OVERLOOKING THE OBVIOUS

Free Doughnuts Turn Out to Be Really Expensive in End A Florida man is facing charges of impersonating a law enforcement officer during an attempt to get discounted doughnuts. Police say 48-year-old Charles T. “Chuck” Barry tried to use the ploy twice recently at a Tampa-area Dunkin’ Donuts by showing the clerk a badge and a holstered gun and telling him, “See, I am a cop!” He was arrested Tuesday and released.

Obama Reverses on Health Plans “I think it’s fair to say that the rollout has been rough so far.”

Washington

DEBUT OF HEALTHCARE.GOV

WIN McNAMEE (GETTY IMAGES)

His personal and political credibility on the line, President Barack Obama reversed course Thursday and said millions of Americans should be allowed to renew individual coverage plans now ticketed for cancellation under the healthcare law that is likely to be at the heart of the 2014 elections. The immediate impact on consumers was unclear, though both industry spokesmen and state insurance commissioners swiftly warned that higher prices could result from the president’s rapid turnaround. Under pressure from consumers as well as congressional Democrats, Obama said the administration no longer would require insurance

— PRE SIDENT BA R ACK OBA M A , REFERRING TO THE TROUBLED

companies to jettison current individual and small group plans that fall short of the minimum coverage standards under the law, effectively shifting responsibility for cancellations to the industry itself. Speaking of the millions of people whose coverage is being

scrapped, he said, “What we want to do is to be able to say to these folks, you know what, the Affordable Care Act is not going to be the reason why insurers have to cancel your plan.” Obama spoke at a news conference where he repeatedly took

responsibility for the woeful rollout of the health-care program known by his name. Officials disclosed Wednesday that fewer than 27,000 enrollments were completed in 36 states in the first month of operations for healthcare.gov. Including enrollment of more than 79,000 in the 14 states with their own websites, the nationwide number was 106,000 for October sign-ups. But that is still far fewer than expected and a mere fraction of the cancellation notices that have gone out because of the law — more than four million according to an Associated Press survey. Obama described both the cancellations on the individual market and the website rollout as significant problems, but he said the law’s implementation could still turn out well. “These are two fumbles … on a big game — but the game’s not over,” he said.

Judge Nears Ruling on Detroit Bankruptcy Sam Walker jumps to attention when he hears noises at his Detroit home. But now he has an ally to help him see what’s happening outside: a bright streetlight that replaced one that was dim and barely effective. A new light would draw a yawn in most cities, but it represents real progress in Detroit. The city is slowly restoring some services, improving others and paying vendors for the ﬁrst time in months, even while attempting to turn itself around in a record-setting bankruptcy case that has reached a critical point. After a nine-day trial, Judge Steven Rhodes must decide whether Detroit really qualiﬁes for the

court’s help to fix its awful long-term finances — including $18 billion in debt. Although they haven’t offered specifics, officials predict a “free-fall crisis” if the city is found ineligible and warn that the improved services, such as streetlights, could suffer. Rhodes’ decision is expected any day, and the judge hasn’t signaled which way he’s leaning. Emergency manager Kevyn Orr, the state appointee who now controls Detroit’s checkbook, acknowledges that things will get worse if bankruptcy is rejected. “The city would go back to where it was. We can’t go back,” he told a business group Tuesday. Unions, retirees and pension funds have led the opposition. They

Progress for Survivors, Burial for Dead Scores of typhoon victims laid to rest as aid flow increases

China’s Paltry Response The outpouring of international aid to the Philippines makes China’s contribution for typhoon relief look like a trickle. China has pledged less than $2 million in cash and materials, compared to $20 million provided by the United States, which also launched a massive military-driven rescue operation. That won’t help Beijing’s campaign to win over neighbors with its soft power. China’s reluctance to give more — driven by a bitter feud with the Philippines over overlapping claims in the South China Sea — dents its global image at a time when it is vying with Washington for regional influence. “China has missed an excellent opportunity to show itself as a responsible power and to generate goodwill,” said Zheng Yongnian, a China politics expert at the National University of Singapore.

The Muscle Test On Wednesday morning, I stationed myself at the top of the Dupont Circle North escalators — which are a pretty good glute workout on their own. I taped a sign to my coat that explained the basic rules, and I was ready to dole out five paper farecards loaded with $2.70 each. The only thing missing: participants. There was the usual parade of phone zombies. A whole bunch of people dashed by with apologies about running late. And a sizable number of folks proved to be all talk and no action. Finally, I met Julie Brookins. She was

conﬂicted (“I don’t need a free ride,” the 36-year-old Adams Morgan resident said), but eventually caved. “That wasn’t so bad,” she said after her 30 reps. “I don’t exercise enough.” My next squatter was the opposite. Zilose Lyons, 37, took one look at me and exclaimed, “I do that all of the time.” The Californian immediately got down to business — and earned a thumbs-up from a passing limo driver.

As if the introduction of team ice skating wasn’t enough to get people psyched for the Sochi Olympics, Russia has devised another way to hype the winter sportsfest. Moscow subway riders at one station can perform 30 squats in exchange for a free trip. So I had to know: Will Washingtonians sweat for their Metro fare?

