Bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Influence From Afar Al-Qaeda leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diary shows his reach remained worldwide

Deep in hiding, his terror organization becoming battered and fragmented, Osama bin Laden kept pressing followers to find new ways to hit the U.S., officials say, citing his private journal and other documents recovered in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raid. Strike smaller cities, bin Laden suggested. Target trains as well as planes. Above all, kill as many Americans as possible in a single attack. Though he was out of the public eye and al-Qaeda seemed to be weakening, bin Laden never yielded control of his worldwide organization, U.S. officials on condition of anonymity said Wednesday. His personal, handwritten journal and his massive collection of computer files reveal his hand at work in every recent major al-Qaeda threat, including plots in Europe last year that had travelers and embassies on high alert, two officials said.

The information shatters the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conventional thinking about bin Laden, who had been regarded for years as mostly an inspirational figurehead whose years in hiding made him too marginalized to maintain operational control of the organization he founded.

Consider other areas such as Los Angeles or smaller cities. In one particularly macabre bit of mathematics, bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writings show him musing over just how many Americans he must kill to force the U.S. to withdraw from the Arab world. He tells his disciples that only a body count of thousands, something on the scale of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, would shift U.S. policy. He also schemed about ways to sow political dissent in Washington and play political figures against one another, officials said. KIMBERLY DOZIER (AP)

H[dW BWhW" C_ii$ Floodwaters from the bloated Mississippi River and its tributaries spilled across farm fields, cut off churches, washed over roads and forced people from their homes Wednesday in the Mississippi Delta, a poverty-stricken region only a generation or two removed from sharecropping days. People used boats to navigate flooded streets as the crest rolled slowly downstream, bringing misery to poor, low-lying communities. Hundreds have left their homes in the Delta in the past several days as the water rose toward some of the highest levels on record. The flood crest is expected to push all the way through the Delta by late next week. Officials in the Delta town of Rena Lara, which has no local newspaper or TV stations, tried to reassure residents that they are doing what they can to shore up the

Vt. Health Care Scientists Find For All Nears Lung Stem Cells Cedjf[b_[h" Lj$

D[m Oeha

Accustomed to being the first to dip its toe into hot-button issues, Vermont is preparing to provide public health care to all residents regardless of income, moving toward a government-run system. Gov. Peter Shumlin is expected to sign legislation this month marking the first step on the path to phasing out most private insurance. The effort puts Vermont well in front of last year’s federal health care overhaul. The ultimate goal, Shumlin said recently, is a Canadian-style system “where health care is a right and not a privilege.” (AP)

Scientists believe they’ve discovered stem cells in the lung that can make a wide variety of the organ’s tissues, a finding that might open new doors for treating emphysema and other diseases. When these human cells were injected into mice, they showed their versatility by rebuilding airways, air sacs and blood vessels within two weeks. One expert called that “amazing.” While stem cells have been found in bone marrow and some other parts of the body, it hasn’t been clear whether such a versatile cell existed in the lung. (AP)

Rebels Proclaim Major Gains in Misrata Jh_feb_" B_XoW Pressing to break a two-month siege, rebels in the port city of Misrata said Wednesday they had captured the local airport and pushed Moammar Gadhafi’s troops farther from the western outskirts of the opposition-held city in Libya. The reported advances were the latest in a recent flurry of accounts of rebel victories, coinciding with intensified NATO airstrikes on the Libyan leader’s forces. In capturing the airport, rebels said they seized weapons and ammunition in what one fighter called “a major victory.” The fighter, who gave his name as Abdel Salam, said five rebels

Control of Misrata’s airport is strategically important for the city’s embattled rebel fighters, since it presumably could be used to fly in humanitarian aid. Mohamed, a member of Misrata’s local council who asked that his full name not be used, said rebels also captured about 40 miles of territory west of the city, and about 23 miles toward the east. And he said Misrata’s port, a crucial supply point that had been under siege from Gadhafi’s troops, was safe. Though some of the recent

stalemate on several fronts. In Tripoli, a government spokesman denied the rebels’ claims of success in Misrata.

In Geneva, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday called for “an immediate, verifiable ceasefire” in Libya, and said Moammar Gadhafi’s government had agreed to another visit by a special envoy. Ban said he spoke with Libya’s prime minister, Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, by phone late Tuesday to urge a ceasefire and demand unimpeded access for U.N. humanitarian workers in Libya. (AP)

“This is nonsense,” said Moussa Ibrahim. “We control the airport and we also control the sea port.” Also Wednesday, Gadhafi brielfy appeared on Libyan state television after weeks of absence that led to rumors he had been injured. He did not speak during the appearance. (AP/ THE WASHINGTON POST )

The Syrian army shelled residential areas and unleashed gunmen Wednesday, and a rights group said at least 18 people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy. Syrian activists and protesters renewed their cries for the world to join them in calling for President Bashar Assad to give up power.

