A couple in Bath, England, put an ad on a child care website offering a qualified person the equivalent of $3,400 to give their kids “the talk” about the birds and the bees, the Mirror reported. Their children are ages 8 and 7. The mom admitted she and her husband hoped to avoid the conversation altogether, but now feel it’s time. They provided a list of subjects to be covered, including periods, masturbation and birth control. (EXPRESS)

Stealing a picnic basket is one thing. Mauling a car is another. A state biologist said a bear attacked a woman’s empty car Friday in Sontag, Miss. Jamie Holt said there were tooth and claw marks consistent with a bear on the front wheel wells and hood. There was headlight damage, and the front license-plate holder was torn off. And there was a muddy bear track nearby. There was no food in the car, so the reason for the attack is a mystery. (AP)

THEATER “Hamilton” mania hit the Kennedy Center website Wednesday morning, when all online visitors were placed in a virtual waiting room for its members-only sale of tickets to the mega-hit show. While thousands logged on to the website for the chance to purchase seats to the long-awaited run of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s award-winning hip-hop musical, there were also huge lines outside the Kennedy Center to get to the box office. Those who wanted to buy tickets online to any of the hundreds of other Kennedy Center events were placed in the “Hamilton” waiting room with everyone else. At one point, more than 70,000 users were in the system. As for the physical line at the box office, the first person queued up around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Kennedy Center spokesman Brendan Padgett said. The arts center anticipated high demand for the members’ presale for the show, which begins a 14-week run at the Opera House

on June 12. The virtual waiting room was an attempt to prevent the demand from crashing the site, as has happened in the past. Padgett said that everyone visiting the website Wednesday was directed into the waiting queue before they were asked to sign in to the Kennedy Center website. The Kennedy Center won’t disclose how many members it has — or how many it gained with the “Hamilton” promotion — but the number of people online was inflated by those who had multiple browsers open, as well as those seeking information or

tickets for other events. About 2,000 people an hour were moving through the online waiting room, Padgett said. Altogether, there are about 260,000 tickets for the entire run. Kati Brown became a Kennedy Center member for Wednesday’s pre-sale, and she logged on to the website at 7 a.m. “hoping to get a good spot,” she said via email. “I figured if I’d gotten them it would have been $60 well spent,” said Brown, who lives in Bristow, Va. “My spot is 44,016, so no, I did not get a good spot in line.”

Not everyone was disappointed. Ruth Dewa Ayu of Bethesda, Md., bought a membership for the opportunity to purchase “Hamilton” tickets. She logged on at 6 a.m. and went back to the computer just before 10. Her randomly assigned place was 250, and about 20 minutes later she was purchasing four $99 tickets. “It was really straightforward,” she said. Others fumed about highpriced tickets being available almost immediately on resale sites, many for over $1,000. PEGGY MCGLONE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

High school game moved due to racial comments

Clues for Amazon’s HQ Amazon’s search for a site for its second headquarters is now playing out mostly behind closed doors, as officials from 20 locations that are finalists provide additional materials. As anticipation builds, new clues surface seemingly every day about where Amazon is headed, one revelation overtaking the next. So why not indulge? Here’s a sampling of guesses. JONATHAN O’CONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Austin

Montgomery County

Arlington County

Boston

Amazon founder Jeffrey P. Bezos (who owns Express and The Washington Post) recently starred in the company’s Super Bowl spot. But that’s not what caught the attention of folks in the capital of Texas. The ad opens with an Alexa device giving a tooth-brushing woman a report on the weather in Austin. As Texas Monthly put it, “It’s a big ol’ clue, as far as we’re concerned.” Alexa is later asked to play country music, another obvious reference to Austin. (Unless, of course, it’s a nod to Nashville.)

When Amazon announced its list of 20 finalists, the company included a comment from executive Holly Sullivan, who said the search helped it learn “about many new communities across North America that we will consider as locations for future infrastructure investment.” One place Sullivan presumably didn’t need to read up on was Montgomery County, where her very job was to grow the county’s economy as president of the now-defunct Montgomery Business Development Corp.

Arlnow.com discovered that it had received thousands of clicks from an amazon.com domain on an article titled, “County Wins Top Environmental Award From U.S. Green Building Council.” The site reported that “the vast majority” of about 6,000 views appeared to come from Amazon and that the traffic source “appears to be an internal amazon.com page devoted to its HQ2 search.” The article reports how Arlington County was the first in the country to earn top certification for use of green and resilient buildings.

A week after Amazon began its search and weeks before the deadline to submit information, Bloomberg News reported that “several” senior executives advocated putting the second headquarters in Boston. The reasons were many, and believable: Boston has wonderful colleges and a lower cost of living than New York, and Amazon had already purchased a local robotmaker there. Amazon strongly refuted this, tweeting, “Bloomberg is incorrect — there are no front-runners.”

BUSINESS

Md. officials debate breaks for Amazon Maryland lawmakers expressed unease Wednesday about the $5 billion cost of Gov. Larry Hogan’s package to lure Amazon’s second headquarters to Montgomery County, even as the administration unveiled a new study saying the project would add nearly $8 billion a year to state paychecks. Legislators at the House hearing voiced concern about a price tag they described as unprecedented in Maryland. “It’s an eyepopping number,” said Del. Jason C. Buckel, R-Allegany. Despite the wariness, legislators — who must approve the proposed tax incentives for them to be offered — were enthusiastic about the prospect of winning a nationwide contest for the Amazon project and up to 50,000 good-paying jobs. (TWP)

MARYLAND GUN SAFETY

The amount Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says the state plans to commit to make schools safer from violence like shootings. Hogan said Wednesday the money would be used to accelerate and enhance improvements such as secure doors and windows, metal detectors, security cameras and panic buttons. The Republican governor also says he will commit an additional $50 million a year in new school safety grants to supplement and improve state and local school safety efforts. (AP)

Serious high-wind event possible in the D.C. area Friday; may cause damage

A Maryland girls’ high school basketball playoff game between Frederick and Linganore will be held at a neutral site and closed to the public today, after racial comments were allegedly made toward Frederick players during the team’s win over Linganore in January. The Class 3A section final, instead of being open to the public, will be limited to the players, coaches and a select number of family members. The game will be livestreamed on YouTube for the community and other spectators to watch. (TWP) BALTIMORE

The Baltimore Sun reports that the city’s spending panel unanimously approved his four-year contract and approved his $210,000 annual salary without discussion. (AP) VIRGINIA

Ex-governor’s company files for bankruptcy A company founded by former Virginia Gov.

