The Microbes Among Us Scientists map out where health-promoting fungi, bacteria live on our bodies

M^Wj :e J^[o :e5

They live on your skin, up your nose, in your gut — enough bacteria, fungi and other microbes that collected together could weigh, amazingly, a few pounds.

Now scientists have mapped just which critters normally live in or on us and where, calculating that healthy people can share their bodies with more than 10,000 species of microbes.

Don’t say “eeew” just yet. Many of these organisms work to keep humans healthy, and results reported Wednesday from the government’s Human Microbiome Project define what’s normal in this mysterious netherworld.

One surprise: It turns out that nearly everybody harbors low levels of some harmful types of bacteria, pathogens that are known for causing specific infections.

But when a person is healthy — like the 242 U.S. adults who volunteered to be tested — those bugs simply quietly coexist with benign or helpful microbes, perhaps kept in check by them.

((A The number of genes in the human body. But the microbes add to our bodies the power of many, many more — about 8 million genes, the new project estimated.

Scientists have long known that the human body coexists with trillions of individual germs, what they call the microbiome. Until now, they’ve mostly studied those that cause disease. But no one knew all the types of microbes that live in healthy people or where and what they do. Some 200 scientists from nearly 80 research institutions worked together for five years on this first-ever census to begin answering those questions by unraveling the DNA of these microbes. (AP)

The next step is to explore what doctors really want to know: Why do the bad bugs harm some people and not others?

What changes a person’s microbial zoo that puts them at risk for diseases ranging from infections to irritable bowel syndrome to psoriasis?

Already the findings are reshaping scientists’ views of how people stay healthy, or not. The results were published Wednesday in the journals Nature and the

“This is a whole new way of looking at human biology and human disease, and it’s awe-inspiring,” said Dr. Phillip Tarr of Washington University at St. Louis, one of the lead researchers in the $173 million project.

There are about 22,000 human genes.

But the microbes add to our bodies the power of many, many more — about 8 million genes, the new project estimated.

With this first snapshot of what normal looks like, studies now are under way to see how the microbes differ in people with certain diseases, in hopes of learning how to prevent or treat the illnesses.

One, a foster child, said he was threatened, warned he would never see his family again if he ever told anyone what happened. Another said he stayed quiet because he didn’t want to stop getting tickets to the hottest game in town — Penn State football.

That was how two of Jerry Sandusky’s alleged victims explained the former Penn State assistant coach’s hold over them.

“He told me that if I ever told anyone that I’d never see my family again,” the former foster child testified Wednesday on Day 3 of Sandusky’s child sexual abuse trial.

He said Sandusky uttered the threat after the coach pinned him while wrestling in the basement of the Sandusky home and performed

Three of Sandusky’s accusers testified Wednesday, bringing to five the number of alleged victims to take the stand.

Tom Kline, the lawyer for one of them, told reporters outside the courthouse: “It’s just remarkable how many children one man can shower with.”

Another boy, dubbed “Victim 8,” has never been located and his identity is a mystery to prosecutors, but jurors heard about his alleged sexual abuse by San-

Sandusky, 68, is charged with sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period — accusations he has denied. His arrest last fall rocked Penn State and led to the firing of football coach Joe Paterno for not taking stronger action against Sandusky a decade ago.

Tuesday, an angry crowd hurled rocks and sticks at the observers’ vehicles as they approached the area, forcing them to turn back. The observers were not hurt. Sausan Ghosheh, a spokeswoman for the observers, said they have been trying to reach Haffa since June 7.

Hundreds of rebel fighters were believed to have been holed up there and pulled out overnight after intense fighting in Haffa and nearby villages.

Poll: China Seen as Top Economy Perception of U.S. slips worldwide after â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08 financial crisis 8[_`_d] For the first time, a global survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found that more people view China â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading economic power.

The perception does not reďŹ&#x201A;ect reality, however: Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy remains well ahead of its closest rival. But it does highlight Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steadily rising public image amid rapid growth, as well as the erosion of the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; status as the global superpower, especially after the 2008 ďŹ nancial crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the last few years, perceptions about the global economic balance of power have been shifting,â&#x20AC;?

The new name is already showing up on Metro’s site, and signs at the station and throughout the system have also been updated.

The name change was adopted last year by Metro’s board of directors, transforming a station known to most as the “New York Avenue” stop to the official station of NoMa: the neighborhood near Union Station, which takes its name from being north of Massachusetts Avenue. The stop will still have “New York Avenue” listed as a secondary name for a year.

Mendelson to Lead D.C. Council Interim chairman gets overwhelming vote to replace Brown MWi^_d]jed D.C. Council members selected Phil Mendelson on Wednesday to be interim chairman, opting for a low-key replacement to Kwame R. Brown, who resigned last week before pleading guilty to bank fraud.

Mendelson, 59, becomes only the second white chairman under the Home Rule that established the 13-member council and an elected mayor. As interim chairman,

the Democrat will set the council agenda and try to manage what can often be an unruly group.

Mendelson’s role takes on an even greater importance amid the continued federal investigation into Mayor Vincent C. Gray’s 2010 campaign. Over the past month, two former Gray campaign staffers have pleaded guilty and pledged to cooperate as investigators continue their examination of how the mayor spent and raised money during his successful campaign against then-Mayor Adrian M. Fenty, a Democrat.

