Race champ has local roots BALTIMORE Gwena and Gerry Herman were driving along Interstate 95 when they learned of the win.

The boy who had joined their Baltimore athletic program at 2 years old and who had trained with it through high school had won the men’s wheelchair race at the Boston Marathon. Not only had Daniel Romanchuk taken first place, the 20-year-old had become the youngest person ever and the first American in 26 years to do so.

“Yes, yes, yes,” Gwena Herman posted on her Facebook page. “So so happy for him!!!”

Romanchuk’s 1 hour, 21 minutes and 36 second finish was the culmination of years of training and discipline.

But his win also showed the significance of a phrase he heard often while growing up and training in Maryland: “Teach kids they can before someone tells them they can’t.”

That is the motto of the Bennett Blazers, the adaptive sports program at the Kennedy Krieger

Institute that the Hermans started in 1989. The program, which is a chapter of Disabled Sports USA, has helped hundreds of children with physical disabilities participate, and many times excel, in sports they might not have been able to try otherwise.

Romanchuk’s mother, Kim Romanchuk, credits the sports program with helping her son, who has spina bifida, become the athlete who won the Chicago and New York marathons before Boston.

“They don’t have a real large supply of role models. ...

They love to be able to call him one of our own. He’s part of the Bennett Blazers family.”

GERRY HERMAN, on how Daniel Romanchuk inspires kids in the Bennett Blazers program

“That sports program played a huge role in his development and his outlook on his abilities,” she said.

It allowed him to try different sports and see athletes who came before him create independent lives, she said. He saw them go to college, get jobs, start families — and sometimes compete on professional levels.

Gerry Herman recalled that Daniel showed an early talent and could have pursued several sports.

“When he was 4 years old, he was already swimming at a national level,” he said. “He’s always had that determination to succeed.”

Daniel, who now lives and trains in Illinois, has donated several of his old racing wheelchairs to the program, and already five children have been able to use them. On May 18, Daniel plans to come back to the program and hold a clinic for its current wheelchair racers.

Kim, who was at the finish line when her son crossed it, said that more than anything, what she wants people to see in her son’s victory is “hope in difficult circumstances.” THERESA VARGAS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Academies ban trans cadets Elite military schools to begin implementing administration’s policy WASHINGTONPOST.COM GRIDLOCK

Metro probes uncoupling of two rail cars LINDA DAVIDSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

ANNAPOLIS The elite academies that educate officers for the nation’s armed forces have begun to implement the Trump administration’s ban on transgender service members.

The U.S. Naval Academy will ban people who are transgender from attending the school, beginning with the 2020 school year. The Defense Department confirmed that change to the Capital Gazette newspaper on Monday. The school in Annapolis currently accepts transgender students and retains midshipmen who transition to another gender.

The administration’s new policy took effect last week, stripping transgender troops of rights to serve openly and denying servicemen and women medical coverage for surgical costs.

The Obama administration had lifted restrictions on transgender service members in 2016, allowing them to serve openly and receive gender affirmation surgery.

A current Naval Academy student, Midshipman Regan Kibby, is one of six service members suing the Trump administration over its ban.

The U.S. Coast Guard has also implemented the new policy. It states on its website that the new policy took effect April 12.

Coast Guard Academy spokesman David Santos confirmed in an email Wednesday that

As of the 2020 school year, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis will no longer accept transgender students.

the policy change applies to the school in New London, Conn.

A lengthy explanation on the Coast Guard’s website states that past medical treatment, such as gender-reassignment surgery or hormone therapy, may disqualify future applicants from joining up.

The Trump administration’s new policy also bars future applicants who’ve been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition that can apply to people who identify as another gender and experience distress. Doctors say counseling, hormone therapy or surgery can lessen the anxiety.

There are some exceptions for people who’ve been diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

For instance, someone can join the Coast Guard if their doctor

says they can demonstrate three years of “stability in his/her biological sex immediately before applying to serve.” The Defense Department says transgender people can serve if they remain in their “biological sex.”

The administration’s policy calls for troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria to be medically evaluated before they are discharged to see if they qualify as having a disability. Otherwise gender dysphoria can be considered a “condition that interferes with military service” like sleepwalking, bed-wetting, motion sickness and personality disorders.

The American Medical Association has blasted the administration’s transgender policy for military service. It told The

Associated Press last week that the new policy and its wording mischaracterize transgender people as having a “deficiency.”

The Defense Department said its use of the words “deficiencies” is military lingo for when an individual fails to meet standards to maintain a lethal force. It is not a reference to gender dysphoria, Lt. Col. Carla Gleason said.

An estimated that 14,700 troops identify as transgender. An organization that represents transgender service members said several are attending each academy, although many haven’t come out.

The nation has five service academies. They include the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. (AP)

The D.C. area is facing a dual threat of strong to severe thunderstorms and heavy rain to close the workweek. The risks of flooding and damaging winds are the primary concerns for Friday, but an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.

Va. police sergeant loses job after social media posts referenced white supremacy

Officials from Metro’s newly minted safety oversight board said they are looking into an incident in which two Metrorail cars came apart as they were being moved to a storage track behind the Wiehle-Reston East station late Monday.

In a tweet Tuesday afternoon, the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission said it is actively overseeing an investigation into why the first two cars of the six-car train “uncoupled” — or detached from each other.

Metro officials said that the train was not in service and that no injuries were reported. The train was taken out of service.

The commission, which met for the first time April 8, is also looking into several instances in which trains were misrouted.

In August, a Springfield-bound Blue Line train ended up at the Court House station, on the Orange and Silver lines, after it took the wrong route.

The WMSC is chaired by Christopher Hart, a former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. It was created to take the place of Metro’s previous oversight board, which was largely considered so ineffective at overseeing safety that federal officials took over the responsibility.

It is made up of safety experts appointed by D.C., Maryland and Virginia and has more authority to investigate issues at Metro.

Prominent music teacher faces sex abuse charges A prominent Annandale music teacher has been charged with sexually abusing two former students following an investigation that lasted nearly a year, Fairfax County police said Wednesday.

Battle for speaker intensifies in Md. MARYLAND The contest to succeed Michael E. Busch as Maryland House speaker intensified Wednesday, one day after his funeral, with the lead contender warning of a rift in her party if rivals try to win with support from the chamber’s Republican minority.

Del. Maggie McIntosh, D-Baltimore City, said she is shoring up support among Democratic delegates and thinks she can win a majority of votes in the party’s 98-member caucus, which traditionally delivers the speakership.

But McIntosh said she has heard rumors that the 42-member Republican caucus, which plans to vote as a bloc, could team with Democrats who support Del. Dereck E. Davis, D-Prince George’s, or Speaker Pro Tem

Adrienne A. Jones, D-Baltimore County, both of whom are also actively seeking the job.

Davis won a recent closed-door straw poll of the 45-member Legislative Black Caucus, but the vote was not unanimous. He also has the open backing of Prince George’s County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks, D, and many other politicians from the county.

“We all have to come together in the end and stick together as a caucus,” McIntosh said. “That is not to say that you don’t work with the Republicans. We work with the Republican Party to govern.

