A White House plane carrying Michelle Obama came dangerously close to a 200-ton military cargo jet and had to abort its landing at Andrews Air Force Base on Monday as the result of an air traffic controllers mistake, according to federal officials familiar with the incident. Ultimately, controllers at Andrews feared that the cargo jet was not moving quickly enough to clear the runway in time for the White House plane to land, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak for their agencies. Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed Tuesday that the first lady was aboard the plane and said that the aircraft were never in any danger. The White House referred all questions to the FAA. The FAA, already dealing with a series of controversies involving controllers sleeping and watching a movie on the job, sent a team of investigators Tuesday to the Warrenton radar control center, where the mistake was made. The number of air traffic controller errors where planes come too close to each other have increased dramatically in the past year. They still account for only a tiny portion of all flights, and very few of the errors put passengers at risk. The FAA classified Mondays error as an A, the most serious type. The first lady was returning from a television appearance and other events in New York with Jill Biden, the vice presidents wife, and was aboard a Boeing 737 that is part of the presidential fleet when the error occurred on the planes final approach to the base. The FAA controllers in the tower at Andrews recognized that the massive C-17 and the Obama flight were far too close when the Warrenton controller handed off responsibility for the two aircraft. They ordered the Obama plane to execute a series of S-turns in an effort to create a safe distance between it and the C-17, federal officials said. When those maneuvers failed to achieve the required distance between the two planes and the Andrews controllers faa continued on A11

War plans architect called away from Afghanistan

Gen. Rodriguez, seen as weak on salesmanship, wont succeed Petraeus

G REG J AFFE

No U.S. general has spent more time in Afghanistan than Lt. Gen. David M. Rodriguez. He is the primary author of the U.S.-Afghan war plan, a 600-pluspage classified document that is a catalogue of the lessons he has taken from three years of fighting the war. He can rattle off from memory the number of Afghan

bureaucrats manning a lonely outpost in the Zhari district. Four months ago, we had one district governor and a bad police chief, he said. Now there are 13 people and a good police chief. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the former top commander in Afghanistan, calls him the best combat leader I have ever known. But Rodriguez will not be leading the war in Afghanistan anytime soon. This summer he will be returning home to the United States to take over the U.S. Army Forces Command, a four-star job in the Armys vast stateside bureaucracy. The decision to bypass Rodriguez for the top job reflects a

determination among senior Pentagon officials that the war needs a commander who can make the case for the increasingly unpopular conflict to Congress, the news media and skeptics in the White House. In Washington, Rodriguez is seen as a savvy fighter but a so-so salesman. A Pentagon spokesman said no final decisions have been made about a replacement for Gen. David H. Petraeus, who has told the Pentagon that he will serve through the fall. The front-runner is Lt. Gen. John Allen, who played a key role in turning the Sunni tribes against the Iraqi insurgency

but has never served in Afghanistan. Rodriguez, friends said, is disappointed by the decision to bring him home. He will leave Afghanistan with the war still very much in doubt. He will also take with him a depth of experience in Afghanistan that few generals can match. Rod is the person who understands the Afghan power dynamic better than just about any other senior official, said Sarah Chayes, a civilian adviser to the U.S. military who has been a critic of U.S. policy.

ments debt limit? Two hands went in the air. He got the same reaction at another town hall meeting, and he expects it again at a tea party forum later this week. Schweikert, a Republican, isnt sure if hed raise his hand, either. This is his dilemma: He knows

Congress has little choice but to raise the amount of money the government can borrow to prevent the economic havoc sure to follow if the United States defaults on its loans. He also knows doing so is deeply unpopular not only among his conservative base, but among some moderates

and liberals, too. I desperately want to vote no, Schweikert said at the town hall. I also desperately dont want [the economy] to crash. If Schweikert finds himself in a difficult political spot, its partly of his own making. He and the scores of other Republicans who were elected last fall ran on an unyielding pledge to cut spending, reduce the nations debt and generally get the countrys finances in order, a mission that has been fully embraced by party leaders in Washington.

brussels Britain announced Tuesday that it will dispatch experienced military advisers to aid Libyan rebels in organizing their forces, as NATO and its allies struggled to break the stalemate in Libya without directly joining the fight on the ground. The British decision, announced by the Foreign Ministry in London, came as NATO warned that there are limits to the effectiveness of air power alone in defending the rebel-held city of Misurata. Rebel leaders there acknowledged Tuesday that they could not hold out much longer against persistent assaults by Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafis forces and appealed for NATO to send troops immediately. Britain emphasized that its military officers will not be directly involved in the fighting that has divided Libya over the past two months. But the decision to send the advisers represents a significant deepening of Western involvement and a recognition that the disjointed opposition force is incapable of dislodging Gaddafi on its own. It also reflects British frustration with the limitations of the NATO air campaign, which in a month of strikes has not succeeded in decisively shifting the balance toward the opposition. The advisers will operate independently of NATOs command. The British decision was denounced by Gaddafi loyalists in

Oakton Highs Caroline Coyer, left, and her twin sister Katherine have told college recruiters theyre a package deal. Both of us are at our full potential when were playing together, Caroline said.

aroline Coyer is the flashier player, a 5-foot-9 slashing point guard with a quick step. Her twin sister Katherine is a punishing 5-10 defender with a relentless motor. Caroline is outgoing. Katherine is more introspective, content to let her sister do most of the talking. But the similarities between the two 17-year-old juniors at Oakton High School far outweigh their differences. They have the same circle of friends, take most of the same classes, share a car,

clothes and shoes. They say theyve never spent more than nine days apart and we still talked on the phone, said Katherine. Now they are both being recruited by big-time college basketball programs as two of the best players in the Washington region. And for prospective Division I coaches, the fraternal twins have made a pact: They must play together at the same school. Caroline, who has won more basketball accolades than her sister and has attracted more interest, insists she plays better when Katherine is on the court with her.

So in her mind, if you take me, you have to take my twin sister, too. Both of us are at our full potential when were playing together, Caroline said. And, you know, she picks up the slack in places that I lack. I pick up the slack in places that she lacks. The sisters made their decision after much thought last summer. Both play soccer, too, but Katherine was the one drawing more interest from Division I soccer coaches. Determined to stay together with her sister, Katherine opted to give up her soccer aspirasisters continued on A13

It is Alfred E. Neuman.  An April 15 A-section article about the U.S. response to a crackdown in Bahrain cited the fact that the State Department has not recalled its ambassador as evidence of the Obama administrations muted objections to the kingdoms actions. The United States has not recalled any top diplomats because of the crackdown, but it currently has no ambassador in Bahrain; the last ambassador returned to the United States in January to take up a post at the State Department.

Supreme Court justices across the ideological spectrum signaled Tuesday that they might halt a huge global-warming lawsuit in which states are asking the federal courts to restrict polluting power plants outside their borders. Asking a court to set standards for emissions sounds like the kind of thing that EPA does, said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, referring to the Environmental Protection Agency. I mean, Congress set up the EPA to promulgate standards for emissions, and . . . the relief youre seeking seems to me to set up a district judge, who does not have the resources, the expertise, as a kind of superEPA. New York Solicitor General Barbara D. Underwood, arguing on behalf of six states, New York City and three land preservation groups, faced similar skepticism from the rest of the court. In addition, she had to contend with spirited opposition from the Obama administration, which said allowing the suit to move forward would be an epic mistake.

In the 222 years that this court has been sitting, it has never heard a case with so many potential perpetrators and so many potential victims, said Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal. The very name of the alleged nuisance global warming itself tells you much of what you need to know. There are billions of emitters of greenhouse gases on the planet and billions of potential victims as well. Washington lawyer Peter D. Keisler, representing the power plants, told the court that balancing the need for providing energy with the environmental costs of global warming is among the most complex, multifaceted, and consequential of any policy issue now before the country and is not suited for federal judges. The court in 2007 said that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are air pollutants that can be regulated under the Clean Air Act by the EPA. It said the agency could regulate auto emissions, and the effort now is underway to address existing power plants. The problem, Underwood told the court, is that Congress and the executive branch have been slow and reluctant. Despite recent efforts of the Obama administration and its EPA to move on setting restrictions, some congressional Republicans want to deny the agency the

power to deal with greenhouse gases associated with climate change. It could be a long time before EPA actually arrives at a judgment, Underwood told the court. A lot can happen to delay or derail the fulfillment of a promise. In the meantime, she said, the court should keep the federal courts open to states exercising their historic power to protect their land and their citizens from air pollution emitted in other states. Eight states initially banded together to sue: California, Connecticut, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. New Jersey and Wisconsin have since withdrawn. States may regulate utilities within their borders but need to go to federal court about pollution that crosses state lines. The states are suing older power plants in Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia and Minnesota, as well as the Tennessee Valley Authority. Underwood said collectively those plants produce 650 tons of carbon dioxide, about 10 percent of the countrys emissions. Although the issue before the justices was whether the case could go to trial before a district judge, they continually strayed into questions about how a federal judge could go about deciding such a case.

Underwood said courts have been deciding such cases for years, including an early 20thcentury case in which a Tennessee company was ordered to reduce sulfur emissions because it was harming trees in Georgia. But do you seriously argue this isnt orders of magnitude more complicated than that case? asked Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. He provided a list of questions he thought a federal judge would have a particularly difficult time answering. Justice Antonin Scalia wondered how a judge could order reductions by the specific plants that would make an impact on global warming, and questioned Underwoods grouping of the utilities. Youre lumping them all together, Scalia said. Suppose you lump together all the cows in the country. Would that allow you to sue all those farmers? I mean, dont you have to do it defendant by defendant? Justice Sonia Sotomayor did not participate in the case. She was on the panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York, which heard the case. She was nominated and confirmed to the Supreme Court before the decision to allow the case to move forward was announced. The case is American Electric Power Co. v. Connecticut.

doctors and women in 2002 when it determined that the risks of taking hormones for menopause outweighed the benefits. When the data from that study were originally analyzed, it found no increased risk for heart problems among women taking calcium and Vitamin D. But most of the women in the study were already taking calcium on their own, which may have hidden any risks. So Ian Reid of the University of Auckland and his colleagues reanalyzed the data to try to take that into account. The new analysis of data from 16,718 women, published in the British medical journal known as BMJ, found that the women who were not taking calcium when the study started but began taking it when they got into the research project were at 13 to 22 percent increased risk. The risk occurred regardless of whether the women were taking calcium alone or combined with Vitamin D, the researchers found. The researchers also analyzed data from 13 other studies involving 29,000 people all together, and

found increases in the risk for heart attacks and strokes among those taking calcium. The researchers speculate that there may be something about suddenly starting calcium that boosts the risk, perhaps by causing calcification, or hardening, of the arteries. Calcium may also make it more likely that blood clots will form, they said. These data justify a reassessment of the use of calcium supplements in older people, the researchers wrote. In an editorial accompanying the analysis, however, Bo Abrahamsen of the Gentofte Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Opinder Sohota of Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham, England, argue that there is still too little information to know for sure one way or the other whether calcium boosts the risk. More research is urgently needed to clarify the issue, they say. Clearly further studies are needed and the debate remains ongoing, they wrote.

Tornado victims face costly recovery

Shards of glass from old bottles and furniture smashed by a tornado that tore through town littered the concrete floor of Rhonda Carters antique store, shattering her plans to open an auction house in nearby Salemburg. A storage area in the back was flattened. I just had a feeling something bad was going to happen, and it did, Carter said of Saturday, when storms raged through Bonnetsville and other parts of North Carolina, killing at least 23 and damaging or destroying more than 800 homes. Now Im starting over. From remote rural communities to the states second-largest city, thousands of residents hit by the most active tornado outbreak recorded in North Carolinas history were clearing away rubble and debris, repairing power lines and facing a recovery that will cost tens of millions of dollars. Gov. Beverly Perdue (D) on Tuesday requested a federal disaster declaration for 18 counties, which would open up federal aid. The storms that chugged across the South last week killed at least 46 people in six states, but the worst devastation came during about four hours Saturday in North Carolina. A confirmed tally had been difficult to reach because of the far-flung destruction and multiple government agencies in-

volved. The Associated Press confirmed the identities of each of the 23 who died in North Carolina with relatives, local officials or state troopers. The National Weather Service said Tuesday that its preliminary analysis has identified 25 tornadoes in North Carolina.

Top Republicans who see the birther movement as a potential harm to their party are again disavowing the disproven conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was born overseas and is ineligible to be president. The issue seemed to have receded from mainstream debate, but it has reemerged in the partys early presidential nominating jockeying and in some state capitals. Democrats increasingly see the matter as a potential political boon, firing up an otherwise deflated party base around the sense that the countrys first black president is under fire because of his background. On Monday, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer became the highest-ranking Republican official to confront the matter, vetoing legislation to require presidential candidates to show a birth certificate or other document, such as a circumcision record, to prove eligibility. The move by Brewer came as real estate mogul Donald Trump has successfully elbowed his way into the top tier of GOP presidential hopefuls largely by questioning whether Obama was born in the United States. Brewers assessment that the bill was a bridge too far followed statements in recent days by other senior party officials and strategists who sought to put distance between the GOP and the birther movement some more bluntly than others. Karl Rove, the former George W. Bush strategist who advises the pro-GOP group American Crossroads, went on Fox News on Friday night to declare that Trump was off there in the nutty right and was a joke candidate for making

Obamas birthplace a centerpiece of his possible candidacy. Likely GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty also have said in recent days that Obama was born in the United States. Pawlenty even turned the matter into a stump-speech punch line. Now, Im not one to question the authenticity of Barack Obamas birth certificate, Pawlenty told a tea party rally over the weekend in Iowa. But when you look at his policies, I do question what planet hes from. The renewed effort to tamp down birtherism underscores a view held by many establishment Republicans that the conspiracy theorists make up a small subset of the party base and risk turning off swing voters more interested in jobs and economic concerns. The new chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, Ryan Call, said Tuesday that getting distracted with questions about Obamas birth certificate does a great disservice to the real challenges that our country faces. Some strategists say the issue helps Democrats paint the GOP as extreme or fringe. Obama told ABC last week that the issue creates, I think, a problem for [Republicans] when they want to actually run in a general election where most people feel pretty confident the president was born where he says he was, in Hawaii. The Rev. Al Sharpton said he views Brewers veto as a concession that the birther movement has backfired on Republicans. What they meant as a negative ended up being a huge miscalculation because it rallied the very elements in society from women to blacks to Latinos who have always had to fight for recognition as equal citizens, he said in an interview. A lot of people see it as racism. Even when you achieve what people felt was unachievable, you still have to prove you are qualified. Thats how a lot of us read it. At a tea party rally Saturday in South Florida, Trump drew cheers as he repeatedly raised questions about Obamas origins. He also

took aim at Rove, charging that the strategist worked for an administration whose struggles gave us Obama. A spokesman for Trump could not be reached Tuesday. Despite extensive reporting by the nonpartisan PolitiFact site and other outlets debunking the notion that Obama wasnt born in Hawaii, the conspiracy theorizing has remained alive at least in some circles. The conservative site WorldNetDaily routinely runs stories questioning Obamas heritage. Talk show host Sean Hannity has echoed calls for Obama to show a birth certificate, though he has said he believes the president was born in the United States. Surveys suggest the issue could have resonance. A Fox News poll this month found that about onequarter of all voters, including more than a third of Republicans, believe Obama was not born in the United States. A slim majority view the idea as nutty, but four in 10 voters said there was cause to wonder. Washington Post-ABC News polling on the issue last year found a severe drop-off in Americans doubts about Obamas heritage when respondents were pressed, with only 9 percent of adults saying there was solid evidence he was born overseas and 10 percent saying it was just their suspicion. Some Republicans are pursuing the issue in state capitals. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, for example, would sign a bill requiring candidates for federal office to show a birth certificate as proof of age and eligibility, according to spokesman Kyle Plotkin. Plotkin said that Jindal did not doubt Obamas citizenship, and that the governor would sign the bill because it simply agrees with the U.S. Constitution. The author of the Louisiana bill, Republican state Rep. Alan Seabaugh, said the measure was not aimed specifically at Obama but that the debate over his birth certificate exposed a gap in the law. I have a hard time seeing a problem with enforcing the Constitution, Seabaugh said.

A GOP freshman Obama begins deficit-reduction tour weighs political and Administration tries reassure public on economic outcomes toplans to cut budget
undecided from A1 congressmen. If they vote to raise the debt limit, some will see them as sellouts, corrupted by the same Washington they promised to fix. If they dont, they could endanger the nations economy. Political strategists have begun comparing the debt ceiling to TARP, the $700 billion bank bailout that was seen as mustpass legislation when it cleared Congress at the height of the recession in 2008 but was so unpopular that it ended up costing some lawmakers their careers. Many freshmen, including Schweikert, are searching for a middle ground, saying they would reluctantly raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit if spending caps or other long-term measures to bring down the deficit are part of the deal. House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) has privately told administration officials and Wall Street executives that he believes raising the debt limit is the responsible thing to do. Still, he has signaled that he plans to leverage the reluctance of fellow Republicans to win longer-term spending concessions from Democrats. When told of the pros and cons of raising the debt limit, 62 percent of Americans surveyed in an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll this month said they did not support raising the debt limit. Thirty-two percent suphappen by July 8 unless the debt limit is raised interest rates would spike, the countrys good credit would be damaged, and a row of other dominoes would fall, culminating in a debt crisis. I believe we get punished from both directions, Schweikert said at the meeting. If we all walk in and are good little soldiers and vote yes, theyre going to punish us because we raised the debt ceiling we didnt scare the markets today, but youre not taking your debt seriously. If we dont do it, interest rates start to explode. Schweikert talked about the news that broke a couple of hours earlier: The ratings agency Standard & Poors effectively put the United States on credit watch, saying the government could lose its coveted AAA rating if it does not bring spending in line with revenue. Pointing to the news, Schweikert said he would not vote to raise the debt limit unless there were substantial game-changers by way of spending caps and budgetary reforms that would prove U.S. sovereign debt would be good decades from now. In his 2010 race against the incumbent, Harry Mitchell (D), Schweikert never took a position on the debt limit, he said. But Schweikert campaigned in this relatively well-educated and wealthy suburban swing district as a fiscal conservative and attacked his opponent for backing costly legislation, including the $787 billion stimulus. At the town hall, Schweikert cast the debt situation in apocalyptic terms. This is about the survival of your republic right now, he said. That prompted one man to interrupt him: Dont just give us this lip service. Do something. Schweikert said hes been trying. He voted for every spending cut that came to the floor one week in February, making him one of only 47 House Republicans with a 100 percent record on a series of hundreds of spending amendments, according to an analysis by the conservative Heritage Foundation. Over lunch at his favorite vegan Indian buffet here, Schweikert repeatedly referred to himself as one of the most conservative freshmen something he believes gives him a sort of street cred with tea party activists when talking about raising the debt ceiling. Schweikert, 49, seems about as wonky as any duly elected fiscal wonk can get. The former Maricopa County treasurer carries a 12c financial calculator and actually knows how to use it. He sits on the Financial Services Committee and said he spends five hours a day studying the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae mortgage businesses for the subcommittee he helps lead. And he met the woman he would marry when she picked him up after spotting him reading an accounting modeling textbook. He was at a Starbucks; she, walking by, did a double take and said she had used the same book in graduate school. My branding is, umm . . . Im the math-budget guy. Im a little geeky, Schweikert said in an interview after the town hall. Its this appreciation of fiscal minutiae that Schweikert is trying to spread among his constituents. He criticizes the public for its lack of factual information about the debt. Its sort of government by folklore, he said. You get in front of these rooms, and theyre like, Dont vote for the debt ceiling! Schweikert hears that but isnt so sure he has that luxury. Isnt that my job? the congressman said in the interview. Instead of just giving pablum thats easy the willingness to say, Heres what I understand the truth to be?

If we all walk in and are good little soldiers and vote yes, theyre going to punish us because we raised the debt ceiling. . . . If we dont do it, interest rates start to explode.
Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.)

The Obama administration made a coordinated effort Tuesday to reassure nervous investors and a concerned American public that sharp ideological differences would not prevent the two parties from reaching an agreement in coming months over how best to close the federal budget deficit. Addressing a town-hall-style forum at Northern Virginia Community College, President Obama said he was hopeful that Republicans and Democrats would set aside partisan rancor to trim $4 trillion from the budget over the next dozen years, a figure he said both sides agree is necessary to change the countrys fiscal course and protect the economy. He spoke as his Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, made a series of television appearances designed to calm any lingering anxiety in the financial markets stemming from a leading ratings agencys warning about the longterm health of the U.S. economy. Geithner disagreed with Standard & Poors negative assessment of the U.S. economic outlook issued Monday and emphasized that there is an emerging consensus on how much we have to do to reduce the deficit, a potentially hopeful sign Obama stressed in his own public appearance. I believe that Democrats and Republicans can come together to get this done, Obama told a largely friendly audience at the college in Annandale. It wont be easy. There are going to be some fierce disagreements. Shockingly enough, there will be some politics played along the way. But, he continued, Im optimistic. Im hopeful. Both sides have

come together before. I believe we can do it again. Obamas town-hall-style event was the first of three scheduled this week, all on the theme of the countrys poor fiscal health and his plan to change it. He leaves Wednesday for California, where he will hold a forum at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, and then he travels to Reno, Nev. His message aimed at the middle class whether in trying to feel its pain over rising gas prices or pledging to preserve Social Security for coming generations amounted to an early rehearsal of the argument he will be making in the months ahead for why he deserves a second term. In that spirit, Obama tempered his optimism Tuesday with a populist warning designed to bring the concerned students, teachers and others gathered inside the college auditorium off the side-

lines for the fight ahead, not only over fiscal policy but also his reelection effort, which he has tied tightly to that debate. There are powerful voices in Washington. There are powerful lobbies and special interests in Washington. And theyre going to want to reduce the deficit on your backs, Obama said. And if you are not heard, thats exactly whats going to happen. He pledged to protect education funding and tuition credits, find savings in waste at the Pentagon and in ineffective social programs that he said members of his party must be willing to eliminate, invest more in clean-energy technology and infrastructure to help business, and ask Americas wealthiest to pay higher taxes. Republicans have labeled that emerging platform as an overly burdensome government agenda at a time of fiscal and economic

hardship. In a statement issued soon after Obamas appearance, Rep. Eric Cantor (Va.), the House Republican leader, said, The last thing working families and small businessmen and women in the Commonwealth need is a tax hike courtesy of President Obama, especially at a time when jobs must be our focus. A new round of deficit-reduction talks is set to begin May 5 at Blair House, with Vice President Biden serving as the administrations chief negotiator. On Tuesday, congressional Republicans appointed two senior anti-tax conservatives, Sen. Jon Kyl (Ariz.) and Cantor in the House, as their emissaries to the talks.

ported raising it. That this would be a tough sell to the public was clear even before Schweikert entered the auditorium of the Granite Reef Senior Center for his town hall on Monday. As people settled in their seats, Dennis Dugan approached the congressmans chief of staff and held up a picture of a penguin that a 6-year-old family friend drew. This is what its all about, Dugan, 64, a retired accountant, told the aide. What were doing right now is eating our young alive. We need to control the money. Dugan is against raising the debt limit. So is Tina Hartwig. We have too much debt already, and pretty soon foreign countries will be owning us, said Hartwig, 65, a retired businesswoman. Add to the chorus Emilia McCarthy. We have to get a handle on things, said McCarthy, 72, a self-identified tea partyer and real estate agent who retired a few years ago when the market started to collapse. Its just like if you max out your credit card and you call to see if you can get your limit raised even though you cant pay your bill. Of course, its not quite that simple. The congressman explained that if the government defaults on its loans which the Treasury Department expects to

Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) who says hes one of the most conservative freshmen hugs Alice Boyd at a town hall meeting.

Despite growing concerns about the countrys long-term fiscal problems and an intensifying debate in Washington about how to deal with them, Americans strongly oppose some of the major remedies under consideration, according to a new Washington PostABC News poll. The survey finds that Americans prefer to keep Medicare just the way it is. Most also oppose cuts in Medicaid and the defense budget. More than half say they are against small, across-the-board tax increases combined with modest reductions in Medicare and Social Security benefits. Only President Obamas call to raise tax rates on the wealthiest Americans enjoys solid support. On Monday, Standard & Poors, for the first time, shifted its outlook on U.S. creditworthiness to negative because of the nations accumulating debt. The announcement rattled investors and could increase pressure on both sides in Washington to work out a broader deal as part of the upcoming vote over increasing the governments borrowing authority. The president and congressional Republicans have set out sharply differing blueprints to deal with the looming problem. Obama has called for agreement on at least a framework by early summer, which roughly coincides with the deadline for raising the nations debt ceiling. Public resistance to many proposals in the competing plans could greatly complicate those discussions. Altering entitlement programs still involves political risk, the poll shows, and proponents of such changes face a substantial challenge in persuading the public that they are needed. The two sides are far apart philosophically, and neither enjoys great public confidence: Fiftyeight percent of those polled disapprove of the way the president is handling the budget deficit. Even more 64 percent give Republicans in Congress low marks. The public is split about evenly on whether Obama or congressional Republicans are more trusted to find the right balance between cutting unnecessary spending and preserving priorities. On that question, public opinion is unchanged since last month, despite the recent battle over funding the government for the rest of the current fiscal year, resulting in a deal that includes

$38 billion in cuts and that came barely an hour before the government was scheduled to shut down. Congressional Republicans maintain a narrow edge over Obama when it comes to taking a stronger leadership role in Washington, 45 to 40 percent. And political independents side with the Republicans on tackling the burgeoning debt. But Obama maintains a key, double-digit advantage among independents when it comes to protecting the

middle class. The Republican budget plan, drafted by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (Wis.) and approved by the House last week, calls for a major restructuring of Medicare and Medicaid, with sizable savings in future costs. Obama, in his plan, opposes the GOPs restructuring, but he has said that future savings will be needed to keep Medicare solvent. The Post-ABC poll finds that 78 percent oppose cutting spend-

ing on Medicare as a way to chip away at the debt. On Medicaid the government insurance program for the poor 69 percent disapprove of cuts. There is also broad opposition to cuts in military spending to reduce the debt, but at somewhat lower levels (56 percent). In his speech last week, the president renewed his call to raise tax rates on family income over $250,000, and he appears to hold the high ground politically, according to the poll. At this point, 72 percent support raising taxes along those lines, with 54 percent strongly backing this approach. The proposal enjoys the support of majorities of Democrats (91 percent), independents (68 percent) and Republicans (54 percent). Only among people with annual incomes greater than $100,000 does less than a majority strongly support such tax increases. An across-the-board tax increase is decidedly less popular, at least when coupled with benefit reductions. A report by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility recommended shared sacrifice. But in the poll, a slim majority 53 percent opposes small tax increases and minor benefit cuts for all as a way to significantly reduce the debt. Strong opposition to that kind of solution outnumbers strong support by 2 to 1. There is broad support for keeping Medicare structured the way it has been since it was instituted in 1965: as a defined-benefit health insurance program. Just 34 percent of Americans say Medicare should be changed along the lines outlined in the Ryan budget proposal, shifting it away from a defined-benefit plan. Under that proposal, recipients would select from a group of insurance plans providing guaranteed coverage, and the government would provide a payment to the insurer, subsidizing the cost. Advocates say this approach is more sophisticated than a pure voucher plan. In his speech last week, Obama attacked that idea, saying it could leave some Americans without adequate coverage and would end Medicare as we know it. While the debt issue lingers, most Americans 59 percent do approve of the deal stitched together to avoid a government shutdown by cutting billions from this years budget. The telephone poll was conducted April 14 to 17 among a random national sample of 1,001 adults. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

U.K. experience with negative debt outlook may help U.S.

Austerity plan satisfied S&P and world markets, but British felt pain
BY

Z ACHARY A . G OLDFARB

Nearly two years before President Obama and Congress were warned that the United States could lose its top-of-the-line credit rating, their counterparts in London received the same message. British politicians responded to the admonition from Standard & Poors with deep spending cuts and tax increases. In the following year, British economic growth slowed dramatically and the streets filled with demonstrators opposing the cuts. The experience could be instructive as U.S. officials weigh what to do about the nations soaring debt. On Monday, S&P changed its outlook on the United States from stable to negative. The ratings agency said the country could lose its coveted AAA credit rating if it didnt work quickly to curb its fast-growing national debt. In May 2009, S&P took the same action with Britain. Within a year, a new Conservative Party-led coalition in Parliament put in place dramatic measures to cut government spending by 25 percent, raise the national sales tax to 20 percent from 17.5 percent and reduce the annual budget deficit. The prized National HealthServicewassavedfromcuts. S&P rewarded Britain, saying the country was no longer at risk of a downgrade and upgrading its rating to stable. But the austerity plan came with significant costs. Economic growth, which had been tepid in the wake of the global recession, slowed dramatically. In fact, in the final three months of 2010, growth turned negative, and the British economy shrank by half a percentage point. Massive demonstrations ensued in protest of budget cuts that could cost hundreds of thousands of workers their jobs, cut welfare payments and force people to postpone retirement. But there were also advantages. The global capital markets kept their faith in Britain crucial for a country that for the near future will need to borrow heavily at cheap rates to finance government operations. As concerns about the massive British debt took center stage in 2009, interest rates on the coun-

trys 10-year bonds had been rapidly increasing, rising to 4.2 percent from 3 percent. It was a sign that the countrys creditors were beginning to get nervous that the nations debt was becoming unsustainable. After the new Conservative-led coalition passed the austerity plan, interest rates promptly dropped, falling below 3 percent. Today theyre about 3.5 percent. Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, a research fellow at the Peterson Insti-

tute for International Economics, said it was important for Britain to take the steps, even if they proved politically detrimental. At the time you avoided what could be quite a destabilizing scenario. If you had not adopted that kind of austerity plan, the U.K. would not have been put back on a solid path of stability, Kirkegaard said. It is not as clear whether the United States faces the same urgency to pursue significant cuts to

reduce the deficit. You dont have to have extreme austerity right now to come up with a plan that is long term, said Steven Hess, chief credit officer of Moodys ratings agency. Its the long term trajectory thats important. But analysts at S&P, a Moodys rival, suggest there is greater urgency. Credit analyst Nikola G. Swann said that to preserve its credit rating, the United States needs to be clearly implementing a plan to reduce the debt by 2013.

The financial markets have so far shrugged off concerns about the U.S. debt. Interest rates on U.S. government bonds have stayed low and even declined Monday when S&P issued its warning. Economists say there are reasons to believe that capital markets will continue to provide cheap money to the United States. The dollar is the dominant global currency, and the Treasury bond is the most widely traded asset, considered a risk-free place to store

money for countries, banks and investors the world over. On the other hand, economists say the centrality of the Treasury bond in the global economy raises the stakes if a crisis of confidence were to envelop the United States. While Japan was able to withstand an outright downgrade in 2002, it is difficult to guess at the cascading effects if that were to happen to the worlds most important economy.

Treasury was unable to sway S&P

BY

Z ACHARY A . G OLDFARB

The Obama administration privately urged Standard & Poors in recent weeks not to lower its outlook on the United States a suggestion the creditrating agency ignored Monday, two people familiar with the matter said. Treasury Department officials had been discussing with S&P whether the rating agency should change its outlook on the United States to negative from stable, an indication that the country could lose its crucial AAA rating in coming years over its soaring debt levels. Treasury officials told S&P analysts that they were underestimating the ability of politicians in Washington to fashion a compromise to curb deficits, a Treasury official said. They argued that a change in ratings was not needed at this time because the debt was manageable and the administration had a viable plan in the works, the official said. But S&P analysts told Treasury officials Friday that they were unmoved and released a report that expressed skepticism that the political parties could come together on how to bring spending in line with revenue. Any doubts by credit-rating agencies about government debt have the potential to increase borrowing costs for the Treasury. It is not uncommon for companies and governments to push back when they dont agree with a decision made by a creditrating agency. Sometimes, companies that issue debt which also pay for the ratings will shop around for the best rating. But the U.S. government is an unusual case it doesnt solicit ratings. S&P and the other major credit-rating agencies offer their judgments notwithstanding. Spokesmen for the Treasury Department and S&P declined to comment on the record.

president of Chuo Construction. The Chinook helicopters had to fly high to avoid potentially lethal radiation, and much of the 8,000 gallons they dropped during the days operation landed wide of the mark. He had an idea: Might not two huge German-made contraptions he had sitting outside his office here in Yokkaichi do a better job? The devices, truck-mounted concrete pumps, had maneuverable arms 52 yards long and could blast water directly onto the Tokyo Electric Power Co.s perilously overheated reactors and spent fuel rods.
YURIKO NAKAO/REUTERS

hen lead-lined Japanese military helicopters took to the sky last month to dump water onto the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, Kazunori Hasegawa watched the desperate and highly risky cooling operation on television with dismay. It was so inefficient, so inefficient, recalled Hasegawa,

I was ready to move right away, Hasegawa said. Tokyo Electric, known as Tepco, wasnt. More than a month after he offered to help, his machines still hadnt been put to use. Instead, Tepco, with help from the Japanese government, brought in similar, albeit slightly longer, pump trucks from Germany, China and the United States. Two with especially long arms arrived by air from Los Angeles and Atlanta last week. The episode illuminates some of the headaches that plagued Japans critical early response to the worlds biggest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. Initially reluctant to acknowledge the gravity of the crisis, Tepco played down the danger as it struggled to keep pace with an escalating and ever-shifting catastrophe at the six-reactor Daiichi complex. The plant had been built to harness complex laws of nuclear physics, but the damage it suffered in the March 11 earthquake-triggered tsunami generated a chaos of often-mundane logistical problems involving trucks and pumps, fire and water.

A massive operation
Tepco, the worlds largest private electric utility, supplied a third of Japans electricity before the quake and has dozens of subsidiaries abroad, including a uranium producer in Canada, a company in Delaware and a shipping firm in the Bahamas. Its size, combined with a rigid top-down hierarchy and a commitment to proven procedure, made the company a steady pillar of Japans

corporate establishment but crimped its capacity for swift and innovative action. When radiation spiked dramatically at its Daiichi plant on March 15 after an explosion at reactor unit 3 one of several blasts at the complex and the exposure of highly radioactive spent fuel rods, Japans Self-Defense Forces sent helicopters to dump water scooped from the sea. An initial attempt on March 16 had to be aborted because radiation was just too high. On the same day, at Tepcos Tokyo headquarters, the companys boss, Masataka Shimizu, vanished. His health cracking under the strain, he quit an emergency command center on the second floor and secluded himself in his office upstairs. When the military helicopters tried again the following day, Hasegawa, Chuo Constructions chief, sat glued to his television like much of Japan. After watching a spray of water drift aimlessly toward the nuclear plant, he knew that every minute mattered. The businessman contacted a local politician, Eikei Suzuki, who had contacts in Tokyo, and asked him to offer Chuo Constructions machinery for immediate use. It was early afternoon on March 17, just two days after radiation levels skyrocketed, and Japan teetered on the edge of a full-scale nuclear catastrophe. Suzuki, who at the time was running for governor of Mie prefecture against the ruling party, got in touch with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Tokyo and passed on Chuo

Constructions offer. Suzuki used to work at the ministry, a big promoter of nuclear power and also the industrys regulator. Later the same day, the nuclear safety agency, which is under the ministry, called Chuo Construction: Please wait awhile for a call from Tokyo Electric. While Hasegawa waited, military fire trucks and police water cannons were called in to squirt water from a distance. They sometimes hit their target but released so much water that the crippled nuclear facility was soon awash with contaminated liquid. Only last week did Tokyo acknowledge that radioactive material released in these early days made the disaster a level-7 event on an international scale, putting it on a par with Chernobyl. And it took until Sunday for Tepco to admit that cooling systems crippled by the tsunami were beyond repair and will have to be replaced. This and other work to halt radioactive emissions and bring the Fukushima Daiichi facility to a stable state will last six to nine months, the company announced. Three full days after his initial offer, Hasegawa received a late-night call from Tepco asking him to send his machines as soon as possible. He dispatched them the same night. Tepco, however, then decided it would wait for the arrival of similar devices from elsewhere. Noriyuki Shikata, deputy cabinet

spokesman, confirmed that Chuo Construction offered its machinery on March 17 and said the offer was passed on to Tepco the same day. Due to the situation, he added, some loss of time might have occurred, but this was because of operational reasons and the confusion attending Japans gravest crisis since World War II. A Tepco spokesman, Yoshimi Hitosugi, declined to comment on the utilitys dealings with Chuo Construction. He said German- and Chinese-made pump trucks are now in use at the Daiichi plant but added that it is extremely difficult to confirm the process of how decisions for each individual activity were made on the ground. Concrete pump machines, said Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy head of Japans nuclear safety agency, are more precise than the helicopters and fire hoses that were initially deployed. He said the concrete pumps had been used as soon as possible after they were offered. Asked about Tepcos delay in responding to Chuo Construction, he replied: It is a big company.

construction boss first made his suggestion, a deputy chief cabinet secretary met with the local boss of Putzmeister, a German company that manufactured the two machines owned by Chuo Construction. Putzmeister had no experience in cooling overheated fuel rods, but one of its machines had been used in a 1986 operation to seal the doomed reactor at Chernobyl. Hiroshi Suzuki, Putzmeisters Japan chief, took along a model of a truck-mounted concrete pump and explained that such devices could perhaps be used to fire water into the nuclear plant. They reacted quickly, recalled Suzuki, who was asked whether his company could divert a pump truck then en route from Germany to Vietnam via Japan for use at the Daiichi plant. On March 20, the pump started moving toward Fukushima prefecture from Yokohama Port near Tokyo, but trouble with the machinery brought the truck to a stop. At 10 p.m. the same day, Tepco finally called Hasegawa and asked him to send his own machines: We need your help now! Hasegawa recalls being told. His two pump vehicles set off on a 320-mile journey and, the following morning, reached a Tepco facility in Onahama, about 30 miles south of Fukushima Daiichi. Instead of carrying on to the nuclear plant, however, they were told to wait. There had been a change of plan: The machine originally destined for Vietnam had been repaired and was back on the road. It started working at the nuclear plant on March 22. A second machine, also manufactured by Putzmeister, arrived from central Japan a few days later.

Still waiting
In the weeks since, Tepco, with help from the Japanese government and Putzmeister, has scoured the world for concrete pump trucks. Chuo Constructions machines, though the first to arrive in the vicinity of the nuclear plant, sat waiting. Hasegawa takes some satisfaction from the fact that his idea, if not his machinery, has become a key part of emergency cooling efforts at the Daiichi plant. But he says he remains mystified by the holdup. One explanation, he says, might be that the government and Tepco wanted to sort out this problem by themselves.

Stops and starts

The government, for its part, moved more swiftly to embrace the idea of using concrete pumps, though not those offered by Hasegawa. A day after the

Raul Castro is named to top Communist Party post

Raul Castro was named first secretary of Cubas Communist Party on Tuesday, with his aging brother Fidel not included in the leadership for the first time since the partys creation 46 years ago. Despite raising hopes during the gathering that a new generation of leaders was poised to take up important positions, Raul Castro, the islands president, announced that Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, an 80-year-old longtime confidant, would be his No. 2. Ramiro Valdes, a 78-year-old vice president, was named to the No. 3 spot. Several younger politicians were added to the 15-member leadership group, but in lesser positions. Fidel Castro made a surprise appearance at the gathering, receiving thunderous applause from the 1,000 delegates assembled in a vast convention center in the capital, Havana. Fidel Castro had revealed last month that he left the partys top post when he fell ill in 2006 and had not returned despite still being listed as leader. The party congress also approved 300 economic proposals, among them, apparently, a recommendation to legalize the buying and selling of private property.

Arrigonis killing marked an unprecedented challenge to Hamas and triggered outrage among Palestinians in Gaza.

