Partial FAA Shutdown Continues Failure to reach deal may cost government an estimated $1.2B

J_Ya[j JWn H[\kdZi

MWi^_d]jed A partisan stalemate that has partially shut down the Federal Aviation Administration will continue into September, stopping airport construction projects and depriving federal coffers of potentially more than $1 billion in uncollected ticket taxes, after congressional attempts to reach a deal fell through on Tuesday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., initially told reporters that he would be willing to accept a House Republican bill to restore the FAA’s operating authority even though it contained cuts in subsidies for rural air service that some Democrats oppose. But he later reversed course after a possible deal with House Republicans had fallen through. The Senate was due to leave for its August recess Tuesday. The House left Monday. “Republicans are playing reck-

less games with airline safety,” Reid said. “We should not let ideology interfere with making sure that Americans’ air travel runs as smoothly and safely as possible.” The FAA’s operating authority expired on July 23, as well as the authority of airlines to collect about $30 million a day in ticket taxes, meaning the government will be unable to collect an estimated $1.2 billion in taxes if the shutdown

continues until lawmakers return to work next month. Nearly 4,000 FAA employees have been laid off, and stop-work orders have been issued for more than 200 construction projects. Air traffic controllers have remained on the job, and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has vowed that safety won’t be compromised and travelers won’t be inconvenienced. Republicans blame Democrats

US Airways Group Inc. says it will offer direct refunds of ticket taxes that travelers paid before the taxes lapsed on July 23. The taxes can add up to $60 or more on a $300 round-trip ticket. The taxes stopped when the Federal Aviation Administration partially shut down. Travelers who bought tickets before the shutdown but flew during it are due a refund. Some airlines have been telling travelers to ask the IRS for a refund. The IRS has asked airlines to refund the money directly. Delta said on Monday that it would offer direct refunds. (AP)

for the shutdown, saying they have been unwilling to accept minor cuts to a rural air services program long criticized as wasteful. But Democrats said the air services cuts were being used as leverage to force them to give in to the House on a labor provision in a separate, long-term FAA funding bill that would make it more difficult for airline workers to unionize.

we’re drifting.” The spending decline in June came after a report last week that the economy grew at an annual rate of less than 1 percent in the first six months of the year — the slowest since the end of the Great Recession in June 2009. Tuesday’s report showed that by June, Americans had only grown more cautious. They are faced with high unemployment, stagnant pay, sliding home values and other challenges. The government said consumer spending dropped 0.2 percent in June. It was the first decline since September 2009. Consumer spending fuels about 70 percent of economic growth. T he e c onomy adde d ju s t 18,000 jobs in June, the fewest in nine months, and the unemployment rate is 9.2 percent, the highest all year. The government will issue the July figures Friday.

Egypt on the Cusp of Mubarak’s Trial Nation waits to see its ousted leader in the defendants’ cage 9W_he On Wednesday, former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak is expected to appear inside an iron cage, the centerpiece of a makeshift courtroom and a powerful reminder of how much has changed since his ouster nearly six months ago. As the proceedings are broadcast live, millions in the country will be riveted. “It’s a decisive moment in the history of the Egyptian people, to

see this ousted president behind the prosecution cage after seeing him portrayed as a divine figure on television for decades,” said Mahmoud el-Khodairy, a former judge who is a critic of Mubarak. The ex-leader is accused of graft and of ordering the killing of nearly 900 demonstrators who took to the streets during the 18-day uprising that ended on Feb. 11. Many Egyptians have tired of the country’s interim military leadership, led by Mubarak’s longtime defense minister, Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, and have voiced doubt in recent months that the trial would go forward. But the military rulers, under growing pres-

3 Sentenced to Death For Attack at Church

An Iraqi court sentenced three men to death Tuesday for a church siege in Baghdad on Oct. 31 that killed 68 people in one of the most horrific attacks on the nation’s Christian minority. Officials said the men were found guilty of masterminding the attack, when al-Qaeda militants held worshippers hostage before detonating explosives belts. (AP) HANI MOHAMMED/AP

