Three Bears Try to Revamp Old Fairy Tale, Get Bored Three bears camped out in a tree in a residential neighborhood over the weekend, Central Florida News 13 reported. Authorities were called Saturday when neighbors in Longwood noticed the bears searching through trash cans. When the bears were spotted, all three ran up the same tree. Fish and Wildlife experts told folks to leave the bears alone and that they would likely return to the forest. On Sunday, the bears had left. (EXPRESS) NEW FEARS

Today, President Barack Obama will present Army Staff Sgt. Ty Carter with the Medal of Honor for courageous action during a daylong firefight in Afghanistan in 2009. Carter will be the fifth living recipient to be given the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Medal of Honor Given

Saturday’s March on Washington gave young Americans, including Jocelynne Scott, 6, of Alexandria, above left, and Howard University students and alumni a chance to push for reform.

Fast-Food Workers Plan Strike Fast-food workers in the U.S. plan to stage a nationwide strike Thursday asking that their salaries be raised to $15 an hour and that they be allowed to form unions without retaliation. At least eight cities have pledged to strike.

Presidential Meet-Up President Barack Obama will host President Toomas Hendrik Ilves of Estonia, President Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania and President Andris Berzins of Latvia on Friday at the White House. The presidents will discuss joint efforts to advance human rights and democratic values.

‘This Is Our Time … Our Moment’ Young activists shine at anniversary of the March on Washington Washington Mary-Pat Hector of Atlanta was operating much like a 1960s civil rights activist as she laid plans for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. She was constantly on the phone as she confirmed event details, tweaked the draft of the speech she would give at Saturday’s rally at the Lincoln Memorial, and prepared for a presentation. Mary-Pat is 15 years old. Just as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led the Montgomery Bus Boycott at age 26 and Rep. John Lewis helped to lead freedom rides at 23, young Americans like Mary-Pat are not letting age get in the way as they seek more than a contributing role in the push for social reform. Saturday’s march included several youth speakers — the youngest, Asean Johnson of Chicago, just 9 years old. Young people were eager to inﬂuence this year’s March on Washington, says Jessica Brown, national coordinator for the Black Youth Vote coalition, which organized sev-

Lessons From 1965 Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., the only surviving speaker from the 1963 March on Washington, railed Saturday against a recent Supreme Court decision that effectively erased a key anti-discrimination provision of the Voting Rights Act. Lewis was a leader of a 1965 march where police beat and gassed marchers who demanded access to voting booths. “I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma, Ala., for the right to vote,” he said. “I am not going to stand by and let the Supreme Court take the right to vote away from us.” (AP)

eral youth events around Saturday’s march to the Lincoln Memorial. “Of course you have the seasoned people who are there,” Brown said. “But you’re starting to see the pickup of the youth saying, ‘This is our time, this is our moment.’ ” In 1963, those “seasoned people” were A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, who birthed the idea of a Washington march to appeal for jobs and justice that ultimately attracted 250,000 people. Today, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III, who were 8 and 5 years old, respectively, in 1963, are the veterans who brought thousands to the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. The King Center has also organized a ceremony for Wednesday, the actual march anniversary, when President Barack Obama will speak. Unlike the narrow focus on jobs and freedom in 1963, this year’s march sought to address an array of issues. Sharpton expanded the march’s original goals — combatting high black and youth unemployment — to include a call for action after the Supreme Court invalidated parts of the Voting Rights Act, and to protest “stand your ground” laws and stopand-frisk police tactics. Sasha Costanza-Chock, an assis-

Meanwhile … Former Secretary of State Colin Powell called the jury verdict that cleared the killer of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin “questionable” and urged President Barack Obama to speak more on issues of race during an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation” that aired Sunday.

tant professor of civic media at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says young people’s willingness to simultaneously address “multiple dynamics of oppression” shows how youth activism has matured. “You have a lot more young people now talking about … the ways that different structures of race, class, gender and sexuality cannot be fought only one at a time,” CostanzaChock said. “They have to be looked at together and struggled for together.” SHAQUILLE BREWSTER (AP)

