President Obama said Wednesday of Republicans’ stalling on debt talks that “now’s the time to go ahead and make tough choices.”

Obama to GOP: ‘Let’s Get It Done’ President tells leaders to come to decision on nation’s debt crisis MWi^_d]jed In a blistering rebuke of Republicans, President Obama on Wednesday pressed lawmakers to accept tax increases as part of a deal to cut the nation’s deficits and avoid a crippling government default. “Let’s get it done,” Obama challenged, chiding Congress for frequent absences from Washington. Senators from Obama’s own Democratic Party quickly said

they’d consider canceling next week’s July 4 recess to work on a possible agreement. In a White House news conference, Obama offered one fresh wrinkle to try to give the economy and pessimistic voters a lift, calling on Congress to pass a oneyear extension of the Social Security payroll tax cut that employees got this year. But he used most of the hour-long session to try to sway public opinion his way on the debt debate consuming Washington. Obama accused Republicans of intransigence over tax hikes, comparing their leaders to procrasti-

:[Xj B_c_j ;nfbW_d[Z Congress instituted the debt limit back in 1917 so that it could stop having to approve every single spending request by the Treasury — but still have a measure of control. Even under the most conservative budget plans, the U.S. would have to keep adding to the national debt in order to meet current obligations, such as Social Security payments and Medicare. So the debt limit will have to be raised. Lawmakers are using the pending breach of the debt limit to force the administration to accept significant cuts in spending. Three credit-rating agencies — Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch — have warned the U.S. could lose its triple-A credit rating if a deal is not reached by Aug. 2. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

nating children and painting them as putting millionaires, oil companies and jet owners ahead of needy students. “His administration has been burying our kids and grandkids in new debt and offered no plan to rein in spending,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, shot back as the day’s events seemed only to entrench both sides.

Obama insisted he wouldn’t support a deal to cut the deficit unless it includes higher tax revenue, not just spending cuts. Republicans have refused to consider that. The president stepped to the podium not long after the International Monetary Fund publicly urged lawmakers to raise the U.S. debt limit, now $14.3 trillion, and warned that failure to do so could produce a spike in interest rates and “severe shock to the economy and world financial markets.” BEN FELLER (AP)

The owner of the West Virginia coal mine where an explosion killed 29 men last year kept two sets of books on safety conditions — an accurate one for itself and a sanitized one for the government, federal regulators said Wednesday. Managers at Massey Energy pressured workers at the Upper Big Branch mine to omit safety problems from the official set of reports, said Mine Safety and Health Administration official Kevin Stricklin. Workers told investigators that the company wanted to avoid scrutiny from inspectors and keep coal production running smoothly. Massey was bought by rival Alpha Natural Resources earlier this

But coal administrator for the Mine Safety and Health Administration Kevin Stricklin says other documents showed six of 10 conveyor belts needed to be coated with pulverized limestone to prevent coal dust from exploding, and five belts needed cleaning. “No one should have been injured,” Stricklin said, “and definitely no one should have died.” (AP)

month, and the new owner said it is looking into the allegations. Even before the April 5, 2010, tragedy that was the nation’s deadliest coalfield disaster in four decides, Massey had a poor safety record and a reputation for putting coal profits first. The mine was cited for 600 violations in less than a year and a half before the blast. In its previous briefings, MSHA blamed the explosion on naturally occurring methane gas and coal dust. It said poorly maintained cutting machinery sparked the blast

Bank of America and its Countrywide unit will pay $8.5 billion to settle claims that the lenders sold poor-quality mortgage-backed securities that went sour when the housing market collapsed. The deal, announced Wednesday, comes after a group of 22 investors demanded that the Charlotte, N.C., bank repurchase $47 billion in mortgages that its Countrywide unit sold to them in the form of bonds. The group argued that Countrywide enriched itself at the expense of investors by continuing to service bad loans. Bank of America has denied those claims. (AP)

Greece OKs Austerity Measures

(AP)

Greece fended off a bankruptcy that would have roiled global markets and threatened the future of the euro when lawmakers on Wednesday backed controversial austerity measures in the face of violent protests. More than 100 people were injured in riots. Investors cheered the bill — which aims to cut spending and raise taxes by $40 billion, and raise $71 billion in privatizations over five years — but, in Athens, the mood was dark. In a haze of tear gas, protesters hurled anything they could find at riot police and tried to blockade the Parliament building. A Greek default would threaten the viability of the euro, the EU’s common currency, and send shock waves through global markets similar to those that kicked off the global financial meltdown after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.

