— HERMAN CAIN, SPEAKING SATURDAY ABOUT THE USE OF WATERBOARDING.

Cain’s Words Fuel Fire Comments undercut confidence in GOP hopeful, analysts say MWi^_d]jed Many Republican voters are drawn to Herman Cain’s forceful campaign style. But an examination of his comments and proposals raises questions about his grasp of issues

he would face if elected.

Cain has drawn attention for contradictory or unorthodox comments on such topics as abortion and torture, and has struggled at times to answer questions. On a few occasions he has corrected himself, on others he has laughed off critics.

His style appeals to some conservatives, especially those weary of politicians. But what some find

refreshing strikes others as betraying a troubling inexperience.

The latest incident involved Cain’s struggle Monday to say whether he agreed with President Obama’s handling of Libya.

Cain talked of having “all this stuff twirling around in my head.”

Cain is far more steeped in business than politics. He has been a top executive at Pillsbury Co. and Burger King, and president and

CEO of Godfather’s Pizza.

It’s not unusual for presidential hopefuls to falter. Obama, a Harvard Law School standout, once spoke of the nation’s “57 states.”

Still, Cain’s flubs or debatable assertions suggest he is “not surviving the glare of the spotlight right now,” Chris Chocola, head of the conservative Club for Growth, said Tuesday on MSNBC. Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon acknowledged that Cain has been forced to explain some remarks.

“You have thousands of hours of on-the-record interviews,” he said.

“There are going to be instances where you may have to make clarifications based on the extreme level of scrutiny in the media spotlight.”

Boehner Backs GOP Plan Endorsement for tax overhaul comes as debt deadline nears MWi^_d]jed House Speaker John Boehner publicly blessed a Republican deficitreduction plan Tuesday that would raise $300 billion in additional tax revenue while overhauling the IRS code, bucking opposition by some GOP colleagues wary of violating a longstanding point of party orthodoxy.

Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, spoke as time grew perilously short for agreement by the deficit-fighting “supercommittee.” The panel has until a week from Wednesday to vote on any compromise, but several officials said that in reality, perhaps as little as 48 or 72 hours are available

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ Though House Speaker John Boehner’s voice is important for the debt supercommittee, his endorsement does not mean all Republicans will follow him or that a deal is in sight. The GOP has been unified for two decades in opposition to higher taxes, while Democrats insist on additional revenue before they will agree to cuts in such programs as Medicare as part of a deal. (AP)

to the six Republicans and six Democrats.

The speaker said that the plan, outlined by Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., a week ago, was “a fair offer.” Adding tax reform would generate economic growth, he said, speaking as the supercommittee groped uncertainly for a compromise to reduce red ink by $1.2 trillion or

more over a decade.

Any deal must be certified by the Congressional Budget Office as meeting the $1.2 trillion target, circulated to lawmakers and posted publicly before the committee takes formal action. Failure to act would trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic deficit cuts in 2013 that both sides say they want to avoid.

The full committee hasn’t met in several days, but various subgroups have been in near constant contact.

More than deficit reduction is at stake, one year into an era of divided government.

Democrats are hoping to add elements of President Obama’s jobs legislation to any deficit-cutting deal, including extensions of a Social Security payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits that are due to expire at the end of the year. DAVID ESPO (AP)

Solyndra Agreed to Delay Layoffs Emails: Energy Dept. urged solar company to act post-’10 elections MWi^_d]jed The Obama administration urged officers of the struggling solar company Solyndra to postpone announcing planned layoffs until after the November 2010 midterm elections, newly released e-mails show.

Solyndra, the now-shuttered California company, had been a poster child of President Obama’s initiative to invest in clean energies and received the administration’s

first energy loan of $535 million.

But a year ago, in October 2010, the solar panel manufacturer was quickly running out of money and had warned the Energy Department it would need emergency cash to avoid having to shut down.

The new e-mails about the layoff announcement were released Tuesday morning as part of a House Energy and Commerce committee memo, provided in advance of Energy Secretary Steven Chu’s scheduled testimony before the investigative committee Thursday.

Solyndra’s chief executive warned the Energy Department on Oct. 25, 2010, that he intended

Argonaut is a private equity firm of George Kaiser, who advised his investor deputies on how to approach the White House to help the solar company with its financial problems. On Nov. 3, 2010 — a day after the midterm elections — Solyndra announced it would lay off 40 workers and 150 contractors, and shut down its Fab 1 factory. ( T WP)

Palestinians Edge Toward Unity Plan to hold elections marks a crucial step to heal a 4-year rift HWcWbbW^" M[ij 8Wda The rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas have agreed to hold elections next May, a senior official said Tuesday, in what would be a major step toward ending a four-year rift.

Azzam al-Ahmad, a senior Fatah negotiator, said the sides agreed on the election plan in secret talks and are expected to formally approve it Nov. 25 in Cairo. The plan calls for the establishment of a caretaker government to prepare for the vote — most likely without current Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

Dismissing Fayyad would be a huge gamble, as he is widely respected in the West and key to

FWb[ij_d_Wd :_l_Z[ Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas heads the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority, which favors negotiated peace with Israel. The Palestinian Authority has governed only the West Bank since rival Hamas overran the Gaza Strip in 2007, leaving the Palestinians divided between two governments ever since.

