Bus startup Bridj to make its way to Washington
SOURCE: “COMPARATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, CANNABIS AND OTHER ILLICIT DRUGS USING THE MARGIN OF EXPOSURE APPROACH”
with pot use mostly involve mental health issues, and most increase the earlier you start. That said, there are risks associated with anything you put in your body. Eat too much sugar and you’re on the fast track to diabetes. Take in too much salt and odds of a stroke increase. What is unique is how these substances are treated under the law. Given the relative risks associated with marijuana and alcohol, the authors recommend “risk
management prioritization towards alcohol and tobacco rather than illicit drugs.” And they say that when it comes to marijuana, the low amounts of risk “suggest a strict legal regulatory approach.” In other words, people up in arms over marijuana legalization could have a greater effect on the health and well-being of this country by shifting their attention to alcohol and cigarettes. CHRISTOPHER INGRAHAM (THE WASHINGTON POST)
BRIDJ
DRUGS Pot smokers have something else to celebrate — besides getting the green light to light up legally in D.C. — in the form of new research. Compared with other recreational drugs, including alcohol, marijuana may be even safer than previously thought. Researchers, whose findings were published in the journal Scientific Reports, sought to quantify the risk of death associated with the use of a variety of commonly used substances. They found that at the level of individual use, alcohol was the deadliest substance, followed by heroin and cocaine. And all the way at the bottom of the list? Weed — roughly 114 times less deadly than booze, according to the authors, who compared lethal doses of a given substance with the amount that a typical person uses. Marijuana is also the only drug studied that posed a low mortality risk to its users. It’s important to note that “safer than alcohol” doesn’t mean “safe, full stop.” Risks associated

Metro haters may soon be able to ditch the SmarTrip in favor of this private bus service.
Commuters in the area may have another transit option this spring when Bridj launches in D.C. The Boston startup offers point-topoint bus service in private shuttles that have Wi-Fi. Fares should cost slightly more than the typical Metro fare, but are unlikely to exceed $5, which is the maximum rate in Boston. The startup is encouraging interested customers to request specific routes on its website. They say it has cut some Boston commute times on public transit in half. (TWP)

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, center, announces that Initiative 71 would become legal at 12:01 on Thursday.
Despite GOP threats, Bowser says pot is legal Advocates hope it will help blaze the path for legalization elsewhere THE DISTRICT As Thursday dawns on the nation’s capital, marijuana will be a legal intoxicant. At least for now, D.C. — for once in its decadeslong struggle for the right to govern itself — has gotten its way. Despite a last-hours intervention by the Republican chairman of the House committee that handles D.C. affairs, Mayor Muriel Bowser and D.C. Council members said Wednesday they would not back down from implementing the will of the city’s voters. For advocates of legalization, the idea that weed could be legal in D.C. is a breakthrough that will accelerate a similar embrace of the plant in much of the nation. At least five states are moving toward legalization votes next year. “If Washington, D.C., can legalize marijuana and the sky doesn’t fall, things will get a lot easier in these other states,” said Keith Stroup, legal counsel at NORML, the marijuana advocacy group.

“Bullying the District of Columbia is not what his constituents expect, nor do ours.” MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER, referring to a letter from Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican who chairs the House Oversight Committee, warning her of dire consequences
The big change here actually took place in July, when D.C. decriminalized possession of small amounts of pot, meaning that someone caught with a joint faced a ticket rather than an arrest. Since then, both D.C. police and their federal counterparts have essentially stopped going after people who have marijuana for personal use. Arrest data from the U.S. Attorney’s Office found that marijuana arrests in D.C. dropped from more than 15 per day to just over one per day. Although arrests had already plummeted, legalization
is nonetheless a pivotal moment for both the nation and the city. Recreational marijuana is already legal in Colorado, Washington state, and, since Tuesday, Alaska, but Congress’ decision to do nothing about the D.C. law during the 30-day review period marks a significant turning point. “A certain number of Republicans in Congress wanted to block [the measure],” said Michael Collins, of the Drug Policy Alliance. “But the party’s leaders don’t want Republicans to become known as the anti-marijuana party.” A threat from congressmen seemed only to bolster the new mayor’s resolve. Rep. Jason Chaffetz warned Bowser to halt legalization. “You can go to prison for this,” he told the Post. But Bowser made clear she is keenly aware of her authority and intends to use it. “I am the duly elected mayor of the District of Columbia,” she said upon taking the stage at a news conference where she announced that the city would “implement and enforce” the law as passed by voters.

Washington’s interim fire chief Eugene Jones said Wednesday that the fire department has beefed up its training in response to a fatal accident on the Metro subway last month. In the past year, only 100 of the city’s 1,700 firefighters had been trained on how to handle Metro incidents. That’s a far lower training rate than in suburban jurisdictions. Jones said the frequency of training has increased and he’s projecting that every firefighter will be trained within the next 2 ½ months. (AP) FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA.

Senate GOP yields on immigration Bill to fund Department of Homeland Security clears critical hurdle POLITICS Days before a partial Homeland Security shutdown, lawmakers cleared the way Wednesday for Senate passage of legislation to fund the agency without immigration-related provisions opposed by President Barack Obama. Approval in the Senate would send the issue to the House, where some conservatives derided the plan as a surrender to the White House. Other Republicans predicted it would clear, but Speaker John Boehner declined to say if he would put it to a vote. Increasi ngly, though, it
appeared the only alternative to House acceptance of the Senate measure — or perhaps a shortterm funding bill — was the partial shutdown of a federal department with major anti-terrorism responsibilities — and the likelihood the GOP would shoulder whatever political blame resulted. The first of several votes the Senate took that could be required to pass the stand-alone spending bill passed 98-2, reflecting a sentiment that it was time to bring the current episode to a close. Across the Capitol, House Republicans met to discuss the Senate measure as Boehner marked time, and lawmakers were told to be prepared to spend the weekend in the Capitol to resolve the issue.

