U.S. Increasingly Divided by Class MWi^_d]jed Rising income inequality has led to an increasing number of Americans clustering in neighborhoods in which most residents are like them, either similarly affluent or similarly low-income, according to a new study detailing the rising isolation of the richest and the poorest.

A report released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center said the percentage of upper-income households situated in aff luent neighborhoods doubled between 1980 and 2010, rising to 18 percent. At the same time, the share of lower-income households located in mostly poorer neighborhoods rose from 18 percent to 23 percent. The number of neighborhoods that are predominantly

middle-class or home to a wider mix of income levels shrank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The country has increasingly sorted itself into areas where people are surrounded by more of their own kind, if you will,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Taylor, the Pew Center director and co-author of the report, adding that the majority of neighbor-

hoods in the country are still mostly middle-class or mixed.

What sociologists call segregation by income at the neighborhood level has been underway for decades, but the most recent census data suggest the pace picked up between 2000 and 2010.

Many other factors are at play.

William F. Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution, sees a generational divide at work, particularly in big cities. The baby boom generation bought houses in neighborhoods where their children are now priced out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Younger people are still struggling to just buy a home, and the kind of neighborhoods where they end up are not nearly as nice,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Age isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a part of this study, but it underlies it.â&#x20AC;?

Sean Reardon, a Stanford University sociologist, said a neighborhood that lacks socioeconomic diversity could lessen support for taxes to fund schools, parks and social services in other neighborhoods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people with most of the money and wealth live separately from everyone else, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be less investment in the neighborhoods where the middle class and the poor live,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Cruz Win Boosts Tea Party Ranks New Senate nominee basks in victory over Dewhurst in Texas

I[_p_d] Cec[djkc Ted Cruz beat Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst by 13 percentage points during the runoff, a resounding victory made all the more remarkable considering Cruz lost the May 31 primary to Dewhurst by 10 percentage points. He only survived to a second round of balloting because no candidate won a majority among nine original hopefuls. But simply making it that far helped Cruz seize the summer momentum. (AP)

>ekijed Newly minted U.S. Senate nominee Ted Cruz said Wednesday that he hopes the tea party and the Texas Republicans are now synonymous, asserting that the grass-roots movement is bringing the “party back to the policies we should have been defending in the first place.”

The former state solicitor general was still basking in the glow of his monster upset of establishment GOP favorite Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in Tuesday’s runoff for the nomination to replace retiring Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. “I think the tea party is one of the most incredible movements in politics in modern history,” he said.

Addressing reporters in his

hometown of Houston, Cruz was asked whether the movement and the mainstream party were now one and the same. He didn’t mince word: “I hope so.”

But others pointed to a growing rift within the party since so many Texas Republicans lined up behind Dewhurst, who seemed until the past few weeks like a slam-dunk in the race.

The anti-tax, Washington-based Club for Growth spent millions on ads attacking Dewhurst, and Cruz picked up endorsements from such

tea party superstars as U.S. Sens.

Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky, as well as talk show personalities Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin even stumped in suburban Houston for Cruz.

Cruz meets former state Rep. Paul Sadler in November’s general election, but in deeply red-state Texas, he’s the overwhelming favorite. His all-but-sure win in November will increase the number of tea party-aligned senators to six.

More than half of U.S. counties now are classified by the federal government as natural disaster areas mostly because of the drought.

The U.S. Agriculture Department on Wednesday added 218 counties in a dozen states, including Arkansas, Georgia and Iowa, as disaster areas. That brings this year’s total to 1,584 in 32 states, more than 90 percent of them because of the drought.

Defiant letter adds to mystery of Syrian leader’s whereabouts

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ President Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar Assad and his government, Reuters reported late Wednesday.

The order would allow the CIA and other U.S. agencies to give support to Assad’s armed opponents. No White House comment was available at press time. (E XPRESS)

8[_hkj Syrian President Bashar Assad urged his military Wednesday to boost its fight against rebels, but his written call to arms only deepened a mystery over his whereabouts two weeks after a bomb penetrated his inner circle.

Assad has not spoken publicly since the July 18 bombing killed four of his top security officials — including his brother-in-law — during a rebel assault on the capital, Damascus. The president’s low

profile has raised questions about whether he fears for his personal safety as the civil war escalates dramatically.

The United States called the Syrian president a coward for marshaling his forces from the pages of the army’s official magazine. “We think

it’s cowardly, quite frankly, to have a man hiding out of sight, exhorting his armed forces to continue to slaughter the civilians of his own country,” said U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell.

Power was restored across India on Wednesday after the worst blackout in global history, but responsibility for the crisis remained elusive. As the lights came back on, one thing was as clear as day — the government was not prepared to take the blame.

India’s politicians lined up to shift the blame, and the man in overall charge, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, stayed out of the spotlight, failing to issue a single word of reassurance to his nation.

Instead, he took the remarkable step of promoting power minister Sushilkumar Shinde, announcing in the midst of the blackout that the 71-year-old would take on the coveted and challenging job of home minister. The government conceded it was “clueless” as to the exact causes of Tuesday’s blackout, which affected more than 600 million people. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Thanks to Olympics, a Tale of 2 Cities Outside the Games’ center, businesses are hurting for customers

CWoeh ed W M_h[

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. The Olympics have turned London into a tale of two cities, with shops, hotels, theaters and restaurants in the center suffering a tourist drought while crowds throng to the Games a few miles to the east.

The huge Westfield shopping center, smack beside Olympic Park, is bustling with people visiting the Games or simply catching some of the Olympic buzz while they shop.

