aid victims of 2012’s Superstorm Sandy, which hit New Jersey and other states.

Trump’s lawyer did send email, Kremlin says POLITICS The Kremlin on Wednesday confirmed that President Trump’s personal lawyer reached out to Vladimir Putin’s regime during the 2016 presidential campaign, seeking help for a business project in Russia. In a statement Monday to the House Intelligence Committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, said the president’s company pursued a project in Moscow during the Republican primary. Cohen said the plan was abandoned for various reasons. Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said Wednesday they received Cohen’s email, which was sent to the press office’s general email address. The address is available online. Peskov said it was one of many emails the Kremlin press office gets and that the Kremlin did not reply to it. The discussions about a real estate deal in Moscow occurred in the fall of 2015, months after Trump had declared his presidential bid. They ended early in 2016 when Cohen determined that the project was not feasible, according to Cohen’s statement. He also disclosed that Trump was personally aware of the deal, signing a letter of intent and discussing it with Cohen on two other occasions. (AP)

A MESSAGE FROM METRO GM/CEO
In addition, the Metro Transit Police Department partners with schools to educate students about the personal responsibility that comes with riding public transportation, and to encourage safe and positive conduct on Metrorail and Metrobus. For students riding Metro, here are a few tips to make your trip a success: •
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.

To develop and maintain strong relationships with students who use our system, Metro established the Youth Advisory Council. The Council meets monthly during the school year and aims to encourage better dialogue with DC, Maryland and Virginia youth riders. This also allows youth ages 14-19 the opportunity to weigh in on issues that matter to them, their peers and the community as a whole.

Our Back2School outreach also provides students with important Metro information, particularly related to the use of DC One Cards. With the school year underway, it is critical that students, like all riders, tap their card to the faregate or farebox every time they enter our rail stations and buses.

In addition to our year-round programs, Metro conducts Back2School outreach to help students prepare for the new school year. This outreach included more than 15 events in August, reaching youth and college students throughout the region. For example, we partnered with Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation for its Back2School Giveaway, where hundreds of backpacks and school supplies were handed out.
Free shuttle buses will replace trains this weekend on the Red Line between Twinbrook and Friendship Heights stations.

Floodwaters recede, toll rises
HARVEY Harvey’s floodwaters started dropping across much of the Houston area and the sun came out Wednesday in a glimmer of hope for the stricken city, even as the storm doubled back toward land and pounded communities farther east, near the TexasLouisiana line. The scope of the devastation caused by the hurricane came into sharper focus, meanwhile, and the murky green floodwaters from the record-breaking, 4-foot deluge of rain began yielding up bodies as predicted. The confirmed death toll climbed to 23, including six family members — four of them

children — whose bodies were pulled Wednesday from a van that had been swept off a Houston bridge into a bayou. Authorities were investigating at least 17 more deaths to determine whether they were storm-related. “Unfortunately, it seems that
our worst thoughts are being realized,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said after the van that disappeared over the weekend was found in 10 feet of muddy water. While conditions in the nation’s fourth-largest city appeared to improve, authorities warned that
the crisis in Houston and across the region is far from over. The storm, in fact, took a turn for the worse east of the city, close to the Louisiana line. Beaumont and Port Arthur, Texas, struggled with rising floodwaters and worked to evacuate residents after Harvey completed a U-turn in the Gulf of Mexico and rolled ashore early Wednesday for the second time in six days. Forecasters predicted that a wobbling and weakening Harvey would be downgraded to a tropical depression late Wednesday or early Thursday. For much of the Houston area, forecasters said, the rain is pretty much over. “We have good news,” said Jeff Lindner, a meteorologist with the Harris County Flood Control District. “The water levels are going down.” NOMAAN MERCHANT AND

