A spaceship — or at least a fiberglass and metal version of one — is missing in Roswell, the New Mexico town that still stirs debate about extraterrestrials seven decades after the 1947 crash of a flying object. Police said surveillance video shows three thieves hauling away the mock-up in a pickup truck Saturday. The spaceship, a fixture in Roswell, was being stored behind the UFO Museum after being damaged in a snowstorm. (AP)

Officer Drake Madison said the man had argued with an employee and stormed out of Iroha Sushi of Tokyo in Studio City. The man returned with the snake and threw it into the dining room, Madison said. Police arrested the man on suspicion of making criminal threats. The python was taken by animal control officers. (AP)

Even eaglets show a little sibling rivalry THE DISTRICT There is sibling rivalry between two baby bald eagles that recently hatched at the National Arboretum. But don’t worry — biologists said it is completely normal. Some viewers of the Bald Eagle Nest Cam, which can be seen at eagles.org or dceaglecam .eagles.org, have raised concerns on social media that the two eaglets appear to be trying to duke it out in the nest when it comes to mama eagle feeding them. The eaglets, dubbed “DC2” and “DC3” for now, were born Friday and Sunday, respectively, to their parents, “Mr. President” and “The First Lady.” The parents successfully raised “DC1” last year at the arboretum. Dan Rauch, the District’s wildlife biologist, said Tuesday that, looking at it on camera, it can seem as though when one of the adult eagles gets ready to feed

Biologists say it’s only a phase for the birds at National Arboretum

The rivalry stage between the eaglets in D.C. should calm down in a few weeks, one biologist said.

the slightly older eaglet, it tends to dominate and knock down its younger sibling. “This is not uncommon, and most bald eagle eaglets do survive this rivalry stage,” Rauch said. The odds are good both eaglets will make it. Rauch said research shows nearly 80 percent of the time, both eaglets “survive and fledge.” By week six, Rauch said, the

rivalry stage should calm down. When there are two baby birds, there is a chance of “siblicide,” where an infant is killed by a sibling, experts said. That happens in just under 4 percent of bald eagle nests. Rauch said siblicide can be “exacerbated in times of limited food supplies, but that has not been a problem with this pair so far.” Rauch said other things can impact one of the eaglets not surviving, including weather, parental negligence or loss of one or both parents. Rauch said, “The fact that the chicks were hatched less than 48 hours apart is encouraging. The more time in between, the greater the size difference.” Wildlife experts don’t yet know the sex of the eaglets. That will be determined in about six to eight weeks when they can get blood samples from the eaglets. Tests will be run to determine the health and sex of the birds. They will also get identification bands on their legs. DANA HEDGPETH

The surprise approval would create country’s largest utility company

ENERGY District regulators approved a $6.8 billion merger between Pepco Holdings and Exelon on Wednesday, creating the largest publicly-held utility in the country. The decision marked a surprising turn of events for the deal, which regulators had rejected twice before and which appeared to be on life support in recent weeks as D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and other city leaders lined up in opposition. The merger means that Pepco will now be absorbed by a company with the largest number of nuclear reactors in the country

and widespread operations throughout the mid-Atlantic, Midwest and New England. The proposal had been closely watched by environmentalists, utility and public-service attorneys, and financial analysts across the country. Because of its size, the deal is likely to change the national utility landscape. It was also seen as a test of strength for the business community in Washington, which lobbied hard for the merger and wants to promote the nation’s capital as business-friendly. In voting 2 to 1 to approve the deal, the D.C. Public Service Commission said it “was in the public interest,” noting that it would deposit $72.8 million in a “customer investment fund,” set aside $11.25 million for energy

efficiency and conservation programs targeted toward lowincome residents and carve out $21.55 million for pilot projects such as modernizing the electric distribution grid. “These benefits, among others, would not be available to District ratepayers if the merger is not approved,” the commission said. But under the terms approved by the commission, millions of dollars that Bowser had wanted to cushion residential customers from rate increases until 2019 could instead go to credits for businesses or the federal government. In a standing-room-only hearing, dozens of attorneys and more than a hundred supporters and opponents of the merger went silent as the commission chairman

read the order, and immediately afterwards neither Pepco nor Exelon claimed victory. Bowser and other officials did not say if they will try to squash the merger. In a statement, the mayor said residents should

brace for higher electric bills. “It appears the Public Service Commission favors government and commercial ratepayers over DC residents,” the mayor wrote. “Instead of a three-year rate increase reprieve that we negotiated, it appears that DC residents will be hit with a rate increase as soon as this summer.” PowerDC, an umbrella group of community organizations that opposed the merger, voted to fight on. “By approving the merger, the PSC has exposed our city to decades of higher rates, weakened its own ability to guide our city’s energy future, and helped ensure that DC will fall behind the rest of the US on clean, efficient energy,” the group said.

Head of Metro’s union praises new GM on safety

A Maryland lawmaker is calling on Republican Gov. Larry Hogan to say whether he would support Donald Trump if he wins the GOP presidential nomination. Rep. John Delaney, a Democrat, sent a truck with a large sign on the back to drive around the statehouse Wednesday. The sign promotes an online petition, which says residents deserve to know whether Hogan would support “Trump’s hateful campaign,” which is described as “antithetical to the values of our state.” (AP)

The head of Metro’s principal union is praising the transit agency’s new chief, Paul Wiedefeld, for being the first general manager in memory to take safety seriously. The previous ones never “gave a crap” and only “cared about safety on paper,” Jackie Jeter, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689, said in an interview. Wiedefeld showed he was different, Jeter said, by shutting down the entire rail system for a full day last week for an emergency safety inspection. (TWP)

A message from Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld During my first three months as Metro’s new General Manager and Chief Executive Officer, I’ve talked to riders, employees, elected officials, business leaders and many others about the importance of strengthening the safety culture at Metro. But how do you go about doing that? What does a strong safety culture look like?

Square Station was disturbingly similar to the L’Enfant incident a year ago, putting safety ﬁrst meant acting swiftly and proactively to eliminate the risk of a ﬁre elsewhere on the system.

Last week’s one-day shutdown of the Metrorail system is what “safety ﬁrst” looks like to me. It’s about doing what is right, not what is popular. It’s about operating every day in the safest manner possible, not just checking the box to comply with regulations.

With the support of the Board of Directors, I ordered emergency inspections of the system’s third-rail power cables to be conducted the very next day – even though it meant shutting down service for 24 hours. I took that step to put the safety of Metro riders and employees above all else – above trafﬁc congestion and inconvenience, above lost revenue and business concerns. And I thank our riders and the entire region for their patience and support in putting safety ﬁrst.

When we discovered early last week that an electrical ﬁre in the tunnel outside McPherson

In the coming months, you’ll see Metro continue to take actions that strengthen

system safety and increase the personal security of our riders, improve service reliability and put our financial house in order. These actions are part of my comprehensive plan to tackle Metro’s most persistent problems. I confronted some hard truths about the Metro system when I got here, and I know that no single action will turn Metro around. That’s why my plan undertakes a combination of efforts to grind out critical changes at all levels. I am committed to being transparent about what needs to be fixed and how we are going to fix it. That’s why I released a new Customer Accountability Report to help the public track our progress and provide timelines for deliverables.

local THE DISTRICT A brood of sidewalk drones could be rolling around the nation’s capital within a year, if D.C. Council member Mary M. Cheh has her way. Executives from Starship Technologies, with roots in Estonia and London, say their goal is to unleash a platoon of “smart, friendly robots” that will ply sidewalks along with pedestrians to make local deliveries of groceries or small packages “almost free.” The company is led by Skype co-founders Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, and launched in November.

