President flexing his leverage on issues he has more control over Washington President Barack Obama is assembling an ambitious second-term agenda, pushing aggressively where he thinks he has political leverage but moving more cautiously on issues where he has less control.

Obama is hiking pressure on congressional Republicans on the debt ceiling and immigration, two big issues in which public sentiment and political risks seem to favor him.

His refusal to negotiate on the debt ceiling is an especially sharp departure from his usually accommodating style. Obama is gambling that Republicans will yield to fears of a ferocious public back-

The composition of President Barack Obama’s second term Cabinet became clearer Wednesday with news that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, above left, who oversaw a moratorium on offshore drilling after the BP oil spill and promoted alternative energy sources, will step down in March. In a statement, Obama said Salazar had helped “usher in a new era of conservation for our nation’s land, water and wildlife.” Also on Wednesday, the Senate Armed Services Committee released a statement saying it will hold a confirmation hearing on the nomination of Chuck Hagel to be the next defense secretary Jan. 31.

Public School 33 in the Bronx in New York City. More than 8,000 New York City school-bus drivers and aides went on strike over job protection Wednesday morning, leaving some 152,000 students trying to find other ways to get to school.

America’s best-known banker is getting a big pay cut. JPMorgan Chase said Wednesday that it will dock the pay of CEO Jamie Dimon to $11.5 million from $23 million.

It’s the latest fallout from an embarrassing trading loss at the bank last year, one that eventually ballooned to $6 billion. Its ripple effects have already been numerous, forcing Dimon to appear contritely before Congress and putting the bank squarely in the crosshairs of regulators and lawmakers.

The pay cut didn’t come as a surprise on Wall Street. What set it apart was that it amounted to a reprimand from the bank against a CEO who remains popular and well regarded, despite the stain of a trading loss that Dimon once dismissed as a “tempest in a teapot.” (AP)

In Brief

Immigration, Debt Top Obama’s Next Agenda

not to mention Americans’ lives.

Among the second term’s top-tier issues, immigration may be the one in which Obama enjoys the most leverage. The White House is hinting at a comprehensive bill this year that would include a path toward citizenship for millions of immigrants now in the country illegally.

Many Republicans, stung by heavy losses among Hispanic voters, say they also want to revamp the nation’s immigration laws. But a sweeping bill with citizenship provisions is bound to draw some conservative fire. If Obama goes big, it could put GOP leaders in a bind.

Obama is less aggressive on other issues, such as climate change, where public opinion is divided.

“Republicans are in a double bind over the debt and immigration,” said Democratic strategist Doug Hattaway. “If Republicans cause a debt default and block immigration reform, they will have severely damaged the party’s prospects for recovery from the thrashing they took in November.”

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, whose political career was derailed because of his affair with an Argentine woman, announced Wednesday he will seek his old seat in Congress, saying voters are more concerned about their finances than his past indiscretions.

“I think what they are most focused on is not the fact I have made a mistake and apologized and have tried to do right in my life since,” Sanford said. “What they are focused on is their pocketbook and their wallet.”

The Republican was a strong fiscal conservative long before the advent of the tea party and said he wants to go back to Washington to

restore what he calls “fiscal sanity” to the nation’s finances.

Sanford, 52, was considered a possible contender for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination before his affair was revealed. In 2009, the governor disappeared from his state for five days, with his aides saying he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail.

All along, he was in Argentina.

When he returned, Sanford confessed to the affair in a tearful news conference. He later called Maria Belen Chapur his “soul mate.” The couple plan to marry this summer.

“The apology tour, if you want

to call it that, is over,” he said. “All you can do is say I’m sorry. But at some point you have to lift up your head and start moving.”

Sanford is seeking his old 1st District seat along the state’s coast that became vacant when Gov. Nik k i Ha ley appointed U.S. Rep. Tim Scott to fill the unexpired Senate term of Jim DeMint, who resigned.

Sanford’s ex-wife, Jenny, considered running for the 1st District seat but said Monday she will not. She said being at home with her family was more important.

U.S. Hostages Taken in Algeria

The pilot and one person on the ground were killed and 13 others injured, officials said. (AP)

In what could be the first spillover from France’s intervention in Mali, Islamist militants attacked and occupied a natural-gas complex partly operated by energy company BP in southern Algeria on Wednesday. Two foreigners were killed and dozens of others were taken hostage.

In Rome, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said U.S. officials believe that Americans are among the hostages in Algeria but that they are still trying to determine how many.

“By all indications, this is a terrorist act,” he said Wednesday.

Panetta said it remained unclear whether the hostage-takers are connected to groups that France is fighting in northern Mali.

However, a militant group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in revenge for Algeria’s support of France’s operation against al-Qaeda-linked Malian rebel groups to the southeast.

It said it was holding 41 foreigners, including seven Americans.

A militant spokesman who called the Nouakchott Information Agency, which often carries announcements from extremist groups, did not give any further details except to say that the kidnapping was carried out by “Those

icans and Britons.

Wednesday’s attack began with the ambush of a bus carrying gasplant employees to a nearby airport, but the attackers were driven off, according to Algerian officials.

The attackers then headed to the complex’s living quarters and took a number of workers hostage, according to the Algerian government. Hundreds of Algerians were taken in the attack, but the state news agency reported that they have gradually been released.

French President Francois Hollande launched the surprise operation in its former West African colony on Friday, with hopes of stopping extremists that he believes pose a danger to the world.

The 787, known as the Dreamliner, is Boeing’s newest jet, and the company is banking on its success.

Since its launch, the plane has been plagued by problems including a battery fire and fuel leaks. Japan’s ANA and Japan Airlines are among the first to fly it.

Obama: We All Must Act

President unveils his plan to curb gun violence with an emotional plea

Conceding “this will be difficult,” President Barack Obama urged a reluctant Congress on Wednesday to require background checks for all gun sales and ban both military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines in an emotion-laden plea to curb gun violence in America.