Team USA better watch out for the Germans if they’re anything like Christina Mayr, who stepped up next. The 28-year-old and her mom are visiting from Bavaria, and the duo counted out her squats in Deutsch. (They shouted “dreißig” in unison when she ﬁnished.) I was worried no guys would be up to the task until an older gentleman proved me wrong. But he disappeared without taking his farecard. So instead, I gave it to Fernando Cortes, one of the workmen involved in Metro maintenance. “I’ve been doing squats all morning,” he said. That left me with one card. And it was destined for Diane Tepfer, who was on her way home from a senior stretch class. She’s recovering from a knee replacement, and as she sank into her ﬁrst squat, she said her physical therapist would approve of her doing her prescribed exercises. The next time I see her may well be in the team ice-skating competition in Sochi.

Metro GM Apologizes for Delays Red Line riders face second straight day of track troubles Washington

“As a commuter myself, I know that it is diﬃcult to be delayed. I apologize. This is not how you want to treat your customers.” — RICHARD SA RLE S, METRO’S GENERAL MANAGER, APOLOGIZING THURSDAY FOR THE

Metro General Manager Richard Sarles apologized to Red Line riders Thursday for the second straight day of major delays on the system’s busiest rail line, saying customers have a right to be angry and deserve better treatment. His appearance at an afternoon news conference came on the heels of two days of frustrating morning commutes for Red Line riders. On Wednesday, a cable fell from the ceiling of the tunnel at Woodley Park, forcing Red Line trains to share a single track for three hours as crews made repairs. Then, about 8:15 a.m. Thursday, a Red Line train had brake trouble between the Fort Totten and Brook-

SECOND DAY IN A ROW OF SIGNIFICANT DELAYS ON THE RED LINE

land stations. Crews reversed the train and sent it to the Brentwood rail yard, Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said. But to do that, other trains had to share a track. When crews moved to restore normal service, workers found a problem with a switch that allows trains to move from one track to another. The result? Metro sent another alert to riders at 8:30 a.m., warning of delays. Red Line riders said Wednesday’s and Thursday’s problems came on top of complaints about Monday service. Anticipating there would be fewer commuters because

of the Veterans Day holiday, Metro reduced the number of trains. The result, some riders said, were packed trains, crowded platforms and longer commutes. Orange Line riders had similar complaints. The Red Line is the oldest and busiest of Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s ﬁve lines, with more than 150,000 rider trips taken on an average weekday. And while some commuters also think it is Metro’s most troubled line, Sarles said that is not the case. “These types of issues can occur anywhere in the system,” he said. Sarles said riders who want a

refund can call Metro’s customer service line at 202-637-1328. Riders also can ﬁll out a complaint online. He also acknowledged other recent problems on the line, including delays last Thursday. The Red Line is undergoing major rebuilding as part of the transit agency’s $5 billion capital improvement plan. Nearly every weekend, there are stations shut down because of track work. The troubles come as Metro ofﬁcials launch an ambitious and costly plan for major upgrades to the system, including building a second crossing over the Potomac River and extending service to Georgetown. All this while riders are complaining that they aren’t noticing improvements in their commutes. Rider Laura Finch tweeted Thursday morning: “Took one look at the #redline platform at Metro Center and bailed. Unbelievable.” DANA HEDGPETH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Cover Story Sorry, It’s a Quiz Match one of these six apologizers with their famous apologies (answers in the lower right):

a. Mel Gibson

Many Apologies

d. Paula Deen

“I was wrong. I’m sorry,” some famous person or another announces seemingly every other day, desperately hoping the cameras and blog posts and breathless articles chronicling their screw-ups will just go away now, please. Last week, it was Lululemon co-founder Chip Wilson scrambling after saying that “some women’s bodies just don’t actually work” for yoga pants, and CBS News’ Lara Logan apologizing for her now-discredited Benghazi report. But that was nothing compared to Thursday’s trio of apology-worthy news: The latest jaw-dropping utterances from crack-smoking Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. The protracted saga of the Obama administration’s messy heath-care rollout. And then there was Metro’s Red Line. (E XPRESS)

CHRIS YOUNG (AP)

“Yep, I let the American people down. And I have to carry that burden with me for the rest of my life.”

Ford’s Apology

Obama’s Apology

Sarles’ Apology

“The revelations yesterday of cocaine, escorts and prostitution has pushed me over the line and I used unforgivable language and I apologize. When you attack my integrity as a father, and as a husband, I see red.”

“We fumbled the rollout on this health-care law. That’s on me.”

“I apologize for the significant delays and inconvenience you experienced over the last several days. We are working both to reduce future incidents and to respond better when incidents do occur.”

In the Past Toronto Mayor Rob Ford apologized Thursday for coarse language he used to deny allegations that he made sexual advances upon a former staffer. But it’s just the latest bad behavior he has apologized for. Ford admitted Wednesday to buying illegal drugs in the past two years and said he “really effed up.”

“Every human being is God’s child, and if I wish to honor my God, I have to honor his children. But please know from the bottom of my heart, I am not an anti-Semite.”

In the Past Sometimes referred to by critics as the apologizer in chief, President Barack Obama has apologized many times for the botched launch of his signature health-care law.

