Puppy Bowl’s local heroes If you haven’t been counting down the days, the Puppy Bowl returns for its 13th installment at 3 p.m. Sunday on Animal Planet. It will feature 78 puppies from 34 rescues from around the country, divided into “Team Ruff” and “Team Fluff.” Six of the pups (all on Team Ruff) are from two local rescues, Operation Paws for Homes, in Alexandria, and City Dogs Rescue in D.C. While all of these pups have already been adopted, it looks like they’ll put on quite the game. We spoke with rescue staff and adopters to get a feel for how they’ll do. ZAINAB MUDALLAL (EXPRESS)

Suspensions, expulsions decline at D.C.’s schools THE DISTRICT Fewer students are being expelled or sent home for misbehaving in D.C. public schools and public charter schools, a study from the city government shows. In the 2015-2016 school year, 7,324 students in the District were suspended from school, according to the report from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, or OSSE. That was down roughly 13 percent from about 8,400 students who received at least one out-ofschool suspension in the previous year.

The report analyzed data for 94,053 students who were enrolled in traditional public schools or public charter schools at any point during the school year. Of those who were suspended, a third received the punishment more than once. The total number of suspensions fell 24 percent, from 16,762 in 2014-2015 to 12,695 in the past school year. Mirroring national efforts, officials have worked to reduce the number of suspensions. Experts say there are links between punitive disciplinary actions and

A planning agency has approved the design of a taller, stronger fence around the White House. The Secret Service said Thursday’s approval by the National Capital Planning Commission means the agency can move forward with contracting to build the new fence. The changes were proposed after a series of people managed to scale the current 7-foottall barrier. In the most serious security breach, a man got over the fence in 2014 and ran deep inside the White House while carrying a folding knife before he was caught. No one was injured. The new metal fence will be 11 feet, 7 inches tall, and the Secret Service said it will have “anti-climb and intrusion detection technology.” The agency has not disclosed its cost. Construction is expected to begin next year. (AP)

local MARYLAND Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan may have the approval ratings. But the Democrats who control both houses of the state legislature have the votes. Despite vigorous opposition from the Republican governor, the Maryland Senate voted 32to-13 on Thursday to override Hogan’s veto of a bill to boost the state’s use of renewable energy. The House of Delegates voted to reverse the veto earlier this week. That means the measure — which requires Maryland to obtain 25 percent of its energy from

wind, solar and other renewable sources by 2020, instead of 20 percent by 2022 — will become law. Legislative analysts estimate that the annual compliance costs for energy companies would average between $28 million and $111 million from 2017 through 2025, an expense that will likely be passed on to consumers. The governor, who campaigned on a pledge to keep taxes and fees from rising, has said those costs amount to a “tax increase that will be levied upon every single electricity ratepayer in Maryland.” After Thursday’s vote, Hogan

Senate votes to override Hogan veto

Maryland’s Senate voted Thursday to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of a renewable energy bill.

Virginia’s Republican-controlled House of Delegates has passed legislation to require proof of U.S. citizenship before registering to vote in state and local elections. The GOP-sponsored bill passed Wednesday on a 64-33 vote along party lines. The bill would require state registrars to ask for proof of citizenship, instead of just a photo ID. Citizenship could be proved with a birth certificate, passport or other record accepted under federal law. If the bill passes the Senate, it would likely be vetoed by Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who has emphasized voting accessibility. (AP)

spokeswoman Amelia Chasse said senators who backed the override effort “are now faced with the unenviable task of explaining to their friends, neighbors and constituents why they voted to increase the price of energy in Maryland.” Democrats, who hold strong majorities in both chambers of the legislature, countered that the measure would create green jobs, and that the environmental and public health benefits of complying with the enhanced requirements would outweigh any costs.

Uber’s top exec leaving Trump business council POLITICS Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has quit President Trump’s council of business leaders, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press. Kalanick wrote to his employees that he’d spoken with Trump on Thursday to “let him know that I would not be able to participate on his economic council. Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the president or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be

exactly that.” His departure came ahead of the first meeting of the group at the White House today. White House officials did not respond to requests for comment.

The council is “designed to provide direct input to the president from many of the best and

Trump’s threat: Withhold funds from university President Trump raised the threat of pulling federal funds from the University of California at Berkeley on Thursday after university police canceled a talk by provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos and put the campus on lockdown after intense protests against the planned speech. It was called off Wednesday night about two hours before it was to begin. While Trump framed his 6:13 a.m. tweet around free speech and opposition to violent demonstrations, his critics are likely to interpret the message as indirect support for Yiannopoulos, a polarizing figure who portrays himself as a champion of open expression. Detractors call him a hatemonger. Trump’s tweet said: “If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view — NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” Federal funding includes student loans and grants, as well as research grants. One of Yiannopoulos’ roles is as an editor at Breitbart News; Trump senior adviser Stephen Bannon is a Breitbart founder. Rep. Barbara Lee, a Democrat whose district includes Berkeley, criticized Trump’s stance. She said on Twitter: “Pres. Trump doesn’t have a license to blackmail universities.