Violence continued throughout the afternoon, and smoke billowed from a post office beneath the Finance Ministry before the fire was put out. (AP)

While world markets rose on the news that the bill passed, many Greeks complain they have already paid dearly in a year that has seen public-sector salaries and pensions cut, and unemployment rise to more than 16 percent. “This is bad, the country will be sold for a piece of bread,” said Dimitris Kostopoulos, a 48-year-old insurer who was protesting Wednesday.

Two days of street battles between security forces and protesters in Cairo show just how volatile Egypt remains nearly five months after the popular uprising that ousted authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak. More than 1,000 people were hurt in the unrest Tuesday and Wednesday, driven by discontent over the slow pace of justice for old regime figures accused of corruption and killing protesters. The clashes in Tahrir Square — the worst since the 18-day uprising — add a new layer to an already painful and chaotic transition from Mubarak’s regime to democracy under the military’s supervision. The violence will likely set back efforts to empower the discredited police to fully take back the city’s crime-ridden streets after they melted away during the early days

of the Jan. 25 to Feb. 11 uprising. Additionally, it will almost certainly deepen the distrust felt by many Egyptians toward the 500,000-strong security forces blamed for the worst human rights abuses during Mubarak’s 29-year rule.

The Federal Transit Administration has approved a proposed 14.5-mile Red Line for further engineering to fine-tune cost esti-

If it receives federal construction money, state officials say, it would open in 2020. Maryland transit officials have said a 16-mile light rail Purple Line between Bethesda and New Carrollton will follow a similar engineering and construction schedule as a Red Line.

Md. Schools Show Gains Pr. George’s improves reading; math scores make notable jump 8Wbj_ceh[ While federal lawmakers debate how to rewrite what teachers and politicians agree is an unrealistic law that expects all students to perform on grade level by 2014, students in Maryland continue a steady climb toward the goal. Performance improved statewide this year for elementary students in reading and for middleschool students in math, according to results of the Maryland State Assessments released Wednesday.

scott

The exams were given to more than 360,000 students in third through eighth grades. “Thanks to the hard work and commitment of our educators, students and parents, we can sustain and build upon the gains we’ve made for every student and every school in Maryland,” Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat, said in a statement. Reading gains were significant in Prince George’s County. After a few years of modest growth, the portion of Prince George’s elementary students scoring proficient or better in reading climbed to 82 percent, up from 79 percent last year. On middle-school math tests,

long a weak point, students also made notable improvement. The pass rate for seventh-grade students jumped six points to 60 percent. For eighth-graders, the pass rate increased by three points to 44 percent, though it remains far below the state average. “I’m proud of the progress we are making,” Prince George’s Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. said in a statement. He attributed the gains to improvements in teaching by analyzing individual test score data and reviewing or re-teaching accordingly, “ensuring that our students have the necessary skills to succeed.” MICH A EL A L I S ON CH A NDL ER ( T HE WA SH INGTON POST )

Attorney Ronald Karp says his client, Walter Blair, was assaulted outside the club by at least two men he says were bouncers. He says his client lost an eye in the assault and was merely caught in the middle of an altercation outside the club while celebrating his 24th birthday. No charges had been brought as of Wednesday afternoon. (AP)

Report: Area Beach Pollution Up

Explore the challenges two teams faced during their historic race to the South Pole.

Those envisioning July 4 celebrations at the beach may be swimming at their own risk, according to a new study that found the number of beach closures nationwide due to dirty water soared last year. The Natural Resources Defense Council, which released its annual report Wednesday, found that beach closures and advisories across the country increased by 29 percent in 2010 compared to a year earlier. The conservation group used data from 3,000 locations nationwide and found that waters in Louisiana, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan had the highest levels of contamination. Virginia came in at No. 12 and exceeded the EPA’s contamination level 5 percent of the time, up from 3 percent in 2009. Maryland came in at No. 16 and went over the recommended standards 7 percent of

Beaches where violations were most frequent were concentrated in Newport News, and King George and Mathews counties in Virgin-

One beach in Kent County had contamination closures or advisories for 71 days in 2010. “It’s a summer rite of passage,” said David Beckman, a senior attorney who directs the nonprofit’s water program. “Unfortunately, it can also make you sick.” (AP)

Leader of the PAC Colbert takes his act to the FEC to poke fun at campaign laws MWi^_d]jed The Federal Election Commission does serious issues. It does complex debates over mind-numbing campaign laws. It does not do funny. But now the agency finds itself the target of a very public joke by television comedian and provocateur Stephen Colbert, who is set to testify Thursday on his tongue-in-cheek bid to form an eponymous “super PAC” for the 2012 election season. The host of “The Colbert Report” on Comedy Central has spent months riffing on the notion of a political committee dedicated to his own enrichment, part of a broad satire poking fun at court rulings allowing corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections. He wants permission to let his network’s parent company, Viacom Corp., help him in the effort.

