â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gang of Sixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Targets Tax Breaks A new bipartisan plan to reduce government borrowing would target some of the most cherished tax breaks enjoyed by millions of families â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those promoting health insurance, home ownership, charitable giving and retirement savings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in exchange for lowering overall tax rates for everyone. Many taxpayers would face higher taxes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a total of at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade, and perhaps more.

difficult issues, leaving it to congressional committees to fill in the details later. But supporters say it provides a framework to simplify the tax code, making it easier for businesses and individuals to comply while eliminating incentives to game the system. President Obama and senators from both parties lauded the plan as a possible breakthrough in negotiations to allow the government to
incur further debt and avert a possible default on U.S. obligations on Aug. 2. Some congressional leaders, however, said the plan lacks details and could produce much bigger tax increases than advertised. The Republican staff of the House Budget Committee issued a critique saying the revenue increase could exceed $2 trillion over the next decade, when compared to current tax policy.
The plan would simplify the tax code by reducing the number of tax brackets from six to three, and lowering the top rate from 35 percent to somewhere between 23 percent and 29 percent. That could provide a windfall for wealthy taxpayers because the 35 percent tax bracket currently applies to taxable income above $379,150. To help pay for lower rates, the plan would reduce popular tax breaks for mortgage interest, health insurance, charitable giving and retirement savings. Other tax breaks would be spared, including the $1,000-per-child tax credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit, which helps the working poor stay out of poverty. STEPHEN OHLEMACHER (AP)

Mass of trapped hot, humid air ushers in extreme temperatures 9^_YW]e
If the extreme heat and humidity lingering over much of the nation feels like a steam bath, it’s because the same principles are at work in the atmosphere. Vast amounts of warmth and moisture have become trapped under a huge “heat dome,” bringing record-breaking temperatures and thick, topical air to scores of cities from North Dakota to the Ohio Valley. Now the system is moving east to spread the misery to some of the country’s most densely populated areas through the weekend. “It’s hot no matter what you’re doing or where you are,” said Tim Prader, a 50-year-old construction worker who was taking a break Tuesday at a job site in St. Louis.
*,&
?jÊiDejKdkikWb While heat domes aren’t uncommon, this one is unusual because of its size and duration. It began three days ago and may last seven to 10 days in some locations. And it’s moving eastward, with temperatures expected to reach 100 degrees in Washington by Thursday. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration records show that the United States broke 25 local high records for the date on Monday, including 103 degrees in both Edgemont, S.D., and Victoria, Texas. (AP)
The oppressive conditions extend from the northern Plains states to Texas and from Nebraska to the Ohio Valley. And they’re expanding eastward. When a high-pressure system develops in the upper atmosphere, the air below it sinks and compresses because there’s more weight on
top, causing temperatures in the lower atmosphere to heat up, said Eli Jacks, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. The dome of high pressure also pushes the jet stream and its drier, cooler air, farther north into Canada while hot, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico circulates clockwise around the dome, traveling farther inland than normal. That also explains why temperatures in, say, North Dakota this week aren’t all that different from temperatures in Houston, he said. The big difference is that people in Houston are accustomed to hot weather, while those in the north are not. What’s more, because of the humidity, even nighttime brings little relief. No widespread deaths have been reported, but the heat sent dozens of people to hospitals. Relief is on the way. By Monday, temperatures will drop into the mid-80s in the north. TAMMY WEBBER (AP)

Prime Minister David Cameron faced a parliamentary debate on Wednesday hours after the release of a scathing report accusing the Metropolitan Police and News International of missteps in the phone hacking cases.

BedZed Prime Minister David Cameron dragged his political foes into Britain’s phone-hacking scandal Wednesday, as he sought to distance himself from his former aide at the heart of the allegations and denied that his staff had tried to thwart police investigations. Cameron, who left Africa early to address the emergency session of Parliament, defended his decision to hire ex-News of the World editor Andy Coulson as his communications chief. Coulson was arrested this month, along with nine others, in connection with the tabloid’s alleged practice of intercepting voicemails to get scoops. Cameron reminded lawmakers Wednesday that he has yet to be found guilty of anything.

