Ex-Obama Ally to Speak for GOP Former Dem to call for a Romney victory at party convention

races and then go on to blame it on everyone but themselves.”

Despite ties to the president that went back to their days together at Harvard, Davis did not always support Obama’s agenda as president. He was the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus to vote against Obama’s healthcare plan.

Four years ago, former Alabama representative Artur Davis spoke at the Democratic National Convention and asked voters to put Barack Obama in the president’s office. In two weeks, he will speak at the Republican National Convention and ask voters to put Obama out of office.

The Republican National Committee announced Thursday that Davis would speak at the event in Tampa, Fla., in support of Mitt Romney for president. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Davis was chosen to “give voice to the frustration and disappointment felt among those who supported President Obama in 2008 and are now hungry for a new direction.”

Mark Kennedy, chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party, said, “The only part of the electorate Artur Davis is giving a voice to are former candidates who lost their

Montgomery, Ala.

Former Democratic congressman-turned-Republican Artur Davis will address the Republican National Convention to voice disillusionment with President Obama.

“The one thing that I can bring to the table is to be something of a voice for that group of people.”

Meanwhile …

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Thursday that he has never paid less than 13 percent of his income in taxes in the past decade. But he declined anew to release the records that would prove it. “I did go back and look at my taxes, and over the past 10 years, I never paid less than 13 percent. I think the most recent year is 13.6 or something like that. So I paid taxes every single year,” he said. (AP)

The four-term congressman gave up his House seat in 2010 to try to become Alabama’s first black governor, but he lost the Democratic primary after clashing with some prominent black leaders. Then he moved to Virginia, switched parties and recently began showing up at GOP events. PHILLIP R AWLS (AP)

In a surprising turnaround, the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from coal.

In a little-noticed technical report, the U.S. Energy Information Agency said this month that total U.S. CO2 emissions for the first four months of this year fell to about 1992 levels. While conservation efforts, the lagging economy and greater use of renewable energy are factors in the decline, the dropoff is attributed mainly to low-priced natural gas, the agency said.

The question is whether the shift is a bright spot in a big, gloomy picture, or a potential trend. (AP)

Diplomatic standoff ensues as Britain balks at the decision BedZed He’s won asylum in Ecuador, but Julian Assange is no closer to getting there.

The dramatic decision by the Latin American nation to identify the WikiLeaks founder as a political refugee is a symbolic boost for the ex-hacker, but legal experts say that does little to help him avoid extradition to Sweden on sexual assault allegations — and does much to drag Britain and Ecuador into an international face-off.

“We’re at something of an impasse,” extradition lawyer Rebecca Niblock said. “It’s not a question of law anymore. It’s a question of politics and diplomacy.”

Ecuadorean Foreign Minister

Ricardo Patino announced Thursday that he had granted political asylum to Assange, who has been holed up at the small, coastal nation’s embassy in London since June 19. He said Ecuador was taking action because Assange faces a serious threat of unjust prosecution at the hands of U.S. officials.

WikiLeaks said he would make a statement outside Ecuador’s embassy Sunday, potentially offering police the chance to arrest him.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Britain will not allow Assange safe passage to Latin America. “There is no legal basis for us to do so,” he said.

He said Assange was wanted in Sweden to answer allegations of “sexual offenses” and that the extradition had nothing to do with WikiLeaks or with the U.S. GONZALO SOL ANO AND R APHAEL SAT TER (AP)

M^o ?i 7iiWd][ MWdj[Z5 Julian Assange shot to international prominence in 2010 after he began publishing on his WikiLeaks website a huge trove of American diplomatic and military secrets — including a quarter million U.S. embassy cables that shed a harsh light on the back-room dealings of U.S. diplomats. Amid the ferment, two Swedish women accused him of sexual assault; he has been fighting extradition to Sweden since.

Efj_edi \eh ;iYWf[ Some supporters want Assange to be granted Ecuadorean citizenship and made a member of the embassy staff, so he would be protected by diplomatic immunity.

Lebanese Clan Claims It Seized Syrian Nationals

Police Gun Miners Down in S. Africa @e^Wdd[iXkh] South African police opened fire Thursday on a crowd of striking miners who charged a line of officers trying to disperse them, killing some and wounding others in one of the worst shootings by officials since the apartheid era ended.

Police declined to offer casualty figures at the Lonmin PLC mine near Marikana. However, the New York Times said the country’s main media agency reported 18 miners had been killed.

The shooting happened Thursday after police failed to get the miners to hand over machetes and other weapons. Others began war chants and started marching, said Molaole Montsho, a journalist.

The police opened up with a water cannon, then used stun gre-

nades and tear gas to try to break up the crowd, Montsho said.

Officers opened fire after a group of miners rushed at them.

It was an astonishing development in a country that has been a

model of stability since racist white rule ended in 1994. The shooting recalled images of white police firing at protesters in the 1960s and ’70s, but this was mostly black police firing at black miners. (AP)

A powerful Shiite Muslim clan in Lebanon claimed Thursday to have captured more Syrian nationals in retaliation for the seizure of a family member by rebels in Syria this week.

Later in the day, the clan said it called off “military operations” and would halt abductions.

The abductions have raised concerns that Syria’s civil war is spilling over into neighboring Lebanon, where deep rivalries have erupted into deadly violence. Lebanon has its own bitter history of a 15-year civil war, an explosive sectarian mix and deep divisions between pro- and anti-Syrian factions. (AP)

Another No-No? Why, Yes.

The latest no-hitter — and perfect game — was thrown

by Felix Hernandez in Seattle on Wednesday.

The No-Hitters

April 21

Philip Humber, Chicago at Seattle, 4-0, (perfect game) In the first of two perfect games thrown at Seattle’s Safeco Field this year, Humber — who had previously been best known for being one of the prospects the Mets traded away to acquire Johan Santana — finally lived up to expectations set after being drafted No. 3 overall in the 2004 draft.

May 2

Jered Weaver, L.A. Angels vs. Minnesota, 9-0 Weaver struck out nine and walked one. The Twins never came close to getting a hit against the All-Star right-hander, who threw the Angels’ second no-no in less than a year.

Seattle’s Felix Hernandez threw Major League Baseball’s third perfect game of the season Wednesday — a record — joining San Francisco’s Matt Cain and the White Sox’s Philip Humber. That means six of the 23 perfectos in baseball history have come since 2009. Little wonder this is being called the Decade of the Pitcher. Let’s look at six reasons why pitchers have become so dominant:

Talent on the Mound

Player Development

Fielding

Hitting

Pitchers the likes of Jered Weaver, left, and Johan Santana are getting the best of the matchups again. Starting with 1995, the heart of the Steroids Era, the best three years for earned-run average are 2010-2012 — it’s 4.21 this year, third best, according to STATS LLC.