Khaled Mashaal serves as the supreme leader of Hamas, which has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks, and has refused to renounce violence or accept existing partial peace accords. Any government that includes Hamas would be shunned by Israel and the West, which have labeled the group a terrorist organization. (AP)

ensuring hundreds of millions of dollars of international aid. Hamas objects to Fayyad’s participation in a caretaker government, claiming

he is a pawn of the West.

The Palestinians claim both the West Bank and Gaza for a future state. Israeli officials say it

is impossible to reach peace as long as Hamas controls Gaza.

Hamas and Fatah first signed a reconciliation plan last May calling for elections and a caretaker government, but the plan has not been implemented, in part because of disagreements over Fayyad.

Fayyad said he would not stand in the way of an agreement. “I call upon the factions to find a new prime minister and stop claiming that I’m the obstacle, because I was never an obstacle and will never be,” he said.

Salah Bardawil, a Hamas leader in Gaza, said his group is ready to move forward on reconciliation if Fayyad is out of the picture.

Even if a deal is reached, implementing it is far from certain. The sides would have to agree on ministers in the new government, budget issues and how to combine security forces. MOHAMMED DAR AGHMEH (AP)

Kidnappers Run Rampant in Venezuela Bold rescue of Nats’ Ramos highlights ()n a swell in violence LWb[dY_W" L[d[pk[bW Alvaro Ochoa remembers it happening fast: two cars cutting off his, then gunmen kidnapping him and his girlfriend. The two were left bound in a shack, while their captors demanded tens of thousands of dollars in ransom money.

Freedom came, but not with the kind of action-film rescue that delivered Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos from his abductors on Friday. Instead, Ochoa’s father paid up.

The rise in abductions in Venezuela this year compared to President Hugo Chavez’s first year in office, 1999. The government says there’ve been 1,050 kidnappings this year. (AP)

Ochoa’s abduction in 2010 became one of hundreds reported each year in Venezuela. The government has recorded 1,050 kidnappings this year, 23 times as many as took place in President Hugo Chavez’s first year in office, 1999. But surveys by the National Statistics Institute, a state entity, suggest thousands more might take place.

LEXANDER LOIZA/AP

The Nationals’ Wilson Ramos walks in Valencia, Venezuela, on Saturday, a day after he was rescued from captors.

Venezuela leads the region in abductions, far surpassing another country once notorious for them, Colombia, which last year record-

ed 282. As Chavez campaigns for re-election next year, polls show Venezuelans believe the problem worsened, a challenge for Chavez as he tries to show that the state can protect Venezuelans, said analyst Luis Vicente Leon.

Experts place much of the blame for the kidnappings on an ineffective government. Corruption is rife among police, and the judicial system, controlled by Chavez, lacks independence.

“The people who kidnapped me weren’t specialists,” Ochoa, 28, said. “They were common criminals, and what they did to me one day, they probably did to someone else the next.” J U A N F O R E R O

don said Tuesday they were resuming legal action to evict a protest camp outside St. Paul’s Cathedral after talks with the demonstrators stalled. More than 200 tents have been pitched outside the iconic church for a month in a protest inspired by New York’s Occupy Wall Street.

Occupy Wall Street protesters clash with police at Zuccotti Park after being ordered to leave their longtime encampment in New York early Tuesday morning.

Protests in Limbo A predawn raid on Occupy Wall Street muddies the movement’s future D[m Oeha Hundreds of police officers in riot gear raided the Occupy Wall Street encampment in New York City in the predawn hours Tuesday, evicted hundreds of protesters and then demolished the tent city, leaving the future of the demonstration in limbo.

The police action began around 1 a.m. and lasted several hours as officers with batons and plastic shields pushed the protesters from their base at Zuccotti Park. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said about 200 people were arrested, including dozens who tried to resist the eviction by linking arms in a tight circle at the center of the park. A member of the City Council was among those arrested during the sweep.

By 4:30 a.m., the park was

In three successive days, police in riot gear in Portland, Ore.; Oakland, Calif.; and New York City swarmed into their cities’ Wall Street encampments and roused protesters from their tents and cleared them out. If it seemed these far-flung cities were talking with each other — they were. As many as 40 cities with Occupy protests across the country participated in conference calls aimed at finding nonviolent ways to clear encampments officials believe have become increasingly unsanitary and dangerous.

IjWo_d] ?d :$9$ Multiple D.C. Council members said Tuesday the National Park Service should continue to monitor the Occupy D.C. encampments, but see no reason to break them up. Since early October, Occupy protesters have camped in McPherson Square while an affiliate group, Stop the Machine, have erected tents in Freedom Plaza to protest what they see as corporate greed.

empty, wiped clean of any traces of the camp that had been there since Sept. 17. Tents and sleeping bags were hauled away to the dump.

Workers used power washers to blast the stone plaza clean.

