CULTURE The white buildings are rising from the construction site south of the Kennedy Center, but the long-awaited expansion — two years delayed and costing some $50 million more than originally planned — is now expected to be completed in 2019.

Kennedy Center Chairman David Rubenstein said the expansion project — called the REACH — should be finished next May. An arts center official said a grand opening is planned for September 2019.

“We hope by this time next year it will be open,” Rubenstein said before the Spring Gala on Sunday. “Thank you for supporting it so far.”

design has grown to a $175 million effort that will open 27 months late, due to changes in design and a major sewer project in the District.

The expansion will add 60,000 square feet of classroom, rehearsal and performance space

on the 4 acres to the south of the white marble arts center. In addition to the three pavilions, the project includes a reflecting pool, a grove of trees, a sloping lawn that will allow for outdoor screenings of performances and a pedestrian bridge over Rock Creek Parkway connecting the arts center to the riverfront.

Officials plans to announce more information about the project — including what REACH means — next month.

Kennedy Center officials hosted a ceremonial groundbreaking Dec. 4, 2014, and announced that the new space would open May 29, 2017, the 100th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s birth. The original fundraising campaign sought $125 million, including $100 million for construction and $25 million for programming.

Police: Woman killed trying to aid neighbor

KKK leader found guilty of firing gun at Va. rally

Three shot dead before shooter turned gun on himself, authorities say

DAN MORSE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MONTGOMERY COUNTY Mary Ann Olson volunteered with her church, her family said.

She was quick to help people on her block in the Brookeville, Md., area too, so they said it was natural for her to open her home to a neighbor fleeing her husband Monday afternoon.

Olson let the woman in and when the husband followed with a gun, Olson tried to calm him.

But in a matter of minutes, Christopher Snyder, 41, opened fire, killing Olson, her friend who had just arrived for a beach trip and a contractor working on her deck.

Police said all three had no connection to Snyder, but were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Afterward, Snyder retreated to his home, where for hours police negotiators tried to coax him into surrendering. At 11 p.m., officers forced their way in.

“Did they just break in the front door?” Snyder asked a negotiator over the phone, before hanging up and fatally shooting himself, police said.

Louise Tano, Olson’s sister, said she was artistic and loved cooking. Olson had two children and was selfless. In short, Tano said the 66-year-old died as she lived.

“Mary would do anything in the service of others,” Tano said.

“She didn’t hesitate a second

to protect this woman in need.”

Snyder’s wife told police Monday he had held her captive in his Snyder home on a cul-desac on Brown Farm Road over the weekend.

Montgomery County police identified the visiting friend who was killed as Danny Lee Murphy, 70 of Brandon, S.D., and the dead contractor as Craig Harold Shotwell, 54, of Owings Mills, Md. Snyder’s wife and two other adults managed to escape the home unharmed during the rampage.

Snyder claimed in divorce filings that he was formerly a member of the Armed Forces, served on classified missions

and was a contractor for local law enforcement agencies, but some people who came in contact with him doubted some of those claims and others of his assertions could not be verified. The court records showed he had a troubled relationship with the ex-wife he had divorced last year.

The ATF said Snyder had a federal license to be a firearm’s dealer under.

Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger said that Snyder was known to police.

“We’ve had a number of contacts with this suspect in the past over a number of different issues,” Manger said, adding that his department will be releasing more details about those interactions. JUSTIN JOUVENAL AND PETER HERMANN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TSA: No guns, no matter how ‘cute’ they are Loaded handguns — even the “cute” colorful ones — still don’t belong in your carry-on, as a Virginia woman learned Monday.

The unidentified woman was arrested at Richmond International Airport when she tried to bring a hot-pink gun loaded with eight pink-tipped bullets onto a New York-bound plane, the Transportation Security Administration said Tuesday. Police confiscated the gun and arrested the Hopewell, Va., woman on weapons charges, TSA said. This marked at least the fourth time this year a weapon was confiscated at a checkpoint at the Richmond airport. In the Washington area, three guns have been found at Reagan National Airport, four at Dulles and seven at Baltimore-Washington International. (TWP)

LACK OF LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN VA.