But not to choose our speaker.”

The 141-member House of Delegates is expected to elect a successor to Busch in a special legislative session on May 1.

Columbine manhunt ends FBI: Fla. teen obsessed with ’99 shooting dies in apparent suicide LITTLETON, COLO. A Florida teenager who authorities say was obsessed with the Columbine school shooting and may have been planning an attack in Colorado just ahead of the 20th anniversary was found dead Wednesday in an apparent suicide after a nearly 24-hour manhunt.

The body of 18-year-old high schooler Sol Pais was discovered in the mountains outside Denver with what appeared to be a selfinflicted gunshot wound after investigators got a tip from the driver who took her there, the

FBI said.

During the manhunt, Denverarea schools closed as a precaution, with classes and extracurricular activities canceled for a half-million students.

Police and the FBI were tipped off about Pais after the Miami Beach high school student made troubling remarks to others about her “infatuation” with the 1999 bloodbath at Columbine High and this weekend’s anniversary of the 13 killings, said Dean Phillips, FBI agent in charge in Denver. He did not elaborate on what she said.

Pais purchased three oneway tickets to Denver on three consecutive days, then flew in Monday night and went directly to a gun store, where she bought a

shotgun, authorities said.

“We’re used to threats, frankly, at Columbine,” John McDonald, Pais security chief for Jefferson County school system, said when the manhunt was over.

“This one felt different. It was different. It certainly had our attention.”

Pais’ parents had reported her missing Monday night, police said.

Authorities said she did not threaten a specific school. But Columbine and more than 20 other schools outside Denver reacted by locking their doors for nearly three hours Tuesday afternoon, and some canceled

Pais’ body was found off a trail not far from the base of Mount Evans, a recreation area about 60 miles southwest of Denver, authorities said. She used the weapon she bought, Phillips said.

Sheriff Jeff Shrader said the sale of the shotgun apparently followed the state’s legal process. Out-of-state residents who are at least 18 can buy shotguns in Colorado. Customers must provide fingerprints and pass a criminal background check.

Bust hits ‘drug dealer’ MDs HEALTH Dozens of medical professionals in five states were charged Wednesday with participating in the illegal prescribing of more than 32 million pain pills, including doctors who prosecutors said traded sex for prescriptions and a dentist who unnecessarily pulled teeth from patients to justify giving them opioids.

The 60 people indicted include 31 doctors, seven pharmacists, eight nurse practitioners and seven other licensed medical professionals. The charges involve more than 350,000 illegal prescriptions written in Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama and West Virginia, according to indictments unsealed in federal court in Cincinnati.

“That is the equivalent of one opioid dose for every man, woman and child in the five states in the region that we’ve been targeting,” Brian Benczkowski, an assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department’s criminal division, said in an interview. “If these medical professionals behave like drug dealers, you can rest assured that the Justice Department is going to treat them like drug dealers.”

The charges include unlawful distribution or dispensing of controlled substances by a medical professional and healthcare fraud. Each count carries

Doctors in 5 states are charged with illegally prescribing opioids

Assistant U.S. Attorney General for the Criminal Division Brian Benczkowski, center, said Wednesday that about 60 medical professionals had been charged with illegally prescribing more than 32 million opioid pain pills.

a maximum 20-year prison sentence, and many defendants face multiple counts. One doctor in Tennessee is charged in connection with an overdose death caused by opioids, officials said.

The indictments are part of a broader effort by the Justice Department to combat the nation’s prescription pain pill epidemic, which claimed the lives of nearly 218,000 Americans between 1999 and 2017, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Benczkowski said he created the Appalachian Regional Prescription Opioid Strike Force late last year to target the region, which has been devastated by the epidemic. The department

“If these medical professionals behave like drug dealers, you can rest assured that the Justice Department is going to treat them like drug dealers.”

BRIAN BENCZKOWSKI, an assistant U.S. attorney general, on those indicted for unlawful distribution

analyzed several databases to identify suspicious prescribing activity and sent 14 prosecutors to 11 federal districts there.

Once they had the data indicating suspicious prescriptions, investigators used confidential informants and undercover agents to infiltrate medical offices.

In one case, a doctor operated a pharmacy in his office, just outside the exam room, where patients could fill their prescriptions for opioids immediately, according to the Justice Department. In another, prosecutors said, patients consented to having their teeth pulled so they could obtain opioid prescriptions from a dentist and then paid in cash.

In a number of cases, according to the indictments, doctors across the region traded prescriptions for oxycodone and hydrocodone for sexual favors.

In Dayton, Ohio, a doctor who authorities say was the state’s highest prescriber of controlled substances, along with several pharmacists, was charged with operating a “pill mill.” Prosecutors say that the health-care professionals dispensed more than 1.7 million pills between October 2015 and October 2017.

Prosecutors allege that a doctor in Kentucky prescribed pain killers to his Facebook friends, who would come to his home to pick up their prescriptions in exchange for cash.

The arrests could leave thousands of addicts and legitimate pain patients without access to their doctors and health care professionals. Federal and local public health officials say they are working together to “ensure continuity of care.” SARI HORWITZ AND SCOTT HIGHAM (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Bolton unveils new measures against Cuba NATIONAL SECURITY The Trump administration is reimposing limits on the amount of money Cuban Americans can send to relatives on the island and ordering new restrictions on U.S. citizen, nonfamily travel to Cuba, national security adviser John Bolton said Wednesday.

The new measures follow an announcement by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the administration will lift restraints that have prevented lawsuits from U.S. citizens seeking compensation for property expropriated by the Cuban revolutionary government that seized power six decades ago.

The actions are the latest in President Trump’s efforts to roll back the Obama administration’s openings to Havana, and to punish Cuba for its support of the Venezuelan government of President Nicolas Maduro.

Bolton also announced new sanctions against Venezuela and Nicaragua that will bar parts of their banking systems from U.S. dollar transactions.

Trump, with the support of most Latin American countries, has recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate interim president and charged that tens of thousands of Cuban military and intelligence agents are enabling Maduro to stay in power. New sanctions against Venezuela’s Central Bank, Bolton said, should be a “strong warning to all external actors, including Russia.” KAREN DEYOUNG (TWP)

A brain breakthrough?

SCIENCE Scientists restored some activity within the brains of pigs that had been slaughtered hours before, raising hopes for some medical advances and questions about the definition of death.

The brains could not think or sense anything, researchers stressed. By medical standards, “this is not a living brain,” said Nenad Sestan of the Yale School of Medicine, one of the researchers reporting the results Wednesday in the journal Nature.

But the work revealed a surprising degree of resilience among cells within a brain that has lost its supply of blood and oxygen, he said.

“Cell death in the brain occurs across a longer time window than we previously thought,” Sestan said.

Such research might lead to new therapies for stroke and other conditions, as well as provide a new way to study the brain and how drugs work in it, researchers said. They said they had no current plans to try their technique on human brains.

The study was financed mostly by the National Institutes of Health.

