CVS Plans to Kick Smoking Habit Drugstore chain will stop selling tobacco products nationwide CVS, the nation’s second-largest drugstore chain, said Wednesday that it will phase out cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco by Oct. 1 in a move that it says will help grow its business, which works with doctors, hospitals and others to improve customers’ health.

The move is the latest evidence of a big push in the drugstore industry that has been taking place over several years. Major drugstore chains have been adding in-store clinics and expanding their health-care offerings.

In Search of the Uninsured Half without health insurance in U.S. live in just 116 counties Washington Those without health insurance have less than two months to enroll in new plans before penalties kick in, and the Obama administration is racing the clock to get them signed up.

A new study conducted for The Associated Press shows that the administration is best off focusing on a relatively narrow geographic area: Half of those under 65 without insurance live in just 116 of the

nation’s 3,143 counties. And half of all 19-39-year-olds without insurance — the most coveted demographic as health-care providers look to expand their risk pools — live in 108 counties.

Thirteen heavily urban counties are home to 20 percent of the country’s uninsured, according to the study, conducted by the State Health Access Data Assistance Center at the University of Minnesota.

More than 2 million people without insurance — 5 percent of the national total — live in Los Angeles County, the biggest pool of potential sign-ups.

Federal officials are focusing on 25 metro areas, the AP said,

including Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, northern New Jersey, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland and Indianapolis. The feds are less concerned with such cities as Los Angeles and New York, where states are running their own health-care exchanges.

The University of Minnesota Center’s data shows that the lowest number of uninsured Americans live in the Midwest and the Northeast, where many states have expanded Medicaid to cover additional low-income residents under the Affordable Care Act. About 14.9 percent of Americans lack health insurance, according to the center’s estimates.

Panel Blasts Vatican’s Record Kirov Branch Press Service/ap

The explosion of railway cars in Russia prompted evacuations, officials said.

U.N. slams handling of sex-abuse scandal, out-of-step doctrine Berlin A United Nations committee on Wednesday issued a scathing indictment of the Catholic Church’s handling of child sexual abuse involving clerics, releasing a report that went far beyond how the church responded to abuse allegations and included criticism of its teachings on homosexuality, gender equality and abortion.

“The Committee is concerned that the Holy See and Church-run institutions do not recognize the existence of diverse forms of families and often discriminate against children on the basis of their family situation,” the report by the U.N. Committee on the Rights of

U.N. Recommendations Here are some of the 67 recommendations the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child’s made in its report on the Vatican on Wednesday.

The Vatican should bring its Canon Law in line with the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, “in particular those (laws) relating to children’s rights to be protected … all forms of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse.”

The panel urged the Vatican to stop the transfer of abusers and suspected abusers, a practice it said had been documented on numerous occasions and which amounted to covering up the crimes.

It called on the Vatican to “immediately remove all known and suspected child sexual abusers from assignment” and refer them to law enforcement. (aP)

the Child said.

Addressing the long-running clergy sexual abuse scandal, the authors wrote: “Child victims and their families have often been blamed by religious authorities, discredited and discouraged from pursuing their complaints and in some instances humiliated.”

The committee also condemned church doctrine that it views as out

of step with the principles of human rights and child welfare. The committee took aim at church stances on sexual orientation, reproductive health and gender equality.

The scope of the report appeared to infuriate the Vatican. Officials responded angrily to what they described as recommendations that were ideologically biased.

Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokes-

woman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said “anyone bringing attention to the problem [of sex abuse] is moving toward solving it.” But she strongly criticized the U.N. report for weaving issues like contraception and abortion into the report.

“Unfortunately they weakened it by throwing in the whole kitchen sink,” she said Wednesday. “Those are culture war issues. Sex abuse isn’t a culture war issue — it’s a sin and a crime.”

U.N. officials dismissed the allegations of bias.

“Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is something that we have raised with many states,” Kirsten Sandberg, chairwoman of the committee, said in a statement.

“This is nothing special. We are not going outside the scope of the Convention.” Anthony Faiola and Michelle Boorstein (the washington post )

Children in Syria have been tortured, sexually abused and subjected to “indiscriminate” attacks

by President Bashar Assad’s forces, and recruited for combat and terror operations by the rebels fighting to topple him during the country’s nearly 3-year-old conflict, a new United Nations report said.

The report to the U.N. Security Council by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon highlights the plight of children in the conflict from the beginning of the uprising in March 2011 until Nov. 15, 2013.

According to the report, Syrian forces have been responsible for the arrest, arbitrary detention

and torture of children in detention facilities. Children in government custody have reportedly suffered beatings with metal cables, whips and wooden and metal batons, electric shock and sexual violence, the report said.

Ban’s report said armed opposition groups also engaged in “the summary execution of children.”

In one notorious case reported by activists and residents in Aleppo last year, militants from a then-al-Qaeda-linked group shot to death a 15-year-old coffee vendor in front of his parents, accusing him of being an “infidel” for allegedly mentioning Islam’s Prophet Muhammad in vain.

Air-particle levels in New Delhi are at times up to four times the city’s own limits.

New Delhi Smog: As Bad as Beijing?

Pollution problems in India capital draw dubious comparison New Delhi Think twice before taking a deep breath in New Delhi, where worsening air pollution has drawn comparisons with Beijing, the world’s pollution poster child.

On bad days in India’s congested capital, the air is so murky it slows traffic to a crawl. Conversations are punctuated with rasping coughs. Weak bands of sunlight filter through a grainy sky.

Air-monitoring sensors around the Indian capital have routinely registered levels of small airborne particles at “hazardous” levels in recent months — three to four times New Delhi’s own sanctioned limit, rivaling Beijing.

While it’s uncertain which city has worse smog, one thing is clear: China’s capital is taking steps to improve air quality but New Delhi hasn’t done much in recent years to

3.2M The number of people killed globally by pollution-related diseases — twothirds of which are in Asia, according to a 2012 multi-institutional report

tackle the problem, largely because there’s been little public outcry.

The Chinese capital is way ahead of its Indian counterpart in terms of informing citizens about the dangers of pollution. Beijing has launched a health alert system that advises caution on smoggy days, and during high-alert times, schools may be closed. New Delhi has no such alert system or protocols.

“It seems incredible that the politicians and judges living in Delhi would not be worried about how their families and children are suffering from the bad air,” said Dr. K. Srinath Reddy, head of the Public Health Foundation of India. “People have to recognize the extent of the damage happening. … That’s when the action will happen.” K AT Y DAIGLE (AP)

Fare-Hike Frustrations MetroAccess riders fear ramifications of possible rate increases Washington Riders who use the MetroAccess paratransit service are worried about the impact that impending rail and bus fare increases will have on their own costs.

MetroAccess users are either unable to travel or can’t easily travel on the regular bus or rail service.

Specialized vehicles get them from their homes to destinations including doctors’ appointments, shopping or work.

Last Hearing The final public fare hearing will take place tonight at Metro headquarters (600 Fifth St. NW). An informal information session will begin at 6 p.m. followed by the formal hearing at 6:30 p.m. (T WP)

Calculating rail fares can be complicated, but train riders don’t have to deal with this MetroAccess formula: “Customers may take trips that begin and end less than threequarters of a mile from the nearest bus stop or Metrorail station and will be charged two times the fastest fixed-route equivalent fare, paying no more than $7 per one-way trip.”