McAuliffe resigned from GreenTech in 2012, but featured the company prominently in his 2013 race. (AP)

building was cleared for re-entry and normal operations had resumed. The FBI and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service continue to investigate, she said. No further details about the incident were available. The Army’s Fort Myer and Henderson Hall, formerly a Marine facility, combined to form the joint base in 2009. Army, Marine and civilian personnel work at the post. Henderson Hall is primarily used as an administrative facility for Marines in the capital region, Rubalcaba said. JUSTIN WM.

Chris Jones, the Appropriations chairman in the Virginia House of Delegates, started his Friday last week with a death threat. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that Jones, R-Suffolk, was home when he overheard a man berating a woman outside. Jones walked outside and saw a man had doused a homeless woman in hot chocolate and was threatening to burn her eyes out. Jones asked the man to leave her alone and turned away. He was then attacked from behind. Jones escaped with neck scratches and a ripped shirt thanks to help from neighbors. Police said no arrests have been made. (AP)

Police said a Maryland man threw sulfuric acid on his roommate’s face and body, leaving her with critical injuries. Prince George’s County police said in a statement Tuesday that they had arrested Bekre Abdela, 28, in the weekend attack. Officers responded to a home in Hyattsville for a report of a roommate dispute. They found a woman suffering from what appeared to be chemical burns. She was taken to a hospital, where police said she remained in critical condition. The statement says Abdela was arrested Monday and has “admitted his involvement.” (AP)

VIRGINIA The Republican-controlled Virginia General Assembly has defeated every bill the city of Charlottesville advocated for in the wake of a white nationalist rally last summer. Measures dealing with Confederate monuments, independent militias and gun restrictions have been quickly squashed before reaching the full floor of either chamber. They have mostly died along party-line votes. Some Democratic lawmakers contend their Republican colleagues put party politics ahead of public safety. But Republicans largely criticized the bills as bad policy and argued they wouldn’t have prevented the car attack

that left Heather Heyer dead. “I recognize the enormous political pressure on those representing Charlottesville to file legislation in response to the terrible conflict and protests in

Charlottesville,” said Sen. Mark Obenshain, a Republican committee chairman. “We also have to recognize that the tragic consequences would not have been prevented by any of the bills.” Hundreds of white nationalists converged for the largest gathering of its kind in at least a decade. Counter-protesters gathered, too, and violence broke out. “I’m very concerned because I don’t think we’ve seen the last of these types of demonstrations,” said Brian Moran, Virginia’s Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security. “I wish the legislature had seen fit to equip our localities with the ability to ensure the public safety of their citizens.” SARAH RANKIN (AP)

TOKEN OF APPRECIATION

Police officers high-five students as they return Wednesday to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Hugs, tears and officers: Fla. high school reopens Heavy police presence on hand for students as they return to class PARKLAND, FLA. Students and teachers hugged and cried Wednesday as they returned under heavy police guard to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for the first time since a teenager with an assault rifle killed 17 people and thrust the Florida school into the center of a renewed national gun debate. The half-day began with fourth period so the nearly 3,300 students could first be with the people they were with during the shooting. “In the beginning, everyone was super serious, but then everyone cheered up and it started being the same vibes we had before

the shooting. People started laughing and joking around,” said Kyle Kashuv, a junior who said he hugged every teacher. On the way in, teens were guarded by hundreds of police officers. Also on hand were comfort animals, including dogs, horses and a donkey. One horse had “eagle pride” painted on its side, a nod to the school nickname. Some of the officers carried military-style rifles. Superintendent Robert Runcie said a heavy police presence would continue for the remainder of the school year. The heavy arms rattled some students. “This is a picture of education in fear in this country. The NRA wants more people just like this, with that exact firearm, to scare more people and sell more

4,118

guns,” said David Hogg, who has become a leading voice in the student movement to restrict assault weapons. About 150 grief counselors were on campus “to provide a lot of love, a lot of understanding” and to help students “ease back” into their school routines, Runcie said. Students were told to leave backpacks at home. Principal Ty Thomas tweeted that the focus would be on “emotional readiness and comfort, not curriculum.” Kashuv said he was most moved by a tattoo his teacher got that said “MSD Strong” with a giant eagle. “The shooting doesn’t define us,” he said. “We’re really moving past it and trying to heal.”

Israeli group mints coin to honor Trump An Israeli organization said Wednesday it has minted a coin bearing President Trump’s image to honor his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The Mikdash Educational Center said the “Temple Coin” features Trump alongside King Cyrus, who 2,500 years ago allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem from their exile in Babylon. The organization minted 1,000 biblical half-shekel coins that can be purchased with a minimum donation of $50. The coin cannot be used as currency. The Trump coin is likely to rile Iranians, opponents of the U.S. who uniformly respect King Cyrus as an ancient Persian hero. (AP)

GENDER-AFFIRMING SURGERIES

The number of gender-affirming surgeries that took place in the U.S. from 2000 to 2014, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Surgery, with their frequency increasing fourfold over that period. The rise may be related to an increase in insurance coverage. About half paid out of pocket between 2000 and 2005, and 65 percent between 2006 and 2011. Between 2012 and 2014, the number dropped to 39 percent, largely because of Medicare ending its ban on transgender surgeries in 2014.

Dick’s, Walmart raise age limit for gun buyers BUSINESS Dick’s Sporting Goods will no longer sell assault-style firearms, will ban high-capacity magazines and will not sell any guns to people younger than 21, the company announced Wednesday, a significant move for the retail giant in the midst of renewed calls for national gun reform. Chief executive Edward W. Stack made the announcement during an appearance on “Good Morning America,” as well as in a company statement that said “thoughts and prayers are not enough” in the wake of America’s latest mass shooting. Two weeks ago, a gunman killed 17 people, most of them teens, in Parkland, Fla., with a legally purchased AR-15. The alleged shooter, Nikolas Cruz, bought a shotgun from a Dick’s store in November, Stack said during the interview. Although that weapon was not the one used in the massacre, Stack said his company was moved to act. On Wednesday evening, Walmart announced that it too would raise the minimum purchase age to 21 and remove items on its website that resemble assault-style weapons. The retailer ended sales of assault-style weapons, including the AR-15, in 2015. The announcements carried symbolic and retail heft as companies are under pressure to drop discounts and other ties to the gun industry and the National Rifle Association.