Serbia Nabs Prominent War Crimes Fugitive By arresting suspect, nation fulfills terms for EU candidacy 8[b]hWZ["I[hX_W The last fugitive sought by the U.N.’s Balkan war crimes tribunal was seized by Serbian secret police Wednesday morning as an accomplice delivered him cash in a remote mountain forest.

‘Responsibility To Act’ Somalia’s famine has claimed tens of thousands of lives, the U.N. says DW_heX_"A[doW An unfolding famine in parts of southern Somalia has killed tens of thousands of people, mostly children, the United Nations said Wednesday in an official declaration of what aid officials describe as the worst humanitarian crisis in the country in two decades. The famine declaration comes months after U.N. and other aid agencies began sounding the alarm about a devastating drought in the Horn of Africa, where an estimated 10 million people are in need of help. The crisis has been aggravated by civil strife, low rainfall rates not seen in half a century and sharp
increases in food prices. “Somalia is facing its worst food security crisis in the last 20 years,” Mark Bowden, the top U.N. official in charge of humanitarian aid to Somalia, told reporters, adding that an infusion of $300 million is needed in the next two months to help alleviate the crisis.
:Wd][heki=hekdZ For nearly two decades, Somalia has grappled with civil war and ineffective governments. Today, a weak and corrupt transitional government, backed by the United States and its allies, is in place, with little ability to address the crisis. Much of its energy is focused on preventing the capital, Mogadishu, from being overtaken by the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab militia. This time, the famine is unfolding in the southern Somali regions of Bakool and Lower Shabelle, which are largely controlled by al-

Officially declared when acute malnutrition rates among children exceed 30 percent and when more than two people per 10,000 die every day, according to the U.N.’s Mark Bowden. Today, malnutrition rates in Somalia are the highest in the world; in some parts of the south, more than half of all children are severely malnourished. In some areas of Bakool and Lower Shabelle, six children per 10,000 under the age of 5 are dying every day, Bowden said. (T WP)
8WYaijeho In 1992, hundreds of thousands of Somalis starved to death, prompting a U.S.-led peacekeeping force to intervene. Within months, the force was engaged in an intense conflict to uproot Somali warlords. It eventually withdrew the next year after 18 U.S. soldiers were killed in a battle, an incident portrayed in the book and movie “Black Hawk Down.” (T WP)
Shabab. Bowden said that nearly half of Somalia’s 3.7 million people face hunger, malnutrition and other related problems. Of those, 2.8 million live in the south. “If we don’t act now, famine will spread to all eight regions of southern Somalia within two months, due to poor harvests and infectious diseases,” Bowden said. “We still do not have all the resources for food, clean water, shelter and health services to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Somalis.”

7:[Yb_d[_d7_Z Humanitarian funding to help Somalia has declined since 2008, U.N. officials say. The U.S., once Somalia’s largest donor, has reduced humanitarian funding by 88 percent, according to a September 2010 report of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The decline came after the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, concerned about the diversion of aid by Islamic militants, imposed restrictions on agencies working in areas controlled by al-Shabab and froze some funding in March 2009.

