Stocks Drop on Europe Worries Financial insecurity leads traders to avoid risky investments

IfW_d KdZ[h IjhW_d

Fearing a financial rupture in Europe, investors around the world fled from risk Wednesday.

They punished stocks and the euro, and the yield on a benchmark U.S. bond hit its lowest point since World War II. In the U.S., where concerns about Europe have already wiped out most of this year’s gains for stocks, major averages fell more than 1 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 161 points.

With Spain’s banking system teetering and Greece’s political future unclear ahead of crucial elections next month, European stocks lost even more. The euro dropped below $1.24, to its lowest point since the summer of 2010.

Trader David O’Day works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday.

Fear about Europe’s financial stability caused traders to retreat from investments.

“Everyone’s just afraid that if Europe doesn’t get its act together, there will be a big spillover in the U.S.,” said Peter Tchir, manager of the hedge fund TF Market Advisors.

He said the uncertainty over

Europe’s future was reminiscent of the financial crisis in the fall of 2008, when it was briefly unclear whether banks would be bailed out.

The Dow closed down 160.83 points, or 1.3 percent, at 12,419.86.

The trigger for Wednesday’s sell-off was Spain, where the banking system is under strain a week after its fourth-largest bank required $23.8 billion in government aid to cover souring real estate loans. Investors are increasingly worried that problems at the bank, Bankia, might recur at other Spanish banks. Many lent heavily during the nation’s real estate bubble. Losses from the real estate crash might be too big for Spain’s government to shoulder. (AP)

4 Fatally Shot in Seattle The Dow has had a miserable May, losing more than 6 percent, and is on track for its first losing month since September.

Only 170,300 businesses out of 4 million potentially eligible claimed President Obama’s health care law credit in 2010, about 4 percent. A recent government report by Congress’ nonpartisan Government Accountability Office found the tax credit not rewarding enough to be financially attractive. (AP)

Fla. Attack Victim Faces Surgery C_Wc_ A homeless man whose face was mostly chewed off in a bizarre, vicious attack faces a bigger threat from infection than from the injuries themselves, according to experts on facial reconstruction.

He will require months of treatment to rebuild his features and be permanently disfigured.

Though gruesome, such severe facial injuries are generally not lifethreatening. The most serious risk to Ronald Poppo as he remained hospitalized Wednesday were germs that may have been introduced by the bites of the naked man who attacked him. One of the 65-year-

old’s eyes was also gouged out.

“The human mouth is basically filthy,” said Dr. Seth Thaller, the chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine.

It’s not clear why Poppo was attacked Saturday afternoon by 31-year-old Rudy Eugene alongside a busy highway. Police have

released few details about the attack, but surveillance video from a nearby building shows Eugene pulling Poppo from the shade, stripping and pummeling him before appearing to hunch over and then lie on top of him.

A witness described Eugene ripping at Poppo’s face with his mouth and growling at a Miami police officer who ordered him to get off the homeless man. The officer shot and killed Eugene.

Eugene’s younger brother said that he was a sweet person who didn’t drink much or use hard drugs: “I wish they didn’t kill him so he could tell us exactly what happened.” JENNIFER K AY (AP)

Private Sector to Aid Pentagon in Cyber Intel MWi^_d]jed The Pentagon is turning to the private sector, universities and even computer-game companies as part of an ambitious effort to develop technologies to improve its cyberwarfare capabilities, launch effective attacks and withstand the likely retaliation.

The previously unreported effort, which its authors have dubbed Plan X, marks a new phase in the nation’s fledgling military operations in cyberspace, which have focused more on protecting the Defense Department ’s ow n computer systems than on disrupting or destroying those of enemies.

Plan X is a project of the Defense

''&C The cost of the Pentagon’s fiveyear cyberwarfare research program, Plan X. The program will begin seeking proposals this summer. Among the goals will be the creation of an advanced map that details the entirety of cyberspace — a global domain that includes tens of billions of computers and other devices — and updates itself continuously.

Another goal is the creation of a new, robust operating system capable of both launching attacks and surviving counterattacks. (T WP)

Advanced Research Projects Agency, a Pentagon agency that focuses on experimental efforts and has a key role in harnessing computing power to help the military.

“If they achieve it, they’re talking about being able to dominate the digital battlefield just like they do the traditional battlefield,” said Herbert S. Lin, a cyber expert with the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences.

Cyberwarfare conjures images of smoking servers, downed electrical systems and exploding industrial plants, but military officials say that cyberweapons are unlikely to be used on their own. Instead, they would support conventional attacks, by blinding an enemy to an

impending airstrike, for example, or disabling a foe’s communications system during battle.

The architects of Plan X also hope to develop systems that could give commanders the ability to carry out speed-of-light attacks and counterattacks using preplanned scenarios that do not involve human operators manually typing in code — a process considered much too slow.

It makes sense “to take this on right now,” said Richard M. George, a former National Security Agency cyber defense official. “Other countries are preparing. ... If we’re not pushing the envelope in cyber, somebody else will.” ELLEN NAKASHIMA (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Those cute mail-order chicks that wind up in children’s Easter baskets and backyard farms have been linked to more than 300 cases of salmonella in the U.S. — mostly in youngsters — since 2004.

An estimated 50 million live poultry are sold through the mail each year in the United States in a business that has been booming because of the growing popularity of backyard chicken farming as a hobby among people who like the idea of raising their own food.

But health officials are warning of a bacterial threat on the birds’ feet, feathers, beaks and eggs.

“Most people can tell you that chicken meat may have salmonella

>WjY^[h_[i WdZ >[Wbj^ Salmonella outbreaks have been linked to hatcheries for more than 50 years. And health officials have long warned that people can get salmonella from touching chickens — especially children, who tend to put their fingers in their mouths. Indeed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says children under 5 shouldn’t be allowed to touch chickens at all. About 20 hatcheries mail live chicks overnight in the U.S., supplying not only feed stores and farms but amateurs with backyard coops. The mail-order houses have been seeing record sales in recent years. (AP)

on it,” said Casey Barton Behravesh of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “But surprisingly, we found many people are not aware that live chicks and chickens can spread salmonella.”

Officials also advise people not to bring birds into their homes and to wash their hands thoroughly after handling live poultry.

