Grandparents foster success THE DISTRICT Cynthia Brown-Thomas’ job requires her to rise before the sun. It pays a meager stipend of $2.65 an hour. An exhausting display of patience is a must. She credits the job with saving her life. The 64-year-old retiree, who has survived two heart surgeries, is one of more than 200 D.C. seniors from lowincome households working as classroom grandparents in the city’s schools. Four years after BrownThomas became a foster grandparent, the refrigerator in her one-bedroom apartment is adorned with a drawing from a boy in one of her classes. She is pursuing credentials to work in early-childhood education and has learned education techniques that she can pass to her own grandchildren. Brown-Thomas, who retired from local government, works with first- and second-graders at Wheatley Education Campus — an elementary and middle school in the same Northeast

Helping D.C. children in mentoring program fills retirees with ‘joy’
Second-grader Koran Bright whispers into the ear of Cynthia BrownThomas, a foster grandparent, at Wheatley Education Campus in D.C.
Washington neighborhood where she has lived her entire life. She arrives at school about 8 a.m. wearing her blue Foster Grandparent apron. Some of the children hug her, others whisper secrets in her ear. “How are you doing today, Grandma?” the children ask during a morning greeting activity. “I’m a 10,” Brown-Thomas said. “Because I get to be here with all you children.” Born out of the 1964 federal War on Poverty legislation, the
“When I walk through the hall and the kids run up to me and call me grandma, it’s a big balloon of joy.” CASSANDRA REID, a foster grandparent, saying working with schoolchildren has reinvigorated her. She loves running around on the playground with the preschoolers she’s assigned to.
Foster Grandparent Program aims to give seniors across the country a purpose in retirement by providing some of the neediest children with mentors and giving teachers help in the classroom. Grandparents, who range from 55 to 93 years old, are assigned to schools or day care centers — and a few to children’s hospitals — in their communities so that they have the potential to run into their students at the corner store. Shenora Plenty, principal at Wheatley Education Campus, said the five grandparents at her school are critical to its success. Her only wish: that there were more of them. Wheatley posted gains in the latest batch of standardized tests that students take, and Plenty said the grandparents played a role. When the students do individual work, the grandparents wander the classroom, helping students write their names and draw shapes. “They literally are grandparents, so they assume that role when they walk into the classroom,” Plenty said. “It really reminds the children of their grandparents.” PERRY STEIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Census: Not many D.C. kids to trick-or-treat Residents in the District have a lower chance of having trick-or-treaters stop by tonight than those in the 50 states. Using data from the U.S. Census, The Associated Press reports that only 1 in 11 D.C. residents are of trickor-treating age, defined by the census as from 5 to 14 years old. Utah has the highest share of trickor-treaters, with about 1 in 6 residents of the state falling in that age range. The census estimates there are potentially 41.1 million trick-or-treaters across the nation and about 120 million homes from which to score candy. (AP)

D.C. General officially closed
STAFFORD COUNTY, VA.
Police: Man hits 10 cars before hiding on roof
THE DISTRICT Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday officially closed D.C. General, a former hospital that had been used as a mega shelter for homeless families since 2001. A warehouse of the city’s destitute and forgotten at the east end of Capitol Hill, D.C. General became notorious after the 2014 disappearance of 8-year-old Relisha Rudd from the shelter. Residents and their advocates had long complained about poor living conditions and safety concerns for the city’s most vulnerable children, but Rudd’s disappearance brought widespread attention. The closure marked delivery on a campaign pledge Bowser had made when she first ran for office in 2014. She vowed to shutter D.C. General and replace it with a network of seven smaller shelters spread across the city that she said would be more dignified and humane. “We embarked four years ago on closing D.C. General. We all believed it was too big, too rundown, too isolated to serve families who need emergency shelter,” said Bowser, who watched an official bolt the door to the main entrance of the hospital. “Now the last family has moved out of the facility.” At its peak, the D.C. General shelter housed as many as 250 families — about 1,000 people — but it stopped accepting new

General, according to data kept by the Department of Human Services. More than half of them found new apartments using temporary one-year vouchers from the city, 33 were placed in other shelters and nine were terminated from receiving city assistance for rule violations. Two of the seven replacement shelters that make up the mayor’s plan opened in the last month, in Wards 4 and 7. The Ward 8 shelter is expected to open next month after construction delays.