But Mendelson serves as interim chairman until November, when voters will select a permanent

‘Running Scared’

9Wi^_d] ?d Some Democrats hope the deepening concern among some party faithful could lead to an increase in fundraising.

This time, President Obama does not have the 2-1 edge in money that he had over John McCain in 2008 — the mighty Obama and DNC fundraising operation fell behind Mitt Romney and Republicans in May, with the GOP team raising $76 million compared to the $60 million haul for the president and Democrats.

And Romney’s figures keep growing: On Wednesday, casino mogul and billionaire Sheldon Adelson gave a $10 million infusion to a group backing Romney’s cause. (AP)

Interviews with a dozen Democratic strategists and fundraisers across the country show an increased sense of urgency among Obama backers. It follows a difficult two weeks for the president, including a dismal report on the nation’s unemployment picture, a Democratic defeat in the Wisconsin governor recall election and an impressive fundraising month for Romney and Republicans.

“We’ve all got to get in the same boat and start paddling in the same direction, or we’re going to have some problems,” said Debbie Dingell, a Democratic National Commit-

CHARLES DHARAPA/AP

In growing numbers, once-confident Democrats now say President Obama could lose the November election.

The hand-wringing reflects real worries among Democrats about Obama’s ability to beat Republican rival Mitt Romney, who has proved to be a stronger candidate than many expected. But it’s also a political strategy aimed at rallying major donors who may have become complacent.

Five months from the general election, President Obama is struggling to rally donors to his cause. A dismal report on the nation’s unemployment picture, fueling voter frustrations, has also contributed to a sense of urgency for his campaign.

tee member and the wife of Michigan Rep. John Dingell.

“We can’t take this for granted,” said Peter Burling, a DNC member from New Hampshire. “I intend to be running scared from now until November.”

These worries have also prompted some second-guessing of an Obama campaign operation once perceived as run by disciplined message specialists.

Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg and former Clinton advis-

er James Carville this week wrote that Obama’s efforts to convince voters that economic conditions are moving in the right direction aren’t swaying people.

The Obama campaign itself has also been sounding the alarm.

“If there’s anyone still out there acting like we have this thing in the bag, do me a favor and tell them they’re dead wrong,” Anne Marie Habershaw, the campaign’s chief operating officer, wrote in a blog post last week.

Democratic operatives say the long and combative Republican primary left some in their own party overconfident. Obama supporters expected Romney to emerge from the GOP contest bruised by attacks from his party and pigeonholed by his attempts to placate conservatives by shifting to the right on everything from immigration to foreign policy.

But five months from Election Day, several national polls show Obama and Romney locked in

Hecd[oÊi 7Z 8b_jp Mitt Romney’s campaign is spending $3.3 million to run television ads this week in seven general election battleground states, its largest ad buy since becoming the allbut-certain GOP challenger to President Obama.

a tight race, as voters vent their frustrations over the nation’s economic woes. May figures showed that employers created a meager 69,000 jobs and the jobless rate ticked up to 8.2 percent. And this week, the Federal Reserve released data showing that median family net worth shrank in 2010 to levels not seen since 1992 after adjusting for inflation.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said the president’s team “always anticipated this would be a close and competitive election.”

But some strategists worry that time is running short. While many Democrats believe party loyalists will get more engaged as the election draws closer, other operatives say the terms of the election will be set over the next two months.

Don Peebles, a New York-based real estate developer and Obama fundraiser, said that while Democratic complacency has been hard to shake this cycle, he expects more urgency this summer.

“There’s definitely a sense among the financial supporters of the president that we need to get more engaged and redouble our efforts to make sure that he has the resources he needs,” Peebles said.

Tremendous Threesome

Bubba Watson joins Woods, Mickelson at U.S. Open Thursday

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson often bring out the best in each other’s games. Just don’t expect any friendly conversations when golf’s greatest running rivalry resumes at the U.S. Open.

Luckily, there’s a guy in their group with a pink driver and a green jacket to lighten the mood.

Woods and Mickelson will play with Masters champion Bubba Watson for the first two rounds beginning Thursday at the Olympic Club.

It will be the first time Woods and Mickelson have been paired in the championship since Torrey Pines in 2008, when the USGA grouped players off the world ranking.

In t y pical fashion, Woods brushed off any notion that his playing partners will affect how he plays.

Mickelson, meanwhile, couldn’t stop gushing just thinking about all those giddy fans and camera clicks that will surround the ninth hole when he, Watson and the 14-time major champion tee off just after dawn.

Leave it to one of golf’s grandest stages to bring such contrasting personalities together.

“It’s fabulous,” Mickelson said.

“First of all, I get excited to play with Tiger, I love it. I think we all do. He gets the best out of me. I think when it’s time to tee off on Thursday I’ll be ready to play.”

And Woods?

“I don’t think we’re going to talk about a lot,” he said. “This is a major championship. We’ve got work to do. Any extra motivation?

No. I’m just trying to get out there and position myself for Sunday.”

And so the chase begins.

Mickelson has been on the wrong side of history at this tournament.

A record five-time runner-up for the national championship, Mickelson has had more painful, exhausting — and perhaps embarrassing — moments taking on “golf’s toughest test” than maybe any player with his résumé.