For 30 years, Ike Bunney has run a dude ranch amid the tall pines and steep canyons along the North Fork of the Tuolumne River in California’s Sierra Nevada. Now his 15 horses are safe in distant pastures as a wildfire on the northern edge of Yosemite National Park threatens his mountain community. “I think they’re worried about the fire sparking over these hills,” said Bunney, who was maintaining vigil Sunday at his Slide Mountain Guest Ranch. With winds gusting to 50 mph on Sierra mountain ridges and flames jumping from treetop to treetop, hundreds of firefighters have been deployed to protect the communities in the path of the Rim fire raging north of Yosemite National Park.

U.S. Considers Next Move in Syrian War There is “very little doubt” that a chemical weapon was used by Syria against civilians in an incident that killed at least 100 people last week, but President Barack Obama has not yet decided how to respond, a senior administration official said Sunday. The official said the U.S. intelligence community based its assessment, which was given to the White House, on “the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured,” and witness accounts. The official said the White House believes the Syrian government denied a U.N. investigative team immediate access to the site of last Wednesday’s purported chemical attack in the Damascus suburbs in order to give the evidence of the attack time to degrade. The official said the regime’s

U.N. experts have been permitted access to the site of the purported chemical attack.

Mubarak, Islamist Cases Heard Egyptian courts Sunday heard separate court cases against former President Hosni Mubarak and top leaders of his archrival, the Muslim Brotherhood, over allegations of killing protesters in separate instances. Egyptian media portrayed the prosecution of longtime foes as “trials of the two regimes,” a possible attempt to show that both Islamists and secular-leaning Mubarak authoritarian regimes are alike after a July 3 military coup toppled President Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood member. In a heavily fortiﬁed courtroom in eastern Cairo, Mubarak looked relaxed in dark sunglasses and white clothes as he appeared for

Syria reached an agreement with the United Nations on Sunday to allow a team of international experts to visit the site of an alleged chemical-weapons attack last week outside Damascus, state media and the U.N. said.

continuing shelling of the site also further corrupts any available evidence of the attack. The purported chemical attack has prompted U.S. naval forces to move closer to Syria. Obama met with his national security team Saturday to assess the intelligence and consider a U.S. military response, almost a year after warning President Bashar Assad’s government that the use of chemical weapons was a “red line” for the United States. The White House had concluded previously that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons in limited incidents, but last week’s attack is suspected of being the deadliest single incident of the Syrian conﬂict that has killed more than 100,000 people since March 2011. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday that a chemical attack “appears to be what happened.” Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Republican Sen.

The four in detention were not present in the downtown Cairo courtroom for security reasons. Weeks of mass rallies by Muslim Brotherhood supporters over Morsi’s ouster have weakened over the past days as security forces have detained many Brotherhood leaders. The military-backed government has responded by relaxing curfew hours, trying to signal a return to normalcy across the country. MAGGIE MICHAEL (AP)

Iraq Attacks Kill 46 as Instability Continues Insurgents bent on destabilizing Iraq killed at least 46 people in numerous attacks scattered around the country Sunday, striking targets as varied as a coffee shop, a wedding party convoy and a carload of off-duty soldiers. Attacks have been on the rise in Iraq since a deadly security crackdown in April on a Sunni protest camp. Many of the victims have been civilians going about their normal business despite the risks. More than 3,000 people have been killed in violence during the past few months, raising fears the country could see an even deadlier, sectarian round of bloodshed similar to what brought the country to the edge of civil war in 2006.

