U.S. military frets over delays

A growing number of Democrats are
threatening to defy the White House over
the national debt, joining Republican
calls for deficit cuts as a requirement for
consenting to lift the countrys borrowing
limit.
The tension is the latest illustration of
how the tea-party-infused GOP is driving
the debate over federal spending. And it
shows how the debt issue is testing the
Obama administrations clout as Demo-
crats, particularly those from politically
competitive states, resist White House
arguments against setting conditions on
legislationto raise the debt ceiling.
The push-back has come in recent days
from Sens. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), chair-
manof theSenateBudget Committee, and
Joe Manchin(D-W.Va.), a freshmanwhois
running for reelection next year. Sen.
Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) told constituents
duringtheEaster recess that hewouldnot
vote to lift the debt limit without a real
and meaningful commitment to debt re-
duction.
Even Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.),
generally a stalwart White House ally, is
undecided on the issue and is hopeful
that adebt-ceilingbill canbe attachedtoa
measure tocut the federal deficit, saidher
spokesman, Linden Zakula. Klobuchar is
also upfor reelectionnext year.

The death toll soared to near 300
Thursday as rescuers dug through rubble
from Mississippi to Virginia in the na-
tions deadliest natural disaster since
Hurricane Katrina.
It was what they call a tornado out-
break, something rarely seen on such a
scale. Not since April 3, 1974, has the
UnitedStates witnessedsomuchdestruc-
tion from twisters, and tornado experts
say Wednesday, April 27, 2011, may go
down in history as the most destructive
outbreak in eight decades.
Alabama took the most brutal pound-
ing, the entire state scarred by a monster
funnel cloud that crossed the state on a
track that struck Tuscaloosa head-on and
chewed through the Birmingham sub-
urbs before exiting into Georgia. At least
204 Alabamans lost their lives.
This place looks like a war zone,
Jackie Wuska Hurt, director of develop-
ment for the honors college at the Univer-
sity of AlabamainTuscaloosa, wrote inan
e-mail. Folks looked like refugees walk-
ing single file with suitcases or grocery
carts of their belongings down the side-
walks of University Boulevard.
President Obama, who called the dam-
age nothing short of catastrophic, will
tour the devastated region Friday before
going to Florida for the space shuttle
launch.
Its almost total disbelief, said Phyllis
Little, director of emergencymanagement
for Cullman County, Ala., a largely rural
areaof 82,000pepperedwithsmall towns.
The county courthouse lost its roof. The
Baptist churchhas askeletonfor asteeple.
Old buildings that have been there for
hundreds of years have just collapsed.
The entire county is without power,
and emergency responders are operating
on natural gas generators. Little has been
turning away volunteers who have called

U.S. aid officials have been forced to
delay three large development programs
intended to support the American mili-
tary strategy insouthernAfghanistanat a
critical, make-or-break moment in the
war.
The initiatives, which are supposed to
support local governments, agricultural
development and job-training efforts,
have been held up by bureaucratic mis-
steps and funding cuts by Congress, ac-
cording to senior U.S. officials. As a result,
the programs will not beginuntil muchof
the summer fighting season has conclud-
ed.
Military commanders have voiced dis-
may that the initiatives, to be run by the
U.S. Agency for International Develop-
ment, have been pushed back. Our flank
is exposed without these programs, said
one senior U.S. officer in Afghanistan.
After repeated complaints from the
military, USAID is scrambling to imple-
ment interim measures. Senior agency
officials insist thedelays will not affect the
delivery of agricultural aid or assistance
for local governance.
There will be no gaps in USAIDs
stabilization programming this summer,
said Earl Gast, the agencys director in
Afghanistan.

or seven years, the Food and Drug
Administration has been trying to
answer this question: What does it
mean to be gluten-free?
That is roughly the time it took to
build a tunnel beneath the English Chan-
nel to connect Britain and France.
In the meantime, foodmakers have
been deciding for themselves whether
they can jump into a lucrative new niche
and market their products as free from
gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and
barley. As a result, some products labeled
gluten-free contain no gluten, others
might have a trace and still more could
contain a sizable amount.
That murkiness is creating a real
problem for an increasing number of
Americans whose health depends on
avoiding even tiny amounts of gluten,

Obamas birth certificate incor-

asked Americans whether they
thought Obama was born in the
United States, and that the num-
ber who thought so dropped
substantially in that time as po-
tential presidential opponent
Donald Trump talked about the
topic. As the article said, a Times-
CBS poll this month found that
33 percent of Republicans be-
lieved that Obama was born in
the United States. But the other
poll results mentioned, finding
that 41 percent of Republicans
and 53 percent of independents
believed he was born in this
country, were from April 2010,
not from earlier this month.

For Petraeus, first impressions at CIA will be critical
BY WALTER PINCUS
First impressions will be im-
portant when Gen. David H. Pe-
traeus moves into the CIAs Lang-
leyheadquarters as thefourthCIA
director inthe past sevenyears.
The agency staff is always ner-
vous with change, particularly
whenthenewdirector comes with
a high-profile military back-
ground, a history of regularly
changing jobs and a hint that this
may just be a temporary stopover
onthe way to something else.
Senior CIA officials, who lived
through the unsuccessful, brief
tenures of John M. Deutch in the
mid-1990s and Porter J. Goss a
decade later, talk about both of
them arriving with their own en-
tourages and agendas to shake
things up.
LeonPanetta, thecurrent direc-
tor, heeded advice he had gotten
and arrived with only one person,
Jeremy Bash, a lawyer who had
worked as a staff member of the
House Permanent Select Commit-
tee onIntelligence. Recalling that,
one former senior CIAofficial said
Wednesday, Petraeus should get
out of the car with only one mili-
tary aide.
Robert L. Grenier, a retired
longtime CIAofficer, recalled that
Deutch came in 1995 from the
Pentagon, where he hadbeendep-
uty defense secretary, but withthe
expectation that after a year he
wouldreturnas defense secretary.
Petraeus, Grenier said, would
be making a big mistake if he did
what JohnDeutchdid, beingobvi-
ous [by bringing in] uniformed
persons everywhere on the sev-
enthfloor.
Goss, who had chaired the
House intelligence panel, arrived
with an agenda from the second
BushWhiteHousetocut out agen-
cy opponents of policy. In his
first weeks in office, the former
congressman tried to hire a for-
mer CIA officer whose separation
from the agency took place under
a cloud. When word was leaked to
the news media, Gosss staff at-
tempted to find the leaker
which led to confrontations with
top clandestine operatives, who
subsequently resigned.
Michael V. Hayden, anAir Force
general who became the CIAs di-
rector in 2006, thinks that Petra-
eus will see many things at the
agency that will be familiar.
He will find, like I did, that the
CIA is the most militarized civil-
ian organization, with all the val-
ues you find in the services,
Hayden said. Most agency em-
ployees are hardworking, devoted
to what they are doing. and loyal
to the country and the agency, he
added.
As for advice, Hayden said that
Petraeus will succeed if he does
the things that made himsuccess-
ful asacompanycommander. Eat
with the troops, walk around and
talk to them, and, by all means,
protect them. But, he added, Pe-
traeus will also find that at the
agency, theydont dohierarchyat
all. Some calledme general, some
sir, but many called me Mike.
JohnGannon, a veterananalyst
and onetime CIA deputy director
for intelligence, said: Its not
where [CIAdirectors] came from;
its what they did whenthey got to
the agency. He said that although
integrationof intelligence andthe
military in Iraq and Afghanistan
today flourishes in part thanks to
Petraeus, he wished that the
agency got back to being known
for stealing secrets and not drone
warfare.
Along with several other for-
mer agency officials, Gannon
pointed out that Gen. Walter Be-
dell Smith, who ran the CIA from
1950to1953andhadanenormous
impact on its future, understood
it was a civilian organization
whose major responsibility was to
the president, civilian agencies
and Congress, with success hav-
ing a lot to do with his relation-
ship withthe president.
John McLaughlin, who was
deputy CIA director from 2000 to
2004 and for several months the
CIAs acting director, said he
thinks the agency will be enam-
ored with Petraeus, as long as he
defends the personnel there and
shows respect for their work.
McLaughlin described as
myth that CIA employees recoil
from military outsiders. The CIA
is so integrated with the military
in so many fields, he said. Since
9/11 there is a comfort level that
didnt exist before.
But he pointed out that Petra-
eus will learnthat, comparedwith
theDefenseDepartment, theCIA
is relatively small, the focus is on
individuals and instead of an ex-
tensive chain of command [as in
themilitary], theorganizationhas
a relatively flat structure.
Petraeus comes to the agency
with a particularly high profile
and, like George H.W. Bush before
him, has long been seen as having
presidential aspirations. Bush
had to signa letter agreeing not to
runin1976as part of his confirma-
tion. That profile is seen within
the agency as both a plus and a
minus, veterans say.
The challenge for Petraeus is
to avoidpromoting himself rather
than the organization, said Gan-
non.
He cited as an example John
McCone, the Republican busi-
nessman who became CIA direc-
tor in the Kennedy administra-
tion. McConewas hugelyinfluen-
tial inside the White House and
highgovernment circles, Gannon
said. He was not on Meet the
Press, nor did he become a famil-
iar, public figure.

National security appointees introduced
Kerry expects swift
appointment process for
Obamas veteran picks
BY SCOTT WILSON
President Obama officially an-
nounced Thursday the shuffling
of his senior national security
team, naming a quartet of diplo-
matic, intelligence and defense
officials to help manage the final
stage of two wars, a tumultuous
Middle East and a politically
charged debate over the federal
budget that will touch all agen-
cies.
In an East Room ceremony,
Obama called his four nominees
Leon E. Panetta as Defense
secretary; Lt. Gen. John R. Allen
as commander of international
forces in Afghanistan; Gen. David
H. Petraeus as director of the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency; and
Ryan C. Crocker as ambassador to
Afghanistanas leaders of enor-
mous integrity and talent who
have devoted their lives to keep-
ing our nation strong and secure.
The nominees, all deeply expe-
riencedeither onthe battlefieldor
in the ways of Washington, leave
largely intact a national security
team that has been criticized as
insular and often lacking in cre-
ative thinking, particularly at a
time of historic change in the
MiddleEast andNorthAfrica. The
only new member of the team is
Crocker, a five-time ambassador
whomObama coaxedfroma com-
fortable retirement in academia.
Still, Obama, noting the ur-
gent challenges facing the coun-
try, signaled that he is seeking
continuity at a pivotal period.
I felt it was absolutely critical
that we had this team in place so
that we can stay focused on our
missions, maintain our momen-
tum, and keep our nation secure,
Obama said. I cannot think of a
group of individuals better suited
to lead our national security team
during this difficult time.
The nominees will take their
posts over the next five months if
confirmed by the Senate, an often
politically fraught process that
each man has successfully navi-
gated in the past. Even before
Obama officially announced the
nominees, Senate leaders praised
the selections and signaled a
quick confirmation process
ahead, as the president called for
in his remarks.
In a statement released shortly
after Obamas announcement,
Senate Republican Leader Mitch
McConnell (Ky.) said the presi-
dent is to be commended for
choosing competence and conti-
nuity in nominating Petraeus
and Panetta to newposts.
I have valued working with
both of these leaders, he said.
Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.), the
Democratic chairman of the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
said that while the country will
miss the service of [Defense] Sec-
retary [Robert M.] Gates, Leon
Panetta and General Petraeus are
first-rate public servants whose
reputations and records tran-
scend party, and I expect broad
approval and swift confirma-
tions.
Kerry said he also looked for-
ward to an early confirmation
hearing on Crockers nomina-
tion.
Obama, inthanking Gates, who
in addition to managing two wars
alsoidentifieddeepbudget cuts at
the Pentagon at the presidents
direction, said, Imconfident Bob
Gates will be remembered as one
of the finest Defense secretaries in
American history.
He said he was equally confi-
dent that Panetta, the current
CIA director tapped to succeed
Gates, would carry on his prede-
cessors reformagenda.
Panetta is a former chairmanof
the House Budget Committee and
was director of the Office of Man-
agement and Budget during the
Clinton administration. He indi-
cated that part of his mission at
the Pentagon would be to trim
spending where necessary with-
out endangering national securi-
ty.
Today we are a nation at war,
and job one will be to ensure that
we remain the strongest military
power in the world, Panetta said.
Yet this is also a time for hard
choicechoices, hecontinued. Its
about ensuring that we are able to
prevail in the conflicts in which
we are now engaged. But its also
about being able to be strong and
disciplined in applying our na-
tions limited resources to defend-
ing America.
Petraeus, the current com-
mander of international forces in
Afghanistan, saidhe is leaving the
post with a sense of guarded
optimism about the trajectory of
the mission.
Obama will begin bringing
home U.S. forces from Afghani-
stan this summer, and the debate
over how quickly to do so will
occupy the new national security
team.
Petraeus praised Obamas se-
lection of Allen, the Marine lieu-
tenant general who is currently
deputy chief of the Central Com-
mand, and Crocker, whom he
worked with as commander in
Iraq during the 2007 surge that
helped change the course of the
war.
Crocker will be replacing Karl
W. Eikenberry, the former general
who has often been at odds with
the military over Afghanistanpol-
icy, as ambassador to Kabul.
The challenges are formidable
and the stakes are high, Crocker,
who re-opened the U.S. Embassy
in Kabul after the 2001 invasion,
said of his newpost. 9/11 came to
us out of Afghanistan. Our enemy
must never againhavethat oppor-
tunity.

Documents offer hints of U.S. legal strategy in WikiLeaks investigation
BY ELLEN NAKASHIMA
AND JERRY MARKON
Federal prosecutors investi-
gating how the anti-secrecy Web
site WikiLeaks obtained large
amounts of classified data are
exploring potential criminal con-
spiracy charges under statutes
that outlaw the theft of govern-
ment property and unauthorized
access to a computer as well as
charges under the Espionage Act,
according to a legal document.
Although it is unclear whether
charges will be filed, an April 21
letter signed by Neil MacBride,
the U.S. attorney for the Eastern
District of Virginia, appears to
offer the first official glimpse of
the governments thinking in a
high-profile investigation into
how WikiLeaks and its founder,
Julian Assange, obtained sensi-
tive material that it has posted on
its site.
The letter accompanied a sub-
poena delivered this week to an
individual in Boston one of a
number of people whom investi-
gators have pressed or tried to
press for information on
WikiLeaks and who have been
served with subpoenas this week.
A copy of the subpoena was pro-
vided to The Washington Post
with the name redacted.
Though the letter does not
name WikiLeaks or Assange,
sources said the subpoena was
issued in relation to the probe.
The letter makes clear that an
array of charges are being consid-
ered, inpart, experts said, toavoid
First Amendment challenges that
would arise with a prosecution of
WikiLeaks under the Espionage
Act. That 1917lawmakes it acrime
to communicate or transmit
sensitive information to an unau-
thorized party, and using it would
probably set up a battle over an
individuals right to speak freely.
If the Justice Department con-
cludes that a crime has been com-
mitted, it will twist itself like a
pretzel to avoid using the Espio-
nage Act, not only because it is old
and vague but because it raises a
number of First Amendment
problems for prosecutors, said
Abbe D. Lowell, a Washington
defense lawyer who has handled
leak cases.
U.S. officials would not com-
ment on any subpoenas but indi-
cated that prosecutors are likely
to carefully weigh any decision to
file charges under the Espionage
Act, in part because of First
Amendment concerns.
The Justice Department has
decided to attack on many fronts
at once, said Assange, in a phone
interview from London. One rea-
son, he alleged, is because it is

Shuttle packs $2 billion physics experiment
SPACE STATION
INSTALLATION
Device to sift for
high-energy particles
BY BRIAN VASTAG
Big science is finally headed to
the international space station.
As the space shuttle Endeavour
stands ready for its 25th and final
flight, scheduled to begin Friday
afternoon, the spotlight shines on
commander Mark E. Kelly and his
wife, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-
Ariz.).
Giffords arrived in Florida on
Wednesday to observe the launch,
her first trip away from the Hous-
ton rehabilitation hospital where
she is being treated for injuries
suffered in a shooting at a public
event inTucsoninJanuary.
President Obama also plans to
watch the launch with his family
after touring the storm-stricken
South.
But to scientists, the real star is
tucked away in Endeavours cargo
bay: A$2billion, seven-toncosmic
experiment about 17 years in the
making.
The brainchild of Nobel Prize-
winning physicist Samuel C.C.
Ting, the experiment will sniff
space for cosmic rays, antimatter,
dark matter and other exotic and
poorly understoodphenomena.
If the mission goes as planned,
the device will deliver marquee
science tothe space station, which
has hadits sciencemissionrepeat-
edly trimmed since the $100 bil-
lion orbiting outpost was pro-
posed in the 1980s. Although the
station boasts three laboratory
modules, maintenance duties pre-
clude each of the stations six as-
tronauts from spending more
than an hour a day on science
experiments, according to a 2009
report from the Government Ac-
countability Office.
I think the AMS will be a great
uplift for American particle phys-
ics, said Ulrich Becker, Tings col-
league at the Massachusetts Insti-
tuteof Technology. Beckerisoneof
600 physicists involved in the ex-
periment, called the alpha mag-
netic spectrometer, or AMS.
But not every physicist is happy
about theAMS. Avocal contingent
complains that Ting circumvent-
ed the usual scientific review pro-
cesses at NASA and the Depart-
ment of Energy. They also say the
expensive experiment will offer
limitedinformation.
This kind of science is not
worth billions of dollars, said
Gregory Tarle, an experimental
physicist at the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor. In some
physicist circles, Tarle said, peo-
ple are shaking their heads that
Sam could do this. He did it by
bullying his way through.
Ting, in a phone interview,
steered clear of the controversy,
saying that it is very hard to pre-
dict what exotic phenomena the
device might find.
The Energy Department says it
contributed $50 million to the ex-
periment, andNASAwill spendan
additional $104 million through
2020, not includingthe expense of
the shuttle flight. Fifteen other
countries picked up the rest of the
tab.
The 2003 destruction of the
shuttle Columbia pushedNASAto
cancel the experiments launch.
Only a prolonged lobbying cam-
paign by the famously strong-
willed Ting returned the device to
NASAs launch manifest. In 2008,
Congress passed a law forcing
NASA to extend the shuttle pro-
gramandfly the experiment.
Then, last year, Ting ordered a
redesign of the AMS, delaying its
scheduled November launch. Con-
cerned that liquid helium needed
to supercool the devices central
magnet would boil off into space,
Ting swapped in an older, weaker
magnet that needsnosuchcooling.
The experiment is now rated to
function until at least 2020, the
space stations scheduled destruc-
tion date. But the weaker magnet
made the experiment less sensi-
tive, and so Ting led other major
modifications to the devices sensi-
tive particle detectors.
The redesign delayed the
launchby several months, andthe
Giffords shooting prompted spec-
ulation that Kelly would give up
the commanders chair and force
NASA to choose a backup. In Feb-
ruary, though, Kelly said he would
fly the mission.
If Endeavour launches Friday
as planned, onMondayastronauts
will usetheshuttlesroboticarmto
pluck the ring-shaped detector
from the crafts cargo bay. In a
delicate three- to four-hour ma-
neuver involving four astronauts
on the shuttle and the station, the
shuttles robotic armwill handthe
AMS to the stations robotic arm,
which will then perch the device
atopa space-stationtruss.
There, the experiment will si-
lently sift space for high-energy
particles that Ting and his sup-
porters say will provide clues
about some of the universes deep-
est mysteries.
Chief among them: What hap-
pened to the antimatter that pre-
vailing theories say the big bang
was supposed to create. The big-
bang theory of cosmic creation
sketches an explosion that was
supposedto create equal amounts
of matter and its strange twin,
antimatter. But noevidenceof this
primordial antimatter has been
detected. So Ting designed the
AMS to find antimatter from dis-
tant, theoretical anti-stars and
anti-galaxies.
As thesetheoretical particles fly
through the detectors magnet,
their paths will bend in the oppo-
site directionof normal matter.
However, many physicists say
that other experiments have ruled
out the existence of exotic anti-
matter stars or galaxies. I doubt
its going to see any fundamental
antimatter, said Lawrence M.
Krauss, an experimental physicist
at Arizona State University.
Krauss and others are more
hopeful that the experiment will
catch a whiff of another elusive
substance: dark matter. The fun-
damental nature of this weird
stuff is unknown, althoughexperi-
ments have shown that it makes
up about 23 percent of the mass of
the universe. Without it, the Milky
Way would fly apart. Theoretical
collisions of dark matter should
produce positrons the inverted,
positively charged twins of elec-
trons. The AMS is designed to
sense suchparticles.
Twoindependent teamswill sift
the AMS data for signals of anti-
matter and positrons. If we make
a mistake, it will feed critics for a
very long time, Ting said.

Missteps, funding cuts delay aid projects in Afghanistan
struction projects the interim
efforts will not be as robust as the
delayed initiative, according to
development specialists familiar
with the issue.
With regard to the agriculture
program aimed at creating
more farm-related jobs USAID
is consideringwhether toextenda
costly project that some of the
agencys senior leaders deeminef-
fective and wasteful inanattempt
to mollify the military until a new
assistance programis implement-
ed. The new program was sup-
posed to have started six months
ago.
U.S. commanders and diplo-
mats had hoped that the newpro-
grams would assist in cementing
recent military gains against the
Taliban, which have come at a
significant cost of American lives.
They believe that if Afghans have
expanded access to jobs and can
rely on local governments for ba-
sic services, many will renounce
the insurgency.
This report is based on inter-
views with more than a dozen
civilian and military officials in-
volved in Afghanistan policy. All
insisted on anonymity, but for dif-
ferent reasons: USAIDstaff mem-
bers critical of the agencys opera-
tions said they feared retribution
if they were quotedby name; mili-
tary officials said they were con-
cerned about angering their civil-
ian counterparts; and USAIDoffi-
cials authorized to speak for the
agency said they were unable to
answer most questions on the re-
cord.
A development specialist who
recently completedayear-longas-
signment at USAIDs mission in
Kabul blamedthe delays ona staff
turnover rate of more than 85
percent a year, shifting priorities
amongsenior officials responsible
for setting policy, and an ongoing
conflict within the agency be-
tween short-term programs and
afghanistan from A1
longer-range development work.
Theres been a failure of plan-
ning and management, the spe-
cialist said.
USAIDs problems have been
compounded by months of bud-
getary uncertainty, followed by
steep cuts to foreign aid in the
2011 spending bill that were de-
manded by House Republicans.
Theagencyalsoisawaitingmoney
from the 2010 budget because
congressional requirements call
for Secretary of State Hillary Rod-
ham Clinton to certify that the
Afghan government is making
progress on womens rights and
fighting corruption before those
funds can be released.
Although USAID officials said
they do not know how much they
will have to trim from their Af-
ghanistan initiatives, some pro-
grams have already taken a hit
because of the agencys preemp-
tivebudget-cutting. Thejob-train-
ing program, for instance, was
once envisioned as a $125 million
project over 18 months; it has
been scaled back to between
$25 million and $40 million.
The delays have heightened
tensions betweenU.S. civilianand
military officials in Afghanistan,
prompting some senior officers to
employ their own resources for
development projects.
Top military commanders re-
cently dispatched a contingent of
U.S. troops to augment State De-
partment and USAID personnel
in the provincial reconstruction
team office in Kandahar. And the
commanders have requestedmili-
tary agribusiness development
teams, composed of National
Guardpersonnel whoarefarmers,
because they feel there are not
enough civilian agriculture ex-
perts fromthe U.S. government in
southern Afghanistan.
The civilians had promised
they would do certain things, and
we expected them to follow
through, the senior officer said.
Now weve realized that we cant
depend on them, so we have to do
it on our own.
It was seriously flawed
USAIDs agriculture problems
in the south began with money.
Too much of it.
In 2009, the agency issued a
$300 million grant to Arlington-
based International Relief and
Development (IRD) to help farm-
ers in two southern provinces
Kandahar and Helmand im-
prove productivity over just one
year. The agency initially did not
want to spend so much in such a
small area so quickly, but it was
told to do so by Richard C. Hol-
brooke, who had been President
Obamas special envoy toAfghani-
stan and Pakistan until his death
in December.
The programs goal was to in-
crease employment opportunities
by rehabilitating farms in both
provinces. That was to be accom-
plished by paying for day-labor
jobs to clean canals so more water
could get to crops, offering subsi-
dized seeds so farmers would be
encouraged to switch from grow-
ing opium-producing poppies,
distributing tractors and other
equipment, and constructing a
network of gravel roads so grow-
ers could take their goods to mar-
ket.
Because many parts of the two
provinces were too unsafe at the
time for civilian reconstruction
workers, IRD concentrated its ac-
tivities on a fewdistricts, flooding
them with cash and supplies.
Some American officials and de-
velopment specialists would later
conclude that the influx distorted
local economies and created an
unhealthy dependence on U.S.
handouts.
In Kandahar province, farmers
were given far more seed than
they needed, according to aneval-
uation conducted by an agricul-
tural adviser working on the proj-
ect. Instead of distributing one
package of seeds and fertilizer per
farmer, those who could be found
ended up walking away with six
packages, perhaps more than any
one individual couldpossibly con-
template planting, the report
stated. The result was that farm-
ers took tons of seed and scores of
free tractors to neighboring Paki-
stan and sold them for cash, ac-
cording to officials involved with
the program.
Trying to spend $300 million
in one year was not realistic, said
WilliamSlocum, asenior program
officer at IRD.
IRDs approach also riled Af-
ghan officials. Local leaders halt-
edaplantohandout thousands of
water pumps inHelmandbecause
of concerns that the pumps would
suck irrigation canals dry, starv-
ing farmers downstream. Those
pumps are now sitting in ware-
houses, gathering dust.
In Kandahar, a program to pay
thousands of mentoprune50,000
acres of orchards in an effort to
increase the amount of fruit
grownonthetrees has beenmet
with derision from the governor.
In my childhood, everyone was
cleaning the canals. They were
pruning their trees. Nobody was
paying them, said Kandahar Gov.
Tooryalai Wesa, who holds a doc-
torate in agricultural economics.
IRDis killing the culture here.
Slocum and other IRD officials
insist their program has been ef-
fective, noting that they have pro-
vided 5.4 million days of labor to
unemployed men. They said their
distribution of subsidized seeds
has generated an estimated
$200millioninadditional income
for farmers across thesouth. This
is the beginning of something re-
ally exciting, Slocumsaid.
But withinUSAID, despite pub-
lic pronouncements of success, re-
ports of overspending and poor
oversight fueled deep concern
about the program. It was seri-
ously flawed, a senior U.S. official
said.
Although the program could
have been extended, USAID de-
cided against it. Instead, it asked
interested development contrac-
tors last May to submit proposals
for a follow-on project, valued at
$350 million, with the goal of
having it operational by October,
whenIRDs one year hadfinished.
To maintain impartiality in the
contractingprocess, proposalsare
evaluated by a separate team of
development specialists at
USAID. According to a senior U.S.
official familiar with the matter,
the team was set to award the
follow-on project to IRD. When
senior agency staff members
learned of the decision, they de-
cided to cancel the project rather
than give it to IRD, the official
said.
USAIDthen set out to redesign
the program, hoping that another
firm would win it. But the agency
has not yet awarded a contract for
the new program. In the interim,
it has given IRD three quarterly
extensions on the existing pro-
gram, the last of which is set to
expire June 30.
Were taking important les-
sons learnedfromthefirst genera-
tion of stabilization programs
what aspects have worked well
andwhat didnt deliver the results
wed hoped for and using that
information to tailor future pro-
gramming that will both meet the
near-term goals of the military
effort and also sustainably under-
pin longer-term stability in Af-
ghanistan, saidGast, theagencys
director in Afghanistan.
USAID had been reluctant to
give IRD another extension, rea-
soning that a gap in agriculture
assistance would be less bad than
continuing a program it knew to
be problematic. Several agency of-
ficials alsobelievethat thecurrent
programs emphasis on day-labor
projects is unsustainable and
needs to end.
But the military has a different
take on day labor. It regards cash-
for-work as a critical component
of U.S. counterinsurgency opera-
tions, allowing the Americans to
lure disaffected, unemployed
young men away from Taliban
recruiters. And when it became
clear to commanders that there
would be a gap between the pro-
grams, they howled.
The military thinks the conse-
quences of killing it far outweigh
keeping it alive, the senior U.S.
official said of the current agricul-
ture program. AID sees it the
other way. . . . It doesnt see its
activities as key elements of a
military campaign plan. It sees
them as contractual agreements.
The military implications arent
the top priority.
After pressure from the mili-
tary and inquires fromThe Wash-
ington Post, USAID told military
commanders last week that it will
ensure there is no stoppage of
agriculture assistance.
AIDfeels bullied into this, the
senior official said. It feels power-
less to say no to the military.
IRDofficials said they have not
been told that their program will
be extended. So they have started
to lay off staff members and shut
down activities in Helmand and
will begin doing the same in Kan-
dahar over the next few weeks.
Restarting operations, Slocum
said, could take six to eight weeks.
Communication gaps
In the case of its program to
bolster local governments,
USAIDs problem stems from a
failure to communicate.
The agency designed a
$140 million initiative last year to
help stabilize areas inthe southin
the wake of military operations to
clear out insurgents. The newpro-
gram, which was supposed to be-
gin this spring, was aimed in part
at coordinating what have been
disparate and overlapping efforts
to train local officials and fund
small reconstruction projects. In
one part of Kandahar city, USAID
recently discovered that it had
several contractors doing the
same thing, one senior agency
official said.
In November, USAID released
anoutlineof thenewprogramand
solicited bids from contractors. It
publicly identified the Afghan
Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation
and Development as its partner
for the program.
But it was only after the release
of that outline that USAID pre-
sentedtheprogramtosenior lead-
ers at the ministry to ask for a
single person to participate on a
teamevaluating bids.
The Afghans balked, saying
that they had not been consulted
in a substantive way during the
design of the program, despite
repeateddeclarations fromsenior
U.S. officials that they want to
work in partnership with the Af-
ghan government. Fearful of an
angry reaction from President
Hamid Karzai, USAID withdrew
the solicitation and spent weeks
working with the ministry to re-
vise the program.
This delay was 100 percent
preventable, said the develop-
ment specialist, who recently left
USAID. They could have reached
out and worked with the ministry
much, much earlier.
The do-over will postpone the
start of the program by at least
four months, according to agency
documents. Although USAIDoffi-
cials insist they will be able to
expand other projects to fill the
gapbetweenthe newstabilization
program and an existing local-
government program, which is in
the process of shutting down, de-
velopment specialists said the
lack of a seamless transition be-
tween the two initiatives could
lead critical Afghan staff mem-
bers to quit, taking with them
valuable institutional knowledge.
If youre looking at this in
terms of counterinsurgency, and
trying to partner and plan with
the military, the civilians arent
doing their jobs properly, the spe-
cialist said.

After Giffords shooting, a new security climate for lawmakers
ment agencies protecting them
back home not to take chanc-
es.
For Southerland, that meant
not only stationing officers at the
firehouse but also arming his
staff with concealed weapons.
We believe thats just smart,
Southerland said in an interview,
adding that he obtained permits
for his staff to carry handguns.
Several of his Florida aides now
come to work armed. When
youre mixing politics and emo-
tion on both sides, it would be
irresponsible for us not to take
necessary precautions, he said.
Since the Tucson shootings,
U.S. Capitol Police have urged
members of Congress to be more
vigilant. Lawmakers aides now
coordinate public activities in
home districts with local law
enforcement authorities. There
are new protocols for reporting
death threats, strange phone
calls and suspicious Facebook
postings.
And the Secret Service is plan-
ning seminars for lawmakers
and their staffs on how to assess
the security of venues to mini-
mize risk at gatherings.
There is cause for the concern.
Between October and March, 53
serious threats against members
of Congress were reported, a 13
percent increase from the same
six-month period a year earlier,
law enforcement authorities
said. At the same time, the
number of non-criminal cases
(such as alarming but not specifi-
cally threatening e-mails or
phone calls) jumped by 18 per-
cent, to 1,211.
Unlike a year ago when it was
all health care, these threats run
the social-economic gamut:
health, pay benefits, veterans
issues, Medicare, said Senate
Sergeant at Arms Terrance W.
Gainer, a member of the Capitol
Police Board.
Gainer said federal and local
prosecutors have filed more
charges this year against sus-
pected perpetrators than in pre-
vious years, although he did not
have a specific number. He said
one reason for the uptick could
be that staffs are reporting inci-
dents with more regularity.
Im not trying to paint the
picture that the sky is falling,
Gainer said. But were in some
unique times, and theres still
some unstable folks out there.
Over the past two weeks, law-
makers have dashed across their
districts convening public meet-
ings. In a handful of instances,
angry voters have asked House
Republicans hostile questions
about their support for a 2012
budget plan that would dramati-
cally change Medicare and other
government entitlement pro-
grams for the poor and elderly.
In Orlando on Tuesday, fresh-
man Rep. Daniel Websters town
hall meeting degenerated into
bedlam, according to the Orlan-
do Sentinel. Webster (R) was
repeatedly interrupted, and a
police officer scolded the audi-
ence to act like grown people.
In Fort Lauderdale, police re-
portedly removed two hecklers
from a town hall held by Rep.
Allen B. West (R).
And in Kenosha, Wis., Rep.
Paul Ryan, the architect of the
GOP budget, was escorted by
police out a back door and in a
separate car to dodge protesters
who had gathered around his
vehicle during his town hall
meeting. Ryan told TMJ4, a Mil-
waukee television station, that
loud hecklers had alarmed po-
lice but that it should not be
blown out of proportion.
The Democratic Party and lib-
eral groups helped organize
some of the protests. The scenes
were reminiscent of the town
hall furor targeting many Demo-
crats in summer 2009 during the
health-care debate, although the
incidents seem to be far fewer
and tamer than before.
The Capitol Police have statu-
tory authority to protect mem-
bers of Congress anywhere in the
nation. Chief Phillip Moore
would not discuss specific secu-
rity measures but said, We often
request the support of our local,
state and federal law enforce-
ment partners as needed.
Last month in Virginia, when
members of the 2nd Tuesday
Constitution Group appeared at
GOP freshman Rep. H. Morgan
Griffiths Christiansburg, Va., of-
security from A1 fice to stage a protest, the local
police chief was waiting for
them. He asked the activists to
fill out an appilication, and they
did so without incident.
But afterward, some angry
protesters wondered why the
congressmans office had called
the police on them.
The answer: because thats
what congressional offices have
been told to do since the Giffords
shooting.
In some places, securing a
congressional event required ev-
ery police officer on duty. That
was the case Monday night in the
windsurfing resort town of Hood
River, Ore. As Sen. Ron Wyden
(D) held a town hall meeting, two
Hood River police officers were
present.
That was everybody, Chief
Bruce Ludwig said. One of the
officers was a volunteer reserv-
ist. If an emergency had occurred
elsewhere in town, Ludwig said,
they might have had to leave.
Lawenforcement officials said
the Giffords shooting altered
how they prepared for such
events in the same fashion that
the Columbine High School
shootings changed how they re-
spond to reports of trouble at
schools.
Youre always exposed when
youre in public, Joel E. Norred,
second in command at the
Franklin County Sheriff s De-
partment, said as he prepared for
Southerlands visit. We realize
that security is not 100 percent in
any situation. You can never
guarantee a secure situation. The
only thing that security does is it
minimizes the risk.
At the firehouse, Southerland
had a testy exchange over the
budget with a man seated in the
back row. An undercover officer
hovered about two feet over the
mans shoulder, his eyes trained
on his hands, but the clash did
not escalate beyond words.
For the officers standing along
the back wall, there wasnt any
more excitement. After an hour
and 40 minutes, Southerland
said goodbye. And he warned a
few people to be vigilant. The
road home would be dark, he
said, so watch out for deer.

Bomb hits navy bus
in 3rd attack of week
A roadside bomb struck a bus
taking Pakistani navy employees
to work in Karachi on Thursday
morning, killing four sailors and
apasserby inthe thirdsuchattack
this week and just days after the
army chief claimed to have great-
ly weakened militants.
Within hours, the Pakistani
Taliban asserted responsibility
for the latest Karachi explosion.
The string of attacks in the
countrys largest city and eco-
nomic heart expose the determi-
nation and reach of al-Qaeda-
linked extremist networks de-
spite U.S.-backed Pakistani army
offensives against their main bas-
es in the northwest.
Last Saturday, the Pakistani
army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Kayani,
told graduating cadets that their
force had broken the backbone
of the militants. The comment
followed U.S. criticism of the
army campaign, which has strug-
gled to hold border areas it has
retaken fromthe insurgents.
Taliban spokesman Ahsanul-
lah Ahsan said the bombing tar-
geted Pakistans navy because it is
part of the Pakistani army.

Renegade warlord
dies fighting ex-ally
Ivory Coasts president ex-
pressed his condolences Thurs-
day over the death of renegade
warlord IbrahimIB Coulibaly, a
two-time coup plotter who had
participated in pro-democracy
advocates battle for Abidjan and
was killed during fighting against
former allies.
A commander for Defense
Minister Guillaume Soro said
Coulibaly, 47, appeared to have
killed himself rather than surren-
der when Soros troops seized
Coulibalys stronghold in the Abi-
djan neighborhood of Abobo late
Wednesday. Soro and Coulibaly
had a years-old feud.
Coulibalys top aide, Felix Ano-
ble, denied the assertion of sui-
cide, saying the former warlord
was killed after his troops were
attacked while waiting for U.N.
peacekeepers to arrive and dis-
arm them. He said Coulibaly was
beaten and then shot by the at-
tackers.
President Alassane Ouattara
said Coulibalys death was re-
grettable. The rivalry between
Soro and Coulibaly was the big-
gest challenge to confront Ouat-
taras fledgling government since
Laurent Gbagbo, the former pres-
ident, was arrested April 11 after a
four-month standoff.

leaving, saying he is prepared for
a summit meeting with the South
Korean president at any time.
Carter also criticized SouthKo-

toward the North, saying that to
withhold aid because of political
or military issues is indeed a

DIGEST
NEPAL
BY ANDREW HIGGINS
IN FOSHAN, CHINA
C
hinas only legal trade
union organization, a
tool of Communist Party
control long scorned by
workers as a shill for big
business, is experimenting with a
novel idea: speaking up for labor.
We have to win back the trust
of workers, said Kong Xiang-
hong, asenior tradeunionofficial.
Only if we truly represent work-
ers will the workers not reject us.
Kong, deputy director of the
Guangdong province branch of
the All-China Federation of Trade
Unions, has firsthand experience
of the perils of rejection. When
workers at a Honda car-parts
plant in Foshan went on strike
last summer, the party-controlled
ACFTUplayed no role in the stop-
page which set off a rash of
labor unrest and didnt even
knowit was coming.
Kong rushed to Foshan from
nearby Guangzhou, the provin-
cial capital, to figure out what was
going on. Getting 1,850 Honda
workers back to work took nearly
two weeks of testy talks, scuffles
and a hefty pay raise.
More critical, though, has been
Kongs mission since. He is trying
to convince workers that unlike
their restive brethren in Poland
before the collapse of commu-
nismor in Egypt before the fall of
President Hosni Mubarak, they
can rely on a labor organization
beholden to the ruling party to
champion their rights.
We realized the danger of our
union being divorced from the
masses, said Kong, a veteran
Communist Party member.
The shift in thinking helps ex-
plain why China, though prone to
thuggish outbursts by a vast secu-
rity apparatus, has avoided the
turmoil afflicting brutal Arab au-
tocracies: Chinas systemis rigidly
intolerant of political dissent but
often supple and responsive on
economic matters.
After helping to secure a 24
percent pay increase for Honda
workers in Foshan as part of last
years strike settlement, Kong
took part last month in wage
negotiations that got them a fur-
ther raise of about 30 percent.
Shuttling between Guangzhou
and Foshan, he has led a drive to
reinvigorate the Honda plants
previously passive official union
and pressed management on a
host of issues, including the quali-
ty of food in the canteen and
complaints of allergic reactions to
certain chemicals.
Takayuki Fujii, aspokesmanfor
Honda in Beijing, said that the
Foshan plant always offered good
conditions but that improve-
ments had been accelerated
since the strike.
Lobbying on behalf of workers
marks a departure for a labor
organization that, though nomi-
nally committed to socialism, has
generally focused on keeping
workers in line and ensuring that
the main motor of Chinas eco-
nomic rise a steady supply of
cheap, docile labor keeps turn-
ing.
The party hasnt softened its
view that workers, along with all
others, must never disrupt sta-
bility. Indeed, in recent months,
it has hardened its hostility to
eventhefaintest flickeringof pub-
lic defiance.
But the very success of Chinas
economic model has meant that
workers, particularly migrants
from once-impoverished inland
regions, nowhave far more choice
over where they work andfor how
much. This newgeneration, Kong
said, is not afraid to make de-
mands.
Last week, truck drivers, most
of them migrants, clashed with
police near Shanghais container
port, the worlds busiest, during a
wildcat strike over rising fuel and
other costs. The truckers returned
to work this week after authori-
ties promised to cut various fees.
The party-controlled trade union
network was again reduced to the
role of spectator.
Han Dongfang, a Chinese labor
activist who went to jail after the
Tiananmen Square massacre in
1989 for setting up a now-dis-
banded independent trade union
in Beijing, says leaders of the
official labor organization, at least
in prosperous coastal areas, now
understand that they have to try
their best to work in the direction
of representing workers.
Trade unions independent of
party control are still a non-start-
er, but labor organizations must
at least be independent from
bosses, said Han, who now lives
in Hong Kong, where he heads
China Labor Bulletin, a group
that lobbies on behalf of Chinese
workers. It wasnt directly in-
volved in the Honda strike but
backed its demands.
The official labor organiza-
tions willingness to speak up for
workers has been accompanied
by a broader push by authorities
in Guangdong, an incubator for
many of Chinas boldest reforms,
to curb the raw exploitation that
marred, but also fueled, the coun-
trys initial economic takeoff.
The Guangdong provincial
government, worried about labor
shortages as migrants find work
closer to home, last month raised
the minimum wage in cities such
as Foshan by nearly 20 percent.
This covers all companies, not just
foreign-owned multinationals.
Authorities also calculate that
paying more attention to the in-
terests of labor will deter workers
from taking matters into their
ownhands, as they didlast year in
Foshan at the Honda facility. The
two migrant workers who orga-
nized the strike shunned the offi-
cial union.
Mary Gallagher, an expert on
Chinese labor at the University of
Michigan, described Chinas
strategy as helping workers so as
not to empower workers.
Higher wages andbetter condi-
tions aim to ensure that they
wont ask for independent
unions. The Communist Party,
she added, came to power in 1949
inpart throughits ability tomobi-
lizelabor, soit is well awareof the
threat posed by labor activism it
doesnt control. Turmoil in the
Middle East, where corrupt, state-
controlled trade unions lost con-
trol of workers, has served as
another reminder of how danger-
ous ignoring labor grievances can
be.
China, Kong said, cannot be
comparedto Egypt. But he added
that we need to absorb the les-
sons of uprisings inArabnations.
When talks to end the Honda
strike stalled last summer, his
union showed little sympathy for
workers and joined with the local
labor bureau to try to force them
back to work. Fighting broke out
as officials tried to videotape
strikers and screamed at them
through bullhorns. Kong said the
strikers had already secured a pay
raise and should have returned to
work, but he conceded that the
clashes had only alienated work-
ers and didnt help resolve the
dispute.
In recent months, Kong has
worked to repair the damage by
beefing up the ACFTUs presence
in the factory and making it more
responsive to workers concerns.
But Honda workers still ha-
vent secured their principal de-
mand, aside from more money:
the right to choose who heads the
factory union branch. Still in
charge is a Honda manager who
makes 10 times the amount
earned by the workers he is sup-
posed to represent. He takes in-
structions not from workers but
from the local branch of the ACF-
TU, which operates out of a gov-
ernment office.
Han, the former Beijing labor
activist who is nowinHong Kong,
denounced the failure to change
Hondas union chief. He should
be swept out, Han said.
Howmuchheadway the official
union has made in regaining
workers trust is difficult togauge.
Honda, supported by the ACFTU,
bars employees from talking to
the media without permission,
which it declined to grant.
Workers who agreed to talk, on
the condition of anonymity for
fear of retribution, gave mixed
reviews. One dismissed the union
federation as a tour agency that
does little but arrange company
excursions. Another said it still
just relays management deci-
sions. But others said they now
have a little more faith that it will
stand up for them.
Before the strike, I did not
know much about the union and
didnt think it would help us
much, said one, speaking in a
company-provided dormitory
above a shopping center. Now I
think it can give us some help.

TURMOIL IN THE MIDDLE EAST
BY YOUSSEF BOUDLAL
marrakesh, morocco A
bomb killed 15 people, including
10 foreigners, in Moroccos bus-
tling tourist destination of Mar-
rakesh, state television said
Thursday, in an attack that bore
thehallmarkof Islamist militants.
The blast ripped through a cafe
overlooking Marrakeshs Jamaa
el-Fnaa square, a spot that is often
packed with foreign tourists.
State-run 2M television said
the 15 dead comprised six French
nationals, five Moroccans and
four foreigners whose nationality
it did not give. At least 20 people
were injured.
Analysis of the early evidence
collected at the site of the blast
that occurred on Thursday at a
cafe in Marrakesh confirms the
theory of an attack, the Interior
Ministry said in a statement car-
ried by the official MAP news
Bomb blast kills 15, injures 20
in tourismdistrict in Morocco
agency.
Two Marrakesh residents who
were near the square said the
attackwas carriedout by a suicide
bomber, but therewas noimmedi-
ate assertion of responsibility.
If confirmed as the work of
Islamist militants, the attack
would be the first such major
attack in Morocco since 2003,
when suicide bombings in the
commercial capital, Casablanca,
killed more than 45 people.
Moroccos ruler, King Moham-
med VI, has promised to reform
the constitution to placate pro-
testers who have been inspired by
uprisings in other parts of the
Arab world. But a fresh round of
protests is planned for Sunday.
The latest blast is likely to hurt
Moroccos lucrative tourism
trade, already struggling to recov-
er from the effects of the global
downturn.

A military court in Bahrain
sentenced four Shiite protesters
to death after convicting them
Thursday of killing two police-
men during anti-government
demonstrations last month, state
media said.
Three other Shiite activists,
who were also on trial, were sen-
tenced to life inprisonafter being
convicted of playing a role in the
policemens deaths.
The verdicts, which can be ap-
pealed, were the first related to
the uprising inBahrain. The king-
doms Shiite majority has long
complained of discrimination
and is campaigning for greater
freedoms and equal rights in the
tiny, Sunni-ruled island nation,
4 Shiite protesters sentenced
to death by court in Bahrain
which is home to the U.S. Navys
5th Fleet.
Bahraini human rights groups
denounced the verdicts and said
the trial, conducted in secrecy,
had no legal credibility and was
politically motivated.
Its a warning saying, This is
how we will treat you if you
continue to demand your
rights, said Nabeel Rajab, head
of the Bahrain Center for Human
Rights.
Bahrains king declared mar-
tial law and invited troops from
Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-
ruled Persian Gulf countries to
help quell Shiite dissent after
weeks of street marches and
bloody clashes in the capital, Ma-
nama. At least 30 people have
died since protests began Feb. 15.

Egypt reasserting
its role as regional
power broker
BY MICHAEL BIRNBAUM
cairo Even as debates rage
within Egypt about how best to
nurture a fledgling democracy,
one issue is settled: Outside its
borders, the country is deter-
mined to resume its place as an
independent power broker, with
consequences that the United
States might not always like.
Already, the country is reexam-
ining its natural gas contracts
with Israel, which some see as a
precursor to a broader reckoning
over the decades-long truce be-
tween the two nations. Egypts
Foreign Ministry gave the crucial
push to Fatah and Hamas leaders
in the Palestinian territories to
reach the unity agreement an-
nounced in Cairo on Wednesday
after years of stalemate.
And in the biggest sign yet of
burgeoning independence, diplo-
mats are signaling that they will
expand ties with Iran an un-
imaginable step during the long,
U.S.-oriented tenure of former
president Hosni Mubarak.
Foreign policy is going to be
more pro-Egypt, said Nabil
Fahmy, dean of the School of Pub-
lic Affairs at the AmericanUniver-
sity in Cairo and a former ambas-
sador to the United States. This
strengthens Egypts position. If
were not engaging important
states in our region, we lose lever-
age.
The revolutionthat swept away
Mubaraks 30-year rule in favor of
democracy meant also a newly
accountable foreign policy, and
most Egyptians are skeptical both
of the United States and of the
1978 Camp David accords with
Israel, according to a Pew poll
releasedthis week.
The deal between Fatah and
Hamas is an immediate payoff for
Egypts new foreign policy, ana-
lysts said. Former Egyptianintelli-
gence director Omar Suleiman
had been trying to broker an
agreement for years, but he was
always hampered by the percep-
tion that Egypts sympathies were
with Israel, not with the Palestin-
ians. The official Egyptian ban on
the MuslimBrotherhood, the par-
ent organization of Hamas, did
not helpeither, the analysts said.
Now, the Muslim Brotherhood
can operate openly and is one of
the most powerful political orga-
nizations in the country. Freed
fromoldsuspicions of Egypts mo-
tivations, Foreign Minister Nabil
Elaraby was able to broker the
deal inless thantwo months.
Still, thenewopenness between
Egypt andIranis a striking depar-
ture for two governments that
have long disliked each other.
Egypt gave asylum to the shah of
Iran after the 1979 Iranian revolu-
tion, and he is buried in Cairos
al-Rifai Mosque. A main street in
Tehranis namedfor KhalidIslam-
bouli, one of Sadats assassins.
That enmity has been replaced
by cautious flirtation. Diplomats
and analysts in Cairo have said
they do not expect full relations to
resume immediately, but they
view an eventual exchange of am-
bassadors as inevitable.
Theres no question that the
foreign minister, both publicly
and privately, wanted to sound
like Egypt is open to this idea of
resuming relations with Iran, said
a Western diplomat in Cairo who
spokeontheconditionof anonym-
ity to candidly discuss private dip-
lomatic conversations.
For weeks, circumspect over-
tures have been taking place via
the state-owned media of each
country. Last week, Irans state-
run Press TV reported that an
ambassador to Egypt had been
named, then quickly retracted the
story. Elaraby, Egypts newforeign
minister, has said he wants to re-
set relations withIran.
AndtheSunni MuslimBrother-
hood, which has historically been
cautious about Shiite-ledIran, has
indicated it is open to a gradual
resumption of ties, playing down
sectarian divides and emphasiz-
ingpolitical interests. Youarenot
talking about a Shia country anda
Sunni country, said Mohammed
Shams, aBrotherhoodactivist and
student organizer. You are talk-
ing about two countries with mu-
tual interests.
Mona Makram-Ebeid, a found-
ingmember of theEgyptianCoun-
cil for ForeignAffairs andaformer
lawmaker, said the Mubarak gov-
ernment had maintained an an-
tagonistic stance toward Iran
mainlytotoethelineof America,
adding: This was not inour inter-
est whatsoever.
Elaraby has a new strategy,
Makram-Ebeid said. The objec-
tive is to restore Egypt to its previ-
ous place of leadership regionally
andinthe Arab world, she said.

Senators press Obama to take action against Syria
Letter calls for sanctions,
a break with al-Assad
in face of crackdown
BY JOBY WARRICK
AND LIZ SLY
The Obama administration
faced renewed pressure Thursday
to toughen its stance on Syria,
where pro-democracy activists re-
mained defiant ahead of planned
nationwide rallies to denounce
government brutality against
demonstrators.
Three key senators formally
called on the White House to
break publicly with Syrian Presi-
dent Bashar al-Assad and to im-
pose sanctions against members
of his government. The call for
tougher measures came as Euro-
peanUniondiplomats gatheredin
Paris to discuss similar steps
against the Assad regime.
In a letter to President Obama,
Sens. JohnMcCain(R-Ariz.), Lind-
sey O. Graham(R-S.C.) andJoseph
I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) demanded
tangible steps to pressure Assad,
whose security forces have killed
more than 400 people in the past
month, according to estimates by
human rights groups.
The escalating crackdown by
Bashar al-Assads regime against
the Syrian people has reached a
decisive point, the senators
warned. By following the path of
Moammar Gaddafi and deploying
military forces to crush peaceful
demonstrations, Assad and those
loyal tohimhave lost the legitima-
cy to remain in power in Syria.
Administration officials said
this week that they are consider-
ing new sanctions as part of a list
of possible measures to dissuade
Assad fromusing violence against
peaceful protesters. Syrian forces
are thought to have killed more
than 100 civilians in a series of
assaults on demonstrators last
Friday, while dispatching tanks to
the restive city of Daraa.
Syrian activists were bracing
for a key test of their movement.
Messages posted to a Facebook
page used by Syrian demonstra-
tors calledfor peopletoturnout in
large numbers across the country
after Friday prayers to protest the
recent killings in Daraa, which
remained under siege by the Syri-
an army for a fourth straight day.
At least 38people have beenkilled
there since Syrian tanks rolled
into the town on Monday, shoot-
ing indiscriminately and firing ar-
tillery, according to human rights
groups. Since then, water, electric-
ity and communications have
been cut off, and residents have
described bodies piling up in the
streets because citizens are too
afraid to retrieve them.
Syrias bannedMuslimBrother-
hoodalsocalledonSyrians totake
to the streets to demand freedom.
Do not let the regime besiege
your compatriots, said its decla-
ration, which was sent Thursday
to the Reuters news agency.
In the Damascus suburb of
Madaya, 87 people were detained
andtwowereshot deadafter secu-
rity forces swarmed into the area
shortlybeforedawnThursdayand
went house to house rounding
people up, according to Wissam
Tarif of the human rights group
Insan, which is monitoring the
Syrian unrest. Three people were
shot dead in the northern coastal
city of Latakia in a late-night pro-
test there, and there were also
reports that several tanks had
moved into the city, perhaps to
deter further protests Friday.
Friday will give us an indica-
tionof what is winning: Is it fear or
is it the desire for change and
freedom? he said, predicting that
there would be a significant turn-
out on the streets. There is an
element of fear, but everyone is
saying, We want togoout because
we dont want to lose this.
There were alsomore reports of
resignations among low-level
Baath Party members from sever-
al Damascus suburbs, as well as
fresh indications that at least
some soldiers in Daraa may have
defied orders to open fire on pro-
testers. Al-Jazeera aired an ama-
teur video showing what ap-
peared to be uniformed soldiers
injured by gunshots who were be-
ing tended by civilians, although
the contents or origin of the video
could not be verified.
Syria experts saidthey hadseen
no indications of serious splits
within the regime or the military,
whose key leaders are drawn ei-
ther from Assads family or his
minority Alawite sect.
In the EU meeting in Paris,
diplomats were expected to begin
debate Friday on possible sanc-
tions against members of Assads
regime as well as members of his
family, said a Western diplomat
briefed on the agenda. The sanc-
tions could include a freeze of
bankaccounts andabanontravel.

Libyan fighters battle for checkpoint
At least 10 civilians
are reported killed
in shelling in Misurata
BY LEILA FADEL
AND SIMON DENYER
benghazi, libya Libyan
fighters wrangled for control of a
checkpoint on the countrys west-
ern border with Tunisia, while
government forces attacked and
entered a remote town in the
southeastern desert Thursday in
another day of clashes across the
country.
Forces loyal to Libyan leader
Moammar Gaddafi also contin-
ued to shell the besieged western
city of Misurata, killing at least 10
civilians and wounding at least
30, a rebel spokesman said.
Rebel officials saidanapparent
NATO airstrike had also acciden-
tally killed at least 10 rebel fight-
ers near Misuratas port Wednes-
day, on the same swampy road
where NATO had destroyed a
convoy of government forces the
day before.
If it was NATO, it means our
boys are completely wrong to go
there, Mohamed Ali, a rebel
spokesman, said via Skype. They
were told not to go there by
commanders, and we accept re-
sponsibility for this mistake. No
one in Misurata is blaming NATO
for what happened.
A NATO spokesman told the
Associated Press the jets had
struck several combat vehicles
about 10 miles southeast of Misu-
ratas port Wednesday, targeting
anarea where they hadbrokenup
a large group of pro-Gaddafi forc-
es the day before.
NATO cannot independently
verify reports that these vehicles
were operated by opposition forc-
es, the spokesman said. We
deeply regret any loss of human
life, as our mission in Libya is to
protect civilians andcivilian-pop-
ulated areas against attack.
If the strike was by NATO
warplanes, it would mark the
third mistaken attack on rebel
fighters in opposition territory
since the airstrike campaign be-
gan several weeks ago.
Farther west, the border post
between the Libyan town of
Wezen and the Tunisian town of
Dehiba has changed hands sever-
al times since the conflict began
in February. Rebels had hoped to
consolidate control of the post
after seizing it last week, toopena
lifeline to towns and villages un-
der their control in Libyas west-
ern mountains, but they were
driven out Thursday.
Tunisias Foreign Ministry ex-
pressed its extreme indignation
to the Libyan government after
the fighting spilled into its terri-
tory. The rebels staged a counter-
attack, and fierce fighting was
reportedly continuing late Thurs-
day. A rebel spokesman in the
eastern city of Benghazi claimed
Friday morning that the rebel
fighters had recaptured the bor-
der post.
Libyan state television claimed
that Gaddafis troops had also
taken control of the town of Ku-
fra, in the southeastern desert,
and purified it of the armed
gangs, as the government calls
the rebels.
But rebels in Benghazi denied
that the town had fallen.
Gaddafis forces have been
shelling Kufra since this morn-
ing, and in the afternoon they
enteredthe town. But they are not
in full control. The battle is not
over, and the situation is unclear,
rebel spokesman Mohamed al-
Muntasser said.
In Misurata, Ali said that gov-
ernment troops stationed to the
east and south continued to rain
artillery and rocket fire on the
city. He said NATO planes could
be heard throughout the day and
were striking in and around Mis-
urata, adding that he hoped they
would locate the sources of the
shelling. There is some more
worktobe done tomake Misurata
safe, he said.
Rebel leaders have expressed
frustration that NATO was not
doing more to protect Misuratas
port, the citys lifeline, from at-
tacks by Gaddafis forces. Never-
theless, they acknowledge the city
would have been overrun by now
if it were not for the coalition.
Aiman Abu Shahma, a doctor
in Misurata, said shells landed
Thursday within a few hundred
yards of the clinic where he
works.
Every day he is shelling us
with rockets, but rockets cannot
occupy our city, he said, adding
that he was happy with NATO
and that he hoped the alliance
would carry out more airstrikes,
notably on Gaddafis Bab al-Aziz-
iyah compound in Tripoli.

