‘Hopeful about the future’ EDUCATION With all the thoroughness of a science fair judge, President Barack Obama made his way through a maze of posterboard and robotic contraptions, pausing to quiz the young scientists and inventors. He learned about a process to turn foam cups into glue, a special vacuum cleaner for a subway and a balloon “spacecraft” that two little girls used to launch a photo of their late cat, Loki, to the edge of space. “That’s unbelievable!” Obama told Rebecca and Kimberly Yeung, who are 9 and 11 years old. “You guys are amazing!” Obama hosted his final White House Science Fair on Wednesday, hobnobbing with young brainiacs and speaking of how their fearlessness and courage in attacking problems — from subway trash to Ebola — buoyed his optimism for the future. He said the science fair, which his administration started six years ago, provided him “with some of the best moments I have had as president.”

“There’s nothing that makes me more hopeful about the future than seeing young people like the ones who are here,” Obama said. “All of you are showing us grownups that it’s never too early in life to make a difference.” The White House Science Fair aims to showcase the nation’s brightest young scientists and inventors, and more than 130 students exhibited their creations and projects this year. The science fair is one of the more visible parts of the

The U.S. Department of Education released guidance Wednesday to local school districts on how they should direct federal dollars toward increasing STEM education. The administration in 2012 set a goal of producing 1 million more college graduates in STEM fields by 2022, and it also has pushed computer coding in the classroom. Addressing the science fair participants, Obama said it is critical to encourage women to join STEM fields: “We’re not going to succeed when we’ve got half the team on the bench. Especially when it’s the smarter half.” Obama highlighted the work of several students, including Jacob Leggette, a 9-year-old from Baltimore who wrote to 3-D printer companies and offered to write them reviews if they allowed him to sample their devices. The young engineer showed off a model of the White House he made with a 3-D printer and then said: “I have a question, Mr. President.

House panels grill Metro executives Republican members say they won’t give the transit system a bailout
PRINCE GEORGE’S
County says ‘no’ to fracking
BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)
TRANSPORTATION The Washington area’s struggling subway system won’t get a federal bailout, House Republicans said Thursday as they blamed the Metro system’s recent series of crises on poor management rather than a lack of funding. The deteriorating state of the nation’s second-busiest transit system was the subject of a hearing Wednesday afternoon by two House oversight subcommittees. Last month, Metro’s general manager made the unprecedented decision to shut down the system for an entire day for emergency inspections of third-rail power cables. The shutdown followed two fires that were sparked by faulty power cables, including one in January 2015 that killed one passenger and sickened more than 80 others. Metro’s board chairman said the problems can be traced to decades of deferred maintenance that stems, in part, from Metro’s lack of a dedicated funding source. The system’s operations are funded by D.C., Maryland and Virginia, while Congress provides $150 million a year for capital improvements. Metro receives other federal grants, although those come with strings attached.

Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans, left, makes a fiery opening statement to a House subcommittee Wednesday as Metro GM Paul Wiedefeld listens.
Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., the chairman of one of the subcommittees, said Metro doesn’t know how to spend the money it has. He said the system is sitting on $783 million in unspent federal grants. “You’re dealing with people who are broke. I am not going to bail you out. I am not going to support bailing out the District of Columbia,” Mica said. Mica and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., the other subcommittee chairman, had an angry exchange with Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans after Evans said the federal government should contribute $300 million a year to the system’s operating budget. Meadows said that would give Metro the highest operating costs of any transit system in the nation. Metro’s general manager,
Paul Wiedefeld, who took over in November, said in written testimony that he has found “systemic issues with regard to track, power and car maintenance,” and he said he would submit a new maintenance plan to the public in four to six weeks. Before the hearing, in a meeting with senators from Maryland and Virginia, Wiedefeld suggested that, given the system’s maintenance needs, it may not make sense anymore to keep it open until 3 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Evans also said additional closures would be necessary to deal with the maintenance backlog. “The idea of fixing this by working 3 hours at night and on the weekends is not working,” he said.

Lawmakers in Prince George’s County voted unanimously Tuesday to ban hydraulic fracking, becoming the first local jurisdiction in Maryland to prohibit the extraction of natural gas within its borders since the state’s moratorium on the practice went into effect. The legislation amends the zoning ordinance to forbid natural-gas drilling across the county and particularly in the rural southern communities sitting on top of the Taylorsville Basin. The basin — which runs through southern Maryland and into Virginia — is a potentially untapped natural-gas reserve, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. But it spans an ecologically sensitive area that residents and activists have long fought to protect. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Report: Chicago police force plagued by racism CHICAGO Police in Chicago have “no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color” and have alienated blacks and Hispanics for decades by using excessive force and honoring a code of silence, a task force declared Wednesday in a report that seeks sweeping changes to the nation’s third-largest police force. The panel, established by Mayor Rahm Emanuel late last year in response to an outcry over police shootings, found that the department does little to weed out problem officers and
routine encounters unnecessarily turn deadly. The group concluded that fear and lack of trust in law enforcement among minorities is justified, citing data that show 74 percent of the hundreds of people shot by officers in recent years were AfricanAmericans, even though blacks account for 33 percent of the city’s population. The city’s new police chief said the department welcomed “a fresh set of eyes” but was not waiting for recommendations from the task force or from

Path for Cruz win emerges POLITICS Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is close to ensuring that Donald Trump cannot win the GOP nomination on a second ballot at the party’s July convention in Cleveland, scooping up scores of delegates who have pledged to vote for him instead of the front-runner if given the chance. The push by Cruz means that it is more essential than ever for Trump to clinch the nomination by winning a majority of delegates to avoid a contested and drawn-out convention fight, which Trump seems almost certain to lose. Trump’s path to amassing the 1,237 delegates he needs to win outright has only gotten narrower after losing to Cruz in Wisconsin and other recent contests, and would require him to perform better in the remaining states than he has to this point. In addition, based on the delegate selections made by states and territories, Cruz is poised to pick up at least 130 more votes on a second ballot, according to a Washington Post analysis. That

