Thursday’s bitter cold made for a miserable morning commute for Metro riders with delays on five of its six rail lines caused by the weather. It was one of the worst commutes in what had already been a bad week for the transit agency’s customers. (THE WASHINGTON POST ) Twice as long Riders complained of commute times that were more than twice as long as normal, with many of left standing outside in the frigid weather. Roger Kaplan’s normal 34-minute trip from Vienna to Federal Triangle took an hour and 11 minutes. “My feet were ice blocks by the time I got on a train,” he said.
Other weather issues
Why Metro tracks crack The recent temperature plunge almost certainly caused Metro rails to crack, contributing to the massive delays on several lines Thursday morning. Crews were able to splice together a cracked rail at Prince George’s Plaza but had to replace a 39-foot section of rail after a severe break at East Falls Church.
#MetroClosesDoors
TEMPERATURE
CRACK:
REPAIR:
Plenty of riders took to social media to express their frustration. One tweeted with the hashtag #MetroClosesDoors — mocking the transit agency’s slogan, “Metro Opens Doors.” Others tweeted pictures of packed trains and platforms. Many said there was not enough information about the extent of the delays.
CHANGE:
The sudden contraction causes two sections of track to crack and the pieces to pull apart.
Cracks can be temporarily bridged with a “splice bar” that holds the pieces together so trains can use the section of track. Sections too large to repair are replaced.
One reason rails crack is that when outside temperatures fluctuate from warm to very cold, tracks contract as atoms move more slowly and stay closer together.
SOURCE: DAN STESSEL OF WMATA, CAPITAL WEATHER GANG GRAPHIC: THE WASHINGTON POST
In addition to the cracked rails, Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said the cold conditions took a toll on Metro’s cars, some of which are 30 years old. He said a high number of trains were taken out of service on the Red Line because they had brake or door problems that were attributable to the weather.
D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton will meet with National Park Service officials next week to discuss a memorial to Francis Marion, a Revolutionary War hero who was also a South Carolina plantation owner and slaveholder. The National Park Service and other federal entities are considering putting it in Marion Park — which has the same namesake — in Capitol Hill, but some residents are unhappy about it. “If you place a monument where children play or that people use for dog walking or for other neighborhood activities ... you get some concerns,” Holmes Norton said. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)
The apology Metro officials acknowledged the difficulties and apologized. “There is no question it was a very, very difficult morning for our riders,” Stessel said. “We apologize to them. We know every minute had to feel like an additional 15 to 20 minutes. We apologize for that.”

Cuba, Va. talk trade, new opportunities Cuba’s top diplomat in the United States traveled to Virginia’s capital this week amid new hope that sweeping changes in U.S.-Cuba policy will bring major business opportunities to the commonwealth if trade opens up with the island nation. Jose Cabanas, the chief of the Cuban Interests Section, talked trade with Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and spoke with business and educational groups seeking closer ties to the island nation. Virginia has been trading with Cuba for more than a decade, when restrictions were loosened to allow exports of agricultural and medical products. Now the state is Cuba’s third-largest U.S. trading partner, behind Louisiana and Georgia. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

D.C. loses U.S. bid for 2024 Games to Boston The IOC will make its pick for the Olympics’ host city in Sept. 2017 REGION Washington’s upstart bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics came to an end Thursday when the U.S. Olympic Committee’s board of directors chose Boston as the city it would submit to the Games’ governing body as the American candidate. At a meeting at Denver International Airport, the 15-member board completed a formal selection process that began last month when the four finalist cities made their presentations. At the conclusion of Thursday’s meeting, the USOC leadership then hopped on a
8
plane for Boston. T he Wash i ng ton g roup, chaired by businessman Russ Ramsey and co-chaired by Wizards and Capitals owner Ted Leonsis, announced its intentions to bid in August 2013 and unveiled its board, logo, website and slogan (“Unity”) in September. The D.C. presentation was wellreceived by the USOC, but the city’s bid was considered an underdog, due mostly to its position as seat of American power. After a series of recent failed bids, the USOC was determined to pick a candidate that could win over the International Olympic Committee, a body widely assumed to include pockets of anti-Americanism. The United States hasn’t hosted a Summer Olympics since the 1996 Games in Atlanta, an
unusually long time for the IOC’s biggest broadcast partner. After submitting losing bids for New York in 2012 and Chicago in 2016, the USOC failed to bid at all on the 2020 Games. Washington also mounted a failed bid, jointly with Baltimore, for the 2012 Games. Boston will face stiff international competition, with major European capitals such as Rome, Paris and Berlin expected to bid, and with a potential South African bid becoming an instant contender to host the first Games in history on the African continent. Other cities considering bids include Budapest; Istanbul; Melbourne, Australia; and Doha, Qatar. The IOC will select the host city for the 2024 Games in September 2017.

local FAIRFAX COUNTY Braving sub-freezing temperatures, about three dozen protesters marched outside the Fairfax County police headquarters Thursday morning to demand information and accountability in the August 2013 police killing of John Geer in Springfield. Most of those present didn’t know Geer, a 46-year-old kitchen contractor and father of two, but expressed disgust that 16 months had passed without a decision on whether to charge Adam Torres, the officer who shot Geer, and that little about the
circumstances had been released. Keith Harmon, of Mount Vernon, said: “[My neighbor] could well call the police, say I’m a madman with a gun, and the cops may show up and kill me.” Geer had been in an argument with his longtime partner, when she called police to report that Geer was throwing her belongings out of the house. Witnesses said officers spoke to Geer for 50 minutes while he stood behind his storm door with his hands on its frame above his head. When he began to lower his hands, witnesses and police said, Torres

