reaching on regulation, especially when it comes to new rules that tell schools what children can eat on campus.
But the plate is supposed to be a suggestion, not a direction, said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. He said the new round chart shows that nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated and showed off the new plate with first lady Michelle Obama, who has made healthful diets for children a priority. “Parents don’t have the time to measure out exactly 3 ounces of protein,” Michelle Obama said as she introduced the graphic. “We do have time to look at our kids’ plates.” MARY CL ARE JALONICK (AP)

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was subpoenaed by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office over the investment bank’s activities leading up to the financial crisis, a person familiar with the matter said. Shares of Goldman fell nearly 2 percent to $133.88 a share after Bloomberg News reported earlier Thursday about the subpoena. Goldman has been watched by lawmakers and regulators since marketing risky investments that bet on the housing market’s success just before the mortgage meltdown. Simultaneously, the bank reaped billions of dollars from its own bets that the housing market would collapse. Those gains also made it the target of intense media scrutiny and public outrage. (AP)

The new guide is divided into four slightly different-sized quadrants, with fruits and vegetables taking up half the space and grains and protein making up the other half. The vegetables and grains portions are the largest of the four. Gone are the old pyramid’s references to sugars, fats or oils. What was once a category called “meat and beans” is now simply “proteins,” making way for seafood and vegetarian options such as tofu. Next to the plate is a blue circle for dairy, which could be a glass of milk or

The sight of f lattened homes, peeled-off roofs and the toppled steeple of a 140-year-old church stunned New Englanders after deadly tornadoes swept through Massachusetts, striking an area of the country that rarely sees such severe twisters. The storms, which came with fair warning but still shocked with their intensity, killed at least three people in the state’s first tornado-related deaths in 16 years. The storms injured about 200 and wreaked damage in a string of 18 cities and villages across central and western Massachusetts. Tornadoes are not unheard of in New England — the downtown of Connecticut’s largest city was devastated by one last June — so many people heeded warnings. That didn’t guarantee their survival; among the dead was a mother who shielded her teenage daughter as they huddled

A serial sex offender was ordered Thursday to spend the rest of his life in prison after the California woman he kidnapped, raped and held captive for 18 years said he and his wife had stolen her life. Victim Jaycee Dugard was 11 when she was abducted by Phillip and Nancy Garrido as her stepfather watched her walk toward a school bus. She gave birth to two daughters fathered by Garrido. The defendants kept their heads down as Dugard’s mother, Terry Probyn, read her daughter’s statement at the hearing.

New strain caused 1,600 in Europe to fall ill, officials say BedZed
Scientists on Thursday blamed Europe’s worst recorded food-poisoning outbreak on a “super-toxic” strain of E. coli bacteria that may be brand new. But while suspicion has fallen on raw tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce as the source of the germs, officials have been unable to pinpoint the food responsible for the illness, which has killed at least 18 people, sickened more than 1,600 and spread to least 10 European countries. An large number of victims — about 500 — have developed kidney

complications that can be deadly. The outbreak is already considered the third-largest involving E. coli in recent world history. Chinese and German scientists analyzed the DNA of the E. coli bacteria and determined that the outbreak was caused by “an entirely new, super-toxic” strain that contains several antibiotic-resistant genes, according to a statement from the Shenzhen, China-based laboratory BGI. It said the strain appeared to be a combination of two types of E. coli. “This is a unique strain that has never been isolated from patients before,” said Hilde Kruse, a food safety expert at the World Health Organization. The strain has “various characteristics that make it more virulent and toxin-producing”

IWdÉW" O[c[d Thousands of tribesmen threatened Thursday to descend on Yemen’s capital to join the battle against forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh as the country slid deeper into an all-out fight for power, and regime forces in San‘a unleashed some of the heaviest shelling yet against their tribal rivals in an escalation of the conflict. For months, protesters have tried to oust Saleh peacefully. But the effort has morphed into a showdown in San‘a between Yemen’s two most powerful families, the president’s and the al-Ahmar clan, which leads Yemen’s strongest tribal confederation.

than the E. coli strains people naturally carry in their intestines. However, Dr. Robert Tauxe, a food-borne disease expert at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, questioned whether the strain is new, saying it had caused a case in Korea in the 1990s.

Kan Survives No-Confidence Vote in Japan To pacify politicians, + PM offers to resign

“Once the post-quake reconstruction efforts are settled, I will pass on my responsibility to younger generations,” Kan said. Buying himself time and warding off a challenge that threatened to send Japan’s Kan government into a deeper morass, Kan won by a vote of 293-152 in the lower house of parliament.

J^[ >[Wj ?i Ed If you’ve never heard the term “hot car,” you might think it sounds awesome. Maybe that’s where the scantily clad interns hang out, or it’s painted cherry red and has a convertible top. Unfortunately, it really means a train car with a busted AC unit. And when the temperature climbs into the triple digits, there is no worse place on Earth — especially if you’re blockaded in by tourists. That’s why this is a problem being closely monitored by FixWmata. com, which started compiling its HotCar list last July in the wake of too many sweltering situations. The blogger behind the site, who wishes to remain anonymous, figured that if he was this annoyed, other riders were, too. He was right. Soon,
lots of folks were tweeting him info on offenders using the #hotcar hashtag. “I was going to track hot stations, too. But that would be a list of 86 stations,” half-jokes the blogger behind the site. He’d been on hiatus, but we chatted last week just after he launched his 2011 list (which was already up
to 24 complaints as of press time). He’s hoping that WMATA finally starts paying attention to his data and makes necessary repairs. Last year, people reported uncomfortably warm temperatures in the same exact cars over weeks and even months. The stats also indicate that somet h i ng ’s s e r iou sly wrong with the 5000 series cars, which show up way more often than any of the others. His pick? 2000 series cars. Not one has been reported. (Good luck figuring out which cars are which from the platform — although the numbers are visible on the sides of the cars, I’ve never taken note of one in the scramble to get on board.) But as irritating as it is to lose rush hour roulette and end up on one of these cursed cars, saving yourself isn’t that difficult: Just get off at the next stop and squeeze onto one of the cooler cars, or wait for the next train. And if you find yourself sweating it out, be thankful you didn’t end up on the “hell train.” Maybe you remember that almost exactly a year ago, a MARC train broke down near New Carrollton, trapping 1,200 commuters for more than two hours without air conditioning. Ten had to be treated by paramedics, but all of them were clearly scarred by the experience. Ever since moving to Baltimore in September, I’ve kept meeting survivors who’ve regaled me with horrific tales and advised me to start carrying a water bottle should there ever be a repeat incident. Makes a “hot car” not sound so bad at all.