Without FDA regulations, gluten-free can mean almost anything
which is commonly found in
bread, pasta and other staples
and even in some unexpected
products, such as soy sauce and
blue cheese.
Celiac disease, an autoimmune
disorder in which gluten damag-
es the lining of the small intes-
tine, afflicts about 3 million peo-
ple inthe UnitedStates. Exposure
to gluten can trigger problems
ranging from gastrointestinal
distress and infertility to an in-
creased risk of certain cancers.
And new research suggests
that an additional 17 million
Americans are gluten-sensitive,
which means that they, too, are
sickened by the protein and can
experience abdominal pain, fa-
tigue, headaches, foggy mind or
tingling extremities.
The treatment is straightfor-
ward: a lifelong commitment to a
gluten-free diet.
Should be a no-brainer
Under a 2004 law, Congress
gave the FDA until 2008 to estab-
lish a uniformdefinition for com-
panies that want to label their
products as gluten-free. But that
deadline has come and gone.
The FDA has spent years call-
ing upon experts to have open-fo-
rum debates, town hall meetings
weve been having reiteration
and reiteration, said Alessio Fa-
sano, medical director of the
Center for Celiac Research at the
University of Maryland School of
Medicine. Theyve been reiterat-
gluten from A1
ing and listening to Grandma,
Grandpa, people on the street
corners. . . . I really dont under-
stand why its lingering up in the
air when it really should be a
no-brainer.
In the meantime, Fasano said,
the prevalence of celiac disease in
this country is soaring partly
because changes in agricultural
practices have increased gluten
levels in crops. We are in the
midst of an epidemic, he said.
And that has caused an explo-
sion in gluten-free foods. The
market is projected to reach
$2.6 billion next year, up from
$100 million in 2003. Gluten-free
cereal, snacks and other foods
carry a premium price, creating
an alluring growth market for
food companies.
Some drugmakers are also pro-
ducing gluten-free coatings, fill-
ings and capsules for medication.
Gluten-free blogs and specialty
bakeries are sprouting like
wheat. And the gluten-free diet
has acquired a faddish lustre that
is undoubtedly helping drive
sales; stars including Gwyneth
Paltrow and Oprah Winfrey have
dabbled in life without gluten
and boasted how their detox
diets helped them feel better and
more energized.
But what exactly does gluten-
free mean?
Three years after the congres-
sional deadline, the FDA is still
working on that question, a
spokeswoman said.
The agency has said the issue is
complicated, requiring analyses
of various technical issues, in-
cluding how well manufacturers
and regulators can reliably test
for the presence of gluten and
whether oats are a source of
gluten. The agency held a public
meeting in 2005, inviting input
from millers, foodmakers, medi-
cal experts and others, and pub-
lished a proposed rule in 2007.
And then it continued to study
the matter.
Meanwhile, Canada, Brazil,
Australia and an international
body the Codex Alimentarius
Commission have all set label-
ing standards for gluten-free
items. In most cases, that stan-
dard is 20 parts per million: A
food can be labeled gluten-free if
it contains less than 0.0007 of an
ounce of gluten for every 2.2
pounds of food. That level was
chosen largely because its the
minimum amount of gluten that
can be reliably detected.
Gluten-free water?
With no uniform standard in
the UnitedStates, some foodmak-
ers scrupulously monitor prod-
ucts labeled gluten-free to ensure
that they have not come into
contact with wheat or other glu-
ten sources. They test their ingre-
dients, segregate equipment so
there is no chance for contamina-
tion and test the finished prod-
uct.
Others are less stringent. They
might fail to test their products or
might allow small amounts of
gluten but still label their foods
as gluten-free.
In some cases, manufacturers
affix the labels to items that dont
naturally contain gluten, such as
milk and bottled water.
Everyone is trying to get on
the bandwagon and get a piece of
this market, and consumers are
being misled, said Andrea Levar-
io, executive director of the
American Celiac Disease Alli-
ance. People see a gluten-free
sticker on bottled water and they
think, Does that mean I should
be concerned about other bottled
waters? Its very confusing.
In the absence of a federal
standard, two organizations have
formed to certify foods as gluten-
free for a fee from the manufac-
turer.
But for many consumers, its
buyer beware.
In North Carolina two weeks
ago, a man was sentenced to 11
years inprisonafter he was found
guilty of buying regular breads
and rolls and repackaging them
as gluten-free under the name
Great Specialty Products. Dozens
of people complained of illness
after eating the baked goods,
including a woman who gave
birth to a 3
1/2 pound baby prema-
turely, a complication that can
result from celiac disease.
We thought it was fantastic
because it tasted just like real
bread, said Rebecca Fernandez
of Raleigh, who gave it to her son,
Malachy, who has celiac disease.
Within days, an angry rash
covered the then-2-year-olds
body. We thought maybe it was
chickenpox, Fernandez said. He
ate the bread for two weeks, as
the rash intensified and turned
bloody, until Fernandez realized
the problem and stopped giving
him the bread. Malachy suffered
from diarrhea for four more
weeks.
I calledthe police because this
guy had basically poisoned my
son, Fernandez said. They said
it wasnt really their thing.
Her call to the FDAs Charlotte
office in December 2009 was not
returned, she said.
She finally contactedthe North
Carolina Department of Agricul-
ture, which regulates bakeries in
the state, and aninvestigationled
to the convictionof Great Special-
ty Products owner Paul Seelig, 48,
on 23 counts of obtaining proper-
ty by false pretense.
FDA spokeswoman Pat El-Hin-
naway said the agency has no
history with Great Specialty
Products or Seelig and has not
investigated the company.
To pressure the FDA to speed
up its work, activists are bringing
a 13-foot-tall gluten-free cake to
Capitol Hill on May 4. Doesnt it
seem strange that Congress
would have issued a mandate and
years go by and it hasnt been
done? said Jules Shepard, an
organizer and author of gluten-
free cookbooks who sells gluten-
free flour and cake mixes. It
seems like the FDA is breaking
the law, and its time to do some-
thing about it.
El-Hinnaway, the FDA spokes-
woman, said in an e-mail that
efforts are now underway to
publish another document in the
Federal Register and reopen the
matter to another round of public
comments. The FDA will then
consider the comments, the
findings of a safety assessment
and other factors to develop a
final rule.

Abbas seeks to allay fears on Hamas pact
He says PLO
will still handle
peace negotiations
BY JOEL GREENBERG
ramallah, west bank Aday
after his Fatah movement ini-
tialed a reconciliation agreement
with the militant Islamist group
Hamas, Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas
sought Thursday to counter
warnings fromIsrael and sugges-
tions in Washington that the
accord would undermine peace
efforts.
Meeting at his headquarters
with a group of Israeli business-
men and former security chiefs
advocating an Israeli peace ini-
tiative, Abbas gave assurances
that the Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization, which he heads,
would still be responsible for
handling negotiations.
Politics are for the PLO,
which means [its] for me, and
the government will work ac-
cording to my policy, Abbas said,
speaking in English.
The Hamas-Fatah under-
standing calls for the establish-
ment of a transitional govern-
ment of politically independent
technocrats to prepare for elec-
tions in a year.
Abbas responded to Israeli
Prime Minister Binyamin Netan-
yahu, who declared shortly be-
fore the factional accord was
announced that the Palestinian
Authority had to choose between
peace with Israel or peace with
Hamas.
Hamas are a part of the
Palestinian people, like or dis-
like. I cannot exclude them,
Abbas said. You, Mr. Netanyahu,
are our partner. We cannot ne-
glect you. So we have to take
both, and not to choose between
this and that. But please, Mr.
Netanyahu, you have to choose
between settlement activities
and peace.
Peace negotiations relaunched
in September broke off in a
dispute over continued Israeli
settlement building in the West
Bank. The Palestinians insist
that there can be no talks unless
the construction is halted, while
Netanyahu has agreed only to a
temporary freeze and demanded
that the Palestinians recognize
Israel as the Jewish state, a move
they reject.
Breaking the impasse could
become more difficult with the
signing of the agreement be-
tween Fatah and Hamas, a group
both Israel and the United States
consider a terrorist organization.
The White House said Wednes-
day that any new Palestinian
government would have to rec-
ognize Israel, respect previous
accords and renounce violence,
conditions that Hamas has re-
fused. The demands have been
adopted by the so-called Quartet
of Middle East mediators the
United States, the European
Union, Russia and the United
Nations.
State Department spokes-
woman Heide Bronke Fulton
said Thursday that the United
States was continuing its assis-
tance programs to the Palestin-
ian government for now, while
seeking more information on the
emerging alliance.
If a new Palestinian govern-
ment is formed, we will assess it
based on its policies at that time
and will determine the implica-
tions for our assistance based on
U.S. law, she told the Associated
Press.
In contrast with Netanyahu,
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud
Barak appeared to leave some
room for maneuvering, telling
Israel Radio on Thursday that if a
new Palestinian government is
formed, Israel should issue a
clear statement, coordinated be-
tween us and the Americans, that
we will have discussions with
such a government if, and only if,
it accepts the conditions set by
the Quartet.
On the streets of Ramallah,
where protests in recent months
have urged an end to the rift
between Hamas, which rules the
Gaza Strip, and Fatah, which is
dominant in the West Bank,
there were no signs of celebra-
tion Thursday, only a wariness
born of years of dashed expecta-
tions.
Weve heard a lot of promises,
but we want to see something
real, said Rabah al-Kasrawi in a
shop near Manara Square, the
scene of the demonstrations.
Analysts said significant ob-
stacles remained in the way of
finalizing the accord, and nailing
down the details could prove
difficult, particularly when it
comes to arranging the elections
and jointly supervising rival se-
curity forces that fought pitched
battles when Hamas seized con-
trol of the Gaza Strip in 2007.
Four years of incitement and
war between Hamas and Fatah
are not going to be just scrapped
in one day, Mkhaimer Abusada,
a political scientist at Al-Azhar
University in Gaza, said by tele-
phone. Its going to be a very
long and tenuous process.
Khalil Shikaki, a political ana-
lyst and pollster in Ramallah,
said that while the two factions
may have agreed to reconcile,
they had postponed the difficult
problems dividing them and
may not be able to do it.
What is clear, Shikaki said, is
that regional developments
pushed both sides to seek an
understanding. A growing chal-
lenge to the regime in Syria,
which hosts the political leader-
ship of Hamas, made the group
realize that its base there may
not be permanent and that it
could be left in limbo, he said.
Abbas, who is contemplating
moves to seek recognition of
Palestinian statehood at the
United Nations in September,
has much to gain froma reconcil-
iation with Hamas after which
he could present himself as the
leader of all the Palestinians, not
only those in the West Bank.
And with peace efforts stale-
mated, Abbas may well have
been thinking of his legacy, tar-
nished by the Hamas-Fatah split
that happened on his watch,
Shikaki said. The Palestinian
leaders likely calculation, he
added, was that if I cant give
them peace, I can give them
unity.

India rejects U.S. bids
for fighter jet contract
Strategic cooperation
between nations could
be at risk, analysts say
BY RAMA LAKSHMI
new delhi India announced
Thursday that it rejected bids by
U.S. companies seeking a $12 bil-
lion fighter jet contract, leaving
only European defense contrac-
tors in the running.
India shortlisted the French
company Dassault, which pro-
duces the Rafale jet, and the
four-nation European consor-
tium Eurofighter, which makes
the Typhoon, according to an
official in Indias Defense Minis-
try.
The deal for 126 fighters had
been considered a key compo-
nent of the growing defense part-
nership between India and the
United States, and President
Obama had personally advocated
on behalf of U.S. companies while
visiting India in November.
But Indias decision not to ac-
cept bids from either of the U.S.
companies, Boeing or Lockheed
Martin, raised questions about
the strength of that relationship,
analysts said.
Its hard not to see it having
ramifications for the relation-
ship. You had two administra-
tions lobbying very hard with the
Indians for what is the fighter jet
sale of the 21st century, said
Bruce Riedel, a former CIAofficer
and senior fellow at the Brook-
ings Institution.
A major hurdle for the United
States, Riedel said, was its per-
ception in India as an unreliable
arms supplier because of past
embargoes imposed after various
wars and nuclear tests.
There is a belief that in a crisis
situation, particularly if it was an
India-Pakistan crisis, the U.S.
could pull the plug on parts,
munitions, aircraft precisely at
the moment you need them
most, he said. Memories are
deep in this part of the world.
U.S. Ambassador Timothy Roe-
mer said in a statement that we
are reviewing the documents re-
ceived from the government of
India and are respectful of the
procurement process.
In a separate statement, Roem-
er announced his resignation for
personal reasons.
Experts said there was more at
stake in the deal than the sale of
jets. Had U.S. companies won the
deal, it would have led to closer
strategic cooperation: training,
jet upgrades, joint military exer-
cises.
Of course, theres a lot more to
the relationship politically and
militarily than this, but had this
gone through, it would have been
the centerpiece of it all, so theres
a real loss of opportunity here,
said Richard Aboulafia, an avia-
tion analyst at the Virginia-based
Teal Group who has closely fol-
lowed the international contest
over the contract.
And you could read into the
decision some of the continuing
tensions in the relationship,
Aboulafia said. I think theyve
felt at times like theyre taking a
back seat in terms of U.S. military
policy to Pakistan.
According to a recent report by
the consulting firm KPMG and
the American Chamber of Com-
merce, about half a dozen Ameri-
can companies are eyeing an
estimated$112 billioninopportu-
nities as India goes on a buying
spree to modernize its armed
forces by 2016.
The United States has already
dethroned Russia as the leading
exporter of defense wares to In-
dia, landing more than 40 per-
cent of recent defense deals. The
fighter jet contract involves
planes for Indias Medium Multi-
Role Combat Aircraft program.
The jets would put the Indian air
forces aging fleet on a high-tech-
nology route and strengthen its
air defense as it warily watches
China develop its own stealth
fighter and Pakistan buy newU.S.
planes.
India also plans to add its first
domestically developed light-
combat aircraft, called the Tejas,
to its air force in 2015.
In reaching a decision on the
fighter jets, analysts said, India
conducted its most exhaustive
trials ever, with Indian pilots
testing aircraft in the Himalayan
terrain in the north, the western
desert and southern plains.
In the earlier purchases, our
pilots used to visit the seller
countries and test the aircraft
there. Rarely did the aircraft
come to India for tests, saidJasjit
Singh, a retired air commodore in
the Indian air force and director
of the Center for Air Power Stud-
ies in New Delhi. He said India
drew up a list of about 500
parameters to evaluate the
planes. This time we have also
looked into the life-cycle cost of a
plane for the first time. We have
asked, Am I going to spend
through my nose on spares?
Defense and nuclear com-
merce are the big-ticket items in
the growing strategic relation-
ship between India and the Unit-
ed States.
But commercial contracts
worthbillions of dollars that were
expected to arise out of the land-
mark nuclear deal signed in 2008
have yet to materialize because of
disagreement over Indias domes-
tic nuclear liability law and bu-
reaucratic delays in securing
mandatory assurances that Indi-
an companies will not export
American nuclear technology.
Kanwal Sibal, a former Indian
foreign secretary who was once
the second-in-command at In-
dias embassy in Washington,
said some U.S. political leaders
had viewed the fighter-jet con-
tract as a test case for deepening
the strategic relationship and a
return-gesture for the nuclear
deal between the two nations.
India could either have made
a political decisionto give it to the
Americans or go for an open
international bid. India chose the
latter. India went for the may-
the-best-plane win route.

STORMS STRIKE THE SOUTH
Death toll from tornado outbreak nearing 300
Fuel is an issue for us, Little
said. Were struggling to provide
that to the emergency response
agencies. If you dont live here or
have business here, dont come.
Little middle ground
Local TV stations in Alabama
captured stunning footage of the
squat, black maelstrom as it
chewed a path through Tuscaloo-
sa shortly before dusk Wednes-
day, riding along an interstate
highway and coming within a
mileof thefootball stadiumthat is
home to the fabled Crimson Tide.
The university has closed, can-
celing final exams and postpon-
ing graduationexercises until Au-
gust. Power outages shut down
most forms of communication,
but students foundtheycouldstill
track the news through Twitter.
Somehow the Twitter feeds
keep coming, said IanSams, 22, a
senior. Youd see people tweeting
from shelters saying, We need
blankets, we need diapers, if you
can bring them, bring them.
As with any tornado, the de-
struction could seem capricious,
with obliterated areas bracketed
by neighborhoods that were
merely a little windblown.
Theres very little middle
ground. Either youtookabeating,
like you really were just devastat-
ed by it or I went to my parents
house, and they have power
and its just another day, said
Brandi Freeman, 21, a senior.
Alabamas Emergency Man-
agement Agency said 31 of the
states 67 counties have reported
damage. Most are in the central
tornadoes from A1 and northern parts of the state.
This was the big one, said
James-Paul Dice, chief meteorolo-
gist at WBRC Fox 6 in Birming-
ham. Amonster of a storm.
Dice said the biggest tornado
passed two miles fromthe station
as most of his co-workers took
shelter. He continued broadcast-
ing, telling his viewers that this
was unlike anything hed seen in
his 16 years in the business.
That this would be a day of
severe storms had been known
many days in advance, thanks to
computer models of the weather
pattern, but Dice said he was
shocked Wednesday morning at
some of the numbers he was
seeing. He saidthere is a measure
of potential tornadic activity
known as the energy helicity
index. Anything in the range of 3
or 4 would suggest a possible
tornado, and he was stunned to
see, on Monday, a forecast of a 6
for Wednesday. Then, Wednes-
day morning, the index jumped
to 14.
It was off the charts. This was
almost like made-up numbers,
Dice said.
Meteorologists are on the
ground examining the damage in
an attempt to get a precise handle
on the number of distinct torna-
does and their intensity. What
seems certain is that this was the
worst day for twisters in America
since Richard Nixon was in the
White House.
The outbreak is the biggest in
terms of tornadoes and in terms
of impact since 74 and its possi-
ble that its actually bigger than
74, said Harold Brooks, research
meteorologist at the National Se-
vere Storms Laboratory in Nor-
man, Okla.
The April 3, 1974, outbreak
sparked twisters across the east-
ern United States, claiming 310
lives, Brooks said. Wednesdays
outbreak may be most similar to
the tornadooutbreakof March21,
1932, when 332 people were
killed, including 268 in Alabama,
he said. Nothing, however, comes
close to the destruction of March
18, 1925, when 747 people died,
most of them along the path of a
single twister, the so-called Tri-
State Tornado that tore up Mis-
souri, Illinois and Indiana.
Brooks said the conditions
have beenripe inrecent weeks for
just such a catastrophe. Cold, dry
air aloft, powered by the jet
stream, blows in from the west,
meeting the low-level, warm,
moist air moving northwardfrom
the Gulf of Mexico. If the cold
fronts are strong enough theyll
suppress tornado formation. But
if theyre weak, the result can be a
deadly compromise between the
colliding air masses: The warm
air at ground level will be moving
in a different direction from the
air higher up. Thats a recipe for
the rotational energy that spawns
a full-blown tornado.
At the nuclear plant
The storms shut down the
three nuclear reactors at the
Browns Ferry power plant 30
miles west of Huntsville, Ala., a
plant of similar design to the
severely damaged Fukushima
Daiichi power plant in Japan. But
unlike Fukushima Daiichi, when
Browns Ferry lost primary power,
the plants diesel generators
kicked in as designed to keep the
reactors cool, said Barbara Mar-
tocci, a spokeswoman for the Ten-
nessee Valley Authority, which
operates the 3,274-megawatt fa-
cility. The plant is shut down
safely, she said, meaning that
control rods dropped into the re-
actors when power went offline,
stopping nuclear fission.
The plants cooling systems can
run indefinitely on diesel genera-
tors as crews work to restore ex-
ternal power, Martocci said. The
facility will not begin producing
electricity again until we have a
full damage assessment of our
entire transmissionsystem, Mar-
tocci added.
In Virginia, five people died
three in the small town of Glade
SpringinWashingtonandHali-
fax counties, when twisters
roared through overnight, offi-
cials said.
A truck stop on Interstate 81
anda newfactory were destroyed,
according to Christy Parker, assis-
tant administrator inWashington
County, in southwest Virginia.
Tractor trailers were flipped
and thrown about the interstate
like toys, she said Thursday.
Pokey Harris, Washington
Countys director of emergency
management, said late Thursday:
We have multiple injuries . . .
broken bones, crush injuries. We
have a tremendous amount of
devastation. Alot of buildings are
destroyed.
Most of the Virginia fatalities
occurred when what appeared to
be a tornado hit a mobile home
park, the truck stop and an apart-
ment complex, Virginia Depart-
ment of Emergency Management
officials said. Storms ripped
through a subdivision in Shenan-
doah County, damaging several
homes. Virginia Governor Robert
F. McDonnell (R) declared a state
of emergency, authorizing state
agencies to assist local govern-
ments in responding to the im-
pact of the weather.
Severe storms and possible tor-
nadoes also struck Goochland
County, officials said. Fifty people
were injured statewide.
Tornado warnings were issued
across the D.C. suburbs early
Thursday morning. Fast-moving
bands of storms packed high
winds and torrential rains. A fun-
nel cloud formed over Point of
Rocks inFrederickCounty shortly
before 7 a.m., according to the
National Weather Service.
There were widespreadreports
of damaged trees, including one
that fell across Route 109 in
Barnesville and another that
landed on an electric line in Mid-
dleburg, accordingtotheWeather
Service. Fauquier County schools
were delayed by two hours, and
Prince William County schools
canceled outdoor activities.
The storms causedflight delays
of up to 90 minutes at Reagan
National and Dulles Internation-
al airports.

STORMS STRIKE THE SOUTH
Alabama tornadoes a big test for reshaped FEMA
Obama will tour state
Friday; agency taking
support role in cleanup
BY ED OKEEFE
President Obama is scheduled
totour the aftermathof Alabamas
deadly tornadoes Friday as his ad-
ministrations approach to emer-
gency management faces its first
major test.
On Thursday, Obama vowed
that the federal government will
do everything we can to help
states recover from storms he
called nothing short of cata-
strophic.
Late Wednesday, the president
declared a federal emergency in
AlabamaanddispatchedCraigFu-
gate, headof theFederal Emergen-
cyManagement Agency, toinspect
the damage.
Fugate, a former Florida state
emergency management director,
said Thursday that the federal
government will take its cues in
offering aidfromstate leaders.
This is a response being con-
ducted by local responders, Fu-
gate said, adding that FEMA will
maintaina support role.
Even before the storms struck,
FEMA had already placed several
management assistance teams on
standby, based on weather re-
ports. The teams include many
disaster-relief experts. By Thurs-
day evening, the agency had sent
several dozen staffers south, with
others expectedto arrive Friday.
Aides said Fugate would likely
stay overnight in Alabama and
return to Washington on Friday
after touring damaged areas with
Obama.
Fugate and his former state
emergency colleagues widely
pannedFEMAsresponsetoHurri-
cane Katrina and other deadly
hurricanes in 2005. When he as-
sumed control of the agency in
2009, Fugateretooledtheagencys
response plans, placing more con-
trol in the hands of regional ad-
ministrators, who are expected to
keep in close touch with state and
local leaders.
That plan earned praise Thurs-
day from Alabama Gov. Robert
Bentley (R), who had asked for
helpfromWashington.
We are very thankful that we
have FEMA with us here today,
Bentley saidinTuscaloosa.
BentleyandFugate saidthe size
andmagnitudeof thetornadoes
and not a lack of preparation
were responsible for the high
number of deaths. Thursdays
storm system, which stretched
fromLouisiana to NorthCarolina,
ranks as one of the deadliest to hit
the UnitedStates indecades.
People are very aware in Ala-
bama of tornadoes, Bentley said.
You just cannot move massive
amounts of people when it hits a
largely populated area like Tusca-
loosa. Youcannot movethousands
of people infive minutes.
As the federal tornadoresponse
ramped up, administration offi-
cials also took part Thursday in a
regional earthquake drill that in-
volved several Midwestern states
as well as AlabamaandTennessee.
The drills, aimed at raising
awareness among families,
schools and businesses along the
New Madrid Seismic Zone, come
weeks beforeamajor national-lev-
el disaster exercise.
Fugatesaidit was important for
Thursday'sdrill toproceeddespite
the tornado damage.
We do have to be prepared for
concurrent natural disasters oc-
curring in this country, earth-
quakesbeingoneof them, hesaid.

In Atlanta, landing
planes is a challenge
The turbulence of a post-
tornado atmosphere makes for a
jarring, white-knuckle ride for
passengers andtests boththe skill
andjudgment of pilots and
controllers, whichwas the case
Wednesday inAtlanta.
There were periods of time
whenthey couldland, but we had
at least 40go-arounds andon
a normal day youhave one or
two, saidRob Thorne, a
controller who has workedthe
tower at Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport for five
years.
Ago-around happens when
the endof a bumpy flight is
postponedas the pilots are toldto
break off ona landing andtry
again.
We hadone [Boeing] 757
making his thirdapproachandhe
wantedto see if he couldmake it
in, but at about five miles he had
to break off anddivert to
Charlotte, Thorne said.
Dozens of planes, running too

After 30 minutes of huddling in

QuinBailey anda colleague
headedout inone of the
NorthStar EMS ambulance vans
inresponse to calls several miles
away onInterstate 359.
Tornadoes are common
enoughinTuscaloosa , Ala., that
people knowwhat to do whenthe
warning sirensounds. Many on
the interstate hadhuddled
beneaththe underpass as the

emerged, lucid, for the most part,
but injured.
Bailey, a dispatcher anddriver
for the emergency medical
company, packedthree at a time
into the ambulance andracedto

The hospital was organized
chaos, he said. There were beds
inthe hallways, nurses and
doctors everywhere. We would
just get the patient off the
stretcher andonto a gurney, give
a brief report, grab freshlinens
andheadout again.
The hospital was rapidly filling
to the point of overflowing and, as
night beganto fall, the drivers
were toldto headto nearby Holt.
Ontheir way, they spedpast
Baileys house just behinda
shopping center to findit sagging
under the weight of two fallen
trees. I just said, Oh, man,
theres my house, he said.
The tornados fat footprint
passedwithina hundredyards of

Baby, everythings gone. I can see the sky.
BY RICHARD FAUSSET
IN TUSCALOOSA, ALA.
A
ngela Kelso and Clayton
Smith got married Satur-
day, and all the spoils of
their wedding Tupperware,
wine glasses, a fancy vacuumstill
in its box were packed in their
modest rental home.
Angela, 22, had been watching
news of the coming storm all day
Wednesday and was home from
her graphic design job by 3:30
p.m. Her husband, 23, was just
minutes away at his ROTC class
at the University of Alabama.
But unless you knowa tornado
is imminent, what can you really
do? Angela played in the yard
with Allie, their pit bull mix, for a
while. But soon it was apparent
that something bad was headed
her way.
The power went out. There
was no more TV, she said. And I
knew I was in trouble.
Her father-in-law called and
told her to get into a safe place
with some pillows. So she went to
the hallway with Allie.
Then her mother called. She
told Angela it was going to sound
like a freight train passing right
by her, that it would just last a
moment.
She retreated to the tiny closet
in the master bedroom, crouched
low, with Allie in her arms, like a
baby. The closet was so small she
couldnt close the door all the
way, but she pulled it as close as
possible.
Then it came, just like her
mother had told her, the roaring
train with the wailing whistle.
She could feel things falling
around her, the floorboards were
ripping away.
I prayed, Lord, keep me
safe, she said. I had my eyes
closed and it felt like a dream.
When she lifted her face from
the pillow and looked up, the
closet door had swung open. She
saw clouds and a blue canvas
above her, the roof was gone;
windows smashed out. She didnt
see her bed. In the front, the big
magnolia tree, just about to flow-
er, was stripped of every leaf,
with nearly every branch broken
off, as if deliberately and mali-
ciously, at the points where they
met the trunk.
She jumped out of a low pic-
ture window that had been liber-
ated of glass. The best thing was
seeing all of the people alive who
were standing there, she said.
She called Smith. I said, Baby,
everythings gone. I can see the
sky. Im okay. Allies okay. But I
need you. He walked for blocks
through the mess trees fallen,
the Chevron station twisted, the
mattress store a filthy ruin.
The house was just walls and
piles of brick, their belongings
now junk. School textbooks and
notebooks littered the floor. Ev-
erything was spattered with
mud. For blocks it was the same.
They embraced and she told
him, Baby, go help the others.
He was a military policeman in
the Army Reserve; in2009 he had
been in Iraq. After graduating in
August 2012, he would make
lieutenant.
The neighborhood was flood-
ing with people and rescue work-
ers. They would hear a shout and
run toward it. Smith went a few
houses down, where three men
and a womanall of themyoung
like him were lying in the
rubble. One guy had a small cut.
But the others were in worse
shape.
Clayton and the impromptu
crew were worried about the
woman, that perhaps she had
hurt her back. Someone found
some plywood. They loaded her
on it and took her to the parking
lot of a Hardees. Someone put
her in a pickup truck and took
her to the hospital.
The second of the three men
had broken ribs and both legs
below his knees. The third man
was dead.
After a while, they walked to a
parking deck a few blocks away.
For the first time, Angela said, I
saw the city of Tuscaloosa, and as
far as I could see left, right and
in front of me everything was
gone. They spent the night at a
relatives house but were back
just after dawn Thursday with a
crew of friends, digging through
the rubble. Clayton knew it could
have been worse.
Angela was shook up last
night, he said. But we got mar-
ried on Saturday. Im very lucky
she wasnt hurt. Between God,
family and friends, we ll be okay.
Near the broken magnolia
tree, they made a pile of what was
worth salvaging: some clothes, a
bottle of Crown Royal, a case of
beer. And what was left of the
wedding gifts: the wine glasses,
sheets and bowls, the fancy vacu-
um still in its box, the Tupper-
ware.

Fund manager pleads guilty to insider trading
Former hedge fund portfolio
manager Donald Longueuil, who
was recorded describing how he
tore apart flash drives and tossed
the pieces in the backs of garbage
trucks when he feared the feds
might be closingin, pleadedguilty
Thursday to charges of insider
trading.
Longueuil, 35, who worked for
SAC Capital Advisors, became the
34th defendant convicted in in-
sider-trading cases in the South-
ern District of New York since
August 2009duringabroadfeder-
al crackdown.
He agreedtoforfeit $1.2million
of ill-gotten gains, and the Justice
Department agreed to recom-
mend a prison term of 46 to 57
months.
The case against Longueuil
highlighted the governments use
of stepped-up investigative tools
in its campaign against insider
trading. He was recorded telling a
friendandallegedco-conspirator-
how he took a late-night walk
around New York to scatter evi-
dence, saying, I pressed the eject
button and everythings [exple-
tive] gone, according to an FBI
affidavit.
Meanwhile on Thursday, in a
separate case, the Securities and
Exchange Commission charged
Jonathan Hollander, another for-
mer SAC employee, with trading
oninside informationthroughhis
own brokerage accounts. Without
admitting or denying wrongdo-
ing, Hollander reached a settle-
ment with the SEC that calls for
himto pay more than $191,000.
SAC was not accused of wrong-
doing. A spokesman for the com-
pany declined to comment Thurs-
day, but SAC has previously said
that Longueuil was dismissed in
2010 due to poor performance.

AIGsues investment adviser over CDOs
The swaps unit of American
International Group sued ICP As-
set Management for fraud in con-
nection with collateralized debt
obligations that the insurer says
cost it more than $350 million.
AIG Financial Products, in a
complaint filed Thursday in New
York state Supreme Court, said
the investment advisory company
and other defendants victimized
AIG and U.S. taxpayers over two
CDOs known as Triaxx that were
created and managed by ICP enti-
ties.
The ICP defendants benefited
throughwindfall profits andarti-
ficially inflated management fees,
and through conferring benefits
upon favored clients, including
Moore Capital Management, ac-
cording to the complaint.
The allegations are related to a
lawsuit the Securities and Ex-
change Commission filed in June
claiming that ICP and founder
Thomas Priore arranged more
than $1 billion in trades that de-
frauded clients or broke rules lim-
iting CDO risks. Priore denied
wrongdoing when the SEC suit
was filed.
ICP entities executed $1.5 bil-
lion in unauthorized or above-
market purchases for the Triaxx
CDOs, which were designed to
benefit them at AIGs expense,
AIG said in its suit. AIG, which
was bailed out by the U.S. govern-
ment in 2008 after bets on sub-
prime mortgages brought the in-
surer to the brink of collapse, said
the filing is part of an effort to
recouppotentially billions of dol-
lars fromalleged fraud.

Recession still picking on the little guy
While larger companies make headway, small businesses recovery remains sluggish
BY BRADY DENNIS
S
amuel Demisses Mary-
land-basedcoffee import-
ing business was prosper-
ing even after the 2008
financial crisis. New or-
ders poured in. But without
enough funding to pay suppliers
inEthiopia, he no longer could fill
the demand.
Gone were the pre-crisis days
when banks told him he was pre-
approved for loans of as much as
$100,000. Instead, even though
he had always made his payments
on time, his bank had slashed his
lineof credit, andothers hevisited
also turned him away. I couldnt
fulfill the demand, because I
didnt have the working capital,
said Demisse, owner of Keffa Cof-
fee in Towson. Without financ-
ing, you cannot do anything. . . .
Its like trying to drive a car with-
out gas.
In the past, the revival of small
businesses helped lift the U.S.
economy out of recession. But as
manylarger firms aregettingback
on solid footing and big banks
have returned to profitability,
small-business activity has re-
mained unusually sluggish this
time, offering little help in bring-
ing downthe unemployment rate.
Since the financial crisis, the
Obama administration has creat-
ed a patchwork of programs
aimed at helping existing small
businesses and spurring new
ones. Among them: numerous tax
breaks, expanded Small Business
Administration loans, measures
designed to get small banks lend-
ing again, efforts to help small
businesses begin exporting, and
public-private partnerships in-
tended to boost start-ups and fill
the venture capital void that has
persisted during the crisis.
Obama has also asked federal
agencies to review their regula-
tions for ways to streamline or
eliminate rules that unnecessarily
burden small businesses.
Were trying to facilitate get-
ting small business to be an en-
gine of recovery, Austan Gools-
bee, chairman of the presidents
Council of Economic Advisers,
said in an interview. Its impor-
tant. They should be driving the
recovery.
Demisse has taken the first
steps toward turning around his
coffee business. In the fall, he se-
cured a $75,000 loan from a pri-
vate lender in Pennsylvania and
used the money to take on new
business. Hes hoping to hire an
additional employee this spring.
But his experience illustrates
the obstacles many small-busi-
ness owners continue to encoun-
ter. The nations small businesses
have suffered disproportionately
during the downturn and contin-
ue to struggle more than their
larger counterparts.
Many existing businesses, their
credit lines tapped out and their
revenues battered, have struggled
to remain afloat, much less ex-
pand. Businesses wanting to grow
have often found themselves sty-
miedby the reluctance of banks to
lend again after the crisis. New
start-ups, which have fueled job
creation after previous reces-
sions, have not taken root at the
same pace as in the past.
Small businesses account for
more than half of private-sector
employees and have generated
nearly two-thirds of newjobs over
the past 15 years, according to the
Small Business Administration.
Experts agree that tougher ac-
cess to credit has played a key role
in the poor performance of small
firms. Anybody who cannot ac-
cess public capital markets has
found the recovery post-crisis re-
ally a struggle, Goolsbee said.
Essentially, the financial crisis
never left them.
Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S.
economist at High Frequency
Economics, addedthat thecrunch
for small firms took root in 2007.
Because small businesses are
so dependent on bank lending for
working capital, they really felt
the pain first, he said.
Shepherdson noted that al-
though the government respond-
ed to the crisis by bailing out big
banks and backstopping the com-
mercial paper market, which
large corporations use to fund
themselves, there was no wide-
spreadhelpdirectedtosmall busi-
nesses.
There was sort of an asymme-
try of treatment, he said. The
bailout of the banks did not bail
out the banks customers, who
were the small businesses.
Many entrepreneurs also used
the equity in their homes to help
finance their businesses, an ap-
proach that worked well during
thehousingboombut has harmed
themin the bust that followed.
The value of their home has
dropped dramatically, said Kath-
leen Snyder, president of the
MarylandChamber of Commerce.
They can no longer get a home
equity loan.
Officials at the nonprofit Na-
tional Federation of Independent
Business, which conducts a close-
ly watched monthly survey of
small-business owners, have in-
sisted that tight credit is not the
primary culprit. Credit availabil-
ity is not holding back loan
growth, the federations most re-
cent report stated. It is a lack of
demand. . . . It is going to take a
rebound in consumer spending
. . . to make a significant dent in
the number of unemployed.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of
Moodys Analytics, suggests that
the relative lack of new business
start-ups also might be due to a
less measurable, but very real,
metric. This was the Great Reces-
sion. . . . Psychologically, people
are very shellshocked and dont
think its a great time to start a
business, Zandi said. Its not
clear just how deep-seated the
scars are. . . . Our attitude toward
risk-taking might have shifted.
In response to Obamas order
that regulatory burdens be lifted,
some agencies have already taken
action. The Environmental Pro-
tection Agency this month ex-
empted some dairy farmers from
a decades-old provision that was
intended to prevent and contain
oil spills but had forced them to
develop plans to deal with milk
spills. The agency said the provi-
sion placed unjustifiable bur-
dens on dairy farmers.
But the governments aid has
limits. The administration was
able to push through the Small
Business Jobs Act in the fall
which among other things estab-
lished a $30 billion small-busi-
ness lending fund but Congress
is unlikely to approve additional
aid, giventhe focus onCapitol Hill
to rein in newspending.
Still, there are flickers of opti-
mism. Snyder, of the Maryland
Chamber, said many local busi-
nesses expect increased revenue
inthe latter part of the year. Shep-
herdson said the outlook is un-
doubtedly improving.
That improvement is essential,
Zandi said, to putting the country
down a path toward better days.
Our economy can grow with-
out small business contributing
significantly, but it cannot flour-
ish, he said. Without more busi-
ness formation, our economy
wont get its groove back.

Economic growth slowed in first quarter
BY NEIL IRWIN
The economys growth slowed
at the start of the year, according
to new data that show the recov-
ery is so weak that it doesnt take
much to knock it off its stride.
Severe winter weather, a dip in
defense spending and higher en-
ergy prices all slowed the growth
of gross domestic product in the
January-through-March quarter.
The good news is that economists
consider all those factors to be
temporary events that dont pose
a long-term threat. But at a time
when the government is strain-
ing for ways to jump-start the
economy and when forecasts had
called for a strong start to the
year, the slowdown came as a
disappointment.
The 1.8 percent pace of in-
crease in gross domestic product
in the first quarter, according to a
Commerce Department report
Thursday, is down from a 3.1
percent gain in the final months
of 2010. It is also lower than the
level of growth that, over time,
would be expected to drive down
joblessness. The U.S. economy
needs to grow about 2.5 percent
annually to keep unemployment
steady given continual growth in
the labor force and in worker
efficiency; even stronger GDP
growth is needed to bring unem-
ployment down.
All things considered, it could
have been worse, said Paul Ash-
worth, chief U.S. economist at
Capital Economics, noting the
temporary impact of energy pric-
es and other factors. Neverthe-
less, in a quarter when the econo-
my began to benefit from addi-
tional monetary and fiscal stimu-
lus, we had originally expected a
lot more.
There were some positive signs
in the report. Americans in-
creasedtheir spending at a steady
2.7 percent annual rate, and busi-
nesses ramped up their spending
on equipment and software at an
11.6 percent rate. Those numbers
suggest that the two major legs of
the economy, consumers and
businesses, remained confident
despite higher gas prices and
global political turmoil.
But the weak first quarter has
already led forecasters to mark
down their expectations for 2011
as a whole. Leaders of the Federal
Reserve, for example, said
Wednesday that they expect the
economy to grow 3.1 to 3.3 per-
cent in 2011; in January their
estimate was 3.4 to 3.9 percent.
In short, if growth were stron-
ger, the economy could handle
blows like higher oil prices and
January snowstorms that kept
consumers away from stores.
The job market was a bright
spot in the first quarter, despite
the soft growth in economic out-
put, with the unemployment rate
falling and job growth coming in
strong. But the number of people
filing for unemployment insur-
ance benefits has been edging up
in recent weeks. The number of
new jobless claims rose to
429,000 last week, the Labor
Department said in a separate
report Thursday, the highest level
since January.
While the GDP report showed
decent readings on consumer
and business spending, the na-
tions construction sector is in
dire straits, raising risks for the
remainder of the year. Invest-
ment in housing dropped at a 4.1
percent rate, and the pace of
commercial real estate invest-
ment fell 21.7 percent. Some fore-
casters had expected real-estate-
related industries to finally join
in the recovery in 2011.
Weve taken our forecast
down just a bit, taking into ac-
count factors like weaker con-
struction and possibly just a bit
less momentum in the economy,
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S.
Bernanke said in a news confer-
ence Wednesday.
But the biggest drag on growth
in the first quarter was a decrease
in government spending, accord-
ing to the report. Federal and
state spending declined at a 3.3
percent annual rate in the first
quarter. Combined, they sub-
tracted 1.1 percentage points
from the pace of growth. The
depressed rate is part of a longer
trend that could subtract from
overall economic activity for
months or even years to come.
International trade continued
to advance but not as much as at
the end of last year. Exports rose
at a 4.9 percent rate, down from
an 8.6 percent rate in the final
months of 2010.

it needs to repay the government,
Geithner said in remarks at the
Detroit Economic Club. Two
years ago, no one would have ex-
pected us to be in this position
today, and it shows the success of
the strategy the president imple-
mented and the skill and dedica-
tion of Chryslers employees. We
are looking forward to the full
repayment of our loan to the com-
pany.
Peter Whoriskey
Chrysler said Thursday that it
plans to repay $7.5 billion in loans
from the U.S. and Canadian gov-
ernments by June as it prepares
for an initial public offering of
stock.
The company is making the
payment to the government by
borrowing money from institu-
tional investors.
The United States directly pro-
vided $12 billion to Chryslers res-
cue. The announced repayment
would pay $5.8 billion to the U.S.
Treasury and $1.7 billion to the
Canadian government. The Unit-
ed States also owns 8.6 percent of
the company.
Treasury Secretary Timothy F.
Geithner used the announcement
to tout the administrations deci-
sion to prop up Chrysler when it
was on the brink of collapse.
Now, our strategy continues to
be to exit these investments, and
just today, Chrysler announced
that it intends to raise the money

ECONOMIC AND DOMESTIC POLICY
Excerpt fromwashingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein
A growth spurt thats a drop in the bucket
GDP growth in the first quarter of the year was 1.8 percent. In
normal times, thatd be disappointing. In a recovery, its downright
terrible.
What we need right now is something different from, and faster
than, normal growth. What we need right now is catch-up growth.
Weve spent years underperforming economically. Were 7 million
jobs below where we were when the recession began. Like a person
who has been starved for a year, getting back to normal wont cut it.
We need to get back to better than normal. We need to be above
trend.
In his statement Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S.
Bernanke seemed unconcerned by this transitory quarter of slow
growth. Most of the factors depressing the economy the weather,
an uptick in imports, a decrease in defense spending are unlikely
to stick around, he said. Others, like a drop in construction and
what Bernanke called just a bit less momentum in the economy,
might be with us for longer.
But heres the bottom line: The dictionary defines recovery as a
restoration to a former or better condition. Our economy isnt
anywhere near its former condition, and 1.8 percent GDP growth
isnt enough to get us there.

Area housing prices up amid national slump
Robust job market
played role in boosting
numbers, analysts say
BY DINA ELBOGHDADY
The Washington areas real
estate market is continuing to
recover, according to several re-
ports this week, which showed
that housing prices were up in
the region even as they declined
across much of the rest of the
country.
The regions thriving job mar-
ket, particularly its relative
abundance of high-paying posi-
tions and its reliable supply of
federal work, played a large role
in boosting the areas numbers,
analysts said.
The region was the only one of
the 20 major metropolitan areas
tracked by the Standard &Poors/
Case-Shiller price index to post a
price gain in February. Area pric-
es for single-family homes rose
2.7 percent from a year earlier,
the closely tracked index showed.
They were 81 percent above the
January 2000 level.
A separate analysis by the
research firm Delta Associates
this week found that average
area home prices jumped
3.2 percent in the first quarter
from a year earlier, to $369,279.
That marks the regions sixth
consecutive quarterly gain.
Meanwhile, the number of
contracts signed by home buyers
in March surged to 5,436 the
highest total for that month in
five years, according to Real-
Estate Business Intelligence, a
subsidiary of the local multiple
listing service. The results track
with gains at the national level,
where contract signings in
March, or pending sales, rose
5.1 percent from February, the
industry reported Thursday.
Despite these upbeat findings,
the federal governments push to
rein in spending and any setback
in the wider economy could un-
dermine the areas housing mar-
ket.
It can get tripped up by
macroeconomic activity, said
Jim Diffley, a senior director at
IHS Global Insight. Right now,
the biggest risk is oil prices
blowing up because of the prob-
lems in the Middle East.
The Delta report shows that
prices remained highest in what
it calls the core jurisdictions
the District, Alexandria and Ar-
lington County. Average home
prices in that grouping climbed
from a year earlier, to $485,159.
The largest gain was in Arling-
ton, where prices rose 7 percent.
Price gains in the rest of the
region were more modest.
In the inner ring Fairfax,
Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties the average price rose
1.3 percent, to $356,987. Gains in
Fairfax and Montgomery offset
steep declines in Prince Georges,
where prices fell 10.2 percent.
In the outer suburbs Lou-
doun, Prince Williamand Freder-
ick counties prices were up in
every jurisdiction. They climbed
from a year ago, to $303,575.
Aside fromits relatively strong
job market, the Washington re-
gion benefited because it was not
as hard hit by foreclosures as
many other parts of the country,
said Greg Leisch, Deltas chief
executive.
The areas tight rental market
also did its part to buoy home-
buying activity, Leisch said.
There are so few vacancies here
that rental rates have soared in
the past 18 months, and renting
is no longer the bargain it used to
be, he said.
If you combine all these fac-
tors, our for-sale housing market
is in better shape than any other
metropolitan area in the coun-
try, Leisch said.
Even when it comes to the
number of contracts signed in
March, regional numbers are
better than national ones on a
year-over-year basis, according
to the RealEstate Business Intel-
ligence analysis.
The areas pending sales were
up about 34 percent in March
from the previous month and
2 percent from the previous year,
on a non-seasonally-adjusted ba-
sis. Nationally, they were also up
about 34 percent month over
month, but they slid 11.5 percent
from a year earlier.
Jonathan Miller, an indepen-
dent analyst who compiled the
statistics for RealEstate Business
Intelligence, said the contract
numbers were not seasonally ad-
justed to account for a federal tax
credit for home buyers that
sparked a buying frenzy last
spring but has since expired.

Exelon announces deal
to acquire Constellation
Exxon Mobils earnings soar
along with prices at the pump
Profit rises 69%;
politicians condemn
tax breaks for oil firms
BY STEVEN MUFSON
Exxon Mobil on Thursday re-
ported a first-quarter profit of
$10.7 billion, a 69 percent jump
from the year before, as higher
crude oil prices, fatter U.S. oil
refining and marketing margins,
and a revival in global demand
for petrochemicals boosted earn-
ings.
Royal Dutch Shell also report-
ed higher profit. Excluding one-
time items and inventory gains,
Shell earned $6.3 billion, up 30
percent from the first quarter of
2010, even as production
dropped 3 percent.
The earnings one of the
half-dozen best quarterly results
ever for Exxon Mobil but not a
record poured fuel on the
political fires in Washington as
lawmakers and the White House
condemned the companys tax
breaks and complained about
high oil prices.
Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-
Mass.), a senior member of the
House Energy and Commerce
Committee, said the profits show
that the oil industry doesnt need
long-standing tax incentives for
exploration and production.
What is good for the biggest
oil companies isnt always whats
good for American taxpayers, he
said in a statement. The Ameri-
can people are getting tipped
upside down at the pump, then
asked to fork over whatever
change they have left to subsidize
these oil behemoths.
Exxon Mobil fired back, argu-
ing that highprices arent its fault
and were the result of higher
global oil demand, political insta-
bility in oil-producing regions
and the weak U.S. dollar. The
company also asserted that last
year it paid $1.6 billion in U.S.
income taxes and $8.2 billion in
other taxes.
In response to questions, com-
pany officials said they were
counting $6.2 billion in gasoline
sales taxes and $2 billion in local
property taxes and other duties.
We understand that its sim-
ply too irresistible for many poli-
ticians in times of high oil prices
and high earnings; they feel they
have to demonize our industry,
said Kenneth Cohen, Exxon Mo-
bils vice president for public
affairs.
From a business point of view,
a lot of things went right in the
first quarter for the worlds big-
gest oil company.
Higher crude oil prices were
the overriding reason for the
increase in profit. Exxon Mobil
produces 2.4 million barrels a day
of crude oil and natural gas
liquids, and the average price
Exxon received for every barrel
was $25 higher than the year
before, David Rosenthal, vice
president of investor relations,
said in a conference call with
analysts.
Exxon Mobil reported that its
combined production of oil and
natural gas was up 10 percent
from the first quarter of 2010,
thanks to a big increase in output
in Qatar and to tapping shale gas
assets it acquired last year when
it bought the independent explo-
ration firm XTO Energy. But the
increase resulted from higher
natural gas volume while oil pro-
duction dropped, disappointing
investors because crude oil prices
have been stronger than natural
gas. Exxons stock fell less than 1
percent in regular trading Thurs-
day.
The oil giant also said that it
has returned to the Gulf of Mexi-
co and that it is drilling the
Hadrian North exploration well
there. Drilling activities in the
gulf had been delayed after the
massive BP oil spill last year.
Exxon Mobil also said that its
refineries and gasoline stations
had more than kept pace with
rising crude oil costs. In the
United States, those down-
stream operations earned
$694 million, compared with a
loss of $60 million in the first
quarter of 2010.
During the first quarter, Exxon
Mobil continued its big share
buyback program, spending
$5.7 billion to repurchase its
shares.
The quarters profit wasnt a
record. Three quarters in 2008
were more profitable that is
when crude oil prices peaked at
$147 a barrel. The fourth quarters
of 2007 and 2005 were also more
profitable.
Still, Exxon Mobils first-quar-
ter 2011 profit an average of
$119 million a day could re-
inforce a call by President Obama
for Congress to do away with
$4 billion of oil subsidies.
Cohen said that those are le-
gitimate tax provisions to keep
U.S. industry internationally
competitive. He added, We have
seen the predictable political po-
sitioning but no actionto actually
help bring down energy prices.

Exxon Mobil netted $10.7 billion in the first quarter, making it one of its most profitable periods ever.
BY STEVEN MUFSON
Exelon, the nations biggest nu-
clear-power generator and one of
its largest electric utilities, an-
nounced Thursday that it would
acquire Constellation Energy
Group for shares of stock worth
about $7.9 billion.
The Chicago-based Exelon
would become the nations sec-
ond-biggest residential electrical
utility, with 6.6 million customers
in Illinois, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, and the biggest mer-
chant of electricityoncompetitive
markets. It would increase its nu-
clear-power capacity to 19,000
megawatts.
Constellation is owner of Balti-
more Gas and Electric and a fleet
of coal- and natural-gas-fired
power plants. A Constellation
joint venture with Electricite de
France owns nuclear plants at
three locations, including Calvert
Cliffs, Md.
Under the terms of the deal,
Constellations shareholders will
receive 0.930 shares of Exelon
common stock in exchange for
each share of Constellation com-
monstock. BasedonExelons clos-
ing share price on Wednesday,
Constellationshareholders would
receive a value of $38.59 per
share. Constellations shares had
jumped more than 11 percent in
after-hours trading Wednesday to
about $38 a share, on top of a
4 percent increase during regular
trading.
The deal, which includes a
$250 million package of benefits
for Maryland, will require a slew
of regulatory approvals. The ben-
efits package includes $50million
to develop 25 megawatts of re-
newable energy, a $100 credit for
BGE customers within 90 days of
closing the merger, a guarantee
that there will be no cuts in BGE
staff for at least two years, and a
pledge to maintain Constella-
tions $10millionper year inchar-
itable donations for at least a
decade.
Exelonwouldalso give $10mil-
lion to building electric-car infra-
structure and $4 million to the
states energy efficiency program.
Exelon also said that its com-
mercial retail and wholesale elec-
tricitybusiness andits renewable-
energy business would be based
in Baltimore and that the merged
company would build or renovate
a building to meet Leadership in
Energy and Environmental De-
sign standards.
The acquisition would mark a
crowning achievement for Exelon
chief executive John W. Rowe,
who said he would retire on com-
pletion of the deal. His No. 2,
Christopher M. Crane, would be-
come chief executive of the com-
bined company. Constellations
chief executive, Mayo A. Shattuck
III, would become executive
chairman of the company.
The new board would include
12 directors fromExelon and four
fromConstellation.
The merger with Constellation
requires the approval of share-
holders, as well as the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission,
the Nuclear Regulatory Commis-
sion, the Maryland Public Service
Commission, the NewYork Public
Service Commission, the Public
Utility Commission of Texas, and
other state and federal regulatory
bodies.

A16 Economy & Business EZ SU KLMNO FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011
Some Democrats defiant on debt ceiling
agreed that failing to do so would
risk a default by the U.S. govern-
ment, which could send interest
rates soaring and cut off Social
Security checks, as well as salaries
for combat troops.
And although many lawmakers
and aides say a bipartisan deal is
likely, theinsistenceonconditions
by a small but pivotal group of
Democrats suggests that any
agreement wouldalmost certainly
have to include substantial cuts in
the deficit not just to mollify
House Republicans but alsotosat-
isfyDemocrats whocouldbepolit-
ically vulnerable on spending is-
sues.
As catastrophic as it would be
to fail to raise our debt ceiling, its
even more irresponsible to not
take this opportunity to ownup to
our unsustainablespendingpath,
Sen. Mark Udall (Colo.), another
Democrat challenging the White
House, said in a statement his
office released this week. If we
dont take action to reduce our
deficit spending, Congress will be
facing this same debt ceiling vote
in the near term still with no
endto our deficits insight.
The debate is likely todominate
Capitol Hill as early as next week,
when lawmakers return from re-
cess. The government is expected
to reach its $14.3 trillion debt cap
in mid-May. Treasury Secretary
Timothy F. Geithner has said he
can maneuver to avoid a default
until early July.
The White House has con-
demnedefforts toattachaddition-
al measures to the debt-ceiling
issue. Press secretary Jay Carney
has called it a dangerous, risky
idea to hold hostage . . . a vote on
raising the debt ceiling to any oth-
er piece of legislation.
On Thursday, White House
spokeswoman Amy Brundage
said legislative leaders in both
parties have been clear that the
debt ceiling has to and will be
raisedtoprevent anothereconom-
ic meltdown. She added that
there is also bipartisanagreement
about reducing the deficit by tril-
lions of dollars. If members of
Congress act responsibly and try
to reach common ground, we can
agree to significant deficit reduc-
tionwithout playing reckless poli-
tics withour economy, she said.
Polls show why the debt vote is
so difficult for Democrats, who
debt from A1
next year are expected to face an
uphill battletoretaintheir narrow
Senate majority in an election
likely to focus onspending issues.
Just 16 percent of Americans
favor lifting the ceiling, according
to a Wall Street Journal-NBC sur-
vey published this month. Nearly
six in 10 independents opposed it.
Democrats were divided, with
nearly half saying they did not
knowenoughto have anopinion.
If youre in a red state, if youre
going to be perceived as a moder-
ate, you want to be able to say that
youre for cutting spending, said
J.B. Poersch, a Democratic strate-
gist and former executive director
of the partys Senate campaign
committee.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
M. Reid (D-Nev.) signaled this
week that he would be willing to
negotiate onthe terms of the debt-
ceiling legislation. He noted his
support for a deficit cap that
would prove that were willing to
do something about the debt.
Often called a debt fail-safe
trigger, such a cap has been em-
braced by President Obama as
well, to force tax increases and
spending cuts if the nations debt
as a share of the economy has not
stabilized by mid-decade. The
White House, however, has pro-
posed this measure separately
fromthe debt-ceiling vote. Repub-
licans oppose a deficit cap, argu-
ing that it would mean an auto-
matic tax hike.
Reid, speakingtoreporters ona
Wednesday conference call, hint-
ed that a deficit cap could be part
of a broad debt deal. The White
House can speak for themselves,
but were not going to be drawing
any lines in the sand, he said,
according to a call transcript.
Several Democrats, including
Conrad, Udall and Klobuchar,
have previously resisted raising
the debt ceiling without also ad-
dressing the deficit. In 2010, as a
condition for their support in an
earlier vote to lift the ceiling, they
insistedonthe creationof a bipar-
tisan panel to examine howto cut
the deficit.
Conrad said this week that he
would again refuse to back any
debt-ceiling extensionlasting lon-
ger than a year without a deficit-
reduction plan. Ive voted for
short-termextensions, but I wont
vote for a long-termextension, he
toldNBCs Meet the Press. AndI
wont do it now unless we have a
plan to deal with this debt, be-
cause, at the end of the day, this
represents a fundamental threat
to the economic security of the
UnitedStates.
Conrad is a key player in the
spending debate, as Budget Com-
mittee chairmanandas a member
of thebipartisanGangof Six that
is hashing out a possible compro-
mise ona 2012 budget plan.
Some lawmakers are pinning
their hopes on the Gang of Six
negotiations to produce a possible
deficit-reductionplantobe paired
with the debt-ceiling vote. The
groupcouldrelease its framework
as earlyas next week. But Conrads
Democratic colleagues in the ne-
gotiations, Sens. Mark R. Warner
(Va.) and Richard J. Durbin (Ill.),
said Thursday that their talks
shouldnot betiedtothedebt limit.
Warner said the debt limit is
not something we should mess
with. Durbin said any threat not
to raise the ceiling was playing
with fire. He added that he wants
tomakecertainthereis anhonest
effort to deal with our long-term
debt, but linking the two is prob-
lematic.
Manchin kicked off a statewide
tour this week by announcing his
support for a GOP-backed bill to
impose spending caps. The mea-
sure is viewedby some lawmakers
as a possible point of compromise
inthe debt-limit debate.
He has been asking audiences
for a showof hands totest support
for lifting the borrowing cap, with
overwhelming numbers express-
ing opposition. You have to pay
your debt, but whenyoufindyour-
self in a hole, you ought to stop
digging, Manchin said Thursday
in a statement from his office. He
accused the White House and
House Republican leaders of
playing partisangames.
He added: Only inWashington
would people argue that the re-
sponsible thing to do is raise the
debt ceiling and add trillions of
dollars in more debt, without a
real andresponsible debt fix.