A message from Metro Interim General Manager Jack Requa I know that riders face difficulties on the Metro system during the extreme cold we’re experiencing, so I thank you for your continued ridership as we work every day to make your ride as smooth as possible. I also want to update you on the actions we are taking at Metro to improve the safety of our system. Since the January 12th incident at L’Enfant Plaza, we have started installing new signage on all railcars to help first responders identify emergency doors and get inside to passengers as quickly as possible. Metro train operators can now operate the air intake systems on their railcars without waiting for direction, and employees at our Rail Operations Control Center have received new instructions on emergency procedures. An independent, top-to-bottom review of the Control Center will be conducted soon to ensure we are working as efficiently and effectively as possible. To better prepare local first responders for incidents in the Metro system, our Office of Emergency Management has quadrupled the number of fullscale emergency drills scheduled for the next three years. These drills give emergency responders opportunities to test their capabilities and work together in a real-life setting. Metro is also working with the region’s fire chiefs to establish formal procedures for testing their radios and reporting problems back to us. We have proposed a new electronic reporting method that will allow for a prompt response to any radio concerns. Metro conducted a system-wide inspection of all tunnel fan shafts following the January incident and found them to be in good working condition. We have provided training on tunnel fan operations to all 39 controllers at our Rail Operations Control Center, and we are now in the process of developing additional instructions and training that are responsive to the initial recommendations made by the National Transportation Safety Board. I also want riders to know that the software in the Control Center that allows for remote operation of ventilation fans is working properly. We know this is only the beginning. We are committed to seeing this process through and keeping our riders updated every step of the way as we continue to improve and strengthen the safety of our system. We are not waiting for the National Transportation Safety Board’s final report on the incident, but acting in coordination with them to implement their early recommendations and make improvements we identify on our own. Your safety remains our number one focus.

We’re saving these seats New posters inside Metro trains and buses remind riders to be courteous by keeping priority seats available for people who may need them. The ads stress the importance of making priority seats available upon request without challenging the person asking. Metro’s Accessibility Advisory Committee helped create this message to raise awareness of disabilities that may not be visible to fellow riders. Priority seating is located near the center doors of each Metrorail car and near the front door of Metrobuses.
New displays provide real-time arrival info for Metrobus riders Waiting for Metrobus just got easier with new real-time arrival displays being installed at many of Metrobus’ busiest stops.

Our goal is to have all 169 new displays in place before spring. Signs provide real-time arrivals, future scheduled trip times (if the route is not currently running) and MetroAlert information.

What’s the big deal? It proves that computers can teach themselves tasks, learning through trial and error, just like humans.

Official: Avalanches kill at least 124 people
Eddie Ray Routh, pictured Tuesday in court in Stephenville, Texas, was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
‘Sniper’ jurors: Shooter knew right from wrong STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS Jurors who rejected an insanity defense and convicted a former Marine in the deaths of famed “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle and his friend said Wednesday that the man’s past behavior undermined his argument that he couldn’t tell right from wrong. After a two-week trial in which jurors heard testimony about defendant Eddie Ray Routh’s erratic behavior, including statements about anarchy, the apocalypse and pig-human hybrids, they convicted him Tuesday night in the deaths of Kyle and Chad Littlefield at a Texas shooting range two years ago. Juror Christina Yeager told ABC’s “Good Morning America”
that Routh displayed a similar pattern in prior run-ins with police — he would become intoxicated and then tell responding officers he was a victim of posttraumatic stress disorder. “Every time something bad happened he pulled that card,” Yeager said. Barrett Hutchinson said jurors were not convinced by the claim that Routh was having a psychotic episode when he shot the men. “He knew the consequences of pulling the trigger,” Hutchinson said. Routh showed no reaction as a judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole, an automatic sentence since prosecutors didn’t seek the death penalty in the capital murder case. Defense
A warning Marcus Luttrell, a veteran Navy SEAL who was friends with Chris Kyle, shared a warning on social media Tuesday night after the guilty verdict was announced. In a post on Facebook and Twitter, Luttrell said justice was served and warned Eddie Ray Routh to “Wait till the boys in [the Texas Department of Criminal Justice] find out you killed a TX hero.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Islamic State loots Syrian art for profit LONDON Almost 100 Syrian artifacts looted by the Islamic State have been smuggled into Britain and sold to raise money for the extremist group’s activities, art crime experts and archaeologists have warned, according to British news organizations. The items, allegedly being sold in London, include gold and silver Byzantine coins as well as Roman pottery, the Times newspaper reported Wednesday. “I get approached all the time about looted artifacts, whether it’s directly from someone who’s
trying to sell it or images that were sent to somebody who has offered to buy it,” Christopher Marinello, director of Art Recovery International, told the Times. His group specializes in the identification and recovery of stolen and disputed art. Marinello said the more valuable the item, the more scrutiny there will be, so collectors tended to shy away from more valuable items. He said the trade then tended to be in “middle-value objects that don’t stand out.” The smuggling is thought to take place via Turkey, Jordan