Relief supplies still far away Impassable roads stymie agencies ready to help storm victims
32K
911 operators bear the weight of Harvey’s toll
SCOTT OLSON (GETTY IMAGES)
HARVEY Mobile kitchen units, truckloads of tools and thousands of supplies are ready to help people affected by Hurricane Harvey, but there is one problem: They are hundreds of miles away from Houston. The extent of the disaster caused by Harvey and its remnants, which lashed hundreds of miles of coastline and flooded more than one-quarter of Harris County, Texas — home to 4.5 million people — has made it impossible for relief agencies to help in some of the hardest-hit areas. Trucks now sit hundreds of miles away, waiting for roads to become passable and search and rescue teams to finish their jobs. “The scope and size of the storm is unlike anything the army has ever experienced,” said Lt. Col. Ronnie Raymer of the Salvation Army. Trying to navigate flooded roads and an ever-changing situation as levees breach, rivers overflow and tides change makes it too difficult and dangerous to even attempt getting supplies in. The biggest issue is that the storm just won’t let up: Tuesday and Wednesday, the Beaumont-Port Arthur area heavily flooded and rains drenched western Louisiana. “We’ve got units set up as close as we can,” said Mike Ebert, a spokesman for the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
The scope of the damage has stunned rescue workers, seen here at an apartment complex Wednesday in Houston.
Many of them are in Mississippi. The mission board has deployed kitchens traveling to smaller towns, including Rockport along the Texas coast, to feed first responders. The units also contain showers and laundry facilities. Some relief organizations cannot get supplies into Houston, where highways are flooded, and authorities are still searching for and rescuing people from their homes. Organizations that do not help with basic shelter needs will wait until the situation changes from a search and rescue to a recovery operation to help people with flooded homes. “What we don’t want to do right now is get our volunteers in there and have them get stranded and need to get rescued and create
National Guard deploys Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that officials were “immediately deploying far more” members of the National Guard to southeast Texas in response to “emergency conditions” there. He said the total National Guard deployment across Texas would reach 24,000 troops, with about 10,000 of them deployed there from other states. (TWP)
more problems for first responders,” Ebert said. The magnitude of Harvey has shocked even the most seasoned disaster organizations. Because the storm devastated so many places in different ways, from
winds to flooding, the response will be different in each area. “We also quickly realized this is going to stretch us more than Katrina did and that we’re going to have to begin thinking outside the box in how we move forward, especially in long-term recovery,” Raymer said. Raymer said the charity is thinking about opening centers in different neighborhoods because Houston’s sprawl was difficult to navigate even before the storm. The group has opened shelters in the city and a command center in northwest Houston. Now, Raymer and others are waiting to fully deploy in other areas inundated with floodwaters. “It’s got to stop raining first,” he said. KATIE ZEZIMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)
SHELTERS OVERWHELMED
The approximate number of people who have taken refuge in 231 shelters, state officials said Wednesday. FEMA Administrator William “Brock” Long acknowledged that the shelters “are obviously not ideal” but that people will have to be there for a while. So far, he said, 1,800 people have been placed in hotels and motels under FEMA’s Transitional Shelter Assistance program, in which the government seeks to alleviate crowding in emergency shelters by directly paying hotels and motels to put up disaster survivors. (TWP) Trump says “all of America” is grieving with Harvey victims at top of tax speech in Mo.
HOUSTON Some of the callers are panicking; others exude a strange serenity. One moment, Harvey’s floodwaters are pouring into a home, the next a motorist is trapped on an inundated interstate. The weight of Houston’s problems is landing at the 911 call center, where operators are racing to keep up. “This is like nothing we’ve ever experienced before,” operator Erika Wells says. At its worst, from Sunday into Monday, about 75,000 calls poured in, more than eight times the normal 24-hour load, and those dialing sometimes endured long waits to reach an operator. Even as time passed, more than 21,000 people called between Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon. Wells reported for work on Saturday at 2 p.m. and worked a 20-hour stretch through Harvey’s immediate aftermath. Like her colleagues, she has camped out at the center since. After so many hours, it all has become a blur: the man who calmly reported water had reached his knees and drowned his dog; the woman whose baby chose the worst time to enter the world. LaKendric Westbrook, a call center supervisor, says some operators have been overwhelmed by the pain they’ve heard through their headsets. “You just want to go through the phone and help,” Westbrook said.

MIDDLE EAST The U.S.-led coalition said Wednesday it carried out airstrikes to disrupt a convoy of Islamic State militants being evacuated from the LebanonSyria border to an ISIS-held area in eastern Syria near Iraq, without targeting the evacuees themselves. Coalition aircraft struck a small bridge and cratered a road to hinder the convoy’s progress. The coalition also struck a separate group of ISIS militants traveling to meet the convoy, said Col. Ryan Dillon, a coalition
spokesman. U.S. officials have criticized the transfer of hundreds of militants and civilians who are bound for an ISIS-held area near the Iraqi border, saying the extremists should be killed on the battlefield. The evacuation came as part of a controversial deal brokered by the Lebanese Hezbollah group to clear ISIS from an area along the Lebanon-Syria border. The coalition is reluctant to strike the actual convoy of evacuees because the fighters have wives and children traveling with them, said a U.S. official, who wasn’t authorized to discuss military details and requested anonymity. Although Hezbollah members are believed to be the ones escorting the convoy, the
Lebanese President Michel Aoun praised his army’s efforts in forcing ISIS to evacuate from his country.
Syrian government’s involvement creates further risk for the U.S. if the coalition were to hit it. The coalition nevertheless said
in a statement it is not bound by the evacuation agreement. There are about 300 militants and almost as many family members on buses being evacuated under the deal. “We are monitoring their location in real time,” Dillon said, adding that the coalition “will not rule out strikes against ISIS fighters being moved.” Syrian opposition activists said the convoy, which left the Lebanon-Syria border on Tuesday, is still in government-held territory in eastern Syria. The evacuation agreement, the first such publicized deal, had already angered many Iraqis, who accused Syria and Lebanon’s Hezbollah of dumping the militants on the Iraqi border rather than eradicating them.

U.S. successfully shoots down medium-range ballistic missile in a test off Hawaii coast
HEALTH The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the first treatment that genetically engineers a patient’s own blood cells into an army of assassins to seek and destroy childhood leukemia. The CAR-T cell treatment developed by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and the University of Pennsylvania is the first type of gene therapy to hit the U.S. market — and one in a powerful but expensive wave of custom-made “living drugs” being tested against blood cancers and some other tumors. “This is a brand new way of treating cancer,” said Dr. Stephan Grupp of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He was the first to treat a child with CAR-T cell therapy. The girl was near death but has been cancer-free for five years. Novartis said it would charge $475,000 for the treatment, made anew for every patient. But it said there would be no charge if the patient didn’t show a response within a month. CAR-T treatment uses gene therapy techniques not to fix disease-causing genes but to turbocharge T cells, the immune system soldiers that cancer too often can evade. This first use of CAR-T therapy is for those desperately ill with a common pediatric cancer — acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL — that annually strikes more than 3,000 children and young adults in the U.S. LAURAN NEERGAARD (AP)