Radio One moving
to Silver Spring,
wont return to D.C.
BY JONATHAN O'CONNELL
Radio One is moving its corpo-
rate headquarters from Lanham
to Silver Spring, ending a years-
long effort by the company to
return to the District, where it
was founded by Catherine
Hughes in 1980.
The company, owner of 53
urban radio stations in 16 mar-
kets nationwide, pursued a move
to the District before the econo-
my battered the radio broadcast-
ing industry and the real estate
market. It would have anchored
a new mixed-use project atop a
Metrorail station in the Shaw
neighborhood.
Hughes, the companys chair-
woman, who founded the com-
pany on HStreet NE, made a plea
to the D.C. Council to support the
Shaw project in 2007. The coun-
cil and Mayor Adrian M. Fenty
(D) obliged, providing a package
of subsidies with an estimated
value of $30 million. The project
was to be named Broadcast Cen-
ter One and have a ground-floor
recording studio. The company
has five Washington area sta-
tions, including WKYS (93.9
FM).
But Radio Ones stock price
dove during the recession as a
result of dwindling advertising
sales, under-performing assets
and high debt levels, and early
last year it pulled out of the Shaw
project, at Seventh and S streets
NW. Its stock has been trading
around $2 in recent months.
After restarting its search, the
company settled on space just
across the border from the Dis-
trict, on the top floor of a Silver
Spring office building called the
Atriumat Station Square. At 1010
Wayne Ave., the building is near
a Red Line Metrorail station and
a MARC train station and is
home to the companys TV One
unit.
Radio One declined to com-
ment, but according to Moore &
Associates, the Bethesda firm
that owns and operates the
building, TV One extended its
lease and the Radio One corpo-
rate headquarters will relocate to
23,000 square feet of space in
September. CoStar Group, the
commercial real estate data firm,
posted information about the
lease online last week.
We were always kind of in the
running, so to speak, said Vince
Coviello, executive vice president
at Moore & Associates. We had
some timely turnover of space, so
the top floor became available
and some space below that.
To keep Radio One, Maryland
Gov. Martin OMalley (D) provid-
ed the firm with a $400,000
grant that requires the company
to invest at least $1.25 million in
the move by the end of 2012 and
maintain at least 210 employees
there throughout the six-year
lease. Karen Glenn Hood, a
spokeswoman for the Maryland
Department of Business and
Economic Development, said it
was important to keep the jobs in
the state.
They were looking to move
into D.C., so obviously it was
important for us to keep them
here, she said. Obviously, re-
taining these jobs is important.
Steve Silverman, Montgomery
Countys director of economic
development, said the county
also played a role in the deal but
declined to comment before Ra-
dio One made an announcement.
For the District, Radio Ones
move is a loss, but the developers
behind the real estate project in
Shaw Four Points, Ellis Devel-
opment Group and the Jarvis Co.
replaced Radio One with the
United Negro College Fund as
anchor. The building has since
been renamed Progression Place
and is under construction.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
The most dynamic power in this world is love
Shri Mataji
H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of the worldwide meditation movement called Sahaja Yoga,
passed away peacefully on 23rd February 2011 in Genoa, Italy, aged 87. Shri Matajis life was unique.
Whether walking barefoot with Gandhi or conversing with the Queen of England, Shri Mataji
addressed apparent extremes with efortless grace, dignity and loving attention.

Sahaja Meditation is a non proft organization, which provides free meditation classes and holistic solutions to communities across America,
inspired by the teachings of Shri Mataji. More information? Visit www.sahajameditation.com or call 888.9.SAHAJA.
Shri Matajis extraordinary journey left a remarkable path.
Born of a royal dynasty, she conferred with Mahatma Gandhi as a child, living for a time
in his ashram. She demonstrated poise and practicality in both the mundane and the
sublime planesas a medical student, a freedom fghter advocating a politically liberated
India, a homemaker, an adored mother, grandmother, great grandmother and the wife of a
distinguished diplomat, Sir C.P. Srivastava. But incredibly, afer an already exemplary life,
with her family duties completed, she then embarked on an even more
extraordinary mission.
Shri Mataji was born to Christian parents in India. Spiritually enlightened, she knew from
early on that her unique spiritual gif must be made available to everyone. And so, in 1970,
she founded Sahaja Yoga, a unique process of Self Realization through which the peace
and clarity of true meditation could be accessible to the masses.
Perhaps her greatest achievement was to enable everyday people to
pass on the same transformative experience that they received, as
one enlightened candle to another. She charged no money for this
experience and insisted that genuine spiritual enlightenment is the
birthright of every human being and should be freely available to all.
She said, True and lasting solutions to correct ills can be found only
by inner, collective transformation.
For the next 40 years, she continuously travelled the globe, teaching
meditation leading to inner peace; millions came to know her as an
acclaimed public speaker, gentle guide, philanthropist and recipient
of numerous awards and commendations worldwide. From her
nomination for the Nobel Peace prize to recognition she received
from organizations such as the U.N.; dignitaries worldwide credited
Shri Mataji as a source of genuine hope for humanity.
Having frst started her work in America in 1972, Shri Mataji has garnered praise from
prominent city mayors, and state governors in proclamations. Michael Bloomberg, Mayor
of New York, wrote on the occasion of her birthday in 2010, On behalf of the residents
of New York Citymany of whom enjoy more peaceful and balanced lives as a result of
your lifelong workI wish you good health and great happiness. Christopher J. Dodd,
a Connecticut Senator, also wrote to Shri Mataji in 2010, stating, While your own
contributions to the feld of health through meditation have changed the lives of millions,
your life-long selfessness has touched the hearts of so many more. As an expression of
gratitude, the mayors of several major cities have proclaimed special days in her honor.
In 2008, Mayor Bill White of Houston proclaimed her birthday, March 21, as Shri Mataji
Nirmala Devi Day.
Along with her vision of peace, Shri Matajis creativity to empower the multitudes was
prolifc and resulted in many initiatives, including a holistic health and research centre near
Mumbai, an international cancer research centre, a charity house for destitute women and
children in Delhi, and an international Music Academy in Vaitarna
to promote classical music and arts.
Every era has had a special need, a special thirst, and a special
message. Tis era is clearly one of integration in society, between
man and woman, between nations and cultures. Trough her life,
work and teaching, Shri Mataji established a living integration of
the great religious traditions of the world, thereby laying a frm and
lasting foundation for cross-cultural unity, universal love and peace.
Claes Nobel, Chairman of United Earth and grandnephew of Alfred
Nobel, described Her as an avatar of the modern era, and Ayatollah
Rouhani acknowledged her as the messenger of peace. In the hearts
of her followers and family, she will ever remain: the comforter,
counselor, and redeemertheir most compassionate mother.
Shri Mataji opened hearts with her wisdom, her infectious laughter
and her wonderful sense of humor. Troughout her life, she was known for her eloquence,
pragmatism, compassion, and love. She will live on within the mind and spirit of all those
who have had the good fortune of knowing her and in the countless others whose lives have
been touched by her boundless generosity. It is because of her wisdom and graciousness that
many regard her as the most signifcant spiritual fgure of our time.
There can be
no peace in the
world until there
is peace within

Thats an adjective you dont usually see before underwear
A
n Army marches on its
stomach, said
Napoleon, or maybe it
was Frederick the Great. But the
Marines in Afghanistan will soon,
one would hope very soon, be
marching more safely in their
newballistic underwear,
designed to better protect them
frominjuries fromimprovised
explosive devices.
The Pentagon this month put
out a rush order solicitation,
spotted by our colleague Walter
Pincus, for 27,500 ballistic
undergarments for $2 million,
noting that ballistic underwear
is currently being used by British
forces in Afghanistan and they
have significantly less injuries to
their privates as a result.
Based on analysis in theater,
the solicitation notice says, such
underwear will drastically
improve casualty recovery and
reduce secondary infections.
This is especially important in
such places as Helmand province,
where patrols in agricultural
areas must be done on foot on
narrow, often mined, paths along
irrigation canals and such.
The double -weave silk
underwear, which looks pretty
much like bicycle shorts, is not
bulletproof. But it will block out
smaller particles or blast
fragments and thus lessen
damage in the groin area and to
the femoral artery.
In addition, the undies have an
antibacterial treatment that
should reduce the risk of
infection. The Marines say no
source except the British supplier
provides a battlefield tested
undergarment, though we
expect more sources to enter the
marketplace in the future.
Sounds as if they want
immediate delivery, like maybe
yesterday.
Scuttled diplomacy
President Obamas
ambassadorial teamseems to
have encountered a rough patch
of late, courtesy of WikiLeaks and
some bad reviews by the State
Department inspector general.
The ambassador to Malta,
Douglas Kmiec, a well-known
conservative lawprofessor and
prominent Catholic backer of
Obama, announced this month
that he was leaving.
The move came after the IG
said Kmiec was spending too
much time on issues such as
abortion and faith and neglecting
his ambassadorial work at the
lovely Mediterranean island
posting.
Another IGreport in February
blistered mega-contributor
Cynthia Stroums abusive
management style at the
embassy in Luxembourg and
questioned expenditures there on
travel, wine and liquor. She left
the job just days before the report
was released.
And a March IGreport
criticized another major Obama
contributor, prominent
Washington lawyer and Obama
bundler Laurie Susan Fulton,
whos nowambassador to
Denmark, for being harsh in
dealing with any lapses she
perceives among staff and for
not delegating authority to staff
there. Where she perceives
lapses, the report said, her
response has been sharp and, to
those affected, frequently
unpredictable.
The reporting, analysis and
outreach functions are operating
belowpotential, the report said,
due to the concentration of
decisionmaking in the hands of
the ambassador.
On the other hand, the IG
found that Fulton has led an
effective dialog with the Danes
and been the driving force behind
major initiatives on womens
issues and counterterrorism.
And theres Carlos Pascual,
who resigned last month as U.S.
ambassador to Mexico after
WikiLeaks put out a cable in
which he complained of
incoherence in Mexicos fight
against drug cartels.
The leaked cable infuriated
Mexican President Felipe
Calderon, who made it perfectly
clear he didnt want to work with
Pascual.
Of course, Pascual may have
irked Calderon and other
National Action Party leaders by
dating the daughter of Francisco
Rojas, the congressional leader
of the opposition Institutional
Revolutionary Party, which had
run the country for more than 70
years.
After Pascual
Theres still time to sign up for
those fine postings in
Luxembourg a stones throw
fromParis or Malta less than
a 90-minute flight to Rome. But
in Mexico City, word is the White
House is looking to fill the
embassy job with a career
Foreign Service type.
If so, the smart money is
trending to Earl Anthony Tony
Wayne, whos nowthe deputy in
the embassy in Afghanistan.
Wayne, whose diplomatic career
started in 1975, served in a
number of jobs in Europe and
was assistant secretary of state
for economic and business affairs
fromJune 2000 until June
2006 before becoming
ambassador to Argentina. Hes
been in Kabul since last May.

Patients to affect hospital bonuses
High satisfaction scores
will be reflected in
Medicare payments
BY JORDAN RAU
Thought your hospital room
was dirty? Did your nurse some-
times ignore you? If so, the hospi-
tal has a new reason to worry:
Patient gripes soonwill affect how
much hospitals get paid by Medi-
care.
The Centers for Medicare and
MedicaidServices is finalizing de-
tails for the new reimbursement
method, required by last years
health-care law. Consumer advo-
cates say tying scores from pa-
tient-satisfaction surveys to pay-
ments will result in better care.
But many hospital officials are
wary, arguing the scores dont
necessarily reflect the quality of
the care and are influenced by
factors beyond their control.
Medicare has been publishing
patient-satisfaction scores on its
Hospital Compare Web site since
2008 but hasnt used them to
adjust payments. Under CMSs
proposal, Medicare will begin
withholding 1 percent of its pay-
ments to hospitals starting in Oc-
tober 2012. That money
$850 million in the first year
will go into a pool to be doled
out as bonuses to hospitals that
score above average on several
measures. The agency is poised to
release the final rule.
This may hurt hospitals in re-
gions where patients tend to ren-
der less-than-glowing judgments.
Inthe District andNewYorkstate,
only 59 percent of patients give
their hospital experiences a top
rating, lower than anywhere else
except the Virgin Islands. Nation-
ally, an average of 67 percent of
patients give their hospitals a top
rating.
Under the proposal, patient
scores would determine 30 per-
cent of the bonuses, while clinical
measures for basic quality care
would set the rest.
These are hard scores to im-
prove, and I think thats why hos-
pitals get frustrated, said Dale
Shaller, a Minnesota health-care
researcher who oversees the na-
tional patient survey database for
thefederal government. Hospitals
argue that the scores should have
less weight but nevertheless are
trying to figure out how to im-
prove their rankings.
No one is sure why hospitals in
some regions fare more poorly
than those in other parts. One
theory: These hospitals treat lots
of patients with multiple ail-
ments, leading to worse reviews.
CMS says it adjusts its ratings to
take this into account. Teaching
hospitals and other large hospi-
tals also get worse patient evalua-
tions than do small community
hospitals, some research shows.
Hard-to-measure cultural fac-
tors also may play a role. North-
easterners, for example, may be
harder to please than Midwest-
erners and Southerners. Hospi-
tals in South Dakota, Nebraska,
Louisiana and Iowa are at the top
of hospital patient reviews, ac-
cording to Hospital Compare.
Hospitals conduct the surveys
of recently discharged people, in-
cluding those too young to be on
Medicare. Questions include
whether nurses and doctors al-
ways communicated well; wheth-
er the patients always received
help as soon as they wanted;
whether their pain was always
well controlled; whether their
rooms andbathrooms were clean;
whether they got explanations
about medications; and whether
they got directions on what to do
after leaving the hospital.
The Districts hospitals lag on
many of the specific questions.
For instance, about two-thirds of
recently discharged patients at
George Washington University
Hospital reported nurses always
communicated well. That was 10
percentage points below the na-
tional average. At United Medical
Center inSoutheast, 64 percent of
patients said they were given in-
structions on what to do after
leaving the hospital, 18 points be-
lowaverage.
Chris Jordan, director of quali-
ty management at George Wash-
ington Hospital, said his hospital
has been improving its patient
ratings this year. I can guarantee
you that well get better, he said.
Some Maryland hospitals also
have some lower-than-average
scores. At Shady Grove Adventist
Hospital in Rockville, 39 percent
of patients said they always re-
ceived help as soon as they want-
ed, 25 points belowaverage.
Were not where we ought to
be, said Dennis Hansen, Shady
Groves president. To improve sat-
isfaction, nurses now check in
with patients every hour.
In New York City, three nation-
ally known teaching hospitals
Beth Israel Medical Center, NYU
Langone Medical Center and the
Mount Sinai Medical Center
scoredbelowaverage. EvenNewY-
ork-Presbyterian Hospital, which
did better than average on its
overall rating, still scored below
average on specific questions.
Because we have such cultural
diversity, such literacy variability
and such large and very complex
hospitals, for us toalways hit it out
of the park is very difficult, said
JaclynMucaria, a senior vice pres-
ident at NewYork-Presbyterian.
Dr. James Merlino, chief experi-
ence officer of the Cleveland Clin-
ic, which scores below average on
seven of nine key patient-satisfac-
tion questions, said doctors and
nurses have done their own stud-
ies and concluded that very sick
and depressed patients give
skewedviews. Very ill patients are
less likely to report that nurses
check in on them every hour
even when logs prove they did, he
said.
But low patient ratings often
spring from real shortcomings,
said Jodie Cunningham, of Press
Ganey, a company that adminis-
ters the surveys for many hospi-
tals. She said poor ratings can be
causedbybademployeemoraleor
bed shortages that force patients
to remaininemergency rooms for
hours before being admitted.
Consumer advocates, who
want CMS to give even greater
weight to the patient views, said
the payment changes, even if im-
perfect, will spur improvement.
If we go at the rate many
providers wouldlikeus togo, well
be having the same conversation
in10years, saidDebra Ness, pres-
ident of the National Partnership
for Women and Families, a Wash-
ington nonprofit.

A fail-safe
way to cut
the debt
Unchain
the CIA,
Mr. Obama
A menthol test for the FDA
BY MAYA MACGUINEAS
I
nhis recent its-time-to-get-seri-
ous-on-the-budget speech,
President Obama introduced
his idea for a debt fail-safe to, in his
own words, hold Washington
and to hold me accountable and
make sure that the debt burden
continues todecline. While budget
trigger mechanisms havent
worked particularly well in the
past, there is reason to believe this
timeif doneright theycouldbe
part of the solution.
The presidents debt fail-safe
would mandate cuts to govern-
ment spending and tax breaks if by
2014 notably, not until after the
election deficits were not pro-
jected to be declining as a share of
the economy. To be workable, debt
targets and triggers, which the Pe-
terson-PewCommissiononBudget
Reform spent the past two years
working on, need to be well struc-
tured and politically realistic, and
they need to come with enforce-
ment mechanisms that are strong
enoughtopushlawmakers toact. A
number of ideas could improve the
presidents fail-safe proposal:
Start right away. Deficit reduc-
tion cannot be delayed until after
the election. A budget framework
should be put in place this year,
with real savings targets starting
next year. We have no idea when
our creditors will lose faith in the
United States, but we should not
push this to beyond the election
and risk finding out.
Set annual targets. The pur-
poseof abudget target is tolayout a
clear fiscal objective, such as bal-
ancing the budget, or (as is now
more realistic given our debt-swol-
len starting point) bringing the
debt down to a more reasonable
share of the economy by the end of
the decade. But there also should
be yearly measures for getting
there, to avoid politicians loading
all their promisedsavings far inthe
future. Politicians promises to
make tough choices years from
nowring hollow.
Exempt nothing. To be taken
seriously, a budgetary target needs
to be coupled with triggers, which
are basically the teeth that make
the target more than an empty
political promise. Obamas pro-
posed trigger would levy cuts on
spendingandonthecredits, deduc-
tions and exclusions that clutter
the tax code. But it exempts Social
Security and Medicare benefits
which is like punishing your kids
by denying themdessert, except for
candy and ice cream. All programs
needto be part of the trigger, which
is what will get policymakers to
develop a savings proposal on their
own terms rather than waiting for
the trigger to force their hand.
Shoot high. The president pro-
posed stabilizing the debt by the
end of the decade. Not good
enough. Obamas commission on
fiscal responsibility proposed sav-
ing $4 trillion over the decade; the
president countered with propos-
als to save $2.5 trillion. He should
match what his own commission
proposed, which would lead to the
debt shrinking relative to the econ-
omy after 2013.
How should a budget trigger fit
into the unfolding debate? Anobvi-
ous fit is as part of the debt ceiling
discussion. The debt ceiling has to
be lifted failing to do so would be
catastrophic. Yet, not making
changes to the budget situation
would be disastrous as well only
the consequences would not be as
immediate.
Ideally, we would attach a full
budget reform framework, as the
Gang of Six (a bipartisan group of
senators pushing a comprehensive
plan) is working on, to the debt
ceiling increase. But time is short;
we bump up against the debt ceil-
ing in the coming weeks. Targets
and triggers may work as a perfect
bridge to the larger plan. However,
they will only work if they reflect
the political will to make changes,
rather than a political punt, and
even the best debt fail-safe mecha-
nism needs to include some specif-
ic spending cuts upfront to help
pave the way.
The Gramm-Rudmanbudget act
failed because the targets became
too stringent to be realistic; the
Medicare solvency trigger failed
because there was never really any
intent to fix the program. So while
the debt fail-safe may be the perfect
starting point to help buy some
time, only real policy changes will
get the job done.

O
ver the past two years, America
has come alarmingly close to mul-
tiple large-scale attacks by terror-
ists linked to al-Qaeda. For President
Obama to effectively secure this country
against attacks, he must stop weakening
the capabilities of the CIA and diminish-
ing our intelligence-gathering efforts.
On April 10, for instance, it was
publicly reported that Umar Patek had
been apprehended by Pakistani officials.
Patek is described by foreign and domes-
tic intelligence officials as a central
figure among Islamic extremists in
Southeast Asia and is said to possess a
gold mine of information about al-
Qaeda sympathizers across the region.
The Bush administration had offered a
$1 million bounty for his capture in
2005.
Yet the CIA, it was reported this
month, had taken no steps to detain or
interrogate Patek. The CIAs deeply di-
minished role in interrogating newly
captured terrorists is one of several
dangerous roadblocks that this adminis-
tration has thrown up, constraining our
ability to gather crucial intelligence and,
ultimately, putting this country at grave
risk.
The CIAs reluctance to act is hardly
surprising, given the second-guessing
and retroactive inquiries to which it has
been subjected in recent years. In April
2009 the president ordered the release of
highly classified memos detailing the
legal authority the CIA relied upon to
guide its interrogation efforts after the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. He also forced the
CIA to limit its interrogation methods to
those contained inthe Army Field Manu-
al, much of which is publicly available to
the very terrorists who would be the
subject of such interrogations.
In August 2009, Attorney General Eric
Holder took the extraordinary step of
appointing a special prosecutor to
launch a criminal probe of the CIAs
interrogation efforts, an investigation
that is ongoing. These actions are coun-
terproductive and ignore the lessons of
recent history. The 9/11 Commission had
already concluded that the CIA was
institutionally risk-averse because of
precisely these types of threats of prose-
cution, which it said caused the CIA to
fail to act in ways that might have
prevented the Sept. 11 attacks. Instead of
subjecting the CIA to a criminal probe of
its response to the last major terrorist
attack, the administration should be
providing the agency with all the re-
sources and encouragement necessary
to stop the next terrorist attack.
This administration has lost sight of
the reality that actionable intelligence
not criminal prosecution is the only
way our country can detect and foil the
next al-Qaeda plot. Despite repeated
terrorism attempts on our soil, and
several close calls, there still does not
appear to be a coherent protocol in place
for acquiring such intelligence when
high-value terrorists are apprehended.
While testifying before the Senate Judi-
ciary Committee in November 2009,
Holder said there would be no need to
interrogate Osama bin Laden if he were
captured because there was already
overwhelming evidence to convict him
in a court of law.
Yet in February this year, Director of
National Intelligence James Clapper told
the Senate Select Committee on Intelli-
gence that the administration still has
not resolved how it would handle the
detention or interrogation of bin Laden
or other high-value targets such as
Ayman al-Zawahiri if they were captured
tomorrow. And last month, FBI Director
Robert Mueller said that it continues to
be the attorney generals position that
the FBI will administer Miranda warn-
ings to high-level terrorists captured on
American soil. As a consequence of this
misguided approach, the would-be
Christmas Day bomber was Mirandized
shortly after his capture in 2009, costing
us an opportunity to gain potentially
invaluable timely intelligence from a
foreign terrorist dispatched by al-Qaeda
in the Arabian Peninsula.
These actions and policy statements
demonstrate a dangerous return to the
pre-Sept. 11 focus on a criminal-law
solution to terrorisman approach that
the Sept. 11 commission found contrib-
uted to widespread underestimation of
the threat posed by terrorism. The
intelligence community should not be
hampered in this way but instead al-
lowed the crucial flexibility to pursue
intelligence that will lead to the capture
of those who are at war with the United
States and committed to its destruction.
Our intelligence officers need affirma-
tion and support not more constraints
and second-guessing.

N
o action the Food and Drug Admin-
istration and the Obama adminis-
tration could take would do more to
save lives, reduce health-care costs and
curb the tobacco industrys exploitation of
children and minority teens than to ban
menthol flavoring in cigarettes.
Consider these findings from a March
report by an FDA panel:
Eighty percent of adolescent African
American smokers use menthol cigarettes.
Most adolescent Hispanic American
smokers use menthol cigarettes.
Most Asian American middle-school
smokers use menthol cigarettes.
Almost half of 12- to 17-year-old
smokers use menthol cigarettes (and, as
other research has found, more than 90
percent of adult smokers are hooked as
teens).
The Family Smoking Prevention and
Tobacco Control Act, enacted in 2009,
bans flavoring a cigarette with any herb or
spice, or strawberry, grape, orange, clove,
cinnamon, pineapple, vanilla, coconut,
licorice, cocoa, chocolate, cherry or coffee
flavor except for menthol. Why was
menthol flavoring not prohibited as we
and many public health professionals
urged when Congress considered the bill?
Heres what senior members of Con-
gress told us: If the bill bans menthol
flavoring, Philip Morris will withdraw its
support and the legislation will not pass.
After all, Philip Morris and the other
tobacco companies have spent about $20
million a year lobbying for the past 12
years. The tobacco companies also sprin-
kle campaign contributions to legislators
across party lines; last year alone, it gave
$1.5 million to Republican members and
$800,000 to Democratic members.
The 2009 law did establish a scientific
advisory committee to evaluate health
issues and make recommendations to the
FDA. At our urging, it required the
committee to act promptly on menthol
flavoring in cigarettes. The committees
recently issued report puts the ball of
banning such flavoring in the FDAs court
because it concluded that menthol ciga-
rettes have an adverse impact on public
health by increasing the numbers of
smokers with resulting premature death
and avoidable morbidity.
Thanks to the committees work, we
know why Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds
and the rest of the tobacco industry
fought so fiercely to keep menthol flavor-
ing in cigarettes. The committee found
that menthol reduces the harshness of
smoke and the irritation from nicotine,
and may increase the likelihood of nico-
tine addiction in adolescents . . . who
experiment with smoking. The commit-
tee charged the industry with exploiting
teens and children: [I]ndustry docu-
ments . . . confirm that the industry devel-
oped menthol marketing to appeal to
youth. While aiming this charge specifi-
cally at the Newport brand, the committee
found that strategy was also adopted by
other tobacco companies. Marketing mes-
sages positioned menthol cigarettes as an
attractive starter product for newsmokers
who are unaccustomed to intense tobacco
taste. . . . The committee noted that
adolescent menthol cigarette smokers are
more dependent on nicotine than adoles-
cent non-menthol cigarette smokers.
The committee also found that the
tobacco industry cynically targeted black
people and developed specialized brands
and tailored marketing strategies to pro-
mote menthol cigarettes to African Ameri-
cans; that menthol cigarettes are dispro-
portionately marketed per capita to Afri-
can Americans; as a result, menthol
cigarettes are disproportionately smoked
by African American smokers.
More than 80 percent of black smokers
use menthol cigarettes, compared with 24
percent of white smokers. More than
47,000 black Americans die each year from
smoking-related diseases. More black
women get lung cancer than get breast
cancer, and black men are 50 percent more
likely to get lung cancer than white men
are.
Lorillard (maker of Newport, Kent and
others) and R.J. Reynolds have gone to
court to block the FDA from considering
the committees report. They allege that
the membership of the committee lacks
fair balance. That the tobacco companies
would question the integrity of committee
members after having been found by a U.S.
district judge to have lied to the American
public for 50 years about the health
hazards of smoking is beyond chutzpah.
The FDA response to the committees
recommendation will be a test of the
Obama administrations commitment to
health care and reducing its costs. In the
Tobacco Control Act, Congress found:
Reducing the use of tobacco by minors
by 50 percent would prevent well over 10
million of todays children from becom-
ing regular, daily smokers, and Such a
reduction in youth smoking would also
result in approximately $75 billion in
savings attributable to reduced health
care costs.
Aban on menthol flavoring in cigarettes
would be a slam-dunk for an administra-
tion that trumpets its commitment to
cutting health-care costs and protecting
children.

The Arab Spring calls for a U.S. policy that reflects both
BY ROBERT KAGAN
A
number of articles over the past few months have
reportedthat inside the Obamaadministration, camps of
alleged idealists and alleged pragmatists have been
duelingoverhowtorespondtotherevolutionaryupheaval inthe
Arab world. According to these accounts, the pragmatists
worry about American interests and have therefore been cau-
tious about moving away from the long-standing dictatorships
inthe region. Thus the NewYorkTimes explainedthat, inEgypt,
diplomats at the State Department favored standing by then-
President Hosni Mubarak because they viewed the Egyptian
crisis through the lens of American strategic interests in the
region.
The assumption is that the idealists dont care as much
about American interests. They just want the United States to
live up to its principles and get on the right side of history no
matter what the strategic costs.
This, of course, is nonsense. For one thing, nations, like
individuals, rarely act purely on principle or purely out of
self-interest. Nor can national interests be so neatly defined.
Access to oil is an interest, but so is the promotion of certain
principles, including democracy. The pragmatic Dean Acheson,
thensecretary of state, never doubtedthat promoting democra-
cy in Europe after World War II was profoundly in Americas
interest.
Inhis fine book, Ideals andSelf-Interest inAmericas Foreign
Relations, the late Robert Osgood made a powerful case for the
realist approachtointernational affairs. But heemphasizedthat
idealism had always been an indispensable spur to reason in
the making of foreignpolicy. As anexample, he noted that those
who had argued for a strict focus only on Americas self-interest
prior to World War II and had recommended staying out of the
war provedthemost blindtothereal requirementsof American
self-interest. The idealists, on the other hand, who were most
alarmed by the threat of fascism to Western liberal society,
immediately saw the necessity of coming to the defense of the
democracies in Europe, on whose survival American security
depended.
The question today is: What constitutes pragmatism in
todays Middle East? Was sticking with Mubarak a pragmatic,
realistic option? By the time the Obama administration got
around to supporting Mubaraks departure after two years of
pragmatically supporting him he was already finished. His
refusal to make evenmodest political reforms doomedhim, and
inthe endit was the Egyptianpeople, not the UnitedStates, who
pushed him out. Did the pragmatists want us to try to help
Mubarakstay inpower evenas great numbers of his people took
to the streets, and even as his own military refused to carry out
hisorders?Wouldthat haveservedAmericanstrategicinterests?
We tried that approach before. In the late 1970s, the Carter
administration stood by the shah of Iran until the bitter end.
That policy did not prevent, and may have aided, the course of
radical revolutioninIranandthetriumphof AyatollahRuhollah
Khomeinia strategic setbackfor the UnitedStates that dwarfs
anything that has happened since inthe Middle East.
The idealists whoarguedfor Mubaraks departure inFebru-
ary were just as concernedabout Americas strategic interests as
those who opposed it. Their pragmatic judgment was that
clinging to a failing dictatorship as it struggled brutally to
remain in power could only radicalize otherwise moderate
Egyptians. They calculated that it was better to prepare for the
inevitable next phase of Egypts political evolution than to try
futilely to stop it.
Thisappliesthroughout theregion. It isnot pragmatictocling
tothe status quoinarevolutionary era. The pragmatists worry
about therisks of easingdictators frompower andfear what may
come after. They are right toworry. But we shouldnot underesti-
mate the risks of placing American power behind the dictator-
ships intheir strugglewithanarousedpeople. Recent polls show
many Egyptians do not like the United States, but given our
complicity in their long repression, it is not surprising. Nor
should we be shocked to learn that the people of a new Egypt
tend to oppose any policy they associate with the Mubarak
dictatorship, including peace withIsrael.
We are also paying another price. The MuslimBrotherhoodis
the strongest political force in Egypt today because Mubarak
crushed the moderate, secular opposition. And we let him.
So as we look today at the other revolutionary crises in
BahrainandYemen, as well as inSyria andSaudi Arabia let us
not fall intothe trapof thinking that the apparently pragmatic
course is really the safest. It is time again to let our reason be
guided by our ideals.

Keeping health costs under control
The April 24 editorial Hobbling a watchdog, on
the need for an effective Independent Payment
Advisory Boardto helpcontrol health-care costs, was
timely and appropriate.
No matter how we ultimately pay for health care
for the elderly, we will not be able to afford it unless
we get the waste out of the system. For true
health-care reform, it is essential to have a board
made up of people experienced in successful, cost-
effective health organizations, such as patient-
centered medical homes, accountable-care organiza-
tions and hospitals that are reducing errors and
re-admissions, as well as people who are knowledge-
able in the payment incentives to bring about these
changes.
And if every suggestion of such a board is subject
to quibbling by members of Congress who are
beholden to special interest groups or those on the
philosophical political extremes, we will never
achieve an affordable system. The longer we delay
organizational and cost reform, the sooner we really
will have death panels.

Alls not fair in politics and taxes
Arthur C. Brookss paean to the merits of hard
work and perseverance was, at its heart, a salute to
the American dream of achieving financial success
[Outlook, April 24].
Nonetheless, even while praising hard work
and good ideas, Mr. Brooks admits that they do not
guarantee financial success. My guess is that more
people fail to become rich despite their hard work
than succeed at becoming wealthy. Opportunity is
just that an opportunity that does not present
itself to everyone.
Realizing that equality of opportunity does not
exist, Mr. Brooks should also recognize that those
who successfully access the limited opportunities
to become rich should be more than willing to
pay a greater share of taxes to provide a decent
social safety net for the majority who work hard
and persevere from paycheck to paycheck.
Louis Candell, Williamsburg
Arthur C. Brooks says advocates for limited

government can win the fairness argument in a
walk. He supports his claim using a public
opinion survey and psychological studies regard-
ing fairness. I am not convinced that this justifies
another tax cut for the wealthy while turning
Medicare into a voucher program in order to
balance the budget, which Rep. Paul Ryans plan
does not accomplish any time soon. I hope most
other Americans can see through this obvious
flim-flam. If we dont, then it is fair that we suffer
the consequences.

Dan Snyders fight with the City Paper
Regarding Dan Snyders April 26 op-ed, Why Im
suing the City Paper:
As the Washington Capitals continue their push
for a Stanley Cup, the Washington Redskins owner
should take the time to study their road map to
success. Smart draft-day decisions, steady leader-
ship, an owner who cares about the fan experience
and a team of gritty, talented players hungry for
victory have led to more than 100 consecutive
Verizon Center sellouts.
Perhaps Mr. Snyder should spend less time
worrying about what is being written about himand
more time about the state of his deteriorating
football franchise and its rapidly shrinking fan base.
Mark V. Crump, Arlington
I have gone to Baltimore Ravens home games for

10 years, so I have no feelings for or against the
Redskins or team owner Dan Snyder. In reading Mr.
Snyders op-ed, I must conclude that he is right. In
referringtoMr. Snyder as the same DanSnyder who
got caught forging names as a telemarketer for
Snyder Communications, the Washington City Pa-
per clearly accused Mr. Snyder of personally putting
pen to paper to forge names. I dont know how
anyone can read this sentence any other way.
This lawsuit can be easily settled by the City
Paper issuing an apology for the quoted sentence
and stating clearly that Mr. Snyder committed no
crime. By refusing to take this easy step, the City
Paper is being what many originally accused Mr.
Snyder of being: bullheaded.

Hazel Dickens, in tune with W.Va.
Thanks to The Post for that profound April 22
obituary of Hazel Dickens [Forceful voice of work-
ing class, Metro].
When Ms. Dickens sang her songs, she shared
with us the heritage of the people of West Virginia.
Family, church, community and union were all
important institutions to Ms. Dickens, and having
the opportunity to express her mountainculture as a
songwriter and bluegrass musician brought her
much joy.
Her music and her life are testaments to a rich
working-class tradition in America that too often
goes unnoticed. As she wrote, Its hard to tell the
singer fromthe song.

Guantanamo and the politics of fear
Whether it was a series of misjudgments and
missteps, as Peter Finn and Anne E. Kornblut laid out
in their April 24 front-page article, How the White
House lost on Guantanamo, or conscious and crass
political calculations, as the record of the Obama
Justice Department andWhite House couldbe argued
to demonstrate, the end result is the same: a bastard-
ization of the rule of law and a condemnation, of
particular concerninthecaseof themorethan75 men
who remain in the prison at Guantanamo Bay who
have been cleared for release, to a future of unjust
imprisonment.
While the article steered clear of laying blame at
anyones feet (instead seeming to insinuate a sort of
collective blame), when it comes to Guantanamo Bay,
thepolitics of fear andcynicismhavewonout over any
promised hope or change.

Jump-starting
growth in
Pr. Georges
A proposed fund could send
a message: The county
is open for business.
R
USHERNL. BAKER III, sworn in as Prince
Georges County executive in December,
has made a strong start in repairing the
scandal-stained localitys reputation. Since
the indictment of his predecessor, Jack B. Johnson,
on corruption charges, Mr. Baker has pushed
through a package of ethics reforms that will help
restore public and business confidence. He has
recruited top-flight managers. In the face of still
deeply depressed property values and extremely
tight budget projections, hehas offeredarestrained,
responsiblespendingplanfor thecomingfiscal year.
One of Mr. Bakers key initiatives is a $50 million
fund that would direct loans, and possibly some
grants, to small businesses that he hopes will
jump-start projects around the county, particularly
near Metro stations, many of which remain strand-
ed in sleepy neighborhoods devoid of shops, restau-
rants and other businesses. The idea, in addition to
creating jobs, is to trigger commercial growth in a
county that is over-dependent on residential prop-
erty taxes.
Many jurisdictions face a similar quandary, but it
has proved especially problematic in Prince
Georges. In most of the D.C. area, property values
have stageda rally inthe past year; by contrast, they
have continued to sink in Prince Georges, where
home prices dropped more than 13 percent in the
year that ended in February. In the absence of a
vibrant commercial sector, wobbly housing values
translate into leaner budgets for schools, social
services and other vital government services.
Along withhis ethics reforms, the message of Mr.
Bakers newfund, knownas the Economic Develop-
ment Initiative, is that Prince Georges is once again
openfor business only this time, instark contrast
to the all-too-recent past, businesses wont have to
grease the palms of County Council members and
their pals in order to have a fair shot. Under Mr.
Bakers proposal, the fund would allocate loans and
grants according to strict and transparent criteria.
Approvals for grants and loans would be insulated
from political pressure by a financial review com-
mittee whose members would be chosen by the
countys chief administrative officer.
As part of Mr. Bakers budget proposal, the
initiative will need approval from the council. It
shouldnt be ahardsell. The $50millionfundwould
come from a one-time appropriation from the
countys excess reserves, and it would be self-sus-
taining since repayment would be expected on the
loans.
Still, there are rumblings that the council may
want a say in the approval process for loans and
grants. Mr. Baker should resist. To be sure, the
current council, a majority of which was newly
elected in November, is an improvement over its
predecessor. But the bitter experience with politi-
cians steering cash to friends and allies is exactly
what has given Prince Georges a bad name in the
business community. Why open the door to repeat-
ing that?
Mr. Baker has other fights onhis hands. Acritical
one is with the unions of county government
workers, which are insisting that the council ap-
prove a 2 percent pay raise embedded in a contract
they signed with Mr. Johnson just before his term
expired. Extrapolated to the countys whole public
employee workforce, that would add at least $12
million annually to the countys projected structur-
al deficits. Mr. Baker is right that PrinceGeorges can
ill afford to deepen an already precarious fiscal
problemby taking onmore ongoing fixedcosts. The
council, which is divided on the issue, should take
note.
TOM TOLES
A new national security team
President Obama chooses proven performers, but the policies may prove controversial.
P
RESIDENT OBAMAS new choices for his
national securityteamhaveprovenrecords
of success and strong bipartisan support.
Leon Panetta and Gen. David H. Petraeus
should win easy confirmation to posts as
defense secretary and CIAdirector. Lt. Gen. John R.
Allen is a strong candidate to replace Gen. Petraeus
as the commander in Afghanistan. Ryan C. Crocker
has been the most capable American envoy of the
post-Sept. 11 era; Mr. Obama persuadedhimto leave
academia, whence he had retired, and return to
diplomatic service as ambassador to Afghanistan.
The president deserves credit for seeking out highly
qualified as opposed to politically reliable
candidates to take on the grave challenges the
country faces abroad.
This doesnt mean the nominees wont engender
some controversy or merit careful questioning from
Congress. Gen. Petraeus and Mr. Panetta appear
likely to reinforce policy choices by Mr. Obama that
are open to debate. Gen. Petraeus has been a strong
supporter of paramilitary activities by the CIA,
including drone strikes against al-Qaeda and Tali-
ban targets in Pakistan that have greatly escalated
since Mr. Obama took office. While we believe those
operations are necessary, they have contributed to a
deteriorationof U.S. relations withPakistan.
AsCIAdirector, Gen. Petraeuswill overseenot just
those ground activities but also the intelligence
analysis that is crucial to effective policymaking
aboutIran, NorthKoreaandotherhard-to-penetrate
states. Some note that his assessments as a military
commander of Iraq and Afghanistan have some-
times been at odds with those of his new agency
thoughinIraq, at least, Gen. Petraeusprovedcorrect.
Mr. Panetta is a veteran budget manager with
scant military experience. So it is hard to avoid the
conclusion that a chief mission for him at the
Pentagon will be finding the $400 billion in budget
cuts that Mr. Obama called for recently. While some
trims are inevitable, outgoing Defense Secretary
Robert M. Gates has rightlywarnedthat slashingthe
defensebudget tosolvethecountrys fiscal problems
wouldbedangerous. Mr. Panettawill needtodemon-
strate that reductions make sense from a national
security perspective.
Perhaps the greatest riskof the reshuffle comes in
Afghanistan, where the departure of Gen. Petraeus
will remove Americas most skilled military com-
mander from a campaign that appears to be teeter-
ing between success and failure. Lt. Gen. Allen,
however, was a key contributor to the successful
turnaroundof thewarinIraq; andMr. Crockeroffers
a major improvement over his predecessor, Karl
Eikenberry, who contributed substantially to the
souring of U.S. relations with Afghan President
HamidKarzai.
With the Taliban on the defensive militarily,
strengtheningtheAfghangovernment andnegotiat-
ing a U.S.-Afghan strategic alliance may be the most
critical task of the coming year. Mr. Crocker, who
helped fashion the U.S. strategic pact with Iraq, has
rightly emphasized the need for sustained U.S. en-
gagement in both countries. We hope that in asking
himtoreturntoKabul, Mr. Obamawill fully support
that imperative.
Gas price fantasies
Political talk wont have any impact at the pump.
P
RESIDENT OBAMA has taken to mocking
politicians who, the minute gasoline prices
go up, release unrealistic plans that wont
lower prices but will allow Washington to
appear tobedoingsomething. Exhibit Amight be. . .
President Obama, whose Justice Department last
week announced an interagency working group to
lookintofraudinoil markets. We will be vigilant in
monitoringtheoil andgas markets for anywrongdo-
ing, saidAttorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.
What kind of illegal activity does the administra-
tionsuspect? The workinggrouphas atellingly wide
purview, apparently reviewing the work of specula-
tors, wholesalers and retailers, but Justices an-
nouncement was thinondetails.
This wont be the first administration to look for
someone anyone! who might be responsible for
pushing up gas prices. President George W. Bush
demanded that the Federal Trade Commissioncom-
plete two studies about gas price spikes in2005 and
2006, looking in particular for price gouging. Un-
surprisingly, the FTCdidnt find anything nefarious,
anditsprobesdidnt insulateRepublicansfromvoter
backlash, either.
The president this time seems to want to focus on
speculators. But does he reallythinkthis inquirywill
reveal major, illegal price manipulation rather
than the typically volatile operation of a huge com-
modities market? Not according toa letter he sent to
congressional leaders onTuesday, inwhichhe wrote
that increased global demand and unrest and
supply disruptions in the Middle East are driving
price increases.
The presidents other policy response asking
Congress this week to end about $4 billion in tax
incentivesforoil companiesisattractiveonitsown
merits, thoughit wouldnt lower gas prices, either.
Republicans are also reluctant to acknowledge
reality. Among other things, GOP lawmakers say
they can lower gas prices by opening areas of the
Outer Continental Shelf to offshore drilling, even
thoughit wouldtakeyearsforexplorationtoproduce
extra oil. With these sorts of implausible claims,
Republicans aremakinggas prices amajor avenueof
attackagainst Democratsheadinginto2012, onlytoo
happy to see the presidents poll numbers swoon as
prices rise.
The president is right when he says there is no
silver bullet that can bring down gas prices. But
thats not a message that anyone in Washington
seems eager tostickwith.
LOCAL OPINIONS
When calls to 911 go unanswered . . .
I was surprisedby the April 24front-page story
911 services disconnect with technology. Invest-
ing in new 911 technology that can receive text
messages is well and good, but I hope Maryland
first works to ensure that all voice calls reach
emergency services.
I was one of the hundreds of stranded drivers
in Montgomery County who contributed to the
10,000 failed 911 calls during the Jan. 26 blizzard.
On that day, during my commute from Washing-
ton to Columbia, my car broke down in Silver
Spring, right in the middle of four lanes of heavy
traffic. I spent two hours waiting for a tow truck
and watching cars slip around me on the slick
roads before I made my first 911 call and heard
my first busy signal. I heardthe same busy signal a
dozen times over the next six hours before my
cellphone battery died, and I decided to abandon
my vehicle and find shelter for the night.
I was lucky that evening. There were many
other 911 callers who were unable to access
emergency services including a Montgomery
County family that listenedto a 911 busy signal for
30 minutes while watching their house burn
down. Verizon, thesoleprovider of 911 call services
in Maryland, has taken responsibility for the
missed 911 calls, and, according to the Maryland
Public Service Commission, the company may
have broken state law by not reporting network
failures to Maryland emergency call centers on at
least four separate occasions dating to July 2010.
As this article pointed out, there are situations
when 911 text messaging technology may be safer
andmoreeffectivethantraditional voicecalls. But
that effort shouldnt distract from ensuring that
Marylanders calls for help no longer go unan-
swered.

The new facts of life
Fiction is quickly trumping reality for Obama
BY AUTUMN BREWINGTON
london
T
he flags and flowers and security fences
are in place. A half-ton maple has been
situated in Westminster Abbey, along
withsevenother trees toline the altar. Protest-
ers have been warned, some arrested. Tweets
and texts fromthe church have been prohibit-
ed.
The wedding of Prince William and Kate
Middleton has arrived, and Britain its royal
family in particular wants to get this one
right. It is time for happily ever after.
Three decades ago, millions watched as
20-year-old Lady Diana Spencer emerged
from the Glass Coach in a voluminous ivory
gown to marry Prince Charles. Here is the
stuff of which fairy tales are made, the
archbishop of Canterbury intoned and the
world delighted in believing him.
But that fairy tale was not to be.
Is this one?
The dazzling smiles of William and Kate
radiate on street corners, shining out from
gilded plates, mugs, party masks and T-shirts.
Retailers offer Union Jack party supplies.
Some whose products cant be branded Wil-
liam or Kate and even PEZ dispensers and
air-sickness bags have been branded William
and Kate are getting in on the action by
labeling toiletries royally gorgeous and
cause for celebration.
Britainshouldbe goodat fairy tales. It is the
land of Shakespeare. Of knights and lore and
tradition. But this is alsothe age of budget cuts
and compromise, coalition politics. The em-
pire has become the commonwealth, and the
taint of class is divisive enough that the prime
ministers advisers considered sending himto
the royal wedding in a suit rather than the
formal wear that might remind voters of his
pedigreed background.
Since William and Kates engagement was
announced in November, the public has de-
bated who should foot the bill (both families
are contributing to ceremony costs, with tax-
payers picking up security expenses, or the
great majority of the tab), the scale of the event
(technically not a state affair), the guest list
(Two words: no Obama?). The bride-to-bes
status as a commoner has stoked discussion
and discomfort over classism. This wedding is
scaled down from royal weddings past in that
the couple are riding to the church in cars, not
horse-drawn carriages.
And the ever-growing media coverage has
threatened to eclipse the event itself. On
Thursdayafternoon, journalists outnumbered
campers outside Westminster Abbey. Customs
workers this week asked arriving Americans
who cited the royal wedding as the reason for
their visit, Are you here to cover it or to watch
it? Men wearing black T-shirts emblazoned
anti-royal reporter circulate, doing man-on-
the-street interviews.
For many, even those who dont plan to
watch Friday, even those who arent British
but merely fans of the monarchy, a royal
wedding is still a national event in which to
take pride.
And for some, the biggest source of pride
may be that this is not a fairy tale at all but an
ordinary courtship in extraordinary circum-
stances effectively, two college sweethearts
who dated for years, broke up, got back
together, datedsome more andfinally decided
to tie the knot.
In all the media coverage of William and
Kate andquite a lot has beensaidabout how
their story is not that of Charles and Diana;
how Kate is older, better educated and more
confident than the late princess of Wales was
at the time of her marriage; how these two
know what they are getting into they have
done just one public interview and deter-
minedly conducted their courtship away from
the media.
But last month, during a public appearance
in Northern Ireland, an 11-year-old girl said to
Kate, Youre a very lucky lady. Imso jealous!
Kate replied: I amlucky. Hes a very nice man,
and Im looking forward to spending the rest
of my life with him.

W
ell, that was weird.
Lets see: The Arab
world is in tumult, with
worrying signs that a Libya-style
descent into civil war may be
happening in Syria, where the
stakes are unimaginably higher.
Nearby, the warring Palestinian
factions, Hamas and Fatah, may
be forming a united front. Closer
to home, new leaders are being
tapped for the Pentagon and the
CIA. The government is fast ap-
proaching its legal debt ceiling.
Painfully high gasoline prices
have put the nation in a sour
mood. Tornadoes are wreaking
death and destruction across the
South.
So the leader of the free world
summons the media for an im-
portant announcement but
not about war, peaceor theecono-
my. Its about his birth certificate.
This just in: President Obama
has proved, yet again, that he is a
natural-borncitizenof the United
States. Which we already knew
we meaning those of us who
believe there is such a thing as
objective reality.
I include in this reality-based
group at least some of the carni-
val barkers, as Obama called
them, who have led the gullible
andthe paranoiddownthe rabbit
hole of birther conspiracy theo-
ry. Did Donald Trump ever really
believe there was a question
about Obamas birthplace? Of
course not; look how quickly he
moved on to the next bogus mys-
tery, which apparently involves
Obamas stellar academic record
a little too stellar, perhaps? A
bit too perfect?
Twouglyforces hadtocombine
to produce the birth certificate
sideshow, which can only be de-
scribed as a national disgrace.
One is a calculated attempt by
Obamas political opponents to
de-legitimize his presidency.
It seems obvious tomethat this
campaign to paint the president
as some sort of usurper this
insistence that despite winning
the popular vote by a healthy
marginandthe electoral vote by a
landslide, he wasnt reallyelected
has everything to do with race.
Does anyone disagree? Well,
just imagine what the birthers
would be saying if Obama like
his Republicanopponent in2008,
John McCain had been born in
the Panama Canal Zone. Or think
of the uproar if Obama like
George W. Bush in 2000 had
lost the popular vote but won the
electoral college.
Look, Im not surprised that
the first black president faces
unprecedented scrutiny about
his origins, and I hope Obamas
not surprised, either. This sort of
thing comes with being a historic
first, and theres no way around
it. To those deniers who cant
come to terms with the fact of the
Obama presidency, I have noth-
ing to offer but this: Yes, hes
smarter, richer, luckier andbetter
looking than you, and hes your
president. Yours, mine and ours.
And hes black. Get over it.
But race alone couldnt have
generated the whole birther phe-
nomenon. Also required was an
increasing tendency for facts to
be treated as personal accoutre-
ments, as easily adopted or dis-
carded as the newest-model
smartphone.
If a fact is inconvenient, just
ignore it. Put it aside. Surely
theres someone out there whos
selling a counterfeit version that
might be more to your liking.
The late Daniel Patrick Moyni-
hans adage that everyone is enti-
tledtohis ownopinionbut not his
own facts seems so last century.
Im not talking about competing
worldviews, Im talking about a
lack of agreement on what is
provably, objectively true and
what is not. Political polarization
is old hat. Empirical polarization
a rejection of this nations
founding Enlightenment princi-
ples is something new.
The birther lunacy is an ex-
treme case. The short-form birth
certificate that Obama released
in June 2008 was the official
document, according to Hawaii
officials. They should know,
right? Wrong, saidthedeniers, we
need the long-form certificate,
even though its not considered
official. Obama produced it
Wednesday, and that settles the
question, right? No sooner had
the president finished speaking
than a birther e-mail landed in
my inbox, headlined Case
closed? Not so fast.
But there are other examples,
some much more consequential.
The vast majority of scientists
look dispassionately at the data
and conclude that atmospheric
warming and climate change are
real. Deniers dont produce data
of their own, they just say no, no,
no and attack the scientists
political views, rather than their
research.
Rodney King famously asked,
People, I just want to say, you
know, can we all get along? If we
decide theres no difference be-
tween fact and opinion, then
surely the sad answer is no.

Submitting to bigotry
BY CEDRIC MOBLEY
I
completely understand that
President Obama released his
long-form birth certificate
so people would start focusing
on the serious business before
us.
But in his place, I dont think I
would have done so, and the
reason has to do with the indig-
nity of it all. Obama worked hard
to get into Columbia and Har-
vard and then to
be elected senator
and president.
Shouldnt that be
enough?
I, like others in
my generation of
African Ameri-
cans, have always
chafed when my
parents said that
black people have
to be twice as
good. Why? Excellence for its
own sake is a virtue, but its use
just to prove something to others
is offensive.
I now understand the mean-
ing of Im not even going to
dignify that with a response. I
feel that, by acknowledging the
questions about his background,
questions no other presidential
candidate has ever had to an-
swer, he gave those questions
legitimacy. He empowered rac-
ists all over the country to raise
ridiculous challenges to the cre-
dentials and competence of Afri-
can Americans when they cant
block us out by any other means.
Its called racism.
Until Wednesday, what
Obama said by not saying any-
thing spoke volumes.
In my native South, blacks
historically had to take ridicu-
lous tests to vote. Quick, tell me
how many jelly beans are in this
jar or how many bubbles are in
this bar of soap? In other words,
they could never be good
enough.
We have come so far as a
country. But if we arent careful,
we will slide right back down
into the muck from which we
came.
Pat Buchanan and Donald
Trump have gone so far as to
question how Obama could even
have gotten into the prestigious
schools he graduated from. It
literally made me sick to my
stomach.
Look, I know that the presi-
dent has big fish to fry the
budget deficit and three wars,
not to mention being the man of
the house among four black
women. I can only imagine what
he has to deal with on a day-to-
day basis. My re-
spect for him is
almost boundless.
But heres what
I need him to
know: Even
though he may be
able to let some
things roll off his
back, how he re-
acts to the way
that he is treated
as a black man
affects all African Americans.
His aides persuaded him to
back off from his comments
regarding the stupid actions of
the police officer who arrested
Harvard professor Henry Louis
Gates Jr. in his own house. His
staff got rid of Agriculture De-
partment official Shirley Sherrod
the victim of a right-wing
blogger who distorted what she
said at an NAACP event so fast
that she had to text in her
resignation.
In short, for someone who
popularized the phrase teach-
able moment, he has been let-
ting a lot of teachable moments
slip by without teaching any-

No way to defend rights
I
ts easy to beat up on a big corporate law firm
for acting cravenly inits financial self-interest.
Inthe case of King&Spalding, the Atlanta firm
that abruptly reneged on its commitment to
defend the Defense of Marriage Act, the pummel-
ing is entirely deserved. But the bigger culprit is
the Human Rights Campaign, the gay rights
group that orchestrated the ugly pressure tactics
against King & Spalding.
Let me hasten to make a few things clear. The
Defense of Marriage Act, which bars the federal
government from accepting same-sex marriages
recognized by state law, is repugnant and, I
believe, unconstitutional. The Obama Justice
Department did the brave and correct thing in
deciding it could no longer defend the law.
But strong-arming the lawyer to drop or avoid
the unpopular client is not an acceptable tactic.
This is not, or shouldnt be, a left-right debate. It is
true whether the lawyer is defending murderers
on death row, Guantanamo detainees or a federal
law a law, it must be pointed out, that was
passed by overwhelming congressional majori-
ties and signed by a Democratic president. The
Human Rights Campaign and its allies ought to
remember: Not solong ago, firms were squeamish
about taking on gay clients or causes.
Attorney General Eric Holder correctly com-
pared the criticism of King & Spalding to attacks
onJustice Department lawyers whohadprevious-
ly represented alleged terrorists. The people who
criticized our people here at the Justice Depart-
ment were wrong then, as are the people who
criticized Paul Clement for taking the representa-
tion that hes going to continue, Holder said,
referring to the George W. Bush administration
solicitor general who commendably quit King &
Spalding rather than drop the DOMA case.
The adversary systemis premisedonthe notion
that both sides deserve vigorous and effective
advocacy in court. This carries the greatest force
when an individual accused of a crime, however
heinous, confronts the prosecutorial power of the
state, but it is true in the civil setting as well.
Indeed, one of the underpinnings of the Justice
Departments withdrawal from the case was the
assurance that members of Congress who support
the lawwould be able to make certain it enjoyed a
capable defense. The case against DOMAought to
be won on the merits not by knocking out, or
scaring off, lawyers on the other side.
The Human Rights Campaign proudly dis-
agrees. Fred Sainz, the groups communications
director, said it had an obligation to call out the
firm for aiding and abetting the defense of
discrimination against millions of people. It
contacted King &Spalding clients to alert themto
the firms representation and the conflict with its
advertised commitment to gay rights. It was
gearing up to make the case against King &
Spalding to elite law students choosing among
corporate firms.
Sainz noted that the firmpreviously sought the
gay equivalent of the Good Housekeeping seal of
approval from the Human Rights Campaign,
obtaining a 95 percent rating on its corporate
equality index. Representing or defending a
statute that is the equivalent of a declaration of
war against gay and lesbian people is not consis-
tent withmarketing yourself as being goodfor gay
and lesbian families, Sainz told me.
The strongest argument for the Human Rights
Campaign is to substitute race for sexual orienta-
tion and ask: Should lawyers who defended
anti-miscegenationstatutes or segregatedschools
have been vilified? Isnt some representation
beyond the pale? If this case were about race or
gender, no law firm in the country would have
taken it, Sainz said. So why is it appropriate to
make gay and lesbian families collateral dam-
age?
But the logical implication of Sainzs argument
is that cases such as Brown v. Board of Education
or Loving v. Virginia (the ruling striking down
bans on interracial marriage) get decided by
default literally. No lawyer, in his preferred
world, would be willing to make the argument.
I completely understand that people will not
have liked this, Sainz said. But I can assure you
there are a lot of law firms and companies that
took notice of what happenedandwill think twice
in the future about taking on a matter that is so
clearly injurious to American families.
Sainz cheers the chilling effect. I find it, well,
chilling. I want to see DOMA struck down after
the courts hear the best possible argument in its
defense.