This year alone, it has provided more than $431 million in food and other emergency assistance to the eastern Horn of Africa, making it the region’s largest donor nation. But some aid agencies criticized the United States and other Western donors for failing to respond to the crisis quickly enough. “The crisis has been building for several months, but the response from international donors and regional governments has been mostly slow, inadequate and complacent, ” Fran Equiza, the regional director of the British aid agency Oxfam, said in a statement. “There has been a catastrophic breakdown of the world’s collective responsibility to act.” SUDARSAN R AGHAVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST )

M^e=[jiFh_eh_joI[Wj_d]5 When the seats say for handicap and seniors, how old does one have to be to be senior? Well, that’s an interesting question, and I’m not sure there’s a right answer. To qualify for the reduced “senior” fare, you have to be 65. But to qualify for the priority seats, you don’t need to have a specific disability, and I don’t believe you have to be a certain age. You just have to need the seat. The able-bodied person occupying the seat isn’t supposed to judge whether you’re disabled enough or old enough. The person is just supposed to do the right thing and stand up.
It seems like Metro’s putting in good designs (poles on every seat, non-skid flooring, better signage, etc.) in the new rail cars. I noticed that they say that the cars are matched in pairs of four rather than two. So wouldn’t this mean that they would lose the option to run six-car trains and be forced to run eight- or four-car trains instead? There’s nothing stopping Metro at some point in the future from operating these new 7000 series cars as four-car trains, rather than eightcar trains. But that certainly isn’t the way Metro planning is going. The goal has been to provide more eight-car trains.

Do you have any thoughts on how Kwame Brown’s sacking of Tommy Wells as Public Works and Transportation Committee chair will affect transportation priorities in D.C.? Tommy Wells hadn’t really had a chance to develop as a Metro board member, but he was doing a fine job as a defender of the interests of transit users. There was nothing about his performance as a Metro board member that would have caused a mayor to remove him. That said, I think D.C. has some Metro priorities that won’t change. It wants bus fares to stay low and would rather see parking rates go up than fares. Those bottom line things won’t change.
What the heck was going on at the Silver Spring Metro station Monday morning? About 7:20, a train pulled in (marked Silver Spring), just sat there for a few minutes, then ﬂipped its sign to Grosvenor and proceded down the wrong side of the tracks. Didn’t let passengers get on ﬁrst. And I didn’t see any other trains turning around at Silver Spring for the next 10 minutes or so. VERY odd. What you describe about the train’s switching signs sounds to me like one of the things Metro does when it’s trying to get a line back on schedule. There’s a rail switch south of Silver Spring. Metro can bring in Glenmont-bound trains on either track, change the sign for Grosvenor and board passengers.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Wednesday morning reversed its decision to locate a Metro station at Dulles International Airport underground, bowing to pressure from its partners on the project to extend rail service to Loudoun County. The authority, which is managing construction of the 23-mile rail line, voted in April to approve the site near the main terminal, despite the fact that it cost more
than an aboveground location farther away. However, the board was hammered by state and local officials and some members of Congress concerned about the rising price tag for the second phase of the rail extension, now estimated to cost $3.5 billion. On Wednesday afternoon, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will host the latest in a series of meetings to try to trim the costs of Phase 2. LaHood wants the Commonwealth of Virginia; Fairfax and Loudoun counties; Metro and the airports authority to agree to millions of dollars in cost savings. The proposal is meant to spread the pain among local, state and

The legislation, which passed by a unanimous vote on Tuesday, is intended to make owners, promoters and others involved with security at music venues in the county more responsible for violence occurring around them. Police say 61 deaths have occurred at or been linked to county dance halls since 2005. (AP)

Many other details remain to be worked out. “We couldn’t make progress so long as [the underground location] was something to beat up on us about,” authority board chairman Charles D. Snelling said after the meeting. “We’re no longer the excuse or the whipping boy.” Snelling said he wants the board to formally adopt an agreement with all of the project’s partners at its August meeting.

The headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department likely will be the new home of the sole business properly licensed to transfer out-ofstate firearms into the District. Charles W. Sykes, who closed his business in April after losing a lease on Good Hope Road SE, will pay the city $100 a month to operate out of the headquarters building on Indiana Avenue NW, where handgun registrations are processed.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
NFL Players Association President Kevin Mawae
Work remains to ﬁnalize an agreement to end the NFL lockout Fhe<eejXWbb NFL player representatives met Wednesday in downtown D.C. to decide whether to recommend that all players approve a proposed 10-year deal that would end the sport’s lockout. While there was hope that ratification vote by all the players was possible as soon as Wednesday night, a source told the Associated Press that the climactic action would have to wait at least a day. “Our goal today is to see what’s on the table [and] discuss the outlying issues that may or may not still be there,” NFL Players Association President Kevin Mawae said at a morning news conference. “But make no mistake about it: The players are not in a rush. . . . We’re not tied to a timeline of July 21. Indeed, sources said there remained work to do to finalize an agreement between owners and players, and there would be no vote Wednesday. A vote was possible on Thursday.
C[Wdm^_b[$$$ Seventy-five former players sued the NFL, claiming it concealed information about the danger of concussions for decades. Raymond Clayborn, Ottis Anderson and Mark Duper are among the plaintiffs in the negligence, fraud and liability suit that was filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Many players’ wives also are plaintiffs. The suit alleges the NFL knew as early as the 1920s of the harmful effects of concussions but concealed them from coaches, trainers, players and the public until June 2010. It also names helmet-maker Riddell, the NFL’s official helmet supplier. It seeks unspecified damages. (AP)
“We want to go back to work,” Mawae said. “But we’re not going to agree to any deal unless it’s the right deal for all the players.” Several people with knowledge of the deliberations said they expected both sides to ratify the proposal. The 32 team owners could vote on it Thursday in Atlanta. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and owners on the league’s bargaining committee met Wednesday in Atlanta. If the deal is approved, operations likely will resume by early
next week. Teams are scheduled to open training camps in the next few days. The preseason is scheduled to open Aug. 7 with the Hall of Fame Game between the Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams, and the regular season is scheduled to start Sept. 8 with the Green Bay Packers hosting the New Orleans Saints. In the meantime, hundreds of players eligible for free agency will have to scramble to find teams. Free agency could begin by early next
week, likely starting with a threeday window for teams to re-sign their own free agents. Teams also must sign the rookies they drafted in April and undrafted rookies. Free agent signings and trades of players have been on hold during the lockout, which began March 12.

Humberto Quintero singled to right field before advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt. He took third on a single by Michael Bourn to set up Michaels’ ga me-w inner to center off Todd Coffey (3-1) that gave the Astros consecutive wins for the first time in more than a month. Neither team got a hit in a scoreless 10th inning before Jayson Werth doubled with one out in the 11th. Wilton Lopez (2-4) retired the next two Nationals to end the scoring threat. Houston rookie Jose Altuve picked up his first major league hit with a single to right field off Tyler Clippard with two outs in the ninth. Clippard walked Hunter Pence before retiring Carlos Lee to send it to the 10th. Werth had three hits and drove in Washington’s only runs with a two-run homer that tied it 2-all in the sixth inning.

We’re on a magical journey. Styles and my other guide, Jennifer Harris, are two of the three directors of “Pop!,” a Studio Theatre 2ndStage production billed as “a musical murder-mystery extravaganza.” We establish early on that
the moniker isn’t exactly accurate: The show’s not a mystery, and there’s no murder. But there is music. And it’s certainly an extravaganza. Up the stairs we go, only to face two more doors. On show nights, one will open to regular theatergoers, and the other will be for the special people, the people who come dressed as if they were going to Andy Warhol’s Factory — say, people wrapped in aluminum foil. Those people (you could be one, if you have enough foil) get to sit in a VIP section. The windows in the theater are papered with foil. Warhol’s movies play on loops in the foyer. It’s less a set than a recreation of Warhol’s famous ’60s
8WYaijeho Spoiler alert: Valerie Solanas shot Andy Warhol. The radical Factory hanger-on called for the elimination of money and men in her SCUM Manifesto, and apparently thought she’d start with a bang. The incident inspired the 1996 film “I Shot Andy Warhol.”

