H[YehZi 8hea[d The 20.2 inches of snow that fell by midday in Chicago made the storm the city’s third-largest on record, with still more coming down. A foot or more was dumped on parts of Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma and upstate New York.

9^_YW]e A fearsome storm spread a smothering shroud of white over nearly half the nation Wednesday, snarling transportation from Oklahoma to New England, burying parts of the Midwest under 2 feet of snow and laying down dangerously heavy layers of ice in the Northeast. Tens of millions of people stayed home. The hardy few who ventured out faced howling winds that turned snowflakes into face-stinging needles. Chicago’s 20.2 inches of snow was the city’s third-largest amount on record. In New York’s Central Park, the pathways resembled skating rinks. The storm that resulted from two clashing air masses was, if not unprecedented, extraordinarily rare for its size and ferocious strength. “A storm that produces a swath of 20-inch snow is really something we’d see once every 50 years — maybe,” said National Weather Service meteorol-

An orbiting NASA telescope is finding whole new worlds of possibilities in the search for alien life, including more than 50 potential planets that appear to be in the habitable zone. In just a year of peering out at a small slice of the galaxy, the Kepler telescope has spotted 1,235 possible planets outside our solar system. Amazingly, 54 of them are seemingly in the zone that could be hospitable to life — that is, not too hot or too cold, Kepler chief scientist William Borucki said. Until now, only two planets outside our solar system were even thought to be in the “Goldilocks zone.” And both those discoveries are highly disputed. Fifty-four possibilities is “an enormous amount, an inconceivable amount,” Borucki said. The more than 1,200 newfound bodies are not confirmed as

MWi^_d]jed President Obama pushed a key foreign policy goal a step closer to completion Wednesday with the signing of documents for a nuclear arms treaty with Russia. The treaty is a cornerstone of Obama’s efforts to “reset” U.S. relations with Russia. The New START treaty, negotiated last year, limits each side to 1,550 strategic warheads, down from 2,200. The pact also reestablishes a monitoring system that ended in December 2009 with the expiration of an earlier arms deal. Although Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other administration officials had argued strongly and repeatedly that

be 90 percent accurate. Just because a planet is in the habitable zone doesn’t mean it has life. Mars is a good example of that. And when scientists look for life, it’s not necessarily intelligent life; it could be bacteria, mold or a form people can’t even imagine. Before Wednesday, and the announcement of Kepler’s findings, the count of planets outside the solar system stood at 519. That means Kepler could triple the number of known planets.

Yemen Moves Quickly to Ward off Chaos 7Z[d" O[c[d President Ali Abdullah Saleh, moving to head off the kind of unrest roiling Egypt and Tunisia, announced Wednesday that he would not run for office when his term ends in 2013 or anoint his son as his successor. He also appealed to Yemen’s opposition parties to call off a demonstration planned in the capital, Sana‘a, on Thursday. “I present these concessions in the interests of the country,” Saleh

said of his pledge. “The interests of the country come before our personal interests.” Saleh, 64, a vital U.S. ally in the war on terrorism, made the statement to Yemen’s parliament, a senior council of leaders and members of the military, which has remained staunchly loyal to him. Obama administration officials called the announcement “positive” and “significant.” Saleh’s announcement came a day after Jordan’s King Abdullah II dissolved the government as he sought to prevent the turmoil spreading across the Arab world from engulfing his own country.

It remained to be seen whether his promises would satisfy Yemenis. Saleh recently said that 500,000 more Yemenis would receive welfare payments and that students would be exempted from paying school fees this year. But Wednesday’s concessions went far deeper. Saleh pledged to delay parliamentary elections scheduled for April to allow for reforms that would give opponents enough time to prepare and convince them that the voting would be free and fair. He also agreed to reopen voter registration. The opposition has complained that about 1.5 million Yemenis have been unable to sign up. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

A massive cyclone struck northeastern Australia early Thursday, tearing off roofs and cutting power to thousands, the most powerful storm to hit the area in nearly a century. The eye of Cyclone Yasi roared ashore at the small resort town of Mission Beach in Queensland state, battering the coast known to tourists as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef with heavy rain and winds gusting to 186 mph. “It’s such a big storm — it’s a monster, killer storm,” Queensland Premier Anna Bligh said, adding that the only previous cyclone measured in the state at such strength was in 1918.

