New York After a speeding Metro-North Railroad commuter train barreled into a curve and derailed in New York City on Dec. 1, safety advocates said similar deadly accidents might soon be avoided. Railroads across the country are preparing to deploy high-tech control systems that will let computers automatically slow trains that are moving too fast or headed for a collision. Yet there is already low-tech equipment, widely available since the Great Depression, that could have prevented the crash, and every Metro-North train already has it. For many years, the trains have been outfitted with control systems that will sound an alarm if an engineer exceeds a designated speed or blows through a red light, then robotically slam on the brakes if the driver doesn’t respond. Historically, though, the system has been used on Metro-North mainly to keep trains from colliding, not to enforce speed limits on curves, hills or bridges. That meant that no alarm sounded when engineer William Rockefeller failed to slow as he approached a tight curve in the Bronx. Federal investigators said the train

was moving at 82 mph, well above the curve’s 30-mph speed limit. Four people died in the wreck. A week after the derailment, MetroNorth adjusted its signaling system so trains approaching the bend too fast will trigger the alarm and automatic braking system. Similar upgrades are planned over the next few months to enforce speed
Some passenger rail lines lack automatic brakes entirely, even to enforce stop signals. There was no automatic braking in place on a Metrolink train that ran a red light and struck a freight train in Chatsworth, Calif., in 2008. That crash, which killed 25 people, prompted Congress to order big rail systems to install positive train control to monitor the location of every moving train and provide automatic, emergency breaking anywhere. Many railroads have indicated they expect to have trouble meeting the 2015 installation deadline. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority plans to spend $900 million to fully equip Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road. Railroads also have until 2017 to install alarms designed to keep engineers awake. (AP)
ical backup. “We operated trains for 30 years and 11 months without a fatality,” said Marjorie Anders, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which oversees MetroNorth operations. She added, though, that since the accident, the agency was rethinking its safety operations from top to bottom. Anders said the MTA hasn’t yet calculated the cost of installing the safety equipment.

limits at eight other curves and bridges in Metro-North’s 384-mile system. The relatively quick fix for the deadly section of track raises a question: Why wasn’t it done sooner? The simplest answer seems to be that on most U.S. rail systems, engineers have been seen as capable of handling routine speed adjustments on curves and bridges without mechan-

Snowstorm Buoys Snowboarders, Skiers But Northeast storm also brings slippery roads, cancellations Hartford, Conn. A weekend storm that dumped a foot or more of snow in parts of the Northeast made skiers and snowboarders happy, but travelers were forced to deal with slippery roads and flight cancellations Sunday. Molly Taaffe, 23, was on the slopes
at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, N.H., by 8 a.m. for her 10th day of skiing this season. She said it was her best outing yet. “You don’t get a lot of days like this on the East Coast,” she said. Snowfall ranged from 2 to 8 inches in Connecticut and Rhode Island to almost 11 inches in northern Massachusetts and nearly 17 inches on Maine’s southern coast, according to the National Weather Service. “We term it a kind of low-end nor’easter,” said Bill Simpson, a meteorologist for the Weather Service.

MASTERS IN APPLIED ECONOMICS Quantitative Analysis for Evidence-Based Policy Decisions
A Colorado teenager who may have been nursing a grudge against a high school teacher intended to harm that teacher and inflict numerous other casualties when he entered his school and shot a student at point-blank range before killing himself, authorities said. Karl Pierson, 18, fired six shots from a pump-action shotgun between the moment he walked into Arapahoe High School on Friday and the moment he killed himself in a library as a school security officer closed in, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said. Pierson’s attack lasted just 80 seconds but reopened scars in a community traumatized by mass shootings at Columbine High School in 1999, an Aurora, Colo., movie complex in 2012 and in Newtown, Conn., a year ago Saturday. “His evil intent was to harm multiple individuals,” Robinson said Saturday. Arapahoe senior Claire Davis, 17, who was sitting with a friend when Pierson entered the library, was shot in the head. She remained hospitalized in critical condition Sunday.
Backstory Karl Pierson legally purchased a shotgun at a local store on Dec. 6 and bought ammunition the day of the shooting, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said. Anyone 18 and older is allowed to buy a shotgun in Colorado; only those over 21 can legally buy a handgun. Pierson arrived at the school toting the shotgun and wearing the ammunition on his body. He had a machete and, in a backpack, carried three Molotov cocktails, the sheriff said. (AP)
Hundreds of students held a candlelight vigil for Davis on Saturday night. The sheriff said that Davis appeared to be a random target. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday that he had visited Davis and her family and that she was in a coma. “I just can’t imagine what they’re going through,” he said. Friends and well-wishers posted prayers on Twitter, and some students collected money to help pay for Davis’ medical expenses. “I feel like it’s going to make us a stronger senior class and school as a whole,” said Chris Davis, an Arapahoe senior who is not related to Claire Davis and helped organize the fundraising effort.

