Gay-Rights Battles Still Ahead Despite progress in 2013, issue is still complex for many
On Monday in Maine, a congressman running for governor came out as gay. In Hawaii, lawmakers girded for a vote to legalize samesex marriage. In the U.S. Senate, seven Republicans joined the Democrats in a landmark step toward banning workplace discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. On Tuesday, historic votes in the Illinois legislature positioned that state to become the largest in the heartland to legalize gay marriage. From one end of the country to the other, the developments on Monday and Tuesday underscored what a historic year 2013 has been for the U.S. gay-rights movement — “the gayest year in gay history,” according to Fred Sainz of the Human Rights Campaign, the movement’s largest advocacy group. Yet each of the developments, while hera lded by ac a t iv ists,

Illinois Votes on Gay Marriage Illinois was set Tuesday to become the 15th state and largest in the heartland to allow same-sex couples to marry, following months of arduous lobbying efforts by both sides in President Barack Obama’s home state. Under the measure, which the House approved 61-54, gay weddings could be held in Illinois starting in June. The state Senate, which approved it in February, was expected to vote later Tuesday on a technical change allowing the new effective date. The bill would then head to Gov. Pat Quinn, who has pledged to sign it. Fourteen states plus Washington, D.C., allow same-sex marriage. (AP)
In Brief
revealed ways in which the gayrights debate remains complex and challenging for many Americans. Republicans, for example, are increasingly split on how to address gay-rights issues — some want to expand their party’s following, while others want to satisfy the religious conservatives who make up a key part of the base. More than 40 percent of Americans remain opposed to legalizing same-sex marriage. Richard Socarides, a former Clinton White House adviser on gay issues, said he was on the Senate floor in 1996 when an earlier version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act lost by a single vote. “It’s poignant for me that it’s taken 17 years to get another vote on something as basic as workplace discrimination,” he said. “Even t hough we’re ma king rapid progress on marriage equality, and the entire movement seems unstoppable, there are still big pockets of resistance,” Socarides added. “It’s going to cost a lot of money and require a lot of work to get us to where anti-gay discrimination no longer exists.” DAVID CR ARY (AP)

Tune in … this is going to be fun! –mo.” “It’s good to have you back,” Obama said to one of the first guests. ( THE WASHINGTON POST )

Study: Testosterone Use Risky Chicago Testosterone treatments may increase risks for heart attacks, strokes and death in older men with low hormone levels and other health problems, a Veterans Affairs study suggests. The results raise concerns about the widely used testosterone gels, patches or injections that are heavily marketed for low sex drive, fatigue and purported anti-aging benefits, the authors and other doctors said. Men who used testosterone were 30 percent more likely to have a heart attack or stroke or die during a three-year period than men with low hormone levels who didn’t take the supplements. Hormone users and nonusers were in their early 60s on average, and most had other health problems including high blood pressure,

In the study, nearly 26 percent of men using testosterone had one of the bad outcomes within three years of the heart test, compared with 20 percent of nonusers. It’s unclear how the hormone might increase heart risks. Dr. Nathaniel Polnaszek, a urologist with Scott & White Healthcare in Round Rock, Texas, said he prescribes testosterone for many men, mostly in their 40s and 50s. He called the study “concerning.” “This is something I’m going to be discussing with my patients,” he said. LINDSEY TANNER (AP)

Toronto Mayor Admits He Smoked Crack Ford refuses to step down from post after owning up to drug use
Rob Ford said Tuesday that he loves his job and will stay on as mayor of Toronto despite admitting for the first time that he smoked crack. Earlier Tuesday, Ford acknowledged he smoked crack “probably a year ago” when he was in a “drunken stupor” but balked at growing pressure on him to resign. “I was elected to do a job and that’s exactly what I’m going to continue doing,” Ford said. “On Oct. 27 of 2014, I want the people of this great city to decide whether they want Rob Ford to be their mayor.” The allegations that the mayor of Canada’s largest city had been caught on video smoking crack surfaced in news reports in May.

“Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors a year ago.” — TORONTO M AYOR ROB FORD, WHO ADMITTED TUESDAY THAT HE HAD SMOKED CRACK IN 2012
initially insisted the video didn’t exist, sidestepped questions about whether he had ever smoked crack and rebuffed growing calls on him to step down. The mayor was forced to backtrack after police said last week that they had obtained a copy of the video in the course of a drug investigation against a friend of Ford’s. “Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine,” Ford said Tuesday. “There have been times when I’ve been in a drunken stupor. That’s why I want to see the tape. I want everyone in the city to see this tape. I don’t even recall there being a tape or video. I want to see the state that I was in.” City Councilor Denzil MinnanWong, a member of Ford’s executive committee, said he would put forward a motion asking Ford to take a leave of absence. Canada’s Justice Minister Peter MacKay said it was “a sad day for
Ford’s Bad Behavior The crack episode is not the first time Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has made controversial headlines.
During his mayoral campaign, Ford acknowledged after repeated denials that he was busted for marijuana possession in 1999. He has been accused of making an obscene gesture from his car and texting while driving. Earlier this year, Ford was fired from his cherished side-job as a volunteer high school football coach after he made disparaging remarks to a TV network about parents and their kids. (AP)

the city of Toronto.” “As a human being, I think the mayor of Toronto needs to get help,” MacKay said. Ford told the Toronto Sun newspaper that he is not quitting. “I feel like I got 1,000 pounds off my back,” Ford told the paper. “I felt like I had to say it. It is what it is. I feel 2 inches high right now but I needed to deal with it. I am not going to quit or take a leave.”
The Redskins logo has found itself in the middle of controversy lately, but on Tuesday, it got some international exposure. During a news conference to admit that he has, in fact, smoked crack, embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford wore a tie with a Redskins logo prominently displayed. The tie appears to also have other NFL logos on it. SAR AH KOGOD (THE WASHINGTON POST )

It started with a routine check by German tax inspectors — and resulted in the discovery of an art hoard so vast that no one yet knows how the story truly ends. On a high-speed train from Zurich to Munich on Sept. 22, 2010, Germany’s briskly polite officialdom was on the lookout for customs and tax cheats. Thousands of German citizens had bank accounts in Switzerland, many of them undeclared, and the route from Zurich was a prime target for those carrying substantial sums of cash. One elderly man was carrying enough cash that prosecutors launched a preliminary tax probe against him. Two years later, in February 2012, the trail led to the man’s apartment. When customs investigators entered it, they found a huge collection of hidden artwork

that sheds new light on some of the 20th century’s master painters and reawakens painful memories of Germany’s Nazi past. T he pa int ings, draw ings, engravings, woodcuts and prints numbered more than 1,400 in all, created by an all-star roster of modern art, including Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Investigators’ excitement at the
find was tempered by a disturbing question. At least some of the works had apparently been seized by the Nazis — so who were they taken from and who now are their rightful owners? Investigators, aided by a leading art historian, are trying to establish the artworks’ legal status and the history behind them. Prosecutor Reinhard Nemetz
said investigators have turned up “concrete evidence” that the find includes both works that the Nazis classed as “degenerate art” and seized from German museums in 1937 or shortly after, and other works that may have been taken from individuals. Art historian Meike Hoffmann, an expert on “degenerate art” at the Free University of Berlin, offered a glimpse of some of the works during a slide show at a news conference. She showed works she said had not been known to scholars, or known only from documents. Hoffmann was elated with the quality and the depth of the find. “When you stand in front of the works, see the ones that were long thought to have been lost or destroyed and in a relatively good state — some of them dirty but not damaged — you have an incredible feeling of happiness,” she said.

two major transportation programs are in a somewhat similar place. They are both wrapping up construction and approaching a
final testing phase. Each needs to get operators and staff familiar with the system and have the federal government sign off on safe-
ty issues. Each is going to open somewhat later than optimists had once projected. And neither project has committed to a specific opening date. District officials no longer hope to open streetcars for passengers in 2013, though they do expect to have them out for testing on the route by the end of the year. As developed so far, the program is costing about $161 million, almost all of it from D.C. funds. Other programs, such as Maryland’s Purple Line or Arlington’s Columbia Pike light rail, hope for big infusions of federal money to help with construction. ROBERT THOMSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

During a 90-minute test at Foggy Bottom, just two passengers called the Metro tip line (202-962-2121), and an hourlong test at Metro Center produced the same result. (E XPRESS)

Choices in the governor’s race left many unexcited Richmond
Voters turned out across Virginia on Tuesday to choose a new governor in a race defined by the bitter attacks between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. A third candidate, libertarian Robert Sarvis, also was on the ballot. In interviews, many Virginians described their votes as more an expression of disgust for the opponent than support for either McAuliffe or Cuccinelli. “I wish we had better candidates,” lamented Brent Lander as he left his Arlington polling place. Other voters said they were fed up with the race’s nasty tone.

