I-95 traffic really is the worst TRANSPORTATION Congratulations, Washingtonarea drivers. You can now claim the worst traffic “hot spot” in the country — a stretch of Interstate 95 in Northern Virginia that averages a whopping 23 traffic jams a day, according to a new study released Wednesday. Motorists heading south on I-95 between the Fairfax County Parkway and Exit 133 in Fredericksburg lose an average of 33 minutes in backups that leave brake lights stretching an average of 6.5 miles, according to the report by INRIX, a Kirkland, Wash.-based traffic data firm. If congestion doesn’t improve over the next decade, the researchers said, that stretch of I-95 will cost local motorists $2.3 billion in wasted time, lost fuel and additional carbon emissions. Nationwide, continued traffic congestion could cost drivers $2.2 trillion over the next decade, the study found. Bob Pishue, an INRIX senior economist, said researchers put a dollar figure on backups studied

A stretch along I-95 in Northern Virginia averages 23 traffic jams each day.

More traffic hot spots The D.C. area has two other traffic “hot spots” that are among the country’s worst. Northbound I-95 from an area south of Fredericksburg to Exit 143, in Northern Virginia, came in seventh, with 936 traffic jams over the two-month study. In Maryland, the eastern part of the Capital Beltway between Kenilworth Avenue (Route 201) and just east of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge in Prince George’s County ranked ninth-worst, with nearly 700 backups.

in more than 100,000 “hot spot” road segments in March and April to help public officials target improvements. Overall, the Washington region ranked third in the United States, behind Los Angeles and New York City, for the 10-year costs of traffic congestion. Los Angeles motorists face a potential $91 billion, while New York City drivers could lose $64 billion to backups. John B. Townsend II, a spokesman for AAA Mid-Atlantic, said

he wasn’t surprised to hear that I-95 had earned such a dubious distinction. The highway’s 29 miles of express toll lanes, which opened in 2014, have freed up more space in the regular lanes, he said. But they’ve also caused more backups where the toll lanes end and vehicles have to merge into the regular lanes. “In one way they’re a godsend because they’ve lived up to their promise of creating faster commute times on I-95,” Townsend said. “But we’re seeing these slowdowns in the regular lanes. You just get these backups up and down the line.” Kelly Hannon, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Transportation, said the state will spend $800 million over the next five years to improve I-95 in the Fredericksburg area. She said traffic is particularly congested there because local motorists who use I-95 for errands mix with regional commuters, tractor-trailers and long-distance travelers. “Any incident can cause delays very quickly,” Hannon said. “It’s just a very fragile system whenever anything unexpected happens.” KATHERINE SHAVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Historic cemetery on move NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. A centuries-old cemetery yards from the MGM National Harbor casino that was the subject of a court battle is being moved. The Addison family cemetery, on a hill across from the MGM’s ride-sharing pickup, is the final resting place for a colonial family that settled along the Potomac in the 1600s. Amid legal wrangling, at least 36 bodies buried hundreds of years ago are being exhumed and moved to a nearby church connected with the Addisons. “They’re digging up graves,” said Christian Carter, one of two of the family’s African-American descendants who sued the casino’s developer this year, claiming ownership of the property. “It looks like an archaeological dig.” Carter’s lawsuit was dismissed after a Prince George’s County District Court judge determined that Peterson Cos., which owns the land, is not on the property illegally — but said a circuit court judge must rule whether the company’s deed properly includes the burial ground.

Dozens of bodies buried next to MGM casino are being relocated

At least 36 bodies are buried in a centuries-old cemetery yards away from MGM casino in Maryland. They are being relocated to a church nearby.

Andre Gingles, an attorney for Peterson, which is footing the bill for the excavation, said the cemetery move probably would be completed in October. The Addison cemetery fell into disrepair as developers slowly absorbed surrounding land for new construction. Before excavators began moving the cemetery Aug. 7, it was whittled down to little more than a fenced-in hill monitored by a security guard in a sea of asphalt. Some family members considered

Board: Complaints rise over searches by police A D.C. police oversight board said it has received an increased number of complaints about officers conducting searches of people, vehicles and houses without obtaining proper consent, according to a report this week. So far this year, the Police Complaints Board said it has received 45 requests for investigations, up from fiscal years 2016 and 2015. The report does not say whether any of the searches were found to be improper, which police said undermines its conclusion. (TWP)

it an inappropriate resting place for a noted colonial clan and for John Hanson, a founding father who served as president of the Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation and was related to the Addisons. After a family vote and approval from the Prince George’s County Office of the State’s Attorney earlier this year, the cemetery will be moved to St. John’s Episcopal Church Broad Creek in Fort Washington, a congregation about 4 miles from the casino that the Addison family helped found. The Rev. Sarah D. Odderstol, the rector of St. John’s, said a 60-by-60-foot plot at the church was set aside for the cemetery. Before the excavation began, she led a service for Addison descendants at the existing cemetery near MGM. “Hundreds of years ago, when your family first laid its members to rest here, this was the best they had to offer,” read a liturgy Odderstol wrote for the service. “Quiet. Beautiful. And a stunning view that served as balm for those who grieved the loss of a loved one here. This space is no longer what it once was.” JUSTIN WM. MOYER

Maryland sues EPA over out-of-state pollution

verbatim

MICHAEL S. WILLIAMSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

ENVIRONMENT Maryland is suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for failing to act on a petition requiring power plants in five upwind states to reduce pollution, the state’s attorney general and an official in Gov. Larry Hogan’s administration said Wednesday. The Hogan administration said 70 percent of Maryland’s ozone problem originates in upwind states. Maryland petitioned the EPA in November for a finding that 36 power plant units in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are emitting air pollution affecting Maryland in violation of the Clean Air Act’s “good neighbor provision.” In January, the EPA issued a six-month extension to the act, setting a July 15 deadline that Maryland officials said expired without action being taken. “We’re saying in the lawsuit: EPA failed to do its job,” said Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh. “We’re getting pollution from these other states. We asked them to do something about it, and they did nothing. They didn’t hold

Maryland says other states aren’t doing enough to curb their pollution.

a hearing. They didn’t issue orders to Kentucky or Pennsylvania or any of their utilities to reduce their emissions, and so I’m not sure what their response is going to be, but it’s a very straightforward matter. We’re right. We’re breathing their polluted air and they’ve got to stop.” The EPA did not immediately respond to an email request for comment about the lawsuit. Ben Grumbles, secretary of the Maryland Department of the Environment, said the power plants have installed technology to

control pollution, but unlike facilities in Maryland, they do not use the technology during key times, such as the hot summer months. “We’re asking the EPA to step in and make sure that those facilities do the same thing that we’re doing in Maryland, and it makes a big difference for us downwind,” Grumbles said. “We know that those controls, if they’re run continuously, will make a difference: help us attain our ozone standard and also help protect the lungs and waterways of Maryland.” BRIAN WITTE (AP)

Recovery for many in Puerto Rico is a DIY effort as aid still lags

CARLOS GIUSTI (AP)