TURMOIL IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Among NATO allies, frustration with air campaign is growing

libya from A1 Tripoli as an act of war, with acting Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi describing it as a step to exacerbate and prolong the conflict. Libyan officials said their forces would fight any foreign military personnel, even if they were there to escort humanitarian aid convoys as the European Union has proposed. The Obama administration has said it will not send ground forces into Libya, and senior U.S. military officials said they have received no instructions to plan such an effort. But the administration has not ruled out what State Department spokesman Mark Toner described Tuesday as stepped-up non-lethal assistance. Toner also said that the possibility of arming the rebels has not been taken off the table. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said that the dispatch of military advisers is fully within the terms of U.N. resolutions expressly ruling out a foreign occupation force on Libyan soil. He said the group of experienced British military officers will not be involved in arming opposition forces or helping them plan operations. The group consists of 10 military personnel who will work with French liaison teams already on the ground, according to a European official familiar with the plans. They will provide support and training for the rebel command on military structure, communications, logistics and humanitarian aid. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told reporters in Paris that France will not send ground forces to Libya. But he said Western leaders had probably underestimated Gaddafis resolve and his militarys ability to adapt to the coalition air campaign. Axel Poniatowski, who heads the French Parliaments foreign affairs committee, had urged the government to assign 200 to 300 special forces troops to rebel units to act as advisers and forward spotters for NATO pilots as they seek to distinguish Libyan army targets from surrounding civilian areas. In this situation, we can be much more effective with special forces on the ground to designate targets, Poniatowski said on Europe1 radio in Paris.

Rifts among the allies

As Western frustration with the limits

of air power has grown, NATO officials have begun sniping at one another behind the scenes. Some have bemoaned President Obamas decision to withdraw U.S. aircraft from the strike mission, while others have expressed irritation at ongoing French complaints that some member nations are not doing their part. Since command of the operation switched from the United States to NATO, French officials have complained about the difficulty in getting targeting information that is timely and precise enough to permit bombing without causing civilian casualties. This has been a recurring obstacle to effective attacks on Libyan military vehicles and artillery, they say, and is one reason that many nations in the 28-member alliance have barred their aircraft from taking part in the bombing. Although more than a dozen NATO

countries have contributed to the air campaign, only six are currently flying strike missions: France, Britain, Canada, Norway, Denmark and Belgium. The need to avoid civilian casualties is a particular impediment in Misurata because areas of control constantly shift and the fighting is block by block, said NATOs chief of allied operations, Brig. Gen. Mark van Uhm. In addition, he charged, Libyan army commanders have deliberately placed tanks and artillery near civilian buildings to make it hard for NATO warplanes to hit them. The British advisers will be assigned to the British diplomatic representation in Benghazi, the rebel capital, which is an embassy in all but name. France, which recognizes the rebels Transitional National Council as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people, has a fullfledged embassy in Benghazi with mili-

tary personnel assigned to it. The United States and other NATO countries also have representatives on the ground in Benghazi, and they agreed at an alliance meeting last week in Berlin to coordinate their efforts. Toner said the allies on the ground were talking about ways to improve communications and ways to help the opposition, a goal that appeared to go beyond humanitarian assistance.

U.N. food convoy rolls out

In Brussels, officials said the 27 European Union states would be willing to launch a military mission to protect aid deliveries if the United Nations asked for it. But the United Nations said it would first prefer to pursue civilian options, and on Tuesday the U.N. World Food Program said it had started sending food into government-controlled western Libya

for the first time since violence erupted in the country. A convoy of eight trucks loaded with 240 metric tons of wheat flour and 9.1 metric tons of high-energy biscuits enough to feed nearly 50,000 people for 30 days crossed into western Libya on Monday from the Tunisian border town of Ras Jdir. Obeidi, the Libyan acting foreign minister, ruled out a pause in the shelling of Misurata to allow humanitarian aid into the city and said this could come only in the context of a cease-fire across the entire country, monitored by international observers.

Misurata, facing life or death crisis, requests foreign troops

Libyan city seeks help to fend off attacks by Gaddafis forces
BY

L EILA F ADEL

misurata, libya The top

governing committee in this besieged western city said Tuesday that it had made an official request for foreign troops on the ground here to stop the killing of civilians by Moammar Gaddafis forces. The request, which a member of Misuratas Judicial Committee said was sent last week, marks the first time that international ground troops have been formally sought by Libyan rebels as a humanitarian crisis looms in the strategic port city after a nearly two-month siege. Food, water and gas are running out in Misurata as Gaddafis troops pummel power stations, water tanks, food storage units and other key infrastructure with rockets, mortar shells and artillery fire. An untrained and outgunned rebel force has been unable to halt shelling and sniper fire in residential neighborhoods. The citys only opening to the outside world, the port, is under constant attack, routinely preventing access to it from land or sea. We need a force from NATO or the United Nations on the ground now, committee member Nouri Abdullah Abdulati told reporters Tuesday. Abdulati said that the Judicial Committees signed request had been sent to the Transitional National Council in Benghazi, the de facto capital of the oppositioncontrolled east, but that no reply had been received. The council, the only link between Misurata and NATO commanders, has said that it does not want foreign troops in Libya. We did not accept any foreign soldiers on our land. But that was before we faced the crimes of Gaddafi, Abdulati said Tuesday. We are asking on the basis of

humanitarian and Islamic principles for someone to come and stop the killing. The whole Arab world is calling for the intervention of the West for the first time in history. More than 300 people have been killed in the city of 500,000, said Khaled Abu Falgha, the head of the medical committee based at the Hikma hospital. But he said the number is probably closer to 1,000 because many people bury their own dead. Abdulati said the committee would want British or French troops to battle alongside rebel fighters in the city, both to protect civilians and to fend off Gaddafi forces. Its a situation of life or death, he said. If they dont come, we will die. As he spoke, explosions from rocket and mortar attacks could be heard, now a normal backdrop here. He said the United Nations was obligated to send in troops to protect civilians. This is an urgent situation, he said. The evidence for that was all around him. Apartment buildings pocked with artillery fire stood abandoned in the coastal Jazeera neighborhood, now a ghost town. The lobby of one was spattered with the dried blood of a family of four. Cars were smashed and riddled with bullets. In Zarooq, deemed one of the safest places in the city, men stood for hours in a bread line. Many said they had been displaced by constant rocket attacks on their homes in other parts of the city. Misurata is finished, screamed Fathi Ali al-Arbud, 45, as he waited. No one sleeps. Children die. Let America come here to save us. I dont care if its Obama or Sarkozy. Someone needs to save us. Arbud recently fled from his neighborhood of Qasr Ahmed after dozens of rockets rained down on the area. Munin al-Atrash, 20, standing in front of him in line, said a tank shell had killed his closest friend and cousin the day before as he sat in front of his home.

For freedom, we will all die, Atrash said. Around the corner, Abdul Hamid al-Sabti served customers in his supermarket. There were no diapers, baby formula, pasta or biscuits left. There was no way to restock, and he expected to run out of food within 10 days. Nearby, a group of engineers scrambled to try to deal with infrastructure problems. Gaddafi had cut off power to the city by bombing power stations and cutting cables. The groups repairs have restored less than 20 percent of the citys power supply, said Saleh el-Siwi, an architect who had joined forces with the engineers. The industrial area near the port has suffered major rocket attacks targeting fuel storage units, a desalination plant and gas reservoirs, Siwi said. Without electricity, the sewage system is not functioning, and on Tuesday, trucks were pumping sewage from tanks and dumping it in a marshy area outside the city. In the suburbs, families were digging wells, although the water they supplied was mixed with sewage from septic tanks. Weve assigned an engineer to each sector, Siwi said. Gaddafi is targeting our reservoirs of fuel. . . . He is killing us and everything sheep, cows, even cats. He is very angry at Misurata, and he gave an order to destroy everything. He said, I built everything in Misurata, and I will destroy everything in Misurata. Fuel for generators is being rationed, and families must apply to the Judicial Committee for a permission slip for 20 liters of gas, enough for three hours of electricity. We need protection from the United Nations, said Noura Ghaleb Amih, 35, as she left a food distribution center in Zarooq with bread, rice, tuna cans and tomato paste. She was displaced a month ago, she said, and had less than $80 left to support her family of four. If they dont protect us, she said, we will die.

Syria intensifies crackdown, removes emergency laws

4 people are killed after tens of thousands rally in third-largest city
BY

T ARA B AHRAMPOUR

beirut The Syrian government ratcheted up its efforts to quell weeks of demonstrations Tuesday, firing live ammunition into a crowd of protesters in one city even as it lifted decades-old emergency laws in an attempt to appease its critics. The actions came in the wake of the boldest, and most organized, anti-government rally in the month-long uprising, with protesters occupying a square in Syrias third-largest city as they demand an end to the Assad familys 40-year rule. Neither side has shown any signs of backing down, and Tuesdays events seemed to indicate that the struggle is likely to turn deadlier. In Homs, four people were killed after tens of thousands of demonstrators tried to stage an Egyptian-style sit-in in a main square, activists said. After firing warning shots into the air, security forces fired into the crowd and dispersed it, using tanks to secure the area, according to witness accounts. Hours later, the government announced an end to despised emergency laws banning large gatherings even as the Interior Ministry issued a statement urging Syrians to refrain from any mass rallies or demonstrations or sitting-ins under any title. Tuesdays events were a microcosm of earlier cycles of violence and concessions. More than 200 people have been killed in the government crackdown over the past month, human rights groups have reported. Opposition members said they had no faith in the new package of laws, which assert Syrians right to demonstrate but require Information Ministry approval for any demonstrations. Where government approval

is required and essential, that means you are entering into a new phase of repression, said Wissam Tarif, director of Insan, a Syrian human rights organization that had an observer in Homs on Tuesday. Tarif added that the reforms lack major components such as the release of political prisoners and an end to immunity for state security personnel. But the government is unlikely to offer more, said Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oklahoma. In announcing the new laws, he said, the regime has thrown down the gauntlet. Its drawn a line in the sand. Nor is the opposition likely to

forces opened fire on anti-government demonstrators Tuesday, killing at least three, amid rising international concern about the impoverished, strategically located country. The U.N. Security Council met late Tuesday to discuss the deteriorating situation in Yemen, where rights groups say two months of protests calling for the president to step down have claimed 120 lives. A Yemeni government delegation also headed to nearby Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, for talks with the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council over a proposal for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to transfer power to his deputy to end the crisis. Yemen, located at the mouth of the Red Sea across from lawless Somalia, is racked by rebellions, suffers from water and food shortages, and is home to a violent affiliate of the al-Qaeda network. On Tuesday, tens of thousands of people protested in the capital, Sanaa, and thousands demonstrated in Aden, Ibb, Hudaydah

and other cities. The Sanaa protest turned violent when security forces opened fire with live ammunition and lobbed tear gas canisters and stun grenades. The protesters threw stones in retaliation. A medical official and a witness said that at least two protesters were killed and that five were in serious condition. Thousands of protesters also

marched in the southern city of Taiz, demanding the presidents resignation, and security forces opened fire.

back down, he said, adding that the turnout in Homs, a major city populated by Sunnis, Syrias largest religious group, indicated a turning point in the oppositions ability to bring middle-class residents out to the streets. As long as the revolt has been in agricultural districts . . . the regime can contain them, he said. But, he said, the momentum has been gaining, and what happened in Homs was really scary for the regime. It shows that the main urban Sunni population is starting to come out. If the protests reach Damascus, the capital of Syria and seat of its wealth, in large numbers, he said, thats the gold moment. Most Syrians have stayed out of the protests, whether out of loyalty to the government or fear of reprisals or of a chaotic post-Assad nation.

On Tuesday night, 1,000 people demonstrated in Zabadani, a suburb of Damascus, and about 200 students staged a protest at Damascus University earlier in the day, Tarif said. Protests were also reported in Baniyas and Daraa. It was impossible to independently confirm the events beacuse foreign media have been restricted from reporting in Syria. If anything, the governments two-headed approach has seemed to galvanize them. If, on the same day that they announce the lifting of emergency laws, they make a decision to prevent peaceful protests, what does that mean? said Razan Zeitouneh, a human rights activist and lawyer in Damascus. Now, ordinary people are making jokes about the new laws, because they dont believe it anymore. President Bashar al-Assad, 45, who became president after the death of his father in 2000, belongs to the minority Alawite sect, a branch of Shiite Islam. His father, Hafez al-Assad, an Air Force general, came to power in 1971 in the aftermath of a military coup. His government has blamed the uprising on armed criminal gangs and on Islamist extremists, and it has accused protesters of being supported by foreign agents. On Monday, Syrian state television pointed repeatedly to a Washington Post report on U.S. aid to Syrian dissidents as evidence of foreign interference, activists said. Protesters have largely eschewed violence, but in at least two cases on Saturday in Baniyas and Tuesday morning in Homs individual protesters have fired at security forces, Tarif said. Landis said such incidents are likely to increase as violence against protesters escalates. Its going to happen, and its going to be brutal, he said. The Assad government, he added, has been repressive for 40 years. People are angry, and people are going to be looking for a chance to bring it down, and they dont want to play patty-cake.

Corpses line roads after Nigerian riots

Charred bodies are strewn about following election-result unrest
BY

J ON G AMBRELL

kaduna, nigeria Burned

corpses with machete wounds lay along roads and smoke rose above this north-central city where rioting broke out again Tuesday among Muslim opposition supporters angered by the announcement that Nigerias Christian incumbent president had won reelection Saturday. Authorities and aid groups have hesitated to release casualty figures following the riots across northern Nigeria, for fear of inciting reprisal attacks. But officials recovered 31 corpses from Kaduna alone Tuesday, with more likely to be found, according to Haruna John, the interim federal police commissioner in Kaduna state. The Nigerian Red Cross said nearly 400 people had been wounded. Election officials announced results Monday night that showed President Goodluck Jonathan won 22.4 million votes, compared to 12.2 million for his nearest rival, the Muslim former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari. After being formally presented with the returns in the capital, Abuja, Jonathan urged political and religious leaders to condemn the violence. Nobody wants to invest in a place, he added, where people fight, kill and destroy. Jonathan also suspended his

interior minister Tuesday, citing a number of lapses in the political leadership of the ministry. On Monday, supporters of Buhari set fire to homes of ruling party members in several areas across the mostly Muslim north. Police said an angry mob also engineered a prison break. In the northern town of Kano, the Rev. Lado Abdu said three churches had been set ablaze by angry demonstrators. An armed mob at a bus station also threatened another evangelical pastor before a Muslim man nearby intervened. What brought together religion and politics? the Rev. Habila Sunday said. I want to know why, when politics happen, do they burn churches? Thousands have been killed in religious violence in the past decade in Nigeria, Africas most populous nation. The unrest is unlikely to subside soon, given that more elections loom Tuesday, said Sebastian Boe, an analyst with IHS Global Insight. Security forces in the north are unlikely to be able to pacify the region in the coming weeks, particularly as the state governorship and local assembly elections are due to go ahead on 26 April, he said. Jonathan took office last year only after the countrys elected Muslim president died before his term ended, and many in the north still believe the ruling party should have put up a Muslim candidate instead in this years election. Mondays violence also was fueled by the economic despair in Nigerias arid north.

MIKHAIL GALUSTOV FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez, with a soldier in Kandahar province, has spent more time in Afghanistan than any other U.S. general.

Expert on Afghan war has new orders

rodriguez from A1 abuse of power, corruption and humiliation in driving the conflict. The flair he has for Afghanistan is incredibly rare. Rodriguez stands 6 feet 4 inches tall and typically wears a rumpled, slightly baggy uniform. In meetings with his staff, he listens more than he lectures, often playing with a pair of smudged, bent reading glasses. When Rodriguez first arrived in Afghanistan in 2007, he was shocked at how little the U.S. military knew about the country. I always felt uncomfortable that we didnt know enough because the focus of the nation had been on Iraq, he said. It took us almost six months to figure out what we were doing, which is way too long. After years of relative dormancy, the Taliban had reemerged as an enemy that was every bit as lethal to U.S. troops as the Iraqi insurgency. For the relatively small force of about 25,000 service members in Afghanistan, it was an intense period. On April 12, 2007, Rodriguez was visiting a company based at a remote outpost in Ghazni province when a U.S. patrol, racing to help another unit, struck a massive roadside bomb. Rodriguez, who had already led troops in two tours of Iraq, ordered his Black Hawk helicopter to land and pick up a badly wounded soldier. It is rare for a generals helicopter to touch down in the middle of a firefight. It is even more unusual for a general to attempt lifesaving aid. Rodriguez hunched over Sgt. David A. Stephens, a 28-year-old father of two, and tried to stem the bleeding from his legs, according to a soldier on the helicopter. Stay with us, the general yelled over the rotors thump. Stephenss battalion commander performed mouth-tomouth resuscitation on the soldier. He died on the helicopter. When Rodriguezs first tour ended in spring 2008, he was convinced that his troops work with the Afghan army and government officials had hurt the Taliban. An internal unit history from 2008 captures his optimism. The people began seeing a government responsive to their needs, the history said. Through polling we saw increased confidence in the government. In fact, weve seen numerous incidents of villages expelling insurgents and outright defying armed insurgent demands. Rodriguez took a job in the Pentagon as the senior military assistant to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates. As the months passed, the violence in Afghanistan grew. The Taliban had been able to intimidate the locals and exploit frustration with the Afghan government in ways Rodriguez had not seen or understood. It was really below the surface and insidious, he said. We fought hard every day to understand how Afghanistan worked. But we had a very shallow knowledge. class, earned a doctorate from Princeton University, and led a high-profile group of historians and military officers in drafting a new counterinsurgency doctrine for the Army. Rodriguez finished 13th from the bottom of his West Point class, an early failing that he still carries with him, according to friends. He has a disarmingly goofy sense of humor that he uses to get over the language barrier with Afghans. At a base south of Kabul recently, an Afghan army camerman tried to jog past Rodriguez so that he could get a shot of the general walking toward him. Rodriguez began running to keep pace. In a matter of seconds he had baited the camerman into an all-out, arms-pumping footrace to the cheering delight of the Afghan soldiers on the base. Rod is very charismatic, a fellow officer said. He just cant bring himself to translate that into a public persona. In the past year, Rodriguez has worked on the way he communicates. He stopped swearing after an aide calculated that he dropped 92 expletives in the course of a two-hour meeting with his staff. Last month Rodriguez met with a group of about a dozen prominent U.S. businessmen who were visiting Kabul as part of a battlefield tour. As he answered their questions, Rodriguez glanced down at an index card with key points he wanted to make. The card also included a couple of personal messages. One was the abbreviation SDD, which stands for slow down, dummy. It was a reminder to take his time explaining himself. Show some emotion! a second prompt urged. regional commanders to look into buying rock crushers and hire Afghans for $6 or $7 a day to make their own gravel. Six months later, the order appears to have been lost in the bureaucracy. Some officials blame the flurry of orders put out by Rodriguezs command for the inaction. The other big worry is the Talibans sanctuary in Pakistan. In his recent meeting with the business leaders, Rodriguez sketched out the magnitude of the problem: There are at least three plants in Pakistan that manufacture ammonium nitrate used in bombs in Afghanistan. Why dont you buy the ammonium nitrate plants? one member of the group asked. Why wouldnt you just bomb them? another pressed. Rodriguez replied that the only defense was to work harder to build the Afghan government and military. If Pakistan gets worse, we have to make it stronger over here, and then you are in a battle for time, he said. These days Rodriguez and his staff spend hours debating the best ways to measure progress in the areas where they have concentrated forces. For months they did it by making the regional commands answer 130 questions on each of the 90-plus key districts. Recently Rodriguez has pressed his staff to pare back the queries. Weve been too overbearing, he said. The problem is that U.S. commanders are trying to measure how Afghans feel about the Taliban and their government. It is all about their head and heart, Rodriguez said. And you just cant measure head and heart. In December, Gates told Rodriguez that he was considering promoting him to four-star rank and moving him to South Korea. For the first time in his career, Rodriguez resisted a new assignment. Some of it was personal. His wife, whom he had barely seen over the past four years, didnt want to move to Korea. Rodriguez also knew that the Korea job, which typically lasts three years, would make it impossible for him to return to Afghanistan. This summer Rodriguez will take over the U.S. Army Forces Command. In pressing not to go to Korea, he argued that the Afghan war might prove tougher than expected, several senior defense officials said. The Pentagon might need his experience.
jaffeg@washpost.com

West Point roots

In June 2009, Gates tapped McChrystal, who had spent most of his career in the secretive Joint Special Operations Command, to fix the foundering war effort. Gates selected Rodriguez to build a new command that would manage and plan U.S. and NATO military operations in Afghanistan. McChrystal and Rodriguez were West Point classmates and had been close friends since the mid-1980s. McChrystal initially focused on building a relationship with the mercurial Afghan president, Hamid Karzai. Rodriguez set to work on the war plan. With the help of representatives from half a dozen Afghan ministries, he identified about 90 key districts out of more than 400 that the Afghan government had to bring under control. Most were on major commerce routes or connected key agricultural areas to major markets. He assigned U.S. officers to work full time at ministries, such as education, finance and rural development, that he considered critical to building effective district-level government. The State Department absolutely hated it, because they saw it as militarizing civilian agencies, said Alissa Stack, who worked as a civilian employee for the Defense Department in Kabul and who led the effort for Rodriguez. But no one had ever explained the international military strategy to these ministries. They couldnt help us if they didnt understand what we were trying to do. Last June, McChrystal resigned after officers on his staff made disparaging comments about Obama administration officials. He was replaced by Petraeus, who has pressed U.S. forces to step up attacks on mid-level Taliban leadership but left the rest of the Rodriguez war plan in place. The two officers are strikingly different. Petraeus has carefully honed a reputation over the past 20 years as one of the Armys warrior-scholars. He finished in the top 5 percent of his West Point

Poll: 53% in U.S. view nuclear plants as safe

Almost two-thirds oppose building new reactors here
BY

P EYTON M . C RAIGHILL AND J ON C OHEN

A slim majority of Americans see nuclear power plants as a safe energy source, but nearly twothirds reject the idea of building new reactors in the United States at this time, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. The 53 percent who approve of nuclear power are a mirror image of the 53 percent who said such power was unsafe in the wake of the 1986 meltdown at the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine. But while there is majority support, more than four in 10 say theyre less confident in U.S. reactor safety after the troubles at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan. More just over half say the nuclear crisis in Japan has not led to a fundamental loss of confidence in U.S. plants. But there is less support than there was three years ago for new plants here. By a nearly 2 to 1 margin, more people oppose building new plants (64 percent against, 33 percent in favor). Thats a shift from July 2008, when new plants were opposed by a 53 to 44 percent margin. Since 2008, the percentage who strongly oppose new plants has more than doubled, from 23 to 47 percent. The poll shows the highest level of strong opposition in a decade. Strong opposition to plants spiked to 59 percent when respondents were asked whether theyd support a new nuclear facility within 50 miles of their home. The perceived lessons from Japan make a difference among those who say they feel less confi-

dent in U.S. nuclear power plants. Fully 67 percent strongly oppose building new plants anywhere in the country, rising to 84 percent against a facility nearby. Support for nuclear plant construction in the United States has not been particularly popular over the past 30 years although basic support levels have fluctuated. In the late 1970s, about half of all Americans favored building nuclear plants. Public views soured briefly after the March 1979 near-disaster at the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania. Support fell sharply in the 1980s, dropping to 19 percent in spring 1986, after Chernobyl. The 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident is Tuesday. Since then, support has rebounded, climbing as high as 44 percent in 2008 before fading to 33 percent in the new poll. The changes over the past three years are largely partisan. In 2008, 60 percent of Republicans favored building more plants. GOP support has dropped to 37 percent today. Support among Democrats and independents is also down, but not as sharply. There continues to be a bright dividing line on nuclear power issues between men and women. By a 20-point margin, more women than men oppose building nuclear plants. By 14 points, more women than men say plants are unsafe, and, by 18 points, more women than men say they are less confident in nuclear power because of the incident in Japan. The telephone poll was conducted April 14-17 among a random national sample of 1,001 adults interviewed on conventional or cellular telephones. The margin of sampling error for the full poll is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Signs of progress
In the past few months, there have been indications of the success of Rodriguezs approach. Violence in key districts where the U.S. and Afghan governments have concentrated forces is significantly down. Local government is taking root. The unanswered question is whether the gains will prove durable. Many of the power brokers and warlords, whose corrupt practices fueled the Talibans reemergence, still retain their influence. Last fall Rodriguez was touring a major U.S. base in southern Afghanistan when he learned that the U.S. commander in the area had paid $20 million to a construction firm linked to a corrupt regional power broker. He quickly issued an order asking his five

Manning will be moved to Fort Leavenworth

BY

E LLEN N AKASHIMA

Pfc. Bradley Manning, who has spent nine months isolated in a Marine Corps jail as the man suspected of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks, will be moved from his tiny cell at Quantico to a new Army facility at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., better suited to long-term detainees, military and defense officials said Tuesday. The move, which follows intense international criticism about Mannings treatment, will be imminent, Pentagon general counsel Jeh Johnson said. One military official said it is expected to happen Wednesday. We just wanted to get him to a place . . . where his well-being and his care and his pre-trial confine-

ment could be the very best we could provide, Army undersecretary Joe Westphal said at a news conference. He is a soldier. He is our soldier. And we felt we needed to take care of that. Though Johnson asserted that the move was not a criticism of Quantico we remain satisfied that Private Mannings pretrial confinement . . . was in compliance with legal and regulatory standards in all respects, his and others remarks made clear that senior officials considered Leavenworth to be better for Manning, and that negative publicity brought the issue before them. Because this has been in the newspapers, people at our level have been involved in taking a look at that as well, Johnson said. The series of high-level meetings

began several weeks ago, officials said. In recent weeks, criticism of Mannings confinement conditions reached new levels. Amnesty International and the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture expressed concern about Manning being held alone in a 6-by-12-foot cell for 23 hours a day. As a maximum-security detainee under prevention of injury watch, he had been made sleep in boxers with no blanket or pillow. For a few days, he was made to strip naked at night. Such conditions prompted then-State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley to call Mannings treatment ridiculous, counterproductive and stupid. He was forced to resign. Pentagon officials asserted that

they waited to move Manning pending completion of interviews in Washington that evaluated his mental competency to stand trial. The last interview was April 9. Mannings attorney, David E. Coombs, suggested on his blog Tuesday that the Pentagons move was related to his seeking a court ruling on whether Quantico officials violated Mannings constitutional right to due process. His legal motion, he said, was based on reports of a January meeting in which he said a senior Quantico official reportedly ordered that Manning be kept in maximum custody indefinitely despite a jail psychiatrists objection. We will do whatever we want to do, the official reportedly said, Coombs wrote.

Controllers error forces plane carrying first lady to abort landing

faa from A1 realized the cargo jet would not have time to get off the runway before the presidential plane arrived they aborted the landing of the Obama plane and ordered it to circle the base. airports, made a record number of errors in 2010. Nationwide, recorded errors by controllers increased 51 percent last year to 1,869. The Potomac facility recorded 52 controller errors, an increase from 21 recorded in 2009. In a memo to his staff last year, the centers director cited a definite increase in sloppy or poor adherence to SOP [standard operating procedure] and handbook procedures. In most instances both locally and nationally planes came too close but without risk of collision; in some, however, fatal consequences were narrowly averted. The go-around is seen by controllers as a fairly routine safety procedure that keeps planes out of greater trouble. In October, Reagan National Airport recorded 39 go-arounds, Dulles International Airport had 20 and Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport had three, according to an internal FAA document. In August, FAA records show at least seven instances in which planes on final approach to National were ordered to go around due to traffic on the runway. That traffic on the runway could be there because a plane that just landed hasnt moved out of the way quickly enough or, more likely, a plane cleared for takeoff has dawdled on the runway past the time when the controller expected it to be gone. In 2010, the National Transportation Safety Board took an unprecedented step by beginning to investigate the most serious mistakes by air traffic controllers. Among the cases under NTSB review are near-collisions between a Boeing 737 and a helicopter in Houston; a Boeing 777 and a small plane in San Francisco; and an Airbus 319 and a Boeing 747 in Anchorage. Another case under review is an incident last year near National that involved an airliner carrying a congressman. Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.) demanded an explanation from the FAA after his United Airlines flight bound for National swerved to avoid another jet after the encounter activated the onboard collision-avoidance system.
halseya@washpost.com Staff writer Nia-Malika Henderson contributed to this report.

The correct distance

Because an airplanes wake causes severe turbulence and, in extreme cases, can cause a plane that enters into it to crash, the FAA has strict standards on how much distance controllers should maintain between planes. A fully loaded C-17 can create such turbulence that the FAA requires other planes to remain at least five miles behind it. The presidential fleet 737 already was far closer than that when the handoff took place from the Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility in Warrenton. The manager and tower controller at Andrews did several things to try to increase the separation on final [approach] before ordering a go-around, said a senior FAA manager familiar with the incident. The FAA manager said the Warrenton controller exhibited really bad controller technique. Not only did he get them too close, he told the [Andrews controller] that they were farther apart than they were, he said. When the handoff occurred, the planes were 3.08 miles apart, radar shows, but the Warrenton controller told the Andrews tower that they were four miles apart. Before handing off, the Warrenton controller warned Obamas pilot of potential wake turbulence. In the Andrews tower, controllers had already identified a serious loss of separation but were reluctant to contact the Warrenton facility to point it out, officials said. The Andrews controllers ordered the S-turns as soon as they assumed responsibility, but the two planes still grew closer. Finally, fearing the cargo plane couldnt get off the runway in time for the Obama plane to land, they ordered the 737 to abort the landing attempt. In the grand scheme of things, events like this happen fairly frequently, said another federal official who works with the air traffic control system but is not authorized to speak publicly. Unfortunately, this one involves a presidential plane.

Report finds gaps in labs cybersecurity controls

san francisco Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory failed to set up adequate cybersecurity controls for classified information, including details about the nations nuclear stockpile, according to a federal report released Tuesday. Livermore is one of the federal governments top science labs and maintains several national security systems, including supercomputers that process sensitive and classified information about the safety and reliability of nuclear weapons along with homeland security matters. Rickey R. Hass, deputy inspector general for audits and inspections at the Energy Department, said in the report that outside contractors had made changes to one system meant to monitor nuclear explosions without first getting approval from the proper federal officials. That and other site-level problems have persisted in part because the government hasnt ensured that changes to its information systems are in line with potential risks, the departments internal watchdogs office said. Without improvements, the weaknesses identified may limit program and site-level officials ability to make informed riskbased decisions that support the protection of classified information and the systems on which it resides, the audit concluded. No classified information was compromised, said Damien LaVera, a spokesman for the Energy Departments National Nuclear Security Administration, which operates the labs.

Dividend payout hurts Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs took a hit to its first-quarter earnings after paying dividends to billionaire investor Warren Buffetts company, which invested $5 billion in the bank at the height of the 2008 financial crisis. The investment banks firstquarter profit dropped 72 percent, to $908 million, after it paid $1.64 billion in dividends to Berkshire Hathaway. Goldman Sachs said Tuesday that its revenue fell 7 percent, to $11.9 billion, on weakness in some of its core businesses, including stock and bond trading and advising clients. In 2010, many of our clients strategic and investment decisions were burdened by fears about the global economic outlook, Goldmans chief financial officer, David Viniar, told analysts in a conference call to discuss earnings. Goldmans revenues from trading fixed-income investments, currencies and commodities for clients fell 28 percent, while revenue from advising on financial transactions fell 23 percent. Revenue from underwriting debt and stock offerings grew 23 percent. Buffett, chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, helped shore up confidence in Goldman Sachs during the darkest period of the financial crisis by making a $5 billion investment in September 2008. (Buffett is a director of The Washington Post Co.) In return, Berkshire received preferred shares that carried annual dividends of 10 percent. While Goldman Sachs has posted ever-widening profits since the crisis, it received permission just last month from the Federal Reserve to repay the investment.

H OWARD S CHNEIDER

beijing What to do with

$3 trillion? Bail out the euro so Europeans can keep buying stuff? Lock up mineral rights around the world? Spend it on imports? Sock it away under a mattress or in U.S. Treasury notes and let the pile keep growing? In what amounted to an acknowledgment that some of Beijings core economic policies are causing trouble, Chinese central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan said this week that the country was, in effect, suffering from too much money. Chinas foreign reserve holdings hit $3.04 trillion in March after increasing 25 percent in the past year alone, a pace Zhou said was feeding inflation and becoming difficult to manage. Foreign-exchange reserves have exceeded the reasonable level that our country actually needs, Zhou said, and the continued buildup adds to the risk of inflation and makes it difficult for the country to manage its monetary policy. The reserve figure is one of the central barometers of Chinas economic relations with the rest of the world the excess of money flowing into the country for imports and investments. Despite years of talk about the need for more balance, reserves have gone in one direction: up. According to media accounts, Zhou stopped short of any recommended remedy. But the continued accumulation of reserves is closely linked with the countrys practice of keeping its exchange rate low and relatively stable against the dollar. Zhous comments reflect an intensifying dilemma over the trade-offs involved particularly the risk of inflation and the rising interest rates and other measures that the Peoples Bank of China is imposing to try to keep prices under control. China has reached a monetary policy stalemate, in which traditional banking measures have not curbed inflation but authorities are unwilling to let the currency appreciate as another way to address the prob-

lem, Glenn B. Maguire, chief Asia economist with the financial services firm Societe Generale, wrote in an analysis Tuesday. Zhou is considered a reformer on currency and other financial policies, but his is a minority voice. Chinas central bank is not independent but answers to a ruling State Council that juggles the sometimes conflicting priorities of the countrys exporters, state-owned companies, local governments and other factions. Zhou is not a council member. With China facing a pressing and politically sensitive rise in prices, there is debate about the forces involved: whether the country is being flooded by the dollars produced in Washington by the Federal Reserve to stimulate the U.S. economy or creating problems for itself. The currency policy boosts the fortunes of export companies by keeping prices lower than they otherwise would be. But it also helps maintain a large trade and investment surplus, plus a flow of money being bet that at some point the yuan will rise in value all components in the growth of Chinas reserves. Some here argue that the large stockpile makes little sense in a country with pressing development needs. With much of the money simply funneled into low-yielding U.S. Treasury securities, on the whole, we have failed to use these resources to improve living standards, said Yu Yongding, an economist at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and former adviser to the PBOCs monetary policy committee. As a developing country, we should not be exporting capital. In a recent study, the International Monetary Fund estimated China has accumulated perhaps twice or more the amount of foreign reserves needed for traditional purposes, such as buttressing the economy in a crisis. It has created a paradox: Despite the store of wealth (the next closest is Japans at $1.1 trillion; open Western nations such as the United States hold comparatively little), China remains deep in the ranks of the developing world, with per capita annual

REAL ESTATE

Home construction up, but pace is still off

Builders broke ground on more new homes last month, giving the weak housing market a slight boost at the start of the spring buying season. Housing construction rose 7.2 percent in March from February, to a seasonally adjusted 549,000 units, the Commerce Department said. Building permits, an indicator of future construction, rose 11.2 percent after hitting a five-decade low in February. Still, the building pace is far below the 1.2 million units a year that economists consider healthy. And Marchs improvement came after construction fell in February to its second-lowest level in records dating back more than a half-century. Another sign of the battered industry is the number of new homes finished and ready to sell: They dropped in March to a seasonally adjusted 509,000 units, the lowest level in records dating back to 1968. And the number of homes now under construction has fallen to a four-decade low.

income of $3,000 and extensive rural infrastructure needs that draw the help of such organizations as the World Bank. The money cant be easily spent inside the country without adding to inflation but could be used for imports or invested overseas, as some of it is through China Investment Corp., the nations sovereign wealth fund. A rising exchange rate would ease the pace of reserve accumulation a different way, by spreading spending power throughout the population. The situation is a headache for Zhou. To stabilize the value of the Chinese currency, the dollars coming into China must be drawn back out of the financial system and in a way that does not expand the local money supply more than authorities wish. The central bank does that by having Chinas major banks turn over foreign exchange in return

for interest-bearing central bank securities. Although that keeps the exchange rate steady, it means that capital in effect is locked up in the central bank, where it cannot be lent or put to use in the economy. Over the past week, the amount sterilized totaled more than $12 billion. Between controlling the exchange rate and the rising amounts banks are being required to set aside in the fight against inflation, perhaps a quarter or more of Chinas money supply is now frozen or inactive, Fan Gang, head of Chinas National Economic Research Institute and a former member of the central banks monetary policy committee, wrote in a recent essay. It advocated both a higher exchange rate and social, tax and other reforms that would raise Chinese household spending.

Housing starts remain at an extraordinarily depressed level, said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak. To put this in further perspective, a doubling of [new homes] from here would still put starts at the lowest level of any other recession.

Fed offers up two options for protecting lenders

Rule enacted last year leaves them vulnerable to liability
BY

D INA E L B OGHDADY

A sweeping financial measure enacted last year bars lenders from approving a mortgage without verifying that the borrower has a reasonable ability to repay it. Lenders that violate that rule leave themselves vulnerable to lawsuits and enforcement actions. Struggling homeowners could even use violations of this rule to fight foreclosure. But lawmakers left it up to regulators to decide how this measure should be applied in the real world and under which conditions lenders would be free from liability. On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve unveiled a proposal that offers two options under which lenders would be protected from court challenges. The agency will now solicit public comments on

which plan would work best. This is really the guts of the financial reform bill, said Michael Calhoun, president of the Center for Responsible Lending. Its about how do you make sure there are sustainable mortgages. As we found out, thats not only important for home buyers and homeowners, its equally important for the whole economy. The measure enacted last year requires lenders to verify a borrowers income, assets and other factors before making a loan a once common practice that fell by the wayside during the housing boom and ultimately led to the nations financial crisis. But lenders said that many of the factors they must verify are squishy, as one industry expert put it. For instance, self-employed workers who earned a steady income for years may suddenly suffer a huge loss in pay for reasons beyond their control. The industry said it should not be on the hook under all circumstances. The Fed provided two options under which lenders can be exempt from liability. The first op-

tion protects loans that dont have the risky features often associated with high rates of default. Those features include mortgage terms that exceed 30 years or fees that exceed 3 percent of the loan amount.

Lenders said many of the factors they must verify are squishy, as one expert put it.
Under the second option, lenders would have to meet more standards than they would under option one and would not be totally exempt from legal challenges. Many within the industry said the legal protections offered under option one would work best

for consumers as well as lenders. Without such protections, consumers will end up paying more for the mortgages they want, they said. The industrys natural reaction will be to act defensively if lenders are vulnerable to court challenges, said Glen Corso, managing director of the Community Mortgage Banking Project, a public policy group that represents independent mortgage bankers. It will mean less business for lenders and less credit availability and higher costs for borrowers. None of this is good for the housing market. The industry has long argued that market pressures have eliminated some of the loose lending practices targeted by the legislation. But lawmakers said they wanted to codify the rule so the standards are not tinkered with in the future. The Fed will accept public comment on its rule until July 22. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which will open its doors in July, will take over and finalize the proposal.

Treasury defends pace of financial reform

The Obama administration ramped up its defense Tuesday of a sweeping financial overhaul law, saying the pace of reform is appropriate, given the complexity of the changes. Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin said that critics, including Wall Street lobbyists and some lawmakers, who initially pushed the administration to act quickly in clarifying how the Dodd-Frank legislation would be put in place are now doing an about-face. Recently, some of the very same critics, those who previously demanded clarity as quickly as possible, are saying that were moving too quickly, Wolin said in a speech at the Pew Charitable Trusts. He went on to defend the role of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created by the Dodd-Frank Act. The bureau will not stifle consumer choice, as critics have suggested, nor will it interfere with the role of regulators, he said. Real choice is about having the information to make the right decisions, Wolin said. The bureaus job is to deter deceptive and abusive practices, promote clear disclosure and help consumers get the information they need. With that information, consumers will have real choice. Wolin also dismissed as unfounded the critics contention that the changes mandated by the measure are uncoordinated. While independent agencies have different views on complicated issues, working through differences is an important part of getting the substance right, he said.