Stephen Strasburg hit his third career home run to help the Nationals sweep the Marlins.
THREE POINTERS
Powerful reminder
Strasburg shows how special he can be with homer and shutout against Marlins
NATIONALS 4, MARLINS 0 Perception always seems to overtake reality when it comes to Stephen Strasburg. A history of injuries and a Nationals roster full of stars combine to mask his ability, to poke holes in his résumé, and otherwise diminish what is, and always has been, a once-in-a-generation talent. But in Wednesday’s 4-0 win over the Marlins, Strasburg provided a performance that served as a reminder of exactly what the Nationals have in their enigmatic right-hander, of what
they missed when he was injured last October, and of his evolution. Strasburg threw a shutout — the second complete game of his career and first in four years. He allowed six hits and struck out eight while intentionally walking one. He also put Washington on the board with a fifth-inning homer and added a single. The Marlins came to D.C. with a chance to cut the Nationals’ division lead to single digits. Instead, in a three-game sweep, the Nationals outscored them 23-5 and sent them home 15 games

Meaningful exhibition
back. The Nationals’ magic number to clinch the division title is now at 16, and these teams meet again Monday in Miami. That number could shrink fast. On Wednesday, it shrunk because Strasburg played one of the best all-around games of his professional career. Against a deep and powerful Marlins lineup, Strasburg relied heavily on his change-up to slice through the order with ideal efficiency. Through four innings, he threw just 42 pitches. Most pitchers target 15 per inning. J.T. Realmuto’s second-inning double was the only hard contact the Marlins made in those first four innings. Strasburg ran into trouble in the fifth when Realmuto grounded a ball up the third base line, just out of reach of Anthony Rendon’s dive, for a leadoff triple. Needing strikeouts, Strasburg turned to his fastball to get two of them. Derek Dietrich swung through a 96 mph fastball. So did A.J. Ellis, leaving Strasburg to get
fellow starter Adam Conley to hit a weak fly ball to end the inning. Despite having to pitch deeper into counts to extricate himself from trouble, Strasburg finished the fifth inning with 55 pitches. Conley held the Nationals down until the fifth inning, when Strasburg, who won a Silver Slugger in 2012, led off with his second homer of the year and third of his career. Two batters later, Wilmer Difo homered, too. The Nationals added two more runs when Rendon’s double scored Trea Turner in the seventh and Alejandro De Aza scored on a passed ball in the eighth. Strasburg, who threw 110 pitches, was not much of a pitch conservationist early in his career. Even last season, Baker took him out of a no-hitter because he had thrown too many pitches. Now he pitches exclusively from the stretch to save energy and minimize injury risk. And as he showed Wednesday, Strasburg is mastering the art of quick outs.

Spirits high for United with newcomers in tow MLS Luciano Acosta flicked the ball through Kofi Opare’s long legs and scored on the miniature goal. As teammates mocked Opare for falling victim to a “nutmeg,” Acosta jogged to the corner with his arms extended. The scene at practice Tuesday was similar to how the Argentinian celebrated his game-winner in the 71st minute of D.C. United’s 1-0 win over New England on Saturday. Except in that game, Opare recorded his first career assist on Acosta’s goal. After three wins in eight days, United was in understandably high spirits when the squad returned to training in Washington. Later in the session, coach Ben Olsen joined a drill and used his hands to blatantly bat a cross away from the front of his team’s goal. Players showed imaginary red cards as the former midfielder laughed off the accusations. “Today was a good day. It was a fun day to get out here in the rain, especially after a good week last week,” defender Jalen Robinson said Tuesday. “It’s nice to have everyone around, you know, cheerful faces. Everyone is pretty confident right now. We’re feeling good.” Saturday marked the first

time that new midfield acquisitions Zoltan Stieber, Russell Canouse and Paul Arriola shared the field at the same time for United, and the back and front ends of the lineup benefited. Bill Hamid posted his third straight shutout while striker Patrick Mullins produced a season-high five shots. “I like to play with the players around me to combine and link people into the play. I think we’ve got midfielders like [Acosta], Paul, Zoltan, Russ, that want to do that as well,” Mullins said. “Playing like that requires a lot of energy, and I think maybe early on in the year we didn’t get the possession we wanted to have energy to attack. But lately, I think we’ve done well with
circulating the ball forward.” D.C. (8-15-4) is eight points back of a playoff spot with seven games to play. Atlanta currently is in the final Eastern Conference playoff position and has played three fewer games than United. Still there’s a clear sense of hope and progress, which hasn’t always been the case at RFK Stadium this season. “Two weeks ago it was definitely a different mood around here. Winning does that,” Mullins said. “We want to make a real good push here for the playoffs now.” United is off this weekend as the U.S. men take on Costa Rica in a World Cup Qualifier. D.C. returns to action Sept. 9 at home against Orlando City.

up front D.C. gets on the grapevine The city’s first winery offers views and vino on the waterfront DRINKS Before you ask: No, winemakers at District Winery don’t use their feet to crush grapes. “It’s a question I get all the time,” head winemaker Conor McCormack says. Instead, the winery, which opened in Navy Yard this week,
uses a complex system of crushers, extractors and towering fermentation tanks to produce up to 72,000 bottles of wine per harvest. If that sounds like a lot, that’s because it is. The 17,000-squarefoot building (385 Water St. SE) is a full-blown wine factory, albeit one with sleek interior design, a menu of creative American dishes and a terrace with views of the city that would make the Statue of Freedom atop the U.S.