senator from Texas lost. Trump has a commanding lead in total delegates and the overall vote total, but has complained that Republican leaders are conspiring against him in a bid to silence his supporters. “The RNC should be ashamed of itself for allowing this to happen,” Trump said Tuesday night while campaigning in Rome, N.Y. When the presidential nomination vote is held at the convention, 95 percent of the delegates will be bound to the results in their states for the first vote, giving Trump his best shot at securing a majority. But if Trump falls short, the convention will cast a second ballot in which more than 1,800 delegates from 31 states — nearly 60 percent of the total — will be unbound and allowed to vote however they want. By the third round, 80 percent of the delegates would be free, sparking a potential free-for-all that could continue for several more rounds. Cruz said this week that he thinks the odds of a contested convention are “very high.” He told radio talk-show host Glenn Beck: “In Cleveland, I believe we will have an enormous advantage.” ED O’KEEFE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A billionaire’s $250M quest to ‘solve’ cancer Billionaire Sean Parker, above, famous for his founding roles at Napster and Facebook, is backing an unconventional $250 million effort to attack cancer that involves persuading hundreds of the country’s top scientists — who often are in competition with each other — to join forces and unify their research targets. The consortium, announced Wednesday, focuses on immunotherapy, a relatively new area of research that seeks to mobilize the body’s own defense systems to fight mutant cancer cells. Many believe it represents the future of cancer therapy. More than 300 scientists working at 40 labs in six institutions — Stanford, the University of California, San Francisco, University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Pennsylvania, MD Anderson Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center — have already signed on. Parker describes the effort as a way to remove obstacles related to bureaucracy that will allow scientists to borrow from each other’s labs unencumbered. The researchers will continue to be based at their home institutions but will receive additional funding and access to other resources, including specialized data scientists and genetic engineering equipment set to become part of the nonprofit Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy in San Francisco.

With a brain chip, hand grasps again Landmark technology uses signals to bypass a damaged spinal cord TECHNOLOGY Ian Burkhart was only 19 when the accident happened. He had been swimming in the Outer Banks with some buddies when a wave caught him and hurled him into a sandbar, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. But he always held out hope that medical science would one day be able to help him regain enough movement to become more independent. That day has finally arrived. Scientists reported Wednesday in the journal Nature that they have been able to implant a chip in Burkhart’s brain that sends signals to an array of 130 electrodes embedded in a “sleeve” he wears on his arm that has given him the ability to move his hand with significant accuracy. Holding a glass of water and pouring it out. Using a stick to stir the contents of a jar. Playing Guitar Hero. These are the movements of mundane, daily life that many of us take for granted. But for Burkhart it’s nothing short of a miracle. “The first time I was able to open and close my hands, it really gave me a sense of hope

for the future,” Burkhart, now 24, said in a call with reporters. The technique used involves reconnecting the brain to the body by bypassing the damaged spinal cord. For the interface to work, Burkhart concentrates on the movement he wants to make and a computer connected to the chip translates those signals into something his muscles understand. The study marks the first time a paralyzed patient has been able to regain movement in his own body — a total of six different wrist and hand motions — by using signals that originated within the brain.

Soda’s slump is bad news for restaurants A new report by market research firm Mintel suggests the soda industry, already facing declines in consumption, could be in for even bigger trouble. As part of the study, analysts asked a nationally representative group how their restaurant ordering habits have changed. Almost a quarter said they’re ordering soda less often than they were a year ago. This might not seem terribly foreboding. If Americans are consuming less soda overall, why wouldn’t they be drinking less of it at restaurants, too? But there’s a nuance here that matters: People behave quite differently at restaurants than they do at home. It’s one thing for people to shy away from opening a can at home, to tweak their daily habits for a healthier lifestyle. But it’s another thing for them to refrain while treating themselves to a respite from the usual routine. If as many Americans are opting to order something other than soda while out at restaurants as Mintel’s report indicates, the industry could be facing a difficult truth: Soda is even losing its appeal as an indulgence. The trend isn’t only disconcerting for big soft drink companies, said Caleb Bryant, an industry analyst at Mintel. Restaurants, he says, probably don’t like it either. “It’s no secret that some of the biggest margins at restaurants are on beverages,” he said. ROBERTO A. FERDMAN

FBI paid for iPhone hack Terrorist’s phone was accessed using intel bought from hackers TECHNOLOGY The FBI cracked a San Bernardino terrorist’s phone with the help of hackers who discovered and brought to the bureau at least one previously unknown software flaw, according to people familiar with the matter. The new information was then used to create a piece of hardware that helped the FBI to crack the iPhone’s four-digit personal
identification number without triggering a security feature that would have erased all the data, the individuals said. The people who helped the U.S. government come from the sometimes shadowy world of hackers and security researchers who profit from finding flaws in companies’ software or systems. The researchers, who typically keep a low profile, specialize in hunting for vulnerabilities and then, in some cases, selling them to the U.S. government. They were paid a one-time flat fee for the iPhone solution.

In his first 10 seasons in the league, Alex Ovechkin never led the Capitals past the second roundof the playoffs.

CAPITALS VS. FLYERS | GAME 1: 7 TONIGHT, CSN
Why this year should be different
Here are three on-therise NBA players with limited experience in the postseason who will be ready to distinguish themselves when the playoffs begin this weekend. DAVE TEPPS (EXPRESS)