The transit authority hasn’t proposed any changes in the formula that sets its rates. But in hearings over the past week, many MetroAccess riders have said they would prefer the formula did change. And what’s clear to the MetroAccess riders is that if the fare goes up for bus and rail riders, it will have a bigger effect on their costs.

Before the hearings began, most public attention was focused on the proposed increases in bus and rail fares. But it’s the MetroAccess customers, rather than the bus and rail riders, who have been making the strongest case for attention at the hearings so far.

Md. Moves to Ban Grain Alcohol 10,000 Annapolis

The sale of grain alcohol — the highly concentrated form of booze that has long been used to spike watermelons and, critics say, encourage binge drinking on college campuses — would be prohibited in Maryland under a measure that passed the state’s Senate by a wide margin on Wednesday.

The bill, sponsored by state Sen. Richard Madaleno, would ban the sale of any alcoholic product above 190 proof, or a content of about 95 percent pure ethyl alcohol. Violators would be subject to a misdemeanor on conviction and a fine of up to $1,000.

Madaleno and other backers

The approximate number of cases of grain alcohol sold in Maryland last year, state Sen. Edward Reilly said.

said the prohibition on grain alcohol is an important priority for college administrators eager to curb the sort of heavy drinking that causes more than 1,800 alcoholrelated deaths of college students in the United States each year. It would also bring Maryland in line with bans in surrounding states, including Virginia, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, he said.

“Because it takes such a small amount, and it’s so cheap, it’s seen

Your Best Shot | Submitted by John Sonderman of Washington

as one of the big contributors to alcohol poisoning,” Madaleno said.

“That’s why the universities have said please get this off the market.”

The proposed legislation is aimed at grain alcohol, which is marketed under leading brands such as Everclear and Gem Clear and has no distinctive taste or smell.

It costs about $15 for a 750 milliliter bottle, or about a dollar a shot.

But skeptics suggested the bill was a feel-good measure that would only add a new layer of regulation in a highly regulated state without a real impact on college drinking. A student who is unable to buy grain alcohol will simply buy more of something else, they say.

Storm’s Selective Slipperiness Washington was graced Wednesday with another winter storm that looked best through a window.

A glaze of ice made magnificent, shimmering art of the trees it encased, but wreaked havoc with the commute in some places.

How bad it was depended on where you woke up. The weather fault line that bedevils the D.C. region, and makes forecasters gray before their time, was at play.

Defining it, even in retrospect, invites condemnation because it squiggles more than any respectable line should. But once again, the ice seemed more dramatic to the west of Interstate 95 than to the east.

KATHERINE FREY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Washington

Nelson Stream, of the Frederick Department of Public Works in Maryland, assesses a downed power line covered in ice Wednesday in Frederick.

There were cars spinning out all over, and people were bouncing on their buttocks everywhere, but the ice was most intense in the quadrant north and west of the District.

“This isn’t anything unusual,” said Jason Samenow, chief meteorologist for The Washington Post’s

Capital Weather Gang. “These areas average more snow and ice.”

Decades of weather data prove that point. Reagan National Airport records an annual snow fall average of 15 inches, while more than 25 miles west of the District, Dulles International averages 22.

The average annual snowfall is 16 inches in Prince George’s County, Md., 21 inches in Fairfax and 22 inches in Loudoun, Va. The areas of Montgomery, Md., closer to the District average 17 inches while the county’s northern parts average 26.

“The reason has to do with increasing elevation and distance away from the urban heat island,” Samenow said.

The ice thickness varied Wednesday — from roughly one-tenth of an inch in the District to about twice that in portions of Northern Virginia and Montgomery County.

In D.C., Ronald Byrd found little to slip on as he waited for a bus in Logan Circle. “It’s a typical rainy morning,” Byrd, 52, said, motioning to the uneventful street, helping demonstrate that Washington is no more a weather region than it is a political one. ASHLEY HALSEY III AND

Cover Story Jay Leno, By the Numbers

AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University cataloged nearly 44,000 jokes Jay Leno made about political figures and celebrities at “The Tonight Show” from 1992 through Jan. 24.

Politicians were not only fodder for Jay Leno’s jokes, they were also guests — George W. Bush was in the “Tonight Show” hot seat in 2000, and Hillary Rodham Clinton guffawed along in 2003.

Joke’s on Them

After two decades on “The Tonight Show” (we’ll ignore those awkward

missing months in 2009-2010), Jay Leno offers up his last laugh tonight. Over the years, he’s directed a slew of jokes at D.C.’s top politicians, often with similar themes (Clinton’s a sex addict! Bush is dumb! Hillary’s a nag!). With help from Robert Lichter, director of George Mason’s Center for Media and Public Affairs and author of the upcoming book “Politics Is a Joke: How TV Comedians are Remaking Political Life,” we take a look at cultural punch lines from the past 22 years. DIANA D’ABRUZZO (E XPRESS)

1992 “[George H.W.] Bush is ac-

cused of manufacturing the crisis with Iraq. If this is true, it’s the first manufacturing job he’s brought to America in years.”

1993 “I think [Ross Perot] has lost

some clout after the NAFTA debate.

You know, they made him sit at the little card table.”

nence to young people. Well, those who cannot do, teach.”

1998 “Monica Lewinsky has given

her dress to Ken Starr because she claims it contains DNA evidence of a sexual encounter with President Clinton. In fact, I believe this is the very first time Ken Starr has ever gotten a dress off a woman.”

tacked Santa Claus as just another liberal with a giveaway program.”

1999 “In her Senate campaign, Hillary may drop the ‘Clinton’ and run under her maiden name, ‘Vader.’ ”

1995 “Feuding O.J. Simpson attor-

2000 “You know the difference

1994 “Today Newt Gingrich at-

neys F. Lee Bailey and Robert Shapiro finally buried the hatchet. In fact, they buried it right next to the knife.”

1996 “When Russian President Boris Yeltsin disappears from sight, people assume he’s on his deathbed. When our president disappears from sight, we assume he’s in someone else’s bed.”

1997 “President [Bill] Clinton has a new program to teach sexual absti-

between Dick Cheney and Bill Clinton?

Cheney grabs his own chest.”

2001 “Today, President [George W.] Bush ordered an investigation into whether it is appropriate to have civilians with no experience running a Navy sub. Hey, how about an investigation into whether it’s appropriate to have a civilian with no experience running a country.”

2002 “Saddam Hussein turned in

his big report on weapons. It’s 12,000 pages long. … That shows you how clever that Saddam Hussein character is. By the time Bush finishes reading this thing, he’ll be out of office.”

2003 “The producers of ‘Joe Mil-

lionaire’ say the show’s message is that you don’t need $50 million to be happy. That’s right — all you need is 20 beautiful women who think you have $50 million.”

2004 “A woman was caught trying

to pass a counterfeit $200 bill that had a picture of George Bush on it. Turns out there’s also a John Kerry bill. Pretty realistic. He’s on both sides.”

2005 “Historians this week named Warren G. Harding the dumbest president of all time. I understand President Bush is demanding a recount.”