Leading
from
behind
The Obama Doctrine
Obamamaybe movingtowardsome-
thing resembling a doctrine. One of his
advisers described the presidents ac-
tions in Libya as leading from be-
hind.
Ryan Lizza, the New Yorker, May
2 issue
T
o be precise, leading frombehind
is a style, not a doctrine. Doc-
trines involve ideas, but since
there are no discernible ones that make
sense of Obama foreign policy Liz-
zas painstaking two-year chronicle
shows it to be as ad hoc, erratic and
confused as it appears this will have
to do.
And it surely is an accurate descrip-
tion, from President Obamas shocking
passivity during Irans 2009 GreenRev-
olutiontohis dithering onLibya, acting
at the very last moment, then handing
off to a bickering coalition, yielding the
current bloody stalemate. Its been a
foreign policy of hesitation, delay and
indecision, marked by plaintive ap-
peals to the (fictional) international
community to do what only America
can.
But underlying that style, assures
this Obama adviser, there really are
ideas. Indeed, two unspoken beliefs,
explains Lizza. That the relative power
of the U.S. is declining, as rivals like
China rise, andthat the U.S. is reviledin
many parts of the world.
Amazing. This is whyObamais delib-
erately diminishing American pres-
ence, standing and leadership in the
world?
Take proposition one: We must lead
frombehind becauseU.S. relativepow-
er is declining. Even if you accept the
premise, its a complete non sequitur.
What does Chinas rising GDP have to
do with American buck-passing on Lib-
ya, misjudging Iran, appeasing Syria?
True, Chinais rising. But first, it is the
only power of any significance rising
militarily relative to us. Russia is recov-
ering fromlevels of military strengthso
lowthat it barely registers globally. And
European power is in true decline (see
Europes performance excepting the
British in Afghanistan and its cur-
rent misadventures in Libya).
And second, the challenge of a rising
Chinese military is still exclusively re-
gional. It would affect a war over Tai-
wan. It has zero effect on anything
significantly beyond Chinas coast. Chi-
na has no blue-water navy. It has no
foreign bases. It cannot project power
globally. It might in the future but by
what logic should that paralyze us to-
day?
Proposition two: We must lead from
behindbecause we are reviled. Pray tell,
when were we not? During Vietnam?
Or earlier, under Eisenhower? When
his vice president was sent on a good-
will trip to Latin America, he was spat
upon and so threatened by the crowds
that he had to cut short his trip. Or
maybe later, under the blessedReagan?
The Reagan years were marked by vast
demonstrations in the capitals of our
closest allies denouncing America as a
warmongering menace taking the
world into nuclear winter.
Obama came of age politically, ex-
plains Lizza, during the post-Cold War
era, a time when Americas unmatched
power created widespread resent-
ment. But the world did not beginwith
the coming to consciousness of Barack
Obama. Cold War resentments ran just
as deep.
It is the fate of any assertive super-
power to be envied, denounced and
blamed for everything under the sun.
Nothing has changed. Moreover, for a
country so deeply reviled, why during
the massive unrest in Tunisia, Egypt,
Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan and Syria have
anti-American demonstrations been
such a rarity?
Who truly reviles America the hege-
mon? The world that Obama lived in
and shaped himintellectually: the elite
universities; his Hyde Park milieu (in-
cluding his not-to-be-mentioned
friends, William Ayers and Bernardine
Dohrn); the church he attended for two
decades, ringing with sermons more
virulently anti-American than any-
thing heard in todays full-throated up-
rising of the Arab Street.
It is the liberal elites who revile the
American colossus and devoutly wish
to see it cut down to size. Leading from
behind diminishing Americas global
standing and assertiveness is a reac-
tion to their view of America, not the
worlds.
Other presidents have taken anti-
Americanism as a given, rather than
evidence of American malignancy, be-
lieving as do most Americans in
the rightness of our cause and the
nobility of our intentions. Obama
thinks anti-Americanismis a verdict on
Americas fitness for leadership. I
would suggest that leading from be-
hind is a verdict on Obamas fitness
for leadership.
Leading from behind is not leading.
It is abdicating. It is also an oxymoron.
Yet a sympathetic journalist, channel-
ing an Obama adviser, elevates it to a
doctrine. The president is no doubt
flattered. The rest of us are merely
stunned.

Metros budget deficit is ex-
pected to be $6 million less than
originally projected, down from
$72 million to $66 million for the
fiscal year that begins in July,
Metro General Manager Richard
Sarles said Thursday.
The positive financial news
will provide Metros Board of
Directors with greater options as
it weighs how to close the gap in
Metros $1.4 billion operating
budget.
Metro will hold public hear-
ings May 16-19 in Maryland,
Virginia and the District to solic-
it comment from riders on possi-
ble budget-cutting measures.
Those options include reduc-
tions in weekend rail service that
would save Metro about
$6.6 million. The cuts would
increase the time between trains
on Saturday and Sunday by five
to six minutes during the day and
up to 25 minutes after 9:30 p.m.
Sarles told the board at a
meeting Thursday that the
$6 million reduction in the defi-
cit came from two main sources.
Metros projected expenses are
$2 million lower than expected
when the budget was unveiled in
January, he said. In addition, a
slight improvement in the jobs
data used in Metros econometric
models pushed ridership and
revenue projections up by
$4 million.
Rising gas prices will probably
further increase ridership and
revenue, Sarles said, although
gas prices so far have not pro-
duced any quantifiable ridership
gains.
We are doing better on rider-
ship, he said, with the numbers
more closely approaching Met-
ros budget projections.
Metro suffered significant de-
clines in bus ridership earlier in
the year and smaller shortfalls in
rail ridership, and the actual
ridership figures remain below
budget projections. Metro said
the unemployment rate was a
major contributor, but a fare
increase implemented last year
also depressed ridership.

a new bipartisan compromise on

Senate Democrats bowed to a gu-

proposal they adopted this month
without Republican support.
The Senates map, the result of
three days of sometimes-conten-

would result in districts that di-

It would also make the states
40 Senate districts more competi-

McDonnell (R) said that the
changes satisfiedhis concerns and
that hewouldsignthebill intolaw.
It is a great improvement over
the previous plan that I vetoed,
McDonnell said in a statement.

slipped into Thursday evening as

among themselves over whether
to support a plan hammered out

The attorney for an emotional-

school student who says she be-
came pregnant during a relation-

Thursday that four other women
have come forward to report that
the same instructor had inappro-
priate sexual contact with them
when they were students in other
school systems.
Their stories appear in an
amended complaint filed Thurs-
day in the U.S. District Court in
the District of Columbia onbehalf
of Ayanna Blue, a former student
at the Transition Academy at
Shadd. She filed suit in Septem-
ber, seeking unspecified mone-
tary damages from the teacher,
Robert Weismiller, the D.C.
school systemand former schools
chancellor Michelle A. Rhee.
Weismiller was one of more
than 200 teachers laid off during
an October 2009 budget crunch.
Rhee alluded to Weismillers case
in a February 2010 interviewwith
Fast Company magazine in which
she described her rationale for
the layoffs.
The District has moved to have
the case dismissed on several
grounds, including the conten-
tion that Rhee cannot be held
personally liable for acting in her
official capacity as chancellor.
The motion is pending.
The four other women are not
named in the complaint. But
Blues attorney, Scott Gilbert, said
three have agreed to offer sworn
testimony if needed.
Weismiller, who has residences

The pitfalls of
unpaid internships
Q: I was interestedinanunpaidinternshipto gain
experience incomputer-generatedimagery, plus
obtainfuture references. However, their
employment contract was too restrictive, so I passed
onit.
After talking about the interviewwithfriends, I
nowquestiontheir reasonfor evenhaving the
internship. They just wantedoutput to meet a short-
termobligation.
Shouldone approachunpaidwork witha basic
assumptionthat they want something for nothing?
Perlin: I think youve got it about right. Its going
to be a very rare scenario inwhichaninterndoing
real work shouldnot be paidminimumwage.
Anemployer offering unpaidinternships should
be able to present a well-considered, intensive,
structuredtraining programotherwise, usually
best to steer clear.
Morrison: It looks like this internshipwas witha
for-profit company andnot connectedto any course
work, whichmakes it almost certainly unlawful
unless they were paying minimumwage.
Practices like that also harmother workers, who
are looking for real jobs to support themselves, and
taking it wouldbe unfair to them.
Most internships withgovernment agencies and
nonprofits do not replace existing workers andwhen
they say they have no money to pay you, they really
dont.
Q: Youneedinternships to get a job, but I needto
work at a place that actually pays money to
meet the bills. So I cant get these internships. AndI
cant get ahead.
Do unpaidinternships unfairly favor richkids?
Andwhat canthe more lower- andmiddle-class kids
like me do about it?
Perlin: This is definitely the vicious cycle that
many young people are caught in: Youneed
experience to get experience, andthe only way inis
to offer upyour labor for free.
If paidinternships are too hardto get it inyour
particular field, youcanstill distinguishyourself in
other ways, throughregular paidwork, talking to
andnetworking withrelevant people, learning
particular skills, job shadowing, research, registered
apprenticeship(depending onthe field) and
straight-uphustle.
I think employers will still take note of talented,
ambitious people evenif they havent done
internships.

Post staffers took questions about finding fun this weekend in the D.C. area
during a live chat with readers Thursday on PostLocal.com.
Crossing a line
in Ward 8
E
very legislative body in the country is now
pondering redrawing their boundaries,
and the process typically goes like this:
Legislators get together with their buddies, and
they draw lines that have one aim above all: to
keep as many friendly voters in their own
districts as possible.
The D.C. Councils Marion Barry (D-Ward 8)
is going about things in a different way. He is
dead set on annexing into his bailiwick citizens
who have very little interest in voting for him.
We dont need in 2011 an all-segregated
ward, he said Wednesday. Thats anti-
democratic.
He represents an area whose name has
become a shorthand for social and economic
decay. In D.C., Ward 8 has long had the same
ring as Skid Row in Los Angeles, Roxbury in
Boston or the Lower Ninth in New Orleans a
shorthand for poverty, unemployment,
fatherless families, bad schools and poor health.
Barry would like to polish the Ward 8 brand
by going west redrawing its boundaries to
include what are now revitalizing parts of Ward
6, just across the Anacostia River. Call it
manifest destiny, Marion Barry-style.
What we need is diversity, Barry said. We
need economic diversity; we need racial
diversity.
Theres a reason he mentioned economic
diversity first. Barry is eyeing the portions of
Ward 6 that hes eyeing the Southwest
Waterfront and the area in Southeast near
Nationals Park in part because they happen
to be home to some of the largest-scale
development efforts the city has ever seen.
As soon as this bill is signed, the Akridges
and the Deborah [Ratner Salzbergs] and others,
theyll be part of Ward 8, he said, referring to
two prominent developers who are active in the
ballpark area. So when they go to a meeting
somewhere, theyll talk about the Yards a
major project by Salzbergs Forest City
Washington and theyll say the Yards are in
Ward 8. People will get an instant change of
perception.
Have no doubt that Ward 8 has been left
behind by the wave of development that has
swept the city in the past decade. But the first
wisps of investment are plain to see. Shuttered
housing projects have become middle-class
oases in what had been deserts of poverty. New
homeowners in Anacostia are sprucing up a
neighborhood every bit as quaint as Capitol
Hill. And the massive redevelopment of St.
Elizabeths Hospital now underway stands to
pump untold dollars into the ward economy.
Barry is more preoccupied with his wards
dismal present than its promising future, quick
as always to rattle off all the unsettling statistics
that illustrate Ward 8s marginalization. Since I
represent a 98 percent African American ward
with 55, 54 percent poverty, with 82 percent
female head of households, then I have to
advocate for that strongly, he said, though
census figures show that his ward is actually
93.5 percent black. But when I have some
diversity, then I can reflect some of the views of
the diverse population.
Bring a small chunk of Ward 8 across the
river, he says, and things will change fast.
When I talk about Ward 8, Ill be able to talk
about how we went from $25,000 average
family income to $35,000 or something like
that. . . . I can talk about poverty rates that are
going way down. I can talk about this being a
very diverse community.
Will Barrys boundaries become reality?
Ward 8, having lost population over the past
decade, has to grow somehow. But there are less
controversial ways to make that happen. Barry
has no direct role in the councils line-drawing
three of his colleagues are charged with
coming up with a map, which all 13 council
members will then vote on.
Michael A. Brown (I-At large), who is
chairing the redistricting panel, says it is too
early to tell whether Barrys proposal has any
legs. Other council members privately doubt
that Ward 8 will ever cross the river. But Barry
says he will not vote for a redistricting plan that
keeps Ward 8 completely east of the Anacostia.
He also says he will consider suing his
colleagues if he doesnt get his way.
Barry has mustered dozens of residents to
come down to the John A. Wilson Building and
testify in support of a bicoastal Ward 8
(including a couple, it turns out, that dont even
live in the city). But his would-be constituents
in Ward 6 have been just as vocal in denouncing
Barrys expansionist ambitions.
Mary Williams, who lives across from
Nationals Park on South Capitol Street, joined
many of her neighbors in speaking out against
the move at a hearing this week, saying it would
dilute our political voice.
If we are absorbed into Ward 7 or Ward 8,
we will not solve Ward 7 or Ward 8s problems,
she said. It will not overcome the poverty of
Ward 8 or Ward 7. It will not contribute to the
. . . reduction of unemployment in that area. It
will not educate the people of Ward 7 or Ward
8.

The University of Maryland at
College Park must retain more of
the states top students, recruit
more aggressively in other coun-
tries and turn more of its research
into business if it is to continue its
upward trajectory, President Wal-
lace D. Loh said Thursday at his
inaugurationceremony.
Loh has been on the job for six
months and used his formal inau-
guration to unveil his chief priori-
ties, developed through listening
sessions with students, faculty
members andcommunity leaders.
If there is one promise I want
tomaketoyoutoday, hesaid, it is
this: We will stay the course inour
rise to excellence.
Loh said that over the next 10
years, the university will add
4,000 students between its Col-
lege Park and Shady Grove cam-
puses and will increase by one-
third the graduates it produces in
science, technology, engineering
andmath.
He praised a recent Board of
Regents decisiontosupport a Pur-
ple Line Metro station in College
Park and promised that the com-
munity would benefit from a new
towncenter oneast campus.
He alsoannouncedthe creation
of a center for innovation and
entrepreneurship, which he de-
scribed as a one-stop concierge
service for faculty members who
want to capitalize on their re-
search. He said the university, led
by his predecessor, C.D. Dan
Mote Jr., will raise $60 million for
the center, and he set a goal of
creating100newcompaniesinthe
next 10 years.
Onthe international front, Loh,
who was born in China and raised
in Peru, said College Park lags
behind its peer universities in at-
tracting the best students from
other countries. He said the uni-
versity must market its proximity
to Washington to such students.
He alsocalledonMarylandathlet-
ic teams to serve as ambassadors
by playing inother countries.
How cool is that? he said.
Think of all the Chinese fans who
couldlearnto fear the turtle.
Loh spoke about howhis immi-
grant experience he arrived for
college in Iowa with $300 in his
pocket andlittlecommandof Eng-
lish taught him the power of
education.
My personal story is of no con-
sequence other than as a broader
story of this nations promise, he
said. Its a story for every young
personwho cangrowupthinking,
If he canmake it, so canI.
Despite his optimistic plans,
Loh has encountered bumps and
surprises during his first school
year in College Park. He presided
over the decision to replace foot-
ball coach Ralph Friedgen. Last
month, he learned that state Sen-
ate President Thomas V. Mike
Miller Jr. (D-Calvert) wanted the
regents to study a possible merger
betweenCollege Parkandthe Uni-
versity of Marylandat Baltimore.
Loh said Thursday that he

Baltimore Sun
BY PATRICIA SULLIVAN
An investigation by a nonprofit
housing advocacy group found
that D.C. landlords or rental
agents refused or imposed illegal
conditions on 45 percent of rent-
ers wanting touse federal housing
vouchers.
The Equal Rights Center, which
hadconductedasimilar investiga-
tion five years ago, said Thursday
that intestsat 91 rental properties,
landlords refusedtorent to15 per-
cent of applicants who offered the
vouchers as payment and tried to
impose illegal conditions on an
additional 30 percent who pre-
sentedthe vouchers.
One landlord imposed a re-
quirement that a voucher holder
had to make $64,000 a year in
order to a rent an apartment cost-
ing $1,300 a month, said Don
Kahl, the centers executive direc-
tor. Applicants for the voucher
programtypicallyhaveincomes of
less than $30,000 for a family of
four.
Such actions are illegal under
the D.C. HumanRights Act, which
prohibitslandlordsfromdiscrimi-
nating because a renter wants to
pay using various types of funds,
including government vouchers.
The Equal Rights Center acts as
an advocate on behalf of people
who face discrimination and will
take a complaint against a land-
lord to the D.C. Office of Human
Rights. But people seeking hous-
ing are often reluctant to make
complaints. The vouchers are
good for only 90 days, with up to
two 30-day extensions available.
Those who dont find housing in
that period lose the voucher and
have to rejoin a waiting list of
34,717 families to get it again.
About 11,000 families in the Dis-
trict use the vouchers.
Gustavo F. Velasquez, director
of the Human Rights Office, said
complaintsof housingdiscrimina-
tion based on a persons income
have gone upinthe past fewyears.
By far the most common com-
plaint is discrimination based on
disability, Velasquez said.
Five years ago, a similar investi-
gation by the center found that
landlords refused or tried to limit
the use of vouchers by 61 percent
of applicants; since then, more
than 20 agreements between the
center and property owners or
managers opened more than
15,000 apartments to voucher
holders.
While there has beenimprove-
ment, voucher holders still face
major barriers in finding decent
housing, Kahl said.
In the past five years, the Equal
Rights Center and the Human
Rights Office have trained hous-
ing seekers and landlords and
property managers, attempting to
educate everyone about their
rights and obligations. More than
20 enforcement actions were
launched, although none has re-
sulted in a fine, Velasquez said. A
potential tenant may also sue in
civil court.
The Equal Rights Centers in-
vestigation involved trained civil
rights testers posing as housing
voucher users who contacted a
property owner or manager to be
sure an apartment was still avail-
able andpricedas advertised.
The properties were in all four
quadrants of the city and ranged
in size from efficiencies to two-
bedroomunits. The choice of who
would be contacted was not a sci-
entifically random sample, and
there was no indication whether
the landlords who were reached
were versed in the anti-discrimi-
nationhousing law.
In 14 of 91 tests, landlords re-
fused to rent to people offering
vouchers. One housing provider
immediately hung up the phone
when a tester asked whether a
voucher could be used to pay the
rent; another said he did not be-
lieve in vouchers. In other in-
stances, a landlord claimed his
property had reached its quota
of voucher holders, and another
wrongly said that vouchers pro-
vided by the renter had to cover
the entire cost of the rent.

Montgomery says it would rather pay education penalty
BY MICHAEL LARIS
In a maneuver with implica-
tions for local schools and labor
politics, the Montgomery County
Council announced Thursday
that it would rather pay a multi-
million dollar penalty than com-
ply with what officials consider
unreasonable state education
spending requirements.
Facing a $300 million budget
deficit, council members are try-
ing to spread this years budget
pain beyond the county govern-
ment to Montgomerys public
school system, a controversial
move in a county where officials
and the broader public generally
consider stellar schools the top
priority.
Montgomerys school budget
is set to increase in the budget
year that starts July 1 because of
a rise instate funding to help deal
with growing enrollments. But
with council officials considering
cuts in human services, fire and
rescue, and other budgets, they
have been pushing the school
system to accept more of that
burden. For example, they want
school employees to accept cuts
in benefits to help offset sharp
reductions in health and retire-
ment benefits proposed by Coun-
ty Executive Isiah Leggett (D).
A council move Thursday
marked a turning point in that
broader debate. A unanimous
council joined reluctantly by
Leggett sent a letter to the
Maryland State Board of Educa-
tion saying it will not seek a
waiver from the states mainte-
nance of effort law, which
requires local governments to
spend at least as much per pupil
from year to year. The countys
move is essentially an acknowl-
edgment that it isnt going to
follow the rule.
Estimates of the penalty for
failing to keep up in next years
budget range from$26 million to
more than $29 million, officials
said. The county successfully lob-
bied in Annapolis to delay any
potential penalty for a year and
said it would continue fighting
against it. Leggett had argued
against the letter because of his
concerns about the penalty, offi-
cials said, but he agreed to pres-
ent a united front.
Montgomery officials argue
that they have exceeded that
minimum spending amount by
hundreds of millions of dollars
over the past decade and should
be given flexibility in unusually
tough budget times. But schools
officials say they need more
funds to maintain excellence in
the growing system.
Council President Valerie Er-
vin (D-Silver Spring), a former
school board member, said the
county must, in essence, reset
per-pupil spending at a lower
level so that an expanding school
budget doesnt starve the rest of
county government.
Board of Education President
Christopher S. Barclay (Silver
Spring) said the move was a
disappointing and costly viola-
tion of state law.

City gets a C grade for care of its trees

which is billed as the only inde-

C for 2010, dropping from 2009s
grade of B-minus.
The lower grade is due inlarge
part to the F assigned to tree
protection, the D.C.-based non-

The organization takes partic-
ular issue with city officials who
moved $539,000 froma tree fund
to the general fund because of a
serious local budget shortfall.

THE FEDERAL WORKER
Report argues not all prison guards are protected equally
B
eing a prison guard is
dangerous work. But life
could be a little less
hazardous for federal
correctional officers if the
Bureau of Prisons provided more
protective gear.
Thats the word fromthe
American Federation of
Government Employees, which
is using a Government
Accountability Office report to
press for additional resources.
Correctional officers are
unarmed, violence is increasing
and the inmate population has
increased, said Bryan Lowry,
president of the unions Council
of Prison Locals. Protective
equipment such as batons and
pepper spray would greatly
enhance officer safety.
This has been a long-standing
complaint by the union, and the
report gives themmore
ammunition:
States have discretion over
the equipment they make
available to their officers, and
officials in the 14 states with
whomwe spoke provided
examples of three types of
equipment they allowtheir
officers to carry while on duty
that BOP generally does not,
including pepper spray and
batons, GAOsaid. In addition,
officials from9 of the 14 states
reported that they allowtheir
officers to store personal
firearms that they have carried
when commuting to and from
work on facility property, which
BOP generally does not.
Its worth noting, however,
that GAOsaid it knows of no
evaluations on the effectiveness
of equipment in ensuring officer
safety. And 14 states is far froma
majority of the 50.
The union also urged the
administration and Congress to
continue the Federal Prison
Industries work programfor
inmates.
It helps keep 18,972 prison
inmates productively occupied in
labor-intensive activities,
thereby reducing inmate idleness
and the violence associated with
that idleness, according to the
labor organization. It also
provides strong incentives to
encourage good inmate
behavior.
The Bureau of Prisons did not
respond to a request for
comment.
The labor of telework
In its Guide to Telework in
the Federal Government, the
Office of Personnel Management
provides managers and
employees with information on
implementing the telework law
that took effect in December.
As with everything in
government, Uncle Samhas a
series of hurdles that must be
jumped before something as
simple as working fromhome is
allowed.
No matter if staffers work
fromhome regularly or only on
special occasions, they must
first successfully complete an
interactive telework training
programprovided by the agency
and must enter into a written
agreement with his/her
supervisor.
Although the lawand the 40-
page guide encourage telework,
the OPMdocument also says, in
boldface type, telework is not an
employee right.
In case employees had any
other ideas, the booklet reminds
them, again in boldface,
telework is primarily an
arrangement established to
facilitate the accomplishment of
work.
By June 7, each executive
agency is required to establish a
telework policy and notify all
workers of telework eligibility,
according to the report. But dont
confuse eligibility with
participation. Determination of
eligibility for individual workers
is at the discretion of agencies.
There are only two categories
of employees deemed ineligible
by law: those who have been
disciplined for being absent
without permission for more
than five days in a year, and those
disciplined for downloading or
exchanging pornography on a
government computer.
Presumably that covers only a
small number of workers.
IRSs plainspokenness
You can say lots of things
about the IRS, but dont accuse it
of using bad language, though it
has been the target of profanity
more than once.
The agency was presented
with a Grand ClearMark Award
on Thursday night by the Center
of Plain Language for easy-to-
followdirections on two forms.
The IRS has worked hard to
overcome its image with
Americans, and these two
revised forms are a sign that the
IRS has changed, said Annetta
Cheek, who chairs the centers
board.
The judges cited use of the
active voice and the words we
and you to help the agency
personally connect with
taxpayers as reasons for
honoring the IRS. The forms, still
with government code names
CP08 and CP21A, can be found at
www.irs.gov.
The Defense Department also
was cited by the center but as a
finalist for the WonderMark
Award, which is given for the
most confounding language.
Read, if you can make your
way through it, this 86-word
sentence on the Defense
Department formthat caught the
centers attention:
In cases when the user has
consented to content searching
or monitoring of
communications or data for
personnel misconduct, law
enforcement, or
counterintelligence investigative
searching, (i.e., for all
communications and data other
than privileged communications
or data that are related to
personal representation or
services by attorneys,
psychotherapists, or clergy, and
their assistants), the U.S.
Government may, solely at its
discretion and in accordance
with DoDpolicy, elect to apply a
privilege or other restriction on
the U.S. Governments otherwise-
authorized use or disclosure of
such information.
Enough said. Make that too
much said.

Postal Service workers
accept buyout offers
BY ED OKEEFE
staffers at the U.S. Postal Service
are taking buyout offers and leav-
ing as part of a plan to eliminate
7,500 managerial and postmaster
positions.
The employees working in
the finance, marketing, sales, cus-
tomer service and operational
units applied for a $20,000
buyout package by Mondays
deadline, according to Tony Vegli-
ante, the Postal Services top hu-
man resources official. He said
many of the employees work at
Postal Service headquarters in
Washington.
The buyout sumwill be paid in
two installments one this No-
vember and one in November
2012.
The Postal Service announced
plans this year to eliminate the
jobs through buyouts, layoffs and
by not filling vacant positions.
Many of the remaining 1,100 ad-
ministrative jobs that must be
eliminatedwill be cut withvacan-
cies.
As vacancies have come open
in the last few months, weve not
filled them and weve counted
them towards the reduction,
Vegliante said Thursday. Its a
matter of incentivizing people to
leave and a matter of putting
people in jobs that we need in the
future and taking them out of
ones weve decided to reduce.
An additional 2,800 front-line
supervisor positions should be
eliminated by July and 2,000
postmaster jobs will be eliminat-
ed by March, Vegliante said, not-
ing that the cuts should save
about $750 million.
The Postal Service employs
about 571,000 full- and part-time
workers but has cut about
234,000jobs inthe past decade as
workers left on their own or ac-
cepted early retirement offers.
As part of the cuts, the Postal
Service is closing seven district
offices across the country and a
larger regional office inMemphis.
The Postal Service is expecting
at least $7 billion in losses by the
end of its fiscal year in September
as mail volume continues to de-
cline.
Brits put their stamp on U.S.
Apparently no place is safe
from the royal wedding. Even the
U.S. Postal Service has gotten into
the act in a move that might have
made Benjamin Franklin, the
first postmaster general, shudder.
On Thursday, the Postal Ser-
vice agreed to sell official com-
memorative wedding merchan-
dise produced by the United
Kingdoms Royal Mail.
Postal customers can visit
USPS.com/shop to purchase a
limited supply of royal collect-
ibles, including a brochure,
sheets of stamps, and envelopes
with the official wedding post-
mark and stamps.
A brochure selling for $7.95
features the two official engage-
ment portraits by photographer
Mario Testino. Sheets of the offi-
cial stamps with Prince William
and Kate Middleton cost $6.95.
Anenvelope withthe official wed-
ding postmark, a wedding roses
Forever stamp and two royal
wedding stamps issued by Royal
Mail costs $4.95.
Stamp collecting remains a
popular global pastime, and
stamp sales generate $250 mil-
lion to $300 million annually for
the Postal Service.

well as other incidents involving
customers.
In the latest incident, a 52-
year-old woman fell into an open
escalator access hatch at the
Pentagon Station on April 20,
suffering a knee injury and lacer-
ation to her chin. She was hospi-
talized and released April 22.
Metro officials said that the
hatch should not have been left
open and that two Metro escala-
tor technicians were fired after
the incident.

Q&A
Tracking the devastation fromNOAA stormcenter
BY JASON SAMENOW
Greg Carbinis the warning coor-
dination meteorologist at the Na-
tional Oceanic and Atmosphere
Administrations Storm Prediction
Center (SPC) in Norman, Okla.,
which has 43 employees, including
more than 20 meteorologists. This
federal center issues forecasts and
watches for severe thunderstorms
and tornadoes across the entire
United States.
In his job, Carbin reaches out to
reporters, emergency managers,
and private and government me-
teorologists to provide them with
reliable information and messag-
es about severe weather. We talked
with Carbin about his experience
during Wednesdays devastating
tornado outbreak in the South.
Q.
Describe what Wednes-
daywaslikeat theStorm
Prediction Center.
[It] was a quiet day in
terms of interacting with the me-
dia. It was kind of the lull before
the storm. It was kind of eerie.
But when I looked at the
weather maps, it was screaming
there would be a significant se-
vere weather outbreak within
hours, especially in Mississippi/
Alabama. When I did interviews,
I started using words and lan-
guage Ive never used before, like
significant long-track torna-
does and violent tornadoes
words designed to make people
pay attention.
Do you think you played up
the risk enough?
Yes. What we try to do is ramp
up in communicating the risk. Its
very difficult to pull back cry-wolf
forecasts. What works best is a
gradual approach. Otherwise,
youhave the potential towarntoo
often.
Why has this tornado season
been so bad?
Whats really occurred in April
2011 is a convergence of circum-
stances, some predictable, some
not. We know April/May are ac-
tive months for severe weather.
April is usually the most active
month. With that as a starting
point, superimpose an atmo-
spheric pattern that favors storm
development over the central U.S.
Thats essentially what weve seen
an active jet stream . . . thats
remained [stationary]. The atmo-
sphere does that sometimes.
Should we expect a continua-
tion of active severe weather?
There will be tornadoes inMay.
But to use April as a predictor for
activity in the month of May will
fail. . . . The correlation between
April and May tornadoes is al-
most nonexistent.
Howwell do you think SPCdid
its job? Did it provide sufficient
warning and lead time?
Let me preface by saying Im
very sympathetic to what Missis-
sippi and Alabama have to be
dealing withinthe coming weeks.
The loss of life is very humbling to
see. We do this work because we
dont want to see that.
The messaging and the fore-
cast was good. We did our job and
didit as well as we couldgiventhe
technology we have. Its mind-
boggling to contemplate how far
weve come in forecasting since
the Super Outbreak in 1974. The
advances are amazing.
We want to figure out what we
can do to better get the word out.
There are many unknowns about
the circumstances that led to the
fatalities. We need to know why
people died and how.

Events set for MLKstatue dedication
4 days of activities
celebrating memorial
to include public expo

After contentious negotiations, Va. assembly reaches deal on new legislative boundaries
gates into alignment with popula-
tion shifts detailed in the 2010
Census. Northern Virginia would
gain a new Senate seat and three
newdelegates under the proposal.
In the House, delegates voted
80to9for aredrawnmapof its 100
districts after making a handful of
small changes from its original
plan by unsplitting precincts in
Norfolk and the Richmond area.
The Senate deal marked a re-
markable turnaround for the
chambers majority Democrats,
who had belligerently pledged af-
ter McDonnells veto not to
change a comma of their plan,
daring the governor to reject the
proposal again and toss a stale-
mated redistricting to the courts.
virginia from B1 The only thing hes going to
accept is absolute surrender on
the part of the Democrats of the
Senate of Virginia and hes not
going to get it, Saslaw said of
McDonnell the day the veto was
announced.
But senators became convinced
that a court case could result in a
map they would like less than one
negotiated with Republicans. A
plodding court case also would
haveleft legislators inlimbo, with-
out established districts and un-
able to start campaigning for the
November elections.
One mans cave-in is another
mans compromise, said Sen. J.
Chapman Chap Petersen (D-
Fairfax).
Saslaw, known for his often-
blunt demeanor, suggested that
his uncompromising tone had
partly been a negotiating tool to
win the best deal. But he also said
the public suggestion that Demo-
crats wouldnever make adeal had
likely been unwise.
It was probably one of my nu-
merous inappropriate remarks,
he said.
Many legislators had assumed
that McDonnell would not veto
the map, because doing so re-
quiredhimtoanger fellowRepub-
licans by also rejecting a plan
drawn by the GOP-led House of
Delegates.
But McDonnell swept those
concerns aside and vetoed both
maps, indicating that he thought
the Democrat-devised Senate
plan may violate state and federal
laws.
He also contrasted the Senates
party line 22 to 18 vote onthe map
with the bipartisan support
achieved in the House, which had
adopted its redistricting plan on a
86 to 8 vote.
McDonnell said Attorney Gen-
eral Ken Cuccinelli II (R) has con-
ductedapreliminaryreviewof the
compromise and thinks that it
passes legal muster.
McDonnells vetoseems tohave
had its desired effect, forcing Sen-
ate Democrats to renegotiate. The
breakthrough came as Democrats
agreed to shift a new district that
had been drawn in the Richmond
area to the west, which would
benefit Republicans. In exchange,
Republican senators agreed that
the Hampton Roads area would
loseaSenateseat becauseof popu-
lation loss.
But the compromise map
would retain two Republican
seats in Virginia Beach instead of
merging them, a Democratic pro-
posal that had upset Republicans.
Instead it would place two Re-
publicans in the Chesapeake area
Sen. Harry B. Blevins and Sen.
Frederick M. Quayle into the
same district and merge the dis-
tricts of the Roanoke-Lynchburg
regions Republican senators,
Ralph K. Smith and Sen. Stephen
D. Newman.
Prince William County would
be represented by five senators
instead of six, a change intended
to satisfy complaints from county
leaders that the area was being
splintered.
And the new district drawn to
accommodate Northern Virgin-
ias explosive growth would in-
clude more of Prince William and
Loudoun County and no longer
stretch west in Clarke County.
The three new House seats in
Northern Virginia would include
two seats largely centered in the
growing counties of Loudoun and
Prince William and one that in-
cludes another portion of Prince
Williamand a part of Stafford.
The deal was driven by a quick-
ly approaching deadline: The
state must submit its plan to the
U.S. Department of Justice intime
for a 60-day review to ensure that
the maps do not dilute the power
of black voters and violate the
1965 Voting Rights Act.

PETULA DVORAK
It was simply sweet.
We were too young, back then,
to see the foreboding of tragedy
when the engaged couple
answered reporters questions on
whether theyre in love.
Of course, Diana said.
Whatever in love means,
Charles snapped back.
Uh-oh.
After their kids came the
affairs. And the bulimia. And the
depression.
There was the whole
Squidgy period.
Diana became our cautionary
tale.
As women watched the horror
showof that fantasy marriage
unfold, they were waiting longer
to get married, entering college
at ever-increasing rates and
beginning to dominate the
nations workforce.
By the time Diana and Charles
separated, in 1992, the average
age of American women when
they walked down the aisle was
24. The riveting women in
sequins we watched on TV were
Tanya Harding and Nancy
Kerrigan. And the big procession
that captured Americas
attention was O.J. in that white
Bronco.
No, thanks. We didnt need a
royal fantasy.
When Diana and Charles
formally divorced, in 1996, a
book called Feminist Fairy Tales
was published, Alanis Morisette
sang about Ironic things in
weddings and chardonnay, and
the average age that women
married edged closer to 25.
Thats about the time we
packed away that Prince
Charming myth for good. A
knight in shining armor? Meh.
Well take the wonk with the
masters degree and shiny,
balding head.
The moment we learned that
Diana died in that Paris crash
became the where-were-you-
when-Reagan-was-shot instant
for loads of women. Just ask
shell remember.
I was in a tapas restaurant in
San Francisco. Our waiter told
us. A friend of mine crumpled
like a meringue; she was
completely devastated by Dianas
death. I ordered her more
dvorak from B1 sangria.
So the next year, Carrie
Bradshawand the girls of Sex
and the City became our new
royalty.
Then we made entertainment
out of reality-showbridezillas
who aspired to their own
Princess Wedding Fantasies.
Freaks!
Come 2011, deprived of royalty
for so many years and ready to
acknowledge that the Sex and
the City movies should probably
stop now, we are presented with
a newprincess.
Kate Middleton went to
college, and shes a commoner.
She and Prince Williammet at
school, which is a plus in our
wiser, more skeptical eyes. She
caught his eye when she was
modeling underwear at a charity
fashion show. (I wonder if thatll
make it into the next Disney
Princess book.)
Anyway, theyve been together
for a while; he does some of the
cooking, shes spent time in the
workforce and is apparently well
aware of his follicular future.
Shes even older than himby half
a year, 29 to his 28.
This royal couple seems more
familiar to us, more realistic.
The average age of the
American bride is about 26 today,
though its probably higher in
this area. Here, 26-year-olds are
still joining kickball leagues
while getting their advanced
degrees in international affairs.
They are more into debating U.S.-
China policy and less into
picking out a china pattern.
Just this week, the Census
Bureau told us that not only are
women outpacing men in college
enrollment, but for the first
time ever women also hold
more advanced college degrees
and bachelor degrees than men.
So, Ms. Smartypants: Whats
up with all these vapid royal
wedding princess parties? One
Washington momcomplained
online that four guests to her 1-
year-olds birthday bash are
dropping out in favor of a DVRed
wedding watch.
Maybe this is just the girly
version of being a Redskins fan,
certain that if you cheer loud
enough, itll work out this time.
Optimistic? Or just delusional?

Attorney: Four others report sexual contact with teacher
1976 when they were students at
Gwynn Park High School in
Prince Georges County. Weismill-
er, who they said taught P.E. and
drivers education, allegedly
drove one of the students several
times to a motel, where they had
sex, according to the lawsuit. Two
classmates who were aware of
that alleged relationship in-
formed the students parents,
who notified the principal. It is
not clear what action, if any, was
taken against Weismiller.
The complaint does not say
why the women did not come
forward previously.
The complaint also alleges that
Weismiller had improper contact
in 1984 with two eighth-grade
girls at Fred Lynn Middle School
in Prince William County. In an
interview with at Gilberts D.C.
office Thursday, one of the two
said Weismiller surprised her in a
remote section of the school and
stuck his tongue in her mouth.
That episode, she said, followed
months of provocative comments
during gym class.
The woman said Weismiller
moved on to Woodbridge High
School, where she enrolled the
teacher from B1
next year. She said she com-
plained to an administrator there
about Weismillers inappropriate
comments. Court documents
show that he and Prince William
school officials were sued in 1986
by the families of several students
a suit that was settled on terms
that were not publicly disclosed.
It was not possible Thursday to
corroborate the womens ac-
counts through the Prince
Georges and Prince William
school systems.
I cant verify immediately that
this is all factual, but Im not
saying I have any reason to be-
lieve otherwise, said Ken Black-
stone, a spokesman for Prince
William schools.
D.C. school officials did not
respond to questions about what
kind of background checks were
performed when Weismiller was
hired.
Blue, now20, broke her silence
Thursday, speaking publicly for
the first time about her relation-
ship with Weismiller, her English
teacher at Shadd in fall 2008. He
came up to me and whispered to
me, If I was 30 years younger, I
would marry you, she said. He
was 58 at the time.
It really creeped me out, she
said in an interview at Gilberts
office as her 15-month-old daugh-
ter played in the hallway outside.
But Blue, unhappy about being
moved to Shadd after attending
Spingarn High School, said she
began to confide in Weismiller. In
November 2008, she said, he of-
fered her a ride to a Metro station
but drove her instead to a vacant
lot, where they had sex for the
first time. He told me not to tell
anyone, she said, because he
could lose his job and his mar-
riage.
The relationshipcontinuedun-
til spring 2009, she said, with the
two meeting in a darkened class-
room and in cars. Her lawsuit
says the relationship was com-
mon knowledge among Shadd
teachers and administrators.
They knewabout it and didnt
do anything, she said.
The relationship ended, Blue
said, when she confided in a
friend that she thought she was
pregnant by Weismiller. The
friend informed school staff
members, and school system re-
cords show that Weismiller was
placed on administrative leave.
The records show he denied any
relationship with Blue.
Rhee later said an internal
investigation was inconclusive,
calling it a he-said-she-said.
Gilbert said Thursday that
Weismiller is paying child sup-
port to Blue, who lives in a family
shelter with her daughter.
Blue said she is speaking out to
encourage students who have
been abused by teachers to come
forward.
I dont want this to happen to
anyone else in the school system,
she said.

OBITUARIES
PHOEBESNOW, 60
Powerful singer of
hit Poetry Man
BY MATT SCHUDEL
Phoebe Snow, 60, a dynamic
singer who found early success in
1975 with her hit Poetry Man
and then retreated into obscurity
to care for her disabled daughter,
died April 26 at a hospital in
Edison, N.J. She had complica-
tions from a brain hemorrhage
suffered in January 2010.
Ms. Snow emerged from the
folk-music cafes of New Yorks
Greenwich Village with her 1974
debut album, Phoebe Snow,
which vaulted her into pop star-
dom. The albumreached No. 4 on
the Billboard charts, and Ms.
Snow was nominated for a Gram-
my Award as best newartist.
She wrote the albums hit sin-
gle, Poetry Man, which rose to
No. 5 on the pop charts in 1975.
Asked to explain the songs mean-
ing Homes that place some-
where you go each day to see your
wife, shesings near theendMs.
Snow told a CBS interviewer in
2008: Well, obviously, I was hav-
ing an affair with a married man,
dont you think?
Although she was identified
with the singer-songwriter move-
ment of the 1970s, Ms. Snow was
definedmore by her rich, versatile
vocal quality thanby her material.
She had a clear, supple voice with
a range of more than four octaves
and had a singing style that em-
braced folk, jazz, rock, blues and
soul all at once.
Ive been influenced by every
single one of those musical
forms, she told the Chicago Tri-
bune in 1989. To sit there and say
I amthis or I amthat is limiting.
Her first album featured jazz
musicians Teddy Wilson and Zoot
Sims, andher secondalbum, Sec-
ond Childhood (1976), spanned
the spectrum from original com-
positions toGershwintoMotown.
Some later recordings shaded
more toward rock-and-roll, and
Ms. Snowwas knownfor her pow-
erful live renditions of classic pop
and rhythm-and-blues tunes in
concert, including Sam Cookes
You Send Me and Piece of My
Heart, madefamous byJanis Jop-
lin.
Ms. Snowhad two gold records
by the time she was 26, appeared
on Saturday Night Live and re-
cordedduets withPaul Simonand
Jackson Browne. She made the
cover of Rolling Stone magazine,
which pronounced her voice a
natural wonder.
At the peak of her fame, in
December 1975, she gave birthtoa
daughter, Valerie Rose, who had
severe brain damage and other
disabilities. Ms. Snowmarriedher
daughters father, Phil Kearns, but
they were divorced in 1979.
Despite advice to place Valerie
in an institution, Ms. Snow put
her career aside to care for her
daughter. As her record sales fell,
Ms. Snow repeatedly changed la-
bels and got caught in a protract-
ed series of music-industry law-
suits.
Throughmuchof the1980s, she
fell silent. She recorded a come-
back album, Something Real, in
1989 and took jobs singing adver-
tising jingles for such companies
as Stouffers, Michelob, Kodak,
Quaker Oats, AT&T, Hallmark,
Exxon and General Foods.
I faded away for a while out of
necessity, Ms. Snow told the Los
Angeles Times in 1998. In hind-
sight, I missed out on some good
or productive years. On the other
hand . . . I really made the only
choice I could under the circum-
stances.
Phoebe Ann Laub was born in
NewYorkCityonJuly17, 1950, and
grew up in Teaneck, N.J. (Some
reference sources mistakenly give
her birth year as 1952.)
Through her mother, a dancer
and part of a bohemian NewYork
crowd, Ms. Snow met folk singers
Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie at
a young age. Her early musical
influences included blues singers
and Judy Garland, and her first
ambition was to become the
greatest woman guitarist alive. I
had fantasies about being a fe-
male Jimi Hendrix.
Shelater said, I cant playthese
guitar lines, but maybe I can sing
them. I tried to sing the way a
guitar sounds and the way a saxo-
phone sounds too.
She dropped out of Shimer Col-
lege in Mount Carroll, Ill., and
began singing in Greenwich Vil-
lage coffeehouses, taking her
stagenamefromapassenger train
that rumbled past her NewJersey
home on the Erie Lackawanna
line.
In March 2007, Ms. Snows
daughter died at 31. When she
beganto performagain, Ms. Snow
always took a moment to tell the
audience about her daughters
life.
She was the only thing that
was holdingme together, she told
the San Francisco Chronicle in
2008. My life was her, completely
about her, from the moment I
woke up to the moment I went to
bed at night.

Early in the spring.

Temperatures are going to be close to
normal with highs reaching the upper
60s to near 70. The problem is winds
from the west at 10 to 20 mph. So a sunny
morning is probably going to cloud up in
the afternoon because of the very cold air
a few thousand feet overhead.

News, trafc,
weather. Now.
In the early 1960s, Alexandria
bought the African Americans
properties for next to nothing or
condemned the places for not
having indoor plumbing as part
of an urban renewal program,
forcing the people off their land.
Fort Ward Park was established
then. City workers used the park
to re-create the forts dirt
ramparts, or earthworks, in time
for the 100th anniversary of the
Civil War. But after that, the
cemetery was never adequately
maintained.
Terrell said she was horrified
to find her ancestors cemetery
being used as a dog park. She still
lives in Alexandria, as do many
other descendants of the
Seminary community. It took a
year of residents complaints
before the city removed heavy
trucks and trash bins parked
near known graves in a city
maintenance yard in Fort Ward
Park. A greenhouse in the park
could be sitting on more graves.
Storm water has led to the
desecration of other burial sites.
The city didnt care . . . the
interest just wasnt there, Terrell
said. If it had been another
cemetery, theyd be out there in a
months time.
Twenty-two unmarked graves
were found this winter by
archaeologists in the
maintenance yard on the west
side of the park, just outside the
fenced Oakland Baptist Church
cemetery.
We want our heritage back,
said Adrienne Washington, 61,
whose ancestors helped build the
Seminary neighborhood. We
worked the land. We love the
land. We are buried on the land.
Restoration costs
Restoring their heritage,
identifying unmarked graves and
renovating the park could cost
more than $2 million, city
officials said. No money was set
aside for the park in City
Manager James K. Hartmanns
fiscal 2012 budget.
Alexandria City Council
members agree that $75,000 for
the second stage of archaeological
work should be included in the
fiscal 2012 budget. The council
also directed city staff to look at
moving the park to the top of a list
of projects to receive some of the
citys designated storm water
funds to stop erosion in the
cemetery and other areas.
The council must operate
cemetery from B1
under the citys fiscal realities,
which include a crowded school
system, costly employee pensions
and pressing transportation
needs, said council member Rob
Krupicka (D). The budget is
expected to be finalized in May,
with a business tax increase
under consideration.
Seventy-five thousand dollars
doesnt move the ball forward
very far, said Vice Mayor Kerry
Donley (D), who used to picnic in
the park as a child and called
recent revelations about its
neglect a real eye-opener.
Donley said reprioritizing storm
water funds makes a substantial
investment and gets us to the
point to start other
improvements in the event of the
sesquicentennial.
In addition to the 22 grave
sites found during the first stage
of the archaeological study,
which covered 20 percent of the
park last year, archaeologists
found the footprint of the school,
which was built in 1898. They
also found evidence of homes,
privies and personal artifacts a
Civil War-era belt buckle and
even a 1930s windup toy.
The $75,000 would fund the
next portion of the study, which
would continue to locate graves
and other historical markers in
the rest of the park.
Money for the study also could
match funds required for a
federal grant the city was
awarded. The grant would pay
for an interpretive plan, proper
fencing and markers for the
newly identified graves, among
other upgrades, said Lance
Mallamo, director of the Office of
Historic Alexandria.
What the city knew and when
they knew, it wasnt appreciated to
the level of seriousness we are
taking it today, Mallamo said. In
many ways, we are tryingtocorrect
the mistakes of the past here.
A Fort Ward stakeholders
group worked for a year to
compile a 60-page report full of
renovation recommendations for
the park while focusing on the
history of not only the Civil War,
but also the people who live there.
As you learn about the
families who are buried there,
you do put context on the history
of the fort, said Thomas Fulton,
former chairman of the
stakeholders group.
The groups priorities include
grave location, storm water
repairs, a management plan and
designation of the group to
oversee the restoration. Fulton
estimated the four items would
cost $300,000.
City officials say they think the
cost could be much higher.
Once the graves are marked,
Alexandria can plan around
them to fix the storm water
runoff, which could cost up to
$750,000, said Rich Baier, the
citys chief of transportation and
environmental services.
Amaster plan for the park that
would identify all of the
recreational and historic features
could cost $150,000, said James
Spengler, director of the
Alexandria recreation and parks
department.
Council member Alicia
Hughes (I) thinks restoration of
the park must be a priority and
wants to put $300,000 in the
budget to fund the stakeholder
groups four priorities.
Once you discover things are
wrong . . . that knowledge is an
obligation to fix it, especially
when it exists for groups of
people who have traditionally
not been treated well throughout
the course of history, she said. It
takes special care to repair those
things. We knowabout it now. We
fix it now. Certain things you
dont have questions about, you
just write the check.
Remembrances
Elizabeth Douglas, who says
she is about 89 years old, attended
grammar school up the fort. She
remembers the red mud that was
King Street and how she admired
the families in the area who
worked at the seminary and
Episcopal High School.
It was nothing in the world
but country, and everybody had
cattle, she said. They had hogs
and horse-and-buggies, and then
they had wagons.
She remembers playing
among the gravestones in Clara
Adamss back yard. The Adams
family gave some of its land for
the school, close to where she was
buried in 1952. Her grave and her
husbands unmarked grave are in
the maintenance yard.
Douglas said she went to City
Hall several times in the early
1960s to complain that
gravestones were being stolen.
As far as I can count, this
community has been upset by the
city three times, Douglas said.
The city took land from her
friends and neighbors through
the years, not only to build Fort
Ward Park, but also to construct
T.C. Williams High School nearby
and to pave and widen King
Street, she said.
A few residents fought for
more money when the city took
their land, but the civil rights
movement was just beginning.
Seminary was the only African
American community in West
End at that time.
Whatever government said,
do you think we were going to
fight against it? Terrell said. It
was a different era.
Pam Cressey, the citys
archaeologist, hopes to right past
wrongs. The purpose of our
inquiry is to find out what really
did happen and put the story all
together so that the families and
their histories and traditions can
be returned, she said.
Over the past two years,
Washington, chairwoman of the
Fort Ward descendants group
and a Washington Times
reporter, has been steadily
working toward that goal.
Washington, whose
grandparents address is now
that of T.C. Williams High,
worked with some community
members and a Howard
University student to create six
signs that will be placed around
the fort. They will tell park
visitors about the black Union
troops, the cemetery and the
accomplishments of the early
Seminary community. But she
wants more.
I cant tell you what it does to
you to realize your ancestors are
not honored or are being
marginalized, Washington said,
tearing up. She said the $300,000
requested by the stakeholder
group is not a high price to pay
to properly start the 35-acre
parks restoration.
One recent afternoon, she and
Terrell stood on a bridge over an
earthen wall on the west side of
the park. They looked down at
recently identified plots that
belonged to a family named
Jackson. The earthwork was
covered in periwinkle and
daffodil blooms that werent hard
to imagine in gardens planted by
their kin 100 years ago.

HELAYNE SEIDMAN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
BY PAUL CHAAT SMITH
Special to The Washington Post
They say that inEngland, 100miles is a
long distance, and in America, 100 years
is a long time. But what about when
Englandmet America? Howlong ago and
how far away was that? Calendars and
historical evidence argue that it hap-
pened nearly four centuries ago, but it
feels much longer.
Contemporary American life has little
room for real meditations on how a
handful of English
settlers, in spite of
themselves, created
the nation we live in
today. Most of us re-
member the conse-
quential decades be-
tween Plymouth
Rock and 1776 only
as flickering vi-
gnettes of pilgrims,
witches and helpful
Indians during a hol-
iday that celebrates
family dysfunction
and the NFL.
As often happens,
it falls to an outsider
to breathe life into
our past in this
case, an Australian. Geraldine Brooks,
once a foreigncorrespondent for the Wall
Street Journal and more recently a Pulit-
zer Prize-winning novelist (for March,
in 2005), writes about early America the
same way she wrote about Sarajevo and
the Middle East, which is to say very well.
The story begins with overheard whis-
pers in the dark. An English girl named
Bethia Mayfield, burning with secret de-
sires, learns that Caleb, her Wampanoag
Indian soul mate and, who knows, one
day, perhaps more will be joining the
Mayfield home. Its not clear how this is
supposed to work, since nobody has a
clue that Caleb and Bethia are even
friends, much less soul mates whove
taught each other their native tongues.
And by the way, its pretty easy for Bethia
to eavesdrop on her father and brother,
because the house has blankets for bed-
roomwalls.
Perfect setup for a situation comedy,
but there are no cheap laughs in this
17th-century New England. By Page 6,
Bethia confesses to killing her mother, to
being in Satans thrall, to eating forbid-
den fruit. She feels terrible about all that
and is desperate to redeem herself, but
shes gloomy about her prospects for
salvation.

A numbers game, with 2 billion at play
I
t has beenbreathlessly reported in
the press that nearly a third of the
worlds populationwill watch Fridays
royal wedding betweenPrince William
and Kate Middleton.
Presumably, the other two-thirds will
be too busy dodging shrapnel, or
searching for potable water, to watch the
adorable couple exchange vows at
Westminster Abbey. Hopefully, theyll
DVRit and watch later.
Its hard to tell fromwhere the press is
getting this 2 billionfigure. They did not
get this number fromNielsen. For all its
faults, Nielsendraws the line at reporting
numbers before viewers actually have
something to, um, view.
It appears to have sprung earlier this
month fromBritish Prime Minister
David Camerons spokesman, who, in
turn, pointed the finger at Culture
Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who apparently
coughed it up during a briefing at a
cabinet meeting, according to a Reuters
report.
The Culture secretary . . . said [the
wedding] is likely to be a major global
event viewed by around 2 billionpeople
around the world, the representative
said.
The worlds populationis estimated to
be 6.8 billionpeople these days.

