A resident of the home said the candy was the only thing Earl Munoz, 29, took when he broke in early Saturday morning. (AP)

GOODBYE, AGAIN
What’s up with the name?
Mei combines equal parts milk and water, adds natural flavors and freezes the mixture into a cylinder. A machine that looks like a cross between a meat slicer and a stand mixer shaves ribbons off the ice chunk as it spins it over a blade. When the sheets come off the blade, they fold on top of each other into crinkly layers.
“Some people call it shaved sno or fluffed ice,” Mei says. “There are a lot of names for it because it’s just the beginning and no one else really knows about it.” Maryland’s Westfield Montgomery mall rats may recall a kiosk named SnoDream. It sold a similar treat, but went out of business last year.

Corcoran lovers encircled the building for a goodbye hug last month to mark the institution’s dissolution. Those still grieving can join a memorial service on Sept. 27 at 1 p.m.; it starts at the museum and continues at Oak Hill Cemetery, where gallery founder William Wilson Corcoran lies. Mourners are encouraged to honor him by donning Victorian garb — mourning coats for gents and black veils for ladies. R.S. RENEE PHAM
“It kind of looks like tuna,” says a skeptical customer on the SnoCream Shavery bus, as she inspected a bowl of milk tea “sno” made by Arturo Mei. The Virginia native first tried the frozen Taiwanese sweet — which falls between a snow cone and ice cream on the richness scale — on his travels through China. “I saw it and thought, I have to bring this to D.C.,” Mei says. This month, he launched the SnoCream Shavery (snocreamshavery.com), a 1997 school bus decked out with neon lights, aluminum flooring and plastic cubes as seats. H.S. How the heck is this made?
No museum has been so thoroughly mourned
Mei’s black tea “sno” is made with milk, water, sugar and tea.
I’m not really into it. Does he sell anything else? In addition to sno, Mei offers macarons in inventive flavors such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles and taro, an Asian root. He’s also working on a selection of bubble teas. “We don’t want to roll everything out too fast and have a disaster,” Mei says. “I’m trying to perfect one thing at a time.”
OK, I’m in. Where’s the bus? Mei’s vehicle exceeds the 18.5-foot length limit for food trucks in D.C., so he’s most often in Clarendon and Tysons Corner. The next time you can catch him will be at the Clarendon Truck Rally (3140 N. Washington Blvd., Arlington) on Sept. 25 from 6:30-9 p.m. and Sept. 27-28 from 1-9 p.m. Keep track on Instagram at SnoCreamCompany.

local Prince George’s County, Md., police captured Davon Wallace, who was wanted since August in connection with the fatal shooting of a 3-yearold girl in Landover, Md. There was a $45,000 reward to find Wallace, 25, who was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and first-degree murder in the killing of Knijah Bibb. Authorities have said that Knijah was visiting a home in Landover on Aug. 10 when Wallace got into a fight with one of the residents. During the argument, Wallace fired shots at the house, and a bullet struck the 3-year-old. She would have turned 4 over the weekend. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A D.C. mother was charged Tuesday with killing her 3-year-old son in June. Police say that Frances Lyles, 25, killed her son, Xavier. The boy died of multiple blunt-force injuries. Xavier was found dead in a Southeast apartment where he lived with his mother and 9-year-old sister. Lyles told police that she checked on her son at 8 p.m., according to a search warrant application. The next morning, the boy’s sister found that he had vomited and was unresponsive. Xavier was pronounced dead at the scene, where paramedics observed bruises on his body. Lyles was charged with first-degree felony murder. (TWP)

