Capitals, Wizards and Mystics’ owner dishes on politics and pros
If you had to choose: an NBA championship or a Stanley Cup? That’s Sophie’s choice. … I would say I can’t make the choice. Now I do have a hair more affinity with the Caps because the body of work is longer. I grew up playing basketball, and intrinsically I know more about playing basketball. But the Caps I’ve owned since 1999. The Wizards I’ve owned for four years. Don’t you want to add a pro football team? No. And I don’t think about it when my hands are full and there’s no pro football team for sale. And you wouldn’t be allowed to because of cross-ownership issues. There had been talk of changing the Wizards’ name back to the Bullets. Is that being considered?
ANDRE CHUNG (THE WASHINGTON POST)
THE DISTRICT Ted Leonsis, 58, is the founder and CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment.
It has never been considered. It’s something that fans talk about and media talk about. And it’s, to me, a subject that’s empty calories. I don’t think it’s nostalgia for the name — it’s nostalgia for winning a championship. Does criticism bother you as much as it may have in the past? My fault is, I’m unabashed in saying I want to be loved. I ask this often of CEOs and their brand: “Do you think it’s better to be needed or loved?” Comcast is my partner, and I respect them and I need them, but I don’t love them. It’s hard to love your cable company.
When will you get involved in politics? I have zero, and I mean less than zero, interest in holding political office, because your main deliverable once you get into political office is to get re-elected. And once you make that leap then you’re always talking to the middle.

REGION A major rift within Metro’s leadership has disrupted the transit agency’s search for a new chief executive after some board members objected that the initial three finalists for the job weren’t the kind of executive needed to fix the organization’s problems, District and Metro officials said. The District government and a Maryland board member are pressing for a financial turnaround specialist who can address not only safety issues, but also what critics see as the agency’s deep fiscal difficulties. The internal battle has aroused concern that the dispute will hurt Metro’s reputation and make it harder to attract good candidates. It also has significantly delayed the hiring of a new chief executive. A majority of Metro’s voting board members had tentatively agreed by last week on three traditional transit executives as finalists to replace Richard Sarles, who stepped down in January. But Mayor Muriel Bowser and other officials told Metro Board

Rift in Metro board disrupts search for GM
Some board members are worried about the state of Metro’s finances.
Chairman Mortimer Downey that Metro needs someone with experience rescuing a troubled system. They are worried the system has been slow to act on what they see as its dire financial straits. The critics are worried partly because a Metro financial audit is four months overdue, and because the system has reached limits on drawing on lines of credit to cover cash flow demands. Downey and Dennis Anosike, Metro’s chief financial officer, said the concerns were exaggerated. They said Metro has a temporary cash flow problem, but
it’s in the process of being fixed. “I’m a little frustrated,” Downey said. “We are not bankrupt. We are not in need of a financial turnaround specialist. When you call in someone like that, it’s like calling in the undertaker.” Downey said that the three finalists have withdrawn their names, saying they pulled out because the confidentiality of the search was violated when information that potentially could be used to identify them was leaked to a television reporter.

D.C. Council advances bill to limit pot screening A D.C. Council committee on Wednesday unanimously advanced legislation to ban employers from testing prospective employees for pot until after a job offer is made. Council member Vincent Orange, who sponsored the bill, said he hopes that employers will also give new employees a grace period to “clean up,” if they expect them to be drug-free. The bill amounted to a first in perhaps dozens of legal and regulatory changes that Council members say they expect to undertake as they grapple with marijuana’s new status as a legal intoxicant.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA CAN HELP!
Students learned Tuesday that Sweet Briar College will close this summer.
Some still hope to save Sweet Briar Shock over the closing turns to determination to keep college alive VIRGINIA The first reactions were of shock: tears, disbelief, silence. But within hours of Sweet Briar College’s president announcing that the more-than-a-century-old women’s college in Virginia would abruptly close this summer, the response for many had changed. It was not just sorrow, but determination: Not if I can help it. On Twitter, messages Tuesday night began to be linked with the hashtag #savesweetbriar. A website appeared, with a $250 million fundraising goal. Many alumnae said the news was completely out of the blue.
They knew there were struggles, as at many private liberal-arts colleges, but they weren’t told how dire the school’s finances were. Laurel Lee Harvey, a 1990 graduate, said in an email that alumnae were blindsided. “We were never asked to step up. We were never asked to provide more help. If the request had been made, the answer would have been an emphatic yes. The world needs to know that Sweet Briar women did not desert their alma mater.” To the contrary, she said the campus community has pulled together. “Social media exploded yesterday,” Harvey said. “We have alums ready to dive in and assist with fundraising, as well as looking at the legal and ethical dimensions of the decision.” SUSAN SVRLUGA (THE WASHINGTON POST)
A 17-year-old Northern Virginia high school student who federal authorities believe successfully helped a man make his way to Syria to fight with the Islamic State has been taken into custody, according to the boy’s neighbors and an official familiar with the case. The boy, a student at Prince William County, Va.’s Osbourn Park High School, is so far charged only as a juvenile, and federal prosecutors are navigating the intensive legal process to move the case into adult court, an official said. Officials familiar with the case said investigators believe the teen helped arrange travel for an adult not much older than himself. (THE WASHINGTON POST ) MARYLAND

Police identified the suspect as Hong Young of Beltsville, Md., a former Maryland prison officer. Authorities said the motive does not appear to be political or related to terrorism. In four of the five shootings, no one was injured. In the fifth, two people were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening wounds. (TWP)

