Military Sex Assaults on The Rise, Pentagon Says Obama responds to report, says he has no tolerance for abuse Washington Sexual assaults in the military are a growing epidemic across the services, and thousands of victims are still unwilling to come forward despite a slew of new oversight and assistance programs, according to Pentagon documents. Troubling new numbers estimate that up to 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year, according to survey results released against a backdrop of scandals, including an ongoing investigation into more than 30 Air Force instructors for assaults on trainees at a Texas base The report comes just days after the Air Force’s head of sexual assault prevention was arrested last weekend on charges of groping a woman in a suburban Vir-
Conflicting Numbers Military officials said they are concerned that most troops may be reluctant to press charges or formally report sexual assault to authorities. That is highlighted in the conflicting numbers in reported assaults versus the number who said in anonymous surveys that they were abused. (THE WASHINGTON POST )
3,374 26,000 The number of sexualassault reports recorded by the Pentagon last year, compared with 3,192 in 2011, according to a separate report made public Tuesday.
The estimated number of military personnel who said in anonymous surveys and sampling research that they experienced “unwanted sexual contact” in 2012. That is up from about 19,300 in 2010, according to an ongoing Defense Department study.
ginia parking lot. And it follows a heated debate over whether commanders should be stripped of the authority to overturn military jury verdicts, such as one officer did in a recent sexual assault conviction. President Barack Obama delivered a sharp rebuke Tuesday, saying he has no tolerance for the problem, and he said he talked to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel about it.
He said that any military member found guilty of sexual assault should be held accountable, prosecuted and fired. “We’re going to have to not just step up our game, we have to exponentially step up our game to go after this hard,” he said. The report says that of the 1.4 million active-duty personnel, 6.1 percent of active-duty women
Meanwhile ... Senators of both parties are proposing changes to how the military handles accusations of sexual assault. A bill by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., set for release next week would remove decision-making power on sexual-assault cases from the military chain of command. A separate proposal by Sens. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., would include providing military lawyers to sexual-assault victims and expanding the Pentagon’s sexual-assault prevention team.

— or 12,100 — say they experienced unwanted sexual contact in 2012, a sharp increase over the 8,600 who said that in 2010. For men, the number increased from 10,700 to 13,900. A majority of the offenders were military members or Defense Department civilians or contractors. Hagel ordered a series of steps and reviews to increase officers’ accountability for what happens under their commands. “Sexual assault is a crime that is incompatible with military service and has no place in this department,” Hagel said.

‘Nobody Wants Him’ Search drags on to find burial spot for Boston bomb suspect Boston
Meanwhile … The head of The One Fund, created after the Boston Marathon bombings, warned victims Tuesday to lower their expectations about how much the fund can provide. Kenneth Feinberg hosted a public meeting that was attended by victims and family members of victims to go over a draft plan for distributing the donations. Feinberg said the $28 million raised isn’t nearly enough to fully compensate the families of the three killed and the more than 260 hurt. He said the plan isn’t final, and some in the audience urged him to take more time to ensure greater payments go to those of lesser means. (AP)

But officials in the cities and towns where the plots are located have said no. “It’s not only Massachusetts that doesn’t want him,” Stefan said. “Nobody wants him.”

Redwood City, Calif. As smoke thickened and a fire grew in the back of the limousine, Nelia Arellano desperately tried to squeeze through a 3-foot-by-1∏foot partition. Stuck for a moment, Arellano made her way into the front seat. Three of her friends quickly followed. Five others didn’t make it. Their bodies were later found pressed against the partition. Arellano said Monday that she believes the driver, Oliver Brown, could have done more to help during the fire, which took place Saturday night on one of the busiest bridges on the San Francisco Bay. With a cut visible on her face, an emotional Arellano told KGOTV that she yelled at the driver to

The city manager in Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived, has urged his family not to ask to have him buried there because the attention would make it difficult for residents trying to get back to their lives.