Over the holidays, Metro placed more than 1,000 new signs by the entrances of trains and buses. One of them reads, “Who needs this seat? You’d be surprised.” Carly Medosch was certainly surprised when she spotted it Monday on her Red Line commute. The message of the public service announcement is exactly what the 33-year-old Silver Spring resident promotes through her advocacy work: “Not all disabilities are
visible.” In Medosch’s case, Crohn’s disease and fibromyalgia force her to deal with fatigue, dizziness and nausea. But other people can’t discern that just by looking at her. So they’re unlikely to realize that she sometimes needs an easily accessible place to sit. This is the problem with Metro’s priority seating. Those interior-facing benches boast the best legroom, which makes them attractive to many riders — especially guys guilty of “manspreading,” with their thighs splayed out to the sides. So folks use them just like any

other seat, and only reluctantly pop up if someone hobbles on board with a cane. Metro’s new campaign (the first to address the issue since 2009) is a reminder that these seats are exclusively for people who need them, and should be kept empty to allow people with disabilities to take advantage of them without being forced into uncomfortable confrontations. It’s stressful to have to request that someone move (or just pick up a bag), says Medosch, who’s known even pregnant women to get rebuffed. Although she’s never had a bad run-in on Metro, she’s experienced pushback using her car’s disability tag: “People will shout at you and question you. I don’t want to have to show my medical records to strangers.” The idea of emphasizing that you can’t always recognize impairments came from input provided by Metro’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, says spokesman Dan Stessel. And while the signs are linked specifically to the priority seating, their message is something that Cleveland Park resident Pamela Ehrenberg, 42, hopes passengers think about throughout their rides. Her late husband had several cancer complications, including limited peripheral vision. So his concern wasn’t necessarily where to sit, but whether he’d get shoved in a crowded car. These signs may not adjust seating patterns, but Ehrenberg thinks they have the potential to shift attitudes: “This goes the extra step of opening people’s minds as to what is a disability.” And that’s a pretty good sign.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said her fourth Senate term will be her last.
California’s Boxer is calling it quits POLITICS California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, a tenacious liberal whose election to the Senate in 1992 heralded a new era for women at the upper reaches of political power, announced Thursday she will not seek reelection to a new term next year. Boxer’s retirement sets off a free-for-all among a new generation of California Democrats, who have been ascendant in the state for decades with few offices to aspire to while Boxer and Sen. Dianne Feinstein have held a lock on the state’s U.S. Senate seats. The 74-year-old Boxer made the announcement in an unusual video in which she answered questions posed by her grandson, Zach Rodham. “I am never going
to retire. The work is too important. But I will not be running for the Senate in 2016,” Boxer said. In the video, Boxer’s grandson is a surrogate reporter posing questions to her. Rodham is the son of Nicole Boxer and Tony Rodham, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s youngest brother. “I want to help our Democratic candidate for president make history,” Boxer tells her grandson, a reference to a possible Clinton bid. Boxer was first elected to the House in 1982 and to the Senate one decade later — a narrow victory, after a late revelation that her Republican opponent had attended a strip club. Now, Boxer would have been a prohibitive favorite to win if she had sought re-election. KEVIN FREKING (AP)
It’s one of the most important jobs a Republican senator can have: candy man. For 49 years, one person has been selected to stock a desk on the Senate floor with sweets to help lawmakers muscle through those long votes. This year the honor goes to Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Sweetest Place on Earth (aka Pennsylvania).

Middle age isn’t quite as terrible if you’re married WONKBLOG Researchers have shown that over the course of a lifetime, happiness generally follows a U-shaped curve: It is high when you’re young, dips in middle age and rises again going into your golden years. This makes some intuitive sense. Middle age tends to be a time when obligations to career and family are at their highest. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some way to mitigate that dip in middle-age happiness, flatten out that U a bit? Turns out, there is: You can get married. In a new working paper, Canadian economists Shawn Grover and John Helliwell show the effect of marriage on a lifetime of happiness. They find that married people are generally happier, and that the “happiness bonus” from marriage is strongest right in middle age — when you need it the most. “One hypothesis that could explain why the U-shape in life satisfaction over age is deeper for the unmarried than the married is that the social support provided by a spouse helps ease the stresses of middle age,” they write.

A massive manhunt for the gunmen who killed 12 people in a terrorist attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo shifted to the countryside north of Paris on Thursday. Here’s the latest. (AP/ THE WASHINGTON POST )
Manhunt widens Commandos and helicopter patrols poured into villages north of Paris following reports that the two main suspects — brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, 34 and 32, the Paris-born sons of Algerian immigrants — were spotted on the run and heavily armed.
Fears of violence spread Police conducted arrests amid fears that more attacks could be planned. France’s interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said at least seven people have been arrested as the probes expanded. Cazeneuve gave no details on the detainees or any possible connection to the suspects.

