Colo. Families Say Last Goodbyes A day after suspect’s court appearance, many plan funerals

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$

Their first look at a dazed-looking James Holmes with wildly dyed red hair stunned and angered some of the people he is accused of shooting and the kin of those killed that night in a Colorado movie theater.

“A coward,” said Tom Teves, whose son, Alex, was one of 12 people Holmes is accused of killing.

Teves stared at Holmes throughout his first court appearance Monday.

In addition to those killed, 58 people were wounded when authorities say Holmes opened fire at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora. Seven remained in critical condition Tuesday.

Now the families of the dead are left to plan funerals.

A service for A.J. Boik, an 18-year-old high school graduate, was set for Friday in Aurora. The family has asked that news media stay away from the service.

David Sanchez said that would be appropriate if Holmes is convicted. His 21-year-old daughter, Katie Medley, escaped without injury and delivered a son Tuesday at the same hospital where her husband, Caleb, 23, was in critical condition with a head wound.

“When it’s your own daughter and she escaped death by mere seconds, I want to say it makes you angry,” Sanchez said.

Health Overhaul Reduces Deficit, Agency Reports MWi^_d]jed President Obama’s health-care overhaul will reduce rather than increase the nation’s huge federal deficits over the next decade, Congress’ nonpartisan budget scorekeepers said Tuesday, supporting Obama’s contention in a major election-year dispute with Republicans.

Republicans have insisted that “Obamacare” will actually raise deficits — by “trillions,” according to presumed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. But that’s not so, the Congressional Budget Office said. The CBO estimated that Republican legislation to repeal the overhaul would increase the deficit by $109 billion from 2013 to 2022. (AP)

Syrian Forces Pummel Rebels Fighting for Aleppo intensifies as regime recovers from losses 8[_hkj Fighter jets unleashed sonic booms and helicopter gunships strafed rebels as they pressed their fight Tuesday into new neighborhoods in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city. Farther south, ground troops combed Damascus after the nearly complete rout of the largest rebel assault yet on the capital.

After a series of setbacks, President Bashar Assad’s forces are solidifying their grip on Aleppo and Damascus, knowing that their fall would almost certainly spell the regime’s end.

The regime appears to be

Egypt’s Morsi Appoints PM

:[\[Yjeh If[Wai Ekj Brig. Gen. Manaf Tlass, a top Syrian military commander and close friend of President Bashar Assad, on Tuesday confirmed his defection from the regime.

Tlass, son of a former defense minister, said in a video broadcast on Al-Arabiya TV that Syrians must work together to build a new, democratic country. It was his first public appearance since he left Syria this month. His long silence raised questions about whether he had joined the uprising or merely fled the civil war. He is the highest-level defector from the Syrian regime in 16 months of bloodshed that activists say has killed more than 19,000 people. (AP)

regaining momentum. But while its forces easily outgun the rebels in direct confrontations, the rebellion has spread them thin — pointing to a drawn-out civil war.

Syria’s two biggest cities, home to more than one-third of the country’s 22 million people and centers of its political and economic life, have remained largely insulated from the unrest that has ravaged

much of the rest of the country during the 16-month conflict.

But this month, rebels from surrounding areas have pushed into both, bringing street battles to previously calm urban neighborhoods.

The fighting in each city has followed a similar script.

After building up their forces in the countryside and clashing with

government troops there, rebels pressed into Damascus early last week, sparking clashes around the city with government troops.

The opposition landed a harsh blow July 18, when a bomb tore through a high-level security meeting, killing four top Assad aides.

But the battle turned when the regime deployed the overwhelming force it has used to crush rebels elsewhere, shelling residential areas and targeting rebels with machine guns and attack helicopters.

On Tuesday, the government appeared to have largely retaken the capital. Activists reported shelling and sporadic clashes between troops and rebels in and around the city, but acknowledged that most fighters had withdrawn.

Britain’s phone hacking scandal entered a new and expanded criminal phase Tuesday, with charges brought against two former members of Prime Minister David Cameron’s inner circle over a campaign of illegal espionage that has rocked the country’s establishment.

