‘I just thought about Rich’ D.C. SPORTS In the moments before and after Cowboys kicker Brett Maher’s last-second field goal attempt doinked off the upright to preserve the Redskins’ wild win Sunday, the text messages to NBC Sports Washington reporter J.P. Finlay came fast and furious. “I hope RT can blow a big breath and miss.” “NO DOUBT Tandler pushed that ball to the post!!!!!” RT, of course, is longtime Redskins reporter Rich Tandler, who died unexpectedly Tuesday night at age 63. After the game, on the “Redskins Talk” podcast Tandler regularly co-hosted with Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey, Finlay attempted to sum up the climactic conclusion of an emotional game. “It just felt like, for it to end that way, they just weren’t going to lose on this day,” Finlay said. “And that had way more to do with the 53 men on the field, and the coaching staff, but in just some small way, it felt like …” “It felt apropos,” Tischler said,

finishing Finlay’s thought. Tandler, who joined NBC Sports Washington in 2011 and had covered the Redskins for various outlets for more than a decade, wasn’t far from anyone’s mind at FedEx Field on Sunday. Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan opened his postgame news conference by offering condolences to Tandler’s family members, many of whom watched the game from a suite as guests of the Redskins. Left tackle Trent Williams said he thought about Tandler when

“I definitely think he was with us today. I was so blessed to even have a guy like that around, and to be able to get to know him.” TRENT WILLIAMS, Redskins left tackle, saying how he thought about Rich Tandler during Sunday’s game

Maher’s miss clinched Washington’s second straight win. “To be honest with you man, when that ball hit the goal post, for some reason, I just thought about Rich,” Williams said, via The Athletic’s Tarik El-Bashir. “I know he enjoyed the seat he had today, not having to work, enjoying a good night of football.” In the fourth quarter, Preston Smith, one of Tandler’s favorite players, recovered a fumble for a touchdown that gave the Redskins a 20-10 lead. “I thought, ‘We have to win this for Rich,’ ” Smith told Finlay. “He’s a great guy. He always believed in us. He always believed in me.” The Redskins honored Tandler Sunday in a pregame moment of silence, and by placing flowers and a framed photograph at his vacant seat in the press box. A video tribute was played as well. At halftime, two hot dogs were placed in Tandler’s usual spot. The Redskins announced they were giving Tandler’s family a ceremonial game ball, and owner Daniel Snyder presented Tandler’s wife, Andi, with a framed “Tandler” jersey signed by the entire team.

Lesbian bars make a return

THE DISTRICT

Ex-teacher gets 11 years for sexually abusing kids

THE DISTRICT On the first night the lounge would open its doors to patrons under 21, a young woman scurried inside, eyes wide. Women gathered by the pool table, the couches, the bar. They were talking and laughing and swaying to the music, arms laced around each other’s waists. The 18-year-old had never seen anything like it. It was her first time at a lesbian bar. “I’ve never been to a queerwomen’s party before,” she told the lounge’s social director. “Just, thank you.” For two years, there was no dedicated space for moments like this in D.C. Now there are two. As summer drew to a close, two bars for lesbian, bisexual and queer-identified women opened: XX+ in Shaw and A League of Her Own in Adams Morgan. Though the number of people who identify as LGBTQ is on the rise, establishments that cater to them are going extinct. The new bars in D.C. are bucking a national trend simply by existing. But, their managers said, they hope to do more than that. Both want to re-establish a home base for the city’s LGBTQ community — where talking and building relationships are prized over getting drunk and dancing with strangers — and create a space where women and gender-nonconforming people can gather, free from judgment.

Lina Nicolai, co-owner of XX+ in D.C., hopes to succeed as lesbian bars are closing around the country.

But first, they must survive. “Lots of people mention, ‘You know, lesbian bars don’t succeed.’ And you know what? I know that,” said Lina Nicolai, co-owner of XX+. “I know that, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have one.” One of the last lesbian bars in the South may soon be pushed out of its home in Norfolk, Va. In many big cities — like San Francisco, Philadelphia, New Orleans — there are none left. “You don’t need a secret place to meet other queer people now. You can meet queer people in everyday life,” said Ty Ginter, a graduate student at the University of Maryland studying the historic preservation of queer history. “But there is something lost when you don’t have that

everyday interaction, that home base where people can just go and gather, and that’s what the community is realizing now.” Gay and lesbian bars have existed in D.C. since the early 1900s, with the first women-focused club opening in 1936, according to the Rainbow History Project. In the 1970s, D.C. boasted more than 50 bars catering to the LGBTQ community. It was in this environment that Phase One opened its doors in 1971 at Barracks Row. It remained there until closing in 2016. It wasn’t until more than two years later that A League of Her Own, or ALOHO, opened Aug. 9. ALOHO manager Jo McDaniel said she’s been surprised at how busy it’s been.