Cheerful London volunteers in pink and purple have been using megaphones to help marshal the crowds at Europe’s largest mall.

But across town at the West End — London’s main shopping and entertainment district — it’s eeri-

“It’s a fiasco,” said Peter Forrest, a street performer in Covent Garden, an area of shops, pubs and restaurants that’s normally teeming with tourists. Forrest, painting whiskers

to his face for his role as Doggie Man, said it’s been “the worst two weeks ever for business.”

Report: Militants Use Mafia-Like Finance System ?ibWcWXWZ One of the deadliest militant groups in Afghanistan, the Haqqani network, has developed a sophisticated, “mafia”-style financing operation that relies on extortion, kidnapping, smuggling and ties to legitimate businesses, according to a new report by a U.S.-based think tank.

The report by the Combating Terrorism Center in West Point, N.Y., suggests the system has become so lucrative that maintaining it could be as much of a goal for the group as driving foreign forces out of Afghanistan. That could complicate U.S. efforts to negotiate an end to the war since much of the network’s cash flow is dependent on instability and lawlessness bred by the conflict. (AP)

Road construction should be finished by the end of 2014 MWi^_d]jed Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell announced Tuesday that the state has made a formal agreement with private partners to build 29 miles of high-occupancy toll lanes along Interstate 95. Construction is scheduled to begin very soon and should be done by the end of 2014.

The agreement is similar to the one already in place to build the HOT lanes on the Capital Beltway between Springfield and the Dull-

es Toll Road. Those four new lanes are scheduled to open by the end of this year and will eventually link up with the HOT lanes on I-95.

The projects will offer a significant change in commuting styles to many thousands of travelers in one of the nation’s most congested regions. But many of those commuters have yet to embrace the change.

Proponents, including both Republican and Democratic gubernatorial administrations over the past decade, say the HOT lanes will offer reliable trips at decent speeds for those willing to pay a toll while providing a free trip for those willing to carpool.

The new agreement will build 29 miles of high-occupancy toll lanes along I-95.

Skeptics, who include many of those potential drivers and carpoolers, deride the HOT lanes as

“Lexus Lanes,” a privileged commute afforded to those wealthy enough to afford a variable toll that has no cap.

According to the governor’s announcement, the agreement with 95 Express Lanes LLC, a joint venture between Transurban DRIVe and Fluor Enterprises Inc., covers construction and operation of 29 miles of express lanes on I-95 from Garrisonville Road in Stafford County to Edsall Road in Fairfax County.

“This is a historical day for transportation and the economy in Virginia,” McDonnell said in a statement. R O B E R T T H O M S O N (THE WASHINGTON POST )

DCPS Terminates 98 Teachers Officials: Educators received low ratings on evaluations MWi^_d]jed D.C. school officials said Wednesday that 98 teachers were fired this week for poor performance, a largescale dismissal that has become almost routine in the city.

Those who were fired — about half the number let go last year — account for less than 3 percent of the school system’s teachers.

They received low scores on the rigorous evaluation instrument known as IMPACT, which has drawn national attention as one of the first to link teacher pay and job security with classroom performance and student achievement.

That concept has gained trac-

tion among policymakers around the country, said Sandi Jacobs of the National Council on Teacher Quality, a Washington-based advocacy group.

But the D.C. Public Schools system, which has let nearly 400 teachers go since 2009 because of poor performance, is still one of the few school systems in which an unsatisfactory rating can lead to an immediate exit.

Of the teachers dismissed this week, 39 were rated ineffective on IMPACT, and 59 were rated minimally effective for the second year in a row.

In addition, 53 school system employees who aren’t part of the Washington Teachers’ Union bargaining unit, such as custodians and clerical staff, were also fired for poor performance.

20-Week Abortion Ban Bill Falls Short in House A bill that would ban abortions in the District of Columbia after 20 weeks of pregnancy failed to pass the House on Tuesday, but anti-abortion activists hailed the vote as a sign that their efforts ultimately would succeed. The bill was based on the disputed claim that fetuses can feel pain at a gestational age of 20 weeks or older. The National Right to Life Committee, an anti-abortion group, made the legislation its top priority on Capitol Hill this year. (AP)

Stumbling Into Trouble Walking while reading or texting?

For your safety, you’d better look up.

;Wi_bo :_ijhWYj[Z Even without better data, the Internet yields a wealth of anecdotal evidence of the power of electronics to distract pedestrians. The cases include: A woman texting while she walked through a suburban Philadelphia shopping mall last year tumbled into a large fountain directly in front of her.

Security camera video of the incident went viral, generating millions of hits.

MWi^_d]jed A man talking on a cellphone meanders along the edge of a lonely train platform at night. Suddenly he stumbles, loses his balance and pitches over the side, landing headfirst on the tracks.

rooms have more than quadrupled in the past seven years and are almost certainly underreported. There has been a spike in the number of pedestrians killed and injured in traffic accidents, but there is no reliable data on how many were distracted by electronics.

“We are where we were w it h cellphone use in cars 10 years or so ago,” said Jonathan Akins, deputy executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association. “We knew it was a problem, but we didn’t have the data.”

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski reported at a town hall event in D.C. on April 10 that the number of robberies involving cellphones has risen 54 percent in Washington since 2007.

far government should go in trying to protect people from themselves.

In Delaware, highway safety officials opted for a public education campaign, placing decals on crosswalks and sidewalks at busy intersections urging pedestrians to “Look up. Drivers aren't always looking out for you.”