Religious liberty vow raises equality fears

UNITED KINGDOM

verbatim

POLITICS President Trump is considering how to allow Americans to opt out of complying with federal policies and regulations on the grounds of religion, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in his Thursday briefing, a move that critics said could open the door to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender or gender identity. “There’s clearly a lot of evidence in the last couple of years of the government coming in with regulations and policies that have, frankly, denied people the ability to live according to their faith,” Spicer said. His comments came on the same day that Trump told the audience at the National Prayer Breakfast that his administration “will do everything possible to defend and protect religious liberty in our land.” Administration officials are considering a proposed executive order, a draft of which was obtained by The Washington Post, that would provide individuals and organizations wide latitude in denying services, employment and other benefits on the basis of their religious beliefs, though Spicer emphasized that Trump had no immediate plans to issue

But the draft language drew praise from some conservatives, like Ryan Anderson, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, who wrote in a blog post Thursday that it would “ensure that the public square remains open to all religious voices.”

‘Tough’ talk with allies Trump rattles leaders from Mexico to Australia as his Cabinet tries to soften tone WASHINGTONPOST.COM CHECKPOINT

White House defends deadly Yemen raid

MANDEL NGAN (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS Donald Trump’s spats with U.S. allies as close as Mexico and as unlikely as Australia are leaving his new secretary of state and others in his Cabinet to clean up a lot of potential damage. It’s a good-cop, bad-cop dynamic that could define America’s foreign policy for the next four years. President Trump’s first two weeks on the job have rattled foreign friends and foes alike, starting with his order to temporarily halt all refugee admissions as well as immigration from seven mainly Muslim countries. Concern only escalated in recent days with his personal dust-ups with foreign leaders and declaration that Iran is now “on notice” for possible American action. “It’s time we’re going to be a little tough, folks,” Trump said at a National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, as unseemly details circulated about his private phone calls with the leaders of Mexico and Australia. “We’re taken advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. It’s not going to happen anymore.” Trump’s blunt comments came a day after word emerged of a tense phone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, in which the new U.S. president lambasted an Obamaera deal to resettle some 1,250 asylum-seekers. Diplomatic dysfunction was clear. Minutes after the U.S. Embassy in Canberra said the deal was still on, Trump seemed to contradict that message, tweeting: “I will study this dumb deal!” On the other side of the globe, new details emerged about strained ties between the U.S. and its southern neighbor. There was already irritation on both sides following Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s

President Trump says he is firm with other leaders because the U.S. is taken advantage of by almost “every nation.”

cancellation of a trip to Washington after Trump made the visit contingent on Mexico agreeing to pay for a U.S. border wall. In a follow-up phone call, Trump warned Pena Nieto that he was ready to send U.S. troops to stop “bad hombres down there” if Mexico’s military can’t control them, The Associated Press learned. The White House said the comments were made in a “lighthearted” manner. But administration officials described the calls with both leaders as contentious. Some top aides underscored Trump’s emphasis on toughness and brawnier U.S. negotiations, dominant themes of his “America First” foreign policy. At the United Nations, Trump’s U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley, said the U.S. would be “taking names” of countries that “don’t have our back.” His national security adviser, Michael Flynn, made a surprising appearance at the White House daily briefing to

“officially” put Iran “on notice” after its ballistic missile test. But Trump’s top diplomats are striking noticeably softer tones. Rex Tillerson, in his first day as secretary of state Thursday, implicitly acknowledged in an address to staff that many U.S. diplomats oppose some of Trump’s positions. Without criticizing that, he called for unity. “Honesty will undergird our foreign policy, and we’ll start by

Seasoned spymaster Gina Haspel, linked to waterboarding, named CIA deputy director

making it the basis of how we interact with each other,” Tillerson said. “We are human beings first.” The former Exxon Mobil CEO offered an olive branch to hundreds of diplomats who signed a “dissent cable” challenging Trump’s order on immigration and refugees, affirming that “each of us is entitled to the expression of our political beliefs.” Defense Secretary Jim Mattis sought to project the same sentiment in South Korea on Thursday, in his first official trip abroad. He said the president’s message was “about the priority that we place on this alliance between our two nations,” seeking to reassure an ally that was unnerved by Trump the candidate when he said it should take on greater self-defense responsibility. While Trump drives foreign policy from the White House, he appears to be tasking his top Cabinet officials with the responsibility of follow-up reassurance. JOSH LEDERMAN AND VIVIAN SALAMA (AP)

