Romney Flaunts New Pugnacity Presidential hopeful dramatically shifts gears during debate CWdY^[ij[h" D$>$ An assertive Mitt Romney has emerged in the GOP presidential race. For months the former Massachusetts governor has shown little willingness to assail his Republican competitors, staying above the fray and focusing all of his criticism on President Obama. But in one night, Romney became the most prominent aggressor in a growing effort by the GOP field to derail front-runner Rick Perry. And in in doing so, Romney may have started to ease concern within the GOP establishment over the strength of his candidacy. “Those doubts were erased,” Steve Duprey, a Republican National Committee member from New Hampshire who is unaligned in the race, said Tuesday, a day after a Republican presidential debate in Tampa, Fla., where Romney tested out his on-the-attack approach. “In

Mitt Romney gets assertive during Monday’s Republican debate in Tampa, Fla.

=e_d] 7\j[h F[hho Mitt Romney will get some help in trying to take down Rick Perry. During Monday’s debate, Texas Rep. Ron Paul criticized Perry’s positions on immigration and taxes. Rep. Michele Bachmann went after Perry for trying to require vaccinations for 11- and 12year old girls to prevent a sexually transmitted disease that causes cervical cancer. Perry defended his record, saying it was a mistake to bypass the state legislature to force the vaccines. (AP)

a dominant fashion, he showed he could take and fend off Governor Perry’s blows and at the same time deliver sound, hard-hitting policy criticisms of Governor Perry. After that debate, Romney looked strong. Perry looked dazed.” It’s the beginning of a new phase in Romney’s campaign; aides say the time has come to contrast Romney’s record with those of his opponents and they expect Romney will keep the pressure on Perry. Criticism on issues like immigration, Social Security and jobs is expected. The shift ref lects a growing sense of urgency in Romney’s campaign and others that Perry must be knocked down before he runs away with the nomination. But it’s unclear whether Romney’s shift will resonate with voters. Perry has led in several recent national polls, most recently earning 30 percent to Romney’s 18 percent in a CNN survey. National polling, however, is far less significant than voter sentiment in the early voting states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, which will help shape the race early next year.

What’s killing us? For decades, global health leaders have focused on diseases that can spread — AIDS, tuberculosis, new flu bugs. They pushed for vaccines, better treatments and other ways to control germs that were only a plane ride away from seeding outbreaks anywhere in the world. Now they are turning to a new set of culprits causing what United Nations Secretary-General Ban Kimoon calls “a public health emergency in slow motion.” This time, germs aren’t the target: we are, along with our bad habits such as smoking, overeating and exercising too little. Next week, the U.N. General

<eYki[Z ed <ekh :_i[Wi[i Worldwide, stroke and heart-related diseases account for nearly half of all noninfectious disease deaths — 17 million in 2008 alone, the World Health Organization says. Next is cancer (7.6 million deaths), followed by respiratory diseases such as emphysema (4.2 million). Diabetes caused 1.3 million deaths in 2008, but that’s misleading — most diabetics die of cardiovascular causes. For the meeting next week, the U.N. chose to focus on cancer, diabetes, and heart and lung disease, and their common risk factors: tobacco use, alcohol abuse, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity and environmental carcinogens. (AP)

Assembly will hold its first summit on chronic diseases — cancer, diabetes, and heart and lung disease. Those account for nearly two-thirds of deaths worldwide, or about 36 million, according to the World Health Organization, which released a global scorecard on the prevention of chronic illnesses Tuesday. In the United States, they kill nearly nine out of 10 people. They have common risk factors, such as smoking and sedentary lifestyles, and many are

preventable. Advocates may be struggling to make a difference at the U.N., too. With the global economy in turmoil, finding money to meet any goals could be an even bigger hurdle. “The timing is difficult with the economy the way it is, but it should not prevent us from setting goals,” said Dr. Sidney Smith, who heads the World Heart Federation. “Many of the things we’re proposing cost very little.” MARILYNN MARCHIONE (AP)

Members of a special House-Senate deficit-cutting “supercommittee” urged their colleagues Tuesday to go beyond the panel’s minimum spending-cut target of $1.2 trillion over the coming decade, but the price tag on President Obama’s $447 billion jobs plan is complicating the panel’s work. “We need to ‘go big’ and reach savings of more than $1.5 trillion to address long-term deficits,” said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. “We need to ‘go long’ and address our long-term budget issues. And most importantly of all, we need to ‘go smart’ and address the budget without preconceived dogmas or political agendas.” As the panel convened its sec-

NTSB: Ban Truckers’ Phone Use

Virtual World Research Study

Group wants texting, talking on cell while driving prohibited

Washington, D.C. Area Compensation oﬀered for experienced Guild Wars or Aion participants

Bek_il_bb[" Ao$

SAIC is seeking people with at least 50 hours experience in either Guild Wars or Aion for a study about the association between real world and avatar behavior.