The Crown Prosecution Service announced Tuesday that Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks — former editors of Rupert Murdoch’s now-shuttered News of the World tabloid — were among eight people charged with conspiring to intercept the communications of at least 600 people between 2000 and 2006, including a murdered teenager and Brad Pitt.

Coulson and Brooks, who had previously been charged in related cases, have both denied any wrongdoing.

Demonstrators gather for a march at an AIDS rally in downtown Washington on Tuesday, the third day of the International AIDS Conference.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Turning the Tideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on HIV Summit in D.C. grapples with the political and economic challenges of the epidemic MWi^_d]jed From dark days to a critical turning point in the AIDS epidemic: The landscape has changed dramatically in the two decades since the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest AIDS conference last met in the U.S. Back in 1990, the ďŹ rst good medicines were still a few years away. Before they arrived, caring for patients with HIV was like â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting Band-Aids on hemorrhages,â&#x20AC;? said leading U.S. AIDS researcher Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Fast-forward: Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-AIDS drugs work so well they not only give people with HIV a near-normal life expectancy, they offer a double whammy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making those patients less likely to infect other people.

The 19th International AIDS Conference, which opened Sunday in the

District, has set the goal of â&#x20AC;&#x153;turning the tideâ&#x20AC;? on HIV and stemming its spread through new powerful protection efforts.

But the challenge that more than 20,000 scientists, doctors, people living with HIV and policymakers are grappling with this week is how to get to what the Obama administration calls an AIDS-free generation. Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the money? What works best in different countries and cultures?

And with HIV increasingly an epidemic of the poor and the marginalized, will countries ďŹ nd the will to invest in the most vulnerable? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rich countries think, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who cares?

We have the treatment. I hear now that HIV is a chronic condition,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said French Nobel laureate Francoise BarreSinoussi, co-discoverer of HIV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I real-

ly think there is not the same political commitment as it was in the past.â&#x20AC;?

That political commitment must expand to ďŹ ght stigmas that are driving some of the populations most at risk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gay and bisexual men, sex workers and injecting drug users â&#x20AC;&#x201D; away from programs that could help protect them from getting or spreading HIV, said Michel Sidibe, director of UNAIDS, the United Nations AIDS program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outrageous that in 2012, when we have everything to beat this epidemic, that we still have to ďŹ ght prejudice, stigma, exclusion,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still no cure and no vaccine.

For every person who starts treatment, two more are becoming infected. But scientists increasingly say they have

=[e]hWf^o B[iiedi Where you live plays a role in your risk, too.

Twelve cities account for more than 40 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AIDS cases: New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia, Houston, San Francisco, Baltimore, Dallas and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Many cases are concentrated in specific parts of those cities. (AP)

Nearly half of high school students say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had sex, yet progress has stalled in getting them to use condoms to protect against the AIDS virus, government researchers said Tuesday. About 60 percent of sexually active high school students say they used condoms the last time they had sex, researchers said.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increase from the 46 percent who were using condoms in 1991. Today, 4 of every 10 new HIV infections occur in people younger than 30, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

(AP)

** African-Americans account for 44 percent of new HIV infections in the U.S., despite representing only about 14 percent of the population.

Government data also show most new U.S. infections are among gay and bisexual men, followed by heterosexual black women. (AP)

Scientists compare the hunt for an AIDS vaccine to the search for the Holy Grail. And for three decades, a vaccine has proved to be about as difficult to find. Only three vaccine trials have been completed since 1983, when Robert Gallo and Luc Montagnier identified HIV â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the virus that causes AIDS. Yet, leaders in AIDS vaccine research say they may finally be on the cusp of a period of major discovery leading to a vaccine. (T WP)

M^o j^[ >ef[5 The optimism stems from recent strides in understanding antibodies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first weapons the human immune system deploys to fight an infection.

>em :e[i >?L Meha5 When a person is exposed to the AIDS virus, the immune system churns out millions of antibodies to fight it. HIV shakes off the vast majority of them and infiltrates cells. The virus mutates easily, so people with AIDS have millions of different copies of HIV in their bloodstreams.

>em MekbZ W LWYY_d[ Meha5 Researchers are focused on the rare minority of antibodies that inhibit the virus.

In the past three years, scientists have worked out the structures of nearly two dozen such antibodies, and they have developed the technology to find more.