“I think it shows how much of a need there was in our community for a space like this,” she said. McDaniel and Nicolai said that although they opened around the same time, the two bars don’t see each other as competition. XX+ is more upscale, they said, while ALOHO has four TV screens showing sports — women’s soccer and the Mystics are prioritized over men’s events. “We have a joke that XX+ is where you go on date night and if it goes well, you come to ALOHO the next day and eat tater tots together in your comfy clothes,” McDaniel said. “Having two spaces that are so different just gives our community more options.” MARISSA J. LANG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

SNOW IN THE FORECAST?

Big storm may make its way to the region

A significant fall storm may form along the East Coast late this week as a cold front combines with the remnants of Category 4 Hurricane Willa, forecast to hit Mexico’s west coast today. It’s still a little early to know what will happen, but European models forecast highs of only 40 to 45 degrees in D.C. and Baltimore on Saturday, when substantial rain is possible. In this scenario, elevations above 2,000 feet in the Appalachians could see accumulating snow. (TWP)

Two new venues open in D.C. as others go out of business around U.S.

A man who admitted to sexually abusing seventh- and eighthgrade girls while working as a charter school math teacher in D.C. has been sentenced to nearly 12 years in prison. Prosecutors say Robert Leach, 33, of Silver Spring, groomed and abused the children between 2010 and 2013 until he was caught by a parent and fled the country. Leach later taught in the United Arab Emirates, got married and had a child. He was caught in 2015 in the United Kingdom and extradited to the U.S., where he pleaded guilty in June to child sexual abuse. (AP) MANASSAS, VA.

Teen accused of making threats to two schools A 15-year-old high school student is in police custody and facing criminal charges Monday after allegedly making online threats against two schools in Northern Virginia, authorities said. According to Manassas police, the threats were made on Instagram against Osbourn High and Baldwin Elementary schools. Officials said that the threats were found to be “not credible” and that the suspect “did not have the means to carry out the threat,” according to a statement. The boy faces charges of threats to commit serious bodily harm to people on school property. (TWP) VIRGINIA

vestibule and began kicking a second door opening to the lobby, the surveillance video shows. After several kicks, he was able to pull down the plexiglass from the second door, and he then climbed through the door and into the lobby of the longtime WTTG offices at 5151 Wisconsin Ave. NW. A security guard then fired once and hit the man in the upper torso, Gresham said. The man was unarmed. Two officials familiar with the investigation said the man was a 37-year-old District resident.

Rethinking D.C.’s buses METROBUS For decades, the region’s bus network, a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of residents, took a back seat to Metro and its growth, funding and safety problems. Now, in the face of declining ridership, steep competition from other modes of transportation and shifting travel patterns, the spotlight is back on the bus. In the next year, the region will come together to sketch out a plan for improving bus service — making riding more attractive to those who don’t use it and more efficient for loyal riders who depend on it to get around, many of them lower-income and minority. Metro is leading the effort with its Bus Transformation Project, a process bringing together service providers, experts and advocates in developing a vision for the region’s bus network. Some officials say they have high hopes the process will lead to a transformation of the system. Others are more skeptical of the region’s ability to embrace such transformative change. Several comprehensive studies in the past two decades have recommended changes for improving service, such as dedicated bus lanes, only to be shelved. “We first need to figure out what is the vision for the bus,”

Regional officials and Metro hope to improve area bus service as ridership continues to fall.