Since 2004, at least 316 people in 43 states got sick in an out-

break tied primarily to one mailorder hatchery. No one died, but three dozen people were hospitalized. The illnesses were detailed Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach pain but is rarely fatal. It is most dangerous to very young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. MIKE STOBBE (AP)

Grisly Details Emerge in Syria U.N.: 13 found slain, bound in aftermath of Houla massacre 8[_hkj U.N. observers have discovered 13 bound corpses in eastern Syria, many of them apparently shot execution-style, the monitoring mission said Wednesday.

The announcement comes days after a massacre in Houla, in the central Homs province, which killed more than 100 people and prompted worldwide condemnation against the regime of President Bashar Assad. The Syrian government denied its troops were behind the killings and blamed “armed terrorists.”

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ The Obama administration added new sanctions on a Syrian bank Wednesday as a top White House official said the U.S. wants to economically throttle the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad and cut off salaries of pro-government thugs blamed for the grisly massacre in Houla over the weekend.

The Treasury Department said the Syria International Islamic Bank has been acting as a front for other Syrian financial institutions seeking to circumvent sanctions. The new penalties will prohibit the SIIB from engaging in financial transactions in the U.S. and will freeze any assets under U.S. jurisdiction. (AP)

U.N. investigators and witnesses blame at least some of the Houla killings on shadowy gunmen known as shabiha who operate on behalf of Assad’s government and are deployed specifically to intimidate Assad’s opponents.

One of the few survivors of the attack, 11-year-old Ali el-Sayed, spoke Wednesday about how he

fooled the killers into thinking he was dead.

“I put my brother’s blood all over me and acted like I was dead,” Ali said Wednesday. Gunmen killed his parents and his four siblings, he said.

In the wake of the massacre, the U.S. and more than nine other countries expelled Syrian diplo-

For War Crimes, Taylor Gets 50-Year Sentence B[_ZiY^[dZWc" D[j^[hbWdZi Former Liberian president Charles Taylor was sentenced to 50 years’ imprisonment Wednesday for arming murderous rebels in Sierra Leone in return for “blood diamonds,” a landmark sentence activists hope will send a message to despots that they will be accountable for sponsoring atrocities.

Judge Richard Lussick said Taylor’s position as head of state at the time of his crimes put him in a “class of his own” when it came to the sentencing — one of the longest handed down by a tribunal.

Survivors gathered in the Sierra Leone capital, Freetown, to watch a live feed of the sentencing.

“That makes me the happi-

mats in protest.

Turkey, a former close ally of Syria, joined the coordinated protest Wednesday. Syria’s state-run media on Wednesday denounced the diplomatic expulsions as “unprecedented hysteria.”

The violence in Syria is spiraling out of control as an uprising that began in March 2011 has morphed into an armed insurgency.

Bloodshed continued in Syria unabated. Syrian forces bombarded rebel-held areas in the same province where the Houla killings occurred, although no casualties were immediately reported, activists said.

The U.N.’s top human rights body is planning to hold a special session Friday to address the Houla massacre. (AP)

Linked by a common currency but not a common economy, the crisisbattered eurozone nations are facing a pivotal choice: Forge more closely together or risk the currency union. But are Europeans willing to take that leap toward closer integration?

The fiercely independent Irish are about to offer a window into the answer in a Thursday referendum on a regionwide fiscal treaty inked in January that would impose strict limits on budget deficits and debt.

Romney Powers Up Nomination secure, the campaign focus shifts to efforts to take Obama down

What’s next for Mitt Romney? The Republican presidential nomination finally in hand, he will spend the next three months trying to undercut President Obama on the economy while portraying himself as Mr. Fix It for a nation with stubbornly and painfully high unemployment.

Romney also faces key decisions between now and his acceptance of the party’s nomination in late August in Florida: Where should he compete most aggressively? Who should be his running mate?

At the same time, he must dive anew into fundraising and work to win over voters who are distracted by their own summer plans and day-to-day pocketbook worries — while withstanding Obama’s attacks on his own claims as a jobs creator.

Not that Romney is publicly sweating the hurdles that come with being the little-known challenger to a personally popular president.

“People will get to know me better,” Romney told Fox News in an interview that aired Wednesday, the day after he sealed the GOP nomination with his primary election victory in Texas. He says the general election campaign is only beginning even though his chief challenger dropped out more than six weeks ago.

With a smile, he said of the voters, “My guess is they’re going to get to know more about me than they’d like to by the time we’re finished.”

As if on cue, Obama’s campaign opened a fresh critique of the GOP nominee-in-waiting, assailing his economic record as governor of Massachusetts.

It’s the second phase of an effort by Obama to define Romney negatively in voters’ eyes. The Democrat already has

spent weeks hammering the Republican on his record at the private equity company he founded.

Romney spent Wednesday in California, plunging into a week filled with fundraisers and efforts to unite Republicans. Already he’s proved adept at both, hauling in enough cash to cut into the advantage that Obama has while getting most of his former Republican rivals to close ranks around him.

Those efforts — and the turning of his primary campaign into a general election operation — have been his prime focus. He’s making only a handful of public appearances for now, but aides say they expect the campaign to ramp up to a full sprint by July 4. Romney has said he plans to take a week off around the holiday, suggesting that may be the time when he makes final deliberations on whom to choose as his vice presidential nominee.

Romney’s aides are spending this week publicly pressing a criticism that the candidate himself has been making for months against Obama.

They’re highlighting the hundreds of millions of dollars in economic stimulus money that the administration provided to Solyndra, the solar-energy company that went bankrupt and whose executives had contributed to Obama’s campaign.

It is a sign of the overarching argument Romney will make against Obama in the coming weeks: that Obama’s economic efforts have been politically motivated, have wasted taxpayer dollars and, ultimately, have failed.

The Solyndra criticism is also an attempt to answer Obama’s criticism of Romney’s history at Bain Capital.

The president has argued that Romney’s time as a private equity executive was aimed at enriching shareholders, not serving the public. Romney largely survived the opening salvo, judging by early polls and interviews.

In the coming weeks, Romney plans to focus heavily on fundraising. To that end, he is spending the week courting donors in California.

I^ekbZ M[ ;b[Yj C[jhe 8eWhZ5 Despite the ever increasing frustrations with Metro riders concerning deteriorating service, increasing fares and safety incidents, Metro’s governance seems to display little urgency in resolving the issues.

While RAC, TOC, NTSB and various other agencies and task forces have published findings of severe issues, none of them lack the enforcement ability to effect the changes they recommend.