Syrian troops tightened their siege on the city of Hama on Tuesday, sending residents fleeing for their lives and drawing a fresh wave of international condemnation against a regime defying the growing calls to end its crackdown on anti-government protesters. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with U.S.-based Syrian democracy activists. The Obama administration is weighing new sanctions on Syria, as the death toll from two days of military assaults on civilians Sunday and Monday neared 100. Italy became the the first European Union country to pull its ambassador to Syria as the regiume continued its push against protesters. The mounting international outcry has had no apparent effect so far in Syria, and, as expected, fresh protests erupted Monday evening across the country. (AP)

after [Mubarak’s] fall, have they had time to gather the evidence in this case?” Moving ahead quickly with the trial also carries risks, analysts and human rights groups said. They argue that Mubarak’s abuses lasted 30 years, but his trial will cover a few corruption charges and his conduct during the revolution. Still, a poll conducted this spring by the International Republican Institute, a nonprofit group, showed that Egypt’s court system had higher approval ratings among Egyptians than political parties, the independent media, the business community or state-run media.

Agency director tries to balance innovation with traditional style MWi^_d]jed Terry Bellamy walks to work. On days when he has meetings farther than a couple of blocks from the D.C. Department of Transportation’s offices atop the Navy Yard Metro station, he might grab one of Capital Bikeshare’s ubiquitous red bikes. On rare occasions, he’ll drive. Bellamy, who was confirmed last month as the director of the DDOT after six months as its inter-

im director, said his style of travel is becoming more common in the District, where almost one-third of the residents don’t own a car. “We are the incubator of the world. Everybody comes to D.C. to see what we are doing,” he said when Mayor Vincent C. Gray, a Democrat, nominated him. Bellamy might soon have to decide whether the city can continue to be an innovator. He’s following the media-savvy tenure of Gabe Klein, a former entrepreneur and extrovert who introduced bikesharing, installed fancy new parking meters and pushed forward the old-school use of streetcars.

change agent like Klein, his old boss, or a more traditional department head as his 27 years of experience in the field hint at, may be dictated by budgets and differing mayoral philosophies. Bellamy “absolutely is forward-thinking and progressive,” Klein said. “The only question is whether he will be allowed to be as innovative as he wants, and whether he will be able to draw in the talent.” The recent loss of several highranking administrators in the 900-employee department made transportation bloggers nervous and wonder whether the DDOT’s era of innovation had ended.

“Today, people don’t stay 30 years in one position,” he said. “Yes, we get talent, and we lose talent. But even as they move on, we stay in contact and they share. They continue to share.”

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell exits the state plane as he arrives at the Virginia Highlands Airport in Abingdon on April 29.

Va.’s Jet-Setter-in-Chief McDonnell racks up miles, costs taxpayers $200K in 17 months H_Y^cedZ" LW$ In his first 17 months in office, Gov. Robert F. McDonnell’s travel in and out of Virginia on the state’s fleet of planes and helicopters cost taxpayers more than $200,000 as he flew for government business, occasionally for political events and sometimes with his family. He has traveled mostly across the state or to the District to speak at conferences or on his monthly call-in radio shows, announce new jobs, attend groundbreakings or hold town hall meetings. In all, McDonnell, a Republican, used two state-owned planes and four helicopters to travel 140 days, generally several flights a day, at a

cost of $228,444 between his Jan. 16, 2010, inauguration and June 9, according to records released by the state in response to Freedom of Information Act requests.

McDonnell is one of 39 governors with access to state-owned planes and one of 24 with available helicopters. And while state aircraft have sometimes made headlines in other states — Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, came under fire after he used a state helicopter to fly to his son’s baseball game — they have been used equally by

Democratic and Republican governors in Virginia. According to t he records, McDonnell once flew with his family to Martinsville for a NASCAR race, where he served as grand marshal. Another time, he and his sons f lew to Winchester, where his daughter Rachel was crowned queen of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. “Being governor is not a desk job,’’ said his spokesman, Tucker Martin. “It takes interaction with constituents statewide and a constant presence during times of celebration and times of mourning.” Brian Moran, chairman of the Democratic Party of Virginia, said the difficult economic times require that McDonnell lead by example. “You would expect some austerity by the governor,” he said.

But he said the department, nonetheless, would now prohibit officers from off-duty jobs at house parties as part of a broader restriction on outside employment that the police force will unveil next month. “When we have a need to take immediate action to ensure that we’re acting in a manner in which the community expects us to act, we’ll take those actions right away,” Davis said.

Stopgap Solution

G 7 What are the immediate effects of the spending cuts? Probably not that much. The deal calls for initial cuts of more than $900 billion in federal agency budgets, but with the bigger cuts coming later in the decade. The Congressional Budget Office says that for next year the cuts amount to only $21 billion out of total spending exceeding $3.6 trillion.