The Capitals, who open the playoffs tonight against the Flyers, haven’t reached the conference finals in seven postseason appearances since 2008. Here’s what happened, and why it might be different this year. BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS) Record: 45-26-11; 101 points
Where they came up short: The Capitals never identified a top-line right wing to play opposite Alex Ovechkin, who skated with nine different wings that season. How this year is different: The offseason acquisition of T.J. Oshie solidified the that position. Ovechkin skated alongside Oshie for 74 percent of his even-strength shifts (according to leftwinglock. com). Oshie finished second on the team with a career-high 26 goals.
2012-13 Capitals Record: 27-18-3; 57 points (lockout-shortened season)
Where they came up short: They won their division in their first season under coach Adam Oates despite finishing 27th on the penalty kill and 28th in shotsagainst. The power play ranked first, but when it collapsed in the first round against the Rangers (the Caps went 1-for-9 in Games 3-7), so did Washington’s chance to advance. How this year is different: They are as balanced as they have ever been in the Ovechkin Era. They are the only team in the top five in
This will be only the second playoff appearance for Charlotte since he arrived in 2011. And it’s been his best year: 21.1 ppg, 5.2 assists.
goals (2nd), goals-against (2nd), power play (5th) and penalty kill (2nd).
ALEX BRANDON (AP)
2014-15 Capitals
Hornets point guard
2011-12 Capitals Record: 42-32-8; 92 points
Where they came up short: Coach Dale Hunter’s conservative approach seemed to position the club for a deep playoff run, but in limiting Ovechkin’s offensive creativity the Capitals didn’t take full advantage of their best asset. How this year’s different: Ovechkin is coming off his third straight 50-goal season and is comfortable in Barry Trotz’s system. The Capitals were again among the stingiest defensive teams, but not at the expense of some of the game’s best offensive weapons.
2010-11 Capitals Record: 48-23-11; 107 points
Where they came up short: After trying Tomas Fleischmann, Brooks Laich and rookie Marcus Johansson as the second-line center, the Capitals acquired Jason Arnott at the trade deadline. In his penultimate NHL season, he had one goal in nine playoff games. The search for a long-term second-line
Redskins sign CB Greg Toler to 1-year deal
center continued for years. How this year is different: Evgeny Kuznetsov has teamed with No. 1 center Nicklas Backstrom to finally give the Capitals a solid 1-2 punch down the middle. Kuznetsov led the club this season with 57 assists, 77 points and a plus-27 rating in 82 games.
2009-10 Capitals Record: 54-15-13; 121 points
Where they came up short: The Capitals blew a 3-1 series lead and missed an opportunity to eliminate the Canadiens in Game 5 at Verizon Center. Montreal won Games 5, 6 and 7 as Jaroslav Halak stopped 141 of 144 shots. It didn’t help that the Capitals’ power play went 1-for-34 in seven games against Montreal. How this year is different: The Capitals are a more veteran group that has shown a killer instinct. Washington was 34-2-2 when scoring first this season.
Patriots waive DL Dominique Easley, a first-round pick in 2014
2008-09 Capitals Record: 50-24-8; 108 points
Where they came up short: Rookie goaltender Semyon Varlamov replaced veteran Jose Theodore early in Round 1, and while Varlamov showed flashes, in Game 7 against Pittsburgh in Round 2 he allowed four goals on 18 shots in a 6-2 loss. How this year is different: The Capitals have an undisputed No. 1 in goal with Vezina Trophy favorite Braden Holtby.
2007-08 Capitals Record: 43-31-8; 94 points
2 C.J. McCollum Trail Blazers shooting guard The NBA’s most improved player? He lifted his scoring average from 6.8 last year to 20.9 as Portland reinvented itself post-LaMarcus Aldridge.
1 Isaiah Thomas Celtics point guard
At 5-foot-9, he has become one of the NBA’s most dynamic (and likable) players, averaging 22.2 ppg. He’ll be making his first playoff start.
Where they came up short: 15 players plus coach Bruce Boudreau were making their playoff debuts. How this year is different: They have tons of playoff experience, including 2014 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Justin Williams, fellow Stanley Cup champs Mike Richards and Brooks Orpik, and veterans like Ovechkin, Backstrom and Holtby.

BASEBALL Former Nationals slugger Adam LaRoche clearly doesn’t limit himself to the conventional. This spring, LaRoche, 36, stunned baseball by walking away from the White Sox — and the $13 million he would have earned this season — because the front office wanted to limit the amount of time his son could spend with him in the clubhouse. The way LaRoche spent the recent offseason was surprising, too. Here is how the new issue of ESPN the Magazine describes it: “LaRoche, along with Brewers
pitcher Blaine Boyer, spent 10 days in November in Southeast Asian brothels, wearing a hidden camera and doing undercover work to help rescue underage sex slaves.” It turns out that LaRoche and Boyer were working on behalf of a nonprofit called The Exodus Road, which vets, trains, funds and equips “operatives to collect evidence of trafficking and then work with police to bring freedom,” according to its website. The two ballplayers conducted surveillance in Southeast Asian brothels in attempt to determine

the age of the girls working there, and the sobering experience led at least partially to LaRoche’s decision to hang it up. “What are we doing? We’re going back to play a game for the next eight months?” LaRoche recalled asking Boyer as they were leaving, the article says. As for his son, Drake, LaRoche said this year was most likely the last in which they could possibly spend so much time together in the clubhouse. Next year, Drake will begin high school, where he won’t be allowed to study remotely. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Treinen growing into bigger role
Braves’ Olivera charged with assaulting woman
Southern Cal hires Swann to succeed Haden as AD
Braves outfielder Hector Olivera was placed on paid administrative leave by Major League Baseball on Wednesday after he was arrested and charged with assaulting a woman at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Pentagon City. Earlier Wednesday, the woman — an acquaintance of Olivera — told police he had assaulted her. Police said she had visible bruises. The Braves are in Washington for a series against the Nationals. Olivera, 31, defected from Cuba and agreed to a $62.5 million, six-year contract with the Dodgers last May. He was traded to Atlanta on July 30. (AP)
Lynn Swann is the next Southern California football great hired to run its athletic department. The Pro Football Hall of Famer for the Steelers was named athletic director Wednesday. He will succeed Pat Haden on July 1. Swann, 64, has no experience in collegiate athletic administration and will be the third straight former USC football player to get the post. Haden had succeeded Mike Garrett. Swann has been a football broadcaster, served as chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and ran for governor of Pennsylvania in 2006, losing to Ed Rendell. (AP)
When the Nationals revamped their bullpen during the offseason, one of the goals was to get more out of right-hanger Blake Treinen. Last year he was 2-5 with three blown saves in three chances. This year? He’s already 2-0 in four appearances. In the eighth inning Tuesday night against Atlanta, he used his sinking fastball to induce Jeff Francoeur to hit into an inning-ending double play that preserved a 0-0 tie. Treinen got the win when the Nationals scored twice in the bottom of the inning and held on for a 2-1 victory. “Any time you can throw one pitch and get two outs and get out of trouble, that’s a very, very valuable man …,” manager Dusty Baker said. “I’ll tell you, he’s becoming a man.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Maria Schneider hits new heights
JIMMY AND DENA KATZ
MUSIC The Maria Schneider Orchestra’s most recent album, the Grammywinning “The Thompson Fields,” started literally at the top. “There’s this silo on the Thompson farm, very near to where I grew up” in Minnesota, Schneider says. She climbed to the top of it one night several years ago. “We could see for miles across all the houses and roads I’d known as a kid. I could see all these little parts of my life connected into a whole.” The experience gave the album its title and helped her appreciate her roots in a new way. Jazz has always been primarily