The Reaction

In the Past After three major Red Line delays in a oneweek span, Metro General Manager Richard Sarles apologized Thursday. The last time he issued a mea culpa over Metro mishaps was in January, when passengers evacuated a stranded train and headed into the tunnels unsupervised.

Canadian politicians of all stripes have called for Ford to resign, which he has repeatedly said he will not do.

Predictably, the reaction was largely split down party lines. “As a leader, you have to do that,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said. “I appreciate that and I respect that.” However, Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, dismissed the apologies. “It’s disappointing it took weeks of public outcry for the president to acknowledge what he’s known — and denied — for years,” he said.

A number of fed-up riders weren’t placated by the apology or promises of refunds, saying it is time for Metro’s top management to go.

The Reaction

It’s Never Too Late: It took 150 years, but a Pennsylvania newspaper said Thursday that it should have recognized the “momentous importance, timeless eloquence and lasting significance” of President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address at the time it was delivered. The PatriotNews of Harrisburg retracted a dismissive editorial penned by its Civil War-era predecessor in 1863, which said the address amounted to “silly remarks” that deserved a “veil of oblivion.” The president’s speech, of course, is now considered a triumph of American oratory. (AP)

5 “My position and intention was … ‘How dare you lie to me? How dare you lie to the viewers?’ … The lashing was the lack of compassion. And for that I apologize.” 6 “I had good years when I took steroids, and I had bad years when I took steroids. But no matter what, I shouldn’t have done it and for that I’m truly sorry.” Answers

c. Oprah Winfrey

“I’m ready to get out of my own way. The ego is overdone. I take the responsibility for my actions. Yes I was that guy. A 32-yearold child.”

REDSKINS WIDE RECEIVER

1. Are you satisfied with your season (21 receptions, 249 yards) thus far? “Would you be satisfied? But why make it about me? All I can do is hope to have the opportunity. Any receiver wants a chance to catch the ball, but it’s not up to you.”

Redskins In the dog-eat-dog world of the NFL, you can go from asset to afterthought in a matter of minutes. Perhaps no one embodies that notion more than Fred Davis. Once considered the pack leader of a talented tight end stable, Davis now finds himself in the doghouse, and he hasn’t seen the field for the Redskins in any way over the past four games. “I can’t make them play me, or make them make me active,” he said. Davis, who is not expected to play on Sunday against Philadelphia, was the No. 1 tight end at the start of the season. He was benched after missing assignments in Week 2 against Green Bay. He missed the Detroit game the next week with an ankle injury and was a non-factor against Oakland in Week 4. Since then, he’s been usurped by impressive rookie Jordan Reed and fellow veterans Logan Paulsen and Niles Paul. Missing the Minnesota contest, his fifth inactive game of the season, cost Davis a $500,000 bonus. Davis has said the bonus is part of the reason he hasn’t seen the field, but Redskins coach Mike Shanahan refuted that claim. “I don’t look at any of those incen-

tives,” Shanahan said. “I keep myself away from those things. I don’t make decisions based on money.” So what is it? Davis says he’s healthy and willing to participate in any manner to regain the trust of the coaches. “I’m doing what I have to do,” he

said. “I do stuff on special teams, scout team, whatever it is. That’s the only thing I can do.” Davis was rumored to be on the move before last month’s trading deadline, but he thinks his banishment left teams hesitant to pull the trigger.

“Everybody is going to wonder why I’m not playing,” he said. “Everybody got questions, ‘Why?’ But at the end of the day, all I need is one team to believe in me, and if it’s here or not here, I’m going to show that I’m a pro and I’m able to play in this league.” And if it turns out that his Redskins career came to an inglorious end back in Week 4 on the dirt ﬁeld of Oakland, Davis will remain befuddled but unbowed. “I guess I would think the whole season didn’t go the way I thought it [would go]” he said. “It’s not going that way for me.”

2. Have you been happy with your role? “In this day and age, you’re not really here to be the best statistically. You’re here to help yourself continue your career and win a championship.

THREE THINGS TO WATCH

1. Turning Foles Over

2. Closing Games

3. Don’t Give Up on Morris

Nick Foles has thrown 16 touchdowns without an interception. The only QB in NFL history to have more TDs to start a season without throwing a pick was Peyton Manning (this year). In his past two games, the Eagles QB has completed 34 of 46 passes for 634 yards and 10 TDs. The Redskins rank in the middle of the pack with 10 interceptions and 16 takeaways this season. Will their defense be able to force Foles into a mistake?

At the beginning of the year, the Redskins had horrific starts. Now they can’t finish. Here’s how their past three games ended: They allowed 31 fourth-quarter points in a loss to the Broncos; they let up 10 points in the last five minutes against the Chargers before prevailing in overtime; and they were outscored 20-3 in the second half in last week’s 34-27 loss to the Vikings. They had a second-half lead in all three games.

One reason the Redskins could be struggling down the stretch is they have abandoned the run game. Alfred Morris has averaged nearly five carries in each of the first three quarters, but he has averaged just two rushes per game in the fourth quarter. Morris is third in the league in rushing (825 yards) and has the highest yards per carry (5.2) among NFL running backs. A power runner is valuable at the end of games.

