THE DISTRICT Drivers who illegally block bike lanes, run red lights and disregard crosswalks in the District might soon have their driving violations aired out online for everyone to see. A new Twitter bot, How’s My Driving DC, uses license plate numbers to produce a list of unresolved traffic fines and violations on request. Since its launch this summer, the Twitter account has unearthed tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of unpaid fees owed by drivers on District roads. The highest number so far?

Personal details such as the vehicle owner’s name are not included in the record, culled from the District Department of Transportation’s unpaid-ticket database. Creator Daniel Schep said the bot was never meant to publicly shame individuals. But D.C. traffic enforcement agencies, he said, should be ashamed of the numbers the bot is turning up. “When I first started this, I was shocked — and I still am — by the numbers I see on a regular basis,” said Schep, 31,

They’re numbers that a reasonable person would think might result in a car being booted or towed.” About 30 Department of Public Works tow trucks roam the city on any given day, officials said. For a vehicle to be towed, several factors must coincide, including having two or more unpaid tickets more than 60 days old and being spotted by an officer in time to alert a tow truck before the car is moved. Some say the dollar amounts left unpaid are an indicator that the District’s traffic enforcement
and fines are unreasonable. “This is an issue we hear multiple perspectives on, with some calling for a larger enforcement presence and others calling for less,” said Department of Public Works Director Chris Shorter. “It’s a balance we work hard to maintain.” Last year, the District issued 2.6 million tickets, including photo citations, parking tickets and moving violations, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic. Of those, more than 806,000 went unpaid. That’s roughly $133 million in unpaid fines, AAA said, up from $125 million the previous year. MARISSA J. LANG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

ABERDEEN, MD. An employee at a Rite Aid warehouse opened fire at work Thursday, killing three people before taking her own life, police said. Several others were wounded. The suspect was a temporary employee at the Rite Aid distribution center in northeastern Maryland, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said. She had been taken into custody in critical condition that morning. Police later identified her as 26-year-old Snochia Moseley of Baltimore County. Gahler said authorities don’t know her motive. It appears only one weapon — a 9mm Glock registered in her name — was used and no shots were fired by responding law enforcement officers, Gahler said. Krystal Watson, 33, said her husband, Eric, works at the facility and told her told her that the suspect had been arguing with somebody else near a time clock after a “town hall meeting.” “And she went off,” she said. Watson said her husband told her the shooting started in a break room. “She didn’t have a particular target. She was just shooting,” Watson said. “She didn’t aim. She just shot.” Area hospitals reported receiving at least five patients from the incident. Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore said it was treating four patients with gunshot wounds. Two were in stable condition and two were seriously injured. A spokesman for a health system that includes Christiana Hospital in Newark, Del., said one patient was being treated there. Christiana Care Health System spokesman Hiran Ratnayake said the person was in serious condition.
Shirley Pollack reacts after a shooting left several dead Thursday morning.
Gahler said the call about shots fired came in at about 9:06 a.m. and deputies and other officers were on the scene in just over five minutes. Mike Carre, an employee of a furniture logistics operation next to the distribution center, said he helped tend to a wounded man. Carre locked the doors of his workplace after the injured man came hobbling in, bleeding from his leg. He called 911 before
helping colleagues wrap the man’s blood-soaked jeans above his injury to cut off blood flow. Carre said the man told him the shooter “just came in in a bad mood this morning. He said she’s usually nice. But today, I guess it wasn’t her day. She just came in to pick a fight with someone. “She pulled out a gun and she just started shooting at her co-workers.” In a tweet, Maryland Gov.
Larry Hogan said his office was monitoring the situation in Aberdeen and that the state was ready to offer any support. Susan Henderson, spokesman for the drugstore chain Rite Aid, described the warehouse as a support facility adjacent to a larger building. Harford County Executive Barry Glassman said that unfortunately, incidents like this are “becoming a too-often occurrence not only in Harford County but in the country.” The shootings come after three people were killed and two others wounded in a shooting at a Harford County business park in October 2017. And in 2016, two sheriff’s deputies were shot and killed at a Panera restaurant in Harford County. “It was another tragic event for us in Harford County,” Gahler said Thursday. “Unfortunately, all of us have been standing here before.” DAVID McFADDEN (AP)/ THE WASHINGTON POST

local D.C. police say stabbing Tuesday evening was likely a random attack THE DISTRICT A 23-year-old man was arrested in the Tuesday evening stabbing death of a runner who was attacked near her apartment in the Logan Circle neighborhood. The man was identified as Anthony Marquell Crawford, who police said has an address in Northwest Washington. Crawford was arrested in a park near 14th and Girard streets. Police
said he did not cooperate with officers and was injured while being taken into custody. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Peter Newsham credited the quick arrest to bystanders who gave a detailed description of the attacker’s clothing and patrol officers who then located the suspect in the park. Wendy Martinez, 35, was attacked just before 8 p.m. She staggered into a nearby takeout restaurant, where patrons tried in vain to save her. An employee at an internet startup, she had completed a master’s at Georgetown

