A taste of comfort for vets HAYMARKET, VA. All Ryan Davis ever wanted to be was a pilot. He was set to become a full-time instructor with Silver State Helicopters in Mesa, Ariz., when the company suddenly went bankrupt, during the economic meltdown of 2008. Davis joined the U.S. Army later that same year. Like the helicopter company, Davis’ career as an Army pilot didn’t last long. Three years ago, Army doctors grounded him. At the time, Davis was serving in a medevac unit that flew Black Hawk helicopters in Afghanistan to rescue wounded soldiers, sometimes taking enemy fire in the process. Davis had a back injury, which had become so acute that he could not sit for long stretches in the cockpit. While undergoing physical therapy at Fort Belvoir, Va., Davis learned about the Warrior Retreat at Bull Run, a sprawling house on 37 acres in Haymarket, Va., which gives wounded soldiers a place to escape the sometimes brutal recovery process.

Program makes a chef-cooked meal part of the healing process
Larry Zilliox, right, describes a multi-course meal to veteran Ryan Davis.
Operated by the nonprofit Serve Our Willing Warriors, the retreat automatically comes with a special benefit: a seated, multicourse meal prepared by a chef in a state-of-the-art kitchen. Ken Gardner, executive event chef for the Warrior Retreat, was charged with conceiving and executing Davis’ dinner. A fo r m e r b u t c h e r a n d meat manager at Giant and a self-taught chef, Gardner didn’t just prepare Davis a multi-course meal, including

shrimp-and-scallop ceviche and roasted quail with a leek, fennel and saffron sauce. He also prepared kid-friendly alternatives for the soldier’s three girls and two boys. “It was the first time I had quail, and it was delicious,” said Davis. “And it doesn’t taste like chicken. It does taste a little bit like pigeon.” The cooking process at Bull Run is interactive. It’s a chance for the wounded warriors to take part in the preparation of their own meal. They might chop vegetables. If they have training, they might even get behind the stove and cook. Many of the soldiers who stay at Bull Run have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. They tend to keep to themselves, but something about the camaraderie of the kitchen can give them a safe place to talk about their experiences. “It brings them together and they open up,” said Dan Krupp, a volunteer sous-chef. “It takes your mind off everything else, and then you’re among people who care. ... It’s back to that sense of normalcy that they don’t have on the base.” TIM CARMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Sour notes in the Metro Buskers say strict rules, competition are making it harder to find spots to perform in stations
expressline
Early estimates: Rally cost D.C. at least $2.6M
MATT McCLAIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
THE DISTRICT Singer Hisham Breedlove has a precise routine for staking out a performance spot inside Metro stations. The operatic countertenor places his belongings on the station mezzanine. Then, he nods a hello to the station manager, takes a deep breath and begins to belt out the first notes of a popular aria — while silently praying that no one complains. “Just one person has to go to him and say, ‘You know what, that guy is singing there, I don’t like it,’ and then by law the station manager has to tell me to leave,” said Breedlove, who has been singing in Metro stations for years. “That’s just how it is.” Breedlove is one of the region’s longtime subway buskers — a purveyor of performance art in public spaces that many commuters have come to view as an indelible, and invaluable, part of life in a bustling city. But for the musicians who earn their livelihoods playing music in or around subway stations, things have never been harder. Lawsuits have helped to codify rules and strictures on when and where they are allowed to perform. The fight for prime performance locations — like the sidewalk outside the entrances to the Gallery Place station — has become contentious, as buskers using boomboxes and amplifiers square off against rankled residents and concerned lawmakers. The increasingly complex geographic challenges for subway musicians are just some of the reasons their jobs are becoming harder and more unpredictable. “You have a lot of [police] officers who will make up their own
Hisham Breedlove sings for tips last month at one of his usual busking spots in the Federal Triangle Metro station.
rules about where you can and can’t be,” said musician Mark Francis Nickens, who has been busking in and around Metro stations since 1987. “So you’ve got to know the laws. And I try to be nice about it, but I stick up for myself.” But the rules are interpreted, and enforced, in a lot of different ways. Nickens considers anywhere outside the fare gates fair game. Breedlove says he uses Metro’s signature hexagon-shaped tiles to judge where he should and shouldn’t be standing. He does venture into the underground level of the station, but he knows his presence is only allowed at the discretion of station managers. Buskers say different transit police officers and station managers have different interpretations of the rules. That’s led to more competition for the performance spots where buskers know
“We should be celebrating people who want to be out in public squares, making their voices heard.” JOHN WHITEHEAD, a Constitutional lawyer, who represented a busker in a 2014 case against Metro
they’re welcome, Breedlove said. It also means a sometimes fractious relationship with Metro Transit Police. Recently, however, there’s been a crackdown on what constitutes the outskirts of Metro stations where buskers are allowed to perform. And concerns about noise at Gallery Place prompted hearings by the D.C. Council. (So far, the council has declined to enact an emergency ordinance.) The interiors of stations,
particularly the platforms, remain no-go zones for busking musicians, even though performers are commonplace on subway platforms in Boston and New York. Then there are the ubiquitous cellphones, which have begun to diminish the serendipity of passing a guitarist playing a beloved ballad. “It’s not appreciated or as revered now as much as it once was,” Nickens said of his performances, “because all you have to do is pull up your smartphone and Google any song you want, by any artist you want, and you can listen to it instantly.” But they keep going, living for the moments when a passerby approaches and offers an edifying comment: “I heard your music, and it filled me with joy — it convinced me to keep on living,” one told Nickens.