It wasn’t clear what would happen next to the demonstration.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said protesters would be welcomed back but would no longer be allowed to erect tents or unroll sleeping bags.

A judge’s ruling later in the day upheld the city’s crackdown.

“I don’t know what we’ll do,” said Chris Habib, a 36-year-old artist from New York who was milling with other protesters near Zuccotti Park. He said he hoped the group could settle on a new

protest site. He said he was confident the movement would continue even if its flagship camp was dismantled.

“A judge can’t erase a movement from the public mind,” he said.

Hundreds of ousted protesters spent the day marching through Manhattan, chanting and looking for a new space to gather. There were skirmishes between protesters and police. Several journalists were arrested while trying to cover the marches.

The surprise action came two days short of the two-month anniversary of the encampment.

Bloomberg said he ordered the sweep because health and safety conditions had become “intolerable” in the crowded plaza.

“From the beginning, I have said that the city has two principal goals: guaranteeing public health and safety, and guaranteeing the protesters’ First Amendment rights,” he said.

“But when those two goals clash, the health and safety of the public and our first responders must be the priority.” (AP)

EH;=ED0 A group of key Occupy Portland demonstrators say they’re breaking off ties with the city and police amid allegations by demonstrators that police used excessive force when they broke up a downtown camp that protesters had held for five weeks.

A protester was hospitalized after officers dragged him away, and he now says officers beat and “brutalized” him.

Police say it never happened, and he was simply pulled away from a dangerous situation when he fell to the ground between protesters and riot police.

97B?<EHD?70 Anti-Wall Street activists converged at the University of California, Berkeley on Tuesday for a day of protests and another attempt to set up an Occupy Cal camp, less than a week after police arrested dozens of demonstrators who tried to set up tents on campus. The Berkeley protesters will be joined by Occupy Oakland activists, who said they would march to the UC campus in the afternoon. A gunman opened fire Tuesday inside a campus building while the protesters were there, but it was unclear whether the incident was related.

C7II79>KI;JJI0 Hip-hop mogul and political activist Russell Simmons told protesters at the Occupy Boston encampment Tuesday that it will take dramatic action to rid the American political system of corporate influence. “The Occupy movement is under attack,” Simmons said, adding that there is no contradiction in a multimillionaire such as himself supporting a movement demanding economic equity.

Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf, a Republican, is pushing for members of the airport authority board to be prohibited from serving past the end of their terms.

The legislation would also allow

for members to be “removed for cause.”

The bill would increase the size of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority board from 13 to 17.

Virginia would receive two new appointments and Maryland and the Dist r ic t would each receive one Wolf additional member. The changes are part of the funding bill for the U.S. Department of Transportation. The House is expected to vote on the bill Thursday; the Senate on Friday.

In a press release, Wolf’s office said he “pushed for the changes after growing increasingly frustrated by the board.”

Earlier this year, Wolf and other lawmakers had requested the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Inspector General Office audit MWAA’s operations.

“These airports are the economic engine for the region and with MWAA responsible for the Dulles rail project, ensuring that Virginia has more say and that board members are current and more accountable is more important than ever,” Wolf said in the press release.

“Everything possible must be done to keep the rail project on budget to keep the tolls as low as possible.” DA N A H E D G P E T H (THE WASHINGTON POST )

8WYaijeho Board members for MWAA have typically served until their replacement is in place. But U.S. Rep Frank Wolf cited an incident earlier this year where a board member whose term expired in January 2009 and had not been replaced was voting by proxy from Africa. The board member was finally replaced in April. In addition, a board member’s term ends at the end of November, and Wolf said it is unclear if the replacement process has begun. “Board members need to be replaced when their terms end,” Wolf said. “If the officials making the appointments know that the seat is going to be vacant, maybe there will be more of an incentive to make appointments in a more timely fashion.” (T WP)

MWi^_d]jed Walmart will announce Wednesday that it intends to open six stores in the District, two more than it originally planned, and broaden its reach east of the Anacostia River, an area grappling with unemployment and a lack of retail amenities, city officials said.

The expected announcement will come a year after the company revealed its aggressive plan to enter D.C. for the first time, a push for the Arkansas-based company that has saturated rural and sub-

urban areas and has begun moving into major urban markets.

It also will consummate a dogged effort by Mayor Vincent C. Gray and Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown, a Democrat, to persuade Walmart to open at Skyland Town Center, a long-neglected Southeast shopping center that has been mired in land disputes.

Most recently, Gray, a Democrat, personally called Bill Simon, president and chief executive of WalMart U.S., to ask what the city could do to get the company to expedite a store at Skyland.

Besides Skyland, the other new site is in Fort Totten in Northeast, where a Walmart will fill the first floor of an apartment development called Fort Totten Square.

M^[h[ je I^ef Walmart previously announced plans for stores at these spots.

Walmart spokesman Steven Restivo said the stores would create 1,800 jobs, offer fresh groceries in under-served areas and pay competitively.

“What we’ve said all along is that our wages and benefits are as good, if not better, than the majority of businesses we would compete with that are currently doing business in D.C., union or not union. So we feel really good about the competitive nature of our offerings,” Restivo said.

