Wives Take Key Role in Campaign Michelle Obama, Ann Romney work airwaves for votes

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no coincidence that Michelle Obama and Ann Romney are showing up a lot more as the tight presidential race barrels into the final few months.

The rival campaigns are rolling out their top assets in a big way.

The ďŹ rst lady is the public face of a new grassroots mobilizing effort for Team Obama. And Mrs. Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent interviews have put her on display cutting through the campaign din â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including her blunt statement Thursday that her husband has provided everything that â&#x20AC;&#x153;people need to knowâ&#x20AC;? and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be releasing more tax returns.

Although Mrs. Romney is still largely unknown to a large swath of the public, both women are well regarded by voters in their own parties, and the campaigns are going all-out to use their appeal in ways that go well beyond the traditional presidential cookie bakeoff.

Mrs. Obama on Thursday made her debut as the leader of the Obama campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Takes Oneâ&#x20AC;? program, which asks supporters to do one thing to promote the campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to engage someone else to do likewise.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That one conversation you have, that one new volunteer you recruit, that could be the difference between waking up on Nov. 7 and feeling the promise of four more years or asking yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Could I have done more?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Mrs. Obama says in a three-

minute video to supporters that is ďŹ lled with urgency.

Mrs. Romney, for her part, has increasingly been out front, ďŹ elding questions on issues at the core of her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his choice for vice president, his refusal to release more tax returns, and more. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a potent fundraiser.

In an interview that aired Thursday on ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Morning America,â&#x20AC;? Mrs. Romney summed up her expectations for President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future with a curt sports analogy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to ďŹ re the coach because things are not going well,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Pentagon Says Uniforms OK at Gay Pride Parade The Department of Defense is allowing service members to march in uniform in a gay pride parade for the first time in U.S. history.

Dry Weather to Linger Drought will affect crops until October, U.S. forecasters say

5243 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA

Tel: 703-751-7868

www.tailoredman.com

The unusually hot dry weather that has gripped the nation will not let up its stranglehold over the next few months, federal weather forecasters said Thursday.

And that means the heartland’s “f lash drought” will linger at least until around Halloween and even spread a bit farther north and east.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s outlook for August through October shows that nearly every state likely will have hotter than normal temperatures.

Much of the Midwest is likely to be drier than normal, too.

“It certainly is grim news,” said Illinois state climatologist Jim Angel.

drought or worse rose in one week from 31 percent to 35 percent. Experts call it a flash drought because it developed in a matter of months, not multiple seasons.

“It’s really unpleasant,” said drought specialist Kelly Helm Smith at the National Drought Mitigation Center in Nebraska.

She said relief “is not on the radar that I’m aware of.”

NOAA’s forecast for just the month of August indicates a high probability for little rain for all or parts of 15 states that are the epicenter of the drought. That region encompasses Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa and the states generally surrounding them.

All told, 42 states or parts of them have been hit by the drought. A NOAA map shows it stretches from California east to Ohio and from Texas north to Minnesota. Pockets of drought also dot the East, including much of Georgia and South Carolina. SETH BORENSTEIN (AP)

Assad Appears After Bombing Leader projects air of calm as war tears into Syrian capital 8[_hkj Syrian President Bashar Assad made his first appearance Thursday since a bomb killed some of his top lieutenants, looking calm and composed on state TV even as his forces turned parts of Damascus into combat zones and rebels seized two of the country’s border crossings.

The state media report said Assad, wearing a blue suit and tie, swore in the new defense minister and wished him good luck.

The unprecedented attack

on Assad’s inner circle Wednesday that killed three top aides — including his defense minister — coupled with the government’s inability to crush the rebels after five days of intense clashes in the capital, point to an unraveling of his grip on power after 16 months of violence.

Russia and China vetoed a new Security Council resolution on the Syrian crisis on Thursday at the U.N. The resolution would have imposed sanctions against President Bashar Assad’s government if it didn’t withdraw troops and heavy weapons from populated areas in 10 days. It was tied to Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which could eventually allow the use of force to end the conflict.

Russia and China have long opposed any moves that could pave the way for foreign military intervention. The vote leaves in limbo the future of the 300-member U.N. monitoring team in Syria, whose mandate expires Friday. (AP)

Even though Assad’s powerful military remains mostly loyal — suggesting a total collapse may not be imminent — the rebels appeared to be making startling gains.

Besides the fighting in Damascus, about a half-dozen rebels took over a Syrian border crossing near the Iraqi town of Qaim, an Iraqi official said. Rebels overtook a Syrian army outpost near the Iraqi border after clashes that killed 21 Syrian soldiers, he added.

In addition, amateur video posted online showed rebels taking over the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, where they stomped on portraits of Assad. The Associated Press could not independently verify the video. ELIZ ABE TH

Minutes later, authorities say, the man, filmed by security cameras at the Burgas airport, would board a bus filled with Israeli tourists and blow himself up, killing six others as well. Authorities looked Thursday for clues as to who he was, using his fingerprints, his DNA and his fake Michigan driver’s license.

Israel was quick to blame Iran and its Lebanese allies Hezbollah for the attack Wednesday. An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman called the accusation “baseless.”

MehbZ Diminished rainfall, lack of stability yield increase in refugees :ebe" IecWb_W The long, dusty walks from hungry homes to far-away refugee camps are again claiming lives in Somalia one year after up to 100,000 people died in the country’s worst famine in generations.

Two lethal factors are again combining to send families fleeing from their homes: too little rain and too many guns.