Obama’s sweeping, $500 million plan, coming one month after the school massacre in Connecticut, marks the most comprehensive effort to tighten gun laws in nearly two decades. But his proposals, most of which are opposed by the National Rifle Association, face a doubtful future in Congress.

Seeking to circumvent some opposition, Obama signed 23 executive actions Wednesday, including orders to make more federal data available for background checks and end a freeze on government research on gun violence. But he acknowledged that the steps he took on his own would have less impact than the measures requiring approval from Capitol Hill.

Washington

President Barack Obama signs 23 executive orders Wednesday to enact some of his administration’s new gun-law proposals.

NRA, White House Spar Over Ad The White House on Wednesday called a National Rifle Association video that makes reference to President Barack Obama’s daughters “repugnant and cowardly.” Press secretary Jay Carney said most Americans agree that a president’s children should not be used as “pawns in a political fight.” Carney was referring to an online ad from the pro-gun lobby that calls Obama an “elitist hypocrite” for having armed Secret Service agents protect his daughters at school while voicing skepticism about installing armed guards in all schools.

NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam told The Washington Post on Wednesday that the ad was not directed at Malia and Sasha Obama. “The main aim of the ad is to make sure that we all act to keep our children safe,” he said. (AP/ T WP)

“To make a real and lasting difference, Congress, too, must act,” Obama said at a White House ceremony with children and their parents. “And Congress must act soon.”

His announcements capped a swift and wide-ranging effort, led by Vice President Joe Biden, to respond to the deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

But Obama’s proposals set him up for a tough political fight with Congress as he starts his second term.

“I will put everything I’ve got into this, and so will Joe,” Obama said. “But I tell you, the only way we can change is if the American people demand it.”

Key leaders were tepid in their response. GOP House Speaker John Boehner’s office signaled no urgency to act, with spokesman Michael Steel saying only that “House committees of jurisdiction will review these recommendations.” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he was committed to ensuring that the Senate will consider gun violence legislation “early this year.” But he did not endorse any of Obama’s specific proposals.

Many Democrats say an assault weapons ban faces the toughest road in Congress. Obama wants lawmakers to reinstate the expired 1994 ban on the high-grade weapons and strengthen the measure to prevent manufacturers from skirting the prohibition by making cosmetic changes to banned guns.

Obama said 900 Americans had lost their lives to gun violence in the four weeks since the school shootings.

“We can’t put this off any longer,” the president said. “Every day we wait, the number will keep growing.” JULIE PACE (AP)

Key Provisions A Washington Post analysis of the major proposals in the president’s gun-law overhaul that will require congressional approval. (TWP) A Ban on Assault Weapons and High-Capacity Ammunition Magazines

Requiring Universal Background Checks in Gun Sales

Backstory: Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is set to introduce such a ban in the Senate soon, but its odds of passage don’t look that promising right now. The National Rifle Association opposes such a ban.

Backstory: Compared to an assault weapons ban, there is far greater overall consensus around the issue of strengthening background checks by requiring them in firearm sales at gun shows and in other private transactions.

Odds of Passage: What Polling Shows: Eighty-eight percent of Americans said they support a law requiring background or better checks in sales at gun shows, according to the Washington Post-ABC News poll, including 89 percent of Republicans.

What Polling Shows: A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Monday showed 58 percent of adults and 59 percent of registered voters support a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons. But the issue divides Republicans and Democrats.

Odds of Passage: Less than

50%

75%

Enhancing School Safety Backstory: The Obama administration is proposing enhancing the security of schools and better preparing them to respond to outbreaks of mass violence. The proposal calls to put as many as 1,000 trained police officers and school counselors on the job. Not every school will want the additional resources, and the choice will be left to them.

What Polling Shows: Few seem to disagree on the fact that school safety must improve, but they differ on specifics. The Post-ABC News poll showed that 55 percent support putting armed guards in every school, an idea the NRA put forth. Schools can choose armed guards under the proposal.

Sports Te’o’s Story Of Girlfriend Was a Hoax

Super Matchmaking Instead of rooting for a particular team this weekend, why not root for the best Super Bowl matchup? Here’s a guide to the four possibilities with a handy Madden rating system. If there’s anything that represents the entertainment value of an NFL game, it’s the face of John Madden. JEFFRE Y TOMIK (E X PRES S)

49ers vs. Patriots

Reason to root for matchup: It’s hard to find a more compelling storyline than the HarBowl. In the brothers’ young coaching careers, the Ravens’ John Harbaugh and the 49ers’ Jim Harbaugh have had plenty of success. This was a possible Super Bowl matchup last year, but San Francisco lost to the Giants in overtime in the NFC title game, and Baltimore missed a game-tying 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left vs. the Patriots in the AFC championship.

Reason to root for matchup: Elite offense vs. elite defense. The 49ers’ defense allowed the second-fewest points per game (17.1) and third fewest total yards per game (294.4). Meanwhile, the Patriots’ offense led the league in scoring (34.8 points per game) and total yards (427.9 per game). In their regular-season matchup, the 49ers held the Patriots to three points in the first half, but New England exploded for 31 after the break in a 41-34 San Francisco win.

What to watch: 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick vs. Ravens LB Ray Lewis. What better final stage for Lewis than facing the dynamic 49ers quarterback who ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns in his first postseason game?

What to watch: 49ers LB Aldon Smith vs. Patriots offensive line. The few times Tom Brady has struggled in his career, it’s usually because he’s been under pressure. Smith was second in the NFL with 19½ sacks this season.

Madden Rating (out of five):

Madden Rating:

Falcons vs. Ravens

Falcons vs. Patriots

Reason to root for matchup: Everyone likes an underdog. The Falcons and Ravens are both expected to lose in their conference title games. Despite playing at home, Atlanta is a 3½–point underdog. Baltimore is a 9½-point underdog on the road. Then there’s history. While the 49ers and Patriots have combined for 12 Super Bowl appearances and eight titles, the Falcons and Ravens have each made the Super Bowl once. It’s time for new blood.