PUERTO RICO Relatives helped Maribel Valentin Espino find shelter when Hurricane Maria roared through her community in northern Puerto Rico. Neighbors formed volunteer brigades to cut fallen trees and clear twisty mountain roads after the storm had passed. Now, friends and a local cattle ranch provide the water they need to survive in the tropical heat. Valentin and her husband say they have not seen anyone from the Puerto Rican government, much less the Federal Emergency Management Agency, since the storm tore up the island Sept. 20, killing at least 16 people and leaving nearly all 3.4 million people in Puerto Rico without power and most without water. “People say FEMA is going to help us,” Valentin said. “We’re waiting.” Many others are also waiting for help from anyone from the federal or Puerto Rican government. But the scope of the devastation is so broad, and the relief effort so concentrated in San Juan, that many people say they have received little to no help. Valentin, her husband and teenage son live in one such area, Montebello. The roads are now passable, but the community is still isolated. “Nobody has visited, not from the government, not from the city, no one,” said Antonio Velez, a 64-year-old who

has lived there his entire life. The same complaint echoed throughout the town of Yabucoa. “Nothing, nothing, nothing,” said 58-year-old retiree Angel Luis Rodriguez. “I’ve lost everything, and no one has shown up to see if anyone lives here.” The recovery in the first week since the storm has largely been a do-it-yourself affair. People collect water from wells and streams, clear roads and repair their own homes when they are not waiting in day-long lines for gasoline and diesel. For most, the only visible signs of authority are police officers directing traffic, a critical service because traffic lights are out across the island. There are several thousand U.S. federal employees in Puerto Rico helping with the recovery

No lawmaker visits The Trump administration is restricting lawmakers in both parties from visiting storm-ravaged Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands aboard military aircraft this weekend in order to keep the focus on recovery missions there, congressional aides said.

effort. They are most visible in San Juan, where officials with FEMA, Homeland Security, and Customs and Border Protection have a presence. Gov. Ricardo Rossello and Resident Commissioner Jenniffer

Gonzalez, the island’s representative in Congress, have said they intend to seek more than $1 billion in federal assistance. It’s hard to avoid the fact that the response looks different from previous ones. After hurricanes in Louisiana, Texas and Florida, waves of power company trucks from other states descended in long convoys, something that is obviously not possible on an island. Hurricane Maria was the strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico in nearly 100 years and officials say the cost of recovery will dwarf that of Hurricane Georges in 1998. Whatever the final bill, Valentin just hopes it will factor in people like her. “If FEMA helps us, we are going to build again,” she said. BEN FOX AND DANICA COTO (AP)

Study shows income growth Minorities, Americans without college degrees show the greatest gains ECONOMY Nearly all American families saw substantial gains in wealth from 2013 to 2016, according to new data released Wednesday from the Federal Reserve. AfricanAmericans and Hispanic families and people without college degrees had the fastest rise, a sign that the economic gains are finally spreading to all Americans. Black households went from $13,600 in net worth in 2013 to $17,600 in 2016, a gain of almost 30 percent. Hispanic households went from $14,200 to $20,700 over the same time frame, a 46 percent

increase, the Fed reported. “This reflects in part a tightening job market in recent years, particularly for lower-skilled and less educated workers,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys Analytics. “Improving house prices, especially at the low end of the housing market, has also provided a boost to wealth for these groups.” Despite the large gains for minorities, white families still have nearly 10 times the amount of wealth. The median net worth of a white family last year was $171,000 the Fed said, a gain of 17 percent from 2013. It’s a similar story for the gap between those with college degrees and those without. The median net worth of people with

just a high school diploma jumped almost a quarter to $67,100, a sizable gain. People with college degrees now have a median net

worth of $292,100, over four times as much. Their wealth only rose 2 percent, but they started from such a high level that it will take years for anyone without a bachelor’s degree to catch up. Economists say the Fed report is an encouraging sign that the recovery from the Great Recession and financial crisis of 2008 is finally gaining momentum. It’s a marked shift from the period between 2010 and 2013, when wealth fell for all racial and ethnic groups except whites. The economists didn’t elaborate on what caused the widespread gains, but they did note that the unemployment rate has fallen in recent years from 7.5 percent to 5 percent last year. HEATHER LONG

U.N. human rights office decries “mass hanging” of 42 prisoners in Iraq last weekend

Former judge Roy Moore’s win in Alabama’s Republican Senate primary presents Democrats a choice: whether to aggressively compete for the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Democrats have not seriously contested an Alabama Senate race since 1996, but think they have a credible candidate in Doug Jones, above, a former U.S. attorney who successfully prosecuted members of the Ku Klux Klan who bombed a black church in Birmingham in 1963, killing four girls. But it won’t be an easy decision. After a string of high-profile defeats in special House elections, Democrats are approaching the Jones campaign carefully. Alabama has not elected any Democrat to statewide office this decade. Jones, in an interview conducted before Moore secured his win, said he would provide a sober contrast with firebrand Moore, who for example has suggested that homosexuality should be illegal. Many observers said the race cannot just be about being anti-President Trump or antiGOP. Artur Davis, a four-term Democratic congressman from Alabama who briefly switched to the Republican Party, said Jones should “avoid the temptation to portray this race as a clash of dark and light. That will backfire here quicker than Roy can say Jesus.” DAVID WEIGEL

Many tax cuts — few details GOP plan slashes rates for businesses and lots of Americans, but it fails to explain how it will be paid for POLITICS Republican leaders on Wednesday proposed slashing tax rates for the wealthy, the middle class and businesses while preserving popular tax deductions that encourage buying homes and giving to charity, according to a nine-page framework they hope will eventually unify the party behind a proposal to revamp the U.S. tax code. But the document, titled “Unified Framework for Fixing Our Broken Tax Code,” leaves many key questions unanswered. In it, the White House and Republican congressional leaders do not identify the numerous tax breaks they say will be removed to offset some of the trillions of dollars in revenue lost by cutting tax rates. The framework is being presented as a starting point for negotiations on a tax deal. Here’s what we know about the plan:

President Trump pitched the new Republican tax plan during a speech in Indianapolis on Wednesday. “This is a once-in-ageneration opportunity” to offer “historic tax relief to the American people,” he said. “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.” The release of the tax framework kicks off a scramble by lawmakers to hammer out the details, craft legislation and, if all goes according to plan, pass legislation by the end of the year. Meeting that schedule won’t be easy. Republicans are under great pressure to enact tax reform in the wake of their failure to pass a new health care law. (AP)

What’s in it for the rich? The wealthy get a tax cut. They will pay only 35 percent on their income taxes (down from 39.6 percent). At the moment, this rate applies to any income above about $418,000. It’s unclear if Congress will tinker with the income level that rate kicks in at. Trump says he would be fine with Congress raising taxes on the rich in the final plan, but he isn’t requiring that it do that. The bigger tax break for the rich is the elimination of the estate tax, sometimes called the “death tax.” It’s the tax families currently pay when an asset like a house or ranch worth over $5.49 million is passed down to an heir after someone dies. Trump’s plan scraps this tax entirely.

What about the middle class? This is the giant question mark. There’s a lot of details left for

“I hope that people will have the intestinal fortitude it’s going to take to do it right. People say the health care was hard — you have no idea.” SEN. BOB CORKER, R-TENN., saying Republicans face more challenges to pass tax reform than health care

standard deduction (currently $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for married couples) will double. This means that a married couple earning $24,000 or less or an individual earning $12,000 or less won’t pay any taxes. The plan also promises a “significant increase” to the child tax credit (it’s currently $1,000 per child) and that middle-class Americans can keep using the mortgage interest deduction as well as tax breaks for retirement savings and higher education.

What about the working poor? Congress to fill out. Under the plan, America will have three tax rates — 35, 25 and 12 percent — but we don’t know yet which rate someone earning $50,000 or $80,000 will pay. W hat we do know is the

A senior White House official told journalists Tuesday, “We are committed to making the tax code at least as progressive as the current tax code.” Translation: The poor should not end up paying more than they do now.