Md. Proposes Significant Toll Increases Motorists who cross Bay Bridge would feel harshest impact Motorists who use the Intercounty Connector without an E-ZPass would have to pay 25 percent higher tolls while beachgoers crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge would see their tolls double under a statewide toll hike proposed Thursday. The Maryland Transportation Authority said higher tolls are needed to repair its aging tunnels, bridges and highways, and to build the $2.5 billion ICC and $1 billion worth of Express Toll Lanes on

Commuters using the Bay Bride would see their tolls double under a new proposal.
Interstate 95 near Baltimore. If approved this summer, it would be Maryland’s first state-
wide toll increase. For some facilities, such as the Bay Bridge, it would be the first toll hike since 1975,
state officials said. “Obviously, it’s never a good time to do this, but people need to understand that financial obligations were made and the bills are now coming due,” said Beverley Swaim-Staley, Maryland’s transportation secretary and the authority board’s chairman. “There isn’t really a choice here.” Motorists hardest hit in the Washington region would be Eastern Shore residents who commute over the Bay Bridge daily to jobs in Annapolis, Baltimore and the District. Commuter tolls for two-axle vehicles would increase from the current $1 round trip to $1.50 on Oct. 1 and $2.80 in July 2013. KATHERINE SHAVER (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Let the Battle Begin Romney leads the GOP pack, but his top spot remains far from assured
ED HECD;OĂ&#x160;I JH7?B Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin arrived in New Hampshire as Mitt Romney was breaking camp after his announcement. Palinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bus tour, she has insisted all week, is not a political event. But the closer she came to New Hampshire, the more it took on the trappings. Palinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team reportedly has invited some conservatives to a Thursday night clambake.
7dWboi_i Front-running candidates like to imagine a path to victory if only they run the race as they envision, and on the windswept farm from which he launched his presidential campaign in Stratham, N.H., on Thursday, Mitt Romney no doubt hoped that will be the case. But like all front-runners, no matter how strong or fragile, Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggle will be trying to stay on the course he has set, to run his race and not the race that his rivals and others attempt to make him run. Can he make this campaign all about the economy and President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stewardship in office? Or will he find himself in constant conflict over his Massachusetts health care mandate, his conservative credentials, his â&#x20AC;&#x153;authenticityâ&#x20AC;? and questions about whether he can rally the Republican Party? Romney begins his second White House bid in far stronger shape than he started his first four years ago, with a message sharply honed and more focused. He is better positioned than his rivals and more experienced. It is an enviable but hardly an impregnable position, given the questions that surround him and the narrowness of the margin in the polls atop which he sits. His message on Thursday was pitched more to a general election audience than to his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base. Boiled down to four sentences, it went like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barack Obama has failed America. When he took office, the economy was in recession. He made it worse. And he made it last longer.â&#x20AC;?
Ă&#x2021;?j Xh[Wai co ^[Whj je i[[ m^Wj _i ^Wff[d_d] je j^_i ]h[Wj Yekdjho$ De" Ch$ Fh[i_Z[dj" oek ^WZ oekh Y^WdY[$Ă&#x2C6; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MIT T ROMNE Y, SPEAKING THURSDAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AS HE OFFICIALLY BEGAN
Hours before Romney spoke, the budding campaign of Jon Huntsman Jr., a former Utah governor, sent out an email attacking Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record. Huntsman arrives this weekend for another round of testing the waters, already warming to the coming competition with the frontrunner.
Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, a tea party darling, is inching toward a run. She will participate in presidential debate in New Hampshire on June 13, an aide said.
HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

The portion of Republicans and the Republican-leaning voters who said they were unhappy with their current choices in the presidential field, according to a Washington Post/Pew Research Center poll released this week. (T WP)
Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the message he wants to carry through the nomination battle, if only it were that simple. Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front-running status owes as much to his prowess as a fundraiser as to the depth and breadth of his political support. He is a candidate capable of raising more than $10 million in a single day, a prodigious achievement. He threatens to leave his rivals in the dust at the end of this quarter
in money raised and banked. That is an enviable position. Yet he is a front-runner who must still decide whether he can risk anything approaching a serious effort in the Iowa caucuses or how he will maneuver in South Carolina. Republican nominees in many past campaigns have begun their campaigns as heirs apparent. Romney is in a different position. If he wins the Republican nomination, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be because it was his turn as the beloved senior Republican in the race. If he wins, it will because he earned it, not just by running the campaign he hopes to run but also by preventing his rivals from dictating the battle on their terms. DAN BAL Z (THE WASHINGTON POST )
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has dropped hints he may run. Perry was the first major elected official to attend a tea party rally, embracing the nascent movement when many establishment politicians were leery of being associated too closely with it. That gives him a baseline credibility with a group looking to exert influence in the 2012 presidential race in the same way it did in the 2010 midterms. (TWP/AP)
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani visited a restaurant in New Hampshire and met with state activists. Giuliani said he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided whether he will run again and that he expects to make up his mind by the end of the summer. But he certainly sounded like a candidate, telling reporters that Obama is leading the nation in the wrong direction.

9ebb[][ 8Wi[XWbb Relaxing in a chair after practice, Danny Hultzen started to smile. The University of Virginia star pitcher no longer had to worry about rolling out of bed in time for early-morning classes. He did not have to cram for any exams. There were no assignments coming due. “It’s awesome,” Hultzen said a few days after semester exams had finished. “All that stress of schoolwork and staying up to study for tests and writing is gone. It’s nice that you can really set your mind to playing baseball.” Of course, some might expect that playing the game he loves is a more stressful exercise for Hultzen than excelling in the classroom, where the former St. Albans standout was named an academic all-American this spring. Every time Hultzen took the mound this season — which the 6-foot3 southpaw will do again this weekend as the Cavaliers host an NCAA tournament regional that begins Friday — professional scouts and front-office executives have followed. In recent weeks, things have gotten especially intense. With Hultzen’s stock rising leading up to the threeday draft that begins Monday evening, high-level team executives — including Pittsburgh Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington, whose team holds the first pick — have made their way to see Hultzen pitch.

Je I_]d eh Dej5 The only question about Danny Hultzen is whether he will sign with the team that drafts him this year. Coming out of high school, Hultzen and his family were considered standoffish by some scouts because they told clubs that he was not interested in pursuing a professional career at the time. While he fell in the draft because he said he did not plan to sign a contract, the Arizona Diamondbacks still selected Hultzen in the 10th round. By going to Virginia, Hultzen was not eligible for the draft again until this year. If he does not sign a contract with the team that drafts him by a mid-August deadline, he would go back into the draft next year. (T WP)
of the Year honors and then being named the ACC Pitcher of the Year the past two seasons. He already has set school records for victories (30) and strikeouts (356). This season Hultzen is 10-3 with a 1.59 ERA. He also is batting .305 with 29 runs batted in as a part-time designated hitter when he is not pitching. This spring, as he has gone from a likely first-rounder to a near-certain top-five pick, Hultzen has visited only with officials from the top six teams picking in the draft and the scouting bureau, which sends information to every club. One of
the ground rules for the meetings was that Hultzen would not discuss financial contract terms. If necessary, the final game of the regional tournament is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, the same time that the draft begins. Hultzen almost certainly will pitch one of the games before then, meaning he could be in the dugout when his name is called. “Obviously, it’s always been a dream of mine to play pro ball and make the major leagues, but there are other things in front of me, and that’s this team,” Hultzen said. JOSH BARR (THE WASHINGTON POST )
Danny Hultzen is considered a polished pitcher with good velocity (a fastball in the low to mid-90s) and above-average stuff (his pitches have good movement). Regardless of how much digging into the past a scout does, the reports on Hultzen come back similar. He carries himself well and is humble off the field. Ask about his cooking skills and how he might manage without a school cafeteria or meal plan, and Hultzen jokes that he “can use the microwave pretty well” and that a roommate is teaching him how to light a charcoal grill.