Reason to root for matchup: Explosive passing attacks. Led by the top two remaining quarterbacks — Matt Ryan and Tom Brady — the Falcons and Patriots are loaded on offense. Falcons wide receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones each went for over 1,000 yards, and Tony Gonzalez had the second-most catches among tight ends. The Patriots will miss Rob Gronkowski, but they have plenty of different options with Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Aaron Hernandez.

What to watch: Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez vs. Ravens LB Ray Lewis. Two of the all-time greats at their position could be playing in their final game. To think it took Gonzalez 16 seasons before he even won his first playoff game is sad.

What to watch: Ryan vs. Patriots defense. New England coach Bill Belichick is a creative genius on defense. Ryan is just trying to earn respect after completing his third-straight season with double-digit wins and a passer rating in the 90s.

College Football A story about Manti Te’o’s girlfriend dying of leukemia, which the Notre Dame All-American credited with inspiring him as he led the Fighting Irish to the BCS title game, turned out to be a hoax apparently perpetrated against the linebacker, the school said Wednesday.

The university issued a news release Wednesday after Deadspin .com reported it could find no record that Lennay Kekua ever existed.

The university said that Notre Dame coaches were informed by Te’o and his parents on Dec. 26 that Te’o had been the victim of what appeared to be a hoax. Someone using a fictitious name “apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia,” the school said.

The university said “the proper authorities” are investigating a “very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.”

The week before Notre Dame played Michigan State on Sept. 15, coach Brian Kelly told reporters that Te’o’s grandmother and a friend had died. Te’o didn’t miss the game. He said Kekua had told him not to miss a game if she died. Te’o turned in one of his best performances of the season in the 20-3 victory in East Lansing, and his playing through heartache became a prominent theme during the Irish’s undefeated regular season.

Armstrong: ‘I Left It All On the Table’ Cycling Lance Armstrong said Wednesday that viewers can judge for themselves how candid he was in his interview with Oprah Winfrey.

“I left it all on the table with her and when it airs the people can decide,” he said in a text message to the Associated Press.

Armstrong responded to a report in the New York Daily News, citing an unidentified source, that he was not contrite when he acknowledged during Monday’s taping with Winfrey that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

He’s also held conversations with U.S. anti-doping officials, touching off speculation that the team leader who demanded loyalty from others may face tough choices himself: whether to cooperate and name those who aided, knew about or helped cover up a sophisticated doping ring that Armstrong ran on his Tour de France-winning U.S. Postal Service squads.

“I have no idea what the future holds other than me holding my kids,” he said.

Armstrong’s interview hasn’t even aired, but already some people want to hear more — under oath — before he’s allowed to compete again in elite triathlons, a sport he returned to after retiring from cycling in 2011. In addition to stripping him of all seven of his Tour de France titles last year, anti-doping officials banned Armstrong for life from sanctioned events.

Three-way deal sends right-hander A.J. Cole back to Washington

A’s to the Nationals. The Mariners sent catcher John Jaso to Oakland to complete the deal.

The Nationals had been in discussions to trade Morse for weeks, talks that intensified last week once the Nationals re-signed first baseman Adam LaRoche. With LaRoche in the fold and their outfield full, Morse became expendable. Morse, who turns 31 in March, has one year remaining on his contract and will make $6.75 million this season.

Kelly Ducks Oregon for the Eagles Offensive innovator accepts coaching job with Philadelphia NFL In the end, Chip Kelly chose the NFL, giving the Eagles their guy.

Philadelphia hired Kelly on Wednesday, just 10 days after he decided to stay at Oregon. The 49-year-old Kelly, known as an offensive innovator, becomes the 21st coach in team history and replaces Andy Reid, who was fired on Dec. 31 after going 4-12 in his 14th season with the team.

Kelly, who was 46-7 in four years at Oregon, interviewed with the Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills in a two-day span after leading the fast-flying No. 2 Ducks to a victory over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3.

On the day he fired Reid, Lurie appeared to be describing Kelly when he said he wanted to find a “real smart, forward-thinking coach” who is “strategic, a strong leader, very comfortable in his own skin.”

The enigmatic Kelly reportedly

was close to signing with the Browns after a long interview on Jan. 4. He met with the Eagles for nine hours the next day, setting up a soap-opera scenario in which the Eagles were competing with Browns CEO Joe Banner, their former president and longtime friend of Lurie who left the organization after a falling-out.

But that roller coaster ended when Kelly opted to remain — temporarily — in Eugene, Ore. At the time, it was the second-straight

They Don’t Live in a Yellow Submarine Unfortunately, Gringo Star is not a Ringo Starr cover band made up of American ex-pats living in Mexico. No, this Southern-bred garage-rock band is more like any number of indie bands to emerge in the past decade. The quartet melds rough rock with psychedelic freak-outs, surf-rock riffs and a pop sensibility. Was naming the band after the least popular Beatle a defense mechanism or just a jab at poor Ringo? We suspect the latter, but as long as they don’t use gargling as a major orchestral device, they’ll be ahead of their namesake in artistic terms.

Lost & Found Dan Harmon acknowledges Crystal the Monkey, who plays pet monkey Annie’s Boobs on “Community.”

Dan Harmon leaves behind one ‘Community’ and builds another — on a podcast and on the road Comedy Dan Harmon, creator of NBC’s embattled cult comedy series “Community,” boarded an airplane last May, a week after the show was renewed for a fourth season.

By the time he landed in Los Angeles, he had lost his job as “Community’s” head writer — and his luggage, too.

“Getting off the plane, there’s that moment when your phone reactivates and the backlog of messages comes in,” Harmon says. “That’s when I found out [I’d been fired]. Nobody [from NBC] called me and talked to me about it. I found out after the decision had been made.”

The show that he’d devoted the past three years of his life to, that he’d fought tirelessly for, was ripped away from him. To make matters worse, he had to process the news while searching for his luggage.