If they can trigger these antibodies in healthy people, researchers suspect, they can create an effective AIDS vaccine.

new tools to add to condoms.

Studies show that treating HIV right away rather than after someone is sick lowers patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chances of spreading the virus through sex by 96 percent.

Already, Fauci said, regions that are pushing to get more people tested and rushed into treatment are starting to see infections drop. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration just approved use of a daily AIDS medicine, Truvada, for use by healthy people hoping to lower the risk of infection by a sexual partner.

Since the ďŹ rst reports of AIDS surfaced 31 years ago, 30 million people have died from the virus and 34.2 million now are living with HIV around the world. L AUR AN NEERGA ARD (AP)

Thomas Graham, Pepco region president, said in a statement that the utility “will have to find cuts in other spending categories.” He added “this decision is counterproductive to our goals to improve our customer experience.”

Pepco did not say whether it intends to appeal the decision by the Maryland Public Service Commission to give Pepco $18.1 million of the $68 million increase it sought, a ruling that immediately raises average residential monthly bills by about $2, not $5.50.

U.S. star goalkeeper says she’s ready for the spotlight during the Olympics

BedZed(&'(

T W O D AY S U N T I L O P E N I N G C E R E M O N I E S

Wearing black Wellington boots and her usual confident smile, Hope Solo walked off the soggy pitch at historic Hampden Park on Monday and offered a preview of her second Olympics — and her first autobiography.

“People think I’m an open book,” Solo said. “People know nothing about me. They will know more about me on Aug. 14.”

The goalkeeper for the U.S. women’s soccer team has always been so engaging, so candid and so opinionated that one wonders what more she has to say in “A Memoir of Hope.” She also knows a good marketing opportunity when she sees one, so the book is scheduled for release two days after the end of the London Olympics, when sales should be especially robust

if she comes home with another gold medal.

She’s already become quite the Solo act during the buildup to the Americans’ first game Wednesday against France at Scotland’s national stadium. Two weeks ago, she received a warning from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after a urine test revealed the banned substance Canrenone. She called the episode an “honest mistake” and said it resulted from a premenstrual medication prescribed by her doctor, but, nevertheless, it’s believed to be the first positive drug test in

the history of the U.S. women’s soccer program.

Then she was one of several athletes quoted in an ESPN The Magazine story about commonplace sex in the Athletes Village during the Beijing Olympics, saying: “On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty.”

Of course, she also had that fourth-place finish last year on “Dancing With the Stars,” a grueling competition that set back her training for the Olympics. And no Solo story would be complete with-

Soccer is one of two sports that start before the Opening Ceremonies — archery is the other — because the extra days are needed to play a sufficient slate of games that doesn’t wear out the players. The Americans start group play against France at historic Hampden Park, the only Scottish venue for the Summer Games.

One can barely move around in London without noticing something that has to do with the Olympics, but the buzz in Glasgow just isn’t the same. About 37,000 fans are expected for the U.S.-France, Colombia-North Korea doubleheader in the 52,000-seat stadium, but organizers say about 80 percent of the tickets were freebies given to schools and local clubs because women’s soccer isn’t much of a draw in these parts. (AP)

out mentioning the time she essentially got kicked off the U.S. team at the 2007 World Cup in China for criticizing the coach.

Solo, who turns 31 next week, said she’s ready to set the record straight about details of her life and career that have been distorted. She has compelling stories to tell about her homeless father and alcoholic mother, and her teaser line for the book is not comfortable reading: “My family doesn’t do happy endings. We do sad endings or frustrating endings or no endings at all. We are hardwired to expect the next interruption or disappearance or broken promise.”

With all that baggage, a little extra media glare headed into the world’s best sporting competition isn’t going to bother her.

“All my life, since the time I was little, has been a long distraction,” Solo said. “At least that is the way some people want to perceive it.

But for me, it’s given me a lot of strength, it’s given me a lot of fortitude, a lot of challenges that have given me the opportunity to really cut out those outside distractions. … You fast forward to after the World Cup and we’re talking challenges like Hollywood and challenges like a dance show and all these can be perceived as distractions to certain athletes, but all my life I have been able to handle them and it only gives me that extra fight to keep pushing and prove everybody wrong so, trust me, I am OK with the challenge.”

