Atlas Brew Works plans for Navy Yard taproom

REGION On Tuesday, as a winter storm was heading toward the Washington area, Kristen Allen was in the parental purgatory of waiting to hear how her kids’ schools would weather the weather: open, closed or two-hour delay.

But the Allens’ Arlington household is at the mercy of not one school system, but three.

With children enrolled in public and private schools across three jurisdictions, a snow day becomes an algebraically complicated matrix of who needs to be where, when and for how long.

The Allens have a child at Bishop O’Connell High School in Arlington, which links its weather rulings to the Fairfax County school system; one at Gonzaga College High School in the District, which follows the weather dictates of Montgomery County Public Schools; and another child at Arlington’s Williamsburg Middle School.

It’s a familiar cold-weather ritual for families who split kids among several jurisdictions.

Parents with children in multiple districts juggle school closings

Atlas Brew Works announced Tuesday that it will open a second taproom and brewery in spring 2020. Atlas Founder & CEO Justin Cox said in a press release that the new taproom — at 1201 Half Street SE in Navy Yard — will be twice the size of the current tap room in Ivy City, and will include a limited food menu. (EXPRESS)

Snow fell steadily Wednesday throughout the region, as seen in Alexandria, left, and Middletown, Md. But local schools don’t always rule on closures the same way from district to district, causing headaches for parents.

Beholden to more than one front office, these families have a unique perspective on the relative winter wimpiness or flintiness of regional school systems.

Kate Eager and her husband live near Ashburn, Va., and have three kids in Loudoun County schools, a system prone to “calling it at two snowflakes,” she said.

But her oldest son, Liam, is a sophomore at Gonzaga, which Eager said closes less frequently but sometimes waits until the last minute. Sometimes the

15-year-old launches his hourlong Metro commute at 6 a.m., only to have the school weather lords rule in his favor before he even gets there.

“He’s definitely upset when his siblings are all outside playing in the snow,” Eager said.

Allen said she has noticed how the mix of when districts close changes from year to year. This year, Fairfax and Arlington have been quicker to delay or cancel than Montgomery County.

Once the calls have been made,

the trash-talking begins. Students dissing administrators in distant county seats who hold such indirect sway. “Fairfax is closing again? Do you ever go to school?”

Allen said her mini-meteorologists are all wired to the counties’ alert networks.

“The kids are so invested in the outcome that I don’t have manage it very much,” Allen said. “They are usually the first ones to tell me.” STEVE HENDRIX (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘It’s serene for Washington’ Many heed warnings to stay at home as a winter storm hits region

MATT McCLAIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Only a few people ventured out to Dupont Circle early Wednesday during a winter storm.

RICKY CARIOTI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

REGION The full misery of winter weather swept through Washington on Wednesday, closing schools and shuttering government offices as snow gave way to sleet and freezing rain in time to greet the light commuter rush home.

The snow and sleet combined to make driving hazardous, but one day of dreadful weather was expected to turn tame, with high temperatures forecast in the mid-50s today.

“Most people did the best thing they could do today, and just stayed home,” said Ron Snyder, a spokesman for the Maryland State Police.

Though traffic was greatly diminished Wednesday as many offices and schools closed, authorities worried that slick roads would cause fender benders and power lines might topple beneath the weight of freezing rain.

For some residents, it was a chance to take the day off. Others worked from home, while some trudged out into the wintry mix to get to work. Snow totals ranged from 1.5 inches to 6 inches in the Washington region before turning to a wintry mix of precipitation. Thunder snow was reported in parts of Western Maryland.

The 2.6 inches of snow at Reagan National Airport pushed the city’s total this season to 16.6 inches, ensuring an aboveaverage snowfall. Most spots inside the Beltway recorded 2.5 to 4 inches.

Many heeded the advice of local officials to stay home and off roads as snow and sleet carpeted the region.

“We’re seeing an uptick in crashes,” said Taran Hutchinson, who leads the Metropolitan Area Transportation Operations Coordination program, a regional group of transportation agencies. He said none of the midday crashes were major, but possibly happened as people were driving unsafely for the conditions.

Few people — and even fewer vehicles — were out in Wednesday morning’s usually busy rush hour. At the normally traffic-clogged intersection along

Johnny Rogers, 7, took full advantage of his snow day Wednesday, sledding on the Mount Vernon Trail.

K street in downtown Washington, it was relatively quiet.

“I think it’s beautiful,” said Jennifer Ignat, who works in human resources for Deloitte and had come into D.C. a day early from Ellicott City, Md., for a conference. “It’s serene for Washington.”

William Howell, a maintenance worker at George Washington University, hadn’t checked his messages before trekking into work from his home on 14th Street NW. He was sent home because his work was closed for the day.

His plan? “Relax and do some chores,” he said. “I wanted to get out anyway and enjoy it. I like all the seasons.”

Greg Milton, who does maintenance work for Keener Management, said the snow day was his “go time.”

“It was go time for me since 6:30 in the morning,” he said, as he threw salt on sidewalks near 17th Street and Massachusetts Avenue NW. “We don’t want any falls.” DANA HEDGPETH AND ASHLEY HALSEY III (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Georgetown rescinds honorary degree of disgraced ex-cardinal McCarrick

Va. voters split on future of Lt. Gov. Fairfax Virginia voters are evenly split over whether Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, D, should resign after two women accused him of sexual assault, but most voters say the legislature should not consider impeachment until the claims have been investigated, according to a Quinnipiac Poll released Wednesday morning.

Two women, Vanessa Tyson and Meredith Watson, have come forward in the past two weeks to accuse Fairfax of sexual assault. He has strongly denied the allegations and says his encounters with the women were consensual.

Nearly all of Fairfax’s fellow Democratic elected officials have urged him to resign, but voters are divided, 36 percent to 36 percent, over the question, and 28 percent have no opinion, the poll found.

Calls for Gov. Ralph Northam, D, to resign appear to be waning as time passes since the revelation that a racist photo appeared on his 1984 medical school yearbook page.

Fully 51 percent of voters say they do not know whether to believe Fairfax or the accusers.

Of those who do have an opinion, 37 percent believe Tyson and Watson, while 12 percent believe Fairfax, according to the survey.

All three parties have called for an independent investigation. JENNA PORTNOY AND SCOTT CLEMENT

Christopher Paul Hasson is due to appear today in federal court in Maryland after his arrest on gun and drug offenses, but prosecutors say those charges are the “proverbial tip of the iceberg.”