Thanks to comprehensive video recording systems at the ballparks, computers are churning out complex spray charts and helping track batter tendencies with precision. Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik is a big proponent of runs saved by defense and maybe that helps explain why two of the Mariners’ four no-hitters in club history have come this season.

Luck

We’re not talking about players taking a seat far away from a pitcher with a no-no in progress. That’s superstition. We mean the call that goes a pitcher’s way — i.e. Carlos Beltran’s ball ruled foul but TV replays showed it clearly landed on the left field line in Santana’s no-hitter. Everyone can use a little luck now and then.

Pitch limits. Cut fastballs. Better training techniques. The trend over the past decade has been to spend on building farm systems and developing pitchers from the draft — and then protecting those assets. Just look at the Nationals, who lead the NL East with a rotation topped by homegrown stars Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann.

Home runs are down. Runs are down. The fact is hitters often look overmatched these days. Opponents’ batting average (.260) has not been this low since 1995, according to STATS. In 2010 and ’11 it was .261. The .268 in 2009 looks pretty good now.

Drugs

The suspension of San Francisco Giants All-Star outfielder Melky Cabrera on Wednesday shows the system is working. The gaudy numbers of the Steroids Era are gone, and while hitters weren’t the only ones cheating, pitchers appear to be getting more benefit from a return to a level playing field. HOWIE RUMBERG (AP)

6 The number of no-hitters this year. One more, and major league pitchers will tie the seven set in 1990 and matched a season later.

8 The record number of no-hitters thrown is eight — back in 1884, when Chester Arthur was president.

June 1

Johan Santana, N.Y. Mets vs. St. Louis, 8-0 The two-time Cy Young award winner threw the first no-hitter in New York Mets’ history, helped by an umpire’s missed call and an outstanding catch in left field

June 8

Six pitchers, Seattle vs. L.A. Dodgers, 1-0 Six pitchers ­— Kevin Millwood (6 innings), Charlie Furbush (2/3), Stephen Pryor (1/3), Lucas Luetge (1/3), Brandon League (2/3) and Tom Wilhelmsen (1) — combined for Seattle’s first no-hitter since 1993.

June 13

Matt Cain, San Francisco vs. Houston, 10-0, (perfect game) Cain pitched the franchise’s first perfect game and the 22nd in major league history, striking out a career-high 14 and getting help from two spectacular catches

Aug. 15

Felix Hernandez, Seattle, vs. Tampa Bay, 1-0, (perfect game) King Felix’s crowning achievement gave Seattle its second no-hitter of the year and the team’s first perfect game. (ap)

Ie 9bei[" Ie <Wh Stop wondering why the chicken crossed the road.

I have a funnier story about why I was too chicken to cross the road. Allow me to set the scene. It was a hot day — of course — in early August. I’d taken the Metro out to West Falls Church, bused to the TysonsWest Park Transit Station and walked nearly a mile along noisy, smelly streets to get to my destination.

Or rather, a few yards away from my destination, Vienna’s Sheraton Premiere hotel, which claims on its website, “There are many reliable ways of arriving here.”

Considering the horrendous traffic in Tysons, I’m not exactly sure which ways the hotel could possibly be referring to, but none

of them are on foot. Although I’d passed a few stoplights on my way along Leesburg Pike, there wasn’t a single crosswalk, and as I headed toward the next intersection, I couldn’t find a walk signal there, either. I can sprint pretty fast, but there was no way I was going to dash across six lanes of traffic and

a construction zone.

The roadwork, part of Metro’s Silver Line project, is intended to eventually make the area more walkable. (Seriously, not a hard goal to reach.) In theory, this means I could show up next yea r a nd pra nce across L eesburg Pike no problem.

Unfortunately, I’d le f t my t i me machine at home, so I had to consider my remaining options.

One was to trek back to the Tysons-West Park station and wait for another bus with a route that would take me to the other side of the street. The other was to head into Koons Tysons Toyota — which I’d kept walking past as I pondered my predicament — and ask if there was a secret way to make my move.

I picked option B. My parents taught me never to t r ust a car sa lesman, but I definitely believed the folks there who said I was sunk. When t hey offered me a lif t in t he dealership shuttle, I went for it.

Even in a van, it wasn’t a speedy drop-off. Between congestion and the construction, it took almost 10 minutes to drive right across the street.

The irony is that my destination was the DCAC Fitness Convention, where hundreds of exercise pros learned different ways to get people excited about activity. Boot camp and Zumba and Spinning do it for some people. But the most accessible exercise is walking, and until our landscape is redesigned to accommodate it as a form of transportation, we’ll be standing still as a society.

Feb_Y[ ?dl[ij_]Wj[ C7H9 JhW_d 7YY_Z[dj MWi^_d]jed Montgomery County police are investigating an incident in which an officer’s police vehicle was struck Monday morning by a MARC train as the car attempted to cross the tracks in North Bethesda. No injuries were reported, but several hun-

dred passengers on the eastbound train were stranded on board for more than an hour, officials said.

Those waiting to board at the nearby Rockville station had to be diverted to Metro.

Police spokesman Paul Starks said the officer was responding to an emergency call when he inched

his squad car up to the edge of the tracks near the intersection of Randolph Road and Nebel Street. The train clipped the car’s front bumper when it passed. “It didn’t sound like the usual thud, like if we had hit a deer,” said MARC passenger Gene Hayes. “It was very metallic.”

Local Suspect faces up to 30 years for attack at downtown D.C. office Washington The man authorities say walked into the downtown D.C. offices of the Family Research Council and shot a security guard Wednesday morning was charged Thursday with assault with intent to kill while armed and interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition, according to court filings and officials.

Floyd Lee Corkins II, 28, of Herndon, appeared in U.S. District

Court in D.C. on Thursday afternoon during a brief hearing before Magistrate Judge Alan Kay. During the proceedings, which lasted approximately 20 minutes, the judge ordered Corkins held without bond ahead of another hearing scheduled for Aug. 24.

According to an FBI affidavit made public Thursday, Corkins walked into the lobby of the conservative group’s headquarters shortly before 11 a.m. and encountered the guard, Leonardo Reno Johnson.

A law enforcement official familiar with the incident but not authorized to talk about it said Corkins asked to see someone Johnson

didn’t know. Johnson has worked at the Council for 11 years and became suspicious. Corkins said he had the name in his bag, bent

down and pulled out a 9mm handgun, the official said.

Corkins said, “I don’t like your politics,” according to the FBI affidavit. He then shot at Johnson, the affidavit said, and hit him in the arm.

If convicted, Corkins could face prison sentences of up to 10 years on the federal firearms charge and up to 30 on the D.C. assault charge.