urban music, but Schneider has followed in the footsteps of fellow Midwesterners Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden to show it can reflect the rural experience as well. “The past few years, I’ve spent a lot more time out in nature: birdwatching, hiking, kayaking,” she says. “I always [say], ‘Make sure you have a life, because music doesn’t come from music, it comes from life.’ ” A 17-piece band helps, too. With her orchestra, Schneider is able to conjure up big, blustery harmonies as well as gentle, breezy melodies. Schneider, who brings her band
… PROFOUND, MAGNIFICENT, EPIC.” — DC Theatre Scene
to the Library of Congress on Friday as part of a weeklong residency, admits that the economic challenges of keeping such a big ensemble together in the age of free or almost-free music can be daunting. Schneider was one of the first musicians to join ArtistShare, which charges a fee for promotion and allows creators to keep ownership of their work. When the Library of Congress gave Schneider an open-ended commission to write a new piece for Friday’s concert, her anger at YouTube and Google found expression in a new composition called “Data Lords.” She
describes it as “a very dark piece, a commentary on the Big Data companies who cannibalize our economy, our art and our lives. It seemed appropriate for the Library of Congress, which is attached to the Copyright Office.” GEOFFREY HIMES (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Library of Congress, 10 First St. SE; Fri., 8 p.m., pre-concert talk 6:30 p.m., free rush tickets available at door two hours before performance. Schneider will also lead a workshop with Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra and Levine Music Premier Jazz Combo on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Make love, not cliched war scenes DANCE Imagine you’re watching a movie trailer with an epic battle: Advancing armies darken hills, a hero gives a rousing speech, swords clang as scores of men meet a violent and bloody end. If there’s music playing in your head right now, it’s probably “Carmina Burana.” With hushed Latin chanting that blooms into a full-out musical assault, the choral piece has become the de facto soundtrack for cinematic combat. Where many people hear war, Septime Webre, the artistic director of The Washington Ballet, heard love. “When I was thinking about choreographing ‘C armina Burana,’ I had just read Virginia Woolf’s ‘Orlando,’ ” Webre says. The novel, about a young Elizabethan man who becomes a woman and ceases to age, is “a magical story about the eternal search for love, and that’s what ‘Carmina Burana’ began to sound like to me,” he says. Webre’s version of “Carmina Burana,” which had its D.C. premiere at the Kennedy Center in 2000, returned Wednesday. (It’s on a double bill with George Balanchine’s “Theme and Variations.”) A huge production, it features the full ballet company
“To me, the human experience is more about searching for love than fighting for power.” SEPTIME WEBRE, artistic director of The Washington Ballet, on his dance version of “Carmina Burana”
dancing amid three tiers of choristers dressed as monks. In addition to finding inspiration in “Orlando,” Webre took cues from “Carmina Burana’s” lyrics, a series of medieval poems found in a monastery in 1803 and put to music by German composer Carl Orff in the 1930s. “[The poems] turned out to be drinking songs by wayward monks — songs about love and lust and fate and the cycle of life,” Webre says. The influence of “Carmina Burana’s” text on Webre’s choreography is clear from the first movement, known as “O Fortuna.” As the chorus likens fortune to a turning wheel, concentric circles of male and female dancers weave and whirl, tearing off their clothes in what appears to be a frenzy of love or lust. Suspended above the fray is a giant wheel, in which a female dancer stands on point, arms spread. If that sounds familiar, it

should: The wheel is an homage to Leonardo da Vinci’s famous “Vitruvian Man,” Webre explains. Like the book “Orlando,” the ballet covers centuries of human history, with dancers donning Renaissance-era ruffs, closefitting Colonial coats and, eventually, modern clothes. Elsewhere in the ballet, the dancers pair off in passionate embraces, wearing nearly nothing — a costume choice that underscores the music’s erotic overtones. As the clothes come off, we eventually get to the core of what it means to be human, Webre says. “To me, the human experience is more about searching for love than fighting for power,” he says. Besides, choreographing a battle scene to the propulsive piece has been done to death. “You’ve already seen that a thousand times,” he says. “I always want to give people a new experience, something contrary to their expectations.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Carol Burnett needs you!
of Burnett fielding questions from the studio audience of ’70s TV staple “The Carol Burnett Show.” Otherwise, Burnett found, the crowds had a tough time getting started. “It’s all random.

STAGE Before you go see Carol Burnett at Strathmore this weekend, do your homework. It helps her if you’re prepared. “It’s not a one-woman show,” Burnett says. “The audience is my partner, and I’m only as good as my audience is.” “Laughter and Reflection With Carol Burnett” is essentially an extended Q&A session with the comedy icon. There’s no routine or preparation — though each show begins with archival clips
saw you on such and such, and we had a lot of fun,’ ” Burnett says. “Well, that’s not a question. So all I can do is say thank you, and so it kind of leaves me hanging.” The unscripted nature of the evening still gives Burnett the jitters, even though she’s been doing such evenings for more than a decade (not to mention her legendary career before that). “I get butterflies just before I come out,” she says. But those nerves keep her focused. “You can’t be thinking about yesterday or what you’re going to do tomorrow,” she says. “You have to be in the present.”

Celebrating its 30th year, Filmfest DC features mostly international films, though the U.S. is well-represented. The opening night’s film is “The Dressmaker,” starring Kate Winslet as a scandalous seamstress returning to her backwater Australian hometown. Themes include music, comedies, crime thrillers and movies about and from Cuba. There are dozens of director Q&As and panel discussions.

Though this free festival’s home, the Freer Gallery, is closed for renovation, the films keep rolling. This year’s screenings will be held at a handful of alternate sites, and at least one is close to you. That means it’s easy to catch one of the crime films, lush historical pieces, dramas, comedies and documentaries, including “My Love, Don’t Cross That River,” Korea’s highest-grossing independent film of all time.

The anchor of the DC LaborFest — which celebrates working people through music, poetry and other events — the DC Labor Film Fest includes a lot of recent films you meant to catch but didn’t, for whatever reason, including last year’s “Suffragette,” “Trumbo” and “Concussion.” In fact, there are 21 movies — many of them free — that examine the intersection between work, economics, politics and art.

All of the local film festivals have a lot to offer, but this one is the only one with an ’80s party. That happens after the May 25 screening of “Top Gun,” attended by Iceman himself, Val Kilmer. Gary Sinise, a longtime supporter of veterans’ issues, will appear with his Lt. Dan Band in concert at the Howard Theatre. Themes include women in the military, international films and a salute to wounded warriors.

Formerly known as Silverdocs and formerly a little homegrown festival, AFI Docs is now arguably the country’s premier festival when it comes to documentaries. Winners here have gone on to achieve box office and critical success, and the panels often encompass both the art and the business of filmmaking, making AFI Docs an invaluable resource for local documentarians.

One of the area’s youngest festivals (it’s in its fourth year), this event in the Virginia countryside brings in some heavy hitters — attendees often hear Oscar buzz before Oscar voters do. Last year’s top audience prize went to “Spotlight,” which went on to win the best picture Oscar; in fact, every film to take the audience prize here has scored a best picture nom. Clearly these moviegoers have good taste.

Sometimes it’s fun to see a movie before the critics tell you what to think, before the marketing people tell you what to anticipate, before any other viewer has a chance to start doling out stars. That’s what you get at film festivals, and D.C. has more than you might think. None of them are Sundance or Cannes, but that’s the point: Instead of being overloaded by glitz and glamour, these festivals are just about the movies. Which one is right for you?