Cheh and company officials sought to make a splash by promising that one of the squat vehicles Wednesday would deliver the legislation to the council to greenlight self-driving delivery robots. Cheh also authored the city’s autonomous vehicle legislation, which took effect in 2013 and allows driverless cars on city roads as long as a human is present. But other than when they cross the street, the delivery robots are designed to remain off the road. There would be advantages, Cheh said.

I would.” MICHAEL LARIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by each client’s risk tolerance. The quality-of-practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record.” The rankings are based on the universe of applications submitted to Barron’s. The selection process begins with a nomination and application provided to Barron’s. Principals of Edelman Financial Services, LLC self-nominated the ﬁrm and submitted quantitative and qualitative information to Barron’s as requested.

TRANSPORTATION If there ever was anything to like about traffic congestion, it was that D.C. was No. 1 — in a bad year, maybe No. 2 — in the entire country. Nobody did bumper-tobumper better than D.C. Now the best this sprawl of more than 5 million people can do is a mere ranking of eighth, according to a report out Tuesday that collected anonymous data from people’s GPS devices. Just last year, an analysis by a different group had D.C. at No. 1. Globally? D.C. is not even a player on that stage, just the

79th-most-congested city in the world. (Skip this year’s Summer Olympics: Rio de Janeiro has the world’s fourth-worst traffic, behind Mexico City, Bangkok and Istanbul.) Tuesday’s rankings come in a traffic index produced by TomTom, a Dutch company that compiles its congestion data from feedback sent from GPS devices installed in private vehicles. TomTom calculates a baseline for each highway or road that represents how much time it would take to drive a distance without any traffic at all — think

Muslims decry Cruz’s plan

ARGENTINA

In Buenos Aires, Obama hopes to rebuild trust President Barack Obama on Wednesday acknowledged that U.S. relations with Latin America’s dictatorships in the 1970s damaged its image in the region, but said he hoped the release of long-classified documents about Argentina’s “dirty war” would rebuild trust. The two-day visit comes as President Mauricio Macri has gone to great lengths to repair relations after years of antagonism by the previous administrations. Obama has made no secret of preferring Macri over predecessor Cristina Fernandez. (AP)

POLITICS A few miles from Disneyland is a place most California tourists never see. The signs along the thoroughfare suddenly switch to Arabic script advertising hookah shops, Middle Eastern sweets, halal meat and travel services. At a run-down strip mall in Little Arabia, flags from a halfdozen Muslim countries flap in a stiff breeze. Flying above them all is a giant American flag. After Sen. Ted Cruz called for increased surveillance of Muslims in the U.S., this Muslim community and others like it defied the Republican presidential candidate and defended their commitment to the United States. “I was born and raised here. I see myself as an American,” said Omar Ghanim, 23, who grew up in Southern California with parents of Palestinian heritage. Cruz’s comments on Tuesday came hours after the deadly attacks at the Brussels airport and a subway station that killed dozens of people and wounded many more. The Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility. Cruz said Tuesday that law enforcement should be empowered to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” Echoing earlier statements from rival Donald Trump, Cruz also said the U.S. should stop the flow of refugees from countries where

the Islamic State has a significant presence. Muslims across the country condemned Cruz’s statements. Many complained that the Islamic extremist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and the intensifying rhetoric of the presidential campaign, have steadily ratcheted up animosity against American Muslims. In Washington, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates was asked Wednesday about calls to step up patrols of Muslim communities. She said the Muslim community “is one of our greatest partners in our fight against terrorism and public safety generally.” Trump, who has proposed a temporary ban on foreign Muslims entering the U.S., praised Cruz’s

“We love this country. We came from nothing. They gave us everything. It’s crazy. This country is built on immigrants.” SAM CHASHKU, a Syrian immigrant who arrived in 1996 and married an American-born Christian woman

plan in a CNN interview, saying he supports it “100 percent.” Ahmad Tarek Rashid Alam, publisher of the weekly Arab World newspaper and one of the immigrants who helped build

Little Arabia, said Cruz’s remarks seemed aimed at exploiting prejudice to get votes. “The way he talks, it could work maybe 40 years ago. But now, it’s too late. Islam is part of the country. We are already in the country; we’re part of the country whether he likes it or not.” After the 9/11 attacks, the New York Police Department used its intelligence division to cultivate informants in Muslim communities. In a series of articles, The Associated Press revealed authorities had infiltrated dozens of mosques and Muslim student groups and investigated hundreds of them. The program was disbanded amid complaints of religious and racial profiling. GILLIAN FLACCUS AND JEFF KAROUB (AP)

ISIS cells target Europe Officials: Islamic State trained 400 fighters for external attacks, to strike in fatal waves

Information emerges about the attackers TERRORISM GEERT VANDEN WIJNGAERT (AP)

PARIS The Islamic State group has trained at least 400 fighters to target Europe in deadly waves of attacks, deploying interlocking terror cells like the ones that struck Brussels and Paris with orders to choose the time, place and method for maximum carnage, officials said. The network of agile and semiautonomous cells shows the reach of the extremist group in Europe even as it loses ground in Syria and Iraq. The officials, including European and Iraqi intelligence officials and a French lawmaker who follows the jihadi networks, described camps in Syria, Iraq and possibly the former Soviet bloc where attackers are trained to attack the West. Before being killed in a police raid, the ringleader of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks claimed he had entered Europe in a multinational group of 90 fighters, who scattered “more or less everywhere.” But the biggest break yet in the Paris attacks investigation — the arrest on Friday of fugitive Salah Abdeslam— did not thwart the multipronged attack just four days later on the Belgian capital. Just as in Paris, Belgian authorities were searching for at least one fugitive in Tuesday’s attacks — this time for a man wearing a white jacket who was

seen on airport security footage with the two suicide attackers. The fear is that the man will find Abdeslam’s path instructive. After fleeing Paris immediately after the November attacks, Abdeslam forged a new network back in his childhood neighborhood of Molenbeek, long known as a haven for jihadis, and renewed plotting, according to Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders. In the case of Tuesday’s attacks, Abdeslam’s arrest may have been a trigger for a plot that was already far along. “This was not put together as a response to the arrest. However the timing of what has happened … maybe hurried up the planning and execution,” said Magnus Ranstorp, a Swedish security analyst. “I see the link to the environments either in France or in Belgium. ... they’re probably part of the same

batch of extremists that have come out of Syria.” Estimates range from 400 to 600 Islamic State fighters trained specifically for external attacks, according to the officials, including Goulet. Some 5,000 Europeans have gone to Syria. In claiming responsibility for Tuesday’s attacks, ISIS described a “secret cell of soldiers” dispatched to Brussels for the purpose. The shadowy cells were confirmed by Europol — the EU police agency, which said in January that officials believed the group had “developed an external action command trained for special forces-style attacks.” French speakers with links to North Africa, France and Belgium appear to be leading the units and are responsible for developing attack strategies in Europe, said a European security official.