The Pentagon and White House on Thursday defended a U.S. Special Operations raid in Yemen that killed civilians and a Navy SEAL, saying there was sufficient intelligence to carry it out and that it was planned for months. Pentagon spokesman Navy Capt. Jeff Davis said the civilians were killed Saturday by gunfire from aircraft needed to support the SEALs after they came under heavy gunfire by militants, among them women who ran to fighting positions. The SEALs were under immediate threat, he said. “The enemy had gone to a building and taken up fighting positions in that building to fire on our troops who were on the ground conducting this operation,” Davis said. “The enemy put potentially the civilians at risk in doing so.” Davis and White House press secretary Sean Spicer, above, disputed allegations that the mission was poorly planned and had lost the element of surprise. The New York Times reported that the SEALs learned that their mission had been compromised after intercepting a transmission that showed the militants were preparing for their arrival. “We have nothing to suggest that this was compromised,” Davis said. Spicer said it was a “successful operation by all standards,” despite the loss of life, saying the intelligence gathered would ultimately protect Americans. DAN LAMOTHE

Strictly businessmen

Bill Belichick, Tom Brady built a dynasty with a surprisingly impersonal relationship SUPER BOWL LI Given that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have led New England to seven Super Bowls in 17 years, you might expect to find some emotional complexity at the heart of their partnership, if not a bond. But by all accounts, the relationship between the quarterback and coach is straightforwardly transactional. Belichick treats Brady the same way he does every other player, with that distant, flat, emotionless voice straight from the catacombs. “They have never even gone out to lunch or dinner,” according to Brady’s father Tom Sr. “That’s not what they do.” The repartee between Brady and Belichick has a lot of highly technical, heavily operational talk. Except when Belichick is blistering Brady for something in practice, which he does periodically for the benefit of the team. Their collaboration rests on two simple understandings.

First, they share a workaholic absorption in the tedium of football strategy, a love for cataloging tendencies, and almost mechanistic work habits. Last February, Brady had a digital clock installed at his home so he would know “that he had exactly 11,325 minutes and 14 seconds to go” until the Super Bowl, Brady’s father said. Second, they share an instinct that self-deprecation is the heart of real leadership. They have been able to fight the corrosions of stardom and build a culture that, for all of its disparate personalities, is essentially egoless. As Brady remarked on his weekly radio show, the Patriots are “brainwashed.” “[Belichick] never makes it about one player; he never makes it about one play,” Brady said. “And he never lets his foot off the gas pedal, so really, when you come to our team, it’s just, you’re brainwashed. It’s just the way it goes.”

Getting on Brady’s case In a book about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, Gary Myers wrote that Bill Belichick resisted praising Brady for individual records and relented only when he surpassed 50,000 yards. Aqib Talib told ESPN about a practice in which Brady threw a pick on a seam route, and Belichick exploded: “You got 130 career interceptions and half of them are on this route. You keep doing the same s--- over and over and this is what happens.” Brady’s father said Belichick once told Brady after an incompletion, “You’re supposed to be an All-Pro, and I can go ... to the local high and find a quarterback who could complete that pass.” S.J.

If Belichick is a brainwasher, Brady has been the lead hypnotist. According to close observers, the Patriots’ ethos begins with Brady’s acquiescence to Belichick’s authority, even when it hurts.

RB Cordarrian Richardson, a surprise Maryland commit, decides instead to sign with Central Florida

Brady willingly lets Belichick use him as the example, in everything from renegotiating cap-friendly contracts to absorbing the coach’s scathing sarcasm for mistakes. Brady has told his father that he aims to be “the perfect soldier.” But he has struggled to understand some of Belichick’s cold-blooded roster decisions, how he could discard players who seemed essential or who were close to Brady, such as Lawyer Milloy, Deion Branch or Logan Mankins. The relationship works, observers say, because they have a mutual regard for the other as the absolute best in the NFL. A shared determination to build a faceless, ego-less organization has made each of them, in his own way, the unmistakable frozen-intime face of the franchise: Belichick, hooded and inscrutable on the sideline, Brady so poised under center he seems almost pensive.

Super Bowl Sunday is a gambler’s paradise, and the bets don’t stop on the field. The world of proposition bets — minuscule or peripheral parts of the game — offer possibilities for everyone. (TWP)

Shanahan’s Frankenstein

Offensive coordinator borrows pieces from dad, Kubiak and Walsh

An upset over the Patriots would be an epic achievement for Kyle Shanahan’s offense.

Why Atlanta gets tagged a bad sports city

ALEX GOODLETT (GETTY IMAGES)

FALCONS The Falcons’ high-powered offense has carried them to the Super Bowl, landed offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan a head coaching job in San Francisco and could yield an MVP award for quarterback Matt Ryan. It has worked not only because of the on-field brilliance of Ryan and wide receiver Julio Jones, but also because of Shanahan’s scheme, a blend of the offenses he’s learned from bosses including Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay), Gary Kubiak (Houston) and his father, Mike (Washington), with original wrinkles. “What you see is an offense that has been developed over time and adapted to Kyle’s personality and the personnel that he has,” former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann said Mike Shanahan’s offenses generally blended a traditional West Coast passing game — the quick-hitting, horizontally focused approach popularized by the Bill Walsh-coached 49ers — with a running game utilizing zone blocking and “stretch” plays. That system produced two Super Bowl triumphs for Denver. Kubiak, a Mike Shanahan coaching protégé who was Kyle Shanahan’s boss in Houston before winning last season’s Super Bowl with the Broncos, was particularly enamored with putting his quarterback on the

move with rollouts and bootlegs. When Mike Shanahan coached the Redskins and Kyle was the team’s offensive coordinator, they added college-style elements to their offense — the pistol formation and optionstyle running plays — for rookie passer Robert Griffin III in 2012. But the Falcons’ passing game is not your father’s — or, more precisely, Shanahan’s father’s — West Coast passing game, which is built on short completions that rely on receivers to make plays after the catch. There is a vertical aspect to the Falcons’ offense focused on making certain that