Fairfax County school officials say they will decide whether to install indoor surveillance cameras by the end of the year.

The current school board will take up the issue on Dec. 1 or at its last meeting, on Dec. 15. If the measure passes, high schools would be allowed to install cameras in cafeterias and other campus hot spots.

Many board members say they are ready to vote for the cameras in an effort to boost student safety. Some board members, however, have raised concerns about privacy and trust. (AP)

The Time Is Right For Occupy NBA Just as time is running out on Occupy protesters in public parks, it looks like the clock is close to expiring on an NBA season.

Here’s a perfect chance to combine the two and have the protesters take up residence in NBA arenas.

Think about it: Those winter months were going to be brutal anyway. Venues such as Verizon Center offer heat, shelter and over8o CWjj priced food!

Im[died As a bonus, there will be entertainment — like Cirque du Soleil, which is filling the Wizards’ home this weekend.

Oh, by the way, if these protesters are serious about hating on greedy millionaires, the NBA lockout is their type of cause.

?\ j^[i[ fhej[ij[hi Wh[ i[h_eki WXekj ^Wj_d] ed ]h[[Zo c_bb_edW_h[i" j^[ D87 beYaekj _i j^[_h jof[ e\ YWki[$ Commissioner David Stern is right to say that players are just trying to make an extra buck by standing up to an ultimatum. Of course, the owners caused the league’s financial crisis in the first place by not sticking to a budget they could afford.

The average NBA player’s salary is $5.15 million, according to NBA.com.

That would still be insane even if the U.S. economy weren’t going in the tank.

Neither side is right in this labor dispute. If the owners couldn’t afford to lose money on teams, they’d sell them, and players have it way too good with their guaranteed, huge deals.

Just play the game — and stop complaining. We need an Occupy NBA movement already.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo plays against the Seahawks earlier this month. Now healthy, Romo is leading the suddenly surging Cowboys, who have won two-straight games.

Holy Cow(boys) Up-and-down Dallas is unpredictably back in playoff contention Fhe <eejXWbb Very little has gone predictably for the Dallas Cowboys this season.

But they will come to town for Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field with their hopes suddenly buoyed for a stretch run to a playoff spot.

The Cowboys are on a two-game winning streak and are coming off a performance that produced their most lopsided triumph in 11 years.

Quarterback Tony Romo has pronounced the fractured rib he suffered earlier this season fully healed.

place New York Giants (6-3) in the NFC East and have an advantage in the relative strength of the teams’ upcoming schedules. So there are plenty of reasons for the Cowboys to feel optimistic about their lateseason chances as they prepare to face the slumping Redskins.

This season, few NFL teams have

been as difficult to figure out as the Cowboys. There have been the most deflating of defeats, beginning on opening night when Romo lost a fumble and threw a late interception to help turn a two-touchdown, fourth-quarter lead into a threepoint loss to the New York Jets.

There was an early-October defeat in which the Detroit Lions returned two interceptions of Romo passes for touchdowns to start their rally from a 27-3 deficit. There was a narrow loss at New England when the Dallas defense couldn’t stop Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in crunch time, and there was a forgettable late-October performance at Philadelphia that resulted in a 27-point defeat.

Their 37-point win over the Bills on Sunday was the Cowboys’ largest margin of victory since a 41-point triumph over the Arizona Cardinals in October 2000.

“We needed a win against a team that we had this kind of respect for, and it will help us be a better team,” owner Jerry Jones said after the 44-7 win over Buffalo.

The U.S. celebrates its first goal in a 3-2 win in a friendly against Slovenia Tuesday.

U.S. Finds Scoring Touch in Slovenia Americans net 3-2 victory in fog-filled exhibition match IeYY[h The United States won for just the second time since Jurgen Klinsmann took over as coach, winning 3-2 over Slovenia after Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore scored in a three-minute spell late in the first half on Tuesday.

Klinsmann, the former German star and coach, switched to a more attack-oriented 4-4-2 and was rewarded when Edson Buddle hit the opening goal. However, Tim Matavz scored twice for Slovenia, on either side of the goals from Dempsey and Altidore.

The win on a foggy night in Ljubljana was the 34th-ranked Americans’ first in Europe in six matches and 3½ years.

At last year’s World Cup, the two teams drew 2-2 in the group

stage. The U.S. had lost four times in Klinsmann’s six previous matches in charge since replacing Bob Bradley in late July.

“It looked much better,” Klinsmann said. “It’s a process, and that process, besides results, is going really well.”

This Notice informs the public that the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (“Commission”) seeks input on the rate application submitted by the Potomac Electric Power Company (“Pepco”) requesting authority to increase existing distribution service rates and charges for electric service in the District of Columbia. Pepco proposes a revenue requirement increase of $42.1 million. Pepco is the sole distributor of electric power to homes and businesses in the District; hence the Commission will set Pepco’s distribution service rates in this rate case and not the cost of electricity itself.

• Pepco requests authority to earn an 8.64% Rate of Return, including a Return on Equity of 10.75%.

