Metro tricks out its old cars to look new

Pilot program will give old rail cars the feel of the 7000 series

TRANSPORTATION Metro is hoping that with some dressing up, you might almost forget you’re riding in an old 3000- or 6000-series rail car. In a video posted to YouTube Monday, the transit agency announced it will freshen up some 3000- and 6000-series rail cars to mimic the look of the system’s newest trains. The changes include installing a silver vinyl overwrap that looks like the 7000-series cars, replacing carpet with confetti-patterned, nonstick flooring and outfitting them with blue padded seats — from older, legacy models. Two 6000-series cars will “look like new trains” beginning this week, Metro said. Metro says the changes will give its rail cars a clean, unified look — and save money in the long run. In all, 12 cars will be given the new treatment, with the most prominent change running

Metro will wrap 12 of its old rail cars in silver vinyl under a pilot program.

Metro $4,776 per vinyl wrap, agency spokesman Richard L. Jordan said. Metro says the nearly $60,000 pilot will result in cost savings in the long run and reduce environmental waste as well. The agency didn’t cite any specific data or provide a cost-benefit analysis. Jordan said the agency will be evaluating the wraps’ durability during the pilot. He also said the wraps allow Metro to use environmentally safe chemicals to clean the rail cars.

Monday’s marketing video prompted riders on social media to ask why the cash-strapped agency was making cosmetic changes. Metro argued that customers prefer the new look. “Customers like the sleeker, modern, cleaner look,” Jordan said. “They favor moving away from the dated ’70s color (brown exterior and orange interior). They vastly prefer the resilient flooring to carpeting.” FAIZ SIDDIQUI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A Politico report published Tuesday gives further evidence of President Trump’s love of McDonald’s. Politico reported that the president’s longtime aide Keith Schiller, who left the White House in September, would make special runs to the McDonald’s on New York Avenue to get Trump a Quarter Pounder with cheese, no pickles and extra ketchup, along with a fried apple pie. Schiller also used to grab an Egg McMuffin for Trump in the mornings while on the campaign trail. (EXPRESS)

local Maryland county joins the District in the push to raise minimum wage MONTGOMERY COUNTY The Montgomery County Council voted unanimously Tuesday to require a $15 minimum wage, joining a small yet growing number of jurisdictions to mandate such an increase and signaling a revived push to implement the wage statewide. Montgomery, which is the largest and one of the most affluent jurisdictions in Maryland, is the first in the state to require a $15 minimum wage, and the second in the Washington region, after the District. The council ultimately voted on a compromise bill under which

large, midsize and small businesses will adopt the new minimum at different stages over the next seven years. Large businesses — those with more than 50 employees — must comply by 2021. Midsize businesses, with 11 to 50 employees, must pay the wage by 2023. Small businesses — those with 10 or fewer employees — have until 2024. Only a handful of suburban jurisdictions nationwide have approved a $15 minimum hourly wage. Former NAACP president Ben Jealous, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor in Maryland and was an adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., during his presidential campaign, applauded the council’s vote and vowed to fight in Annapolis for a

Montgomery, a Democraticleaning county of more than 1 million residents that became majority-minority in 2011 and includes pockets of poverty and working-class enclaves among its many affluent areas. Tuesday’s vote came more than 10 months after the council narrowly approved legislation to enact a $15 hourly minimum wage by 2020. Only five of the council’s nine members supported that bill, not enough to override a veto by County Executive Isiah Leggett, who said he was concerned the higher minimum wage would put Montgomery at a competitive disadvantage compared to nearby suburbs. Six votes would have been required to override the veto.