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS (AP)

After taking a back seat to Metrorail, bus system is due to be reworked

said Robert Puentes, president and chief executive of the Eno Center for Transportation. “Once we figure that out, then we can start to think about improvements we can make to existing service.” A business group last month called for route overhauls and a regionwide system of bus lanes. Regional transportation boards are discussing strategies for making the bus a more attractive option for single-car commuters. At a minimum, some advocates say, the region must have better integration of the various bus systems in terms of fare

and route structures to make transfers between systems seamless. Ideally, there would be a robust network of bus lanes, frequent service 24/7, all-door entry and an electronic payment system. Cities from Baltimore to Richmond to Houston have done sweeping overhauls of their bus systems to speed service and realign downtown-focused routes into networks that better serve neighborhoods. Houston’s system underwent an ambitious overhaul in 2015, transforming from one focused on downtown to a grid that apportioned equal

service to other parts of the city. The changes helped turn a ridership slide into significant gains. Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld has expressed support for such an approach, hinting last year at the idea of a complete redesign of the Metrobus system. Some advocates and transportation officials say they expect Metro’s Bus Transformation Project to be a guide for such an overhaul. It will be difficult however, because bus service in the region is provided by as many as a dozen transit agencies, in addition to Metrobus. The multi-jurisdictional nature of the region also complicates any kind of regional approach. There are some encouraging signs of improvement, however, said Stewart Schwartz, executive director of the Coalition for Smarter Growth. Montgomery County is pushing forward with a Bus Rapid Transit system on Route 29 and studying one for Route 355. Metro is testing cashfree payment on some buses to speed service on some routes, and the District is moving forward a plan for a bus lane along 16th Street NW, one of the busiest bus corridors in the region. Still, more is needed, advocates say. For starters, the District stands out as a major Northeast city that does not have a dedicated bus lane network downtown. “The region needs to be bolder,” Schwartz said.

PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE SAFETY

D.C. may do away with ’Right on Red’

D.C. officials are considering doing away with allowing drivers to turn right when stopped at a red light in order to improve pedestrian and bike safety, NBC4 reported. The “No Right on Red” rule would be implemented in D.C.’s downtown business district as well as school zones and other areas that are deemed high-risk, officials told NBC4. Greg Billing, head of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association, told the station, “I think that the mayor has finally heard the calls from the public that we are at a crisis for traffic safety.” (EXPRESS)

$2 can buy big dreams With the Mega Millions lottery jackpot at a record $1.6 billion, people are snapping up tickets across the U.S. The Powerball jackpot has also climbed. It’s up to an estimated $620 million for Wednesday’s drawing. That would make it the fifth-largest jackpot in U.S. history. But much of the focus has been on today’s Mega Millions drawing and what would be the largest jackpot prize in U.S. history. From San Diego to New York, people are dreaming of how they would spend the money should they beat the astronomical odds of winning. (AP)

Hopeful people line up Friday at the Bluebird Liquor store in Torrance, Calif., to purchase lottery tickets.

White, a housekeeper, initially said Sunday as she bought her tickets at a gas station that her first order of business would be to pay off bills and student loans, then buy herself a house and car. But she quickly reconsidered. “Well, first I’m going to give something back to charity. That’s what I’m going to do. I am. I’m going to give back to charity and then I’m going to splurge. Put up college funds for my kids and just set myself up for the rest of my life.”

The roofer and restaurant dishwasher said he dreams of buying a house for his mother in his native Guatemala. Then he would give money to each of his five sisters — also in Guatemala — to spend however they like. His five brothers would get nothing, he added. He’d also buy a house and replace his old pickup with a new one in his preferred color, red. He would also travel. Topping his list are Paris, Spain, the ruins in Machu Picchu, Peru, and, of course, Guatemala.

At the Exxon store where she works, Newsom said nearly everyone who comes in is buying a Mega Millions ticket — including herself. Asked what she would do if she won, she said, “I would split it with my co-workers. We’re going to retire from here. And then I’d go to the Bahamas.” Beyond giving some to her co-workers, she said she would “invest in something, to keep the money rolling in. ... You gotta think with it.”

In New York City’s financial district, Ramirez said he would retire from at least one of his jobs. He works as a school maintenance worker and short-order cook. “I’d spend it carefully. I’d be prepared before I cash in, go see a financial adviser,” he said, adding that he would invest the money. “I’ve got two jobs. I’d retire from one, maybe two.” Also, he said, “I would donate some money to charity, think about the homeless, people with less than me.”

At a downtown 7-Eleven on Saturday, Harrell, who works in finance, bought 10 tickets for Powerball and 10 for Mega Millions. He said he and his wife have talked about what they’d do if they won, and she said she’d keep working. “So she probably wouldn’t want me to quit my job,” he said. He also said he might set up a trust fund for his two children. “We wouldn’t sweat the small stuff anymore. Nothing crazy, but who knows.”