Hunt widens amid fears of another attack
Cherif Kouachi, 32, left, and brother Said, 34, are wanted for the Wednesday terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo.
Portraits of brothers emerge amid search One accused Charlie Hebdo killer had been to Yemen; the other to prison PARIS Cherif Kouachi was known to French authorities as a recruiter, a middleman, a guy who had conflicted feelings about joining the fight alongside Islamist militants in Iraq. What appeared Wednesday was very different. Kouachi and his brother Said — the main suspects on the lam in the massacre at the Paris satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo — moved like “hardened and welltrained fighters,” according to the Long War Journal, a publication of the D.C.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Rallies from Berlin to Bangkok defended the freedom of expression, and a few Western news sources, including The Washington Post, BuzzFeed and the Huffington Post, reprinted some of the controversial Charlie Hebdo cartoons that satirized the Muslim prophet Muhammad.
Mexico holding 13 police officers in probe of journalist kidnapping
If that description is accurate, it would mark a sharp transformation for Cherif Kouachi, a 32-year-old Parisian. He has been on authorities’ radar for a decade and was once convicted of terrorism-related charges, newspaper reports said. Both Kouachis were on the American no-fly list, a U.S. official said Thursday. That has raised questions as to how Cherif escaped notice while allegedly planning the attack. While answers to those questions remain unclear, reporters and authorities have begun to stitch together a portrait of Cherif
Kouachi. Less has become public about 34-year-old Said Kouachi, but French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said he was also known to authorities because he was “on the periphery” of the illegal activities his younger sibling was involved in. A U.S. official said the elder Kouachi had traveled to Yemen. It was unclear if he had joined up with extremists. Cherif Kouachi first came to the attention of authorities in the mid-2000s because of his relationship with Farid Benyettou, a radical preacher given to lengthy sermons on the merits of jihad.
VINCENT OLLIVIER, Cherif Kouachi’s attorney in his previous terrorism case, to the newspaper Liberation
Kouachi told him he wanted to attack Jewish targets in France, but Benyettou told him to hold off, according to a Bloomberg News report. France wasn’t a “land of jihad,” Kouachi was told. Iraq was. Even then, Kouachi didn’t adhere strictly to many Islamic precepts. He described himself as an “occasional Muslim,” The New York Times reported. Eventually Kouachi planned for his trip to the Middle East. But in 2005, his plan hit a snare when police arrested him and his traveling companion as they were about to leave. Kouachi told authorities he had been having second thoughts and was “relieved” when he was arrested. “My client was rather pleased to be arrested by police instead of seeing his project through,” Vincent Ollivier, his attorney, said in 2005. While other members of the recruiting network received lengthy prison sentences, Kouachi got off with a three-year sentence and was released in 2008. From there, he vanished from reports — only to re-emerge Wednesday, authorities said, to perhaps realize his aspirations of launching a terrorist attack in France.

An invasion of privacy
For the first time, products that protect your data find a place at tech’s big show
Yes, flu season is particularly bad this year
THINKSTOCK/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION
TECHNOLOGY When I say the word “privacy” to many of the presenters at International CES, the consumer tech show in Las Vegas this week, there’s a little sigh before they answer. The thing to get excited about at this year’s show is connecting everything to the Internet. Keeping information to yourself? You can almost see the thought bubble above their heads: “Luddite.” But if you, like me, are sick of being told your reluctance to share everything sets you against the flow of progress, there is a place for you at the massive tech show — first floor, South Hall. These, my friends, are our people. This is the first year that privacy-focused products have had their own part of the floor, which itself may be taken as evidence that privacy, particularly on mobile devices, is something that everyone should be thinking about. It’s a small space. There are only nine exhibitors here, a tiny fraction of the roughly 3,600 out on the show floor hawking their products. It’s not a place that will draw crowds: Safety wallets and virtual private networks are just not as fun to watch as a 3-D candy printer. But it is pulling in a steady stream of people, young and old, who want to know how to reconcile their love of gadgetry with the desire to keep some things to themselves. More Internet users are now taking small, deliberate steps to protect their privacy online. In fact, privacy is starting to become a selling point. Part of the drive behind that
WASHINGTONPOST.COM WONKBLOG
change, exhibitors here say, is that people have had to take security matters into their own hands. Consumers are finding — thanks to the rise in identity theft, hacks and massive data breaches — that companies aren’t always good stewards of their information. Vysk, which makes encryption software and cases that let you slide a cover over your cameras when you’re not using them, has seen an uptick in interest since hackers breached celebrity iCloud accounts and posted personal pictures from those accounts online. PIA, which sells a service to let people set up their own private networks, has seen its customer base shift from only young men to include women and older adults, said employee Joseph Craig. Other exhibitors offer their own theories on why privacy products for individuals have grown in profile enough to have
their own section this year. “It’s the Snowden effect,” said Aaron Zar, chief executive and founder of Peeled Group, referring to the former National Security Agency contractor who exposed government surveillance programs to the world in 2013. Zar’s company makes a line of wallets and cases called Silent Pocket, which are essentially a stylish tinfoil hat for your phone.
“It’s nice that CES would make space … for those of us who think about technology a little differently.” AARON ZAR, founder of Peeled Group, on the tech show’s inclusion of privacy-related products
U.N. secretary-general appeals to Boko Haram, Islamic State to free children
The leather cases are lined with a special sort of foil that blocks cellular, bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals, so you can’t get any calls or messages while your phone’s in the bag. The idea of disconnecting at CES is an anathema. I chuckle when I notice that the Kodak booth across from Vysk is showing off its home surveillance system — and I can just make out a camera pointed in our direction. But it’s not productive to think of it as a battle, in which these few companies are holding down the fort for privacy against the rest of the show. The whole point of the privacy area, and of many of the products being shown there, is that technology and privacy don’t have to fight. They can actually help each other. And these exhibitors — the few, the proud, the private — are happy to be here, preaching that message. HAYLEY TSUKAYAMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)
New Gallup data shows that this past December was one of the worst flu months since the polling organization started tracking flu season in 2008. On average, 4 percent of Americans reported they had the flu on any given day in December. The flu has already killed at least 21 children this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Americans just a few months ago freaked out too much over Ebola — a virus only four people in the U.S. have been infected with — and haven’t shown nearly as much concern for flu. Sure, flu season comes and goes every year, while Ebola was new to America and highly dangerous. But the risk of being infected with it was almost nonexistent, unless you were a health-care worker treating Ebola patients. A Gallup poll from early November shows the disconnect between Americans’ fears of Ebola and the flu. At the time, 17 percent of Americans said Ebola was the country’s most important health-care problem, ahead of things like obesity, cancer and diabetes. The survey, taken around the start of flu season, showed only 1 percent of Americans who said flu was the country’s most important health problem. It’d be interesting to see how that same poll would turn out today. JASON MILLMAN