Myanmar says at least 163 killed, 91 missing in attacks by Rohingya Muslim militants in past year

But it’s hard to check if that’s true because we still don’t have enough details. In theory, increasing the standard deduction should mean that more Americans pay $0 in taxes, but it depends what happens to a lot of other tax provisions (and whether Congress ends up cutting safety net programs that help the poor to pay for tax cuts).

Will filing my taxes be easier? The “file on a postcard” idea was an exaggeration, but the goal now is to get most people’s tax returns down to one page.

What happens to businesses? America’s large corporations will get a big tax cut. The top rate at the moment is 35 percent, one of the highest rates among developed nations. Most U.S.

companies don’t pay that rate, but it is still a starting point. The Trump plan slashes the rate to 20 percent, just below the average of major developed countries the U.S. competes against. The White House and Congress promised to close some loopholes that businesses currently enjoy, but the only details we have show MORE business goodies, not fewer. Small businesses also get a tax cut under the plan. At the moment, many small-business owners pay whatever their personal income tax rate is, so some end up paying as much as 39.6 percent. Under this plan, most they would pay at the 25 percent rate (the exception is if small businesses earned very little income, they might be able to pay at the 12 percent rate). There’s concern some rich people will simply use this as a way to lower their tax bill. Instead of paying at the new 35 percent top income tax rate, they could say all their income is small-business income and pay at the 25 percent rate.

Will this add to the debt? Originally, Republican leaders said they would not add $1 to America’s debt, but that promise appears to be gone. Right now, Senate Republicans have a deal to add $1.5 trillion to the debt over the next decade, so there’s a good chance this tax plan will add to the debt.

What are the pitfalls? There’s a ton we don’t know yet. Many on the left are concerned this plan gives away too much to the rich and big businesses. Many across the political spectrum are alarmed that it will likely add to America’s already large debt. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

nation+world ERBIL, IRAQ Kurds voted overwhelmingly to secede from Iraq, with nearly 93 percent approving a nonbinding referendum held Monday in the northern region of the country, according to an official tally released Wednesday. Kurds celebrated in the streets of Erbil, the capital of their semiautonomous enclave, hailing the result as a landmark moment in a century-long and bloody struggle for autonomy. Election authorities said they were proud of the 72 percent turnout, calling it a powerful

expression of the enthusiasm Kurds have for self-rule — despite mounting threats of economic and political isolation by regional powers and Baghdad. The bid for independence continued to roil Iraq’s central government and regional neighbors Turkey and Iran, and is shaping up to usher in a period of contentious wrangling over its implementation. Earlier Wednesday, Iraqi lawmakers authorized Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to deploy troops to a disputed city in northern Iraq and urged legal

action against Kurdish leaders as a showdown escalated over the vote. The parliament also called for the government to take control of oil fields in the Kurdish region. Several regional airlines said they would suspend flights to airports in the Kurdish region, a sign of Baghdad’s pressure to try to punish and isolate the Kurds. The move toward autonomy, a dream for millions of Kurds, was opposed by the U.S. as well as Turkey and Iran, which are worried about their own Kurdish populations.

Kirk Cousins was named NFC offensive player of the week after throwing three TDs.

THREE POINTERS

MARK TENALLEY (AP)

NFC North bad blood

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Winning formula: Redskins’ tweaks give Cousins a lift After an offseason in which fans griped over his contract negotiations, and a slow start that included two mostly mediocre games, Kirk Cousins played a nearly perfect game Sunday night. It was one of the most impressive performances of the quarterback’s career, and one of the most memorable Redskins games played at FedEx Field. In a 27-10 win over the Raiders, Cousins showed a national TV audience that he can be a top-10 quarterback. Maybe the Redskins are serious playoff

contenders after all. With a game plan that played to his strengths, Cousins threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns. On Wednesday, he was named NFC offensive player of the week. Cousins benefited from improved protection, growing familiarity with his receivers and a well-balanced offensive attack — Washington ran more than it passed for a second straight week despite averaging 3.4 yards per rush Sunday. The offense continues to change in coach Jay Gruden’s return to play-calling. Former offensive coordinator Sean McVay held that duty for the

last two years. Gruden still has a penchant for forcing fade passes, but he’s less inclined than McVay to repeatedly dial up throws. The less-is-more approach was the difference between Cousins going 23-for-40 in a Week 1 loss to Philadelphia and 25-for-30 versus Oakland. Offseason star Terrelle Pryor Sr. isn’t being asked to be a No. 1 receiver anymore. In the past two weeks, Jamison Crowder and Chris Thompson have been the top targets, and Ryan Grant has shown why he draws so much praise from Gruden. Josh Doctson finally showed his flair for the big play with a 52-yard touchdown catch Sunday, which may revive the downfield game some. But focusing on mediumrange routes and quick-read passes puts Cousins in the best position to succeed. He dinked and dunked down the field Sunday before finishing two of his five scoring drives with 22- and 18-yard TD passes to Thompson and Vernon Davis.

The offensive line was back to being a highlight. Its early struggles could be a product of an NFL-wide problem: Based on the collective bargaining agreement, players have fewer full-contact practices, and thus take longer to get into rhythm, especially in the trenches. With better protection, Gruden is confident Cousins can continue to improve. “[With] the ability to step into your throws and see coverage and get to your second and third progressions, Kirk is going to be very, very effective every week,” Gruden said. That will all be needed Monday night for a tough road game against the Chiefs, who have posted 11 sacks in three games, tied for second in the NFL. With a game-winning TD pass against the Rams and a standout effort Sunday, Cousins is proving his worth. He just needed some help.

The Rams’ 41-39 win over the 49ers on “Thursday Night Football” last week was tonic for a maligned time slot. Here’s why Chicago at Green Bay could follow suit tonight (8:25, CBS/NFLN). (EXPRESS)

3 Unpredictable Bears After a hard-fought loss to the Falcons and a lopsided defeat to the Bucs, Chicago shocked one of the AFC’s top teams with a 23-17 overtime win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.

2 Same old Packers Green Bay improved to 2-1 with a dramatic finish led by Aaron Rodgers, who took six sacks by the Bengals but led a 14-point rally capped by a winning field goal in overtime.

1 Rising stars Geronimo Allison was Rodgers’ top target with 122 yards receiving, including a 72-yard bomb. Chicago’s Tarik Cohen, below, has gained 6.5 yards per carry.

Mahinmi gets lean to speed up game WIZARDS Last season, center Ian Mahinmi had to sit and watch 51 games. He was sidelined by soreness in his right knee, then later betrayed by his left knee. The injuries resulted in a false start for his first season in Washington, but as Mahinmi recovered, he studied the game. He noticed how quickly his teammates played — and how their style matched the rapidly evolving league. These lessons drove him to reshape his mind and body. “I felt like I needed a change,” said Mahinmi, who had a minor knee procedure in the offseason and entered camp for his 11th NBA season looking leaner than the 6-foot-11, 262-pounder who signed a four-year, $64 million deal with the Wizards last year. Although he wouldn’t share his

weight loss total, he does appear to be less bulky. The Frenchman has cut out bread, and his slighter frame will help him handle floorspacing centers and pick-androlling point guards. Mahinmi, 30, had a realization similar to the one that hit 7-foot teammate Jason Smith, who said “evolve or die” and forced himself to become a 3-point shooter. Mahinmi won’t suddenly become a spot-up specialist — he’s taken just six 3-pointers in his career and missed them all — but several Wizards noted his agility after the team’s first training camp practice Tuesday. “He’s lean, in shape and his knees feel good. … He was out here moving and he picked up where he left off last season,” Bradley Beal said.

