Iraq Troop Decision Up in the Air Officials say Obama favors keeping 3K in country after Dec. 31

U.S. officials in Iraq and in Washington said the matter is still under discussion and no decisions have been made.

for training Iraqi units. Iraq has not formally asked for any change to the current agreement under which all U.S. forces would leave at the end of this year, and frustrated U.S. officials say time is growing short to decide.

There are currently about 45,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. A 2008 security agreement between Washington and Baghdad requires all of them to leave Iraq by the end of 2011.

Many Iraqi of f icials were alarmed by the 3,000 figure, which they privately consider not nearly enough troops.

East Coast residents recovering from Hurricane Irene were stuck under the chugging remnants of Tropical Storm Lee Wednesday, some of them grudgingly preparing to move to higher ground yet again as rivers rose. From Maryland to New England, heavy rains swelled waterways, flooded highways and stretched emergency responders already dealing with cleanup from last week’s punishing blow from Irene. “Now it’s getting on my last nerves,” said Carol Slater, 53, of Huntersfield, N.Y., on the northern edge of New York’s Catskill Mountains. The National Weather Service predicted heavy rain would continue across the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states through Thursday with anywhere from 4 to 7 more inches falling and up to 10 in isolated pockets.

9Wf[ 9WdWl[hWb" <bW$ NASA needs to keep more astronauts on staff than planned even though no one is being launched from the home turf, a new report by the National Research Council urged Wednesday. Many astronauts have retired or quit with this year’s end of the space shuttle program. But a robust corps still is needed, the report noted, to fill crew slots aboard the International Space Station and help forge the way for exploration in the decades ahead. Last year, NASA asked the council to look at the role and size of the astronaut corps during this transition time. A committee of 13 experts — five of them former astronauts

— conducted the study. The 102-page report noted that because there are different medical requirements for spending six months on a space station, versus a week or two on a space shuttle, NASA needs extra astronauts on hand in case crew replacements are needed because of illness or disability. Astronauts will also be needed in Houston to help keep the space station running. (AP)

Reports Conflict in the Hunt for Gadhafi Libya’s new leaders differ on location of ousted strongman Jh_feb_" B_XoW A Tripoli military official said Wednesday that Moammar Gadhafi is cornered and the days before he is captured or killed are numbered, but another senior defense official contended that Libya’s new rulers have no idea where the fugitive former leader is. The comments are the latest in a series of conflicting statements on the most pressing question still haunting the North African nation: Where is Gadhafi?

Blasts Kill At Least 23 In Pakistan

Gadhafi, who ruled Libya for nearly 42 years, hasn’t been seen in public for months and has released only audio messages trying to rally his supporters. He went underground after opposition fighters swept into Tripoli on Aug. 21. Hunting down Gadhafi would help seal the new rulers’ hold on the country, and likely trigger the collapse of the remaining regime loyalists still fighting. Anis Sharif, a spokesman for Tripoli’s military council, said that Gadhafi was still in Libya and had been tracked using technology and human intelligence. Rebel forces have taken up positions on all sides of Gadhafi’s presumed location, he said.

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ Libya’s remaining chemical weapon stockpiles are believed to be secure, the chief of a U.N. watchdog said Wednesday. Ahmet Uzumcu of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said his inspectors are ready to return to Libya to oversee the destruction of Moammar Gadhafi’s poison gas supplies “when the conditions will allow us.” In 2004, Gadhafi agreed to dismantle his weapons of mass destruction. Twice-yearly inspections have found no evidence of Libya’s reviving its chemical weapons program. (AP)

Two fighters close to Libya’s new leaders said they believe Gadhafi is inside Bani Walid. However, Deputy Defense Minister Mohammad Taynaz said that the former rebels don’t know where Gadhafi is. “Our priority is to liberate all of Libya,” he said. “Once the country is free, there will be nowhere for

A pair of suicide bombers killed at least 23 people and wounded more than 80 while targeting a top army officer in Pakistan on Wednesday, missing him but killing his wife, officials said. Police said they were investigating whether the strike in Quetta was revenge for the recent arrests there of three top al-Qaeda suspects, an operation assisted by the CIA. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, but a spokesman did not mention the arrests. He said Brig. Khurram Shahzad, the deputy head of the region’s Frontier Corps, was targeted due to an incident several months ago that left five people dead. The first attacker detonated his vehicle Wednesday near Shahzad’s house. The second attacker stormed the house and blew himself up inside, police said. (AP)

NATO Secret a r y- G enera l Anders Fogh Rasmussen echoed that statement, telling reporters in Prague that the alliance’s sole aim in Libya is to guarantee the safety of the country’s civilians. The anti-Gadhafi fighters who swept into Tripoli last month have been struggling to uproot the handful of regime holdouts, particularly in Bani Walid, Sirte and Sabha. Meanwhile, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the head of the Transitional Council, Libya’s closest thing to a government now, warned that Bani Walid had until Friday to surrender or forces would move in. (AP)

