Mad Cow Not High on Worry List Experts: Salmonella, E. coli pose bigger risks to food supply

Judge Refuses to Dismiss GI’s WikiLeaks Charges

MWi^_d]jed If the mad cow found in California has you wondering about food safety, well, there are plenty of problems that pose serious risks to the food supply. But mad cow disease shouldn’t be high on the worry list. Just in the past few months, Americans have been sickened by contaminated sprouts, raw milk and sushi. Thirty people died last year from bacteria-tainted cantaloupe. And when it comes to hamburger, a dangerous strain of E. coli that can lurk in ground beef sickens thousands of people every year. “What we know is that 3,000 Americans die every year from preventable food-borne illnesses that are not linked” to mad cow disease, said Sarah Klein of the consumer advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest. “Things like E. coli, salmonella — that’s where we should be focusing our atten-

tion, outrage and policy.” The comparable numbers for mad cow disease? Four sick cows ever discovered in the U.S., the one announced on Tuesday the first since 2006 — and no human version of the illness linked to eating U.S. beef. “From simply a public health issue, I put it very, very low,” Cornell University food-safety expert Martin Wiedmann says of the level of concern about mad cow disease. Maintaining confidence in exports fuels the nation’s monitoring of the beef supply as much as continuing safety concerns, he said. CSPI points to other issues that

8WYaijeho Routine testing Tuesday of a dead dairy cow from central California showed the animal had bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, a disease that gradually eats holes in the animal’s brain. In other countries, BSE’s spread through herds was blamed on making cattle feed using recycled meat and bone meal from infected cows, so the U.S. has long banned feed containing such material. USDA testing found the cow developed BSE from a random mutation — called atypical BSE, which means it didn’t come from feed. (AP)

advocates call more relevant — such as stemming the food poisoning that the government estimates sickens 50 million people a year. For example, the government hasn’t ﬁnalized rules to improve the safety of produce. On the animal side, CSPI’s Caroline Smith DeWaal said 12,000 to 13,000 samples of ground beef and beef trimmings are tested for E. coli every year. Last fall, the government did say it would expand some of that testing, to look not just for the most worrisome strain of E. coli but some additional strains that have begun causing outbreaks.

Newt Gingrich began taking steps Wednesday to shut down his debtladen White House bid, setting the stage to endorse one-time rival Mitt Romney next week and rally Republicans behind their apparent nominee. Gingrich had a friendly telephone conversation Wednesday with Romney and had started planning an event where he would throw his support behind the likely nominee, Gingrich spokesman R.C Hammond said. The pair agreed to work together to unite conservatives against President Obama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear Romney is the nominee and the focus should be on defeating Obama,â&#x20AC;? Gingrich told disappointed supporters in Kings Mountain, N.C., the morning after Romney tightened his grip on the nomination by sweeping primary contests in ďŹ ve states.

The White House acknowledged that the contest had come down to Obama and Romney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There seems to be a general acknowledgment that the process has moved to that stage,â&#x20AC;? press secretary Jay Carney told reporters traveling with the president. As the White House ratchets up its focus on Romney, Gingrich will shift to helping Republican candidates across the country, paying off more than $4.3 million in campaign debt and rebuilding his reputation among conservatives.

Supreme Court Hears Ariz. Case Justices seem ready to accept major parts of immigration law

Bucking the Obama administration, Supreme Court justices seemed to find little trouble Wednesday with major parts of Arizona’s tough immigration law that require police to check the legal status of people they stop for other reasons. Arguing for the government, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. tried to convince the justices that they should view the law as inconsistent with federal immigration policy. He said the records check would allow the state to “engage effectively in mass incarceration” of immigrants lacking documentation. Arguing for Arizona, Paul Clement said the state law mirrored fed-

justices reacted skeptically to the administration’s argument that the state exceeded its authority when it made the records check, and another provision allowing suspected illegal immigrants to be arrested without warrants, part of the Arizona law aimed at driving illegal immigrants elsewhere. Chief Justice John Roberts took issue with Verrilli’s characterization of the check of immigration status, saying the state merely wants to notify federal authorities it has someone in custody who may be in the U.S. illegally. “It seems to me that the federal government just doesn’t want to know who’s here illegally and who’s not,” Roberts said. Arizona’s Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the law, was at the court Wednesday and told reporters she was “very, very encouraged” by the justices’ questions. MARK SHERMAN (AP)

The statement reflects mounting international frustration with daily attacks that have kept a ceasefire between troops loyal to President Bashar Assad and rebels seeking to oust him from taking hold. Any military intervention, however, would likely be blocked by Russia and China, which have twice used their vetoes as permanent council members to protect Syria from condemnation and remain opposed to military intervention in the 13-month-old conflict. The U.S. has for more than a year opposed the further militarization of the situation. Instead, all parties have backed a peace plan brokered by envoy

That plan, however, has been troubled from the start.