Enough rain did fall in Somalia this year to prevent a repeat of

last year’s massive famine, but it wasn’t enough to keep everyone fed. In addition, al-Shabab militants are infiltrating towns and demanding payments from families, residents said.

The weekslong walks to refugee camps made by hundreds of thousands of Somalis last year turned sandy paths into roads of death for the famine’s weakest victims.

In a cruel replay of last year’s hunger marches, many families who went home as the crisis eased are returning to the camps.

“We came here because of hunger and security,” said Ali Ganoon Abdi Rahman, a 75-year-old who walked nine days with his wife,

daughter and four grandchildren.

“Let these two things be sorted, then we will go back.”

The U.N. declared a famine in Somalia last July 20 as hundreds of thousands of people set out on foot in search of food. About 12 million people needed aid at the peak of the famine, which the U.N. declared over in February. About 2.5 million need aid now, the U.N. says.

In Mogadishu, tens of thousands of refugees still live in camps. For Aden Mohamed, the famine’s horrors are far from over. He sobbed as he carried the body of his 2-yearold son, who died Thursday of malnutrition.

“If there is no drought and famine, why are our children dying of hunger?” asked the mourning father of six. JASON STR A ZIUSO (AP)

Background: Perhaps best known for his firm opposition to abortion and gay rights, Santorum’s evangelical roots could help Romney win over religious conservatives.

Background: One of the stronger candidates, Pawlenty is an evangelical Christian with blue-collar roots.

Pawlenty has campaigned aggressively for Romney, and their wives are close friends. “I’m not as flashy as some, but compared to some others, I think I’m right in there,” Pawlenty told Fox News on Wednesday.

H_Ya IWdjehkc

PICK :

Background: Considered by many to be one of Romney’s top choices and backed by the nation’s largest tea party group to be Romney’s vice president, Rubio is a young, conservative and telegenic Cuban-American. When asked by ABC News on Thursday about running-mate rumors, he said, grinning: “I don’t comment on the vice presidential process.”

Background: Staunchly conservative and a popular governor, McDonnell would bring strong national security credentials to the ticket as a 21-year Army veteran with a daughter who served in Iraq. But in late May, he appeared on WTOP’s “Ask the Governor” program and said he was not being vetted. “I’m absolutely planning to finish my term.”

PICK ED BY:

Background: As the nation’s first Hispanic female governor, Martinez could attract female and Hispanic voters. CNN’s Candy Crowley highlighted Martinez’s suitability, saying she has “a trifecta of political assets: female, Hispanic and a swing state governor.” But in April, Martinez said, “I can’t do this halfway and jump into something else.”

GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO

IkiWdW CWhj_d[p

PICK :

Background: With an inspiring backstory, Jindal is the first IndianAmerican to be elected governor. He’s also a young, reform-minded, rising star in the Republican party. In his four-plus years in office, Jindal has built an impressive record that would fit nicely with Romney’s promises to bring conservative principles to the federal government.

GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA

8eXXo @_dZWb

PICK :

Step 1: Find some political junkies in your office. You’re in D.C. — this shouldn’t be hard.

Step 2: Pick a draft order. Choose numbers from a hat, go alphabetically or in order of office tenure. Another idea is to let Republicans go first, since it will be their ticket after all.

Step 3: Read these pages for some quick research so you don’t blow the first pick by drafting Sarah Palin.

Step 4: Establish a time interval between picks. One minute is enough, considering Mitt Romney’s been dragging this process out since April.

D[l[h 8[[d _d W <WdjWio :hW\j 8[\eh[5

Background: An extremely passionate tea party favorite and an Iraq War vet, West would become the first AfricanAmerican vice president if picked and elected. In April, when asked by CNN whether he would say yes if Romney wanted him as a running mate, he said, “If it’s the right fit, then I will do so.” Last week, Romney said, “He’d be a great vice president.”

Background: The first Republican governor of Puerto Rico in 40 years, Fortuño has a strong conservative background and would be a bold and stable vice presidential pick. Fortuño said he doesn’t expect to be Romney’s pick, saying to the National Review in June: “I have a few ideas about who Romney should pick, but I won’t say.

I know too many of them.”

PICK ED BY:

Background: Because of his successful tenure as governor and connection to Republican groups, Bush could be one of the most qualified candidates.

In April, he said he would “consider” being Romney’s running mate, but his spokesman said the comments were taken out of context. Also in April, Bush emailed Bloomberg: “I am not going to be the veep nominee.”

FORMER GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA

@[X 8ki^

PICK :

Background: An influential tea party figure with a Libertarian streak and son of 2012 GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, Rand Paul endorsed Romney in June and afterward said it would be “a great honor to be considered as a vice president for the Republican Party.” A strong and stable politician who is as calm as they come, Paul could bring in fans of Ron Paul.

KENTUCKY SENATOR

CA NDIDATE:

Background: Businessman-turnedcongressman, Toomey has the chops to build on Romney’s strengths and his blue-collar background could assuage voters unsure about Romney’s wealth.

In a CBS radio interview in May, when asked about vice presidential rumors, Toomey said, “I don’t give it much thought at all. … I’m sure [Romney will] make a great pick.”

As a folksy and unpretentious host for Fox News, Huckabee has spent the past five years winning over the GOP base and could soften Romney’s image.

Background: Liked and lauded by members of both parties, Ryan is known as a deficit hawk who’s focused on transforming the federal government. When prodded Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether he was being vetted, Ryan said, “I am not going to answer that question because it doesn’t do the Romney campaign any favors to speculate.”

Married to an Iraq War veteran and mother of two, she also has said she’s looking forward to debating Vice President Biden if chosen. If picked, she could help win over women voters for Romney.