“So, in the immediate wake of it, I was sitting on a linoleum, fluorescentlit floor outside a dirty little lost-luggage office, with my head between my knees,” he says. “It probably looked like I was sad, but I think you would have assumed it was because I lost my luggage.”

Harmon was thinking about the show’s fans — those ardent die-hards who don’t have Nielsen boxes — and what the change would mean for them.

“I just kept thinking, ‘This is going to be a bummer for the people who get tattoos of the characters, the people who write poems about them, who write fan fiction — they’re the ones that are going to suffer,’ ” he says.

Many reasons contributed to Harmon getting sacked. Since its premiere in the fall of 2009, “Community” has struggled to attract the kind of viewers NBC expects for its Thursday night comedies. According to Nielsen, the last episode Harmon worked on was seen by almost 2.5 million viewers — a fraction of the 14 million viewers who tuned in to the fall finale of “The Voice.”

Harmon, 40, is also a self-described “autocrat” who feuded with his bosses at NBC and whose perfectionism reportedly held up production. “The show was not the result of cooperation,” he says. Then there was his public rift with star Chevy Chase, who also

wound up parting ways with “Community” after Harmon was given the boot.

But the very things that made Harmon a liability were also what helped make “Community” great. He was the show’s nerve center: Each misfit character in the show’s core Greendale Community College study group reflected a part of his personality. And despite its actual ratings, “Community” drew critical acclaim for its high-minded conceptual episodes, rich character development and meta-minded humor.

More people watch the show than Nielsen measures — they just stream it on Hulu or illegally download episodes.

“Community’s” biggest fans live on the Internet, which is why Harmon’s latest project lives there, too.

“Harmontown,” which began in 2011 as a monthly live show for an audience of 50-plus in the back of a comic-book shop in Los Angeles, is Harmon’s nowweekly podcast — a way for him to stay connected with his fans.

Most “Harmontown” episodes, which are recorded live, feature Harmon and

“I could spend the next 20 years sitting in a cave with a notebook and pencil and tap shoes and an overhead projector planning [this tour] and it would fall short of the possibility that exists if I figure it out each place I go.”

co-host Jeff B. Davis pontificating on whatever they feel like. Episodes have included Harmon’s freestyle rapping, a discussion of the merits of the Liam Neeson movie “The Grey” and an ongoing, serialized Dungeons & Dragons quest.

This month, Harmon is bringing “Harmontown” to the people with a 19-date tour across the nation, including a stop in Arlington on Saturday.

He’ll perform a show almost every night — something he’s never really done before. “I did terrible stand-up when I was much, much younger and I stopped doing it because I was bad at it,” he says.

Beyond a continuation of the D&D adventures, he doesn’t have any material planned, either.

“I would never be ready for the tour,” Harmon says. “I could spend the next 20 years sitting in a cave with a notebook and pencil and tap shoes and an overhead projector planning it and it would fall short of the possibility that exists if I figure it out each place I go.”

Davis; Harmon’s girlfriend, Erin McGathy; and a documentary camera crew (headed by “Beauty Is Embarrassing” director Neil Berkeley) are along for the ride. Each show will be released as podcasts as they travel so fans can follow along at home. (A documentary, probably focusing on the tour, will come soon after, Harmon says.)

There’s something bleakly funny about a guy who created a show that allegedly few people watched retreating to the back of a comic-book shop to preach to his followers and then taking the show on the road. Harmon has his own analogy: “I’m like a low-rent Jesus who doesn’t want to do a Sermon on the Mount because it feels too pretentious. He’s still really into himself, so he’s walking down to meet the people and handing them the nails to crucify him with. But while they’re doing it, he’ll say some stuff.”

Occupational Hazards ‘Contractions’ probes the dark (and ridiculous) side of corporate culture Stage

Backstory Duncan Macmillan — whose“Lungs” premiered at Studio Theatre in 2011 — normally identifies as a playwright. But when he was promoting “Contractions” to David Muse, Studio’s artistic director, Muse pushed him to direct. “The only times I’ve directed are when I’ve really believed in a project,” Macmillan says, and “Contractions” fit the bill.

How far would you go to keep your job?

That’s the question asked (again and again) of Emma (Alyssa Wilmoth Keegan) in Studio Theatre’s U.S. premiere of “Contractions.” In this satirical look at corporate control of our everyday lives, Emma squares off with her manager (Holly Twyford), trying to negotiate work-life balance.

“When you first see it, it feels like a very clever, familiar experience,” says director Duncan Macmillan, “but it’s a Trojan horse — [playwright Mike Bartlett] gives you something that feels familiar, and then there’s something lurking in it that’s very subtle and destructive.”

It’s obvious from the play’s start that something is off in the fluorescent conference room set; this is a chilly workplace. And Twyford’s nameless, emotionless character is not a person, even if she is wearing stiletto heels. Instead, she’s the embodiment of a company.

An actor’s job is to communicate with the audience, but Twyford’s task here is,

as Macmillan puts it, “to confidently be onstage and communicate nothing.”

Though the manager doesn’t have a character, she does have a gender. And since “Contractions” deals with the politics of clauses in employment contracts that require employees to disclose personal details, using a female actor was key.

“If you put a man in that part, it becomes about him not having empathy for [Emma]” because he’s male, Macmillan says.

A story of an employee tormented by a sadistic manager would be simple. But what happens over the play’s course is scarier: “The question is,” Macmillan says, “are we giving away access to our private lives?”

Though the creative team behind the play is British, the corporate culture depicted in “Contractions” doesn’t feel foreign.

“America in some ways is like the U.K. with the volume turned up,” Macmillan says. As the play races along, Bartlett turns up the absurdity — and the darkness.

“The most horrifying stuff in the play is also the funniest,” Macmillan says.

The unnamed manager (Holly Twyford, left) questions Emma (Alyssa Wilmoth Keegan).