European countries summoned Syrian ambassadors Wednesday to threaten new sanctions if the regime fails to halt the bloodshed. On Wednesday, the army shelled

Iraq May Prolong U.S. Presence PM: Troop extension might be pursued if leadership backs one 8W]^ZWZ Iraq’s prime minister said Wednesday he might ask thousands of U.S. troops to remain in the country next year provided that a solid majority of the main political parties back the request. Nouri al-Maliki’s comments indicated a shift from his stance that there would be no U.S. troops past this year. But his insistence on having a consensus before making the decision indicates al-Maliki’s

worry that he’ll be blamed for such a politically risky decision. The prime minister said he will meet with Iraqi leaders by the end of May to gauge support for having U.S. troops stay beyond the Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline. “I will bring the leaders of the political blocs together. If they say yes, I will agree and if they say no, I will reject it,” al-Maliki said.

The Dec. 31 deadline to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq was set under a 2008 security agreement between Washington and Baghdad. A new deal would have to be reached for troops to remain in 2012, officials said. The White House and Pentagon have signaled they are open to that. But it took months to hammer out the original pact, and time is running out to negotiate a new one. (AP)

He said at least 70 percent of leaders representing the major Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish political parties must support the move

before he will ask the White House for the troops to remain. Sunni and Kurdish leaders generally want U.S. troops to remain to help the nation become more stable and to continue training security forces. But hard-line Shiites who helped al-Maliki secure a second term last year have threatened to revolt if U.S. soldiers remain. Iraqi demonstrators have recently demanded American forces leave on time. The Obama administration has said it wants to know within weeks whether Baghdad will seek to continue more than eight years of a heavy U.S. military presence in Iraq. SINAN SAL AHEDDIN (AP)

It ranked 17th among 100 major cities’ bus and rail systems in a report from the Brookings Institution. The 64-page report judged the

The Brookings study looked at the bus and train systems in major cities and compared them based on how frequently their trains and buses ran, how accessible public transportation was to residents and how close it was to where companies are creating jobs.

In the D.C. area, it looked at 16 different agencies that provide train, bus or other public transit services, including MARC, Metro, VRE, the Fairfax Connector, and Ride On bus services in Montgomery County. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

GOP: No Agenda for D.C. Budget Day before hearing, House panel insists no ulterior motives MWi^_d]jed On the eve of a House committee hearing on the District’s budget, two top Republicans on the panel said Wednesday that they had no ulterior motives and were not angling to restore congressional control of the city’s finances. Thursday morning’s hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on health care, District of Columbia, census and the National Archives

will “examine the fiscal sustainability of D.C. spending,” according to a news release issued by the committee. D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray is scheduled to testify, as are D.C. Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown, both Democrats, and Chief Financial Officer Natwar Gandhi. The release caught the eye of local officials and activists because it referenced the now-defunct Financial Control Board and noted that “[There] are seven separate ‘triggers’ which would automatically revive” the congressionally established body. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the full Oversight commit-

Issa

Gowdy

tee, said in a brief interview that the hearing should not be taken as a sign that he or his colleagues believed the District’s finances were in crisis. “We don’t yet see anything other than the ordinary concern for a city that does have some fiscal challenges that they have to meet,” Issa said. “We have concern but we don’t have

any expectation of the control board needing to come back.” Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who chairs the D.C. subcommittee, said the hearing had no “agenda, nefarious or otherwise.” “There’s no ‘lay in wait for a gotcha’ moment,” Gowdy said. “It truly is: Tell us about the fiscal state of the District.” The D.C. Council is wading through Gray’s proposed $10.8 billion budget for fiscal 2012, making the District’s finances a natural subject for a hearing, and Issa said he saw the District as similar to other cities and small states going through “a difficult budget time.”

Wall Street Warning Shot The government scores a major victory in its crackdown on insider trading MWi^_d]jed Hedge fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam was convicted on all 14 counts of fraud and conspiracy Wednesday in the biggest insider trading case in a generation. The verdict was a historic victory for the Justice Department, which used tactics once reserved for investigations of mobsters, drug dealers and the like to expose financial professionals and corporate insiders trafficking in such business confidences as details about pending mergers. The prosecution secretly made recordings of Rajaratnam talking to his alleged tipsters, taking the jury to a dark side of Wall Street that was long the realm of suspicion rather than proof. The government also drew upon testimony of co-conspirators whom the government had turned against Rajaratnam. Rajaratnam, 53, head of Galleon Management, was accused of using fraud to reap profits or avoid losses of more than $60 million. The case ushered in a new era in whitecollar criminal prosecutions, said Anthony Michael Sabino, a professor at St. John’s University. “For more than 30 years, the government has had a spotty history in insider trading cases, reflecting the difficulty of gathering evidence, explaining the machinations of high finance to a jury, and reconciling sometimes conflicting legal theories,” Sabino said. “Not so here, because Raj hung himself with his own words, as caught on tape,” he said. One of Rajaratnam’s alleged tipsters had been a member of the board of Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs and a former head of the international management consulting giant McKinsey & Co. He allegedly tipped Rajaratnam off

M^WjÊi D[nj5 Prosecutors said Raj Rajaratnam faces a maximum term of more than 19 years in prison. But defense attorney John Dowd vowed to appeal to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Of the 37 trades that the U.S. sought to prosecute, he added, only 14 made it to trial. “The score is 23-14, in favor of the defense,” he said. (AP)

to the fact that Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett was going to make a crucial investment in Goldman Sachs at the height of the financial crisis. The parade of witnesses at the trial in federal court in New York included the Chairman of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein. Rajaratnam did not testify in his own defense, but his lawyer argued that he traded on legitimate investment analysis and information in the public domain. Insider trading should be offensive to everyone who relies on the stock market because it “cheats the ordinary investor, victimizes the companies whose information is stolen, and is an affront not only to the fairness of the market, but the rule of law,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.