U.S.: Chinese Ship Nearly Hit Navy Cruiser on Dec. 5
Standard antidepressant medications can take weeks or months to achieve their full effects. Several studies seek to better understand the causes of depression and evaluate the mechanisms in the brain that are related to rapid antidepressant improvement.
U.S. military officials said Saturday that a Chinese warship nearly collided with an American Navy guided missile cruiser operating in international waters. U.S. Pacific Fleet says it happened Dec. 5 in the South China Sea and that the USS Cowpens maneuvered to avoid the collision. (AP)
These studies enroll depressed persons between the ages of 18 and 65 for an inpatient period of 2- to 3-months. Researchers will evaluate how the experimental medication ketamine, versus placebo, affects glutamate in the brain and whether a rapid reduction of antidepressant symptoms (within hours) can be achieved and sustained.

Kerry Returns to a Different Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam John Kerry first set foot in Vietnam 44 years ago, a young U.S. Navy officer fighting in a war that would come to profoundly influence his political career and foreign policy thinking. He returned again Saturday, this time as America’s top diplomat, offering security assurances and working to promote democratic and economic reforms in the communist country. The U.S. secretary of state was trying to bolster the remarkable rapprochement that he had encouraged and helped to engineer as a senator in the 1990s. “I can’t think of two countries
that have worked harder, done more and done better to try to bring themselves together and change history, to change the future, to provide a future for people that is very, very different,” Kerry said. In the city he first knew as Saigon, the capital of the former South Vietnam, Kerry met Saturday with members of the business community and entrepreneurs to talk up the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a broad trade agreement that the U.S. is now negotiating with Vietnam and nine other Asian countries. To take full advantage of the deal’s economic opportunities, Kerry said Vietnam, which has been widely criticized for its human rights record, must embrace changes. “A commitment to an open Internet, to a more open society, … to a business environment that supports innovative companies and to the protection of individu-

Along the winding waters of the Mekong Delta where he once patrolled for communist insurgents, Secretary of State John Kerry turned his sights Sunday on a new enemy: climate change. In this part of Vietnam, rising sea waters, erosion and the impact of dam development on the Mekong River are proving to be a threat. The future is in jeopardy, Kerry said, pledging a $17 million contribution to help the region’s rice producers, shrimp farmers and fisherman adapt to potential changes. (AP)
About 200,000 anti-government protesters converged on the central square of Ukraine’s capital Sunday in a dramatic show of morale after nearly four weeks of daily protests, but the rally was shadowed by suggestions that their goal of closer ties with Europe may be imperiled. A smaller demonstration of government supporters, about 15,000, took place less than a mile away from Kiev’s Independence Square. U.S. Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., joined the anti-government demonstration to express support for them and their European ambitions, threatening sanctions against the
government of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych if authorities use more violence to disperse the protests. “We are here because your peaceful process and peaceful protest is inspiring your country and inspiring the world,” McCain told protesters. In the face of the protests, Ukrainian officials this week renewed talks with the EU agreement and promised they would sign the deal once some issues are worked out. However, the EU’s top official on expansion issues, Stefan Fuele, cast doubt on that Sunday, saying that work is “on hold” and that the words and actions of Yanukovych are “further and further apart.” MARIA DANILOVA AND YURAS KARMANAU (AP)