Brown, a San Jose man who worked for the limo company for the past two months, has said that one of the passengers tapped on the partition behind him, saying something about smoke. No smoking was allowed, he told them. Then the taps turned to urgent knocks, and someone screamed “Pull over!” Brown said he stopped on the bridge as soon as he could. Then he helped pull the women out through the partition, he said. But Arellano said that when Brown did finally stop, he did nothing to help the women get out of the burning car after he exited. (AP)

Israel: Forget Them Not ID’ing victims grows urgent as Holocaust survivors fade away Rehovot, Israel Rivka Fringeru battled tears as she reeled off a list of names she has rarely voiced in 70 years: her father, Moshe; her mother, Hava; and her brothers, Michael and Yisrael. All perished in the Holocaust after the Harabju family was rounded up in 1944 and sent to ghettos and camps. Only Rivka, 82, and her brother Marco survived. Like many others, they spent the rest of their lives trying to forget. Yad Vashem, Israel’s national Holocaust memorial and museum, is asking them to remember. Experts have documented the names of about 4.2 million of the roughly 6 million Jews who were killed by the Nazis in World War II, and officials are going door-to-door in a race to record the memories of elderly survivors before their sto-
950 N. Glebe Rd., 6th Floor Arlington, VA 22203 Metro: Orange Line to Ballston
Nearly Six Decades and Counting Yad Vashem’s goal is to collect the names of all 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The memorial’s very name — Yad Vashem is Hebrew for “a memorial and a name” — alludes to its central mission of commemorating the dead as individuals, rather than mere numbers like the Nazis did. It hasn’t been an easy task. The project began in 1955, but over the following half century, fewer than 3 million names were collected, mostly because the project was not widely known. Many survivors refrained from reopening wounds, or they clung to hopes that their relatives might still be alive. (AP)

ries are lost forever. The Names Recovery Project encourages Holocaust survivors to fill pages of testimony about those they knew who were killed. It is a painstaking process, com-
plicated by trauma, attempted cover-ups and limited record-keeping. The outreach effort has taken on a greater sense of urgency, with volunteers spanning the country to engage the fewer than 200,000 remaining survivors in Israel and etch the names of the dead into history. Testimony also is being collected from those across the globe. Despite the exhausting effort, Fringeru said she was pleased she did it. “It’s important that people know,” she said. “I hope that now [my family] won’t be forgotten.” ARON HELLER (AP)

Another roadside bomb hit a vehicle carrying a local leader of a secular party — the Pakistan People’s Party. The blast killed the leader, Zahir Shah, officials said.

Metro Sees Increase in Robberies Agency says iPhones, clothes are popular with system thieves Washington Metro said it is seeing an uptick in robberies for the first three months of this year, as snatchings of iPhones continue to be a problem on the system. Robberies are up 36 percent — 121 incidents from January to March, from 89 incidents during the same time period last year. Metro officials said these robberies include crimes in which a suspect confronts a person and demands
their property with “force or the threat of force.” Twenty-nine percent of the 121 robbery incidents involved iPhone thefts. While the number of snatching and pickpocket incidents on Metro dropped to 144 incidents in the first quarter of this year, compared to 239 incidents a year ago — a five-year high — 67 percent of snatchings this year were of Apple iPhones, according to Metro statistics. Newly appointed Metro Transit Police Chief Ron Pavlik is expected to give an update on the transit agency’s most recent crime statistics to the board of directors at Thursday’s monthly committee
Meanwhile … To combat robberies, Metro Transit Police Chief Ron Pavlik said he will redeploy his officers to focus on areas that he considers “hot spots” in their patrols. He also plans to have transit officers patrol fewer stations, and he is encouraging riders to register their electronic devices with tracking software in case they are stolen. (T WP)
meetings. Pavlik said Tuesday that suspects are using a variety of tactics in robbing riders. Sometimes, a person pretends
to have a weapon under their shirt and then robs a person. In other instances, groups of young adults ages 12 to 20 are robbing victims of “brand-name jackets, high-end sneakers,” Pavlik said. “There’s a wolf-pack mentality where they’ll use force to remove a victim’s shoes or threaten him with violence to remove his jacket,” Pavlik said. “They want those more expensive items of iPhones or jackets.” He said the robberies are not occurring on any one particular line in the system but typically happen at transfer stations such as L’Enfant Plaza or Gallery Place.