Chief among them: Mickelson entered the 18th at Winged Foot in 2006 with a one-shot lead.

After a tee shot into the merchandise tents left him a decent lie, he tried to carve a 3-iron around the tree, didn’t pull it off and made double bogey to finish one shot behind.

“W hat a n idiot I a m,” he famously said afterward.

Watson enters the group as perhaps the most overlooked Masters champion at the U.S. Open in recent history. The shot-shaping master, not an immediate fan of Olympic Club’s tree-lined fairways and tiny greens, will have a front-row look when all the action begins — and he’s more than excited about the pressure not being on him.

Together, his playing partners have 113 PGA Tour victories and 18 majors.

“It’s going to be like Sunday at the Masters,” Watson said. “Huge galleries ... two legends.”

Armstrong is banned from competing in triathlons due to the USADA charges.

In the 15-page charging letter obtained by The Post, USADA made previously unpublicized allegations against Armstrong, alleging it collected blood samples from

Armstrong in 2009 and 2010 that were “fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions.” Armstrong has never tested positive.

In February, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles ended a nearly two-year investigation into doping allegations involving Armstrong without bringing criminal charges.

USADA is the quasi-government agency that oversees anti-doping in Olympic sports in the United States.

It is empowered to bring charges that could lead to suspension from competition and the rescinding of awards. It does not have authority to bring criminal charges.

Germany’s Mario Gomez scores his first goal of 2 against Holland Wednesday.

None Dead Yet in Euro 2012 Group Of Death ;khe (&'( Mario Gomez scored two first-half goals Wednesday to give Germany a 2-1 win over the Netherlands in one of the most anticipated showdowns of the European Championship.

Robin van Persie pulled one back for the Netherlands in the second half but the defeat left the 2010 World Cup runner-up on the brink of elimination.

“Early on we had decent chances, but the German goals came out of nowhere,” Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk said. “We defended badly. Our offense and defense did not connect.”

Germany has six points from two wins but is still not sure of advancing from Group B, where three teams could end up with six points. Earlier, Portugal beat Denmark 3-2.

Portugal’s early two-goal lead was canceled out by two headers from Nicklas Bendtner for the Danes, before substitute Silvestre Varela struck a late winner. Cristiano Ronaldo had another disappointing game on the international stage, as the Portuguese star squandered two excellent secondhalf chances. (AP)

Barbara Cook Presents ... Herself

Guitar Hero When people think of Bonnie Raitt, her more-mainstream ’90s hits are often the first things that come to mind. (The sexy, mildly bossy strains of “Something to Talk About” were a huge girls’-night-out staple in those years, along with boxed wine and scrunchies.) But Raitt, whose new album, “Slipstream,” is a big hit with fans and critics, has been putting out classics that go beyond country and radiorock for more than 40 years. Pier Six Pavilion, 731 Eastern Ave., Baltimore; with Mavis Staples, Sun., 7:30 p.m., $30-$75; 410-783-4189, Piersixpavilion.com.

Theater Noir Round House just loves to adapt books and movies for the stage, but “Double Indemnity” seems a little dark for its taste. The play, based on Billy Wilder’s 1944 flick (one of the most famous film noirs ever shot), tells the story of an insurance agent, a femme fatale and murder. Always murder. Round House Theatre, 4545 East-West Hwy., Bethesda; through June 24, $26-$61; 240-644-1100, Roundhousetheatre.org. (Bethesda)

Broadway legend Barbara Cook is best known at the Kennedy Center for her Spotlight series, where she chooses exceptional Broadway voices and brings them to D.C. to give concerts. To close out this year’s series, Cook herself (who was feted at the Kennedy Center Honors last year) will perform her greatest hits.

‘HEART’ OF A MOVEMENT

Wolfe, who also led the Broadway production), says that doesn’t reduce its radical impact.

“There’s a little bit of distance,” she says. “For audiences seeing this play originally, it was so raw and so difficult, being in the midst of it all. I think people now … can view it with all the strength and rage that it was written with, but with a different understanding. I think it’s been acknowledged more as a beautiful play, a beautiful love story.”

“The Normal Heart” is a kind of love story: It’s about compassion and loyalty. But it is also a story of grief and injustice. Hero Ned Weeks (a thinly veiled version of Kramer himself, played by Patrick Breen) is part of a close-knit group of friends,

A new production of a radical play gives early AIDS activists their due

IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS GRID. It was the

early 1980s, and gay men were dying from a disease that doctors had labeled Gay-Related Immune Deficiency. No one understood much more about it — or the scope of the encroaching worldwide health crisis that we would soon call AIDS. Larry Kramer knew his best friends were dying.

He knew there was a lot of fear and few resources to help them. He knew he was angry.

Kramer, a gay New York writer who had been chronicling gay life in America since the 1970s, was never one to stand on the sidelines. In 1982, he co-founded the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, which helped “NOW WHEN YOU WATCH IT, IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE HISTORY, IT’S MORE THAN THAT. IT’S A CATHARTIC EXPERIENCE. IT’S AN IMPORTANT PIECE.

bring medical assistance and support to people with AIDS. He later also founded the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, or ACT UP, which staged dramatic protests to draw attention to the need for support and prevention services.