High court rules against excessive state fines COURTS The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday that the Constitution’s prohibition on excessive fines applies to state and local governments, limiting their abilities to impose fines and seize property.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, on just her second day back on the bench after undergoing cancer surgery in December, announced the decision for the court, saying that the Eighth Amendment’s Excessive Fines Clause protects against government retribution.

“For good reason, the protection against excessive fines has been a constant shield throughout Anglo-American history: Exorbitant tolls undermine other constitutional liberties,” Ginsburg wrote.

The court ruled in favor of Tyson Timbs of Marion, Ind., whose $42,000 Land Rover was seized after he was arrested for selling $400 worth of heroin.

He drew wide support from civil liberties organizations that want to limit civil forfeitures, which they say empower localities and law enforcement to seize property of someone suspected of a crime as a revenue stream.

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in a recent opinion that civil forfeitures have

“become widespread and highly profitable.”

“This system — where police can seize property with limited judicial oversight and retain it for their own use — has led to egregious and well-chronicled abuses,” Thomas wrote, referring to reporting by The Washington Post and The New Yorker.

At oral argument, Timbs’ lawyer said the case was a matter of “constitutional housekeeping.”

The Constitution’s Bill of Rights protects against actions of the federal government. But the Supreme Court over time has applied it to state and local governments under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

The Eighth Amendment states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Two of those commands — regarding bail and cruel and unusual punishments — have been deemed to apply to state and local governments. But until now, the ban on excessive fines had not been.

Ginsburg’s opinion makes clear that the clause is “incorporated” under the 14th Amendment’s due process clause. Justices Thomas and Neil Gorsuch agreed, but said they would have relied on a different part of the 14th Amendment. ROBERT BARNES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Prepping for cold warfare

Putin issues warning over U.S. missiles

MILITARY Hunkered down behind a wall of snow, two U.S. Marines melt slush to make drinking water after spending the night digging out a defensive position high in the Sierra Nevada. Their laminated targeting map is wedged into the ice just below the machine gun.

Nearly 8,000 feet up at a training center in the California mountains, the air is thin, the snow is chest-high and the temperature is plunging. But other Marines just a few kilometers away are preparing to attack, and forces on both sides must be able to battle the enemy and the unforgiving environment.

The exercise is designed to train troops for the next war — one the U.S. believes will be against a more capable, high-tech enemy like Russia, North Korea or China. The weather conditions on the mountain mimic the kind of frigid fight that forces could face in one of those hot spots.

“We haven’t had to deal with these things. We’ve been very focused on Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Maj. Gen. William F. Mullen, head of the Marines’ Training and Education Command. “What we really have to do is wake folks up, expose them to things that they haven’t had to think about for quite a while.”

After 17 years of war against

Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked insurgents, the military is shifting its focus to better prepare for great-power competition with Russia and China, and against unpredictable foes such as North Korea and Iran. U.S. forces must be able to survive and fight while countering drones, sophisticated jamming equipment and other electronic and cyber warfare that can track them, disrupt communications and kill them.

“If you were to draw a line from here to the DMZ between North and South Korea, both of these sites are on the 38th parallel. And so the weather here accurately replicates the weather that we would encounter in North and South Korea,” said Col. Kevin Hutchison, the training center commander. “What you’re seeing here is Marines fighting Marines, so we are replicating a near-peer threat.”

The cold and wet conditions force the Marines to use snowshoes and cross-country skis to get around. They wrap white camouflage around their weapons, struggle to keep the ammunition dry and learn how to position their machine guns so they don’t sink into the powdery snow.

“It’s kind of overwhelming coming up here. Many of them have never been exposed to snow before,” said Staff Sgt. Rian

U.S. Marines trek through a snowy trail during training in the California mountains.

A high-tech enemy U.S. Maj. Gen. William F. Mullen recalled speaking to a commander in Ukraine in the aftermath of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. It was an important reminder that U.S. forces must be prepared to counter higher-tech foes than they’ve been facing. “He said that within two minutes of keying his handset, he had rockets coming in on his position,” Mullen recalled. (AP)

Lusk, chief instructor for the mountain sniper course. “You’re constantly having to dig or move up the mountain range. So it’s physically taxing, but more than anything, I think, it’s mentally taxing.”

The Marine Corps has changed its training in the mountain course and at Twentynine Palms Marine base 400 miles south.

Instead of scripted exercises, trainers map out general objectives and let the Marines make their own battle decisions, replicating an unpredictable situation.

Rather than fighting from forward operating bases that stretched across Iraq and Afghanistan, troops now have to be more independent, commanders say, providing their own protection and support. And they must prepare for a high-tech enemy.

The key in both places, said Mullen, is whether the Marines can stay undetected and adjust their battle plan quickly.

“In the Far East, whether it’s in northern Europe, etc., we’re replicating that here. And what we’re finding is, it’s an extremely challenging problem,” said Hutchison. “And it’s a problem that, frankly, if we don’t train to, it’s going to cost a lot of Marine lives.” LOLITA C. BALDOR (AP)

U.S. steps up winter-combat training as the nature of global threats shifts

MOSCOW Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that his country’s new missiles would point toward the United States if Washington deploys missiles in Europe.

Putin emphasized that Russia will only respond if the U.S. makes the first move, but his remarks were among the strongest yet on a potential new arms race after the countries’ mutual pullout from a Cold Warera nuclear weapons treaty.

“Let me be loud and clear,” Putin told lawmakers gathered at a historic hall near the Kremlin for an annual address that is akin to the U.S. State of the Union speech.

He continued with a message to Europe, saying Russia would be “forced to create and deploy types of weapons” that can be used against nations that pose “direct threats.” And in a clear reference to the U.S., Putin said the Russian missiles also could be trained on where “the centers of decision-making are located.”

Putin also used the speech to note that testing of a nuclearcapable glider and underwater drone is now complete and that the two missiles are ready for inclusion in the country’s arsenal this year.

After his speech, state-run TV showed footage of the 80-footlong Poseidon drone being released underwater. It will be released this spring, the Kremlin says. AMIE FERRIS-ROTMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Federal judge OKs lawsuit by parks-advocacy group aimed at halting Obama library in Chicago

MEDIA The family of the Kentucky teen who was involved in an encounter with a Native American advocate at the Lincoln Memorial last month filed a defamation lawsuit against The Washington Post on Tuesday, seeking $250 million in damages for its coverage.

The suit alleges that The Post “targeted and bullied” 16-yearold Nicholas Sandmann in order to embarrass President Trump.

Sandmann was one of a number of students from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky who were wearing red “Make America Great Again” hats during a trip to the Mall when they encountered Nathan Phillips, a Native American activist.

