Senate GOP Unveils Jobs Plan =EF @eXi FhefeiWb The plan, whose sponsors include Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Rand Paul, would:

Senate Republicans on Thursday unveiled a GOP jobs bill designed to offer a conservative vision for improving the economy and counter President Obama’s insistence that congressional Republicans have rejected his ideas for job growth without offering any of their own.

The bill is largely a repackaging of long-stated Republican priorities, and many have also been endorsed

by GOP leaders in the House.

But Senate Republicans said it was important to present the ideas in a single package that could compete with President Obama’s $447 billion jobs bill, rejected earlier this week by the Senate. “You have to be for something,” said Sen.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., one of the sponsors to the “Jobs Through Growth Act,” pauses while discussing key components of the alternative jobs bill in D.C. on Thursday.

Lindsey O. Graham, R-S.C. Republicans have derided Obama’s blueprint as a temporary quick fix that relies on government spending and will do nothing to improve the economy in the long run.

By contrast, they said their package could inject certainty into the economy by limiting the scope of government intervention that they believe stifles growth.

Meanwhile, House Speaker John Boehner’s office said Boehner told

D[m Oeha A former billionaire described by the government as “the modern face of illegal insider trading” was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison, the longest insider trading sentence ever but far short of the two decades sought by prosecutors.

Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam also was fined $10 million and ordered to forfeit $53.8 million by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Holwell, who said he concluded that Rajaratnam made well more than $50 million in profits from his illegal trades.

“His crimes and the scope of his crimes reflect a virus in our business culture that needs to be eradicated,” Holwell said. “When the integrity of the marketplace is called into question, the public suffers.”

October 17, 2011

The sentencing of Raj Rajaratnam culminates a series of convictions and sentencings that came after the October 2009 announcement of Rajaratnam’s arrest. More than two dozen people were arrested; all were convicted. The probe touched off a related investigation of those on Wall Street who corrupt the research purpose of networking firms by letting unscrupulous public company employees spill secrets to hedge fund managers. (AP)

The sentence eclipsed by one year the prison term given to one of Rajaratnam’s co-defendants just weeks ago.

The Sri Lanka-born Rajaratnam, 54, was ordered to report to a yetto-be-designated prison Nov. 28.

His lawyers asked he be allowed to report to the medical facility at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina, where Bernard Madoff is serving his 150-year sentence after admitting to a Ponzi scheme that cheated thousands of people out of billions of dollars.

The judge gave Rajaratnam leniency, citing his need for a kidney transplant and his advanced diabetes. And he credited Rajaratnam’s charitable work, which he called “the defendant’s responsiveness to and care for the less privileged.”

“Today you sentence a man who is the modern face of illegal insider trading,” assistant U.S. Attorney Reed Brodsky told Holwell. “He is arguably the most egregious insider trader to face sentencing in a courthouse in the United States.”

‘Holding His Own’

Cain rises to the top of GOP polls with unconventional strategy 7jbWdjW Reveling in the national spotlight, Herman Cain is pledging to bolster his f ledgling White House campaign.

He’ll need to, and quickly, if he has any hope of winning the GOP nomination. The unlikely contender has little campaign organization in Iowa, New Hampshire and other states where voting begins in less than three months. And he hasn’t done much else in those places to capitalize on his surge to the top of the GOP polls this month, which is attributed in part to his catchy 9-9-9 tax overhaul plan.

',

The number of times Herman Cain uttered “9-9-9” during a 90-minute debate hosted Tuesday by The Washington Post and Bloomberg.

“We are now going to ramp up,” Cain promised this week.

By that, he means executing what aides call a 50-state strategy — for a nomination contest that’s determined state by state. It’s a nontraditional path that other candidates have tried unsuccessfully.

Cain’s campaign, which can seem almost overwhelmed by the attention that comes with a big rise in polls, argues that competing in the early voting states, while important, is not the only way to win the party’s nomination.

His aides note that President Obama’s 2008 campaign fanned out across the country and was successful. But Obama competed vigorously in the early voting states, too.

Still, Cain, who never has held political office, clearly has struck a chord with a part of the Republi-

(THE WASHINGTON POST )

Georgia businessman Herman Cain has soared past his fellow GOP contenders — including the presumed front-runner, Mitt Romney — in recent Republican polls.

can electorate craving a fresh face not tied to the GOP establishment.

This is the first presidential contest since the tea party’s rise, and Cain is in many ways the natural culmination of the grass-roots movement: a straight-talking political outsider, espousing an antitax platform.

“The conservative wing of the Republican Party has been auditioning for an anti-Romney alternative for months now,” former GOP strategist Dan Schnur said.

“They’ve tried Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, and they both wilted under the scrutiny. So far, Herman Cain seems to be holding his own.”

Atlanta Tea Party Patriots cofounder Debbie Dooley explains it this way: “With Herman, what you see is what you get.”

Earlier this year, Cain had to lend his campaign $500,000 to stay afloat. He’ll report his fundraising for the past three months within days. He is suggesting that money will no longer be a problem and says he now has enough to expand his campaign.

His shoestrings campaign has a certain improvised feel as it scrambles to hire staff and keep pace with the intense media interest enveloping the former head of Godfather’s Pizza since he cruised past Romney in a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.

/#/#/ If there’s a policy star in the GOP presidential primary, it may be Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax overhaul plan, which has helped fuel his sudden surge. But the 9-9-9 label is actually a bit of misnomer. Cain would toss out much of the current federal tax code and replace it temporarily with three taxes: a 9 percent income tax, a 9 percent business transactions tax and a 9 percent federal sales tax. On paper, the first two look like cuts, because payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare (now nearly 15 percent, including corporate contributions) would be repealed. The sales tax would be new, on top of existing state sales taxes. But the full 9-9-9 would happen eventually, if temporarily. That’s because it’s the second step of a planned three-step process. The first step would cut individual and corporate tax rates to a top 25 percent rate (down from a current high of 35 percent). The final step would replace all of the taxes — even the 9s — with a national sales tax, known by proponents as a “Fair Tax.” (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

9WcfW_]d_d]

D[m JWa[ Ed j^[ JhW_b Georgian businessman Herman Cain has kept a nontraditional schedule on the campaign trail.

In New Hampshire this week, Cain’s press spokesman J.D. Gordon sheepishly admitted to reporters that he didn’t know the specifics about the candidate’s schedule that afternoon, nor the last time Cain had been in the state. With his popularity climbing, Cain eschewed the campaign trail last month for bookstores as part of a tour to promote his new memoir.