Should Metro’s board be elected, which could turn politicized, but would be more responsive to riders? It certainly would be easier to change ineffective elected

board members versus protesting a gubernatorial or even local council appointee. Shouldn’t board members be required to use the system on a regular basis to understand the needs of the riders?

There’s been a lot of turnover on the Metro board in the past two years, but not much turnover in the approaches to issues that riders care about. All the board members are appointed by board, commissions, governors or the federal government. If the board members were elected by the voters in the juridsictions served by Metro, then most of those voting would be

people who don’t use Metro regularly. They’d be taxpayers who subsidize those who ride. So it’s difficult to tell who’d wind up on the board. It might be that the people actually voting in such elections would be those who care the most about Metro, which of course would be the riders.

The new tile on the platforms at Shady Grove and Rockville is nice, but the work seems stalled at Twinbrook and other stations down the Red Line.

Any idea why they started the work but then stopped?

I know that some of this work is done in stages. The crews will do the platform edge and the founda-

tion, then do the tiles, using the new type of tiles that come in big sections and are meant to last longer than the crumbly ones. There seem to be breaks between the stages.

Some of the work requires singletracking, to keep trains and riders away from one side of the platform or the other.

The Navy Yard station got “Ballpark” added next to it. Stadium-Armory has always had it. Why not change Gallery Place to read “Gallery PlaceArena?”

All the name changes you’re seeing were recommendations to Metro from the individual jurisdictions.

So it would be up to the District to recommend a name change for Gallery Place. To me, “Arena” is a bit indistinct. You’d probably have

to know some other way that they were talking about Verizon Center.

And I think the name-changers in this past round were careful to avoid names, like “Nationals Park,” that could be changed if naming rights got involved.

With Metro’s fare increase going into effect somewhat soon, is there any fare chart or tool available to see what any specific fare will be after the increase? I’ve seen generalities of average percentage increases and changes in maximum and minimum fares, but nothing helpful for each individual rider.

I have not seen a fare chart, like the ones we see at the station kiosks and vending machines. But if you go to WMATA.com and use the Trip Planner, put in a date after July 1.

Rock Creek to Curb Deer Numbers

J^[ Bejj[h_[i M[Zd[iZWo" CWo )& :_ijh_Yj

MWi^_d]jed The National Park Service has approved a plan to protect vegetation in Rock Creek Park by reducing the deer population, the agency announced Wednesday.

The plan, approved May 1, will use lethal and nonlethal methods, such as sharpshooters and birth control. Park officials said it is needed to protect and restore vegetation in the park because the deer population continues to grow.

In the 1960s, park officials recorded four sightings of whitetailed deer in the park, according to a news release. In 2011, officials said they recorded 80 deer per square mile.

Park officials said they will continue their existing program of monitoring the deer popula-

tion and protecting plants and landscaping with fencing. Sharpshooting will occur primarily at night during late fall and winter.

ed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland at Roland Garros. Coming a day after her younger sister, Serena, was stunned in the first round by 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano of France, the early exit marked the first time in 43 major tournaments with both in the field that neither Williams got to the third round.

“I felt like I played,” said Williams, who made 33 unforced errors, 27 more than Radwanska. “That pretty much sums it up.”

This was not exactly an out-ofnowhere upset. Williams is ranked 53rd now, has never been as good on clay as on other surfaces and is learning how to be a professional athlete with Sjogren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease that can cause fatigue and joint pain.

Still, the meek way Williams departed was striking, considering that she has been ranked No. 1, has appeared in

14 major finals to Radwanska’s zero and from 2008-10 won 10 of the 11 sets the two played against each other.

“I don’t know if I ever asked myself, ‘Why me?’ I mean, obviously it’s frustrating at times. I don’t know if there’s anything mental more I can do at this point, but there’s a lot of stages to go through with this kind of thing,” said Williams, who lost to Radwanska two months ago as well. “There’s a lot of people who have it a lot worse than I do. I’m still playing a professional sport, so I have to be very positive.”

It’s hard to know, however, how much energy she’ll have from one day to the next. Whenever the alarm goes off, Williams starts to find out what the next 24 hours will be like.

“Every morning is different. Some mornings, I don’t feel great, then it’s a better day than I thought it was going to be. I can’t automatically be discouraged. When I wake up, I just have to see how it goes. Sometimes I get a second wind,” she explained. “It’s just so hard to know.”

Williams revealed her diagnosis in late August at the U.S. Open, when she withdrew before her second-round match. She skipped the Australian Open in January, before returning to the tour in March in a bid to earn a berth on the U.S. Olympic team. Spots are awarded based on rankings — the top 56 get in automatically, with a maximum of four per country, so Williams should be OK. HOWARD FENDRICH (AP)

“We like to play like that,” said Parker, who hit 16 of 21 shots.

“That’s the way we play.”

So far, the Spurs have turned a hotly anticipated matchup between the league’s top two scoring teams into a lopsided mismatch more befitting of an early round.

San Antonio has yet to lose a game in the playoffs, but the experienced Spurs know better than to

“It’s great and it is a great run,” said Tim Duncan, who had 11 points and 12 rebounds. “But we are only worried about the next two wins in this series. That is all that matters, at this point.”

Oklahoma City is 5-0 at home in the playoffs, but only 14 teams have come back from 2-0 deficits to win a series in NBA playoff history.

“First, we’ve got to worry about Game 3,” Thunder guard Russell Westbrook said. “Regardless of what’s going on with this last game or the next game, we’ve got to worry about Game 3 and come in with the same mindset and try to get a win.” CHRIS DUNCAN (AP)

The Redskins rank among a handful of teams that have expressed interest in former prep football star Brian Banks, whose promising football career came to a halt as a result of false rape accusations that landed him in prison in 2002.

Banks had verbally accepted a full scholarship from USC at the age of 16, but he never played for the Trojans after pleading no contest to a false rape accusation from a childhood friend. That friend has since recanted that claim, and Banks was released from prison and exonerated last week.

According to ESPN, Banks has a workout scheduled with Seattle, and Kansas City and Miami also have inquired about him.