5 takeaways from Obamacare showdown Based on Wednesday’s arguments before the Supreme Court, it’s looking likely that another narrow ruling will determine the fate of the Obama administration’s signature health-care program. Here are five takeaways from the hearing that focused on whether millions of Americans who receive tax subsidies to buy health insurance are doing so illegally. JASON MILLMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST) The vote will be close
Justice Anthony Kennedy and Chief Justice John Roberts are still potential swing votes. Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito seem to sympathize with the plaintiffs’ argument that the text of the Affordable Care Act only authorizes subsidies in state-run exchanges.
2
Kennedy’s skepticism could be good for Obama Kennedy voiced concern that allowing subsidies only on state exchanges, as the plaintiffs argue the law reads, could raise “serious constitutional problems.” It could be too coercive, he said, since a state’s insurance market would be damaged if it didn’t set up the exchange.
3
The court could delay its impact
Scalia said that if the court rules against the subsidies, Congress could come up with a fix, though the government’s lawyer expressed skepticism about that. Alito suggested that the court could delay the decision from taking effect until 2016 to give states and Congress time to react.

4
’Standing’ likely won’t be an issue
There was some question heading into Wednesday’s arguments whether the four plaintiffs had the standing to sue — that is, could they legitimately claim they would be injured by this law. But the government’s lawyer conceded that at least one of the plaintiffs probably has standing. And one is enough.
5
No one knows what the chief justice is thinking All eyes were on Roberts, since he provided the pivotal swing vote three years ago to uphold the law’s individual mandate. Roberts didn’t say much Wednesday that would indicate how he’s leaning, depriving court watchers of the tea leaves they’d certainly try to read.

Boston bomber’s defense: He did it BOSTON The question, for all practical purposes, is no longer whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev took part in the Boston Marathon bombing. It’s whether he deserves to die for it. In a blunt opening statement at the nation’s biggest terrorism trial in nearly 20 years, Tsarnaev’s lawyer flatly told a jury that the 21-year-old former college student committed the crime. “It WAS him,” said defense attorney Judy Clarke, one of the nation’s foremost death-penalty specialists. But in a strategy aimed at saving Tsarnaev from a death sentence, she argued that he had fallen under the malevolent influence of his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan. “The evidence will not establish
and we will not argue that Tamerlan put a gun to Dzhokhar’s head or that he forced him to join in the plan,” Clarke said, “but you will hear evidence about the kind of influence that this older brother had.” Three people were killed and more than 260 hurt when two shrapnel-packed pressurecooker bombs exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013. Tsarnaev, then 19, was accused of carrying out the attacks with 26-year-old Tamerlan, who was killed in a shootout and getaway attempt days later. Authorities contend the brothers — ethnic Chechens who arrived from Russia more than a decade ago — were driven by anger over U.S. wars in Muslim lands. DENISE LAVOIE (AP)

Young people protest against sexual violence in New Delhi last month.
Can cameras solve India’s rape crisis? New Delhi leaders want to install 1 million surveillance cameras NEW DELHI Last month, a woman in New Delhi was raped by four men in a moving car before they pushed her out onto the road. Her assailants fled the scene, but a surveillance camera captured the grainy image of the car as it sped away, and within hours the police arrested the alleged attackers. With the highest incidence of reported rape of any city in India — about 2,069 last year — New Delhi’s newly elected government wants to install about 1 million surveillance cameras. Many in government hope doing so would deter such crimes, but
the proposal has raised concerns among women about privacy and doubts about whether the devices would prevent attacks in the city of 16 million people. “Cameras give me a sense of confidence, but can it deter rape?” asked Radhika Khurana, 18 , a psycholog y student. “Women are blamed for everything in our society. What if the camera footage is used to ask us questions like: ‘What was she doing out there so late anyway? Why was she wearing that? Who was she with?’ ” Some say authorities find it easier to respond by installing cameras — New Delhi already has more than 4,000 — than by strengthening the law enforcement response for women.

House panel subpoenas Clinton emails
Hillary Rodham Clinton wasn’t the only official to use personal email.
Benghazi panel wants to see private emails
Clinton had her own computer server
Other top officials also used private email
The House Select Committee on Benghazi, which first discovered Clinton’s use of a personal email based on a home server in its inquiry into a fatal 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, is asking for all emails related to the attack from all Clintonemail .com accounts and any other staff members’ personal accounts. The move escalates the panel’s conflict with Clinton.
The computer server that transmitted and received Clinton’s emails — on a private account used for official business when she was secretary of state — traced back to an Internet service registered to her family’s home in Chappaqua, N.Y. The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton impressive control over limiting access to her message archives.
While discouraged, conducting official business on personal email became widespread enough among senior government leaders that Congress tightened rules on it late last year. Cabinetlevel officials including former Environmental Protection Agency leader Lisa Jackson and former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius also used private or secondary government email accounts.

U.S. clears Ferguson officer Examples of racism
WASHINGTON The Justice Department cleared a white former Ferguson, Mo., police officer in the August 2014 fatal shooting of an unarmed black 18-year-old on Wednesday, but also issued a scathing report calling for sweeping changes in Darren Wilson city law enforcement practices it called discriminatory and unconstitutional. The dual reports marked the culmination of monthslong federal investigations into a shooting that sparked protests and a national dialogue on race and law enforcement. The decision not to prosecute Darren Wilson, the white officer who was cleared in November by a state grand jury and has since resigned, had been expected. To win a federal civil rights case, officials would have needed to prove

that Wilson willfully deprived Michael Brown of his rights by using unreasonable force. Even as the Justice Department declined to prosecute Wilson, it found that the shooting occurred in an environment of systematic mistreatment of blacks, in which officials swapped racist emails and jokes without punishment and black residents were disproportionately stopped and searched, fined
for petty offenses and subjected to excessive police force. Officials announced 26 recommendations, including training officers in how to de-escalate confrontations and banning the use of ticketing and arrest quotas. The report’s recommendations, if accepted by city officials, could lead to an overhaul of basic practices by police officers and court officials. ERIC TUCKER (AP)

JEB BUSH’S CAP ON DONORS
The limit that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has put on political donations from wealthy supporters per person this quarter, perhaps the first time that a presidential hopeful has sought to hold off supporters from contributing too much money. The move reflects concerns among Bush advisers that accepting massive sums from a handful of uber-rich supporters could fuel a perception that the former governor is in their debt, and a desire to build as broad a pool of donors as possible among wealthier contributors.

