Joshua Barbot rescues Trumbaturi family members from their flooded home Thursday in Slidell, La., after roads flooded.

ROGELIO V. SOLIS/AP

Isaac hovered over Louisiana for a third day Thursday, shedding more than a foot of additional rain that forced authorities to hurriedly evacuate areas ahead of the storm and rescue hundreds of people who could not escape as the rapidly rising waters swallowed entire neighborhoods.

The huge spiral weather system weakened to a tropical depression as it crawled inland, but it caught many places off guard by following a meandering, unpredictable path. The storm’s excruciatingly slow movement meant that Isaac practically parked over low-lying towns and threw off great sheets of water for hours.

“I was blindsided,” said Richard Musatchia, who fled his waterfilled home in LaPlace, northwest of New Orleans. “Nobody expected this.”

Inside the fortified levees that protected New Orleans, bursts of sunshine streamed through the thick clouds, and life began to return to normal. But beyond the city, people got their first good look at Isaac’s damage: Hundreds of

homes were underwater. Half the state was without power. Thousands were staying at shelters.

And the damage may not be done. Isaac dumped as much as 16 inches in some areas, and about 500 people had to be rescued by boat or high-water vehicles. At least two deaths were reported.

In Mississippi, several coastal communities struggled with all the extra water, including Pascagoula, where a large portion of the city flooded and water blocked down-

Federal Court Rejects Texas Voter ID Law Judges: Document costs would fall on poor minorities MWi^_d]jed A federal court on Thursday blocked a controversial new voter ID law in Texas, ruling that the state failed to show that the law would not harm the voting rights of minorities.

The three-judge panel in the historic case said that evidence

?d 8h_[\

also showed that costs of obtaining a voter ID would fall most heavily on poor African-Americans and Hispanics in Texas.

Evidence submitted by Texas to prove that its law did not discriminate was “unpersuasive, invalid, or both,” wrote David. S. Tatel, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

The ruling will likely have political implications in the coming elections. Republicans and Democrats have been arguing over whether

8WYaijeho Texas is the largest state covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires federal approval or “preclearance” of any voting changes in states that have a history of discrimination. Because of Texas’s discrimination history, the voter ID law signed last year by its Republican governor, Rick Perry, had to be cleared by the Justice Department. (T WP)

increasingly tough voter ID laws discriminate against African-Americans and Hispanics.

Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott said that the state will appeal Thursday’s ruling to the Supreme Court.

“Today’s decision … improperly prevents Texas from implementing the same type of ballot integrity safeguards that are employed by Georgia and Indiana,” Abbott said. DEL QUENTIN WILBER AND SARI HORWITZ (THE WASHINGTON POST )

visit to Iran by an Egyptian leader since the 1979 Islamic Revolution — were another blindside blow for Iran as host of a gathering of so-called nonaligned nations. His speech prompted Syria’s delegation to walk out of the gathering.

Iran’s leaders have claimed the weeklong meeting, which ends Friday, displayed the futility of Western attempts to isolate the country over its nuclear program.

It’s unlikely that Iran would abandon Assad as long as there is a chance for him — or his regime — to hang on. Iran counts on Syria as a strategic outlet to the Mediterranean and a conduit to its anti-Israeli proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon.

But the meeting highlighted how much Iran is out of step with the rest of the region over Syria.

About 270 miners were charged Thursday with the murders of 34 striking colleagues who were shot

by South African police officers, authorities said, a development that could further infuriate South Africans already shocked and angered by the police action.

The decision to charge the miners comes under an arcane RomanDutch common purpose law, and it suggests President Jacob Zuma’s government wants to shift blame for the killings from police to the striking miners.

Firebrand politician Julius Malema, who has seized on the shootings to score political points, told supporters of miners outside the courthouse that the charges were “madness.”

Haiti Enlists Help to End Poverty Program trains locals to guide families toward a better life 8ekYWd 9Whh[" >W_j_ The people who live in this part of Haiti’s Central Plateau need more of pretty much everything that makes life safe, comfortable and predictable.

Three-quarters of families do not have enough food, and twothirds lack access to clean water.

One in four children is unvaccinated, and half are underweight. And about 80 percent of houses do not have latrines, according to a survey

of 5,200 families in the commune, or county, of Boucan Carre.

Is it realistic for people to make headway against so many problems on their own? Centuries of poverty would suggest the answer is no.

Would a personal assistant help? An experiment here may answer that.

Half of the commune’s 10,000 households are being assigned a “household development agent” — a neighbor who is trained to work as a health educator, vaccinator, financial analyst, social worker, scheduler and advocate. With the agent’s help, a family will create a plan to make things better.

The other 5,000 households will

J^[ Fhe`[Yj The Kore Fanmi project is a $4 million joint effort among Haiti’s Health Ministry, charities and the World Bank. The “household development agents” earn a base salary of $177 a month and are assigned about 100 families. Lessons in the agents’ training covered how to give an injection, ways to purify water and how to get a micro-finance loan, among many other things. (T WP)

function as a control group, living as they have in one of Haiti’s poorest and most isolated places.

If families with agents are doing

better in two years, then the strategy of coaching people out of poverty may be expanded.

Adrienne Noel, a Health Ministry nurse, emphasized that the project — called Kore Fanmi, or “family support” in Creole — is not a giveaway program. There have been many of those in Haiti, especially since the January 2010 earthquake.

“It is important to have the family contribute,” Noel said. “If they get help building a latrine, the family can at least dig the hole or carry the materials. It is important not to promise things, because people would then expect you to do things for them.” DAV ID BROW N (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Every Metro rider has taken one of those miracle trips that never should have worked out. There’s a 15-minute gap between trains, but you somehow manage to arrive just as one is rumbling into the station, then you dash down the escalator, lunge through the doors and marvel at your good fortune all the way to your destination.