Chinese Politician Calls Witness a Liar

These fraternal twins have shared many experiences throughout the years, including A-fib. Bernita was the first one to have the condition—which causes an irregular and rapid heartbeat. For her, A-fib typically began at night, while she slept. Natalie’s A-fib came on when she was stressed. Both sisters had tried medications, but their episodes didn’t let up. They discovered MedStar Heart Institute—offering the region’s leading heart rhythm disorders program, the most advanced treatments for A-fib and a new heart alliance with Cleveland Clinic—the nation’s #1 heart program. After ablation procedures eliminated irregular heartbeats, Bernita and Natalie were able to get back to the normal rhythm of life.

Stessel said the problem isn’t new and Metro has been pumping out the water “for years now.” “It requires constant effort, along with single-tracking during evenings and weekends, just to maintain the status quo,” he said. “That’s why we are considering long-term solutions to resolve it and improve reliability over the long haul.” He said it is “too early to know” if Metro will shut down a p or t i on of t he R e d L i ne .

Washington For a few terrifying minutes Saturday night, keepers at the National Zoo thought their precious, dayold giant panda cub might be dead. T he zoo’s pa nda ca meras appeared to show the vibrant, squirming cub of Friday now lying silent and unresponsive on the abdomen of its mother, Mei Xiang. Memories of the death of the zoo’s 6-day-old panda cub last Sep-

tember came flooding back. Then the keepers heard robust squealing coming from elsewhere. They realized — to their joy and sorrow — that what they were seeing on camera was the stillborn body of a second cub. As zoo officials recounted the tense moments of Saturday night, senior curator Brandie Smith told of the “five minutes of pure terror,” followed by relief when they realized what had happened. The whole time, Mei Xiang had the first cub tucked under her arm where keepers didn’t notice it until it squealed. Zookeepers were able to give the first cub a 10-minute physical

Upgraded Classrooms Await Some Md. Students Montgomery County, Md. When more than 150,000 Montgomery County students head back to school this morning, many will find new technology in their classrooms. This summer, the school district replaced more than 9,300 computers and installed wireless networks in more than 100 schools. More than 2,000 classrooms will have brand-new interactive whiteboards. The upgrades are part of the county’s move to increase digital learning as it aims to meet new national education standards. “These changes are facilitating important shifts in the ways teachers are teaching and students are learning,” said Sherwin Collette, chief technology ofﬁcer for Mont-

gomery County Public Schools. By the end of September, all of the county’s schools are expected to have full wireless Internet capabilities. Wireless connectivity will be important in Maryland — and 44 other states — as they administer online exams in 2014 under Common Core State Standards, which is intended to create more consistent educational expectations across the country, rather than having varying requirements from state-to-state. Today is also the first day of classes for many D.C. charter schools and more than 45,000 students in the city’s traditional school system, which has pushed aggressively in recent years to align instruction to Common Core standards.

The whirlwind of events began at 3:36 p.m. Friday when the zoo’s new high definition panda cams captured Mei Xiang’s water breaking. Keepers waited to see if a twin might arrive but after midnight concluded that a second cub was unlikely. Pandas often have twins, but they usually arrive within about six hours of each other. The second cub’s birth 26 hours after the first was highly unusual, zoo officials said. Murray said the second cub’s physical deformities were extensive.

Chief veterinarian Dr. Suzan Murray said it felt like a strong kitten, “much stronger than I had anticipated.” The cub had a full stomach, and veterinarians reported that it has been digesting its food, zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson said. Its heartbeat is steady, and its lungs appear to be functioning properly. Zoo officials also do not yet know the cub’s sex. The zoo was able to get a mouth swab, from which DNA may be extracted and used to establish paternity. Mei, 15, was inseminated in March with semen from two male giant pandas.

AT A RALLY SATURDAY MORNING. THE WARD 8 REPRESENTATIVE GAVE AN IMPASSIONED SPEECH FOR STATEHOOD, DESPITE NOT BEING ON THE OFFICIAL SPEAKER LIST.