Trump aide will leave communications post in the next few weeks POLITICS Hope Hicks, the White House communications director, said Wednesday that she is leaving the administration sometime in the next few weeks. Hicks, 29, began working for President Trump before he announced his candidacy and has

been a constant at his side over the past three years, managing his public image and advising him on policy and other matters. A political neophyte, Hicks exerted extraordinary influence in the White House as arguably Trump’s most trusted aide. The announcement of her departure comes one day after Hicks testified Tuesday before the House Intelligence Committee in its investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Hicks to resign from White House Hope Hicks testified Tuesday before the House Intelligence Committee.

Officials said Hicks had decided in recent weeks to leave the administration and told Trump she wanted to explore opportunities outside of the government. “ T here a re no words to

adequately express my gratitude to President Trump,” Hicks said. “I wish the President and his administration the very best as he continues to lead our country.” In his own statement, Trump

said, “Hope is outstanding and has done great work for the last three years. She is as smart and thoughtful as they come, a truly great person. I will miss having her by my side but when she approached me about pursuing other opportunities, I totally understood. I am sure we will work together again in the future.” Hicks was crying as news of her impending departure rippled through Washington and beyond, a senior official said. Though she had told key aides of her plans, she had not had an opportunity to brief the whole White House communications team until shortly after The New York Times first reported the story.

Best Part-time MBA Program The body of the Rev. Billy Graham rested atop a catafalque Wednesday.

Capitol honors ‘America’s pastor’ RELIGION In a solemn ceremony, President Trump and congressional leaders paid tribute to the Rev. Billy Graham Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol, calling him “America’s pastor.” As the body of the evangelical leader lay in honor in the Rotunda, Trump and congressional leaders delivered brief speeches praising Graham. Lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., then filed past Graham’s casket, pausing at times for prayer. Trump, the first lady, Vice President Pence and lawmakers stood silently as Graham’s casket was placed on a raised box called a catafalque that was constructed by the Capitol’s

official architect. Most of Trump’s Cabinet attended the ceremony, as did many — but not all — members of the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. The House recessed Tuesday evening in tribute to Graham. Some Senate hearings were underway elsewhere on Capitol Hill during the ceremony. Other dignitaries who filed through the Rotunda on Wednesday included Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. and the Rev. Franklin Graham, the minister’s eldest son. The world-renowned evangelical leader died Feb. 21 at 99 at his home in Montreat, N.C. Graham will be buried Friday in a private family service in Charlotte; President Trump is scheduled to attend.

SMOKING WHILE PREGNANT

7.2%

The proportion of women who smoke during pregnancy despite the well-known risks to mother and baby, according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CNN reported Wednesday. The rate was highest among women aged 20-24 (10.7 percent). One analyst said the overall percentage likely is even higher because the 2016 study was based on self-reporting by women.

Teacher fires a single shot in high school classroom

Immigration official: 800 avoid arrest after warning

In public spat, Sessions responds to Trump’s insult

A social studies teacher barricaded himself inside a classroom at a high school in Dalton, Ga., on Wednesday morning and fired a handgun once, authorities said. No students were in the classroom at the time, and the only injury was a student who hurt her ankle running when Dalton High School was evacuated. The teacher, 53-year-old Jesse Randal Davidson, was taken into custody without incident after a 30- to 45-minute standoff with officers, a police spokesman said. After the gunshot, the school was immediately placed on lockdown. It wasn’t immediately clear why he had the gun at school and fired it, police said. (AP)

A top immigration official said Wednesday that about 800 people living illegally in Northern California avoided arrest because of a weekend Twitter warning by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf. Schaaf warned residents of large-scale, impending raids by immigration agents in the San Francisco Bay Area, escalating tensions between California officials and the Trump administration. The Justice Department is looking into whether Schaaf obstructed justice. Federal immigration agents arrested more than 150 people in California in a three-day sweep after Schaaf’s warning Saturday night. (AP)

President Trump returned to verbally attacking his attorney general Wednesday, describing as “disgraceful” Jeff Sessions’ handling of Republican complaints that the FBI abused its surveillance power in the Russia investigation’s early stages. Sessions insisted the Justice Department had acted appropriately, saying it “will continue to do its work in a fair and impartial manner according to the law and Constitution.” Sessions on Tuesday suggested the inspector general will evaluate whether prosecutors and agents wrongly obtained a warrant to monitor a former campaign associate.

Trump wants a gun bill President calls for stronger background checks and more mental health resources WASHINGTONPOST.COM TO YOUR HEALTH

CDC researcher lost promotion before vanishing

President Trump holds a summit on gun safety with 17 House and Senate lawmakers.

“comprehensive background checks” by endorsing legislation to extend the pre-purchase reviews to online and gun show sales. “You said that you would be ‘strongly pushing comprehensive background checks’ in an effort to combat the epidemic of mass shootings that has plagued our country,” wrote the four senators led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., citing Trump’s weekend tweet after the Florida shooting. “We couldn’t agree more.” Legislation has been revived in the Senate to close the gun show and online sales loophole. Democrats appealed to Trump to use his influence on Capitol Hill. “With your leadership, Mr. President, we have an opportunity to break through the gridlock that has held this issue hostage for so many years and finally enact the kind of commonsense gun safety legislation that over 90 percent

Banning bump stocks? President Trump said he will unilaterally bar bump stocks and asked Congress to send him one “terrific” bill aimed at reducing gun violence. “I’m going to write that out,” Trump said of bump stocks — devices that turn rifles into automatic-style weapons and were used in the Las Vegas mass shooting last fall. While speaking to lawmakers gathered at the White House for a summit on gun safety, Trump said he can bar bump stocks with an executive order. He added: “You won’t have to worry about bump stocks.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

of Americans, both Democrats and Republicans, support,” the senators wrote. Among those at the White House were Sens. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., who are pushing their bill — which failed twice in the