Words With Prez

On the Spot

Presidents talk a lot — it’s part of their job. And some of the words they use are

COURTESY SACKLER GALLERY

pretty interesting, particularly to Paul Dickson, author of the new book “Words from the White House: Words and Phrases Coined or Popularized by America’s Presidents.”

Dickson, who has also published dictionaries on the languages of baseball and drinking, says he wrote this collection of executive-coined chatter for “the intrigue and the ‘gee-whiz’ factor in some of these stories.” And for some of the entries, the geewhiz factor is high — particularly when you consider that some of the phrases have affected how we think about ourselves as Americans. K RISTEN PAGE-K IRBY (E X PRES S)

When Paul Singer died in 1997, he left a two-bedroom apartment in New Jersey stuffed with history. Not his own: Singer, a psychiatrist, was a collector of ancient Chinese artifacts. His collection eventually went to the Sackler Gallery, where its highlights compose “One Man’s Search for Ancient China.” Curator Keith Wilson spoke to us about how the Sackler got the collection.

Beyond the obvious similarities — both were psychiatrists, both were interested in Asian art — were Arthur Sackler and Paul Singer alike?

By the ’50s, Sackler was incredibly well established; he was a well-known collector. He could buy anything he wanted to.

He was interested in masterworks and he tended to buy collections from collectors.

Singer was on his own personal mission to develop a collection that explained early China without totally relying on established paradigms and well-known masterworks.

Founding Fathers

War Room

Squatter

Warren G. Harding created this favorite American term; before his 1920 campaign, Jefferson, Adams et al were called “The Framers.” “If you say ‘Framers,’ it sounds like guys who came into your house and built something,” Dickson says. “ ‘Founding Fathers’ makes them sound almost like a collective body of wisdom. People now say, ‘Oh, the Founding Fathers, this was their thinking.’ The reality of the Founding Fathers was they didn’t think alike. They were, in fact, framers — a bunch of guys coming in and working together to create something.”

It was during the Spanish-American War that William McKinley created this phrase, which now means any place that’s the center of planning anything. “All of a sudden, McKinley realizes he’s got a telephone, a telegraph and a box of maps,” Dickson says, meaning that McKinley could receive up-to-the-minute news about what was going on over on San Juan Hill and keep all that information in one central location. “So, he clears out a room and declares, ‘Now I have a war room.’ ”

The problem with this word, coined by Founding Father (um, Framer) James Madison, is that “it doesn’t fit with the way you typically build words” in English, Dickson says. Namely, it doesn’t come from “proper” languages such as Latin or Greek. This drove the Brits bonkers. “The British gave us this language — it was the King’s English. And we were supposed to just use it, not change it,” Dickson says. “But in America, the impulse is to have a descriptive language, the language of the trapper and the farmer and the militiaman, and not necessarily the language that’s being handed down from on high.”

What pieces did Singer end up with?

Things that were collected in large part as art. Context was much less important to collectors in the late 19th and early 20th century. But as archaeology developed in China, scholars and collectors came to recognize the importance of provenance.

The archaeologically driven issues made the pieces infinitely more interesting.

They’re still studied as beautiful objects, but it’s what the artifacts say about society and their users that’s interesting to scholars and the general public. FIONA ZUBLIN (EXPRESS) Arthur M.

Michelangelo, Interrupted

An unfinished statue prompts questions about the artist’s intent Exhibits

We a l l have days when we fail at multitasking.

Michelangelo could relate.

The Renaissance man — who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel — left unchecked items on his to-do list. His never-finished circa-1530 marble statue “David-Apollo,” on

view at the National Gallery of Art through March 3, is a testament to a harried life.

“More than half of Michelangelo’s marble works were not finished,” says Alison Luchs, the museum’s curator of early European sculpture. “He would take on huge amounts of work and be carving several things at once. Evidence suggests he intended to finish them, but he kept getting assigned a new project or having to transfer his place of work.”

“David-Apollo” is also open to

Obje t Lessoc ns

Brought here as part of the events connected to 2013’s “Year of Italian Culture” (see box above for details) and on loan from Florence’s Bargello museum, “David-Apollo” is a repeat guest in the West Gallery. The statue was previously on view at the National Gallery of Art in 1949, in a display that coincided with President Harry Truman’s inauguration. Nearly 800,000 people viewed the work then (including, presumably, Truman, whose inaugural reception was held there Jan. 20, 1949).

2013: The Year of Italian Culture “David-Apollo” is in town as part of an Italian-sponsored series of programming across the U.S. and Italy. About 70 U.S. institutions in more than 40 cities are featuring events and displays celebrating Italy’s art, music, film, scientific achievements and more. Washingtonians can look forward to many more Italianaccented events throughout the year, including these scheduled exhibitions: Leonardo da Vinci’s 1505 “Codex on the Flight of Birds” at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in May; Rome’s classical “The Dying Gaul” statue at the National Gallery of Art in October; and a multimedia exhibit about Martin Waldseemuller’s 1507 world map, which was the first to feature “America” (named after Italian Amerigo Vespucci), at the Library of Congress in December. K.A.

If this were meant to represent David, the mass under the figure’s right foot could have been taking shape as the head of a vanquished Goliath.

Even on areas that appear lifelike, such as the face, the sculpture’s texture signals that the work is incomplete. The “wonderful veil of chisel marks” (which ultimately would have been polished away) offers a glimpse into Michelangelo’s artistic process, curator Alison Luchs says. Yet, “David-Apollo” may have pleased the artist even at this stage. “You get a sense that he really loved seeing [his sculptures] in the state of becoming,” Luchs says, “seeing figures emerging from the rough stone … when they were still full of possibilities.”

interpretation, which is why it has two names. Some scholars believe it was intended to represent David, the mythical figure who killed the giant Goliath; others believe it is the Greek god Apollo. It’s possible Michelangelo never decided which of the figures he was carving, Luchs says: “It may have started as one and was changing into the other.”