The proportion of more than 500,000 civil cases handled in Virginia’s general district courts each year that have lawyers representing people on both sides, according to a National Center for State Courts study.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports the study found that plaintiffs are represented by lawyers in more than half the cases, while defendants are represented in very few. Plaintiffs with lawyers won 60 percent of cases when the defendant did not have a lawyer. Plaintiffs won just 20 percent of cases when both parties had lawyers. (AP)

After Preston entered his plea, prosecutors laid out the case they would have presented at trial. Immediately afterward, Charlottesville Circuit Court Judge Richard Moore found Preston guilty.

local Alexandria changes design for new station to rein in cost overruns ALEXANDRIA Alexandria is scaling back the design of the Potomac Yard Metro station, including scrapping the south entrance, in an effort to save costs on the $320 million project.

Under the revised design, the new station will no longer have an entrance or mezzanine accessible from East Glebe Road.

Two ramps will be eliminated,

as will a south pedestrian and bicycle bridge. Park improvements planned as part of the project are also off the table.

The changes will put the Metro entrance farther from hundreds of residents on the southern side of the station, and from a growing area of new residences. But the adjustments will keep the project’s cost down at a time when both construction materials and labor prices are up, while remaining consistent with its objectives to support mixed-use development, City Manager Mark Jinks said.

D.C. homeless numbers fall Annual report finds population dipped for a second straight year THE DISTRICT The number of homeless people in the nation’s capital has declined for the second year in a row, while remaining higher than it was five years ago, according to the results of an annual count released Tuesday.

The survey, mandated by the federal government, found 6,904 homeless people in D.C. The figure represented a 7.6 percent

drop from 2017 and a 17.3 percent drop from 2016. It remains slightly higher than the homeless population of 6,865 in 2013.

The annual homeless count is conducted largely by volunteers on a night in January, and its results can vary based on factors such as the weather, with more people staying outside when it is unseasonably warm. Surveyors found 600 people sleeping on the street this year, compared with 897 last year.

The reduction was driven by a diminished number of homeless families. Kristy Greenwalt,

director of the D.C. Interagency Council on Homelessness, pointed to the results as evidence the city’s plans to combat homelessness — which since 2015 have focused on families — are working.

During her 2014 campaign, Mayor Muriel Bowser pledged to address homelessness. She has implemented a politically risky plan to close the main family shelter at the former site of D.C. General Hospital and replace it with smaller shelters.

“We have a plan, and that plan is working,” Greenwalt said.

Ironic timing: Proposals attack retirement funds working people knows no limits,” Cox said. “As Wall Street shareholders are reporting record profits and the wealthiest 1 percent are basking in their massive tax cuts, President Trump believes the career employees who keep the government running deserve another cut, this time to their retirement.”

Pon signed the letter to Ryan, but it certainly has the fingerprints of Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney all over it. The proposals were part of the administration’s budget plan released in February, before Pon took office.

Ryan didn’t respond to a query about the letter, but Rep. Elijah Cummings, Md., the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, was upset.

Calling the administration’s proposal “draconian,” he said it “would betray the promises the nation has made to middle-class federal workers who dedicate their lives to public service — as well as their families — and it would severely degrade recruitment and retention.”

In a conference call with reporters last month, Pon talked about the need to have

Q+A

Why millennials aren’t getting many fed jobs

CHRIS KLEPONIS (GETTY IMAGES)

President Trump really knows how to say thank-you.

Just as festivities geared up for Public Service Recognition Week, which began Sunday, his administration sent a letter to Congress proposing $143.5 billion in compensation cuts for federal employees.

In a letter Friday to House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., Office of Personnel Management Director Jeff T. H. Pon pushed four proposals that, over 10 years, would significantly cut retirement benefits for 2.6 million federal retirees and survivors.

In addition, the administration has proposed freezing federal pay next year. Employees suffered a three-year freeze on basic pay rates under the Obama administration. With next year’s planned freeze, federal employees would have been hit with $246 billion in cuts to wages and benefits, complained J. David Cox Sr., president of the American Federation of Government Employees, which released Pon’s letter after getting it from a congressional source.