Paddlers who ply the Potomac River near President Trump’s Loudoun County golf course filed a federal lawsuit Thursday to try to reverse a policy that closes a 2-mile stretch of the river when the president is playing golf. The Coast Guard instituted the shore-to-shore security perimeter last summer, angering recreational canoers and kayakers who use the river for paddling, classes and conservation. Democracy Forward, a nonprofit formed last year that focuses on executive branch actions, is representing the Canoe Cruisers Association of Greater Washington, DC. The lawsuit says Trump has

Karl Schultz, commandant of the Coast Guard, and Kirstjen Nielsen, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, as well as their agencies. A spokeswoman for Nielsen said the agency does not comment on pending litigation. The security zone, known as “Seneca Lake,” is a calm stretch of river that is particularly useful for beginners, classes and river cleanup outings, the suit says. Paddlers prefer that instead of restricting access along the half-mile width of the river, the Coast Guard reduce the security perimeter to half that distance on the Virginia side.

Stories just like Ford’s Prep school alumni recall a culture of heavy drinking and sexual aggression in the ’80s WASHINGTON Bettina Lanyi remembers. It was 1986, and she was a 13-year-old and eighth-grader. She and a friend went to a house in Tenleytown packed with high school kids, including a throng of boys from Gonzaga College High School and Georgetown Preparatory School. There was a lot of beer. She hadn’t been drinking, but her friend, also an eighthgrader, had. Lanyi turned around to see a large freshman lying on top of her friend. Lanyi shoved the boy and kicked him. Appealing to her to let him continue, the boy said: “I’ll never get her number otherwise.” She took her friend and left. Lanyi has thought about that night often since Sunday, when Christine Blasey Ford publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when she was a 15-year-old student at Holton-Arms School and he was a 17-year-old student at Georgetown Prep. She has thought about stories of male entitlement and

drunken sexual assault she heard from classmates at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart. “There was a lot of shame and stigma then if a girl was raped, so girls tried to hide it. They didn’t tell anyone,” Lanyi said. “The term ‘date rape’ wasn’t something that even existed then. So if it happened, it was always kind of the girl’s fault.” On Tuesday, Lanyi helped launch an online letter of support for Ford from women and men who grew up in the upper Northwest Washington neighborhoods and Maryland suburbs that fed into the exclusive private schools and country clubs during the

same era that Ford and Kavanaugh attended their schools. The letter’s message to Ford is unambiguous: “We believe you.

Each one of us heard your story and not one of us was surprised. These are the stories of our lives and our friends’ lives.” More than 300 people signed the letter, including graduates of Stone Ridge, Georgetown Prep, Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, Gonzaga and others. This story is based on interviews with two dozen former students, many of whom asked not to be identified because of how tightly knit and powerful the alumni from those schools are. They described parties with heavy drinking and drug use that took place almost every weekend and even on weeknights in private homes, parks, open fields and golf courses in Maryland and Washington. Until 1986, the drinking age in Washington was 18, and alcohol was easily accessible. Drugs, especially cocaine and quaaludes, were plentiful. Women who attended those parties remember sexually aggressive behavior by some of the male students that often bordered on assault and was routinely fueled by excessive