D.C. Picks Walter Reed Developer The former hospital site will be made into a new town center Washington D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and his economic development team have selected a group led by Hines Interests, of Houston, to oversee efforts to transform the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center into a 3 million-square-foot town center project. The choice ends a monthslong competition among Hines and two other finalists to be named master developer of the former hospital, which closed in 2011 and where the D.C. government is moving to acquire nearly 67 acres. With a proposal called “The Parks at Walter Reed,” Hines and partners Urban Atlantic and Triden Development won the endorsement of both community groups and Vic-

tor Hoskins, deputy mayor for planning and economic development. The companies plan 2,097 residential units, a mix of townhomes, duplexes and apartments, as well as 250,000 square feet of retail and 20 acres of open space. The housing would include 318 residential units subsidized below market rate and a 73-unit senior living community. The original hospi-
tal building would become a hotel and conference facility by Hyatt and Crescent Hotels & Resorts, part of a commerce and science center with space for George Washington University and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology “Fab Lab,” aimed at spurring location innovation. Walter Reed gives Hines another long-term D.C. project now that CityCenter’s 520,000 square feet of office space, 458 apartments and 216 condominiums are nearly done. A major next step will be securing control of the Walter Reed campus from the Army, which still maintains and secures it. Hoskins said he was not sure yet what it might cost to acquire the property or who would pay for it. Also uncertain is whether the Walter Reed redevelopment will require subsidies from the District, but Hoskins stressed that Wegmans and other retailers were very interested.

A Personality Problem Obama’s favorability, once a sure bet, is showing long-term signs of wear Washington For years, President Barack Obama’s personal favorability ratings served as a political firewall that sustained him through an economic recession, grueling fights with congressional Republicans and the grind of a reelection campaign. But after a rough start to Obama’s second term, Americans increasingly view the president unfavorably. And perhaps most concerning for the White House: An analysis of public polling shows it has become more difficult for Obama to fully rebound from dents in his favorability ratings. “It’s a slow cumulative effect,” Republican pollster David Winston said, adding that personal favorability “is a much harder number to move if it starts to go south.” The public’s increasingly negative view of Obama may be less of a concern for his future given that this is his last term. But the president still needs a strong con-
nection with the public in order to rally Americans around his policies and, in turn, to show Congress he remains politically relevant at a time when lame-duck status lurks. The president’s advisers need only look at Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, to see the impact of a crumbling public persona. Positive impressions of the Republican trailed off in early 2005 amid public frustration with the Iraq War and the government’s flawed response to Hurricane Katrina.
“For the president, [his favorability] meant that people have cared about what he had to say because they liked him.” — CELINDA L A K E , A DEMOCRATIC POLLSTER
Bush’s favorability rating never recovered, and he struggled to fulfill significant goals through the rest of his presidency. A series of recent polls show Obama’s personal favorability now leaning negative, including
an NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll released last week that found positive views of Obama at 41 percent, the lowest point of his presidency and down 6 points from earlier in October. The drop follows the government shutdown, problems during his health-care law’s rollout and a flood of revelations about U.S. government spying. White House officials blame the shutdown in particular for Obama’s falling favorability, given that it resulted in shuttering many federal services and furloughs for hundreds of thousands of Americans, while again highlighting the troubled ties between the president and