Echoes of Stalin in the slaying of Putin enemy On Dec. 1, 1934, a lone gunman walked into the offices of Sergei Kirov, the top figure of the Communist Party in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) and a member of the Politburo. Not long thereafter, Kirov was dead, with a bullet hole in his neck. Kirov’s death was a shock. Stalin, the Soviet leader, directly took charge of the investigation into the incident. The echo of the past could be heard last week after the killing of Boris Nemtsov, a leading opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin vowed to personally run the inquiry into the murder. And as was the case more than eight decades ago, the shadow of the Kremlin hangs over the scene of the crime. It has not been conclusively proven that Stalin ordered the assassination of Kirov, whom he almost certainly considered a dangerous political rival. But it’s clear Stalin benefited from Kirov’s removal from the stage, and used the latter’s death as a pretext to launch an astonishing crackdown on supposed political opponents. There is no clear evidence linking Putin with Nemtsov’s death in Moscow, either. But many see a similarity in the atmospherics that surrounded the two murders. In both contexts, state authorities pointed the finger at foreign enemies and subversive elements at home. ISHAAN THAROOR
Sorry to kill your sugar high, but …
For a person consuming 2,000 calories a day: A 10 PERCENT TARGET: Targeting 10 percent of calories for sugar — the high end of the WHO guidelines — would equal 200 calories (or 50 grams, or 12 teaspoons, of sugar). A 5 PERCENT TARGET: Targeting 5 percent — the low end of the WHO guidelines —would equate to 100 calories (or 25 grams, or 6 teaspoons, of sugar).

WASHINGTONPOST.COM WORLDVIEWS
How much sugar can you consume a day?
The U.N. says you likely need to slash your sugar intake by about two-thirds HEALTH The World Health Organization is worried about how much sugar you’re eating. And how much people all over the planet are eating. The U.N. health agency finalized guidelines Wednesday saying that people should keep their intake of added sugars to just 5 to 10 percent of overall calories, which translates to about 25 to 50 grams (or 6 to 12 teaspoons) of sugar a day for most people. The group’s recommendations don’t apply to sugars present in fresh fruits, vegetables and milk, since those come with essential nutrients. Rather, experts are increasingly warning about the added sugars found in processed foods, including those not typically classified as sweets. The WHO report notes, for example, that a tablespoon of ketchup includes about 1 teaspoon of sugar. A typical can of soda contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar. “The trouble is, we really do like sugar in a lot of things,” said Kieran Clarke of the University of Oxford, who said the global taste for sugar borders on an addiction.
“Even if you are not just eating lollies and candy, you are probably eating a fair amount of sugar.” Experts have long railed about the dangers of sugar, and studies suggest that people who eat large amounts of it are at higher risk of dying prematurely from heart problems, diabetes and cancer, among other conditions. Americans get about 13 percent of their calories from added sugar, or 268 calories a day, the equivalent of about 18 teaspoons. In Europe, sugar intake ranges from about 7 percent in Hungary and Norway, to 17 percent in Britain to nearly 25 percent in Portugal.
“Even if you are not just eating lollies and candy, you are probably eating a fair amount of sugar.” KIERAN CLARKE, of the University of Oxford

To meet the lower threshold set by the new guidelines, Americans, Europeans and others in the West would have to slash their average sugar intake by about two-thirds. Some experts say the 10 percent target is more realistic for Western countries than the lower target. They said the 5 percent figure is aimed mostly at developing countries, where dental hygiene isn’t good enough to prevent cavities, which can lead to serious health problems. “To get down to 5 percent, you wouldn’t even be allowed to have orange juice,” said Tom Sanders, a professor of nutrition and dietetics at King’s College London. He said it shouldn’t be that difficult for most Europeans, Americans and others in the developed world to get their sugar intake to 10 percent of their diet if they limit things like sugary drinks, cereals, beer, cookies and candy. The Sugar Association, of course, has slammed the new recommendations, arguing that the advice was based on “poor quality, weak and inconsistent data.” It noted that the WHO itself acknowledged the evidence for the 5 percent target was “very low quality.” MARIA CHENG (AP) AND BRADY DENNIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)
TO COMPARE: A 12-ounce regular Coke has 39 grams (10 teaspoons) of sugar. A 16-ounce grande Starbucks Caramel Macchiato has 32 grams (8 teaspoons) of sugar. A Dunkin’ Donut glazed doughnut has 19 grams (about 5 teaspoons) of sugar.
But it’s not all about cookies and candy Anyone who has tried cutting down on sugar knows to avoid cookies, sodas and candy. But sugar can be hidden in lots of other common packaged foods. Here are five examples of foods that might have added sugar or another sweetener like high-fructose corn syrup as an ingredient. SALAD DRESSING: Wish-Bone’s Deluxe French salad dressing lists 4 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of sugar per serving (2 tablespoons). YOGURT: A container of Chobani’s nonfat Greek yogurt in black cherry flavor lists 17 grams (about 4 teaspoons) of sugar. PEANUT BUTTER: Skippy’s Super Chunk variety lists 7 grams (almost 2 teaspoons) of sugar per serving (2 tablespoons). CEREAL: Special K with Red Berries has 9 grams (more than 2 teaspoons) per serving (1 cup), while Frosted Flakes has 10 grams (more than 2 teaspoons) of sugar per serving (¾ cup). FROZEN MEALS: California Kitchen’s BBQ Chicken microwavable pizza has 7 grams (almost 2 teaspoons) of sugar in a single-serving pie. (AP/EXPRESS)