Hockey Stunned By Plane Crash Officials: 27 players are among 43 killed post-takeoff in Russia Jkdei^dW" Hkii_W A private Russian jet carrying a top ice hockey team slammed into the shores of the Volga River after takeoff Wednesday, killing at least 43 people in one of the worst plane crashes involving a sports team. Russia and the world of hockey were stunned by the deaths of so many stars at once. The International Ice Hockey Federation said 27 players on the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team died, along with two coaches and seven club officials. Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin, a Russian hockey icon, tweeted: “I’m in shock!!!!!R.I.P ...” The cause of Wednesday’s crash was unclear. The Yak-42 plane was carrying 45 people from Yaroslavl, 150 miles northeast of Moscow, to Minsk, the capital of Belarus. The team was to play Thursday against Dinamo Minsk in the season opener for the Kontinental Hockey League. Officials said Russian player Alexander Galimov survived the crash, as did a crew member.

most important part of the jobs plan Obama will unveil Thursday night is the renewal of two measures already in place â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a cut in Social Security taxes and emergency aid for the unemployed. His new proposals probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add many jobs, they say. Not soon, anyway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;T hese a re not bold, new, big programs,â&#x20AC;? says Narima n Beh rave sh, chief economist with IHS Global Insight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You put everything together, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be pretty small.â&#x20AC;? The job market needs big help. In August, the economy generated zero job growth. And the unemployment rate is 9.1 percent, a level more typical for a recession than for a recovery in its third year. For Obama, who also faces sinking approval ratings, the options are limited. Congress must approve new measures, and congressional Republicans oppose new spending. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde and other economists have urged Congress to do more to help job growth and the economy over the next year or two â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and worry about cutting spending later.

F_jY^ Fh[l_[m President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan was being shaped Wednesday, but here are some ideas likely on tap:

Keeping emergency unemployment benefits for another year. Unemployment checks put money in the hands of people who are likely to spend it immediately, helping businesses and making them more likely to hire. Macroeconomic Advisers estimates that another year of emergency unemployment benefits would support 200,000 jobs in 2012. Critics say unemployment benefits discourage

some people from aggressively seeking work. Offering tax incentives to businesses to hire the unemployed. Under consideration is an expanded version of a law passed last year that encouraged companies to hire the unemployed. The law exempted employers from paying their share of the Social Security tax when they created jobs for those unemployed for at least two months. But economists say the law didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t boost hiring much. Spending more on public works. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan will probably include spending on infrastructure programs and add to the deficit. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to call for as much as $50 billion for school construction and renovation. But public works programs can take years to get started and create jobs. (AP)

(THE WASHINGTON POST/ AP) GETTY IAMGES

Extending a cut in the payroll tax that supports Social Security for one year. The cut, part of a deal struck in December by Obama and the GOP, reduces the tax to 4.2 percent from 6.2 percent on the first $106,800 a person makes. That amounts to $1,000 a year for someone earning $50,000. Keeping the tax cut would cost the government $110 billion to $115 billion. The research firm Macroeconomic Advisers estimates it would support 400,000 jobs in 2012. The theory: More money in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pockets increases demand for goods and services. The problem is that keeping the tax cut doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create jobs where they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist before.

C[jhe je <Whc Ekj ;iYWbWjeh Meha System needs more workers to complete repairs, maintenance MWi^_d]jed With one in six escalators now under repair, the Metro system plans to augment its own workforce with an outside contractor to speed up work on 74 Orange Line escalators and elevators, General Manager Richard Sarles said Tuesday. Officials at the transit agency are expected to make a presentation on Thursday to Metro’s board of directors on their plan to hire an

outside contractor to do preventive maintenance on 54 escalators and 20 elevators on the Orange Line from Rosslyn to Vienna. Altogether, the system has 588 escalators, more than any other transit agency in the country. Sarles said the additional manpower will “supplement the existing staff” of roughly 200 in-house employees who now work in the escalator and elevator division. “We need more people,” Sarles said. “Rather than attempting to hire more people who then have to go through a multi-year training effort to be brought up to full speed on doing repair and maintenance, we can go out to seek qualified con-

:h_l[h 9ed\hedjWj_ed L_Z[e Ikh\WY[i A video that apparently shows a Metrobus driver shoving a passenger out of a bus and onto the ground has been making the rounds on the Internet since the holiday weekend, prompting an investigation by Metro officials, reports NBC 4. In the video, it appears that the passenger tries to board the bus and asks for a ride to the next stop; it is unclear whether he is prepared to pay. The driver then asks the man to get off the bus. When the man doesn’t exit, the driver pushes the man out. Certain key facts are missing from the video, making it difficult to identify the driver. (T WP)

tractors to do the work.” Over the years, Metro has alternated between staff and contractors to perform escalator maintenance and repairs. Along the way, it has dumped tens of millions of dollars into its equipment and hired consultants to do studies of whether

using in-house workers or contracting out work is better, all without finding a lasting solution. Metro’s escalator and elevator division has 147 mechanics; 49 people who work in management, inspections and support; and 12 maintenance supervisors.