We have endured lawsuits that we have won, that we’ve been successful in. … We as a city have said we don’t want to lose another child.

Metro announces move to L’Enfant
After nearly five decades in Judiciary Square, Metro will move its headquarters to L’Enfant Plaza and set up shop in a soon-to-be-renovated office building. That building, at 300 Seventh Street SW, is a vacant office structure. If the Metro board approves the purchase, it would take about two years for design and construction before the majority of the transit agency’s 1,300 office employees could move in. Metro’s existing headquarters is expected to be put up for sale in spring. (TWP)

Black voters warm up to Republican Hogan Support for governor has doubled among African-Americans MARYLAND As a lifelong Democrat, Jay Hopkins says he expects to vote for Maryland gubernatorial nominee Ben Jealous even as he struggles to identify a compelling reason beyond party loyalty. Yet Hopkins, an African-American cook who lives in Baltimore, voices no shortage of praise for Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, ticking off the incumbent’s efforts to reduce taxes and tolls and his decision to dispatch federal troops to restore order during the city’s 2015 riots. “Hogan turned out to be a pretty fair man,” Hopkins, 67, said. In fact, Hopkins said, he’s satisfied enough with Hogan he can envision crossing party lines for the first time to vote for him. “The only thing I dislike about Hogan is that he’s a Republican,” Hopkins said. “If Jealous says anything stupid before the election — anything! — then I’m voting for Hogan.” Like the national party, Maryland Democrats have long relied on African-Americans to turn out in large numbers for their candidates. But Hogan’s black support has more than doubled since his first campaign for governor in 2014, from 14 percent to 33 percent, according to a Washington

Gov. Larry Hogan meets supporters Warren Williams, left, and Gary Priest, center, both Democrats, during a rally this month in Gaithersburg, Md.
Post-University of Maryland poll earlier this month. A survey by Morgan State University released last week echoed the finding. Jealous garnered support from 57 percent of black voters in the Post-U-Md. poll, far lower than the 97 percent of black voters in Maryland who backed Barack Obama in 2012. Hogan’s job approval among blacks nearly doubled, reaching 60 percent, while disapproval remained at 22 percent, little changed since his first month in office. Still, Hogan’s identity as a Republican renders him unacceptable to many black Democrats, including Joseph Weeks, 31, a Baltimore bartender who
dismissed the governor as aligned with developers gentrifying the city. “It’s scary to support a Republican in this day and age,” Weeks said. As she ate lunch at a Wegmans in Prince George’s County, management analyst Sharlonda Smith, 47, said she crossed party lines in 2014 to vote for Hogan because he promised tax cuts. But she won’t vote for Hogan’s re-election because of President Trump. “It’s not always about voting with your party, but right now it is,” she said. “A Republican right now — I just can’t do it.” PAUL SCHWARTZMAN AND OVETTA WIGGINS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Mislaid artifacts: NASA losing its relics on earth NASA is a special place. It sends astronauts into space with remarkable precision, boosts our knowledge of the universe and regularly ranks at the top of surveys tracking federal employee engagement and morale. So why can’t the agency that documents the stars and the planets keep better track of its
goods on earth? A new report from the agency’s Office of Inspector General says that despite decades of improvements, “a significant amount of historic personal property has been lost, misplaced, or taken by former employees and contractors due to the Agency’s lack of adequate procedures.” In 2014, a lunar rover vehicle prototype was found in a Blountsville, Ala., residential
neighborhood. The owner was willing to return it to NASA, but “after waiting more than 4 months for a decision from NASA, the individual sold the rover to a scrap yard. NASA officials subsequently offered to buy the rover, but the scrap yard owner refused and, realizing the historical value of the rover, sold the vehicle at auction for an undisclosed sum.” The report also said “poor record keeping contributed to NASA losing possession of an Apollo 11 lunar collection bag that contained lunar dust particles.” Authorities retrieved the bag in 2013 and the U.S. Marshals Service sold it to a private citizen in 2015

for $995. After one arm of the government sold the moon bag, another arm, NASA, sued to get the bag back but lost. In July 2017, the bag was auctioned for $1.8 million.
NASA’s “failure to appropriately preserve or account” for its stuff, the report said, could lead to the loss of objects “with great historical value to NASA and the country.” NASA, however, has shown “reluctance at times to assert an ownership claim over the items.” If NASA’s sloppiness continues, the inspector general had a warning: “Until NASA improves its processes, the Agency’s approach to recovering significant items from its past will continue in a haphazard, inefficient, and ultimately unsuccessful manner.” Follow Joe Davidson on Twitter @joedavidsonWP