Washington Washington saw an increase of about 1 million visitors last year, one of its largest in a decade, counting a record 18.9 million tourists at the nation’s capital in 2012, officials announced Tuesday. Statistics released by the tourism bureau Destination D.C. show a 5.5 percent increase in total visitors compared with 2011. A study found that domestic visitation grew by 4.2 percent to reach 16.8 million U.S. visitors last year. Growth in international visitors was a major factor driving increased visitation, said Elliott Ferguson, the president and CEO of Destination D.C. The number of visitors from China increased by about 92 percent, he said. Ferguson said the growth in

One neighbor says a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another heard pounding on the home’s doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows. Both times, police showed up, the neighbors say, but never went inside. Neighbors also said the owner of the house joined others at a candlelight vigil for two of the missing girls. Now, after three women who vanished a decade ago were found captive at the rundown house Monday in a discovery that exhilarated the city, Cleveland police are facing questions for the second time in four years about their handling of missing-person cases and are conducting an internal review. City Safety Director Martin Flask said that investigators had no record of any tips or calls about criminal activity at the house after the victims vanished but were still checking their databases. Police did go to the house twice in the past 15 years, but not in connection with the women’s disappearance, officials said. The three women were rescued after one of them flagged down a neighbor, Charles Ramsey, who then helped her slip through an obstructed front door. She then called 911. “Help me. I’m Amanda Berry,” she told a 911 dispatcher. “I’ve been kidnapped and I’ve been missing for 10 years and I’m, I’m here, I’m free now.” Berry, 27; Michelle Knight, 32; and Gina DeJesus, about 23, had apparently been held captive in the house since their teens or early 20s,
A Captive’s Homecoming On Tuesday, a sign hanging on a fence decorated with dozens of balloons outside the home of Gina DeJesus’ parents read “Welcome Home Gina.” Her aunt Sandra Ruiz told reporters that her niece had an emotional reunion with family members nine years after she was abducted. “She recognized everyone,” Ruiz said. Many of her loved ones and friends had held out hope of seeing her again, holding candlelight vigils and hanging posters. For years, Amanda Berry’s mother kept her room exactly as it was, said Tina Miller, a cousin. When magazines addressed to Berry arrived, they were piled in the room alongside presents for birthdays and Christmases she missed. (AP)
said Police Chief Michael McGrath. Police arrested three brothers: Ariel Castro, 52; Pedro Castro, 54; and Onil Castro, 50. Ariel Castro owned the home, situated in a poor neighborhood dotted with boarded-up houses south of downtown Cleveland. No immediate charges were filed. A 6-year-old girl believed to be Berry’s daughter was also found in the home, said Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba. He would not say who the father was or where the child was born. The women were reported by

police to be in good health. “These three young ladies have provided us with the ultimate definition of survival and persever-
ance,” said Stephen Anthony, head of the FBI office in Cleveland. “The healing can now begin.” Over the past decade or so, investigators twice dug up backyards looking for Berry and continued to receive tips about her and DeJesus every few months, even in recent years. But few leads ever came in about Knight, who was the first of the three to disappear. Police would not say how the women were taken or how they were hidden in the same neighborhood where they had vanished. JOHN COYNE AND THOMAS J. SHEERAN (AP)

Penalties Kill the Caps

Focus for Game 4 will be on staying out of the penalty box
said. “It factors into the minutes.” Oates even double-shifted Ovechkin on the fourth line during the second period to get him back into a groove. When at even-strength, the Capitals played a solid game and were in a position to claim a 3-0 series lead, but that was undone by their penalty troubles. One power-play goal has been scored in each game of the series so far, each one by the team that went on to win the game.
Stanley Cup Playoffs The Capitals were a fairly disciplined team in the second half of the regular season, averaging just 3.4 minors and 3.0 penalty kills per game — a significant drop from the 4.2 and 3.9 they averaged in the first half of the season.

GAME 4
Been Here Before Since the NHL went to best-ofseven series for the entire playoffs in 1987, the Capitals have lost Game 3 each time they have had a 2-0 series lead, including this year’s first-round matchup against the New York Rangers. In four of the past six series that started this way, the Capitals went on to be eliminated.