Philadelphia officials are drafting a campaign that will be aimed in part at pedestrians who are looking at their devices instead of where they’re going.

“One of the messages will certainly be ‘pick your head up’ — I want to say ‘nitwit,’ but I probably shouldn’t call them names,” said Rina Cutler, deputy mayor for transportation and public utilities.

“The sad part is we had people who, once they realized we were going to take the e-lane away, got mad because they thought it was really helpful to not have people get in their way while they were walking and texting,” Cutler said.

The Utah legislature refused to enact a law that would allow the state’s transit authority to issue $50 fines for distracted walking. And distracted walking bills in the Arkansas, Illinois and New York legislatures went nowhere.

“It sounds very ridiculous,” said Tia Little, a pedestrian in downtown D.C. “I mean, it’s our phone. We should be able to use it and walk and talk if we choose to, walk and text or whatever.”

government officials and safety experts say is a growing problem: distracted walking.

On city streets, in suburban parking lots and in shopping centers, it’s a common sight: someone strolling while talking on a phone, texting with his head down, listening to music or playing a video game. The problem isn’t as widely discussed as distracted driving, but the danger is real.

Bad Sports Badminton teams are bounced for trying to lose on purpose 8WZc_djed Four badminton teams were kicked out of the women’s doubles at the London Games on Wednesday for trying to lose on purpose, conduct that a top IOC executive said strikes at the heart of Olympic competition.

The eight doubles players from China, South Korea and Indonesia were cited by the Badminton World Federation for “conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport.”

“We have to be clear, there has been a problem here and we have to take that problem very seriously,” BWF secretary general Thomas Lund said.

South Korea and Indonesia appealed the disqualification, but the BWF rejected the South Kore-

an appeal and the Indonesia challenge was withdrawn. China had accepted the federation’s earlier decision.

The competition continued later Wednesday with four previously eliminated teams in the quarterfinals. Russian pair Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova, and Canadian team Alex Bruce and Michele Li now advance from Group A. Australian pair Leanne Choo and Renuga Veeran and South African duo Michelle Edwards and Annari Viljoen go through from Group C. “We applaud the federation for having taken swift and decisive action,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams told the Associated Press.

“Such behavior is incompatible with the Olympic values.”

B e f or e t he d e c i s ion w a s announced, Indonesia Olympic team leader Erick Thohir accused Chinese players of losing on purpose in the past.

sanctioned by the BWF,” Thohir said. “On the first game yesterday when China did it, the BWF didn’t do anything. If the BWF do something on the first game and they say you are disqualified, it is a warning for everyone.”

IOC vice president Craig Reedie, the former head of the international badminton federation, welcomed the decision to kick the four teams out. “Sport is competitive,” Reedie told the AP. “If you lose the competitive element, then the whole thing becomes a nonsense.

“You cannot allow a player to abuse the tournament like that, and not take firm action. So good on them.”

One of the world’s top male players, 2004 Olympic singles champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia, called the situation a “circus match.”

China’s Lin Dan, the Olympic men’s champion in singles, said the sport is going to be damaged.

“Especially for the audience,” he said through an interpreter. “This is definitely not within the Olympic spirit. But like I said before, it’s not one-sided. Whoever sets the rule should make it knockout so whoever doesn’t try will just leave the Olympics.” (AP)

Dukehart says the draw of Run for Cover is playing with oddball musical combinations and fusing them into funny (yet listenable) acts. “It’s something unexpected,” she says. “There are a lot of cover bands out there, so you really want to go the extra mile.”

T hen t here’s t he element of competition.

David Durst has been in all but two iterations of Run for Cover, which he calls “hilariously addictive,” in bands that riffed on Duran Duran, Elvis Costello and Queen. Durst handles vocals and keyboards for local band Poor But Sexy and also plays with a punk chamber-music band in New York.

Each year, D.C. musicians ham it up — Tron Petty!

Faux Doubt! — at this cover-band extravaganza Cki_Y Rebecca Armendariz has been in a lot of bands in this town, but none that lasted very long.

Maybe you’ve heard of Geezer? No, not Weezer — though they did play Weezer covers, dressed in old-lady wigs and “Golden Girls”-style tracksuits. And there was Tron Petty, with Tom Petty covers delivered in glow-in-the-dark “Tron”-themed getups. And the truly inspired Gaga Gaga Hey — Lady Gaga meets the Ramones.

Rock ’n’ roll fame is fleeting, even more so for the stars of Run for Cover, D.C.’s annual cover-band extravaganza: Each group gets just one night of glory.

The event, now in its 10th year, brings together amateur rockers, scene veterans, librarians and local media wonks for an evening of cover tunes, over-the-top costumes and puns aplenty.

Preparation involves forming bands and learning some songs, of course, not

to mention building elaborate stage props. (Someone once built a working cannon for Maximum Overdrive, an AC/DC cover band.)

But first, the bands must pick their tribute themes — the stranger the mashup, the better. “It’s something we talk about all year,” says Armendariz, a web communications guru at a D.C. health-care-consulting nonprofit. “It’s all about the creativity.”

Besides Gaga Gaga Hey, last year’s acts included Su Su Suicide (a combo that melded Phil Collins and protopunk band Suicide), the Roasters (a nod to Kenny Rogers), Faux Doubt (shades of No Doubt) and People of the Sun (a

tribute to Rage Against the Machine, with band members in beach gear and a police beatdown closing out the set).