C[jhe ?dl[ij_]Wj[i :[hW_bc[dj Sources say Tuesday incident was likely due to human error JhWdifehjWj_ed Tuesday night’s Metro train derailment on the Blue and Orange lines most likely was caused by human error, according to two sources close to the investigation who were not authorized to speak on the record. Metro chief spokesman Dan Stessel said he had no comment on initial reports of what happened. He said the train is at the New Carrollton rail yard, undergoing “further inspection.”

The train was carrying about 1,000 people at the time, but no one was reported injured in the incident, according to Stessel. All service passing through Rosslyn was suspended for 20 to 30 minutes. Matt Bassett, chairman of the Tri-State Oversight Committee, which monitors safety at Metro, said the investigation would narrow the cause. “There is still work to do on how human performances, work processes and equipment may or may not have contributed to [the derailment],” he said. The TOC expects to provide more information to Metro at a board of directors safety com-

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ Some oversight watchdogs, board members and train experts criticized Metro for characterizing the accident as a “minor derailment” in its statements to the public Tuesday night. Any derailment is considered a safety matter, they said. Mort Downey, chairman of the safety and security committee for Metro’s board of directors, said in an email that “a derailment, especially on revenue service track, is a derailment and by definition a bad thing. What’s fortunate here is that the consequences are apparently minor.” (THE WASHINGTON POST )

mittee meeting on May 10, Bassett said. Nicholas Worrell, a spokesman for National Transportation Safety Board, said Wednesday, “We’re just monitoring it right now. We haven’t declared that we’re going to investigate.” According to Metro, the last time a train carrying passengers derailed was in February 2010. A six-car Metro train with passengers aboard went off the track at Farragut North. Hundreds of people were trapped underground for more than an hour, and three people suffered minor injuries in that accident. D A N A H E D G P E T H (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Barry’s Nurse Remark Criticized D.C. council member asked to apologize for insulting Filipinos MWi^_d]jed D.C. Council member Marion B.

tionships and finding solutions to common challenges.” Cuisia is calling on Barry, D-Ward 8, to apologize, saying Filipino nurses have stepped in to fill a vital need at U.S. hospitals. “Filipino nurses are known to be competent, hardworking, caring, and possess good work ethic,” Cuisia said. “These are some of the reasons why most patients prefer and trust them to fill a critical nursing shortage at U.S. hospitals.” Cuisia’s statement, which was posted on the embassy’s Web site, was first reported by the Washington Examiner.

A Classroom Set out in the Wild Jh_Wd]b[" LW$ Thirty-five miles south of the Capitol, just west of Interstate 95 and its infernal traffic, is a quiet, oftoverlooked swath of green — a national park founded during the Great Depression to give city kids an escape into nature. For decades, it served that purpose. But sometime in the 1980s, the children stopped coming, and since then — save for the odd church group or scout troop — the park has sat empty. Now that could change. NatureBridge, a Californiabased nonproﬁt organization that runs three- to ﬁve-day environmental education programs in some of the West’s most iconic parks, wants to turn this place — Prince William Forest Park, one of the largest green spaces in the Washington area — into an outdoor classroom for local students. “Getting kids reconnected to the outdoors has all kinds of ben-

The full Senate will vote on a bill that would give the District of Columbia more flexibility in scheduling special elections. The bill was introduced by Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who represents the District in Congress. It was prompted in part by the upcoming special election to replace former Councilmember Harry Thomas Jr., who pleaded guilty to embezzling government funds. Under current law, the district must hold a special election 114 days after a vacancy is declared. Norton’s bill would give D.C. a window between 70 days and 174 days, making it more likely that special elections could be held on previously scheduled election dates, saving taxpayer money. (AP)

Baylor QB Robert Griffin III is expected to be the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft Thursday night.

With draft suspense over, Redskins are eager to build around Griffin J^[ H[Zia_di Displaying more of a sense of humor than he’s been given credit for, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan played coy when asked about whom he will be selecting with the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft. “Well, if you guys are right, sounds like we’ll be picking Robert Grifﬁn III,” Shanahan said Wednesday at a predraft press

conference at Redskins Park. With Indianapolis already announcing it will pick Stanford QB Andrew Luck and the Redskins engineering a stunning trade to move up to the No. 2 slot, it’s a fait accompli that Washington will take the franchise quarterback it desperately needs in the Heisman Trophywinner from Baylor. “He’s got all the attributes that you look for in a quarterback, and

I’ll be very happy if he’s on our football team,” Shanahan said. “Nothing’s 100 percent yet, so I have to say 99.9.” The 6-foot-2 Griffin started three seasons at Baylor, where he completed 67.1 percent of his passes for 10,366 yards, 78 touchdowns and just 17 interceptions, including last year’s staggering completion rate of 72.4 percent and totals of 4,293 yards, 37 touchdowns and six interceptions.