The Eagles are 5-5 this season. In the five wins, Jackson has averaged 106 yards and scored a total of six TDs. In the five losses, he has averaged 74.6 yards and has just one score. The receiver’s ability to stretch the field is critical to the Eagles’ success. In three of Philadelphia’s past four wins, Jackson had a 50-yard reception. Hall is having one of his better seasons in Washington, but it’s likely he’ll need safety help over the top.

Catches this season for Redskins tight end Jordan Reed. He leads all rookies in receptions and is fourth among first-year players in receiving yards (487). The third-round pick out of Florida has 27 grabs for 323 yards in his past four games.

PREDICTION

HEARSAY

Eagles 35, Redskins 28

“The only thing I think we can draw on is that our goal is to be 4-6.”

The Redskins’ defense allowed Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel to complete 21 of 27 passes last week, so it probably won’t fare too well against a red-hot QB like Foles.

WEEKLY SUPERLATIVES

U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time, winning a total of 22 medals in his career.

Phelps Returning for Rio? U.S. swimmer keeps options open as he gets back into shape Swimming Michael Phelps has rejoined the U.S. drug testing program, the strongest signal yet that he’s planning a comeback for the Rio Olympics. Phelps told The Associated Press on Thursday that “nothing is set in stone” though clearly he has enjoyed getting back into shape — he’s down about 15 pounds — and working out with his former team at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club. “If I decide to keep going and swim again, then I’ll compete,” Phelps told the AP in an exclusive telephone interview from Minneapolis, where he is attending an Arena

Grand Prix meet this weekend. “If I don’t,” he added, letting out a big laugh, “I guess I’ll reretire. Just don’t compare me to Brett Favre.” The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said Phelps was among the athletes who underwent doping tests in the third quarter, the period ending Sept. 30. He was tested twice. His former coach and close friend, Bob Bowman, said Phelps actually re-entered the program near the end of the second quarter, but he wasn’t tested and therefore wasn’t listed that time in USADA’s quarterly report. He would be eligible to compete again in March, according to Bowman. Each week, Phelps said, he’s working out a couple of days in the pool, a couple of days in the weight room, and one or two days on his core training.

“I just think he’s in a place where he’s feeling good about swimming,” Bowman said. “If he chooses to compete, he’s got some time. I like having the ability to do it. To be perfectly honest, he’s not anywhere near being able to compete in a meet or anything like that. We’re just getting started on improving his ﬁtness. We’ll see where that goes.” By subjecting himself to drug testing, Phelps has given himself plenty of time to go through an entire season before the next major meet, the 2015 world championships in Russia, an important stepping-stone to the Rio Games the following summer. FINA, the world governing body for swimming, requires an athlete to be tested for at least nine months before taking part in sanctioned events. PAUL NEWBERRY (AP)

Most run-oriented matchup: Vikings vs. Seahawks When you have Adrian Peterson or Marshawn Lynch, why would you ever throw it? Lynch has 871 yards and Peterson has 786, good for second and fourth in the NFL, respectively.

Worst team in the league: Jaguars Congrats to the Bucs and Jaguars for getting their first wins last week. Gus Bradley and Jacksonville hold on to “worst in the league” status by squeaking out a win despite 214 yards of total offense.

GAME OF THE WEEK

UPSET SPECIAL

Chiefs at Broncos

Patriots over Panthers

SUNDAY, 8:30 P.M., NBC

MONDAY, 8:40 P.M., ESPN

The Broncos and Chiefs have a combined record of 17-1. There hasn’t been a more highly anticipated game all year. The Broncos are led by Peyton Manning and a highpowered offense that’s averaged 41.2 points per game. Meanwhile, the Chiefs haven’t allowed an opponent to score more than 17 points in any contest this season. Which unit will p y prevail Sunday?

A few weeks ago, who would have thought that Carolina would be favored over New England? The Panthers have won five straight, but last week’s 10-9 victory over the 49ers is their only win over a team with a winning record. With Rob Gronkowski back, Tom Brady and the Patriots’ offense has looked much better. This will be the toughest test of the year for the Panthers’ defense.

SCHEDULE Sunday Baltimore at Chicago, 1 p.m., CBS Oakland at Houston, 1 p.m. N.Y. Jets at Buffalo, 1 p.m. Atlanta at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m.

BOLD PREDICTION

Texans QB Case Keenum will throw for 400 yards. Hey, the Raiders’ defense allowed Nick Foles to make history and throw for seven touchdowns, so why not predict Keenum to have a career day against Oakland? In his past two starts, Keenum has thrown for 551 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. Houston is riding a seven-game losing streak and this is the week that ends.

