A Florida man wearing a T-shirt that read, in part, “Seriously, I have drugs” turned out to be a man of his word, according to the Tampa Bay Times. John Balmer was arrested at Kmart on Monday after police say he tried to give away a bag that contained marijuana and methamphetamine when he saw deputies walk in, the newspaper reported. A photo taken at the time of his arrest shows him in cuffs in front of a claw machine. (EXPRESS)

Police say a Florida man is charged with carrying his 5-month-old son while he acted as a lookout as his friend tried to break into a house, then threatened the owner of the home with a knife. Police said that the homeowner found Corey Mathews, 22, outside his home Monday. When Mathews spotted the homeowner, he alerted another suspect attempting to break into the home. That suspect fled, but was later identified.(AP)

Trash and debris collect along the shores of the Anacostia River near Nationals Stadium in July of 2011.

Off to the river’s rescue Activists have a vision for a clean, safe and swimmable Anacostia

Key Executive Leadership MPA Study real-world scenarios with a network of peers and gain the competencies necessary for SES appointment.

REGION Dev Murali and Doug Siglin each has a vision of the Anacostia River. Murali’s is of a fish with a red and grotesquely misshapen mouth, inflamed by the tumors that afflict many of the fish in the carcinogen-thick waters. Siglin waxes poetic about recreational boating and fishing, even about children swimming in the water. Murali’s view of the Anacostia is accurate, but both think they can turn Murali’s reality into Siglin’s dream. They are part of a coalition that is working to reverse the effects of decades of heavy industrial pollution on the river. It will take hundreds of millions of dollars,

years of labor and possibly going to court. But the Anacostia activists think they are on an achievable path to a river that is safe, clean and swimmable. “It’s not a question of if it gets cleaned up. It’s a question of when,” said Siglin, the executive director of the Federal City Council’s Anacostia River Initiative. Siglin’s goal? Ten years until the Anacostia is clean enough to swim in. D.C.’s official goal is a bit more modest. The D.C. Council has required that the city settle on a plan for cleaning it by June 2018. First, officials must determine the extent of the pollution. Studies have shown that up to a quarter of the river’s brown bullheads, a type of catfish, have skin tumors, and as many as half have liver tumors. A lot of waste has been dumped into the waterway. The Navy Yard

has been accused of leaking carcinogenic PCBs into the water for decades. The riverbanks have hosted a coal gasification plant, a rail yard, power and gas facilities, and other heavy industry, all of which used chemicals that could pollute the water. But which haunt the waters, and in what quantities, remains unknown. Federal law requires polluters to pay the cleanup costs. That means the study will need to adjudicate blame. The parties will need to decide how much of the chemicals come from, say, Pepco’s activities on the river, how much from the CSX rail yard, how much from the Navy. A nd a lthough estimates vary drastically, the cost of the cleanup is expected to be high. Siglin said it could be $100 million, while Murali said it “easily” could be $1 billion.

Bystander shot, wounded by police in Southeast

Prince George’s city votes to lower voting age to 16

A D.C. police officer chasing an armed robbery suspect opened fire Wednesday in Southeast, and authorities believe a bullet went through a barbershop wall and wounded a person inside, police said. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said that the injured person had been taken to the hospital and that she was told the wound was not serious. Lanier said the suspect was not struck. Mayor Muriel Bowser was at a meeting about a mile away from the scene when the shooting took place. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Hyattsville has become the second municipality in the country to lower the voting age for city elections to 16, nearly two years after its progressive neighbors in Takoma Park took similar steps. During a public meeting Monday night, residents young and older packed into City Hall to speak overwhelmingly in support of Council member Patrick Paschall’s measure to extend voting rights to more city residents. The Council voted 7 to 4 in favor of amending the city charter. (TWP)

18th-century time capsule finally opened Early residents of Boston valued a robust press as much as their history and currency if the contents of a time capsule dating back to the years just after the Revolutionary War are any guide. When conservators at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston removed items from the box Tuesday, they found five newspapers, a medal depicting George Washington, a silver plaque, two dozen coins, and the seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. While some of the coins appeared corroded, other items were in good condition and fingerprints could be seen on the silver plaque. The capsule was embedded in a cornerstone of the Massachusetts Statehouse when construction began in 1795. It was placed there by Revolutionary-era figures, including Paul Revere and Samuel Adams.

The NYPD’s apparent slowdown is saving residents money from fines.