Cards place Pitino on leave

PITTSBURGH

Fire chief resigns after using slur about Tomlin

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Rick Pitino survived the tawdriest of scandals during his tenure as coach of the Louisville men’s basketball team, first as a victim of a 2009 extortion attempt during which he admitted to having sexual relations with the wife of his team’s equipment manager, then a 2015 scandal in which a former Cardinals staffer arranged for strippers and prostitutes to have sex with players and recruits in the team’s dormitory. But it appears Pitino could not survive the latest allegations: that an executive from Adidas, which outfits the Cardinals’ athletic teams, and others conspired to steer top recruits to Louisville by making six-figure payments to their families, in one instance enlisting the aid of one of Pitino’s assistants. Those allegations, which Pitino said “came as a complete shock “ when they were unveiled Tuesday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York, proved to be the coach’s undoing. On Wednesday, Pitino, 65, was placed on unpaid administrative leave by Louisville after 16 seasons, three Final Four appearances and one national championship at the school, likely ending a career that earned him a spot in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013. Tom Jurich, Louisville’s athletic director since 1997, was

placed on paid administrative leave as well. Greg Postel, the school’s interim president, said at a news conference Wednesday that both men were informed Tuesday of the school’s decision. Louisville is moving cautiously because of the language in the contracts of Pitino and Jurich. Pitino’s deal says he must be given 10 days’ written notice of his termination, which can be decided only by a vote of the Louisville athletic department’s board of directors, and that Pitino must be allowed to “present evidence” in his defense. Depending on the cause of his dismissal, Jurich might have to be given 30 days’ notice of his dismissal, according to WRDB.com of Louisville.

But the school’s intention is clear: Pitino is out. The coach’s attorney, Steve Pence, told the Courier-Journal of Louisville that Pitino was “effectively fired.” When asked at the news conference if he was “cleaning house,” Postel said “that’s effectively what we’re doing.” J. David Grissom, chairman of the Louisville Board of Trustees, said the board unanimously supported Postel’s decision to take action. Though Pitino was unnamed in the legal complaint that stems from a years-long FBI investigation, one of the government’s allegations against Louisville is believed to center on an incoming

recruit named Brian Bowen, who surprised many (including Pitino) when he announced his commitment to the Cardinals in June. A c c ord i n g to t h e c o m plaint, Bowen agreed to attend the school only after an Adidas executive named Jim Gatto promised his family $100,000. Last month, Louisville announced a new 10-year, $160 million deal with Adidas. Postel said Wednesday that an unnamed player, believed to be Bowen, would be withheld from team activities. Postel also said that the school would work to install an interim coach and athletic director “within 48 hours.” MATT BONESTEEL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

When Alex Mills has a day off, he gets to be himself — something that doesn’t happen very often. The 28-year-old actor has taken on many forms on stages all over the D.C. area: the contortionist Loki in this summer’s “Wig Out!” at Studio Theatre, a boarding school student in Signature Theatre’s “Shakespeare’s R&J” and more than a handful of starring roles at Synetic Theatre, including his Helen Hayes Awardnominated turn as Puck in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” He’ll next appear as Peter in Synetic’s “The Adventures of Peter Pan,” which opens Oct. 18. The Fredericksburg, Va., resident often ends up in the city, so that’s where he’s spending this “fun and leisurely, very self-indulgent day.” You’re talking to an actor here, so I’m sleeping in. Depending on your show or rehearsal, you might get out at 11 p.m., and then you want to have a night, too. Really, I think my day off starts the previous night, going out with some of the cast. A lot of that decompression time after the show is super-important. We

work at night, so we still want to have a night out — it’s just a later night out than everybody else. So we’d go out, for example, to Stoney’s to get some drinks, get a grilled cheese and chat and gossip. We’ll go easy and say I’m waking up at 11 a.m.; then let’s stroll to brunch somewhere.

After that, you’re gonna take a nap, especially if you’ve been brunching before. So then you regroup and go to dinner. I would go to minibar. It’s that gastronomical experiencetype thing. I went one time, and it’s like $250 per person, but it’s like a 24-plate-plus meal. It was everything. If I could afford to do that all the time, I would. Then I would like to see a friend’s show at night. I’d see “In the Heights” at Olney Theatre Center. There are some Broadway people that were in the original production that are here for it. My friend [and “Wig Out!” castmate] Melissa [Victor] is in it, too. I think that is gonna be a big hit in D.C. It’s nice to be out and to be supporting the community that you’re a part of.

weekendpass SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

Though rowhouses long ago replaced the pastures that once surrounded President Lincoln’s Cottage, the Gothic Revival mansion is still in the middle of nowhere. The cottage stands a mile from the Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station, so I attempted to bike there from my home in Southeast D.C. That didn’t go well. Due to faulty Google directions that would have had me scaling locked gates, I ended up walking a half-mile on the narrow shoulder of North Capitol Street, screaming in terror every time a car whizzed by. By the time I arrived at the cottage, I was a sweaty, frazzled mess. My woes, of course, pale in comparison to President Lincoln’s. When he moved into the cottage in the summer of 1862, the Civil War was raging and the president was reeling from the recent death of his 11-year-old son Willie. That’s according to the tour guide — let’s call her Sue — whom I met at the visitor center across the street from the cottage. To see the inside of the cottage, you have to pay $15 for a guided tour, she said. So I paid up and joined a group of 11 other tourists. Sue led us to the massive doors of the cottage. “This isn’t really what you think of when you hear ‘cottage,’ is it?” she said. “I thought it was going to be a log cabin,” a British woman said. Our guide explained that the log cabin where Lincoln’s parents lived is in Illinois. This mini mansion, on the other

hand, was where the president escaped the oppressive summer heat of downtown D.C. It was also meant to be his personal retreat, an early Camp David where he could take a break from his demanding job. Unfortunately, his view from the cottage was of a massive military cemetery, which was filling up with the bodies of dead Union soldiers. “He could have witnessed 30 to 40 burials a week right from this front door,” Sue said. Sue led us into the first room of the house, which was empty except for a stovepipe hat hung on a pegboard. Other rooms were similarly bare, with just a smattering of furniture or the odd personal effect. “The Lincolns must have been early adopters of the KonMari decluttering method,” I said. “We like to think of ourselves as a museum of ideas,” Sue replied, explaining that by the time preservationists got control of Lincoln’s cottage — which was used as a dorm for the adjacent Old Soldiers’ Home and even served as a bar in the 1970s and ’80s — there wasn’t much in the way of original furniture lying around. Instead of filling the cottage with reproductions, they devised a tour where guides help visitors populate the rooms using their imaginations. We walked onto a veranda where Sue said that on a clear day, the Lincolns had another disheartening vista: the halffinished Capitol building and the stump of the Washington Monument. Work on both stalled due to the war, Sue said. If that wasn’t depressing enough, a constant stream of

visitors hassled the Lincolns at the cottage. At one point, a British tourist showed up at Lincoln’s doorstep and demanded a meeting, apparently for his own entertainment, Sue said. Lincoln obliged, but he didn’t bother to change out of his bedroom slippers, which the tourist apparently found shocking and a bit rude. Then Sue launched into a story about another visitor. Gesturing to a few chairs and a table in the otherwise empty room, she set the scene: “Mr. Lincoln sits down in a rocking chair and picks up a newspaper. He has had a very long day. All he wants to do is relax. Just as he is about to do that, he hears a knock at the door. It’s Colonel Scott, and he has a favor to ask.” A voice boomed from wallmounted speakers. “I was sick with fever in Virginia and my wife came from New Hampshire to care for me. We boarded a steamer. She collided with another ship.

