Please, no jokes about taking the ‘high’ road. This is a very serious crime.

Knickers the steer is huge on the internet. The 6-foot-4 Holstein Friesian won instant fame after photos surfaced of him standing head and shoulders above a herd of small brown wagyu cattle. Owner Geoff Pearson said Knickers was too big to go to the slaughterhouse. “We have a high turnover of cattle, and he was lucky enough to stay behind,” Pearson said. Knickers, believed to be the tallest steer in Australia, weighs about 1.4 tons. Instead of becoming steaks and burgers, he will live out his life in Pearson’s fields in Lake Preston. (AP)

A giant inflatable Santa got loose and blocked traffic on a British road, snarling traffic for more than three hours. The ornament escaped Tuesday afternoon from a yard in Wesbech, Cambridgeshire, and drifted across Cromwell Road, the BBC reported. “I saw it wobble and then come down onto the road,” Muhammad Fareed, a taxi driver who captured the sadlooking Santa on video, said. “It did raise a smile.” This is a man with a fare box, mind you. Others — who couldn’t move until the Santa was taken away — no doubt felt Scrooged. (TWP)

According to an affidavit, a search of Force and his belongings found 7.39 pounds of marijuana. Force was charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana and felony possession of marijuana.

Potassium with positivity VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. Early each morning, while students who attend Kingston Elementary in Virginia Beach are still asleep, school cafeteria manager Stacey Truman sits down at her desk and picks up a banana. Actually, 60 bananas. Sometimes, bunches more. For the next 45 minutes, Truman patiently writes messages of hope on each banana with a black marker. “Not all those who wander are lost,” she’ll write on one. “If you can dream it, you can achieve it,” she’ll print on another. On she goes, until she’s filled several trays with what students call “talking bananas” — a lunch choice offering both positivity and potassium. Truman, 35, who has worked in Kingston’s cafeteria for nine years, honed her banana-writing skills on messages that she’d tuck into lunchboxes for her two daughters, Mackenzie, 10, and Kayleigh, 7. Last month, she

decided that the kids at Kingston might find the idea appealing as well. “I want them to succeed in life and have an awesome day at school,” she said. “Whenever I can put a smile on all of those little faces, I’ve done my job.” Although only about 10 percent of Kingston’s 540 students put bananas on their trays each day, many more have found Truman’s daily words of wisdom delightful, said the school’s principal, Sharon Shewbridge.

“She’s helped the kids to make healthier choices,” said Shewbridge. “But it’s more than that. Stacey genuinely cares and wants them to know they are loved. What I especially appreciate is that she does this without being directed or asked.” She may be starting a trend, now that Principal Shewbridge has shared photos of Truman’s bananas on Twitter. When the Dole fruit company heard about Truman’s efforts in early November, it delivered 540 bananas to the school — one for every student. On that morning, Truman enlisted help from PTA members and friends to come up with sayings and write them on each banana. “Otherwise, I’d have still been writing when school let out,” she said. Now, kids who bring lunches from home are even coming in with talking bananas from their parents. Always on the lookout for new ways to entice children to select more fruits and vegetables, Truman is now thinking of expanding her produce scribblings. She’s got her eye on citrus. “Why not emoji oranges?” she said. CATHY FREE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Serial killer sheds light on Pr. George’s cold case

SILVER SPRING

Black man arrested after helping drunk neighbor

Samuel Little says 1972 killing is one of among 90 he got away with

WETTEST YEAR EVER

Rainy records already beaten around region MARK ROGERS (ODESSA AMERICAN VIA AP)

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY Since 1972, the case of the woman with no name has haunted Prince George’s County homicide investigators. With only skeletal remains as evidence, they didn’t know where she was from, who she was and how she wound up dead in the woods unnoticed for months before a hunter strolling through the area discovered the bones. But a month ago, cold case detectives in the county caught a break in the case. A 78-year-old prisoner in Texas had begun confessing to dozens and dozens of killings committed between 1970 and 2005, stretching across the country. As Samuel Little described each of the 90 killings he said he committed, one matched the description of the slain Jane Doe found 46 years ago in Laurel, Md. Detectives from Maryland traveled to Texas for an interview. They hoped that one of the most prolific serial killers in history would help them learn the name of Prince George’s longest unidentified homicide victim. Though decades had passed, it appeared Little remembered much in detail. County detectives said Little described the signs he saw, the dirt roads he drove and the

Samuel Little, 78, is now serving back-to-back life sentences in Texas for several killings.

U-turn he took before precisely pinpointing for them where he left the woman’s body. The details all matched what police knew about the site. No charges have been filed in the Maryland death. “Talking with him, you can hear he actually gets excited about describing his homicides and describing how he strangled his victims,” Bernie Nelson, one of the county detectives, said. “He looked you right in your eye and said he couldn’t help himself. He’s a monster.” With each detail Little unfurled during a daylong interview, Prince George’s cold case detectives became confident that they had closed Jane Doe’s case. Now, they’re hoping Little will

help them learn who she was. Prince George’s police are in the process of getting a more specific description of the woman from Little, who has shown to have what appears to be a photographic memory, said Sgt. Greg McDonald, who interviewed Little in Texas with Nelson. “It gives us great hope that she will be identified,” said McDonald. “It gives us a direction to look. It develops more leads to look at.” In the interview room in Texas, Little became excited talking about how he would strangle his victims, Nelson said. “He actually was upset she was not found sooner because he wanted to actually see a picture of her,” Nelson said Little told them.

Scores of cities and towns in the Mid-Atlantic have already clinched their wettest year on record, with a month still remaining in the year. In many locations, the soggiest November on record sealed the deal. Weather watchers in the D.C. area know the city is on the cusp of the wettest year on record. While D.C. is officially less than 1 inch from the high-water mark, Baltimore reached it mid-month and continues to add to its record total. Where has the most precipitation fallen? A co-op in Wilmington, N.C., has logged 105.56 inches this year. Baltimore stands at 65.28 inches, or almost 3 inches ahead of the old record of 62.66 inches in 2003. A rain pattern is expected to kick off December. (TWP)

Officials solve bear mystery

State wildlife officials think they’ve solved a bear problem in Linden, Va. For years, neighbors had complained about bears. Earlier this month, Jeffrey Sylvia was convicted of violating Virginia’s law against feeding bears and was fined $500. A conservation officer wrote that Sylvia said his intent was to protect them from being shot by poachers. Wildlife officials said Sylvia said he had been spending more than $10,000 a year on food for the bears. (AP)

Samir Ahmed said he found a man passed out near his front yard in Silver Spring this month and helped him get home. He returned to find police looking to assist the drunken man. Court documents say an officer then “detected a strong odor of marijuana” from Ahmed, who denied possessing the drug and resisted arrest. Video captured by neighbors shows four officers then searched Ahmed. Police say officers found a small bag of marijuana. Ahmed was arrested on charges including disorderly conduct.