The mass on “David-Apollo’s” back could have been a quiver to hold arrows (if this were to be Apollo) or a sling (for David). Around the time Michelangelo created “David-Apollo,” his allegiances were divided: He had strong ties to on-again-off-again Florentine rulers the Medici (one of their allies had commissioned the work), yet he had also supported the city’s rebels, for whom David was a key symbol.

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Rapper and actor Common plays an ex-con trying to lead by example in ‘Luv’ Screen

The Outsiders In “MAMA,” opening Friday, a couple has to raise young nieces who had been living alone in a forest for five years. There are benefits to fresh air, but more often in movies, the woods are just a really good place to go evil/crazy/dead. K.P.K.

LUV FILMS 5

Whenever rapper-actor Common speaks to children and teens, whether he’s greeting fans or at an official event, the pressure is on.

“I feel like, ‘Let me say something that’s going to inspire them, some words they can walk with the rest of their life,’ ” says Common, who stars in “Luv,” opening Friday. “Because you don’t know when you’re going to have another time.”

Uncle Vincent, Common’s character in the Baltimore-set film, feels the same way. After spending eight years in prison, Vincent, who’s now living with his mother, sets out one day to teach his young nephew Woody (Michael Rainey Jr.) how to be a man. The day starts out with discussions about girls, a trip to get Woody a custom-tailored suit and a hilariously halting driving lesson in a parking lot (the 11-yearold can barely see over the wheel), but slowly descends into crime and violence as Vincent encounters obstacles in his pursuit to start a legitimate business.

“Fundamentally, [Vincent] is making small choices that turn into bad decisions,” Common says.

“Fundamentally, [Vincent] is making small choices that turn into bad decisions.”

— COMMON, ON HIS CHARACTER IN THE BALTIMORE-SET FILM “LUV”

“If that’s the world you’re used to, you may have the desire to do better, but sometimes the walls go up even quicker.”

The way Vincent explains things to his nephew, much of being a man is the complete absence of fear, whether Woody is talking to girls, eating his first oyster or firing a gun. “Not showing fear was something I would teach a young

person differently than Vincent,” Common says. “Fear is something that I say if you feel it, you have to deal with it and realize that nothing will destroy you, that God’s got you. [Vincent’s] route was a shorter route, to say, ‘You ain’t gotta fear nothing.’ He was teaching what he knew the only way he could teach it.”

Though the film uses a largely African-American cast and an

indies & arties

urban setting to examine masculinity, Common says race plays a relatively minor role in Vincent’s definition of manhood.

“I love that the story can be told from the perspective of a black human being, but any human can relate to it,” he says. “It does give people more insight into struggles people can go through, specifically black people, but I remember watching ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and thinking, ‘This is cool — the guy in the story is Indian, but anyone can relate to it.’ Those are the stories I want to be a part of.”

Once Trashed, Now Treasured Daring chefs embrace and elevate formerly scorned food scraps Trends Two decades ago — or even just a few years back, before the great economic calamity of 2008 — many of the featured ingredients on sous-chef Adam Brick’s current tasting menu at Graffiato would have been found rotting in the trash. Pineapple skins. Lamb hearts.

Egg shells. The tough little side muscle on a sea scallop that’s typically excised.

Back then, few self-respecting, chefdriven restaurants would have considered serving an ingredient such as beef tendon, the stuff often seen floating in a bowl of soup at suburban pho parlors. In the white-tablecloth world of fine dining, beef has always meant rib-

eye or filet mignon, or perhaps sirloin if you’re really slumming it. But right there among Brick’s new dishes is a small plate of beef tendon, a tough connective tissue that requires prolonged heat to soften into something rich and gelatinous and delicious.

The tendon is just one of 12 courses that Brick has conceived for his $85 “Gems” tasting menu, which is now offered every Sunday and Monday at the six-seat bar upstairs at Graffiato. Served

on a split veal bone with a soft-scrambled egg infused with smoked marrow, the tendon takes its place among other “gems”: diced lamb-heart tartare with smoked yogurt; halibut tail meat glazed with chicken-wing sauce; raw tuna marrow in a broth prepared with the fish’s roasted spine; fried chips made from purees of rice and those tough scallop muscles; an egg-shell meringue sprinkled over chocolate custard.

Eccentric on its own, Brick’s tast-

At Graffiato, souschef Adam Brick, above, harvests meat from a roasted halibut tail, below. The whole fish can cost hundreds, so Brick buys only the tail. He also buys tuna spines, top left, from which he extracts the marrow and serves it raw in a broth prepared with the fish’s roasted spine, top right.

ing menu is a departure for Graffiato, the small-plates restaurant that former “Top Chef” contestant Mike Isabella conceived as an homage to his Italian-American roots. It’s like Graffiato’s own minibar, but with ingredients foraged from the garbage.

The “gems” menu is also the strutting, rock-star front man of the scrap trend already under way at fine-dining restaurants.

“If we don’t use all the byproducts,” says Cathal Armstrong, chef and owner at Restaurant Eve, “there is no way that fine dining could survive.”

In the early 1990s, Armstrong was a saucier at Vidalia, when chef and owner Jeff Buben required cooks to have a hotel pan at their station for scraps.

Such a basic conservation philosophy has hardened into a rigid waste-nothing mind-set in recent years, Armstrong notes. Diners, the chef says, are loath these days to pay an extra dime for dinner, yet food costs soar. That often is why chefs embrace whole-animal butchery in their restaurants, where they can buy and break down entire carcasses.

But whole-animal cooking requires a chef who knows how to turn off-cuts and byproducts into appealing dishes. Take, for example, the veal hearts from the Randall Lineback calves that Armstrong buys.

“Very often that’s a cut of meat that’s thrown in the trash can,” Armstrong says.

Instead of tossing those organs, Armstrong brines them for a couple of days before slowly braising them until tender. He’ll sell plates of the braised hearts to select customers who show an affinity for offal.