CW`eh B[W]k[ IeYY[h Some may point to D.C. United and Major League Soccer All-Star coach Ben Olsen’s selection of Dwayne De Rosario as the All-Star team captain as a homer pick, but De Rosario is as appropriate of a choice for the honor as there is.

The D.C. United star and captain is the reigning league MVP, and De Rosario is also the last remaining link from the 2006 MLS All-Star team that triumphed over Chelsea — a game won 1-0 on a goal scored by De Rosario, the match MVP. “To be recognized as the captain is a huge honor,” De Rosario said Tuesday. “Hopefully I can go out there and represent everyone well.”

With the trade deadline one week away, the Nationals’ most urgent concern is improving their middle infield depth in the wake of shortstop Ian Desmond landing on the disabled list with a strained left oblique, according to a person with knowledge of the Nationals’ plans.

Desmond could be out a month or more with the injury, leaving Danny Espinosa as the Nationals’ lone viable option. In case Espinosa is injured or needs rest, the Nationals want a reliable backup who can fill in at shortstop.

The Nationals have discussed 15 to 20 names in the mold of Marco Scutaro, Nick Punto and Jamey Car-

Many in this vibrant college town known as “Happy Valley” worry that the temporary evisceration of Penn State’s football program might inflict similar damage on a community that, for years, thrived as fans flocked to home games and a farflung alumni base stayed connected by loyalty — and by checkbook.

After Monday’s announcement of NCAA sanctions, some business operators saw the same silver lining that many survivors do after a near-death accident: They had feared a complete shutdown of Penn State’s football program by the NCAA. Yet they also know Penn State, and the hotels, eateries and university-themed apparel shops that cluster around campus, face rough times ahead.

“Such hard hits really will hit the town economically, as well as a community,” said graduate student Will Ethier. “Penn State, Penn State football, State College, they’re all absolutely intertwined.

Last week, on the “WTF With Marc Maron” podcast, British comedian John Oliver mentioned his college writing partner, Richard Ayoade. Maron asked if he should know who that is.

“No, not necessarily,” Oliver said. It wasn’t a diss on his Cambridge classmate, just a fact: Not many Americans know who Ayoade is, let alone can pronounce his last name (eye-oh-wa-deh).

That’s about to change. Ayoade stars alongside Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill in “The Watch,” out Friday. To prepare you for his big 8o HkZ_ break, here’s a primer =h[[dX[h] on his best work: “The IT Crowd” The British sitcom about tech-support workers starred Ayoade as the super-smart but socially idiotic Maurice Moss. (Netflix) “Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace” This parody of hospital dramas, which he directed, co-wrote and co-starred in, delights in purposefully bad production values and stilted acting. (Some clips on YouTube and Adultswim.com.)

“Submarine” Ayoade’s directing debut, a coming-of-age story set in the ’80s, earned comparisons to Wes Anderson’s work. (Netflix) “Community” Ayoade directed the “My Dinner With Andre” parody episode, in which Jeff and Abed have an emotionally raw discussion about “Cougar Town.” (Hulu) For more of Rudi’s thoughts, follow him on Twitter: @rudigreenberg

Ruby (Zoe Kazan, left) comes to life from the mind of Calvin (Paul Dano, right) in “Ruby Sparks.”

J^[ =_hb e\ >_i ?cW]_dWj_ed In ‘Ruby Sparks,’ a writer dreams up his ideal girl — and she comes to life <_bc H[l_[m Men are Pygs.

That’s at least one potential takeaway from “Ruby Sparks,” an adroit, modestly inventive take on the Pygmalion myth from the actress Zoe Kazan. Kazan wrote the screenplay for this alternately fizzy and cerebral romantic comedy, in which she also stars. That “Ruby Sparks” just

happens to offer a showcase for some bravura acting on her part — particularly in one show-stopping sequence late in the proceedings — only proves that Kazan is as cognizant of the limited roles for women in Hollywood as she is willing to take matters into her own, considerably watchable hands.

If “Ruby Sparks” ultimately loses its nerve, perhaps that’s Kazan’s sop to audiences she thinks won’t be interested in dealing with the tougher implications of what they’ve just seen. Because for a while there, “Ruby Sparks” is a tough little movie.