BBC’s Radio 4 also took David Gill, professor of archaeological heritage at University Campus Suffolk, to unnamed London galleries to find out whether he could spot any looted artifacts. “We went into one gallery and were chatting about a piece and the person quite openly said, ‘We just got this out of Syria,’ and we sort of looked at each other and said that’s really quite interesting,” the archaeologist told Radio 4. He added: “So it’s quite open in that sense.” DANIELA DEANE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Researchers say gay, lesbian and transgender youth in New York tend to meet near Christopher and West streets.
LGBT study examines ‘survival sex’ business A federally funded study offers a detailed look at the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth in New York City who cope with homelessness and poverty by engaging in what the researchers call “survival sex.” Here’s a look at what the Urban Institute found. DAVID CRARY (AP) The subjects
Sex sells …
… but at what cost?
How to fix things
In interviews conducted by the Urban Institute, 283 young people — mostly minorities between 15 and 21 years old — spoke about family rejection, establishing support networks with their peers, and learning to subsist on earnings from sexual encounters. Complaints of violence were common, inflicted by relatives, clients, peers, law enforcement officers and others.
On average, the youths saw three to six customers each day or night during periods when they were engaging in sexual transactions, according to the study. The prices that they reported charging per encounter ranged from about $90 to $230. Many of the youths said they had some means of protecting themselves physically when trading sex — knives and Mace were the preferred accessories.
Around 90 percent of the youths spoke of things they disliked about the sex trade — saying their work made them feel frustrated, dirty or endangered. Only 7 percent of respondents said they had no desire to stop engaging in the activity. Still, more than 80 percent said there were positive aspects. “It’s not as bad as sleeping under the bridge, it’s not as bad as going without food,” one respondent said.
The report offered several recommendations for steps that might encourage such young people to disengage from the sex trade, including new programs that would offer safe housing, appropriate health care, and a pathway to job opportunities. Any such services would be most effective if designed with the particular needs of LGBT youth in mind, the report said.

The planned city of Rawabi on the West Bank has no residents yet.
$1B buys a city, but not running water RAWABI, WEST BANK The billion-dollar, five-year gamble to build a new middleclass Palestinian city on a West Bank mountaintop was just about to welcome its first residents when the Israeli government decided this month to withhold a basic necessity: running water. Before granting water access to the planned city of Rawabi, Israel — which controls the area that the water pipe would run through — wants Palestinian Authority officials to return to an IsraeliPalestinian Joint Water Committee. The Palestinians abandoned the group in 2010 because they don’t want to approve water projects to Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. Finished apartments remain
vacant, and a 12,000-seat Romanesque amphitheater sits empty; a downsized construction crew works on a slashed budget. The water holdup is a high-profile setback for the biggest and, some say, most hopeful development project in the West Bank. Thousands of visitors — including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry — have visited over the years to see each phase unveiled for what Time magazine called “a shining city on a hill.” Criticism is now coming from both Palestinians and Israelis. “There is no way to explain why Israel is withholding water,” said an opinion piece in Israel’s largest-circulation daily newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth.

He’s not backing down Why is the Bill O’Reilly story still in the news? Because Bill O’Reilly likely wants it that way.
Boo-hoo, poor revenge-porn businessman JEFF CHRISTENSEN (AP)
MEDIA Bill O’Reilly and Fox News seem to have decided that the best defense is a good offense. A lot of offense. Faced with accusations that he exaggerated some of his reporting exploits over the years, the combative cable news star has gone into full battle mode, employing the public relations equivalent of the nuclear option. Since Mother Jones magazine published its story about O’Reilly’s claims last Thursday, O’Reilly has done far more than deny the allegations. He has called the story “slander” and labeled its principal author, David Corn, “a liar” and “a guttersnipe.” In one of the numerous interviews he has done with reporters, O’Reilly suggested that Corn should be put in “the kill zone” for his story. He’s also been pushing around the reporters reporting the fallout. On Monday, he warned a New York Times reporter that if the coverage was inaccurate or inappropriate, “I am coming after you with everything I have.” This may not be the best way to make a crisis go away. Indeed, O’Reilly may not want it to. His statements have kept the Mother Jones story in the news for several days, which may have fueled a mini-bump in his ratings. “The O’Reilly Factor” attracted 3.33 million viewers Monday
WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE INTERSECT
Bill O’Reilly was accused in a Mother Jones story of exaggerating some of his reporting exploits over the years.
“His strategy is to throw anything he can against this and hope volume trumps the facts. … This feels more to me like a political campaign than a truth-discerning mission.” DAVID CORN, writer of the Mother Jones magazine story on Bill O’Reilly
night, a 10 percent increase over his average for the month. But O’Reilly’s tactics have also attracted more attention to the article’s central assertion: that he has said on various occasions
1 in 26,315
that he was in “a war zone” and “in the Falklands” when he was covering the British-Argentine conflict as a CBS reporter in 1982. O’Reilly’s former colleagues at CBS have said he never reported from the remote islands during the war; O’Reilly has said he was referring to his coverage of a postwar demonstration in Buenos Aires that turned violent. Mother Jones, as well as O’Reilly’s former CBS colleagues, have disputed O’Reilly’s claim that the riot represented “a war zone” and that Argentine soldiers “slaughtered” civilians during the demonstration. O’Reilly, of course, has begged to differ, and in no uncertain terms. In doing so, he has reversed the usual crisis-management strategy, which is to recite the facts clearly and then get out of the way, said Lanny Davis, a veteran Washington crisis manager.
“I would have advised Bill to get out all the facts about what happened first before attacking,” Davis said. “You can’t avoid the facts, so get them out there. And if you made a mistake, admit it quickly.” Although the two situations aren’t entirely analogous, Fox’s response to the Mother Jones story is in stark contrast to NBC News’ reaction to allegations surrounding anchor Brian Williams that he embellished stories about his reporting. NBC launched an investigation and suspended Williams without pay for six months. By contrast, Fox has given no indication that it intends to investigate O’Reilly’s statements, let alone discipline him for them. That suggests O’Reilly and the network may view the controversy not as a crisis but as a brand-building opportunity. PAUL FARHI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Revenge-porn impresario Craig Brittain is learning the hard way that karma is a real … you know. Last month, the Federal Trade Commission settled a complaint against Brittain in which it accused the Coloradan and his defunct site, “Is Anybody Down,” with unfair business practices. The site paid its bills by soliciting women’s nude photos on Craigslist and/or from their exes, publishing the photos without the women’s permission, and charging fees of $200 to $500 to take the photos down. As part of the settlement, Brittain agreed to destroy the images and never operate a revenge-porn site again. But irony of ironies, Brittain himself now feels exposed. On Feb. 9, he filed a takedown request to Google, demanding that the search engine stop linking to nearly two dozen URLs — including case files from the FTC — because they used photos of him and information about him without his permission. Brittain also complains about media organizations stealing redacted pictures from “Is Anybody Down” — which stayed in business by stealing photos, itself. Brittain has no legal grounds for the complaint (fair use and First Amendment principles are on Google’s and the media’s side). His attitude is pure hypocrisy: that free speech and communications decency are all well and good and principled — until it’s your privacy that’s in play. CAITLIN DEWEY

