SHE DIDN’T HAVE A SPARE?

Police officer stays on the case, finds woman’s engagement ring
An officer for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals might have felt let down after she was called to a home in Kent, England, to retrieve a huge snake. It turned out the intruder was merely a big caterpillar, UPI reported Wednesday. The resident was still petrified, so officer Monica Faloona took action. “I decided the best thing to do was to remove the little fella and release him at another location,” she said. (EXPRESS)
Colorado Springs, Colo., police are looking for a jogger who has been halting mid-run to defecate in public. “The Mad Pooper” has done her business in front of Cathy Budde’s home once a week for seven weeks. Budde said she confronted the woman and got an apology, but that’s all. “I put a sign on the wall that’s like, ‘I’m begging you, please stop,’“ Budde said. “She ran by it like 15 times yesterday, and she still pooped.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)
A police officer in Paramus, N.J., bailed out a woman who lost her diamond engagement ring while changing a flat. Police said Kimberly Garcia realized when she got home Sunday that she had lost her ring on the highway after pulling over to change the tire. She went back to the site with police, but they couldn’t find the ring. Officer Jon Henderson, however, didn’t give up. He returned on his own Monday, and finally tracked it down. (AP)

In D.C., wedding cakes for all THE DISTRICT Let them eat cake. Let everybody eat cake. In the pastry world, wedding cakes are the epitome of love and celebration, not a political statement. But this is 2017, and even a cake can be controversial: This fall, the Supreme Court will hear the case of a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple based on his religious beliefs. Which brought us to a delicious counterprotest with the theme “Who Can Resist!” in the form of 18 multitiered cakes at Tuesday’s sixth annual Chefs for Equality party at Dock 5 in Union Market. “If you like cake and dessert and want to get married or celebrate anything, you should be able to get it — as long as you pay for it, right?” said Bayou Bakery’s Tressa Wiles, who has created a cake for the event every year. Wiles says that she has never turned down a cake order and is behind the Colorado couple 100 percent. “They wanted their damn cake, and they couldn’t get

it. They just wanted to be happy and celebrate. This baker kind of ruined it for them,” she said. Wiles made a blue and yellow cake — the colors of the Human Rights Campaign, host of the fundraiser — for this year’s party. Most cakes involved a rainbow. This party was founded in 2012 when D.C. food writer David Hagedorn teamed with the HRC to benefit Maryland’s Question 6, the state’s same-sex marriage law. The event was a success and

was held annually for the next four years with plenty to celebrate: The Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013 and in 2015 ruled that states could not ban same-sex marriage. In June, the Supreme Court agreed to take the Colorado case and is expected to hear arguments in November. LGBTQ activists fear that a ruling in favor of baker Jack Phillips would allow legal discrimination — from bakers, florists, photographers, jewelers and any other business — based on a claim of religious belief. The Justice Department recently filed an amicus brief supporting the baker’s argument. This is uncharted territory for bakers, who are in the business of making cakes for anyone with a sweet tooth and a reason to celebrate. As the legendary Julia Child once said, “A party without cake is just a meeting.” So have any of the bakers ever turned down an order? Not one, said the bakers. Would you make a cake for Attorney General Jeff Sessions, given his department’s support of the Colorado baker? “Absolutely!” Wiles said. “No questions asked. Zero.” ROXANNE ROBERTS (THE WASHINGTON POST)
SOME SPECIES BANNED
Arlington adds new regulations on exotic pets Good news, Arlington owners of odd pets: If you already claim an exotic species as a companion, you get to keep it. If you’ve dawdled over choosing between a skunk and a bobcat, however, you’re out of luck. The Arlington County Board on Tuesday banned the ownership of a variety of species, including primates, raccoons, wolves, coyotes, squirrels, foxes, leopards, tigers, lions, bears, wildcats and venomous snakes, and some spiders, scorpions and centipedes. But nonvenomous snakes and hedgehogs are OK. (TWP)

D.C. keeps the protests peaceful THE DISTRICT President Trump’s supporters rallied near the Washington Monument. Insane Clown Posse fans, known as Juggalos, marched by the Lincoln Memorial. Counterprotesters gathered at Farragut Square while other liberal protesters were by the White House. Nearby were 5K races, weddings and a Latin American Fiesta parade — all sharing space Saturday around the Mall. The collision of more than 30 events and thousands of people on the same day in the nation’s capital resulted in zero arrests or notable incidents, police said. D.C. officials say it’s the sign of a successful day — a day that law enforcement spent months preparing for to ensure safety. While the deadly protest in Charlottesville, Va., last month highlighted lapses in law enforcement, officials in the nation’s capital say the smoothness of last weekend’s events shows how Washington is uniquely qualified to handle multiple simultaneous rallies,