)' The amount of money Stephen Colbert bragged that he collected in donations stuffed into a greasy paper bag when he greeted supporters outside the FEC in May. Colbert then had to clarify that he has not begun collecting money for his PAC.

“You, the Colbert Nation, could have a voice in the form of my voice shouted through a megaphone made of cash,” he told his audience recently. But while Colbert is playing for laughs, many experts worry that the request will further loosen election laws by blurring the line between broadcast personalities and politicians, giving media companies freer range to act as de facto political groups. The episode illustrates the sense of chaos that has enveloped the nation’s campaign-finance system, which is steadily being chipped away by the courts and by Republican FEC commissioners who take a dim view of many election regulations. Just this week, the Supreme Court threw out part of Arizona’s publicfinancing law, ruling that it is unconstitutional to provide matching funds for candidates facing well-funded rivals.

8WYaijeho Stephen Colbert, who has made a long and successful career by deftly skewering politicians in his guise as a self-important, slightly ridiculous conservative commentator, spent much of the past year poking fun at the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, which found that corporations had the same rights as individuals when it came to political speech. Colbert eventually arrived at the idea of forming his own “super PAC,” a new breed of political committee that is allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money from corporations and individuals. More than 100 super PACs have formed in the past year. (T WP)

ABOUT 500 PEOPLE CHEERED COLBERT ON WHEN HE FILED HIS INITIAL PAPERWORK AT THE FEC IN MAY.

Stephen Colbert, with tongue in cheek but aimed to lash, blustered his way in conservative character through a four-minute speech about immigration reform in front of a House subcommittee last September His message: Working on a farm is so hard that Americans don’t want to do it, so immigration and labor laws should be reformed to allow illegal crop workers a clean path to citizenship. But for all of the attention Colbert might have brought to immigration reform, his testimony also chafed lawmakers of both parties who are engaged in a brutal campaign season. Republicans, not all of whom apparently were familiar with the character, did not appreciate being satirized on their own turf. And some Democrats cringed at “testimony” from a comedian’s alter ego on an issue that for so many is a matter of life and death. ( T WP/AP)

“Obviously, Mr. Colbert is playing this for humor,” said Lisa Gilbert of the Public Citizen advocacy group. “But I’m not sure if he intended these far-reaching consequences.” Among the questions before the panel: Should Colbert be given a press exemption, generally available to newsgathering operations, in order to discuss his “Colbert Super PAC” on the air? Should Viacom have to report any help it gives Colbert as a political contribution? And can Colbert use Viacom resources to pay for super PAC ads that run on other networks? FEC lawyers have drafted three separate sets of answers, including a farreaching opinion that would place few limits on what Viacom and Colbert could do. All three options appear to allow Colbert to highlight the super PAC on his show without having to treat that as reportable political spending. Many campaign-finance activists don’t like the sound of this, fearing that it would allow media companies to secretly fund unlimited political campaigns. Many conservatives, meanwhile, are rooting for Colbert. “I think it’s actually providing his viewers with an inside look at just how convoluted, complex and stifling our current system of campaign finance regulations are,” wrote Sean Parnell of the Center for Competitive Politics.

He][h <[Z[h[hÊi h[YehZ after winning the opening two sets at a major tournament. The 16-time Grand Slam champion’s first such defeat came Wednesday.

Roger, Over and Out Federer is stunned at Wimbledon by Tsonga’s comeback J[dd_i Roger Federer’s bid to win a seventh Wimbledon title was derailed Wednesday by 12th seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, who stormed back from a two-sets-to-none deficit to defeat the Swiss champion 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The 200-pound Tsonga, who is built more like a prizefighter than a tennis pro, pumped both fists in the air and performed five joyful pirouettes around Center Court after the victory, which sends him into Wimbledon’s semifinals for the first time in his career. Tsonga, 26, had beaten Federer only once in five previous meetings. He’ll face No. 2 seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who turned back a spirited challenge from 18-yearold Australian qualifier Bernard Tomic, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 to advance to Friday’s semifinals. It was the first time Federer had lost a Grand Slam match after

leading by two sets. And it marked Federer’s earliest exit from Wimbledon since 2002, when he was a first-round casualty. Since then, he has compiled a record worthy of staking a claim as the best player in the sport’s history, winning a 16 Grand Slam events—including six at Wimbledon.