“Kristina is so pleasant and

greets me each morning with a big smile and an Express paper. It’s great to see our youth working and taking the job seriously. ”

Typically, in this scenario, you pause to glance at the faregate, momentarily terrified that you’ve neglected to add money to your SmarTrip card — and then sigh with relief when you see you still have 10 cents on there.

Those days are over.

Starting Saturday, SmarTrip users must have a minimum of $1.20 on their cards to get anywhere. It’s a reasonable switch: Paper farecard users (who already get penalized a buck per ride)

need a minimum balance, and in exchange for the hassle, Metro is giving folks a $3 rebate when they register a new SmarTrip card.

Still, people have been dreading what the change will mean for their routine. “I always go negative,” 23-year-old Rachel Gottke of McLean said Wednesday at the Foggy Bottom station. She vowed to pay more attention to her balance.

Riders would probably be less annoyed if Metro had timed this

change to coincide with one planned for late September. With a new autoload feature, SmarTrip users will be able to have their credit cards charged automatically when they reach a certain minimum balance.

That’s something everyone seems to be eager to see. “The easier, the better,” said Ray Miller, 57, of Foggy Bottom.

While we wait, we’re being bombarded by WMATA’s new ad campaign for SmarTrip emphasizing just how clever the card is, especially now that it can hold daily, week ly and mont hly passes.

But riders are envisioning ways to make SmarTrip even more intelligent.

“For people who don’t check their balance like me, it’d be nice to get a text alert that it’s dropped below a certain amount,” Miller said. He’s right.

K isha na W i l l ia mson, 2 4, who lives in Col lege Pa rk but grew up riding the subway in New York, would like to see the card work like the ones back home. “I wish I could swipe one time and not have to worry about it,” she said.

Twenty-year-old Alex Kemp of Dupont would prefer a SmarTrip that acted like an all-purpose debit card he could use for other purchases around town.

And Manuel Mijango of Alexandria would settle for the card just remembering the user name and password he set about five years ago. The 31-year-old can’t retrieve his info or take advantage of any online services.

He’d like to give Metro his opinion on several other topics, but Mijango is planning on keeping his two cents. He needs them — and $1.18 more — to get home.

9^Whbejj[il_bb[" LW$ Former University of Virginia student George Huguely V was sentenced to 23 years in prison Thursday in the 2010 murder of his ex-girlfriend and fellow student Yeardley Love.

In February, a Charlottesville jury convicted Huguely of seconddegree murder in Love’s death during an argument at her off-campus apartment. The jury also found Huguely guilty of stealing Love’s

computer as he left.

The sentencing brings an end to a criminal case that has captured national attention. Both Love and Huguely were accomplished lacrosse players at a prominent university. Both were on the verge of graduation.

Huguely’s defense team had urged Judge Edward L. Hogshire to sentence Huguely to 14 years, which would be at the low end of state sentencing guidelines, instead of the 26 years recommended by the jury. In Virginia, a judge can reduce a jury’s recommendation but not increase it.

The federal government is relocating 450 Treasury Department jobs from Hyattsville to Parkersburg, W.Va., a shift that is drawing the ire of officials in Prince George’s County. The move, intended to consolidate some Treasury operations, would begin in 2013 and is expected to take up to three years.

It was a defensive alliance between the United States and France against Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War. The French would provide the newly formed United States with supplies, guns and ammunition. (AP)

Huguely admitted that, after a day of drinking, he had kicked through Love’s bedroom door after she refused to talk with him about their recent breakup. Huguely demonstrated to police how he had shaken Love, and described how he wrestled Love to the ground before pushing her back onto her bed. He said that he left her bleeding but alive and that he took her computer on the way out.

Love, 22, died of blunt-force trauma to her head, a medical examiner ruled. Love was from Cockeysville, a Baltimore suburb, and, like Huguely, was a senior and a varsity lacrosse player. MARY PAT

Preparations for the next presidential inauguration get under way next month at the U.S. Capitol, when officials plan to close off access to some entrances.

Beginning Sept. 10, access to the lower terrace of the West Front of the U.S. Capitol will be closed for construction of the 2013 presidential inaugural stands, requiring lawmakers, staff and visitors to use side entrances to the building.

The presidential inauguration is scheduled for Jan. 21, one day later than normal because Jan. 20, 2013, is a Sunday. ED O’K EEFE (THE WASHINGTON POST )

After flopping in his first season at UMd., Edsall starts over

Randy Edsall clashed with QB Danny O’Brien last year, leading to O’Brien’s transfer. Edsall will rely on freshmen this season.

Saturday | ESPN3

“I want all of our players to have a chip on their shoulder, because I do,” Edsall said. “You hope that your players reflect your desire, attitude and determination.”

There are still new things to watch for — yet more new uniforms, a new turf field, a new offensive coordinator and a new defensive coordinator, and a new starting quarterback. The latter was made necessary after quarterback Danny O’Brien transferred to Wisconsin and his successor, C.J. Brown, sustained a season-ending knee injury during training camp.

It all adds up to another season of transition for the Terrapins. True freshman Perry Hills will start at quarterback in coordinator Mike Locksley’s offense.

On defense, new coordinator Brian Stewart will begin the season without linebacker Kenny

Tate, defensive end Keith Bowers and defensive backs A.J. Hendy and Matt Robinson, due to various ailments.

The injuries have been a setback, Edsall admitted, but after taking loads of criticism in his first season, he insists his system will

take hold this year.

“I want our guys to understand that this is a whole new year,” he said. “Things have transpired from an academic standpoint, to our field, to the uniforms and the young men who are here. Everything that I have envisioned when I came here

is coming together.”