And on Thursday, as a new poll showed him leading the GOP pack, Cain didn’t beeline it to Iowa to try to capitalize on it as expected. Instead, he made anappearance in Ohio at a Christian university. And on Friday, he was launching a bus tour through Tennessee. Neither state holds a primary until March — two months after voting begins. Still, Cain says that he’s not ignoring the early states and that he’s adding staff and building campaigns in them. (AP)

There’s no telling how long the love for Cain will last or whether he can turn the buzz into votes on primary and caucus nights this winter. It takes more than enthusiasm to win the presidency. It takes money and organization, and Cain trails his top GOP rivals on both fronts. SHANNON MCCAFFREY AND STE VE PEOPLES (AP)

Outcry Grows Over Alleged Iranian Plot Allies weigh action after purported plan to kill Saudi envoy BedZed The alleged plot to kill Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the U.S. marks an escalation of Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism overseas, Britain’s foreign secretary said Thursday, as Europe and others discussed their response.

William Hague told lawmakers that Britain was working with the

U.S., Saudi Arabia and the European Union to agree on tough international action over the purported plan to assassinate Adel Al-Jubeir at a Washington restaurant.

“This would appear to constitute a major escalation in Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism outside its borders,” Hague said Thursday.

A U.S. criminal complaint accuses two Iranian suspects of hiring a would-be assassin in Mexico, who also was a paid U.S. informant.

Manssor Arbabsiar, 56, a U.S. citizen who holds an Iranian passport, was charged alongside Gholam Shakuri,

who officials said is in Iran.

Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal accused Tehran of “murder and mayhem,” saying his country was working on a “measured response.”

The Saudi-headquartered Gulf Cooperation Council also condemned the alleged plot. The Arab League said any attack on diplomats would undermine efforts for peace and security in the region,

and strain relations between Arab Gulf countries and Iran.

Other European nations also called for action over the alleged plot. Germany’s foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, has demanded an explanation from Tehran, the country’s foreign ministry said.

Italy said if the U.S. allegations were confirmed, there could be “serious consequences” for Iran.

Britain will work with allies to agree on new sanctions, Hague said. But diplomats have indicated Britain would not back calls for military action. DAVID STRINGER (AP)

Japan: Old Bottles Cause Of Radiation Hot Spot

MIKE HEWITT/GETTY IMAGES

Workers hurriedly dredged canals and cut new waterways around Thailand’s capital on Thursday in a desperate battle to protect the city from the country’s worst floods in decades.

One jittery Cabinet official called for the evacuation of an area on Bangkok’s northern outskirts, only to rescind his warning 15 minutes later.

At least 283 people have been killed since late July by f loods and mudslides. Bangkok has been mostly spared so far, but some surrounding areas have been inundated, and authorities fear that floodwaters rushing from the north will combine with rains in the next few days to flood the city.

“This is the best method at the moment” to protect Bangkok, government spokesman Wim Rungwattanajinda said of the plan to dig new canals. “We are all working against time.”

Although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always

been interested in urban policy, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until he started the site in 2008 that he opened up lines of communication with other people thinking about transportation, and with Metro employees and elected officials.

In those discussions, Alpert got a better understanding of how Metro works â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and how it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Metro is complicated, and the

ways to improve it are complicated,â&#x20AC;? he says. As problems go, funding is a biggie, Alpert says. There are also issues that fall outside Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see dedicated bus lanes, for example, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better talk to the District Department of Transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Metro canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t snap its fingers and fix,â&#x20AC;? he adds.

But what about when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Metro can fix? He hopes to push for improvements as the D.C. vice chairman on the Metro Ridersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Advisory Council, which is the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liaison to the board of directors. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d care to join him, Metro recently issued a call for applicants to fill six positions on the all-volunteer council â&#x20AC;&#x201D; applications (available on Wmata. com) are due by Sunday.

Alpert realizes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not realistic for most people, considering the time commitment involved (three or four hours a month) and the fact that there are only 21 seats on the council. But he says you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a member to attend meetings or participate in other ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important thing to do is make sure elected officials understand the importance of transit, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fund it,â&#x20AC;? Alpert says.

Another tip: Join with groups of citizens already trying to make a difference, such as the Action Committee for Transit in Montgomery County, which has been pushing to speed up the construction of a second entrance to the Bethesda station to alleviate crowding and delays.

Or you could just tweet about it.

But, somehow, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem as effective.

9^Wdj_bbo" LW$ The new Dulles rail extension, which Metro officially named the Silver Line on Thursday, will cost $107 million to operate in its first three years, just as the transit authority faces a jump in its pension, health care and insurance costs.

Carol Kissal, Metro’s chief financial officer, told the board’s finance committee Thursday that

servicing the 11.5 miles of rail and five stations now under construction is expected to cost $20 million in fiscal 2013.

At the same time, Metro faces a 32.2 percent growth in its pension costs, which are expected to hit $125.4 million in fiscal 2013. The hike in pension costs is driven by financial losses Metro suffered in the stock market in 2008 and the contributions the transit authority is required to make to pensions, according to Kissal.

Metro is the sole source of pension contributions for 90 percent of its employees, roughly 9,000 workers who are members of Amal-

8WYaijeho The $2.8B project has spent more than 70 percent of its contingency funds since construction started two years ago. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is responsible for building the new rail track and will turn it over to the transit authority to operate and maintain. Metro has said it will take up to six months to run tests of the rail line and to train new employees. ( T WP)

Montgomery County police say a man is in custody in the death of his wife and the disappearance of her 11-year-old son. The boy, William McQuain of Germantown, remains missing. Police say Curtis Lopez was taken into custody about 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Charlotte, N.C., on a Maryland arrest warrant related to the death of Jane McQuain.

District of Columbia emergency management officials say they plan to communicate with the public more quickly during emergencies in a bid to avoid the traffic gridlock that occurred in the wake of a January snowstorm and the August earthquake. Officials said at a D.C. Council hearing Thursday that their first message to the public during future emergencies will likely be a recommendation to stay put until more information is available.

Arlington Mulls Raising Taxicab Fare by 25 Cents

increases in what local jurisdictions pay to run Metro, “or the farebox,” she said.

Metro also faces an 8 percent hike in employee health care expenses and a 5 percent hike in insurance costs related to claim payouts from the 2009 Red Line crash that left nine people dead and dozens injured.

Thursday’s meeting was the first time the transit authority has given cost estimates for operating the first phase of the Silver Line, which will run from West Falls Church through Tysons Corner to Reston, Va., and is expected to open in late 2013.