Va. food truck squabble brings up bigger issues TYSONS CORNER What started as a squabble over a parking spot Tuesday ended in the police being called, highlighting the difficulties of food trucks in Fairfax County, Va., and leaving some workers lunchless. Manuel Alfaro, the owner of El Fuego food truck, says his son had been saving a spot on Solutions Drive since 7:30 a.m. When Alfaro arrived, Guapo’s food truck kept him from taking the space, he says. “They were blocking traffic,” Alfaro says. “What other choice did I have but call the police?” Caitlin Turner, a manager at Guapo’s, says that is “absolutely not true,” explaining, “we were trying to figure out how to fit all the food trucks, and then one guy took it too far.”
When the Fairfax County Police arrived, they sent all eight food trucks on Solutions Drive packing. It turns out that in Fairfax County, food trucks can only vend legally on private property — and only if they pay $16,375 in licensing fees. A proposed revision would reduce the fees to $175. However, the larger barrier is a state ordinance that bans vending on state-maintained highways, says Che Ruddell-Tabisola, executive director of the DMV Food Truck Association. “The way Fairfax has grown, there’s a number of roads that you wouldn’t think are statemaintained highways — the speed limit is 35 [mph] … but they are,” he says. “Solutions Drive happens to fall into that category.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Memorial controversy continues A memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower faces a major crossroad this week over its controversial Frank Gehry design, which uses steel tapestries strung on 80-foot columns. The Eisenhower Memorial Commission will review two approaches, including one that removes most of these elements. If that plan is selected, Gehry said he will ask for his name to removed. ( THE WASHINGTON POST ) What happened?
Will it ever be built?
Congress approved the memorial in 1999 to pay tribute to the 34th president. A four-acre parcel of land on Independence Avenue was set aside and Gehry’s firm won a design competition. Both the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Capital Planning Commission must approve the plans.
The CFA gave preliminary approval to Gehry’s vision in 2011, but the NCPC, chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa, has been tougher to please. Gehry unveiled a compromise design this month. Issa also asked to see an alternative without tapestries or columns. The Eisenhower Memorial Commission will review both versions today.
Although early estimates predicted the memorial would be built by 2007, the commission hopes to have it completed in 2017. If the NCPC approves either of the two versions, the design will likely need to go back to the CFA for its support. The Eisenhower Memorial Commission must also raise money for construction.

SRINAGAR, INDIA Health workers were scrambling Tuesday to manage a mounting health crisis nearly two weeks after massive flooding engulfed much of Kashmir — treating cases of diarrhea, skin allergies and fungus while hoping the stagnant waters do not create conditions for more serious disease outbreaks. Countless bloated livestock carcasses were floating across the waterlogged Himalayan region. Many residents, warned to avoid the floodwaters, were rationing water bottles brought by aid workers every few days. “The chance of cholera, jaundice and leptospirosis spreading are high,” said Dr. Swati Jha with the aid group AmeriCares. “The most essential need right now is that of clean water.” The scale of the disaster has

all their possessions and more than 500 killed on both sides of the border. New flooding Monday night inundated several more villages in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, and the floodwaters were moving toward the southern Sindh province.
“The rescue and relief efforts are continuing and in full swing,” the country’s National Disaster Management Authority said in a statement. But many flood victims complained they were still waiting for help. Pakistani news channels showed images Tuesday of police swinging batons as hundreds of flood-affected people attacked trucks and snatched food in the Jhang district of Punjab. Most hospitals have been inundated, their diagnostic equipment, CT scanners, operation theaters and ventilators destroyed. “With our health infrastructure lost, any disease can be catastrophic now. You don’t need any plague for mass deaths,” said critical care specialist Dr. Javaid Naqashbandi while scribbling out a prescription for treatment of stomach illness on the patient’s hand.

The military response is part of a heightened U.S. role that will include erecting new treatment and isolation facilities, training health-care workers and increasing communications and transportation support, officials said. Obama announced the steppedup effort Tuesday during a visit
to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, following appeals for a greater U.S. effort to confront the crisis and alarm that the Ebola virus could spread and even mutate into a more easily transmitted disease. W hite House press sec retary Josh Earnest said the 3,000 troops would not provide direct care to Ebola patients. A substantial number will be stationed at an intermediate base in Senegal, Earnest said, with others at locations in Liberia where they will provide logistical, training,

The World Health Organization warned that the number of Ebola cases in West Africa could start doubling every three weeks and that the crisis could end up costing nearly $1 billion to contain. Joanne Liu, president of Doctors Without Borders, said the global response was falling short. “The window of opportunity to contain this outbreak is closing,” Liu told a meeting Tuesday at the United Nations in Geneva.

The attack did not wound anyone or cause any damage, the military said. It was not immediately clear if Israel would respond. A Hamas security official said the group was not behind the attack.