NYC coffers hit as NYPD slows down NEW YORK For the past two weeks, the NYPD has drastically scaled back law enforcement. Criminal summonses and traffic tickets are down more than 90 percent from this time last year. In many precincts, the weekly tally of criminal infractions was near zero. Union leaders deny an organized movement. But the drop is viewed by many as a protest against Mayor Bill de Blasio and his perceived lack of support for police. This apparent effort is costing the city a lot of money. Court, criminal and administrative fines contribute some $800 million to the city’s annual budget, according to the New York Office of Management and Budget’s projections. To put that in perspective, the cigarette tax will bring in about $52 million a year.

Parking tickets alone bring in an average of $10.5 million a week. Last year, during New Year’s week, the NYPD handed out more than 16,000 parking tickets. This year, it distributed fewer than 2,000. De Blasio’s most recent budget was about $75 billion. So this protest won’t bankrupt the city. Still, it’s a good reminder that too often, cities rely on parking and traffic tickets for their revenue. Some communities in Missouri draw as much as 30 percent of their revenue from these fines, which fall disproportionately on poor, non-white people. Intended or not, the work stoppage will allow money to stay in the pockets of many New Yorkers who will use it better than the city could. JONATHAN BLANKS (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is preparing to release its latest dietary guidelines this year. The panel that advises the government is pushing for the guidelines — which advise Americans about healthy eating choices — to reflect what is healthy for the environment, too. Given the huge carbon footprint of meat production, a change would likely entail lowering government-recommended meat intake. (THE WASHINGTON POST) POLITICS

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said of U.S. President Barack Obama, “Yes, he sometimes calls me ‘Bro.’ “ But the storied “special relationship” between Britain and the U.S. has had its ups and downs. ADAM TAYLOR

The seduction Winston Churchill made the “special relationship” a key aspect of his foreign policy. During World War II, he used the relationship to help persuade Franklin D. Roosevelt to lead America into the war. “No lover ever studied every whim of his mistress as I did those of President Roosevelt,” he said in 1946.

The couple on the rocks Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan are often taken as the ideal for the “special relationship,” because of their similar economic and geopolitical outlooks, but the relationship wasn’t always perfect. Reagan had to personally apologize to the British prime minister for the U.S. invasion of Grenada in 1983.

We’re not buying it Firms are pushing to make products ‘smart,’ but consumers are wary TECHNOLOGY If tech firms have their way, everything you use on a daily basis, from your toothbrush to your car, will one day be connected to the Internet. At this week’s International CES, the consumer tech industry’s annual Las Vegas confab, you can’t go more than a few steps without hearing someone talk about connecting something new to the Internet. But as companies rush to embed chips in blankets and shoes, it’s unclear whether consumers are as hot on the “smart everything” trend.

The lapdog Tony Blair pushed for a deep British involvement in U.S.-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, leading the British press and public to label him a “lapdog” for George W. Bush.

After all, people don’t need an alert on their phone to tell them their toast is ready — the bread popping out is a pretty good clue. It’s one thing to have a smart appliance that saves you time or money, which is the main selling point for successful devices such as the Nest thermostat. A critical and consumer darling, analysts have estimated the Nest sells around 100,000 units per month. But other smart products have not been so quick to catch on. Companies are tight-lipped about sales figures for smart appliances, but even Whirlpool has admitted that

its smart washing machine is “a little bit of a hammer looking for a nail right now.” Experts project that the market for smart appliances overall will only reach $5 billion in sales by 2015; by contrast, Whirlpool alone took in around $19 billion in sales for its appliance businesses last year. That may indicate a slow market for smart devices, except for the really useful ones. Do we really want to get updates from a smart diaper or an automatic, Internet-connected belt? For the majority of consumers, the answer right now is “no,

thank you.” In a new survey by Nielsen’s Affinnova group, more than 40 percent of U.S. adults said the smart products they’ve seen so far seem like gimmicks. Even a mong consumers who are buying such products, 83 percent say they are frustrating to set up, according to a new global survey from research firm Accenture. Those problems may be dampening enthusiasm for the revolution companies are trying to foment, a trend analysts predict could rake in more than $3.04 trillion by 2020 if firms get it right. Companies have to think hard about how to make connected devices useful, safe and understandable. That’s not to say the “Internet of Things” isn’t going to happen, but it probably requires a little more time at the drawing board, given the products companies in Vegas are pitching this week.

