Nation U.S.: Snowden Has Set Back International Ties Washington

MedStar Family Choice Great Medicaid health care for your family Now it’s your time to choose.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman says National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden’s disclosures about U.S. surveillance programs have undermined U.S. relationships with other countries and affected what he calls “the importance of trust.” Gen. Martin Dempsey told CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview broadcast Sunday that the U.S. will “work our way back. But it has set us back temporarily.” Russian ofﬁcials say Snowden has been stuck in the transit area of a Moscow airport since arriving on a ﬂight from Hong Kong two weeks ago. Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua have offered asylum. The head of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, said he “absolutely” thinks that one of the countries will give Snowden travel documents. Sen. Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he wasn’t surprised that those nations were

Meanwhile … Russian parliament member Alexei Pushkov on Sunday encouraged NSA leaker Edward Snowden to accept Venezuela’s offer of asylum. “This, perhaps, is his last chance,” Pushkov tweeted. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said Saturday that his country hasn’t yet heard from Snowden but that he expects to consult with Russian officials today about Snowden’s situation. (AP)

offering asylum. “They like sticking it to the United States,” Menendez, D-N.J., told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He also mentioned re-examining U.S. trade policies and foreign aid to any country that might take in Snowden. “Clearly such acceptance of Snowden to any country … is going to put them directly against the United States, and they need to know that,” he said.

Critical PM Position

Cairo Secular and liberal factions in Egypt’s new leadership worked Sunday to reach a compromise with ultraconservative Islamists on a new prime minister, with a liberal economist emerging as a leading candidate for the post to run the country after the military’s ouster of President Mohammed Morsi. As the negotiations continued, shows of strength over the removal of Egypt’s ﬁrst freely elected president were far from ending, with hundreds of thousands in the streets Sunday from each side. The military deployed troops at key locations in Cairo and other cities amid fears of renewed violence. Two days prior, clashes between the rival camps left at least 36 dead and more than 1,000 injured nationwide. The Muslim Brotherhood pushed ahead with its campaign of protests aimed at forcing Morsi’s reinstatement, bringing out large crowds in

Opponents of Egypt’s ousted President Mohammed Morsi burn pictures of President Barack Obama at rallies Sunday that took on strong anti-American sentiment.

new rallies. Its ofﬁcials vowed the group would not be “terrorized” by arrests of their leaders and the shutdown of their media outlets. The Brotherhood’s opponents stirred large rallies in Tahrir Square and elsewhere in Cairo and several cities to defend against an Islamist counter-push. The rallies took on a sharply nationalist tone — with effusive praise of the military and strong

anti-American sentiment over perceived U.S. support for Morsi. Warplanes swooped over the crowd in Tahrir, drawing a heart shape and an Egyptian ﬂag in the sky with colored smoke. In the square, large banners read “Obama, hands off, a message to the USA. Obama supports the terrorists of 911” with a picture of Obama with an Islamist’s beard.

The leading pick: Ziad Bahaa-Eldin, 48, a longtime critic of the Muslim Brotherhood and reform advocate, emerged as a top choice for prime minister in the interim government. The blocked pick: Liberal and secular factions sought to appoint Mohammed ElBaradei, 71, but were blocked by an ultraconservative party. ElBaradei is considered one of the inspirations of the revolutionary groups that led the uprising against Hosni Mubarak in 2011. But many Islamists see him as too secular. Why it matters: The prime minister will likely have strong influence over Egypt’s new constitution. (AP)

The tone seemed aimed at drowning out cries from the Brotherhood and its Islamist allies that the army’s toppling of Morsi was a coup against democracy. The antiAmerican slogans had a doubleedged message: painting the Brotherhood as a tool of Washington and pushing back against U.S. concerns over the military’s moves here.

Quebec Police: 5 Dead in Oil-Train Derailment Lac-Megantic, Quebec As firefighters doused still-burning oil-tanker cars, more bodies were recovered Sunday in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, raising the death toll to five after a runaway train derailed, igniting explosions and fires that destroyed the downtown district.

A New Crop of Farmers Digs In Michael S. Williamson (The WAshington post)

But being a fine hand with the icing spatula didn’t completely prepare him for his new day job: spreading compost on his very own farm near Poolesville, Md. “I’ve spent my life in kitchens that are 130 degrees … but there is no workout like farming,” said Mills, who took to the soil through a new Montgomery County effort to match wannabe farmers with unused farmland in the county’s vast Agricultural Reserve.