Back in 2001, local musician Joe Halladay of local band Citygoats (who’s since decamped to Brooklyn) was looking for a good excuse to play his favorite covers. So, he put together a small basement show. The next year (for the first “official” Run for Cover), he rented out a warehouse. Every show since (there wasn’t one in 2008) has been held at Black Cat, where they have sold out every time.

Librarian Tina Plottel (who also plays bass in local band Torches) has taken part in all but three Run for Covers, sometimes spending months refining her act. Last year, she played bass with Tron Petty and was the band’s ad hoc stylist, painting bike helmets with glow paint and rigging up a rave’s worth of black lights for the performance.

“It’s just so much fun,” she says. “You want the audience to be amazed.”

Run for Cover participants tend to get hooked on the experience, and many make repeat appearances. Coburn Dukehart, a multimedia and photo editor at NPR, caught the bug in 2005. In 2007, she sang with ABBAtite For Destruction,

or both,” he says. “It’s this thing where we’re all trying to one-up each other. But there’s also a real sense of community.”

Maegan Wood, publicit y and promotions manager at Black Cat, says people come to see their peers look ridiculous, to be seen and to support the scene itself. “Run For Cover is fun because it’s a community event, that’s the appeal,” she says.

For years, all proceeds were donated to the annual Fort Reno concert series.

This year, funds will benefit Girls Rock!

:WdY_d] Gk[[d ’90s house-music diva Ultra Naté returns to the club scene — this time, behind the decks Cki_Y If you spent time in dance clubs in the ’90s, you know the name Ultra Naté. The singer’s big-voiced housemusic anthems — including such classics as 1994’s “Show Me” and 1997’s “Free” — fueled many an allnight party and inspired dozens of worshipful DJ remixes.

Ultra Naté (born Ultra Naté Wyche) didn’t set out to be a dancemusic icon. The Baltimore-area native was on her way to becoming a pre-med student when a friend brought her by Odell’s nightclub in Baltimore in the mid ’80s. The club, which closed in 1987, was the place to be to hear DJs spin the latest house, R&B and new wave records.

“That first time I walked in Odell’s, it was a wrap,” she says.

“It was like I found myself in that space, on that dance floor.”

Things happened fast after that.

She met legendary Baltimore producers the Basement Boys — who would go on to work with and remix Paula Abdul, Erykah Badu and Crystal Waters — and they encouraged her to make a demo.

They recorded Ultra Naté’s first single, the soulful 1989 anthem “It’s Over Now.” The track worked its way into heavy club rotation and ended up in the hands of a Warner Bros. A&R executive who snapped up the budding vocalist for a record deal.

“I ended up on a major label fresh out of high school, never having written a song before that moment,” she says. “I had no official education or training in songwriting or singing.

I was just following the path that was in front of me.”

That path would take Ultra Naté across the globe. She racked up a string of dance-chart hits in Europe and the U.S. in the ’90s,

including “Turn Me Loose” (featured in the 1995 Parker Posey film “Party Girl”) and “Automatic,” which hit No. 1 on the U.S. dance charts.

Ultra Naté is still recording: Her long-awaited next full-length, “Hero Worship,” will feature the already-released high-energy single “Waiting On You,” with guest vocals by former Destiny’s Child Michelle Williams.

These days, she can also be found inside the DJ booth, holding down the floor at her monthly Deep Sugar party at Baltimore’s Paradox club, where she spins house, techno and disco.

“I started DJing out of the necessity,” she says, “to keep the music and that underground scene alive.”

rarely shown together — even at the Freer and Sackler galleries, which together hold one of the world’s largest collections of the lavish artwork.

“Worlds Within Worlds,” which runs until Sept. 16 at the Sackler, reveals the continuity among books handmade for the rulers of both countries.

T he show ’s earliest items originated mostly in the city of Herat, which is now in Afghanistan. That region hasn’t received much good press over the past few centuries.

But at the time these manuscripts were made, “Herat was the Paris

of the East,” Farhad says.

The Persian style “showed an idealized world that was almost a fantasy land,” she says. Its images were flat and its faces flawless, rendered with gem-based opaque watercolors and plenty of gold leaf to create art that was literally opulent.

Working in Delhi, Mughal artists used the same essential techniques. But they incorporated bolder colors, realistic portraits and European-style perspectives.

According to Diamond, who is also the museums’ associate curator of South and Southeast Asian art, the earliest Mughal paintings show “the beginning of the creation of a composite culture.” MARK JENKINS (FOR E XPRESS)

Muffin Tops In “The Muffin Tops,” Elaine comes up with a business idea: sell only the tops of muffins, since the stumps suck. The idea takes off, but the store has to deal with topless remainders. This problem is made irrelevant by the muffin-top pan, available at stores near you ($16, Macy’s).

ing service. Then, he regretted it.

The test was “kind of a lark for me; I didn’t take it all that seriously,” Kean says. “But then, of course, when I got the results back and they said, ‘You are susceptible to these diseases,’ I thought, ‘Oh, my God, what have I done?’ ” Ultimately, further research helped him regain perspective.

“The more I looked into it, the more I realized that genes deal with probabilities and not certainties,” he says.

“The environment also plays a role” in determining how individuals’ lives play out. It’s a little like the natureversus-nurture debate — except Kean believes that your genes and your environment work together (rather than against each other) to influence your behavior, personality and more. So, we gathered some personality quirks and asked Kean which factor, exactly, is to blame. K ATIE ABERBACH (E XPRESS)

“I have never seen any study that said that hypochondria was genetic,” Kean says. “And, of course, because there are different diseases in different parts of the world, that’s going to depend a little bit on culture, too. People in certain areas just aren’t going to get certain diseases because it’s just not in the environment. So, they probably wouldn’t be worried about those diseases.”