Her family had a discussion about what they would do with all that money before getting a ticket and some pizza at an Omaha convenience store. “Other than paying off bills and taking care of family, I think I’d have the most fun going around and doing surprise good deeds for people. … And I’m sure we’d take some pretty awesome vacations while we were going around doing our surprise good deeds.”

Stopping at Kings Beer & Wine — which is an upscale convenience store and beer bar in Arizona — he bought seven Mega Millions tickets while his family waited in the car outside. Masterson, who is a scientist, paused when he was asked what he would do with the money if one of his tickets happened to be the big winner. After looking at the wide variety of lagers and ales on the shelves, he said, “I’d buy a brewery.”

The lifelong New Yorker said he plays the lottery “anytime it’s big,” even though he has never won anything. “I’m still gonna do it. It doesn’t matter what the odds are. You got to be in it to win it, and if you don’t try you won’t succeed,” Howard said while at a 7-Eleven in Brooklyn. As for his plans with the money: “Move out of New York. Take care of my mother and my kids and my wife. That’s it. Save the rest. Nobody won’t know I won.”

Why worse odds make lotteries more appealing

Africa’s oldest president, Cameroon’s Paul Biya, 85, wins 7th term after court rejects legal challenges to election

LOTTERY If it seems like lottery jackpots are getting much larger, it’s because they are getting much larger. Tonight’s Mega Millions estimated grand prize has reached a staggering $1.6 billion. It will be the largest lottery prize in U.S. history when someone finally hits it, and it will join five other top 10 drawings in the past three years. Lottery officials have made it harder to win a jackpot, which in turn increased the opportunity for top prizes to skyrocket. The theory was that bigger jackpots would draw more attention, spurring sales, boosting prizes, which draws attention, spurring sales … you get the idea. In October 2015, Powerball changed the odds of winning the jackpot from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 292.2 million. Mega Millions made a similar move in October 2017, increasing the odds from 1 in 259 million to 1 in 302.5 million. States have generally reported increased Mega Millions and Powerball sales since the change. But the booming jackpots have also left them more dependent on those massive payouts, because prizes that once seemed so immense now seem almost puny. Cornelius Nelan, a math professor at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, notes the odds are about the same as rolling a die and getting a one 11 times in a row. SCOTT MCFETRIDGE (AP)

Visit to Saudi Arabia comes despite outcry over Khashoggi’s killing Steven Mnuchin met Monday with Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman.

Mnuchin last week announced he was withdrawing from a conference in Saudi Arabia this week, amid the international backlash following the killing of Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Khashoggi died at the Saudi Consulate in Turkey earlier this month, though the Saudi Arabian government has given conflicting reports on how he died. Tony Sayegh, Mnuchin’s top

spokesman, said the two men discussed the Khashoggi investigation, the implementation of sanctions against Iran, the Saudi economy and combating the financing of terrorism. Still, Treasury was reluctant to comment on the meeting, which had not been previewed in advance. Also on Monday, CIA Director Gina Haspel departed for Turkey, according to people familiar with the matter.

The visit by the U.S. spy chief comes as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a speech planned for today vows to reveal the full extent of what his aides are calling a Saudi-directed murder and attempted cover-up. The arrival of the director suggests an effort by the U.S. intelligence community to assess the information the Turks have, including what Turkish officials have said is audio that captures the killing. On Monday, President Trump told reporters, “I am not satisfied with what I’ve heard” from Saudi Arabia. “We have top intelligence people in Turkey. We’re going to see what we have. I’ll know a lot tomorrow,” the president said.