only during private events. The winery will pour 20 different types of wine produced in recent years at the Brooklyn facility. In addition to wine, the restaurant has a handful of cocktails, many of which are mixed with byproducts of the winemaking process, like raw grape juice. In the meantime, District Winery is working on creating its own wines. The first D.C.-produced release will be a dry rosé, probably ready to pour in March and made with grapes brought in from New York, California, Washington state and Virginia. “There’s a reason we didn’t call this Brooklyn Winery,” Leventhal says. “It was important for us that D.C. residents had a place they could call their own.” HOLLEY SIMMONS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

In the seven years since the first DC State Fair, the District has marched no closer to statehood, but hey, a city can dream, right? Like most state fairs, D.C.’s exists to show off our artistic and agricultural prowess, with vendors and booths throughout Waterfront Station. There’s also a pet parade (companions on leashes, in cages, in tanks or in aquariums are welcome to join), music, demos, workshops and contests — many of which you can join day-of. If nothing else, the fair is worth attending so you can pretend — for one day — that D.C. is just like its neighbors to the north and south.
owls among us, all these daytime festivals can really cut into sleeping time. Enter Art All Night, which is exactly what it sounds like. For one night, bars, shops, art studios, outdoor spaces and libraries across D.C. will be open and putting on music and dance performances, fashion shows and interactive art exhibits. Red Bull not included. Various locations; Sept. 23, 7 p.m.-3 a.m., free; more information at artallnightdc.com.
But Yonghoon Lee can, and you can see him in the Washington National Opera’s production of “Aida,” this year’s selection for Opera in the Outfield. The show will be broadcast live to Nationals Park and, unlike that stuffy Kennedy Center, will be preceded with activities, including a showing of the Bugs Bunny cartoon “What’s Opera, Doc?,” more commonly known as the “kill the wabbit” one.

Known for dropping a new album every few months, D.C. rapper Ardamus (real name: Artemis Thompson) has been uncharacteristically quiet of late. His fans haven’t heard a new track since his critically acclaimed 2016 EP “Thx4UrHONESTY. [liar].” That will change Oct. 1, on Ardamus’ 38th birthday, when the socially conscious rapper takes a retro, romantic turn for his new single, “Her Lips, Her Kiss.“ His new album, “A Broken Hearted 90s Season,” which follows on Nov. 2, was inspired by old-school artists including De La Soul and Snoop Dogg. The Nashville-born Ardamus, who’s lived in D.C. since 1997, mapped out his perfect day on the town. I might start my day by going to Tony’s Breakfast [on H Street NE]. It’s kind of out of the way, but it’s near where I used to live. It’s a small place, but they have a lot of good food there, like chicken and waffles. It’s very homestyle, very down-to-earth. I like to just get out of my house and go place to place and people-watch. Sometimes I go to Malcolm X Park. Something
about being able to zone out without any obligations for a time is important to my writing. That’s when I’m able to put words and ideas together. Tryst and The Diner are good places to go and write and peoplewatch, too. One thing I’ve done a few times is take the Green Line train all the way down to Branch Avenue, and then turn around and come back to Fort
Totten. I just sit on the train and think and write. I’ll also take the train to the Pentagon and then a bus all the way to Shirlington. I’ll go to an Irish bar there, Samuel Beckett’s, and get a Moscow mule and just chill out. DC9 is my home away from home at this point. I do a lot of writing there, at the bar. The food, the people, the prices of the drinks — they keep it cool. I like to check out the shows there too, and the ones at Velvet Lounge. Rock and Roll Hotel is good for seeing bigger acts.
If I were going somewhere late at night, I’d have to say the Eighteenth Street Lounge. It’s kind of fancy, though, so you have to dress up. My man Flex [Mathews], he does Wednesday nights with a band there. You’ve got some people dancing like crazy, and you’ve got people chilling and vibing to the music. That’s always dope.

DAYNA SMITH (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
TRENDS ChiKo looks like a fast-casual restaurant. At the ChineseKorean eatery on Barracks Row, you order at the counter, grab a number and pay for your meal. It’s your total that’s the surprising part. A recent meal for two cost a steep $68 without alcohol — a far cry from what you’d encounter at the likes of Nando’s Peri Peri, &pizza or Sweetgreen, where the average meal for two usually costs less than half that amount. An increasing number of restaurants like ChiKo are opening in Washington. These fancycasual eateries lean closer to Chipotle than to a sit-down restaurant. But they pay extra attention to interior design, serve upscale ingredients, occasionally offer a full bar and always charge a couple bucks more. At ChiKo, that culinary quality is evident in the smoked blue catfish, house-made acorn noodles and an $18 chopped brisket dish with a soy-brined soft egg and furikake butter. There are no customizable salad bowls. “We just wanted to do good food in a casual environment,” says chef Scott Drewno, who founded ChiKo with Danny Lee and Andrew Kim.
There’s also Red Apron Burger Bar: The restaurant’s Double Vision burger, topped with housecured bacon, can be made with ancient white park beef for $14.35, and you can wash it down with an $8 bourbon punch. At the new Chicken + Whiskey on 14th Street, a recent lunch of South American-style roast chicken cost almost $40 for two. Open the door in the back to reveal a full-service bar where bartenders carve ice by hand. The origin of these fancycasual restaurants can be traced back to the recession, says Sam Oches, editor of Food News Media, a restaurant trends media company. Lacking disposable income to spend on restaurants, customers started turning to fast-casual spots. “People didn’t want to go to the Olive Garden and drop $60 when they could go to a fast-casual restaurant and have a tasty meal,” Oches says. Thanks to the stabilized economy, people are now willing to spend more on food — except they’ve gotten used to the fastcasual experience. Going fast-casual makes sense for those running the business, too. These spots can require less cash upfront: Operating a restaurant that serves the bulk of its food to go means spending less on glassware, plates, tablecloths and labor than might be the case at a sit-down establishment. “Chefs who, historically