7=7?DIJ 7 <E==O 879A:HEF" head stonemasons Joe Alonso, left, Andy Uhl, center, and Dave McAllister, right, help remove the damaged upper portion of a pinnacle from Washington National Cathedral Thursday. The cathedral’s central tower pinnacles were damaged by the magnitude-5.8 earthquake that struck the East Coast on Aug. 23. The damaged portions of pinnacles are being removed to make the pinnacles and central tower stable until the stonework can be repaired.

Hailing one of Arlington County’s 765 taxicabs may soon cost more.

The Arlington County Board is considering whether to raise the basic taxi fare by 25 cents, and adding another 50 cents for each passenger older than 12 years of age.

In return, cabs would be required to accept credit card payments by April 1.

If the proposal wins approval, this would be the first fare increase since summer 2008. The average Arlington cab trip is about five miles, which costs $13.05. That would rise to $13.38 under the proposal. There are about 9,000 taxi trips daily in the county.

After falling to 1-4 Sunday in Buffalo, Michael Vick’s Eagles are no longer being referred to as a “dream team.”

'

Just run, baby: While the Redskins haven’t decided between Ryan Torain, above; Tim Hightower; and Roy Helu at starting RB, each should excel against an Eagles run defense ranked 30th in the NFL.

A?BB;H ?DIJ?D9J J^[ H[Zia_di When the NFL season began, the Philadelphia Eagles were the “dream team” and the Redskins were not even worthy of a catchy moniker.

But five weeks later, the tide has turned. The Eagles are foundering at 1-4, and the Redskins are sitting pretty atop the NFC East at 3-1 with a chance to deliver the knockout blow to a wob' F$C$ bly Philly squad Sunday Sunday | FOX at FedEx Field.

“You want to make sure that you take advantage of this opportunity,” quarterback Rex Grossman said. “This would definitely propel us.”

A win would give the Redskins their first 4-1 start since 2008 and that mark for the 12th time in team history.

However, they are 0-3 the past three seasons after bye weeks, including last year’s 59-28 thrashing by the Eagles.

That defeat still hangs over prepa-

ÇJ^_i mekbZ Z[Ó d_j[bo fhef[b ki ¾ ?jÊi W l[ho" l[ho _cfehjWdj ]Wc[$È — REX GROSSMAN, WHOSE REDSKINS ARE, SURPRISINGLY, IN FIRST PLACE IN THE NFC EAST, WHILE THE VISITING EAGLES WILL ARRIVE IN D.C. ON SUNDAY WITH A DIVISION-WORST 1-4 RECORD.

rations at Redskins Park, even though many of the players involved are no longer on the team.

“The people that were here last year understand we were embarrassed pretty good,” coach Mike Shanahan said.

“They took it to us. We had a bad taste in our mouth. I’m sure they have a bad taste in their mouth this week.”

The Eagles’ influx of high-priced free agents hasn’t paid off, while the Redskins’ workmanlike approach has.

Even so, some Las Vegas oddsmakers have the Redskins as 1.5-point underdogs.

“It doesn’t matter what their record is, and it doesn’t matter what our record is,” linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. “They present a hell of a challenge to us.”

The Eagles figure to be a desperate team, realizing that a barrage of turnovers and poor tackling are not the way to win a division.

“I think every game gets more important as the year goes,” Eagles corner Nnamdi Asomugha said. “So, obviously, this is the most important game of the season.”

And it’s just as important for the Redskins, who have yet to put together a complete game this season. “We’re here to play these big games,” wide receiver Jabar Gaffney said. “We’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. We know we’re going to get their best shot.”

ELLIOT T SMITH

(

Get picky: The Eagles’ biggest problem has been turnovers, and if the Redskins can pressure Michael Vick into errant throws, the result might be gamechanging INTs.

)

Speed demons: To a man, the Redskins said the Eagles are the fastest team they will see this year. The secondary, led by DeAngelo Hall, must be ready to keep pace on deep throws. E.S.

Harbaugh Has the Golden Touch At this stage last season, the 49ers were 0-5 — the team’s worst start since San Francisco dropped seven straight to begin a 2-14 season in 1979, the late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh’s first year. This 4-1 start guided by new coach Jim Harbaugh, left — including wins against the Buccaneers and Eagles — is the franchise’s best since the ’02 team that was trounced 31-6 by Tampa Bay in the NFC divisional playoffs. (AP)

Fhe <eejXWbb The 49ers are headed to Motown with some serious mojo.

Running back Frank Gore reflects on his dominant days at the University of Miami.

Cornerback Carlos Rogers, formerly of the Redskins, also has to go back to his college career at Auburn to find a time when things were going this well.

“We’re just rollin’,” Gore said this week, after his second-straight 100-yard rushing performance in a 48-3 rout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Quarterback Alex Smith and

San Francisco’s improving offense are piling up points — as in 62 the past six quarters — while timely plays by guys like Rogers on defense are creating extra scoring chances and positive field position, too.

Both sides of the ball and special teams have carried the divi-

Terps Try to Fend Off a QB Controversy Edsall remains mum on who will be the starter vs. Clemson

?d`kh_[i

J[hfi <eejXWbb

SCOTT CUNNINGHAM/GETTY IMAGES

If this were an easy decision, there would be but two images to consider.

- F$C$ Sat. | ESPNU

First, there’s the image of quarterback Danny O’Brien jogging off the field last Saturday, intercepted again, his shoulders suddenly rising and falling as he screams and releases weeks of disgust, disappointment and disbelief. Since the season’s first game, last year’s ACC rookie of the year had thrown just three touchdown passes and five interceptions. In the second quarter Saturday, he was told to trade his helmet for a headset.

Terps QB C. J. Brown excelled with his feet but struggled throwing the ball last week.

Then there’s the image of C.J. Brown, the backup quarterback, outracing 11 defenders down the right sideline for a 77-yard touchdown. “I didn’t think we were getting what we needed offensively,” Maryland coach Randy Edsall said, “and I was looking to try to get a spark.”

Brow n indeed prov ided a spark, Edsall said, but Maryland’s fourth-quarter comeback fell short.

Though Brown impressed with his running skills, he failed to connect on his first 10 passes and seemed out of sync with his receivers.

And so Edsall now must navigate a quarterback controversy, a crisis

Whoever starts at quarterback for Maryland Saturday will do so behind an offensive line that has lost its anchor. When fifthyear senior guard Andrew Gonnella left the field in an ambulance last week, felled by a season-ending knee injury, the Terrapins lost their most consistent performer. Gonnella, a team captain, started 25 games and was the only offensive lineman to start at the same position, left guard, each game since the beginning of the 2010 season. D.T.

at the one position that seemed set even as the new coaching staff set about overhauling the program.