Jobless rate drops in Md. and Va., is steady in District

BY

V . D ION H AYNES

The unemployment rate in March remained steady in the District and dropped in Maryland and Virginia, according to Labor Department data released Tuesday. The data show consistent job growth over time, but jobless rates are far from pre-recession levels. The D.C. unemployment rate remained at 9.5 percent in March for the second consecutive month, after having fallen from 9.6 percent in January. Marylands decreased to 6.9 percent from 7.1 percent; Virginias to 6.3 percent from 6.4 percent. Maryland and Virginia began to regularly see their jobless levels decline before the U.S. rate dropped, reflecting earlier signs of recovery, but now the national level is falling in tandem with the two states. The U.S. unemployment rate decreased to 8.8 percent from 8.9 percent in March. Analysts said they continue to

see positive signs in Maryland and Virginia of a declining jobless rate and growing labor force, evidence that more unemployed people are resuming their search for work and finding it. Although the District has experienced a similar trend during the past year, the citys progress on both fronts stalled in March. It was kind of a non-event for the District the unemployment rate didnt change and the size of the labor force didnt change, said Sara Kline, associate economist at Moodys Analytics, adding that the number of unemployed grew by 200. I wouldnt classify it as good or bad, just trucking along. The city saw net losses in education and health, down 1,300 jobs; financial services, down 300 jobs; and construction, down 200 jobs. Sectors that experienced a net gain in jobs included professional and business services, up 700; retail, up 200; government, up

100; and leisure and hospitality, up 100. Marylands labor force grew by 9,000, and the number of unemployed people dropped by 2,900. The state experienced net gains in leisure and hospitality, up 700; and manufacturing, up 300. But those gains were offset by numerous net losses: retail, down 2,400; construction, down 2,000; and education and health, down 1,000. State officials attributed the losses in part to rising gas prices. They also said the survey of employers may not be picking up job gains among some groups. The establishment survey excludes self-employed and sole proprietors, Tim Bibo, research analyst with the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, said in a conference call. People in that category wouldnt show up in the job survey. Virginias labor force grew by 8,500, and its unemployed population fell by 4,749.

The state experienced a net loss in leisure and hospitality, down 1,400 jobs; manufacturing, down 1,000; and construction, down 400. Sectors that saw net gains were education and health, up 5,700; government, up 2,000; and professional and business services, up 1,400. Unemployment rates in the three jurisdictions have fallen dramatically from a year ago the rates were 10.1 percent in the District, 7.6 percent in Maryland, and 7.1 percent in Virginia reflecting an uptick in hiring. Still, Kline asserts that even at this pace it will take a few years for the United States and the three jurisdictions to reach the unemployment levels of December 2007, before the effects of the recession kicked in. Unemployment rates then were 5 percent nationally, 5.5 percent in the District, 3.6 percent in Maryland, and 3.3 percent in Virginia.

Taylor Bean owner convicted in mortgage fraud scheme

BY

D ANA H EDGPETH

The owner of what was one of the nations largest privately held mortgage companies was convicted in federal court Tuesday of masterminding a nearly $3 billion mortgage fraud scheme. Lee Bentley Farkas, 58, of Ocala, Fla., the owner and chairman of Taylor, Bean & Whitaker, was found guilty of all 14 charges against him for his role in defrauding investors and banks. The jury deliberated for a day and a half before returning its verdict. Prosecutors said Farkas used the stolen money to augment a life of luxury. Farkas owned as many as 40 cars, including a vintage collection; a company jet and a plane he used to fly to a lake house in Maine; and an 8,000-squarefoot house in Florida and other houses along the East Coast. Farkas could face 20 to 30 years in prison for each count on the

bank, wire and securities fraud convictions. He stood with his two attorneys at his side and held his head down as the courtroom deputy read the charges and repeated guilty after each one. After the verdict was read, U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema said from the bench in Alexandria that she believed Farkas was not honest when he testified from the stand. The time has come for the defendant to recognize what hes done is very serious, she said, before two U.S. marshals escorted Farkas from the courtroom. His sentencing is scheduled for July 1. During the 10-day trial, prosecutors called nearly two dozen witnesses six of whom were co-conspirators who pleaded guilty to some charges to testify. In his closing argument Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Connolly said that Farkas

was the leader of the conspiracy and that his fraud scheme was one of staggering proportions and boldness. The defendant ran one of the longest, largest fraud schemes, Connolly said. He lived the high life. A jet, a seaplane, houses up and down the East Coast. . . . He invented fake assets. Prosecutors said the scheme eventually led to the demise of Taylor, Bean & Whitaker and Colonial Bank in Alabama, one of the nations largest regional banks. The government said that from 2002 to 2009, Farkas and his coconspirators used Taylor Bean as a middleman between lenders and investors. The firm borrowed from Colonial Bank to buy Federal Housing Administration-insured loans. Taylor Bean would pool the loans into securities and sell them to investors. Ginnie Mae would then guarantee those securities. But when Taylor Bean began

having cash flow problems, the government said, Farkas and coconspirators covered the shortfalls with money from Colonial Bank. They misappropriated billions of dollars to cover Taylor Beans operating losses, authorities said. Farkass attorneys Bruce Rogow of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and William B. Cummings of Alexandria said their client didnt believe he was doing anything wrong. Some of his co-conspirators also didnt believe that what they were doing was wrong and thought that the company had collateral to back the loans it was making, Rogow told the jury in his closing argument. The case against Farkas is one of the largest to emerge from the crisis that brought the nations financial system to the brink of collapse.

President Obama will woo bigmoney donors in Los Angeles and the Bay Area over the next two days in a trip that will be the first test of whether he can rekindle the embrace from the entertainment and high-tech industries that helped him win in 2008. Three years after a campaign that featured actors fanning out across the country to stump for Obama, and employees from Google and other high-tech companies joining his team, there have been some signs that fervor for Obama in Hollywood and Silicon Valley has ebbed. Political strategists say his base of supporters is more sober, perhaps fatigued by recent highprofile state elections. Some Hollywood liberals have also been disappointed by the presidents handling of issues such as samesex marriage. Obama is almost certain to win in Democratic-leaning California in 2012 and raise millions of dollars among its highly liberal campaign donors. But its not clear whether he can inspire the same kind of enthusiasm that led to a group of entertainers famously creating a Yes We Can video that was watched by millions. 2008 was a unique moment in time, by definition, thats not going to repeat itself, said Chris Lehane, a Bay Area-based political strategist who was a top adviser for Al Gores 2000 presidential campaign. But California is still Obama country. He always has had a big base in the money community out there. Obamas trip is part of the fundraising kickoff for his 2012 campaign, which included a group of events in Chicago last week and will continue to New York City next Wednesday. His packed, star-studded two days on the West Coast include six fundraisers and two town halls, including one Wednesday at the Palo Alto headquarters of Facebook. On Wednesday evening, he will attend a small dinner hosted by Salesforce.com chief executive Marc Benioff in San Franciscos regal Pacific Heights neighborhood that will require each guest to donate $35,800 to Obamas reelection campaign. The next morning, Obama will attend another expensive fundraiser, fly to Reno, Nev., for a campaign-style speech in that swing state before going to Los Angeles for three fundraisers, including one at Sony Pictures Studios featuring actor Jamie Foxx. Also on his schedule is a dinner at the Brentwood restaurant Tavern, which film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg and recording executive Berry Gordy are expected to attend, according to the Hollywood newspaper Variety. In total, Obama is likely to raise more than $4 million on his trip, just a tiny fraction of the millions he would need to match the $750 million he raised in 2008. For fundraising, California may be more critical for Obama than in 2008. His campaign may raise less money among New Yorks financial community be-

cause some on Wall Street remain angry over his support of a financial regulatory reform bill as well as his rhetoric, which at times has blamed bankers for the financial crisis. In 2008, out of the total given by people working in the financial-services sector, 48 percent went to Democrats and 52 percent to Republicans, which is fairly typical in recent elections. In last years midterm elections, the money swung heavily to the Republicans 39 percent to Democrats and 60 percent to the GOP. Employees of high-tech companies also shifted their giving away from the Democrats. In 2008, 70 percent of this money went to the party but fell to 55 percent last fall, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. While annoyance with Obama has been public and frequent on Wall Street, it is less clear what is

2008 was a unique moment in time, by definition, thats not going to repeat itself.

behind the shift among high-tech executives and employees. Some of the 2010 swing may be because of the high-profile campaigns of tech luminaries Meg Whitman, former chief executive of eBay, and Carly Fiorina, former head of Hewlett-Packard, both of whom ran unsuccessfully as Republicans in California races. In Hollywood, some of the 2008 campaign fire has been tempered by the realities of governing, analysts say. DreamWorks founder David Geffen, who was an ardent fundraiser for Obama in 2008, recently joined a group of celebrities in releasing a public letter urging Obama to support same-sex marriage, a cause the president is highly unlikely to adopt. Matt Damon, an enthusiastic Obama backer in 2008, said in recent interviews that the president has misinterpreted his mandate, and he criticized Obama for centrist policies that, in the actors view, are too favorable to Wall Street. Yet Obamas technology and anti-piracy policies have been well-received by Silicon Valley and Hollywood. The president appointed a White House adviser to help stop piracy of movies and music on the Internet, an issue that is critical to Hollywood. The nations first chief technology officer has advised the president on friendly policies on Internet access, and Obama has promised to blanket the country with wireless connections in five years, which would be a boon to technology firms.

Talented twins plan to be a package deal

sisters from A1 tions and offer themselves as a package deal for basketball. They say it has eased some of the strain of the recruiting process. Its made it easier, Caroline said, because it weeds out the ones that arent gonna be there. The Coyers pact is also forcing college coaches, who have a limited number of scholarships for incoming freshmen and often have specific team needs, into some creative thinking about their 2012 recruiting classes. Typically, a school has three to four scholarships available each year, and devoting two slots to a pair of guards with differing skill sets doubles the risk. The Coyers have been sought by colleges since they were middle-schoolers, piling up mail from schools all over the country asking them to play either basketball or soccer. But at least six schools dropped out of the running after they announced their intent to play only basketball as a package deal. More than a dozen including Florida State, Texas Christian and Villanova have remained interested. Oakton Coach Fred Priester, who has been coaching in Northern Virginia for three decades, feels its a gamble with a certain payoff. I guarantee you before the third week of practice, they will be trying to figure out ways to get [Katherine] on the floor over other kids that [they] thought were better than her, said Priester, whose teams are 79-5 since the Coyers arrived at the Vienna school. Caroline, an All-Met basketball player and the Northern Regions player of the year this past season, is viewed by recruiters as the better basketball player and could be sacrificing an offer from a stronger program to ensure she plays with Katherine. I understand coaches not being able to see what I do because [Caroline] is more obviously a good player than I am, Katherine said. And I understand that and I dont want to hold her back from doing whatever she wants to do. . . . The fact that she is willing to push aside other schools to me says a lot about who she is. While offense flows out of Caroline, it has had to be coaxed over the years out of Katherine. Though her offense has improved she averaged a career-high 10.4 points this winter Katherines game is more subtle, as Priester put it. Caroline insists that she has no regrets in ignoring the schools that have offered scholarships to only her. A college that doesnt want her sister isnt Carolines ideal school anyway. If we were to go anywhere, any coach would realize that Katherine brings just as much to the program, if not more, than what I do, Caroline said. Thats why when coaches are like, We dont really see it, or, We really cant take both of you, some people would be hurt by it. But for me its just like, All right, thats one letter down. The Coyers dilemma isnt unprecedented. Locally, Dunbar fraternal twins Vance and Vernard Roberts insisted on playing football together. They were recruited as such defensive back and running back, respectively and committed to West Virginia last July. And the commitment West Virginia showed to Vernard after he was ruled ineligible for his senior football season proved important to both brothers, especially Vance. That showed me that they really wanted us and everything they were saying was true, Vance said. The Coyers are seeking a similar commitment. Id rather play at a school with

f its Passover, it must be Hong Kong. If its Easter, it must be Beijing. If its spring break, it must be a week-long jaunt by a large Senate delegation to China, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). Ten senators, coming off a tough legislative session, plus spouses, staffers and military escorts, landed in the Middle Kingdom on Monday to begin a fine tour to Hong Kong, Chengdu, Xian and Beijing. The Senate news release calls it an informational trip throughout China, which Loop Fans know is a tip-off that this is going to be an excellent time. There will be site visits of American investments and clean energy projects, and the senators are going to discuss the global economy, security, trade, currency and foreign policy. Yes, indeed. There will be no time for shopping in Hong Kong and hardly any time to tour the giant pandas native habitat in Chengdu or see the ginormous Buddha at Leshan. Not a minute for the Terra Cotta Warriors in lovely Xian, a walled city and the gateway to the Silk Road. Theyll be so rushed gathering facts, they wont have a chance to see the wonderful mausoleum of the Western Han emperor Liu Qi and his wife, a site out by the Xian airport that in some ways is more interesting than the famed warriors. But theyve got to eat, so a stop at that dumpling restaurant just outside the wall is a must. You can tell whats inside the dumplings because theyre shaped like pigs, cows, ducks, etc. And forget the Great Wall. The group is called a senior Senate delegation because, in addition to Reid, second-ranking Democrat Dick Durbin (Ill.) and other major players are on board: Democrats Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Frank Lautenberg (N.J.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.) and Michael

We cant say because, when we tried to get more details on the

Over the years this arrant foolishness has become a major dodge to hide what lawmakers are going to be doing no matter where they travel abroad. (More details are released after the trips, but usually not complete itineraries.) China, after all, is generally about as dangerous as McLean.

Federal agencies rated on greening efforts

BY

E D O ' K EEFE

Using a scoring system modeled on a traffic light, the Obama administration on Tuesday unveiled a new way to track how the governments largest agencies and departments are scaling back their use of electricity, water and fuel. In October 2009, President Obama ordered federal agencies to hit the gas on plans to cut the governments greenhouse gas emissions by 28 percent by 2020. Hes also ordering agencies to purchase more alternative-fuel vehicles and urging federal employees to make wider use of public transportation and bicycles in hopes of cutting the governments indirect carbon footprint. The White House thinks its greening efforts, if undertaken properly, could cut government energy costs by $11 billion. But score cards released Tuesday suggest that some of the largest departments are hitting speed bumps. Although the General Services Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Treasury Department scored green lights in all seven categories assessed, the Defense, Labor and Transportation departments earned several red lights. The score cards assess whether agencies submitted new sustainability plans on time and reduced their energy intensity, or energy usage per square foot. Other criteria include whether an agency has boosted its use of alternative energy sources, whether it has cut its use of water and fuel, and whether at least 5 percent of an agencys largest buildings are on track to meet new green building standards by 2015. Clearly almost every agency has a little bit of work to do in some areas, said Nancy Sutley,

chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Generally, were pretty pleased at how the agencies have done, both overall and individually. Sutley stressed that this years results are meant as a starting point, with the hope that agencies will improve their scores in the coming years. Here is how some of the agencies performed:

Defense Department: It earned three red lights because it hasnt cut its energy-intensity levels or fuel consumption enough and because just a fraction of its buildings meet the green building standards.  Labor Department: It earned three red lights for failing to boost renewable-energy levels, for not cutting its water usage enough and because just .11 percent of its buildings meet the green building standards. Agencies must submit revised sustainability plans by July. Full score cards may be reviewed at www.WhiteHouse.gov/ CEQ.

Souvenirs that fit our values?
As someone whose job it has been for a decade to buy not only American-made goods but also U.S. union-made products, I was surprised to read the Smithsonians Peters Gibbons quoted as saying that he cant find dog tags and magnets made in the United States [A souvenir shift at the Smithsonian, news story, April 17]. It may be more difficult to find American manufacturers, but it is not impossible, and with a little work, Mr. Gibbons will find that he can even get competitive bids on U.S., union-made goods. I have long been appalled that Americans buy so many products made outside the country, much to the detriment of our workers who have seen their jobs shipped overseas, hence our high unemployment rate. The new Smithsonian policy to buy American should be applauded. Carol L. Burnett, Washington The writer is an assistant director of public affairs at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.  The Smithsonians Price of Freedom gift shop couldnt be more aptly named. Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.) was outraged at finding (surprise!) that nobody in America makes cheap tourist trinkets, so in typical misguided senatorial fashion, he used his clout to rid the gift shop shelves of foreign-made souvenirs, all in the name of giving people the opportunity to purchase items made in America. Congratulations, senator. Your unwelcome and inappropriate interference in gift shop management will do nothing but raise prices, reduce sales and lower profits. And who did Mr. Sanders hurt in the process? The Chinese? No, the American businessman who designs the souvenirs but cant get them made in this country at a price that visitors to the Smithsonian are willing to pay. Probably the single most beloved symbol of America, second only to the flag, is the Statue of Liberty. If Mr. Sanders had been in office when France gave it to us, would he have sent it back? Jack Hingel, Fairfax Station  It saddens me every summer when we visit our national parks to see all the mugs, hats, T-shirts and such made everywhere but here. I think tourists will be glad to pay more when they see the Made in the USA sticker and realize it represents jobs all over this country instead of everywhere else in the world. I hope Sen. Bernard Sanderss Buy American initiative ripples across the nation. Mary Brent Wehrli, Palm Springs, Calif.

S&Ps alarm
A credit agencys redundant but valuable warning on federal debt

TANDARD & POORS moved markets on Tuesday by announcing it might have to downgrade the U.S. governments AAA bond rating for the first time in history, because of the dim prospects for serious federal debt reduction. The credit rating agencys threat, though couched as a one in three chance that the U.S. debt rating might drop below AAA in two years, nevertheless panicked many an investor accustomed to believing that Treasuries are one of the last safe havens in an uncertain world. A dip in the bond rating could indeed erode the value of billions of dollars worth of savings tucked into T-bills and raise the cost of future federal borrowing. Yet no sooner had the markets tumbled than a dismissive counter-conventional wisdom emerged in the political and financial blogosphere. Tell us something we dont already know, S&P, the skeptics mused. Everyone from the International Monetary Fund to your Aunt Minnie is well aware that the United States is running a huge deficit, which its political class seems unable to control. Why

should anyone buy or sell on the opinion of a bunch of bond-raters who spectacularly failed to anticipate the subprime meltdown, anyway? Somewhat more politely, White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee warned against giving Standard & Poors view too much weight. To which our answer is: Yes, but. Yes, no one needed S&P to point out that the United States has a big, unsolved fiscal problem. But its opinion does count for more than Aunt Minnies, if only because federal securities regulations require money market mutual funds to invest in securities such as Treasuries that are rated highly by credit agencies. Other real-world consequences could include, at the margin, slightly more concern in Chinas central bank and other foreign precincts about the hundreds of billions of dollars they hold, and less leeway for the Federal Reserve to claim that, so far, its bond-buying programs have had no impact on U.S. credit. And since when is a change in perceptions a non-event for the markets? Like it or not, the bond

markets tolerance for ever-rising federal debt is as much a matter of market psychology as anything else. S&Ps announcement is bad news for the markets animal spirits, and that means its bad news, period. Given the debt-reduction performance of the president and Congress so far, we say: Let a thousand firebells ring. Even more pressing than S&Ps warnings, of course, is the pending need to raise the federal debt limit. While a bipartisan Gang of Six in the Senate has been working on a long-term deficit-reduction plan that could be attached to a debt limit increase, some Democrats in both the House and Senate have been clamoring for a clean debt ceiling bill, with no linkages. This is unrealistic as a political matter you couldnt get enough Republican votes in the House to increase the debt limit without some spending cuts attached and shortsighted as a policy matter. In fact the looming debt limit votes offers an opportunity to accomplish some real deficit reduction. The S&P report is yet another reason to hope that Congress and the White House make good use of that chance.

Mr. Oranges hypocrisy

The D.C. Council candidate puts Post editorials to misleading use.

TOM TOLES

D.

C. COUNCIL hopeful Vincent Orange wouldnt be the first politician running for something who tries to have it both ways. One would be hard-pressed, though, to find a more cynical display of political duality than Mr. Oranges use of our words to promote his Democratic candidacy for an at-large seat on the council while simultaneously joining in a protest denouncing The Post. If Mr. Orange cant seem to make up his mind about whether we should be believed or boycotted, what does that suggest about his ability to withstand pressure in governing the city? Mr. Orange participated in last weeks demonstration by the Washington Teachers Union outside The Posts offices on 15th Street NW. The union is urging a boycott of The Post because of unhappiness over its coverage of education in the District; the editorial board was singled out for criticism for its support of reforms instituted by Michelle A. Rhee when she was D.C. schools chancellor. Clearly, Mr. Orange is entitled to his opinion and we who are in the opinion business dont begrudge anyone the right to express his or her views. Whats troubling is the hypocrisy in Mr. Oranges selective use of our editorials to advance his candidacy and the questions it raises about Mr. Oranges stances on the important issues of school reform. How can he denounce the Post for the very principles that shaped the editorials appropriated in his campaign literature? Heres Mr. Oranges various explanations to us: Hes a bridge who brings people together; he wanted to stand with the teachers; his wife is a member of the union and hes been endorsed by the WTU. So what happens when the union, which has made the elimination of a rigorous teacher evaluation system a top

FAA rule change is grounded in science

The FAA is now taking corrective action to fix the real air traffic controller sleep problem the work schedule [FAA to alter minimum time off for controllers, news story, April 18]. More than 20 years of research into shift work and rotating work schedules tells us that working a backward rotation (day to night to evening) or a compressed schedule (40 hours in fewer than five days) causes a sleep debt that impairs physical and mental functioning. These adverse work schedules deny workers the opportunity to sleep, which is a biological necessity. Occupational sleep deprivation is a source of errors, accidents and injuries on the job and commute. As an occupational sleep scientist, I view these events as systemwide preventable hazards rather than the result of a few bad apples. Public safety demands that work schedules be changed. Jeanne M. Geiger-Brown, Baltimore The writer is co-director of the Work and Health Research Center.

priority, comes to him for his support in undoing the reforms? Mr. Orange said he has made no promises but would work to create consensus with the primary interests of children in mind. We have contrary to the impression fostered by some of Mr. Oranges literature endorsed D.C. State Board of Education member Patrick Mara in the April 26 special election. Mr. Mara, a Republican, brings a refreshing candor to the

issues facing the District. No matter what part of town he is in or what audience he is addressing, Mr. Mara is consistent about what he believes and what he would do. He says he wont increase taxes, though that angers some voters worried about cuts to social programs; he tells teachers he thinks it is fair to use student test scores as a factor in evaluations. No one can have it both ways, and Mr. Mara is honest enough not to try.

After loved ones are gone . . .

Sharon Donahue [letters, April 18] is correct in asserting that a deceased person does not contemplate the state of his or her headstone. But many family members do. Regardless of your religious leanings, you can both love and respect loved ones who are gone and still embrace those remaining. Beverly M. Massey, Bethesda

His fiercely unorthodox do it now leadership served Maryland well.

Dont bet against the Chinese tiger

Jack Goldstone argued that between 2010 and 2030, Chinas lower growth rate will make it more like a rabbit than a tiger [Whos afraid of the Chinese tiger?, op-ed, April 15]. He presented three principal reasons to support this: a contraction of the Chinese labor force as the population ages, a slowdown in the countrys high rate of urbanization and a decline in merchandise exports. Together these are expected to reduce the growth of the Chinese economy to a mere 5 percent a year, which would put off the point at which the Chinese economy draws even with the United States to 2050. But Mr. Goldstone omitted some possible developments that could counter these declining trends. For one thing, the rise of Chinas domestic consumption is likely to offset the decline in its merchandise exports. Another is that technological advancement resulting from the large number of doctoral degree holders in scientific fields even with the Chinese move to limit the growth of doctoral programs that Mr. Goldstone cited could raise productivity and offset the impact of a decline in the labor force and a rise in wage rates. Also, the growth of the military could make China more assertive as it absorbs the surplus male population resulting from its one child policy. When these things are taken into account, a larger Chinese economy, even at a 5 percent rate of growth, will be much more like a tiger than a rabbit. Ransford W. Palmer, Washington

URING MORE than 50 years of total immersion in the politics of his beloved Baltimore and the state of Maryland, William Donald Schaefer was anything but polished, packaged or predictable. His total immersion stewardship which dramatically rejuvenated both city and state was powered by the spontaneous combustion of his temperament and deep compassion for those in need of help. Mr. Schaefer, who died Monday in Catonsville, Md., at 89, defied decorum and political correctness but far more often than not, got his way. As mayor and governor, he charmed, infuriated and assisted Marylanders in extraordinary ways. When Mr. Schaefer took office as mayor in 1971, downtown Baltimore was a tired, riotripped area of dying industrial sites. Combining showbiz hoopla with development savvy, he drummed up money and ideas to transform the

citys grim harbor area into a bustling tourist attraction. In 1981, to promote the completion of the National Aquarium, Mr. Schaefer won national attention with his most famous photo op. In a red and yellow-striped Victorian bathing suit and sporting a straw boater hat, the mayor jumped into the seal pool, clutching a rubber ducky. His wacky antics clown suits, uniforms and other madcap sartorial silliness perked up local pride and tourist trade. As governor, Mr. Schaefer carried on with Do it now!, Reach the Beach! and other pep-talk campaigns to spur transportation and housing improvements and the crabs-and-Natty-Bo atmosphere at the nationally acclaimed Oriole Park at Camden Yards. As mayor, and more so when he became governor and state comptroller two jobs that never replaced his fondness for running the city Mr. Schaefers often ornery, short-fuse nature diminished him in the eyes of constituents he

insulted. He would fire off rude retorts to letter-writers and, behind the times, make racist, sexist and other insensitive comments that contributed to his defeat as comptroller in the 2006 Democratic primary. Still, longtime loyal staffers and others who knew Mr. Schaefer well saw a softie beyond the gruff demeanor, a man who would be moved to tears while visiting neighbors and the needy, reminiscing about his days as mayor or recalling his longtime close relationship with Hilda Mae Snoops. Yesterday, in addition to the expected tributes by government figures and others who worked with Mr. Schaefer, hundreds of personal stories from people throughout Maryland, citing his kindnesses to them, were filling online comment sites. That was the sendoff that Don Schaefer, more than most Maryland governors, was apt to inspire and one that he would have reveled in.

A U.N. role in aiding the Israeli-Palestinian peace process

Expertise on the Israel-Palestinian conflict is often proven by listing reasons that ideas cannot work. Aaron David Miller [A Palestinian plan thats doomed to fail, op-ed, April 15] is an expert who is wrong about the Palestinian Authoritys plan to appeal to the United Nations. We have long told Palestinians that their only escape from military occupation was negotiation. For 20 years, lopsided negotiations between a rapacious state and an enfeebled and occupied people have proven futile. We devalued the Palestinians one weak tool, their claim for justice, by failing to insist on the Geneva Conventions and U.N. resolutions. Negotiations would then fail unless the United States used its leverage, or Israels leaders saw the compelling need for comprehensive settlement. After thenPrime Minister Yitzhak Rabins assassination in 1995, there was a faint hope with Ehud Olmert. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahus government, however, has a clear policy of seize, build and hold, rather than negotiating. President Obamas veto of a U.N. resolution condemning continued expansion of Israeli settlements was a dramatic refusal to support conditions favoring an agreement. Palestine is not ready for sovereignty while it is governed by warring factions, one of which resists occupation by terrorist means. But we should be seeking ways to facilitate Palestinian reconciliation, not preventing it, as we have. A U.N. resolution conditioning recognition on demonstrating peaceful unity could catalyze that process. Experts such as Mr. Miller seem to never think it is time to insist on the steps needed to end a 44-year military occupation. He is wrong it is past time. Michael Thomas, Washington

Success is essential in Libya

I believe most Americans share the sentiments of the April 17 editorial The Libya stalemate. I felt proud when the United States, after weeks of frustrating hesitancy, began to take an active role in Libya. I even agreed when we decided that NATO should do the heavy lifting. But its now clear were headed for a stalemate unless the American forces the editorial described are brought to bear. A negative or inconclusive outcome in Libya could have devastating long-term consequences for the entire region and for the prestige and standing of the United States. Handwringing at this critical juncture is unacceptable. Theres too much at stake. Roy Adams, Upper Marlboro

Storm warning T
hank you, Standard & Poors. The rating agencys warning about the possibility it may downgrade the credit rating of the United States is a welcome wake-up call. Another one. A few weeks back, Pimco, the worlds biggest bond fund, said it was eliminating its holdings of U.S. government debt. Then the International Monetary Fund lectured the United States in a tone that sounded more suited to a teetering Third World country than the funds largest shareholder. A credible strategy to stabilize the U.S. national debt is urgently needed, the IMF warned. Now comes Standard & Poors to lower its assessment of U.S. Treasury securities from stable to negative meaning at least a one-in-three chance the U.S. debt rating could be lowered within two years. It cited a material risk that there could be no agreement on how to deal with medium- and long-term budget issues by 2013. If nothing happens by then, this would in our view render the U.S. fiscal profile meaningfully weaker than that of peer AAA sovereigns, S&P said. In other words, our greatest intangible asset the fact that the United States is viewed as the worlds safest investment could evaporate. Pffft. Interest rates would rise. The economy would tank. The higher cost of servicing the debt and the accompanying collapse of tax revenue would make it that much harder to escape this decidedly unvirtuous circle. Truth is, you dont have to be in the ratings business to see how difficult it will be for the United States to avoid this fate. The dysfunctionality of the political system is evident to any casual newspaper reader. In fact, you might wonder why anyone ought to listen to one of the very culprits that helped produce the current economic mess and whether S&P is engaged in a bit of corporate butt-covering. As it happens, the S&P assessment arrived on the heels of a congressional report finding that inflated, and then suddenly downgraded, ratings of mortgage-backed securities by S&P and Moodys triggered the financial crisis. An S&P employee quoted by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations likened the deteriorating mortgage market to watching a hurricane . . . moving up the coast slowly toward us. That was in March 2007, even as the agency continued to

amuel Johnson famously observed that the prospect of hanging concentrates the mind. The same could be said about Americas current budget crisis: It should force some hard decisions about foreign policy priorities so that we spend more to support the democratic revolution in Egypt and less to seek a military solution in Afghanistan. Today, the United States is allocating about $110 billion annually for the Afghan war, about $3.2 billion for military and economic aid to Pakistan, and about $150 million in special assistance to help Egypts democratic revolution. In terms of U.S. national interests, those spending levels dont make sense. The pyramid is upside down. President Obama should seize this budget-crisis moment of to change national security spending for the next fiscal year. The rationale for the shower of cash in Afghanistan is to prevent future attacks by al-Qaeda. But, frankly, a successful, democratic Egypt will be a more potent counter to the spread of Islamic terrorism than a stable Afghanistan. And a prosperous, democratic Pakistan would be the best safeguard of all. This is not an argument for pulling the plug in Afghanistan, especially at the start of this years fighting season. The United States should stick to its broad timetable for transferring responsibility to the Afghans in 2014. But we should spend less, going forward, as we move along the exit ramp. This will mean a smaller military footprint, more use of paramilitary forces and more emphasis on diplomacy. The time is right for this pivot. Recent weeks have brought new outreach to the Taliban. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Feb. 18 announced a diplomatic surge and subtly shifted what had been preconditions for Afghan peace talks so that they were instead necessary outcomes. And she hired Marc Grossman, a veteran diplomat who strongly favors negotiation with the Taliban, as her new Afghanistan representative. The quiet, low-key Grossman may have better luck facilitating this process than did his highvoltage predecessor, the late Richard Holbrooke. Theres new momentum from Afghanistan and Pakistan as well. Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani visited Kabul last weekend to meet with President Hamid Karzai. They upgraded plans for a joint peace commission that, crucially, will include Gen. Ashfaq Kayani and Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the chiefs of Pakistans army and intelligence agency, respectively, who accompanied Gillani to Kabul. The message is that Pakistan wants to help broker a peace deal, now. Another push for the Af-Pak peace train is coming from Britain, which also wants a prompt start for negotiations. The British are working several possible contacts with the Taliban and are circulating a plan that they are calling, in classic Anglo-speak, a nonpaper. The awkward question, of course, is whether the Taliban are ready to play. Some intermediaries have been saying yes, but Grossman wants more clarity about whos on the other side. The U.S. wants a Taliban representative who can make decisions, who is connected with Mohammad Omar, the Taliban leader, and who will work toward a settlement that would include Americas three outcomes of renouncing al-Qaeda, halting violence and respecting the Afghan constitution. Grossman hasnt yet found such a negotiating partner, but hes looking with British, Afghan and Pakistani help. Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. military commander in Kabul, favors negotiations in principle, but wants more time to squeeze the Taliban for leverage. Petraeus has supported the recent negotiating feelers. In the meantime, hes hoping to disarm enough low-level Taliban fighters that Omar will have trouble fielding a robust insurgency. Petraeus surely wont win a military victory before he is expected to hand off command this fall, but its intriguing to ponder how he might oversee the coming phase, which may lean more on paramilitary forces, if he should become the next CIA director. The CIA will also remain the key point of contact with Pakistan, which is the decisive battlefield for combating alQaeda. Which brings me back to support for Egypts democratic revolution. Simply put, there is no greater priority for U.S. counterterrorism policy than helping the Tahrir Square revolutionaries build a strong new country that can lead the rest of the Arab and Islamic world toward a better, saner future. The Egyptians are going to need help, big-time, to repair their damaged economy and their demoralized police. America needs to put its money where its interests are. Thats the unifying link between the Arab Spring and Af-Pak: The promise of the former must lead us to change our spending mix for the latter, and the time is now.

Roy Moore speaks at an anti-gay-marriage rally in Des Moines as supporters of samesex marriage protest in the background.

DANA MILBANK

Thou shalt be a contender

From two-time loser in Alabama to GOP hopeful in Iowa

here are those who say we already have too many Republicans running for president. But a few believe we need Moore. Roy Moore, you may recall, is the Ten Commandments judge who was removed at chief justice of Alabama in 2003 for refusing to remove his stone pillars from the courthouse. He subsequently lost two races to be governor of Alabama, the last time coming in fourth place in the Republican primary with only 19 percent of the vote. Usually, a multiple loser would move on to practice law, or shuffleboard. But in the upwardly failing state of our politics, Moore believes his multiple defeats qualify him to be president a ruling the Ten Commandments judge announced, appropriately enough, on the eve of Passover. I am forming an exploratory committee for the office of president of the United States, he declared Monday on WHO, an AM radio station in Des Moines. The radio host was not expecting this. You just declared that you want to be president? he asked. I just declared that Im going to form an exploratory committee to investigate that proposition, yes, the fallen judge said. Is this an announcement you just made here? the interviewer asked, still puzzled. Its the first time Ive made it, yes, the candidate answered. Eh, um, okay, the host said. Its hard to imagine that somebody who fell short of 20 percent of the vote in a gubernatorial primary in Alabama could win in a nationwide general election. But the standard of viability is much lower in this cycles Republican presidential primary field. The field is so fractured that there is little distance between the joke candidates and the supposed front-runners. In a new Washington Post/ABC News poll, the top choice, Mitt Romney, got only 16 percent when Republican-leaning adults were asked to name their candidates. Donald Trump got 8 percent, Mike Huckabee 6 percent and Sarah Palin 5 percent. All the rest including Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Mitch Daniels, Chris Christie, Haley Barbour, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman ranged from 2 percent to asterisks. In other signs of disillusionment with the 2012 field, the none of them option scored 12 points, and 33 percent had no opinion higher than 17 months ago even though the

election is now much closer. Only 5 percent pronounced themselves very satisfied with the offerings. But its good news for the also-rans. If Pawlenty, a reputed front-runner, earned one percentage point, whos to dismiss Moore as frivolous? The Republicans gaggle of gadflies is the logical consequence of the narrowing of the primary electorate, now dominated more than ever by religious conservatives including about 60 percent of caucus voters in all-important Iowa. More viable candidates Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Mitch Daniels have opted not to demean themselves by engaging these voters in an endless discussion of gays, abortion and, sometimes, Barack Obamas birth certificate. Trump, now basing his candidacy on the birther issue, has been particularly transparent in hitting the social conservatives buttons. A decade ago he favored abortion rights, gay rights, universal health care and a huge new tax on the wealthy. He spoke of the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party. The Republicans, especially those in Congress, are captives of their right wing, he wrote, explaining why he quit the GOP. If a chunk of Republican primary voters can fall for such a phony, surely a few of them could find room in their hearts for Moore, whose conservative credentials are quite literally set in stone. And this year, a few percentage points put you in the middle of the pack. Moore left no doubt about the quality of campaign he would wage. On his new exploratory committee Web site, roymoore2012.com, he has posted, under qualifications, a copy of his birth certificate demonstrating him to be an authentic product of Gadsden, Ala., the son of a butcher and a housewife who lived in a public housing project. He expanded on his platform in the Iowa radio interview. A moral, economic and constitutional crisis. . . . Family is being destroyed. . . . An attack on marriage. . . . Open homosexuality in the military. Moore wasnt even convinced that we have to have taxes at all. His message isnt for everybody. When he addressed a Tea Party audience in a high school gymnasium in Ohio over the weekend, only a third of the seats were filled, the Mansfield News Journal reported. But in this years Republican presidential field, a small following is all you need to be a contender.

issue AAA ratings for mortgagebacked securities, judging them as safe, ha ha, as government bonds. The hurricane analogy applies equally well to the U.S. fiscal picture. The storm is gathering, although no one knows whether it will hit suddenly, with Category 5 force, or whether there will be time for an orderly evacuation once the first drops start to fall. Which is why Im thankful to S&P. The more shake-em-up warnings that could prod the political system into action, the better. From the Obama administrations point of view, you dont want the financial markets overreacting to the news and therefore making economic matters worse hence Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithners round of interviews saying that S&P was overly gloomy about the prospects for political agreement. At the same time, as long as the markets remain reasonably calm, as appears to be the case, the administration is happy to have the political classes riled up. Problem is, the administration has different messages for the two audiences but only a single microphone. In fact, Geithners determined optimism notwithstanding, S&Ps assessment was not much different from what I hear in private from administration officials. As S&P noted, although the president and congressional Republicans agree on the need for debt reduction and are generally in the same numerical neighborhood, they are miles apart on how to achieve this. Therefore, S&P said, We believe there is a significant risk that congressional negotiations could result in no agreement on a medium-term fiscal strategy until after the fall 2012 congressional and presidential elections. In such a case, the first budget that could include serious fiscal measures would be for the 2014 fiscal year, the report concluded, and we believe a delay beyond that time is possible. It tends to take a looming crisis for politicians to take unpleasant and politically risky steps. The challenge of dealing with the debt is that no one knows whether there will be enough time between the moment politicians are ready to act and the point at which the situation unravels. The potential contribution of the Standard & Poors warning is that observing this phenomenon creates the potential to change it.