That said, both Rachmaninoff and Paganini worked incredibly hard and they both had a passion for music, too. You need genes to give you the right physical traits to do those kind of things, but you also need a sort of mental aptitude as well.”

BILL WASIK AND MONICA MURPHY

Old Crow Medicine Show is based in Nashville, Tenn. But its members, including fiddle player Ketch Secor, third from right, met while busking from upstate New York to North Carolina.

8_bb MWi_a WdZ Ced_YW Ckhf^o

JhWZ_j_edi JmWd] Old Crow Medicine Show did serious field research for its latest record, fusing history with heart Cki_Y In 1999, fiddle player Ketch Secor and a few other members of string band Old Crow Medicine Show put live shows on hold and spent a summer harvesting tobacco in the Appalachian foothills.

“We cut it and braided it and suckered it and all the things you do,” Secor says, referring to a method of pinching sprouts on maturing tobacco to strengthen the plants. “Five bucks an hour on the back side of Beech Mountain, on a crew that was one of the last mountain crews.”

A little more than a decade later, that crew has been phased out. “They grow it all in Piedmont now,” he says, referring to the plateau region that runs through Virginia and the Carolinas. “They grow it on 600 acres, not six. Those were old family plots we worked on. People don’t

do that anymore.”

That memorable summer inspired the song “We Don’t Grow Tobacco,” a fiddle-fueled stomp on Old Crow’s latest studio album, “Carry Me Back,” which was released last month. Secor says the band couldn’t have written or performed the song without experiencing the tobacco life firsthand.

“We’ve found that you can’t really tell a story unless you’ve seen it with your own eyes,” he says. “Otherwise it’s just an approximation.”

That’s been the Old Crow philosophy since the band formed in the late 1990s.

The members grew up on punk rock in

?di_Z[ JhWYa Lead song “Carry Me Back” tells of a Civil War soldier longing for his home in the Shenandoah. “I grew up where the war was still real and present,” says Secor, who hails from the Shenandoah Valley.

“So, that song doesn’t feel like a historical rendering.”

the Shenandoah Valley but turned to bluegrass and folk in their later teens.

“We read [Woody Guthrie’s autobiography] ‘Bound for Glory’ and we tried to make music that would open doors in the same spirited way,” Secor says.

“We were doing it 80 years later, but we found that it still worked.”

After a few years tinkering with their string-band sound, Old Crow returned to a more traditional and acoustic sound for “Carry Me Back,” as though the songs themselves — about Civil War soldiers, country gals and small towns drowned by hydroelectric dams — demanded an older, earthier style of playing.

But Secor insists the band isn’t mired in history. “Carry Me Back” “is not a relic and it’s not a timepiece,” Secor says. “It’s meant to be shouted to and jumped up and down to and played around campfires and on your iPod while you’re waiting for your mom to pick you up at the mall. That’s what this music is for — it’s for y’all.”

CO-AUTHORS, “RABID” Nothing brings two people together quite like rabies. Bill Wasik and Monica Murphy — he’s a journalist, she’s a vet — teamed up to write “Rabid: A Cultural History of the World’s Most Diabolical Virus.”

They’ll be at Politics and Prose on Thursday to discuss the disease’s origin, treatment and how we can avenge the death of Old Yeller.

What drew you to rabies as a subject?

Murphy: It’s made really clear to us in veterinary school that one of our most solemn duties is to protect animals from rabies.

Why do we worry about rabies more than other, more common illnesses?

Wasik: We’ve had rabies around us, mostly in the form of dogs, for all of human history.

The dog is this friendly, loyal creature, [but it has] this dark side. The ultimate evil lurking among man’s best friend is rabies.

Even with the human vaccine, it resonates as a threat.

Wasik: Ever since the vaccine was developed [in 1885] and people in the developed world stopped dying of rabies, rabies became a symbol of violent nature in a civilized world. That’s how it’s used in “Old Yeller.”

Did you reread “Old Yeller” as research?

Wasik: I did.

' This Film Is Not Yet Rated This great 2006 doc examines the absolute stupidity of our movie ratings system. Hilariously, it got an NC-17 rating because it shows footage from films that were given the NC-17 rating (or its predecessor, the dreaded X).

( Shame For admitting that men have penises (and that some men like to use them), this 2011 film got slapped with the NC-17. That shouldn’t stop you from seeing it, if only for Michael Fassbender’s penis, er, performance.

) Bad Lieutenant Playing a cop investigating the rape of a nun, Harvey Keitel is absolutely nuts in this 1992 film. He seems to think doing a lot of drugs will help him find the rapist, which is not the best idea.

7 IjWh 7\Wh In a new documentary, myth transforms a failed singer into a rock god overseas IYh[[d Plenty of rock stars have had their stories put on film — either in documentaries or as thinly veiled fiction — but Sixto Rodriguez had to die and come back to life to get his story told.

Rodriguez’s utterly bizarre story, as told in the new documentary “Searching for Sugar Man,” begins in the 1970s, when the Detroit musician’s two albums f lopped — at least, in the U.S. Through a set of unbelievable circumstanc-

es, the singer — who goes by the stage name Rodriguez — became a rock god in South Africa, unbeknownst to everyone in America — including Rodriguez.

For the film, which opens Frid a y, S w e d i s h director Ma lik Bendjelloul interv iewed many South Africans Bendjelloul who were unaware that Rodriguez wasn’t a superstar back home.