Several security officials have said there is growing evidence to suggest the bulk of the training is taking place in Syria, Libya and elsewhere in North Africa. “To pull off an attack of this sophistication, you need training, planning, materials and a landscape,” said Shiraz Maher, a fellow at London’s International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation. Fighters in the units are trained in battleground strategies, explosives, surveillance techniques and counter surveillance, the security official said. He added: “The strategy has changed. The objective appears to no longer be killing as many people as possible but rather to have as many terror operations as possible, so the enemy is forced to spend more money or more in manpower.” LORI HINNANT AND PAISLEY DODDS (AP)

Utah teen endures second major bombing

A Utah teenager who was injured in the Belgium airport attack survived a similar horror three years ago at the Boston Marathon. Mason Wells, 19, is expected to make a full recovery from injuries suffered Tuesday. On April 15, 2013, a bomb exploded a block from where Wells and his father were watching his mother run the Boston Marathon. “Hopefully he’s run his lifelong odds and we’re done,” Chad Wells said about his son. (AP) Prosecutor: 15 kilos of TATP explosives were found in home of suspects, same as Paris attacks

As police hunted for the surviving Brussels bomber, evidence mounted that the same Islamic State cell carried out the attacks in both Paris and Brussels, and that the militants may have launched this week’s slaughter in haste because they feared authorities were closing in on them. (AP) Bombmaker linked to Paris attacks European security officials said one of the suicide bombers Tuesday was Najim Laachraoui, a Moroccan-born Belgian whom police have hunted as the suspected bombmaker in the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris by the Islamic State that killed 130.

Brothers’ background The other two suicide bombers were Ibrahim El Bakraoui and his younger brother, Khalid, both natives of Belgium known to the police as common criminals, not radicals.

Caught at Turkey border Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ibrahim El Bakraoui was caught in June near Turkey’s border with Syria and deported to the Netherlands, with Ankara warning Dutch and Belgian officials that he was a “foreign terrorist fighter.” But other Turkish officials said he was released from Dutch custody due to lack of evidence.

Court appears divided on birth control access Justices hear issue of reproductive rights vs. religious freedoms SUPREME COURT The Supreme Court seems deeply divided over the arrangement devised by the Obama administration to spare faith-based groups from having to pay for birth control for women covered under their health plans. The court’s conservative justices sounded supportive Wednesday of the groups’ complaint that the administration’s effort violates their religious rights. The four liberal justices seem likely to vote to uphold the accommodation offered to faithbased colleges, charities and

advocacy groups. A 4-4 tie would uphold four appeals court rulings in favor of the administration. But different rules would apply in parts of the country in which another appeals court sided with the challengers. Wednesday was the sixth anniversary of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul; the case in front of the justices was the law’s fourth Supreme Court appearance in five years. The issue this time is the arrangement the administration devised to make sure religiously oriented groups do not have to pay for or arrange the provision of contraceptives to which they object, while ensuring women covered under their health plans still can obtain birth control.

Chief Justice John Roberts voiced sympathy for the groups’ claim that they remain complicit in providing morally objectionable contraceptives under the government’s plan. “Hijacking. It seems to me that’s an accurate description of what the government wants to do,” he said during 90 minutes of crisp arguments. Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the administration’s arrangement takes into account women who are covered by the affected plans and “have a real need for contraception.” With eight justices hearing the case, following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia last month, the challengers could find it hard to attract the five votes they need to prevail.

THREE POINTERS

Key players to watch

Sentimental journey for Terps’ coach MARYLAND The NCAA Tournament’s unforgiving schedule, which pits No. 5 Maryland against No. 1 Kansas in Louisville tonight (9:40, CBS), has given Maryland coach Mark Turgeon and his wife, Ann, little time to reflect on the Terrapins’ opponent in the Sweet 16. But the University of Kansas has special significance for the couple, for that is where they met. Mark, now 51, was a young assistant with the Jayhawks after playing basketball there as an undergraduate. Ann was a team manager. Nearly 30 years later, he is facing the Jayhawks in perhaps the most important game of his coaching career. He has tried to downplay the personal significance when talking to his players this week. He has often told them about his own

experiences as an undersized point guard at Kansas. He has used self-deprecating humor whenever he is asked about how he might help mentor sophomore Melo Trimble as a point guard, and he pays homage when referring to Larry Brown and Roy Williams, the coaches he played and coached under while at Kansas. He also has spoken to his team about his Final Four experience — he was the first player in Kansas history to make the NCAA Tournament all four seasons. He has talked in particular about his third season playing at Kansas, in 1985-86, when he became a fan favorite and was nicknamed “the Surgeon” for his ability to carve up defenses. Current Kansas coach Bill Self was a KU assistant then. “Mark was one of the beloved Jayhawks during his time in Lawrence,” Self told The Topeka Capital Journal on Sunday. Turgeon often cites Brown as the man who informs his coaching philosophies. He gave his

Fifth-seeded Maryland and coach Mark Turgeon play No. 1 overall seed Kansas tonight (9:40, CBS) in Louisville in the Sweet 16.

mentors at Kansas credit for a coaching decision in January this season, when he decided not to call a timeout in the final seconds of a tie game at Wisconsin. He was taught to not interrupt in that

situation, but rather defer to the rhythm of the game. So he just watched in silence as Trimble brought the ball up and hit the game-winning shot right before the buzzer. It was one of the highlights in an up-and-down season, which Turgeon will try to extend tonight without emotional attachment to his alma mater. “He’s never wanted anything to be about him. He’s humble, kind of wants to be behind the scenes,” Ann said. “It’s about his guys, about his team, about his players. “I think he is so truly thankful that they get to experience this.” ROMAN STUBBS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Taking down the top overall seed in the tournament won’t be easy for Maryland. Here are the most influential players in tonight’s Sweet 16 game between Kansas and Maryland.

Like Maryland, Kansas has a pretty balanced attack. Ellis is the Jayhawks’ most reliable scorer, reaching double digits in all but two games this year.

All seven of his 20-point games this season were against teams that made the NCAA Tournament. But he averaged just 10.3 points a game in Kansas’ four losses.

The Terps can’t beat a team like Kansas if Trimble keeps struggling from the outside. He’s made just two of his last 17 shots from 3-point range.

Is Virginia the new favorite?

According to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index (BPI), the likelihood of the No. 1 seed Cavaliers to make the Final Four has jumped to 53 percent and their chance to win it all is up to 21 percent — the best in the tournament. The path of coach Tony Bennett and his club certainly is part of the reason. If they beat No. 4 Iowa State at 7:10 p.m. Friday, they’ll face one of the two double-digit seeds remaining — No. 10 Syracuse or No. 11 Gonzaga — in the Midwest regional final.

A ‘sixth man’ for Nationals Baker envisions Taylor making a huge impact as the fourth outfielder

Locking up East fails to improve frustration level

JUSTIN EDMONDS (GETTY IMAGES)

NATIONALS Dusty Baker has made it clear: Michael A. Taylor will play a lot this season. Jayson Werth, Ben Revere and Bryce Harper are the likely outfield starters, but they will be given regular time off and injuries are inevitable. Baker has said Revere will not play every day, so he has tried Taylor at the leadoff spot, too. Baker, who also loves basketball, often compares Taylor to a sixth man, the first player off the bench. Baker thinks Taylor can be like James Harden or Jamal Crawford, recent Sixth Man of the Year honorees. And based on his spring — .485 (16for-33) with three home runs and nine RBIs entering Wednesday — Taylor is making a case for substantial playing time. “Not just for this year; I’ve got high hopes for his career,” Baker said of Taylor, who will turn 25 on Saturday. “… We’re teaching him every day because he’s going to be a star.” Although he may not admit it, Baker, in his first year as Nationals manager, has taken a particular interest in Taylor,

getting to know him and offering hitting tips. “All I can do is put a little icing on this,” Baker said. “God already gave him the talent.” Taylor played 17 games with the Nationals in 2014 and 138 last season.

