D.C. POLITICS

It really pays to be close to the mayor New salary data shows that top aides to Mayor Muriel Bowser are pulling in hefty salaries, some of them rivaling the $200,000 yearly mayoral salary. City Administrator Rashad Young is the best-compensated employee, earning the same $295,000 that his predecessor did. Chief of Staff John Falcicchio and Senior Adviser Beverly Perry are both making $198,500. The data shows salaries for top Bowser officials are generally in line with the pay earned by their Vincent Gray counterparts. Four years ago, however, Gray was criticized for paying some appointees a lot more than their predecessors had earned under Adrian Fenty. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

D.C. homelessness is on pace for a record year The surge is an early — and major — test for the new District mayor THE DISTRICT As D.C. workers and volunteers fanned out for an annual count of the city’s homeless late Wednesday, they found dozens bundled up in familiar spots and others never before recorded in doorways in sight of the U.S. Capitol. But city workers began the evening already knowing where most of the city’s homeless were: in D.C. shelters or motel rooms rented for them by the city. The total number of people in emergency care of D.C. surpassed 4,000 this week — easily on track to eclipse last year’s recordbreaking numbers of sheltered homeless. The number has grown by more than 1,500 over the past four weeks — and continues to expand daily, often with as many as 100 families or more seeking shelter when temperatures drop below freezing, advocates say. But these families are no closer to a long-term housing solution. Despite a budget surplus and more scrutiny than ever, the D.C. government has failed over the past year to make serious progress on one of its most vexing and visible social challenges. And now, the city is largely in a holding pattern as its new mayor, Muriel Bowser, charts a course forward. Once they are given shelter, families are almost always guaranteed a room for the remainder of winter. Over 660 families are

Md. official: I am keeping ‘open mind’ on Purple Line

Alpheus Mboyane, who sleeps in front of Union Station, was among the many homeless people counted and interviewed on Wednesday night.

Last year’s count During last year’s count, volunteers found a total of 11,946 people who were homeless in the D.C. region — an increase of 3.5 percent from a year earlier. But it wasn’t distributed evenly across D.C., Virginia and Maryland. D.C. recorded 883 more people than a year earlier, or an increase of 13 percent. The results of this year’s count won’t be released until April. (TWP)

now on city shelter rolls with two full months of winter remaining. At the current rate, the number of families in motels and shelter could top 900 by the end of March. Bowser won office last year promising a new approach. She said she would not repeat then Mayor Vincent Gray’s decision to close off access to motel rooms for

families at the end of January. Nor, she said, would she turn makeshift shelters in gymnasiums with little privacy or access to showers. When Bowser took office on Jan. 2, however, the city had already reached capacity at its main shelter. To demonstrate her commitment to a new approach, Bowser had little choice but to keep the program open to families, placing them in sought-after motel rooms until her fledgling administration could formulate a plan. The city is now renting over 400 rooms for the homeless each night, and at a higher and higher cost per room, records show. That has raised the real possibility that the city could burn through $19 million set aside for overflow homeless services for the year and compound a budget shortfall. A A RO N C .

AN ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT TO THE WASHINGTON POST

Education Report: Discover the Kogod School of Business

merican University believes its Kogod School of Business is a “gem” within a very competitive market of graduate business programs, and they believe that once prospective students see what Kogod has to offer, they’ll agree. On January 31, the School will host an open house for prospective graduate students. Discover Kogod will include an Admissions Overview, Academic Overviews of the Fulltime and Professional (Part-time) MBA programs, along with the seven Masters of Science programs Kogod offers. Throughout the day, Kogod faculty, graduate admissions representatives, and current students will be available to speak about the programs and answer any questions. The open house will be from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and lunch will be served. “Discover Kogod is an opportunity for us to offer a glimpse of who we are as a learning community,” says Jill Klein, Assistant Dean of Digital Initiatives and New Programs and Executive-in-Residence of Information Technology. “We want those attending to know that we’re not only serious about business education but also about making sure that every student is successful.” Kogod offers a number of graduate school options, including a Full-time MBA program, a Professional MBA, and MS degrees in Accounting, Analytics, Finance, Marketing, Real Estate, Sustainability Management, and Taxation.