Less than 30 miles from the White House, Mills’ farm is a good example of what rural preservationists see as Montgomery’s key strength: tracts of rolling fields on the edge of a sophisticated population center. If the county can capitalize on such booming urban food trends as the “locavore,” organic and slow-food movements, it could help reverse the steady decline of farming in a booming region.

“It seems like some members of the council are interested in moving the goal posts at the 11th hour.” — Ste v en Re stivo, a WalMart spokesman, who said A D.C. council initiative that would force the company to pay at least $12.50 an hour is an unfair bait-and-switch tactic. Many Officials and Advocates counter that wages were rarely, if ever, the prime issue in walmart’s negotiations with politicians, developers, community activists and residents.

Uncertainty High in D.C.’s AG Race Washington In 2010, more than 90,000 District residents voted to start electing the city’s attorney general, making an office that has long been appointed directly accountable to them. Today, with less than eight months until the District’s first attorney general race, it remains far from certain what precisely an elected AG’s duties will be and how he or she will go about the job. Mayor Vincent Gray and his appointed attorney general, Irvin Nathan, are backing legislation that would have about 150 of the office’s 350 attorneys report directly to the mayor. But some D.C. Council

members and other advocates say that pulling more than a third of the city’s lawyers from the attorney general’s chain of command undercuts the intent of having an independently elected legal officer. The uncertainty has several members of the D.C. Council battling over the office’s responsibilities and openly pondering whether to delay the election, perhaps indefinitely. Meanwhile, the city’s first attorney general race is missing a key ingredient: candidates. None have launched a campaign or even flirted publicly with the notion despite ample behind-the-scenes recruiting. Mike Debonis (The WAshington Post )

Cover Story

A Better Chance at Survival

Safety advances on aircraft offer hope — even after a harrowing crash

Developments Possible Pilot Error?

Pilots of Asiana Flight 214 were flying too slowly as they approached San Francisco airport, triggering a warning that the jetliner could stall, and then tried to abort the landing seconds before crashing, according to federal safety officials. (AP)

San Francisco

Clues From the Crash

Witness accounts of the plane’s approach and video of the wreckage led one aviation expert to say the aircraft may have approached the runway too low, hitting the runway lip — part of a seawall at the foot of the runway. San Francisco is one of several airports in the U.S. bordering bodies of water that have walls at the end of their runways to keep planes from ending up in the water. (AP)

The Victims

The two passengers killed were 16-year-old females, a coroner reported, and one appeared to have been thrown from the rear of the plane when the tail broke off. Both are believed to be from China. Investigators said they are looking into the possibility that rescue crews ran over one of the girls. Nineteen people remained hospitalized Sunday, six of them in critical condition. (AP)

EZRA SHAW (GETTY IMAGES)

After nearly 11 hours in the air, South Korea’s Asiana Airlines Flight 214 slammed into the runway at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday morning, breaking off its tail and catching fire before slumping to a stop that allowed the lucky ones to flee down emergency slides into thick smoke and a trail of debris. By the time the 307 people on the flight all were accounted for, two people found outside the wreckage had been confirmed dead and 182 transported to local hospitals. But as harrowing as the crash was, survivors and witnesses were just as stunned to learn that the death toll wasn’t much higher. “When you heard that explosion, that loud boom, and you saw the black smoke … you just thought, my God, everybody in there is gone,” said Ki Siadatan, who watched the plane’s approach from his balcony. “My initial reaction was, ‘I don’t see how anyone could have made it.’ ” In fact, though, passengers in plane crashes today are more likely to survive than in past disasters. Planes now are structurally sounder. In the cabin, stronger seats are less likely to move and crush passengers. Seat cushions and carpeting are fire retardant, and doors are easier to open. Regulators started mandating such cabin improvements after two deadly aircraft fires in the 1980s. Saturday’s crash may have benefited from those changes. The Boeing 777 involved was manufactured in 2005 and contained all of the advances in safety. The nature of crashes themselves has also changed. Improve-

ments in cockpit technology mean that planes rarely crash into mountains or each other — accidents that are much more deadly. Better radar systems on the ground have prevented planes from going down the wrong taxiway or onto active runways. The deadliest aviation disaster in history remains the collision of Pan Am and KLM jets on the runway of Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands in 1977, which killed 583

people. The KLM plane took off while the Pan Am jet was taxing down the same runway. Had such radar existed at the time, the accident likely wouldn’t have occurred. The emergency response also plays a part in limiting fatalities. Airport ﬁre departments frequently hold drills where crews practice coordinating with local hospitals. “Crashes are definitely more survivable today,” said Kevin Hiatt, president and CEO of the Flight