Truckers and other commercial drivers should be banned from talking on the phone and texting when they are behind the wheel, a federal safety agency recommended Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board endorsed the ban during a hearing in Washington after ruling that a truck driver on his phone caused a crash that killed 11 people on a Kentucky interstate in 2010. The board said the ban should include the use of handsfree devices. Kenneth Laymon, 45, of Jasper had just made a one-second call at the time of the March 26, 2010, crash on Interstate 65 near Mun-

The study will consist of a one-hour introductory session at SAIC in Arlington, Va. and a follow-up one-hour game play session online from any location. Participants must be at least 18 years of age. Any identifying information will be kept conﬁdential. For more information, call 703.276.4812 or email us at vwstudy@saic.com

Strong driver’s license laws have led to fewer fatal crashes among 16-year-olds but with a disturbing side effect — more fatal accidents among 18-year-olds, a nationwide study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found. Many states require young drivers to get extensive experience. But in most states, those laws apply only to those younger than 18. The new study suggests some teens are waiting to get a license until they turn 18 — meaning they have little experience and higher odds for a deadly crash. (AP)

widely embraced. This is not going to be popular. But we’re not here to be popular. We’re here to do what needs to be done,” Hersman said. Investigator David Rayburn said Laymon panicked and hit the brakes but didn’t try to steer his tractor-trailer out of the median. The 38-ton truck drove into the oncoming lanes and smashed headon into a van carrying a group of Mennonites to a wedding. Laymon and 10 people in the van were killed in the fiery crash. Two young children in safety seats were the only survivors. The NTSB doesn’t have the power to ban cell calls and texting. It sent its recommendation to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and all 50 states for action. Kentucky is among the 34 states that have barred texting for all drivers, but it doesn’t outlaw cell phone calls behind the wheel.

Militants Attack Shiites, Killing 22 People in Iraq

Wave of attacks call Afghans’ security efforts into question

8WYaijeho

AWXkb" 7\]^Wd_ijWd Teams of insurgents firing rocketpropelled grenades and automatic weapons struck at the U.S. Embassy, NATO headquarters and other buildings in the heart of the Afghan capital Tuesday, raising fresh doubts about the Afghans’ ability to secure their nation as coalition troops begin to withdraw. The militants’ seeming ability to strike at will in the most heavily defended part of Kabul suggested that they may have had help from rogue elements in the Afghan security forces. The attacks also coincided with suicide bombings elsewhere in the capital, the first time insurgents have organized such a complex assault against targets in separate parts of the city. Though the daylight attack resulted in relatively few casualties — seven Afghans were killed and 15 were wounded — it sent foreigners dashing for cover and ter-

Amin, said he thought an affiliated organization, the Haqqani network, carried it out. T he W h ite Hou se sa id it wouldn’t allow Tuesday’s attack to deter the U.S. mission there. Still,

The Taliban and related groups have staged more than a dozen assaults in the capital this year, including three major attacks since June. That represents an increase from years past and is clearly intended to offset U.S. claims of weakening the insurgents on southern battlefields and through hundreds of night raids targeting their commanders.

the U.S. Embassy in Kabul canceled all trips in and out of Afghanistan for its diplomats, and suspended travel within the country. The violence carries an unsettling message to Western leaders and their Afghan allies about the resilience of the Taliban and its affiliates. The U.S. and other foreign troops intend to withdraw from the country by the end of 2014. President Obama has ordered the withdrawal of 33,000 troops by the end of next summer.

Iran Set to Release U.S. Hikers J[^hWd" ?hWd An Iranian court Tuesday set bail of $500,000 each for two American men arrested more than two years ago and convicted on spyrelated charges, clearing the way for their release a year after a similar bail-for-freedom arrangement for the third member of the group, their defense attorney said. Lawyer Masoud Shafiei said the court would begin the process to free Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal after payment of the bail, which must be arranged through third parties because of U.S. economic sanctions on Iran. But the timing of the court’s decision is similar to last year’s deal mediated by the Gulf state of Oman, which freed

8WYaijeho Three Americans — Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal and Sarah Shourd — were arrested in July 2009 along the Iran-Iraq border and accused by Iran of espionage. The trio have denied the charges. Last month, Bauer and Fattal, both 29, were sentenced to three years each for illegal entry into Iran and five years each for spying. They appealed the verdicts. Shourd’s case remains open, though she was freed on bail last year. (AP)