As the latest Windsor knot is
tied, the royal family stands for
a house of undivided attention
BY ANTHONY FAIOLA
london The campers are already
here, opposite Westminster Abbey,
some pitching tents days early for a
firsthand glimpse of the most-
watched wedding on Earth. Mobs of
foreign journalists are tripping over
themselves to get the cute older couple
in the Union Jack umbrella hats and
the woman with the King Charles
spaniel in a tiara. Non-British royal
pilgrims are filling the streets of Lon-
don with Malay and Spanish, Japa-
nese and American
English.
They are here for
Prince William and
Kate Middleton, but
also the red-carpet
guests of British blue
bloods, the crowned
heads of Europe, David
Beckham and Elton
John. Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric
and Piers Morgan are on location. Tim
Gunn and his film crew have been
circling the abbey in an open carriage.
Australian cross-dresser Dame Edna,
reporting for The Tonight Show
With Jay Leno, is stalking the streets
outside, more interviewee than inter-
viewer. BuckinghamPalace, bowing to
the great American media hordes, has
agreed to turn the lights out an hour
and a half late so the TV anchors can
get extended night shots. Even the
Rulers of renown
queen nods to U.S. ratings.
Perhaps more than any other single
event, the royal wedding Friday is
exposing the members of the British
royal family for what they really are:
the original global celebrities. Despite
the occasional grumbling from lads in
the pub about those privileged free-
loaders in Buckingham Palace, three
out of four Britons still back the
monarchy. Given the worldwide me-
dia frenzy over a wedding even the
proud republic of France is going
gaga, with three national channels
broadcasting live it is easy to see
why.
Althoughthe sunset long ago onthe
British Empire, the royals, for all their
foibles, still give this quaint and foggy
land outsize importance, making it so
the eyes of the world are focused on a
marriage that would otherwise be a
28-year-old air force pilot getting
hitched to a 29-year-old Internet party
supply heiress. In the end, it works out
cheap for the British: You cannot buy
this kind of publicity.
Oh, you can see it in this wedding!
Never has one family so defined one
country, beamed Christopher War-
ren-Green, who will conduct the Lon-
don Chamber Orchestra at Westmin-
ster Abbey on Friday. Never has one
family been so well known and so
watched by the world.

ard to remember amid the

House Correspondents
Association dinner used to be a
quiet affair honoring the president and the
folks who covered him. A break from the
day-to-day grind, the night allows the
president under the guise of humor to
address the news of the day, tease the loyal
opposition (obligatory John Boehner one-
liner here) and, basically, make us like him.
Of course, some bits work better than
others. What makes a legend most? A few
WHCA presidential guidelines:
Be self-deprecating: Always a smart
move, especially when you can zing your
critics at the same time. President Obama
got big laughs in 2009 about his
teleprompter habit. Last year, it was a
birther gag: My approval ratings . . . have
just gone down. But thats politics. It
doesnt bother me. Besides, I happen to
know that my approval ratings are still very
high in the country of my birth.
Then mock the other guys: In
descending order of importance, the vice
president, chief of staff, Cabinet members
and freshmen in Congress. Happy
Mothers Day, Obama told the crowd at his
first dinner. This is a tough holiday for
Rahm Emanuel because hes not used to
saying the word day after mother.
Whats worse than being a punch line? Not
getting mentioned.
Oh no he didnt: Obama was probably
the only person who could get away with
this at the 2010 dinner: I saw Michael
Steele backstage when we were taking
pictures a.k.a. Notorious GOP. Michael,
who knows what truly plagues America
today: Taxation without representin. My
brother!
Visual aids: Painful when done poorly,
awesome if a professional film crew has
your back. Bill Clinton scored big with his
hilarious Final Days video at the 2000
dinner, which showed the lame duck
playing Battleship, riding his bike inside
the White House, washing his limo and
otherwise killing time.
Bait and switch: George W. Bushs most
memorable outings happened when he
didnt give a speech. In 2005, Laura Bush
hijacked the mike and deadpanned a 10-
minute routine. I said to him the other
day, George, if you really want to end
tyranny in the world, youre going to have
to stay up later. The next year, he teamed
up with dead-on Bush impersonator Steve
Bridges. Im absolutely delighted to be
here, said the real Bush, while his alter ego
complained, The media really ticks me off
the way they try to embarrass me by not
editing what I say.
Shout out to celebs in the house: In
2002, Bush singled out Ozzy Osbourne,
whose MTV reality series was hot then.
Osbourne stood on his chair to sop up the
attention, drawing wild cheers from the
crowd. Last year, Obama took on the Jonas
Brothers. Sasha and Malia are huge fans.
But, boys, dont get any ideas. I have two
words for you: predator drones.
How will Obama (and Saturday Night
Live comedian Seth Meyers) fare this
year? You dont need a ticket to see for
yourself: Their speeches will be broadcast
live on C-SPAN.

MUSICREVIEW
Twice the appeal: Germans violin duos
BY ROBERT BATTEY
The lunchtime crowd lucked
into a remarkable treat Thurs-
day at the National Gallery of
Art, which offered a free con-
cert featuring world-renowned
violinist Christian Tetzlaff in a
program of Franco-Belgian vio-
lin duos with Antje Weithaas, a
fellow German artist. The con-
cert, co-sponsored by the Ger-
man Embassy and the Embassy
Series, bypassed the repertoire
of Prokofiev, Bartok and Wien-
iawski, without which such a
program might seem impossi-
ble. It featured instead the
virtually unknown Sonata in A
minor by Eugene Ysaye and
duets by Jean-Marie Leclair
and Charles-Auguste de Beriot.
The sonata, a massive, al-
most symphonic work, lacks
the creativity and color of
Ysayes solo sonatas. In a way,
the composers freedom from
trying to fill the ear with one
unusual solo violin trick or
texture after another reveals a
paucity of musical invention.
The first two movements are
prolix and Franck-ian, wander-
ing around too much with too
little to do. In the finale,
though, the composer reasserts
his ability to conjure up unique
textures out of the instrument
and, delivered with such nim-
ble hands, the work ended
strong.
In the earlier, more conven-
tional works, the two artists
spun easy, gossamer lines
around each other. Intonation
was impeccable throughout,
other than the difficult, cho-
ralelike opening movement of
the Leclair.
Although Weithaas has a
much less prominent career,
her playing matched Tetzlaff s
note for note and was physical-
ly more expressive. Tetzlaff,
though, clearly had reserves of
virtuosity that he barely
tapped. Both artists play instru-
ments by the modern German
luthier Peter Greiner, but it was
fascinating how different they
sounded.

FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011 KLMNO EZ SU C3
Fortunately for us, shes also a
fabulously engaging narrator,
nothing like the dreary Manson
Girl her confessions might sug-
gest. Bethia believes her own sins
caused her mothers fatal illness a
year earlier. In addition to blam-
ing herself for asking too many
questions, Bethia regrets that she
loved the natural beauty of Mar-
thas Vineyard too much, tripped
on a hallucinogenic plant, talked
back to her obnoxious brother
andcovertly learnedLatin, Greek,
Hebrew and Wampanaontoaonk.
Bethia knows some would argue
that sheis not toblame, that Satan
took advantage of a young girl,
but shell have none of it: These
are her sins alone, and because of
them, her mother is dead, and
Bethia is probably going to hell.
Brooks shows us the immedi-
ate and all-encompassing nature
of religious belief in this world.
Its not a subject of conversation
so much as the context for every-
thing and everyone. Bethias very
name, for example, means Gods
servant. Recalling her after-
noons with Caleb when he would
instruct her about plants and ani-
mals, Bethia says, He walked
through the woods like a young
Adam, naming creation. In her
eyes, Cambridge, where Caleb
studies the classics and Bethia
mops floors, is more or less an
open sewer, while her beloved
Marthas Vineyard is an Edenic
paradise, perched at the very
book world from C1 farthest edge of the new world,
first witness to each dawn of the
turning globe. I count it no
strange thing that one may, in a
singleday, observeasunriseout of
the sea and a sunset back into it.
The Caleb of the title is based
on a real person, about whom
little is known, except that he was
a Wampanoag Indian and gradu-
ated from Harvard a century be-
fore the United States came into
existence. Despite the title, he is
not the main character and is
absent for long stretches. Thats
not a bad thing, because Bethia is
far more interesting. Alsofunnier.
Her passion for learning and for
books is illegal and dangerous,
even if the learning and books are
about Christianity and her goal is
to be closer to God. She sees her
covert friendship with Caleb as
(perhaps) part of Gods plan, yet
she must lie to her family and
pretty much everyone she knows.
Penalties for criminal behavior in
the English colonies include hav-
ing a nail hammered through
your tongue.
At the same time, Caleb is cen-
tral to the novels overt ambition
to honor the life of this historical
figure and to present a new per-
spective on 17th-century Native
American culture. Here, Brooks
succeeds andfails. It is thrilling to
see Caleb and his Wampanoag
friend debating philosophy in
Greek and Latin, switching lan-
guages in mid-conversation as
necessary. Knowledge and reli-
gious insight are precious, for
Indian and English alike. Caleb,
no passive figure, sees Christiani-
ty and European book learning as
a survival strategy for his people.
But at other times, the Indians
feel like people weve met before:
Very tall, lean in muscle, taut at
the waist and broad in the chest,
their long black hair flying and
whipping about their shoulders.
. . . Theygleamedandshoneinthe
sunlight, so that you could see the
long sinews of their thighs work-
ingas theyran. (Tobesure, not all
the Indian characters are buff
brainiacs, just the most impor-
tant ones.) And sentences such as
these seem air-dropped from an-
other, lesser novel: Their fires
had blazed up against the night
sky and the music had grown
wilder. The animal self inside me
respondedtoit. . . . The drumming
touched me in some deep, inner,
unsounded place. There, in the
dark, without even knowing my
own purpose, I commenced to
unlace my sleeves. The warm air
caressed my arms. I let fall my
hose and stood, bare armed and
bare legged like the Wampanoag
women in their short skin shifts.
My toes dug down into the sandy,
cooling earth, as my heartbeat
matched itself to the drumming.
. . . Thought ceased, and an ani-
mal sense drove me until, in the
end, I danced with abandon. The
Indian and English characters in
Calebs Crossing are so original
and compelling that I had trouble
believing the passages in which
they became familiar andpredict-
able.
Yet even when Storm Eyes, as
Caleb calls Bethia, is pursued by
an English islander named Noah
Merry, it is unfair, thoughcertain-
ly tempting, to see this drama as a
rivalry between Team Jacob and
Team Edward. There is too much
at stake in pre-modern New Eng-
land, and Brookss achievement is
that we see just howmuch that is,
for the red characters and the
white ones. They struggle every
waking moment with spiritual
questions that are as real and
unending as the punishing New
England winters.

OPERAREVIEW
The Inspector: A caricature study
Wolf Traps new opera
has a sparkling score,
but dim characters
BY ANNE MIDGETTE
Comedy is supposed to be uni-
versally appealing, but it often
stumbles up against the fact that
not everyone thinks the same
thing is funny. I was struck anew
by this at the comic opera The
Inspector, by John Musto and
Mark Campbell, which had its
world premiere at the Barns at
Wolf Trap on Wednesday night.
Midway through the opera,
whichis chockablockwithcharac-
ters portrayed as broad cartoons,
the corrupt wife of the corrupt
mayor of a small Sicilian town
launches into a description of the
shoes she will wear when she gets
to Rome: Open-toed, buckled
and bowed, beaded, bejeweled,
embroidered . . . bold and brassy!
Chic and classy! Quaint and lacy!
Slightly racy!
It goes oninthis veinfor quite a
while, and moves on to hats and
thengowns before shes done. Sar-
ah Larsen originally scheduled
as the roles cover but taking over
when Luretta Bybee had to cancel
due to illness savored the
words, rolled around the stage
and got a lot of laughter from the
audience.
For me, though, comedy is gen-
erally funnier when the charac-
ters are playing it straight, when
theyrethree-dimensional enough
that you believe in their emotions
and motivations, and they arent
simply aiming at laughs. There
wasnt anything in this aria that
toldyoumuchabout thecharacter
who was singing it, beyond that
she was greedy. (Compare Lep-
orellos aria in Don Giovanni
enumerating the different kinds
of women Giovanni likes to sleep
with, which provides a snapshot
of both the master and his ser-
vant.)
The Inspector is entirely cari-
cature: Its goal is to be a broad
slapstick. Looselybasedonashort
story by Gogol, but movedto Mus-
solini-era Italy, its the story of a
city government thrown into tur-
moil by the impending arrival of a
government inspector from
Rome, traveling incognito. Pre-
dictably, the local officials fasten
on an unsuspecting stranger, de-
cide he must be the inspector in
question, and wine, dine and
bribe him until he makes his es-
cape.
Theres a lot to like about the
show including the turntable-
based set by Erhard Rom that
makes maximumuse of the Barns
small stage, and some very strong
musical performances led by con-
ductor GlenCortese but I found
it got a little old not having any-
thing or anyone really to care
about. Your mileage, however,
may vary. Certainly, the piece was
received withaudible amusement
and warmapplause.
Therewasplentyof depthinthe
music. BothCampbellswordsand
Mustos music work with familiar
opera or musical-comedy tropes
(The Inspector has its ownGio-
vanni-like master-servant pair-
ing in the figures of Cosimo and
the romantic lead, Tancredi), but
Musto is better at bringing new
lifetothefamiliar forms. His score
is studded with dance rhythms
and patter figures and even a re-
curring Italian-film-score motif
(you can imagine a camera pan-
ning over ocher walls blurred by
the rising heat). It also draws
heavily onthe musical theater idi-
om of Bernstein and Sondheim,
rife with syncopations and catchy
but complex melodies.
The resulting music sparkles;
its also rendered witha harmonic
substance and intricacy that give
the ear a lot to enjoy every step of
the way. Happily, these perfor-
mances are being recorded for a
forthcoming CD.
And the musical gags succeed-
ed better than the words at com-
bining adroitness and broad hu-
mor. For instance: the four solo-
ists who played the four no-good
members of the town council (a
chain-smoking minister of health
played by Dorothy Byrne; a lis-
some dumb-blond bombshell of a
directress of education manage-
mentation, the creamy-voicedso-
prano Angela Mannino; a sadistic
police chief sung strongly by bass
Matt Boehler; and a cynical priest
called Padre Ruffiano, overcast
with keen tenor Javier Abreu)
kept chiming in with echoes of
one anothers observations on dif-
ferent notes of a chord, like a
warped barbershop quartet.
Leon Majors direction also
made the most out of what he had
evenif that meant simplytrying
to find ways to communicate the
relentless mugging of Campbells
texts, having the quartet pop up
and down like jack-in-the-boxes.
The other denizens of Santa
Schifezza the fictive town
where the action is set (schifo
being Italian for disgusting)
included a pair of hapless postal
workers named Bobachina (An-
dreaShokery) andBobachino(Hi-
lary Ginther, sometimes hard to
hear), who bumble about and
jumbletheir words unconvincing-
ly.
Then there were Cosimo and
Tancredi, two fugitives fromMus-
solinis Rome who are stranded
penniless in the local hotel when
the mayor finds themand decides
Tancredi is theinspector hes wait-
ing for. Here lay the pieces great-
est missedopportunityfor charac-
ter development. Bothsingersand
roles were promising: Local favor-
ite WilliamSharp (as the baritone
teacher-servant Cosimo) sang
soundly in his one big aria, but all
he was recounting was the differ-
ent foods he wouldlike toeat. And
Vale Rideout expended tenorial
ardor on his delight at the payoffs
he was getting from the Mayor.
Onlywhenconfrontedbythemay-
ors inexplicably upright daugh-
ter, Beatrice, did Tancredi reveal
his political leanings and show
himself to be more than fatuous
and shallow by which time it
was too late to get deeply involved
with his character. Even Beatrice,
though portrayed with some fine
jewel-toned singing from Anne-
Carolyn Bird as a girl eager to
escape this awful town, remained
largely a stereotype of bluestock-
inged awkwardness. And the ex-
pected romantic denouement re-
mainedoffstage. Real feelings had
no place in this piece which is
howthe creators wanted it.
The plum role went to Robert
Orth, as Mayor Fazzobaldi (say it
out loud to get the joke). The
stereotype of the greedy local po-
tentate with delusions of gran-
deur is a comedic standby, andthe
veteran Orth was able to mine it
withjust theright toneandagreat
deal of enjoyment. Indeed, he may
havebeenthedeepest character in
the whole opera andcertainly had
the most face time. He was on-
stage right through the end, when
this shaggy-dog story of an opera
concluded, to everyones credit,
with an unexpected and genuine-
ly funny punch line.

On CBS, Lara Logan
discusses attack in Cairo
BY EMILY WAX
After two months of silence,
CBS News correspondent Lara
Logan has returned to work,
and she describes in an inter-
view Sunday with 60 Minutes
the sexual assault she endured.
Logan and her crew were
reporting in Cairos Tahrir
Square about the historic fall of
Hosni Mubaraks government
when her translator heard
some of the men in the crowd
tease in Arabic that they want-
ed to take Logans pants off.
Within seconds, a powerful
mob of 200 to 300 men did just
that and sexually assaulted Lo-
gan, who was onassignment for
60 Minutes, covering the Feb
11 uprising.
Logan was grabbed away
from her bodyguard, a former
member of Britains elite mili-
tary special services. The mob
ripped off her clothes and beat
her for more than 40 minutes.
She prayed she would survive,
according to pre-released tran-
scripts of her first television
interview since the assault.
There was no doubt in my
mind that I was in the process
of dying, she tells Scott Pelley,
who conductedthe interview. I
thought not only am I going to
die, but its going to be just a
torturous death thats going to
go on forever.
The promotional clip shows
a steely and determined Logan,
interspersed with chaotic
crowd footage taken by a CBS
cameraman moments before
she was separated from her
producer, Max McClellan, and
cameraman Richard Butler by
the mob.
Logans attack ended when a
group of Egyptian women and
soldiers helped her. The sol-
diers drove her and her team
back to their hotel, according to
CBS. She returnedto the United
States the next day and was
treated in a hospital for four
days.
Logan will also appear in an
interview on the 60 Minutes
webcast,
60MinutesOvertime.com.
Her attack spotlighted the
dangers for female journalists
working abroad, especially in
countries with unfolding wars
and a crumbling rule of law
where protections for women
are stripped away and there is
often little recourse. ABCs
Christiane Amanpour and Fox
News Channels Greg Palkot
and Olaf Wiig also faced physi-
cal assault and intimidation
during the protests that swept
Mubarak fromhis post.
After Logans attack, the
Committee to Protect Journal-
ists (CPJ) began a wide study of
female journalists working
around the world and the sexu-
al violence and daily threats
they face, said Lauren Wolfe,
senior editor.
We have spokento dozens of
journalists around the world,
both local and foreign, who
have told us about instances of
sexual violence fromgroping to
rape. Logans attack ended the
code of silence about this issue,
said Wolfe, who added that Lo-
gan is on the board of CPJ.
Were also studying the treat-
ment of local women journal-
ists who live in these countries
and may endure even more
trauma.
Womenjournalists oftenfear
reporting more-daily cases of
groping and sexual violence be-
cause they dont want to be
taken off the story. Logans case
was an extreme example of the
abuse that women face cover-
ing stories.
Logan, who began her first
full day back in her 60 Min-
utes office this week, told col-
leagues that she hoped her sto-
ry would give courage to other
victims of sexual assault and
that she looked forward to re-
turning to the field.

HIGHLIGHTS
Royal wedding coverage starts
in the very early morning and
lasts all day on a slew of
networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC
America, PBS, Fox News
Channel, CNN, MSNBC, E!,
Univision, Telemundo and TLC,
to name a few), but even if you
slept through the royal
proceedings, here are a few ways
to catch up Friday night.
Missed the ceremony?
The broadcast networks can
fill you in on the details CBS
kicks things off with The Royal
Wedding: Modern Majesty (at
8 p.m.), in which soon-to-be-
departed Evening News anchor
Katie Couric takes everyone
through the big moments of the
day. Barbara Walters hosts ABCs
20/20: A Modern Fairytale
(at 9) with a special two-hour,
wedding-theme edition, and
NBC has an insta-documentary
on Dateline (at 9) reported by
Ann Curry from London. And
dont think the cable news
networks will stop Piers
Morgan Tonight (CNNat 9)
broadcasts from London, as does
On the Record with Greta Van
Susteren (Fox News Channel at
10).
Missed the fashion?
Secretly dying to see what The
Dress looked like? E! airs a one-
hour special. Fashion Police:
Royal Wedding (at 10), hosted
by Joan Rivers, along with Kelly
Osbourne, George Kotsiopoulos
and Giuliana Rancic. Also,
special guest Tori Spelling stops
by to judge the fashion, as the
panel dissects every important
outfit of the day.
Missed it on purpose?
If you knew the idea of horse-
drawn carriages and fancy hats
wasnt your thing, Kathy Griffin
takes all the elegance down a
notch or two on Kathy Griffins
Insightful and Hilarious Take
on the Royal Wedding (TV
Guide at 8), as the comedian has
a group of expert snarkologists
to help put everything in a little
perspective.
Royal wedding-ed out?
Dont worry, plenty of new
shows are on the air Friday
night, as well. Eric makes an
attempt to teach the football
team a little discipline on
Friday Night Lights (NBC at
8); Olivia goes on a vitally
important mission with Sam on
Fringe (Fox at 9); and while
Danny investigates a tourists
murder, Frank handles the pesky
reporters covering the story on
Blue Bloods (CBS at 10).
Actor John Krasinski and
comedian Brian Kiley visit Late
ShowWith David Letterman
(CBS at 11:35), along with
musical guest Steve Earle.
The Tonight ShowWith Jay
Leno (NBC at 11:35) hosts actor
Rob Lowe, actress Susan Lucci
and a performance from Moby.

THE TV COLUMN
Amid the wedding countdown, a big telecast buildup
(For comparisons sake, the 1981
wedding of Williams parents, Charles
and Diana, was reported to have been
watched by 750 millionin74 countries,
about 17 percent of the estimated
4.5 billionpeople onEarth at that time.)
Part of the funof covering big-ticket
TVevents is watching the spread of
hysterical ratings forecasts.
Back in2009, whenMichael Jackson
handed inhis dinner pail, it was
reported that 1 billionpeople around
the globe watched the singers celebrity-
spangled memorial service at the
Staples Center indowntownLos
Angeles. Except the press had begun
reporting that number before the
memorial.
Once again, the media did not get
this number fromNielsen. No, this
number, which was being swallowed in
big gulps by the press, came
compliments of AEG. AEGis the
concert promoter that was supposed to
mastermind Jacksons London
comeback concert series but instead
wound up putting together his
memorial service.
The press also reported Jacksons
memorial service would set a U.S. TV-
viewing record.
It did not.
About 31 millionpeople watched
Jacksons last act across 19 television
networks, according to Nielsen. That
was less thanhalf the crowd that had
collected infront of their sets inAugust
of 98 to watch President Bill Clinton
apologize for the Blue Dress Incident.
Still, it meant that about one inevery 10
people inthe country watched the
Jacksonsend-off.
But AEGs horseradish doesnt begin
to match that of BBCs, which, back in
97, told anequally unquestioning press
that 2.5 billionpeople around the globe
half the worlds population at the
time were going to watch Princess
Dis funeral.
That number was repeated so often
that it, too, became fact before the
funeral, and has continued to be cited as
fact ever since, living onlike aneternal
flame. As recently as this month, it was
used inthat Reuters article inwhich
Britains culture secretary unveiled the
official 2 billionviewers figure for the
wedding of Dis elder son, William, to
Middleton nearly a month before the
happy events occurrence.
Inthe United States, Nielsen
reported, after the fact, that 33 million
people did watch Dis funeral. Thats a
larger crowd thanwatched Jacksons
tv column from C1
memorial service or Ronald Reagans
funeral in 2004, which attracted an
audience of nearly 21 million.
CWs newchief
As had long beenexpected, CBS and
Warner Bros. onThursday named Mark
Pedowitz the newpresident of CW.
Hes sort of replacing Dawn Ostroff,
who is entertainment president at CW.
But while Ostroff oversaw
programming development, marketing
and publicity, Pedowitz will oversee all
that plus the business side of the
venture.
Who better thana middle-aged guy
lawyer to oversee Gossip Girl,
Vampire Diaries and Americas Next
Top Model on a network that targets
18-to-34-year-old chicks?
Were glad you asked.
Ostroff is leaving the gig to relocate to
NYCwith her family. The thought was,
CWcould use someone with major
business-affairs chops to rethink the
CWmodel, what with CWstruggling to
click ina really big, broadcast kinda
way with its target audience.
And while Pedowitz formerly was
president of ABCStudios, overseeing
such shows as Lost, Desperate
Housewives, Scrubs, Greys
Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer and
Criminal Minds, he has a strong biz
background.
For instance, he used to oversee all
business, legal and financial affairs for
the ABCnetworks prime-time
schedule, ABCs daytime schedule and
for ABC-parent Disneys television-
productiondivision, which, inthose
days, was called Touchstone TV.
He joined ABCin1991 as senior vice
president of business affairs and
contracts. Before joining ABC, he was
senior veep of business affairs at
MGM/UAs televisionproduction
division. He beganhis career inthe
entertainment industry as an attorney
at MCA.
And nowhell determine the fate of
Nikita and Hellcats which were
not among the shows CWannounced
this week it had picked up for next
seasonand are still waiting to see if
theyre getting the ax.

Dear Carolyn:
I have a high-school-age stepdaughter
with whomI have almost nothing in
common. She lives with her mother and we
see her about once a week for dinner. Her
interests are pop culture (TV, YouTube,
movies, what the stars are doing) and
fashion/beauty/shopping. She has no
hobbies, history of employment, sports or
any other activity outside school. I try to
ask about her classes, but she inevitably
says they did nothing in them, they are
boring, and the conversation stops.
When I push it and try asking something
specific, like what time period are you
studying in history, and she answers, I say
something like, What do you think about
that? and I just get, I have no idea. She
acts stupid, even though Imsure she isnt.
I hesitate to indulge in the pop-culture
conversation, partly because I ammostly
unfamiliar with it, and I find it distasteful.
One thing that will usually get her going is
to talk about a neighbor or acquaintance
(gossip works for most anyone, doesnt
it?), but I dont really want to encourage
that, either, and I often dont knowthe
people anyway. Her father finds it just as
hard as I do. Suggestions?
Stepmom
What are the chances this intelligent
kid doesnt recognize that you find her
interests beneath you? Contempt is the
cigarette smoke of opinions sure, try
to mask it, but its in your breath, your
hair, your clothes.
If you believe the quality of pop-
cultural output has degraded steadily
over the years, that just says you have
eyes and ears.
But if you believe no pop-cultural
output has value, or that no interesting
or intelligent discussion can arise from
it, then that says you have a firmly closed
mind. Theres plenty to be explored and
understood.
Your stepdaughter, for one. Dont you
want to knowwhat intrigues and
motivates her? Deciding that her tastes
represent nothing but laziness of mind
or spirit, without consuming any of what
consumes her, is a laziness of its own
intellectual, for one, and also emotional.
And, its smug.
Now, her stupid act is at least partly
designed to keep you fromtalking to her
classic phase and so trying to
engage her on celeb news might elicit the
same monosyllables. It would also verge
on pandering, which you need to avoid,
since that will repel her as surely as
smugness will (the two share much of
the same DNA).
Imalso not suggesting you pretend to
like Real Trainwrecks of Anywhere. A
forced march through media hell wont
dispose you kindly to anything.
Instead, Imadvising a love-fueled
tour of her cultural landscape,
deliberately seeking ideas, beauty or wit.
(One place to start: the online discussion
hosted on Wednesdays by my colleague
Web Hostess Monica Hesse. Its a
guided tour, by a smart person, of whats
flying around the Internet:
wapo.st/webhostess.) And just ask your
stepdaughter what she likes about X
show, Y celeb. Again with genuine
interest in knowing her, not in
confirming your lowopinion.
You probably wont even have to scare
her by mentioning great viral videos.
Merely challenging your biases might
soften your demeanor toward her,
enough for her to loosen her guard
and quash your parent-caricature
history-class queries before they reach
your lips.

CAROLYN HAX
Teens interests are a path to common ground
NICK GALIFIANAKIS FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
Austere relatively
The royals will sing for their supper
Friday, offering up a show of pomp and
circumstance as only the House of
Windsor can. Bowing to modernity and
lean times in Britain the nation is
undergoing a historic round of austerity
and budget cuts this union is billed as
an affair slimmed down from the last
royal event of this scale: the glamorous
nuptials of Williams parents, Prince
Charles and Princess Diana, in 1981.
But slimming down for the royals still
means one big to-do. A medieval abbey
dressed witha living avenue of 20-foot
maple trees, the London Chamber Or-
chestra strumming in the wings. An
early-morning rehearsal Wednesday in-
volved 1,000 military personnel, the
Royal Household Cavalry and 160 hors-
es.
Sure, William and Kate are having a
wedding buffet instead of a formal
sit-down breakfast, and the bride will
arrive in a vintage Rolls-Royce instead
of a carriage. But barring the infamous
clouds of London raining on their pa-
rade, the couple will still be hauled
through the streets after their vows in
the same open, glass carriage that
brought Diana to St. Pauls Cathedral.
For the luckiest of guests, the queen is
hosting 650 for canapes and drinks, and
Charles is having a lavish dinner for
300. Reportedly, it will be followed by
disco dancing complete with mir-
rored ball at Buckingham Palace that
night.
Charles is footing the bill for the
majority of the wedding, with the well-
to-do if non-noble Middletons chipping
in an undisclosed sum. But the British
taxpayer is still set to pick up pricey
security costs, including overtime for
the 5,000 police officers scouring the
route Friday.
For some here, that is a bone of
contention. Although the British still
overwhelmingly back the monarchy,
polls show one in three saying they do
not care about this wedding. Fed up
with the fuss, some Londoners have
used the national holiday Friday to get
out of Dodge.
But for others, the event is an echo of
the dreams dreamed in 1981, before the
marriage of Charles and Diana fell
apart, before Diana died. Royalists are
hoping William and Kate bring back
some of the luster lost after the death of
Diana, and call the state cost of the royal
wedding a small price for one heck of a
show.
I know some people say they dont
care, but honestly, I think they care
more than they admit, said Cheryl
Ptolomey, 60, camped out in front of the
abbey with her daughter and the cre-
matedremains of her mother, who was a
die-hard Diana fan. For me, I felt I had
to be here. With all the wars, with all the
austerity, I needed this. And I just had
to. This is Dianas son.
Royal coattails
You cannot put a price tag on this
family. For British brands, the royals
amount to fabulously long coattails to
ride. Take, for instance, a party this
week at Lancaster House part of St.
Jamess Palace. A soloist crooned I
Dreamed a Dream inside a gilded hall
as foreign journalists, feted with cham-
pagne and quail eggs, were invited to
shuttle past elegant booths of British
companies bestowed with a royal seal of
approval, known as a royal warrant.
Those warrants sprinkle each with a
royal stardust that sends a certain class
of commoner worldwide agog. Said
Alan Bennett, owner of the Savile Row
tailor Davies &Son, which sells suits for
up to $11,500: With foreigners, it gives
us credibility. . . . If you are a Russian
oligarch, you know where to go.
That does not mean the royals are
always a gracious or forgiving bunch.
wedding from C1
Fourteen years after Dianas funeral
when her brother seemed to rap the
family onthe wrist for its behavior the
Spencer family is still invited to Fridays
wedding. But it is seated on the brides
side. Asked to respond, a royal spokes-
woman quipped: The seating plan is as
it is; were not going to provide a
comment.
London hotels havent quite sold out,
but hotel occupancy has jumped to 82
percent for the wedding, up from 76
percent last April. They have filled up
with the likes of three Washingtonians,
aptly named Cathy, Kathryn and Kath-
erine.
One commentator on the BBC, mar-
veling that mobs of foreigners would
travel in for the wedding of British
royals, called the rush a case of the three
Fs the fixated, the fanatic and the
foolish. But for the three Kates, there is
no mystery in their pilgrimage.
Sitting in a Green Park pub and
mapping out their wedding plan, Cathy
St. Denis, a Department of Transporta-
tion worker, outlined their mission:
See the dress. See the kiss.
Kathryn Greenberg, who works in
philanthropy in Washington, tried to
further explain.
You come over to the U.K., and they
actually have princesses. Real princess-
es, she said. And we dont have to pay
for them, just enjoy them.
But Katherine Miller, a Washington
communications consultant, summed it
up: Lets be honest. Its like the World
Cup for women.

Honest images found to be untrustworthy
Pixels of imperfection
color Anne Rowlands
Landscapes
BY MARK JENKINS
G
iven enough pixels, digital
photography can produce a
vision of reality so crisp that
it approaches the unreal. At
first glimpse, such hyper-naturalism
seems to be the goal of photographer
Anne Rowlands current show, simply
titled Landscapes. The two pieces
the viewer encounters upon entering
the Hemphill gallery are views of
nature so large and literal that they
initially feel both genuine and over-
whelming.
But look more closely at View on
Snake Hill Road, Middleburg, a wall-
mounted inkjet print thats taller
than the average human. Impeccably
focused twigs border leaves that are
sort of fuzzy, and the depth of field
varies from sector to sector. It turns
out that Rowlands photography is
actually a form of photo collage.
Although the fragmentation is teas-
ingly slight, these seemingly honest
images are, in fact, untrustworthy.
Working primarily in western Lou-
doun County, not far from her child-
hood home in Great Falls, Rowland
began by photographing simple rural
scenes. The subjects are pretty, and
pretty mundane: trees, shrubs, fields,
ponds, clouds and so on, enlivened by
the occasional car or goat. But each
single picture combines multiple
close-ups. The photographer assem-
bles the individual frames upto350
for a single finished picture with
the help of a programmable camera
mount, GigaPan, originally designed
for the Mars rovers.
Some of the resulting pictures are
choppier than others. The divisions
between the segments are most no-
ticeable in View Northeast From the
Intersection of St. Louis Road and
Foxcroft Road, Middleburg, which
recalls the sort of multi-Polaroid por-
traits made in the pre-digital dark
ages. (One well-known example is the
cover of Talking Heads More Songs
About Buildings &Food.) The major-
ity of the photos, however, look seam-
less from a reasonable distance. See-
ing how the pieces fit together, or
dont quite, usually requires close
inspection. The most visible sign of
the artists presence is the shadow of
her tripod and compact Leica digital
camera, which is apparent in several
of the pictures.
The individual frames are not al-
ways shot fromexactly the same spot,
so the finished work may combine
multiple perspectives on an identical
scene. This is not a new technique;
you can see it in the Venice: Canal-
etto and His Rivals exhibition cur-
rently at the National Gallery of Art.
But where classical landscape paint-
ers combined several vantage points
to contrive a perfect view that was
impossible in real life, Rowland seeks
imperfection. The tiny glitches in her
work mock digital photographys pre-
cision.
In her statement about the show,
Rowlandwrites that she first hit upon
her method to achieve extremely
sharp images. But assembling the
close-ups into larger pictures results
in mismatches and distortions. The
photographer specifies that these
mistakes her word are all
about, and mimic, vision and obser-
vation, optics and looking.
If that explanation sounds a little
too art-schooled, heres another one:
Rowlands approach introduces
chance into a process that otherwise
could seem overly mechanical. Com-
poser (and sometime visual artist)
John Cage used the I Ching to
surrender partial control over his
music. Rowland does something sim-
ilar with the GigaPan, which yields
flaws even as it eases the process of
turning hundreds of close-ups into a
single mega-landscape.
Yet the landscape is what domi-
nates, even in such photos as Old
Bittersweet Tangle, Glenmeade, Blue-
mont, a foliage close-up that flirts
with abstraction. Step far enough
back, and the digital defects vanish.
And, since the pieces are so big,
theyre easily read from a distance.
That means the mistakes dont
dominate. If Rowlands goal is to
critique vision and observation, she
may need to cede even more power to
happenstance.
Natural selections
Two other local artists, showing
together at Touchstone Gallery, exer-
cise a more modest sort of control
over nature imagery. Mary D. Otts
prints of wild grasses and Janet
Wheelers mixed-media nests pres-
ent their subjects inmanageable sizes
and formats, and emphasize craft
over conceptualism.
Ott uses dried ornamental grasses
as the motifs for monotypes and
screen prints that showcase color as
much as form. Some prints show
wispy shapes on white backgrounds,
while others frame the grasss fragile
outlines in reverse and are primarily
blocks of bold colors, including reds
and red-browns. (Few are of these
works are green.) The artist also
suggests grass in etchings that are
actually made with thread, creating
rows of thin lines that evoke stalks.
These wide grass pieces are some-
times printed in ways that abstract
the basic design.
Otts prints suggest traditional
Asian art, and some of them are
printed on Japanese kochi or Thai
unryu paper, adding vegetable tex-
tures to the images of vegetation. The
pieces are beautifully made and un-
apologetically decorative. This work
may perform merely the gentlest of
twists on its natural inspirations, but
it does so with skill and grace.
Since they incorporate eggs, feath-
ers and bit of bone, Wheelers nests
are more complicated. They evoke
birth and death, as well as Victorian
curiosity cabinets and Japanese lac-
quered boxes. Some of the materials
are ordinary Nest XIII includes
an array of clothespins but others
are more exotic. While many of the
pieces feature boxes made of unfin-
ished wood, some of the surfaces are
painted black, a color that here seems
more genteel than ominous.
Within the boxy nests, Wheeler
sometimes places nestlike assem-
blages of twigs, as well as speckled
bird eggs and wooden ovoids of vari-
ous sizes. The contrast between made
and found objects is the crux of this
work, and for all Wheelers care, the
avian artifacts are often more vivid
than their settings. Nest XV, for
example, complements its ebony fin-
ish with tufts of black-green feathers
whose subtle sheen upstages the rest
of the piece. Its just hard to make
anything as cool as the stuff nature
leaves lying around.

BY KATIE CARRERA
Early in the regular season, it
became clear the Washington Capi-
tals would need to go through the
upstart Tampa Bay Lightning to win
the Southeast Division. After four
months of jockeying, Washington
triumphed for a fourth consecutive
Southeast crown.
With the teams Eastern Confer-
ence semifinal series slated to begin
with Game 1 Friday at Verizon Cen-
ter, the Capitals find themselves with
the familiar Lightning serving as a
roadblock once more.
Washington went 4-1-1 against
Tampa Bay in the regular season, but
that statistic may be a misnomer. The
Capitals posted a 2-1-1 record in the
final four meetings, each of which
featured flared tempers and accusa-
tions of unsportsmanlike play.
It got pretty good there at the end,
I think, the rivalry, Coach Bruce
Boudreau said. Just because both
teams were vying for first place, and I
think the last four games we had
against them were pretty serious,
serious games. But I think this takes
it a different step.
To advance, Washington will need
to have its star players outshine
Tampa Bays, secure more constant
special-teams efforts, maintain disci-
pline when emotions run high and
have its goaltender stand up against
potent scoring threats.
The Capitals benefited from their
forward depth to knock the NewYork
Rangers out of the first round in five
games, getting key contributions
from the third and fourth lines. If
Alex Ovechkin and Alexander Semin
are the only top-six forwards to
record more than one goal in this
series, though, Washington may
struggle to match the Lightnings
offensive capabilities.

The National Football League an-
nounced Thursday it would welcome its
players back to work and gradually re-
sume league business beginning Friday
morning, even as its attorneys spent the
day trying to convince an appellate court
in St. Louis to shut down the leagues
operations once again.
League officials promised players ac-
cess to team facilities, coaches and staff
beginning Friday at 8 a.m. but refused to
guarantee the opening of more complex
business such as player transactions and
signings. And they aggressively sought a
temporary stay from the 8th Circuit
Court of Appeals in St. Louis by early
Friday that would short-circuit the
whole plan.
Were opening our doors at 8 oclock
tomorrowmorning, NFLCommissioner
Roger Goodell said at Radio City Music
Hall in NewYork, about 2
1/2 hours before
the first roundof the NFLdraft Thursday
night. The players will be back in. . . .
Well wait, and if the appeals court tells
us something different, then well have
to respond to that.
Goodell declined to discuss how the
league would handle free agent signings
or player trades, saying details would be
revealed when they are ready. Experts
say the league is wary of opening up the
free agent market because it has no
operating rules, but player representa-
tives say the league has had a plan for
months and is stalling.
James Quinn, an attorney for the
players, said Tuesday that if free agency
did not begin by Wednesday, he would
have concerns about improper collusion
by teams.
Were putting together the player
transaction rules so we can do it in an
orderly way, Goodell said.
On Wednesday night, U.S. District
Judge Susan Richard Nelson provided
her second decisive ruling of the week in
favor of the players by refusing to grant a
stay of her decision Monday to lift the
lockout imposed by owners March 12.
The league appealed the decision two
hours later.
NFL attorneys argued Thursday in
motions and letters to the appeals court
that the league would suffer irreparable

Defensive posture
REDSKINS CHOOSE
PURDUES KERRIGAN
Trade with Jaguars yields
an extra second-round pick
BY RICK MAESE
new york The Washington Redskins
made a bold step to upgrade the leagues
31st-ranked defense Thursday, resisting
the temptation to select a quarterback in
the first round of the NFL draft and
instead nabbing a skilled pass-rusher in
Purdues Ryan Kerrigan.
The 6-foot-4, 263-pound Kerrigan
gives the Redskins a threat opposite
linebacker Brian Orakpo, addressing
a major shortcoming of the teams
defensive unit a season ago.
I know theyve got a great core group
of guys -- Brian Orakpo, London Fletch-
er, LaRon Landry. Im looking forward
to being a part of that, Kerrigan said
moments after stepping off the stage at
Radio City Music Hall, with a new
burgundy jersey and black Redskins
cap.
We felt like weve got a football
player that can play the outside line-
backer position opposite Brian [Orak-
po], said Redskins Coach Mike Shanah-
an. Obviously plays the run very well,
and when you look at him, we think he
fits in our system very well, not only to
play the run but to play the pass.
redskins continued on D6
Opting for defense
makes sense
T
hank you, Mike Shanahan.
You finally did what you needed
to do Thursday night as the coach
and leader of the Washington Redskins,
selecting Purdue outside linebacker
Ryan Kerrigan in the first round of the
NFL draft.
Focusing on defense after trading
down from the 10th overall pick to the
16th was exactly the right approach to
help a poor 3-4 defense with significant
personnel problems in every position
group.
After making so many questionable
moves last season on the biggest issues
facing the Redskins, you provided a
glimpse of hope that maybe just maybe
you do get it about defense after all.
The offensive-minded coach in you
realized the defense had to be addressed
first in this draft.
Although it seemed clear because of
the problems on defense, Shanahan still
had a choice to make. Theres also a
glaring hole at quarterback because both
Shanahans, Mike and Kyle, Washingtons
offensive coordinator, have

The Minnesota Supreme Court

In a one-page order without

consider Williamss appeal of a
decision that had gone against
both Pat Williams and teammate
Kevin Williams, who are not relat-

did not take part in the decision.
The Williamses were initially
suspended in 2008 for taking the

diuretic called bumetanide that
canmaskthe presence of steroids.
The league allowed them to play
pending a final resolution of the

Marylands spring game on
Saturday will feature the first-

of four 12-minute quarters and a
12-minute halftime. Kickoffs will
not be live, and punt returners
will be required to call for a fair
catch. The game, slated to start at
3:30 p.m., will be officiated.
Its high stakes, because next
week on Wednesday the winners
get steak and shrimp, and the
losers get beans and franks,
Maryland Coach Randy Edsall
said Thursday. Trying to make it
competitive and let emgo out
there and have some fun.
Edsall noted that he will win
regardless of the games outcome
because he will not be affiliated
with either squad during the
exercise. Therefore, hell eat steak
and shrimp next Wednesday if he
so desires. Or he could go with
the beans and franks.
Offensive coordinator Gary
Crowton will guide the red team,
whose offense will be led by
sophomore quarterback Danny
OBrien. Other members of the
red teamoffense will include:
Sophomore left tackle Max
Garcia, senior left guard Andrew
Gonnella, sophomore center

Rapids Mullan to sit
for 10 games total
Citing a tackle that was
reckless, egregious and showed
utter disregard for the safety of
his opponent, MLS has
suspended Colorado midfielder
Brian Mullan an additional nine
matches equaling the most
severe penalty in league history.
Mullans challenge broke
Seattle midfielder Steve
Zakuanis tibia and fibula in the
third minute of the Rapids
match against the Sounders last
week. Mullan was also fined
$5,000. Because he received a red
card on the play, resulting in an
automatic one-game suspension,
he will miss 10 games overall.
The five-man disciplinary
committee took several factors
into account, the timing of the
challenge, the location on the
field, the moments immediately
before the challenge where it is
clear that Mullan is frustrated,
and the severity of Zakuanis
injury, said MLS executive
Nelson Rodriguez, who oversees
the committee.
FromSounders General
Manager Adrian Hanauer: The
commissioner has stated his
intention to be more protective
of dynamic, attacking players.
Hopefully this suspension is a
step in the right direction.
However, the harsh reality of this
situation is that no length of
suspension will bring back Steve
to action any faster.

Hot Topic Wizards Insider
Excerpts fromwashingtonpost.com/wizardsinsider
Evans takes his place at table
BY MICHAEL LEE
When the season began, the Wizards
were so desperate for a player
representative for the union that veteran
Kirk Hinrich reluctantly assumed okay,
he was practically forced into the
responsibility. But when the season ended,
they had Maurice Evans, a vice president
of the National Basketball Players
Association, who will represent themin
negotiations for a newcollective
bargaining agreement.
Evans, who joined the Wizards in a
trade deadline deal with Atlanta involving
Hinrich, said two weeks ago that his
primary objective this offseason is making
sure that owners and players can reach a
deal, so we can have a season next year.
Im very optimistic.
He conceded that a lockout would
occur, but only because he doesnt expect
an agreement to be reached before the
current CBA expires July 1. The sides are
extremely far apart, though the owners are
expected to deliver a new proposal to the
players union, possibly by Friday.
The NBA hasnt had a work stoppage
since 1998, when the season was reduced
to just 50 games. But NBA Commissioner
David Stern has repeatedly said that the
current system is broken and needs to be
fixed, with 22 out of the leagues 30 teams
losing money, and with collective losses of
$300 million last season. Owners are
pushing for a hard cap and an increase in
basketball-related income, with players
currently guaranteed 57 percent. Evans
said players might be willing to relent on
basketball-related income, but do not
intend to budge on a hard cap.
In my opinion, the current deal we
have now is actually working, Evans said.
So if we can just work from there and try
and figure out something that works for
everybody. . . . Again, we want to bargain
with them. We dont want to throw darts
and say who is right and who is wrong. We
just want to get a deal. There has to be
some model that says this is howwe do
business and its consistent from here out.
Tweak this, and work from there. Honestly,
I dont think there is anything more we
can give and a hard cap is definitely not
going to happen.
The owners are also expected to push
for reducing the length of guaranteed
contracts, and limiting the guarantees on
some deals, which Evans feels is
unnecessary. I dont think there is
nowhere to go fromhere, he said.
Everything has gone down. We cant
continue to diminish the years of
contracts. GMs and owners dont have to
sign players for those allotted number of
years. We dont need to self-govern them.
Doesnt make any sense.
Evans is paying close attention to the
NFL labor situation, which was made
more complicated when its players
decertified the union and filed an antitrust
lawsuit the day before team owners locked
themout. This week, a federal judge in
Minnesota ruled the league must lift its
lockout, but the NFL is seeking a stay at
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth
Circuit. The NFL players victory has
raised optimism that something could get
done without the NBA destroying the
momentum of an exciting regular season
and playoffs by having a prolonged
lockout.
Evans said NBA players couldnt
surrender the progress of previous
generations with the next collective
bargaining agreement. The union is ready
for a lengthy fight. Were prepared and
weve prepared for this for a long while. So
are the owners. I hope no one has been
preparing with malicious intent, to try and
prove a point and be spiteful. Were just
trying to get a deal. We want basketball
and we want football and we want all
sports to be, because its a part of our
culture and its a part of the values.

Uniteds Onstad is honored guest in Houston
BY STEVEN GOFF
When Pat Onstad decided in
December to end his 23-year
playing career and enter the
coaching ranks, he couldnt say a
proper farewell to the Houston
Dynamos supporters.
It was MLSs offseason, and he
had received an offer to become
D.C. Uniteds goalkeepers coach.
There was no formal occasion to
say goodbye after five years and
two league championships. Be-
fore the Dynamo moved to Texas
fromSanJose, Onstadhadserved
three years in the organization
and helped the Earthquakes win
a title.
On Friday night, when his old
team hosts his new team at Rob-
ertsonStadium, the Dynamo will
provide a fitting send-off. On-
stads wifeandthreechildrenwill
be at his side during a postgame
ceremony.
Given the unusual arc of his
first fewmonths withUnited, the
timing is perfect: After being
thrust back into active duty, On-
stad, 43, is essentially retiring as
a player again this week.
Because of Uniteds injury bug
inpreseason, hebecameanemer-
gency replacement. But with Bill
Hamid settling into the starting
role and Steve Cronin back from
a broken wrist, Onstads playing
services probably wont be need-
ed again.
Ive enjoyed it, he said, but I
feel like its time.
Serving in a player-coach role,
Onstadstartedthe first three reg-
ular season matches and became
the backup when Hamid re-
turned from shoulder rehabilita-
tion.
On Tuesday, with United in a
hectic stretch and Hamid need-
ing a break, Onstad made what
was likely the final appearance of
his prolongedcareer, startingina
3-2 loss to the NewEngland Rev-
olution in a U.S. Open Cup quali-
fier.
Onstad showed leadership
and inspiration, but admittedly
also showedhis age. Aside froma
fewclassy saves, he wasnt able to
replicate his goldenyears inMLS
and with the Canadian national
team.
I had a taste but Im just
disappointed I couldnt do more,
make a few more big saves and
performat the level Ive shownin
the past, said Onstad, the oldest
player in league history. Is the
door closing? Yeah. And I havent
done myself any favors. The
whole idea was to protect Bill as
long as we could, and he is defi-
nitely ready to go.
Barring another significant in-
jury to the goalkeeping corps,
United will allow Onstads
month-to-month playing con-
tract to expire at the end of May
and let himfocus on coaching.
Its heartwarming, seeing
himstill playing, saidHamid, 20,
who was born 2 years after
Onstad debuted for Canada in
international play. Hes the
chief, the big guy on campus.
From the first day he arrived,
without saying anything, he
threw out his knowledge by the
way he played: his positioning,
his confidence, his leadership.
Andthat givesyoutheconfidence
to model your game after his.
Initially, Onstad accepted
Uniteds offer without any inten-
tion of playing again. He had
toiled for years in lower-tier Ca-
nadian and U.S. circuits and
spent time in Scotland before
jumping to MLS in 2003. Twice
he was voted the leagues best
goalkeeper.
In December, when Ben Olsen
was appointed Uniteds head
coach, he extended an offer to
Onstad, who was nearing the end
of his career. Mark Simpson, the
teams longtime goalkeepers
coach, was pursuingother oppor-
tunities, and Olsen needed a sea-
soned mentor for Hamid.
Hamid had undergone shoul-
der surgery in the fall and
wouldnt be available until after
the season began. Nonetheless,
United was comfortable with
Cronin in the lead role. But when
Croninbrokehis wrist at training
camp in Florida, Olsen turned to
Onstad.
In practice sessions, Onstad
both readied himself for action
and oversaw the goalkeeping
corps, which also includes rookie
Joe Willis.
Hes still teachingandputting
their development in the fore-
front, Olsen said. Hes ready to
go, but hes ready to teach.
As an assistant, Onstad is a
very honest guy he has that
Canadian honesty and he
keeps me onmy toes, Olsensaid.
Returning to Houston is go-
ing to bring mixed emotions,
Onstad said. I spent some great
times with a lot of those guys on
the other side.
Using the visitors locker room
will also seemstrange.
The only time Ive been in
there, he said, laughing, was for
the leagues drug-testing.
United notes: The results of
an MRI exam on midfielder
Branko Boskovics left knee were
negative and he might be able to
play. Boskovic, the clubs most
influential player the past two
matches, left Tuesdays game in
the 85th minute after scoring
twice. . . .
United is 0-4-1 and has scored
in just one visit to Houston. . . .
The Dynamo is unbeaten in five
straight since a season-opening
loss to Philadelphia.

Williams sisters drawlarge crowd
Venus, Serena put on
a youth clinic
in Southeast
BY LIZ CLARKE
Nearly every parent brought a
camera, and every reporter
wieldeda tape recorder.
But the 150 children who de-
scended on the Southeast Tennis
and Learning Center on Thurs-
day werent awestruck by the 20
Grand Slam titles or superstar
status of their guest instructors.
And they werent concerned
about whether Venus and Serena
Williams plan to return to com-
petition at next months French
Openor at WimbledoninJune.
They just wanted to become
better tennis players. And the
near hour-long clinic with the
Williams sisters gave them a
chance to do just that.
Serena is an excellent teach-
er! proclaimed Tierra Holloway,
14, among those who hit with the
four-time and current defending
Wimbledon champion. Every
time she gave me advice, when I
went back on court I hit better.
She gave me many compliments
onmy tennis. Andshe toldme my
hair was pretty.
The clinic, emceed by the
Washington Kastles exuberant
coach, Murphy Jensen, was fol-
lowed by an evening gala that
also featured the sisters who
changed into a form-fitting red
dress (Serena) and strapless flo-
ral sheath (Venus) all to cele-
brate the 10th anniversary of the
Southeast Tennis and Learning
Center with Washington Mayor
Vincent Gray; two of his prede-
cessors, Anthony Williams and
MarionBarry; and500 others.
With help from the D.C. De-
partment of Parks and Recre-
ation, the $5.1 million center has
provided a safe place to play,
learn and study for more than
2,000 children since 2001, using
free tennis lessons as the lure.
Almost fromthe moment Cora
Masters Barry envisioned the
state-of-the-art complex in Ward
8, the Williams family led by
Oracene Price, Venus and Sere-
nas mother anda friendof Wash-
ingtons former first lady has
beena spiritedsupporter.
Said Venus on Thursday: The
center is so important because,
for us, it brings us full circle,
growing up in Compton, Califor-
nia. Coming back [to Ward 8] is
similar because we see young
people who really are us. And its
a great opportunity for us to real-
ly stay grounded and continue to
do whats important and to give
back.
The Williams sisters ascen-
dance to the top of professional
tennis is among the more re-
markable stories in sports.
Coached by their parents in a
crime-ridden suburb of Los An-
geles, they learned as young girls
tohit withremarkablepower and
compete with ferocious will. And
in 2002, they reached No. 1 in the
worldinturn.
But each has been sidelined by
injury over the past year. And
womens tennis has suffered for
it, as has the standing of Ameri-
can tennis. The last American to
win a Grand Slam who was not
named Williams was Andy Rod-
dick, in2003.
Serena hasnt competed since
winning Wimbledon, her 13th
Grand Slam, last July 3. After
cutting her right foot in a freak
accident four days later, she un-
derwent two surgeries. Then in
early March she was rushed to a
Los Angeles hospital withablood
clot in one of her lungs and had a
hematoma removed.
She resumed practicing just
last week, triggering an Internet
sensationafter posting a photoof
herself from the workout wear-
ing a hot-pink bodysuit, later ex-
plaining that the form-fitting de-
sign provided compression that
was helpful to her recovery.
Venus, 30, withdrew from the
AustralianOpenwithahipinjury
in the third round. She hasnt
competed since, sidelined fur-
ther by anabdominal injury.
Neither put a timetable on her
return Thursday, although both
are expected to return to Wash-
ingtonthis summer as headliners
for the Washington Kastles
World Team Tennis season. Ve-
nus will open the season July 5;
Serena is due to compete July 7.
Im feeling better, Serena
said. Just starting training a lit-
tle later than I suspected. But its
going slowandsteady.
Added Venus: Of course our
goal is [to return to competition]
sooner rather than later. The one
thing we learned from being
away fromthe game is howmuch
we love it. [Not competing] gives
us opportunities to be out here,
where normally we wouldnt be
ableto. Sowemadethebest of our
time to do positive things.
Thursdays on-court vibes
werepositive, indeed, as boys and
girls lined up to trade shots with
Venus and Serena. Then the sis-
ters moved to adjacent courts to
workmore closely withadvanced
students, who smacked the ball
straight back at the champions
without a trace of intimidation.
On one court, Venus, wearing
black leggings and top, patiently
demonstrated proper follow-
through of a forehand for a tiny
girl, taking her right handinhers
tocompletethestrokeintandem.
Shes not a yelling teacher,
Kayla Williams, 12, said about
Venus. Shes like a quiet teacher.
She actually shows youinsteadof
yelling at you!
Serena, meantime, organized
her charges into doubles teams,
stood back and studied their
skills.
Youguys are doing excellent!
said Serena, in green-and-white
tie-dyed style capris and coordi-
nated top. But I want you to
work on your consistency. If you
have to hit it softer, hit it softer.
Then she proceeded to rip a
forehand to one corner of the
court.
Shes making her comeback
right hereat theSoutheast Tennis
and Learning Center! Jensen
bellowed into his microphone.
Shes BACK!

