page three Dockless bike-shares arrive in the District
SAFETY
TRANSPORTATION Bike-sharing as we know it in D.C. is about to change with the arrival of dockless systems. Starting today, cyclists in the nation’s capital will have access to GPS-tracked smart bikes that rent for as little as $1 and give users freedom to ride without having to plan their trips around fixed pickup and dropoff locations. Instead of heading to a kiosk, such as with the familiar Capital Bikeshare racks, dockless customers will use an app to locate the nearest available bike, usually parked on a street or sidewalk. Customers will scan a code on the bike to unlock the wheels and begin their trip. Once they‘re finished with the bike, they can park it any place it’s legal to park a bike. The bikes generally self lock. Payment is minimal and made electronically. “Everything is done through

More than 60 high schools and middle schools in Virginia are participating in a campaign to increase seat belt use among teens and youth. The four-week challenge is called “Save Your Tailgate, Buckle Up & Slow Down.” It’s aimed at encouraging young people to develop a lifelong habit by emphasizing that seat belts are designed to protect and save lives.

Bowser announces health care initiative
LEXINGTON, VA.
Lee’s church no longer named for rebel leader
A key problem: Poorest residents of D.C. don’t have care near home
U-Md. cancels class on raising medical pot MATT McCLAIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
THE DISTRICT The District’s poorest residents are still forced to travel far outside their neighborhoods for their health care, according to a report released Tuesday by Mayor Muriel Bowser. Less than 25 percent of Medicaid patients living east of the Anacostia River see a primary care doctor in their ZIP code. Despite efforts to expand services in Wards 7 and 8, many still call 911 emergency services for their basic health needs. And residents needing specialty care must commute downtown where most of the medical specialists are clustered. These are some of the issues addressed in the mayor’s 168page plan for the district’s health care systems. The plan, which since 1989 by law must be completed every five years, is broad in scope and short on specific recommendations. The regularly scheduled report however, was presented at a time when the city’s only public hospital, United Medical Hospital, is struggling financially and its quality of care has been suffering. Last month, the facility, which also is the only full-service hospital east of the river, was forced to close its maternity unit due to a series of grave mistakes.
BUZZ KILL
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s new health initiative is broad in scope, but short on specifics.
Health imbalances among District neighborhoods have been persistent and long-standing. Ten years ago when then-Mayor Adrian Fenty released his plan, he listed eliminating racial and ethnic health disparities as a priority. Bowser acknowledged during a press conference that “these are stubborn issues,” but said there have been marked improvements in the past decade. The district’s ability to expand Medicaid coverage — the public insurance program for the needy and disabled — under the Affordable Care Act has meant that 97 percent of all residents have insurance, she said. Since 2006, the city had committed to use its share of federal tobacco settlement funds to build community health centers in areas where residents have no easy
$16M
access to primary care doctors, promising at least a clinic each in Wards 7 and 8. But having high rates of insurance coverage and added medical facilities haven’t been enough on their own to enhance the quality of care in low-income areas. The mayor’s five-year report, which does not suggest any specific policy change, is intended as a guide to help D.C. make decisions about where it needs to focus its resources and to build on programs already proposed, Bowser said. She cited a pilot program that would place nurses in 911 call centers to help triage calls so emergency services are not dispatched for health issues that could be handled by a primary care doctor the next day. That is expected to start February 2018. COLBY ITKOWITZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)
A university’s pharmacy school has canceled classes on growing medical marijuana. The Baltimore Sun reported Monday that the University of Maryland appears to be concerned about how the Trump administration will enforce federal marijuana laws. Medical marijuana has been legalized in nearly 30 states, including Maryland. And Maryland state law requires workers who are employed by growers, processors, dispensaries and laboratories to have training in their areas. But the White House has not indicated how it will handle enforcement of federal laws that still classify the drug alongside heroin and LSD.

No charge in police shooting PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA. A police officer was justified in fatally shooting a 15-year-old boy who was advancing at him with a crowbar, a prosecutor said Tuesday. Police on Tuesday identified the teen who was shot and killed Friday as Ruben Urbina of Haymarket, a Washington suburb. At a press conference Tuesday, Prince William County
Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul Ebert said Urbina had mental problems and had attempted suicide the night before. On the day of the shooting, Urbina called 911 and claimed to have a bomb strapped to his chest, Ebert said. During the call, Ebert said Urbina indicated he was holding a family member hostage and was willing to be shot by police. When county police arrived, Ebert said officers saw Urbina strike his brother’s girlfriend with a crowbar. Ebert said Urbina then advanced at one of the officers with

the crowbar, getting to within 10 feet of him before the officer fired two shots. Urbina died at the scene. He did not have a bomb, but Ebert said officers found out after the shooting that he was also carrying a knife. None of the four officers at the scene were injured. The girl who was struck with the crowbar was treated at a hospital and released. Ebert said that despite concerns about Urbina’s mental issues, “there comes a point in time where police have to do what they have to do.” (AP)

