D.C.’s straw cop is on patrol Inspector searches for restaurants still using the banned plastic

THROWBACK THURSDAY

02.01.2017

A look back at Express covers from this week in history: CALLA KESSLER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT Warning letters in hand, Zach Rybarczyk patrolled the food court at Union Station, looking for offenders.

Past Auntie Anne’s, past Johnny Rockets. At Lotus Express, Rybarczyk peeled the wrapper from a red straw and bent the end — the telltale giveaway. Plastic.

Washington has become one of at least 15 jurisdictions nationwide to ban plastic straws, and it’s up to Rybarczyk, an inspector for the D.C. Department of Energy and Environment, to enforce the new law.

The straw cop left the rattled cashier at Lotus Express with a warning that if the store was still using plastic straws by July, when a grace period expires, it could be fined up to $800.

Plastic straws are the newest target of environmentalists trying to reduce the millions of tons of plastic that ends up in trees and waterways.

City officials estimate that plastic straws make up less than 1 percent of the trash in

the Anacostia and Potomac rivers. Still, their thin design makes them too small for most recycling machinery, so they end up in trash and ultimately in waterways. Volunteers collected 10,000 plastic straws during the Potomac River Watershed Cleanup in April.

At Union Station during the first week of January, when the ban took effect, many dining spots on the main level had

already switched to compostable straws. But in the basement food court, Rybarczyk drew some blank stares from cashiers.

At Lotus Express, the inspector scribbled the restaurant’s name on the paper sleeve of the plastic straw and tucked it into his back pocket, along with two others from scofflaw restaurants.

“Obviously, there will be some holdouts until July, when we start

issuing fines,” said Rybarczyk, who keeps a metal straw for his personal use in his backpack.

At Sakura Japan, Rybarczyk explained the new rules to a cashier as a man waiting for his lunch looked on in disgust.

“What, is this California now?” grumbled the customer.

“Everything is getting taken away from us, man.” FENIT NIRAPPIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

On Jan. 31, 2017, newly inaugurated President Trump announced Neil Gorsuch as his nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. President Obama had nominated Merrick Garland in March 2016 following Scalia’s death, but Senate Republicans refused to consider Obama’s nomination during an election year. Gorsuch was confirmed and took the oath of office on April 10, 2017.

D.C. region feels the freeze

COLLEGE PARK, MD.

U-Md. president to keep post until June 2020

REGION An Arctic front plunged into the Washington region on Wednesday, bringing bitterly cold temperatures on a day in which the federal government and several schools delayed openings because of slick conditions.

The winter weather is part of a system sweeping across a large swath of the country, from the Midwest to the East Coast.

Forecasters said more than 90 million people are expected to feel temperatures at or below zero over the next few days before the mercury rises later this week and into next week.

In the coldest places — the wind chill plunged to minus 60 in parts of Minnesota — severe cold and strong winds could cause nearinstant frostbite. Chicago faced its coldest day in a generation.

Temperatures weren’t quite as low in the nation’s capital, but it was enough to bring the city’s coldest weather of the season.

According to The Washington Post’s Capital Weather Gang, the temperature dropped 9 degrees in a 20-minute stretch Wednesday afternoon. The sudden drop prompted the National Weather Service to issue a special statement warning of a “flash freeze” as a snow squall line was barreling through the region.

A wind chill advisory was posted for this morning, when forecasters say temperatures

SALWAN GEORGES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Temperature expected to drop further today as Arctic blast continues

Temperatures in D.C. today are expected to reach the single digits, with wind chills making it feel like minus 10.

in the single digits and winds gusting to 30 mph will make it feel as cold as minus 10.

Many school districts closed for the day or delayed their openings by two hours, citing icy conditions and the severe cold.

On Wednesday morning, many commuters stayed home or teleworked because of the federal government’s delayed opening.

“With school delays and closures and many people doing unscheduled teleworking, that keeps volumes of folks off the road for today,” said Taran Hutchinson, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Area Transportation Operations Coordination.

Painter Joshua Martel scrutinized an abstract canvas he was

$60M

working on outside of Rooster & Owl, a not-yet-opened restaurant on 14th Street NW a few blocks north of U Street. He was flown in from South Lake Tahoe, Calif., by the owners to work on a mural.

Painting in freezing temperatures as the wind threatened to flatten the canvas wasn’t easy.

But for Martel, it was part of the process.

“I kind of like the cold,” he said. “What I like about the wind — even though I really hate it right now — it takes my drips and spreads them in different ways.”

Agencies throughout the D.C. region activated their cold emergency policies and increased services for the homeless. The District’s Homeland Security

agency warned that residents should “limit your time outdoors.” Officials also reminded residents to check on the elderly.

Transportation officials said they are worried about refreezing this morning. Their advice: Take your time.

According to the Capital Weather Gang, severely low temperatures are expected through Friday, with a possibility of light snow. Temperatures will begin to moderate this weekend, with Saturday’s high topping out in the low 40s and the high approaching 50 on Sunday. Winter’s chill will stay away into next week, with chances of rain and highs in the 50s.

MORE DELAYS FOR PURPLE LINE

The amount the contractor building Maryland’s Purple Line says it will cost to accelerate work on the delayed light-rail project, bringing potential cost overruns to almost $275 million. The rail line’s opening date also has slipped by another month, to March 31, 2023, which would put it more than a year behind schedule, the contractor said. The total of $274.6 million in additional costs that the contractor is seeking would add 11.4 percent to the project’s $2.4 billion construction budget. (TWP)

A MESSAGE FROM METRO GM/CEO

PAUL J. WIEDEFELD

Do you remember the last time you were offloaded from a train? I hope that’s been a rare occurrence for you in recent memory, as we’ve been working hard to improve Metro’s safety and reliability through our Back2Good program. In fact, Metrorail on-time performance in 2018 reached the highest level in seven years, while the number of insulator fire incidents dropped more than 66 percent compared to just two years prior.

These results wouldn’t have been possible without our preventive maintenance program, along with other improvements like the introduction of newer, better performing 7000-series railcars. As a result of these improvements, we introduced a new and improved Rush Hour Promise at the beginning of 2019. Now through June 30, Metro customers who experience a rush-hour delay of 10 minutes or more will receive a credit for future travel, even better than the 15-minute promise in 2018.

Please take a minute to read the Back2Good update on this page and learn more about Metro’s progress.

This continued improvement is thanks to the hard work of all our employees, as well as investments by our customers and funders. We will continue working hard to improve your commute in 2019.

For more information visit wmata.com/back2good

SAFETY Major crime on Metro last year dropped to the lowest level since 1999 Insulator fire incidents in 2018 dropped to lowest level in years – 66% fewer than 2016 Two major capital projects completed in late 2018: •

Completed first major reconstruction project for 40-year-old Yellow Line Bridge

•

Upgraded several switches that allow trains to change tracks at Reagan National Airport Station

RUSH HOUR PROMISE 89% of Metrorail rush-hour trips arrived on-time since the start of Rush Hour Promise Register your SmarTrip® card at wmata. com to be eligible for the Rush Hour Promise

SERVICE More new trains: 7000-series trains now make up more than 50 percent of the Metrorail fleet Doubled rush-hour service at four Red Line stations by eliminating the “Grosvenor Turnback” Work underway to install traffic signal priority technology on all 1,500 buses this year to speed up bus trips

STATIONS AND TUNNELS Cell service now available in more than half of Metro’s tunnels Brighter stations: New LED lighting installed in 15 stations, making them an average of 6x brighter. All 48 underground stations will receive lighting upgrades over 2-3 years

Metro employees joined together this month to give back to the communities they serve - filling up an entire bus with more than 8,000 pounds of food. That’s enough to provide 6,000 meals to families in need from across the region. Thanks to all our employees who donated food, as well as those who volunteered at the Capital Area Food Bank to weigh, sort and bag the donations!