Boy, 2, dies after fall from 24th-floor balcony in Falls Church; 2nd fatal fall at apartment complex in 4 months
THE DISTRICT The District spent $2.6 million on policing and other costs related to Sunday’s white supremacist rally and the associated counter-protests, according to a preliminary estimate from the city government. The city plans to ask the federal government to reimburse those costs. Congress budgeted $13 million this year for a fund to help the District pay for its responses to large-scale protests and events, which are common in the nation’s capital but have become more frequent during the Trump administration. The “Unite the Right 2” rally, held on the anniversary of the deadly white nationalist gathering in Charlottesville, attracted fewer than 40 supporters. But law enforcement responded with a massive presence to keep the white supremacists physically separated from thousands of counter-protesters. City officials called their response a success: No one was injured, and only one person arrested on minor charges. But critics say the city may have inadvertently encouraged more groups with provocative messages to come, by pouring so many resources into defending the First Amendment rights of Sunday’s rallygoers. A spokeswoman for Mayor Muriel Bowser stressed that the $2.6 million was an early estimate and not the final cost that will be charged to the federal government. FENIT NIRAPPIL (TWP)

Poll: Hogan far ahead of Jealous MARYLAND Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, R, has a considerable lead over Democratic challenger Ben Jealous, according to a poll released Tuesday by Gonzales Research and Media Services. Hogan, who has governed as a moderate, leads Jealous 52
percent to 36 percent, with 11 percent of likely voters undecided. The margin is similar to Hogan’s 18-point lead in a June poll by the same firm. The poll raises questions about whether Jealous, whom Hogan and the GOP have repeatedly attacked as too “extreme� for Maryland, can expand his appeal beyond the progressive base that elected him in a six-way primary. It found that while Hogan remains widely popular in a state

Undue hardships: Vets undergoing unjustified exams “VA’s goal is to ensure all Veterans receive the benefits to which they are entitled under the law,” Curt Cashour, VA’s press secretary, said by email. “While we apologize for any inconvenience to the affected Veterans, these exams were meant to ensure VA was meeting that goal.” In addition to the inconvenience, the cost is no small matter, either. During the six-month review period, the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), a component of the department, spent $10.1 million on unwarranted reexaminations. “The review team estimated that VBA would waste $100.6 million on unwarranted reexaminations over the next five years,” the report said, “unless it ensures that employees only request reexaminations when necessary.” Reexaminations are deemed unnecessary when veterans qualify for exclusions, including having a permanent disability or a disability that has not substantially improved over five years. In addition to the hassle and the uncertainty for vets, reexaminations mean staffers are pulled from providing needed services. This is a management problem. “As long as VA continues to

Veterans shouldn’t have to jump unnecessary hoops to get the benefits they deserve. But the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is doing that to thousands of disabled veterans and wasting millions of dollars in the process. A report by the VA’s Office of Inspector General said employees required veterans to undergo unwarranted medical reexaminations to continue getting benefits in over onethird of the cases studied. “While reexaminations are important in the appropriate situation to ensure taxpayer dollars are appropriately spent, unwarranted reexaminations cause undue hardship for veterans,” the report said. “They also generate excessive work, resulting in significant costs and the diversion of VA personnel from veteran care and services.” Based on its study, the inspector general estimated employees sought unwarranted reexaminations in 19,800 cases out of 53,500 during the March-August 2017 review period. That’s 37 percent of the cases and means undue hardship for lots of people.