NASA’s new space partners NASA on Tuesday awarded a much-anticipated contract, worth up to $6.8 billion, to both Boeing and SpaceX to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station. The deal would allow the United States to launch astronauts into space from U.S. soil for the first time in years. Here’s the significance of the partnership. CHRISTIAN DAVENPORT ( THE WASHINGTON POST ) Renting, not owning
Freeing up resources
The announcement of the awards is a big step toward having the United States end its reliance on Russia, which has been ferrying American astronauts to the space station since the retirement of the U.S. space shuttles in 2011. The set-up hasn’t been cheap: The Russians charge $71 million per seat, and NASA has in a single year sent more than $400 million to Russia.
The contract shows a shift for NASA, which has long owned and operated its own rockets. Instead of going to space on governmentowned vehicles, NASA’s astronauts would essentially rent space on ships provided by Boeing and SpaceX. The contracts “highlight what commercial companies can accomplish,” said Kathy Lueders, NASA’s commercial crew program manager.
Speaking at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said the contract “sets the stage for what promises to be the most exciting chapter in NASA and human space flight.” Relying on contractors to take astronauts to space would allow the agency “to focus on an even more ambitious mission — that of sending humans to Mars,” he said.

nation+world Vetting Syrians
WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE DEBRIEF
Minutes after President Barack Obama outlined a new strategy to attack Islamic State forces, Sen. Mark Begich issued a blunt rejection of the proposal. “I oppose the president’s plan to arm Syrian rebels at this time,” the Alaska Democrat said, warning of rushing “into another decadelong ground war.” Said Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo.: “I will not give this president, or any other president, a blank check to begin another land war in Iraq.” Begich and Udall are two of the most vulnerable Democrats seeking re-election this fall. Their reluctance to support the president on a conflict abroad demonstrates just how much the politics of war have changed since the last time Congress was asked to authorize war actions. In October 2002, with the attacks of Sept. 11 still fresh on voter minds, almost every Republican backed President George W. Bush’s request to attack Iraq, along with 40 percent of House Democrats. A majority of Senate Democrats voted for the war resolution. That vote occurred just weeks before the 2002 midterm elections, when national security was the overwhelming issue. This week, lawmakers expect to cast votes just seven weeks before this year’s midterms. Suddenly, war is again the most talked-about issue for lawmakers, but the feeling is markedly different from what it was a dozen years ago. PAUL KANE

General opens door to U.S. combat troops White House rebuts Dempsey comment, says no boots on ground in Iraq WASHINGTON American ground troops may be needed to battle Islamic State forces in the Middle East if President Barack Obama’s current strategy fails, the nation’s top military officer said Tuesday as Congress plunged into an election-year debate of Obama’s plan to expand airstrikes and train Syrian rebels. “To be clear, if we reach the point where I believe our advisers should accompany Iraqi troops on attacks against specific ISIL targets, I will recommend that to the president,” Army Gen. Martin
Dempsey declared in testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee, referring to the militants by an alternative name. Pressed later by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the panel’s chairman, the four-star general said that if Obama’s current approach isn’t enough to prevail, he might “go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of ground forces.” Obama has maintained repeatedly that American forces will not have a renewed ground combat mission in Iraq in this new phase of a long war against terrorists.
Tuesday’s remarks by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew a prompt, polite rebuttal from the White House. Obama “will not deploy ground troops in a combat role into Iraq or Syria,” said spokesman Josh Earnest. Dempsey’s testimony underscored the dilemma confronting many lawmakers as the House moves through its own debate on authorizing the Pentagon to implement the policy Obama announced last week. In Iraq on Tuesday, the U.S. continued its expanded military campaign, carrying out two airstrikes
Also Tuesday at the Senate Armed Services Committee meeting, there was skepticism that the U.S. would be able to properly identify as many as 5,000 Syrian rebels who could be trusted to carry out the U.S. mission. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the U.S. will monitor closely to ensure that weapons don’t fall into the wrong hands. “We have come a long way” in our ability to vet the moderate opposition, and the U.S. has learned a lot as it has funneled non-lethal aid to the rebels, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey said. (AP)
northwest of Irbil and three southwest of Baghdad. Democrats in Washington spoke of a fear that the U.S. might inevitably become dragged into yet another ground war on the heels of Afghanistan and Iraq. Republicans said they worried that Obama was responding tepidly to the current threat by terrorists who have overrun large sections of Iraq and Syria and beheaded two U.S. journalists. “I think there’s a lot more that we need to be doing, but there’s no reason for us not to do what the president asked us to do,” said House Speaker John Boehner. A vote was expected in the House today and in the Senate within days. In the Senate, Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced he would support the measure and Democratic leader Harry Reid predicted bipartisan approval. The timetable was rapid by congressional standards, the result of a desire by lawmakers in both parties to adjourn quickly and return home to campaign for re-election.