D.C. power grid could move to all renewable energy sources by 2032 THE DISTRICT The D.C. Council on Tuesday gave preliminary approval to legislation that would move the city’s power grid to entirely renewable energy sources by 2032, a goal that places the city in the vanguard of local governments seeking to tackle climate change. The council voted unanimously to advance the bill, which must pass a second vote next month. The measure’s proponents say D.C. is making itself a model for cities and states seeking to reduce carbon emissions

in the face of inaction at the federal level. The legislation approved by the council retained provisions that some environmental activists have criticized — specifically, language that would allow electric utility Pepco Holdings to charge customers more as it enacts energy-efficiency programs as a way to offset revenue lost when ratepayers consume less power. Council member Mary M. Cheh, D-Ward 3, who leads the council’s committee on transportation and the environment and drafted the original bill, said she hopes to address those concerns before the final vote. However, Cheh said such points of contention should not distract

from D.C. lawmakers’ unanimous support for an aggressive package of changes to the city’s energy policy. “The essence of this bill, the importance of this bill, has not been compromised,” Cheh said. “And it’s extraordinary what we’re doing.” Under its current policy, the District aims to get half of its electricity from renewable sources by 2032. The council’s action came four days after the federal government released a report detailing the devastating consequences of global warming caused by human activity, including economic decline and worsening hurricanes, heat waves and wildfires.

FAIRFAX COUNTY A Northern Virginia man pleaded guilty Wednesday to raping and killing a Muslim teenager last year in a case that drew national attention for its brutality toward a young victim who had been walking with friends to earlymorning religious services. The plea deal allows Darwin Martinez-Torres, 25, to avoid a potential death penalty for the June 2017 murder of 17-year-old Nabra Hassanen of Reston. She had been out with a group of friends eating a pre-dawn meal at a fast-food restaurant ahead of Ramadan services. Martinez-Torres was driving by and got into an altercation with the group. Wednesday’s plea deal will mean Martinez-Torres gets life without parole when he is formally sentenced in March. Hassanen’s death attracted widespread attention, and thousands of mourners attended her funeral. There were concerns that her slaying was motivated by anti-Muslim sentiment, but police have said repeatedly they have no evidence of a hate crime.

Democrats back Pelosi in closed-door caucus

Ikea to open smaller stores in city centers ALEX WONG (GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS House Democrats, poised to take control of the chamber next year, met behind closed doors on Wednesday and chose House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Calif., to lead the Democratic caucus. Pelosi’s bid was unopposed, but she may not have the votes to become speaker. The full House, including Republican members, will choose a speaker on Jan. 3. If Democrats win one uncalled race where their candidate is leading, they will have won 235 seats, meaning Pelosi can weather as many as 17 defections. Pelosi won the votes of 203 of the 238 Democrats who voted, according to a leadership aide. Thirty-two members voted no, while three submitted blank ballots. One member, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, N.Y., was absent. The total includes ballots cast by delegates who do not have voting privileges on the House floor, such as at-large delegates from the District of Columbia. Pelosi’s 85-percent vote share on Wednesday was higher than in 2016, when she won 68 percent of the vote in the face of a challenge by Rep. Tim Ryan, Ohio, the aide said. Pelosi addressed reporters as votes were being counted. She

dismissed questions about dissenters within her caucus. “Our diversity is our strength, but our unity is our power, and we will use that power again in a unifying way for our country,”

she said, maintaining that “we’re in pretty good shape” for January’s speaker vote. Democrats also elected Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, N.M., to be assistant Democratic leader, the party’s No. 4 spot in the new Congress. Lujan is chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Rep. James Clyburn, S.C., was elected House majority whip, the third-ranking position in House leadership. Clyburn, 78, faced no opposition for the post. House Democrats selected Rep.

Ikeas are usually out-of-theway, maze-like warehouses that require a car to visit. But the Swedish retail giant plans to open 30 smaller stores in major cities around the world as part of a plan to adapt to changing consumer habits. One such store already open in Warsaw, Poland, is located across two floors in a shopping mall. Shoppers can buy home items and design the layout of a room. Those hoping to buy a bookcase or bed will not find them stocked in a large warehouse, although they can order them at kiosks and have them delivered. Small stores also have opened in major cities such as Madrid and London. The latter location has a new “planning studio” for kitchen and bedroom projects. Next year, smaller stores also are due to open in Paris and Tokyo. (AP)

Fed signals slowing of hikes ECONOMY Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday suggested the central bank could slow the pace of its interest rate increases, saying rates are now just slightly below what he considers a “neutral” level. His comments marked a sharp change from his position last month, when he said the Fed still had a “long way” to go before it reached that equilibrium. U.S. stock markets soared on Powell’s comments, as he appeared to signal that the Fed would not move forward aggressively to raise rates much further than it already has. The Dow Jones industrial average pushed up 618 points, to 25,366, an increase of 2.5 percent, in a surge that erased its November losses and put it back in positive territory for 2018. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index climbed 2.3 percent, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 3 percent. Though Powell’s comments were markedly different from his characterization of Fed policy last month, he still left ample room for the Fed to continue raising rates multiple times depending on the economy’s performance. Investors have overreacted to relatively nuanced comments from Powell in the past, and it is possible some misread his comments by believing he was

Powell sends markets soaring with suggestion rates are near ‘neutral’

telegraphing an end to interest rate increases. By saying rates were slightly lower than the level he perceives as “neutral,” Powell’s statement appears to be suggesting at least one more interest rate increase is coming in the near future. Powell’s comments appear to implicitly reject arguments from President Trump that past interest rate increases have been a mistake. The chairman has repeatedly asserted the Fed’s

independence, and there was no sign Wednesday’s suggestion that the central bank may slow the pace of rate hikes is related to Trump’s criticisms. “Interest rates are still low by historical standards, and they remain just below the broad range of estimates of the level that would be neutral for the economy, that is, neither speeding up nor slowing down growth,” Powell told the Economic Club of New York. Powell said his Fed colleagues

and many other economists “are forecasting continued solid growth, low unemployment and inflation near 2 percent.” The Fed has already raised a key interest rate three times this year and is expected to raise the rate again next month. Powell didn’t specifically cite the criticism he has faced from the White House, but he defended the Fed’s recent moves and said “there is no preset policy path.” “Our gradual pace of raising interest rates has been an exercise in balancing risks,” Powell said. “We know that moving too fast would risk shortening the expansion. We also know that moving too slowly — keeping interest rates too low for too long — could risk other distortions in the form of higher inflation or destabilizing financial imbalances. Our path of gradual increases has been designed to balance these two risks, both of which we must take seriously.” Trump has criticized Powell in recent weeks, as the president has blamed the central bank chief for raising interest rates in a way that Trump says has unsettled the stock market. It is very unusual for a president to criticize the Fed, which is supposed to operate independent of politics. “I’m not happy with the Fed,” Trump told The Washington Post on Tuesday. “They’re making a mistake because I have a gut and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else’s brain can ever tell me.” DAMIAN PALETTA AND THOMAS HEATH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Republican wins racially charged runoff in Miss. MISSISSIPPI Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith returns to Washington as a solidly loyal supporter of President Trump after he stumped for her in a divisive Mississippi runoff shaped by her video-recorded remark about a “public hanging.” Hyde-Smith on Tuesday defeated Democrat Mike Espy, a former congressman and former U.S. agriculture secretary who was trying to become the state’s first African-American senator since Reconstruction. HydeSmith received about 54 percent of the vote to Espy’s 46 percent. The election was rocked by the video, in which Hyde-Smith, who is white, said of a supporter, “If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.” A separate video showed her talking about “liberal folks” and making it “just a little more difficult” for them to vote. Her comments, and the backlash to them, made Mississippi’s history of lynchings and violent suppression of black voting rights a theme of the runoff and spurred many black voters to return to the polls. Hyde-Smith was in her second term as Mississippi agriculture commissioner when Gov. Phil Bryant, R, appointed her to temporarily succeed GOP Sen. Thad Cochran. The longtime lawmaker retired in April amid health concerns. Tuesday’s win makes her the first woman elected to Congress from Mississippi. EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS (AP)