Where the money is I

f you assume that the United States of America needs to fund its government at all though a number of Grover-Norquist-addled Republicans apparently dont may I gently suggest that were looking for the bucks in all the wrong places. Not that Democrats are wrong to want to close income-tax loopholes for corporations and the rich. Given the stunning levels of inequality that increasingly misshape our economy, raising income taxes on the wealthiest among us is essential if we wish to preserve the national defense, schools and secure retirements. Essential, but not enough. Taxing the income from Americans labor doesnt yield what it once did. We need to raise the taxes on Americans investments, too. From 1959 through 2007, the share of Americans personal income that came from wages and salaries declined from 68 percent to 57.6 percent, according to the Economic Policy Institutes newly released The State of Working America. Meanwhile, the share from dividends rose from 3.3 percent to 7.1 percent and the amount from interest from 5.8 percent to 11.3 percent. The share of income from realized capital gains rose during those years from 1.6 percent to 8.2 percent. Yet not all types of investment income rose during that time. The share of income from rents declined from 4.2 percent to 1.3 percent, and proprietors income that accruing to owners of farms and small businesses declined from 13.2 percent to 9.8 percent. The big money, in other words, was in big investments, and it went overwhelmingly to the rich. In 1962, the wealthiest 1 percent of American households had 125 times the wealth of the median household. By 2009, that had increased to 225 times the median. And yet, we tax income derived from long-term capital gains and dividends at a rate of 15 percent, while we tax income from Americans labor at a rate that goes up to 35 percent. Im not arguing that 35 percent is too high for the tax on the wealthiest Americans labor. The U.S. economy has been far less robust in recent decades in terms of job creation, income gains and intergenerational mobility than in the decades after World War II, when the tax rates on top incomes were double those of today. But why tax capital income at a lower rate? Only bankers and the

Syrias latest massacre

Reports are coming in of yet another episode in which Syrian security forces have opened fire on a crowd of peaceful protesters. Which raises the question: What will it take to move Western democracies to respond to the serial slaughters of civilians by the regime of Bashar al-Assad? The latest bloodshed took place Tuesday morning, this time in the city of Homs, where thousands of people occupied a central square Monday night, pitched tents and vowed to remain until their demands for political change were met. This was an act of extraordinary courage, since at least a dozen people had been killed by the security forces Sunday in the city of 700,000. And it appears to have prompted another massacre. Information is fragmentary, because Syria has prohibited foreign journalists from entering the country and done its best to censor the Internet. But reports from residents gathered by the BBC and a video posted on YouTube indicate that security forces stormed the square in the early morning hours, firing on the crowd with automatic weapons. Listen to the shooting, once caller told the BBC. Can you hear it? Its hammering on us like rain. The death toll was uncertain, though one BBC correspondent was told eight had died. Mass shootings of civilians by security forces are becoming a near-daily event in Syria. In the southern town of Daraa, where the protest movement began last month, there have been multiple massacres, including one April 8 in which gunmen opened up on a crowd marching with olive branches, killing 27. There have been similar episodes in the city of Banias and in several nearby villages. And these are just the

ones that human rights groups have been able to document. All together, considerably more than 200 people have been killed by the regime. The government mixes its repression with empty promises of change: Hours after the shootings Tuesday it announced that it was lifting a decades-old emergency law. But opening fire on crowds was not permitted even under emergency rule. There is no indication that it will stop now unless the regime is toppled or comes under severe international pressure. In nearly every instance in which state-sponsored murder on this scale has taken place in recent years, the United States and other democracies have reacted strongly. Uzbekistans massacre of protesters in the city of Andijon in 2005 led to a rupture of relations with Washington and the European Union. NATO has intervened in Libya to protect civilians from Moammar Gaddafi. Yet the response to Assads bloodshed has been limited to rhetoric. President Obama called the shootings in Daraa abhorrent, and a White House statement said last weeks attack on Banias was outrageous. But the administration has refrained from taking even diplomatic measures to express its dissatisfaction, such as withdrawing the U.S. ambassador in Damascus. It has failed to bring Syrias case before the U.N. Human Rights Council not to speak of the U.N. Security Council. Syria, mind you, is not a friend of the United States. It is Irans closest ally in the Arab world and a sponsor of the Hezbollah and Hamas militias. For years it provided a transit route for suicide bombers headed to Iraq to kill American soldiers. It tried to secretly build a nuclear reactor with the help of North Korea. Yet even when faced with extraordinary human rights crimes the repeated gunning down of unarmed protesters the Obama administration remains passive. At first this response was puzzling. Then it looked badly misguided. Now it has become simply unconscionable.

depraved believe that income from other peoples labor rates a moral discount over income from ones own labor. The case for taxing capital at a lower rate is economic: that low tax rates on investment spurs more investment, and more jobs, in the American economy. Plainly, thats no longer the case. The dividends that go to shareholders in Americas major corporations increasingly derive from investments those corporations make overseas. New data from the Commerce Department show that U.S. multinationals eliminated the positions of 2.9 million American employees during the past decade, while adding 2.4 million employees in other lands. As markets, mercantilist incentives and low-wage labor pools expand abroad, Americas marquee businesses are expanding abroad, too, not at home. Taxing dividend income at a lower rate than labor income does indeed create jobs overseas. Defenders of continuing these lower rates for investment need to explain why the tax code should subsidize domestic disinvestment. They should also explain how taxing labor income at a higher rate than investments will provide the revenue we need as the share of working Americans continues to shrink. The percentage of Americans of all ages who are employed today is just 45.4 the lowest level since 1983, USA Today reported last week. The percentage of employed working-age women rose to 57 percent in 1995 and has flat-lined since. The percentage of employed working-age men, which stood at nearly 85 percent in the early 1950s, is below 65 percent today. America is caught in an economic maelstrom. Our largest privatesector employers disinvest domestically, reducing both the size of their workforce and its paychecks. The level of revenue that the government can collect from workers income isnt going to expand, even though the nations needs (and its out-ofcontrol medical costs) are sure to grow. There are two ways to break this vicious circle. First, as private-sector employment continues to decline, the public sector will have to step in to create jobs. Second, we have to tax income and wealth derived from capital investments at a rate not just as high but higher than that we levy on work. Theres no case for rewarding income that comes from selling America short.

Officer Sylvester Young was working the Sunday night shift at the youth detention center run by the District when two teens picked the locks on their rooms, grabbed him from behind and beat him. The attack was swift, he said, and he quickly blacked out. When Young came to, swollen, bruised and dazed, he was locked in Room 10 and couldnt get out. An 18-year-old who had attacked him who was supposed to be locked in Room 10 had stolen Youngs keys, scaled the

facilitys fence and sped off in Youngs car. When I woke up, I didnt have my wallet or keys, said Young, 53, who recounted the incident in an interview Tuesday. I banged on the door for a while. The officer next door heard me banging, banging, banging and came and got me. The escape Monday morning from the New Beginnings Youth Development Center in Laurel has heightened concerns about staffing and security at the stateof-the-art facility, which has had three escapes since it opened in May 2009. D.C. Council Member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1), who oversees the Districts Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS), said Tuesday that nine cameras, which he said should have been actively monitored in

a control room, captured the assault and escape. He said the two youths used the guards stolen electronic key card seven times. It is unclear when or how the escape was first detected. Were having an intense revelation of how insecure the facility is, Graham said. We have got to take immediate steps to make sure its a secure facility. On Tuesday evening, the 18year-old had not been found by authorities. Graham said the youth is from Southeast Washington and was being held on burglary and theft charges. He said the youth had been written up dozens of times since May for breaking facility rules, infractions Graham said should have sparked additional intervention.

in public education, despite the support of the Obama administration and some other school reform advocates. Schools in Prince Georges County and the District have programs that tie teacher pay, at least in some instances, to evaluations of performance. But teachers unions often oppose such plans. McDonnell named 169 eligible schools, including about 50 in Northern Virginia, that he said have been difficult to keep staffed. Nine of those schools are in Fairfax County, but the districts experiment with merit pay in the 1980s did not go well, said Superintendent Jack D. Dale.

Schaefer to lie in state in Baltimore, Annapolis

BILL OLEARY/THE WASHINGTON POST

In a training exercise, Fairfax County officers Sabrina Gonzalez, left, and Brian Bowers try to keep Dave Florence, a retired mental health worker portraying a distressed person, from jumping off the roof. Officers across the country are learning how to handle such situations.

William Donald Schaefer, who was being remembered Tuesday for his larger-than-life personality, will arguably get the grandest send-off of any Maryland politician in history. Plans call for Schaefer, former Maryland governor, comptroller and Baltimore mayor, to lie in state Monday and Tuesday in the rotundas of the State House in Annapolis and City Hall in Baltimore. In between, a motorcade carrying his coffin will drive by Baltimore landmarks, probably including the tourist-centered Inner Harbor, which he transformed as a four-term mayor, and the neighborhoods of Little Italy and Fells Point, where he loved to mingle and dine. Funeral services are scheduled for Wednesday at a historic church in downtown Baltimore, where former parishioners include a signatory to the U.S. Dec-

laration of Independence, early U.S. Supreme Court justices and Marylands first governor. It is fitting that as we mourn the loss of Marylands indomitable statesman, the people of Maryland can celebrate his legacy properly, Gov. Martin OMalley (D) said as he and Baltimore officials jointly announced next weeks plans. Schaefer died Monday night at age 89, capping a political career filled with media stunts, a do it now mantra and compassion for everyday citizens. Funeral services were delayed until next week partly because of the Easter holiday. Schaefer, a Democrat who was twice elected governor starting in 1986, will be the first Marylander to have held that office to lie in state in Annapolis, according to historians. The unprecedented public viewing is a fitting tribute for a politician whose personal life was inextricably linked with his public service, said the states archivist, Edward C. Papenfuse.

Spirit of Chocolate City has long been a bittersweet memory

o Chocolate City is melting, getting a vanilla swirl, turning into a white chocolate macadamia nut cocoa ball. Oh, so bittersweet. Except that Chocolate City hasnt existed since the 1990s. The latest census showing the District on the verge of losing its black-majority status is just numbers. More whites, Asians and Hispanics are moving in; more blacks are moving out. More than 300,000 blacks still live in the city. But Chocolate City was not just about numbers. It was a feeling, a state of mind, a taste and tempo unique to a place and time. Roberta Flack at Mr. Henrys, Smokey Robinson at the Carter Barron, late nights at the Foxtrappe Club. In the 1970s, black residents in a post-riot town made their move from the streets to the suites, while Parliament Funkadelic captured the pride, power and sense of newfound freedom in a song called Chocolate City. All of that is long gone. One of the best eulogies for

Chocolate City was penned by D.C. writer Kenneth Carroll back in 1998. Chocolate City was a cultural muscularity flexing itself in images like Gaston Neal and the New School of African American Thought hosting Sun Ra in the middle of 14th Street, Carroll wrote in The Washington Post. It was Robert Hooks and the D.C. Black Repertory Theater. It was Shirley Horne, Buck Hill and Carter Jefferson on sax, Bobby Sanchez on trumpet and Fred Foss on alto at Twins. It was Bill Harris on guitar at the Pigfoot, Butch Warren on bass anywhere; it was Chuck Brown at the Maverick Room on Wednesday night; Billy Stewart at the Koko Club at 8th and H; Trouble Funk at the Coliseum, Experience Unlimited at the Panorama Room, and Gil ScottHerons H2O Watergate Blues in regular rotation on black radio. That was the soul of the city, and such a loss could never be captured in census data. milloy continued on B5

Crab census is positive, OMalley says

BY

J OHN W AGNER

A new estimate of the Chesapeake Bays blue crab population is further evidence of the wisdom of controversial limits imposed on harvesting in 2008, Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley said Tuesday. The latest figure of 460 million was down from 658 million a year ago, when officials touted an extraordinary comeback. But OMalley and others gathered at a news conference at a crab house in Riva attributed that to a deep freeze this winter that killed an unusually large number of crabs in the bay. The crab population is coming back, OMalley (D) said. Overall, we are moving forward. The crab, a key part of both the bays ecosystem and the regions seafood economy, had been rapidly declining during the 2000s. Its population reached a low of 249 million in 2007, the year OMalley took

office. OMalley said the population figure announced Tuesday, taken from an annual winter dredge survey, was the second-highest since 1997 and represented the third year in a row officials have exceeded their goal. The 2008 limits, imposed by Maryland and Virginia, were aimed at protecting more female crabs, which can produce millions of baby crabs apiece. But they initially cut deeply into the income of some watermen and seafood dealers. OMalley administration officials indicated Tuesday that they are looking at some additional loosening of the 2008 restrictions.

In a Sunday column, Robert McCartney wrote that even a state as liberal and environmentally conscious as Maryland is unwilling to add $2 a month to the family electric bill to pay for offshore windmills to create a new, permanent source of clean energy. His column drew an e-mailed response from reader Ernest Miller of Clifton.

From the courts

Readers responded to a story about a Montgomery County jury ordering Nordstrom to pay nearly $1.6 million to two women stabbed inside its Bethesda store six years ago, concluding that the retailer did not adequately warn shoppers that a woman armed with four butcher knives was on the loose.

Wind power debate blows both ways

Miller wrote: As a longtime resident of Maryland, I disagree totally with your criticism of the Maryland legislature for not passing the wind power gift to the labor unions, big business and environmentalists. I do support raising the gas tax, but only with guarantees that the money would go for road maintenance and not to support projects being pushed by overly ambitious developers as has been done recently or other non-transportationrelated uses. The wind power project should be approved, but only if funded with private funds. Any profits would go to private business; why not the financial risk? This was a half-baked idea and the cost was open-ended. No reasonable cost estimates are available and from what the news media said there was no cap on the citizens liability. McCartney responded: I agree itd be better if wind power were built only with private funds, but thats not going to happen in the current economic environment. New, valuable, beneficial technologies often need government support to get off the ground. That includes the Internet (built originally by the Defense Department), the Interstate Highway System and the railroads. Wind power is similar. As for citizens liability, the original bill was amended to set a cap on household electric bills of $2 a month.

MATTHEW STAVER/BLOOMBERG NEWS

Would a warning cause undue panic?

JedinBethesda: The issue wasnt Nordstrom not being able to stop the mayhem. The issue was Nordstrom being aware that a crazed, armed woman was attacking people in their store and not using their public address system or having an employee shout a warning to alert customers of the issue. jldlott1: What about considering the foreseeable consequence of issuing a PA warning and causing a stampede? If a patron was trampled to death, who pays? theobserver4: Im sorry, but if a mentally ill woman is running around the store stabbing people, then you get on the PA system and warn shoppers. Are we worried about panic or being stabbed? atkissonjim: How do you warn without creating a panic? Does someone observe the situation, instantly and accurately diagnose the danger, run back to a PA system and advise the best course of action? How do you draft security procedures to contain, restrain and neutralize a mentally deranged individual acting with purpose? Most stores dont want their locations to look like the Green Zone. It will curtail business.

In journalism, they tell us to show people things instead of just telling them. Sharon Bulova tried the same approach Tuesday. The chair of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors showed some reporters that if you build a Metro station at Dulles International Airport above ground not below, as the airports authority wants that the trip from the station to the terminal is an easy underground jaunt that can be done in seven minutes. And, oh, yeah you save about $330 million. Bulova could have issued another letter of concern or outrage responding to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authoritys decision to place the final stop on the Silver Line underground. She said she has spoken with the chairman of the authority, Charles D. Snelling who, by the way, lives in nearby Pennsylvania and theyre going to have a talk real soon. But adding $330 million to the tab for an underground Metro station doesnt just come out of the pockets of Fairfax and Loudoun county governments. It will also come out of the wallets of the users of the Dulles Toll Road. Those drivers are ponying up 75 percent of the cost of the Metro construction to Dulles, and the tolls aint going to be cheap when another $330 million has to be scrounged up. Our walk Tuesday afternoon started at the daily North Garage, directly across from the main terminal. Bulova pointed out that an aerial station would be built in front of this existing garage and so wouldnt further harm the viewshed of Dulles. (It is a word. Means view.) Bulova noted that an op-ed in The Post last week by authority member Mame Reiley warned that travelers would have to trek 1,150 feet to an aboveground station to stand in steamy Washington summers or icy winter winds and that an underground station preserves the architectural vision of the masterful Eero Saarinen that has made Dulles a design icon worldwide. Bulova responded, I think very few people realize that, right now, theres already an underground tunnel for the lengthy trek and that the station would be in front of the parking garage. (Out of about 900 people whove voted in a State of NoVa user poll so far, 65 percent favored underground at last check.) We took the elevator down to the tunnel, which is air-conditioned, has moving walkways and is entirely pleasant. Standing and talking on the moving walkways, it took us four minutes to reach the point where the underground station would be. In another three minutes, we were at the main terminal. People walking the whole thing can do it less than five minutes, Bulova said. Building the station underground would save four minutes on the walkways and add $330 million in costs, she calculated. Building the station above ground would take six months less than the underground station, Bulova said. The airports authority staff and the Fairfax, Loudoun and Virginia government staffs all recommended above ground. And it would save money, which is key because the local governments were already coming up short even before the airports authoritys decision. Theres so much misinformation out there, Bulova said. I decided to just plain come on out and show everybody what the experience would be.

Pr. Georges council will consider pay raise

The Prince Georges Council has agreed to consider a 2 percent pay raise for about 1,800 county unionized employees whose contracts were approved by former County Executive Jack B. Johnson (D) but never sent to the council for final action. The fate of the pay raise, which would cost the county about $1.6 million annually, is far from certain. County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D) said the county cant afford the raises, and the council did not take a formal position Tuesday when the members agreed to hold a hearing on the proposal. Union officials are irate that the contract is in doubt. A lot of these employees live paycheck to paycheck, said Glen Middleton, international vice president of Council 67 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents the workers. We negotiated in good faith.

Police use Taser to subdue armed man

A Montgomery County police officer used a Taser to subdue a man who police said held a knife in one hand and a baby in the other before threatening to kill himself, officials said Tuesday. Jack Romero, 24, whose address wasnt immediately clear, was charged with two counts of second-degree assault after the Sunday night incident in an apartment along Lockwood Drive in the White Oak area of Silver Spring, police said.

Officers were called there for a possible domestic dispute. After arriving, police said, they saw Romero with a knife, and ordered him to drop it. Romero retreated to a bedroom and shut the door. A woman told the officers there were two boys, ages 5 months and 3 years, in the room. Officers entered and saw Romero kneeling next to the baby, according to police. The officers kept ordering him to drop the knife, police said. Romero put it to his throat and threatened to kill himself, and then was hit with the Taser.

VIRGINIA

State panel to weigh same-sex adoptions

Cuccinellis view that new laws would be illegal will be factor
BY

A NITA K UMAR

richmond Chris Maulden

and Doug Maulden-Locke had been together for nearly a decade when they decided to start a family. They were surprised to learn that state law prevented them from adopting a child together. So they did what some other same-sex couples in Virginia have done: the Maryland Shuffle. The couple rented out their three-floor Centreville townhouse and moved to Rockville to be able to adopt their daughter, Mya, now 11 weeks old. We wanted to grow our family so badly that we walked away from our home to live in someone elses home, said MauldenLocke, 36, who works at Discovery in Sterling. We were treated like second-class citizens. On Wednesday, a state board will weigh a proposal that some say would for the first time allow same-sex couples to adopt children in Virginia. But some members of the State Board of Social Services, including Democratic appointees who make up the 5-to-4 majority, say they will be guided by advice from Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II, who said in a memo last week that the proposed new adoption rules would violate state law. Chairwoman Bela Sood, who was appointed by former Democratic governors Mark R. Warner and Timothy M. Kaine, said that despite members philosophical disagreements, they must rely on the attorney generals views. We have to depend on them, she said. They are very clear and

Settlements reached in church dispute

Settlements have been reached with two of nine breakaway conservative Northern Virginia Anglican churches locked since 2007 in multimillion-dollar land disputes with the Episcopal Church. The announcement Tuesday by the 117-member Church of the Word in Gainesville follows one in February by Church of Our Saviour, Oatlands. The settlements with the Virginia Episcopal Diocese and the national Episcopal Church come as the fouryear-long case heads to trial again April 25 in Fairfax Circuit Court. Congregants voted to leave after the Episcopal Church approved an openly gay bishop, the latest in a series of disputes about how to understand the Bible. The case that starts next week is the second phase of the dispute.

direct. Cuccinellis office said that the proposal does not comport with applicable state law and public policy and that the board lacks the authority to adopt this proposed language. Robert Spadaccini, a board member who served under former Republican governors George Allen and James S. Gilmore III and who was appointed by Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R), said the board will rely heavily on guidance from Cuccinelli. It will be a driving factor, he said. Cuccinellis position reverses a 2009 decision made by his predecessor, William C. Mims, a former Republican legislator and now a Virginia Supreme Court justice. Mims did not return messages Tuesday. Members said they would question Senior Assistant Attorney General Allen Wilson, who advises the nine-member board, about his offices position. Gay rights groups are lobbying the board to ignore Cuccinellis legal opinion. His memo at this stage is advice, and clients get to say one way or another whether they accept the counsel, said Claire Guthrie Gastanaga, general counsel to Equality Virginia and a former chief deputy attorney general. In Virginia, only married couples and single men and women, regardless of sexual orientation, can adopt. The proposed changes would require private and faithbased groups, such as Catholic Charities and Jewish Family Services, to allow gay parents to

adopt or foster children. Mark McDermott, an adoption lawyer who practices in Virginia and who is a board member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, said state law allows faith-based groups to not work with potential adoptive parents on the basis of sexual orientation. The proposed regulations would protect against discrimination on the basis of gender, age, religion, political beliefs, sexual orientation, disability, family status, race, color or national origin. Lawmakers and activists disagree about whether the proposed regulations would allow other classes, including unmarried couples heterosexual or homosexual to adopt. Last year, nearly 2,500 children were adopted in Virginia. Kaine, who is running for U.S. Senate next year, proposed the change in regulations in November 2009, less than two months before he left office. He recently said he supports the rules but declined to say whether he supports same-sex adoptions, although he has previously opposed it. If the social services board approves the regulations Wednesday, they would be reviewed by McDonnell, the Department of Planning and Budget, and Health and Human Resources Secretary Bill Hazel. McDonnell must sign off on the new rules. McDonnell has said he opposes the changes because faithbased organizations should be

able to make their own policies. Many of our adoption agencies are faith-based groups that ought to be able to establish what their own policies are, he said. Virginia Social Services Commissioner Martin Brown, who was appointed by McDonnell and who also worked for Allen and Gilmore, will advise the board Wednesday that it cannot adopt the new regulations. Gay rights and adoption advocacy groups have been pressuring McDonnell and the board writing them, taking out ads and holding news conferences to approve the regulations. No person who wants to become a parent should be forced to leave the state to do so, and no child should be denied a loving home because of such discrimination, said James Parrish, executive director of Equality Virginia. Maulden said he and Maulden-Locke would like to return to Virginia after Myas adoption is finalized in September. He said they might consider adopting again but dont know whether they could afford another Maryland Shuffle. I think its sad its very sad, said Maulden, 35, a human resources manager at a parking company in the District. At the end of the day, its about the children. And there are children who arent being put in wonderful homes.

THE FEDERAL WORKER

On Leadership: The Federal Coach

6 Excerpt from views.washingtonpost.com/leadership/fedcoach

The nonprofit Partnership for Public Service and The Washington Posts On Leadership site jointly produce the Federal Coach, hosted by Tom Fox, director of the partnerships Center for Government Leadership. The goal is to engage, inspire and learn from you, the federal worker, whether you are a new hire, a contractor or a manager at the highest level.

Cuts to Recognition Week? Like a knife to the heart.

s if the five-year pay freeze for federal workers and the retirement cutbacks included in the House budget resolution werent enough, Congress provided a symbolic but telling blow to them by taking a hit at Public Service Recognition Week, of all things. The events for May 1-7 were to include displays on the Mall through which federal agencies would educate the public about their activities. With $150,000 in federal funds footing part of the cost, its been a cheap event, as Washington doings go. Nonetheless, it was excluded in the deal that resulted in the long-awaited passage of the 2011 budget. Other Recognition Week events will continue, including a town hall meeting on perceptions of government, the real value of vital public services and the importance of communicating that value to the American people, according to its Web site. Perhaps members of Congress particularly Republicans in the House should attend that May 3 meeting instead of their regular Capitol Hill sessions. They might gain some needed insight concerning their perceptions of government workers and the real value of public servants. If they did attend the town hall, they might come away with an understanding that the value of public employees is undermined by unrelenting harassment some small, some big of those workers. The budget approved by the House last week would be a major step in making federal employees feel unappreciated, perhaps even unwelcome. Among other things, it would add three years to the two-year federal pay freeze and make employees pay more of their income in retirement benefits. I just feel the years of honorable and faithful service Ive given to the government doesnt seem to be appreciated, said Curtis Stewart. The 69-year-old Navy Department civilian at Fort Story, Va., has given 50 years to the government, half in the military, half

serving those still in uniform or veterans. Of course, the chief architect of the spending plan, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), chairman of the House Budget Committee, doesnt see it the way Stewart does. This is our defining moment, he said as the debate on his budget drew to a close. His remark wasnt limited to the federal employee provisions, but it does capture the way House Republicans in particular have approached the governments workforce. For example, federal employees who are seriously delinquent on their taxes could be fired under a measure approved by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week. It would affect less than 1 percent of the workers, but it shows how House Republicans choose to spend their time on workforce issues. Ryans proposals, which still have a long way to go before becoming law, would cut staffing through attrition by allowing agencies to hire one new worker for every three who retire. That gradual, sensible attrition policy, as his plan calls it, would cut the workforce at a significantly faster rate than the two-for-three replacement plan pushed by the Simpson-Bowles fiscal commission last year. But it is the five-year pay freeze that could prove to be among the real drivers of attrition. Because federal retirement payments are based on salaries from the three highest years of employment, imposing a five-year freeze would push many to the door who otherwise would stay. If they are eligible to retire, as many baby boomers are, a five-year freeze would undercut any incentive to delay retirement based on the desire to secure a higher salary, which would bolster retirement calculations. When you have a pay freeze, it means your retirement benefits are frozen forever, said Dan Adcock, legislative director of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association. It has a lasting and long-term effect on hardworking federal employees. The commission considered a proposal to base retirement on the five highest salary years, but Ryan didnt go that far. He does, however, want to have federal workers pay more out of their pockets for certain retirement benefits. Employee association analysts say equally sharing the cost of those benefits with the government would have the same impact as a 6 percent cut in pay. In an April 13 letter, the FederalPostal Coalition, made up of 22 employee organizations, reminded members of Congress that most large private-sector employers historically have not required their workers to make any contributions toward their definedbenefit pensions. Stewart, who had no plans to retire, has had enough. Ive given all the adult years of my life to our government, either in the military or as a civilian, he said. I was proud to do that, and I wanted to continue to do that. But now, Im being assaulted by the very government that Im serving, he added. And that makes me feel like I should go ahead and retire now.

An expert on motivation in times of disaster

Adm. Thad W. Allen is the former commandant of the Coast Guard, a position he held until 2010. He has been in charge of several large-scale disasters, including directing federal response and recovery efforts for Hurricane Katrina. And though he had retired, Allen was the national incident commander for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which occurred exactly one year ago. Allen is now involved with several organizations and teaches at George Washington University. How can federal leaders lead and motivate their staff during a crisis? When I was in Baton Rouge after I took over the entire response for Hurricane Katrina, I asked to assemble as many people as we could in one location so I could talk to them. We got about 2,250 in a big, open space, and I got up on a desk with a loudhailer and told everybody I was going down to New Orleans. I told them I would be back as soon as possible and indicated who was in charge in my absence. I explained I was giving them a firm, direct order and said, Youre to treat anyone you come in contact with thats been affected by this storm as if they were a member of your own family, as if they were your brother, mother, father or sister. I told them this for two reasons. If you really do that, and you make a mistake, you will have erred on the side of doing too much, and thats okay. Also, if you err on the side of doing too much and somebody has a problem with what you did, their problem is not with you, its with me, because I gave you the order. There were people in the room who were openly weeping, and there were collective sighs. Nobody had ever told the workforce in very simple terms what was important, what the priorities were, that leadership cared about them and their mission and that leadership was there to back them. How do you get people to focus on resolving a problem when there are strong emotions involved? Im a strong believer in a concept they teach at the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University. Professor Leonard Marcus oversees the program, and he has a concept called meta-leadership. There are five attributes of a meta-leader that make you successful in a large, complex problem or crisis: how you lead down, how you lead up, how you lead across organizations, your understanding of the event itself and managing yourself and emotions as a leader. They use a metaphor going to the emotional basement. When youre in a position of responsibility, you cannot spend a lot of time going to the emotional basement. Youve got to figure out a way to pull yourself out of it, not only for what you need to do as a leader, but as an learner, digest and synthesize knowledge, and turn it into action. Youre always going to have to do that in conditions of uncertainty with incomplete information, and its always going to be that way. But like anything else, the more you practice, the luckier you get. How do you find the time to be a continuous learner? You have to find ways to make the time. I take advantage of time that would normally be considered dead time. If Im flying from one place or another in a helicopter or in transit in a car, Im either reading or have my laptop out doing research online to get smart on the issues Im dealing with. You have to create the mechanisms by which you can absorb information. Its probably individual to each person, but if I dont do that, Ive found myself feeling disjointed and distracted. Its almost like a compulsion; Ive got to do it or Im not having a good day. When I got involved in the oil spill and started understanding the complexity and technical issues that were involved, I reached out for expertise, especially around what was going to be the pivotal role of the blowout preventer, which didnt perform as advertised. I called Cameron Company, which made the blowout preventer, and said, Im coming to Houston; I want to meet with your president and your staff, and youre going to give me blowout preventer 101 right now. And I got on a plane and went. Ill go to almost any source to get information. I keep a broad network of friends that Ive known over the years, and I dont hesitate to call them up if I think I need to. In fact, there were several instances during the oil spill where I called CEOs of other oil companies and asked them their opinion. What advice do you have for those leading in the midst of anti-government sentiment? Looking back, there was great cynicism in the 1960s and 1970s in regard to the Vietnam War and scandals in government like Watergate. You have these ebbs and flow of confidence in the government. We understand there is a limit of what we want government to do, but we have high expectations of the performance of government. Its a dynamic tension thats always out there and has to be managed on a daily basis. Now, if you know thats the case, then as far as motivating people and motivating yourself, what you need to ask is, How can we optimize what we do as a government? I dont think we do enough of that.

example to the folks that are working for you. Ive found that in a crisis, the higher up you are, the more youre going to be the one that has to pull yourself and everyone else out of the emotional basement, stabilize what youre doing and focus on what needs to be done. If you cant do that, youre going to get consumed in pathos and everything thats going on and not serve yourself or the country well. You could look to your subordinates or your superior, but there are going to be times where you walk alone, and you need to learn to do that. How can you learn to be a strong leader? You dont become a great leader by not leading. You always learn by doing it, which means you are going to make mistakes, and its going to be trial and error. There are a number of events in your lifetime where you get put under stress, and the earlier you do that, the earlier you come to grips with how you react and how you interact with them intellectually. [Then] do an analysis on yourself and improve your performance for the next time. Additionally, and Im stealing somebody elses line here, great leaders are great learners. You need to be curious and a lifelong learner, because in a crisis, youre going to have to know large amounts of information; be a very fast

Public viewing for loyal public servant

schaefer from B1 narily devoted public servant at a caliber that very often we do not see in public office. The tradition for honoring the lives of former Maryland governors has largely been limited to religious ceremonies and the flying of the state flags at half-staff. The services for former vice president Spiro T. Agnew, who in 1996 was the last Maryland governor to die, were quiet and simple, according to state archives. Agnew had resigned as vice president in 1973 after a federal investigation into bribery and extortion allegations that included his tenure as governor. Although Schaefer will be the first former governor to lie in state at the State House, there have been other public viewings in the historic capital building, including one for former longtime state comptroller Louis L. Goldstein, a colorful politician dubbed Mr. Maryland who died in 1998. Those close to Schaefer contacted the governors office to request a formal state funeral, said Papenfuse, who also serves on the State House Trust, which oversees the use of the building and its grounds. I cant imagine anyone who would merit one more than Willie Don, said Herbert C. Smith, a McDaniel College political science professor, using the former governors nickname. He was a remarkable public official who stamped his personality, his determination and his vision on Baltimore City and the state. He almost defined Maryland politics for several decades, Smith said. Schaefer served as Baltimores mayor between 1971 to 1987. Although perhaps best known for transforming Marylands largest city, Smith said Schaefers public works efforts, including widening state roads and replacing a drawbridge leading to the Atlantic coast, made traveling far less aggravating and easier. The state archives has been collecting memorabilia from Schaefers public and private life since he reluctantly moved from his townhouse to a retirement community in 2008. The archives will make the materials available for exhibits and research, Papenfuse said. Speaking to reporters Tuesday, OMalley suggested a greater legacy for Schaefer than his public works projects: For a politician who was impatient with the slowness of government . . . he had all the time in the world to talk to citizens on the street. OMalley and the Maryland National Guard are scheduled to take part in an arrival ceremony at 10 a.m. Monday at the State House. Plans call for Schaefer to lie in state there for public viewing until 2 p.m. and then be taken to Baltimore for the motorcades

Orange holds campaign cash advantage

He has $103,000 more in bank than closest rival in last week of D.C. race
BY

T IM C RAIG

With a week to go until Tuesdays special election, former D.C. Council member Vincent B. Orange has amassed a huge cash advantage over his opponents in the race to fill a council at-large seat. Campaign finance reports filed late Monday night show that Orange (D) has raised an additional $70,000 since March 11 for his bid, leaving him with a comfortable $134,000 to fund getout-the-vote efforts. Orange, viewed as having the highest name recognition among the candidates, has more than four times as much money in the bank as his nearest rival. In an interview, Orange said he will use the money for late mailings, meals and transportation, as well as other staples of a

District campaign. We should come pretty close to spending it all, said Orange, who ran unsuccessfully for council chairman last year. Council member Sekou Biddle (D-At Large), who was appointed by the D.C. Democratic State Committee in January to fill the council seat pending the special election, has out-fundraised Orange since March 11. Biddle reported taking in about $74,000, but high staff and consultant costs and an aggressive direct-mail campaign have left him with $25,000 in the bank. He lags behind Democrat Bryan Weaver in money available for the final stretch of the campaign, the finance reports show. In an interview, Biddle said his interactions with voters will help make up the difference. At the end of the day, elections are about choices, and residents are going to make a decision about who the best person is for this council seat, Biddle said. Ive heard over and over and over again, its me. Weaver, a longtime community

activist who lives in Ward 1, has raised $26,000 over the past six weeks. Weaver, who wants to rewrite the citys tax and ethics codes, has $31,000 in the bank. Democrat Joshua Lopez, a campaign aide in Adrian M. Fentys failed mayoral reelection bid last year, reported that he has about $19,000 on hand. Lopez, who has run a frugal yet relentless effort, has raised about $8,000 since March 11. He also spent $8,000 over the past month, the least of any of the major candidates. Lopez is using the Internet and door-to-door campaigning to keep his anti-establishment message in front of potential voters. Patrick Mara, the lone Republican in the race, reported that he has raised $28,000 since March 11 but has spent nearly all of it. Mara has $15,000 in the bank. But he is getting a lift from BudsPAC, a political fund founded by associates of the late parking magnate Leonard Bud Doggett.

On Tuesday, some residents received a colorful mailing from BudsPAC featuring an apple set against a backdrop of oranges to contrast Mara with the other candidates, specifically Orange. Its time for a change, the mailer concludes. Yet Oranges cash advantage might pay dividends Tuesday. For example, Orange said he plans to have two or three campaign workers at each of the 143 polling sites. I feel good I am going to be able to execute my plan to get voters to the polls, he said. But in an election expected to attract a fraction of the citys 459,000 registered voters, few observers are willing to predict whether Orange can successfully leverage his financial advantage into an overwhelming showing. Since last week, registered voters have been able to vote early at the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics at Judiciary Square. As of Tuesday evening, 702 early ballots had been cast.

to be 17, but Graham said Tuesday that he had recently turned 18. The second teenager did not leave the facility and was caught. Christopher Shorter, chief of staff for the DYRS, said that the attack was caught on video and that his staff is conducting an internal investigation, which should be completed in several weeks. He declined to offer additional details about the incident, citing the ongoing investigation. Young, who has more than two decades experience as a guard, said he was escorting a detainee back to his room from a bathroom break about 12:30 a.m. when he was attacked. I was shocked. It was like a bad dream, said Young, whose eye is swollen shut and who will have to undergo facial surgery. Like other officers on staff, he was by himself on a unit with nine or 10 inmates during the overnight shift, he said. I wish we had more staffing on midnights, he said. It wouldnt have happened if we had more officers.

Brentwood Mayor Xzavier Montgomery-Wright said she has repaid all but $1,000 of more than $7,500 she allegedly withdrew on a town debit card she obtained and used to cover her personal expenses. And she said she has a new home days after being evicted. Montgomery-Wright spoke Monday night during a five-hour meeting of the Brentwood Town Council during which residents called for her arrest, asked her to step down and questioned her budget priorities. I am appalled that she has the audacity to sit up there as our mayor, Gina Morlan, a lifelong resident of Brentwood, told the council. The mayor and the council are sending a message that it is okay to take money from the taxpayers. Earlier this year, Montgomery-

Mayor Xzavier MontgomeryWright was censured by Brentwood officials for obtaining and using a debit card without Town Council approval.

Wright was censured by town officials for obtaining and using a debit card without council approval. An external auditor has been hired to examine allegations that she used the card to

cover more than $7,500 in cellphone charges, a plane ticket and other expenses. MontgomeryWright also has been dealing with eviction from the Brentwood home she had rented for about eight years. Her landlord said she owes him more than $7,000 in back rent. Montgomery-Wright said she had declined to talk about her eviction and the investigation because she needed to take care of her housing. I wanted to make sure that I was in compliance with anything related to handling town business, so I did make that a priority, she said. She also called the discussion surrounding her plight a distraction. Ann Wells, a resident of the community of about 3,000, chastised her. You call it a distraction, she said. It is not a distraction. Unauthorized funds were taken, so it is not just a little distraction. Council members were criticized for allowing the mayor to remain in office. But council member Marlene Robinson said the panels hands were tied.

milloy from B1 composition would be about 30 to 35 percent black, said Roderick J. Harrison, an associate professor of sociology and anthropology at Howard University. Why? Because blacks derive significant benefits from living among middle-class white people, such as better city services, better schools and higher-quality stores. Moreover, 30 percent is large enough for blacks to create a comfort zone that blunts the effects of white prejudice but small enough not to trigger white flight. A 2009 study by researchers at New York University noted that the strongest predictor of resistance to racial integration among whites is prejudice, whereas the strongest predictor of black avoidance of white neighborhoods is fear of discrimination. Itll be interesting to see what comes of the racial recipe in the Districts changing neighborhoods. The changes that are occurring in the District are not just making the city economically richer but more culturally diverse, said Margaret Simms, a fellow at the Urban Institute in Washington. There will be a lot more opportunities to learn about other cultures and the potential for a lot more interaction between people who otherwise might not get together. The challenge is how to make the benefits work for everybody in the city. No need to cry for Chocolate City. Been there; done that. All thats left to do now is tell the grandkids how it was back in the day, when we used to listen to a wild and crazy group called Funkadelic on pressed wax discs called albums.

It wouldnt have happened if we had more officers.

Sylvester Young, a guard at New Beginnings Youth Development Center in Laurel, referring to Mondays escape.

Young has worked for New Beginnings since it opened. Before that, he worked for its predecessor, Oak Hill, for 20 years. Oak Hill was closed after decades of problems, and New Beginnings opened with high expectations. Although the aim of the center is to rehabilitate the detainees, Young said the youths can be violent. A lot of them are really dangerous. We have to treat these guys like its maximum security, Young said. I know its supposed to be a treatment facility, but we have to be aware of what theyre capable of. After they attacked Young, the teenagers took his swipe card to leave the unit and grabbed a ladder left by a maintenance crew, officials said. One held the ladder and the 18-year-old scaled it, Young said. The youth who held the ladder decided not to make a run for it, Young said. Youngs car, a Hyundai Genesis with Fraternal Order of Police license plates, was found in the Barry Farm neighborhood in Southeast on Monday afternoon, he said. Young said hed never been attacked before. He knew the escapee for six months and had never had a run-in with him. It was an opportune moment for him to escape, Young said. He was going to make sure nobody was in his way. Youngs wife, Karen Young, said officers need better protection. Im somewhat angry with the guy who did this to my husband, but my anger is really with the facility, she said. They put him in that position.