12 slain over satire in Paris Gunmen open fire at French newspaper that has often been a target of Islamist rage

Three suspects in case identified by police French police late Wednesday identified three men, including two French brothers, as suspects in the attack at the offices of Charlie Hebdo that killed 12. As of Express’ deadline, there was no official confirmation of arrests, though French media reported that police had surrounded an apartment building where the attackers were hiding. While no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, witnesses said one gunman claimed allegiance to al-Qaeda in Yemen.

After the bombing, the paper moved to a nondescript location in an office building in Paris, initially guarded by riot police.

PARIS Wednesday’s attack on a French satirical newspaper that’s known for provocative content on Islam appeared highly planned to coincide with a staff meeting and left its well-known editor, Stephane Charbonnier, and other staff members among the 12 dead. “We killed Charlie Hebdo,” one of the assailants shouted, according to a video later aired on French television. The weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo has lampooned just about every religion — one past cover depicted an Orthodox Jew kissing a Nazi soldier; another showed Pope Benedict XVI dancing with a member of the Swiss Guard — but its flippant treatment of Islamic subjects has brought the harshest responses. Depictions of the prophet Muhammad are strictly prohibited in the Islamic faith. In 2007, two French Muslim groups sued the newspaper for its decision to publish about a dozen Danish cartoons of Muhammad. The case was rejected in French courts. Charlie Hebdo went on to publish a steady stream of provocative cartoons. There’s the infamous 2011 cover, when the paper hit the newsstands as the temporarily renamed Charia Hebdo, a crude play on the word “sharia.” “100 lashes if you are not dying of laughter,” Muhammad was depicted saying on the cover. Inside, there was more: Muhammad was depicted again, with a red clown nose. Charlie Hebdo’s headquarters was firebombed the next day. The attack destroyed the offices but injured no one. “This is the first time we have

Developments

Muhammad in the paper came amid an already tense international environment. The French police called Charbonnier and asked the newspaper to reconsider publishing the cartoons. When he declined to do so, law enforcement once again stationed riot police outside Charlie Hebdo’s offices, and the government moved to close the French Embassy and a French school in Tunisia. Over the years, Muslim anger at the publication has burned

slowly in the background. Charlie Hebdo continued to depict Muhammad and critique Islam in its editorial pages, resisting calls to stop the practice. Only hours before the attack, the newspaper’s Twitter account carried a cartoon titled “Still No Attacks in France” showing Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi giving a New Year’s greeting. “Just wait,” a fighter says in the drawing. “We have until the end of January to present our New Year’s wishes.” With Wednesday’s brazen attack on the paper, the simmering anger roared tragically to life. “The murderers dared proclaim Charlie Hebdo is dead,” said Secretary of State John Kerry. “But make no mistake, they are wrong. Today, and tomorrow, in Paris, in France and across the world, the freedom of expression this magazine represented is not able to be killed by this kind of act of terror.” ABBY PHILLIP AND ABBY OHLHEISER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Messages of condolence, outrage and defiance over the attack spread quickly around the world Wednesday with thousands of people taking to the streets in protest. Many who poured into Place de la Republique in eastern Paris waved papers, pencils and pens. Similar gatherings took place at London’s Trafalgar Square, in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, in Madrid, Brussels and elsewhere.

Cartoonists worldwide express solidarity Among the dead in Wednesday’s attack were some of France’s best-known cartoonists, including Stephane Charbonnier and those known as Cabu, Tignous and Wolinski. The reaction to their deaths was swift and intense from their peers. Washington Post’s Tom Toles drew a cartoon of a weapon next to a pen with the words “The pen will endure.” Australia’s David Pope tweeted a cartoon of a masked gunman standing next to the corpse of a cartoonist. A speech bubble says “He drew first.” (TWP/AP)

Will Robert Griffin III be the Redskins’ starting quarterback in 2015?

THREE POINTERS

ALEX BRANDON (AP)

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Tough decisions ahead

Each home team is favored by at least six points in this weekend’s playoff games. Here’s a ranking of the three teams with the best chance at pulling the upset (sorry, Carolina). JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

3 Colts over Broncos Peyton Manning limped into the playoffs, throwing three TDs to six picks in his last four games. Will the Broncos’ running game have to carry them in the postseason?