Sarah Shourd. Shafiei said he has passed along details of the court’s decision to the Swiss Embassy, which represent U.S. interests in Iran since there

are no diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in an interview aired on NBC’s “Today” show, predicted the Americans could be freed “in a couple of days” and called the bail offer a “humanitarian gesture.” In Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the United States was “encouraged” by Ahmadinejad’s comments. Ira n may have t i med t he court decision to coincide with Ahmadinejad’s visit this month to New York for the general assembly of the United Nations. Last year, Shourd was released on bail just as Ahmadinejad was heading for the annual gathering of world leaders. (AP)

Povertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anguish Spreads MWi^_d]jed The ranks of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor have swelled to a record 46.2 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly 1 in 6 Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as the prolonged pain of the recession leaves millions still struggling and out of work. And the number without health insurance has reached 49.9 million, the most in over two decades. The figures are in a Census Bureau report, released Tuesday, that offers a somber snapshot of the economic well-being of U.S. households for 2010, when joblessness hovered above 9 percent for a second year. The rate is still 9.1 percent heading into an election year thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure to focus on the economy and President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stewardship of it. The overall poverty rate climbed to 15.1 percent in 2010, from 14.3 percent the previous year, and the rate from 2007-2010 rose faster than for any similar period since the early 1980s, when a crippling energy crisis amid government cutbacks contributed to inflation, spiraling interest rates and unemployment. For last year, the official poverty level was an annual income of $22,314 for a family of four. The poor include Nekisha Brooks, 28, of Fort Washington, Md., who lost her job as a customer service representative for AT&T several months ago in a round of layoffs. Raising five children, she is on food stamps and partly leaning on friends and family for help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard on the kids,â&#x20AC;? Brooks said, describing how her family has had to cut back on clothing and restaurant outings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been putting in job applications every day and calling around, from housekeeping to customer service to admin or waitresses, but nobody seems to be hiring right now.â&#x20AC;?

Census data show a record number of Americans struggle in a flat economy

Maxine Thomas hangs laundry to dry Aug. 14 in her mobile home in Elkridge, Md. Her electricity was shut off by the utility company in June, but the power has since been turned back on. She, her two daughters and three grandsons have been struggling since she lost her job last fall.

tioned that the worst may be yet to come, citing continued rising demand for food stamps this year as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;staggeringly highâ&#x20AC;? numbers in those unemployed for more than 26 weeks. He noted that more than 6 million people are in the category of long-term unemployed and more likely to fall into poverty, accounting for more than two out of five currently out of work. The latest numbers, which cover Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year in office, offer political fodder for both parties as Obama seeks to push a new $447 billion plan for creating jobs and stimulating the economy. The plan includes a proposed Social Security payroll tax cut and an extension of unemployment benefits.

Obama is urging Congress to pay for the new spending largely by increasing taxes on the wealthy, which Republicans have emphatically rejected. On Tuesday, the Census Bureau noted the impact of government safety-net programs on the poor. It estimated that new unemployment benefits passed in 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which gave workers up to 99 weeks of payments after layoffs, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run out for most people until this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lifted 3.2 million above the poverty line. Social Security kept about 20.3 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seniors as well as working-age adults receiving disability payments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; out of poverty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If these programs are cut back in the future, poverty rates are likely to rise even more,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said. (AP)

Ej^[h <_dZ_d]i The poverty rate in the U.S. rose among all racial and ethnic groups, except Asians, the Census Bureau declared in a report released Tuesday:

The share of Hispanics in poverty increased from 25.3 percent to 26.6 percent; for blacks, it rose from 25.8 percent to 27.4 percent; and for whites, it rose from 9.4 percent to 9.9 percent. It remained flat at 12.1 percent for Asians. Child poverty rose from 20.7 percent to 22 percent. Poverty among people 65 and older remained unchanged at 9 percent, after hitting a record low of 8.9 percent in 2009. (AP)

Kd_dikh[Z 7c[h_YWdi ?dYh[Wi[ Wi Fel[hjo B[l[bi H_i[ The 46 million Americans living in poverty are the most on record since the Census Bureau began tracking it in 1959. The 15.1 percent tied the 1993 level, the highest since 1983. The share of Americans without health coverage rose to 16.3 percent, or 49.9 million, from 16.1 percent, the Census Bureau found. The increase was due mostly to continued losses of employer-provided health insurance. (AP)

IcWhJh_f FWoc[dj F_bej ;nfWdZi More passengers will add money to fare cards using Internet C[jhe There will be more riders testing Metro’s new way to upload money to SmarTrip electronic fare cards. The transit agency launched a pilot program in July for riders to test the system to add money using credit and debt cards online. Metro is extending the pilot so that more riders can experience the program and so that the agency can gradually ramp up the system before

it launches later this month, chief spokesman Dan Stessel said. The test program has gone from having 250 participants in June to a total of 150,000 this week, Metro said. The new system is meant to make it “more convenient” for riders to manage the balances on their cards and avoid lines at fare gates and machines, according to a promotion of Metro’s pilot program. The transit agency is running a competition to hire a vendor to develop a new electronic payment system. Metro has put out a request for proposals for a vendor to build a

