Will ‘The Wing’ fly in D.C.?

CULTURE Today, doors open to the first Washington outpost of The Wing — a women’s-only co-working space and social club. For a fee, its members can hustle and primp and nosh and network without breathing in the fumes of excessive testosterone. “We’re a coven, not a sorority,” declares The Wing’s Instagram page.

Members will walk into a 10,000-square-foot space of soaring ceilings, skylights and sea-foam-green walls. There’s a cafe that sells eggs all day, and a gallery of women’s art. The air smells of fig-scented candles; the books are organized by color.

D.C. is The Wing’s first expansion outside New York, where it first opened in Manhattan in 2016 and has been a smash hit. During the day, it operates mostly as a co-working space for Wing members who applied and were accepted and pay $2,350 a year. At night it transforms into a social hub — the bar opens, book clubs meet, speakers give talks. There are crafting events,

So will the witches of Washington take to this concept? The Wing won’t say how many women have applied to the D.C. location or how many members it’s launching with.

This is the D.C. of no-reservation restaurants, hipster plant shops and cocktails at the Line Hotel. It is also (still) the D.C. of

Uber jumps onto D.C. bike-sharing craze

Uber announced Monday it had purchased dockless e-bike service Jump.

UBER

TRANSPORTATION The messy battle for the future of urban transportation is playing out in the gridlocked and bikecluttered streets and sidewalks of the District — and the subway tunnels underneath it.

On Wednesday, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi appeared in D.C. with Mayor Muriel Bowser to announce a suite of new initiatives aimed at positioning the ride-hailing app as a one-stop shop for urban mobility. The company is expanding its business to include bike-share, car rental and eventually transit, which customers will be able to access and pay for within its all-purpose app. D.C. is the testing ground for several of Uber’s projects.

In heralding the company’s partnership with the city, Khosrowshahi used the opportunity to subtly criticize Bowser’s proposal to tax ride-hail companies, including Uber, to raise money to help cover the city’s share of the Metro funding package.

“What we want to make sure is that you’re not taxing one form of shared transportation for another form of shared transportation,” Khosrowshahi said.

“We are in this to promote shared transportation in general.”

JUMP

Move is another step in its bid to dominate urban mobility market

Jump bikes will be available through the Uber app in Washington.

On Monday, Uber announced its purchase of Jump, a dockless e-bike service that operates in D.C. and San Francisco. Jump is one of five dockless bike-share operators in the city.

With Jump’s integration into the Uber app, users can reserve, unlock and pay for the bikes the same way they’d hail a ride. Uber said it also intends to double the number of bikes in the city to 400 — the maximum allowed under the District’s dockless

$15M

bike-share pilot.

The company also announced Wednesday it will partner with car-sharing app Getaround to offer car rentals for riders and drivers. That service will be offered beginning later this month — but only in San Francisco for now, Uber said.

“It is somewhat compelling to be able to get all your transportation through one platform,” said Jahan Khanna, Uber’s head of product for mobility. “Uber is going to invest more specifically in modes that are not just ride-hailing.”

It’s part of the company’s larger vision.

“Imagine there’s a car-sharing network that has cars every half a mile,” Khanna said. “Now you can take a bike to rent your car and go buy groceries.” FAIZ SIDDIQUI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

An official says Rockville is the first in Maryland to conduct its city elections through the Postal Service. Rockville City Council voted Monday to move its city elections to a vote-by-mail format, meaning its registered voters will receive their official ballots by mail and can return them by mail, starting with the November 2019 election. Officials said the city opted for the change in hopes of increased voter turnout. Rockville plans to check signatures on ballot envelopes received by mail against those on voter registration forms to ensure against voter fraud. Voters will retain the option to come to City Hall on Election Day to cast a ballot. (AP)

An Iraq war veteran who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder has been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing his girlfriend more than 50 times. Forty-year-old Ryan Gregory Hollebon said in court Tuesday that he stabbed his girlfriend twice last spring before blacking out. He pleaded guilty in January to killing 28-year-old Jhalandia Butler. She was also a veteran. Hollebon says the two were addicted to opioids, and prosecutors say Hollebon had a history of domestic violence. Judge Allison Asti recommended Hollebon be treated at a maximum-security mental health hospital. (AP)

A man was charged Monday with impersonating a police officer after handcuffing an actual officer during a disturbance at a grocery store in Foggy Bottom, D.C. police said. The incident occurred at about 5 p.m. at a Whole Foods store, where a witness saw a man brandishing handcuffs and harassing customers, according to a police report. When officers arrived, the man became aggressive, according to police, and placed a handcuff on one of the officers. Evan Graham, 47, of Capitol Heights, Md., was taken into custody on charges of simple assault, resisting arrest and false impersonation of a police officer. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TRANSPORTATION Plain black escalator handrails are so 2017.

Metro has installed new, colorcoded rubber handrails on the escalators at the Fort Totten station, an unexpected visual cue that is among several new features at some stations.

The red, yellow and green high-gloss handrails were installed over the weekend.

They’re intended to help riders quickly identify which escalator they need to use to reach the upper platform for Red Line trains, or the lower platform for Yellow and Green line trains.

Metro said the idea was proposed by staff within Metro’s escalator and elevator department.

Officials are gauging reactions at Fort Totten, and will decide from there whether to expand the color-coded handrails to other stations.

“The project is essentially costneutral, because escalator handrails are replaced about every two years, and the cost to select a color is negligible,” Metro spokesman Richard L. Jordan said.

Jordan said there is no timeline for the agency to decide

whether this will be a one-time thing or the prototype for a largescale change throughout Metro’s 91 stations.

The new escalator handrails are not the only new visual feature that riders may have noticed recently. Documents prepared for today’s board meeting outline other changes that are in the works.

Those changes include more fare gates with magnetic closures and audible alarms to deter fare evasion; boardingarea markers for people with disabilities; and closed-circuit television screens for stations with curved platforms.

Algerian plane crash kills 257 Soviet-designed Il-76 with soldiers, families plunges after takeoff

Study: Climate change slowing ocean currents RYAD KRAMDI (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

ALGIERS, ALGERIA An Algerian military plane carrying soldiers, their families and some refugees crashed soon after takeoff Wednesday into a field in northern Algeria, killing 257 people in what appeared to be the North African nation’s worst-ever aviation disaster.

Algeria’s Defense Ministry said those killed included 247 passengers and 10 crew. Algerian-backed group Polisario Front, which seeks independence for Western Sahara from Morocco, said 30 of its refugees, including women and children, were among the dead.

The cause of the crash was unclear and an investigation has been opened.

Algerian authorities did not mention any survivors but one witness reported seeing some people jump out of the aircraft before it crashed at 7:50 a.m.

Wednesday. Algerian TV Dzair said five people were in a critical state, but it’s unclear whether they were inside the plane when it crashed.

The flight had just taken off from the Boufarik military base,

The cause of this plane crash in Algeria is unclear. Witnesses said an engine appeared to be on fire before takeoff.

20 miles southwest of the capital, Algiers, for the southwestern military base in Bechar, according to Farouk Achour, spokesman for Algeria’s civil protection services. The flight also included a layover in the southern city of Tindouf, he said. Tindouf is home to many refugees from neighboring Western Sahara, a disputed territory annexed by Morocco.

The Soviet-designed Il-76 military transport plane crashed in a farm field with no people nearby, Achour said.

The impact of the bill, called “FOSTA” for its title, “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act,” was already being seen as sites shut down sex-related sections. (TWP)

The Il-76 model has been in production since the 1970s and has an overall good safety record. It is widely used for both commercial freight and military transport. The Algerian military operates several of the planes.

Footage from the scene showed thick black smoke coming off the field, ambulances and Red Crescent vehicles arriving at the crash site and body bags lined up in the field.

Several witnesses told Algerian TV network Ennahar they

SCIENCE The Atlantic Ocean circulation that carries warmth into the Northern Hemisphere’s high latitudes is slowing down because of climate change, a team of scientists asserted Wednesday.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) has declined in strength by 15 percent since the mid-20th century, to a “new record low,” according to a peer-reviewed study published in the journal Nature. That’s a decrease of 3 million cubic meters of water per second, the equivalent of nearly 15 Amazon rivers.

The AMOC brings warm water from the equator up toward the Atlantic’s northern reaches and cold water back down through the deep ocean. The circulation is critical for fisheries off the U.S. Atlantic coast, a key part of New England’s economy that has seen changes in recent years, with cod fishery collapsing as lobster populations boomed.