New York City art space, perfect for telling the story of the attempt on his life there in 1968. As it turns out, the mystery isn’t who shot Andy Warhol; the mystery IS Andy Warhol. “You could do a murder mys-
tery about a nonfatal shooting because the person who’s shot is so purposefully vacant and opaque that they still can’t figure out who did it because he didn’t want to talk about it,” Styles says. “A lot of Andy’s art is [also] very flat and literal and ordinary. What does it mean? The other characters in the show are trying to figure out what he means, and he doesn’t give a lot away.” “The point is that any of them could have shot him,” says Keith Alan Baker, the show’s third director and the artistic director of the 2ndStage program. “Any of them had motive.” FIONA ZUBLIN (E XPRESS) Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; through Aug. 7, $38-$43; 202-3323300, Studiotheatre.org.

J^[MWhWj>ec[ Civil War buffs breathe life into history with a major staging of the First Battle of Bull Run
On July 21, 1861, the First Battle of Bull Run — or, the First Battle of Manassas to Confederate forces — became the first major clash of the Civil War. The battle was a Confederate win and set the stage for the four years of increasingly vicious bloodshed that were to follow, including the Second Battle of Bull Run, in 1862. The traffic and organizational logistics of 1961’s 100th anniversary Bull Run re-enactment at Manassas National Battlefield Park (the site of the actual battle) were so overwhelming that the National Park Service banned re-enactments on Park Service land — part of the reason this one will take place on nearby private property at Pageland Farm. F.Z.
Spectators are welcome at Bull Run, but it’s important to remember that this is a serious affair. We asked Ann Marie Maher, executive director for Discover Prince William and Manassas, which hosts the event, for some etiquette tips. F.Z.
'
Are the guys in costumes going to talk like they’re from 1861? “If it’s a formal program, they speak [in character] in the first person,” Maher says. “If they’re wandering through the camps, they’ll answer questions in present-day terms.”
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
When Robert Lee Hodge meets someone new, he might mention his interest in the Civil War. His impressive beard is the first clue that this an understatement. This weekend, Hodge (and his beard) will join 8,700 other participants at historic Manassas National Battlefield Park for a full-scale re-enactment of the First Battle of Bull Run — the first near the battle’s actual site in 50 years. The program is part of a monthlong series of events in Northern Virginia marking the 150th anniversary of the first major battle of the Civil War. Hodge, below right, prefers to be called a “historical interpreter.” He’s been doing re-enactments for 30 years, as both a Union and a Confederate soldier. Like many reenactors, he’s in the game less for the politics and more for the rush of maintaining historical accuracy. At 44, he makes his living from the Civil War — as a filmmaker, writer, researcher and tour guide. Hodge — who will portray a Confederate soldier in this weekend’s battle — is what’s known in re-enactor circles as a “hardcore.” He haunts the Library of Congress and National Archives for primary sources that tell him what it was like to be a soldier in the 1860s. He especially prizes the hi-res scans of historical battle photography, as they give him a better view of the stitching on the soldiers’ coats. Any re-enactment involving so many people is bound to include some with a looser commitment to history than Hodge’s. Re-enactors who value the dramatic over the accurate get the label “farb” — no one is sure of its etymology — for such cheap tricks as fake blood or modern-day cheats like using sunscreen and bug spray for a day of

lying “dead” on the field. Hodge is willing to cut those guys a break. “[You get thousands of] people dressed up, and of course they vary in quality of uniform,” he says. “But at a distance, you get to see that motion, humanity moving. And although it isn’t perfect, it looks pretty cool.” FIONA ZUBLIN (E XPRESS)

Gates open at 6:30 a.m. for spectators and, after the battle, “living history” programs about Civil War medicine and photography continue until the site closes at 2 p.m. Other events: Nearby Manassas National Battlefield Park (12521 Lee Highway, Manassas, Va., 703-361-1339) is hosting related events all weekend, including walking tours, lectures and a performance by the Quantico Marine Corps Band Saturday night.