News accounts, including in The Post, and videos of their encounter sparked a heated national debate over the behavior of the participants.

“The Post engaged in a modern-day form of McCarthyism by competing with CNN and NBC, among others, to claim leadership of a mainstream and social media mob of bullies which attacked, vilified, and threatened Nicholas Sandmann, an innocent secondary school child,” reads the complaint.

The suit was filed by Sandmann’s parents on behalf of their son in U.S. District Court in Covington. It seeks $250 million because Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos paid that amount for the newspaper when he bought it in 2013. PAUL FARHI (TWP)

Left turn brings risks New Democrats push their party, and 2020 candidates, leftward on divisive issues Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., speaks as she and other Democrats unveil their Green New Deal.

Trump wants Calif. to return train funding

ALEX WONG (GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS A new generation of Democrats are using far-reaching policy ideas and a brash social media presence to upend the party — pushing it to the left on divisive issues such as health care and climate change while it charts a path aimed at taking the White House in 2020.

But the liberal shift, and the lawmakers driving it, are also creating challenges for Democrats in more conservative areas, and they are giving President Trump and congressional Republicans fresh opportunities for political attacks. The GOP has been particularly focused on hammering Democrats over draft details of a broad “Green New Deal” proposal, even if most Democrats have not directly endorsed the fine print.

The party’s increasingly liberal bent is also creating dilemmas for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who is trying to manage a band of outspoken new liberal members while also staying attuned to the needs of moderates hailing from swing districts that could be key to Democrats retaining the House majority in 2020.

“We won the House through the middle,” said Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., who co-leads the Problem Solvers Caucus.

“Our party has to be open and recognize that.”

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said of his party’s shift to the left: “It makes it more difficult in morerural areas like mine. Absolutely makes it more difficult.”

But many lawmakers — including 2020 presidential candidates — argue that a general push leftward is long overdue and reflects the broad popularity of many of their positions, from universal health coverage to taxing

billionaires at higher rates.

Trump and the Republicans see the shift — and the Democratic division — as an opportunity to portray their opponents as “radical” and out of touch with mainstream America. The attacks have been fueled further by actions on the part of some Democrats, including remarks from Sen. Kamala Harris, DCalif., supporting the elimination of private insurance as part of a single-payer health care system and a document from the office of Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez, D-N.Y., outlining details of the Green New Deal that her office has since disavowed.

At a campaign rally last week in El Paso, Texas, Trump mocked the Green New Deal as a “high school term paper that got a low mark” and argued to his crowd of supporters that it would “shut down American energy” and “would shut down a little thing called air travel.”

Light on details The Green New Deal is just one of several issues where candidates are describing one thing while activists are demanding another, even when using the same language. Democratic pollster Celinda Lake said the Green New Deal and Medicare-for-all, which would create a national health plan with only limited roles for private insurers, are popular concepts among Democratic voters, but are not welldefined among the broader public.

“What Democrats should be doing is laying out some core principles about what should be in the bills,” Lake said. “People like them a lot but don’t know what’s in them.” (TWP)

Trump continued in that vein during a meeting with Cabinet officials. “There’s tremendous and quite unusual attitude on the other side. There’s a lot of anger. And they’re slipping extremely far left,” Trump said.

“We don’t want that to happen to our country.”

Some potential 2020 contenders, however, are treading carefully, particularly after aides to Ocasio-Cortez, the plan’s most prominent advocate, published and distributed a list of “frequently asked questions” that included details not included in the resolution itself, such as ensuring economic security for those “unwilling to work.” Her office later said it had inadvertently published an early version.

In the House, Pelosi and her lieutenants have tried to give a nod to progressives without letting them control the agenda.

“She lets enough air out of the balloon before it pops,” said one senior Democratic aide of Pelosi’s approach to progressives, throwing them something to keep them happy without allowing their proposals to take over the House agenda.

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. The Trump administration said Tuesday that it plans to cancel $929 million awarded to California’s high-speed rail project and wants the state to return an additional $2.5 billion that it has already spent.

The U.S. Department of Transportation announcement follows through on President Trump’s threats to claw back $3.5 billion that the federal government gave to California to build a bullet train between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed a fight to keep the money and said the move was in response to California again suing the administration, this time over Trump’s emergency declaration to pay for a wall along the U.S.Mexico border.

“This is clear political retribution by President Trump, and we won’t sit idly by,” Newsom said in a statement.

It’s the latest spat between the White House and California.

Trump earlier in the day linked the emergency declaration lawsuit to the train, noting that California filed the challenge on behalf of 16 states.

The train project has faced repeated cost overruns and delays since California voters approved it in 2008. The Trump administration argued Tuesday that the state hasn’t provided required matching dollars and can’t complete certain construction work by a 2022 deadline. KATHLEEN RONAYNE (AP)

Survivors: ‘Break the code of silence’ Victims of clergy abuse urge Vatican to be open and accountable VATICAN CITY Survivors of clergy sexual abuse met with organizers of a Vatican prevention summit Wednesday and demanded transparency, zero tolerance for abuse and for religious superiors to be held accountable when they protect priests who rape and molest children.

The survivors met for more than two hours with the Vatican’s lead sex abuse investigator and other members of the organizing committee for the four-day summit starting today. The event, which Pope Francis convened, is taking place amid intense scrutiny after new allegations of abuse and cover-up last year sparked a credibility crisis for the Catholic Church hierarchy.

Phil Saviano, an American who played a crucial role in exposing clergy abuse in the United States decades ago, said after the survivors’ meeting that he argued for the Vatican to release the names of abusive priests around the world along with their case files.

“Do it to launch a new era of transparency,” Saviano said he told the summit committee in a letter and in person. “Do it to break the code of silence. Do it

out of respect for the victims of these men, and do it to help prevent these creeps from abusing any more children.”

The Vatican had asked Chilean survivor Juan Carlos Cruz, who last year helped open Francis’ eyes to the seriousness of the abuse scandal, to arrange the meeting.

Cruz invited a dozen representatives of some of the more vocal advocacy groups that have long demanded accountability from the Vatican, including SNAP, Ending Clergy Abuse and French group La Parole Liberee.

“The culture of cover-up needs to end,” Cruz said after the meeting, which was held on the grounds of a gated Vatican residence with protesters waiting outside. NICOLE WINFIELD (AP)

A lofty goal for Turner Nats want shortstop to have 75 stolen base attempts — more than anyone last year NATIONALS If base stealing were a simple science, maybe Trea Turner would run every time he had the chance.