MEXICO A potentially catastrophic Hurricane Willa swept toward Mexico’s Pacific coast with winds of 155 mph Monday, threatening a stretch of high-rise resort hotels, surfing beaches and fishing villages. After briefly reaching Category 5 strength, the storm’s maximum sustained winds weakened slightly to Category 4 at midafternoon. But it remained “extremely dangerous” and was expected to bring “life-threatening storm surge, wind and rainfall” to parts of west-central and southwestern Mexico ahead of an expected Tuesday landfall, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Hotels started taping up their windows, and officials began evacuating thousands of people. The hurricane was expected to pass over or near the Islas Marias — a set of islands about 60 miles offshore — early today. Forecasters said Willa would then blow ashore in the afternoon or evening along a 140-mile stretch extending from the resort town of Mazatlan to San Blas. It was projected to weaken somewhat before hitting land but was still expected to be extremely dangerous. The states of Sinaloa and Nayarit ordered schools along the coast to close and prepared shelters. The U.S. National Hurricane Center warned that Willa could bring 6 to 12 inches of rain to some areas. MARIA VERZA (AP)

Protesters gather Monday at the White House to decry a proposed rule that would roll back transgender rights.

Proposed gender rule infuriates LGBT groups Critics: Change would deny federal protection to transgender people POLITICS LGBT leaders across the U.S. reacted with fury Monday to a report that the Trump administration is considering a new definition of gender that would effectively deny federal recognition and civil rights protections to transgender Americans. “I feel very threatened, but I am absolutely resolute,” Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, said at a news conference convened by more than a dozen activist leaders. “We will stand up and be resilient, and we will be here long

after this administration is in the trash heap.” On Sunday, The New York Times reported that the Department of Health and Human Services was circulating a memo proposing that gender be defined as an immutable biological condition determined by a person’s sex organs at birth. Any dispute about one’s sex would have to be clarified through genetic testing, according to The Times’ account. President Trump briefly addressed the latest controversy as he left the White House for a political trip to Houston, but left unclear how his administration plans to proceed. “We have a lot of different concepts right now,” Trump said. “They have a lot of different things happening with respect

to transgender right now — you know that as well as I do — and we’re looking at it very seriously.” He added: “I’m protecting everybody.” The department said Monday it would not comment on “alleged leaked documents.” LGBT activists pledged legal challenges if the reported memo leads to official policy. UCLA legal scholar Jocelyn Samuels, who ran the HHS civil rights office in the Obama administration, said the Trump administration would be going beyond established law if it adopted the policy in the memo. “What they are saying is you do not get to decide your sex; it is the government that will decide your sex,” Samuels said.

WASHINGTONPOST.COM TO YOUR HEALTH

Fertility decline leads to blame, finger-pointing As new data about the country’s collapsing fertility rates have emerged, concern has deepened over what’s causing the changes. Women are now having fewer babies and at older ages than in the past three decades, a change that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics reported this year, and which was confirmed last week. The CDC said last Wednesday that the total fertility rate — a theoretical figure that estimates the number of births a woman will have in her lifetime — fell by 18 percent from 2007 to 2017 in large metropolitan areas, 16 percent in smaller metro areas and 12 percent in rural areas. Many agree that cultural shifts, such as women getting married later, play a big role. But there’s considerable debate about other possible causes. Economist Lyman Stone has blamed the United States’ less-than-generous parental leave and pay policies. Human Life International, a missionary group, blames “pro-abortion population control groups like Planned Parenthood.” Some have even wondered whether the decline might be influenced by sperm quality. Recent medical journal publications have indicated that exposure to pollutants might be harming reproductive health, including the motility and quantity of sperm. ARIANA EUNJUNG CHA

WWII hero dies at 99, led daring raid on Nazi factory

A Croatian court on Monday sentenced former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader to 2 ½ years in prison for war profiteering following his retrial in the high-profile corruption case. The County Court of Zagreb, the capital, ruled that Sanader also must return about a half-million euros ($570,000) in kickbacks he took in a deal with Austria’s Hypo Bank in the 1990s. The court said Sanader, who was deputy foreign minister at the time, was guilty of war profiteering because he acted for his own benefit rather than Croatia’s during its 1992-95 war. Sanader went on to serve as prime minister from 2003 to 2009. (AP)

British Prime Minister Theresa May sought to quell a growing rebellion against her Brexit plans Monday, saying a divorce deal with the European Union is 95 percent complete and urging fellow lawmakers to “hold our nerve” during the last push in negotiations. May told the House of Commons that “the vast majority” of issues had been settled with “one real sticking point left” — the border between the U.K.’s Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland. May’s own party is bothered by a plan where Britain could remain bound by the bloc’s rules for a transition period after it leaves on March 29. (AP)