The Hill’s new rat race Officials, lawmakers and staffers from both parties compete over their daily step count
Urban Outfitters seems to trade on moral outrage
HEATHER REED (OFFICE OF SPEAKER )
POLITICS + HEALTH Earlier this summer, Rep. Fred Upton was walking down Pennsylvania Avenue when he happened upon White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. They are political foes. Upton, a Republican from Michigan, chairs the House Energy and Commerce Committee. McDonough is the right hand of Democratic presidential power. Upton went for the jugular: He asked McDonough how many steps he’d taken that day. They held up their wrists, their step totals displayed on their Nike FuelBand and Fitbit devices. “I was winning,” said Upton, whose one-day record is nearly 18,000 steps. “So that’s a good thing.” This is the new Washington rat race. In a town that hits DefCon 1 on just about any issue, lawmakers, administration officials, congressional staffers, diplomats and bureaucrats have found something healthy and bipartisan to compete over: the number of steps they walk each day. In the era of political gridlock, at least they’re trying to move physically. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is obsessed with his Jawbone Up band and regularly checks in with 10 other band-wearers in his office: “Hey, you getting in your steps?” Hill staffers have formed Facebook groups to share — and gloat about — their step totals. The State Department recently held a five-week walking competition. Team names included Agony of De Feet and Holy Walkamolies. “The type of people you find on Capitol Hill are very competitive by nature,” said Alexa Marrero, a senior aide to Upton who

competes with him. “You have a bunch of type-A personalities in jobs prone to keeping you behind a desk all day, so there are a lot of people who have found this as a fun way to get up.” The competitions are changing official Washington behavior in some corners. Elected officials insist on parking far away for meetings to get in their 10,000 steps, the daily total often recommended by fitness experts. Legislative correspondents — underdogs in competitions because they answer emails all day — are finding ways to be at their desks less. Boehner’s staff even holds meetings in the Capitol Rotunda while walking in circles, which is not meant to be a metaphor for Washington politics. Political Washington has entered the realm of the Quantified Self. Sensors inside smartphones and wristbands such as the Fitbit can track steps, calories burned, heart rates and even sleep patterns. Users link up on websites
or apps to see how many steps their friends or colleagues have taken. Trash talking ensues. Tracking steps is still in its early days. Of the 60 percent of U.S. adults who say they track their weight, diet or fitness, just 9 percent use an app or online tool to keep up with stats, according to Pew Research Center. Analysts project that number will grow considerably next year with the introduction of Apple’s new watch. Unveiled last week, the

watch will track fitness and, as with many Apple products, likely turn a new idea mainstream. Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., a devoted step tracker, said other senators have asked about his bracelet. He has encouraged them to (ahem) follow in his footsteps, but he needs to be careful about whom he persuades. “I need to figure out who I can beat first,” he said. “I need to find a lazy senator or two.” Not everyone in Congress has embraced the walkathon. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., recently complained about the privacy aspects of devices such as Fitbit. His staff did not respond to a question about whether he or his staff use the devices, but it’s not as if infamous publicity hound Schumer is opposed to walking briskly. As former Sen. Bob Dole once observed, “The most dangerous place in Washington is between Charles Schumer and a television camera.” MICHAEL S. ROSENWALD (THE WASHINGTON POST)