Less than two months shy of his 30th birthday, Federer slipped to No. 3 in the world earlier this year, surpassed by Djokovic, who moved into second behind Spain’s Rafael Nadal. Despite speculation that Federer had lost his winning edge, few anticipated that he’d not reach the finals of Wimbledon this year, where his skill is most effectively and effortlessly displayed.

Shortly after the loss, Federer said he was actually pleased with his effort against Tsonga, apart from the outcome. “Except the score, many, many things went right in the match,” Federer said. “I’m pretty pleased with my performance today.” Wednesday’s match was Federer’s 29th-consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal. And he thoroughly dominated the first set, which lasted just 27 minutes. But the beefy Tsonga relaxed in the second set and started hitting his forehand and serve with abandon. And after Federer steamrolled through the tiebreak to take a twosets-to-none lead, Tsonga fought

all the more. Tsonga broke Federer’s vaunted serve to win the third set. Serving for the fourth, Tsonga closed a love game with an ace. And he was on a tear from there, breaking Federer in the opening game of the fifth set. It was the only break he needed. Afterward Federer expressed confidence he’d win more titles in the future. “It’s pretty tough for anyone to win Grand Slam tournaments these days,” Federer said. “But one will. One will.” When asked whether he thought he could win a 17th major, he said: “I think I definitely can. I wouldn’t be here if that wasn’t the case.” LIZ CL ARKE (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Finally not battling injuries, shortstop is having a banner year Fhe 8Wi[XWbb

The Orioles are again below the .500 mark, but they have a bright spot on their roster that manager Buck Showalter sees as a candidate for the All-Star Game on July 12. “I can’t imagine anybody having a better year at shortstop than J.J. Hardy,” Showalter said. Hardy spent a month on the disabled list for an oblique strain starting in mid-April before returning to have a monster June (going into Wednesday’s game, he was batting .365 with nine home runs and 18 RBI for the month). Of his 11 home runs this season, four gave the Orioles the lead in games. The 11 homers are also

four more than Orioles shortstops have hit in the past three years combined. Hardy, 28, attributes his success to finally being healthy. “I haven’t had one nagging thing like I did last year that lasted the whole season,” Hardy said. “So other than that oblique, I’ve been as healthy as I can be.” Hardy also spent time away from the Milwaukee Twins in 2010 with a recurring wrist injury. A s mid-season trade time approaches, Hardy said he is open to all possibilities, though it seems he has found a place in Baltimore. “I like it here. I like the guys. I like playing for Buck,” Hardy said. “There’s a lot of things I like about this organization, but at the same time, I’ve played oneyear deals my whole career. It’d be nice to know that I’m going to be staying somewhere for a while.” KRYSTINA LUCIDO

writing literate roots-pop songs full of catchy choruses and Americana details. Following six wellreviewed albums and a seemingly endless tour, he’s written his first novel, “Bright’s Passage” ($22, the Dial Press), which follows a World War I veteran making a biblical trek through the American wilderness. Ritter will read from his book Thursday at Politics & Prose. What about this idea inspired a novel instead of a song? A good song is like an envelope. It should be able to hold the fullest story you could imagine. A novel is like a letter. I really wanted to open up the envelope and see the full scope of what was in there.

Was it a challenge to follow an idea through a 200-page novel instead of a three-minute song? It was a welcome change of pace and style. When the songs for [Ritter’s 2010 album] “So Runs the World Away” were done, I felt like, rather than jumping back into songwriting, I would try something a little different. Does reading inspire your songwriting, or vice versa? Writing of any kind is inspiring if it’s done well. In a lot of ways my songs come from life — books, movies, friends, dreams. And I feel like that’s what a novel is, as well. Which writers inﬂuenced or guided this project?

The main one I look to is Muriel Spark, the great Scottish writer who’s most famous for “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.” I always felt like her writing was touched at the very edges with a supernatural quality, and I always liked the way her books were very short and sharp and funny and cruel.

M[[a[dZ FWii | entertainment Sanitation workers gather for a solidarity march in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968, in a photo included in “For All the World to See.”