Gangster Bulger dead at 89 CRIME James “Whitey” Bulger, the murderous Boston gangster who benefited from a corrupt relationship with the FBI before spending 16 years as one of America’s most wanted men, was found dead in his cell in a federal prison Tuesday. Bulger, 89, was found unresponsive Tuesday morning at USP Hazelton, a high-security prison in Bruceton Mills, W.Va., where he’d just been transferred. A medical examiner declared him dead shortly afterward, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Authorities did not
immediately release a cause of death, but Justin Tarovisky, a prison union official, said it was being investigated as a homicide. Bulger led a largely Irish mob that ran loan-sharking, gambling and drug rackets. He also was an FBI informant who ratted on the New England mob, his gang’s main rival, in an era when bringing down the Mafia was a top national priority for the FBI. Bulger’s rap sheet started as a juvenile, and he spent three years in Alcatraz. Bulger fled Boston in late 1994 after his FBI handler, John Connolly Jr., warned him he was about to be indicted. With a $2 million reward on his head, Bulger became one of the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” criminals,

1990s, Bulger became a source of embarrassment for the FBI. During the years he was a fugitive, the FBI battled a public perception that it had not tried very hard to find him. After more than 16 years on the run, Bulger was captured at age 81 in Santa Monica, Calif., where he had been living in a rent-controlled apartment with his longtime girlfriend. In 2013, he was convicted of a series of slayings, as well as extortion and money-laundering after a racketeering trial that included graphic testimony from three former Bulger cohorts. He was sentenced nearly five years ago to two consecutive life sentences plus five years. DENISE

Maoist rebels kill cameraman for state-run TV, 2 policemen in central India
JAKARTA, INDONESIA Relatives numbed by grief provided samples for DNA tests to help identify victims of the Lion Air plane crash that killed 189 people in Indonesia, as accounts emerged Tuesday of problems on the jet’s previous flight, including rapid descents that terrified passengers. Two passengers on the plane’s previous flight from Bali to Jakarta on Sunday described issues that caused alarm. Alon Soetanto told TVOne the plane plunged several times in the first few minutes of its flight. “We felt like in a roller coaster,” he said. “Some passengers began to panic and vomit.” His account is consistent with data from flight-tracking sites that show erratic speed, altitude and direction in the minutes after the jet took off. A similar pattern is seen in data pinged from Monday’s fatal flight. Safety experts cautioned that the data must be checked for accuracy against the plane’s “black boxes,” which officials are confident will be recovered. Lion Air president Edward Sirait said there were reports of technical problems with the flight from Bali but they had been resolved in accordance with the plane manufacturer’s procedures. The disaster has reignited concerns about safety in Indonesia’s aviation industry, which was recently removed from European Union and U.S. blacklists. NINIEK KARMINI AND STEPHEN WRIGHT (AP)

Trumps visit Pittsburgh Hundreds protest president’s arrival in grief-stricken city, declaring him ‘unwelcome’ Squirrel Hill buries its dead after rampage
AP AND GETTY IMAGES
PITTSBURGH A mourning family didn’t want to meet him. Leaders of his own party declined to join him. The mayor explicitly asked him not to come. Protesters mobilized. And yet President Trump visited griefstricken Pittsburgh on Tuesday, amid accusations that he and his administration continue to fuel the anti-Semitism that inspired Saturday’s massacre inside a synagogue. The president and first lady Melania Trump arrived in Pittsburgh on Tuesday afternoon, not long after the first funerals began for the 11 victims of the mass shooting at Tree of Life synagogue. More than 1,300 people had signed up for a demonstration at the same time — declaring Trump “unwelcome in our city and in our country.” Congressional leaders from both parties — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; House Speaker Paul Ryan, RWis.; Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.; and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D.-Calif. — all declined invitations to join Trump on his visit, according to officials familiar with matter. (McConnell’s office said the Kentucky senator “has events in the state and was unable to attend.”) The city’s Democratic mayor, Bill Peduto, had asked the White House to consider “the will of the families” before visiting — as well as the resources of a city straining under the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history. “All attention should be on the victims,” Peduto said Monday. “We do not have enough public safety officials to provide enough protection at the funerals and ... at the same time draw attention to a potential presidential visit.” After Trump confirmed his