Study: Big Bucks for D.C. Council Report says salaries rank second among U.S. city lawmakers MWi^_d]jed D.C. Council members are the second-highest-paid big-city legislators in the nation and spend more on staff and other expenses than any other city-level lawmaking body in the nation, according to a newly released report by the Pew Charitable Trust. The study, by the Trust’s Philadelphia Research Initiative, spent several months compiling data from the city councils for the

nation’s 15 major cities. For years, the six-figure salaries given to D.C. Council members have been a point a contention because the positions are considered part time and legislators are allowed to hold other jobs. But the Pew report, issued Wednesday morning, is likely to renew the debate locally about whether the 12 members of the council deserve their $125,583 annual salary. After averaging the council members and chairman’s salaries, Pew pegged a D.C. Council member’s salary at $130,538. The District trails only Los Angeles, where council members

earn $178,789, in what it pays the members of its legislative body. Council members in Los Angeles are considered full time and

do not hold other jobs, according to the report. Several District council members strongly defend their salaries, saying it’s misleading to clump them in with other cities. As the report noted, District council members say they are both state legislators and council members, roles that make their job well worth the money. Council member Marion Barry, D-Ward 8, was even more blunt. “We deserve more, quite frankly,” Barry said. “This government is the most unique government of any government in the world. ... I think we are really underpaid.” TIM CR AIG (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Maryland’s former Senate Republican leader said Wednesday he will break with his party and vote to legalize same-sex marriage in the state. Allan Kittleman, R-Howard, said he would vote for the plan, although he said he would not vote to end a filibuster of the measure. “People will differ, and I respect that they differ, but I have to do what I think is right,” Kittleman said.

In This Alexandria, Concern About the Other 7b[nWdZh_W For days, people have been congratulating Eman Lotfy, a 24-yearold immigrant from Egypt, on her country’s uprising. “I hope your revolution never ends,” declared a Sudanese woman who came in to Lotfy’s familyowned establishment, the Cairo Cafe, in Alexandria. The telev ision in the cafe has been on constantly, flipping between Arabic-language news stations as rapt patrons from across the Arab world sucked on hookahs and excitedly debated whether their own country would be next. But it’s one thing to cheer a revolution from the sidelines. It’s something else to have the flames licking at your front door. For Lotfy, whose family moved here from Egypt more than a decade ago, the chaos has been more frightening than inspiring. “Everyone’s depressed, people

congratulating me on? My country’s on fire and you come to congratulate me?” A lt hough no Eg y pt ia ns expressed sympathy for longtime

President Hosni Mubarak, many said they feared the instability could result in harder times for their country. “It’s scary because we really don’t know what the future will hold,” said Mohamed Ibrahim, 29, who had come to the cafe with his brother, Ahmed Awad, both of whom moved here 11 years ago. “The bottom line is, it’s bad,” said Awad, 30. “My mom is scared about her family. We call every day.” While some lamented the uprising and others celebrated it, the Cairo Cafe has been a place to connect over the extraordinary events back home. Even among Egyptians here, Awad and Ibrahim admit they are a minority. Most of their Egyptian friends here are elated, they said. Now, sipping Nescafe and puffing on a guava-flavored hookah, Awad said he just wants it to be over, “so people don’t die.” (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Anti-government protesters throw rocks at supporters of President Hosni Mubarak in Tahrir Square.

Clashes between demonstrators lasted for hours on Wednesday, with neither side backing down.

The pro-Mubarak crowds in Tahrir Square were mainly working-class men in their 20s and 30s. Many said they were street vendors and occasional laborers, and a smaller number were professionals and shop owners. One group carried cardboard pieces proclaiming them to be residents of the lower-income neighborhood of Dweika. Many said Mubarak was Egypt’s best chance at stability. But anti-Mubarak protesters accused the regime of paying their attackers — a tactic that security forces have used in the past. They also contended there were plainclothes police among their attackers. (AP)

Anti-government protesters attack a Mubarak supporter a day after the president said he won’t seek re-election.

Chaos in Cairo Egyptian protests take a violent turn as pro-Mubarak groups fight back 9W_he Supporters of President Hosni Mubarak charged into Cairo’s central square on horses and camels brandishing whips while others rained firebombs from rooftops in what appeared to be an orchestrated assault against anti-government protesters trying to topple Egypt’s leader of 30 years. Three people died and 600 were injured in the

uncontrolled violence. The protesters accused Mubarak’s regime of unleashing a force of paid thugs and plainclothes police to crush their unprecedented, nine-day-old movement demanding his ouster, a day after the 82-yearold president refused to step down. They showed off police ID badges they said were wrested from their attackers. Some government workers said their employers ordered them into the streets. Mustafa el-Fiqqi, a top official from the ruling National Democratic Party, told The Associated Press that businessmen connected to the ruling party were responsible for what happened.

Hek]^ IY[d[ Supporters of President Hosni Mubarak unleashed their fury on the media Wednesday, beating and threatening journalists who were covering fierce battles between proand anti-government crowds in central Cairo. CNN’s Anderson Cooper was among those roughed up during a chaotic day in which Mubarak backers turned out in force for the first time in nine days of protests against his autocratic rule. Cooper said he, a producer and a camera operator were set upon by people who began punching them and trying to break their camera. (AP)

The notion that the state may have coordinated violence against protesters, who had kept a peaceful vigil in Tahrir Square for five days, prompted one of the sharpest rebukes yet from the Obama administration. “If any of the violence is instigated by the government, it should stop immediately,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. The clashes marked a dangerous new phase in Egypt’s upheaval: the first significant violence between government supporters and opponents. The crisis took a sharp turn for the worse almost immediately after Mubarak rejected calls to give up power or leave the country.