Background: As the daughter of Indian immigrants, a popular governor and a rising star in the GOP, Haley has stumped for Romney and could bring in undecided voters. But last week, when asked whether she was being vetted by Romney’s team, she said, “No, I am not. I made a promise to the people of my state [to complete my term] and I have to keep it.”

Dej Bel[ Dej[i Musicians of all stripes had the chance to audition Tuesday for the “MetroPerforms!” program, which places volunteer artists at stations around the transit system. One band that didn’t bother to try out? I’m A Circle. The rockers’ goal isn’t really to entertain riders, but to warn them.

The first track off their debut EP is “Redline,” an ode to the oldest of Metro’s color-coded train routes. And the aggressive hook — “God damn you, Red Line / You really screwed me this time” — could easily have been written this week about the two computer malfunctions that shut down the entire Metro system on Saturday, or the separate issues that forced the closure of the Dupont Circle stop twice on Monday.

Inspiration actually came from an incident in October, says Dave Circle (all of the bandmates claim “Circle” is their last name). The 42-year-old bassist got stuck in a tunnel on his way to meet up with his girlfriend. “It seemed like forever. I was watching other people cursing, trying to use their phones.

It was claustrophobic,” he says. “I thought, ‘This is a song.’”

His bandmates agreed. “They ride the Red Line and have had tri-

als and tribulations,” says Circle, who recently moved near Forest Glen. He grew up in the D.C. area and still remembers the thrill of taking the Metro with his dad on the day it opened. After being away in Las Vegas for four years, he came back to find out his beloved transit system wasn’t quite the same. “It’s not working anymore,” he says.

That’s all reflected in the tune, which Circle says mimics the feeling of his October Metro ride.

“The song starts out in a rush. You’re trying to get somewhere,” he says. Suddenly, the insistent beat stops, making way for wailing guitar solos that signify the despair of a passenger unable to reach a destination. There’s also a slight echo effect to evoke being stuck in a tunnel.

The lyrics don’t resemble poetry as much as they do whiny tweets: “I got stuck on a train. I don’t normally complain. But it was lame. Such a shame. Feel my pain.” At least they’re printable — unlike the name of a certain ditty by some Bloomingdale housemates who decided to call out Pepco’s lousy customer service in a YouTube video. (Google “How hard can it be Pepco.”)

The two songs seem to be forming the basis of a new artistic movement in Washington. It’s not really protest music; it’s complain music.

And it’s pretty darned catchy.

>[Wh ÉH[Zb_d[Ê You can hear I’m A Circle perform “Redline” live at Friday night’s EP release party at Chief Ike’s Mambo Room ($5, 8 p.m.; 1725 Columbia Road NW), or listen to a recording at Cdbaby.com/cd/imacircle.

:ekXb[ Kf0 The Dulles Toll Road is about to get more expensive — the : only question is by how much. The toll is likely to increase by 50 cents at the start of 2013 and could increase almost an additional $2 in the next two years. s By 2015, a one-way trip from the Capital Beltway to Washington Dulles International Airport could cost as much as $4.50 — double the current one-way toll t of $2.25. Some of the new revenue will be used to service MWAA’s existing debt; the main reason for the increase is to help fund construction of the Silver Line, which will run from Washington to Dulles and on into Loudoun County.

Issa Proposes Hearing On D.C. Commuter Tax A leading House Republican is proposing a hearing on the possibility of the District of Columbia taxing people who work in the district but live elsewhere.

The District is barred under the Home Rule Act from imposing a commuter tax. But according to The Washington Post, Rep. Darrell Issa of California noted Thursday that the District is the only place in the country with such a restriction, and he says it’s worth examining in a hearing. (AP) 87BJ?CEH;" C:$

Majority Backs Tax Boost For $250K-Plus Earners A new statewide poll in Virginia shows a clear majority support President Barack Obama’s proposal to let tax breaks lapse for those earning more than $250,000 annually, but half still want his health-care law repealed.

The Quinnipiac University poll’s survey released Thursday shows 59 percent of those surveyed would approve of higher taxes for households earning $250,000 or more if it will help reduce the nation’s budget deficit. (AP)

Residents angry over Pepco slashing trees to minimize outages

C[Wdm^_b[$$$

I_bl[h Ifh_d] The big orange trucks emblazoned with the words “Tree Experts” rumbled into the neighborhood off Connecticut Avenue Tuesday with one mission, one target. Pepco had ordered them to slash limbs from the half-century-old Yoshino cherry trees that line the streets of Rock Creek Woods — part of the utility’s efforts to minimize frequent and sometimes lengthy power outages in Montgomery County.

As the men in hard hats hacked away, Julie Marcis and her husband confronted the crew, pleading with them to stop ruining the trees.

“You feel like your insides are crumbling when you look at what they did,” Marcis said. “You have no control, you can’t do anything, short of throwing yourself in front of one of their trucks to stop them, which I considered.”

The outrage in Rock Creek Woods and elsewhere in Mary-

U.S. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., joined dozens of other Maryland officials Thursday in urging state utility regulators to reject a rate hike for Pepco. In a strongly worded letter to Montgomery County Council President Roger Berliner, D-PotomacBethesda, Van Hollen said Thursday, “This is obviously part of a persistent pattern of underperformance It’s the latest chapter in a longer story about underperformance, and there are a number of steps that need to be taken immediately to address this issue.” VICTOR Z APANA

We’ve done everything we said we were going to do. . . . You see one thing, and it colors everything else.”

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said Thursday, “I think the city is running pretty well.”