“President Trump’s war on

The Trump administration has pushed proposals that over 10 years would significantly cut benefits for 2.6 million federal retirees and survivors.

“data required for having an intelligent conversation” with federal unions about compensation and having “that dialogue with the same data.”

So why is he pushing major compensation cuts before there is any dialogue or agreement on the data?

There’s far from a consensus on federal pay. In April, a Federal Salary Council report said federal pay lags behind the private sector by about 32 percent. Last year, the Congressional Budget Office said that overall, feds are paid 3 percent more than private-sector

workers, but that varies widely with educational level.

In his Public Service Recognition Week proclamation, Trump praised the workforce, saying, “Every day, our Nation’s civil servants help make America better, safer, and stronger.

This week, we honor their efforts and extend our gratitude for their exceptionalism and steadfast commitment to serving the American people.”

They can take that to the bank.

Q. Am I the only millennial working for the government? Exaggerating, but sometimes it sure seems that way.

A. The federal workforce is indeed top-heavy in age. That’s partly because much of the work requires extensive experience, but it does raise questions about whether Uncle Sam readily keeps up with the times and whether there’s enough of a pipeline to take over as older employees move up or retire.

The Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit that promotes more effective government, recently found that while those under age 30 constitute 24 percent of the nationwide workforce, they represent only 6 percent of executive branch workers in a commonly used count.

Max Stier, the nonprofit’s CEO, said that is “ominous evidence that our government doesn’t have the generational diversity necessary to deliver best results in today’s data- and technologydriven environment.”

“The government’s inability to attract the younger generation has been hampered by disengaged leadership, a slow and arcane hiring process, a general preference for prior experience over high-potential capability, poor recruiting practices and a continued hiring freeze at many agencies,” he said in an email.

New York AG resigns amid abuse allegations NEW YORK Less than three months ago, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman went before the news cameras to announce a lawsuit accusing movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his former studio of abusing and intimidating a multitude of women.

“We have never seen anything as despicable as what we’ve seen here,” Schneiderman declared.

Now, in a stunning turn rife with seeming hypocrisy, Schneiderman’s own career has imploded, collapsing just three hours after the 63-year-old Democrat was accused of choking, slapping, threatening or otherwise abusing four women during intimate encounters.

The allegations, which Schneiderman contests but which led him to resign, emerged Monday in an article in The New Yorker, a publication he hailed just last month for reporting on Weinstein and starting a “critical national reckoning” on sexual misconduct.

It was a dizzying fall for a politician who put himself at the fore of the #MeToo movement and had cast himself as a defender of women ever since he worked at an abortion clinic at 17.

He is now facing a criminal investigation by the same district attorney’s office looking

accusers for having the “courage” to “take on an attorney general they believe threatened them not to go public.”

Schneiderman denied assaulting anyone or engaging in nonconsensual sex — “a line I would not cross,” he said. Contradicting his accusers, he characterized his behavior as “role-playing and other consensual sexual activity.”

Schneiderman’s resignation went into effect at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

The amount of CO2, in metric tons, that was emitted due to global tourism in 2013, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change on Monday, the BBC reported. That means tourism accounts for 8 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions — around three times more than previous estimates. The study, which looked at 160 countries, showed tourists from the United States were responsible for the most carbon emissions — nearly a billion metric tons in 2013 — followed by China, Germany and India.

Trump exits Iran deal

HEALTH The head of a major pharmaceutical distributor apologized before Congress on Tuesday for not doing more to stop the shipment of millions of powerful prescription opioids to pharmacies in two small West Virginia towns, while another industry leader admitted that his company contributed to the nation’s opioid crisis.

Cardinal Health Executive Chairman George Barrett said he is sorry that the company did not act faster to halt millions of hydrocodone and oxycodone pills to the pharmacies in West

Virginia, which has the nation’s highest rate of opioid overdose death.

“With the benefit of hindsight, I wish we had moved faster and asked a different set of questions,” Barrett said. “I am deeply sorry we did not.”

Joseph Mastandrea said he believes his company, MiamiLuken, contributed to the opioid crisis.