1 Giancarlo Stanton Miami Marlins RF .288, 37 HRs, 105 RBIs

1 Mike Trout L.A. Angels CF .291, 34 HRs, 107 RBIs
1 Felix Hernandez Seattle Mariners SP 14-5, 2.14 ERA, 225 Ks
The slugger won’t play in another game this year after getting hit in the face by a fastball last week. But he’ll still likely lead the league in homers and finish top three in RBIs.
In 25 starts, Kershaw has allowed more than three runs once (May 17). He’s allowed one earned run or fewer and pitched at least seven innings in more than half of his starts.
After finishing second in MVP voting the past two years, Trout is due. The biggest difference? Miguel Cabrera’s numbers are slightly down and the Angels made the playoffs.
The right-hander is second in the AL in ERA and first in WHIP and WAR, and only David Price has pitched more innings. He’s had a quality start in 84 percent of his outings.
2 Clayton Kershaw L.A. Dodgers SP 19-3, 1.70 ERA, 219 Ks
2 Johnny Cueto Cincinnati Reds SP 18-8, 2.15 ERA, 220 Ks
2 Robinson Cano Seattle Mariners 2B .321, 14 HRs, 77 RBIs
2 Chris Sale Chicago White Sox SP 12-3, 1.99 ERA, 192 Ks
Justin Verlander won AL MVP and Cy Young in 2011, and Kershaw has a better win percentage, ERA, strikeout rate and WHIP than the Tigers ace had in his dominant year.
Entering his start on Tuesday, Cueto was second in the NL in wins, ERA, WHIP, WAR and strikeouts. So it would be fitting if the ace finished second in NL Cy Young voting, too.
Seattle might make the playoffs a year after losing 91 games in large part because Cano has carried this offense — helping provide some run support for the AL’s top pitching staff.
An early-season injury that cost Sale several starts could also cost him a chance at a Cy Young Award. He has a better ERA than Hernandez but has pitched 56 fewer innings.
3 Andrew McCutchen Pittsburgh Pirates CF .310, 23 HRs, 75 RBIs
3 Aroldis Chapman Cincinnati Reds RP 2.25 ERA, 33 saves, 94 Ks
3 Victor Martinez Detroit Tigers DH .331, 31 HRs, 99 RBIs
3 Corey Kluber Cleveland Indians SP 15-9, 2.45 ERA, 230 Ks
Could McCutchen be the third player in the past 30 years to win back-to-back NL MVPs? He leads the league in on-base percentage and has more homers than last year.
The closer isn’t in the top five in saves, but he’s striking out batters at such an alarming rate he deserves consideration. He has K’d more than half the batters he’s faced this year.
It’s not easy to best Miguel Cabrera, but Martinez has more homers and a better batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage than his two-time MVP teammate.
The 28-year-old is having a breakout season for the overachieving Indians. Kluber is in the top five in the AL in wins, ERA and strikeouts. ALL STATS ENTERING TUESDAY’S GAME s

REDSKINS The second major injury that quarterback Robert Griffin III has suffered during his NFL career has created an uncertain future for him and the Redskins. Kirk Cousins is now in place as the at-least-temporary starter and there are no guarantees that Griffin will get the job back once his dislocated left ankle heals. The unsettled situation in Washington has created the possibility that Griffin may be most valuable to the franchise as a trade asset. And if the Redskins eventually decide to keep Cousins and consider
offers to part with Griffin, sources in and around the league say there certainly will be teams interested and willing to surrender something of value for him. Whether that compensation would rise to the level of, say, a first-round draft pick is not clear. A front office executive with an AFC team said Griffin’s potential value is “nowhere close” to what the Redskins gave the Rams — three first-round picks and a second-round choice — to move into position to draft Griffin, but remains significant. Asked whether the Redskins

could get a first-round pick for Griffin after this season, the executive said: “That’s debatable. I’d lean toward ‘no’ but it’s not totally out of the question. You worry about the injuries.

NFL tax status tied to Redskins name NFL A U.S. senator threatened the NFL with legislation over Washington’s nickname, a letter was dispatched to the other 31 team owners, and the issue was linked to the league’s other recent troubles Tuesday as the anti-“Redskins” movement took its cause to Capitol Hill. In a news conference that featured Native American, civil rights and religious leaders, Sen. Maria Cantwell took aim at the NFL’s pocketbook by announcing she will introduce a bill to strip the league’s tax-exempt status because it has not taken action over the Redskins name. While prospects for such a bill becoming law would be tenuous, the inevitable hearings before
lawmakers would enhance the spotlight on a movement that has gained substantial momentum over the past two years. “The NFL needs to join the rest of America in the 21st Century,” said Cantwell, D-Wash., the former chairwoman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. “We can no longer tolerate this attitude toward Native Americans. This is not about team tradition. This is about right and wrong.” Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie responded to Cantwell’s proposed legislation by citing a poll in the team’s favor. “Our position remains consistent with more than 80 percent of Americans who do not want to change the Washington Redskins name,” Wyllie said.