PATRICK SEMANSKY (AP)

Six weeks ago, Maryland and quarterback C.J. Brown were flying high. The Terrapins were 4-0, and even climbed into the national ranking at No. 25 following a 37-0 victory over West Virginia in late September. At that point, Brown — who missed all of last year with a torn ACL — was one of the biggest stories in the ACC. He threw seven touchdown passes in those four games and ran for six scores. Since then, things have gone downhill for Brown and Maryland (5-4, 1-4). As they prepare to face Virginia Tech (7-3, 4-2) on Saturday, the Terrapins have dropped three in a row and four of five. They’ve been stuck at five victories for a month and still need a sixth to become bowl-eligible. Brown has struggled as well. He has been knocked out of two games and didn’t play at all in two others because of those injuries. He hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass or run for a score since the West Virginia game. In the past three times he has started for Maryland, the offense has produced a mere 13 points. “It’s definitely on me,” Brown said. “That reflects [the quarterback] position. I’ve got to be able to lead the team down the field and make plays.” Brown was especially critical of

his play in last week’s 20-3 home loss to Syracuse. In that game, Brown threw a pair of interceptions and fumbled away a snap that led to a Syracuse ﬁeld goal. “I felt like I let the team down,” he said. “The three turnovers I had, they were dumb. There’s no excuse for them. I don’t know what I was looking at out there. That could have been the difference in the outcome of the game. I took it personally and I took it hard. I’m going to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” In his defense, Brown hasn’t been getting much help. Stefon

Diggs and Deon Long, Maryland’s top two receivers, are lost for the season with broken legs. The running game managed just 81 yards against Syracuse. Despite Brown’s struggles, Maryland coach Randy Edsall said he has no plans to make a change. He pointed out that eight of Maryland’s 13 possessions in that game ended in Syracuse territory, stressing that he hasn’t lost faith in Brown. “To me,” Edsall said, “C.J. gives us the best opportunity to win going into the Virginia Tech game.” (AP)

Our ‘Lost’ Treasure

Anyway, I went to see “All Is Lost,” which is 100 nearly wordless minutes of Robert Redford trying not to die on his boat, which had a big giant hole torn in it by a rogue shipping container. I am no sailor, but I know that big giant holes are bad for boats. Redford’s character (the credits identify him only as “Our Man”) uses his skills and strength of will to attempt to survive in the middle of the Indian Ocean, which was very impressive because my strategy would have been: 1) Make peace with God; 2) Drink enormous amounts of alcohol. Step 1 would be optional. It’s easy for me to think of Redford as a historic artifact, forever trapped in “All the President’s Men” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” One time he came to the Post newsroom for some reason; when word got out, everyone headed over there to see him in the flesh. I’m reasonably certain that everyone’s expression mirrored that of Sam Neill when he first laid eyes on the dinosaurs in “Jurassic Park”: We were seeing something we had assumed was long gone. “All Is Lost,” though, showcases an immensely talented actor at his best — with nothing to depend on but his face and body, without even dialogue to help him along. He seems to communicate with the audience telepathically; a glance up or a raise of an eyebrow and we know exactly what Our Man is thinking. Bob Woodward and the Sundance Kid and Roy Hobbs and Jay Gatsby all disappear, and what’s left is a man doing things that many of us had forgotten he could do. Redford’s no dinosaur. He’s a legend.

TEDDYWOLFF (FOR EXPRESS)

When Matt Howell and two recently married friends, Peter Ryan and Larry Harte, decided to move in together, they had to find more than just a shared space in Logan Circle — they had to find common ground in aesthetics, too. “I was a little more traditional, and they were very modern,” the 34-year-old Howell says. While moving in with friends or a significant other means plenty of togetherness, it also means you have to give up some possessions or adjust your style as you merge multiple lives into one space. For Howell and the couple, their adjustments began before they moved into their two-story, 1,500-square-foot unit in a Logan Circle rowhouse. “We went to each other’s places and CONTINUED ON R3

Abrams, a systems engineer, admits it was difficult to give up some items. “You have unjustified attachments to things that if you weren’t moving in with somebody, you wouldn’t care about giving up,” he says. “It’s on principle — I don’t want to give up all my stuff, even though your stuff may be more modern.

Couples therapist Elisabeth LaMotte says couples moving in together should only do so “if they are both truly happy with the state of their relationship and if cohabitation is a step they both feel great about taking together.” Be honest about your motivations for moving in. LaMotte says that many couples move in together in D.C. to split expensive rents, but that shouldn’t be the only reason. And, whether it’s couples or friends, it’s important to have a plan for if somebody moves out. “It is uncomfortable to talk about, but if you talk about it ahead of time, at least you’ve put it out there as a possibility,” she says.

That act of buying furniture together can be even more symbolic. “You’re making a home together, so it’s important that you have some pieces that are ‘ours,’ ” Elliot says. For friends who room together, that isn’t as necessary. In Howell’s case, he bought most of the livingroom furniture for their rowhouse. “I wanted to invest because when I left my old place, I didn’t really have much,” the software product manager says. “And that space is my work space as well, so it’s important for me to be comfortable in that room.” And all that merging and adapting came with a big bonus for him and his roommates: more centralized social lives. “We have mostly the same friends, so now we can all jointly entertain,” Howell’s roommate Ryan says. “And we can split the bills on all our parties,” Howell adds.

lost books, Liesel can’t read or write, and that momentarily makes her a punch line at school. After Hans teaches her to read, Liesel’s world begins to expand, both through stories from books she sneakily “borrows” and in a reality that’s informed by an oppressive regime. In this small German village, she ﬁnds reasons to be optimistic thanks to a friendship with another young-

TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX

The ﬁlm tries to contain writer Markus Zusak’s myriad plot points, but the result is a tempered climax.