D<B :hW\j (&'( the team and Griffin have been destined for each other, although it won’t be official until NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reads the pick Thursday night. “[The draft] is less stressful, because I already know where I’m going, and know where I’m going to call home,” Griffin told the Washington Post. So yes, let’s drop the pretense. RG3 will be a Redskin, and Shanahan sounded eager to get the dynamic signal-caller in the fold after several meetings with Griffin over the past few months. “He’s a natural leader,” Shanahan said. “Just because he’s got a lot of charisma and I don’t, don’t make fun of me. I think Robert, when you take a look at what he’s done through high school and you see what he’s done in college, you see his personality, and he’s a very relaxed guy. I’m very impressed with how he’s handled himself throughout this process.” Griffin has already made plenty of fans in the D.C. area thanks to his positive comments about the Redskins, autograph sessions in the region and upbeat personality symbolizing a rebirth after several dreadful years for Washington sports fans. More importantly, Griffin gives the Redskins the kind of dualthreat quarterback they’ve arguably never had, as Griffin’s accuracy and versatility will no doubt be utilized by offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to give Washington’s offense a boost.

Not since Joe Theismann’s career ended with a broken leg in 1985 have the Redskins had a quarterback they could count on for the better part of a decade. He started 113 games from 1978-85, taking Washington to two Super Bowls. He remains the franchise career leader in completions, attempts and yards passing. The Redskins did win a pair of Super Bowls after Theismann, with Doug Williams and with Mark Rypien, but that was back when the team had a run-first mantra. The Redskins have started 21 quarterbacks in the last 19 seasons, from lofty draft picks (Heath Shuler, No. 3 overall in 1994) to players signed off the street midseason (Tim Hasselbeck in 2003).

Zimmerman: Injury Not Major Short stint on the DL possible for the Nats’ star third baseman J^[ DWj_edWbi Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman felt “peace of mind” after receiving the results from the MRI exam of his shoulder, even if he still may fly back to Washington Thursday and land on the disabled list. Zimmerman and the Nationals feel certain he will not miss extensive time with structural damage, only a handful of games, at worst, with inflammation in his AC joint.

“I think the important thing is there’s nothing wrong with my shoulder,” Zimmerman said. “That was good news. I don’t think anyone really thought there was going to be anything wrong, but just to get it done and have proof that there is nothing wrong is peace of mind.” Zimmerman received a cortisone shot Saturday, the day the Nationals scratched him shortly before a win over the Marlins. Zimmerman felt no relief, though, because the team doctor who administered the shot, “missed the spot,”manager Davey Johnson said. Johnson expressed worry late

Tuesday night that Zimmerman could miss signiﬁcant time with the shoulder injury. Zimmerman’s MRI provided relief for him, too. “I was hearing all kinds of things,” Johnson said. “We’ve had a tough history this spring with some other serious injuries. That’s happened two or three times. I was real concerned.” If the Nationals need to place Zimmerman on the disabled list, they have several candidates at Class A A A Syracuse. Johnson mentioned Tyler Moore, Brett Carroll and Bryce Harper as possibilities, although he appeared to b e jok i ng ab out Ha r p er. ADAM KILGORE (THE WASHINGTON POST )

James Ready to Take Over Heat . F$C$ Thursday | CSN

Fhe 8Wia[jXWbb A year ago, it was all different. LeBron James calls it a transition phase, one where he was wrapped up in figuring out how his game was going to mesh with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. The way James sees it, the Heat growing pains are gone as he finishes his second regular season with Miami on Thursday night against the Wizards. And he hopes that means his annual championship quest will finally be fulfilled.

Driven by last season’s loss to Dallas in the NBA ﬁnals — a series where he made seven field-goal attempts in 68 fourth-quarter minutes — James and the Heat return to the postseason as the No. 2 seed on the Eastern Conference bracket.

Their ﬁrst-round opponent is still not determined. Their ultimate goal was determined long ago. “I have to be who I am,” James said in an interview with the Associated Press. “I have no problem taking over a game now.”

Here’s an example: In one recent game, Wade was walking to the bench for a timeout. Halfway there, he was met by James. For the next 45 seconds, James was in his teammate’s ear about something. He did all the talking. Wade did all the nodding. A year ago, such a display probably wouldn’t have happened where 20,000 people could see. “Obviously, last year we kind of got cheated a little bit out of the greatness of LeBron as a vocal leader,” Wade said. “He had so much going on, so much in his mind that he was just trying to show everybody with his play and his toughness.” TIM REYNOLDS (AP)

The annual croquet match between St. John’s and the U.S. Naval Academy has one constant: The Navy team always wears croquet whites.