David Wax and Suz Slezak are David Wax Museum, an instantly likable little band making music that’s half Mexican “son music,” half Mountain Goats-esque indie folk. The “son music” part is based in a traditional Spanish sound that adds considerable sonic depth to the band’s deceptively simple songs, played on a stringed Mexican jarana and a quijada, a percussion instrument made from a donkey’s jawbone. The indie part is a brokenhearted, twee charm that could very well make the band the next Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

The guide on the Old Town Trolley tour is a live person, which makes you feel much more awkward about checking your iPhone during the slow parts. But this also means you get to see the guides perform some pretty amazing feats of trivia-nerddom, such as Tour Guide Duke rattling off every embassy as you fly down Embassy Row, or Teacher Fran (her self-bestowed title) reciting the states according to when they entered the union — starting at the end OR the beginning. You can jump on and off the tour as often as you want, and oneor two-day tickets are available. The seats aren’t as comfortable as the bus, but being dazzled by the skills of a driver who can pilot a very awkward, outdated mode of transport near Union Station during rush hour without having a stroke makes for an interesting ride.

The Wilson Bridge has gotten a LOT better since its expansion, but it’s still sometimes a traffic nightmare. So, take to the water!

California rock quartet Dawes stays rooted with a little help from their musical heroes Cki_Y Ever since California quartet Dawes released their debut album, “North Hills,” in 2009, it’s been hard for the group to shake comparisons to legendary rockers the Band, Jackson Browne and the Byrds.

Some bands might run from such comparisons, but Dawes has embraced them. And it’s paid off: In 2011, when the Band’s Robbie Robertson needed a group to back him for a series of television performances, Dawes got the call. And in December, the band teamed up with Browne for a miniconcert at Zuccotti Park as part of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Then there

was the time last September when Dawes took part in one of Levon Helm’s famed midnight rambles at his Woodstock, N.Y., studio.

“Griffin [Goldsmith] played drums right next to him during ‘The Weight,’” recalls Dawes singer and guitarist Taylor Goldsmith, brother of drummer Griffin. “It was an important night for us.”

Helm passed away in April, leaving behind a body of work that has made a mark on several generations of musicians. His influence — as well as that of Robertson and Browne — is inspiring to Goldsmith and his bandmates, all of whom are still in their 20s.

“It’s a testament to what it is to devote your life to work,” he says. “They’re all so accomplished, not only in careers, but musically. [With] Robbie, you can’t play a song without him being able to follow you, even if he’s never

rehearsed it.”

Goldsmith says he sees in his heroes a model for what Dawes could be. “We look at the fact that we’ve been a band for almost six years, with two albums. And then we look at these other bands, with

20 albums in 40 years, and it’s unbelievable,” he says. “We really admire that. It reminds us that we’re at the beginning of all that.”

Moving forward on that trajectory, Dawes is already working on a follow-up to the critically

Peter Carey explores timeless questions through old technology 8eeai Peter Carey isn’t sure, but he thinks his new novel, “The Chemistry of Tears,” might fall under the subgenre of “steampunk.”

“The notion, as I understand it, is old technology in the modern world,” Carey says. His book has plenty of “old technology” — namely, 19th-century automata, incredibly intricate robots whose clockwork innards allowed them to (stiffly) simulate natural movement.

The realistic appearance of these mechanical creatures gives them

an aura of “creepiness,” he says. “It looks like it’s [alive]; it’s not.”

One automaton in particular — a silver swan whose neck would bend swiftly — fascinated Carey. The creature, which is now on view at England’s Bowes Mu s e u m , w a s actually built in the late 1700s by London showman James Cox and was feted by Mark Twain in his 1869 travelogue “The Innocents Abroad.”

A heavily fictionalized version of that swan is the centerpiece of Carey’s book. “The Chemistry of Tears” ($26, Knopf) is about both the 19th-century Englishman who

funds the swan’s creation and the 21st-century curator who later reassembles it.

“I’m not a wildly mechanical person,” Carey admits. “I think I follow abstract logic quite well, but I’m not brilliant with machines or anything like that.” So, he worked with curators from the Bowes and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London to be sure he could properly describe the mechanical details of the old-fashioned robots. One horologist — that’s someone who studies timepieces — “thought I was nuts,” laughs Carey.

“For a high-level clockmaker, he was very down to earth and told me, ‘People think this is wonderful work, but it’s just a job for me.’ He just couldn’t understand why I wanted to have anything to do with this.”

acclaimed 2011 album “Nothing Is Wrong.” Goldsmith recently brought three new songs to the rest of the band, who fleshed them out as they practiced.

“I think with the sound of our band, whatever sounds best is whatever comes naturally,” Goldsmith says. “The less arranged, the better.” RUDI GREENBERG (E XPRESS) 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; with Sara Watkins; Fri., 8 p.m., $25; 202-2650930, 930.com. (U Street)

That collaboration, however, raised the stakes for the novel.

“I wanted it to be correct for [the people who still work with these mechanics],” Carey says. “I think the most important thing when you write about someone else’s world is that you take the trouble to respect that world.”

Through that process, the novelist discovered the real themes of “The Chemistry of Tears,” whose title suggests a coalescence of science and humanity. “It’s about life and death, what humans are and to what degree humans are machines. And if we are machines, is that really less wonderful and less mysterious?” S T EP HEN M. DEUSNER (FOR E XPRESS)

WHO PERFORMS SATURDAY WITH EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC GROUP BLK W/BEAR

A tree’s rings don’t merely reveal the age of the plant — they can also recount a country’s history. In “American Canopy: Trees, Forests and the Making of a Nation,” author Eric Rutkow parallels the development of America with shifting attitudes toward majestic oaks, maples and sequoias.

Do we look at trees differently today compared with earlier times?

The book covers 400 years, and our attitudes have shifted 180 degrees in that time.

The original European settlers viewed trees as an obstacle — something to be cleared.

It’s not until 200 years later that you start to see a serious effort at conservation.

Where did your interest in trees begin?

It stemmed from an interest in hiking when I was a teenager. I spent a lot of time backpacking in the Catskills, the Adirondacks and the Delaware Water Gap. I became very interested in the historical stories about why these trees were there.

How much research did you do outdoors as opposed to indoors?

Most of the research required me to be in libraries, but whenever I wanted to sharpen my thinking, I would go on a tree walk. A few years in, I had to stop because I came down with a case of Lyme disease. I was able to catch it early enough that it wasn’t a big problem, but it’s only been recently that I’ve gotten back into backpacking again.

INTANGIBLE ARTS

AUTHOR, ‘AMERICAN CANOPY’

J.S. Adams performs experimental music with BLK w/ BEAR, one of the acts featured at Saturday’s Queering Sound event.