The controversy over academic testing has spread to an unlikely frontier in Washington: preschool. Some D.C. parents are protesting a proposal by the city’s public charter school board to rank preschools based largely on how children as young as 3 are performing on reading and math tests. The board set out to provide a clearer picture of how charter schools compare with one another. It also wants to provide educators with a way to measure progress toward the goal of better preparing children for school. But as of Saturday, more than 200 parents had signed a petition asking the board to take a broader look at school quality and put more weight on social and emotional development. “People are going to focus on what is measured,” said Luba Vangelova, a parent who spoke against the plan. “This is going to steal time away from the things that really matter, like play and exploration.” MICHAEL ALISON CHANDLER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

That College ID Can Be Your Ticket to Discounts Students can use the card to get deals on clothes, food, laptops That plastic college ID card is worth more than you think. Flashing the card at stores and restaurants can get you major savings. But many of the deals are not advertised, so it never hurts to ask. RadioShack and Banana Republic, for example, offer discounts to college students yearround. Online sellers, such as Amazon.com, will use your college email address to send you deals. The deals expire when your college education does, so take advantage of them while you can. Here’s what you need to know:

Technology Deals If you’re in the market for a new laptop or other electronic devices, you’re in luck. Many companies offer deals for college students. Apple has special pricing on its laptops and desktop computers, both at its online and physical stores. MacBook Pro laptops, for example, are discounted by $200.

Food Discounts Many fast-food companies, such as Subway and Dairy Queen, offer discounts, but not all stores participate. Fast-food restaurants are often owned by individuals and not the parent company. The companies can’t enforce the discount. So ask at the counter whether they offer any discounts.

You can also search “student discount” at retailmenot.com for newer or limited discounts, says Trae Bodge, a senior editor at the online coupon and deals company. JOSEPH PISANI (AP)

In Schools, a Call to Arm In first full year since Newtown, more officers with guns are on patrol

A Nationwide Push

DAVID GOLDMAN (AP)

In the Fort Lauderdale, Fla., suburb of Pembroke Pines, students returning to school this year are being greeted not only by their teachers and principal. They’re also meeting the armed school resource officer who will be stationed permanently on campus. Crime in this middle-class community has been on a steady decline, but city officials decided to place a police officer at every elementary, middle and high school after a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last year. In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre, many districts across the nation are increasing the number of school resource officers on campus and, in some, permitting teachers to carry concealed weapons. An armed security presence is now standard in many middle and high schools, but it has been a rarity at elementary schools. Few districts can afford to place a resource officer at every elementary school because there are so many schools and they tend to have fewer incidents requiring a police response. Bernard James, a professor at California’s Pepperdine University, said one clear trend among legislation introduced since Newtown has been the assessment of the security of elementary school campuses. There are more than 67,000 elementary schools nationwide, more than twice the number of middle and high schools combined. Sandy Hook Elementary had all the standard safeguards and more,

Last Week’s Weapon: Words An elementary school bookkeeper was hailed as a hero last week after she persuaded a gunman to surrender during a standoff and shooting Tuesday in Decatur, Ga. President Barack Obama phoned Antoinette Tuff to thank her and later said, “She probably saved a lot of lives, including the life of the potential perpetrator.” Police and school officials said that Tuff’s quick thinking and empathetic demeanor helped head off a tragedy after she was taken captive by Michael Brandon Hill. That has led some, including Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak, to say that Tuff’s ability to use words instead of weapons offers a counterpoint to efforts to arm teachers or add armed guards to schools. Hill had an AK-47-style rifle and nearly 500 rounds of ammunition, police said. No one was hurt. (AP/E XPRESS)