Twist of fate for Wizards?
Maryland fans stormed the court after Tuesday’s win over No. 5 Wisconsin.
WASHINGTONPOST.COM | DC SPORTS BOG
Don’t rush to judgment Forget the unwritten rules about when it’s acceptable for fans to storm the court COLLEGE BASKETBALL Well, here we are again. Another big win by a local college basketball team, another inane yet passionate debate about whether it’s “acceptable” or embarrassing for students to storm the court. On Tuesday, No. 14 Maryland’s win over No. 5 Wisconsin reignited the flames of the great court-storming debate. It was just a month ago that Georgetown students’ decision to storm the court after the Hoyas beat thenNo. 4 Villanova brought out the curmudgeons. Before Testudo went crowdsurfing amid a sea of happy Maryland fans Tuesday night, 106.7 The Fan’s Grant Paulsen posed the following question on Twitter: “Is it acceptable for MD to storm court (#14 hosts #5) if they win? I say no way.” The responses were split. Paulsen’s question implies that there are rules for acceptable court-storming — requirements that must be met for students to avoid embarrassing alumni and all the fans who came before.
To me, there is one and only one defensible argument against storming the court in college basketball: It’s dangerous. There’s a compelling case to put an end to all court-stormings after Kansas State fans stormed the court against Kansas on Monday and one idiot decided it was a good opportunity to body-check Jayhawks forward Jamari Traylor. If you’re not against courtstorming in all situations, however, please stop trying to enforce convoluted, unwritten rules for everyone else, including the following:
The rankings/standings rule Depending on which unwritten rule book you consult, you should never storm the court if your team is ranked, or if your opponent is unranked, or if the difference between your ranking and your opponent’s ranking is less than 10, or if you’re in second place in the conference standings, or if your opponent isn’t ranked No. 1. Rankings are arbitrary, as is any rule based on them.
The national title rule Fans of a school that has won a national title should never storm the court. ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg championed this asinine criterion when he called Tuesday’s court-storming an embarrassment. Can you believe the nerve of those Oregon students, storming the court after Sunday’s win over No. 9 Utah. Howard Hobson, the coach of Oregon’s 1939 national titlewinning team, must be turning in his grave.
The tradition rule Similar to the national title rule. Basically, if your school’s basketball program has ever been good, you shouldn’t rush the court, because, um, it’s beneath you. “The ‘It happened before I was born’ perennial, millennial excuse is not good enough,” ESPN’s Michael Wilbon said in January after Georgetown’s court-storming. “By the way, they don’t do this at Duke, so somebody’s aware there, and some other programs.”
Kansas St. student cited for misconduct after body-checking Kansas player in court-storming
I’d bet that many of Tuesday night’s court-rushers had never heard of Byron Mouton, and you know what? That’s OK. They did nothing to cheapen the legacy of Maryland’s national championship team or any other player in the program’s history.
The ‘act like you’ve been there before’ rule This is the worst argument against court-storming. They’re wise words to live by for plenty of other situations in sports, such as when a wide receiver celebrates a catch in a game his team is losing by 30 points, but not so much when it comes to college students storming the court. Many of the students who rushed the floor in College Park on Tuesday haven’t been there before. The win over Wisconsin was the biggest home win in at least two — maybe five — years. As long as schools take measures to ensure the safety of players, coaches and other fans, let the students decide when a court storming is warranted. SCOTT ALLEN

Rendon to just keep it simple NATIONALS Anthony Rendon arrived at Nationals camp a few days before players were required to report and spent a few low-key days lifting and hitting at Space Coast Stadium. He didn’t speak to reporters in that time, explaining that he wasn’t “actually there” until he had to be. Rendon doesn’t like the attention much, preferring to keep things as uncomplicated as he does at the plate. “My game is simple,” he said when asked to explain last year’s Silver Slugger-winning offensive season. “I just try to put the barrel on the ball.

barrel on the ball, good things come out most of the time.” At 25, Rendon now faces the complicated challenge of duplicating or improving on a season in which he hit .287, led the league with 111 runs and hit
21 homers. While he split time between second and third base in his first two seasons, Rendon will enter 2015 as the starting third baseman, as franchise cornerstone Ryan Zimmerman moves to first.