Lincoln’s Cottage pro tip: Consider taking an Uber, and bring your imagination.. My noble wife and dozens and others drowned,” Colonel Scott — or rather, an actor playing him — said. The officer beseeched Lincoln to help him recover his wife’s body, and another voice actor gave Lincoln’s reply. “Am I to have no rest? Why do you follow me out here with such business as this?” This was a refreshing moment for me. Here was Lincoln acting churlish, and reasonably so, which is a welcome break from the saintly, patient Lincoln that you usually hear about. After sleeping on it, Lincoln sent the officer a telegram, apologizing for “being a brute” and offering his help, Sue said, to my disappointment.

My favorite part of the tour was toward the end, in the room that once served as Lincoln’s library. Here we didn’t have to use our imaginations quite so much, because the bookshelves that once lined the room had left marks on the wood-paneled walls. “The pine walls are original. Go ahead and touch them,” Sue said. “Maybe Mr. Lincoln touched them in the same spot.” We all pressed our hands to the walls and imagined shelves filled with books beloved by the president. It was in here, reading to his youngest son, that Lincoln was finally able to take a break from his many worries, Sue said. As the tour wound up, I felt a little dissatisfied at not having seen more objects from the great president’s life, things that he touched and used. I suppose, however, that the cottage itself is one big artifact, a place where you can imagine walking in Lincoln’s shoes — or, even better, his bedroom slippers.

Nick Blacka and the guys in GoGo Penguin do jazz their way “I don’t know what the motivation is to come to the gigs. … Maybe they just want to see a band with a silly name.” NICK BLACKA, bassist for GoGo Penguin, on his British jazz trio’s American audiences

he’s not afraid to break them, which is quite refreshing.” For example, on the trio’s fourth album, due in February, they’re experimenting further with effects. Illingworth has a new pedal board that lets him play a note or chord and freeze it so he can play over it. (Blacka has one, too.) GoGo Penguin will play a few of the new songs during a headlining show Thursday at The Hamilton. “There’s one untitled song that’s got this heavy bass thing and there’s a crazy section in the middle with this arpeggiated piano that’s almost like replicating a synth pattern,” Blacka says. “That one seems to be going down incredibly well.” For Blacka, the path to joining

the group seems hilariously circular in retrospect. Before GoGo Penguin was even an idea, Blacka befriended drummer Rob Turner and started gigging with him regularly in 2005 in jazz, hip-hop and folk bands. A couple of years later, he met Illingworth and started playing in his trio, where he replaced bassist Grant Russell. By 2012, Turner, Illingworth and Russell had joined forces (without Blacka) as GoGo Penguin and released the album “Fanfares.” By the end of the year, Blacka was hired — again — to replace Russell. “It’s really bad,” Blacka says of replacing Russell twice. “Funnily enough, he’s like, ‘There’s no hard feelings.’ Certainly not toward me, anyway.” Besides, because Blacka was friends with Illingworth and Turner, he was a natural fit. “When they recorded the first demo, [Turner] immediately sent it to me to see what I thought and I really liked it,” he says. “I really got what they were doing.”

MUSIC GoGo Penguin bassist Nick Blacka still seems perplexed when audiences show up to see his Manchester, England, jazz trio in America. “I don’t know what the motivation is to come to the gigs sometimes because [people] will say, ‘I’ve not heard of you,’ ” Blacka says. “Maybe they just want to see a band with a silly name. I don’t know.” Whatever brings people to a GoGo Penguin show, they seem to leave having enjoyed it, Blacka says: “It’s nice seeing that discovery thing for them.” One possible draw: Unlike some instrumental jazz trios, GoGo Penguin shirks tradition, fusing the elements of jazz with classical influences and the charging, repetitive beats of electronica — but it’s all played on stand-up double bass, drums and acoustic piano. (It’s best heard on last year’s “Man Made Object” album.) “I’m much more from a jazz background,” Blacka says. “Chris [Illingworth] is a classical pianist, so he has different ways of looking at music.

When dabbed with even a microscopic amount of the Jamaican-hot-pepper condiment, the fish will ignite into a full-throated bite, the heat acting as a muffler for the dish’s sweeter, tarter flavors. You can practically plot the history of the West African nation with chef Binette Seck’s menu: The beignets are remnants of French colonialism (though they’re more savory than the pastries you’ll find in the French Quarter). The nems — spring rolls — are a faint echo of Vietnam (courtesy of the Senegalese soldiers who married Vietnamese women after the first Indochina war). Then there are the many African accents, such as rice and fish, staple ingredients in Senegalese cooking.

Part of this is because of the Gateway Arts District, which was hatched in the early 2000s to revitalize the Rhode Island Avenue NE corridor and spans the Maryland communities of Mount Rainier, Brentwood, North Brentwood and Hyattsville. It includes public-private partnerships that offer below-market rents and studio space to artists, as well as standard units at market prices. Now, the revitalization effort is paying off. “I feel like the last year has been huge,” says Mike Franklin, who opened what is now Franklins Restaurant, Brewery and General Store in 1992, when many nearby storefronts were empty. “There’s a critical mass [of new businesses] now, and it’s a different kind of dynamic.” Here are a few ways to explore the revamped Hyattsville.

In June, Pyramid Atlantic celebrated its first year as an “anchor” of Hyattsville’s portion of the Gateway Arts District. The arts center, founded in 1981, called Silver Spring home from 2002 until early 2016, and if a plan to take over a space in the renovated Silver Spring Library hadn’t gone awry, it might still be in Montgomery County. But when Pyramid Atlantic, known for its expertise in printing and bookbinding arts, became a free agent, “we were courted by Hyattsville,” executive director Kate Taylor Davis says. To get to the gallery in Pyramid Atlantic’s 19th-century building — formerly home to a church, bowling alley and movie theater — you walk through a working art factory and past letterpress machines, screenprinting screens, bookbinding presses and darkrooms. The gallery, on the second level, is a beautiful space, with soaring ceilings, picturesque brick arches and sections of crumbling plaster. Pyramid is home to its own artistic community, offering 150 public classes each year and with about 50 artists in residence, many of them makers. “One of the things we want to do is get louder,” Davis says. “We want to be a hub for experiencing art in all its forms,” whether that’s painting, printing or live music.

After almost 25 years in the center of Hyattsville, Franklins is such a fixture that locals use its prominent neon sign as a landmark. Mike and Debbie Franklin opened a deli and general store in 1992 and then, a decade later, opened a full-service restaurant and Prince George’s County’s first brewpub in the adjacent building. The sprawling general store is still the best place in the Washington area to shop for a birthday or housewarming gift: Where else will you find oven mitts shaped like Darth Vader’s gloves, Edgar Allan Poe bandages, penny candy and walls of hot sauce and craft beer? At the restaurant, there are 20 house-made beers on tap, and brewer Mike Roy’s specialties are on trend: hoppy IPAs and tart, fruited sour ales, such as the blackberry-based Bramble Blast. Franklin says the biggest change over time has been “a kid population boom in Hyattsville.” They’ve upgraded the kids menu to make it healthier — grilled chicken and a salmon fillet have joined the expected fried chicken tenders and burgers — and “there’s a contingent of kids who love the mussels,” he says. “I love that.”

The seeds of contention New neighbors cross the line of civility in the play ‘Native Gardens’

Chicano Batman 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Wed., 7 p.m., $20.