It’s not all about QBs
Peyton Manning and the Broncos host the Colts on Sunday, while Tom Brady and the Patriots will face the Ravens at home on Saturday.
Where they’re weak MARK MASKE (THE WASHINGTON POST)
1 Panthers: Run defense
The Panthers ranked 16th in the league during the regular season in rushing yards allowed and 27th in yards per carry. That didn’t matter in last weekend’s win over Arizona, but it could matter quite a bit this weekend at Seattle. The Seahawks have Marshawn Lynch and led the league in rushing. 2 Colts: Hits on Luck
It’s not so much the sacks. Colts QB Andrew Luck was sacked 27 times this year, his fewest in a season in his three-year NFL career. It’s that Luck absorbs a lot of hits on plays on which he’s not sacked. The Colts play at Denver this weekend against
productive pass rushers in Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware, who combined for 24 sacks this year. 3 Ravens: Which Flacco?
At one point during the Ravens’ loss at Houston in Week 16, QB Joe Flacco was 4-for-22 with three interceptions. He also struggled for three quarters in Week 17 vs. the Browns before having a perfect passer rating in the fourth quarter as the Ravens squeezed into the playoffs. Then the postseason began, and Flacco was back to being Mr. January. He has 13 TD passes and no picks in his last five postseason games. 4 Broncos: Manning’s past
Five-time league MVP Peyton Manning is the greatest regularseason QB in NFL history. But when he last was seen playing a postseason game, he and the Broncos were being overrun by the Seahawks in last season’s Super Bowl. That dropped Manning’s career postseason record to 11-12.

Aaron Rodgers had an extra week to rest his injured calf muscle, thanks to the Packers’ first-round bye. But the fact that the injury has lingered, forcing Rodgers to exit the regular-season finale against the Lions temporarily before returning to the game, should be worrisome. 6 Cowboys: Defense
The Cowboys’ defense exceeded extremely low preseason expectations, ranking 19th in total defense and 15th in scoring defense.

3 Buckeyes defensive end
The 6-foot-5, 285-pounder led the Big Ten in sacks (13½) and tackles for loss (20). Bosa’s disruptiveness could affect the Ducks’ rhythm.
But an offense that featured NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray helped, as the Cowboys were among the league leaders in time of possession and kept their defense from being on the field for long stretches. That must continue for the Cowboys to make a run.

The potentially fatal flaws of the eight remaining teams in the NFL postseason NFL No team is perfect, even with the NFL now down to its final eight. Here is the issue most likely to factor in to the possible downfall of the remaining teams, ranked in order of how potentially damaging each shortcoming is.
Oregon’s Marcus Mariota and Ohio State’s Cardale Jones will undoubtably play a huge role in Monday’s national title game, but here are a few other potential game-changers.
2 Devin Smith Buckeyes wide receiver
Ohio State’s top deep threat averaged an NCAA-high 27.7 yards per catch and caught 12 TDs. He’s had a 40-yard grab in eight games this year.
7 Patriots: Keep Brady safe
The Ravens are a problematic matchup for the Patriots because they have pass rushers — in Elvis Dumervil, Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata — who can bother Tom Brady. The best way to disrupt the usually smooth operation of New England’s offense is to get pressure on Brady. 8 Seahawks: No WR threat
1 Royce Freeman Ducks running back
The freshman helps this offense avoid third-andlongs. He rushed for at least 98 yards in eight straight games before being held to 44 yards vs. Florida State.
The reining Super Bowl champion Seahawks have looked dominant down the stretch, but their one potential downfall is their lack of proven playmakers at receiver. Can an opponent get them into a downfield passing duel to take advantage of Seattle’s 27thranked passing offense?

Rick Ankiel played for the Nats from 2011 to mid-2012.
The Nationals announced their minor league staff Thursday but with an innovative and newly created position that brings former player Rick Ankiel back into the organization. Ankiel will serve as the Nationals’ minor league “life skills” coordinator, a mentorship role. JAMES WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Ankiel’s background Ankiel, 35, was once a Cardinals top pitching prospect, but he lost his ability to pitch and eventually resurrected his career as an outfielder. He played for the Nationals from 2011 to mid-2012.
Why create this job? The Nationals will still have a sports psychologist available, but Ankiel can be a less formal venting place. “Baseball is a game of failure,” Nationals assistant GM Doug Harris said. “Anything you can do to help players deal with failure helps the organization. Learning how to deal with those emotions, the highs and lows of the season, helps.”
What will Ankiel do? He may throw batting practice one day, but he isn’t expected to offer technical instruction. He may shag fly balls with players in the outfield, but only so he can chat with them. He will be in the clubhouse, but only so he can connect with the players.

10 contests, playing well against some of the league’s best will go a long way in re-establishing the Wizards as one of the teams to beat in the East. “This is a big week for us,” guard Bradley Beal said. “The whole month has been hectic for us. It’s definitely testing us mentally and seeing where we are at. We can really step up to the challenge by playing against all these playoff teams back-toback-to-back like this.” One area of concern for the Wizards has been their inability to finish games on a high note.

for granted, and that is more a mental thing that we have to get better at, than a physical thing,” coach Randy Wittman said. “It has got to be one of those things.” The Wizards entered Thursday
tied for fourth in the league in points allowed (97.3), and maintaining their defensive principles against three teams who average more than 100 points per night will be critical. “ W hen we don’t give up 100 points, we’re pretty much the best team in the league,” forward Paul Pierce said, referring to Washington’s 20-1 mark in that particular metric. “We can’t be a team that allows guys easy opportunities in the paint. We can’t be a team that turns the ball over more than we assist the ball.” The Wizards are fourth in the top-heavy Eastern Conference, but only three games out of the top spot, so the mission is simple. “We’ve got to get some wins now,” center Marcin Gortat said.