Joe Garagiola, on the air for 57 years, dies at 90

New rule: Ball to be placed on the 25 after touchbacks

Former major league catcher and popular baseball voice Joe Garagiola, 90, died Wednesday in the Phoenix area. He had been in ill health. He played for four teams in nine seasons in the majors but was better known for his second career as a glib baseball broadcaster and fixture on the “Today” show. He spent 57 years on the air, including 30 years with NBC. That included doing the “Game of the Week” and World Series. (AP)

NFL owners Wednesday approved one-year trials for two rules. One is to place the ball at the 25-yard line after touchbacks on kickoffs instead of the 20. The league is seeking ways to reduce injuries on kick returns. The other rule is to eject a player who draws two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for certain violations, such as taunting and throwing a punch at or kicking an opponent. (AP)

the struggles. He hit 14 home runs and drove in 63 runs, and he hit .317 with runners in scoring position, and he flew all over the outfield. But there also were growing pains: 158 strikeouts, only 35 walks, a .229 batting average and some early hiccups in the field. What stands out most to Baker is the ability of Taylor, a righthanded hitter, to hit to the opposite field. He hit most of his home runs to left or center last season,

but has hit two line drives over the right-field fence this spring. “You can teach a kid how to pull,” Baker said. “It’s hard to teach a kid how to hit the other way, especially with authority. So that’s why his upside, to me, is so huge.” Hitting coach Rick Schu wants Taylor to keep going the opposite way: “If he puts the ball in play more, he’ll hit for a higher average and do more damage.” JAMES WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

CAPITALS With their 52nd win, the Capitals took another step to rendering the rest of the regular season meaningless. Playoff berth? Check. Metropolitan Division title? Check. Top seed in the East? Check. All that’s left is the Presidents’ Trophy, and that could be secured this week. Did the Caps celebrate Tuesday night after winning 4-2 at Ottawa? “Yeah, lots of champagne,” Nicklas Backstrom joked as he stood on a dry locker room floor. Besides no bubbly, there were not even many smiles. Rarely have winning players seemed so frustrated with their play. For the Capitals, it wasn’t just this game — they stalled after taking a 3-0, first-period lead — but months of games and a realization that they aren’t as dominant as they were earlier this season. “You can tell it’s starting to turn — just everyone’s realizing we have kind of hit that bottom,” goaltender Braden Holtby said. “Bottom” sounds harsh for a team with 109 points and 10 games to play, but since the AllStar break, the Capitals are 17-7-1. Games such as Tuesday’s add to the frustration. And that was on the heels of Sunday’s 6-2 loss at Pittsburgh, which showed the difference between a team battling for postseason position and one such as Washington, which has been waiting and waiting for the finish line to get here.

DC Brau resurrects a long-lost piece of the District’s brewing past BEER For the first time in more than six decades, cans of beer from the Christian Heurich Brewing Company are returning to Washington, thanks to DC Brau, the Heurich House Museum and some dedicated beer historians. A German immigrant, Heurich opened his first brewery in 1873, and it became the largest brewer in D.C. in the early part of the 20th century. The Foggy Bottom facility closed in 1956, 11 years after

Heurich’s death. We may never know what his beer tasted like, because most of the brewery’s archives were destroyed in fires, Heurich House executive director Kim Bender says. That didn’t dissuade home brewers Mike Stein, Joshua Hubner and Pete Jones, who reverseengineered a version of Heurich’s Lager Beer in 2013 after looking at the brewery’s invoices for raw ingredients, researching Heurich’s taste in beer and making educated guesses. Heurich House decided to have a 1,000-gallon batch made at DC Brau in 2013, with a recipe refined by head brewer Jeff Hancock. “It’s a fun

The beer’s official release will come during a 1916-themed party Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Heurich House (1307 New Hampshire Ave. NW; $100-$150). After the party, DC Brau will sell the limited-release lager at the brewery in cans and growlers during its regular hours. “ W hat’s [most] exciti ng about this is that the Christian Heurich Brewing Company is back,” Bender says.

Kyirisan’s beef heart tartare is served with gochujang aioli and fingerling potatoes.

OPENINGS Tim Ma and Joey Hernandez have opened restaurants before. Three, in fact: Maple Ave Restaurant in Vienna in 2009, Water & Wall in Arlington in 2013 and Chase the Submarine in Vienna just a few months ago. (They’ve since stepped away from daily operations at Maple Ave and will be phased out as owners.) Kyirisan, which opened this week in Shaw, is the married couple’s newest a nd most personal. “I wanted one place that was all my own,” Ma says. He and Hernandez are the sole owners of their first restaurant in the District — no investors, no partners, as was the case with their other ventures. “I’m literally raising money to buy

the food.” The menu blends Chinese and French cuisines, the former a nod to his heritage and the latter to his training at the International Culinary Center (formerly the French Culinary Institute). The former electrical engineer enrolled in culinary school at age 30 when he decided he was more interested in owning restaurants. His restaurant-owning parents and uncle couldn’t understand why: “They worked so hard so I wouldn’t be in the restaurant business.” But after seeing his parents left scrambling in the kitchen when their chef left to open a place across the street, Ma decided he should at least know a little about cooking in case he ever ended up in the same situation. On his first day at school, he couldn’t even hold a knife correctly. Oh, how things can change. Ma, now 38, has unabashedly embraced cooking and his family’s history, this time with a

good-luck charm from his uncle’s former restaurant — a set of gorgeous, bird-adorned antique panels imported from China that grace one of Kyirisan’s corridors. Still, Ma isn’t relying solely on his Chinese background. Dishes also feature inspiration from and creations by his staff (almost all of whom were “poached” from Water & Wall) and from Southeast Asia in general, including the Philippines, Burma and Korea. The menu includes dishes such as deep-fried tofu with black pepper sauce, Filipino hanger steak with calamansi sauce, duck breast with scallion pancakes and hoisin orange sauce, and mussels with Asian chorizo. To drink: a concise wine list, classic cocktails and Virginia and D.C. beers. Among the food options are Ma’s famous creme fraiche chicken wings, which have been showcased as a signature item at all of his restaurants. On the more eclectic end: fried duck

livers served with a waffle cut in half and filled with duck-blood caramel, Ma’s riff on chicken and waffles that is reminiscent of Dutch stroopwafels. The design of the restaurant, which seats 62 inside and 12 outside, is relatively streamlined. It features a soothing palette of white and blue, with plenty of wood along with gold accents. “The whole idea was this is our home,” Ma says. “It’s not, like, a hipster restaurant.” In general, the goal was to “make this a restaurant that’s just a restaurant,” he says. “It’s not an experience.” Ma’s “open” kitchen — his biggest so far — is tucked away toward the back. It’s open enough for diners to see it as they walk in but not so open that the rather shy chef feels like he’s on display. “ You shou ld ju st enjoy you rsel f,” he s ays of h i s guests. “Focus on the food, focus on the wine.” BECKY KRYSTAL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Under anything but normal circumstances “I thought, once I dealt with my alcoholism, life should fall into place, but it didn’t. I made a lot of really bad choices when I was sober … as bad as any I made when I was drunk.”