The 32 brains came from pigs killed for food at a local slaughterhouse. Scientists put the brains into an apparatus in their lab.

Four hours after the animals died, scientists began pumping a specially designed blood substitute through the organs.

The brains showed no largescale electrical activity that would indicate awareness. Restoring consciousness was not a goal of the study, which was aimed instead at exploring whether particular functions might be restored long after death.

After six hours of pumping, scientists found that individual

consensus about doing such research if the brain is conscious, he said.

Researchers are now seeing if they can keep the brain functions they observed going for longer than six hours of treatment, which Latham said would be necessary to use the technology as a research tool.

Christof Koch, president of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, who didn’t participate in the study, said he was surprised by the results, especially since they were achieved in a large animal.

“This sort of technology could help increase our knowledge to bring people back to the land of the living” after a drug overdose or other catastrophic event that deprived the brain of oxygen for an hour or two, he said. Unlike the pig experiments, any such treatment would not involve removing the brain from the body.

NATIONAL SECURITY Attorney General William Barr will hold a news conference today at 9:30 a.m. to discuss special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report, adding a must-see-TV event to the day he will release the long-awaited document.

President Trump revealed the plan during a radio appearance, and a Justice Department spokeswoman later confirmed it. It was not immediately clear whether the news conference would occur before or after the report’s release.

Since the special counsel’s office closed its investigation last month, Barr and his team have been reviewing the nearly 400-page final report to determine how much of it can be made public.

The Justice Department has said it plans to release the document today, with four categories of information shielded from public view: material from the grand jury, material that reveals intelligence sources and methods, material that is relevant to ongoing investigations, and material that could affect the privacy of “peripheral” third parties.

Such redactions could be controversial, and Democrats have said they won’t be satisfied unless they are given the entire, unfiltered document. It is likely House Democrats will attempt to subpoena it, sparking a legal battle that could last for months or even years. MATT ZAPOTOSKY AND DEVLIN

These images show stained microscope photos of neurons (green), astrocytes (red) and cell nuclei (blue) from a pig brain untreated for 10 hours after death, left, and one with a specially designed blood substitute pumped through it.

brain cells in one area of the brain had maintained key details of their structure, while cells from untreated brains had severely degraded. When scientists removed these neurons from treated brains and stimulated them electrically, the cells responded in a way that indicated viability. And by studying the artificial blood before it entered the treated brains and after it emerged, researchers found evidence that brain cells were absorbing blood sugar and oxygen and producing carbon dioxide, a signal that they were functioning.

They also found that blood vessels in treated brains responded to a drug that makes vessels widen.

Sestan said researchers don’t know whether they could restore normal whole brain function if they chose that goal. If such consciousness had appeared in the reported experiments, scientists would have used anesthesia

The ethical dilemma This experiment on pig brains enters an ethical minefield, said Christof Koch, president of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, who didn’t participate in the study. For one, it touches on the widely used definition of death as the irreversible loss of brain function, because irreversibility “depends on the state of the technology; and as this study shows, this is constantly advancing.”

And somebody might well try this with a human brain someday, he said.

If future experiments restored the large-scale electrical activity, would that indicate consciousness? Would the brain “experience confusion, delusion, pain or agony?” he asked.

That would be unacceptable even in an animal brain, he said. (AP)

Ex-Peru leader kills himself Garcia dies at his home moments after police arrive to arrest him LIMA, PERU Former Peruvian President Alan Garcia shot himself in the head and died Wednesday just moments after police arrived at his home to arrest him on corruption allegations in Latin America’s largest graft probe.

President Martin Vizcarra announced the death on Twitter, saying that doctors in the capital city of Lima performed emergency surgery and tried three times to resuscitate Garcia.

It was a shocking end for a man who twice ruled Peru before becoming ensnared more recently in the corruption scandal involving the construction

“Minutes later, the sound of gunfire was heard,” Moran said.

“Police forced their way into the room and found him.”

Prosecutors suspect the former president received more than $100,000 from Odebrecht, disguised as a payment to speak at a conference in Brazil.

Garcia repeatedly professed his innocence and said he was the victim of false testimony by political enemies.

France debates how to rebuild PARIS Only two days after a devastating fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, France on Wednesday launched into a contentious debate over how to restore one of the world’s most treasured architectural wonders.

At issue is whether the French government should seek to recreate the famed cathedral as it was, sticking as close as possible to the 850-year-old structure’s pre-fire style and substance.

Before Wednesday, many preservationists had assumed that it would. But Prime Minister Edouard Philippe upended expectations with an announcement of an international competition to replace the iconic spire that collapsed in Monday’s inferno.

He questioned whether “we should re-create” the spire as it was or, “as is often the case in the evolution of heritage, we should endow Notre Dame with a new spire.”

Those words were heresy to many traditionalists.

“The spire is a masterpiece. It must be rebuilt as it was,” said Benjamin Mouton, Notre Dame’s

HISTORIC SWEEP

Braden Holtby and the Capitals need to set the tone early tonight to quiet the crowd in Raleigh.

CAPITALS AT HURRICANES | GAME 4: 7 TONIGHT, NBCSWA

Caps could correct course

With the five-time Stanley Cup champion Penguins and Presidents’ Trophy-winning Lightning getting swept in the first round, the path to a second straight Stanley Cup has opened up for the Capitals, who are now heavy favorites to win the Eastern Conference.

But they are also coming off one of their worst games of the season and can’t overlook a Hurricanes team that just beat them 5-0 in Game 3. Here’s what needs to change for the Capitals to live up to those championship expectations. BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS)

Rustle up some secondary scoring

Take advantage of banged-up Canes

Win the battle of special teams

Handle Carolina’s ruthless forecheck

Weather the storm to come out flying

Lars Eller, Devante Smith-Pelly and Andre Burakovsky were among the unsung heroes last spring as the Capitals received a tremendous boost from their bottomsix forwards. Washington is still waiting for that boost this spring. Through three games against Carolina, Eller has been limited to one empty-net goal, while Burakovsky, Brett Connolly, Carl Hagelin and Jakub Vrana are all still seeking their first playoff points. “You go a couple of games without scoring, you want to stop the bleeding as much as you can,” said Connolly, one of Washington’s seven 20-goal scorers in the regular season.

The Hurricanes’ depth will be tested in Game 4, as they’ll be without forwards Andrei Svechnikov and Micheal Ferland. Both are out with upper-body injuries. Svechnikov ranked second on Carolina with 20 even-strength goals during the regular season while Ferland was their fourth-leading scorer overall. With Svechnikov and Ferland out, rookie Saku Maenalanen and journeyman Patrick Brown will draw into the lineup.

Brown last played an NHL game in 2017. While the Capitals’ bottom six have been quiet, Carolina’s injuries may create some favorable matchups for Washington lower down the depth chart.

The Capitals’ power play scored twice in the first period of Game 1, but hasn’t converted since.

Now Washington’s PP enters Game 4 looking to snap an 0-for-10 drought that has covered an even 20 minutes. Carolina has been aggressive on the penalty kill, pressuring Washington’s puck carriers into quick decisions. The Hurricanes scored two power-play goals in Game 3 and have converted three of their past six opportunities.