The current and former executives with pharmaceutical distributors are accused of flooding small U.S. towns with prescription painkillers. The executives testified Tuesday before a House Energy and Commerce Committee oversight panel that has spent the past year investigating pill dumping in West Virginia.

Cardinal Health Executive Chairman George Barrett testifies on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.

A single pharmacy in Kermit, W. Va., a town of about 400 people, for example, received nearly 9 million hydrocodone

pills over two years.

“There is no logical explanation we can find for why a town of approximately 400 people would receive nearly 9 million opioid pills in two years,” said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. All of the companies that testified, aside from Miami-Luken, said they do not believe their companies contributed to the opioid crisis. Each executive said their companies have taken steps to prevent the diversion of drugs.

They argued that their companies do not manufacture or prescribe drugs; they fulfill orders from pharmacies. Distributors, they argue, are not responsible for overprescribing medications. KATIE ZEZIMA AND SCOTT HIGHAM

Many of his supporters wore white, symbolizing their hope that Pashinian will bring a new era.

HEALTH New research suggests duped patients sometimes crowdfund to pay for bogus stem cell treatments.

A study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association focused on for-profit clinics that use direct-to-consumer advertising for costly, unproven stem cell treatments for conditions including chronic lung disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and arthritis.

Patients who believe the hype sometimes turn to crowdfunding sites when their health insurance won’t pay. The study looked at GoFundMe and YouCaring.

Over four months last year, the researchers found 408 pleas involving stem cell treatment that got pledges for nearly $1.5 million from 13,050 donors.

Most of the campaigns echoed the companies’ claims, inadvertently spreading potentially misleading messages, the researchers said.

Some clinics encourage patients to use crowdfunding, and crowdfunding sites recommend sharing pleas on social media to help raise funds, said study lead author Jeremy Snyder.

The study didn’t examine how many patients eventually underwent stem cell treatment or how those who did fared, but deaths and permanent injury, including blindness, from unproven stem cell treatments have been reported.

Russia’s parliament approves a new term as premier for Medvedev

POLITICS President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the landmark nuclear accord with Iran on Tuesday, declaring he was making the world safer in restoring harsh sanctions. But he also dealt a profound blow to allies, deepened his isolation on the world stage and revived doubts about American credibility in the most consequential foreign policy action of his presidency.

The leaders of Germany, France and Britain, co-signers of the agreement, expressed regret and said they would try to salvage the accord with Iran. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said he was sending his foreign minister to work with those remaining countries but warned there was only a short time to negotiate with them and his country could soon “start enriching uranium more than before.”

The 2015 accord, which lifted major economic sanctions against Iran, was specifically aimed at preventing that result.

But Trump said, “The Iran deal is defective at its core.”

“If we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen. In just a short period of time, the world’s leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapons,” Trump said in a televised address from the White House.

He said the U.S. “will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction.”

Trump’s decision means Iran’s government must now decide whether to follow the U.S. and withdraw or try to salvage what’s left of the deal. The leaders of Britain, Germany and France immediately urged the U.S. not to take any actions that could prevent them and Iran from continuing to implement the

Experts fear window into Iran could shut

that documents recently released

by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed Iran had attempted to develop a nuclear bomb in the previous decade, especially before 2003. Although Trump gave no explicit evidence that Iran violated the deal, he said Iran had clearly lied in the past and could not be trusted.

The 2015 agreement had lifted most U.S. and international sanctions against Iran. In return, Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear program that would make it impossible to produce a bomb, along with rigorous inspections.

Iran has denied ever pursuing nuclear arms, and even Trump’s secretary of state and the U.N. agency that monitors nuclear compliance agree that Iran, so far, has lived up to its side of the deal. But the deal’s critics say it’s a giveaway to Tehran that ultimately would pave the way to a nuclear-armed Iran.

NATIONAL SECURITY Now that the Trump administration has decided to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, the U.N. watchdog agency that monitored live video from inside Iran’s once-secret uranium enrichment plants is preparing for the possibility that its window into Iran’s nuclear affairs will abruptly slam shut.