visit anyway, the mayor’s office said Peduto would not appear with the president. Neither would Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, who lives near the synagogue, his office said. Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers — who called out “hate” in U.S. political speech after the shooting — welcomed the president as he visited the Tree of Life synagogue on Tuesday. Trump went inside with his daughter Ivanka Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, both of whom are Jewish. News cameras then captured Trump and the first lady outside the synagogue, placing flowers and stones at memorials to the victims. He then went to a hospital to visit some of the wounded, a White House pool report said. Before Trump arrived in the area, more than 100 people had jammed onto a street corner in Squirrel Hill, the predominantly Jewish neighborhood where

near the synagogue while Trump was in the area, purposely facing away from him so as to turn their backs on the president. “This didn’t happen in a vacuum,” Ardon Shorr said. “There is a growing trend of white nationalism. And that has been enabled by Trump, who traffics in the kind of conspiracy theories that we know were foremost in the mind of the shooter.” Shorr added about Trump’s visit: “He’s not tolerated here, and we didn’t consent to him coming.” Others gathered to protest echoed Schorr’s sentiments in criticizing Trump and questioning his visit. “He’s done nothing but stoke the type of fear and hatred that led to this,” said Ben Case, 34. “And he’s coming here for a photo op and to check it off his list. But we know he’s not part of the solution.” MORIAH BALINGIT, AVI SELK AND MARK BERMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh’s Jewish community began burying its dead Tuesday after the synagogue massacre, holding funerals for a beloved family doctor, a man who was a pillar of the congregation, and two 50-something brothers. Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz, Daniel Stein and Cecil and David Rosenthal were among 11 people killed in the shooting rampage at Tree of Life synagogue Saturday. More than 1,000 people poured into Rodef Shalom, one of the city’s oldest synagogues, to mourn the Rosenthal brothers, ages 59 and 54. The two men, widely known as “the boys,” were “beautiful souls” who had “not an ounce of hate in them — something we’re terribly missing today,” Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, a survivor of the massacre, said at their funeral. Rabinowitz’s funeral was held at the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill, the historic Jewish neighborhood where the rampage took place. Police vehicles were posted near the entrances. A line of mourners stretched around the block. The 66-year-old Rabinowitz was a go-to doctor for HIV patients in the epidemic’s early days, a physician who always hugged his patients. A private funeral was also held for Stein, the 71-year-old men’s club president at Tree of Life. Other victims’ funerals have been scheduled through Friday. MARYCLAIRE DALE AND ALLEN G. BREED (AP)

A law for domestic terror? NATIONAL SECURITY The package bombs sent to Democrats across the country and the killings of Jews at a Pittsburgh synagogue may seem like clearcut cases of terrorism. But the suspects will almost certainly never face terrorism charges. The reason: There’s no domestic terrorism law. Whether there should be one is a matter of debate. On one hand, there’s the belief that white supremacists who kill for ideology should get the same terrorism label as Islamic State group supporters. On the other, there’s concern about infringing on constitutional guarantees to protect free speech, no matter how abhorrent. In the absence of domestic terrorism laws, the Justice Department relies on other statutes to prosecute ideologically motivated violence by people with no international ties. That makes it hard to track how often extremists driven by religious, racial or anti-government bias commit violence in the U.S. It also complicates efforts to develop a universally accepted domestic terrorism definition. Mary McCord, a former top Justice Department official in the Obama administration, favors a law that “puts domestic terrorism on the same moral plain as international terrorism.” “Terrorism offenses are done

The discussion in some ways is more about labels than consequences.

The penalty can easily be every bit as severe as in the international terrorism cases the Justice Department routinely brings against people who align themselves with