In the days between Maryland’s (2-3, 1-1 in the ACC) loss at No. 13 Georgia Tech last Saturday and this Saturday’s homecoming game against No. 8 Clemson (6-0,

3-0), Edsall has refused to publicly name a starter. It’s best, he figures, to make Clemson prepare for both possibilities. And yet by Saturday, he’ll have made a decision that could reverberate for years.

O’Brien, recruited by former offensive coordinator James Franklin for his pro-style offense, threw for 22 touchdowns and eight interceptions last year. But he has struggled to adapt to new coordinator Gary Crowton’s spread offense.

Brown, also a sophomore, is not considered as pure a passer as O’Brien, but his speed is a weapon. Though he passed for only 36 yards against Georgia Tech, he ran for 124 yards on nine carries.

The underachieving veteran or the athlete with untapped potential? “We don’t have the names on the back of the jerseys,” Edsall said.

“It’s about Maryland. It’s never anything personal. It’s about getting the best guys on the field who give us the opportunity to win.”

It’s easy to look back to D.C. United’s championship days and pinpoint the reasons for the team’s success. The goal-scoring and attacking exploits of John Harkes, Raul Diaz Arce and Marco Etcheverry; and the steady presence in the back provided by Jeff Agoos and Eddie Pope immediately come to mind.

What often goes unrecognized is the contribution of diminutive but disruptive central midfielder Richie Williams. He’ll finally get his due, though, when he joins the aforementioned D.C. stars in the club’s Hall of Tradition during an induction ceremony Saturday.

“He’s overlooked when people talk about those old teams,” said D.C. United coach Ben Olsen, one of Williams’ former teammates. “He was a huge piece ... He was the fire in a lot

Over the past few weeks, D.C. United has had multiple games in hand while competing for a playoff spot, but the inability to turn those games into points means the team no longer controls its destiny. After Wednesday’s lackluster 2-1 loss to last-place Vancouver, United could sweep its season-ending, three-game homestand and still not make the playoffs. Saturday’s contest against the Chicago Fire pits D.C. against the only postseason contender with slimmer hopes than it has. Top scorer Dwayne De Rosario will return after he sat out Wednesday after playing for Canada the night before in a World Cup qualifier. A.C.

seasons he played with D.C. (19962000 and 2002), he won three MLS Cups, all in the first five years of the league’s existence. He also played for the U.S. national team from 1998 to 2002.

the personality and everything that he brought to not just D.C. United as a club, but to U.S. Soccer.”

Williams, who was let go as an assistant coach for the New York Red Bulls prior to the 2011 season, is not done shaping soccer in this country. Last month he was hired as a technical adviser for U.S. youth teams and academy development, which are key components of Jurgen Klinsmann’s mission as the U.S.

FALL DINING GUIDE

Dana Tai Soon Burgess CHOREOGRAPHER, COLLECTOR, SUSHI FAN In his spare, contemporary dance works, D.C.-based KoreanAmerican choreographer Dana Tai Soon Burgess fuses Eastern and Western traditions, weaving together disparate elements such as martial arts, sculpture and edgy music. His eponymous company’s “Becoming American” performance makes its world premiere Friday through Saturday at Dance Place (Danceplace.org).

PLUS, readers and local celebrities reveal their favorite “regular” dining spots too.

So what’s “Becoming American” about?

It was inspired by one of our dancers, Katia Chupashko. She was adopted from an orphanage in Korea, and the piece speaks about growing up and trying to adapt to a foreign culture.

How do you convey that?

I created a world that was very

murky for the main character. You can only see her and her adoptive parents dancing. The rest of the cast is cloaked and masked.

Isn’t a piece based on your own childhood also on the schedule?

We’re reprising “Charlie Chan and the Mystery of Love,” which is based on my growing up AsianAmerican in New Mexico, where there weren’t many other AsianAmerican kids. I become fascinated by Charlie Chan. He could drop into any culture and figure it out!

In the piece, the main character is inundated by fantasy figures from the TV set who help him learn to interact with his community.

As a dancer, is it easy to stay in shape as you get older?

Dancing keeps you young. There’s

You’ve been traveling a lot lately.

Does that inspire your work?

I often travel with the company to work with different communities and companies around the world. It’s inspiration to look at the way people choreograph in other places.

But when you come back to D.C., what are you happiest to come home to?

I really just miss sitting on my couch in the living room and looking at my collection. I have ethnographic antiques from different places I’ve been to.

What’s your favorite item in your collection?

There’s a ceramic vase of an owl my parents gave me when I was a child. It’s an old Indian pot, and there’s something ancient and wise about it!

Any favorite hangouts in D.C.?

I like to go to Mie N Yu and Masa 14. And in my neighborhood, I like Bambu. If you want something simple and you don’t want to dress up, it’s a great place to get sushi.

Where do you shop in town?

I like Sicily, because it’s easy and the clothes fit. And I love to visit the antiques shops on Wisconsin Avenue. JENNIFER BARGER (E XPRESS)

Home, Not So Alone

ANSWERS FROM THE SHOE BLOGGER

In mid-November, I’m attending a wedding in Montreal. I already have two pairs of shoes for the ceremony and the reception picked out. However, I need something both stylish and warm to wear around town while I’m there. Is this combination possible? What do you suggest? — MERYL

IN THE PAST FEW YEARS,

old-school paper shelter mags have been dropping like fashionable flies (RIP, Domino, ReadyMade, etc.). So it’s heartening to see HGTV Magazine rearing its poppy, perky cover on newsstands, bringing glossy real estate features (bungalows for sale across the U.S.), cheap-chic decor projects and peeks inside hip homes.

Animal Charm ERNEST HEMMINGWAY once shot and

ate a porcupine, and the Serbian Crown in Great Falls lists “Scallopini of Lion” on its menu. We prefer exotic animals on the tableware, not the plate, as in Sugarboo’s linen napkins/towels ($25 each, Red Barn Mercantile, 113 S. Columbus St., Alexandria; 703-838-0355). Beasts from exotic climes (rhinos, camels) and farms (donkeys, pigs) romp with clever quotes, making for a wild party, even for vegans.