ACLU: Fake calls reported in Virginia on Election Day saying polling places had changed

The inevitable arrival of winter comes every year, and often without much warning. After being in a persistently warm pattern since mid-September, there are finally signs of winter — a brief cold snap is predicted later this week. In a mere month, average high temperatures will fall into the 40s — a far cry from the present near 60. To the delight of many and the despair of some, last winter was very warm, with very little snow. A meager 3.4 inches fell at Reagan National Airport and 7.3 inches at Dulles International. But that winter without much winter followed three straight featuring above-average snow. If anything, D.C. winters have proven wildly variable in recent years. This winter is sure to take on its own character, but will it be memorable? The Capital Weather Gang thinks it will end up pretty ordinary but should deliver more of a punch than last winter, which closed 6 degrees warmer than average. Temperatures should be noticeably colder than last winter, although still slightly above average. More snow is also expected, though a little less than the average of 15.4 inches at National. Overall, the Capital Weather Gang predicts we’ll have five to seven accumulating snowfall events for the immediate D.C. metro area, with a couple more in the outer suburbs. MATT ROSS

Laughing activist’s charges dropped THE DISTRICT District prosecutors have decided to give up pursing a criminal case against an activist who was arrested after laughing during Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ Senate confirmation hearing in January. The decision was quietly entered into the record Monday, nearly four months after the chief judge of the D.C. Superior Court threw out a jury conviction for Desiree Fairooz in May on two misdemeanor charges of unlawful conduct on Capitol grounds. A retrial was set for November for the 61-year-old woman, who could have faced up to six months in jail. But prosecutors dropped the case one week ahead of the planned court date. “The U.S. attorney’s office typically does not discuss charging decisions,” according to a statement issued by the office’s spokesman. Samuel A. Bogash, Fairooz’s attorney, described his client as “happy and relieved.” Bogash said that the dropped charges came as a surprise and that he was given no explanation.

MATT McCLAIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Woman was arrested for disrupting Sessions’ confirmation hearing

Desiree Fairooz, 61, is a member of Code Pink, a progressive group that regularly protests at Congress.

He said he had talked to the prosecutor Friday to prepare for the upcoming trial. “I would have liked to have an outright victory and a not-guilty verdict,” he said. But he added, “My client is no longer facing criminal prosecution, and that’s a win for her.” Fairooz had attended Sessions’ confirmation hearing Jan. 10 along with about two dozen other members of Code Pink, a progressive activist group that regularly protests at Congress. Fairooz laughed moments after Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., stated that Sessions’ record of “treating all Americans equally under the law is clear and well-documented.” PETER HERMANN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

On his way out: IRS chief bluntly blames Congress fault of the Congress. … I am blaming Congress.” Koskinen had repeatedly warned Congress about the dangers of shortchanging the agency that collects more than 9 of the 10 dollars Uncle Sam spends. But Republicans were intent on penalizing the IRS because it had improperly scrutinized right-leaning organizations. It turns out that left-leaning groups were also hit with that scrutiny, but for much of that controversy the focus was on conservatives. Congressional retribution meant taxpayer service suffered; too often it simply failed. Because of staffing shortages, there were long telephone wait times for taxpayers, when calls were answered at all. Koskinen outlined two risks that threaten tax administration, saying “this is not a question of ‘whether,’ but of ‘when,’ ” if the budget cuts continue. First are the agency’s information technology systems, which Koskinen said “have long been operating with antiquated hardware and software,” adding that “the potential for a catastrophic system failure is increasing as our infrastructure continues to age.”

Leaving can be liberating. Republican Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Jeff Flake of Arizona have demonstrated that with their caustic criticisms of President Trump. Now it’s John Koskinen’s turn. Thursday is his last day as commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, allowing him to be blunt about Congress on Tuesday. “I’m hopeful that, in the future, the IRS and Congress can have a more rational and reasonable discussion of the resources the agency needs to meet its very critical responsibilities,” he said during a briefing with reporters. After listing how the legislature, led by Republicans who focused on punishing the IRS and impeaching Koskinen, hurt the agency and taxpayers with funding cuts, he did not equivocate in placing the blame squarely on Capitol Hill. “It’s clearly a matter of fault,” Koskinen said. “I want people to understand that there are ramifications to, in fact, underfunding the agency. If the agency fails and people are looking for fault, it will be the

John Koskinen has been the commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service since December 2013. His last day on the job will be Thursday.