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier credited Johnson with preventing a tragedy by stopping Corkins from reaching the upstairs offices in the group’s six-story building at Eighth and G streets NW. Peter Hermann and Keith L. Alex ander (The Washington Post )

Mayor Vincent Gray announced Thursday that a blue-ribbon committee will examine whether more power lines in the city should be buried.

The panel is being co-chaired

by City Administrator Allen Y. Lew and Pepco Holdings CEO Joseph M. Rigby and is composed of various high-level city officials, the chairwoman of the D.C. Public Service Commission, representatives of other utilities with overhead lines, two city residents and the people’s counsel — a public attorney who represents ratepayer interests in utility regulation matters.

The panel’s first meeting is set for Aug. 23 in Room G-9 of the John A. Wilson Building. Members of the public wishing to comment are asked to register by calling 202-478-9200.

In Brief

Manassas, va.

Skeletal Remains Found Behind Manassas Home Prince William County detectives and crime-scene technicians are examining the skeletal remains of a body found behind a house in Manassas, police said in a statement. “At this time, we can only confirm that the remains are that of an adult,” the police department wrote on its Facebook page. Authorities do not yet know whether foul play is suspected. (the washington post)

Officials Report Second West Nile Virus Case

A second West Nile virus case has been reported in Maryland. A state health official said Thursday that the new case is in the Washington metro area, but she did not give an exact location. The first was reported in mid-July in central Maryland.

Kim Mitchell, who tracks West Nile for the state health department, says the most recent case involves a 70-yearold patient suffering from encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. (AP)

Line of Fire A flare-up of injuries leave RGIII at risk J^[ H[Zia_di Robert Griffin III is the Redskins’ crown jewel, but right now, his protection is the equivalent of a busted glass case with a broken alarm and a sleeping guard.

Heading into Saturday’s preseason contest against Chicago, the Redskins’ offensive line is patchwork, to say the least. Injuries have riddled the line, making every snap that Griffin takes fraught with danger, as backups try to fill the void.

Similar problems plagued the Redskins last year, but, let’s face it, the wellbeing of Rex Grossman and John Beck wasn’t as important as keeping the face of the franchise upright.

“Yeah, it’s always disappointing when somebody goes down, but it’s the nature of the game,” Shanahan said.

“That’s why you build depth. Like we talked about at the beginning of the year, we got a few [offensive linemen] in the draft, got a couple in free agency, so we have a little bit more depth than we had a year ago. And it’s a good thing.”

and gaining enough weight to get back into lineman shape after contemplating retirement.

“Having to eat all day and go out to practice with a belly full of food can be difficult,” Black said. “But I think I’m headed in the right direction. I’ve knocked the rust off.”

If there’s a plus, it’s that most of the linemen are expected back before the regular season begins, with the exception of Brown, who remains on the physically unable to perform list.

“I feel really positive about the progress I’m making,” Chester said.

“Things are looking really good for me.

And we have a very mature group, so I’m confident we’ll be fine.”

Fine might not be good enough for Redskins fans worried about a collection of rookies, castoffs and out-ofposition players guarding the team’s most valuable asset, but they all say not to worry. “If you look at the Buffalo game, we had a patchwork group, and at the end of the day, we didn’t allow any sacks,” Black said. “I do believe that we can protect Robert.”

Nats Make Right Call With Strasburg

Nats will finally be at full strength with Desmond’s return

F_jY^_d] CWjY^kfi

' ( )

J^[ DWj_edWbi Ian Desmond walked into his manager’s office this week and did not look happy.

The Nationals’ All-Star shortstop hadn’t played since July 21 and had just taken batting practice to test his injured oblique. He’d hoped to return soon.

“I’m hurt,” Desmond said, and Davey Johnson’s heart sank.

“Oh, no,” Johnson said. “How bad is it?”

“My ears hurt,” Desmond said, “from the loud sound coming off my bat.”

Johnson recounted the story for reporters traveling with the team on its recent road trip, which concluded Wednesday with an 8-2 record.

When the Nationals open a homestand on Friday against the New York Mets, Johnson intends to activate Desmond from the disabled list, putting the club as close to full strength as it has been in a season filled with injuries to starting position players.

M7I>?D=JED li$ D$O$ C;JI

Friday: Ross Detwiler (6-5, 3.18 ERA) vs. Johan Santana (6-8, 4.58 ERA)

Saturday: Edwin Jackson (7-7, 3.74 ERA) vs. Jon Niese (9-6,3.67 ERA)

Sunday: Gio Gonzalez (15-6, 3.29 ERA) vs. Jeremy Hefner (2-4, 4.76 ERA)

Only catcher Wilson Ramos, who was lost for the season in May with a knee injury, will be missing from the lineup.

“It’s going to be fun,” Johnson said. “We haven’t all been together, and we’re still missing Willy Ramos, but getting Desi back will be great.”

In addition to Desmond, key hitters including Ryan Zimmermann, Michael Morse and Jay-

son Werth have spent significant time on the disabled list. Despite their absences, the Nationals have spent most of the season atop the National League East. Early in the year, the hitters sputtered and the pitching staff overcame the offensive shortcomings. But as the lineup slowly came close to whole, the offense revived itself, propelling the team to the best record in baseball, even in Desmond’s absence, during which the club went 19-6.

The Nationals will not remain at full strength for long. Right-

hander Stephen Strasburg, in his first-year back from Tommy John surgery, will soon be shut down by general manager Mike Rizzo in an effort to preserve his arm and his future. For a few weeks, at least, the Nationals could be at the height of their powers.

Desmond, who was batting .286 with 17 home runs and 53 RBI, figures to move into the No. 6 spot in the batting order. His return is a bit ahead of schedule, thanks in part to Johnson’s decision not to send Desmond on a minor-league rehab stint, proclaiming his shortstop “good to go.”

“If he wants me, that’s what I’m up for,” Desmond said. “Whenever my name is in the lineup, I’ll be ready to play. Baseball is baseball. I’d rather be out there helping my team than anywhere else.”

>[Êi 8WYa All-Star shortstop Ian Desmond is slated to come off the disabled list in time for this weekend’s series.

Shutting down Stephen Strasburg early this year makes perfect sense, unless you’re a fan of the Nationals. If that’s the case, you’re probably crying foul as Washington prepares to enter its first baseball postseason since 1933 without its top pitcher. D.C. fans have a unique claim to this being a once-in-alifetime opportunity for their team to reach the World Series.

The debate has 8o CWjj reached a fever pitch Im[died because of the emotions involved. General manager Mike Rizzo’s plan even had Strasburg’s father scratching his head, according to a column this week by The Washington Post’s Thomas Boswell. By the end of a conversation, Rizzo successfully made his case to the elder Strasburg, not that anyone could persuade the GM to back off a schedule set in motion by Strasburg’s elbow surgery in 2010.

?\ IjhWiXkh] Xbemi ^_i Whc dem" j^[d m^[h[ mekbZ j^[ DWji X[ b[\j \eh j^[ d[nj Z[YWZ[5 The science backs up the plan.