Hawks
topple
Magic,
move on
Atlanta sends
Orlando to earliest
ouster since 2007
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
atlanta Joe Johnson pro-
vided his usual offensive
spark. His biggest play,
though, was getting a hand
on a missed shot.
Johnson scored 23 points
and came up with a huge
offensive rebound, leading
the Atlanta Hawks to an 84-
81 victory in Game 6 on
Thursday night, knocking the
Orlando Magic out of the
playoffs.
The Hawks, who won the
series 4-2, advanced to the
second round for the third
straight year, this time
against top-seeded Chicago.
The Magic, which routed
Atlanta a year ago in the most
lopsided four-game sweep in
NBA history, head into an
uncertain offseason after
their earliest playoff ouster
since 2007.
With Atlanta clinging to a
one-point lead and the clock
running down, Marvin Wil-
liams missed a clinching
three-pointer. But Johnson
swatted the rebound to Jamal
Crawford, who was fouled
and made both free throws
with 8.2 seconds left.
The Magic had two chanc-
es to force overtime. J.J.
Redick missed an open three,
then Jason Richardson had a
desperation shot from the
corner blocked by Josh
Smith.
Redick came off a screen
for a clear view of the basket,
a play that couldnt have been
drawn up any better. The shot
rimmed out, though it went
out of bounds off an Atlanta
player to provide the Magic
with one more shot. After his
team called another timeout,
Redick walked to the bench
with his hands on his head.
That would be the Magics
last chance to extend the
series.
Orlando inbounded from
the baseline to Richardson,
but he didnt have much
room to work in the corner.
Smith extended a hand to
finish off the Magic.
Hedo Turkoglu kicked the
ball off the scoreboard hang-
ing above the court in frustra-
tion as streamers fell from
the ceiling, the sellout crowd
celebrating their series win-
ner.
After not having much of
an impact in Orlandos 25-
point win in Game 5, Dwight
Howard led the Magic with
25 points and 15 rebounds.
But, falling into a familiar
pattern from the first two
games, the big center didnt
get much help from his team-
mates.
Crawford scored 19 points,
including consecutive threes
that gave Atlanta its biggest
lead, 71-59, with just more
than nine minutes left.

APOLOGY ISSUED
Baseball said it would await
information from the
Braves before considering
any disciplinary action
against pitching coach
Roger McDowell, whom a
fan accused of making ugly
comments and gestures
and threatening him with a
baseball bat.
The allegations stemmed
from a game in San
Francisco last weekend.
McDowell apologized in a
statement, saying: I am
deeply sorry that I
responded to the heckling
fans in San Francisco on
Saturday. I apologize to
everyone for my actions.

Blue Jay gets clipped
Lester remains
perfect vs. Orioles
BY DAN CONNOLLY
baltimore The Baltimore Orioles knewthey hadlittle
marginfor error if they were finally going to beat Bostons
Jon Lester and complete a sweep of the Red Sox at
Camden Yards on Thursday night.
That fine line was smudgedandthencompletely wiped
away by the Orioles bullpen, which gave up four late runs
to give the Red Sox a 6-2 win in front of an announced
crowd of 21,209.
Tied at 2 in the seventh, Orioles reliever Jim Johnson
surrendered a double to the first batter he faced,
struggling left fielder Carl Crawford, whohadbeenhitless
in his first 10 at-bats of the series.
Johnson, who had allowed just three earned runs this
month, almost got out of the jam, but Dustin Pedroia hit a
two-out, two-strike dribbler on the left side of the infield.
Third baseman Mark Reynolds couldnt make a difficult,
barehanded play and the speedy Crawford raced home.
An inning later, the Red Sox put the game out of reach
with three more runs against the bullpen. Johnson (1-1)
walked the leadoff hitter to summon scuffling lefty
Michael Gonzalez, who had already allowed six runs in
five innings this season.
Gonzalez gave up two singles, walked a batter and
picked up one strikeout. He was charged with two earned
runs in 1/3 of an inning after Jason Berken allowed a
two-runsingle to Jacoby Ellsbury. Gonzalezs ERAis 13.50
and he has allowed at least one run in six of his seven 2011
appearances.
The Orioles bullpen handed the win to Lester, who
improves to an incredible 14-0 in 17 career starts against
the Orioles and 7-0 in nine games at Camden Yards. It
lookedlike he might be stuckwithnodecisionafter giving
upa 376-foot solohomer toVladimir Guerrerointhe sixth
to tie the score at 2.

ROUNDUP
Watson,
Jones share
Zurich lead
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bubba Watson entered the
Zurich Classic as a favor to his
mother.
My mom really wanted
me to come, saidWatson, tied
for first-round lead with Matt
Jones after opening with a
6-under-par 66 on Thursday
in Avondale, La. My mom
always comes to this golf tour-
nament, so when my mom
says she wants to come, Im
here. And somehow I shot 6
under today.
Watson, the winner at Tor-
rey Pines in late January, two-
putted from 32 feet for eagle
on the par-5 11th and had six
birdies and two bogeys at TPC
Louisiana far from his fa-
vorite course.
The way the course is, it
just doesnt fit my eye the way
it is, Watson said. Its a great
golf course, a great layout. For
me, its just not one that I
want to play every day.
Today, it just worked out. I
hit my driver really well. Ive
been hitting it good all year,
but I made some putts and hit
some good iron shots and
somehow came out 6 under.
Jones chipped in from 57
feet for a birdie on his final
hole.
I pitched it perfectly,
Jones said. It grabbed a little
and just trickled in nicely.
Jones had eight birdies and
two bogeys. Playing the back
nine first, the Australian
reeled off four consecutive
birdies beginning at the par-4
16th. He followed with a 30-
foot birdie putt onthe 17th, an
11-footer on the 18th and a
20-foot putt on the first.
Jones and put in a lot of
work this week with swing
coach Gary Barter.
My hands are pretty sore,
actually, after all the work
weve done, Jones said. So
its coming slowly. Today we
saw some positives out of
what weve been doing.
WatsonandJones playedin
the afternoon in better scor-
ing conditions after a strong
north wind made morning
play more difficult.
The guys set it up pretty
well with the conditions that
we had out there with the
wind and everything, Jones
said. The greens are perfect.
And I played well. . . . I
actually made a lot of putts
today and chipped in on the
last to finish the round, which
is good.
Joe Durant, Tommy Gainey,
Carl Pettersson, John Rollins,
Nick OHern and David Duval
opened with 67s. Durant
played in the morning.
Luke Donald, a playoff los-
er last week at Hilton Head in
a failedbidto jumpfromNo. 3
to No. 1 in the world, shot a 68
to match Matt Bettencourt,
Webb Simpson, Jason Dufner,
Charles Howell and 2002 win-
ner K.J. Choi. Hilton Head
winner Brandt Snedeker
opened with a 77. He had a
triple bogey on the par-3
ninth when he hit his tee shot
in the water.
Rickie Fowler and Steve
Stricker shot 70s, U.S. Open
champion Graeme McDowell
had a 73, and Vijay Singh
opened with a 74.
John Daly struggled to a
9-over 81. Daly was 2 over
through 14 holes, then played
his last four in7 over. He had a
triple bogey on the par-4 16th
after hitting twoshots intothe
water.

Giants carrying around some extra weight so far this season
World Series champs
are off to slugglish start
amid high expectations
BY DAVE SHEININ
pittsburgh Accompanying
the San Francisco Giants on their
current East Coast road trip is a
nondescript black case, sharing
space in the airplanes cargo hold
with the equipment bags and the
trunks full of jerseys and caps.
This particular case has its own
team-paid caretaker, who guards
its contents religiously. It is al-
most never opened, unless by
prior arrangement.
Inside the case is the Commis-
sioners Trophy, awarded to the
Giants last November upon win-
ning the 2010 WorldSeries. When
the Giants, following a four-game
series at Nationals Park in Wash-
ington that begins Friday night,
continue on to New York next
week, the trophy will make a
pilgrimage upstate to Troy, N.Y.,
ancestral home of the Giants
franchise, then on to Cooper-
stown, where it will spend some
time on display at the Hall of
Fame.
If the Giants themselves are
tempted these days to sneak a
peek inside the case every once in
a while, just to remind them-
selves of their status as the reign-
ing World Series champions, it
would be understandable. Right
now, both in terms of perfor-
mance and confidence, they seem
far removed from the lovable,
roguish band of castoffs and
misfits who won it all less than
six months ago.
It certainly hasnt gone as well
as we thought, General Manager
Brian Sabean said Thursday
morning. You may not be able to
win a pennant in April or May,
but you can certainly lose one. I
think we need to keep that in
mind, without putting extra pres-
sure on ourselves.
A 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh
Pirates on Thursday afternoon
pulled the Giants back to .500
(12-12), but it was just their sec-
ond win in their past seven
games, and they still find them-
selves 4
1/2 games behind the NL
West-leading Colorado Rockies.
And they still find themselves
in possession of an anemic of-
fense that scored two or fewer
runs four times in a six-game
spanover the past week includ-
ing zero on Wednesday night,
when the Pirates started a pitch-
er, James McDonald, with a 10.12
ERA. Entering Thursdays play,
the Giants ranked 13th in the
National League in runs per
game (3.91), 14th in on-base per-
centage (.302) and 11th in slug-
ging percentage (.383).
Nobodys really gotten hot,
said veteran first baseman Au-
brey Huff, who entered Thursday
hitting .218 with a .601 OPS.
Nobodys been consistent. Were
all cold at the same time. If we get
hot together, we can score a lot of
runs.
Were pressing, added right
fielder Cody Ross.
The Giants say the example of
2010, when they were just 41-40
at the seasons midpoint, with
similar problems scoring runs,
and had to make up a six-game
deficit over the seasons final five
weeks to overtake the San Diego
Padres and make the playoffs, has
been a comfort in the early going
this year a reminder of what
this roster, largely unchanged
from last fall, can accomplish.
We havent really clicked in
any facet of the game so far, said
right-hander Sergio Romo, the
top setup man in the Giants
bullpen. Were still looking to
find that groove as a unit. But
theres no extra pressure onus, no
feeling like, We have to get it
done right now. Wed like to get it
turned around. But its still too
early to put any extra pressure on
ourselves. Theres still way more
potential for this team.
But Sabean, the general man-
ager, cautioned against anyone
using the its still early argu-
ment, or assuming the 2011 Rock-
ies will fold the way the 2010
Padres did during a 14-23 stretch
run.
Colorado is a pretty damn
good team, Sabean said, and
theyre well-rounded. So we cant
think we can fall behind like we
did last year and then rear our
heads and catch a teamlike that.
Last summer, when the Giants
went through a scarcity of runs,
Sabean remade the teams lineup
in midseason, signing the recent-
ly released Pat Burrell, trading
veteran Bengie Molina and hand-
ing the everyday catching duties
to rookie Buster Posey, and
claiming Ross on waivers. By
October, only three position play-
ers from the 2010 opening day
lineup (Huff, Edgar Renteria and
Juan Uribe) were also in the
lineup for the clinching game of
the World Series.
That teampopularized a brand
of baseball that came to be
known as torture for its
predilection for low-scoring,
tightly contested games but if
that was torture, this is merely
tortuous. So far in 2011, the
Giants have produced a signifi-
cantly lower batting average
(.241, through Wednesday) and
OPS (.685) than they did a year
ago (.257 and .729).
The Giants expected more this
year after bringing back essen-
tially the same lineup that blitzed
through last October. But leadoff
man Andres Torres (strained
foot) has been out since April 9,
Ross (strained calf ) didnt see his
first action until April 20, and
new shortstop Miguel Tejada
the teams only significant acqui-
sition this winter has been
abysmal at the plate (.200 batting
average, .541 OPS).
This is a better lineup than
where we were at this point last
year, Manager Bruce Bochy said,
so thats a little disappointing.
By the endof this 10-game road
trip, the Giants will have played
22 of their first 31 games away
from home. Their task now is to
ride out the unforgiving April
schedule, wait until Torres re-
turns in a couple of weeks, and
try to regain whatever magic it
was that carried them through
the 2010 postseason.
Were kind of in survival
mode, Sabean said. We know
this wont be easy. But we dont
mind difficult. We just dont want
impossible.

Game of catch
for Zimmerman
Third baseman Ryan
Zimmerman continued his
rehab from an abdominal
strain Thursday afternoon
by briefly playing catch at
Nationals Park with head
athletic trainer Lee Kuntz.
Zimmerman, who last played
April 9, said he remains just
in the beginning stages of
his recovery and will stay on
the 15-day disabled list for
another week, perhaps
longer.
This next week coming
up is kind of the important
week, Zimmerman said.
Thats what they say. I cant
say anything really good or
bad. Its just the protocol
that they have me on.
Thursday, Zimmerman
made about a dozen throws
playing catch, which is just
the way its supposed to go,
Zimmerman said. Manager
Jim Riggleman said its
going to be a little bit of a
slow process to get
Zimmerman back into the
lineup.
Zimmerman rehabbed at
Nationals Park all last week
and began baseball activities
earlier this week.
Zimmerman has yet to
swing, even though he said
swinging never hurt his
strained abdominal, only
throwing and lunging.
A proud papa
Ian Desmond returned
Thursday after spending the
last two games on the
paternity list, at home with
his wife, Chelsey, as they
welcomed Grayson Wesley
Desmond, their first child,
into the world.
Indescribable, Desmond
said. Its the best thing Ive
seen in my entire life.
In returning Desmond to
the 25-man roster, the
Nationals optioned
outfielder Roger Bernadina
back to Class AAA Syracuse.
Bernadina appeared in both
games he spent with the
Nationals, getting two hits,
including a double, in three
at-bats. . . .
After Sean Burnetts
rough outing Wednesday
night, Riggleman had to
answer questions about the
closer role mostly, if there
even is a true closer now. But
Wednesday night did not
change Rigglemans opinion
of Burnetts place in the
bullpen, despite his allowing
four earned runs.
The insinuation there is
that he didnt pitch good,
Riggleman said. I thought he
threw the ball fine.

Nats newest dad delivers
Desmond has triple, HR
in first game since
the birth of his son
BY ADAM KILGORE
Tuesday night, Ian Desmond
cradledhis newbornsoninhis left
arm and held his smart phone in
right hand. He focusedmost of his
attention on hours-old Grayson
Wesley Desmond, the first child
whose birth he would later call
indescribable. He also peeked at
that phone, which displayed the
WashingtonNationals game.
Desmond tended to his wife
and newborn son during his two
daysonpaternityleave, but healso
watched the Nationals lose twice
and wished he could help. Thurs-
day night, playing his first game
sincebecomingafather, Desmond
went 2for 4withatripleandasolo
home run, lifting the Nationals to
a 4-3 victory over the New York
Mets before 15,142 at Nationals
Park.
Starter Livan Hernandez, play-
ing with his own unique personal
circumstances, held the Mets to
three runs in eight innings while
scoring one run himself and driv-
ing in another with a bunt. He
cededtoDrewStoren, whoearned
his fourth save with a scoreless
ninth. IvanRodriguez pumpedhis
fist behind home plate when Wil-
lie Harris swung through a 3-2
slider, anexclamationpoint onthe
Nats halting a three-game skid.
During a needed victory where
a lot of good things happened,
Manager Jim Riggleman said,
Desmond stood out. He had seen
his teammates lose twice without
him and believed he could help.
He played flawless defense while
smashingatripleinthehis second
at-bat and a homer in his third,
both bullets to left-center. The
homer flewover the fence in front
of the bullpen; the triple almost
knockedit over.
Its nice to be back, Desmond
said. Watching the games the last
two days, it seemed like the team
needed a little spark. I came in
here today hopingtodothat, andI
did. It felt really good.
Riggleman thought Desmond
seemed more relaxed than before
he left, which could have owed to
either his impending fatherhood
or his slow start. When Desmond
headed to Florida to be with his
wife, he led the majors in errors
andhada .253 on-base percentage
anda .333 slugging percentage.
Last week, after a loss in Pitts-
burgh in which he made two er-
rors, Desmond sighed heavily and
struggled to explain his frustra-
tion. Thenext day, Rigglemangave
Desmond a day off and wondered
howmuch the impending birth of
his sonweighedonhim.
He just really played relaxed
tonight, Riggleman said. As al-
ways, Imreally proudof him. Hes
a great competitor and has gone
through some tough times here in
April. I knowhes at a special time
in his life. Imjust really happy for
him. With everything else going
on his life right now, this just tops
it off here tonight.
Desmond insisted the trip
home andthe happy, healthy state
of his familywas wonderful the
best thing Ive seen in my entire
life, he said but separate from
his baseball career.
I feel exactly the same as when
I left, Desmond said. Im not
goingtogive anycredit toGrayson
or my wife. Its me. Im out here
playing.
This is a true sentence you will
not often read: Hernandez took
the mound the day after a U.S.
attorney said he is the subject of a
money laundering investigation
tied to a recently convicted drug
trafficker. But it was not necessari-
ly news to Hernandez. He has
known that his name has been
mentionedinthecaseall season
the testimony that ensnared him
occurred a day before he started
the Nationals seasonopener.
Now that the information has
spread publicly, his performance
remained impervious to the un-
usual outside factor swirling
around him. When Hernandez
was introduced, the sparse crowd
cheeredas usual.
Whatever comes out, if people
dont say the truth, its okay, Her-
nandez said. If something come
out, I cant do nothing. The fans
are great the best fans in base-
ball. They support the team.
Hernandez struck out five, re-
tired the first six batters he faced,
confrontedthe minimumthrough
three innings, singled to center in
his first at-bat and scored the
games first run when Jayson
Werthdoubledhimhome.
Hernandez played a role in an-
other Nationals run, too, during a
fourth-inningrally. Hecametothe
plateinthefourthwithJerryHair-
ston on third base and one out.
From the dugout, Riggleman
calledfor a safety squeeze bunt.
Hernandez, who has already
buntedhomeonerunner this year,
dribbled a bunt down the third
base line. Hairston bolted for
home, and Hernandez paused be-
fore he ran to first, impeding
catcher JoshThole. Whentheball
doesnt go too far, Hernandez
said, youve got to wait so the
catcher dont go and get the ball
fast. By the time Thole scooped
the ball and lunged back toward
the plate, Hairston was crossing it
to make the score 3-1.
In the seventh, the Mets nearly
moved the tying run into scoring
position. Jose Reyes, perhaps the
fastest man in baseball, singled
with two outs. He tried to steal
second and got a decent jump
against Hernandez, but Rodriguez
gunned him down. His offense
may be fading, but the cannon
attached to his right shoulder is
not.
Im not going to lie to you,
Rodriguez said. That was a mis-
sile.
The man who caught it was
Desmond. The last time Desmond
had pitched, he had dropped two
balls on steal attempts, hurting

harm if forced to resume opera-
tions without a collective bar-
gaining agreement.
Players representatives urged
players to report for work Thurs-
day morning as they did Tuesday
after Nelsons initial ruling, say-
ing the league would be in con-
tempt of court if it denied them
entry and refused to do business.
Quinn and Jeffrey Kessler, an-
other player attorney, wrote in a
memo to players and agents that
Nelsons decision to reject the
NFLs request for a stay meant
the order ending the lockout is in
full, immediate force.
Yet Tennessee Titans players
complained they were greeted by
armedsecurity guards andlocked
gates. Linebacker Lorenzo Alex-
ander and center Casey Rabach
were turned away at Redskins
Park. Detroit Lions players were
told to come back Monday, and
that organized team activities
would start Wednesday, accord-
ing to published reports.
The league told teams to cour-
teously turn away players, main-
taining that it could not conduct
business without an organized
plan. NFL attorneys complained
in court filings Thursday that do-
ing any business at all could put
the league in danger of further
anti-trust claims fromtheplayers,
who sued owners and the NFL for
suchviolations onMarch11, when
contract talks broke down and
they dissolved their labor union.
For Thursday nights draft, al-
lowed by a provision in the ex-
pired collective bargaining agree-
ment between the league and the
players union, trades could in-
volve picks but not players.
On Friday morning, the league
said, offseasonworkout programs
for players could begin and play-
ers could work out at team facili-
ties at other times without super-
vision by club officials, as long as
they provided proof of medical
insurance. The league also said it
would promptly make arrange-
ments to resume the counseling,
rehabilitation and treatment por-
tions of its drug-testing pro-
grams.
Once they open their doors
Friday, league owners will have to
be extremely careful about dem-
onstrating any appearance of col-
lusion, according to New York
University law professor Robert
Boland.
Apprehensionabout the conse-
quences of their business deal-
ings, Boland said, might mean
teams treat this unusual open-
for-business stretch with little
agreement and in widely varying
ways.
Teams are not going to be able
to share as muchinformationand
the league is not going to be able
to dictate as much to individual
teams, said Boland, an expert in
labor and anti-trust law. You will
have great, great disparity as to
what teams will do. Somewill sign
priority free agents; some will
sign depth guys; others will sign
no one. I think teams will run the
gamut on that.
Boland said he thought some
teams wouldhesitate for fear they
would run into problems with an
eventual salary cap or other rules
instituted later that could com-
promise deals made under an
uncertain system.
Free agency could offer oppor-
tunity, but it could also offer pun-
ishment, he said. Nobody knows
quite what to do.
Even as the league advertised
that it would be opening its doors
Friday, it tried mightily to con-
vince the appellate court to grant
a stay that would reinstate the
lockout. It sought both a stay
pending the appeal of Nelsons
decision to lift the lockout
which it speculated could be
heard by June as well as a
temporary stay as the court con-
sidered the matter.
In a letter to the appellate
court, NFLattorney Paul D. Clem-
ent said the players had threat-
ened immediate contempt sanc-
tions if they did not immediately
comply with the district courts
order to lift the lockout. The letter
claimed the plaintiffs threat of
contempt only underscores the
need for a temporary stay.
In a letter to the court later
Thursday, players attorney Theo-
dore B. Olson said the NFL claims
showed lack of merit.
Contrary to the assertion in
their letter, the NFL defendants
have carefully prepared for this
result and are more than ready to
resume operations, Olson wrote.

PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL
Blue-collar player and were
sure glad hes a part of the
Redskins.
The first round was a busy
one for the Redskins, who trad-
ed down in the draft to get
Kerrigan and add another sec-
ond-round pick. Given the op-
portunity to select a possible
franchise quarterback or a pass-
rusher to beef up the defense,
the Redskins instead dealt away
the 10th overall selection, slid-
ing back six spots and adding
another draft pick in the pro-
cess.
The draft unfolded favorably
for Shanahan, with several top
prospects still on the board
when the Redskins were on the
clock. It was enough to entice
the Jacksonville Jaguars to pick
up the phone and negotiate a
trade.
redskins from D1 The Jaguars parted with their
first-round pick (the 16th over-
all) and their second-round se-
lection (the 49th overall), to
move up and take Missouri
quarterback Blaine Gabbert,
considered by many to be the
drafts second-best quarterback
behind Auburns Cam Newton.
The Redskins also have their
own second-round pick, the 41st
overall.
We felt fortunate, Shanahan
said. It doesnt always work out
that way. Obviously Jacksonville
wanted a quarterback. It was a
perfect situation for us. They
called us up with about six
minutes left, and we were able
to make the trade and hopefully
[its] good for both teams.
With Donovan McNabbs fu-
ture in Washington in doubt,
many analysts had predicted the
Redskins would chase a quarter-
back in the first round of this
years draft. Even with Gabbert,
Florida States Christian Ponder
and TCUs Andy Dalton avail-
able at the No. 10 slot, Washing-
ton preferred to slide back six
spots, where they were still able
to choose the pass-rusher they
coveted.
I wasnt expecting it, but it
was really exciting, Kerrigan
said. I met with them. I really
like what they do with their
defense. Its a really good fit for
me.
Though Kerrigan played de-
fensive end in the Boilermakers
4-3 defense, he ll likely transi-
tion to an outside linebacker in
Washingtons 3-4 defense, a po-
sition change that Orakpo un-
derwent when the Redskins
drafted him in 2009. For Kerrig-
an, it feels like a perfect fit.
Brian Orakpo operates the
right side; Ive always been
better on the left side, he said.
So Im really excited to play out
there.
Kerrigan is an athletic end,
clocking a time of 4.72 in the
40-yard dash at the NFL Scout-
ing Combine and bench-press-
ing 225 pounds a total of 40
times. He was an aggressive end
for the Boilermakers, forcing 14
fumbles and tallying 33.5 sacks
during his four years at Purdue.
He led the nation in fumbles
caused in both his junior and
senior seasons.
Kerrigan was a unanimous
all-American and voted all-Big
Ten first team as a senior, when
he totaled 70 tackles 50
unassisted 12.5 sacks and 26
tackles for loss. Purdues defen-
sive MVP each of his final two
seasons, Kerrigan led the Big
Ten with 13 sacks during his
junior campaign, which and
ranked him third in the nation.
He tied the schools single-sea-
son record that year with seven
forced fumbles.
Kerrigan hails from basket-
ball country. He was born in
Muncie, Ind., and played foot-
ball, baseball and basketball for
Muncie Central High.
The Redskins began the draft
with eight total picks, but only
two in the first four rounds. By
trading away the 10th overall
selection, they gave themselves
the opportunity to pick up three
players who might make an
immediate impact next season,
instead of two. For a team with
plenty of holes, it was a trade the
Redskins felt fortunate to make.
Even with Kerrigan added to
the roster, Washington still has
myriad needs cornerback, re-
ceiver and quarterback among
them but it now has two picks
Friday night and six on Saturday
with which to address them.

JAMIE SABAU/GETTY IMAGES
Ryan Kerrigan (94) was all-Big Ten and a unanimous all-American as a senior with Purdue. He had 70 tackes, 50 of themunassisted, and 26 for loss for the Boilermakers.
JASON REID
With Kerrigan, offensive-minded Shanahan focuses on different kind of rush
irreconcilable differences with
Donovan McNabb, whom the
team is expected to trade.
But Mike Shanahan chose
wisely.
We felt we had more needs
right now than at quarterback,
the head coach said Thursday
night at Redskins Park.
All indications are that
Kerrigan is capable of providing
the type of immediate impact
needed to quickly bolster the
entire defense. Adding a young
playmaker to rush the passer
opposite outside linebacker
Brian Orakpo was a sound
decision on many levels.
With Orakpo and Kerrigan,
the Redskins now have potential
bookend stars. They have two
young players capable of
applying consistent pressure on
quarterbacks from the edge,
whichis a very big deal inthe 3-4.
Orakpo (19 career sacks)
has proven himself in two strong
seasons in the NFL. Teaming
Orakpo with Kerrigan just
makes sense, especially
reid from D1 considering the former
Boilermaker standout made big
things happen throughout his
college career.
Credited with 14 forced
fumbles, Kerrigan is tied for the
all-time Football Bowl
Subdivision record. His 33
sacks ranked second on Purdues
all-time list. Kerrigan also
finished fifth in school history
with 57 tackles for losses.
We needed somebody
opposite Rak on the other side to
put some pressure, Shanahan
said. Any time [opposing teams]
can slide to a guy like Brian, you
would like to have a dominant
pass-rusher onthe other side. We
feel like Ryan can do that beat
tight ends, beat backs, obviously
beat tackles.
Kerrigans production,
however, was only part of the
story. He also brings presence to
a defense that often lacked a
strong identity during the rough
transition to the 3-4. Kerrigan is
a tone-setter because he plays
extremely hard, Shanahan said.
A lot of times, he does it on
second effort.
Trading back was Shanahans
first impressive move of the
night. The Redskins previously
traded their third- and fourth-
round picks in this draft in
separate deals to acquire
offensive tackle Jammal Brown
and McNabb (they also gave up a
second-rounder in the 2010 draft
for McNabb).
Shanahan was eager to pick
up another high-round pick in
an attempt to bolster the roster
at several positions, and he
found a willing partner in
Jacksonville, which took
Missouri quarterback Blaine
Gabbert in the spot Washington
vacated. For their assistance, the
Redskins received the Jaguars
second-round pick, the 49th
overall. The Redskins now have
two more picks in the top 50
(Nos. 41 and 49) in the three-day
draft.
We were happy to do what we
did, Shanahan said, and pick
up an extra pick and get Ryan on
the football team.
Obviously, the defense should
have been Shanahans focus.
He had to make a major move
to help defensive coordinator
Jim Haslett, who had the
toughest job on the coaching
staff last season because of the
lack of overall talent for the
scheme change and the awful
Albert Haynesworth situation.
Shanahan ordered the major
shift from Washingtons
longstanding 4-3 front to an
aggressive 3-4, but he didnt
provide Haslett with the pieces
to make an effective transition.
Kerrigan is a big piece.
All Ive been taught to do is
play hard to the whistle,
Kerrigan said in a conference
call with reporters. They say
play until the whistle blows, and
I really take that to heart.
Washington suffered a
historic collapse in its worst
defensive performance since
1954. After having a top-10
defense eight times in 10 seasons
between 2000 and 2009, the
Redskins finished 31st out of 32
teams and were at the bottom of
the league rankings for much of
the season.
It isnt only that the Redskins
need more players who fit with
the aggressive scheme
Washington modeled after
Pittsburghs successful 3-4
philosophy, though that was a
big part of the problem.
The Redskins still need help
on defense. They need huge,
agile guys along the defensive
line to draw and defeat double-
teams. They also need help at
cornerback.
Shanahan, however, finally
got it started in picking
Kerrigan. He started to lay the
foundation to potentially begin
building something special.
Not only for today, but also for
the short- and long-term future
of a franchise that too often has
displayed shortsightedness
while living in the moment.
Thats how the best
organizations in this league
operate, and this is the time of
year when they separate
themselves from the pack.
So thanks again, Shanahan.
Thanks for finally providing
hope that Washington, with a
strong start in this draft, could
be on that road again.

Panthers go first, choose Newton
Four QBs taken in first dozen picks; labor conflict overshadows draft as fans boo NFL commissioner
BY MARK MASKE
new yorkThe NFL draft began
Thursday night at Radio City Mu-
sic Hall with fans venting their
frustration about the sports labor
strife, and with the Carolina Pan-
thers making Auburns CamNew-
ton the top overall selection to
start a league-wide first-round
runonquarterbacks.
Player moves have been re-
placedby labor conflict andcourt-
roommaneuvering this offseason,
but the opening round of the
three-day draft finally gave teams
a chance to begin retooling their
rosters for the season that is
scheduledto begininSeptember.
After NFLCommissioner Roger
Goodell was booed by the crowd
and spectators chanted about
their desirefor areturnof football,
the Panthers got the draft goingby
making their widely anticipated
choice of Newton.
I wouldnt say I have more to
prove to people, Newton said. I
have more to prove to myself. Its a
lot of goals and aspirations that I
have.
Three more quarterbacks were
taken in the top 12 picks of the
draft. Washingtons Jake Locker
went eighth to the Tennessee Ti-
tans. The Jacksonville Jaguars en-
gineered a trade with the Wash-
ingtonRedskins toget BlaineGab-
bert of Missouri 10th, two selec-
tions before the Minnesota
Vikings chose Florida States
ChristianPonder.
Defensive linemen also came
off the board quickly, and the
drafts early stages contained only
mild surprises. The Denver Bron-
cos took Texas A&M linebacker
VonMiller second, followedby the
Buffalo Bills selectionof Alabama
defensive tackle Marcell Dareus
third overall. Georgia wide receiv-
er A.J. Green went fourth to the
Cincinnati Bengals, Louisiana
State cornerback Patrick Peterson
was taken fifth by the Arizona
Cardinals and the Atlanta Falcons
traded up to get Alabama wide
receiver Julio Jones with the sixth
choice originally owned by the
ClevelandBrowns.
The ongoing courtroom clash
between the league and the play-
ers threatened to overshadowone
of thesportsshowcaseevents. The
players side held its own separate
event for the draftees and their
families at a nearby hotel hours
before the draft started.
About 2 1/2 hours before the
opening round began, Goodell
stoodinside a mostly empty Radio
City Music Hall and said: I spent
two hours outside with the fans
[Wednesday] night. They just
want it out of the way. They want
football. They want the draft and
theyre excited about being here
today. And theyre frustrated, just
as I am. Weve got to find a resolu-
tionto it.
The nights main storyline
clearly was the unique feel that
this draft had to it, coming in the
middle of the sports tumultuous
offseason and before teams have
had a chance to sign any veteran
free agent players to fill their
needs.
Thursday nights opening
roundcamethreedays after Susan
Richard Nelson, a St. Paul,
Minn.-based federal judge, grant-
ed the players request for a pre-
liminary injunction to end the
lockout imposed by team owners
March12.
The draft began against the
backdrop of the league pursuing a
stay of Nelsons injunction from
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
8th Circuit, and hours after the
NFLannouncedtentative plans to
resume some aspects of its opera-
tions Friday in an attempt to com-
ply withNelsons injunction.
About half an hour before the
draft began, fans inside the hall
chanted: We want football! We
want football! Goodell was booed
byfans whenhewas announcedto
the crowd approximately 20 min-
utes before the draft.
I hear you, Goodell told the
crowd. I hear you.
The We want football! chant
started again at that point, even
louder.
Me, too, Goodell told the fans
fromthe podium.
The crowds negative pre-draft
reaction to Goodell dissipated
when he led a moment of silence
for victims of the storms in the
South.
Goodell managed to prompt
cheers by the fans in attendance
when he officially opened the
draft by saying: Lets get back to
some football.
Less than a minute after an-
nouncing the Panthers were on
the clock for the top overall selec-
tion, Goodell returnedtothe podi-
um to confirm that Carolina had
doneasexpectedandchosenNew-
ton, the HeismanTrophy winner.
Controversy about Newtons el-
igibility swirled around him last
season, and some analysts raised
pre-draft questions about his NFL
readiness as a passer. But his tal-
ent was unquestioned, and it be-
came clear in recent days that the
Panthers were focused on him as
their pick to be the centerpiece of
their rebuilding project.
The Broncos, picking second,
went with Miller over Dareus.
Miller is one of the 10 named
plaintiffs in the players antitrust
lawsuit against the owners. Yet he
and Goodell greeted one another
with a hug, not just a handshake,
onthe stage.
Dareus went third to the Bills,
the first of the defensive linemen
to be taken. The Bengals, with
Chad Ochocinco talking about his
tenure with the team possibly be-
ing over, got the drafts most cov-
etedwide receiver inGreen.
Peterson was regarded as the
top cornerback available by a fair-
ly comfortable margin, and he
went fifthto the Cardinals.
The Falcons surrendered their
first-, second- and fourth-round
picks in this draft and first- and
fourth-round choices next year to
moveup21 spots inthefirst-round
order to get Jones.
Perhaps the first significant
surprise of the draft was Locker
being the secondquarterback tak-
en, ahead of Gabbert. But Gabbert
didnt drop far, going 10th to the
Jaguars. That was two spots after
the Titans took Locker.
You really dont have an idea
until your nameis called, Gabbert
said. Being the 10th pick in the
draft is pretty great inmy book.
The Vikings got a potential re-
placement for the retired Brett
Favre when they made Ponder the
fourth quarterback taken among
the topdozenselections. The early
run on quarterbacks had been
forecasted by many draft observ-
ers, who reasoned that teams un-
abletoget aveteranat theposition
this offseason would be eager to
fill that needondraft night.

Excerpts fromAllMetSports.com
Rain creates many
schedule problems
When Broadneck senior
Adrienne Gebele learned from
her softball coach last weekend
that the team was to play four
games this week, the All-Met
catcher had one question.
Why couldnt we play five?
she joked.
Unlike its spring team sports
siblings baseball, soccer and
lacrosse softball is an
anomaly. While most school
teams regardless of sport
typically play no more than two
games per week, a rash of
rescheduled dates have forced
teams to double that workload
on some weeks, challenging
some teams and players
collective strength and stamina.
Softball players, though, are
accustomed to playing plenty of
games in a short span.
Year-round travel teams play
four or five games on a
weekend day during the
summer.
While baseball pitchers are
limited to 14 innings over a
seven-day period in Maryland
and 10 innings on consecutive
days in Virginia, softball
pitchers face no limitations.
The underhand motion is
considered more natural and
puts less strain on an arm,
making pitching depth less
crucial to sustain a busy stretch.
Pitchers during the
weekend are going to throw
three, four games in a day, said
Westfield softball Coach Dean
Ferington, whose team is five
games behind in its schedule,
and that includes playing three
games on April 18, the first day
of spring break. They can
handle that.
As a catcher, Gebele might
play the most physically
demanding position for a
softball player.
Ive played five or six games
in a day before, so one game [a
day] is nothing, said Gebele,
who has signed with Ohio. Ive
got to get used to icing my
knees and taking some Advil,
but Id play every day if I could.
Most teenage athletes would
agree, and its up to the coaches
to rein them in. The demands of
other sports dont lend
themselves to rescheduling
games in such a short window.
Battlefield girls lacrosse
Coach Jenny Tran, whose team
has four games scheduled next
week, said, ideally, one or two
games in a week would give her
players the best chance to get
the most out of themselves.
Three games alone is a lot,
Tran said, but four games is
terrible, plus, weve got AP
testing next week. Thats going
to take a lot physically and
mentally out of our girls.

No. 1 Good Counsel with three
fast-break goals early in
Thursdays matchup of two
nationally ranked girls lacrosse
teams in Olney.
Falcons Coach Michael
Haight called timeout, but
couldnt stop the momentum.
His team trailed by 15 by the
time it found its footing in the
second half and ended up with
a 22-8 loss to the Long Island
school.
The Friars (8-1) were ranked
fifth in the country by ESPN
RISE and looked every bit the
powerhouse early.
The Falcons (14-2) struggled
to catch up to Georgetown
recruit Lauren Schwalje, who
had three goals and two assists.
The Friars went up 17-2 with
about 20 minutes to play on a
goal by another future Hoya,
junior Annie Heagerty.
Good Counsel outscored St.
Anthonys the rest of the way,
including a 3-0 run capped by
an outstanding spin move and
goal by All-Met midfielder
Brigid Smith.
We just wanted to prove
that we could play with them,
said Smith, who had two goals
and an assist. We wanted to
get it back up to a better score
for ourselves.
Kelly Lechner had three
goals and an assist for Good
Counsel.

BY CARL LITTLE
philadelphia Alexis Franklin
ran the fastest time of the season
by a U.S. high school girl in the
400-meter hurdles Thursday at
the 117th Penn Relays, but still
only finished second against
speedy international competi-
tion.
The Old Mill junior, who is the
defending Maryland 4A champi-
on in the 100 hurdles and 300
hurdles, was at her best at historic
Franklin Field. She was smooth
over the 10 barriers and finished
in 59.07 seconds, a personal-best
time on the first day of the three-
day meet.
It was attack and go over, said
Franklin, the first American girl
to break one minute this spring.
Just go as fast as I could.
Ristananna Tracey of Jamaicas
Edwin Allen was the winner. She
took control from the start and
easily separated from the rest of
the field before freezing the clock
in 56.17. That time broke the
previous Penn Relays record of
56.90 that was set in 2006. It was
nearly two full seconds faster
than the winning time in the
college womens 400 hurdles run
20 minutes earlier.
Carroll junior Kiah Seymour
won the second of three sections,
but finished ninth overall in
1:01.97.
Thea LaFond was the areas
only individual champion. The
Kennedy senior came from be-
hind to win the triple jump,
stretching out to 41 feet 3.25
inches, the eighth-best mark in
meet history.
LaFond, the All-Met Athlete of
the Year indoors, got off to an
awful start, fouling her first two
jumps by stepping way over the
board. With just one more at-
tempt left to qualify for the final,
she jogged up to the board in-
stead of sprinting, made sure she
planted her foot in the proper
spot and sprang 38-2, far enough
to safely advance.
The winning distance came on
her fifth attempt.
This is amazing, LaFond said
before receiving a gold watch in
front of an announced crowd of
22,750.
Lightning struck and rain
poured during the afternoon
rounds of the girls 4x100 relay,
causing the meet to be delayed 90
minutes. When it resumed, no
area school was able to qualify for
Fridays eight-team champion-
ship. No area team qualified for
the 4x400 final either.
The girls from Northwest,
however, did reach the large
schools 4x100 consolation final.
Britt Eckerstrom, Camry Torian,
India Knight and Olivia Ekpon
ran 48.47, the 11th-fastest time of
the day.
The Jaguars also qualified for
the Championship of America in
the girls 4x800 relay for the
second year in a row. Ekpon,
Knight, Achankeng Acha-mor-
faw, and Eckerstrom brought the
baton around in 9:13.69.
Its going to be showtime,
Eckerstrom said.
The boys events start Friday.

Eastern Conference
2 Boston vs. 3 Philadelphia
Outlook: The Bruins get a chance to pay back the Flyers, who rallied froma
three-games-to-none deficit against themin the second round last year and
won four straight to move on. Boston even had a 3-0lead at home in Game 7
that got away. Boston will again look to GTimThomas to make whatever
offense the Bruins put up be enough. Thomas fell a bit short of the 2.00
goals-against average and .938 save percentage he posted in a likely Vezina
Trophy-winning regular season, but he was still quite sharp at 2.25and .926
while playing every minute in the first round against Montreal. Brian Boucher
claimed the Flyers No. 1 goalie job, relieving ineffective Michael Leighton in
Game 6, and carried Philadelphia to an OT win at Buffalo. Then he was steady
as the Flyers cruised to a 5-2win in Game 7. He finished with an impressive
2.10goals-against average and .934save percentage in six appearances.

1 Vancouver vs. 5 Nashville
Outlook: The top-seeded Canucks, who nearly blewa 3-0series lead in the
first round, had only one day off between their Game 7 win over Chicago and
Thursday nights second-round opener against Nashville. Alex Burrows also
excelled in the first round with three goals and was the difference in Game 7
when he scored both goals, including the OT winner. The Canucks made the
most of their fine goalie tandemin the first round, getting four wins from
starter Roberto Luongo, but also getting playing time for backup Cory
Schneider, who got into three games and even got a surprise start in Game 6.
Luongo will be considered the second-best goalie in the series to Nashvilles
Pekka Rinne, who finished third in the regular season in goals-against
average and second in save percentage. The Predators reached the second
round for the first time in franchise history by eking past Anaheim, with a
22-20scoring advantage in the six-game series.

2 San Jose vs. 3 Detroit
Outlook: The Red Wings are similar to the group that lost to the Sharks in five
games at this stage a year ago. The one major difference? A year ago, Detroit
had one day off after a draining first-round series against Phoenix; this year,
the Wings have had more than a week off, following a sweep of the Coyotes.
Theyll also welcome back leading scorer Henrik Zetterberg, who missed the
opening round because of a knee injury. Detroit didnt seemto miss himin
the first round, averaging 4.5goals in the sweep. with Pavel Datsyuks two
goals and four assists leading the way. San Jose, however, can match the Red
Wings talent at forward. Ryane Clowe has four goals in the postseason, and
Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Logan Couture had two apiece. The series
may be decided by which unproven goaltender San Joses Antti Niemi or
Detroits Jimmy Howard can deliver his teamto the conference finals.

Fromnews services and staff reports
Western Conference
The most conspicuous absence
on the scoresheet so far this
postseason is No. 1 center Nicklas
Backstrom. Held to one point
against New York, it will be clear
soon enough if the 23-year-old
Swedes struggles were purely
related to that opponent or the
start of a significant drought.
There can be no larger stage
for Washingtons all-star roster
than on special teams, either. The
Capitals received timely power-
play goals in the first round (3 for
capitals from D1 18) but the Lightning has inflict-
ed maximum damage on the
man-advantage this postseason
with a 29.6 percent success rate
(8 for 27).
Neither Washingtons penalty
kill (19 of 20) nor Tampa Bays (34
of 35) allowed more than one
goal in the first round.
But the continued steadfast
reliability of one of those units is
likely to change during the series.
The Capitals need to ensure it
isnt theirs that suffers a break-
down.
I think thats a big challenge,
and obviously thats a big key in
the playoff series, Backstrom
said. We have to make sure we
know what theyre gonna do.
They have great players on the
power play too. We just have to
avoid it as much as we can.
Discipline will play a role in
simply not giving the Lightnings
effective power play any opportu-
nities, but it will likely be up to
both teams veterans to play the
role of metronome.
While Tampa Bay may be mak-
ing its first trip to the second
round of the playoffs since 2004,
when it won the Stanley Cup,
there are three players Martin
St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier and
Pavel Kubina who played inte-
gral parts in that championship
season.
The Capitals have been galva-
nized by postseason disappoint-
ment, andonly JasonArnott, who
has played 16 games with Wash-
ington, was a prominent part of a
Stanley Cup winning squad.
Then there is what should be a
superb battle in goal, where vet-
eran Dwayne Roloson, 41, and
rookie Michal Neuvirth, 23, will
see far more dangerous offensive
threats than they did against
Pittsburgh and NewYork, respec-
tively. In the American Hockey
League, Neuvirth developed a
reputation as a netminder who
relishes games in which the
stakes are the highest. Much may
hinge on whether he can surpass
the grizzled Roloson, who also
carries a background of success
when it matters most.
Those elements helped Wash-
ington wrestle the top spot in the
division away fromthe Lightning
during the regular season, and
they can aid the effort once more.
As this rivalry takes a turn into
the playoffs, though, Tampa Bay
is determined to not allow Wash-
ington through this time.
The way we look at it, its time
to change. We want to be the top
team, Lightning forward Sean
Bergenheim said. If you have
this team that has been consid-
ered for a while to be number one
and a new team thats trying to
take their spot, theyre feeling
threatened and we really want
that spot.

Excerpts from
washingtonpost.com/
capitalsinsider
Lightnings been
a two-faced foe
One of the most
interesting aspects of the
Capitals second-round
matchup with the Lightning
is how this familiar foe can
play two seemingly opposite
styles at any given moment,
and in any given game.
Tampa Bay thrives off
nothing more than an
opponents turnovers. How
many times its able to
pounce on a poorly protected
puck will often dictate
whether the transition game
will be attacking in waves of
odd man rushes, or if its 1-3-1
defense is hanging back and
smothering.
The Capitals have seen
both sides of Tampa Bay over
the course of the season,
sometimes in single games,
and making sure they take
care of the puck may be
paramount in this series to
combat either one.
It could be that sit-back
style, it could be pressure,
theyre good at either,
defenseman Karl Alzner said.
Its going to be interesting.
The Lightings ability to
adjust was apparent in its
first-round victory over
Pittsburgh as it rallied from
down three games to one in
the series with a mix of
offense and stifling defense.
Facing elimination in
Game 5, Tampa Bay trounced
the Penguins, 8-2, then
received contributions from
the grinders in a 4-2 Game 6
victory before buckling down
for a 1-0 triumph in Game 7
to advance.
I think the main thing
about the way they play is
that they capitalize on your
mistakes and they try to force
you into making mistakes
whether its in the neutral
zone, or in your zone or
wherever, forward Matt
Bradley said. They have the
guys that can really make you
pay if you make mistakes. So
I think the key is sticking to
your game plan and not
making those mistakes.
Blackout practice
With storms and tornado
warnings across the
Washington area the past
day, it wasnt too surprising
that the power briefly went
out at Kettler Capitals Iceplex
on Thursday morning,
plunging the rink into
darkness just as the Capitals
were about to start practice.
Cue the jokes about the
Capitals second-round foe,
the Tampa Bay Lightning,
striking the facility.
The lights came back on
shortly afterward and
practice wasnt delayed in
any way, with Coach Bruce
Boudreau leading one more
full session before Fridays
Game 1 at Verizon Center.
Just as they did
Wednesday, Dennis Wideman
(hematoma) and Mike
Knuble (suspected right hand
injury) took part in an earlier
session led by strength and
conditioning coach Mark
Nemish, as did D.J. King and
the Capitals black aces,
Braden Holtby, Mathieu
Perreault, Patrick McNeill
and Steve Pinizzotto. All
other players were on the ice
for the regular session except
for Tom Poti (groin), who
didnt skate at all Thursday
morning.
The Lightning traveled to
Washington after its 1-0,
series-clinching victory over
the Penguins on Wednesday
night, but the team did not
practice Thursday.
Katie Carrera
Lightnings hot goalie should strike fear in Capsland
T
here are many reasons the
WashingtonCapitals
shouldbe wary of the
Tampa Bay Lightning. Theres
goal-scoring phenomSteven
Stamkos, veterans Vincent
Lecavalier andMartinSt. Louis,
bothof whomhave their name
inscribedonthe Stanley Cup, and
their infinitely preparedcoach,
Guy Boucher.
The biggest reason, though, is a
player who didnt evenstart the
seasononthe Bolts roster:
Dwayne Roloson.
It couldbe arguedthat the
goalie withthe gray playoff beard
was the MVPof the first round,
yielding only four goals over the
final three games as the Lightning
ralliedfroma three-games-to-one
deficit against the Penguins.
Rolosonpunctuatedhis
quarterfinal heroics Wednesday
inPittsburgh, turning aside all 36
shots for a series-clinching, 1-0
victory to showthat, evenat 41
years old, he has a penchant for
coming uphuge under the most
intense pressure.
Withthe win, Rolosonbecame
the oldest NHLgoalie to earna
shutout ina Game 7. It also
solidifiedhis status as a hot
goalie the two scariest words
this time of year.
WhenremindedonThursday
morning that Rolosonhad
improvedto 6-0 inhis career
whenfacing elimination, Capitals
CoachBruce Boudreaurolledhis
eyes before firing back, I know
exactly what he is.
One of the things about him
not to pumpuphis tires is hes
really goodunder pressure,
addedBoudreau, who recalled
getting swept by Rolosonina
minor league playoff series in
1999. Very muchlike [Bostons]
TimThomas, hes a competitive,
competitive guy. He stops the
puck whenhe has to.
Before beating the Penguins,
the highlight of Rolosons career
hadcome inspring 2006, when,
after being acquiredby
Edmontonat the trade deadline,
he carriedthe eighth-seeded
Oilers to the Stanley Cupfinals. At
one point, Rolosonwonseven
consecutive contests andwas an
early front-runner for the Conn
Smythe trophy as the MVPof the
playoffs. But a sprainedknee
sufferedinGame 1 sidelinedhim
for the rest of the finals, andthe
Oilers eventually succumbedto
the Carolina Hurricanes six
games later.
This postseason, Tampa Bay
General Manager Steve Yzerman
is asking Rolosonto do it one
more time. Yzermandealt a
prospect to the NewYork
Islanders onJan. 1 for Rolosonin
anattempt to shore upthe
Lightnings shaky goalie
situation.
Washingtonhadthumped
Tampa Bay, 6-3 and6-0, inthe
teams first two meetings of the
season. Goals, however, became
muchmore scarce after Rolosons
arrival. He shut out the Capitals,
1-0, inhis first game withthe
Lightning, thena week later beat
themagain, 3-0. Inall, Roloson
posteda recordof 2-2-1, a
minuscule 1.38 goals against
average, a scintillating .953 save
percentage andtwo shutouts
against the Capitals (including
one start as anIslander) this
season. Among the teams he
facedat least four times, those
were his best numbers.
Onthe eve of Game 1, the
Capitals didtheir best to sound
unconcerned.
Hes a goodgoalie, Brooks
Laichsaid. But everything inthe
regular season, youthrowthat
out the window. Regular seasonis
gone.
Its a newseries. The plan
doesnt change depending onthe
goalie youre playing. Its shots
andtraffic, try to take his eyes
away andget as many pucks there
as youcan.
Its no secret that net presence
is critical to scoring goals inthe
playoffs. But, as many of the
Capitals pointedout, Rolosonis
especially susceptible to traffic
because of his style of play and
temperament. Unlike the New
York Rangers Henrik Lundqvist,
Rolosondoes not rely on
impeccable technique andangles
to stopshots. Hes a battler who
relies oninstinct andreflexes,
which, occasionally, causes himto
overcommit andbite onfakes.
He also strays fromthe cage to
play the puck, sometimes with
disastrous results.
Rolosoncanalso be a hothead.
For proof of that, one doesnt need
to look further thanthe Capitals
visit to Tampa onFeb. 4. Grinder
Matt Hendricks bumpedRoloson,
who hadshut out the Capitals in
the teams previous two meetings,
to get himoff his game.
It worked. Rolosonresponded
withthree punches to the back of
Hendrickss helmet withhis
catching glove. The Capitals
scoredthe next three goals and
pulledaway for a 5-2 victory. It
markedthe only time this season
that they managedto score more
thantwo goals onRoloson.
Hes beenplaying goodandI
heardhes really goodin
eliminationgames, defenseman
Karl Alzner said. Thats great.
But weve got to try to get inhis
headas early as we can.
Hendricks added: I dont
knowif youneedto hit himor
anything physical. But youhave
to get infront of him, make his
job difficult, make it toughfor
himto see pucks, a lot of traffic,
the things that make goalies
frustrated.
Theres another reasonto make
Rolosonwork hard: Hes coming
off a physically andmentally
draining series andhadjust one
day to recover. If the Capitals
make Games 1 and2 taxing on
him, it will force Boucher to
decide whether to start himon
back-to-back nights inGames 3
and4 or turnto backupMike
Smith, who has never made a
postseasonstart inthe NHLand
has startedonly five games since
late December. Not to mention
the fact that Rolosonwas 0-2
whenstarting onconsecutive
nights for the Lightning, yielding
a total of 10 goals andgetting
pulledonce.
Rolosonisnt the biggest name
inthe Tampa Bay dressing room.
Infact, he doesnt evenhave the
better goals against average of the
starting goalies inthis series.
That belongs to Capitals rookie
Michal Neuvirth, who
surrendereda stingy 1.38 against
the Rangers inthe first round.
Still, theres something
reminiscent about what Roloson
has done this monthandthe run
he made withthe Oilers five years
ago. The Capitals chief objective
will be to make that first-round
performance a fleeting
reminiscence, rather thanthe
beginning of a crowning
achievement.

Tarik El-Bashir
Matchups
Capitals: 48-23-11, first place in Eastern Conference
Lightning: 46-25-11, second in Southeast Division)
Capitals won season series 4-1-1.
Forwards: This series is rather evenly matched at every position, beginning with each
teams talent-laden lineup of forwards. While Alex Ovechkin and Alexander Semin
combined for six goals against the Rangers, no other top-six forward scored more than
one. Meanwhile, Tampa Bays trio of Martin St. Louis, Steven Stamkos and Vincent
Lecavalier combined for eight goals in their series against Pittsburgh, while three other
Lightning players recorded at least two goals. With each squad gaining contributions
fromits role players Jason Chimera and Marcus Johansson for Washington and
Dominic Moore and Steve Downie for Tampa Bay what may shift the balance up
front is which teams star players can maximize their impact in the series, whether at
even strength or on special teams.
Defense: WhileboththeCapitals andLightning haveexplosiveoffensivepotential, each
teamhas madesteady defenseahallmarkof its play. Washingtonplayedastifling first
round, allowing anaverageof only 1.60goals against per contest. Its possiblethe
Capitals may get Dennis Widemanbackthis series after alengthy recovery fromaleg
hematomaandcompartment syndromehesufferedinlateMarch. That wouldgivethe
teamthreepuck-moving, right-handeddefensemeninthelineup. TampaBay shoredup
its bluelinewhenit pickedupveteranEric Brewer (fivepoints, team-highaverageof
25:43inthepostseason) at thetradedeadlinetocomplement fellowveterans Pavel
KubinaandMattias Ohlundandsecond-year player Victor Hedman.
Capitals coach: Bruce Boudreau was able to put his teamthrough several
practices this week to reinforce Washingtons systems in preparation for the second
round. The Capitals have yet to advance past the second round of the playoffs under
Boudreaus direction.
Lightning coach: First-time NHL Coach Guy Boucher gets much of the credit for
helping mold Tampa Bay into a contender immediately upon his arrival. Hes
younger than goaltender Dwayne Roloson, but everyone has bought into his plan.
Goalies: Washingtons 23-year-oldMichal Neuvirth(.946, 1.38) is the youngest
netminder remaining inthe postseason, while his TampaBay counterpart, Roloson
(.949, 1.77), is the oldest at 41. Bothare atopthe postseasonstatistics, but bothwill
needto rise to the challenge of facing arguably more consistent andimposing offenses
inthis EasternConference semifinal thanthey didinthe first round. Neuvirthshowed
his calm-as-a-cucumber demeanor against the Rangers, seemingly unaffectedby the
number of net-crashers that came his way. Withaset of back-to-back contests
scheduledfor Games 3and4inTampa, though, it will be interesting to see howboth
goaltenders holdupthroughfour games insix nights.
Prediction: Capitals in seven.

BY DAVID MALITZ
There is one best way to experience the
rock-and-roll tornado that is J Roddy Wal-
ston & the Business knock back a few
beers (or something stronger) and stand a
few feet away to witness Walston bashing
at the piano, lurching and shouting in his
always-on-the-verge-of-hoarse voice as his
unruly mane whips to and fro. Meanwhile,
watch as his three bandmates work them-
selves into an immediate sweat, pumping
out riveting roadhouse rock-and-roll.
The Baltimore-based quartet is the
prototypical live band, the kindof act you
must see in person to truly appreciate. In
anage of blogs andTwitter, Walstonandhis
mates thrive through the most old-school
of methods word of mouth. Its hard to
imagine seeing them play and not passing
on an endorsement to a friend.
Band members knew this was the case
but found it hard to capitalize on when
visiting a city once or twice a year. So, what
if they visited a city more often? Maybe
every week?
That was the thinking behind the bands
current residency tour, during which the
Business plays weekly shows at the same
venue in Philadelphia, New York and
Washington. The band is halfway through
four consecutive Wednesday gigs at the
Rock & Roll Hotel and hopes to see repeat
customers as well as fresh faces each time
out. The group is taking its responsibility
seriously, promising unique shows but
without self-indulgent moments.
We dont want one week for it to be
really explosive, and the next week they
[bring friends] and its me and a string
quartet, Walston, 30, says witha laugh. So
there will be some consistency, but at the
same time we want people to feel like the
whole thing is a collective experience. We
never play witha set list. There arent really
any rules.
The band has turned winging it into an
art, with a years-long dedication to touring
that began when Walston left his native
Tennessee for Baltimore and formed the
current band. Theyve crisscrossed the
country countless times, luggingthat piano
along, no matter how inconvenient. And,
make no mistake, there are times when its
a hassle. Carrying the instrument is a
full-band effort, but sometimes a venues
narrowstaircase make it a two-person job.
You get to the top and you feel like your
backs gonna break, Walston says of the
occasional heavy climb. There are differ-
ent times where promoters are like, Well,
we have keyboards. And Im like, I dont
play keyboards. I play piano. Its not like
youll tell a guitar player to play a keytar.
Walston's love for the instrument began
as a child, when he would watch his
grandmother play.
She had a real visual style of playing
where youre playing the same chord but
your hands are bouncing all over the place,
so it looks like youre doing a lot, he says.
Walston passes the credit to guitarist Billy
Gordon for the complicated licks Im
more of a rhythm guitar player, Walston
claims but theres no doubt that hes the
focus.
For all of their live might think of the
stadium ambitions of My Morning Jacket
andthe dirty charmof Drive-By Truckers
the band has also turned in an impressive
self-titled debut album that captures the
throwback rock-and-roll power of the live
show. It was releasedby Vagrant Records
home to such big acts as Edward Sharpe &
the Magnetic Zeroes, the Hold Steady and
Stars. After so many years of answering to
no one but themselves, Walston and his
mates are coming to terms with other
people helping to call the shots.
Its the same as any relationship, Wal-
ston says. You can choose to be by yourself
and you dont have to deal with anybody.
But you dont get the benefits.
One of those benefits is moving out of
clubs onto some bigger stages. The band
has a diverse festival lineup ahead, with
performances scheduled for Lollapalooza
(the premier indie festival), Austin City
Limits (songwriters central), All Good Fes-
tival (a haven for jambands) and Lebowski
Fest (what Walston calls the coolest of the
nerd fests).
Despite the different crowds theyll en-
counter, Walston is counting on the bands
honesty and excitement to win over unsus-
pecting audiences.
What people are reacting to is that its
authentic, he says. Were not putting on a
rock-and-roll mask.
Good thing, because that mask would be
filled with sweat in about 30 seconds.