THE WASHINGTON POST
No arrests or incidents during Juggalo or proand anti-Trump events
Fans of the rap group Insane Clown Posse held an orderly protest Saturday on the Mall, as did Trump supporters.
including those with competing political ideologies. Brian Baker, interim director of the city’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, said officials treated Saturday as they would any major event day in the nation’s capital, such as Memorial Day, July 4 or a presidential inauguration. The Mall looked like an open-air barricaded city with Park Police in large numbers and D.C. police in cars and on foot, motorcycles, bikes and horses.
“In Washington, D.C., police do their jobs, so I’m not worried about major fights with outside groups.” PETER BOYKIN, who attended the pro-Trump Mother of All Rallies as president of the Gays for Trump group, saying before the event that he didn’t expect D.C. officials to allow trouble
Police: Six MS-13 gang members charged in man’s death in Frederick County, Md.
On some sections of the Mall, the security presence appeared to dwarf the number of people participating in activities. Local officials had requested that the D.C. National Guard assist with security. The Guard provided dump trucks that blocked nearly every street adjacent to the Mall to restrict vehicle access in areas with large numbers of pedestrians. “We know a major threat worldwide when you have these big events is people using cars
as weapons,” Baker said. Police broke up minor scuffles at the location of the pro-Trump Mother of All Rallies before they could escalate. The rally also drew only a few hundred people, rather than the 5,000 that its National Park Service permit allowed. On top of that, it didn’t appear that protesters were looking for a fight. Counterprotesters mostly stuck to Farragut Square and marched to the White House, not the Washington Monument. D.C. Police Assistant Chief Jeffrey Carroll, who manages the department’s Homeland Security Bureau, said one complicated aspect of a protest-filled weekend is determining how to allocate resources. In addition to events on the Mall, police also had to patrol the popular H Street Festival in Northeast, which attracted thousands of people. Police also must take into account possible medical problems that may arise, like dehydration, while also having resources for standard 911 calls. “We made no arrests and our goal is to make no arrests. We want to manage the crowds and have safe events,” Carroll said. “That’s a good result for us.” PERRY STEIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT A D.C. Council member has asked city transportation officials to review high-earning traffic cameras to see whether their revenues are justified or whether they are configured unfairly in a way that contributes to the perception among some that Washington is a speed trap. Mary Cheh, D-Ward 3, in a letter dated Aug. 28, asked the interim director of the District Department of Transportation to review several roads and intersections with cameras that have triggered complaints from constituents. Tops on that list was

Townsend, citing city records, said nearly two dozen speed cameras earned at least $1 million each in 2016. The busiest collected more than $13 million. And some of the most lucrative are nowhere near schools or residential areas. “[I]s it for traffic safety or for revenue generation?” Townsend asked in a written statement. In her letter, Cheh asked DDOT’s interim chief, Jeff Marootian, to review several roads and intersections that have generated a lot tickets — not to mention constituent ire — to ensure that the speed limits there are appropriate and that sufficient warnings are given. “I wasn’t saying stop it,” Cheh said Tuesday. “I was just saying, ‘Tell me why that’s so.’ ” FREDRICK KUNKLE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Vandals have repeatedly torn tarps from statues
Officials: Pigs exhibited at county fair have swine flu
The former director of the veterans hospital in the nation’s capital has once again been fired. The Department of Veterans Affairs says it has fired Brian Hawkins — citing audits that found mismanagement at the facility. VA Secretary David Shulkin says he used new firing authority under an accountability law signed by President Trump. Hawkins was let go in August. He was later put back on the payroll after he appealed the decision to the Merit Systems Protection Board. The agency’s inspector general’s office continues to investigate inventory practices at the hospital that the VA says put patients at risk. (AP)
Officials in Charlottesville, Va., are trying to stop people from ripping down tarps that cover statues of Confederate generals. The Daily Progress reported Tuesday that the city has placed plastic fencing around the monuments to Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. The tarps have been ripped down six times. NBC 29 reported Monday that rally organizer Jason Kessler led a group to remove tarps from both statues. Charlottesville Commonwealth’s Attorney Dave Chapman said it’s not a crime to remove the shrouds. But he said the fencing will allow authorities to file trespassing charges. (AP)
Pigs that were recently exhibited at a county fair in Maryland are sick with swine flu. State officials said Wednesday that it’s not yet known if humans are vulnerable to this particular strain. An investigation is under way. The pigs were at the Charles County Fair in La Plata, Md., which is an hour south of D.C. Maryland’s health department said it’s rare for pig influenza to infect people, but it is possible. So is the limited spread of swine flu between humans. Since 2005, more than 400 human cases of swine flu have been reported in the U.S. Twenty cases have occurred this year in states other than Maryland. (AP)

GOP races to a repeal vote
With a Senate vote expected next week, will Republicans finally pass a health care bill?
to Medicaid and private insurance subsidies would shrink by $215 billion between 2020, when the plan would begin, and 2026, the last year money is provided in the Cassidy-Graham bill.
POLITICS President Trump on Wednesday endorsed the latest effort by Senate Republicans to push through a bill that repeals the Affordable Care Act, calling it legislation that would help Republicans fulfill their promise to repeal and replace Obamacare. Here’s what to know about the measure, which is co-sponsored by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Bill Cassidy, R-La., that Trump is urging Senate Republicans to support.
Will Republicans have the votes to pass it this time?
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell intends to bring up the CassidyGraham bill on the Senate floor next week, a spokesman said. A combination of Republican legislative strategy, arcane Senate procedure and ordinary partisan divisions is why this bill is being rushed to a vote. But it really boils down to the fact that the Senate has until Sept. 30 to approve the bill with a simple majority of votes rather than the usual 60 needed for most legislation. This creates a valuable opportunity for the GOP and its slim, 52-seat Senate majority.
What’s different with this bill? The Cassidy-Graham bill would implement a decades-old conservative concept, capping the amount that taxpayers spend on Medicaid and giving states full control over the program. What’s new, thanks to the ACA, is a discrepancy in state-by-state