Governor also stresses bipartisanship in his fifth State of State address MARYLAND Maryland’s improved financial climate means the state can afford more than $500 million in tax relief, Gov. Larry Hogan said Wednesday during his fifth State of the State speech, as he stressed the need for bipartisanship in the backdrop of divisiveness in

nearby Washington — comments that have fueled speculation he is considering a run for president.

Hogan touched on a variety of subjects in his speech to the General Assembly, including the environment, education, health care, opioid addiction and crime in Baltimore. But the Republican governor who entered his second term this month opened his speech by underscoring bipartisanship with a legislature controlled by Democrats. He

Guaido surfaces during walkout in Venezuela

FOOD RECALL

‘Blue rubber’ found inside Tyson nuggets

CARACAS, VENEZUELA Doctors in scrubs, businessmen in suits and construction workers in jeans gathered on the streets of Venezuela’s capital Wednesday, waving their nation’s flag and demanding that Nicolas Maduro step down from power in a walkout organized by the nation’s reinvigorated opposition to ratchet up pressure on the embattled president.

Protesters said they were heeding the opposition’s call for another mass demonstration despite the heavy-handed response by security forces over the last week to quell anti-government protests.

The latest walkout comes one week exactly after opposition leader Juan Guaido proclaimed himself the nation’s rightful president amid a sea of supporters, hurling the nation into a new chapter of political tumult as the anti-Maduro movement tries to establish a transitional government and the socialist leader clings to power.

“We are staying in the streets,” Guaido told students at a surprise appearance at the Central University of Venezuela. “Not just in protest of the crisis we are living in all of Venezuela, not just because of how bad things are, but also for the future.”

Opposition draws workers into streets to push Maduro out

Opposition leader Juan Guaido, center, joins student marchers in Caracas.

The turmoil has morphed into a larger geopolitical standoff as Maduro accuses the U.S. of orchestrating a coup by backing Guaido and enacting punishing oil sanctions while powerful Venezuela allies China and Russia continue to stand by the president.

Maduro huddled Wednesday with military troops, prayed with evangelical supporters and released a video urging the American people to rise up against Trump and support him as Venezuela’s rightful leader.

Maduro has been overseeing military training exercises broadcast on state TV on a near-daily basis in an apparent

attempt to show he still has the backing of the armed forces, whose support is key to either man’s claim to the presidency.

Guaido called on Venezuelans to take to the streets Wednesday holding signs stating “your reasons for fighting” and urging the armed forces to join them.

Among those protesting was Dr. Hugo Rosillo, who stood outside a children’s hospital just blocks from Maduro’s presidential palace. He said he and others were fed up with not being able to treat patients facing lifethreatening illnesses like cancer.

He said the hospital has turned into “a storeroom for cadavers.”

Tyson Foods is recalling more than 36,000 pounds of chicken nuggets after customers said they found pieces of “soft, blue rubber” inside. There were no reports of anyone getting sick. Tyson said the nuggets were shipped to distribution centers in Arizona, California, Illinois, New Jersey and Utah. A Tyson representative said the rubber came from a piece of equipment that got pinched and made its way into the blend used to make the nuggets. Earlier this week, Perdue Foods recalled chicken nuggets because of an undeclared allergen, milk. Perdue also recalled a batch of nuggets earlier this month because customers reported finding wood in the products. (AP)

‘Everything is on the table’ Lawmakers flash signs of flexibility but aren’t ready to budge on wall

The House Appropriations Committee opened a meeting Wednesday of House and Senate lawmakers trying to craft a border security compromise before a temporary funding measure expires on Feb. 15.

J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE PHOTOS (AP)

WASHINGTON Democrats in the House offered a border security plan Wednesday that would not provide a penny for President Trump’s border wall, ignoring — for now — an early-morning warning from the president that they’d be “wasting their time” if they don’t come up with wall money.

The Democratic offer is just a starting point in House-Senate talks on border security funding that kicked off in a basement room in the Capitol. A top Democrat acknowledged that “everything is on the table,” including the border barriers demanded

by Trump. Lawmakers on both sides flashed signs of flexibility, eager to demonstrate willingness to compromise in hopes of resolving the standoff with Trump that sparked the just-ended 35-day partial government shutdown.

The high-stakes talks are taking place against the backdrop of another possible shutdown in mid-February — an outcome Trump’s GOP allies in the Senate are especially eager to avoid.

But while Trump’s rhetoric has cooled, he’s proven to be an unpredictable force in the shutdown debate, often veering back to his original demands for the wall.

Lawmakers negotiating the bill are well aware that he could move to quash an agreement at any time, plunging them back

Lawmakers hope to craft a border funding agreement that will satisfy President Trump and avoid a second government shutdown.

into crisis.

Still, Trump’s request for $5.7 billion to build about 234 miles of barriers along the U.S. border with Mexico faces uphill odds. Even Trump’s GOP allies acknowledge he may only get a fraction of it. The Democratic

plan includes new money for customs agents, scanners, aircraft and boats to police the border, and to provide humanitarian assistance for migrants.

Senators revisited a bipartisan $1.6 billion proposal for 65 miles of fencing in the Rio Grande

Valley in Texas that passed a key committee last year. The panel of old-school lawmakers from the powerful appropriations committees has ample expertise on homeland security issues, as many of them helped finance fence built over the years that stretches across much of the 1,954-mile border.

Republican allies of the president said there will have to be some money to meet Trump’s demands. But they also predict privately that the White House is eager to grab an agreement and declare victory, even with only a fraction of what Trump wanted.

“The components of border security are people, technology and a barrier. And everybody has voted for all three,” said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D. “To get to an agreement we’ve got to have all three in there.”

If negotiations on the 17-member panel falter, one option would be to enact another temporary government funding measure to replace the current one, which expires Feb. 15.

Prospects for broadening the scope of the talks to include broader immigration issues such as providing protection against deportation to “Dreamer” immigrants brought illegally to the country as children — or even must-do legislation to increase the government’s borrowing cap — appeared to be fading.

“It’s just a matter of border security at this moment,” Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said.

Trump company will use E-Verify to vet workers IMMIGRATION The Trump Organization, responding to claims that some of its workers were in the U.S. illegally, said on Wednesday that it will use the E-Verify electronic system at all of its properties to check employees’ documentation.

A lawyer for a dozen immigrant workers at the Trump National Golf Club in New York’s Westchester County said recently that they were fired on Jan. 18. He said many had worked there for a dozen years or more. Workers at another Trump club in New Jersey came forward last month to allege managers there had hired them knowing they were in the country illegally.

“We are actively engaged in uniforming this process across our properties and will institute E-Verify at any property not currently utilizing this system,” said Eric Trump, above, executive vice president of the Trump Organization. “This whole thing is truly heartbreaking.