IW\[jo <_hij Metro is relaunching its safety awareness campaign as part of a regional effort among transit agencies. Metro’s campaign, known for its slogan “See Something, Say Something,” is being done in conjunction with the Maryland Transit Authority (MTA), Virginia Railway Express and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The campaign is being promoted at Securetransit.org. It is meant to be a reminder for customers to speak up if they see a suspicious package or unattended item and report it to authorities, Stessel said. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

program that would use an “open payment system” so that riders could use credit or bank cards directly at fare gates. The technical proposals are due at the end of the month. Several vendors responded to the request for proposals including,

ACS, Accenture, CSC, Cubic, FIS, IBM and Revere Group, according to Metro. The transit authority plans to award the contract in the first quarter of 2012 and phase in the new program from 2014 to 2017. Officials hope the new system

would work with other open payment methods used in surrounding jurisdictions, including Virginia Rail Express (VRE), the City of Alexandria’s DASH bus service, Arlington County Transit (ART), TheBus in Prince George’s County and Ride On buses in Montgomery County. The SmarTrip electronic fare payment cards have been plagued by troubles, with some riders complaining that they stop working or don’t work well in adding passes for bus trips. “SmarTrip is 12 years old,” Stessel said. “It was state of the art when it was introduced. It is still better than many transit systems, but many transit agencies are moving to open payment because it is more convenient for customers.” (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Retired Army Sgt. Maj. Roger Parker, left, visits with FC1 SW/AW Jim Graham (US Navy-Ret) in the Military and Veterans Resource Center at Anne Arundel Community College Sept. 9. Parker, 51, has returned to college to study health, fitness and nutrition.

University Battlefield Veterans on G.I. Bill are having trouble handling campus life 7hdebZ" CZ$ As new students thronged on Anne Arundel Community College on the first day of the semester, some trickled into a tiny office with a big American flag on the wall. They wanted to know when their promised government would aid arrive, how they would for pay for books and housing, and why their reimbursements were short or late. They were part of a wave of hundreds of thousands of students with unique concerns landing in U.S. colleges: military veterans aided by an expanded G.I. Bill. Like Roger Parker, many crave more help on campus navigating

the bureaucracy of government and higher education. “I did everything my country asked of me,” Parker, 51, said. He did three tours in Iraq, two in Afghanistan and one in Bosnia, and he is using the G.I. Bill to study health, fitness and nutrition at the Anne Arundel campus in Arnold.

But Parker also carries around a bill he received from the college for

the difference between the cost of his courses and what the Department of Veterans Affairs paid out. The unexplained shortfall: $6. The sum isn’t what bothers him, he said. It’s the principle. The federal government doesn’t require universities to hire veteran coordinators, but the issue is drawing federal attention. Col. David Sutherland, special assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and director of the Office of Warrior and Family Support at the Pentagon, has been visiting campuses and advocating for veterans to receive more services. “What I’ve found is that when the veterans feel connected to the institution, they thrive,” Sutherland said. “When they’re at a university that thinks they will do fine [on their own], they don’t seem to do as well.” (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Saving September

Im[d]Wb_

Change Is Afoot At Redskins Park

Fast-rising Rays inject suspense into the otherwise dull pennant races By surging back into a pennant race they seemed to have vacated months ago, the Tampa Bay Rays have done more than merely awaken that small segment of their fan base that still acknowledges their existence this time of year, or put a Bucky Dentsized scare into the swooning Boston Red Sox. They have also saved September, baseball’s most important regular-season month, from a fate of irrelevancy amid the NFL’s grandiose return. Until the Rays swept the Red Sox over the weekend in St. Petersburg, Fla., closing to within 3 ½ games of the Red Sox’s lead in the American League wild card race — another win Monday night in Baltimore, while the Red Sox were idle, reduced the Rays’ deficit by another half-game — baseball was facing its worst late-season nightmare: a stretch drive nearly devoid of pennant-race drama. But suddenly, with just over two weeks left in the season, there is drama all over the place. The Red Sox’s untimely collapse — they entered Tuesday’s game against Toronto having lost fivestraight and 10 of their last 13 — has put them, and the Rays, within range of history. The Rays were 9 ½ games out of a playoff spot on Sept. 1; no team has ever made the playoffs after being more than 7 ½ games out in September. And no team has ever blown a lead that

When discussing the Redskins, no victory is too small to celebrate. Their 28-14 win over the New York Giants on Sunday snapped a six-game losing streak against their division rival. It also has the Redskins in first place — if only for a week. Yet it pales in comparison to what followed. Before coach Mike Shanahan had a chance to snuff out talk of relaxing after the win, his 8o CWjj players did it for him. Im[died Led by captain London Fletcher, the Redskins decided to opt out of a tradition known as “Victory Monday” — when a team essentially takes a day off as a reward for winning.

