Man Confesses to Killing NYC Boy Police arrest suspect after he says he killed Etan Patz in 1979

7d ;hW e\ 7dn_[jo

In a potential break in one of the nation’s most baffling missing-children cases, police arrested a former convenience-store employee after he told police that he suffocated 6-year-old Etan Patz in 1979 and left the boy’s body in a box in an alley, law enforcement officials said Thursday.

New York Police Commissioner R ay mond K e l l y s ay s Pe d r o Hernandez of Maple Shade, N.J., has been arrested in the killing of Etan, whose disappearance on his way to school helped give rise to the nation’s missing-children movement and made him one of the first abducted youngsters to be pictured on a milk carton.

A house, left, at 116 E. Linwood Ave., is seen Thursday in Maple Shade, N.J. An unidentified neighbor said Pedro Hernandez, who told police he killed Etan Patz, lives there.

er Hernandez has a lawyer.

After decades of dead-end leads and phony confessions, investigators warned they are still trying to confirm Hernandez’s account and have little to go on other than his word. No body has been found. No charges have been filed.

“Let me caution you that there’s still a lot of investigating to do,”

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

Hernandez, who is believed to be in his mid-60s, worked at a store in the neighborhood where Patz lived, authorities said.

Hernandez, who moved to New Jersey shortly after the boy vanished, had been tied to the case in the past, and investigators recently received a phone call with a new

Etan Patz’s disappearance ushered in an era of anxiety about leaving children unsupervised.

Police conducted an exhaustive search and Etan’s parents, Stan and Julie Patz, were reluctant to move or even change their phone number in case their son came back. They still live in the same apartment. Stan Patz had his son legally declared dead in 2001. (AP)

tip, according to the law enforcement official. The official gave no details on the tip.

Neighbors in Maple Shade, N.J., said Hernandez lived with his wife and a daughter who attends college. “I can’t believe something like that,” said Dan Wollick, a neighbor. “This guy, he doesn’t seem that way.” COLLEEN LONG (AP)

U.S. Poised to Arm Syrian Rebels

Ç?j mWi W ]k[ii" W +&#+& Y^WdY[$ ?j `kij ^Wff[d[Z je X[ W ]eeZ ]k[ii$È — R A HUL N AGVEK A R , SPEAKING THURSDAY AFTER WINNING THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC BEE. THE 14-YEAROLD TEXAN CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED REGENSBURG AS THE BAVARIAN CITY THAT WAS A LEGISLATIVE SEAT OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE FROM 1663 TO 1806.

As one diplomatic effort after another fails to end more than a year of brutal violence in Syria, the Obama administration is preparing a plan that would essentially give U.S. nods of approval to arms transfers from Arab nations to some Syrian opposition fighters.

U.S. officials said the effort would vet members of the Free Syrian Army and other groups to determine whether they are suitable recipients of munitions to fight the Assad government and to ensure that weapons don’t wind up in the hands of al-Qaeda-linked terrorists or other extremist groups such as Hezbol-

K$I$ eûY_Wbi ijh[ii[Z j^Wj j^[ K$I$ _i dej ikffbo_d] c_b_jWho Wii_ijWdY[ je Fh[i_Z[dj 8Wi^Wh Wb#7iiWZÊi \e[i$ lah that could target Israel.

The plan, which has not yet been finalized, reflects U.S. frustration that none of the previous efforts — including diplomatic rhetoric from the United Nations and the multinational Friends of Syria group, and special envoy Kofi Annan’s plan for a cease-fire — has even begun to

nudge President Bashar al-Assad from power. The vetting would be the first small step the U.S. has made toward ensuring that the Syrian opposition uses the weapons to fight Assad.

While some intelligence analysts worry that there may be no suitable recipients of lethal aid in the Syria conflict, the vetting plan has arisen as the least objectionable idea in a complicated situation.

U.S. officials, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, stressed that the U.S., which is already providing nonlethal aid to Syria’s political opposition, is not supplying military assistance to Assad’s foes. MAT THEW LEE (AP)

President Obama is “the most ill-prepared person to assume the presidency in my lifetime,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said in Kentucky this week. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio told South Carolina Republicans that there hasn’t been such a “divisive figure in modern American history” as Obama.

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ Mitt Romney’s plan to reach out to black voters ran into harsh political realities Thursday at Philadelphia’s Bluford Universal Charter School.

On his first campaign swing in a poor, black neighborhood, a few dozen residents gathered in protests and shouted: “Get out, Romney, get out!”

Romney’s efforts highlight the difficult task ahead in trying to make inroads with President Obama’s core supporters. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

speaking Tuesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, said Obama “wants to take us further in the wrong direction.” In an Alabama appearance this month, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called Obama “the most incompetent president since Jimmy Carter.”

Not that any of them — or any of the others who may have landed a spot on Romney’s list — are talking about becoming vice president.

Nor are any of them acknowledg-

ing that they’re trying out for the role or saying the Romney campaign has asked them to do so.

Top Romney aides are sworn to secrecy, as are potential running mates and their staffs.

With three months to go until the Republican National Convention, Romney’s campaign has little time to waste as it meticulously prepares the presumptive Republican nominee to make one of his most important decisions.

ly become a star, the Nationals disregard his age. On this walk home, where his 19 years made him something like a little brother, playful conversation turned toward the topic. “We figured it out that Bryce was 8 when Adam got married,” Zimmerman said Wednesday.

Harper’s first month in the major leagues will have elapsed

by the end of this weekend, after the Nationals’ three-game showdown against the Atlanta Braves.

The Nationals planned for him to still be in Class AAA Syracuse at this point. He has instead provided a crucial boost to an injury-ravaged, first-place team. And he has done so while learning about life in the majors at 19.

“I don’t think anybody looks at age,” Harper said. “They look at maturity and whatnot. ... I’m just trying to be another guy in the clubhouse and not the kid who comes in and thinks he’s great.”

Jh_Wb Xo <_h[ Harper has not eased into the majors. He has started all 24 games and played in all 221 innings since he arrived. He has started at all three outfield positions and batted seventh, third, fifth and sec-

ond. When the Nationals have needed almost anything, they have asked Harper.

“I didn’t expect him to look as comfortable as he looks up here,” manager Davey Johnson said. “I think he’s very relaxed and I think

7ced] j^[ =h[Wji0 Bryce Harper’s performance, for his age, has bordered on historic. Among 19-year-olds with at least 100 plate appearances since 1900, only Mel Ott (.921 in 1928), Jimmie Foxx (.908 in 1927) and Tony Conigliaro (.883 in 1964) had a higher OPS than Harper’s current .816. Here, then, is a partial list of players whose OPS, in their age-19 season, was lower than Harper’s mark: Ty Cobb, Ken Griffey Jr.,left, Mickey Mantle, Robin Yount, Alex Rodriguez and Al Kaline. (T WP)

mond said. “You’re either good or you’re not good.”