Rookie Espinosa Is a Hit With His Glove Second baseman’s fielding makes up for low batting averge
Fem[h Ikffbo

J^[ DWj_edWbi Danny Espinosa knows the challenge but chooses not to obsess over it. Establishing yourself as a majorleague hitter is no simple task, but doing it as a switch-hitter doubles the difficulty level. Espinosa, Washington’s rookie second baseman, is a natural righthanded hitter and most comfortable from that side of the plate. It allows his dominant hand to be on top, driving the bat and creating power. He likes the ball high and out over the plate. From the right side, he’s hitting .300. Though he hits left-handed more often since most pitchers are right-handed, his swing from
minor-league at bats. But while his batting average is, well, below average, he still leads the team in home runs (10) and RBI (33) and has played Gold Glove-caliber defense. And the 24-year-old product of Long Beach State has impressed veterans with his level-headed and diligent approach to preparation. “He is a ballplayer,” right fielder Jayson Werth said. “He went to a college program that was all about baseball. They play the game the right way. They had some really good players come out of there. Hopefully, he will be another one.” Starter Jason Marquis raved on Tuesday about how Espinosa has never let struggles at the plate affect his defense. “That’s one thing that’s going to keep him around for a long time and be a special ballplayer,” Marquis said.
The Nats’ Danny Espinosa is hitting .182 left-handed this season and .214 total.
the left side requires significantly more upkeep, more time in the batting cage refining his mechanics. He still manages some power, but he’s more successful hitting
low, inside pitches. From the left side, he’s hitting .182. “He’s an electric player,” manager Jim Riggleman said. “He’s got power from both sides of the plate.
The Nationals certainly expected decent power numbers from the middle of the batting order this season. Of course, those numbers were supposed to come from Jayson Werth, Ryan Zimmerman and Adam LaRoche, not Laynce Nix, Michael Morse and Danny Espinosa. Injuries have limited LaRoche and Zimmerman, allowing the latter trio to combine for 26 homers. Nix hit his ninth homer Wednesday, Morse has seven, and Espinosa leads all with 10. D.T.
He’s going to be a tremendous player as the left-hand side catches up with the right-hand side.” In 182 at bats through Wednesday, Espinosa was hitting .214, the same average he posted in 103 at bats late last season and well below his .270 average in more than 1,000

After the league’s most hostile environment proved to be no match for D.C. United’s wide-eyed young guns, the danger level gets raised a bit Friday night. United became the first MLS team to win at Portland, Ore., last weekend and will now try to break the league-leading Los Angeles Galaxy’s home unbeaten run in Friday’s game. A rookie- and reserve-filled squad got the job done in Portland, with first-year forward Blake Brettschneider leading with two assists in the 3-2 victory.

Records: D.C. (4-4-3), Los Angeles (8-2-5) Last Meeting: April 9, 2011; Charlie Davies controversially drew a late penalty and converted the ensuing spot kick in the 90th minute to salvage a 1-1 draw. David Beckham, who claimed “even my 6-year-old son would know not to call that a penalty,” set up the Galaxy’s goal with a cross in the 12th minute. Connections: United captain Dax McCarty’s brother, Dustin, is a rookie on the Galaxy; L.A. defenders Omar Gonzalez and A.J. DeLaGarza played at the University of Maryland. A.C.
and Joseph Ngwenya, the team will have to plug a new hole, the one left by Dejan Jakovic, who injured his hamstring playing for Canada in an exhibition match. The Galaxy, which has the most points in the league (29) and a 4-0-2 home record, will be shorthanded, too. U.S. national team star Landon Donovan, who missed the earlier meeting between the two teams at RFK Stadium with a knee injury, and Jamaican goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts have departed to be with their respective national teams for the Gold Cup. Los A ngeles still boasts a healthy David Beckham, though, and has proved it can secure results without Donovan this season. “There’s a reason why they’re the best team right now in MLS,” said D.C. rookie Perry Kitchen, who scored his first career goal against Portland. “They’ve got great players. ... We’re definitely going to have our hands full.” AVI CREDITOR

When news broke last season that star player Alana Beard, right, would miss the entirety of the schedule with an ankle tendon injury, many wrote off the Mystics’ season. Despite her injury, the team put together a surprising season before being knocked out of the Eastern Conference semifinals in two games by the Dream. Back, and healthy, Beard figures to help boost the team’s lethargic offense. In her six years as a WNBA pro, Beard has averaged 16.2 points per game and has a .760 free throw percentage.
D[m <WY[i Much will be said about how the Mystics are trying to repeat last year’s run to finish first in the Eastern Conference, but the 2010 team was vastly different. Mainstays Crystal Langhorne and Monique Currie are two of the major pieces left from last years’ roster, but the supporting cast has gotten younger. This year’s roster features three rookies: Center Ta’Shia Phillips, guard Jasmine Thomas and forward Karima Christmas. Despite the youthfulness of the roster, the Mystics added some experience to help with the team’s offense: Kelly Miller, above — a 10-year veteran acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Dream in April.
Jasmine Thomas is expected to offset the loss of Lindsey Harding for the Mystics, who open their season in Connecticut on Saturday night. Their first home game is on June 11 versus Chicago.

NBA Needs James To Earn His Crown
/#.
Washington’s road record a year ago, a number head coach Trudi Lacey would like to improve. The last time the Mystics beat their season-opening opponent, the Sun, on the road was in 2006. R.A.
and their preseason games have shown it’s not all hype. Despite major turnover on the roster, the Mystics went 2-0 in May and kick off their regular-season schedule Saturday with a road game against the Connecticut Sun. Here are a few of the story lines and questions surrounding the team as it enters the season sporting a new lineup and a snazzy new red, white and blue look. REED S. ALBERS
>ec[jemd >[he Fans wanting a local angle can cheer for rookie Jasmine Thomas, left. In late April, a trade with the Seattle Storm sent the Virginia native and Oakton High School graduate to her hometown hoops team (and the one she interned for last summer). The point guard has already seen high-quality minutes in the Mystics’ preseason games (she scored five points in the team’s 66-55 preseason win over Chicago), and while it’s unknown how big a role she’ll play at the start, the Duke graduate is expected to help alleviate the loss of Lindsey Harding, who was sent to Atlanta in a trade.
“Long live the king.” Surely that’s what commissioner David Stern and his cronies in the NBA offices are saying right about now. Weeks before a lockout will shut down the league for a period that could dwarf the NFL’s still-unresolved work stoppage — and a day after the NBA’s most charismatic player announced he’s retiring — pro basketball is desperate for some 8o CWjj good news. Im[died Nothing says sunny skies like a boy king finally earning his crown. LeBron James seems on the cusp of hoisting his Excalibur out of the stone and, in the process, filling the one hole in his resume.
J^[ \ehc[h j[[d fheZ_]o ^Wi X[[d j^[ ijeho e\ j^[ D87 Wbb i[Wied$
If[Wa_d] E\ E\\[di[ ¾ While the defense drove the team in 2010 — Washington held teams to just 73.2 points per game — scoring proved to be a challenge. Washington finished third worst in points per game (76.9), and only three players were in double digits for scoring per game: Crystal Langhorne (16.3), above; Monique Currie (14.1); and Lindsey Harding (12.1), who is no longer with the team. In the preseason, it’s been Langhorne and Miller pacing the offense. A 10-year veteran of the league, Miller leads the team with 24 points in the Mystics’ two preseason wins, and Langhorne follows with 23.
Sure, it took teaming with two other superstars to do it, but better that than join the likes of Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing, who retired without an NBA championship. And in joining the Heat with the infamous made-for-TV “Decision,” James took himself to a whole new level. The former teen prodigy has been the story of the NBA all season. Fittingly, he is the story at the end, too. And we may be watching a dynasty in the making. So if the NBA does close its doors for what promises to be a nasty fight, at least it knows James will be there on the other side. James, after all, has managed to turn the vitriol against him into one of the best NBA stories in years. Maybe he can do the same for the entire league. He is the NBA’s once and future king.