Our employees are like family but when presented with fake documents, an employer has little choice.”

The E-Verify system allows employers to check documentation submitted by job applicants with records at the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. During his campaign, Donald Trump called for all employers to use the system. BERNARD CONDON (AP)

Foxconn’s ‘bait and switch’ ECONOMY Electronics giant Foxconn reversed course and said Wednesday that the massive Wisconsin operation that was supposed to bring a bounty of blue-collar manufacturing jobs back to the Midwest — and was offered billions of dollars in incentives from the state — will instead be devoted mostly to research and development.

President Trump and former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker heralded the facility as a once-in-ageneration opportunity. Foxconn, a major supplier to Apple, is the world’s largest contract maker of electronics and China’s largest private employer.

In a statement Wednesday, Foxconn said it remains committed to the project, the creation of 13,000 jobs and “to our longterm investment in Wisconsin.”

But because the global market environment that existed when the project was first announced

Wis. project touted as a blue-collar boon will now focus on R&D

Foxconn CEO Terry Gou and then-Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker talk in June at a groundbreaking for a Foxconn facility in the state.

in 2017 has shifted, “this has necessitated the adjustment of plans for all projects, including Wisconsin.”

Foxconn previously said it could invest up to $10 billion in the project. It did not recommit to that number Wednesday, but Wisconsin leaders said Foxconn had pledged to spend that much.

Louis Woo, special assistant to Foxconn CEO Terry Gou, told Reuters that it’s scaling back and possibly shelving plans to build liquid crystal display panel screens in Wisconsin.

“In terms of TV, we have no place in the U.S.,” Woo said. “We can’t compete.”

Woo said a factory would not

be built in Wisconsin: “You can’t use a factory to view our Wisconsin investment.”

Instead, Woo said Foxconn wants to create a “technology hub” that would largely consist of research facilities along with packaging and assembly operations. Woo said about three-quarters of the jobs created will be in research and development and design, rather than blue-collar manufacturing jobs.

Marc Levine, senior fellow and founding director of the University of Wisconsin’s Center of Economic Development, called it “one enormous bait and switch.”

“It seems clear that, whatever Foxconn eventually develops in Wisconsin, this will look nothing like the project that Scott Walker and his cronies ... sold to the public,” Levine said in an email.

Walker, who brokered the deal, emphasized in a tweet Wednesday that Foxconn only earns tax credits for actual investment and job creation.

“No jobs/investment? No credits. Period,” Walker tweeted.

NATIONAL SECURITY RIFT

Trump unloads on intelligence chiefs President Trump lashed out at his intelligence chiefs on Wednesday after they told Congress that North Korea is unlikely to dismantle its nuclear arsenal and that the Iran nuclear deal is working.

“Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!” Trump tweeted. Here’s where they disagree. (AP/TWP) North Korea

Iran

Islamic State

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un committed to denuclearization last year. Intelligence officials said Tuesday that U.S. intel does not support the idea that Kim will eliminate his nukes. Trump tweeted Wednesday that the U.S.-North Korea relationship “is the best it has ever been,” citing a halt to nuclear and missile tests, the return of U.S. service members’ remains and the release of detained Americans as proof.

Intel chiefs said Iran continues to work with other parties to the nuclear deal it reached with the U.S. and other world powers. In doing so, they said, it has lessened the nuclear threat for now. Trump withdrew the U.S. from that accord, which he said would not stop Iran from going nuclear. ”The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran,” Trump tweeted. “They are wrong!”

Officials warned that the Islamic State is capable of attacking the U.S. and painted a picture of a stillformidable terrorist group. Trump had declared the group defeated and said he wants to pull U.S. troops from Syria as a result. Trump tweeted that when he took office, ISIS was “running rampant.” Citing “tremendous progress,” he added: “Caliphate will soon be destroyed, unthinkable two years ago.”

House supports a 2.6 percent raise for feds The House on Wednesday backed a pay raise for civilian federal employees in what Democrats cast as both a necessity and a gesture of appreciation for a workforce reeling after a 35-day partial government shutdown.

The 2.6 percent raise is calibrated to match that given to military personnel in a 2019 spending bill passed last year.

President Trump subjected the rest of the federal workforce to a pay freeze in a Dec. 28 executive order, though Congress could override that at any time.

The vote was 259-161, with more than two dozen Republicans joining Democrats.

Before the shutdown began, Senate appropriators had agreed on a 1.9 percent raise for civilian employees in 2019, but that provision — along with the rest of a federal spending agreement — got caught up in the standoff over Trump’s proposed border wall.

Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., the author of the bill, said the pay raise is “not only deserved, but it’s also symbolically important.”

House Republicans criticized the bill for not having gotten a committee hearing or markup or a fiscal cost analysis from the Congressional Budget Office.

Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said, “What we have here is a rush to try to send a message that Republicans are awful to federal workers, and Democrats are not.” MIKE DEBONIS

TECHNOLOGY Apple says Facebook can no longer distribute an app that paid users, including teenagers, in exchange for extensively tracking their phone and web use.

In doing so, Apple closed off Facebook’s efforts to sidestep Apple’s app store and its tighter rules on privacy.

The tech blog TechCrunch reported Tuesday that Facebook paid people about $20 a month to use the Facebook Research app. Facebook says this was done with permission.

“I don’t think they make it very clear to users precisely what level of access they were granting when they gave permission,” mobile app security researcher Will Strafach said Wednesday. “There is simply no way the users understood this.”

Facebook says fewer than 5 percent of the app’s users were teens and they had parental permission.

For now, the app appears to be available for Android phones, though not through Google’s main app store.

Apple said Facebook was distributing Facebook Research through an internal distribution mechanism meant for company employees, not outsiders. Apple has revoked that capability.

TechCrunch reported Wednesday that Google was using the same privileged access to Apple’s mobile operating system for a market research app, Screenwise Meter.

WEATHER A blast of polar air enveloped much of the Midwest on Wednesday, closing schools and businesses and straining infrastructure across the Rust Belt with some of the lowest temperatures in a generation.

The deep freeze snapped rail lines and canceled hundreds of flights in the nation’s thirdlargest city, which was as cold as the Arctic. Heavily dressed repair crews hustled to keep water mains and gas pipes working.

Chicago dropped to a low of around minus 23, slightly above the city’s lowest-ever reading of minus 27 from January 1985.

Milwaukee had similar conditions, and Minneapolis recorded minus 27.

“Please avoid the outdoors,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel cautioned. “If you have to go out, dress in multiple layers. Cover your nose and mouth to protect your lungs from the cold.”

Downtown Chicago streets were largely deserted after most offices told employees to stay home. Trains and buses operated with few passengers. The hardiest commuters ventured out only after covering nearly every square inch of flesh against the extreme chill, which froze ice crystals on eyelashes and eyebrows in minutes.

The Postal Service took the rare step of suspending mail delivery in many places, and in southeastern Minnesota, even the snowplows were idled by the weather.

The bitter cold was the result of a split in the polar vortex, a mass of cold air that normally stays bottled up in the Arctic.

The split allowed the air to spill much farther south than usual.

THREE POINTERS

Much talk, no answers NFL commissioner Roger Goodell faced a blitz of questions Wednesday ahead of the Super Bowl but provided few answers.

Here’s a look at some of the topics he discussed.