Decades of trial and error have shown that bringing a pitcher back from Tommy John surgery slowly is the best way to prevent a future injury. If Strasburg were to blow his arm now, where would that leave the Nats for the next decade? Enjoy 160 to 180 innings this year so you can enjoy thousands more later.

Rizzo had to make a cold, factbased decision, and it’s one that should stand the test of time. It will be hard on the Nats, their fans and Strasburg himself. But, as Tom Hanks told us in “A League of Their Own,” baseball is supposed to be hard.

D.C. United Trades Cruz to Philadelphia CW`eh B[W]k[ IeYY[h D.C. United’s front office made a risky move Thursday to end the team’s four-year post-season drought, sending right winger Danny Cruz to rival Philadelphia Union in exchange for 31-year-old Colombian forward Lionard Pajoy.

Cruz won’t wait long to take on

his old team: Philadelphia visits D.C. for a nationally televised match Sunday at RFK Stadium.

“It was not an easy decision to trade Danny,” D.C. United general manager Dave Kasper said in a statement. “He’s been a terrific player on and off the field this season. We felt that we needed to add another piece up top, and the opportunity to get Lionard Pajoy was one that we could not pass up.”

Area Teenager Hopes to Squash Competition Sport blossoms in area with tourney and planned complex

Camille Lanier lunges for the ball as she practices for this weekend’s squash tournament in D.C.

Wheaties Boxes Feature Phelps for Second Time

KATHERINE FREY/TTWP

IgkWi^ Emerging from a towering inferno, Camille Lanier dives across the court and stretches her body in hopes of returning a ball. The advertisement, which stands near the entrance of Georgetown’s posh Sports Club/LA, attempts to draw attention toward the 18-year-old’s appearance in this weekend’s Squash on Fire tournament.

Squash is a relatively anonymous sport in the District, and Lanier said the aim of the tournament, which opened Thursday, is to bring in national talent while creating a buzz in the area.

The name is in accordance with the title of a squash complex that Lanier’s father, real estate mogul Anthony Lanier, plans to construct atop the West End fire station.

“I wish he would have done it earlier,” Lanier laughed. “It would have made more sense.”

Lanier graduated from National Cathedral School and will enroll this month at the University of Pennsylvania. She’ll play squash, and is leaning toward majoring in architecture.

This weekend’s tournament will be Lanier’s third professional tournament but her first since leaving the junior division. Most of her opposition will be older.

“A lot of them have been doing this for years,” Lanier said. “Definitely experience-wise, they’ll have an advantage.”

La nier played soccer a nd lacrosse when she was younger and only began playing squash as a way to stay active during the winter. Her mother then started a camp at the sports club to keep

from the Houston Dynamo, was a popular part of the new culture in a stable locker room, and his work ethic made him a favorite of coach Ben Olsen. Cruz and Nick DeLeon, childhood friends and former college teammates, were a big part of the team’s early-season surge.

Playing time had diminished as of late for Cruz, whose playoff experience last season — he started all of Houston’s 2011 playoff games — would have come in handy in the coming months. AV I C R E D I T O R

She competed in her third-straight Under-19 European Championship as part of the Portuguese National team. Lanier possesses dual citizenship and is the team’s top female-singles player.

her involved. Two years ago, she began traveling to Baltimore to train with four-time NCAA champion Lefika Ragontse.

She was able to configure her high school schedule in order to end classes by noon and then travel by car or train to Baltimore. She’d be back home by 5 p.m. and eat dinner before she started her three or four hours of homework.

“It was really difficult,” Lanier said. “But over the years I learned how to manage it.” MAT T BREEN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TipsFor First-Time Renters Novices can benefit from the advice of others who have been in their shoes Apartment-Hunting

KEVIN DIETSCH/FOR EXPRESS

When Elizabeth Bolton searched for her first apartment, she had a strategy — and a spreadsheet.

She compiled a list of must-haves for her perfect apartment, as well as a list of negotiable features. As she checked out different units, she entered their vital stats into a chart to help her make her final decision.

Bolton was about to discover what all first-time renters have to learn: You can’t always get what you want. That realization is a rite of passage for novice apartment-hunters in a market where demand is outpacing supply and prices can send even the most gainfully employed of recent college grads into sticker shock.

Even with her organized operation, Bolton wound up falling short on her apart-

When she went hunting for her first apartment, Elizabeth Bolton had high hopes. She ended up compromising, paying a higher rent so she could live on her own.

nextweek What if something goes wrong?

In next week’s Ready to Rent, we’ll help you navigate the tricky waters of getting out of your lease.

Renters may soon get some relief. The Washington Post reported last week that 6,000 new rental units are set to open in the Washington area by the end of this year, and some experts and analysts say that could ease the rise in monthly rental payments.

But finding an affordable place will still be tough. According to Delta Associates, which provides research services to the real estate industry, rents in newer buildings in the D.C. area with lots of amenities average $1,861 a month for units of all sizes and have increased by 3 percent over the past year, while rents for properties that are older and offer fewer amenities average

Hunting Help To find an apartment, use “a combination of high tech and word of mouth,” says Bonnie Casper, a sales associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Bethesda and the president of the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors.

Searching Craigslist and Apartments.com can definitely yield results but so can strolling your desired neighborhood and actually walking into apartment buildings to inquire about vacancies.

Benjamin Matek and his roommate used the Web, real estate agents and their own two feet to eventually land their Adams Morgan pad. “We walked around the neighborhoods we wanted to live in to see what was available,” he says.

Doing this can help firsttimers find rentals that haven’t hit the market yet or that hidden gem in a small building that’s not being advertised in any other way but a “For Rent” sign in the window.

Renters who are brand-new to the D.C. area might need extra help navigating through the region. Online research can help them get familiar with their new hometown, as can such apartment-finder services as Urban Igloo. Reaching out to their circle of friends can also lead to valuable tips and insight.

“Everybody knows someone who lives in the D.C. area,” says Debbie Kaplan, chief operating officer for apartment locater firm Urban Igloo. “So tap into those resources.” (B.L.)

ment wish list.

“I came upon the realization that there’s always going to be a tradeoff, whether that’s price, location or amenities,” says Bolton, 24, who works in Virginia as a government consultant. “I was really hoping for triple-digit rent, but the only way that was going to happen would be if I had roommates or lived in a stranger’s basement.”

So Bolton opted to pay a higher rent in order to live on her own in close proximity to the Metro (a must, because she doesn’t have a car).

“There’s a huge crunch right now for apartments,” says Bonnie Casper, a sales associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Bethesda (301-718-0010, Cbmove.com) and the president of the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors (Gcaar.com). When housing values took a nosedive in 2008, D.C.-area residents shied away from purchasing condos and townhouses. That “put pressure on the rental business and is keeping prices high,” Casper says.