Home” (AMACOM, 2009). Davis suggests talking to at least three lenders, choosing the ones you think you could work with the best and asking each for a Good Faith Estimate. Once you’ve made a final selection based on which lender has the best annual percentage rate, you’ll fill out a formal application.The lender then comes back with a figure of how much you can afford. Be careful though, warns Davis. “Even though lenders will let you borrow more than you can afford, you have to take some responsibility and know your own limitations,” he says.

Association of Realtors. A Realtor can help you speak with mortgage lenders, recommend home inspectors and act on your behalf when dealing with the seller’s broker. But the Realtor’s most important job, says Davis, is to sit down with you and listen to your needs, and then find you a good deal on a great home. “This is where the agent’s expertise really becomes important,” Davis says.
tion.“You want to have him explain what the problem is, how serious it is, how much it’ll cost you to fix it and what you can do with it,” Davis says.
THE HOME INSPECTOR
THE CLOSING AGENT
Once you’ve found that dream home and your offer has been accepted, it’s time to find a home inspector. Often, your Realtor can recommend one, but Davis cautions against using an inspector you’re pressured to hire. “If an inspector comes back with a bad inspection report it can kill the deal,” Davis says. A good place to look is the American Society of Home Inspectors website, www.ashi.com. Davis recommends being present during the inspec-
The closing agent – which can be an attorney, a title company or a broker – will put together the final pieces of your home purchase. Be sure to have your attorney with you to explain the documents you’ll be signing and to answer any questions. “All the closer does is just escrow funds, accept funds and provide a place to come in and sign the paperwork. They don’t make any decisions on your behalf,” Davis says. © CTW Features
THE APPRAISER Hired by your lender, the appraiser assesses the home’s value to be sure you’re not overpaying. If the appraiser’s value comes in at or above the sale price, you’re on your way to closing.

FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER’S GUIDE
In With the New Invest in more than new furniture to make the most of your new home
IMPROVE, IMPROVE, IMPROVE 1. IMPROVE THE HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM “[You] can replace an old 10 SEER HVAC system with a higher performance unit,” says Paul Zuch, 2010-2011 president of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Des Plaines, Ill.The minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio approved by the Department of Energy is now 13, which allows an annual savings in cooling a home that is 18 percent higher than savings with 10 SEER systems. 2. REPLACE OLD, DRAFTY WINDOWS This will save you hundreds of dollars a year in lower utility bills.According to Remodeling magazine’s “2009 Cost vs.Value Report,” window-replacement projects recouped approximately 75 percent of their cost at resale.

T
he average buyer of a new single-family detached home tends to spend about $4,900 on appliances, furnishings, and remodeling activities in the first year after purchase, according to a 2008 National Association of Home Builders study.Within the first two years after purchase, new buyers tend to spend $7,400 more than existing homeowners. There are smart ways and not-sosmart ways to spend on and invest in your new home. Here are some expert tips to get you thinking in the right direction.
3. TURN OFF WASTEFUL WATER HEATING “Tank-type water heaters maintain a constant hot water temperature 24/7, 365 days a year,” Zuch says.“They can be replaced with a tankless water heater that only heats water as it is being used and provides an endless supply of hot water.” 4. IMPROVE ATTIC INSULATION Boosting your new homes thermal resistance is a great way to lower utilities from the get-go. 5. UPGRADE TO GREEN, WATERCONSERVING FIXTURES “Reduce water consumption by hundreds of gallons a month with dual-flush toilets, water-saver shower heads and rain-sensor-equipped lawn irrigation systems,” Zuch says.
SPLURGE ON SMALL LUXURIES 6. MAKE YOUR BATHROOM A SPA PARADISE “You could paint it a bright color, buy a new lighting fixture, a new faucet or even invest in gorgeous towels or other small bathroom luxuries,” says interior

designer Jill Vegas, the author of “Speed Decorating” (Taunton Press, 2009). 7. INVEST IN A NEW KITCHEN COUNTERTOP If you’re looking to immediately improve the aesthetics of your eating area,“this is a great alternative if you don’t have the cash to gut the kitchen,” Vegas says. 8. FACELIFT YOUR HOME’S FAÇADE “Paint the front door, get some new building numbers, a new doorknob or knocker or light fixture,”Vegas says. “That would be a really quick thing to make your new place a home.” 9. SPLURGE ON TOP-QUALITY LINENS “Buyers should look for the small luxuries that will make their everyday life just a little better, a little nicer,”Vegas says. 10. GO FOR THE BIG SCREEN If you’re going to spend your time lounging on a new sofa in a new living room, why not make the most of it by mounting a new HDTV on the wall? © CTW Features

You’ve been on food TV shows since 2003. Any tips for wannabe hosts? Be yourself on camera! It’s something that sounds so easy — but I think many people just freeze up on camera or try to imitate someone else.
Did any food trends or new ingredients show up this season? You’ll see people from different parts of the country using some ingredients in new ways, like tofu.
What makes good food TV? Colorful food and lots of visuals. I always think that the food should be in the forefront, with lots of close-ups. People should feel like they’re swimming in chocolate.
How has being a mom changed how you cook? I’ve had to get a lot faster. I used to make homemade sausages, stocks and pastas, but now I can’t do that. I’ve had to find shortcuts!
Is there anything that really messes up a cooking show? Well, if everything is one texture, like a sloppy joe, it can look a little messy. That’s harder to get people interested in. You need to spark some interest or emotion with the food.
You recently created a line of pots for Target. What inspired it? I’d been using Le Creuset for years, and while I loved it, I thought it was too expensive. And I also wanted to create a line of of cookware with handles that were smaller and easier for women to hold.
What can make a person a bad fit for food TV? I think that anyone who gets frazzled in the kitchen and has a camera on them — we try not to get too much of that. But audiences do relate to that kind of thing, and
What kitchen gadget can you not live without? My mezzaluna knife is my favorite thing. You can slice with it, chop with it. I even travel with it, though in checked luggage! JENNIFER BARGER (E XPRESS)

inspiration from biology, old-timey machines and other decidedly left-brain concepts. But her new collection, Elmidae — named for a type of beetle — looks pretty as well as brainy. Just in stock at Proper Topper (1350 Connecticut Ave. NW; 202-842-3055), her well-tailored, inventive pieces range from the sporty-preppy “Velebita” skirt (shown, $240) and drapey tanks, ($85) to unusual silk and brass bead necklaces (shown, similar for $196).