Capitol Hill. But Obama aides note that the impact of the shutdown on congressional Republicans has been even worse, with both their personal and job performance ratings at record lows. The president’s favorability has taken hits during other points in his presidency. Although it improved a bit after each hit, he never fully recovered, with each rating rebound peaking below earlier average favorability ratings. Throughout Obama’s presidency, his job-approval and personalfavorability ratings have generally risen and fallen in tandem. But his favorability numbers, which often reflect the public’s gut reaction to a politician, generally remained the more positive of the two. That, the president’s supporters argue, made the public more likely to give him a chance even when they disagreed with his policies or the direction the country was headed. The question for the White Hou se now i s whe t her t hat dynamic will hold if the public’s personal opinions of the president continue to sour. An Associated Press-GfK poll from early October found that 52 percent of Americans didn’t think Obama was very honest and were split on whether he was even likable. JENNIFER AGIESTA AND JULIE PACE (AP)
Complications With Obama’s Health-Care Message It sounded so simple. Too simple, it turns out. President Barack Obama’s early efforts to boil down an intricate health-care law so Americans could understand it are coming back to haunt him. Some examples of the caveats and provisos left in place of the pithy claims he once used to sell the law:
Keep Your Coverage
Enrollment Is Easy
It’s a ‘Good Deal’
What he said: “If you like your healthcare plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan, period.”
What he said: The enrollment experience would be simple: Hop online and comparison-shop “the same way you’d shop for a plane ticket on Kayak or a TV on Amazon.”
What he said: “You can get health insurance for what may be the equivalent of your cellphone bill or your cable bill, and that’s a good deal.”
What happened: Instead of a period, the statement required an asterisk. It turned out that, yes, some plans would be taken away as an indirect result of the law’s tougher standards.
What happened: Instead, as the entire country now knows, October revealed a website disaster.
What happened: A good deal, indeed — for those who qualify for federal subsidies to offset the cost. But not for all. By last week, the president had added a new line to his health-care speech: “There’s a fraction of Americans with higher incomes who will pay more on the front end for better insurance.” (AP)

Wizards are winless after three games for a third straight year
Nothing New Here’s how the Wizards have fared in their first three games of the previous 10 seasons:
Wizards
Season 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14
The head coach’s wallet is $20,000 lighter after he was fined for cursing his team’s effort on defense — after the second game of the season. The reluctant starting center, who spent all summer resting to get healthy, barely survived one game before being sidelined with a leg ailment.
The point guard who has been locked up with an $80 million extension has already experienced a flare-up of back spasms. The promising shooting guard has a player efficiency rating that’s less than the number of fingers on his off-target shooting hand. And the starting power forward has a jammed index finger on his left shooting hand. So, no, the Washington Wizards haven’t started the season the way they would have liked. For the third straight year — and the fifth time in the past seven seasons — the Wizards are 0-3 and have an unforgiving schedule ahead, with the next five games against the surprising Philadelphia 76ers (tonight) followed by playoff contenders in Brooklyn, Oklahoma City, Dallas and San Antonio.
CHRIS TROTMAN (GETTY IMAGES)
7 P.M. Today | CSN
Coach Randy Wittman was fined $20,000 for cursing during a news conference.
Stumbling out of the gate has been an annual tradition for the Wizards. In the 10 seasons since Ernie Grunfeld took over as general manager, the Wizards have had a winning record after three games only three times. Even in its most recent playoff season, in 2007-08, the team started 0-5 before going on to finish the regular season 43-39. “There is still a lot of things we can improve on, and we will improve on. It’s early in the sea-
son,” second-year shooting guard Bradley Beal said. “We still got a lot of strides to make. We’ve got more than enough time to do it.” Beal is third on the team in scoring at 15.3 points per game, but he has gotten off to a rough start shooting. He has missed 34 of his 50 field goal attempts and leads the team with 13 turnovers, which has resulted in a personal efficiency rating of 3.7, nearly 11 points below the league average. Teams have crowded the 20-year-old Beal

and gotten physical with him, but he’s confident he can adjust. “What frustrates me is the fact that I can’t get the shot that I necessarily want,” Beal said. “It’s a sign of respect. But it’s a sign that I need to learn to move without the ball more and find my teammates as well.” The NBA fined coach Randy Wittman on Monday for using coarse language on Friday to explain that the Wizards lost their first two games because of a failure to commit on defense. The Wizards entered Tuesday’s games ranked last in the NBA in opponent’s field goal percentage (51.2) and 29th in points allowed per game (108.3). “We need a win,” Wizards forward Trevor Ariza said. “Doesn’t matter what part of the season it is, you have to win. … Last year, we lost a lot and I think it’s time for a change.”
Wizards road games in their first eight contests. They also play 16 road games in the first two months, compared to just 12 at Verizon Center.

