Hockey helps break the ice THE DISTRICT Washington’s latest experiment with hockey diplomacy started with a 27-year-old woman, wearing a Capitals jersey and a hijab, trying to make her heart stop beating and her legs stop shaking.

Fatima Al Ali, a soft-spoken hockey fanatic from the United Arab Emirates, had flown across the world at the invitation of her favorite team. She had lunched with the team’s executives at the UAE embassy, visited with the team’s stars in their Verizon Center dressing room and broken into tears at the intensity of it all.

Now she sat on the bench at the team’s practice rink Wednesday afternoon, surrounded by a dozen television cameras and a gaggle of photographers — the sort of crowd that usually emerges only during the playoffs. Her younger brother sat next to her, and Al Ali kept leaning over, asking him to remind her to breathe.

Al Ali, who was introduced to hockey while working as the official photographer for the UAE men’s national team in 2008, will

also participate in a ceremonial puck drop before today’s game against the Red Wings.

When practice broke, she was beckoned onto the ice, and players tapped their sticks to welcome the newcomer. Then, between whistling shots at the net and fiddling with an unfamiliar stick, she figured out how to calm down.

“Just talking about hockey — something we all share, and something we all love,” she said.

So she chatted with Russian Alex Ovechkin, her favorite

“It almost just makes me alive, makes me have energy, excited.

I don’t know — I feel like I’m home. … This is where I should be.”

FATIMA AL ALI, a player for the UAE’s female ice hockey team, while in the U.S. visiting the Washington Capitals

player, about trying to find ice time in Abu Dhabi. (“She was amazing,” Ovechkin said.) She talked about blade curvature with American T.J. Oshie, whose stick she borrowed. (“To see the smile on her face out there, obviously she was doing what she loves,” he said.) She received a playful mid-ice nudge from Canadian Justin Williams, and worked on scooping the puck off the ice with Canadian Tom Wilson. And when she later took a pass from Ovechkin and sent a one-timer into the net, the international roster whooped, Russian Evgeny Kuznetsov pumping his arm in celebration.

CBS Evening News, PBS, CNN and Reuters were at this Capitals practice because of the young woman in the hijab, a striking image at this particular moment. On the ice, though, they weren’t talking about international relations.

“For me, it’s just a hockey player seeing another hockey player go out there and have some fun,” Oshie said. “I don’t really need to or want to get into the political stuff. My first impression was just that it’s cool that someone from so far away can still share the love of the game.”

D.C. smashes 117-year-old temp. record The record high temperature for Feb. 8 has been broken. The high temperature came in around noon Wednesday — a steamy 74 degrees — thanks to lots of sunshine and a strong wind from the west. The record at National, originally set in 1900, was 68 degrees.

It was tied in 2015, but hadn’t been surpassed until Wednesday. Brace for a change, though.

At 10 a.m. today, the temperature is expected to drop 30 degrees in the D.C. metro area. By Friday morning, it’s expected to be 40 degrees cooler. (TWP)

Judge blocks release of officer’s name in shooting VIRGINIA A federal judge has temporarily blocked the release of the name of a Fairfax County, Va., police officer involved in a fatal shooting after the officer filed a lawsuit claiming the move could put his or her safety at risk.

The case in U.S. District Court in Alexandria potentially sets up a major legal clash that pits police departments’ efforts to be more transparent about police shootings against growing concerns by some officers that they could be targeted for reprisals.

A U.S. District Court judge

granted the officer’s request for a temporary restraining order Monday and scheduled a preliminary injunction hearing for today.

The officer fatally shot a man in Herndon on Jan. 16 after, police said, the man lunged at officers with a knife following a two-hour standoff at his home. Before the fatal encounter, police said, the man had shot two other men, set his home ablaze and held a roommate hostage inside. Police said the roommate was in danger.

Last year, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors enacted a policy requiring the department

THE DISTRICT

Man shot by police was allegedly holding BB gun

to release the names of officers involved in the use of fatal force within 10 days of the incident, except in instances where there is a credible threat to safety.

The policy was adopted as part of a wave of reforms after the controversial fatal shooting of an unarmed Springfield man, John Geer, in 2013. Police did not release Officer Adam Torres’ name until a judge ordered it 16 months after the shooting.

The criminal and internal investigations into the Herndon shooting are ongoing.

local Special election comes after ex-mayor caught in sex-for-drug scandal

FAIRFAX CITY Fairfax City Council member David L. Meyer won a special election Tuesday night to become the city’s next mayor, a step toward normalcy for the municipal government after the 2016 arrest of then-mayor Scott Silverthorne on charges of trading meth for sex.

Meyer, who is in his fifth term on the council, won the mayor’s

seat with 1,644 votes. Council member Eleanor D. Schmidt received 1,190 votes, while fellow member Michael J. DeMarco took 943 votes.