emphasize productivity work measurements over quality, the agency will continue to waste taxpayer dollars on unnecessary claim development,” said Jamie B. Rudert, an associate general counsel of the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Almost all of this could have been avoided if VA employees properly reviewed claims before seeking reexaminations. But of the 19,800 cases, the inspector general said 15,500, or 78 percent, lacked an appropriate pre-exam review, indicating “management routinely
bypassed this internal control.” Sen. Jon Tester, Mont., the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said the unwarranted reexaminations mean “the VA needs to get it right the first time. … Reevaluations are important if a veteran’s condition changes over time, but they shouldn’t be frivolous. “The VA must root out and fix this blatant example of waste at the expense of veterans and taxpayers.” Follow Joe Davidson on Twitter @joedavidsonWP
METRO DISRUPTION

Federal agencies have been urged to allow more telework and alternative work schedules for their employees during the current work on Metrorail, which is scheduled to continue through Aug. 26.

persistent) urban myth. Civil service annuities are based on the average of the employee’s highest three consecutive salary years and a multiplier reflecting their years of federal employment. The Federal Employees Retirement System, covering 95 percent of feds, allows retirement at age 56 with 30 years of service, 60 with 20, or 62 with five. They receive 1 percent of their “high-3” average per year of service, rising to 1.1 percent for those retiring at 62 or later with at least 20 years. For example, someone with 20 years of service and a high-3 average of $80,000 would receive an annual annuity of $16,000 if retiring at age 60 — $17,600 if retiring at 62 or later. The smaller number of feds under the Civil Service Retirement System don’t get those benefits, but their annuity multiplier is roughly 2 percent per year of service. FERS employees, though, also get Social Security benefits and employer contributions up to 5 percent into the 401(k)-style Thrift Savings Plan. Various special provisions can apply under both programs, but those are the basics. ERIC YODER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

nation+world In a first, Nebraska kills inmate with injection of powerful opioid LINCOLN, NEB. Nebraska carried out its first execution in more than two decades Tuesday with a drug combination never tried before, including the first use of the powerful opioid fentanyl in a lethal injection. Carey Dean Moore, 60, was pronounced dead at 10:47 a.m. Moore had been sentenced to death for killing two cab drivers in Omaha in 1979. He was the first inmate to be lethally injected in Nebraska, which last carried out an execution in 1997, using the electric chair. Witnesses said that there
appeared to be no complications in the execution process, which also was the first time a state used four Moore drugs in combination. Moore remained mostly still throughout the execution but breathed heavily and gradually turned red and then purple as the drugs were administered. Media witnesses saw Moore take short, gasping breaths that became deeper and more labored. His chest heaved several times before it went still. His eyelids briefly cracked open. At one point while on the gurney, Moore turned his head and mouthed several words to his family, including “I love you.” No

According to prosecutors, Moore was 21 when he fatally shot Reuel Van Ness during a robbery with his younger brother. Moore fatally shot Maynard Helgeland by himself five days later, saying he wanted to prove he could take a man’s life by himself. Moore was arrested a week later. He was convicted of first-degree murder, while his 14-year-old brother was convicted of seconddegree murder. GRANT SCHULTE (AP)

Report lists more than 300 ‘predator priests’
EMPATHY
A pleading robot proves hard to resist
HARRISBURG, PA. More than 1,000 children were molested by hundreds of Roman Catholic priests in six Pennsylvania dioceses while senior church officials took steps to cover it up, according to a landmark grand jury report released Tuesday. The grand jury said it believes the “real number” of abused children might be “in the thousands” since some records were lost and victims were afraid to come forward. The report said more than 300 “predator priests” committed the abuse over a period beginning in the mid-1950s. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said the two-year inquiry found a systematic coverup by senior church officials in Pennsylvania and at the Vatican. “The cover-up was sophisticated. And all the while, shockingly, church leadership kept records of the abuse and the cover-up. These documents, from the dioceses’ own ‘Secret Archives,’ formed the backbone of this investigation,” he said at a news conference in Harrisburg. Significantly, the report faulted Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the former longtime bishop of Pittsburgh who now leads the Washington archdiocese, for what it said was his part in the concealment of sexual abuse by