“There was a [South African] guy who told me he had a conversation with an American, and [the South African] said, ‘That would be like imagining the ’70s without the Rolling Stones, the Beatles

and Rodriguez!’ And the American said, ‘What are you talking about?’ ” Any god needs a good myth, and Rodriguez’s was that he was dead. (Rumor had it he either shot himself or set himself on fire on stage.) “[South Africans] had a guy who was as famous and as dead

The first film to get the NC-17, in 1990, it’s about Anaïs Nin’s relationship with Henry Miller and his wife, June (a young Uma Thurman). It received the rating because it had a lot of sex but was too artsy to be considered porn.

WRITTEN BY EXPRESS’ LORI MCCUE

Love, ‘American President’ Style The last time we had a (legitimate) romance blossoming in the White House, good old Grover Cleveland was marrying Frances Folsom during his second year in office. If that political love story doesn’t warm your heart, then perhaps taking in “The American President” under the stars Friday night at National Harbor will do the trick. Michael Douglas, playing a popular Democratic president, woos Annette Bening’s environmental lobbyist character in the midst of his re-election campaign. (How timely!) The 1995 hit was screenwriter Aaron Sorkin’s first White House-themed project: It’s all the speechifying of “The West Wing” crammed into a convenient two-hour block. National Harbor,

+ Crash If you want to see the 2006 Best Picture winner by the same name, make sure you don’t get this 1996 David Cronenberg film by accident. One is an excruciating, nearly unwatchable series of random collisions, and the other is a David Cronenberg film.

as Jimi Hendrix,” Bendjelloul says.

“Jim Morrison — we know he died in a bathtub in Paris. [Rodriguez], we know he’s dead, but how did he die? There are different stories. So, that’s how it all started — these completely obsessed fans of Rodriguez who wanted to know how he died.”

The funny thing is, Rodriguez wasn’t dead. While all this mythologizing was taking place, he was back in Detroit, working in construction and trying unsuccessfully to get involved in local politics.

In the ’90s, word reached South Africa that this legend was actually a living legend.

“It was literally like knowing Elvis Presley was alive,” Bendjelloul says. “He’s that famous [there].”

The film shows Rodriguez on tour in South Africa in 1998, playing to thousands of devoted fans who all thought he was dead.

It’s the type of story unlikely to occur today; Rodriguez’s albums, which were passed hand-to-hand in apartheid-era South Africa, are now available on iTunes and can be yours in seconds.

“Maybe this is the last story like this there will ever be,” Bendjelloul says. “It’s kind of sad that this can’t ever happen again, because you like mysteries. But I’m sure there are going to be more mysteries in the world.”

Can this be? Two characters in an Aaron Sorkin-penned movie, and neither is lecturing?

D.C. has become a hot spot for international restaurant chains as they establish a presence in the U.S. And for good reason: With its mix of embassies, NGOs and international businesses, Washington is home to a distinctively global crowd. For expats, chains from abroad offer a taste of familiarity (and for the rest of us, they’re simply fun to experience). Here are four of the newest local additions to our foreign-food scene. BE TH MARLOWE (E X PRES S) Having worked in England in 2005, Foggy Bottom resident Jennifer Pellizzaro was happy when the British sandwich chain Pret a Manger opened its first D.C. shop in Penn Quarter in January 2009. But not as excited as her British husband, Ben. “He was ecstatic … because I think it felt a little more like home to him,” she says. “He drove us over the second day it was open.” Pret’s standout items include the light Spicy Shrimp & Cilantro wrap ($7) and the Slim Chicken & Bacon sandwich ($7), a meaty indulgence flavored with special seasoning. As in the U.K., the food is made fresh daily (but not made to order). A new shop at 14th and H streets NW — Washington’s sixth Pret — is scheduled to open in SepPret a Manger tember. sells a meaty

The region’s first Nando’s PeriPeri opened in Chinatown in 2008, on a joyful day for Sarah Thomson. She’d eaten at Nando’s when she studied in South Africa (she says it’s as prevalent there as McDonald’s is here).

To take advantage of her closer proximity to Nando’s in the U.S. and its flame-grilled chicken and famously spicy sauces, she had 10 friends join her at the newly opened restaurant for her 24th birthday. “I think we were some of their first customers,” Thomson says. The American Nando’s is more upscale than its South African forebearer, offering the option to sit down instead of just grab-and-go. That’s because the chain adapted its service style to the U.S. market, says Alan Wollenschlaeger, Nando’s vice president of operations. The newest local Nando’s opened in Pentagon Row in June (1301 S. Joyce St., Arlington); the company plans to add another in Old Town Alexandria in coming months.

COURTESY PAUL

FWkb The French bakery and sandwich chain originated with a family-run boulangerie near Lille, France, in 1889. Since then, it’s expanded around the world and, more recently, into Washington.

Paul’s D.C. flagship opened in Penn Quarter a year ago, and two others followed (the newest, which opened in June, is at 1000 Connecticut Ave. NW). Eugenie Monasterio, 25, who hails from Paris, went out of her way to patronize Paul in the nearly two years she lived here. “The recipes are old-fashioned,” she says by email from Paris, where she recently returned. “The atmosphere is … very cliché of a French bakery.” Her favorite sandwiches are the Charlemagne Mixte, a “very classic” ham and cheese combo ($7.25), and the Dieppois, which contains tuna with a light mayonnaise dressing ($6.75).