Amid a broader crackdown on such crimes, Rajaratnam was the 35th person — and the most prominent — convicted of insider trading in the Southern District of New York in the past year and a half. The stakes were high for both sides. Given the extraordinary evidence the government had amassed against Rajaratnam, had the verdict gone the other way, “it would have made insider trading cases against Wall Street traders almost impossible,” said J. Robert Brown, professor of law at the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law. Brown predicted the verdict will force insider traders to exchange information “in a more devious manner,” but he doubted it would hamper insider trading. “The money in this area is too big,” he said.

Ej^[h DejWXb[ 9Wi[i Martha Stewart, flanked by U.S. marshals, leaves after sentencing at Manhattan federal court in New York on July 16, 2004. Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and five months of home confinement for lying about a stock sale. On June 4, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged former Countrywide Financial Chief Executive Angelo Mozilo for raking in $140 million from the sale of his company stock. While selling stocks to make a profit isn’t unusual, the SEC said that Mozilo’s sale was based on non-public information. The SEC also charged Mozilo with fraud. In October 2010, Mozilo and the SEC settled the charges.

In November 2008, the SEC slapped Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban with a charge for insider trading. The SEC said Cuban sold shares of Internet company Mamma.com based on private information about “an impending stock offering.” The complaint said he tried to avoid about $750,000 in losses. A U.S. district judge threw out the case in July 2009, but an appeals court revived it in September 2010.

Financier Ivan Boesky was convicted of illegal insider trading in 1987. He served almost two years in prison and paid more than $100 million in fines. In 1990, junk bond tycoon Michael Milken was sentenced to 10 years in prison for securities fraud and other business crimes, including rigging corporate takeovers and manipulating financial markets.

Facing a deepening corruption scandal, FIFA demanded evidence Wednesday to back up English claims that six executive committee members were involved in bribery during bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Following Tuesday’s allegations made during a British par-

liamentary inquiry, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke wrote to England’s Football Association asking for a complete report plus “all documentary evidence” from David Triesman, the former leader of England’s 2018 bid.

Maryland Athletic Director Kevin Anderson formally introduces new basketball coach Mark Turgeon on Wednesday afternoon.

Tradition Lured Turgeon New hoops coach says Terps’ glorious past was a big draw

?di_Z[ j^[ @eX >kdj

J[hfi C[dÊi >eefi Before he accepted the offer to become Mar yland basketball coach, Mark Turgeon needed to get the lowdown on the job from Gary Williams. Williams held the post for 22 years before retiring, and Turgeon was poised to become his successor. Working at a school with a great basketball tradition was very appealing to Turgeon, who had spurned several other opportunities to move during his four years at Texas A&M. After speaking at length with Williams on Sunday night, Turgeon knew it was time to leave College Station for College Park — even if it meant replacing an iconic coach.

7bb j^[ H_]^j MehZi0

Mark Turgeon learned last Thursday that he might be a candidate for the Maryland job, but that didn’t stop him from leaving on a camping trip Friday. Turgeon couldn’t get cell reception until Sunday, and that’s when Anderson called to set up a meeting in a Pittsburgh hotel. With Anderson in jeans and a scruffy Turgeon wearing a Kansas City Chiefs shirt over his Texas A&M shirt, the two talked about the future of the basketball program. “When he left the meeting, I knew it was my job to take or leave,” Turgeon said. (AP)

“If I was apprehensive, I wouldn’t be standing here,” Turgeon said at his introduction Wednesday. “I had a great conversation with Gary, and he made me feel comfortable. I know Gary’s not going to try to sabotage Maryland basketball.”

The comment drew a roar of laughter in a room filled with Maryland alumni, former players and booster club members who remember former Maryland athletic director Debbie Yow saying last month that Williams “tried to sabotage” her search for a new basketball coach at North Carolina State. Turgeon, 46, compiled a 97-40 record at Texas A&M and took the team to the NCAA tournament in each of his four seasons at the school. But an offer to became part of a group that includes such names as Lefty Driesell, Len Elmore, Tom McMillen, John Lucas, Walt Williams, and, of course, Gary Williams, was too good to be true. “The reason I’m here is because of its great tradition and all the things this basketball program accomplished over the years,” Turgeon said. “It was going to take a great job for me to move. ... Maryland is a special place.” (AP)

emblazoned with “The Truth Is Out There,” but Marc Kaufman does believe that alien life (probably) is. The Washington Post science writer’s new book, “First Contact” ($26, Simon and Schuster), is a layman-friendly look at astrobiology — the search for alien microbes, inhabitable planets and the origins of life here on Earth. Why do scientiﬁc breakthroughs involving alien life tend to be misunderstood and overblown by the media?