Why is there such a rush?
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., speaks to reporters Tuesday as he pushes a last-ditch effort to uproot former President Obama’s health care law.
funding that would be flattened out by block grants. Most states used the ACA’s funding to expand Medicaid; some Republican-run states, liberated by the Supreme Court’s decision to make the funding optional, did not. As a result, 15 of the 16 states that would stand to gain from block grants are states that voted for President Trump. (The exception is Virginia.) Democratic megastates including California, New York and Massachusetts would lose billions of dollars. “No longer will four blue states get 40 percent of the money,” Graham said to Breitbart. “A
state like Mississippi, they get a 900 percent increase. South Carolina gets 300 percent.” Virginia, which has always had tight Medicaid benefits and eligibility rules, would gain $3 billion, while Maryland, a Medicaid expansion state with more Medicaid benefits, would lose $13 billion. D.C. would lose $3 billion. “We will either have to kick hundreds of thousands of people off of health care, or we will have to dramatically increase taxes,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., whose state would lose $10 billion. A study by Avalere Health forecasts that federal money devoted
With Democrats uniformly opposing the bill and Vice President Pence holding the tiebreaking vote, it would take only three Republican defections to kill the measure. In the GOP’s repeal effort in July, Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and John McCain, R-Ariz., were the reason the bill didn’t pass. This time around, Republicans are already contemplating a scenario in which they are unable to persuade Collins and Rand Paul, R-Ky. who has announced his opposition to the bill. Although Paul’s past comments suggest he could be open to cajoling. McCain’s home state governor, Republican Doug Ducey, has come out in support of the bill. That, coupled with McCain’s close relationship with Graham, has led some Republicans to conclude that he is a gettable vote. So that makes Murkowski the GOP’s biggest remaining challenge, Republicans familiar with the situation said this week. On Wednesday, she said she still needed to review more information on how it would affect her state. (THE WASHINGTON POST/EXPRESS)

MEXICO Rescuers found a surviving child Wednesday in the ruins of a school that collapsed in Mexico’s magnitude 7.1 earthquake, one of many efforts across the city to try to save people trapped in the rubble of schools, homes and businesses toppled by the quake that killed at least 225 people. Workers labored throughout the day, sometimes calling for silence to listen for any voices from the wreckage as they tried to reach the girl at the Enrique Rebsamen school in Mexico City. Rescuers spotted the girl and shouted to her to move her hand if she could hear them, and she did, according to Foro TV. A search dog was then sent into the wreckage to confirm she was alive. Tuesday’s temblor struck on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 earthquake that killed thousands. Just hours before it hit, people around Mexico had held earthquake drills to mark the date. One of the most desperate rescue efforts was at the primary and secondary school, where a wing of the three-story building collapsed into a massive pancake of concrete slabs. Volunteer rescue worker Dr. Pedro Serrano managed to crawl into the crevices of the tottering pile of debris at the school. He made it into a classroom, but found everyone inside dead. “We can hear small noises, but we don’t know if they’re coming from ... the walls above, or someone below calling for help,” he said. The federal Education Department reported that 25 bodies had been recovered from the school, all but four of them children. It was not clear whether those deaths were included in the overall death toll of 225 reported by the federal civil defense agency.
Rescuers pull a man from the rubble Wednesday in Mexico City.
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto had earlier reported 22 bodies found at the school and said 30 children and eight adults were reported missing. In a video message released late Tuesday, Peña Nieto said authorities were working to restore power and other services to the 40 percent of Mexico City and 60 percent of nearby Morelos state that lost electricity. But, he said, “the priority at this moment is to keep rescuing people who are
still trapped and to give medical attention to the injured people.” “Every minute counts to save lives,” the president tweeted. People across central Mexico already had rallied to help their neighbors as dozens of buildings collapsed. Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said buildings fell at 44 sites in the capital alone. The volunteer effort included people from all walks of life in Mexico City. Doctors, dentists and

lawyers stood alongside construction workers and street sweepers, handing buckets of debris or chunks of concrete hand-to-hand down the line. Even Mexico City’s normally raucous motorcycle clubs created motorcades to open lanes for emergency vehicles. Civil defense agency head Luis Felipe Puente said there were 94 dead in Mexico City and 71 in Morelos state. The agency said 43 others were killed in Puebla state. Twelve deaths were listed in the State of Mexico, four in Guerrero state and one in Oaxaca. At the site of a six-story office building collapse in Mexico City, sisters Cristina and Victoria Lopez Torres formed part of a human chain passing bottled water. “I think it’s human nature that drives everyone to come and help others,” Cristina Lopez said. “We are young. We didn’t live through ’85. But we know that it’s important to come out into the streets to help,” said her sister, Victoria. CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN, PETER ORSI AND MARK STEVENSON (AP)
The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that the U.S. economy is strong enough for the central bank to begin reducing its $4.5 trillion balance sheet in October, gradually unwinding a massive stimulus program started after the economy entered a severe recession nearly a decade ago. The Fed will scale back its holdings by $10 billion in October and raise that amount gradually in the months to come. After the 2008 financial crisis and ensuing recession, the Fed took the unprecedented step of adding to its holdings of government bonds and mortgage-related securities from $900 billion to $4.5 trillion to spur the economy. The U.S. economy keeps getting better, according to the central bank. The Fed now projects 2.4 percent growth this year, far higher than last year. “The reason for our actions today … is we think the economy is performing well,” said Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen, above. The Fed did not change interest rates, which remain in a range of 1 to 1.25 percent, but it says it still thinks growth will be strong enough to merit another rate hike by the end of the year and three more in 2018. In a welcome sign for job seekers, the Fed expects unemployment to fall to 4.1 percent next year. HEATHER LONG