Grand jury in Pa. says number of victims may be ‘in the thousands’
A two-year inquiry faults Cardinal Donald Wuerl for hiding abuse by priests.
clergy. Wuerl, one of the highestprofile cardinals in the U.S., released a statement Tuesday that said he had “acted with diligence, with concern for the victims and to prevent future acts of abuse.” The grand jury scrutinized abuse allegations in dioceses that minister to more than half the state’s 3.2 million Catholics. Its report echoed the findings of many earlier church investigations around the country in its description of widespread sexual abuse by clergy and church officials’ concealment of it. Most of the victims were boys, but girls were abused, too, the report said. The abuse ranged from groping and masturbation to anal, oral and vaginal rape. The panel concluded that a
succession of Catholic bishops and other diocesan leaders tried to shield the church from bad publicity and financial liability by covering up abuse, failing to report accused clergy to police and discouraging victims from going to law enforcement. The report won’t result in justice for the vast majority of those who say they were molested. While the probe yielded charges against two clergymen — including a priest who has since pleaded guilty, and another who allegedly forced his accuser to say confession after each sex assault — the other identified priests either are dead or will avoid arrest because their alleged crimes are too old to prosecute under state law.
In an experiment testing how people treat robots when they act like humans, many participants struggled to power down a robot named Nao when he pleaded, “‘No! Please do not switch me off! I am scared that it will not brighten up again!” Participants were instructed to shut Nao off when they were done with a set of tasks. Of the 43 people who heard Nao beg to stay online, 13 chose to listen and did not turn him off, while those who did turn him off took twice as long to do so, on average, as participants who did not hear Nao’s plea, according to a study published in the journal PLOS One.

ACLU lawsuit: ICE set up ‘trap’ for deportation IMMIGRATION Federal immigration agencies have launched a coordinated campaign to arrest and deport immigrants seeking to become legal U.S. residents through marriage, according to documents released this week in a class-action lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The documents, which include correspondence from federal officials, show the extent to which officials for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services have been coordinating with their counterparts at Immigration and Customs Enforcement to facilitate arrests in New England. The ACLU criticizes the efforts as a deportation “trap” that violates the constitutional rights of immigrants following the rules to become legal residents. A spokesman for USCIS said the agency doesn’t comment on pending litigation, and ICE representatives didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Andrew Graham, a Bostonbased ICE officer, said the agency generally receives from USCIS lists of immigrants seeking legal residency who have already been ordered for deportation, had re-entered the country illegally or were considered “an egregious criminal alien.” Graham says ICE then works with USCIS to schedule interviews so that ICE agents can be present to make an arrest.

President lashes out at ‘that dog’
Sources: Trump made dozens of aides sign NDAs
POLITICS President Trump unloaded on former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman on Tuesday, calling her a “crazed, crying lowlife” and “that dog,” as a clash rooted in the reality star’s accusations of racism focused new attention on his frequent disparagement of prominent African-Americans. The public conflict showed no signs of slowing, as Manigault Newman did another round of interviews to promote her tell-all book and Trump’s presidential campaign filed arbitration action against her alleging she breached a confidentiality agreement. Manigault Newman, who has painted a damning picture of Trump and alleged there is a videotape of him using a racial slur, told The Associated Press she is not going away. “I will not be silenced. I will not be intimidated. And I’m not going to be bullied by Donald Trump,” she said. Trump, who has denied the existence of any such tape, assailed Manigault Newman in language that stood out even by his trashtalking standards, praising his chief of staff, John Kelly, “for quickly firing that dog!” That slam follows a pattern of inflammatory language about women and minorities. During the 2016 campaign, Trump described Huffington Post founder
Arianna Huffington as “a dog.” He has recently targeted California Rep. Maxine Waters, NBA star LeBron James and TV journalist Don Lemon, all AfricanAmericans, and has repeatedly attacked black football players for kneeling during the national anthem in social protest. Manigault Newman told the AP that “at every single opportunity he insults African-Americans,” and she accused him of trying to start a “race war.” During the campaign and her White House tenure, Manigault Newman, who was the highest ranking black official in the West Wing, stood by Trump even at moments of racial strife, including the clashes between white supremacists and counterprotesters in Charlottesville, and Trump’s targeting of NFL players kneeling during the national anthem in social protest. Fired by Kelly in December, Manigault Newman now says many of Trump’s actions gave her pause, but she was sympathetic to him as a longtime friend and mentor. In her book, she casts herself as a strong black woman who overcame humble beginnings and has often navigated hostile work environments with aplomb. Now she is aligning herself with Trump’s victims, said Leah Wright Rigueur, a historian at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