The scenes of mayhem were certain to add to the fear that is already running high in this capital of 18 million people after a weekend of rampant looting and lawlessness, and the escape of thousands of inmates from jails in the chaos. A light army presence that has surrounded Tahrir Square for days fired shots in the air throughout the clashes but did appear to otherwise intervene, and no uniformed police were seen. Most of the troops took shelter behind or inside the armored vehicles and tanks stationed at the entrances to the square. “Why don’t you protect us?” some shouted at soldiers, who told people to go home. The two sides pummeled each other with chunks of concrete and bottles at each of the six entrances to the sprawling plaza, where the 10,000 anti-Mubarak protesters tried to fend off the more-than 3,000 attackers who besieged them. Some on the pro-government side waved machetes. Some protesters wept and prayed in the square where only a day before they had held a joyous, peaceful rally of a quarter-million, the largest demonstration so far. “After our revolution, they want to send people here to ruin it for us,” said Ahmed Abdullah, a 47-year-old lawyer in the square.

Snyder Is Making City Paper’s Point

J>;

<7C?BO 8KI?D;II Packers star is just the latest Matthews to make a name for himself in the NFL Ikf[h 8emb Even though Clay Matthews ended up in the family business, he’s determined to outplay the expectations that come along with having a Hall of Fame last name. Going into Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup with Pittsburgh, the Green Bay Packers' outside linebacker with the flowing mane and famous surname has become one of the most ferocious pass rushers in the game only two years into his NFL career. His quick transition shouldn’t be a surprise. His father, Clay Jr., uncle Bruce — a Hall of Famer — and grandfather Clay Sr. all played in the NFL. “That guy was born to play football,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. And he isn’t even the last in the bloodline, as little brother Casey just finished

his senior season as a linebacker at Oregon and is likely to be drafted. Speaking at media day Tuesday, Matthews was in a playful mood as he took just as many questions about his long, flowing hair — which he wore pulled back for the occasion — as he did about football. At one point, he even covered up his locks with a cheesehead. But when asked about his family, he turned serious. Matthews appreciates being born into a football legacy, but the idea of establishing his own identity is important, too. “I was very privileged as a youth to have a father who played in the league, and have so much family history and be blessed with all that I was given in this life,” Matthews said. “But, yeah, I’ve kind of had to work to kind of get out of the shadow of my father and family or whatnot, and think I’m doing a good job

8beeZb_d[i Clay Matthews Jr., father of the Packers star, played linebacker for 19 years in Cleveland and Atlanta.

Bruce Matthews, Clay’s uncle, played 19 seasons with the Houston Oilers/ Tennessee Titans as an offensive lineman and made the Hall of Fame.

at that. But, obviously, it’s a good shadow to be in.” And despite having that famous name, Matthews is proud that nothing was handed to him. Without a big-time scholarship offer, he went to USC — his father’s school — as a somewhat undersized walk-on and worked his way into becoming a starter. Despite playing only one full season as a regular on defense, the Packers traded up to take him with the No. 26 overall pick in 2009. He wasn’t even the first USC linebacker taken, as the Houston Texans chose teammate Brian Cushing with the No. 15 overall pick that year. And if things had worked out a little differently, he might have made that splash as a Steeler. Going into the 2009 draft, the Steelers were interested, and Matthews said he had “some talks” with Tomlin and other members of the Pittsburgh staff. “We loved him,” Tomlin said. “We LOVED him. But I don’t think we were alone in that regard.” But the Packers traded up to get him instead, and Matthews said it worked out for the best. “I didn’t even know where Wisconsin was when I got drafted as a West Coast kid, but it’s worked out great,” Matthews said. “I couldn't have asked to be in a better position.” CHRIS JENKINS (AP)

F_bbem JWba0 James Harrison has sarcastically offered a solution to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for their

disagreement over hard hits: Use a pillow to soften the blows delivered by the Steelers linebacker who was fined $100,000 for illegal hits this season by the NFL. “I just want to tackle them softly on the ground, and, if y’all can, we’ll lay a pillow down where I’m going to tackle them, so they don’t hit the ground too hard,” he said. (AP)

Perhaps tired of seeing his beloved Redskins lose too often on the field, Dan Snyder is taking on an opponent he can sack: the City Paper. Furious about an article printed months ago detailing his failed business ventures and lack of personal grace, Snyder — as The Washington Post reported Wednesday — is planning to sue the alt weekly and get sports writer Dave McKenna fired. Somewhere, Napoleon Bonaparte is surely smiling. It’s probably more 8o CWjj apt to say little NaIm[died polean had a Snyder complex than the other way around. Look, I get it that Snyder is mad that he got trashed yet again in a D.C.