You may be tempted to drag your bed onto your private balcony at The Forks Inn: The family-run retreat is surrounded by views of the Monongahela Forest, made up of nearly 1 million acres of undulating peaks and valleys. (Don’t even get us started on the fall foliage.) Brothers Trevor and Drew Stalnaker — along with their uncle Eric, the restaurant’s chef — gutted the property in 2012 and rebuilt it by hand, detail by detail. “You can really feel it when you come in here,” Trevor says. “There’s a lot of intricate custom woodwork we’ve done ourselves, and we made the tables, the booths, the chairs.” The food at the restaurant, located on the first floor, complements the rustic surroundings with a French flair. Using ingredients from surrounding farms, chef Stalnaker whips up plates including steak au poivre vert — made with a brandy and green peppercorn sauce — and house-smoked brisket served with homemade BBQ sauce. Eat up, because regardless of the season, you’ll want to head outside and explore. “Wake up, pick a direction, and you can spend the whole day doing something outdoors,” Trevor says. He’s not exaggerating: The inn is within driving distance of four ski resorts and the Canaan Valley, where you’ll find plenty of hiking, rock climbing and water sports at your fingertips. “A number of our guests make return plans before they even leave.”
The grilled ahi tuna with roasted red pepper sauce, top, is one of many fresh dishes served in the Forks Inn dining room in Elkins, W.Va., above.

One of the greatest joys of heading out on a road trip is indulging in greasy fast food along the way. But if you can resist the siren call of McDonald’s and Cracker Barrel en route to one of these dining destinations, we promise you’ll be handsomely rewarded. All three restaurants are situated in the countryside and take advantage of the surrounding agriculture. What results are dishes that reflect the area’s unique bounty — even as they put a few twists on Southern food. On top of that (often literally), each restaurant is attached to a charming inn. So stay hungry on your drive out of D.C. — a fulfilling meal and a good night’s sleep await. HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

Goodstone Inn & Restaurant This sprawling resort in the middle of Virginia horse country is like a summer camp for adults. Set on 265 acres of Virginia countryside, the property includes a working farm (complete with a pig and a sheep-guarding llama), a seasonal swimming pool, more than three miles of hiking trails, woodsy gardens for picnicking or bird-watching and a spa. “You drive up and it’s like you’re in another place,” says Emily Miller, the reservations and revenue manager. “It’s so beautiful and so relaxing and so rejuvenating — you feel so refreshed.” Formerly the site of a mansion that burnt down in 1930 (the only remaining remnant — an ivycovered stone facade — greets you as you enter the grounds), today it houses 18 guest rooms and six guest cottages. Goodstone’s restaurant is helmed by John Leonard, who uses ingredients grown on the property, including

It’s handy that this little town is smack-dab in the middle of the route from Nashville to D.C., because it’s an appropriate stop to accompany a trip to Music City.

Learn more about it at the massive Birthplace of Country Music Museum (520 Birthplace of Country Music Way, Bristol, Va.; 423-573-1927, birthplaceofcountrymusic.org), where in addition to interactive exhibits, you can also hear local musicians perform and record your own country song.

has been a state tradition since the 1930s. According to locals, an Italian baker named Giuseppe “Joseph” Argiro brought these two humble ingredients together into a pocketable, one-handed lunch for miners. You can find these spicy, stick-to-your-ribs treats in any gas station in West Virginia, but if you’re in the northwestern part of the state, head to the place where Argiro made them first: the Country Club Bakery in the sleepy town of Fairmont (1211 Country Club Road; 304-363-5690). Want to extend your stopover by a few hours? Find a few locals and ask whether sticks or slices of pepperoni make for the best roll. That argument should take a while.
BECKLEY, W.VA. Tamarack Get there via Interstate 64
Walking into Tamarack (1 Tamarack Park, Beckley, W.Va.; 304-256-6843, tamarackwv.com) is like stepping right into Etsy’s homepage. For 20 years, this enormous star-shaped structure has housed a year-round crafts fair for some of West Virginia’s finest artisans. “We look for these little pockets in the state where you may not go and find people hiding out making art,” says Norma Acord, Tamarack’s creative coordinator. Tamarack also houses
artist studios, where you can catch the resident glassblower and mixed media artists in action, and a dining area whose dishes incorporate ingredients sold on the retail floor. Acord says plenty of visitors return to Tamarack year after year. “Because we bring in 50-100 new artists each year, the stuff you see this week might not be here by next year.” That’s great incentive to grab as many pieces of handmade jewelry, clothes, furniture and other trinkets as you can cram in your car.
HOT SPRINGS, N.C. Hot Springs Resort and Spa Get there via Interstate 81
Because driving through North Carolina and staring agape at the Appalachian Mountains can be exhausting, take a break in the tiny, TINY (no seriously, the population is 563) town of Hot Springs. Even if you’re not staying the night at the town’s resort and spa (315 Bridge St., Hot Springs, N.C.; 828-622-7676, nchotsprings.com), you’re still welcome to get slathered in seaweed mud, scrubbed with rosemary mint sugar or loaded up with hot rocks. Top it off with a dip in the hot spring’s naturally carbonated waters, and you’ll somehow forget the hours of license plate bingo that await you back in the car. LORI McCUE (EXPRESS)

Many views to a kill A town grapples with murder in ‘Chronicle of a Death Foretold’ KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY FILM RIFFS
Facts of wildlife
SHALEV WEINSTEIN
STAGE There are big clues that someone’s going to bite it in “Chronicle of a Death Foretold.” That title, for one. And a couple of the characters keep telling anyone who’ll listen about their plot to commit murder. If fact, only one character isn’t clued in — and he doesn’t make it to the end of the play. “Chronicle of a Death Foretold,” running through May 8 at Gala Hispanic Theatre, is adapted by Jorge Triana from the early-’80s novella by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The South American town that serves as the play’s setting is populated with characters who collectively tell the story. “I treat the central character as the community itself, [exploring] how a community crafts itself through narrative,” director Jose Zayas says. The novella has so many characters that there was no way to fit them all onstage, so Zayas cast 15 actors to play multiple parts. Loosely based on a true crime from the 1950s, “Chronicle of a Death Foretold” centers on Angela, a woman whose husband rejects her soon after their wedding when he discovers she’s not a virgin. In an effort to restore the family’s honor, her brothers
Sure, everyone’s happy at the wedding in “Chronicle of a Death Foretold.” But then the DJ plays “Celebration.”
“[The play explores] how a community crafts itself through narrative.” JOSE ZAYAS, the director of “Chronicle of a Death Foretold”
seek out and murder the man they believe deflowered her. Marquez’s novella is told from the perspective of an unnamed (and often contradictory) narrator who jumps back and forth in time, interviewing witnesses
and providing personal commentary. For the staged version (presented in Spanish with English translations projected onto screens alongside the stage), the narrator is the community as a whole. With everyone contorting the story for their own purposes, it gets harder and harder for the audience to get to a clear picture of the run-up to the murder. “It’s like being inside of the chorus in a Greek play, where the whole chorus acts as unreliable narrator,” Zayas says. The biggest twist in the story is that no one does anything to stop the killing. Are the townspeople
to blame for letting the murder play out, despite the warnings? “The experience of watching the play is dialectical,” Zayas says. “Marquez is not interested in the culpability of the characters, but rather in the rationalizations people use to get out of sticky moral situations. Nobody believes the brothers. Everyone keeps passing the buck. Then they spend the rest of their lives talking about the event and fighting about what happened.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