White House insists Trump is not racist as he vilifies another African-American
Omarosa Manigault Newman says many of President Trump’s actions gave her pause, but she was sympathetic to him as a longtime friend and mentor.
Sanders can’t guarantee Trump never used slur White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday that she cannot guarantee that President Trump has never used a racial slur. Sanders said, “I haven’t been in every single room,” when asked if she can say with certainty that Trump has never used the N-word. Ex-Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman has alleged she has heard Trump on tape using the slur. (AP)
“She’s drawing a direct line of comparison between herself and other black women Trump has attacked,” Rigueur said. “She’s suggesting that the president is racist and sexist and using herself as evidence.” Manigault Newman told the AP that she’s been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller’s

team investigating Russian election interference, though she did not provide any details. A person familiar with the White House response to the investigation said that at no time prior to her departure did the Mueller team request documents related to her or seek an interview with her. The person insisted on anonymity to discuss the investigation. She also asserted on MSNBC that Trump knew in advance about the release of Hillary Clinton’s emails by WikiLeaks, but she did not provide any evidence. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders insisted Tuesday that the president’s insults were not racially motivated, saying: “This has absolutely nothing to do with race and everything to do with the president calling out someone’s integrity.” CATHERINE LUCEY AND ERRIN HAINES WHACK (AP)
POLITICS President Trump’s bitter fight with former senior adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman highlights his aggressive and unconventional use of nondisclosure agreements to prevent current and former government employees from revealing secrets or disparaging him or his family. Manigault Newman claims that the Trump campaign offered her a $15,000-a-month job in exchange for signing a broadly worded NDA that would have barred her from disclosing details of her time at the White House. Dozens of White House aides have signed NDAs in exchange for working for Trump, according to current and former administration employees. But NDAs have not been widely used by past administrations outside the transition time between presidents, in part because most legal experts believe such agreements are not legally enforceable for public employees. Copies of Trump NDAs obtained by The Washington Post or described by current and former aides lay out broad prohibitions on behavior. Under one agreement from the 2016 campaign, signers promised not to “demean or disparage publicly” Trump, his company or any member of his family — and also not to assist any other politician exploring a federal or state office.

‘An immense tragedy’ Italian bridge collapse kills at least 26 as city’s infrastructure is brought into question Manafort says he won’t testify as defense rests
COLLEEN BARRY AND DANICA KIRKA (AP)
(THE WASHINGTON POST)
ANTONIO CALANNI (AP)
called the tragedy “a serious wound for Genoa, Liguria and Italy” on RAI state TV. The Italian civil engineering society CNR said that structures dating from when the Morandi Bridge was built had surpassed their lifespan. It called for a “Marshall Plan” to repair or replace tens of thousands of bridges built in the ’50s and ’60s. The design of the bridge has been criticized in the past. Antonio Brencich, a professor specializing in concrete construction at the University of Genoa, called the span “a failure of engineering” in 2016. Other engineers said corrosion or weather conditions could have contributed. Toninelli said the company that operates and maintains the highway said maintenance on the bridge was up to date. But he added that they were about to launch a $22.7 million bidding process for safety work on it.
COURTS Lawyers for Paul Manafort rested their case Tuesday without calling any witnesses, bringing a swift end to the evidence stage of his tax- and bank-fraud trial, which legal analysts say appears stacked against President Trump’s former campaign chairman. The decision by Manafort’s legal team not to introduce its own evidence — after two weeks of sometimes bruising testimony about the defendant — is a common tactic by defense lawyers, who often prefer to attack the government’s case by grilling prosecution witnesses instead of offering their own. Doing so can also send a signal to jurors that the burden of proving a crime rests with the prosecution, and defendants don’t have to prove their innocence. The Manafort trial is the first to arise out of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, though the charges against Manafort center on his personal finances. Manafort, 69, spoke briefly in court Tuesday, confirming to U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III that he did not wish to testify. The jury is now slated to hear closing arguments and could begin deliberating today. Manafort faces 18 counts of tax and bank fraud, based in large part on the technical details of IRS forms and bank loan applications.
A truck stopped on the edge of the Morandi highway bridge after a section of it collapsed Tuesday in Genoa, Italy.
LUCA ZENNARO (ANSA VIA AP)
GENOA, ITALY A 51-year-old highway bridge in the Italian port city of Genoa collapsed in a driving rain Tuesday, killing at least 26 people and injuring 16 others as it sent dozens of vehicles tumbling into a heap of concrete and twisted steel. Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte called it “an immense tragedy ... inconceivable in a modern system like ours, a modern country.” The disaster, on a major interchange connecting Genoa and other northern cities with beaches in eastern Liguria into France, focused attention on Italy’s aging infrastructure, particularly its concrete bridges and viaducts built in the postwar boom of the 1950s and 1960s. What caused the Morandi Bridge to fall remained unknown, and prosecutors said they were opening an investigation but had not identified any targets. Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli said the collapse was “unacceptable” and that if negligence played a role, “whoever made a mistake must pay.” Early speculation focused on the structural weakness of the span. Witnesses reported hearing a roar as the nearly 150-foot bridge collapsed in torrential rain during midday traffic on the eve of a major holiday that sees most Italians abandoning cities for beaches and mountains. Video of the collapse, showing a misty scene of crumbled concrete, captured a man screaming, “Oh, God! Oh, God!” Civil Protection authorities said at least 30 cars and three heavy vehicles were on the 260foot section of the span that collapsed in the industrial area. There was an immense gap where the bridge used to be, and one heart-stopping image