It also has an in-house apprenticeship program that trains escalator and elevator mechanics in doing daily repairs and maintenance. Major overhaul and replacement work on escalators is now mostly done by contractors as part of Metro’s capital improvement budget, officials said. Sarles said he hopes to have the new contractor in place by the beginning of next year. Metro officials would not reveal the expected ceiling price of the contract because they said it is a competitive process. With additional workers, Sarles said, Metro’s employees who work in its escalator and elevator division can concentrate on doing repair and maintenance work on other lines in the rail system.

Slasher Suspect Sought <W_h\Wn Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man who they said is a suspect in a bizarre series of attacks in which young women were slashed in the buttocks at busy Fairfax County shopping malls. Fairfax police are looking for 40-year-old Johnny D. Guillen Pimentel, who they believe may have left the area. Police said he might be driving a blue 2003 Honda Civic with the Virginia tag KLX2689.

Pimentel so far is being sought in one of the attacks, but police previously have said they think the same man has cut nine women in their teens and early 20s since February. The man generally distracte d t he v ic t i m , slashed her with Pimentel either a boxc utter or razor, and then darted away, police said. None of the women was seriously injured, but the seemingly random nature of the slashings unnerved shoppers and authorities alike.

+&&#<eej 9hWd[ 9ebbWfi[i Wj 9Wj^[ZhWb

Police said the motive for the attacks remains a mystery. T he most recent slashing occurred on July 25 at the Fair Oaks Mall. An 18-year-old woman who was shopping at Forever 21 around 5:30 p.m. noticed a man bending over to pick up some clothes that had fallen off a rack, police said. Four other victims were also cut at the Fair Oaks Mall, where the first known attack happened on Valentine’s Day, police said. Two other incidents occurred at the H&M at Tysons Corner, one was reported at Marshalls at the Greenbriar Shopping Center, and another was at the T.J. Maxx at Fairfax Towne Center.

Andi Pringle, the new deputy chief of staff to Mayor Vincent C. Gray, is resigning, according to a source close to the administration. Pringle has come under fire for voting in the District primary last year even though she lives in Maryland. The source, who was not authorized to speak about the matter, said Pringle was giving Gray her resignation letter Wednesday because she believes she has become a “distraction” in the mayor’s office. On Wednesday, Gray, a Democrat, said that he was unaware Pringle had voted in the District last year. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Long-Term Thinking Shanahan remakes the Redskins roster for the long haul J^[ H[Zia_di Command central for the Redskins is the swiveling, burgundy chair in the center of Mike Shanahan’s office. Over Shanahan’s right shoulder sits one flat screen, on which he can flip from one meeting to another, from offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan teaching a pass protection philosophy to defensive backs coach Bob Slowik reviewing a coverage, power points aplenty. Over his left shoulder sits another flat screen, on which he can watch each play from each practice session he oversaw this preseason. The images flickering on those two screens represent the Redskins’ present and future, the players and coaches who will make up Shanahan’s second team here, with realtime evaluations of how they’re performing. But across Shanahan’s desk, on an opposite wall, hangs the Redskins’ immediate past, and in some ways it is just as instructive about the state of the franchise Shanahan inherited and the direction he intends to take it. Affixed to the wall is a board with the names of players who are no longer here. Some — center Casey Rabach and running back Clinton Portis among them — were mainstays from administrations past. Others — say, wide receiver Roydell Williams or nose tackle Ma’ake Kemoeatu — were signed by Shanahan as stopgaps in 2010, but have since been cast aside. What remains is a roster most people outside the team’s Ashburn training facility figure will nestle

into the bottom spot in the NFC East for the fourth year in a row. Yet what Shanahan sees on those two flat screens and that board across the room has him smiling, at ease. “People say I look more relaxed,” Shanahan said. “Well, yeah.” At this point last year, the foundation of the franchise Shanahan took over was in disarray, old and on the decline. Gone, now, are 26 players who, collectively, started 280 games in 2009 and 2010. Of those released before Saturday’s final cuts, 10 were so close to the ends of their careers that they are not currently on NFL rosters. Shanahan has heard all the doubts about the roster he has assembled, and doesn’t much care. The difference between 2010, which yielded a 6-10 record that matched the worst of Shanahan’s 15 full seasons as a head coach,

and now is simple: These Redskins are Shanahan’s. “When you go into that second year, and if for whatever reason these aren’t the players that you like or you want, it’s your fault,” Shanahan said last week. “The majority of your football team better be based on the guys that you feel fit in your style — and they have what it takes to get to the next level.” The stats about the Redskins’ level over the last dozen years are, by now, familiar: two winning seasons and two playoff appearances — and no division titles — since 1999. Only five other teams — Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Jacksonville and expansion Houston (which started play in 2002), the dregs of the league — have failed to win a division championship in that time. So Shanahan’s task was and is complex — change a culture of losing, rein in a reputation for disarray, and alter the fortunes of a franchise that was once a model in the NFL but hasn’t been a consistent force in two decades. “It takes a while to get everything the way you want it,” said Tony Dungy, the former coach in Tampa Bay and Indianapolis who now works as an analyst for NBC’s Sunday Night Football. “It’s probably going to be three or four years before everybody understands exactly what you want to do.”