In another special election held Tuesday in Virginia, Jeff Bourne won the House of Delegates seat vacated by fellow Richmond-area Democrat Jennifer McLellan, who was elected to the state Senate last month. Bourne received 90 percent of the vote.

Meyer will serve out the rest of Silverthorne’s term, which expires in July 2018.

In a new ‘gold’ rush, loggers flock to Calif.

Ohio zoo has high hopes for tiger cubs

CALIFORNIA Outside Dana Smith’s office in Shaver Lake, Calif., stands 10 majestic ponderosa pines that grew 200 feet over about 250 years, a regal presence that lured Smith to the spot where he runs a business renting vacation cottages a few miles south of Yosemite National Park.

The trees are also dead, victims of a five-year drought — the longest and worst in state history — that has wiped out 102 million trees in the Sierra Nevada.

But this ecological tragedy has a silver lining. California is in the middle of a $50 million effort to get rid of tens of thousands of dead trees that threaten roads, power lines and homes. Loggers from across the country are flocking to the state in search of a huge payday from tree-removal companies under contract with the state and a few private firms.

“They’re coming from Iowa, Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania,” Smith said. “They tend to be young, people in really good shape — climbing trees, using chain saws six or seven days a week.”

The jobs are so good and seem so stable that some loggers are uprooting their families from states such as Oregon and Georgia and relocating to California.

RICH PEDRONCELLI (AP)

Millions of trees killed by drought are a boon for removal companies

California State Parks Supervising Ranger Rony Tealdi examines a tree toppled by a storm in January in Calaveras Big Trees State Park.

As the number of dead trees grew, so did the number of treecutters. They started arriving in a trickle in 2015, when the U.S. Forest Service counted 66 million dead trees. After the mortality skyrocketed to more than 100 million trees and Gov. Jerry Brown attached tens of millions of dollars to an emergency order last year, lumberjacks started arriving in droves.

The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) allocated $11 million to slice away massive trees before they keel over onto two key roads.

As of January, CalTrans had

identified nearly 30,000 trees it wanted removed along State Routes 41 and 168. The agency pays up to $1,000 per tree, an official said.

About 8,000 have been removed at a c ost of about $6.5 million.

“You could easily have traffic on a two-lane road backed up 20 or so miles in both directions,” said Cory Burkarth, a spokesman for the agency. “And State Route 41 is the main road in the area.

That’s a major concern, what a fallen tree can do to the safety of motorists and passengers.” DARRYL

The Cincinnati Zoo’s nursery is caring for three Malayan tiger cubs that were born last week, after their first-time mother’s maternal instincts didn’t kick in. The zoo said it’s not an uncommon reaction for a first-time tiger mother, but without their mother’s warmth, the cubs’ body temperatures would fall too low. It’s estimated that there are fewer than 500 Malayan tigers left in the world. Zoo officials hope the endangered Malayan tiger babies someday will contribute much-needed genetic diversity for species survival efforts, because their mother is the most genetically valuable female Malayan tiger in the zoo population, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

Yemen examines U.S. raid Country denies report indicating ban on future American-led missions NATIONAL SECURITY Yemen’s top diplomat said Wednesday that the country has called for a “reassessment” of a Jan. 28 raid that left several civilians and a U.S. service member dead, but that Yemen did not issue an outright ban on future American-led missions.

A statement by Yemen’s foreign minister, Abdul-Malik alMekhlafi, followed a report in The

New York Times that Yemen had revoked permissions for the U.S. to continue ground counterterrorism operations in the country, a base for one of al-Qaeda’s most dangerous affiliates.

Mekhlafi said, “Yemen continues to cooperate with the United States and continues to abide by all the agreements.” He added that the Yemeni government “is involved in talks with the U.S. administration on the latest raid.”

He said reports that Yemen has demanded a halt to U.S. special operations are “not true.”

“We are aware of [the] reports,”

said acting State Department spokesman Mark Toner. “We note that the Yemeni foreign minister has denied these reports.”

If the Yemeni government moves to restrict U.S.-led missions in the country, it would mark a significant setback for the Trump administration, as it has readied plans to expand and accelerate operations in Yemen in an effort to curb the growth of alQaeda. The plans, an outgrowth of the Obama administration’s strategy, were put on hold by the outgoing president for review by Trump. (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

Rebuke boosts Warren

The GOP’s silencing of the Massachusetts senator adds to her liberal credentials

Gorsuch calls Trump’s attacks ‘demoralizing’

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was stopped from speaking on the Senate floor about fellow Sen. Jeff Sessions.

Republicans argued they were just trying to enforce necessary rules of decorum in a Senate that is seen as a last bulwark of civil debate in an angry nation.