Rendon said he has learned a lot from Zimmerman, though more from observation than extensive conversations with him. “He doesn’t talk a lot, so he’s one of those guys that leads by example,” Rendon said. “So just watching him do his work each and every day and come to the ballpark, that’s what I learned most from him.” When asked about replacing Zimmerman, Rendon politely refused the premise. “It’s pretty crazy. I grew up kind of watching him play,” he said. “I don’t think I’m replacing anybody. I’m just helping the team. Going over there, he’ll be doing the same thing. He’ll be a great first baseman.

Washington must spend around $134 million in cash, according to the NFLPA. If a team does not reach the 89 percent requirement over the four-year period, it must give that shortfall amount to its players in an allocation determined by the NFLPA. Washington currently has $140.5 million committed to salaries for the coming year, but only the top 51 salaries will count against the cap during the offseason. That total comes out at roughly $130 million. That would leave Washington with around $13 million to spend in free agency without any restructurings. However, the team is expected to make a number of moves to free up more cash. MIKE JONES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

REDSKINS Despite Dan Snyder’s reputation as a free-spending owner, his Redskins have actually spent below the minimum requirement over the past two years, according to the NFL Players Association. Washington has spent on average just 87 percent of the salary cap allotted the past two years. Under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, teams must spend a minimum cash requirement of 89 percent over the course of the four-year span (the 2013-14 season to 2016-17). Washington in 2013 spent $99,419,135 in cash, according to the NFLPA’s figures. In 2014, the team spent $123,299,900. The 2013 season marked the final of the Redskins’ two salarycap penalty years, where in the NFL docked them $18 million each year as punishment for incorrectly structuring contracts in the uncapped 2010 season. Washington had no penalty last season, but still spent below the salary cap of $133 million. The cap for the 2015-16 season is expected to be around $143 million. In order to bring its average up to the required 89 percent,

KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY FILM RIFFS
EMILIANO RUPRAH
While you were decomposing
The festival includes a showing of “Snake River,” a 360-degree, full-immersion movie about mercenaries hired to retrieve a stolen biological weapon.
Indie cinema, from all angles The DC Independent Film Festival’s lineup keeps things fresh FILM Deirdre Evans-Pritchard, director of the DC Independent Film Festival, knows you can go elsewhere for your movies. “We are conscious that you can watch your movies at home in bed with your laptop, let alone on the bus on your way to work,” she says. Festivals like hers have to offer something that is not compatible with an iPad. One standout attraction at this year’s event, which kicked off Wednesday,
is “Snake River,” a 360-degree virtual-reality heist directed by Emiliano Ruprah, a grad student at American University. Audience members wear headsets that visually immerse them in the 20-minute film (which is showing Friday). More important than that tech, Evans-Pritchard says, are the filmmakers. Part of DCIFF’s mission has always been to connect filmmakers — both with one another for professional development, and with their audiences. “All our screenings have a Q&A afterwards,” she says. “All the feature directors are coming; all the directors of the feature documentaries are coming. That’s
in dies + a r t i es
where we put our time, energy and cash.” Expect quite a variety, says Evans-Pritchard, who is in her fourth year as the fest’s director. “They are coming from a wider range of professions and life circumstances,” she says. For example, some of the directors have to finish their homework before being allowed to work on their movie. “We have a high school film competition that’s now in its second year, and we received 150 applications for that,” she says. (The 14 films accepted will screen on Saturday.) A large part of DCIFF’s continued success, Evans-Pritchard says, comes from having a bit
more freedom than some other festivals. “We only select from films that are submitted to us, [and] all films must be D.C. premieres,” she says. “[Then] we look at what we’ve picked, and then look at how to present it. Our audience knows our festival and trusts us to put on good films, fun events, discussion, music — anything interesting or weird that allows us to tap in and connect with audiences in ways that are, by definition, fresh.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

There are some movies in the American canon that are problematic, particularly when it comes to race — 1915’s “The Birth of a Nation,” for example, is a seminal work of cinema in terms of technology and technique, but it is also racist. Like, crazy racist. “Gone With the Wind” is more complex with regards to race. On the one hand, slavery is recalled as a charming, benign institution. On the other hand, it stars Hattie McDaniel, the first black Oscar winner (it took 15 more years for another African-American to win an Academy Award for acting). It’s rare to see this uniquely American epic in theaters, but now’s your chance not only to catch it as it’s meant to be seen, but to see how far we’ve progressed (and how far we haven’t) in terms of race on screen. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)
In “The Lazarus Effect,” opening Friday, a team of people who have never seen a movie attempt to bring various dead things back to life. The rest of us know well that that is always a very bad idea. ‘FRANKENSTEIN’: The 1931 classic, in which Dr. Frankenstein brings back a bunch of stitchedtogether people parts, gave us the “It’s alive!” trope, even though a lot of things end up not-alive by the end. ‘ALIEN: RESURRECTION’: Why would you bring back Ellen Ripley after she’s been dead for 200 years? Not only is she pretty angry, but she keeps insisting she’s the boss of everyone because she’s older. ‘PET SEMATARY’: Before you bury your pet in the backyard, check to see if Stephen King had anything to do you with orchestrating your life. If so, upgrade that shoebox to a concrete-reinforced, lead-lined vault. ‘FLATLINERS’: The most unbelievable thing about this 1990 film is not that four med students would attempt to see if there’s life after death; it’s that med students would have this much free time. ‘FRANKENWEENIE’: After Victor’s dog Sparky gets hit by a car, the boy brings him back to life through a combination of luck and electricity. He then buys posterboard and totally wins the elementary school science fair.