Game plan goes missing One unexpected threat to Atlanta’s Super Bowl hopes was a columnist from San Francisco. After his media session Monday night in Houston, Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan couldn’t find his backpack. According to USA Today, Shanahan’s blueprint for beating the Patriots was inside. The coach spent almost half an hour searching for the backpack that held his game plan. Then, Art Spander of the San Francisco Examiner showed up. Spander had taken Shanahan’s bag by mistake and returned it after he was alerted by a colleague. (EXPRESS)

Jones gets big-play opportunities “Kyle had Andre Johnson in Houston,” Theismann said. “He had Pierre Garcon in Washington. He has Julio Jones in Atlanta. Kyle finds a guy that he concentrates on, and that’s the guy that the offense goes through.” If the Falcons manage to upset the Patriots and win a Super Bowl title, it won’t necessarily be another championship for the offense of Walsh, Gruden, Mike Shanahan, Kubiak and others. It will be a title for Kyle Shanahan’s offense. MARK MASKE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NEW JERSEY PRIDE

Rutgers represents in Super Bowl LI

When college football powerhouses come to mind, you probably don’t think of New Brunswick, N.J. But Rutgers, not Alabama, LSU, nor Stanford, has the most alumni represented on Super Bowl rosters. The three aforementioned schools have four players, but Rutgers has five: Atlanta’s Mohamed Sanu, left, and New England’s Devin McCourty, Logan Ryan, Duron Harmon and Jonathan Freeny, who is hurt. (EXPRESS) Patriots owner Robert Kraft says Bill Belichick will coach “as long as he wants” and “won’t be done this year”

FALCONS Last week, Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe wrote that New England can’t get excited about facing Atlanta in the Super Bowl. He labeled the opposing fan base pitiable and called the Falcons a “meh” matchup. That brought up memories of 2012, when Rob Parker called Atlanta “the worst sports town in America” in an article for ESPN. Why does Atlanta get such a bad rap? Conversations with local media, pro sports fans and a former Falcons player reveal a city full of transplants with a complicated and often painful sports history. According to U.S. Census Bureau data collected from 20102014, 37 percent of residents in the Atlanta metro area were born outside of Georgia. Many of these transplants hold fast to their allegiances. And, pro sports aside, college football is king. Starting in 1991, the Braves won 14 straight division titles. They won one World Series. The Hawks won 60 games and made the Eastern Conference finals in 2014-15 only to get swept by the Cavaliers. The Falcons took a 17-0 lead on the 49ers in the 2013 NFC title game but lost 28-24. “There’s a little bit of this, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 12 times, shame on me,” Atlanta Journal-Constitution sports columnist Mark Bradley said. “There’s sometimes a bit of a reluctance for an Atlanta fan to really get excited.” GABE HIATT (EXPRESS)

Running back

Tough, truculent and, most of all, trusted, Edelman has topped 100 yards receiving in four of his last five playoff games. He put up 137 yards against Houston in the divisional round and posted 118 yards with a score against Pittsburgh. He returns kicks and can even throw it. The college quarterback had a 51-yard TD toss two years ago.

With top corner Malcolm Butler likely to trail Julio Jones throughout the game, expect the Falcons to target Ryan in coverage against Mohamed Sanu — his college roommate at Rutgers — and Taylor Gabriel, who have combined for 10 touchdown catches. In his fourth season, Ryan was New England’s leading tackler with 92 stops.

The second-year pro broke out this season, taking over as a starter in Week 10 and leading the Patriots with seven sacks. At 6 feet 2 and 265 pounds, he’s undersized for his position, but there’s a reason his teammates have nicknamed him “Technique.” Flowers has had an active postseason with 10 tackles in two games.

For an idea of his potential impact, look at Von MIller, who had 2.5 sacks and won MVP in the last Super Bowl. Beasley paced the NFL with 15.5 sacks this season. Along with tackle Grady Jarrett and corner Jalen Collins, he’s one of three 2015 draft picks to earn a starting role for a defense that’s emphasized youth and speed.

The most important free-agent addition to the Falcons this season will be responsible for adjusting Atlanta’s protections. In Kyle Shanahan’s zone running game, the center must be athletic enough to pull and run on any play. Atlanta made Mack the first center to earn $9 million per year for a good reason.