Mandela Buried in His Home Village Thousands gather to honor leader in final mourning ceremony Qunu, South Africa Anti-apartheid champion Nelson Mandela was buried in his home village Sunday after a funeral that mixed ancient tribal rituals with a display of the might of the new, integrated South Africa. Military officers, both black and white, rolled Mandela’s flagdraped coffin to the family burial plot in the village of Qunu. Formations of planes and military helicopters, South African flags flapping from the bellies, flew over the green hills where thousands of mourners had gathered. Several thousand amassed in a huge white tent at the Mandela family compound for the state funeral that preceded a private service at the gravesite. Songs, speeches and the boom of artillery rang
across the fields, and a tribal chief draped in animal skin declared: “A great tree has fallen.” Unlike the public memorial service Tuesday at a stadium that was rife with problems, the funeral and burial — broadcast on many TV channels — went smoothly, although behind schedule. The ceremonies, which mixed solemnity with joy at Mandela’s accomplishments, lasted all morning and into the afternoon. Guests included veterans of the military wing of the African National Congress, the liberation movement that became the dominant political force after the end of apartheid, as well as U.S. Ambassador Patrick Gaspard and other foreign envoys. The burial ended 10 days of mourning ceremonies that included a massive stadium memorial in Johannesburg and three days during which Mandela’s body lay in state in the capital, Pretoria.

After all the planning and jackhammering and track-laying, what the District’s new streetcar line needed was a streetcar. And there it was. “It’s coming. It’s coming,” said Dawn Verdugo, 38, who grew up in San Francisco and imagined being on hand to see that city’s first cable car in 1873. “That’s a big deal.” Many doubted the moment would arrive. But Friday night, workers fit together a massive green steel ramp, loosened the winch on a flatbed truck and slowly lowered a 66-foot-long Czech-made streetcar toward H Street NE. As the first wheels touched the steel track at 9:45 p.m., a half-century after the city’s last streetcar stopped running, spectators cheered. “This is a good holiday gift,” said Anwar Saleem, who worked with three mayors to help bring the streetcar to a 2.4-mile stretch, running east on H Street from behind Union Station, then along Benning Road to Oklahoma Avenue. City officials are planning to extend the H Street/Benning Road line west to Georgetown and east to the Minnesota Avenue and Benning Road Metro stations. Doing so would tie one of the nation’s most iconic and wealthy neighborhoods to a more mixed swath of the capital where a rush of development coexists with poorer neighborhoods and double-digit unemployment.

New Intersection Paves Way for Drivers Washington For 34 years, the intersection of 10th and I streets NW has been an imaginary place, a point of hallowed political ground under the carpeting — and then rubble — of the old
Washington Convention Center. It’s also been a roadblock in the city’s grid that drivers had to go around. But with the construction of CityCenterDC, 10th and I streets have been rebuilt to form an intersection again. In downtown, where every inch of asphalt is increasingly a battleground, the intersection has a little something for everyone: 1,000 feet of pristine new pave-
ment, bike lanes in every direction and about 30 new parking spots. Although no sign marks the road as the site where an estimated 20 million attended speeches and conventions, the glass-and-steel buildings that flank the new roads are a monument to a new era in D.C. The two streets bisect like pizza slices at CityCenterDC, a $1 billion development that is an emblem to the effort by developers to remold

Mayor Vincent Gray said. For now, what Washingtonians may notice most is the new road-
way. For the first time since 1980, commuters can cut south along 10th Street, uninterrupted between Rhode Island and Constitution avenues. East to west, the new block of I Street offers a way to cut corners to New York Avenue and H Street. Neither Google Maps nor Apple Maps yet recognizes the new roads, but alert drivers stuck in traffic have begun to spot their usefulness. A ARON C. DAVIS (THE WASHINGTON POST )
Survey Ranks Earnings of Private College Presidents Washington American University President Neil Kerwin earned about $1.3 million in 2011, according to an annual survey published Sunday, making him the highest-paid leader of a private college or university in the Washington region. The Chronicle of Higher Education survey also found that George Washington University President Steven Knapp earned $1.1 million that year; Georgetown University President John DeGioia earned about $875,000; Howard University President Sidney Ribeau earned about $759,000; Catholic University President John Garvey earned about $547,000; and Gallaudet University President Alan Hurwitz earned about $512,000. None of the university leaders in D.C. ranked among the top 10 earners nationally. The highestpaid president was Robert Zimmer of the University of Chicago,

who received about $3.4 million. American University took issue with how the Chronicle calculated Kerwin’s total compensation, saying Kerwin received a payout of about $438,000 from a deferred compensation account. The Chronicle, examining records for 500 private institutions, found that 42 presidents received more than $1 million in total compensation in 2011, up from 36 the year before.