drinking. “Most of the guys at these schools were really decent, nice guys, but there was a small minority that was popular and was out of control,” said a woman who attended Georgetown Visitation in the early 1980s and asked not to be identified. “I never got dragged into a bedroom, but that . . . happened to girls all the time.” Another woman who did not want to be identified said what she witnessed and what happened to her friends left her scarred three decades later. “It was just a horrible culture,” she said. “I never married, I don’t have kids, and I trace it all back to those parties.” Several Georgetown Prep graduates from the 1980s who were interviewed say they have fond memories of the school and the lifetime friendships they forged there. But they also corroborate the impression that alcohol was an integral part of the school’s identity at the time and that heavy drinking and mistreatment of women were widely accepted. “Drinking was part of the fabric of the school from the first day of freshman year to graduation,” said Bill Barbot, who graduated from Georgetown Prep in 1986 and overlapped with Kavanaugh and with Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. All of the women interviewed for this story took pains to point out that not all of the students at the all-boys schools took part in this culture. But the problem was widespread and toxic, they said. “There were lots of teenage boys I knew at Prep and Gonzaga who were not sexually assaulting girls, but they were in an environment where that was seen as acceptable,” said a woman who attended Stone Ridge in the late 1980s and is a member of the Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic parish in Washington, the same church Kavanaugh attends. “The story that Dr. Ford told, that doesn’t surprise me at all.” JOE HEIM (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Is it goodbye to good bugs? SCIENCE A staple of summer — swarms of bugs — seems to be a thing of the past. And that worries scientists. Pesky mosquitoes, diseasecarrying ticks, crop-eating aphids and icky cockroaches are doing fine. The more beneficial flying insects — native bees, moths, butterflies, ladybugs, lovebugs, mayflies and fireflies — appear to be less abundant. Scientists think something is amiss, but they can’t be certain: In the past, they didn’t systematically count the populations of flying insects, so they can’t make a proper comparison to today. Nevertheless, they’re pretty sure there are fewer insects that are crucial to as much as 80 percent of what we eat. Yes, some insects are pests. But they also pollinate plants, are a key link in the food chain and help decompose life. “You have total ecosystem collapse if you lose your insects. How much worse can it get than that?” said University of Delaware entomologist Doug Tallamy. If they disappeared, “the world would start to rot.” He noted that Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson once called bugs “the little things that run the world.” There are many signs of decline. Research has shown dwindling individual species in specific places, including lightning bugs, moths and bumblebees.
BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Scientists cite many causes for decline of beneficial flying insects
A monarch butterfly rests on a milkweed leaf last month in Purcellville, Va. A loss of milkweed habitat is thought to have led to fewer monarchs.
One study estimated a 14 percent decline in ladybugs in the United States and Canada from 1987 to 2006. But there’s not much research looking at all flying insects across large areas. Last year, a study found an 82 percent mid-summer decline in the number and weight of bugs captured in traps in 63 nature preserves in Germany compared with 27 years earlier. It was one of the few broad studies available. Scientists say similar
comparisons can’t be done elsewhere because similar counts weren’t done decades ago. The lack of older data makes it “unclear to what degree we’re experiencing an arthropocalypse,” said University of Illinois entomologist May Berenbaum. Individual studies aren’t convincing in themselves, “but the sheer accumulated weight of evidence seems to be shifting” to show a problem, she said. Most scientists say many factors have contributed to
the apparent decline in flying insects. Suspects include habitat loss, insecticide use, the killing of native weeds, single-crop agriculture, invasive species, light pollution, highway traffic and climate change. To Tallamy, two causes stand out: humans’ war on weeds and vast farmland planted with the same few crops. Weeds and native plants are what bugs eat and where they live, Tallamy said. Manicured lawns in the United States are so prevalent that, added together, they are as big as New England, he said. Those landscapes are “essentially dead zones,” he said. Light pollution is a big problem for species such as moths and fireflies, bug experts said. Governments are trying to improve the situation. Maryland is in a three-year experiment to see if planting bee-friendly native wildflowers helps.

Asocial octopuses warm up on ecstasy
Octopuses are strict isolationists — except when mating. But researchers reported Thursday in the journal Current Biology that MDMA, or ecstasy, seems to help the creatures socialize. When two cephalopods were given the drug and put into the same tank, they appeared to interact in a friendly manner rather than ignoring or attacking one another. MDMA is seen as a possible anxiety treatment for humans. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MIKE MANSFIELD FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation is recruiting for the Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program. This program provides up to ten federal employees with one year of professional development in Japan. It was established by the U.S. Congress in 1994 to build a corps of U.S. federal government employees with proficiency in the Japanese language and practical, firsthand knowledge about Japan and its government.
THE CAROLINAS As rivers swollen to record levels started to recede Thursday in North Carolina, officials tried to head off potential environmental disasters and prepared for more record flooding downstream in South Carolina. Roads were still clogged with people trying to make it back to where the floods had receded, leaving silty mud on walls and floors. Crews closed some bridges and reopened others as trillions of gallons of water continued its long, meandering journey to the Atlantic Ocean. Potential environmental problems remained. Duke Energy issued a high-level emergency alert after floodwaters from the Cape Fear River overtopped an earthen dike and inundated a large lake at a closed power plant
The Mansfield Fellowship Program includes language training and placements primarily in Japanese government offices. Fellows will develop an in-depth understanding of Japan’s government and its policymaking process and create networks of contacts with their counterparts in the government of Japan and the business, professional, and academic communities. Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis to mid-career government employees with a professional interest in Japan. Successful candidates will join a diverse pool of Mansfield Fellows serving in senior positions with the U.S. government.

that human, hog and other animal waste was mixing in with floodwaters in the Carolinas. Florence is blamed for at least 41 deaths in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Well over half of those killed were in vehicles. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster estimated damage from the flood in his state at $1.2 billion in a letter that said the flooding will be the worst disaster in the state’s modern history. McMaster asked Congress to rush federal aid. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said he knows the damage in his state will add up to billions of dollars, but said with the effects of the storm ongoing, there was no way to make a more accurate estimate.