Gray declined to comment further on the poll, which found that 54 percent of respondents think the mayor should step down amid the campaign corruption scandal that has saddled his first 18 months in office.

Robert S. Bennett, Gray’s personal attorney, said Thursday that his client “is being treated very unfairly by some in the media and those with their own political agendas.” (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Ross Detwiler was dealing.

The young left-hander, Washington’s fifth starter, worked over the New York Mets for the first six innings. As the frame ended, pitching coach Steve McCatty shot a glance toward manager Davey Johnson, trying to read his mind.

Keep the kid in? Or call it a day? “Don’t look at me like that,” Johnson said. “He’s only thrown 68 pitches.”

Detwiler stayed in Tuesday, but he was done after seven shutout innings and 86 pitches, still a relatively paltry sum. A night later, Jordan Zimmermann lowered his ERA to 2.35, best among Nationals starters, with six shutout innings and 95 pitches.

For all the success of baseball’s stingiest starting rotation, Johnson has rarely hesitated to pull a starter with pitches to spare. Only No. 4 starter Edwin Jackson has thrown a complete game this season. No other Nationals starter has recorded an out in the eighth inning.

Johnson says his handling of a pitching staff has changed little since he began managing in 1984.

He relies mostly on what he sees. Is the pitcher still hitting his spots? Are hitters taking better swings after two or three times through the batting order? He says he has no problem letting a pitcher throw up to 120 pitches in a game, but no National has done so this season.

Only 28 times in the first 90 games has a starter thrown 100 pitches. Only three teams have

Nats pitching coach Steve McCatty talks with Gio Gonzalez, an All-Star starter who has yet to throw a complete game this year.

8_] I[h_[i _d :$9$ When this weekend’s four-game set with the Atlanta Braves concludes, the Nationals will have 68 games remaining, far too many to start ordering champagne bottles. Still, the opportunity exists for the Nats to build a sizeable lead over the second-place Braves, who enter Friday 3.5 games back.

Nationals players aren’t getting caught up in the pennant race yet, but they are well aware of the statement they could make this weekend. “They’re a good team and they can win a lot of games, so we want as big a cushion as possible,” left-hander Ross Detwiler said. D.T. hit that mark fewer times. Johnson has most often erred on the side of caution, rather than risk letting a tired starter work himself into a jam. Or worse.

“I probably am a little more Captain Hook in this day and time,” Johnson said. “Everybody, almost to a man in baseball, is bringing the

pitch count down to avoid injury.”

And though the team is closely monitoring Stephen Strasburg, in his first year back from an elbow injury that predates Johnson’s tenure, the Nationals have been extraordinarily healthy. No member of the current rotation has missed time due to injury, though Chien-Ming Wang

has been on the disabled list twice with lower-body ailments.

The success of the bullpen has made Johnson’s cautious approach more palatable. Before the arrival of Drew Storen off the disabled list Thursday, five of the seven relievers on the staff as of Thursday had sub-3.00 ERAs. Two had ERAs below 2.00. And though Washington’s starters rarely pitch deep in games, it’s also nearly unheard of for them to pitch fewer than five innings (as Gio Gonzalez did Thursday against the Mets).

“I actually have more relievers to go with this kind of starting capability than innings,” Johnson said. “I don’t think we’re talking that big a drop-off when I make a change.” DEREK TURNER (FOR E XPRESS)

With veteran right back Robbie Russell out with a foot injury for the foreseeable future, it’s Chris Korb’s time to slide up the depth chart beginning Saturday for D.C.’s game at the Columbus Crew.

A second-year fullback out of the University of Akron, Korb is expected to be thrust into the starting lineup, something that’s not completely foreign to him. He started 12 games as a rookie and has pitched in this season with 11 appearances (seven starts).

“It’s always a difficult spot as a young guy to be in and out of the lineup and stay with your rhythm, especially when you haven’t had a

lot of reserve games,” D.C. coach Ben Olsen said. “He’s a gamer, and he’ll be fine.”

A three-year starter at Akron

who transferred there after a year at Xavier, Korb hails from Gates Mills, Ohio, about 150 miles north of Columbus, so his playing

time Saturday will carry an added degree of significance.

“I always love going back to Ohio,” said Korb, who started D.C.’s game at Columbus last October. “As soon as the schedule came out, this is one of the games that you circle.”

Though the experienced Russell is hard to replace, Korb does get involved in the attack more and offers a different dynamic. He has one assist this season and three for his career, and his crossing ability is underrated.

“He gets forward pretty well and has qualities that Robbie doesn’t, so that’s a good thing,” Olsen said.

Gonzalez, Nationals Have a Day to Forget J^[ DWj_edWbi Clunkers, once a common and expected occurrence, had become an endangered species for the Nationals. They assembled a pitching staff that often dominated, kept them competitive every day and never turned a midweek matinee into a wasted afternoon.

But those days lurk for every team, no matter their place in the standings. Thursday afternoon, Gio Gonzalez took the mound for a pitcher’s duel and turned in an

outing to forget.

In a showdown with New York Mets ace R.A. Dickey for the major league lead in wins, Gonzalez suffered his worst start in a Nationals’ uniform.

Gio Gonzalez didn’t get out of the fourth inning against the Mets on Thursday.

als lost a chance to sweep, David Wright smashed two homers and Gonzalez skulked off the mound after 68 pitches.

Gonzalez established himself as an early season Cy Young candidate and made the All-Star team, but in the past month he has fallen well off that torrid pace. In his last nine starts, a span that started June 3, Gonzalez has a 4.93 ERA. In a positive, Drew Storen worked a perfect ninth inning in his first outing of the year for the Nats.