Devonta Freeman is Atlanta’s top back, but Coleman isn’t far behind. He’s logged 14 touches with a touchdown in each playoff game this year and is especially dangerous in the passing game. In the regular season, he averaged 13.6 yards per catch and scored three of his 11 touchdowns through the air.

Back in the MVP discussion? Past six weeks show two-time MVP Curry has regained rare form

Frank Beamer welcomes role on CFP panel

EZRA SHAW (GETTY IMAGES)

NBA For the first two months of the regular season, the biggest question surrounding the Warriors was whether Stephen Curry could get back to the heights he reached over the past two seasons, both of which ended with him winning league MVP and leading the Warriors to the NBA Finals, claiming one of them. For the past six weeks, the biggest question surrounding the Warriors has been different: How could anyone have doubted him? Now, another question seems at least worth considering: Could he somehow work his way back into the conversation for a third straight MVP award? Wednesday night’s game against the Hornets served as the latest example of Curry’s reclaimed comfort level. He was sensational in Golden State’s 126-111 win, putting up 39 points while going 14-for-20 from the field and 11-for-15 from 3-point range. He also had five rebounds, eight assists, three steals and just one turnover in 30 minutes. There was his ridiculous

crossover of Marvin Williams that left Williams crawling after Curry as he buried yet another 3-pointer in the second quarter, and there was the fact that he finished the third quarter just two 3s shy of the single-game record he set earlier this season, but never got off the bench in the fourth. Curry has hit an astonishing 26 of 42 shots from long range in his three games before Thursday. These are the kinds of things

“He has really surprised me in a nice way. I knew he was good, but I didn’t think he was this good.” WIZARDS COACH SCOTT BROOKS,

praising center Marcin Gortat, right, on Thursday on 106.7 The Fan. Brooks said he underestimated Gortat’s knowledge of the game, defense and screen-setting skills.

Curry was doing on a regular basis over the past two years. But that was before he injured his knee during last year’s playoffs, before the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, before Kevin Durant arrived to share the spotlight. Suddenly, there were questions about whether Curry was even the best player on his team — let alone the best player in the league. That all changed after Curry scored just 15 points against the

Cavaliers in a loss on Christmas. While demanding the ball more in the wake of that game, Curry has looked like himself again. In 16 games since that loss, Curry averaged 27.7 points and 6.9 assists per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the floor and an absurd 46.2 percent from 3-point range on more than 10 attempts per game — all numbers that are in line with his unanimous MVP season a year ago.

St. Louis and Carlos Martinez have agreed to a $51 million, five-year contract extension that buys out his arbitration years and includes two team options, according a person with direct knowledge of the deal. The contract breaks the record for a pitcher reaching arbitration for the first time. The Indians signed Corey Kluber to a $38.5 million, five-year deal in 2015. Martinez, 25, went 16-9 with a 3.04 ERA last year. (AP)

On Wednesday, Wizards coach Scott Brooks was named the NBA’s Eastern Conference coach of the month for January. Washington climbed the standings, as Brooks led the team to a 12-4 record last month.

Attorney for Art Briles says Ex-Baylor coach has dropped libel suit against school officials

COLLEGE FOOTBALL A daunting task awaited former Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer before he began work as a member of the College Football Playoff selection committee: He had to learn how to use a computer. “I’m in that phase right now,” Beamer, 70, said with a laugh this week. “You know in the past, I always had [Hokies associate athletic director] John Ballein and my secretary on either side of me, so if I had a question they were there to look it up.” Beamer has a bit more time to become computer savvy before the biggest undertaking of his retirement years begins this spring, when the selection committee meets in Phoenix in the days before college basketball’s Final Four. There, Beamer, who was major-college football‘s winningest active coach when he stepped down in 2015 after 29 years at the helm, will begin a three-year stint on the 13-person selection committee. He headlines an incoming class that also includes Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith and Robert Morris President Chris Howard. They replace Wisconsin Athletic Director Barry Alvarez, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr. Next football season, Beamer will give up his Mondays and Tuesdays to meet with the committee that decides rankings. AVA WALLACE (TWP)

It’s time to go Greenery Encourage spring to come early by using Pantone’s 2017 shade DECOR Doesn’t a big, deep breath of fresh air sound nice right now? With six more weeks of winter predicted (thanks a lot, Punxsutawney Phil!), it’s a good time to bring something bright and vibrant into your home. Pantone’s 2017 Color of the Year, “Greenery,” is a good start. “We don’t all have access to the green forest, but we do have access to things we can bring into our home environment,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. Pair it with warm whites and neutrals for a clean, tranquil vibe, or use a bright white for a fun, contemporary feel. “It is a very optimistic color,” says Lori Weitzner, a textile designer and the author of “Ode to Color.” “Use it in the right way in your home, and it will keep your spirits high.” Here’s how the pros use it.