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Tex., was more direct with his attempt to force the Senate back on track. He described the past week of partisan fighting as a “race to the bottom in terms of decorum” and rhetoric, and he chastised senators for their public demonstrations.

“I hope that maybe we’ve all been chastened,” Cornyn said.

“I hope that maybe we all have learned something.”

But the debate immediately took on overtones of race and gender. Several male Democratic senators subsequently stood up and read from the same letter but without drawing objections, leading Democratic activists to allege that Senate Republicans were interested only in silencing a woman.

J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE (AP)

POLITICS The turbulent national debate over race, gender and free speech consumed the normally staid Senate on Wednesday after the GOP majority voted to silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren, elevating her celebrity status at a moment when liberals are hungry for a leader to take on Donald Trump.

Tuesday night’s highly unusual rebuke of the Massachusetts Democrat came as the Senate weighed President Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who was confirmed shortly before Express’ deadline Wednesday night. Warren was chastised under a little-used Senate regulation, Rule 19, which bars any senator from impugning the motives of any other.

“She was given an explanation.

Nevertheless, she persisted,” McConnell said in words that sparked liberal outrage and Twitter hashtags.

He interrupted Warren while she was quoting from a 1986 letter from Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow, Coretta Scott King, that accused Sessions, a federal prosecutor at the time, of using the power of his office to “chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens.”

The incident gave frustrated Democrats a rallying cry weeks into a presidency that is dividing the country like few before.

“I certainly hope that this anti-free-speech attitude is not traveling down Pennsylvania Avenue to our great chamber,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York warned darkly, as Democrats jumped at an opening to link the GOP’s conduct to that of Trump himself. “This is not what America is about — silencing speech, especially in this chamber.”

Sessions confirmed The Senate on Wednesday confirmed Sen. Jeff Sessions to be attorney general. The 52-47 nearly party-line vote capped weeks of divisive battles over Sessions, an early supporter of President Trump and one of the Senate’s most conservative lawmakers. Democrats laced into Sessions, casting him as too cozy with Trump and too harsh on immigrants.

They asserted he wouldn’t do enough to protect voting rights of minorities, protections for gays and the legal right of women to obtain an abortion. (AP)

The moment inspired a Twitter hashtag, #LetLizSpeak, and clips from C-SPAN2 went viral.

“By silencing Elizabeth Warren, the GOP gave women around the world a rallying cry,” fellow Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California said via Twitter.

Warren, meanwhile, seen as

New York Times: ISIS detainees may be held at Guantanamo, draft executive order shows

a possible presidential candidate in 2020 along with a handful of other Senate colleagues, was given an even bigger platform. By midafternoon Wednesday, she had raised more than $286,000 for her re-election campaign from more than 10,500 MoveOn members alone, the liberal group said.

“This is about Coretta Scott King’s letter. And that’s all this is about,” Warren said after finishing more than an hour’s worth of television interviews in the ornate rotunda of a Senate office building. “And Mitch McConnell didn’t want me to read that letter.

He stopped me. And so I went out and read the letter anyway and posted it on a live feed.”

Democrats challenged McConnell’s ruling, but the GOP majority voted to uphold it, barring Warren from speaking on the floor throughout the remainder of the debate over Sessions.

ERICA WERNER (AP)

POLITICS President Trump’s attacks on the judicial branch drew denunciation Wednesday from his Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, who told a lawmaker that the attacks were “demoralizing” and “disheartening” to federal courts.

“I told him how abhorrent Donald Trump’s invective and insults are toward the judiciary.

And he said to me that he found them ‘disheartening’ and ‘demoralizing’ — his words,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D- Conn., said in an interview.

Gorsuch “stated very emotionally and strongly his belief in his fellow judges’ integrity and the principle of judicial independence,” the senator added. “And I made clear to him that that belief requires him to be stronger and more explicit, more public in his views.”

Gorsuch’s comments to Blumenthal were confirmed by an aide tasked with helping with the confirmation process.

Trump has been on a crusade against the judicial branch after a Seattle judge halted his executive order temporarily barring entry to the U.S. of refugees and immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries. A three-judge panel in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is deliberating the order. Trump has attacked the federal judge in the case and has suggested that courts should be blamed if there is a terrorist attack. ABBY PHILLIP, ROBERT BARNES AND ED O’KEEFE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Former prime minister takes reins of country wracked by corruption MOGADISHU, SOMALIA A former prime minister who holds dual Somali-U.S. citizenship was declared Somalia’s new president Wednesday, immediately taking the oath of office as the country moved toward its first fully functioning central government in a quarter-century.

Incumbent President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud conceded defeat to former Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo after two rounds of voting, saying that “history was made; we have taken this path to democracy.”