“When you lose the special teams battle in two of the three games,” said Capitals coach Todd Reirden, “it’s not a recipe for success.”

Before the series began, Capitals goalie Braden Holtby described the Hurricanes as an “annoying” team, given their relentlessness on the forecheck. The Hurricanes were at their best in Game 3, buzzing around the offensive zone, building on their sustained pressure and keeping the Caps from cleanly breaking out of their own end. The Hurricanes are such a handful on the forecheck in part because their defensemen actively pitch in. If the Capitals can successfully break out of their own zone, there could be an odd-man rush up ice. To do that, though, Washington will need more support from its forwards.

PNC Arena was raucous in Game 3 with Carolina hosting its first postseason contest since 2009. The Hurricanes fed off the energy, which was only fueled by an early lead.

The team that has scored first has won each of the three games so far in this series. Capitals winger and two-time Cup champion Carl Hagelin said before the series that Washington has the ability to set the tone, even after a bad loss.

Doing so in Game 4 would be optimal. “You’ve got to use your experience to come out flying the next game,” he said. “It reminds them, ‘Oh, these are the champs. They know what it takes …’ It can create doubt in the opposition.”

Lightning follow trend to early exit Just eight of the 33 Presidents’ Trophy winners have gone on to win the Stanley Cup. The playoffs have long been about who’s playing well at the right time. Now Tampa Bay’s historic playoff exit — as the first trophy winners to be swept in Round 1 — could change how clubs see the regular season.

“When you have the amount of points we had, it’s a blessing and a curse,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper, below, said after the loss to Columbus. “You don’t play any really meaningful hockey for a long time, then all of a sudden you’ve got to amp it up. It’s not an excuse. It’s reality.

That’s how it goes, and so you have a historic regular season the way we did and then had basically a historic playoff in defeat.” (TWP)

First round likely to see a parade of pass rushers

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

GETTY IMAGES

After offensive season, defense will be focus of teams early in draft NFL DRAFT For the NFL, 2018 was all about revved-up offenses. Defenses get their chance to catch up, at least a little bit, on draft night.

The speculation during the buildup to the 2019 draft has focused, as is the case in most years, on the quarterbacks. Will Kyler Murray, the dynamic but undersized Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma, go first overall to the Cardinals?

Where will Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins, Missouri’s Drew Lock and Duke’s Daniel Jones land?

But even if the Cardinals do select Murray with the No. 1 choice, the opening round is likely to progress from there into a parade of defensive players walking across the draftnight stage. The expectation is that close to two-thirds of the first-round picks will be used on defensive players, with pass rushers expected to come off the board early and often and defensive tackles trailing close behind.

Asked at the NFL scouting combine to assess the strengths of this draft, Browns general manager John Dorsey said: “It’s defensive line. I mean, we all know that. … I think that overall this draft class is a pretty good draft class. I think the defensive line really helps it.”

Two likely top-five picks — Ohio State defensive lineman Nick Bosa, left, and Kentucky linebacker Josh Allen — work out at the combine last month.

The off-the-edge pass rushers are the stars of this defensive draft class. Ohio State’s Nick Bosa and Kentucky’s Josh Allen are regarded as likely top-five selections. Other potential firstrounders include Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat, Michigan’s Rashan Gary, Florida State’s Brian Burns and Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell.

“I think there’s more defensive linemen than normal,” said Charley Casserly, the former general manager of the Redskins and Texans. “You don’t normally see this. The front defensive guys, the pass rushers, there’s more of them.”

Outside pass rushers, whether they’re placed at outside linebacker in a three-linemen,

four-linebacker scheme or at defensive end in a 4-3 setup, have become ever more valuable as passing numbers have increased and rules have evolved. With defensive backs limited by prohibitions against clutching-andgrabbing tactics in the secondary and mindful of the safety-related officiating emphasis on illegal hits on receivers, defensive tacticians often have come to the conclusion that getting to the quarterback is about the only effective way to defend the pass in today’s NFL. The defensive tackles in this draft also are highly regarded.

Alabama’s Quinnen Williams and Houston’s Ed Oliver could join Bosa and Allen as top-five choices. MARK MASKE (WASHINGTON POST)

If D.C. had a Queen of Cannabis, the throne might belong to Brookland’s Caroline Phillips, the founder of the National Cannabis Festival. Phillips, a native Washingtonian who runs events company The High Street, started the festival in 2016, after D.C. voters legalized marijuana for recreational use (but not sales). This year’s festival appropriately falls on April 20 and features music from Ludacris and Action Bronson (RFK Festival Grounds; Sat., noon-8 p.m., $55). Because this is D.C., the festival will also host a policy summit Friday at The Newseum.

“It’s great to see the D.C. area become a destination for people interested in cannabis recreationally but also cannabis policy,” says Phillips, 38. Recreational marijuana sales would officially be legal on her dream day, and, since the festival itself was once just a pipe dream, her itinerary would lead there.

I would meet up with Brau Runners — that’s my running team. We do a lot of Ragnar relays along with charity races. We always start at a bar and end at a bar, so we’d start at Brookland’s Finest. Our run would take us down Rhode Island Avenue NE. There’s a pretty gnarly hill there, but once you get to the top, you

feel really good about yourself.

We’d hang right on Florida Avenue NW and stop and idle in front of the MetroPCS store to soak in some D.C. go-go music.

We would head back to Brookland’s Finest, my favorite place for brunch. They always have a special waffle that has some kind of fruit compote

I like Congressional Cemetery for a good dog walk. There’s this bench on top of the hill.

Underneath it there’s this little compartment and there’s a notebook inside. Everybody can open it up and leave a message.

Whenever I go there, I sit down for a bit and just read through the different stories. I’m pretty sure I left a note in there around 2015 when I started thinking about the festival.

We’re heading over to the festival grounds. Everything is just happening: Wonderful festival fairies are dropping everything into position. To get there, we’re going to pass the D.C. Central Detention Facility. This is a weird part of my dream day, but I do think it’s important for people to understand that there are people in jail for trying to pay their bills with weed, while there are now states that are paying their bills with weed money. I would take a moment to really think about the people who have been jailed for drug offenses.

At the festival, the first stop is the advocacy village. We’d probably fan out from there and, finally, all gather together in front of the stage for Ludacris.

The OSYX’s boom time MUSIC The members of the all-female D.C. rock band The OSYX were just keeping things casual, coming together last year to share musical ideas and gig here and there but still playing with their various other groups in the meantime. Then things got serious.

After The OSYX’s first few local shows went over big, the band’s members — Erin Frisby, Maya Renfro, Selena Benally, Robzie Trulove and Ara Casey — decided to get to work on a fulllength record to showcase their original, guitar-driven songs.

Once they began mapping out their debut, the members realized their reach could go beyond an album.

“We started talking about some of the gender bias issues we’ve

encountered, and that people we knew encountered, in music,” says Frisby, the band’s lead vocalist. “We thought that we could use the excitement behind what we’re doing to propel us into something a little bit bigger.”