The second risk involves people, not things. The IRS has lost about 20,000 full-time staffers since 2010. That’s a big slice out of a workforce that is now about 80,000. About onethird of the compliance staff, those who get taxpayers to pay, was lost. There were twice as many revenue officers in 1954 and there are fewer criminal investigation special agents now than at any time since 1971. The number of audited individual tax returns is at its lowest point in 14 years. “If people think that many others are not paying their fair

share, or that they’re not going to get caught if they cheat, or they’re just frustrated because they can’t get the help they need from us to file their taxes, our voluntary compliance system will be put at risk,” he warned. “A 1 percent drop in the compliance rate translates into a revenue loss of over $30 billion a year.” That might be good news to those fearing an audit, but it’s not good for the government’s budget.

A. You can, but that doesn’t mean nothing will change. From next Monday through Dec. 11, federal workers not in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program may join for 2018 — retirees generally can’t newly enroll. Anyone already enrolled can switch plans or levels of coverage or leave them to continue unchanged. But at least be sure your plan isn’t among the few dropping out, and if it’s continuing, check for changes in coverage, out-ofpocket costs and premiums. Also, both employees and retirees may newly enroll in the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program, where the available plans will stay the same. As with the FEHBP, current enrollment continues for those who do nothing, subject to changes in a plan’s coverage and costs. However, if you want a health care flexible spending account, a dependent care account or both next year, you must make an election even if you already are enrolled. The maximum is rising by $50 to $2,650 in the former, while the cap on the latter will remain $5,000. FSAs are available only to active employees, not to retirees. ERIC YODER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Authorities missed three chances to stop man’s access to guns

SAUDI ARABIA

DAVID J. PHILLIP (AP)

SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, TEXAS The gunman who carried out the massacre of 26 people at a small-town Texas church briefly escaped from a mental health center in New Mexico in 2012 and got in trouble for bringing guns onto a military base and threatening his superiors there, police reports indicate. Devin Patrick Kelley was also named as a suspect in a 2013 sexual assault in his hometown of New Braunfels, about 35 miles from the church he attacked. The records that emerged Tuesday add up to at least three missed opportunities that might have offered law enforcement a way to stop Kelley from having access to guns long before he slaughtered much of the congregation in the middle of a Sunday service. Kelley died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Air Force confirmed Tuesday that Kelley had been treated at the facility after he was placed under pretrial confinement stemming from a court-martial on charges that he assaulted his spouse and hit her child hard enough to fracture the boy’s skull. An El Paso, Texas, police report released Tuesday noted that Kelley escaped from the mental health facility in Santa Teresa, N.M., and was later found at a bus station in June 2012. Involuntary commitment to a mental institution would have

Kelley was also caught trying to bring guns onto Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico when he was stationed there, according to the El Paso police report. While in the military there, Kelley, 21 at the time, had made death threats against superior officers, according to the report, which also mentioned the military charges. He was eventually sentenced to 12 months of confinement for the assault. The Air Force acknowledged Monday that it did not enter Kelley’s criminal history into the federal database, as required

“If [a bystander] didn’t have a gun, instead of having 26 dead, you would have had hundreds more dead.” PRESIDENT TRUMP, speaking in South Korea on Tuesday, saying that without the aid of the armed bystander who chased the shooter, many more people would have died

by military rules. Officers recovered a Ruger AR-556 rifle at the church and two additional handguns from the shooter’s vehicle, authorities reported. All three weapons were purchased by Kelley. In New Braunfels, Comal County sheriff Mark Reynolds

said he was reviewing whether his department mishandled the sexual assault investigation in which Kelley was a suspect. Reynolds said that it appeared sheriff’s deputies investigated the rape case for three months after being called to Kelley’s home in June 2013, but stopped investigating after they believed Kelley had left Texas and moved to Colorado. Reynolds said the case was then listed as inactive. Meanwhile, at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, investigators continued analyzing a gruesome crime scene. The gunman’s phone was flown to an FBI lab for analysis, but agents have yet to access it, the agency said. Authorities aimed to conclude the crime scene investigation at the church by this evening.