Lab closed over child porn FBI: Files on janitor’s laptop led to closure of N.M. solar observatory ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The mysterious closure of a solar observatory in southern New Mexico earlier this month happened after the FBI opened a child pornography investigation involving a janitor’s computer found at the observatory, according to an FBI search warrant affidavit filed in federal court. The mountaintop Sunspot Solar Observatory closed from
Sept. 6 to 17, but the research association that manages it has said only that an unspecified security issue was the reason. A search warrant filed last week in federal court said the facility’s chief observer, who was not identified, told FBI agents in August he found a laptop computer with child pornography several months earlier but did not immediately report the discovery to authorities because of an unspecified urgent issue at the observatory. The search warrant led to a search of computers and devices
owned by a janitor, Joshua Lee Cope. An FBI agent seized the laptop on Aug. 21, court documents said. After Cope could not find his laptop, the documents said, he began to act frantically and claimed that there was a “serial killer” in the area. The observatory closed, without consulting FBI agents, after Cope’s comments about a killer, the warrant said. FBI spokesman Frank Fisher said Thursday that Cope, 30, has not been charged and the investigation is ongoing. RUSSELL CONTRERAS (AP)

No Monday testimony POLITICS An attorney for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers, said Thursday that her appearing at a hearing on Monday to detail her claims is “not possible,” but that she could testify later in the week. Debra Katz, Ford’s lawyer, relayed the response to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, requesting to set up a call with them to “discuss the conditions under which [Ford] would be prepared to testify next week.” “As you are aware, she’s been receiving death threats which have been reported to the FBI and she and her family have been forced out of their home,” Katz wrote to the committee. “She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety.” Katz reiterated that Ford would like the FBI to investigate before her testimony. The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who had asked Ford’s lawyers to respond by Friday morning whether she planned to appear Monday, had no immediate response. Democratic senators, pointing to the highly charged Anita Hill hearings in October 1991, have defended Ford’s request to have the FBI do its own probe before she testifies. Back then, the FBI report into Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment against nowJustice Clarence Thomas was finished on Sept. 26, 1991 — three days after its inquiry began. “Someone who is lying does not

appropriate for the Senate to step in with its own investigation. Meanwhile, the Judiciary Committee has interviewed lawyers to be potential outside counsel who would lead the questioning in the highly charged hearing, according to two people familiar with the process. If the outside counsel was a woman, it could help with an optics issue facing the 11 Republican senators on the committee, who are all men. The objective of bringing in an outside lawyer, one Senate GOP official said, would be having an “experienced attorney who hasn’t been so deeply involved in the nomination.” Ford has alleged that while she and Kavanaugh were at a house party in the ’80s, Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her and stifled her screams as he tried to take off her clothes. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations. SEUNG MIN KIM, JOHN WAGNER
POLITICS The Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded promotions and pay increases to five political operatives with no housing policy experience within their first months on the job, demonstrating what government watchdogs and career staff describe as a premium put on loyalty over expertise. The raises, documented in a Washington Post analysis of HUD political hires, resulted in annual salaries between $98,000 and $155,000 for the five appointees, all of whom had worked on Donald Trump’s or Ben Carson’s presidential campaigns. Three of them did not list bachelor’s degrees on their résumés. The hires were among at least 24 people without evident housing policy experience who were appointed to the bestpaying political positions at HUD. The limited experience at the upper reaches of the agency — HUD Secretary Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, has no prior housing, executive or government background — injected confusion into the rollout of policy initiatives and brought delays to even routine functions, according to interviews with 16 current and former career staff members. HUD spokesman Raffi Williams said in a statement that appointing people with “varying experiences to government is not unusual” and makes HUD a “more dynamic organization.”

The White House. Judge Kavanaugh has not asked to have the FBI investigate these claims. Is that the reaction of an innocent person?