A new exhibit about the struggle for civil rights treats everyday objects as artifacts Cki[kci Maurice Berger spent nearly seven years amassing objects for his exhibition “For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights.” But unlike typical museum collections, most of Berger’s artifacts are not on loan from institutions. They’re from eBay. “I was able to find everything from church fans to Black Panther newspapers to Nation of Islam newspapers” on the online marketplace, Berger says. “I was able to find the Jet magazine that had a photo of Emmett Till’s mutilated body. Basically, I built an archive.” Rather than present what he calls “some august museum version of

civil rights,” the research professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture wanted to show how images from magazines, political pins and other ephemera “operated in the everyday lives of Americans, black and white,” he says. “How did these images actually alter prevailing ideas about race?” His carefully assembled archive forms the core of “For All the World to See,” now on view at the National Museum of American History (and co-sponsored by the National Museum of African American History and Culture). The exhibit covers both positive and negative representations of African Americans that proliferated from the 1930s through the 1960s. During that time, “there was this effluence of films and advertising in which black people were portrayed as servants,” Berger says. To counter such harmful stereo-

There’s Natalie Portman, backstage at this year’s Independent Spirit Awards, looking pretty miserable. There’s James Franco, seeming a little bored. But then there are the drag queens, more snapshots arranged in grids of 50 or more. These characters, who make up the bulk of Kost’s “Between the Lines” show at Con-

ner, are famous in their own circles. And they are clearly having a better time performing their brand of celebrity than Portman. The show is the first time Kost — who’s been making photo series of club kids and celebrities since 2001 — has juxtaposed his two favorite subject areas. “Everything is about facade,” Kost explains. “Fame and facade is one unified thing. Drag queens put themselves together with this public face in the same way celebrities do.” His Polaroid grids and largescale prints chronicle an evening’s rowdiness, all pouty lips, stiletto heels and impossible bodily proportions and hair colors. “The goal

You should take this seriously.’” In this age of instant uploads, Kost’s work carries a retro charm.

9^Wd][ e\ IY[d[ho Shakespeare Theatre puts an American twist on one of the Bard’s boldest plays

J^[ Ijeho “The Merchant of Venice” follows louche youth Bassanio as he pursues wealthy heiress Portia, after borrowing cash from his friend Antonio. Antonio, unfortunately, is forced into debt to vengeful usurer Shylock. This was a poor decision for Antonio, it turns out. F.Z.

J^[Wj[h The plays of William Shakespeare keep such a hold over us, in part because of how modern his writing can feel and how the angst and humor still resonate. But some of his plays have fallen out of favor, possibly because they didn’t fit the tenor of the times. “The Merchant of Venice,” the story of money-lending and antiSemitism in Renaissance Italy, went out of fashion until modern directors and actors found ways to transform the Jewish villain into something other than a stereotypical demon. Suddenly, Shylock became one of the great roles of classical theater, and the play shifted its focus to the evils of anti-Semitism rather than the evils of money-lending.

When Ethan McSweeny was asked to direct the show for the Shakespeare Theatre, he decided to go straight to the American heart of a British play set in Italy. “It’s an architectural quirk that a lot of the elevated train tracks and other civic architecture of New York were based on images from Venice,” he says. “You can hold up these pictures and you’re, like, ‘That’s a wrought-iron Bridge of Sighs, right there.’ “So we thought, ‘What if we really did commit to setting the play

on the Lower East Side in the late 1920s? What would that do to the worlds of this play?’” McSweeny helped transform a story of a Jew (Shylock) lending money to an impoverished Italian (Bassanio) seeking to woo a wealthy Italian woman (Portia) into a play about Italian and Jewish immigrant factions in the tenements of New York City. In the play, an Italian plans to marry a wealthy WASP. “Instead of ‘The Merchant of Venice’ being a story about hegemonic Italians oppressing a minority Jewish culture, it puts the Italians and the Jews on slightly more equal footing,” McSweeny says. “They’re both immigrant groups struggling to get a piece of the American pie. It makes sense out of parts of the story that haven’t made sense to me for a long time.” FIONA ZUBLIN (E XPRESS) Shakespeare Theatre, 610 F St. NW; through July 24; 202-5471122, Shakespearetheatre.org.

Norse legend describes trolls as fierce creatures, as large and physically menacing as they are repugnant to the eyes and nose.