Lawmakers in every state introduced school-safety legislation this year, and in at least 20 states, those proposals became law, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A Franklin County, Ala., law authorizes a volunteer, emergency security force at schools. A Missouri law authorizes state employees to keep firearms in a vehicle on state property, if the car is locked and the weapon is OK’d by authorities and not visible. (AP)

including a locked, video-monitored front door. It did not have a school resource officer. Instead, like most districts, there were police officers at nearby middle and high schools. Advocates cite many advantages to having an officer stationed at school: Students who see or hear something suspicious immediately know whom to tell; the mere presence of an officer can deter would-

be attackers; and if a gunman does attack, a school resource officer is already there to respond, saving critical minutes between a 911 call and dispatchers mobilizing police. “That first, immediate shot, chances are nobody is going to be able to stop,” said Kevin Quinn, president of the National Association of School Resource Officers. “The difference is going to be responding to it.” Quinn said his group has trained twice as many new officers as last year, more than 90 since January. While some question the need for an armed presence on campus, arming teachers and others when a school resource officer can’t be hired is even more controversial. At least three states have passed laws allowing teachers to carry handguns on campus. Quinn and others worry that an armed teacher may actually put kids more at risk, rather than protect them. If a shooter did come on campus, for example, teachers might have to choose between safeguarding students and leaving them to respond to an incident. An armed teacher on campus also could hamper a responding officer’s ability to ID a gunman, Quinn said. “Who’s the bad guy?” he said. “Who’s the teacher with the gun?” CHRISTINE ARMARIO (AP)

Bad Start Ruins End of Trip Nats get down early, and comeback falls short in series finale Nationals The Washington Nationals fought back to erase a four-run deficit, but the Kansas City Royals scored two runs in the eighth inning to win 6-4 on Sunday. Salvador Perez homered in the Royals’ four-run first inning, then drove in the tie-breaking run to help Kansas City end a seven-game skid. With two out and a runner on first, and the game tied 4-4 in the eighth, Billy Butler hit a hard grounder that first baseman Adam LaRoche knocked down.

Washington starter Dan Haren entered the game 4-0 in six career starts in Kauffman Stadium and had never allowed more than two earned runs in Kansas City, but that quickly changed.

Niko’s night was made complete when the Indians defeated the Twins 7-2. (AP)

The Washington Redskins improved to 3-0 in the preseason with a 30-7 win over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday in a game that likely represented a last look at the starters until the Sept. 9 season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. It wasn’t a typical third preseason game, which usually showcases first-stringers into the third quarter. Because of the short turnaround following last Monday’s game, starters basically played just one quarter. But there still was plenty to take away. MIKE JONES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

5 Observations From the Redskins’ Win 1. Running back competition

2. Poise on defense

3. Pass-rush packages

4. Battle for No. 3 quarterback

5. Forbath clearly the top kicker

Things definitely appear to have taken shape in the backfield, where Roy Helu Jr. has emerged as the clear-cut, change-of-pace running back behind Alfred Morris, who had another strong performance in limited action. Helu presents a speedier threat. He isn’t as good as Morris in picking up the tough yards, but his abilities in the open field are evident. This is a good combo for the Redskins.

Some of the talk entering this game centered on how the Bills’ up-tempo offense would give the Redskins a good test in advance of their date with the Eagles, and Washington’s defense appeared to handle this challenge with ease. Veterans credited London Fletcher’s leadership and their own strong communication skills. The Redskins also did well against the Bills’ option plays.

Defensive coordinator Jim Haslett continues to exhibit creativity on his fast nickel packages, and he’s succeeding in his goal of getting all of his pass-rushers on the field at the same time. Darryl Tapp and rookie Brandon Jenkins have done well to make quick transitions to Washington’s scheme, and both recorded sacks against Buffalo. “You can never have too many passrushers,” Haslett often says.

Rex Grossman demonstrated why coaches value him so much as he moved the starting offense up and down the field with ease and demonstrated a great command as he directed scoring drives of 86 and 70 yards to open the game. Pat White also directed a touchdown drive and showed his ability in the zone-read packages, but he just doesn’t have the feel that Grossman does.

The Redskins brought in John Potter over the offseason to compete with Kai Forbath, but the kicking job is securely in Forbath’s possession. Forbath remains clutch on field goals, nailing a 54-yarder on Saturday, and he exhibited improved leg strength, recording two touchbacks against the Bills. If he can do that on a consistent basis, Washington will be just fine.