2006 “Last weekend you could have seen Pakistan’s President [Pervez] Musharraf on ‘Meet the Press,’ Senator Joe Biden on ‘Face the Nation’ and Con-

gressman Mark Foley [of the page scandal] on “Dateline: To Catch a Predator.”

2007 “[Mitt] Romney criticized

[Rudy] Giuliani so much, [Giuliani] made him an honorary ex-wife.”

2008 “Everyone is so concerned

now where all of the candidates are born.

[John] McCain was born on a military base in Panama. Hillary was born outside Chicago, and if you believe the media, Barack Obama was born in a manger.”

2009 “Former President George

W. Bush said he was proud that when he was in office he didn’t sell his soul, which is true. He rented it to Dick Cheney, who then sublet it to Halliburton, but it’s totally different.’’

2010 “It’s freezing all across the United States. In fact, in D.C., the weather is so bad, they actually hired convicted criminals to shovel snow at the U.S. Capitol. Isn’t that amazing? It’s nice to see members of Congress doing something useful for a change.’’

2011 “President Obama’s approval

ratings are so low now, Kenyans are accusing him of being born in the United States.”

2012 “Mitt Romney is so rich, he taught his dog to roll over … an IRA.” 2013 “The pope is resigning. I just hope it’s not steroids.”

2014 “They say the threat of terrorism at the Sochi Winter Games is very high right now and it’s pretty scary. In fact, it’s so dangerous over there right now that today NBC asked me to go as a correspondent.”

White Nixes Slopestyle Olympics

1. Miami Speedskater There’s hotbeds of speedskating in the U.S., and apparently, Miami is one of them. Jennifer Rodriguez represented Miami in the Olympic speedskating competition several times, and now Eddy Alvarez is adding his name to the list of South Floridians heading to the Winter Games. Alvarez learned to skate on rollerblades along South Beach.

Shaun White trains during snowboard slopestyle practice Tuesday in Sochi, Russia.

“It’s a little intense, a little challenging.

The jumps are still a little weird.

I’m having a questionable time getting used to them.”

— AMERICAN SNOW BOARDER JA MIE ANDERSON, A GOLD-MEDAL FAVORITE ON THE

WOMEN’S SIDE, ON THE OLY MPIC SLOPE S T Y LE COURSE

White isn’t leaving, but his departure from an event that was essentially introduced at the Olympics this year to take advantage of his star power certainly can’t make the folks at the IOC or NBC too happy.

“He’s a notable person and he probably would have brought more viewers to slopestyle,” said Nick Goepper, an American who competes

in the skiing version of the event.

IOC spokesman Mark Adams downplayed the idea that the course is too dangerous.

“I don’t think that’s an issue,” he said. “A lot of the athletes have said they’re very happy, they like the venue.”

Slopestyle qualifying starts today (8 p.m. on NBC), the day

Ashley Wagner sees a certain resemblance between the multihued designs all around the Sochi Olympics and a rainbow gay pride flag. The American figure skater has been one of the most outspoken athletes against Russia’s socalled “gay propaganda” law, and she couldn’t help but mention to reporters Wednesday her amusement at the brightly colored graphics at Olympic venues. “I love it,” she said with a smile.

before the opening ceremony.

Snowboarding’s newest and most-hyped Olympic event is a judged sport — a speed-packed trip down the mountain, filled with rails, bumps and, most notably, steeply angled jumps that allow riders to flip two, sometimes three times, before landing. White hurt his wrist on one of the takeoff ramps, which were built “kind of obnoxiously tall,” according to one top rider, Canadian Mark McMorris.

White, who had already hurt his shoulder and ankle in the lead-up to the Olympics, deemed his latest injury — the jammed wrist — as nothing serious and said reports about it were overblown. But he said there remained serious issues with the slopestyle course.

Out of slopestyle, White will now focus solely on next Tuesday’s contest in the halfpipe. EDDIE PELLS (AP)

King Won’t Be in Sochi: Billie Jean King will not attend Friday’s opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics in Russia because her mother is ill. King, who was selected to lead the U.S. delegation to the Games, has been outspoken in her opposition to Russia’s anti-gay law. She also planned to attend ice hockey and figure skating events and meet U.S. athletes during her three-day visit to the games. The White House announced that former U.S. hockey player Caitlin Cahow, originally scheduled for the closing ceremony, will take King’s place. (AP)

2. Spanish Figure Skater Javier Fernandez is a popular pick to medal in figure skating in Sochi.

Spain has only two medals from the Winter Games, both in alpine skiing, a gold in 1972 and a bronze in 1992.

MEXICO OLYMPIC COMMITTEE (AP)

Shaun White jammed his wrist on one jump and watched the world’s best snowboarders join him in tumbling down the supersized, superscary Olympic slopestyle course.

Quickly, his choice became clear: Time to step away from the danger, and give himself a better chance in the event he knows he SOCHI can win.

The world’s most famous snowboarder pulled out of the OPENING CEREMONY new Olympic event Friday Wednesday, say7:30 p.m. on NBC ing that after much del iberat ion, he has decided to bypass a chance at winning two gold medals at these games and instead concentrate on the halfpipe, where he’ll have a chance to win his third straight title next week.

“With the practice runs I have taken, even after course modifications and watching fellow athletes get hurt, the potential risk of injury is a bit too much for me to gamble my other Olympics goals on,” White said in a statement.

The world’s most decorated rider in a sport known for its risktakers, White’s decision was a stunner that dealt yet another blow to the still-to-start Sochi Games.

They have been wracked by security threats and political dust-ups, along with the loss of at least one other headliner, injured American skier Lindsey Vonn.

The simple, most basic premise of the Olympics is to bring the athletes of the world together.

And in Sochi, those athletes are truly coming from all parts of the world — whether their homeland is a winter wonderland or not. So here’s a look at four of the most surprising storylines about these Olympics. TIM REYNOLDS (AP)

Olympic Oddities

3. Mexican Skier Meet Alpine skier Hubertus von Hohenlohe, above, who was born in Mexico City, grew up in Austria and reportedly descends from German royalty. He’ll have two claims to fame at the Sochi Olympics: He’s 55 years old, and he’ll be competing in a skintight mariachi costume.

If he doesn’t finish last, it’ll be a massive surprise.

4. California Tops There are more U.S. Olympians this year from the Golden State (20) than any other in this nation.

Colorado and Minnesota — obviously, with more traditional winter climates — each have 19 representatives wearing the red, white and blue in Sochi, according to the U.S. Olympic Committee.

Washington’s 0-19-5 when it has less than three goals this year Capitals For years, the Capitals have proven themselves capable of winning high-scoring affairs, though the same cannot be said for games where goals are at a premium.

Washington has not won a game this season in which it has scored less than three goals. After their 1-0 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday, the Capitals are now 0-19-5 in those low-scoring games, leaving them as the only team in the NHL without a win in those situations.

“What it proves is you can’t worry about goals. You’ve got to worry about your own end,” coach Adam Oates said. “You’ve got to be a defensive team first, and it’s amazing when you play good defense how you get chances.”

The Capitals, who emerged as perennial contenders by playing offensive-minded hockey, have never been particularly adept at winning low-scoring games.

