page three Inmate lawmaker votes 19th against prison porn ban VIRGINIA Some snickered and wondered if Del. Joseph Morrissey might have had a conflict of interest Wednesday when he voted against a bill to keep “obscene materials” out of the hands of Virginia prison inmates.

Morrissey has been spending his nights in jail since before the start of the current legislative session, on a misdemeanor charge related to his relationship with a 17-year-old.

The lawmaker, who won reelection literally from his jail cell and has since been charged with four felonies on top of the earlier charge, has caused much hand-wringing and consternation in Mr. Jefferson’s Capitol.

But Wednesday it was Morrissey who said he was taking the high road.

The disgraced lawmaker said he could have avoided the “childish comments” and “jeers and sneers” had he voted with the

Morrissey says he could have avoided jeers, but took high road instead

Virginia Del. Joseph Morrissey is the story that keeps on giving.

majority in favor of barring the obscene materials.

However, Morrissey, who said he taught constitutional law in Ireland and Australia while disbarred in Virginia, said the bill wouldn’t pass legal muster.

“I don’t believe the bill if challenged in court would survive a constitutional challenge. The bill does not describe what obscene materials is,” he said.

Del. Steven Landes, the prime sponsor of the bill, which passed 86 to 13, said the bill echoes a ban on pornography in federal prisons and said the community standards

rules apply in both cases.

Landes said the local warden at Augusta Correctional Center has been trying to rectify the problem for years, but printed materials — although not magazines — come in through the mail.

Asked whether he thought Morrissey should have abstained, Landes declined to comment.

A second indictment unsealed in January alleges that Morrissey, 57, submitted a forged document as evidence and lied under oath in the earlier case.

His next court date is Monday.

New radio problems found REGION D.C. officials said Wednesday that firefighters have recorded 10 radio failures inside Metro stations in the three weeks since a woman died on a smoke-filled train.

During the Jan. 12 incident, firefighters in the L’Enfant Plaza Metro station could not relay news to commanders above ground that a train was trapped with hundreds of people onboard.

Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday said she had ordered continuous testing of city firefighters’ radios until issues in Metro stations and tunnels are resolved. “Every station should be touched every week,” Bowser said. “I expect that this is the new protocol for the foreseeable future.”

Previously, firefighters tested their radios in Metro stations

monthly, and occasional radio malfunctions were filtered through an informal network of radio and IT staffers at the city’s fire department and Metro, officials have said.

Firefighters’ radios failed in the exact spot of the Jan. 12 incident several days prior, when they responded to a debris fire.

They were still not working properly at the time of the disaster.

Outages in other stations had

also been reported in December.

However, in a systemwide test of all stations completed about two weeks ago, D.C. firefighters and personnel from the Office of Unified Communications found nine instances in which radios failed.

Those failures were relayed to Metro and work began immediately to correct the problems, D.C. officials said Wednesday.

Another round of tests was completed last week, and in that series,

one radio failure was recorded.

Testing is performed at Metro entrances, kiosks, platforms and on the trains as they pass through the tunnels of the Metro system.

D.C.’s issues mirror emergency radio outages discovered recently by firefighters in Metro stations in Montgomery County, Md. Montgomery officials said the problem was discovered during a routine test of radio communications. Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said the problem was limited to one end of the Wheaton station and that it was fixed Monday.

Bowser on Wednesday suggested communications are improving with Metro in fixing the problems. “We have a regular communication with Metro on any of our findings, and we’ve also issued additional protocol to our first responders about what they should do,” she said, “just so they know all of the methods available to them if they find suboptimal communication.”

D.C. taps advocate for black community Bowser names city’s first African-American Affairs director ever THE DISTRICT The District government, for the first time, has a full-time director of African-American Affairs.

The appointment comes more than three years after the D.C.

Still no date for streetcar opening THE DISTRICT Leif Dormsjo, the new acting director of the D.C. Department of Transportation, said Tuesday that the agency is fully cooperating to get the safety certification necessary to open a long-delayed streetcar line, but declined to offer an opening date.

It is still unclear how long it will take to complete the safety certification process, Dormsjo said. He said his first step coming into office last month was to ensure the D.C. State Safety Oversight Office of DDOT’s complete cooperation and compliance during the process.

“I am holding back from putting any dates out there because I made a commitment to the independent SSOO that he can tell me it is ready to go in two weeks, or two months or two years,” Dormsjo told members of the council’s transportation committee during a hearing. “I apologize if not providing a date is frustrating, but it is the only way that I think we should be treating this.”

awaiting an opening while the cars have been testing the routes for months. The latest opening date was scheduled for last month.

Dormsjo said he understands the growing frustration, but that safety is the top priority, and getting the safety certification is the first step toward launching the 2.2-mile streetcar line.

Committee Chair Mary Cheh said she hopes the city takes a step back to assess the plans for the proposed 20-mile-plus network. “What we really need to do is … step back and assess where we are and make a plan for the future,” Cheh said. “We can’t keep going the way we were going.” LUZ LAZO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Rescuers used a crane to hoist the fuselage of the plane from a river Wednesday as they searched into the night for 17 people missing in a crash that killed at least 31 others, NBC News reported.

Shortly after takeoff, one of the plane’s pilots sent a frantic message: “Mayday, Mayday, engine flameout.” A flameout is engine failure — when the fuel supply to the engine is interrupted or there is faulty combustion,

Reuters reported.

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said it had sent 165 people and eight boats to the riverside rescue scene, joining fire department rescue crews.

Rescuers in rubber rafts pulled 15 people alive from the wreckage during daylight. After dark, they brought in the crane, and the death toll was expected to rise once crews were able to search through submerged portions of the fuselage, which came to rest a few dozen yards from the shore.