But Kramer’s writing remained some of his most potent activism, including his 1985 play, “The Normal Heart,” which dramatized the early efforts of GMHC and ACT UP. When “The Normal Heart” premiered at New York’s Public Theater in 1985, it told a story most people had never heard before: of gay men struggling to maintain a community even as a plague decimated their circle of loved ones and a nation turned its back on the victims out of fear.

Today, the experiences of the gay community in the early years of AIDS have become woven into America’s history. And Kramer’s play has found a much wider audience: It’s been revived several

many of whom begin to come down with a mysterious, incurable virus. In their efforts to find care, they meet barrier after barrier of discrimination and resistance.

Their only institutional ally is Dr. Emma Brookner (Patricia Wettig), a wheelchair-bound dynamo who fights continuously for funding and recognition to research the disease that’s killing her patients.

“It’s almost as if the piece has found its time now,” says Wettig.

“When it was done originally, maybe it was just too close. There was no distance from AIDS and the virus.” She says it’s hard for her to get through the play, even in rehearsal, without having a deep emotional reaction.

“Now when you watch it, it’s not just about the history, it’s more than that. It’s a cathartic experience,” she says. “It’s an important piece. There’s a scale to it that is operatic.”

play was a passionate demand for visibility for those affected by AIDS. In the years since, social awareness and acceptance of gays and all people living with AIDS have increased significantly. Education, resources and medical advancements have changed what AIDS means to a new generation — which we owe to the efforts of activists such as Kramer. “Because there are drugs, because people can live with AIDS, I think it’s even more important for a younger generation to understand the impact of this event,” Roth says.

She notes that young actors who perform in benefits for organizations like Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS don’t always understand exactly why those organizations were formed — until they see “The Normal Heart.”

“It’s speaking to a younger generation not only to enlighten and educate, but to let them know what passion and what tenacity and what challenges the characters in

J_c HoWd You couldn’t blame Tim Ryan if he were a little stressed. The Democratic congressman from Ohio has plenty on his plate, serving on the House Armed Services Committee (and its Emerging Threats and Capabilities and Readiness subcommittee) and the House Budget Committee. But Ryan seems pretty relaxed, and he credits mindfulness, a meditation technique he promotes in his book, “A Mindful Nation.” He’ll discuss the technique, joined by dharma teacher Tara Brach, at Buddhafest this weekend.

Is it tough to find time to meditate, given your job?

I think it’s difficult for everybody today, whether you’re a factory worker, teacher, nurse, doctor, lobbyist. It’s tough to be a human being today in America.

There’s a lot of anger going around Capitol Hill. Does that interfere with mindfulness?

You don’t deny the range of experiences you have as a human being. But what you do try to develop is an awareness of “OK, here comes some anger. Now, because I’m a little bit more aware of it, what am I going to do with it?”

Like strangle someone?

You learn to understand why you want to strangle that person. Is it really that you want to strangle this person, or is it a series of things that happened, and they’re at the end of the line and they’re the one that’s going to get strangled? You learn enough to be aware of when you’re just having a bad day. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (E XPRES S)

“Beauty and the Beast” conductor Carolyn Violi, below, says she identifies with Belle, left, the heroine of the play.

Ikf[hYedZkYjeh Carolyn Violi keeps the music flowing for Disney’s touring production of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ IjW][ Carolyn Violi does the impossible. As the conductor for Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” now playing at the National Theatre, she makes sure that the dozens of musicians below her match up with the dozens of actors above her, all while remaining as invisible as possible to the audience. It’s like herding cats, but here the cats are all playing instruments or dancing around at the same time.

Violi, a former music teacher, hooked up with “Beauty and the Beast” in 1999 and has been with the show off and on since, first as a keyboard player, then I7JKH:7O

Ifejb_]^j Every occupation has its hazards, and Carolyn Violi’s is more earworm-y than most. “The music is constantly in my head,” she says. “I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night in the middle of a dance section and my foot will tap. I’ve actually gone online to find out what kind of disease I have.”

working her way up to conductor. She’s been with the show so long that she’s outlasted many actors — and has to make changes whenever a new person comes into a role.

“There are some things that the creative team is very specific about — how this song is to be delivered, or how this scene is supposed to move and flow — but there is a breadth of creativity that’s really nice,” she says. “[Different actors] make different acting choices and different musical choices. In our production, they really do allow the actresses playing Belle to be strong individuals in their mannerisms and the way they deliver their lines. I try to tailor the underscoring and the songs to how each Belle delivers the piece of music.”

That flexibility is a necessity when it comes to musical theater, in a way that differentiates it from, say, conducting a symphony. “In classical music, if you’re doing Mozart or Beethoven, there’s a strict tempo. But in musical theater, sometimes the tempos will fluctuate a bit for breathing and acting. But for me, conducting is conducting, and all music tells a story. You’re still telling a story if you’re doing Beethoven or Mozart or Rachmaninoff.”

“Beauty and the Beast,” based on the 1991 animated Disney film of the traditional fairy tale, ran on Broadway until 2007 and now tours all over.