‘The First Monday in May’
indies Landmark’s Atlantic Plumbing Cinema, 807 V St. NW; opens Fri., $10-$13. +arties Every spring since 1946, New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art has
gathered pop culture’s biggest names at a fundraiser for its Costume Institute. The annual Met Gala has helped cement fashion’s status as an art form, though fashion hasn’t always been seen that way. Out Friday, “The First Monday in May,” a lush new doc by Andrew Rossi (“Page One: Inside the New York Times,” “Ivory Tower”), sews together three stories: the at-times uneasy relationship between the Met and its fashion branch; the personal journey of the Institute’s head curator, Andrew Bolton; and how all the pieces (and Rihanna) came together under Gala co-chair and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, left, to make last year’s Gala — tied to the Met’s popular exhibit “China: Through the Looking Glass” — the biggest yet. ADAM GRIFFITHS (EXPRESS)
The live-action “The Jungle Book,” out Friday, tries to correct mistakes made by the 1967 Disney animated classic, which featured animals that don’t live in India. (King Louie is no longer an orangutan, for instance.) Movies often distort the truth about cats and dogs and the rest. ‘FINDING NEMO’: Nemo and Marlin were adorable as well as anatomically impossible. Real clownfish have one eye on each side of their head, but that looks weird and is really hard to draw. ‘THE LION KING’: The film’s opening clearly shows leafcutter ants, which do not live in Africa. Remember that the next time you’re attempting to sing along to the music by going “NYAAAAHHHHHHBIGABIGYAAAAH!” (By the way, the line is actually “Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba,” which means “There comes a lion, Father” in Zulu.) ‘MARY POPPINS’: It seems Disney is good for movies and bad for science; the only other explanation is that the American robin that whistles along with the perky British nanny has taken a vacation to London. ‘DR. NO’: In the classic Bond film, 007 is menaced by a tarantula. The thing is, tarantulas are rarely harmful to humans. His health is more threatened by all the martinis and unprotected sex. ‘JAWS’: Great white sharks don’t want to eat you. Of course, they WILL, but they don’t WANT to. Don’t you feel safer?

El Sol’s menu includes the pambazo sandwich, left, and cueritos tacos, right.
The warmth of El Sol Family and hard work are key ingredients at the 11th Street taqueria
DINING The tortillas that wrap around the tinga tacos at El Sol Restaurante & Tequileria are so thin, they border on supermodelemaciated, yet they still have enough strength to contain the brick-red chicken and all the toppings. To achieve this kind of taco harmony, El Sol chef and coowner Alfredo Solis had to find a way to roll his tortillas whisperthin, so their texture and thickness wouldn’t distract from their essential functions: perfuming the snack and allowing the fillings to shine. Through a lot of trial and error, Solis realized he could press his tortillas as thin as crepes if he mixed the masa with hot water, not the usual cool or room-temperature water. “It’s a lot of labor. It takes a lot of time,” Solis says. Just as problematic, the masa degrades faster than organic produce, requiring new dough batches every two to three hours.
Powering El Sol are siblings and co-founders Jessica Solis, left, and chef Alfredo Solis. The food reflects the tastes of their childhood in Mexico City.
That is not standard operating procedure at many taquerias, even those that make their own tortillas but then treat them like hostages, releasing them randomly throughout the day. Then again, El Sol (1227 11th St. NW) is not your standard taqueria. Founded in 2014 by Solis, wife Glenda Torres and sister Jessica Solis on 14th Street NW (and expanded to 11th Street NW last year), El Sol combines the technical obsessiveness of a chef-driven restaurant with the intimate, unadorned charms of a family-run taqueria. El Sol’s kitchen prepares
seviches, mussels, tortas, carnitas, pozole, huaraches, quesadillas and a mole rojo darkened, in part, with Negra Modelo beer. Solis’ story is a classic immigrant tale: He started as a dishwasher in San Diego before coming into his own as a chef in the District, where he faithfully managed kitchens at a diverse array of Passion Food Hospitality restaurants. He was routinely tapped to open Passion Food restaurants, often the valuable utility player trusted with a new prospect. The chef’s decision to go it alone came with a bonus: his
younger sister, Jessica, who also toiled in Passion Food kitchens. Jessica Solis prepares the squeeze-bottle salsas at El Sol, including a salsa verde with serrano-pepper heat. She’s also responsible for the mole rojo, an inky, brooding, four-pepper sauce that clings to the leg and breast meat. The Solis siblings grew up in Mexico City, and their childhood tastes still exert an influence. The most obvious example is the pambazo, a chorizo-andpotato-stuffed torta popular on the streets of their hometown. The sandwich’s selling point is its brief dip in a guajillo salsa, which lends the soft, griddled roll a kind of freshly sunburned appearance. The starchy bite is enhanced with a squeeze of salsa verde and a few slivers of habanero and onions soaked in lime juice. The Solis crew will soon close the 14th Street NW location, an apparent victim of gentrification. The elder Solis, of course, is not content with the situation. He has plans to open Mezcalero Cocina Mexicana, a 72-seat restaurant down the street, in July. TIM CARMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Wheaton’s got a few theories on science The actor/nerd heads to town to preach the value of curious minds
ONSTAGE