Yet those undisciplined ways returned at an inopportune time Monday during the Capitals’ 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 3. Washington took six minor penalties in the game and faced six penalty-killing situations. The Capitals had only two games all season — both in January — with more than six penalty kills. “I just felt like the first two periods, all we were doing was killing,” forward Eric Fehr said Tuesday. “I don’t even remember a five-on-five shift with my line.” The Capitals officially killed off five of the Rangers’ six power-play chances, though Rangers forward Brian Boyle’s first-period goal was practically a power-play goal, since forward Joel Ward was

just leaving the penalty box when Boyle scored. While the Capitals had some success with the penalty kill, taking that many penalties in a short span — six in the first 26:32 — stunted their momentum and wasted energy.
“It’s very hard [to keep a rhythm with so many penalties],” coach Adam Oates said, adding that he felt some of the penalty calls Monday night were “dicey.” Washington’s offensive stars not tasked with penalty killing, par-
ticularly Alex Ovechkin and forward Mike Ribeiro, risk going cold if they’re left sitting on the bench too long, Oates noted. “Troy [Brouwer] killed, Marty [Erat] kills, [Nicklas Backstrom] kills. Ovi’s sitting there,” Oates
Discipline will be a primary focus during Game 4 tonight. “Our PK has been great for us as of late, but if you take that many penalties, they’re bound to get good looks. They’re bound to score,” Brouwer said. “A lot of our penalties were unnecessary penalties away from our goal, which gives them an opportunity to try and score. We’ve got to clean up that aspect of our game, continue to work hard, continue to finish our checks, but do it without taking penalties.” ADAM VINGAN (FOR EXPRESS)