Cooper breaks down wild Scottish hares, using the legs for rillettes, the bones for consomme, the loins for a poached-and-roasted dish and the ribs for a pint-size rack of rabbit.

“jOBS”

“Before Midnight”

“Kill Your Darlings”

“Lovelace”

In this 12th season of “American Idol,” no one cares about the singers.

The big question is: What’s up with the judges? Nicki Minaj, above right, has already threatened to kill Mariah Carey, above left. (Well, that’s what Mariah said.) Here’s a look at the allegedly dueling divas, culled from the twonight premiere, which began Wednesday and continues tonight at 8 on Fox. Hair wars: Nicki’s hair is bigger

By Marc Silver and blonder. True, it’s a wig, but as the joke goes, she paid for it so it’s definitely her hair.

Nurturing chops: Mariah is kinda boring: “Your potential is great.”

Nicki is FREAKIN’ AWESOME: “Babe, I really mean what I say when I say you are special. I love that you own it.”

Likely heir to Paula Abdul Crazypants crown: Nicki, who voted “no” for a female auditioner because she had on the same color eyeshadow as Nicki and thus “we have a rivalry.”

Evidence of tensions: Nicki assessing a contestant: “Her range is better than Mariah’s.” Mariah: “This is what I deal with [at] my job.”

Keith Urban’s perspective: The soft-spoken country singer sits between the two women. He says: “I swear I feel like a scratching post.”

Little Indies, Big Deal The Sundance Film Festival has become one of the industry’s top events of the year Film It’s that time of year, when a tiny skiresort town becomes the place to be for anyone in show business — stars and directors, distribution executives, musicians, unknown filmmakers hoping that people might want to hear the stories they tell.

The Sundance Film Festival, which opens on Thursday, takes over Park City, Utah, for a week

and a half every January. Anything resembling a theater is booked with screenings. Bars and restaurants are stuffed with people talking deals, or discussing something crazy or unexpected they just saw on screen.

“It’s almost like Burning Man. Once a year, this tiny little town transforms itself into kind of a crazy film city,” says writer-director Lynn Shelton (“Your Sister’s Sister”), a Sundance regular who returns this year with “Touchy Feely,” about a massage therapist suddenly struck by an aversion to touching others.

The top U.S. showcase for independent cinema, Sundance has grown along with the do-it-yourself

film world and has played a huge role in creating opportunities for low-budget filmmakers.

Robert Redford started the festival in 1985 as an offshoot of his Sundance Institute, which offers professional support to indie filmmakers.

The first year, the festival showed

At this year’s event, Sundance is playing 119 feature films from 32 countries, culled from about 4,000 that were submitted.

a couple of dozen films. This year, Sundance is playing 119 feature films from 32 countries, culled from about 4,000 that were submitted.

Now the name Sundance is almost a synonym for the possibilities of independent film. The festival helped launch the careers Steven Soderbergh, Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino and has premiered such Oscar winners and nominees as “Little Miss Sunshine,” “Precious,” “Winter’s Bone” and “Beasts of the Southern Wild.”

“It’s gotten pretty overwhelming,” Redford says. “I never anticipated that it would get to this size.”

Director Kathryn Bigelow believes torture played a role in finding Osama bin Laden.

‘It Is a Part Of the Story’ ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ director defends her depiction of torture Film Director Kathr y n Bigelow is defending the torture scenes in her Oscar-nominated film “Zero Dark Thirty,” saying torture was an undeniable part of the hunt for Osama bin Laden after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The film opens with a declaration that it’s based on firsthand accounts of actual events. But Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and other lawmakers have criticized the film as misleading for suggesting that torture led to intel on the location of bin Laden. Lawmakers asked Sony Pictures to attach a disclaimer that the film is fictional.

“Experts disagree sharply on the facts and particulars of the intelligence hunt, and doubtlessly that debate will continue,” Bigelow wrote in an op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday. The comments were Bigelow’s most explicit reaction to the controversy so far.

“As for what I personally believe, which has been the subject of inquiries, accusations and speculation, I think Osama bin Laden was found

THE 85TH OSCARS F E B . 2 4 | 7 P. M . | A B C

Controversy Slows Oscar Momentum Congressional scrutiny over torture may be affecting “Zero Dark Thirty’s” Academy Awards hopes. At least one member of the academy, David Clennon, has said he won’t vote for the film because of how it depicts torture. Oscar historian Tom O’Neil says “Kathryn Bigelow paid a price for giving torture such a starring role in this movie. ... Some people are being thrown by” the controversy. (AP)

due to ingenious detective work,” she continued. “Torture was, however, as we all know, employed in the early years of the hunt. That doesn’t mean it was the key to finding bin Laden. It means it is a part of the story we couldn’t ignore.”

Bigelow also wrote that the backlash may be misdirected.

“I do wonder if some of the sentiments alternately expressed about the film might be more appropriately directed at those who instituted and ordered these U.S. policies, as opposed to a motion picture that brings the story to the screen,” she wrote. (AP)

Max Joseph, left, and Nev Schulman uncover online identities on MTV’s “Catfish.”

Online Dating Detectives The stars of ‘Catfish’ help people discover if their virtual loves exist in the real world Television A new thriller has hit TV airways, and crime scenes are not involved.

MTV’s “Catfish: The TV Show” (Mon., 11 p.m.) — the spin-off of the 2010 documentary “Catfish,” about Nev Schulman’s journey to find his online love — follows Schulman and filmmaker Max Joseph as they help people discover if the virtual matches the reality. Here, Joseph chats about entering the world of online love and getting “catfish”-ed.

How have Facebook and the Internet changed dating?

Meeting and dating started on a physical level. You would see someone out, and you had to have the confidence to approach them and hope you fell in love. Now it’s sometimes the opposite. You fall in love with them, then you meet — the physical becomes secondary.

Everyone knows that people lie on the Internet, so how do they get in these situations?

It plays into your vanity. You could be catfishing me right now.