$1,580 per unit and have increased by 1.9 percent over the past year.

Many first-time renters set out looking for a spacious, updated, one-bedroom apartment in the heart of a happening ’hood.

But the rent prices they encounter may make them reassess their priorities. “Once reality hits, renters are much more willing to compromise,” Casper says.

Where they make those compromises becomes the question.

First-time renters may have dreams of a Dupont Circle address, but it’s important to keep an open mind when it comes to location.

Look beyond Penn Quarter, Adams Morgan and Clarendon to such places as NoMa, Brookland and South Arlington.

Bolton went with a studio in Crystal City, not normally a hot spot for the fresh-out-of-college set.

“I liked the fact that it was very cosmopolitan, but in the evening it wasn’t as loud,” she says. “It still has good restaurants and a lot of green space.”

If you’re just dying to live in a trendy neighborhood, you’ll get more for your money by sharing your space.

“The most impactful way of reducing the price of rent is to consider a roommate,” says Rich Lauletta, chief marketing officer of

“I came upon the realization that there’s always going to be a trade-off, whether that’s price, location or amenities.”

To Rent or to Buy? A new report shows that buying makes better sense financially than renting in the Washington area as long as you plan to stay in the home an average of 3.5 years.

Zillow analyzed the break-even point for 212 cities in the Washington metro area to determine how long you need to stay in a home for buying to become more financially advantageous than renting.

The real estate company looked beyond the usual price-to-rent ratio and included costs associated with buying, such as down payment, mortgage versus rental payments, transaction costs, property taxes, utilities, maintenance costs and tax deductions.

In the Washington metro area, the amount of time varies depending on where you live.

apartment-finder service the DC Apartment Company (202-6009500, Dcapartmentco.com). “Not everyone realizes that a two-bedroom is not twice as much as a onebedroom.”

Benjamin Matek, a 22-yearold American University grad, recently snagged a two-bedroom Adams Morgan apartment with his roommate.

“If you want to live within the D.C. limits, and you’re not starting out with a salary of $80,000 a year, it’s definitely better to have a roommate,” says Matek, who interns at the Carbon War Room, a D.C.-based nonprofit that works with entrepreneurs to find market-driven solutions to climate change.

Another easy way to shave money off your rent is to look for an older or not-so-tricked-out building. As nice as it is to have a pool in the summer, it may be nicer to have the extra money you can save without fancy amenities.

When renters find something that meets their criteria, they need to act fast. “We walked in with our application already filled out,” Matek says. “If you see something that you like, you have jump that day or you will probably miss out on it to someone else.”

And if they don’t get that balcony they wanted or are living a mile from a Metro station, apartment amateurs can take comfort in the fact that they won’t be living in their first place forever.

“Hopefully later in life I can get those kinds of things,” Matek says. “But for now, I was just happy to get something really basic.”

A homeowner in the District would break even after 4.5 years.

A homeowner in Forest Heights in Prince George’s County would break even after just 1.3 years, while a homeowner in Chevy Chase Village in Montgomery County wouldn’t break even until 9.5 years.

In Manassas, the magic number was 2.9 years, while a homeowner in McLean would have to wait 7.6 years.

For the country as a whole, it made sense to buy if you planned to stay in a home at least three years.

“Across most of the country, historic levels of affordability make buying a home a better decision than ever, especially considering rents have risen more than 5 percent over the past year,” said Stan Humphries, Zillow chief economist.

world around us. I’m doing a whole bathing suit series because it’s summer and we’re all sitting around in our bathing suits and I’m thinking, “How did this thing that I’m putting on evolve? What did it used to look like? Oh my gosh, people used to wear wool bathing suits and, what? They used to weigh 9 pounds?” It’s bringing attention to things that we overlook.

Emily Spivack SMITHSONIAN FASHION BLOGGER, VINTAGE FAN On Threaded, the Smithsonian Institution’s nascent-yet-fascinating fashion blog, editor Emily Spivack unearths “You don’t say!” facts about some of the collection’s most notable clothing and costume artifacts (Blogs.smithsonianmag .com/threaded). Unlike some fashion bloggers who tease you with trendy ensembles far out of your price range, the New York-based vintage-hound takes an anthropological approach to apparel and examines how the fashions of yore influence how we get dressed today.

Where did the idea for Threaded come from?

We have to wear clothing every day, and the blog is about examining it from a cultural and historical perspective. I’m drawn to see-

ing our history through the lens of clothing.

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned about the Smithsonian’s collection so far?

During my research on Mr. Rogers’ sweater, I learned that every single cardigan he wore on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was hand-knit by his mother. What an incredible fact! I love that the Smithsonian has the inaugural dresses, but I also love that they have this pop culture object we are so familiar with and have so many incredible memories associated with.

Is there a trend you’re happy to see go?

I’m not really looking at trends.

I’m trying to tie it into things that are relevant and happening in the

When did your love of clothing develop?

Ever since a friend took me into a Salvation Army when I was 13 or 14. There were all of these one-ofa-kind pieces as opposed to going to a department store and seeing a million of the same thing. I had kind of crazy style, but I had this interest in clothing more so than traditional fashion.

What other series are in the works?

One of the things I’m working on right now are public packing lists of famous people. The garments and accessories they consider essentials.

What are the things well-known people can’t live without?

What is your favorite article of clothing that you own?

I still have a T-shirt from the first concert I went to. Embarrassingly, it was Milli Vanilli. I hold onto things that have meaning to them.

They’re not fancy garments. But at the end of the day, those are the things that are most loved and we have the strongest attachment to.

Wristy Business AN ARMFUL OF bangles is great for teenage bloggers or gypsy fortune tellers. But Lou Lou’s new beaded cuff (shown, $25, multiple local locations, see Loulouboutiques.com) packs a punch solo. It comes in several Art Deco-meets-disco color combos (blues/greens, oranges/reds), so you could layer the bauble, too.

Manolo says, the Manolo gives the same advice to the tall girls that he gives to the girls of all sizes and shapes: never slouch, always stand erect, throw back the shoulders and stride purposefully into any room.

Few things are more appealing than good posture and self-confidence, and the tall girl who carries herself well is nigh unto the force of the nature. And to the mind of the Manolo, the phrase “carrying oneself well” means being unafraid to wear the high heels.

What a Wonderful Curl YOU KNOW WHAT GOES with that glam vintage frock of yours? Soft Old Hollywood curls. Amika’s ceramic 4-Part Interchangeable Barrel Curler ($175, Sephora .com) lets you control the size of the ringlets. And unlike traditional irons, the multitasker heats up in 10 seconds and doesn’t clamp down over hair, meaning you’ll resemble Greta Garbo, not the Bride of Frankenstein.