In fairness, they did not have to as they overwhelmed opponents offensively. Yet that has not been the case in recent seasons. With the

exception of a foray into defenseoriented hockey under former coach Dale Hunter two seasons ago, the Capitals have struggled to adjust.

“It’s something that we’ve been missing over the last few years,” defenseman Karl Alzner said.

“We were like that a little bit when [Hunter] was here. That’s because our style wasn’t a goal-scoring style; we just had to grind it out and that’s what happened but it’s pretty necessary. … We’ve struggled with those over the years.”

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the Alex Ovechkin-era Capitals arguably had their greatest postseason success under Hunter, whose nofrills approach led them to a sevengame upset of the defending champion Bruins and within one victory of the Eastern Conference final in 2012.

Yet, if the Capitals, three points out of the final wild-card spot with 25 games remaining, even want to qualify for the playoffs, then they must find a way to win low-scoring games.

“No question,” Oates said.

“Those are points you’ve got to get.” ADAM VINGAN (FOR E XPRESS)

NFL Awards Thursday Deal to CBS

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch waves during Wednesday’s parade.

Seattle Erupts for Super Bowl Parade Police estimate about 700,000 people went to event to celebrate NFL Hundreds of thousands of notoriously loud Seahawks fans cranked up the volume Wednesday, cheering, chanting and going berserk during a parade to celebrate the first Super Bowl victory in the history of the franchise.

The mood in downtown Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions began near the Space Needle and slowly made its way to CenturyLink Field, the home of the team.

Police estimated about 700,000 people — more than the population of the city — attended what might have been the largest gathering in Seattle history.

Shawn Cooper and Marlana Studebaker of Covington, Wash.,

“I think the teachers are probably jealous.

If I was them, I would have canceled school.”

staked out a spot hours before the parade started and displayed supersized photo cutouts of quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman, prompting many fans to stop and take photos.

“This was a long-awaited win.

It’s well worth the wait,” Cooper said. “They’re years ahead of their time which makes me believe there’s another one coming.”

TV Lineup COLLEGE HOOPS (7 P.M., ESPN) Sean Kilpatrick (19.4 points per game) and No. 7 Cincinnati (21-2, 10-0 AAC) have won 14 straight games heading into tonight’s contest against No. 22 UConn (17-4, 5-3).

NBA (8 P.M., TNT) The injury-riddled Spurs head to Brooklyn to face a Nets squad that was 10-3 in January.

Nets point guard Shaun Livingston has scored in double-digits in three straight games.

The NFL has decided to shift eight of its Thursday night games to a broadcast network, and announced Wednesday that CBS won the bid to showcase more of television’s hottest property.

CBS will air the games during the first eight weeks of the season with its top broadcast team of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms, simulcasting them with the NFL Network.

The league’s cable network will show six Thursday night games alone later in the season, produced

by CBS with Nantz and Simms also in the booth. Two Saturday games are included in the deal, but it is unclear whether they will be on CBS or the NFL Network.

The NFL said the contract is for one year, and the league has an option to extend it for 2015. Finan-

awards shows are increasingly important for broadcasters as the audience fragments for traditional fare, and football games are the most dependable ratings-grabbers. Sunday’s Super Bowl, with 112.2 million viewers, set a record as the most-watched program in U.S. television history.

NBC’s biggest hit each fall is its Sunday night package of NFL games.

The NFL started a limited package of Thursday games in 2006, and showed 13 games on the NFL Network this past season. Its goal is to both increase the visibility of the NFL Network through promotion on television’s most-watched network, along with putting the Thursday games on firmer footing, said Brian Rolapp, the league’s executive vice president for media.

B.J. Novak ACTOR, AUTHOR OF ‘ONE MORE THING’

In “One More Thing” ($25, Knopf), a book of 64 short stories, B.J. Novak uses fiction to slyly ask big questions: How do you plan your time in heaven when you have an eternity? What if the tortoise and the hare had a rematch? What’s the best way to find love? (The answer to that last one is a to wear a red T-shirt). Get ready to see more of Novak, who wrote for and starred in “The Office,” on the literary circuit: this is the first in a two-book deal. And last month he signed another two-book contract, this time for works aimed at kids. He’s at Politics and Prose on Saturday.

I wrote a book of fiction for a number of reasons. One is that I just didn’t feel like talking about myself. I was the only one who would be interested. Another is a lot of the biggest things I think about aren’t especially interesting from a guy who played the temp on “The Office.” It’s not the biggest life experience from which to explore the issues of love and perfection and the universal. Whereas in fiction I feel that you can because it’s not about who’s telling it to you, it’s just about what the story is.

But within fiction, you stayed in the vein of humor.

I wanted to do that. I love fiction and I read a lot of it. Unfortunately, a lot of the best stuff isn’t very accessible or entertaining. It’s deep, it’s profound, but especially in short fiction, a lot of the best stuff is internal and cold and distancing. I feel like for better or worse, I want to be an entertainer. I felt like there aren’t that many people out there, at least in the short story form that aren’t just trying to win an obscure literary prize but are trying to write the story that’s passed around like a great TV show.

And when I looked at them, often they were too specific for that: It’s nothing Michael Scott would say, it’s nothing that a romantic comedy would have, but it’s something that was very much on my mind.

The stories are so short — you spend only a few pages on some characters. Was that refreshing after working on a sitcom?

It was so exciting for me to get out of that box. I think you spend 8 years at Dunder Mifflin and you really want to see the wider world.

“In short fiction, a lot of the best stuff is internal and cold and distancing. I feel like for better or worse, I want to be an entertainer.”

You’ll be performing some of the stories Saturday, right?

That’s another thing that I wanted to do with this book is make the live performance of fiction a night of entertainment, to make this something someone might actually want to leave their house and go see. I wrote the book while workshopping it at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles once a month. So, going to Politics and Prose, to me it’s not just about selling books, it’s about creating a night of entertainment.

How does performing stories from the book compare to performing for TV or theater?

There’s a funny paradox in that I thought of this book as a way to not be personal. As you said, it wasn’t a memoir, it wasn’t about myself, and yet I’ve never felt as exposed — in a good way — as when I’m reading fiction on stage. In a way, when you’re writing fiction, you really can’t hide.

What inspired these stories?

In another life, San Fermin’s Ellis Ludwig-Leone would model the latest in Warby Parker eyewear.

Life by the Horns The creator of indie orchestra San Fermin shook off his fear and started composing Music After graduating from Yale in 2011 with a degree in classical music composition, Ellis Ludwig-Leone was paralyzed with post-collegiate anxiety. Unsure of his path as a professional musician, he escaped to The Banff Centre, a secluded artist residency community in the mountains of Canada, where he found a respite from his uncertainty.

Instead of worrying about his future, he just made music.

“They give you this cabin, and

it’s pretty isolated except for some classical musicians who are there,” Ludwig-Leone says of his six weeks at Banff. “It’s really gorgeous.

There’s something about writing a song and then climbing a mountain at your lunch break that’s a little bit insane.”

Reinvigorated and inspired, Ludwig-Leone channeled his angst into writing an hourlong, 17-song

chamber-pop record — think parts The National, Sufjan Stevens and Dirty Projectors — under the pseudonym San Fermin.