D.C. Premiere and New Production

For the first time in the company’s 56 years, WNO brings the opera that made Verdi famous to the Opera House stage. In a stunning new production by Thaddeus Strassberger, the epic struggle of the Jews suppressed by Babylon’s King Nabucco is echoed in Italy’s nationalist conflict with Austria at the time Verdi created the opera. This landmark work is filled with grand and gorgeous music, including one of opera’s most famous choruses, “Va, pensiero,” adopted as Italy’s unofficial national anthem. WNO Music Director Philippe Auguin conducts, and Franco Vassallo and Csilla Boross make their company debuts as Nabucco and Abigaille. Performed in Italian with English supertitles.

A new show traces 70 years of cultural change through the lens of African-American art

The Smithsonian American Art Museum’s new “African-American Art: The Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Era and Beyond” exhibit features works from a relatively narrow span of years — 100 pieces by 43 artists, made between 1922 and 1994. But those decades were a particularly dynamic time of artistic and social foment that had a lasting impact on American art, a reality reflected through the show’s varied works. “It begins with the generation of artists of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and runs through the generation of people who were working during the civil rights movement of

Paintings like this 1940 work reveal the new style he adopted as soon as he landed in New York. He abandoned European expressionism for a funky, folkloric mode that drew on both traditional African art and his memories of the South.

It includes broken chains, symbolizing freedom, and tools, ready to build a new country. But there are also weapons. “The shield has been put down,” says curator Virginia Mecklenburg, “but the spear is still at hand, just in case.”

the ’50s and the ’60s,” also including later works that continued to process that history, says SAAM senior curator Virginia Mecklenburg. Represented are such eminent figures as Jacob Lawrence and Romare Bearden, whose experimental-realist

work reflected their experiences living in Harlem in the ’20s, and Sam Gilliam, who took inspiration from the music of Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald for his abstract works in the ’60s and ’70s in Washington, D.C. A little more than half of the pieces on view are photographs, including works by James VanDerZee, who chronicled the lives of middle-class black New Yorkers in the ’30s, and Gordon Parks, who snapped images of D.C. life before moving to Harlem in the ’40s. Some others are not as widely known — such as Roland L. Freeman, who currently shoots on the streets in D.C. and Baltimore. But the curator calls them “brilliant photographers whose work we think should be part of the national dialogue.” While the show’s art comes entirely from SAAM’s own collection, that doesn’t mean the pieces are overly familiar. “Close to half the show are works that haven’t been seen here before,” notes Mecklenburg. These include about a dozen recent acquisitions — a few, including two religiously themed Bearden prints, which were obtained with this exhibition in mind. The exhibit is organized not by chronology but by styles and subjects, which include spirituality, the urban experience, modernism and abstraction and what the organizer calls “the resonance of Africa.” This arrangement is meant “to show the points of thematic contact among these artists, but also the universality of what they’re doing.” The show stops short of the more recent postmodern explorations of black identity that the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s “30 Americans” exhibit showcased last fall. “We don’t do what they call the ‘post-black generation,’ whose take is very different,” says Mecklenburg. Instead, the show ends with ’90s works that still bear the weight of previous eras’ history, such as Melvin Edwards’ 1993 sculpture “Tambo,” a tribute to African National Congress leader Oliver Tambo. Like the larger show itself, says Mecklenburg, the piece “acknowledges major human suffering, but it’s also a vision of possibility.” MARK JENKINS (FOR E XPRESS)

There’s often considered to be a great divide between the arts and the sciences. Do you feel that way? There’s nothing inherently divided in the brain in terms of not being able to do both. But in general, the more time and energy you focus on one thing, the stronger it gets. When I was in school, I didn’t act at all. Now I don’t really practice neuroscience.

Do you still dabble in it? I teach neuroscience to middle- and highschoolers in our homeschooling community. It’s something that stays with me all the time. I can’t forget all the things that I’ve learned. It comes into play more than you’d think.

Why do girls seem to need an extra push to get into science? I think a lot of it is sociological. There’s nothing inherently different about the female brain. We have to put a tremendous amount of weight on the sociological patterns that for thousands of years didn’t place women in science. Of course there are exceptions, but a lot of it is simply what is seen as normal. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mt.