Per the PSC’s decision in Formal Case No. 1076, rendered in March 2010, Pepco’s current allowed Rate of Return is 8.01%, including a Return on Equity of 9.625%.

• Pepco proposes a Reliability Investment Recovery Mechanism (“RIM”) surcharge that would provide for annual rate adjustments to recover the reliability related costs of certain investments in Pepco’s distribution system.

• Pepco seeks cost recovery for its investments in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (“AMI”).

• Pepco proposes to recover incremental customer care expenses relating to initiatives that Pepco is undertaking to enhance customer service. Pepco states that this initiative includes four major components: personnel, telecommunication infrastructure (hardware and software), storm readiness, and customer education/market research.

• Pepco’s proposals would add about $5.00 to the monthly bill for the typical residential customer and increase the minimum monthly customer charge from $6.65 per month to $10.40 for the standard (R) class and from $6.65 to $12.39 for the All-Electric residential (AE) class.

The Commission published a Public Notice on July 22, 2011, regarding this application in the D.C. Register to allow interested persons to intervene in Formal Case No. 1087, the formal case established to adjudicate Pepco’s application. The Public Notice can be accessed online at www.dcpsc.org or viewed at any public library. A hard copy of the Public Notice can be obtained by calling (202) 626-5150.

Verlander Wins Cy Young; Is MVP Next?

YOU The Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area (CFCNCA) would like to express their deepest gratitude to everyone helping make this historic 50th Anniversary of the Combined Federal Campaign both a success and a year to remember.

The campaign is fortunate to have thousands of Federal volunteers whose dedication of service, time and energy raise funds to bring hope in our neighborhoods, across the nation and around the world. Each volunteer provides a vital link to more than 4,100 charitable organizations, which depend on the CFCNCA to provide resources to accomplish their mission.

Lastly, but most important, thank you to the outstanding Federal employees who continue to make charitable donations despite the economic climate. It is the collective spirit and kindness of giving that is the unifying force which makes this world a better place.

About this section: This advertising special section was prepared for the Advertising Custom Content department of The Washington Post in conjunction with the Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area and did not involve The Washington Post news or editorial departments. For more information, please contact Marc H. Rosenberg, Senior Advertising Manager, at 202-334-7634 or Kathryn Whitener, Account Manager, Charity Organizations at 202-334-6171. The official website for the CFCNCA is www.cfcnca.org.

“W are grateful to everyone at Children’s National.

“We We W shudder to think what would have happened to our daughter if we were not sent there.”

- Jennifer Moore, Federal Employee

Jennifer Moore’s daughter, Amari, began receiving treatment at Children’s National while in utero. She underwent open heart surgery at only six months old. The Moores are grateful to all the doctors, nurses and staff who helped care for Amari during that critical time.

That’s why they choose to donate to Children’s National through the CFC every year.

Help support Children’s National Medical Center, so it can support children like Amari.

Lifting Spirits Working for a number of years until the age of 62, James shared his passion for lifting others’ spirits with his hobby of creating inspirational cards for fellow employees and patients at a CFCNCA-supported hospital.

Little did he know, James would soon be the beneficiary of the very same support of a different CFCNCA-supported charity.

Unfortunately, there were events in James’ life, which led him to a selfdestructive path of heavy drinking and even depression. Reluctant to seek help, he found himself in and out of homes and eventually mental hospitals. “It’s funny how I was able to lift other people up, but I couldn’t lift myself up.”

to the D.C. charity. “They care about you.

They actually care about you. Everything that my counselor told me would happen, has happened.”

Thanks to the funds generated by the CFCNCA, James’ charity provided the critical resources to help him break the vicious cycle of homelessness by providing him with treatment, counseling and affordable housing.

It is because of the support of the CFCNCA that James returned to making up-lifting cards for others and continues to give back; he even turned part of his living space into an art studio in hopes of inspiring others.

Luckily, he found the courage to seek the needed help at a CFCNCA-supported charity in a local neighborhood. Here the charity provided life’s basics of shelter, food and emotional support. James made exceptional progress and feels indebted

Alejandro Ortiz Receives the Gift of Sight Early on, Alejandro’s parents sensed that something was different about him. As an infant, he cried loudly every time he was taken out into bright sun light. After visiting several doctors, his parents finally learned that Alejandro was born with congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy disease. A year after this diagnosis, his parents received further shock upon learning that Alejandro was going quickly blind and that a transplant was the only sure means of saving his sight.

That is when a CFCNCA-supported charity stepped in and saved Alejandro’s vision, changing his life forever. Through the assistance of the charity, Alejandro received a cornea transplant in his left eye. The Ortiz family feels extremely grateful to the CFCNCA charity that helped to find Alejandro a donor. Thanks in part to your donations, Alejandro now has the opportunity to grow up and see the world in all its beauty.

Vietnamese Orphans and Caretakers Vaccinated Against Influenza Approximately 70 percent of children in orphanages throughout Vietnam become ill with the flu each year. More often than not, orphanages are ill equipped to handle these infections, which often results in this highly infectious illness spreading quickly in the form of an outbreak. While death is not a common result of the flu, young children are at a far greater risk if not treated properly.