The Full-time MBA program is 49 credits over 4 semesters and offers students not only classroom experience, but real-world projects, including an international perspective, and exposure to Washington, DC business leaders. Every week, students network with top business people through the exclusive Business Leadership in D.C. Luncheon Series. In addition, a Global Consulting Project teams students with peers at a partner institution to work on a hands-on project abroad. “This is a very experiential program,” says Wendy Boland, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs and Associate Professor of Marketing, explaining that through hands-on learning, Kogod’s faculty can help students find a career that they love and can excel at. MBA students can choose electives with a specialized consulting focus in areas such as strategy, IT, human capital, and finance. Or, they may select electives in 8 other academic concentrations, including accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, international business, information technology, sustainability management, marketing, or real estate. Meanwhile, Kogod’s Part-time, Professional MBA program is designed for the working student. The program allows students to take one class at a time, one night a week, and earn their MBA in 27 months. The Professional MBA is a 48-credit hour program that follows a cohort structure. The students are

divided into small groups to sharpen their team problem-solving skills and help optimize learning. At the start of each spring semester, students engage with their cohort in a weekend residency to develop their professional skills. Along with the core curriculum, students complete a required Global Residency, which is a week-long study abroad trip taken during their second year. The trip combines on-campus coursework with international travel, and includes meetings with business executives and experts. “Kogod offers an environment where both professors and students know each other and create a highly engaged community,” says Klein. “This is a supportive group of learners, and everyone has a vested interest in each other’s success.” “There are many graduate business schools,” adds Boland. “But if you walk through our doors, we will show you a unique place where you can learn, grow, and excel as a business professional.” To register for Discover Kogod, call 202-885-1913, email KogodGrad@american.edu or visit american.edu/kogod.

Netanyahu: Iran to blame for Hezbollah attack

Dartmouth College will prohibit all students, regardless of age, from drinking or possessing hard alcohol on campus in an effort to rid the school of what its president calls “extreme behaviors.” The plan — a major cultural transformation of the campus announced Thursday by Dartmouth President Philip J. Hanlon — culminates several months of soul-searching at the private Ivy League college in New Hampshire, a process akin to recent reviews at the University of Virginia and numerous other schools. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday blamed Iran for a deadly flare-up along the Lebanese border, the deadliest escalation there since the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel. The violence erupted Wednesday when Lebanese Hezbollah militants fired missiles at an Israeli military convoy, killing two soldiers and wounding seven. Israel responded with shelling. Tehran has yet to comment. (AP)

An unnamed Afghan official quoted by Reuters said Thursday that the three contractors were killed by an Afghan soldier. (TWP)

Big Candy is losing business to convenience Online shopping, curbside pickup and self-checkout aisles have made it quicker and easier than ever for Americans to buy the things they need. That’s a huge problem for the candy and chocolate industries, which have made billions over the years off waits at the register — and customers’ last-minute impulse buys. So to get Americans splurging again, Hershey Co. is investing heavily on technology they hope will re-inspire a sweet tooth that might expand both shoppers’ and the company’s bottom line. Among the ideas presented at a meeting of retail executives earlier this month: vending machines at gas stations and special dispensers at self-checkout registers that spit out chocolate bars on demand.

Safi al-Kassasbeh, father of a taken Jordanian pilot, weeps Wednesday.

Deadline passes for prisoner swap AMMAN, JORDAN The father of a Jordanian fighter pilot and the wife of a Japanese journalist held by the Islamic State group pleaded for their loved ones’ lives after a possible prisoner swap wasn’t carried out by a deadline of sunset Thursday. “I beg the Jordanian and Japanese governments to understand that the fates of both men are in their hands,” Rinko Jogo, wife of abducted journalist Kenji Goto, said. The extremists had demanded that Jordan release Sajida alRishawi, a female al-Qaeda prisoner, from death row, and they purportedly threatened in an audio message to kill the airman if she was not freed by the deadline. Al-Rishawi, 44, faces death by hanging for her role in a suicide

bombing in November 2005 that killed 60 people. After sundown in the Middle East, there was no word on the fate of Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh and Goto, and the families’ agonizing wait dragged on. “We have no clue about where the negotiations stand now,” said Jawdat al-Kaseasbeh, a brother of the pilot. “We are waiting, just waiting.” On Thursday afternoon, Jordan’s government spokesman, Mohammed al-Momani, signaled that a swap was on hold because the hostage-takers had not delivered proof the pilot is still alive. Any swap with the militants would set a precedent for dealing with the hostage-takers. The group has not publicly demanded prisoner releases before. KARIN LAUB AND MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH (AP)

Detroit’s plan to rebuild is slowed by squatters DETROIT Chris Mathews’ crew showed up this month to demolish one of the thousands of vacant homes destined for demolition as part of Detroit’s plan to bulldoze its way to prosperity when a call from his office stopped them in their tracks: Someone was living there. A woman who watched the crew tear away the home’s wooden steps the day before had called Adamo Demolition to point out that she was living on the second floor, despite no power, heat or gas and a flooded basement. “It was like a swimming pool,” Mathews said. “We would never have thought anybody was upstairs.” As Detroit carries out its plan to tear down tens of thousands

of homes to combat blight, it is forced to deal with an unknown number of squatters. Since the city doesn’t allow occupied properties to be demolished, police must be summoned to remove squatters, which can take weeks or months. That makes them a complication for the recovery of the city, which emerged in December from the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. Clearing away as many vacant houses as quickly as possible is a priority. Drug dealers often set up shop in them, and some houses have been sites of sexual assaults. But for some of the 16,000 homeless in Detroit, the structures offer safety and shelter. Michele McCray, 58, calls them “abandonminiums.” She has been

“Let me Google that for you,” is something that these smartphone users in Beijing are almost certainly not saying.