Although there are a few franchised Pauls in Miami, D.C. is the only American city with company-run restaurants. “We wanted to have a city that has an international vibe, where genuine authentic food is appreciated,” says Philippe Sanchez, CEO of Paul USA.

Get ready for more spicy chicken from Nando’s, a South African chain.

Oe Iki^_ Last week saw the opening of British chain Yo! Sushi in Union Station. It’s the company’s first American location, and it comes complete with the brand’s trademark conveyor belt, which transports small plates of sushi to customers seated around the restaurant. Diners pluck off what they wish — options include creative rolls such as the toro wasabi and jalapeño ($5; tuna belly with wasabi root relish and jalapeño), hot rice and noodle dishes and miso-flavored desserts — and pay for it all at the end. “It’s really easy. It’s really fun. It’s really quick,” says Jennifer Pellizzaro, who became a fan while living in England. “If someone was going somewhere on the train and had 30 minutes, that’s the best meal you could get.” The 15-year-old chain, which has locations throughout the U.K. and in the Middle East, chose D.C. because of its desirable demographics. “It’s young, it’s hip, it’s urban,” says Darren Wightman, the president of Yo! Sushi USA. A second site is slated to open in Chinatown by Christmas.

Juan Valdez Café (Colombia): The Colombian coffee chain sells its signature brew, as well as specialty pastries, at its Washington location in Foggy Bottom. 1889 F St. NW; Juanvaldezcafe.com

Turmeric restaurant serves artful plates such as saag paneer, homemade cheese atop spinach with onions, herbs and spices.

M[bb I[Wied[Z An Indian bistro is reincarnated as the attractive Turmeric

When the owners of Aditi Bistro decided to close their Indian restaurant in April, they replaced the Vienna outpost with a similar menu but a new billing: Turmeric.

“We’re giving it a fresh look and feel,” says proprietor Sri Suku of the 50-seat interior. The spicy name “has goodwill behind it.” Turmeric is a natural antiseptic and a potent antiinf lammatory agent — medicinal properties that Suku wants to emphasize.

The entrepreneur graduated from George Mason University in 2006 with a fine arts degree,

which he obviously put to use here.

Save for the cooking aromas that perfume it, the deep-yellow dining room could pass for a smart gallery. The walls showcase Indian paintings wrought from carved (believe it or not) plastic foam, and a small bar has replaced a counter where Indian wraps were once rolled.

Ser vice is amiable, if sometimes off-pace: Main courses showed up ahead of appetizers on a recent taste tour.

Like the design, the food is fetching. Saag paneer shows off bright green spinach; black lentils balance butter with garlic, cumin and curry leaves; and you can count on a pleasant shock if you order the vinegar- and chilispiked vindaloo.

A handful of dishes from Ker-

<_hij 8_j[

ala (chicken in coconut gravy and malabar fish curry) reflect the restaurateur’s southern Indian heritage; the thick nan is reminiscent of the flatbread found in Afghan restaurants. For extra snap, throw in an order of lemon pickle.

While Suku’s family closed the first Aditi in Georgetown last year, the brand lives on with Aditi Indian Dining in Alexandria and two grocery stores, both named Aditi Spice Depot, in Herndon and Vienna.

The last is just a few storefronts away from Turmeric, which is soon to be joined by a sibling on its strip: Crepe Amour. Yet another Suku creation, it will launch with a food truck, Crepe Love

Gore Vidal, shown here in 1974, was a prolific writer who penned many classic plays, movies, essays and novels.

Curtain Call

JAMES WHITE/NICKELODEON

Broadway theaters will dim their marquee lights Friday night in memory of Gore Vidal, and the cast of his play “The Best Man” will dedicate the next week of performances to the author. The Broadway League said Wednesday the lights will be dimmed for one minute at exactly 8 p.m. Friday. Executive director Charlotte St. Martin called Vidal’s work both “timely and timeless.” (AP)

7 MWo M_j^ MehZi Gore Vidal, revered for his sharp wit and urbanity, dies at 86 EX_jkWho Gore Vidal, 86, a celebrated writer, cultural gadfly and occasional political candidate, died of pneumonia Tuesday at his Hollywood Hills home, according to a nephew. Known for his urbanity and wit — “Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little” — Vidal’s literary career spanned more than 60 years, and he once said that he hoped to be remembered as “the person who wrote the best sentences of his time.”

He was an astonishingly versatile man of letters and nearly the last major writer of the modern era to have served in World War II. Having resolved at age 20 to live by his pen, Vidal produced plays for television

and Broadway, including the political drama “The Best Man”; helped script such movies as “Ben-Hur,” the 1959 epic starring Charlton Heston; and gained notoriety for the novel “Myra Breckinridge,” about a transsexual film enthusiast.

Vidal also won plaudits from scholars, critics and ordinary readers for historical novels such as the best-selling “Julian,” “Burr” and “Lincoln,” and English critic Jonathan Keates called him “the 20th century’s finest essayist.” “United States,” which gathers Vidal’s essays on art, politics and himself, received the 1993 National Book Award. In print or on television — he was a frequent talk-show guest — the worldly Vidal provoked controversy with his laissez-faire attitude toward every sort of sexuality, his well-reasoned disgust with American imperialism and his sophisticated cynicism about love, religion, patriotism and other sacred cows.

“Hollywood Heights” is a gift from Nick at Nite to lovers of truly bad TV. The soap, airing weeknights at 9 p.m., is a masterpiece of inane plotting. There are teens who want to be rock stars and/or burglars, snippy young adults and horny parents.