The idea that there could be life beyond Earth is hardwired into human beings. It speaks to something in our imaginations and it’s something that I think people want

to be true. But astrobiology is trying to come at it from this really hard-nosed science perspective, and the subject is so sensational that when the two intersect, there’s almost always a huge clash. Since there’s water on Mars, could we start a colony there?

There is a school of thought that says we should definitely do that. I believe Stephen Hawking is an advocate of going to Mars and changing things — they call it terraforming — to make it more hospitable. What would that be like?

They haven’t really taken it that far. There’s a guy named Paul Davies who’s an advocate of the “one-way

to Mars space trip” — he says the really expensive and complicated part of going to Mars is coming back. He’s proposed that the first missions there be one-way — you’d go there and set up little colonies. That isn’t really terraforming, but you’d maybe go live in a crack in a cave and hopefully later some other people would come. Wouldn’t that just turn into “Lord of the Flies”?

J[cfjWj_ed WdZ Jh[WY^[ho IjW][ The wonks of Washington seem to believe that their every workrelated activity is fascinating and dramatic, so it’s unfortunate when plays about political machinations encourage them. But “Farragut North,” playing at Olney Theatre through May 29, manages to tease out the drama of the twisted, insider-y world of campaign politics — without ever forgetting, “Politico”-style, that a man

who gains the world and loses his soul profits little. The players are Democrats, but this is no easy answer-filled festival of liberal politics like “The West Wing.” Instead, “Farragut North” is a modern “Julius Caesar” — indeed, the play’s upcoming film version, which stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, has been renamed “The Ides of March,” after the date of Caesar’s assassination. The characters, political strategists and staffers working on an emerging campaign during the Iowa caucuses do not shrink from savaging each other. The lead character is a press secretary for the campaign of a Howard Dean-like figure, going up against an estab-

politics, the way people try to frame narratives and spin things,” he says. “Making decisions based more on self-interest than on the common good can lead to a very corrosive political environment, and that’s what the play is pointing to.” For an audience likely to be chock-full of wonks, there’s one last essential question: Is it accurate? “We had a couple of people here who had actually worked on an Iowa campaign before, during the caucuses,” Hopper says. “All of them, without exception, said, ‘This is exactly what it’s like.

It looks good on him, like his trademark Comme des Garcons haute-couture soiled suits, and has given him the cred necessary to become a gonzo journalist of sorts, a chronicler of extreme personalities. His sixth book, “Role Models,” out this month in paperback, is a collection of reported profiles of Waters’ own inf luences, from Little Richard to imprisoned former

Well, 30, really. ★ Never wear leather pants unless you’re a Nazi. Or Jim Morrison. ★ Never wear tube tops, ever.

But a few choice spots remain, if you’re feeling brave (or stupid) — the Bloody Bucket, for instance, on Union Avenue in Hampden. And if you’re in the market for caulk with your Colt 45, has Waters got the place for you. “I went to another one recently, on Eastern Avenue,” Waters offers. “It’s in a woman’s house — half hardware store, half bar, so you can order a drink and buy nails. I don’t know that it has a name. You could see her bed in the back.”

For the 1981 premiere of “Polyester,” Waters distributed Odorama cards, redolent with the scents of pizza, glue, gasoline and other unsavory smells featured in the film. What would go on an Odorama card for Baltimore? “It would have the smell of a large industrial jug of mayonnaise at a flea market in August,” says Waters. “The smell of leftover poppers after a wild night at a dance club. The smell of 35mm film stuck in a drive-in projector.” Waters filmed scenes from his 2000 film “Cecil B. Demented” at Bengies Drive-In, a Baltimore landmark. Go for the cinema history, Waters says, but stay for the plumbing. “In the ladies’ room, they have female urinals from the ’50s,” he says. “I never knew there was such a thing. But I promise you — you can go look.”

“Manson girl” (and good friend) Leslie Van Houten. “Once you’re writing a book, you have a reason to call up and just butt into someone’s personal life. You get to be nosy, and no one seems to mind,” Waters says of his interviewing approach — which was sometimes met with suspicion by subjects wary of the man who unleashed “Pink Flamingos” and its human-chicken sex scene onto the world in 1972. “And if they do, at least you have an excuse,” he says. “‘Oh well, that’s my job.’ Rather than, ‘I am a lunatic.’” In addition to his writing endeavors, Waters is focusing on his ongoing oneman live show, “This Filthy World,” as well as a few television and film projects — including “Fruitcake,” a children’s Christmas movie about meat thieves. “We have them in Baltimore. They knock on your door and say, ‘Meat man!’ And you go downstairs and say, ‘I’ll take a pork butt and a ham and a pound of ground beef.’ And they shoplift it and bring it back to you and you pay halfprice. It’s quite common here.” Waters kicks off a multicity U.S. tour for “Role Models” Saturday with a reading at Atomic Books. Ahead of that appearance, he shared some hometown memories, nightlife tips and sage advice for young weirdoes trying to make it in the world.