China’s ‘Great Firewall’ is now higher than ever TECHNOLOGY Google has been steadily strangled, and Gmail blocked more effectively than ever. Instagram recently went black. In the past few days, virtual private network (VPN) services, the tools that many people in China use to evade online censorship, came under renewed attack. Brick by virtual brick, China is building its “Great Firewall” steadily higher, experts say. It infuriates netizens, exasperates foreign business executives, and appears to contradict China’s pretensions to be a global superpower. “China’s long-term goal is to make the Internet act like an intranet, cutting off access to all encrypted sites, so that government bureaucrats can tap into

anything that anyone is saying, at any time,” said one foreign IT executive. Yet Chinese IT companies, behind the wall, are flourishing, and e-commerce is booming. Chinese companies including Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba have thrived, drawing in talent and taking their place as some of the world’s biggest Internet firms. As dissent is crushed, the policy’s success in consolidating Communist rule suggests that there will be no turning back. Hacking attacks have intensified, with users of Microsoft Outlook, Google, Yahoo and Apple all targeted in the past three months, said Charlie Smith of GreatFire.org, an organization dedicated to combating online

censorship in China. “The authorities now not only just target public information sharing (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) they target private communications as well (Gmail, Outlook, IMs, etc),” Smith, who uses a pseudonym for security reasons, wrote in an email. Last week’s attack on VPN providers provoked protests online, with netizens saying China had “lost the right to mock North Korea,” and complaining that President Xi Jinping sent his daughter to the United States for an education but blocked his people from accessing information. “Welcome to the West DPRK,” said a user, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

nation+world Remember that? Congress established the sequester through the Budget Control Act in 2011, mandating spending cuts that were projected to total $1.2 trillion and were scheduled to begin in 2013 and end in 2021. They were to be evenly divided over the nine-year period. (THE WASHINGTON POST) WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE SWITCH

Barack Obama’s budget proposal furthers ideas from his State of the Union address. The GOP didn’t like those either.

New budget would end sequestration Obama says it’s time to ease recession-era measures; Republicans disagree POLITICS President Barack Obama will ask Congress to boost government spending by roughly 7 percent above current limits, the White House said Thursday, setting up a certain clash with Republicans who insist that federal spending must be held in check. Obama’s budget, to be formally released Monday, will call for $74 billion more than the levels frozen in place by across-theboard cuts agreed to by both Democrats and Republicans and signed by Obama into law. The White House said his new budget

proposals will “fully reverse” the so-called sequestration on the domestic side, while raising military spending. Under Obama’s proposal, national security programs would see an increase of $38 billion over current spending limits, raising the defense budget to $561 billion. On the domestic side, Obama is calling for $530 billion in spending — an increase of $37 billion. “If Congress rejects my plan and refuses to undo these arbitrary cuts, it will threaten our economy and our military,” Obama warned in an op-ed article

Thursday in The Huffington Post. The proposal from the president, two months after voters booted his party from control of the Senate, reflects the White House’s newfound confidence in the economy. Obama’s aides believe that improving conditions give Obama credibility to push his spending priorities unabashedly — despite the fact that Republicans still believe government spends far too much. The president has been newly combative as he argues it’s time to ease the harsh measures that were taken to help pull the

economy out of recession. Obama was to promote his proposed spending levels to House Democrats at their annual retreat in Philadelphia on Thursday evening. The White House said his budget will be “fully paid for with cuts to inefficient spending programs and closing tax loopholes,” but taxpayers will have to wait until the budget is made public to find out exactly how. While the proposal to spend more on things like education, sick leave and health care was sure to delight many members of Obama’s own party, the Republicans now fully control Congress. “He is the most liberal, fiscally irresponsible president we’ve had in history,” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, told The Washington Post. “I don’t know why he doesn’t see it.” The president’s budget proposal is just that — a proposal — and will not become law. The budget frames Obama’s opening offer as Democrats and Republicans head toward an inevitable clash. It’s an agenda that Obama started selling in the run-up to his State of the Union address this month, and that House Democrats have sought to echo as they regroup after losing more members in the midterms.