Built in 1894, the Cairo — a 12-story “skyscraper” that so unnerved 19th-century Washingtonians it inspired the District’s building height limits — towers over Dupont Circle.

In October 2011, a couple of history buffs — attorney Kody Silva and his partner, Jeff Taylor — walked by the building and fell in love with its Egyptian-inspired façade, which features elaborate carvings of elephants and gargoyles.

That December, they saw an ad on Craigslist for a studio in the Cairo (1615 Q St. NW, 202-232-4020). Taylor called the property manager and then relayed this message to Silva: “If we want it, we have to get a deposit in by noon.”

They raced to the Metro, handed over a certified check at exactly 11:40 a.m. and CONTINUED ON R3

The Cairo was built in 1894 as a hotel. After a mid-20th century refurbishment, it now contains 169 condominium units, some of which are rented out.

Historic Rentals Continued from page R1

signed a one-year lease. It wasn’t until three days later that they saw the unit for the first time.

Historic buildings and neighborhoods are so popular in the D.C. area that eager renters often run their own version of “The Amazing Race” to snag a piece of the past.

Knowing where to look and what to look for can make these properties easier to grab.

“Acting fast is important,” says Buck Waller, president of Yarmouth Management, which specializes in leasing homes in historic Capitol Hill. But don’t act too fast: “Make sure the place is maintained properly,” Waller says.

Silva, 30, and Taylor, 32, were fortunate to love their new home, but Waller warns that renters should always see the property before signing anything. They should also include agreed-upon repairs or renovations in the lease. “Everyone has selective hearing,” when it comes to repair requests, he says.

Craigslist (Craigslist.org) and The Washington Post Real Estate listings are two of the most common resources for finding sublets, but historic-home hunters can also find gems by walking around neighborhoods with an eye out for For Rent signs and by talking to doormen.

Check out well-known historic districts such as Dupont Circle, Capitol Hill and Georgetown. Waller also recommends Adams Morgan and Logan Circle, as well as up-and-comers Petworth and LeDroit Park. Or look for a historic building devoted to rentals.

FYI

Is Your Home Historic?

Wondering if your building has been officially designated as historic?

Go to the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places (Nps.gov/nr) to find out. The National Register website is also the place to get your home officially designated historic. The building must be old enough to be considered historic (age varies but usually at least 50 years old). It must look as it did in the past, and it must be significant in some way — in its architecture, engineering design or association with a famous person or event. (TK)

Ave. NW, 202-298-8300, albantowers .com), which was built in 1929, housed Frank Sinatra and Bette Davis when they were in town for John F. Kennedy’s 1961 inauguration. The KennedyWarren (3133 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-234-9100, kennedywarren.com), built in the 1930s, has been home to both President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton A management company such as Yarmouth (Yarmouthm.com) can help with the search. Its website is updated daily with listings in historic buildings such as the Lenox School Condomini-

ums (725 5th St. SE) — a converted school building from the 1800s — and the Car Barn (1400 E. Capitol St. NE) — an 1896 streetcar depot turned condo.

Jennifer Proctor, an association executive, lived in a Victorian-era English basement on Capitol Hill for three years. She and her husband then bought a Victorian home near Eastern Market and became landlords themselves. Proctor says the quality of English basements varies greatly, but you can find beautifully kept apartments with sunlight, new appliances and maybe even a patio.

“Look in the corners and closets,” she says. “Look at the appliances. If it’s not well cared for, the landlord is probably just out for the money.”

Make sure the landlord has a Certificate of Occupancy for the English basement, says Coldwell Banker Realtor Chuck Burger. A certificate means the unit has been inspected and “deemed electronically and mechanically sufficient,” he says. If a city inspector discovers you are leasing a basement without a certificate, the landlord will face penalties, and you might end up having to look for a new home.

Why are renters so eager to find historic homes? Peter Sefton, a historic preservationist, has a theory: “As a renter, you feel a little bit impermanent, and the historic home can give you a bit of permanence.”

$1,825

Surrounded by a leafy green courtyard, this 930-square-foot onebedroom has space to spare. A walk-though kitchen has a dishwasher, but the appliances are a bit old. A dining nook opens onto a massive living room, with floor to ceiling windows along one wall. They open onto a roomy balcony. Since the first floor of this building is one level up (above a glass-walled lobby), you can sit on the balcony to look over the green spaces, or watch the sun set over nearby Arena Stage.

From outside, this massive brick building is a bit imposing. But the living room of this 690-square-foot one-bedroom is cozy, with a back-facing bay window and hardwood floors. A separate kitchen area (accessible through an elegant archway) has limited counter space but room for a table.

The bedroom is a bit dark but boasts a walk-in closet and bathroom with pretty black and white checkered tile.

There’s also a gym and roof deck with views of Meridian Hill Park and the Washington Monument. Contact: Patrick Reardon, Reardonrealestate@gmail.com AMANDA ERICKSON (FOR E XPRESS)

cuts. It’s gnawing meat off a bone.

What’s more caveman?

Why do some towns not have good ’cue?

As Topol would have said in “Fiddler on the Roof ” — tradition.

Great barbecue is not meant to be available everywhere. It’s local and regional. I don’t go to Boston, to New York to eat barbecue. It’s one of our last local and regional foods.

Steven Raichlen BBQ PRO, RIB MAN, BALTIMORE NATIVE Born in Japan and raised in Baltimore, Steven Raichlen took his French literature degree and somehow turned into one of the world’s foremost experts on barbecue. The host of PBS’ “Primal Grill” and author of 28 cookbooks — including “The Barbecue Bible” and his latest, “Best Ribs Ever” ($14, Workman Publishing) — will discuss the history of firing up the grill at a lecture Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. at the Library of Congress’ James Madison Building (First St. SE, between Independence Ave. and East Capitol St.; 202-707-1205).