Another study, also published Wednesday in the journal Nature, drew somewhat different conclusions. This study found that the AMOC has slowed over the past 150 years and similarly found that it is now weaker than at any time in more than a millennium.

“The last 100 years has been its lowest point for the last few thousand years,” said Jon Robson, a researcher at the University of Reading and one of that study’s authors. CHRIS MOONEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Hollywood’ tape focus of FBI search Records tied to vulgar audio sought during raid of Trump’s lawyer POLITICS A search warrant used this week to raid the office and residences of President Trump’s attorney sought all his communications about a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape that captured Trump boasting about grabbing women’s body parts, according to a person familiar with the investigation.

Federal investigators specifically asked for all communications about the recording — which surfaced a month before the 2016 presidential election — that personal attorney Michael Cohen had with then-candidate Trump, as well as with his campaign aides.

The broad request also sought Cohen’s communications with Trump and campaign surrogates about “potential sources of negative publicity” in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election.

The warrant indicates that investigators appear to be examining what role the longtime Trump attorney played in trying to tamp down unflattering stories as Trump sought to win the White House.

The craft beer industry’s buzz is wearing off BUSINESS Has craft beer peaked? In one sign that the industry has grown less frothy, more craft breweries closed in 2017 than any time in the past decade. While craft beer makers saw more growth in production than the overall market last year, their pace is slowing.

A new report by the Brewers Association — a trade association representing small and independent American craft brewers — showed that craft brewers saw a 5 percent rise in production volume in 2017. They represented nearly 13 percent of the market share by volume of the overall beer industry in 2017, with an estimated $26 billion retail value.

Yet with that growth comes an increasingly crowded playing field, leading to more closures of small craft breweries.

In 2017, there were nearly 1,000 new brewery openings nationwide and 165 closures. The closing rate of 2.6 percent was a 42 percent jump from 2016, when 116 craft breweries closed.

Experts say saturation is still some time away, and that pullback is inevitable for any booming industry as it matures.

“We have seen a little bit of deceleration,” said Bart Watson, chief economist of the Brewers Association. “When you’re talking about an industry that sells tens of billions of dollars a year, it’s hard to grow at doubledigit rates.” RACHEL SIEGEL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Paul Ryan won’t seek re-election

WASHINGTONPOST.COM WONKBLOG

What changed Boehner’s mind on marijuana?

POLITICS House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, RWis., announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election this year, ending a nearly 20-year tenure in Congress and adding further uncertainty about whether embattled Republicans can maintain control of the House.

Ryan said at a news conference that he sees a “very bright future” for his party and said his decision was driven by a desire to spend more time with his family.

“I have accomplished much of what I came here to do, and my kids aren’t getting any younger,” said Ryan, 48. “What I realized is if I serve for one more term my kids will only have known me as a weekend dad.”

Ryan, who plans to serve out his term and retire in January, said the possibility of Democrats taking over the House factored into his decision “none whatsoever.”

He emphasized that he had taken the job of speaker reluctantly.

The decision comes ahead of midterm elections that were already looking treacherous for Republicans, who are at risk of losing control of the House.

The party has seen a large number of retirements, and Ryan’s exit is certain to sap morale as Republicans seek to contain a surge in enthusiasm for Democrats, whose fortunes have been buoyed by the unpopularity of President Trump.

Trump tweeted that Ryan is “a truly good man and while he will not be seeking reelection, he will leave a legacy of achievement that nobody can question.”

Applause could be heard outside Ryan’s office shortly before 9 a.m. as he was meeting with staff. He shared the news with GOP lawmakers in a closed-door meeting afterward.

The Republicans most likely to replace Ryan are House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Calif., and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, La. Both issued statements Wednesday praising Ryan and pledging to work closely with him through the remainder of his tenure.

Ryan was the vice presidential nominee in 2012 on the GOP ticket with Mitt Romney.

After much persuasion, Ryan was elected by his colleagues in 2015 to replace John Boehner as speaker after Boehner’s retirement.

Ryan has long championed overhauling the tax code, a goal accomplished with the passage last year of the sweeping GOP tax bill.

“That’s something I’ve been working on my entire adult life,” he said at his news conference.

He cited tax reform and rebuilding the military as his two biggest achievements and said he wants to accomplish more before stepping down.

Speaker’s retirement adds to uncertainty about the GOP’s control of the House

House Speaker Paul Ryan, citing his desire to spend more time with family, will retire in January.

Reactions MITCH M CCONNELL, R-KY:

The Senate majority leader called Paul Ryan a “transformational conservative leader” whose legacy included last year’s overhaul of the tax code and significant increases in defense spending. “What’s more, Paul has paired that ambitious agenda with infectious good cheer and an unflagging commitment to serve all Americans,” McConnell said, calling Ryan “a happy warrior.”

CHARLES E. SCHUMER, D-N.Y.:

The Senate minority leader called Ryan “a good man who is always true to his word.” “Even though we disagreed on most issues, in the areas where we could work together I always found him to be smart, thoughtful and straightforward,” Schumer said. He urged Ryan, in his remaining time, “to break free from the hard-right factions of his caucus that have kept Congress from getting real things done.” (TWP)

ACLU files federal lawsuit to block new Kentucky abortion law banning second-trimester procedures

“I want to be clear here,” Ryan said, “I’m not done yet. I’m going to run through the tape.”

Ryan has represented Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District since 1999. He was previously chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and before that chairman of the House Budget Committee.

As speaker, he’s proved to be a major fundraiser for his colleagues. A spokesman for Ryan’s political action committee said he remains committed to helping colleagues in this year’s elections and could actually have more time now to devote to that task.

“I really don’t think a person’s race for Congress is going to hinge on whether Paul Ryan is speaker or not,” Ryan said. “So I really don’t think it affects it.

Look, if we do our jobs, which we are, we’re going to be fine as a majority.” ROBERT COSTA, MIKE DEBONIS AND JOHN WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

John Boehner, the former Republican speaker of the House who once said he was “unalterably opposed” to decriminalizing marijuana laws, has joined an advisory board for a cannabis company with an eye on rolling back federal regulations.

The former Ohio congressman has been appointed to the board of advisers of Acreage Holdings, Boehner said in a statement Wednesday. The company grows and sells legal weed and operates in 11 states. Boehner cited the need for veterans to access the drug legally to explain his change of heart.

The move is a stark reversal for Boehner, who in 2011 wrote a constituent that he was “concerned that legalization will result in increased abuse of all varieties of drugs, including alcohol.”

In his statement Wednesday, he said, “I have concluded descheduling the drug is needed so that we can do research and allow [the Department of Veterans Affairs] to offer it as a treatment option in the fight against the opioid epidemic that is ravaging our communities.”

Reclassifying cannabis would not legalize it nationally, but would end federal marijuana enforcement and let states set their own marijuana policies without federal interference.

Zuckerberg faces tougher grilling Facebook CEO is asked about everything from privacy rules to opioids TECHNOLOGY Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday faced a tougher, tenser grilling at his second congressional hearing, as lawmakers unleashed complaints about the company’s privacy practices, its failure to fight the opioid crisis and the lack of diversity within its executive ranks.

“I think there are a number of areas of content we need to do a better job of policing on our service,” Zuckerberg replied.

For five hours, Democrats and Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee took turns swiping at Zuckerberg, holding him to “yes” and “no” questions and frequently cutting him off — a tactic that at times appeared to frustrate the Facebook co-founder.

Facebook’s data practices were the official topic of the hearing, prompted by its entanglement with Cambridge Analytica, a political consultancy that improperly accessed 87 million Facebook users’ names, “likes” and other personal information.

At one point in the hearing, Zuckerberg acknowledged that his own data had been accessed by Cambridge Analytica.

Even as he apologized for the mishap and other recent troubles at Facebook, lawmakers repeatedly expressed doubt that the social media giant could fix its troubles on its own — and threatened to regulate the company and its tech industry peers.

Democratic Rep. G.K. Butterfield, N.C., demanded that Zuckerberg — who was questioned by a Senate panel on Tuesday — improve the company’s hiring practices, pointing out that Facebook has no people of color in its highest executive ranks.

Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, pressed Zuckerberg to address conservatives’ fears that the site censors their content, news and views. And Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., accused Zuckerberg and Facebook of “hurting people” by failing to thwart those who try to sell opioids on the site.