But it’s more complicated than that, even for Turner, one of the fastest players in baseball. First he has to get on base. Then he has to consider the situation, read the pitcher and, more often than not, get some help from the hitter at the plate. That is the formula for a successful steal, and it’s hard to skip any steps.

Still, the Nationals want Turner to attempt more steals in the coming season. A lot more. Manager Dave Martinez had a conversation with the 25-year-old shortstop Tuesday and, when speaking with reporters, threw out a number that was likely more conservative

than the one that made Turner say, “Wow, all right.”

“If he attempts 75 to 80, we’ll be in great shape,” Martinez said, and that would make Turner one of the more aggressive base runners in recent memory.

No player in 2018 came close to 75 attempts. Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield led the league with 55; Turner was second with 52. Since 2000, only 13 players have attempted 75 steals in a season. The highest was Jose Reyes’ 99 for the New York Mets in 2007. Martinez is asking Turner to attempt the most steals in his career, by a wide margin, believing that it will result in a career-high in stolen bases (again, by a wide margin).

That strategy seems to make

One of fastest in MLB MLB Statcast had the Nats’ Trea Turner in a three-way tie as the league’s fourth-fastest player in 2018 — using feet run per second as the metric — behind only center fielders Byron Buxton, Magneuris Sierra and Roman Quinn. But those players didn’t hit 19 homers, drive in 73 runs and play in all 162 of their team’s games. (TWP)

sense, but the execution could prove to be difficult.

“I think I always can,” Turner said when asked whether he thought he could have stolen more bases last season. “There’s plenty of opportunities where I just say no or not right now.

Not an excuse, but find a way to play a little smarter, play a little slower. So I think, no matter if I steal 30 or 100, I think there’s always room for more, but it’s whether or not it’s the right situation, right time.”

Turner was caught stealing nine times last year, and a few of those came when he overslid and was tagged out after successfully taking the base.

“Any time a coach pushes you to do something that you think is a little crazy, I think that’s them believing in you that you can do it,” Turner said. “It’s possible.

It’s still a lot, but it’s possible. I think I’m going to have to do a lot of things right, and hopefully get a shot at accomplishing it.”

Stephen Curry 28.6 ppg; 5.2 apg; 5.1 rpg

The Warriors’ two-time MVP is averaging a career-high in 3-point attempts per game (11.5) and is making 44.4 percent of those shots.

2 James Harden 36.6 ppg; 7.7 apg; 6.7 rpg

The Rockets’ star has had at least 30 points in 31 straight games. Harden’s scoring average would be seventh highest for a single season.

1 G. Antetokounmpo 27.2 ppg; 6.0 apg; 12.7 rpg

CAPITALS AT MAPLE LEAFS | 7 TONIGHT, NBCSWA

Caps waive Smith-Pelly, a key piece of Cup run

verbatim

CAPITALS When the Capitals’ practice in Toronto started at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, the plan was to waive forward Dmitrij Jaskin, clearing his $1.1 million cap hit as a potential precursor to another move with the trade deadline on Monday. Jaskin wasn’t on the ice as a result, but every other player, including winger Devante SmithPelly was. This being his hometown, Smith-Pelly’s father was even watching from the stands.

But after word got out of Washington’s plans to waive Jaskin at noon, the plan changed. Jaskin would have been available to every team with the waiver order going from the league’s worst record to its best. Halfway through practice, Smith-Pelly was standing by the bench speaking to a team athletic trainer. He then left the ice, and when noon came, it was his name on waivers, not Jaskin’s.

“Right now, there is a lot of movement going on, especially for teams that are salary-cap strapped like we are,” coach Todd Reirden said. “Earlier in the day, we had made the decision to put Jaskin on waivers and we changed our mind and were notified during practice. We made that adjustment and now Devante has been put on waivers.”

TONI L. SANDYS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

In last-minute change, Washington decides to cut winger over Jaskin

Winger Devante Smith-Pelly has just four goals in 54 games this season.

It’s possible that once word got out that Washington planned to waive Jaskin, general manager Brian MacLellan got a more enticing offer for him from another team, perhaps from a club low in the waiver order that may not have had an opportunity to claim him. By waiving Smith-Pelly, the Capitals still clear $1 million in salary-cap room, and the day’s events signal that a trade could be in the offing.

Teams will have until noon today to claim Smith-Pelly, and should he clear waivers, the Capitals can assign him to their minor-league affiliate, the Hershey Bears. His contract expires at the end of this season, and this

could mark the bizarre end to an otherwise memorable tenure in Washington. Most notably, he scored seven goals in the Capitals’ postseason run to the Stanley Cup last season, including the game-tying goal in the Stanley Cup-clinching Game 5 against the Vegas Golden Knights.

But Smith-Pelly has just four goals and four assists in 54 games this season, and the team held him out of the bulk of its exhibition games because he failed to meet certain conditioning standards. A season ago, Smith-Pelly produced 16 points, including seven goals, across 75 regularseason games. ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN

If I were more famous in this world, I would just have had a scientific study published. I recently analyzed a bunch of my jokes to see which ones are the most effective, so one of my goals is to make that into a more formalized study and publish it. So in my ideal world, I would be invited on “The Kojo Nnamdi Show” to get interviewed, and people would be calling in to ask me all of these questions that I would be able to answer and inspire people about science humor.

A science writer by day and stand-up comedian by night, Kasha Patel has pinpointed some shared constants in her seemingly disparate occupations. “In a way, they’re not that different,” says Patel, 27. “The premise of my joke is often like the lead or headline of my story — it has to be short, succinct and understandable.” As the founder and host of the live variety show “DC Science Comedy,” Patel has leaned on that approach over the past four years while building the intellectually stimulating series into a staple of the city’s stand-up scene.

Patel, who works as a digital storyteller at the NASA Earth Observatory, further combined her areas of expertise during a TEDx Talk in November, when she used metrics such as “premise time vs. laugh time” to break down the effectiveness of her jokes. Mapping out her ideal D.C. day, Patel stays on brand, working in a scientific study and a stand-up show.

Then I would visit my dog, since I didn’t take him out on the morning walk because I was sleeping. We would go out on a nice walk to Great Falls — because I do really like just being out in nature — and bring a picnic. What I want to say here is really dumb: When I was young, I used to really like Quiznos. I don’t even know if it exists anymore? But Quiznos would be open and I’d get the chicken mesquite sandwich.

Welcome to the island of Zilia Sanchez

Zilia Sanchez sketches in her studio in her adopted hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

a picture of what I want,” she says in a short film that accompanies the exhibit.