Bryce Harper and the Nationals want to strike out less and drive in runners more in 2015.
THREE POINTERS
Nats’ goal: Strike out less often
All about that base Peyton Manning may take a $4 million pay cut in Denver to bring his base salary to $15 million in 2015, ESPN reported. If that happens, these three will be the highest paid passers in the NFL, according to Spotrac. MICHAEL CUNNIFF (EXPRESS)
Team aims to make more contact at the plate, hoping it pays off in the postseason two things they hope will help this season — and, perhaps, in the playoffs — in an era when offensive production across baseball has declined: contact and improved situational hitting. If good habits are established early, the Nationals hope they will carry over when the games matter most. “Everybody is going to [strike] out,” Williams said. “That’s part of the game. It happens. But we want to try to maximize our chances. If the opposing team gives us that chance to score a run, we’ll take advantage of it. And manufacture some, too.” The Nationals were among the most productive offensive teams in the NL last season. Their 686 runs scored trailed only the Rockies (755) and Dodgers (718). But there are still areas where they can improve. Last season, the Nationals were fifth in the NL in strikeouts (1,304) and

NATIONALS Perhaps the most lasting memory from the Washington Nationals’ early exit from last year’s playoffs is the offense’s ineptitude. In four games against the San Francisco Giants in the National League Division Series, the Nationals scored nine runs and hit .164. “We didn’t do our jobs offensively,” said catcher Wilson Ramos, who hit .118 (2 for 17) in the series. “We missed a lot of chances. During the season, we got those hits. During the playoffs, we couldn’t.” While they are again considered among the preseason World Series favorites, the Nationals still face several questions entering this season, including whether their talented roster can finally reach its potential and win a playoff series. This spring, Nationals manager Matt Williams and hitting coach Rick Schu are stressing

Scherzer to start Max Scherzer will start today’s spring training opener against the Mets, according to Nationals manager Matt Williams. Williams said he expects Scherzer to pitch two innings, with Tanner Roark to follow. “There’s nothing to read into other than he’s going to get the ball [today], and five days later, he’ll get it again,” Williams said. (TWP)
second in most runners left on base (1,160). And when there was a runner on third with fewer than two outs, the Nationals
scored a run only 49 percent of the time, tied for fourth lowest in the NL. Schu’s goals for the Nationals this season are simple: Cut down on some strikeouts, move base runners over more effectively and cash in on the easy runscoring chances. “When we get those easy ones, we can’t miss them,” Schu said. “With our team, our pitching and defense, we have to be able to find a way to score runs. Especially when you get into the postseason, you’re facing the better pitchers.” JAMES WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Eli Manning $17M base salary
Is Eli elite? Probably not, but he’s certainly paid like it. Manning is in the last year of a six-year, $97 million deal with the Giants signed in 2010.
2 Tony Romo $17M base salary
Romo’s base salary is huge, but various bonuses added in bring his hit to the salary cap to more than $27 million for Dallas.
1 Drew Brees $18.75M base salary
Brees’ wages could be an albatross for the Saints, who are reportedly over the salary cap.
ACC AWARDS
Why even have a ballot?
Duke’s Jahlil Okafor was one of the most heralded freshmen in the country entering the season, and if anything, he’s exceeded expectations. So it might not be a surprise to find out that he is the only name on the ACC’s Rookie of the Year ballot, according to Brett Friedlander, who covers the conference for StarNews in North Carolina. Okafor was averaging 18.2 points per game going into Wednesday night’s game. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Wizards’ Seraphin still looking to break out WIZARDS If there’s one thing the Wizards have in surplus, it’s big men. With Nene, Marcin Gortat, Kris Humphries and Drew Gooden on the roster, it’s hard to break through and become a productive player. Kevin Seraphin has been trying for years. Now in his fifth season in the frontcourt rotation, he’s doing what he can to live up to his status as a first-round draft pick. Statistically, Seraphin’s 2014-15 season is on par with his previous three NBA campaigns — he’s averaging 6.8 points per game, just a shade above his career average of 6.5, and his rebound and block totals have remained steady. But there have been flashes
0.47
that suggest Seraphin is on the upswing. In January and February, he put together several solid performances, including a 17-point, 8-rebound effort in a win against the Spurs. Seraphin credits the Wizards coaching staff and the cast of veterans around him. “All my coaches have done a good job to develop me,” he said. “Last year, I had trouble on the double team and so I’ve been working on passing drills, my mid-range shot. So in practice, I’m getting double-teamed, triple-teamed and learning to pass it out. That’s the type of stuff to try and make us get better every year.” Still, Seraphin is a work in progress. He’s scored in double
figures only once and grabbed no more than six rebounds in his past eight games. He also remains mistake-prone. After Seraphin set a moving screen during Washington’s loss Tuesday at Chicago, broadcaster Steve Buckhantz said Seraphin is “good for one of those once per game.” Despite the ups and downs, Seraphin remains jovial, engaging in good-natured trash talk with teammates, posting funny pictures on Twitter and relishing the newfound celebrity the Wizards received after their hot start to the season (remember that?). “Before, nobody would talk to me,” he said, “but now I’m walking and 10 people are running out of the house saying, ‘Oh, Seraphin!’ … It’s nice.” ELLIOT SMITH (FOR EXPRESS)