9ec\ehj Ped[ Harper’s unique background has helped the experience of playing in the majors as a teenager feel almost normal. Growing up, Harper crisscrossed the country and joined new AAU or all-star teams almost every weekend. His ability earned him invitations to play with older players. If he was 14, they were 15 or 16. He learned the social art of blending in.

His comfort has allowed Harper to focus on baseball, and he has made one crucial tweak. In his first 42 plate appearances, Harper drew six walks and struck out four times.

As he moved up in the batting order, pitchers fed him more offspeed pitches out of the zone, and he whiffed 12 times and walked three times in his next 43 plate appearances. He has recently started to find his original patience, striking out twice and walking twice since.

The Nationals remained open to sending Harper back to the minors when they first promoted him April 28, but his play has made clear he is where he belongs. “He’s been great,” Desmond said. “I can’t wait to see what’s to come.” ADAM KILGORE (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Bethesda, MD

So when I say there was a really freaky dude on a Red Line train to Silver Spring with me last week, I’m saying he was really freaky. He boarded my car at Union Station and started asking people for money. That’s easy to deal with — I just buried my face deeper into that day’s Express to avoid eye contact, and he walked on by. But another woman a few rows ahead gave him a look that he didn’t like at all.

And that’s when he started screaming. He also violently struck the walls of the car, and grabbed ads and ripped them to shreds. As we pulled into the NoMa-Gallaudet U station, everyone sitting around me gathered their things and got the heck out of there. A bunch of us entered the next car back, and I went straight for the emergency intercom button to report the incident. The driver held on the platform briefly, and security came

and got the guy off the train.

While we waited, and everyone stared through the doors at what was happening, a woman mentioned the guy had been terrorizing passengers on this car a stop earlier.

But no one had thought to alert the driver, which makes me think it’s time for a quick refresher course on public transit safety.

Metro Police deputy chief Ron Pavlik says everybody’s danger threshold varies, and a situation can seem very different during morning rush than at 2 in the morning, or if you’re among a g roup of g uy s rather than a woman traveling alone. “But if the hairs stand up on the back of your neck,” he says, “call us.”

You can do that by hitting the intercom, as I did. An indicator light will tell the driver exactly where you are on the train and he or she can notify police to be waiting when you arrive at the next stop. (Because it’s difficult to do discreetly, Pavlik generally discourages calling when you’re in earshot of the individual you’re reporting. “Why put yourself in harm’s way? But if someone’s being assaulted, you have nothing to lose,” he says.)

A nother option is calling Metro Transit Police directly, and Pavlik recommends programming the number (202-962-2121) into your phone so you’re ready just in case. It’s not that dialing 911 is wrong, but the dispatcher will often turn the call over to Metro, so it’s generally faster to skip the middleman.

Either method is bound to be more effective than simply hoping the scary, unstable guy just goes away.

BeYWb Councilmember uses Polish slur in attempt to improve Asian ties MWi^_d]jed D.C. Councilmember Marion Barry on Thursday stepped up his campaign to mend relations with Asians, apologizing again for disparaging remarks he made about Koreans and Filipinos, and pledging to work to improve ties between them and African Americans.

Yet on his way toward racial harmony, Barry, D-Ward 8, committed another faux pas and presided over a sometimes raucous community meeting at which African

Americans repeated complaints about the way Koreans maintain carryout shops.

Representatives of the Korean, Filipino, Chinese and Japanese communities attended the meeting at a Baptist church in Southeast.

At a news conference, Barry and several Asian American leaders said the dialogue is an important step toward defusing long-standing tension between blacks and Asians. Asked about the underlying sources of the conflict, Barry said the United States “has had racial tensions since was it founded.”

“The Irish caught hell, the Jews caught hell, the Polacks caught hell,” Barry said, invoking a word that Polish people have viewed as

disparaging. “We want Ward 8 to be the model of diversity.”

Asked later about his reference to “Polacks,” Barry at first denied using the word, then retracted his

denial. “I meant Poles.”

Barry last month infuriated Asians with two separate statements. After winning re-election, he pledged to “do something about these Asians coming in, opening businesses, those dirty shops.”

“They ought to go,” he said.

A few weeks later, Barry offended Filipinos when he pointed out that a growing number of nurses are “immigrants” from the Philippines, and said, “Let’s grow our own teachers, let’s grow our own nurses, and so that we don’t have to go scrounging in our community clinics and other kinds of places, having to hire people from somewhere else.” PAUL SCHWARTZMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST )

A campaign aide to Mayor Vincent C. Gray on Thursday became the second person to tell a federal judge that he helped secretly pay a fringe mayoral candidate in 2010 to level verbal attacks.

Appearing in U.S. District Court in the District, Howard L. Brooks admitted he gave money orders to the candidate, Sulaimon Brown, who first claimed last year he accepted money and a job offer to harangue former mayor Adrian M. Fenty in campaign forums.

Brooks, 64, pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to federal investigators who were probing Brown’s claims. Under sentencing guidelines agreed to by prosecutors, Brooks faces up to five years in prison but will be eligible for a sentence of probation only.

People familiar with the investigation but not authorized to comment publicly confirmed that Brooks has cooperated with investigators, including wearing a recording device to capture conversations with Gore.

Charging documents indicate that Brooks initially lied to FBI agents in an April 2011 meeting, telling them he never gave “cash, money orders, or other type of payments” when, in fact, he did. M I K E D E B O N I S A N D T I M C R A I G (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Parker-Westbrook duel could decide whether the Spurs or Thunder advance

'&

The number of technical fouls Russell Westbrook has been called for this year only; six other NBA players had more.

Tony Parker, meanwhile, hasn’t been hit with a technical foul all season, and Westbrook has three more technicals than all of the Spurs combined. (AP)

Fhe 8Wia[jXWbb It’s the main event of the Western Conference finals: Tony Parker and Russell Westbrook, All-Star point guards having their best seasons yet. One going for a fourth NBA championship, the other still chasing his first.

This is the series where things change.

“We’re definitely going to go at him. It’s not going to be like Dallas or the Lakers,” Parker said Wednesday, referring to the first two teams the Oklahoma City Thunder demolished in the playoffs. “Their point guards are not as aggressive. It’s going to be a little bit different.

We’re going to go at him.”

Parker scored 42 points on the Thunder doing just that already this year.

And, yes — that February showcase still bothers Westbrook.

“A little bit, yeah.”

The rematch begins Sunday.