A rebuke to Trump, Saudis With bipartisan vote, Senate shows outrage over Khashoggi’s death WASHINGTON Defying President Trump, senators sent a strong signal Wednesday that they want to punish Saudi Arabia for its role in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. By a bipartisan 63-37 vote, the Senate opted to move forward with legislation calling for an end to U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen. The vote was a rebuke not only to Saudi Arabia but also to Trump’s administration, which has made clear it does not want to torpedo the U.S. relationship with Riyadh over the killing.

CHECK MATE

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defense James Mattis both came to Capitol Hill to urgently lobby against the resolution, which would call for an end to U.S. military assistance for the conflict that human rights advocates say is wreaking havoc on Yemen and subjecting civilians to indiscriminate bombing. The vote showed a significant number of Republicans were willing to break with Trump to express their deep dissatisfaction with Saudi Arabia and with the U.S. response to Khashoggi’s brutal killing in Turkey last month. U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, must have at least known of the plot, but Trump has hedged over

Mattis Pompeo who is to blame. Khashoggi, who lived in the U.S. and wrote for The Washington Post, was publicly critical of Salman. He was killed in what U.S. officials have described as an elaborate plot at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, which he had visited for marriage paperwork. Echoing Trump, Pompeo said after Wednesday’s briefing with senators that there was “no direct reporting” connecting the crown prince to the murder, and Mattis said there was “no smoking gun.”

Several senators said they were angry about the absence of CIA Director Gina Haspel from the pre-vote briefing. New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, speculated that Haspel didn’t attend because she “would have said with a high degree of confidence that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was involved in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who is often strongly allied with Trump, said he would insist on a briefing from Haspel. He even threatened to withhold his vote on key measures if that didn’t happen, declaring, “I’m not going to blow past this.” MARY CLARE JALONICK

ECONOMY Leaving the European Union without a divorce deal could plunge Britain into its deepest recession in nearly a century, with the economy shrinking 8 percent within months as unemployment and inflation soar, the Bank of England warned Wednesday. The stark projection came the same day the government’s own economists said the country will be poorer after Brexit than if it had stayed in the EU, no matter what sort of trade deal it secures. Britain and the EU have agreed on a deal for the U.K.’s exit in March, but British lawmakers are threatening to derail it. The central bank predicted that in a no-deal scenario — with tariffs and other trade barriers, and no transition period to help businesses adapt — inflation would rise to almost 7 percent, unemployment would soar to 7.5 percent from 4.1 percent now, and the pound would fall to near parity with the dollar. The government assessment released Wednesday estimated that a no-deal Brexit would leave the British economy up to 9.3 percent smaller after 15 years than if the country had remained in the EU. Even if Britain and the EU maintain close relations, GDP will be 0.6 percent lower than it otherwise would have been. British Prime Minister Theresa May painted that as good news — that her Brexit agreement “is the best deal available.” JILL LAWLESS AND PAN PYLAS (AP)

mind of Donald Trump. At a minimum, he is erratic and clearly doesn’t like the war.” In a Washington Post interview Tuesday, Trump called the latest deaths “very sad” and said he was keeping troops there only because “experts” told him it was necessary. Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, ended the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan in 2014 with the aim of compelling the Afghans to provide for their own defense. Trump came to the White House having called the war a waste, but in August 2017 he announced he was recommitting U.S. forces to winning in Afghanistan while revealing that his first instinct had been to pull the plug. Over several months, the Pentagon sent an additional 3,500 troops and changed the way it advises Afghan forces. There are now about 15,000 U.S. troops in the country.

EDUCATION A consumer group led by people who quit the Trump administration is forming in hopes of serving as a check on the student loan industry. The nonprofit Student Borrower Protection Center aims to expand borrower protections and oversight of the $1.5 trillion student loan market. Its executive director is Seth Frotman, who resigned in August from a senior position at the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. When he stepped down, Frotman asserted that the Trump administration was siding with predatory lenders over consumers and enacting policies that will lead to “far-reaching harm.” Two others from his office also quit in protest and are joining Frotman at the new venture. The new center plans to encourage states and cities to step up enforcement actions against loan-servicing companies, debt collectors, for-profit schools and private student lenders. “One of the reasons why we are in the midst of a student debt crisis is for years, too many have looked to Washington to solve this problem,” Frotman said. “I think the lessons of the last decade is that Washington has not and will not solve it.” The center has funding from the Sandler Foundation, which supports liberal causes.

AFGHANISTAN A rash of American combat deaths in Afghanistan is putting a spotlight on a stalemated 17year war that is testing President Trump’s commitment to pursuing peace with the Taliban. Trump has acknowledged that his original instinct was to withdraw from Afghanistan, but last week he suggested he is willing to stick it out, asserting that the United States is in “very strong negotiations” — an apparent reference to U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad’s efforts to get the Taliban to agree to peace talks. On the other hand, Trump indicated he had little confidence the talks are going to succeed. “Maybe they’re not. Probably they’re not,” he said. The human cost of the conflict rarely makes headlines in the U.S., leaving Trump with political room to maneuver. But that might be changing. In early November, Brent Taylor, the mayor of North Ogden, Utah, and a major in the Utah National Guard, was killed by an Afghan soldier in Kabul. Last Saturday, Sgt. Leandro Jasso, a 25-year-old Army Ranger from Leavenworth, Wash., was mortally wounded in southern Afghanistan. On Tuesday, U.S. officials said they had determined that Jasso probably was accidentally shot by an Afghan soldier during battle with an al-Qaeda fighter. The U.S. military headquarters in Kabul announced Tuesday that three U.S. service members were killed and three wounded by a roadside bomb in Ghazni province, south of Kabul, where the Taliban has been resurgent. It was the deadliest attack on U.S. forces in Afghanistan this year. The Taliban, which ruled Afghanistan before U.S. forces invaded in October 2001, carry

out near-daily attacks on Afghan army and police forces, and in August the insurgents overran parts of Ghazni, leading to days of intense fighting before they were driven out. Ghazni was the only one of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces where parliamentary elections could not be held in October because of security worries. Voting there has been postponed for a year. Stephen Biddle, a professor of international and public affairs at Columbia University who has closely tracked the war from its beginning, said little that has happened in Afghanistan in recent years has grabbed the American public’s attention, including a death toll since 2001 that now exceeds 2,400. “The war hasn’t produced torchlit marches on the Pentagon or for that matter any meaningful effect on any election campaign,” Biddle said. “What [the uptick in casualties] could do is change the

Provincial officials said at least 30 civilians were killed, along with 16 Taliban fighters, during the overnight battle between Afghan government forces and insurgents.