Their conversations led them to start This Could Go Boom!, a nonprofit record label advocating gender-diverse artists.

“We want to promote people who are gender-marginalized, specifically those who identify as female, fem, nonbinary, intersex and trans,” Frisby says.

The OSYX launched an Indiegogo campaign for This Could Go Boom! last fall and raised over $13,000. The local label, which is the beneficiary of the Womxn F--- S--- Up DC festival at Union Stage on Saturday, plans to put out four or so releases a year

from acts that are rarely offered a platform in mainstream music.

That output might seem small in comparison with other labels’ schedules, but Frisby says it’s about quality, not quantity.

“We want to be careful that we’re developing the best release plan for each artist — we’re not going to create a cookie-cutter plan for everyone,” she says.

“The whole point is to include voices that have been shut out

of traditional avenues.”

The OSYX’s debut album will be This Could Go Boom!’s first release (a drop date is still in the works). Aside from the label’s women-focused showcases (which take place on the second Saturday of each month at Dew Drop Inn), there’s another side to its mission that Frisby says is just as important as the performers. The larger conversation of diversifying music rarely

includes the movers and shakers behind the scenes — sound engineers, music managers and the like — something Frisby hopes the label can address through its workshops and mentorship program geared toward women in non-performance music roles.

“Performance opportunities are important, and visibility is important, but we want to branch out to other aspects of making music and documenting music,” she says.

The label will make this happen, in part, with proceeds from Saturday’s festival, where over 30 women-led acts from the D.C. area and beyond will take the stage (including The OSYX). The event spotlights a wide swath of music, including the soulful sounds of Black Folks Don’t Swim?, DJ Uni, the rollicking tunes of Honey and funky stylings of Eliza and the Organix.

“There’s never been a time where women and nonbinary voices weren’t relevant,” Frisby says. “It’s just that people might have not been as willing or excited to hear those voices in the past compared to now.”

Monumental menagerie Architecturally speaking, it is, in fact, a zoo out there. “Animals are ornaments on buildings all around us, often hidden in plain sight,” says Caitlin Bristol, the curator of “Animals, Collected” at the National Building Museum. The exhibit, which opens Saturday, showcases more than 125 objects from the museum’s permanent collection — drawings, models, photographs, building materials, catalog ads — that represent dozens of different species of animals. “It’s designed like a cabinet of curiosities,” Bristol says of the show. “It’s an opportunity to delve into the symbolism and why these animals were chosen to embellish buildings and monuments.” Here, Bristol describes five of the objects.

Weather vane sheep

In 1883, Massachusetts-based L.W. Cushing and Sons’ weather vane catalog offered a variety of designs: stallions, roosters, pigs, grasshoppers and, as seen here, sheep. The company specialized in copper and gold leaf weather vanes that could be ordered in a variety of sizes depending on the building where they’d be placed. “They ranged from $5 to $200, which would have been a lot in 1883,” Bristol says, adding that patriotic designs, such as eagles and Lady Liberty, were particularly popular at the time. “We don’t ever think about having a catalog of architectural decorations anymore, but this was a way you could customize your own house or business in a small way.”

Owl sculpture It must have been a real hoot the day four 12-foot-tall owl sculptures were affixed to the corners of Chicago’s Harold Washington Public Library. The owls were designed in the 1990s by artist Raymond Kaskey and based on a 4-foot maquette — or preliminary model — that’s on display in the exhibit.

One of the owls, which continue to hover above downtown Chicago streets, clutches a handful of documents, while another peruses an open book.

“Owls, since the time of the ancient Greeks, have been a symbol of wisdom and knowledge,” Bristol says. “It makes perfect sense to have them on a library.” Kaskey, who’s based in Brentwood, Md., is known for his works inspired by animals, classical mythology and allegory. He sculpted the bronze lions at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, as well as the eagles that fly under the arches at the National World War II Memorial.

Sea animal sculpture Donald Miller’s sea animal sculpture was supposed to become a gate at the National Cathedral — an eye-catching way to celebrate “the creation of the world and diversity of animals,” Bristol says. But it never progressed past the model phase. Miller carved it in plaster in the 1970s, but it proved too expensive for the cathedral to cast in bronze. “They loved it, but it didn’t work out,” Bristol says. The exhibit includes a photograph of Miller’s model, which is one of several objects featured in the exhibit that never came to fruition, including unsuccessful competition entries. “That process of choosing the design of what’s going to go on your building — there are multiple entries” and not all can prevail, Bristol says. “It’s fun to see what could have been.”

Circus dog drawing We think of a “dog and pony show” as an over-the-top presentation — but in the late 1800s, the phrase was literal for the Gentry brothers of Bloomington, Ind., who ran a circus that featured 40 ponies and 80 dogs.

The act, which became the largest traveling circus in the country, was a source of great pride for the brothers’ hometown. When the Henry B. Gentry Building was erected in Bloomington — named for the mastermind behind the show, who went on to invest in local real estate — it paid homage to the circus via plaques designed by the Chicago-based Northwestern Terra Cotta Co. (The building burned down in the ’20s.) A 1907 workshop drawing of one such panel, featuring two fancy dogs, will be on display in the exhibit. “That was a really fun discovery — like, why are these dogs in top hats?” Bristol says. “It’s an example of how this architectural ornamentation had a very personal, direct relationship to the client.”

Gargoyle wrapping paper The octagonal, Hobbit-like dwelling that now houses Open City at the National Cathedral was formerly used as a gift shop run by All Hallows Guild, a women’s volunteer group, until 2015. There, visitors were likely to spot pen-and-ink sketches of the cathedral by guild board member Babs Gaillard, whose drawings appeared in materials like tour maps and newsletters — and on gargoyle wrapping paper that was sold in the early 1980s. The wrapping paper featured six different gargoyles that exist as sculptures on the cathedral. “There’s a dragon — she called it a ‘happy face monster,’ but I think it looks like a dragon,” Bristol says. “And there’s an owl wearing a graduation cap and holding a diploma, a horned fish, a frog, the Greek god Pan holding a flute and a master carver gargoyle. I can’t imagine actually using it, but it’s a really cool wrapping paper.”

THE TOPS IN TACOS

The D.C. area has so many good taco shops that the task of ranking them proved to be the single hardest list Washington Post food writer Tim Carman has ever compiled. Here’s what happened when the salsa settled.

Taqueria Cancun

7810 Lee Highway, Falls Church

The tortillas here are not made in-house, but they come off the griddle warm and slightly crispy from a light application of oil.

The shop specializes in off-cuts, including beef head, intestines and tongue. The cabeza, or beef head, is the star, a rich, shredded mixture that benefits from a drizzle of green salsa, a house condiment that looks timid but has serious bite. Taqueria Cancun feels like the closest thing Washingtonians have to a real Mexican taco stand, in both atmosphere and eats.

Taco City D.C.

A highlight of this four-taco plate at Taqueria Tres Reyes is the mixto (pork skin, belly and fried pork).