WEN BAO / FOR CHINA DAILY
WU CHANGQIN / FOR CHINA DAILY
Wangjing Soho development by British architect Zaha Hadid (left) and CCTV building by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas (above) are two landmark projects in Beijing.
Building more than bridges Together Western architectural firms and Chinese developers are stretching the boundaries of design, Kelly Chung Dawson reports.
W
hen news broke in late 2012 that developers in Chongqing were building a near exact duplicate of Zaha Hadid’s Wangjing Soho development in Beijing, the British architect’s reaction was surprisingly magnanimous. “That could be quite exciting,” she said of the potential for another developer to add innovation or improve upon her work.Soon afterward,her firm issued a threat of litigation against the developer, Chongqing Meiquan, which denied the allegation and launched an advertising campaign proclaiming: “Never meant to copy, only want to surpass”. The Chongqing structure is scheduled to be completed in 2014, a deadline that has both the alleged copycat and its inspiration racing to finish construction first.
C H I N A DA I LY
CHINAWATCH
Hadid is one of a number of high-profile Western architects commissioned to work on splashy Chinese projects, including stateof-the-art entertainment and arts complexes, airports and luxury hotels. Completed in 2010,Hadid’s Guangzhou Opera House employs a revolutionary asymmetrical design. Rem Koolhaas’ head-turning design for Beijing’s CCTV building, completed in 2008, was labeled “maybe the greatest work of architecture built in this century” by the New York Times. Less reported has been the wave of small- to mid-sized Western architectural firms that have found steady business designing less glamorous projects such as multi-use retail and business centers, private residences and other structures, feeding a demand for growth and construction in lower-tier cities. Many US firms also said that they had more leeway in China to experiment
with creative design than in their riskaverse home market, which had been slow to recover from the economic recession. Chinese developers choose to contract Western architectural firms for a variety of reasons, most notably the prestige a Western name can bring to a Chinese development. For Western firms, high-paying splashy projects are also enticing. “Obviously there’s the market, and the prestige of doing work internationally,” said Kevin Kudo-King of Olson Kundig Architects, a mid-sized firm based in Seattle. “We like being an international firm. From a selfish point of view, we feel that doing international work makes our work better.”
Designing in China
However, designing for the Chinese market can feel liberating because in contrast to US conditions, the Chinese government seems determined to
push construction growth, said Clark Manus, CEO of Heller Manus Architects in San Francisco and president of the American Institute of Architects. “It has been extremely refreshing for us to explore new ideas in China that we would not have been able to do in San Francisco due to planning and zoning restrictions,” he said. “They’re able to be more forward thinking in some ways; simply put, the government is making things happen.” Line and Space, a small Tucson, Arizona-based firm that has done 79 projects in China, and is now working on two more with Legend, a Chinese development company. “They give us an exceptional amount of time to develop our design ideas, have provided strong critiques and supported our investigations and studies of site situations,” firm founder Les Wallach said. In 2006,ZK Real Estate Development Co hired 10 Western architectural firms to design 78 unique residences for a 19-hectare luxury villa development outside Shanghai called the Zhongkai Sheshan Villa project. Stuart Silk, head of a 17-person firm based in Seattle,
was commissioned to create nine residences. The Chinese developer hired a Harvard University-educated architecture consultant, Wang Qian, who encouraged the Western firms to run free with their ideas. The project was an opportunity to go big, Silk said. “They really encouraged us to use our best judgment,” he said. “They felt they had hired talented architects, and they made it clear that they didn’t want us to feel hindered aesthetically.” But as the process continued, the developer and the consultant Wang began to clash, Silk said. Wang and other local architects who had helped in the early days of the project seemed to lose control of the project, which became “driven by people who didn’t know what they were doing”, he said. “In the end, I was disappointed. It took a few years more than we thought it would for them to complete the buildings, and they only kind of look like what we designed.”
Taking a risk
Zhonggui Zhao, a Yale Universityeducated partner at Zephyr Architects in Beijing, said such clashes with Chinese developers and the government are not isolated. “On the one hand, you can say that the Chinese developer/government agencies respect the architects,” he said. “They are fearless about risk taking. They have helped many Western architects to realize their dream (designs), which would never have been built in their home countries. On the other hand, they are very unprofessional. Most of them don’t care about craftsmanship and building quality. That change will take years.” But James Zheng, head of the China operation for Goettsch Partners, a mid-sized firm based in Chicago, noted that there had been a dramatic improvement in the sophistication of developers and clients in the last 10 years. “They’ve seen more projects outside China, and these days they’re talking in the same language about efficiency and sustainability,” he said. “Ideas that originate in both cultures come together to create something unique and truly special. I think there’s a realization today that there needs to be a clear, shared vision. We’re seeing that more and more,” said Kudo-King from Olson Kundig Architects.
Yang Yang, Chen Nan and Gan Tian in Beijing contributed to the story.
New translation aims to bring erotic novel into the mainstream By KELLY CHUNG DAWSON In an office littered with thousands of notes inscribed on stacked paper flash cards, David Tod Roy has labored on what he calls his “life’s work” for three decades. Painstakingly poring over a 16th-century novel that in woodblock form ran more than 3,000 pages, the University of Chicago professor of Chinese literature has devoted his career to the translation and annotation of Chin P’Jin Mei, or The Plum in the Golden Vase. Written anonymously, the work focuses on a corrupt merchant and his harem of six wives and concubines. While the book is most often recognized for its erotic realism, The Plum in the Golden Vase is a landmark not only in the history of Chinese literature but world literature, Roy said. Its role in shaping the later (and arguably most famous of all Chinese novels) A Dream of Red Mansions was undeniable, he said. “It’s an extremely significant book,” he said. “Every time I’ve taught this book, I’ve become more convinced of its importance and impressed by its rhetorical sophistication. Some people have viewed it purely as an erotic novel, but at the time it circulated among members of the educated elite and the literary avant-garde, who all recognized it for being a work of literary genius.” He first became aware of the novel as the teenage son of Presbyterian missionaries in Nanjing and Shanghai, where he studied at the Shanghai American School with his brother,formerUSambassador to China J. Stapleton Roy. He later taught the work at Princeton University and the University of Chicago.

The Plum in the Golden Vase was groundbreaking for its focus on ordinary life in a middle-class family; earlier Chinese literature had focused only on emperors, powerful officialsorfiguresinmythology. The book’s incredibly detailed descriptions of daily life, dress, cuisine, legal malfeasance and yes, sexual activity — all make it a “rich sourcebook for any student of 16th-century society”, Roy said. As a language resource, the book is also remarkable for having documented the era’s vernacular, from the refined speech of the elite to street slang and swear words. But in keeping with a tradition that is entirely Chinese, the novel is more
than just the surface of the story, Roy said. In Chinese literature, poets and novelists have often veiled their criticisms by not only setting the work in the past, but also through the use of metaphor and allusion. In The Plum in the Golden Vase, the merchant at the center of the plot likely stands for the emperor at the time the author was writing, Roy said. The six women of his household represent the six bureaus at the head of the imperial bureaucracy. “The ancient Confucian belief was that if an emperor led a moral life, that would have a favorable effect on all of society,with the opposite being equally true: If the emperor was immoral, that would have a bad effect on the morals of the entire society, and you see that in smaller form with this family in the book,” Roy said. “The author clearly believed that Chinese society at the time was corrupt from top to bottom, but employed criticism by indirection, as many writers did.” Although the novel was previously translated by Clement Egerton in 1938 (under the title The Golden Lotus), it appeared partially in Latin (due to the sexual nature of the novel) and was more of a paraphrase of the book. With this translation, Roy has attempted to remain faithful to the original novel’s text. In the New York Review of Books, critic Jonathan Spence wrote: “Roy has made a major contribution to our overall understanding of the novel… He has annotated the text with a precision, thoroughness and passion for detail that makes even a veteran reader of monographs smile with a kind of quiet disbelief.”