Drama follows writer Augusten Burroughs wherever he goes BOOKS Even after the wild success of his first memoir, “Running With Scissors,” in 2002, Augusten Burroughs is still plagued by catastrophe and drama. He has grappled with alcoholism, was sued by his foster family, flailed through a series of bad relationships and built a house only to see it destroyed by a flood. On the bright side, Burroughs continues to have plenty to write about. In his new book, “Lust and Wonder,” Burroughs chronicles his attempt, and spectacular failure, at having a normal life. He’ll chat about how that’s going — and his books — on Wednesday at Busboys and Poets. How does your new memoir fit with your other books? It’s turned out to be the third book in a trilogy of memoirs. “Running With Scissors” describes my unusual life being raised by a crazy psychiatrist and how I get out of that. Then, lo and behold, I become a raging alcoholic in Manhattan working in advertising and then get sober, which is [2003’s] “Dry.” “Lust and Wonder” takes place during my sobriety, when I finally stopped drinking for good. I thought, once I dealt with my alcoholism, life should fall into place, but it didn’t. I made a lot of really bad choices when I was sober, choices that were just as bad as any I made when I was drunk. What were the worst decisions you made while sober? I was in a relationship for 10 years with someone I wasn’t compatible with. That was really difficult

conservative and make it work.”

CHRISTOPHER SCHELLING

1811 14TH St NW

“Running With Scissors” author Augusten Burroughs writes about sobriety in “Lust and Wonder.”

for me to write about, to be frank. It’s embarrassing, that I’d stay in a relationship with someone who was so obviously unhappy with me. That relationship, it should never have gone past a few dates. At the very longest, it should have stopped when we were walking back from the grocery store and I asked, “Are you as happy as I am?” and he said, “No, I’m not as happy as you are, no.” But I kept telling myself, “I can change. I can make him happy. He’ll learn to love me,”

while, at the same time, adding another brick to the life that we built together. Why did you stay in a bad relationship for so long? It seems insane now, but at the time, I thought, “This is what normal people do.” I had such a weird, screwed-up childhood and then I was a raging alcoholic dating a crack addict from group therapy, so once I got sober, I decided, “I’m going to go and find someone who is very normal and sort of

What finally made you realize it wasn’t going to work? I realized that I was in love with someone else: Christopher, my literary agent. He had been there all along, but he was HIV-positive, and I was like, “Nope, not going there. I’ve lost someone to this disease before, and I’m not doing it again.” But how I felt about that changed. The fact is, he has been HIV-positive since the ’80s and has this incredible attitude about it. He’s a survivor, and that’s the one thing I value above all else. That’s something we have in common — we’re both survivors. So is it happily ever for you and Christopher, and will that put a dent in your future writing? My life has never really been “happily ever after.” I’ve always had conflict and disaster follow me around like a shadow, and I can’t really believe that will suddenly stop now that I’m happily living in Connecticut with three dogs. We’re just going to have to see. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

‘Marguerite’

indies Landmark Bethesda Row, 7235 Woodmont Avenue, Bethesda; opens Fri., $9-$11.50. +arties We all have that one friend. The one who takes singing “Happy Birthday” a little too seriously,

who harmonizes with the radio, who actually does karaoke sober. And does none of those things well. That’s the basic premise of “Marguerite,” which opens locally on Friday. Starring Catherine Frot, right, as Marguerite Dumont, the French film is loosely based on the real-life story of an early-20th-century socialite who was a sucky soprano and wannabe opera singer. All of Marguerite’s friends tell her she’s a great singer, so she decides to take her act public. “Marguerite” is both sweetly funny and a serious lesson about why you should go ahead and tell your friend he or she really can’t sing.

Thinking outside the boombox EXHIBITS If you’ve been in the market for a thrift store boombox recently, you may have had a tough time tracking one down. “We’ve drained every Goodwill, Unique [Thrift Store] and Value Village in the area,” says local artist and musician Alex Braden. “I think we drove up the cost of boomboxes. The stores even started selling adapters separately.” Braden, 29, isn’t a hoarder of antique stereos. Along with fellow artists Emily Francisco and Adam Richard Nelson Hughes, he has been taking the boomboxes apart, removing the tape decks and speakers, and rewiring them into a massive sound sculpture. On display at Transformer through the end of April, “No Sharps, No Flats” is a towering creation that features 27 gutted tape decks playing 27 compositions created specifically for this project by 27 D.C.-area musicians. “I’ve always been drawn to … experimental projects like

these,” Braden says. “I really enjoy taking something, reducing it to its components, and then rebuilding it into something else.” Braden, who plays in a few local bands (The El Mansouris, Young Rapids, Bella Russia), recruited local musicians to help with the project. The people behind the compositions — which run between 45 seconds and 10 minutes in length and are each played on a single instrument — include Laughing Man’s Brandon Moses, jazz guitarist Anthony Pirog, classical pianist Mary-Victoria Voutsas, Ex Hex singer-guitarist Mary Timony and Braden himself. “Everyone started in the same key [C major] and the same

tempo,” Braden says, so that it wouldn’t turn into a grating cacophony. (That’s also where the name “No Sharps, No Flats” comes from.) The most unusual song is by Braden’s Young Rapids bandmate Dan Gleason, who used his tape to sing the numbers up to 120 in C major, making hilarious errors along the way. Because the compositions are all different lengths, endless combinations of sounds emerge. “These boomboxes were not intended to be destroyed or used in this way,” Braden says. “None of the compositions were intended to be played as part of an ensemble; the cassette tapes were not designed to endure a month of ceaseless playtime. I’m really curious and excited to hear what the whole mess sounds like at the end of April — if it still works by then.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

Rokia Traore’s sixth album, “Ne So,” is dominated by the West African sounds of the Malian performer’s quiet, breathy voice, backed by sympathetic singers and syncopated, broken-chord figures played on guitar and ngoni (the banjo’s African ancestor). When, in the French-language song “Tu Voles,” Traore describes her happy self as turning and fluttering through the air like a butterfly, she might as well be describing the way she sings her lilting melodies.

Sunny Jain, above center, is no purist. The founder and leader of Brooklyn’s Red Baraat modeled his octet on the brass bands of his family’s ancestral home in Punjab, but he hasn’t been shy about drawing on his experiences as a first-generation Indian-American who studied jazz at Rutgers and injecting modern dance-pop into his music. That’s more obvious than ever on the group’s new five-track digital EP, “Livewire,” recorded live at KEXP in Seattle.

cherry blossoms 2016

ASIDE FROM THEIR COMMON COLOR, beauty and ability to snarl traffic, the different varieties of cherry

blossoms are as unique as snowflakes. Actually, some cherry blossoms aren’t even pink — the Gyoiko, for instance, is green. Unfortunately, that level of eccentricity wasn’t able to take root in D.C. All 18 of the Gyoiko trees planted in the White House garden in 1912 have since died. (Or perhaps they just moved to Baltimore.) Still, there are more than a dozen varieties of flowering cherry trees in the District, each with its own distinct personality. With this handy quiz, created with the help

IF YOU GOT MOSTLY A’S… You’re a Yoshino. Classy and classic, these cherry trees make up the majority of the Tidal Basin’s population. “Yoshinos are elegant and may appear delicate, like their iconic five-petaled flowers,” Choukas-Bradley says. “However, the centenarians at the Tidal Basin that were among the original gift of trees from Japan are stalwart survivors. If you’re an elder Yoshino, you’ve got stamina as well as class.”