SMALL BUSINESS

What’s next? No more lemonade stands? THINKSTOCK

We’ve heard horror stories of people who dial 911 from their cellphones. Dispatchers listen helplessly because they can’t get an accurate fix on the caller’s location. The problem? When you call from indoors, thick walls prevent your phone from talking to GPS satellites. On Thursday, federal regulators unanimously approved a plan to change that. Under new rules from the Federal Communications Commission, within a few years wireless carriers will have to provide 911 dispatchers with specific latitude-longitude coordinates for a wireless 911 caller that are accurate to within 164 feet. Or they’ll have to provide dispatchers with a caller’s specific address, down to the room number. Technologies like Wi-Fi hotspots can help narrow down a caller’s location substantially, and part of the solution will rely on those. The carriers will also have to add vertical coordinates to the information they give dispatchers. That information, gathered from air pressure sensors in phones, should help first-responders determine what floor to go to in a multistory building. As FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai said, the new information “tells first responders exactly which door they need to knock on, or in some cases kick in, during an emergency.” BRIAN FUNG

3 THINGS TO WATCH

GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

Don’t forget the game

SUPER BOWL PREVIEW | PATRIOTS VS. SEAHAWKS, 6:30 P.M. SUNDAY, NBC

Reflecting regimes RUSSELL WILSON, 26, HAS THE CHANCE TO WIN HIS SECOND SUPER BOWL in his third season as an NFL starter. Sound familiar? It should.

It’s almost become lost in all the hubbub about deflategate and Marshawn Lynch’s media strategy, but the game Sunday could be a classic. Here are some things to look out for. MICHAEL CUNNIFF (EXPRESS)

3 Seahawks’ start Seattle gained 6 yards on its first five possessions in the NFC championship game. The team won’t get away with a similar start Sunday.

Wilson’s quarterback counterpart on Sunday, Tom Brady, accomplished that feat as a 26-year-old 11 years ago. It’s not just the QBs

Patriots’ run game

that are similar, though. This Seahawks team is a mirror image of the Patriots group that had a dynasty in the early 2000s — winning

New England rushed for just 14 yards in the divisional round. A similarly impotent rushing attack will put too much pressure on Tom Brady against the Legion of Boom. Speaking of …

three Super Bowls in a four-year span. Here’s why. JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

League’s top defense

No dynamic WRs

How QBs’ stats align

Stick with the run

Coach redemption

Over the 2003 and 2004 seasons, when the Patriots won back-to-back titles, no team in the NFL allowed fewer points (498, or 15.6 per game). Over the past two seasons, Seattle led the league in scoring defense (485, or 15.2 per game). Even the personnel of the two units have similarities, with a shutdown corner (Ty Law/Richard Sherman), a smart and physical safety (Rodney Harrison/Earl Thomas) and a Pro Bowl middle linebacker (Tedy Bruschi/Bobby Wagner). Seattle led the league in interceptions in 2013 with 28, while New England had an NFL-high 29 picks in 2003.

When Brady and Randy Moss teamed up, records were broken. But when Brady was winning Super Bowls early in his career, he had to rely on more-pedestrian options. A different player led the Patriots in receiving yards in each of their Super Bowl-winning seasons (Troy Brown in 2001, Deion Branch in 2003 and David Givens in 2004). In each of the past three years, Seattle had a different player lead its team in receiving (Sidney Rice in 2012, Golden Tate in 2013 and Doug Baldwin in 2014). Each team decided it could win without having to devote much resources to the wide receiver position.

In their first three seasons as NFL starters, Wilson and Brady each made two Super Bowl appearances and have nearly identical regular-season and postseason stats.

With a dominant defense and a young QB — even if it is Brady or Wilson — why would you want a pass-first offense? In two of Brady’s three Super Bowl-winning seasons, he averaged fewer than 30 pass attempts per game. And even though the Patriots didn’t always have an elite running back, they finished in the top 12 in the league in rushing attempts in three of Brady’s first four years as a starter. For Seattle, Wilson is averaging 26.1 passes per game in his career. This year, 18 other QBs attempted more throws than Wilson. And the Seahawks have had a top-five rushing offense three straight seasons.

It’s hard to believe now, but Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll were each viewed as an NFL failure at one time. In Belichick’s first stint as an NFL coach, he went 36-44 with the Browns, making the playoffs once in five seasons. Carroll was fired after going 6-10 in his lone season with the Jets. A few years later, he was hired by the Patriots but lasted only three seasons, going 27-21 with two playoff appearances. As far as coaching styles go, there may not be two more dissimilar coaches in the NFL than Belichick and Carroll. But both have made the most of their second (or third) chances.

Not as long as Robert Kraft and Roger Goodell are still taking pictures at their respective homes. You talk about conflict of interest.”

Can you decipher what’s real and what’s not from the wild weeks leading up to the big game? 1. Tom Brady said his feelings were hurt while addressing the deflategate scandal. 2. The NFL warned the Seahawks that a Marshawn Lynch crotchgrabbing touchdown celebration in the Super Bowl would draw a 15-yard penalty. 3. “Beast Mode Sausage” — a Lynchinspired sausage with Skittles — has been such a hot seller at a butcher shop near Seattle that it has remained on the menu since last year’s Super Bowl.