Once the hearing concluded, lawmakers said they hoped to invite other tech executives to testify — a sign that scrutiny could widen to cover companies like Google and Twitter.

nation+world Trump: Missiles ‘will be coming’; White House says no final decision SYRIA The United States and Russia escalated a war of words over Syria on Wednesday, with President Trump warning that U.S. airstrikes “will be coming” despite Russia’s pledge to shoot down American missiles aimed at its ally.

The exchange raised the possibility of open military conflict between the old Cold War adversaries and marked a turnabout for a U.S. president who had ridiculed his predecessor for allegedly telegraphing military strategy.

“Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and

new and ‘smart!’ ” Trump wrote on Twitter, referring to missile strikes that have appeared likely since the weekend deaths of more than 40 Syrian civilians.

It was the first explicit U.S. statement that a military response is in the offing. By addressing his warning to Russia, Trump effectively acknowledged that Syria could become a proxy battleground. Russia is Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s strongest military defender. The U.S. conducts counterterrorism operations in Syria and backs some anti-Assad rebels.

Russian President Vladimir Putin did not directly respond to Trump’s threats when he appeared at the Kremlin several hours later, but he told the assembled diplomats that “the state of things in the world cannot but provoke concern.”

Brown agrees to send National Guard to border California Gov. Jerry Brown, the only border state governor who had not yet committed troops to President Trump’s National Guard deployment, said Wednesday that he will accept funding for 400.

President Trump warned Russia to “get ready” for missile strikes in Syria.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump’s words were not an announcement of any specific action.

“We’re maintaining that we have a number of options, and all of those options are still on the table,” Sanders said.

Trump said Monday that a

response to the suspected chemical attack would come in 24 to 48 hours, a time frame that has now elapsed.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia did not plan to respond in kind to Trump’s tweeted taunt. “We do not participate in Twitter diplomacy,”

Peskov said, according to Russian news reports.

The U.S. has been building a circumstantial case, based largely on videos and photographs, that a chemical attack

by Syrian forces took place in the rebel-held town of Douma.

Such a finding of fault would be the justification for a U.S. or allied military response that Syria and Russia would surely call a violation of international law. The finding would also help British and French leaders justify participating militarily with an American president who is unpopular among their citizens.

Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces, has said the military would hit back if U.S. airstrikes endangered Russian servicemen in Syria. ANNA GEARAN, JOHN WAGNER AND ANTON TROIANOVSKI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS PREVIEW

Upbeat underdogs After two pressure-packed seasons of disappointment as playoff favorites, Caps relish chance to fly under the radar NHL Barry Trotz doesn’t have a social media presence, but the coach is certainly aware of what has been said about his Capitals this season. And, well, it’s a lot different than the past two years.

“I look around right now and everybody’s, ‘We want to play the Caps,’ ” Trotz said near the end of the regular season. “You hear it in all the little Twitter sites and all that. I’m like, ‘OK. Someone’s got to play us.’ They all want to play us; not everybody can.”

After two years of entering the postseason as a Stanley Cup favorite with the NHL’s best regular-season record, the Capitals have embraced a new role as postseason underdogs.

That role, however, is relative.

Washington finished first in the

Metropolitan Division again and has the home ice advantage in the first round against the Blue Jackets, who placed fourth in the division. But after repeated second-round exits — disappointing results for Capitals teams that, on paper, were more talented than this one — the hype train has moved on to upstart Vegas or last season’s Stanley Cup runner-up, Nashville, or powerhouse Tampa Bay. Under the radar for a change, the Capitals are relieved.

“The crown gets pretty heavy when you’re carrying it for the regular season,” Trotz said.

“I think there was some external pressure that creeped in the room,” defenseman Brooks Orpik said. “I think maybe as a veteran group, you probably

Tonight’s first-round playoff games: Devils at Lightning (7, NHLN)

don’t want to admit that it affected us. I think at the time, it definitely did.”

Washington general manager Brian MacLellan had called the past two seasons the team’s allin, go-for-it window, with contracts aligning just right for the Capitals to assemble deep teams capable of contending for the organization’s first championship.

The first year, Washington ran into a second-round buzz saw in the Penguins, who had more speed and skill in the bottom of their lineup. The Capitals adjusted the following summer, but playing Pittsburgh in the second round again last season, Washington again fell to the eventual Stanley Cup champion.

Contracts were up, and a tough summer awaited.

M a c L e l l a n ’s o f fs e a s o n moves were largely criticized.

Game 6: In Col., if nec., April 23

Washington’s top-ranked defense was shredded when Nate Schmidt was swiped in the Vegas expansion draft and Karl Alzner and Kevin Shattenkirk walked in free agency.

Big contracts for Evgeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie created a salary cap crisis, so top-six winger Marcus Johansson was traded to New Jersey, just days after fellow top-six winger Justin Williams signed with Carolina.

Those departed players were replaced by younger or cheaper ones, and four rookies were regularly in the lineup.

“I think this year has been a lot more enjoyable for the group, just having less expectation on us and less pressure,” Orpik said. “Flying under the radar... is maybe something that’s welcome.”

Washington arguably overachieved to win the division for a third straight year, but the team was never concerned with winning a third straight Presidents’ Trophy, which the Predators captured with 53 wins.

Should the Caps advance to the second round, they could again meet Pittsburgh, which has to get through Philadelphia. This time, Washington might feel like it has nothing to lose.

“If you look at our playoff records and how we’ve been,” Nicklas Backstrom said, “it can’t get any worse.” ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN

Capitals expect physical series NHL PLAYOFFS The Capitals and Blue Jackets are meeting in the postseason for the first time, but the division rivals are hardly strangers.

“We’ve definitely had some battles,” said Tom Wilson, who has racked up 62 penalty minutes in 21 games against Columbus, more time than he has against every other team but Philadelphia.

There have been plenty of opportunities for confrontations.

Columbus has played Washington 18 times in the regular season over the last four seasons, Washington’s most frequent opponent over that stretch. The Capitals went 12-3-3 in those meetings.

“Games get nasty,” T.J. Oshie said. “Emotions stick around.

And they’re a hard team to play against. They play hard. That demands a hard game from us.”

The Blue Jackets boast players

with high-end skill in winger Artemi Panarin — who led the team in goals (27) and assists (55) in 81 games — and All-Star defensemen Seth Jones and Zach Werenski. But there is also a gritty, blue-collar element to their game that may wear on the Capitals.

“It’s a division rival so it will get heated pretty fast,” Capitals blue-liner Matt Niskanen said.

“That’s just the way the first round is. It’s a bloodbath.”

Part of what makes the Blue Jackets such a challenge is their doggedness once they gain the offensive zone. They ranked fifth in the NHL with 33.7 shots-on-goal per game, and firing the initial shot is just the start.

“They’re a shoot-and-crash team,” said Niskanen. “They go to the net hard. A lot of net jam plays, hard wraparounds, traffic in front. I’d characterize them as really hungry around the net.”

The blue paint in front of the net has historically been a frequent meeting point for

animosity and fisticuffs between these teams. The tradition isn’t likely to end in the playoffs.

“They like to put two of three guys at the net,” winger Devante Smith-Pelly said, “throw [the puck] there and converge there.”

That could pose a challenge for Philipp Grubauer, who was named the starting goalie over Braden Holtby on Tuesday. It could also mean a long series for Washington’s defensemen.

In the days leading up to Game 1

Evgeny Kuznetsov

John Carlson

Pierre-Luc Dubois

Seth Jones

A case can be made that — when healthy — the Capitals have one of the strongest quartets of centers in the postseason, and Kuznetsov is as important as any of them. He reached career highs this season with 27 goals and 83 points, playing some of his best hockey in the past month. Kuznetsov capped off the regular season with seven goals and 19 points in his last 11 games.

Coming off the best regular season of his career, the defenseman could be down to his final postseason run in Washington. A free-agent-to-be, Carlson had a personal-best 15 goals and led all NHL blue-liners with 68 points this season. He averaged a career-high 24:47 of ice time but showed few signs of fatigue, recording 15 points in the final 15 games as the Capitals went 12-3-0.

Few teams head into the postseason with a 19-year-old rookie as the No. 1 center, but the Blue Jackets are an exception.

Dubois, the third overall pick in the 2016 draft, had 20 goals and 48 points in 82 games and was frequently used in a shutdown role as well. At 6 feet 3 and 207 pounds, Dubois is large and has a knack for getting under opponents’ skin.