Madrigal, who reads Thursday at Poli-

though many of them failed, I still think that the impulse was about as pure an impulse as it gets. Compared to other nations, the U.S. has historically been very ungreen. Why is that?

Some readers seem surprised that green technology is not a new concept. Why do you think that is?

We had access to a lot of oil as we were bringing our country together. We had an attitude born of the 19th century that our continent was one of instant plenty.

Maybe it’s the five years of her childhood she spent on a Portuguese mountain. Sure, the Swedish singer’s sound is a little bit “Dancing Queen,” but it’s also a little bit “Material Girl,” with a rock-star edge that’s endeared her quickly to American audiences since her well-received 2008 debut, “Youth Novels.” But Li’s not eager to pick up the American pop mantle, either. “I was misquoted once that Madonna was a huge influence for me, but it’s not

of Bella’s character — but also recognized a more worldly reality in the opportunity. “People aren’t listening to radio anymore,” Li says. “If you want people to listen to your music, you have to put it in on T.V. and in movies.” Her plan is working. In one week last month, songs from “Wounded Rhymes” were featured on both “Gossip Girl” and “Mob Wives.” And “I Follow Rivers,” the album’s first single, was part of a recent “Glee” episode devoted to underrated artists. So, should we expect Lykke Li to be soundtracking the next season of “Grey’s Anatomy”? Or is she planning something more outside the lines for her next record? “I write what I feel, and I love pretending to be someone else,” she says. “I just make my own way through my songs.” ADAM GRIFFITHS (E XPRESS)

Saturday’s show at the Black Cat ends a 10-city solo tour, making it a sort of homecoming. Even after 20 years, Leo says he still gets a charge out of discovering new places to play. In L.A., he strummed poolside at a posh hotel. In Scranton, Pa., a fan turned him on to an old Croatian church he had to see at his next stop, Pittsburgh, Pa. The church provided a little divine inspiration. “This artist did all these incredible murals in the ’30s — crazy, political murals that had to do with labor and exploitation.” Could the murals be a basis for new song? “Certainly,” he says. “It was amazing.” It seems there are enough good things about the musical life that Leo can’t quit it after all. “I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing if I wasn’t having an amazing time,” he says. “The business concerns are still secondary.” JASON CHERKIS MATIAS CORRAL

After two decades of being the closest thing the U.S. has ever had to a homegrown Joe Strummer, Ted Leo is tired. The left-leaning singer-songwriter is easily one of the hardest-working musicians in indie rock — and that’s turned out not to be an easy gig. At one point last summer, Leo even told one music blog it was all over for the Pharmacists, the band he cut five albums of power-pop jangle, spikey dub and fistpumping pub rock with over the past decade. “It’s a losing proposition for us at this point,” he confessed, and the rumors started to spread. The business end of making music has created some very real barriers for Leo, 40. “It’s a massive concern,” he explains. “I have a ton of credit card debt, and I owe the IRS a lot of money. I can’t really get on top of that. I have to put every cent I do earn into daily survival. That’s just the way it goes.” Leo has a way of finding the lightness in heavy topics, and his latest album, 2010’s “Brutalist Bricks,” shone with an exuberance that D.C. audiences remember well from his days fronting beloved D.C. modsters Chisel back in the ’90s.

One of her biggest hits was the 1988 anti-suicide song “Close My Eyes Forever,” a duet with former Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne. (E XPRESS)

they lost their virginity.” Ford herself has never been shy about sex, whether in her music (the 1988 make-out anthem “Kiss Me Deadly,” for example) or during interviews for her 2009 comeback LP, the randy “Wicked Wonderland,” where she and her then-husband, Jim Gillette, spoke of their robust marital life. But with her marriage now over — a topic she

declines to discuss — Ford is ready to make a return to recording on her own terms. “‘Wicked Wonderland’ was really a collaboration between me and my ex-husband,” she says. “I want this next record to be a full-blown Lita album.

Lita Ford gives up the island life and gets back to shredding

Lita Ford is responsible for some of the sweetest guitar licks in heavy metal.

After spending a decade living with her family on the isolated Caribbean island of Turks and Caicos, the 52-year-old mother of two is also happy to be making another comeback: to civilization. “The islands are a good getaway for summer or a couple of weeks, but it does get boring,” says Ford, who’s now based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “Especially for women, because women like to be pampered: the hair salon, their cell phones, they want to drive their own cars, get their nails done, go shopping. You can’t do any of that on the island.

Chris Hemsworth as Thor (the blonde one) with Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

Thor If you have a fondness for loud, silly, eye-popping action-adventure films, then “Thor” delivers. The humor is humorous and just self-referential enough to let you know the film doesn’t take itself too seriously.