Fears of attacks by extremist group al-Shabab limited the election to members of the upper and lower houses of parliament instead of the population at large.

Lawmakers voted at a heavily guarded former air force base in the capital, Mogadishu.

Mohamud held a slight lead over Farmajo, 88 votes to 72, among 21 candidates in the first round, but Farmajo won the second round between three candidates, with 184 votes to Mohamud’s 97.

New Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo waves after beating the incumbent candidate.

Somali people, and this is the beginning of the era of the unity, the democracy of Somalia and the beginning of the fight against corruption,” Farmajo said. “There is a daunting task ahead of me, and I know that.”

Farmajo, who is in his mid50s and holds degrees from the State University of New York in Buffalo, was prime minister for eight months before leaving the post in 2011.

Somalia, one of the seven nations targeted by President Trump’s travel ban, began to fall apart in 1991, when warlords ousted dictator Siad Barre and then turned on each other.

A Practical Management Education for an Increasingly Technical World

University of California researchers found that a male contraceptive gel called Vasalgel worked on 16 monkeys, the BBC reported Tuesday. The gel is injected into the tubes carrying the sperm. The procedure — seen as a long-term, but reversible method — is still likely a few years away from being tested on men. (EXPRESS)

Women seek birth control to outlast Trump Since the election of President Trump, women have been seeing their gynecologists specifically to ask about birth control.

Why? If the Affordable Care Act is repealed, as Trump has promised, contraceptives could get a lot more expensive. Since 2012, the ACA has required that private health insurance plans cover prescription contraceptives with no cost-sharing for patients.

Also, women see a Congress that is threatening to defund Planned Parenthood and a vice president who has promised to restrict access to abortion — and they want to do whatever they can to avoid an unplanned pregnancy.

For some, the best options are an IUD, a small T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus, or Nexplanon, a hormonal arm implant. Aside from being the most effective forms of reversible birth control on the market, for most with insurance, they’re free (for now), and they can last from three to 12 years.

A report last month found a 19 percent bump in the number of doctors’ visits related to IUDs from October to December 2016.

Julian Safran, a doctor at Capital Women’s Care in Washington, said his office has been doing three to four times as many insertions as compared with before the election. Dana Shanis’ gynecological practice in Philadelphia used to order 15 to 20 IUDs at a time and now they’re placing orders of 50. LISA BONOS

Mikaela Shiffrin hopes to be the first female skier to win four golds at one Winter Olympics.

3 THINGS TO WATCH

Mountainous dreams SKIING Less than three weeks before her 19th birthday, Mikaela Shiffrin was just a day removed from her first Olympic medal. Youthful enthusiasm got the best of her, and she began talking about her plans to win several more.

“Right now, I’m dreaming of the next Olympics,” she said then, “winning five gold medals, which sounds really crazy.”

Three years later, the alpine skier’s dreams haven’t dimmed.

Later this month, Shiffrin, 21, will visit PyeongChang, South Korea, for the first time. She’ll get chance to set her skis in new snow and dream about what might be waiting there in 2018.

Today is the one-year-out mark for the opening ceremonies.

While the clock ticks, several big questions linger for the U.S.

25%

Among them: To what extent will Russian athletes, still under a cloud of doping suspicions, be allowed to compete? Which newcomers will supplant the many aging or recently retired American stars?

What is known: Shiffrin, one of the best-known and most reliable stars for the American team, expects to be back. She’s the leader in this season’s standings for the overall World Cup title and is in St. Moritz, Switzerland, this week competing in the world championships. Shiffrin is trying to win a third straight slalom title there and will also race the giant slalom.

But these world championships aren’t exactly a preview of next winter’s Olympics, she says. That dream of winning five medals is still far-fetched, but it isn’t dead.

Mikaela Shiffrin eyes record-setting haul with the Olympics just one year away

NHL still not locked in NHL and international hockey officials met with IOC president Thomas Bach last week to discuss whether the league will participate in the Winter Olympics in South Korea next year, but no resolution was reached. NHL owners are reluctant to pause the season for three weeks and are put off by a 14-hour time difference and a small market in South Korea. Most players, such as the Capitals’ Nicklas Backstrom (Sweden), say they want to go. (AP)

Only one female skier — Croatia’s Janica Kostelic — has won as many as three Alpine golds at a single Olympics (2002).

Since Sochi, Shiffrin has dabbled in the speed events. She started competing last year in the super-G and the combined, and earlier this season she made her downhill debut.

Focusing on just the technical races at these world championships is part of a plan that could pay dividends a year from now.

“These are the kinds of periods where I can make breakthroughs with my skiing, with my equipment, with my mentality that ... could very well be the difference between a gold medal and 10th place,” she said.