The Capitals will see plenty of Jones, 23, and Zach Werenski, 20. The two don’t just make up the Blue Jackets’ top defensive pairing; they’re one of the NHL’s best tandems. Jones, the son of former Wizards forward Popeye Jones, is 6-4 and can be tough to handle when carrying the puck and joining the rush as a fourth attacker. He scored six of his 16 goals this season in his past 11 games.

Nick Foligno, left, and Columbus can expect a feisty first round with Alex Chiasson and Co.

ROB CARR (GETTY IMAGES)

Blue Jackets’ pressure could create problems for Grubauer, defenders

tonight, the Capitals were reminded in video sessions of Columbus’ aggressive checking in the offensive zone.

“Sometimes it feels like they’re coming with five guys,” Niskanen said. “They’ll have two guys pressuring and both [defensemen] coming down each wall. There’s not much space out there.”

Breakouts and puck management will be critical for the Capitals from inside their own zone.

At the other end of the ice, the Capitals’ top line of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Wilson could be a handful, particularly with Wilson emerging as a top-six forward with 14 goals and 35 points, both career-highs.

The combination of Wilson’s size (6 feet 4, 220 pounds), speed and ability to create space for teammates makes him uniquely equipped for the rigors of playoff hockey and a potentially tough series against the Blue Jackets.

“He’s evolved,” coach Barry Trotz said of Wilson, noting that few players move from the fourth line to the first in just a few years. “You saw the growth in his offensive game and his confidence that he can handle pucks and make plays.

He’s one of those all-in guys that can drive your group.”

Four players with potential to take over While Washington captain Alex Ovechkin and Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky — both owners of brimming trophy cases — are sure to collect their share of headlines in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, they can’t win the series by themselves. Here are two players from each team capable of swinging games.

Nats ‘very, very cautious’ in sending Eaton to DL Left fielder will nurse ankle bruise for 10 days while Sierra auditions

Adam Eaton has two home runs and is hitting .345 this season.

TONI L. SANDYS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MLB Electing to take a careful approach with their left fielder, the Nationals officially placed Adam Eaton on the 10-day disabled list with a bone bruise in his left ankle Wednesday morning. Outfielder Moises Sierra was called up from Class AAA Syracuse to replace Eaton on the active roster.

To make room for Sierra on the 40-man roster, the club designated Miguel Montero for assignment. The backup catcher had become expendable because of Pedro Severino’s hot start.

Eaton’s injured ankle is the same one he hurt when he also tore his ACL last April. The ankle swelling was so severe, he had to wait for it to go down before having season-ending knee surgery.

It’s also the same ankle he injured during the Nationals’ home opener last Thursday. He exited that game a couple of innings after an awkward slide at home. He wasn’t in the starting lineup again until Sunday night, and then didn’t play Monday. He was a late scratch Tuesday.

“We’re going to be very, very cautious,” manager Dave Martinez said. “One, it’s the ankle that he hurt last year. Two, so we don’t have any setbacks on the knee. ... We thought rather

let him miss 10 days than let it become three, four weeks.”

Eaton insisted Tuesday that his knee “feels really good.” He said the mobility is the best it’s been since last year’s injury. Martinez

echoed those thoughts Wednesday but said the fear is that Eaton would put stress on the knee to compensate for ankle pain.

“We just want to nip all these things in the bud,” Martinez said.

Sierra, 29, joined the organization as a nonroster invitee.

He stood out in spring training, batting .321 with an .874 OPS and two home runs in 30 games.

He was 4-for-12 with Syracuse this year.

Martinez also said Wednesday that second baseman Daniel Murphy, still recovering from October microfracture surgery, could be sent to Florida to play in extended spring training games “in the next week or so.”

“Being 100 percent honest, I haven’t felt this good since I came out of college. A year off of football can do that when trucks aren’t landing on you every play.”

ROBERT GRIFFIN III, telling reporters about the benefits of sitting out last season. The former Redskins and Browns QB signed a one-year deal with the Ravens on Wednesday. “I’m 28 but I feel like I’m 25,” he said.

FIFA planning to create two global tourneys SOCCER FIFA is planning to team up with Saudi Arabian, Chinese and American investors in a $25 billion, 12-year deal that could add two major international tournaments to a crowded soccer calendar.

With preparations peaking for this year’s World Cup in Russia, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, above, wants to launch an expanded 24-team Club World Cup — played every four years starting in 2021 — and a separate global competition for national teams every two years.

FIFA would have a 51 percent stake in the joint venture with the investors underwriting guaranteed revenues of at least $25 billion, sources said.

The Club World Cup has been a seven-team event played each December. The Champions League winner joins the five other continental club champions and the host nation’s league champion. According to FIFA, the 2017 edition in Abu Dhabi earned $37 million. A revamped Club World Cup would kill off the Confederations Cup, a warm-up for the following year’s World Cup host nation.

The second innovation, called the Nations League, would replace the Confederations Cup as FIFA’s second-tier event in a format yet to be decided.

The joint project is likely to face a hostile reception in Europe, which hosts the world’s biggest stars and most popular club competitions. (AP)

The three concert musicals will be “Little Shop of Horrors,” “The Who’s Tommy” and “The Music Man.” Finn also plans to add one-nightonly staged readings of plays with star actors taking on what he calls “dream roles.”

The major tentpoles are the four Broadway musicals touring through the Opera House: “Anastasia” in the fall, “Miss Saigon” in the holiday slot, “Hello, Dolly!” in June 2019 and Disney’s “Aladdin” after that.

Three musicals will be staged in the Eisenhower Theater during summer 2019: the Lincoln Center production of William Finn’s 1990s “Falsettos” (about a tentative gay couple in the early 1980s), “The Band’s Visit” (a likely Tony Award contender this spring) and “Dear Evan Hansen,” which continues to do sellout business in New York even after the departure of star Ben Platt.

Gordon Sterling MUSICIAN As a musician who has lived in Northern Virginia for three decades, Gordon Sterling, 40, spends the bulk of his time in D.C.-area music venues. On most Tuesdays, he hosts the Gypsy Sally’s Jam — an open session where anyone can put their name in a bucket and be called onstage to jam with other local musicians. But what would the Nappy Riddem guitarist do on a day without a gig? Find a way to play music.

“Writing music and playing music is literally my favorite thing to do on Earth, so there’s not a whole lot more that I can think of that I would rather be doing,” he says. But Sterling — whose new “psychedelic soul” band Gordon Sterling and The People plays its first show ever Friday at Gypsy Sally’s (3401 K St. NW, 9 p.m., $15-$20) — does have some ideas.

I might go to Smith & Clarkson’s Deli, right behind my

house [in Burke, Va.]. They make the most amazing pancakes.

It’s not a perfect day if I don’t go to Action Music in Falls Church — it’s the best music store. They always have such cool vintage gear. Every time I go in there I see something that I want to sell something else to get. My favorite times

I love the National Gallery of Art. There’s an exhibit I see every time called “The Voyage of Life” [by Thomas Cole] and it’s four paintings: “Childhood,” “Youth,” “Manhood” and “Old Age.” It always reminds me of my musical journey. I am definitely past “Childhood” and “Youth” and I am waist-deep in the “Adulthood” part, and that s--- is heavy.

I would love to write and record with my band, Gordon Sterling and The People. We write a lot in [bass player TJ Turqman’s and keyboardist Gena Photiadis’] house in Takoma Park — that place kinda feels like home. After that, we sit and eat dinner together.

My favorite dive bar in the entire D.C. area is Showtime.

They have combos that you can get: I go for a tequila and Natty Boh. The jukebox is the owner’s record collection and this dude has the best collection of blues and early rock ’n’ roll.

I would end at the Gypsy Sally’s Jam. A perfect jam for me is when the music is just on 10 and everyone is just vibing. The music community in D.C. is very incestuous. We all jam with each other, we all know each other and are friends which each other, and it hasn’t always been that way.

D.C., being a political town, the scene can be political, but the jam has done a lot to blur those lines and make it OK for us all to be friends.

JOSH BRICK (DC MUSIC REVIEW)

I’d want to talk to my daughter and see how she’s doing.

She’s 15 so she has her own life to run around and live, and she’s also a musician. There’s this little cafe, Jireh Bakery Cafe [in Centreville, Va.], that’s near her mom’s house that she likes to go to. We talk about politics and social issues a lot.

I would get up, go for a walk in nature and clear my head.