By the end of the decade, Chocolate City was losing its magic for much of the aspiring black middle class, Carroll wrote. Reality was not measuring up to the vision. The citys black elected officials were finding Congress a mighty hindrance in running things, and the black voters were finding that those black elected officials were only slightly better than the former appointees. What a mess chocolate makes when it melts. For the most part, the new arrivals are being welcomed with open arms complaints from low-income people about being displaced by gentrification notwithstanding. The reasons might surprise you.

Va. teachers could qualify for merit pay

teachers from B1 in Fairfax that was ultimately not successful. School districts have until June 15 to apply for McDonnells program, which is to begin in the fall. The funding available for performance pay represents an opportunity to provide meaningful incentives and rewards for exemplary teachers in a significant number of Virginia schools, McDonnell said in a statement to reporters. Whether such programs succeed hinges largely on the criteria used to evaluate teachers. McDonnell plans to require that districts accepting the merit-pay funding also adopt a newly overhauled teacher evaluation system, driven largely by student performance on the states standards of learning tests, often called SOLs. Similar approaches have drawn the ire of teachers unions, which view test scores as poor measures of teacher performance, even when such metrics focus on student improvement from one year to the next, as Virginias will. Paying teachers to work in hard-to-staff schools is one thing, but its totally different to allocate pay based on how students do on an SOL on a given day in a given year, said Kitty Boitnott, president of the Virginia Education Association. Attempting to tackle the issue exclusively in schools that McDonnell dubbed hard to staff would seem to make the initiative more palatable. But Northern Virginia officials said they were puzzled by the governors list. Theyve listed five of our schools, and none of them are difficult to staff, said Wayde Byard, a spokesman for the Loudoun County school system. The district is unlikely to participate in the program, he said, but the prospect will be discussed next week at a meeting. Were not really sure how these schools got on the list rather than others, said Linda Erdos, a spokeswoman for the Arlington County school system. Some of the schools on McDonnells list are among the districts more successful, she said, while some of its more troubled schools were left off. Fairfaxs attempt at merit pay in the early 1980s illustrates the costs of such a failure, some teachers said. The program was underfunded . . . and it caused employees to be rated lower than they should have been. It really damaged relationships at schools, said Steve Greenburg, president of the Fairfax County Federation of Teachers. State officials say they have learned from that experience and others in the past two decades. Evaluation systems have been honed, they say, and the funding this time is sufficient. Prince William County will launch an $11.1 million merit pay program next year in its 30 poorest schools, but that initiative will allocate awards based on the overall performance of schools, not individual teachers.

Michael Sarrazin, a tall, lanky, doe-eyed actor who projected a soulful appeal in films of the 1960s and 1970s, memorably as the farm boy who becomes the dancing partner of Jane Fonda in the acclaimed film They Shoot Horses, Dont They?, died April 17 at a hospital in Montreal. He was 70 and had cancer. The Canadian-born Sarrazin (pronounced SARA-zin) began his acting career as a teenager and was a veteran of stage and television before signing a contract in 1966 with Universal studios. He arrived in Hollywood with a rebellious self-confidence. At the time, he told the Toronto Star that he considered himself a tramp actor. I dont want a zillion dollars, he said in the interview. I dont want to be a carbon-copy star. All I want is to be me, Michael Sarrazin, maybe the best damned actor in the world. Take me on my own terms, or Ill cut out. He played an apprentice to con man George C. Scott in The Flim-Flam Man (1967); a surf bum in The Sweet Ride (1968) opposite his longtime girlfriend Jacqueline Bisset; and a prodigal son in Sometimes a Great Notion (1970), an adaptation of Ken Keseys book about loggers. His career peaked in 1969 when he played a drifter who joins a Depression-era dance marathon in They Shoot Horses, Dont They? The film was widely viewed as a reflection of a corrupt modern society, with its rigged finish and its masochistic master of ceremonies declaring, There can only be one winner, folks, but isnt that the American way? His co-stars included Fonda and Susannah York, both of whom were nominated for Academy Awards, and Gig Young, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for playing the smarmy emcee. Director Sydney Pollack also was nominated for an Oscar. Mr. Sarrazin was overlooked for a nomination in part, he said, because Pollack edited out his dramatic six-minute monologue that explains his mercy killing of Fondas character. Behind the scenes, the production was intense, he told the Star. We stayed in character. Pollack said we should work until signs of exhaustion. Fights would break out among the men, wom-

en started crying. Id get into terrible fights with Bruce Dern [who played another dancer]. The elbows would start flying. Jacques Michel Andre Sarrazin was born May 22, 1940, in Quebec City and grew up in Montreal, where his father practiced law. He began acting while attending a Jesuit high school. He appeared in Canadian Broadcasting Corp. dramas before signing a contract with Universal Studios that he later likened to being virtually indentured for $300 a week. My first TV feature was with Bobby Darin, he told the Star in 1994. It was Gunfight at Ablilene, done in 14 days. Leslie Nielsen was the bad guy. No one could ride or shoot. I was just a kid, and Bobby would sit and play piano all day. After They Shoot Horses, Mr. Sarrazin found himself in conflict with Universal. The studio, he said, would not make concessions that would allow him to play the street hustler in Midnight Cowboy (1969). That role made Jon Voight a star. Mr. Sarrazin appeared in underwhelming fare in the 70s. He was Barbra Streisands taxi-driving husband in the tepid comedy For Petes Sake (1974) and a man possessed in the paranormal thriller The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1975). He slummed in risible dramas such as The Seduction (1982), in which he was the boyfriend of stalking victim Morgan Fairchild, and Lipstick (1987), in which he played a creepy policy commissioner. Mr. Sarrazins later career focused on Canadian film and TV productions. He won favorable critical attention with his portrayal of a sleazy lounge lizard named Romeo Laflamme in the comedy La Florida (1993), which was co-written and produced by his brother Pierre. Besides his brother, survivors include two daughters from a relationship; and a sister. Mr. Sarrazin was reserved about disclosing details of his personal life. But glimpses reveal a resonant off-screen charisma. When I first met him, I thought he was a strange guy, quiet and moody, Bisset once told the New York Times. There was something kind of animal about him he sort of sniffs around. Hes kind of like a wiry alley cat.

Grete Waitz, whose nine New York City Marathon victories made her one of the dominant runners of the 1980s and helped destroy the notion that women were too delicate to race such long distances, died April 19 of cancer at a hospital in Oslo. She was 57. The Norwegian-born Mrs. Waitz was a graceful and nearly invincible force from 1978 until 1988. She won five world crosscountry championships and set scads of world records, including in the 3,000-meter, 10-kilometer, 15-kilometer, 20-kilometer and 10-mile. She was most closely identified with the 26.2-mile marathon especially the five-borough New York race, where she broke the world record three times and became a crowd darling. She was the first woman to run a marathon in less than 2 1/2 hours, a feat previously thought to be impossible. Her strength and speed inspired a generation of amateur runners and helped prompt International Olympic Committee to allow women to compete in the Olympics 3,000meter and marathon events for the first time in 1984. Grete Waitz is a history-maker, one of the truly epochal athletes in womens sports, journalist Peter Gambaccini wrote in Runners World in 1994. Mrs. Waitz discovered marathoning by accident. A full-time schoolteacher in Oslo who trained before and after work, she spent the first decade of her career competing in short- and middle-distance track events. In the 1970s, she broke the 3,000-meter world record twice. She was a two-time Olympian in the metric mile, then the longest Olympic race open to women. But by the time she turned 25, she felt her career had stagnated. Her Norwegian teammates, all younger, nicknamed her Grandma. She was on the verge of retiring from the sport when, at the urging of her husband, Jack Waitz, she accepted an invitation to compete in the 1978 New York City Marathon. Race director Fred Lebow chose her as a rabbit, charged with setting a strong pace early on for serious competitors. She had never run farther than 12 miles at one time, she later said. Mrs. Waitz and her husband, who was her coach, treated the trip as a second honeymoon. The night before the marathon, they ate a four-course meal of shrimp cocktail, filet mignon, red wine

cer. They ran slowly together, crossing the line after an emotional 5 hours 32 minutes. Lebow died two years later. Grete Andersen was born Oct. 1, 1953, in Oslo, where her father was a pharmacist and her mother worked at a grocery store. Her parents hoped Grete would become a pianist, but she was bent on emulating her athletic older brothers. Besides her brothers, Jan and Arild, survivors include her husband. Her neighbor, Olympic javelin champion Terje Pedersen, encouraged her interest in running, and by 16 she was Norways junior 400- and 800-meter champion. She competed in the Olympics for the first time in 1972, at 18. During the past two decades, Mrs. Waitz had been one of longdistance runnings most visible and venerated ambassadors. Keeping homes in Norway and in Gainesville, Fla., she traveled widely to encourage runners especially female runners at road races. She wrote several books about running, chronicling her own career and offering advice. I prefer to train in the dark, cold winter months when it takes a stern attitude to get out of bed before dawn and head out the door to below-freezing weather conditions, she once told an interviewer. Anyone can run on a nice, warm, brisk day.

and ice cream. The next day, Mrs. Waitz set a blistering pace. She kept it up through all 26 miles 385 yards, enduring dehydration, cramps and a level of screaming pain with which she had previously been unacquainted. Ill never, never do this again! she yelled at her husband as she crossed the finish line, blonde pigtails swaying. But she had won the race in 2 hours 32 minutes, shattering the world record by more than two minutes and inaugurating a career as a marathoner and an international star. To be suddenly a hero on a world basis was hard for me to understand, she later said. God gave me a gift. I got the chance to use it. I felt uncomfortable with the credit. Mrs. Waitz quit teaching in 1979 to focus on running. She ultimately improved her marathon time to a personal best of 2:24. (The current womens record is 2:15.) For several years, she won every marathon she finished

including the 1983 world championships at Helsinki. Then, in 1984, she faced American Joan Benoit in the first-ever womens Olympic marathon. Benoit won that race in Los Angeles, and Mrs. Waitz took silver. Her effusive praise for Benoit and her refusal to make excuses for the loss, despite having suffered debilitating back spasms in the days before the race, earned Mrs. Waitz a reputation for graciousness. Knee pain forced Mrs. Waitz to drop out of the marathon in her fourth and final Olympics, the 1988 Seoul Games. She won her ninth New York City Marathon later that year, making her the winningest runner in the races history. By the early 1990s, Mrs. Waitz had been forced into retirement by an accumulation of runningrelated injuries. She continued to attend the New York run every year as a spectator and in 1992 ran alongside Lebow, her friend and former race director, who had brain can-

ALLEN
Peacefully passed away Monday morning, April 18, 2011 after a brief illness. Betty was born in 1930 in Philadelphia, PA, before relocating to Washington, DC where she graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School. She earned a BS from Sargent College at Boston University and her masters degree from George Washington University. After graduation, her adventurous spirit led her to Europe where she taught school in Germany before returning to the Unites States to teach in the Montgomery County schools. She married Richard Allen in 1963. Betty had a zeal for life, a strong sense of adventure and generous warmth that exuded to those she met. She was an avid tennis player, golfer and field hockey player. She was a lifelong Lutheran whose faith continued to build and grow stronger with each passing year. Her husband Richard precedes Betty in death. Her daughter Amy, and her husband John, of Mt. Airy, MD and her son Bruce, and his wife Cheryl, of Chapel Hill, NC, survive her. She is survived by two nephews, Mark Allen and Craig Allen. She is also survived by her cousin Brenda Redmond of Brockton, MA and her husband Jim.

A DAM B ERNSTEIN

Orrin Tucker, who led a sweet big band for nearly a half-century and was best remembered for a coyly suggestive 1939 recording of Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh! that featured the baby-voiced singer Wee Bonnie Baker, died April 9 near Los Angeles. He was 100, and the cause of death was not reported. The handsome and personable Tucker enjoyed a remarkably long musical career that began when he formed his orchestra in 1933 and continued through the 1980s as owner of a Hollywood ballroom. The late jazz critic and historian George T. Simon described Mr. Tucker, a onetime pre-med student who sang and played saxophone, as a friendly and intelligent musician who maintained his equilibrium after Oh Johnny catapulted him to prominence. Orrin knew his music, his public and his own limitations, Simon wrote, and so, a generation after most of the big bands had faded away, he was still around, still playing his pleasant music in some of the countrys smarter spots. Playing the light, undemanding jazz style called sweet, which played down improvisation, Mr. Tuckers band crested along for decades, recording such tunes as Billy, Would Ja Mind? and his theme, Drifting and Dreaming. He helped establish Columbia Records as a powerhouse when he dusted off Oh Johnny, a song of World War I vintage, and his girl singer Baker spruced it up with sex appeal. Emitting mischievous sighs between lyrics, Baker sang of a boy of dubious looks (Youre not handsome, its true) who more than made up for it in other ways. Time magazine reported: So melting and cajoling were dimin-

LOS ANGELES TIMES

Tucker, shown in 1955, had a big hit in 1939 with Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh! His sweet jazz style was simple and light but remained in demand for years.

utive Bonnies Ohs (Chicago jitterbugs quickly changed the text to Oh Bonnie, Oh!) that her record was soon jerking juke-box nickels faster than the fading Beer Barrel Polka. After Navy service in World War II, Mr. Tucker formed a new band and tried to change his sound to a brassier style of swing only to hear from hotel managers [who] threatened to cancel any return bookings if we didnt go back to the old sound, which I did, he said. After playing himself in the 1975 TV movie Queen of the Stardust Ballroom, Mr. Tucker plunged into a new business venture by taking a defunct skating rink and transforming it into the Stardust Ballroom on Sunset Boulevard. He broadened his repertoire to include songs such as Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, but he knew his days as a performer were nearing an end. He shut down the ballroom in 1982 and worked in the real estate business in Palm Springs, Calif. Orrin Tuckers death is proba-

bly more notable for the longevity that preceded it, as well as for Wee Bonnie Bakers contribution to the bands success, said Rob Bamberger, the host of WAMU (88.5 FM)s Hot Jazz Saturday Night program. The wispy sound of the sweet bands has not stood up well with time, Bamberger added, but Tuckers band was certainly among the best of its sort. Robert Orrin Tucker was born Feb. 17, 1911, in St. Louis, and grew up in Wheaton, Ill. He had an early ambition toward medicine but also was drawn to music as a child when he saw a picture of a shiny saxophone in a Sears Roebuck mail-order catalog. He moonlighted as a musician while attending North Central College in Naperville, Ill., and found himself in such demand that he formed his own band. He hired singer Evelyn Nelson on trumpeter Louis Armstrongs recommendation. He told me that she sings with a cute voice and that if I wrote cute songs for her, I could make her a star, Mr. Tucker told the publication Jazz Connection. He changed her name to Bonnie Baker, which he considered a name with confidence. She barely reached 5 feet, prompting Mr. Tucker to introduce her as Wee Bonnie Baker. Mr. Tuckers first marriage, to fashion model Jill Powell, ended in divorce. In 1975, he married the former Aline Cameron. Besides his wife, survivors include a daughter and a grandson. There were so many musicians that said, regardless what the public wants, Ill play the way I want to play, Mr. Tucker once reflected. Ive always tried to play the music people are fond of and play it the way they want to hear and the way it is easy to dance to. I made it a point to know what the public liked and did my best to please them.

News, trafc, weather. Now.

Police take on new role along front lines of mental health system
training from B1 health training. Now, with financially strapped state and local governments cutting community-based mental health programs, the pressures on police could mount as more people become untethered from treatment. Perhaps more than any other police force in Virginia, Fairfaxs has seen upclose the fallout from a shrinking mental health system. It was along Route 1 that an unarmed 52-year-old man with mental illness was shot and killed by police in 2009 after he had ripped flowers out of a planter. And it was outside the county police station in Chantilly that two officers were killed almost five years ago, shot by a disturbed 18-year-old whose family had struggled to obtain care for their son. Never before had a Fairfax officer been slain in the line duty. Wilson was working that day and remembers the harrowing transmissions that came over the radio after gunfire erupted outside the Sully station May 8, 2006. Detective Vicky O. Armel and Officer Michael E. Garbarino were mortally wounded. So was the shooter, Michael W. Kennedy, who was felled by other officers. As Wilson was describing her encounter with the suicidal man on Route 1, her mind drifted to Armel and Garbarino, and to Kennedy. Did any of them have to die, Wilson wondered? What if somebody had sat down and changed his meds, she asked of Kennedy, or somebody had convinced him to get help? We wouldnt have those two names on the wall. And even in Fairfax, where the countys wealth helps supplement state mental health funding, the mental health mobile crisis unit hasnt grown since it was created three decades ago. Since then, Fairfaxs population and the police force have each nearly doubled in size. So, much as in 1981, a single mobile team of two mental health workers is available at any given time, which often means that police are on their own.

A hand to clasp
The mobile crisis unit, headquartered in Annandale 13 traffic-choked miles from Fort Belvoir, never made it to the bridge. One of the police departments crisis negotiators, Officer Tommy Thompson, arrived about a half-hour into the standoff. He knew Wilson, and he was encouraged that she was the one on the bridge. He hasnt jumped, Thompson remembers thinking, so shes doing something right. Now he needed a way to join her. It was getting cold, so he took Wilson her coat. Once he delivered it, the jumper was adamant that Thompson retreat, which he did, but not before whispering a message to Wilson. You have to convince this guy to allow me to come back, he said. Wilson did what she could to talk up Thompson, telling the man what a good guy he was. About 10 minutes later, she nodded to Thompson, who walked out nice and slow, he recalled. The man still was standing at the edge and wasnt saying much. For a moment, he opened up. He had checked himself out of Mount Vernon Hospital after a conflict with the staff, and he had lost his spot at the county-run homeless shelter just south of the bridge. But even as he talked, the man continued to flirt with the edge. Please dont do that! the officers shouted again and again. At one point, he stepped away from the edge. Then, without warning, he returned to the precipice. Wilson imagined the nightmares she would have if he jumped. You dont ever want that to be an image in your head, she said. Finally, the man began to take a couple of steps toward them. It was dark. Nearly an hour had passed since the call first came in. Grab my hand. Grab my hand, Wilson said as she and Thompson stepped slowly backward, leading the way off the bridge. Officers converged, but no one moved to tackle or handcuff the man. Instead, Wilson took his hand. That was my handcuff, holding him, she said. It was also saying, Thank you, that you allowed us to come into your life, that you allowed us to help you.

DAYNA SMITH FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Fairfax Officer Leanna Wilson shows how a man reacted after she helped talk him out of jumping off this bridge on Route 1.

Taking time to talk

At first, the man refused to let Wilson join him on the bridge. But after she explained that she couldnt hear him well enough from the road, he agreed to let her come up. Just you, the man warned. Built as a supply conduit for the Army base, the nearly 16-foot-high crossing had been out of use since at least the 1980s. The iron rails are still intact across much of the 195-foot-long span, but the wooden beams below are pocked with holes big enough to swallow someones step. I am deathly afraid of heights, Wilson said. I stepped out on the bridge, and I almost fainted. The man was about 30 feet away, she said, far enough that he could leap before she would ever have a chance to grab him. If this was going to end well, the man would have to be talked down. In a job that rewards and even relishes action, taking the time to talk to a troubled soul is no small matter. An officer

who lingers at a call can be razzed by colleagues, Wilson said. Its just so much easier to put the handcuffs on, take them to jail and youre done with them, said Wilson, a former Army reservist who double-majored in criminology and sociology at Roanoke College. But youre not solving anything. During the countys crisis intervention training, which has been completed by about 150 Fairfax officers, one boss after another hammered home the importance of listening to those in crisis. It came naturally to Wilson, whod set her sights on becoming a police officer the day a K-9 unit visited her Prince Georges County elementary school. Yeah, thats what I want to do, she remembers thinking. She was 24 when she graduated from the academy and started patrolling the Route 1 corridor. The job gave her exactly what she was looking for: career security and the chance to help people such as the desperate man on the bridge. So, with traffic backed up in both directions on Route 1, she tried to initiate a conversation with him. In fitful snippets, she learned fragments of his story: He had lost his house and then his job, and he had spent time in the psychiatric ward at Inova Mount Vernon Hospital. Later, she would learn more. That he was 31 and college educated. That he had

been a federal contractor, working overseas at U.S. embassies. But when his home here was mistakenly placed into foreclosure while he was on assignment in Madagascar, the mans security clearance was jeopardized, and his company cut him loose. His world, Wilson recalled later, had just gone right into the sinkhole. As they talked, he kept one foot planted on the edge of the bridge.

This is not our job

On a rainy morning last month, about a dozen Fairfax officers were on the roof of the county police academy learning what its like to confront someone on the edge. A man in black pants, black windbreaker and black sunglasses was talking about the voices he was hearing. Im following orders, but I dont want to die, he told officers Brian Bowers and Sabrina Gonzalez. The man was a few feet from a plunge that could kill him. I dont want you to die, either, Bowers responded. I want you to talk to me. The being is always sending me messages telling me Im bad, the jumper said. I dont think youre bad, Bowers said. Youre not bad, Gonzalez said. It was the sort of role-playing that Wilson had gone through six months earlier. Now, other officers were listening to lectures on bipolar disorder, drug ad-

diction, hoarding and autism, and taking turns wrestling with when to act and when to listen. I would have handcuffed you in 90 seconds, Officer Joseph Thompson later told David Florence, the retired mental health worker who played the role of the suicidal schizophrenic on the roof. Sure, Thompson had engaged in the kind of back-and-forth that the exercise encouraged. But the four-year veteran never would have done that in a real-life situation, he said. With his hands in his pockets and refusing to retreat from the edge, the schizophrenic was a potential threat perhaps to himself, perhaps to the officers, Thompson said. Im not going to talk to you for 20 minutes when you could have two guns in your pockets. It was one of many efforts that week by Thompson and other officers to make sense of their evolving roles. More than one asked why they were doing what they saw as other peoples work and what had happened to the states mental health system. This is not our job, one officer said during a discussion of Virginias commitment laws. Like almost a dozen other states, Virginia has been cutting back inpatient and community care for the mentally ill, according to a recent report by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

BOOK WORLD

In Rome, an eternally dull reunion

BY

R ON C HARLES

t a recent neighborhood party, a well-read friend blurted out something terrifying. Im bored with fiction, she said. Im tired of novels about me. Shes a smart, middleaged woman, the kind of character we meet again and again in any number of beautifully choreographed novels about the way we live now. Dinner went on without a pause, but I could hear panic in the great publishing houses 250 miles north. As Ian McEwan said, When women stop reading, the novel will be dead. But how many novels are already dead? I dont mean the zombie mashups that keep beating their little joke into a bloody pulp. Im talking about THE LOVE OF those somber, imporMY YOUTH tant books that moan By Mary out of New York every Gordon year in search of the Pantheon. 80,000 people who 302 pp. still care deeply $25.95 about contemporary literature. Amid the nuclear winter thats fallen over bookstores and book sections, it seems treasonous to complain about a serious book after all, we invented the term literary fiction because dull novels sounded so unkind but is it any wonder that millions of intelligent adults would prefer a boy wizard or a Swedish serial killer? Mary Gordons latest, The Love of My Youth, makes for an unfortunate example of the finely wrought, tepid novel. Its lovely and thoughtful, the kind of story one really would like to finish someday.

If she went with Sarah Burton, that would be kind of amazing really a statement, Burstell says. Having worked all that time with McQueen, Burton is an expert on the drop-dead gown.

CIA spills secrets of invisible ink

Spy agency releases six WWI-era documents deemed no longer sensitive

Special to The Washington Post

P ETER F INN

So you want to open sealed envelopes without getting caught? Heres the secret, according to one of the six oldest classified documents in possession of the Central Intelligence Agency: Mix 5 drams copper acetol arsenate. 3 ounces acetone and add 1 pint amyl alcohol (fusil-oil). Heat in water bath steam rising will dissolve the sealing material of its mucilage, wax or oil. But theres a warning for the intrepid spy: Do not inhale fumes. Nearly a century after it was written, the recipe was released Tuesday by the CIA as part of a cache of six World War I-era documents. The documents, which deal mostly with invisible ink, date from 1917 and 1918 predating the agency itself by decades. When historical information is no longer sensitive, we take seriously our responsibility to share it with the American people, CIA Director Leon Panetta said in a statement announcing the release. One document lists chemicals and techniques to create invisible ink for what is charmingly called secret writing.

Kate Hudson Sean Penn Michael Stipe Bristol Palin Steven Tyler

A less-appetizing dinner this year?

K
ate Hudson is coming to dinner with the president. So are Sean Penn and Michael Stipe. And, as was probably inevitable, Bristol Palin has finally scored an invitation. We speak, of course, of the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, coming up April 30 and its not just you theres been somewhat less buzz for the annual media-politicalshowbiz happening. Blame the crush of real news, the distraction of the royal wedding, or everyone being gone for the religious holidays. Blame, too, the fierce competition for tickets to the increasingly glitzy event, leaving media organizations hesitant to brag about their VIP guests until theyre sure theyve got a seat for everyone. But a red carpet lineup is slowly coalescing, in whispers and leaks. Greta Van Susteren of Fox will bring Hudson; Penn is coming with David Corn of Mother Jones; and REMs Stipe will be sitting at an NPR table, along with David Byrne. Palin will be a guest of People, which has also wrangled Steven Tyler, Mindy Kaling of The Office and one of those Glee kids, Chris Colfer. His co-star, Matthew Morrison, apparently didnt loathe the dinner last year; hes back again, were told. Bloomberg has tapped Shaun White, that red-headed snowboarder, and Brooke Burke, that lady from Dancing With the Stars. Who else? Steve Buscemi, with Time, and Paul Rudd, with ABC. Other names floating around: Jon Hamm, Anna Paquin, Mike Mills and scads of SNL folk in support of their head writer and co-star, Seth Meyers, who is scheduled to entertain POTUS and the 3,000some guests at the Washington Hilton. Also: A lot of important journalists and government officials, but no one really cares about any of them anymore, do they? Memo to paparazzi: The eliteyet-mobbed pre-dinner brunch, traditionally held in the Palisades back yard of media operative Tammy Haddad, is being moved to the Georgetown mansion of rich guy Mark Ein. (Honorary cohosts are Wendi Murdoch and Susan Axelrod.) Memo to crashers: They say you really cant get in this year.

 Willow Smith and Colbie Caillat will perform at the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday. Officials also announced a roster of celebrities tapped for storybook-reading and eggrolling duties at the annual event: Kelly Ripa, John Lithgow, Kristi Yamaguchi and Ryan Zimmerman, among others.  Palace officials announced Tuesday that they will broadcast the British royal wedding (a cause for global celebration) in streaming live video on YouTube. Because, you know, itll probably be really hard to find on TV. (Ha.) Prince Williams press office will also provide an official live blog. So modern.

UPDATE

More trouble for Three Cups of Tea author Greg Mortenson: On the heels of Sundays damning 60 Minutes report, Jon Krakauer released Three Cups of Deceit, a digital expose of the best-selling writer. Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air, was an early supporter of Mortenson and his Central Asia Institute, giving $75,000 to the organization. But he said he cut off ties after watching Mortenson make millions by using the

charitys donations to promote his book tours and speaking engagements. The final straw: Krakauer said he finally got around to reading Mortensons book last year, and said many of the claims about schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan and a kidnapping by the Taliban are lies. Mortenson started with noble intentions and a great idea, Krakauer said in a statement. He has built dozens of schools that have educated thousands of kids in Pakistan and

Afghanistan. He deserves credit for that. But very soon after he launched CAI, he lost his moral bearings. He betrayed the trust of countless people, including myself. Mortenson still has a few supporters: A State Department official who met with him overseas told us that the Pakistan communities where hes worked have tremendous goodwill and respect for him. This is much more than a writers feud: Mortenson has sold 5 million

print copies of Three Cups of Tea and aggressively used the book to solicit almost $60 million in donations for the charity he founded and runs. Publisher Viking announced Monday it is launching an investigation into the books claims. In a statement, Mortenson said hes having heart surgery this week and not addressing media questions until he recovers.

Scamper embraces the nature of change

BY

N ELSON P RESSLEY

Things to love about Run Through the Unquiet Mind, the in-process piece about two survivalist brothers being chased across the wilds of Utah:  The way Scot McKenzie, as the older, tougher brother named True, holds himself on the stage of the Rasmuson Theater at the National Museum of the American Indian. With his wide stance and belly slightly forward, he looks like a bear and sniffs the air like one, too. You can tell Trues a man, though, by the rifle with the fancy scope hes squinting through.  The ferocity of Dylan Myers as younger brother Early, first glimpsed in a tight grid of light that tells us hes in prison. The wiry Myers, shirtless and in ripped jeans, kicks off the show with a series of furious push-ups and near-manic rants about the crime his character had committed. The gritty acting and scenario have a cable-ready edge.  The use of sound and space in Rasmuson, an unusually handsome auditorium that deliberately brings ideas of nature inside. Its a round, warm room, with irregular wood plank walls and pin-light stars in the wavy dark-blue ceiling perfect for a tale of two roughnecks who pride themselves on living off the grid and in sync with Mother Earth. And that sound. Wind. Water. Quiet, then a distant gunshot. As actors, McKenzie and Myers are impressively at ease with stillness. 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, and it was begun only six weeks ago; its bound to change. 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-commit-

CIA shares secrets of secret WWI writing

spies from C1 formula that Germans apparently used for invisible writing during World War I. All of the documents can be viewed at www.cia.gov in the sites Freedom of Information Act Electronic Reading Room. They will also be available at the National Archives. The six documents were first held by the Office of Naval Intelligence during World War I, and at least one was obtained from the French. But, as the CIA said Tuesday, the intended recipients of all this secret stuff are not always clear. One document listing seven formulas is on Commerce Department letterhead, and a chemist at the Bureau of Standards recommends that some of the invisible ink solutions be used with a quill pen rather than a steel pen because of the risk of corrosion. Another document in the collection was intended to teach U.S. postal inspectors how to detect secret ink. The pamphlet, listing 50 possible scenarios in which invisible ink could be employed, was prepared by a handwriting expert in San Francisco. There are a number of other methods used by spies and smugglers, according to the skill and education of the criminals, such as placing writings under postage stamps, wrapping messages in medicine capsules and engraving messages . . . on toe-nails, which later would be made visible with powdered charcoal, the expert, Theodore Kytka, wrote at the time. The rule is to suspect or examine every possible thing. The war between the spy or forger and the expert is continually bringing out new methods. Any material describing secret writing falls under the CIAs purview to declassify, the agency said. The documents still bear stamps showing that they remained exempt from declassification as recently as 1978, although some had been downgraded from secret to confidential. Some of the methods seem wonderfully archaic, such as carrying solution absorbed into ironed handkerchiefs or starched collars. The article thus treated is later on again put in water and a solution obtained, which can be used for invisible ink, according to one document. The best means for developing are iodite of potassium. It seems a tad odd that this kind of material would be classified for nearly 100 years when every child with a little lemon juice and a Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew novel has dabbled in invisible writing. But, the agency said, this was all once a seriously secret business. The methods behind sophisticated invisible writing didnt change for many decades. In 1999, the agency rejected a Freedom of Information Act request to release the six documents, asserting that doing so could be expected to damage the national security. Asked Tuesday why it took so long to release the documents, a CIA spokeswoman said that in recent years, the chemistry of making secret ink and the lighting used to detect it has greatly improved. In other words, it is only now that the agency can tell us some of the fun stuff one can do in a bathtub.

A TALE OF TWO ROUGHNECKS: Dylan Myers, foreground, and Scot McKenzie play survivalist brothers who live off the grid in Run Through the Unquiet Mind."

tee drama. McKenzie and Myers co-wrote with Christopher Gallu, who co-directed with McKenzie, and 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 (he used to make the boys find their way home from the deep woods), 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.

Pressing question: Who is making Kates dress?

dress from C1 the British label Issa, who made that smart sapphire silk jersey number Middleton wore for her engagement announcement last fall. At another point, British designers Erdum and Alice Temperley were rumored to have been tapped. Last week, the name of longtime British designer Jasper Conran a 1980s star and son of interiors man Sir Terence Conran of the Conran Shop popped up. And this week, a dark horse emerged: little-known Sophie Cranston, who has a small company called Libelula and made headlines in January by dressing Middleton in a figure-flattering black velvet coat over a sheer black top for a friends wedding in Yorkshire. Fleet Street went bananas over the outfit, declaring that Middleton shockingly went braless and denouncing the color choice. Remember: Williams ancestor Queen Victoria wore mourning black every day for her remaining 40 years after the death of her husband, Prince Albert. Hope you wont wear black on April 29, Kate, the Daily Mail sniffed. Royal family officials insist that no one other than Middletons bridal party and her designer will know who made the dress until she steps out of the Rolls-Royce in front of Westminster Abbey on her wedding morning. The aim is to protect Prince William from knowing anything about the dress something all brides do on their wedding day, Prince Charless press secretary, Patrick Harrison, told reporters this month. But this week, the Daily Mail reported that Cranston has finished the dress, that it is ivory satin and lace with a 10-foot train, that it is based on Middletons ideas, which were inspired by the gown Lady Diana Spencer wore at her wedding to Prince Charles, and that it is under lock and key at Clarence House, Charless residence. All this secrecy is a departure from when Williams mother, Diana, married his father, Prince Charles, in 1981. Not long after 10,000 hand-embroidered pearls and sequins, and a 25-foot train. She decided it was a fairy-tale wedding, and so we had to create a fantasy wedding dress, Emanuel recalls. And thats whats we aimed for. It was a transformation dress, from a kindergarten teacher into a princess, with the most amazing wedding ever, at St. Pauls Cathedral and with carriages. We wanted to do a dress that would match up to not only Dianas expectations but also the 750 million people who were watching. Though the dress was never reproduced by the Emanuels, it was knocked off immediately. As she walked down the aisle, people were sketching it, Emanuel remembers. The next day, there were copies for sale all over London. The gown launched the Emanuels career they later wrote a book about it called A Dress for Diana, though they are now divorced and gave a much-needed boost to the British fashion industry. Suddenly, Emanuel says, British designers were up there on the world stage. Middleton hopes to do the same. The Issa dress she wore for her engagement announcement sold out within hours. The phone was ringing off the hook, says Libertys Burstell. London-based online retailer Net-a-Porter carries it for $535, and it sells out immediately after each shipment arrives. Theres no keeping it in stock, a Net-a-Porter spokeswoman says. British supermarket chain Tesco has produced a shortsleeved version that sells for $25. Although secrecy surrounds the wedding gown, bits of Middletons other fashion choices have leaked. A spokesman for Aristoc, a British legwear company, says Middleton has selected stockings from its bridal range. The British press believes that Victoria Beckham will design Middletons outfit for when the couple board their plane for their honeymoon, thought to be in Jordan. Last week, Middleton was spotted in the VIP salon of Londons Selfridges department store with her mother, Carole, and her sister and maid of honor, Pippa, trying on dozens of stilettos by shoe brand Gina. Middletons longtime hairstylist, James Pryce of Chelseas Richard Ward Salon, will do her do upon which she is expected to wear a Windsor tiara of her choice and Ward will tend to Carole and Pippa. Fleet Street also reports that Middleton will wear diamond and pearl earrings, though it is not known whether they will come from the Windsor vault. Once married, Middleton is expected to continue supporting British fashion, as Michelle Obama has with young American talent. But unlike Obama, Kate will be a princess and inhabit the conservative world of the palaces, the horse races at Ascot, polo matches and a lot more pomp and circumstance, says Robb Young, author of Power Dressing: First Ladies, Women Politicians & Fashion, published in February by Merrell. Kate has to be very careful not to appear haughty or out of touch. Young suggests she follow the leads of Princess Letizia of Spain and Queen Rania, who have a modern, informal style. As far as royal style icons go, these two are probably the closest big shots for Kate to take a few cues from, he says. Middleton is also going to follow the lead of Victoria and break a bit of wedding convention: Sometime after the ceremony, she will auction her dress and donate the proceeds to charities, including her future father-in-laws Princes Trust. I think Kate Middleton understands the power of her choices, Burstell says, and she is going to be supportive of and have a lot of initiatives around British fashion.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: Writers had declared that Sarah Burtons label was making the wedding gown.

LIBELULA: Little-known Sophie Cranstons label emerged this week as a dark horse.

Diana made headlines wearing a smart black dress designed by British designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel to her first public event with Charles, it was announced that the pair would be designing her wedding gown, too. Diana herself telephoned us and asked us, Would you do me the honor of making my wedding dress? It was a life-changing moment, Elizabeth Emanuel recalled last week from her studio in London. We had always hoped and dreamed wed get the commission, but we were young and just out of college, and there were other experienced designers around. She points out that keeping the design a secret wasnt as difficult then as it is today. In 1981, we didnt have computers and certainly not mobile telephones, she said. Today, there

would be so much pressure on the designer, with people trying to get photos any way possible. Can you imagine? Princesses wedding dresses have been a public obsession since Princess Victoria of England married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Until then, brides traditionally wore color, and white was for mourning. Breaking convention, Victoria walked down the aisle of the Chapel Royal of St. Jamess Palace in London dressed in a white satin gown trimmed with white lace, matching her veil and crown of orange blossoms. Soon, upper-class brides were wearing virginal white and lace. Throughout World War II, brides opted for demure suits, often with a pretty corsage. But big white taffeta gowns came

roaring back in the 1950s, the styles often set by celebrities and princesses-to-be. In 1950, MGM wardrobe designer Helen Rose made Elizabeth Taylors white satin wedding dress with seed pearls and a sweetheart neckline for her first marriage, to Conrad Hilton, and it was quickly knocked off and worn by brides around the world. Rose also made the dress that Grace Kelly wore to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956. That dress a high-neckline, longsleeve ball gown of silk taffeta and antique Valenciennes rose-point lace was one of the most copied ever. For Dianas wedding to Charles, the Emanuels created, per Dianas specifications, an antique white silk taffeta fairy-tale confection with loads of ruffles, huge puffed sleeves, an enormous full skirt,

Studio scores with Walshs sisters act

BY

P ETER M ARKS

The three sisters of Enda Walshs The New Electric Ballroom are, like the celebrated siblings of Chekhovs play, 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 longingly for her chance to create her own passionate memories. This gracefully acted, 90-minute drama completes the three-play festival of Walshs work that Studio Theatre has so lovingly assembled. And while The New Electric Ballroom does not come close to the dynamic level of Penelope the biting, absurdist riff on The Odyssey that commenced this intriguing survey of the writers recent works it is in its own softer way an engaging illumination of loves la-

bors losses. Although the time seems to be the present, the situation and surroundingsofBallroomfeeltemporally frozen, the way things tend to, in a sleepy Irish fishing village. The sense of time standing still is reinforced in the brightly colored articles hanging on the wall of the sisters spare cottage: three party outfits from a night out long ago, when Breda and Clara each had a flickering moment of carnal possibility. We dont want to be alone, but we are alone, says the most aggressive of the sisters, Breda, played by Lines with an effective, brittle authority. The exertions of Breda and Clara the latter in Robinettes finely chirping performance forever going on about the marvels of her tinyfeetmostlyconcerndimming the expectations of Ada, who shufflesalongunderaperpetualcloudin Mendenhalls expertly self-contained portrayal. The director, Matt Torney, who handled the same duties in Studios third Walsh offering, The Walworth Farce, firmly and sensitively shepherds his actors through the landscape of their characters reveries. The psychic perspective of Ball-

room is the reverse of that in Penelope, in which the assorted suitors for the title character live in dread anticipation of their approaching doom; 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. Torneys sound guidance includes eliciting a delightful performance from the evenings fourth player, Liam Craig, in the role of the aptly named Patsy, a fishmonger and inveterate gossip who shows up regularly at the sisters door with fresh seafood. I come with the tide, he declares, and indeed, Patsy seems a washed-up product of the seaside until a whiff of sex enters the room, rendered with almost sullen sparseness by set designer Debra Booth. It is the change in the womens attitude toward Patsy, from contempt to something warmer, that ignites the plays one electric interlude: Patsy assumes the part of the wooerinBredaandClarasamorous fantasy, and serenades Ada with a lounge singers masculine sultri-

ness. Craig adds an admirable air of the enigmatic to Patsys surprising transformation. 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.