The doctored photo with the devil horns was a nice touch — and probably enough to push Snyder over the edge. But what does the owner think he’s going to accomplish with this suit? If anything, going through with this threat would only prove the very point McKenna was trying to make. There’s no amount the City Paper can pay to make a dent in Snyder’s wallet, and firing the writer wouldn’t change the owner’s image. Fair or not, folks in the area just don’t like Snyder. Mostly, it’s because he’s ruined the Redskins, but Snyder’s attitude and off-field actions don’t help. If he really wants to wins the region over, Snyder needs to learn to take some more punches and focus on fixing his football team. To reach Matt Swenson, e-mail matt.swenson@readexpress.com

The trade officially ends the six-year Nationals tenure of Maxwell, an Olney native and Maryland alum who could not fulfill his vast potential. The Nationals drafted Maxwell in the fourth round in 2005. He reached the

majors for the first time in 2007 but appeared in only 122 games for the Nationals. Last year, he went 15 for 104 (.144) with 15 walks and three home runs.

Blake Griffin throws down a dunk for the Clippers, who have won nine of 13 games.

Griffin Is Soaring To Stardom in L.A. Last year’s top pick could be first rookie All-Star in years Fhe 8Wia[jXWbb Blake Griffin was supposed to get this started last season; instead, he broke his left kneecap in the final preseason game. He was worth the wait. Griffin has the Los Angeles Clippers — a punch line of a franchise for years — actually winning, with nine consecutive victories at home heading into Wednesday night’s game against Chicago at Staples Center. Overall, they’ve won nine of 13. Griffin is doing it with a combination of brute athleticism, an array of flashy YouTube-worthy dunks and solid passing. He’s averaging 22.8 points, 12.7 rebounds (fourth in the league) and 3.6 assists. The No. 1 pick in the 2009 NBA

draft also produces double-doubles almost nightly, with 39 so far, including a stretch of 27 in a row that ended last month. He’ll find out Thursday whether he’s the first rookie All-Star since Yao Ming of Houston in 2002-03. Griffin’s numbers earned him Western Conference rookie of the month honors for the third-straight month in January, when he led all rookies in scoring and rebounding. He is already committed to the All-Star dunk contest and was selected to play in the Rookie Challenge game. Hindering his All-Star bid is the fact that the Clippers are well below .500 but have knocked off some of the league’s best, including Oklahoma City, West-leading San Antonio and Chicago. They dispatched Miami and the Los Angeles Lakers within a five-day span last month. “I’m confident with our team and our talent,” he said. “The key for us is keep learning.” (AP)

How does the play portray Reconstruction?

It centers on what life was like growing up in the South for the children of carpetbaggers. They heard differ-

ent things as to exactly how Papa wound up in Texas with so much land and so much wealth. Some say he earned it; some say he took advantage of others.

Why is that?

It’s not a particularly pretty picture. It also deals with the South. We go from the Civil War to civil rights, and we gloss over the transition, and the failure of the North to handle that transition as responsibly as they could.

How does being a carpetbagger’s children affect the sisters?

It casts them as outsiders. They were people who could never assimilate to society around them, so they change their story to fit in and belong.

So, are the wounds still open? COURTESY FORD’S THEATRE

LIKE AN OLD-TIMEY “Steel Magnolias,” Horton Foote’s 2001 play “The Carpetbagger’s Children” is a paean to the determination and non-stop chattiness of Southern women. The story is told by the three daughters of a plantation-owning carpetbagger — a rude term for opportunistic Yankees who flooded Dixie during Reconstruction — who deliver rambling monologues about their fading past and uncertain future. Express spoke with Mark Ramont, director of the new Ford’s Theatre production.

Is it strange to do a play about Reconstruction in Ford’s Theatre?

We do plays that encounter all eras of American history. It’s not unusual for us to tackle post-Civil War, but this is, to my knowledge, the first piece we’ve done that deals specifically with Reconstruction.

CWha HWcedj DIRECTOR, ‘THE CARPETBAGGER’S CHILDREN’

In some weird ways, yes: The war still lives on in this country. It reinvents itself in issues of states’ rights, issues that are coming to the forefront of the national debate now.