IT TOOK THE WORST CONSECUTIVE SEASONS in his 15-year tenure to convince Redskins owner Dan Snyder

to finally hire a real talent evaluator as general manager. Enter the rainmaker — Scot McCloughan, who reportedly agreed to a four-year deal Wednesday. McCloughan, who helped build the 49ers and Seahawks into powers, will get final say on the roster and Snyder has promised to be hands-off (heard that before, like after every new coach and front-office hire). Here are five things McCloughan needs to decide quickly:

RGIII’s fate

It’s easier for McCloughan to trade quarterback Robert Griffin III for a conditional draft pick than to keep him. The new GM has no relationship with Griffin, who looked worse than ever in 2014, his third NFL season. If they commit to Griffin, they need to exercise their fifth-year option on him by May 3, at a cost of around $16 million. That’s a huge gamble, but keeping Griffin without an extension would be a major distraction. McCloughan needs to look coach Jay Gruden straight in the eye and ask, “Can Griffin succeed?” Most likely, Gruden would say no and Griffin would be gone by training camp.

Coaching staff

General managers pick their coaches. The Redskins need a defensive coordinator, but will McCloughan decide that a whole new coaching staff is needed? Gruden is a likable person who’s not interested in GM duties, so he will likely stay for now. The hiring of McCloughan probably buys Gruden more time to improve, as the roster is about to be completely flipped. But another 4-12 season might have McCloughan looking for his own guy in 2016. The two will work together … until they can’t. Meanwhile, Gruden has to accept McCloughan picking a defensive coordinator and any other support staff.

Redskins fire head strength coach Ray Wright

Scouting

Late owner George Preston Marshall used to draft players off of lists from magazines. The current scouting staff hasn’t done much better. McCloughan needs to find his own scouts and milk the current staff for their work before releasing them after the April 30– May 2 draft. McCloughan found plenty of gems in the past drafts by judging intangibles — something the current crew just can’t do. There’s no teaching them. It’s just better to thank them for their service and wish them well elsewhere. McCloughan should increase the scouting budget until Snyder wonders where Redskins One is.

The No. 5 pick

Should the Redskins keep the fifth overall selection in the draft and try to find one impact starter or should they trade down and look for two good players? Given the lack of talent, trading down makes sense. But if Washington can get a standout safety like Alabama’s Landon Collins or an offensive tackle like Iowa’s Brandon Scherff — positions the Redskins so badly need to fill — it’s hard to move the pick. And will they be tempted by quarterback Jameis Winston? A defensive lineman might be the top player left at No. 5 and the Redskins need that, too. Frankly, the Redskins need nearly everything.

Communication

The owner supposedly has agreed to be hands-off, but the biggest mistake former coach Marty Schottenheimer made was distancing Snyder from the team. When Schottenheimer started 0-5, Snyder decided to fire him at season’s end and didn’t reconsider despite an 8-3 finish. The lesson is McCloughan needs to keep the owner informed, much like former GM Bobby Beathard did with owner Jack Kent Cooke. Snyder doesn’t need to go into exile, just watch from a distance. McCloughan needs Snyder to be a partner, not a boss. Will that happen? Well, there’s a first time for everything.

MUSICIAN, DAD, ACTOR (‘THE NEWSROOM,’ ‘DUMB AND DUMBER TO’) Jeff Daniels started playing guitar when he moved to New York in 1976 to pursue acting, but he didn’t perform publicly until 2000. It took Daniels three years of gigs — annual fundraisers for his Michigan theater company, The Purple Rose — before he felt comfortable singing his songs onstage. “You have to have a character to play,” Daniels says. “It’s still you, but don’t walk out there like you’re going to open your diary. Once I figured out the character, which was basically me in a good mood, the nerves went away.” Daniels, 59, recently released a new folk rock album, “Days Like These,” and is on tour with Ben Daniels Band, a group led by his son.

When he was in high school, he was playing hockey, dating lots of girls and I said, “Whenever you wanna learn to play guitar, let me know,” thinking it’s a father-son thing. At 19, he walked into my home office and he said, “I’m ready. … Teach me the guitar.” “OK” — I dropped everything — “Let’s start with the blues.” That was 11 years ago and he’s had a guitar in his hand ever since. How do you write? With an acoustic guitar you’re always able to. Even if you’re on a movie set, I always have something with me, so there’s always a song in progress or a chord progression that needs work, so it’s anywhere. You’re always looking for the next good song. Or you’re trying to write the bad one to get to the good one. Do you ever wish you could just hole up in a basement for a marathon jam session? Well, we just built a home recording studio, so we have that ability. So as soon as I can stop Dumb and Dumbering and making movies in Budapest, I’m going to get in there. That’s what it’s designed to do: just immerse yourself in all things music.