Do not let your fears of being seen as freakishly taller than your man prevent you from exercising one of the privileges of womanhood: wearing beautiful shoes.

The shorter man who is secure in himself is not bothered by your height; indeed, in most cases it is part of what attracted him to you, and the wider public cares little about such matters and will be more impressed by your carriage and style.

If you still prefer the flats, here is the Angelina, the pointed-toe flat in the leopard finish from Ivanka Trump, who is the famously tall girl (5’11”) with the super-abundance of self-confidence and style ($150, Zappos.com).

This is the sort of bold shoe that imparts positive qualities to its wearer.

Beyond Pizza and Pretzels M^Wj iehj e\ \eeZ ]e[i m_j^ X[[h5 Lots of pros say anything. “If it tastes good to you, then go for it,” advises Beeradvocate.com, managed by the publishers of Beer Advocate magazine.

Still, here’s a foolproof guideline: “The complexity of your beer should match the complexity of your food,” says Kyle Griffin, a brewer at Capitol City Brewing Company’s Shirlington headquarters. So, if you’re eating a lighter meat such as chicken, open a lighter ale; more full-bodied and spicy foods go well with bolder beers such as IPAs, Griffin says.

ChurchKey’s Greg Engert takes that logic a step further. He’s devised a list of characteristics that define certain types of beers — such as “crisp,” “smoke,” “fruit & spice” and “tart & funky” — and then likes to mix and match the flavors with cuisine. “You determine the intensity [of the food], and then think about how to pair it,” Engert says. “You can harmonize and match flavors,” or do the opposite and opt for contrasting tastes.

Some foods are naturals, though, such as cheese. Carolyn Stromberg — who holds beer and cheese tastings through the Cheese Course at Seasonal Pantry (1314 9th St. NW; Cheese-course.com) — favors Port City Porter paired with Comté, a French cow’s milk cheese. It’s a combo she says emphasizes the fromage’s nuttiness and the brew’s chocolate-y flavor.

Tim Prendergast, the assistant beer director at Meridian Pint (3400 11th St. NW; 202-588-1075; Meridianpint.com) even likes suds with sweets, as in brownies with a raspberry fruit beer or an apple tart with an Imperial stout.

“If nothing else, the greatest thing about food and beer pairings for me … is that it narrows down the choices,” Engert says. With 1,940 craft breweries that were in business for all or part of 2011, according to the Brewers Association (Brewersassociation.org), that’s no small feat.

The Pour Decision Always quaff craft beer from a glass.

(Yes, that bottle has a Hipstamatic-worthy label, but it’s just a container for storing and transporting brews.)

Glasses help you appreciate the aroma as you drink — and about 99 percent of beer’s flavor lies in its smell, ChurchKey’s Greg Engert says. “Aroma is where you parse the nuances, where something goes from tasting sweet to tasting mildly sweet but fruity and toasty and nutty,” he says.

“So if you drink something from a can or bottle, you’re robbing your nose of its duty to aromatically investigate the beer.”

And don’t use just any gulping vessel, either. (We’re looking at you, pint glass.)

“You have the $50 steak, the $100 wine, and just because I like beer, I’m supposed to drink out of a bucket?” says Matt Rutkowski, vice president of beer glass producer Spiegelau USA. “If you’re being served in a thick, chunky glass of any kind, ask them for a wine glass.” Pint glasses “are the worst thing you could put beer

into,” Rutkowski says, because they’re not designed to keep the beer cool, nor at its most flavorful. The thicker the glass, the more quickly it will make the beer warm up, destroying its aromas and making it flatter.

DC Brau’s Jeff Hancock recommends using a thin tulip glass (not too different in shape from a standard wine glass) as a one-size-fits-all vessel for tasting. He even has detailed tasting instructions: “I wouldn’t fill the glass all the way up — only halfway up the bulb. You’ll get nice aromatics. Give it a good sniff, a good swirl around, take in the aroma, then taking in a bit, maybe a tablespoon’s worth, on your palate, swish it around your tongue,” and then swallow. That technique will give you a good sense of the flavor of the beer, forcing you to take your time to think about how it tastes.

To take tastes to the next level, use a glass that’s designed for the specific beverage you’re drinking (see below):

Tulip

Lager

Pilsner

Wheat

These curved beauties force smaller sips of strong, dark beers and focus the aroma near the rim. A flared lip helps bring beer to the tip of the tongue, where you taste sweetness.

Shaped like a traditional pint glass but thinner, this vessel will better showcase beer’s color and help balance hop smells.

A tall, narrow glass keeps the beer at its proper temperature and channels the hops’ bitterness and bouquet straight to your nose.

A tall glass that curves in slightly helps you catch the fruity notes of these lighter beers; the wide opening encourages froth and makes it easy to drink big gulps.

Norman and Alvin cower at the sight of zombies in the stopmotion animation film “ParaNorman.”

LAIKA INC.

Norman vs. Evil

IYWh_d] Kf BWk]^j[h The animated feature ‘ParaNorman’ finds the humor in horror <_bc H[l_[m “I see dead people.” Thirteen years have passed since Haley Joel Osment whispered his confession to Bruce Willis in “The Sixth Sense.”

But what if the supernatural premise behind M. Night Shyamalan’s ghostly thriller inspired laughs instead of scares?

Then you’d have “ParaNorman,” a colorfully macabre stop-motion animation comedy that embraces the sociopolitical allegories of George Romero’s zombie pictures and reworks them into a featurelength episode of “Scooby-Doo.” “ParaNorman” creeps and crawls out of the mind of writer/co-director Chris Butler, a storyboard artist who honed his skills on “Corpse

Bride” and “Coraline.” Here, he’s come up with a spooky, creatureinfested campfire story laced with valuable lessons about teamwork, responsibility, courage and the celebration of our inner outcast.

That last trait is personified

by Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a quiet and unassuming middleschooler who happens to be able to converse with the dead. On his daily walk to school, Norman interacts with long-dead gangsters, a parachuted pilot hanging in a tree and roadkill. These restless spirits are kinder to Norman than the school bullies — led by the pea-brained Alvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) — who ostracize our hero.

FWhWDehcWd F= Directors: Chris Butler, Sam Fell Stars: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Anna Kendrick and Christopher Mintz-Plasse In a Nutshell: A misunderstood boy who can speak with the dead takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse.

For Fans of: “Coraline,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas”

Ed ^_i ZW_bo mWba je iY^eeb" DehcWd _dj[hWYji m_j^ bed]#Z[WZ ]Wd]ij[hi" W fWhWY^kj[Z f_bej ^Wd]_d] _d W jh[[ WdZ heWZa_bb$

We soon learn of a centuriesold curse cast by a disgruntled witch against the heretics in Norman’s town. For years, the witch’s spell had been kept at bay by Norman’s crazy uncle (John Goodman).