Liesel (Sophie Nelisse) sneaks into a neighbor’s well-stocked library to pursue her love of books.

Stealing The Message ‘The Book Thief’s’ film version leaves one too many threads hanging Film Review “The Book Thief” has its moments of brilliance. But the movie, about a girl adopted by a German couple during World War II, also crystallizes the perils of book adaptations. Director Brian Percival tries heartily to contain the myriad plot points in writer Markus Zusak’s bestselling novel, but the result is a rushed conclusion and a tempered climax. The sticky-ﬁngered title character is Liesel. With bouncy blond hair and big, sad eyes, actress Sophie Nelisse utterly embodies

the character of a girl given up for adoption shortly after her brother dies. When her on-the-run Communist mother can no longer care for Liesel, she’s taken in by Hans (Geoffrey Rush) and Rosa (Emily Watson). The child immediately bonds with her new father, a smiling accordion player who calls Liesel “your majesty.” Rosa is more standofﬁsh and looks constantly for excuses to yell. (She ﬁnds many.) Despite her tendency to pick up

ster, Rudy (Nico Liersch), but she also comes to understand the saddest repercussion of Third Reich rule after a man named Max comes to the family’s door one night. The son of Hans’ old friend, Max is Jewish and on the run, and he ends up hiding in the family’s basement. A number of other subplots are also squeezed into the two-hour run time. These threads have the space to breathe and evolve in a novel, but on ﬁlm, less would have been more. From the pristinely shot scenes of a train chugging through a snowy landscape that open the ﬁlm, “The Book Thief” has a sleekness to it. That feeling is mirrored in a plot that feels whitewashed in some ways. For example, Rosa discusses cutting back on meals now that the family has to provide for its refugee, but there aren’t depictions of hunger or suffering. Just as Max tempers the reality for Liesel, the movie does the same for its viewers. That ensures a PG-13 rating and a broader audience, of course. But when the delivery is blunted, the audience’s emotions will tend to follow suit. STEPHANIE MERRY (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Bluegrass musicians Didier (Johan Heldenbergh) and Elise (Veerle Baetens) harmonize magnificently onstage and off in “The Broken Circle Breakdown.” They have the kind of relationship that might make other couples jealous. But the Flemish drama doesn’t deal just with the fortunes of love at first sight; it examines in aching detail the limitations of a seemingly perfect relationship when tragedy strikes. The movie, based on a play by Heldenbergh and Mieke Dobbels, bounces around in time and opens on a painful note. Didier and Elise are at a hospital in Ghent, Belgium, with their young daughter, Maybelle (Nell Cattrysse), who is undergoing treatment for cancer. While each parent is taking the news in his or her own way, they vow to put up an optimistic front around Maybelle.

From this grim opening, the movie jumps back seven years to the couple’s early relationship and the thrill of getting to know each other. Elise, a tattoo artist, gives Didier a tour of her ink, while he teaches her about the roots of Appalachian music. Didier explains that to combat the misery of an impoverished existence in the mountains, musicians sang songs. And that, too, is what director Felix Van Groeningen accomplishes, peppering the ﬁlm with musical interludes of the couple performing with their band. Some moments of the movie might leave viewers feeling bereft or gut-punched, but the sublime sounds (along with the sweet and silly scenes of the pair falling in love) provide respites from the sorrow. You could call the movie a musical, though in the small-scale sense. In adapting the play for the screen, Van Groeningen chose to

tell the story out of order, and it works. Seeing portions of an outcome before we know why fuels a mysteriousness that keeps the viewer watching. Although the stunning cinematography alone might be enough to do that. With its exquisite depictions of suffering, “The Broken Circle Breakdown” is not always easy to watch. But, as in life, sometimes there’s beauty to be found in the pain. STEPHANIE MERRY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Bumps in a Marriage In ‘Concussion,’ an injury leads a wife to seek out sexual thrills

“Concussion” explores Lesbian Bed Death — the drop in sexual desire and/or activity experienced by some long-term lesbian couples — through the prism of a single couple: high-powered New York divorce lawyer Kate (Julie Fain Lawrence) and her bored, unsatisfied partner, Abby (Robin Weigert). Abby’s the protagonist, and she gets things going quickly, taking a wayward ball to the head, tossed by one of her two children. That bump on the noggin leads to the titular concussion, which may or may not have anything to do with what follows. Suddenly, Abby decides to spice up her life as a suburban housewife, mother and PTA member by working as a high-priced call girl for lonely female clients. What’s going on here? The sex, while apparently gratifying, seems

Neither do we.

shopping lookout How Bazaar

DEAR MANOLO

THE BEST PART OF VISITING A MUSEUM? We think it’s cruising the

gift shop after absorbing all that culture. The Mansion at Strathmore’s 24th annual Museum Shop Around bazaar cuts to the chase with pop-up gift shops from 20 of the area’s best institutions ($9 admission, 10701 Rockville Pike, North Bethesda, Md.). This Friday through Sunday, grab such artistic wares as Black + Blum’s loop candelabra (at left, $40) and geometric bowls (at right, $55).