L.A.-based band Chicano Batman is influenced by Latin music, but not in the Ricky Martin sense. The quartet pulls from obscure, organ-driven ’70s Latin funk, Tropicalia, soul and more. “A lot of the music we listen to is stuff that, if you were a hip-hip producer, you’d want to sample,” says guitarist Carlos Arevalo, above. Ahead of a 9:30 Club show, he shared three songs that popped into his head. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) DAN NORMAN PHOTOS

STAGE Karen Zacarias has never gotten into a fight with her neighbors. But nowadays everybody is coming up to her and telling her about their neighbor feuds. “Someone told me that her neighbor had stabbed her father over shrubbery,” says Zacarias, the writer of “Native Gardens,” which opened this month at Arena Stage. “She said watching my play gave her PTSD!” Things don’t get quite that violent in Zacarias’ play. The comedy takes place entirely in the Northwest D.C. backyards of two neighboring families: Tania and Pablo, a Latinx couple who are new to the city and have a baby on the way; and Frank and Virginia, white empty nesters with a prize-winning garden and no idea what “Latinx” means. When the young couple discover that their property line actually extends right over the neighbors’ pristine flower bed, an initially mild squabble ends with the grown adults lobbing acorns — and racially tinged insults — across the fence. Zacarias, a native of Mexico who has lived in D.C. since 1991, got the idea for the play after a dinner party where guests traded horror stories about feuds with their neighbors. “As I was going home, I thought, ‘Wow, in a way, almost every single fight — internationally, locally, whatever — is about these things,” Zacarias says. “They’re about what your place is in the world and culture.” The play, like the characters’ fight, isn’t really about grass, of course: The garden becomes an excuse for the couples to clash over “touchier subjects like class, race, ageism and white privilege,” Zacarias says. In the show, Zacarias’ white characters learn they have literally been

Clockwise from top: Pablo and Tania (Dan Domingues and Jacqueline Correa) greet Virginia and Frank (Sally Wingert and Steve Hendrickson); Frank decides to spray it, not say it; Frank and Virginia shed light on a problem.

Secret garden Karen Zacarias will tell you that “Native Gardens” takes place in Northwest D.C., but that’s as specific as she’ll get. “I’m not going to tell you which neighborhood it is,” she says. “I want everyone who lives in Northwest to think it could take place in their neighborhood.” Elements of the story will be familiar to residents of most D.C. neighborhoods; for example, two characters have jobs at Lockheed Martin and the General Services Administration, and they poke fun at “hippy-dippy Takoma Park.” “Most D.C. plays are about the president or the Supreme Court, not about the longtime residents who live here,” Zacarias says. “The ability to laugh about ourselves and celebrate the things that are unique about our city is important.” L.M.

stealing land from people of color, but that’s not the only way the garden is used as a stand-in for a bigger fight. The play’s title refers to the type of garden that Tania hopes to cultivate in her yard, full of Mid-Atlantic plants that are more environmentally

friendly than Frank’s classic garden of peonies and hydrangeas. “So Tania has a problem with my plants because they are … immigrant plants?” Frank asks. Despite the odds, “Native Gardens” has a happy ending, and Zacarias hopes audiences walk

away remembering that we could all use a little civility when discussing our differences. As she puts it, “We’d be better off if we thought about what it takes to be a good neighbor.” But before that, the show is a bit like watching a boxing match. “The audience feedback and reaction and all of that is part of what makes the play work or not work,” Zacarias says. “The whole audience goes ‘oooh.’ It’s hilarious to get that kind of response out of a respectable, staid theater audience, which I’m trying to make less respectable and more fun.” LORI MCCUE (EXPRESS)

Arevalo calls this 10-minute song from 1977 “the most unlikely guitar jam” because of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd’s clean tones. “It had a big influence on me,” he says. “Playing clean, not hiding behind a bunch of distortion.”

‘Dern Kala’ Khruangbin

Chicano Batman is touring with Khruangbin, a trio that’s also influenced by music from the past: ’60s Thai funk. ”It’s amazing melodic guitar playing,” Arevalo says of this 2015 song. “Mark [Speer], the guitarist, is doing some really creative things.”

‘Fantastic Man’ William Onyeabor

Arevalo likes this catchy, onceforgotten track from the Nigerian keyboardist, who died this year. “That song is cool because the lyrics are about how this man is talking to his lady; he’s like, ‘You never compliment me,’ and then in the chorus, she finally does.”

Where eagles fly BYLINE (SOURCE)

dock area, and then they land in trees behind you to eat the fish,” she says. You don’t need professional equipment to capture the moment, Gomola adds. “The eagle will be 30 yards away from you eating his fish, so even a point-and-shoot camera can get a good photo,” he says. After about 4 p.m., the daylight gets too dim for high-speed photography, Mitchell says, so that’s a good time to trade your camera for binoculars and just take in the scene. The setting sun bathes the valley in golden light, and the eagles talk among themselves. “A lot of people think eagles screech, but the sound they make is more like a giggle. It’s cuter than anything,” Mitchell says.

Wake up early. Arrive before dawn to stake out a spot along the overlook. The parking lot at nearby Fisherman’s Park opens an hour before sunrise and stays open an hour after sunset. Come equipped. Bring binoculars and a camera, ideally one with a long lens or a solid optical zoom. You’ll also want to pack extra batteries for your camera. Pack food and water. There are restrooms and picnic tables near the overlook, but no vending machines.

near miraculous experience.” The great number of birds brings in a huge number of wildlife photographers, who wake up before dawn to stake out the best spots on the walkway overlooking the river. Even when it gets crowded, the atmosphere stays collegial, with professional photographers often giving advice to the amateurs during the lulls between feeding frenzies, Gomola says. “I think one of the neatest things is that you meet all these people from all over the world, and you all have this mutual interest you want to talk about,” Gomola says. Many people show up with two cameras: one set up on a tripod with a long lens, and another handheld camera for close-up shots, Mitchell says. “The eagles like to hang out on the rocks on the far side of the river, but they will come in and grab a fish closer to the fishing

Be prepared to wait. The dam releases water a few times a day, depending on the river level and power demand, which means there are often long lulls between feeding frenzies. You can call the Conowingo Dam info line (888-457-4076) after 5 p.m. for the next day’s operating schedule, but the times frequently change. Don’t hassle the wildlife. It’s hard not to get excited when an eagle flies near you, but try to keep your voice down or you might scare it away. S.D.

BIRDING A bald eagle dives toward a glint of silver in the Susquehanna River. It leans back, spreads its wings like a drag chute and snatches a wriggling fish from the water. With a few flaps of its massive wings, the eagle is high in the air again, but not high enough to avoid being divebombed by another hungry eagle. Startled, the first eagle drops the fish which, just before hitting the water’s surface, is snatched by a third eagle, which lands in a nearby tree and gulps down its sashimi lunch. Wildlife photographer Emily Carter Mitchell photographed this spectacular scene last year at the Conowingo Dam in Darlington, Md., but you don’t have to be a professional shutterbug to capture the avian action. Each fall, upward of 150 bald eagles gather at the hydroelectric dam and fight over fish that have been temporarily stunned after

tumbling through the turbines. “We call them floaters,” Mitchell says. “All the eagles have to do is pick them up out of the water.” Sounds simple, but Pennsylvania-based photographer Dan Gomola has witnessed as many

as nine eagles fighting over a single fish. “That’s what you’re hoping to see — when the eagles get into a skirmish in the air, those are the coolest photographs,” he says. “People think of bald eagles as

such noble birds, but they are thieves.” The Conowingo Dam, located about a 90-minute drive from D.C., is well known among birdwatchers and photographers as the best place east of the

Mississippi River to see bald eagles, Gomola says. Eagles that nest in more northerly places begin congregating at the dam in late October as their summer fishing territories freeze over, and their numbers increase steadily through January, when they begin to return north to nest, says Nicholas Lund, a birder on the DC Audubon Society’s board of directors. “In the winter, eagles aren’t territorial because they aren’t defending any nests,” Lund says. “They are just out for themselves, so wherever there’s a lot of food, you can get these big aggregations that you’d never see in the summer.” Spotting one eagle is pretty awesome, but seeing a hundred is spectacular, Lund adds. “They are such an impressive bird,” he says. “They have huge talons, they have huge beaks, and that strong, angry brow.