They worry what would happen if law enforcement were empowered to apply the same tools to a domestic investigation, like a secret warrant to monitor communications, as they have for international investigations. They also contend that increased powers could run afoul of civil liberties protection and lead to groups being classified as terror organizations just because the government didn’t like their ideology. “You want to be really careful given the current political context about who would be put on that list because you don’t want them put on there for purely punitive reasons,” said Karen Greenberg, director of Fordham University law school’s Center on National Security. But advocates of a domestic terrorism law say without a specific statute, cases that could all be charged under a single law are instead brought under a hodgepodge of others, making it virtually impossible to identify trends and tally how many domestic terror acts occur in the U.S. and how prosecutors handle them. Joshua Zive, outside counsel to the FBI Agents Association, said: “The time is ripe for us to have a serious discussion about whether we have all the tools we need to detect, prosecute and prevent these sorts of acts.” ERIC TUCKER AND MICHAEL BALSAMO (AP)
PITTSBURGH SYNAGOGUE MASSACRE
AP
Holocaust survivor caught in crossfire
Twice now, Judah Samet has almost paid with his life for being Jewish. More than 70 years ago, he escaped death in Germany’s Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. On Saturday, the Hungarian-born 80-year-old was caught in crossfire as a plainclothes officer traded gunfire with a man at the temple door. “I survived the second time yesterday,” he said Sunday. The question put to him repeatedly after the attack, he said, was whether memories of the Holocaust had flashed before his eyes Saturday. “And I said, ‘It never stops,’ ” he told The Washington Post.

San Diego County declares end to 2-year hepatitis A outbreak that killed 20, sickened hundreds
Jewish doctors, nurses treated injured suspect PITTSBURGH The man accused in the killings of 11 people in a synagogue in Pittsburgh was taken to the hospital after he was apprehended to be treated for the injuries he suffered in a gunfight with the police. In the emergency room when he arrived, he was shouting, “I want to kill all the Jews,” the hospital’s president said. At least three of the doctors and nurses who cared for Robert Bowers at the Allegheny General Hospital were Jewish, according to President Jeffrey K. Cohen. “We’re here to take care of sick people,” Cohen, who is a member of the congregation where the massacre happened, told ABC affiliate WTAE. “We’re not here to judge you. … We’re here to take care of people that need our help.” Cohen’s description of how Bowers came to be treated fairly and impartially by the very people he had supposedly hated was picked up around the world. “I thought it was important to at least talk to him and meet him,” Cohen told ABC. “You can’t on one hand say we should talk to each other, and then I don’t talk to him. So you lead by example, and I’m the leader of the hospital.” Cohen described talking to the nurse, whose father is a rabbi, after the man treated Bowers. “He was pretty broken,” Cohen told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “I told him how proud I was. He went home and hugged his parents.” ELI ROSENBERG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump sets his sights on birthright citizenship
178K
Halloween is extra deadly for walkers
President Trump says he has the authority to end birthright citizenship.
ANDREW HARNIK (AP)
IMMIGRATION President Trump is vowing to sign an executive order that would seek to end the right to U.S. citizenship for children born in the United States to noncitizens, a move most legal experts say runs afoul of the Constitution and that was dismissed Tuesday by the top House Republican. The action, which Trump previewed in a television clip broadcast Tuesday, would be the most aggressive by a president elected to office pledging to take a hard line on immigration, an issue he has revived in advance of next week’s midterm elections. “We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits,” Trump said during an interview with Axios scheduled to air as part of a new HBO series starting this weekend. “It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. And it has to end.” In fact, more than 30 countries, including Canada and Mexico, have similar policies. Leading Democrats and immigrants’-rights activists blasted Trump’s promise Tuesday. And House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., also dismissed the idea, saying it is not consistent with the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. “Well you obviously cannot do that,” Ryan said on WVLK in Kentucky. “You cannot end birthright citizenship with an
TRAFFIC STUDY
executive order.” Whether the contemplated move is legal or not, Trump seemed to welcome the controversy his comments ignited. The White House has been intent on stoking a debate over immigration to motivate Trump’s base to turn out for midterm elections in which the GOP risks losing the House. In recent weeks, Trump has also repeatedly called attention to a migrant caravan making its way toward the U.S.-Mexico border, invoking it as a symbol of what he sees as wrong with the immigration system and blaming Democrats for a lack of action. Trump, who has long decried “anchor babies,” said he has discussed ending birthright citizenship with his legal counsel and
believes it can be accomplished with an executive action, a view at odds with the opinions of most legal scholars. “It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” Trump told Axios. Trump’s comments were cheered Tuesday by some fellow Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C, who called the policy “a magnet for illegal immigration.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called Trump’s promised move an attempt to divert attention from health care, which Democrats have sought to make the leading issue of the election.