The name, taken from the Spanish festival famous for the Running of the Bulls, served as a thematic starting place for Ludwig-Leone, who needed a release from his restlessness.

to the system; I was kind of numb to new experience,” the 24-yearold says. “I sort of romanticized [the Running of the Bulls] as this massive ritual in which this massive throng of humans put themselves in danger just to get their hearts beating a little bit.”

An image of a bull occupies the record’s cover, and the animal serves as a model for the album’s quixotic, overly masculine male protagonist and his overwrought search for meaning and love in a confusing world. The self-titled album takes the shape of a longwinded conversation between the dramatic male character and his sassy female foil as they make sense of their mixed-up romantic feelings.

Recurring lyrical motifs come and go like classical movements.

“It’s just two people having a conversation — loosely,” LudwigLeone says. “Sometimes with each other — or even just with themselves. You get to know them as you listen through.”

A 22-piece orchestra performs the compositions, while members of the New York band Lucius — Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig — assume a singular role as the female vocal lead. Allen Tate plays the male lead.

Ludwig-Leone, who has only ever written lyrics for others to sing, is fascinated by how his words’ meanings can mutate in another vocalist’s hands.

“It really shows you that [the lyrics] have a life of their own,” Ludwig-Leone says. “Whatever feeling you had when you were writing these lyrics or writing this melody gets sort of bonded in this chemical way with whatever is going on in the singer.”

About a Toy

In “The Lego Movie,” out Friday, the click-and-lock bricks come to life, the better to position themselves in a darkened room right under your bare foot. If they joined these other movie toys, they could have the ultimate play date. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

1 ‘Toy Story’ Woody, Buzz and Co. delighted us in 1995; when their story wrapped up 15 years later, we loved them enough to sob over their impending doom. Not to worry — that blue, blue sky always holds the promise of a new kid to love.

2 ‘Ted’ Many people have their childhood lovey stashed somewhere secret. In this 2012 comedy, Mark Wahlberg’s teddy bear grows up along with him, acquiring a taste for ladies and weed.

3 ‘Pinocchio’ Adoption laws may not have been as strict in 1940 as they are today, but Geppetto still chose to cut out the middleman and build his own son.

4 ‘The Indian in the Cupboard’ “It’s totally fine to give a boy a cupboard for his birthday” is the first lesson from this 1995 film. The second is “as long as the child never realizes it can essentially turn him into a god by bringing his toys to life.”

5 ‘Child’s Play’ “It’s totally fine to give a boy a doll for his birthday” is the first lesson from this 1988 film. The second is “keep your receipt, because said doll might be possessed by a serial killer and Target has a strict return policy.”

Joey deBettencourt makes contact with a ladder-based mermaid (Benjamin Schrader) as Edward Tournier watches in the background in “Peter and the Starcatcher.”

Mind the Gaps Imaginative viewers fill in the blanks at ‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ Stage “Peter and the Starcatcher,” now at the Kennedy Center, needs you.

Not just to fill the seats, but to fill the stage.

The Tony Award-winning play, based on “Peter and the Starcatchers,” a 2004 young adult novel by

Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, tells the story of Peter Pan before he was Peter Pan. The stage is packed with ships and oceans and crocodiles, none of which you actually get to see. Instead, a dozen actors create the scenes with their bodies, and household items like ropes, ladders and umbrellas.

For example, at one point, star Joey deBettencourt takes on the momentous role of a wall.

(For most of the play, he’s Boy, the adult-hating dreamer who

becomes Peter.)

“A lot of time being a wall is more about following the exact choreography of the scene,” he says. It’s not exactly a Method moment for him; the wall doesn’t have an in-depth backstory or anything. “What I’m thinking about is standing in exactly the right place.”

Taking the stage as living scenery gives deBettencourt and the other actors opportunities not available in tech-heavy shows.

“Since we as actors sometimes are walls or doorways or things like that, everyone is involved in every scene,” deBettencourt says.

“It’s a very convenient way of getting everyone to be involved.”

“When you go see a show and there’s a moment when someone flies or something, people immediately start trying to figure out how it’s done, saying ‘Oh, they use that wire, and that other wire goes there,’ ” deBettencourt says.

“There’s something more exciting about ‘We’re gonna do this, but we’re gonna do it without technology. We’re going to create it with just our bodies.’ ” The low-tech staging means the audience needs to be involved as well, filling in the blanks with their imaginations: When the actors tell you to see an ocean, that ocean is entirely up to you. DeBettencourt says that mental collaboration is particularly important at the end, when Boy makes his transformation into Neverland’s most famous resident.

“The island is this amazing imaginative world he lives in,” deBettencourt says. “And everyone in the audience is imagining what Neverland is like. Everyone creates their own Neverland.”

A Decade of DC9

Lovin’ This Club DC9 celebrates its first decade with a week of special shows:

Monday Chain and The Gang — Ian Svenonius’ cheeky, bluesy, sometimes political ’70s throwback. 8 p.m., $10

NICK KIRKPATRICK (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

In 2003, local DJ and club manager Bill Spieler was looking for a place to open his own music joint.

After showing him a few duds, his real estate agent suggested a twostory space at Ninth & U streets.

“When I walked in, I just said, ‘Oh yes, this is the space,’ ” Spieler says. “I knew how great it could be as a live music venue.” The low ceilings and exposed beams would make for good acoustics, he thought, and the second floor was twice the size of the first, leaving plenty of room for a stage.

Spieler opened that space to the public as DC9 in February 2004, and in the decade since, he’s built it into one of the most reliably rocking clubs in the District. Starting Sunday, DC9 will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a week’s worth of live local acts, culminating with a reunion of the DJs of the nowextinct Nouveau Riche, one of the recurring parties that have given the club its reputation for raucous dance nights.

Another, Liberation Dance Party, helped make DC9 a prime destination for partiers sick of the Top 40 and the house music that dominated the local club scene.

The indie music video night, which launched in 2004, ran every Friday for more than eight years before Spieler ended it last January in response to changing music trends.

“I was getting frustrated with the music of the time,” he says. “[It] was really slow and not a lot of energy.” Spieler now plays danceable remixes of those indie favorites at Coal Box, which started filling the Liberation Dance Party void last April.

ing regular upgrades to the space and the staff. When Steve Lambert joined as booking manager in 2007, he brought a hefty Rolodex of music industry contacts with him, upping the caliber of bands that came through (including national acts like Japandroids, The xx and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros). The wide range of music draws a diverse crowd — on some

nights, you’re as likely to see a necktie as a neck tattoo. And the heated roof deck, which Spieler counts as one of the best decisions he’s made for the club, made DC9 a popular stop on the city’s outdoor drinking circuit when it opened in 2010.

The standard bar food that populated DC9’s menu in its childhood got a serious makeover, too, when Spieler’s wife, Amber Bursik, became chef in 2011. The classically trained chef makes nearly all the food, from the buttermilk-brined fried chicken to the kimchee, in house.

DC9 has seen many changes for the better over the years, but it’s also weathered some hardships.