Can I take pictures with them? Can I touch their hats? Most re-enactors will be happy to take pictures with you, Maher says, but you should ask. “If you’re approaching someone on a horse, you’d naturally ask, ‘Is it OK to pet your horse?’ or ‘Can I touch your saber?’”

J[WY^\eh<hedj_[h7c[h_YW 8eeai Tales of privileged individuals temporarily embracing lower-class life are a staple of modern pop culture; look at “Green Acres,” “The Simple Life” and “Undercover Boss.” But bac k i n 1916, long before anyone had even heard of television, two young Wickenden Victorian ladies — who, conveniently, happened to be avid chroniclers of their own lives — pursued momentous fish-out-of-water experiences. Smith-educated socialites Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamund Underwood left behind comfortable
yet boring lives in Auburn, N.Y., for one-year teaching positions at a schoolhouse in rural Colorado — a move that w a s u n he a rd of for women of their era and upbr inging. Nearly a century later, Dorothy Wickenden’s “Nothing Daunted” ($26, Scribner) recounts their tale. Wickenden, who’s executive editor of the New Yorker and also Woodruff’s granddaughter, was inspired to research the story after discovering her grandmother’s letters from that year — which included horseback rides to work, blizzards and a dramatic kidnapping. What sets this apart from a regular family history?
It isn’t just a family story. It’s also a story of industrial east meets west, set 100 years ago. You don’t often
Both women come across as very positive about their experience, even though it seems like they were roughing it.

Do you think there’s anything she and Rosamund purposely left out of their letters?

‘The Etruscans’ offers insight into an early, advanced civilization Cki[kci A couple immortalized on a lifesize carved-stone sarcophagus set the tone for the National Geographic Museum’s “The Etruscans” exhibition about the ancient society, which reached its height of power in the sixth century B.C. in what are now the Italian regions of Tuscany and Lazio. A reclining man reaches his arm out to touch the back of the woman sitting next to him. She gently tilts her head in his direction. They seem to project contentment — and a mutual fondness that’s not typically associated with nearly 3,000-year-old

civilizations. “So often when you see a man and woman together [in ancient representations], there’s no interaction. You might see them side by side, but not with this obvious familiarity and affection,” says
Susan Norton, the museum’s director. “Women had a certain level of respect and honor in that society, and they certainly weren’t brushed to the side.” That’s just one of many stereotypes quashed by “The Etruscans,”
and its more than 450 artifacts. The Etruscan culture predated the Roman Empire, and was far more sophisticated than the prehistoric, survivalist society many people assume it was. “What’s going to surprise people about this exhibit is the breadth of objects and also the type of objects in it,” Norton says, pausing in front of a display of ancient jewelry — some of it, including beaded necklaces, hardly distinguishable from the creations sold at Eastern Market today. “There are sarcophagi, there are urns, but there’s just so much more, and so much of it is beautiful. This was not utilitarian; these were actually gorgeous pieces.” All of the works — from a 7-footlong sarcophagus featuring a plump, reclining oenophile (a final resting place for a guy who apparent-
There was one letter that Dorothy wrote to her older sister Anna, who had asked her, “Are you really as happy as you say you are?” Dorothy said, “I could so easily be homesick if I let myself, but I can’t.” My grandmother was this very stoic, makethe-best-of-every-circumstance kind of person. She watched the western women who had nothing and they never complained. How did writing this book impact your view of your grandmother?
It’s confirmed what I loved about her. How many times does a middleaged woman get to know her grandmother at the age of 29, before she was married? KATIE ABERBACH (EXPRESS) Politics and Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW; Fri., 7 p.m.; free; 202-3641919, Politics-prose.com. (Van Ness)