The plane’s wing hit a taxi on the freeway, injuring two, TransAsia director Peter Chen said. Chen said contact with the plane was lost four minutes after takeoff. He said weather conditions were suitable for flying and the cause of the accident was unknown. (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

Six people were killed in the Tuesday evening collision between the SUV and a MetroNorth train about 20 miles north of New York City.

The driver — whom family friends identified as Ellen Brody, 49, a jewelry store employee

— had calmly gotten out of her Mercedes SUV momentarily after the crossing gates came down around her and hit her car, according to the motorist behind her, Rick Hope. “She looked a little confused, gets back in the car and pulls” onto the tracks, Hope told WNYW-TV. Authorities said the impact of the crash was so powerful the electrified third rail came up and pierced the train.

The proportion of men who said they’d date a woman who made “considerably more” money and was bettereducated than they were.

The report dubs this the “[George] Clooney effect,” referring to the actor’s recent marriage to international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney.

Additionally, 39 percent of men surveyed said they would date a woman who was more than 10 years older than they were.

The proportion of respondents who said they believe it’s possible to remain married to one person for life, according to the survey. However, 65 percent of single men and 77 percent of single women said that being married more than once didn’t mean you’d failed. About a third of single men and women said it was fine to “leave a satisfactory marriage if you are no longer passionately in love.”

nation+world TECHNOLOGY The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission just said he’s proposing the “strongest open Internet protections” the Web has ever seen.

In a Wired op-ed published Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced he wants to regulate Internet providers with the most aggressive tool at his disposal: Title II of the Communications Act, which will allow the FCC to enforce privacy rules on carriers and extract funds from Internet providers to be used as subsidies, according to people

familiar with the plan.

In addition to covering fixed broadband providers such as Comcast and Time Warner Cable, the draft rules would cover wireless providers such as T-Mobile and Sprint. The rules would also make speeding up or slowing down Web traffic illegal.

It all adds up to the most significant intervention ever undertaken by federal regulators to make sure the Web remains a level playing field. It is, depending on your ideology, either an unprecedented example of government overreach or the most

FCC boss goes strong for net neutrality

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler wrote an op-ed Wednesday calling for tough rules on net neutrality.

“My proposal assures the rights of Internet users to go where they want, when they want,” Wheeler wrote, “and the rights of innovators to introduce new products without asking anyone’s permission.”

The FCC is expected to vote on the proposed rules on Feb. 26.

Wheeler’s proposal has Republican critics seething with Senate Commerce Committee chairman John Thune calling it a “power grab,” in a statement. BRIAN FUNG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Our fight will be relentless’ Horrific act of burning Arab pilot alive triggers Muslim outrage against Islamic State militants

Was Jordan’s eye-for-an-eye tactic worth it?

KARIN LAUB (AP) AND WILLIAM BOOTH AND

It was an act of revenge. Hours after news emerged that the Islamic State had burned alive captured Jordanian pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, Jordan responded by hanging two convicted terrorists whose release had been demanded by the Islamic State during what proved to be futile negotiations to release al-Kaseasbeh and a Japanese journalist.

The executions underscore the darkness of the moment. Jordan’s military has vowed an “earthshattering” retaliation and the slain pilot’s father told reporters he wants the militant group “to be eliminated completely.”

But the question remains, what purpose did hanging these two convicts — bargaining chips that clearly didn’t matter much to the Islamic State — serve? The pair were already on death row and had gone through the Jordanian legal system. The timing of the executions was beyond symbolic.

Was it a statement of intent from Amman? There are other ways a country’s leadership can communicate its steely resolve. A warning to other militants? They probably don’t care. A fleeting catharsis for an angered public?

Perhaps, but governments should not be in the business of pandering to such instincts.

Indeed, the argument can be made that carrying out these executions is exactly what the Islamic State, described as a “mass death cult,” wanted Jordan to do. And it has invited us to live together under the most blunt and unimaginative law ever promulgated: An eye for an eye.

TAYLOR LUCK (THE WASHINGTON POST)

ISHAAN THAROOR

MAJDI MOHAMMED (AP)

AMMAN, JORDAN Jordan called Wednesday for a decisive battle against the Islamic State militant group, declaring that “this evil can and should be defeated,” after the militants burned a Jordanian pilot to death in a cage and gleefully broadcast the horrific images on outdoor screens in their stronghold.

“We will be on the lookout for these criminals, and we will hit them in their own homes,” Jordan’s King Abdullah II vowed, according to the state news agency Petra. “We are fighting this war to protect our faith, values and our humanitarian principles. Our fight will be relentless.”

Waves of revulsion over the killing of Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh — who crashed over Syria in December — washed across the Middle East. In mosques, streets and coffee shops, Muslims denounced the militants’ brutality and distanced themselves from their violent version of Islam.

Even a prominent preacher with close links to jihadi groups said Islamic State militants miscalculated if they hoped the images of the pilot’s agony would galvanize greater opposition to a U.S.-led military coalition that has been bombing the group.

“After millions of Muslims were cursing every pilot [in the coalition], with this act, they [the Islamic State] have made the burned one into a symbol,” Abdullah al-Muhaysni, a Saudi sheik, tweeted.

— is unheard of in the contemporary Middle East.

In Saudi Arabia, prominent cleric Sheik Salman al-Oudah cited on Wednesday a saying attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, which reserves for God alone the right to punish by fire.

In Algeria, cleric El-Hadi Shalaby noted that the majority of the Islamic State’s victims have been Muslims: “What hurts me as a Muslim is that they do all this in the name of Islam. The Muslim faith is utterly foreign to these practices.”

In predominantly Muslim Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the killing an act of “savagery,” adding that “there is no such thing in our religion.”

Jordanian politician Mohammed al-Rousan wept openly on national television as he described watching al-Kaseasbeh’s death, saying even people accustomed to violence could not bear to see a man burned alive.

China tightens rules on Internet use, online comments

About Jordan Here are five things to know about this Mideast country. (TWP/AP) 1 The kingdom is a key Western ally. Following the pilot’s slaying, Jordan’s king reaffirmed his nation’s commitment to the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State.