‘Page One’ examines the New York Times as it strives to evolve in a changing business IYh[[d Creating a documentary about the New York Times seems fairly straightforward: Locate reporters as they work in cubicles; set up camera; hit “record.” But it was hardly so simple for Andrew Rossi, who directed “Page One: Inside the New York Times,” out Friday. “It was a very physical process,” says Rossi, who gained unprecedented access to the Gray Lady and her staffers for 14 months in 2009 and 2010. “I was racing around the building, trying to follow all these different writers. Keeping up with them was a very athletic process.” By focusing on four journalists on the paper’s Media Desk (reporters David Carr, Brian Stelter and Tim Arango, and editor Bruce Headlam), Rossi’s film offers an insider’s perspective on the transitional state of today’s news media. We see the interviews, editorial meetings and reporting involved with chronicling emerging news platforms such as WikiLeaks and events such as the withdrawal of

U.S. troops from Iraq. There are scenes of laid-off staffers bidding emotional farewells; the specter of bankruptcy (which the paper avoided in part with a $250 million loan from Mexican businessman Carlos Slim in 2009) also looms large. Rossi decided to make the film after a number of prominent figures argued that the Times was on the verge of extinction — and that that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, because it would make room for more Web-based citizen journalism. He hoped to provide a new perspective on “an institution that has so many different opinions associated with it. People think that it’s

too liberal, or that it’s pompous or that it’s one monolithic voice, but it’s not,” he says. One of the Times’ strongest voices, at least among the film’s cast of “characters,” is Carr, a former drug addict and an unflagging champion of the Times. Carr believes his paper is uniquely positioned to be the subject of a film about broader industry trends — more so than a smalltown paper — because “everyone has an opinion about it.” “The Times tends toward selfimportance, and that makes it easy both to laugh at and fight for,” Carr says. “You don’t need to explain what a New York Times is.”

THURSDAY

Happy Campers The kids at Brightest Young Things are taking a break from their weekly pool parties this year, but they’re diving back in for a day to make sure you enjoy July Fourth with prizes, DJs and all things inflatable at a daylong adult ode to summer camp. (The patriotism is secondary to the pool.) Capitol Skyline Hotel, 10 I St. SW; Mon., noon, $15; Brightestyoungthings.com. (Navy Yard)

DAKOTA FINE/BRIGHTESTYOUNGTHINGS.COM

Mall Rats Many tourist-phobic D.C. residents steer clear of the National Mall on the Fourth of July. That’s their loss, because they could be spending the day lying on a blanket, listening to a sweet concert (which this year features Josh Groban, above, and Kelli O’Hara) and watching the best fireworks ever. U.S. Capitol, West Lawn; Mon., 8 p.m., free; Pbs.org/capitolfourth. (Capitol South)

WEEKEND

Where Them Grills At?

The Estate Fourth In 1778, Gen. George Washington gave each of his soldiers a double ration of rum to celebrate July 4. Unfortunately, this weekend’s July Fourth festivities at Mount Vernon don’t include free booze, but they will include military demonstrations, live music and daylight fireworks (and you can buy rye whiskey brewed at the estate). Mount Vernon, 3200 Mount Vernon Memorial Hwy., Alexandria; Mon., 8 a.m.-5 p.m., $15; 703-780-2000, Mountvernon.org.

There will be DJs spinning at DC9 this Independence Day, but, more importantly, there will be grilling on the roof deck and specials on the District’s own DC Brau beer. If you don’t have your own roof from which to watch the fireworks, this is a good option. DC9, 1940 9th St. NW; Mon., 2 p.m., free; 202-483-5000, Dcnine. com. (U St.-Cardozo)

Freedom Isn’t Free If you can forget the fact that you have to go to work Tuesday morning, check out FreedomFest, an enormous, two-day dance party on the Waterfront. The lineup features dozens of bands and DJs, including the Dirty Heads, on five stages. The Yards Park, 3rd and Water streets SE; Sun. and Mon., $25$50; Nationalfreedomfest.com. (Navy Yard)

? @k_Yo Watermelon takes a starring role in creative soups, salads and cocktails

IjhWmX[hho WdZ MWj[hc[bed Iekf

Most diners don’t think of ordering a bowl of soup to get their internal AC going, but that just means they haven’t tried Zentan’s chilled strawberry and watermelon soup ($15). The two starring fruits are blended with a splash of yuzu juice (a tart Asian citrus fruit), a little sour cream and a few fresh mint leaves. It’s garnished with an oval island of crème fraîche ice cream and a few strawberry slices. Executive chef Jaime Montes de Oca uses these familiar flavors to draw in his diners. “People are more likely to order dishes if they incorporate something that they recognize,” he says. “If you can warm them up with that, you can get them to do more hardcore Asian cuisine next.” 1155 14th St. NW; 202-379-4366, Zentanrestaurant.com.