Wall plans to see doctor for migraines Friday

John Wall played through migraines for the second straight night Wednesday in Phoenix, and he plans on seeing a doctor Friday. “It’s just been killing me, man, to be honest,” Wall said before the game. The Wizards point guard estimated the headaches began around two weeks earlier but worsened Monday afternoon in Los Angeles. He was listed as questionable Wednesday, though it was for a right ankle sprain and he insisted his status was never in doubt. He said he’ll play Saturday against the Raptors. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Lynch talks about why he doesn’t talk to media After two days of giving only scripted answers, Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch gave his most extensive comments of Super Bowl week. “I don’t know what story y’all trying to get out of me,” Lynch said Thursday. “But it don’t matter what y’all think, what y’all say about me because when I go home at night, the same people that I look in the face — my family that I love, that’s all that really matter to me. So y’all can go make up whatever y’all want to make up because I don’t say enough for y’all to go and put anything out on me.” (AP)

RGIII says last season ‘sucked’ Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III joined ESPN 980′s Chris Russell on Wednesday to talk about his foundation, recent changes to the coaching staff and the team’s dreadful 2014 season. Griffin said he can’t wait to work with new quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh and “add more knowledge to the bank.” He’s also looking forward to being fully healthy again. “Last year I wasn’t healthy, and it sucked, so there’s no other way to say it other than that,” Griffin said. “When you dislocate your ankle in the second week of the season, when you and your team have big things in mind. It’s just getting healthy, getting the mental break, getting a chance to spend time with family, and then formulate my plan going forward for this year and we can go out there and win games and be playing at this time next year.” THE WASHINGTON POST)

REDSKINS

Wizards center Marcin Gortat is averaging 12 points a game this year.

In Poland, Gortat is more than an athlete Wizards center is also a fan favorite in D.C. for his playful personality WIZARDS Ula Chincz, the spunky blond pint-sized host of Poland’s most popular morning show, waited in the media room at Verizon Center with her four-person crew one recent morning. She sported black high-top Nikes, shorts and a Wizards T-shirt she bought at a local Modell’s. It wasn’t exactly what she planned to wear for her interview with one of Poland’s most prominent athletes. “They were out of Marcin Gortat jerseys,” she lamented. The crew for “Dzien Dobry TVN” — Polish for “Good Morning TVN,” after the network that

broadcasts the show — was in the Washington area for a few assignments. They planned a report on a house in Alexandria with over-thetop Christmas lights, and another from Ben’s Chili Bowl because President Barack Obama likes eating there. But Gortat was first. Gortat has established himself as a Wizards fan favorite, a productive NBA center with a gregarious personality and a $60 million contract. He speaks his mind. He wears a mohawk. He calls himself the “Polish Machine.” His popularity prompted the Wizards to schedule a Gortat action figure giveaway to the first 19,000 fans at Saturday’s game against the Raptors, which is part of the reason why the team is selling standing-room tickets for the event for just the fourth

time this season. But in Poland, a nation of 38 million people, the spotlight is exponentially amplified. His career and life are tracked every day in the media. To Poland, he is more than just an athlete. He is the humble inspiration who picked up his sport late and happened to develop into the best basketball player the country has ever produced. Marcin Gortat is Polish basketball. “We are extremely proud of him,” said Dorota Malesa, one of the TVN crew members. “We love him because he’s from a not very rich family so he’s like a normal Polish guy that made the perfect international success story. It’s like an American dream came true.” JORGE CASTILLO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

growth among mid-quality, three-star apartments declined during the third quarter for the first time in 2014, while average rents in higher quality four- and five-star apartments have been dropping since the second quarter of 2013. Until now, the rent gap between the two sets of apartments had been narrowing. Average

rents for a three-star apartment in the Washington metropolitan area are $1,464 per month on average, compared to $1,944 per month at a four- or five-star building, a difference of roughly 28 percent. Ten years ago, however, that difference was even larger at about 39 percent. Why has the rent gap shrunk? Part of the reason is that a wave of new apartments hit the region in 2007, delivering about 11,400 new units, 120 percent more than the historical average number of units produced per year from 1983 to 2006. This new supply forced landlords at some four- and five-star

appreciates tidiness and needs personal space. “You have to be an extrovert,” Beasley says. Nor is it one for someone with “normal” hours. “Someone who has to get up early on a regular basis — people we call ‘day walkers’ — probably won’t work,” Beasley says. Their liberal hangout policy has led to some raucous nights, like the time a hammered pastry chef broke a bottle of kimchi bitters, unleashing a heinous smell. But living with like-minded colleagues has plenty of benefits for the trio: Having so many refined palates under one roof makes for fruitful recipe tasting. “We’ll go back and forth making legit cocktails, but the more we drink, the more we forget,” Hartley says. (That’s why they keep a recipe log.) Also, the networking opportunities are endless. “As we start to branch out and start our own bars and businesses, it will work out to all of our advantages to have a tight inner circle where we can market ourselves,” Beasley says. Having easy-to-access friends is another perk. “People who work a 9-5 go out on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights,” Spangler says. “And when do we work? Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. It’s nice to have people around who you like and share the same schedule with.” HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