( Fast Five This “Fast” film likely won’t win over new converts to the 10-year-old franchise. But the reason this series has survived for a decade is because it respects its target audience, caters to their adrenalized needs and rarely tries to be something it isn’t.

) Jumping the Broom Although the title “Jumping the Broom” refers to a wedding ritual, it might unintentionally conjure up images of the wicked witch after spending a couple of hours with the momzillas of the bride and groom at the heart of Salim Akil’s dramedy.

In ‘Lebanon, PA.,’ a parent’s death gives new meaning to a grown-up child’s life IYh[[d No matter how adult we feel, there’s a part of us that stays a little kid until a parent dies. That sort of loss can be the start of a new journey, as the drama “Lebanon, PA.,” shows. In the film, main character Will (Josh Hopkins) travels to the titular city after losing his father. While cleaning out his dad’s house, he becomes enmeshed with married woman Vicki (Samantha Mathis) and C.J., a pregnant teen next door (Rachel Kitson). Express talked to writer/director Ben Hickernell, right, about the emotional scope and small-town setting of the film. Why did you decide to start the ﬁlm with a parent’s death?

That moment is a seminal moment. It makes you take stock of where you are. You’re no longer in relation to your parent. You have to really make your own place in the world, what used to define you is totally gone. In our 20s and 30s, we’re

FILM REVIEWS BY THE WASHINGTON POST. FO R M O R E C A P S U L E S A N D R E V IE W S O F

I do think CJ kind of steals the story in a way — it is Will’s story, he’s the hero, but as the movie really starts to gain steam, it becomes CJ’s story as much as his, and by the end a lot of the dramatic thrust is from her. This is a movie about people from different backgrounds being forced together and forced to come to an understanding with one another.

Actually, in the script I wanted to show you get 15 minutes in Philly and one hour in Lebanon, but it turned out you get five hours.

I’m Telling You, These Kids Today

+ Rio With its bright palette and incandescent splashes of light, “Rio” recalls last year’s “Tangled” as a chance simply to luxuriate in rich visual pleasures. “Rio” sends viewers aloft on an exuberant flight of fancy.

An early shot in the ﬁlm shows you can get ﬁve hours of parking for a quarter in Lebanon. Is that true?

Vanessa lives in Germany and studies at a “stunt school.” Catch her next weekend in “Wow! Vanessa, the Big Jump.”

Shockingly, your kids might respond to a movie that’s not animated. Or about princesses, or cars or toys that come alive. If you’re trying to mold your child into the best kind of film snob, the Kids World Cinema series is the place to go. It runs over the next two weekends in locations around D.C., and features films from all over the globe suitable for children ages 6 to 13. It took 10 international organizations combining cinematic forces to prove that kids everywhere think that people falling down is funny. Films range from three minutes long to an hour-and-a-half, and each screening features films from two or more countries along with a cultural workshop. This weekend opens with “Hugo and the Dragon,” which features freaky-looking puppets. Next weekend is all about Brazil, Australia, Spain and Germany, the latter of which is represented by the documentary “Wow! Vanessa, the Big Jump,” about a girl studying at a “stunt school,” which apparently they have in Germany. We’re pretty sure this film will give your kids some interesting ideas involving the roof of your house and gravity. And be sure to take a moment to check out the website, as younger kids might be bored at films with subtitles and older kids might think puppets are lame. Free screenings run at various locations from May 13-22; see Francedc.org for showtimes and more information.

Heart of Darkness

What happens in Kandahar doesn’t stay in Kandahar: Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, an outspoken critic of U.S. intelligence operations leading up to 9/11, has penned a memoir about covert projects he participated in during tours in Afghanistan. The book, “Operation Dark Heart,” deals with heavy topics, and is not at all about Shaffer’s work convincing a wicked queen not to kill Snow White. International Spy Museum, 800 F St. NW; Thu., 6:30 p.m., $15; 202-3937798, Spymuseum.org. (Gallery Place)

The ‘Juno’ Lady

Kimya Dawson got some sudden attention after she did the “Juno” soundtrack back in 2008, but we’ve loved her since she was half of weirdo troubadour act Moldy Peaches. We hope she’ll play our favorite solo Kimya song, “The Beer,” a haunting but funny trip through a very bad day driven by peach schnapps and MD 20/20.

Smart Cinema

The Smithsonian and the Sundance Institute are teaming up to show 10 indie films (including last year’s Oscarnominated “Winter’s Bone,” pictured) at museums all around town Thursday night. You can only make one; our pick is “Afghan Star,” which follows a group of Afghani singers trying to make it big on the small screen. Various locations and times, see Sundance.org/filmforward for more infomation, $10; 202-633-3030.