You’ll laugh all night short DC Shorts Laughs! is like comedy tapas: You get a little of a whole bunch of stuff. The folks behind the annual DC Shorts Film Festival (returning in September) are putting on two different 90-minute shows this weekend featuring comedic shorts and actual comedians, some of whom are short and some of whom are tall. The comedians, who will perform both nights, include Franqi French, winner of the 2014 District Comedy’s March Madness contest; Sara Armour, Washington City Paper’s 2013 runner-up for best comedian in D.C.; and Consumer Product Safety Commission statistician/comedian David Miller, who we assume doesn’t just make statistics jokes.

A lot on your small plate creativity. “We’re celebrating the major ones within the country.” That explains why dim sum appears on the menu alongside sushi and ceviche, and why the impressive collection of pisco (a grape brandy common throughout South America) is complemented by a strong sake showing. The cocktail program is overseen by Juan Coronado, the beverage director for all of Andres’ restaurants. Expect seasonal fruit-infused pisco cocktails and variations on pisco sours, the signature, frothy South American drink made with citrus, egg whites and bitters. Not even the decor is safe from a jumble of cultural influences: Above a tatami table (floor-level seating arrangements popular in Japan) there are fluorescent lights in the patterns of the Nazca Lines (huge line drawings of unknown origin etched into a southern Peruvian desert). The restaurant — which has been in the works since Jose Andres visited Peru for a culinary conference in September 2013 — maintains that despite the mishmash of influences, China Chilcano is above all else a Peruvian restaurant. “We’re not a Chifa restaurant, and we’re not a Nikkei restaurant,” Garcia says. “We’re a Peruvian restaurant keeping a strong cultural tradition.”

KEN WYNER

OPENINGS The aeropuerto dish at China Chilcano — Jose Andres’ justopened Peruvian meets Chinese meets Japanese restaurant in Penn Quarter — is poised to become one of the newbie’s most popular offerings. Spanish for “airport,” the name of the traditional Peruvian dish has more interpretations than the final episode of “Serial.” One staffer says the broad pile of fried rice, noodles and nearly 20 seasonal vegetables is so named because it’s wide enough to land a plane on. Another believes it’s because the dish has so many different things happening at once, much like an airport. And one says it’s because nearly any ingredient can land in it. Etymology aside, the dish is a prime example of the hodgepodge of flavors happening at Andres’ latest small plates spot. Though seemingly incongruous, the menu at China Chilcano is a celebration of Peru’s diverse culinary heritage, which is intertwined with Chinese and Japanese cuisines (known in Peru as Chifa and Nikkei, respectively) following an influx of immigrants in the late 19th century. “There are so many different cultures within Peru’s culinary world,” says Ruben Garcia, the restaurant’s director of culinary

The menu is full of street foods, like the seafood pancake, which is mixed with panko flakes to keep it crisp. “The flavors we serve here have to appeal to our emotions,” says Cho, whose wife, MyungEun Cho, is Bul’s chef. “You never forget those childhood favorites, and for us it’s food like this served street-side.” HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

At the top of his enemy list is anyone messing with his daughter, placing Mills with these over-and-above movie dads. ‘MR.

Then hilarity happens! ‘BIG FISH’ In the film that proved Tim Burton could be lovely as well as weird, a son learns that his father is both a giant liar and completely honest. ‘KRAMER VS.

Astronaut Ed White was the first American to take a walk in space, on June 3, 1965.

Wanna step outside? Smithsonian looks back on 50 years of perilous, exhilarating spacewalks EXHIBITS When Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov popped out of the Voskhod 2 spacecraft on March 18, 1965, it was broadcast live on Russian TV and radio. Leonov’s father, who was watching from home, was alarmed. “Why is he acting like a juvenile delinquent?” he shouted at a gathering of journalists. “Everyone else can complete their mission properly, inside the spacecraft. What is he doing clambering about outside?”