J^[ F[hiedWb ?i ;nf[h_c[djWb LGBT artists examine politics and identity with music in Queering Sound Cki_Y D.C.’s first Queering Sound event was back in 2001, but this now-annual staging of experimental audio art has its roots in a 1999 performance titled “Deconstructing the Bea(s)t.”

“We were jokingly calling it the ‘antiPride,’” says J.S. Adams, a member of local music group BLK w/BEAR and curator for the Queering Sound series.

Adams’ group wanted to put a new twist

on D.C.’s annual Gay Pride festival that year, so they used turntables and visual effects to deconstruct two muchloved audio tropes of gay culture: Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and Donna Summer’s “Last Dance.”

“It was an alternative to what people perceived [gay music] to be — dance music, or folk music,” Adams says.

“There’s a long history of LGBT folks working in independent art.”

Adams is one of those folks. The 57-year-old artist has been producing experimental visual and audio art since the 1970s, most regularly as BLK w/BEAR (which is now a full band). Adams’ soundscaping live-remix group performs this

guitarist Michelle Webb of the recently reformed prog-jazz group Lovecrywant.

There will also be digital contributions by visual artists Mary Coble, Nowhereians, Teho Teardo and Nick Lopata.

“The original idea of ‘Queering’ was the dictionary version of what queering was: to make different, to put in disadvantageous situation, to spoil or ruin the effect of success. The subliminal, the subverse,” Adams says.

A prime example of that is Coble’s contribution, “Fighting Cocks,” which reworks audio of a three-hour-long towel fight staged in Toronto into a performance piece exploring masculinity, play and violence.

“Mary’s work is very much involved in queer politics, sexual politics and body politics,” Adams says. “Her piece is taking things out of time and the construct of space. The idea of ‘queering’ can work in that way, too — not necessarily as a gender issue but in terms of place and time.”

“What I like to do as a curator and presenter,” he says, “is take things out of context.” CHRISTOPHER PORTER (FOR E XPRESS) Atlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H St. NE; Sat., 7:30 p.m., $12-$15; 202-3997933, Atlasarts.org.

Joan Miro’s 1973 “Burnt Canvas IV” was one in a series of fire-scorched works that the artist called “anti-paintings.”

FW_dj_d]i 7i Fhej[ij A new National Gallery show puts political works

by Joan Miro in context ;n^_X_ji At one point in his prolific career, painter and sculptor Joan Miro had a soft spot for long titles: Take 1939’s “Woman Stabbed by the Sun Reciting Rocket Poems in the Geometrical Shapes of the Musical Bat Spittle Flight of the Sea,” or 1940’s “Figures at Night Guided by the Phosphorescent Tracks of Snails.”

Despite their whimsical names, both works are among the surrealist artist’s most politically charged pieces. As the National Gallery of Art’s new show, “Joan

Miro: The Ladder of Escape,” reveals, Miro — more commonly recognized for his abstract shapes, squiggly lines and colorful canvases — created his share of protest art.

The show, organized by London’s Tate Modern museum, offers a chronological look at Miro’s ideological oeuvre. “He might not have been an activist — but, at times, he was,” says Harry Cooper, the NGA’s curator and head of the department of modern and contemporary art. “I like that this show has an argument, rather than saying, ‘Here is all the best work [by Miro].’ I don’t think that visitors need to accept or even reject it; it’s just something to think about, and it provides a narrative.”

Born in Barcelona in 1893, Miro wit-

nessed both world wars in Europe, the Spanish Civil War and the repressive dictatorships of Miguel Primo de Rivera and Francisco Franco. He identified strongly with his Catalan heritage and the northeastern region’s long struggle for autonomy, but also became invested in seeing his country escape totalitarianism.

The show’s subtitle, “The Ladder of Escape,” is a recurring image in Miro’s work, and it may symbolize “the whole problem for Miro of how to be engaged with world events and still preserve his own imaginative freedom,” Cooper says. “He can climb up the ladder to get away from the world ... and go off into his incredible imagination — and he can climb down the ladder to get back in touch with what’s happening.”

Miro’s work brought him widespread acclaim. Yet, he resisted praise when it came from leadership he opposed. The Franco regime held a show of Miro’s works in 1968, intending to “present him as a great example of freedom of expression,” Cooper says. “He didn’t want to play along with that.”

Instead, Miro participated in an alternative show in 1969 called “Miro Otro” (Other Miro). Organized by a group of young architects, “Miro Otro” linked the artist with the younger generation’s political and cultural resistance to Franco. Many of his pieces from that turbulent period also reflect a rebellion against authority, including his “Burnt Canvases” (into which the artist literally burned holes) and his “Fireworks” series (made by throwing paint on canvas). “I think you see him really wanting to tap into this political current and unrest,” Cooper says.

Still, “He wasn’t always interested in making protest art,” Cooper says. “He wanted his art to be universal, to deal with themes that weren’t specific to one time and place.” K ATIE ABERBACH (E XPRESS)

The album seemed to appear out of thin air that February, and many critics wondered if Radiohead would even attempt to play the glitchy, beat-driven songs live.

The band recruited Portishead drummer Clive Deamer to provide an extra rhythmic pulse to the most challenging songs on the album, and his addition led the band to dust off some old songs, debut some rare B-sides and even test out new, yet-to-be-recorded tracks. To get you prepared for Sunday’s sold-out show at Verizon Center, here are some songs the band could play that you might not recognize.

RUDI GREENBERG (E XPRESS)

“Meeting in the Aisle” This instrumental B-side from the “OK Computer” era had never been played live prior to the opening date of this year’s tour. With a triphop vibe and a hypnotic guitar riff, the song is a natural vehicle for Deamer’s percussion.

“Identikit” One of the newest tracks in Radiohead’s catalog, “Identikit” feels like three songs in one. Charging drums pound under Thom Yorke’s airy vocals before distorted guitars kick in, recalling the best moments from 2004’s “Hail to the Thief.” Then, out of nowhere, bright synths morph the track into a dance party.

“Staircase” With a pulsing rhythm and magnetic guitars that seem to chase each other in circles, this is one new song during which you won’t want to leave your seat.

Verizon Center, 601 F St. NW; with Caribou; Sun., 7:30 p.m., sold out; 202-6283200, Verizoncenter.com. (Gallery Place)

Good & Fruity “SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN” hits theaters Friday, and we’re pretty sure that, even in this retold fairy tale, an apple is going to show up at some point. Which gives us an excellent reason to look back on other fruit-flavored films. K.P.K.