Whether he’s playing in his bands Soulive and Lettuce, producing songs for the London Souls, or sitting in with Greensky Bluegrass, guitarist Eric Krasno rarely stops making music. “I definitely get around,” he says. The 38-year-old Brooklynite’s latest gig: touring as part of blues and soul revue Blues at the Crossroads, which stops at the Howard Theatre on Thursday. Anchored by house band The Dynamites, the show features interconnected sets from Krasno, Alecia Chakour, Lee Fields and Irma Thomas. “My role is fun,” says Krasno, above. “I come out and do some of my own music, then I play a bit throughout the show. So I get to play with everybody.” Here, Krasno takes us through the revue’s players. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW; Thu., 8 p.m., $40.

The Nashville, Tenn.based band, which features three horns, organ, bass, drums and guitar, keeps the revue from falling apart. Led by guitarist Bill Elder, above, the group puts the setlist together and is onstage the whole night, building musical segues between the acts. “There’s a lot of moving parts,” Krasno says. “It’s old school in the mentality, but they put a new vibe to it.” Lately, The Dynamites have been touring as the backing band for ’60s soul singer Charles Walker.
Krasno has been playing with blues singer Alecia Chakour for years: She’s sat in with Soulive, toured with Lettuce and worked extensively with Krasno in the studio. They’re also neighbors. “We had some mutual friends that played me her first EP years ago and I was blown away by her voice,” Krasno says. Chakour does covers for Blues at the Crossroads, including a particularly stirring Etta James medley. “She’s perfect for this tour,” Krasno says, “because a lot of people don’t know her but every night she’s been getting a standing ovation.”
The Soul Queen of New Orleans, Irma Thomas tackled “Time Is on My Side” before The Rolling Stones got to it. “She has such a charisma onstage and everyone is always so excited when she comes out,” Krasno says. “She’s got such a vibe — she’s 74 years old but sings like she’s 20.” For Krasno, who considers New Orleans his second home, one of the highlights of the tour has been spending time with Thomas. “It’s been really fun getting those stories about a lot of the New Orleans folks that she came up with,” he says.
North Carolina-born soul singer Lee Fields closes Blues at the Crossroads with a nod to James Brown. The singer, who actually recorded extra vocals for last year’s Brown biopic “Get On Up,” does a mix of Brown covers, his own tunes and other soul classics. “He’s the true showman. You don’t see too many people these days that have that same excitement to just wow people every night,” Krasno says. “It’s inspiring to be around that energy every day.”

‘And what do you chew?’ Food-centric clubs give D.C. residents something other than work to discuss CLUBS The unthinkable happened at a recent gathering of The Charcuterie Club D.C., co-founder Cathryn Marcuse recalls. “There were two people sitting next to each other who talked for four hours before realizing they worked at the same company,” Marcuse says. “That is so rare.” In a city where strangers tend to suss out one another’s vocations within minutes of meeting, organized food gatherings allow gourmands to drop the script and get to know each other on a deeper level. Cathryn and her husband, Josh, started the charcuterie club (thecharcuterieclubdc.com) last February with a handful of friends and a roll of salami.
Members of The Charcuterie Club D.C. sample meats and wines during a recent event at Each Peach Market in Mount Pleasant.
Today, the group has nearly 200 members and organizes events like informal tastings, classes and sit-down dinners. “Food is something that you can talk about with anybody,” says Sean Morash, co-founder of D.C.’s Baseball-Sandwich Club. A food lover and baseball fanatic, Morash launched the organization last July. Roughly 15 people turned out for the first two gatherings for free-form discussions about the great American pastime — as well as friendly debates, like whether a hot dog qualifies as a sandwich. “Everyone has gotten along so well because it’s still the offseason,” Morash says. “Everyone thinks [their team] still has a chance.”

Nothing fuels fruitful discussions like a little booze, Jess Hagadorn has learned. The founder of Young Winos of DC (youngwinos ofdc.com) organized the group in 2010 to connect with other oenophiles. “My friends enjoyed wine, but they didn’t want to talk about it like I did,” Hagadorn says. Now with more than 700 members (and nearly 50 new ones joining each month), Young Winos brings people together for sommelier-led wine tastings, vineyard field trips and happy hours. “I’ve met some really great friends through the club,” Hagadorn says. “Some were even invited to my wedding. I had no idea who these people were beforehand.” Membership for each of these clubs is free, with the occasional fee for ticketed events. The respite they offer is priceless. “The line between work and social activities is so thin in D.C.,” Marcuse says. “Food clubs provide a great escape.” HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

Yo-Yo Ma CELLIST, TRAVELER, FOUNDER OF THE SILK ROAD ENSEMBLE
MUSIC Get a group of international musicians together, and the result could easily be ear-splitting. After all, different cultures often have wildly incompatible tunings, scales and instruments. Add language barriers to the mix, and you can imagine what it’s like to be at a rehearsal of cellist Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. “We all have different musical traditions, languages, sounds, habits, food preferences — even ordering lunch can be a challenge,” Ma says. Despite the difficulties, the Silk Road Ensemble has been an unqualified success, producing more than 70 original compositions and five critically acclaimed albums since 2000, all the while giving sold-out concerts around the globe. Named for the ancient China-to-Europe trade route, the ever-evolving ensemble consists of musicians that Ma, perhaps the greatest living cellist, met while touring the world. On Sunday, Ma and 16 other Silk Road Ensemble members will perform a program of alloriginal music at the Kennedy Center. Congratulations — your Silk Road Ensemble has been around now for 15 years. Thanks. We’re teenagers now. We’re going for the car keys.