But when he passes away, it’s up to Norman, his perturbed older sister (Anna Kendrick) and his mild-mannered best friend (Tucker Albrizzi) to quell a zombie uprising.

The film comes to life once the dead rise, which may make it too scary for the younger set.

“ParaNorman,” in fact, belongs on the short list of animated fables that aim most of their messages at grown-ups. Adults will nod, solemnly, during a scene near the end where the zombies lurch through Norman’s town, absorb examples of our society’s pop culture and cower in fear. Because in “ParaNorman,” the real monsters often look an awful lot like us. SEAN O’CONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST )

7bie Ef[d_d]0 Capping off summer with explosive action, “The Expendables 2” (R) offers the send-off that

adrenaline junkies are seeking before fall’s more sedate releases. As he proved with the original, Sylvester Stallone grasps the action-oriented DNA of the films’ badass cast of reprobate mercenaries (including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Dolph Lundgren) with an intuition derived from dozens of genre roles. (THE HOLLY WOOD REPORTER /AP)

“ParaNorman,” about a kid who can talk to dead people, is different from a lot of horror movies. First, it’s animated. Second, it’s targeted toward kids. But the fundamental difference is that, while most modern horror films are about fear, “ParaNorman” is about evil.

Whereas oldschool horror films use scares as a way of examining moral questions (“Frankenstein” isn’t just about a monster), 8o Ah_ij[d it seems that most FW][#A_hXo modern horror films are just out to scare the pants off of their audiences. “ParaNorman,” which opens today, is scary in a deeper way, because the evil that Norman finds is much more difficult to conquer. I’m not going to go into specifics, but zombies are the least of his worries.

Both fear and evil can be beaten.

Usually we defeat fear by making whatever is scaring us go away — we squish the spider or turn on the lights to prove once again that there is no one coming into the house to murder us.

Evil, as Norman finds out, is trickier.

You can pretend it’s not there. You can even contain it briefly, through violence or laws. But that evil you’re up against doesn’t consider itself evil; every evil thing thinks it’s doing right.

Evil doesn’t go away until you find what’s at the bottom of it, until you figure out what’s preventing evil from being good.

A sudsy, eye-catching bauble that should have been a pop-infused piece of escapism but instead turned into an unwitting elegy, “Sparkle” arrives freighted with more than its share of expectations. A remake of the beloved 1976 musical starring Irene Cara, the updated version will now forever be known as the final screen appearance of Whitney Houston, who died in February.

While “Sparkle” doesn’t give the audience a lasting memory of Houston’s voice at its most soaring, it does manage to provide a lingering sense of loss, mixed with celebration and grim irony.

Here, Houston plays the disapproving mother of a daughter who longs to make it big as a singer; in a role that plays like a cautionary mirror version of Houston’s own fatal battles, she warns against the depredations of an industry that indulges and exploits young talent just as intently as it nurtures it.

‘2 Days in New York’ picks up where ‘Paris’ left off, but not well <_bc H[l_[m Beginning with 1995’s “Before Sunrise,” French actress Julie Delpy has built her career making movies about ill-fated romances.

We last left Delpy as New Yorkbased French photographer Marion in the 2007 “2 Days in Paris,” in which she takes boyfriend Jack (Adam Goldberg) on a disastrous trip to France to meet her family.

You know your boyfriend is a keeper when he helps you blow your nose.

Take “2 Days in Paris,” swap Goldberg for Chris Rock, corral the whole clan in New York and you’ve got the formula for “2 Days in New

York,” a manic and funny, if ultimately frustrating, sequel.

Marion lives with her new boyfriend, talk show host Mingus (Chris Rock), Mingus’ daughter and Marion’s son from her relationship with Jack of the previous film.

When Marion’s mother passes away, her boisterous father (played

by Delpy’s real-life father, Albert Delpy), nymphomaniacal sister Rose (Alexia Landeau) and flagrantly racist former-flame-turned-sister’sboyfriend Manu (Alexandre Nahon) decide to pay Marion a visit.

The family invades Marion’s and Mingus’ snug apartment with a ven-

a nightclub where Sparkle has persuaded Sister to sing.

In the course of Sister’s vamping, bombshell debut, she and Sparkle attract the attention of a manager who will persuade them to try for the big time. Fans familiar with the original — or any number of backstage showbiz morality tales — know that plenty of hardship must ensue before the glitzy triumph.

But in between the obstacles, “Sparkle” traffics in the same gorgeous Motown style — sonic and visual — that made the original film such delectable fun.

“Sparkle” may have begun as just a tuneful, diverting nostalgia trip, but it turns out to be a surprisingly poignant swan song.

ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST )

( :Woi _d D[m Oeha H Director: Julie Delpy Stars: Julie Delpy, Chris Rock In a Nutshell: Marion and Mingus find their comfortable family dynamic jostled by a visit from Marion’s relatives.

geance, swiftly pushing Marion and the straight-laced Mingus to the outer limits of their own sanity.

As a rollicking tour through New York with a set of nightmarish French in-laws, “2 Days in New York” supplies enough laughs to make it pleasantly diverting. But the film never attains the level of sophistication of its predecessor.

FbWo_d] THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (PG-13, 138 minutes) “The Amazing Spider-Man” has been billed as a reboot of the SpiderMan franchise. The not-so-great news is that by “reboot,” the studio means taking audiences once again through every step of Peter’s transformation, including the fateful mutant spider bite, an equally pivotal incident involving his beloved uncle and those first wob-

bly forays discovering his superhuman powers. The result is that, for its first hour, it subjects viewers to an origin story they may already know. Thankfully, things pick up considerably once Peter dons the famous skintight suit. A.H. THE BOURNE LEGACY (PG-13, 135 minutes) “The Bourne Legacy” looks bad on paper. The fourth installment of the hugely successful franchise starring Matt Damon as the memory-depleted assassin Jason Bourne does not star Damon, doesn’t even feature his character and does not arrive by way of director Paul Greengrass.

“The Bourne Legacy” gets a boost of new adrenaline from Rachel Weisz, left, and new star Jeremy Renner, right.

good on screen, precisely because it’s so good on paper. Written and directed

by Tony Gilroy, who penned all three Jason Bourne movies, “The Bourne Legacy” achieves its first order of business with intelligence and imaginative dexterity, building on the preexisting story. For the most part, “The Bourne Legacy” takes place in an impressively recognizable world, where science, hands-free geopolitics and the modern security state intersect to create human warriors who behave like the human equivalent of drones. It’s that world and its ruthless thought-leaders that Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) must navigate

— with his memory intact, but driven by just as dramatic an inner need. A.H. T HE CA MPA IGN ( R, 85 minute s) The excesses of partisan sniping, negative campaigning and pandering skullduggery are the comic equivalent of fish in a barrel, and every last minnow gets picked off in “The Campaign,” in which Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis play North Carolina candidates going head-to-head in a farcically conniving congressional election.