Which cherry blossom is most like you?

Beyond the Tidal Basin

IF YOU GOT MOSTLY B’S… You’re a Kwanzan. This late bloomer explodes with bright-pink double blossoms, which splash color all over East Potomac Park and parts of the Tidal Basin. If you feel a kinship with such flashy flora, you love dressing up and don’t give a fig about subtlety. “No one is going to overlook a Kwanzan blossom,” Choukas-Bradley says. “They are the opposite of wallflowers.”

Visiting the Tidal Basin at midday during peak bloom means large crowds, little to no parking and packed Metro cars. It’s best to visit the blossom hot spot early in the morning — we’re talking 7 a.m. early — or late afternoon. But you know what’s even better? Skipping it entirely. If you’ve been to the Tidal Basin during peak bloom before, there’s no need to return year after year, especially since cherry blossoms abound elsewhere. (There’s even an app, D.C. Cherrypicker, for finding blossoms near you.) Try these spots outside the District to find blooms without the crowds. EMILY CODIK (THE WASHINGTON POST) VIRGINIA Green Spring Gardens: In honor of the cherry blossoms, the park, which has more than 30 cherry trees, is hosting two events, including a children’s celebration on April 2 and a Madame Butterfly tea on April 17. 4603 Green Spring Road, Alexandria.

Meadowlark Botanical Gardens: Meadowlark has at least four varieties of cherry blossom trees. Peak bloom is generally a few days after the Tidal Basin peak. $2.50$5; 9750 Meadowlark Gardens Court, Vienna.

MARYLAND Kenwood: With the area’s largest concentration of blossoms in one single neighborhood, Kenwood has approximately 1,200 cherry blossom trees, planted in the 1920s. Between Little Falls Parkway and River Road, Bethesda.

Brookside Gardens: Most of Brookside Gardens’ cherry blossom trees are in Gude Garden, which has a Japanese tea house and pond. 1800 Glenallan Ave., Silver Spring.

Crofton Parkway: Dozens of cherry trees were planted along Crofton Parkway’s 3.5-mile loop, along with the white blossoms of Bradford pear trees. Bounded by Crain Highway, Defense Highway and Davidson Road, Crofton, Md.

IF YOU GOT MOSTLY C’S… You’re a black cherry. A D.C. native, these trees produce small blooms, beautiful wood and a fruit that’s tasty if a bit tart. You won’t find many black cherry trees on the National Mall, though there are plenty around town, especially in tree-lined neighborhoods and Rock Creek Park. If you identify with the black cherry, you’re a sassy local who’s more interested in inner beauty than showing off. “Black cherries are all about homegrown integrity,” Choukas-Bradley says. “They were here long before their cousins from distant lands arrived.”

IF YOU GOT MOSTLY D’S… You’re a fall-blooming cherry. A twist on a classic, this unfussy tree flourishes in a variety of climates and soil conditions. In addition to blooming in both spring and fall (if conditions are right), fall-blooming cherry trees turn red and gold in autumn. “People who identify with this versatile ornamental tree enjoy surprising people with the unexpected, doing a disappearing act and then showing up again,” ChoukasBradley says. Look for the trees at Dumbarton Oaks and on the outskirts of the Tidal Basin.

Southwest Waterfront Fireworks Festival

In 2016, the National Park Service (NPS) celebrates its 100th anniversary with the theme, “Find Your Park.” National parks showcase our country’s natural and cultural treasures, offering scenic and historic venues where visitors of all ages can be active, learn, relax and rejuvenate. Here in the Nation’s Capital, the blooming of the cherry blossoms provides the perfect setting for just that! Since its founding in 1916, the NPS has grown to 410 parks, hosting more than 300 million visitors a year. With the support of volunteers and park partners, the NPS serves as steward of these amazing resources, preserving and celebrating our nation’s heritage, and creating opportunities for education, exploration and outdoor recreation. The NPS and the National Cherry Blossom Festival enjoy a long-standing partnership, and this year’s Festival theme, “Connecting People to Parks,” was inspired by the NPS Centennial and its mission. The NPS serves as the custodian of the 3,800 cherry trees in the Tidal Basin, East Potomac Park and National Mall area. Additionally, it monitors cherry blossom bud development, providing timely forecasts for the annual blooming period and peak bloom dates. “There is no better national park to be in than the National Mall when the cherry trees are blooming,” said Mike Litterst, public affairs officer for the NPS. Come see for yourself! Experience the splendor of the cherry blossoms and enjoy the best part of spring in Washington, D.C.

More than 80 cultural groups, arts vendors and food booths are expected. Capitol Riverfront, M Street and New Jersey Avenue SE; April 16, 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m., $8-$10 (12 and younger free).

One way to bike to the cherry blossoms is by signing up for a Capital Bikeshare membership.

Have a cheery blossoms trip METRO The trains, although crowded, will almost always be a better option than driving to festival events. Weekend ridership can approach weekday levels. Metro suspends its weekend track work program during the festival because of the extra-high ridership. Also missing from the schedule will be the midday track work. However, latenight riders should still expect to encounter single-tracking delays in weeknight work zones. If you have guests coming in for the festival, explain to them that Metro will no longer accept paper fare cards. In fact, you might buy some of the plastic SmarTrip cards to save them a step. Otherwise, they can buy their own at the big blue Fare Vending machines in the stations. Urge them to avoid riding the trains between 8 and 9 a.m. and between 4 and 6 p.m. Travel at the height of rush hour will be an unpleasant experience for them as well as for the regulars.

D.C. CIRCULATOR New to this year’s festival is the National Mall route of the D.C. Circulator bus, and it should be a hit with visitors. This is not a tour bus

can spend a lot of time searching for those scarce spaces.

WALKING

MICHEL DUCILLE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The family-friendly event begins with a taiko drumming performance on the F Street sidewalk. Other activities include dance and music performances, cherry blossomthemed crafts and face painting.

Smithsonian American Art Museum Cherry Blossom Celebration

Don’t drive to the cherry blossoms — or you might sit in traffic like this.

— there’s no guide on board — but it’s convenient as a way to get to many of the sites associated with the festival or for any visit to the nation’s capital. The red, yellow and silver buses pass by Union Station, the Smithsonian museums, the Mall monuments and the Tidal Basin. Bus stops feature similarly colored signs. The fare is $1, compared with the regular fare of $1.75 aboard Metrobus. Although the Circulator fareboxes take exact change, it’s better to use a SmarTrip card, to get free transfers between buses within two hours after first boarding. Maps and more details

are available on the Circulator website at dccirculator.com.

PARKING Parking near the Tidal Basin during blossom time is extremely scarce. The traffic is heavy, and travel patterns may be altered. Limited parking for people with disabilities is available near the memorials. Parking is available in three lots along Ohio Drive SW, but there are nowhere near enough spaces to accommodate demand. Street parking is available along Ohio Drive SW between the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, but visitors

Smithsonian is the Metro station closest to the Tidal Basin, but it’s jammed at blossom time. If you’re up for a little more walking, get off at L’Enfant Plaza, Federal Triangle or Foggy Bottom. For a great walk in good weather, get off the Blue Line at the Arlington Cemetery station and cross the Potomac River on Memorial Bridge, then pass the Lincoln Memorial to get to the Tidal Basin.