Recently, a CFCNCA-supported charity launched a program in Vietnam focused on administering flu vaccinations to at-risk orphans and their caretakers. In part, thanks to the money raised through the CFCNCA, this program provided vaccinations for 433 orphans and 107 caretakers in five separate orphanages.

Thanks to your support, these children can continue to learn, grow and play free of sickness and infection.

Vietnamese orphans and volunteers benefit greatly from the vaccinations offered by a CFCNCA-supported charity.

EPA Mascot Promotes Esprit De Corps Each year, the Office of the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) chooses a mascot related to the Office sponsoring the campaign. The 2011 EPA sponsor is the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, and they chose Officer Beary, a teddy bear from the Vermont as this year’s mascot.

For the duration of the campaign, weekly categories are established to increase completion, awareness and funds. Such categories include: first to make a pledge; most paperless pledges; closest to the goal and others. The winners of each weekly category get a week-long visit from Officer Beary in hopes of increasing competition in other offices whilst rewarding the hard work of that particular office.

It is Officer Beary’s loving and soft demeanor that helps to keep CFCNCA in the spotlight promoting the healthy spirit of competition while encouraging others to give. The campaign looks forward to new and invigorating ideas, like mascots, to support the critical work of the CFCNCA in the years to come.

Officer Beary is the EPA CFCNCA mascot representing the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.

Nearly 19 million people became victims of crime last year.

The CFCNCA Welcomes New LFCC Chair, Brandon Haller As a seasoned employee of the government, Brandon Haller brings with him more than a halfdecade of experience working with the CFCNCA. While this year marks his first year as Chair of the LFCC, Brandon has served as Vice Chair and Corporate Secretary in the past for the LFCC. His involvement began on the campaign as a volunteer, thanks to the encouragement from an active CFCNCA member recruiting him to support the LFCC. Soon thereafter, he became an officer and had the responsibility of developing and executing long-range planning for the campaigns’ various activities and initiatives.

“I am honored to serve as the LFCC Chair and expand Federal workplace giving. The economic downturn has taken its toll on workers everywhere, and federal employees are no exception,” Haller states. “Despite these obstacles in a stalled economy, Federal employees continue to give.”

Brandon Haller speaks to CFCNCA volunteers at the Mid Campaign Lunch.

Haller’s career as a Federal employee spans 11 years with the U.S. Government Accountability Office. In his capacity there, Haller is a part of the applied research and methods group. For the past year, he helped lead the physical infrastructure team as the assistant director focusing on transportation and safety issues in aviation.

Haller expressed complete confidence that this year’s campaign would meet its fundraising goals. “Workers don’t go into Federal government to make a ton of money. They choose this field because they are dedicated to the public service and care about the work they do.” Haller adds, “They also care about giving back and helping others in need as an extension of their public service, which is evidenced by a steady and impressive average donation rate of about $500 for each Federal employee.”

WHO DOES POVERTY HURT THE MOST?

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women.

WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease is the only national organization supporting the 42 million American women living with or at risk for heart disease and the devastating effects of this chronic and life threatening condition.

Through the efforts of WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, more than 45% of our national volunteers have been credited with saving a life through our educational and support initiatives.

We began as an orphanage nearly 112 years ago, providing a home to children whose families were impacted by the extreme poverty of the Great Depression.

National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease empowered me with the support, education and strength to find my voice to share my story and become a champion for women’s heart health.

Virgie

Today, as a national leader, UMFS provides services annually to over 7,500 children and families in crisis both in communites across Virginia and through our intensive treatment centers in Richmond and Fairfax.

Wounded Warriors go Scuba Diving Recently, a CFCNCA-supported charity began teaching many of the injured veterans at a local hospital in San Antonio, Texas, how to scuba dive. The facilities at the hospital were ideal for teaching soldiers with missing limbs how to work under water with diving equipment. Participants took to the activity with a positive attitude and, once certified for open water diving, went on weekend trips to try their newfound skills in a real deep-water environment.

The charity took 30 wounded warriors on two separate trips to Panama City, Florida, to test their abilities and enjoy their newly acquired skills. Both trips were huge successes. The reports that the wounded warriors brought back stirred a major interest in the diving program at the hospital as a worthwhile rehabilitative program and they now have a waiting list of injured veterans eager to qualify.

The program has been a true success story. It enables a great number of wounded warriors to learn new skills, become active in areas that they thought might be lost to them and regain an enormous amount of optimism. The program serves as a wonderful example of how your gifts can deliver hope to people and communities in need.

A CFCNCA-supported charity gives wounded warriors the opportunity to scuba dive to help rehabilitation.

After Sudden Disaster, Son of Federal Worker Receives Full Care Five years ago, Lois Wellman, an employee of the Department of Interior, and her family suffered a terrible disaster when their house exploded due to a propane gas leak. At the time of the explosion, Lois’ 13-year-old son, Jordan, was inside the house and hit directly by the blast. Because of the explosion and the fire that quickly engulfed their home, Jordan suffered severe burns over 58 percent of his body. In most cases, people with over 50 percent body burns seldom survive.