showed a green truck halted on the rain-slickened roadway just short of the edge. More than 300 rescue workers and canine crews were on the scene. They used heavy equipment and dogs to search for survivors in the rubble. At least four people were pulled alive from vehicles under the bridge, ANSA reported.
Officials evacuated several hundred people living along the raised highway that traverses the city as a precaution. There were conflicting numbers on the death toll. ANSA said it was at 35, while officials in the Liguria region put it at 26 after two bodies were found and one of the 16 injured died in surgery. After visiting the scene, Conte

Maryland President Wallace Loh, left, and athletic director Damon Evans apologized to the parents of student Jordan McNair.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL University of Maryland President Wallace Loh and the school’s athletic director, Damon Evans, acknowledged Tuesday that team athletic trainers failed to properly diagnose and treat football player Jordan McNair during a workout last spring, and apologized to the player’s family for the school’s role in his death. Loh said the staff failed to recognize that McNair was suffering from exertional heatstroke and did not follow prescribed medical steps to treat it. Loh said trainers never took the player’s temperature and did not ice his body to lower its temperature, steps experts have said would likely have saved his life. McNair, a 19-year-old offensive lineman, died in a hospital 15 days later.
Loh spoke at a news conference in College Park immediately after meeting with McNair’s family. He said the university “accepts legal and moral responsibility for the mistakes that our training staff made.” Loh said he has received progress reports from an ongoing investigation into McNair’s death. “Even though the final report is not completed, I said to the family, ‘The university owes you an apology.’ ” McNair’s death has drawn scrutiny to College Park, where some ex-players and staff members have said the football program operates under a culture of abuse and bullying. As a result of recent news reports, the school placed four people on administrative leave, including coach

President and AD say trainers failed to stop lineman’s heatstroke from turning deadly
Parents support Durkin Eight parents and family members of Maryland football players told The Washington Post that coach DJ Durkin has widespread support within the team after the death of lineman Jordan McNair due to heatstroke led to reports of a toxic culture in the program. Teddy Moore, the father of sophomore receiver Tahj Capehart, said many of the reported details about abusive behavior were “absolutely absurd,” adding, “It didn’t sound anything like the DJ Durkin I know.” A group of parents plans to meet with athletic director Damon Evans to defend Durkin on Saturday. Several boosters also said they hadn’t witnessed the alleged behavior. (TWP)
DJ Durkin. Evans said at Tuesday’s news conference that one of those men — Rick Court, the strength and conditioning coach who was running the workout in May — is no longer employed by the university. Loh and Evans both acknowledged that trainers never properly diagnosed the player with a heat-related illness. “Some of the actions of our athletic training staff — not the coaching staff — our athletic training staff, they basically misdiagnosed the situation,” Loh said. “No vital signs were taken, other safeguard actions that should have been taken were not. For me, that was enough to say, I need to come and personally apologize.” Evans said the school has already instituted new safeguards for practices in all sports. RICK MAESE,