That gives both the Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs — the only teams who occupied first place in the Western Conference since the second week of the season — plenty of rest before Game 1 between

Hebb_d] Ifkhi The Spurs are a perfect 8-0 in the playoffs, having swept the Jazz and the Clippers, and have won 18-straight games dating back to the regular season. Sweeping the Clippers last weekend put San Antonio’s winning streak among the 10 longest in league history — tied for fifth along with Michael Jordan’s 72-win Chicago Bulls in 1996, among others. Eighteen straight victories is a franchise record, and getting to 19 would tie the 2001 Lakers for the record of longest winning streak in the postseason. (AP)

8:30 PM | TNT Sunday WEST FINALS

the two most dominating teams of the playoffs so far.

The Spurs have won 18 in a row and swept Utah and the Los Angeles Clippers, winning by an average of nearly 14 points. The Thunder clobbered the defending champion Mavericks in four games and lost just once to the Lakers, when Westbrook averaged 25.6 points opposite Lakers point guard Ramon Sessions.

Westbrook is 23, an age which

Parker had already won two NBA titles. They arrived in the NBA under vastly different circumstances, with the Spurs taking a chance on a then19-year-old Frenchmen at the bottom of the first round in 2001, and Westbrook getting drafted fourth overall in 2008, three spots behind former MVP Derrick Rose.

Parker, who is averaging 19.1 points and a career playoff-best 7.1 assists, walked onto a team already with one championship, and the Spurs mostly needed him to simply be a sidekick during Tim Duncan’s prime. Westbrook, on the other hand, needed to team with Kevin Durant and rebuild a franchise that just uprooted from Seattle and was

20-62 the year before.

Now 30 and a one-time NBA Finals MVP, Parker is in position to make Westbrook go through him if the Thunder are going to make the most remarkable franchise turnaround that’s possible in a span of just four seasons.

“We have a good team, but Russell makes us very good with what he does,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “His talents and his skills and his work ethic and his determination, sometimes it’s hard to control.”

That’s where Russell can be the anti-Parker: emotional and excited in celebration, but at other times temperamental. But Brooks isn’t asking Westbrook to change at this stage of the season.

“We definitely need Russell to play with the passion that he does,” Brooks said. “You can’t get frustrated if a guy scores on you. You have to stay within what we do, but you have to have that passion.

It should eat at you. You should get frustrated if somebody scores on you, if the defense breaks down and you don’t feel like you did a good enough job to prevent them from scoring.” PAUL J. WEBER (AP)

Less Is Moore’s Fate

Feeling Guilty Over Nationals rookie Watching the NFL called up right after It’s time for a confessional: I am Harper sits and waits ashamed to be a football fan.

J^[ Xejjec b_d[ _i j^Wj j^[ b[W]k[ lWbk[i fheÓ j el[h j^[ iW\[jo e\ _ji fbWo[hi$ Millions of fans — myself included — have cheered as this has gone on.

There is no way to justify this, but it’s a fact.

With a brilliant marketing scheme, the NFL was somehow able to sell big hits while distracting fans — again, myself included — from asking what happens next.

I hope Seau’s death and other similar sad endings put renewed, longterm focus on the effects of playing football. It’s easy to care now, when no games are being played, but in the fall this must continue to matter.

That being said, I understand the allure of watching the NFL: It’s a fun time. Or at least it used to be.

The NFL can no longer be a guilty pleasure — I’m just guilty of going with the flow.

Tyler Moore has played sparingly since the Nationals called him up to the majors in late April.

This is a story about a rookie trying to make his place in the game, a top prospect with a powerful swing called up by the Nationals last month, earlier than anyone expected, to make his majorleague debut at Dodger Stadium.

This is not a story about Bryce Harper (that’s on page 9).

This is a story about the guy who got his promotion a day after Harper, and who went from punishing pitchers at Class AAA Syracuse to sitting, watching and waiting in Washington.

Tyler Moore is not a precocious 19-year-old raised to be a star. He is 25 and has never been on Sports Illustrated’s cover. He’s a former 16th-round draft pick with bona fide minor-league credentials. Over the past two years, between Class A and Class AA, he averaged 31 home runs and 100 RBI. If you’re looking for him, don’t

look on the field. Most nights, you’ll find him in the dugout, soaking it all in and hoping manager Davey Johnson will look his way late in the game and tell him to grab a bat.

Moore has only 17 at-bats spread out over 11 games with the Nationals, who play the Atlanta Braves this weekend. “It’s definitely an adjustment but it’s something that has to be done,” Moore said. “It’s not a time to make excuses or anything. You just want to get in and help this team win.”

Moore is not complaining. He could be in Syracuse, where minorleague life means cramped buses, austere clubhouses and small crowds. Instead, Moore is making the best of a situation that, when he thinks about it, isn’t so bad at all.

He’s picking brains of the coaches and veterans, anyone who has a little bit of wisdom to share. “It’s fun to kind of learn from them and take it all in, kind of like a sponge,” he said. DEREK TURNER (FOR E XPRESS)

Moss Seeks to Regain Old Form J^[ H[Zia_di When he looked back on one of the most disappointing seasons of his 11-year career, Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss knew something had to change.

A year after recording a careerhigh 93 catches for 1,115 yards and six touchdowns, Moss in 2011 missed four games with a broken hand, lacked his usual effectiveness when he returned midway through the season and never got back on track. He ended the year with only 46 catches for 585 yards and four touchdowns — his lowest output in nine seasons.

So Moss spent the offseason

It is a barbaric sport that has promoted a false sense of machismo in becoming a billion-dollar industry.

And I’ve bought in. I’m not alone — but I am part of the problem.

None of this is new.

However, the events of the past month — from Junior Seau’s suicide to the rapid rise in lawsuits from for8o CWjj mer players suffering Im[died effects similar to posttraumatic stress disorder — have put a new spotlight on the NFL’s brutal culture.

The bottom line is that the league values profit over the safety of its players.

Santana Moss had just 46 catches and 585 yards last year with the Redskins.

getting back to the physical form he had during some of his best seasons.

The 5-foot-10-inch Moss has spent much of his career in the

185-to-190-pound range, but in recent years, has tipped the scales at 205 pounds.

W hen the Redskins began their offseason conditioning program in mid-April, Moss showed up 15 pounds lighter than he did last season.

“I just wanted to get back to what I do,” said Moss, who prior to last season had averaged 73.6 catches for 1,023 yards in six seasons as a Redskin. “The last four years, I’ve probably played a little heavy and yeah, I still played at a high level, but I can tell there are certain things I wasn’t doing. I just want to get back to that.” MIKE JONES (THE WASHINGTON POST )

D.C. Reclaims Home Dominance United aims to stay hot at RFK in game against Revolution

H[fehj_d] \eh :kjo Dwayne De Rosario and Dejan Jakovic will be departing D.C. United to represent Canada in a friendly against the United States on June 3 and in World Cup qualifiers against Cuba and Honduras on June 8 and 12, respectively. They will leave after this weekend’s match, and they won’t miss any MLS games. But they won’t be available for the club’s U.S. Open Cup match against the Richmond Kickers on Tuesday. A.C.