Maria leaves Puerto Rico powerless RICARDO ARDUENGO (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)
CARIBBEAN The strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico in over 80 years destroyed hundreds of homes, knocked out power across the island and triggered heavy flooding Wednesday in an onslaught that could plunge the U.S. territory deeper into financial crisis. Leaving at least nine people dead in its wake across the Caribbean, Hurricane Maria blew ashore in the morning in the southeast coastal town of Yabucoa as a Category 4 storm with winds of 155 mph. “Once we’re able to go outside, we’re going to find our island destroyed,” said Abner Gomez, Puerto Rico’s emergency management director. “The information we have received is not encouraging. It’s a system that has destroyed everything in its path.” There were no immediate reports of any deaths or serious injuries on the island. As people waited it out in shelters or took cover inside stairwells, bathrooms and closets, Maria brought down cell towers and power lines, snapped trees, tore off roofs and unloaded at least 20 inches of rain. Widespread flooding was reported, with dozens of cars halfsubmerged in some neighborhoods and many streets turned into rivers. People calling local radio stations reported that doors were being torn off their hinges.
Felix Delgado, mayor of the northern coastal city of Catano, told The Associated Press that 80 percent of the 454 homes in a neighborhood known as Juana Matos were destroyed. “Months and months and months and months are going to pass before we can recover from this,” he said. As of 5 p.m. EDT, Maria had weakened into a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 110 mph. It was expected to pass off the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic late Wednesday and today. Even before the storm, Puerto Rico’s electrical grid was crumbling and the island was in dire condition financially. Puerto Rico is struggling to restructure a portion of its $73 billion debt, and the government has warned it is running out of money. More than 70,000 did not have power as Maria approached because of Hurricane Irma, which sideswiped Puerto Rico on Sept. 6. Irma did not cause deaths or widespread damage on the island, but it left more than 1 million people without electricity. Many people feared extended power outages would further sink businesses struggling amid a recession that has lasted more than a decade. Gov. Ricardo Rossello urged people to have faith: “We are stronger than any hurricane. Together, we will rebuild.” He asked President Trump to declare the island a disaster zone, a step that would open the way to federal aid. According to The Washington

POLITICS Special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian election meddling, has requested extensive records and emails from the White House. The requests cover everything from the president’s private discussions about firing FBI director James Comey to how the White House handled a warning that national security adviser Michael Flynn was under investigation, according to two people briefed on the requests. White House lawyers are now working to turn over internal documents that span 13 categories. The requests broadly ask for any document or email related to a series of highly publicized incidents since Trump became president, including the firings of Flynn and Comey. The special counsel team has also zeroed in on Paul Manafort, a former chairman of the Trump campaign. Mueller’s agents have questioned witnesses and associates of Manafort and Flynn about whether the men sought to conceal the nature of consulting work they did. One email turned over to investigators shows that just before Trump accepted the Republican nomination, Manafort offered to provide briefings on the race to a Russian billionaire aligned with the Kremlin, according to people familiar with the discussions. There is no evidence in the documents that any briefings took place. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

nation+world Iran’s leader responds to president’s remarks on nuclear agreement UNITED NATIONS Iranian President Hassan Rouhani blasted President Trump on Wednesday for his “ignorant, absurd and hateful” speech before the United Nations a day earlier and vowed that Iran would not be the first to walk away from the historic 2015 nuclear deal. Rouhani, during an address at the U.N. General Assembly, referred to Trump obliquely, at one point saying it would be a pity if the nuclear deal were undone by “rogue newcomers to the world of politics.” Rouhani denied that Iran had
ever sought to obtain nuclear weapons and said the missiles it has been testing would be used only for defensive purposes. “Iran does not seek to restore its ancient empire, impose its official religion on others or export its revolution through the force of arms,” he said. Rouhani’s remarks were a response to Trump’s fiery speech Tuesday in which he said that Iran is a “murderous regime” that he put in the same category of nations such as North Korea. Rouhani presented Iran as a nation pursuing a peaceful world and called the nuclear deal a case in point. Characterizing it as a deal negotiated with six world powers, not just the U.S., and endorsed by the U.N., he said that