A labor pioneer? Honor for Reagan draws union’s ire Q+A
Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO). In 1981, he fired more than 11,300 air traffic controllers when they did not end an illegal strike. PATCO then was decertified. When it comes to labor organizations, Reagan’s presidential actions overshadow his tenure with the Screen Actors Guild, which has its own controversy. Alex Bastani, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 12 at the Labor Department, expressed his union’s “shock and disappointment” in a letter to Acosta, urging him to reconsider. Bastani called Reagan’s PATCO firings a “cruel act of industrial violence.” Bastani added, the “temple honoring the work of men and women who sacrificed themselves to create an American middle class and who championed the causes of America’s working poor, is not the appropriate arena for Ronald Reagan.” Despite Reagan’s attack on a labor organization, the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) nominated him for the Hall of Honor because “he was a turning point for this country,” said SBA President Ed Mullins, noting Reagan’s
How veterans get preference in hiring process MICHAEL EVANS (THE WHITE HOUSE VIA GETTY IMAGES)
Isn’t it weird that someone who could contend for the title of America’s Greatest Union Buster will be inducted into the Labor Department’s Hall of Honor? While the union representing Labor Department employees says honoring former President Ronald Reagan is shocking, Labor Secretary R. Alexander Acosta thinks inducting the former president is a fine idea. So does the Sergeants Benevolent Association of New York City, a union that nominated him. No date for the induction has been announced. “Well before he led this nation, Ronald Reagan led the Screen Actors Guild during its first three strikes,” Acosta said when he announced the planned induction last month. “As President of the Screen Actors Guild, President Reagan negotiated neverbefore-seen concessions for SAG members, which included residual payments and health and pension benefits.” Curiously — or not — Acosta’s statement didn’t mention Reagan’s role in busting the Professional Air

status as the only U.S. president who led a major union. Mullins also said Reagan’s economic policies helped working people. Mullins said he understands the objections because of the PATCO episode, but added “Reagan had a big impact on the nation.” That’s true, but impact can be good or bad. Reagan was terrible for organized labor, which makes the SBA backing peculiar. When Reagan is inducted, he will join others whose positive contributions to working people
are beyond question. “The Labor Hall of Honor celebrates the bravery of strong, dedicated labor pioneers like Mother Jones, Cesar Chavez and A. Philip Randolph,” Bastani said in his letter. Bayard Rustin, Dolores Huerta, the pioneers of the farm worker movement and the workers of the Memphis sanitation strike also are the list of labor heroes and heroines. As a labor leader, Reagan was not in their league. Follow Joe Davidson on Twitter @joedavidsonWP

Q. Does being a veteran guarantee someone a federal job? A. No, but it certainly helps. Veterans whose military service meets certain standards get preference for a large majority of federal jobs. In competitive hiring, where agencies rank candidates for hiring in categories, veterans are placed above nonveterans within each category. And where agencies use numerical rankings, veterans get extra points. For jobs where formal competition is not practical, veterans’ status is still an advantage. There are additional advantages for disabled veterans, as well as a program in which veterans can be hired without competition into certain jobs for a trial period and then converted to the civil service later. Formal preference dates to World War II, meaning that veterans long have held a larger share of government jobs than in the workforce in general. A year ago that was 31 percent, up from 26 percent in 2009, although up only slightly from 2015, a new Office of Personnel Management report shows. About the same percentage of those newly hired in 2016 were veterans, actually down slightly from 2015. Counting only full-time, nonseasonal, permanent positions, the veterans’ share of those newly hired is even higher at 42 percent. ERIC YODER (TWP)

In the last message before falling silent, he appealed for international aid: “We will need help, my friends, we will need help of all kinds.” Officials on the neighboring French island of Guadeloupe reported at least one death: a person hit by a falling tree. They said two other people were reported missing after their boat sank east of Guadeloupe. About 40 percent of the island — 80,000 homes — were without power and flooding was reported. Next in the storm’s path was St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which was largely spared the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Irma on the chain’s St. Thomas and St. John islands just two weeks ago.