THREE POINTERS

Redskins get grades

JERRY BREWER | THE WASHINGTON POST

Redskins’ shame: Ne’er-do-well club fumbles decision For many reasons, Washington should have been hesitant. But it was too busy salivating. Foster, a troubled young man, is also a rare, agile, sideline-tosideline inside linebacker who could help a defense that needs his athleticism, his knack for erasing mistakes with his speed and versatility. Instead of waiting for Foster to clear waivers and become a free agent, instead of waiting to fully investigate his latest arrest, his history of transgressions and his potential NFL discipline, your favorite ne’erdo-well franchise did what it often does: the wrong thing. It looked at Foster for his value as a player, not for the signs that indicate a lack of character as a person. Bad dude? Maybe, but what if he’s redeemable? Then the team would have a high-level talent in just the second season of a four-year, $9 million rookie contract that includes an option for a fifth season. That’s a cheap deal for a linebacker who can make 100 tackles a season. But the hidden costs are extreme: image, integrity, public trust. The Redskins knew this decision would get them roasted, which is why they quickly released a statement from general manager Doug Williams after the news broke. The statement sought to tamp down the notion that Foster would quickly take the

The Redskins don’t condone domestic violence. They just refuse to let it stop them from acquiring a talented player. In a league full of franchises with wobbly morals, only one team dared to make a waiver claim Tuesday on former 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster. For the rest of the NFL, the risk was too great, the player’s history too troubling, the latest accusation too disturbing. But where the competition recognized the need for caution, Washington saw opportunity. On Saturday, Foster had been arrested in Tampa, Fla., on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. The 49ers released him Sunday. It was his second domestic abuse incident involving the same woman. She recanted the previous charge in court in May. In less than two NFL seasons, Foster, 24, has stayed in trouble. His legal transgressions include being arrested for a misdemeanor weapons charge and misdemeanor marijuana possession. As a prospect at the 2017 scouting combine — the most important job interview of his life — Foster got into an altercation with a hospital employee and reportedly failed a drug test because of a diluted sample.

With the Redskins entering their last five games of the regular season, here is a look at who has performed best, based on grading (scale of 0 to 100) by Pro Football Focus.

An NFL official told The Washington Post that Redskins President Bruce Allen, right, masterminded the far-from-unanimous decision to claim Foster. And yet the team’s statement was attributed to Doug Williams.

Foster ineligible for now After the Redskins claimed linebacker Reuben Foster on Tuesday, the NFL put him on the commissioner’s exempt list pending a league investigation into a domestic violence charge against him. That means it’s unlikely he will play for the Redskins this season. Players on the list are not allowed to attend practices or play in games, but they can be at a team’s facility for meetings, rehabilitation and other activities. (TWP)

counseling, “before he will ever have the opportunity to wear the Burgundy and Gold.” You can’t pretend to be righteous and still make this move. Don’t capitalize “burgundy” and “gold.” Don’t act like playing for this franchise means something special now, because a man can be accused of slapping a woman with an open hand and then be welcomed to your team 72 hours later. Thirty other teams saw the risks of claiming Foster so quickly. Only the Redskins saw a chance to cut the line, get a gifted linebacker and cross one item off their teambuilding wish list.

He has missed just two tackles on 67 attempts. And he has surrendered a passer rating of only 82.4, well under his position average.

2 Best on offense LT Trent Williams (77.6)

He has yielded just one sack this year and didn’t give up any in 2017, one of the NFL’s best rates. Run blocking remains a strength, too.

1 Best on defense Safety D.J. Swearinger (89.9)

He’s reliable and also makes big plays with four INTs and three forced fumbles. On just 13 blitzes, he has five total pressures and two sacks.

One playoff spot up for grabs Oklahoma, Ohio State hope to squeeze into the final four Dec. 29

Terps expected to interview Tide’s Locksley GETTY IMAGES

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Oklahoma is on the doorstep of the College Football Playoff. The Sooners were No. 5 in the pivotal second-to-last College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday night, ahead of Ohio State heading into championship weekend, when the final four will be set. The biggest question facing the selection committee this week was how much to value Ohio State’s 62-39 blowout of Michigan on Saturday. The answer: The Buckeyes moved up four spots but were still stuck behind the Sooners. “I really don’t have a measurement for closeness,” selection committee chairman Rob Mullens said when asked what separated Ohio State and Oklahoma. Mullens cited Oklahoma’s historic offense. The Sooners are on pace to set an FBS record for yards per play, averaging 8.92. “While their defense has been a challenge, their offense has been superior,” Mullens said. The top three teams in the selection committee’s rankings held steady for a fourth straight week.

Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame — all unbeaten — are Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Georgia moved into the fourth spot — previously

occupied by Michigan — heading into its SEC championship game against Alabama (4 p.m. Saturday, CBS). It’s a given that the SEC winner makes the playoff. Maybe the loser, too. Notre Dame is already in the clubhouse at 12-0 and Clemson faces Pittsburgh in the ACC championship game (8 p.m. Saturday, ABC). That leaves one spot very much in play. Ohio State faces Northwestern (8-4) in the Big Ten championship (8 p.m. Saturday, Fox), and Oklahoma rematches Texas (9-3) in the Big 12 title game (noon Saturday, ABC). T he L onghor ns h a nded the Sooners thei r only

regular-season loss in October. Ohio State’s lone loss was by 29 points at Purdue. C a n the Buckeyes vault past the Sooners if both win Saturday? There is some precedent. In 2014, Ohio State beat Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big Ten championship game and jumped from sixth to fourth, passing co-Big 12 champions Baylor and TCU. The Buckeyes might need a similar performance to have a shot this time. The national semifinals will be Dec. 29 in the Cotton Bowl and Orange Bowl.