In your kitchen One of the best places to use a

bright green, Weitzner says, is in the kitchen. Add plants and herbs, but also consider a green backsplash, an accent wall or even an indoor-outdoor rug. Dash & Albert’s Samode Indoor/Outdoor Rug pairs a vegetal green with a warm ivory — and spills come out with a quick hose-down ($48-$672, dashandalbert.com).

The color adds liveliness to the top of your table, too, such as in Ikea’s Fargrik 18-piece dinnerware set ($25, ikea.com).

With other colors Weitzner would pair Greenery with other fun colors, such as melon, lavender and sunny yellow, but she’d do it in small

In small doses Weitzner knows designers who love plastering a bright green on all four walls of a room. But the less-is-more approach works here, too. The ceramic Lauren Table Lamp has a traditional shape, but reads contemporary in glossy greenery ($129, ballarddesigns.com). Still too much? Bold color doesn’t come in a smaller dose than on the hands of the Newgate Cubic Grey and White Alarm Table Clock ($40, cb2.com).

On your furniture Eiseman recommends taking an old, shabby chair and re-covering it in a solid-green or greenprinted fabric. You can also buy that accent chair new. We like the overscale floral on the Frankie Cream & Green Floral Armchair ($450, pier1.com). LINDSEY M. ROBERTS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

He is not a ‘has-been’ FILM Director Raoul Peck wanted his documentary “I Am Not Your Negro” to be about James Baldwin — and only James Baldwin. “How do I respect him?” Peck says he asked himself early on, when mapping out his film about the acclaimed African-American writer. “I didn’t want talking heads [interviews] because I didn’t want anybody to be the interpreter. I didn’t want to be an interpreter — I wanted to be a messenger.” “I Am Not Your Negro,” opening locally Friday, is Peck’s attempt to visually complete Baldwin’s unfinished work “Remember This House,” a study of race relations in America using the lives of Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X as a lens. Baldwin, who knew all three men but never achieved their level of fame, died in 1987, leaving only about 30 pages of the work. The film combines those words (read by an off-screen Samuel L. Jackson); archival

footage of Baldwin, Evers, King and Malcolm X; images from the struggle for civil rights; and contemporary footage of unrest in Ferguson, Mo., New York City and Baltimore to show how prescient Baldwin’s work was. “I was trying to make a fundamental film, a film that would define Baldwin again, that would make sure he would survive the test of time,” Peck says. “I could see these last 20 years, people were not only forgetting him, but almost putting him aside as a hasbeen. He is part of the package.” “I Am Not Your Negro” doesn’t tell the story of a general “civil rights movement,” but instead examines the tensions among King, Evers, Malcolm X and Baldwin

‘I Am Not Your Negro’ (PG-13, 95 min.) DIRECTOR: Raoul Peck IN A NUTSHELL: Building off of an unfinished James Baldwin book, this documentary is an up-to-theminute examination of race in America, using archival material and the insightful writer’s original words.

himself. Baldwin (and consequently Peck) wanted to show that civil rights achievements in the 1960s weren’t just a matter of a few marches and sit-ins, but a sociopolitical movement where the leaders sometimes couldn’t agree on the goal, much less the methods for achieving

it. It’s a history that’s glossed over and made more palatable to the masses, who would rather share the nicest of King’s words on Facebook than confront his economic arguments. “The monuments they are building for Martin Luther King — and not, by the way, for Malcolm X — those monuments are selective,” Peck says. “You won’t find the speeches of the last two years of Martin Luther King’s life; those speeches are too radical. Those speeches are talking about something very different — the fight against poverty, the fight against class in this country — and those speeches made him dangerous. It’s a sanitization of this history, to take whatever is clean and what doesn’t create problems. “Once you start building monuments,” Peck continues, “it’s a way to tell you, ‘This is now tradition, you don’t need to worry about it, all the problems are solved.’ And that’s the trap.” Bringing Baldwin’s words and works back into the national conversation about race is Peck’s way of preventing the civil rights movement from becoming locked in the past.

PG-13, 120 min.

A teenage boy born on Mars, Gardner (Asa Butterfield), finds himself falling for a chat room pal on Earth, plucky foster kid Tulsa (Britt Robertson). The film falls into the cinematic trend of planetary colonization sci-fi fantasies. But there’s a wrinkle: All this born-andraised Martian wants is to get to Earth, not off it. It’s just that his Mars-born human body can’t support terrestrial gravity. KATIE WALSH (TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE VIA AP)

‘They Call Us Monsters’ Unrated, 82 min.

This documentary follows three teenage boys, incarcerated in California for charges ranging from attempted murder to murder, during a prison screenwriting class. Even if you think teenagers shouldn’t be locked up for life when there are other ways to save them, the film doesn’t offer a convincing argument that a screenwriting class is that lifeline.