Many experts believe a collapse of the agreement will trigger a suspension of the unique, wide-ranging access accorded to the International Atomic Energy Agency over the past three years.

The IAEA has been an indispensable partner in the Iran deal’s implementation.

The agency’s inspectors have recorded and certified Iran’s compliance with each of several key components of the agreement. They confirmed, for example, that Iran had shipped out or eliminated 95 percent of its stockpile of enriched uranium, and dismantled or idled twothirds of its centrifuge machines used in making nuclear fuel.

U.N. officials say the pact’s transparency provisions have helped prevent war by replacing suspicions with hard facts. Yukiya Amano, the IAEA’s director general, told the agency’s 35-nation board of governors that Iran has complied so far with every request made by his inspectors. A collapse of the deal, he warned, would be “a great loss for nuclear verification.” JOBY

agreement. The statement from Prime Minister Theresa May, Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Emmanuel Macron also urged Iran to “show restraint” and continue fulfilling its own obligations such as cooperating with inspections.

In Washington, the Trump administration said it would reimpose sanctions on Iran immediately but allow grace periods for businesses to wind down activity.

The Treasury Department said there would be “certain 90-day and 180-day wind-down periods” but didn’t specify which sanctions would fall under which timelines.

If the deal collapses entirely, Iran would be free to resume prohibited enrichment activities. Meanwhile, businesses and banks doing business with Iran will have to scramble to extricate themselves or run afoul of the U.S. For nations contemplating striking their own sensitive deals

Obama responds Former President Barack Obama, whose administration negotiated the Iran deal, called President Trump’s decision to withdraw from it “misguided.” He added that “the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America’s credibility and puts us at odds with the world’s major powers.” (AP)

with Trump, such as North Korea, the withdrawal will increase suspicions that they cannot expect lasting U.S. fidelity to international agreements it signs.

Yet nations like Israel and Saudi Arabia that loathed the deal are likely to see it as a sign the U.S. is returning to a more skeptical, less trusting approach to dealing with adversaries.

“When my heart failed, the only option was every option.”

Former admiral and Navy pilot Tim Heely thought his breathlessness was just pneumonia—until doctors diagnosed a silent heart attack and a failing heart. To survive, he needed the most advanced cardiovascular options available—just what the experts at MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute at MedStar Washington Hospital Center offer.

Tim urgently needed a cardiac catheterization and stent to open a blocked artery. Next, his heart needed the support of an LVAD, an external pump pioneered at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. The device allowed him to return home, until a heart became available for transplant. For Tim and his family, MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute offered the most treasured option of all: a second chance at life.

nation+world Secretary of state says visit is to set framework for ‘successful summit’ NATIONAL SECURITY U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was heading to North Korea on Tuesday to finalize details of a planned historic summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump announced the mission in Washington just minutes before Pompeo arrived in Japan to refuel before flying on to

Pyongyang, and as the president declared that he was withdrawing from a landmark nuclear deal with another bitter U.S. adversary, Iran.

U.S. officials say Pompeo will also press North Korea for the release of three detained American citizens, whose imminent release Trump has been hinting at.

Pompeo’s trip comes just days after North Korea expressed displeasure with Washington for comments suggesting that massive U.S. pressure had pushed Kim to the negotiating table.

THREE POINTERS

JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Lightning up next

A 2-1 overtime win over the Penguins put the Caps in their first conference finals since 1998.

DAN STEINBERG | THE WASHINGTON POST

D.C.’s holy night: The lamest curse put to rest by Caps Seven thousand two hundred and sixty-five days since the Capitals were swept out of the Stanley Cup Finals, the stupidest streak in sports is gone, killed by those Capitals, who advanced Monday night to the Eastern Conference finals. They did so by beating the Penguins, and really, that’s the only way this stupid streak could have ended: with Washington beating Pittsburgh, in overtime, during the accursed second round.

With their Game 6 win, of course, the Capitals also did a service for the entire region.

They ended a narrative that made no one happy, that wasn’t cute or goofy, that failed to interest the rest of the country.