I’d go to Hemlock Overlook [in Clifton, Va.]. There’s something about nature that just brings me to center, specifically the woods and water. I go there a lot to write music, I go there to make business decisions.

weekendpass Q+A | LIL REL HOWERY

Everyone’s new best friend

When did you turn it into a career?

When I turned 21. I moved in with two other comedians and started doing the Riddles Comedy Club in Chicago. That’s how I came up. I used to get paid $50 every Sunday to seat people and get five minutes [of stage time].

People would say, “How can you do that, man? That ain’t demeaning?” “No, I get to go up at the hottest spot every week.”

Your first stand-up special, 2015’s “RELevant,” is full of stories about your life and the characters you’ve met along the way. How has your comedy

evolved since then?

It’s the same thing — what happens is you just get more stories.

I have four hours of material I ain’t done on nothing.

Is this material you’re doing on the road stuff you’ve been sitting on or is it new?

It’s funny you say that. The material I am doing now is for 2020.

The stuff I’m doing now is preparing for [specials] two or three years ahead. It’s a very crazy thing to say to people. “How’s he doing that?” But I’ve strategically thought about it like that over the years. I’m a crazy person like that.

Are you worried about any of it getting stale?

Nah. I think that’s the best thing about doing stuff that’s personal to you. I’m not going to say, “This is in the news!” The things that always stay significant is family stories and dad stories — those stories are always going to be the same no matter

what year it is.

Are you addressing “Get Out” in your stand-up?

Yeah, you do little things. You do get the elephant in the room out the way. You do it in the beginning and then take them on this ride of knowing who you are … because there’s nothin’ you can do about that — they saw “Get Out.” Early on, did you have any sense that “Get Out” would take off the way it did?

None of us did, but Jordan thought it would. It wasn’t until the trailer came out and we saw how crazy it went, and other movies started changing their premiere dates

LEON BENNETT (GETTY IMAGES)

What got you into comedy?

Just being a fan and a nerd of comedy and television and films.

I remember reading Richard Pryor’s first biography when I was 16. “Eddie Murphy Delirious” changed my life. Watching that, it was like, “This is amazing. This is what stand-up is? I gotta do this.”

GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

Comedian Lil Rel Howery lost a job when the NBC sitcom “The Carmichael Show” was canceled last summer, but 2017 was still the best year of his career. That’s because of two words: “Get Out.” Howery — or at least his character, TSA agent Rod Williams — became a fan favorite as writer-director Jordan Peele’s racially charged horror comedy went from box office surprise to pop culture phenomenon. For Howery, 38, the breakout role was the culmination of years of hard work, but the ride isn’t over. “You think about how last year was such a big year for me,” Howery says. “This year is going to be even bigger.” With a Fox sitcom pilot (“Rel”) and several movie roles and stand-up specials in the works, Howery is gearing up for the long term. “What people are gonna learn this year about me is you can’t put your finger on exactly who I am,” he says. To learn more, you can catch him doing stand-up in Arlington this weekend. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

weekendpass Howery gets out a lot in 2018

Lil Rel Howery broke out big with his role as a TSA agent in last year’s “Get Out.”

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Lil Rel Howery is in demand as an actor and has several projects in the works. R.G.

[that we realized] this is about to be a thing, maybe, and you don’t understand what that is until you experience it. I didn’t know it would elevate me in this way where I’m like meeting stars and they can’t wait to meet me.

I don’t think anyone realizes that before it happens.

How many times do you get a chance to do something that impacts culture? I don’t know how many times you get that. You might do a movie that did well, or a Marvel movie — this was a very impactful movie. They study this movie in film school.

“The Shape of Water” may have won the Oscar for best picture, but “Get Out” is going to be the movie everyone remembers from 2017.

Everyone still talks about it.

Sometimes you never understand how award stuff works, but I do understand that maybe you can’t kill a bunch of white people and drive off and think you’ll win an Oscar.

In some ways, you’re the hero of the film. Do you get stopped on the street a lot now?

I get “TS motherf---ing A!” every f---ing day. Because I saved [Daniel Kaluuya’s character Chris], people look at me as a friend. What I think was brilliant about Jordan was creating a hero out of a regular guy. He doesn’t have any superpowers.

All I did was pick him up. I ain’t fight nobody, I ain’t shoot nobody.

I thought that was brilliant that he wrote it that way — that he’s just a good friend.

Do TSA officers recognize you?

All the time, but it’s so funny, I made them way more confident in their jobs. It’s not like they let me through — they’re like, “Oh, we love you. Take your shoes off.”

Before that, your big TV break was “The Carmichael Show,” where your friend and “Girls Trip” star Tiffany Haddish played your ex-wife. You were both scenestealers on that show, so it feels like you were bound to break out.

We went to see “Birth of a Nation” together and a trailer for “Get Out” came on and I’m a chill guy but Tiffany is like, “Hey, y’all, that’s my friend! He’s sitting right here!” But that is our friendship. It’s constant support.

She was even at the taping for “Rel” — that’s what we do, man.

Why haven’t you dropped the “Lil” from your name?

People told me that they wouldn’t put that in lights or in credits and I just wanted to prove them wrong. They will do that if you’re great and dope, so they done it.

‘Uncle Drew’

Howery just filmed the pilot for this Fox sitcom that’s loosely based on his life. He plays a version of himself, a self-made man who has to re-evaluate his life when his wife cheats on him. If the series is picked up, Howery will write for it and play multiple characters, Eddie Murphy-style. “I’m still pinching myself,” Howery says. “It’s crazy playing more than one character, something I’ve always wanted to do on a show.”

Howery stars in this comedy, opening in June, that’s inspired by a character played

by NBA star Kyrie Irving in Pepsi ads. Howery, a huge NBA fan, is tasked with putting together a team for a street basketball tournament and recruits Irving’s Uncle Drew and a bunch of other washed-up ballers played by former pro stars Shaquille O’Neal, Reggie Miller and Lisa Leslie. (Tiffany Haddish and Nick Kroll co-star.) “It was the greatest summer ever,” Howery says of the filming. “It was almost like I paid them to put me in this movie.”

‘Bird Box’

In what is set to be Howery’s biggest departure, he’ll play a yet-to-be-revealed role in Netflix’s post-apocalyptic horror film “Bird Box,” based on the novel of the same name.

Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson and John Malkovich star in the film, due later this year, and Howery says his role is not at all comedic. “I think people are gonna laugh at s--- I say anyway because it’s me,” he says. “I had to really believe what this crazy dude was saying, so I kinda blacked out, I started believing stuff that wasn’t even real to make it work. I became this dude.”

weekendpass SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

While I was loitering in the main atrium of the National Gallery of Art, I overheard a woman talking on her phone, trying to meet up with someone.

“You’re in the wrong building. This is the big one, not the pointy one,” she said.

I imagine this is a conversation that happens often, because the NGA is enormous.

The lost friend was in the museum’s East Building, a 450,000-square-foot structure that holds the NGA’s modern art collection. The West Building, where I stood, is even bigger, a 547,000-square-foot neoclassical temple holding nearly 3,000 masterpieces representing about 600 years of Western art.

Since I had no idea where to start, I joined a free tour called “Great Paintings: The Nation’s Collection.” Also along for the tour: a woman and her two daughters visiting from a nearby suburb, three sharply dressed young men and a 50ish woman.

Our guide, a woman with a head of tight gray curls, led us into a gallery of Renaissance paintings.

“We are going to look at a painting of Leonardo da Vinci’s,” she said. “It’s the only [painting of his] that’s in any public facility in all of the Americas, so it’s pretty special.”

We gathered around a portrait of a somber-looking 16-year-old named Ginevra de’ Benci. The guide asked us what adjectives we would use to describe the teen, and one of

the young men piped up.

“She looks disappointed in me, like I made a bad fashion decision and I really should have known better,” he said.

“Hmmm, that’s interesting,” our guide said, her voice lilting upward in a clear indication she thought his answer was dumb.

The response she was looking for was eventually provided by the 50ish lady, who turned out to be a stealth art historian.

“She’s beautiful, almost glowing,” the woman said, adding, “Da Vinci created the girl’s luminous complexion by applying many thin layers of oil paint.”

Not to be outdone by the tourist, our guide added that the painting might have been commissioned by one of the girl’s many “platonic lovers” — a common practice among the Italian aristocracy at that time.

“What is a platonic lover?” the mom asked.