Australia’s Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Shampoos and Conditioner ($11, The Vitamin Shoppe, 3100 14th St. NW; 202-588703) uses tea tree, lavender and lime oils to remove unwanted buildup on the scalp and hair follicles. The organic and vegan-friendly products give tresses the sort of healthy shine one might see on Down Under divas like Nicole Kidman or Naomi Watts.
Spot On, Spotoff ANY BRAND that boasts a neologism as shamelessly unpronouncable as “Herbatergent” deserves props — at least it’s creative. Vaska’s new product line, based on the all-natural laundry soap ($9.99 for 48 oz., Target), includes Spotoff Advanced Botanicals Spot Remover ($9.59 for 22-oz. bottle). It didn’t conquer an ancient grease stain, but what could? Warning: Natural or not, Spotoff has a strong smell, and is not for sensitive noses.

This summer I’ll be on a faculty fellowship at an Ivy League college, where an ambitious film actor is also pursuing one of his 11 or so literary Ph.D.s.

Manolo says, to paraphrase the immortal Dorothy Parker: Seldom cast as actresses, are the girls who wear glasseses. Despite the unusual circumstances, this is the old conundrum: How does the smarty-smart girl attract the male gaze without feeling, self-consciously, that she is the gender-traitor for conforming to the traditional, heteronormative, patriarchal orthodoxy? Although, the modern world, being infinitely more complicated than the 1980s music videos, offers further difficulties that Ms. Parker could never have imagined. Or, to paraphrase the Thomas Dolby, “Good Heavens, Miss Sakamoto! You’ve filed harassment charges against me for noticing that you’re beautiful!” Which is why the pretty-boy actors tend to date the pretty-girl actresses, because such academy-specific complications do not enter into the mathematics of Hollywood romance. But it never hurts to give it the old college try. Here is the Willie from Diane von Furstenberg ($210, Zappos. com), the sharp-looking wedge heel sandal with enough intellectual interest to maintain one’s credibility in the faculty lounge.

Creatures from above sometimes want to be friends. Here, a historical guide to visitors past, nice and not.
“E.T. The Extraterrestrial” (1982) No being is more endearing than E.T., with his fondness for Reese’s Pieces and ability to blend in with stuffed animals. Add in healing powers and that he can make a bike fly, and he’s every kid’s best friend.

“The Iron Giant” (1999) A giant alien robot doesn’t sound like a good BFF. But in this underrated animated film directed by Brad Bird (who also helmed “The Incredibles” and “Ratatouille”), a little boy befriends the eponymous creature. And then the government shows up and it (surprise!) all goes to hell. Bring Kleenex.

“Plan 9 From Outer Space” (1959) Eros isn’t scary. (It’s an Ed Wood film. Nothing is scary.) But the humanoid alien, played by Dudley Manlove, left, earns creepy points because he’s the one who tells earthlings that we don’t need hostile aliens — we can (and likely will) just blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons. Thanks for the tip, dude! Have a nice trip home.

DWc[b[ii 7b_[di “Independence Day” (1996) They’re ugly, they have kickass spaceships and, worst of all, they’re out to kill Will Smith. The part where one of the slimy bug-like life-forms grabs Brent Spiner’s character by the throat, melds with his mind and reveals, through him, that they want us all dead is a nightmare of ventriloquism.

FhWmdi “District 9” (2009) Yes, this is an allegory for apartheid and other forms of scary segregation, but the film also frightens on a visceral level because the aliens are gross. They become less fearsome as you realize that the stupid, hateful humans are the real threat, if less drooly.

Seersucker screams “summer party,” so use napkins (four for $64, Kimseybert.com) made from it at a cookout.
H_Z[ j^[ 8bk[ B_d[i Seersucker sheds its old-school rep with hip new styles and hot new shapes M^[d j^[d#C_ii_ii_ff_ I[d$ Jh[dj Bejj
revived the early 20th-century custom of a summer “Seersucker Thursday” on Capitol Hill in the ’90s, he probably had heat and humidity, not hipster cred, on his mind. After all, the crinkly fabric was popularized by Brits in steamy colonial India. (The stuff even gets its name from those parts, from the Hindustani term “shir o shekar,” which means “milk and honey,” possibly referring to seersucker’s smooth and rough lines.) BUILT TO CHILL “For some people, the appeal of seersucker is purely comfort — it’s so airy and cool,” says Ethan Drath, owner of Sherman Pickey (1647 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 202-333-4212), which stocks pants and shorts in the fabric, like these, $75, by Castaway Nantucket Island.
In D.C., seersucker enjoys a more-classic-than-gin-and-tonics reputation, with everyone from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Lyndon Johnson having sported the fabric over the years. Campaigning for the Senate, the latter donned a stripey suit with cowboy boots; more trad types usually went for bow ties, straw boaters and — whoa, Grandpa! — white bucks. But last June, a new crowd of young artists, social types and history buffs embraced the crisp cotton during the first-ever Washington, D.C., Seersucker Social Bike Ride. The fin de siècle-flavored event saw folks more likely to don Prada than madras suited up in seersucker jackets, straw bowlers, saddle shoes and sundresses for a spirited bike ride between Meridian Hill Park and Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens. “It introduced this very traditional fabric to a crowd that would normally thumb its collective nose at it,” says event founder Eric Channing Brewer, who is spearheading a sequel June 4. “It’s a nice, tailored fabric. It looks cool and classy when it gets hot.” (Tickets, $10; see Dandiesandquaintrelles.com for times and addresses.) Still, slipping into head-to-toe stripes could get you mistaken
Old-fashioned seersucker gets a cool-kid vibe via Emerson Made’s crisply pretty blouse (top, $138, Emersonmade.com), J. Crew’s figure-flattering maillot (above, $84, Jcrew. com) and skinny ties in a range of Easter-egg hues (below, $15 each, Thetiebar.com).
for Tom Wolfe or the ghost of Sen. Robert Byrd. So it’s best to mix the storied textile with mod elements. “Wear a seersucker jacket with jeans,” says Ethan Drath, owner of Georgetown prep trove Sherman Pickey (address at left). “But a whole suit might be a little too Colonel Sanders.” Or “choose seersucker in a new, unexpected shape,” says Emerson Fry, whose Emerson Made line (Emersonmade. com) has a flirty blouse ($138) and a sundress ($218) in the fabric. It’s a good thing that designers old-school and new-wave have turned out a fresh crop of pieces in seersucker. “For me, it conjures up old-fashioned summer parties and a good way of living,” Fry says. “Wear seersucker, and you can’t help but be in a good mood and have a good time.” JENNIFER BARGER (E XPRESS)