BIKING Capital Bikeshare has many stations along the Mall. You can sign up to be a member for 24 hours, three days, a month or a year, and then take a bike from any station. (See more details at capitalbikeshare. com.) Riding around the Mall and East Potomac Park is delightful, but bike parking is limited. There is some extra bike parking near the Jefferson Memorial during the festival. On the festival weekends of April 2-3, 9-10 and 16-17, Capital Bikeshare will set up several bike corrals in the Tidal Basin area. ROBERT THOMSON

The vanilla bean cream cheese glaze will be adorned with a cherry blossom design, which features cherry puree mixed with buttercream to make the flowers. All three locations of Pizzeria Paradiso (124 King St., Alexandria; 3282 M St. NW; 2003 P

St. NW) will offer a specialty pizza through April 4, featuring cherry cream sauce, roasted mushrooms, dried cherries, cheese, parsley, onions and prosciutto (9-inch for $14, 12-inch for $21). There will be a cherry tiramisu, too.

T h r o u g h M a y, Maki Shop (1522 14th St. NW) will sell a Spring Blossom version of its sushi hand roll ($5.40), with tofu, pickled watermelon radish, cherry-infused vinegar seasoned rice, mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley) and a pink soy sheet. Milk Bar made a cherry rose cookie.

What to drink

The Columbia Room’s (124 Blagden Alley NW) spring cocktail menus, available through May, are inspired by the flavors of Japan. The five-course menu’s highlight is I Never Promised You a Zen Garden, a red-shiso-infused sake cocktail with Kokuto Umeshu, a rum-like spirit made with sugar cane and plums, vermouth and the French aperitif Suze. It arrives in a “Zen Garden” of plum sugar, accompanied by a wooden rake, so customers can trace patterns in the sugar as they sip. (The sand is completely edible, too.) Reservations are required:

$75 for three cocktails paired with food, $100 for five courses. District Chophouse (509 7th St. NW) brewer Barrett Lauer has brewed his annual batch of Cherry Blossom Fest, a strong wheat lager that uses more than one pound of cherry puree per gallon of beer. The cherry purees are a mix of tart and dark and sweet, making for a beer that’s sharp and interesting on the palate. Lauer is hopeful that the dark red lager, which costs $6.50 per glass, will be on draft through the end of the Cherry Blossom Festival. Chaplin’s (1501 9th St. N W) cherry blossom specials mix Kirin beer and spirits. The $5 Cherry Blossom Bomb, available any time through April 17, pairs a pint of Kirin Ichiban beer with a shot of the vibrant pink Sakura Emaki Rose Sake. There are also two beer-centric cocktails: Bread Soda combines Kirin with bourbon, lemon and a maple-ginger syrup, and is served with a Kirin ginger cake topped with cardamom caramel. Honzo’s Steel involves gin and Japanese plum cordial with a honey/orange blossom/Kirin sauce. FRITZ HAHN AND BECKY KRYSTAL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Rhimes’ latest series, on a glam investigator, is flimsy but agreeable

KELSEY MCNEAL(ABC VIA AP)

TV REVIEW ABC’s formulaic but fashionable “The Catch” bears the coveted seal and corresponding Thursday time slot of Shonda Rhimes (“Scandal,” “How to Get Away With Murder,” etc.). Massaged by a long list of producers that includes Rhimes herself, “The Catch” is very much at home in the four-star suites of ShondaLand. It’s crammed with current pop songs, sexy rolls in highthread-count sheets, a frantic pace that’s stitched together by glitzy transitional segues of the L.A. skyline, and the simplest, soapiest premise imaginable. Mireille Enos stars as Alice Vaughan, a tough (but glam) investigator at a security firm who’s willing to do anything to protect big clients and techie billionaires from hackers and thieves. One thief in particular keeps eluding Alice and her colleagues, obtaining encrypted codes and otherwise finding his way to the honey pots. They’ve dubbed him Mr. X and tracked clues to his whereabouts on many a n office wh iteboa rd a nd glass wall. He’s so skilled that he’s managed to avoid being

• A Clinical Research Study is being conducted for those who have a clinical diagnosis of moderate plaque psoriasis. • Participants must be aged 18 years or older and be in good health. • Qualified participants may be compensated for time and travel. For more about the study; Please contact: Florence Titanwa Callender Center for Clinical Research 12200 Annapolis Road, Suite 315 Glenn Dale, MD 20769 Phone: 301-352-1520 Email: ftitanwa@callenderskin.com

Mireille Enos, depressed in “The Killing,” enjoys herself as Alice Vaughan.

clearly photographed. Alice, meanwhile, is preparing to marry her newfound love, a wealthy businessman named Benjamin (Peter Krause of “Parenthood” and “Six Feet Under”) — and you don’t need me or a hundred network promos to tell you that Benjamin is in fact Mr. X in disguise. Alice discovers that only after he’s bilked yet another client and vanished with $1.4 million of Alice’s life savings. The wedding’s off. Thus we are launched on the central Coyote-and-Road-Runner narrative of “The Catch”: Alice seeks revenge the only way she knows how — by outsmarting and catching a thief. Enos, who was previously seen as a depressed homicide

detective in rainy Seattle (“The Killing”) and as troubled twin sister-wives in unforgiving Utah (“Big Love”), seems to enjoy the swaggy style here. The ditzy dialogue and marshmallow plot are not at all up to Enos’ talents, but if she’s having fun, then there’s not much case left to prosecute. In fact, that’s the default response to any new ShondaLand show — it’s never the finest television around, but it’s also far from the worst and not worth picking a fight over. Even at its most predictable, “The Catch” might also contain a surprise that knocks an old TV trope or two in the gut with a jiujitsu kick. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Tribe produced five albums from 1990 to 1998. Taylor grew up in Queens, New York, with fellow Tribe member Q-Tip. In high school, the two met Ali Shaheed Muhammad and formed Tribe. Jarobi White later joined the group. The collective recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut album, “People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm.” They were pioneers of rap, blending genres like jazz into hip-hop and offering rap fans a different, playful sound and style than the gangsta rap that

dominated airwaves at the time. The group had some tense moments — seen in the 2011 documentary “Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest” — but thoughts of regrouping were being considered. “These are my brothers. I know nothing but them. I only wanna work with them,” Taylor said in a November interview, adding that he wanted to go on tour with them. Tribe proved influential to rappers, from Pharrell to Busta Rhymes. The music world and other celebrities mourned Taylor on Wednesday, including actor

Chris Rock, DJ/producer Mark Ronson, musicians Questlove and Sean Lennon, R&B singer Jill Scott and rappers Talib Kweli and Kendrick Lamar. As a rapper who took time to craft his skills and come up with intellectual lyrics, Taylor was critical of contemporary hip-hop. “In order for [us] to see the future, everybody can’t sound like Future,” he said, referring to the popular rapper/singer/producer. He added that “there’s a few who still honor their craft, ... but there’s not enough.” MESFIN FEKADU (AP)

‘Real Housewives’ star’s husband reports to prison

Radiohead, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, LCD Soundsystem and J. Cole will headline the Lollapalooza music festival when it returns July 28-31 to Chicago’s Grant Park for its 25th anniversary. The lineup was released early Wednesday on Lollapalooza’s website. Lana Del Rey, Future, Ellie Goulding, Major Lazer and Disclosure are also among the 170 bands and artists scheduled to play on eight stages as Lollapalooza marks its 25th anniversary with the first four-day festival in its history. The lineup includes Jane’s Addiction, the band led by Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell and the festival’s first headliner in 1991. (AP)

MUSIC Phife Dawg, a masterful lyricist whose witty wordplay was a linchpin of the groundbreaking hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, died Tuesday from complications resulting from diabetes, his family said in a statement on Wednesday. He was 45. Born Malik Isaac Taylor, he was known as “Five Foot Assassin” because he was 5 feet 3 inches tall. Taylor, who earned respect for his skillful rhymes, was part of a number of rap classics with Tribe, including “Scenario,” ‘’Bonita Applebum,” and “Can I Kick It?”