New tenants should bring up any must-haves or deal breakers with prospective landlords early on in their rental search, so both parties have time to discuss the issues. “It can look sneaky if the first time you’re bringing something up that’s incredibly important to you is when you’re signing the lease,” says Grace Langham, vice president of Nest DC (3634 Georgia Ave. NW No. 3; 202-540-8038, nest-dc.com),
have to give something in exchange, like a deposit,” says Dorene Haney, a D.C.-based attorney (202-759-4845, dhaneylaw .com) who focuses on landlordtenant and other housing issues. “It’s never a bad idea to ask, ‘What would it take for me to do this?’” When Huerta wanted a new oven and microwave for her current Dupont Circle apartment, she worked out an arrangement to split the cost with her landlord. “I first asked him to just replace them, and he said no,” she says. “So I kept making offers. Most people are willing to meet you at least halfway.”
Know what to ask
Know when to ask
If your landlord says no to a request, try meeting in the middle: Kerra Michele Huerta and her landlord split the cost for new appliances.
Lease start dates, rent prices, and things like pet or subletting approval tend to be areas where landlords are willing to negotiate if the prospective tenant seems to be an otherwise great fit. “I would say that nothing is impossible, but some things are always going to be easier to negotiate than others,” Borbely says. If you’re renting a condo, the condo association may have rules that are non-negotiable. So it’s always good to learn if your requests would even be possible.
Get everything in writing
Be ready for give and take
Regardless of how big or small the deal is, you need proof that you and your landlord have come to an agreement. So make sure that changes and additions are made — and that everything is initialed and properly included within the lease document. “That way, if there’s a problem later on, you don’t have to just say, ‘Well, someone told me it was OK,’” Haney says. “The written lease is what’s going to control things.” BETH LUBERECKI (FOR EXPRESS)
If you’ve found the perfect apartment but it won’t allow your pet Chihuahua, offer to do something on your end to help the landlord change his or her mind. “If you want a pet, you might

Get credit for your rent FINANCES One of the easiest ways to repair your credit history is to pay your bills on time. But the biggest bill in many households is often left out of the equation: the monthly rental payment. Most property managers don’t report rental payments to credit bureaus, partly because there is no national standard for how and when that information should be included, says Mike Doherty, head of the rental screening business for TransUnion, one of
the three major credit reporting bureaus. Now some in the industry are trying to change that. Experian has started including positive rental payments in its credit reports and TransUnion recently rolled out a tool that would make it easier for property managers to report payments to credit bureaus. Equifax says it doesn’t track rental payments and doesn’t have any programs in the works. Doherty recently spoke with The Washington Post about how including rental payments in credit reports could hurt or help a consumer’s chances of landing a new apartment or accessing new forms of credit — including mortgages.
How can rental payments affect a person’s credit score? When rental payments aren’t reported that actually hurts consumers. First-time mortgage holders on average had an increase in their credit score of 5 percent, which reflects that they are … making payments on that mortgage and getting credit for it. Most renters aren’t getting credit for their rental payments. In your analysis, who benefited most from reporting rent? It was a particularly positive impact on the subprime population. What happens with more prime consumers is they already have credit, they’re already making payments, so the impact on their
credit scores was less dramatic. The impact on the subprime group … is more noticeable and more dramatic.

Paying your landlord on time might help you get a mortgage

“Most property managers and landlords are not reporting this right now.” MIKE DOHERTY, head of the rental screening business for TransUnion, one of the three major credit reporting bureaus, on including rent in credit reports
What needs to happen to make it easier to report these payments? We want to make sure those who are reporting data to us are legitimate. So we go through a process to validate who is reporting. We’re out there talking to property managers to get them to come on board. But certainly consumers can influence their property managers to participate. Couldn’t this put some renters at a disadvantage? Certainly in the long run, [for] those who have historically bad payment performance without reason … that may be an outcome.

Investing in a new home?
NFL A former FBI director hired to look into how the NFL pursued evidence in the Ray Rice abuse case says the league should have investigated more thoroughly before it initially punished Rice. “The NFL should have done more with the information it had and should have taken additional steps to obtain all available information about the Feb. 15 incident,” Robert S. Mueller III said in a statement after releasing his report Wednesday. Mueller said he can find no evidence the league received surveillance footage showing Rice striking his fiancee in a casino elevator before the video was published online in September. The report said a review of phone records and emails of NFL employees showed no evidence that anyone in the league had seen the video before Commissioner Roger Goodell initially suspended Rice for two games. The league said it considered the video published by TMZ in September to be new evidence meriting an indefinite suspension. The report details some of the efforts the NFL made in obtaining the video, but said the league should have taken additional steps to find out what happened inside the elevator. (AP)

Nats’ Werth to rehab for 2-3 months
Maryland freshman point guard Melo Trimble leads the Terps in scoring, averaging 16.3 points per game.
Trimble on the attack Freshman point guard is among NCAA leaders in free-throw attempts
COLLEGE BASKETBALL Maryland freshman point guard Melo Trimble says the physical nature of college basketball forced the biggest adjustment he’s had to make since high school. And that was reinforced in the team’s first three games of Big Ten play. But Trimble, who was playing this time last year for Bishop O’Connell in Arlington, has countered physical play with his own aggressive approach. The 6-foot-3 guard isn’t afraid to take the ball to the basket. Entering Thursday, he had attempted the fifth-most free throws in the country and had the most makes, hitting 109 of
369
his 124 attempts (87.9 percent). And in the past three games, he’s 24 of 30 from the charity stripe. “I am using it as my game,” Trimble said of getting to the line. “I am just aggressive when I get the ball. And we are a good free-throw shooting team.” At nearly 75 percent, the Terps rank in the top 40 in the NCAA in free-throw shooting. The 11th-ranked Terps (14-2, 2-1) are coming off their first Big Ten loss, a 64-57 defeat at Illinois in which they were just 10-for-18 from the line. Maryland looks to bounce back Saturday at Purdue (10-6, 2-1). “It’s getting really physical,” Trimble said of the Big Ten. “We like the physical play because it makes us better and not laid-back.” The Terps are now at full force
as senior Dez Wells (13.9 points per game) has played in the past four games after missing the previous seven with a wrist injury. And he has watched Trimble mature over the past few weeks. “When he’s focused, he’s really good,” Wells said of Trimble. “We have a lot of confidence in him and his mind for the game.” Last weekend in a win over Minnesota, Trimble had a teamhigh 20 points and recorded his fifth game of the year with at least 13 free-throw attempts. He is averaging a team-best 16.3 points per game and also leads Maryland in assists (49) and steals (20). “He’s one of the best in the country and he’s made the most free throws,” Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said. “That kid is going to be a very, very good player.” DAVID DRIVER (FOR EXPRESS)

Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth will undergo surgery on his right shoulder Friday and will require two to three months of rehabilitation, a source confirmed Thursday. Werth dealt with inflammation in his AC joint in August, missing a week and needing a cortisone shot to relieve the pain. The AC joint affects range of motion and forced Werth to adjust his swing to avoid the pain. Nationals position players report to spring training on Feb. 24, which would be a little more than six weeks after the surgery. If Werth’s recovery requires closer to three months of rehab, he would be ready to return on April 8. The Nationals open their season at home on April 6. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Tragical mystery tour A goofy private eye exposes corruption, sorrow and lots of weird in ‘Inherent Vice’ FILM REVIEW “What’s up, Doc?” That’s just one of a few running gags that keep afloat the cockamamie, kaleidoscopic whodunit of “Inherent Vice.” It’s 1970, and the Doc in question is Larry “Doc” Sportello, a private eye living in a seedy California beach town. Doc (Joaquin Phoenix) navigates a tale whose characters, structure and tone — a balance between mournfulness and mayhem — feels as if it was crafted by Raymond Chandler while under contract at Loony Tunes. Based on Thomas Pynchon’s 2009 novel and written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, “Inherent Vice” unfolds so organically that, even at its most preposterous, viewers will find
themselves nodding along. As “Inherent Vice” opens, Doc is visited by his “ex-old lady” Shasta (Katherine Waterston), a lissome beach babe and the kept woman of a billionaire real estate developer. She needs Doc’s help on a case that will see him crossing paths with Los Angeles’ most rapacious business interests, a proudly civil rights-abusing police lieutenant, the Aryan Brotherhood, a coke-snorting dentist and a sax player for a surf rock band who may have faked his own death. The hunt that animates “Inherent Vice” is merely the scaffolding on which Pynchon and Anderson explore how the antimaterialist ideals and activist politics of the 1960s were

subverted and co-opted by the forces of social control and profit-driven enterprise. Anderson enlisted the best in the business to give pathos to characters whose off-the-wall pronouncements are nearly always suffused with unmistakable sorrow. Waterston delivers
an impressive breakout performance as Shasta, whose pull on Doc is palpable (especially in a bravura erotic set piece). Josh Brolin steals every scene he’s in as the straight-arrow Lt. Det. “Bigfoot” Bjornsen, who’s dismayed by the downward spiral of American values. The lone voice of wisdom belongs to Doc’s friend and the film’s narrator, Sortilege, played by Joanna Newsom. It’s her voice in his head that inspires him to perform the film’s climactic act of twisty comeuppance and simple kindness. Turnabout’s fair play in “Inherent Vice,” which is another way of saying that karma may not always be a beach, but it can sometimes be found there. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Predestination’ WARNER BROS. PICTURES
Doc (Joaquin Phoenix, left) and Lt. Det. “Bigfoot” Bjornsen (Josh Brolin) share some quality time.
R, 97 minutes
Though sci-fi aficionados may balk at “Predestination’s” convoluted timeline and series of twists, the film, directed by brothers Michael and Peter Spierig, proves to be thrilling entertainment for the rest of us. That’s not, however, for the reasons you might think, as the movie is surprisingly light on action. Ethan Hawke plays a “temporal agent” who zips back to the year 1970 to catch a notorious terrorist before his biggest massacre. Our nameless hero strikes up a conversation with a man named John, who ends up telling this stranger his life story. It turns out that John was actually born Jane: a tomboy who fell into a star-crossed romantic relationship with someone who plays a significant role in her gender-bending destiny. John (played by talented Australian up-and-comer Sarah Snook) has an entirely captivating history that is arguably the most rewarding aspect of the movie. Once “Predestination” shifts gears, sending the duo back to the 1960s, things get weird, and not always in a good way. By the time the final minutes roll around, the requisite big reveals are both bizarre and predictable, even if they don’t make complete sense at first (or ever). STEPHANIE MERRY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Jokes, booze and honors flow freely at the Globes AWARDS The folks behind the Golden Globes, airing live at 8 p.m. Sunday on NBC, say they won’t address the Sony hack during the show, but it’s fair game for hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. “They want the material to be as fresh as it can possibly be,” said 20-time Globes producer Barry Adelman. He expects Fey and Poehler to make tweaks to their jokes right up until show time. This will be the third year in a row Fey and Poehler have hosted the show, and they’ve said it will also be their final time. Last year, they helped boost the Globes’ ratings to their best in 10 years. “Birdman” leads film nominees this year with seven bids, including best picture (musical or comedy), best actor for Michael Keaton, and supporting actor nods for Emma Stone and Edward Norton. Other film front-runners include the coming-of-age story “Boyhood” and World War II drama “The Imitation Game,” which have five nominations each, including best picture (drama). On the television side, t he F X cr i me d ra ma “Fargo” has a leading five nominations, followed by HBO’s “True Detective” with four. Apart from the acti ng

ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL FILMS OF THE YEAR. “
A reminder of what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did for this country. David Oyelowo is magnificent. He reveals the King who is not in our history books — his humor, his human failings, and his self-doubt. Director Ava DuVernay brilliantly uses a micro event as a way into a larger, more compelling macro story. ‘Selma’ arrives with a raw-nerve urgency and timeliness that no one could have anticipated.”