The show has one of Disney’s strongest female characters in Belle, a quick-witted, bookish girl who makes her way in a world largely dominated by man (and Beast). Violi knows what that’s like; female conductors at any level are a rarity. “There aren’t too many of us,” she says. “I know some of the females that I’ve seen on Broadway are phenomenal. I don’t know why there aren’t more of us. It would be nice to have that change.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (E XPRESS) National Theatre, 1321 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; through June 24, $56.50$116.50; 202-628-6161, Nationaltheatre. org. (Metro Center)

The first time she walked into the Punch Line, a comedy club in her hometown of San Francisco, Wong knew she was on to something.

“They were doing a roast for this local comedian who was leaving, and I realized this was a fraternity I wanted to be a part of,” she says. “They were

doing these super-mean, personal jokes about each other, really undercutting, and I loved it. I was like, ‘I want to be part of this club so bad.’ It was the first time I ever felt that way. I had finally found my tribe.”

She started performing at open mics and quickly developed a reputation as a “raunchy” comedian, a distinction she says she begrudgingly accepts.

“I guess that’s just who I naturally am,” she says. “Of course I’m a dirty comic. I definitely fell into it because that’s what’s naturally funny to me.

Poo-poo. Pee-pee. Penis. Vagina. Ever since I was a kid, [those words were] hilarious.”

Without having released an album or stand-up special, Wong has parlayed her comedy into acting jobs.

She did a guest spot on the Fox sitcom “Breaking In” and was a regular on the recently canceled NBC sitcom “Are You There, Chelsea?” She also regularly appears as a panelist on Chelsea Handler’s E! chat show, “Chelsea Lately.” Though Wong had no acting experience before appearing in “Breaking In,” she says she found the transition relatively simple.

“Acting is super easy,” she says. “You just show up and say the words. Especially for me, coming from stand-up. I moved to New York with no money. I was eating beans from a can, living with eight other people and now I have my own trailer. There’s a woman who puts my clothes on. She literally dresses me.

@kij 7Yj_d] DWjkhWb Let Neil Diamond turn on your heart light.

7 D[_b :_WcedZ ?i <eh[l[h M^e ^WidÊj Yh_[Z" Ç? Wc È when no one’s around? No, not while in the throes of an existential crisis, but during an epic bedroom karaoke rendition of the Neil Diamond jam “I Am ... I Said.” That’s one of many timeless tunes from this legend of popular song, many of which he’s performing on a greatest-hits tour.

Backstory Diamond, a Brill Building songwriter in the early ’60s, found tremendous success composing smashes for the Monkees (“I’m a Believer,” “A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You”). But when you have tenor pipes as golden as Diamond’s, singing your own songs becomes a must.

Hit Machine His first hit as a solo artist was 1966’s “Solitary Man,” and Diamond went on to crank out 37 Top 40 hits.

Even after he established himself as a solo star, artists continued to cover Diamond gems and have chart success, including UB40 (“Red, Red Wine”) and Urge Overkill (“Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon”).

Good to Know The 1969 song “Sweet Caroline” is now a sporting-event staple, with drunken yahoos screaming the “bah, bah, bah” bits. But the song’s non-buffoonish inspiration was a photo of President John F. Kennedy’s 9-year-old daughter.

Don’t Miss Diamond is a sensitive man’s best friend, as proved by his delicate 1972 beauty “Play Me.” CHRISTOPHER PORTER (FOR EXPRESS)

Not so in “Lola Versus,” out Friday, which stars Greta Gerwig as the title character. “I think the movie is more related to reality than a lot of romcoms are,” she says. “It bucks the cliches of, ‘There is a Prince Charming, and it’s all going to work out in the end.’ It does [work out], but not in the way you think it’s going to.”

The film takes a swipe at the oftentimes treacly genre by making Lola, well, kind of insufferable — and not in the “she’s pretty, but she’s a klutz!” way that lead roles in these movies typically are written.

“She’s not adorably a mess,” says Gerwig. “She’s actually a mess. The character isn’t paying lip service to trauma — it’s actually showing her going through something and then

In the anti-romcom ‘Lola Versus,’ actress Greta Gerwig makes a complete mess

“Lola Versus” star Greta Gerwig says she was more concerned about making her character authentic than making her likable.

making the worst possible decisions.

There’s something to how big her screwups are and how badly she screws up relationships.”

Lola can be grating and horrible — an unusual choice for a character that has to carry a movie and is in virtually every scene. “I tried not to worry about if she’s going to be likable, if she’s too annoying,” Gerwig says. “What is really lik-

_dZ_[i Whj_[i

able is what’s truthful, and that’s the ultimate thing that will win people over. It’s not a flattering portrait; it’s just realistic.”

Having to carry the movie intimidated Gerwig (“Greenberg,” “No Strings Attached”), but she coped by being as negative as possible. “I always write reviews in my head before I start shooting, just thinking of the terrible

things people can say. The thing is, I love acting and I love making movies, and as soon as I start acting I’m not worried about it — I’m just having a good time. It’s more of the buildup and anticipation that makes you worry.”

Hopeful thinking isn’t part of her preparation. “I never write positive reviews in my head,” she says. “I just prepare for disaster.”