APRIL 20 - MAY 8 Lansburgh Theatre 202.547.1122 CSLewisOnStage.com
FESTIVALS Wil Wheaton isn’t here to make science cool. Science is already cool, and vitally important. He’s just here to remind people of that. Wheaton — who made his big debut in “Stand by Me,” made his mark in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and now makes his living both as an actor (he plays an “evil” version of himself on “The Big Bang Theory”) and as a geek-about-town, speaking, blogging and hosting a gaming show on YouTube called “Tabletop” — will be appearing at this weekend’s fourth biennial USA Science and Engineering Festival. The event targets kids with Q-and-As featuring actual scientists, interactive demonstrations of the “don’t try this at home” variety, performances from They Might Be Giants and talks from
other stars in the nerd universe. “The STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] field is really important for people just to grow as humans, as a species, but especially for us, as Americans — [we need] to really think about where we are encouraging our young people to put their time and their energy,” Wheaton says. “It seems more and more, especially with the reality of climate change, science seems to run against the political agenda of a large number of people in Congress. I feel like we’ve got to do something.” Key to that, Wheaton says, is refuting the idea that science is scary, or too difficult. “When you hear people talk about being intimidated by science, that’s because you look at the entire field of science and it is intimidating,” says Wheaton, who will take the stage at noon Sunday for a talk. “But one of the things that’s really great about science — physics and astronomy
and biology and chemistry — is that all of it can be reduced down to very simple concepts that all hold up and all can be understood, from very broad concepts to extraordinarily specific levels of detail.” It’s also a matter of dispelling the myth that science isn’t for everyone, especially when it comes to schools. “Kids get excited about what the kids around them are getting excited about,” Wheaton says. “If a group says, ‘Hey, we’re going to watch the SpaceX launch’ the way my generation watched the shuttle launches, more kids will be excited by that. That leads to a curiosity that isn’t going to take root in everyone, but is going to take root in a lot of people. And we need that.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

It’s been four years since we’ve heard new music from Chairlift, but that doesn’t mean the Brooklyn synth-pop duo hasn’t been busy. Lead singer Caroline Polachek and bandmate Patrick Wimberly collaborated with Beyonce (“No Angel,” a Polachek co-write, wound up on Bey’s 2013 album) and Polachek briefly went solo as Ramona Lisa. Chairlift is back with new album “Moth,” which feels inspired by 1980s dance tracks, the sounds of New York City and contemporaries like Chvrches and Sylvan Esso.

‘Welcome to Night Vale’
Five years ago, upright bassist and jazz vocalist Esperanza Spalding beat out Drake and Justin Bieber for the best new artist Grammy. Pop fans seethed, but the jazz world cheered this thoughtful multi-instrumentalist, who channels her muse Emily on her fifth album, “Emily’s D+Evolution.” On the experimental project, which she says was inspired by surrealist poets, she plays around with elements of funk, rock and pop.
D.C. Jenga’s championship
Think of this podcast as an homage to “A Prairie Home Companion,” only in this small desert town, there are mysterious lights in the night sky, a faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home and a parade for the hooded figures who roam freely. Cecil Baldwin hosts every episode (including this live show at Lincoln Theatre) as the town’s radio announcer — and probably as a human, too, but in this place, nothing’s certain. Lincoln Theatre, 1215 U St. NW; Mon. & Tue., 8 p.m., $32.50.

Start looking for your inner balance now: You’ll need it when you’re up against some of the best block stackers in the city at the first championship hosted by D.C. Jenga.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM DAVID TRONE TO VOTERS IN MARYLAND’S 8TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
“I’m self-funding because it’s the right thing to do. It’s better than taking money from PACs, lobbyists, and other big donors.” – DAVID TRONE
D
ear voters, I announced my campaign determined
to have an extended discussion with you about the issues and ways my background can make a real and positive difference. My goal was to let you know where I stand on things that matter. Unfortunately, the press and the politicians are focused on my decision to fund my own campaign. They act like it’s a bad thing. You may agree, but I hope you’ll read why I made this decision.
We knew this race would be a challenge. I was an unknown running against three candidates who’ve served 56 years in public office and another one who’s been a local media celebrity for almost four decades. And this is one of the most expensive media markets anywhere.
Instead, my wife, children, and I decided I should pay my own way. It’s money I’ve earned growing a business, not from an inheritance, but from one small store to the largest private wine merchant in the country. We’re a family business, and the money is as much theirs as mine.
Television and radio ads could not stand alone in one of the most educated districts in the country. You rightfully expect detailed information about my positions and background. From our website and mailers, you can see that we are committed to allowing you to read for yourself about how I’d address major problems we face.
But success isn’t worth anything if it isn’t shared. That’s the way we live our lives and run our business, and that’s the reason we’ve been enthusiastic contributors to thousands of charities here and around the country. Paying my own way is the right decision.
Having raised millions of dollars for nonprofits, schools, and political candidates, I certainly could have raised enough money to fund a competitive campaign. But the PACs, lobbyists and big dollar donors who give money would expect special attention. No matter how well-intentioned, those contributions and the candidates who take them are part of the reason Washington is broken.
Rather than challenging my business experiences, my issue positions or my proposals, my opponents and the press focus on the money I’m spending to communicate with you. You won’t find stories about my ideas, only how much I’m spending to tell you about them. You’ll read more about it later this week when we report to the Federal Election Commission that I’ve spent $9.1 million to date on my campaign. Campaigns shouldn’t be this expensive. But they are,
especially when you’re a big underdog in an expensive, fragmented media market. The average member of Congress spends 60 percent of his or her time raising money. The system is broken when Representatives spend more time keeping their job than doing the one they were elected to do. We need campaign finance reform. I’ll fight for it for public funding of campaigns, total transparency in political contributions, eliminating dark money, and ending the special interests’ stranglehold. If elected, I’ll continue to pay my own way. And I’ll have 60% more time to listen to you and advocate on your behalf. I’m self-funding because it’s the right thing to do. It’s better than taking money from PACs, lobbyists, and other big donors. It has made me a better candidate, and I believe it will make me a more effective Congressman if you give me the opportunity to serve.
– david trone, democratic candidate for maryland’s th congressional district Paid for and Authorized by David Trone for Congress ... NOT by PACs or Lobbyists!

FILM Warner Bros. confirms it: Ben Affleck will direct and star in a solo Batman film in the near future. Part of the studio’s ambitious plans to expand its DC Comics properties involves giving each member of the Justice League a solo film. Superman kicked it off with 2013’s “Man of Steel.” Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg all have solo films planned. Affleck’s Batman had been the only Justice League member not assured a solo film. And not only is Affleck now a part of those solo film plans, but
he’ll also be in the director’s chair. Although reviews for the current “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” have been mixed, Affleck — who portrays a battlescarred Batman — has received accolades for his performance. Multiple factors seemingly increased the appetite for a new Batman solo film. One being the Easter egg that appears in “Batman v Superman,” in terms of Batman’s past. In that film, we glimpse an empty Robin suit hanging in memoriam in the Batcave. Robin has been killed in this DC cinematic universe. The

murderer? All signs point to the next component that can make a new Batman movie sizzle: Jared Leto’s Joker. And with Zack Snyder having become an even more polarizing director with “Batman v Superman,” a new face behind the camera can’t hurt, either. Affleck has already proved to be a deft director of crime adaptations and political thrillers, so it seems a natural move for the studio to turn to their Bruce Wayne to keep the franchise alive creatively, as well.