The Caps did not choke, gag or falter. They did not blow a

four-goal lead after a player accidentally skated into a sinkhole. They just won.

Washington has fetishized this next round of the playoffs, because Washington hasn’t seen this particular round of the playoffs in more than 7,000 days — not in the NHL, MLB, NBA or NFL. (Yes, there have been MLS titles in there.)

There had been 71 completed seasons in those sports since a D.C. team advanced to a conference finals. That means there have been 284 league semifinalists spread across this grand continent.

Zero of them represented Washington. Cincinnati, the next-closest city, has had just 45 seasons of similar futility.

And so, Washington’s 20-year slump turned the league semifinals into some Holy Grail, holy only to the District. It’s as if there’s

FIFA fines Russia $30K for fans’ racist taunts against France

been some giant pot of gold waiting in Pittsburgh, and we’ve all agreed that the most important goal in the world is reaching … Breezewood, Pa. Obviously that’s not true. But when you keep running off the highway a half-mile from the Breezewood Sheetz, you change the goal a bit. Maybe it’d be nice to drink a cup of coffee and see what happens next. Breezewood isn’t nirvana, but it’s so very much better than driving into a ditch.

If this season ends before anyone makes it to the Turnpike, that’s OK now. You never have to hear about the stupidest streak in sports again.

Before Monday, Washington teams lost 13 straight games

Redemption for Ovi A dramatic win Monday had to mean a little extra to Alex Ovechkin, who assisted on Evgeny Kuznetsov’s overtime goal. In 2009, Ovechkin had a breakaway chance to spark the Caps in a Game 7 meeting with the Penguins. Ovechkin didn’t score, and he became the face of a 20-year stretch in Washington without a conference finals berth in the four major sports, following individual brilliance and team success with repetitive playoff heartbreak. (TWP)

with a chance to advance to a conference finals. There are thousands and thousands of die-hard Washingtonians who support all four teams, and who have suffered with every near miss. Local fans — especially younger ones, for whom playoff losses have been a grating cliche — just wanted to see something different.

And then the Capitals — the best and truest exemplars of Washington’s playoff agony — finally ended it. Maybe they won’t win another game, or maybe they’ll win the Stanley Cup. Maybe people will forget the specifics of the game, but a whole lot of them will remember their unburdening.

“I feel like this was winning a Stanley Cup,” one fan said Tuesday on 106.7 The Fan. “I literally started to cry,” wrote a fan who watched the game from Guatemala.

“I screamed so loudly my husband was worried the neighbors would call the cops,” wrote another.

So either way, raise a glass to the death of the lamest, meanest and absolute stupidest streak in sports. May we never mention it again.

After knocking out Boston on Sunday, Tampa Bay will be wellrested before hosting the Caps in Game 1 of the conference finals Friday. Here are three things to know about the Lightning. (EXPRESS)

3 Best in the East At 54-23-5, Tampa Bay led the NHL in wins, led the East with 113 points and won the Atlantic Division for the first time in coach Jon Cooper’s five full seasons.

2 Poor penalty kill Tampa Bay’s penalty kill was 27th in the NHL (76.1 percent) in the regular season. It’s been slightly worse in the postseason, preventing a goal 74.2 percent of the time.

1 Sleeping giant?

Since center Steven Stamkos entered the league in 2008, only Alex Ovechkin has more goals. Stamkos has scored just three in the playoffs but has a team-high seven assists.

D.C. United trying to add Rooney in July

LeBron James is feeling better about his team after beating Toronto in the playoffs for a third consecutive year.

Sweep improves odds of Cavs keeping James Rough first round feels like ancient history as star sees title potential ANALYSIS LeBron James and Cleveland completed a wild nine-day stretch Monday.

Just over a week ago, James was limping to the locker room with cramps in a toss-up game with the Pacers in Cleveland — a Game 7 that could have served as his last in his second tenure with the Cavaliers. Had Cleveland lost, the chances of James returning would’ve been remote at best.

But Cleveland won, surviving the hardest first-round series of James’ illustrious career. Up next were the Raptors, the No. 1 seed in the East and winners of a franchise-record 59 games. But a meeting with Toronto, a team the Cavs had knocked out the past two seasons, was exactly what the doctor ordered.