2 Jordan borders two of the region’s biggest trouble spots, Iraq and Syria, including areas controlled by the Islamic State. It has absorbed millions of Syrian refugees.

3 Jordan in 1994 became the second Arab country, after Egypt, to make peace with Israel. Today they maintain a tight relationship.

4 Jordan plays a special role in Palestinian politics (its population is majority Palestinian). It is a strong supporter of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and often serves as a mediator.

5 The U.S. provides Jordan with $1 billion annually in economic and military assistance. On Wednesday, congressional support built for increased aid to the kingdom.

Then, his tears turned to rage.

“Let’s use the same methods as them!” he shouted. “Let’s kill their children! Let’s kill their women!”

Public outrage over the pilot’s death and calls for revenge could help Abdullah broaden support for the coalition, said Scott Stewart of Stratfor, a global intelligence and advisory firm in Texas.

“Sentiments [about the airstrikes] are going to start changing across the Middle East after people see the video, especially the Jordanian people,” he said.

But others have doubts.

“The killing’s impact on the coalition will not really be a gamechanger because the participation of countries depends on a variety of issues that are specific to each country,” said Elias Hanna, a retired Lebanese general.

“We won’t see Arab boots on the ground,” he predicted. “That’s for certain.” HAMZA HENDAWI AND

THREE POINTERS

Braden Holtby is tied for the league lead with six shutouts.

Caps sing Holtby’s praises Fehr: He’s been our best player every night and is one of the league’s top goalies CAPITALS On Tuesday night at Verizon Center, following his third straight scoreless regulation, Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby was asked: “Are you at the top of your game?”

“I hope I never reach the top of my game,” he said.

After blanking the Kings 4-0, one week after silencing the Penguins by the same score and becoming the first netminder since 2011 to shut out Pittsburgh twice in one season, Holtby has emerged as one of the NHL’s top goaltenders.

“Can’t say enough about Holts,” forward Eric Fehr said.

“He’s been our best player every night. It’s tough to get a puck by him. He’s one of the best goalies

in the league.”

Holtby has tied Marc-Andre Fleury for the league lead with six shutouts. He became the first NHL goaltender since Brian Elliott in April 2013, according to Elias Sports Bureau, to tear through three straight starts that, at most, included one goal allowed in overtime.

Holtby has already improved immensely under coach Barry Trotz and goaltending guru Mitch Korn. Earlier this season, a revamped blue line had Holtby adjusting to the decreased shot volume, struggling to stay engaged with fewer pucks flying his way.

But in shutting out Pittsburgh, Montreal and Los Angeles in regulation, Holtby faced only

KEEP OUT!

2.17

Goals-against average for the Capitals’ Braden Holtby, ranking fifth in the league this season. The 25-year-old is also fifth in save percentage (.925). (EXPRESS)

27, 28 and 27 shots, respectively.

“He made some timely saves, and that’s how you win sometimes,” Trotz said. “It’s not how many, it’s the timely saves.”

Holtby hasn’t faced more than 30 shots in regulation since beating Colorado on Jan. 12, and has

since, like the Capitals themselves, climbed out of their midJanuary rut of allowing four goals apiece to Nashville, Edmonton and Columbus.

“Our team’s playing very structured right now,” said Holtby, who will face Ottawa tonight. “I think that little losing streak was a big wake-up call for us. Now it’s a matter of keeping it going and still realizing we have a lot of improving to do.”

And now, after Holtby had hoped he would never live to see his best, came the follow-up question.

“Are you close to it?”

“I don’t know,” he replied.

“There’s things I still need to get better at.” ALEX PREWITT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Miller time not coming as often for the Wizards Wittman is going with Temple over veteran for defensive reasons WIZARDS There were several instances during the first half of the season when Wizards backup point guard Andre Miller, the oldest player to play in the NBA, schooled defenders with clever passes and a throwback post-up game.

The ability to run the second unit masked his defensive inefficiencies, but Miller, 38, has regressed over the past month, which led to Garrett Temple claiming his minutes and resulted in Miller not playing for the first time this season in the Wizards’

loss to the Hornets on Monday.

“Garrett brings us energy,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman said Tuesday. “I was not disappointed at all in our bench last night. I thought they gave us a good lift. ’Dre’s, I just thought also, he’s close to my age, isn’t he? And I just thought he needed a break.”

Miller entered Wednesday’s game averaging 1.9 points, 2.1 assists, 1.4 rebounds, and nearly a turnover in 10.7 minutes per game over the previous 14 contests. More importantly, Miller has encountered trouble defending quicker point guards.

The difference in the Wizards’ defensive performance between Miller and starter John Wall is stark; Washington allows 108.6

points per 100 possessions with Miller on the floor and 97.7 points when Wall is on the court, though the output is also the result of Wall playing more with the starters.

“He hasn’t missed a game, hasn’t missed a practice,” Wittman said of Miller. “It’s a time to maybe give him a little rest, too, and I just thought with where we’re at and seeing things slide from a defensive standpoint that it made sense to get Garrett in there, so I liked what I saw out of that group.”

Temple played a significant amount at point guard last Wednesday, when he orchestrated Washington’s near comeback against the Suns. JORGE CASTILLO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NCAA BASKETBALL

Syracuse self-imposes postseason ban Syracuse University announced Wednesday that it has instituted a self-imposed postseason ban for the current men’s basketball season as part of its case pending before the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

Casey Janssen spent the past three seasons as Toronto’s closer, racking up 81 saves and a sterling 2.94 ERA. He still loves closing. “There’s no inning like the ninth inning,” he said. But as a Blue Jay all of his career, the 33-year-old has yet to pitch in the postseason. So Janssen was intrigued when the Nationals reached out early in the offseason.