speaking, have had awful hours and intense work pressures and aren’t paid what they’re worth are recognizing that they can have better hours, make just as much money and have the culinary creativity they might not find in a fine dining restaurant,” Oches says — which might explain why a big name like Jose Andres opened his fast-casual Beefsteak chain.
Victor Albisu, chef and owner of the upscale Del Campo downtown as well as Taco Bamba, a fast-casual taqueria in Falls Church, says it’s slightly more complex than that. “My hours, quite frankly, continue to suck,” he says. “I’m doing it because it’s what I love, and I enjoy the two drastic extremes of cooking.”

Read their lips! The National Book Festival: the one day a year when a serious reader’s biggest problem isn’t that overflowing stack of books to get to. During the 10-hour event, more than 100 authors, illustrators and poets will give talks and sign their books. It’s a lot to take in, so we won’t judge if you’ve been busy finessing an Excel-sheet game plan (Elizabeth Strout or Don Winslow at 10 a.m.?). To help with your prep work, we chatted with seven of this year’s featured authors — including David Baldacci and the “Outlander” series’ Diana Gabaldon — about their talks and the books they’ve loved in 2017. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place NW; Sat., 9:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m., free.
Diana Gabaldon The author of the “Outlander” series jokes that she could come up with several “decent-sounding ideas” for her talk, like “How to Write Books and Stay Both Married and Sane” or “How to Go From Being a Scientist to Being a Novelist, and Why Anybody Would Want To.” “The thing is, no matter what I start out talking about, it’s not going to end up that way,” she says. “Stuff changes when you engage with it. This is why I don’t plan books out ahead of time — total exercise in futility.”
Marie Lu Lu, the best-selling author behind the YA fantasy trilogy “The Young Elites” and the YA “Legend” series, will be promoting the YA/sci-fi book “Warcross,” which goes on sale Sept. 12. “I’m excited to be part of what’s become such a wonderful literary tradition,” she says of the festival, “and share my journey and love for books during a time when reading is more important than ever.”
Favorite 2017 book: Gabaldon calls it a tie between Christopher Brookmyre’s “The Last Hack” and Adrian McKinty’s “Police at the Station and They Don’t Look Friendly.”
Favorite 2017 book: Julie C. Dao’s fantasy debut, “Forest of a Thousand Lanterns,” about a teen who must embrace her inner darkness to become the Empress of Feng Lu. “Dao has a tremendous talent for creating intricate worlds and complex characters,” Lu says.
See her: 11:25 a.m.-12:25 p.m. (signing: 1-2 p.m.)
See her: 11:40 a.m.-12:20 p.m. (signing: 1-2 p.m.)

weekendpass Matthew Desmond Desmond, a professor of sociology at Princeton, won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction for “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City.” “Evicted” follows eight families residing in some of the poorest neighborhoods in Milwaukee, including Arleen Bell and her two sons. “I’ll be sharing Arleen’s story about what it’s like to try to raise two boys when 88 percent of your income is going to rent,” Desmond says. “I’ll conclude by arguing that without stable shelter, everything else falls apart, and offer some solutions about what we can do to address this crisis.” Favorite 2017 book: Desmond says George Saunders’ “Lincoln in the Bardo,” Roxane Gay’s “Hunger” and Mohsin Hamid’s “Exit West” all “shook me for different reasons.” See him: noon-12:45 p.m. (signing: 1-2 p.m.)
Nicola Yoon “I’m gonna talk about love, which is, like, my reason for existing,” Yoon says with a laugh. “Love and finding it and cute boys and that sort of thing.” A film adaptation of Yoon’s debut YA book, “Everything, Everything,” was released in May, and on a recent August day, she had just purchased a DVD of the movie. “My [5-year-old] girl wants to watch it again, but it’s kind of a grown-up movie — there’s a lot of kissing in it,” Yoon says, adding that there was a bigger lesson for her daughter than just the smooching. “[She] got to see that you can write something and it can become a book, and then it can become a movie — she got to see that you can make things.” Favorite 2017 book: “We Are Okay” by Nina LaCour. “It’s lyrical, and it sneaks up on you,” Yoon says. “I read it on a plane and I cried in front of strangers. I’m a very private person, but I couldn’t help it.” See her: 12:30-1:25 p.m. (signing: 2-3 p.m.)