D_Ya[Z Kf New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks is expected to be sidelined up to three months after breaking his right foot at a team organized activity early Thursday. The Giants, who lost Super Bowl hero Mario Manningham to free agency, have depth at receiver with Victor Cruz returning along with Domenik Hixon, who missed most of last season with a knee injury, and Ramses Barden. Second-round draft pick Rueben Randle showed a lot of talent in the recent rookie minicamp as well. (AP)

The Nationals have been on a “Take Back the Park” crusade this season, but they’re not the only ones in town trying to make their home park a sacred space.

D.C. United has been on a “Take Back RFK” campaign all season long. Since a season-opening 1-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City, D.C. is 5-0-2 at home and has a chance to complete a three-game, nine-point sweep on its current home stand with a win over the New England Revolution on Saturday.

“We have to build that fear into the league where when you come here it’s going to be a tough, hard environment to play in,” rookie

RFK Stadium has been a friendlier home than past seasons for D.C. United this year.

winger Nick DeLeon said. “You’re not going to come in here and expect to get three points, you’re going to expect to lose three points.”

D.C. has already exceeded its home win total from both 2011 (4) and 2010 (3). With the New York Red Bulls settling for a draw Wednesday and Sporting KC in the midst of a

four-game winless streak, another home win for D.C. would put the club in first place in the Eastern Conference before a three-week break.

D.C. needs to top the Revolution for the second time this season for its first three-game winning streak since 2008. D.C.’s next league game is June 16, giving this

game extra importance.

“No one wants to go out and lose this game and have to sit on our butts for a couple weeks and think about it,” said Chris Pontius.

Wiz Mum on Whether Wittman Will Be Back J^[ M_pWhZi Nearly a month after the Wizards concluded the regular season, the team has still been extremely quiet about its plans for coach Randy Wittman.

A source with knowledge of the Wizards’ thinking recently described the situation as “an ongoing process,” adding that the team has no timetable to make a decision. Wittman and his assistants are still under contract for next season, lessening the urgency. But the silence — and lack of aggressiveness in pursuing other potential candidates — has raised speculation amongst agents and rival league executives that they all will be brought back.

A person who has spoken recently to team President Ernie Grunfeld said “reading between the lines” from their conversations left

the impression that Wittman would be retained. The person added, “Hey, I could be wrong.”

Wittman went 18-31 after taking over the team, and several players expressed their support for having him return for a full season. The Wizards made considerable progress, especially on the defensive end, after acquiring Nene in a trade deadline deal and finished the season on a six-game winning streak.

Decorate Without Apology Temporary tricks let you personalize your place without losing the deposit

JASON HORNICK (FOR EXPRESS)

Decor

Renters Stacy Golleher and Bruce Harvie, with their puppy, Hemingway, chose a sectional sofa because it can be reconfigured to fit into their next apartment.

“Wrapping paper is God’s gift,” says Stacy Golleher, 32.

She’s not talking about presents.

Golleher’s Eastern Market one-bedroom is peppered with wrapping paper accents. It covers a corkboard behind the stove where she pins recipes. It’s decoupaged onto more than one piece of furniture. It used to add color to the backs of her built-in bookshelves — until boyfriend Bruce Harvie, 32, moved himself and his book collection in.

It’s just one tool that Golleher, an avid DIYer who blogs about her decor — among other things — at Shelbsgee.com, has discovered to personalize her apartment without doing permanent damage.

For a renter, decorating can create problems. Personalized paint jobs or holes left in the walls where pictures hung: These are things that you usually have to fix before moving, or risk losing your security deposit.

One key is communicating with your landlord before you make any changes.

“Ask,” advises Christopher Patrick (Christopherpatrickinteriors.com), a D.C. interior designer who has lived in his share of rented studios. “You’ve got to ask what your limitations are before you make assumptions.”

Start by asking about lighting. “The number one thing you can do in a rental apartment is change the light fixture,” CONTINUED ON R3

says Golleher. Many apartments come with basic light fixtures that are a standard size, making it easy to swap them out for same-sized fixtures from a hardware store or Ikea.

“I’ve often switched out to track lighting or some fixture that would allow you to adjust some of the lighting,” says Patrick. Check with an electrician if things get tricky, and save the old fixture so you can put it back up before you move.

Next, think about the walls.

Painting walls is a tricky issue for renters: Many buildings forbid any painting, or otherwise make the tenant repaint the wall its original color before moving out.

Check with the landlord about the building’s policies. “Typically, if it’s a light enough color where they can cover it in one coat, they don’t have an issue,” advises Patrick.

There are plenty of other ways to add color. When a friend of Patrick’s was not allowed to paint, he bought three large canvases (each about 3 feet by 4 feet), painted them the same color and hung them sideby-side along the wall. He hung artwork on top by nailing picture wire into the frames.

“You’re giving that shot of color and adding that warmth, but it isn’t permanent,” says Patrick. Another plus: You can take the canvases to your next place and repaint them a new color.

For a bold look with similarly low commit ment, check out temporary wallpaper or wall decals.

They’re essentially huge stickers for

— CHRISTOPHER PATRICK , A D.C.-BASED INTERIOR DESIGNER, RECOMMENDS SWAPPING STANDARD LIGHT FIXTURES FOR A MORE VERSATILE VERSION IN THE SAME SIZE.

your wall that peel off easily if the paint underneath is an eggshell or satin finish. (Many manufacturers do not recommend them for use on matte finishes.)

For a cozier look, hang draperies along an entire wall — with or without windows. It’s a favorite technique of New York-based designer Libby Langdon, the author of Libby Langdon’s Small Space Solutions (Libbylangdon.com).

To hang the drapes securely, Langdon swears by 3M Command strips, which come in a variety of sizes and leave no marks when removed. The large sizes are big enough to hold up a drapery rod.

“You can use these big 3M hooks that are meant for a bathrobe or something, and you just set your drapery rod in the hooks,” she says.

Of course, you can also use

curtains on windows. “Oftentimes you’re stuck with either vertical blinds or miniblinds,” says Patrick.

He recommends adding draperies to add softness, color or pattern to your room.

Whether you’re buying draperies or furniture, if you’re renting, you need to think about how you’ll use the item in your next place.

The couch from Golleher’s previous apartment wouldn’t even fit down the stairs of her current English basement. She replaced it with a sectional couch from Ikea that had the perk of arriving in small boxes. Because it’s a sectional, she can reconfigure it to fit into her next place.

“I can take the chaise off and move the arm over and make it a

love seat,” she says.

Sometimes it’s worth it to buy something that won’t come with you to the next apartment.