We’ll Drink to That Holiday parties and libations often go hand-inhand. That’s fine, as long as you imbibe responsibly and don’t drink and drive. To make the latter easier, the Washington Regional Alcohol Program is running its annual SoberRide from now until Jan. 1. Call 1-800-200-TAXI (8294), and SoberRide promises a free cab ride home — as long as the fare is under $30. (If it’s more, you pay the difference.) (THE WASHINGTON POST )

D.C. police say they’ve arrested a juvenile in connection to a burglary earlier this month at the Salvation Army. Police say a custody order was issued Friday charging a juvenile boy in the Dec. 1 break-in at a Salvation Army community center in Southeast. Police said two people broke into the building and stole at least $10,000 in donations collected through the charity’s Red Kettle Program. Authorities say the investigation is continuing. (AP)

It may seem like a good sale at the time, but wait a few weeks to save even more.
Buy These Items After Christmas Shoppers who wait may net better deals in post-holiday sales
electronics, notably the expensive digital SLR cameras from companies such as Nikon and Canon.
Retail
Clothes and accessories are popular for people shopping for themselves, with big markdowns in the mall leading up to Christmas. But if you hold out, you will see even better discounts, beginning immediately after Christmas. That’s because retailers have to clear out winter merchandise quickly to get ready for the influx of spring clothes.
It’s December, the malls are bustling, and “Sale” signs are everywhere. Good time to grab the deals? Not so fast. Savvy shoppers should realize that some items are actually a better deal after the holiday season. Here’s a look at purchases best made in the new year.
Big-Name TVs and Electronics Sure, electronics retailers have pulled out all the stops with doorbuster deals on big f lat-screen TVs. But those are often secondor third-tier brands. If you’re looking for top-brand TVs or TVs with extra features, the best time to buy is February or March, says Lindsay Sakraida, features director at DealNews (deal news.com), which tracks online prices and sales. Why? Because, generally, new electronics models are introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show, the largest electronics industry trade show, which occurs in Las Vegas in January. After that, last year’s models go on sale. The same holds true with other
Winter Wear
Furniture Similar to electronics, home furniture is seasonal, too. But furniture makers release new models in February, so stores need to make room in advance. Thus, January is an excellent time to get good discounts, Sakraida says.
Fitness Gear Unlike other items on the list, fitness gear tends to be a better deal in January, not because its peak selling season is over, but because it’s just beginning. With many Americans trying to stick to New Year’s resolutions to get in shape and lose weight in January, fitness equipment and accessories makers slash prices to drive sales during their peak demand season.

Obama’s Year of Lost Hope President’s ugly 2013 earns him the worst year in Washington, says The Post’s Chris Cillizza Analysis When historians write the story of Barack Obama’s presidency, 2013 will be his lost year. It opened with great promise and closed with great disappointment. In a year that could have been about building his legacy, the president was reduced to salvaging the signature accomplishment of his first term. Second-term presidencies are tricky. The pace of modern politics and the desire of journalists (scourges!) to look ahead to the next campaign put a re-elected incumbent in a race against irrelevancy from the second he is sworn in. Usually, a president has until the midterm elections of his second term to get big things done; then, attention moves on to deciding who will next occupy the White House. But Obama may not have the luxury of even that truncated timeline. The split control in Congress, combined with the tea party’s continued demand for conservative purity from its elected officials and the politicization of just about everything makes it hard to imagine that 2014 will afford Obama any chance to move his