Layered Take

Manning Up SOLE SISTERS have been pointing their platform shoes toward Bethesda’s Zelaya Shoes (4940 St. Elmo Ave.; 301-656-8550) for years. Now, the shop also carries a range of fashion-forward men’s footwear in styles including casual cool, like Royal Elastics lace-ups (shown, $139), and Liam Michael’s work-worthy brogues ($209). The in-residence black pug, Jersey, also appeals to shoe fiends of both sexes, but he won’t help you choose between Bronx’s Chelsea boot or Rockadelic’s slip-ons.

BETTY CROCKER’S LATEST boxed cupcake mix, Fun Da-Middles ($3.25 per box, grocery stores), should amuse restless kids, who would enjoy creating a cakefrosting-cake sandwich in one of three combinations: chocolate with vanilla filling, white with chocolate filling or white with vanilla filling. But the end result, more Hostess Twinkie than traditional cupcake, won’t rival your weekly Crumbs indulgence. And saying Fun Da-Middles is painful for those past grade school.

Manolo says the last time the Manolo visited Quebec, it was the few years ago, in the February, when the weather was clear, beautiful and freezingly cold, with the outside temperature hovering somewhere around 7,000 degrees below zero.

Of the course, this did not dissuade the Quebecois from racing their mobiles of snow through the woods at all hours of the day, wide-open throttle in one hand, semi-frozen Molson beer in the other.

But such hardy outdoor pastimes are not for the Manolo, who, like the iguana, is the warm-weather creature of the Earth, one which prefers basking himself on the rock in the sun to having the parts of his nose fall off from the icy bite of the Señor Jack Frost.

But to each his own, eh? Far be it from the Manolo to suggest that people who race snowmobiles and voluntarily eat the cheese-curd-gravy-andfrench-fried dish known as poutine may in some way be slightly off.

Here is Aprelle from Ugg ($350, Zappos.com), the wedge, shearling boot that will keep you looking good and feeling warm until spring.

Brian Lusher created a happy, hip mood in his Logan Circle condo den by painting the walls aqua. The hue plays well with his brown sofa, red stool and zebra-print carpet.

8hki^ e\ =[d_ki Before painting your walls, learn to choose hues and roll the right way You could say that Brian Lusher’s bedroom has gone over to the dark side. When D.C. interior designer Andy Staszak (Andystaszakinteriordesign.com) saw Lusher’s dramatic white headboard and Lily Pulitzer duvet, he suggested painting the entire room (ceilings, trim, doors) chocolate brown.

“I was skeptical,” says Lusher, 41, who lives in a condo near Logan Circle. “I expected the room to feel smaller. But it doesn’t, because the ceiling and corners that had been white just sort of disappear. It feels cozy and cave-like.” Staszak also helped him choose an aqua for his

den and a pink for the bathroom.

Lusher’s color gamble paid off.

But for every success story like his, someone else winds up with a horror movie red bedroom or jaundice yellow den. And if they didn’t use the right equipment and techniques, that color ends up looking both garish and sloppy.

But there are ways to ensure your next paint job is a brush with greatness. When choosing colors, for example, get creative.

“Look at things you like, go to your favorite store or restaurant, look at design magazines,” says paint guru Eve Ashcraft, author of

ÇIec[ heeci Wh[ ceh[ ik_j[Z je Yebeh j^Wd ej^[hi$ 7 bej e\ _j _i `kij ijWdZ_d] XWYa WdZ beea_d] Wj j^[ i_p[ e\ j^[ heec" j^[ \khd_i^_d]i oek Wbh[WZo ^Wl[ WdZ m^Wj mekbZ cWa[ i[di[ _d j^[h[$È — E V E A SHCR A F T, AUTHOR AND PAINTING GURU

“The Right Color: Finding the Perfect Palette for Every Room in Your Home” ($30, Artisan). “And don’t work in a vacuum. Some rooms are more suited to color than others. A lot of it is just standing back and looking at the size of the room, the furnishings you have and what would make sense in there.”

When selecting colors, don’t paint yourself into a corner. “Paint should be chosen after other things as opposed to before,” says Ellen Brotman, owner of Fairfax County’s Ellen Brotman Interior Designs (Brotmaninteriors.com). “To commit to something before you choose furniture doesn’t make sense.”

Want to go with a bold shade like purple or orange? Think long and smart about where you put it.

“I generally think that you should go a little bit darker and a little bit muddier, grayer or warmer than you think you want,” says D.C. interior designer Andy Staszak (Andystaszakinteriordesign. com). “A good example is yellow. People think yellow is a nice, cheery color, but people often make the mistake and end up with a cross between egg yolk and school bus. Think more of the color of unsalted butter; it’s much softer and creamier, and more muted.”

J[ij ekj oekh Yebeh X[\eh[ oek Yecc_j$ “Throw some of the color on all four walls in the room,” says Ellen Brotman, owner of Fairfax County’s Ellen Brotman Interior Designs (Brotmaninteriors.com). “It’s better to get ahead of the curve so you’re not surprised. You can’t just look at the little paint swatch and see what it’s going to really be like.”

The same theory applies when you choose a paint finish or sheen.

But keeping things dull comes with a price. “Flat finishes are not as easy to clean and are going to

' “Rooms that don’t get used a lot, like a hall or pass-through room, I’ll put really strong colors in those spaces,” Ashcraft says. “You’re not staring at those walls all the time, so it’s not going to tire you out.”

Paint can be a nice way to play up what you like about a room and distract from what you don’t.

“If you don’t have a great-looking architectural detail, don’t highlight it,” Staszak says.

before you paint gives you higher-quality results,” says Jon Wittmaack, who co-hosts the new DIY Network series “Brothers on Call” (Sun., 9 p.m.) with sibling Terry.

Good painting supplies matter, too. “Use the best brush and rollers you can afford,” Ashcraft says.

“Inexpensive bushes drag and rake the paint on, and cheap rollers leave fuzz on walls. If you don’t want to paint again soon, pony up for the best paint you can afford.”

A roll of painter’s tape is a must. “Always tape off any lines or edges,” Wittmaack says. “For someone who doesn’t have a steady hand, tape will give a much cleaner, crisper line than if they try to freehand it.”

And if they’ve got some trusty tape and decent math skills, even novices can pull off a paint job that’s a little more complicated.

With some guidance from HGTV and Home Depot, anesthesiologist Jack Lin, 37, painted stripes in different shades and sheens of red on the walls of the dining room at his home in Herndon, Va. “I did a lot of research on what steps I needed to follow,” he says. “It makes the room look very elegant and rich.”

And isn’t that what we all want when we roll on a fresh coat of paint? “Take risks and don’t be afraid of color,” Wittmaack says.