With trade, Kelly shows who’s boss NFL Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly’s latest bold move — a reported deal to trade star running back LeSean McCoy to Buffalo for linebacker Kiko Alonso — is another example of his philosophy: “Culture beats scheme.” Kelly hasn’t won a playoff game in two seasons in the NFL, but he isn’t afraid to make unpopular decisions. Last year, he cut three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson after a career season. Now, he’s trading away a twotime All-Pro for a talented but injury-prone player. Since taking full control of all personnel moves away from former general manager Howie Roseman in the offseason, Kelly has been busy reshaping a team that won 10 games in each of his first two seasons.
But trading McCoy is a big risk for Kelly, who firmly believes players in his system are replaceable. McCoy thrived in Kelly’s up-tempo offense in 2013, leading the NFL with 1,607 yards rushing. His production, along with the rest of the offense, slipped in 2014 and he finished with 1,319 yards. It was never clear how much the 26-year-old McCoy and Kelly got along. McCoy said Kelly pushed him harder than any coach he had. “Chip is constantly on me,” McCoy said last August. Kelly later created a stir when he said McCoy sometimes practices “not so great.” Whatever the relationship with Kelly, McCoy is gone, and Kelly gets another player he’s quite familiar with in Alonso, who played for Kelly at Oregon.
With seconds left in the Wizards’ loss to Chicago on Tuesday, Otto Porter Jr. let his man run to the other side of the floor while he just stood there, leading to a game-sealing offensive rebound by Chicago. Porter’s mystifying refusal to move for more than a second while Tony Snell scampered away became the game’s main takeaway by Internet observers and the subject of a Vine video that spawned a thousand jokes. “Maybe Otto Porter’s batteries just ran out?” CBS Sports tweeted.

TWITTER-FAMOUS COMEDIAN, BRITISH TV STAR, FATHER Last year, America lost one of its best comedians to England. Rob Delaney, who gained prominence thanks to his delightfully weird Twitter feed, moved to London last summer to shoot “Catastrophe,” a sitcom he co-created with “Pulling” star Sharon Horgan. The comedy, about a couple who have an unexpected pregnancy after a brief affair, just finished its first season on the U.K.’s Channel 4 and will arrive in the U.S. via Amazon Prime this spring. For now, Delaney, 38, is briefly back in America for a stand-up tour that brings him to D.C. on Saturday. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)
You grew up there, didn’t you? Yeah, I’m from Boston. I love London, but I love the U.S. I mean, most of it. Boston and D.C. anyway. You moved your family to London so you could work on your TV show. Was it tough to move the family to a new country? My kids are 3 and 2, so they’re

reasonably OK with it. My wife also worked in the U.S. and she’s not able to right now [in England], visa-wise, so that stinks. I’m very grateful that my wife agreed to come. Otherwise, it’s been totally great. England’s wonderful. You’ll continue living in London because “Catastrophe” was picked up for a second season. How did you end up working with Sharon Horgan? I was a fan of hers and she, like, barely knew who I was — she knew I was a comedian and had seen my stand-up. We became friendly and realized we had a
lot in common: We’ve both been married for about a decade each, we both have two kids, and we both care about a lot of the same stuff, laugh at a lot of the same stuff, so it just seemed like a natural fit. A lot of the things we laugh a lot about are men and women problems. For Americans who don’t know about the series, what can we expect? An American advertising executive is in London for a work trip and he meets an Irish schoolteacher and they have sexual intercourse for one week and
How has your comedy evolved since your first special, “Live at the Bowery Ballroom”? I’m older, I’m angier, I’m happier — I’m just more.

Boogie on, reggae man BOOKS There are two records that D.C. native Gary Himelfarb, 60, credits with turning him on to the music that would become his life’s work: Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Catch a Fire” and Jimmy Cliff’s “The Harder They Come” soundtrack. Himelfarb, who produces music under the name Doctor Dread and founded the reggae label RAS Records, was still a teenager when he heard those seminal ’70s records, but he hasn’t forgotten the feeling of hearing them for the first time. “I clearly remember sitting on MacArthur Boulevard that day, listening to those two reggae records and just being blown away,” he says. “Those two records really hipped me to this other type of culture, this revolutionary type attitude, and it resonated with me. “My friend who played [them] for me likes to say, ‘I created a monster.’ ” That moment spurred a lifelong passion for reggae and Jamaican culture that led Himelfarb to produce music, release records, promote shows and even create a line of Jamaican foods. His latest project is a memoir, “The Half That’s Never Been Told,” which Himelfarb will discuss Saturday at Politics and Prose alongside

Producer Doctor Dread is still high on the music that changed his life
Gary Himelfarb (aka Doctor Dread), left, poses with the late Gregory Isaacs, one of the many reggae stars the producer discusses in his new memoir.
Elder Rastafari Ras Iris. As a teenager growing up in Chevy Chase, Himelfarb started collecting reggae records, buying as many as he could from West Indian Record Mart, which was then at the epicenter of D.C.’s Jamaican community, the corner of Georgia Avenue and Columbia Road. The store’s manager “took the time to let this white kid in on reggae, ska and Jamaica,” Himelfarb says. By 1979, Himelfarb had traveled to Jamaica
“I clearly remember sitting on MacArthur Boulevard that day, listening to those two reggae records and just being blown away.” GARY HIMELFARB, on the Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff albums that hipped him to reggae
(which he affectionately calls his “first home,” even though he no longer owns a house there), brought back more records and started a radio show, “Night of the Living Dread,” on the freeform FM station WHFS, adopting the persona Doctor Dread. It wasn’t long before Himelfarb launched RAS — Real Authentic Sound — which, for a time, was America’s go-to label for reggae. Himelfarb would load up on albums on his trips to Jamaica, selling them back home. RAS would go on to sign artists like Israel Vibration, Inner Circle and Yellowman. In recent years, the Bethesda resident had been semiretired from the music business — RAS is no longer active — but he’s about to launch a new label, DDP, with a Barrington Levy acoustic LP as its first release. After all, it’s not like Himelfarb could — or would want to — leave his reggae roots behind. In fact, he was in Los Angeles during this interview and while discussing Bob Dylan, he stopped the conversation short. “I’m telling you the truth: A red, yellow and green minibus just went by, and it says ‘RastaBus.com,’ ” Himelfarb says. “That’s the kind of s--- that happens to me all the time.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