What Leonov was doing was showing that people, when properly equipped, can survive in open space. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Leonov’s walk and the first American spacewalk, by Ed White a few months later, the National Air and Space Museum is mounting a new exhibit, “Outside the Spacecraft: 50 Years of Extra-Vehicular Activity,” which showcases the equipment central to these early missions. “Even with the best technology available, these first few spacewalks didn’t always go smoothly,” exhibit curator Jennifer Levasseur says. That was certainly true for

Leonov, whose spacesuit inflated and become too large to fit back into the airlock. Soviet officials abruptly cut the live feed while Leonov, without consulting ground control, vented about half of the air out of his spacesuit and smushed himself back into the spacecraft. That was just the beginning of Leonov’s troubles, as he and his crewmate struggled with multiple equipment failures and crash-landed in a Siberian forest, where they endured below-freezing temperatures before being rescued. The first American spacewalk was a cakewalk, in comparison. On June 3, 1965, White floated serenely outside Gemini 4,

shooting oxygen out of a gun to propel him to the end of his tether and back. After 23 minutes, White said, “I’m coming back in … and it’s the saddest moment of my life.” The museum has the gold umbilical cord that linked White to his spaceship on view, as well as his gloves, maneuvering gun and camera — all objects rarely put on display. “Because it is a short-term exhibit and an anniversary, we can show some of these fragile and sensitive items that we don’t always get to have on display,” Levasseur says. That includes the inner layer of a spacesuit worn by Gene Cernan as he performed history’s third spacewalk, on June 5, 1966. Cernan spent a half hour floating helplessly at the end of his tether, unable to control his orientation or rotation. Then, when the sun was eclipsed by the earth, he was engulfed in darkness. After two hours and eight minutes, ground control made him give up the mission. “He had so much trouble just staying near the spacecraft,” Levasseur says. “He sweated like crazy, his heart rate went up to almost 200 beats per minute, which is really unheard of when you have no gravity forcing itself on your heart.” That experience taught NASA the importance of handholds, which astronauts can use to pull themselves around a spacecraft. The agency also opened an underwater training facility, since SCUBA diving turns out to be great preparation for spacewalking, Levasseur says.

The inner layer of Gene Cernan’s spacesuit saw some major action on a disastrous 1966 spacewalk.

The moon, at least, has a little gravity, and one of the coolest parts of the new exhibit is a pale blue boot worn by Cernan on NASA’s last lunar mission. He wore it while exploring the moon’s surface over a three-day period in December 1972. The carefully preserved boot is still covered in lunar dirt and dust. “You can actually see the boot that made the last footprint on the moon,” Levasseur says. Since then, astronauts floating in open space have upgraded the Hubble Space Telescope, assembled a space station and made numerous repairs. No one has ever died on one of these extra-vehicular excursions, but there are still close calls. In 2013, International Space Station astronaut Luca Parmitano nearly drowned in his own helmet, which filled with water when his spacesuit’s cooling system malfunctioned. “Space is a harsh, inhospitable frontier and we are explorers, not colonizers,” Parmitano wrote on the European Space Agency’s blog. “The skills of our engineers and the technology surrounding us make things appear simple when they are not, and perhaps we forget this sometimes. Better not to forget.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

made her own. “Most of my career, I’ve been a finder of songs, a gatherer of songs,” Harris said in a release for her 2008 album “All I Intended to Be.” That skill, in addition to her warm, angelic voice, may be the key to her still-thriving career. Harris, 67, was born in Alabama, spent her formative years in Woodbridge, Va., and later moved to Maryland for a time. She also hosts an annual benefit show for her dog rescue, Bonparte’s Retreat, at The Hamilton. Before Harris joins big names like Sheryl Crow, Alison Krauss and Vince Gill onstage Saturday, we spoke with three other musicians taking part in the show to get a sense of Harris’ legacy.

HOW HE KNOWS HARRIS: She

recruited the Canadian producer to helm “Wrecking Ball,” the 1995 album that reinvented her sound and revived her career. The album is at once sparse and dense, with an ethereal quality (and a Jimi Hendrix cover) that distances it from her country roots. Last year, the two revisited the album on a tour that hit the Lincoln Theatre. AS SWEET AS THEY COME: “She’s a sweetheart,”

Lanois says. “You’re not going to find a nicer person, that’s for sure. She’s been doing it long and there’s not a lot of prima donna in that woman.” STUDIO STORIES: While recording “Wrecking

Ball,” Lanois had the musicians sit in a circle, bluegrass-style, to keep the recordings balanced and alive. “It was pretty clear early on that we were going to do a lot of live vocals because when you work with such a great singer you don’t want to miss that opportunity,” he says. “We always had that feeling of singing in the kitchen.”