After completing a four-game

sweep of Toronto for a second straight season, the Cavs are back in the Eastern Conference finals for a fourth year in a row.

And that caused James to mention something he hasn’t been talking about much recently.

“We’re excited about ... having the opportunity to compete for a championship,” James told reporters. “That is what our goal is.”

According to interview transcripts reviewed by The Cleveland Plain Dealer, it was the first time the superstar has mentioned “competing for a championship” since March 1.

It’s been a crazy year in Cleveland, going back to the decision not to retain David Griffin as the team’s chief executive last summer. That was followed by Kyrie Irving’s trade demand and the move to ship him to the Celtics for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder and Brooklyn’s first-round pick.

The Cavaliers played well without Thomas early, struggled after he returned in January,

NFL suspends Saints RB Mark Ingram 4 games for PED violation

then blew the team up by shipping out Crowder, Thomas, Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade at February’s trade deadline.

Now Cleveland appears to be clicking at the right time. After health issues for both Kevin Love and George Hill against the Pacers, both looked terrific against the Raptors — Love averaged 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds for the series, and Hill shot 53.3 percent. Cleveland’s starting lineup of James, Love, Hill, J.R. Smith and Kyle Korver can score with anyone in the NBA. And Tristan Thompson is suddenly a factor again.

Cleveland will almost certainly face Boston next. Without Irving and Gordon Hayward, it’s hard to see the Celtics putting up much of a fight. So James and the Cavaliers could be back to the NBA Finals for a fourth straight year, eighth straight for James.

Now the idea of James sticking around isn’t so far-fetched.

Redskins re-sign guard Shawn Lauvao

Wayne Rooney, the top scorer in the English national team history, is in serious talks about joining D.C. United this summer, sources told The Washington Post on Tuesday. Rooney, 32, has scored 10 goals for Everton in the Premier League this season — none since mid-December — after spending 13 years with Manchester United. He scored 53 goals for England in 119 appearances from 2003 to 2016. Rooney has a year left on his Everton deal but reports in Britain said he has grown frustrated there.

MUSIC VIDEO BREAKDOWN

‘America’s’ horror story

While hosting “Saturday Night Live” this past weekend, Donald Glover dropped a music video for the new single “This Is America”

from his rapper alter ego, Childish Gambino. Watch it once, and your eyes will naturally be drawn to his movements and facial expressions. Watch it again, but focus on the chaos reigning in the background. There’s a surreal element to all that goes on, as every frame is packed with visual references to racism and related violence in the United States. Let’s break it down. SONIA RAO (THE WASHINGTON POST) 1 Glover stands behind Los Angeles-based artist Calvin the Second, whose head has been covered with a bag, and shoots him with a gun pulled out of his back pocket. As many have pointed out, his stance while holding the weapon mimics that of the minstrel character Jim Crow, the origin of the term used to describe pre-Civil rights-era segregation laws.

2 Glover’s erratic dancing, choreographed by Sherrie Silver, distracts from everything happening in the background throughout the video. Paired with exaggerated expressions, his movements further the connection to minstrel shows, a form of

entertainment popularized in the early 1800s that mocked black people in the United States. The stock characters were usually played by white people in blackface, though some all-black groups performed under white directors.

3 Glover’s character, who appears to represent how white American culture oppresses black people, periodically kills innocent performers. As a choir joyfully sings the refrain — “Get your money, black man, get your money” — Glover slips out from behind a door and dances in front of them. He is then handed an assault weapon, shoots all 10 singers and walks away. aw The imagery evokes the

2015 Charleston church massacre, in which attendees of a prayer service were murdered by selfdescribed white supremacist Dylann Roof. As Glover tells listeners to “watch me move,” people in the background are chased by cops. The camera quickly glides past young people with their phones out as Glover says, “This a celly, that’s a tool.” Cellphones have been used to record police officers shooting or choking black people in recent years.

4 As Glover continues to dance amid the chaos, a hooded figure rides past on a white horse. Some have drawn connections to the Four Horsemen

of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation, in which death rides on a pale horse with hell following behind.