The debt deal sets the stage for a fresh budget brawl in the coming months

With scant time to spare, President Obama signed legislation Tuesday to raise the federal debt limit, avoiding an unprecedented national default that he said would have devastated the U.S. economy. But the truce with Republicans that defused the crisis seemed to be fading already. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do everything in our power to grow this economy and put America back to work,â&#x20AC;? Obama said, arguing for including revenue increases as well as spending cuts. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peace pact between the two parties is unlikely to be long-lived. The bill sets up a 12-member panel of lawmakers with authority to recommend fresh deficit savings from the federal budget. Such politically sensitive benefit programs as Social Security and Medicare will be on the table as the panel of six Republicans and six Democrats works against a Thanksgiving deadline. So, too, an overhaul of the tax code. Congress

will have until Christmas to vote on the recommendations without the ability to make changes. As an incentive for action, failure to do so would trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts. Even before the president signed the legislation, he and Republicans were maneuvering for political position on the next stage.

Congress has frequently turned to commissions or special committees when it is confronted with issues that are just too sensitive or controversial for lawmakers to handle. Often these commissions write reports or make recommendations that Congress promptly ignores, but there have been instances of success.

Why did the negotiators set up a special committee?

The portion of Americans who approve of the job Congress is doing, a new poll found. President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval rating stood at 45 percent.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t balance the budget on the backs of people who have borne the biggest brunt of this recession,â&#x20AC;? Obama said, renewing his call for higher taxes on the wealthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is going to have to chip in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only fair.â&#x20AC;? Senate Republicans say it will not happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m comfortable we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to raise taxes coming out of this joint committee,â&#x20AC;? Senate

President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, below, failed to persuade Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, middle, and the GOP to allow tax increases.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in an interview with Fox on Monday. He conceded that Republicans got only part of what they wanted in the deal, and he pointed to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections as a chance to gain clout. Many Democrats have complained about the concessions Obama made in the deal, and Senate

Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and other Democrats sought immediately to change the subject. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have the chance to pivot away from budget battles to jobs. We can reset the debate, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we intend to do,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second phase begins with the creation of the commit-

The plan would increase the debt limit by $400 billion, with President Obama able to order another $500 billion increase this fall; a third installment of between $1.2 trillion and $1.5 trillion would be made available after enacting additional spending cuts recommended by a panel of lawmakers.

The measure would cut more than $900 billion over 10 years from the day-to-day operations of Cabinet agencies, but caps discretionary spending at $1.043 trillion in 2012, $7 billion below 2011 levels and $44 billion below an inflationadjusted baseline.

The plan would also create a 12-person panel charged with producing up to $1.5 trillion more in deficit cuts over 10 years. This focus of the second wave of spending cuts would include Medicare, Medicaid, farm subsidies and federal retirement programs.

The plan would require the House and Senate to vote on a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution; establish â&#x20AC;&#x153;program integrityâ&#x20AC;? initiatives to halt abuses in Social Security and federal health care programs; and preserve funding increases for Pell grants for college students.

Will this solve the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit and debt problems? Not by a long shot. With the government racking up deficits of more than $1 trillion a year, the prospects for achieving a balanced budget in the near future are dim. Similarly, the national debt, is $14.3 trillion and will grow so long as the government spends more than it raises. (AP)

tee of lawmakers, equally divided between the House and Senate, which will be chosen in the next two weeks. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real price to be paid if the committee deadlocks or if either the House or Senate rejects the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations: the threat of deep, across-the-board spending cuts that would strike GOP priorities like defense and programs for the poor that are priorities for Democrats. However, those cuts wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit until January 2013. Still, the deal is estimated to be enough to avoid a rerun of the current crisis before the 2012 elections. That was Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottomline demand in negotiations, and while Republicans ridiculed him over it, they consented. (AP)

The training camp crowd Monday at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va.