Spieler and four other DC9 employ-

ees were charged with homicide in October 2010 after a young man, Ali Ahmed Mohammed, threw a brick through the club’s window and died while the DC9 crew restrained him until police could arrive. Before the charges were dropped the next month, several booking agents vowed to boycott the club.

“It was a little bit scary,” Spieler says. “But those people that had been to the club were quite shocked and couldn’t believe that it was true. So when we were able to open back up, those people came back in droves.”

Spieler says he never expected DC9 to hit the decade mark — he’s a live-in-the-moment kind of guy. But with a new Sunday brunch starting this spring and a neighborhood that’s getting busier by the day, DC9 looks ready for its tween years.

A COOL HUNDRED

The National Portrait Gallery presents strong evidence America leads the world in coolness

ON THE COVER JIMI HENDRIX (1942-1970)

By Linda McCartney, 1967 Hendrix, whose face graces the cover of the “American Cool” exhibition catalog, redefined the art of guitar playing — and even the sound of our national anthem.

But his untimely death exposed a darker side of cool, a mysterious complexity that sometimes ends in tragedy for huge talents who don’t quite fit in. “Being ‘cool’ is often a strategy for navigating through a challenging society. It’s how you deal with the s--- in life,” co-curator Joel Dinerstein says. “ ‘Cool’ is not [about being] heroic.”

Coolest Contribution: “Are You Experienced,” 1967.

Ah, the good old USA. Land of the free and home of the cool.

“The coolest people live in America,” says Joel Dinerstein, co-curator of “American Cool,” a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery that celebrates 100 specimens of coolness. “The idea of ‘cool’ is central to the American self-concept. It embodies a characteristically American maverick individuality.”

“And pushing the boundaries of expression is a hallmark of U.S. democracy,” says Frank H. Goodyear III, the exhibition’s other curator.

“Cool” as we know it entered the American lexicon through African-American jazz musicians in the 1920s. Legend has it tenor saxophonist Lester Young popularized the word, throwing it around while playing shows. Later adopted by the mostly white members of the Beat Generation, the term eventually spread around the world. Today, if you say “cool” in almost any country, the locals will get what you mean.

Of course, not all people are created cool. Having studied the sociological history and meaning of “cool” since they were grad students at the University of Texas at Austin in the 1990s, Dinerstein and Goodyear devised a rubric of four “cool” characteristics, at least three of which must be met for a person to qualify. The co-curators looked for these attributes when picking subjects for their show: 1. An original artistic vision carried off with a signature style; 2. The embodiment of cultural rebellion or transgression for a given generation; 3. Iconic power, or instant visual recognition; and 4. A recognized cultural legacy.

Featuring photography by such masters as Diane Arbus, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Annie Leibovitz, “American Cool” presents portraits of the 100 people who best embody this truly American concept (a handful of whom were “cool” even before it was cool).

Here are 10 standouts. ELENA GOUK ASSIAN (FOR E XPRESS) National Portrait Gallery, Eighth and F streets NW; Fri. through Sept. 7, free; 202-633-8300, npg.si.edu.

(Gallery Place)

WALT WHITMAN (1819-1892)

By Samuel Hollyer, circa 1855 The father of free verse championed a radical new style of writing while challenging the prudishness of 19th-century society. The poet’s contemporaries were shocked and appalled by his non-rhyming verses, which audaciously explored “obscene” themes, including sexuality and homoeroticism.

Coolest Contribution: “Leaves of Grass,” 1855.

MILES DAVIS (1926-1991)

By Aram Avakian, 1955 (printed 2012) Davis, whose 1957 album is even called “Birth of the Cool,” was most famous for pioneering a clear, vibrato-less tone on trumpet and being on the forefront of a handful of new jazz styles, most notably “cool jazz.”

Coolest Contribution: A tie between “Kind of Blue,” 1959, and “Bitches Brew,” 1970.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS (1818-1895)

By Unknown, 1856 Douglass fearlessly set out to prove that black slaves were as intelligent as their white masters and deserved to be recognized as independent human beings and American citizens. An escaped slave himself, the great orator fought for the equality of all people, regardless of race, gender or national origin.

Coolest Contribution: “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave,” 1845.

ELVIS PRESLEY (1935-1977)

By Roger Marshutz, 1956 Even the coolest of the cool bow down to Elvis. John Lennon considered the King such a huge influence that he liked to say, “Before Elvis, there was nothing.” Fellow “American Cool” subject Bob Dylan’s view: “When I first heard Elvis’ voice, I just knew that I wasn’t going to work for anybody, and nobody was going to be my boss. Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.” Need we say more?

Coolest Contribution: “Elvis Presley,” 1956 (coolest album) and “Jailhouse Rock,” 1957 (coolest song and movie).

BILLIE HOLIDAY (1915-1959) By Bob Willoughby, 1951 (Printed 1991) A friend of Lester Young’s, Lady Day often headlined at jazz shows but she still had to enter white clubs through the back door. Holiday’s heart-wrenching rendition of “Strange Fruit” exposed American racism like nothing else could: “Southern trees bear a strange fruit/ Blood on the leaves and blood at the root/ Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze/ Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.”

Coolest Contribution: “Lady Sings the Blues,” 1956.

JOAN DIDION (1934- )

By Julian Wasser, 1970 A firm believer in the sociocultural power of the media and a champion of literary journalism, Didion mapped new territory for writers. Using methods usually confined to fiction writing, she uncovered the ugliness behind the American Dream.

Coolest Contribution: “Slouching Towards Bethlehem,” 1968.

JAMES DEAN (1931-1955)

By Roy Schatt, 1954 While Dinerstein and Goodyear were conducting preliminary interviews with anyone and everyone on the topic of “cool,” James Dean was one of two people who always came up first (Miles Davis was the other). A poster boy for disenfranchised youth, Dean literally lived life in the fast lane while breaking down boundaries in acting and sexuality.

Coolest Contribution: “Rebel Without a Cause,” 1955, one of only three feature films Dean made.

JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT (1960-1988)

By Dmitri Kasterine, 1986 Often cited as one of the first true street artists, this HaitianAmerican Brooklynite helped usher graffiti (previously attributed to thugs and juvenile delinquents) into the art world. Basquiat would paint his signature three-pronged crown on his canvases and tag it on walls. To this day, street artists pay homage to their forefather by painting Basquiat’s crown into their own works.

Coolest Contribution: Tags that used to cover the walls and subway cars of New York City.

BENICIO DEL TORO (1967- )

By Cass Bird, 2008 This Puerto Rican-born actor oozes cool, with his rugged masculinity, secretive private life and unwavering devotion to his art. In preparation for his 1998 role as Dr. Gonzo in “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” Del Toro gained about 40 pounds and completely altered his speech. He so believably portrayed the maniacal Samoan attorney that it took the actor a while to get back to being offered “normal” roles.

Coolest Contribution: “Traffic,” 2000.

“Vinegar is a living thing that you have to taste all the time as it changes.

That’s what I find so cool about it.”

A local chef and a passionate craftsman raise vinegar’s profile with inventively flavored batches To make vinegar from scratch you need alcohol, a sample of live bacteria known as a “mother” and cheesecloth to ward off pests. Lots and lots of cheesecloth.