“Theoretically, it means there’s no sex,” our guide said, looking embarrassed.

“That’s weird,” one of the young men commented. “I don’t believe it.”

“Let’s move on,” the guide said, putting an end to the debate. “Now we are going to go to Rome…”

As we reconvened in the hallway, it became clear that most of our group had quit the tour, quietly hanging back or disappearing into other rooms.

It was down to just me and the 50ish lady.

“Are you still interested?” our guide said, sounding a little needy.

“Yes, definitely!” I said with excessive enthusiasm so she wouldn’t feel rejected.

We gathered around a piece painted by Raphael known as

BEN CLAASSEN III (FOR EXPRESS)

Moving pictures: The sad, beautiful world of the NGA

“The Alba Madonna.” It shows a sad-looking Madonna holding a baby Jesus, who is being handed a cross by a baby John the Baptist. Both babies seemed bizarrely muscular, like they’d been lifting weights at a special gym for toddlers. (“You can do it,” I can hear baby Jesus telling his cousin. “Just two more reps before naptime!”)

“Why do you think the Virgin Mary looks sad?” the guide asked. For once, I knew the answer, because it’s always the answer for this kind of painting.

“Because she knows that Jesus is going to get crucified,” I said.

“Yes, you got it!” she said. I beamed. Even though I graduated from college nearly 20 years ago, apparently I’m still trying for that A+.

Still, I was feeling a bit down, perhaps because I’d just spent 30 minutes looking at rather depressing paintings. Somber faces, subdued colors — the liveliest painting

National Gallery of Art pro tip: A free guided tour can help you get a toehold. we saw on the tour turned out, upon closer examination, to be a saint right before he’s flayed alive. The penultimate painting on our tour, a self-portrait of Rembrandt, was perhaps the most melancholy of all.

“Some really sad things did happen to him,” the guide said of the Dutch master. “His wife died, and he wasn’t able to marry his mistress because he wouldn’t get the inheritance.”

“Poor guy,” my fellow tourist said sassily.

We continued on to the Impressionists gallery, which was positively bustling compared to the sparsely populated Renaissance and Baroque rooms.

I pointed this out to our guide, who said it’s because people are simply more familiar with

Monet and his compatriots. I, however, suspect it’s because these 19th-century paintings are more colorful and lively — some of the people depicted are even smiling!

We stopped at a painting

by Edgar Degas called “Four Dancers.”

“How many dancers do you see in this painting?” our guide asked.

Sensing a trick question, I looked more closely and saw that the dancers were all fixing the same strap on their shoulders. It had never occurred to me before, but unless there was a costume malfunction that simultaneously befell the entire corps de ballet, this picture is of one dancer in a quick succession of positions, like four snapshots combined into one photo.

“Well, that’s really cool,” I said.

“Aren’t you glad you stayed for the whole tour?” the guide asked. And I really, honestly was.

for the audience,” Sheppard says.

“In this day and age, you can be very well-equipped to respond to a piece of art or writing with your politically correct points of view. It’s kind of, ‘I know exactly what I’m supposed to say and supposed to do.’ Humor, for us, is a tool to put us back in the experience of feeling things for the first time.”

“The way laughter is invited in this piece can feel dangerous to people,” Kidwell says. “It can feel offensive to people to have that public release around some of the things that the piece deals with. Offering a nexus of comedy and injustice is its own taboo.”

That doesn’t mean “Underground Railroad Game” uses comedy to entrap you into a spiral of shock or guilt.

“We’re not interested in that gotcha culture, where it’s, ‘Ha-ha, you laughed at that, now you’re a bad person,’ ” Sheppard says. “It’s actually a bunch of people laughing and then having to further

articulate why something is funny. It forces the audience to come up with a more complicated framework for their own laughter, a more complicated understanding of their own laughter.” “ Underground Rai lroad Game” premiered at Philadelphia’s Fringe Festival in 2015 before moving to Ars Nova, a New York City-based company dedicated to supporting emerging talent. Now, as the show heads out on its first tour, with performances scheduled in Denver and the U.K. this year, more and more audiences may find themselves unexpectedly laughing at America’s original sin and slavery’s echoes in society today.

“Laughter is close to crying,” Sheppard says. “The line between the two is as thin as a tightrope.”

STAGE “Underground Railroad Game” owes a lot to an unfortunate time in our past that many people would rather forget: middle school.

The play, which won the 2017 Obie Award for best new American theater work, was inspired by a classroom activity in which co-writer and performer Scott Sheppard’s teachers divided the students into make-believe Union and Confederate soldiers. The former group attempted to slip “escaping slaves” — in the form of dolls — past the latter. Partly from that incredibly awkward and kind of offensive experience from his childhood came “Underground Railroad Game,” which Sheppard wrote and stars in with Jennifer Kidwell.

The two-person show, which opened last week at Woolly Mammoth Theatre, begins with Kidwell and Sheppard playing Hanover Middle School teachers who have the audience partake in a similar doll-smuggling activity.

As the play goes on, Kidwell’s black teacher and Sheppard’s white one become romantically involved, raising questions about the intersection of race and sex.

Kidwell and Sheppard also take on other roles, including a Confederate soldier and a stereotypical, larger-than-life “Mammy.”

Consequently, the show often becomes … uncomfortable. By the end, “Underground Railroad Game” has forced the audience to recognize and engage with some hard truths — namely, America’s troubled (to put it mildly) track record on race, gender and power.

But, you know, with laughs.

All Express. All the time.

BOOKS Bethesda-based writer Katherine Heiny spends a lot of time thinking about infidelity.

Her collection of short stories, “Single, Carefree, Mellow,” stars at least a half-dozen cheaters, and her debut novel, 2017’s “Standard Deviation,” continues the trend.

Though the story is more about family and friendships than adultery, the main character does consider cheating on his second wife with his first.

Heiny, in contrast, is happily married — to a former MI6 spy.

“He helps me with whatever I’m plotting,” she says of her husband, Ian McCredie, who was under a KGB death threat when the two started dating. “He’s really good at thinking about secrets and motives.”

Heiny, who will discuss “Standard Deviation” at Solid State Books on Tuesday to mark its paperback release, also uses McCredie as a sort of template for the nerdy men who often show up in her stories.

“He’s a mathematician by trade and he tells me a lot of facts that I’m not always all that interested in,” Heiny says. “My children, they call it ‘being provoked.’ If I say something mathor science- or language-related to my husband, they say, ‘Don’t provoke him! Don’t do it!’ ” In “Single, Carefree, Mellow,” Heiny’s main characters are all women and many are writers, but for her first novel, Heiny tried writing from a very alien perspective: Her main character, Graham, is a man who works in finance.

“It worried me that he was an investment banker,” she says.

“I’m really bad at math.”

A novel both hilarious and touching, “Standard Deviation” began life as “the least satisfying short story ever written,”

LEILA BARBARO

The author got quite invested while writing her novel ‘Standard Deviation’

Katherine Heiny stepped outside of her comfort zone for her debut novel.

Solid plan for the future Katherine Heiny’s talk will be among the last events held in Solid State Books’ small pop-up shop in The Apollo building. That’s because the independent bookstore will soon move into its permanent home, a 4,300-square-foot space on the bottom floor of the apartment/ retail development. “We’re hoping to be moved in by the end of the month,” says Laura Tischler, the store’s programming coordinator.

The new digs will allow Solid State to run more innovative programs, such as writers’ workshops, tastings with cookbook authors and perhaps even film viewings.

The business also has the option of using The Apollo’s common areas, which include a roof deck and conservatory, Tischler says. “We are going to do all sorts of exciting things there,” she says. S.D.

Heiny says. In the original draft, Graham and his wife, Audra, are waiting to find out what’s wrong with their temperamental son — a diagnosis that never

arrives. That was because, at the time she was writing the draft, Heiny d id n’t k now what was up with the couple’s son either.

“It’s a slow reveal in the book because it was a slow reveal to me,” she says of the son’s Asperger’s diagnosis in the finished novel. “I figured it out as I was writing it.”

Writing “Standard Deviation” also revealed a side of Heiny’s own personality. As she channeled bubbly Audra, the naturally introverted author found herself becoming more like her character, asking strangers personal questions and saying whatever was on her mind.

“She was really fun to write about,” Heiny says. “I miss her so much. I still sometimes think of things she would say.”

Here’s the dirt on the trail life

What were your lives like when you decided to go thru-hiking?