SCOUTING REPORT
Alex Smith and the Redskins may need to pick up the pace to keep up with the Packers on Sunday.
REDSKINS VS. PACKERS | 1 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX
Impatience may pay off Redskins look to be more aggressive after refusal to adjust hurt them in loss to Colts NFL Alex Smith is a patient man, perhaps too patient at times. His reputation as a game manager formed over 13 years in the NFL. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback has never forced the ball into spots or risked unnecessary turnovers. That’s not an insult, as Smith has managed his way to playoff berths and many more wins than losses. He hasn’t thrown more than eight interceptions in a season since 2010. However, there are days such as last Sunday, when the Colts welcomed the Redskins to take safe, underneath throws as part of their game plan. That worked in Indianapolis’ favor with a 21-9 victory, raising questions about whether Washington was aggressive enough through the air. Staying patient was part of the Redskins’ game plan, Smith explained. They expected the Colts to play a lot of zone with two deep safeties preventing big plays. The
Redskins missed a few chances, with drops by Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson Jr. and a fumble by tight end Jordan Reed. Smith, who completed 33 of 46 passes for 292 yards without a touchdown or interception, also pointed to the team’s 33 percent conversion rate on third downs, which prevented the offense from getting into a rhythm. “It’s a fine line,” Smith said. “You fight that battle, right? Should we stay patient with this? We want to stay patient with this. Then the next day maybe you are saying, maybe I should have gone a different direction quicker.” The new Redskins quarterback calls it all a “process.” He’s still developing chemistry with receivers and shoring up the protection calls with center Chase Roullier. Now Smith has two new targets after Washington signed former first-rounders Michael Floyd and Breshad Perriman this week. There’s a showdown with
Key matchups Redskins OLB Ryan Kerrigan vs. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Kerrigan, 30, has just one tackle this season and is still looking for his first sack after racking up 13 last season. Rodgers is playing with a sprained MCL and won’t be as elusive as usual — he was sacked four times by the Vikings last week. Redskins WR Paul Richardson vs. Packers FS Ha Ha Clinton-Dix In an ugly game against Indianapolis, Richardson began to flash his talent. He had four grabs for 63 yards, including a 34-yarder. Clinton-Dix is a rangy safety who will look to prevent the deep ball. Redskins OG Brandon Scherff vs. Packers DE Mike Daniels Just 6 feet tall, Daniels plays with great leverage and made his first Pro Bowl last season. He could be a nuisance for Scherff and an O-line that might be missing guard Shawn Lauvao (calf). GABE HIATT (EXPRESS)

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers on Sunday, when the Redskins may need to keep up with a fast scoring pace. Richardson acknowledged the need to start fast and play well throughout. “Teams like that, you’ve got to keep those guys off the field,” Richardson said. There should be opportunities for success against a Packers pass defense that ranks No. 26 in the league. The Redskins’ passing game has been efficient, but that’s mostly because Reed and running backs Chris Thompson and Adrian Peterson grabbed 34 of Smith’s 54 completions. Smith admitted to secondguessing some decisions after watching film of the loss, but that wasn’t the only issue. “The [playbook] shrinks quite a bit when you have third-downand-20 four times,” coach Jay Gruden said. “Some games are like that.” KAREEM COPELAND

Rodgers torments defenders The worst part about playing against Aaron Rodgers, defenders say, is the dread. Opponents wait and wonder how the Green Bay quarterback is going to beat them. Will it be a pass fired on the run? A lob over the linebacker’s head? A Hail Mary? Those who play against him learn to disguise formations for as long as they can. “If you show at the start that you are coming with the blitz, you are dead,” former Redskins linebacker London Fletcher said. Redskins safety D.J. Swearinger said Rodgers has “a cannon” for an arm capable of making every throw on the field and thrown harder than anyone else. “There’s definitely only one of him,” Swearinger said. “No. 12 is a different species.” (TWP)

NFL Ryan Fitzpatrick is nobody’s idea of a franchise quarterback. He is a 35-year-old father of six who rubs beards with offensive linemen, graduated from Harvard, got picked in the seventh round and, as former teammate Scott Chandler said, “runs like a duck.” He spent his first 13 years in the NFL on a circular pattern: land a backup job, win the starting spot, earn a contract, crash back to Earth, repeat. Seven teams have acquired Fitzpatrick, almost always as a backup. He has started for all of them. Fitzpatrick ascended to his current starting role because Jameis Winston, the Buccaneers’ presumed franchise QB, got suspended three games for allegedly groping an Uber driver. The Bucs finished 5-11 last year and faced dim prospects, with a brutal opening schedule this season that included games against New Orleans and Philadelphia. But Tampa Bay is 2-0, and Fitzpatrick is now the most improbable figure in football. He leads the NFL in yards passing (819) and passer rating (151.5). He’s completed 78.7 percent of his passes (third in the NFL) with eight touchdown passes (second) and one interception. How does a bushy-faced journeyman become the top quarterback in the NFL? Supernatural intervention may be the most reasonable explanation — chalk it up to “FitzMagic.” But there may be earthly reasons for Fitzpatrick’s breakout. His supporters insist he possessed the qualities to lead an NFL team all these years, and he finally landed in an ideal situation after a