People walk by a fallen tree in Guadeloupe on Tuesday, where at least one person died from Maria.
Authorities in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, which looked likely to take a direct hit, warned that people in weaker homes
should find shelter before the storm’s expected arrival today. “You have to evacuate. Otherwise, you’re going to die,” said public safety commissioner Hector Pesquera. “I don’t know how to make this any clearer.” “This is going to impact all of Puerto Rico with a force and violence that we haven’t seen for several generations,” Gov. Ricardo Rossello said as rain began lashing the U.S. territory Tuesday. “We’re going to lose a lot of infrastructure in Puerto Rico.” Forecasters expect Maria to still be at Category 5 intensity when it moves over Puerto Rico today, bringing with it “lifethreatening” flooding from rain and storm surge.

The suddenly resurgent Republican effort to undo the Affordable Care Act was dealt a major blow on Tuesday when a bipartisan group of governors came out against a proposal gaining steam in the Senate. It was unclear whether it would derail the attempt, as pivotal GOP senators have said they are reviewing the plan. The collective criticism from 10 governors arrived as Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., tried to rally support for the bill. “We ask you not to consider the … amendment and renew support for bipartisan efforts to make health care more available and affordable for all Americans,” the governors said in their letter. They added that they prefer a bipartisan push to stabilize the insurance marketplaces that Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., have been negotiating. Although Alexander said Tuesday that they “have not found the necessary consensus among Republicans and Democrats.” On Tuesday, Pence traveled to D.C. with Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., in a high profile sign of White House support for the plan. Republicans have until Sept. 30 to use a procedural tactic to pass a broad health-care bill without any Democratic support. SEAN SULLIVAN, KELSEY SNELL AND JULIET EILPERIN/AP

Trump threatens N. Korea
Soviet officer who averted nuclear war dies
At debut speech at U.N., president warns that Kim Jong Un is on a ‘suicide mission’ terrorists” who have struck violence across the globe. He denounced “radical Islamic terrorism,” the inflammatory label he had recently shied away from. He denounced the Syrian government and warned that some violence-plagued portions of the world “are going to hell.” He also decried the “disastrous rule” of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro and urged the U.N. to step in. He made little mention of Russia. North Korea drew most of Trump’s attention and anger. His lashing was a vigorous restatement of what’s been said by U.S. leaders before, but was likely to hit home harder for being intensely delivered in diplomatic prime time at the U.N. General Assembly. After a litany of accusations — the starvation of millions, the abduction of a Japanese girl — he questioned the legitimacy of the communist government by referring to it as a “band of criminals.” As he lambasted North Korea, the nation’s two front seats for delegation leaders were empty. Two officials sat a row back, one taking notes. Trump, who has previously warned of “fire and fury” if Pyongyang does not back down, claimed that “no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well-being of their own people than the depraved regime in North Korea.” And he scolded nations that it was “an outrage”
American intention and treats as a reason for its development of nuclear weapons. That may offer some reassurance to China and Russia, which have urged the U.S. to tone down its rhetoric. Addressing the General Assembly is a milestone moment for any president, but one particularly significant for Trump, a newcomer to foreign policy who has at times rattled the international community with his unpredictability. He has pulled the U.S. out of multinational agreements, considered shrinking the U.S. military footprint in the world and frequently belittled the U.N. But Trump declared that U.N. members should unite: “We meet at a time of both immense promise and of great peril. It is entirely up to us whether we lift the world to new heights or let it fall into a valley of disrepair.” JONATHAN LEMIRE AND DARLENE SUPERVILLE (AP)

Trump, who has ramped up his rhetoric throughout the escalating crisis with North Korea, told the gathering of world leaders on Tuesday that “it is far past time for the nations of the world to confront” Kim Jong Un and said that Kim’s “reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons” poses a threat to “the entire world with an unthinkable loss of human life.” “ ‘Rocket Man’ is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime,” said Trump, using a belittling nickname for the North Korean leader. He said of the U.S.: “If it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.” Trump touched on hot spots around the globe, declaring, “The scourge of our planet is a group of rogue regimes.” Trump argued that individual nations should act in their own selfinterest, yet rally together when faced with a common threat. He urged nations to join to stop Iran’s nuclear program — he declared the deal to restrain it an “embarrassment” for the United States — and defeat “loser
1939 - 2017 Stanislav Petrov, a former Soviet military officer known in the West as “the man who saved the world” for his role in averting a nuclear war over a false missile warning at the height of the Cold War, has died at 77. Petrov’s German friend, Karl Schumacher, said Tuesday that he died on May 19. Schumacher called Petrov earlier this month to wish him a happy birthday, but was told by Petrov’s son Dmitry that his father had died. The Russian state Zvezda TV station reported the death on Tuesday. Petrov was on night duty at the Soviet military’s early warning facility outside Moscow on Sept. 26, 1983, when an alarm went off, signaling the launch of several U.S. intercontinental ballistic missiles. The 44-year-old lieutenant colonel had to quickly determine whether the attack was real. He chose to consider it a false alarm, which it was. The incident came at one of the tensest periods of the Cold War when the Soviet Union appeared to genuinely fear a surprise U.S. nuclear attack. A few weeks earlier, the Soviets had shot down a passenger plane it suspected of spying. And NATO exercises simulated preparations for a nuclear attack The false alarm was later determined to have been caused by a malfunction of a satellite, which mistook the reflection of the sun off high clouds for a missile launch.