Rouhani rips Trump at U.N.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called President Trump’s speech at the U.N. “ignorant” and “hateful.”
“it belongs to the international community in its entirety and not only to one or two countries.” Trump on Tuesday called the
agreement with Iran an embarrassment and “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the U.S. has ever entered into.” Trump must decide by Oct. 15 whether to recertify Iran’s compliance with the agreement. The International Atomic Energy Agency, which has inspectors in Iran to monitor its nuclear facilities, has said eight times that it is complying. If Trump does not recertify it, as he has suggested he won’t, Congress will have 60 days to decide whether to reimpose sanctions that were lifted when the deal took effect. On Wednesday, Trump said he already has made a decision on what to do, but he would not say what it is. CAROL MORELLO

More than 400,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar for Bangladesh since Aug. 25, when attacks by a Rohingya insurgent group on police prompted Myanmar’s military to launch “clearance operations.” The U.S. on Wednesday pledged nearly $32 million in aid to help the refugees.

POLITICS The personal security detail of Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt demands triple the manpower of previous heads of the agency, prompting officials to reassign special agents from around the country who otherwise would be investigating environmental crimes. And while hiring in many departments is frozen, the agency has sought an exception to hire additional fulltime staff to protect Pruitt. Shortly after the former Oklahoma attorney general assumed his post in February, aides requested 24/7 protection. “This never happened with prior administrators,” said Michael Hubbard, a former special agent in the EPA’s Criminal Investigation Division. Pruitt has developed a particularly high profile, as well as a divisive one. His aggressiveness in trying to reverse a long list of Obamaera policies and his repeated questioning of how much human activity contributes to climate change have drawn a steady stream of public vitriol. EPA leaders under President Obama had security teams of about a half-dozen individuals, plus occasional loaners. Pruitt’s security detail has swelled to about 18 people to cover his round-the-clock needs, according to individuals briefed on the arrangement. JULIET EILPERIN AND BRADY DENNIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Scooter Gennett of the Reds is one of 110 players who had at least 20 homers entering Wednesday.
The major leagues’ collective home run record falls, marking a new era of power MLB When Kansas City left fielder Alex Gordon clobbered a hanging slider in the eighth inning against Toronto on Tuesday night, Major League Baseball had itself a new single-season record for home runs in a season — surpassing the 5,693 hit in 2000, at the height of the so-called steroids era. The number grew to 5,707 by the end of the night. Gordon’s historic home run ball is headed to Cooperstown, and the milestone makes this a worthy moment for reflection. Whether it’s juiced balls, juiced bats, juiced players or juiced analytics that is behind the explosion in homers, the game has undergone a fundamental change — homers are up
47 percent over 2014, when the homer rate was at a 22-year low. Lost amid the hoopla over No. 5,694 were the homers Yasmani Grandal and Ian Kinsler hit Tuesday, thus becoming the 109th and 110th players this season to reach the 20-homer plateau, one short of the record set a year ago. It is here, in baseball’s bloated middle — where a struggling veteran such as Gordon was happy to get his eighth of the season — that the home run surge signals a tectonic shift in the game. The 20-homer club almost certainly will grow in the coming days. Six players entered Wednesday with 19, and 11 had 18 — including Philadelphia’s Rhys Hoskins, who made his MLB debut Aug. 10.
The perfect storm The rise of analytics and the increasing demand for power arms and power bats have contributed to a record-setting year for homers. In the modern game, fire-breathing relievers throwing 99 mph face a parade of all-or-nothing hitters who understand launch angles and exit velocities and are perfectly willing to trade a handful of strikeouts for each homer. D.S.
Once upon a time, 20 homers in a season made you a borderline All-Star. Now it’s average. Think of someone like Dave Parker, a seven-time All-Star and the 1978 NL MVP with the Pirates. He exceeded 20 homers in nine of his 19 seasons.
Now we have Scooter Gennett, the Reds’ second baseman, sitting on 26 homers — which Parker exceeded only three times — in just 130 games. In 2014, only 57 hitters hit 20 homers. This year, nearly that many could reach 30. The cyclical nature of baseball could mean we’re merely at a high point, but it’s just as likely that this version of the game — built around power players — is here to stay. It’s difficult to envision clubs suddenly eschewing power for a bunch of finesse pitchers and singles hitters. The question isn’t whether it will go back in the other direction, but how far it can go in the direction it’s already heading. DAVE SHEININ (THE WASHINGTON POST)
PURSUIT OF 61
Stanton pushing to catch Maris
After hitting his MLB-best 56th home run of the season Wednesday against the Mets’ Erik Goeddel, Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton is in reach of Roger Maris, who hit 61 homers for the Yankees in 1961. Stanton has the most homers since Ryan Howard hit 58 for the Phillies in 2006. Stanton has 10 games left to catch Maris for the pre-steroids era mark. Miami starts a series at Arizona on Friday before visiting homer-friendly Colorado. (AP)