I like writing my yearly list of top films, because I like lists in general. Once a week I list what’s for dinner that week, then I make a grocery list and a list of errands to run (some of which have lists of their own), plus I have my daily to-do list at work. I am not anti-list. Some of my best friends are lists. But I also don’t like writing my end-of-year list, because I think lists (and, by extension, awards, which are just lists dressed in designer gowns and tuxes) are ultimately pointless when it comes to engaging with film. For example, in my list last week, I chose “Whiplash” as the best film of 2014. But I gave it the top spot not necessarily because of anything it did, but because of my reaction to it. If we had a conversation about “Whiplash,” we could discuss the crafting of the film, but simply putting a No. 1 in front
of it doesn’t communicate anything beyond “I really liked this movie.” Also, lists and awards can be horrifically wrong. I can go on and on and ON about Oscar wins I took deep personal offense to (“Crash,” for God’s sake. “CRASH.”), but even that’s not really engaging with film in a substantive way. Looking back at my top 10 list for 2013 shows how pointless lists can be. They’re so often treated as gospel, titles on stone tablets, but one year later and I’m wondering how I could have been so stupid. I stand by “12 Years a Slave” and “Nebraska,” but the Saudi
Revisiting The Reelist’s top 10 of 2013: 1. “12 Years a Slave” 2. “Nebraska” 3. “Wadjda” 4. “Her” 5. “Much Ado About Nothing” 6. “No” 7. “Dallas Buyers Club” 8. “The Act of Killing” 9. “Stories We Tell” 10. “Fruitvale Station”
Arabian film “Wadjda,” which is great, is not actually better than “The Act of Killing,” which is brilliant. I still adore “Much Ado About Nothing,” but one of the top 10 films of 2013? No. And, because that year I ranked every film I saw, I can get even more embarrassed. I’ve seen “American Hustle” three times and by the third viewing I realized it was TERRIBLE. And I put it at 11! (I had only seen it once when I ranked it.) I had “Captain Phillips” at 20; after seeing it twice more, I realized it should be at least 10 spaces up. With “Hustle,” the plot was the most engaging thing, so knowing the end exposed the movie’s flaws. Contrast that with “Phillips,” which was just as gripping (and more nuanced, thanks to Tom Hanks’ performance and the nail-chewing conclusion) the third time as the first. Lists aren’t pointless. If mine gets more people to see “Whiplash,” then I’ve done part of my job. But my list isn’t the culmination of a year’s work — it’s a reduction of it into something that’s quick and easy to digest. Neat and tidy is great when it comes to groceries, but art deserves a little more than bullet points. Read Kristen Page-Kirby’s previous columns at washingtonpost.com/thereelist

Tyson to host NatGeo’s first late-night talk show The National Geographic Channel announced Wednesday that astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson will host the network’s first latenight talk show, starting in April. “Star Talk” will be based on his podcast, which mixes pop culture with science. The show will be taped before a studio audience at the American Museum of Natural History’s Hayden Planetarium in New York, the network said. (AP) AWARDS
‘Big Bang’ wins big at People’s Choice Awards “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” is a story of vampire (Sheila Vand, above) meets boy (Arash Marandi).
KINO LORBER INC.
FILM REVIEW The fear-mongering title of “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” conjures up images of predation that suggest the film will surely send shivers up your spine. It certainly does, but not for the reasons you might think. The titular beauty who drives the action of filmmaker Ana Lily Amirpour’s visually striking and surprisingly moving black-andwhite film is no helpless victim. Rather, the movie’s nameless, nocturnal protagonist (Sheila Vand) is a vampire. Written as a sort of darkly feminist avenging angel, Vand’s character is introduced in a scene in which she deals harshly with an abusive pimp/drug dealer (Dominic Rains) who has just thrown a prostitute (Mozhan Marno) out of his car — a car taken in payment from the family of an elderly junkie (Marshall Manesh) who can’t pay his heroin bill. Vand’s vampire isn’t as toothless as the Cullens of the “Twilight” series: She’s not above pouncing on a homeless person who has done nothing, just because she can (or because she must). “I’ve done bad things,” she tells Arash (Arash Marandi), a young man she meets as he’s coming home from a costume party … in a Dracula costume, no less. The scene that follows — in which she wheels him to

her house on a skateboard because he’s too high to walk, and then they simply listen to music — is simultaneously one of the
sweetest and sexiest interludes, without any actual sex, in recent film. The relationship between Arash and the bloodsucker lies at the heart of the film, but Amirpour is no Stephenie Meyer. The girl’s resistance to drinking Arash’s blood is told largely through silent, sidelong glances. Few words are spoken in this movie, yet it’s as eloquent a tale of love and sublimated lust as you’re likely to see. Shot near Bakersfield, Calif.,
but with dialogue entirely in Farsi, the film takes place in a fictional Iranian setting, identified as Bad City. It’s a town of damaged and dying people, with a culvert where the bodies keep piling up. In the midst of this desolate wasteland, two lonely people — if a vampire can be called a “person” — somehow find each other. It’s a haunting story of love between two misfits who shouldn’t be together. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
CASTING
Calling all lumbersexuals
Casting directors for “The Free State of Jones,” shooting in Louisiana this spring, have put out a call for actors who are willing to stop grooming themselves until production ends, according to the Jackson, Miss., Clarion-Ledger. In the movie, Matthew McConaughey plays Newton Knight, a farmer and soldier who led a band of Southern deserters against the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Military and horse-riding experience is a plus, the casting call notes. (EXPRESS)

Cosby gets applause, protesters at show Bill Cosby got a standing ovation from Canadian fans at his first show following sexual assault allegations from more than 15 women. Cosby’s show in Kitchener, Ontario, on Wednesday was his first since November, when at least 10 performances were canceled on his North American tour. The 2,000-seat venue was about two-thirds full. More than a dozen protesters outside carried signs saying “rape is no joke.” (AP)