Megan Abbott Abbott is the author of eight crime novels, including last year’s psychological thriller “You Will Know Me,” which delves into the world of teenage gymnastics. The festival first-timer will take part in a conversation with NPR’s Elizabeth Blair. “I’m guessing we’ll talk about books exploring the dark corners of female experience and the mysteries of family and maybe about the recent explosion in women-centered crime fiction,” Abbott says. Favorite 2017 book: Edmund Gordon’s “The Invention of Angela Carter,” which Abbott describes as “a sumptuous and propulsive biography of a great, risk-taking, genre-defying writer whose work deserves a place on every bookshelf.” See her: 2:35-3:20 p.m. (signing: 4-5 p.m.)
David Baldacci Baldacci, who lives in Fairfax County, practiced law in D.C. for nearly 10 years before making writing a full-time gig. “I’ll share tales from the road and take questions,” says the best-selling author of more than 30 novels, mostly thrillers. His latest, “The Fix,” was released in April; his first novel, “Absolute Power,” was turned into a Clint Eastwood film. The literacy advocate (he co-founded the nonprofit Wish You Well Foundation) says the festival is “a great opportunity not only to meet readers but to catch up with writers you know and meet writers you don’t.” Favorite 2017 book: Baldacci named a 2016 bestseller, “A Gentleman in Moscow,” by Amor Towles.

Gene Luen Yang Graphic novelist Yang — the national ambassador for young people’s literature — is a former computer science teacher whose “Secret Coders: Robots & Repeats,” the fourth in a series of graphic novels geared toward kids, is out Oct. 3. “I’m going to be talking about the connections between coding and writing, and how these two subjects that seem very different from each other actually aren’t all that different,” Yang says. “In both disciplines, you take complex, vague ideas and break them into small, concrete pieces. In the case of writing, it’s sentences, and in coding, it’s lines of command. And each of these pieces have to follow a specific sequence or the whole thing isn’t going to work.” Favorite 2017 book: “The Best We Could Do,” a graphic novel by Thi Bui that explores a family’s journey after fleeing to the U.S. from war-torn South Vietnam in the 1970s. See him: 5:30-6 p.m. (signing: 4-5 p.m.)

You better shape up: Sandy and Danny are looking at you ‘cause it’s your turn to sing.
‘Grease Sing-A-Long’ Do people get mad at you for singing along with musicals? They should, because it’s really irritating most of the time. But “Grease Sing-A-Long” is not most of the time. Break out the poodle skirt, the black leather jacket and the realization that “Greased Lightning” is MUCH dirtier than you thought as a kid. Seriously, have you looked at the lyrics? How did your parents let you watch that? Anyway, you can shimmy, shine and out-sing Olivia NewtonJohn at this weekend’s screening of the 2010 singalong version of the 1978 film set in the 1950s. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Sat., 7:30 p.m., $13.
‘The Sound of Music’ You’re not supposed to sing along at the Angelika’s showing of “The Sound of Music,” but once you get back in your car feel free to reach for that note Julie Andrews hits at the end of “Do-Re-Me.” (First, make sure there are no dogs in the immediate vicinity.) The classic story of an Austrian naval captain who elects to marry the help reaches its pinnacle when Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) rips a Nazi flag in half and creates one of the hottest GIFs in existence. Angelika Film Center, 2911 District Ave., Fairfax; Sat., 10 a.m., $8.
‘Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan’ If you’re less into singing and more into spinning, “Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan” is probably up your alley. The documentary follows the veteran ballerina (she’s 46 in the film, which in ballet years is 423) as she prepares to leave the New York City Ballet. Facing a surgery, retirement and a future with few career choices that list “be very bendy” as a requirement, she collaborates with up-and-coming choreographers on her first independent project.

weekendpass Exclusive clue! The DC Public Library Foundation passed along a clue for Express readers — just remember, the hunt doesn’t start until Tuesday.
Keep your eyes (and mind) open BOOKS In Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel “Fahrenheit 451,” “firemen” in a not-too-distant future burn the world’s most dangerous weapon: books. The DC Public Library Foundation is doing its part to keep that day from coming, hiding copies of six incendiary novels around the city for residents to find. The scavenger hunt is part of the foundation’s celebration of the nationally observed Banned Books Week, which this year is Sept. 24-30. With the theme of “Texts Against Tyranny,” the foundation’s contest features books that not only are about repressive societies, but are themselves often challenged or
banned in American schools and libraries. From Tuesday through Sept. 30, 600 copies of six novels — “Fahrenheit 451,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Parable of the Sower,” “The Giver,” “We” and “Who Fears Death” — will be scattered in 50 locations across the city, including libraries, coffee shops and other local businesses. The foundation has wrapped the books in special covers featuring quotes from the novels. If you find copies of all six novels, you can line up their spines to produce a special image. The covers represent the way banned books are sometimes circulated in oppressive countries and cultures — they’re often wrapped in fake covers to conceal what’s inside. The foundation added its covers “to remind people who live here in

Washington that, even though it’s not happening here now, it is happening elsewhere,” says Linnea Hegarty, the foundation’s executive director. “People are banning books because of the ideas that are contained in them.” While Banned Books Week has always been the centerpiece of a library’s year, Hegarty says it feels timelier in 2017 than before. “Banned Books Week is something that libraries across the country have celebrated for years and, frankly, in this climate, I think there’s more attention being paid to that,” Hegarty says. “There may even be a deeper understanding of how it can be relative to the culture that we live in today.”