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Cheer for history: Why to root for a sixth Patriots title It’s easy to root for the Los Angeles Rams and their wunderkind coach in Sunday’s Super Bowl against the old-school Patriots and their fistful of rings. Who doesn’t want to see David beat Goliath?

But there’s one big reason to cheer for New England: history.

This title-game appearance may mark the end of a remarkable run. Even if this doesn’t seem like the Patriots’ farewell act, they’re getting old.

Washington fans have seen how quickly a dynasty can die.

The Redskins won three Super

Bowls between the 1982 and 1991 seasons. Two years later, they went 4-12. So, too, must New England’s grip loosen.

The Patriots are seeking their second Super Bowl title in three years and their sixth ring with coach Bill Belichick roaming the sidelines and quarterback Tom Brady under center. They won three titles between the 2001 and 2004 seasons. Sure, they went without a title for nine seasons between their third and fourth championships, but the Patriots won their division eight of nine years during their “drought.”

New England replaced the

$1.57M

Dallas Cowboys as the favorite team to hate in 2007, after the Patriots were disciplined for videotaping hand signals from the New York Jets. But how hard was that, really? The Jets’ hand gestures are usually two arms up in surrender.

There was “Deflategate” in 2015, when those crafty Patriots were accused of using underinflated footballs to beat Indianapolis in the playoffs.

You know, like every football team from pee-wee up does for passers with small hands.

America is tired of seeing the Patriots dominate. Why, people were even happy when the Philadelphia Eagles beat them last year. It was like watching two guys you hate get into a fight: Just grab your popcorn and root for each to get knocked out. You still hate both of them, but the Eagles were the lesser of two evils.

The Rams, meanwhile, are straight out of a Hollywood movie. Young, dashing coach Sean McVay tries to prove himself against the old master.

Maligned defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh — who has racked up numerous fines for aggressive tackles, stomping and kicking opponents — seeks redemption. Some fans have forgiven a franchise that left for St. Louis in 1995 before returning in 2016.

Americans love dynasties while also still pulling for underdogs. Maybe cheer on the Patriots one more time so years from now you can tell younger fans about the great New England team that won six titles. It’s like talking about the Boston Celtics winning 11 crowns from 1957 to 1969 or Green Bay Packers taking five of seven championships from 1961 to 1967.

The NFL will miss the Patriots when Belichick and Brady are gone, despite the team’s villainous reputation.

Continued greatness should be admired while it exists.

3 Diversity in coaching A quarterbacks summit at Morehouse College in June can help get more minority coaches into higher-level assistant jobs that are steppingstones, he said.

2 Discipline for Foster?

He said the NFL may still suspend Redskins linebacker Reuben Foster under its personal conduct policy and that he plans to speak with Foster again.

1 Pass interference He didn’t rule out adding pass interference plays to the video review system, but said he wouldn’t overrule the non-call in the Saints-Rams playoff game.

The panel’s 192-page report made no personnel recommendations in the wake of linebacker Jordan McNair’s heatstroke death, but Maryland’s board of regents leaned on the findings to advise retaining coach DJ Durkin, who was fired a day later amid backlash. The eight panel members each charged $650 an hour. (THE WASHINGTON POST) N.J. Supreme Court won’t overturn ex-WR Irving Fryar’s conviction

In O’Connell, Redskins keep hold of rising star NFL The Redskins promoted passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kevin O’Connell to offensive coordinator Tuesday, continuing a steady climb for a 33-year-old who is seen as a rising star.

Several teams had inquired about O’Connell’s availability, according to many people who have dealt with the Redskins’ front office. Because several talented young coaches have left Washington, it was important for the Redskins to keep O’Connell.

Sean McVay, a Redskins assistant from 2010 to 2016, left to take over the Los Angeles Rams in 2017 and led his team to the Super Bowl in his second season.

San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and new Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur are also former Redskins assistants.

Matt Cavanaugh, the team’s offensive coordinator the past two seasons, will become senior offensive assistant.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden has considered letting O’Connell take over as play-caller, but Gruden may maintain that responsibility for at least another season.

O’Connell was hired by the Redskins as quarterbacks coach in 2017 and was promoted to passing game coordinator last winter.

(TWP)

A third-round draft pick of the New England Patriots in 2008, O’Connell backed up Tom Brady for a season and played with the Detroit Lions, New York Jets,

Miami Dolphins and San Diego Chargers before beginning his coaching career with the Cleveland Browns in 2015. O’Connell served as an offensive assistant with the 49ers in 2016 before joining the Redskins’ staff.

Gruden plans to take his time finding a quarterbacks coach to replace O’Connell. A person with knowledge of the Redskins’ coaching searches said Gruden interviewed former Bengals offensive coordinator Ken Zampese.

The team also said Jim Tomsula will return for his third season as defensive line coach.

During their New Year’s Eve show last month at 9:30 Club, singer Gretchen Gustafson and her ’90s cover band White Ford Bronco played a trick on the audience. They opened the show as a band dubbed Mission Accomplished and played a short set of songs from the 2000s. “It was so exciting to do something different,” says Gustafson, 34. “We love doing the ’90s thing, but even just the different vibe and feel for the 2000s stuff was so fun to do.” Fans go along for the ride wherever White Ford Bronco takes them, which is why the group has sold out most clubs within city limits.

The keys to Chopin’s mysteries Pianist Brian Ganz’s latest ‘Extreme’ show explores the composer’s love for Poland “Brian has an infectious personality that draws people in. He basically has a cult following,” Gajewski says.

Ganz, who’s been obsessed with Chopin since he started playing piano at age 9, says that all the credit should go to the composer.

“There’s a tremendous amount of mystery in Chopin’s music, and he is constantly inviting the listener in to explore these things with him — things that can’t be expressed through words, like yearning and nostalgia, and the type of beauty that’s so beautiful it hurts,” Ganz says.

For each “Extreme Chopin” concert, Ganz selects pieces that tell a larger story about the composer’s life and music.

Saturday’s performance, for instance, will focus on Chopin’s relationship with his homeland of Poland, which he left at age 20 for a career in Paris.

“Musically, though, he never really left,” Ganz says. Chopin loved turning famous Polish poems into songs (typically with vocals and piano accompaniment), and he also wrote many polonaises and mazurkas, pieces inspired by traditional Polish dances — nine of which Ganz will play on Saturday.

Using a technique he calls “musical gardening,” Ganz will juxtapose Chopin’s early pieces with mature works to illustrate how melodies and other musical ideas took root and flowered in Chopin’s fertile mind.

“I’m going to play an early

Brian Ganz is about halfway to his goal of performing all of Chopin’s works for piano.

JAY MALLIN

MUSIC Not long into his quest to perform the complete works of Frederic Chopin, pianist Brian Ganz discovered there was one piece he’d never be able to play.

While he — and most people — thought the Polish composer included piano in every single one of his approximately 250 works, it turns out that Chopin wrote a piece for an unaccompanied singer, Mazurka in G major for Vaclav Hanka.

“I really can’t sing,” Ganz says, so he updated his goal. “Now, I’m performing Chopin’s complete works for piano.”