Emergency rooms are where many patients are first introduced to opioid painkillers, but what if doctors offered over-the-counter pills instead?

The results could prompt changes that might help protect patients from addiction. (AP)

Leak shows how elite avoid taxes

A huge leak of financial documents revealed by a group of about 100 media organizations Sunday provided deep insights into some of the mechanisms used by top politicians and celebrities to escape paying taxes. Offshore funds are often used to avoid paying high taxes. ta Their use is not necessarily illegal, though it tends to raise eyebrows. Here are four revelations.

The portfolio also held inc funds in Bermuda and the Cayman fu Islands and invested in a company Isl accused of shady lending practices. ac The chief finance officer of the Th estate defended the investments, es while opposition leaders suggested wh the queen should apologize. th

A startup company co-owned by President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Kushner’s brother received funding from Russian billionaire Yuri Milner in 2015. Kushner told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he had never “relied on” Russian money to finance his private business dealings. Others named in the documents are chief economic adviser Gary Cohn and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Other officials mentioned include Stephen Bronfman, a key adviser to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as well as Britain’s Lord Ashcroft, a top donor to Britain’s Conservative Party who fled to a bathroom while trying to escape questions about the issue. An offshore fund allegedly operated by Lord Ashcroft and revealed by the documents may have been worth more than $330 million.

The Russian billionaire bought shares in U.S. tech companies Twitter and Facebook. Those purchases came from Russia’s VTB Bank and the state-led Gazprom company, which are both under U.S. sanctions. Milner has disputed that the two entities financed his purchases. The revelations follow new concerns that ads and fake accounts were used to sway voters ahead of last November’s elections.

nation+world President says progress being made in standoff with the rogue nation SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA President Trump asserted Tuesday that his administration is making “a lot of progress” on North Korea, and he urged dictator Kim Jong Un to “make a deal” at the negotiating table on the rogue nation’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. “I believe it makes sense for North Korea to do the right thing, not only for North Korea but for humanity all over the world,” Trump said during a joint news conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in after a bilateral meeting at the Blue House.

“I do see certain movement, yes, but we’ll see what happens,” he added, without offering any details. Trump’s remarks came as he prepared to deliver an address to the South Korean National Assembly today in which advisers said he intends to call on countries to rally against the growing threat from Pyongyang. On Tuesday, he praised Chinese President Xi Jinping, whom he will meet in Beijing for a threeday summit starting today, for being “very helpful,” and added that China is “trying very hard to solve the problem.” He offered hope that Russia will “likewise be helpful.” Trump has said he expects to meet Russian leader Vladimir Putin at a regional

summit later in the week in either Vietnam or the Philippines. “This is not the right time to be doing it, but that’s what I got,”

Trump said, complaining that his predecessors at the White House had failed to solve the issue. “This is a problem that should have been taken care of a long time ago.” The president avoided the type of heated rhetoric he has employed in the past while talking about North Korea, but he emphasized that the United States is “showing great strength.” North Korea “knows we have unparalleled strength,” he said. Before the news conference, the president toured Camp Humphreys, the third military base he has visited since leaving Washington on a 12-day trip to the Asia-Pacific region that began last Friday.

The chief minister called the city a “gas chamber.” As winter approaches, thick smog — caused by dust, the burning of crops, emissions from factories, and coal and garbage fires used for heating — routinely envelops New Delhi, one of the world’s most polluted cities.

WASHINGTON Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to President Trump’s campaign whose visit to Moscow during the election has drawn scrutiny, sent an email to fellow Trump aides during his trip, describing “a private conversation” with a senior Russian official who spoke favorably of the Republican candidate, according to records released late Monday by congressional investigators. Page also wrote that he had been provided “incredible insights and outreach” by Russian lawmakers and “senior members” of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration on the trip. The email appeared to contradict earlier statements by Page, who had said he had only exchanged brief greetings with a senior Russian official, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, after he delivered a speech at a Russian university. Confronted with his email, Page told the House Intelligence Committee he had not meant that he met with any officials but rather that he had learned of their views about the U.S. election from local media and scholars. Page told the committee that he had not worked with the Russians to hack emails or otherwise influence the election. Page’s testimony shows that a number of Trump campaign officials were aware of his plans to travel to Moscow before he left — and that he updated others on his return. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A lost love of leftovers in America

WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE FIX

CULTURE American consumers throw away 27 million tons of food each year, clogging landfills, generating greenhouse gasses and costing the economy an estimated $144 billion, according to the food waste coalition ReFED. The solution, however, could be simple: get people to eat leftovers again. Once the mainstay of weekday lunchboxes and thrifty home cooks, leftovers today constitute the single largest source of edible food waste in U.S. homes, according to a new study by the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group. The finding defies conventional wisdom about the sorts of foods consumers waste — and represents a major obstacle for environmentalists and antifood-waste campaigns. While past efforts have focused on improving consumers’ food literacy and kitchen skills, enticing them to embrace leftovers will involve changing deep-seated food preferences. “I don’t think this is just about education,” said Dana Gunders, a scientist in NRDC’s Food and Agriculture Program. “It’s a cultural shift that needs to happen.” In the report, published last month, the NRDC sought to measure how much food Americans waste and what types of foods

they tend to waste most. The study analyzed the food-waste habits of more than 1,151 households in Nashville, Denver and New York, who agreed to keep diaries of the items they tossed and allow researchers to check their trash cans afterward. What researchers found was staggering: The average person wasted 3.5 pounds of food per week. Of that, about one-third consisted of inedible parts, such as chicken bones or banana peels. And of the remaining, edible trashed food, bin digs found that 23 percent consisted of prepared leftovers, from any source — followed by fruits and vegetables, baked goods, and liquids and oils. Gunders said that many consumers appear to stash Tupperware containers in their fridge and then forget to use them before the food goes bad. Other times, consumers grow bored of eating the same food on multiple occasions. “There were two big reasons people threw out edible food,” Gunders said. “They thought it had spoiled, or they just didn’t like leftovers.” This is not a new feeling in the American psyche, although it has come under scrutiny with increased attention to food waste. The food historian Helen Veit has observed that regard for leftovers plummeted in the 1960s,

when refrigeration and cheap food became plentiful. Although saving food had been patriotic during both World Wars, and economically necessary in the century before them, rising

incomes and agricultural productivity pushed thrift out of favor. “I’m not saying all Americans did this recklessly, but by the 1960s, people were able to say, ‘I’d rather not eat that leftover pot roast,’ ” Veit said. “They could say, ‘Let’s drive to a restaurant or go to the grocery store or get something out of the freezer.’ ” Shifting Americans back to that old way of thinking could be tricky. Gunders said the effort could include public service campaigns aimed at getting people to “love their leftovers.” NRDC is also emphasizing education around portion size and meal planning to teach people to make only what they’ll consume. Apart from that, environmentalists and anti-food-waste campaigners are holding out for a shift in American eating culture. Gunders is hopeful that cultural influencers, led by the food media, can help convince people that it’s cool to eat leftovers. But if Americans are truly to embrace the doggy bag, they may need a stronger push, Veit said. She sees one possible model in the government propaganda campaigns that got Americans to embrace leftovers during World War I and World War II. “They succeeded,” she said, “by pushing this idea that it was morally wrong to waste food.” CAITLIN DEWEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Story behind attack on Paul gets weirder A U.S. senator was allegedly assaulted five days ago, and the more we learn about it, the stranger it becomes. Since Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was attacked on Friday, we’ve found out that the accused party is his next-door neighbor in a gated community in Bowling Green, Ky. Rene Boucher has confirmed he tackled Paul. We’ve also learned that Paul sustained more severe injuries than first reported — including five broken ribs, three of which were displaced fractures, meaning they are partially or fully cracked — and that they will require months of recovery. Police had initially said that Paul sustained minor injuries. Those injuries could lead to felony charges against Boucher, rather than the current misdemeanor assault charge. Some suggested the attack might be politically motivated, but Boucher’s lawyer, Matthew J. Baker, said it was “a very regrettable dispute between two neighbors over a matter that most people would regard as trivial,” adding that Boucher hoped the two men could “get back to being neighbors as quickly as possible.” The New York Times cites three Kentucky Republicans who say the attack was the result of a landscaping dispute related to stray yard clippings, newly planted saplings and unraked leaves.