After the world championships, she’ll keep testing herself in the speed events and isn’t yet ready to rule out any of them for PyeongChang.

“I’m trying to set myself up to be a medal contender in three or maybe four events,” she said this week, “which would be really incredible.” RICK MAESE

Rapinoe left off of team for tournament in March

Rookie forward Sanford recalled from Hershey

After squandering a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl, the Falcons are shaking up their defensive staff.

The team said Wednesday that coach Dan Quinn has dismissed coordinator Richard Smith and defensive line coach Bryan Cox. Atlanta is considering defensive assistants Marquand Manuel, Jeff Ulbrich and Jerome Henderson as replacements for Smith. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan left to become head coach of the 49ers and was replaced by Steve Sarkisian on Tuesday. Falcons quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur is expected to be named offensive coordinator of the Rams under Sean McVay. (AP)

Megan Rapinoe, the U.S. soccer star who stirred controversy last summer by kneeling during the national anthem, was left off the roster for a tournament next month featuring four of the top-five ranked women’s teams in the world.

Rapinoe, 31, has had a hard time regaining her world-class form since tearing an ACL in December 2015.

She was invited to an expanded training camp in Los Angeles last month but apparently did not perform well enough to make the 25-member squad. The top-ranked Americans face No. 2 Germany in the SheBelieves Cup on March 1 in Chester, Pa. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The Capitals have recalled forward Zach Sanford from the Hershey Bears, their American Hockey League affiliate. The team intends to have Sanford through Saturday’s game against Anaheim. Sanford was recalled before the Capitals’ beat the Hurricanes 5-0 on Tuesday, so the move wasn’t meant to spell T.J. Oshie or Jay Beagle, who were both nicked up during the game.

Signed by the Capitals out of Boston College in the summer, Sanford has earned one assist in 20 games with Washington this season. Coach Barry Trotz said the team wanted to “get a look” at Sanford, and the timing was right this week. (TWP)

Help find D.C.’s best cheap whiskey DRINKS If you’re a fan of bourbon, you know that it’s getting much more expensive to buy. The latest outrage: Heaven Hill’s decision to reformulate Pikesville Rye, a staple of neighborhood bars.

Instead of a 3-year-old whiskey, which sells for $17 per bottle, the distillery will age the whiskey for an extra three years, cut it to a higher proof, market it as a premium product and sell it for

LITTLE MISS WHISKEY’S

Sample and rank your favorites from Little Miss Whiskey’s new list

Little Miss Whiskey’s Budget Boozer’s challenge includes 20 bottles.

almost triple the price.

Mark Thorp, the whiskeyloving owner of Little Miss Whiskey’s (1104 H St. NE), feels this pain. “Living in D.C. is painfully

expensive, and almost all of the ‘new’ whiskey on the market is absurdly expensive,” he says. In an effort to help customers find new and affordable whiskeys,

he has created a new whiskey menu and competition called the Budget Boozer’s U.S. Whiskey Challenge.

The only requirement for inclusion was that a 1-liter bottle must cost $18 or less in a liquor store. Thorp managed to find 20 bourbons, ryes and corn whiskeys that fit the bill. Some, such as Virginia Gentleman, Old Forester and Old Crow, might be familiar names. Mellow Corn is loved by bartenders, but isn’t really that popular with the public. Others are more frequently found on dusty bottom shelves — forgotten bottles like Fighting

Cock, McAfee’s Benchmark Old No. 8 and Cabin Still.

For the next few months, Little Miss Whiskey’s will sell halfshots of any three whiskeys from Thorp’s list for $9. Pick a trio to sample and then rank them on a scorecard provided by the bartender. Thorp says he’ll keep track of the results and post a new leaderboard behind the bar every few weeks, depending on how many people participate.

You won’t find a replacement for Pikesville Rye among these bottles, but you might find your new dive bar go-to.

What was your key to surviving a stressful election year?

SS: You have to watch really s---ty TV. I’m currently watching Season 32 of “The Real World” — yes, that show is still on. It’s delectably trashy and I love it.

TK: Whenever possible, I went running. When I went for a run and saw fall color I was like, “It’s almost over, I’ve almost made it.”

SD: When I was home, cooking helped a lot. There was so much stuff zooming around in your brain that having an activity was key.

What do TV and movies get wrong about D.C. journalists?

SS: We don’t have that much sex.

[On TV,] either we’re screwing our sources or sleeping with our

co-workers, and I can tell you I’ve never done either.

TK: What they don’t show: how incredibly mundane it can be, how unglamorous it is, how we aren’t all having affairs with congresspeople to get great tips.

How some of the best journalism comes from actually reading the executive order or the bill. But that doesn’t make good entertainment.