MARYLAND Alabama offensive coordinator Mike Locksley — who previously held the same position at Maryland — is expected to interview for the Terrapins’ head-coaching vacancy after the Crimson Tide plays in the SEC championship game Saturday, according to multiple people close to the program. Interim coach Matt Canada interviewed for the job this week, according to a person familiar with the situation. Locksley, 48, is a Washington native and has been the Terrapins’ running backs coach (1997-2002) and offensive coordinator (2012-15). He was 1-5 as interim head coach in 2015 after the firing of Randy Edsall. After that season, Maryland passed over Locksley to be head coach in favor of DJ Durkin, who was fired a month ago after spending the early part of this season on administrative leave. Because of Locksley’s local ties and success recruiting in this area, he has support from many stakeholders. But in his only other head-coaching stint, at New Mexico, he was 2-26 and had off-the-field issues. In 2009, an ex-administrative assistant at New Mexico filed an age and sex discrimination complaint against him. It was later withdrawn. Locksley was suspended for 10 days without pay later in 2009 for punching one of his assistant coaches. EMILY GIAMBALVO AND ROMAN STUBBS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Adam Schiff go, because he’s busy and has a lot of work to do and I don’t want to take up a lot of his time, and I feel like that’s giving of me. So I would go over to Labyrinth and buy a puzzle. Puzzles are a really big part of my green room backstage in theaters in D.C. When you enter Eastern Market, straight ahead there’s the first deli counter. They make the best chicken salad in the history of the United States — and I’ve tried chicken salad in a lot of towns and cities around the country. I would get a big ol’ tub of that and just eat it with some rice crackers.

SIGNATURE THEATRE

Eisenhower Theater

Nancy Anderson ACTOR

Nancy Anderson doesn’t spend much time fixating on her role in Signature’s Theatre’s production of the musical “Billy Elliot,” running through Jan. 6. As Mrs. Wilkinson, 11-year-old Billy’s coarse but compassionate ballet teacher, the actress finds herself more absorbed by her youthful castmates. “When you’ve got a whole backstage full of kids, you stop thinking about yourself,” says Anderson, 46. “I find I’m much more interested in engaging with these kids.” The child actors could have a worse mentor than Anderson, whose résumé includes a 2002 Olivier Award nomination for “Kiss Me, Kate” in London and a stint last year as Glenn Close’s understudy for “Sunset Boulevard” on Broadway. Though currently based in Brooklyn, Anderson is a veteran of the D.C. theater scene who finds herself in the process of relocating to the Shenandoah Valley. Her dream day here is a distinctly D.C. experience, featuring historic excursions and a politically themed coffee date. I would start in Eastern Market at Peregrine Espresso, and I would have a coffee with [U.S. Rep.] Adam Schiff. He’s my secret boyfriend, but don’t tell my husband [American Shakespeare Center artistic director Ethan McSweeny]. So we would talk politics in the morning. I’m

talking not morning, morning — I’m talking like 10 o’clock. It’s going to take a little while to get myself together because if I’m going to get coffee with Adam Schiff, then I have to look good — casual, but good. Then I would probably let

Then I’d go to a Capital Bikeshare and ride my bike from Eastern Market all the way down the Mall and to the Jefferson Memorial, which has always been my favorite memorial since I was a little kid. I would take the Metro or Uber to go up and visit my in-laws [in Northwest] and take their dog, Nicolette, for a walk. They like to take her to Battery Kemble Park, which I love. I’d like to have my husband there — that would be nice, and would probably make him feel better after my date with Adam Schiff. I wouldn’t want him to get too jealous. My husband and I would then go to Sushi Taro on 17th, which is fantastic. When I was first working down here, I was doing a show called “By Jeeves” at the Kennedy Center and I was really into Irish music, and on Monday nights Nanny O’Briens has a really good ceili session. So then I’d go there. Next, I would do a late-night tour of the Lincoln Memorial. And then — I’ve never done this before, but this is my dream — you can rent the Lockkeeper’s House down on the [C&O] Canal to stay overnight. So I would end the day by doing my puzzle at the Lockkeeper’s House. AS TOLD TO THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

‘Indecent’s’ kiss isn’t just a kiss

The kissing partners in “Indecent” (Susan Lynskey, left, and Emily Shackelford) don’t mind a little rain.

STAGE There’s a rain-soaked scene in “Indecent” that looms over the play, appropriately enough, like an impending storm. Paula Vogel’s 2015 fact-based play follows a theater company as it prepares a 1923 Broadway production of playwright Sholem Asch’s “God of Vengeance,” a provocative Yiddish drama about two women’s sexual awakening that, on the show’s opening night, leads police to arrest the cast on obscenity charges. The primary source of controversy: a scene featuring a passionate kiss in a downpour between the two women — a prostitute and the daughter of a brothel owner. Versions of the sequence are rehearsed and discussed throughout “Indecent,” which runs at Arena Stage through Dec. 30. Eventually, rainwater spills from the rafters and the scene from the play-within-the-play is staged in full. “It’s not just beautiful because water comes out of the sky, which is theater magic at its best,” says Susan Lynskey, who plays Halina, the actor playing the prostitute. “It’s beautiful because it represents love and tenderness and joy.” The fully realized version of the scene lasts all of 40 seconds. For the technical team at Arena Stage, though, getting that sequence right necessitated weeks of trial and error, in collaboration with director Eric Rosen and set designer Jack Magaw. It wasn’t

until Nov. 21, two days before the first performance, that the actors rehearsed with the finished rain effect for the first time. “It should blow the audience away,” “Indecent” technical director Natalie Bell says. “It’s important to be able to do whatever we can to make that moment right, and try to realize the director’s and the designer’s vision.” To create the rain effect, the crew built a showerhead-like apparatus out of plexiglass that is connected to Arena Stage’s tapwater supply. After scrapping the first three designs, they landed on a version in which the water filters through a window screen, spreading the steady stream to create a more rain-like pattern. The rain covers just a few feet onstage, engulfing the two actors but little more. Once the water hits the stage, it is drained through small holes drilled into the surface — which has been given a waterproof coating — and funneled to a spot beneath a center-stage hatch. “Every single change that we’ve made along the way has gotten it to look more and more realistic and gotten it to drain more efficiently,” Bell says. “It’s all of those little tweaks that really add up to making the effect look the right way.” The crew also installed a heater to keep the water at a comfortable temperature for the actors. Following the scene, Lynskey and co-star Emily Shackelford are greeted backstage

The staff members use a fan to finish drying the surface, and within 20 minutes the stage is ready for the next performance. The cast and crew hope audiences won’t fixate on any of those details, though, and will instead get swept up in that bit

of “theater magic.” “We believe that it is a spring rain caressing these two women who are falling in love, because we all worked together to create this illusion, which, when you have faith and belief, becomes absolute truth,” Lynskey says. “For an artist, that’s the reason to do it.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

Former Iranian Embassy

Here’s the D.C. you probably don’t see Underneath, or next to, or just a little out of the way from all the iconic places in D.C. are the hidden gems — the spaces that many of us never get to see. In their new book “No Access Washington, DC,” Beth Kanter and photographer Emily Pearl Goodstein curate a tour of the city’s little-known haunts, like the cavernous, graffiti-ridden basement underneath the Lincoln Memorial and the Finnish Embassy’s invite-only sauna. “I really think of it as a love letter to D.C. and the people who live here,” says Kanter, who’s called the city home since 1991. “So many good people here are part of these places, and part of preserving and maintaining them — often with little or no recognition.” Here are a handful of the 45 hidden treasures profiled in the book, which Kanter and Goodstein will discuss on Monday at Sixth & I. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Sixth and I, 600 I St. NW; Mon., 7 p.m., $12 ($30 including book).