Billy Collinss latest, Horoscopes for the Dead (Random House, $24), continues and deepens the exploration of love and mortality that began in his previous collection Ballistics. Yet as readers will quickly notice, Collinss acute awareness of lifes limits seems to have softened his tone. His trademark humor, while still present, is subtle, and most of the work is invitingly thoughtful. A poem about baldness and time travel, for example, is followed by one in which he remembers that no one / who ever breasted the waters of time / has figured out a way to avoid dying. Meditations about friendship, marriage and a loyal old dog interweave with those on loss. Even his most chilling observations about death, in a poem called Thank-You Notes, are balanced by a gentle, innocuous opening: Under the vigilant eye of my mother / I had to demonstrate my best penmanship. What Horoscopes lacks in originality of subject matter how many poets have addressed mortality? Collins makes up for with an appealing perspective that should attract new followers. For different reasons the same can be said about Marge Piercys new and selected poems. The Hunger Moon (Knopf, $30) spans 30 years and follows her transformation from a radical feminist to a woman whose ideas and values mirror those of mainstream Americans. In these consistently strong and accessible poems, Piercy writes as confidently about handbags We have marsupial instincts as she does about women who were murdered on an ordinary morning of helping / other women choose / to be or not to be / pregnant. As the collection progresses, Piercy addresses marriage, family relations and religion, and she finds a contentment that her own mother never knew. She also shows, page by page, that activism and the ordinary joys of living can and do coexist.

RECONNECTED: Former lovers Adam and Miranda reunite in Rome in Mary Gordons The Love of My Youth. Its been nearly 40 years since theyve seen each other, and they walk the Eternal City together, talking about life and art. Their pompous conversations, however, are less than believable.

Melancholy Roman holiday

book world from C1 invites them to a comically disastrous dinner in Rome. Their awkward reunion scratches open old hurts and desires. Gordon moves fluidly between them, catching Adams need for forgiveness and Mirandas determination to prove that she has flourished in the decades since he betrayed her. Although theyre both happily married to others, circumstances have dropped them in Italy for the next three weeks, and Adam proposes that they meet each morning. What I would like is to promise you that we will see one beautiful thing every day, he tells Miranda. Well walk and talk. Well see what happens. Not very much does. Gordon is a brilliant writer of fiction and nonfiction, but theres a pomposity about this novel that suffocates it. Each short chapter starts with a date and a place, e.g. Monday, October 15: Santa Cecilia, along with an evocative phrase taken from that days conversation, e.g. What Are We Getting but Glimpses. The books affected title should have given me a clue, but chapter after chapter, I kept listening for some note of irony or self-deprecating humor in those pithy epigraphs. Alas, alack, it never came: I Wish We Had Realized That We Were Beautiful, Were We Wrong to Be So Hopeful?, Why Is It There Are Some Things We Arent Meant to See? Its like being trapped at your 30-year reunion with the treacly editor of the old high school literary magazine. In the city, Miranda and Adam come and go, talking of Michelangelo. They see the Piazza di Santa Maria, the Via Arenula, the chapel of San Carlino and a dozen other interesting places that serve as a literary tour of Rome. They reflect on the value of art, the meaning of death, the depth of ones responsibilities to the world. Gordon, who studied in Rome on a grant from Barnard College, where she teaches English, lets this glorious city guide their conversation through matters personal and philosophical, but for many chapters they avoid the tender matter of their old breakup. Adams life was dedicated to music, Mirandas to social activism. He reminds her, When we were young together and we spoke so easily in such high terms, you said, I want to relieve suffering. And I said, I want to create beauty. Theyve both seen their ideals and their ardor tempered by disappointment and by time. It excites her to be speaking in this way, Miranda thinks, a way she no longer speaks, but I kept wondering, Did anybody ever speak this way? She is carried by the wave of their talk; she doesnt want to be let down onto the shore of ordinary speech. The frothy earnestness of their conversation becomes harder and harder to endure. It reminded me of the guest at a Transcendental Club meeting at Ralph Waldo Emersons house who described the group sitting around wondering, Who will now proceed to say the finest thing that has ever been said? Three longer chapters periodically interrupt their progress around Rome and take us back to the United States during the 1960s, when Miranda and Adam fell desperately in love as high schoolers. This relief from their profound daily walks provides some necessary drama, along with a sweet portrayal of teenage romance heated in the crucible of self-righteousness. But the suspense over their mysterious betrayal gets stretched far too thin. When the great revelation finally arrives, it only confirms that young lovers almost always betray each other in the usual way, no matter how overwrought their memories of that tragedy may be.

The Chameleon Couch (Farrar Straus Giroux, $24), by Yusef Komunyakaa, may provide an entry point for readers who are intimidated by the grandeur and intellectual rigor of his work. His 14th book of poems spans several continents and uses historical, mythical and musical references to address both large-scale atrocities and personal losses. Komunyakaas language is vivid, as always, and he changes subject matter effortlessly, whether hes writing about gargoyles, cultural notions of beauty, former lovers or Jews murdered during World War II. Many of his poems are lovely, as is Ode to the Chameleon: you are a glimpse / of a rainbow, your eyes an iota / of amber. If nature is mind, / it knows you are always / true, daring the human eye / to see deeper. The most welcome surprise is the poets openness in this collection, his most personal and inviting yet.

Mary Gordons latest, The Love of My Youth, makes for an unfortunate example of the finely wrought, tepid novel. Its lovely and thoughtful, the kind of story one really would like to finish someday.

Growing up between cultures and mothers

BY

W ENDY S MITH

hilpi Somaya Gowda strikes a pleasing balance in her first novel, which draws upon the hotbutton issues of female infanticide and overseas adoption. A No. 1 bestseller in Canada, Secret Daughter tells a nuanced coming-of-age story that is faithful to the economic and emotional realities of two very different cultures. Kavita and Jasu are peasants in rural India. When Kavita gives birth to a second daughter in 1984, she knows her husband will take the infant to be killed if she does not act quickly. They cannot afford to raise a girl, he reminds her; they need a son to help in the fields. To save the infants life, Kavita leaves her at an orphanage in Bombay. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a physician named Somer has just learned that she will never be able to have a baby. Her husband, Kris, persuades her to adopt a child from Bombay, his home town. But once the couple arrives in India, Somer feels awkward with Kriss family and out of place. Shes eager to go home with their beautiful new daughter, Asha.

UNWANTED? In Secret Daughter, an Indian peasant gives birth to a child she must give up for adoption.

SECRET DAUGHTER By Shilpi Somaya Gowda Morrow. 346 pp. Paperback, $13.99

Gowda, whose parents emigrated from India to Canada, alternates between these two couples as she sketches events over the next 20 years. Kavita and Jasu finally have a son, Vijay, and move to Bombay (renamed Mumbai in the 90s) to give him a better life. Somer and Kris find themselves growing apart as she shifts her medical career into low gear to care for Asha. Kris, a high-powered surgeon,

misses Somers intellectual companionship and resents her reluctance to visit India. Teenage Asha, painfully curious about her biological mother, also becomes frustrated by Somers lack of interest in her Indian heritage. As the author moves among the perspectives of her various characters, she gives full weight to the humanity of each and views the problems of poverty and

affluence with equal empathy. The two narrative strands come closer together in the novels second half, when Asha gets a college fellowship to study impoverished children and goes to live with Kriss parents in Mumbai. Somer and Kris disagree bitterly over this decision and become estranged. Meanwhile, in Mumbai, Kavita and Jasu are drawn together by their worries over Vijay, whos making money in an illegal business. Gowda doesnt neaten up the messy complications of family life as she warmly affirms the power of love to help people grow and change. In Mumbai, Asha gains a longed-for connection to her Indian roots, as well as an appreciation of Somers maternal nurturing. Kavita receives some solace for the wound that has ached ever since she gave her daughter away, but its not what readers might expect. Asha isnt the only character who grows up in Secret Daughter. Both sets of parents also come to terms with the imperfect choices they have made in response to lifes demands.

Ardency: A Chronicle of the Amistad Rebels (Knopf, $27.95), illustrates the challenges of recreating history, even for a poet as accomplished as Kevin Young. In his seventh collection, Young tells the story of the enslaved Africans who took over the Amistad and tried to sail home, but instead were captured and jailed. The poems chronicle the groups uprising, long fight for freedom and conversion to Christianity. In some places the work is flat, as if Young were trying too hard to speak for his subjects. The strongest sections are Correspondance, speeches and letters written from jail, and Witness, a libretto in the voice of Cinque, the leader of the Mendi. His hauntingly eloquent chants give voice to pain that religion cannot ease: Or is the soul / that hole / that will not heal / leaves, in its unleaving / the branch bare / the hawk that knows / alone, but does / not name it. Despite its flaws, Ardency is compelling and hints at the scope and depth of Youngs future efforts.

Jennifer Grotz is the relative newcomer in this group, but The Needle (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $23), her second book, should establish her as one of Americas best young poets. Where many writers look inward and mine their private landscapes, Grotz sees the objects and scenes around her. She notices a nuns distinctive jacket, for example, or an elderly man who walks with his wife each morning. Attentiveness brings her poems and the world alive. In Late Summer she writes: At your feet, a bee crawls in small circles like a toy unwinding. / Summer specializes in time, slows it down almost to dream. Grotzs perspective makes her work feel objective and insightful, even when she writes about family tragedies. Her ability to balance artistry and emotion results in buoyant poetry. bookworld@washpost.com

K.R.I.T. might not have the easygoing stoner persona that helped catapult Khalifa to stardom, but he may have already lapped his more famous friend in terms of talent. K.R.I.T.s recent Returnof4Eva mix tape shows that the 24-year-old has wide-screen ambitions and the skills to match, pairing vivid stories with precise beats. He performs this weekend at Jaxx and U Street Music Hall with opener Freddie Gibbs, another rapper for whom bigger things await and whose casually ferocious delivery has already made him one of the best MCs around. Saturday at 8 p.m. Jaxx, 6355 Rolling Rd., Springfield. 703-569-5940. www.jaxxroxx.com. $13 in advance; $15 at the door.

Should you really see a band with 666 in its name on Easter? Hey, we just tell you what your options are. But it would be a pity to miss out on the Puerto Rican-style party punk of Davila 666 at the Black Cat. The groups six members all take the surname Davila, and the Ramones tribute is no mistake. Like their heroes, the sextet makes sure to get plenty of bubble-gum hooks into their songs, and even though the lyrics are entirely in Spanish, Davila 666 proves that a good pop song is universal.

By the time Federico Aubele recorded Berlin 13, his fourth album for Eighteenth Street Lounge Music, the Buenos Aires native had figured out his perfect sound: a Panamerican blend of deep, bassy dub rhythms interlaced with hip-hop beats and bursts of Latin percussion, and overlayed with sinuous classic guitar melodies, the occasional accordion riff, smoky Spanishlanguage vocals and strange, dark electronic samples. Berlin 13, recorded in the German capital, is Aubeles most urban album yet, and its exactly what you can imagine listening to in a stylish lounge or hip cafe as the midnight hour fades away. The album was released Tuesday, but Aubele celebrates next week with a premiere party at the Rock & Roll Hotel.

Even online, maybe is not a good RSVP response

Dear Miss Manners: In todays tech-centered lifestyle, almost all invitations for parties go out via Facebook or e-vite. Both sites give you the option of saying maybe I will attend, and often this list is longer than the Yes list. With the cost of invitation cards, postage and everyone moving so much, I know that written invitations are quickly becoming a thing of the past, but is there some way to make people take online invitations more seriously? I am trying to plan a birthday party and dont know if 20 or 50 people are going to be showing up due to the 30 maybes on my guest list. I find this so frustrating but dont know how to make it clear to my friends that I need a yes or no answer. basic set of silver for formal entertaining. With the price of silver these days, I dont think theres any other way were going to get it! My fiance is not sure the check wouldnt be the better option, but while we sort that question out, could you let me know what would be a good starter set for silver?

What a generous grandmother you have. Checks have a way of disappearing into

other needs, but choosing a present and presuming that silver is within the budget she suggested it will always be a pleasure for you and for her, in that you think of it as Grandmothers silver. The basic starter set for table silver differs from what is generally packaged because unless your primary form of entertainment will be giving tea parties, teaspoons are much less useful than larger oval spoons.

A truly basic setting would be: large fork and knife for main courses, small fork for salad and dessert, large oval spoon for soup and dessert. You then have a lifetime ahead of you in which (if you are as crazy as Miss Manners) to collect specialized implements and serving pieces.
Dear Miss Manners: Is it appropriate to wear jeans to a funeral? The deceased was

an avid outdoorsman.

If he had been a swimmer, would you wear a bathing suit?

Why would you use a site that is hostile to hosts? When people refuse to answer invitations one way or the other, they are not only inconveniencing those who have kindly offered them hospitality but also insulting them. Anything more than a day to check calendars and partners smacks of hoping for something better to come along. Miss Manners is all too aware that the problem of hedging and total nonresponsiveness is not limited to electronic invitations. People who send engraved wedding invitations complain of the same. Still, electronic invitations have the appearance of being mass mailings about highly informal gatherings. It would not be much more trouble for you to send direct emails to each friend, and even Miss Manners knows how to copy those so that they seem individually composed. You may still have to nag delinquent individuals, as you must now, but at least you will not have posted dilly-dallying as an apparently legitimate option.
Dear Miss Manners: My grandmother has offered my fiance and me a choice: either a wedding gift of a certain (very generous) value, or a check of equal amount. I would love to ask her for a

MICHAEL ANSELL/ABC

COUGAR TOWN: Josh Hopkins, playing Grayson, helps Jules, portrayed by Courtney Cox, watch Ellies baby son.

HIGHLIGHTS

Heres some thrilling news for tweens who speed-text for their favorite contestants but dont recognize any of the songs theyre singing: The remaining Idolettes sing tunes from the 21st century on American Idol (Fox at 8) performance night. Mitchell and Cam are horrified when they look for a backup legal guardian for baby Lily on Modern Family (ABC at 9) and realize that no one in their kooky extended family may be up for the task. Nova (WETA and MPT at 9) airs Power Surge, which looks at efforts that could help with the threat of global warming, including clean coal and artificial trees. Even though Cameron severely dislikes the carobsessed Dutch (mostly because hes dating Camerons crush), Cam is forced to ask for his help when race-car driver Jimmie Johnson needs help fixing a speedway security breach on Breaking In (Fox at 9:30). The documentary Saving Pelican 895 (HBO at 9) looks at the collaboration between wildlife activists and government agencies to rescue hundreds of birds that were affected by the BP oil spill last year. Cougar Town (ABC at 9:30) returns to its regular Wednesday time slot, as Jules

and Ellie argue about what age is easiest to raise a baby, which, of course, results in Jules getting tricked into babysitting for Ellies son. Meanwhile, Andy acts as Lauries wingman when she gets back into the dating pool. British explorer Percy Fawcett is featured on Secrets of the Dead (WETA and MPT at 10), which looks at how the adventurer wound up disappearing in the Amazon jungle in 1925 while looking for a lost city. Max thinks that Daves sleepeating habit is the reason food is rapidly disappearing from his apartment but later learns thats not exactly the truth of the vanishing items on Happy Endings (ABC at 10). How do you create a delicious meal using gross bugs? Unfortunately, its not a trick question but just the latest cooking challenge for the experts on Top Chef Masters (Bravo at 10). Actor Tyler Perry visits Conan (TBS at 11), along with documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock and musical guest the Strokes. The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson (CBS at 12:35) hosts actor Michael Clarke Duncan and actress Lena Headey.

Thrones gets the royal renewal treatment

fter just one episode, hithungry HBO has renewed Game of Thrones for a second season. Thats because, the pay-cable network indicated in its announcement, the first episode grossed 4.2 million viewers over multiple plays, and TV critics gave the show a lot of thumbs up. Game of Thrones based on George R.R. Martins best-selling fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire is about kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and noblemen who live in a world in which summers can span decades, but where the winters, HBO admits, can last a lifetime. On the other hand, based on the mortality rate of the first episode, lifetime and decades may mean the same thing. In fact, decades may be the longer time frame. The residents of GoT live in towns that look like something held over from the sets in Monty Python and the Holy Grail though this is unlikely, given that the HBO show is, reportedly, the most expensive in TV history, costing $50 million over 10 episodes. As we write, J.J. Abrams is gnashing his teeth about having his record stomped on. And while the residents of the season-challenged GoT have mastered the art of the very sophisticated keep ye eye peeled for yon scary hippogriffs medieval-speak, the middle-aged men in particular all look as though theyve neglected to wash behind the ears for quite some time maybe even a whole winter. Breaking down that crowd of 4.2 million: The Thrones unveiling attracted an average of 2.2 million viewers at 9 p.m. Sunday about the same number of people as watched John Travolta and the cast of Welcome Back, Kotter, Michael J. Fox and the cast of Family Ties, and Bill Cosby and the cast of The Cosby Show during tributes on TV Lands ninth annual awards show in the same hour. (TV Land says it was the mostwatched-ever edition of its trophy show.) But GoTs unveiling crowd of 2.2 million is only about half as many people as caught the rerun of Disney Channels new flick Lemonade Mouth (4.5 million)

the 800,000 who watched the rererun at 11 p.m.-ish Sunday, and you have your 4.2 mil, mentioned in HBOs second-season pickup announcement. HBO took no chances with GoT, presenting the first episode about a dozen times by the end of Monday.

Travels with Charlie

Charlie Sheens publicist said Tuesday afternoon that his clients Violent Torpedo of Truth tour stop in Washington that night would have to start an hour late at 9 p.m. instead of the previously announced 8 p.m. Thats because Sheen had decided rather suddenly to fly to Los Angeles to plead his side to a judge Tuesday morning in a Los Angeles courtroom hearing. But it wasnt the court hearing youre thinking of the one in which a judge in Santa Monica was going to decide whether Sheens $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Two and a Half Men co-creator Chuck Lorre will be tried in court or arbitrated privately. This court was in downtown Los Angeles, where there was yet another custody battle between Sheen and Brooke Mueller over their twins. Sheen wanted joint custody, and hopped on a plane and flew to Los Angeles to say so in person to the judge. (The judge ruled that their joint custody arrangement will remain the same as the one they settled on in early March.) At press time, Sheen was flying to Washington to appear at DAR Constitution Hall. Over in Santa Monica, the judge has heard both sides and is mulling. But Sheen may have scored a small, if mostly symbolic, win when the judge granted some members of the medias requests, allowing a single video camera to be present. Sheens attorneys want the whole kerfuffle to be thrashed out in front of the media, while Warner Bros. and Lorre argue that it should be thrashed out privately, in arbitration, per the terms of the arbitration clause in Sheens contract with Warner Bros. for his services on Two and a Half Men. Sheen filed the lawsuit shortly after Warner Bros. sacked him from the hit CBS sitcom.

GAME ON: Sean Bean in the HBO series Game of Thrones, which has grossed 4.2 million viewers so far.

that same night. Lemonade Mouth, by the way, now stands as cables most watched movie of 2011 to date after premiering Friday night more than 5 million tuned in. Lemonade Mouth, like Game of Thrones, is based on a successful book in this case, just one, also called Lemonade Mouth. Its about the geniuses, good girls, offspring of convicted murderers and heirs of youngerchick-dating dads who meet in detention at their high school in a land where summers last from around June through August, and winters from around December through March. The students, naturally, form a band. The band will give them the super-strength they need to overcome . . . well, high school. Getting back to Game o Thrones and its unveiling on HBO: For comparisons sake, those 2.2 million who caught its very first telecast Sunday dont look like so much compared with the 5 million people who watched the unveiling of Martin Scorseses mobster drama Boardwalk Empire on HBO last September. Across multiple runs on its first night, Boardwalk grossed more than 7 million viewers. On the bright side, HBOs vampire drama True Blood coughed up only 1.44 million viewers when it premiered in fall of 08. After making its debut, HBO immediately reran GoT at 10 p.m.-ish, when it averaged 1.2 million more viewers. Were now up to 3.4 million. Throw in

CAROLYN HAX

Her mom despises her blue-collar boyfriend

Dear Carolyn: My mom basically despises my boyfriend, Tom, because he didnt graduate college and works a blue-collar job. She is so rude to him we cant even be around her. She defends this by saying that looking at us together makes her feel disgusted, she cant help how she feels, and shes being as nice as she can given the intensity of her feelings. Tom actually cried after our last dinner with my parents. Tom and I are 24, independently financially stable, and have lived together for six months another source of my mothers angst, but I suspect if I were shacking up with a more eligible bachelor, she would deal just fine. Although I am beyond furious at her treatment of Tom, I dont want to lose her. Our relationship no longer resembles the mother-daughter bond we used to have. Im also scared about what this is doing to my parents marriage. My dad is saying things to her in a tone Ive never heard before telling her that her behavior is unacceptable, that she needs to stop. She just gets defensive and yells at him. I dont want my relationship to be their undoing. I love Tom and could see us getting engaged in a year or two. However, Im actually thinking about breaking up with him over this, although I know evil shouldnt triumph. But I feel like hes on one side, and on the other side is my relationship with my mom AND my parents relationship AND the potential to have it all if I meet a college-educated suitor. (I feel like a horrible person saying this.) Mom vs. boyfriend

Wow. You just made countless adult children grateful for their parents passive aggression and subterfuge. Ill start with the (relatively) easy part: Youre not responsible for your parents marriage. You didnt cause their rift; youre merely the topic. The cause is the difference between their beliefs that this topic laid bare. It was there before Tom and it will remain if Tom goes away. As for your bond with Mom, you can no more go back to the before picture than your dad can. You cant break up with knowledge, and your family bonds hereafter will reflect what this situation has taught you, about yourselves and about each other. So dont leave Tom to solve your family problems; leave only if it solves your Tom problems. In that little throwaway line at the

end, you admit youve toyed with the idea that you can do better than Tom. As difficult as it will be, you need to decide whether thats your voice or your mothers somehow tuning out her vacation from her senses. Specifically, you need to stop thinking in terms of whether evil should or shouldnt triumph. In this case, good shouldnt triumph, either: Resisting Moms pressure on principle would be just as much of a mistake as caving in to it. Principle makes this about your mom, and shes nothing but a terrible distraction from the important process of figuring out whether you and Tom really fit. Principle also wont keep your conversations with Tom going 20 years from now; compatibility will, and commonality, and affection, respect and trust. Be patient, please, and see if thats what you have in Tom.

5 books about the Earth

Authors show why climate and habitat are important to all
s the nation marks the first anniversary of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico today and prepares to celebrate Earth Day on Friday, its worth thinking about what are the greatest environmental challenges we face and what can be done about them. At its best, environmental writing can illuminate the world around us; at its worst, it is preachy and dull. Environmental reporter Juliet Eilperin looks at five books that belong in the first camp, providing smart looks at issues ranging from deforestation and poaching in African forests to green innovations that could change the way we live: Not Your Typical Book About 1 the Environment, by Elin Kelsey, illustrated by Clayton Hanmer, ages 9-12; 64 pages. An optimistic look at choices we can make to improve the planet, this book assesses the impact of everything from the clothes we wear to the food we eat. But instead of laying a guilt trip on readers, it points to eco-friendly alternatives, from devising new products to opting for vintage clothes instead of new.

Even a kitchen sink gets removed from N.J. shore

In keeping with our environmental theme: A record amount of trash was picked up along New Jersey beaches last year, including a kitchen sink. Clean Ocean Action reports that more than 475,000 pieces of litter were removed from the shoreline. The rubbish included a 10-gallon gas tank, five pairs of underwear, a duck caller and a plastic cow. There also were four televisions, a plastic Easter egg with $3 in it, a toilet seat lid and and more than 1,300 strands of fishing line, which can kill sea life that gets tangled in it. News update: Several weeks ago, we reported that Pez dispensers that look like Prince William and Kate Middleton were being auctioned off for charity. Pez, the Austrian company that makes the candy dispensers, reports that a bidder from Connecticut paid $13,360 for the candy couple. The company will donate the money to help sick kids. The royal couple is set to be married April 29.

This book provides plenty of cool science about sharks including a description of their sixth sense, which can detect electrical impulses underwater along with details about the economic forces that have made sharks the target of fishing operations seeking their fins. It examines how differences between nations and groups can play out in terms of fishing, and how we might share the ocean more fairly. take on environmental activism, this tale shows what can happen when a single child pays attention to the environmental changes happening around her.

Lets hear it for Joan Cushing: Hip-hip-hippo!

After losing her husband, she finds a reason to smile with George & Martha
BY

J ANE H ORWITZ

Leave it to composer/lyricist/playwright Joan Cushing to turn a popular kids picture-book series about hippopotamus friends into a musical cabaret, complete with an emcee and chorus. The premiere of her George & Martha: Tons of Fun, based on the beloved George and Martha books by authorillustrator James Marshall, will be at Imagination Stage in Bethesda through May 28. From the mid-1980s into the mid1990s, Cushing was the droll D.C. doyenne known as Mrs. Foggybottom. Her Mrs. Foggybottom & Friends revues ran at the Omni Shoreham Hotel and satirized much of Washingtons political palaver. She took the show on the road, too. In the 2000s, Cushing found a new calling creating musical theater pieces adapted from childrens books. Imagination Stage has commissioned several, including Miss Nelson Is Missing!, Junie B. Jones & a Little Monkey Business!, Miss Nelson Has a Field Day!, Petite Rouge: A Cajun Red Riding Hood and Heidi (with playwright Martha King De Silva). Cushing says her musicals for young audiences have had almost 350 productions around the country since Miss Nelson Is Missing! debuted here in 2001. Cushing has found comfort in her work lately. When her husband of 25 years, Paul Buchbinder, died last November, she says, my whole world just turned upside down. Ive had a really hard time, but doing these projects is saving me keeps me going. In Marshalls books the first came out in 1972 Georges and Marthas little adventures, tiffs and reconciliations are mini-stories recounted in a few lines and pictures. Cushing decided on a cabaret format, using a dog, a crocodile and a pig who appear secondarily in the books. Given voices, they become emcee and chorus, introducing episodes, filling in details and moving things along. Its hard to write a musical based on a book thats really sketches, Cushing says. So what we decided as a team here was to make it [about] the arc of a friendship. I had to go into the books and find the stories that started out with

everything is hunky-dory and fun . . . and then, snap! something else goes wrong, and Martha, Im never speaking to you again . . . then they make up. I took some of the stories and stretched them out, Cushing continues. In one story from the books, for example, Martha gives George pea soup, which he hates. When she looks away, he pours it into his shoes. End of story. In the musical, Cushing has other friends arrive. Martha gives them soup, too, and keeps refilling Georges bowl. Each time, he empties it into another receptacle. Later, after George and Martha have fallen out and reconciled, George comes clean about the pea soup. Then it is kind of a theme, and at the end, they resolve it, Cushing says.

Our heroes meet again

Torture its agony, jests director John Vreeke when asked what its like to reunite with veteran actors Ralph
COLIN HOVDE

Cosham, John Dow and Michael Tolaydo. In spring 2009, he directed them at MetroStage in a well-received production of Heroes. The play by French dramatist Gerald Sibleyras, translated and adapted by Tom Stoppard, featured the actors as cranky World War I veterans finding friendship in an old soldiers home. Now hes directing them in another Stoppard play, an early-career farce, The Real Inspector Hound, running Wednesday night through May 29 at MetroStage. Turning to the three actors during a rehearsal break, the director asks, How many years between the three of you experience do you have? Three hundred and fifty years? He adds dryly, Its all about keeping the insults going. Vreeke had suggested the play to Producing Artistic Director Carolyn Griffin as a vehicle for bringing the three actors back together, albeit this time within a larger cast that includes wellknown Washington actors Catherine Flye, Kimberly Gilbert and Emily Townley. Stoppards play and its play-within-aplay spoofs stage whodunits like Agatha Christies The Mousetrap, as well as pretentious theater critics. It opens with a corpse on the floor in the drawing room of Muldoon Manor a body no one notices for half the play. Cosham and Tolaydo play theater critics Moon and Birdboot, who sit at the far end of the stage, facing the murder mystery thats unfolding before them and also facing the audience. They comment on the performance and digress extensively into Birdboots philandering ways and Moons inferiority complex about being a second-string critic at his paper. Playing someone with an inferiority complex requires a great deal of acting on my part, Cosham observes. Dow plays Magnus, who, he explains, is a heavily disguised cripple that we later realize is . . . well, that would be telling. Suffice it to say that Magnus is a guy in disguise, in disguise, in disguise . . . so I dont know what Im doing, the actor concludes. For Tolaydo, playing the more selfconfident, if equally clueless, critic Birdboot is not an act of revenge. I dont think of critics as the enemy, but I dont read them, if I can help it, until after. And not even then, if he can avoid it, he says.

When the Washington Capitals Eastern Conference quarterfinal series began, there wasnt a moment for the New York Rangers to breathe. The Capitals finished every check on every shift and made a priority out of punishing the Rangers ice-time leaders. That relentless physical play, the Capitals believed, was taxing on their foes and led to mistakes of exhaustion like the errant turnover by Marc Staal that led to Alexander Semins gamewinning goal in the opening contest. As the Capitals prepare for Game 4 at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, they hold a two-games-to-one lead but acknowledge that they were outworked in the teams last meeting. They will look to re-establish that tenacious physicality, led by Alex Ovechkins example, that served them so well in the first two games. The challenge, though, will be maintaining a high intensity level without reacting to any of the Rangers agitation. En route to a 3-2 victory in Game 3, The Rangers took special care to run into or slash goaltender Michal Neuvirth and chirp at the Capitals during each stoppage in play, sometimes resulting in retaliation but always at least sparking irritation. While New York makes no qualms about mucking things up between whistles, the Capitals maintain that they dont want to get involved in any extracurricular antics. I dont think we should, Nicklas Backstrom said. I think maybe we should just focus on playing the game and make sure we stay away from those kind of stuff. Its playoffs and theres a lot of emotion involved. Thats something we have capitals continued on D6

The NFL released its schedule for the 2011 season Tuesday evening, and if the league reopens for business in time for a full season the Washington Redskins docket will feature a home opener against the New York Giants, a game in Canada, a tough December slate and a New Years Day regular season finale at Philadelphia. The Redskins season opener against the Giants is scheduled to kick off at 4:15 p.m. at FedEx Field on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2011, terrorist attacks in the Washington area and New York. It would mark the third time in the past four seasons that the Redskins have opened the season against the Giants. Washington kicked off the 2008 and 2009 campaigns in the Meadowlands. Last season, the Redskins opened at home against the Dallas Cowboys. The Redskins went 0-2 against the Giants last season. The announcement of next seasons league-wide slate of 256 games came more than a month into a shutdown that could put the season or at least portions of it in jeopardy. Earlier Tuesday, representatives of the league and its locked-out players met with a judge in Minneapolis to resume their mediated talks after a three-day break. The talks are scheduled to continue Wednesday. redskins continued on D3

very seven-game series, no matter the sport, has a rhythm. In some cases the matchups are so lopsided that sweeps are not only possible, but inevitable. In others, the teams are well-matched and in those cases, each game takes on a different significance. And then theres the case of the Capitals, who seem to let every series go seven games, who are occasionally snakebit, occasionally passive, and often, at the end of it all, left shaking their heads. So despite the fact that the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference this season leads the Rangers, two games to one, in their quarterfinal series, Sundays Game 3 loss seems to have everyone a tad. . . tense.

TRACEE HAMILTON
This may seem like an overreaction its just one loss, after all but this is what happens when you build the playoff history the Caps have put together in the past few seasons. And it now makes Game 4 a crucial one perhaps even a must-win game for the Capitals. According to the

Elias Sports Bureau, teams that win Game 4 of a best-of-seven series go on to win their series 78 percent of the time. The gap between a 3-1 series lead and a 2-2 series tie is just one game, mathematically, but mentally that gap looks like the Grand Canyon. Definitely, Matt Hendricks said Tuesday after the Caps finished a short practice at Kettler Ice Complex. If you look at it, going 2-2 turns it into the best of three; if we go up 3-1 were going back home for Game 5 and the series is really in our favor. hamilton continued on D6

LaRoche says shoulder injury is bearable

First baseman says hes not at full strength, but his play isnt faltering either
BY

A DAM K ILGORE

st. louis On Sunday, first baseman

Adam LaRoche made a play that suggested the slight labrum tear in his left shoulder is getting worse, not better. But thats not the case, LaRoche said Tuesday in explaining the lollipop throw he made on a force-out at second base in the first game of a doubleheader against Milwaukee.

JEFF ROBERSON/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washingtons Drew Storen watches the storm in St. Louis, where the Nationals and Cardinals were rained out. They will play a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday.

With a man on first in the third inning, LaRoche fielded a sharp groundball. He turned to second, hesitated for a moment and lobbed the ball submarine-style to second base. Ian Desmonds return throw arrived a moment too late for a 3-6-3 double play. LaRoches soft toss looked painful. But the arm motion and easy throw had nothing to do with the fitness of LaRoches shoulder. Manager Jim Riggleman asked LaRoche in the dugout if he had hurt his arm, and LaRoche insisted he felt no pain at all. Instead, LaRoche had to find a way to get the ball to second base without plunking the base runner. Strictly the runner. I had to throw a

grenade over his head, LaRoche said before Tuesday nights scheduled game against the St. Louis Cardinals was postponed by severe thunderstorms. The teams will play a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday. John Lannan, Tuesdays scheduled starter, will face Jake Westbrook in Game 1 at 2:15 p.m. Jordan Zimmermann will face Jaime Garcia in Game 2 at 8:15 p.m. The postponement came after a threehour delay that at various points featured quarter-size hail, flashes of lightning, pitch-black clouds, sideways rain and sirens, indicating a tornado warning for nationals continued on D3

George Washington hires Nero as AD to replace retiring Kvancz

K ATHY O RTON Patrick Nero, the America East Conference commissioner, has been hired as George Washingtons athletic director. Nero will be introduced at a news conference Wednesday morning at Smith Center. Nero, 45, replaces Jack Kvancz, who announced his retirement in February. Im very glad that Patrick has risen to the top of what really was a very strong pool of candidates, GW President Steven Knapp said. I was impressed by his commitment to the academic success of our student-athletes, which I think is really critically important. I was impressed by his experience as both an athletic director and as a commissioner of a conference. . . . Id say he has a very strong strategic grasp of the role of athletics in the university as a whole, which I also think is really important to what were trying to accomplish, as we have these aspirations to become a more and more excellent program. Nero has served as the America East commissioner since 2005, overseeing nine universities participating in 20 sports. While at the America East, he has served on the NCAA Division I leadership council, the NCAA management council and the Womens Basketball Coaches Association board of directors. He is a past chair of the Division I commissioners association and the NCAA committee on womens athletics. I think George Washington is a tremendous university, one of the leaders in higher education in our country, Nero said. For me, thats what makes this so attractive: To be able to run an athletic program that is reflective of the overall general university mission that provides student-athletes with the opportunities to achieve and succeed at the highest level. Before becoming a conference commissioner, Nero was athletic director at the University of Maine. During his two years at the school, seven teams qualified for postseason play including the mens hockey team, which was the NCAA championship runner-up and 11 reached their conference championship games. Nero was the senior associate athletic director at the University of Miami (Fla.) from 1996 to 2003. He oversaw the external operations of the athletic department and was known for his strong fundraising skills, which included directing a $100 million capital campaign. He also has worked in the athletic departments at Marquette, Lamar and Providence College, his alma mater. Unlike the man he replaces, Nero has been neither a coach nor a varsity athlete. Neros hiring comes at a time when GW is undertaking an extensive review of its athletic, recreation and wellness programs. New York Yankees President Randy Levine, a GW alumnus and board of trustees member, is overseeing the committee undertaking the review. The committee hopes to make its report in June. My role [in the review] will be to participate in the process but also use the process as a way of educating myself on what exactly the university wants out of both intercollegiate athletics as well as recreation, Nero said. It really provides a road map for the future for me. What weve all talked about is really bench-marking ourselves right now within the Atlantic 10 [Conference] and seeing where we are having success and where we need to have more success, where we are funding programs, what type of tools and resources our programs are getting. I think the general feeling is were in the Atlantic 10 to be successful in the Atlantic 10, and if were successful in the Atlantic 10 in many of our sports, that means were being successful regionally and nationally. Because Nero has yet to negotiate his departure from the America East Conference, his start date at GW remains in flux. However, he indicated he hopes to begin working full-time at GW no later than the middle of June. Kvanczs retirement date is June 30.

JaVale McGee may be confident enough to believe that, at any point in a game, he really is a 5-foot-10 point guard trapped inside a 7-1 body. But he is not delusional. Although the Wizards center was pleased to finish second to Milwaukees Andrew Bogut in blocked shots per game at 2.44, McGee wasnt ready to go overboard about what it meant. I feel like me being second in blocks is a great accomplishment. Its a good thing, McGee said last week, but Im definitely not in the running for any defensive awards. I heard you have to win to be a defensive award winner. The Wizards certainly didnt win or defend much; they ranked 24th in points allowed (104.7 per game) and field goal percentage defense (47.1) and McGee still has plenty of room to grow defensively. So, he was probably surprised to see that he received three votes (one second place and two third place) for defensive player of the year on Monday. Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic won in lopsided fashion, getting 114 of a possible 120 first-place votes (one voter surprisingly left Howard off the ballot completely) and claiming 585 points; Kevin Garnett was second with 77 points. McGee finished with five points one fewer than Ron Artest and two fewer than . . . Tim Duncan. Blocked shots can often be a deceptive defensive statistic, because it doesnt take into account how the pursuit of rejections can put the team at risk of surrendering offensive rebounds or, in the case of McGee, lead to goaltending calls. One of McGees offseason goals is adding more mass to withstand stronger players such as Howard. Muscle, McGee said, not fat. He also plans to work with a big-man coach to help him with his game this summer. I think next year will be bigger and better things, he said. Will he stop trying to grab rebounds and take off dribbling? In the season finale in Cleveland, McGee took off dribbling and lost the ball to Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson, who found J.J. Hickson for a dunk.

JONATHAN NEWTON/THE WASHINGTON POST

Wizards center JaVale McGee finished second in the league in blocked shots per game.

Coach Flip Saunders had a nice comfy seat ready for McGee. I told him, it was probably fitting that was his last play of the season doing that because you wont be doing that anymore, Saunders said he told McGee in his exit interview. Either youre being defiant or you really dont understand. I think what happens is, JaVale is like a young pony that all of a sudden got let out of the barn. Hes running around, hes happy and having fun. Sometimes, hell start taking off and then he stops and it clicks, like, Oh, Im not supposed to be doing this. The thing is, he does have great talent. We have to continue to work on him, because sometimes, he can do those kinds

of things, more controlled, but thats going to be down the road. McGee was asked why he tries to dribble so much. I wasnt always 7-foot. And I always had ballhandling, McGee said. Look, everybody make mistakes in their life, right? But doesnt he realize how much it upsets his coaching staff? Definitely, but everybody cant be happy. Were all imperfect. You cant expect me to be perfect, McGee said, cracking a smile when he was reminded of his behind-the-back pass to Othyus Jeffers for a dunk during a win against Boston. Finally went through. Take that.