MUSEUM OF THE IMPERIAL COLLECTIONS, TOKYO

Japan sequestered itself from the West from 1600 to 1853, when most of the art in three current D.C. exhibitions was made. Yet despite this attempt to shield the country from Christian missionaries, Western culture seeped in. The paintings in “Colorful Realm: Japanese Bird-and-Flower Paintings by Ito Jakuchu,” at the National Gallery of Art, show the influence of realistic Western nature drawings. European composition shaped the style of the prints in “Hokusai: 36 Views of Mount Fuji,” at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. And the fanciful paintings in “Masters of Mercy: Buddha’s Amazing Disciples,” also at the Sackler, “use such European techniques as shading, modeling and foreshortening,” says James Ulak, the museum’s senior curator of Japanese art. All the works are susceptible to fading, and so are rarely exhibited. The 33 paintings of “Colorful Realm,” which will close April 29, have never been shown in their entirety outside Japan. “Hokusai” continues to June 17 and “Masters of Mercy” to July 8, but both will have works swapped out throughout, so none is subjected to light for the entire run. Ito’s paintings use a wealth of techniques, including painting on the reverse side, to create complex, vibrant hues; his humble creatures provide the audience for the Buddha and two Bodhisattvas (enlightened followers), depicted in a style that shows their Indian origins. There are Bodhisattvas aplenty in “Masters of Mercy,” 56 scrolls painted by Kano Kazunobu between 1854 and 1863, with Buddhist saints bat-

Former pop Svengalis set out to make music on their own terms Cki_Y

The guys in Miike Snow have created a monster. And they bring it on tour. The tight-knit trio — two Swedes and an American — makes music that slyly skirts the edges of dance, electronica and pop. On the road, though, they need an assist. Like a robot sidekick from an old sci-fi series, the fourth member of Miike Snow is a 9-by-9-foot wall of keyboards, synths, strobes and lasers that serves as the band’s primary instrument and as a light show. “We wanted to be able to keep the show more open, so we developed this huge synth,” says Pontus Winnberg, bragging that the device incorporates equipment once owned by ’70s disco whiz Giorgio Moroder. This fourth member can be very demanding. It’s too large to trans-

port in one piece, so they must take it apart after each show, pack up the 15 pieces, and then reassemble it at the next venue. “It’s the biggest diva in the band,” says Winnberg, but it’s worth it because the contraption gives them the ability to play all the elements of their songs live without backing tracks. “It’s allowed us to play on our own terms.” Playing on their own terms is crucial to the collective identity of Miike Snow, whose members are veterans of the music industry. American Andrew Wyatt did time in New York indie band the A.M., while Winnberg and Christian Karlsson worked together as Bloodshy & Avant, producing hit singles for Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue and Madonna. “We spent many years in that world, in an era when everyone was asking producers to do something new,” says Winnberg. “Labels wanted to hear something they had never heard before. Now, from what I’ve heard, it’s quite the opposite.” Miike Snow lets the trio continue the search for new sounds. Their sec-

Pontus Winnberg, Andrew Wyatt and Christian Karlsson were already music-industry vets before creating Miike Snow.

8WYaijeho Before forming Miike Snow with Andrew Wyatt, Pontus Winnberg and Christian Karlsson notched numerous hits as the production team Bloodshy & Avant. Some of their biggest include: 8h_jd[o If[Whi" ÇJen_YÈ0 The duo combined a bold beat, staccato acoustic strums and a sample from a Bollywood soundtrack to create the best single on Spears’ 2003 album “In the Zone.” @[dd_\[h Bef[p" Ç8hWl[È: The two wrote and produced the title track from J. Lo’s 2007 album, which percolates on a deceptively simple beat. Aob_[ C_de]k[" ÇIf[Wa[hf^ed[È0 Built on a bed of harp strums and scratchy beats, this 2008 club anthem predates Lady Gaga’s similar “Telephone.” ?D=H?:0 Winnberg and Karlsson’s latest venture is a collective that features a who’s who of Sweden’s bustling pop scene, including Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn & John and Kleerup.

The NYC band gives indie rock standards a bluegrass twist Cki_Y New York City–based roots-rockers Punch Brothers are well-known for doing adventurous covers that cross genres in surprising ways. The title track from Radiohead’s 2000 album, “Kid A,” may be their most interesting choice so far: The Brothers’ version, which forms the centerpiece of the band’s third album,

“Who’s Feeling Young Now?,” features none of the sequencers and synthesizers that lend the original its distinctive spacey vibe. Instead, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and bass capture the ambience of the song with a warmer, more organic feel. “Covers are an incredible way inside the creative mind of various artists,” says Chris Thile, the band’s mandolin player and singer who writes most of the band’s original tunes. “The only way to really understand what they’re doing is to actually perform as if you are

New York City’s Punch Brothers make bluegrass palatable to indie kids.

the song’s creator. Once you get inside the song, you have a better understanding of what it must have felt like to write it. Then you can pursue those ideas and feelings in your own material.” Perhaps one of the Punch Brothers’ most compelling virtues is their refusal to differentiate between artrock and bluegrass, between string bands and symphonies. “Music is way more liquid that those terms can contain,” says Thile. “There are 12 notes and people use them in different ways, but the only differences are really aesthetic.”

ond album, “Happy to You,” released in March, may be the most ambitious pop record of the year: Not only does it feature cameos by Swedish stars Lykke Li and Gustav Ejstes (of the band Dungen), the Swedish military drum corps adds drama and rhythm to “Bavarian #1 (Say You Will).” “That’s probably the most fun we have — finding something that no one has heard before,” says Winnberg. “We think of Miike Snow as completely without boundaries.” STEPHEN M.