Most people who stream past the former Iranian Embassy on Massachusetts Avenue have no idea it was abruptly shuttered in 1979 and now “stands frozen in time.” Kanter spoke with photographer Eric Parnes, one of the few people who’s been inside the building since it was sealed off when the U.S. and Iran ended diplomatic relations, and he described it as a tomb. But in its former life, in the 1960s and ’70s, the embassy “was known for these parties that would last into the night, with the champagne flowing,” Kanter says. “It had these elegant, beautiful rooms with gorgeous interiors, and there was a fountain in the courtyard that looked magnificent.” The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations requires the U.S. to maintain the property, so snow is removed and the grass is cut, Kanter says, but presumably “nothing has been done in the interior” since it closed.

‘Mini Mon’ “Oh, this one is wild,” Kanter says of the miniature Washington Monument that’s tucked underground just 150 feet south of the real deal. She and Goodstein affectionately dubbed the concrete replica “Mini Mon,” but it’s officially called the Elevation Obelisk. In 1898, the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey installed the benchmark to help gauge how much the monument was settling into the ground; it’s 13½ feet tall and 3 feet wide at its base, and it’s now concealed by a manhole cover that hundreds of visitors likely stomp over every day. During her research, Kanter discovered a decades-old newspaper photo of “two women picking up the cover of the utility hole themselves, and peering inside.” She laughs as she recalls the image, noting: “Obviously, now it’s under lock and key.”

Lincoln Memorial undercroft Underneath the popular monument, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a three-story, 43,800-squarefoot basement that Kanter describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hogwarts meets Luray Caverns with a dash of deconstructed cathedral kind of vibe.â&#x20AC;? Though she was vaguely familiar with the undercroft before actually exploring it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no sense of how truly majestic it is,â&#x20AC;? Kanter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge, and incredibly quiet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a metaphor for the whole book, looking at whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holding up some of D.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most iconic places.â&#x20AC;? She was particularly wowed by the vintage graffiti, etched into the concrete walls by the construction workers who spent eight years building the memorial, starting in 1914. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The aesthetic matches the time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; big moustaches and bowler hats, a woman smoking a long cigarette. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite artistic.â&#x20AC;? The undercroft is closed to visitors, but the National Park Service is considering plans that would open it to the public for tours.

Garuda Aviary

Embassy of Finlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sauna

In rural Poolesville, Md., 30-odd miles outside D.C., thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Buddhist temple and monastery where one might reasonably expect serenity. But on approach, the sharp shrieks of 50 or so parrots pierce the silence. Garuda Aviary, on the campus of the Kunzang Palyul Choling Buddhist Temple, takes in neglected, abused and abandoned parrots â&#x20AC;&#x201D; typically surrendered by people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how complicated raising the birds can be, Kanter says. Many of the parrots suffer from an anxiety disorder that causes them to pull out their feathers, leading to blood loss, nerve damage and other health problems. The aviaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x153;take care of them and keep them for life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and parrots live a long time, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big commitment,â&#x20AC;? Kanter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met one who was 50 years old.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hottest invitation in town,â&#x20AC;? Kanter says, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not kidding: Once a month, the Embassy of Finland invites a handpicked group into its ground-level sauna. The gathering pays homage to the Finnish tradition to use a sauna at least once a week beginning in toddlerhood; most homes in Finland have them, and in the past, Finnish women even gave birth in the hot chambers. The embassyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diplomatic Sauna Society hosts the Friday night celebrations, which often last past midnight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful lounge and a bar with signature cocktails,â&#x20AC;? Kanter says, and upon departure, attendees receive a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sauna diplomaâ&#x20AC;? commemorating their unique experience. While the embassy wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal exactly whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participated, the invite list has included big-name musicians, writers and Hill staffers.

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

“Is It True What They Say About Freemasonry?” That question was on my mind even before I saw a book with that title lying open on a table at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. This lesserknown monument to Washington and museum of Freemason history is a modest tower in Alexandria — only 333 feet tall compared with the Washington Monument’s 555. It’s not that old — ground was broken for it in 1922 and it wasn’t completed until the 1970s — and, unlike D.C.’s many free attractions, the Masonic memorial costs $15 to visit, so I wasn’t surprised that I was the only person on the 9:30 a.m. tour one recent Monday. “Is it usually pretty quiet here?” I asked the person checking me in, who later turned out to be my tour guide. “It can get pretty busy in the summer,” he replied. In warm months, busloads of Masons visit the memorial, he said. “I must admit, I don’t know much about Freemasons,” I said, which prompted my guide to launch into a short history of the group. “It’s basically a fraternal organization,” he concluded. “They do a lot of service and charity work.” “Oh, so it’s like the Rotary

Club, but with costumes and secret handshakes,” I said. We were standing in the memorial’s great hall, an impressive columned space featuring a giant bronze statue of George Washington. Washington, my guide said, was a Freemason, as were many Revolutionary War soldiers. Then he pointed out another image of Washington on a mural on the wall of the Grand Hall, showing the president at the laying of the U.S. Capitol cornerstone. “Remember that trowel, because we’re going to see the real one next,” he said. In a room adjacent to the main hall, we found it. “This ceremonial trowel was also used in the laying of the cornerstone of the Supreme Court and this building,” my guide said. That struck me as pretty nifty — especially since the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center only has a replica of this trowel on display. As it turns out, the Masonic memorial has an impressive collection of George Washington artifacts. By the time I left, I’d seen a Washington family Bible, a chair owned by the president, a (rather unflattering) portrait made during his lifetime, and the watch his physician used to mark the time of his death. The memorial also houses a museum of Masonic history, and we’d just arrived on a floor devoted to that when a

muffled voice emanated from my guide’s walkie-talkie. He rushed off to fetch a late-arriving tourist, leaving me alone in a room full of creepy mannequins attired in the costumes of various Freemason subgroups and affiliated societies, including Shriners’ fezzes, Arabiclooking turbans, militaristic uniforms and one costume with a jeweled breastplate, an imitation of vestments worn by ancient Israelite priests. I found this to be a fascinating glimpse into a less-woke era, but I was disappointed that I couldn’t find any explanatory text about why these groups of (I imagine) white men wore Middle Eastern-ish garb, and whether similar costumes are still used today. Scattered around the mannequins were displays of random club ephemera — plus a few inexplicable objects, including a jaunty bobblehead doll of the controversial Christian figure Jacques de Molay, a monk who fought in the Crusades and was later sentenced to death.