A Wizard of Animation The AFI Silver’s two-month series “Castles in the Sky: Miyazaki, Takahata and the Masters of Studio Ghibli” wraps up this weekend with Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki’s “Howl’s Moving Castle.” Besides being a fantastic film for anyone, this PG-rated feature from 2004 is a great way to introduce kids — say, 9 and up — to Miyazaki’s work and show them there’s a world of animation out there beyond Disney. It’s the story of Sophie, who’s cursed by the Witch of the Waste and turned into a 90-year-old woman. Her struggle to lift the curse involves a wizard named Howl and his moving castle. (Hence the title.) So, tell the kids “Madagascar 3” was sold out and they’re going to see this instead, and that if they want popcorn they’ll stop complaining already. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring;

The smarter-than-you’d-think “Josie and the Pussycats” (2001) features Rachael Leigh Cook as the feline frontwoman. The music is so catchy you’ll want to dig into your brain to get it out.

“Howl’s Moving Castle” is a great introduction to the world of Hayao Miyazaki.

Elisir chef-owner Enzo Fargione puts a personal spin on his dishware. Since he likes to unwind after a long day in the kitchen by smoking a stogie, Fargione decided to playfully reuse his cigar boxes as serving vessels for smoked branzino carpaccio ($17). Finely filleted fish sauced with a lemon-lime-orange dressing, roasted garlic chips, microgreens and a scattering of seasonal mushrooms are placed in the box, along with a few smoldering applewood chips. When the box is opened at the table minutes later, a puff of smoke emerges.

“It always surprises guests, even if they’ve had it before,” says Fargione. “It adds a sense of glamour to the meal.” Not only does the dish possess the slightly sweet, hazy flavor of the embers, but the smoke itself ends up picking up hints of citrus and fungi.

Sometimes, unexpected presentations are inspired by philosophical choices rather than a desire to be whimsical. Bar Pilar keeps its carbon footprint small by recycling, composting and buying solar energy. General manager and beverage director Jonathan Fain is going one step further by handcrafting glasses out of used Mexican Coke bottles he saves from the bar.

To turn a bottle into a glass, Fain scores it with a cutter, then alternately plunges the bottle into icy cold and hot water until the top pops off. After sanding the edges, he uses the homemade tumblers to serve his rum and coke float, which contains vanilla bean gelato from Dolcezza, brandied cherries spiced with cinnamon and anise, and frothy absintheflavored whipped cream ($11). “Whenever someone orders it,” Fain says, “everyone at the table gets out their cameras.”

Feij[ +++ .j^ Ij$ DM1 (&(#-.)#,&,& Poste executive chef Dennis Marron adds flair to his truffle frites ($9) by serving them in a terra-cotta flower pot. The idea came about after he discovered a cache of the unused clay containers in the restaurant’s kitchen. He wasn’t worried about how people would react to the appetizer’s presentation. “When people want french fries, they don’t care how they come,” he says.

Though this style of service wasn’t inspired by the garden Marron maintains on the restaurant’s patio, there is still a synchronicity between the setting and the food. When his herbs are in season, Marron uses freshly harvested chervil, tarragon and parsley to flavor the spuds.

When you sit down to eat at the recently revamped Jaleo in Penn Quarter, there’s a lot to feast your eyes on. Colorful heaps of fresh fruit sit in bowls on the bar, foosball tables are cleverly repurposed for eating upon and fire-hued tiles are scattered across the ceiling and walls. But one appetizer might leave an even bigger footprint in your memory: fried chicken fritters served inside a resin Camper shoe ($8). “[Owner] José Andrés is full of surprises,” says D.C. chef Ramon Martinez. “Just when you think you’ve seen everything, he does something new.”

If you think that’s wild, consider the fact that when the croquetas de pollo were originally served at the Las Vegas location of Jaleo last year, they arrived in an actual shoe. “Obviously, the shoes were completely safe,” Martinez says. “They passed inspection by the health department.” Not with District officials, however ... That’s OK, though, because we’ve got this artful stand-in, which was created by designer Sami Hayek, otherwise known as Salma Hayek’s brother.

1811 14TH ST NW www.blackcatdc.com JUNE SHOWS THU 14 AND I AM NOT LYING:

LacoMelza Ethio Cafe and Gallery serves its vegetarian sampler in raised glass dishes alongside a platter of injera bread.

JWij[\kb Jm_iji A Silver Spring cafe serves thoughtfully curated Ethiopian fare

Consumers who lump all Ethiopian restaurants together need an introduction to LacoMelza Ethio Cafe and Gallery.

In February, first-time restaurateur Etsegenet Lemma opened a combination 55-seat dining room and art show in Silver Spring. The chemical engineer works in the aerospace industry, yet in the cafe she makes a fine guide to the food of her native Ethiopia.

“We make the cottage cheese here,” she says of the crumbled, chalk-white contrast to LacoMelza’s spicier dishes, which include an excellent version of kitfo, the ground

beef dish mixed with mitmita seasoning blend, freshly ground cardamom and clarified butter and served rare if you wish. The injera isn’t a product of her kitchen, but she buys the crepelike bread while it’s still warm from a shop right behind the restaurant.

Hoping to attract whole families rather than just parents, Lemma, who co-owns the eatery with business partner Alemitu Kidane, keeps a kids’ menu with American options.

LacoMelza distinguishes itself further by serving its stews and salads in pots or raised glass dishes rather than on a round of injera. Lemma says it makes for a neater presentation, and should anyone want to take home leftovers, the food hasn’t been dipped into with too many fingers.