Boston officials seek record certification

One day after Geoffrey Mutai won the Boston Marathon in 2 hours 3 minutes 2 seconds the fastest time ever for the 26.2-mile distance race officials said they will ask tracks international governing body to certify his time as a world record even though the course is technically ineligible. With temperatures in the 50s and a steady, significant tailwind perfect marathon weather Mutai ran almost a minute faster than the official world record of 2:03:59 set by Haile Gebrselassie in Berlin in 2008. But Mutais mark is doomed to be recognized only as a world best, not a world record, because the Boston course is too downhill and too much of a straight line to meet IAAF standards. Fourth-place finisher Ryan Halls 2:04:58 was the fastest ever for a U.S. runner; it is likewise ineligible to be recognized as the American record because the national governing body has similar rules to the international one. . . .

boston Kevin Garnett sank the go-ahead basket with 14 seconds left, then stole the ball as the Boston Celtics overcame Carmelo Anthonys 42 points and beat the depleted New York Knicks, 96-93, to take a 2-0 lead in their playoff series on Tuesday night. The Knicks played the entire second half without Amare Stoudemire, who had back spasms. Chauncey Billups missed the game with a sore left knee. Garnett hit the decisive jump hook after backing Jared Jeffries into the lane. The Knicks then got the ball to Anthony in the left corner, where he was doubleteamed by Paul Pierce and Glen Davis. Anthony passed inside to Jeffries, but Garnett stole the ball and called timeout with four seconds remaining. The Knicks then fouled Delonte West, who made two free throws with 0.6 of a second to go. Rajon Rondo led the Celtics with a career playoff-high 30 points. Game 3 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round series is scheduled for Friday night in New York. Anthony matched his career playoff high for points and set a new high with 17 rebounds. Toney Douglas had 14 points in place of Billups, whose status for Game 3 was uncertain. Pierce had 20 points after missing his first five shots, and Ray Allen, who hit the game-winning three-pointer in Bostons 87-85 win in the opener, scored 18. Anthony was the obvious choice to shoot on New Yorks final possession. So Pierce and Davis swarmed him when he got the ball just inches from Bostons bench, forcing him to pass to Jeffries, who tried an interior pass instead of going up with the shot. The Knicks had gone ahead 91-88 with 2 minutes 35 seconds left when Anthony took a pass beyond the left arc and made a three-pointer despite being bumped by Pierce. Pierce followed with two free throws, then both teams missed jumpers. On the next possession, Pierce drove the lane to draw a defender and fed a wide-open Garnett for a dunk that put the Celtics on top 92-91 with 49 seconds to go. Jeffries followed with a layup, giving New York its last lead at 93-92 with 20 seconds left. Now the sixth-seeded Knicks, who have given the third-seeded Celtics all they could handle in two down-to-the-wire games, must win at least one of two at home to bring the series back to Boston. With the score tied at 59, the Celtics went on a 15-4 run led by Pierces seven points. Allen and Jeff Green hit three-pointers during the surge that put Boston on top 74-63 with 45 seconds left in the third quarter.

It took just more than a week of spring practice for Virginia Tech to lose two of its three starting linebackers from the Orange Bowl to injury. Meanwhile, Coach Frank Beamer announced Lyndell Gibson, a starting linebacker a year ago, would be transferring after a third brush with the law since arriving on campus. And yet with less than a week remaining in spring practice, perhaps the most interesting development for defensive coordinator Bud Foster has been the newfound depth hes discovered. Following last season, Fosters available talent pool was so shallow he couldnt trust his

reserves and had to play an overwhelming amount of nickel coverage. Foster now enjoys a depth chart that goes two, and sometimes three, deep at every linebacker spot. Im real pleased with the direction of our linebackers, Foster said after Friday nights full squad scrimmage. At middle linebacker, last years breakout star, redshirt junior Bruce Taylor, is out for the spring after undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. His backup, Jack Tyler, is also missing this spring with a stress fracture in his lower back. But the injuries have allowed Foster to get an extensive look at redshirt senior Barquell Rivers, a starter two years ago who missed the 2010 season after

rupturing his quad in a weight room accident. While sitting out, Rivers put on almost 20 pounds and has had to spend the spring playing his way back into form. Rivers has 10 tackles, two tackles for a loss and one sack while taking a majority of snaps with the first team in four scrimmages. He has times where he looks good and theres times where it looks like hes favoring that leg, Foster said. But [the injuries] allowed Barquell to get back and get in some playing shape and give us a good evalutation of him. Another positive development has been redshirt freshman Chase Williamss transition to middle linebacker. Foster moved Williams to provide some

depth this spring, but quickly realized thats the best position for him. Williams returned an interception for a touchdown in Friday nights scrimmage. At the backer position, Tariq Edwards listed at 6 feet 2 and 229 pounds has intrigued Foster. Fellow redshirt sophomore Telvion Clark has made strides. And then theres the whip linebacker spot, maybe the biggest question mark for the defense heading into the spring. Redshirt juniors Jeron GouveiaWinslow and Alonzo Tweedy are the two top contenders. As a result, the Hokies have gone from often playing with two linebackers last fall to having eight who have moved their way into a potential spot on the two-deep chart.

MAGIC 88, HAWKS 82

Dwight Howard had 33 points and 19 rebounds and Jameer Nelson added 13 points and eight rebounds as Orlando held off Atlanta to even their best-of-seven series, with Game 3 Friday night in Atlanta. The Magic used a 10-1 run to close the third quarter to take an 11-point lead into the fourth and fought off a late Hawks charge down the stretch. After allowing the Hawks to become the first opponent in 16 straight playoff games to score 100 points against it in Game 1, Orlandos defense tightened around Atlantas shooters in Game 2. The Hawks shot 39 percent. Jamal Crawford led Atlanta with 25 points and Josh Smith added 17. The Magic led 65-54 going into the fourth quarter. Joe Johnsons basket cut the lead to 78-72, and he got another following an Orlando turnover to trim it to four points with 2:43 to play. A steal by the Hawks ended with a dunk by Al Horford to pull Atlanta within a basket. But Hedo Turkoglu got a friendly roll to push it back to four and Jason Richardson drilled a three-pointer that made it 83-76 with 1:08 remaining. Crawford dropped in a layup that made it 84-80, but Orlando was able to hit enough free throws the rest of the way to secure the victory.

LaRoche fights pain, Zimmerman still out

nationals from D1 downtown St. Louis. Guys were coming in saying they had never seen anything like it, Manager Jim Riggleman said. LaRoche said he feels less pain in his shoulder than he did about 10 days ago in New York, when Riggleman gave him a day off. Its hard for him to gauge exactly how strong his arm is Its been so long since I let it go, I dont know what 100 percent is anymore, he said. LaRoche is focused less on returning his arm to full strength than on ensuring he does no further structural damage. He is not taking pills or injections to mask the pain, which could lead to him to throwing harder and further tearing his labrum to where I could really screw something up for further down the road this season, he said. But he is seeing progress. It feels better, LaRoche said. On the other hand, it was feeling really good before I let it go. So I still feel like Im at the point where if I let one go, I could go back and have this pain again. . . . I dont know that line, when I can start letting it go again, whether its a week or its two months.

Zimmerman stays home

Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman did not travel with the Nationals to St. Louis and will not join them in Pittsburgh this weekend, the clearest indication yet he will not return from the 15-day disabled list a week from Tuesday, the first game he is eligible. Zimmerman remained in Washington in order to continue receiving treatment with the Nationals medical staff, and he has yet to resume baseball activities. That Zimmerman wont return as soon as possible does not come as a surprise he has been expected to miss at least three weeks since he went on the disabled list. He last played April 9, when he severely aggravated a strained abdominal muscle while sliding into second base. Without their best player, the Nationals have gone 5-2. Oddly, the Nationals are 14-13 in games in which Zimmerman has not played since the start of 2010. In the Nationals first eight games, Zimmerman hit .357 with a .486 on-base percentage and a .536 slugging percentage. In the

seven games since, replacements Jerry Hairston and Alex Cora have combined to go 6 for 28 with a home run, a double and three walks.

MLB mourns prospect

Major League Baseball made its first public comments regarding Nationals prospect Yerwi Guillen, who died of bacterial meningitis Friday in the Dominican Republic. Guillen, a shortstop, was 18. First and foremost, all of our thoughts continue to be with the family and friends of Yewri Guillen, Jorge Prez-Diaz, MLBs director of Latin American operations, said in a statement released by the league. . . . Major League Baseball has commenced an examination into all the facts pertaining to this tragedy, with the full cooperation of the Nationals. Our Medical Director is satisfied that no other players are at risk and proper protocols had been followed to prevent others from being infected. Because the matter is under thorough review, we cannot comment on further details at this time.

LaRoche has also dealt with a left groin strain already this year. Despite fighting injuries, LaRoche has so far delivered the defensive improvement the Nationals expected when they signed him to a two-year, $16 million contract this winter. Hes a really good defensive player, Riggleman said. LaRoche has no errors, has made several diving stops and has scooped every ball in the dirt that infielders have thrown his way. Its been all right, LaRoche said. Its really early. Its one of those things, you get complacent with it. . . . Im not really ever

Redskins to open at home against Giants

redskins from D1 A federal judge is poised to rule on the players request for an injunction that would end the lockout put in place by the franchise owners March 12, one day after the previous round of talks between the two sides collapsed. The NFLs regular season would begin Sept. 8 in Green Bay with a matchup of the Packers and New Orleans Saints, the last two Super Bowl champions. Were doing all we can to prepare for the 2011 season, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told the league-owned NFL Network. Were announcing the schedule as usual around this time of year because we know that it is an important point where fans start looking forward to the season, and I think theres every reason for them to do that. After hosting the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 18, the Redskins would face the Cowboys on Monday Night Football on Sept. 26. Its the only prime-time game on the schedule. Last season, the Redskins beat Dallas, 13-7, in the season opener but fell by a 33-30 score in the rematch on Dec. 19. The following week, Washington is scheduled to play at St. Louis, followed by a bye in Week 5. The Redskins would resume play at home with their third NFC East matchup, taking on the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 16. The Redskins split with the Eagles last season. They won in Donovan McNabbs return to Philadelphia, then were embarrassed, 59-28, at FedEx Field on Monday Night Football. From there, Washington is slated to travel to Carolina, which went 2-14 last season and holds the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, which begins April 28. Week 8 would feature Washingtons first international regular season game. The Redskins are scheduled to play the Buffalo Bills in Toronto on Oct. 30. The Bills have played one regular season game per season in Toronto since 2008. Novembers schedule features a home game against San Francisco, a game at Miami the following week, and then the Cowboys at FedEx Field on Nov. 20. Three days after Thanksgiving, the Redskins are set to play at Seattle. December would feature a tough slate with back-to-back home games against the Jets and Patriots, a road game against the Giants and a home game against Minnesota on Christmas Eve. The Redskins are set to conclude the regular season at Philadelphia on New Years Day. The Redskins opponents for the coming season were determined on the final day of the 2010 season, but the order of those matchups was not released by the NFL until Tuesday evening. The NFL released the preseason schedule last week. Washington has home games against Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay and road games at Indianapolis and Baltimore.

Padres-Cubs, ppd.The game between San Diego and Chicago was postponed because of inclement weather. The forecast called for heavy rain and wind chills in the 20s. The game will be made up as a part of a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday. Giants: CF Aaron Rowand left the game at Colorado in the fourth inning with a bruised left forearm. Ubaldo Jimenez hit Rowand with a 94-mph fastball. Marlins: Mike Stantons first season as a cleanup hitter is off to a slow start, so he has been dropped to sixth in the batting order. The demotion is temporary and designed to help Stanton shake a slump. He is batting .194, with no home runs and 11 strikeouts in 31 at-bats. White Sox: P Jake Peavy will miss his next minor league rehab start due to muscle tenderness and irritation in his surgically repaired right shoulder. Peavy lasted just two-thirds of an inning, giving up three runs and four hits, in a rehab start with Class AA Birmingham on Monday. Yankees: 3B Alex Rodriguez was held out of the starting lineup for the second straight game because of a sore left side. Rodriguez says he expects to return Wednesday.

baltimore The season-high, eight-game losing streak was bad enough, but the Baltimore Orioles headed into Tuesday night against the Minnesota Twins not having had a lead in their last 38 innings. They pushed the streak to 39 before scoring three times in the second inning and four times in the fifth on their way to an 11-0 bashing of the Twins, the Orioles first victory since April 9. After not scoring more than three runs in six of their last eight contests all losses the Orioles (7-9) had a veritable offensive bust-out. They collected a season-high 13 hits, a season-high 11 runs and all 11 came with two outs. The Orioles scored once more on Tuesday than they did in their previous four games combined and they did it in front of a soggy but spirited announced crowd of 12,045. Orioles Manager Buck Showalter had been predicting for a week that someone was going to pay for his clubs slumbering bats; it was the injury-depleted Twins (6-11). But, really, how unexpected was this particular barrage? Consider that the Orioles had just one extra-base hit with two outs and runners in scoring position in their first 15 games this season. They had three on Tuesday: a Brian Roberts RBI double in the fourth, a Matt Wieters threerun double in the fifth and a three-run homer by Vladimir Guerrero in the ninth, his second long ball as an Oriole. And consider that Twins starter Carl Pavano (1-2) had allowed just two runs to the Orioles in 17 innings last year and 17 runs in nine starts in his career (2.75 ERA) vs. Baltimore before coughing up eight (seven earned) in 42/3 innings Tuesday. Wieters started the assault with an RBI single in the second and scored the first of his career-best three runs on Robertss two-run single. Roberts padded his team lead in RBIs to 14 with his third three-RBI game of the month. Baltimore Sun

Mountain View win tightens race

Two of Mountain Views losses this baseball season have been to Albemarle and Brooke Point, lower-tier Virginia AAA Commonwealth District teams. That did not bode particularly well for the Wildcats hosting first-place North Stafford on Tuesday night. Mountain View responded with perhaps its best game of the season. It hit three home runs and had two pitchers combine on a five-hitter in a 6-3 victory that further tightens the district race at around the midpoint of the season. They played with some passion and fire, and they did not play that way Friday, Wildcats Coach Craig Lopez said, referring to the loss to Brooke Point. This is by far the best overall group Ive had since Ive been at Mountain View. Its taken six years. Its taken a lot longer than I expected. The kids before have set the foundation, and these kids have embraced it. Senior leadoff man Aaron Williams homered in his first two at-bats to drive in three runs, and sophomore Jason Hager added a two-run shot in the first. That was plenty of support for senior left-hander Mikey Bruno, a Norfolk State recruit who pitched into the seventh for the Wildcats (8-3, 5-3). Im just trying to hit the ball as hard as I can and I just got lucky that they just happened to go out twice, said Williams, who doubled his season home run total. Hager hit his third. Bruno, who did not make it out of the second inning in his previous start, needed only 64 pitches through six innings, with no North Stafford runner advancing past second. The Wolverines (7-3, 6-2) rallied in the seventh. They loaded the bases to chase Bruno. With two outs, senior Thomas Brandon walked to force in a run and junior Geoffery Cieslewitz doubled in two runs off Wildcats senior Corey Haynes. Senior Tyler Skidmore, who had two of his teams five hits and who represented the tying run, flied out to center to end the game.

and the ball slipped out, said Sandusky, who finished with four goals. There was a scrum and J.T. even though hes only a freshman came up with a big ground ball to hold possession for us and give me a chance. That could have cost us the game if it went the other way. Our attack is really deep the young guys came in today and we just kept running our offense. Langley (6-1) led 7-3 after an efficient offensive first half sparked by Ahearn and Sandusky and supported by a number of nifty saves from junior goalie Andrew Spivey. But with Ahearn on the sideline, Langleys offense sputtered and the Chargers took advantage. Chantilly tied the game for the first time at 8 on senior Craig Penmans goal with 10 minutes 46 seconds remaining and again at 9 with 2:51 left on junior Daniel Decenzos tally. Ahearn, who returned midway through the third quarter, fed Sandusky to give Langley a brief 10-9 lead with 31 seconds left. But the Chargers answered immediately on Decenzos fourth goal on a perfectly executed set play out of a timeout. The Chargers (9-1) won the overtime faceoff. But Spivey deftly deflected a pass to the far post which seemed destined to give Chantilly the game-winner, and the referees awarded the Saxons possession that eventually led to the final goal. This has been a great rivalry ever since the state championship game, Sandusky said. Its very intense out there, and it just feels good to get this win.

Eyes on a record
Isaiah Simmons won the discus throw at the Gojekian Twilight Classic on Friday and emerged as the greatest challenger to the Virginia high school outdoor state record in more than a decade. The Woodbridge senior AllMet, who set the state indoor record in the shot put in February, blew the competition away on his home track. He unleashed the discus 192 feet 7.5 inches on his first try, best by a Virginia boy this season and the fourth-best mark in the country. Gar-Fields Joseph Whitfield was runner-up with 118-1.25. It felt good, said Simmons, who has signed with Miami (Fla.). The best part of the throw was the release. Thats when I knew it was going to be a good throw. First Colonials Brian Kollar set the Virginia high school outdoor state record of 196-5 in 1997. In the 14 years since, no one had thrown more than 190 feet until Simmons on Friday, according to Milestat.com. There were several other noteworthy performances. Potomac (Va.) senior Anthony Williams won the 110 hurdles over teammate Devin Brewer in 14.43 seconds, fastest by a Virginia boy this season. Williams also finished just ahead of Brewer in the 300 hurdles in 39.14. In the girls meet, Osbourn Parks Breanna Walker ran away from Shyra Molton of Patrick Henry to win the 200 in 25.23. The two reversed roles earlier in the 100, with Molton winning in 12.53 and Walker placing second in 12.55.

Saxons win in OT
The injuries are piling up for the Langley boys lacrosse team. With leading goal scorer Michael Adams sidelined with a concussion and the Saxons missing two more regular contributors, junior Sean Ahearn lay motionless on the turf for nearly a minute following a crushing high hit midway through Tuesdays highly anticiated matchup with No. 10 Chantilly in a semifinal of the West Springfield Spring Break Invitational. The war of attrition has brought new meaning to Langleys next man up philosophy and with the two-time defending state champions in danger of dropping their first game to a Northern Region foe this season, the No. 7 Saxons depth came through once again. Deadlocked in sudden-death overtime, freshman J.T. Meyers filling in for injured teammates scooped up a loose ball and fed senior Jack Sandusky, who fired it into the back of the net to give the Saxons a thrilling 11-10 victory in a rematch of the 2009 state final. I was driving down the right

Maintenance day for veteran Knuble

Mike Knuble was not on the ice for practice before the Capitals flight to New York on Tuesday afternoon. After the workout, Coach Bruce Boudreau said the veteran winger took a maintenance day and that he expected him to play in Game 4 on Wednesday. Maintenance days arent uncommon for Knuble, who at 38 is the oldest player on the Capitals roster, but aside from when he suffered a broken jaw in November, the alternate captain has rarely, if ever, missed two consecutive practice days. Replay footage from Game 3 late in the third period showed Knuble taking off his right glove to examine his hand after scoring a goal to tie the score at 2. On the same shift just a few seconds before the goal, defenseman Mike Green took a shot from the point on the power play that may have struck Knubles hand.

More on Green
On Monday, Boudreau said he thought the Rangers were intentionally targeting the head of recently concussed Green with high and blindside hits. When asked about the topic after New Yorks practice on Tuesday, New York Coach John Tortorella gave a pointed response. Our mind-set is just focusing on what we need to do, how we play play the right way and get ready for Game 4, Tortorella told reporters after the Rangers practice in Greenburgh, N.Y. We have confidence in the league, we have confidence in the officials that they wont be influenced by all the whining going on here right now. Were staying away from it, and were focused on what we need to do, Tortorella said. And like I said, we have confidence in the league that this doesnt affect the series. Its a pretty good series. Two pretty good teams, going at it pretty hard. Also on Tuesday, reporters asked Green, who missed the final 20 games of the regular season with a concussion, if he felt as though the Rangers were deliberately aiming for his head. The defenseman said he was prepared for the physical play any opponent might subject him to. I mean, Im used to it and Im ready for it, Green said. I did feel a blow to my head for whatever reason. Whether it was or was not intentional, its over with. A reporter followed up by asking if Green felt the Rangers have been coming in high with their checks during the series, but Green remained diplomatic. I dont know. Theyre coming hard, Green said. Whether its high or just finishing their checks is irrelevant. Theyre coming so hard that, you know, its hard to get out of the way. It is what it is. Its part of the game. Im not complaining.

BLACKHAWKS 7, CANUCKS 2

Jason Chimera of the Capitals exchanges words with Rangers center Brian Boyle. The Rangers out-hit Washington 41-29 in Game 3.

Dave Bolland returned to the Chicago lineup after missing 17 games with a concussion and had a goal and three assists as the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks avoided being swept, routing Vancouver. Vancouver still leads 3-1 in the Western Conference quarterfinal series that heads back to Rogers Arena for Game 5 on Thursday night. Chicagos Patrick Sharp scored two power-play goals in a chippy final period that featured pushing, shoving, jawing and a fight between Vancouvers Kevin Bieska and Chicagos Victor Stalberg. The Blackhawks got an offensive lift from their defensemen as Brian Campbell and Duncan Keith scored 17 seconds apart in a four-goal second period.

Checks will make Rangers pay

capitals from D1 to deal with. While the players want to keep the focus isolated to on-ice play, it might be difficult. The longer this series goes, the more attention can dovetail toward things such as Coach Bruce Boudreau calling Madison Square Garden nothing and not that loud during a radio interview, or Rangers Coach John Tortorella categorizing Boudreaus concern about New York targeting the head of recently concussed Mike Green as whining. Even if they dont want to take on the role of agitators, the Capitals said they do feel the necessity to roll up their sleeves and be a little more deliberate, a little more mean, when it comes to dishing out hard checks. Any time we can lay a body on someone, especially someone who plays big minutes, we have to do it. It cant be halfway, Matt Bradley said. It might slow them down by the end of the game, and no matter who you are, when you have the opportunity, you have to do it. New York made a habit of ensuring no Washington defenseman escaped a shouldercrunching check for the duration of Sundays contest. Meanwhile, the Capitals took eight penalties and handcuffed their ability to roll all four forward lines consistently and match the Rangers physical play. Some of our skilled guys got to do some things that they dont normally do and hit some guys, Jason Chimera said. But after the whistle, just leave it alone. We have no time for penalties after the whistle. Those are dumb penalties and we dont need to take them. Hits are a subjective statistic in the NHL, dependent upon the judgment call of the particular official responsible for the notation, but the Rangers out-hit Washington 41-29 in Game 3 and have a 110-99 edge in the series. The number isnt all that important, but making the commitment to wear down the opponent is. Brooks Laich, who dished out one of the more memorable checks of the series in Game 2 when he collided with Sean Avery and sent the Rangers superpest flying horizontally in the opposite direction, said tiring an opponent out is a conscious decision that can provide an extra advantage over the course of a playoff series. Little battles within a series, you always want to wear players down. Its no secret those two guys [Staal and Dan Girardi] play their top defensive minutes, Laich said. So whether its them or whether its their third or fourth defensemen, we just want to keep hitting them and wearing them down. If youre going to make the investment of skating over that far, make the investment to finish.

TRACEE HAMILTON

A Game 4 loss would open door to ghosts of playoffs past

hamilton from D1 Of course, Hendricks wasnt here last season, when the Caps blew a 3-1 lead against Montreal. But although he hasnt been scarred by the Caps recent postseason disappointments, he and the rest of his teammates know the value of avoiding a seven-game series at all costs. Any series you want to get done as quick as possible, Jason Chimera said. If you could win in four every series it would be great, it would be the best situation ever. You want to get some rest for some guys. Weve got to put the hammer down on Wednesday and keep on going from there. Chimera is right; a sweep would have been great for everyone, including Americas most tightly wound fan base. But a sweep was never going to happen against the Rangers, and anyone who thought otherwise was kidding themselves. A lot of analysis was made about how the Rangers werent the ideal first-round opponent for the Capitals, and thats probably true. The teams are very similar in some regards, although the Caps offensive talent is superior. But everyone needs to get over the idea that there is an Rangers, on the other hand, played like a team down 2-0. They were all over the ice. They were able to goad the Caps into some silly penalties, which handcuffed the Caps offense. The Rangers were able to impede and sometimes interfere with Neuvirth. And their winning goal bouncing off two Caps was fluky. Still counts as a goal, though. They were a desperate hockey team and we didnt match their work ethic and their enthusiasm, Matt Bradley said. Theres really no excuse for it, but it was one game. Its not like we played a bad game, we just didnt play as well as well as we needed to. Well be ready for Wednesday. Theyll need to be. They get help from the schedule: There were two days off between Games 3 and 4 and there will be another two between 4 and 5 extra time for treatment, extra time to prepare, extra time to practice. Unfortunately, that extra time also gives the Caps time to think about how theyve been in this position before, and how that worked out for them. The best cure for that: Try to put this series to bed quickly, and that wont happen without a win in Game 4.

RED WINGS 4, COYOTES 2

Late Monday Ruslan Salei and Drew Miller had goals 44 seconds apart in the first period as Detroit pushed Phoenix to the brink of elimination with a 3-0 lead in the Western Conference quarterfinal series. We came out and weathered their storm, Miller said. They came out hitting and we got two big goals quick. From there, we just kept going. Every time they came hard, we found a way to push back and keep going. Detroit leveled the Coyotes in its last playoff game in the desert, eliminating them with a 6-1 win in Game 7 of last years first round. The Red Wings put the lights out on Phoenixs whiteout this time with the two goals in the opening 2:41, another by Valtteri Filppula nearly as quickly in the second period and Johan Franzens score 45 seconds into the third.

ideal first-round opponent for the Capitals. In fact, forget the Rangers; the Caps are largely competing with themselves and their recent wretched playoff history. That is their first-round opponent. That is what they have to beat. And thats why Game 4 is likely a must-win game. Coming home and needing one win in three games is the best possible position to be in. Yes, theyve been in it before, and failed. Thats why they need to pry that King Kong-size monkey off their

backs once and for all. They are so close to redemption. They are playing postseason-style hockey. Their goaltender, Michal Neuvirth, is consistent and calm as a cucumber, as Coach Bruce Boudreau put it. They added players at the trade deadline who are helping on and off the ice (although they will welcome the eventual return of Dennis Wideman). But in Game 3 there was a lack of the pounding energy we saw in Games 1 and 2. The

For aside from the bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise, this specially promoted hamburger features a fried egg. On the menu, it is described as the aristocrat of all burgers. Indeed, sitting in my booth at the Red Robin in Gaithersburg, looking down on this symbol of decadence along with a side of fries, I did feel like a king. At the same time, knowing that this particular burger contains 1,191 calories

had me also feeling like that other king, Elvis Presley (he of fried-peanut-butterand-banana-sandwich fame). Whats more, I began my lunch with onion rings and jalapeno chips. By the time the check came, my meal totaled approximately 3,000 calories. Basically, I exceeded my daily recommended allowance by about 1,000 calories. As such, I had little to eat the rest of the day. I had also skipped breakfast that morning. Sure, my lunch didnt have to be so Caligulan. But it was ultimately my choice an informed choice.

The bartender at the Cheesecake Factory inside White Flint Mall knows exactly where to draw the line between being customer-friendly and betraying her employer. She chokes off the information stream as soon as I ask one too many questions about the restaurants Flying Gorilla cocktail, this liquid libation de-

scribed on the menu as a Kicked-Up Chocolate Banana Milkshake. When I first inquire about the Gorilla, she tells me I wont even taste the small shots of banana liqueur and creme de cacao in the drink. Shes so giddy about the creamy cocktail, she almost makes me excited to be sucking down an alcoholic shake at an Egyptian-theme chain restaurant inside a Rockville mall just steps from a nearly depleted Borders outlet where practically everythings for sale short of the employees personal footwear. I try to mirror the bartenders enthusiasm and ask about the other ingredients in the Flying Gorilla. Id get fired if I told you that, she says, impressive in her facility to blow me off with such good humor. A few days later, I called the Cheesecake Factorys press people, who were equally cheerful as they turned down my request for the recipe. The information is important for one simple reason: Americas fat. Youve heard the statistics by now and, more immediately, have probably felt that extra jiggle around your waistline.

Nightly pleasures of French women include the kitchen

BY

B ONNIE S . B ENWICK

The French cheeses on the platter are at a perfect room temperature as wafts of garlic and melted Gruyere fill the air. Potomac cooks Michele Arnaud and her 23-year-old daughter, Catherine Arnaud Charbonneau, are almost finished with what would be a WASHINGTON feast in anyone elses home. COOKS Confit duck legs are bathing in a skillet-size pool of their own luxurious fat, with thyme and softly tanned onions. Brown-edged potato slices peek through a blanket of gratin, and a mix of frilly salad leaves glistens with homemade Dijon vinaigrette. Hot from the oven, a thin, crisp apple tart has just been kissed with an apricot glaze. There are baguettes and an open bottle of Coteaux du Languedoc 2009 and the music of Jean Ferrat, booming from the next room. We cook every night, says Arnaud,

56, in the cheerful singsong of a Montreal accent. We take a lot of time at the table: two or three hours. We love music, food, art, wine. The good things. These women are beautiful, lithe and graceful as they move in the kitchen. Something about this is familiar and a little exasperating. Then the words of author Mireille Guiliano bubble up. As explained in her 2004 bestseller, French women eat for pleasure. French women dont get fat. Michele, her husband, Albert Charbonneau, and Catherine are all real estate agents. They work, live and cook together quite happily. Arnaud: Every time my husband says, Where do you want to go out to eat? I say, At home! Sounds like Guiliano again: French women think dining in is as sexy as dining out. Arnauds friends admire her way with food. It comes from her upbringing in Mandelieu, in southern France. Her father and mother were masters in the

kitchen, she says, but Arnaud had no time to enjoy their lamb rolled with herbs or Savoy cabbage stuffed with veal, pork and beef. I just wanted to be outside playing, she says. In her teens, Arnaud began to understand. It was relaxing for my father to cook, she says. He would stuff quail like farci; they were so good. Or fill a whole rockfish with onions, tomatoes and potatoes. Anytime he put stuff on the table, we were eating with our eyes. French women care enormously about the presentation of food. It matters to them how you look at it. Arnaud eventually moved to Montreal, washington cooks continued on E4

Grilled Tuna Steak With Provencal Vinaigrette

4 servings

Fresh fish prices are up, making a weeknight meal featuring lovely red tuna steak quite dear. But even frozen (and defrosted) tuna will benefit from the chunky, bright-tasting condiment you make while the grill heats up. Serve with sauteed broccoli rabe or couscous. Adapted from Michaels Genuine Food, by Michael Schwartz and JoAnn Cianciulli (Clarkson Potter, 2011).
INGREDIENTS

25
MINUTES

DINNER IN

For the vinaigrette

1 large tomato 12 pitted olives, such as Manzanilla 2 shallots 1 roasted red pepper (from a jar) 1/4 cup capers Leaves from 2 stems thyme 1/2 lemon 1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
DEB LINDSEY FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

For the tuna

Four 6- to 8-ounce tuna steaks, 1 inch thick 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper 12 scallions or small spring onions

STEPS
Prepare the grill for direct heat. If using a gas grill, preheat to mediumhigh (450 degrees). If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal or wood briquettes; when the briquettes are ready, distribute them evenly in the cooking area. For a medium-hot fire, you should be able to hold your hand about 6 inches above the coals

for about 4 or 5 seconds. Have ready a spray water bottle for taming any flames. Lightly coat the grill rack with oil and place it on the grill. Alternatively, heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. While the grill pan or skillet is heating, make the vinaigrette: Seed the tomato and cut into small dice;

place in a medium bowl. Cut the olives, shallots and roasted red pepper into small dice; add to the bowl. Drain the capers, finely chop the thyme and add them to the bowl. Grate the zest from the 1/2 lemon (to yield at least 1/2 teaspoon) over the bowl, then squeeze its juice into the bowl (to yield at least 2 tablespoons). Add the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper; stir gently yet thoroughly. For the tuna: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Use 2 tablespoons of the oil to rub the steaks on both sides. Season liberally with salt and pepper, enough so that you can see the seasoning on the fish. Trim the root ends of the scallions or spring onions and discard the outer layer, if desired. Use the remaining tablespoon of oil to coat them; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the tuna steaks on the grill or in the grill pan or skillet. Sear undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, rotating them a quarter-turn to create cross-hatch grill marks, if desired; then turn the steaks over and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on the second side. About a minute before the tuna is done, toss the scallions or spring onions on the grill and char them so they soften but do not burn.

Divide the grilled scallions or spring onions among individual plates. Transfer the tuna to a cutting board; cut on the diagonal into thick or thin slices as desired. Fan the slices on individual plates, next to the scallions. Spoon equal portions of the chunky vinaigrette on top. Serve immediately.

Tzimmes is a traditional Jewish dish in which vegetables are braised with dried fruit and honey or brown sugar. Sometimes beef is included, which makes for pretty heavy fare. NOURISH Here, with an eye toward weeknight Passover dining, Ive transformed the tzimmes into a vegetable and fruit topping for sauteed chicken cutlets. Its light, quick-cooking and delicious. The recipe calls for dried apricots, but you can use your favorite dried fruits. Stephanie Witt Sedgwick

6 thinly sliced skinless chicken breast cutlets (11/4 pounds total) Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons mild-flavored olive oil 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/ 2 cup) 2 medium carrots, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup, about 4 ounces) 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch dice (about 8 ounces, a generous 11/2 cups) 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/3-inch dice (1 cup) 8 dried apricots, cut into 1/4-inch dice (2 ounces, 1/3 cup; may substitute your favorite dried fruit) 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 11/2 cups homemade or no-saltadded chicken broth 2 tablespoons honey

STEPS
Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in a large, shallow skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many of the cutlets as will fit comfortably. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until nicely browned on the first side; turn them over and cook for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. (Cooking time might vary depending on the thickness of the cutlets.) Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Repeat to cook all of the cutlets. Add the onion to the skillet; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened, then add the carrots, sweet potato, apple, apricots, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and salt to taste; stir to combine. Stir in the broth and the honey; bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to medium or as needed to maintain a low boil. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Uncover and cook just until the liquid has reduced to a glaze. Divide the cutlets among individual plates. Spoon the vegetable mixture over each one. Serve hot.

Cultural dissonance, 80s style

BY

Pi on Wheels food truck in the District

As thick as cheesecake and as packed as a fridge-clearing casserole, deep-dish pizza is the antithesis of Neapolitan pie, which is ideally about crust. By contrast, these thick geological slabs, with their inverse bottomdwelling cheese, are the product of Midwest engineering; theyre a combination of big, meaty flavors and hibernation-level calories, as necessary as a parka to survive Chicagos brutal winters. That might help explain why deep-dish pies dont have the same grip on East Coasters as those thin, lightly sauced Italian rounds, which have almost become Washingtons third drug of choice, behind power and money. In this way, a St. Louis-based newcomer, Pi on Wheels, the mobile unit of the forthcoming District of Pi pizzeria in Penn Quarter, is the nonconformist. Its a blubber-jiggling John Candy among the lunchtime power walkers. Co-owner Chris Sommers brought his deep-dish concept to Washington not because hes an iconoclast or because he has an ally in the Oval Office but because of more practical reasons. Sommerss fiancee, Anne Schuermann, has two siblings who live in the area. Still, I have to tip my hat to President Obama, who practically inhaled Pis deep-dish offerings in 2008 during a campaign stop in St. Louis. The president liked the pizza so much, he asked Sommers and crew to bake some lunch rounds for the White House in April 2009, an invitation/betrayal that knocked the air right out of the hometown pie-slingers back in the Windy City. Hello, PizzaGate. But even the most deep-dishfortified Chicagoan would have to admit that Pis pizzas are something special and not just for food-truck fare. Back when he was still working in high-tech in San Francisco, Sommers persuaded the owner of a local pizzeria to sell its deepdish recipe for a modest sum. On March 14, 2008 thats Pi Day, or 3.14 Pi Pizzeria opened in St. Louis, and the natives were

Copping a squat on a stool at Kahns Bar and Grill on H Street NE, Im experiencing the kind of cultural dissonance usually reserved for Korean soondae shops in Annandale, where your pig-intensine blood sausages come with a side order of Toni Basils Mickey and other 1980sera pop songs floating over the sound system. At Kahns, the cultural mashups hit you with the ferocity of a Mike Tyson sucker punch. In front of me is a plate of stir-fry beef that I concocted with all the skill and insight that I possess in pan-Asian cooking, which is, as you might expect, zilch. Next to my plate is a dry martini, suggested by general manager Carmin Ruggiero II, prepared with organic Deaths Door gin from Wisconsin. In front of me is a wall of flat-screen TVs showing pro basketball, baseball and a soccer match from some godforsaken patch of earth. The tunes thumping overhead bounce from Rushs Tom Sawyer to Alice in Chains I Stay Away. The only thing missing is a mosh pit. The variety shouldnt come as a surprise given that Kahns is the brainchild of James Lee, the Korean who knows how to lay out a spread at his cafeterias, like the Salad Too Grill, where the salads are served by the pound and the menu freely mixes American and Chinese influences. Kahns is a so-called

At Kahns, you can watch the cooks prepare your meal.

Mongolian barbecue joint, which means almost nothing, since it serves neither Mongolian cuisine nor barbecue. Its mostly a design-your-own stir-fry restaurant, where you pick your protein (beef, chicken or shrimp), stuff a bowl with your desired veggies and noodles and then hand the raw ingredients to one of the dudes working the giant circular flattop. Theyll chop-chop their way through your meal while you select a main sauce (Szechuan, teriyaki, bulgogi or, for a real territorial shift, Buffalo) and a second sauce (honey-mustard, lemon-orange, chili or garlic). Because the concept can be confusing and because Ruggiero serves not only a killer

martini but also a concise list of wines as well as American and Japanese beers Kahns has just instituted an a la carte menu for the evening hours. In other words, if youre too tied up in a soccer match or too trashed on organic gin, the cooks will create some bites for you. And if you like what they make, you can leave a tip and bang a small gong next to the grill. You can hit it as loud as you want, Ruggiero promises.

Excerpted from the Going Out Gurus blog: washingtonpost. com/goingoutgurus. SETTING SAIL: Few restaurants open when their owners predict they will, so its a treat to report that Todd and Ellen Gray, who forecast a latespring launch for Watershed, are opening their second Washington spot in the Hilton Garden Inn for dinner on Friday. When Watershed was announced in October, the Grays

had yet to name a chef. Last weekend, the owners of Equinox told me theyve hired two people to helm the operation north of Massachusetts Avenue: Chris Kenworthy, a former sous-chef at Hook in Georgetown, and Wade Hoo Fatt, who once worked for local caterer extraordinaire Susan Gage. The restaurants menu will spotlight fish and seafood from Maine to Florida, including lessused ingredients such as tilefish

and triggerfish, says Todd Gray. Sharing space on the list will be a crab cake, roast chicken, pork ribs and an East Coast gumbo made with Florida rock shrimp and Surry sausage from S. Wallace and Sons in Surry, Va. Watersheds debut falls on a special occasion for the couple, who were married 16 years ago to the day. Gray jests that Watershed is my anniversary present for my wife.

opens in June. The Pi trucks nine-inch rounds arent as doorstop dense as the pizzas you might remember from Chicagos best pie holes, a leaner approach that merely acknowledges that most U.S. workers cant afford a food-coma shutdown in the afternoon. But they look and taste legit: golden, crispy cornmealheavy crusts concealing a bottom layer of mozzarella, followed by various strata of meats or veggies and a sweet, tangy chopped-tomato sauce. You almost cant believe this pie is baked on two conveyor ovens inside a small truck, although maybe you can when you have to wait 10-plus minutes for your order. The pizzas are expensive, but not Red Hook Lobster Pound pricey. The pies are $12 each, which is a steal when you realize that every pizza serves two or perhaps one very hungry president.