Party house rules for roommates Thinking of living with a few of your hard-partying friends? Roommates Chad Spangler, Glendon Hartley and Jaclyn Beasley suggest putting measures in place to keep things courteous and balanced. H.S. INSTITUTE A CLEAN-UP TIME LIMIT, like the 48-hour policy the

trio practices at their house. “You made five different syrups with cloves and pink peppercorns? That’s awesome,” Beasley says. “But it’s been two days, so pick it up and sweep the floor.” MAKE IT KNOWN TO YOUR ROOMMATES IF YOU HAVE AN EARLY MORNING so they don’t plan on a boisterous night. The crew finds that group-texting is the best form of communication. BE SURE TO PLAN NON-DRINKING ACTIVITIES to strengthen bonds

buildings to reduce rents in order to fill their units. As a result, rent growth dipped into the red briefly in 2008, and then again for most of 2009. The Great Recession also had an impact, as some former four- and five-star renters moved to older, cheaper three-star buildings to save money. This increased demand for three-star units, allowing landlords there to continue raising prices. In recent years, the effective rental growth rates of three-star and four- and five-star buildings have diverged even further. Just as in 2007, this is largely a result of the recent construction boom in the Washington area. An

unprecedented number of new apartment units (about 24,000) have arrived in the area in the past two years, increasing the total apartment inventory by roughly 5 percent. That new supply cut rents for four- and five-star apartments even further, even as rents at three-start apartments continued to outperform. But the narrowing may be slowing as the wave of supply takes its toll on three-star rents as well, working in renters’ favor. MAEVE GALLAGHER (FOR CAPITAL BUSINESS)

NFL: Concussions down in ’14 NFL The rate of concussions among NFL players fell 25 percent this season, according to the league, even as injury reporting and trips to the injured reserve list rose overall. Data provided to The Associated Press by the NFL ahead of its annual pre-Super Bowl health and safety news conference Thursday shows there were 111 concussions in games during the 2014 regular season, down from 148 in 2013, and 173 in 2012, a 36 percent drop over that three-year span. When preseason games, plus preseason and regular-season practices, are included, concussions this season declined to 202, down 12 percent from 2013, and 23 percent from 2012. That’s despite no new rules meant to

concussion in the NFL, by those numbers.” According to STATS, there were 265 players placed on injured reserve during the regular season in 2014, a 17 percent jump from the 226 the year before. This season, for the first time, NFL injury data was collected by all 32 teams through electronic medical records, allowing

for more comprehensive accounting. That system does a better job of capturing all injuries — from a bruise, say, to a broken leg — according to Christina Mack, an epidemiologist at Quintiles, a clinical research organization that works with the league. One change is that less-severe injuries, such as a first-degree sprain, are captured more frequently now, she said. Something worse, such as a concussion or torn knee ligament, is just as likely to have been reported under the old setup. A 15 percent hike in injury reporting from 2013 to 2014 is at least in part due to the new system, according to Mack. “We knew it was going to be up this year, because we transitioned to the electronic medical records,” Mack said in a telephone interview. “We can’t conclude the incidence of injuries is up. We know the reporting of injuries is up.” HOWARD FENDRICH (AP)

‘Winter Sleep’

Rob Corddry stars in “Black Sea” as a submar— wait, what? That’s Jude Law?! Are you sure?

KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY | THE REELIST

The old man and ‘Black Sea’: Law embracing his age Jude Law — at least judging by the way he looks in “Black Sea” — is not aging well. He’s balding. His face is lined, and not in that crinkly-crow’sfeet kind of way, but in that maybe-SPF-would-have-beena-good-idea-in-your-youth kind of way. He didn’t look that great in 2013’s little-seen but very good “Dom Hemingway,” either (though a lot of that uglification was achieved through makeup). In 2012’s “Anna Karenina” he didn’t play the heartthrob, but instead the slightly dowdy husband. I don’t say this to be mean or gripe that a golden boy has lost

his shine. Actually, I think the fact that Law, 42, is allowing himself to get older — maybe even embracing that he’s getting older — is giving him a freedom he never got in his previous incarnations. Law has twice (in “Gattaca” and “A.I. Artificial Intelligence”) played characters who were literally engineered to be handsome, the former genetically and the latter robotically. The defining characteristic of his roles in “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” and “Alfie” was they were hot. In “The Aviator” he played Errol Flynn, which amazingly did not create some sort of metahandsome rip in the time-space

continuum. Other parts didn’t require good looks —“Cold Mountain,” for example — but for a long time, even though he was clearly talented (he’s been nominated for two Oscars, for “Cold Mountain” and “Ripley”), he was known for being gorgeous first and an actor second. He could have stayed in that very safe, very profitable box; his impossible bone structure is still there even if his hair is not, and Botox and toupees