Troubled History

South Korean airlines have a spotty safety history, and in the 1990s and early 2000s, the industry was beset by a series of crashes. One of the industry’s lowest points came in 2001 when the FAA downgraded South Korea’s safety ratings. The restrictions were lifted later that year after Korean officials corrected the safety shortcomings. In each of the past five years, Asiana Airlines, South Korea’s second-largest carrier, was ranked among the top five global airlines by Skytrax. “Asiana’s accident is going to damage the image of not just Asiana, but all Korean airlines,” said Um Kyung A, an analyst at Shinyoung Securities in Seoul. (AP) Safety Foundation, an industrybacked nonprofit group. Just a decade ago, passengers were 10 times as likely to die when flying on an American plane. From 1962 to 1981, 54 percent of people in plane crashes were killed. From 1982 to 2009, that figure improved to 39 percent, according to an Associated Press analysis. Those figures only include crashes with at least one fatality. There have been other serious crashes where everybody survived. The most famous was a US Airways flight in January 2009 that lost engine power after striking a flock of geese after taking off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Capt. Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger ditched the Airbus A320 in the Hudson River and all 155 people onboard survived. Those in the airline industry often say that a person is more likely to die driving to the airport than on a flight. There are more than 30,000 motor-vehicle deaths each year, a mortality rate eight times greater than that in planes. (AP)

Andy Murray is the first British man to win the Wimbledon championship since 1936.

Murray, U.K. Rejoice at Wimbledon From the lawns of Wimbledon to the lochs of Scotland, all of Britain can celebrate. Andy Murray made it possible Sunday, winning his country’s hallowed tennis tournament to become the first British man in 77 years to raise the trophy at the All England Club. Yes, this was history, and Murray’s 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 victory over top-seeded Novak Djokovic was a fitting close to nearly eight decades of British frustration in its own backyard: a hardfought, 3-hour, 9-minute affair filled with long, punishing rallies and a final game that may have felt like another 77 years, with Murray squandering three match points before finally putting it away after four deuces. “The pinnacle of tennis,” Murray called the win. “I worked so hard in that last game, the hardest few points I ever played in my life.” (AP)

The last time the Washington Kastles lost a match, the Redskins were excited about their new quarterback, Donovan McNabb; LeBron James had just made his big “Decision”; and the Nationals had recently spent their No. 1 draft pick on a 17-year-old kid named Bryce Harper. Since that July 22, 2010, loss to the Boston Lobsters, the Kastles have gone on a 32-game winning streak and have won two consecutive World TeamTennis titles. With a win over the New York Sportimes at Kastles Stadium at The Wharf tonight, the Kastles will tie the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers for the longest winning streak in major U.S. pro sports history. They could set a new record with a win over the Lobsters on Tuesday. Venus Williams, who was slated to be on the Kastles side for their potentially history-making ﬁrst two matches of the season, has been sidelined by a back injury. She’ll be replaced by

Joining Hingis will be team veterans Leander Paes, Bobby Reynolds and Anastasia Rodionova. “The challenge for me as a coach is we’ve got ﬁve or six individuals that play an individual sport, and they’re all about taking care of their own business,” coach Murphy Jensen said. “But now we’ve got a situation where the superstar on the team is the name on that front of the jersey and not the

one on the back.” Jensen comes from a family of winners. His mother (with gymnastics) and father (with football and tennis) were two of the winningest coaches in Michigan history. And Jensen himself teamed up with his brother, Luke, to win the 1993 French Open doubles title. Coaching some of the highest-proﬁle tennis stars in a team setting is challenging, but Jensen turned to two coaching greats for advice. “The ﬁrst person I asked about coaching a team like this was Tommy Lasorda,” he said, referring to the former Dodgers manager who led Los Angeles to two World Series titles. “And his message to me was: You just got to get your team to play for one another and I promise you a successful franchise.”