7 J>H;;#O;7H FB7D Since Daniel Snyder, right, bought the Redskins in 1999, only one coach — Joe Gibbs— has lasted more than two seasons. When Shanahan, who won two Super Bowls and made seven playoff appearances in 14 years coaching the Denver Broncos, considered becoming Snyder’s seventh coach, he said he had to be concerned about that record of turnover, a major factor in the franchise’s instability. “That’s why I asked Dan: ‘Hey, if you want me, this is what I believe in, and if you don’t, then you probably shouldn’t hire me.’” Shanahan’s plan: have the franchise ready to win consistently by the third season.

9Wd j^[ FWYa[hi h[f[Wj5 Winning consecutive Super Bowls is incredibly tough, so much so that the last team to do it was the Patriots in 2004 and 2005. But if any team has a chance in this era of parity, it’s these Packers. The lockout gave teams only a short time to adjust to any roster changes, but Green Bay, with all its youth, had to make only a few changes. Plus, Aaron Rodgers is as good as any quarterback in the NFL, and the team’s decision to cast Brett Favre aside three years ago means the Packers’ system is old hat to the Super Bowl MVP by now.

EKH Ê''

F[ojedÊi fW_d _d j^[ d[Ya The last quarterback to start a game for Indianapolis other than Peyton Manning was Jim Harbaugh, who is now coaching the San Francisco 49ers. On Wednesday, it was made official that Manning’s iron man streak of 227 consecutive starts will end on Sunday due to neck and back injuries. The story won’t end on Sunday, though. You can’t help but wonder if Manning will be the same player as his body appears to be breaking down. And you have to wonder whether the Colts can win without Manning — who’s not just their QB, but acts as an on-field coach as well. Indy’s long run of consistency may be over.

Not content to let Rex Ryan and the Jets talk to their way to a third AFC title game, New England made some bold — and eyebrow-raising moves — in this truncated off-season. Namely, the Patriots added aging malcontents Albert Haynesworth, left, and Chad Ochocinco to their mix. Coach Bill Belichick has tried this before and won big with the likes of Corey Dillon and Randy Moss, so perhaps New England is really the home of the fountain of youth. Haynesworth barely practiced in August, and Ochocinco dropped more balls than he caught in the preseason, so the jury is still out on these moves. But if both stars live up to their potential, the Patriots may very well return to the Super Bowl.

7h[ j^[ ;W]b[i W Zh[Wc j[Wc5 While the Redskins decided to take an uncharacteristic low-key approach to free-agent acquisitions, the Eagles assumed the mantle of off-season champion. Even before signing Michael Vick, right, to a $100 million deal, Philadelphia signed cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, and defensive linemen Jason Babin and Cullen Jenkins, plus brought in quarterback Vince Young and running back Ronnie Brown as backups. On paper, the Eagles may be the best team in the league now. But Redskins fans know that fantasy football doesn’t always translate on the field.

It was very exciting. I was always in the center of that swirling ’60s experience, both singing other people’s songs or sometimes writing my own.

I was inspired when I read Steve Martin’s book “Born Standing Up.” I realized the foundation of my career, after studying the piano and playing with orchestras, was working the clubs all over the country.

“I don’t think of this as adapting or translating but as creating a play out of this material which was given to me,” says Ives. “I love being handed a good story because story is the hardest part of any play.

:hWm_d] Fem[h The world of comics has matured a lot in the last hundred years. Today, graphic novels enjoy a cred that Archie never did. This weekend, Bethesda’s annual Small Press Expo gathers the best illustrators and comic artists working today. Here’s our guide for whose table to storm, full geek ahead. TE X T BY FIONA ZUBLIN (E XPRESS); DR AWINGS COURTESY THEIR ARTISTS

IWhW^ =b_ZZ[d J^[ F_ppW ?ibWdZ 9ec_Yi 9ebb[Yj_l[ Being an artist is tough: low pay, long hours, lots of existential u nc e r t a i nt y. Pe r h a p s m o s t unrelenting is the solitude. For six illustrators in Brooklyn, N.Y., the solution was Pizza Island. “There were days that I never even went outside,” says Sarah Glidden, whose graphic novel “How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less” is more hard-nosed journalism than goofy cartoon, of her working life before joining the Pizza Island collective — the members of which will be at SPX. “It can be so isolating working on something all day and not having anyone to talk to.” Glidden and Julia Wertz (of cult comic “Fart Party”) and French cartoonist Domitille Collardey set out to find a shared working space, rounding up Lisa Hanawalt (who draws for the Believer and the Hairpin), Kate Beaton (more on her at right) and “Octopus Pie” creator Meredith Gran. It’s a motley and hardworking crew. “No duds in this studio,” says Glidden. No dudes, either — though that’s not by design, and the collective has included a male artist. “We get frustrated sometimes that people pay attention to us because, ‘Six girls all makin’ comics! Wow!’” Glidden quips. Yep. Making comics, making book deals, signing illustrator contracts with magazines such as Vice, Harper’s and McSweeney’s. “We’re all doing pretty well in our own ways.”