They offered a chance to pitch late in the game — albeit as a set-up man to Drew Storen and back-up closer — and an opportunity to pitch in October. “This wasn’t necessarily the best deal I had on the table,” Janssen said by telephone. “But at the end of the day, Washington brought the opportunity to pitch late in the game, to pitch meaningful games late in September and hopefully in the postseason.” JAMES WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

GOLF

Charlie Sifford, PGA’s first black golfer, dies Charlie Sifford, who broke the color barrier in golf by becoming the first black member of the PGA in 1961, died Tuesday night at age 92. Sifford won twice on the PGA Tour and was rewarded for his courage later in life as the first black person inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Sifford’s influence stretched from Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer to Tiger Woods, who often referred to Sifford as his “grandpa.” President Barack Obama expressed his condolences, saying Sifford faced “indignity and injustice even as he faced the competition.” (AP)

Do top prospects win titles in pros?

National Signing Day on Wednesday gave college football fans the chance to ogle four- and five-star recruits. Three of last season’s four playoff teams (Ohio State, Alabama and Florida State) have had a top 10 recruiting class every year since 2011.

So how many highly rated high school prospects competed for a championship in the pros last year? JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

0

NFL

Number of five-star recruits in the starting lineups of both Super Bowl teams, according to sbnation.com. And only eight starters for the Patriots and the Seahawks, including Marshawn Lynch and Rob Gronkowski, were four-star recruits coming out of high school. Many highly rated prospects make it to the NFL (the No. 1 recruit from 2011, Jadeveon Clowney, was the top pick last year), but the Super Bowl rosters show the value of finding lesser-known prospects out of college.

9

NBA

Number of former McDonald’s All-Americans who played for the Heat or the Spurs in last year’s NBA Finals, including LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Danny Green. The Spurs, who have a roster filled with international players, had only two of the nine. No sport translates better from high school to the pros than basketball. Of the 24 prospects at the 2010 McDonald’s All-American game, 15 have played in the NBA. And seven of the past eight No. 1 picks were McDonald’s All-Americans.

“They are surprisingly fragile,” says Julia Miller, one of the group’s founders. “We were so

scared the lenses would break, we carried them in our arms on the plane,” she says.

Projectors are essential to Manual Cinema’s medium, a hybrid of live acting and puppetry that results in something like a vintage silent film performed by shadows.

Even after the projectors arrived intact, Miller was worried that their performance of “Ada/ Ava,” the tale of a woman grieving for her twin sister, might not

country music band in the big city. There’s no dialogue, just four musicians performing the score and triggering sound effects. Four puppeteers man a trio of overhead projectors, manipulating 200-plus paper puppets to create cinematic sequences.

Sometimes the puppeteers themselves cast the shadows, performing beneath the screen, their silhouettes projected above.

For example, a “shot” of Lula watching the band play through a ventilation grate comes into focus as one puppeteer slowly lays the puppets onto the projector.

To create a “wipe” transition, another projector operator uncovers puppets with a piece of paper while the first projector is covered up. When Lula tumbles out of a duct, she seems to fall just where a third puppeteer is crouching. The puppeteer, now playing Lula, stands up and brushes herself off, and picks up the story from there.

Miller and her fellow puppeteers used to hide, but now they perform in plain view of the audience.

“With movies, people get lulled into a state of passive acceptance,” she says. “Live theater asks audiences to be more active.

It’s just more exciting to have all the moving parts in front of you.”

The production’s non-moving parts still keep Miller up at night.

“The projectors are always breaking,” she says. “We constantly scour the Internet for spare parts, but I worry about the day when we can’t find these things anymore.”

‘Leading Ladies of Hollywood’s Golden Age’ AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Fri. through April 16, prices and showtimes vary.

Looking back usually shows us how far we’ve come. Sometimes, though, it can show us how much we’ve lost, which may be the case with “Leading Ladies of Hollywood’s Golden Age,” a new series at the AFI Silver. Kicking off Friday with “After the Thin Man,” featuring Myrna Loy, left, as the fabulous drinking detective Nora Charles, the series represents a time when roles for women (well, white women) transcended genre, when a movie with a female lead wasn’t billed as a chick flick and nobody had to show her breasts for a part. Highlights include “The Philadelphia Story,” “Double Indemnity,” “Blonde Venus,” “The Women,” “All About Eve,” “Mildred Pierce,” “Sunset Boulevard,” … actually, maybe you should just go see them all.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6TH

WHITE FORD BRONCO

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 7TH WARNER BROS. SCOTT GARRISON

COMEDIAN NICK THUNE almost always walks onstage with a guitar in hand, live-scoring his absurd,

deadpan one-liners with finger-picked melodies. But that’s changing. “There will be some guitar,” Thune says of his new material, “but I think [when it’s done] there will be zero guitar.” He’ll have fewer one-liners, too. Instead, Thune is focusing on lengthier, more personal stories. This week, the 35-year-old got in an RV with comedians Ben Kronberg and Kate Berlant to embark on Very Tour!

Much Comedy!, a 1,700-mile, 13-city trek down the East Coast that’s being filmed for a documentary. On Tuesday, the RV stops outside of Sixth and I Historic Synagogue. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) What if nothing interesting happens?

We’ve got some planned things, some sketches we’re going to do. If anything I’ll just film Ben eating eggs — that’s one of the most interesting things I’ve seen.

Do you have anything planned for D.C.?

We’re going to do car washes after a couple of shows. A couple of venues we’ve already reached out to and they have a hose that we can hook up out front, so we’re going to have a bucket. Instead of doing a meet-and-greet table, people can have their cars washed by us, which is I think better than an autograph.

We were also thinking about selling water bottles — just buying regular water bottles and putting a new logo on them and calling them “Future Pee.” That will help pay for the documentary.

And the best merch is that I notarize legal documents after shows.

You are a one-stop shop for things people didn’t know they needed.