How’d you get from French lit to barbecue pit?

To make a long story short, when I graduated from Reed [College], I won a Watson Fellowship. I pro-

posed to study medieval cooking in Europe. I studied the intersection of cooking, history and culture.

I’ve been doing it ever since.

How soon after fire was created did man and woman figure out how to barbecue?

I would say it was simultaneous.

My theory how it happened — we’re talking about 1.8 million years ago — is that a forest fire swept through the woods, caught a bison, somebody tasted it and then somebody uttered the first grunt of gastronomical pleasure.

Yeah, there’s something primal for us — millennia later — about barbecuing, isn’t there?

The book I’m on tour with now is “Best Ribs Ever.” The rib is the most iconic and most primal of all

ÇJ^[ h_X _i j^[ ceij _Yed_Y WdZ ceij fh_cWb e\ Wbb Ykji$ ?jÊi ]dWm_d] c[Wj eú W Xed[$ M^WjÊi ceh[ YWl[cWd5È Is there barbecue history in D.C.?

George Washington was a big barbecue devotee. He writes about barbecue in his diaries, including one that took place in Alexandria for three days. And when the cornerstone of the Capitol was laid, they celebrated with a barbecue on the Mall.

You grew up in Baltimore.

Is there a Baltimore specialty?

Pit beef, and it’s centered around Pulaski Highway. It’s a piece of chop round, grilled over charcoal, thinly sliced and served with horseradish on a kaiser roll. If you think about the 20 great regional barbecue dishes in North America, I’d say pit beef is one.

This time of year, everyone wants to grill corn. How do you do it?

There is only one right way: With the husk off. Cooking with the husk on is like having an intimate act through a protective membrane.

Visions of the “Mad Men” epoch haunt Ed Rudock and Mark Johnson’s midcentury trove, a recent transplant from 14th Street. The glasswindowed, exposed-brickwalled main level grooves with housewares like tiki-freaky rattan bar stools (two for $170), teak credenzas ($395 and up), colorful highball glasses and a paint-bynumber portrait of a geisha ($95). Don’t miss the basement, where vintage menswear — a Kelly green dinner jacket ($60), lots of fedoras — lets customers dress to match their surroundings.

You enter this Petworth stalwart — open in the nabe since 1986 — under a checkered stained-glass window, but the fanciness ends there. This is a junk shop — dusty and simple — but those who risk the grime and dig through a lot of stock can unearth cheap and quirky stuff like gilded mirrors ($23), a wheezing Olivetti typewriter ($37) and unusual light fixtures. “I’ve sold everything from old furniture to moose bones,” says owner Bill Sims.

The spot, known for its bizarreyet-fab juxtapositions — a glossy wooden armoire ($387) topped with an Army trunk k ($67) capped with a rusty birdcage ($15) — relocated to 16th Street Heights earlier this is year. The bright storefront with a slightly musty basement recalls the original with classic to downright weird stuff like a taxidermied fox ($327) and a banjo ($87).

Mirrors and small tables are a strength.

Since 1997, curly-haired, horn rim-wearing Pixie Windsor has reigned as a sort of vintage fairy godmother in D.C. Her shop, first in Adams Morgan, now in Logan, stars Victorian sofas ($300), 1950s patio chairs ($45) and enough unusual accessories to fuel a thousand cocktail party chats. “I’ve sold a cat coffin and prototypes of a kayak,” laughs Windsor. “People just want something that no one else has.” The stock behind the pink façade at her 4,000-squarefoot lair includes both the practical (twin green lamps, $140; bookcases) and the wacky (a chair upholstered with fabric depicting “The Last Supper,” $75).

‘The Hobbit’ director shuns Hollywood’s superhero spectacles F[hiedWb_j_[i Peter Jackson doesn’t think he’ll ever get into the superhero business.

The filmmaker behind “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and the upcoming prelude “The Hobbit” said superheroes may rule in Hollywood, but he has no interest in doing a comicbook adaptation himself.

“I’ve never actually read a comic in my life,” Jackson says. “That’s a lie. I did read ‘The Walking Dead’

@WYaiedÊi De Ikf[hcWd in the last year or two, which I thoroughly enjoyed. But I’ve never read a superhero comic. I’ve literally never turned a single page of a single superhero comic.”

In that regard, Jackson’s out of step with Hollywood’s current moneymakers. This summer’s big films so far have been the superhero ensemble “The Avengers” and “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Jackson’s a master of action spectacles himself, so he’s not going to knock superhero flicks. He’s in favor of whatever it takes to keep people coming out to the movies at a time when technology has given them endless entertainment options.

And if right now, it’s superhero movies, so be it.

“You’re dealing with a situation in which the audience votes with its bums, as they say,” Jackson says. “We’ve got to make films that get kids off their iPads and away from their home entertainment systems and back into the cinemas again.”

He says he wishes studios would make room for more lower- and midbudgeted films, the sort of intimate, personal stories that were a Hollywood mainstay before the blockbuster era took hold a few decades ago.

“Variety is the thing, isn’t it?”

Jackson says. “It would be a shame if cinema was just superheroes and nothing else. So the real problem is the lack of those midbudget films.”

An Epic Success First, I promise I won’t have ANY “The Dark Knight Rises” spoilers in this column.

I’m nice like that. Also, it’s no spoiler to say the film, which opens Friday, clocks in at a hefty two hours and 40 minutes (and that’s without previews).