“To do a faux-finish technique, you have to practice or leave it to the pros,” Staszak says.

“When it’s not done well, it does not look good. It ends up looking kind of cheap.”

AMC’s zombie drama is back — and there isn’t even a glimmer of hope on the horizon

A Happy Acc(id)ent Anyone who seriously studies any kind of art will occasionally be accused of seeing things that aren’t there — I usually hear it as the dismissive “It’s just a MOVIE.” But I stand by the things I find; a film is a universe constructed more diligently than the world we live in, by a creator who we know wanted specific shots, props, colors, whatever.

But recently my belief in the deliberateness of moviemaking got a little 8o Ah_ij[d shaken. I interviewed FW][#A_hXo Mateo Gil, the director of “Blackthorn,” in which Butch Cassidy (Sam Shepard) survived his standoff with the Bolivian police and has been living in the jungle for nearly 30 years. I noticed that Shepard’s Spanish accent was typically “American”: hard “r’s,” rather than the lighter, tapped sound that’s actually appropriate. I asked the director whether that was deliberate, a way to mark Cassidy as an outsider. “It wasn’t my decision,” Gil said. “We tried, [but Shepard] actually has a real American accent talking in Spanish.” So, really, my theory got busted; Sam Shepard simply can’t imitate a Spanish accent.

Does it matter? I think not.

Cassidy’s fluency with the language mirrors the length of time he’s been hiding out, but the fact that he can’t trill his tongue properly forever marks where he came from. It may not have been a deliberate choice on Shepard’s or Gil’s part, but it’s a lucky break that helps Butch Cassidy live again.

J[b[l_i_ed AMC’s hit “The Walking Dead” returns Sunday night, and before we ask whether it’s gotten better as a series, some reference should be made to a bit of backstage tumult: Frank Darabont, who shepherded the original “Walking Dead” graphic novels to series, is off the show, even though his influence will remain strong for the first half of this season’s episodes. (There will be six episodes this fall, with another six in February.) Now the graphic novelist, Robert Kirkman, and the head writer, Glen Mazzara, are in charge.

What happened there?

Don’t know, don’t care. We just want to know whether “The Walking Dead” is still as preoccupied with the socio-psychological dynamic — “The Lord of the Flies”-type desperation of the proto-community — as it was last time around.

It is, but the show seems somehow sleeker and better paced. Characters may now be people first and archetypes second. This has the subtle but immediate effect of making “The Walking Dead” less predictable and more frightening.

Having survived a disastrous dashing of hopes at the all-but-abandoned Centers for Disease Control bunker at the end of last season, our loosely affiliated survivalists have left Atlanta, hoping that military aid awaits them at Fort Benning.

As zombie fare goes, “The Walking Dead” has found just the right mix of believable terror and goopy gross-out. There’s a fine line to it: Some prefer their zombie movies to err on the side of crass humor and excess splatter. Others prefer the shuffling, inexorable realism “The Walking Dead” offers, such as when the group’s leader, Sher-

How the Undead Come to Life Executive producer Greg Nicotero’s craft of special effects makeup — instead of using computer-generated effects — gives the show an eerier feeling as each’s zombie’s human aspects shine through. “I always tell my crew, ‘Make them dirty so I can smell it,’” says Eulyn Womble, the costume designer who takes lighters to clothing to create the zombie look. “I want to look at them and smell how gross and old and dirty they are, and how rotten their flesh is.” (AP)

iff’s Deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and its disgruntled Georgia rebel, Daryl (Norman Reedus), have to cut open a dead zombie to check its stomach contents for evidence of a missing child.

Each episode seems as if it’s avoiding the inevitable demise of everyone. Yet they keep running into pockets of other survivors.

The zombie epidemic seems permanent, which raises the question of how long we can watch a show about something so despairing and futile. What “The Walking Dead” could use, if anything, is just a glimmer of hope. But that doesn’t seem to be where this road leads.

As Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Grimes, Andrew Lincoln is the de facto leader of the survivors in “The Walking Dead.”

The comic chemistry doesn’t gel in this movie about birding

Take three gifted comic actors, put them in a situation rife with hilarious potential with the guy who directed “The Devil Wears Prada” and you get — baited and switched, at least in “The Big Year.”

It’s not that there’s anything particularly wrong with David Frankel’s adaptation of Mark Obmascik’s book about competitive birding. In fact, there’s a lot that’s right with it, starting with the cast: Jack Black plays Brad Harris, a 30ish underachiever living with his parents in Baltimore; Steve Martin plays Stu Preissler, a wealthy tycoon who uses bird watching as a way to escape the torpor of retirement; and Owen Wilson plays Kenny Bostick, whose most recent Big Year — when birders try to see as many rare species

at Kenny’s record, the game is afoot, taking the three as far afield as the Aleutian Islands, the Florida Everglades and points in between.

But somehow, the comic chemistry never seems to ignite in “The Big Year,” which burbles along at the clunky pace of a lowstakes chase. Far too often, the three actors look and feel as if they’re in three different movies.

First-time director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.’s “The Thing” acts as a prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 cult classic, also titled “The Thing,” which itself drew from Howard Hawks and Christian Nyby’s 1951 thriller, “The Thing From Another World.” All three plant their roots in John W. Campbell’s 1938 science-fiction short story, “Who Goes There?,” but the impact diminishes with each installment, the way a Xerox copy fades the more you duplicate it.

This latest film largely mirrors its predecessors, with a shape-shifting alien terrorizing researchers in an isolated, Antarctic base. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Kate Lloyd, an American paleontologist summoned to a frozen dig site where Dr. Halvorson (Ulrich Thomsen) has unearthed a 100,000-yearold space ship and its extraterres-

“Footloose,” the 1984 rebels-androck musical that, alongside “Flashdance,” defined a generation, has been unnecessarily but energetically remade for a new demographic.

The Sony Walkman Kevin Bacon memorably wore in the original has been supplanted by — what else? — an iPod, and his authority-flouting character, Ren McCormack, no longer partakes of the odd beer. But director Craig Brewer has delivered a largely unobjectionable note-for-note facsimile of Herbert Ross’ ode to teenage rebellion, young love and the unfettered joy of movement.

The film opens with an exuberant but also sobering preamble that explains why the Southern town of Bomont has instituted a curfew and banned public dancing and loud

W hen McCormack (Kenny Wormald) blows into Bomont from Boston, he immediately bristles at the strictures. He’s also drawn to Moore’s daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough), the town bad girl.