Roger Federer faces Grega Zemlja in his first-round match today at the U.S. Open.

Federer in a Fight With Father Time 32-year-old believes he can revert back to 7 major-winning form Tennis These two numbers are not the sort that Roger Federer likes to see beside his name: One of them — his age, 32 — he cannot control. The other — his ranking, No. 7 — he insists he can. “People are going to say what they like,” Federer said Saturday, two days before his ﬁrst-round match at the U.S. Open. “Important is that I concentrate on my game and that the passion is there, that I work the right way, that I’m prepared, and that I feel like I can win a tournament.” In June, the ﬁve-time U.S. Open champion exited Wimbledon in the second round, the earliest he’d been dismissed from a major tournament since the 2003 French Open. Starting with that loss, his season has included a steady diet of defeats that would have once been considered freakish and a withdrawal from a tournament that went

unexplained. All these factors point toward an obvious conclusion: Age is taking its toll on the most decorated men’s player ever. But Federer doesn’t envision quite such a grim picture. A bad back that might help explain some of his summer doldrums is no longer bothering him. His ranking may have dropped from third to seventh in the nine weeks between Wimbledon and the Open — where his first-round match is today against 61st-ranked Grega Zemlja — but Federer considers himself ﬁt enough to contend. “Now I can really say I’m really just focused on the point for point, and that’s why I’m not concerned,” he said. “My back problem is not that major. I just need to make sure I don’t have any bad moments in the future.” EDDIE PELLS (AP)

Rockin’ at the Opera Personalities from pop music turn to an unlikely genre to indulge their creativity

‘Glickman’ (HBO) Many know Marty Glickman, below, from his work in broadcasting from the 1940s through the 1980s. This documentary tells the story of how the Jewish-American sprinter wasn’t allowed to compete for the U.S. in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin because of anti-Semitism.

Led Zeppelin fans found a new reason to dislike opera this year — if they cared enough about opera to dislike it in the first place. Choosing it over rock, the iconic band’s bass player, John Paul Jones, scotched the most recent round of rumors about a possible reunion concert next year. “2014 is full of opera for me at the moment,” Jones said. He isn’t planning on going to operas, or listening to them. He is writing one. It’s based on the short play “The

“When you do something as engrossing as opera, every time you ﬁgure something out, you want to get it better next time.” — STE WA RT COPEL A ND OF THE POLICE

Ghost Sonata” by the 19th-century Swedish playwright and author August Strindberg. Jones is one of a number of rock musicians trying their hands at opera. Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters spent years writing and reworking the French Revolution epic “Ca Ira,” released as a recording in 2005 and performed a couple of times since. Stewart Copeland of The Police recently attended the American premiere of his fourth opera (a one-act setting of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”) and is working on his ﬁfth. And Damon Albarn, of Blur and

ALASTAIR MUIR (REX FEATURES/AP)

Stage

Gorillaz, may be the most successful of all. His “Monkey: Journey to the West,” which opened in 2007, just ran at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival, and his “Dr. Dee” made a splash at the Manchester Festival in 2011 and was performed at the English National Opera during the London Olympics in 2012. Classical music purists dismiss this kind of thing as a gimmick. And the naysayers can point to history to back them up: Rock musicians exploring classical genres have not exactly produced a string of masterpieces (think Paul McCartney’s

treacly “Liverpool Oratorio” or Billy Joel’s undistinguished “Fantasies and Delusions,” a CD of solo piano works). But what’s interesting about many of these recent attempts is that they aren’t one-offs. Evidently, some serious musicians from outside the operatic canon, such as Copeland and Albarn, are looking to opera as a genre that allows a kind of artistic freedom and creativity not possible in other arenas, and they’re deepening their relationships with it. For a musician coming to the medium for the first time, the term “opera” indicates one more