Elise Mann: Will and I had both spent about four years in D.C. Will was doing audiovisual tech stuff and I was working for a think tank around global health.

We had been talking about wanting to do something else, either take a break or get out for a little while.

Will Stowe: During college I always talked about taking a year off and doing [the trail]. My parents said no — I’m glad they didn’t let me do that. But I had it in the back of my mind for a long time.

Will Stowe gazes at Maine’s Mount Katahdin, the summit of which marks the end of the Appalachian Trail.

ELISE MANN

How experienced were you as hikers before that?

Mann: I grew up hiking in Colorado.

Stowe: I grew up kayaking and hiking and backpacking and in the mountains of North Carolina.

Mann: But neither of us had done any hiking longer than a week or two.

What resources did you find valuable before you left?

Stowe: I did a lot of Googling and finding forums online.

There’s one called whiteblaze

WILL STOWE

Itching for adventure and seeking a break from their D.C. jobs, Elise Mann and Will Stowe figured it was time to go for a walk.

In 2015, that’s exactly what the couple did, hiking roughly 2,190 miles from Georgia to Maine through woods and mountains, snow and rain on the Appalachian Trail. It took 146 days, four pairs of hiking boots each and more nonperishable food than either wants to think about, but the couple became two of the approximately 19,000 in history who have “thru-hiked” the trail, meaning they completed the entire length on foot. Mann, 28, and Stowe, 30, shared the secrets of how they completed such an undertaking — and how you can, too. LORI MCCUE (EXPRESS)

.net. There’s a lot of former thruhikers on there — I used it a lot to figure out what equipment we should take.

Mann: We took a day trip from D.C. out to Harpers Ferry and visited the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. I think my favorite advice we got from there was, “Just don’t be stupid,” which I think is pretty excellent hiking advice. For me, it was a lot of talking to people and hearing what their experiences were like.

There’s a really great network to plug into.

WILL STOWE

Elise Mann laces up at the summit of Mount Lafayette in New Hampshire.

Let’s talk gear. What are some big purchases that an aspiring hiker needs to make?

Stowe: Your shoes and your pack are really important, and those just need to fit.

Mann: There’s this hiking community called “The Trek,” and they have a bunch of compiled lists that they pull together as every thru-hiking season starts of recommended tents and this or that.

Stowe: Rather than thinking about weight or size, make sure it’s gonna do OK in the rain. No matter how expensive your tent is, if you’re getting wet in your tent, you’re gonna be unhappy. … There’s people out there with tents that cost like $700, but then there’s people with a tarp they got at Walmart, and that’s fine too. It’s whatever you’re comfortable with and what’s gonna work for you.

Mann: There’s no right or wrong way to do it.

Stowe: Well, there’s plenty of wrong ways to do it. There’s just a lot of right ways, too.

What did your prep for the trail look like?

Mann: I think the best way to get in shape for hiking is just to hike.

With that in mind, we went slow and tried not to push ourselves too hard.

Stowe: We’d get 8 miles in and

Want a taste of the trail?

Damascus in southern Virginia is unofficially known as the official town of the Appalachian Trail. “The main sidewalk in town is part of the official trail,” Stowe elaborates. It’s also the place to go if you want a small taste of trail life: The town’s annual Trail Days Festival (May 18-20 this year) offers food, crafts, live music and lectures and workshops with past thru-hikers who share their experiences. L.M.

then stop, even if it was the middle of the afternoon. We waited like a week, and then did like 10 miles a day for a week, then 12.

Mann: You don’t necessarily have had to do a ton [of hiking practice] beforehand. There were a lot of people we met [on the trail] that had done day hikes but hadn’t done a ton of camping. That’s OK — the A.T. is a bit more accessible [than other trails] because you’re passing through towns every three to six days.

How easy is it to meet people on the trail?

Stowe: When you first start out on the trail, there’s just mobs of people. People start thinning out, either because they’re spreading out or because people decide not to continue. We started seeing CONTINUED ON PAGE T4

WILL STOWE AND ELISE MANN

Thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail carry all their gear for roughly 2,190 miles, so they know how to make what’s inside their backpacks count. “Everything you have with you, you want to have it serve multiple uses,” Elise Mann says. “If it only serves one need then you have to evaluate why you have it.” Here are some of the items she and Will Stowe are glad they brought with them on the trail. L.M.

Mann: Your feet change so much based on how tired you are and how swollen they are and how much you walk on them or how hydrated you are. I talk to my feet all the time.

the same people over and over and developed these friends.

If you’re on the same hiking schedule — like going the same mileage, staying at the same campsites — you’re stuck with them.

Mann: Folks that are gonna keep going on the thru-hike are going to have a certain level of grittiness, a certain level of wild. The mountains are beautiful and I love being outside, but I think the people were the best part.

It’s risky to rely on your cellphone to find the nearest campsite or town, as the woods don’t come with outlets for your charger. Thru-hiker David “Awol” Miller’s “A.T. Guide” is the standard for thru-hikers, Stowe says: “Pretty much 80 percent of the people thruhiking use that book.”

Garden kneeler How do you think the experience changed you?

Stowe: I’m not afraid to try things and I have the confidence that I’ll be able to do it. I’m happy to dive into some situation at work that I’ve never done before, or into something I’m scared of.

I’ll just do it.

How did you two do this without getting sick of each other?

What advice do you have for aspiring thru-hikers?

Mann: At the beginning of the hike, we were like, “How do we talk about what happens if we hate each other?” We’d hike separately sometimes. We’d say, like, “Meet you in 10 miles.”

Also, our tent was a neutral zone: That was our rule. That was really helpful in how we worked through conflict.

ELISE MANN

Is there anything you’d do differently?

Stowe: It took a while [on the trail] to find a pair of shoes that would work, and I think we both suffered because of that.

What you need to get thru it

Elise and Will went through four pairs of shoes each on the trail.

Mount Washington in New Hampshire is at the “we’re soooo close” point of the Appalachian Trail.

Maine is the last state border Mann and Stowe crossed on the trail.

Mann: It was helpful for me to have some way to remember why you wanted to do it in the first place, on those days that it is really crummy or disheartening. We got to Maine and all of a sudden I was like, “I’ve already hiked 1,900 miles and everything hurts. I can’t imagine going another 300 miles!” Then Will and I spent a day or two thinking about what it would mean for me to stop 300 miles short. It can be helpful to have a way to remember why this is the challenge you wanted to do. It’s amazing, but it’s tough.

“You’re always sitting on things, so having a foam pad to put your butt on is so nice,” Stowe says.

“It worked as everything: a pad if you need to set a hot plate on something, a fan if you need to blow on a fire.” Store it at the top of your pack and it provides an extra layer of rain protection.

Ramen noodles Stowe and Mann always kept a couple of extra packs of these lightweight dried noodles on hand. “We never planned to actually have ramen for dinner, but it was always good if we finished our dinner and were still hungry,” Stowe says.

Darn Tough socks This Vermont company makes “the best hiking socks ever,” as Mann puts it. “While maybe not a huge purchase, they’re the second most important purchase for your feet — behind shoes.”

See Congress’ old nuclear option HISTORY From 1962 to 1992, folks attending conferences held at the tony Greenbrier resort in White Sulfur Springs, W.Va., walked through a massive exhibit hall in the west wing of the building without realizing they were in a secret government facility.

Maybe they noticed a few weird things — the thick concrete walls, the huge doors, the many men’s restrooms. But only a handful of people working at the resort knew the truth: that the hall was part of Congress’ official nuclear fallout shelter, which also included a bunker deep underground.

Much of the 112,000-squarefoot complex — which was declassified in 1992 after being outed by The Washington Post — is now leased by a data storage company, but parts of the facility are on view to anyone who signs up for one of the hotel’s 90-minute bunker tours.