TEXAS TROUBAdOUR TRIBUTE TO TOWNES VAN ZANdT, GUY CLARK & STEVE EARLE
Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble features a rotating cast of players. He’ll be accompanied by 16 musicians in D.C.
What has been the group’s biggest accomplishment? We’ve proven that people from all over the world can get along, become friends and create beautiful things together. Over the group’s history, there’s been a rotating cast of musicians. What kinds of people tend to stick around? It’s not for everyone. You have to have a certain level of virtuosity and be generous about sharing what you know. You also need a certain openness; the ability to take in things that might be foreign to you and not be threatened by them. That’s the whole idea of the project. One of our first values is: “Nobody knows everything.” Are there any musicians on this tour that you’re particularly excited to showcase? One of our newest members is Kinan Azmeh. He’s a brilliant clarinetist and composer from Damascus, Syria. I feel he’s an ideal musician in the 21st century. He’s virtuosic, generous, open-minded, and he uses himself for good social purpose. He brings music to Syrian refugee camps in Jordan, where he teaches children to play flute and clarinet, and he’s always playing benefits for humanitarian groups. He’s a real citizenmusician, which is a term that could apply to all our members. One musician who has been with us for a long time is Kojiro Umezaki. He’s like the Eric
Clapton of the shakuhachi, an ancient Japanese bamboo flute. He has really taken that instrument to an extraordinarily new level. We’ll be performing a piece he wrote and dedicated to the group. It’s called “Wedding,” and it’s a celebration of friendship. What other pieces will you be performing? There’s a piece by Giovanni Sollima, who is from Sicily, Italy, which is a place where all the major cultures of the Mediterranean have commingled. His piece, the “Taranta Project,” is about village-wide celebrations
So many roads All the members of the Silk Road Ensemble are virtuosos in their own right. Several of the group’s players will be staging shows of their own in March, including: Cristina Pato, master of the
gaita, or Spanish bagpipes. Sixth and I Historic Synagogue, 600 I St. NW; March 14, 8 p.m., $25. Hadi Eldebek, who plays the
Arabic lute-like instrument known as the oud. Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, 2700 F St. NW; March 11, 6 p.m., free. Brooklyn rider, the experimental string quartet, premiere of a new work by Tyondai Braxton. Sixth and I Historic
Synagogue, 600 I St. NW, March 21, 8 p.m., $28.
where people just get together and play. It’s a tour-de-force that involves all kinds of unusual sounds, including some percussive talking and some body slapping, mixed with a string quartet. We’re also playing a new piece by an old friend, Zhao Lin, who plays the sheng, a Chinese mouth organ. The piece, “Paramita,” is about the traveler who brings the Sanskrit Buddhist texts to China. It describes the journey, and it’s extraordinarily beautiful. So we have celebration of friendship and spirituality and cultural exchange. In a way that is also the arc of the Silk Road Project. You’re such a musical omnivore. Is there any kind of music that you don’t enjoy, like death metal? If something sounds cacophonous to me, I try to approach it without judgment. It’s almost like a murder mystery. Who did this, and why? If you start asking these questions, there’s nothing that isn’t interesting. That doesn’t necessarily mean I want to jump in and be part of it. If I listen and ask these questions and still don’t understand it, maybe I will put that music in a drawer for a while and come back to it later. Maybe I need to grow or learn something new before I can understand it. Sadie Dingfelder (Express)

Now you know how to create a triply unlucky boat! That’s one of many useful bits of maritime lore gleaned from a shipwright working in the boatyard on a recent visit to this 18-acre waterside museum complex. The trek across the campus on a wintry day felt more exploratory than the typical, passive “look, there’s a thing� museum experience. Backstory The CBMM was founded in 1965 on land (and water) where seafood was processed and packed.

Highlights
Three weeks before this photo was taken, this log canoe was three logs.
The boatyard, where real people work on real boats (“real� as in “not costumed interpreters� and “destined to be used,� respectively), was the most lively spot. The aforementioned wise shipwright showed off several
boats-in-progress, among them a log canoe, a sleek craft favored by rich boat-racing types. A visit to the circa-1879 Hooper Strait lighthouse felt like trespassing, an effect heightened by the convincing dummy lighthouse keeper sleeping in the bed. The interior is thoroughly placarded, down to the bottom of a chamber pot, which reads, “What happens when you have to pee and it’s really cold outside?�
In the gift shop The Old Bay cheese puffs ($1.09 for a small bag) were the uncontested merchandise winner of the day. HOLLY J. MORRIS (EXPRESS) Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, 213 N.

Given Rock’s work, though, it makes sense. His style and delivery drip with ironic disdain, the kind that comes from being the smartest and most self-aware person in the room.

Gang of Four
Barry Manilow
Post-punk vets Gang of Four put out their masterful debut album “Entertainment!” back in 1979, and its influence on modern rock music is undeniable. Without that record, many modern indie-rock bands — acts like Arctic Monkeys, LCD Soundsystem and Parquet Courts — might not even exist.
Barry Manilow is a music biz lifer who still plays arenas on the strength of songs he’s been singing forever. Though he’s calling this his farewell tour, he’ll probably be back before you know it.