Jordan remained in the hospital for 51 days. He endured intense physical therapy, participated in a school re-entry program so that he would not fall behind in his education and underwent many surgical procedures to minimize his scarring.

hospital. Additionally, funding aided the skin graft medical research that reduced much of Jordan’s scarring. The hospital continues to support Jordan’s recovery, and will continue to do so until his 21st birthday.

Thanks to the resources and care of the CFCNCA-funded hospital, Jordan experienced a remarkable recovery and today is a freshman at Ohio State.

This year marks Lois’ third straight year as a Keyworker for the campaign. When speaking to her fellow Federal employees at campaign gatherings, Lois always advises people to look around them, because somewhere in the audience there is somebody whose life, or whose child’s life, their support may help to save.

A CFCNCA-supported charity enabled Lois to reside in the hospital with her son throughout his stay to better care for him and received trauma counseling through the

After many CFCNCA-supported medical procedures, Jordan’s face shows little scarring and he has made a complete recovery.

Voice of America (VOA) is renowned for their broadcasting, but additionally fulfills an outreach role – supporting charities worldwide through staff donations to the CFCNCA. This campaign raises money through bake sales, game shows, and this year, a unique and worldly fashion show.

lessons. Each model is given the opportunity to teach the audience how to say “Give” in his or her native language while introducing key elements of their culture. The energized and captive audience enjoyed the elaborate display of bright colors and introductions of new culture; smiles flooded the occupants of the spectators. Preceding this colorful display, representatives from two charities who benefit from CFCNCA donations, enlightened the audience on their important work and how funds are critical for CFCNCA-supported charities.

“For The Advancement of Science, Mathematics, and Technology Among Minority Youth”

Mission

It was through the parade of traditional clothing, quick wit, compassion and impressive dance moves the models were able to visually display how giving knows no boundaries and the universal verb “Give” can fulfill dreams and grant wishes.

Marc Poe, from Broadcast Technologies, stated, “Thank you for allowing me to represent all the ‘nerds’ in the engineering department. I believe it’s important to give through the CFCNCA to support others.”

TREE D.C. Help us plant 8,600 trees across the District in 2012.

The primary mission of The Ernest Everett Just Foundation, Inc. (EEJFI) is to foster academic excellence for students in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Improving written and verbal communication skills is also a major focus of the EEJFI. The foundation understands the urgency to motivate students to maximize their education. It was also created to enhance the name and legacy of Dr. Ernest Everett Just. However, our unwavering commitment is to monitor and cater to the needs of our minority, disadvantaged and disenfranchised middle and high school students.

As the World Turns Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner call off their engagement ))

about their pleasures. They see eating as a fundamental human activity. Americans tend to be very anxious — about getting the right table in a good restaurant or whether they’re eating the right way.

If[Wa[h E\ j^[ 8beki[

As the world becomes globalized, is French food at risk of getting lost or changed beyond recognition?

ISTOCKPHOTO

I think that’s always a possibility.

Did you know that UNESCO [in 2010] made French gastronomy a cultural treasure? I think that’s kind of funny, but it’s also appropriate.

Two hundred years ago, the hardest thing to find was protein. Now, the hardest thing for many of us to find is time. French cooking depends on having a great deal of time.

In “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” journalist-turned-novelist Tom Wolfe mocks feature writers, claiming that we’re all biding time before we try our pens at fiction. He’s right. Secretly, all style scribes long to be novelists, so we start at the bottom, at the lowliest of all menial tasks: party coverage.

The holidays are the prime season for what you might call gala and ball paparazzi. It’s fun for the guests, but young journalists like me 8o AWj^[h_d[ have the heinous task 8eob[ of asking attendees, “What are you wearing?” It is Dante’s tenth circle, equivalent to waitressing at a Michelin-starred restaurant where you’ll never taste the duck confit. I’m not there to eat canapes or show off my dress; I’m working.

So, if you’re a gala-goer, help a poor reporter. If we ask the spelling of your name, don’t be offended that we don’t who you are. If we ask your profession and you’re a billionaire philanthropist, don’t say “bartender” and laugh as though we get your joke.

We’ll take you at your word.

In short, please be kind to us minions working our way up to novelist this season. We carry notebooks filled with protagonists and villains. You decide the character you are.

Until very recently, people everywhere lived in fear of famine. In the same way you can’t appreciate winter until after you have central heating, you can only begin to obsess about food once you aren’t living in terror of famine. In that sense, it’s a new thing. But in America much more recently, I don’t think anyone could have ever predicted that you’d have food on television, being competitively cooked by chefs.

Gopnik’s Gobblers

What’s the appeal of TV chefs?

In “The Table Comes First,” Adam Gopnik serves up plenty of culinary history and his own reflections on dining trends.

<h[dY^ B[iiedi Adam Gopnik tucks into the Gallic roots of modern cooking and food-centric culture 8eeai The predecessor of the modern restaurant was … a “health food” in 18th-century France? Oui, oui.