J^[ J^[Wj[h WdZ Jhkj^ e\ 8Wjjb[ ‘Black Watch’ looks at the human face of a complicated war The story of a war is never black and white — even a conf lict as unpopular as the Iraq War. For Scottish director John Tiffany, this contradiction was the cornerstone of Gregory Burke’s “Black Watch,” a play recounting the reallife experiences of soldiers serving in the British army’s Black Watch regiment. “Greg and I were adamant that we didn’t want to create a piece of

The National Theatre of Scotland’s “Black Watch” brings the chaos of war onstage.

theater that told a liberal audience what they already believed: that it had been wrong to invade Iraq,” Tiffany says. Instead, they used hours of interviews with soldiers to sketch

the story of young men under pressure as they carry out increasingly dangerous orders. The duo first mounted the 12-actor show in 2006 at the Edin-

burgh Fringe Festival with actors from the National Theatre of Scotland. The production brings the tension of wartime to life onstage with a frenetic mix of music and movement, incorporating bagpipes and drums with marching soldiers. Even the audience becomes part of the action: Seats are lined up facing one another across the stage in a formation that Tiffany calls a “mini version of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo,” an annual military exhibition in Scotland’s capital city. “Scottish theater has always had a political streak, although this is often fused with a theatricality that

comes from music hall and vaudeville,” Tiffany says. Washington is the 20th city the play has stopped in during its fiveyear world tour. And though public sentiment about the war has continued to shift over that time, Tiffany says that he hasn’t modified the production much along the way. “It has remained a very specific story about a very specific time,” he explains. “To try and update it would feel untruthful somehow.” ROX ANA HADADI

“All That Jaws” illustrates that feathers can be just as terrifying as fins.

J^[h[Êi W I^Wha _d Co I^ehj J^[Wj[h With Girl Talk, “Glee” and “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid” commanding America’s cultural landscape, it’s time to accept that the mashup isn’t a fleeting trend. Landless Theatre Company is hitching its bandwagon to this star (see, we just mashed up cliches!) with the “Mash-Up Fest,” four short plays that slam together genres, then mock them. “All That Jaws,” which places a Bob Fosse musical in the path of a giant shark, and “Pii Wii’s Big Poseidon Adventure” comprise the PG portion of the evening, at 7. The late show, at 10 p.m., serves up the adults-only “Gleeam” and “Tarxxxanadu.” In the former, a killer stalks high school glee club members. The latter combines Tarzan, porn and “Xanadu” (presumably the musical, not Kublai Khan’s summer residence). Parody is easy to write and easier to write poorly. We’re curious to see whether the Landless team can keep the jokes timely, the rhymes fresh and the shark teeth sharp. FIONA ZUBLIN (E XPRESS)

7 B_\[ ed j^[ CWh]_di At 70, Maxine Hong Kingston looks back on a writing life ?d ^[h d[m c[ce_h" Chinese-American novelist Maxine Hong Kingston declares, “I’ve said what I have to say./ I’ll stop, and look at things I called/distractions. Become reader of the world,/ no more writer of it.” That’s right; Kingston — whose 1976 “The Woman Warrior” is a staple of college lit classes — is suggesting she may have penned her last book. In “I Love a Broad Margin to My Life” ($25, Knopf), Kingston departs from her usual prose and writes in dreamy verse. In this perhaps final adieu, she puts her characters, including the Woman Warrior, through the same aging processes she is facing.

What inspired you to write “I Love a Broad Margin to My Life”?

I was having my 65th birthday, and I thought about coming to the end of my life and what I want to do with the rest of it. What else do I have to say to the world? If I want to say something, I’d better get it done now. Why did you revisit characters like your archetypal Woman Warrior, the heroine who’s also enslaved by her male-dominated culture?

I had imaginary friends as a child, and as an adult, as a writer, my imaginary friends were my fictional characters. I wanted to have them come with me on the journey. I also wanted to tell what happens to my fictional characters in their older age. Why did you write this book in free verse rather than your usual prose?

I’ve been working with prose for so long. [The 1989 book] “Tripmaster Monkey” took me 10 years to write; [the 2003 book] “The Fifth Book of Peace” took 10 years. When I turned 65, I thought, “I can’t afford to spend a decade per book.” So, I decided to quicken the pace. I find that prose is like a workhorse — I have to create entire scenes, and I have to get the setting and all of the furniture. But for the poetry, I can

skip around, fly from here to there. It’s easier, and it’s more fun. You’re translating a book of poems by your father, as well as poems he wrote in response to your work. How is that going?

In [the 1980 book] “China Men,” I challenge my father and say, “I’m going to write you a story, and you have to speak up if I’ve got you wrong.” He was such a silent man, but he took the Chinese edition and wrote poetry in response to my writing. There’s an old Chinese poetic tradition where poets write commentary on one another’s work, and my father did that with me. I want to translate that, and maybe I can reply to him. You seem determined to make the most of your free time. Do you plan to continue writing?

I am going to see if I can let go of writing. It’s a choice I made for myself when I was a child, and I lived that way for 70 years. What if I just let it go and see what comes? I’ve always enjoyed painting and drawing, gardening, needlework. It’s a time when I can do those things.