<_bc H[l_[m Judge “X-Men: First Class” not on the color of its mutants’ skin but on the content of its characters. In “Kick-Ass” director Matthew Vaughn’s eagerly awaited prequel to the film adaptations of Stan Lee’s iconic comic books, even the strangest-looking genetic outliers take on disarmingly human frailties, quirks and admirable qualities. Charles Xavier, whose benevolent persona was channeled by Patrick Stewart in previous “X-Men” movies, turns out to have been a bit of a Carnaby Street Lothario back in the swingin’ London of the 1960s. Raven, also known as Mystique, was once a teenage girl with skin that tended to break out (albeit in blue scales). And who knew that Magneto — Xavier’s nemesis — could be worthy not just of understand-

ing but of sympathy? Actually, “X-Men” fans probably know all this, and they’re the ones who will be best served by “First Class,” which begins, like the comic book series itself, in 1944. That’s when a young German boy named Erik Lehnsherr watches his parents being hauled off to Auschwitz. Twenty years later, the grown Erik (Michael Fassbender) contemplates his revenge against the man who went on to ruin his life,
Sebastian Shaw. Meanwhile, the genially telepathic Charles (James McAvoy) is earning his doctorate in genetic research at Oxford, with his shape-shifting friend and surrogate sister, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence), by his side. Then what? Things happen, taking “First Class” on a whirlwind tour of Las Vegas, Argentina, Russia, Miami and, finally, the waters just off Cuba where — what do you know? — Shaw turns out to be a shadowy Cold Warrior. With action, atmosphere and mixed feelings to burn, “First Class” seems well on its way to giving the well-traveled “X-Men” franchise a resuscitating breath of genetically superior, nuclear-powered life.

ics era, which the writers use to create a highly fictionalized version of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The ’60s setting is exploited by the set and costume designers — the cleavage-boosting outfits worn by January Jones as Emma Frost, pictured, are the most obvious examples — but they also provide a wistful quality to the mutants as they search for themselves. “A lot of the characters are more innocent,” says James McAvoy, who plays Charles Xavier. (AP)
A few weeks ago I made a stupid error in a story I wrote about superheroes. It was totally my fault (I conflated two characters), and I think I took the ensuing Internet smackdown relatively well. Of course, now I’m a little gun-shy about writing anything having to do with comic books. Take “X-Men: First Class,” which opens today: I have some quibbles, mostly with the script. But I’m reluctant to say that it seems pretty stupid that Emma Frost (January Jones), an exceedingly power8o Ah_ij[d ful telepath, can’t tell FW][#A_hXo that someone is hiding about five feet from her. Maybe there’s also a reason Frost seems unable to telepathically find her pants at some points. I’m also reasonably certain Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender, above), who eventually becomes Magneto, shouldn’t have an Irish accent when he’s angry. But hey, Irish accents are kind of a superpower, at least when it comes to making me want to make out with you. So I’m a little skittish when it comes to comic-book movies now, because one slip can make people discount an author’s entire opinion (something similar happened recently to Roger Ebert in his review of “Thor,” so I’m in good company). Though I enjoyed “X-Men,” I find myself hesitating to point out its problems. Not because I fear the wrath of the Internet, but because the Internet might actually have a point. Comments?

Best”-style authoritarianism of the 1950s, but also of the era’s postwar disaffection, Pitt says Mr. O’Brien “feels quite oppressed by his surroundings and his job, and is quite bitter about it and doesn’t know how to handle it. And in turn he brings that home and puts pressure on his kids. “ T h i s i d e a t h a t Fa t h e r knows best just didn’t sit well in the end,” he adds. “It was more complicated than that.” ANN HORNADAY ( THE WASHINGTON POST )

In “The Tree of Life,” Brad Pitt, 47, plays Mr. O’Brien, a strict, by-thebook father to three boys who grow up equally oppressed by his fiery temper and in awe of his godlike moral power. Embodying Mr. O’Brien brought home powerful truths about parenting for Pitt. “Actions speak louder than words,” he says, “and it’s no more true than with your kids.

“The Tree of Life” is both good and bad, great and fatally flawed, transporting and disappointingly literal. The sprawling story of a man’s quest to reconcile a contradictory parental legacy, “The Tree of Life” ties that search to more metaphysical questions having to do with God, creation, truth and beauty. Amazingly, director Terrence Malick makes these connections work, pungently evoking both suburban life in 1950s mid-America and the explosive beginnings of the universe with equal vividness and power. There are several reasons to see “The Tree of Life,” not the least of which is Brad Pitt. As Mr. O’Brien, Pitt plays the patriarch of the 1950s family that lives in a leafy Texas suburb. A hard-jawed, embittered martinet, Mr. O’Brien brings up his three boys with a toxic combination of intimidation and command-

ing affection — mixed messages brought into even sharper relief by the healing, gentle presence of Mrs. O’Brien (Jessica Chastain). Sea n Penn plays t he oldest O’Brien son as an adult, who announces the cardinal theme of “The Tree of Life” early: “There are two ways through life, the way of nature and the way of grace.” By the film’s climactic sequence, Malick brings things full circle, which gratifyingly returns the audience to the most potent ideas and emotions of “The Tree of Life.” That’s when it becomes clear that they haven’t watched a movie as much as come under a dizzy ingly seductive spell.

The buzzing current responsible for the light illuminating your newspaper or glowing computer screen may have come from the Appalachian Mountains. And just how is that coal extracted? The eye-opening documentary “The Last Mountain” has the answer, and it isn’t pretty. The title refers to Coal River Mountain, a peak that has become a

Massey wants to eviscerate the mountain in order to get to the valuable layers of coal; the other side would prefer to keep the land in tact. Filmmaker Bill Haney effectively paints a picture of destruction on both an environmental and a human level, but it’s the stories from the miners, who constantly fear for their lives, that are most affecting.

7 ÉH[lebkj_edÊ ?d <hW]c[dji A new documentary about feminist art lacks cohesiveness <_bc H[l_[m Early in the documentary “!Women Art Revolution,” an interviewee argues that feminist art, which revelled in its own messiness, emerged as the antithesis to minimalism. This snippet is invaluable to appreciating a film that feels stubbornly disjointed — a string of topic- and decade-spanning interviews that shoot in divergent vectors from the subject at hand. Lynn Hershman Leeson, an artist herself and part of that movement, directs and intermittently narrates this fractured set of conversations that she conducted over the course of 40 years and that recount the struggles of female artists in a male-dominated world. Her subjects include the brassy Judy Chicago, whose “Dinner Party” piece created an uproar, thanks to its numerous depictions of female anatomy; Marcia Tucker, who responded to being fired from the Whitney Muse-

um by founding Manhattan’s New Museum; and the Guerrilla Girls, who objected to art museums’ insistence on showing only work by white men, with clever hijinx while wearing gorilla masks. These were heady times. But while some of the interviews convey fascinating tales, others don’t shed much light on this epic battle. Part of the problem may be that the director knows her subjects and their histories too well. But we weren’t all there watching the struggle take place, and a more clearly stated thesis could have gone a long way. S T E P H A N I E M E R RY ( T H E WA S H I N G T O N POST )