Ariel still wears red cowboy boots in “Footloose,” which features the classic musical numbers from the original, including Ren’s “angry dance,” and a montage set to “Let’s Hear It for the Boy. “Footloose” never needed to be dragged into the 21st century, but Brewer has made it look and sound a little bit more like the real world.

A PULSE-RACING THRILLER.

“

RYAN GOSLING IS TERRIFIC. GEORGE CLOONEY IS EXCEPTIONAL.” – Peter Travers

GREG WILLIAMS/DREAMWORKS

50/50 (R, 100 minutes) “50/50” doesn’t seek to pretty up the grim realities of cancer; it offers a refreshingly frank glimpse of a world too often distorted

by Hollywood for its own ends, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s even-tempered Adam serving as the ideal guide through both its terrors and improbable gifts.

Chief among a fatal illness’ unexpected silver linings, “50/50” suggests, are the friends and loved ones who show up, however inexpertly. The most clumsy by far is Adam’s best friend, Kyle (Seth Rogen), who battles his own panic by deciding to turn Adam’s disease into a babe magnet. The question of just who, if anyone, will truly show up for Adam turns out to be the fulcrum of “50/50,” a movie that barely makes filmgoers notice that they’ve come to care deeply, not only about whether Adam makes it, but for the friends he makes in chemo, too. A.H. CONTAGION (PG-13, 102 minutes) Before this movie is over, you will stop unconsciously touching your face. The script — which is reportedly based on solid scientific research — is admirably unsensational. And that’s even considering the fact that the virus at the heart of the story has a shorter and more lethal incubation period than anything we’ve previously seen. Gwyneth Paltrow, whose Beth Emhoff is the first to come down with the new disease, is dead minutes into the movie.

Hundreds of millions of victims follow, though Beth’s husband, Mitch, played by a schlubby-looking Matt Damon, remains immune. Along with his teenage daughter, Mitch spends most of the movie sensibly holed up inside his house, as the world around him descends into a chaos of looting and Internet-fueled panic. M.O. DOLPHIN TALE (PG, 113 minutes) Winter the dolphin was 3 months old when crab nets entangled her off the shores of Florida’s Gulf coastline. Marine biologists rescued Winter and nursed her back to health, but not before they had to surgically remove her badly damaged tail. The operation that saved Winter’s life actually created fresh problems. By running Winter’s unique biography through the conventional Hollywood filter, Smith reduces “Dolphin Tale” to “Old Yeller” with a blowhole. Morgan Freeman appears on screen

“GRIPPING

PROVOCATIVE” – Owen Gleiberman

“MR. CLOONEY HANDLES

THE PLOT WITH

Hugh Jackman, shown, coaches his robot boxer during a bout in “Real Steel.” as Dr. McCarthy, an engineer of prosthetic limbs who custom-designs an artificial tail for Winter. The real star, of course, is Winter, who plays herself and rightfully steals every scene. SEAN O’CONNELL DRIVE (R, 100 minutes) Ryan Gosling delivers a slow, white-hot burn of a performance in “Drive,” a nervy, understated ode to one of Hollywood’s most cherished archetypes, the sad-eyed man of few words. Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn neatly manage the hat trick of paying homage to wheelmen of yore while reinvigorating the genre with style, smarts and flashes of wit. Refn, a Danish director, is known for his love of blood, and when the plot of “Drive” quickens, he finds plenty of chances to indulge in his penchant for lurid, stylized violence. But even his most fetishized flourishes are tempered here. Low-key, sleek and sophisticated, “Drive” provides the visceral pleasures of pulp without sacrificing art. A . H .

THE HELP (PG-13, 137 minutes) Fans of Kathryn Stockett’s folksy, ingratiating novel of the same name can rest easy: The director, Tate Taylor has preserved the book’s story line, characters and confiding tone with loyalty worthy of any best friend. Readers who felt they came to intimately know characters such as Celia (Jessica Chastain) and Skeeter (Emma Stone) are likely to greet their alter egos on screen like cherished, long-lost friends — especially the nobly suffering Aibileen. Skeeter gets a job as a newspaper

cleaning-advice columnist, but when she asks Aibileen for some tips, she realizes that the real story lies in the emotional lives of black women who virtually raise their white employers’ children, but who are treated by those same families as unfit to share a kitchen utensil, much less political or economic power. A .H. THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE II: FULL SEQUENCE (Unrated, 88 minutes) There really is no other movie on Earth quite like this. And that’s including the 2009 horror film on which this dismal, nauseating and yet bizarrely artful sequel is based. The original tracked the efforts of a mad scientist to create a set of freakishly conjoined triplets by sewing together three unwilling human subjects, mouth to rectum. Many hard-core horror fans complained that the film was insufficiently graphic in its depiction of the actual procedure. “The Human Centipede II” ought to shut those critics up. The sequel follows Martin, a parking garage attendant obsessed with the first “Centipede” film. Martin intends to replicate the procedure. Martin may be mad, but he is no scientist, and he carries out his butchery with an assortment of nastylooking cutting implements. M.O. THE IDES OF MARCH (R, 101 minutes) The rhetoric, combined with the Shepard Fairey-inspired graphics, suggests that “The Ides of March” will offer fresh, ofthe-moment commentary on post-Obama political culture. But viewers looking Continued on page 28

for penetrating insight — rather than a well-crafted political potboiler — will come away sorely disappointed. Granted, director and star George Clooney elicits terrific performances from his players, gamely letting Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ryan Gosling and Paul Giamatti take the lion’s share of the film’s most toothsome dialogue. Indeed, “The Ides of March” is so well directed and acted that it’s easy to overlook how dated and shallow it is. Rather than probe the system it abhors, “The Ides of March” is content simply to reassure the audience that it’s still rotting from within. A .H. KILLER ELITE (R. 115 minutes) In this simultaneously silly and overwrought action thriller, Jason Statham plays Danny Bryce, a professional assassin with a soft spot. Living with blood on his hands seems pretty easy for Danny, despite his decision to get out of the business after almost blowing a little girl’s head off. After a mere year’s vacation, however, Danny’s back in the game when he learns that an Arab sheik has taken his BFF and former partner Hunter (Robert De Niro) hostage. It seems that Hunter is being used as leverage to get Danny to carry out one last assignment. As it turns out, Danny’s special-ops victims had been taking orders from a shadowy fellow who gets his marching orders from a bunch of even more shadowy fellows.

Needless to say, they want Danny dead.