ANSWERS FROM THE SHOE BLOGGER

Knot Cool

Holiday season is here again, and I STILL don’t have a good pair of shoes for those dressy parties. My feet are of average size but a bit flat. I would love a pair of stylish, even sexy, dress shoes that will be comfortable for the whole evening (and won’t leave me soaking my sore feet for days after the event). What do you think, Manolo? —DONNA

EUROPEAN CHICKS intuitively

know how to toss a muffler around their shoulders and look charming. Those in need of accessories assistance can try “How to Tie a Scarf” ($13, Potter Style), a pocketsquare sized, illustrated guide to folding, knotting and draping your way to better, warmer style. “Recipes” are named for cities, like the “Glasgow,” below.

Flashback In Style VINTAGE DRESSES burst with

retro, Turner Classic Movies appeal. Sadly, they often come with moth holes and waists requiring a corset. Petrunia’s retro-inspired frocks, new at GoodWood (1428 U St. NW; 202-986-3640), boast a similar vibe in real-girl sizes and nonmusty fabrics. Styles (all $185) include a flowery number and green-dotted one with a swingy skirt.

Savory Bonds CARAMELIZED ONIONS, beloved

companion of hunks of goat cheese or pork tacos, get elevated to a higher level via Lowcountry Produce’s Sweet Onion Jam ($12, Hill’s Kitchen, 713 D St. SE; 202543-1997). The tangy spread — think a chutney crossed with a savory preserve — also works wonders on a leftover turkey sandwich.

Next Stop: Your Wall WELL-HEELED travelers and those with wanderlust will appreciate Room & Board’s new line of luggage-tag art ($329, 1840 14th St. NW; 202-729-8300). Silkscreens printed in California add color and worldliness to your walls sans waiting in annoying security lines. Destinations include London, Chicago, Paris and New York. All prints come in white wood frames and look stylish hung alongside vacation snapshots.

Manolo says ayyyy! The holidays, they are upon us, like the hungry polar bear on the hapless baby seal! Hurry! Roll into the ball and protect your vital organs!

The Manolo sings: It’s the most wonderful time of the year! With the kids toy-full yelling/ And Nordstrom is selling red sweaters you jeer/ It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Office parties for drinking/ And bosses for thinking/ Your career is ending, let’s go. There’ll be sad hosting duties/ And credit-card worries/ And fruitcake from long, long ago. It’s the most wonderful time of the year/ There’ll be much sullen groaning/ And turkey-full moaning/ And eggnog from cartons you fear. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Here is the Poco from the Stuart Weitzman ($330, zappos.com), the snazzy kitten heel in the color imaginatively called the “pyrite nocturn,” perfect for the elegant evening of seasonal “fun.” Ask the Manolo a question at manolo@shoeblogs.com.

A Place Setting At the Table Aunt Mary can’t sit next to Aunt Laura, and Grandpa needs to be kept away from the bourbon. Familial drama aside, prepping the table for a holiday meal can be an enjoyable act. We tapped three local tastemakers to create festive set-ups using easy-to-find materials. Some may even be in your china cabinet, meaning it’ll be simple to re-create these looks at home. As for conflictresolution strategies? We can’t help you there. TE X T: JENNIFER BARGER AND HOLLEY SIMMONS (E XPRESS); PHOTOS: JASON HORNICK (FOR E XPRESS)

Styled by Sidra Forman, florist/chef | Forman (sidraforman .com) dresses up local parties using a keep-it-natural aesthetic. “Start with nice things, then get out of the way,” she says. For this rustic-yet-romantic setup (all goods, Darryl Carter, 1320 Ninth St. NW; 202-234-5626), Forman made place cards from monogrammed lockets ($18 each) hung on prickly branches found in a pal’s yard. She grouped branches from her own magnolia and persimmon trees in a Watts pot ($615) and bunched ranunculus, sage, oregano and lamb’s ear in vintage urns ($450 each). White plates ($45-$56) and antler-handled silverware ($178 a place setting) offset canvas napkins that Forman cut from a painter’s drop cloth.

Family silver, tin-can vases and a mix of exotic plates and glasses summon an eclectic mood at floral designer Sarah von Pollaro’s table.

Florist and chef Sidra Forman stuffed antique pots with naturallooking flowers and greenery. Simple white plates and antler-handled cutlery up the rustic charm.

Styled by Sarah von Pollaro, Urban Petals | Floral designer von Pollaro (urbanpetals.com) creates posy-powered decor for the Kennedy Center, embassies and such restaurants as Kapnos. For this eco-friendly look, she filled tin cans (with the labels scrubbed off) with grocerystore mums and both curly and flat parsley. “You can cook with it later,” she says. A mix of family silver, lively accent plates and Moroccan tea glasses (plates, $68 for four; glasses, $8 each, Salt & Sundry, Union Market, 1309 Fifth St. NE; 202-556-1866) add to the eclectic vibe. “If you mix in family heirlooms, it makes the table like a potluck, with a little bit of everything,” she says.