The colorful world of Munch A new display examines the meanings behind the artist’s bold choices
EXHIBITS In the 1890s, Norwegian artist Edvard Munch ran afoul of his painting teacher, Leon Bonnat. “Use your eyes, young man,” Bonnat shouted when he saw that Munch had depicted a pinkish brick wall in lurid green hues. Munch gathered his things and stormed out, and that was the last art class he’d ever take. Today, Munch is known for his bold, impressionistic use of color — as in his famous painting “The Scream,” which presents an anguished figure beneath a blood-red and orange sky. If you’re interested in seeing 21 less famous examples of Munch’s emotion-driven color choices, drop by the National Gallery of Art exhibit “Edvard Munch: Color in Context,” which opens Sunday. “By pushing for color that corresponds more to feeling or imagination than to external reality, he was questioning conventions that had reigned for centuries,” exhibit curator Jonathan Bober says. Munch’s choices also reflected a Victorian belief that feelings manifest themselves in blobs of color that some people could actually see — green for sympathy and light brown for selfishness, for example. The intellectuals espousing this scheme were known as theosophists, and they were nearly as mainstream as scientists and philosophers at the time. “Munch claimed to be able to see these auras of color around people,” Bober says. We asked Bober to share how Munch’s contemporaries might have interpreted a few of the artist’s most famous prints. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)
National Gallery of Art, West Building, Sixth Street and Constitution Avenue NW; Sun. through Jan. 28, free.
‘Madonna’
(1895, lithograph)
For the Victorians, blue represented religious fervor, so it’s an apt color for the waves around this Madonna’s head, Bober says. Overall, however, the colors in this piece are merely heightened versions of naturalistic colors, perhaps to counterbalance the intense imagery, including the sperm swimming along the edges and the fetus in the lower left-hand corner.
‘Old Man Praying’ (1902, woodcut) The Victorians used yellow to indicate high intelligence, Bober says, so its use in this print suggests that the old man depicted has gained wisdom even though his body has declined. The fact that he is looking out a window suggests he’s reflecting back on his life, Bober adds.
‘Man’s Head in Woman’s Hair’ (1896, woodcut)
“The woman is brown and orange, which in the theosophists’ scheme is usually selfishness and sensuality [respectively], while the man is light green, implying sympathy,” Bober says. If these two are lovers, the woman’s interest in the man is shallow, while the man is more truly in love, he notes. The man is being swallowed up by her hair, too, which suggests the woman has the upper hand, he adds.
‘Girl’s Head Against the Shore’ (1899, woodcut) This landscape shows a woman in the foreground, with a shoreline in the distance — the woman blends into the land behind her, however. “There’s a suggestion of isolation of the figure from other people, but she’s also inseparable from the environment,” Bober says. The bright orange of the distant landscape suggests sensuality, and the brownish hue of the woman’s skin could indicate selfishness, he adds.

Sing along to every word of “No Scrubs” and “Waterfalls” with TLC, above, who stormed back this year with new music following a long hiatus. The trailblazing R&B girl group’s T-Boz and Chilli headline this ’90s-nostalgia tour, which is basically a time-traveling dance party. Kid ’n Play, C+C Music Factory, Montell Jordan, Rob Base and Snap! round out the retro lineup.
Swiss writer Max Frisch’s absurdist play “The Arsonists” is a comedy, but it’s a dark one. Originally staged in 1953, the satire grapples with the rise of Nazism and communism. Now Woolly Mammoth brings the play’s dissection of morality into the context of the political turmoil of 2017. Howard Shalwitz, Woolly Mammoth’s artistic director for nearly four decades, will return to the stage for the show. Woolly Mammoth Theatre, 641 D St. NW; Tue. through Oct. 8, $20-$69 (Tue. & Wed. are pay-what-youcan performances).

HBO slated to air short film from Dunham
SHOWTIME
Yes, bidding adieu to “Twin Peaks” will be hard for everyone.
Summer’s best TV show was all about the pace ‘Twin Peaks’ took it nice and slow, the way ‘Thrones’ should have TELEVISION A curious thing happened on the way to television greatness this summer: The highly anticipated return of a critically revered show that some viewers might’ve avoided because of its reputation as a mess of complicated storylines instead turned out to be a stunning rumination on heroic good and innate evil, told through a refreshingly coherent, expertly paced plot that kept both loyal fans and curious newcomers guessing the entire way. At the same time, another show, also feverishly awaited and already occupying its rightful spot on the list of TV’s most provocative and original series, sacrificed nearly all of its slowly divulged, carefully constructed mythology in the name of predictable plot and implausible incident. So, which show is “Game of
Thrones” and which show is “Twin Peaks: The Return”? In terms of pure satisfaction and elevation of the form, it’s no contest: Showtime’s “Twin Peaks,” David Lynch and Mark Frost’s 18-part sequel to their long-shelved ABC series, has been a quiet yet profound triumph, splendidly fulfilling a promise made 27 years ago. A two-episode conclusion will air this coming Sunday, with Lynch’s daffiest ducks lined up in neat precision and ready for their swan song. “Game of Thrones,” meanwhile: Yeesh, right? After Sunday’s Season 7 finale on HBO, there’s little need to list the gripes of its 16 million viewers, except to boil down the biggest criticism, which has to do with pace. Although the show aptly avails itself of the richness and backstories that exist in the “Game of Thrones” blueprint, it has unfortunately given in to the temptation to be just another hit TV show — specifically, a soap opera (albeit a terrific one). It