Big-name scribes and emerging local talent come together this weekend for some poetic justice

ISTOCKPHOTO

This weekend, the 2011 Association of Writers & Writing Programs Conference will bring together the poets and prose writers of today with four days of readings, signings and lectures by such notable scribes as former U.S. poet laureate Rita Dove and 2008 PEN/Hemingway winner Joshua Ferris. The conference also features several specialized breakout readings open to the public, including Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;3 Dollar Bill,â&#x20AC;? which spotlights 30 gay, lesbian and queer writers. Cult writer, critic and poet Eileen Myles (who kept company back in the day with Allen Ginsberg and was later a long-shot presidential contender in 1992) might be the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest

The Rite This run-of-the-mill chiller spends an inordinate amount of time flirting with unconventional scare tactics before sacrificing all of its ingenuity to become the latest in a long line of “Exorcist” clones.

( No Strings Attached Thanks to the immense likability of the movie’s stars (Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher), “No Strings Attached” is an often entertaining look at two people giving their relationship the hooking-up-like-they’re-in-college try.

) The Mechanic The original film put Charles Bronson on the road to immortality. This time, we get the sleeker, buffer, balder Jason Statham as Arthur Bishop — hit man extraordinaire, connoisseur of music, wine and large-caliber weaponry.

* The Green Hornet There was a time when movies about superheroes were full of angst. Then this punk, the Green Hornet, shows up. His movie’s fun. It’s light-hearted. It’s full of jokes. Heroes don’t tell jokes. The Riddler tells jokes.

+ The King’s Speech There’s nothing not to love about Tom Hooper’s historical drama, which tells the story of how Britain’s King George VI (Colin Firth) overcame a debilitating stutter and went on to lead the country through World War II.

Bad roommates: They eat your food, they clip their toenails in the living area, and they try to steal your identity by copying your haircut. In “The Roommate,” opening Friday, Sara (Minka Kelly) finds herself being terrorized by college bunk mate Rebecca (Leighton Meester). Rebecca starts out weird and rockets into obsessive, getting Sara’s name tattooed on her hip. And then things really pick up. But don’t wait for a terrifying plot twist in your own living situation to call in reinforcements. If you’re leasing to a stranger, as in “Single White Female,” planning ahead is key. “It is hard to get rid of tenants,” says Jesse A. Gadson,

Things start out fine for Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester in “The Roommate.”

a D.C. attorney who specializes in real estate law. “If he pays his rent and he’s not violating any rules, he’s going to be there.” And the definition of “rules” is broad: Even a creep can stay as long as he isn’t doing anything illegal or endangering the safety of others. That’s why a “quit or cure” clause in your rental agreement is essential, says Gadson. This gives

you the right to tell your tenant to knock off any annoying behavior or get out within 30 days. You even have to be careful when letting a friend casually crash. “If you allow someone to live with you for a couple of months, you can’t just put him out on the street. If the police come and the person says ‘I’ve been living here for three months,’ they’re not going

to put him out.” Since “The Roommate’s” victim is a student, she would have other real-life options to save herself, according to Jeff Llewellyn, assistant director of housing programs at George Washington University. Most schools offer resources, such as trained mediators, to resolve dorm room incompatibilities. Of course, most of the conflicts he encounters are about cleanliness or having friends over on school nights, not about one roommate watching another sleep. When it comes to the victims of cinematic crazies, “they never reach out for help,” Llewellyn says. “My guess is the person dealing with this roommate probably isn’t talking to a lot of people outside her friend group,” says Llewellyn. Friends are great, but unless you want them to be cannon fodder, you probably want to call in the professionals. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (E XPRESS)

and “Notting Hill” — here are the ones you should really make an effort to catch. “BRINGING UP BABY”: Starring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, this is the timeless story of a man, a woman and her pet leopard. This movie absolutely

flopped when it was released, like a black-and-white “Waterworld.” But it is hilarious and sweet. “SABRINA”: The original one, from 1954, starring Audrey Hepburn, William Holden and Humphrey Bogart. Watch and marvel as Bogart somehow becomes even

more attractive than Holden, proving once and for all that looking like a bloodhound doesn’t stop you from being hot. “LOVE ACTUALLY”: For the last time, this is NOT a Christmas movie. Like love, actually, it’s good year-round. This masterpiece of multiple story lines is quite possibly the best romantic comedy of the past decade, combining star power, sweetness and Beatles songs.

H7?I?D= J>; 87H Here’s to watching the big game in style at Penn Quarter’s Redline this Sunday D[m Ifej

The pesto chicken sandwich, above, served with Parmesan fries (or tater tots), and the crispy-on-the-outsidesoft-on-the-inside tuna tartar spring rolls, left, are two sure bets for first-timers.