career of crummy circumstances. He never viewed himself the way the rest of the world did. “He believes he’s as good as the top 10 or 15 quarterbacks on the planet,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy said. “He does not lack confidence.” When Murphy spoke with Fitzpatrick this summer, he sensed his old QB knew he’d have a chance to be successful. “Coach,” Fitzpatrick told him, “we’ve got some real good receivers.” By getting the most out of DeSean Jackson — who leads the league in receiving yards — and Mike Evans, Fitzpatrick has refreshed Tampa. When Winston, the No. 1 overall pick in 2015, returns after the Bucs play the Steelers on Monday night, coach Dirk Koetter may have no choice but to stick with Fitzpatrick. The quarterback has faced doubt since he entered the league with the Rams in 2005. In 2004, Rams coach Mike Martz studied video of Fitzpatrick after QB coach John Ramsdell told him he
needed to see this kid from the Ivy League. Martz looks for three qualities in quarterbacks: accuracy, intelligence and toughness. “He was off the charts in all three of them,” Martz said. Fitzpatrick could put the ball where he wanted. He was obviously smart — you know, Harvard — but his football acuity showed in how he made quick, correct decisions. He could take hits and didn’t even change his expression following interceptions. The Rams graded Fitzpatrick as a second- or third-round talent, then took him in the seventh round. Martz believed he had found another passer in the category of Kurt Warner or Marc Bulger, an ideal QB for his system. But Martz fell ill midway through the 2005 season and didn’t return to the Rams. He called one player: Fitzpatrick. “Don’t ever let anybody tell you you can’t play,” Martz said he told him. “You’re a starter in this league.” ADAM KILGORE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

McNair report due Friday Maryland set to receive details of player’s death before Big Ten opener

WADA revokes ban on Russia despite protests
PATRICK SEMANSKY (AP)
COLLEGE FOOTBALL Maryland begins Big Ten play Saturday against Minnesota, a day after the findings of an external investigation into the death of Jordan McNair are expected to be released. The McNair school’s board of regents will be briefed at a Friday meeting on the results of an independent firm’s probe into the workout that led to McNair’s death, and those results are expected to be shared publicly afterward. A second investigation, which has tasked an eight-person commission with reviewing the football program’s culture, has no formal deadline. One or both of these reports could lead to the firing of coach DJ Durkin, who remains on administrative leave. According to the contract between Walters, Inc. and the university, the report to be released Friday will evaluate the athletic department’s “procedures and protocols” related to McNair’s death and its practices related to athlete health and safety. Maryland then will host Minnesota on Saturday at noon. “All we’re going to do is worry about the football game,” interim coach Matt Canada said this week. “That’s our job. That’s our charge.”
Fans at Maryland last week held signs with Jordan McNair’s number to honor the lineman who died of heatstroke.
Many parents of players have expressed their support of Durkin. McNair’s father, Marty, said on “Good Morning America” last month that Durkin should be fired and “shouldn’t be able to work with anybody else’s kid.” The report released Friday could provide more clarity regarding Durkin and the staff’s actions during the May workout when McNair suffered a heatstroke. The board of regents then could make personnel decisions based on the findings. If fired with cause, Maryland would not owe Durkin anything, but if he is fired without cause, he would receive a $5.8 million buyout.

OLYMPICS The World Anti-Doping Agency reinstated Russia’s drug testing agency on Thursday, ending the nearly three-year suspension of the country’s RUSADA program that resulted from a statesponsored doping scheme. The decision came via a vote of WADA’s 12-member executive committee. The lawyer for Grigory Rodchenkov, the whistleblower who helped uncover Russia’s cheating, called the move “the greatest treachery against clean athletes in Olympic history.” WADA backtracked on two key conditions it had set for reinstatement: That Russia accept a report that concluded state involvement in the doping and cover-ups, and that Russia give access to evidence stored in its discredited Moscow lab. In announcing its decision to find the Russian Anti-Doping Agency compliant, WADA said it would be “subject to strict conditions.” There is now a “clear timeline” for Russia to grant WADA access to samples stored in its Moscow lab, WADA president Craig Reedie said, but no date was announced. Last week, a key WADA committee changed direction and surprisingly recommended Russia be reinstated. That led to fierce criticism from anti-doping figures — some from within WADA itself — and athletes from around the world opposed to Russia’s reinstatement. EDDIE PELLS (AP)