Reactions World leaders had mixed reactions to Trump’s debut speech to the U.N. General Assembly. (AP/EXPRESS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “In over 30 years in my experience with the U.N., I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech.” Swedish Foreign Affairs Minister Margot Wallstrom: “It was the wrong speech, at the wrong time, to the wrong audience.” Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro: The speech was an “aggression from the new Hitler of international politics, Mr. Donald Trump, against … Venezuela.”

In an address to the nation Tuesday, Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi addressed the mass exodus of Rohingya Muslims and said her country does not fear international scrutiny and invited diplomats to see some areas for themselves. Although an estimated 421,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh in less than a month as their villages were burned and hundreds were killed, Suu Kyi said the “great majority” of Muslims within the conflict zone stayed and that “more than 50 percent of their villages were intact.” The Nobel Peace laureate’s global image has been tarnished by the violence.

A scheduled private meeting between President Trump’s personal lawyer and Senate committee staff was abruptly canceled Tuesday amid a dispute over a public statement he issued before the meeting. Senate intelligence committee leaders said they called off the closed-door staff meeting after Michael Cohen sent a public statement to the media just as the interview was about to start. Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and the panel’s top Democrat, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, said they would reschedule with Cohen and request that he return for a public hearing. (AP)

A police vehicle was burned and two officers suffered minor injuries. The vigil was held for Scout Schultz, 21, who was shot and killed Saturday night after calling 911 to report an armed and suspicious person, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. Schultz was the leader of a campus LGBT group and identified as nonbinary. Police said Schultz was suicidal and armed with a knife when they shot them. Schultz’s family said the “knife” was a multi-tool with no blade in sight. (AP/TWP)

In no rush to grow up More teenagers put off driving, dating and other traditional markers of adulthood Between 2010 and 2015, only 63 percent of high school seniors had gone on a date, a new study found.
THINKSTOCK
CULTURE Teenagers are increasingly delaying activities that had long been seen as rites of passage into adulthood. A study published Tuesday in the journal Child Development found that the percentage of adolescents in the U.S. who have a driver’s license, who have tried alcohol, who date, and who work for pay has plummeted since 1976, with the most precipitous decreases in the past decade. The declines appeared across race, geographic, and socioeconomic lines, and in rural, urban, and suburban areas. To be sure, more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the majorities have slimmed considerably. Between 1976 and 1979, 86 percent of high school seniors had gone on a date; between 2010 and 2015 only 63 percent had, the study found. During the same period, the portion who had ever earned money from working plunged from 76 to 55 percent. And the portion who had tried alcohol plummeted from 93 percent between 1976 and 1979 to 67 percent between 2010 and 2016. Teens have also reported a steady decline in sexual activity in recent decades, as the portion of high school students who have had sex fell from 54 percent in 1991 to 41 percent in 2015, according to Centers for Disease Control statistics. “People say, ‘Oh, it’s because teenagers are more responsible, or more lazy, or more boring,’ but they’re missing the larger trend,” said Jean Twenge, lead author of the study, which drew on seven large time-lag surveys of Americans. Rather, she said, kids may be less interested in activities such as dating, driving or getting jobs because in today’s society, they no longer need to.