SD: We do not happen to have perfect sources just from our background. Like, “My college roommate happens to be on the National Security Council, let’s text him!”

Favorite moment in the show: “When I come out and see all those little ones who are dressed like me and screaming my name.”

Favorite moment in the show: “Coming out and just hearing all of the little kids — and even the adults sometimes — shouting out, ‘Ariel!’ That is something.”

Favorite moment in the show: “I literally start the ‘Frozen’ segment by running out onto the ice, and to hear the kids’ reaction is completely unbelievable.”

Hardest move: Either her double jumps or a death drop. “It sounds a lot worse than it actually is. You jump up, split both legs and come down in a spin.”

Hardest move: The plaza, performed with Prince Eric. “He picks me up with one arm and I’m sideways in the air and he has me by my hip and is spinning.”

Best thing about performing her princess: “She’s ambitious, goal-oriented, but a little bit sassy and I really play off of that … because she’s so much like me.”

Best thing about performing her princess: “I wore out the VHS tape of the movie, so being able to go out and bring this character to life for everyone … is really special.”

Hardest move: A double lutz, where she skates backward on the outside edge of her left skate, jumps up and spins around twice, and then lands backward on the outside edge of her right skate.

What Tiana teaches kids: “Always dream big and follow your dreams and never stop for anyone or anything. She went after what she wanted and in the end she got what she wanted — and more.”

What Ariel teaches kids: “She’s very curious and is always trying to learn something new. Just go out and ask questions and learn things. You might be wrong, but that’s how you learn.”

Best thing about performing her princess: “She’s so relatable for a lot of people. Everybody’s got that kind of clumsy, goofy, quirky side to them, and Anna is the perfect way to bring that out.”

What Anna teaches kids: “She’s determined and motivated and wants to do what’s right, and she’s not going to let someone stop her.”

Message in a bouquet During the Victorian era, a lot had to be left unsaid. To be too forward was to risk too much. So would-be romancers turned to tussie-mussies — meaning-laden bouquets that were the emojis of their day, florist Sarah von Pollaro says. “Like, I can’t quite say what I’m feeling, so here’s a picture! They’re feelings in a flower.”

The owner of Urban Petals Floral Design, von Pollaro will lead a hands-on chat and craft session, “Tussie-Mussies: A Victorian Language of Flowers Workshop,” on Valentine’s Day as part of the Smithsonian Associates’ series on the Gilded Age. Attendees will learn about the significance of the bouquets and their popularity in England and the U.S., and will walk away with a tussie-mussie of their own. The messages delivered by Victorian-era tussiemussies sound rather quaint now (one arrangement, for example, meant “your modesty and amiability inspire me”), so von Pollaro has put together some updated bouquets better suited for modern sensibilities. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) S. Dillon Ripley Center, 1100 Jefferson Drive SW; Tue., 6:30-8 p.m., $85.

In the Victorian era, daisies and sweet potato vines both signaled interest, so von Pollaro has kept that going. “The daisies mean ‘Hey, I’m interested’ and the sweet potato vine means ‘You’re delicious,’ ” von Pollaro says. Eucalyptus is often used to cool and soothe, so its presence keeps the connection casual.

“This is like ‘pass, PASS,’ ” von Pollaro says. Yellow carnations signified an absolute rejection of a romantic advance and were usually sent from a woman to a man. Carnations “do happen to be kind of cheap,” von Pollaro says. “So I guess it’s an easy way to say no.”

Red has always been the color of love, but here von Pollaro takes it to a new level. The tulip is a declaration of love, the alstroemeria signifies devotion and myrtle has been a symbol of love since ancient Greece (and is still a common flower in bridal bouquets). “This is the big one,” von Pollaro says. “This says, ‘You can meet my parents.’ ”

Divided into two showcases presented back to back, the event highlights some of the films from DC Shorts’ 2016 festival, all of which won either jury or audience choice awards. We liked “The Chop,” a comedy about a kosher butcher who, after losing his job, pretends to be a Muslim to get work at a halal butcher shop.

Like it or not, Valentine’s Day is almost here, which can make you crabby for two reasons: Either it’s a holiday that, through singleness or anti-commercialism, you don’t care about, or it’s a holiday you DO care about but you’re aggravated because it’s on a weeknight, so doing something elaborate is a pain.

Good thing the Angelika Mosaic has stepped up with a showing of “Casablanca,” so you can swoon at Rick and Ilsa not getting together (oh, stop — it’s not a spoiler if the movie is 75 years old). Sit back, settle in and clink plastic glasses of wine with a loved one in a toast to romance and refugees.

Miracle Theatre, 535 Eighth St. SE; Fri., 7 and 9 p.m., $15 per showcase ($25 for both).