NewMusic Bands performing here this week
As prolific as he is, jazz pianist Vijay
Iyer isnt known for casually undertaking
new projects. In the liner notes to his first
unaccompanied session, Solo, he recalls
an early fascination with Duke Ellington,
Thelonious Monk and other influences:
. . . the audible poise behind the notes,
the purposefulness with which the piano
is confronted, the grandeur in the ap-
proach.
Those lessons pay off handsomely on
Solo, first with a richly harmonized in-
terpretation of the Michael Jackson hit
Human Nature and then with a series of
original tunes and jazz standards that re-
veal a keen attention to detail and dynam-
ics. And, yes, tunes by Ellington (a re-
sounding, two-handed Black & Tan Fan-
tasy) and Monk (an imaginatively recon-
figured Epistrophy) rank among the
highlights, alongside One for Blount,
Iyers knotty tribute to Sun Ra.
Iyers new trio album, Tirtha, marks
Iyers first recording collaboration with
two renowned musicians from India: gui-
tarist Prasanna and tabla player/vocalist
Nitin Mitta. Tirtha is Sanskrit for cross-
ing, but you neednt be aware of the defi-
nition or Iyers previous cross-cultural
recordings to appreciate the distinctive
chemistry that elevates the album. It
boasts nine original compositions, and ra-
zor sharp interplay is evident throughout.

Kindred spirits: Duke Ellington, Thelonious

Show: The Iyer Trio, with bassist Stephan

Saturday at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue. Show

$30.
Influences past and present
FELICIA CARTER AND AMY SHOOK
Nothing to Do
Kindred spirits: Alberta Hunter, Peggy Lee,
Ray Brown
Shows: Friday and Saturday at Twins Jazz.
Shows start at 9 and 11 p.m. 202-234-0072.
www.twinsjazz.com. $15.
You wont find singer Felicia Carter and
bassist Amy Shook dutifully saluting
prime influences on Nothing to Do.
Theyre too busying toasting boisterous
spirits, celebrating witty songcraft and
conjuring warm lyricism.
Case in point: Carters You Dont Have
to Be Brilliant (to Mesmerize Me), the al-
bums most engaging
and evocative track.
It takes its cue from
Alberta Hunters clas-
sic blues anthem
Two-Fisted, Double
Jointed, Rough and
Ready Man, and al-
though Carters allur-
ing voice is no match
for Hunters brassy shout, the perfor-
mance generates waves of charm and per-
sonality. By contrast, Shooks When It
Matters Most, a haunting ballad inspired
by John Coltrane, illustrates Carters quiet
flair for sustaining a soulful mood with
her intimate delivery and poetic lyrics.
Another treat is the albums title track, a
lazy-day musing penned by Carter that
would enhance a recording by, say, Diana
Krall or Madeleine Peyroux.
Even so, Carter and Shook arent the
only attractions. Pianist Bob Butta, drum-
mer Frank Russo and guitarist Donato So-
viero are featured prominently, whether
charging blues and bop tunes with vibrant
propulsion or colorfully accenting ballads.
In fact, thanks to their spirited collabora-
tions with Shook, much of the album
sounds as if were recorded in a concert
setting.
Mike Joyce
JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN
The Deep Field
Kindred spirits: Feist, Emily Haines,
Joss Stone
Show: With Sam Cooper and Duke Walker on
Wednesday at Jammin Java. Show starts at 8
p.m. 703-255-1566. www.jamminjava.com. $15.
Joan Wasser, who records under the
name Joan as Police Woman, cant quite
keep up with the company she keeps. Her
musical connections read like a whos who
of rock: She was Jeff Buckleys girlfriend
when he drowned in 1997; she played vio-
lin in the Dambuilders; and she has per-
formed or recorded with such musicians
as Antony and the
Johnsons, Rufus
Wainwright and Lou
Reed.
That kind of pedi-
gree doesnt always
translate to a compel-
ling solo career,
though, and Wassers
latest album, The
Deep Field, is hit or miss. The high points
are reminiscent of Feists best work. The
up-tempo The Magic scampers with a
frenzied energy, while Run for Love set-
tles into a sultry groove. The down-tempo
Flash stretches its dreamlike haze to
nearly eight minutes; Wassers unhurried
vocals sound as though theyre emerging
from a tortured trance.
Despite such enchanting moments,
much of The Deep Field sounds like
easy-listening R&B. Her warbling on Hu-
man Condition draws attention to the
songs mundane lyrics, and her words on
the grating Chemmie are just clumsy
(Cuz we got chemmie / we got a naughty
chemical reaction). Other songs, such as
the languid Forever and a Year, just fade
into the background, and thats precisely
the problem. Wasser is capable of grab-
bing attention, and its disappointing
when she falls short.
Catherine P. Lewis
BUFFALO TOM
Skins
Kindred spirits: The Replacements, Teenage
Fan Club, Superchunk
Show: With Mean Creek on Saturday at the
Black Cat. Doors open at 9 p.m. 202-667-4490.
www.blackcatdc.com. $20.
Buffalo Toms latest album, Skins, rep-
resents where the Boston trio feels most
comfortable after nearly 25 years: in its
own skin. These are guys in their 40s with
careers and families, after all, who sing
more for the straight-cut jean wearer than
for the skinny-jean types.
But while the bands preference in den-
im may have evolved,
the music that made
it a beloved alt-rock
outfit in the 90s en-
dures: The infusion of
pop hooks into post-
grunge rock songs is
alive and well on
Guilty Girls and
Down, not to men-
tion singer Bill Janovitzs full-throated vo-
cals.
Signs of maturation appear as the lyrics
begin to address midlife concerns. On
The Kids Just Sleep, bassist Chris Col-
bourn sings about fatherhood: As the sun
goes down, I put my kids to sleep / I won-
der if they hear their father start to cry.
And Janovitzs ballad with Tanya Donelly,
Dont Forget Me, laments the passage of
time: Dont forget me are the words shed
say / When we were young and on the
beach, and all drenched in spray.
The most raw, heartfelt track is The
Big Light, about Janovitzs uncle who was
killed in 2009: Blue dye a crime scene,
blood on the gates lock / Get over your
grief, get over the shock.
Skins is proof that grown-up rock-
and-roll doesnt have to be cliched; it can
be introspective, especially when written
by intelligent people.
Benjamin Opipari
HOT TUNA
Steady as She Goes
Kindred spirits: Little Feat, Little Village,
Little Charlie & the Nightcats
Show: Friday at the Birchmere. Show starts at
7:30 p.m. 703-549-7500. www.birchmere.com.
$35.
In 1959, Washington had a teenage
rock-and-roll band called the Triumphs.
Then, in 1965, two former Triumphs, Jor-
ma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, joined a
new San Francisco band called the Jeffer-
son Airplane, experimenting with ways to
electrify the blues.
The Airplane has come and gone, but
Hot Tuna, a spinoff band formed by
Kaukonen and Casa-
dy in 1969, has never
stopped gigging, re-
leasing its first studio
album in 21 years
and its best since 1972
with Steady as She
Goes.
Hot Tuna
Kaukonen, Casady,
mandolinist Barry Mitterhoff and drum-
mer Skoota Warner is joined by produc-
er Larry Campbell, who clarifies the
bands often cluttered sound, allowing
Kaukonens sparkling guitar lines and
Casadys surprisingly melodic bass lines to
shine through.
Hot Tuna nods to its roots with a ver-
sion of Goodbye to the Blues by Marshall
Wilborn of the Johnson Mountain Boys,
while Kaukonen and Campbells co-writ-
ten Angel of Darkness contemplates sin
and mortality with stomping blues-rock.
By contrast, Kaukonens Things That
Might Have Been is a lovely folk ballad
about familial trauma during his teen
years in D.C. And, fittingly, the bands take
on Mark Markham & the Jesters If This
Is Love is the kind of garage-rock gem
that might have been played by the Tri-
umphs.

NightLife
BY FRITZ HAHN
WhentheBullpenopenedinanemptylot
across from Nationals Park in 2009, the
outdoor bar really more of an overgrown
tailgate party withbands andgames of corn
hole was supposed to be a temporary fix
while fans waited for more bars and restau-
rants to arrive in the fast-growing ballpark
district.
Fast-forward two seasons and you can
count thenumber of permanent newbars in
the neighborhood on one finger: Justins
Cafe, which serves dirt-cheap microbrews
and tasty pizzas at its weekday happy hour.
Theres only one new arrival this season in
the form of Das Bullpen, another all-out-
door space from the owner of the Bullpen.
Located in another corner of the same lot,
the newcomer ditches the original Bullpens
loud rock and standing-around-drinking-
in-a-parking-lot vibe for picnic tables set up
on strips of real grass, where groups can sit
andtalk while drinking Europeanbeers.
We might have to wait until Stephen
Strasburg is back on the mound before the
riverfront district has a happening happy-
hour scene, but if youre heading out to the
ballpark this year, at least you wont go
thirsty.
DASBULLPEN
25 MSt. SE. www.thebullpendc.com.
No needto worry, sports fans: The Bullpen
hasnt affectedaEuropeanaccent or anaffini-
ty for soccer. Think of Das Bullpen, which
openedthismonthacrossfromtheHalf Street
Metro entrance, as the Bullpens contempla-
tive, worldly cousin. Where the Bullpen can
come across as frat party lite, with lots of
ballcap-wearing 20-somethings pitching
beanbags anddrinking out of aluminumBud
Lightbottleswhilerockingouttocoverbands,
Das Bullpens music is not as loud, and the
noise comes from groups laughing and talk-
ingwhilesittingatlongrowsof woodenpicnic
tables. Instead of Bud Light, the eight draft
beersincludeBoddingtons, CzechvarandLef-
fe, priced at $6 or $7 a cup. (Yes, your fancy
beer still comes in red plastic cups.) Under a
large wedding reception-style tent, a grill
turns out bratwurst and knockwurst with
sauerkraut andmustard.
Like the Bullpen, the land is owned by
Akridge and, until the economy tanked, was
tohave beendevelopedintooffice buildings
and condos called Akridge at Half Street.
Rather than let the lot lie fallow, the devel-
opers asked local restaurateur Robert Bo
Blair to open another venture to capture
baseball fans on their way to the game. We
thought thered be a market for an alterna-
tive to the Bullpen, Blair says. Something
more mellowwhere youcanhang out.
Hes onto something, especially with pic-
nic tables positioned over grassy strips.
Before one Nationals game, I noticed that
my date wasnt the only one whohadkicked
off her shoes. Though the high plywood
walls that surround Das Bullpen are a little
offputting who wants to hang out at a
construction site? its definitely an im-
provement over the Bullpen for those who
dont always feel like shouting over a band
before heading to the park.
JUSTINSCAFE
1025 First St. SE. 202-652-1009.
www.justinscafe.com.
The first real, honest-to-goodness bar in
the neighborhoodnot countingthe anon-
ymous couple of taps in the lobby of the
Hilton Garden Inn is Justins Cafe, which
arrived in the Velocity condo building last
spring. It immediately became a favorite
with locals who were starved for a place to
grab a beer, as well as Nats fans.
If youre going to a weeknight game,
Justins is a no-brainer, especially if you can
sneak out of work early. The progressive
happy hour means that, from4 to 6 p.m., all
draft beers are $3, rail drinks are $4 and
Firefly vodka cocktails are $5. From 6 to 7
p.m., those prices goupa buck, whichis still
a deal for a pint of Bells summery Oberon
wheat ale or Bear Republics hoppy Racer 5
IPA. Prices goupanadditional $1 from7 to8
p.m., but by that point, you should be mak-
ing your way to the stadium.
The small, one-room cafe is more of a
restaurant thana bar, andthe kitchenturns
out wheat-crust pizzas topped with hand-
cut meats and fresh cheese. The Greek-in-
spired Gadsden, topped with pepperoni,
feta, black olives and spinach, is a solid
choice; skip the Calhoun, which features
veggies atop ranch dressing. The sandwich-
es, including one with Italian sausage and
sweet peppers, are also a good choice. My
only advice would be to give yourself plenty
of time to eat; getting your food always
seems to take longer thanyoud think, espe-
cially when the place is crowded. (The fla-
vorful hot wings arrive quickly if youre
pressed.)

Robert Bo Blair, on Das Bullpen
Bars slowly enliven area near ballpark
FOODTRUCKROUNDUP
Its no secret that the area around the
stadiumcan be completely dead when the
Nationals are out of town. In an effort to drum
up business, restaurateur Robert Bo Blair is
planning a monthly festival called Truckeroo,
which he says will bring 15to 25food trucks to
the block-long parking lot between the
Bullpen and Das Bullpen. The concept: Grab
something to eat fromyour favorite truck,
then head to the Bullpen for a beer and to
catch live music or make your way to Das
Bullpen for a seat.
After meeting with a number of food truck
owners, Blair says the plan is to hold
Truckeroo on a Friday night beginning around
happy hour. The exact date has not been
finalized, but look for it to happen in May.
Details about future Truckeroos will be posted
on the Bullpens Web site, www.thebullpen
dc.com.

SABAI SABAI SIMPLY
THAIrr
19847 Century Blvd. (Germantown Town
Center), Germantown. 301-528-1400.
sabaisimplythai.com. Appetizers $4.95 to
$8.95, entrees $8.95 to $18.95.
Fred and CiCi Hart thought they were
retiring from the restaurant business in
2008 when they sold their Rockville
establishment, Benjarong, after a 15-year
run. Only a year later, they realized they
missed feeding strangers who had become
friends, hoped to help out some loyal
employees and found a location in
Germantown to solve that problem. The
repeating words in Sabai Sabai Simply Thai
translate as relax, relax. The directive is
easy to follow, given the soothing palette of
orange and lime, and what sounds like lute
music in the dining room.
In addition to Thai classics that could be
found at Benjarong, the menu has two other
groups of offerings: street fare and
vegetarian dishes. The last collection is a
gesture to the Harts daughter, Vanda
Manprasert, who doesnt eat meat. Among
her other contributions to the restaurant are
the handsome photographs of street life in
her mothers home town of Bangkok.
My gang starts the first of several meals
by ordering appetizers that pretty much
every Thai eatery in the area stocks. The
table is soon crowded with springy, slightly
greasy shrimp cakes; ground chicken (larb),
its heat matched by its sweet, delivered with
crisp lettuce for scooping; and steamed
dumplings made with pork and seafood,
their tops crunchy with fried garlic. The
appetizer with the most repeat customers at
my table hails from the vegetarian section:
bright kernels of corn suspended in a wisp
of fried batter and presented as nubby
golden cakes with a dip of cucumber. The
dish is simple, and simply wonderful.
The dish Im most eager to return to is
one of the items flagged as a street snack: a
big bowl of sliced braised pork leg. The
super-tender meat floats in a broth zapped
with star anise and stinging with vinegar,
shocks of flavor that keep my fork returning
for more. Spicy catfish is one of Sabai
Sabais signatures. The entree, arranged
with clusters of tiny peppercorns, green
chilies and fried Thai basil, seduces first the
eyes, then the taste buds; the combination
of those seasonings with the crisp and
snowy fish fillets is quite pleasing.
The setting at Sabai Sabai lets you relax,
relax. The kitchen encourages you to eat,
eat. (Reviewed April 17)
GALILEO IIIrr
600 14th St. NW. 202-783-0083.
www.robertodonna.com. Lunch appetizers $10
to $15, entrees $18 to $26; dinner, $55 for
three courses, $72 for four courses, $89 for
five courses.
I feared I would never get around to writing
a formal critique of one of the most talked-
about restaurants in recent memory. And
thats not just because Galileo III, rolled out in
October by longtime Washington chef Roberto
Donna, who announced the project in 2008,
took seemingly forever to open. A lot of chefs
mention a launch date and blowthe target.
What set this missed appointment apart was
Donnas spate of legal problems, including his
failure to pay meal taxes and employees at
two earlier restaurants.
After a couple of visits in the fall, when I
found mostly respectable but familiar
cooking, I decided to put the restaurant on
the back burner. The last thing I wanted to
do was to describe for readers a place that
wouldnt be around for long. So I waited for
the restaurant and the chef, a native of
Italys Piedmont, to show me they had
staying power and something other than
doubtful rumors to add to the scene.
They succeeded. More recently, I found
splendor in a budino (pudding) that looked
just like creme brulee but whose torched
surface cracked open to reveal indulgent,
near-liquid layers of porcini cream, burrata
and Parmesan cheese. I encountered pomp
as well in a pretty tower of citrusy pressed
tuna, smoked tuna and bottarga rising from
a cake made of shiny beads of Sardinian
pasta and minced vegetables. Strips of liver
seasoned with bay leaves and wine and
arranged on a bright yellow circle of soft,
soothing polenta had the power to convert
people who typically avoid organ meats.
With each visit, the food got better. I
needed to get my confidence back, Donna
explains.
Located in the former Butterfield 9, the
dining room, bold in colors that suggest
autumn, is spread across multiple levels,
the most interesting of which for food fans is
the sunken downstairs. Thats where you
can watch Donna, front and center,
performing behind a big stainless-steel
counter in his open kitchen.
The dining landscape, and the chefs
fortunes, have shifted dramatically since
Donnas glory days at Galileo downtown,
when the 1996 James Beard award winner
was hailed as one of the regions top talents.
Will the restaurant endure? Is this
Donnas last chance for success? What
began as a soap opera has settled into
something more savory, at least for the
moment and from my side of the table.

301-229-0680. Appetizers $4 to $20; pizza
and sandwiches $9 to $13; entrees $16-$19.
Candy Sagon is a former writer for The
Posts Food section. She filled in for Tom
Sietsema, who was on assignment.
Its obvious by the crowd squeezed into
the tiny waiting area and clinging to the few
seats at the cramped bar that Cabin John
has fervently embraced its newest
restaurant, Wild Tomato. It was opened
three months ago by chef Damian Salvatore,
who also owns Persimmon in Bethesda, but
word has spread like a viral video that the
neighborhood finally has a nice sit-down
place in the space where a lackluster pizza
counter used to be.
Yet, while I understand its neighbors
enthusiasm about having more options
along a stretch of MacArthur Boulevard that
has offered sandwiches, sushi and not
much else, Im not 100 percent in love with
Wild Tomato.
The New Orleans-style barbecued
shrimp tasted sharply of iodine when we
had it on our first visit. Our burger on
another visit was dry and overcooked. The
only thing that kept the tenderloin from
being a complete disappointment was the
creamy polenta and braised kale that came
with it.
In fact, there wasnt a vegetable we tried
at Wild Tomato that wasnt stellar. Take the
mixture escorting the pan-seared salmon.
Yes, the salmon was moist and perfectly
done, but the real reason for ordering the
dish is the bed of tiny French green lentils
and mushrooms beneath the fish. They are,
in a word, stunning.
Order the Smokin Pizza. The thin,
chewy crust supports bacon, smoldering
chorizo, marinated peppers, mushrooms,
smoked mozzarella and what appears to be
your run-of-the-mill tomato sauce until you
take a bite. The kiss of chipotle that wasnt
apparent to the naked eye is readily obvious
to the naked tongue. Its not incendiary; its
just like a flash of heat that lights up the
other flavors. (Reviewed March 27)

SCOTT SUCHMAN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
Bayou has tempting NewOrleans favorites, including po boys with a choice of eight fillings.
BAYOUrr
2519 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. 202-223-6941.
www.bayouonpenn.com. Appetizers $4.95 to
$11.95, entrees $16.95 to $23.95.
Rusty Holman is perhaps
best known in Washington food
circles as the second choice to
run the kitchen at Andy Shallals
Southern-inspired Eatonville in
Shaw. The winner of a widely
publicized contest two years ago
was fired even before Eatonville
opened; No. 2 finisher Holman,
a native of North Carolina, was
then promoted to top toque.
Holman, 37, left Eatonville in
March of last year and
eventually found his way to
Bayou in Foggy Bottom,
formerly the Rookery, an
invitation-only club, both run by
a team that owns half a dozen
local eateries (think Smith Point
and Surfside). Bayou has evolved
into a New Orleans-flavored
restaurant that has live music
Wednesdays through Saturdays.
Holmans po boys have a
choice of one of eight fillings,
including fried catfish,
barbecued shrimp, a vegetarian
selection (made with fried green
tomatoes) and juicy shaved roast
beef with the customary debris
and coleslaw, the last known as
Magazine Street. If I spent more
hours at the gym, Id splurge
more frequently on Holmans
decadent crawfish cheesecake.
Its a savory, spicy round of
cream cheese swirled with
smoked gouda, bell peppers,
crawfish and more, set on a base
of Parmesan and bread crumbs
and baked in a water bath. A
tangy tomato coulis helps cut
the richness (and relieves some
guilt in the eating).
Holman nails a lot of the
food, but not everything. The
surprise clunker here is the
gumbo. It has everything you
expect of the dish except depth
of flavor. (My search for a
consistently brassy gumbo
continues.) Bayous jambalaya
could be improved by
withholding the salt shaker from
the cook.
Not so long ago, Holman was
someones second choice to pilot
a kitchen. Right now, hes the
first chef I think of when I want
to visit New Orleans without
hopping on a plane.

Escapes
BY CHRISTINA BARRON
As royal-watchers worldwide fo-
cus on Fridays wedding of Britains
Prince William, the town of Lewes,
Del., prepares to mark another re-
gal occasion: Saturdays official
birthday of Queen Beatrix of the
Netherlands. The annual celebra-
tion is a chance for the town to
highlight a Dutch connection that
goes back 380 years.
Although Lewes is named after a
towninEngland, its beginnings are
Dutch. A ship from the Dutch West
India Co. landed in the area in 1631
to set up a whaling station called
Swanendael, or Valley of the Swans.
A dispute with local Native Ameri-
cans soon led to the slaying of the
28 Dutchmen. A second group ar-
rived in 1632, but the whaling sta-
tion was not a success and lasted
only three years.
More settlers came in the 1650s
and they beganto harvest timber to
send back to Amsterdam for ship-
building. It wasnt long before the
British took control of the area, but
the Dutch never left. The two
groups intermarried, and by the
20th century, very few Dutch fami-
lies remained.
In 1931, town officials decided to
mark the 300th birthday of the
landing by building a museum. The
Zwaanendael Museum, a striking
brick and carved stone building,
was designed after the city hall in
the Dutch town of Hoorn, home to
the areas first settlers. No artifacts
exist from the original settlement,
but the museum features a few
pieces of Dutch ceramics, clothing
and wooden shoes mostly from the
19th and 20th centuries.
One unusual item is a 17th-cen-
tury wooden koekplank, a cookie
mold with indentations onto which
the dough would be pressed to
create a pattern before baking. The
museum also explains the areas
maritime history, including the
sinking of the British warship HMS
deBraak in Delaware Bay during a
storm in 1798.
As you leave the building, you
cant help noticing the large por-
traits of the Dutchqueens Wilhelm-
ina, Juliana and Beatrix. Whats
interesting is that its been three
generations of queens, said Eliza-
beth Gott, lead interpreter at the
museum. Beatrixs son [Willem-
Alexander] will be the first king
theyve had in three generations.
He has daughters, so after that it
will be back to a queen.
Koninginnedag, or Queens Day,
goes back to the childhood of Wil-
helmina, who became the countrys
first female monarch in 1898. The
tradition continued with Juliana,
who reigned from 1948 until 1980.
The national holiday in the Nether-
lands now includes outdoor con-
certs, flea markets, food and drink.
More than a million people will
gather Saturday in Amsterdam to
honor Beatrix, who turned 73 in
January (but opts to celebrate dur-
ing a month thats nice for street
parties).
In Lewes, its a decidedly smaller
celebration. On Saturday, museum
docents clad in orange the
queens family is the House of Oran-
je-Nassau will lead a day of
Dutch-relatedchildrens games and
crafts, offer samples of orange sher-
bet and give a Dutch royal history
lesson.
In addition to the museum and
the abundant displays of tulips in
the spring, Lewes has a few other
Dutch connections worth explor-
ing. Part of the Ryves Holt House,
one block from the center of town,
dates to 1665 and is the oldest
house in Delaware. It nowserves as
the headquarters of the Lewes His-
torical Society.
The nearby Hiram Rodney Bur-
ton House, also owned by the his-
torical society, was built at least in
part by Dutch descendant Hel-
manus Wiltbank in the late 17th
century. It stayedinthe family until
1809. The Holt House canbe visited
year-round, but the Burton House
and several other historic buildings
on the same property are open only
during summer months.
Although Dutch cuisine isnt
among the offerings, the tiny down-
town features two culinary staples
in the Netherlands: seafood and
coffee. Jerrys Seafood, which spe-
cializes in an oversize crab cake
called a bomb, offers fish and chips,
shrimp scampi and other tradition-
al seafood choices. Striper Bites has
a more casual atmosphere with
equally good seafood.
The coffee lover who knows his
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from his
Mexican Cesmanch must stop at
Notting Hill Coffee Roastery. The
coffee comes by the bag or by the
cup, and when accompanied by a
blueberry muffin/turnover hybrid
is a giant step up from your chain-
store morning mug.
Other dining options include
Kindle, a cozy new earth-toned
restaurant with a modern Ameri-
canmenu; the French-inspiredBut-
tery; and a popular new Mexican
restaurant, Agave.
Save room for a scoop or two at
Kings Ice Cream, a fixture in town
for 30 years. If you miss the orange
sherbet at the Zwaanendael Muse-
um, Kings has it along with a
decadent Dutch chocolate, creamy
coffee and a knockout black rasp-
berry. After a day of fetinga faraway
queen, a visit to Lewes wouldnt be
complete without culinary homage
to the local King.

SUNRISECINEMA
Youve spent the night out at Wonder-
land, Meridian Pint or another Columbia
Heights watering hole. Last call comes and
goes, and then its 2 a.m. and time to think
about heading home.
Or is it?
Maybe your date went exceptionally
well and youre looking for an artsy
flourish to finish the night. Or maybe you
had a bit too much fun and need to sober
up before driving home. Whether youre
an avid cinephile or an unstoppable bar-
hopper, BloomBars Sunrise Cinema a
movie marathon from 2 to 6 a.m. on the
first Saturday night/Sunday morning of
every month is ready to entertain you.
BloomBars founder and director John
Chambers started Sunrise Cinema just
over a year ago. Chambers, formerly a
communications professional who
worked on public safety campaigns such
as Click It or Ticket, says he was looking
to provide a safe, alcohol-free, inclusive
atmosphere for a late-night weekend
crowd.
The idea is to keep people safe and
keep the roads safe, without being uncool
about it, says Chambers. So he started
screening movies from his ever-growing,
eclectic collection for whoever happened
by late on Saturday evenings.
Theres not much that could be con-
strued as uncool about BloomBars. At
night, the community art gallery, music
venue and movie theater looks like the
type of bohemian hangout one might
expect to find in an alley on the side streets
of Paris or Buenos Aires. Sidewalk chalk
ushers guests from the street into a
rowhouse with wide-open double doors.
Velvet curtains frame a large movie screen
and dark, art-lined walls glow with halos
of red and purple light. A professional
quality sound system and HD projector,
pillows, tea and just enough room for
about 35 chairs combine to yield both a
quality viewing experience and an inti-
mate, casual atmosphere.
As the first person there at a recent
screening, I got to select the starting film.
The dozens of options range from Pans
Labyrinth and Sideways to little-known
indie flicks from around the world previ-
ously featured in the weekly BloomScreen
Indie Film Night. I finally settled on
Goodbye Lenin!, 2003 German film
about a son and daughter who attempt to
hide German reunification from their
ailing socialist mother.
Its an off night for attendance. Only
three people wander in while Im there:
including, coincidentally, a young German
couple tickled at the sight of a German
film on the screen.
Catch a flick in the wee hours
Youve got a mix of the old neighbor-
hood thats been here for generations and
the new businesses, says Chambers, de-
scribing the surrounding area. Its close,
its convenient, but its a world away.
At 4 a.m. in the art space, with not a car
on the streets and dim, purple light
illuminating the screen, I couldnt help but
agree.
Jess Righthand
JOHN CHAMBERS/BLOOMBARS
Goodbye Lenin! was recently screened during BloomBars Sunrise Cinema.
TryThis!
When is it? The next Sunrise Cinema is
Sunday 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Arrive on the earlier
side if you want to help pick the films.
Where is it? BloomBars, 3222 11th St. NW.
202-567-7713. www.bloombars.com.
How much does it cost? A $10 donation is
suggested, though no one will be turned away
for lack of funds. Water and tea are served,
and guests are welcome to bring their own
snacks. No alcohol is allowed.

National
Harbor
Neighborhood Guide
BY LAVANYA RAMANATHAN
AND FRITZ HAHN
We already know what youre thinking.
How is National Harbor a neighborhood?
Its not, in any conventional sense. The
chain-store megalopolis on the shores of the
Potomac River has hotels the size of small
Texas towns. Theres a pet boutique, a high-end
jewelry shop and a Peeps store, but no grocery
store. And there are more parking spaces than
residents.
But only a few years after National Harbors
shops and restaurants began to open in 2008
(andThe Awakening sculpture was famously
uprooted from Hains Point and moved there),
it is locals who stroll the waterfront sidewalks
with their stroller-bound babies, and locals
who take the water taxi from Alexandria to
dinners at Ketchup and Bond 45 or drive from
Southern Maryland for a night at Bobby
McKeys. AndPrince Georges County residents
stop by with their families for an after-school
snack at Elevation Burger and meet their
girlfriends for after-work drinks at Rosa Mexi-
cano. Last fall, 145,000 people visited National
Harbor just to see Cirque du Soleil.
National Harbor might not be their neigh-
borhood, but it is their new downtown.
From spring through fall, its also festival
central: In two weeks the harbor will host a
food and wine festival, then an homage to Led
Zeppelin; after that comes a beer andbarbecue
bash and a multiday Beatles festival.
If youre festival-bound or just dying to see
what the harbor is all about, weve got the spots
that should make your itinerary.
1. McLoones
Pier House
141 National Plaza. 301-839-0815.
www.mcloonespierhousenh.com.
The way National Harbor plays
up its riverside location, you
would think that all the restau-
rants and bars along Waterfront
Street and Waterman Passage
would have large decks right on
the Potomac.
Wrong.
Some restaurants may have
picture windows anda viewof the
river, but no other restaurant is as
close to bobbing boats as
McLoones Pier House, which is
located the width of a sidewalk
fromthe piers that its name refers
to. Sit at one of the marble-topped
tables and watch the sun set over
sails and masts, and youll under-
stand why this is the best happy-
hour spot at National Harbor. It
doesnt hurt that the prices are
almost as good as the setting,
with $2.50 beers, $5 martinis and
half-price appetizers weekdays
between 4 and 7 p.m. The crowd-
pleasing specialty cocktails are
universally sweet, usually a for-
mula of rum plus fruit juice, but
they fit the on-vacation-on-the-
water vibe, especially if youre
ordering the calamari or peel-
and-eat shrimp.
This is the first McLoones out-
side New Jersey, and besides the
Jersey Shore-friendly cocktails,
there are other touches of the
original restaurants, which are
owned by musician Tim
McLoone: Jerseys Flying Fish
beer on tap and musicians
usually solo and acoustic per-
forming Monday through Satur-
day, beginning at 7 p.m. Some-

On May 27 the curtain will rise on another
spectacular season at Wolf Trap and the Filene
Center. There are hundreds of reasons why we
areexcitedabout thediversemixof performers we
are presenting this summer, but weve narrowed
it down to 40, in honor of our 40
th
anniversary.
When our founder, Catherine Filene Shouse,
donated 117 acres of land to be Americas only
National Park for the Performing Arts, she
began a tradition of support for innovative
programs that lives on today through our
mission and performances.
Recently voted Best Outdoor Venue by
both Washington City Paper and Northern
Virginia Magazine, Wolf Trap has grown to be
a time-honored tradition for so many in our
community. Thank you for your continued
support and for playing your part to keep the
Wolf Trap experience alivewe look forward
to seeing you often this summer!

From the rst time I went to an outdoor concert
as a child, I have always felt that it was a perfect
place to listen to music. Therefore, Im honored to
return to Wolf Trap on an annual basis.
Hardly any other venue compares
in terms of affordability, beauty,
and sound. Its the perfect place to
see any type of show.

World Class Performances by Renowned Artists
Take this short quiz to guess the artist, then check out the show listing on the next page for the answers!
Be There for the Lawn Rush!
This darkly comic musical on July 22 has such a macabre plot
that it attracted TimBurton to direct a movie version in 2007. E
This artist performing August 18 was a child entertainment prodigy,
working as an impressionist at age 12 and recording a smash hit single at age 16.
In between shows this country music star, performing July 23, supports
several causes, including the Humane Society and PETA.

It is a summer night at
Wolf Traps Filene Center.
You are on stage...You can see the rows and
rows of faces leading all the way up to the
jaw-droppingly high balconies, but beyond
this, there is a whole other country you
cannot see.
So you lean into the mic and, taking a
breath, you ask, How is everyone doing up
there on the lawn?
Immediately the loudest, most glorious, most
profoundly beautiful roar comes back at you, a
wave of voices in unison, letting you know that

lighting and a menu that features
lamb ossobuco and side portions
of polenta and fried artichokes so
large that theyre best shared
among you, your date and the
nice couple at the next table over.
That all explains why even on the
sleepiest of weeknights at Nation-
al Harbor, a steady stream of
conference-goers, couples and
tourists pour in. Its expense-ac-
count eating, so if you want the
experience without the bill, share
a plate of house-made cheeses or
ricotta crostini, or simply go for
the cocktails, which were
dreamed up by mixologist Dale
De Groff. Some come cute in
teacups, like old-style punches;
others, like the Tuscan Cooler
with Campari and tart San Pel-
legrino Aranciata, bring trendy
flavors to an area lacking in true
cocktail bars. In the summer, try
to snare a table on the deck,
which looks out over the water
(specify that youdlike anoutdoor
table when you make a reserva-
tion). Time it right, andyoumight
even catch the sunset.
3. Elevation
Burger
108 Waterfront St. 301-749-4014.
nationalharbor.elevationburger.com.
Elevation Burgers are, like sev-
eral other burger chains in Wash-
ington, popping up in the burbs
like the restaurant equivalent of
Whac-a-Moles. Howdoes it stand
out? It serves only grass-fed beef
burgers, fries crisped in olive oil,
shakes in flavors such as guava
and not one but two kinds of
veggie burgers. At National Har-
bor, where mega-restaurants turn
out broccoli rabe, avocado-jicama
salads and sashimi martinis, the
Virginia-based chainlet serves
something much more important
than organic beef: families and
the budget-conscious. Many
items on the menu including
the cheeseburgers, veggie burgers
and the shakes (which are easily
big enough for two) ring up at
less than $4, meaning you can
comfortably feed a family of four
(nominally healthful) burgers
and shakes for about $30, just as
long as Junior doesnt order the
10-patty Vertigo Burger. And if
youre inNational Harbor for only
a few hours, or hanging out for a
daylong festival, Elevation is the
place to reload without reserva-
tions. The restaurant is tiny, how-
ever, so get your food to go and do
your eating al fresco.
4. Art Whino
122 Waterfront St. 301-839-2870.
www.artwhino.com.
Theres so much graffiti in Art
Whino, its surprising that a
neighborhood association hasnt
mounted a campaign to paint it
over.
Its a curious pairing Nation-
al Harbor and a gallery that her-
alds artists inspired by comics,
skateboarding and graffiti cul-
ture. But Art Whino was among
the first businesses to sign on to
the development, moving toOxon
Hill in early 2008, when the har-
bors Coming Soon signs far
outnumbered actual tenants.
Since its move from a warehouse
space in Alexandria, Art Whino
has been working a hybrid busi-
ness model unlike that of most
local galleries: It sells both art
marked at thousands of dollars
and priced-to-move T-shirts and
objets, including intricate Japa-
nese-inspired toys that are dis-
played prominently in the win-
dows to catch the eye of impulse
ms

that the Chinatown incarnation

easier to soak up thanks to floor-

6. Potomac
Gourmet Market
180 American Way. 301-839-2870.
www.potomacgourmetmarket.com.
For urbanites, grabbing a bot-
tle of wine and wedge of cheese
for a picnic usually requires a trip
to Whole Foods or Trader Joes.
Thats why it feels so special to
stumble upon a true little gour-
met market at National Harbor.
Potomac Gourmet stocks anarray
of cheeses and wine a cachet of
thousands of bottles occupies a
central position in the shop but
dig a little further to find interna-
tional foods and a beer selection
that would make a D.C. resident
envious. The shelves are lined
with offerings rarely seen outside
of beer-focused bars, including
Kasteel Rouge and rare flavors of
lambic. For the folks who can call
themselves National Harbor resi-
dents (yes, there are condos clev-
erly concealed above all the street
action, and townhouses are on
the way), Potomac Gourmet
stocks conventional, everyday
foods, but the focus here is for
foodies. Grab something immedi-
ate for a picnic by the waterfront,
or stop in for something to take
home for later.
7. Bobby McKeys
172 Fleet St. 301-567-1488.
www.bobbymckeys.com.
On one recent Saturday night,
12 brides-to-be spent the waning
hours of their singledom getting
wild at Bobby McKeys. Twelve.
Why are piano bars like Bobby
McKeys magnets for bachelor-
ettes? Short answer: Theyre a
great unifier, places where
brides, birthday boys in glow
necklaces and corporate types
can belt out Sweet Caroline at
the top of their lungs without
judgment. And at this National
Harbor bar, dueling pianists
wont just play Neil Diamond,
theyll also perform piano ver-
sions of Queens We Will Rock
You, Bon Jovis Livin on a
Prayer or the Beastie Boys
Girls (one suspects that even
Bell Biv Devoe may be lurking in
their repertoire, if only someone
would request it). The 20-to-50-
somethings in the crowd hail
from Southern Maryland, Prince
Georges or National Harbors ho-
tels, and by 9:30 on a Friday or
Saturday night, every seat in the
two-story bar is taken. (Its an
excellent idea to reserve seats for
$15 per person.) Because the
nightly singalongs can get a little
blue the humor is classic mid-
dle-school variety the club also
hosts kids events every other
month, subbing out Journey for
Michael Jackson.
8. Cadillac Ranch
186 Fleet St. 301-839-1100.
www.cadillacranchgroup.com.
The shrieking is the first indi-
cation that someone is on the
bull. Its also the signal for every-
one in this rockin bar to swivel
and look toward the far corner of
the room, where a large mechani-
cal bull is surrounded by a thickly
cushioned pad. The whooping
and cheering increases as the bull
swivels and bucks, and abruptly
changes to laughter and applause
a few seconds later as the rider
picks himself up and rejoins his
ASTRID RIECKEN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
Don Peters, piano, and Jacob Wolfson, trumpet, performfor the bachelorette parties and birthday
parties that fill Bobby McKeys, a popular piano bar at National Harbor.
Theres no direct Metro rail access to
National Harbor (www.national
harbor.com), but there are a handful
of other options for getting there. The
lowdown:
By car: It can take 30 to 45 minutes
to get to the harbor fromdowntown
Washington with typical traffic, and
less time fromAlexandria and points
in Prince Georges County (National
Harbor is just off Interstate 295 and
Interstate 495). Free parking is
nonexistent, so park in one of the
public garages. (National Harbor has
several thousand parking spaces in
its three garages, enough to
accommodate even event-day
crowds.) Expect to pay $3 for an hour
to $11 for a full day.
By water taxi: Ferries, operated by
GETTINGTHERE
group.
This ritual plays itself out doz-
ens of times an hour at Cadillac
Ranch, a national chain whose
slogan might well be The Place
With the Mechanical Bull. The
decor is cheesy fake Western,
with old guitars and license
plates on the wall and the food
is adequate (the nachos topped
with pork are a perfect example:
good, smoky pulled pork atop
some of the worst tortilla chips in
the known world). It gets very,
very loud thanks to the cheering
bull riders andweekendDJs spin-
ning a mix of country and rock.
But readers often ask where
they can live out their Urban
Cowboy fantasies, and right now,
Cadillac Ranch is the closest such
spot to Washington. After a spicy
margarita or two, you might not
even mind the $3 charge for each
ride. (Schadenfreude is always
free.)
9. The Gaylord
National
201 Waterfront St. 301-965-4000.
www.gaylordhotels.com.
Its impossible to sail into Na-
tional Harbor and not notice it:
the $870 million Gaylord, a glass
behemoth that dwarfs everything
else at the harbor and, its said,
every hotel on the East Coast.
With 2,000 rooms, convention
space for days, wedding halls, a
serene English-style garden and a
complex of restaurants and bars,
including an over-the-top ultra-
lounge knownas Pose, it is botha
destination and a novelty. In the
summer, the Gaylord hosts its
own July 3rd fireworks celebra-
tion and party; in the winter, it
brings in a massive holiday dis-
play, indoor snow and 2 million
pounds of ice and Chinese ice-
carvers for a month-long exhibi-
tionknownas Ice! (About 8,000
people attend each day.) Want to
get apeekinside? Just walkinand
poke around. For its intimidating
size, its surprisingly open to the
curious.

FASTFIVE
Race down
memory
lane, again
BY SEAN OCONNELL
Quick! Name a Hollywood franchise that has
produced its finest installment on the fifth try.
Its tough to do, right? Everything from Harry
Potter to Police Academy tends to peter out
after two or three films. But the burly, brawny
Fast Five bucks the trend. By shifting into a
previously untapped gear, it delivers the most
entertaining Fast and Furious adventure
while also getting 2011s summer movie season
off on the right lead foot.
Lets not get too carried away, though. This
remains a Fast film and likely wont win over
new converts to the 10-year-old franchise. But
the reason this series has survived for a decade
is because it respects its target audience, caters
to their adrenalized needs and rarely tries to be
something it isnt.
This is a souped-up soap opera. Its Guiding
Light for guys. Chris Morgans script trots out
melodramatic plot twists that are the norm on
daytime television: unplanned pregnancies; be-
trayals orchestrated by close teammates; a
presumed-dead character returning from the
grave. But as long as cars are racing, metal is
crunching and bikinis are hugging female
curves, die-hard Fast fans either wont notice
or simply wont let it spoil their fun.
Aside fromits waywardthirdinstallment, the
Fast series has followed the dangerous ex-
ploits of monotone street racer Dom Toretto
(Vin Diesel) and Brian OConner (Paul Walker),
the ex-cop who gradually became Doms high-
flying partner incrime. The duos latest impossi-
ble mission takes place in and around Rio de
five continued on 35
JAIMIE TRUEBLOOD
Paul Walker, left, and Vin Diesel reunite for the latest installment in the Fast franchise. Fast Five adds Dwayne Johnson to the cast.

LEQUATTROVOLTE
The world turns,
without a word
BY MICHAEL OSULLIVAN
The stars of Le Quattro Volte are, in order of
appearance, anoldman, a baby goat, a giant tree
and a charcoal kiln. In point of fact, the kiln
appears briefly at the very start of this remark-
able Italian film by writer-director Michelange-
lo Frammartino, but its not until the end that
we knowwhat we were looking at.
Each subject protagonist is too active a
word defines one of four chapters of the
movie, which looks like a documentary but isnt
and which contains nary a word of audible
and/or significant dialogue. There are one or
two instances of murmured (and, in one case,
shouted) Italian, but there are no subtitles
provided, and none is needed.
It is a devastating, profound and at times
surreal work of art.
The title of Frammartinos film translates as
The Four Times, a reference to the notion that
Man, like the world itself, embodies the human,
the animal, the vegetable and the mineral. Each
chapter is separated by a screen blackout in
which one of those four elements of nature
transmigrates, as it were, into the next.
For instance: At the center of the first chapter
is a elderly goatherd (Giuseppe Fuda). We watch
as he and his charges move back and forth every
day between pen and grazing field. Each night,
the old man mixes a bit of dust fromthe floor of
the village church into water an old folk
remedy and drinks it to alleviate a bad cough.

PROM
As plots go, its
Mickey Mouse
BY SANDIE ANGULO CHEN
For movie lovers, prom evokes cinemat-
ic memories of pigs blood in buckets,
virginity-losing contests and Pygmal-
ion-style makeovers. You ll find none of
those things in Prom, Disneys chaste
take onthe annual highschool spectacular.
Nor will you find much excitement, ten-
sion or resemblance to actual teen culture
in this whitewash of the quintessential rite
of passage.
Director Joe Nussbaums story follows
Georgetown-bound class president Nova
Prescott (Aimee Teegarden, fresh off her
role in Scream 4) as she plans her
schools Starry Night bash. In her open-
ing voice-over, Prescott describes prom as
the one perfect night that unites all high
school seniors, regardless of their social
standing the past four years. In the 20
minutes that follow this idealistic and
unrealistic appraisal, guys devise increas-
ingly theatrical invitations to the big night:
PROM? the guys ask with sidewalk
chalk, windowsigns, stage lights and chest
paint. Despite all that, Novas date, hunky
but sensible valedictorian Brandon, mere-
ly asks Nova to carpool and hands her a
ticket.
Already reeling from her slug-line treat-
ment, Nova faces another early tragedy
when all of the promdecorations catch fire
three weeks before the big night (the
closest this pic gets to the prom-night
catastrophe of Carrie). To save the party,
Principal Dunnan (Jere Burns) orders
Jesse Richter (Thomas McDonell), a mo-
torcycle-riding truant, to help Nova re-
buildeverything inorder to graduate. Shes
a conformist overachiever, hes a troubled
soul; a third-grader could tell that the two
will fall hard for each other by the movies
halfway point.
When this teen drama hits Disneys
cable network, as it inevitably will, the
studios basic-cable censors will have abso-
lutely nothing to cut, and thats the prob-
lem. A pure-and-clean prom movie is
perfectly fine for a television special, like
the original High School Musical, but in a
feature film, it plays as shockingly inau-
thentic.
In Prom, none of the kisses are swoon-
worthy (on the big screen, a foot of space
between kissing teens is laughably notice-
able) and all the infidelities are insignifi-
cant. After Tyler (DeVaughn Nixon), the
dreamy lacrosse captain, secretly dates a
pretty sophomore, scorned girlfriend Jor-
dan (Kylie Bunbury) doesnt shed one tear;
she just dumps him the week before prom
and robotically takes down all the pictures
of him in her room. Even Lloyd (Nicholas
Braun), the one senior who threatens to
upset the pro-prom premise by failing to
find a date, comes off as charmingly witty
and winds up taking his younger step-sis-
ter.
The Bad Boy in Prom isnt even a bad
boy. Jesse looks the part, with his brooding
eyes and floppy hair reminiscent of Heath
Ledgers breakout performance in 10
Things I Hate About You, but hes actually
a devoted son to a working-class single
mom. The real reason he ditches last
period is to pick up his kid brother from
elementary school. When Novas dad
warns Jesse to leave his good girl alone,
youve got to wonder how he wouldve
reacted if someone genuinely edgy (say,
Judd Nelsons John Bender from The
Breakfast Club) had shown up with his
pack of smokes instead of a candy necklace
in his pocket.
InProm, everyones perfectly multicul-
tural but no ones unattractive, angsty,
subversive or an outcast. Nobody curses,
texts or talks about sex (much less plans to
have it). Obviously, not every teen movie
needs to be a raunchy, drug-filled caution-
ary tale to be believable, but this movie
fails to acknowledge that 18-year-olds be-
have any differently from 11-year-olds at
their fifth-grade dance. As a result, tweens
might make the ideal audience, because
anyone old enough to attend or remember
a prom will have trouble not laughing
aloud.
If theres a middle way of depicting teen
romance thats neither as crude as Ameri-
can Pie nor as tame as Disney Channel
fodder, Prom missed it.

HOODWINKEDTOO!
HOODVS. EVIL
The trouble
with truffles
BY MICHAEL OSULLIVAN
Like Hoodwinked, the 2005 fairy tale-
themed animated film, Hoodwinked Too!
Hood vs. Evil centers on a recipe.
In the charming original, someone was
stealing the instructions for making
sweets, putting mom-and-pop candy and
bake shops everywhere out of business. It
was up to Little Red Riding Hood (voice of
Anne Hathaway) to find out who done it
and to stop the villain.
In the sequel, someone has stolen the
recipe for a super truffle, a magical
confection with the power to give whoever
eats it dominion over the Earth. Once
again, Red (now voiced by Hayden Panet-
tiere) must get to the bottom of the
mystery. As before, she is aided in her
investigation by the Big Bad Wolf (Patrick
Warburton), Granny (Glenn Close) and a
hyperactive squirrel named Twitchy (Cory
Edwards, who co-wrote both films and
co-directed the first).
Same basic formula, similar shopping
lists.
But something is missing. From an
animation standpoint, both films suffer
from a stylistic stiffness. The computer-
rendered characters look and act like
ceramic Hummel figurines come to life.
Theyre clunky and ungainly. But while the
first filmwas lifted out of mediocrity by an
utterly delightful storyline a contempo-
rary and subversive take on Little Red
Riding Hood that turned its players roles
on their heads and unspooled like an
episode of Lawand Order the sequel is
a flat, plodding and largely mirthless
affair.
Oh, there are a few rude laughs, aimed
mostly at the very youngest viewers. But
the wit epitomizedby suchcheap, slangy
references as my bad and kickin it, old
school and inexplicable allusions to such
grown-up films as The Silence of the
Lambs and Oceans Twelve falls flat.
Whats more, Bill Hader and Amy Poehler
are wasted as Hansel and Gretel, whose
apparent kidnapping by a witch (Joan
Cusack, also squandered) sets the plot in
motion.
The movie, directed by Mike Disa, pro-
ceeds largely without surprises, save for
one weak twist that feels perfunctory
compared with Hoodwinkeds pretzel-y
narrative switchbacks.
Part of Hoodwinked Too! involves the
search for one secret ingredient to com-
plete the truffle recipe. But, as in baking,
all the best movies have a critical ingredi-
ent, too one thats too often left out in
the fear of messing with a proven money-
maker. That omission can mean the differ-
ence between a souffle and a brick.
Its called originality.

Janeiros congested favelas,
where Torettos crew uses vital
information stored on a stolen
microchip to rob a sadistic drug
kingpin (oily Joaquim de Almei-
da), all while avoiding Hobbs
(Dwayne Johnson), the road-rag-
ing federal bounty hunter or-
dered to bring these fugitives to
justice.
That may sound like too much
plot, but director Justin Lin,
helming his third consecutive
Fast film, has become adept at
steering this continuing story
around major plot holes as we
race toward the next muscular
action sequence. Morgan may
have constructed a durable heist
at the heart of Fast Five, but its
Lins elaborately planned and
eye-popping automobile stunts
which avoid artificial-looking
CGI whenever possible that
butter this movies bread.
Characters dangle from the
hoods of trucks as they are driven
intorapidly movingtrains. Afoot-
race across Brazils rooftops looks
like a large-scale game of Tetris.
And the films final chase scene,
which demolishes most of down-
town Rio as two cars drag a
multiton safe, will make Michael
Bay drool with envy.
Just about every actor previ-
ously involved with a Fast film
returns, so Lin finds a place for
cocky Roman (Tyrese Gibson),
tech-savvy Tej (Chris Ludacris
Bridges) and mainstay Mia (Jor-
dana Brewster), who has provid-
ed eye candy since the first Fast
in 2001.

sider to be The Rock despite his

brash vibe you have to wonder
why it took so long for him to be
included. His relentless agent is
an ideal foil to Diesels arrogant
crook, and when they clash in a
no-holds-barred fistfight, the au-
dience will understand howteen-

saw Bella kiss Edward in Twi-

gy, Rock is chocolate to the Five

Oh, there will be more Fast

ers have suggested in recent in-
terviews that the sixth Fast is
likely to be the last, but I dont

assume the lead role in Fast

With carefully scripted narration by
Samuel L. Jackson, African Cats focuses
on two feline mothers prowling Kenyas
Masai Mara National Reserve: Sita, a
cheetah single mother struggling to
support five newborn cubs in the North

must overcome her injuries to raise her 6-

used to wear. He prefers to live simply. Yet
when it comes to capturing extravagant

One night he fails toprocure the
dust and passes away in his
sleep.
Almost immediately, a goat is
born, on camera.
In this manner, the film pro-
gresses. The goat is eventually
separated from the herd and
takes shelter under a tree. Sea-
sons pass. The tree is cut down.
Ultimately the woodis placedin
a massive kiln, where it be-
comes coal.
The cycle of life.
Except that this assessment
does not begin to take the mea-
sure of Le Quattro Volte,
which embraces nothing and
everything at the same time.
Frammartinos camera shifts its
attention and ours froman
ant crawling on the old mans
craggy face to, at one point, the
very air itself, which the film-
maker finds a way to make as
substantial as a pine.
Along the way, we catch
glimpses of rural life in Ca-
labria, where the film is set.
There is a passion play going on
in the background of several
volte from 33
scenes, with a costumed Jesus
and Roman soldiers. On its way
tothe kiln, the tree is usedas the
centerpiece of Pita, an ancient
festival with pagan roots.
But merely describing what
happens in Le Quattro Volte
feels feeble when compared
with the impact of watching it
unfold. It sounds slow to the
point of monotonous. And
Frammartinos camera some-
times pulls away from exactly
what you might think he should
be pointing it at, as in a master-
fully comic, minutes-long take
involving a dog, a truck with
bad brakes and the aforemen-
tioned goats.
But the film is never boring.
My 11-year-old son watched it,
rapt, as if it were a sneak pre-
view of the new Harry Potter
movie. And Frammartino
knows exactly what he wants to
draw our gaze to, at every sec-
ond. It is, succinctly put, the
whole of creation.

extended conversation between James
(William Shimell), an English author on a
book tour, and an unnamed French woman
(Juliette Binoche) who runs an art and
antiques shop in the Tuscan village where
James is giving a lecture on originality in art.
The films title comes from the English title

THEBANGBANGCLUB
A distant view
of wars images
BY JEN CHANEY
Any photographer who works in a war-
torn region knows that each day could
result inhis or her owndeath. Thats atruth
that turned into tragic reality earlier this
month when photojournalists TimHether-
ington and Chris Hondros were killed, and
two of their colleagues seriously injured,
while covering the ongoing unrest inLibya.
And its a truth that writer-director Steven
Silver attempts to convey in the now
unintentionally timely The Bang Bang
Club, a film based on the real lives of four
investigative photographers who captured
the violence in early 1990s South Africa,
one freeze-framed image of atrocity at a
time.
Unfortunately, Silvers attempt based
on the book The Bang Bang Club: Snap-
shots From a Hidden War, co-written by
two of the photographers depicted on-
screen meets with only tepid success.
While he does a fine job of visually embed-
ding his audience with his point-and-shoot
protagonists, allowing us to see what they
see as they snap pictures mere feet from
where men are being murdered, theres
something undeniably inert about the
whole affair. As close as we are to all the
action, emotionally, we may as well be
viewing everything that happens from a
great distance via the longest possible
telephoto lens.
Perhaps thats because the film does not
persuade us to care as much as we should
about Greg Marinovich, the character who
serves as our primary window into this
world. (In real life, he is also co-author,
with colleague Joao Silva, of that afore-
mentioned book.)
When we first meet Marinovich (played
with reserved commitment by Ryan Phil-
lippe), he is an ambitious photojournalist,
one who isnt afraid to lean in for close-ups
as the blood drains from the body of an
African National Congress supporter just
stabbed by a Zulu enemy. Yet he still
maintains a sensitive side, a need to pause,
catch his breath and contemplate before
coldly capturing the dissidence and death
that surround him. As the movie progress-
es and as Greg takes more photographs
as a stringer for the Johannesburg Star,
turns a dalliance with the Stars photo
editor (Malin Akerman) into a relationship
and eventually wins a Pulitzer Prize his
softness hardens and his determination to
record unspeakable horrors deepens.
Its a decent narrative arc, but one that
looks like a speed bump when compared
with the more dramatic curvature found in
the story of fellow Club member Kevin
Carter. This is the guy The Bang Bang
Club should have been about.
Agifted photographer, a drug user and a
manwitha crippling sense of guilt induced
by his famous Pulitzer Prize-winning im-
age of a vulture stalking a starving Suda-
nese girl, Carters life provides more com-
pelling fodder for exploration than Ma-
rinovichs journey, at least as its depicted
here. It also helps that Carter is portrayed
by the charismatic Taylor Kitsch, a rising
star who has swapped the Texas drawl he
perfected during five seasons on TVs Fri-
day Night Lights for the more proper
cadences of a South African. The accent
may not always be spot-on, but Kitsch does
a fine job of conveying both Carters easy-
going confidence and the unspoken sad-
ness that lurks beneath the surface. Every
time he shows up on-screen which is
frequent enoughtomake it evenmore clear
that he should have been the character in
the foreground of this portrait the film
gets a pulse.
Sure, Silver likely didnt devote more of
the movie to Carter because he based it on
the book, writtenby Marinovichfromhis
ownpoint of view. Also, perhaps he (wisely)
just wanted to make a film about the
broader issues raised by the work of the
Bang Bang Club, a label given to Ma-
rinovich, Carter, Silva and their Star col-
league, Ken Oosterbroek, in a magazine
profile.
Issues like: When does taking such
photographs shift fromgood journalismto
disrespectful invasion of privacy? At what
point does the courage required to enter a
war zone turn into an unhealthy, danger-
ous compulsion? What, as a radio inter-
viewer asks Carter during the film, makes a
great picture?
Maybe what makes a great picture,
Carter tells the reporter, is one that asks a
question.
Indeed, The Bang Bang Club couldnt
be asking such provocative questions at a
more appropriate cultural moment. Its
just unfortunate that it doesnt move us
more effectively while its asking them. On
the emotional spectrum, this one ultimate-
ly falls smack in the mild middle, some-
where between bang-bang and whimper-
whimper.