Today, visitors to the bunker walk past huge blast doors and down a narrow corridor lined with shower heads — where, if it had ever been used, members of Congress and their staffs (but not their families, who wouldn’t have gotten a ticket to post-apocalyptic safety) would have been decontaminated before entering

the facility. A former bunk room has been converted into a mini museum showcasing artifacts from the rest of the shelter, including equipment from the medical clinic and the television studio that would have been used to broadcast information to whoever might still be around to listen — complete with sunny backdrops of a long-gone D.C. As for the aboveground level of the fallout shelter, it’s largely unchanged. The two auditoriums that were designed to be postapocalyptic House and Senate floors still play host to more mundane meetings, and the area where the lawmakers would have eaten their rations is still used for weddings and other catered events. One notable difference: CONTINUED ON PAGE T6

You know those towns that boast about having something for everyone? And usually it’s a gimmick because, come on. But Roanoke, nestled in southwestern Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, actually delivers. There’s the outdoorsy side with more than 600 miles of trails, and a sophisticated downtown flush with museums, history and good food. “People are always so surprised,” says Taylor Spellman, who’s lived in the region for 17 years and is a public relations manager with Visit Virginia’s Blue Ridge, a tourism bureau. “There’s an incredible balance of metro and mountain, and spring is when all our trees are blooming. It’s a very friendly, vibrant, hospitable community.” Bonus: In October, Amtrak resumed service to and from Roanoke after a 38-year hiatus. If you’re tempted to take the five-hour trip from Union Station, here are activities for a variety of personality types.

Most last three hours, involve walking from spot to spot and cost $52 to $58 per person. “Our food tour [operation] is one of my favorite things,” Spellman says. “We have a really vibrant culinary scene, and the guides mix in the history of all the places you see.” On the downtown food tour, for example, you’ll samples dishes at a Lebanese restaurant, a chocolatier, a 24-hour tavern, a corned beef eatery and more.

Rooster Walk celebrates its 10th year with swamp rock band JJ Grey & Mofro, gospel rockers Robert Randolph and the Family Band and a special collaborative set between up-and-comers Billy Strings and Marcus King.

Camping in the scenic woods of Pop’s Farm is as much of a draw: You can go hiking, biking and do other outdoor activities.

The nonprofit LEAF Festival turns 46 this year and, beyond a diverse mix of jazz (Snarky Puppy), folk (Ani DiFranco), soul (The Suffers) and world music (Bokante), the event offers scenic camping near a lake and a program of “healing arts.” Expect more than 50 workshops on such topics as nutrition, yoga and dance; take a plant walk or get a massage and acupuncture.

Organized and headlined by Del McCoury, the camping festival boasts a who’s who of bluegrass acts, including Bela Fleck, Rhiannon Giddens and more. For musicians, the main attraction may be the four days before the fest, when McCoury’s sons, Rob and Ron, host a music academy full of jam sessions and classes.

‘Big Fish & Begonia’

SHIFT celebrates the vitality, identity, and extraordinary artistry of orchestras and chamber orchestras by creating an immersive festival experience in the nation’s capital. For more information, visit SHIFTfestival.org Co-presented by Washington Performing Arts and the Kennedy Center.

“Big Fish & Begonia” is like nothing you’ve seen before. First, the plot: Chun, an immortal being who takes the shape of a red dolphin, swims too close to shore, gets caught in a net and is freed by a fisherman who dies in the process. His bravery inspires her, so she tries to figure out a way to spare his life, which somehow involves him becoming a fish. With its sweeping, swirling visuals, this Chinese animated film isn’t bound by any real logic, so it’s best to watch it as though riding a wave and just flow with the story. In the end, “Big Fish & Begonia” is about the search for unselfishness in a world full of creatures that too often look out only for themselves. You can catch it now at the Regal Cinemas in Rockville and Fairfax (or at Landmark’s E Street Cinema starting April 19), with both subtitled and dubbed screenings offered.

‘The Fifth Element’

‘The Greatest Showman’

Yes, yes, Gary Oldman was very good in “Darkest Hour,” which is why they gave him an Oscar last month. He definitely didn’t get it as some sort of Lifetime Achievement Sorry You Haven’t Won One Yet consolation prize. Anyway, if you want to see Oldman be absolutely batpoop insane — and be really, really good at it — you need to see (or re-see) “The Fifth Element.”

Luc Besson’s 1997 sci-fi adventure stars Milla Jovovich as a woman (kind of) who doesn’t need Bruce Willis’ help to save the universe, though he does come in handy at times. Angelika Film Center, 2911

If you’d like to see a movie from last year that has one really great song (that would be “This Is Me”) and also has other songs, you could do worse than “The Greatest Showman.” Hugh Jackman stars as P.T. Barnum in the musical biopic that conveniently leaves out the animal (and human) cruelty that was a big part of the circus founder’s life.

Washington Post book critic Carlos Lozada named Matthew Desmond’s “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City” the best book of 2016, and now the National Building Museum is turning the Princeton University professor of sociology’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book into an exhibition. “Evicted” uses original photography and audio interviews to tell the stories of tenant families caught in the painful cycle of chronic eviction.

Organizers of the free exhibit hope visitors leave with ideas on how to advocate for more affordable housing in their own communities.

FILM

‘RZA: Live From the 36th Chamber of Shaolin’ Wu-Tang Clan fans know all about the connection between the trailblazing 1990s hip-hop posse and the classic 1978 kung fu film “The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.”

Wu-Tang’s RZA first saw the movie as a 12-year-old and has said he’s seen it more than 300 times since. He’s such a devoted fan that he created an entirely new “live score” for the film, featuring dozens of new instrumental and vocal tracks, which he’s performing during a screening.

‘Waiting for Godot’ Irish playwright Samuel Beckett turned killing time into an art form — and a cultural touchstone — with his existential classic “Waiting for Godot.” Ireland’s renowned theater company Druid brings its production of the play to the Shakespeare Theatre Company this spring as part of an international tour. There’s not much plot in the story about two friends hanging out by the side of the road in hopes of seeing the mysterious Godot, but there is plenty of time to ponder life’s biggest questions. Shakespeare Theatre’s Lansburgh Theatre, 450 Seventh St. NW; Tue. through May 20, $44-$118.

HBO

Superior Service | Years of Experience

Diving into life’s ‘Problem Areas’ TELEVISION Wyatt Cenac took inspiration from John Oliver for “Problem Areas,” a new late-night comedy “docuseries” that debuts at 11:30 p.m. Friday on HBO. The series resembles Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight” in how each episode has a central story approached with journalistic rigor, and quicker comedic bits. Oliver is an executive producer and the show’s backstage is populated with people who worked with him and also at their shared alma mater, “The Daily Show.”

Here, Cenac’s more laid-back style replaces Oliver’s hyperactivity. “Problem Areas” has no studio audience, and in each episode, Cenac travels somewhere different in the country to explore aspects of the main story. Like the podcast “Serial,”

the entire 10-episode season concentrates on different facets of one story: policing and how it affects different communities.

Like many black men and women, Cenac says he’s had his own uncomfortable experiences being pulled over by the police.

Besides looking into some wellknown cases where police actions were questioned, the show also looks into how police officers are trained and interact with certain communities.

“I come in with the curiosity of a concerned citizen,” Cenac says.

“The one thing that I have, that I’ve been given, is a platform.

And if I can use that platform to ask the questions that I’m generally asking in life, and I can find a way to do it that’s entertaining, I feel like it’s a win-win.”

Cannes had banned any films without theatrical distribution in France from its Palme d’Or competition, essentially ruling out Netflix. “We want our films to be on fair ground with every other filmmaker,” Sarandos told Variety.

DIFFICULT

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may be in need of a change of scenery today; explore some unfamiliar territory and you might find what is right for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Open discussion is likely to be the only avenue to understanding and agreement today, so why not get it going right away?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others are waiting for you to make a plan, but you’re not sure how you want to begin. A little more exploration is necessary, perhaps.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may not get a second chance today, so be sure you make a strong start. Yes, you’re putting all your eggs into one basket.

You’re trying to gather your forces in preparation for a major campaign, but things don’t seem to be aligning the way you had hoped — yet.

TODAY: Morning clouds and perhaps even a brief shower may hold temperatures back a bit. But by afternoon, we should be off to the races, with partly to mostly sunny skies as highs climb to the low to mid-70s. Winds diminish tonight, although we still keep a bit of a breeze from the southwest.

Lows fall to the 50s.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may be criticized for putting a negative spin on things. But all you’re trying to do is promote a realistic outlook.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A friend is likely to make a choice that you would never make. Still, you can learn something about what is possible.

As of Wednesday afternoon, TMZ reported that Khloe Kardashian was having early contractions and might be in labor in Cleveland. The news came a day after multiple outlets reported that her boyfriend, Cavaliers player Tristan Thompson, was caught on video getting close to a model in New York last week. TMZ on Tuesday also released a surveillance video that appeared to show him cheating on Kardashian with two women at a nightclub in Arlington in October. A source told Page Six that Kardashian “went ballistic” when she found out. (EXPRESS)