Trick-or-treaters beware: Halloween can be deadly for pedestrians, especially kids. Research published Tuesday found a 43 percent higher risk of pedestrian deaths on Halloween night than on other nights near that date. The study, by Canadian researchers, was based on four decades of U.S. traffic data, including 608 pedestrian deaths on 42 Halloweens. The findings echo a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analysis of 19751996 data. Kids aged 4 to 8 faced the highest risks in the new study: There were 55 Halloween deaths in that age range, compared with just 11 on control days. Deaths peaked near dusk, around 6 p.m. (AP)

MOTORCYCLE RECALL
The number of motorcycles Harley-Davidson is recalling in the U.S. because they can get stuck in gear due to a clutch problem. Documents posted Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say clutches can leak fluid internally, making it so they don’t have enough lift to disengage the bikes from gears, which can cause riders to lose control and increase the risk of a crash. The Milwaukee-based company has documented reports of five crashes with no injuries. The recall is expected to start Monday.

REDSKINS TRADE
AP AND THE WASHINGTON POST
Clinton-Dix will bolster secondary
Maryland football coach DJ Durkin, left, and athletic director Damon Evans, center, will remain while school president Wallace Loh will retire in June.
Durkin OK’d to return Coach reinstated while U-Md. president who wanted him out will retire in June
MARYLAND A tumultuous four-month period for the University of Maryland football program culminated when the university president recommended parting ways with the head coach, and the coach made a last-ditch plea to keep his job. After four final days of debate and discussion, the university system’s board of regents sided with the coach. DJ Durkin, who has been on administrative leave since Aug. 11, will return to the sideline, the school said Tuesday, and Wallace Loh, the president of the university’s flagship College Park campus, will retire when his contract expires p in June.
The decisions follow a controversy that began with the death June 13 of offensive lineman Jordan McNair, 19. Durkin is expected to coach Saturday’s home game against Michigan State (noon, ESPN2). The Terrapins have gone 5-3 under interim coach Matt Canada. Multiple people close to the football program said several players walked out of Durkin’s first meeting with the team Tuesday afternoon. According to four people familiar with the situation, the regents strongly urged Loh to let Durkin return and athletic director Damon Evans continue in his role. In Loh’s meeting with the regents Friday, he explained to
the board why he felt the school needed to move on from Durkin. But according to three people familiar with the situation, many of the regents were impressed by their subsequent meeting with Durkin, and enough were persuaded that he deserved to remain in his post that Loh was told he had no choice. “It was made clear that if he wanted to remain in his position, he had no option,” one person close to the situation said. “He ultimately felt it would’ve been tremendously disruptive to the entire campus if he was to be terminated simply because he wouldn’t put the coach back on the field. … The board has no authority to hire and fire a football coach, but they made clear that returning DJ to the field was their highest priority.” In a news conference Tuesday
in Baltimore, James Brady, chair of the university system’s board of regents, said the board accepted the findings and recommendations of a special commission tasked with investigating the culture of the football program. That commission found problems with the leadership in the athletic department but did not find the culture within the football program under Durkin’s leadership to be “toxic.” Brady said that Durkin had been “unfairly blamed for the dysfunction in the athletic department.” Maryland previously acknowledged that athletic and medical staff failed to properly treat McNair after he suffered heatstroke at a conditioning workout May 29. After media reports alleged abuse and bullying in the program, Durkin was put on leave in August.
The Redskins on Tuesday obtained Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who will pair with D.J. Swearinger to give Washington one of the best safety tandems in the league. The Redskins announced that they will give Green Bay a 2019 fourth-round draft pick for Clinton-Dix, who will be an unrestricted free agent after this season. Clinton-Dix, 25, has been a starter since his rookie season in 2014 and made the Pro Bowl in 2016. He gives the Redskins an upgrade over second-year safety Montae Nicholson. Swearinger, like the Redskins’ defense overall, is having an excellent season. He currently is rated as the top safety in the league by Pro Football Focus. (TWP/EXPRESS)