Pro tip: Sign up for one of the daily tours to see the whole tower. De Molay’s medieval order, the Knights Templar, inspired the modern-day Knights Templar — a Christian-focused subgroup of Freemasons, my guide explained after returning with a mysterious man in a trenchcoat. I asked trenchcoat man what brought him to the Masonic memorial, and he said he was in D.C. for meetings and had only a few hours to look around. That struck me as an unconvincing story: If you’re in downtown D.C. for meetings, why schlep to Alexandria to see a little-known memorial? “I bet he’s a Mason,” I whispered to the guide. (Masons are famously shy about admitting they’re Masons, which only adds to the mystique.) If I’m right, he’s an increasingly rare breed. Freemason

membership has been in decline since the 1960s, according to a chart on display in the museum’s basement. “Civic life declined as people spent more time alone in front of a television or computer screen,” the accompanying text explains. Fair enough, but I’m betting that the Masons’ fraught racial history and continued exclusion of women have also contributed to their diminishing relevance. I mention this because the Masonic memorial may be on its way to becoming just that: a memorial to a bygone organization, where powerful men once gathered to socialize, plan charitable work and wear Orientalist costumes. Perhaps a lot of this is best left in the past, but it seems to me — a person who spends way too much time alone, in front of a computer — that there’s something here worth bringing into the future.

TERESA CASTRACANE JATI LINDSAY

TIMOTHY SCHMIDT

The all-women comedy revue “She the People” changes as necessary to keep up with the news.

The Second City is all over town D.C.’s become a home away from home for the comedy troupe STAGE When Woolly Mammoth Theatre first welcomed The Second City in 2009 for the political romp “Barack Stars,” director Marc Warzecha quickly realized the Chicago-based comedy troupe had found itself a willing scene partner in D.C. audiences. The production featured some “best of” Second City sketches

that had “played well everywhere,” Warzecha recalls. But in the heart of Washington, at a venue lawmakers, aides and lobbyists could stroll to after a day on Capitol Hill? There, those sketches struck a chord. “The D.C. audience was so sharp, and so on top of every little reference we would make politically,” Warzecha says. “That was really fun and really rewarding. When you look at the history of The Second City, it was in part founded to be a politically and socially satiric institution. I

“[Second City] was in part founded to be a politically and socially satiric institution. I think that’s a good marriage for Washington, D.C.” MARC WARZECHA, a writer, director and performer with The Second City, on the comedy troupe’s compatibility with the District

think that’s a good marriage for Washington, D.C.” Although The Second City — famed for molding the likes of Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert — has permanent theaters only in Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto, a comedy fan could be forgiven next month for thinking the 59-year-old troupe was “yes, and”-ing its way to a fourth residence in D.C. For the third straight year, both Woolly Mammoth and the Kennedy Center will house

Second City productions throughout December. At Woolly, the feminist revue “She the People” will kick off Monday to celebrate a decade of Second City imports at the intimate theater. A day later, the Kennedy Center’s Theater Lab will debut the world-premiere holiday parody “Love, Factually” — co-written by Warzecha — as part of a new, formal partnership with The Second City. “D.C. is considered to be a ‘serious’ place where serious things happen,” “She the People”

director Carly Heffernan says. “So to have an outlet where you can find that cathartic, comedic release? I think it’s so important for a D.C. audience.” The past two holiday seasons, the Kennedy Center has hosted the Warzecha-directed “Twist Your Dickens,” a Second City production that had already been staged elsewhere. The venue upped the ante in March by announcing an official alliance through at least 2020, in which the two parties agreed to cocommission six original shows for Kennedy Center audiences. “When you can only see those shows here, that’s the type of reward and excitement that stems from the core of this partnership,” says Jeffrey Finn, the Kennedy Center’s vice president of theater producing and programming. “Love, Factually” is the second product of the collaboration, which also birthed the millennial-roasting satire “Generation Gap” this past summer. In spoofing the 2003 film “Love Actually,” writers hope their partially ad-libbed show delivers a spirited take on the much-parodied holiday favorite while also proving accessible for attendees who haven’t seen the movie. “There are certain memorable moments from the film that we felt like we absolutely wanted to

“Twist Your Dickens” visited the District for a couple of Christmases past.

parody and to satirize, but we wanted to look for our own original takes on those moments,” Warzecha says. “Part of the way we hope we’ve accomplished that is including improvisation.”

That’s not to say the script wasn’t painstakingly crafted: Co-writers Warzecha, Nancy Hayden and Damon Royster spent the past year workshopping the show while fielding feedback

from producers at both the Kennedy Center and The Second City. “She the People,” on the other hand, is an established Second City show that premiered in 2017 in Chicago and began a run in Toronto this past August. While the Kennedy Center is catering to the holiday spirit with “Love, Factually,” Woolly’s production of “She the People” provides more politically topical counterprogramming. Written and performed entirely by women, with an all-female crew, the production turns a cathartic and comedic eye toward topics such as body image, motherhood and the #MeToo movement. As the news cycle evolves, so does the show. “It does what we have always done at the satirical institution of Second City, which is look at the world around you and put that onstage,” says Heffernan, who’s also directed the show in Chicago and Toronto. “But this does it with an authentic female voice. These are POVs and observations made by women, written by women and then performed by women.” In collaborating with the two D.C. venues, The Second City worked to find concepts that would connect with audiences here and were tailored to the sensibilities of each theater. “She the People” proved to be a natural fit for the experimental

Woolly Mammoth, while “Love, Factually” satisfied the Kennedy Center’s desire to put on a holiday-themed show with generation-spanning appeal. “When you get to the bottom of what each entity is looking for, it automatically lends itself to two very different kinds of shows,” says Jen Hoyt, The Second City’s vice president of production. But “Love, Factually” and “She the People” both follow the tried-and-tested Second City revue formula (also seen locally in recent years at Wolf Trap and the Arlington Drafthouse), in which written sketches are blended with improvised segments and calls for audience participation. And the shows share The Second City’s offbeat voice, which has been increasingly amplified in D.C. “It’s a city that wants to be on the cutting edge, always looking forward,” Heffernan says. “That aligns really well with Second City. That’s what we want to be putting on our stages as well, and that’s the messaging we want to be sending to our audiences.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

It’s the most cliched time of the year TELEVISION Have you heard the one about the girl who didn’t care about Christmas but found herself in a small town for the holidays surrounded by decorations, cookies and carolers, and found a new boyfriend and her Christmas spirit by Dec. 25? Hallmark Channel has, and it’s airing 22 original movies this year built around plots similar to that. The premise may vary, but the themes are the same and Hallmark is very OK with that. “When you meet our two leads in the first 10 minutes of a Hallmark movie, it’s guaranteed that they will end up together,” says Michelle Vicary, the executive vice president of programming for Crown Media Family Networks. While regular network primetime programming tends to take a hiatus during the holiday season, it’s Hallmark Channel’s time to shine. Their holiday movies are so popular, they begin airing Christmas movies Oct. 26 and wrap up Jan. 1. Hallmark sells shirts that say, “All I want to do is drink hot cocoa and watch Hallmark

Channel.” This year there’s also an app called Countdown to Christmas to keep track of the programming on Hallmark Channel and its sister channel, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries (which offers more spiritual fare). There’s an option to set alerts on your phone and add the movie start times to your calendar. On launch day, it had 140,000 downloads. This year, Hallmark Channel has films starring LeAnn Rimes, Kellie Pickler and Patti LaBelle, but the network also features recurring actresses, dubbed the “Christmas queens” internally by Hallmark, who front a new movie a season on the network: Candace Cameron Bure, Lacey Chabert, Danica McKellar and Lori Loughlin. Bure said the reaction to her Hallmark Christmas movies encourages her to keep making them but also find interesting ways to tell stories that fit the formula. “It’s a big deal to decide which movie to do,” she says. (Her film this year, “A Shoe Addict’s Christmas,” is based on a novel by best-selling author Beth Harbison.) Loughlin acknowledges also trying to push the envelope a little bit. “ They defi nitely have a