' “American Pie” An apple galette serves as Jason Biggs’ fill-in girlfriend in the 1999 comedy that reignited the teenageboys-try-to-lose-their-virginity genre.

The pie didn’t count.

( “Fried Green Tomatoes” This 1991 girl-power (well, older-girlpower) film introduced Yankee audiences to a Southern pan-fried delicacy that is almost in season. (Hurry up, tomato plants. Seriously, we have the cornmeal ready.)

) “James and the Giant Peach” In this 1996 animated film based on Roald Dahl’s novel, a boy flees his horrible aunts with the help of bugs that live and travel in a huge peach.

Peaches? Yum. Bugs? Less so.

Authenticity is crucial for the kid dancers and the writer/star of ‘Battlefield America’ IYh[[d There’s an old theatrical saw about never working with children or animals, because they’ll always show you up. Marques Houston, writer and star of the youth-oriented dance film “Battlefield America,” out Friday, didn’t have to deal with animals. But prepubescent boogiers were everywhere.

“At one point we had 20 kids at once [in a scene].

You get a bunch of kids together and you can’t get them to focus all Houston at once. One kid is cool, but all of them together — it can get a little chaotic,” Houston says. “I was as influential with my attitude as I could be, but sometimes I’d just say, ‘Whoever can stay quiet the longest gets $20.’”

Despite these “kids will be kids” moments, Houston credits the dozens of dancers — who ranged from 8 to 12 years old, and from professional actors to untrained amateurs — for their professionalism and commitment. “These kids went

The young dancers in director Chris Stokes’ new film, “Battlefield America,” range from professional actors to amateurs.

through four weeks of training just for the choreography,” Houston says. “These kids went through boot camp. These dances were not a joke. And you feel that authenticity coming from these kids. They were really giving it their all.”

That dedication was necessary, Houston says, with Chris Stokes (2004’s “You Got Served”) in the director’s chair. “He doesn’t want to use a stunt double or a dance double,” Houston says. “His thing

is authenticity. He wanted it to be as realistic as it could get.”

This realism isn’t limited to the dance scenes, Houston says. His character is your typical careerobsessed, driven guy who just happens to finds himself mentoring a ragtag community dance troupe as part of a plea deal after a DUI. Though variations on this story are common in films, Houston sees a real resonance in the film’s innercity setting.

“There are so many kids out there who grow up without a mother, without a father. And they don’t really have anything positive to latch onto, to go out there and push for. For these kids, this community center is a home away from home,” just as similar centers are for many real-life youths.

In the film, Houston teaches the kids that they must work hard to compete successfully in life — a lesson that made its way into the onscreen dance battles.

“When we did the battles, they really wanted to be the best,” he says. “They were really competing.”

Wes Anderson’s new “Moonrise Kingdom” features Edward Norton in shorts.

Wes Anderson (“Rushmore,” “The Royal Tenenbaums”) is among the few modern filmmakers who have an immediately recognizable style. His is also an incredibly divisive style, with awesome people recognizing that it’s amazing and losers arguing that it’s twee and heavy-handed. Good news, awesome people: Anderson’s latest (and possibly best) movie, “Moonrise Kingdom,” hits local screens Friday and expands to more theaters throughout June. In it, two adolescents run away in the name of love — it’s vaguely similar to “Romeo and Juliet,” except Shakespeare never thought to put Edward Norton in a Boy Scout-esque uniform. Newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward are spectacular as the preteen lovers, and the supporting cast (Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis and Tilda Swinton, with “Rushmore’s” Jason Schwartzman in a memorable minor role) makes “Moonrise” shine.

Lambert. Last May, the country siren married her longtime beau, Blake Shelton. Then, in August, Lambert’s all-girl group, Pistol Annies, released its debut album. She followed that up with a solo effort, “For the Record,” in November. And in February, she acted on an episode of “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.” Sunday, she’ll headline the annual WMZQ Fest at Jiffy Lube Live.

out the spring and early summer. It’s a point of pride for Tesky and Guas (whose Bayou Bakery hosts occasional boils, including one on Friday) that their crawfish are always air-freighted up from Louisiana alive (some restaurateurs use frozen seafood).

After the boiling, chefs can add personal twists. At Acadiana, Tesky coats cooked crawfish in a special seasoning blend before serving them — portioned out and priced by the pound — on large platters. Guas does the same, explaining that it’s inspired by this region’s practice of covering steamed crabs’ shells with Old Bay. “Once you eat the first couple of crawfish and sort of season your mouth, that heat stays with you and keeps you eating,” he says.

The post-boil flavorings are added a little differently at Chasin’ Tails, a Cajun seafood restaurant that opened in Arlington in March (2200 N. Westmoreland St.; 703-538-2565).

DAVID DANG

Traditional crawfish boils are a casual affair, a mess of people making a big mess.

“You lay out your newspaper [on the table], you’re boiling, you’re drinking beer, you’re telling stories, the kids are running around, and all of a sudden when those boils are ready, you dump them out and everyone gathers at the table,” says David Guas, the chef-owner of Bayou Bakery (1515 N. Courthouse Road, Arlington; 703-243-2410).

Guas was raised in New Orleans, where eating the tiny crustaceans was a “communal thing — we got together and had crawfish,” he says. “It’s just like eating crabs in this part of the country.”

Forget forks and knives — this is food you eat with your hands. Experienced crawfish diners can break open the hard shells of the tiny “mudbugs” and consume their tender pink and white meat at a surprisingly fast clip. (Guas estimates he can put away three or four pounds in a half-hour.) It’s a sloppy meal, but it’s as much about the environment and company you’re with as it is about the food.

Restaurants wanting to offer customers that sort of authentic experience face a distinctive dilemma: How do you preserve the elements of such a carefree, anything-goes atmosphere in a more formal setting?

For starters, by sticking to the same method of preparation that’s used across the Gulf Coast: boiling. Chefs add fragrant spices, herbs, garlic and lemon to the water to kick up the flavor of the seafood. As with lobster, crawfish often get immersed in bubbling water while they’re still kicking.

“It’s a big scene in the kitchen because there’s hundreds of live crawfish trying to escape,” says Brant Tesky, the executive chef of Acadiana (901 New York Ave. NW; 202-408-8848), which hosts weekly boils on its patio through-

Boiled potatoes and corn on the cob are often served alongside crawfish, as they are at Acadiana, top. At Chasin’ Tails, bottom, crawfish are flavored with special sauces after boiling.