In need of storage space, Golleher installed floating shelves on the walls of her kitchen. If she wanted to take them to her next place, she’d fill in the holes made in the wall with spackling compound.

But right now, she’s planning just to leave them up.

“A lot of these things that I do make me happy in the space while I’m in it, and I’m happy to leave it for the next tenant to enjoy,” she says. BETH MARLOWE (E XPRESS)

Two large bedrooms, each with its own massive closet and wellappointed bathroom, take up most of the unit’s 1142 square feet.

The living room would feel a little small if it didn’t open onto a large balcony with a view of the street.

The three-year-old building has a fitness center, outdoor pool and garage — which is useful because it’s nearly a mile from the Ballston Metro. A sister building is still under construction next door.

Lara Spencer “GOOD MORNING AMERICA” ANCHOR, VINTAGE BUFF As an anchor on “Good Morning America,” Lara Spencer chats up people both famous (Tom Cruise) and infamous (the Kardashian sibs). She also did time in hard news and hosted “Antiques Roadshow” for two seasons. But the vivacious journo is just as good at tracking down vintage bargains as she is at sussing out stories, a stylish fact shown off in her new decor book, “I Brake for Yard Sales” ($25, Stewart, Tabori & Chang). The photo-filled tome reveals how Spencer uses flea market bargains to outfit luxe-looking rooms.

You haunt yard sales, flea markets and estate sales. How do you get good deals at them?

You have to go often and not get discouraged. Keep going back to sales, and don’t be afraid.

Your look is mixing antiques and modern pieces. Why do you think it works?

It’s a fun way to express yourself.

It makes your home an extension of yourself. There’s nothing wrong with opening a catalog and ordering an entire room, but it’s not going to say much about you.

But can you mix too many things into one room?

You mean create a hoarder’s nest?

To avoid that, don’t fill every single nook and cranny in your house — let pieces breathe. Before you buy something, ask, “Do I love this? Do I have space for it?”

Part of your message is that you can create a rich look on a tiny budget. What’s the secret?

Be creative and inventive. Like, if

One of the easiest ways to transform furniture? Have a piece of mirror cut to fit the top of a table that needs refinishing. It creates a glamorous finish for next to nothing.

Any tips on navigating estate sales? I know some folks are put off by them.

Usually estate sales are run by companies, and they price everything and curate it, so you’ll pay a little more. I know some people think estate sales are morbid, but I try to think that these pieces have been loved, and I’m going to give them a new home.

What about Craigslist? How can I be the person who gets the great piece for cheap?

It’s that old mantra: You snooze, you lose. If you’re intrigued by something, call right away, because there is someone right behind you.

:[Wh CWdebe ANSWERS FROM THE SHOE BLOGGER

At the end of June, I’m going to Dubai for a conference. For the meetings, I’m going to be in business attire, but afterwards, I plan on dressing up and hitting the malls and restaurants. What I need is a pair of sandals that will look great for both shopping and dining out afterwards. — ANDREA

Manolo says, what could be better than Dubai in the summer? Where the outside temperature at noon is 615 degrees, Celsius! Ah, but inside the Dolce-Gabbana-Prada-Gucci-Tiffany megastore, where the richy-rich oil sheikhs pay for their purchases with suitcases of gold bullion, the air is conditioned down to the very lovely 72 degrees, American.

Better Off Ped? SHOE INSOLES are not in the slightest bit sexy. At least Summer Soles tried, with two new designs in their “Softness of Suede” designs, right ($7-$8, Summersoles.com).

Then again, sweaty, squishy flats, dirty sandal beds and stinky feet are also not in the slightest bit sexy. These insoles’ adhesive is aggressive, which is great for higher heels and less-great for closed-toe flats.

Indeed, who else but the oil sheikhs would build something in the desert as crazy-beautiful as the Ski Dubai, the giant indoor ski resort in the Mall of the Emirates, where the temperature is always just below freezing and the bunny hill beckons.

Of the course, one must celebrate such ostentatious defiance of Mother Nature with beautiful shoes, although, buying the new shoes to go to Dubai is like building the indoor ski resort in Siberia. The shoe shopping in Dubai is perhaps the best in the world.

Everything is available from the most humble sandals, through the best Louboutins, Blahniks and even the bespoke shoes can be ordered.

However, if you must have the shoes before you go, the Manolo suggests this DSquared2 platform sandal ($555, Zappos.com), the Gladiator Maine in the brick color.

The Odd Couple

RICARDO VAZ PALMA/SONY PICTURES

With Tommy Lee Jones’ Agent K as straight man and Will Smith’s Agent J as comic foil, the “Men in Black” series has delivered one of Hollywood’s most enduring pairs of mismatched buddies.

“Partnerships are good engines for narrative,” Jones says. “It’s the opposing energies for me,” Smith adds. “It’s like the last two guys that you imagine are going to be partners, and there’s no cross-over of each other’s lanes.” (AP)

The quick synopsis of “Hysteria,” out Friday, is “it’s a romantic comedy about the invention of the vibrator.”

In the vaguely-based-on-truth story, Dr. Granville (Hugh Dancy, above) creates an incredibly loud, electrically powered pulsating monster to help HIM out. A doctor specializing in the treatment of hysteria, he’s come down with a repetitive motion injury — because the prescription for ladies suffering from this (made-up) malady is 8o Ah_ij[d to go to the doctor and FW][#A_hXo have him manually bring you to orgasm.

The symptoms of hysteria — which, in the film, is diagnosed only for upper-class and upper-middleclass women — encompassed anything, such as mild depression, liking sex, not liking sex and just being bored. The diagnosis simply meant you were a woman who didn’t fit into the Victorian ideal. Which is all fun to laugh at now, because it’s in the past, right? I mean, women no longer think they have to fit someone else’s idea of what a woman should be.

The saddest part for “Hysteria” audiences is that, while women may no longer be medically diagnosed as somehow wrong, we still spend much of our days feeling that we are. Am I too fat? Too thin? Do I smell right? Will I be taken seriously if I wear this? Why is that guy looking at me? Should I really be eating this? The boxes set up in the Victorian age have changed, but they are still, to a degree, holding us in.

;Wio Je <eh][j Tommy Lee Jones and WIll Smith return to ‘Men in Black,’ but the reunion isn’t ideal <_bc H[l_[m First, the good news. There are a couple of real pleasures in “Men in Black III,” the third installment of the sci-fi adventure-comedy series about cops policing a shadow world of aliens living among us. The most satisfying is the setup itself.