If only because of the actors involved, “The Campaign” has its share of laughs.

sweatshop-owning brothers who try to rig the election by infusing a Super PAC with scads of money. But with the exception of that timely echo — and Ferrell’s flawless John Edwards impersonation

as a handsome, compulsively promiscuous Democratic politician — genuinely scathing satire is largely missing.

“The Campaign” missed a chance to be swifter, smarter and more stinging. A.H. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (PG-13, 164 minutes) Christopher Nolan has made a completely satisfying movie, one steeped enough in self-contained mythology to reward hard-core fans while

giving less invested viewers a rousing, adroitly executed piece of popcorn entertainment.

Bane makes almost immediately for Gotham City, where Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has been living in wounded seclusion for the past eight years, since he took

Greg and his best friend, Rowley (Robert Capron), are ready for eighth grade, but not before they fill their summer vacation with video-game marathons, pool parties at the neighborhood country club and — if Greg’s lucky — some one-on-one time with his schoolgirl crush. “Dog Days” rare-

[dj[hjW_dc[dj beeaekj ly strays from its core mission of imparting valuable life lessons as it reenacts the perils of pre-pubescence. SEAN O’CONNELL I C E A G E : C O N T I N E N TA L D R I F T (PG, 87 minutes) The fourth “Ice Age” freshens up the 10-year-old franchise by shunning easy pop-culture jokes and embracing its weird side. Previous “Ice Age” installments drew inspiration from our planet’s climate changes, and “Continental Drift” is no different. Here, fissures caused by volcanic fault lines separate franchise regulars Sid, Diego and Manny from the latter’s family — wife, Ellie, and teenage daughter, Peaches.

Efforts to reunite at a sinking land bridge force Manny and crew to battle a menacing ape who rules the Seven Seas from his pirate-ship-shaped iceberg. S.O. KILLER JOE (NC-17, 102 minutes) This misadventure begins when dumb but decisive Chris Smith finds himself in debt to an impatient drug dealer. His solution is to kill his mother for the insurance money, which he expects will be paid to his malleable younger sister. Chris enlists Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), an icygrinned Dallas cop with a sideline gig in assassination. Bringing Joe into the scheme is Chris’ second big mistake, but it’s to the movie’s benefit. McConaughey turns the oily charm of his “Magic Mike” character utterly rancid, yet his performance seduces as much as it repels. MARK JENKINS MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED (PG, 93 minutes) The third outing in the popular series of animated adventures about Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo may be the best of the bunch.

To escape from Monaco — where our heroes have traveled from Africa searching for the airplane they hope will take them home — an order is given to shake the Monte Carlo animal control officer who is determined to stop them from leaving. A parade of laughs? That, you expect. What’s really surprising about “Madagascar 3” is just how moving it ultimately is, largely because of the emotionally engaging character animation. M.O. STEP UP REVOLUTION (PG-13, 97 minutes) Despite its title, audiences shouldn’t expect anything revolutionary from the fourth chapter in the “Step Up” franchise. Director Scott Speer transports audiences to Miami, where poor but virtuous dancers Sean (Ryan Guzman) and Eddy (Misha Gabriel) strategically plan flash mobs around South Beach’s stylish neighborhoods. They

Douglas Quaid resides on planet Earth circa 2084 and wants to be someone else.

That desire is what takes him to Rekall, a memory-adjustment business that’s New Age-ier in this version but just as capable of wreaking mega havoc.

dance to express themselves, but also to get their video clips on YouTube. S.O. TOTAL RECALL (PG-13, 118 minutes) Please erase from your minds the first “Total Recall.” Then watch the 2012 version which, like the original, is loosely based on the 1966 Philip K. Dick story about a guy in the not-too-distant future attempting to escape his ordinariness by injecting more exciting memories into his cerebrum.

THE #1 MOVIE IN AMERICA!

still reeling, some viewers might not find blithe shoot-em-ups in “The Watch” as much fun as they might have a few weeks ago. Then again, the premise of the movie is so goofy, the performances so winningly wacky, that a willing — indeed, eager — suspension of disbelief has rarely been easier. As “The Watch” opens, Evan (Ben Stiller) explains in a voice-over why he’s so happy in the suburban idyll of Glenview,

Ohio, where he manages a nearby Costco and pursues a devotion on civic engagement that borders on the obsessive. When one of his night watchmen is gruesomely killed on the job, Evan immediately organizes a group to prevent further attacks. A.H.

Political Posturing In election years, everyone in every Washington bar starts jabbering about the what-ifs of presidential politics. That’s where “Wag the Dog” comes in; the 1997 film tells the story of a president felled by scandal whose strategists have to manufacture a national distraction to save their boss’ campaign. Gateway Park, 1300 Lee Hwy., Arlington; Fri., movie starts at sunset, free; Rosslynva.org. (Rosslyn)

Claws Out

Rorschach Theatre, one of D.C.’s great small companies that now only surfaces occasionally to do something cool and then disappears again, is back with “A Maze,” an intense, experimental play about a girl trying to make a new place for herself and a graphic novelist trying to write an incredibly long comic book that involves mazes. Atlas Arts Center, 1333 H St. NE; through Sept. 9, $15-$25; Atlasarts.org.

We’re not sure why we have to say farewell to soft shell crab, but BLT Steak is so convinced of this that it’s hosting a Farewell to Soft Shells event, with a weeklong special menu focusing on the tasty crustaceans. That we can get behind. To kick off the week, the restaurant hosts a cooking class followed by a four-course crab-themed meal.

BLT Steak, 1625 I St. NW; Sat., 12:30 p.m., $100; Bltsteak.com.

Tom Weston-Jones stars as New York police officer Kevin Corcoran in “Copper.”

many New Yorkers were anti-Lincoln “Copperhead” Democrats and that the city had been rocked by the Irish anti-draft riots of 1863, the year before “Copper” begins.

Corcoran’s associates and his work as a cop allow “Copper” to explore the social strata of New York City at the dawn of its Gilded Age. We move quickly from the grim Irish ghetto to the posh mansions of the city’s aristocrats. While

the aristocrats publicly support the uplift of the poor, particularly the “colored,” they are not above slumming, buying and selling poor women as playthings.

“Copper” is richly textured and exciting to watch. It’s a boisterous, if violent, reminder that history was made by men and women of passions and complex motivations not unlike our own.

place in the last year of the Civil War, a time when Union victory and Abraham Lincoln’s re-election were hardly certain.

Tom Weston-Jones stars as Kevin Corcoran, an Irish immigrant police officer from the squalid Five Points slum of New York, who rose to hero status in the Union Army only to return home to find his wife missing and his daughter murdered. These two mysteries provide underlying motivations for the brooding Corcoran.

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.