Senate after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting — to broaden background checks. “I think the mindset changed right now,” Manchin said Wednesday on “CBS This Morning.” Republican leaders, who have the majority in the House and Senate, are reluctant to lead on legislation without knowing they have Trump’s support and can rely on his popularity with a core flank of the GOP electorate to shield them from political blowback. But Trump, who met with 17 senators and representatives from both parties, has proven an inconsistent partner in such policy debates, offering sweeping proposals — including his tweet for stronger background checks — only to drift from them. Manchin said: “The political reality we’re living in today is if President Trump doesn’t get behind something they won’t have the cover.” LISA MASCARO AND MATTHEW DALY (AP)

POLITICS President Trump said Wednesday that Congress should act quickly on gun laws as he convened lawmakers at the White House and pushed for tougher background checks, better school safety and more mental health resources to prevent shootings. “We can’t wait and play games and nothing gets done,” Trump said as he opened the session with 17 House and Senate lawmakers. “We want to stop the problems.” Trump particularly cited the need for stronger background checks, which have been resisted by Republicans in Congress and the National Rifle Association. But the president said he told NRA officials recently that changes in gun culture are needed. “Hey, I’m the biggest fan of the Second Amendment,” Trump said. “It’s time,” he said he told the NRA officials. “We have to stop this nonsense.” The White House meeting came amid fresh public debate over gun laws, fueled by student survivors of the massacre at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who have been meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Momentum on gun legislation has stalled in Congress as Republican leaders showed little interest in pursuing stricter gun control laws and Democrats pushed new restrictions following the Florida shooting. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told the president that if he backed legislation in Congress to expand background checks, as proposed under a bill twice rejected in the Senate, it would pass. “It is going to have to be you,” Murphy said. Ahead of the session, Senate Democrats urged the president to follow through on his call for

Police investigators are bewildered as they work through the “extremely unusual” circumstances surrounding the missing-person case of Timothy Cunningham, a 35-year-old researcher who vanished Feb. 12. Cunningham told colleagues he was not feeling well and left work at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta, not long after speaking with his supervisor about why he was passed up for a promotion, Atlanta Police Maj. Michael O’Connor said. Cunningham had spoken to his sister by phone before arriving at work that day, and then called his mother at 9:12 a.m., presumably on his way home, O’Connor said. His mother did not pick up. Police have searched nearby woods, canvassed hospitals and jails, reviewed cellphone records, looked in cemeteries and flown over the area. Authorities said they do not suspect foul play but that they have not yet ruled it out, either. The search is now in its third week, and police don’t appear to be any closer to finding signs of Cunningham alive or dead. “The most unusual factor in this case is that every single belonging that we are aware of was located in the residence,” including Cunningham’s keys, cellphone, credit cards, debit cards, wallet, IDs and passport, O’Connor said. His car and dog were also found at his home. ALEX HORTON

Fla. sports lift spirits

‘Don’t worry about me’

The school shooting in Parkland, Fla., has driven national debate over gun control and left a community reeling. This week, several South Florida teams have given locals simple reasons for joy. (EXPRESS)

During a disappointing season filled with injuries and a whiff of scandal, Turgeon says he doesn’t feel any heat MARYLAND After one of the darkest days of his career was over, complete with a 24-point home loss to Michigan and the admission that his university was looking into alleged illegal payments to one of his former players, Maryland coach Mark Turgeon’s cellphone began to buzz with messages, wondering about his state. “Don’t worry about me. This is when I’m at my best,” Turgeon replied to each. The next day, he carried on with his life. He went to the Maryland women’s basketball game, in the same arena that echoed with boos a day earlier. He attended each of his two sons’ basketball games. “I wasn’t hiding. I’m proud of what I’ve done this year,” he said. Entering this season, those public appearances wouldn’t have underscored such tension. Turgeon had led Maryland to three straight NCAA Tournament berths, including its first Sweet 16 in more than a decade in 2016. He had just completed the first season of a new four-year contract extension. Despite losing junior guard Melo Trimble, he was returning a promising nucleus that included NBA prospect Justin Jackson. The state of Maryland’s program looks far different entering this week’s Big Ten tournament in

New York. After earning a doublebye into the quarterfinals as a top-four seed for three years in a row, the Terrapins (19-12, 8-10) fell to eighth place this season and will meet ninth-seeded Wisconsin (14-17, 7-11) today at Madison Square Garden (noon, BTN). Maryland’s attendance, once among the highest in the country, has dipped to fifth in the conference. The school has been entangled in the FBI’s investigation into corruption in college basketball, and is conducting an internal review into alleged payments from an agent to former player Diamond Stone. Barring a minor miracle, the team isn’t poised to make the NCAA Tournament. Add in injuries and questionable coaching decisions, and Turgeon’s seventh year at Maryland has been a slog, rife with calls for his job from fans online. “There’s not a coach in America that doesn’t have that with his job,” Turgeon said. “… I’m just worried about making our team better.” He has often blamed himself for coaching blunders, especially in close games. Maryland has lost eight by six points or fewer this season, including by one point at Michigan in January, when Maryland’s defense allowed a half-court pass that led to the winning points in the final seconds.

3 Douglas hockey title The Stoneman Douglas High hockey team pulled off an upset Sunday to win a state title that players dedicated to their 17 fallen classmates and faculty members.

2 ’Canes buzzer-beater The Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball team snagged a 91-88 upset Tuesday at No. 9 North Carolina when Ja’Quan Newton drilled a half-court shot at the buzzer.

Position appears secure Maryland coach Mark Turgeon insists he isn’t feeling the heat from a season full of downturns. Several factors bolster his job security. R.S. Insiders say Turgeon remains on solid ground with the school and most donors, and that his success over the previous three seasons won him goodwill with many fans. According to 247sports, Turgeon has a top-15 incoming recruiting class, which includes McDonald’s allAmerican Jalen Smith of Baltimore. The athletic department is in flux, although interim director Damon Evans is a strong candidate to succeed former AD Kevin Anderson. The balance of his $2.56 million annual salary is guaranteed through 2022-23 if he’s fired for performance.

Soccer: PSG reverses position, says that Neymar will have surgery for cracked foot bone

Terrapins players have missed a combined 61 games because of injuries, forcing Turgeon and his staff to implement a motion offense midseason and cut down practice time late in the year to preserve the remaining players. As Maryland trudged through a regular season that included just one win (Butler) against teams ranked in the top 50 of the Rating Percentage Index, the players refused to use injuries as an excuse, and Turgeon appeared more upbeat. That’s why, despite all of the turmoil, Turgeon would not give up hope that his team could make one last push in the postseason. “Nobody wants to win more than I do,” Turgeon said Monday. “This is my life. This is what I do.”