Turner sets mark for steals in a season Despite missing nearly two months with a broken wrist, shortstop Trea Turner set the Nationals’ record for most stolen bases in a season (42) on Tuesday by swiping two in a 4-2 win over the Braves. Alfonso Soriano had 41 steals in 159 games for the Nats in 2006. Turner, 24, needed just 88 games to set the new mark. Entering Wednesday, Turner was behind only Billy Hamilton (58) and Dee Gordon (55) for the MLB lead.
Lind is career leader in pinch-hit homers In a 7-1 win over the Dodgers on Sunday night, utility man Adam Lind did something no Nationals player had done in his entire tenure with the club, let alone a single season. In his 47th at-bat off the bench with Washington, Lind smashed a two-run shot for his fourth pinch-hit home run of the year. Through Tuesday, Lind was tied with Rockies infielder Pat Valaika for most pinch-hit homers in the majors. (TWP)

Williams gives up diet to preserve his ‘girth’ REDSKINS Trent Williams is no longer vegan. While the Redskins’ starting left tackle still applies the principles he learned during his one-month trial, it’s a difficult lifestyle for an offensive lineman to maintain over the course of a regular season. “I can do it, but I’ll find myself just losing too much weight,” Williams said. “I know in regular people life, that’s a good thing. But playing offensive line, you have to have some type of girth to you.” Williams wanted to change his diet after watching “What The Health,” a 92-minute documentary on Netflix that “examines the link between diet and disease.” It spurred him to analyze what he puts in his body, removing elements such as dairy and red meat that he felt were damaging him. Williams spent the month of July committing to the vegan lifestyle, including when the Redskins reported to Richmond for training camp. But it proved to be a tough task to remain strictly vegan as the regular season inched closer. “It’s hard because we work most of the day,” said Williams, who has made the last five Pro Bowls. “You’d really have to make a lifestyle change as far as

Tail Up Goat is leading D.C. bars to support Hurricane Irma victims BARS For Jill Tyler, co-owner and service director of Tail Up Goat, the destruction caused by Hurricane Irma in the U.S. Virgin Islands was all too familiar. In the summer of 1989, Tyler’s family moved to St. Thomas, just before Hurricane Hugo hit the islands. Their roof blew away, the family was left without power and running water for months and Tyler contracted dengue

fever. Six years later, Hurricane Marilyn caused $2 billion in damage and left 11,000 people homeless, and Tyler’s parents sent her to the U.S. to live with an aunt while the island recovered. So far, at least, the damage from Irma seems worse than that caused by Hugo and Marilyn. To raise money for recovery efforts, Tyler is turning to one of her favorite cocktails: the painkiller, a classic rum drink invented in the British Virgin Islands. Tail Up Goat put a painkiller on the menu, and will donate $1 from each drink sold until the Virgin Islands (which were also hit by

EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON
202.296.7008
Mariann Edgar Budde BISHOP
Sometimes a title is enough to leave someone out of breath. The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, probably has the lung capacity to power through, given her bike-heavy plan for a perfect D.C. day. Budde, 57, leads 45,000 Episcopalians who live and worship in D.C. and in four Maryland counties. The Minnesota transplant works out of the Washington National Cathedral, but if given the chance to leave the gargoyles behind, she’d take to the streets in search of artistic and historical enlightenment. “I think maybe people have the impression that, because I’m a spiritual leader, I don’t like to have fun,” Budde says. But “there’s nothing worse than a joyless Christian. If you don’t have any joy in you, you’re missing something really important.” I’d like to spend [the day] on my bicycle. I started to work in Washington [in 2011], but I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface of living here. What I’d like to do is have an expert guide who knows the neighborhoods of the city really well, a native Washingtonian who has a really good historical sense and multicultural sense and would just bike with me, starting from one point of the city and covering as much ground as we could. I bike through Rock Creek Park all the time, I bike the Capital Crescent Trail all the
time, I bike to work whenever I can. So I know some of the major arteries because if it’s not quicker to ride my bike to work [than a car or Metro], it’s a lot more fun. I read that you can be [at any] two different places on U Street and be in two completely different cities, depending on who’s at the bar and where their focus of attention lies. If that’s true, I’d like to walk through both of those places and talk to people. Maybe at happy hour we could have a conversation about statehood — what does that mean
for people who are long-term residents? What does it mean for people who are just passing through? One really great way to end the evening would be to pick one of the smaller, more experimental theaters and take in a really great play. Maybe stop by Busboys and Poets to pick up my reading list, the books I need to read that would give me a fuller sense of the city. Someone could say “Here’s the poet you need to read, here’s the playwright, here’s the historian.” (AS TOLD TO KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY)

WED, OCT 4
STAGE Kelli O’Hara isn’t sure what she’s supposed to do next. “I don’t know what happens after you win a Tony,” says the actress, who won one two years ago as Anna in “The King and I.” So she’s taking a calculated break from Broadway. Now O’Hara is in concert mode, which brings her to George Mason University this weekend for a student benefit performance, accompanied by her pianist and music director, Dan Lipton. She’s also just joined the second season of the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why,” playing an advocate against bullying. “The reason I’m doing concerts and TV now is because I know I’m coming back to theater very soon,” O’Hara says. Month after month of the eight-showsa-week Broadway routine is something she wants to take on judiciously as she raises two young children with her husband, singer-actor Greg Naughton. When she returns, it may well be in the new musical that “If/Then” composer Tom Kitt is writing specifically for her. O’Hara says other stage projects will likely be announced soon, too. O’Hara has been Broadway’s quietly rising star since her 2005 Tony nomination for her role as the ultra-naive ingenue Clara in Adam Guettel’s “The Light in the Piazza.” She then deliberately shifted gears with a funny, steamy “Pajama Game” with Harry Connick Jr., and cemented her status as an industry favorite playing Nellie Forbush in the musically deluxe staging of “South Pacific.” Yet O’Hara has always looked for ways to broaden her chances.