Following her father’s death, in 1955, Sanchez had a careerdefining insight.

“I remember I saw his bedsheet, the sheet that my mother washed because he was throwing up. The sheet was drying, and since it was windy, it was hitting against a wooden space divider, and this image of the blowing bedsheet against wood got stuck in my mind,” Sanchez says in an interview published in the show’s catalog.

As Fidel Castro came to power, Sanchez made the difficult decision to leave her homeland and her family in order to have more artistic freedom. In 1960, she moved to New York, where she developed her signature technique of warping canvases with wooden armatures and painting them to create works of art that straddle the line between sculpture and painting, pieces that use the regular geometry and muted palettes of minimalism to create surprisingly sensual landscapes.

A lesbian, Sanchez didn’t notice the feminine contours of her art until her friend, poet and fellow Cuban emigre Severo Sarduy, pointed them out to her, saying, “Those are tetas — you did breasts, Zilia!” “That’s why I started putting the word ‘Eros’ in my titles,” she says in the catalog.

Supporting herself with odd jobs, Sanchez found that she had little time for her art in New York — plus she hated the cold — so she moved to Puerto Rico in the early 1970s.

COLLECTION OF THE ARTIST/GALERIE LELONG & CO., NEW YORK

EXHIBITS Rarely does an octogenarian take the art world by storm, but that’s exactly what happened when Galerie Lelong & Co. in New York mounted an exhibit of the works of Cuban-born artist Zilia Sanchez in 2014.

Sanchez, 87 at the time, had been quietly perfecting her signature sculpture-paintings for decades in her adopted hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico, but it was at the Lelong show that Phillips Collection curator Vesela Sretenovic first encountered Sanchez’s work — and, like many curators and collectors, she was floored.

“The serenity, the colors, the scale — I hadn’t seen anything like it,” recalls Sretenovic, the Phillips’ senior curator of modern and contemporary art.

That experience convinced Sretenovic that a large-scale survey of the artist was long overdue, so she organized one.

“Zilia Sanchez: Soy Isla (I Am an Island)” opened this past weekend at the Phillips.

The show, which includes about 65 works, follows Sanchez from her idyllic childhood in Cuba to a brief sojourn in New York, and, finally, her establishment as an influential artist in Puerto Rico.

Sanchez, who was born in 1926, learned to paint beside her father, who painted as a hobby. She later attended Havana’s premier art school and got good marks, though she chafed under the rigid instruction typical of the time.

“If I go to class and see it’s about drawing an apple ... I go home and eat the apple and paint

RAQUEL PEREZ-PUIG

The artist’s life and creations are uniquely her own — and now we get a rare look

“Lunar con tatuaje (Moon With Tattoo)” is acrylic paint on stretched canvas.

“Going to the blue sky and the ocean of Puerto Rico was almost like going home. Besides, the language is the same, and the people are similar. We’re built from the same mold,” Sanchez

says in the catalog. “Cuba and Puerto Rico are two small islands that cannot fight big powers. I say this because I am not a rebel; I am a realist.”

Fiercely independent and

equally private, Sanchez stayed away from politics as she blazed a path for herself that didn’t hew to anyone’s expectations — which is perhaps why most people have never heard of her, Sretenovic says.

“She wasn’t going to settle for anything. If you make that choice, then you may pay a price that you don’t show everywhere,” Sretenovic says.

Despite her recent recognition, the now 92-year-old artist remains intentionally isolated from larger political and artistic currents, Sretenovic says. That’s why the show is called “I Am an Island,” a title taken from a 2000 piece of the same name, a work of performance art in which Sanchez videotaped herself launching one of her shaped canvases into the ocean.

“I wanted her to swim and to leave. I wanted to see her agony as if it were a person, and see how far she could go,” Sanchez says during the film. “It’s in the ocean, a little child that went away.”

More than movement DANCE How do you get people interested in climate change? Diana Movius figured ballet could do the trick.

The D.C. policy analyst has spoken about climate change at summits around the world. But with a background in dance that includes running 14th Street studio Dance Loft on 14 and helming her own local dance company, she realized she could address the topic through alternate avenues. So, in 2015, Movius recruited several dancers and debuted one of her most ambitious works to date, “Glacier,” at the Atlas Performing Arts Center.

The production returns to the H Street venue Thursday to kick off the 10th annual edition of the center’s Intersections Festival.

“The goal of [‘Glacier’] is to identify and communicate what climate change feels like,” Movius says. “Through dance, you

can really answer that question, because it elicits an emotional response to climate change.”

For 45 minutes, the Atlas stage will once again transform into chilling Arctic terrain for “Glacier.” As time passes, the pristine ice begins to crack and melt away, with its movements translated by dancers in Movius’ Moveius Contemporary Ballet company. Each section of the dance focuses on a different state of the ice — glaciers, floating sea ice, meltwater — as it all gets stripped away from its natural surroundings.

“The experience will be different for everyone, but my hope is that people come out of watching ‘Glacier’ with a sense of having witnessed something that is being lost, and a sense that [climate change] is something we should try to stop,” Movius says.

A pair of Diana Movius productions use ballet to explore hot-button topics

“Rite of Spring, Crash of Fall” examines the 2008 financial crisis.

for the politically charged projections he’s beamed onto the Trump International Hotel, provides a custom backdrop of polar regions and ice for “Glacier” that acts as a mini-film to complement the dance performance.

He also projects and manipulates images of the dancers on the backdrop.

Movius will present another original dance production, “Rite of Spring, Crash of Fall,” during her program Thursday at Atlas.

Here, Movius shifts her focus

from global warming to another hot-button topic — the financial crisis of 2008. The piece debuted in October at the Kennedy Center after receiving a grant from the venue, and uses the classic score from Igor Stravinsky’s ballet “The Rite of Spring” as a springboard to revisit the events surrounding the disaster.

“The idea is that there is always a sacrifice in ‘Rite of Spring,’ ” says Movius, referring to the original ballet’s storyline involving pagan sacrifice.

Sure, Movius’ show at the Atlas might seem like an intense evening of heavy subject matter, but she insists that her presentation will be as entertaining as it is informative.

“Both shows will be a lot of fun,” Movius says. “ ‘Glacier’ is quite poignant, but it’s enjoyable to watch, and ‘Rite of Spring’ does involve a lot of humor.”