socioeconomic spectrum, said Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University. “Even in families whose parents didn’t have a college education … families are smaller, and the idea that children need to be carefully nurtured has really sunk in,” she said. Although the study didn’t look at people under 13, Twenge said she suspects the postponement of adult behavior begins in early childhood, starting with the decrease in kids walking to school alone or playing unsupervised. The postponement of “adult activities” could not be attributed to more homework or extracurricular activities, the study said, noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurriculars as they did in the 1990s. Nor could the use of smartphones and the internet be entirely the cause, the report said, since the decline began before they were widely available. To Daniel Siegel, an adolescent psychiatrist, it makes sense that adolescents would “remodel” their brains to adapt to a society that has changed. “In a culture that says, ‘OK, you’re going to go to high school, go to college, go to graduate school, and then get an internship, and you’re not going to really be responsible till your late 20s,’ well then the brain will respond accordingly,” he said. Whether the changes are positive or negative depends on the reasons for delaying adult activities, Siegel said. If the delay is to make room for creative exploration and forming better social and emotional connections, it is a good thing, he said. But “if it’s fear-based, obviously that’s a concern.” TARA BAHRAMPOUR (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Debt-laden Toys R Us files for bankruptcy BUSINESS Toy store chain Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy Monday night after struggling for years to pay down billions of dollars in debt and remain relevant in an era of online shopping. Toys R Us has been spiraling toward bankruptcy for years. Analysts cited many reasons for the company’s demise: Lousy in-store customer service, a second-rate website and prices that are often higher than bigbox competitors like Wal-Mart and Target. Add to that piles of mounting debt — much of it dating to a 2005 leveraged buyout — and many said the 60-year-old brand was in trouble. “When you’re cursed with all this debt, there’s no way you can compete anymore,” said Howard Davidowitz, a retail consultant who worked with Toys R Us in the 1980s and ’90s. “This is a very bad situation, and it will weaken the company forever.” The company said its 1,600 Toys R Us and Babies R Us locations would operate “as usual,” and that it would work with its investors to address its debt of about $5 billion. The filing comes weeks before the holiday shopping season, which can account for half of retailers’ annual sales. So far this year, more than 300 retailers have filed for bankruptcy, including RadioShack, Gymboree and the Limited. Others, including Macy’s, Sears and Bebe, have closed hundreds of stores.

2nd temblor in weeks comes on anniversary of the disaster in 1985 CENTRAL MEXICO A magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocked central Mexico on Tuesday, killing at least 119 as of press time, as buildings collapsed in plumes of dust and thousands fled into the streets. The quake is the deadliest in Mexico since a 1985 quake on
the same date killed thousands. It came less than two weeks after another powerful quake left 90 dead in the country’s south. Scores of buildings collapsed into mounds of rubble or were severely damaged in densely populated parts of Mexico City and nearby states. Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said buildings collapsed at 44 places in the capital. Mancera said at least 30 had died in Mexico City, and officials in Morelos, just to the south, said

died in the State of Mexico, which also borders the capital. The quake caused buildings to sway sickeningly in Mexico City and sent people throughout the
city fleeing from homes and offices, and many people remained in the streets for hours. At one site, reporters saw onlookers cheer as a woman was pulled from the rubble. Rescuers immediately called for silence so that they could listen for others who might be trapped. The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 7.1 quake hit at 1:14 p.m. local time, and it was centered near the Puebla state town of Raboso, about 76 miles southeast of Mexico City. Much of Mexico City is built on former lakebed, and the soil can amplify the effects of earthquakes centered hundreds of miles away. MARK STEVENSON, CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN AND PETER ORSI (AP)