5 Whisked!

4 Pollystyle Pollystyle’s honey graham crackers are a far, far cry from the comfortingly bland preschool snack. Like, so far that you can’t even hear the cry anymore. Made in D.C. from ingredients that are actually recognizable as food (things like “butter” and “wheat flour”), they have a satisfying, cinnamon-flecked crunch and a heavy hint of brown sugar. The only question remaining is how to make s’mores in your car.

If you’re the kind of person who laughs at little cookies or mocks single-stuf Oreos, you’re in luck. Whisked! cookies, out of D.C., weigh in at over 2 ounces per CD-size round. The Pretzel Cowboy Cowb cookie ki — stuffed with pretzels, chocolate and cranberries to form the flavor combination you didn’t know your life needed — has an oatmeal base, so therefore it must be healthy (right?). The Salty Oatmeal (clearly also healthy) is a crispy, crumbly salty-sweet one-two punch; the snickerdoodle has a chewy heft that should slow you down so you don’t pound the whole bag. Operative word being “should.”

In “Trophy,” rhino breeder John Hume describes how he cuts off the horns to dissuade poachers.

‘Trophy’ You might not expect “Trophy,” a documentary about big game hunting, to present both sides of the story — how can there even be two sides when one side has big guns that they sometimes use to kill endangered species? The film proves the issue is more nuanced: There’s the lifelong hunter who treats every animal he kills with a respect bordering on the sacred; there’s the preservationist who works with hunters, using their fees to support his larger efforts. Behind it all is an examination not only of the morality of hunting, but of a new kind of colonialism and even capitalism itself. No matter what side you’re on, only the most closed-minded viewers won’t find themselves challenged by what they see. Just be aware: Some of the images are disturbing. But sometimes that’s just how reality is. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Fri. through Oct. 5, $10-$13.

Kicking off the movie portion is “Ghost Hunting,” a documentary about Palestinian men brought together to try to reconstruct the horrors of their captivity in an Israeli interrogation center. Another highlight: Director Cherien Dabis (“Amreeka”), the festival’s spotlight artist, will give a talk about the representation of Palestinians on screen. Various locations; Oct. 5-8,

Please put down your popcorn before commencing the headbanging that will ensue during “Black Sabbath: The End of the End.” The documentary about the legendary metal band focuses on the final concert of “The End” tour, which wrapped up earlier this year. It’s more than a concert film, though, because members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler all offer thoughts and insight into what is arguably the daddy (or granddaddy?) of all metal bands. It’s a one-night-only chance to see a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Engaging with conflict The American University Museum is simultaneously hosting a second Middle Eastern art exhibit, “Between Two Rounds of Fire, The Exile of the Sea,” featuring works by 24 modern and contemporary Arab artists from the private collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation in the United Arab Emirates. The exhibit, open through Dec. 17, examines violence and conflict, both literal and metaphysical. Curator Karim Sultan has brought together pieces by established art figures including Etel Adnan, Walid Raad and Mona Hatoum with works by artists less known outside the region. For example, the 20th-century avant-garde Iraqi painter Shakir Hassan Al Said — whose 1983 work “The Victorious” is inspired by deconstructionism and Sufism — is “definitely an artist who deserves more attention,” Sultan says.

traditionally worn by some Muslim women. Perhaps not surprising for an exhibit that foregrounds identity and self-expression, some of the most powerful pieces take the form of self-portraits or portraits of women. Moroccan-born Lalla Essaydi’s

EXHIBITS “I so much believe in the positive contributions that women are making in the Middle East,” says Janet Rady, curator of “I Am,” a recently opened exhibit at the American University Museum featuring works by 31 female artists with roots in 12 countries in the region. “They’re not all behind burqas, chained to the kitchen sink, not allowed out without their husbands, you know.” “I Am,” a traveling exhibition that has already stopped in Amman, Jordan, and London, aims to challenge such stereotypes and shatter misconceptions of Middle Eastern women through photographs, paintings and mixedmedia works that reflect their varied life experiences. “If anyone has a stereotype of the Middle East, one of the strongest stereotypes is related to women,” says the Rev. PaulGordon Chandler, founder and president of Caravan, the nonprofit organization behind the exhibit. “We hope the exhibition becomes an encounter point ... with the goal of changing and broadening horizons.” Through the range of works, the organizers seek to reveal the diversity of Middle Eastern

women’s experiences, and to confront Western assumptions that women in the region are all oppressed and living in conflict zones. “These days, you look at the media, the reports coming out of the Middle East, [women having agency] is possibly the last thing that you think about when you see these pictures of, say, Yemen,” Rady says. Chandler, an American Episcopal priest who was formerly based in Cairo, began Caravan in 2009 to build bridges and promote peace between the Middle East and the West, as well as between different faith communities, through artistic dialogue. The artists featured in “I Am” — most of whom created work specifically for the exhibit — have Muslim and Christian backgrounds and represent much of the Arab world, along with Iran. Two artists, Helen Zughaib and Manal Deeb — both of Palestinian heritage — live in the D.C. area. Deeb’s compelling mixedmedia piece “Golden” shows a woman’s face, streaked by drips of paint and juxtaposed with a burst of Arabic letters. Zughaib’s quieter work in ink, “The Secrets They Carry,” repeatedly traces the Arabic saying “There are many secrets hidden under the abaya” against a black-and-white outline of the robe-like garment

Visitors are invited to contribute photos or written thoughts or memories of their mothers and attach them to the 40-foot-long canvas wall to serve as a tribute to mothers everywhere. In addition, Ono’s “Sky TV for Washington, DC” (1966), a 24-hour live feed of the sky outside, has been reinstalled on the museum’s third level, through Sept. 30; “Ai Weiwei: Trace at Hirshhorn”: An installation that portrays activists, advocates of free speech and prisoners of conscience in 176 portraits composed of thousands of Lego blocks. The work centers on the artist’s personal experience in 2011, in which he was detained by the Chinese government and kept under surveillance for 81 days and then prohibited from traveling abroad for four years, through Jan. 1. Seventh Street and Independence Avenue SW.