Much of the optimism surrounding the program is focused on the long term, built on successful recruiting and buoyed by the return of Locksley, who helped build a class heavy on young local talent.

As many as 10 true freshmen could play in the opener, highlighted by Hills and five-star wide receiver/ kick returner Stephon Diggs.

In the short term, Edsall has turned the focus to his seniors. Before training camp opened, he gathered them for a meeting and told them what he expected of them.

“If we want to go to the ACC Championship, it’s going to be up to us seniors to lead the younger guys in that direction,” senior receiver Kevin Dorsey said. “If we are all pushing for the same mindset and goal, then the end result at the end of the season is going to be pretty great.” DER EK T UR NER (FOR E XPRESS)

When the Nationals began to win some actual games this season, at times it seemed as if the ushers in the aisles at Nationals Park were wiping five years’ worth of dust from the seats before inviting fans to sit.

The stadium, opened in 2007, has come alive this year, and the 11-game homestand that opened on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals will include pennant-race baseball for the first time in many decades in the District.

A victory in Miami on Wednesday snapped a five-game losing streak for the Nationals and sent them home with a five-game lead over the Braves in the National League East. Their postseason fate will be sealed largely on the basis of how they perform at home over the last full month of the season. Twenty of the team’s final 32 games will

be played at Nationals Park.

“Every team is going to go through a five-, 10-game stretch, even the best teams, where you don’t play so well, and that’s what we went through,” Ryan Zimmerman said. “Now we get to go home for a while.”

The Nationals entered the stretch with a 36-24 record at home, the best mark in the division. In September, the Nationals will host series against the Cardinals, Cubs,

Marlins, Dodgers and Brewers. The regular season ends on Oct. 3 after a three-game home series against the Phillies, whose invading fans the Nationals desperately sought to banish this season.

The Cardinals, the reigning World Series champions, arrived in the mix for one of two wild-card spots. The Nationals are in a more comfortable position, and after snapping their recent losing skid, players denied a sense of panic.

“Everybody that’s getting ahead of everything and saying we’re struggling right now, we’re just going through the skid and that happens,” Bryce Harper said. “I think everybody that’s trying to catch us, it’s harder for them.”

Andy Roddick announced on Thursday that the U.S. Open will be the last tournament of his career. The 2003 U.S. Open champion and former No. 1 announced his plans to retire at a news conference on his 30th birthday. The 20th-seeded Roddick is scheduled to play Bernard Tomic in the second round Friday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium. (AP)

C;C8;HI E< J>; 8H?J?I> J;7C" bottom, go for the ball as they play Russia in sitting volleyball in a preliminary

round match at the Paralympics on Thursday. Russia won three sets to none on the first day of competition at the Games.

Exhibit A of why the Nationals’ Davey Johnson is a lock for Manager of the Year: After Washington hit the skids for five games — a stretch that included a shouting match between Johnson and GM Mike Rizzo — the skipper called just his second team meeting of the season Wednesday.

Afterward, he made light of the powwow.

“I think I was watching all those speeches last 8o CWjj night on the Republican Im[died Convention and I said maybe I oughta give a speech,” he told reporters in Miami. Usually, he tries to avoid such dramatic measures — “That way you guys maybe think I’m doing my job,” he joked — and the results speak for themselves.

@e^died cWdW][i j^[ j[Wc$ >[ ][ji ^_i fbWo[hi WdZ ademi m^[d WdZ ^em je cej_lWj[ j^[c$ On Wednesday, the Nationals won 8-4 — snapping their five-game slump before heading home to play the St. Louis Cardinals. In the win, Bryce Harper — who’s been struggling more than any other National — had his first two-home-run game. Later, he got ejected for good measure.

Clearly, the kid was fired up, as were his teammates.

That’s the magic of Johnson.

Every skipper knows strategy or else they wouldn’t be in the position. But Johnson manages the team. He gets his players, and knows when and how to motivate them.

Do you think the Nats would be in first place if Jim Riggleman were the manager? Me neither.

Johnson is the not-so-secret weapon on this talented team.

Renters say it’s better safe than sorry when it comes to coverage Protections It took a fire in a nearby apartment building to convince Cecilia Garza that she needed renters insurance.

“I realized that I could lose everything,” she says.

That was about seven years ago, and she’s had a policy ever since. Last April, she was glad she did when another fire, this one in a neighboring unit, caused soot and smoke damage in her Gaithersburg, Md., apartment.

“It destroyed pretty much everything that had fabric — couches, curtains, clothes,” says Garza, 31, who now works in customer service at Allstate’s Silver Spring office. “All of the carpeting had to be replaced.”

Thanks to Garza’s renters insurance, she was covered and got a check in a few weeks to replace her damaged items. For Garza, an upfront investment of less than $200 a year in a renters insurance policy really paid off when she needed it.

As with any type of insurance, you could pay for renters insurance year after year and never need it. While some renters see it as a waste of money, those who end up needing it say they are grateful they had it.

According to a May survey by the New York–based Insurance Information Institute (Iii.org), only 31 percent of U.S. renters buy renters insurance.

“A lot of consumers are under the misconception that their landlord’s policy will provide coverage for them, and that’s not the case,” says Loretta Worters, the institute’s vice president of communications.

Your landlord’s insurance takes care of any structural damage to your apartment

Ready to get a renters insurance policy of your own? Here are some questions to ask and answer as you go through the process.

Farm in Bethesda (301-656-2600, Raymensahinsurance.com). “Any damage caused to the building would be your responsibility.”

Renters insurance also helps you pay for a place to stay if you are displaced from your apartment by something like a hurricane or major repair — up to a point.