As Glover climbs atop a parked car, all the cars pictured are from the 1980s and 1990s — perhaps representing the stalled socioeconomic mobility of black Americans. The video ends with Glover chased down a dark hallway, and some point to the darkness behind him as a physical representation of the Sunken Place, a mental prison used to trap black people in Jordan Peele’s “Get Out.” Glover’s character keeps the darkness at bay by acting within white-imposed boundaries for most of the video, but it eventually catches up with him.

Does a lifetime of smoking weed produce chronic bad breath by the time you’re 85? Most of us will never know, but Willie Nelson suggests it does in one of the warm, quiet songs on his new mortality-tinged album “Last Man Standing.” A more serious approach colors the title track as he sings, “I don’t want to be the last man standing,” lamenting the loss of so many of his closest friends.

Then there’s a pause before he adds, “Well, then maybe I do.”

That sets the tone for another burst of creativity from a towering American artist who can’t seem to stop writing, singing and playing guitar.

entertainment Soul singer broadens his horizons with the personal ‘Good Thing’ ALBUM REVIEW Leon Bridges explores new musical dimensions on “Good Thing,” updating the retro soul of his acclaimed debut with a fresher approach and more personal lyrics, all without eroding the smoothness of his sounds.

With its string section and impassioned vocals, the ’70s-style opening ballad “Bet Ain’t Worth the Hand” allows for a smooth

transition from “Coming Home,” his Grammy-nominated first albu m , wh ich m u s i c a l l y ‘Good Thing’ placed Bridges Leon Bridges somewhere in the mid-’60s.

“Bad Bad News,” the first single, gracefully picks up the pace and comes rhythmically even closer to the present. It offers a booster shoot to his confidence — “I made a good, good thing/ Out of bad, bad news” — as well as the source of the album title.

Bridges updates his retro sound

Leon Bridges grows as an artist on his second album, “Good Thing.”

“Beyond,” a touching, refreshingly innocent confession to Mom about the absolute joy of finding your soul mate, has a

Macy Gray vibe. At under three minutes and highlighted by falsetto oohs and ahhs, “You Don’t Know” sounds ripe for summer success.

Bridges displays his strongest passion and fire on the album’s closing tracks, not to be missed.

There’s no subtlety in the bluesy “Mrs.,” which struggles to reconcile the emotional and physical aspects of a relationship.

Bridges’ voice remains his biggest strength, but “Good Thing” is proof positive that the rest of his artistry is fast catching up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may want to revisit an activity that left you rather cold the first time. Today, you’re likely to be far more enthusiastic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll want to keep your ear to the ground today; the farther away a source of news is from you, the more important that news is likely to be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) What you do today you must be ready to do again tomorrow — and perhaps the next day. This kind of repetition can ensure you get a thing right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may be asked about something that you don’t want to talk about — but such a refusal can only work against you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) What happens today is likely to be the prologue to something much more complex and immersive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You must be ready to repeat yourself in order to make your message clear. Take care that you don’t overstay your welcome.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Focus on that which brings you the greatest pleasure, and you can have it now. Can you see past a current obstacle?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will want to share how you feel with someone who has been in your shoes. You may learn that nothing is out of the ordinary.

POOCH CAFE | PAUL GILLIGAN

76 | 57 TODAY: Another great spring day as highs edge slightly higher, up through the 70s under mostly sunny skies with light breezes.

Partly cloudy tonight, with lows in the middle 50s to low 60s. Things will start getting hotter Thursday ahead of a cold front, and then another surge of heat arrives this weekend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The

more you think about entertaining those around you, the more likely you will be to have a profound and memorable impact as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will be most content today working on a creative project by yourself. Don’t lose touch with the outside world, however.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE | STEPHAN PASTIS

AVG. HIGH: 73 AVG. LOW: 54 SUNRISE: 6 a.m.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are

after tangible rewards, but today you may have to slow things down in order to explain your methods to a superior.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your closest rivals aren’t likely to close the gap today, and you’ll enjoy a rather long period in which your every move is right on the money.