‘The Children Act’
KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY | THE REELIST
Strange magic: In ‘House,’ a weirdo finds his power Lewis Barnavelt is a weirdo. The newly orphaned 10-year-old protagonist of “The House With a Clock in Its Walls,” played by Owen Vaccaro, goes to live with his uncle Jonathan (Jack Black), who’s a warlock. Jonathan’s house, decorated in what’s best described as kitsch insanity, has a clock in its walls (duh), placed there by his former, now-dead magic partner Isaac (Kyle MacLachlan) for reasons that shall be revealed. In fact, the entire house is magical: There’s a chair that acts like a dog, a living topiary griffin and a bunch of creepy, creepy dolls. The film is lovely to look at, and it delivers a charming message in charming ways. The suspense is just enough to
be spooky without being scary (for kids over 8 or so), and there are moments of real emotional resonance AND poop jokes. It’s not just the dead parents that make Lewis stand out. He wears bow ties and blazers with shorts and accessorizes with a giant pair of goggles perched on his forehead in imitation of Captain Midnight, his favorite superhero. He also carries around a dictionary because he likes to learn new words. NERRRRRRRRRRD, is basically what I’m saying here. And now he’s interested in magic. In the fantastical world of the film, magic isn’t an ability that’s inherited; it’s a learned skill. Beyond the years of study, every witch and warlock then has to figure out what it is that makes her or his magic unique. You can read the incantations and move your
Jordan Peele to host “Twilight Zone” reboot on CBS All Access
arms about, but if you want the magic to work, it has to come from you. Magic is part education, part passion. You know, the way school should be. Lewis stumbles when he starts doing magic because he wants to do it “right” — but the world has taught him that he’s not “right.” Lewis thinks learning is a matter of sitting down, reading the assigned materials, filling out the bubbles, getting the grade. When he comes under Jonathan’s barely there tutelage (his uncle has only one rule, which Lewis breaks … because he’s 10), he’s not sure what to do with a teacher who tells him, sure, whatever, wear your welding goggles. It’s this freedom that gives Lewis a power that is uniquely his, that only he can wield. Most schoolkids in the real
STARS: Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Owen Vaccaro, Kyle MacLachlan
world will never find themselves facing down a dark wizard, because most schoolkids don’t go to Hogwarts. But “House With a Clock” offers lessons about the way kids are usually taught versus how they ought to be taught. Blame standardized testing, blame underfunded schools, blame a world that underpays and overworks teachers (I blame all of that AND MORE), but our current education system values structure and sameness, which means it produces people who value structure and sameness. And people like that don’t face down dark wizards. We need kids who can learn the playbook but also call an audible, who can look at what is and adapt to fit their strengths. We need more Jonathans — in and out of the classroom — who can set kids free and let them fail. We need fewer kids (and adults) who think that different is synonymous with wrong. And, most of all, we need more Lewises, kids who become comfortable enough to know that what makes them offbeat is what makes them strong. We need more weirdos.
IN A NUTSHELL: A 10-year-old moves into his uncle’s creaky old house with a mysterious tick-tocking heart.