Thomas on All-America Team Again Women’s Basketball Maryland’s Alyssa Thomas was selected for the second straight year to The Associated Press preseason All-America team. The senior forward had a great year last season, averaging 18.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists a game. “It’s pretty special to be named a preseason All-American again because there’s a lot of really good players out there,” Thomas said. “I know we all just work hard and try to be the best we can. It’s great to be in that group again.” Thomas was joined on the team by Stanford’s Chiney Ogwumike (who was a unanimous selection), Baylor’s Odyssey Sims and UConn teammates Kaleena MosquedaLewis and Breanna Stewart. The Terps enter the season ranked No. 8 in the AP top 25 women’s basketball poll. (AP)

When the Redskins were 1-4, Garcon said Griffin and the offense can’t rely solely on what worked last year: “As you get older in this league, you’ve got to be able to adjust to what the defense is doing or you’re not going to be ahead of the game.” Then, last week, Garcon said the passing game stinks.

Garcon on Tuesday, Griffin had his typically diplomatic answer. “We both want to win,” Griffin said. “Whenever you have two guys — your quarterback and your top receiver — that want to win football games, they’re going to be competitive. I think that’s a great formula for success. Pierre’s going to be Pierre; I’ll be myself. And on that field together, we’ve shown that we can do some really good things.’ ” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)

Brennan Brings Winning Past to AU Eagles coach to make his debut on the road against the Patriots Mike Brennan spent the previous six college basketball seasons as an assistant coach — two at American followed by four years at Georgetown — and during that time, his teams never won fewer than 21 games in a season. That string could come to an end in his first season as the head coach for the Eagles. American was 10-20 last season and was picked to finish ninth out of 10 teams in the Patriot League this season by coaches and sports information directors. New league member Boston University was picked to finish first while Navy was pegged for last.
Friday
“We certainly have our work cut out for us,” said Brennan, a 1994 Princeton grad who played professional basketball in Europe. “Our schedule is more than demanding. I think our guys are preparing well.” That preparation will be put to the test early when American opens the season Friday at George Mason, a first-year member of the Atlantic 10 Conference. The Patriots, 22-16 last season, return all five starters and have won at least 22 games in four of the past five years. “They are a strong program,” Brennan said. “I know they have a veteran team. I know [the Patriot Center] is a difficult place to play. It is going to be a great test for our guys.”

Schoof (9.6 points per game) and Tony Wroblicky (7.8) return. Brennan, after seven seasons as an assistant at Princeton, was an assistant under Jeff Jones at American from 2007 to 2009, and the Eagles had a program-best mark of 24-8 in 2008-09. After last season, Jones, a former standout at Virginia, took over at Old Dominion. “I am happy to be back in the Patriot League,” Brennan said. Brennan was a four-year starter at Princeton under legendary Hall of Fame head coach Pete Carril. Now in his first head coaching gig, Brennan noted the Patriot League connections of Carril. “He played at Lafayette and coached at Lehigh. He was the most important basketball influence in my life,” Brennan said. “He brought a level of intensity to every practice. I am going to try and emulate that.” DAVID DRIVER (FOR E XPRESS)
‘SIGNIFICANT’ INJURY
Missing Rodgers? Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a fractured left collarbone and doesn’t know how long he’ll be out. Rodgers described the injury on his weekly radio show on 540 AM ESPN on Tuesday. The 2011 NFL MVP was hurt after getting sacked while he was scrambling outside the pocket during the Packers’ first series Monday. He hurt his left, non-throwing shoulder. Rodgers called his injury “significant” and said he was in “some pain.” The Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. (AP)