Tampa’s Sean Rodriguez forces Boston’s Carl Crawford out during a series in which the Rays gained ground in the wild-card hunt.

But here is the flip side: At the start of play Tuesday, none of the eight playoff races were tighter than three games, and three of the division races — the NL East (led by the Phillies), NL West (Diamondbacks) and AL Central (Tigers) – saw first-place teams holding leads of at least 8 ½ games. On this same date last year, four races were separated by 2 ½ games or less. (T WP)

an designated hitter David Ortiz blurted Sunday, “Hell, yeah, you’ve got to panic.” Never t heless, t he website www.coolstandings.com — which bases its projections of millions of computerized simulations of the season — says the 2011 playoff field is all but set. Of the eight

teams leading their divisions or the wild cards at the start of Tuesday’s play, the Red Sox were the most vulnerable — but even they had an 86.7 percent chance of making the playoffs. That means any hope of a compelling final fortnight rests largely in the hands of the Rays and the Red Sox. As it happens, they will clash in Boston for four games beginning Thursday, one team full of an underdog’s carefree confidence, the other plagued with pitching injuries and an inescapable feeling that its collar keeps tightening. “This is our playoffs. If we’re good enough to get through this, we’re good enough to get into the postseason,” said Rays outf ielder Johnny Damon, a former star in Boston. “If not, at least we made it interesting.” DAVE SHEININ (THE WASHINGTON POST )

No wonder they’ve reached the playoffs only three times since then. There’s no telling how this season will turn out, but it’s clear a new culture is taking shape. They say practice makes perfect, and the Redskins are finally perfecting their practices. If the players keep up the work, more on-field win will follow. For now, though, fans can celebrate this offthe-field victory. To reach Matt Swenson, e-mail matt.swenson@readexpress.com

UMd. to Name Court After Gary Williams

It turns out that NFL quarterbacks didn’t need an offseason’sworth of practices, after all, to work on their timing with receivers or fine-tune the precision of the passing game. Tom Brady ’s ca reer-best , 517-yard passing performance Monday night for the New England Patriots at Miami was the highlight of an opening weekend when nearly half the National Football League’s starting quarterbacks surpassed 300 yards passing. Three other quarterbacks— Carolina’s Cam Newton, Drew Brees of New Orleans and Miami’s Chad Henne — topped 400 passing yards. Another 10 passers threw for more than 300 yards. Together, the 14 of them set a record for any week of an NFL season, not merely an opening weekend, as did the 7,842 net passing yards league-wide. It was not exactly what had been expected after an offseason without minicamps or organized team activities, thanks to the NFL lockout, and it might have been a preview of another season of record-

setting offensive exploits. “I’m definitely surprised,” said former NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, now an analyst for ESPN. “I’d talked to a bunch of quarterbacks and they’d all said, ‘It’s going to be brutal. We’re going to be seeing blitz looks that we haven’t seen before and have no plan for.’” Brady faced blitzes Monday night from the Dolphins, yet passed for the fifth-most yards ever in an NFL game. Newton also withstood Arizona Cardinals — who face the Redskins on Sunday — blitzes Sunday as he passed for 422 yards,

the most ever by a rookie in a season opener. Both passing displays were part of a weekend when offenses largely did as they pleased and defenses mostly had no answers. With Henne throwing for 416 yards, the Dolphins and Patriots combined for 1,110 yards of total offense Monday night, the second-most ever and the most in an NFL game in 61 years. In the game, Brady and Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker teamed to match the league record for the longest play from scrimmage with

a 99-yard touchdown. Hasselbeck theorized that after missing so much practice time in the offseason, offensive coaches have streamlined their approaches and are sticking to the things their teams do best. Of course, rules changes over the past eight years restricting defenders has made the NFL a primarily passing league. “There’s a reason people are throwing the ball so much,” Hasselbeck said. “It’s just kind of how it’s changed.” M A R K M A S K E (THE WASHINGTON POST )

NBA Talks Fail to Yield Progress, Season’s Start in Jeopardy Fhe 8Wia[jXWbb The start of the NBA season was thrown into doubt Tuesday after players and owners made no progress at a key labor meeting, with no further talks scheduled. Union executive director Billy Hunter says players were prepared

to make a “significant” financial move, but found owners unwilling to budge off their positions. Union president Derek Fisher of the Lakers said he will tell players that “the way it looks right now we may not start on time.” Fisher added that “we can’t find a place with the league and our

owners where we can reach a deal sooner rather than later.” The two sides had initially planned to meet again on Wednesday. After three meetings among small groups in the last t wo weeks, full bargaining committees returned to the table Tuesday. The hope was that would move

the process forward, but Hunter said owners are still holding to their desire for changes to the salary cap structure. A hard cap remains “highly untenable” to players, he said. Training camps are scheduled to open Oct. 3 and the regular season’s opening night is scheduled for Nov. 1. (AP)