Assault charges against Dascha Polanco dismissed Assault charges will be dismissed against an “Orange Is the New Black” star if she stays out of trouble for six months. The 33-year-old Dascha Polanco was accused of assaulting a 17-year-old girl inside Polanco’s upper Manhattan apartment last summer. The Manhattan district attorney’s office says prosecutors consulted the teenager, Michelle Cardona, who is now 18, before offering Polanco the deal. (AP)

Joe Giudice, the husband of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice, reported to prison Wednesday to begin a 41-month sentence on fraud charges. The couple pleaded guilty in 2014 to bankruptcy fraud, and Joe Giudice pleaded guilty to not paying about $200,000 in taxes. The judge staggered their sentences so that one of them would be able to take care of their four young daughters. Teresa Giudice completed a 15-month sentence in December. Joe Giudice has been living in the country illegally since he was an infant, and under federal immigration laws will be deported to Italy after completing his sentence. (AP)

2016 GUIDE TO

Summer Camps and Schools February | March | april Are you a Washington-area parent looking for summer opportunities for your school-age children? Look to The Washington Post’s Guide to Summer Camps and Schools. Curated by our award-winning education team, these issues are a great way to keep your kids happy—and engaged—when school’s out.

“ ‘Swipe to Vote’ works a lot like regular Tinder, except instead of helping you hook up with a romantic liaison, you end up with, say, Donald Trump.” BRENDAN KLINKENBERG, at buzzfeed.com, writes about the dating app’s new feature that will match you up with the presidential candidate who best reflects your political positions. The app runs through 10 different issues — including Obamacare, same-sex marriage and military spending — and you use the app’s familiar swipe-right-for-yes, swipe-left-for-no mechanic to answer. Then, the app tells you who it thinks you most align with.

“If you’ve never tried virtual reality porn, let me tell you: It is a weird, wild ride.” ADAM CLARK ESTES,

at gizmodo.com, reacts to Pornhub’s new virtual reality channel. The world’s biggest adult website is partnering with virtual reality porn store BaDoink to offer the free 360-degree content. The site works in both iOS and Android setups. Although Estes writes: “The video I saw was not exactly virtual reality as the footage wasn’t entirely 3-D.”

“Even if I can’t ever prove Night Shift improves my sleeping habits, to me, it’s reassuring just to know the feature is there.” DAVE SMITH, at techinsider.com, reviews the new feature on Apple’s

Thursday, February 4 Thursday, March 3 Thursday, April 7

latest iOS update: Night Shift, which automatically “warms” your display’s colors to be easier on the eyes. The idea behind it is that a device’s bright, blue lights can hurt sleeping patterns — making it harder for users to both fall and stay asleep. Users can schedule when the display’s colors change and how “warm” or “cool” it gets.

“This goldfish is a medical miracle, so don’t call him Braceface, okay?”

XPN1849 2x10.5

CHLOE BRYAN, at mashable.com, shares the story of Mr. Hot Wing, a goldfish born without a lower jaw. The defect makes it difficult for him to breathe and eat. Veterinarian Brian Palmeiro built the fish a special set of “braces” to hold his mouth open. The contraption is made from a small slice of a credit card. The operation cost the fish’s owner $150.

“Nike’s pitch to Curry evoked something hastily thrown together by a hungover college student.” ETHAN SHERWOOD STRAUSS, at ESPN.com, details how the sports apparel giant missed out on Steph Curry, arguably the NBA’s biggest star, as a spokesman. During a pitch to Curry in 2013, a Nike official mispronounced Curry’s first name and told him he wouldn’t be a toptier face of the company. A slighted Curry signed with Under Armour, which has seen sales of its basketball shoes skyrocket.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may not understand all that is happening, but you feel that you’re in the right place at the right time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You don’t have anyone in your corner, but you can still get out there and put up a fight worthy of admiration and praise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will have to predict more than just one outcome. When you do, you may be surprised at the reaction you get. WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Someone with whom you’ve only recently cultivated a meaningful friendship is likely to throw you a curve — but you can take it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Now is the time to reach out to someone who has attracted your attention in the past.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone else’s pull on you may be much stronger than usual. You must be willing to go where you are led, at least for a while.

TODAY: Skies are partly to mostly sunny, and warm breezes continue from the south-southwest around 10 to 15 mph. That should get highs into the mid-70s springtime sweet spot. It’s possible we stay dry through at least part of the evening. But by late evening and overnight, we have a decent chance of some showers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may need to step in to ease a conflict that, if left to spiral out of control, will certainly begin to affect you personally. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You don’t want others to do anything dangerous, but you are not proving to be a healthy example. Certain changes are required.

Chloe doing a great job not making friends

2011 welcomes you, Halle! Pinterest has a brand new user: Halle Berry. People magazine found the actress’s profile, the bio for which reads, “Actress. Mother. Lover of nature, animals, art, fashion, and decor. Expert gift wrapper. Pinning all things that inspire me.” Most of Berry’s boards are dedicated to home decor and fashion, but she also collects images of inspirational quotes, cocktails, gift wrap, animals and stuff for kids.

In a new interview with Complex magazine, Chloe Grace Moretz revealed she received a coveted invite to join Taylor Swift’s squad. The actress is friends with Selena Gomez, BFF to Swift. In the Complex article, Moretz is described as “anti-squad,” saying, “They appropriate exclusivity. They’re cliques!” Despite her thoughts on cliques, she managed to say of pop star Swift: “She’s a very talented person.” The story indicated that Moretz had more to say about the situation, but stayed tight-lipped. Swift’s squad’s other members, many of them featured in her “Bad Blood” video, include Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne. (EXPRESS)

‘But she took out the last piece before the Jenga tower finally fell down’ Adrienne Bailon’s new boyfriend, singer Israel Houghton, took to Facebook on Tuesday insisting that she didn’t break up his marriage. The New York Post said Bailon posted photos of the two this weekend, one month after he announced his divorce. “I had not even yet met Adrienne during the time my marriage was falling apart,” he wrote.

Atria Publishing Group announced Tuesday that Kevin Hart is writing a memoir about his childhood and early failures as a comedian that helped fuel his now-prolific career. The book will be titled “From the Hart” and is scheduled to be released next year by Atria’s imprint 37 Ink. Hart said in a statement that he always tells people that he’s a big deal. “Now I’ll have a book out to prove it.” (AP)