“Whoever said you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar is lying,” says BJ Lieberman, the sous chef at Rose’s Luxury who has turned the basement of the Capitol Hill hotspot into a lab fit for Walter White Wine Vinegar.

Using an elaborate process that involves bubblers, oscillating fans and pH meters, Lieberman makes Willy Wonka-like flavors of vinegar (Mountain Dew, bourbon-and-ginger ale, Manischewitz-and-Concord grape) that are laced in dishes on the menu at Rose’s Luxury.

Why would Lieberman bother with the laborious process of making vinegar when he can just pluck a bottle off the shelf at a grocery store? “Vinegar is

a living thing that you have to taste all the time as it changes,” he says. “That’s what I find so cool about it.” Plus, live artisanal vinegars (as opposed to infusing flavor into the pasteurized versions from the supermarket) add an inimitable brightness to food and drinks and contain probiotics that aid with digestion.

Flavored vinegars can be used to deglaze pans or as an alternative to citrus in cocktails. They can be mixed into a vinaigrette and often they’re smooth enough to drink straight from the bottle.

Still, vinegar has long been the Art Garfunkel of the culinary world, better known for playing second fiddle to a much smoother, more versatile companion than it is for its own unique merits. But Lieberman is championing the piquant liquid’s many benefits.

Where To Tart …

The recent popularity of flavored vinegars is more of a resurgence than a new trend: Their roots in the United States can be traced back to a bunch of thrifty boozers in Colonial America. “Gatherings around the punch bowl were the cocktail parties of the upper class in England,” says Dale DeGroff, the founding president of the Museum of the American Cocktail in New Orleans and author of “The Essential Cocktail.” “When they caught on in the colonies, less affluent groups didn’t have access to affordable citrus so they ended up using vinegar with sugar.”

If that sounds gross, it’s because it kind of was. Vinegar was also used in the colonies to preserve fruit in the offseason, and by the 19th century people realized the resulting liquid — infused with natural fruit flavors — wasn’t half bad. Sugar and honey were added and “shrubs” were born. The taste of a shrub is comparable to a sweet kombucha, with a light sparkle and a slight tartness that’s more palatable than bitter lemons and limes.

Done wrong, a cocktail made with shrubs can be disastrous. “It’s just a little bit dangerous,” DeGroff says, “because vinegar, after all, tastes like vinegar.”

Locally, you can find shrubs-doneright at Republic, where a glass of the People’s Punch includes a lemon, orange and lime variety ($7); in the tangy Hollow Apple cocktail from Eat the Rich made with a green apple shrub (above, $12) and the Night Gladiolus cocktail at Toki Underground, in which beverage director Colin Sugalski mixes Nolet’s gin, egg whites and a rice wine vinegar infused with ginger, lemongrass, pomegranate, honey and bird’s eye chilies ($10).

Daniel Liberson, owner of Lindera Farms Vinegar, shares a similar passion. Coincidentally, Liberson has been working as a server at Rose’s Luxury while getting his business off the ground. “BJ and I have developed a quick friendship/ rivalry,” Liberson jokes. To hear him talk about his made-from-scratch vinegars is like listening to a grandmother talk about her granddaughter. And in a way, his vinegars are just as much kin: they’re made using elderflowers and mulberries hand-

His vinegars are available at retailers including Glen’s Garden Market and the Organic Butcher ($24 for a 7.1-ounce bottle), and Liberson is negotiating to get them used in some of the area’s more revered restaurants and bars, where they’re likely to stick around.

“Food trends disseminate from the highest tier of restaurant down to the mid-tier, until finally you see a foam on a McDonald’s burger,” Liberson says. “The best thing about the vinegar trend is it’s never going to go anywhere, because vinegar was around to begin with.”

WHAT’S IN THIS? Pod Almighty

ICE CREAM JUBILEE

Cardamom — the subtly sweet black seed pod that has long been relegated as a background note in Indian spice blends — is finding itself in unexpected places.

“It’s the next salted caramel,” says Victoria Lai, the owner of Ice Cream Jubilee, which is opening its first shop, in Navy Yard, this spring (icecreamjubilee.com). “It has an element of novelty for the American palette,” says Lai, who pairs cardamom with crushed black pepper

in one of her signature ice creams, above, available at Glen’s Garden Market ($3.49 for 8 ounces, 2001 S St. NW; 202-588-5698).

The ginger relative can also be found sprinkled into Mike Isabella’s ragu at Graffiato (707 Sixth St. NW; 202-289-3600). The restaurant also steeps it in alcohol and adds it to the lemony Champagne Supernova ($11) for a gingery, clean finish. Isabella’s Greek venture, Kapnos, features the spice in a pomegranate soda ($6, 2201 14th St. NW; 202-234-5000).

Taha Ismail, the head mixologist at both restaurants, was inspired by his Morocco upbringing to incorporate the spice into the drinks.

“I learned to love the aroma it adds and appreciate how it complements so many ingredients,” Ismail says. AMBREEN ALI (FOR EXPRESS)

DAYNA SMITH (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

If ad space were real estate, this would be a historic row house in Logan Circle.

The mutton mughalai is one of the “Seven Wonders” specialties at Curry Mantra 3.

3’s a Crowd Pleaser Curry Mantra expands its NoVa empire with a tasty third installment Asad Sheikh says he aspires to be Northern Virginia’s version of Ashok Bajaj, the Indian entrepreneur who launched his eighth restaurant in the District last year.

Sheikh has made good on his intention in the past few years by opening three Indian restaurants, starting with Curry Mantra in Fairfax City in 2011 and adding Curry Mantra 2 in Falls Church last year.

The latest notch in Sheikh’s belt can be found in Vienna under the name (who would have thought?)

Curry Mantra 3, introduced in September.

With fewer than 50 seats, it’s

the smallest of the empire builder’s dining rooms. Sheikh intends to expand the space by taking over a neighbor’s lease this year. His first goal, he says, is to make Curry Mantra 3 busy.

That shouldn’t be a problem. Lunch finds a deal of a meal in the form of the buffet: 10 or so dishes that always include butter chicken and goat curry, at just under $10 a taker. And among the “Seven Wonders” at Curry Mantra 3 are attractions such as lamb meatballs in a cloak of yogurt zipped up with mint, cilantro and green chilies; and tender chicken arranged with spinach and yellow lentils. Indian standards such as chat masala and saag paneer are executed well, too.

Despite its name, Sheikh’s third restaurant is not a copy of its siblings. Those “wonders” on the menu are original to Curry Mantra 3, for instance, and the design, utilizing glittery tiles and posters celebrating Indian festivals, is also one of a kind.

Bottom line: “I don’t want people to get bored,” Sheikh says of the concept.

Yes, there’s a Curry Mantra 4 in his future. The restaurateur is eager to roll it out in either A lexandria or A rlington — close, in other words, to a future that includes Washington.

Ashley Monroe

Last year was a big one for country singer Ashley Monroe.

First, she released her critically acclaimed, Vince Gill-produced second album,“Like a Rose,” in March. Then, in May, she dropped “Annie Up,” her second album with Pistol Annies (a country girl-group that includes Miranda Lambert). With a traditional sound that’s heavy on life’s bittersweet moments, Monroe is well on her way to a lengthy career in the genre. She performs at the Birchmere in April.