93.9 WKYS PRESENTS

SLIK RICK

Yeah, notarizing divorces or wills, anything like that. I’ll definitely be doing that at my D.C. show.

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 8

In “Jupiter Ascending,” out Friday, Mila Kunis discovers she is royalty and needs to save some planet where everyone is beautiful and conveniently speaks English. Perhaps she could learn from these films about folks who found themselves suddenly royal.

‘KING RALPH’: When the entire

British royal family is killed in a freak accident, John Goodman arrives to rule. His first decree is that everyone stop putting milk in tea because that is gross and weird.

‘THE PRINCESS DIARIES’: An

How has your style evolved since last year’s Netflix special, “Folk Hero”?

After my two albums, it kind of feels boring to me now. For the first time, I’m actually talking about myself onstage rather than hiding behind, I don’t know, whatever the bit was I was doing before. And there’s still these oneliner things that come through, which is really nice but it feels more natural now for me to be me and talk about myself, rather than this fake version of myself.

So if you liked “Folk Hero,” come to these shows for new stuff, not for more “Folk Hero.”

Yeah. Also, I’ll play it in my car afterwards and we can listen to it together. “Folk Hero”: a listening session with Nick Thune.

In the documentary, you could show the farm trip, and the jokes that come out of it.

And it lives on. Then there’s just the high jinks of a comedy tour.

We’re all really good friends.

Nick Thune

What made you want to document the tour?

Because there’s stuff that happens on tour. Generally, the tour is booked out for two- to 21/2 -hour drives to the next city [but] I’ll take the four-hour version of that drive to go through small areas that I’ve never seen before and have new experiences.

We drove by a farm in Iowa City [on a past tour] and the next thing I know, I’m eating at some family barbecue and talking about it onstage that night. And it works because people [in the audience] might know the family, the farm or the area. We wrote jokes on the fly about it and then the next night it doesn’t work anymore — the material dies.

W W W. T H E H O W A R D T H E AT R E . C O M

awkward teen (Anne Hathaway) discovers that she’s the princess of Genovia. She should chill: It’s easy to run a fake country.

‘ANASTASIA’: In Fox Animation’s first movie, the Russian princess lives happily ever after, because it’s easier to sell dolls of a royal who wasn’t slaughtered along with the rest of her family.

‘THE PRINCE AND ME’: The

surprise here isn’t on the prince; it’s on the woman (Julia Stiles) he’s been trying to date. Tip for men: LEAD with the fact you’re royalty.

‘LADY JANE’: When Henry VIII dies, leaving a Catholic as heir, all the Protestants in England freak out and declare that Jane Grey (Helena Bonham Carter) is queen of England. Henry’s daughter Mary has a problem with this, and she has the power to execute. Guess who wins?

Handmade in Spain Taking the word artisanal back from the likes of ice and overpriced cupcakes, “Cutting-Edge Spanish Crafts” celebrates the work of some of the most innovative artisans coming out of the land of 10 p.m. dinners. Showcasing 90 handmade items — including lamps, candles, purses, jewelry and glassware — the exhibition at the Former Residence of the Ambassadors of Spain draws attention to the resilience of craftsmanship in the face of the 2007-08 global financial crisis and its lasting effects. A recent boom in new craft enterprises in Spain is “more than a fad,” says Tachy Mora, the show’s curator. “I thought that their stories could be an inspiration to those thinking of setting up craft businesses of their own.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

An artisan in the most traditional sense of the word, Moerel designs, makes and markets a majority of her pieces herself.

Rano Singh, owner of Pansaari, leads a recent cooking class on traditional Indian food and cooking techniques.

Cook up some fun

New Happy Hour Menu

YOU COULD PREP A TRIED-AND-TRUE MEAL AND EAT IT at the dinner table over idle chitchat. Or, you

could get out of the house and partake in one of D.C.’s many cooking classes. The professional-led courses provide a more interactive and enlightening dining experience than flipping through the well-worn pages of your favorite cookbook. “Cooking is more fun when you’re in front of a chef,” Mike Isabella Concepts empire. (Think Greek Easter classics from George Pagonis of Kapnos Grill and ramen from Jonah Kim.) “You learn different options about technique and alternative ingredients, and you open your mind.” We’ve rounded up three of D.C.’s newest offerings to encourage you to shake things up at mealtime. Each of them welcomes novice chefs and will send you away with a full stomach. HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

Indian cooking at Pansaari

Puerto Rican cooking at G

One of the city’s best-kept secrets, Pansaari is an Indian restaurant serving light but nutrient-dense dishes. Formerly Club Chaos, the expansive space now contains a spice bazaar, a chai bar, a textiles marketplace and a giant open kitchen where cooking classes are taught to up to 20 guests. Led by owner Rano Singh, the three-hour, BYOB sessions touch on classic Indian dishes, which are enjoyed together at the end of class. “We all work in our little circles, our work circles, our significant other circles, our family circles,” Singh says. “I’m hoping to mix it up a little bit.”

Led by Jose Adorno, Graffiato’s chef de cuisine, the first in a series of culinary classes at G will focus on Puerto Rican dishes. Drawing on skills he learned from his mom while growing up, Adorno will teach guests how to master staples like arroz con pollo, habichuelas and quesitos while up to 20 guests look on and enjoy complimentary wine.

Though guests won’t have much interaction with the food while it’s being cooked, they will rotate through stations and help with the prep process. And Isabella promises there will be enough to go around once it’s prepared.

Love Potions at Bourbon Steak Pastry chef Tiffany MacIsaac of Buttercream Bakeshop leads the baking portion of this Valentine’s Day-themed class with demonstrations on ham, cheddar and scallion scones; sour cream biscuits; marshmallows and macaroons. Bourbon Steak’s lead bartender, Duane Sylvestre, takes the reins on the booze portion of class. He’ll be walking guests through libations that complement MacIsaac’s sweets, including hot tea pitchers, hot bourbon chocolate, peanut rum punch and brandy milk punch.

weekendpass Enter the Haus Much of Paperhaus’ vast back catalog of EPs is not online anymore — Tebeleff spring-cleaned his Bandcamp page not that long ago.