‘Unveiling the Mystery of Musical Improvisation’ Musical improvisation can seem too daunting for non-musicians to fully understand. But Ney Mello and Elizabeth Louie want to demystify the art with their 75-minute guitar-and-piano performance (Fri., 8 p.m., $20). The audience will be just as integral to the show as the musicians, as Mello and Louie will improvise their performance with the crowd’s assistance.

‘Duke Ellington’s Neighborhood’ Legendary musician and local hero Duke Ellington inspired countless artists around the world. In “Duke Ellington’s Neighborhood” (March 2, 11:30 a.m., $15), a lively cast of singers and a jazz trio will trace Ellington’s storied career in a 60-minute performance. The production promises to be an interactive — and educational — show for kids, but enjoyable for adults too.

Griot Girls Ensemble Griot Girls began as a mentoring program for African-American girls in the area who are interested in musical theater.

Eventually, the group spawned a hip-hop ensemble that incorporates acting, rap, poetry and dance in its act while traveling to venues all around town. The group is coming to the festival to present an hourlong hip-hop theater piece (March 2, 4:30 p.m., $15).

Play time is over … really quickly Ready or not, at Play in a Day, the curtain comes up. The festival, produced by the Bethesda Urban Partnership and Bethesda Arts and Entertainment District and now in its 15th year, features six professional theater companies that have to do in 24 hours what might ordinarily take months. On Friday night, the playwrights representing all of the participating companies will receive a line of dialogue, a theme and a prop that they must use. Then it’s a sprint to write, rehearse and mount a 10-minute play — in front of a panel of judges and a paying audience, no less — at Imagination Stage just 24 hours later. The winners get cash, fame and hopefully a long nap. We talked to four participants from four theaters — past winners all — who are returning this year, ready to rumble. They’ve got strategies, they’ve got advice, and one can only assume they have a lot of caffeine at the ready.

Jason Schlafstein, the co-founder and producing artistic director for Flying V Theatre, says Play in a Day is just another opportunity for his company to do what it does best. “We do primarily offbeat and original work. [Play in a Day] is not different than

our mission,” says Schlafstein, who is returning to the festival for his 10th year as a director and his ninth with Flying V (he’s won the event’s award for best director five times). “This isn’t a side thing for us. This is an opportunity to showcase what Flying V is.”

Keep moving Playwright Patrick Flynn has a simple tip for Play in a Day success. “Set a schedule for yourself and stick to it,” says Flynn, who’s returning for his fourth year as the writer and director for Adventure Theatre MTC. “Also, a good idea now is better than a perfect idea later. If you say, ‘Oh, that’s a good idea, let’s build on that,’ not, ‘That’s a good idea, but I think there might be a better idea,’ and then sit around and talk about that for 45 minutes, you might discover no, there isn’t a better idea — and now we have 45 minutes less.”

Sometimes an ironing board is just an ironing board Last year, Imagination Stage’s team kept it simple, according to Joanne Lamparter, director of the theater’s education and community programs. “We were given an ironing board as a prop, and we thought we could turn it

into a rocket ship or whatever, and it turned out a lot of people [on the other teams] did that,” says Lamparter, who’s back competing for a fourth time as an actor and team captain this year. “[But] we thought, well, it could just be an ironing board, and that really worked. Sometimes the simplest idea is the best one.”

Forget it’s a competition “Beyond the competition, there’s camaraderie,” says Joe Baker, a company member at Keegan Theatre. “All the other people involved are going through the same stresses as you.” And keep in mind that, in the end, the play’s the thing. “[Play in a Day] is some of the most pure, creative entertainment that you can do,” says Baker, who is returning as Keegan’s team leader, writer and director for his eighth year. “I’d do it all the time if they’d let me.”

Metro Merfolk is a group of mermaiding enthusiasts who meet up regularly to swim and hang out in the District, Northern Virginia and Maryland.

RON TENCATI

ETC …

Like many millennials, Che Monique fell in love with Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” when the film came out in 1989. “I watched it again and again,” the 33-yearold says. “But by the time I was 9, I was a little disturbed that it’s a tale of giving up this really cool, magical thing you have for a man.”

As it turns out, lots of little girls were bothered by Ariel’s fate, and now that they are grown up, they are out to correct the record by donning mermaid tails for fun, profit and empowerment.

“You can have the prince and the tail. You can be a responsible adult and also playful like a child,” says Morgana Alba, owner of Circus Siren Pod, a professional mermaid troupe that performs at events and aquariums.

For some reason, the D.C. area is a hot spot for mermaiding, says Colleen McCartney, founder of Metro Merfolk, which organizes meetups and mermaid fitness classes in Northern Virginia, D.C. and Maryland. “So many people were coming out to our meetups, we decided to host a convention,” she says.

Thus was born MerMagic Con, a two-day festival that’s bringing more than 200 merfolk (the gender-inclusive term) to the Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center in Manassas, Va., this weekend. Professional mermaids are traveling from as far as Hawaii and Australia to attend the inaugural convention, but the merely mer-curious are also welcome. “You don’t even have to own your own tail,” says McCartney, who will be renting out swimmable mermaid tails at the convention for $20.

Most of the convention will take place in the Freedom Center’s Olympic-size pool. In the shallow lanes, kids can take part in activities including a mermaid meet-and-greet and a beginner mermaid swim class.

“A lot of people are concerned that mermaid tails are dangerous — and, of course, you should never let children swim unsupervised in a tail or without one,” McCartney says. “But we’ve found that swimming in a

monofin actually increases children’s competence in the water.

You should see them — they just start zooming across the pool.”

In the middle lanes, grownup merfolk can just hang out, perfect their underwater tricks or slalom though an underwater obstacle course of weighted hula hoops. The deep lanes will host open auditions for the Circus Siren Pod as well as the “Merlympics,” where merfolk will race to retrieve weighs from the bottom of the pool, among other events.

However, all these activities may come to a sudden halt when the poolside DJ spins “Baby Shark” or the “Little Mermaid” ballad “Part of Your World.”

“You can have the prince and the tail. You can be a responsible adult and also playful like a child.”

“I fully expect people to join in and sing and come up with choreography on the spot,” McCartney says.

will be filled with vendors of mermaid accessories, tails and other products — “mostly small, women-owned businesses,” says conference co-organizer Anni Mielke (also known as Mermaid Seanna). That includes Monique, who will be selling plus-size tights and T-shirts bearing the name of her newly minted business, Society of Fat Mermaids.

The center’s classrooms are the setting for workshops on topics including event production and silicone tail crafting, as well as appearances by mermaid celebrities such as Nerdmaid Faith, a bespectacled Canadian mermaid with more than 8,000 Instagram followers. There’s also

a gala Saturday night (additional $75 ticket required) at the Wyndham Garden Manassas, where “people are going all-out with their land-mermaid costumes,” Mielke says.