It’s Not a Sing-Off

Clay Aiken is running for a Congressional seat in North Carolina 31

where I would just think, ‘I actually don’t know how I’m going to get through this day.’ Somehow, I think, because the character I was playing was actually my life, it was almost like therapy.”

Winslet’s acting, though, has been fueled by being an outlet from her more humble day-to-day life.

GILLES MINGASSON (ABC)

Broadcast Muse

“There’s a lot of actresses who can play broken people, but she does it without judging them.”

Winning ‘Trophy’

Read Marc’s previous columns at: www.washingtonpost.com/muse

Working Mother Kate Winslet taps into her real-life maternal role when she plays moms on screen Film Parenthood is particularly at the forefront of Kate Winslet’s mind, not just because of her brand new son, but because she has recently strung together a series of memorable, varied portraits of motherhood. It’s no coincidence, she says.

“I have been a parent since I was 25,” says the 38-year-old Winslet.

Her one-month-old son, Bear, is her third child and first with her third husband, Ned Rocknroll, the nephew of billionaire Richard Branson.

Winslet has a child with each previ-

ous husband, Sam Mendes and Jim Threapleton. “That’s a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely.”

Though playing a mother in movies often means being relegated to the outskirts of the drama, Winslet’s characters have had lives that aren’t defined solely by children, but remain passionate, complicated individuals.

The HBO miniseries “Mildred Pierce” was Winslet’s greatest examination of motherhood. She played a Depression-era woman separated from her husband and heartbroken by a spoiled daughter.

“That film kind of almost saved my life,” Winslet says. “It came along at a time when I was going through my divorce with Sam. There were days on ‘Mildred’

ABC’s sitcom “Trophy Wife” initially didn’t interest me. A show about a husband who moves on to a hot, young spouse seemed yucky. Then I read that the title was “ironic.” So I gave it a try (9:30 p.m., Tuesdays on ABC).

Hubbie is harried middle-aged lawyer Pete (“West Wing’s” Bradley Whitford, above right).

Ex No. 1 is Diane: a silver-medal Olympic swimmer and surgeon who has the peripheral vision of a shark. Ex No. 2 is Jackie, a New

By Marc Age ditz. “Trophy Wife” Silver Kate is young, has a “blond Swedish robot face” (Jackie’s words) and a good heart, but she’s an inexperienced stepmom to Pete’s three kids. Her idea of packing lunch: “a bag of ham and some Altoids.”

Amazingly, the three disparate wives all kinda get along.

My favorite character is adorably exuberant 9-year-old son, Bertie, adopted from China by Jackie and Pete.

Slammed by a soccer ball, he shrieks, “Oh, my uterus!” I don’t have room to explain why except to say the writers are masters of hilarious-yet-somehow-believable storytelling.

Ratings are low; DVR numbers are high. ABC: Stick with “Trophy”! If it’s canceled, I will feel Bertie’s pain: “Oh, my uterus!!!”

Now in Theaters In “Labor Day,” based on the Joyce Maynard novel, Kate Winslet plays a single mom, Adele, with a 13-yearold son (Gattlin Griffith) in a small New England town. An escaped convict (Josh Brolin) upends their domestic life when he kidnaps them and hides out at their house. Left by her husband, Adele had turned into a virtual shut-in, but is slowly awakened again by an unlikely love. (AP)

WINSLET IN “LABOR DAY,” ON THE ACTRESS’ GIFT FOR VULNERABILITY

“As an adult and a parent, when I’m not acting, I’m not acting,” Winslet says. “I’m being a parent and I’m on the school run and I’m sowing labels onto socks. So when I do it, it’s just such a treat. It’s such a privilege and such a pleasure. It’s almost like my time. It’s the one thing I do that’s marked for me.”

She has several films in the works, including the young-adult dystopian film “Divergent” and the Alan Rickman-directed “A Little Chaos,” about a pair of gardeners who compete to create a fountain at Versailles. With family life making her particularly selective, she says she’s especially motivated to avoid anything “workaday.”

“For me, the stakes get higher because I do so little,” Winslet says. “I do absolutely want to feel absolutely stretched and pulled and chewed and spat out and trodden on — all of those things. It’s my big burst of creativity and I want to be able to make the most of those moments.” JAKE COYLE (AP)

A Likely (Super)Hero After All Comics On Wednesday, Marvel Comics launched its rebooted Ms. Marvel character. She’s a 16-year-old superhero who is Pakistani American. And she’s Muslim. The debut is part of a larger women’s “Characters and Creators” initiative, yet media attention focused on Ms. Marvel when the New Yorkbased publisher announced that Kamala Khan would inherit the mantle of the old Ms. Marvel, Carol

Danvers (now the hero of Captain Marvel).

“People are trying to find something controversial in it,” Sana Amanat, the book’s Pakistani-American editor, said in an interview.

A manat came up with the idea for Kamala Khan after telling a story about her childhood to friend and fellow Marvel editor Steve Wacker. Members of the news media “want to know if we’re going to be talking about the oppression of women,” Amanat said. “I’ve had a lot of questions about whether we are going to be changing the face of Islam.”

In “Ms. Marvel,” we meet a 16-year-old girl living in New Jer-

The “Ms. Marvel” reboot centers on a first-generation American heroine.

sey with her family. She’s trying to find her place in the world, survive high school and not tick off her parents. When she encounters a creepy, otherworldly mist, her life changes and we have the setup for her eventually becoming Ms. Marvel.

Kamala comes off as sweet, conflicted and immensely relatable. She could be a Latina or an AfricanAmerican, a descendant of Chinese immigrants or a blonde Daughter of the American Revolution. At its heart, the first issue of Ms. Marvel is a familiar story about a girl who feels like the worst kind of misfit.

And that’s something that any comic fan can understand.

Toni Braxton’s ‘Divorce’ makes an easy listen out of bad breakups Album Review

TV TONIGHT 9 P.M.

‘Reign’ (CW) After King Henry accuses her of adultery, Queen Catherine tries to save herself by exposing Bash’s dark past.

He and Mary go on a quest to find an even deadlier secret about the queen.

Nostradamus reveals the truth about Clarissa, the castle ghost.

“They were HUGE! We were really impressed.”

MARC BAPTISTE

Every R&B musician has mined his or her love life for material. That includes Toni Braxton and producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds.

“Love, Marriage & Divorce” is a new album of duets from the frequent collaborators, who helped define the genre in the ’90s. It’s a fresh, honest look at the ways in which relationships fall apart.

The title is a bit misleading. The material about splitting up is not only more plentiful, but more interesting. The singles trickling out (“Hurt You,” “Roller Coaster”) are lovely songs, but don’t represent the tone of the album. Taken as a whole, “Love, Marriage & Divorce” covers every stage of a breakup with humor, wisdom, wit, occasional pettiness and

self-awareness.

Sonically, the album isn’t a big leap for either Edmonds or Braxton — Babyface is still fond of lacing his productions with acoustic guitar; Braxton’s ever-smoky voice is unchanged, and she still fills her songs with dramatic emoting.

But the throwback vibe that dominates isn’t a problem at all. Good songs about bad breakups are, unlike marriage vows, timeless.