Washington has made the postseason six times in four years but never advanced. It keeps coming up, and it annoys him. So on Wednesday — known as Hump Day — Martinez had his team confront the hump. Three humps, actually. In the form of camels. “I want it out there,” Martinez said. “For me, as I thought about it, the hump is every day. And I want them to embrace it, not fear it.

Tim Bogar mounted Blondie. Attempts to persuade bullpen catcher Henry Blanco to climb on Brownie failed. The show was another example of the tone Martinez has tried to instill. He keeps things light and loose. He demands energy. Monotony is avoided. He wants players to look forward to work. Martinez spent 10 years as bench coach under manager Joe Maddon, who brought snakes, a merengue band and a magician to Rays and Cubs clubhouses. Martinez has acknowledged that Maddon is a significant influence but insists he isn’t a replica. So he didn’t hesitate when a fan asked Wednesday morning if he was channeling Maddon. “No,” Martinez said, “this is me channeling me.” JORGE CASTILLO

Forte retires after decade spent with Jets and Bears

Pizza Hut is new sponsor after Papa John’s fallout

Jets running back Matt Forte announced his retirement Wednesday after 10 NFL seasons. “It’s time for the workhorse to finally rest in his stable,” he wrote on social media. Forte, 32, had one year left on his contract, but knee problems during two seasons with New York, as well as his age, made him a likely salary cap casualty. The move saves the Jets $3 million on the cap. Forte, who spent his first eight seasons with Chicago, posted 14,468 yards from scrimmage in the past 10 years, the most of any NFL player during that span. His 102 catches in 2014 set a record for running backs. (AP)

up front A detour to the Caribbean DINING Jenna Mack had no interest in becoming a restaurateur. An events professional, she bought Old Engine 12 in Bloomingdale more for the party space than anything else. At the most, she figured she might host pop-ups in the century-old building, a former firehouse. Then she tried chef Peter Prime’s cooking — not the lasagna or mussels from Old Engine 12’s menu, but the food of his native Trinidad. “It was a big platter

of meat, piled with mouthwatering oxtails, lacquered chicken and more,” Mack recalls. As she dug into the feast, she announced, “THIS is the restaurant!” Out went the pizza oven and granite slab tabletops and in went avocado fritters, midcentury modern furnishings and a fresh name: Spark at Engine Co. 12. Spark (1626 N. Capitol St. NW) opened in early February with the goal of delivering an uncommon taste of the Caribbean in the District.

The second floor is a 1,500-squarefoot ballroom, while the third level can seat 12 or so guests in the “captain’s lounge.” Mack’s only involvement in the menu is with dessert. She tested ideas at home before asking Prime to revise them. One of them is the Urban Legend, so named for the childhood myth that Coke and Pop Rocks, eaten together, would explode in the stomach. At Spark, the notion is disproved with banana fritters, over which the diner sprinkles the candy and a Coke-andrum syrup. Snap, crackle, fun! TOM SIETSEMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Having lived and worked in D.C. for nearly 30 years, Williams says, “I could probably do several dream days. But I’ll go with this one — for now.”

I would open my day at Calabash Tea. I love the way it smells, I love the people who work there. I’d have that amazing chai or, better yet, I’d just let the baristas ask me, “How are you feeling?” and let them structure something based on what I need that morning. I wanna get a little exercise in, so I’d go down to Kennedy Recreation Center on Seventh and P streets. I might do that little outdoor track they have,

It’s time to head over to Shaw. I’ll probably meet some friends for drinks in Blagden Alley. D.C. has so many hidden, secret spots. When you’re in those little alleys, it feels like you’re discovering new, cool things. I like The Dabney, the environment is great; the Columbia Room, where you get those high-end cocktails; and I love that Asian restaurant, Tiger Fork. As an artist, I gotta catch a show. I might check out Mosaic Theater Company, maybe something at the Kennedy Center, Arena Stage, or even Theater Alliance in Southeast D.C. Definitely gonna do some arts and see what’s up in the scene.

and they have these exercises you can do, you know, pushup bars and other little exercises.

There’s this club I like to hang out at when I do hang out: Flash. The music is very, very different. They have really good DJs and house music.

Since I’ve exercised and I’m feeling good, I wanna get something to eat. I like Sumah’s West African Restaurant on Seventh Street. Or I’d do something really historic and go to Saint’s Paradise Cafeteria, in this historic church on Sixth and N, for a little taste of D.C. soul food. It’s like walking into 1940s, 1950s D.C.

One of my favorite jukeboxes is at Ben’s Chili Bowl. I’d hit there around 2 a.m. and wind the night down. When I was here in the late ’80s, there was only Ben’s and Lee’s Flower Shop and Industrial Bank [on U Street]. Ben’s has been through so much, so I like to go there and see them thriving in the city. (AS TOLD TO LORI McCUE)

drawing from among her friends and friends of friends. “I’ve been doing this show for two and a half years, and only three couples have actually broken up,” Filbin says. “For most couples, being on the show is a bonding experience, because it’s an ordeal they’ve gone through together.” Hanging out with people who are happily in love used to be Filbin’s idea of torture. In fact, she once tried to throw a woman out of her apartment simply because the visitor was brimming with joy about her recent engagement. “I was like, ‘I cannot share my space with this person,’ ” Filbin recalls. Realizing that this wasn’t the healthiest of attitudes, Filbin created her game show to work through her feelings. She also started going to therapy. “I grew up with the belief that I wasn’t good enough to find love, and so when I saw other people in love, I felt like, ‘F--- them that

they get this, and I have to be on the outside,’” Filbin says. While Filbin may have created “Let Me Break You Up” to poke holes in couples’ facades of happiness, the show has ended up softening her own attitudes toward love. (The therapy has helped, too, Filbin says.) “Now I love being around people in strong relationships,” she says. “It feels really good to get offstage and be with two couples that just had shared this experience and are stronger because of it.” Though she isn’t in a relationship, Filbin plans to date a lot this spring and find true love in the summer. She promises that if all works out as planned, it won’t hurt her show. “I have plenty of bitterness stored up to keep this going for a long time,” she says.