Hallmark is celebrating Christmas with a slew of formula-driven films

Oates’ sci-fi fable portrays retro dystopia

‘Tis the season Hallmark Channel isn’t the only network airing holiday fare. Lifetime does it, too, with films this year including “Every Day Is Christmas,” starring Toni Braxton. Netflix has also followed suit with its own holiday movies, including original films this year starring the likes of Kurt Russell, Kat Graham and Vanessa Hudgens. A.R.

formula and you do have to follow it,” Loughlin says. “If you don’t, they rein you back in. As actors we want a little bit of drama so you try to put some highs and lows in there, but you can’t argue with [Hallmark]. Their format is 100 percent working.” The biggest motivation for

returning to Hallmark year after year is the fans, Bure says. She recalled a letter from an older man whose wife had passed away after more than 50 years of marriage. She loved Christmas and would decorate for the season early, and particularly loved Bure’s Christmas movies. He forced himself to not only keep up his wife’s decorating tradition but also sat down to watch Bure’s movie that year because it’s what they would have done as a couple, and it made him feel closer to her. “It’s more than ratings,” Bure says. “It’s more than a cheesy holiday spirit. There’s a deep meaning behind [these movies] for some people. I love all of them, and that’s why I keep doing them.” ALICIA RANCILIO (AP)

BOOKS

Margaret Atwood returning to Gilead

Margaret Atwood is writing a sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” publisher Nan A. Talese/Doubleday announced Wednesday. Set for a Sept. 10 release, “The Testaments” opens 15 years after the conclusion of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” “Everything you’ve ever asked me about Gilead and its inner workings is the inspiration for this book,” Atwood said. ”Well, almost everything! The other inspiration is the world we’ve been living in.” (TWP)

YouTube to launch Ariana Grande docuseries today

Netflix making live-action “Cowboy Bebop” series

BOOK REVIEW Someone needs to check Joyce Carol Oates’ garage for a DeLorean. “Hazards of Time Travel,” her novel released Tuesday, seems to have slipped through the space-time continuum. Although Oates started writing it in 2011 and finished before the election of President Trump, the story feels charged by the horrors of our Orwellian era. In the grim future she imagines, the Constitution has been suspended and the RNAS (Reconstituted North American States) is a violently xenophobic and officially racist country. Our heroine is a high school student named Adriane Strohl, who is arrested at her graduation rehearsal for planning to deliver a speech full of PQs (Provocative Questions). Her punishment is to be teletransported to a mediocre university in the Midwest in the late 1950s, which tells us all we need to know about Oates’ concept of hell. Orwell imagined a helmet of hungry rats; Oates gives us Wisconsin. Oates’ history-shifting story suggests that the alarming epoch we’re stuck in now resembles that golden era we’re still romanticizing. Nothing is as it seems in this accelerating swirl of political and academic satire, science fiction and romantic melodrama. At 80, after more than 40 novels, Oates is still casting some awfully dark magic. RON CHARLES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

@IWRITEALLDAY_, writer Clarkisha Kent, describing how “SpongeBob SquarePants” character Squidward helped her understand her depression and PTSD. Kent watched the show as a child and always thought Squidward was overtly negative until she revisited the show at an older age. Her tweets were in tribute to “Spongebob” creator Stephen Hillenburg, who died Monday.

“Please send replacement koi as quickly as possible. This otter is hungry.” @JAGOCHARLES, joking about the

“Chinatown Otter” of Vancouver, Canada. Over the past 10 or so days, the stealthy otter has sneaked into the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and killed 11 of its koi fish. A wildlife relocation expert set a baited trap near the pond, which the sly otter easily avoided — while also nabbing the bait. The remaining fish have been moved out of the koi pond until the suspect is caught.

“Then I happened to revisit the show one day and saw a lot of those things I was experiencing in the character. Apathy. Occasional anger. Resentment. Existential dread.”

“Maybe that should be done all the time as it promotes the reporting of truth.” @MIKE_HIGHFIELD, tweeting after CNN put up a “Facts First” sidebar

during its coverage of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ press briefing Tuesday. As Sanders defended President Trump’s rejection of the government’s recent climate report, the CNN graphic refuted Sanders’ claim that the report was “not based on facts.”

@FRUITSUIT, reacting to Refinery 29’s latest “Money Diaries” entry. The series, which follows women and their financial habits, this week featured a 22-year-old from New York City who claimed to bring in about $25,000 per month. Twitter users questioned how the woman made at least $300,000 this year as a handbag designer with a lax schedule, and whether her stacked salary was really a result of privilege.

“So I guess no one who works at or reads [Spectator Australia] has seen boobs before.” @KATYHALLWAY, blasting the conservative Australian magazine for tweeting out a letter titled “Sarah Hanson-Young’s credibility gap” with a cropped image of the Aussie senator’s breasts, claiming she had her “boobs hanging out” during an anti-abuse speech on the Senate floor. The letter was later deleted.

DIFFICULT

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re eager to work in a collaborative fashion with those whose ideas you find exciting. Be aware that not everyone will want to join in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have been set in your ways recently, especially where work is concerned. It’s a good day to consider a new way of doing things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are likely to have more ideas today than you know what to do with — but in sharing them with others you can give them all life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) What you are hearing from others regarding your place in the scheme of things may prove surprising.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are

able to do far more today than you expected, although you might need a friend to push you in the right direction.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) What happens today can prove inspiring, especially when it comes to a dream you have set aside for far too long. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can surround yourself today with people who help you through difficult times. You must be ready for what you suspect is fast approaching.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) How you behave at work must have little bearing on what you do and say at home; these must be kept separate.

TODAY: Calmer winds combined with continued partly to mostly sunny skies take a bit of the edge off the cold. We’re still rather wintry, though, with highs in the 40s and a breeze from the westnorthwest around 10 mph. Winds go calm tonight as skies turn partly to mostly cloudy. There could be a light shower overnight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are eager to have more of the same today, and yet to do so you may have to exceed your usual capacity. Use caution. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can have a greater impact on things today than expected. This suits your current mood, which makes you more forceful than usual.

The judge placed several limitations on child support expenses, saying that Norma cannot be reimbursed for child care for their 11-year-old daughter, Shayla, when running “non-work errands.” The couple married in 2007 and split in 2009.

Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons were spotted together in Philadelphia over the weekend, according to Page Six. The outlet reported that the two broke up in September but have since rekindled their relationship. Jenner sat courtside at Simmons’ game on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers — which the Philadelphia 76ers lost — before the couple visited French restaurant Parc later that night and Asian fusion eatery Buddakan on Saturday. The model and NBA player have had an on-and-off-again relationship since May. (EXPRESS)