NATIONALS When Stephen Strasburg showed up to spring training in 2013, he had grand goals for the first unrestricted season of his MLB career, and one was throwing more than 200 innings. He had never reached that milestone before. After Tommy John surgery and then his shutdown in 2012, he yearned to be a workhorse pitcher that helped carry the starting rotation. Bone chips slowed Strasburg late last season. But on Monday, Strasburg finally reached his goal, surpassing 200 innings in
his career-high 32nd start. “It feels great,” he said after the 4-2 win over the Braves. “I’m just glad that the routine that I’ve been working on, especially in between starts and the lifting program that I’ve been doing, is putting me in a good position to make every start.” As he prepared for what he hoped would be the longest season of his career, Strasburg adjusted his routine. He dialed back bullpen sessions, hoping to save his energy and arm for games. He limited throwing between starts. He followed a workout regimen

Strasburg reaches 200 innings
Nationals righty Stephen Strasburg is 12-11 with a 3.34 ERA and an NL-high 230 strikeouts this year.

that focused on stamina. Strasburg did this all with the idea of pitching into September and beyond in mind. So much expectation is heaped on Strasburg and, although he has had rough patches, he has enjoyed a strong season. Over his past four starts, he has posted a 1.69 ERA over 262/3 innings with 28 strikeouts and zero walks. “I’m definitely feeling pretty good right now, minus waking up with a little neck stiffness [on Monday],” Strasburg said. “I think my arm feels good.” JAMES WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Ballston’s on the market The neighborhood in Arlington offers lots of options for buyers HOT HOODS Casually tell your friends you’re moving to Ballston, and you might be met with outright horror. (“You’re moving to Boston?!”) But the panic is usually short-lived. (“Oh, oh, Ball-ston.”) Ballston, the neighborhood in Virginia just a few miles from D.C., is much closer than its sort-of homonym in Massachusetts. Its urban core, lined with high-rises, fades into tree-filled suburbia, bounded by Interstate 66 to the north,
North Quincy Street to the east, George Mason Boulevard to the west and North Glebe Road and North Quincy Street to the south. Being a little farther from D.C. than its more bustling Orange line neighbors means a lowerkey pace, easier parking and sometimes even cheaper housing. (But it’s still NoVa, people.)
Transportation Ballston is easy to get to with or without a car. Metro’s Ballston stop (Orange and Silver lines) drops riders off in the heart of the neighborhood. Bus riders can hop on Metro’s 1ABEFZ, 2ABCG, 10B, 22A,

Housing Ballston’s mix of single-family homes, luxe high-rise condos and quaint rowhouses offers an array of options for residents. Condo listings typically start in the mid-$300,000s for a one bedroom, one bath. Interested in a house? Prices can soar as high as $1.04 million for a fourbedroom, four-bath house, The Washington Post reported.
Parks & rec Quincy Park (1021 N. Quincy St.) runs along the northeast edge of Ballston and abounds with green space for kids to roam (and adult
sports leagues to play). Stay cool at the Washington-Lee Aquatics Center (1301 N. Stafford St.; 703-228-6262, bit.ly/1qgHGQC). Costs vary, depending on if you’re an Arlington resident and whether you’re looking to buy a visit or two or an extended membership. Stay even cooler at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex, the Caps’ practice facility, which is on the upper floor of the Ballston Commons Mall (627 N. Glebe Road, Suite 800; 571-224-0555, kettlercapitalsiceplex.com). Check the calendar for skating lessons, hockey clinics, open skating — and when to catch the Caps.

Rustico is an upscale pizza pub that dishes curiosities including deep-fried deviled eggs and carrot hummus. (4075 Wilson Blvd.; 571-384-1820, rusticorestaurant .com) Local chain Buzz Bakery (818 N. Quincy St.; 703-650-9676, buzzbakery.com) serves coffee and baked goods, as well as boozy offerings from a list that Rustico’s beer master Greg Engert helps curate. A well-stocked buffet (waffles and sushi, for example) awaits weekend brunch-goers at A-Town (4100 Fairfax Dr.; 703-528-1110, a-townballston.com). The options change weekly, but it’s always $21.95 for as much as you can eat.
Nightlife Ballston’s main bar crawl lies along North Glebe Road. Popular chains World of Beers (901 N. Glebe Rd.; 703-962-6982, wobusa.com), The Greene Turtle (900 N. Glebe Road; 703-741-0901, thegreeneturtle.com) and Buffalo Wild Wings (950 N. Glebe Road, Suite 130; 703-243-7525, buffalowildwings.com) are all within a stumble or two of each other. If you prefer yours bars locally owned, head to First Down (4213 N. Fairfax Drive; 703-4658888, firstdownsportsbar.com), which boasts 40 different flavors of wings (spicy honey garlic butter!). On the eastern edge, Carpool (4000 N. Fairfax Drive; 703-532-7665) offers drinks and games including skeeball and darts in a vintage-garage setting. MORGAN SCHNEIDER (FOR EXPRESS)