This would make your grandma’s water aerobics class even better! ‘GRUMPY OLD MEN’: Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon star as curmudgeons who think their new neighbor (Ann-Margret) is sexy. Which means old people think about sex. Which means my grandparents probably had sex at some point LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU. ‘THE STRAIGHT STORY’: Alvin loses his license but wants to see his dying brother. So he does what any ordinary grandpa would do: tells stories about WWII. And drives across Iowa and Wisconsin on his lawn mower. ‘ARSENIC AND OLD LACE’: It’s important to have hobbies in your old age. Spinster sisters Martha and Abby, for example, enjoy bridge, birdwatching, and killing guys and burying the bodies in their basement. ‘DRIVING MISS DAISY’: Anyone with a nice Southern grandma can smile at Jessica Tandy’s character here. And anyone who’s been driven around by their nice Southern grandma can definitely see why hiring a driver would be a good idea.

That’s one sweet record collection MUSIC For a label based solely on the musical taste and vision of one man, Carpark Records has had quite a 16-year run, helping break the careers of indie mainstays like Beach House, Toro y Moi and Dan Deacon. Founded in Manhattan in 1999 by record store clerk Todd Hyman, Carpark started as a
small-market haven for experimental dance artists. But then Hyman became fidgety. In 2005, he moved to the District and dropped Carpark’s narrow identity. “I got tired of [electronic music],” Hyman says. “When I [came] down to D.C., I got to the point where I was like, ‘I don’t think anyone really cares what kind of music we put out. I’m just going to put out whatever I like.’ ” The label is celebrating its Sweet 16 with a showcase Saturday at DC9 — headlined by Baltimore experimental vocal
Dan Deacon, ‘Spiderman of the Rings’ (2007) The kooky Baltimore-based artist’s Carpark debut managed to be both an infectious pop record and an extension of the giddy, manic energy of his always-unpredictable live shows. “One memorable experience is when he played at Pitchfork Festival” in 2007, Hyman says. “There were thousands of people there. It was insane. The fire department came and shut it down.”

Though it was the Baltimore dream pop act’s third record “Teen Dream” (released on Sub Pop in 2010) that catapulted it to mainstream attention, the duo’s warm, fragile sophomore release is nearly as good, featuring pre-eminent cuts like “Gila” and “Wedding Bell.” “It was very exciting,” Hyman says of the band’s rise to acclaim. “I remember they played CMJ, and you could just tell people were getting excited.”
Cloud Nothings, ‘Attack on Memory’ (2012)
Toro y Moi, ‘Anything in Return’ (2013)
After two releases of bratty, bouncy lo-fi — 2009’s “Turning On” (reissued on Carpark in 2010) and 2011’s self-titled album — the Cleveland band embraced a grittier punk sound with “Attack,” a record that helped contextualize its live sound. “I drove out to see them [perform] in Virginia in 2010 and I thought they were awesome,” Hyman says. “So much energy. After that [show] I asked if we could work together.”
Of all the well-known artists still on Carpark, Chaz Bundick’s indie dance outfit is likely the biggest, thanks, in part, to this irresistibly funky set, which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums charts. “I heard Chaz’s music on a blog for the first time and it was a real immediate thing,” Hyman says. “Within 24 hours of hearing it, I sent him an email saying how much I liked his music.”

Prep for KenCen’s fest with our glossary of arts influenced by Portugal and Spain
FESTIVALS Upon what empire does the sun never set? In the late 1500s, around 200 years before Britain made that claim, the answer was Spain and Portugal. With their early mastery of sailing and navigation, the nations laid claim to much of North and South America, and coastal Africa. The Iberian peninsula’s world dominance didn’t last long, but it had long-lasting effects, says Gilda Almeida, co-curator of “Iberian Suite: Global Arts Remix,” a three-week festival at the Kennedy Center that began earlier this week. “From that small peninsula is really where you start globalization,” she says. The resulting cultural collisions continue to this day. Bossa nova, for instance, fuses American jazz, Portuguese lyrics and African rhythms. Most art forms are blends of influences, adds co-curator Alicia Adams. “The culture that we have in this world is a shared culture, and it has come from a mixture of a lot of different people and concepts and ideas,” she says. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Royal St., Alexandria; 703-519-9110, bistrotroyal.com). Unlike Bastille, which puts a contemporary spin on French dishes, Bistrot Royal focuses on traditional preparations of chicken liver mousse, pommes frites and boeuf Bourguignon. “It’s much more old-school” than Bastille, Poteaux says.
Hunting Creek Steak This American restaurant comes from the owners of A la Luccia, an Italian bistro just up the street that opened in 2003. Unlike the double-sided broiler used by most steak houses, Hunting Creek (1106 King St., Alexandria; 703-836-5126, huntingcreeksteak.com) uses a charcoal-fired grill to cook steaks, fish and chicken evenly on both sides. “We sear it twice, and put it on the plate,” says chef Michael Nayeri, who insists quality ingredients speak for themselves and seasons meat simply with salt, pepper and rosemary.