Then you have that in common with Brooklyn-based comedian Carly Ann Filbin, and you’ll love her live game show “Let Me Break You Up: An Anti-Dating Game Show,” which comes to the Black Cat on Saturday. The show is set up like “The Newlywed Game,” the iconic TV game show where people are asked to predict their spouses’ answers to personal questions. However, instead of going on a fabulous honeymoon, the winning couple in Filbin’s show simply gets to stay together, while the losing couple must break up onstage — a process that involves holding up a hand and solemnly swearing, “I do not love you. And I am currently picturing other people naked.” Filbin, 32, recruits the two couples ahead of each show,

In the one-woman show “Becoming Dr. Ruth,” Naomi Jacobson plays the beloved sex therapist.

Q+A | NAOMI JACOBSON AND HOLLY TWYFORD

Getting to the heart of Dr. Ruth Did you know that America’s favorite sex therapist fled Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport, briefly worked as a sniper in Jerusalem as a teen and was wounded in an explosion during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war? Holly Twyford and Naomi Jacobson certainly didn’t before they signed on as the director and the star, respectively, of “Becoming Dr. Ruth” at Theater J. The one-woman show depicts a 69-year-old Dr. Ruth Westheimer on GETTY IMAGES

fame doling out sex advice on syndicated radio and TV shows. Twyford and Jacobson, who’ve worked together in D.C. theater for more than 20 years, agreed they would tackle Mark St. Germain’s play about this funny, formidable woman only if they could team up. “We both sort of said, ‘I’m not doing this without you,’ ” Jacobson says. LORI MCCUE (EXPRESS) How has your understanding of Dr. Ruth changed as you’ve worked on the show? Naomi Jacobson: I think the cheerfulness and the joy that she finds in life is in direct proportion to the pain and loss that she experienced. Whatever happens to her, she willfully just makes it a positive experience. It’s a need to offset the depth of what she experienced as a young person. It seems very real to me, that her way to survive is to move forward and accept and invite and embrace and champion life. It’s a therapy for her, as well. Jacobson: When she was first famous, she wouldn’t talk about

her past in interviews for a very long time. Holly Twyford: I wonder if she didn’t talk about it because she didn’t want to take attention away from what she was doing. She waited until she was not an everyday figure to talk about it. Jacobson: You know, there’s a line in the show that we grappled with, which was “It’s good to be Dr. Ruth.” My coming at it was that it’s not narcissistic at all: She has created a construct, this person who’s doing good in the world. And it’s a good thing. Twyford: [Naomi,] it’s amazing, what you’ve just said is right on the intention of the play, about her discovery in a way

of welcoming and accepting … Jacobson: … all of who she is. And it’s been good for me to do, because, man, any time I decide to have a tiny little meltdown in my life, I’m like, “Really? You’re playing Dr. Ruth. You’re really going to get upset about THAT?” It’s been a great wake-up call to become aware of what other people are dealing with in this world and how lucky we are to be where we are. Twyford: You know, she says she’s a survivor. She’s not just a survivor. She’s so much more. In the play, she talks about a Hebrew expression, “tikkun olam.” And what it means is “repair the world.” It’s sort of a calling.

Jacobson: It’s kind of a Jewish thing, it’s part of you. Twyford: She got out of Frankfurt, Germany, and her parents did not and her grandmother did not. And she went to Palestine and survived the Arab-Israeli war. Then she didn’t just go about her life; she decided, “How can I help? What can I do to make things better?” It’s very inspirational. Naomi, how do you toe the line between staying true to Ruth’s giant personality and becoming a parody? Jacobson: I’m much too tall to play this part. Well, the line [in the play] is “I’m too tall and too young.” Which I don’t get to say

very often. I’m 5-foot-3 — and old! She’s 4-foot-7. I do feel an obligation to a certain extent — I mean, I’m not gonna imitate her. I’m gonna get the accent right. I feel a little bit of an obligation to give people a little bit of a giggle. And then once I’ve done that, I want to just release that and give an essence. I don’t want to be hindered by “Everything has to be funny.” Twyford: They’ll get some laughs for sure, but it’s a person’s life story, so there’s bound to be incredibly low lows. Yeah, who would describe their life story entirely as a comedy? Jacobson: And who would want to watch that? Would you want to see a caricature of Dr. Ruth for an hour and 15 minutes? No way. I hear Dr. Ruth is coming to see this production. Is there anything you want to say to her? Twyford: I guess I would like to say, “Thank you. I think you’re an incredible inspiration to a lot of people, and thank you for a lot of really good things in the world.” Jacobson: I just want to hug her. I rarely get to hug someone shorter than I am.

Direct Current

In with the new art Don’t think too hard about the theme of the Kennedy Center’s inaugural Direct Current festival, which kicks off Monday and runs

through March 19. “There’s not really a central thematic thing that you can sum up in a word other than the Kennedy Center hasn’t had a festival of new art like this,” says Mason Bates, the institution’s composer-in-residence, who helped spearhead the idea. “This first time, I think mainly it’s about bringing stuff in that people haven’t encountered. Maybe in the next few years there might be more of a focus. We’re gonna see what we learn.” When Bates says “new art,” that can mean modern works (like Taylor Mac’s ambitious stage show “A 24-Decade History of Popular Music”) or older ones presented alongside newer ones in inventive ways (Bates’ classical-meets-electronica rave “Mercury Soul”). Direct Current crosses many disciplines (dance, film, theater, multimedia, classical, jazz, electronica, indie music), many of the shows are free and several are D.C. premieres. Here’s more on just a handful of the performances you can catch during Direct Current.

Direct Current

Mason Bates, right, will fuse classical music with electronica at his two shows.