ANALYSIS
Five possible suitors for Harper
No one outside of Nationals management knows if the club will fight to re-sign free agent Bryce Harper, who is likely to seek a deal similar to Giancarlo Stanton’s 13-year, $325 million contract. Here are some of the other potential landing spots. (THE WASHINGTON POST) Cubs
Dodgers
Yankees
Phillies
Giants
The affluent franchise is loaded with both young and experienced outfielders, but management is fretting about an offense that collapsed in the last two months of the season and has been inconsistent for two years. Harper could help fix it. In 17 career games and 79 plate appearances at Wrigley Field, he has hit .333 with a 1.106 OPS.
With a championship still eluding them, the Dodgers might offer a mega-deal considering they can afford just about anything. They have talented outfielders such as Yasiel Puig, Joc Pederson and Matt Kemp, but none can match Harper. Plus, L.A. is back on his beloved West Coast and near his family’s Las Vegas home.
With Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge already on board, this might seem outlandish. But keep in mind: The 100-win Yankees traded for an outfielder (Andrew McCutchen) down the stretch. Plus, Stanton can opt out of his contract after the 2020 season, which would lop off the final seven years and $218 million of that deal.
This has always been the team to watch this winter, with money reportedly stockpiled and an ownership group ready to spend. Team president Andy MacPhail drafted Manny Machado in Baltimore and might prefer him. But if the Phillies whiff on Machado, Harper would be at home at Citizens Bank Park, where he has 14 home runs in 50 games.
They can’t check the “winnow” box for Harper. But with a yet-to-be-named GM on the way and the financial security brought by a devoted fan base and a first-rate ballpark, that can be corrected. Harper might want to try to emulate another left-handed slugger, Barry Bonds, who loved to splash home runs into McCovey Cove.

Biles leads U.S. to world title
Philly adds a weapon as NFL contenders seek help on last day for trades WR Thomas to Texans
The Eagles acquired Golden Tate, 30, from the Lions on Tuesday for a 2019 thirdround pick. Tate has 44 catches for 517 yards and three touchdowns this season, and 37 TD catches in his career. Tate, who will be a free agent after the season, joins Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Jordan Matthews, giving Carson Wentz another target to go along with tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert.
The Broncos sent wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, 30, to the Texans for a 2019 fourth-round pick. The clubs also swapped seventh-rounders in 2019. Thomas, who will be a free agent after the season, is averaging a career-low 11.2 yards per catch but has three touchdown receptions, and 60 in his career. The Texans last week lost No. 2 receiver Will Fuller (torn ACL) for the season.
The Jaguars traded defensive end Dante Fowler, a 2015 first-round pick, to the 8-0 Rams for a third-round pick in 2019 and a fifth-rounder in 2020. The Rams’ defensive front already had Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh and Michael Brockers. Fowler, who will be a free agent after the season, became expendable because of the rise of University of Maryland product Yannick Ngakoue.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK
Local product Kali Uchis released her debut album, “Isolation,” in April.
Shifting out of neutral Seven years ago, Kali Uchis was living out of her car. Now, she’s a rising pop star. MUSIC Kali Uchis is highly particular. She enjoys Los Angeles, but the lack of seasonal weather makes her feel as though she’s caught in a “Groundhog Day” loop. She’s selective about whom she works with, she says, because she’s averse to other people telling her how she should sound. The Colombian-American singer, who oversees most of her own creative direction, has a clear view of not only what she wants to do, but how she intends to do it. And the 24-year-old is well aware of how the world perceives resolute women like her. “There’s probably a lot of people who think I’m a bitch, but I think it’s really important, as an artist in general, if you have
a vision for yourself, to not let other people push you around or make you feel like you’re being too aggressive,” Uchis says. In the past two years, Uchis been nominated for Latin and American Grammy Awards, toured with Lana Del Rey and performed at Coachella. Now, the local product’s first headlining tour is drawing to a close. At 17, in 2011, Uchis found herself living out of her SUV, residing mostly in the parking lot of a 24-hour supermarket in Alexandria. In an act of tough love, her parents expelled her from their home after she repeatedly broke her curfew. Uchis was attending T.C. Williams High School but had little interest in doing anything beyond the arts.
Paying it forward Kali Uchis’ good fortune in her rise from homeless teen to pop star is not lost on her: She says she recently started a nonprofit venture with her father, and the 24-year-old also donates the proceeds from clothes she sells online. After crowdsourcing Twitter to reach out to those in need, she got medicine and hospital supplies to people in Colombia. J.K.
Uchis supported herself by working as a cashier at Whole Foods. But when Snoop Dogg and Tyler, the Creator reached out to her via Twitter after hearing her 2012 mixtape, “Drunken Babble,” she knew music needed her undivided attention. She saved $11,000
and moved to Los Angeles. “Isolation,” her debut album, released in April, tells the story of Uchis’ personal trek, capturing her at different stages of life. “I feel bad for anyone who stays the same,” she says quietly. Much of Uchis’ personal evolution has come from new experiences and comfort with solitude. She’s able to be alone ne without feeling lonely, an art she mastered while feeling like ke an outcast at school and at home me during her upbringing. ild “That’s what helped me build ys. the life I have today,” she says. “Being able to step away from evv erything that’s going on around nd me and being able to see that the he world is a lot bigger than this.” s.”
ANDRE CHUNG (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
A desolate plunge into melancholy Lukas Graham has crafted a work of regret and moodiness with “3 (The Purple Album),” a record released Friday that is largely shorn of the upbeat tempos and hip-hop elements that made the band’s 2015 self-titled album so successful. On “Everything That Isn’t Me,” frontman Lukas Forchhammer apologizes for not being a better brother, son and lover. On “Lullaby,” he laments being away on the lonely road. Forchhammer is clearly working out a lot of personal stuff on “3,” but it’s an album that largely leaves the listener, well, bummed out. MARK KENNEDY (AP)