agenda through Congress. All of which makes what happened — or didn’t happen — in 2013 that much more dire for Obama’s chances of leaving a lasting legacy. Obama’s 2012 re-election gave him a mandate to continue in the vein of his first four years. He used that momentum to cut a favorable deal with Republicans to avert the “fiscal cliff,” and he was able to unite the country after the horrific shooting in Newtown, Conn. On Jan. 1, then, it wasn’t difficult to imagine the passage of a broad gun-control measure, an immigration reform package and a series of bills addressing the country’s debt and spending issues. The reasons none of these things came to be are all tied to Obama. First came the scandals. The Internal Revenue Service acknowledged that it had targeted tea party groups’ applications for nonprofit, tax-exempt status and subjected them to heightened scrutiny. Edward Snowden leaked scads of classified materials detailing the vastness of the National Security Agency’s spying operation. Republicans insisted that the administration had covered up information
The Worst (and Best) of the Rest REALLY BAD YEAR
Republicans, for Not Changing One Bit The year began with capitulation to the reelected President Barack Obama on a “fiscal cliff” deal and worked toward a government shutdown for which the GOP got most of the blame. BAD YEAR
Bob McDonnell, for Sinking His Career In July, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said he was “deeply sorry for the embarrassment” he brought to the state after a gifting scandal involving him and his wife. But it was too little, way too late. Buh-bye, political career. NOT-SO-GOOD YEAR
Robert Griffin III, for His Sophomore Slump As if RGIII’s play weren’t bad enough — and it is — there’s a growing perception that he’s a diva. Sophomore slump? Let’s hope so, since the Redskins gave up their first-round draft picks until 2050 or so just to get him. GOOD YEAR
John Kerry, for Risks That Paid Off It’s hard to imagine an American secretary of state having a better first year than Kerry had in 2013. And that’s encouraging, because Syria, Iran, Afghanistan and Mideast peace will still be on his to-do list in 2014. BEST YEAR
Chris Christie, for Winning and 2016 Hype Not only did Christie capture more than 50 percent of the vote in New Jersey’s governor’s race, but he also won female voters by 15 points and claimed a majority of the Hispanic vote. (T WP)
about the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya. And then there was the Affordable Care Act. The federal health insurance exchange rollout was a complete failure — though we didn’t realize it until Republicans reversed course on their own massive flub and reopened the federal government after a 16-day shutdown. As if the self-inflicted wounds and scandals weren’t enough, Republicans spent 2013 in a public slap fight over their party’s direction. Even if the president had been able to extricate himself from the problems, it became clear that there was not one Republican with whom he could negotiate, whether on guns, immigration or anything else. Add it all up, and you get the least-productive Congress in history; the least-popular Congress in history; and a president most Americans no longer like or trust. Yes, the economy is showing signs of improving. And, yes, enrollment on healthcare.gov is soaring compared with the first few weeks. But 2013 is almost gone and with it the president’s best chance for a lasting legacy. Barack Obama, for wasting a year torpedoing your legacy, you had the worst year in Washington. Congrats, or something.

Desmond Trufant deflected Cousins’ pass on a potential winning two-point conversion with 18 seconds remaining, and the Atlanta Falcons edged the Washington Redskins 27-26 on Sunday.

PENALTY YARDS
Down 14-0 in Atlanta, turning the ball over on virtually every play, the Redskins somehow rallied, the Falcons began playing like a much worse three-win team, and the Redskins ran into the locker room at halftime with a 20-17 lead. I truly believed the Redskins would lose that game by 21 points. I was wrong.

on the drive. Well done. Of course, it all ended in familiar fashion: with a loss.
Worst Season
Worst Ball Security Washington set an NFL record by turning the ball over every single time they touched it on Sunday. OK, not quite. But there were an amazing five lost fumbles and two interceptions. The Redskins now have 29 turnovers this season, after turning it over just 14 times in 2012.
DAVID GOLDMAN (AP)
Tony Gonzalez
Much love to Mike Shanahan for going for the two-point conversion and the win when Washington scored with less than 20 seconds remaining. That’s possibly the only decision of his I’ve agreed with over the past week. Or maybe month. Or season. With the offense cruising and Kirk Cousins in rhythm, go win the game.
Worst Day Alfred Morris had lost four fumbles in 29 regular-season games before Sunday. He lost a pair on Sunday, both deep in Atlanta territory.
Worst Atmosphere That Georgia Dome place looked deader this week than FedEx Field looked last week, in a snowstorm. At least FedEx Field was kind of atmospheric, briefly, when the flakes were coming down.
Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant breaks up a two-point conversion attempt intended for Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon.
Best Decision
London Fletcher and Tony Gonzalez are both old. Both have more than 15 years of NFL experience. They were often matched up on Sunday. Gonzalez often got the better of it. He finished with six catches for 62 yards and a touchdown, and also drew a long pass interference call against Fletcher.
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins, left, made his first start of the season Sunday against the Falcons.
The Redskins have now lost six straight games, moving from 3-5 to 3-11. They need to win one of their final two games to avoid 3-13. Washington has not finished 3-13 since 1994, Norv Turner’s first season. Aside from 1994, the Redskins have won at least four games in every season since 1964. This one could be truly memorable.

Claude Giroux, Mark Streit, Sean Couturier and Jakub Voracek scored for Philadelphia, and Michael Raffl had three assists. Washington’s Michael Latta and Philadelphia’s Zac Rinaldo traded punches and were sent off in the second period. Early in the third, the Capitals’ Steve Oleksy and the Flyers’ Wayne Simmonds received majors for fighting. The teams will meet again Tuesday in Philadelphia.