Q+A

Filling every space with music Mason Bates’ 2 shows will synthesize sounds and transform rooms MUSIC Mason Bates describes his two Direct Current performances as “almost like inverted photographs of each other.” Both shows — “KC Jukebox: California Mystics” and “Mercury Soul” — will fuse classical music with electronica and are in step with the kind of innovative, immersive performances he’s been staging since he became the Kennedy Center’s composerin-residence in 2015. The first one, “California Mystics” on March 11, is the latest in Bates’ ongoing “KC Jukebox” series, in which the composer transforms different Kennedy

Center spaces into immersive, unconventional venues. This time, he’ll turn the Atrium into a pillow-laden, loungy, multimedia space that, he says, “touches on a little bit of the California aesthetic.” This music will explore the work of some of the state’s notable composers, like Lou Harrison and Steve Reich — so no, not all the pieces are new, but they’ll be presented in this untraditional space alongside vastly different works. Bates, who has spent time working in San Francisco, will perform his 2012 piece “Mass Transmission,” which has organ, electronic sounds and a chorus singing “a transcript of the first long-wave radio communications between Indonesia and Holland,” he says. “It struck me as 1920s Skype and it touched on a world

“It’s going to be a completely mind-blowing experience, even for people used to the 9:30 Club.” MASON BATES, the Kennedy Center’s composer-in-residence, on his upcoming show “Mercury Soul”

of tech and communication that California is obviously very involved with today.” Closing the show will be one of the state’s more modern composers, electronic artist Tycho, who will DJ a 15-minute set of new music. Bates’ other performance, “Mercury Soul” on March 15, is

best described as a classical rave. For this show, Bates will turn the 9:30 Club into a dance club, where he and another DJ will spin house, techno and electronica records. “But then, all of a sudden, a classical ensemble grooving along will be revealed on a platform [set up all around the venue] and the whole audience shifts then you get a really thumping 10- or 12-minute classical set,” he says. “It’s a fun night out in a club with these classical pop-ups that sort of bloom in the middle of a set. It’s going to be a completely mindblowing experience, even for people used to the 9:30 Club.” R.G. “KC Jukebox”: Kennedy Center, Atrium, 2700 F St. NW; March 11, 7:30 p.m., $25. “Mercury Soul”: 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; March 15, 7:30 p.m., $25.

She’s prepared for ‘When the World’s on Fire’ Singer-composer Sophia Brous’ “When the World’s on Fire,” a collaborative musical performance with guitarist Marc Ribot, makes its world premiere at Direct Current. Brous uses old film soundtracks, protest songs, hymns and lullabies — plus original music — to explore present-day life. What can people expect from your performance? I wanted it to be a place where people could feel things — explore the spectrum of a state of being, moving through [a] space of agitation, anger, outrage, indignation to a space of a strange, serene calm. The piece is about exploring the space of beauty and disorder — and out of the disorder comes beauty and back again — as a way of navigating our own feelings. Is there something about our current time that makes this work particularly appropriate? I think that songs are like fables, or parables that we learn from. At a time when we’re all in our own different ways contending with the way that myth and reality seem to be overlapping and having to navigate what is true and not true — I think venturing into the world of storytelling as a way of understanding what’s around us could be an interesting avenue to take.

It was he, for instance, who introduced famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma to Lil Buck, master of a streetdance style called Memphis jookin. The meeting sparked an ongoing collaboration, not to

Lil Buck is among the performers that Woetzel is assembling at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday for “DEMO by Damian Woetzel: Now,” a Direct Current program showcasing collaborations between some of the most innovative dancers, musicians, composers and choreographers working today.

I want them to be a part of this,’ ” Woetzel says. Luckily, the quartet was happy to take on the challenge. “Brooklyn Rider are really dedicated to collaborations across all of the arts, which really goes into the theme of this program,” Woetzel says. The group will accompany most of the program’s dances, playing a range of music including a classical work by 18th-century composer Luigi Boccherini and a new piece by Caroline Shaw, a modern, experimental composer who has also collaborated with Kanye West. “Caroline is not only performing an existing work, but she’s going to share with us a work in progress, a commission she is doing for my Vail Dance Festival this summer,” Woetzel says. Though some of the program’s dances have been performed once or twice before, they are all fairly new, and many are still evolving, Woetzel says. “The choreographers are speaking new languages of movement, the music is hot off the presses, and we are going to watch these artists as they take these dances and put them on their bodies, right in front of us,” he says. “Anything can happen!” S.D.

Sally Mann’s Southern tour

When the National Gallery of Art realized that, with a major acquisition of works from the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 2014, it had one of the largest public holdings of photographer Sally Mann, efforts began on mounting her first major international exhibition. “Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings,” which opens Sunday, covers four decades of work from the 66-year-old photographer, who initially stayed close to her childhood home in Lexington, Va., but deepened her understanding of the South by traveling more widely to ponder its fraught history in haunting photographs further enhanced by antique, experimental processes. Here, Sarah Greenough, senior curator and head of the department of photographs at the National Gallery of Art, gives insight into five of the 110 pieces included in the exhibit.

After chronicling her home life in west-central Virginia, Mann embarked on trips to other Southern states. While in Woodville, Miss., she captured this gauzy, early-morning shot of a tree in Mississippi that had survived an attempt by someone to cut it down. “It’s like a wound from the past that remains visible, as if it were like a silent witness to another age,” Greenough says. The photo, she adds, represents one of Mann’s central themes: “The way the landscape can be a vessel for memory.”

Early this century, Mann was drawn to the Civil War battlefields in her home state. “She became fascinated with the idea: Does the earth remember?” Greenough says. “Does it bear witness in some way to the unspeakable number of people who were killed, the blood that was spilled on that landscape?” For this shot, she positioned her camera near the ground, “to give that sense of a last view a dying soldier might see.” The scratches and imperfections created by the wet-plate collodion process (a messy technique popular in the early days of photography) added their own dark metaphor (and the black sun) — “almost as if you’re looking at something shrouded in black mourning cloth.”

Mann began to look at how race shaped Virginia by seeking out old country churches founded immediately after the Civil War, when black people could worship together for the first time without a white minister. “She discovered that many of these 19th-century churches were within a stone’s throw of her home in Lexington,” Greenough says. That includes this one, which got an otherworldly look when the image was printed on expired photo paper.

The Maury River, which winds through Mann’s family farm in the Shenandoah Valley, was central to her family, whom she photographed almost exclusively in her early days. This image shows what a serene playground the river provided for her children, Greenough says. “But it also assumes an important position in her photographs, signifying themes of passage and time and death,” and this one depicts “the river propelling the family downstream, seemingly into the future and away from the camera.”

The quirks of the wet-plate collodion process add another layer: “The crackling and abrasion on Larry’s muscled torso convey the ravages of his disease while the silvery molten quality of the swirls in the picture seemingly allude to the idea of metalworking,” Greenough says.

Here, Gary Oldman predicts how many Oscars “Darkest Hour” will win.