A soldier from the U.S.-led military coalition in Afghanistan was killed Monday and two others were injured in an apparent insider attack by a member of the Afghan security forces, U.S. military officials there said. The victims were not immediately identified, and no other details of the incident were released. There were reports of an attack in the Shindand region of western Herat province, killing one. A Pentagon spokesman, Army Col. Robert Manning III, said that the fatality in Herat was not an American. He declined to say whether any of the wounded were U.S. troops. (AP)

Is it safe to believe the Redskins are really playoff contenders? Washington’s only 4-2, but it holds a whopping 1½-game lead over defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia and Dallas in a wide-open NFC East. The toughest part of the Redskins’ schedule is over and an emerging defense has helped make up for injuries that have weakened the offense. The Redskins appear good enough to win the NFC East. That’s a long way from winning a Super Bowl, but at least it appears it won’t be another grueling fall that’s followed by an offseason filled with change. Washington is far from

pretty. The offense is limited. Quarterback Alex Smith has about a one-in-three shot of connecting on a long pass. He ran out of bounds in the waning moments against Dallas on Sunday to stop the clock, a mortal sin that almost cost the Redskins the victory. The receiving corps is held together by duct tape. The lone spark on offense has been running back Adrian Peterson, who is making an improbable final bow at age 33. Even coach Jay Gruden’s play-calling often invites second-guessing. Throwing a failed Hail Mary at the end the first half instead of letting kicker Dustin Hopkins try a 57-yard field goal was certainly questionable. The Hail Mary had a virtually zero chance of success, while

Jaguars sticking with QB Blake Bortles as starter despite benching

Hopkins has made 46.7 percent of his field goals from 50-plus yards in his career. Mostly, the Redskins have shifted to a ball-control offense after three years of being a pass-first unit. It’s ugly to watch, but effective. With so many shortcomings, it’s hard to believe the Redskins may have their first winning season and division title since 2015. But, like in 2015, the division is awfully weak. A 9-7 mark might win the NFC East this year. It’s a fool’s gold feeling, but at least FedEx Field won’t be one-third empty with nearly equal amounts of opposing fans as Redskins supporters. At least the team won’t be a joke — which it’s been too often since Washington’s last Super Bowl title in 1991.

The Redskins have shifted to a ballcontrol offense after three years of being a pass-first unit. It’s ugly to watch, but effective.

If the Redskins need to become a grind-it offense that doesn’t turn the ball over and wins low-scoring games — while the rest of the NFL seems locked in to shootouts — then so be it. Defense wins titles more often anyway. And two straight years of drafting defensive linemen in the first round has produced the “Alabama Wall,” with Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen fixing what was the worst run defense in the league last season. Maybe the bad luck that has long plagued the Redskins is gone this season. Dallas hitting the upright on the game-tying field goal attempt as time expired was rather fortunate. In past years, that ball certainly would have gone through and Washington would have ended up losing in overtime. One week earlier, the Panthers came up short in their late comeback attempt against the Redskins as well. Better lucky than good? Maybe this year the Redskins are both.

The Cowboys traded a first-round pick for Oakland receiver Amari Cooper in Raiders coach Jon Gruden’s latest play for the future. The Cowboys gave up their top pick in the next draft in hopes of giving QB Dak Prescott another weapon just a few months after releasing franchise TD catch leader Dez Bryant in a cost-cutting move. Dallas (3-4) receivers haven’t made many big plays in their first season without Bryant and retired tight end Jason Witten, the club leader in catches. The Raiders (1-5) figure to have a good shot at the No. 1 overall pick in 2019, and now have three first-rounders with the Cooper trade and the preseason deal that sent pass rusher Khalil Mack to Chicago.

fit fit The New Age shamans WELLNESS Twenty souls sprawled on the floor of the hotel wellness spa, swaddled in blankets. Their eyes were closed. A jellybean-sized crystal rested on each forehead. Shhwwwoo! That was Deborah Hanekamp, audibly sucking up the air as she placed her hands on one of the young women. Hanekamp, who’s in her late 30s, is a modern shaman, the preferred healer of New York’s fashion crowd at her practice Mama Medicine — though on this day she was chanting for an audience on Washington’s K Street. She’d come to give a “medicine reading,” a ceremony that at various points had her shaking a rattle and letting loose a musical wail, spraying strange, fragrant concoctions into the air and stalking the room with a leafy branch, which she rhythmically tapped on the supine bodies below. Wellness, the 2018 Edition, certainly seems to be catapulting us further into the astral plane. Like the seekers of the 1960s and ’70s, a new generation of self-care devotees is taking up ceremonial sage burnings, singing bowls, Japanese reiki, crystals, Mayan sweat lodges and ayurvedic massages. And the spiritually lost are seeking face time with shamans — in the case of Hanekamp’s clients, paying $325 an hour for the privilege.