ÇEdY[ oek [Wj j^[ Óhij Yekfb[ e\ YhWmÓi^ WdZ iehj e\ i[Wied oekh cekj^" j^Wj ^[Wj ijWoi m_j^ oek WdZ a[[fi oek [Wj_d]$È — DAV ID GUA S, CHEF-OWNER OF BAYOU BAKERY

Chasin’ Tails tosses its crawfish with special sauces (diners can choose from four options, including two spicy ones) just before serving them inside large, clear plastic bags. The bags “let that stuff permeate into the crawfish; you can shake it up, let it get inside the shell,” says manager Mike Jones.

Once the crawfish arrive at the table, there’s a whole other ritual: eating. The process of splitting open each crawfish, pulling out its tail meat and sucking on its head (see sidebars for more detail) might seem timeconsuming and cumbersome. But that’s all part of the fun, Tesky says: “It gives you time to talk and chat.” Think of it as another tradition that transcends geography. K ATIE ABERBACH (E XPRESS)

Want to sound like you know what you’re talking about?

QahWm$\_i^S B[Whd j^[ B_d]e Call the freshwater crustaceans “crawfish” — not “crayfish,” one of their alternate names.

“Crayfish” just doesn’t sound right, says David Guas, chef-owner of Arlington’s Bayou Bakery and a longtime crawfish eater.

“It’s like scratching nails on a chalkboard.” “Mudbugs” and “crawdads,” however, get his OK. Another phrase you could try (if you can say it with a straight face): “Suck the head.” “True connoisseurs” will suck the head of each crawfish, says Brant Tesky, the executive chef of Acadiana; the head is where all the seasonings gather and therefore where most of the flavor lies.

In ‘Wich’ We Lose

A mural of firefighters decorates a brick wall at Sixth Engine, an American restaurant located inside a former fire station.

8[bbi M^_ijb[i In a former firehouse, Sixth Engine has the makings of a hot spot

The fire-pole hole at 438 Massachusetts Ave. NW is plated over with nickel.

Hoping to salute their building’s past without resorting to cliches, however, the five guys behind Sixth Engine kept the exposed brick walls, soaring windows and rafters of the historic fire station that preceded their new restaurant in Mount Vernon Square.

Co-owner Jeremy Carman even managed to sneak in a personal effect: the dog running alongside a ruddy firefighter in the Norman Rockwell-esque painting on the loftlike second floor.

Turns out the canine is the likeness of the restaurateur’s labhound mix, Trudy.

Sixth Engine’s menu, from chef and co-owner Paul Madrid, takes a pleasant detour from standardissue neighborhood American restaurant cooking. While diners will find a cheese plate and a cheeseburger, those staples are joined by lamb shank ravioli dappled with minty gremolata butter and grilled shrimp poised on orzo and a pool of Parmesan sauce.

As for starters, a hedge of bright green broccoli festooned with grated cheddar, minced red onion and bacon is straight out of a Midwestern potluck party, but also easy to dispatch.

Four of the owners share a stake in Town Hall, a watering hole in

<_hij 8_j[

Glover Park with the slogan “gulp, gather, grub.” But the 100-or-soseat Sixth Engine was designed to be “more restaurant-forward,” explains Carman. Indeed, some of the fancier plates in the new venue, which starts with a front patio and handsome blue bar, best the more familiar. (A hoagie stuffed with pork shoulder showed up desert-dry.)

The entree I’m most eager to try again partners red snapper with snappy andouille risotto and crisp, sweet corn. The fish gets some nice heat from a splash of chili-infused butter, but the fire is nothing a draught Guinness or Pimm’s Cup can’t put out.

D[_]^Xeh^eeZ D_XXb[i0 There’s more to Georgetown’s culinary scene than cupcake shops. Try the best of it at the Taste of Georgetown, when 30 restaurants offer samples (Wisconsin Avenue NW between M and K streets; Saturday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; $5 for one tasting ticket, $20 for five; Tasteofgeorgetown.com). A panel of judges, including Graffiato and Bandolero chef Mike Isabella, HOT 99.5’s Samy K, Washington City Paper’s Jessica Sidman and Express’ Katie Aberbach, will rate the fare. (E XPRESS)

Washington gets a nod from “Man v.

Food” host Adam Richman in his new Travel Channel show, “Best Sandwich in America” (Wednesdays at 9 p.m., beginning next week). The series pits 27 cities’ sandwiches against each other, in a March Madness-style bracket showdown. One victor will eventually be determined by Richman’s subjective taste buds.

It won’t be from D.C. That’s because our sandwich is a $19 chicken club from the 8o AWj_[ W Hotel (above, with 7X[hXWY^ Richman and chef Philippe Reininger, of J&G Steakhouse, which makes the W’s food).

Richman said he stumbled upon the club — which is available only through the W’s room service — while he was staying at the W. Imagine that! (Richman said he initially didn’t know that the sandwich containing grilled chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce and a sunnyside-up egg was room-service-only. It’s “unfortunate,” he said, but “it’s kind of cool that it’s a secret sandwich.”)

The next closest “best sandwiches” hail from Richmond, Va., and Baltimore.

Richmond’s quirky, cozy Black Sheep restaurant submits the CSS Virginia, filled with fried chicken livers, remoulade and apples. It’s a creative combo you probably won’t find anywhere else.

Baltimore’s rep is Faidley Seafood’s crab cake sandwich, which was recommended to Richman by resident and “Ace of Cakes” star Duff Goldman. It’s not only a local tradition, it’s even endorsed by locals! Obviously, that’s more than we can say for our chicken club.

Them and Thicke On ABC’s singing competition “Duets,” the stars personally pick contestants, DUET WITH THEM, then pass judgment. The premiere aired last Thursday; episode No. 2 is tonight at 8 p.m. Let’s meet the judges.

Country singer Jennifer Nettles: Golly, I’ve never even heard of you!

You sure like sparkly clothes. You sure sing purty. You sure cry a lot, but no wonder. You had to choose between two sad contestants: a fatherless man who al8o CWhY most died of tonsillitis I_bl[h until God saved him, or a man with a 5-month-old baby and another ON THE WAY who wanted ONE LAST CHANCE to prove he can support his family by singing. (P.S. Tonsillitis man won.) ”American Idol” Kelly Clarkson (above right): You’re so cute! Why’d you tell a female contestant “I’d give my left leg to look like you”? Maybe Dr. Drew can rehab your self-esteem.