He’s doing it through annual performances, a series Ganz calls “Extreme Chopin.” Saturday’s edition, “Chopin: Recollections of Home” at Strathmore, will nudge Ganz just past the halfway mark — even if you don’t count that unaccompanied song, which will be performed by mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wor. “As far as we know, Brian’s the first pianist to attempt this,” says National Philharmonic music director Piotr Gajewski, who pitched the idea to Ganz in 2009.

“We were coming up on the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth and I wanted to do something to honor him, a sort of grand gesture, but I wasn’t sure there’d be an audience for it.”

He needn’t have worried. “Extreme Chopin” has been a huge hit since its very first, sell-out installment, in 2011. Gajewski credits Ganz’s sensitive playing and natural storytelling ability.

polonaise that he wrote when he was 16 years old to honor a dear friend who was about to leave Warsaw. It’s a wonderful example of Chopin’s ability to express melancholy in music,” Ganz says. “I follow it with a piece that goes way beyond melancholy to a kind of despair — an even violent despair. It’s one of his mature polonaises that seems very much to be inspired by the Polish uprising — and the following crackdown of the uprising — against Russian occupation in 1830-31, which occurred just after Chopin left Poland for good.”

To conclude the program, Ganz will play Chopin’s Allegro de Concert, Op. 46, a propulsive, 11-minute piece that the composer famously proclaimed would be the first work he’d perform in an independent Poland.

“At first, I didn’t understand why he said that, but now I think

“It crescendoes into a kind of unbridled joy, like a Fourth of July fireworks display.”

I know,” Ganz says. “It crescendoes into a kind of unbridled joy, like a Fourth of July fireworks display.”

Chopin never got a chance to see an independent Poland before he died at the age of 39.

But although the composer was buried in Paris, his heart is in Warsaw — literally. “He had his sister take it back in a bottle of

liquor, and now it’s in the wall of a church,” Ganz says.

As you might expect of the Chopin superfan, Ganz has been to both burial sites multiple times, but one visit to the Parisian graveyard, in the 1990s, was particularly memorable.

“It was a dark, cold winter day, and the cemetery was practically deserted, but when I got to Chopin’s grave, there was a little crowd. It was striking, this little oasis of human warmth, with flowers and candles,” Ganz says. “It really brought home to me what Chopin’s music means to so many people, what warmth it brings, even on the coldest, darkest days.”

That’s what Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette have learned in more than a decade hosting “A Way With Words,” an hourlong public radio show and podcast about language. Weekly episodes examine such topics as grammar rules, new slang, word origins, linguistic diversity, regional dialects and language disputes. “At the bottom of it, it’s an attempt to understand this tool we all have,” Barrett says, and part of that means tracing the words we use back to their roots. “Every word has a story — they don’t just pop out of the mud wholly formed. Each has its own path and its own chapter inside the book of English.” Barrett and Barnette’s path brings them to the Miracle Theatre on Friday for a live show that will be similar to a “Way With Words” episode, but with plenty of time for audience members’ most pressing language questions.

The co-hosts of ‘A Way With Words’ share 5 interesting etymological stories

Gladiolus Barnette likes to pose the question: Why do you think the perennial flower is so named?

Many suspect it’s because we’re glad that they bloomed. A nice thought, but in actuality the name is Latin for “little sword” — it’s a diminutive of gladius, which means sword, and is related to the word gladiator (“swordsman”). “If you think about a gladiolus’s leaves, they look like little swords,” Barnette says, marveling over the etymology. “It’s that fossil poetry,” she adds, referring to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s famous description of language. “I like to talk about the poetry that can be locked inside a single word.”

Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett lay on the grass.

Or lie on it. You’d have to ask them.

Mango “Did you know,” Barrett says, “that in parts of this country, people call bell peppers mangoes? And not just a few people.” It’s true. In the 17th century, the Brits discovered mangoes and other mind-boggling new fruit in India, but since refrigeration didn’t exist, they could only import it back to the homeland by preserving it. That’s why people in the United Kingdom were initially familiar only with mangoes that had been, for example, pickled. Other fruits and vegetables preserved with the same technique were soon described as having been “mangoed,” too: mangoed cucumbers, mangoed peaches, mangoed melon. And eventually, any food that had been mangoed started to be referred to as simply mangoes. In the U.S., that was particularly true for bell peppers that had been pickled or preserved, but over time, the terminology evolved so that it described any bell pepper. The usage remains particularly common in the Midwest. “We had a guy call in who delivers groceries from warehouses to stores,” Barrett says.

“He said that in order to differentiate, his company has to label boxes as mango fruits or mango peppers so the client knows what they’re getting.”

Silhouette The word “silhouette,” which describes a dark likeness of a person or an object against a light background, derives from the name of a penny-pinching French politician who was in office for only eight months. Etienne de Silhouette became finance minister in France in 1759 and was tasked with reining in the spiraling debt under Louis XV. He took drastic austerity measures: cutting state pensions, taxing luxury items like windows and doors (this was the 1700s) and even taxing bachelorhood itself. “Silhouette had this reputation for being a real penny pincher,” Barnette says, and around the same time, artists began offering simple, low-cost portraits crafted from a subject’s shadow. It’s unclear exactly why they were named for the politician, though when you did something frugally in France at the time, it was referred to as “a la Silhouette.” There are also reports that Silhouette was particularly fond of the style of portrait that now carries his legacy, Barnette says.

Care package We send care packages because we care about the recipient, right? While that’s true, the common term actually derives from an acronym. “It goes back to this organization of civic groups that banded together to send packages of goods to people in Europe after World War II,” Barnette says. “Things like butter, dried milk, chocolate and chewing gum.” The organization was called the Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe — CARE for short. The group, still fighting global poverty today, has since been rebranded as the Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere. Though the acronym remains the same, we’ve lower-cased “care” to describe the boxes of cookies and other treats we send to loved ones.

Shambles When you declare your house is in shambles — or your work project, or your life — you generally mean it’s a wreck. But the word initially meant “footstool” in Latin; after entering Old English, it evolved to describe a merchant’s display counter, and then again to specifically refer to a butcher’s counter or shop.

Soon after, “shambles” came to mean any type of slaughterhouse or bloody place. “So we get this scene of disarray,” Barrett says, explaining how the term morphed into a description for deteriorating situations. “And most people, unless they study language, have no idea it meant footstool or butcher’s workshop or slaughterhouse.”

Five performers work through Fats Waller’s catalog in Signature’s take on “Ain’t Misbehavin’.”

How to bring the club life to life STAGE A theater revival is intended, by definition, to breathe new life into a production. But when Joe Calarco faced the prospect of directing Signature Theatre’s take on the beloved 1978 musical “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” he initially found himself gasping for air creatively.

“It’s a show I’ve known since I was a kid,” Calarco says. “My first thought was, ‘Well, what are we going to do with it?’ Not that I wasn’t excited about it, but I was like, ‘What is it?’ ” By the time the director met with his creative team last year, however, a gust of inspiration had changed his tune: For this

iteration, the set would not only re-create a Harlem Renaissanceera nightclub, but the atmosphere as well.

The back alley the performers of the time would’ve entered through? Put it onstage. Do the same with those characters’ dressing rooms. And provide period-appropriate table seating for the audience members closest to the stage “All of us sat up straight in our chairs as soon as Joe pitched that idea,” scenic designer Paige Hathaway says. “It was so exciting to be able to peel away the glamour and the artifice of that whole world.”