W hile they offer a way to explore the blurred boundaries between various musical styles, covers like “Kid A” are “a means to an end rather than an end in itself,” says Thile. “I feel like I learn things about the songs and me, but I’d get bored with an allcovers album. Writing is one of the most exciting things for me. I love looking at others’ songs and allowing them to color the music we write, but feeling like I’m contributing to the great big musical is a lot more interesting to me.” STEPHEN M.

Émilien Néron and Sophie Nélisse play students coping with their teacher’s suicide.

Adem_d] ÉOekÊ “Monsieur Lazhar” gave the translators plenty to do, including inventing a last name for a character. During one scene, Lazhar (Fellag, pictured) is gently mocked by another teacher for continually using the formal “vous” in French, instead of the informal “tu.” Since there is no English equivalent, the subtitles say that Lazhar insists on calling her “Miss Lajoie” instead of by her first name.

one of the ways he does that is to not talk about himself, and not reveal himself to other people,” says Falardeau. “He is kind of like an angel. We see him a little bit at the immigration office and at his home, but we know nothing about his personal life, and I wanted to keep it that way. I thought it was interesting that the character would be so obsessed with making the children talk about their grieving, but not wanting to talk himself.” That’s when language comes into play: Though Lazhar speaks French fluently (as well as Arabic,

children are in their English class and Lazhar can barely follow along. Even French presents problems. “Even when he talks in French, his level of French is way over their heads,” says Falardeau. Lazhar also uses rather antiquated methods of education: desks in straight rows instead of in teambuilding groups, and using Balzac for the kids’ lessons in dictation. Beyond all that, though, there ultimately is a bond between them all. “He thinks he’s the right teacher for them at that particular time,” says Falardeau. “And also, unconsciously, he needs to be surrounded by children after losing his family.”

In “THE RAVEN,” opening Friday, John Cusack plays Edgar Allen Poe, who finds that he has a fan. Such a fan, in fact, that the guy is killing people in the manners that Poe described in his short stories. A killer adds interest to any film, as these killers prove.

Nobody has all the answers, and that is especially true for those seeing “Sound of My Voice,” in theaters Friday. It’s about two hipsterish pseudo-journalists (Christopher Denham and Nicole Vicius) who go undercover to investigate a cult leader (Brit Marling, whom you might recognize from “Community” as the woman Britta thought was a lesbian who thought Britta was a lesbian). The two soon find out that the reason many cult leaders choose that profession is that they’re pretty persuasive. The film leaves multiple loose threads, so if you’re the type of person who freaked out at the end of “Castaway,” skip it. But if you’re comfortable with leaving a little room for wonder in your life, the film (anchored by Marling’s Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th performance) should leave you satisfied.

French Canadian film ‘Monsieur Lazhar’ looks at a teacher with a hidden past When substitute teacher and Algerian refugee Bachir Lazhar arrives to teach in a Quebecois public school, he finds himself in an unfamiliar world. Philippe Falardeau, director of the new film “Monsieur Lazhar,” thinks American audiences might have a similar experience watching the French-language tale, which opens in D.C. Friday. English-speaking audiences “will miss some nuances, some plays on words, some of the humor,” says Falardeau. “But for the main themes of the film, which are grief and immigration and the education system, I think it doesn’t matter.” The story begins with tragedy: The children’s former teacher hangs herself, and her body is discovered by one of the students. Lazhar (played by Algerian comedian Fellag) has lost his family to terrorism in Algeria. He relates to the students’ pain and confusion, but their coping mechanisms are very different. “I like the fact that the character is trying to deal with his own demons and his painful past, and

It doesn’t matter that Anthony Hopkins played Lecter in three films. The best moment will always be the “slurpslurpslurp” that comes remembering those fava beans and that nice Chianti in “The Silence of the Lambs.”

* John Doe We are not going to give away the ending of 1995’s “Se7en” here, because that would mean thinking about the ending of “Se7en” and we try not to think about the ending of “Se7en.” Thanks, Kevin Spacey!

+ Gaear Grimsrud A death by wood chipper would be horrifying, which is why it’s nice (right?) that Gaear (Peter Stormare) offs Carl (Steve Buscemi) with an ax in 1996’s “Fargo.” And THEN shoves his body into the wood chipper.

No one likes cheering for the Caps with leftovers in tow. (A container full of meatballs in one hand and half a lasagna in the other spells trouble.) That’s why this familystyle Italian joint known for its oversized portions has a special fridge where diners can store their leftovers at no cost. That way, diners can attend events at the nearby Verizon Center or browse the National Portrait Gallery without worrying about spilling ragu on themselves.