Whether you’re a serious siren or a naiad neophyte, you’re sure to have a “fluking good time,” Alba says.

“The ocean is big as hell — come jump in,” Monique says.

“There’s room for us all.”

A yoga instructor based in Montclair, Va., Crane, 53, bought a tail as a Christmas present for her daughter about two years ago. “But then she moved to Spain, so she never got to use it,” Crane says. Crane recently bought a tail for herself, and she and her daughter are going to break in their tails together at MerMagic Con. In addition to just swimming around and having fun, Crane is excited about meeting celebrity guest Philo Barnhart, one of the animators behind “The Little Mermaid.” “I’d go to the convention just for that,” she says. She’s also excited for the Saturday night gala. “There will be some pretty outlandish stuff out there, so I’m not sure if I want to stand out by being simple and elegant, or go bling it up.”

Che Monique, 33, has wanted to be a mermaid for “basically my entire life,” but until Fin Fun tails became widely available about two years ago, “the only tails you could get were thousand-dollar custom silicone tails,” says the Alexandria-based massage therapist. At the convention, she’ll be attending an underwater movement class led by Jayne Champagne, “The Burlesque Mermaid,” and attending workshops on social media and building a mermaid empire. “My current mermaid goals are to inspire people by going pretty places and posting videos of my fat, black self swimming all over the globe,” she says.

She’s looking forward to networking with fellow pros at MerMagic Con. “This is the first mermaid convention that’s really geared towards current and aspiring professionals,” she says. Though she’s already a certified lifeguard, she’s going to attend the mermaid water safety class, “to see how other people approach the topic, so I can design my own class,” she says.

A committed hobbyist since he attended a mermaid convention in North Carolina in 2015, Kirchem hasn’t always been the strongest swimmer.

“Swimming in a tail was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be,” he says. He’s gotten much better with practice, and has signed up for an underwater photo shoot at MerMagic Con. “I’ve been going to the gym five days a week,” he says. “I want to look good.”

The best t of the nex s y a d 7

Thu.

MUSIC

Lily & Madeleine When sisterly duo Lily and Madeleine Jurkiewicz sing, their voices meld as if they’re one person. The pair has mastered the familiar, comfortable moods of folk rock, but they’re also unafraid to add electronic textures or tap French DJ duo Ofenbach to craft an EDM remix of their ballad “Come to Me.” Songbyrd Music

MUSIC

James Blake Many of the biggest names in hiphop have something in common: a penchant for working with James Blake. After appearing on songs with Beyonce, Frank Ocean and Anderson .Paak, the British singer-songwriter recruited Travis Scott, Metro Boomin and Andre 3000 to help craft his chilled-out new album, “Assume Form.”

The collection shows off Blake’s velvety-smooth pop sound and his deftness with R&B, trip-hop and neo-soul. The Anthem,

House, 2477 18th St. NW; Sat., 8 p.m., $15-$17.

Sun. MUSIC

901 Wharf St. SW; Thu., 8 p.m., $48.50-$78.50.

MESS HALL

Butcher Brown

DANCE

Farruquito Flamenco dancer Farruquito was just 4 when he made his Broadway debut. By 15, he already had his own show in London. After those early successes, Farruquito continued to blossom in the world of dance. Now 36, he’s brought his arresting, highly expressive flamenco-style moves to stages all around globe — including Strathmore for a rare D.C.-area show on Thursday. Music Center at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda, Md.; Thu., 8 p.m., $38.

COMEDY

Ali Siddiq For any newbie comedian, performing for a crowd full of strangers can be nerve-wrecking.

Now, imagine performing for an audience of convicted felons.

While incarcerated in a Texas prison for six years for drug trafficking, Ali Siddiq practiced his routines in front of that crowd.

Once released, Siddiq turned his gift for joke-telling into a fruitful career. He’s appeared on Comedy Central, HBO, Showtime and BET, and this weekend he returns to the DC Improv for four nights of headlining sets. DC Improv, 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW; Thu.Sun., various times, $20-$22.

SUNDAY

Ramen World 5 Mess Hall, 703 Edgewood St. NE; Sun., noon & 3 p.m., $90.

You’ll get to eat as much ramen as your heart desires (or your stomach can take) on Sunday at the fifth annual Ramen World. Eleven food vendors — including local favorites Bad Saint, Daikaya and Himitsu — will serve up unlimited samples during the popular festival. While most of the participating restaurants will focus on ramen, some will also offer dumplings, Japanese desserts and more small bites to nosh on. As you snack, and slurp, your way through the afternoon, DJ Smudge will spin an eclectic mix of J-pop tunes.

Sat. MUSIC

Brothers Osborne Over two albums, the Deale, Md.-bred Brothers Osborne have put their stamp on country music, fusing Southern rock with outlaw country. It’s been a winning formula: Last year’s “Port Saint Joe” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard country albums chart, and the duo have racked up a number of CMA Awards. Brothers T.J. and John Osborne have also been outspoken about gun violence, proving that this band isn’t afraid to go against the Nashville grain. The Anthem, 901 Wharf St. SW; Sat., 8 p.m., $40-$75.

FRIDAY & SATURDAY

Vince Staples 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Fri., 6 p.m., Sat., 8 p.m., $35.

Panic ensued among Vince Staples fans last year when the rapper started a crowdfunding campaign seeking $2 million toward his retirement from music. It all ended up being a PR stunt tied to the release of his third album, “FM!,” in November. The record is the Compton, Calif.-born Staples’ most fully realized yet, with buoyant beats and deep lyrics that offer up his musings on the criminal justice system, poverty, gang life and more.

With its fusion of funk, jazz and soul, Richmond-based Butcher Brown has been making noise in that city’s music scene. The group, led by visionary keyboardist DJ Harrison, got the attention of jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington, who invited it to open for him on tour last fall. The group had just released “Camden Session,” a groove-based set of instrumentals that shows off the quintet’s impressive chops. Gypsy Sally’s, 3401 K St. NW; Sun., 8 p.m., $15.

Tue. STAGE

‘Finding Neverland’ “Finding Neverland” adapts the 2004 film of the same name into an imaginative Broadway stage show directed by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus. The plot centers on Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie, who befriends a widowed mother and her four young sons. The brothers inspire what would become Barrie’s breakthrough production: “Peter Pan.” National Theatre, 1321 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; Tue. through March 3, $54-$114.