For some, deciding where to watch the Super Bowl is one of the most difficult decisions they’ll make all year. The ideal location needs two things: big screens and brews. Penn Quarter’s Redline gastro pub, which opened in November, scores high in both categories. Plus, innovative eats make it a winning proposition for both football fans and Food Network junkies. There are candles on the tables and subdued lighting throughout the second-floor space (just a stone’s throw from the Verizon Center), but there’s no mistaking Redline for anything but a sports bar. An 11-foot projection screen flanks the main bar, 33 flat-screen TVs line the walls, and digital scoreboards display the latest sports news. In the main dining room, leather-upholstered booths are fitted out with beer taps that drinkers operate themselves. (The two-beer combo varies by table; Bud Lite or Miller Lite is on one tap, and either Stella, Shock Top, Sam Adams or Yuengling is on the other). Beer consumption (in number of beers)

From 5 p.m. until close on Sunday, patrons can order Super Bowl menu items ($20.11 each), including all-you-can-eat pork ribs, above. 480 King St., Alexandria; 703-8422790, Jackson20.com.

is tabulated on a monitor embedded in the table. The bar also offers 10 beers on draft and a dozen or so bottled options ($5-$7). Fans of fine dining and football can also root for Chef Fabrice Reymond (formerly of Hook and Indebleu), who has developed plenty of appetizers to put greasy wings or not-so-hot jalapeño poppers to shame. Redline’s tuna tartar spring rolls ($11.50) are star players. Their rice paper wrapping is crispy and crunchy, contrasting with the soft raw ahi inside. They come served on a sesame seed-dappled puree of edamame and wasabi. Another appetizer up for MVP: the boneless short-rib skewers ($10). These juicy grilled kebabs are

accessorized with a teriyaki sauce and a potato hash pancake. Going the distance, Redline’s entreés are prepped and plated with flair. One standout: the pesto chicken sandwich ($13.50), topped with melted buffalo mozzarella, sliced tomato and arugula. It comes with your choice of Parmesan fries or tater tots — go with the fries. Other dinner options include the sloppy-but-filling barbecue pulled pork sandwich ($11); a hefty halfpound Black Angus burger ($11); and fish tacos made with tilapia fillets and sassed up with a smoky chipotle barbecue sauce ($15). Despite a limited dessert menu, the decadent tarte tatin ($8) might just distract you from all of those multimillion-dollar commercials. A light pastry shell is piled high with generous slices of caramelized apples, topped with a dollop of homemade salty caramel ice cream, then drizzled with salty caramel sauce. Now that’s what we call a successful completion. NE VIN MARTELL

Fifty artists contributed works on the theme, including Michele Cormier’s “Common Ground,” above, which is about the eternal love between a chair and another chair. See, you know they’re in love, because they’re red. Many of the artists also contributed haiku about their pieces, which makes us say: Haiku is awesome. You pretend you’re a poet. But you’re really not.

At 66, Patti LaBelle’s legendary pipes show no sign of slowing down

Stop Saying ‘Nazi’

Comments? Give Marc your feedback: expressnightout.com/muse

Cki_Y G 7 In a career that began 50 years ago, when she was just 16, soul legend Patti LaBelle has raised “Over the Rainbow” to the rafters, kicked off countless pairs of high heels on stages across the world and evolved into a cookbook-writing domestic goddess. On Saturday, the original Lady Marmalade gives her second D.C. concert of 2011, following up a Kennedy Center salute to Martin Luther King Jr., with a (sold-out) show at Strathmore. Ahead of the show, Express spoke with LaBelle about unpredictability and the essence of divahood. You’re known for your raucous stage presence. Where does that come from?

There’s apparently a road sign in India with a quote from you on it: “The smallest deed is greater than the grandest intention.”

I believe in doing small things for people. When you do a little kind deed that’s unexpected, that goes so far. Any concerns that your voice is showing its age?

No, I’ve been blessed with this voice. The older I get, the stronger it gets. Would you call yourself a diva?

Because [the term diva] has been given around to all these little diva-ettes, all these young girls, it doesn’t mean anything anymore. I’m not one. What is a real diva?

It means grand. And it means doing your job 150 percent and pleasing the people with no props, no dancers, no singers singing all around you, no choirs and all that added enhancement. You have to be able to do your craft well and look the part, look like a diva. Sounds like you.

Then I am a diva! MARC SILVER NIKKI KAHN/TWP

Pundits on Fox News often compare liberals to Nazi propagandists. Liberal pundits have said the same of conservatives. I asked an expert to weigh in. “These analogies cloud rather than clarify issues of the past and present,” says Steven Luckert, curator of “State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda” at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. “You’re trying to identify [your rival] with evil or say the goals of a contemporary program are the 8o CWhY same as Nazi goals.” I_bl[h Nazis demonized Jews, the Roma people, homosexuals and political opponents. Luckert says their ultimate triumph was creating a climate of indifference, “so you could just turn your back on your neighbor, allow him to be deported.” Please, pundits, no more Nazi comparisons! Well, maybe just one. In their embrace of new media, Nazis can be compared to today’s propagandists. The Nazis saw TV as “a tool with potential to bring propaganda to a new audience,” says Luckert. Germany was the first nation to introduce regular TV broadcasts, in 1935. Initially, shows were aired in public places such as post offices. Only the war stymied a plan to mass-produce TV sets for homes.