“People don’t associate watermelon with Mediterranean cooking,” concedes head chef Michael Costa. “But it’s actually quite prevalent.” Case in point is the Aegean eatery’s seared Halloumi (a Greek cheese made with sheep’s and goat’s milk) and melon salata ($9.50). A slab of the griddled cheese sits at the center of the plate, surrounded by a ring of compressed watermelon cubes, light green squares of pickled watermelon rind and half orbs of roasted cherry tomato. 701 9th St. NW; 202-638-0800, Zaytinya.com.

If you’re looking to beat the heat, enjoy a Watermelon Cricket or three ($11 each). Rosehip- and cucumberinfused gin is mixed with muddled fresh watermelon, lemon and lime juice; a splash of simple syrup; and Peychaud’s bitters (boozy bitters from New Orleans). “It’s very refreshing in the hot humidity,” says beverage director Erin Ward. 425 7th St. NW; 202-737-7770, Carminesnyc.com.

Executive chef Tony Conte likes to play with his food. His crudo of tuna, bonito (similar to skipjack tuna), watermelon and avocado ($15) doesn’t look anything like you’d expect. Compressed watermelon is topped with ground tuna and shaped into a translucent bar; it’s hard to tell where the fruit stops and the fish begins. “Until you actually eat it, you don’t know what is what,” Conte says. This confounding creation is crowned with fried garlic, shallot chips and homemade avocado ice cream. The plate is decorated with cherry bomb radishes and a brushstroke of bonito mayo.

This Tysons Corner restaurant prides itself on its farm-to-table approach, which is showcased with the locally sourced watermelon salad ($8). The pinkish-red slabs are dotted with white cubes of feta cheese and thinly shaved red onions marinated in white wine vinegar, then drizzled with a honey-sweetened tangerine vinaigrette. The summery salad is finished off with a few radish sprouts on top. “They add a spicy, peppery, horseradish-y flavor,” Elder says. “That creates another dimension for the dish.” 7920 Jones Branch Drive, McLean, Va.; 703-761-5131, Harthrestaurant.com.

The offerings rotate based on market availability, so asparagus may show up in several dishes one day, and sea urchin may take center stage the next. “The creativity starts when the ingredients come in,” Trabocchi says. “They naturally suggest what ends up on the table.”

Chef Fabio Trabocchi became a James Beard Award winner during his time at Maestro in Tysons Corner, but he left for New York City in 2007 to open the Italian eatery Fiamma. That venture closed down a little more than a year after it opened, but Trabocchi didn’t lose his passion for the cuisine of his homeland. Now he has returned to the area that made him famous — in Penn Quarter, this time around — with the chic-yet-casual Fiola, which opened in April.

A single mom studying for a Ph.D. is on a game show. She flubs an answer. She believes there is a book called “Mind-Reading for Dummies.” Nope, there isn’t. But she doesn’t just walk off the set. She is strapped in a car, wearing safety gear and murmuring “Oh, Lord Jesus.” A monster truck then squashes the car. Assuming Dr. Mom survives, she is reimbursed for gas money for driving to and from the show. Some might say 8o CWhY ABC’s “101 Ways to I_bl[h Leave a Game Show” (Tuesdays, 9 p.m. through July 26) is the cruelest game show ever, especially when host Jeff Sutphen, above, goes, “Ha, ha, ha, wow,” after a contestant plunges 10 stories into a pool. Or maybe it’s just stupid. Or maybe … it’s secretly brilliant. The questions are cool (A lion has … 30 teeth! The movie that sold the most U.S. box office tickets is not “Titanic” or “Avatar” but … “Gone with the Wind”!). The exit stunts, executed by a veteran stunt man, are awesome: dangling from a helicopter, tumbling down a mountain in a metal ball. The winner gets $50,000, but the real thrill is watching the tearful losers, some of whom are really annoying, rocket into oblivion. Comments? Give Marc your feedback: expressnightout.com/muse

DREAMWORKS

Crying Game

Shia LaBeouf, left, and Josh Duhamel, right, reprise their roles in the ongoing battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons in “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.”