It’s easy to see how elements from this ancient civilization persist today in Italy. The Etruscans threw plenty of banquets and highly valued the food they served with ornate clay bowls. They were also avid olive oil makers and consumers — which they may have learned from the Greeks. And “it’s thought that their wine was particularly delicious and potent,” Norton says. That’s one thing we hope the Italians never change. K ATIE ABERBACH (E XPRESS) National Geographic Museum, 1600 M St. NW; through Sept. 25, $8; 202857-7700, Nglive.org/dc. (Farragut North)

Unlike the other rappers on the tour — Kanye West protégé Big Sean, Curren$y and Big K.R.I.T. — none of the Taylor Gang has a proper album out. Yet Miller, on the strength of his mixtapes and Khalifa association, sold out the 9:30 Club in May on the first day tickets went on sale. Khalifa knows it pays to keep your friends close and your posse even closer — at least when they can rack up ticket sales like that. Remember: Merriweather is a big-ass joint (no pun intended).

(This installation marks its 2.0 incarnation.) “When they opened the box, inside were probably some very rusty computers and some shriveled CD-ROMs,” he laughs. He worked with museum staff via Skype to customize the work for the space and coach curators on how to display the piece with new hardware. Being both creator and conservator comes with the territory for a computer artist. “The bigger problem is finding a museum that’s not having a heart attack when something like that happens,” he says.

<_bc When Lisa See published “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan” in 2005, she introduced many American readers to “nu shu,” a written language used exclusively by Chinese women for centuries to communicate with each other despite being confined in their homes for most of their lives. In the big-screen adaptation of “Snow Flower” that hits theaters Friday, See’s 19th-century tale of two lifelong girlfriends is combined with a parallel story line about a modern-day friendship in Shanghai. Though the author didn’t work on the film in an official capacity, she read scripts and offered suggestions as she watched her work come to life in director Wayne Wang’s hands. How do you feel about the modernday additions to your story?
What I like about the modern part of the story is that it gives an insider’s feel of Shanghai today. They’ve really gotten into the city in a contemporary way. There’s, for example, one scene that was filmed at a club called Shelter [which is housed inside a Cold War-era underground bomb shelter]. Now, if you and I

The thing that mattered to me most was the idea of what people will go through for friendship and what they will go through to be heard. Those women had bound feet, they lived in an upstairs room from the time they were 5 until they died,

Hugh Jackman is in this movie.
Not in the book. [Laughs.] He’s in the modern part of the story; he’s a nightclub owner. He sings, he dances. Were you surprised about that casting choice?

A great documentary will make you want to stand up and throw stuff, either in exceeding joy or flat-out rage. “Project Nim,” opening Friday at the E Street Cinema, falls into the latter category. From James Marsh, who directed the amazing “Man on Wire,” comes the story of Nim, a chimpanzee who’s taken from his mother (just like all of her offspring) and raised in a human family as part of a language-acquisition experiment. He goes on to live with graduate students and learns sign language. And then he slowly gets less cute and more dangerous, and then bad stuff starts to happen and you’ll be glad theater seats are bolted to the floor. A tremendous story of ultimate (if long-delayed) compassion, it’s a quiet little movie about a chimp that says a lot. E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW; opens Fri., $11; 202-452-7672, Landmarktheatres.com. (Metro Center)

goingoutguide.com | M[[a[dZFWii Till You’re Blue in the Face The Chincoteague Blueberry Festival has the same live music and kid’s activities you always find at community fests, but (as you may have guessed) the real point here is the blueberries. Blueberry pie, blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins, fresh blueberries — the only difficulty will be finding your blue children among the legions of little Smurfs running around. Chincoteague Center, 6155 Community Drive, Chincoteague Island, Va.; Fri.-Sun., 9 a.m., $5 adults, $1 children, $8 two-day pass, $10 three-day pass; 757-894-2334, Chincoteagueblueberryfestival.com.