Deborah Hanekamp, owner of Mama Medicine in New York, performs what she calls a medicine reading at D.C.’s new Eaton Workshop hotel.

“There’s a more inner, profound searching that I’m seeing in myself and a lot of people around me,” says Katherine Lo, the millennial executive behind Eaton Workshop, the new hotel/ club/workspace hybrid in downtown Washington that hosted Hanekamp’s ceremony. Lo’s personal mid-20s emotional fugue took her to a Zen monastery, a famed Big Sur retreat and, finally, to a shamanic workshop in Arizona. There, she says, she was induced into a trance by drumming. “You learn on one level to just connect to nature and start to receive messages from nature,” she says. For most of us, “shaman” may

evoke images of headdresses and nights in forests. But there’s no one kind of shaman. Shamans have existed in many forms around the world for centuries. What they have in common, says Susan Mokelke, president of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies in Mill Valley, Calif., is an ability to converse with spirits. “Shamans alter their state of consciousness,” she says. Whether they do that with drugs or with a steady beat of a drum, they aim to journey mentally into the depths of another realm. But the shamans of this resurrected New Age have broadened their services. In Miami, the spa at the Faena Hotel enlisted

One of her market niches: scrubbing bad energies from their wardrobes. It all started one night a decade ago, she says, when she was trying to get a 2 a.m. sandwich at a New York bodega. She was struck by a clairvoyant vision — a voice, really, that warned her of a fight that was about to occur over the price of the bananas. What followed was a long string of coincidences, strange encounters and psychic consultations, somehow culminating in her enrollment in shaman school. McCann compares herself to social media trendsetters, who can sway followers’ purchases, clothing choices and more. Her spin just happens to be one part Old World, and one part Instagram.

A new study from the University of British Columbia suggests that the obstacle standing in the way of people getting active isn’t their lack of motivation, time or energy. It’s their brains. Researchers set out to determine why people who want to exercise regularly still struggle to follow through. They observed the brain function of 29 participants using an electroencephalogram (EEG), which records electrical activity. They found the brain is conditioned to choose the route that requires the least energy. When you contemplate physical activity, your brain has to work harder to counteract the urge to stay sedentary, according to the study, published in Neuropsychologia. Author Matthieu Boisgontier says this likely comes from an evolutionary adaptation favoring energy conservation.

I live across the country and don’t want to be involved, but I feel like they’ll be angry at me if I stay out of it.

Strange but true.

Let’s be clear: If they choose to fault you for not jumping into some secondhand-story melee from across the country, then that is on them, not on you. Start with a respectful but firm conversation about how you are choosing to stay out of it. That is not to say you can’t be helpful; indeed, you should be encouraging them to hone their own respectful-communication skills, to take a breath and start

holding grudges. Several people have told me that I carry things for a long time and that I have a hard time “letting go.” My boyfriend says it is exhausting. I really don’t want to be like this, but I also feel like when someone hurts me, they need to really make it right or I won’t get over it. So part of me doesn’t think this is my fault. But I do want to work on it. Wanting to work on it is what matters here, and that’s impressive. It’s understandable that you can’t necessarily see how the grudges that you hold — which clearly feel like valid reactions to you on some level, or you wouldn’t be holding them — may be dysfunctional after all. It’s likely that this is a pattern that stems from some sort of deficit that goes back quite a while: feeling unduly blamed, or like you don’t get what you deserve, or that people don’t meet your standards. Or maybe you have some long-standing slights that have bruised you in ways that haven’t quite healed. Grudges can also stem from the negative mindset that often accompanies anxiety or depression.