JAN 23

CANELLAKIS–BROWN DUO

HOW SHE KNOWS HARRIS:

Mainly as a fan. Watkins has met her at festivals — Nickel Creek and Harris were on the same bill at last year’s Taste of Chicago — but they’ve never sung together. AN EARLY INSPIRATION: When Watkins was 4 or 5, she would listen to the “Trio” records — a collaboration between Harris, Parton and Linda Ronstadt — on repeat in the car. “I was young enough that my mom would try to get me to identify the different voices and Emmy’s was the first one I could identify,” she says. VOCAL INSTRUMENT: Growing up learning fiddle, Watkins didn’t always think of singers as real musicians. Harris changed that perception. “She was the exception to the rule,” Watkins says. COVERING SIMILAR GROUND: When Watkins went searching for songs to cover on her first solo record, she kept running into a problem: “I had the hardest time finding a song [Harris] hadn’t recorded,” Watkins says. “And I don’t need to record a song that Emmy’s done already.”

BANDLEADER: Along with guitarist Buddy Miller, Was is co-musical director of the concert, a role he served on similar tributes to Mavis Staples and Dr. John. “The question we always ask ourselves is: Does the artist have enough songs to sustain everyone’s enthusiasm?

She’s distilled her performance down to pure honesty. Every syllable rings true.”

She regularly co-hosts the relationship-themed storytelling show “Stripped Stories” and the stand-up showcase “Dive Comedy.” Next year, she’ll appear on the new Comedy Central show “This Is Not Happening.” But first, she headlines the Black Cat’s backstage.

While Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis, Tenn., will be celebrating the King’s birthday with a traditional party, Gala Hispanic Theatre is hosting something that sounds a little more like a late-night pizza-induced dream. This annual Fight Club features Elvis-themed burlesque, as well as staged fights between performers dressed as random pop culture figures. Previous matches have included Sarah Palin, Vladimir Putin, Martha Stewart and Godzilla, but this year’s lineup is a closely guarded secret. Fingers crossed for a showdown between Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow!

Friendsmas: Observations from binging on Season 1 This year, Jan. 1 wasn’t just New Year’s Day, it was Friendsmas — the day every episode of “Friends” started streaming on Netflix. Since I had a limited history with the show and a long holiday weekend, I started binging on the 20-year-old sitcom. Six days later, I’m through the first season. Here are some observations from watching 24 episodes of “Friends” quicker than any human should. Matthew Perry gets the best jokes. Chandler is sarcastic and kind of a jerk, which means he gets the funniest one-liners, earning him the title of Funniest Friend, at least for Season 1. Lisa Kudrow doesn’t have much to do. Maybe it’s because I just finished watching the best work of her career in “The Comeback” but Kudrow’s talents seem wasted as Phoebe,

who, at this point, is clearly the least important Friend. David Schwimmer is the worst. All Ross’ lines and reactions are so overdone that it almost takes you out of the show. It’s like he’s playing more to the studio audience than the people watching at home. A lot happens. There’s more plot than I expected in the first 24 episodes, especially for a ’90s sitcom. Ross and Rachel, particularly, both get arcs that play out throughout the season. It holds up well. The references and outfits, however, are pretty dated. Which, in some ways, makes them funnier. The theme song may drive you insane. For the first five episodes, The Rembrandts’ “I’ll Be There for You” was delightful. Now I never want to hear it again. For more of Rudi’s comedy musings, follow him on Twitter: @rudigreenberg.

The biblical epic “Exodus,” which was banned in Morocco for violating Islamic precepts, will be shown once again in the country. The Moroccan Cinematography Center explained in a statement that the film could now be shown in theaters after Fox Studios and director Ridley Scott took out dialogue implying one of the characters represented God.

And I think it’s orchestrated. … Someone is determined to keep Bill Cosby off TV, and it’s worked.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The most anticipated reads of 2015 MAY

BOOKS Chances are my favorite book in 2015 will be by somebody I haven’t heard of yet. (In 2014, it was “Fourth of July Creek,” by debut novelist Smith Henderson.) But still, it’s hard not to get excited by the prospect of reading these upcoming books by some of the world’s most celebrated writers. With the usual caveats about unhatched chickens, here’s my list.

“A God in Ruins,” Kate Atkinson: This companion to Atkinson’s bestseller “Life After Life” should have fans waiting in line. New work by Toni Morrison, left, and Jonathan Franzen will hit shelves this year.