Gone guy: Farhadi is a reminder of what art’s about Director Asghar Farhadi will not be attending the Oscars ceremony later this month to see if his film “The Salesman” wins best foreign language picture. The reason? At first it was because, as a citizen of Iran, Farhadi was subject to our new administration’s “definitely not a Muslim ban” Muslim ban. Now, the director (whose “A Separation” won in the same category five years ago) has said he wouldn’t come even if allowed, which makes a lot of sense. Why go where you’re clearly not wanted? I hope he wins, and I hope the presenters, instead of saying, “We accept this on his behalf,” simply stand there silently for the 45 seconds or however long the Academy allows people who aren’t A-listers to give their speeches. I hope nothing but

dead silence echoes through the auditorium. And then I hope there’s a standing ovation. “But celebrities should stick to making movies! Not talking about politics!” certain planets in the Twitterverse would say. First of all, there are very few occupations where it is inappropriate to use your professional platform to advance your personal beliefs — offhand, I can think of members of the military, government workers, journalists and kindergarten teachers. Second, we need artists to talk about politics because, many times, ART IS HOW WE TALK ABOUT POLITICS. More importantly, art is often how the political becomes the personal. Putting a face — even a fictional one — on an issue brings that issue out of the realm of the theoretical. Thanks to Harry Potter, kids hoping for a letter on their 11th birthday know they’d be entering

CNN’s Van Jones has a book, “Facing the Messy Truth,” due this fall

Hogwarts as a Mudblood and would have to face discrimination because of it. Thanks to “Star Wars,” every little girl who thought “princess” was the pinnacle of a woman’s career now knows that “general” is a possibility. And if you can’t see the similarities between terrified parents putting Kal-El in a spaceship to flee a world in danger and terrified parents putting Alan Kurdi in a rickety boat for the same reason, you are deliberately not looking closely enough. And once you start looking closely, you have to ask why the outcomes for those two people were so different: One became the image of ideals, and one — dead at 3, facedown on a Greek beach — became the image of inaction. Farhadi’s absence will put a human face on a political situation. Whatever happens at the Oscars, it’s ludicrous to think that the artists in attendance should shut their mouths and get back to work. Art and politics aren’t separate. They never have been, and they aren’t now. That’s the thing with pop culture: It’s a production of the world, but it also holds a mirror up to it. Sometimes we won’t like what it shows. Read Kristen’s previous columns at washingtonpost.com/thereelist

‘The Salesman’ slyly examines art vs. real life FILM REVIEW From the outset of “The Salesman,” Iranian director Asghar Farhadi announces his metaphorical intentions with blunt clarity. While a young, cosmopolitan husband and wife, Emad and Rana (Shahab Hosseini and Taraneh Alidoosti), rehearse their starring roles in an amateur production of “Death of a Salesman,” their apartment building begins to collapse. Relocated to a new dwelling, they discover that its recent occupant entertained a number of male visitors, a lingering, unsavory history that winds up haunting Emad and Rana. Farhadi juxtaposes Willy and Linda Loman’s relationship in the play with Emad and Rana’s domestic psychodrama, which similarly hinges on issues of masculine pride and a faltering sense of purpose. If the conceit feels obvious and strained, it still gives Farhadi and his actors room to explore the ambiguities of commitment, ethics and revenge in a society where mistrust in public servants runs deep. In the stunning third act, Farhadi’s occasionally shaky parallels between art and life are distilled into a brilliantly staged, searingly confrontational chamber piece. That’s when his Hitchcockian knack for psychological suspense kicks in, and the nominal protagonist of “The Salesman” comes into strange and ultimately confounding focus.

FILM REVIEW There’s a fine line in comedy between the funny and the offensive, and it is the comedian’s job to find it. The only way to know where it lies without getting tripped up by it is to try to brush up against it. What makes this so hard is the subjectivity of humor. A joke that prompts a belly laugh for one person can leave others with sour stomachs. The title character in “The Comedian” is Jackie Burke (Robert De Niro), a washed-up shock comic who is coasting on the success of an old hit sitcom as he struggles to find work in the new landscape of viral comedy. In his stand-up act, Jackie doesn’t so much flirt with that line as deliberately trample it. The allure of transgressive humor is, apparently, one of the film’s themes. When Jackie meets a love interest named Harmony Schiltz (Leslie Mann), his natural instincts kick in: “What?” he asks, after learning her name. “Were your parents in a Nazi barbershop quartet?” What passes for a pickup line is actually one of the funnier jokes in the screenplay, which more often falls flat in its

Robert De Niro’s Jackie Burke has an insult for everyone — maybe even you.

“ROBERT DE NIRO GIVES ONE OF HIS WARMEST PERFORMANCES IN RECENT YEARS. A SPARKLING ENSEMBLE HIGHLIGHTED BY AN ABSOLUTELY LOVELY LESLIE MANN.”

‘The Comedian’ (R, 120 min.)