However, if you’re looking to start somewhere, here are three good songs, all accessible online. D.E. ‘CAIRO’: The opening track on the new self-titled LP is a jammy piece of krautrock with a driving, punk edge. It’s also probably the best summation of the band’s sound to date.

‘TWISTED TUMBLED’: Stretching beyond the seven-minute mark, this slow-burning, psychedelic number from 2013’s “Lo Hi Lo” EP is a sleepyeyed epic.

Home improvement Experimental rock act Paperhaus wants to redefine the D.C. sound MUSIC Alex Tebeleff is tired of hearing about punk and go-go.

“It’s time for D.C. to be known for something else,” he says, gesturing toward an overhead speaker as the sound of a go-go beat fills Shaw’s Blind Dog Cafe.

The primary songwriter of local experimental rock band Paperhaus, Tebeleff has been trying to help usher in a new musical era in D.C. — one that respects its storied past but is also enthusiastic about the art of the present.

“The scene is the strongest it’s been in many, many years,” the

Rockville native says. “I think right now it’s primed. All it takes is one band to break out.”

If Paperhaus — whose current lineup also includes Tebeleff’s longtime collaborator Eduardo Rivera on guitar, The Effects’ Matt Dowling on bass and Danny Bentley on drums — is going to, in fact, be that band, then it all starts this month.

On Saturday, Paperhaus will headline the 9:30 Club to celebrate the release of its self-titled debut LP, which comes out three days later (and is streaming for free this week via NPR). Then the band will embark on a national tour through late March.

Recorded in the summer of 2013, “Paperhaus” feels like a melting pot for all of Tebeleff’s songwriting influences, from

Brian Eno to Howlin’ Wolf. These sources of inspiration were individually explored on prior releases; 2013’s “Lo Hi Lo” was lush and dreamy while 2011’s self-titled EP was an experiment in alt-country. However, never

“Ethically and creatively, I want to take from punk and go-go.

But it’s time for something new.”

ALEX TEBELEFF, of Paperhaus, on how D.C.’s current crop of local musicians moves beyond the city’s signature sounds

before has the band managed to distill all of these diverse urges down to eight concise songs.

The band is self-releasing the new album, and that’s just one example of Tebeleff’s DIY ethos.

Paperhaus is also the name of his Petworth home, where he and his roommates regularly host house shows in their living room, and last summer Tebeleff partnered with some of the city’s other DIY spaces to organize a South by Southwest-like weekend of live music called In It Together Fest.

“We’re just trying to foster more collaborations with other cities, doing outreach stuff to help D.C. bands get more connected to play and build followings,” says Tebeleff, whose organization D.C. DIT (which stands for Do It Together) is affiliated with most of

Paperhaus’ current lineup is, from left, Matt Dowling, Eduardo Rivera, Alex Tebeleff and Danny Bentley.

‘SCARLET RAIN’: This track dates back to the group’s 2011 self-titled EP, when the band was toying with an alt-country sound. “Scarlet Rain” sounds like “A.M.”-era Wilco, but if Jeff Tweedy were trying to emulate The Beatles instead of Big Star.

the city’s local venues and shows.

“We’re not just doing shows at the Paperhaus, we’re doing shows at The Pinch, at Union Kitchen, at The Dunes.”

Stephanie Williams, the managing editor for D.C. Music Download who organized the 9:30 show, sees Paperhaus as more than just a band.

“They’ve sparked an important movement in the city,” she says, “which is for more people to recognize and appreciate the underground music scene here — a feat that very few groups and even individuals have accomplished.”

Tebeleff is confident that the current crop of local artists, Paperhaus included, is strong enough to get people to look beyond D.C.’s signature genres — if they’d only listen.

“Ethically and creatively, I want to take from punk and go-go,” Tebeleff says. “But it’s time for something new. It may not be as easy to classify, but it’s certainly something special.”

AMY JUNE BREESMAN

JOEY DOUBEK, on how writing music for Pinkwash helped him move on after his mother died of breast cancer in 2009

Former D.C.-based duo Ingrid — Ashley Arnwine, left, and Joey Doubek — are back together as Philadelphia-based noise rock duo Pinkwash.

(WHO THE HECK IS…?)

Pinkwash Joey Doubek and Ashley Arnwine have been playing music together on and off for a decade — first as members of the D.C.based punk duo Ingrid, and more recently as the Philadelphiabased punk duo Pinkwash. They’ll be returning to their roots (both grew up in the D.C. area) on Thursday to play a show at the Black Cat. Things should sound familiar to local Ingrid fans.

“Pinkwash is sort of Ingrid 2.0,” Arnwine says. “We’re a little more proggy and a little more political.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) DIY days The band’s name is borrowed from a term coined by political activists to describe businesses that slap pink breast cancer awareness ribbons on their products, often to distract from their cancer-causing activities, like polluting the environment.

“I hate the cancer-industrial complex,” Doubek says. He has good reason: Back in 2008, when Ingrid was still playing D.C. house

his musical collaboration with Arnwine. (Ingird never formally broke up, Arnwine just relocated to Philadelphia and Doubek eventually followed.)

The new band’s first release, 2014’s EP “Your Cure Your Soil” is largely about “the 14 months I spent as my mother’s caretaker,” Doubek says.

Arnwine’s off-kilter drummi ng, remi n isc ent of the arrhythmic sounds of hospital equipment, undergird Doubek’s howls of anguish and anger.

Lyrics are hard to decipher from the noise, but when they do come through, they are full of gallows humor — like when Doubek sings, “I want to die in the cosmos/ With Eno in my headphones,” in “Ideal Death.”