‘Horror Story’ casts a very real freak
FOX
Phil (Will Forte) finally relaxes after settling an argument with the basketball.
RUDI GREENBERG | INSIDE JOKES
Revelation: Fox’s apocalypse show somehow works Filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have a magic touch that turns potentially awful ideas into surprisingly awesome ones. Just look at the duo’s recent work: Adapt the kids’ book “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” reboot “21 Jump Street,” build a movie out of Legos. Based on premises alone, any of those films could have bombed. Instead, they were all critical and commercial hits that netted sequels. Their latest project: Helping bring Will Forte’s apocalypse comedy “The Last Man on
Earth” to network television. Lord and Miller are executive producing the series, which Forte created, and they directed Sunday’s hourlong pilot (9 p.m., Fox). On paper, the setup sounds like a terrible idea for a TV show: It’s the near future, and an unspecified “outbreak” has wiped out earth’s entire population, save for one schlubby man. A trailer featuring Forte’s Phil Miller trashing a deserted grocery store looked promising, but raised a number of questions: Why would Fox air a series with just one character? Will there be any dialogue? And, most importantly, how on earth was this going to work?
After watching the pilot, I have some answers: No, Phil is not the only character, but saying how or why would be a spoiler. (Phil assumes he’s alone after he drives across the country in an RV looking for signs of life. He returns home to Tucson, Ariz., alone, with a Smithsonian’s worth of iconic art, historical documents and pop culture ephemera — one of the pilot’s best running gags.) Yes, Forte speaks. First to God, then himself. Then to a volleyball (a la “Cast Away”). And a tennis ball. And a cue ball. Eventually, he fills a bar with a group of “friends” comprised of spherical objects. So, does it work? It really does. “The Last Man on Earth” is one of the more inventive network comedy pilots I’ve seen. It immediately immerses the viewer into Phil’s post-apocalyptic world in a way that’s cinematic, silly, somewhat sad — and unsurprisingly awesome.
TV is Lady Gaga’s new platform: After an impressive performance at the Oscars, the singer announced she will join the cast of “American Horror Story.” FX confirmed Wednesday that the pop star will join the fifth season of the hit series, which returns in October. No details were provided. Gaga tweeted a horror flick-inspired video of herself in a mask. She said the name of the show’s new season is “American Horror Story: Hotel.” The 28-year-old Grammy-winning singer starred in the 2013 film “Machete Kills.” (AP)

“Thirty years ago we fell for Madonna and tonight she returned the favor.” @TCERAULO finds a new perspective after the pop star fell from a stage Wednesday night during a performance at the BRIT Awards. It appeared the singer was accidentally dragged off an elevated platform by a background dancer who latched onto the cape she was wearing. Instantly, the act became a meme, with people posting images of themselves being dragged down by clothes tied around their necks.

JASON DAVID FRANK AT FACEBOOK.COM , who was the original Green Power Ranger in the 1993 series, isn’t happy with a 14-minute short film based on the “Power Rangers” franchise that was posted online Tuesday. Created and funded by Joseph Kahn, a prominent music video director who most recently directed Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” video, “Power/Rangers” is a dark and twisted reimagining that stars James Van Der Beek. Under pressure from Lionsgate and Saban Brands, which own the rights to the franchise, Vimeo removed the video from its site, though a more safe-for-work version was still viewable on YouTube.

“Brb transferring to Maryland b/c flash mob” @COURTKNEE_YOUNG has her priorities straight after seeing a traditional University of Maryland flash mob. For the third straight year, students staged the event during a first quarter TV timeout of a high-profile Terps basketball game. This latest flash mob occurred Tuesday night as the Terps battled it out against Wisconsin at home. Maybe the amazing fan showing — students got to the arena three hours early to practice flash mobbing! — is what helped the No. 14 Terps beat the No. 5 Badgers 59-53.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) This is a good day to start making a plan that will involve many others — especially those close to you. Think big! ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re eager to get your way, because you’ve got something very big in mind — but you must remember that not all dreams can come true. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may find yourself wishing that an episode from your past had turned out quite differently. What, in the end, would that do for you? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’re waiting for an offer to come through that might actually solve all of your problems — or at least present you with several options.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You must avoid letting yourself reach for everything that comes your way. You’ll want to pick and choose wisely.
TODAY: Any accumulating snow should be moving out by 6-8 a.m. Some icy roadways are a good bet where snow happens, even if it’s not much. A few flurries or quick snow showers are possible during the day as well, but nothing that would cause any additional issues. Conditions stay cloudy into the afternoon.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may think that others will allow you to do whatever you want, but this way of thinking won’t benefit anyone — especially you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You can enhance your own pleasure by doing precisely that which seems most pleasurable — but in a place that is unusual.

In a tweet Tuesday, Kelly Clarkson assured fans she was just kidding when she told BBC Radio 1 last week that “everyone usually says no” when she asks to collaborate with them. “The press is really twisting this comment just FYI!” Clarkson insisted. “Obviously my humor is not translating!” (EXPRESS) Here’s an example of a dress Naya will not be able to wear soon.
On Tuesday’s “Fashion Police,” Giuliana Rancic apologized to anyone who was offended when she suggested that Zendaya’s dreadlocks “smell like patchouli oil or weed.” In a long Twitter post, Zendaya called Rancic’s “Fashion Police” comment about her dreadlocks “outrageously offensive.” Rancic said the reaction has increased her awareness of “cliches and stereotypes.” (AP)