Chicken tenders
Farmhouse white bread
Super grilled cheese, ‘Freddy style’ Stoney’s, 1433 P St. NW and 2101 L St. NW
Many have lauded Stoney’s super grilled cheese as one of the best in the city. But few are aware that the sandwich — made from thick-cut American cheese, fresh tomato, red onion and bacon on farmhouse white bread — can be served with hand-breaded chicken tenders inside ($12.99). Dubbed “Freddy style” (after the pub’s long-standing chef, Freddy Guzman), the off-menu sandwich is a wink to regulars, and has been available for a little over a year now.
Strawberry and Cinnamon raisin blackberry jam bread, deep-fried
Turkey, ham and Gruyere
The full Monte Bub and Pop’s, 1815 M St. NW
This Dupont Circle sandwich joint offers a deepfried peanut butter and jelly sandwich year-round. If that weren’t enough to get you through the door, the full Monte ($10, available through September) is a deep-fried version of the Monte Cristo sandwich. “This is the ultimate sandwich,” chef Jonathan Taub says of the special, which puts cave-aged Gruyere, house-roasted turkey, Parisian ham and Dijon mustard on cinnamon raisin bread. The entire thing is dipped in funnel cake batter, deep-fried and coated with powdered sugar.
The big (grilled) cheese
It takes only three ingredients to make a decent grilled cheese sandwich: cheese, bread and butter. But why stop there? “A simple grilled cheese is a great base and allows you to get creative,” says Spencer Ruben, co-founder of the Melt Shop, a New York City-based upscale grilled cheese restaurant that will open a D.C. outpost in November. In the meantime, we’ve rounded up some of the city’s more over-the-top takes on the childhood classic. HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

Monster burger Duffy’s, 2106 Vermont Ave. NW
You’ve got to have a strong appetite and an even stronger jaw to enjoy this Irish pub’s appropriately named monster burger, which has been a menu staple for the past six years ($11.95). In lieu of a bun, the half-pound Angus burger, topped with sauteed mushrooms and bacon, arrives between two grilled cheese sandwiches on sourdough bread. It’s served with a pickle wedge and a mountain of Tater Tots. Duffy’s also throws some sliced tomatoes into the grilled cheeses, you know, for a balanced meal.

GCDC, 1730 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Sona Creamery and Wine Bar, 660 Pennsylvania Ave. SE
When GCDC opened in April, grilled cheese fanatics flocked to the downtown restaurant for its savory combinations like lobster and aged Gouda. The shop recently added sweet versions, including one composed of apple-flavored cream cheese ice cream sandwiched between brioche French toast ($7). “The ice cream is like a more intense flavored cream cheese,” says partner Doug Abedje. It’s drizzled with a caramel glaze that’s made with brown sugar and bourbon.
For its signature mac and cheese, Sona (which translates as “happy” in Old Irish) mixes elbow macaroni with cheddar and Comte cheese (an Alpine-style cow milk blend from France), along with any additional scraps lying around. “It’s like mac and cheese roulette,” says cheesemonger Angelica Ames, who adds there may be up to 10 different types of cheese in the mix at any point. For the Bruno’s big kid sandwich ($12), the mac and cheese is slathered on sourdough that’s cooked with butter
Not cheesy enough? The Rock Creek Social Club hosts its fifth annual Grilled Cheese Social on the Marvin rooftop from 1 to 8 p.m. Saturday (2007 14th St. NW; free admission; 202-797-7171). We like the Pit sandwich (mac and cheese and pulled BBQ chicken,$12) and the Classic (cheddar, Swiss or Monterey Jack, $7). H.S. STK will kick off brunch service Sunday with 1980s-themed meal

When I die (most likely of a heart attack — see story to the left), I want to be reborn as Bardog. The Australian cattle dog presides over Bardo, the quirky openair brewery off H Street from brothers Bill and Andrew Stewart. (This is the second iteration of the brewpub, which was previously housed in a former Oldsmobile dealership in Clarendon.) As the official mascot of the lot, Bardog has access to gallons upon gallons of craft beer, gets to spend all of his time outside and constantly receives scratches behind the ear from friendly guests. Follow Bardog on Twitter at @BarDawgDC, where he tweets occasional specials and events. Most recently he shared this with his 155 followers: “Full moon tonight! Bark!” HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