“As a parent, yes, the show is very heavy. It’s a lot to think about. But I felt it was very important.” KELLI O’HARA, on her decision to join the second season of Netflix’s controversial “13 Reasons Why”
“As an actor, you tend not to turn down straight offers,” she says of being asked to join the controversial, suicide-themed “13 Reasons Why.” “As a parent, yes, the show is very heavy. It’s a lot to think about. But I felt it was very important, and I recognized some of the things happening to these kids even from my own youth.” The series’ co-showrunner is Brian Yorkey, Kitt’s lyricist on the musicals “Next to Normal” and “If/Then.”
“We all have hands in a lot of pots, which makes it fun,” O’Hara says. “We all need to switch things up every once in a while to keep fresh.” And though the new show from Kitt (who played piano at O’Hara’s wedding) is a return to the stage, it won’t be a typical musical: It deals with a kid who is into superhero comics. “It’s simple, a folk-contemporary sound,” she says. Broadway and the world of TV may be far from O’Hara’s home state of Oklahoma, but she says her upbringing is responsible for her success. “Kids growing up right in New York City’s tri-state area — they probably think having a career is less possible,” she says. “Not knowing too much helped me.” NELSON PRESSLEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WITH MORE THAN 400 BEERS TO CHOOSE FROM, SNALLYGASTER IS A BEAST OF A BEER FESTIVAL. Unlike all-you-can-drink events,
Snallygaster is like if the best beer bar in the country suddenly popped up in a D.C. parking lot. You pay per pour with drink tickets, and part of your purchase benefits the nonprofit Arcadia. There’s also music from D.C. bands The Pietasters, Spirit Animal and Rare Essence. To get you ready for Saturday, and to test your craft beer geekdom, we’ve picked 10 of the beers featured at the festival and paired them with tasting notes compiled by Neighborhood Restaurant Group beer director Greg Engert, who curates the taps. Can you figure out which brew goes with which description? (The answers are upside down.) RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) The Yards, 1300 First St. SE; Sat., 1-6 p.m., $35 (includes a mug and 30 food and drink tickets); VIP: $65 (adds early admission at 11:30 a.m.).

Forging a ‘Stronger’ bond Gyllenhaal befriends the Boston bombing victim he portrays
For The Killers, angst and dread are ‘Wonderful’
By now, Jake Gyllenhaal, left, and the real-life Jeff Bauman are old pals.
“just a dude with no legs.” Bauman’s modesty remains, but he’s also come to terms with being someone who can connect and give hope to others. “There’s so much love coming at Jeff,” says Gyllenhaal. “People line up to talk to him. They’re like: ‘This thing happened to me,’ ‘That thing happened to me.’ We are not alone in all that, and that’s what his story says.” Gyllenhaal and Bauman formed a close bond over the two and a half years since they began working together. They’ve gotten to know each other well through Gyllenhaal’s regular trips up to Boston to spend time with Bauman and study how he moves physically. Bauman came
“Now I feel like I know him better than even when I played the role.” JAKE GYLLENHAAL, on forming a close bond with Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman, who he portrays in “Stronger”
to New York to see Gyllenhaal on Broadway. They threw out a first pitch at Fenway Park together. “Since we first met, I think he’s a totally different person now,” Gyllenhaal says. “Particularly in the past year, since getting sober. I think he’s been much
more open. When we first met, trying to learn about him and figure out what was going on was a little harder. And now I feel like I know him better than even when I played the role.” Bauman is now 15 months sober and studying engineering in college. He worked at Costco at the time of the bombing, but he now hopes to work for a prosthetics company. He also moved out of his mother’s apartment and into his own place. “I took my hand off the pause button,” says Bauman. “I had my life on pause. You get stuck, especially when you’re drinking and isolating. I started homing in on what I wanted to do as a person. Just try to grow up.” JAKE COYLE (AP)
SHE’LL BE BACK
Linda Hamilton will return to ‘Terminator’
Linda Hamilton is returning to the “Terminator” franchise for the first time since 1991’s “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” “Terminator” creator James Cameron announced Hamilton’s casting Tuesday at a private event in Los Angeles, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (Paramount Pictures confirmed the news.) Arnold Schwarzenegger will also return for the film, which will be produced by Cameron and directed by “Deadpool’s” Tim Miller. (AP) All eight seasons of “Will & Grace” begin streaming on Hulu today
CHRIS PIZZELLO (INVISION/AP)
FILM As the cast and filmmakers of “Stronger” rose to take a bow after the film’s Toronto International Film Festival premiere this month, Jake Gyllenhaal realized that Jeff Bauman, who he plays in the film and who wears prosthetic legs, was still sitting, overwhelmed with emotion. “Jake was like, ‘Get up!’ ” Bauman says. “As soon as he got up, everyone else stood up,” Gyllenhaal recalls. “I realized: This movie just showed them everything he went through just for that moment. I’ve never had an experience like that making a movie.” “Stronger,” based on Bauman’s 2014 memoir and directed by David Gordon Green, is the kind of movie that holds as much drama off the screen as on it. The movie chronicles Bauman’s struggles after a bomb explosion tore through his legs while he was waiting by the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon. He was there to greet his girlfriend, Erin Hurley (portrayed by Tatiana Maslany), who had previously chided him for never “showing up.” Bauman, now 31, is shown recalibrating his life, still struggling with relationship and drinking problems that predated the tragedy and chafing at the role cast upon him as a heroic symbol of “Boston Strong.” Bauman instead saw himself merely, he says, as
MUSIC REVIEW Don’t be fooled by the title of The Killers’ latest album. “Wonderful Wonderful,” the long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s “Battle Born,” is a rich, complex musical work riven by lyrics about insecurity and vulnerability. It’s a 10-track meditation on the dread of modern life and the anxiety of masculinity. It’s wonderfully, wonderfully dark. The record, out Friday, finds The Killers exploring different sounds, from straight-ahead rock to synth-led electronica and U2-like jangly guitars. Lead singer Brandon Flowers, above, isn’t afraid to show weakness, whether it’s mocking his gender in the terrifically ironic “The Man” or expressing his frustration at connecting to a loved one: “I’m climbing but the walls keep stacking up” he sings in “Rut.” “Run for Cover” — a driving, classic-sounding Killers tune — exposes the hypocrisy of men in power, while the twangy, footstomper “The Calling” — narrated by Woody Harrelson — continues that theme in a religious way. “Lie, cheat, steal — hope they fix it up in post,” Flowers sings. The last song is an anguished cry from Flowers that perfectly captures his angst in 2017. “Have All the Songs Been Written?” is a sad plea about impotency — both creative and emotional. “Have all these years been worth it?” Flowers asks. They’ll feel like they have when you listen to “Wonderful Wonderful.” MARK KENNEDY (AP)