An Empty Feeling

JOHN MCDONNELL/TWP

The Rex Grossman-versus-John Beck battle for the Redskins’ starting quarterback job is about to get under way. Coach Mike Shanahan said Tuesday that Grossman would arrive at Redskins Park later in the day. He had yet to sign a contract, but that was expected to be a mere formality. Cornerback Phillip Buchanon will be suspended for the first four games of the regular season. Shanahan said Tuesday the penalty was issued “awhile back” from the NFL office. The coach did not say why Buchanon was suspended or give any other details. Beck is suffering from some soreness in his throwing arm, Shanahan said. Beck has taken the bulk of the snaps in training camp because he is the only veteran QB eligible to practice. (AP/TWP)

Redskins training camp is failing to draw crowds like it used to J^[ H[Zia_di His autograph cards in hand, 19-year-old Joey Partin was able to walk right up to the wooden burgundy railing and get a prime viewing spot for Monday morning's Redskins training camp practice. No jostling for position. No need to elbow an interloper trying to steal his spot. “Oh, man,” said the 19-year-old from Leesburg, Va., “it used to be a struggle to get these spots.” That’s because the crowd was all of one-deep, if that. Where there once were claustrophobic clusters of humanity, there was instead room to lounge on a blanket or chill out on a deck chair. The picnic tables had plenty of places to sit, and there was no line at the hamburger stand. “It is probably a fifth of what I've seen on a normal day,” said tight end Chris Cooley, who’s starting his eighth season with the team. Monday’s turnout was one of the sparsest — perhaps the all-time smallest — in the 10 years the team

The camp schedule wasn’t released until the NFL officially went back to work a week ago, so the team didn’t have time to do a marketing blitz or set up the usual deals with local hotels for out-of-town visitors. Also, free agency has been such a frenzy that it’s hard to keep up with who’s going to be on the team.

Some fans pointed out that it was a Monday. And that it was hot, with temperatures heading toward the 90s. But the Redskins have held numerous practices on hot August Mondays over the years, and it never seemed to deter the masses.

— TIGER WOODS, WHO SAYS HE IS FEELING 100 PERCENT AHEAD OF THIS WEEK’S BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL, HIS FIRST EVENT SINCE INJURIES SIDELINED HIM.

MARK DUNCAN/AP

Tiger Woods was on the practice range just as the sun began to rise Tuesday over Firestone, his first time on a PGA Tour golf course in nearly three months. Even as the season heads toward a conclusion, Woods can’t wait to get started. “I’m excited to compete, to play,” Woods said. “And, hopefully, to win the tournament.” That part about Woods hasn’t changed. It’s everything else in the world of golf he once ruled that is so much different. Woods showed up at the Bridgestone Invitational at No. 28, his lowest world ranking since the start of his first full season on the PGA Tour. He has a new caddie — at least temporarily — in Bryon Bell, a childhood friend who now heads up a design business that is not getting much work these days with a downturn in the industry.

8WYaijeho Tiger Woods, who was No. 1 in the world at the Bridgestone Invitational a year ago, has not played since he walked off the course after nine holes May 12 at the Players Championship with recurring injuries to his left knee and Achilles’ tendon. He said he injured them during the third round of the Masters while hitting a shot from an awkward stance in the pine straw on the 17th hole. Woods said if he had sat out the rest of May, he would have been fine the rest of the year, a lesson he learned this time around. Woods wasn’t about to return until he was 100 percent healthy, and he is convinced of that now. (AP)

For Woods, however, the biggest change is how he feels about his health. “The great thing is I don’t feel a thing,” Woods said. “It feels solid. It feels stable. No pain.” He said he started hitting balls a couple of weeks ago, without giving an exact date, and that he got the itch to start playing soon after. What gets him excited? “Trying to beat these boys,” Woods said. “That’s fun. Getting out there and trying to win golf tournaments, being there with a chance to win, whether you win or fail. Just being there is just a rush.” DOUG FERGUSON (AP)

Redskins Enter The Twilight Zone In football, you hear a lot about the end zone and the red zone. Players can be in the zone, too. Heck, there’s even something called zone blocking. So zones are pretty much everywhere you look. Perhaps it’s fitting then that the scene at Redskins Park resembles the twilight zone. It’s not so unusual that the biggest acquisitions of the past two offseasons — Albert 8o CWjj Haynesworth and Im[died Donovan McNabb — are gone. After all, the Redskins often strike out when importing big-name players from other teams and then start the process all over again. What is mildly shocking is the absence of stars at training camp.