DONE FOR THE YEAR
JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Cravens said he wanted to come back
Coach Jay Gruden’s history indicates that he isn’t likely to stick to a run-heavy game plan this year.
RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
Pass-happy coach: Gruden won’t stay grounded for long The Redskins aren’t suddenly a running team. Coach Jay Gruden hasn’t become a disciple of ground-and-pound. After beating the Rams 27-20 with a rush-heavy approach, the passing game will still be welcome in Washington. The Redskins’ victory Sunday featured more runs (39) than throws (27). But for Gruden’s revamped offense to work at its best, mediumrange passes have to be the priority. In the past, all the coach has really wanted out of
a running game was to prevent second-and-10. Don’t look for the Redskins to stick with the run Sunday night at home against the Raiders. In the past three years under Gruden, Washington has had more running plays than pass attempts in back-to-back games just two times, in 2014 and 2015. This week, running back Robert Kelley is uncertain because of a rib cartilage injury, which could encourage Gruden to throw more. Gruden would be wise to keep running. The Redskins have won the last eight times
they ran more than passed, including Sunday. In 50 games under Gruden, the Redskins are 11-3 when they run more than pass. So why not keep running? Because the NFL is a passing league. Gruden dreams of fade routes, not draw plays. And the Redskins often play from behind, which requires more passing, and shootouts are too often the norm. Gruden’s not patient enough to keep pounding the ball when opponents start to pull away. The Raiders can be beaten on the ground. Oakland’s defense ranks 19th against the run after two games against the middling Titans and a Jets team that might be the NFL’s worst. But the Raiders have also scored an NFL-high 71 points in two games, so the Redskins may need to pass often to keep up. Gruden’s offense isn’t strong enough to do the same things each week. He adjusted well to the Rams by retreating from
the deep passes that failed in a Week 1 loss to the Eagles and asking Kirk Cousins to spread the ball around to seven different receivers. The offensive line, embarrassed by a bad opener, redeemed itself with a game plan heavy on pulling plays. As a result, the Redskins gained 229 yards rushing. The presence of Oakland pass rusher and 2016 Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack will be a deterrent, but if Kelley is limited, Gruden could revert to his pass-happy ways. Jamison Crowder, Chris Thompson and Jordan Reed — who is day-to-day with a chest contusion — should all be busy. It was good of Gruden to pound the ball so often. That will force Raiders coaches to scheme against the run and open up the play-action game. Still, Gruden has shown us for years that he prefers to pass.
Reports last weekend indicated that safety Su’a Cravens would return to the Redskins, but on Monday the team announced it was ending his season three weeks after he told them he wanted to retire. According to sources, Cravens’ agent met with Eric Schaffer, a member of the front office, in California on Saturday and relayed that Cravens wanted to return this week. But the Redskins believed that a year break on the reserve/left team list, which still offers team-based physical and mental health benefits, would give the 22-year-old time to resolve all his issues. A league source said it’s also believed that Cravens has an injury unrelated to a recent knee procedure. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Awful offense makes evaluating Eli difficult
RGIII FIRES BACK
‘To openly lie about me is a betrayal’
ANALYSIS At halftime Monday night, MetLife Stadium honored the 2007 Giants. Members of the Super Bowl team walked on the field and waved to the crowd while one of them sat in the locker room, trying to solve what has gone horribly wrong this year. Quarterback Eli Manning is one of only two Giants remaining from the team that knocked off the undefeated Patriots. Long snapper Zak DeOssie is the other. Manning is 36. The bellies and receding hairlines of his past teammates were a reminder that his career, which may send him to the Hall of Fame, will end soon. The Giants’ offense is broken, and they are wasting whatever remains of Manning’s effectiveness. The ugliness reached a nadir in a 24-10 loss to the Lions that dropped New York to 0-2. Manning might be done as an above-average NFL quarterback. But the coaches and players around him have been so atrocious it’s hard to tell whether he is a co-conspirator of the Giants’ horrific offense or a victim. They aren’t giving him a chance, either to succeed or to reveal he’s done. In the Giants’ past eight games, including a playoff loss last January in Green Bay,

Lack of talent around Giants QB keeps team from getting a true look
During his weekly appearance Monday on 106.7 The Fan, former Redskins receiver Santana Moss claimed that QB Robert Griffin III gloated after coach Mike Shanahan was fired in 2013 and took credit for the coach’s ouster because Shanahan had benched him. That prompted Griffin, who is not on an NFL roster after playing for the Browns last year, to respond online. “To openly lie about me is a betrayal,” Griffin tweeted Tuesday. He also posted that he had “been the good soldier” and was “in an impossible situation [with] a coach who never wanted me.” (EXPRESS)

they’ve averaged 13.1 points. Despite the downward trend last year, coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese changed nothing significant. Paul Perkins is still plunging 3 yards at a time with little burst or ability to break tackles. Left tackle Ereck Flowers, a 2015 first-round pick, looks like a bust. Brandon Marshall has been invisible except when he drops passes. The lone star, Odell Beckham Jr.,
is limited with an ankle injury. Manning isn’t blameless, but he’s a sitting duck behind awful blocking. He’s dumping the ball off even when there’s no pressure. There was another team Manning played on that started the year 0-2: The 2007 Giants. The Giants can find solace in that if they want, but their offense has been so terrible they would just be fooling themselves. ADAM KILGORE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Bryce Harper is progressing in his recovery Outfielder Bryce Harper hit on the field at SunTrust Park in Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon, hours before the Nationals were scheduled to play the Braves. He took normal-looking swings, shook hands with two young pitchers flown in just to pitch to him, fielded ground balls, then jogged off the field. Because of a bone bruise in his knee and strained calf, he hasn’t played in a game in more than a month. But Harper is getting closer to returning. Minor league seasons are over and he can’t go on a rehab assignment to work his way back into game shape after his midAugust injury. So the Nationals are bringing simulated games to him. The team flew in righthanders Sterling Sharp and Brigham Hill to pitch to him in a simulated game Tuesday. Presumably, he will need more live at-bats before returning to game action. He has not played in a game since Aug. 12. The Nats could still send Harper elsewhere for at-bats, like to instructional league in West Palm Beach, Fla. For now, he is still with the team. Harper put on a powerful batting practice display before Sunday night’s win over the Dodgers. Whatever his exact timeline, Harper seems likely to return by October, like the Nationals expected he would all along. CHELSEA JANES