<_bc H[l_[m A capitalist epic from a land that was soon to go communist, “Empire of Silver” follows the travails of a Shanxi banking dynasty in the early 20th century. The movie is occasionally muddled and always melodramatic, yet it’s pictorially compelling, thanks to dramatic locations and exacting art direction. The tale is set mostly in China’s mountainous north and arid west, and begins with a camel train in the desert. The country has no central bank or paper currency, so commerce is largely financed by the Kangs, who are experts in the trade and transportation of silver. The patriarch, iron-willed Lord Kang (Zhang Tielin), thinks he has guaranteed his succession by having four sons. But after mishaps sideline three of the boys, Kang must turn to his least businesslike offspring, known simply as Third Master (Aaron Kwok).
Third Master had withdrawn from the family business after his father married Third Master’s true love (Hao Lei). Madame Kang still pines for Third Master, and her marriage to his father is one of several plot points that aren’t adequately explained. A troubled undertaking, “Empire of Silver” might not have been released in the U.S. if not for the small portion of dialogue in English.

FbWo_d] THE BEAVER (PG-13, 91 minutes) In a triumph of cinema over celebrity gossip, “The Beaver” simply draws us into the story that Mel Gibson and director Jodie Foster want to tell. That story begins with Walter (Gibson), a man living apart from his spouse and two sons, sleepwalking through his job and self-medicating. He tries to commit suicide twice, and he can’t even pull that off. He awakens after both attempts with a furry, beady-eyed beaver puppet attached to his hand. Suddenly, Walter is talking to himself using the beaver as his proxy. He tells Walter to get up and pull himself together. And that’s precisely what the man does, returning

JEN CHANEY BRIDESMAIDS (R, 125 minutes) Kristen
Wiig plants a bawdy, brave and brashly feminist flag in the male-dominated raunch-com genre with “Bridesmaids.” Wiig plays Annie, a would-be cupcake entrepreneur whose business has taken it in the ganache with the economic downturn and whose love life consists of impromptu booty calls from her loathsomely narcissistic sex-buddy, Ted (Jon Hamm). When Annie learns that her lifelong best friend, Lillian, is engaged — and that Annie is to be the maid of honor — the new reality sends her into a tailspin of envy, grief and self-loathing. But when it turns out that Lillian’s bridal party will also include the rich, thin, impossibly appropriate Helen Harris III (Rose Byrne), Annie’s insecurities metastasize into a florid case of overpowering Id.

Orchard” is a play about a real estate auction. Both statements are true, but they tell only half the story. “Everything Must Go” has been described, somewhat tentatively, as a “dramedy.” But despite a trailer that makes it look like a yuk-fest, the laughs are few and far between. Here, Raymond Carver brings us the tale of an alcoholic named Nick Halsey (Will Ferrell) who, in the space of 24 hours, loses his job, his wife, his house, his bank account and his bearings. There’s a certain desperate absurdity to that, along with a lot of pain. But comic it ain’t. M.O. FAST FIVE (PG-13, 130 minutes) The “Fast” series has followed the dangerous exploits of monotone street racer Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker), the ex-cop who gradually became Dom’s high-flying partner in crime. The duo’s latest impossible mission takes place in and around Rio de Janeiro’s congested favelas, where Toretto’s crew uses vital information stored on a stolen microchip to rob a sadistic drug kingpin (oily Joaquim de Almeida), all while avoiding Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), the road-raging federal bounty hunter ordered to bring these fugitives to justice.

Hanna has activated some kind of electronic homing beacon that tells the

Captain Jack (Johnny Depp) sails again in “Pirates” sequel “On Stranger Tides.” movie’s bad girl, Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett), just where to find them. In short order, “Hanna” turns into a classic popcorn movie, subclassification: chase flick. Eat with one hand, because you’ll need the other to hang onto your seat, as the film lunges from Finland to Morocco to Spain to Germany, where Erik and his daughter have agreed to rendezvous. M.O. HESHER (R, 102 minutes) Bad role models sometimes make the most interesting movie characters. The ill-mannered, unkempt, foulmouthed and hot-tempered title character of “Hesher” is just such a walking contradiction. The long-haired, tattooed loner (played by Joseph GordonLevitt) is not the focal point of the film. Rather, it’s T. J. Forney (Devin Brochu), a grieving middle-schooler who has lost his
mother in a car accident. When the film opens, T.J. is pretty much on his own, with his father, Paul (Rainn Wilson), stuck in a stupor of prescription medication and self-pity, and his grandmother Madeleine lost in a fog of incipient dementia. When we first meet Hesher, he’s living in an abandoned building. After T.J. throws a rock through his window — inadvertently bringing the attention of the police — Hesher must find a new home. Soon he’s set up camp in the Forneys’ garage. M.O. THE HANGOVER: PART II (R, 102 minutes) A veritable textbook case of what not to do when re-making a comedy that depended on sheer surprise for most of its appeal, “The Hangover Part II” also inadvertently points out the weaknesses of the first movie. In “Part II,” director Todd Phillips follows the first movie beat-for-beat, switching a character and location here and there but never straying far from the original template. The movie opens with Bradley Cooper’s Phil — scruffy, sweaty, red-eyed — dolefully calling Tracy, the impending bride from the first movie, to tell her that, once again, “We [screwed] up.” By “we,” of course, he means Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Stu (Ed Helms), who is about to be married in Thailand. Once the posse lands in Thailand, “just one beer” two nights before the wedding turns into a similar bender, with the three principals awaking in a Bangkok hotel room with a monkey in a Rolling Stones vest and no memory of how they got there.

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN (Unrated, 86 minutes) “Hobo” breathes new life into the demented realm of grindhouse cinema — a world that had grown pretty stale to this point. Rutger Hauer plays the title role of the hobo, a down-on-his-luck loner who rides the rails into Hope Town and finds a stark reality that’s beyond bleak. Among the degenerates the hobo encounters roaming the streets are a pedophile in a Santa suit who kidnaps children and a sleazy mongrel who pays homeless men $10 so he can torture them on camera. When Hauer’s hobo finds himself caught in the middle of a pawn shop robbery, our “hero” plunks his last few dollars on the weapon of the title so he can clean up this filthy town — or, in reality, make it more grimy with the blood of the criminals he blows away. S.O. KUNG FU PANDA 2 (PG, 92 minutes) In the satisfying, if less than sensational,
sequel to the funny, charming and actionpacked animated feature from 2008, Po the panda (voice of Jack Black) returns in pursuit of inner peace, the defeat of a murderous peacock (Gary Oldman) and the truth about what happened to his real parents. What? You didn’t actually think that Mr. Ping (James Hong), the noodlemaking Chinese goose from the first movie who raised Po as his son, was actually our hero’s biological father, did you? The new movie puts that question to rest. It’s both a story about Po’s search for his origins and a reckoning with the bad guy responsible for Po’s identity crisis. M.O. MEEK’S CUTOFF (PG, 104 minutes) On the Oregon Trail in 1845, a group of settlers crosses a swollen creek, carefully leading oxen and slowly hand-carrying their belongings to the other side. The action is wordless, grim and carried out with uncomplaining stoicism. The immigrants, three families, are led by Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood), a guide who has assured them that he knows of a shortcut through the Cascade Mountains. Meek’s a brash big-talker, but a trip that