How the country captured the fascination of the world’s most powerful fashion player, Mark Graham reports. When American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour visited China for the ﬁrst time in late 2010 she was blown away by the energy, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. Wintour, regularly described as the most powerful individual in the fashion world, wasted no time in dispatching Vogue’s top photographer, Mario Testino, to Beijing and Shanghai, in a bid to try and capture the China zeitgeist. The results can be seen in the latest issue of American Vogue, which devotes a large section to stunning images of key people in China’s fashion, music and art scenes, along with supermodel Karlie Kloss. Says Wintour in her editor’s letter: “When I returned home, I knew that this country that I’d found so entrancing — I’d never been anywhere that restless and ceaseless in its pursuit of the new — could act as a powerful and compelling backdrop for a September fashion story.” Throughout a long career in the fashion world, which began when British-born Wintour left school at 16, the style guru has become renowned for being able to spot the latest trends, staying a high-heeled step ahead of industry rivals. Wintour is not easily impressed, or moved, and is usually pictured at fashion shows with a deadpan expression, eyes hidden behind huge sunglasses, but she was clearly astonished to see how China has become a major player in the fashion world. The management consultancy McKinsey has predicted that the luxury business could be worth $27 billion annually within four years, almost triple the current estimated ﬁgure.

C H I N A DA I LY

CHINAWATCH

“Everywhere you go there is this great drum roll that started five years ago of,‘What do you think about China?’” said Wintour, explaining her decision to visit the country and devote a major magazine spread to its fast-growing fashion industry. “I think in a way American brands are a bit behind coming to China compared to the European brands and I wanted to encourage them all to visit and open stores here. It is hard for me to give advice to the designers back home if I haven’t seen it for myself. “I spoke to people in China about the possibility of encouraging the right Chinese designers to possibly come and represent their clothes in the United States, or Europe. I think there is a lack of knowledge of what people are all doing in China at the moment. “We have the access and the authority that is completely unlike any other magazine. A designer, or brand, will come to us first with a question or if they have a position they want filled, or whether they should be expanding their brand to China or they want a model for their campaign.” No false modesty there, understandably so given that the magazine, and its iconic boss, are so powerful within the industry, a fact that the general public became aware of through the film The Devil Wears Prada. Based on a book written by a disaffected former Vogue staffer, it depicts an aloof and domineering fashion magazine editor. There was no trace of that prima donna attitude during the real-life fashion queen’s debut Beijing visit, where she was accompanied by just two staff members, who each had

Clockwise from abover right: Wintour (second from left) tours the catwalks of the world. Chinese actor Daniel Wu, actress Fan Bingbing and US supermodel Karlie Kloss feature in the Septemer edition of US Vogue.

their own duties to carry out rather than tend to the boss’ needs. But, during a question and-answer session with young Beijing fashion students, Wintour’s frosty responses to muddled questions made it clear that fools are not usually suffered gladly. Wintour, 61, also displayed ﬂashes of dry humor when asked — for the umpteenth time, no doubt — if The Devil Wears Prada, where Meryl Streep plays the lead character,is true to life.“I found the movie highly entertaining and it’s true, of course, that I beat all my assistants, lock them in a cupboard and don’t pay them!” More seriously, the grand dame of fashion provided

When I returned home, I knew that this country that I’d found so entrancing — I’d never been anywhere that restless and ceaseless in its pursuit of the new — could act as a powerful and compelling backdrop for a September fashion story.” ANNA WINTOUR, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, VOGUE MAGAZINE

thoughtful and astute musings on the future of the industry in general and China’s future role. “It used to be that young fashion came from London but that has totally changed. I think New York has become a true leader in every sense in terms of fashion and shows and professionalism,” she said. “China is a great manufacturing country and

people are proud of what this country has achieved, but I think it is also important to change the view of what ‘made in China’ means. It also has to stand for design talent and quality and innovation.” A number of overseas Chinese designers have had a career boost from gaining the much-sought-after blessing of Wintour, most notably Taiwan-

born Jason Wu, who designed the inauguration ball gown for American First Lady Michelle Obama, and New York-based Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang and Derek Lam. “I am not always right but the important thing is always to be honest — designers have a lot of press and friends rushing back stage to tell them they are wonderful. That is nice to hear but it is not always the most constructive way to try and develop a business. “I think it is best to tell the truth but it is also not constructive to completely knock somebody, so we try and explain what might be changed or what the collection is lacking. “I always say to young