Some policies place time limits on how long they’ll cover expenses of staying in a new place, such as six months or a year, while others put a cap on how much they’ll shell out.

How much should you expect to pay? A basic renters insurance policy — with $10,000

as the result of a fire or even some wild weather. It won’t, however, pay to replace your killer shoe collection or massive media center.

That’s where a renters insurance policy comes in.

Renters insurance doesn’t just take care of your stuff. It protects tenants from a few kinds of liability.

For example, if someone trips and falls in your apartment, leading to expensive medical bills or even a lawsuit, your policy would provide you with coverage.

It could also be a financial lifesaver. “Say you left the stove on and caused a fire,” says Raynold Mensah, an agent with State

in personal property coverage and $100,000 in liability coverage — costs about $120 a year through Allstate and State Farm. But even if you bump up both of those coverage levels, renters insurance should still run you less than $200 annually.

Certain amenities or apartment features can help bring that price down. Think of it this way: If it’s something that helps protect you or your stuff, make sure to let your insurance agent know about it.

“Any type of safety feature — a security alarm, sprinkler system, front desk in your building—can decrease the cost,” says Adria Brown, an agent with Allstate in Arlington (703- 558-8200,

Agents.allstate.com/adria-brown -arlington-va.html).

S o ho w do y ou go a b out choosing a policy? You can get renters insurance from almost any insurance provider. If you already have car insurance, start your shopping there, since companies often offer bundling discounts.

You’ll want to take a good look at what you actually own.

Both Allstate (Allstate.com) and State Farm (Statefarm.com), for example, offer online tools to help renters assess the value of their possessions. That figure determines the amount of personalproperty coverage they need.

A fresh-out-of-college renter w it h a lot of ha nd-me-dow n

How much stuff do I have? How much would it cost me to replace it?

Be realistic, and don’t underestimate the value of your possessions.

Do I have any expensive items such as an engagement ring or artwork? If so, you may want to obtain additional coverage to protect those items, which wouldn’t be covered by a standard renters insurance policy.

Do I have any valuable work equipment at home? Are clients coming in and out of my apartment?

If so, you may need a businessrelated policy in addition to your renters insurance.

What kind of assets do I have?

How do I want to protect them when it comes to liability coverage? If you’ve got a lot in the way of assets, you may want to consider a higher level of liability coverage to better protect them.

Does my apartment have any safety features, such as a sprinkler system or an alarm? If so, be sure to let your insurance agent know about them, since they can help bring down the cost of a renters insurance policy.

furniture might be fine with a policy that covers just $10,000 worth of stuff, but someone who frequents Pottery Barn and Banana Republic could need as much as $30,000.

U Street

Big-ticket items, such as an ex pensive engagement r ing, require a supplemental piece of insurance called a floater, since their individual value is too high to fall under the standard renters policy.

So who doesn’t need renters insurance? A nyone liv ing in a college dormitor y, hotel or executive housing. Temporary living situations can’t be covered by renters insurance.

Like ma ny ot her k inds of insurance, a renters insurance policy has a deductible, which is the amount of money the insured pa r t y must pay before t heir insurance coverage kicks in. So if your deductible is $250 and you’ve suffered damage to $1,000 worth of your belongings, expect a check for $750.

Some landlords — but not all — require tenants to obtain a renters insurance policy. And some take things a step further by not only requiring that tenants obtain renters insurance but also asking to be listed as an interested party on the policy. Don’t be scared off by that. They typically just want to know if the policy gets canceled and to make sure they understand how the claims process works.

Whether your landlord mandates renters insurance or not, it’s a good idea to evaluate your possessions and think about what it would cost you to replace them.

“Things have changed; people own more expensive things now,” Brown says. “And for less than the cost of a pizza a month, a renters insurance policy will protect you.”

will tell you the truth!” [Laughs] When you have a 99 percent retention rate among clients like I do, that means they like your taste. It’s all about honesty, but still being considerate.

What kind of service can your guests expect?

Every guest who gets a haircut gets a head massage. It releases tension, and who doesn’t like a head massage? I train my artists as a family with no egos and no jealousy.

So if a client decides they want to try another stylist, there’s no hard feelings. And I don’t have to charge $900 a haircut because that’s not considerate. We have to be fair.

You could spend all your hard-earned leisure time this fall being bombarded by election coverage. Or you could indulge in the season’s best exhibits, concerts, plays, films, performances and special events. Find out where to go and what to enjoy with our 2012 Fall Arts Preview.

Don’t worry—politics will still be there when you’re done having fun.

The Washington Post Sunday, September 9 Express Thursday, September 13

Erwin Gomez HAIR ARTIST, BROW GURU AND SALON OWNER Following the very messy (and very public) closing of his eponymous salon in Georgetown, Erwin Gomez decided he’d treat his next project as a chance to make himself over. Much like the tresses and brows of D.C.’s elite he’s been transforming for years, the stylist/ brow shaper’s new West End salon, Karma Beauty Lounge — which is opening Tuesday — is a better version of what used to be. Offering a level of service on par with his shuttered biz, the new digs also come with the hugs and intimate-butnot-intrusive chat that Gomez clients have come to expect.

How will Karma be different from Erwin Gomez Salon and Spa? It will be so much better. Every artist has their own private station, so you’re not going to be able to listen

to someone’s gossip. I’ve also created an interview process where clients get to interview the artists, so now the artist has to impress the client, just like any job interview.

And I’m being much stricter in my culture training.

What is culture training?

It’s teaching my artists how I want my customers to be treated. Every detail, from how we greet people to how we speak to them, is important. We don’t welcome people to the salon with “What’s up!?” No, no, no, no, NO. I grew up with manners and etiquette, and that’s how I train my staff.