“Ain’t Misbehavin’,” which

runs through March 10 at Signature, is a Tony-winning musical revue that takes its name from jazz pianist Fats Wallerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic 1929 song. In a show free of a traditional narrative, five performers work their way through Wallerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalog with a vibrant setlist that channels the artistic and social significance of the Harlem Renaissance.

When audience members venture into the 300-seat venue, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re walking into a 1930s speak-easy. Vintage marquee lights line the balcony to enrich the period vibe. The band, traditionally hidden away in other musicals, sits in plain view to better feed off the performers and audience. Signature even dispenses with its customary announcement about silencing cellphones, so as not to break the productionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spell.

The immersion is largely achieved thanks to the flexibility of the theater, which has no fixed seating or stage and can be reconfigured to accommodate each show. While the transformation from the gym-inspired set of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billy Elliot,â&#x20AC;? which closed Jan. 6, to the nightclub of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Misbehavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? would typically take about three weeks, scheduling constraints required Signature to complete that overhaul in 10 days.

To ease the transition, the Signature crew built a stage for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billy Elliotâ&#x20AC;? that could be downsized to make room for the table seating of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Misbehavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;?

then augmented and repainted to fit the new showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aesthetic.

Although the lack of permanent infrastructure adds such technical complications, it comes with the benefit of heightened creative freedom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partly what makes Signature exciting,â&#x20AC;? Calarco says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The surprise of what are you walking into is part of the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Misbehavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? team hopes the more ambitious design expands the story without a single change to the text. By showing the black performers slipping through the back entrance to sing at a lush club they otherwise might not be welcome at, the production alludes to the inequality of the era. The humble onstage dressing rooms also mean the performers never leave the stage, giving the actors more space to flesh out their characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To really transform the whole space into a club was important,â&#x20AC;?

Calarco says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Historically, what does it mean for black excellence to entertain mostly white audiences? How do we talk about that, or at least make the audience think about that? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can never determine how an audience interprets a story.

But no matter what, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see the full three-dimensional lives of these performers.â&#x20AC;?

Avalon Saturdays events at Soundcheck take inspiration from defunct club Town Danceboutique.

where the primary clientele is straight, and Soundcheck is willing and open-minded to want to bring us into their home and give us a chance — this is a huge deal,” Meyer says.

Avalon Saturdays events feature a rotating slate of DJs and drag queens who keep the party at a fever pitch until the early hours of the morning. Each weekly party feels like a new experience, thanks to the events’ changing themes. This Saturday’s show will be a Super Bowl weekend celebration with music from DJ Matt Bailer of popular DC9 dance party Peach Pit. “The range of Avalon customers varies — from people who put on makeup and dress in drag, to circuit party boys, to a person that likes Top 40 music,” Meyer says. “It’s such a wide clientele.”

Blowout DC

Local drag performers take center stage at the high-energy Avalon Saturdays parties.

DJ Matt Bailer and other acts that performed regularly at Town appear frequently at Avalon.

The organizers behind 3 queer parties are bringing the fun into new territory What’s the state of local LGBTQ nightlife since Town Danceboutique closed its doors seven months ago? For some party promoters, finding the right space to host regular dance parties has gotten even more problematic after the city’s largest gay nightclub went away. For others, Town’s ultimate fate shed light on a long-standing issue regarding a lack of space in D.C. for marginalized groups, particularly those who identify as queer women or trans. With limited options available, a new wave of LGBTQ parties has found a home at non-queer venues, a trend that has helped to open more safe spaces to the community and spread the message of inclusivity to a wider audience. Here are three events that are energizing D.C.’s LGBTQ scene. STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS)

Avalon Saturdays He wasn’t just losing a job. He was losing a family, too.

In the days leading up to Town Danceboutique’s closing last July, general manager Dougie Meyer detected a somber mood in the Shaw nightclub. The leased space had been sold to a new developer, and D.C.’s LGBTQ community was about to see its biggest dance venue vanish.

“Town wasn’t just a family to the staff members, but also the customers,” says Meyer, who splits his time between D.C. and New York City. “There were customers who would go to Town

because they knew they could talk to a certain bartender that was going to be there that night, or staff member, and they could say hi.”

After Town closed on July 1, Meyer retreated to New York for a few months to focus on his gay party cruise business. But the club’s final curtain call kept gnawing away at him as he continued to hear from past patrons about how much they missed the club. The loss of Town became the jumping-off point for Meyer to start his new LGBTQ dance party, Avalon Saturdays, at downtown D.C. venue Soundcheck in

October.

Avalon Saturdays parties (Soundcheck, 1420 K St. NW; Saturdays, 10 p.m., $15) stand apart from Soundcheck’s usual slate of underground EDM acts, but the events feel like home for former regulars of Town. Many of the drag queens and DJs who appear each week previously performed at the defunct club.

Meyer says Soundcheck’s hightech sound system and production quality made the venue a perfect fit, and his partnership has helped the LGBTQ community connect with a new crowd.

The QREW’s quarterly events are opening up safe spaces for queer women in D.C.

JOI LOYD

Moving around, breaking ground

Reaching a new demographic is one thing, but The QREW cofounders Kristen Voorhees and Danylle Kightlinger say that diversifying the locations of queer parties is crucial to making more safe spaces in D.C. — particularly for marginalized groups who have limited options to begin with.

This is why their group’s upcoming party at The Wharf’s Union Stage — its first at the venue, which normally does not host LGBTQ events — feels monumental.

“Queer women now have A League of Her Own and XX+ in D.C., which are great [bars] — it’s good to know that there’s an environment where we can feel comfortable — but it’s always nice to be able to spread out and not always be in the same places,” Kightlinger says. “When you host a party in a space like Union Stage, it opens that venue up for the queer community to feel more comfortable to go, even if there’s not a specific LGBT event going on.”

The QREW’s philosophy is simple. “Our goal is to create a space for queer women and their friends to feel unique to themselves unabashedly and unapologetically,” Voorhees says.

The organization puts on

TANIA HAUYON

The QREW

quarterly parties at various venues in D.C., offering a way for queer women to connect and enjoy music from local DJs. Voorhees and Kightlinger started The QREW in 2016, at a time when A League of Her Own and XX+ didn’t exist and Capitol

Hill institution Phase 1 had shuttered its doors. The QREW’s event series is nomadic, with parties taking place at smaller clubs such as Songbyrd Music House in Adams Morgan and Ten Tigers Parlour in Petworth.

The 450-capacity Union Stage

will host The QREW’s largest party to date. The event (Union Stage, 740 Water St. SW; Feb. 8, 10:30 p.m., $10) will feature music from DJ Tezrah, a drag king performance from Pretty Boi Drag, a late-night happy hour and giveaways by This Free Life, an anti-smoking campaign geared toward LGBTQ youths.

“The event is also 18-plus, which is important — there’s a major gap in the queer community with under-21 events, and Union Stage is also ADAaccessible, allowing us to be more inclusive than we have been before with our events,” Voorhees says.

Though Voorhees and Kightlinger believe that hosting their event at a space like Union Stage is an important step, they also feel that the District needs more dedicated venues for queer women.

“It’s particularly important for women to feel like they have a space of their own,” Voorhees says, “to feel as if it is their own space.”