She’ll show her true swipes You can help comedian Lane Moore navigate Tinder at her live show

If you’re trying to get the most out of dating apps, “Tinder Live!” host Lane Moore has some tips for putting your best virtual self out there. B.C. BE AWARE OF HOW YOU PRESENT YOURSELF: “When you’re setting up a profile, it’s hard to know if you’re marketing yourself properly,” Moore says.

“Are you showing the world who you actually are?” A photo of you being chummy and close with your friends might seem fine to you, but to those looking at your profile without any context, the photo might seem more intimate. “Do you have your photo with your arm around [someone]? I don’t want to see what I’d only assume is your ex.”

BE SPECIFIC — IT MAKES YOU STAND OUT: “I look for a sense of humor in their profile or a little joke or a TV show they love that not everybody else knows about,” Moore says. “If you’re putting that TV show that everyone watches — that’s a wide net. There’s something nice about putting something niche, because people are much more excited to talk about it because they don’t get to talk about it a lot.”

COMEDY Lane Moore wants you to know that you, single person swiping left and right into the wee hours of the morning, are not alone.

In her interactive comedy show “Tinder Live!” — coming to the Lincoln Theatre on Valentine’s Day — the comedian swipes through profiles on the dating app as they appear on a screen in front of the audience, engaging with schmucks and the good eggs alike, in real time.

“When you’re on Tinder with your friends and you all chime in together, it feels like an event, and I wanted to have that happen on a large scale,” Moore says.

In D.C., she’ll be joined onstage by actress Heather Matarazzo (“The Princess Diaries”) and Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri.

The night is designed to feel as much like a therapeutic exercise as a comedy show. Moore brings

Perfect your match game

DON’T BE THAT APATHETIC DUD: Try starting a conversation with a question that “gives them the opportunity to throw the ball back,” Moore says. “A lot of people respond to questions just with answers and that’s not a conversation [and] that doesn’t tell me you have a personality.” Remember that when somebody reaches out to you. “I’m not trying to unlock a password or anything! I’m just trying to start a conversation and get to know you.”

Lane Moore hopes her comedy show helps Tinder users feel less alone.

the uncomfortable etiquette of Tinder out in public by swiping, texting and sometimes calling the app’s users.

Even as the profiles get stranger, the show reminds you

that it’s not just weirdos on Tinder — there are normal people out there, too. Even normal people you could meet — gasp! — in person.

“I could not recommend more

that single people come to the show,” Moore says, adding that it’s not a bad place to meet people in your same boat. “There’s still a bar [at the theater] and you’re probably going to meet a

03.31 Vince Staples California rapper Vince Staples recently dropped his “Yeezus”-inspired single “BagPak,” from his next studio album, which is due out soon. Though the track doesn’t mention President Trump by name, Staples does have a message for the new POTUS with the track, and it’s not exactly welcoming. In March, he brings his “The Life Aquatic Tour” to the 9:30 Club.

‘The world’s greatest roast’ OSCAR FAVORITES

‘Hidden Figures’ is now the highest-grossing best picture nominee

Melissa McCarthy’s impersonation of press secretary Sean Spicer reportedly touched a nerve at the White House.

The New York Times reported, citing a West Wing aide.

“SNL’s” Trump characterization, played by Alec Baldwin — who is hosting this weekend’s episode — got under Trump’s skin when he was a candidate, a president-elect and now as president. He has repeatedly discussed and tweeted about Baldwin’s impersonation, calling it mean-spirited and biased.

“This is the world’s greatest roast with the most serious consequences in the history of our country,” says stand-up comic Andy Kindler. “This is a classic situation where the more the target shows weakness, the more the target needs to be prodded.

That’s why I think Alec Baldwin

is having the time of his life.”

For Trump, the most problematic aspect of the “SNL” Spicer sketch was that a woman played Spicer, Politico reported. This speaks volumes about Trump’s c onc ept of we a k ness a nd strength — particularly since the cross-gender casting isn’t what made the sketch go viral. It was because it was incredibly funny, thanks to McCarthy’s comedic mastery. Trump’s focus on the cross-gender casting shows he may have missed the joke, about a White House spokesman making hilariously illogical defenses and shouting down reporters.

“He doesn’t get comedy — it’s being misinterpreted by him, but it’s great it’s angering him

so much,” said Glaser.

This dynamic of jokes affecting Trump is a double-edged sword for those who stand opposed to the president. He could react in ways they don’t want.

Glaser points to President Barack Obama’s jokes at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner about a possible Trump presidency.

Some believe this may have inadvertently encouraged him to run for president, although it’s a narrative Trump has denied.