It’s all spontaneous; nothing’s planned with me. W hen you have things planned, you’re a mechanical person. I don’t like predictions. I don’t know what I might do!

beeaekj [dj[hjW_dc[dj Stripes No More The White Stripes are done. The groundbreaking rock duo announced Wednesday they are splitting up and “will make no further new recordings or perform live.” Jack White and Meg White say there are a “myriad of reasons” for the breakup, but the main reason is to “preserve what is beautiful and special about the band.” (AP)

9^Whc 9_jo Ib_Ya[hi The Bridge owes its continued success to the fans in Baltimore 9edY[hj Fh[l_[m Despite what Wikipedia may lead you to believe, the Bridge did not appear on HBO’s Baltimore-set drama “The Wire.” “It’s the best show that was ever on television, but, no, we were never on ‘The Wire,’” says Cris Jacobs, singer and guitarist for the Baltimorebased roots rock group. It’s not preposterous to assume the band appeared on the show — the Bridge practically bleeds Baltimore, having spent the last nine years building a modest but fervent fan base in the city. The group consistently sells out its annual Thanksgiving weekend show at Ram’s Head Live! and a yearly summer residency

Cris Jacobs, far right, says Baltimore has been a nurturing home for the Bridge.

at the 8x10 in Federal Hill. “We feel such a strong connection to Baltimore,” he says of the city where five-sixths of the band lives. “Whenever we go out on the road, we try and represent Baltimore and

let people know that’s where we’re from. It’s because of the Baltimore community that we’re still a band — plain and simple.” As a tribute, the Bridge named its fifth album after one of the city’s (for-

mer) biggest exports: National Bohemian Beer. Produced by Los Lobos’ Steve Berlin, “National Bohemian” marks the next step in the group’s progression from improv-heavy jam band into wide-ranging Americana outfit. And with the Bridge’s 10th anniversary coming this fall, Jacobs sees no signs of slowing down. “It’s hard to wrap my brain around that,” he says. “It’s pretty much longer than any relationship, other than family, that I’ve ever been involved in. If we felt like we were not still going upward, we probably still wouldn’t be doing it. But we continue to evolve and develop. It’s definitely trippy to think about, but we just keep looking forward.” You can put that on Wikipedia. RUDI GREENBERG(E XPRESS)

In addition, neither company would address whether they would try to keep the show going if Sheen didn’t return. (AP)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Put yourself forward and do not rest until you have been recognized for your suitability to a task that is yet unassigned. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A collaboration is in the making, but things may not start in a way that inspires confidence. After concessions are made, things look up. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting for others to tell you whether you should do this or that, when in fact you have already made up your mind -havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to expose yourself to something new that can broaden your view of the world as a whole. Your attitude improves as well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Some may say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too much of a good thing, but you may discover that you do, indeed, have your limits. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it time for you to show others that you know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing in no uncertain terms? Today, an opportunity must be exploited fully. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may find yourself waiting for the last piece of a puzzle to fall into place before you can take decisive action.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your schedule may have to change suddenly when the help you were counting on does not materialize. You can get it all done yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be racing against the clock for much of the day, but when things slow down a bit, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the chance to focus on the competition.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can learn a great deal about how you react to certain unusual influences -- and yet the dangers are relatively few at this time.

Kristen Stewart is the film industry’s top female earner, according to Vanity Fair’s Hollywood’s Top 40 list.

James Cameron was No. 1, having pulled in $257 million, mostly from “Avatar.” Johnny Depp was in second ($100 million); Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan and Leonardo DiCaprio rounded out the top five.

Director David Cromer said Wednesday that negotiations are under way to persuade James Franco to join Nicole Kidman in a Broadway production of “Sweet Bird of Youth” later this year. “It looks like it’s coming together,” said Cromer. This would be Franco’s Broadway debut. Cromer said producers are still in talks with Franco, though the actor has expressed interest. (AP)

Lindsay Lohan is in the spotlight again. Police got a search warrant Tuesday to look for a $2,500 stolen necklace at her Los Angeles home. But before detectives could execute the warrant, someone — police wouldn’t say who — turned in the necklace. Now Lohan, who is on probation for a 2007 drunken-driving case, is being investigated for possible grand theft. Kamofie & Co. reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22. The store is within walking distance of Lohan’s home. Lohan is due in court on Feb. 25 for a probation hearing. (AP)

‘Don’t Ignore Me!’ ‘Don’t Lecture Me!’ ‘You’re Drunk!’ In an interview just out in Rolling Stone, Elton John says he thinks friend Billy Joel is “coasting” and that he doesn’t take treatment for alcoholism seriously. “Billy, you have your demons and you’re not going to get rid of them at rehab lite,” he said. (Joel has been to rehab twice.) In response, Joel said in a statement that “Elton is just being Elton.” (EXPRESS)