Styled by Amy Rutherford, Red Barn Mercantile | In her Old Town decor shop (1117 King St., Alexandria; 703-838-0355), Rutherford mixes rugged fabrics, simple shapes and a smattering of vintage. She goes for a similar feel with this tablescape, lining up antique wooden candlesticks on a runner cut from burlap (sold at fabric stores). Her own white plates get dressed up with printed napkins ($15 each, Red Barn Mercantile), wooden letters ($9 each, Red Barn Mercantile) and pheasant feathers ($6 for a dozen, A.C. Moore stores). “I like to keep my table simple at Thanksgiving, since there’s so much food on it,” Rutherford says. “And having place cards lets you mix up the seating plan.”

Ronnie Toms delivers fresh milk from South Mountain Creamery in Middletown, Md.

You Can Bet on These Farms It’s Foodsgiving (Thankscooking?) time. If you’re looking to avoid multiple-aisles-long supermarket lines and put locally grown ingredients on your holiday table, check out these sources. RACHEL SADON (EXPRESS)

Great Country Farms 18780 FOGGY BOTTOM ROAD, BLUEMONT, VA.; 10 A.M.-5 P.M., $8-$10; 540-554-2073, GREATCOUNTRYFARMS.COM.

For the true farm-to-table experience, head to this 200-acre working farm at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s a hike (more than an hour’s drive from D.C.) but worth it to browse fresh jellies, cider, pies, eggs and produce. Depending on the weather and availability, you could score such Thanksgiving staples as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, apples, leaks, broccoli, beets and winter squashes.

Lazy? Order from this Middletown, Md.-based farm, which has an extensive online selection of locally produced items. For a $4.99 delivery fee, a hormone- and antibiotic-free turkey (or some ham, lamb or goat) will show up at your doorstep. You can also order

baking essentials and ice cream. If you do make it to the farm to shop, bring the kids to see cows being milked or help bottle-feed the calves.

Takoma Park Farmers Market 6935 LAUREL AVE., TAKOMA PARK, MD.; 10 A.M.-2 P.M. SUN., FREE; TAKOMAPARKMARKET.COM.

The farmers come to you at this producers-only market, where all vendors hail from within 125 miles of Takoma Park. This is a good place to find spuds for mashed potatoes or squash for roasting, plus fresh breads, seasonal pies and other baked goods.

Marla Beck Marla Beck’s business card should probably read “Fountain of Youth Builder.” The Bethesda resident and co-founder of the Blue Mercury apothecary/ spa chain (bluemercury.com) spends her time researching anti-aging creams and skinperfecting cosmetics. Last year, she launched M-61, a skin-care line that draws on the company’s 13-year history. We sat down with Beck just before she opened her 50th outpost. HOLLEY SIMMONS (E XPRESS)

“We did over a million facials last year. We know skin from a spa perspective and from a makeup perspective.”

What makeup trends are you anticipating for the holiday party season? The red lip continues to be popular. I think that will translate to holiday for people. This market doesn’t really wear a red lip unless they’re going out.

What’s something every skin-care routine should include? Exfoliation. As you age, the cells don’t turn over as quickly, so the dryness on your skin comes from the dry skin sitting on it. If you exfoliate, you bring out the new skin. It’s counterintuitive, because you’re being abrasive to your skin.

How does M-61 differ from other skin care? We married medical-grade-strength ingredients with natural ingredients because it was important to our clients. We did over a million facials last year. We know skin from a spa perspective and from a makeup perspective. The M-61 products are meant to be used under cosmetics.

KATE WARREN

FACE TIME

You have five shops in the D.C. area. Do you notice any trends in the local markets? Color is not as strong in makeup in D.C. as in Philadelphia and New York, but fragrance has always been leading-edge here. And we sell more candles at the Dupont location than any other store in the entire company.

Is there one thing we can do today to improve the quality of our skin? There are a few: Don’t touch your face. It’s bad for your hygiene and skin care. Everybody looks better with their brows done. And don’t ever go to bed with makeup on.

DIFFICULT

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can bet that those around you are not going to see things the way you do. Indeed, your perspective is developing quickly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may be contacted by someone who wants more from you than he or she is willing or able to give in return. Be cautious. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a positive view of the immediate future, and you know that you can influence things in a way that benefits those around you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone else is ready to give you precisely what you need — all you have to do is ask. No formalities will be required.

Thursday’s Solution

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can put things in a simple, straightforward manner that is understood by everyone around you. Some may feign confusion, however. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can please those who have gotten used to your unusual methods, but others may remain critical, at least for now.

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

A large portion of “Dracula” star Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ salary was withheld until he finished shooting all 10 episodes of the NBC series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Argentines are expressing outrage over the latest scandal to emerge from Justin Bieber’s stay in Buenos Aires, saying that the way he treated the Argentine flag shows he has no respect for his fans or the country.

Satan: ‘Back Atcha’ Mariah Carey’s stint as an “American Idol” judge was “like going to work every day in hell with Satan,” she said on a radio show Tuesday (as quoted by Us Weekly). Carey, who shared the judging table with Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Keith Urban, didn’t say whether a specific co-worker was Satan, though she often clashed with Minaj. “I was the first person who signed on,” she said. “I thought it was going to be a three-person panel.” She is not returning for the show’s 13th season.