In a time-travel scenario, Agent J (Will Smith) must go back to 1969 to prevent the murder of his partner, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones),

by another interloper in the spacetime continuum, an escaped convict named Boris the Animal who was once locked up by Agent K. Boris is played by an unrecognizable Jemaine Clement (“The Flight of the Conchords”) and a pile of CGI effects. Agent K’s younger self is played by Josh Brolin, who uses some old-fashioned acting to create an uncanny — and pretty funny — personification of Jones’ laconic, squinty-eyed K. But the best thing about the setup — which conveniently coincides with the Apollo 11 moon launch, a key plot point — is that it affords the film an opportunity to make fun of the ’60s, which it does

most nimbly in a scene set at Andy Warhol’s Factory. Bill Hader’s Warhol, who hides a crucial secret, can be added to the growing list of worthy cinematic impersonations of the iconic, silver-wigged artist.

Not everything in the film works, though.

Until Agent J “time jumps” into the past — a trick that entails him literally leaping off the Chrysler Building — the movie feels flatfooted and lazy, reprising old jokes and sight gags from the two earlier films. It simply takes too long for things to get going.

And Agent J’s plunge (repeated late in the film, from the top of rocket scaffolding) looks too obviously like a green-screen effect.

Adding to the list of misfires is Emma Thompson as Agent O, who replaces Rip Torn as the head of the M.I.B. agency. Seemingly intended to add spice as Agent K’s is-she-orisn’t-she love interest, the actress is hopelessly wasted.

Finally, there’s the tone. In earlier incarnations, the “Men in Black” franchise struck a happy balance between sly humor and slimy alien action. This third outing climaxes with a dark and melodramatic twist that, while adding a layer of nuance and backstory that the previous two films never had, also feels wildly out of sync with its audience’s expectations.

History’s epic saga ‘Hatfields & McCoys’ fights a losing battle J[b[l_i_ed H[l_[m Here’s a pop quiz most TV .0&& zombies can’t pass: Which one was Hatf ield and which one was McCoy? Who lived in Kentucky and who lived in West Virginia? How long did their feud last and what finally ended it? And here’s the essay portion: What were they so mad about, anyhow?

Most of us learned what we know about the Hatfields and the McCoys from an old Bugs Bunny cartoon, but the Hatfield vs. McCoy metaphor remains permanently with us 125 years later. The words “Hatfield and CED

McCoy” handily depict any two citizens whose insurmountable discord leaves the bounds of civility.

After the Civil War, the personal animosity between William Anderson “Devil Anse” Hatfield and Randolph McCoy fanned out to their respective kin and escalated to a bloody and violent degree over a two-decade span, claiming a dozen lives, attracting national press attention, and darn near sparking an Appalachian mini-war between the two states.

The History channel wades right into the thick of Tug Fork next week with its miniseries “Hatfields & McCoys,” airing Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. It’s a lushly produced but ultimately dull dramatic version of the story.

Kevin Costner and Bill Pax-

7d EX`[Yj B[iied _d HecWdY[ Through love-story conventions, ‘Hysteria’ explores the invention of the electric vibrator

>oij[h_W H Director: Tanya Wexler Stars: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Jonathan Pryce In a Nutshell: The truth of how Mortimer Granville invented of the first vibrator in the name of science.

Set in Victorian England, the loosely fact-based “Hysteria” is billed as the story of the invention of the electric vibrator. And it is that. Physician Mortimer Granville (Hugh Dancy) really did invent the now-famous device, and it really was once used as a therapeutic treatment for a number of maladies that were imagined to be caused by a malfunctioning of the female anatomy.

But the film is no documentary.

The “O” word itself is never mentioned. The cries of delight, expressions of ecstasy and rapturous phys-

In “Hysteria,” Hugh Dancy (with Maggie Gyllenhaal) plays the inventor of the vibrator.

ical convulsions that Granville’s patients undergo after he begins an apprenticeship with Robert Dalrymple (Jonathan Pryce) — a physician who specializes in treating hysteria via manual massage — are referred to throughout the film as “paroxysms.” In an age of medical leech-

es, it was thought impossible for a woman to experience sexual pleasure without penetration.

Dalrymple’s feisty and intelligent daughter Charlotte (Maggie Gyllenhaal), however, thinks otherwise. She’s the most interesting thing about “Hysteria.”

And her relationship with Mortimer is actually kind of sweet.

When he shows up with a giftwrapped box at one point, you half expect it to contain a vibrator.

Instead, it’s a winter coat.

That the parcel doesn’t contain the single object that “Hysteria” seems most obsessed with isn’t just a relief. It’s proof that the movie, in the end, understands that what women want is a man who really cares. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST )

ton are promising choices as costars, but that promise soon dissipates as the first episode begins to drag and you realize you’ve got many more hours to go. Surely Hatfield (Costner) and McCoy (Paxton) were more interesting than the stilted dialogue “Hatfields & McCoys” imagines for them and their families. Costner and Paxton give the movie their full powers of presence, but the roles just aren’t meaty enough; there’s no character depth or thematic takeaway.

The point of the entire saga, it seems, is to make you lose track of what the feudin’ was about, and how it managed to burn out of control. It will always be tempting to view their story through any modern analogy of one’s choosing — such as partisan political stalemates or the red-blue socioeconomic divide.

But maybe the story of the Hatfields and McCoys doesn’t amount to anything at all. Maybe, since it also doesn’t make much of a miniseries, it was meant to be a footnote and nothing more.

FbWo_d] BATTLESHIP (PG-13, 131 minutes) Battleship — Hasbro’s venerable game of naval strategy in which players use a combination of guesswork and logic to deduce the location of their opponents’ ships — isn’t exactly known for its thrilla-minute narrative complexity. Fear not.

“Battleship” is an invigorating blast of cinematic adrenaline. Deftly directed by Peter Berg, from a script by brothers Eric and Jon Hoeber that adds muscle, sinew and heart to the skeletal source material, the resulting film is an enormously entertaining amusement-park ride. Yes, it’s a bit preposterous, not to mention loud. But it’s also brisk and viscerally thrilling, with a genuine surprise or two

— including a plot twist that manages to brilliantly incorporate the game’s essential DNA of blindly shooting at invisible targets. It’s the action that propels this fleet film forward. Like its naval namesake, “Battleship” may be bulky, long and overblown, but when it gets in the water it’s as nimble as a speedboat. Sure, it may be beset by a few cliches, but it manages to outmaneuver them all in the end. M.O. THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL (PG-13, 122 minutes) A blandly middling crowd-pleaser, this film follows a group of seven English retirees who have taken up residence in a seedy Indian boarding house. The entertainment is directly proportional to the appeal of each character.

At the delightful end of the spectrum is Judi Dench’s Evelyn, a recent widow whose loneliness and hard-won wisdom is rendered in an affectingly nuanced performance. At the other end is Maggie Smith’s Muriel, a nakedly racist coot rendered in a

strident, one-note caricature. Some viewers may respond to the film’s message that it’s never too late for love. Others may groan at its reliance on paleolithic vaudeville humor. Colonialist stereotypes also abound: India is dirty and inefficient, and the food will give you the runs. M.O.