students that you have to get out and about, fashion reﬂects the culture; a great photograph can tell you just as much as what is going on in the world as any headline or television report that you may see. Go to the galleries, read books, travel, all of that will come back to reward you.” Wintour acted on her own advice while in China, visiting the major galleries and stores, meeting all the movers and shakers in the fashion and art world and having intimate dinners with a select few. The editor is, famously, an early riser, often ﬁtting in a pre-breakfast game of tennis before a day of back-to-back appointments That hard-working approach

is one reason Wintour has stayed at the very top for so long, handsomely rewarded by her employers for producing a monthly magazine that generates consistently high revenues. The most inﬂuential individual in world fashion has the very best seats at catwalk shows in Paris, Milan, London and New York, the ability to make, or break, careers and a passion for work that is undiminished by four decades in the business. This month’s China-focused issue, which showcases designer clothes from the autumn-winter collections, is a whopping 700 pages. The China section features American teen model Karlie

Kloss pictured against a backdrop of the Great Wall near Beijing, the Bird’s Nest Stadium, the Bund in Shanghai and various studios, galleries and hotels. Also shot by photographer Testino were notable China celebrities, including jewelry designer and socialite Wan Baobao, actress Fan Bingbing, racing driver and blogger Han Han, and actor Daniel Wu.

All the photos and words will have been personally pored over by the perfectionist editor, ameticulousapproachthatwas captured in the documentary The September Issue, which traced the development and production of the magazine’s annual ﬂagship edition. “I think I have the best job in the world and I am the luckiest person in the world,” Wintour said.

How the west is being won

GOVT INVESTMENT TO BRIDGE GAP BETWEEN POORER WESTERN REGIONS AND PROSPEROUS EAST TO BEAR FRUIT By ANDREW MOODY, HU HAIYAN AND MA WEI

i Xinming is charged with helping create a new economy the size of Chongqing, China’s most populous city, within 10 years. The Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, the economic zone launched last year for which he is deputy director, covers some 1,200 sq km and will have a GDP of 640 billion yuan ($100.4 billion) by 2020. The initiative is part of the Chinese government’s second 10-year phase of its go-west strategy, one of world’s biggest-ever economic regeneration initiatives. The strategy has been compared to the winning of the West in the United States some 150 years ago when

Americans took to their wagon trains and sought their fortune in new lands such as California following the end of the Civil War. The aim of China’s initiative, however, is to bring similar levels of prosperity to the less developed western region that are being enjoyed in the eastern parts of the country such as Beijing, Shanghai and the country’s eastern seaboard for some time. The economy of the Liangjiang New Area grew by 23 percent last year and is now around 13.4 percent of the size

of Chongqing’s, but will increase four-fold in the next four years before it achieves the economic size of the main city within the decade. “We call it recreating the Chongqing economy in 10 years. Our development zone will be a big city in its own right. It will have 5 to 6 million people living in it, more than 50 percent of the urban area of Chongqing itself,” says Li. Chongqing, which this summer has been reeling under 61-year high record temperatures of 42 C, is one of the major success stories of >> PROJECTS, PAGE 4

It’s rare to see titans of industry gather to acknowledge something other than their own projects. But last Sunday, Sept. 11th, I witnessed a council of fashion’s elders share a tender and selfless moment. At Diane von Furstenberg’s spring 2012 show, aptly named “Beginnings,” Oscar de la Renta and Valentino Garavani, both 79 and founders of eponymous fashion houses, sat near each other in the front row. 8o AWj^[h_d[ When DVF bowed 8eob[ and walked the runway to the jazz standard “Feeling Good,” she handed American flags to Valentino and de la Renta, and greeted them with tearful hugs. She looked relieved to see others who’ve outlived tragedy. “I was crying earlier today,” said de la Renta. “But Diane is a symbol of rebirth. Of the New York woman.” This trio competed for customers in the 1970s. They outlasted riotous nights in Studio 54, designing through wars, assassinations and, yes, terror attacks. All were born elsewhere: Belgium, Italy, the Dominican Republic. But on Sunday, they waved American flags to support a city that has given them so much. It was, without question, the most beautiful thing I saw all week. Read Katherine’s previous columns at: expressnightout.com/speaker

Anderson Cooper, who will keep his night job at CNN, is making a play for daytime viewers with his new, eponymous talk show.