Redskins face a tough two weeks

MLB FREE AGENCY

Several Nats free to go

Baseball’s offseason is in full swing now that free agents are allowed to negotiate with other clubs. The Nationals have 12 free agents, the most in the majors, after they declined the mutual option on Adam Lind’s contract and catcher Matt Wieters exercised his player option. A majority of the Nationals’ free agents are likely to land elsewhere. Here’s a rundown on their prospects. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

1B/LF Adam Lind

IF/OF Howie Kendrick

RHP Brandon Kintzler

.226/.322/.393, 10 HRs in 70 games

.303/.362/.513, 14 HRs in 116 games

.315/.368/.475 with Phillies and Nats

3.03 ERA with Twins and Nats

His seven-year contract, a deal that signaled the franchise’s shift from division doormat to perennial contender, ended in frustration. Because of a foot injury, he played less than half the season, hitting .226, and struggled at the plate and in the field in the playoffs. Werth, who will turn 39 in May, has said he doesn’t want to retire; it’s possible he could return as a backup.

The left-handed hitter was a $1 million bargain, backing up Ryan Zimmerman at first base, filling in as a left fielder and providing power off the bench (his four pinch-hit home runs led the majors and set the franchise’s record for an entire career). The Nationals could have brought him back, but declined his $5 million mutual option, an indication they believe they can find a cheaper option for the bench.

He hit a solid .293 for the Nationals in 52 regular-season games, then had just three plate appearances in the postseason as the club got healthy. Kendrick, 34, could provide great insurance early next season as second baseman Daniel Murphy recovers from recent microfracture knee surgery. That would leave the less experienced Wilmer Difo, 25, in his role as a utility man.

After being acquired at the All-Star break, he settled into the seventhinning role, setting up Ryan Madson to get to Sean Doolittle in the ninth. Kintzler, 33, struggled in other situations with the Nationals, but probably still could sign for more money elsewhere to pitch the eighth inning or close. With 39 K’s in 71-plus innings last season, he doesn’t have the stuff of a classic closer.

C Jose Lobaton

RHP Edwin Jackson

LHP Oliver Perez

RHP Matt Albers

.170/.248/.277, 4 HRs in 51 games

5.21 ERA with Orioles and Nats

4.64 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 33 innings

1.62 ERA in 61 innings

This isn’t the best time for Lobaton, 33, to enter free agency. He has always been known as a defense-first catcher, but after a particularly dreadful season at the plate, his fouryear run as a backup for the Nationals appears to be over. Pedro Severino likely will partner with Matt Wieters as the club’s catchers. Raudy Read, a September call-up last season, also is waiting in the wings.

He was the Nationals’ choice to replace Joe Ross in the rotation after Ross underwent Tommy John surgery in mid-July. Jackson was effective initially but had an 8.36 ERA in his final six outings. Ross isn’t expected to return until the middle of 2018, so Washington needs a fifth starter. Jackson, 34, might be invited to compete with A.J. Cole and Erick Fedde for a fill-in rotation spot.

His job last season was to get lefties out, and he was good at it, holding left-handed hitters to a .665 OPS and one home run in 73 matchups. But the Nationals have no shortage of lefthanded relievers. Sean Doolittle, Enny Romero, Sammy Solis and Matt Grace all are slated to return in the spring, meaning that the 36-year-old Perez, who made $4 million last season, likely will not.

A nonroster spring training invitee, Albers was the only consistent Nats reliever before the midseason bullpen overhaul. He eventually found himself closing contests and, at 34, notched his first career save in May. Albers won’t have trouble finding a big-league deal this spring, and might even get a multiyear contract, but the Nationals might be reluctant to give him one.