J^[ @kdaÊi 7bb >[h[ Director Michael Bay jams as much action as possible into the third ‘Transformers’ <_bc H[l_[m Transformation proves to be beyond the grasp of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,’’ the latest movie in which 1980s-vintage Hasbro toys come to life and kick ’bot. Rather than streamline the vehicle, director Michael Bay and his team have dumped more nuts, bolts and carburetors on the pile. So this Autobotvs.-Decepticon adventure runs even longer than its predecessor, which was plenty long enough. “Dark of the Moon’’ is the Transformers-do-D.C. movie, and one of the things the filmmakers got right this time was dividing the story into just two chapters. The first,

J^[ EXl_eki

D.C. in ‘Transformers’ Looks Nothing Like It This probably isn’t a huge surprise, since movies rarely depict D.C. accurately, but “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” did shoot for several days last year in our nation’s capital. Some of those scenes — a quick shot of Optimus Prime, in truck form, speeding down a D.C. street, a newswoman doing a live shot in front of the Capitol — appear. But, generally, D.C. looks completely unrecognizable — full of impossibly tall buildings, street signs that make no sense and a vibe evocative of a less stylized version of “Sin City.” (T WP)

jokier section is set in Washington (played by several Midwestern cities as well as our town). The second, more action-oriented part moves to Chicago. There are brief visits to many other climes — including the moon, of course — but holding the story to two essential locations makes the movie more coherent than its predecessor. Good luck following the demolition-derby final battle, though.

JhWdi\ehc[hi0 :Wha E\ j^[ Ceed F=#') Director: Michael Bay Stars: Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel In a Nutshell: The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.

If “Dark of the Moon’’ is better grounded geographically, its tone is all over the map. Dispatching Shia LaBeouf’s Sam Witwicky on his third “Transformers” caper, the movie wobbles between quick-cut action and outright slapstick. As befits a cinematic saga that began as toy tie-in, “Dark of the Moon’’ sometimes seems designed for boys who are too young to appreciate the charms of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the British blonde who plays Sam’s new squeeze, Carly. This is, after all, a movie about the fundamental coolness of sports cars that turn into sentient robots. And while the CGI and (mostly unobtrusive) 3-D are up to date, whenever Autobot philosopher-king Optimus Prime offers Sam some wisdom, the advice sounds like something from a Depression-era Boy Scout handbook.

Jill Scott re-emerges with a fresh outlook on life and a new CD F[hiedWb_j_[i A word that captures Jill Scott’s vibe of late: “Free.” “That’s the word I’ve been using,” Scott says. With last week’s release of “The Light of the Sun,” Scott — singer, songwriter, actor, poet — not only ends a four-year hiatus from new music, but her fourth studio album is the first under a recently minted distribution partnership between her Blues Babe

Records and Warner Bros. “It’s exciting because it’s on my own terms,” Scott says. “It’s like starting all over again. Music shouldn’t be a chore or feel like any kind of burden. It’s free and alive. And that’s where I am.” Scott’s re-emergence also signals a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. The last four years found Scott getting divorced, giving birth, calling off an engagement and settling a legal dispute with her former label, Hidden Beach. Now it’s time for something new. Equal parts soulful, sultry, sassy, introspective and empowering, “Light of the Sun” re-estab-

Hutson produced “Light,” and the guest list features Anthony Hamilton, Eve and Paul Wall. Standout tracks include “Blessed,” a tribute to her son; the emotional “Hear My Call,” about healing a broken heart; female the anthem “Rolling Hills”; and the playful “Le Boom Vent Suite.” Hutson, who worked with Scott on 2007’s “The Real Thing,” says “Le Boom” is a perfect example of the singer’s desire to destroy more boundaries and let whatever hap-

No matter. It’ll soon be playing on a set of headphones near you regardless: Real brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall are Nashville’s hottest non-country export at the moment. The former Be Your Own Pet members and sons of songwriter Robert Ellis Orrall, who produced Taylor Swift’s self-titled debut, lay down a righteous slab of sludge mixed

“Hey Friend” is a marvel for both its crunchy beginning and the unexpected turn it takes midway through, as the thunder suddenly cuts out and Jake Orrall, pictured left here with his brother Jamin, sings this lilting line: “I’ve been thinking about your mom/you can’t tell me it’s really wrong.” The song is both epic and tender; prog-rock and punk; fast and slow and totally refreshing.

“Endless Fire” mimics blue album-era Weezer on codeine-laced cough syrup. Then things get really trippy when they break out what sounds like a sitar on “Health and Strength.” While the inf luences come fast and furious, this is no tribute album. The Orralls have taken these bits and pieces from their record collection and made something wholly new. CHRIS TALBOT T (AP)

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may be tempted to behave in a way that is not entirely sanctioned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and yet you only have to bend the rules a little bit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) What you see is not necessarily what you get; you can expect certain surprises to stay with you for quite some time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the chance to give someone close to you precisely what he or she really needs. Some may be surprised by what you offer. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good day to spend your money in a manner that breaks with tradition â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and your financial creativity can pay off handsomely. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Just because what you are attempting has never been done before doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull it off.