EXPECTED RELEASE: Feb. 20
EXPECTED RELEASE: TBD
SUMMARY: When this political satire began
SUMMARY: The idea of the president of the United States, played by Samuel L. Jackson, and a boy camping together in the woods of Finland is not the prompt for a bad improv sketch, but the plot of a new thriller from director Jalmari Helander. Expect a lot of shouting from Jackson’s POTUS, who crashes in the forest after a failed terrorist attack on Air Force One. L.M.
production in 2008, it was a David O. Russell film called “Nailed.” But after money woes shut down the project, Russell walked. Now, the movie’s finally seeing the light of day. Jessica Biel stars as a waitress who’s shot in the head with a nail gun, then goes to D.C. to fight for health-care reform. LORI McCUE (EXPRESS)

blog log
“People from cold climates love to talk about what *real* cold is. … Tom Brady is no different. He knows exactly what to wear. He knows how to layer. He’s a machine. He’s a [bleeping] machine, baby.” MICHAEL KATZ AT SBNATION.COM is
amused by the Patriots quarterback’s response when asked how he dresses in the cold: “I’m a [expletive] machine, man, I’m a [expletive] machine!”
“I anticipated some ‘pedophilia!!!’ cries for this video. All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could play these two warring ‘sia’ self states.” @SIA apologizes on Twitter on Thursday to those who felt the
new music video for her track, “Elastic Heart,” was sexually suggestive. The video features 28-year-old actor Shia LaBeouf closely dancing in a cage with 12-year-old “Dance Moms” star Maddie Ziegler, who previously starred in the Swedish singer/ songwriter’s video for “Chandelier.”
“Now, they just need to work on the self-drying & self-adjusting jacket.” COMMENTER JOSEPH McGARRY AT MASHABLE.COM submits his choice for
what he hopes will be the next “Back to the Future” prop that gets invented. On Monday, Nike’s innovation chief, Tinker Hatfield, announced the company will release self-tying shoes, Nike Air MAG, this year. The shoes hark back to those worn in 1989’s “Back to the Future 2” by Marty McFly — which was set in 2015.
“It was like that for the whole experiment, wave after wave of men knocking into her with an elbow or a shoulder or a full-on body-check.” JESSICA ROY AT NYMAG.COM/THECUT
explains the many collisions during New Yorker Beth Breslaw’s Decemberlong “manslamming” experiment. The 25-year-old proved, to herself at least, that men are actually less likely to move out of the way for someone walking toward them than women.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may not have all the time you expected to have. You’ll be required to anticipate the actions of those around you more keenly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’re ready to make that certain sacrifice — but wait a moment! It may not be necessary when all is said and done. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may be surprised to learn that someone has been keeping tabs on you throughout the past week or so. What could be the reason? ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may not hear the things that you most wanted to hear, but what does come your way will give you a certain amount of satisfaction.
THURSDAY’S SOLUTION
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You
can show another the ropes, but take care you’re not taking the shortcuts that you would normally take. He or she isn’t ready yet.
THURSDAY’S SOLUTION
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You know what you need — and what a loved one needs — and you realize that those two separate needs may not be entirely compatible at this time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may be inspired by one who has forged ahead despite any danger. Take care, however! You don’t want to take too many risks at once.
FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The reviews are in, and your work is being recognized for its originality and scope. Perhaps this is the beginning of something new.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You
can adopt an easier approach that enables others to support you more willingly. There’s no need to take an aggressive stance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You can acquit yourself well even though the odds appear to be stacked against you. Appearances can be deceiving!

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

DRASTIC CHANGES
Normal folk rebound with bad haircuts
Taunting the pregnancy gods, are we? Jennifer Love Hewitt and husband Brian Hallisay are expecting their second child, Hewitt’s rep told Us Weekly. Their first child, Autumn, is 13 months old; the couple married right before her birth. Hewitt’s first pregnancy was easy, she told Us at the time: “Some women have really rough pregnancies. I’ve not had one. It’s been really nice and we have been enjoying it, so we feel really lucky.” (EXPRESS)
E! News reported that Mariah Carey has signed (“or is about to sign,” the website hedged) a residency deal with a Las Vegas resort. If nothing goes awry, she’ll likely be performing regularly in Sin City by the end of the year. The New York Post ID’d Caesars Palace as the resort in question. Sources told the Post her deal could be worth more than Britney Spears’ — nearly $30 million for two years at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino — but E! News’ sources scoffed, saying Carey’s paycheck will be “nowhere near” Spears’. In her nonprofessional life, Carey is in the midst of a divorce from Nick Cannon, with whom she has two children, Moroccan and Monroe. (EXPRESS)

Teresa Giudice, who entered Danbury Federal Correction Institute in Danbury, Conn., on Monday, has already earned an early release date, People magazine reported. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator lists her release date as Feb. 5, 2016 — so she’ll be locked up for 13, instead of 15, months. (EXPRESS)
Lily Tomlin and her partner and collaborator of 42 years, Jane Wagner, married in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve, Tomlin’s rep confirmed to People magazine on Tuesday. They met when Tomlin was looking for help developing the character of Edith Ann, an annoying child. Wagner wrote Tomlin’s one-woman show, “The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.” (EXPRESS)

CAREER ADVICE
‘Shut up and play wacky aunts and grandmas’ During a news conference Wednesday, Meryl Streep defended Russell Crowe’s comments on aging actresses, The Wrap reported. Crowe said 40-something women who complain about a lack of roles don’t get why they’re not being cast as ingenues. Streep said, “I agree. … It’s good to live within the place that you are.” (EXPRESS)
verbatim “He would have been the one. But I was 25, and I was stupid. He must have sent me Justin to make up for it all.”