:edÊj C_ii Chester Brown: No American cartoonist would run for public office after publishing a controversial series of comics about the Christian gospels. But Brown has a boldness that comes with being both Canadian and libertarian, and so he did. We’re glad he didn’t win, because that gives him more time to draw. SAT., 6 P.M. Anders Nilsen: Nilsen’s comic “Big Questions” combines the philosophical bent of “Peanuts” and “Calvin and Hobbes” with an epic grandeur that’s uncommon in simple penand-ink doodles. A compendium of his work has just been published by Drawn & Quarterly. SAT., 2 P.M.

Craig Thompson: Thompson broke out in 2003 with the graphic novel “Blankets,” a look at growing up in an evangelical Christian family. His newest, “Habibi,” examines Islamic culture from the point of view of a prostitute and a eunuch who embark on a romance. SAT., 3 P.M.

AWj[ 8[Wjed Ç>Wha 7 LW]hWdjÈ Kate Beaton does not mean to educate you. Anything you may learn from perusing “Hark! A Vagrant” — her webcomic devoted to art, literature and making fun of Canada — is just a side effect of mixing profanity, “The Great Gatsby” and jokes about Charles Dickens. Beaton lampoons the stiffest of history’s heroes, but she clearly likes them. Take her Napoleon Bonaparte, a chubby little fellow who drowns his sorrows over a roving Josephine by eating too many cookies. Beaton is a bit of a reluctant cartoonist. She nixed studying animation after high school. Instead, she studied history. But after college, she kept drawing. “Hark!” caught on with the Internet intelligentsia, and she self-published a collection of her work, “Never Learn Anything From History,” in 2009. She had cartoons published in the New Yorker and Wired, and won a 2011 Harvey Award for Best Online Comics Work. Her newest collection, named for the series, is being released this month by Canadian publisher Drawn & Quarterly. Beaton’s branched out of historical comics, too — one recent story line looked at the unexplored personal life of Lois Lane. “Mary Jane, Spider-Man’s girlfriend, she’s a model. Who cares?” Beaton says. “Lois is, like, ‘I’m gonna get this story!’ and is busting in through locked doors. It’s kind of sad that Superman’s always there meddling.”

that this means high fidelity to Metallica’s first four records: “Kill ’Em All,” “Ride the Lightning,” “Master of Puppets” and “…And Justice For All.” The group plays nothing produced later than 1988. “We love all Metallica, of course,” Gleason says. “But a lot of people are not too fond of that later stuff.” So, no lighters hoisted for the 1991

ballad “The Unforgiven”? “No. We would not play that,” she deadpans. “We would also not play ‘Enter Sandman.’” This purist approach has been winning the group loyal fans since it formed three years ago at Philly’s School of Rock, a music program for kids ages 7 to 18 in which bassist Teddi Tarnoff was an instructor and

the rest of the band were students. Since then, the group has toured the East Coast and made its way across the U.K. twice. Misstallica will hit the West Coast later this year, potentially doing some dates with the L.A.based Iron Maidens — an all-female tribute to Iron Maiden. Opening Friday’s show at Sonar in Baltimore will be Queen Diamond, a band featuring three members of Misstallica that channels the ’80s shock-rock stylings of King Diamond. That means that most of the bands’ members play two full sets, one after the other, “which makes for an interesting night.” “We have sor t of a r iva lry,” Gleason says. “Queen Diamond will come on and trashtalk Misstallica: ‘They suck!’” SHAUNA MILLER (E XPRESS)

9h[Wjkh[ :_iYec\ehj Artist Jim Woodring takes his characters to unexpected places in a new graphic novel 8eeai Jim Woodring tells an old story in his new graphic novel, “Congress of the Animals”: boy anthropomorphic cat thing meets girl anthropomorphic cat thing. Along the way, the main character, named Frank, encounters all manner of oddities and grotesqueries, including a race of men without faces and other strange creatures. Rendered in a dense visual style that uses no dialogue, narration or any words at all, “Congress” is certainly an odd read. But there is deep meaning behind every squiggly line and misshapen body. “The things in the story are not just arbitrary

weirdness,” Woodring stresses. “They convey something that I’ve thought out and want to say.” “Congress” is, in fact, a surprisingly moving tale, with a poignant finale that may be one of the finest and most eloquently understated moments the Seattle-based animator has ever Woodring inked. It also deals with an uncommon theme in nearly three decades of Woodring’s work: change. “Frank is ineducable and naïve, so he’s been a good entrée into interesting situations,” says Woodring. “I’ve been drawing him for 20 years now, and I made a point of introducing a new situation in this book that would take him out of the world into which he was born.” For readers who’ve been follow-

ing Frank’s travails since his introduction in the 1980s, that development may be startling. “I’m afraid it might be a little like when Al Capp finally decided to let Li’l Abner get married,” Woodring says with a laugh. “It ruined the franchise.” If “Congress” is any indication, this enormous change may open up a world of narrative possibilities. “I’m not sure how many of these stories I want to tell, and I don’t want them to end without evolving,” Woodring explains. “I feel like I owe these characters their freedom at some point, so I’m trying to figure out how to liberate them all.” STEPHEN DEUSNER Politics & Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW; Fri., 7 p.m., free; 202-3641919, Politics-prose.com.