CHARLES SYKES/AP

In Remembrance

>[_h 7ffWh[dj5 Anderson Cooper tries to claim Oprah’s throne with his new daytime talk show J[b[l_i_ed There are many Anderson *0&& Coopers now; collect them all! There is Action Anderson, the fit 44-year-old news anchor who likes to drop everything, don a gray T-shirt and chase the big story, which delivers him unto war zones and disaster sites. There is also Adorable Anderson, the rich kid with the aw-shucks humility who is the great-greatgreat-grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt. This more-popular Anderson will always get in the way of Action Anderson’s journalistic idealism. Adorable Anderson is the one who 789

7dWboi_i

The Wrong Job? The real missed opportunity here for Anderson Cooper is that by launching his own show — a process that took a year — Cooper won’t be able to take retiring Regis Philbin’s place on “Live With Regis and Kelly.” Anyone who’s seen the hilarious chemistry between Kelly Ripa and Adorable Anderson, who pitched in as co-host during Philbin’s frequent absences, would certainly agree. H.S.

hosts the ball-drop show with kooky Kathy Griffin every New Year’s Eve and is as likely to turn up in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch with Pee-wee Herman as he is in “tornado alley.” Adorable Anderson is the one who nearly collapsed in a teary-eyed fit of giggles last month on his nightly CNN show during a pun-laced segment about Gerard Depardieu’s public-urination misadventure. The clip of that went viral, which reignited in many viewers a complicated longing for a man some call “America’s secret boyfriend.” You can either admit this to yourself or not. It’s the undetermined sexuality, the androgyne in the Ralph Lauren black-label suit; the catlike handsomeness; the silvery white hair and piercing blue eyes. Now a third version: Daytime Anderson, whose eponymous talk show got off to a solid start in most

syndication markets on Monday. Daytime Anderson wishes to somehow merge the best of Action Anderson (who is keeping his night job on CNN) and Adorable Anderson into a superior Anderson that can fill some of the highly coveted space vacated when Oprah Winfrey ended her talk show in the spring after 25 seasons. (Washington’s WJLA is one of the few stations that put “Anderson” where Oprah was, weekdays at 4 p.m.) Daytime Anderson will more often than not be called on to share more of his personal perspective than he’s been comfortable with. Which, when it comes to the prospect of watching “Anderson” day after day, leads to a personal question he has declined to answer many times about his sexual orientation. Cooper has said that he decided long ago to keep his private life private, a lesson learned watching his famous mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, endure press scrutiny. Also, he doesn’t want it to get in the way of journalistic objectivity. Fair enough, but that’s not what viewers want in an afternoon talkshow host. This job is all about spilling it. We have a ways to go before we know all of the Andersons there are to know. Exasperation with the question is merely the best-marked exit door from a possibly awkward conversation. Yet, when you have a daytime talk show in which the stated goal is “truth” and “something real,” those should be your most favorite conversations of all. HANK STUE VER (THE WASHINGTON POST )

When there’s a good show about zany-yet-believable parenting mishaps, we can all revel in it, whether we have kids or not. NBC’s new comedy, “Up All Night,” demonstrates how the Diaper Genie springs eternal. Neither smashingly hilarious nor overly redundant, it is instead tolerable and occasionally LOL (as the mommy blogs would say). What “Up All Night” really has going for it is Will Arnett and Christina Applegate as its stars. Unlike the vaguely familiar actors who drifted through many of last season’s can-

They play Reagan and Chris Brinkley, parents of precious baby Amy, who is so angelic while sleeping that Reagan and Chris hover over her crib and utter foul language in awe of her beauty.

depressed? NIH is studying a novel medication for rapid antidepressant response and its effect on memory & attention using neuroimaging. NIH researchers seek currently depressed persons ages 18-55 to enroll in research studies evaluating how an FDA-approved drug, Scopolamine (for motion sickness) versus placebo can help with depression. In one study, the drug is given intravenously over 7-sessions (inpatient or outpatient), in the other the drug is given by patch over 12 sessions (outpatient). Participants must not be taking medications for three weeks prior to starting the study. The studies are conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and may include brain imaging and attention and memory tasks to help understand the role of some brain chemicals in depression.

There is no cost to participate and travel is reimbursed. Atendemos pacientes de habla hispana.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on tired methods to get things done. Focus on other options; a viable alternative will present itself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Despite your readiness, you may want to review your plans carefully one more time. Are you overlooking any essential details? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Minimize the chance of injury by minimizing your own vulnerability in situations that you can foresee. Anticipate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to spend too much time thinking and not doing. Progress can only be made if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the move.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know just what you must do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and what you must not do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because those in charge will be making it clear to everyone, not just you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A good idea is only as valuable as the gains it allows you to make â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin celebrating prematurely. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may have to behave in a certain way that is actually much more difficult than you had imagined. This endeavor may not be for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can learn a great deal by watching someone else who has gained much more experience than you. Imitation is the next step.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Someone who claims to be doing something in your best interest is only taking unfair advantage of his or her association with you.