REDSKINS GO YOUNG
Scandrick cut 5 months after signing The Redskins on Tuesday released Orlando Scandrick, parting ways with a cornerback they acquired in free agency. Scandrick, 31, signed a two-year deal in March that came with a $1 million signing bonus after he was cut by Dallas. Redskins coach Jay Gruden said cutting Scandrick resulted from the team’s confidence in its younger corners, and he wanted to give the veteran a chance to sign with another team. Scandrick was competing for the nickel back spot formerly held by Kendall Fuller, who was traded to the Chiefs. Holdovers Quinton Dunbar and Fabian Moreau as well as undrafted free agent rookies Danny Johnson and Ranthony Texada have impressed the Redskins. (TWP)

The moment encapsulated everything D.C. United could have imagined from Wayne Rooney. With D.C. and Orlando City tied 2-2 in second-half stoppage time Sunday at Audi Field, United took a risk and sent goalkeeper David Ousted up to play a last-gasp corner kick. Orlando promptly cleared and countered, with midfielder Will Johnson racing toward an empty D.C. net. That’s when Rooney put his head down, sprinted some 40 yards and ran down Johnson, winning the ball with a clean slide tackle. Picking his head up, the forward sailed a cross toward 5-foot-3 midfielder Luciano Acosta, whose header floated inside the far post to seal his hat trick and a pulsating 3-2 win. “Seeing a player like Wayne make that effort and run all the way back and make that tackle, put in that work — it motivates all of us, especially with the euphoria of the game,” Acosta said. Rooney added: “It was strange. We went from losing the game, basically, to winning in the space

Late tackle and assist to beat Orlando may be a turning point for club
of five seconds.” United’s season may well pivot on those five seconds. D.C. (5-9-6) returns to Audi Field to face the Portland Timbers (10-4-7) tonight (7:30, WJLA 24/7 News) sitting nine points out of a playoff spot with 14 matches remaining. United has long pinned its hopes on a glut of home matches necessitated by Audi Field’s midJuly opening. But the midseason addition of Rooney also has given the roster a substantial upgrade. The former Manchester United star’s statistics — one goal and three assists in six matches — have been solid. They also only tell part of the story for a veteran whose communication, movement and one-touch play have sharpened his club’s attack. After facing the Timbers, United will cap a stretch of three home games in eight days against the New England Revolution (7-8-8) on Sunday. By the time the homestand ends, D.C. should have an idea of whether Rooney’s epic effort was an isolated highlight or the start of something bigger. “We have a tough week coming up,” Rooney said. “I think the players will take a lot of confidence. The best way to win in a game of football is to score in the last minute.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK
War and Treaty find harmony
The pop star shows undeniable talent, but her music still misfires ALBUM REVIEW How will the story of American rap music — an art form that allows miscellaneous itty-bits of sound-junk, P-Funk, braggadocio and street mantra to converge into a miraculous whole — be told? In wide, sweeping gestures? Or in disparate, glinting fragments? It’s a question that Nicki Minaj has forced us to chew on for 10 years running. The sheer amount of magnetism, hauteur, mischief and yearning she can squeeze out of a single rhyme has made her one of the most astonishing rappers to ever do it to it. But if you’re looking for a coherent album that does justice to her multitudinous wild-styles, you’ll have to keep waiting. Her latest whiff, “Queen,” is all over the road — and where
the road leads, who even knows? Sure, Minaj still knows how to talk filthy in an array of beautiful voices, but here, she only ever sounds half-alert, making her nastiest boudoir brags feel reflexive and rote. On top of that, these new songs are way too long, and there are far too many of them. Lots of rough, too few diamonds. Still, Minaj’s brilliance has always shone from moment to radioactive moment. Surely, there must be some micro-glimmers in her latest macro-failure? Well, it’s always a thrill when Minaj goes sprinting off in a double-time cadence, as she does in “Barbie Dreams.” And you can’t get tired of her ability to hyper-enunciate isolated words — like when she pronounces those silent Ls in “guillotine” during “Coco Chanel,” a snarling duet with Foxy Brown. And that’s about it. It’s hard to imagine even the lowest-hanging fruit on “Queen” — “Ganja Burns,” “Majesty,” “Come See About Me”
GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATIONS
Nicki Minaj’s ‘Queen’ is a royal mess All over the place If you’ve followed Nicki Minaj since she first materialized by Lil Wayne’s side more than a decade ago, it’s easy to get the sense that she lost her way by trying to impress the universe in its entirety — diluting her vision in order to secure radio airplay (Minaj has enjoyed tons of it) or to land starry TV gigs (she judged a season of “American Idol” in 2013). C.R.
— flourishing on today’s radio waves. Her sense of melody feels stale, as if her backing tracks were freeze-dried when the Black Eyed Peas still ruled the world.
That means “Queen,” which came out Friday, only feels connected to the rap zeitgeist in the saddest way — as another portrait of a visionary rapper in decline. In June, Kanye West completed his transformation from provocateur to troll, while Drake continued making music as if executing a brand strategy. And while it’s hard to imagine how those two might reverse course, it’ll always be fun to daydream about the moment that Minaj comes bouncing back. A great Nicki Minaj comeback album would be the first great Nicki Minaj album, period.
Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Blount-Trotter, the pride of Albion, Mich., are husband and wife and a powerhouse R&B duo who sound as though they were born to sing together. War and Treaty’s full-length album debut, “Healing Tide,” which came out Friday, is Americana in that it’s rooted in the nation’s pews, fields and street corners — all sweat and spirit and soul. Trotter wrote all 11 tunes, focusing on the glory of love. He and Blount-Trotter have huge voices, and while some moving moments come when they dial back, mostly they swing and soar, often in tandem. Showboating? A little. Showstopping? Yes. STEVEN WINE (AP)