‘Life Itself’ is a real letdown The ambitious drama from ‘This Is Us’ creator Dan Fogelman falls flat
‘Fahrenheit 11/9’ gets caught in a contradiction
AMAZON STUDIOS
FILM REVIEW How much of life is destiny, and how much of it is luck? That’s the question that “Life Itself” attempts to explore, by looking at life’s seemingly random, occasionally magical coincidences and their meaning — if there is any meaning. “Attempts” being the key word here. Writer-director Dan Fogelman (creator of “This Is Us,” the NBC series that makes people cry and look suspiciously at their CrockPots) interweaves stories about two families over multiple generations. Will and Abby (Oscar Isaac and Olivia Wilde) are a young New York couple who met in college and are now expecting their first child. Javier and Isabel (Sergio Peris-Mencheta and Laia Costa) are a Spanish couple just starting out together; they live in a caretaker’s cottage in Andalusia, where Javier oversees the land of a wealthy olive grower (Antonio Banderas). Repeatedly — and unknowingly — these two pairs are tied together, in a series of mostly tragic events. The film invites us to think about how historical events come together to create the people who are now living. Here’s an ancestor who escaped the Plague. There’s another one snatched from her homeland, a soldier who didn’t fall while those around him did. One little change in time, the
Despite a deep cast including, clockwise from top left, Olivia Wilde, Oscar Isaac, Laia Costa, Sergio PerisMencheta, Mandy Patinkin, Olivia Cooke, Antonio Banderas and Alex Monner, “Life Itself” misses the mark.
film suggests, and everything that comes after changes. It’s a lesson we all learned from “Back to the Future,” and clearly it intrigues Fogelman. The major problem with “Life Itself” is that the filmmaker doesn’t trust his audience to find that lesson as interesting as he does. Movies should invite viewers in, taking them on a journey together with the characters onscreen. Unfortunately, “Life Itself” is less journey than lecture. To make sure we get his points, Fogelman fills the script with impassioned, overlong speeches that communicate the Very Important Things he has to say.
‘Life Itself’ (R, 113 min.) DIRECTOR: Dan Fogelman STARS: Oscar Isaac, Olivia Wilde, Antonio Banderas, Olivia Cooke IN A NUTSHELL: The intertwined stories of two families in New York and Spain are told over multiple generations as various events affect their lives for years to come.
There are other problems: Every fall in love is instantaneous, every fall out of it devastating. Every man is passionate, every woman beautiful, smart and a little weird. (Note to lazy writers: “Quirky” is not a personality
trait.) For the most part, the actors do what they can with what they have been given, though Isaac is the only one who actually appears to age from scene to scene. Perhaps “This Is Us” fans will catch glimmers of the creative genius behind the Tuesday night juggernaut here. The rest of us are more likely to feel cheated by the film’s often outlandish coincidences, which Fogelman uses to keep making (and remaking) his point. In other words, your hard-earned entertainment budget might be better spent on an entirely different movie — maybe even one chosen entirely at random. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Bond gets an American invasion
“True Detective’s” Cary Joji Fukunaga is replacing Danny Boyle as director of the next James Bond movie, becoming the first American to helm an installment of the franchise, producers announced Thursday. The still-untitled 25th Bond movie will start filming March 4 in London and will be released Feb. 14, 2020. The film was pushed back from a November 2019 release after Boyle left the project last month. (AP)
Hulu confirms eight-episode “Veronica Mars” revival
Deadline: Allison Janney joins cast of Roger Ailes film
FILM REVIEW “Fahrenheit 11/9,” the latest documentary from provocateur Michael Moore, attempts nothing short of a magic act: turning despair into hope. That’s a tall order, in a film that starts out by posing a seemingly impossible question. After it presents a brief recap of election night 2016, we watch as the evening of Nov. 8 fades into the morning of Nov. 9 (the date referenced in the movie’s title, which is also a play on Moore’s 2004 film, “Fahrenheit 9/11”). As ecstasy turns to horror for Democratic voters, Moore asks, “How the f--- did this happen?” Although Moore cracks wise, narrating the film with a mix of outrage and humor, he’s dead serious about his central thesis. He presents Flint, Mich., as a microcosm of the country, using the city’s disillusionment with politics as usual — a direct result of the water crisis there — as an explanation for why Trump won. The filmmaker, who had long argued that Trump should not be written off, has made what feels, in some ways, like a dispiriting I-told-you-so. By the second half, the film is presenting such upstarts as New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Parkland survivor David Hogg as inspirations. But hope may be in short supply by the time that “Fahrenheit 11/9” has finished painting its portrait of an America in crisis. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The week’s best movie previews
‘Captain Marvel’
‘The Oath’
EXPECTED RELEASE: March 8
EXPECTED RELEASE: Oct. 19
SUMMARY: If you hadn’t heard that Marvel Studios’ first female-led film will be set in the ’90s, the sight of Brie Larson’s hero falling from space through the roof of a Blockbuster may tip you off. We also see superpowers, spaceships, a two-eyed Nick Fury and, wait, was that Captain Marvel punching an old lady in the face? OK! THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)
SUMMARY: Tiffany Haddish and writer-director Ike Barinholtz play a couple facing a politically charged family gathering when Americans are asked to sign a “patriot’s oath” the day after Thanksgiving. The black comedy tries to carve a relatable premise out of the current climate, though hopefully your family debates involve less profanity and gun violence. T.F.

@_ZEETS, tweeting about the reports that pop-rock band Maroon 5 will perform at the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show. The speculation, which has not been confirmed by the NFL, caused an uproar among music fans. Though many expressed negative views of the band, others were disappointed because no artists from Atlanta — such as Migos, Outkast or T.I. — were chosen.

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.

Ashton Kutcher accidentally hit someone with his car on Tuesday, E! News reported. The victim, 19-year-old Leo Marenghi, told E! that he was riding a scooter in Los Angeles when he was struck by a black Tesla.