Vrana leads crop of roster hopefuls CAPITALS Capitals rookie Jakub Vrana will make his preseason debut in Montreal tonight (7, CSN), skating on the first line alongside Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov. It’s nice work if you can get it.

The 2014 first-round pick is
also one of several Capitals prospects trying to stick in the NHL. In recent years, Washington’s lineup was mostly set before the preseason, but training camp this year includes internal competition for as many as six roster spots. In multiple recalls from AHL Hershey last season, Vrana had three goals and three assists in 21 games with the Caps. He has battled inconsistency and defensive deficiencies at both levels. “I had an up-and-down season last year,” Vrana said, “but I want to earn that spot and the big thing, I want to hold it for the year.” Vrana will be given every shot

Rookie winger will play with Ovi and Kuznetsov on the first line tonight
Washington’s blue line, which lost three regulars in the offseason, including veteran Karl Alzner. Capitals rookies scored just five goals last season after no rookies scored in 2015-16. Washington hasn’t dressed a rookie defenseman since 2014. The emergence of fresh faces is a storyline for the Caps, and at least one mainstay sees it as a positive. “If you look at some notfriendly teams who win two times in a row, they have young guys every year who step up and score,” Kuznetsov said in a nod to the Penguins. Three rookies played at least 20 playoff games for Pittsburgh in 2015-16. Rookie Jake Guentzel led the club in goals last postseason. “That’s the same chance for us,” Kuznetsov said. “Some young guys will step up too.”

Foo Fighters, rock solid
‘Take Me’
IAN GAVAN (GETTY IMAGES)
Aly & AJ
Even with a pop producer’s touch, Dave Grohl and Co. stick to their roots on ‘Concrete and Gold’
MUSIC REVIEW When news came out that Foo Fighters had turned to a polished pop producer for their next album — a hitmaker for Sia, no less — one could be forgiven for fearing the rockers were shedding their hard-charging skin. After listening to “Concrete and Gold,” it’s clear that’s not at all the case. Greg Kurstin, a member of the indie-pop duo The Bird and the Bee, who produced Adele’s “Hello” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You),” has actually pushed the band into some harder places over the album’s 11 tracks. The Foos can’t stop rocking, even with an uncredited appearance by Justin Timberlake. Take the outstanding “Run,” which starts with smoldering
chords a nd soft vocals before building into an apex of thrash metal, as frontman Dave Grohl impressively reaches deep into his throat, only to repeat the sonic cycle again and again. This is thrilling, heroic rock, and even harder than the band’s blistering, Grammy-winning single “White Limo” from 2011. “Make It Right” finds the Foos doing their best ’70s stomping rock impersonation and it goes down well (listen closely and you’ll hear Timberlake offer background harmonizing.) “La Dee Da” is a jolt of glam rock with distorted vocals and nihilistic lyrics. “Dirty Water” is a
Opposites attract As a fan of pop producer Greg Kurstin’s band, The Bird and the Bee, Dave Grohl tapped Kurstin to bring some of his sense of melody and composition to Foo Fighters’ “Concrete and Gold.” “I figured, OK, I can take care of the heavy part,” Grohl told Rolling Stone. “If [Kurstin] could do that Bird and the Bee thing over these massive riffs, then we will have made the album that I have always wanted to make.” (EXPRESS)
shimmering, blissed-out slice of ’60s-inspired alt-rock with an assist from The Bird and the Bee’s Inara George that morphs into a head-banger. The dirgelike title song is reminiscent of classic Pink Floyd.
Even when Grohl and Co. try a soft approach — like on the terrific “Arrows” — it’s only a matter of time before they’re smashing away at their instruments. The only exception is the “Happy Ever After (Zero Hour),” a pitch-dark acoustic oddity that sticks out for its lack of bite. The band takes a step toward more Kings of Leon-like arena rock with “The Line” and “Sunday Rain” — featuring, bizarrely, Sir Paul McCartney on drums. And the single, “The Sky Is a Neighborhood,” is a strained reach for a radio hit. But no one should have worried about a total pop sound: With the Foos, fans simply can’t get anything but full-throttle rock. It’s messy but it’s definitely not pop. MARK KENNEDY (AP)