Lost Himself
JASON DECROW (AP)
Late-night comedy got more crowded last month with the debut of two new series vying for eyeballs at midnight. “The Pete Holmes Show” (Mon.Thu., TBS) and “@midnight” (Mon.Thu., Comedy Central) both feature affable hosts in comedians Pete Holmes, above, and Chris Hardwick. Holmes’ show is more traditional, with a monologue, a sketch and an interview. The twist is that the show is all about Holmes. His monologue is not By Rudi topical and feels more Greenberg like quick hits from his stand-up (something other hosts should consider). And his interviews, which have mostly been with his comedian friends, are as much about him as the guest. This could come off as self-indulgent, but as someone most of America doesn’t know, it all helps to give viewers a sense of who he is. “@midnight” is a pseudo game show that manages to do the impossible: make Twitter work on TV. A rotating panel of three comics earns points by telling the difference between real tweets and fake ones, making up hashtags and writing fake Yelp reviews. It’s all very silly and fleeting, but the way it translates how comedians act online to on screen — without sacrificing laughs — is revolutionary.
Eminem fails to make much noise in his new album, released Tuesday.
Rebellion ends at the moment of embrace. This moment is where we find Eminem with his “The Marshall Mathers LP 2,” engaged in an alternate version of Judd Apatow’s “This is 40.” The first “Marshall Mathers LP” transcended genre. It was wincingly profane, emotionally unnerving, and captured the millennial zeitgeist. As Eminem put it: The underground spun around and did a 360. But his aims on this new disc are vague. “I’m all out of Backstreet Boys to attack,” he laments on “Evil Twin,” a rare highlight from “MMLP2.” The semi-sequel finds him at a crossroads, scanning the horizon of broken-up boy bands and faded pop stars he once reviled. “Who’s left? Lady Gaga? Mess with the Bieber? Nah,” he continues. It’s an honest admission that the war is over. Yet much of the album ironically finds him lobbing stale and dated pop culture salvos toward a world where CNN brings next-day analysis of Miley Cyrus twerking. He’s the last one still making jokes about Kevin Federline, Lorena Bobbit and O.J. Simpson. The Rick Rubin-produced lead single “Berzerk” intimated that “MMLP2” would be Eminem’s
throwback album, but Rubin’s contributions seem to mostly comprise exhuming old Zombies and Joe Walsh loops over which Eminem can express his confusion about Facebook and Internet downloading. Eminem’s syllable manipulation and rhyming agility remains staggering. As he repeatedly boasts, his rap god legacy is secure. But success has validated his worst musical decisions and Sam’s Club tastes. Since “Lose Yourself,” Eminem has increasingly incorporated atonal nasally hooks and grumpy-dad growls. But they lack all build and

He mistakes architectural complexity for advancement. The raps are technical metal guitar solos that go nowhere. The flows are dazzling but lack the elasticity and playful wit of Eminem’s early brilliance. A lbert Camus described a rebel as a “man who says no.” “MMLP2” is the sound of Eminem saying yes. In 2000, he was the monster. In 2013, he’s “friends with the monsters under his bed.” Marshall Mathers may still command a nation of millions, but he’s lost the ability to see their faces. JEFF WEISS (THE WASHINGTON POST )
CBS Would Rather Not: The 50th-anniversary coverage of the Kennedy assassination on CBS News won’t include the recollections of its longtime anchor Dan Rather, 82 — further proof of the lingering bitterness following Rather’s messy exit and subsequent lawsuit against the network. Rather helped organize CBS’ plans for President John F. Kennedy’s visit to Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, and as a young reporter was a key component of assassination coverage. (AP)

Bobby Parker, a soul-blues singer and guitarist whose recordings from the late 1950s and 1960s influenced John Lennon, Carlos Santana and Led Zeppelin, died Thursday in Bowie, Md. He was 76 and lived in Temple Hills, Md. The cause was a heart attack, said friend Omar Ashaka. The Washington-based guitarist wrote two much-covered hit recordings on the rhythm-and-blues charts: “Blues Get Off My Shoulder” (1958), a somber blues ballad enlivened by his trenchant guitar work, and “Watch Your Step” (1961). “Watch Your Step,” recorded at Edgewood Studios at 16th and K streets in D.C. for V-Tone records, was a hit in the U.S. and England. The song’s insistent riff, which Parker said evolved from the AfroCuban jazz composition “Manteca,” caught on with the mod subculture in London. Jefferson Airplane, Santana and the Spencer Davis Group (with singer Steve Winwood) all covered the song. Its guitar motif was reprised in Led Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick” and the 1962 instrumental “The Black Widow” by fellow Washington guitarist Link Wray. The influence of “Watch Your Step” extended to Lennon of The Beatles, who acknowledged in a 1974 radio interview that “Day Tripper” and “I Feel Fine” were attempts to write songs built on variations of the riff. However, Parker reaped few rewards from the song’s success. He sold the copyright to V-Tone records owner Ivan Mogull for a pittance in the early 1970s. “I didn’t do my homework when it came to [copyright] protections,” he later told The Washington Post.
CRAIG HERNDON (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Obituary
Late Washington-based guitarist Bobby Parker jams during a rehearsal in 1983.
“Bobby Parker is a musician of the same caliber as Albert King and Albert Collins. He’s one of the few remaining guitarists on this planet who can pierce your heart and soothe your soul.” — CA RLOS SA NTANA, TO GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE IN 1996
“We just cut songs. And all of them got away from me.” In the 1990s, Parker returned to the national limelight with two critically acclaimed albums for the New Orleans label Black Top Records, “Bent Out Of Shape” (1993) and “Shine Me Up” (1995), and later toured with Carlos Santana. Parker was born Aug. 31, 1937, in Lafayette, La., and raised in Los Angeles. He settled in Washington, where he led his own band throughout the early 1960s. His regular local engagements included the Tip Top Club in Bladensburg, Md., and the Flamingo Club in the District. TERENCE McARDLE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Get a Puppet Master’s UConn expands its unique arts program, one of only a handful offered in the U.S.