FESTIVALS Leaping over open fires, feasting on foods rich with symbolism, and general merrymaking — these are all aspects of Nowruz, the springtime holiday that heralds the start of the Persian new year. Straddling the spring equinox (around March 20), this preIslamic festival, whose name means “new day,” has roots in the ancient, fire-revering Zoroastrian religion and is believed to be 3,000 years old. Today, Nowruz is observed in Iran and in parts of Turkey, Iraq, the Caucasus and Central Asia. “It’s about celebrating birth and renewal and spring.” says Massumeh Farhad, chief curator of the Freer and Sackler Galleries, which, on Saturday, will mark the start of the Persian year 1394 with the galleries’ seventh annual Nowruz festival. Here’s a guide to the free event’s highlights:
Kids can jump faux fires outside the Freer and Sackler on Saturday.
purification ritual of jumping over bonfires is one of the most popular Nowruz traditions. The Freer and Sackler, not wanting to risk igniting priceless art, offer child-friendly faux fires outside both galleries made of orange cloth “flames” blown by fans.
Gather around the table The centerpiece of any Nowruz celebration is the haft sin (meaning “seven s’s”), a table laid out with seven foods that each start with the letter “s” in Persian and have a symbolic meaning — including sprouts (rebirth), apples (health and beauty) and garlic (medicine) — along with items

classic Coen brothers film spawned an annual Lebowski Fest in Louisville, Ky., which has been going strong for more than a decade. Dude Fest in Arlington isn’t quite the same as that annual gathering, but there will be trivia, music from the movie and, of course, a screening of the film itself. The only question left: How many White Russians will you drink? Arlington

The indie-rock troupe is no stranger to playing in D.C., but this time the danceable and lovably weird band comes armed with a new album that dropped this week. “Aureate Gloom,” of Montreal’s 13th full-length, finds the Kevin Barnes-fronted group toying with guitar-based glam rock. Not that this current genre detour would prevent the band from playing fan favorites like “Gronlandic Edit” or “Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games).”
Comedian Maz Jobrani has made a successful career out of poking fun at his background as an IranianAmerican. Case in point: His current stand-up tour is called “I’m Not a Terrorist But I’ve Played One on TV.” Expect lots of biting, reflexive humor when he stops at the Warner Theatre this weekend. Warner

Luckily, Martin also has a comedic style all his own, with his onstage routine often including drawings that accent his non sequiturs. This weekend, he tapes his next special, “The Persistence of Jokes,” in D.C.

Country music tends to get a bad rap from music snobs, but last year’s “The Outsiders” — the fourth album by singer-guitarist Eric Church — seemed to woo even the genre’s harshest critics. The record debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and has yielded five singles, including slow-burning “Give Me Back My Hometown.” On Tuesday, Church headlines Verizon Center with indierock favorites Drive-By Truckers opening.
Mon. Julie Holland, ‘Moody Bitches’ With her new, eye-catchingly titled book “Moody Bitches,” psychiatrist Dr. Julie Holland tries to demistify the female psyche, delving into subjects like hormones, emotional repression and gender constructs. Ultimately, she argues that moodiness is a woman’s natural source of power. She’ll discuss these topics (and sign books) on Monday. Sixth and I Historic

‘The Sing-Off’ tour NBC’s reality show “The Sing-Off” is for those of you who get nostalgic for their college a cappella troupes and have already bought advanced tickets for the “Pitch Perfect 2” premiere. On Saturday, groups who competed on the series — including Voice Play, Street Corner Symphony and The Exchange — show off their vocal acrobatics live in D.C.
“Bound 2.” But the R&B crooner has had quite the career himself, recording 15 albums with his group The Gap Band and scoring charttopping hits like the song “Without You.” On Sunday, he’ll hit Verizon Center in support of the album “Forever Charlie,” which dropped in January.

‘Soon’ As the cold weather and snow continue to pummel D.C., it’s hard not consider what the end of the world must be like.

After this winter, it sure sounds nicer than another day of freezing temperatures — end of the world or not.

FXX’s “Man Seeking Woman” is the best comedy that no one is watching. And no, I’m not just saying that: The Feb. 11 episode of the half-hour series drew just over 98,000 viewers — a paltry number for any TV show. Yet FXX, which mostly airs “Simpsons” reruns, must not care much for ratings, because the network just renewed the sitcom for another season. (Two more Season 1 episodes air Wednesdays at 10:30 p.m.) I’ve really been enjoying “Man Seeking Woman,” because it’s unlike almost anything else on TV, even if the premise is common: Jay Baruchel (“This Is the End”) stars as Josh, a temp in his late 20s who just broke up with his girlfriend of several years. Lanky, awkward and mumbly, Josh re-enters the dating pool. That’s when things get weird. In the pilot, Josh’s sister sets him up with a troll. Literally, a troll, who lives under a bridge. Later, he meets his ex’s new man, Adolf Hitler (played by Bill Hader). He was alive and in hiding for years, but everyone’s

totally cool with him now. “Man Seeking Woman” thrives in such moments. In another episode, Josh, his sister and his best friend, Mike (Eric Andre), scheme with military commanders to determine the text message Josh should send a girl he just met. “Man Seeking Woman” may have hit its peak last week, when it sent Josh to hell (actual, biblical hell) for a wedding. There’s perhaps no better metaphor for the pitfalls of modern romance than a destination wedding in the underworld.