Oscars finally take a look in his direction

‘The Huntress’ hits the mark for WWII fiction

FILM When people say, “Let me show you what I posted today on my Instagram,” the answer is usually easy: Um, no thanks. But when Spike Lee says it, and right after another — yes, another — Virginia elected official admits to wearing blackface, you pay attention.

The director peers through his thick black frames and searches his phone. “Right … here,” he says. It’s Tommy Davidson and Savion Glover wearing blackface in 2000’s “Bamboozled,” Lee’s satire about pop culture and racism.

The caption reads: “What’s Up Wit Deez Politicians In Ole Virginny Wit Da Minstrel Shows? Did Dey Just Peep BAMBOOZLED? Dey Mad, Hella LATE.” “Woooo!” Lee exclaims. He starts a knowing chuckle, like, I have been telling you to wake up for decades, America, so where have you been? You’re mad late.

“People slept on that film,” Lee says. “They slept on a bunch of them.” The success of his latest, “BlacKkKlansman,” has caused a “reassessment of my body of work,” he says.

Many Lee films still feel

urgent; the director has seldom struggled for relevance with his chosen subject matter. “BlacKkKlansman” follows a black cop in the 1970s who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan — based on the true story of Ron Stallworth — and feels as vital as ever. Yet as one of the most influential filmmakers in modern cinema, Lee has only this year received his first best director and best picture Oscar nominations. “BlacKkKlansman” netted six altogether, nearly 30 years after his seminal “Do the Right Thing” was snubbed for a best picture nod.

“There’s no way in the world I’m saying, ‘Now I’ve arrived,’ ” Lee says. “This is not in any way disrespectful to the Academy, but after ‘Do the Right Thing,’ I just said, you know, whatever award it is, I’m not going to let myself be in a position where I feel I have to have my work validated.”

For three decades, Lee has steadily churned out projects.

“BlacKkKlansman” could be considered one of Lee’s most successful films to date. But to him, it’s just the latest Spike Lee Joint.

“Timing is everything, and

ANDRE CHUNG (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

With ‘BlacKkKlansman,’ Spike Lee has received overdue awards recognition

Spike Lee earned his first Oscar nods for best director and best picture for “BlacKkKlansman.”

on this film, the stars were in alignment,” Lee says. “I don’t think I tried any harder on this film than others, but there are certain things when you put a film out, when you put a piece of art out in the universe, you have no control after that.”

Just three years ago, Lee joined an Oscars boycott because of the #OscarsSoWhite campaign started by April Reign. That year, then-Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs announced changes to diversify its voting ranks. Until then, only three black directors had ever been nominated for an Oscar. That

number has since doubled.

Now Lee is looking ahead. And he’s not just thinking about the awards, as nice as they are.

“The long game is the gatekeepers. These are individuals, a select few, who have quarterly meetings and decide what we’re making and we’re not making.”

He cites the “Hamilton” song “The Room Where It Happens” to explain that if people of color and women aren’t in the room, “then you don’t really have a say, because you’re not in the room to put your hand up, throw a chair or say, ‘What are we doing?’ ” ELAHE IZADI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THR: Chris Hemsworth to star in Todd Phillips’ Hulk Hogan biopic

BOOK REVIEW Kate Quinn follows her wordof-mouth best-seller, “The Alice Network,” with another compulsively readable historical novel about courageous women who dare to break the mold of what’s expected of them. At the heart of “The Huntress,” which hit shelves Tuesday, is a woman accused of committing unspeakable crimes against children in Poland during World War II. The novel begins with this unnamed woman on the run, afraid that her past has finally caught up with her.

From there, the novel breaks into three storylines, told by three narrators: Nina, a Russian bomber pilot before the war; Jordan, an aspiring photographer in 1950s Boston; and Ian, an England-based former war correspondent obsessed with bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. Quinn effectively uses this structure to deliberately reveal the past in an increasingly suspenseful story about characters who will risk their lives to track down the Huntress.

With these storylines braided together in a seamless narrative that builds toward a dramatic showdown, “The Huntress” is sure to be a hit with fans of commercial World War II fiction.

Nina’s and Jordan’s narratives truly sing in this powerful novel about unusual women facing sometimes insurmountable odds with grace, grit, love and tenacity. KRISTIN HANNAH (TWP)

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR STUDY ON OPIATE USE Doctors at the National Institutes of Health are looking for people who use opiates regularly or are receiving treatment for opiate use to participate in a study looking at how opiates affect brain function. Compensation will be provided.

trending “Conversations face-to-face sure are more gentle, ’cause most people don’t have the balls to say some things [to] your face.” @REMDROPS, tweeting about Ariana Grande and British TV host Piers Morgan allegedly making up after a Twitter argument in November. Their beef began after Morgan said that female artists shouldn’t flaunt their sexuality. Morgan on Tuesday tweeted a selfie of the two, and Grande explained on Twitter that after the two ran into each other at an L.A. restaurant, she decided to sit with Morgan and discuss their disagreement in person. She called the talk “productive,” and many fans praised her maturity.

@MMEANS68, reacting after DC Comics pulled the plug on “Second Coming,” a new comic series that featured Jesus Christ as the sidekick to a superhero named Sun-Man. “Second Coming,” which was slated to come out March 6, was pulled by DC and its subsidiary Vertigo after criticism from Christian outlets, which called it blasphemous.

British fashion label for a hoodie shown during London Fashion Week that featured a noose instead of drawstrings. The brand was blasted for evoking lynchings and suicide.

Burberry apologized, saying it was “inspired by a nautical theme.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) What you’re trying to do rubs some the wrong way, but not everyone. You can keep it up at least for the time being.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re eager to make changes that will lighten your load and allow you to be more nimble in almost all things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The demands you’ve been making are not, in the main, realistic, and you know it. Perhaps you’re trying to test someone?

TODAY: Overall, it’s not bad for the day after a winter storm. After a cloudy start and maybe a lingering early-morning shower, skies turn partly sunny by afternoon as highs reach the upper 40s to mid-50s.

Just a bit of a breeze from the west-northwest. High pressure builds tonight, although a passing shower is possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You can stay on course throughout this rather difficult day. Others may look to you to lead them, and you can do so quite successfully.

Paltrow alleged in a counter claim that the man actually plowed into her from behind.

The actress said her injuries were minor and that she is seeking “symbolic damages” of $1, plus costs for her lawyer’s fees. (AP)

Woods is a close friend of Kardashian’s half sister Kylie Jenner. A source told People that the Kardashian family had trouble believing the news at first because “everyone considered Jordyn family.”