We’ve got another portmanteau word

for the movie: unbelievaballistic. M.O. MONEYBALL (PG-13, 133 minutes) Filmmaker Bennett Miller barely puts a foot wrong in bringing to life the tale of Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane. In 2002, Beane (Brad Pitt) sought to rebuild the slumping A’s and revolutionize baseball recruiting using “Sabermetrics.” Miller has done a superb job of underplaying Pitt’s native magnetism, which nonetheless peeks out enough to dazzle Yale-educated computer whiz Peter Brand (Jonah Hill, playing a character based on Paul DePodesta). The secret of “Moneyball” isn’t just that it makes viewers root for Beane and Brand, but for their motley crew of castoffs. It’s difficult to review “Moneyball” without using the term “home run.” So let’s just say that it rounds all the bases with grace, modesty and a surfeit of heart. A .H. REAL STEEL (PG-13, 126 minutes) Hugh Jackman plays Charlie Kenton, a washedup boxer who is eking out a meager living in which he enters fighting ’bots in matches. The problem is, Charlie isn’t very good at it. Making matters worse is the sudden appearance in Charlie’s life of Max, his 11-year-old son. This sets the stage for two things. On the one hand, it’s the redemption of Charlie’s career, courtesy of Max, a video-game whiz kid.

On the other hand, it’s a rapprochement of sorts between the estranged father and his son. Both threads center on Max’s efforts to restore and train a battered robot that he finds in a junkyard. M.O. TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL (R. 89 minutes) “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil” is hardly the first horror comedy, but it benefits

J.D. WHAT ’S YOUR NUMBER? ( R, 106 minutes) The premise of “What’s Your Number?” is statistical. After breaking up with Rick — Ally’s 19th lover — Ally (Anna Faris) reads in a women’s magazine that most women who have had 20 or more sex partners will never get married. Panicking, Ally vows to stay celibate until she can dig up as many of her exes as possible, hoping that one of them has turned into the man of her dreams.

from a sweetness not found in many of its peers. There’s gore here, but one never has the impression that this story was constructed to show off the special effects team’s gloopiest gimmicks. Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine) are working-class Appalachian fellas headed to a deep-woods shack. As they briefly cross paths with a generic crew of good-timing college campers, the film introduces its crossed-wires M.O.: The guys are tongue-tied and goofy in the face of young, pretty girls, and the youngsters misinterpret their awkward grins as sinister taunts straight out of “Deliverance.”

When, in the woods, Tucker and Dale wind up saving one of the girls from drowning, her pals think they’ve kidnapped her. Their inept “rescue” attempt gets some of them killed, and each accidental death fuels two opposite theories.

We knew Georgetown considered itself separate (possibly “better than”) the rest of D.C., but we now have confirmation: Despite the fact that Taste of DC happened last weekend, this Saturday brings Taste of Georgetown. Keep your precious Apple Store! We have Metro! We are the 99 percent! More than 30 restaurants (including Mie N Yu, Baked and Wired, and 1789) will offer tastings in exchange for food tickets. Wisconsin Avenue and M Street NW; Sat., 11 a.m., $5 per tasting ticket or five for $20; Tasteofgeorgetown.com.

Loretta Lynn’s frilly ball gown-wearing grande dame of country act might be difficult to handle if she weren’t so obviously the grande dame of country. Think of her as Cinderella to Dolly Parton’s Jessica Rabbit.

But Lynn’s hardly a traditional girly-girl type — she worked her own way up from desperate poverty in Kentucky to country superstardom and sang an anthem to the wonders of birth control (it’s called “The Pill”). 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Sat., 7 p.m., $55; 202-265-0930, 930.com. (U St.-Cardozo)

FWhWde_Z eh Fh[iY_[dj5 Uncertainty, anxiety and ambiguity fuel ‘Homeland’s’ charm :hWcW IKD

In the gripping Show-

CIA agent Carrie Mathison is never done obsessing over a problem America faces: flushing out terrorists. Her job is uncovering terrorist threats in the Middle East, but lately she feels she has dropped the ball.

Then she becomes convinced that the recent discovery of Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody — rescued from a cell in Iraq, where he had been MIA since 2003 — isn’t what it seems. She suspects that Brody was turned by the enemy and planted for American troops to find. She believes that Brody, who has returned to America as a national hero, is an instru-

SHOWTIME

'&0&& time drama “Homeland,”

In “Homeland,” Claire Danes’ Carrie thinks a hero is part of a terrorist ploy.

ment of an al-Qaeda plot to be carried out on U.S. soil.

Is he really? Where is her evidence? Is time running out for her to prove her alarming theory? Or is Carrie — who, by the way, pops pills

to manage her bipolar disorder — sabotaging her career by obsessively stalking an innocent man?

That is the dicey premise of “Homeland,” whose third episode premieres on Sunday.

Brody is played by Damian Lewis; Claire Danes stars as Carrie.

“I’m still not entirely clear what it is we’re making,” Danes says, “and I’m so embedded in the process of making it that I can’t see the forest for the trees.”

Her professed lack of clarity suggests there will be no quick or easy answers to the series’ central question: Is Nicholas Brody a terrorist turncoat, or is Carrie Mathison beset by paranoid delusions?

But that’s all part of the series’ thrilling charm.

At many levels, it’s “found a way to articulate our current national experience, which is full of uncertainty and ambiguity and anxiety,” Danes says. FR A ZIER MOORE (AP)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good day to seriously consider an idea that you discarded as being too unconventional only a short time ago.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Read up on what you do not know well and you will surely be in a better position to field certain requests, comments and complaints.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have the sense that something is holding you back, and yet you cannot quite put your finger on it. Clarity comes during the evening.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your sense of humor may get you into some trouble, as you are willing to laugh at some things others do not find at all funny.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Versatility is the key to being successful; the moment you think doing only one thing is enough, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find yourself bringing up the rear.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can share some information with a friend that takes him or her by surprise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but much of it should have been obvious, really!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) It may be time to wrap up a period of increased creative activity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but take care that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave anyone hanging as a result.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may want to take charge of a situation that others have let get out of hand in some way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but know that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to solve everything.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can share ideas and dreams with those around you, but you must acknowledge that there is only so much you can actually do to realize them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Putting yourself in anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes is always a good way to maximize your understanding of a situation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but today it may not work as planned.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still be chasing dreams even after you accomplish something highly personal and quite important. You must always forge ahead!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may be surprised by the news you receive from a friend or loved one concerning a third party who is dear to both of you.

Theodore Roosevelt, campaigning for the presidency, is shot in the chest in Milwaukee. Despite the wound, he goes ahead with a scheduled speech.

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: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