A movie that long often gets described as “epic,” because people forget “epic” and “long” are not, in fact, synonyms. This film is an epic, though, and not just because you have to make sure you pee before finding your seat.

“The Dark Knight Rises” tells the story of a hero whose deeds shape the very culture of a society. Within the story space, that culture is Gotham City’s, but what director Christopher Nolan has done with this final piece of his trilogy is expand the scope of 8o Ah_ij[d Batman’s reach into our own society. The entire film is a (sometimes FW][#A_hXo heavy-handed) political allegory on the questions of property, identity, loyalty and responsibility.

A long movie isn’t necessarily an epic — look at “Gone With the Wind,” which is a million years long but manages to sidestep any serious consideration of questions like, “Should people own other people?” “Rises” is an epic in the classical sense: It asks big questions in big ways, and that has to take some time.

Christopher Nolan’s epic Batman trilogy comes to an end with a grandiose finale <_bc H[l_[m The chief question to be answered regarding “The Dark Knight Rises,” Christopher Nolan’s deliriously anticipated final installation of his Batman films, isn’t “Is it any good”? or even “Is it a Best Picture contender”?

The question, rather, is does “The Dark Knight Rises” soar to the thematic and stylistic heights reached by its predecessor, “The Dark Knight”?

Does it clear a bar set by Nolan and his star, Christian Bale, who have infused the franchise with vigor, visual depth and solemnity heretofore unseen in mere comic-book movies?

Most important, does it achieve the impossible, which is to bring a cher-

ished cinematic chapter to a close, yet manage to leave fans feeling not desolate but cheered? The answer is an unequivocal yes. Nolan, together with the team he’s been working with so profitably since 2005’s “Batman Begins,” has made a completely satisfying movie, one steeped enough in self-contained mythology to reward hard-core fans while giving less invested viewers a rousing, adroitly executed piece of popcorn entertainment.

“The Dark Knight Rises” looks terrific, too, from its handsome, uncluttered production design and subtle costumes to impressively staged stunts that unfold with taut lucidity.

In fact, “The Dark Knight Rises” starts off with just such a set piece, a nervy piece of midair showmanship in which the movie’s villain, a terrorist thug named Bane (Tom Hardy), hijacks a CIA plane. Masked and alarmingly well-muscled, Bane makes almost immediately for Gotham City, where

Hewing faithfully to Batman’s libertarian leanings, the film becomes an almost spiritual parable of anti-populism and unshakable faith in law, order and the morally superior wisdom of the One Percent.

But ultimately, “The Dark Knight Rises” is all about The One: If the Batman trilogy has celebrated anything, it has been the unfettered power of the individual over an ungrateful rabble, a vigilante ethic that may have gone underground in “The Dark Knight” but that has never been critically questioned. Viewers will have plenty of time to argue those philosophical implications now that Nolan’s trilogy has wrapped.

J^[ ?C7N ;nf[h_[dY[ <_bc Batman has all the gadgets Bruce Wayne’s resources can buy, but he doesn’t have one thing nearly every other summer blockbuster has: 3-D. Director Christopher Nolan made the 2-D vs. 3-D choice easy for fans of “The Dark Knight Rises.” Nolan is not a fan of digital 3-D, which essentially has turned a fleeting 1950s cinema gimmick into a multimillion-dollar value-added tax on fans who decide they want to put on the glasses and see a film with the illusion of depth.

“The question of 3-D is a very straightforward one,” Nolan says. “I never meet anybody who actually likes the format, and it’s always a source of great concern to me when you’re charging a higher price for something that nobody seems to really say they have any great love for.”

The choice this week as “The Dark Knight Rises” opens is wheth-

Nolan shot nearly half of his Batman finale using bulky IMAX cameras, whose frame is about 10 times the size of a standard movie camera.

Bruce Wayne (Bale) has been living in wounded seclusion for the past eight years since he took the rap for killing a city hero named Harvey Dent.

FbWo_d] THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (PG-13, 138 minutes) “The Amazing Spider-Man” has been billed as a reboot of the SpiderMan franchise. The not-so-great news is that by “reboot,” the studio means taking audiences once again through every step of Peter’s transformation, including the fateful mutant spider bite, an equally pivotal incident involving his beloved uncle and those first wobbly forays discovering his superhuman powers. The result is that, for its first hour, it subjects viewers to an origin story they may already know. Thankfully, things pick up considerably once Peter dons the famous skintight suit, first as an urban avenger on a personal mission, then doing battle with a super-monster called, appropriately, the Lizard. While fans of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies may find themselves wondering whether they really need such an exhaustive refresher, they’ll also no doubt accept Andrew Garfield as the latest iteration of one of Marvel Comics’ most iconic figures.

After dispatching her suitors at an archery competition, Merida embarks on an adventure that pivots around the fractured relationship with her mom. As refreshing as it is to see family dynamics, rather than romance, define the fulcrum of the story, the tale that unfolds isn’t the most sophisticated of the Pixar canon.

Previous “Ice Age” installments drew inspiration from our planet’s climate changes, and “Continental Drift” is no different. Here, fissures caused by volcanic fault lines separate franchise regulars Sid, Diego and Manny from the latter’s family — wife, Ellie, and teenage daughter, Peaches. Efforts to reunite at a sinking land bridge force Manny and crew to battle a menacing ape who rules the Seven Seas from his pirate-ship-shaped iceberg. “Continental Drift” does fall victim to an avoidable sequel trap by adding too many new faces at the expense of existing characters.