“With history on the line, there is more anticipation for Kastles tennis than ever before.” — MARK EIN, OWNER OF THE WASHINGTON KASTLES

And who would know more about streaks than legendary basketball coach John Wooden? The “Wizard of Westwood” led UCLA to 10 NCAA titles in a 12-year span, winning a record 88 straight games at one point. “[Wooden] never spoke in his Pyramid of Success about records, only process. And I do the same thing,” Jensen said. “I’ve taken what worked for him in the game of basketball and translated it to the world of tennis. … The guy knew what he was doing.” Putting together this streak hasn’t been easy for the Kastles. Seven of their 32 wins have been by a single game, with four going to supertiebreakers, which are needed if matches are tied at the conclusion of ﬁve sets. A 33rd straight victory is no given, especially against a New York team that features tennis legend John McEnroe, but Jensen is conﬁdent. “I’ve got winners on my team,” he said. “I’ve got guys that hate losing, worse than probably most. So they’re willing to do the prep and go through the process.” JEFFREY TOMIK (E XPRESS)

The right-hander allowed seven hits, his most since April 7, and never pitched a 1-2-3 inning. But the San Diego native overpowered the Padres when needed. With Washington leading 7-3 in the ﬁfth and two runners on with two outs, Strasburg struck out Kyle Blanks. Also on Sunday, Washington placed left-handed pitcher Ross Detwiler (lower back strain) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 4.

Stephen Strasburg (5-6) allowed four r uns over six innings. He matched his seas on h i g h w it h nine strikeouts as the Nationals won their fourth straight, the last three of them over San Diego.

The Nationals are four games over .500 for the first time since April 12. San Diego lost the final nine times on its 10-game road trip.

“A culture is what makes your people comfortable and makes them want to show up every day and work with you. ”

I wish they had a word that came in between micro- and macromanagement. I don’t believe in micromanaging. And macromanaging is too hands off. The whole point of leadership is [that] I should be able to be me.

Culture is very important to you. How do you work to create a culture in a business?

How do you facilitate that?

One of the things I do is try not to say I’m too busy. To avoid that happening, I carved out time for my assistant once a week. She has that spot with me once a week. I could be standing at her desk talking to her 15 times a day. But once a week, she has that sacred hour, and we lock the door.

My favorite boss. No matter how busy she was, if you had a question, she stopped whatever she was doing and gave you an answer.

Shopping for Uncle Sam Federal acquisition courses teach the art of spending taxpayer dollars wisely Patti Pace was an executive assistant sitting in on high-level meetings when she realized she wanted a different seat at the table. Pace, who had worked in government, on Capitol Hill and for a nonprofit, wanted to be the one giving advice and making decisions on how to best use resources. “At any government agency or organization, it all comes down to the budget and how to efficiently manage your budget — and now, how to do more with less money,” says Pace, 35, of Silver Spring. The federal government spends more than $400 billion each year on sanitizer and satellites, ketchup and cars, toilet paper and tanks, engineers and engine builders. Behind every decision is a small army of people who decide what to buy and from where to buy it. These are the professional buyers who painstakingly research the options that get the most bang for our tax bucks. Working on acquisitions for the federal government means having a say in what goods and services agencies buy, says Jacques Gansler, who heads a new program offered by the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy (umd.edu) that lets Master of Public Policy students specialize in federal acquisition. To help train workers to meet the demands of slashed federal budgets and the need for more efficient spending, Maryland began offering the four-course specialization in its Master of Public Policy program last year. As the Defense Department’s undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics from 1997

Degrees

to 2001, Gansler oversaw a $180 billion budget. “Everything you and I buy, the government also buys,” he says of the huge amounts of pens and printer paper and light bulbs needed to keep our government running. “Except they also [buy] things we wouldn’t, like nuclear power plants, tanks and planes.” Pace, who expects to graduate from the Maryland program next spring, hopes to become a contracting officer. “I have always felt a desire to serve in the government, and there’s a real need for young people to step up and take leadership roles,” she says. Federal acquisition, she reasoned, seemed like a concrete career skill. “It’s [about] how we meet our goals in a smart and innovative way,” she says. “There’s no vision of the future that looks like we’re going to have a surplus of money, so it’s important to have good people working through those issues.” Learning about acquisition isn’t just for those who want to work for the government. In D.C., where so many companies interact with the federal government, an understanding of how they buy products can never hurt.