The opening scenes are when viewers meet the principal players, who hew telegenically to horror-movie conventions. When they all pile into an RV and head for one of their cousin’s new place on a rural lake, carnage is sure to ensue.

[dj[hjW_dc[dj beeaekj Cabin in the Woods” marks a welcome return of cheap thrills and simple bumpin-the-night frights, with some stinging self-critical commentary on the side. A.H. CHIMPANZEE (G, 82 minutes) “Chimpanzee,” the follow-up feature to Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield’s “Earth,” is one part “Wild Kingdom” and one part wacky-talking-animal tale. As narrated

by Tim Allen, the chimps at the center of “Chimpanzee” appear to think out loud as they forage for food, groom and play with one another and sleep in the Ivory Coast. Throughout the film, which revolves around the adventures of an adorable baby chimp that the filmmakers have nicknamed Oscar, Allen doesn’t just describe the action but also gives voice to Oscar’s innermost thoughts. Although rated G, “Chimpanzee” features scenes of rival chimpanzee packs attacking each other. Some sequences are intense and frightening. And what happens to Oscar is genuinely, if only momentarily, sad. But nature is messy, and “Chimpanzee” doesn’t shrink from that. M.O. DARK SHADOWS (PG-13, 112 minutes) Tim Burton’s retread of the 1970s daytime goth-opera — starring Johnny Depp — is depressing on myriad levels. It doesn’t know where it wants to dwell: in the eerie, subversive penumbra suggested by its title or in playful, go-for-broke camp.

Depp once again plumbs his vocal depths to come up with a sonorously memorable voice for Barnabas, beginning with a narrated preamble explaining how the Collins family settled in Maine, made a

fortune in fishing, built a soaring manor of Collinwood and suffered tragedy at the hands of a witchy servant girl named Angelique. The ribald humor that runs through “Dark Shadows” will most likely go over the heads of the youngsters to whom the rest of the movie is presumably aimed. But surely no one, regardless of age, will buy the third-act twist that occurs in the middle of the mayhem that Angelique brings down on Collinwood. A.H. THE DICTATOR (R, 83 minutes) “In loving memory of Kim Jong-Il,” reads an epigraph at the beginning of Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest send-up of political manners and American exceptionalism.

It’s true that the character Cohen plays, an aggressively bearded tyrant named Admiral General Aladeen who has ruled the North African country of Wadiya since he was 7, embodies all of the absurdities of despotic power, including its preening vanity and chronic insecurity.

As portrayed by Cohen, the egotistical, belligerent Aladeen bumbles through everything — from sexual encounters with paid starlets to the executions he orders for the most innocuous perceived slight — like Uday, Qusay, Larry, Moe and Curly combined. (He describes himself as the last in a long line of now-fallen dictators: “Kim, Gaddafi, Saddam, Cheney.”) Even amid the hit-and-miss broadsides and laugh-free longueurs that make up most of “The Dictator,” Cohen’s acute hypocrisy detector keeps on ticking, if barely. A.H. THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT (R, 124 minutes) A running sight gag has Jason

Segel dressed in a pink bunny suit, which his character, Tom, wore to the New Year’s Eve party where he met Violet (Emily Blunt). She’s dressed as Princess Di, and it’s no wonder that the two hit it off. One year later, Tom proposes to Violet in one of the cutest marry-me sequences staged in recent movie history. The film hits a speed bump right when Tom and Violet do, after they move to Michigan.

Tom can’t find a job and winds up making sandwiches; Violet comes under the sway of a flashy psych professor, and the two begin to grow apart. Because it’s so willing to drill down into Tom’s and Violet’s misery, “The Five-Year Engagement” involves a higher grim-to-grin ratio than its fluffier brethren. But even at its darkest and weirdest, the film seems intent on being as sweet as it is brutally honest. A.H. THE HUNGER GAMES (PG-13, 142 minutes) This adaptation of the hit young adult novel centers on grievous violence and children, who, in author Suzanne Collins’ floridly postapocalyptic future, are subjected to an annual ritual wherein they murder one another as part of a nationwide reality show. That perverse dystopia is brought faithfully, if unspectacularly, to life by director Gary Ross. If the series’ legions of fans miss a detail here or a subplot there, they’ll still recognize its bones and sinew, especially in Jennifer Lawrence’s eagle-eyed heroine, Katniss Everdeen. Lawrence is never less than grounded and believable as a young woman forced by circumstance to asContinued on page 28

sume wisdom far beyond her years. A.H. THE LUCKY ONE (PG-13, 101 minutes) Can a drama be too restrained? “The Lucky One,” adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel, stars Zac Efron in a sudsy romantic melodrama. All great romances hinge on two things: keeping the principals apart and getting them together. When a conclusion is as foregone as the one in “The Lucky One,” the first part of the equation becomes nothing but contrivance and ginned-up conflict. Most of “The Lucky One” consists of proving how sensitive Logan (Efron) is and how put-upon Beth (Taylor Schilling) is as she clatters around her grandmother’s impeccably distressed cottage and affects Veronica Lakeesque bangs-in-the-eye sultriness. A.H. MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS (PG-13, 143 minutes) There were ripples of anticipation when Marvel Enterprises announced that Joss Whedon would direct “Marvel’s The Avengers,” the comic-book movie to end all comic-book movies. The fanboys wondered: What’s his play? “The Avengers” has been executed with all the reverence the superfans demand. The performances are so well-pitched that it’s tempting to overpraise the good but not great movie that surrounds them. Whedon seems to have tamped down his instincts to play up irony and camp. Instead,

he focuses on simply making the characters legible and the story easy to follow.

Bidding goodbye to at least one beloved character and saying hello to another in a tantalizing closing-credits hint, he leaves us wanting more — which, for now at least, is undoubtedly the right play. A.H. THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS (PG, 90 minutes) The charmingly goofy animated feature showcases characters known only as the Pirate Captain, the Pirate With Gout, the Albino Pirate, etc. “The Pirates!” is built around the premise of a reality-TVstyle contest between the Pirate Captain and three other blackguards: Black Bellamy, Cutlass Liz and Peg Leg Hastings.

In his search for ships filled with booty, the Pirate Captain accidentally sacks the HMS Beagle, the research ship of Charles Darwin (voiced by David Tennant), leading to a more landlocked, and delightfully ludicrous, adventure. As with Aardman’s “Wallace and Gromit” films, there’s a sardonic animal sidekick. Perhaps, by the second “Pirates!” film, there will be a character as beloved as Gromit. M.O. THE RAVEN (R, 111 minutes) See the right promotional photo of John Cusack playing Edgar Allan Poe in “The Raven” and it briefly looks like a good idea, but then Edgar Allan Poe walks into a bar and starts talking. Nothing in the actor’s cadence or attitude suggests the story’s 1849 setting. “The Raven” seems content to steal a famous figure’s name and leave any stabs at authenticity to the set and costume designers.