DIRECTOR: Taylor Hackford STARS: Robert De Niro, Leslie Mann IN A NUTSHELL: A has-been shock comic tries to make a comeback while starting a relationship with a significantly younger woman.

attempt to suss out the sweet spot between what-was-he-thinking and sparkling wit. At times, the barrage of bad jokes seems to invite philosophical contemplation of what’s funny; at others, they just feel like misfires. The fact that the 40-ish Harmony finds Jackie, a foulmouthed flop nearing 70, not just funny but attractive also makes

the film something of a mystery. The movie is at heart a shaggydog story: long, pointless, inconsequential and filled with odd details. Although it hints at the unhappiness — and, occasionally, outright hostility — that underlies humor, “The Comedian” never really seems all that interested in probing the comic’s psychological wounds. Despite two comedy consultants having worked on the film, De Niro’s Jackie never comes across as especially funny on stage (or especially likable off). Rather, as Harmony observes, all too insightfully, about the character’s unfortunate tendency to accumulate ex-wives: “Maybe you’re just an a--hole.” MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

EXPECTED RELEASE: March 31

EXPECTED RELEASE: April 21

SUMMARY: In the trailer set to “debut” during the Super Bowl — after being released Thursday, because “debut” doesn’t mean anything anymore — Scarlett Johansson plays a robot assassin who wears crazy Spanx that basically makes her look naked all the time. Sure, she does other stuff, too, but the Naked Spanx is clearly a draw. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

SUMMARY: Based on the true story of British explorer Percival Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), “Z” (pronounced “zed,” because that’s what they say over there) is about Fawcett’s attempt to find an Amazonian civilization that may or may not exist. In his travels, he meets many people, including some who may or may not want to kill him. K.P.K.

“TRENDWATCH 2017.”

I pass Lester every day. His cheerful demeanor and positive attitude always puts a smile on my face. And with all the turmoil going on in our nation today, we need all the positivity we can get!

@MOLLYMCGLEW predicts that recent images of Beyonce and former President George W. Bush will spark a veil fashion trend this year. When the singer announced her pregnancy Wednesday by releasing a photo of herself surrounded by flowers and wearing a translucent green veil, social media users jumped to compare it to a photo of Bush wearing a rain poncho at President Trump’s inauguration. The paired images became the most unlikely edition of “Who wore it better?” @RichMan646 weighed in on Twitter, writing, “I gotta say, Bush puts Beyonce to shame here.”

White was applauded for his special way to motivate his students after he was featured on the “Today” show. “How the heck does he remember every move!!??” @cbctom tweeted.

“According to Drudge Report, Iran is about to unleash the deadliest weapon of the 20th century: Jar Jar Binks.” @ATHERTONKD on how the Drudge Report used the above photo of missiles going off — featuring “Star Wars” character Jar Jar Binks — to link to a Reuters story about Iranian missiles. The fabricated photo was mistakenly used by Iran’s Mehr News Agency in 2012, but it’s unclear if the Drudge meant it as a joke or just didn’t vet it properly.

Instagram photo of Turkish chefturned-meme “Salt Bae” doing his meat-salting routine at the Dubai branch of his Nusr-Et restaurant (Salt Bae’s real name is Nusret Gokce) for Leonardo DiCaprio. No word from DiCaprio on how the meat tasted, or if he even ate it — he’s been rumored to be a vegetarian.

“I don’t like to impute someone’s teenage views to them as an adult. But Gorsuch’s ‘Fascism Forever’ club is bizarre.” @IMILLHISER on the revelation that Donald Trump’s SCOTUS pick, Neil Gorsuch, founded a “Fascism Forever Club” at Georgetown Prep, the elite Jesuit high school he attended in North Bethesda, Md. The Daily Mail, whose report was backed up with yearbook photos, wrote that the club was a reaction to the “left-wing tendencies” of the school’s faculty.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ve been under the influence of something or someone that you cannot quite identify. It may be time to lie low for just a while. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ve been searching the horizon for important signs, and something out of the ordinary may well catch your eye. Examine closely. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You know who holds the key to a particularly stubborn problem, but you may not be ready to ask for a favor from him or her at this time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may have to coordinate the efforts of many under the banner of a single endeavor — and doing so will test your skills to the limit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t make the mistake of blaming another for something that you know full well is your responsibility — if not your fault. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Facing

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Take care that you don’t take up too much time or spend too much energy saying things that don’t need to be said. Economize. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be bouncing quickly between a bright and positive mood and one that is holding you and others back. This phase will soon end.

Today in History 1867: Crown Prince Mutsuhito becomes Japan’s 122nd emperor at age 14, four days after the death of his father, Emperor Komei. (Emperor Meiji, as he is posthumously known, oversaw Japan’s transition from a feudal state to a capitalist world power.)

DIFFICULT

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.

Kim Kardashian West and Chrissy Teigen are starting a book club. Kardashian West tweeted the news Wednesday, adding that their hairstylist, Jen Atkin, is also involved. “I’m making them read ‘Embraced by the Light’ as our first book!” the reality star shared. Several fans asked how they could join, to which Teigen replied, “I think you just get the book and read, my dude/dudette.” Betty J. Eadie’s “Embraced by the Light,” as Kardashian West put it, is “a story of a woman who died during surgery & came back 2 life. She shares her journey of what heaven is like.” (EXPRESS)