Comedy and real life jell in this ‘Barbershop’ The cast of ‘Next Cut’ enjoyed mixing jokes with serious matters FILM “Barbershop: The Next Cut” is being marketed as a comedy. But, like the two previous “Barbershop” movies, “The Next Cut” grapples with some very serious issues, including the epidemic of gang violence in the South Side of Chicago, the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Freddie Gray in Baltimore, and the beginnings of the Black Lives Matter movement. Still, the movie (out Friday) has to be funny. “To be able to hit people with hard information, you can always open it up a little bit with laughter,” says Ice Cube, who returns as barbershop owner Calvin.
“Just like putting sugar in anything, it makes it sweeter — the comedy just makes it easier to take the serious stuff.” Cedric the Entertainer, back as older barber Eddie, sees the way 2002’s “Barbershop” and its two sequels use comedy as part of a tradition of stand-up comedians like himself using humor to both skewer and shed light on serious subjects. “Comedians can get in trouble sometimes for taking things that are serious issues and trying to put comedy on it,” he says. “But that is our job. When you do it in a film with a serious storyline and then you allow those moments of release when the stress of real life can be let go for a minute — that’s how we help solve the issue of doing serious subject matter and making it funny as well.”
The blending of commentary and comedy is part of what brought Regina Hall to the series for the first time, for the role of Calvin’s wife, Angie. “When you know a message is coming, you already take a position towards it,” the D.C. native says. “What’s so great about this movie is its intention isn’t to preach — its intention is to tell a story and, in that story, it presents an issue.” That issue is better communicated when it’s presented in a certain way and, in this case, in a certain place. The film has “a message of empowerment and what we can do collectively to come together and make a change,” Hall says. “I think what works so well is that it’s there to serve the story. It’s not just, ‘Oh, well, here’s the message.’ ”

blog log
“The top sheet is a finicky rascal. If you shake it out, it will usually do some wacky inflatable-tube-man bull---for a second before it falls into an exhausted, messy crumple.” MAGGIE LANGE , at gq.com, rails
against the flaws of flat bedsheets, which prompted plenty of top-sheet commentary — pro and con — on social media. “There’s always going to be a little corner sticking out, like it’s giving you the finger,” she writes, about the perils of making the bed. “You can’t control me, it says, I am chaos.”
“A festival of softball questions and unchallenged answers, this was the family Trump taking us on a televised tour of Trumpland.” CHARLES P. PIERCE , at esquire.com, recaps CNN’s
”Republican Presidential Town Hall” with GOP front-runner Donald Trump and his family, which aired Tuesday. (The network is hosting all three Republican presidential candidates this week with their families: Ohio Gov. John Kasich aired Monday, and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas was scheduled to air Wednesday after Express’ deadline.)
“If you’ve ever dreamed of driving on Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road, all you have to do is buy a Tesla.” LISA EADICICCO, at time.com, details
a new Nintendo-esque hidden feature on Teslas: Activate the autopilot quickly four times, and the gray road on the in-car screen turns into a psychedelic road resembling a notorious level in the “Mario Kart” game. A cowbell — the actual “SNL” cowbell, reports verge.com — plays in the background. Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted out the Easter egg this week, mysteriously including: “And, yes, we are adding more cowbell soon.”
“Got two quarters? Stack them. That’s how thick the Oasis is. It makes an iPhone 6 look porcine. … This is the closest Kindle to paper yet no question.” DAVID PIERCE , at wired.com, on the latest Amazon Kindle reader, the svelte Oasis, which was available for preorder starting Wednesday. “Before you assume anything from the name, no, it’s not waterproof. Yes, that’s dumb,” he writes. The $289 device includes a cover that extends the battery life, reportedly up to months. (Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder, owns Express.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today won’t be marking your first time, exactly, but when all is said and done, it may well prove your best. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone sends you a rather cryptic message when your attention must be put elsewhere. Though you may wonder what it means, don’t be sidetracked.

may feel as though you’ve been put in your place, but in fact you have merely overreacted to someone’s ill-timed but innocent comments.
TODAY: Pretty much a carbon copy of Wednesday, except perhaps slightly warmer. Skies remain mostly sunny and winds stay light, from the east and northeast around 5-10 mph. That allows afternoon highs to reach the 60s. High pressure remains in firm control. That means another night with mostly clear skies and light winds.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your eyes are likely to be opened to certain possibilities that you had never considered. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’d better be ready to say what you mean — and mean what you say — when your opinion is solicited. Don’t beat around the bush.

COLORFUL JEWELS
She’s back at the arcade prize games again
No need to act like we know who he is Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund have ended their relationship after four years, Us Weekly reported. The two were most recently seen together at the 2016 Golden Globes in January. The actors met on the set of their 2012 film “On the Road.” Dunst told Town and Country magazine last summer that their relationship was going “really well,” and revealed to Red U.K. that she was in “baby mode.” (EXPRESS)
Rumors began spreading Tuesday that Lindsay Lohan got engaged to boyfriend Egor Tarabasov after she was photographed wearing a large amethyst-colored stone in a ring on her left hand. Her rep later denied the rumors to People magazine. Tuesday night, however, Lohan was photographed at a Duran Duran concert in New York wearing a different ring, this time with a peridot green stone. Lohan began dating Tarabasov, a Russian business heir, about seven months ago. People reported that Lohan moved into Tarabasov’s London apartment last month. She told U.K. tabloid The Sun in March that the relationship made her “very happy.” (EXPRESS)

Jared Leto, who plays the Joker in the upcoming film “Suicide Squad,” told E! News that he gave his castmates anal beads and used condoms after they finished shooting. “I did a lot of things to create a dynamic, to … break down any kind of walls that may be there,” Leto said. “The Joker is somebody who doesn’t really respect things like personal space or boundaries.” (EXPRESS)
The Duke and Duchess’ tour of India continued Wednesday with a visit to the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation at Kaziranga National Park. As she fed the park’s baby elephants and rhinos, Kate Middleton wore a pink dress with black embroidery that Us Weekly has identified as a design from Topshop. The European fast fashion brand sells the dress for $170, though the item is sold out. (EXPRESS)

Maybe they’ll ‘sign some papers,’ but not like get married or anything Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles are “hanging out,” regularly, E! News reported. The model and the One Direction star sparked dating rumors when they were seen vacationing together over New Year’s, but have since cooled their relationship. A source told the site, “Kendall is not Harry’s girlfriend, but there’s still something there.” (EXPRESS)