James Franco occasionally portrays a “freakin’ genius” movie mogul. (Talk about typecasting.) No doubt, he was drawn to the brilliantly ludicrous dialogue. Some samples: Clinic staffer Ellie 8o CWhY and her boss just had I_bl[h sex in his office.

Ellie: “You’re saying you and I are involved?”

Boss: “Yes, in a way.”

Ellie: “I hope we can do this again soon.”

Singer Chloe confronts her bedraggled mom.

Chloe: “I’m embarrassed of you.”

Mom: “Your own mother?”

Chloe: “You don’t know the meaning of that word.”

This kind of dialogue doesn’t write itself. My theory is that a team of monkeys retypes the worst lines from scripts of past soap operas.

Even if “Heights” isn’t your kind of show, give credit where credit is due: With a cast of dozens of mediocre thespians, the series is doing its bit to lower the U.S. unemployment rate.

Vidal was born Oct. 3, 1925, at West Point, N.Y., where his father, Eugene Vidal, was teaching aeronautics. His mother, Nina, was the socialite daughter of Sen. T.P. Gore of Oklahoma. Christened Eugene Luther Gore Vidal, the writer later lopped off the first two names “for political as well as for aesthetic reasons.” He said that “this often has been gleefully interpreted as a rejection of my father, whom I liked, in order to become my mother, whom I disliked.”

In fact, so great was his antagonism toward his mother that Vidal stopped seeing her during the last 25 years of her life. He hero-worshipped his father, a former Olympic athlete in the decathlon.

Young Vidal spent much of his childhood in Washington and was particularly attached to his grandfather. The senator was blind, so the boy spent many hours reading to him, thus inaugurating his lifelong passion for books.

Vidal cast a cold eye on the society of his time and resolutely upheld the values of urbanity and pleasure against the onslaughts of the barbarian, the puritan and the philistine.

“Always a godfather, never a god,” he quipped at a christening.

London’s Michael Kiwanuka proves his singing chops on “Home Again.”

past masters who understood that less is often more.

The opening track, “Tell Me a Tale,” finds the band in early Van Morrison mode, dexterously winding through a complex arrangement dotted with strings and woodwinds over a compelling jazz shuffle. The Brill Building-style, ersatz doo-wop of “Bones” reveals yet another side of Kiwanuka’s talent.

Kiwanuka is an artist who could sound good singing the phone book.

If there’s a criticism to be leveled against “Home Again,” it’s that it occasionally sounds like that’s exactly what he’s doing. Kiwanuka oozes talent, but in order to measure up fully to the idols he so easily evokes, he’ll need to think more deeply about what he actually wants to say.

Marilyn Monroe, in the knife-pleated gold lamé gown she wore in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” remains a worldwide style icon.

J^[ <[c_d_d[ ?Z[Wb Marilyn Monroe’s legacy endures 50 years after her death Only 11 years after her death, Elton John sang his ode to Marilyn Monroe. “And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid,” went the lyrics. “Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.”

What John didn’t know was how much truer his words would ring a few decades later.

Monroe passed away a half century ago this Sunday, but her legend lives on, more vibrantly than ever. In a development this fiercely ambitious actress surely would have appreciated, the 1950s bombshell has become a 21st-century pop culture phenomenon.

Just flip through a celebrity magazine: Some of-the-moment young starlet or pop singer will be channel-

ing those platinum locks, the bright red lips, moist and slightly parted, and that joyously, almost defiantly curvy figure, sheathed in something skintight and glamorous.

Madonna, of course, has famously appropriated Monroe’s look into her image. So have singers Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani.

In June, on what would have been Marilyn’s 86th birthday, Lady Gaga tweeted “Happy Birthday Marilyn

— They’ll never take our blonde hair and lipstick,” along with a picture of herself, Monroe-like.

On the big screen, Michelle Williams earned an Oscar nomination for her moving portrayal of Monroe in “My Week With Marilyn.” And on TV’s “Smash,” two actresses compete to play Marilyn in a Broadway musical based on her life.

But why has Marilyn’s appeal only gotten stronger over time?

“First of all, she died very young,” freezing her image for eternity, says Lois Banner, Monroe’s latest biographer. But another reason is the existence of thousands of photographs of Marilyn, bursting with life. “She’s conceivably the most photographed person of the 20th century,” Banner says.

Christopher Nickens, co-author of the recently released “Marilyn in Fashion,” considers her lasting appeal to be much more straightforward. “Marilyn was the epitome of a certain kind of feminine ideal,” he says. JOCELYN NOVECK (AP)

“Putting more focus on Gabby’s hair and not her athleticism proves many of us are still missing the point on where true beauty, strength, and health lies.

Some of us are sitting up right now with our hair done but suffering from high blood pressure, borderline diabetes, obesity, and/or a lack of energy. Oh, but the hair is on point.”

— SPORTYAFROS.COM responds to the criticism that U.S. Olympic gymnast and gold medalist Gabby Douglas received online about her hair while competing in the allaround competition Tuesday.

— @MIKEDRUCKER reacts to Wednesday’s “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day,” a nationwide effort to support the fast-food chain, whose chief executive has said he opposes gay marriage.

“No longer scared of the commies? Or the terrorists? Well, then, what about something that DOESN’T EVEN EXIST?! That’ll get them to listen! Remember, if the EMP doesn’t kill you, then manbearpig will.”

— Commenter “CHEESENPEAS” AT DCIST.COM

scoffs at former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who said the massive power outages after a June 29 derecho would be similar to what an “electromagnetic pulse attack” would be like.