“Over time,” Doubek says, “my feelings went from sadness to anger to laughing at the absurdity of it all.”

Moving forward

Let the processing begin

Pinkwash’s next release, “Cancer Money,” is a 7-inch record containing two songs that continue plumbing the horrors of cancer.

“I actually sampled my mom’s breathing machine when she was in hospice and used it on the album,” Doubek says. It might seem depressing, to keep singing about such a sad moment in his life, “but it’s actually been therapeutic,” he says. That’s why, In the future, he’d like to become a music therapist — though perhaps not the kind that plays soothing harp music. “Maybe I’ll be a punk music therapist,” he says.

After a stint with the D.C. band Hume, Doubek moved to Philadelphia in 2013 to rekindle

shows, Doubek was taking care of his mother, who died of breast cancer in 2009. At the time, Doubeck wrote more about politics than his experiences with his mom. “I didn’t process my emotions through music until years later, until Pinkwash” he says.

As an added bonus, there will also be daily DIY workshops on dipping and topping pretzels.

Lydia Loveless Lydia Loveless was born in 1990, but she makes music that sounds like it came from the 1970s.

Sam Smith tops 2015 Grammys guesses Will Beyonce reign as queen, or will the pop diva be dethroned by newcomer Sam Smith? The Associated Press makes educated guesses at who will dominate the Grammy Awards, when Smith, Beyonce and Pharrell Williams are the top contenders with six nominations apiece. The awards will air live at 8 p.m. Sunday on CBS: Here’s how we see it going. MESFIN FEKADU AND NEKESA MUMBI MOODY (AP)

Rap song

MOODY: I’m guessing

MOODY: Kanye West’s rants against the Grammys probably won’t help him here.

But Kendrick Lamar’s “i” is an uplifting song, and Grammy voters probably remember how he got robbed last year when Macklemore inexplicably won over him. They’ll make it up to him this year.

Grammy voters are iTunes users and perhaps didn’t appreciate that free U2 gift of music either. But I also think they love all things Beck, and for his album “Morning Phase,” Beck gets his trophy here.

FEKADU: I want to think Beck will win because he’s nominated for album of the year, but I think the Grammys will reward Tom Petty for a great year, which included a No. 1 pop album, “Hypnotic Eye.”

DAN HALLMAN (INVISION/AP)

Rock album

Album of the year FEKADU: We all thought “Beyonce” was a shoo-in for this award because of its epic release and because Adele didn’t drop an album. But then enters soulful British crooner Sam Smith, singing his weepy love songs, releasing back-to-back radio hits and going platinum.

Record of the year MOODY: “Fancy” (Iggy Azalea) and “All About That

Bass” seem to be an obligatory nod to the kids. Sia’s “Chandelier” didn’t resonate with enough people and Swift’s “Shake It Off” is too catchy. Smith’s smoldering performance (“Stay With Me”) is too hot not to reward.

R&B performance MOODY: Even with

the cringe-worthy Anna Mae reference in “Drunk in Love,” music’s favorite couple, Jay Z and Beyonce, wins this.

Time-saving guides to the monuments, museums and more

Song of the year (songwriting) FEKADU: Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” and Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” are too playful, and Hozier’s “Take Me To Church” may be too new, leaving Sia (“Chandelier”) and Smith (“Stay With Me”). Good thing Sia’s not into showing her face lately: Smith will take this.

Pop solo performance MOODY: I think that the academy will feel like they gave Williams’ “Happy” all the love it needed last year. This year’s darling, Smith, has this on lock.

Best new artist MOODY: I mean, is this even a competition? Smith.

By

Country album FEKADU: Women have it tough in country, so it’s great to see the Recording Academy reward three female voices, Brandy Clark, Miranda Lambert and Lee Ann Womack, here.

Lambert has dominated all of the country awards shows and she will do the same on Sunday, winning for “Platinum.”

TELEVISION REVIEW The two-night, two-episode premiere of “Better Call Saul” (10 p.m. Sunday and Monday on AMC), the new series from “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan, is right in line with the tone and style of the original, now-classic series. And like its predecessor, “Better Call Saul” raises more questions in two hours than it will readily answer.

In this prequel, set six years prior to “Breaking Bad,” we meet James “Jimmy” Morgan McGill (Bob Odenkirk), an under-employed Albuquerque, N.M., lawyer taking cases as a public defender at the courthouse, where, at the end of each day, he is hassled by — can it be? — Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a parking attendant who won’t accept Jimmy’s incorrectly validated ticket.

As a sad sack, Jimmy is not yet the criminally connected

sleazeball who will (somehow) become the legendary Saul Goodman, but the elements are all present. His older brother, Chuck (Michael McKean), a partner at a big law firm, had to quit working because of a mental illness that has left him with a severe technophobia; it’s up to Jimmy to try to recover the millions he feels the law firm owes his brother.

It isn’t too long before Jimmy/ Saul is bound, gagged and thrown to the desert ground under a big, blue sky — and “Breaking Bad” fans are home. The instant the duct tape is ripped off his mouth by his captors, a certain Saul-ness kicks in and Odenkirk’s talent is on full display as Jimmy delivers a pleading, philosophical monologue on — among other things — the awful nature of revenge. It’s a beautiful, even melodious act of BS-ing.

HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

verbatim “I can bring themes and ideas I’ve been engaged with, and do it in such a way that those ideas are pulled into the mainstream.”

JAMES FRANCO, telling Vulture that he frequently plays gay roles, like in his new movie “I Am Michael,” to start discussions about “gay themes, gay rights [and] gay politics”

A federal judge has ruled against a Wal-Mart driver involved in a crash that killed a comic and severely injured Tracy Morgan and several others. Driver Kevin Roper had filed a motion to delay Morgan’s lawsuit against Wal-Mart stemming from the June 7 crash in New Jersey. Roper faces several criminal charges in state court, including death by auto. He’s not a defendant in Morgan’s federal lawsuit but wanted to delay it from moving forward until his criminal case could be resolved, saying his right to a fair trial would be hampered. On Tuesday, a judge allowed the lawsuit to proceed. (AP)

Iggy Azalea and Sam Smith led the finalists for the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards with five nominations apiece, with Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande each receiving four nominations. All four artists, along with Luke Bryan are nominated for artist of the year.