THEPRINCESS
OFMONTPENSIER
Love without
romance
BY MARK JENKINS
Alternating between the boudoir and
the battlefield, The Princess of Montpen-
sier includes scenes drivenentirely by lust
or fury. But the protagonists of this gor-
geous, very modern 16th-century drama
are often gripped by a more mundane
feeling: confusion.
Take, for example, the title character.
When introduced, beautiful Marie (Mela-
nie Thierry) is not a princess, merely a very
marriageable French heiress. Shes upset
when her calculating father breaks her
engagement in order to secure a marital
connection to the prestigious Montpensier
family. Marie doesnt love her new fiance,
Philippe (Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet), but
then she didnt care much for the old one.
She wanted his dashing, battle-scarred
brother, Henri (Gaspard Ulliel).
That desire isnt entirely in the past
tense. Even after shes wed to Philippe,
Marie pines for Henri. Maries new hus-
band is the jealous type, but at first hes too
busy fighting Protestants to pay much
attention. Eventually, he realizes that his
bride has not one but three ardent admir-
ers. Besides Henri, there are the Duc
dAnjou(Raphael Personnaz), whos next in
line for the throne, and Philippes onetime
tutor, Comte de Chabannes (the great
Lambert Wilson, recently seen in Of Gods
and Men).
Chabannes arrives on screen first, in a
prologue that shows the brutality of the
ongoing war betweenCatholics andProtes-
tants. Battling for the latter, Chabannes
and a few cohorts attack civilians whove
takenrefuge ina stable. Chabannes awakes
fromhis combat deliriumwhen he realizes
he has just killed a pregnant woman, and
he renounces the conflict. A lucky meeting
with Philippe leads to a job teaching Latin
to his old pupils newwife. Soon hes in love
with Marie, although a good deal less
pushy about it than Henri or dAnjou.
The vivid battle scenes are among the
things director and co-writer Bertrand
Tavernier added to Madame de La Fayettes
1662 story. At times, Princess resembles a
widescreenHollywoodwestern, withexhil-
arating Steadicam shots of horsemen gal-
loping across broad plains and corpse-
strewn fields.
The versatile Tavernier, who just turned
70, is not the most confrontational of
contemporary French directors. But hes
never glamorizedwar, andhes not inclined
to let his characters off easy. Thats why he
depicts Chabannes as a man whos horri-
fied not simply by what he has seen, but by
what he has done. History buffs will not be
surprised when Chabannes ultimately
finds himself in the midst of the St. Bartho-
lomews Day Massacre, one of the grisliest
events in French history.
Life as a princess is no fairy tale, either.
Marie is treated as a commodity, and her
carefully supervised wedding night could
hardly be less tender. The Princess of
Montpensier features sumptuous cos-
tumes, grand vistas and swooning emo-
tions, but its much too clear-eyed to be a
romance.

THATSWHATI AM
Torment-lite
at junior high
BY MARK JENKINS
The title of Thats What I Am, like
everything else about this bland middle-
school parable, is meant to be uplifting:
The movie instructs kids to identify them-
selves by their talents and interests, not as
stereotypes. But most of the characters
have no such choice. They beginas walking
cliches the nerd, the bully, the hot girl
and end unchanged.
The movie is set in 1965, and narrated by
the adult incarnation of 13-year-old Andy
(Chase Ellison). But the real hero is Mr.
Simon (Ed Harris), everyones favorite
teacher. While his subject is English, he
never mentions spelling or grammar. In-
stead, he teaches such concepts as toler-
ance, dignity and compassion, helpfully
writing his formula for world peace on the
blackboard.
Andy is a regular kid who carefully
avoids the taboo schoolyard turf known as
geek corner. Then Mr. Simon pairs him
for a writing project with Big G (Alexan-
der Walters), a classmate whos reviled for
being tall and red-haired, with unusually
large ears.
It seems a tough break, since Andy is
rarely botheredby bullies andhas just been
picked to go steady by the schools love
goddess, Mary (Mia Rose Frampton,
daughter of Peter Baby, I Love Your Way
Frampton). But Andy gradually warms to
Big G, whose temperament turns out to be
saintly.
Meanwhile, Mr. Simons gentleness, and
distaste for bullies, has given rise to gossip
that hes a homo. The father of one
rumor-monger visits the schools principal
(Amy Madigan, Harriss wife) to demand
that Mr. Simon either deny hes gay or be
fired. (The belligerent dad is played by pro
wrestler Randy Orton, a reminder that the
movie was produced by World Wrestling
Entertainment.)
Mr. Simon reads a book about Joan of
Arc to Andys class, but the teacher never
faces the metaphorical equivalent of being
burned at the stake. Writer-director Mi-
chael Pavone sidesteps most of the con-
flicts he introduces, and the storys climax,
a showdown at the school talent show, is
rather mild.
The film opens with a montage of 1960s
images and employs songs that are roughly
appropriate to the period: Marys theme
song is the Associations Along Comes
Mary, while the movies is Graham Nashs
Teach Your Children. Yet Pavone dodges
issues that were inescapable in the era,
notably racism. One of Andys pals is
AfricanAmerican, but thats never anissue,
even for Andys blustering, uptight father.
Harriss performance elevates Thats
What I Am above its cartoonish script and
rudimentary direction, and the other ac-
tors (even Orton) are credible. But the
movies claims to be inspired by true
events doesnt prevent a lingering sense
that Pavone only vaguely remembers the
torments of junior high.

THEHUMANRESOURCES
MANAGER
On the road,
with a corpse
BY RACHEL SASLOW
Is springtime in Washington too joyful
for you? Are the azaleas and sunny after-
noons making you too happy? There is a
cure. Its The HumanResources Manager,
a depressing and slow Israeli film guaran-
teed to bring even the happiest Washingto-
nians down.
The title character (Mark Ivanir) is an
unnamed human resources manager at a
Jerusalem bread factory in 2002. An em-
ployee named Yulia, a foreign worker who
swept the floors, is killed in a suicide
bombing. Apublic relations disaster for the
bakery erupts when Yulias body is left
unidentified in the morgue for a week
because nobody at the company realized
she had been missing and her family is
abroad. (It turns out that she was fired
weeks before her death.) To repair the
companys reputation, the manager is
tasked with accompanying Yulias body
back to her family in Romania, even
though he never knew her.
From there, The Human Resources
Manager becomes a road trip movie. The
participants include the manager, a pesky
reporter who provides the only almost-
comedy of the whole film (not enough for
an audible chuckle, though) and Yulias
son, a morose 14-year-old who fights,
swears, lives on the street and is accurately
referred to as an animal.
They set off with the corpse through
frozen, rural Romania, heading for Yulias
mothers village. To make the setting even
bleaker, the group overnights in a concrete
bunker with flickering lights. They sleep
five floors below the ground and eat beige-
coloredsoupfor dinner. Then, the manager
gets the flu and doesnt leave his metal
bunkbedfor twodays. If this is supposedto
be a black comedy, the darkness is so
complete that no joke can shine through.
If director Eran Rikliss intention is to
show the blossoming humanity, so to
speak, of a human resources manager, the
transformation is much too subtle to work.
Despite previous wins with Lemon Tree
and The Syrian Bride, Riklis misses here.
His manager shows compassion at the
beginning of the film when he offers to
chaperone his daughters field trip in order
to lift her spirits, so its no surprise whenhe
bonds with Yulias son or cries with her
grieving mother.
The main character is stagnant, and the
plot revolves around delivering a corpse
and peaks with a funeral. The most inter-
esting thing about The Human Resources
Manager is howlowit can go.

two strangers are playing an old married

ruse in a game of escalating emotional
brinksmanship. Filmmaker Abbas

hard to see the line between the bruising,

rrTHE CONSPIRATOR
In The Conspirator, Robert Redfords
absorbing if puzzling Civil War-era drama,
Robin Wright announces in no uncertain
terms that she is back. Wright plays Mary
Surratt, who in 1865 was accused of
conspiring with John Wilkes Booth and
others to assassinate Abraham Lincoln and
mount a coup against members of his
Cabinet, including Vice President Andrew
Johnson. When she was hanged a few
months later, Surratt went down in history
as the first woman to be executed by the
U.S. government made all the more
notable by doubts as to her guilt in ensuing
years. The historical consensus has since
concluded that Surratt, who ran the
boarding house where many of the
conspirators met and whose son John was a
Confederate spy and crony of Booths, was
indeed guilty. But for there to be a movie
Redford must play up the ambiguity in
The Conspirator, he portrays Surratt as a
pious Catholic, devoted mother and, finally,
martyr to overreaching military powers
eager to trample on constitutional rights
and due process in order to exact revenge in
movies from 36

ANDOLDER
HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD VS. EVIL
(PG). While its okay for kids 8 and
older, this animated sequel in uneven
3-D lacks the charm of the original,
which spoofed Little Red Riding
Hood in a glib style that was funny
and clever. This time, its the Hansel
and Gretel story. Red is studying
martial arts and high-end cooking
when the frog Nicky Flippers, who
runs the secret Happily Ever After
agency, gets word to her that a witch
has kidnapped Hansel and Gretel,
and plans to cook them. Too much
plot, not enough fun.
THE BOTTOMLINE: The many action
sequences, most of them more comic
than harrowing, do seem more
intense in 3-D. Big green ogre-like
creatures wear sumo wrestler-style
thongs. A weird reference to The
Silence of the Lambs seems like a
creepy addition, though only adults
will get it. And of course, there is
toilet humor.
RIO (G). Kids 6 and older will have a
lively, educational time at Rio, a 3-D
animated delight about a macaw
named Blu. Blu is captured as a
fledgling and rescued by Linda. One
day, Tulio persuades Linda to bring
Blu to Rio to mate with a female
macaw in order to save the species.
Blu is terrorized by the feisty female,
Jewel, and then theyre both bird-
napped. Jewel and Blu must
cooperate in order to escape.
THE BOTTOMLINE: The scenes in
which Blu and Jewel must escape
capture by the evil cockatoo, Nigel, or
the human bad guys can be intense.
We see a roomful of caged birds
portrayed as an insane asylum. The
film does a beautiful job of hinting at
poverty in Rio.
10
ANDOLDER
AFRICAN CATS (G). The animal
violence in this Disney nature
documentary is far more intense than
a G rating implies, but the violence is
not graphic. African Cats follows
Layla, whos raising her cub, Mara.
Their pride is ruled by Fang. Kali waits
for his moment to kill Fang and take
over. The story cuts between the lions
and a gorgeous female cheetah with
adorable cubs. As a single mom,
she and her little family are
constantly threatened.
THE BOTTOMLINE: The intensity of
the hunting sequences and the
power plays among the cats seem to
warrant at least a PG. Children
younger than 10 may not be ready for
this. One lion goes off to die, though
the narration says she wants to be
alone and gives up the fight.
PG-
13
FAST FIVE. This action flick is more
suited to high-schoolers, as it depicts
extremely violent fights and vehicular
chases and barely avoids an R rating.
Dominic Toretto is sentenced to
prison as the film opens, but ex
lawman Brian OConner and Mia
stage a daring crash and free him.
Now resigned to living as outlaws,
they meet in Brazil and stage a car
heist on a train. Theres a drug
connection they didnt know about,
which brings in the relentless Hobbs,
an American agent. Still, Dom, Brian
and Mia forge ahead with a plan to
rob a drug lord in Rio.
THE BOTTOMLINE: The dialogue is
surprisingly non-profane. There is,
however, some profanity, including
rare use of the F-word. The sexual
slang and innuendo gets pretty
crude, but not obscene. Women at a
drag racing site in Rio dress in
extremely scanty clothes. A mafioso
makes an implied threat against an
an infant.
TYLER PERRYS MADEAS BIG
HAPPY FAMILY. Perry continues his
exploration of middle-class African
American life, revisiting many of the
same characters. Madeas Big
Happy Family is iffy for middle-
schoolers because of its many adult
themes, among them incest, teen
pregnancy and drug-dealing. This
installment is a shapeless and
rambling saga that will be a bit of a
yawn for many high-schoolers. Perry
makes occasional drag appearances
as Madea, who helps her niece
Shirley gather her family together so
she can tell them shes dying.
THE BOTTOMLINE: Madea and her
pals use lots of crude language. We
hear the story of a girl who was raped
by a family member. A comic subplot
involves the paternity of Madeas
daughter. Parents may have issues
with Madeas approach to discipline.
POMWONDERFUL PRESENTS: THE
GREATEST MOVIE EVER
SOLD. Morgan Spurlocks style may
well appeal to high-schoolers
interested in how business is done.
He ate nothing but McDonalds for a
month to make a point in Supersize
Me. Now hes delving into product
placement in films and television and
how its so pervasive we hardly notice
it any more.
THE BOTTOMLINE: Spurlock uses
photos at one pitch meeting that
imply nudity, but are blurred. Some
conversations feature occasional
profanity and crude language.
WATER FOR ELEPHANTS. Despite
its built-in cliches, Water for
Elephants offers teens gobs of
emotional intensity and old-timey
atmosphere. However, the villain
mistreats circus animals. Jacob is
about to graduate from veterinary
school when his parents are killed in
an accident. He jumps aboard the
circus train and falls for the beautiful
Marlena, wife of the tyrannical owner,
August. Eventually the attraction
between Jacob and Marlena catches
Augusts attention and everything
explodes.
THE BOTTOMLINE: An elephant is
hit with a sharp hook although
sounds of it roaring in pain are partly
off-camera. A sick horse is put out of
its misery with a quick gunshot, just
off-camera. There are rough fights.
Workers are tossed off a moving
train, and we see the bodies. There is
a non-explicit sexual situation. A
stripper act implies toplessness.
Horwitz is a freelance reviewer.

rrHANNA
The mesmerizing heroine of Hanna a
semi-feral 16-year-old raised by her stay-at-
home dad in the permafrost forests of
Finland can rattle off facts and figures
about anatomy and geography in seven
languages, but shes also a ruthless killing
machine. Hanna has activated some kind of
electronic homing beacon that tells the
movies bad girl, Marissa Wiegler (a
gloriously over-the-top Cate Blanchett), just
where to find them. In short order, Hanna
turns into a classic popcorn movie,
subclassification: chase flick. Eat with one
hand, because youll need the other to hang
on to your seat, as the film lunges from
Finland to Morocco to Spain to Germany,
where Erik and his daughter have agreed to
rendezvous. Who exactly is Hanna? And why
does Marissa want her so badly? Those are
just a couple of the films many mysteries,
which writers Seth Lochhead and David Farr
unravel at just the right pace. One mystery
the film doesnt handle so well: Why should
we care? (PG-13, 111 minutes) Contains
violence and brief obscenity. In English
and several other languages, with
occasional subtitles. Area theaters.
M.O.
rrHOP
Hop, a piece of fluff as artificially
sweetened as a fuchsia Peep, offers a
glimmer of amusement, but only to kids still
young enough to believe in the Easter
Bunny. Director Tim Hills holiday tale opens
on Easter Island, where the Easter Bunny
(voiced by Hugh Laurie) oversees a Willy
Wonka-esque factory of chicks and bunnies
creating the candy-filled baskets that he
delivers to children around the world. Mr.
Bunny plans to retire and pass the reins of
his chick-driven fleet to his adolescent son
E.B. (Russell Brand), but the teen rabbit
wants to be a drummer. He takes a one-way
rabbit-hole trip to Hollywood, where E.B. first
seeks refuge with the bunnies at the
Playboy Mansion. This being a PG movie, he
gets only to the front gates before eventually
winding up on the windshield of another
parental disappointment, Fred OHare
(James Marsden). E.B. guilts Fred into
providing a place to stay and helping him
with his rock-star dreams. (PG, 95 minutes)
Contains mild rude humor. Area theaters.
S.A.C.
rrrIN A BETTER WORLD
From brutish schoolyard justice to tribal
savagery, ritualized male aggression earns
agonizingly somber scrutiny in Susanne
Biers In a Better World, which won the
Oscar this year for Best Foreign Language
Film. The film opens with a group of happy,
shouting African children running behind a
pickup. Sitting in the vehicles cramped bed
is Anton (Mikael Persbrandt), a physician
with Doctors Without Borders who performs
emergency surgeries in a windy, dusty tent
set up in the middle of nowhere. When a
young woman arrives after having the baby
she was carrying ripped out of her womb,
Anton learns that such attacks are the
movies from 39
trademark of a local warlord. Antons world
back in Denmark bears all the hallmarks of
being more civilized, but forboding tensions
roil the surface of his quiet, seaside life. His
marriage with Marianne (Trine Dyrholm) has
suffered a rupture, and his 10-year-old son,
Elias (Markus Rygaard), is being bullied at
school. When a new student named
Christian (William Johnk Juels Nielsen)
arrives on the scene, Elias experiences
fleeting notions of hope that his status
might change. (R, 119 minutes) Contains
violent and disturbing content, some
involving preteens, and for profanity. In
English, Danish and Swedish with English
subtitles. At West End Cinema.
A.H.
rINSIDIOUS
Insidious, the latest fright-fest from the
producer of Paranormal Activity and the
writer-director team from Saw, cant be
criticized for false advertising. The old house
in which the film opens is no Amityville
Horror, but the place is plenty spooked.
When Josh and Renai Lambert (Patrick
Wilson and Rose Byrne), the young couple
who have just moved in with their three kids,
have enough of that nonsense, they quickly
call a real estate agent. Unfortunately, the
next home they move into is just as bad. If
youve seen the trailer, you know the reason.
It isnt the houses that are haunted, but the
Lamberts son Dalton (Ty Simpkins). After
taking a mild bump on the head, Dalton falls
into what appears to be a medically
unexplained coma, while all around him the
spirit world is going crazy. Up until this point,
the film is a deliciously creepy mystery, with
an admirable sense of restraint and steadily
building tension, a la Paranormal Activity.
Soon, however, the Saw sensibility kicks
in, leaving little to the imagination. (PG-13,
102 minutes) Contains brief obscenity,
scary entities fromthe spirit realmand a
child in jeopardy. Area theaters.
M.O.
rrLIMITLESS
A man gets hooked on a new designer drug
that allows him, by popping a little clear
tablet once a day, to access 100 percent of
his brain, instead of the tiny fraction thats
popularly believed that we use. Almost
overnight, Eddie (Bradley Cooper) goes from
being a scruffy, mumbling novelist with
writers block and a girlfriend (Abbie
Cornish) who has just dumped him to a
multilingual motormouth with a successful
stock portfolio, a photographic memory, the
analytic powers of Watson the
supercomputer, the martial-arts moves of
Jason Bourne and the pick of every beautiful
woman in New York. Soon Eddie is on the
run from several disreputable types who
have also gotten a jones for mothers little
helper, called NZT. Eddie doesnt want to
share his stash. But he also doesnt want to
die. In director Neil Burgers adrenalized,
sharply edited and surprisingly engaging
thriller, Eddies choice seems to be between
getting knifed by another addled NZT addict
or killed by the drug itself. (PG-13, 106
minutes) Contains violence, drug abuse,
sexuality and some crude language. Area
theaters.
M.O.
rrrTHE LINCOLN LAWYER
Matthew McConaughey slides into his role
with the insinuating ease of a bottleneck
over a National guitar in The Lincoln
Lawyer, a pleasantly seedy crime thriller
set in the most featureless nether regions of
Los Angeles. McConaughey plays criminal
defense attorney Mickey Haller, a notorious
bottom-feeder whose office is the back of a
Lincoln Town Car. Mickey is a scammer and
a scoundrel. As Haller, McConaughey makes
the most of his Texas drawl, slicked-back
hair and ingratiating affability. As The
Lincoln Lawyer opens, Haller agrees to
represent rich kid Louis Roulet (Ryan
Phillippe), who so earnestly insists that he
didnt commit the savage beating of a girl
that Haller almost believes him. With the
help of investigator Frank Levin, Haller
begins to build his defense, along the way
discovering that the case is far more
complicated than he first thought. (R, 119
minutes) Contains some violence, sexual
content and profanity. Area theaters.
A.H.
rrrMAKING THE BOYS
In 1968, The Boys in the Band was a
theatrical sensation. By 1969, the
groundbreaking look at gay life was
considered hopelessly dated. Mart
Crowleys play about a birthday party whose
banter turns increasingly catty may now
seem antiquated, but director Crayton
Robey shows how timely it once was. The
event that overtook Boys in the Band was
the Stonewall uprising, which occurred 14
months after the play premiered. That
spontaneous challenge to a police raid on a
Greenwich Village gay bar was followed by
New Yorks first gay pride parade. Suddenly,
gays were out well, some of them and
Crowleys closeted characters were
dismissed as self-hating and stereotypical.
Making the Boys offers remarks by just
about every prominent American gay writer

or talker, from playwright Tony Kushner to

AIDS. At West End Cinema.

rrrrNOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT
With Nostalgia for the Light, Chilean
director Patricio Guzman evinces his
passion for exploring his countrys most
grievous political past, but broadens his
scope to take in larger existential questions.
The result is a film that rates as the
filmmakers masterpiece. The starting point
for Guzmans inquiry is Chiles Atacama
Desert, the driest place on Earth and, as
such, the place where the night sky can be
found at its most translucent. Because of
this natural accident, scientists have set up
massive arrays of telescopes in the
Atacama, the better to plumb the outer
mysteries of space. The deserts dry heat
has also preserved pre-Columbian remains
underground, where archaeologists dig for
pristine bones of our forebears. Meanwhile,
the Atacama has also served as a prime
locale for 19th-century silver and saltpeter
mines, where indigenous workers were
brutally oppressed and where, decades
later, the Pinochet junta unceremoniously
dumped the remains of dissidents executed
during its savage campaign against
communism. All of those strains come into
play in Nostalgia for the Light. (Unrated,
90 minutes) Contains mature thematic
material. In English and Spanish with
subtitles. At Landmarks E Street Cinema.
A.H.
rrrrOF GODS AND MEN
Of Gods and Men begins in silence, which
is appropriate for a film that so poetically
evokes and honors the contemplative
spiritual life. In a quiet patch of North Africa,
a community of Roman Catholic monks
pursues the ancient existence inspired by
Saint Benedict, laboring in their garden and
among their beehives, praying and chanting
the Psalms, studying and living in peaceful
coexistence with the Muslim villagers
nearby. The relationship thrives on mutual
trust and support. But outside this Edenic
existence the world is changing, as religious
extremists seek to challenge Algerias
corrupt government and begin to terrorize
their fellow Muslims (starting with girls who
arent wearing hijabs). A local official pleads
with the brothers to leave for their own
safety, but the community is riven by dissent
and self-doubt. What do they owe their
neighbors, what do they owe God and are
they the same thing? (PG-13, 120 minutes)
Contains a momentary scene of startling
wartime violence, some disturbing images
and brief profanity. In French with
English subtitles. Area theaters.
A.H.
rrrPOMWONDERFUL PRESENTS:
THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER SOLD
The advertising-themed documentary Pom
Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie
Ever Sold is food for thought thats fun to
eat. If that last sentence sounds like an ad
slogan, its not surprising. Its hard to come
out of The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
without a heightened sensitivity to the art of
hyping, flacking and product placement.
Like Super Size Me, The Greatest Movie
Ever Sold starts with a deceptively simple,
but artful shtick. Morgan Spurlock resolved
to make a movie about advertising that was
entirely financed by advertising. He
approached some 600 companies, 20 of
which agreed to cover the film budget, in
return for promotional consideration. Pom
Wonderful pomegranate juice, for instance,
promised $1 million, which entitled it to
naming rights. Spurlock succeeds at a risky
game in which he offers up a critique of
commercial co-opting by allowing himself to
be commercially co-opted. (PG-13, 88
minutes) Contains some obscenity and
brief flashes of nudity. Area theaters.
M.O.
rrPOTICHE
A potiche is a porcelain vase, but in
French slang means something like trophy
wife. Catherine Deneuves Suzanne lives a
life of enchanted, if slightly tiresome,
decorativeness. She writes poetry, jogs in
the countryside and indulges her two grown
children, clueless Laurent (Jeremie Renier)
and calculating Joelle (Judith Godreche).
Imperious husband Robert (Fabrice Luchini)
is too busy at the factory whose
ownership he acquired by marrying
Suzanne to pay much attention to her.
Although Potiche is hardly a political tract,
Ozon mingles cinematic in-jokes with period
ideological issues. The family business
movies from 41
makes umbrellas. Its the 70s, and the
workers are restless. They go on strike and
take Robert as a hostage. After Robert is
freed, a long rest is prescribed. Suzanne
assumes control of the factory, and the
business thrives. Everyone prefers
Suzannes nurturing management style.
Then Robert returns, and insists on
resuming his old role. One thing is certain:
Suzanne is not going to return to doing
nothing. (R, 103 minutes) Contains
sexuality. Area theaters.
M.J.
rrrRIO
The music, color and sheer 3-D joie de vivre
of Rio couldnt be more welcome this
spring. At the center of Rios swirling
action perches Blu, a rare blue macaw who
is a cozily pampered pet in Moose Lake,
Minn. Voiced by the congenitally reticent
Jesse Eisenberg, Blu is perfectly happy to
play, snuggle and sip cocoa with his owner,
Linda (Leslie Mann). But when a scientist
arrives announcing that only one other
macaw exists a female residing in Rio de
Janeiro Blu must confront leaving his
comfort zone in order to save the species.
Soon after arriving in Rio, however, Blu
comes to feel he never should have left
Moose Lake. His arranged girlfriend, Jewel
(Anne Hathaway), turns out to be an
intimidating, sky-wise free spirit whos
determined to leave as soon as possible.
When Blu and Jewel are bird-napped by a
gang of smugglers, they become unlikely
allies in Jewels mission to be free and Blus
mission to get back to Linda and Moose
Lake. (G, 96 minutes) Contains nothing
objectionable. Area theaters.
A.H.
rSCREAM4
Scream 4 has issues. On the one hand, it
is obsessed with itself. On the other, it
suffers from a case of crushingly low self-
esteem. Set 10 years after Scream 3, the
movie centers on the return of Sidney
Prescott (Neve Campbell) to her hometown
of Woodsboro, notable for being the site of a
series of grisly murders by a psychopath,
dubbed Ghostface, in a black robe and
Halloween mask. Film after film, although
its always Sidney who is the source of
Ghostfaces homicidal rage, most of the
victims are collateral damage: lusty
teenagers, lazy cops and others who
happen to get in the way. Along with
Campbell, Courteney Cox and David
Arquette return as nosy newswoman-turned-
writer Gayle Weathers and bumbling sheriff
Dewey Riley, who are now married to each
other. (R, 112 minutes) Contains
obscenity, violence, gore and underage
drinking. Area theaters.
M.O.
rSOUL SURFER
Based on the memoir of Bethany Hamilton
a surfer who, at 13, lost her arm in a 2003
shark attack and then went on to become a
top-rated pro Soul Surfer contains
enough platitudes to stock a Hallmark shop.
Like little waves, they break, one after the
other, in a screenplay credited to director
Sean McNamara and three other writers
(six, if you count the screen story credits).
But the whopper comes when Bethany,
played by an appealing and fresh-faced
AnnaSophia Robb, visits Phuket, Thailand,
to help with relief efforts in the aftermath of
the 2004 earthquake and catastrophic
wave there. Soul Surfer is to be
commended for presenting a positive role
model in an adolescent girl who is strong
and athletic, not just a pretty face. Thats all
too rare these days. So is the movies
unapologetic emphasis on faith. But it wont
leave well enough alone, insisting on tying
up lifes messy questions in a tidy little
package. (PG, 105 minutes) Contains a
brief but intense shark attack and some
blood. Area theaters.
M.O.
rrrSOURCE CODE
Jake Gyllenhaals Colter Stevens, a
decorated U.S. soldier recently deployed in
Afghanistan, doesnt play much solitaire in
Source Code. The movie opens with
Stevens jolting awake on a Chicago
commuter train, while seat mate (Michelle
Monaghan) chatters away about quitting her
job. A few minutes later, a bomb goes off
and hes sucked into another reality, a
cramped metallic capsule smelling strongly
of hydraulic fluid. Whats going on? And
whos that uniformed lady talking in
Stevenss ear? That would be a shadowy
handler named Goodwin (Vera Farmiga),
who with her boss (Jeffrey Wright) operates
an experimental time-travel operation for
the U.S. military. As Source Code unfolds
in a series of cleverly assembled accordion
pleats, Stevens discovers hes on a mission
with supernatural overtones but very real
consequences. (PG-13, 93 minutes)
Contains some violence, including some
disturbing images, and profanity. Area
theaters.

(NR) TYLER PERRYS MADEAS
BIG HAPPY FAMILY
Madeas Big Happy Family is stuffed to the
gills with Perrys mix of the sacred and the
silly and a serious dose of self-help. He and
his ensemble are funnier than theyve been
in ages. Madeas niece Shirley (Loretta
Devine) is sick with the cancer. She
resolves to round up her family to give them
all the news over a big family dinner. The
joint-smoking/chain-smoking Aunt Bam
(Cassi Davis, a hoot) has been her only help.
But Shirleys kids are a problem. They wont
sit down together. Its up to Madea to climb
into her ancient Cadillac, risking carbon
peroxide poisoning, to round the offspring
up so that their momma can say goodbye.
(PG-13, 106 minutes) Contains drug
content, language and some mature
thematic material. Area theaters.
Orlando Sentinel
rrWATER FOR ELEPHANTS
Like the circus that provides the setting for
Sara Gruens best-selling novel Water for
Elephants, the movie based on that 2006
book is big, slick and showy. It is also
undeniably effective entertainment. The
standout among its star attractions is the
Austrian-born Christoph Waltz as the
mercurial-to-the-point-of-psychopathic
August Rosenbluth. It is August who hires
the films narrator, Jacob Jankowski (Robert
Pattinson), a student of veterinary medicine
forced to drop out of Cornell and join the
circus just shy of final exams when his
parents are killed. And it is August who is
married to the ravishing circus performer
Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), who catches
Jacobs eye. Needless to say, with August
around, thats not a good thing. But their
attraction is also the most predictable thing
about Water, which, like a well-rehearsed
circus animal, occasionally has the feeling
that its merely going through the motions.
You know where the thing is headed. Still,
its fun to watch. (PG-13, 120 minutes)
Contains some obscenity, brief sensuality,
violence and scenes of cruelty toward
animals. Area theaters.
M.O.
rrrrWIN WIN
Paul Giamatti stars in a wrestling picture
that reinvigorates the genre with verve,
warmth and heart. His character, a lawyer
named Mike Flaherty, coaches his suburban
New Jersey high school team, whose losing
streak pretty much parallels Mikes life. At
the helm of an unspectacular elder-law
practice, Mike keeps his financial worries a
secret from his wife, Jackie (Amy Ryan), and
their two young daughters, but the burdens
are getting to him. During a court
proceeding one day, he makes a sharp
ethical turn with a senile client (Burt Young)
that will lead him down a road fraught with
peril and unexpected riches. One of those
surprises comes in the form of his clients
grandson, a diffident teenager named Kyle,
who arrives out of the blue and jonis Mikes
private universe of misfit friends. The two
bond in surprising and utterly cheering ways
that allow Win Win to live up to its title
both literally and emotionally. (R, 106
minutes) Contains profanity. Area
theaters.
A.H.
rrrWINTER IN WARTIME
Set in Nazi-occupied Holland in 1945, the
film concerns the efforts of 13-year-old
Michiel (Martijn Lakemeier) to smuggle
Jack, a wounded British airman (Jamie
Campbell Bower), to safety after Jacks
plane is shot down near Michiels
hometown, which is now crawling with
Germans. Its a gripping, edge-of-your-seat
thriller, involving romance and enough
suspense, secrets and betrayal for two war
films. Despite all thats going on, the story,
directed by Martin Koolhoven, is impeccably
paced and lean, with a visually gorgeous, icy
blue pallor that underscores the cold, hard
choices that its characters must make. But
what makes Winter special is its complex
exploration of the theme of heroism. Michiel
will soon learn, all too harshly, that the
definition of honor sometimes involves a
quieter form of heroism. (R, 103 minutes)
Contains violence, obscenity and a brief
sexual encounter. In Dutch, German and
English with subtitles. Area theaters.

OnStage
BY SARAH HALZACK
Trisha Brown has been making dances
for more than50years, andshes still taking
an untraditional route.
Inthe late 1960s and70s, the choreogra-
pher was part of an innovative, informal
group known as Judson Dance Theater,
whichthumbedits nose at highly technical,
codified steps and performed in such non-
traditional venues as parks and rooftops.
The artistic experimentation helped usher
in an era of contemporary dance.
Brown, 74, has never abandoned that
curious creative spirit, which will be onfull
display Saturday when her company per-
forms at George Mason University.
The centerpiece of the program,
LAmour au Theatre, is one such example
of Browns approach to choreography. The
piece began as a sweeping, full-length
production based on the Greek myth of
Pygmalion, complete with opera singers.
But Brown shifted gears, and the final
product is a lean, abstract work.
The companys rehearsal director, Diane
Madden, describes LAmour, a relatively
new addition to the companys rich reper-
tory, as a dance full of contrasts.
In the more rigorous partnering sec-
tions, its definitely virtuosic. Theres lifts
and flying through the air, Madden says.
Its very active, using full weight to propel
each other through space. Other sections,
she says, are filled with more delicate,
gestural movement.
Also on the program is one of Browns
early, groundbreaking works: Watermo-
tor, a 1978 solo that she originally choreo-
graphed for herself and has not been per-
formed by anyone else until now. At only
2
1
/2 minutes long, its so dense, its kind of
like a rocket of a dance, Madden says.
The idea to resurrect this frenzy of
skittering steps and fast direction changes
didnt come fromBrown or Madden. It was
suggested by dancer Neal Beasley, who saw
a film of the original version and asked to
take on the challenge of learning it.
Madden says that kind of artistic input
from the dancers is common in Browns
troupe. When it comes to figuring out what
repertory works to revive, she says, the
interest is coming from the dancers. They
have such a great appetite.
Rounding out the program are Opal
Loop, a quartet danced without musical
accompaniment, and Foray Foret, a 1990
piece notable for its careful spatial compo-
sition. Its got such an incredible delicacy
to it and playfulness, Madden says. Its
very, very full of surprises.
From a master of the unconventional
such as Brown, the audience should expect
nothing less.

NEWLYREVIEWED
gBLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY
At the Atlas Performing Arts Center
through May 8
Theres a lovely moment in this even-keeled
production by African Continuum Theatre
Company when Angel, a nightclub singer in
1930 Harlem, has just finished flirting with
Leland, an Alabama native visiting New
York. When the conversation ends, Leland
walks off down the street, while Angel stays
inside, pacing. For just a fraction of a
second, the actors playing the two
characters pause, creating a tableau in
which Angel and Leland seem to be both
separated and tantalizingly close. The
tableau dissolves, but not before this frozen
instant has spoken volumes about how
barriers of all sorts can separate people
who are falling for each other. Such artful
touches, devised by director Walter Dallas,
add resonance to this lively, heartfelt
version of Pearl Cleages 1995 play, a
portrait of clashing worldviews and value
systems that parallel the Harlem
Renaissances encounter with the Great
Depression. This is the home of Guy (Joshua
D. Robinson), an exuberant homosexual
costume designer who is working on outfits
for Josephine (Baker) when hes not hanging
out with Langston (Hughes). When Angel
(Maryam Fatima Foye) is fired from her gig at
the Cotton Club, she moves in with Guy, an
old friend. But money troubles loom, and
the situation grows yet more complicated
when Leland (Gary-Kayi Fletcher) enters the
picture. Meanwhile, another friend, an
idealistic social worker named Delia (Sasha
Lightbourne), is working to establish a birth-
control clinic in Harlem. It is the two female
characters who most keenly experience the
dichotomies Cleage has set at the heart of
her tale: the contrast between traditional
and evolving mores and between idealism
and bleak economic reality.

THE DAY JOHN HENRY CAME TO SCHOOL
At Imagination Stage through May 29
Using only a hammer and his own
prodigious strength, legend holds, the steel
driver John Henry tunneled through a
mountain faster than a steam-powered drill.
Turns out that feat was small potatoes
compared with the task of making his great-
great-great-grandson, Johnny, care about
anything but computer games. Or so holds
Eric Pfeffingers adventurous, if slightly
under-polished, new childrens comedy,
which argues for the superiority of the real
world over the virtual realm, and for the
preeminence of human effort over that
bells-and-whistles technology stuff. Janet
Stanford directs John Henry, which kicks
off with the image of smartphone and hand-
held-computer lights flickering over human
faces on a darkened stage. This tableau
captures the cyber-obsessions of young
Johnny Henry (Nickolas Vaughan, acting
suitably introverted), who is thrilled to bits
make that bytes when he learns that his
school is replacing his teacher with a
mainframe. Automated instruction will be
more efficient, explains education bigwig
Mr. Huntington. The first half of Pfeffingers
script feels a little slack and uninspired,
taking a relatively long time to establish
Johnnys computer addiction, not to
mention the American Idol-style singing
aspirations of Johnnys classmate Jeanie.
But the wit picks up once Mr. Huntington
has started to demonstrate his
computerized teaching scheme, which
includes click-and-drag art lessons with
digitized bits of Picasso paintings. For
reasons that arent entirely clear, Johnnys
classroom gets a surprise visit from his
ancestor John Henry (Dereks Thomas). The
folk hero galvanizes the kids with his
thrilling railroad-labor saga, with the result
that Mr. Huntingtons Brave New World-
style curriculum upgrade blows a circuit.

gGEORGE &MARTHA: TONS OF FUN
At Imagination Stage through May 28
Imagination Stage is presenting John
Henry in repertory with another world
premiere that, implicitly, celebrates human
energy and bonds: the adorable musical
George & Martha: Tons of Fun,
recommended for age 3 and older.
Composer, lyricist and book writer Joan
Cushing has drawn on James Marshalls
books about companionable hippos to
create a show that brims with sprightliness,
gentle humor and touching reflections on
friendship. Director Kathryn Chase Bryer
brings buoyant rhythms to the production,
which stars the pitch-perfect duo of Michael
John Casey and Sandra L. Murphy as
George and Martha, best buddies whose
relationship occasionally hits a rough patch
over a misunderstanding such as
Marthas penchant for serving George pea
soup, which he secretly cant stand.
Choreographer Scott Rink adds ebullience
with his vaudeville-style movement for
supporting characters Pig, Dog and Croc,
and designer Debra Kim Sivigny cleverly
balances human and critter characteristics
in the costumes. (George and Martha wear
human attire with ears, and Pig looks
cherubic in a bubble-gum-pink dress.) And,
like the best childrens theater, George &
Martha tosses in allusions that adult
ticketholders will relish. At home alone,
Martha reads Whos Afraid of Virginia
Woolf? while George likes to paint a
hobby he celebrates in a song that
references Van Gogh.

gTHE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND
At MetroStage through May 29
Surely no job on earth is as arduous, lonely
and downright spiritually draining as that of
theater critic. Or so you might think,
watching actor Ralph Coshams
consummate portrait of Moon, a play-
reviewer character in the enjoyable version
of The Real Inspector Hound. Director
John Vreekes adroitly paced staging deftly
brandishes the wit of this 1968 Tom
Stoppard one-act, a brilliant parody of
country-house detective stories and the
conflict-fraught, egoism-inflating business of
theater criticism. Vreekes production
features a number of zesty performances,
and most of the cast appears to be having a
blast but its Coshams brooding Moon
who seems to live most fully in Stoppards
delectably language-drunk, hall-of-mirrors
world. A critic whos more than a little
obsessed with his own second-string status,
Moon sits next to a fellow reviewer, the
philandering Birdboot (Michael Tolaydo), at
a whodunit. After delivering some
egregiously overinflated pronouncements
on this piece of tripe, the critics find
themselves tugged into the world of the fog-
shrouded Muldoon Manor, where a
madman is reportedly on the loose. The
Real Inspector Hound notably reunites
director Vreeke with Cosham, John Dow and
Tolaydo, who appeared in Vreekes splendid
MetroStage production of Heroes in 2009.
Entertaining as it is, the current offering
doesnt have the buoyancy and brio of that
earlier staging. Fortunately, there is such a
thing as professionalism, a force that seems
to have produced Coshams woebegone but
dutiful Moon. When Sisyphus wearies of
rolling his boulder up a Hadean hill, this
Moon will sigh, uncap his pen and take
notes on yet another play.

CONTINUING
gART
At Signature Theatre through May 22
In this crisp, chic revival of the reliable 1994
French comedy Art, ye shall know the
three friends who come unglued over a
white-on-white painting by the way they
wear their shirts. Serge, the forward-thinking
collector who has just bought the painting
for a jaw-dropping price, fashionably keeps
the collar of his black shirt open. Not so for
Marc, Serges longtime pal. Marc, a
traditionalist who likes figures in his
landscapes, is fully buttoned up, with a
necktie. He hates Serges painting, which
makes him wonder if perhaps now he hates
Serge. Their friend Yvan waffles about the
painting. He droops around with his shirttail
out. If the clothing can so nearly make the
men, does that mean that playwright
Yasmina Rezas play is precise, or
oversimplified? Director Matthew Gardiners
smooth production settles nothing, but it
reaffirms the near-foolproof, crowd-pleasing
nature of the piece. Gardiners three actors
handle Rezas prickly dialogue like archers,
with punch lines and insults whistling
through the air and piercing their targets.
John Lescault brims with confidence and
sophistication as Serge, his chin slightly up
as he assesses Marcs unexpectedly
personal critiques. As Marc, Mitchell
Heberts near-genius with angst is ideal: His
perpetually pained expression reads like
cosmic heartburn, and each zinger about
the art and the friendship is meticulously
crafted, a smart bomb of intellectual and
egotistical discontent. Yvan is the clown of
the group, which is probably more rewarding
to play in big houses than in such an
intimate space as Signatures roughly 100-
seat Ark. Nonetheless, Michael Russotto
gives a bright, open performance that
appealingly supplies the emotional
counterpoint for the often dry sniping
between culture warriors Serge and Marc.
And so Art sails along, funny, engaging and
devilishly efficient. Brittle and slight? Or
pointed and crafty? Audiences will no doubt
debate on the way home.

gDIVORCEES, EVANGELISTS AND
VEGETARIANS
At GALA Theatre-Tivoli through Sunday
Even travelers on the busiest urban
transport system might do a double take
at Gloria, the spurned woman who rages
into a subway at the start of this play by
Gustavo Ott. As portrayed by Menchu
Esteban in director Abel Lopezs zesty
production of the three-actor comedy,
Gloria seems not so much a furious city
dweller as a cyclone with a hangover and
a Saks Fifth Avenue charge card.
Estebans Gloria storms onto the subway
platform ranting to no one in particular
about her no-goodnik married lover. She
makes serpentine hand gestures as she
calls her lovers wife a snake. Who could
blame the platforms only other occupant,
a demure divorcee named Beatriz
(Monalisa Arias), for getting swept up in
the gale? Beatriz is in the subway with the
aim of hurling herself beneath a train, but
her suicide plans fall by the wayside when
Gloria insists upon her company. Add in
Glorias friend Meche (Gabriela
Fernandez-Coffey) a kookily pious
evangelical suffering from a midlife crisis
and you get a pleasantly loopy urban
adventure-cum-gabfest, complete with
feuds, gossip, surreptitious pot-smoking,
an exorcism and bittersweet talk about
love, disappointment and emotional
healing. While paying sincere tribute to
the power of friendship, female bonding
and personal resilience, the script
maintains an appealingly screwball tone
and pace. Its enjoyably irreverent about
men, shopping, sexual self-indulgence,
religious sanctimony and diet trends
(Gloria is ostensibly a strident vegetarian).
And, most important, it contains three
roles that are godsends for gifted actresses.

gKING LEAR
At the Crystal City Theater through May 8
Synetic Theaters artistic director Paata
Tsikurishvili, who with King Lear continues
his series of wordless productions of
Shakespeare, looks upon the tragedys toll
of loss heaped on loss as a stormy circus, a
grim carnival whose ringmaster is a lithe,
beckoning incarnation of Death. So Lear
and his children, allies, advisers and
enemies all wear permutations of the
kingdoms native costume: clown suits. With
faces varnished a ghoulish white and eyes
caked in black-and-red makeup, they form a
cortege of gargoyles, dancing to the
grotesque music of ruin and carnage. The
spectral beauty of Tsikurishvilis Lear is
unlike any of his previous attempts at
staging Shakespeares plays without any of
Shakespeares dialogue. Visually and
choreographically the piece coheres even
more seamlessly than in past efforts, and
the 95-minute play flows with an assurance
of tone and style that satisfyingly builds on
and refines the troupes one-of-a-kind
aesthetic. Lears blighted domain is
hauntingly realized as a husk of a no mans
land. The stage floor is thick with sand,
which the actors slog through as if nature
has them by the ankles. When the winds
howl in Lears celebrated scene on the
heath, the earth kicks dirt in his face. So
degraded is his condition that it even rains
sand. Lear charts the arrogant kings
abrupt downfall after he foolishly bases his
choices for dividing up his kingdom on his
elder daughters phony supplications. The
fatal cocktail of Lears vanity, mixed with his
daughters undiluted malevolence, takes us
with them slam-bang into the darkness. This
Lear wisely plays in softer ways with the
overarching conceit, and the manner in
which images of hardness and delicacy
intermingle will have you musing long after
the lights come up.

LIBERTY SMITH
At Fords Theatre through May 21
Embroidered by optimistic ballads and
dividing history into adorable good guys
(Benjamin Franklin) and Captain Hook-like
nasties (Benedict Arnold), Liberty Smith
could without much fuss be translated into
computer-generated imagery and rented out
in the childrens sections of video stores. Its
all a harmless riff on what spills out of every
elementary school history text: The fictional
title character whimsically figures in
everything from the sewing of Betsy Rosss
flag to the writing of the Declaration of
Independence. Like formulaic kid flicks,
Liberty Smith also feels as if its missing
something a glimmer of real personality,
maybe, or a more original point of view. Its
portrayal of Libertys selfless contributions
to history is certainly wholesome. Still, its a
lesson thats packaged for delivery to only
the most impressionable in the audience.
The musical does not start promisingly: the
aged Liberty Smith, portrayed as a 127-year-
old by Drew Eshelman (whos, uh, really not
that old) regales a group of amateur history
reenactors with the tales of what he says
actually happened during the Revolution.
This artificially opens the song- and book-
writing doors to some fractured accounts of
Libertys run-ins with a slew of legendary
figures, all of whom require a helpful nudge
from him to make their indelible historical
impact. Although Liberty Smith tosses in a
couple of totally inappropriate off-color
references, theres no concealing that the
show seems designed for those seeking the
comfort of a tried-and-true style of all-ages
entertainment. Surely that is why the
infamous traitor Benedict Arnold bears a
resemblance less to a real person than to a
dastardly lion. And if you dont know who
Scar is, you might want to get with the
program.

MAGNIFICENT WASTE
At Flashpoint through May 8
You are asked to pause and contemplate an
art installation when entering the small
Mead Theatre Lab for Factory 449s
production, and there he is: a slender young
man in pink briefs and feather boa, sitting
inside a fluorescent-lit cube. Caridad Svichs
smirky play goes downhill super-fast from
there. She lampoons decadence and labors
to make it cutting-edge, but it keeps coming
off as weary and arch. Three minor pop
successes an insipid talk-show host, a
blond bubblehead fashionista and the hard-
bitten woman who made $300,000 for the
lad in the cube pose and gripe about life
and commerce and art while popping pills
and swilling booze. For long stretches, the
play isnt so much performed as it is
screened. Jesse Achtenbergs video design
is sometimes used for scenery. The
stereotypically inane talk-show bits are
filmed, though not well, and there is even
live video as a rich art collector lets his tiny
camera peruse the sleeping figure of Lizzie
B. Despite this high tech, the production
isnt nearly as slick as 4.48 Psychosis, the
rigorously acted Sarah Kane drama that
made Factory 449 such an intriguing new
presence two years ago. Svich targets a
synthetic and destructive culture fueled by
cheap sensation, but once she has built that
milieu she cant seem to get clear of it. The
actors sling a lot of attitude, but what does
Svich wants us to do with this hollow snark
besides condemn it? You listen closely for
hints of comedy struggling to get out. Surely
were meant to laugh at trend-hunting
characters hitting the oxygen bar in the
name of purity. Apparently we arent, for the
production by John Moletress never shakes
its leaden tone.

NATIONAL PASTIME
At Church Street Theater through May 15
Its the 1930s and times are hard, even for
the media, but a fast-talking dame dreams
up an innocent hoax to foist upon an
unwitting but enthusiastic public. Profits
and good feelings ensue. It sounds like
Meet John Doe, but it isnt nearly as
interesting. Keegan Theatres show, directed
by Mark A. Rhea and Susan Marie Rhea,
wanders along its carefree way, grinning for
2.5 aimless hours. Here a young lawyer
named Karen suggests that a failing radio
station can save itself by broadcasting
imaginary baseball games. The setting is a
rural Iowa town that once had a beloved
team; Karen figures if the station
announces that the team has been revived
but has to play all its games in Europe. So
the busy, optimistic bees of WZBQ embrace
the fairy tale. Karen recruits two Chicago
thugs to be ballplayer personalities, and a
station employee named Barry scripts play-
by-play for the games. These bits are done
as blackout sketches, though, and that
eventually draws attention to the lack of an
actual plot. Oh, Barry and Karen are kind of
attracted to each other, and so are second
bananas Lawrence and Mary. The second
act is obliged to start somewhere, so it picks
up these romantic threads and fleshes out
what had been a very amusing running gag
about Betty Lou, the receptionist who
dreams of fleeing to Hollywood. Its just a
random goof, and if you want to argue that
many a 1930s musical was equally shaggy,
okay. But they had a lot of splashy dancing,
where this has a very little cautious
choreography by Kurt Boehm. And the
songs here are decidedly minor league. The
two-tier radio station set is functional, but
youd be pressed to call either the big,
cheerful cast or the small orchestra
polished. The syrupy show itself is corn
but corn thats suffered a touch of blight.
Shucks.

THE NEWELECTRIC BALLROOM
At Studio Theatre through May 8
The three sisters of Enda Walshs The New
Electric Ballroom are linked forever by
blood and thwarted potential. The elders of
the trio, Breda (Sybil Lines) and Clara (Nancy
Robinette), loll about, archiving their
reminiscences of extinguished romantic
hopes, while their younger sister, Ada
(Jennifer Mendenhall), takes care of the
household and waits for her chance to
create her own passionate memories. This
gracefully acted, 90-minute drama
completes the three-play festival of Walshs
work. Although the time seems to be the
present, the situation and surroundings of
Ballroom feel temporally frozen in a sleepy
Irish fishing village. The women of
Ballroom are trapped in the past,
endlessly reenacting the purported thrills of
an evening at the titular dance palace, in
which a local playboy supposedly made
passes at the elder two. Director Matt
Torneys sound guidance includes eliciting a
delightful performance from the evenings
fourth player, Liam Craig, in the role of the
aptly named Patsy. It is the change in the
womens attitude toward Patsy, from
contempt to something warmer, that ignites
the plays one electric interlude. An
audience can feel how ferociously the act
turns on Mendenhalls suffocating Ada,
though Walshs occasional literary self-
consciousness places constraints on the
scenes poignancy. You remain a bit more
impressed by the writers poetic gift than
absorbed with the characters drives and
desires. Nevertheless, The New Electric
Ballroom provides another evenings worth
of evidence of why it was smart to make so
much room for Walsh in Studios schedule.
Even if breakthroughs arent in the cards for
Ada and her sisters, bigger things lay ahead
for the man who made them up.

RUN THROUGH THE UNQUIET MIND
At the Rasmuson Theater, National
Museumof the American Indian through
May 8
Things to love about Run Through the
Unquiet Mind, the in-process piece about
two survivalist brothers being chased across
the wilds of Utah, include the way Scot
McKenzie, as the older, tougher brother
named True, holds himself on the stage; the
ferocity of Dylan Myers as younger brother
Early, first glimpsed in a tight grid of light
that tells us hes in prison; and the use of
sound and space in Rasmuson, an
unusually handsome auditorium that
deliberately brings ideas of nature inside.
These are snapshots of a piece that
describes itself the same way: as a
snapshot. Run Through is a devised piece
by a collective of local theater artists called
Rootstock Field. The show is part of this
springs Wattage series by Capital Fringe,
champions of all things new. Not
surprisingly, the plot is the least polished
part of the written-by-committee drama. The
result is much more conventional than youd
expect. The waste-no-words dialogue is
intriguing, but the drama is conventionally
built on conversations, even when the
increasingly delusional characters are
talking to themselves. For suspense, the
group goes in for the old trick of withholding
information. Theres a heck of a situation
driving this scamper through nature, which
includes a nut-job father in the not-so-deep
background, and there are remnants of
some sort of underground survivalist
network. The slow drip of facts seems less
like a considered literary tactic, though,
than a reluctance to fully develop a plot. But
hey its a run-through.

You might think a play that grapples with

room for a warbling Abraham Lincoln doing
an interpretive dance. But then you might
not expect to encounter a piece of theater
as ingenious and cannily plotted as Stephen
Karams Speech & Debate. A suspenseful
tale that fuses keen-eyed civic critique with
riotous and even campy humor, Karams
work is on view in a resonant and
marvelously acted Rep Stage production
directed by Eve Muson. The three
protagonists of Speech & Debate know
theyre living in a social minefield, where
peers are judgmental, adults dictatorial and
condescending, and the Internet has

to town, and Diwata (Florrie Bagel), a
flamboyant would-be actress. Drown plays
up the incongruity of Howies song-and-
dance turn as Lincoln, and the actor is even
better in serious scenes. Ludwig is
splendidly stubborn, nerdy and haunted as
the journalism-obsessed Solomon, and
Bagel is a hoot as Diwata, whose habits
include improvising sung updates to her
video blog when shes tipsy. References to
investigating the world via Google crop up
often in Speech & Debate: For Diwata,
Howie and Solomon, the Internet is far more
trustworthy than any adult.

gTHE WALWORTH FARCE
At Studio Theatre through Sunday
From the instant the lights come up on The
Walworth Farce, the theatrics are at a
rolling boil. To one side, a young man
stripped to his briefs irons a flimsy
sundress; pretty quickly, hes capering
through the blasted London apartment,
wearing that feminine garment and acting
old scenes with his crazy father and
quivering brother. The father, Dinny, slaps a
curly blond toupee on his head, and while
Blake the bloke in the dress slips in and
out of various frocks and wigs, his brother,
Sean, sports a mustache held in place by a
fat elastic band around his head. The script
that this nutty family performs apparently
over and over, day after day is its violent
history in Cork, Ireland, before Dinny fled to
London with his two sons. When this fable
isnt performed to perfection, the old man
terrorizes the now-grown lads, and its about
stage from 47
at the first muff and tantrum that you notice
that the one door in and out of the terrible
flat is triple-locked. Such is the touch of Irish
playwright Enda Walsh, whose Walworth is
the second leg of the theaters three-play
festival in his honor. The Walworth
concept has a low-down flamboyance, and
as always with Walsh, the language is
action-packed. The play demands the
confident, peacocky performances its
getting here. As Sean, Alex Morf is perfectly
capable of keeping up with the family
theatrical ritual, which has sailed beyond
drama and farce and well into burlesque.
But Sean has seen the outside, and when a
kindly young woman from the local grocery
store comes looking for him well, fewer
surprises ensue than youd hope, even as
the play roars to its climax. Its a vigorous
show, a full-on immersion into a warped and
delusional world, but now and then you feel
some of Walshs cackling laughter getting
squelched as the cracked plays sinister
quality digs its fingers hard into the farces
throat.

PICTURES
OF THE
YEAR
Thrills and chills at the Winter Olympics. The
earthquake in Haiti. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
When news broke last year, photojournalists
were there to document the events, issues and
personalities that shaped our world.
This exhibition showcases some of the best news
photography of 2010 from Pictures of the Year
International, the oldest photojournalism contest in
the world. Judges reviewed nearly 50,000 entries
and picked winners in 44 categories.
Nikon is the exclusive sponsor of the 2011 Pictures of the Year
exhibit at the Newseum.
This exhibit was created in cooperation with Pictures of the Year
International, a program of the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism
Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism.