Drag performer Ed Figueroa — who goes by the stage name Bombalicious Eklaver — felt that D.C.’s nightlife was lacking options for those who identify on the LGBTQIA spectrum (especially the “T,” “Q,” “I” and “A”), and the gap seemed even wider once Town Danceboutique was gone. With Figueroa’s new dance party, Blowout, which debuts at Songbyrd Music House next month, these groups who might have felt excluded from the nightlife scene will now be front and center.

The new monthly event aims to deliver a diverse mix of performers such as musicians, local drag stars and DJs. Songbyrd’s intimate subterranean venue, which typically hosts indie musicians, will get a Blowout makeover complete with a fog machine and bubbles — lots of bubbles. DJ Electrox and DJ Juba will spin tunes throughout the inaugural bash (Songbyrd Music House, 2477 18th St. NW; Feb. 16, 11 p.m., $7-$10), with drag performances from Pussy Noir, Majic Dyke, Sigma Fraud and Figueroa. Plus, there will be male and female go-go dancers, and Figueroa says the go-go boys will certainly be wearing heels.

“Songbyrd caters to all types of events, not just LGBTQ events,” he says, “and it works out in our favor — people who aren’t in our community are getting the message that we are bonded, that we are together, that we are a force.”

Figueroa says Blowout is meant to provide “a fun atmosphere for the entire LGBTQIA community, but especially queer, trans folks and allies as well who would feel left out.”

Though there are more LGBTQ parties popping up in D.C.’s nonqueer venues, Figueroa says there’s still plenty of work ahead to make more inclusive spaces for everyone.

“People can argue that a party [like Blowout] has been done before, but it doesn’t hurt to put up more spaces like this,” Figueroa says. “Especially at a time when marginalized folks feel like they don’t have anywhere to go in this world.”

Greensky Bluegrass has been a constant presence in D.C. every winter since 2014, often playing multi-night runs at 9:30 Club. This year, the band heads to The Anthem for a two-show stand behind January’s “All for Money.” The album marks the clearest sign yet that the Michigan-bred act has moved beyond the “bluegrass” in its name. Opener “Do It Alone,” for example, begins with the sound of an electric guitar being plugged in. But there’s still plenty of bluegrass-style pickin’ at the core of these songs, which are among the best in the jam band scene.

Thu. MUSIC

Amen Dunes On last year’s “Freedom,” Damon McMahon shifted from the lo-fi sound and dense lyricism of his band Amen Dunes’ early records to a more direct, almost poppy sound. Synthesizers and electric guitars replace McMahon’s usual acoustic guitar strumming as the songwriter sings about his family, masculinity and — even if not’s always obvious — himself.

Experimental indie pop act ARTHUR, touring behind his debut album “Woof Woof,” opens this late 9:30 Club show. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Thu., 10 p.m., $20.

COMEDY

Moshe Kasher One of the early entrants into Netflix’s exhaustive library of hourlong specials was alt-comedian Moshe Kasher, who recorded his set in his native Oakland, Calif.

The 39-year-old author, actor and podcaster has been a mainstay on the L.A. comedy circuit; his last Netflix title, filmed in 2018, was a three-parter with his wife, Natasha Leggero, dubbed “The Honeymoon Stand Up Special.”

Kasher performs five shows in D.C. this weekend, each of which will be recorded for a new album made up of improvised jokes about the audience. DC Improv, 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW; Thu.Sat., various times, $20-$22.

Fri. MUSIC

Daley and JMSN British modern soul singersongwriter Daley and Detroit-born R&B singer-producer JMSN both deliver soaring, soulful vocals, so it’s natural for them to team up for a tour (though they’re performing separately for fear of creating a smoothness overload). The ’90s neo-soul influence is clear for both singers, but Daley (still touring behind 2017’s “The Spectrum”) and JMSN (supporting last year’s “Velvet”) aren’t out to replicate the past as much as reinvent the genre on their own terms. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Fri., 8 p.m., $25.

A Long, Long Way: Race and Film, 1989–2019 Few filmmakers have translated the fight for racial justice to the screen better than Spike Lee. One of the city’s most solemn spaces will host screenings of two of Lee’s defining works, complemented by discussions about the struggles facing the black community. The two-day event kicks off Friday with Lee’s 1989 film “Do the Right Thing.” Saturday’s programming begins with a discussion about race and policing in the U.S., which segues nicely into the evening screening of multiple Oscar nominee “BlacKkKlansman.” (Each of the three events is ticketed separately.) Washington National Cathedral, 3101 Wisconsin Ave. NW; Fri., 7 p.m., Sat., 3 & 6:30 p.m., $15 per event.

Mon. STAGE

‘BLKS’ “BLKS,” the debut play from poet Aziza Barnes, follows Octavia, a

20-something African-American woman living in New York City who seeks the emotional support of friends June and Imani after a health scare. To relieve her anxieties, the friends head out for a night out on the town, which presents plenty of laughs along the way but also poignant conversations on racism in America and the struggles of being a young black woman. “BLKS” opened on Broadway in 2017.

Woolly Mammoth Theatre, 641 D St. NW; Mon. through March 3, $20-$69.

DINING

ChiKo Chinese New Year Celebration

The Chinese zodiac’s Year of the Pig is infinitely more fun for chefs than, say, the rat or the snake years. At ChiKo, for example, chef Scott Drewno and team are celebrating with a weeklong event featuring daily “Year of the Pig Plates” with spicy boiled pork dumplings, spiced pulled pork, pickles and stir-fried rice cakes.

Himitsu chef Kevin Tien and beverage director Carlie Steiner are making a guest appearance

in the kitchen from 9:30 p.m. to midnight on Feb. 8 for the no-reservations-required ChiKo After Dark series. ChiKo,

9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Wed., 7 p.m., sold out.

Wed.

After 2014’s “Are We There,” singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten took time off to try other things: scoring a movie, acting in a Netflix series, going to school for psychology, becoming a mother. She got back to writing songs with new album “Remind Me Tomorrow,” which ditches the acoustic guitar work of her early records in favor of heavy synthesizer sounds. The effect, like her vocals, is haunting and beguiling.

STAGE

‘The Music Man’

The Kennedy Center’s Broadway Center Stage concert series is in its second season, and in short order it’s turned into a hot-ticket event thanks to alluring titles and appealing casts. Next up is a fairly starry eight-show run of “The Music Man”: Broadway vets Norm Lewis (“Porgy and Bess”) and Jessie Mueller (“Beautiful”) headline as Harold Hill and Marian the librarian, with Rosie O’Donnell on board as Mrs. Paroo (Marian’s mom). Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Wed. through Feb. 11, $69-$249.

Non-disabled actors including, from left, Bryan Cranston, Dwayne Johnson and Joaquin Phoenix recently have played characters with disabilities.

Still waiting for their chance Disabled actors remain an underrepresented group in Hollywood FILM When Santina Muha appeared on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” in 2007, the producers asked which chair she’d rather use: her own or the studio’s.

“I asked if anyone else in a wheelchair had ever been on the show,” says the actress, who was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident when she was 6 years old. “They said no, so I said, ‘I’ll stay in my wheelchair.’ ” After the two-part episode aired, a woman told Muha that her young son, who also uses a wheelchair, was so inspired by seeing the actress on television, she let him stay home from school the next day to watch the conclusion.

“I was on TV for, like, 10 minutes, and I got fan mail from other countries,” Muha says. “Disability needs to be normalized.”