Warning Signs

Featuring:

“Catfish’s” Max Joseph suggests looking out for these red flags before starting an online relationship: “If the person is cagey about doing a video chat.”

“Career red flag: Model. Really model slash anything not related to modeling. It’s always a model.”

“If the person doesn’t want to meet up.”

“If it’s too good to be true. ...

What’s great about the Internet is you can let the fantasy run free.”

“Photos: Friends aren’t tagged and all the photos are of them without a shirt on.” (T WP)

■ Metro Alerts: Get updated advisories from Metro.

What advice do you give to help people avoid being catfished?

It’s virtual contraception. You should do a certain amount of researching — 10 minutes or so is enough — on any person you’re getting involved with, to protect yourself.

certain — to say whatever is on his mind, no matter the setting or how offensive it is. Unlike the gaffe-prone characters on Ricky Gervais’ “The Office,” Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” or Louis C.K.’s “Louie,” there’s scant story to explain Jim’s outbursts. There’s very little situation in this situation comedy.

While chatting with his agent, Steve (Dan Bakkedahl), in a passport office, Jim explains how he’d like a child without the burden of

marriage. He thinks this could be best arranged by dating and impregnating a woman with terminal cancer who would conveniently die soon after giving birth. In his logic, he could have sex, get a child and look like a hero.

He says this all within earshot of a female passport agent who reacts in horror.

The scene Jefferies int roduces t he show’s signature style of rude, unfiltered humor and is probably intended to clear the television audience of any female viewers. K E V I N M C D O N O U G H (UNIVERSAL UCLICK)

“Icely done, Google. …

Remember when you used to go to the rink as a kid and got kicked off the ice so some old burly dude can make it all smooth and slippery again? With this Google Doodle game, you get to be that burly dude. And man, how I feel his pain.”

— Natt Garun at DIGITALTRENDS.COM was a fan of Wednesday’s Google Doodle commemorating the 112th birthday of Frank Zamboni, the creator of the popular ice-resurfacing machines.

“I’m sure North Dakota is beautiful, but there are upsides to living in a place where independent women exert a great deal of influence over the culture.”

— Amanda Marcotte at SLATE .COM/BLOGS/XX_FACTOR.HTML

comments on a New York Times story about an oil town in North Dakota where the ratio of single men to women is 1.6 to 1, creating what she calls a hostile and stifling environment for women.

“Back in the ’80s, no one would have picked Todd Bridges to be the sole surviving cast member of ‘Diff’rent Strokes.’ RIP, Conrad Bain.”

— @DCUNIVERSE thinks back to the cast of the NBC sitcom after Bain, aka Mr. Drummond, died Monday of natural causes at age 89.

“Does the N.R.A. truly not know why the daughters of the president require a personal security detail but other children do not?”

— Juli Weiner at VANITYFAIR .COM/ONLINE/DAILY is flabbergasted by a new National Rifle Association ad in which the narrator says: “Are the president’s kids more important than yours? Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools, when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school.”

“I just made a ‘Kriss Kross will make you wanna jump jump off a bridge’ joke, so I’m done for the day.”

— @LINDSEYWEBER reacts to news that the rappers who made the 1992 hit “Jump” are reuniting to perform at a 20th anniversary concert for So So Def Recordings in Atlanta in February.

Sudoku

DIFFICULT

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are eager to know what someone else is thinking, but by the time you decipher his or her “code,” it may be too late. Be more direct.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may be introduced to something new and exciting by someone who has taken you completely by surprise. You’re ready to give it all a try.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The reason you are ready to take on new responsibility is because your confidence has increased dramatically over the past few days.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) What gives you a thrill may not have the same effect on a loved one — and vice versa.

It’s time for you to find common ground.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone touches you in an unusual way today, and you’re likely to feel some things that you were not expecting to feel.

Yesterday’s Solution

Yesterday’s Solution

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Even you can have too much of a good thing — but you usually know it when it happens. Today, you must be sure not to go overboard.

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row.

Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It’s time for you to do exactly what you want to do — provided, of course, you’ve dispensed with the business you are paid to do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You can accomplish much today simply by sticking to the game plan. Later, improvisation can bring you a personal thrill.

Comics

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are seeking the right answers, but it is taking longer than expected because you are asking the wrong questions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll find yourself doing something you had promised yourself you would not do — but the extraordinary reasons nullify such a promise.

Unattractive Man Makes Subjective Judgments Howard Stern has apologized for calling “Girls” star Lena Dunham “a little fat girl who kind of looks like Jonah Hill,” Usmagazine.com reported. “I felt bad because I really do love the show ‘Girls’ … and I admire the girl who writes it,” he said Monday. “It makes me feel bad, and I think she is getting the impression that I somehow think she’s just a talentless little fat chick.” (EXPRESS)

Attractive Woman States Some Well-Known Facts Seeing three exes — Ben Affleck, Diddy and Bradley Cooper — at the Golden Globes didn’t bother Jennifer Lopez, she said Wednesday on “Ellen.” “I see them a lot,” she said.

“We’re in the same business.” Of Affleck, she mused, “they were really hard on us in the press when we dated back in the day.” (EXPRESS)

Ryan Seacrest “would be very, very difficult to replace,” “American Idol” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe told TMZ.com. “He’s not on an earpiece or anything. He’s not beholden to anybody. He controls the show.” However, “I’ve never believed that ‘Idol’ … is beholden to any individual because everybody said it would die the minute Simon Cowell left.” (EXPRESS)

No one suggested Lohan is taking money for sex. (E XPRESS)

Totes Obvs, Duh Town & Country has deemed Prince Harry the world’s most eligible bachelor. “Prince William’s baby brother flirts and flies Apache helicopters with equal aplomb,” the magazine fawned. “He’s the wild-card royal, the naughty one, the one who goes out with rah women, hangs out with a fast crowd, downs too many drinks, and goes home at the wrong moment.” More fawning: “Harry might not possess a towering intellect … but he is cooler and more appealing than his older brother.” (E XPRESS)