DAYNA SMITH (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

1102 Eighth St. SE

Tucked into a tiny storefront in Navy Yard, Taco City D.C. is a joint project from Juan Jimenez and Francisco Ferrufino, a pair of Washington hospitality veterans who ventured out on their own last year. Their tacos, each swaddled in a griddled house-made tortilla, lean on tradition while also catering to palates not raised on beef tongue.

The carnitas taco, a juicy pile of pork, is garnished with fried pork rinds for a nice, gnarly crunch. The Brussels sprouts taco features little charred cabbages, and the whole thing’s smothered in creamy avocado salsa. It’s messy. It’s delicious.

8

Taco Bamba

Multiple locations in Virginia and D.C.

No taqueria takes as many chances as Taco Bamba, the small chain

owned by Victor Albisu, a chef with exceptional fine-dining chops.

Albisu and his main accomplice, chef Tom Hall, push the outer limits of taco invention. If classic Mexican tacos embrace minimalism, Taco Bamba prefers complexity with its tacos nuestros, which vary by location. You’ll find tacos packed with kung pao shrimp, shishito peppers and miso-agave rice (the Drunken Master, a nod to the Chinatown Bamba) or braised pork belly, chicken liver pâté and pickled radish (the Banh-Mijo, unique to the Vienna shop). These innovations would rate higher if they weren’t wrapped by a pair of thick tortillas, which too often gum up the deliciousness inside them, throwing off the taco’s balance.

7

Ixtapalapa Taqueria

411 N. Frederick Ave., Gaithersburg, Md.

Last year, the owners behind the Taco Bar, a beloved counter inside a Gaithersburg gas station, opened the more expansive Ixtapalapa Taqueria a few miles away. The new place is named after the owners’ home turf outside Mexico City, a crowded suburb that rarely gets good press. It can get crowded in Jose and Mayte Valdivia’s taqueria, too, as diners line up at the counter to place orders. First among equals is chef Mayte’s cochinita pibil taco, a sweet, piquant and slightly acidic pork preparation originating from the Yucatan. Spike it with the kitchen’s nearly flammable red salsa and you have one of the best tacos in the region.

DEB LINDSEY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST).

In recent years, the tiny takeout inside the Shell station at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Waterloo Road in Howard County has been as combustible as the fuel at the pumps. At least three taquerias have occupied this real estate, yet the one constant amid all the fluctuation has been chef Jose Flores. He’s now the owner of Callejero’s Tacos, which currently resides in the sliver of space inside the station. He’s a traditionalist at heart: soft, fresh tortillas. Classic fillings, such as barbacoa lamb, cochinita pibil and Mexican chorizo.

Take-no-prisoner salsas, both red and green. You’ll wait for your tacos here, but they’ll be worth it.

Taqueria La Placita’s meaty menu includes sausage, carnitas and beef tacos.

El Sol was the first brick-and-mortar restaurant from chefs and siblings Alfredo and Jessica Solis, a pair of Mexico City natives who pamper their dishes. Take the tortillas; the chefs have perfected a technique to press masa into rounds as thin as crepes. The tortillas allow the fillings to take center stage, as they should, while perfuming the snack with the ephemeral scent of corn. A go-to taco is the nopales, in which cactus paddle strips lounge in a tortilla with fresh cheese and diced onions and

DEB LINDSEY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

The epicurean taco, I’d argue, is still a relatively modern invention, designed to satisfy the ambitions of the chef and the palates of fussy diners who may not dig on pork skin. No one does fancy tacos better than Espita, starting with the masa program headed by Yesenia Neri Diaz, who works with four varietals of corn to prepare the multicolored tortillas. From there, chef Robert Aikens stuffs the rounds with fillings that do not stray far from the traditions on which they lean.

The tacos come already sauced, which may frustrate those who like to customize theirs. But one bite of the chorizo, pressed into a bluecorn tortilla with a vibrant splash of salsa verde, and you won’t mind surrendering a little control.

cebollitas, these slightly browned spring onions whose wilted tops will snake across your tacos. You’ll want to take a minute to appreciate this edible artwork before making it disappear.

Taqueria La Placita

5020 Edmonston Road, Hyattsville, Md.

On the weekends, the line at Taqueria La Placita snakes out the door and onto the covered sidewalk, where a mariachi band diorama stands on the roof, serenading you with the sounds of silence. This nose-to-tail taqueria leaves no part of the animal unused. It serves tortillas packed with beef head, pork cheeks, pork skin, beef tongue, intestines, pig ears and even pork lips. La Placita

also serves a traditional al pastor, with succulent sections of pork sliced right off the skewer. There’s a reason owner Javier Martinez’s taqueria serves hundreds and hundreds of hungry customers every weekend.

No other taco plate approaches the beauty of the one at this taqueria.

Your selections will be artfully arranged on an oval dish, the tortillas flat, not folded, so you can better inspect the fillings. The plate will be garnished with wedges of lime, thick slices of fresh cucumber and radish and even a pair of

Taqueria Habanero

8145 Baltimore Ave., College Park, Md.

Back in the kitchen at Taqueria Habanero, an employee is dedicated to nothing but tortillas. She stands next to a mound of masa, squeezing off small chunks to roll and gently press into thin, lovely rounds, which

she’ll flip onto a griddle to pick up some heat and color. These tortillas, as important as bread is to a good sandwich, are the foundation for the best tacos in the Washington area. Even more than at their original spot, on 14th Street NW, chef-owners Dio Montero and Mirna Montero-Alvarado mix tradition with innovation at their new College Park restaurant, turning out tacos stuffed with fillings from land and sea, including carnitas and octopus.

If you’re lucky, the grasshopper tacos will be available as a special, offering the best evidence yet that toasted insects, in the right hands, make for terrific fillings.

Maboud Ebrahimzadeh, seen here in “The Book of Will,” is a Round House regular.

After a long trek, he found his truth Life’s plot twists led Maboud Ebrahimzadeh to the theater STAGE Maboud Ebrahimzadeh was on a California-bound road trip a decade ago, traversing the Rocky Mountains, when those snowcapped peaks triggered what he describes as a “mini-breakdown.”

He thought about how he was just 9 months old when, in the midst of the Iran-Iraq War, his parents fled Iran on horseback in the dead of the night. Over four days, the 20-something couple and their child managed a perilous trek through the frigid Zagros Mountains, eventually crossing the border into Turkey.

“Where my parents were on horseback going through the mountains, I was in a car in air conditioning going through the mountains,” the Maryland-based actor says. “When they were hearing the sounds of a revolution, and gunfire and explosions, I had ‘Radiolab’ playing. Where they were worrying about being seen, the scariest thing for me was walking down to the Colorado River and [worrying] my shoes were going to get wet.

“I still think about it, and it crushes me. I don’t understand how they did it.”

Ebrahimzadeh, now 37, is a staple of D.C.’s theater scene, with dozens of stage credits spanning local and regional productions.

He can next be seen in Round House Theatre’s production of the political thriller “Oslo,” which opens Wednesday at the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Lansburgh Theatre.

He understands it’s a career he owes to his parents, even if he strayed far from the path they imagined for him.

“It’s a very convoluted, weird story, my life,” he says.