FEBRUARY

MARCH

“Funny Girl,” Nick Hornby: This one’s not “About a Boy”; it’s about a young woman who becomes a BBC sitcom star in the 1960s. “A Spool of Blue Thread,” Anne Tyler: Baltimore’s beloved Pulitzer Prize winner has been publishing novels for 50 years. This one traces a family over four generations.

“ The Harder They Come,“ T.C. Boyle: Boyle has long been one of the most exciting and intelligent storytellers in the United States. His upcoming novel describes a mentally ill young man involved with a group of violent anarchists. “The Buried Giant,” Kazuo Ishiguro: Few details are available,

but this Japanese-born British writer has been shortlisted four times for the Booker Prize, which he won in 1989 for “The Remains of the Day.” Expect something fascinating.

APRIL “Early Warning,” Jane Smiley: This is the second book of the Pulitzer Prize winner’s trilogy

Vimeo signs deal with Ron Howard’s production company to stream four new series, Variety reports

GETTY IMAGES

AUGUST

about the Langdon family, which we met last year in “Some Luck.” “God Help the Child,” Toni Morrison: “Child” is about the way childhood trauma haunts a woman’s life. Just before he died, John Updike wrote an exasperated pan of the Nobel laureate’s historical novel “A Mercy” (2008), but he was wrong; she’s a magical writer.

“Flood of Fire,” Amitav Ghosh: The finale in the Indian author’s Ibis trilogy about the 19th-century opium trade. The first books, “Sea of Poppies” and “River of Smoke,” are two of the best historical novels I’ve ever read.

SEPTEMBER ”Purity,” Jonathan Franzen: His first novel since “Freedom,” hailed by some as the Great American Novel and decried by others as preachy. Prepare for a few weeks of Obsessive-Compulsive Franzen Coverage (OCFC). RON CHARLES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“The problem, apparently, is either that we are an entertainment website or that we are an ‘Intimate Apparel/ Swimsuit’ forum. (Does the DOJ know how frequently we blog while not wearing pants? How deep does this thing go?)” ANNA MERLAN AT JEZEBEL.COM

reports that the blog’s staff was amused and bewildered when it received tips Wednesday that the site had been blocked at the Department of Justice. A tipster reported the site was available last month and that other Gawker Mediaowned blogs were still accessible.

“So the obvious question: Shouldn’t the body cameras be turned on before the Taser is armed?” MATT NOVAK AT GIZMODO.COM echoes the same question many on social media were asking in response to a report that the Los Angeles Police Department ordered 3,000 new Taser weapons this week that, when used, would automatically activate cameras on officers’ uniforms. “This technology gives a much better picture of what happens in the field,” Taser spokesman Steve Tuttle told Reuters. But Novak wondered, “How does the activation of a body camera mere moments before someone is getting tased help investigators determine after the fact whether it was a justified use of force?”

“As to whether Starbucks can serve a good flat white, well, at least this reporter can safely say she’s thankful that the drink isn’t as hot as some of its espresso drink cousins. That certainly came in handy when she spilled it all over herself.”

learned a lot writing about the Belfie Stick, the successor to the Selfie Stick announced Wednesday. Unlike the Selfie Stick, the Belfie Stick is bendable to take selfies of one’s backside — or belfies. The innovation is the result of a poll of 10,000 users by social network site On.com and can be preordered for $80.

MEDIUM

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be feeling protective of one who cannot protect him — or herself. It’s easier than expected to do what must be done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) It’s not up to you to make all the decisions, but when a decision is made for you, it will certainly be up to you to make it pay off. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may feel as though you are without purpose somehow, especially since an important personal phase has ended. ARIES (March 21-April 19) What happens today may surprise even those who expect anything and everything. Does this include you? Perhaps not — but enjoyment reigns. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may have to trick someone in your care into doing something that is good for him or her. Right now, the ends justify the means.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) That which springs from your imagination may well prove profitable — but not, most likely, right away. Be patient. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re ready to put something into motion that only recently was just a notion. Ideas develop quickly at this time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Those working

with you will realize that there is — and always has been — method to your madness. It’s time to go for broke.

TODAY: The morning will start off solidly frozen. Despite abundant sunshine, this will more than likely be the region’s coldest day of the year (thus far, at least) as temperatures only sluggishly rise into the high teens for many locations. Winds will be considerably weaker, though, blowing in around 10 mph.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Do

you want to give yourself the best possible opportunities at this time? It’s important for you to work on a realistic level. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may find yourself going back and forth several times before finally settling on a course of action that you think will pay off.