In “Ruby Sparks,” Paul Dano’s character Calvin uses a typewriter—which at first seems like a hipster affectation, but was actually chosen by screenwriter Zoe Kazan for specific reasons that resonated with Dano. “The typewriter feels slightly romantic for me, compared to a computer, and it does some nice things for the film,” Dano says. “For me, just the sound of that typewriter in that big house exacerbates the loneliness and emptiness” that surrounds Calvin before Ruby’s arrival. “I like the idea of a typewriter as a writer because you have to be more purposeful with your words. Once you lay it down there, it’s there. On the computer I can be so willy-nilly.”

KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Paul Dano plays Calvin Weir-Fields, a novelist who had a hit book when he was 19 and now toils alone in a posh home office, suffering a massive case of writer’s block as he tries to match his own early promise. Inspired by a dream, he begins noodling with a character who, as he pecks away at his vintage typewriter, swiftly becomes a fictional romantic ideal: Ruby Sparks, a wide-eyed, hip, uncomplicated artist who, like all awesome girlfriends, reflects Calvin at twice his size, charm and intelligence.

HkXo IfWhai H Directors: Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris Stars: Paul Dano, Zoe Kazan, Annette Bening In a Nutshell: A novelist struggling with writer’s block finds romance in a most unusual way: by creating a female character he thinks will love him, then willing her into existence.

For Fans of: “Little Miss Sunshine”

When Ruby unexpectedly comes to life — in the red-headed, azure-eyed form of Kazan — Calvin initially thinks she’s a figment of his own needy imagination. But when it turns out other people can see her, too, he’s forced into an increasingly provocative series of challenges having to do with projection, control and unconditional love.

“Ruby Sparks” is at its best when it puts viewers in the highly charged emotional petri dish of the relationship between Calvin and Ruby, who begins to chafe at the author’s attempts to write her into his own, self-valorizing script.

Perhaps it’s because “Ruby Sparks” fizzes along with such promise that its finale lands with such a quizzical thud. For a movie so bent on skewering illusions, “Ruby Sparks” ultimately can’t entirely let go of its own.

ÇJ_f De$ '$ JWa[ KX[h$ J_f De$ ($ H[f[Wj J_f De$ '$È — Commenter “Pope Lando” at DCIST.COM advises tourists to use the private car service following news that D.C. was named the third-best place to take a vacation in the United States, after New York City and Yellowstone National Park.

—@FRANKCONNIFF considers the reality of the late astronaut’s decades-long relationship with Tam O’Shaughnessy. In a statement to BuzzFeed, Ride’s sister, Bear, said, “We consider Tam a member of the family.”

— HYPERVOCAL.COM thinks an Aug. 15 Obama Victory Fund event at Martha’s Vineyard with the cast of “The Wire” isn’t more of a stretch than any other of the celebrity events during the president’s re-election effort.

“A basic Google search of ‘Aurora shooting conspiracy’ pulls up several pages of results.

Perhaps it’s not satisfying to accept James Holmes as a man who lost touch with reality and committed a horrifying act of violence. Why fear a random gunman when you can fear the government as a whole?”

— GAWKER.COM responds to the rampant, “insane” speculation that the Colorado movie theater shooting was more than a random act of violence.

Kanye’s Late Mom Wishes She Could Revise Her Will

“LOOK AT MY EMPTY FINGER, KANYE.” “That’s not your ring finger, dimwit.”

Kanye West is planning to propose to Kim Kardashian as soon as her divorce is finalized, Radaronline.com reported. He is working with a private jeweler to create an engagement ring using gems from his late mother’s jewelry, Radar wrote.

“Kanye picked out some of Donda’s most expensive pieces, including some diamond earrings and a ruby ring,” a source said. (EXPRESS)

McKinnon noted that Holmes never mentioned Tom Cruise. (EXPRESS)

Bristol Palin says her son, Tripp, was not bleeped on her reality show for using a homophobic slur, but for “a different f-word.”

“I’m not proud of what he did say,” she wrote on her blog after the Huffington Post implied Tripp used the slur. She added: “The temptation to label my 3-yearold son is just too great for the lefty papers to resist.” (E XPRESS)