was a season overburdened with holy-crap moments, rather than honoring the whole work. “Twin Peaks,” on the other hand, patiently inserted its epic strangeness into our minds, doing what “Game of Thrones” used to do: It took us somewhere entirely new, on its own creative terms and using its own visual language. Like “Game of Thrones,” it rewarded expertise while rewarding a more casual viewer with a thrill ride. The art of the slow build was very much in force on “Twin Peaks,” making viewers wait nearly forever for one of its most satisfying and stirring scenes in the most recent episode. And so it happens that while America spent its summer watching TV’s biggest show, it unfortunately missed TV’s best show. While “Game of Thrones” chose simple paths and explosive set pieces, “Twin Peaks” challenged us, surprised us and rewarded the minds that were the least inert and the most open. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)
This fall, HBO will air “Tokyo Project,” a short film executive produced by Lena Dunham, below, and her “Girls” co-showrunner Jenni Konner. The 30-minute movie, which had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, stars “Girls” actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach and “The Handmaid’s Tale” lead Elisabeth Moss as two strangers who meet and embark on a mysterious romance in Japan’s capital. The short was written, directed and produced by Richard Shepard, who also helmed 12 episodes of “Girls,” according to The Wrap. “This was a true labor of love,” Shepard said in a statement. “Shooting in Tokyo with this perfect cast and crew. And to have it end up at HBO is my dream come true.” “Tokyo Project” airs Oct. 14 on HBO. (EXPRESS)
Switch’s ‘Mario + Rabbids’ turns chaos into fun VIDEO GAMES “Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle,” a Nintendo Switch mashup that brings together the capering bunnies of Ubisoft’s Rayman games with the comparably more staid heroes from the Super Mario series, makes for quite the diversion. The setup for the unexpected crossover is, to be fair, a bit outlandish. We begin in the bedroom of a Mario & Co. fan and inventor who created a headset called SupaMerge that can fuse items together. When a time-traveling washing machine materializes, and a gaggle of rabbids spill out, the rabbids get ahold of the headset and start zapping items in the room. The rabbids get sucked back into the time machine, along with a Mario poster, and end up in the Mushroom Kingdom. Chaos ensues, and it’s up to Mario and his compadres to tidy things up. When Mario and team face hostile rabbids, they battle each other in a tactical exchange of tit-for-tat moves. Plus, there are skill trees that unlock characterspecific moves. Between battles, players face numerous puzzles, which nicely offset the regular distribution of battles. It’s easy to collapse into this world of tactical antics because its gameplay is so absorbing. Strategy games offer the joy of juggling different variables in your head, and “Mario + Rabbids” has lots of charmingly frivolous things to think about. CHRISTOPHER BYRD (TWP)

@CORYPAVLE, tweeting after quarterback Aaron Rodgers came out at Green Bay Packers training camp Tuesday sporting a thick, ‘70s-style mustache. His facial hair set off a social media frenzy. @alexrkonrad hypothesized that his offseason conditioning program “included appearing in a new Mumford & Sons video and a bartending class in Williamsburg.” @NicholasSmutz tweeted: “Just give the Packers the Super Bowl if Aaron Rodgers is going to be sporting this mustache.”

@GILBERTJASONO, tweeting a fake New York Times opinion headline to call out recent Times op-ed headlines that gave some readers cause to raise their eyebrows. A piece by Blackwater founder Erik Prince was titled, “Contractors, Not Troops, Will Save Afghanistan,” while an op-ed by Times columnist Bari Weiss was called, “Three Cheers for Cultural Appropriation.” The headlines, which went against conventional wisdom, spawned a number of parodies.

It was a parody of a quote from conservative blogger Matt Walsh, who tweeted a viral image of a Hurricane Harvey rescue — in which a man carries a woman holding her baby — with the caption, “Woman cradles and protects child. Man carries and protects both. This is how it ought to be, despite what your gender studies professor says.” People turned his comment into a meme.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You don’t have to act on the first idea that comes into your head. Wait until you have gotten up to speed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’re expecting a handsome reward for doing something outside your comfort zone, but it’s not likely to happen the way you envision. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Don’t let another tell you what is best for you. You know what is best, what is right and what is necessary. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You can do something quite difficult even while protecting yourself from outside dangers. Don’t let yourself be imposed upon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others will be interested to hear what you think about current developments, but your views may rub them the wrong way.

You may be under the mistaken impression that someone close to you will want to tell you what to do, when he or she is merely interested.
TODAY: The humidity increases toward the moderate range (dew points in the low to mid-60s) ahead of an approaching cold front. But overall it’s another partly sunny and fairly nice day, albeit warmer, with highs in the more typical mid-80s. Can’t rule out a late-afternoon passing shower.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can surprise someone into doing what you need done, but you’ll want to come clean and explain your motives. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You don’t have any good reason for taking a certain big step — apart from the fact that it will ease tensions between you and a friend.

not understand another’s reasoning, but you can surely get on board with what he or she is choosing to do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Share your hopes and fears with someone who will understand where you are coming from. In this way, a new friendship may be forged.

“Gossip Girl” executive producer Joshua Safran told Vanity Fair that the hit show “learned a lot” from Blake Lively’s ways of communicating with her then-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio: “She had this thing where she had a doll that she took photos of that she sent to Leo. Blake was way ahead of the curve. It was pre-Instagram. She was documenting her life in photographs in a way that people were not yet doing.” (EXPRESS)

Oh, so this was that big thing with the fighters last weekend, right? UFC fighters Ronda Rousey and Travis Browne got married over the weekend in Hawaii.

Sources claim that Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have moved on from their feud with Taylor Swift since the pop star debuted “Look What You Made Me Do,” her new track and music video, which many speculate targets the Wests. “Kim and Kanye are not concerned or interested in dredging up the situation with Taylor and hope that Taylor can move on,” an insider told Us Weekly, adding they “haven’t even been thinking about it.” TMZ also reported the feud is “old and buried,” and that its sources said Kanye is more concerned about his current fight with JAY-Z.