Blue-Eyed Soul

Adele’s big-voiced, sad-eyed music has made a huge splash on U.S. shores, particularly her breakout hit, “Chasing Pavements.” She has less attitude and more heart than the rest of the current crop of British female warblers. We’re hoping she’ll give Amy Winehouse a talking-to and they can star in a 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; buddy comedy together. Thu., 7 p.m., sold out; 202-265-0930, 930.com. (U St.-Cardozo)

Rock Me, Amadeus

When it made its stage premiere in 1980, “Amadeus” blew apart the costume-drama genre with its edgy story of an obnoxious but incredibly talented musical prodigy and the jealousy he inspired in his colleagues. Sure, they were all wearing brocade — but the play was anything but staid. “Amadeus” holds up today, as you and your knee breeches can see at Round House’s revival of the Round House Theatre, 4545 East-West Highway, Bethesda; through June 5; show. 240-644-1100, Roundhousetheatre.org.

If you don’t know Morris’ work, this is a good place to start. If you do, it’ll confirm everything you already know about how good he is. K.P.K.

97DÊJ#C?II CEL?;I Sometimes indie films are terrible. And sometimes you watch them and are pretty sure you’re seeing the beginning of an amazing career. That’s the case for Ç8[bb\bem[h"È opening Aug. 26 in D.C. First-timer Evan Godell, left, wrote, directed, starred in and edited this romantic, gory, taut film that traces one man’s journey from cuddly teddy bear to post-apocalyptic warlord. There’s a cricketeating contest, the best first date ever and a “Mad Max-” inspired car named Medusa, too. K.P.K.

We were skeptical when we heard about a musical version of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” But apparently “THE HOLLOW” is not just about a creepy guy with a pumpkin for a head terrorizing the populace, it’s about a small town blaming an outsider with outlandish ideas for their troubles! Broadway star Hunter Foster, above, wrote the book, with local composer Matt Conner on the score. But here’s our lyrics: “They called him Pumpkin Head/That’s how they got so dead/And then away he Signature sped/While we were all abed!” F.Z.

Founder Emily Neifeld, above, is a fourth generation kitchen designer and an amateur chef with a self-described “adventurous palate.” On St. Patrick’s Day, she unveiled her below-the-radar supper club with a traditional Irish meal — corned beef and cabbage, soda bread and an Irish Car Bomb sundae (homemade Guinness chocolate ice cream drizzled with Baileys Irish Cream liqueur) — at her Arlington home. “I want to create social food memories,” says Neifeld. “Our motto is, ‘We’re young, we’re hungry and we’re social.” To add a level of collaboration between the kitchen and the dining room, potential patrons suggest menus and themes in advance via Nosh’s Facebook page and through Twitter.

Since mid-April Eric Ripert’s high-end eatery has been offering diners a more casual option with a weekly barbecue on its sidewalk. “Each restaurant has a personality, which is a blessing and curse when it comes to what you can and cannot do,” explains Palma. “This lets us shake things up a bit.” The cash-only, grab-and-go operation serves three sandwiches — a pulled pork with a mustard sauce, a pulled chicken with a vinegary sauce and a Texan beef brisket brined in Coke and rubbed in black garlic ($6 each) — as well as sides such as coleslaw ($2) and biscuits ($1). For Palma, the experience is an excuse to enjoy himself. “I’m hanging out and cooking in the sunshine,” he says. “That’s a nice place to be in life.”

Prosciutto-sprinkled salad, bottom, and brussel sprouts, top, may be on the next Nosh menu.

Think of Hush as a gastro speakeasy. Up to 22 guests meet at an undisclosed townhouse in the U Street corridor (the location is revealed when your reservation is confirmed) for a vegetarian dinner party hosted by a part-time Indian chef who goes by simply Geeta. The evening starts with a rotating cast of cocktails infused with ingredients from the subcontinent, such as Geeta’s Kiss, which combines sparkling Prosecco with Rooh Afza (a sweetly floral Indian syrup). Guests’ appetites are partially assuaged with an appetizer or two before Geeta gives a 45-minute talk on the food being served and her Gujarati Jain heritage that inspired it. “I’m best at being a cultural anthropologist and ambassador,” she says. “I can guide you through my world in a way that is relevant to you.” After the lecture and a Q&A session, the rest of the meal is served. The most recent dinner included dishes such as rice, dal (a thick, stew-like lentil dish), a vegetable, some raita (mild yogurt dip) and papadum (thin, crispy flatbreads). Dessert might be a cup of chai (spiced tea) and a dish of falooda, a classic Indian dessert made with rosewater (rose-flavored syrup), milk, ice cream and thin vermicelli noodles.