Is the client always right in your salon?

I’m very blunt. My artists always joke, “Don’t ask Erwin because he

ÇM^[d oek ^Wl[ W // f[hY[dj h[j[dj_ed hWj[ ¾ b_a[ ? Ze" j^Wj c[Wdi QYb_[djiS b_a[ oekh jWij[$È You’re also working on a cosmetics line. What will that be like?

I’m so picky. I didn’t want to just get a generic product and throw my name on it. That’s not me. So I found a great manufacturer in Germany, though it’s expensive. Thank you, investors! It’s a lot of work and it’s going to take some time, but I’m really excited about it.

Describe the salon’s interior.

Very industrial modern. I had to reinvent myself. I didn’t want to do the dragon [motif] again because Erwin’s coming back. It will be a very sexy, Moroccan feel. It’s going to be very timeless. I wanted it to represent my new life and explain who I am: more structured, more confident, more freedom, and it’s all about karma. You’re going to feel a lot of energy. HOLLEY SIMMONS (E XPRESS)

ANSWERS FROM THE SHOE BLOGGER

14th St. NW; 202-745-0118). The airy home collective traffics in furniture (such as Shine by SHO’s tufted sofa, shown, $5,875), accessories (preppy patterned pillows, shown, $150-$165) and contemporary art, thanks to the triple threat behind it all: interior designer Lori Graham, vintage hound Mike Johnson and art curator Lauren Gentile.

My 15th high school reunion is five weeks away, which gives me just enough time to make myself over. I’m thinking that instead of doing all that work, I should just get some really great shoes. Please advise.

iconic images from Vogue, the New Yorker and other pubs ($40 each, Condenaststore.com). Our faves?

Its combo of grapefruit and algae extracts also shrunk said blemish — even better.

Crocker’s Shake-n-Pour brownies ($3.50, grocery stores) are the most convenient dessert ever. Just add water to the bottle of dry mix, shake the vessel, then pour the resulting mixture into a pan and bake. Yes, oven temperatures do vary, so inexperienced cooks should realize that if this results in chocolate soup, they just need to bake their batch a bit longer.

Manolo says, ayyyyy! The Manolo likes the way you are thinking. Obviously, you are the longtime reader of the Manolo.

Normally, the most common thing to do when the Day of Labor arrives, and the high school reunion season approaches, is to start the lemon-water-cabbage-soup-watermelon starvation diet. Followed closely by calls to the beautician, the aesthetician, the dietician and the Botox doctor.

One needs to do these things so as to overcome the trauma of the high school by showing up the mean cheerleader girls who dated the quarterbacks and ruled the lunchroom from their Mordor-like table in the center.

But, unless you have magically become Cindy Crawford since graduation, this sort of thing rarely works.

You are still you, and they are still them, just older, perhaps wiser and maybe more centered and contented.

But the world spins on, and your high school days are ever receding into the distant past.

Better, says the Manolo, to fix yourself up within reason, put on the beautiful shoes and enjoy the evening.

Look! Stunningly beautiful shoes!

METALLICS, PEPLUMS AND PRINTS BRING NEW CHIC TO OLD FAVORITES H[c[cX[h m^[d getting ready for fall signaled a whole new wardrobe (grunge-rocker flannels and pleated jeans back in 1993, harem pants plus Tory Burch tunics for 2007)? Yeah, we really don’t, either. In recent years, street-style creativity and old-time thriftiness have dominated fashion. So now, a cool-weather update means taking classics from your closet — a little black dress, your fave skinny jeans, a simple white top — then amping them up with autumn trends: metallics, colorful leathers, printed pants. “It’s about mixing in what you’ve got — say a new peplum top with a classic pencil skirt,” says Julie Egermayer, owner of Adams Morgan boutique Violet (2439 18th St. NW; 202-621-9225). “If you buy just a few key pieces — a sequined jacket, a bright bag — you’ll update everything.” Shop this way, and you’ll look refreshed, not like a fashion victim circa 2012.

B e s ide s a c t u a l c lo t h i n g, fashion magazines sell ideals and aspirations, which can seem more valuable when economic conditions deem them less affordable. After four years of peril, these titles are all suddenly thriving, from the avant-garde (W has 412 pages) to the moms-and-proms (InStyle at 652). “The only trend I can say is that high-end women’s fashion magazines are doing much better than magazines as a whole,” says Steve Cohn, who edits the Media Industry Newsletter.

These magazines make money because they elevate the eye and sometimes the spirit, take the reader someplace special. These fantasy tomes feel a boost during economic distress — like liquor and ice cream and movie ticket sales.

Of Vogue’s 916 pages, 658 are ads. As the magazine’s rate card for advertisers explains, one single page can cost as much as $165,232, though many ads are sold in discount packages. The weighty result gets compared often to a doorstop and then sometimes, tellingly, to a murder weapon.

Anna Wintour herself, in the 2009 documentary “The September Issue,” speaks to the hidden menace people project on her brand. “There is something about fashion,” she says, “that can make people very nervous.”

J^[ I[fj[cX[h ?iik[0 =beii[Z El[h For Wendy Felton, the obsessive magazine fan behind Glossedover.com, live-blogging Vogue’s September issue has become an annual tradition. On Tuesday, she spent more than nine hours dissecting the issue.

Vogue’s September issue weighs in at 4 pounds, 10 ounces and is 1 ⅜ inches thick.

TWP

At 4 pounds, 10 ounces, Vogue’s September issue has weight. Its heft carries some hope, a sign of economic life, a pulse that subverts the flat-lining CBO numbers. This single edition of one magazine suggests that even in bad times, someone is up for a good time.