Anarchic ‘Bellflower’ punches the gut while addressing the heart IYh[[d It’s tough to like “Bellflower,” which opens Friday. This ultra-indie (as in, shot by a guy and his friends for essentially no money) is visceral, violent and more than a little trippy. The pounding, intense film is the story of Woodrow (played by writer-director-producer-editor Evan Glodell), a mild-mannered Midwesterner living in L.A. with his friend Aiden (Tyler Dawson). Woodrow meets Milly (Jessie Wiseman) at a bar’s bug-eating competition, and what starts out as a

meet-cute romantic comedy ends up being a chaotic ride that touches on friendship, betrayal and the nature of masculinity. And the ride takes place in a “Mad Max”inspired, custom-built car named Mother Medusa. At first, Glodell’s goals for the movie were small. “I thought it would be cool if there was one copy at Blockbuster, or if it was out at Netflix. I remember saying to my friends, ‘If we make the movie and it turns out good, some young couple would watch it, and they’d be going through a tough part [of their relationship]. And [after seeing it] they’d realize they should stop fighting.’” In the film, Woodrow and Aiden have a fixation with post-apocalyp-

Glodell, a former engineering student, was behind all the weaponry — none of which is done with CGI. “If people didn’t know us, they might think we’re all crazy,” he says. “But I have a very good understanding of basic physics.” While he admits it was fun to spend entire days blowing stuff up with his buddy, “the film is first.

Though Glodell ensured safety, he would push the edges. “When you’re there, you’re all ‘How do you get the coolest shot?’ The camera’s here and it’s going to be a little iffy, but it’s going to be the coolest shot.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (E XPRESS)

Maryland — land of Crab Chips™, old ladies who call you “Hon” and a surprisingly bountiful heavy-metal scene. Much of the state’s music-nerd cred rides on the dark allure of doom bands (the Obsessed, anything at Maryland Deathfest). But Baltimore’s Kix continues to represent for Maryland hair metal at its finest. Since the late ’70s, lead screecher Steve Whiteman, second from left, and co. have been cranking out a sound indebted to the sparkly Brit glam of the Sweet, but with way more acid-washed denim vests. Rams Head Live, 20 Market Place, Baltimore; Sat., 9 p.m., $25; 410-244-1131, Ramsheadlive.com.

<_h[\bo Firefly fancies up your snow-day lunch favorite with the Cadillac Grilled Cheese Sandwich ($11). Between two slices of white bread lie Roth Kase Gruyere Surchoix and Cabot aged cheddar, as well as béchamel sauce. “The cheese ends up being much more velvety and sexy than a grilled cheese of our childhood,” says chef and general manager Danny Bortnick, “and the bread, smeared with a garlic-herb butter, has a nice chew.” Firefly, 1310 New Hampshire Ave. NW; 202-8611310, Firefly-dc.com.

:9#) Don’t ever go near one of those vegetarian hot dogs — not if you value your taste buds. But DC-3’s California Left Winger ($5.99) appeals even to meat-eaters. (DC-3 is known for hot dogs, but this is really more of a sandwich.) A deep-fried falafel shaped like a sausage is topped with tzatziki, avocado and tomato, and served on a Heidelberg deli bun. It’s a Middle Eastern taste that’s ready for the ballpark. DC-3, 423 8th St. SE; 202-546-1935, Eatdc3.com. (Eastern Market)

9W`kd ;nf[h_[dY[ Residents of New Orleans should not freak out when they see the veggie po’boy ($12) on the menu at Cajun Experience. While the relative of the hoagie traditionally features oysters or shrimp, chef Thomas Schoborg points out that it’s easy to get roast beef or pork po’boys. “They’re really expanding the type of po’boys you can get, and we wanted to offer something for vegetarians, or people who wanted something a little lighter.” Made of lightly sautéed seasonal vegetables — some of which come from the Frederick, Md., farm of one of the restaurant’s investors — this isn’t the deep-fried ball o’ batter you might expect.

Ckii[b 8Wh Chef Robert Wiedemaier lost 48 pounds with the help of his veggie wrap. “I’m a big meat-eater. If I’m going to eat vegetables, it’s going to have to be tasty and spicy.” So when he opened Mussel Bar, he put his signature sandwich-esque meal ($10-$12) on the menu. Homemade hummus is spread on a grilled spinach tortilla, then “I take yellow peppers, red peppers, shitake mushrooms, pine nuts, a confit of tomatoes, and asparagus, and I sauté that all together with a little sesame oil.” He tosses in fresh coriander at the end and tops it with tzatziki sauce. (For more protein, add pork belly for an additional cost.) Mussel Bar, 7262 Woodmont Ave., Bethesda; 301-21578187, Musselbar.com. (Bethesda)

Sauca’s spongy flatbread carries hummus, saffron rice, kalamata olives and tomatoes, all topped with a dill-yogurt sauce. If you crave more spice, the SOB Veggie features a smoky tomato salsa, rice, beans, cheese, mango pico de gallo and the spicy chimichurri sauce.

L_i_ed0 “When you put chefs and restaurants in a box and categorize them, it stifles creativity,” Cooper says. “Open up the box and say, ‘Do whatever you want,’ and the possibilities become endless.” With that as his mantra, the James Beard Award-winning chef has created a dinner experience that prides itself on its scope and vision.