Soul man John Legend: Your beefy duet partner sweats buckets while you shed nary a drop. How do you stay so cool?

R&B singer Robin Thicke (above left): Your pompadour is funny! So is your grammar! The drinking game for “Duets” should be: Imbibe every time Thicke says “her and I.” Read Marc’s previous columns at: expressnightout.com/muse

“He is single-handedly responsible for the extraordinary increase in acoustic flat-picking and fingerpicking guitar performance,” the late Ralph Rinzler, an influential folklorist who first recorded Watson in the early 1960s, once wrote. “His flat-picking style has no precedent in earlier country music history.”

Watson’s repertoire included country songs, blues and contemporary folk by writers including Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton. And he was musically adventurous, once even jamming on his flat-top folk guitar

He was 89.

Watson, who lost his sight in infancy from an undiagnosed illness, was the founder of MerleFest, a traditional music event in Wilkesboro, N.C., and one of the largest annual folk festivals in the South. The festival was named for his son and frequent musical partner, Merle Watson, who died in a tractor accident in 1985.

In a career that spanned seven decades, Watson influenced such diverse musicians as Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead, Clarence White of the Byrds, the innovative acoustic picker Leo Kottke and bluegrass

He was best known, however, for his old-timey music — the fiddle tunes that he adapted for the guitar and traditional folk songs, such as “Shady Grove,” that had been passed down through oral tradition.

;Yb_fi[Z Xo C_njWf[ Ekjfkj Rap trio Travis Porter is lively but lacking on debut CD ‘From Day 1’

<hec :Wo ' Travis Porter

Sure, the iPod era has allowed us to soundtrack our lives more privately than ever, but our public spaces will always need music.

Coffee shops need genteel folk ballads. Sports arenas need jock jams. And strip clubs need anthems like “Make It Rain.”

That’s the name of Travis Porter’s lewd breakout single, which somehow made its way out of the gentlemen’s clubs and onto the nation-

al airwaves more than a year ago.

Who was Travis Porter? It was trio of rappers, actually — Ali, Quez and Strap, now all 20 years old. Hailing from Decatur, Ga., they are following in the footsteps of rappers from neighboring Atlanta who popularized hip-hop’s “crunk” and “snap”

subgenres in the early aughties.

The group has made a significant splash on the radio, but parent groups haven’t been protesting Travis Porter as if they were 2 Live Crew 2. That’s because the strip club doesn’t feel so forbidden in 2012.

So what “From Day 1” lacks in shock value, it makes up for with exuberance, the trio rapping about grown-up stuff with kidlike abandon.

It’s more lively than filthy, but here’s the rub. This is Travis Porter’s debut album, but since forming in 2008 the group has released dozens of mix tapes for free online. And they’re full of songs as good as anything on “From Day 1” — or better.

Running in Place For a band that ostensibly harbors avant-garde ambitions, Icelandic quartet Sigur Ros’ new album, “Valtari,” can sound awfully conventional. The opening track, “Eg Anda,” is lovely in its way but fundamentally reminiscent of a great deal of majorkey synth rock. This isn’t a bad Sigur Ros record, but it’s not an adventurous one either.

‘Breaking Pointe’ shows how ballet can be a brutal art form H[Wb_jo

Summer, it seems, is the dance season for those who aren’t “Dancing With the Stars.” Fox waits for the “The X Factor” and “American Idol” to finish before airing “So You Think You Can Dance” (Wednesdays, 8 p.m.). Then there’s Randy Jackson’s group competition series, “America’s Next Best Dance Crew” (MTV, Wednesdays, 10 p.m.).

Now comes the new dance series “Breaking Pointe.” It’s the second CW summer show (after “The Catalina”) to offer a documentarystyle, behind-the-scenes look at a 9M

Here we enter the elite ballet corps at Ballet West, a professional ballet company based in Salt Lake City, where the emphasis is on brutal training, leading to a quest for physical perfection, athletic stamina and an exquisite sense of grace and movement. Add a constant fear of being cut, gaining weight or getting injured and you can understand why films about dance are so often linked to a dancer’s inner demons.

The two best movies about ballet — “The Red Shoes” and “The Black Swan” — ended with their heroines literarily being consumed by their devotion to dance. That’s not to say “Breaking Pointe” will get that intense. But there’s nothing casual about the toe-shoe crowd.

In the premiere, Kim must deal with backtalk from Angela, a less-than-respectful shearwielder who falls asleep on the job. K.M.

“Between posting his American Express black card online, getting a tattoo of a five dollar bill on his throat and getting a frickin’ ATM installed in his kitchen, it is almost like DeShawn Stevenson would like everyone to know that he has made more than $25 million in his career.”

— TREY KERBY AT BLOGS.THESCORE. COM was impressed by the Brooklyn Nets’ player’s kitchen decoration, above, that he displayed in a picture he posted on Twitter Tuesday night.

“Whoa. We’ve heard Anne Hathaway sing a bit before. And we’ve seen her with that haircut. But we’re not sure any of that prepared us for her powerful ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ performance in the teaser trailer for ‘Les Miserables.’”

— SABRINA ROJAS WEISS AT VH1.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to walk someone through a planned project today if you expect him or her to do things exactly as you desire.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have certain habits that, quite surprisingly, will serve you well as you face an unexpected challenge late in the day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are likely to find yourself behind the eight ball for a time today, but this uncomfortable situation is not likely to be long-lasting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can break up the monotony with a few interesting episodes that also involve people you have only just met. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have fun!

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may be smarter than most of the people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be dealing with today, but you mustnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act as if you are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or, worse, as if you know it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may discover that things are not happening the way they are supposed to happen around you. Adjustments can have a big impact.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may have to put up with things that others will not tolerate, in the name of progress. You can solve a strange problem â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your perspective may be an unusual one, but if you share it with others, it is likely to become one of the most popular around.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

<EKH H79A JEJ7B Make a 2-7 letter word from the letters in each row.

Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

9ec_Yi

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may feel as though you are behind the times, but your love of things traditional can actually serve you well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may have trouble fitting one of your big ideas into the packaging that someone else suggests. You must do this your way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your experiences may be tainted today by feelings of uncertainty that are simply getting in the way of your ability to progress quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A new adventure and a new friendship bring an exciting romance into your life. It may take an unusual form.