United Is Set Up for a Challenge It has allowed 7 goals off dead-ball plays, a strength of Houston D.C. United One of D.C. United’s biggest weaknesses this season will be put to the test tonight. Mired in a five-game losing streak and sitting at the bottom of the MLS standings with a 1-6-1 record, United welcomes the Houston Dynamo to RFK Stadium for a mid-week clash. Set pieces have been a point of emphasis for United during its 10-day break, with the club hav-

ing conceded seven goals off deadball situations so far — an area of strength for Houston. “If you do that, you’re going to find yourself in last place,” United coach Ben Olsen said. Houston, which beat defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy in a title game rematch Sunday night, has become synonymous with setpiece success in recent seasons. Veteran winger Brad Davis’ top-class services consistently find the club’s top scorers and big cen-

DeLeon is slated for a place on today’s 18-man game roster after missing more than six weeks with a hamstring injury.

ter backs. “We’ve been working on [defending set plays] a lot,” United midfielder Perry Kitchen said. “It’s a man-to-
man situation. … It’s just a matter of sniffing the ball out, knowing where the danger is at, and it’s just something we have to be better at.” Despite t he recent r un of defeats, United is maintaining a positive outlook ahead of a brutal stretch that continues with games against FC Dallas, Sporting Kansas City and the Portland Timbers, who have a combined 14-5-9 record. “I think they believe in each other,” Olsen said of the team. “I certainly believe in them, but it’s about [Wednesday]. It’s another chance for us to show that we’re a better team than we’ve shown, a better team than our record shows. And I think we are.” AVI CREDITOR (FOR E XPRESS)