entertainment Q+A | DEMI LOVATO

The grind won’t keep her down

All is fair in the war to claim the must-see movie

People were really impressed with your performance during the Lionel Richie tribute at the 2016 Grammys. Do you feel like respect for you grew after that? I definitely think that I’ve gained more respect as a vocalist and an artist. I feel like I got recognition from my first Grammys performance — and I was so nervous. I was like, “This is my opportunity to show people why I deserve to be here.” … I just left it all on the stage and I feel like that led to people listening to my album, then leading to the Grammy nomination, and then [to] the performance the next year. How do you make sure negativity online doesn’t ruin your day? There are certain things said online — or even the other day I had someone say something in person that was really rude. But I’m so sure of who I am, and so sure of my talent, and so sure of the person that I was raised

to be, and the person that I’ve grown into that I don’t let that stuff affect me anymore. And I think I was insecure with my music, and the success of my music, whenever I was dealing with the negative press, and I let it get to me. Whereas after that Grammy nomination it was like, “No, look at your talent. You’re recognized for it. Cherish that.” The song “Daddy Issues” is deep, but the track is upbeat. What was it like recording that song? Daddy issues is something that I’ve definitely had with the relationship with my birth father and it affects me to this day — you know, the way that I have relationships with people. I wanted to write about that because I feel like a lot of people can relate. … And so I thought it would be kind of fun to have an upbeat pop song

AP AND THINKSTOCK/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

Just before making her sixth album, Demi Lovato was rethinking her singing career. What helped her refuel? Her first Grammy nomination. Though she lost the best pop vocal album trophy to Adele’s “25” this year, she says it helped her find her groove on “Tell Me You Love Me,” her new album out Friday. Here, the 25-year-old vocalist discusses new tracks, her biggest goals and keeping up — or not — with the music charts. MESFIN FEKADU (AP)

that’s kind of ironic that it would be about such a heavy subject. Do you pay attention to the Billboard charts? I don’t, and here’s the reason why: I used to look at the Billboard charts when it was more important. And as time has gone on … there’s so many charts that you could be No. 1 in one, and No. 10 in another. Only asking because we’ve seen men dominate in the last two years. Have you noticed that? Timing is everything. … I don’t think it’s for a specific reason. I don’t think it’s sexism or anything like that. … Ariana [Grande]’s not putting out

music right now. Adele’s not putting out music right now. Taylor [Swift] just released her song. Rihanna is not putting out music right now, so it’s just a matter of timing. What are some of your goals? My biggest goal in my career would be to win a Grammy. That is my ultimate music goal. I think I would love to do a residency in Vegas at some point. … I think that I want to tour the world next year. I want to get back into acting. But for my life goals, it’s having a family, it’s being happy on my own when I don’t have a family yet. It’s staying true to who I am, staying sober and staying in recovery.

TELEVISION

The number of first-time TV series directors in the 2016-17 season who were ethnic minorities, or 25 percent — up from 24 (15 percent) in the preceding season, according to a Directors Guild of America study. The 73 female first-time directors hired in 2016-17 represented 32 percent of incoming directors, compared with 38 (24 percent) the season before. “Our research shows that when employers actually do the work of being inclusive, they find talented directors who overwhelmingly succeed in establishing longer-term careers,” guild president Thomas Schlamme said. (AP) Meghan McCain to join “The View” as regular co-host beginning in early October

PERSPECTIVE Although 2017 has been a dispiriting year at the box office so far, films like “Get Out,” “Wonder Woman,” “Dunkirk” and “It” have broken through to become pop-cultural talkers. But can a must-see movie be manufactured after the fact? Darren Aronofsky’s audacious horror film “Mother!” is trying to position itself as so controversial that one has to see it to partake in the cultural conversation. But it tanked with audiences: “Mother!” opened with an F on CinemaScore, possibly for its graphic climax. Paramount, the film’s studio, defended its transgressive elements: “Everyone wants original filmmaking, and everyone celebrates Netflix when they tell a story no one else wants to tell. This is our version. We don’t want all movies to be safe. And it’s OK if some people don’t like it.” Few need reminding that this is a fraught and fractious time for legacy studios. Netflix and Amazon have aggressively scooped up films at festivals, assuring filmmakers they’ll reach their widest, most receptive audiences with algorithms and user information. Amazon even promises a theatrical release. Despite hopes for generating the kind of controversy that puts tushies in seats, “Mother!” might run afoul of the new realities governing an industry hinging as much on managing expectations as on must-see phenoms.

trending “But what the Scaramucci Post is ultimately going to be is a world-class experience.” ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI, in a Twitter video talking about his news site venture, The Scaramucci Post. The former White House communications director describes the site as the “center lane in a two-lane highway” and says it will focus on “what is right and wrong ... as opposed to what is left and right.” Its tagline is: “Everything in moderation, including moderation.” People had some feedback for “The Mooch.” @JohnGHendy tweeted sarcastically, “Support real journalism. Subscribe to The Scaramucci Post today,” and @stevemochel offered up: “BTW — there can’t be a center lane in a two lane highway.”

“If Justin Timberlake can be allowed back on that Superbowl stage, so should Janet Jackson.” @MORGANKYO_, tweeting about reports that Justin Timberlake is in final talks to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. The singer has not been seen on that stage since the infamous 2004 “Nipplegate” incident with Janet Jackson. There have been claims over the years that Jackson has been blacklisted from the halftime show, and some people don’t think it’s fair for Timberlake to perform without her.

DIFFICULT

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may be feeling out of sorts as the day begins, wondering just how you’re going to make it through. Help comes from a surprising source. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) All sorts of people are paying attention to you right now, even if you aren’t aware of it. You have much to offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You don’t want to be working with facts and figures, but rather with ideas that can grow and lead you to someplace new and exciting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may feel trapped by practicalities today, but wait until you are struck with an idea that changes everything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may have to report on past activities and explain your motives to those in charge. This may be a golden opportunity in disguise.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll come to an important understanding of certain trends — but you won’t yet be able to make the changes that you’ve imagined. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may have to talk to many people to gather a consensus about what is happening that affects you both directly and indirectly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will

have to trust your skills and instincts, even though they may not be as finely honed as you might have hoped. Progress can be made.

TODAY: Our winds pick up, ironically, just as Maria meanders farther off the coast. That’s because the cold front moving through has a strong breeze of its own, at 15-20 mph from the northwest, with gusts near 30 mph. The humidity plummets as dew points quickly fall, with cooler highs in the mid- to upper 70s.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have started to think about some basic things in a very different way — and others are beginning to notice. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have several options open to you, but only one or two may be viable now. You have to marry needs with desires.

MISSING OUT

Kourtney and Kendall didn’t get the memo

Area boyfriend off the market Kit Harington and his former “Game of Thrones” on-screen love interest, Rose Leslie, are engaged. A formal notice published in the Times of London newspaper Wednesday announced the upcoming marriage of “Mr. K.C. Harington and Miss R.E. Leslie.” It described the couple as “Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughter of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire.” (AP)

Khloe Kardashian and Cleveland Cavaliers player Tristan Thompson are expecting their first child together, insiders revealed to several tabloids. “They are absolutely thrilled,” a source told People. “It’s only been in just the past week or so that they’ve felt comfortable telling most of their inner circle.” The news comes after reports surfaced late last week claiming that Kardashian’s half sister, 20-year-old Kylie Jenner, is pregnant and due in February. Sister Kim Kardashian West and her husband, Kanye West, are also reportedly expecting their third child together, via a surrogate. The Kardashian family has yet to confirm any of these reports.

“I dropped off Malia at college, and I was saying to Joe and Jill [Biden] that it was a little bit like openheart surgery.”

Tom Cruise responded to a viral tweet from August that insisted he wore a fake butt in his 2008 film “Valkyrie.” “There was no prosthetic in ‘Valkyrie,’ no,” Cruise told Screen Rant on Tuesday. He added that a scene in his new film, “American Made,” that features his behind also uses his real butt. “It’s not CGI, it’s me,” he said. “I do my own mooning in films. So let it be known — I do my own mooning.” (EXPRESS)