TELEVISION As the offers poured in for Octavia Spencer after her Oscar win for “The Help” in 2012, she was clear on what she wanted. And it certainly wasn’t theater. “I have severe stage fright and … it’s very different to be on a television set or a film set where you’re working with crew [of] people,” Spencer, 44, said. “You’re all there to do a job. When you do stuff in front of an audience, you’re putting on a miniplay. It’s like, ‘Ahh! I can’t think about whether you’re being entertained. I have to think about my character.’ ” A role in an ensemble TV

“I like the fact that it really is about [the kids] and their journey and you have these adult characters who kind of keep them within boundaries,” she said. She worried, though, that the show would be too depressing. “I thought, ‘Well, do I really want to be a nurse at a children’s hospital? That’s probably going to be the saddest thing on the planet. I don’t know.’ And then I read it and I was pleasantly surprised because I didn’t realize I was going to laugh as much as I did and enjoy it as much as I did.” And having racked up acting awards and roles in critically acclaimed films, including “Snowpiercer” earlier this year, Spencer says she’s fine not being the star. “I have the prize in the Cracker Jack box,” she said. “I don’t need to be the prize.” ALICIA RANCILIO (AP)

“If the sample phrases on the website are anything to go by (‘Hrazef dik’ translates to ‘The horse is fast’), then you’ll only be able to talk about ‘Game of Thrones’-approved topics.” GAVIA BAKER-WHITELAW AT DAILYDOT.COM sees the appeal of linguist
David J. Peterson’s $20 Living Language course on Dothraki, the language spoken on the HBO series by Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa, right) and his people. Peterson helped to create the language for the show, as well as fictional tongues for Syfy’s “Defiance” and “Dominion.”

“They should totally call this remake ‘I know what you did in the mid ’90s’ ” COMMENTER FLASHJORDAN AT THEGUARDIAN.COM/FILM offers a title
after Sony announced Monday it has hired writers for a new adaptation of the 1997 film, “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” originally a 1973 Lois Duncan book. The film starring, from left, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze Jr., made $125 million worldwide and got a sequel in 1998.
“Is this what throwing stones from inside a glass house looks like?” COMMENTER MIKEX74 AT THEVERGE.COM doesn’t think PayPal

PayPal was promoting itself as a more secure option than the forthcoming Apple Pay in light of the recent celebrity photo leak, which many have blamed on weaknesses in Apple’s iCloud.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may find yourself in over your head for a time, but someone you have trusted in the past is likely to come to your rescue. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One good turn deserves another: Before the day is out, you’ll find yourself giving back to someone who has given generously to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You must be willing to adjust your schedule just a bit to accommodate others who are trying to join you in your current efforts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) See if you can’t let another do what you have been looking forward to doing yourself; he or she has more to gain from the experience.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll receive instructions that are not as easy to follow as you had hoped. You’ll want clarification — soon!

OBVIOUS LIES
‘I delivered Gosling’s new baby, too!’
Rihanna says what we’re all thinking CBS said Tuesday it was permanently editing a song featuring Rihanna out of its NFL telecasts after the singer issued a profane tweet about the incident. A portion of Jay Z’s “Run This Town” featuring Rihanna was cut from last Thursday’s Baltimore Ravens game because CBS was covering Ray Rice’s assault of his then-fiancee. “F--- you,” Rihanna tweeted Tuesday. “Y’all are sad for penalizing me for this.” (AP)
Lindsay Lohan claimed in a new interview that she handled the body of late singer Whitney Houston during her 2012 community service stint. “It’s different for me than it would be for other people,” Lohan told The Telegraph. “Like, no one would really have to work at the morgue in LA and roll a body bag for Whitney Houston.” An official for the Los Angeles coroner’s office told TMZ that Lohan never came in contact with Houston’s body.

GOSLING-ING?
What do you even call a little baby Gosling?
In his testimony for Marvin Gaye’s family’s lawsuit claiming he plagiarized from the late singer’s music, Robin Thicke admitted he was too high to write last year’s hit “Blurred Lines.” “I was high on Vicodin and alcohol when I showed up at the studio,” Thicke said, as quoted by The New York Post. “Pharrell [Williams] … wrote almost every single part of the song.” (EXPRESS)

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are parents of a baby girl, Us Weekly reported. Mendes gave birth on Friday to the couple’s first child. Though the actress had faced pregnancy rumors all year, Us confirmed in July that she was expecting. Mendes and Gosling began dating in 2011, the same year he hinted at his retirement, telling U.K. paper The Times that he would “make movies until I make babies.” (EXPRESS)