he assured them would take two weeks has now lengthened into five. Keeping their own counsel are Emily and Solomon Tetherow (Michelle Williams, and Will Patton), a middle-aged couple with few illusions about what awaits them or whether they’ll even get there. A.H. MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (PG-13, 94 minutes) From its rapturous opening sequence, “Midnight in Paris” announces that Woody Allen has returned to at least one of his most beloved forms. “Midnight in Paris” finds Allen in a larky, slightly tart and altogether bountiful mood. Owen Wilson plays Gil, a screenwriter and would-be serious author who’s visiting Paris with his fiancee, Inez (Rachel McAdams), and her parents. Gil is besotted with the Paris of the 1920s, when his heroes F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway traded dry martinis and even drier barbs with the likes of Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso. Inez and her family, on the other hand, couldn’t care less. The mood is doubly spoiled when they bump into Paul (Michael Sheen), an old college crush of Inez’s, now an incorrigible pedant. A.H. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES (PG-13, 128 minutes) “On Stranger Tides” feels as fresh and bracingly exhilarating as the day Jack Sparrow first swashed his buckle, infusing new reckless energy into a franchise that shows no signs of furling its sails. Anchored by playful androgynous Johnny Depp as the ever-cheeky Captain Jack, “On Stranger Tides” marks the return of stock “Pirates” players Geoffrey Rush (as Hector Barbossa) and Kevin R. McNally as friend and confederate Joshamee Gibbs. And it welcomes two new characters to the fold who slip into its fanciful, sometimes gently ribald world with uncanny ease: Ian McShane delivers a ruthless turn as the notorious Blackbeard. And Penelope Cruz delivers an appropriately smoldering turn as a mysterious pirate named Angelica, whose storied past with Jack becomes clear in a few neat expository strokes. A.H. POM WONDERFUL PRESENTS: THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER SOLD (PG-13, 88 minutes) This advertising-themed documentary is food for thought that’s fun to eat. If that last sentence sounds like an ad slogan, it’s not surprising. It’s hard to come out of “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” without a heightened sensitivity to the art of hyping, flacking and product placement. Morgan Spurlock resolved to make a movie about
Zoe Kazan and Michelle Williams travel the Oregon Trail in “Meek’s Cutoff.” advertising that was entirely financed by advertising. He approached about 600 companies, 20 of which agreed to cover the film budget in return for promotional consideration. Spurlock succeeds at a risky game in which he offers up a critique of commercial co-opting by allowing himself to be commercially co-opted. M.O. SOMETHING BORROWED (PG-13, 103 minutes) This sporadically comedic romantic drama focuses on Rachel White (Ginnifer Goodwin), a successful lawyer who offers herself up as the world’s doormat. Unattached and having just turned 30, Rachel is feeling forlorn, which is compounded by the fact that her best friend, Darcy (Kate Hudson), is marrying Rachel’s
law school crush. After a few drinks, Rachel tells Darcy’s fiance, Dexter, about her longstanding infatuation. Before you know it, the two are in bed and Rachel, who has always been a model best friend, is suddenly the Other Woman. STEPHANIE MERRY THOR (PG-13, 115 minutes) ”Thor” divides the world neatly into two camps. On one side are those who will recognize the names Volstagg, Hogun, Fandral and Sif as Thor’s homeboys and homegirl from Asgard. In the film, Lady Sif and the Warriors Three, as they’re known, follow their exiled and now largely powerless friend from Asgard to Earth, where Thor must learn the lesson of humility before he can again pick up his mighty hammer, called Mjolnir — or, as astrophysicist Darcy calls it, sarcastically, “myeh-nyeh” — and return home to defeat his usurping brother, Loki. On the other side are those for whom this whole thing sounds like just a bunch of myeh-nyeh. Even the bad guys wreaking havoc back in Asgard, called Frost Giants, seem more of a threat to frozen peas than to the future of the nine realms. “Thor” isn’t for everyone. But its silly summer sensibility might just convert one or two more open-minded members of the myeh-nyeh crowd. M.O.

Old Wave Music Surf rock is generally the province of the young — it’s easier to take the van to the shore every day when you don’t have a job or a mortgage — and the Barracudas were the angry ’80s Beach Boys when they got started 30 years ago. They’re still touring, and they’ll roll in at Comet Ping Pong Saturday with their punk surfer sound. They’ll be backed up by the Beach Bloods and Barreracudas. Comet Ping Pong, 5037 Connecticut Ave. NW; Sat., 10:30 p.m., $10; 202-364-0404, Cometpingpong.com. (Van Ness)
Forget Taylor Swift’s weird, reductive brand of feminism. If you want to empower little girls, teach them how to play electric guitar. Girls Rock! DC is music boot camp for little rabble-rousers, and this weekend they’ll recruit new (and very short) Joan Jetts and Marnie Sterns at Sound Check. They’ll screen a documentary about the program; let girls try out instruments and microphones; and offer sign-ups for the summer session of camp. 2217 14th St. NW; Sun., 1 p.m., free; 202-681-7625, Girlsrockdc. org.

H[Wb_jo The documentary series “Whale Wars” (Animal Planet) enters its fourth season with the captain and crew of the Sea Shepherd smelling victory. Or maybe not. Their prey, the Japanese Whale processing ship the Nisshin Maru, returned to its home port in mid-February. But was this a victory in the war to end whaling, or merely the end of one battle? Not to give too much away here, but how can you have a fourth season of “Whale Wars” without an ongoing war? What are they going to do? Declare “whale peace”? The hardware engaged, and destroyed, on this series has escalated with each passing season. This year, the activists will unveil their new small vessel, the Gojira. The reasons for the success of <H?

A Sea Shepherd crew member sees the Japanese whaling ship the Nisshin Maru.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are close to solving a personal mystery, but without the information another carries, you can only get so far. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep your priorities straight and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to anticipate the results of your actions with remarkable accuracy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Make sure that you are prepared to receive what is on its way to you right now. This will take more than routine readiness when all is said and done. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may be surprised to learn that you have been chosen for a singular honor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and when the time comes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll receive a lot of attention. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are expecting things to be calm and uneventful, but in case you are mistaken, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to come to the party fully prepared.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be walking into a situation you cannot control yourself, but, fortunately, someone who can accompanies you.
<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. 7-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.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Before the day is out, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know whether you will be able to keep a recent promise or not. If not, you must be ready to make amends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Leave a plan up to someone who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to making plans and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to have a difficult time. Rely on an expert.
9ec_Yi
ARIES (March 21-April 19) The decisions you make are not likely to affect you as deeply as you expect, but you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them too lightly, surely. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Being ready does not mean doing so much that you are unable to be flexible if the situation requires it of you. Mobility may be the key.

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.