What “Continental Drift” lacks in character development, however, it makes up for in visual wizardry. SEAN O’CONNELL MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED (PG, 93 minutes) The third outing in the popular series of animated adventures about Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo may be the best of the bunch.

To escape from Monaco — where our heroes have traveled from Africa searching for the airplane they hope will take them home — an order is given to shake the Monte Carlo animal control officer who is determined to stop them from leaving. A parade of laughs? That, you expect. What’s really surprising about

THE TOMBSTONES

STARTS TODAY

New Yorkers always complain about rats and bugs on the subway, but when “The Amazing Spider-Man” starts crawling on cars, suddenly everyone is OK with it.

“Madagascar 3” is just how moving it ultimately is, largely because of the emotionally engaging character animation. M.O. MAGIC MIKE (R, 110 minutes) A mellow, low-slung charm propels Steven Soderbergh’s film, which stars Channing Tatum as a stripper and is partly based on Tatum’s real-life experience. Tatum plays the title character, now 30, who for years has been a headline act at a Tampa strip club. When Mike meets a 19-year-old college dropout, he takes the young man under his wing and introduces him to the easy money, flowing booze and nonstop booty calls of his lifestyle. It tells a simple story of a young man finding himself, an older mentor reconsidering his life and discovering love, and the enduring power of a buff-and-bronzed hottie gyrating in a spangled codpiece. No moralizing, no deeper meanings — just a good, old-fashioned cinematic hen party. A.H. MOONRISE KINGDOM (PG-13, 93 minutes) “Moonrise Kingdom” opens with no music — just the sound of raindrops falling on the roof of a preternaturally cozy house, which the camera gently leads the audience through. As explained by a nameless narrator, “Moonrise Kingdom” will chronicle the adventures of Sam and Suzy, each of whom is woefully misunderstood by the adults in his or her life. As he’s done in all of his films, Wes Anderson confects a distinctive mix of arch humor and solemnity in “Moonrise Kingdom,” in which Sam and Suzy confront death, abandonment and burgeoning sexuality in very real terms, but in which either can also be struck by lightning without suffering anything worse than a pair of sooty glasses. A.H. SAVAGES (R, 130 minutes) A candy-colored black valentine to titillation, garish brutal-

ity and groovy post-fin-de-siecle excess, this ode to cinema’s most exploitative pleasures finds Oliver Stone chronicling America’s dark side at its most sun-kissed.

As O explains in the detached, SoCal voiceover that threads through the film, she has been living in a blissed-out menage a trois in Laguna Beach with Chon and Ben, marijuana dealers who grow the best product in the country. When they come into the sights of a Mexican cartel, O is kidnapped and they become embroiled in a battle. Casting Ben and Chon’s struggle as a mom-and-pop operation against a bigbox store, the director manages to make an otherwise throwaway crime story chime with real-time politics, from the recession to the recent victory of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in Mexico. A.H. TED (R, 106 minutes) If you’ve seen the trailers for “Ted,” you’re hip to its high-concept premise: A little boy named Johnny Bennett gets a cuddly teddy bear for Christmas and, after making a wish, the bear begins to talk; 20 years later, Johnny (Mark Wahlberg) and Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) live together as roomies, generally avoiding the bothersome business of growing up.

MacFarlane, the genial wisenheimer behind the animated television series “Family Guy,” has created a universe based largely on the same humor of that show, making “Ted” a probable hit with those viewers. “Ted” may be best enjoyed while enjoying the same mind-altering substances its protagonists ingest in such copious doses. Once the novelty wears off, though, so does the buzz. A.H.

In our opinion, patios are for afternoon drinking. But if you care more about your liver than that, try reserving a space in Poste’s Pilates on the Patio class.

“Mad Men” earned a leading 17 Emmy nominations Thursday and the chance to set a new record as the most-honored drama in television history.

The AMC series, which has been named best drama series four times and is tied for the all-time mark with “Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law” and “The West Wing,” received a fifth bid in the category.

“American Horror Story,” a nightmarish saga about a haunted house, received a matching 17 nominations in the miniseries or movie category.

Other leading nominees include the elegant British-borne soap opera

“Downton Abbey,” which earned 16 bids, and two miniseries, “Hatfields & McCoys,” with 16, and “Hemingway & Gellhorn,” with 15.

“Modern Family,” honored as best comedy series for the past two years, was the sitcom leader with 14 bids and practically ran the table in supporting actor nods.

Competition for “Mad Men” and “Downton Abbey” includes national security drama “Homeland,” Prohibition-era crime saga “Boardwalk Empire,” teacherturned-drugmaker tale “Breaking Bad” and the elaborate fantasy “Game of Thrones,” based on George R.R. Martin’s novels.

“Modern Family” faces off against “Girls,” “Veep,” “The Big Bang Theory,” “30 Rock” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” for best comedy series.

The Emmys are scheduled to air Sept. 23 on ABC. LYNN ELBER (AP)

“It’s easy to do something stupid.

It’s harder to publicly apologise and own up to it. In the past 24 hours, nerd rap superstar MC Chris has managed to do both.”

— Luke Plunkett at KOTAKU.COM reacts to the mature reply provided by MC Chris, who offered a video apology to a blogger whom he threw out of a show in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. The blogger had posted a negative tweet about an opening act on MC Chris’ tour.

“Oregon has earned the title of best state in the US. Well, not officially, but a new PSA aimed at kids and dental hygiene has certainly put them in the running. … By far, the best attempt at getting kids to brush their teeth I’ve ever seen.”

The Congress of Confederate States, the legislative body of the Confederate State of America, convenes in Richmond, Va.

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: Don’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.