Not Glamorous, But Marketable “Acquisitions doesn’t sound glamorous — people would rather study international development,” says Ben Patterson, 27, of College Park, Md. Even people who study international development, however, may need contract management and proposal-evaluation skills one day. “If you’re going to work for the government, there’s a good chance you’re going to be involved in procurement in some way, either overseeing contractors or evaluating proposals,” says Patterson, who was Continued on page E4

among the first Maryland students to earn the specialization in federal acquisition in December 2012. The classes he had to take to earn that specialization taught Patterson different strategies for managing contracts. One was a class devoted to ethics and conflict of interest, “which is extremely important when working with taxpayer dollars,” Patterson says. He’s currently a contract specialist with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration at the Transportation Department, where he researches markets and the regulations that guide the purchase of IT equipment and software, as well as safety equipment such as radiation detectors. The government has rules about where it can buy from, Patterson says. One regulation Patterson works with says that rather than buying specialized goods developed only for government agencies, buyers should purchase commercially available goods (for example, Dell laptops rather than government- or military-specification computers) if the commercial goods meet the agency’s needs. Another regulation says that agencies should use government credit cards to make purchases that cost less than $3,000, rather than using accounts payable offices

or other electronic payment methods, in order to pay vendors faster. What drew Patterson to acquisitions? “I like rules — how they can and cannot apply to things —

and just how regulations are interpreted,” he says. “It’s kind of like light legal work.”

A New Generation Of Buyers “There is no question in my mind that there’s a real shortage of acquisition-experienced and -educated people,” Gansler says. He ran a 2007 commission on Army acquisitions that found only about half of the people in charge of buying and spending had proper acquisition training. This shortcoming led to significant waste and fraud, according to the report. “When

Buying things for the federal government with taxpayer dollars isn’t much different from buying stuff for yourself with your own money: You have to decide what you want and how much you can afford to spend, then consider reliability, incentives and maintenance costs, among other factors. What to buy: “The institutional inertia always wants to buy the things they always bought in the past,” Gansler says, so acquisition specialists look at “how do you shift from horse-and-carriage to modern vehicles and 21st-century [technology].” How to buy: Should you have businesses compete for the contract by submitting bids? Or decide which company to use in another way? Whom you buy from: Government or commercial suppliers? American or foreign suppliers? “You have to be concerned when you’re spending taxpayer money: Are you helping the economy and getting what you need to get, and are you getting the best?” Gansler says. Support costs: If you buy a car, you’ll have maintenance costs. For a ship or aircraft, those costs are enormous. At the Defense Department, some $80 billion of Gansler’s $180 billion budget went toward maintenance, support and logistics. “You want to make stuff that’s lowcost and works well but that continues to work long-term,” he says. C.M.

you’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars,” Gansler says, “it’s clear that experience matters.” In addition to the acquisition specialty in its Master of Public Policy program, the University of Maryland offers a certificate program for those with full-time jobs who have completed the acquisition courses; soon, engineering and business school graduate students will be able to specialize in federal government acquisition, too. Other metro-area universities discuss acquisition in graduate-level public-policy or business-management courses. If you enter the Georgetown Public Policy Institute’s Master of Policy Management-Public Service program (tinyurl.com/lw8lrt6), you’ll learn about acquisition reform in your classes. At the George Washington School of Business, you can learn the federal acquisition process in the government contracts program (business.gwu.edu/msgc). Students building their knowledge of federal acquisition will be the best prepared to face the challenge of getting better goods and services at a lower cost, Gansler says. And that’s a win for taxpayers. In addition, with recent federal budget cuts and sequestration, “offices are now going to have to purchase the same amount of things with less money,” Patterson says. “ T he y ’re goi ng to have to be more creative.” CARRIE MADREN (FOR E XPRESS)

Acquisitions

Robert Ludlow started making artisan chocolates in his parents’ basement. His company, Fleurir Chocolates, now has locations in Old Town Alexandria and Georgetown.

Bread for Chocolate A chocolatier makes his dough working with sweet stuff Robert Ludlow, 28 SALARY: $50,000-$60,000 POSITION: Chocolatier/owner, Fleurir Chocolates (fleurirchocolates .com, 202-465-4368)

WHAT HE DOES: Ludlow can make the sun rise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it with choc’late and a miracle or two. He can because he’s a candy man, well, more specifically, a chocolate man. Along with his wife, Ashley Hubbard, 27, and a handful of smiling employees, Ludlow — the self-styled “mad genius” behind Fleurir Chocolates in Georgetown (3235 P St. NW) and Old