BUFFALO WINGS TUESDAY - FRIDAY 4PM - 7 PM

At chef RJ Cooper’s ambitious new tasting menu restaurant, the adventure begins before you even take a single bite. To get there, you go down a quiet side street near the convention center and turn into an alleyway that looks like it’s seen some shady deals. Coming around a corner at the end, you find yourself in front of a wood façade. Graffiti of a knife superimposed on a wishbone seems to float above the door. Welcome to Rogue 24.

Walking distance to Van Dorn Metro Station Lamb neck with fermented garlic is one of many dishes diners may find at Rogue 24.

Rogue’s open kitchen is where chef RJ Cooper oversees his intricate meals.

star anise. Nearby there’s a sprinkling of “soil” (ground pecan, dark chocolate cocoa powder, barley and coffee), sheep’s milk yogurt spiked with carrot juice, a relish made with carrot top stems, a tiny salad of carrot top leaves and a sprinkle of carrot dust. Despite the complexity of the dishes, Cooper says he doesn’t want to do food that’s overly cerebral. “If you have to think too much about what you’re eating, then the experience isn’t in the taste buds; it’s in the mind,” he says.

;Wji0 The menu constantly evolves, so no two meals will be alike. No matter what is served, Cooper strives to create cuisine that is as playful as it is flavorful. Case in point is the Fowl Play: a salt-cured quail’s egg laid in a nest made with golden threads of fried corn silk. On top rest two slivers of duck gizzard ham, dehydrated chicken skin cracklins and a scattered bouquet of miniature fresh flowers. The What’s Up, Doc? places a loin of rabbit in a small pool of carrot juice infused with cardamom, coriander seed, fennel and

Derek Brown designed the cocktails here. His inventive and imaginative creations match Cooper’s cuisine well.

I’LL NEVER FORGET WHERE I WAS.

It happened while I was on my way to work, and when I got to the ofﬁce, it was all anybody could focus on. Co-workers were huddled in front of the breakroom TV; we sat, stunned and speechless, as the horrible day unfolded before us. It was painful to watch, and yet we couldn’t seem to turn away from the biggest story of our lives.

9/11 Gallery Sponsored by Comcast

he Newseum’s 9/11 Gallery, sponsored by Comcast, is the first permanent museum exhibit about the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the Newseum is offering free admission to visitors Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 10 and 11, as space allows.

Ifehji Strasburg’s stellar return proves the phenom is just fine 9ecc[djWho Now can we finally move past the angst over bringing Stephen Strasburg up to the majors in September, the worry that his elbow ligament was replaced with a Red Vine encased in uncooked rigatoni? I’m no doctor, and I don’t play one on TV, but he seemed just fine Tuesday night. I never thought the Nationals would rush Strasburg to the majors with absolutely nothing on the line.

If he came up in September, it would be because he was ready. And he was. He was masterful in five innings against the Dodgers: 56 pitches, 40 for strikes. He was supposed to be pulled after four innings, but he was so economical with his pitch8o JhWY[[ es, they gave him >Wc_bjed another inning — and asked him to take over the Federal Reserve. Could he have gone further? You bet. But the pitch count is the important number. Strasburg’s rehab is The Plan within The Plan, and love or hate The Plan, you know

the Nats are committed to it. After seeing Jordan Zimmermann’s comeback from the same Tommy John surgery that Strasburg underwent, fans should have had faith that the Nats knew what they were doing, at least as it pertains to pitchers’ arms. Yet some didn’t. So the naysayers nayed and the poohpoohers … poohed, I guess. Strasburg’s performance should put an end to that. And he did it without all the Strasmas hoopla, which was probably for the best. The rain was partially responsible, but everyone seems to have matured since Strasburg dominated the Pirates with 14 strikeouts in his major league debut last year.

TONI L. SANDYS/TWP

All Goes According to Plan for the Nats

Stephen Strasburg threw five shutout innings against the Dodgers Tuesday.

Strasburg is a smarter pitcher than a year ago: He’s more willing to go for a grounder when a mighty whiff is elusive. Facing your own sports mortality will do that to you. I’m sure Strasburg had some dark days last summer when he wondered if he’d ever step on a major league mound again. He was always coachable, and rehab certainly didn’t change that. Rehab also didn’t cool his fire. Strasburg was more than ready to go Tuesday night. The Nats felt he was more than ready as well. The Dodgers would say he was more than ready to go. Surely everyone else is convinced now. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Ifehji 9ebb[][ <eejXWbb The Southeastern Conference has opened its doors to Texas A&M. However, the move is on hold because one Big 12 school has threatened legal action if the Aggies leave. The announcement Wednesday that the SEC will make the Aggies the 13th SEC team once the legal issues are resolved is the latest step of a courtship which the Aggies initiated in July.