The fashion magazine announces right there on the cover that it’s putting out “916 pages of spectacular fall fashion for all.”

The operative word is the last one. Everybody’s invited.

More Than Models The range of features in Vogue’s September issue illustrate editor Anna Wintour’s desire to appeal beyond the runway crowd.

Probably the biggest exclusive of the season, Jonathan Van Meter catches up with former first daughter, Chelsea Clinton.

A writer details her struggle with prosopagnosia — a brain disorder that makes it difficult to remember faces.

Face-of-the-moment Karlie Kloss dons neon wigs in a nod to workplace wear for every office. (E XPRESS)

H[Ô[Yj_d] D[m Heb[i “I’m as practical as Bloomingdale’s,” the late Diana Vreeland says in “The Eye Has to Travel,” September’s documentary on her lavish Vogue era, the 1960s. As editors, Vreeland and Wintour can be seen as both ambitious and sensible. However, for all Vreeland’s declarations about being mad for this or that, Wintour is not one to fulminate over cerulean blue or this season’s hem length. Women’s lives have become more demanding, and her magazine reflects new roles and responsibilities in the workplace and the world.

The most colorful statement in this September issue is not merely about dying your hair neon colors, it’s about showing up for work with neon hair. The storied stylist Grace Coddington, known for her own orange plume, teamed with photographer David Sims to show Karlie Kloss, the statuesque catwalker, vamping her way to work in clothes that befit a lawyer,

a broadcast journalist, even a CEO. The headline? “Her Brilliant Career.”

:[b_X[hWj[ :[jW_bi Throughout her tenure, Wintour has kept models in business but offered the cover to actresses, athletes and women of different sizes and varied accomplishments. In her first months at the White House, Michelle Obama posed for the cover, with an inside spread that included J. Crew. <eh <Wdi September’s E\ ÇJ^[ Lady Gaga cover I[fj[cX[h is as stately as ?iik[È a c a r yatid, a “Diana Vreeland: shapely column The Eye Has to Travel,” a holding up the retrospective entablature that on the life of the is the magazine’s former Vogue masthead. editor-in-chief Ever y detail is and Harper’s Bazaar fashion deliberate, like the anniversary editor, opens Sept. 28 at E banner swimming Street Cinema. a m o n g t h e letters.

The September issue is a preview to the fall’s fashion shows, which Wintour has single-mindedly boosted. Fashion’s Night Out, the opening soiree of New York Fashion Week, is essentially an Anna Wintour production, generating retail sales and tax revenue and all sorts of goodwill, despite the traffic jams.

It’s one night of irrational e x ubera nce t ha n e ven A la n Greenspan could applaud. This is not trickle-down economics that lifts all boats, just a blast of commerce and giddiness for one highly productive sector of a notso-productive economy.

And by hanging at home with the magazine that corrals it all, anyone can enjoy a Fashion’s Night In.

Phone-sex comedy ‘For a Good Time, Call …’ merely indulges in cliched male fantasies <_bc H[l_[m

Where’s Oldman?

FOCUS FEATURES

“For a Good Time, Call …” is not entirely about phone sex. It’s also about the shallowest female friendship to hit screens since, well, pretty much ever.

Twenty-somethings Lauren and Katie become roomies in Katie’s toogood-to-be-true apartment overlooking Gramercy Park. Lauren (played

by Seth Rogen’s wife, Lauren Miller, who also co-wrote the script) is a high-strung, pearl-wearing priss whose boyfriend dumped her for being “too boring.” Then she loses her job. Katie (Ari Graynor), conversely, is a velour-jumpsuit-wearing, pole-dancing bombshell who moonlights as a phone-sex operator.

When mutual friend Jesse (a flamboyant Justin Long) blindly sets up the women to live together,

In “For a Good Time, Call …,” Lauren Miller, left, and Ari Graynor, right, answer the sex phone — like the bat phone but less serious.

they are horrified, as they have long harbored a mutual hatred for each other. But when Lauren hears Katie having way too much fun from her bedroom one night, she decides she doesn’t want to be boring anymore.

She wants a piece of the action.

Then, ever so magically, the girls become the best of friends! All of a sudden, the movie explodes in a dreadfully maligned orgy of hot pink

telephones, frilly undergarments, gratuitous bosom-bumping, leopard-print dresses and — “OH MY GOD!” — matching tote bags.

And this “bramance” — aimed at turning the “bromance” genre championed by Miller’s hubby on its head — becomes some kind of stereotypical male fantasy incarnate. J E S S R I G H T H A N D

:Whad[ii ?di_Z[ W 8en <_bc H[l_[m “The Possession,” a Jewish variant on “The Exorcist,” recounts the torments of a nice suburban American family that’s infiltrated by an evil spirit (“dybbuk” in Yiddish).

Actually, the dybbuk is the second malevolent force to attack Clyde and Stephanie (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick) and their two daughters. First came the mon-

ster called divorce.

Stephanie banished Clyde for being inattentive. But he dotes on 10-year-old Em (Natasha Calis) and 13-ish Hannah (Madison Davenport) whenever he has temporary custody. So he agrees to buy Em a dark wooden box inscribed with Hebrew letters from a yard sale.

sessed by the dybbuk that was locked inside the box. Science can’t help her, and neither can family court. So Clyde makes a frantic drive to Brooklyn, seeking help from Hasidic rabbis.

Anyone who actually believes in dybbuks and other ghoulies will find “The Possession” terrifying. For the rest of us, the movie is still a cleverly constructed, well-paced piece of hokum.

MARK JENKINS (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Every week, I set aside a little time to watch movie trailers online. It’s ostensibly so I know what’s coming up, but the fact is that even when I wasn’t covering film, I still did it. I love trailers, just because I love to see how studios try to sell their movies.