M^_b[ F^_bWZ[bf^_W if[dj W \ehjkd[ $$$ j^[ H[Zia_di ^WhZbo cWZ[ W ifbWi^$ Coach Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen seemed content to hand over their role as champion of the offseason to the Philadelphia Eagles. While Philadelphia spent a fortune on the likes of Nnamdi Asomugha and Vince Young, the Redskins hardly made a splash. Sure, they signed a bunch of 30-plus-year-old receivers and pried Barry Cofield away from the New York Giants. But that’s nothing compared to years past. It’s no wonder so few fans are at training camp. Maybe that’s for the best. The Redskins will probably find a way to disappoint even with low expectations. Maybe, though, we’re in for a surprise. Washington has certainly taken a different approach. Now the question remains whether it’s fair to zone the team out this year. To reach Matt Swenson, e-mail matt.swenson@readexpress.com

Rockville’s O.A.R. has thrived for 15 years by staying close to its loyal and fervent fans

Makeup Artist Last week, MAC Cosmetics announced a new collaboration with Cindy Sherman, the avant-garde photographer known for styling herself as odd caricatures. Since the ’70s, she’s snapped herself in costume, using cosmetics and prosthetics to morph into mud-caked corpses or Caravaggio figures. In her MAC campaign, heavy-handed stage makeup transforms her into a weary clown, a Park Avenue plastic surgery enthusiast 8o AWj^[h_d[ and a Hitchcock gal on 8eob[ the run. The campaign resembles her art, except that now she’s hawking mainstream products. Some may call Sherman a sellout, but with Christie’s auctioning one of her recent photos for $3 million, the icon doesn’t need a corporate paycheck. Instead, it’s likely these ads are a not-so subtle commentary on a beauty industry that thrives on feminine insecurity. Sherman has always taken makeup to extremes, pushing the limits of appearance. Now, MAC lovers can emulate her defiance. It’s a brilliant campaign, highlighting the versatility of makeup and, perhaps, the rigidity of our own application. Adhering to one standard of beauty does not make good art. Sherman’s learned that the profitable way. Comments? Give Katherine your feedback: expressnightout.com/speaker

The members of O.A.R. could easily walk through Montgomery Mall — five miles south of Rockville’s Wootton High School, where they formed 15 years ago — without being chased, without being asked for a photo, maybe without being noticed. They’re both popular and anonymous. Stealth rock stars. Yet all along, their fans have been devout. Since self-releasing their 1997 debut, “The Wanderer,” while still in high school,

An Education After recording “The Wanderer,” the band decided that it didn’t want its glory days to end on graduation day. It strategized a way to move to Ohio State University in Columbus. “We said, ‘Let’s go to the biggest college we could possibly get into,’” Roberge says. “We weren’t screwing around. We wanted to be in a band. We didn’t want to be famous — we wanted to be in a band together.” C.R.

divide, almost to a fault,” says frontman Marc Roberge, who finds himself in constant touch with fans he barely knows. “Your family’s looking at you like, ‘Who are you texting right now?’ ‘Oh, ya know, it’s Stanley from Detroit.’” The band members — Roberge, drummer Chris Culos, saxophonist/ guitarist Jerry DePizzo, bassist Benj Gershman and guitarist Richard On — have been invited to fans’ weddings — and even attended one. And while O.A.R.’s loyal following has ballooned over the years, the band has never really crossed into the mainstream. The industry, meanwhile, has struggled to define

O.A.R., calling it frat rock, a jam band, a Dave Matthews knockoff — all titles that make these guys cringe. For years, they dubbed themselves “island vibe roots rock,” but it didn’t stick. Nowadays, the only label they embrace is “underdog.” “I haven’t always felt like the industry understands what we are,” Gershman says. “The underdog spot ... it’s always driven us to stay with it and keep redefining ourselves.” CHRIS RICHARDS (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Andy Serkis livens up digital characters in blockbuster movies

— ANDY SERKIS, ON WATCHING THE COMPLETED VERSIONS OF HIS CHARACTERS.