Town (724 Jefferson St., Alexandria) — churns out artisan chocolates daily. Individually designed fine chocolates are the heart — er, creamy center — of Fleurir’s business. Ludlow and gang start by making 14-by-14-inch trays of ganache, the gooey center that gives each square its unique flavor. “My favorite is Lavender Shiraz,” Ludlow says. “It’s [local] lavender steeped with cream, and it’s balanced with a South Australian Shiraz.” After the ganache is cut into 1-inch squares, the naked morsels head to an “enrober” machine to ride through a shower of chocolate that hardens into an outer shell. The finishing touch is a graphic

design in cocoa butter on the top of each square. HOW HE GOT THE JOB: While a culinary student at Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney in 2006, Ludlow landed his first candy-making job at a local shop. Back in the States in 2007, Ludlow went full-on choc by joining the staff of Gearhart’s Fine Chocolates in Charlottesville, Va. “They taught me that you can really have fun and not have a very strict environment, but you can still produce amazing things,” he says. He decided he wanted to produce his own amazing things and in 2009 persuaded his parents to let him build a

STEAL THIS JOB

WHO WOULD WANT THIS JOB:

A love of chocolate is not enough. You also need the patience of an artist. “Chocolate’s really fickle. It’s not easy to work with,” Ludlow says. On the plus side, you get to be as creative as you want with it, he says. And, as a shop-owner, you get to meet lots of people, which he enjoys. “We’ve had a number of customers come in and bring us baby presents,” he says. “It’s been phenomenally nice.” HOW YOU CAN GET THIS JOB:

While you don’t need a culinary degree, Ludlow says it helps. “Half of chocolate making is knowing what to do when things go wrong,” he says. To open your own chocolate business, you need substantial start-up dollars for equipment. An enrober can run around $35,000. “A lot of the money [you make in] the first few years goes directly back into the company,” Ludlow says. TRACY KRULIK (FOR EXPRESS)

D.C.’s homegrown salad shop has found great success — and it goes beyond greens Local Business Back in 2009, when the founders of Sweetgreen opened their second store in Dupont Circle, they found themselves in over their heads. Unlike their ﬁrst salad-and-frozen-yogurt restaurant in Georgetown, which had achieved instantaneous success, Dupont Circle was proving a harder sell. For one, the three founders — all recent grad-

uates of Georgetown University — didn’t have any real ties to the neighborhood. So they thought they’d try some music. The trio went to Guitar Center, bought a huge sidewalk speaker and began blasting music. “We wanted people to know that this wasn’t just about healthy food,” said Jonathan Neman, one of the company’s co-founders. “There are real people behind this.” In the six years since its founding, the company has become a homegrown success story.

There are 18 shops now, including a newly opened store in Boston, with plans to open the 19th in New York this summer. “ We s t a r t e d t h i s c ompany because we wanted to solve a problem: We wanted better food,” co-founder Nicolas Jammet said. Those early jam sessions in Dupont Circle led to regular parking lot parties and, eventually, to the annual Sweetlife Festival at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in

Sweetgreen co-founders Nicolas Jammet, left; Nathaniel Ru, upper right; and Jonathan Neman met at Georgetown University.

Columbia, Md. “It literally went from 1,000 people in a parking lot to 20,000 people at one of the most iconic venues in the region,” Neman said. The music festival, now in its third year, recently featured three stages with such bands as Passion Pit, Phoenix and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. “They have successfully created a hip identity that people can relate to,” said Seth Hurwitz, co-owner of the 9:30 Club and booker for the festival.

Set Up During the Recession Nema n, Ja m me t a nd fel low co-founder Nathaniel Ru came up with the idea for Sweetgreen while they were students at Georgetown. “All of us had an entrepreneur-

ship bug,” Neman said. “As everyone else was doing senior week activities, we had our hard hats on.” The trio opened their f irst Sweetgreen store in August 2007, three months after graduating from college. The hardest part, they say, was securing funding for the 560-square-foot restaurant. They cobbled together $300,000 from investors and received a $50,000 loan from the Latino Economic Development Center. Continued on page E8

“We started this company because we wanted to solve a problem: We wanted better food.”

JEFFREY MACMILLAN/THE WASHINGTON POST

In some ways, the timing of the restaurant’s opening couldn’t have been better. The country was about to enter a deep recession, and consumers were looking for affordable, healthy options. Higher-end establishments ﬂoundered, but quick-service eateries seemed to be doing OK. “Ever since the recession started in 2007, the restaurant industry has not been doing very well,” said Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant analyst for the research ﬁrm NPD Group. “We’ve never seen weakness of this magnitude, but the real bright spot in the industry has been fast-casual.” For a few months, Sweetgreen was the only salad-centric fastcasual restaurant in town. That is, until November 2007, when New York City-based Chop’t opened up shop in Penn Quarter. “We really had to focus on what made us different,” Neman said.