After leaving Iran, Mahmood

and Jaleh Ebrahimzadeh spent five years with Maboud in Germany, then relocated to the United States when their son was 6. Growing up in Westminster, Md., Ebrahimzadeh spent most of his youth following in the footsteps of his father, a soccer coach and former professional player who represented Iran at the 1978 World Cup. At age 17, after playing in elite youth tournaments across Europe, Ebrahimzadeh was offered a slot in the academy of Italian powerhouse AC Milan.

But his mother was particularly apprehensive about the idea, having seen Mahmood’s career cut short by injuries, and encouraged Maboud to pursue a medical education instead.

“It’s not only family culture, but our culture coming from Iran,” Jaleh says. “We were always pushing him into becoming a physician — ‘be more stable financially,’ ‘have a job for the rest of your life,’ all of that.”

Ebrahimzadeh ultimately

decided to hang up his cleats and enroll in medical school at Howard University, where his mother had earned her Ph.D. While the studies made sense to him, he grappled with his motivations for pursuing them.

“The first 18 years of my life, I was following my dad’s path for me,” he says. “Then the next chapter of my life was about doing what my mom wanted me to do. I didn’t know who I was.”

A few semesters in, Ebrahimzadeh dropped out of medical school and transferred to Howard Community College.

There, he continued to take some medical classes while dabbling in various electives — including an entry-level acting course.

Ebrahimzadeh had always possessed an affinity for pop culture; as a child raised speaking Persian and German, he credits Indiana Jones, James Bond and Marty McFly with helping teach him English. But it was in that class, taught by local theater veteran Bill Largess,

MABOUD EBRAHIMZADEH

that Ebrahimzadeh found acting to be an ideal avenue through which to embrace his layered identity — as a son stepping out of his parents’ shadow, and as an immigrant embracing the duality of his Iranian-American upbringing.

“All of my life I’ve been told I needed to assimilate,” Ebrahimzadeh says. “I believe assimilation is a dirty word, but I’ve been always putting on personas.

And [Largess] was asking me to do that — but not. He was asking me to present a truth and put that on myself. It didn’t really make sense to me, but something about it felt very natural.”

Reflecting on that class, Largess says Ebrahimzadeh displayed “a willingness to open up, and a willingness to do things that were maybe not comfortable. That is a fairly unusual thing to find in somebody in a beginning acting class.”

Eventually leaving school without a degree, Ebrahimzadeh found work at a cardiology clinic. His heart, however, was in the community theater he performed on the side. By age 25, he was booking enough roles to quit that job and pursue acting full time.

Ebrahimzadeh remembers his parents being “justifiably angry” by the decision to leave behind his studies. “If I went through what they went through to put me here and had my kid say, ‘I want to go play pretend and potentially have no life or means of income,’ I’d be angry as all hell,” he says.

Jaleh and Mahmood acknowledge the initial shock. Yet once they saw their son onstage, disappearing into role after role, their perspective changed. And they took further pride in Maboud’s conscious effort to craft characters that combat tired Middle Eastern tropes.

“As parents, we always wanted to see what we wanted him to be,” Jaleh says. “But this was totally deleting whatever we had in mind for him and then seeing something totally new — seeing a new Maboud, and seeing the talent that we had never thought about. … When he’s onstage, he’s

Parents Jaleh, center, and Mahmood, right, crossed mountains for their son.

Inside ‘Oslo’ Maboud Ebrahimzadeh plays Ahmed Qurie, a Palestinian official who would later serve as prime minister, in J.T. Rogers’ fact-based drama “Oslo.” The Tony-winning play depicts the 1993 back-channel negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization that proved critical to forming the Oslo Accords.

exactly who he wants to be.”

Mahmood adds: “The most important thing is to see what he can do to have some effect in the society or in the life of some

people. Maboud has that personality to do it, with his heart and his technique and his brain. I’m proud of that.”

As a resident artist at Round House, Ebrahimzadeh is slated to follow up “Oslo” with roles in upcoming productions including “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” “Big Love” and “Hatef---.”

When he’s not onstage, Ebrahimzadeh is writing a pair of plays: an autobiographical one-man show, and a traditionally staged play that tells his parents’ story.

“If this is what I’m going to do, I have to be willing to put the equivalent of marching through mountains to make it a reality,” Ebrahimzadeh says.

“They’re the story — I was just along for the ride, and I’m just trying to do right by them.”

The record — a groove-based mix of politically tinged, R&B-inspired indie pop — came out last June, but she hasn’t played a headlining show here since. After making a fan out of Kacey Musgraves, for whom Prass opened at The Anthem in January, Prass will finally get to present those fully fleshed-out songs, including the feminist anthem “Sisters” and the infectious “Short Court Style,” during her headlining set Friday.

MUSIC

Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers Since coming out as transgender in 2012, Laura Jane Grace has been a public advocate for trans issues.

The Against Me! singer-guitarist made gender and sexuality an explicit focus of that band’s two most recent albums. These days, her writing isn’t always suited to the band’s anarcho-punk approach.

So Grace went and started a new band — Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers — for “Bought to Rot,” a self-described “mixtape” of classic rock riffs and barroom singalongs. Rock and Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE; Tue., 8 p.m., $25.

SATURDAY

Ocelot’s fourth anniversary party Ocelot Brewing Company, 23600 Overland Drive, Sterling, Va.; Sat., 11 a.m.-7 p.m., free admission.

To mark four years in business, Ocelot Brewing Co. is hosting a party with beer releases, food trucks and a market with local food and craft vendors. Appropriately for a brewery that names its beers after favorite song titles and lyrics — the anniversary double IPA is “Soul Kitchen,” for example — folks from Fairfax’s Mobius Records will be spinning tunes all day.

Shaw Main Streets’ annual food and drink celebration is back, this time with over 20 local vendors representing the Shaw neighborhood. Among the local establishments that will be slinging unlimited samples of dishes and drinks are: Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. (with a build-yourown-biscuit-bar), Drink Company (the group behind the “Game of Thrones” and Cherry Blossom pop-up bars ), Nicecream, Sugar Shack, Service Bar, Roy Boys and Dino’s Grotto. To enhance the night, Raheem DeVaughn collaborator Bee Boisseau and multi-instrumentalist Christylez Bacon will provide the soundtrack, and tickets come with free valet parking. The Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW; Wed., 7-9:30 p.m., $80-$100.

Lotus: Late last year, Philadelphia-based band Lotus surprised fans with the release of “Frames Per Second,” a 19-song, all-instrumental album. The record was hailed as a return to roots — after a couple of albums with vocals — full of funkified improvisations and the electronic elements that have always been a hallmark of Lotus’ sound. Like last year, Lotus will return to the 9:30 Club for two nights this weekend, and you can expect both shows, which have no opener, to be completely different affairs.

entertainment Beyonce stands above the crowd with her new Netflix concert film “Homecoming.”