After their big win in Seattle, the Redskins (4-4) face two of their stiffest tests this season. First up, at 1 p.m. Sunday, are the 6-2 Vikings, who are allowing the NFL’s fourth-fewest points per drive (1.48) and have the third-best red-zone defense. Plus, Washington’s crippled line may have trouble keeping end Everson Griffen, below, off Kirk Cousins; Griffen already has 10 sacks. After the Vikings, the Redskins visit the Saints, another 6-2 team. At 38, Drew Brees is still operating at a high level (13 TDs with just four picks), and the Saints’ defense is much improved. New Orleans is yielding 19.4 points per game, tied for ninth in the NFL and far better than the Redskins’ 24.3 points allowed per game. NEIL GREENBERG (TWP)

Ex-ace Halladay dies in plane crash HOLIDAY, FLA. Roy Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award winner who pitched a perfect game and a playoff nohitter, died Tuesday when his private plane crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. He was 40. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said Halladay’s ICON A5 went down around noon off the coast of Florida. The sheriff’s office marine unit responded to the downed plane and found Halladay’s body. No survivors were found. Police said they couldn’t confirm if there were additional passengers on the plane or say where it was headed. Halladay was an amateur pilot who often posted on social media about small planes. ICON aircraft had posted a video with Halladay trying out a new plane.

COMPLIMENTARY OVERCOAT

He retired in 2013 after 12 seasons with the Blue Jays followed by four seasons with the Phillies. Halladay H a l l ad ay, a right-hander, was an eight-time All-Star who was 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA. He threw a perfect game for the Phillies against the Marlins in 2010. In that year’s NLDS, he no-hit the Reds. Other baseball players to die in plane crashes include the Pirates’ Roberto Clemente, during a relief mission to Nicaragua in 1972; the Yankees’ Thurman Munson, who was piloting his own plane near Canton, Ohio, in 1979; and the Yankees’ Cory Lidle, who was piloting his own plane in New York City in 2006.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

Maroon 5 is back to lure everyone in

Wallow in his misery

Singer Sam Smith’s sophomore album, m,, ‘The Thrill of It All,’ is missing all the thrills rillss ALBUM REVIEW Ever since his breakout feature turn on Disclosure’s 2012 hit “Latch,” Sam Smith and fame have uncomfortably coexisted. He sold more than 12 million copies of “In the Lonely Hour,” his 2014 debut. He came out as gay around the time of its release and took extreme care to avoid alienating mainstream fans with overt references to a male love interest, even scrubbing the gender pronouns from a cover of Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know.” He has in turn suffered the affections of a fickle internet, been criticized for things other people would get away with, for incorrectly proclaiming himself the first openly gay person to win an Academy Award (for his Bond theme, “Writing’s on the Wall”), for saying he didn’t like Tinder, for gaining weight, for losing it. Nevertheless, he persisted. “The Thrill of It All,” his sophomore record released Friday, is, like its predecessor, a mournful retro soul album that relies on Smith’s Smith s otherworldly otherworld

voice to o carry the load. ad. Almost ever y s sad, song is but this s voice was built dness. for sadness. ‘The Thrill break Heartbreak of It All’ is where re Sam Sam Smith Smith lives. He’s in love not with love e itself but with its endless opportunities unities for self-abasement and misery. eeker, He is love’s most ardent seeker, its most bereft mourner. He will bludgeon you with it (“Burning,” rning,” with its beautifully over-ther-thetop gospel choir), suffocate you with its earnestness (“Midnight Train,” with its Radiohead circa “Creep” guitars). No house built on such a sublime foundation, buttressed by the horns and gospel choirs of a hundred classic midcentury R&B albums, should be this empty inside. But “The Thrill of It All” is so much of a piece, such a beautiful but monotonous sadgasm, you might not be able to resist building a better Sam Smith album in