The summer’s breakout star is ready to be seen Representation matters to ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ co-star Awkwafina
Awkwafina wants to seize her moment in the spotlight. “I need people not to forget me,” she says.
WARNER BROS. PHOTOS
FILM Awkwafina was filming a scene with Rihanna for “Ocean’s 8” in the New York Times building when she walked outside. As she looked up, she saw it: The office where she used to work. The one she would take the subway to every morning, hating herself. The office where she got fired. Back then, the rapper-actresscomedian went by her real name, Nora Lum, and although she admits she was “a s---ty publicist,” getting canned still didn’t feel good. “I felt disgrace from being fired from that,” she says. “It was at a time when my dad, no one, really believed that Awkwafina would be a thing.” It was under the name Awkwafina that she released “My Vag,” a hilarious music video that was a direct response to a Mickey Avalon song with an unprintable title and an indirect response to the type of men who would write such a song. Awkwafina’s video went viral. Nora Lum’s boss sent her packing. That was in 2012. In 2018, Awkwafina, now 29, has released a critically acclaimed hip-hop EP, “In Fina We Trust,” and is charming the masses in two of the summer’s biggest movies: as a scammer-slash-pickpocket in
ancing Easy fin s. $149/mo
Awkwafina plays an eccentric best friend in “Crazy Rich Asians.”
“Ocean’s 8,” and in “Crazy Rich Asians,” in which she’s the primary scene stealer as Peik Lin, the borderline-manic best friend to the romantic heroine. Awkwafina pieced together her path without any clear example to follow; it’s not like young Nora Lum could turn on the TV and see women who looked like her, doing what she wanted to do. “When I was growing up, I was really looking for movies
like ‘Crazy Rich Asians,’ ” Awkwafina says. “Being the first, sometimes it’s really scary. But it’s really important, because it allows room for more.” Awkwafina already has new projects lined up: hosting the iHeartRadio MMVAs on Aug. 26, shooting the sci-fi thriller “Paradise Hills” and voicing a character in “The Angry Birds Movie 2.” And no offense to Nora Lum, but she plans to do this all under the name Awkwafina. “I feel like any Asian-American that’s doing it right now, they need to be remembered,” she says. “When people see my name, they’re a mixture of confused, angry, distraught, disturbed — they don’t understand it at all. But it’s important, because they’ll never forget it. I need people to not forget me.” JESSICA M. GOLDSTEIN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
TELEVISION
‘The Middle’ wasn’t the end ABC has ordered a pilot for a spinoff of “The Middle,” starring Eden Sher, the network confirmed Tuesday. The comedy will focus on the young-adult adventures of Sher’s 20-something character, Sue Heck. “The Middle” concluded its nine-season run in May.

In a series of Instagram stories over the weekend, rapper Azealia Banks detailed her time spent at Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s Los Angeles mansion with Musk and his girlfriend, Grimes. Banks said Grimes flew her out from New York to work on music. Banks then compared the weekend to the movie “Get Out,” intimated that Musk tweeted about possibly taking Tesla private while on acid, and alleged that the couple may have wanted “some weird threesome sex” with her. A representative for Musk told Spin on Tuesday that Banks’ allegations are “absolute nonsense.” (EXPRESS)
