âThe Honors are the greatest weekend of the year  and it is also the bane of our existence  â Deborah Rutter  said with a laugh. For the president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts  the annual Kennedy Center Honors  airing on CBS on Dec. 26 and honoring dancer Carmen de Lavallade  rapper LL Cool J  television producer and writer Norman Lear and singers Gloria Estefan and Lionel Richie  is a welcome national spotlight on the memorial to the late president. But thatâs all anyone seems to know about the the white jewel box on the Potomac.
âWe really like to think about the other 364 days of the year  and all of the programming that happens on those days â  Rutter  told me in the latest episode of âCape Up.â âWhat I love about being here at the nationâs cultural center is that we have really a mandate to welcome all of the performing arts. It is not just a performing arts center for one assumed art form or another.â
I bet you didnât know that hip hop was one of those art forms at the Kennedy Center and that Q-Tip is its artistic director. âThis is a first â  Rutter  said. âAnd as far as I know  there is no other artistic director for hip-hop â¦ anywhere in probably the world. And weâre very proud to have Q-Tip here leading  guiding and inspiring us.â
While she didnât need much convincing   Rutter  allowed that there could be others who might â for fear of what it could mean for the other arts. âJust because we are bringing in more programming that includes hip-hop artists  it does not mean that weâre doing less dance or less international programming or less of the National Symphony Orchestra â she said. âIt just means that weâre doing more  that we have thrown open the doors of the Kennedy Center  and we are ensuring that all are welcome here.â

There are nine performance spaces at the Kennedy Center that are in use all year. In addition to the orchestra and  the Washington National Opera  Rutter  noted the 46-year-old institution has âa magnificent  world-recognized ballet season. We have contemporary dance  we have jazz  we have a huge jazz series  chamber music  recitals  comedy  international programming.â
Listen to the podcast to hear  Rutter  talk further about the work of the Kennedy Center and how it fits into the cultural life of Washington.  She  goes into what it is like to be the local performing arts center for members of Congress  foreign diplomats and âquite a number of justices from the Supreme Court.â But  Rutter  insists none of those constituencies tries to exert influence over programming.
âHere at the center we have no limits on what we could present â  Rutter  told me. âThe problems I always describe is how to say no  when to say no  and how to not be really  truly overwhelmed by the extraordinary limitless richness of what happens here.â

Fatah supports Abbas decision not to resume peace negotiations
The Central Committee of the Palestinian Fatah party said Sunday it supports Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' refusal to resume negotiations with Israel until the Jewish state stops settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Central Committee said in a statement that AbbasAbbas' rejection to resume peace talks with Israel has met the expectations of the national and factional sectors that there should be "clear basis for resuming the peace process."
The highest decision-making body of AbbasAbbas' Fatah party stressed that the negotiations "are pointless as long as Israel continues to construct settlements without submitting itself to the international resolutions."
On Saturday  U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked Abbas to drop his condition of not to resume the peace talks with Israel unless it freezes settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Neither could  Vincent Brown   41  who plans to use the camera on the phone to take pictures for his bakery business. Five friends joined him on the line.
 Brown  says is looking forward to the Face ID facial recognition and says  he  wonât miss the home button. âThe home button is kind of aggravating to  me  â  he  says. As for the price   Brown  said  he  already spent around $1 000 for an iPhone 7 Plus.

While Chen and  Brown  plan to buy the phone for personal use  others were likely looking to make a quick buck reselling the phone  especially with the X reportedly in short supply. Many people on the line spoke little or no English  or were reluctant to talk to USA TODAY about why they were willing to camp out. Apple limits each individual buyer to two phones.