One obvious strategy is to play up a film’s stars, as is the case with the trailer for “Lawless,” which opened Wednesday.

Long before I saw the movie, I was excited: Tom Hardy! Love him!

8o Ah_ij[d Jessica Chastain!

FW][#A_hXo Love her! Gary Oldman! YES! Shia LaBeouf! Oh…kay!

Let’s go back to Gary Oldman!

Which is why it was disappointing, to say the least, to find out that Oldman is in the film for something like seven minutes.

Sure, an actor can dominate a film in seven minutes — the go-to example is Judi Dench in “Shakespeare in Love” — but here, though Oldman does what he can, what you get is about seven minutes of Gary Oldman.

Which I’ll take over seven minutes with nearly any other actor on the planet, but because the trailer strongly suggested his minutes onscreen would hit at least double digits, I couldn’t help but feel deceived.

Trailers are commercials, and I get that. Commercials can be misleading; as proof, I have a drawer full of mascaras that do nothing they promised.

But the “Lawless” trailer is a perfect example of how a movie can promise so much without delivering.

THE BOURNE LEGACY (PG-13, 135 minutes) Surprise, surprise — “The Bourne Legacy” looks surprisingly good onscreen, 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 pre-existing 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.

The film even possesses a whiff of topicality, in the form of two super-wealthy,

“IRRESISTIBLE!” -Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

SARAH SHATZ

FbWo_d]

Have you ever wanted to see a mash-up of “Speed” and “Bicycle Thieves”? Neither did we, but “Premium Rush” still exists. 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 compulsively promiscuous politician — genuinely scathing satire is largely missing. “The Campaign” missed a chance to be swifter, smarter and more stinging. A.H.

COMPLIANCE (R, 90 minutes) As the film opens, a fast-food restaurant manager named Sandra is getting her busy evening shift started. As her staff arrives, the emotional tectonics continue to shift. When Sandra receives a phone call about one of her workers, a pretty girl named Becky, she’s all business, save for the pent-up resentments constantly

at play between the two women. That phone call leads Sandra and Becky into an increasingly high-charged encounter, which ultimately will give way to even more troubling confrontations. With its pins-and-needles atmosphere of ambient hostility, economic anxiety and power shifts, “Compliance” can in many ways be seen as an unforgiving parable of our

age, in which working-class disempowerment takes on the cruelest psychological and physical dimensions. A .H. COSMOPOLIS (R, 109 minutes) Robert Pattinson plays 28-year-old billionaire Eric Packer, who decides that his perfectly coiffed ’do needs a trim. Despite the protestations of his security chief, Eric insists on journeying to his favorite barbershop. In an “Odyssey”-like turn, he stumbles upon a parade of characters and hazards. He runs into his new wife, an old flame, a water-main break, a piethrowing deviant and an anti-capitalist riot, among other impediments. And all the while he talks. And talks. And talks. Despite the thick dialogue, there’s something compelling about the whole endeavor, because it feels like anything might happen. STEPHANIE MERRY 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.

The film starts off with a nervy piece of midair showmanship in which the movie’s villain, a terrorist thug named Bane, hijacks a CIA plane. 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 the rap for killing a city hero. “The Dark Knight Rises” ends on a self-important note that would be insufferable if Nolan and Bale hadn’t so clearly earned it.

[dj[hjW_dc[dj beeaekj “PARANORMAN MAY BE THE MOST FUN YOU’LL HAVE WITH GHOSTS AND ZOMBIES ALL YEAR.” “

#### ! A VISUALLY BREATHTAKING 3-D STOP-MOTION FANTASY!”

“THERE’S MAGIC IN PARANORMAN !”

MARY CYBULSKI

94 minutes) Champions of Jeff Kinney’s best-selling “Wimpy Kid” books series can celebrate the fact that the major creative players return to ensure that “Dog Days” trots down the same humorous paths carved by its predecessors. But, my, how they’re changing. 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” rarely strays from its core mission of imparting valuable life lessons as it re-enacts the perils of prepubescence. SEAN O’CONNELL THE EXPENDABLES 2 (R, 102 minutes) Capping off summer with explosive action, “The Expendables 2” offers the sendoff 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 . ( A P/ T H E H O L LY W O O D R EP O R T ER) HOPE SPRINGS ( PG-13, 99 minutes) Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) have been married for 31 years and, now, in their 60s, they sleep in separate bedrooms. In an effort to recharge the marriage, Kay arranges a visit to a famous therapist named Dr. Feld (Steve Carell). Most of the film transpires in Feld’s office, as the clinician tries to get to the root of the couple’s problems.

“Hope Springs” is funny mostly thanks to Jones, who plays Arnold with a pitchperfect dose of bemusement, discomfort and long-simmering rage. This is a movie fully aware that just showing up is often more important than even the most cathartic conversation. A.H. THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN (PG, 115 minutes) The title character of Disney’s two-ply weeper, a mysterious 10-yearold boy who pops up in the backyard of a childless couple, is indeed odd. Covered with mud, he’s also marked by a disturbing deformity: leaves sprouting from his lower legs. Odder still is this: The people whom Timothy almost immediately starts calling “Mom” and “Dad” react in pretty much the same way as someone who’s just found a stray cat. They start raising him as their own. Never mind that Timothy, by all evidence, seems to have been wished into existence by his unofficial adoptive

Jeremy Renner threatens a critic who dared to compare Renner to Matt Damon. parents. The movie goes down easily enough. Still, anyone with an expectation of reality, or an aversion to mawkish melodrama, should probably stay home. M.O .