‘Black Sea’ (R) DIRECTOR: Kevin Macdonald STARS: Jude Law, Scoot McNairy

and Ben Mendelsohn IN A NUTSHELL: A crew of seamen search for a long-lost sunken German U-boat filled with gold. QUICK TAKE: Law mostly convinces, exuding an intensity that is, like used motor oil, hot, gritty and efficient. Director Macdonald ensures the film’s visuals match its worn-down lead. The film’s patina of richly textured grime lends the film a gloomy beauty. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

have come a long way. As his impossible beauty has faded, though, his career has gotten much more interesting. Captain Robinson, his character in “Black Sea,” could not have been played by yesterday’s Law, or even today’s George Clooney; a handsome man does not belong on that submarine. Of course, Law is lucky to be a man. Beautiful actresses who play ugly characters usually only do so through the magic of makeup, a way of reassuring audiences that it’s OK, Charlize Theron doesn’t really look like that; don’t worry, that’s not Nicole Kidman’s real nose. But Law is taking a chance by coming down from hottie heaven to linger among the normal, and that gamble is paying off with better roles and better performances in more interesting movies. Now that audiences aren’t as blinded by perfection, we can see there’s more there than we ever thought. Read Kristen Page-Kirby’s previous columns at washingtonpost.com/thereelist

When a boy throws a rock through Aydin’s car window, a series of encounters begin to rattle the aging bohemian’s deeply held moral code. Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s film serves not only as an escape into another world, but also a compelling dive into human frailty. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“THE BEST FILM OF THE YEAR!” -Todd McCarthy, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

LEVIATHAN

FOCUS FEATURES

FILM “Steal from the rich and distribute the proceeds equally among the crew of a decrepit Soviet-era submarine” doesn’t have that Robin Hood ring to it. In “Black Sea,” though, Captain Robinson isn’t too concerned about being noble. “I don’t think he has such a broad perception of the world,” says Jude Law, who plays Robinson. “He just sees what’s in front of him. He’s not a revolutionary or an idealist.” Robinson and his men head to the bottom of the Georgian waters to recover Nazi gold that’s been on the seabed since World War II. Half the men are Russians (they pilot the sub); half are Brits (they’re the divers who will retrieve the riches). There’s also an American businessman, who notes that, when the guys start to do the math, they’ll realize that fewer men equals more cash for themselves. Not all are into the equal pay thing. Some of the crew members have more experience and some, like the divers, have riskier jobs than, say, the guy manning the radar. Robinson sticks to his guns. “For him,” Law says, “the mission is as much about winning back a sense of equality and

Robinson’s surprised, Law says, that his “all for one, lots for all” system didn’t work. “[His personal] dilemma is his belief in his system, in them as men, and in himself as a leader,” he says. “The other interesting thing about it, being on a sub, you can’t start throwing blame around. He needs everyone on that boat.” Though it includes some action, “Black Sea” isn’t quite a heist film or a thriller. This transcending of genre is what drew Law to the movie. “The script was about desperate men taking desperate measures,” he says. “That was at the heart of the film: what lengths we go to on this planet to survive.”

This grandpa’s not all bad FILM Elliot Anderson, Kevin Costner’s character in “Black or White,” is kind of a jerk, but the actor is willing to cut him some slack. After all, Elliot is having the toughest day he could imagine. When the film opens, Elliot’s wife has been killed in a car accident. They — well, she — had been raising their granddaughter Eloise (Jillian Estell), and now Elliot is facing the prospect of a life raising a little girl without his partner to help. “One day he has a wife, and the next day he doesn’t,” Costner says. “Three days later, [he’s] at a wake, then somebody says, ‘What are you going to do with [Eloise]?’ It’s not like he’s ever had to think about what he’s going to do with her.” Eloise’s other grandmother, Rowena (Octavia Spencer), shows up and starts talking shared custody. And that seems like a good idea, since Elliot drinks too much and clearly has had very little hands-on interaction with his granddaughter. “I’m not afraid of coming off as unflattering,” says Costner, who co-produced “Black or White” during a busy 2014 that included starring roles in three other major films. “That [Elliot] is flawed makes him infinitely more interesting.” Adding to the complications

THE JULIANA HATFIELD THREE ‘BECOME WHAT YOU ARE’ 21ST ANNIVERSARY TOUR

Octavia Spencer, Kevin Costner and Jillian Estell, from left, play relatives in a custody battle in “Black or White.”