Can’t quite get behind the MTV Movie Awards SONY; UNIVERSAL; TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX; PARAMOUNT
The MTV Movie Awards, which will air April 12 with host Amy Schumer, announced its full list of nominees Wednesday. Unlike the more prestigious ceremonies, MTV’s version of the Academy Awards features not just categories like movie of the year and best female and male performances, but also “best shirtless performance,” “best scared-as-s--t performance” and “best fight,” naturally. Even operating under the MTV worldview, these four Golden Popcorn categories are completely bizarre. CAITLIN DEWEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Best shirtless performance
Best on-screen transformation
Best scared-as-s--t performance
Breakthrough performance
NOMINEES: Ansel Elgort, “The Fault in Our Stars”; Channing Tatum, “Foxcatcher”; Chris Pratt, “Guardians of the Galaxy”; Kate Upton, “The Other Woman”; Zac Efron, “Neighbors”
NOMINEES: Annabelle Wallis, “Annabelle”; Dylan O’Brien, “The Maze Runner”; Jennifer Lopez, “The Boy Next Door”; Rosamund Pike, “Gone Girl”; Zach Gilford, “The Purge: Anarchy”
NOMINEES: Ansel Elgort, “The Fault in Our Stars”; David Oyelowo, “Selma”; Dylan O’Brien, “The Maze Runner”; Ellar Coltrane, “Boyhood”; Rosamund Pike, “Gone Girl”
HUH? It’s no surprise to

see Efron here (he won last year for “That Awkward Moment”), but Tatum’s inclusion is just absurd. Putting a sexual spin on a based-on-a-true-story psychological drama about a murderous billionaire seems wrong and ignores the subject altogether.
HUH? An actor evoking a crippling disease, another wearing a prosthetic nose — those are legitimate. But the transformation in “Boyhood”? That’s called “puberty.” Coltrane’s change over the 12 years it took to film the movie really just happened.
movie means alarmed gasps and widened eyes. That doesn’t even begin to describe Pike’s performance in “Gone Girl.” Her spot in the “best villain” category is far more fitting. Spoiler alert: It’s hard to feel empathy for a cold-blooded murderer.
HUH? Starring in a scary
HUH? Listen, just because MTV hasn’t heard of someone doesn’t mean no one else has. Oyelowo has been a working actor since 1998. He was in “Lincoln,” “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” and “Interstellar” — and that’s just since 2011. As for Pike? She was a Bond girl, for goodness sake.

“No word yet on what percentage of the country’s irony reserves were drained as a result of FEMA responding to its reveal of a dry, minor plot point from a television show as if it was an emergency …” JOSHUA ALSTON AT AVCLUB.COM isn’t
amused by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s attempts to amend an Internet faux pas. The agency tweeted a minor plot spoiler from “House of Cards” on Monday, then later said it would consider a pre-emptive “spoiler alert” warning next time.
“Don’t see this ending well: Monica Lewinsky giving a TED talk on need for more compassionate social media environment” @JACQUELINEMNB understands the way Internet trolls work and anticipates an ugly response to Lewinsky’s TED talk. Announced Tuesday, the former White House intern who gained infamy because of an affair with President Bill Clinton will talk about “a safer and more compassionate social media environment.” Lewinsky has recently started to speak publicly about her experiences after the scandal, specifically becoming an anti-bullying activist. She is scheduled to speak at a TED event in Vancouver, Canada, on March 19.

“McDonald’s announced they’ll stop buying chicken with antibiotics. Proves, as consumers, we have some power.” @FRANCISVILLAINS is pleased with
the decision of McDonald’s to begin phasing out chicken from birds treated with antibiotics, announced Wednesday. Antibiotic-laced chicken is a concern because it helps foster antibioticresistant “super bugs.” McDonald’s is one of the largest buyers of chicken in the U.S., so the move is likely to have a major impact on the poultry industry, according to The New York Times.

“Vince Vaughn has rolled out his very own stock photos in promotion of his upcoming comedy, “Unfinished Business.” Hint: They are WAY better than the real thing.” MICHELLE GESLANI AT CONSEQUENCEOFSOUND.NET is
impressed by the marketing of Twentieth Century Fox and Getty Image’s iStock for the movie’s Friday release. Vaughn, right, Dave Franco, middle, and Tom Wilkinson posed for over-the-top stock photos to promote the film. The 12 cheesy images are available for editorial use.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your hopes are high, but hopes alone don’t get it done. You’re going to have to dig a little deeper than usual. ARIES (March 21-April 19) A rival may consider you unstoppable, but you know your weaknesses. You must protect against becoming vulnerable at any time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You must be willing to experiment freely until you hit upon the thing that works best for you and those on your team. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others are looking to you for guidance at this time. You may not know how to lead with words, but you can certainly do so with deeds. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re doing well, and your thoughts are likely to turn to the next step — albeit a bit prematurely, perhaps.

TODAY: Snow is likely falling across most of the area after sunrise — if not, shortly thereafter. Snowfall reaches its peak during the morning into early afternoon. Winds blow around 10 mph from the north. Some light snow may persist into the early evening. When all is done, about 4-10 inches is on the ground across the area.

Chris has a new loved one to disappoint
Chicago economy collapses Oprah Winfrey will close Harpo Studios in Chicago, where she filmed “The Oprah Winfrey Show” for more than 20 years, this December, and will transition production for her cable network, OWN, to a studio in California. And maybe to Hawaii, as well, the New York Post reported. Sources told the Post that Winfrey has built a studio at her home in Maui and plans to run OWN from there. (EXPRESS)
Chris Brown has a 9-month-old daughter, TMZ reported on Tuesday. The mother, identified by TMZ as a former model named Nia, has known Brown for several years, according to unnamed sources. The pair are on good terms, but are not involved romantically, the sources said. There doesn’t seem to be a formal child support agreement in place. Brown’s sometimes-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, immediately tweeted, “Listen. One can only take so much. The best of luck to Chris and his family. No baby drama for me.” Brown has yet to comment on the story. (EXPRESS)