Mother and daughter, cooking by the book

washington cooks from E1 where she met her husband, and became a family doctor specializing in alternative medicine. They built a pharmaceutical business and sold it; she admits to a certain restlessness that prompts her to change careers every decade or so. The family moved to the Washington area in the mid-1990s so Catherine could attend the French International School. Catherine describes growing up in a house where her parents were always cooking together. So I wanted to be in the kitchen, too, friends sprang from the mothers who watched their high-schoolage daughters play volleyball. Theyve gotten together just about every Wednesday for the past six years to spend the happy hour at various Bethesda hangouts. Do the mother and daughter remind their friends of the women Guiliano wrote about? Of course! says Christine Henck, a Bethesda massage therapist. But you know, its okay. I think a lot of its good genes. Otherwise, it would be very unfair. More unfairness: Arnaud doesnt read cookbooks or consult recipes. Shes a natural, inspired by seasonal ingredients and the pots of rosemary, tarragon, chives, oregano and sage on the backyard deck. But she does have some tried-and-true methods shes glad to share. She preps bouquets garnis, large and small, and pops them in a freezer bag to use year-round. She chops by hand; its a workout, she says. She buys only olives that are cracked, because she says the pits add flavor. She keeps a jar of snowy white duck fat on hand and orders duck legs through the meat department at Giant. Whatever she does is wonderful, Henck says. But it can be dangerous. Well be standing in the kitchen, and then a fabulous Caesar salad will come out, and incredible cheeses. The wine is flowing . . . and the next thing you know, its 2 oclock in the morning. On a weeknight! Dining late into the night. Having bread with every meal, and cheese at the end of every meal. Hmm. When asked about the reasons she and her daughter can cook that way and eat that way and not get fat, Arnaud shrugs. We dont eat between meals, she says. Were very active. We dont watch TV very much. We dont eat processed food. We dont fry. We eat very little sugar. Its all in the book.

she says. Unlike her mother as a child, Catherine was attentive to the proceedings. Arnaud started her off with washing dishes, but by age 10, she was surprising us with things she made, the mother beams. French women train their taste buds, and those of their young, at an early age. After college, Charbonneau moved back home to work in the family business. She usually does the nightly salads and dressings. Baked salmon slathered with pesto is a specialty of hers. Arnaud keeps vinegars and oils by the stove, in a tray that Charbonneau made when she was 6. In pointing that out, they augment each others sentences with ease. Food and wine fascinate the entire family. We love to grab a group of vinegars or olive oils or cheeses or wines and sit around and taste them, the mother says. They will search for words that express the nuances always in French. Its fun to tease themselves with the tastings, the daughter echoes. Arnauds tight-knit group of

A simple, classic French dish that has been made in some form since the Middle Ages, when cooks filled pots with layers of vegetables and took them to a communal village oven to bake. From Potomac cooks Michele Arnaud and Catherine Arnaud Charbonneau.

Drizzle a little oil in the bottom of a deep-dish pie plate or souffle dish. Arrange the vegetable slices in the pie plate or dish, creating an alternating, overlapping pattern of the various vegetables in several concentric circles, drizzling a little of the oil between the slices. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then scatter the cheese on top. Roast for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the cheese has melted. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Going green can be bewildering

ack when Earth Day started in 1970, organic food meant withered, bugeaten produce sold at food coops by tattooed, ponytailed hippies of questionable hygiene. Organic wine meant something rustic of equally questionable hygiene that was likely to go really funky in the bottle. Today, organic food is mainstream (tattoos, too). And organic wine or at least, green, environmentally friendly wine is in vogue as well. But green wine is a thorny subject because of confusing definitions and varying standards that leave the consumer bemused at best and confused at worst. Shop at Whole Foods Market and you can buy organic lemons, organic carrots and organic beef. But I havent seen anything labeled sustainable parsley, or biodynamic spinach. Your olive oil might be organic, but not made with organic olives. Go to the wine department, however, and youre likely to see that array of confusing terminology. What does it all mean? If you believe that organic food tastes better than conventional and youre willing to pay the price, its worth knowing the wine lexicon, too. Sustainable essentially means that the winery tries to do without pesticides, herbicides and fungicides but is not willing to go for full organic certification, because when diseases such as mildew or black rot hit the vines, vintners arent eager to sacrifice their annual crop. There are several sustainable certifications, including one by Californias Wine Institute. Oregon, not to be outdone, has two Oregon Certified Sustainable Wine, and Low Input Viticulture and Enology (LIVE) both of which emphasize environmentally friendly farming. Organic is the real trouble word for wine. Under the U.S. Department of Agricultures regulations for organic agriculture, a U.S. wine can be certified as organic only if it is made without pesticides and herbicides in the vineyard and without sulfites in the winery. Because most winemakers are unwilling to forgo a small addition of sulfur at bottling (which preserves the wine against most spoilage in the bottle), true organic wines are rare. Thats why we see more wines labeled Made With Organic Grapes. Those wines are made with grapes from organically certified vineyards, but without the constraints of organic certification in the winery. Biodynamic viticulture takes organic a bit further. Based on the teachings of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, biodynamics views the vineyard as a holistic ecosystem and prescribes a number of treatments for the farm that are rather kooky-sounding. They include burying cow horns stuffed with manure throughout the vineyard, then digging them up six months later and using the compost to make a tea, which is sprayed on the vines. Pruning the vines or racking and bottling the wines is done according to phases of the moon. It all rather sounds like those old hippie wines of yore. There is one organization, Demeter, that certifies biodynamic products. Do these terms mean anything? Monsanto, the agricultural conglomerate known for genetically modified crops, advertises itself as promoting sustainable agriculture, which suggests at least that the green movement is at risk of being co-opted by the marketing department.

Our Beer Madness tasting panel voted 6-3 in favor of Exit 4 from Flying Fish Brewing Co.

Quivira Fig Tree Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2009 rrr Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, Calif., $22 This is lovely, with flavors of fig, pear and quince, plus a good sense of earth and minerality. Sauvignon blanc can easily taste like a confection, and even taste good as one; this is the real deal. This winerys zinfandel and grenache are worth seeking out as well. Certified as biodynamic by Demeter.

Garden State tops Golden State for the Beer Madness crown

G REG K ITSOCK

Country Vintner: Available in the District at Rodmans, Whole Foods Market P Street; on the list at Equinox, Potenza. Available in Virginia at Unwined in Alexandria, the Wine House in Fairfax; on the list at Brabo in Alexandria, Trummers on Main in Clifton.

Domaine Cazes Le Chalet 2008 rr1/2 Cotes Catalanes, France, $14 The estate practices biodynamic viticulture, though this wine is certified as made from organic grapes. It is also kosher, which probably doesnt help its sales. However, it is delicious in that woodsy, spicy way that reds from southwestern France often display. Theres some bell pepper that resembles a nice Virginia cabernet franc, and that gives way to coffee and a sweet, musky sexiness that emerges the second day after opening. A beguiling wine.

M Touton Selection: Available in the District at Cleveland Park Wine and Spirits, Pauls of Chevy Chase, Sherrys Fine Wine & Spirits, Watergate Wine & Beverage. Available in Maryland at Bradley Food & Beverage in Bethesda, Koshermart in Rockville, Roots Market in Olney.

Conserva Aglianico 2005 rr Tarantino, Italy, $17 Made with organic grapes, this red wine evokes chocolate and cherry flavors, with medium body and nice length. Its charms might not leap out at you at first, but it will keep tugging at you until you pay attention and realize it does have something to say.
Calypso: Available in the District at Dupont Market, Windows Cafe and Market; on the list at Busboys and Poets (two locations), Coppis Organic. Available in Maryland at Moms Organic Market in Rockville; on the list at Assaggi Mozzarella Bar in Bethesda, Roscoes Neapolitan Pizzeria in Takoma Park. Available in Virginia at Grape & Bean and Moms Organic Market in Alexandria; Nourish Market in McLean; Whole Foods Market locations in Fair Lakes, Tysons Corner and Vienna.

Meinklang Zwerest Pinot Noir 2009 rr Austria, $16 Austrian pinot noir at its best combines lightness, ripeness and earth in a way that can be rather beguiling. This wine does not taste like a Burgundy, nor does it have the candied aspect of many U.S. pinots in this price range. It is recognizably pinot noir, but poised on the transition of winter into spring, with a hint of woodsmoke and fragrant damp earthiness. This should be a strong candidate for restaurant by-the-glass programs. Demeter-certified biodynamic.

Siema: Available in the District at Cork & Fork and Whole Foods Market P Street and Tenleytown; on the list at Redrocks Firebrick Pizzeria, SEI. Available in Maryland at Balduccis, Bethesda CoOp and Cork 57 in Bethesda; the Wine Market, North Charles Fine Wine & Spirits, Wells Discount Liquors and Wine Underground in Baltimore; Moms Organic Market in Rockville; Rodmans in White Flint and Wheaton; Roots Market in Olney. On the list at Grand Cru and Kalis Court in Baltimore, Osteria 177 in Annapolis.

Miguel Torres Las MulasSauvignon Blanc 2010 r1/2 Central Valley, Chile, $12 Made from organic grapes, its crisp and clean, with just enough grassy aggressiveness to show it as a New World sauvignon blanc, somewhere in between New Zealand and California in style.

Elite: Available in the District at Bell Wine & Spirits, various Whole Foods Market locations; on the list at Posto, Rasika. Available in Virginia at Moms Organic Market in Alexandria, Leesburg Vintner, Norms Beer & Wine in Vienna, various Whole Foods Market locations; on the list at Me Jana in Arlington.

LEAH JONES FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

cynicism places greater importance on certification for those consumers who care; wineries that put the effort and money into obtaining a certification are demonstrating their commitment to earthfriendly viticulture. Its too expensive to be mere marketing. If we care about how our foods are made, we should care about how our wines are made, too. Vintners who practice sustainable, organic or biodynamic viticulture are demonstrating a commitment to

the land that should pay benefits in healthier vines and better wines. It forces you to be a better farmer, says Hugh Chappelle, winemaker at Sonoma Countys Quivira Vineyards and Winery, which is certified biodynamic. You cant rely on the latest whizbang solution for every problem. You have to be proactive. Thats probably 80 percent of the value. And on Earth Day, thats worth saluting.

Exit 4 triumphed by virtue of its drinkability (despite its 9.5 percent alcohol) and complexity.

Unlike California, much-maligned New Jersey has no snowcapped mountains, no redwood forests, no Disneyland, no Hollywood, no Golden Gate Bridge. What the Garden State does have, however, is the 2011 Beer Madness champion. By a 6-3 vote, Exit 4 American Trippel from Flying Fish Brewing Co. in Cherry Hill, N.J., upended Lagunitas Maximus from Lagunitas Brewing Co. in Petaluma, Calif. Lagunitas Maximus, a big but balanced brew that brewery owner Tony Magee describes as a doublish IPA, was a formidable challenger. Among our tasting panelists, Christina Hoffman was most effusive in her minority opinion, terming it well-rounded, sweet yet hoppy. Love this beer. Definitely one I could drink in a snowstorm or on the beach. But Exit 4 triumphed by virtue of its drinkability (in spite of its even higher 9.5 percent alcohol) and its complexity. Yeast, hops, sweetness: there was something for everyone! wrote taster Justin Garcia. Crisp, hoppy, floral, clean, fruity, added chef Brian Robinson. A triple (or trippel or tripel) is a strong, pale, top-of-theline abbey beer that brewing monks might serve to a bishop or other visiting dignitary. Commercial examples range from sweet and sugary to earthy and herbal. Exit 4 is drier than most, thanks to a liberal addition of four hop varieties, including two (Simcoe and Amarillo) that are thrown into the fermenting beer in a process called dry-hopping (unusual for Belgian styles). The hops add a fruitiness reminiscent of grapefruit, orange, or apricot. The beer also has notes of banana and clove, which brewery founder and general manager Gene Muller attributes to the high fermentation temperature, around 72 to 74 degrees. We classed Exit 4 in our Fruit and Spice category, but the only nonstandard ingredient is demerara sugar, a type of brown sugar made from partially refined sugar cane extract. Muller says he adds the sugar to bump up the alcohol without making the beer syrupy or cloying, the way an all-barley-malt recipe

would. Muller considers Exit 4 especially food-friendly, recommending it with stinky strong cheeses, fish, shrimp and any spicy cuisine. Flying Fish introduced the triple in April 2009, the first in the brewerys series of singlerun, experimental beers named after the 18 numbered exits along the New Jersey Turnpike. Everybody uses them for a point of reference, Muller notes. No sooner had he released the first Exit beer, though, than Muller began catching flak from the New Jersey Turnpike Commission and the state chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Both thought it was a bad idea to associate an alcoholic beverage with a highway. Muller brokered a peace by running a disclaimer on his Web site stating, in part, Both the Turnpike Authority and Flying Fish agree that you should never drink and drive. Muller thought the complaint had no merit, but the publicity didnt hurt the brewery: We were on 50 TV stations around the country in a two-week period. After Exit 4 won a gold medal in the Belgo-American Style Ale category at the 2009 Great American Beer Festival, Muller made it a year-round brand and began releasing it in 12-ounce bottles. Flying Fish beers have been available in the District and Maryland for several years, and they recently popped up in Virginia in the aftermath of a deal that the brewery inked with the Total Wine chain. The company rolled out 12,000 barrels last year, says Muller, making it the secondlargest brewery in New Jersey. (The largest, he adds, is Anheuser-Buschs Newark plant, which pumped out about 12 million barrels.) Muller is shopping for a larger facility and new equipment that will let him increase production. He says hed like to revisit some of his six other Exit beers, which include a hoppy wheat beer, an oyster stout and a wild rice double IPA. But its hard to believe that any could make a more graceful Exit than this Americanized Belgian brew.

Calling all grillers: Show us your sauce

Grillers and pit masters, start your saucepans. If you scoff at those who open a bottle of commercial barbecue sauce, if you think your homemade stuff is better than anything on the market, heres your chance to show off your handiwork. Its the Food sections first Smoke Signals Barbecue Sauce Recipe Contest. Were looking for finishing sauces, the kind you use to glaze grilled meat, fish or vegetables, to brush on just before serving or to serve on the side. We do not want recipes for marinades, rubs or mop sauces that are used early in the cooking process. Otherwise, the sauce can be any style, including but not limited to:  Kansas City-type thickish, tomato-based sweet sauce.  Eastern North Carolina thin, vinegar-based pepper sauce.  South Carolina mustardbased sauce.  Alabama mayonnaise-based white sauce.  The wide array of exotic sauces that include fruit, coffee, etc. The recipe can contain no more than 10 ingredients, none of which can be a commercial barbecue sauce. Were looking for entries from amateur home cooks, not professionals. That means no restaurateurs or caterers. No commercial bottlers. No one who otherwise makes a living cooking or preparing food. And no employees of the Washington Post or their spouses or immediate family members. Recipes must be original, the sole work of the entrant. Measurements and directions must be precise and easy to follow, and should include:  A brief description of the sauce and what it pairs with best.  A list of ingredients, using numerical values for measurements; for example, 1 cup ketchup, 2 teaspoons Tabasco.  Clear instructions on how to make and use the sauce. Include your full name as you would like it to appear in the newspaper. Also include your phone numbers, your home address (not to be used in the paper, but to verify your information), and your e-mail address.

Its no coincidence that this Sicilian estate hosts one of the nest culinary schools in Italy, the Case Vecchie di Tasca dAlmerita, founded by best-selling cookbook author Anna Tasca Lanza, the sister of Lucio Tasca, Regalealis owner. The school has inspired culinary professionals from Julia Child to Alice Waters over the years, and its inuence on both Italian cuisine and the distinctively Sicilian regional cuisine has been enormous. The Case Vecchies inuence is also reected in this wines food compatibility, which is nothing short of phenomenal. It is made from an intriguing blend of indigenous Sicilian grapes, Grecanico (44%), Inzolia (33%), and Catarratto (23%) from the estates own vineyards, and is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Straw-yellow in color with vibrant notes of green apple, peach, pear and citrus, the 2009 Regaleali Bianco is dry and crisp, with impressive structure and a resoundingly fruity nish.

Red Robin International in Colorado, the introduction of labels in Montgomery County and elsewhere has had almost no impact to the menu mix that were aware of. In a phone interview, Andrews said the most popular items are still the cheeseburger (931 calories) and the bacon cheeseburger (1,030 calories). Our take, she explained, is that people know what theyre getting when they come into a Red Robin. . . . When they come in, theyre not focused on the nutrition. Even though its right there in front of them, they came to get their favorite burger. Still, Andrews said, Its great

menus from E1 Montgomery County Council that applies to restaurants with 20 or more locations in the country. But earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration issued its own proposal for menu labeling as required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, in which all chain restaurants with 20 or more locales must post caloric content for standard menu items as well as a suggested daily allowance. One of the most important things we can do when it comes to the nations health, said FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg last summer, is to provide simple basic information to the American people so they can make choices that are best for them and their family. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) also praised the legislation: For nearly 20 years, consumers have benefited from nutrition labels on packaged foods but have remained in the dark about the nutritional quality of their restaurant meals. The passage of menu labeling closes this glaring loophole, giving consumers the information that they need to take control of their own health. (Harkin and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., have pushed for menu labeling since 2003.) But will Americans take control of their own health? Will patrons of Red Robin flock to the Garden Burger knowing it has a mere 561 calories? According to Jennifer Andrews, director of marketing for

to provide the guest with this information, and she added that once federal regulations are in place, We will meet the law. Until now, restaurants have been faced with varying label laws across the country, from California and King County, Wash., to Philadelphia, New York City and North Carolina all of which comes at a cost. The Orange County Register reported last December that in complying with state law alone, Subway has spent $111,000 for new menus at 223 Orange County shops. Newport Beach-based Zpizza . . . said it spent about $120,000 for new takeout menus and two menu

boards per store. Daphnes [a Greek chain], which has 58 locations in the state, spent $500 per store. Its no surprise, then, that the National Restaurant Association endorsed the new federal requirement, one that asks for caloric information but makes exceptions, such as for daily specials. Indeed, a Democratic congressional staffer familiar with the new requirement suggested it is in the industrys best interests to push for one law that would supersede the others. This helps business, said the staffer, who asked to remain anonymous in order to speak freely about this politically sensitive subject. The Republicans dont want to deal with the localities and 500 different regulations. Not that the law is perfect or even complete; the FDA hopes to finalize its mandate by the end of the year. And some of the original language was vague: A subclause within the health-care bill asked for eateries to provide a succinct statement concerning suggested daily caloric intake . . . posted prominently on the menu and designed to enable the public to understand, in the context of a total daily diet, the significance of the caloric information that is provided on the menu. Who makes the suggestion and how? A restaurant . . . shall have a reasonable basis for its nutrient content disclosures, including nutrient databases, cookbooks, laboratory analyses, and other reasonable means. At the moment, the FDA has settled on a compromise statement for restaurants to post: A 2,000 calorie diet is used as the basis for general nutrition advice; however, individual calorie needs may vary. Patrick Basham, founding director of the Democracy Institute and an adjunct scholar at Cato, considers the provision deeply flawed. One of the reasons I think this is inappropriate is that [menu label advocates] put all the emphasis on the gross caloric number and make no allowance for what its made up of. So it doesnt deal with quality of nutrition. It just deals with calories that are in that product. In a 2007 working paper for the Washington Legal Foundation that he co-authored with John C. Luik, Basham points out that based simply on calories, for instance, a glass of milk will show up with more calories than a soft drink, a yogurt with more calories than a bag of chips. (Diabetics will likewise gain little insight from the newly labeled menus; their concern is less about calories than about sugar.) Similar to the findings at Red Robin, the authors cited numerous studies by the Department of Agriculture and others indicating that labels have little effect on peoples choices, though the Orange County Register did note one study by a health agency in New York City showing that customers did order food with fewer calories after looking over labeled menus. How many fewer calories? 106. (Red Robins ranch sauce alone has 285 calories.) As Basham and Luik state, Changing consumer eating habits is not . . . simply a matter of providing more information. Rather, eating habits are driven by a more fundamental issue: individual taste. Not that everyone involved in the legislation has such high hopes. Even the unnamed congressional staffer admitted, If anyone is under the illusion that giving people nutritional information is going to reduce obesity, theyre crazy. Others, however, do see the new law as a vital weapon in the battle against unhealthful foods. In The End of Overeating, former FDA commissioner David Kessler writes that menu labels provide an incentive for restaurants to offer more meals for people who are seeking to follow the guidelines of just-right eating. . . . People need to hear repeatedly, from many sources, that selling, serving and eating food layered and loaded with sugar, fat and salt has negative, unhealthy consequences. Kessler would like to see a war waged against hyperpalatable food similar to the war against tobacco. That comes as no surprise to Basham. His fear is that the labels will prove ineffective, and then what [menu label advocates] will do . . . is say the information isnt large enough, it isnt bright enough, in fact just giving the calorie count is insufficient. What we need is some kind of warning to go with it, and then of course well have a few years of ever-increasing sizes of warnings, and then well actually have to have graphic warnings. Proponents maintain that this is strictly about making informed choices. And no doubt consumers will have more information before placing their orders. That said, they will probably continue making choices based on taste. I, for one, chose to obey the egg.

For piling on the calories, liquor is quicker

labeling from E1 Lets Move campaign to the new veg-friendly Dietary Guidelines for Americans, but its latest offensive push came on April 1, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration published proposed regulations for nationwide menu labeling. As written, the regulations require all chain restaurants, retail food establishments, and vending machines with 20 or more locations to list caloric information on their menus and menu boards. Two categories were conspicuously exempted from the requirement: movie theater chains and alcoholic beverages. This is where chains such as the Cheesecake Factory, Applebees, Chilis and others come in. They serve alcohol of every stripe. Many have specialty cocktails, too, such as the Flying Gorilla or Applebees Mud Slide or the Chilis line of designer margaritas. None of the chains may ever be required to list the drinks caloric information on their menus (except, of course, in those jurisdictions such as New York City where local labeling laws already require such information). The problem is that alcohol is a big source of calories in the American diet, says Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest. How big is a matter of personal drinking habits. In her forthcoming book, Calories: From Science to Politics (co-written with Malden Nesheim; University of California Press, 2012), nutrition expert Marion Nestle will publish a complex formula on how to determine the caloric content of the alcohol in your drink when all you know is the alcohol-by-volume information. It practically takes an advanced degree in mathematics to figure it out. Fortunately, Nestle offers an example in the book: A six-ounce pour of wine with 13.5 percent alcohol by volume, for instance, translates into about 140 calories. Drink two glasses of that wine with dinner, and youve added about 280 calories to your meal. Which would almost be considered a diet drink compared to the Flying Gorilla. Based on a modified recipe found online, this Kicked-Up Chocolate Banana Milkshake might contain anywhere from 590 to 870 calories per drink, depending on how much ice cream is used. Outside the realm of high-calorie ice cream drinks, the numbers sound more reasonable: The standard servings of wine (five ounces), light beer (12 ounces) and spirits (1.5 ounces of 80 proof alcohol) generally contain about 100 calories from the alcohol alone, not including additional calories from any mixers, syrups, fruits, grains or other ingredients used in the production of the proposed regulations for menu labeling? The agency apparently does not believe it has jurisdiction over alcohol, citing case law that states that the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has authority over most alcohol labeling. According to the Federal Register notice of April 6, it is not clear that Congress intended for the nutrition information disclosures . . . to apply to alcohol beverages, given that the labels of the majority of alcohol beverages are regulated by TTB. The FDAs argument ignores two simple facts, say nutritionists and public health advocates. One: The FDA does have regulatory authority over some alcohol, including wine and hard ciders that contain less than 7 percent alcohol by volume, as well as beers made from grains other than barley and hops. And two: The FDAs proposed menu labeling regulations include foods, such as red meat and poultry, over which the U.S. Department of Agriculture has regulatory and labeling authority. Why does the FDA feel justified in invading the USDAs territory but not the TTBs? If jurisdictional authority isnt really the issue, what is? No one at the FDA would comment, other than with this written statement: FDA has proposed alcoholic beverages should not be covered, but we invite the public to provide comments on whether or not alcoholic beverages should be covered under the nutrition labeling requirements. But Wendell Lee, general counsel at the Wine Institute, lays out a more plausible explanation: The FDA is probably waiting for the TTB to sort out its own alcohol labeling problem. For more than four years now, the TTB, a bureau in the Treasury Department, has been trying to referee a fight among the wine, beer and spirits industries, all of which want different information placed on their products or information placed in different spaces on their packages. Frankly, the nuances of that battle are far too complicated to explain in a short newspaper article, but they deal with issues dear to the industries involved: sales and marketing, market competition, public perception and, biggest of all, taxation. Its still in review, TTB spokesman Tom Hogue says of the alcohol labeling regulations. Its not an easy review. In the meantime, Lee thinks the TTBs lack of movement hamstrings the FDA, since the latter agency might not want to create two different systems that producers would be required to use to determine the nutritional values of beer, wine and spirits. Such dueling systems could create an extra and unnecessary financial burden for some small producers, Lee says. Everyone, from the Center for Science in the Public Interest to

DEB LINDSEY FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

The Flying Gorilla doesnt monkey around, packing in hundreds of calories per drink.

the Distilled Spirits Council, wants the FDA to work with its agency counterparts at the TTB to create a workable solution to menu labeling for alcohol. But that might be easier said than done. As George Hacker, a CSPI senior policy advisor who has worked on alcohol policy since the early 1980s, says, the TTB is buffeted by political forces. Its a Treasury agency that regulates an alcohol industry that generates $7 billion a year in tax revenue. A large part of the TTBs mission is to collect excise taxes. With a mission like that, the TTB must walk a fine line between providing consumers with useful information and not affecting the alcohol industry in such a way that deprives the treasury of much-needed revenue. That line, at least in Nestles view, is too often blurred in the name of money. As the nutritionist writes in her book, Regulating alcohol . . . is about tax revenues, not health.

Regular beer generally contains about 150 calories, depending on its alcohol content; that compares favorably with soft drinks, which contain about 151 calories, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database. The problem here is threefold. As with soft drinks, alcohol is devoid of nutritional value, and your body doesnt tend to register liquids as it does solid food. A

Proposed federal rules for menu labeling exempt two categories: movie theaters and alcoholic beverages.
beverage doesnt make you feel full the way that food does, says CSPIs Wootan. Plus, as Nestle points out, those who drink too much can overwhelm their livers ability to metabolize acetaldehyde, a potentially toxic substance responsible for much of the damage to the liver, heart and other organs seen so frequently in heavy drinkers. Now imagine a menu where the calories are listed for all of the drinks except for beer, wine and spirits. To Wootans way of thinking, thats a setup for overindulging on empty calories and on a potentially organ-damaging substance. The lack of caloric information for alcoholic beverages, she notes, would mistakenly give the impression that [they] are a better choice. So what was the FDA thinking in not including alcohol in the

Washington Cooks
Fondant de Canard With Potatoes au Gratin (Duck Legs With Gratineed Potatoes)
4 servings

Tarte Trottoir
4 servings

In a few hours time, Potomac cooks Michele Arnaud and her daughter, Catherine Arnaud Charbonneau, turn onions, white wine and duck legs ordered from their local Giant into a luxurious main course. Youll need extra duck fat for the potatoes. The fat is available through online gourmet purveyors, at Balduccis and at some farmers markets. From Potomac cooks Michele Arnaud and Catherine Arnaud Charbonneau. INGREDIENTS For the duck
4 duck legs, with thighs (2 pounds total) Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 large onions; 2 Vidalia and 2 yellow, cut into thin slices 10 fresh bay leaves 6 whole cloves peeled garlic 10 large sprigs thyme Two-thirds of a 750 ml bottle (about 2 cups) chardonnay

Use a pressure cooker, and this dish is ready in about 20 minutes. Or it can be done on the stovetop in about an hour. Serve with pine nut-studded couscous or polenta. From Potomac cooks Michele Arnaud and Catherine Arnaud Charbonneau.
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 11/2-inch pieces, blotted dry with paper towel (about 1 pound total) Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup flour 1 medium onion, finely chopped 4 cups homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth 5 large sprigs thyme 2 sprigs rosemary 2 fresh bay leaves 2 large cloves garlic, minced 1 1/2 cups cracked green olives, with pits, drained (see headnote)

This tart is usually made in a rectangular shape; hence its French name, which means sidewalk. The Arnaud family doesnt eat a lot of desserts, but this is a favorite of theirs. It is ultra-thin and not too sweet. It does not call for sugar, but you can sprinkle a tablespoon or two on the fruit before baking, if desired. A trick: The small amount of tapioca used here helps keep the crust from getting soggy. From Potomac cooks Michele Arnaud and Catherine Arnaud Charbonneau.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup flour, plus more for rolling 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Pinch salt 2 or 3 teaspoons ice water 1/2 teaspoon instant/quick-cooking tapioca 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and cut into thin wedges (may substitute pears) 1/3 cup apricot preserves

STEPS
Heat the oil in a pressure cooker (without the lid) over medium-high heat, until the oil shimmers. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper. Use just enough of the flour to coat them evenly, shaking off any excess. Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil; cook for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn them over and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, so they are lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion to the pot; cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring, until the onion has softened. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of the flour to form a roux; cook for a minute or two, stirring, then stir in 1 cup of the broth to form a creamy sauce. Return the chicken to the pot, along with the thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, garlic, the olives and the remaining 3 cups of broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Secure the lid on the pressure cooker, following the manufacturers instructions. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, then de-pressurize the pot and uncover. The chicken will be tender and the sauce will be smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. (Alternatively, if the chicken is cooked in a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring it every 15 minutes.) Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving, if desired. Transfer to a tureen or divide among individual plates. Serve hot.

STEPS
Combine the flour, butter, salt and the ice water (as needed) in a mixing bowl; work just enough to shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Have a baking sheet at hand. Lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the dough to a 9-inch round, with a thickness of no more than 1/4 inch. Transfer to the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tapioca evenly over the dough. Arrange the apple slices facing in the same direction so they overlap neatly, leaving a 1/2 inch margin of dough around the edges. Decoratively crimp the edge, if desired. Bake for 20 minutes, until the bottom of the tart is browned and the crust is crisp and golden. Just before the tart is done, place the preserves in a small microwavesafe bowl; microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, then stir to smooth them. Brush them over the fruit (not the crust) just after it comes out of the oven. Serve warm or at room temperature.

For the potatoes

4 tablespoons duck fat (see headnote) 2 large (unpeeled) russet potatoes, washed well and cut crosswise into thin slices Sea salt Leaves from 2 large sprigs thyme (1 tablespoon) 4 large cloves garlic, cut into very thin slices 1 cup freshly grated Gruyere cheese

STEPS
For the duck: Season the duck legs all over with salt and pepper. Place them skin side down in a large ovenproof skillet. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, turning the duck over a few times, to render as much fat as possible (important for the onions). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Increase the heat under the skillet to medium; cook for about 3 minutes per side to lightly brown the duck. Transfer the duck to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet and toss to coat in the duck fat. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent, very soft and submerged in the duck fat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the bay leaves and garlic, then add 6 or 7 thyme sprigs. Arrange the duck legs on top, skin side up. Pour the wine around, then lay the remaining thyme sprigs over the duck. Cover and roast for 45 minutes; check to see whether the onions are sticking to the bottom of the skillet. If they are, use a spatula to dislodge them. Roast for 15 minutes, then uncover and roast for 20 to 30 minutes so the duck browns, the garlic cloves have softened and the juices in the skillet have reduced. Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: Have a 11/2-quart baking dish at hand. Heat the 4 tablespoons of duck fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Add about one-fifth of the potatoes and fry them for several minutes, until crisped, turning to brown them on both sides. Transfer them to the baking dish, spreading them in a single layer. Season lightly with salt to taste, then sprinkle with a little of thyme, garlic slices and cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, partially cooking them in the skillet, then creating layers in the baking dish with the other ingredients in between. By the time youve used all the potatoes, you should have five layers of potatoes, ending with cheese on top. Strain any remaining duck fat in the skillet; reserve for another use.

JAMES M. THRESHER FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Place the baking dish in the oven alongside the skillet with the duck, to roast for the last 30 minutes that the duck is in the oven. The potatoes should be fork-tender and the cheese should be evenly melted. Divide equal portions of the onion and softened garlic cloves among individual plates, then top with a duck leg. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs, if desired. Serve hot, with a scoop of the potato gratin.

B ONNIE S . B ENWICK

You know that moment when the basket of hot biscuits hits the table? The meal is made. The same can said for Southern Biscuits, by Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart (Gibbs-Smith, May 2011; $21.99). It completes the library of cookbooks that celebrate the South. The authors have been saving string on this topic for decades. Before the parade of recipes begins, Dupree and Graubart do their best to explain the variables that can cause differences in even the most basic biscuit: fats, liquids, flours and baking pans. A panel of step-by-step photos will go a long way toward illustrating many of the books recipes. The two came to understand that making biscuits is deceptively simple; a home cook who has made them for years might be surprised to learn some of the authors tricks. Wooden bowls are their preferred vessel for blending the dough. Whole milk and buttermilk make a better biscuit than their low-fat counterparts. And just as biscuits can vary from batch to batch, close reading of some recipes in Southern Biscuits might yield a head-scratching moment. But when an extra mention of melted or softened butter appears, its easy enough to consult a previous recipe or two to figure out whats required. Versatility wins the day. There are biscuits you can successfully make in advance; ones that contain yogurt; ones that approximate the biscuits made in certain fast-food restaurants (stand down; not Popeyes) and others that are sweetened with Coca-Cola. The book includes suggestions for what to put between biscuit halves, and butters and gravies to slather on them. Usually sad affairs, even leftover biscuits can be turned into bread puddings and trifles.

These biscuits have a flavor that cannot easily be placed: slightly cocoa-ish, a bit mysterious yet tasty enough to keep an eater interested. They would be delightful baked into a chocolate biscuit bread pudding or simply topped with a smear of Nutella and a toasted marshmallow. The type of baking pan you choose will affect the biscuits exterior. Soft: Use an 8- or 9inch cake pan, pizza pan or ovenproof skillet in which the biscuits will nestle together snugly. Crisp: Use a baking sheet (or two stacked, to insulate the biscuit bottoms) or other baking pan where the biscuits can be placed farther apart, allowing air to circulate. Youll need a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Adapted from Southern Biscuits, by Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart (Gibbs-Smith, 2011).
INGREDIENTS
Unsalted butter, melted, for brushing 2 cups store-bought or homemade biscuit mix, plus more as needed (see NOTE) 1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar 1/2 cup regular or low-fat sour cream 1/2 cup Coca-Cola Water, as needed 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for the work surface

This recipe from the Shenandoah Valley recommends resting the unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet (or cake pan, etc.) in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight (or freeze overnight). Resting allows the fat to chill and the baking powder to act, and produces a higher-rising biscuit. That is true of many biscuits. The type of baking pan you choose will affect the biscuits exterior. Soft: Use an 8- or 9-inch cake pan, pizza pan or ovenproof skillet in which the biscuits will nestle together snugly. Crisp: Use a baking sheet (or two stacked, to insulate the biscuit bottoms) or other baking pan where the biscuits can be placed farther apart, allowing air to circulate. Youll need a 21/2-inch biscuit cutter. Adapted from Southern Biscuits, by Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart (Gibbs-Smith, 2011).

STEPS
Position the top oven rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Have your baking pan of choice at hand; if you are using a baking sheet, brush it with a little melted butter. Fork-sift or whisk together the biscuit mix and brown sugar in a large bowl, preferably wider than it is deep. Use the back of your hand to make a deep hollow in the center of the mix. Combine the sour cream and 1/4 cup of the Coca-Cola in a small bowl. Pour that mixture into the hollow and stir with a rubber spatula or large metal spoon, using broad circular strokes to quickly pull the biscuit mix into the liquid. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of Coca-Cola and mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened and the sticky dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. If

some flour remains on the bottom and sides of the bowl, stir in 1 to 4 tablespoons of water, just enough to incorporate the remaining flour into the shaggy, wettish dough. If the dough is too wet, use more flour when shaping. Generously dust the work surface with all-purpose flour. Turn the dough onto the floured surface. Use more of the flour to coat your hands. Sprinkle the top of the dough lightly with the all-purpose flour. With floured hands, fold the dough in half and pat it out into a 1/3- to 1/2-inchthick round, using a little additional flour only if needed. Flour again if necessary, and fold the dough in half a second time. If the dough is still clumpy, pat and fold a third time. Pat the dough out into a 1-inch-thick round. Brush off any visible flour from the top. For each biscuit, dip a 2-inch biscuit cutter into the reserved flour and cut out the biscuit, pressing firmly, starting at the outside edge and cutting the biscuits very close together, being careful not to twist the cutter. Dough scraps may be combined to make additional biscuits, although the scraps will make tougher biscuits. Carefully transfer the biscuits to the pan or baking sheet. Bake on the top rack of the oven for 7 minutes, then rotate the pan from front to back; if the bottoms are browning too quickly, slide a second baking sheet underneath to add insulation and retard browning. Bake for 4 to 7 minutes, until the biscuits are light golden brown. When the biscuits are done, remove

them from the oven; lightly brush the tops with softened butter. Turn the biscuits out upside down on a plate to cool slightly. Serve hot, right side up. NOTE: To make a biscuit mix, forksift or whisk 10 cups of self-rising flour, 3 teaspoons of salt, 5 teaspoons of cream of tartar and 4 teaspoons of baking powder in a large, deep bowl. Scatter 2 cups of shortening, lard or unsalted butter over the flour and work it in by rubbing the shortening and flour with your fingers, as if snapping the thumb and fingers together (or use two forks or knives, or a pastry cutter), until the mixture looks like well-crumbled feta cheese, with no piece larger than a pea. Shake the bowl occasionally to allow the larger pieces of fat to bounce to the top of the flour, revealing the largest lumps that still need rubbing. The yield is about 131/2 cups; refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.

21/4 cups flour, plus more as needed 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces 1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 2/3 cup whole milk 2 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, for brushing

STEPS
Fork-sift or whisk 2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and salt in a large bowl, preferably wider than it is deep. Scatter the 1/4-inch-size pieces of chilled butter over the flour and work them in by rubbing the fat and flour with your fingers, as if snapping the thumb and fingers together (or use two forks or knives, or a pastry cutter), until the mixture looks like well-crumbled feta cheese. Scatter the 1/2-inch-size pieces of chilled butter over the flour mixture and continue snapping thumb and fingers together until no pieces remain larger than a pea. Shake the bowl occasionally to allow the larger pieces of fat to bounce to the top of the flour, revealing the largest lumps that still need rubbing. If this method takes longer than 5 minutes, place the bowl in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to re-chill the butter. Use your hand to make a deep hollow in the center of the flour. Pour half of the milk into the hollow and stir with a rubber spatula or large metal spoon, using broad, circular strokes to quickly pull the flour into the milk. Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened and the sticky dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. If some flour remains on the bottom and sides of the bowl, stir in 1 to 4 tablespoons of the remaining milk, just enough to form a shaggy, wet dough. If the dough is too wet, use more flour when shaping. Generously dust the work surface

with all-purpose flour. Use more of the flour to coat your hands. Turn the dough out onto the board and sprinkle the top lightly with flour. Fold the dough in half and pat it out into a 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick round, using a little additional flour only if needed. Flour again if necessary, and fold the dough in half a second time. If the dough is still clumpy, pat and fold a third time. Pat the dough out into a round 1/2-inch thick for regular biscuits, 3/4-inch thick for tall biscuits and 1 inch thick for large biscuits. Brush off any visible flour from the top. For each biscuit, dip a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter into flour and cut out the biscuit, pressing firmly, starting at the outside edge and cutting very close together, being careful not to twist the cutter. Dough scraps may be combined to make additional biscuits, although the scraps will make tougher biscuits. Transfer the biscuits to the pan or baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight, or freeze overnight. When ready to bake, position the top oven rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Remove the biscuits so you can brush the pan or baking sheet with a little melted butter. Arrange them in the pan or on the baking sheet. Bake the still-cold or frozen biscuits on the top oven rack for 6 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet from front to back. If the biscuits are browning too quickly on the bottom, slide a second baking sheet under the first one to help insulate them. Bake for 4 to 8 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown. When the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and brush the tops with the melted butter. Turn them out upside down on a plate to cool slightly. Serve hot, right side up.