Simply request the free ride when making your reservation or before ordering dinner. After the performance, you’ll be whisked back to the restaurant to pick up your car or catch a taxi home.

Want to experience this AAA Five Diamond Award-winning restaurant, but not interested in driving an hour and a half to get there? Now you can book a seat on the Inn’s luxury bus for $75 per person (available on April 26, though future dates may be added; call to make a reservation). On the way out from the downtown D.C. pickup point, you’re pampered with champagne and savory snacks. Coming back, you can snuggle under a blanket with your sweetheart on a couch or recline solo in one of the easy chairs.

Jack White’s scattershot solo debut ‘Blunderbuss’ hits its intended target 7bXkc H[l_[m As if on schedule, Jack White’s solo debut “Blunderbuss” is drawing comparisons to Bob Dylan’s breakup masterpiece “Blood on the Tracks,” because it catalogs White’s divorce from wife Karen Elson in angry and exhaustive detail, and because his use of Dylan as some kind of spirit animal is becoming more evident the older White gets. “Blunderbuss” is White unfettered and unmoored, as much the illegitimate offspring of Robert Plant as he is Dylan’s (un)natural heir. It’s restless, cranky and great, although weirdly inconsequential: less a statement of artistic purpose than a stellar collection of songs. It’s a high-strung blues-folk album at its core, a procession of genre exercises that feel like poses airlifted out of the rockabilly and boogie-woogie piano exhibits at some dusty museum of Americana tropes. White moves through these roots maneuvers as if he were trying on suits, but shape-shifting is his specialty. “Blunderbuss” is unfocused

“Girls” is the most funnoying show on TV. The HBO series (Sundays, 10:30 p.m.) follows four self-absorbed single women as they chase their dreams in Manhattan. Let’s consider the annoyingness factor. Aspiring writer Hannah (Lena Dunham, above) believes her parents should support her while she works as an unpaid intern, and thinks maybe it would be a good thing to get AIDS because “no one is going to call you and 8o CWhY say, ‘Did you take an I_bl[h HTML course?’” It is also Extremely Annoying that Hannah lives in a virtually all-white world … in 21st century New York City! As for her friends, they are pretty annoying. A newly pregnant friend decides to get an abortion, invites Hannah to meet her at the clinic, then doesn’t show up because she is hooking up with a stranger. Hannah’s boyfriend annoyingly pretends that Hannah is an 11-year-old junkie with a Cabbage Patch lunchbox, is cavalier about condoms and believes an appropriate post-coital query is: “You want a Gatorade?” Yet despite these high levels of annoyingness, sometimes “Girls” is just plain funny. Hannah’s response to the Gatorade question: “What flavor?” Read Marc’s previous columns at: expressnightout.com/muse

NASTY LITTLE MAN

Funnoyingness

7 Cki_YWb A[#Ce IW^#8[[ Hot on the heels of his solo debut, Jack White will make his feature film scoring debut in “The Lone Ranger.” White will write, produce and perform the score for producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski’s adaptation of the 1950s TV series, which stars Johnny Depp, left, as Tonto and Armie Hammer, right, as the titular vigilante. “We’re thrilled to hear his fresh take on the William Tell Overture,” Bruckheimer told Variety. “The Lone Ranger” will be released on May 31, 2013. (E XPRESS)

but never false. It’s the logical extension of his work with the Raconteurs and, especially, the White Stripes. “Sixteen Saltines” is one of the few tracks to conjure up the blast furnace heat of that late, lamented duo, although it’s one of many that makes White sound like the leader of a Plant cover band. “Trash Tongue Talker” is a country-rock barroom 8bkdZ[hXkii rave-up that brieﬂy channels the Band. “The peoJack White ple around me won’t let me become what I need to,” White gripes unconvincingly on the dolorous “On and On and On.” “They want me the same.” Hangers-on may be frequent targets, but women don’t come off well, either: They’re creatures of eternal falseness, apparently, who wear too much makeup and want to kill White’s mother and send her to hell. Strange, then, that the disc’s lesser tracks could make a person miss Meg White. The album’s most reassuring presence may be Elson, a fine singer in her own right and, apparently, not one to hold a grudge. She provides harmony vocals throughout.