[dj[hjW_dc[dj beeaekj weakened author helps hunt a serial killer he himself has inspired. Director James McTeigue was much more successful capturing graphic novelist Alan Moore’s mood in “V for Vendetta” than he is conjuring the suspense of Poe. JOHN DEFORE SAFE (R, 94 minutes) In 2011, more than 500 people were slain in New York City.

“Safe,” the latest Jason Statham staband-shoot-’em-up, rivals that toll in barely 90 minutes. There’s a backstory to this, and it’s actually sort of witty. But that can’t be discussed, because it would reveal too much about Luke, the killing machine Statham plays here. There’s not much else that’s unconventional about “Safe.” The actor usually plays terse loners, yet they’re always the kind of guys who pick up strays. So it’s no surprise when Luke rescues 11-year-old Mei, a math prodigy transported by gangsters from China to Chinatown because of her photographic recall of numbers. Aside from providing an alternate meaning for the movie’s title, the numbers Mei has memorized don’t provide much of a payoff. But then, “Safe” isn’t very interested in mental processes. It’s more concerned with impossibly fluid fisticuffs. Morally, “Safe” is inexcusable; narratively, it’s absurd. But it’s great fun. MARK JENKINS THINK LIKE A MAN (PG-13, 120 minutes) An all-star revue of some of the most physically stunning actors in Hollywood, “Think Like a Man” is a pleasure if only on a purely sensory level. The nine main characters in “Think Like a Man” might be archetypes-bordering-on-stereotypes, but all manage to resemble authentic human beings, thanks to the terrific actors who play them: Taraji P. Henson, Meagan Good, Regina Hall and Gabrielle Union.

Each of these gorgeous, high-achieving, self-aware women faces a specific dating problem for which Steve Harvey, author of the book the movie is based upon, has just the right advice. Forget hackneyed cliches about Players and Dreamers and the scheming women who seek to domesticate them. Focus on the pleasures of watching a group of gifted actors spar and seduce each other and “Think Like a Man” just might go straight to your head. A.H. THIS IS NOT A FILM (Unrated, 75 minutes) “This Is Not a Film” opens as Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, under house arrest, has breakfast in the sunny, wellappointed apartment he shares with his wife, daughter and a pet iguana named Igi. Panahi methodically records his day, bidding his family good-bye as they embark

on a trip out of town, hanging around with the preternaturally catlike Igi, consulting with his lawyer and finally calling codirector Mojtaba Mirtahmasb to come over and help him film. Cinema is Panahi’s medium, as he goes on to explain while watching his 2003 film “Crimson Gold.”

This is an urgent, affecting self-portrait of an artist who can’t help but frame his world and try to make sense of an oppres-

sive and absurd system around him. A.H. WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING (PG-13, 110 minutes) Since it was first published in 1984, Heidi Murkoff’s “What to Expect When You’re Expecting,” the go-to pregnancy guide with the colorful, quilt-patterned cover, has landed in the hands of an endless stream of expectant moms and dads.

The book’s mission is clear: to shed light

on the scary, exhilarating phase known as new parenthood. The intentions of the ensemble film comedy that shares the book’s title are less obvious. The movie turns out to be a little of everything yet succeeds only occasionally at anything.

The big-name actors arrive onscreen in pairs, marching two-by-two toward the pitfalls of first-time parenthood. For nearly 30 years, Murkoff’s book has main-

tained its staying power by giving readers precisely what its title implies. But what to expect from the movie? Among the hodgepodge of near-death moments and slapstick pratfalls, it’s anybody’s guess.

FWhj e\ Oekh MehbZ5 Animal Planet tries to convince viewers that mermaids exist <_bc As if to salute the summer /0&& silly movie season now upon us, Animal Planet offers the speculative documentary “Mermaids: The Body Found.”

For starters, the network is not calling this a “real” documentary.

Rather, it’s “sci-fi based on some real events and scientific theory.” That’s a rather elastic definition that could very well describe “Jurassic Park.”

“Mermaids” unfolds like your typical conspiracy theory film. The Navy has been testing some new sonar that has disoriented many whales and driven them onshore.

“Independent Lens” (Mon., 10 p.m., PBS) presents the Oscar-nominated documentary “Hell and Back Again,’’ which follows Sgt. Nathan Harris, above, as he fights with his Marine regiment in Afghanistan and returns home to North Carolina severely injured. The film captures his struggles to deal with the enemy and hostile villagers over there and with his physical and psychological wounds back home with the help of his wife, Ashley. (TRIBUNE MEDIA)

Battle Wounds

This apparently is true. Not so certain are the creatures that may have accompanied them — strange mammals seen by two boys who described them to neighbors and authorities until they were pressured by the government to recant!

After establishing the Navy as a bunch of whale-killing bad guys, the film pivots into a speculative look at man’s long evolutionary hiatus spent underwater and the notion that man- or womanlike sea mammals still dwell in the depths.

“Mermaids” may not convince you of deep-water maidens. But it offers a grab-bag of tabloid-genre tricks, including “found” footage, talking-head “experts,” frequent reenactments and the blurry image and garbled voice of a “witness” too frightened to come forward.

“In the age of Tiger Mom parenting, [Priscilla] Chan is the ultimate success story to be retold to countless Asian-American, and in particular ChineseAmerican, daughters.”

explains why the marriage of Chan, who has a bachelor’s degree from Harvard and a medical degree from the University of California San Francisco Medical School, to Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg will, fairly or not, be “proof positive that the extra hours spent in cram schools, the sleepless nights, and the constant pressure to succeed are all worth it.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may want to do a little private research before you find yourself in over your head and unable to get out of a quickly developing situation. Use your head!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) See if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adjust your approach as you progress, as it may be difficult to slow your momentum once it has picked up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You want to transfer some control of a personal situation to another, but he or she may not be ready to take control of key issues.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are asking much of someone who is not adept at on-the-spot planning. You may not want to leave him or her alone just yet.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to travel quickly today in order to catch up to someone who has decided to leave you in his or her dust.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Do you know what you are up to, and do you know why? It may be that you are simply following your instincts without taking any of the necessary precautions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Progress can be made quickly today, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to be sure others are able to see what you are doing and why.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A promise or two will have you wondering if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the right track. It may surprise you to hear what another is willing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or unwilling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to do for you.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

<EKH H79A JEJ7B Make a 2-7 letter word from the letters in each row.

Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Make good use of any extra time you have on your hands today. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to think that a rival will give you a break.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An evening with friends gives your day much more meaning than usual â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll relish the chance to share your feelings.