thing: status. Sure, as Copeland says, “Opera is at the bottom of the food chain in terms of what people could give a rat’s a-- about in the world.” But, he says, “opera is … the highest mountain to climb if you’re growing as a musician, ﬁguring out new things to do with your instrument. People like John Paul Jones or Roger Waters want to get beyond the four-piece band. Both those guys were in outﬁts that completely exploded the boundaries of what bands were supposed to do, and yet there’s still more.” ANNE MIDGET T (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Opera for Everyone “Opera as a form can go forward and allow people to use these incredible facilities to find something new,” Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn, left, told reporters at a news event at the English National Opera last fall. “At some point, I hope I can deliver something to the ENO that ticks every single box but doesn’t compromise where I come from as well. If you can do that, you’ll truly get a new audience in here because it will make sense to everybody.” (TWP)

“Later, the books will be revealed to have been written by JK Rowling.” — COMMENTER HELLEPHANT AT GAWKER.COM jokes about the origin

of purported unpublished books by J.D. Salinger. A forthcoming documentary and related book — both titled “Salinger” and set for release next week — claim that a series of posthumous Salinger releases are planned. According to sources, ﬁve books, which revisit classic Salinger characters such as Holden Caulﬁeld of “The Catcher in the Rye,” could start hitting bookshelves in 2015.

“It can be hard to think of emoticons as art. On one end of the emoji spectrum you have a technically precise, surprisingly appetizing slice of pepperoni pizza, and on the other … a smiling pile of poop.” — LIZ STINSON AT WIRED.COM

considers the artistic side of emoticons. A new app called Emojify converts standard photos into collages composed of hundreds of emoji and emoticons.

“If social is the future of media, then optimistic stories might be media’s future.” — ELIANA DOCKTERMAN AT IDEAS.TIME.COM points to the rise

of social media to explain why hopeful stories are getting more eyes online than snarky posts. While people may still click on negative articles, she writes, they may be less likely to share them on social networks, where, according to research, people tend to want to create positive images of themselves.

“Mayor Gray would do well to show his support for all local tech companies, not just those he has strategically invested in.” — KEN ARCHER AT GREATER GREATERWASHINGTON.ORG advis-

es D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray to rethink the way he shows his support of the District’s growing tech and startup community. Instead of subsidizing speciﬁc organizations such as LivingSocial, Gray, Archer says, should support D.C.’s tech scene by enacting policies that create viable urban centers that encourage all entrepreneurs to live, work and innovate in D.C.

“The strongest theory is that someone illegally bought an exotic cat as a pet and it escaped or was let go.” — SAMAR KALAF AT DEADSPIN.COM com-

ments on reports that an unusually large cat has been spotted roaming the streets of Detroit. While the exact size has yet to be conﬁrmed (one eyewitness claims the mystery feline was 4 feet tall), many, including Kalaf, are speculating that it is an ocelot, an exotic South American species that resembles a miniature leopard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’re after certainty, and the feeling of security and confidence it brings, but today it’s likely to elude you. Keep on asking questions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Random events keep you guessing, but if you pay attention long enough, you’ll sense a pattern. Then, you will have something to work with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your desire to control what goes on around you, in ways both large and small, may keep you from focusing on the real issue at hand. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll be playing “connect the dots” for much of the day, but what you learn as the picture takes shape will prove satisfying.

Friday’s Solution

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Focus on conserving resources. Inspiration may be in short supply for a while, so you must rely on your sense of responsibility. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’re in no mood for resistance, so you’ll want to be sure you do not follow a path that takes you into a rival’s territory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The more detailed your plans are, the more likely you will be to have a contingency plan for when things don’t go as expected.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Some things may seem obvious to you and not to others. Your discernment can make the difference in several key endeavors.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re tempted to do something different with your time, but you still have certain responsibilities to fulfill. Use care.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The more you know what’s at stake, the more you’ll be willing to do what is necessary to ensure a positive outcome.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll want to avoid even the slightest error, especially early in the day when you are settling in and reaching your stride.