‘Black or White’ (PG-13) DIRECTOR: Mike Binder STARS: Kevin Costner, Octavia Spencer, Anthony Mackie and Jillian Estell IN A NUTSHELL: A girl is caught in a custody battle between two loving

families, who are forced to confront their feelings about race and forgiveness. QUICK TAKE: The performances are fantastic across the board, with Costner

acting in his trademark naturalistic style and Spencer as the picture of no-nonsense maternal love. But their efforts can’t make up for overly simplified characters and overwrought writing. STEPHANIE MERRY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

are the racial and class divisions between the rich, white Elliot and the working-class, AfricanAmerican Rowena. Elliot insists that race plays no part in his desire to keep his granddaughter and gets offended at the mere

suggestion that it might. That defensiveness, Costner says, is one of the byproducts of Elliot’s grief. “If you’re not prepared to have a conversation, you become defensive right away,” he says.

“He’s dealing with the grief and suddenly it’s ‘we want to share custody’ and he’s like ‘whoa, whoa, whoa.’ That’s something he might have been more amenable to had it not been just so forced on him.” Once Elliot gets his dukes up, he has trouble putting them back down, no matter how bad it makes him look or how much it takes his attention away from Eloise. In Elliot’s mind, “there’s no time for compassion,” Costner says. “You’re just fighting back. Your head’s been pushed underwater, and you’ve got to get it back up again. That doesn’t always lend itself to thinking.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

FILM REVIEW Canadian director Xavier Dolan — who at 25 already has made five movies — may not always demonstrate exacting discipline or storytelling rigor in “Mommy,” his dysfunctional family drama. But for pure expressive energy, he presents an inspiring vision of what films could be if their creators would unclench a little bit and let their flags fly a little looser, higher and freer. Dolan also proves how important great casting can be. It’s early days yet, but Anne Dorval delivers one of the young year’s bravest performances as Diane “Die” Despres, the funny, sexy, explosively temperamental single mother of a troubled teenage son named Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon). As “Mommy” opens, Die is on her way to fetch Steve from a juvenile detention facility, which he’s being kicked out of for misbehavior. What ensues is a vivid, sometimes unsettling

portrait of their highly charged relationship, which skates perilously close to a doomed romance between two immature, damaged but deeply loving souls. Although Dolan injects whiffs of incestuous desire here and there, he mostly focuses on the dramatically pitched dynamics between mother and son, who can be seen swearing, fighting, partying and embracing in ways that constantly blur the line between parent and child. The widowed Diane, a book translator living in the Montreal suburbs, has clearly set few boundaries for Steve, who has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. What might have worked for her before, however, is not working so well now, as

‘Mommy’ (R) DIRECTOR: Xavier Dolan STARS: Anne Dorval, AntoineOlivier Pilon IN A NUTSHELL: A portrait of the struggling relationship between a widowed mother and her troubled teenage son.

Steve’s mood swings have become exponentially more violent and frightening. Dolan has filmed “Mommy” in 1:1 aspect ratio, which means the frame is a perfect square, giving Die and Steve’s crowded house an even more cramped, claustrophobic feel, and suggesting that viewers are observing their chaotic life together through a keyhole. When they befriend a shy neighbor named Kyla (Suzanne Clement), some predictable complications and competitions ensue; unlike Die and Steve, who veritably leap off the screen as irrepressible, fully rounded characters, Kyla remains strangely recessive, her background never explained and her role going curiously unexploited. Still, the volatile, unbridled emotion of “Mommy” — its sheer life force — makes up for its structural weaknesses, giving viewers an often breathtaking glimpse of a director who, like his own adamantly unconventional protagonists, is fairly bursting at the seams with spiky, headstrong brio.

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.

‘There are 40 hours in a day, right?’

Otherwise its name would just be ‘Butter’ In a Facebook post this week, Paula Deen shared photos of her new goldendoodle puppy, and asked fans to help her name him. “I need y’all’s help!” she implored. Deen posted a poll with voters’ choices: Max, Beau and Rex. Deen is already mother to a goldendoodle named Gus. By Thursday evening, more than 106,000 of Deen’s fans had “liked” the post.

Lindsay Lohan can’t seem to put her reckless driving charge from 2012 behind her. Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, was in a Santa Monica, Calif., court Wednesday to submit proof that her client had completed required community service hours stemming from the conviction, People magazine reported. But a lawyer for the city demanded an investigation into whether Lohan really put in the hours. Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White said the claim that Lohan completed 80 community service hours in nine days was particularly suspect. “If this was Lindsey Smith, nobody would allow this,” White said, according to The Associated Press.