Is ‘A Star Is Born’s’ pop music bad? MUSIC It’s a debate that has divided the internet: Is the pop music in “A Star Is Born” good or bad? In the film, troubled altcountry singer Jackson Maine (played by Bradley Cooper, the film’s director) takes issue with the pop-heavy offerings of his love interest, Ally (Lady Gaga), who has skyrocketed to fame. Jack is particularly bothered by “Why Did You Do That?” The

candy-coated earworm begins with Ally asking, “Why do you look so good in those jeans?” Paul Blair, who goes by the moniker DJ White Shadow, helped write and produce six songs featured on the film’s chart-topping soundtrack, including the schismatic “Why Did You Do That?” He says the song, which also counts pop hitmaker Diane Warren and Gaga herself among its writers, was not — as some have suggested — intended to be bad. Ally performs the song on “Saturday Night Live” as her career is taking off. As a result, it had to be “more bubbly and

mainstream,” Blair says. “It doesn’t matter what the song was. It doesn’t matter what she wrote — it would have sucked to him,” he adds. “He’s upset that she’s killing it and he’s not killing it anymore.” Gaga was deeply involved in the process, which Blair says

has been typical of the singersongwriter on the songs they have collaborated on. “For her songs as Ally, we kind of wrote them in a bubble,” Blair says, “just to keep the ideas genuine to the way it played out on screen.” BETHONIE BUTLER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

PLAN AHEAD.

BOOK REVIEW Tina Turner’s second memoir, following 1986’s “I, Tina,” is filled with the lessons that can only be delivered by someone who has been around the block a few times and lived to tell about it. The first lesson is: Run from snakes. Born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tenn., in 1939, the country girl who would become a rhythm and blues icon learned early that when a snake reared its head, it was time to skedaddle. “Something always told me when to run,” Tina says in a prologue to “My Love Story,” which was released last week. Readers, though, will sometimes wish she’d listened to that voice more. Because hovering over this book is the outsize figure of the late Ike Turner, also a seminal musician, yet best known for having married, managed and nearly killed his more famous wife. That brings us to the second lesson of “My Love Story,” which

is to pay attention. Tina looks for her opportunity to escape, and when Ike falls asleep, exhausted after yet another beating, she runs out of their hotel and seeks refuge in a Ramada Inn, filthy and blood-spattered. From there, “My Love Story” stops being a tell-all and becomes a DIY guide to successful branding. There’s actually not a lot about music here. In her telling, Tina’s contribution to rock and soul is a combination of the strength of her personality and a vocal power to match. The last few chapters of “My Love Story” will remind you why you should never ask an older person how they’re doing. Tina, 78, describes her dialysis and eventual kidney transplant in as much detail as she devotes to her wedding to Erwin Bach, whose quiet devotion makes him the anti-Ike of the tale. Oh, and the last page is an organ donor form. Once again, Tina leaves nothing to chance. DAVID KIRBY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

“Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Beyond that, they’re also human beings worthy of respect, dignity and legal protection, as are we all.” @JENASHLEYWRIGHT, tweeting about a Trump administration proposal that would define gender as “a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth,” as described by The New York Times. The proposal would effectively erase federal recognition of those who identify as transgender, and has been slammed by activists and community members.

Sudoku

MEDIUM

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone may be trying to stonewall you, but you know how to circumvent attempts to keep you from the truth. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re nearing the point of no return where a certain relationship is concerned. Are you willing to make a commitment? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are able to do more today than usual simply because each thing you have to tackle is minor — but they all add up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll have many errands to run today, and it’s best to consolidate where you can. You needn’t go the long way around. MONDAY’S SOLUTION

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Someone may claim that you have not been where you said you would be or doing what you said you would do. You can prove this to be false.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can finally make progress with a project that has been stalled for too long. A partner unlocks a troubling mystery. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Feel free to shower a loved one with all manner of appreciation today. He or she will reciprocate, surely. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It’s a good day to pursue satisfaction from someone who has been far from home. He or she needn’t be next door to give you what you need.

Forecast By Capital Weather Gang

POOCH CAFE | PAUL GILLIGAN

65 | 46 TODAY: This arguably will be the week’s nicest day. We’ll have a good deal of sunshine, and highs will reach the low-to-mid 60s, which is close to the average of 65. Some high clouds are likely to increase in the afternoon as a front approaches. A cold front sweeps through the area tonight but lacks moisture, so no rain is expected.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You

don’t want to find that you’re sitting around wasting time today; keep moving and keep looking ahead to the next thing that must be done. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The view from where you are today pleases you in many ways — but you may spy, at one point, something that gives you pause. Examine it closely.