The disabled are, arguably, America’s largest minority, its 56.7 million members constituting nearly 20 percent of the population, according to the 2010 census. But a study from the University of Southern California’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative that combed through 900 popular movies from 2007 to 2016 found that only 2.7 percent of characters with speaking roles were portrayed as disabled.

Things are slowly changing: Last year, Dwayne Johnson played an amputee in the action flick “Skyscraper,” and Joaquin Phoenix portrayed the late paralyzed Portland cartoonist John Callahan in “Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot.” But

some advocates and actors with disabilities, such as Maysoon Zayid, an actress with cerebral palsy, have taken issue with this casting: They say only disabled actors should get these roles.

The latest movie to find itself in the center of the debate is “The Upside,” which hit theaters this month. It stars Bryan Cranston as a quadriplegic who hires a cocky former convict (Kevin Hart) to assist with his daily needs. Cranston’s character is paralyzed throughout the film, meaning there are no flashback or dream sequences. The role would have been perfect for a paralyzed actor, advocates say.

“I was disappointed to see ‘The Upside’ come out, because we, as disability advocates, have been fighting against non-disabled actors playing visibly disabled character for decades now,”

Zayid says. “We don’t feel like physical disability can be mimicked, can be played, can be mastered.”

Studios often cite the need to cast famous actors to make a movie bankable, but there aren’t many well-known disabled actors. Advocates say that’s a result of disabled actors rarely getting the chance to star in movies because they aren’t famous.

“We are the last civil rights movement of our time. Everything else has sort of been addressed,” says Jenni Gold, a wheelchair-using director who made “CinemAbility,” a documentary about disability in Hollywood. “In a crowd scene, there often isn’t one person with a disability. If you don’t exist in that world of the film, how do you exist in real life?”

trending “Not everyone who defends freedom carries a gun…”

“You should have just sat there and ate your food, Kevin.

Ain’t nobody trying to watch you use this for an [opportunity].”

— John F. Kerry, 68th Secretary of State

@IDIMITRIUSJONES, blasting comedian Kevin Hart for his reaction to Tuesday’s horrific attack on “Empire” star Jussie Smollett, who is gay. Hart took to his Instagram late Tuesday to decry the violence, in which unknown assailants tied a noose around Smollett’s neck. Many weren’t persuaded

by Hart’s sentiments, given his refusal to sincerely apologize for past homophobic remarks. Hart’s message was also seen as trying to mitigate the backlash he’s faced for his earlier comments.

“‘Nitwit Governor’ has a decent chance of being in the actual history books someday for the brief entry about Matt Bevin.”

Al Roker’s criticism of Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin. After Bevin said America was “getting soft” for canceling schools due to extreme cold, the “Today” show host called him a “nitwit governor.” Bevin, a Republican, made the comment as his state prepared to face lifethreatening temperatures.

@ARIANAGRANDE VIA YOUTUBE

@KYLETUCKER_ATH, reacting to

“All that money and [she] still couldn’t hire someone to get it right.” @LEARNED_FIGHTER, joking about Ariana Grande’s tattoo mishap.

The singer and songwriter meant to get the Japanese kanji characters for “7 Rings,” the title of her latest single. However, her tattoo included only two characters, which together signify “shichirin,” a small BBQ grill. Grande claimed the tattoo wasn’t completed because “it hurt.”

Read the dramatic new memoir of The Washington Post journalist who was held hostage in a high-security prison in Tehran for 18 months— and whose release almost didn’t happen.

“No one:

“If music is your first love then why have you dropped more Fenty products than music?”

@MOCHAABAN, using a popular

@KINGDRONES19, sarcastically

meme set-up to poke fun at the “Harry Potter” author’s penchant for revealing unsolicited facts about the Wizarding World. The meme’s construction has a subject divulge information without being prompted by anyone else. Rowling’s fans have used it to troll her recently.

replying to singer and makeup mogul Rihanna after she took to Twitter on Tuesday to celebrate the third anniversary of her eighth album, “Anti.” Some fans responded by demanding new music from the superstar, who has also seen success with her Fenty Beauty line.

DIFFICULT

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may be nearing an “endgame” of sorts, but you still have much to look forward to at this time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You cannot afford to lose your nerve today. More important than why something starts is how it ends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) An extraordinary story is about to unfold, and you’ll want to be right there when it does. You can play a leading role.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may end something today in the same place that it began some time ago.

You’ll come to understand the cyclic nature of such matters.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can

go further today than anyone might expect, especially if you bring to bear all the resources at your disposal.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

may have to accept rather harsh terms from someone to whom you are certainly beholden right now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can make a few moves today that prove instrumental in furthering your cause. At least one part of your plan, however, presents difficulties.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A chance encounter puts you in an unusual position; if you take advantage of this “accident,” victory can be yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can present one or two alternative strategies today and leave it to those in charge to choose which will be adopted. Either will work.

TODAY: Morning temperatures struggle through the single digits and teens. A relatively light breeze, about 10 mph from the west, is enough to keep wind chills in the single digits to below zero through the morning. Low- to mid20s is about the highest temps to expect in the afternoon despite mostly sunny skies.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your complex nature will be on full display today, as you navigate seemingly contradictory stances over one very tricky issue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may be shaken by circumstances today, but soon you’ll recognize that you’ve been afforded a rare opportunity. Accept it by all means.

Healing crystals fail Gwyneth for first time

Mom didn’t like any of her dresses, either Priyanka Chopra Jonas said Wednesday on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that her mother felt like her three-day, 200-person wedding to Nick Jonas in Mumbai in December was not big enough. “My mother was so upset with me the whole time,” she said. “She was like, ‘I need to have another part for the 150,000 people I know.’ ” Chopra Jonas elaborated that Indian weddings can be 1,000guest affairs. (EXPRESS)

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has been accused in a lawsuit of breaking a man’s ribs and leaving him with a concussion when she smashed into him while skiing at a Utah ski resort in 2016. Retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, 72, said Tuesday that he heard a “hysterical scream” and was then struck on a beginner run at Deer Valley Resort on Feb. 26, 2016. He remembers being thrown forward and losing control of his body before losing consciousness. An acquaintance who witnessed the events said he saw Paltrow hit him squarely in the back. Sanderson’s lawsuit seeks $3.1 million in damages. A rep for Paltrow denied the claims. (AP)

PHONE NUMBERS

Wait until Julia finds out about Twitter, Facebook

Is this for a startup, or a ‘Punk’d’ revival?

Julia Roberts told People she doesn’t feel any pressure or responsibility to post on Instagram. “I do what I can when I can and it’s just so, in that way, it’s fun. It doesn’t feel like work,” she told the outlet Tuesday. Roberts, 51, joined Instagram in June. She said she loves to follow chef Molly Yeh, and called actor Josh Brolin a “brilliant Instagrammer.” (EXPRESS)

Ashton would like to thank his fans for giving him their data for free.

Ashton Kutcher tweeted out his phone number on Tuesday: 1-319-519-0576. “I miss having real connection w/ real people.

My Community. From now on you can just text me,” the actor wrote in the since-deleted tweet, which was captured in screenshots.

Tweets show that fans who texted Kutcher got an automated response that included a link for them to click. Kutcher tweeted: “I will repost soon,” but did not elaborate. (EXPRESS)