<_hij 8_j[

Stories are told not just on the walls, where the art is for sale and expected to change, but on the tables; beneath their glass tops are linens depicting coffee, Ethiopian history and the Amharic alphabet.

Lemma and her sister, caterer Mekedes Lemma, trained four cooks to prepare the food in the manner of their mother, who raised eight children back in Dessie, Ethiopia, the mountain-ringed town that inspires the restaurant’s Italian name.

A diner doesn’t need to be a carnivore to enjoy LacoMelza. A vegan sampler of soft cabbage, carrots, collards tingling with ginger and garlic, and brown lentils tinted with tomato paste is one of the best ways to get to know the newcomer.

Pitango’s rhubarb sorbet

Rhubarb Diaries Until last week, I’d underestimated rhubarb. It had been in my life a long time, in the form of my mom’s addictive strawberry-rhubarb pie, but I’d tended to ignore it. When I’d eaten rhubarb, it was always in pastries, pies or cakes, and always paired with fruits that are more appealing. Why pay attention to the weird, chopped vegetable (yes, rhubarb is classified as a veggie) in your dessert when you can focus instead on the sugary stuff?

8o AWj_[ But when I heard 7X[hXWY^ Pitango Gelato (in Capitol Hill, Logan Circle and Penn Quarter) was selling rhubarb sorbet, I decided to give solo rhubarb a shot, and maybe — finally — come to appreciate it. Here’s what ran through my head as I tasted a scoop.

First impression: Astonishing appearance! It’s rose-colored, which is not what I’d expected from the deep crimson, celerylike plant. Is this REALLY rhubarb?

First bite: Satisfyingly tart.

Second bite: Also sweet, juicy and fruity, but unlike berries and not exactly citrusy.

Third bite: It’s creamier than I’d expected, and there’s no trace of the stringiness of raw rhubarb. How do they make this stuff? (Answer: Pitango heats rhubarb in a pot with organic cane sugar and water until the stalks disintegrate into a smooth liquid, then throws the mixture in a gelato-maker to freeze. So simple. So transformative.)

20th and final bite: Could this be a healthy alternative to Sour Patch Kids?

The Royal Birthing Will and Kate consider bringing a princess or prince into the world )'

PBS

The best songs on Usher’s latest album, “Looking 4 Myself,” mix club styles with retro soul balladry.

Hey! What a wonderful kind of day it will be tomorrow. PBS KIDS GO! airs a new episode of its animated sitcom “Arthur,” with Joan Rivers giving voice to Francine’s grandma Bubbe. And that’s not just good news for kids.

On Facebook, “Arthur” has nearly a million fans. Fifty-six percent are between the ages of 18 and 24. Other viewers are parents like me who watched when their kids were little and, 8o CWhY years later, still tune in.

I_bl[h Rivers kicks off the June 15 show with a monologue on the “great things” about old age: “It’s cheaper to ride the bus and any time can be naptime, especially when somebody’s boring you to tears.”

Then comes a segment called “Grandpa Dan’s Memory Album.” Facing memory loss, Arthur’s beloved grandpa forgets his grandson’s name.

Arthur is crushed. His bossy little sister D.W. chimes in, “Arthur isn’t a very memorable name.” Bubbe reassures him: No matter what, “your grandpa will always be your grandpa,” heartfelt words that somehow make things better. That’s why grown-ups love the show. It’s funny, sweet and true-tolife, even if Arthur is an aardvark and Bubbe is an ape.

‘Arthur’s’ Admirers

Iceej^ Ef[hWjeh Usher deftly meshes the past with sounds from the future on ‘Looking 4 Myself’ 7bXkc H[l_[m There is a battle for the soul of R&B being waged by two musical camps: revivalists who are keeping the genre tied to its roots by creating music that borrows heavily from classic R&B, and futurists who are fond of imbuing R&B with electronic dance elements that take the music to a new place. The superstar Usher has been pulled in both directions for years — for every houseleaning track, such as the David Guetta-produced “Without You,” or dance track, such as “OMG,” there was a more traditional entry along the lines of “There Goes My Baby”

,&"/&&

or “Daddy’s Home.”

“Looking 4 Myself,” the singer’s best album since 2004’s nearperfect “Confessions,” is less concerned with inclusion of both styles and more focused on seamlessly integrating them.

Yes, some of the music skews club (“Scream”), and other songs could be classified as soul balladry (“What Happened to U”), but all of the tracks attempt a mix. The best do it incredibly well.

The jewel is the already ubiquitous, surprisingly soulful “Climax,” which is about the end of a relationship and not, as people who haven’t listened to the lyrics insist, doing it.

Usher’s shimmering falsetto highs and big power notes are enveloped by a track from Mad Decent honcho Diplo. The composition manages to be one of the most delicate and nuanced of the producer’s career

Stage Previews

Usher

Usher debuted many of the new songs from “Looking 4 Myself” in an unconventional manner in New York back in April: The singer danced to his new music as part of the off-Broadway play “Fuerza Bruta: Look Up.” “Fuerza Bruta” is a fast-paced and acrobatic play in which the audience stands as performers dance and jump around on the walls, onstage and on the floor with the crowd. Usher worked as the show’s lead “running man,” beginning the show on a treadmill, then bursting through paper walls as his song “Climax” blasted in the background. (AP)

without abandoning the throb for which he is known.