Jacqueline’s airhead daughter Ashley has an internship with P.R. queen Lizzie “drove her car into a crowd of people” Grubman but complains because the commute sucks. Theresa’s brother calls her “garbage” at his son’s christening because he deems her a snob. All together now: BORING! 8o CWhY For a higher grade I_bl[h of housewife melodrama, try VH1’s “Mob Wives,” above. Karen Gravano, child of Sammy “the Bull” Gravano, who ratted out other gangsters, leaves her job as den mother to strippers, and leaves HER DAUGHTER in Arizona, to return to Staten Island, N.Y. She aims to reconnect with old chums and write a book about her roots. Gangster daughter Renee Graziano says to Karen, “You have a lot of balls coming back.” Drita D’avanza of Albania, wed to Karen’s ex-boyfriend, is full of wrath: “The rats that put my husband in jail, I just want to break their @#$% legs.” And you gotta love Carla Facciolo. Her hubbie’s in jail for stock fraud. She tells her two sons he’s away at work. Comments? Give Marc your feedback: expressnightout.com/muse

R E P SU STAN

At 88, the man behind Thor and Spider-Man continues to expand his unrivaled legacy F[hiedWb_j_[i

Stan Lee professes no deep and analytical insight into the human soul. “I’m not a psychiatrist,” he says. “All I know is, the good superhero movie has got action, suspense, colorful characters, new angles — that’s what people like.” The rangy 88-year-old is a natural at delivering the dramatic angle. Asked to strike a towering pose, he springs to his feet and in a blink is

balancing atop a chair. Seventy years to the month after the nom-de-toon “Stan Lee” first appeared in a comic book, “Thor” is similarly perched atop the box office. In one sense, the origin story of Stanley Martin Lieber resembles that of the Norse superhero he cocreated, only told backward. Thor is to the godhead born until, because of his impudence, he’s sentenced to a mortal existence. Lee was a mere Manhattan comics-industry mortal for decades until, because of diligence and vision, he was elevated to Marvel Comics demigod, creating — alongside fellow legends Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko

— the likes of Spider-Man and Iron Man, the Hulk, X-Men and the Fantastic Four. All those characters have already appeared in feature films, and the latest wave of Hollywood superheroes is gathering force as it rolls in this summer. “Thor’s” domestic opening last Friday will be followed by “X-Men: First Class,” DC’s “Green Lantern” and Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger.” The superhero film is still as unstoppable and resilient and enduring as, well, Lee himself. “My theory about why people like superheroes is that when we were kids, we all loved to read fairy tales,”

Spider-Man suffers a teen’s social travails. Iron Man battles his demon addiction. Lee says he was guided by intimate questions: “What did they do when they weren’t fighting supervillains? What were their hopes, dreams, aspirations, as well as their frustrations?” He believes passionately that many people like their superheroes to have depth, to have vulnerability, to have flaws — to be vexed beneath the spandex. “For a long time, there was no personal involvement with some of the superheroes,” Lee says. “I’d read books and Dickens always had interesting characters. Mark Twain had interesting characters. “I wanted to write the kind of dia logue t hat wou ld give t he c h a r ac t er p er son a l it y.” MICHAEL CAVNA ( THE WASHINGTON POST )

So far, it does not offer music downloads and is available by invitation only, free of charge while it is being tested. (AP)

Gang Gang Dance

7bXkc H[l_[m Gang Gang Dance is the band that science fiction promised us. Omnivorous ears that seek out the group’s fearless new album “Eye Contact” will swear that it came from the future. Or prehistory. Or some great, galactic beyond. Or New York. That’s where the band formed in the early aughties, rubbing elbows with kindred avantrock troupes Animal Collective and TV on the Radio. But as those bands

Gang Gang Dance’s Lizzi Bougatsos performs at the Coachella festival in April.

entered the mainstream, Gang Gang Dance’s brainy swirl of dub, Bollywood and reggaeton remained largely subterranean. That probably won’t change here.

Easily the band’s most accessible album, it’s still a demanding listen that pushes toward some uncharted tropical space age. You can sense the band’s spir-

it immediately with “Glass Jar,” an album-opening track that sounds as natural and mystifying as birth. Drummer Jesse Lee settles into a free-jazz simmer while keyboardist Brian DeGraw lets his synthesizers gleam and sparkle. After six minutes of anticipation, the beat spills over into a blissed-out, aural avalanche. Singer Lizzi Bougatsos dives in: “I surrender!” And to the sounds, so do we.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may find yourself playing a guessing game of sorts throughout the day. Be ready for a surprise, when all is said and done. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The same old thing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to satisfy you in ways that it has in the past. Today, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to make certain impromptu changes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) As soon as you determine that something is easy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to become far more complicated. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t underestimate anything. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may be reminded of why certain things have worked for you in the past, and others have not. Make the right choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take care that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inadvertently sabotage your own efforts. Focus on the outcome, and choose the most direct route.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to be a little more daring than usual in order to score any kind of memorable victory. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) On your way to a prime destination, you may want to take a brief side trip in order to indulge a personal whim. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) How directly you express yourself will have an immediate effect on almost all interpersonal dynamics. Be straightforward.

On Wednesday, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley stopped by her studio to rename a street outside Harpo Studios where Winfrey tapes her show “Oprah Winfrey Way.” Winfrey said having a street named after her was “better than an Oscar or an Emmy.” (AP)

Bristol Palin admits her recent change in appearance was due to a procedure — but not plastic surgery. Palin underwent corrective jaw surgery in December so her jaw and teeth could properly realign. Her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw. “Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons,” she said. (AP) Second Glance: Spot the differences between an altered Bristol Palin, right, and the original model, left.