DAN STEINBERG

When the filmmakers behind “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” settled on virtual simians rather than people in monkey suits for their lower primates, their first casting task became obvious: get Andy. British actor Andy Serkis has emerged as a master of the art of creating characters in the digital realm of performance capture. He’s been the emotional backbone of the great ape in “King Kong” and Gollum in “The Lord of the Rings,” creatures that are completed by artists layering computer animation over his raw performance. Serkis, a 20-year veteran of stage and live-action screen roles, has become best-known for his performance-capture characters, which now include a super-intelligent chimpanzee in the “Apes” prequel, opening Friday. When he first did Gollum, the technology was called motion capture. The performance-capture tag came as the tools evolved and filmmakers sought to emphasize that

[nfh[iid_]^jekj$Yec Southern Comfort D.C.’s far enough from the actual South that we can make gentle fun of it with “Steel Magnolias,” a play about a group of women in a small Louisiana town who go through weddings and funerals together, always with outrageous accents and very big hair. The Keegan Theatre at Church Street, 1742 Church St. NW; through Aug. 21, $30-$35; 703-892-0202, Keegantheatre.com. (Dupont Circle)

their actors truly were creating characters, not simply occupying space as placeholders for digital beings painted in later. Serkis does not see himself when he watches his performance-capture characters that were completed by Jackson’s WETA effects outfit. But he does see what he created on the set, wearing a skintight suit covered with reference dots for digital cameras to record his body language. “I totally see the intentions, the facial expressions, the timing, the acting choices. You know, the performance,” Serkis, 47, says. “I know the manifestation of it is eventually not going to look like me, but when the director cuts the movie, they’re cutting the footage of you in the suit, so they live for months and months and months with the performance.” DAVID GERMAIN (AP)

FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE

L_hjkWb H[Wb_ic Chris Collingwood, far left, and Fountains of Wayne return with “Sky Full of Holes.”

<ekdjW_di 7_c <eh j^[ ÉIaoÊ 7bXkc H[l_[m After years of noble semi-obscurity punctuated by one novelty hit (“Stacy’s Mom”), Fountains of Wayne went on a hiatus that sometimes seemed permanent — their new album, “Sky Full of Holes,” is only their second studio release in eight years. Fountains of Wayne albums are usually unimpeachable: poignant and gently ironic, and ridiculously well made. Even the bad ones are pretty good. “Sky” — with its carefully detailed stories of suburban schlubs, feuding bar owners and luckless Acela riders — hits all the right notes, but something feels off.

Slow and sentimental, more wistful than droll, “Sky” is as interested in loping, acoustic country-folk songs as it is in vigorous pop. If the band’s last album, 2007’s “Traffic and Weather,” was a Cars homage, “Sky” is an unofficial tribute to the Jayhawks. It’s not a misfire — one of its gentlest songs, “A Road Song,” is also one of the band’s all-time finest — but those who expect the usual gimlet-eyed power pop (that is to say, most everyone) will be left wondering where it went.

M^[d 7_hb_d[i Bei[ Bk]]W][ The rules vary when it comes to how a carrier deals with lost or pilfered luggage J^[ DWl_]Wjeh Jaime Sigal’s suitcase felt a little light when he picked it up from the conveyor belt in Sao Paolo, Brazil, so he gave the heavy-duty bag a careful once-over. Sure enough, the zipper appeared to have been forced open. Sigal made a beeline for the LAN Airlines counter. Three items were missing: a blazer, a leather jacket and boots, totalling $1,700. Every day, the same scenario repeats itself in airports everywhere. Luggage is lost or pilfered, and airlines do their best — or not — to find or replace it. The problem isn’t just lost luggage; it’s what happens next. The rules vary, depending on where you lost the bag and how long it takes to recover it. After Sigal filed a claim, LAN offered to pay him either $300 or cut him a $600 flight voucher. He refused both. “The reimbursement is not even close to the replacement cost of the items,” he said. Under the Montreal Convention, an international treaty that governs

compensation for the victims of air disasters, Sigal was entitled to a maximum of about $1,800. I suggested that Sigal mention to LAN that its offer came nowhere near what the Montreal Convention calls for. When he did, LAN asked for receipts for the stolen items, which he sent. The airline offered him about $1,800 in flight vouchers, which he accepted.

The number of reports of mishandled luggage from 2010 among domestic airlines, according to the Transportation Department. (AP)

But when luggage is delayed, the rules say that an airline must reimburse passengers for “reasonable” expenses, such as tuxedo rental for a wedding. Effective Aug. 23, new rules will require airlines to refund any fee for checked luggage if the bag is lost. Anticipating the new rule, carriers have become more cautious about how they treat your property. Delta recently introduced a new tracking system for bags that lets you follow your luggage online and presumably will ensure that fewer bags will be “misplaced.” CHR I S TOP HER ELLIOT T (THE WASHINGTON POST )