“I Care for U,” an atmospheric Danja track, shows that busy production can be just as much of a sexy backdrop for soulful vocals as more sparse ones. The Neptunes-produced “Twisted” is the most interesting blend — think Chad Hugo in the studio with Chubby Checker. The song incorporates bass and synth with elements of ’60s dance craze songs like “The Twist” or “Shake a Tail Feather,” showing that when it comes to R&B, honoring the past and looking to the future isn’t an either/or proposition.

A_YaijWhj[h Co >[Whj Marissa Nadler gives new meaning to the phrase ‘indie artist’ Cki_Y In 2010, Boston singer-songwriter Marissa Nadler set up a Kickstarter account to raise funds for her fifth album. She was looking for $11,000. With the backing of about 400 people, she raised more than $17,000 for the project.

Still, that cash “just barely paid for the recording costs” of the selftitled record, Nadler says — and not much else. “All the manufacturing costs, the postage and the materials — all that was still an expense. It’s a lot more expensive than you’d think.”

She launched her own label, Box of Cedar Records, to release “Marissa Nadler” in 2011, and set up a shop on the indie-commerce site Etsy to sell her music and homemade wares.

When it came time to record her sixth album, “The Sister,” released last month, Nadler opted to fund it herself, viewing it as a reinvestment in her career.

At just eight songs, “The Sister” is a companion to the self-titled effort, not a “follow-up or a competitor,” Nadler says. “It’s a pret-

ty literal implication. I see this as a continuation.”

Both records were made with the same producer (Brian McTear), feature similar musicians and have a sparse, ethereal style reminiscent of early Leonard Cohen. The records were inspired by Nadler’s life, and the writing is more personal than in the past. “It’s grown away from storytelling into more confessional” songs, she says. “It seems more emotional and not just stories.

“It’s probably my most downcast record,” she adds — which is quite a statement, considering her 2004 debut was called “Ballads of Living and Dying.”

When Nadler plays DC9 on Thursday, it will be only her third show of the tour, and these are the first concerts she’s played in nearly four months.

“I’m looking forward to playing shows again,” she says. “It’s the longest time I’ve gone not playing a gig in a while.”

What’s taken up all of her time?

More DIY promotion, via Etsy.

“I spend most of my time these days boxing up records,” she says.

Elvis Presley’s home celebrates 30 years as a tourist attraction Jekh_ic When Graceland opened to the public 30 years ago this month, nobody knew if it would be a success. Nearly 18 million visitors later, the house where Elvis Presley once lived is a moneymaking business that’s transformed Memphis, Tenn., into a top destination for music fans.

But Presley’s ex-wife says it’s the

spirit of Elvis that keeps the crowds coming to Graceland. “Every time I go in there, I feel like Elvis is going to come down the stairs any minute,” says Priscilla Presley. “I have no doubt that he’s there, somewhere, his spirit. I think people feel that.”

The King of Rock‘n’Roll died on Aug. 16, 1977, and by the early 1980s, Graceland had become a burden on his estate. Accountants and bankers wanted to sell the home, but Priscilla Presley thought that opening the house to tourists could solve the financial problems while keeping Elvis’ legacy alive.

Tourists come all year to view Elvis Presley’s grave at Graceland in Memphis, Tenn.

This year, Graceland, which opened in 1982, will welcome its 18 millionth visitor.

Graceland opened for tours on June 7, 1982. “We had no idea whether 30 people were coming, or 300, or 3,000 that first day. Fortunately, it was the latter,” says Jack Soden, CEO of Elvis Presley Enterprises.

They sold out all 3,024 tickets on the first day. Graceland’s success led to a merchandising and licensing business that generates $32 million a year.

Visitors come all year, but they peak in August during the annual commemoration of Elvis’ death.

Graceland expects to welcome its 18 millionth visitor this year.

“It’s been incredible to see that the legacy of Elvis is still going strong,” Priscilla Presley says. “We wouldn’t have imagined that when it was opened in 1982. Elvis is as popular now as he was then, if not even more.” ADRIAN SAINZ (AP)

“Doc McStuffins” is about a girl who runs a clinic for broken toys out of her playhouse.

Hana, the show sends a much-needed message to minority girls about how big their ambitions can be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anyone pull you off course today; distractions abound, but you must remain focused on your prime objective.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The way you care for one in need will reveal a great deal about you to someone who has been watching you and wants to know you better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone may credit your recent success to â&#x20AC;&#x153;magic powersâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really only a matter of dedication, hard work and a little luck.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may enjoy a bit more personal power today than you have had in the past, and your influence will be felt by many.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to put a human face on certain issues that have been only theoretical for too long. Reality requires attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may find yourself asking a few questions today that you promised yourself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and another â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that you would never ask.

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.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The past is the past, and you must be willing to look ahead with your eyes open and your head in the game.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) An honest show of feeling will be required in a certain sensitive, and unavoidable, situation today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) That which is new and different may be captivating others, but you are likely to find that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re satisfied with the tried-andtrue.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) What you see ahead of you today may both excite you and cause you to fear what you do not know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but you must address issues directly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may have to take your chances today in order to maximize your rewards. You will receive at least as much as you risk at this time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may have to work hard to convince a competitor that the time has come to cooperate rather than compete. A solid team can be made.