PARANORMAN (PG, 93 minutes) “ParaNorman” is a spooky, creature-infested campfire story laced with valuable lessons about teamwork, responsibility, courage and the celebration of our inner outcast. That last trait is personified

by Norman, a quiet and unassuming middle-schooler who happens to be able to converse with the dead. For years, Norman’s crazy uncle has kept a centuries-old curse cast by a disgruntled witch named Aggie at bay. But when his uncle mysteriously passes away, it’s up to Norman, his perturbed older sister and his mildmannered best friend to quell a zombie uprising and grant Aggie her final wish. S.O. PREMIUM RUSH (PG-13, 91 minutes) Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Wilee, a Columbia Law School grad who opted for a life of adrenaline as a bicycle messenger. He sails across Manhattan on a fixed-gear bike with no brakes. At least he wears a helmet, which comes in handy on many occasions, including the scene that opens the film: Wilee flies through the air amid windshield shards after somersaulting over a cab. From there, the film rewinds,

taking the audience back to how the young man landed in this situation. His boss at Security Courier gives him the task of picking up a package at Columbia. It’s a rush delivery, and he has 90 minutes to fly down Broadway and hand it to a woman in Chinatown. It might not be a noteworthy film, but “Premium Rush” delivers what it promises. S.M. SPARKLE (PG-13, 120 minutes) A remake of the beloved 1976 musical, the updated version will forever be known as the final screen appearance of Whitney Houston.

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. As “Sparkle” opens, in Detroit in 1968, Sister (Carmen Ejogo) and her little sister Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) have snuck out to a nightclub where Sparkle has persuaded her sister to sing one of the songs she’s written. “Sparkle” traffics in the same gorgeous Motown style — sonic and visual — that made the original film, and “Dreamgirls” after it, such delectable fun.

Theater is a heightened reality to start with, so the weird dream logic of world premiere “Goldfish Thinking,” from Longacre Lea, makes its own kind of sense.

Heather Haney (shown, right, with Jennifer Hopkins) plays a law student who has to solve a mystery about herself while simultaneously losing her grip on reality. Callan Theatre at Catholic University, 3801 Harewood Road NE; through Sept. 9, $12-$18; Longacrelea.org.

Jme ?i 8[jj[h J^Wd Ed[ Prepare to argue over ‘TV’s Most Dynamic Duos’ list If[Y_Wbi On a lazy Labor Day eve, ABC indulges in one of programming’s more durable fallbacks: Make an arbitrary list and invite us to argue about it.

“TV’s Most Dynamic Duos: Presented by the Paley Center for Media” presents a roundup of 30 smallscreen couples, buddy pairs, allies and rivals.

People love or, rather, love to hate these kinds of shows. Like the old AFI roundups of the “100 Most (fillin-the-blank) Movies,” they’re maddeningly arbitrary and contrived.

But you can’t help but watch and IKD

One Giant Tribute Science Channel pays tribute to astronaut Neil Armstrong, above, who died last weekend.

“One Giant Leap: A Neil Armstrong Tribute” (Sat., 10 p.m.) includes archival clips of the Apollo project and interviews with Armstrong and his fellow astronauts. The 2007 documentary “In the Shadow of the Moon” (Sat., 8 p.m.) also looks at the incomparable effort to put a man on the moon that began with President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 challenge and culminated with Armstrong’s “one small step” eight years later. (UU)

scream “wrong, wrong, wrong!”

The list focuses on a few married couples, such as Cliff and Clair Huxtable from “The Cosby Show” and Tony and Carmela from “The Sopranos.” We don’t get “Will & Grace” but instead get Jack and Karen. Forget Lucy and Ricky; it’s Lucy and Ethel.

Nonscripted series get their due with Pat Sajak and Vanna White (“Wheel of Fortune”) and Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon (“The Tonight Show”).

No series currently running better personifies the buddy-duo relationship than the silly interplay between Shawn and Gus on “Psych,” but they’re not included.

Most importantly, how can you put “Dynamic Duo” in the title and not include Batman and Robin?

“It is embarrassing (and depressing) that ‘fact-checker’ is now a journalistic gimmick rather than part of the actual process of reporting stories as they emerge.”

— FRANK RICH, a writer for New York magazine, responds to a question on Reddit.com Thursday stemming from Wis. Rep. Paul Ryan’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, which many pundits said was riddled with misleading statements.

ÇM^Wj W iWZ ZWo \eh j^[ Xki_d[ii e\ >_f#>ef$È — HIPHOLLYWOOD.COM reacts to reports of the death of founder and chief executive of Violator Management/ Brand Asset Group Chris Lighty, who, over the years, worked with such artists as Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, Q-Tip, Missy Elliott, Fantasia, Mýa, Diggy Simmons, Cormega, Ja Rule, Mobb Deep, LL Cool J and Nas. Lighty reportedly died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound to the head.

“This is a bit of a surprise, as he was competing against two players who scored approximately a billion goals in all competitions. … [Andres] Iniesta’s a genuinely brilliant player, but the look of disbelief on the other two’s faces give some indication of who deserved the award more.”

— @THEFIX is still bummed that the 24-inch pythons weren’t going to make an appearance at the Republican National Convention after news of Mitt Romney’s “mystery” speaker for Thursday night was leaked.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will have a good time trying something new, and it will be even better if you invite a friend along who shares your sense of adventure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may have to work a little harder to claim the usual rewards, but this should not last long.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may find yourself vacillating between two conflicting moods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and both hinge upon a certain chance happening of a day or two ago.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You feel as though you are short on energy and inspiration, but later in the day you may find both of these resources in full supply.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take care you do not cross anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries unintentionally. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anything that might be interpreted as aggression.

An earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.3 devastates Charleston, S.C., killing at least 60 people.

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.