“Comedy got us into this,” she says. Still, “there are bullies on their side, but we can bully them with comedy — it’s just outsmarting them with comedy.” ELAHE IZADI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

AWARDS SHOWS

Grammys will salute Prince and George Michael Sunday’s Grammy Awards will include special tributes to pop music icons Prince and George Michael, both of whom died last year. Organizers said the program will include two performances in honor of the stars. The announcement didn’t say who will perform the tributes. Previously announced performers include Lady Gaga with Metallica, Adele, Alicia Keys, John Legend and Bruno Mars. (AP) Netflix renews “The OA” for Season 2, “Love” for Season 3

NASA mathematicians drama “Hidden Figures” has surpassed neo-musical “La La Land” in total U.S. box office sales, IndieWire reported, to become the highest-grossing film nominated in the best picture category for this year’s Academy Awards. (“La La Land,” which was released in the U.S. two weeks before “Hidden Figures,” had been the highest-grossing best picture nominee thus far.) “Hidden Figures” brought its box office total to $119 million this past weekend, while “La La Land” peaked at $118 million.

COMEDY When he was a presidential candidate, no attempt to ridicule Donald Trump’s controversies could derail his successful road to the White House. But now that Trump has claimed the Oval Office, it’s clear he’s a president who cares very deeply about appearances — so much so that a “Saturday Night Live” sketch could affect how he proceeds.

Melissa McCarthy’s frustrated, unhinged parody of White House press secretary Sean Spicer on last weekend’s “SNL” unsettled the White House and bothered Trump, and her performance was seen as potentially hurting Spicer’s longevity in the job, Politico reported, citing people close to the president.

Yes, a late-night comedian’s performance could affect what Trump does as president — and this is rousing some anti-Trump comedians.

“I was just so excited to hear he was upset about it, because it feels like comedy is a weapon that we can use against them, that they don’t have,” stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser says.

McCarthy lampooned one of the most visible members of Trump’s White House, who already faces scrutiny by the president. Trump watches Spicer’s press briefings and summons him later for praise and criticism,

Disney CEO: ‘Star Wars’ lands will open in 2019 Disney CEO Bob Iger said the company will open its “Star Wars”-themed areas at California’s Disneyland and Florida’s Walt Disney World in 2019. The 14-acre attractions were announced in 2015 and are under construction at the parks.

Disney says the areas will include attractions and entertainment alongside aliens and droids.

The attractions represent the parks’ largest single themed land expansion ever. Iger also set an opening date of May 27 for the new World of “Avatar” attraction at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. (AP)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will have to figure out what you have in common with a rival if you want to ease tension between your two camps.

TODAY: The snow or rain, or some combination of both, should taper by 9 a.m. or so. The best chance of seeing any road accumulation during the morning commute would be in our far northern suburbs. A few lingering snow showers remain possible through afternoon, as winds gust at 30-40 mph from the northwest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You know what you’re looking at, and you know how to divide it into portions that can be effectively analyzed.

Others clearly benefit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have been empowered to do what you know is necessary, but taking the first step may prove harder than expected.

‘The truth is, this lie could be way better’

Turns out, she is more of an Iron Man girl Captain America actor Chris Evans and comedic actress Jenny Slate have ended their relationship after less than a year together, Us Weekly reported. “It was completely amicable and a mutual decision due to conflicting schedules, and they remain very close friends,” a source said.

The same source added that the two split recently, within the last two or three weeks. (EXPRESS)

In a new GQ magazine profile, British actor Tom Hiddleston provided details about his highly publicized erstwhile relationship with Taylor Swift.

“She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time,” he said. “Of course it was real.” When asked about the infamous “I heart T.S.” T-shirt he was photographed wearing at Swift’s July 4 party, he said: “The truth is, it was the Fourth of July and a public holiday and we were playing a game and I slipped and hurt my back. And I wanted to protect the graze from the sun and said, ‘Does anyone have a T-shirt?’ And one of her friends said, ‘I’ve got this.’ … And we all laughed about it. It was a joke.” (EXPRESS)

Next, Justin will just rip your heart out directly In his Hollywood Reporter cover story, Justin Timberlake revealed details about *NSYNC’s breakup.

“I just felt like the whole thing was too big,” he said. “And, also, I was growing out of it. I felt like I cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group. And I felt like I had other music I wanted to make and that I needed to follow my heart.” (EXPRESS)

“She’s gonna dress up like Blac Chyna and I’m gonna put on a fat suit and be Rob Kardashian.

Gotta keep it hot.”

Two Celine Dion fans got engaged during a meet-andgreet with the singer last Friday at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

Nick Janevski proposed to Austin McMillan, his girlfriend of six months, who posted a photo of the moment to Instagram.

“For like two whole minutes I was just shocked,” McMillan told BuzzFeed. “I just looked at Celine Dion and then we both looked at him. … I just kissed him.” (EXPRESS)