PARKWOOD ENTERTAINMENT

McEwan finds humanity in a robotic world

Bow down to the Queen Bey Netflix’s ‘Homecoming’ is one of the greatest concert films in history FILM REVIEW Hey, remember that time Beyonce compressed the meaning of her art into a single costume change? It came right off the rip at her nonstop Coachella performance last April: With a single snare drum announcing her arrival, she sashayed toward the stage dressed like a 22nd-century Nefertiti, radiating a majesty that was not of this world. Then, minutes later, she was sporting cutoffs and a smile, bouncing her way through “Crazy in Love,”

standing alongside the rest of us in reality, helping us envision a world more extraordinary than the one we’ve inherited.

So that covers the first eight minutes of “Homecoming,” a concert film released Wednesday that was written, narrated, directed and produced by a pop auteur at the peak of her abilities.

If you have a Netflix password and two more hours to spare, you’re in for one of the greatest concert films ever made.

Up on that Coachella stage, Beyonce is pure momentum, toggling between imagination and reality in a way that feels like relentless forward motion. Thankfully, “Homecoming” freezes all

of that mystery-movement into celluloid for the ages, capturing one of the absolute best at her absolute best.

As for the film’s title, it can be as literal or as figurative as you need it to be. The concert footage — taken from two separate headlining spots at last year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in balmy California — captures more than 200 backing musicians and dancers tirelessly building an unstoppable groove, all in loving tribute to the homecoming culture of America’s historically black colleges and universities. In the film, our narrator also frames the gig as her personal homecoming to the stage after the birth of her twins.

And as the nucleus of her very own marching band, Beyonce sounds right at home, going after huge notes in a riptide of golden brass and martial rat-a-tat. She twists everything impossibly tight, then loosens up during

the transitions and interludes.

(And if you’d prefer to witness these feats without your retinas getting in the way, good news: “Homecoming” was also released Wednesday as a 40-track live album.)

To give viewers a breather from the concert’s rhythm rush, Beyonce narrates her grainy rehearsal tapes, spelling out exactly how grueling it was to pull this entire thing off. “What people don’t see is the sacrifice,” she says. “It was a dream come true, and something I feel like I’ve worked my entire life for.”

Commit your ears and eyes to “Homecoming” and all of that stuff quite literally goes without saying. In fact, these behind-the-curtain segments are the only moments that make the film feel less than perfect. We don’t need Beyonce to explain her artistry to us. It’s never spoken more powerfully for itself.

TELEVISION

‘Halo’ series lands its Master Chief

“Orange Is the New Black” actor Pablo Schreiber will play the lead role of Master Chief in Showtime’s live-action series adaptation of the video game “Halo,” the network announced Wednesday. Schreiber will be joined by newcomer Yerin Ha, who will play 16-year-old Quan Ah, a new character created for the show. Showtime also confirmed Wednesday that “The Last Ship’s” Steven Kane has joined Kyle Killen as co-showrunner. (EXPRESS) Emma Thompson, Paul Rudd to host final episodes of “SNL” season

John Cusack joins Gillian Flynn’s Amazon series “Utopia”

BOOK REVIEW Half a century ago, Philip K. Dick asked, “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?,” and now Ian McEwan is sure those androids are pulling the wool over our eyes.

“Machines Like Me,” his novel released Tuesday, takes place in England in the 1980s, but it’s an uncanny variation of the past we remember. Just the slightest fluctuations have altered the vectors of history.

England lost the Falklands War. Unemployment is at Depression-era levels. Perhaps most significantly, Alan Turing didn’t commit suicide. Instead, the mathematician laid down the principles that enabled the creation of humanlike robots.

Our narrator is Charlie Friend.

The ultimate early adopter, Charlie uses a recent inheritance to buy a robot named Adam.

To the casual observer, Adam is a handsome man — “fairly well endowed,” Charlie admits while hastening to add, “Adam was not a sex toy.” But sex is certainly central to this carefully constructed comedy of terrors.

McEwan is a master at cerebral silliness. He also is not only one of the most elegant writers alive, but one of the most astute at crafting moral dilemmas within the drama of everyday life.

Figuring out how to treat each other, how to do some good in the world, how to create a sense of value in our lives — these are problems no robot will ever solve for us. RON CHARLES (TWP)

“If I die, bury me with this giant bread pillow so I can feast in the afterlife.” @ARMYOFMEAT, tweeting about

Amazon’s Bread Pillow, the new foodinspired home accessory, which seems to have dethroned the Burrito Blanket as the internet’s latest obsession. The Bread Pillow has become highly popular on Amazon. The plush, baguetteshaped cushion comes in five sizes, but unfortunately doesn’t smell like the real thing. Nor is it edible.

“Ryan Fitzpatrick looks like Tim Allen in ‘The Santa Clause’ mid-transformation.” @FORTHECOLTURE, reacting to the Miami Dolphins quarterback’s dad bod at a recent workout. Fitzpatrick told reporters Tuesday that his physique was due to cake, as three of his seven kids have birthdays in the first 11 days of March.

Nonetheless, his transformation amused Twitter users, who said he looked more like an offensive lineman, and compared him to Allen in the 1994 movie, whose character packs on the pounds after becoming Santa Claus.

“I did not receive a cake.

I would like a cake, please.”

“Can’t even break down in peace, neither one of you.”

@MOMOBARBONIE, commenting on a new baked-good trend: vasectomy cakes. According to USA Today, bakers across the country are making creative cakes to celebrate the procedure, with decorations that include scissors and blueberries as well as fondant sperm.

Though many men lamented that they’d never received a cake, some on social media weren’t thrilled by the idea. “I hate 2019,” tweeted @KatrinaTrinko.

@ITSARABEIN, joking about teenager

Fabbiha Afrin’s video documentation of a person having an intense bowel movement in the stall next to her. Afrin tweeted last week that she’d gone to the bathroom to have a “mental breakdown” when her sobbing was interrupted. Her video shows Afrin cringing and rolling her eyes in agony at the unfortunate sounds. She later assured concerned Twitter users she was OK.

TMZ reported Wednesday that a group of men burglarized Soulja Boy’s home in Agoura Hills, Calif.

According to TMZ, the rapper was not home because he is currently in jail for violating probation.

Police say the suspects accessed Soulja Boy’s Instagram Live and bragged about the theft. They stole jewelry and $100,000 cash. (EXPRESS)

Ja Rule, who helped organize the failed Fyre Festival, owes the IRS $2,031,753 in total, some of it from as far back as 2005. He has served time for tax evasion in the past, from July 2011 to May 2013. (EXPRESS)

A source said they are “outraged” at being called cheaters. (EXPRESS)

Bey works harder than anyone, ever

“I remembered saying to myself, ‘I don’t think I’m gonna be priest material.’ ”

Beyonce opened up about what went into creating her 2018 Coachella performance after giving birth to twins Rumi and Sir in the new Netflix documentary “Homecoming,” various outlets reported. Beyonce said she developed preeclampsia during pregnancy, and had an emergency C-section. “My body went through more than I knew it could,” she said. Rumi and Sir were born June 2017, nearly a year before Coachella. In the documentary, she talked about breastfeeding in between rehearsals, and how she gave up carbs, sugar, dairy, meat, fish and alcohol. (EXPRESS)