Best new artist nominees include Azalea, Smith, Bastille, Cole Swindell and Meghan Trainor. Other categories include song of the year, where Smith’s “Stay With Me” is nominated, and best collaboration, where Azalea has two entries: “Problem” and “Fancy.” Fans can also vote for three categories: best lyrics, best fan army and the new Renegade Award, for a new artist who “takes risks while still staying true to themselves,” organizers said. The awards air live on March 29 on NBC and on iHeartMedia stations. (AP)

“So obviously the thing to do was … send a super racist tweet making fun of the Chinese accent.”

AMANDA TAUB AT VOX.COM tries to make sense of Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s diplomatic strategy. She posted Wednesday asking if others at a summit she’s attending to improve trade relations in China this week “have come just for the lice and petloleum?”

Kirchner later apologized for replacing the letter R in both words with L.

“Is it the worst thing in the world for a kid to feel a little ashamed of his or her bad behavior? Or is this type of shaming way too extreme?”

KRISTYN FILIP AT THEGLOSS.COM wonders about the unique parenting option offered by Atlanta barbershop A-1 Kutz. The Post reported Wednesday about Kutz’s free “Benjamin Button Special,” which involves shaving a boy’s hair until he begins to resemble a balding senior citizen. Co-owner Russell Fredrick decided to offer the style after it succeeded in motivating his 12-year-old son, Rushawn, to do better at school.

“These are abs of democracy. Channing [Tatum] is telling you: I’m just like you. I’m an everyman/everystripper.

I put my tearaway jeans on one leg at a time.”

BIM ADEWUNMI AT BUZZFEED. COM offers one of many interpretations of the new poster for “Magic Mike XXL,” due in theaters July 1. The movie is a sequel to 2012’s life-of-a-stripper feature, “Magic Mike.”

“Oh Dear. Coke got punked.” @CHIMOOSE reacts to Gawker reporter Max Read’s social media experiment. Read exploited Coca-Cola ’s #MakeItHappy campaign, which asks users to reply to negative tweets using that hashtag. Coca-Cola then digitally converts the characters of the text of the depressing tweet into a happy image, like this cat. Read had a bot created to auto-tweet all of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” in 140-character bursts and then replied to each excerpt with #MakeItHappy. @cocacola responded automatically, generating images like the one above, which is of this “Kampf” passage: “The plough is then the sword; and the tears of war will produce the daily bread for the generations to come.” Most of images have since been deleted from Coca-Cola’s Twitter account.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If there’s something you really want, you’d better go after it, because you’re not the only one. Yes, a race has begun!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can enjoy some social time with those who are usually “under” you in some way, either professionally or personally.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may be running out of time, so today is the day to tell that certain someone what you expect — and what you’re willing to give in return.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Now is the time for you to give another everything that you think he or she needs. Trust your instincts, and know you’re on the right track.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may think that what someone has to offer is entirely inappropriate, but in fact, that person has his or her finger on the pulse of the group.

which seems a certain way will likely prove to be entirely different, but you can work with it no matter how it comes out in the end.

TODAY: A 30 percent chance of rain or snow showers continues into the morning. A dusting, especially in the north and west suburbs, can’t be ruled out, but there should be minimal impact.

Winds, on the other hand, will be quite blustery throughout the day, blowing from the northwest at 15-25 mph with gusts near 35 mph.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’ll enjoy sharing what you have with those who you know will appreciate both your efforts and the original idea.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may find yourself thinking about a better time, but you’re on the verge of something that could be just as good.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may be further away from a cherished goal than you have been in the past, but you mustn’t lose heart; it is still in sight.

ROLES

And Katy is a cartoon cat character

He also knows magic, will do birthdays Nick Jonas made a surprise appearance at 13-yearold Jillian Gaslow’s bat mitzvah last weekend, TMZ reported. Gaslow’s father, whom TMZ calls “a furniture industry big wig,” paid Jonas $100,000 to perform for 30 minutes at the party, held in New York.

Jonas sang three songs for the crowd of preteens, including his hit, “Jealous.”

At one point, a young girl rushed the stage to give Jonas a hug. (EXPRESS)

In the March issue of Elle, Katy Perry addressed her alleged feud with Taylor Swift. The rumors started last summer, when Swift told Rolling Stone that her song “Bad Blood” was about a fellow pop singer and rival. Many fans suspected the singer in question was Perry. She told Elle, “You’ve got to name someone the villain, someone the princess, someone the mom-, the dad-type — you know, there always have to be characters. As pop figures, we’re all characters. And the media uses that. Who is the sweetheart, who is the villain? You know. Taylor’s the sweetheart. Kanye’s the villain. That’s the narrative.” (EXPRESS)

LEGAL BATTLES

Renner’s ex files for primary custody of child

Jay Z and Beyonce are moving to Los Angeles at the suggestion of their friend Gwyneth Paltrow, Us Weekly reported. “Gwyneth was telling Jay and Bey about the quality of life for her kids in L.A.,” a source said.

“It’s all for [the couple’s daughter] Blue Ivy.” The 3-year-old has been enrolled in a private school with a yearly tuition of $15,000. (EXPRESS)

Jeremy Renner’s estranged wife, Sonni Pacheco, has filed for primary custody of the couple’s 22-month-old daughter, claiming his gun collection and his unfenced pool and koi pond make his home unsafe. Us Weekly reported that Pacheco is also seeking child support from Renner. Pacheco filed for divorce in December, after the couple had a secret wedding just 10 months earlier. (EXPRESS)