The veteran receiver hadn’t had more than seven catches or 100 yards in a game this season, his first in Minnesota. But on Sunday, he had 11 grabs for 163 yards, including a 57-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
Vernon Davis caught a touchdown pass for the fifth straight game and Michael Crabtree scored his first touchdown since returning from injury to help the San Francisco 49ers beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The victory was the fourth straight for Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers (10-4). The Bucs (4-10) lost for just the second time in their past six games.
The Numbers

Interceptions thrown this season by the Giants’ Eli Manning after he had a career-high five picks Sunday.

“I feel like he’s the most underrated running back in the NFL. He does everything for our offense.” — 49ERS QB COLIN KAEPERNICK on Frank Gore, right, who has gone over 1,000 yards in a season seven times.

30 20 Cam Newton threw for 273 yards and a touchdown and the Carolina Panthers defeated the New York Jets. The Panthers (10-4) bounced back from their worst loss of the season, a 31-13 drubbing last Sunday to the New Orleans Saints. Geno Smith had a touchdown pass and one costly interception in the fourth quarter for the fading Jets (6-8).
48 30 Matt Cassel passed for 382 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score to lead the injurydepleted Vikings to a victory over Philadelphia (8-6), snapping the Eagles’ five-game winning streak. With Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart out, Matt Asiata rushed for the first three touchdowns of his career for the Vikings (4-9-1). (AP)

Full of Surprises CBS
Beyonce drops an album out of the blue — and it’s her best one in a decade
9:30 P.M.
‘Mom’ (CBS) Well, this is awkward. Bonnie (Allison Janney, above right) has a new love interest: Chef Rudy (French Stewart, above left), who happens to be Christy’s (Anna Faris) co-worker. So guess who is caught in the middle of this arrangement? (TRIBUNE MEDIA)
Album Review Don’t be surprised that a new Beyonce album just fell out of the stars without warning. Be surprised that it’s the splashiest cannonball of her career. Be surprised that it’s quirky, and candid, and weird, and raunchy, and so many other things that Beyonce
has never been. Be surprised that she uses “Monica Lewinsky” as a verb. Be surprised that it’s great. Considering this woman spent her 2013 conjuring an illusion of spontaneity from a script that never veers off message, did anyone see this thing coming? Her self-titled fifth album, checking in at 14 songs — packaged with 17 companion videos, all of it released on iTunes late Thursday — is her most compelling offering since 2003’s “Dangerously In Love.” It kinda had to be. Beyonce’s not only asking us to cough up
And the (Twitter) Crowd Went Wild Beyonce’s album caused a stir on social media websites, with fans posting about the release early Friday morning. Twitter said Beyonce’s album release generated more than 1.2 million tweets in 12 hours, with a tweets-per-minute spike of 5,300. (The tweets-perminute count around the album surpassed the record set when the Syfy TV movie “Sharknado” aired in July, Twitter added.) (AP)
time and money during the holiday season, she’s also asking us to forget that her previous album, “4,” was as thrilling as 2 percent milk. Just five minutes into her new songbook, nobody sounds more bored with Beyonce than Beyonce: “I’m climbing up the walls/ ’Cause all this s--- I hear is boring,” she mutters. “All the s--- I do is boring.” So she slams down on the gas, going from control-freaky to freakyfreaky at the speed of R. Kelly’s Maybach. “Rocket” rivals the sex-aphorical wowzas of any Kelly verse, while modernizing the slow drip of a D’Angelo ballad. Beyonce, who performs at the Verizon Center on Wednesday, can still breathe wildfire, of course. Check out “***Flawless,” a feminist salvo that doesn’t need those asterisks in its title to stand out as the album’s most riveting moment. “I took some time to live my life,” she sings. “But don’t think I’m just his little wife.” Her marriage seems stable, though. Duetting with her husband, Jay-Z, on “Drunk in Love,” she raps giddily over 808 booms like she’s playing Double Dutch in an earthquake. Jay tries to eclipse her irreverence but comes up short on charm: “We sex again in the mornin’/ Your breasts-eses is my breakfast.” C’mon, now. As for the music videos — they’re music videos. In one clip, Bey reenacts “From Here to Eternity,” twisting around in black-and-white sea foam. In another, she orbits a vintage skating rink in slow motion like a scene out of “Roller Boogie.” Marketing this thing as a “visual album” may have been a nifty trick to persuade us to fully commit our senses to the experience, but these songs are plenty commanding in their own right.