trending “Okay chipotle queso SUCKS. I paid $5 for the worst ‘queso’ I’ve ever eaten. The police are on their way, Chipotle.” @UH_LEX_UH_ was one of the many people who tried Chipotle’s new queso and found it to be a huge letdown. The fast-casual Mexican chain rolled out the long-anticipated queso dip last week, but diners’ reviews on social media have been brutal. @fabbrilous called it a “crime against cheese;” @alhenry25 tweeted that the queso was “absolute TRASH;” and @Fauziap101 asked Chipotle to “plz go to Texas and try queso ... Currently eating a chip dipped in disappointment.”
“Just got an email someone sent me a gift from my Amazon baby registry? I have A LOT of questions. What I don’t have is a baby.” @VPOLTRACK, tweeting after an
error caused a seemingly large number of Amazon customers to get emails about nonexistent baby registries. Some people said the nature of the mistake was hurtful. “[I] did IVF, had two miscarriages. This is salt on the wound,” @Juliacsk tweeted at Amazon.

“John Kelly has a terrible poker face.” @JESSICATAYLOR, tweeting about John Kelly’s facepalm that was seen around the world. While President Trump addressed the United Nations on Tuesday, his chief of staff was photographed with a hand over his face. Kelly also looked miserable last month when Trump was making controversial remarks on the violence in Charlottesville, Va. “John Kelly apparently went through some sort of existential crisis during Trump’s UN speech,” @Kyle_Feldscher tweeted.
“Either Ivanka Trump had a horrible day or she doesn’t know what the word ‘otherwise’ means!”
“#MyCookingStyleIs a great way to assure me that the smoke alarm is working fine.”
@EDKRASSEN, discussing Ivanka Trump’s understanding of the word “otherwise.” On Tuesday, Trump tweeted a photo of herself holding her nephew Luke and said: “The best part of an otherwise incredible day!” @Megan_Sass parodied her use of the word: “Ivanka is a terrible part of an otherwise horrific administration.”
@HELENMARYME, tweeting this week after @HashtagRoundup asked people to tweet a description of their cooking styles. @googlygirl98 called hers, “Vicarious. You do the cooking and tell me how much you enjoy it.” And @SheaBrowning called his “3 percent Martha Stewart, 97 percent Chef Boyardee.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may be somewhat oversensitive, and many who know you well are bound to notice. Changes may have to be made. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will want to let your creativity soar — once you free yourself from self-restrictions. You’ve held yourself back for too long. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pay no attention to those who would have you think that you can’t get it all done. You can prove the naysayers wrong. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may find yourself far from the beaten path, but that should afford you the opportunity to explore a hidden aspect of your nature. WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
a good day to let bygones be bygones, especially where a housemate is concerned. You don’t want to increase tensions, surely.

Halle Berry has struck up a romance with music producer Alex Da Kid. The two locked arms in London on Tuesday night on their way to a restaurant. “They seem smitten but it’s pretty early,” a source told People magazine about the couple. “They met over the summer. It’s rather new. He has tremendous success in his own right.” The insider added that Berry is “having a lot of fun.” Berry also shared a black-and-white Instagram photo on Tuesday of Alex embracing her. “My balance,” she captioned the picture. Alex then posted the same photo to Twitter (EXPRESS)