Hitting the road to self-reflection BOOK REVIEW Anyone who has had their heart broken will recognize the emotional contours of Abbi Jacobson’s post-breakup cross-country road trip. There’s the brisk self-talk (“I’ll go where I want to go, buy what I want with the money I’ve earned, order whatever takeout I want with disproportionate sodas”); there’s refurbishment (“I should try meditation”); and there’s the baseless yet somehow plausible suspicion that an ex has not only moved on but also that “her day-to-day is jam-packed with boundless joy and she’s never felt more fulfilled or satisfied.” When Jacobson — co-creator and co-star of the hit show “Broad City” — finds herself gutted from the dissolution of her first real relationship, she hits the road for three weeks. The result is “I Might Regret This: Essays, Drawings, Vulnerabilities, and Other Stuff,” a sweetly wistful collection released Tuesday that includes her hand-drawn illustrations. As Jacobson goes on her journey, her thoughts unspool. She broods over past mista mistakes and

Abbi Jacobson asks big questions on her cross-country journey.
surveys her professional insecurities, which will be familiar to many women: a reluctance to celebrate her successes, a fear of saying no, discomfort with telling people that something was not done correctly. Jacobson asks more questions than she answers, which is as it should be. En route from Asheville, N.C., to Memphis, Tenn., she mulls over what she terms The Big Questions. “Why does the pen they give you to sign the check or the important document never work? Why does it work for them when they take it back and try it themselves?” “Why do so many people hate women?” “Is there a point in time when you stop feeling like you’re eighteen?” There’s an easy answer to that last one, anyway: Nope.

“You have got to be kidding me.” @CATHYERWAY, reacting to Vice President Pence’s appearance Monday at a Michigan rally with “rabbi” Loren Jacobs, a Messianic Jew. Jacobs was brought onstage to offer his prayers for the victims of Saturday’s synagogue shooting. Backlash against Jacobs’ presence was swift, since Messianic Jews hold the evangelical — not Jewish — view that Jesus is the Messiah. Jacobs did not name any of the 11 victims, but prayed for four Republican candidates, including Michigan congressional candidate Lena Epstein, who invited him to speak.

FEUDS
Nicki, Cardi prepare for ‘Maury’ taping
Kid in search of babysitter Kourtney Kardashian and Luka Sabbat have broken up after only a few months of dating, according to People. “Kourtney is no longer seeing Luka,” a source told the magazine. “It was a fun fling for her, but not a big deal.” The 39-year-old reality star and 20-year-old actor were first seen together in September at Los Angeles restaurant The Nice Guy and then in Chicago for the opening weekend of TAO b. (EXPRESS) nightclub.
Following their fight at New York Fashion Week last month, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B reignited their feud on Monday through social media. On her “Queen Radio” show, Minaj addressed the Fashion Week incident and denied several rumors. Cardi B responded via a 10-part video series on Instagram, calling Minaj a liar. Minaj then took to Twitter and invited Cardi B to take a lie detector test. The rappers seemed to resolve their differences after Minaj wrote a tweet telling fans to “focus on positive things only from here on out,” which Cardi B shared on Instagram with the caption “Alright then! Let’s keep it positive and keep it pushing!” (EXPRESS)