COMEDY CENTRAL
Lady Antebellum
Natalie Maines
Detour Ahead? Kyle Kinane is the voice of Comedy Central — he tells you what’s on the network during its promos — so you’d think he’d have no trouble landing his own show on the channel. Wrong. Even though the comedian’s stock is rising after last year’s excellent stand-up special “Whiskey Icarus,” the network rejected his pilot for the travel series “Kyle Kinane’s Going Nowhere.” Normally, that would be the end of it. But the production company uploaded the episode to Vimeo, and By Rudi it started racking up Greenberg views Monday. “Going Nowhere” is actually an antitravel show: Kinane visits places you’d probably never end up and people you’d never meet. In the pilot, he drives from Los Angeles to San Francisco and visits, in order: a sex-toy shop, a dominatrix, a bigfoot hunter and a couple who claim to be a wizard and a witch (they even cast a spell). It’s as hilarious as it sounds. I’m surprised the network passed. It’s not as if the show looks expensive to make: It’s just him, a camera crew and little actual travel. “Going Nowhere” even shares DNA with the network’s much-loved early 2000s series “Insomniac With Dave Attell.” Perhaps if Kinane’s pilot gets enough views online, Comedy Central will reconsider. He’s already on the payroll. Watch “Kyle Kinane’s Going Nowhere” online here: Tinyurl.com/kkpilot.
Pistol Annies
Ladies to the Front
Listen in on Nashville, and you’ll hear them leaning in. Across the vast, combative realms of pop
music, country is the genre where women are delivering today’s most compelling tunes. They’re the songwriters with the most courage and vim. They’re the singers with the widest emotional breadth. They’re the risk-takers. The provocateurs. The searchers. The storytellers. You can hear it in an avalanche of new albums, including ones from Lady Antebellum, Pistol Annies and Natalie Maines. CHRIS RICHARDS ( THE WASHINGTON P OST )
Gender Equality
Darkness With a Wink
A Return From Exile
Lady Antebellum, “Golden” Gender equality is practically built in to the co-ed country trio’s dynamic, but, previously, lead vocalists Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley have only used it to add a latent sizzle to their slow-burning love songs. That’s changing ever-so-slightly on “Golden,” the band’s fourth and finest album. The record’s most interesting moment comes during “Better Man,” a ballad where Kelley promises to be just that. Then Scott joins in for the final verse, and the narration switches from “I” to “we.” In a world where womanhood is too often defined by men, here’s a song about manhood where the woman subtly gets the last word.
Pistol Annies, “Annie Up” The group’s second album, “Annie Up,” somehow manages to trump the vitality of its first. And while the trio — Ashley Monroe, Angaleena Presley and Miranda Lambert — hasn’t completely ditched the winky-nudgey sense of humor that made 2011’s “Hell on Heels” such a blast, this is a darker portrait of 21st-century American womanhood. Across a dozen tracks, the singers waltz through a scorched landscape of rotten marriages, ugly divorces, punishing depressions and suffocating addictions — sometimes with enough good cheer to turn your abs sore with laughter while you mop up your puddly cheeks.
Natalie Maines, “Mother” Maybe the reason country music feels so electric with potential right now is because it felt so stiff in the previous decade. That’s when Natalie Maines of the multiplatinum Dixie Chicks wandered off into quasiexile. Now she’s back with her first solo album, “Mother,” which features clean renditions of mid-tempo songs by Pink Floyd, Jeff Buckley, Eddie Vedder and Patty Griffin. But it feels like a somewhat tentative step back into the spotlight, considering the emotive heft of the three cuts Maines had a hand in writing. “There’s only one road in and out of my heart,” she sings on the ballad “Take It On Faith.” “I don’t know where it ends or where it starts.”
Keep on Rolling: The Rolling Stones will wrap up — for now — the stateside portion of their “50 and Counting” tour June 24 at the Verizon Center (though the date is subject to change should the Capitals need the arena for a playoff game). Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday at Rollingstones.com. Prices for the tour have been steep, running as high as $600, but promoters are offering fans more than 1,000 tickets priced at $85 and sold in pairs. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Candice Glover
Angie Miller
Kree Harrison
The third time has been the charm for Candice Glover, 23. She made it past the first round of “American Idol” auditions in Season 9 and Season 11 but didn’t make it to the semifinals. This season, her slow, burning, powerful version of The Cure’s “Lovesong” was called the greatest performance ever on the show by judge Randy Jackson, who has been there since the beginning.
Angie Miller’s poise and confidence seem as effortless as her high notes. The 19-year-old from Beverly, Mass., suffered ruptured ear drums and impaired hearing as a child. The problem has worsened, and she will undergo skin-graft surgery post-“Idol.” But she’s facing that prospect with the same public composure she displays toward her “Idol” experience.
Kree Harrison, 22, has a piece of advice for aspiring contestants: “You have to know who you are because if you don’t, it’s even harder.” The native Texan has spent the past 13 years in Music City chasing the dream, and part of that long journey has been maintaining her vision as an artist — something “Idol” has let her do.

HOROSCOPE
PAR SCORE 200-210, BEST SCORE 280
Sudoku
MEDIUM
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may want to take a trip down memory lane, but as you do, someone new is likely to get your attention and ask for your time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can work wonders by simply asking another what he or she truly thinks about a situation you are both involved in. Listen up! CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may be lacking confidence at this time, and not without reason: The task you have ahead of you is daunting. You can do it! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You must be willing to think outside the box today and try doing things in ways they have not been done before. Originality is key.
Yesterday’s Solution
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may be overthinking a current problem — but this is not the first time. You may want to get help clearing the air. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You and a friend may be at odds about something that should never have come between you in the first place. You must be willing to compromise. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Progress is not likely to happen all at once. You will move forward in increments; you must be patient with yourself and others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your strategy is sound, but you may be trying to do too much with resources that are outdated and ineffective. It’s time to modernize!
Yesterday’s Solution

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Conflict is best avoided today; keep yourself from attracting the attention of those who would want to try to stand in your way.

Immune to Criticism Singer Pink posted a letter on her blog Saturday to fans who were upset about a show she canceled because of illness.