Newcomers for the third installment in the franchise, which is due in theaters on July 20, include Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The latter three appeared in Nolan’s 2010

film “Inception.” The preview Tuesday was dark, like so many scenes in Nolan’s Batman vision. It opened with images of Bane, a masked Hardy, terrorizing a plane. Hathaway was featured heavily. In one scene, she appeared to be working as a servant at Wayne Manor. As she fled the mansion, she ripped off the dainty white collar of her maid costume. Nolan said his goal was to create a “spectacle” that makes viewers excited the moment they enter a theater. “What defines cinema,” he said, “and what gets people out of the house to watch it, is spectacle.” CRISTINA SILVA (AP)

This isn’t your father’s Caped Crusader. Christopher Nolan’s latest Batman flick features an injured Bruce Wayne leaning on a cane, Anne Hathaway in a leather bodysuit as Catwoman, and a Gotham City football game interrupted by explosions and mayhem. Nolan unveiled footage from “The Dark Knight Rises” on Tuesday at CinemaCon, a Las Vegas conference for theater owners. The various scenes showed collapsing bridges, rolling army tanks and Christian Bale returning as an older, more weathered Batman. Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman are also reprising their roles. Nolan, known on set as “the governor,” said he wanted to finish his interpretation of the classic Batman story “in the biggest way possible.” “We’ve been working on this story for nine years,” he said. “And so it’s with mixed feelings that we finish this thing.”

Comedian Kevin Hart is all smiles. Although he’s small in stature, his presence — and excitement about his projects — is not, perhaps confirming the truth in the tongue-incheek title of his 2009 stand-up special, “I’m a Grown Little Man.” The reason for his cheer? “The Five-Year Engagement,” a ﬁlm in which he co-stars with Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, opens Friday.

Kevin Hart appears in both “Think Like a Man” and “The Five-Year Engagement.”

Yes. Here’s why. I am a product of a two-week community college education. So my college experience is very minimal. [To play] Doug, I had to do some research. I had to study to get my terms and verbiage down. “Think Like a Man” has received a lot of mainstream promotion from networks that don’t always promote movies with all-black casts.

Why do you think that is?

“Think Like a Man” is not a black movie. It has a black cast, but it’s not a black movie. Black people aren’t the only people that are going to go see this film and relate to it and enjoy it. It’s a universal film. Both your new ﬁlms are romantic comedies. Is that your new thing?

When I look at the success of comedians that I looked up to in the past, the romantic comedies that they’ve done are huge. That road is a good road to go down, because you can appeal to everyone, and by that I mean, women will go see it but men will still root for you. AKOTO OFORI-AT TA (THE ROOT )

B_l[ <hec D[m Oeha In a move to inject new life into its kookiness, “30 Rock” is going live this week — its second such outing. The theme of the episode plays into the idea of Live vs. Filmed as the Kabletown corporate bosses announce they will no longer pay for live production of “TGS.” After first resisting, Liz (Tina Fey, right) and Jack (Alec Baldwin, left) realize their lives would be simplified by shooting “TGS” episodes on film, fast and cheap.

Law and Order When someone destroys the study group’s science experiment on “Community” (8 p.m., NBC), everyone bands together to find the culprit and hold a trial. Professor Kane (Michael K.

“There is something profoundly bizarre about the Beach Boys putting out new music in 2012, especially considering how many artists (especially in the indie world) have exploited the sound they helped invent.” — KYLE ANDERSON AT MUSICMIX.EW.COM wonders how

such artists as Bon Iver and Katy Perry feel about competing directly with the Beach Boys and lead singer Brian Wilson, who recently released a new reunion single called “That’s Why God Made the Radio.”

“Maybe the reason ‘Veep’ misses the mark for me is this — as a satire, the show has nothing to be satirical about. We’ve come close to having a woman as vice president, but so far we have no idea how that experience as second-incommand would actually be any different from Joe Biden’s or Al Gore’s.” — PUNDITMOM.COM was disappoint-

ed by the new HBO comedy series starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, adding, “what we get is an almost-comedy about what we’ve seen so far in vice presidents, rather than an imagined view of how things might be different when a woman steps into those shoes.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) What routine gives you on the one hand, a little uncertainty and adventure can provide on the other; both make you whole. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Honesty may not be the best policy today, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have any other options â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least not right now. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find yourself bringing up the rear more times than is comfortable today. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make a change that really matters. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) There is more to a certain situation than dollars and cents. You must be willing to put your own ideals to the test in a new way.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A question of chemistry arises today, but none of it has to do with atoms and molecules. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a question of heart-to-heart. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) What seemed at first to be nothing but routine is revealed to be something that you cannot afford to take for granted today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may have to take a trip in order to escape the repercussions arising from a bad choice made under duress during morning hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may have messages to send today that must not be picked up by anyone but the intended recipient. Look around all corners.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You cannot protect yourself and someone else at the same time today, so you have a difficult choice to make â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and quickly, too. ARIES (March 20-April 19) Ideas spawned today are likely to have a great deal in common, no matter who comes up with them. Even bitter rivals can be like-minded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It is up to you to see that things turn out the way they are intended â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and you have more direct control over things than you think. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Circumstances today may seem to be stacked against you, but you are simply turning a blind eye to an opportunity that can really pay off.