The presidents and chancellors met Tuesday “with the intention of accepting the application of Texas A&M to be the newest member of the SEC.” Then the deal hit a snag. Baylor was suspected in causing the delay, but a person familiar with the Big 12 situation told The Associated Press multiple schools had not given up

Oklahoma President David Boren said last week that multiple conferences have expressed interest in the Sooners and he expects a decision soon. Oklahoma State billionaire booster Boone Pickens also said he doesn’t think the Big 12 will survive much longer and predicted the Cowboys will eventually join the Pac-12. (AP)

A Fish in the Hand Two self-professed Oklahoma hillbillies (Skipper, left, and Scooter Bivens, right) lead a group of thrill-seekers to a lake. In neck-deep water, they aim to flush out a daddy catfish guarding the eggs in its nest. The humans struggle to grab the thrashing papa with bare hands. Look out — those catfish can bite! That’s what happens each Sunday on “Hillbilly Handfishin’” (Animal Planet, 10 p.m.). Animal Planet boasts that handfishing will “positively affect” participants. 8o CWhY What about the catI_bl[h fish? Reaching in a nest can damage eggs; even if the adult fish is released, it can be hurt as well. “You’re sticking your hand in its mouth,” points out Joe Jerek of the Missouri Department of Conservation. And while the show mainly depicts “catch and release,” real-life handfishers often take the catfish home for dinner. Without Dad, says Jerek, eggs will typically form a fungus and die. To protect catfish, most states ban hand-fishing — but there are exceptions. This year, Texas became the 12th state to OK the practice. Another new Texas law legalizes hunting wild hogs from aircraft. So maybe the next show to drive animal lovers crazy will be “Helicopter Hog Huntin.’” Comments?

Wednesday, salutes four architects of music — including the improvisational saxophone of Sonny Rollins, the Broadway warmth of Barbara Cook, the tender cello of Yo-Yo Ma and the pulsing anthems of Neil Diamond. The center has also selected actress Meryl Streep, renowned for her flawless interpretations of characters. The Honors are given the first weekend of December with an evening of all-star salutes at the Kennedy Center. (The show will air on CBS later that month.) “You can look at the people chosen this year, and this is the 34th year,” says George Stevens, Jr., the co-producer of the Honors show, “and say arguably they are the best at what they do.”

With an ability to move from pop to rock to folk, Diamond has sold 128 million records. The 70-yearold singer has written songs for others, such as the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer,” and for himself, with the hits “Sweet Caroline,” “Solitary Man,” “Love on the Rocks” and “America.” But the writing hasn’t always been easy. “For a while it became harder,” he says. “I went through a period of writing deeply personal songs. It was very hard to do. I was not only trying to write a song but at the same time trying to understand myself. Every song has a little bit of my story in it.”

8WhXWhW 9eea Cook, 83, a native of Atlanta, made her mark in 1956 in Leonard Bernstein’s musical “Glitter and Be Gay.” She won her first Tony Award for playing Marian the Librarian in “The Music Man,” singing the classic “Till There Was You.” Her longevity, she says, “is just plain old luck and, normally, I have tremendous energy.” She’s proud, she says, of adding her name to those of former honorees, such as her close friend, composer Stephen Sondheim. “This is so thrilling. James Cagney and Barbara Cook. Barbara Cook and Fred Astaire. Holy Hannah!”

Ieddo Hebb_di Rollins, who celebrated his 81st birthday Wednesday, has contributed so much to jazz that people for years have bypassed the adjective of “giant” and simply called him “a colossus.” A native of Harlem, the tenor sax player emerged as a coveted sideman in the 1950s, playing with Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Max Roach and others. In 1953, his recording “Sonny Rollins and the Modern Jazz Quartet” became a classic. Earlier this year, Rollins was awarded the National Medal of Arts. “I still practice every day. I am working hard to become more perfect in my art and presentation,” he says.

Ma, 55, born in Paris and raised in New York, is one of the most lauded musicians of his generation. He has won 16 Grammy awards and this year received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. All 75 of his albums have been on the Billboard best-seller lists. Although he was “overwhelmed” at the honor, the gathering of people at these occasions is what Ma finds most rewarding. “The people getting these awards are incredibly giving people,” he says. “In spite of incredible accomplishments, they are aware they are not the center of the universe.”

C[hob Ijh[[f Although every film buff knows this, it bears repeating. Streep, 62, has been nominated for more awards than any other actor in the history of the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. Out of 16 Oscar nominations, she won for “Sophie’s Choice” and “Kramer vs. Kramer.” Out of 25 Golden Globe nominations, she has won seven. Her work also includes two Emmys. A native of Summit, N.J., Streep started her dramatic climb at Vassar College and the Yale School of Drama.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The best thing you can do to further your own agenda is to keep things moving. Any unnecessary slowdown will only set you back. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to gravitate toward someone who knows how to work just as hard as you do, even though his or her duties are quite different. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Put yourself in anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a very good idea of just how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been affecting those around you lately. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The part you are playing in anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affairs may not be central, but what you do from the periphery makes a world of difference. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may want to try out a new idea by simply writing it down or saying it out loud. Pay attention to your instinctive reaction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Letting another know just how you feel in a certain situation, and just what you want to do about it, can lead to something quite enjoyable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can have a better time than expected simply by opening yourself up to possibilities that you have not yet considered. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been filling your schedule with all manner of business appointments and activities, but when are you going to have more fun?