Netflix is making a hip-hop ‘Superbad’ Netfli
French Montana, Wiz Khalifa, Kyle Harvey, Harv Teyana Taylor and Blair Underwood are teaming up for a coming-of-age Netflix comedy called “Th “The After Party.” The movie has a “music business theme,” according to Variety, and follows two friends friend on “one wild night” as they try to cinch a record deal before one heads off to college and the other to the military. It will shoot in New York and include other celebrity cameos. (EXPRESS) HBO renews “The Deuce” for Season 2
“Saturday Night Live” to continue airing live coast-to-coast this season
Sister duo Aly & AJ — Disney Channel stars from the mid-aughts who you haven’t wondered about since — have re-emerged. The video for “Take Me,” a pop track dripping with ‘80s influence, is shot like a campy neo-noir film from the same decade, with the two playing sultry vampires feasting on victims (one is “Silicon Valley’s” Amanda Crew). It’s absolutely bizarre and unexpected and almost so bad that it’s genius. BRYANNA CAPPADONA (EXPRESS)
‘Too Good At Goodbyes’ Sam Smith
British singer Sam Smith’s “Too Good at Goodbyes” has all the ingredients of a Sam Smith song: his soulful crooning, lots of heartbreak, a gospel choir. You’ll maybe shed a tear or two. The video for the single is just as melancholic, artfully documenting Smith and other very sad people who are also, presumably, too good at goodbyes. B.C.

MUSIC Twenty years ago this month, Mariah Carey released “Butterfly,” an album that marked a pivotal moment in her career — and not just because it followed her very public split from music exec Tommy Mottola. The title was symbolic — Carey was coming into her own. Her clothing style grew noticeably sexier. She was more playful with fans, more frank in interviews. But most importantly, the album introduced Carey, largely considered a pop singer, as a veritable hip-hop collaborator. Working with rappers had been commonplace for R&B singers, but it was relatively new terrain for pop stars. “Butterfly” found Carey teaming with hiphop heavyweights including Sean “Puffy” Combs (now known as Diddy), Q-Tip, Stevie J and Missy Elliott. Carey had dabbled in the genre on her previous album, “Daydream.” But with guest verses from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Mase, The Lox and Mobb Deep, “Butterfly” proved Carey was more than comfortable in the hip-hop space. The album — and Carey’s subsequent collaborations with rappers like JAY-Z, Nas, Cam’ron and Snoop Dogg

The star’s 1997 album changed her career — and the future of pop
With verses from artists like Mobb Deep and The Lox, Mariah Carey’s “Butterfly” paved the way for more pop and hip-hop collaborations.
— helped pave the way for other pop stars (looking at you Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry) to sing alongside their rap contemporaries. Despite generally favorable reviews, some critics were clearly skeptical of Carey’s supposedly new sound. In his review for The Washington Post, Richard Harrington declared “there are two Mariah Careys on ‘Butterfly.’ “One is the pop-oriented, ballad-leaning traditionalist who works very effectively with her longtime professional partner, composer-producer Walter Afanasieff,” he wrote. “The other is a self-styled hip-hop fanatic.” If critics — or fans — took a cynical view of Carey’s affinity for hip-hop, they simply weren’t
paying attention to her discography (see: “Fantasy,” “Long Ago”) or her background (a multiracial woman who spent formative years in New York City, the birthplace of hip-hop). At this year’s Hip Hop Honors, which aired Monday night, VH1 honored Carey for her many hiphop collaborations. DJ Khaled called her “the queen of the remix.” Dupri, her frequent collaborator, called her “the innovator of the sound that you basically hear now.” Damon Dash, who co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records with JAY-Z, said that “everybody that likes rap, likes Mariah.” “I don’t even look at her like outside of our culture, she’s in it,” he added. “Mariah’s hip-hop.” BETHONIE BUTLER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

RUMORS
Jen walks back CK claim In a new Village Voice profile, comedian Jen Kirkman seemed to walk back her 2015 claim that Louis CK gave her and other women “weird treatment.” Her comments at the time exacerbated rumors that CK has been sexually inappropriate with female comics. “I think this might be a case of there’s nothing there,” she told the Village Voice. “If any women want to come forward and say what he’s done, I’ll totally back them.” (EXPRESS)