DC Film Society Oscar party

The Oscars ceremony is Sunday, and not watching it is obviously unacceptable. You can watch from home, making fun of it alone on your couch, or you can attend the DC Film Society’s annual Oscar viewing party, where you can watch the show on a big screen and be pissed that “Mudbound” didn’t get more nominations. (Yes, this space will continually rage against the Academy’s ignoring of “Mudbound” until the Oscars are over.) There will be a silent auction and a predictions contest, and proceeds go to Filmfest DC. Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse, 2903 Columbia Pike, Arlington; Sun., 7:30 p.m., $20.

‘First Lady of the Revolution’

Henrietta Boggs moved from Alabama to Costa Rica in 1940 and fell in love with and married Jose “Don Pepe” Figueres, who would go on to serve three terms as Costa Rica’s president. During her husband’s first term, Boggs lobbied for (and won) the extension of the right to vote to women and Costa Ricans of African descent. In honor of Women’s History Month, the Embassy of Costa Rica has arranged a screening of “First Lady of the Revolution,” a 2016 documentary on Boggs’ life. The 99-year-old Boggs (now Boggs-MacGuire) will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A. GALA Hispanic Theatre, 3333 14th St. NW; Tue., 6 p.m., free.

Capital Irish Film Festival

The Irish are coming! No, not for St. Patrick’s Day, because they don’t really care about that. Instead it’s for the Capital Irish Film Festival, four days of celebrating Ireland’s film industry. It kicks off Thursday with “Zoo,” inspired by the true story of a 12-year-old boy who tried to save a baby elephant from the Belfast Zoo during German air raids in WWII. Writer-director Colin McIvor will be present for a Q&A, plus there’s a post-screening reception. The rest of the festival’s lineup includes shorts, documentaries and feature films. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Thu.-Sun., various times, $8-$13 per screening. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Wolf!

Sally’s, 3401 K St. NW; Fri., 9 p.m., $15-$18. MUSIC

Galactic Powerhouse New Orleans funk outfit Galactic has had a standing spring gig (or two) at the 9:30 Club for the past few years. This time, it’s a two-night weekend run, which should have the group pulling from across its diverse catalog. In February, the band added to that repertoire with “Hold On to Let Go,” a soulful, laidback track featuring singer Erica Falls. To add to the funky fun, Friday’s opener is jazzy Richmond band Butcher Brown; Saturday features soulful D.C. big band Aztec Sun’s first performance at the venue. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Fri. & Sat., 8 p.m., $30.

Sat. FILM

‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ in Concert If you’ve grown tired of rewatching your favorite Harry Potter films at home, shake things up with a splash of live music. The movie series’ third installment is even more magical when it’s accompanied by an orchestra, so fans of all ages are welcome

THURSDAY

Kelela 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Thu., 7 p.m. $30.

D.C. native Kelela is particularly good at transposing a variety of emotions into eloquent, futuristic R&B ballads. All throughout her seamless debut album, last year’s “Take Me Apart,” she makes her hazy, multiemotional bombardments sound so lucid, so vivid, so precise. She’s also left a mark on her home: A muralist recently painted Kelela’s face onto a brick wall mere footsteps from D.C.’s historic Howard Theatre.

Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda, Md.; Sat., 3 p.m., $45-$85. DAVID McCLISTER

Veteran New York-based guitarist Scott Metzger plays in lots of bands, but this year he’s focusing on his trio Wolf!, which is working toward a third album. The band’s tightly composed instrumentals run the gamut — with touches of funk, surf rock, gypsy jazz — and get even more out-there live, with Metzger often leading his bandmates on improvisational diversions that are as thrilling as the songs themselves. Power trio Second Self will open. Gypsy

Vintage lovers will geek out over the 700 booths of antiques, glassware, collectibles, clothing, midcentury modern furnishings and more, spread throughout two halls. Dulles Expo Center, 4320 Chantilly Shopping Center, Chantilly, Va.; Sat., 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Sun., 11 a.m.-5 p.m., $10.

THURSDAY

Tyler Childers Rock and Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE; Thu., 8 p.m., sold out.

For a certain type of musician, there’s no bigger co-sign than that of Sturgill Simpson, the philosopher-king of neotraditional country music. And while Simpson’s producer credit on Tyler Childers’ “Purgatory” got the 2017 album more ears, the 26-year-old Kentuckian can keep them on his own. Childers has a wounded drawl and a pen that elevates tropes — moonshine mistakes, the love of a good woman, working with one’s hands — into Pulitzer-worthy poetry. Along the way, he mixes bluegrass, outlaw country and folk-blues. Or, as Childers sings, “same ol’ blues, just a different day.”

What would you do if you found out that your father had written a series of racy adult novels under the pen name Rocky Flintstone? If you’re British filmmaker and writer Jamie Morton, you turn the cringe-inducing prose of the “Belinda Blinked” saga into a hilarious podcast, with the help of BBC radio host Alice Levine and writer James Cooper. After more than 100 million downloads of their shows, Morton and company are performing readings across America. Warner Theatre, 513 13th St. NW; Tue., 8 p.m., sold out.

TELEVISION Wanting its own turn at the 1990s headlines genre, USA has put significant resources into “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.,” an impressive yet meandering 10-episode series (10 p.m. Tuesdays). As the title suggests, its subject matter is the 1996 slaying of rap star Tupac Shakur (Marcc Rose) in Las Vegas, followed by the killing of his frenemy, the Notorious B.I.G. (Wavyy Jonez), in Los Angeles six months later. The series, created by Kyle Long (“Suits”) and produced and directed by Anthony Hemingway (who worked on FX’s “People v. O.J.” series), draws on former LAPD detective Greg Kading’s book about the investigation into the murders. Josh Duhamel stars as Kading, who is asked by his

superiors in 2006 to reopen Biggie’s never-solved slaying. Toggling between 2006 and 1997, the story also focuses on the work of police detective Russell Poole (Jimmi Simpson), who pursued the rumors that LAPD officers carried out both killings on orders from producer/label executive Marion “Suge” Knight (Dominic L. Santana). “Unsolved” does fine by luring viewers along as a decently written and well-acted crime procedural. Still, the series struggles to make room for its other flashbacks that examine the friendship and falling-out between its title characters. Somewhere in “Unsolved’s” sometimes-redundant episodes, it would be nice to dwell a bit more on Tupac’s and Biggie’s brief, violent heyday. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)