your head, to wonder what would have happened if he had had more contemporary reference points. Smith works mostly with his longtime collaborator Jimmy Napes and a handful of songwriting and production vets such as Stargate and Timba-land (the latter on the raise-the-rafters, gospel-inspired ballad “Pray”) and, for better or ill, seems mostly unmoved by their influence. It’s only on the slow-burning ballad “HIM” that the album delivers on the promise implicit in Smith’s voice. Written from the point of view of a young man in Mississippi defending his love for another man to his father, and to his Father (“Don’t you try and tell

me that God doesn’t care for us/ It is him I love”), it’s a moving exploration of the intersection of religion and LGBT issues. It’s a promising indication that Smith is coming into his own. He’s one of the only contemporary pop artists in 2017 who hasn’t abdicated their responsibility to tell the truth about the state of the world. That “The Thrill of It All,” with its tentative but moving use of male pronouns, its quietly defiant songs about faithless boyfriends, its judicious use of the e word “he,” even exists inside the e pop mainstream is a small mira-cle — even if, for now, at least, its s miracles end there. ALLISON STEWARTT

“Red Pill Blues” finds Maroon 5 doing what the band does best: writing well-crafted pop songs that instantly nudge folks to the dance floor. Singer Adam Levine, bleow, co-produced the new album, the group’s sixth, with J Kash. Potential hits include the radioready “Best 4 You” and the flirty “What Lovers Do,” featuring SZA. “Lips on You,” cowritten by Charlie Puth, is a slice of melancholy electronica, while the strummy “Girls Like You” sounds nicely Ed Sheeran-ish. The moody and beautiful “Closure” fittingly wraps the album, letting the band jam with funky textures and riffs. Maroon 5 is firing on all cylinders with “Red Pill Blues,” a work that’s shows off enough versatility to seduce virtually anyone. MARK KENNEDY (AP)

music

The soundtrack of her life

Kelsea Ballerini gets personal on her just-released sophomore record, “Unapologetically,” which tracks how the Knoxville native moved to Nashville at 15, stayed true to her identity and found love. She structured the album into life chapters, starting dark and ending on a high note. Here, the country star offers a glimpse into her story. KRISTIN M. HALL (AP) The breakup

The transition

The love

“Miss Me More” is both parts a Britney Spears-esque breakup song and an anthem to preserving one’s identity in a romantic relationship. “With young love so many times, especially with young girls, we invest everything we can into a relationship, and at the end of it, you really think you’re going to be sad about losing this person or losing the time you spent with them,” Ballerini says. “But you really look in the mirror and you realize you lost yourself and that’s the saddest part.”

“In Between” is one of Ballerini’s most autobiographical songs, as she recounts her shift from a “guitar to a Grammy.” The defining line of the track for Ballerini was, “Sometimes I’m my mother’s daughter and sometimes I’m her friend.” She credits her mom with helping her through important life moments, and the song even ends with a voicemail from her mother. “I sent her the song without it because that was an addition two weeks before the album came out,” Ballerini says. “Oh, gosh, she was so excited.”

The album’s title track, “Unapologetically,” was written weeks after Ballerini met her fiance, Australian-born country singer Morgan Evans. “I always had a rule that I would never ever date an artist,” Ballerini says. “Then life happened.” The love song, in which Evans sings backup vocals, shows Ballerini ready to jump into it despite what others think. “If it’s serious, they are going to say I am too young and they are going to say it’s too fast,” she says. “This is me saying that I don’t care. It’s so freeing to say that.”

MEDIUM

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your ambition is growing, but you can maintain the proper level of realism as you consider what might be possible in the near future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You don’t understand what others are up to — and they certainly don’t understand what you are up to, either. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) An obstacle that is self-inflicted proves difficult to overcome today. Even going around it is all but impossible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you must explain yourself at every turn. Some things are best left to the imagination. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A new idea comes to you through unfamiliar channels, and you may not feel it is appropriate for you to explore it yet.

TUESDAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t take offense at the challenge that is being mounted against you by a rival. You can bet that it’s purely business. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Take care you don’t let others see the tricks of your trade, for right now a fun deception is your most valuable ally. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may unite with someone from afar today to work for a cause that is bigger than both of you. You will want to solicit support.