spent his last day like thousands of graffiti artists before him: He tagged a building near a highway with his name in giant bubble letters. The twist was that these letters were actual bubbles: balloon-like inflatables stuck to a wall near the Long Island Expressway in Queens. Throughout his 31 days there, Banksy put pictures of his work on BanksyNY.com, with clues as to locations. That spawned a treasure hunt by fans who tracked the works down, shared locations via social media, then swarmed to see them. He also sold some pieces, unadvertised, for $60 on the street.

To mark the occasion, UConn will host the 2015 national festival of Puppeteers of America and an international puppet festival. “The school, the president, the dean, have all embraced us, which wasn’t always the case,” Roccoberton said. “We were constantly on the cutting block.

“We were constantly on the cutting block. But they let us keep going. And now, here we are.”
Arts Education Tim Lagasse knows how to get to Sesame Street. He worked there. For him and many other puppeteers, the road goes through the University of Connecticut, one of only a few schools in the nation from which a student can earn a degree in puppet arts — and the only to offer a master’s. “They call us the UConn mafia,” said Lagasse, a 1992 graduate who now works for Disney, bringing to life the main character in the children’s TV show “Crash & Bernstein.” “You end up on any type of puppet project, and about 20 percent of the people on the job went to the University of Connecticut.” That number may grow as the university expands its puppetry program, which has become an international showcase for the school.

“With a name like Truxton Circle, you’d expect to find a traffic circle as you drive through the neighborhood; but one doesn’t exist.” — MARK WASHBURN AT DCCONDOBOUTIQUE .COM researches the history of Truxton
Circle, a neighborhood that abuts Shaw in Northwest D.C. He finds that a traffic circle did, indeed, anchor the neighborhood until 1947, when it was demolished to make room for an expanding North Capitol Street. The circle was named after Commodore Thomas Truxtun (who sometimes went by Truxton), an American naval officer, after the Revolutionary War.

— CHARISMA MADARANG AT FOODBEAST.COM
reveals news that Mexican Coke — which has developed a cult status in the United States because it still uses cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup — may soon become extinct. On Oct. 31, a new soda sales tax went into effect in Mexico, causing soda executives to warn that they may have to “move to more fructose” to cut costs.
— DEREK THOMPSON AT THEATLANTIC.COM
responds to a column published in The Boston Globe on Monday that used nonsensical analogies in place of facts to analyze the millennial generation. At one point, the Globe columnist compared today’s 20-somethings to those in “colonial times,” concluding that modern-day young people are uniformly lazy because they more often eat from dollar menus than farm-raise their own food.

Our hospitals shouldn’t need a life preserver to stay afloat. Far too many of America’s hospitals are struggling financially. And now, after slashing billions from hospitals since 2010, Washington wants to cut them even further. With Americans living longer than ever and a third of all doctors expected to retire in the next decade, the timing couldn’t be worse for Congress to once again pay for other priorities on the backs of the nation’s hospitals. For the millions of Americans who rely on their community hospitals each and every day, it could sever their only health care lifeline. Enough is Enough.
Tell Washington: No More Hospital Cuts.