Originally the name of a bouillion served at Paris’ public houses, “restaurant” soon became a descriptor for the places where it was served.

The rest, mes amis, is history.

That trivia is an amuse-bouche compared to the banquet of information about cooking history in Adam Gopnik’s “The Table Comes First” ($26, K nopf ).

Gopnik, a Francophile, shared more morsels — and musings — with Express.

How do American and French perspectives on food and dining differ?

The French are not puritanical

Why are our food choices so divisive lately, and is that new?

What’s Thanksgiving like at your house?

We love Thanksgiving. Love, love, love it. My wife’s one of those people who doesn’t just accept turkey but absolutely loves it. I get a nice heritage bird, I brine it, and then I usually make one gravy for adults with some Madeira in it and one gravy for the kids without.

It’s the same reason that people like to watch “Dancing With the Stars,” or I like to watch it, anyway.

We live in a society in which crafts are at a minimum. So when we see somebody who’s mastered the art of making, we’re very impressed, we’re very pleased. KATIE ABERBACH (EXPRESS) Politics and Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW; Fri., 7 p.m., free; 202-3641919, Politics-prose.com. (Van Ness)

7 É>WffoÊ Cec[dj Robin Williams slows down and appreciates his work and family F[hiedWb_j_[i Robin Williams wants everyone to know that he’s happy.

When fans stop the actor-comedian to snap a photo with him on their cell phones, Williams says he usually always obliges but often finds people complain that something seems wrong with him — even though he’s smiling.

“I think people always want zany, goofy [expletive] from me,” says Williams, who recently returned from a honeymoon to France with new wife, graphic designer Susan Schneider. “It takes a lot of energy to do that. If you do that all the time, you’ll burn out.”

Williams, who underwent surgery to replace an aortic valve in 2009, is far from retirement, but he acknowledges that he’s taking it easier even though he’s playing

Robin Williams says his 2009 heart surgery taught him to slow down and take life easier. “You just have to be a little more present,” he says. “Taking it down just a little bit and traveling at the speed of life is a much easier journey.”

two separate parts in “Happy Feet Two,” out Friday.

The funnyman reprises his roles as chivalrous Adelie penguin Ramon and bombastic rockhopper Lovelace in the follow-up to the 2006 Oscar-winning animated film about singing-and-dancing penguins. The 3-D sequel finds Ramon attempting to woo a sultry bird named Carmen (voiced by Sofia Vergara), while Lovelace is hyping a “flying penguin” named Sven (Hank Azaria).

What kind of pressure did you feel working on a “Happy Feet” sequel?

Well, you have to do it better than the first time to make it worthwhile.

There was one moment as Lovelace where I started speaking in tongues. I got so kind of crazy that I almost passed out. [Director] George [Miller] said, “That’s

Esquire’s Scott Raab rails against LeBron James in a new book Cleveland native and Esquire contributor Scott Raab doesn’t try to hide his bias in “The Whore of Akron: One Man’s Search for the Soul of LeBron James” ($25.99, HarperCollins), an often laughout-loud diatribe against basketball star LeBron James.

“LeBron James is a fraud. No guts, no heart, no soul,” writes

“The Whore of Akron” is about LeBron James’ leaving Cleveland for Miami.

As a big technology buff, what gadgets or games are you into at the moment?

I’m fascinated by the new iPhone. I bought it and kept trying to use it in France. “Siri, what is a good restaurant?” [In a robotic voice:] “I’m sorry, Robin. I can’t give locations in France.” “Why, Siri?” “I don’t know.” It’s like she was upset with the French or something. “They seem to have an attitude I can’t understand. Should I look for Germans, Robin?”

What’s life like for you now that all your children are adults?

It’s quiet. I just saw my daughter, Zelda, the other night. My oldest son is married, and my youngest son just went off to college.

It’s like they’ve left the Earth’s gravity, and I’m watching them. “There he gooooes!” I’m just so proud. I don’t have a college degree, and my father didn’t have a college degree, so when my son, Zachary, graduated from college, I said, “My boy’s got learnin’!”

great. Keep going!” I told him that if I kept going, I would fall down.

I just started doing this Baptist hymnal thing. “Hmmmmhmmmmhmmmm.” I think that’s actually what led to the gospel song that’s in the movie.

Raab after James plays poorly and seems not to care when the Cleveland Cavaliers lose in the 2009 NBA playoffs to Boston. Months later, Raab watches in disgust as James tells the world on ESPN that he’s teaming up with D way ne Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat.

Raab’s reaction cannot even be printed here.

At this point, the book easily could have spiraled into something unseemly — one fan’s bitter

invective against a man who plays a game for millions of dollars. But Raab manages to engage readers by weaving in his personal story as he travels to Miami to chronicle James’ first season with the Heat.

Raab has plenty of commonsense things to say about fandom, even as he admits that he — and other ardent fans who cheer for the Browns in football, the Indians in baseball and the Cavs in basketball — are more than just mad, they’re “bug-eyed ... lunatics, howling for a God who’s never going to come.”

It’s that passion that makes the book so readable. ROB MERRILL (AP)