Molly Appelbaum, left, works at Sweetgreen’s Chinatown offices. H.R. Director Kristen Piersante, right, works with Deanna Arthur.

The company started offering more locally grown ingredients and began Sweetgreen in Schools, a volunteer program that focuses on nutrition and sustainability education at nearby schools. Today, Sweetgreen has annual revenue of more than $25 million, with sales rising about 50 percent every year.

Little Surprises The company calls them “Random acts of sweetness.” On rainy days, employees have been known to cover nearby bicycle seats with shower caps and attach cheeky notes (“We’ve got your butt covered”) with gift cards. They also dole out freebies to loyal customers, Twitter followers and, increas-

lists to frequent customers. “We can look at our data and say, ‘We noticed you really love avocados, so we’re sending you a case of avocados,’ ” Neman said. “Or, ‘You always get the same dressing. Here’s the recipe for it.’ ” The company continues to evolve, its three founders say. But they’re not quite sure what’s next. “Each of our ideas has grown out of our core business,” Jammet said. “We want anything else we do to be just as connected to our community and our customers.” ABHA BHAT TAR AI, (CAPITAL BUSINESS)

Kanye didn’t care about satisfying radio with his latest album. Neither does Jay-Z. “Magna Carta Holy Grail,” the rapper’s 12th album, doesn’t have the pop or mainstream appeal of his past records. The 16-track set, mostly helmed by Timbaland, is full of robust and moody hip-hop beats that maintain a nice groove, but

Magna Carta Holy Grail Jay-Z

don’t expect any booming anthems or party jams here. Like Kanye, there isn’t a single or music video ahead of the album’s release, which ofﬁcially came out Sunday though up to 1 million Samsung mobile phone users were able to download the album for free on July Fourth. With the exception of rapping about fatherhood, lyrically, “Magna Carta” doesn’t tell us anything new

about the superstar. We all know how he rose from selling drugs in the Brooklyn projects to becoming arguably the most important rapper of all time, his multiplatinum feats, his awards and the beneﬁts of having Beyonce at his side. But while Jay-Z continues to make headlines away from music, this album treads familiar ground, which makes the album — dare we say it? — average. He’ll remind you — a couple of times — that Samsung bought 1 million copies of the record and gave it away three days early — on songs like “Somewhere in America.” There’s similar ﬂavor lyrically on “Tom Ford,”

W hile Jay-Z works well with Timberlake, his collaborations with Beyonce and Frank Ocean on “Part II (On the Run)” and “Ocean” rely too much on the R&B singers. There are other big names on the album, including Rick Ross, Pharrell and Nas, but “Magna Carta” isn’t designed like albums in the past. There are no catchy hooks to grab you in. The most excitement about the album hasn’t been generated by the music but its promotion plan: Jay-Z announced the album in a commercial during the NBA Finals and launched a series of videos explaining the recording process. He’s continuing to create new blueprints to debut his music. That should be congratulated, but the songs on “Magna Carta” don’t boom like his business plan. “Knock me to my knees about a million times, uncle said I’ll never sell a million records, I sold a million records like a million times,” he raps on “Crown.” Yes, you’ve defied the odds, but we want a little more from the king.

A ‘Fracking’ Disaster In ‘Gasland II,’ experts and victims detail the cons of drilling for gas Documentary “Gasland II” continues f ilmmaker Josh Fox’s efforts to alert viewers to the dangers of hydraulic fracturing, popularly known as “fracking.” Fox begins “Gasland II” with audio clips praising gas drilling from the likes of President Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. As in his first film, Fox visits farmers, ranchers and homeowners whose lives and properties have been left worthless by contaminated water supplies. Beyond these anecdotes, Fox paints a chilling portrait of state governments cooperating with gas companies to harass and demonize opponents of gas drilling. Arguably, the most powerful ﬁgure in Fox’s ﬁlm is Tony Ingraffea, a Cornell University professor of HBO

The process requires cement casings around the drilling pipes to keep natural gas from escaping into water supplies, wells and aquifers. Citing the gas industry’s own research, Ingraffea shows that 1 in 20 cement casings fail immediately and that many more break down over time. With tens