Film legend was known for his role in ‘Lawrence of Arabia’
Register at washingtonpost.com/postfun
Obituary Peter O’Toole, the charismatic actor who achieved instant stardom as Lawrence of Arabia and was nominated eight times for an Oscar, died Saturday after a long illness, his agent said Sunday. He was 81. O’Toole got his first Academy Award nomination for 1962’s “Lawrence of Arabia,” his last for “Venus” in 2006. With that he set the record for most nominations without ever winning, though he had accepted an honorary Oscar in 2003. A reformed — but unrepentant — hell-raiser, O’Toole long suffered from ill health. Always thin, he had grown wraithlike in later years, his famously handsome face eroded by years of hard drinking. But nothing diminished his

flamboyant manner and candor. “If you can’t do something willingly and joyfully, then don’t do it,” he once said. “If you give up drinking, don’t go moaning about it; go back on the bottle. Do. As. Thou. Wilt.” O’Toole began his acting career as one of the most exciting young talents on the British stage. International stardom came in David Lean’s “Lawrence of Arabia.” With only a few minor movie roles behind him, O’Toole was unknown to most moviegoers when they first saw him as T.E. Lawrence, the mythic British World War I soldier and scholar who led an Arab rebellion against the Turks. A month before his 80th birthday in 2012, O’Toole announced his retirement from a career that he said had fulfilled him emotionally, bringing “me together with fine people, good companions with whom I’ve shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.” GREGORY K ATZ (AP)

‘SNL’ Rushes to Diversify Cast “Saturday Night Live” plans to add one or two black female performers to its cast as soon as January. The NBC sketch comedy confirmed it is answering complaints about its lack of diversity by holding showcases to choose at least one black female cast member. Criticism for the show’s lack of diversity was spurred this fall by its only black cast members, Jay Pharoah and Kenan Thompson. ”SNL” has had just four black women in its regular troupe since 1975.

Paint Branch John Davis and Chris Richards, both formerly of D.C. post-hardcore band Q And Not U, reunited in 2010 to start work on a new project. In January, Paint Branch made its debut with the catchy, occasionally punky full-length “I Wanna Live.” Thursday’s show caps off the year.

‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ The Coen brothers’ latest puts Oscar Isaac, above, in the titular role of a Bob Dylan-esque folk singer navigating New York’s music scene in the 1960s. Like “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” before it, the soundtrack is nearly as important as the acting.

That wide appeal applies to the musical as well, a piece of pleasantly inoffensive fluff that even folks who haven’t seen the 2003 film can enjoy. Watch as Buddy, the human raised as an elf, seeks his true identity in New York.

‘Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues’
A John Waters Christmas
The endless Ron Burgundy media blitz has made it easy to forget that “Anchorman 2” is a movie, not just a way to sell ice cream, Dodge Durangos and museum tickets. If you needed reminding, the film finally hits theaters Wednesday.

? “Still too many calories for soda. If I’m going to drink my calories, I’ll drink alcohol.” — COMMENTER LINDA LOVELUSH AT FOODBEAST.COM remains unim-
pressed with Coca-Cola’s latest product, Coca-Cola Life. The new cola recipe, set to hit U.S. shelves as early as next year, swaps out aspartame for a bit of sugar and zero-calorie stevia. A 20-ounce bottle is said to contain 100 calories, as opposed to the 240 calories in a regular 20-ounce Coke.
“Ask them about something positive in their life. Only after they reply should you ask them how they’re feeling about life in general.” — ERIC BARKER AT THEWEEK.COM

“In the hands of doge, every music review became that much easier to write.” — JEREMY GORDON AT NOISEY.VICE.COM pro-
claims “Doge” one of the Top 10 musicrelated memes of the year. Although not restricted to music, Doge memes — which are made when someone Photoshops the head of a shiba inu dog into a video still — seemed extra fitting for music criticism. Choppy words and phrases float around the screen representing the Doge’s inner-most thoughts. Gordon’s favorite example: “ Yeezus? ‘Wow. Such ego. Much confidence. So Nine Inch Nails.’ ”

Took Long Enough After months of speculation, Khloe Kardashian is ending her four-year marriage to Lamar Odom. The reality TV star filed for divorce Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. She also wants her last name restored to Kardashian from Kardashian Odom.