Silver and Gold The fact that Emmylou Harris, above, is still releasing albums is just overkill. She’s had such an incredible career, yet she’s still writing songs, and they’re still consistently amazing. All her silver-haired glory just makes the rest of us look bad. Wolf Trap, Filene Center, 1551 Trap Road, Vienna; Sat., 8 p.m., $25-$42; 877-965-3872, Wolftrap.org.
The D.C. Dance Festival kicks off Thursday night with a tribute to hometown hero Marvin Gaye, right. Original dance performances and covers of Gaye’s songs will be the highlight of “Simply Marvin” — until you go get the bacon burger at Marvin on 14th St. NW afterward. Warner Theatre, 513 13th St. NW; Fri., 8 p.m., free; 202-783-4000, Simplymarvin.eventbrite.com. (Metro Center)
Belg-yum! Belgian Restaurant Week ends Thursday — which, appropriately enough, is Belgian National Day. Belgian eateries across the city — including Brabo, Brasserie Beck and Granville Moore’s — will offer prix-fixe menus and parties celebrating their little country. Various locations; Thu., prices vary; Belgianrestaurantweekdc.com.

Love ’Em Dead Missouri indie band Ludo, left, never made a big splash, and it’s a shame — the group trades in music both rocking and wry, with a healthy respect for camp and a beat you can dance to. Best of all, it avoids the typical rock trap of taking itself way too seriously, or of trying to be funny and ending up flimsy. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Thu., 6 p.m., $15; 202-265-0930, 930.com.

M^eef_[ If you’re as bored with the cupcake trend as we are, then you’re probably seeking a new solution for your sugar cravings. Whoopie pies sandwich a frosting filling between two cake-y cookies to create the perfect handheld device for dessert junkies on the go. N.M.
Pastry chefs go over the top with fancy takes on the beloved s’more
B. HALL, BAKER Send some love by buying a tin full of a dozen whoopie pies ($39.50 plus shipping) from this mail-order bakery, which offers a rotating cast of flavors such as rich Mexican chocolate, zesty pink grapefruit and sunny coconut. Where: 202-596-6611, Bhallbaker.com.
7i_Z[\hecjeWij" there’s nothing easier
to make than a s’more. There are only three ingredients — chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers — that come together to form the tastiest of trifectas. “One of the reasons they’re so popular is because there’s crunchiness, softness and gooeyness,” says Logan Cox, the executive chef at Ripple. “It’s exciting to eat three different textures together.” Now chefs are revisiting this campground classic and updating it in unexpected ways that are anything but simple. NE V IN MARTELL
Co Co. Sala “We wanted to do something fun for the camping season,” says executive chef Santosh Tiptur. “But we had to do something different.” So, he crafted the Some More Co Co. ($12). The centerpiece is a chocolate crème brûlée filled with melted vanilla marshmallows and finished with crunched-up graham crackers. A chocolate brownie and a tumbler of rum-spiked chocolate milk complete the plate. Co Co. Sala, 929 F St. NW; 202-347-4265, Cocosala. com. (Metro Center)

“There’s something distinctly Girl Scout-y about s’mores,” says Carolyn Crow, the pastry chef at Jackie’s Sidebar. Her s’more soufflé cake ($8) is a sophisticated update on the campground treat. Instead of using small rectangles of Hershey’s, the resourceful baker creates a rich, flourless dark chocolate cake. She crowns this with a scoop of homemade marshmallow fluff and a sprinkle of graham cracker shards. “It’s always very satisfying to see diners scraping at the plate to get that last little bit,” she says. 8081 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring; 301-5659700, Jackiesrestaurant.com. (Silver Spring)
“I enjoyed s’mores as a kid,” Cox says. “And I’ll enjoy them even after I die.” To pay homage to his longtime favorite, Cox starts by whipping up a dollop of dense, silky Belgium dark chocolate cremeux (a thick mousse), which he places atop a bed of crumbled graham crackers. Then he adds a brushstroke of torched brown marshmallow fluff and a crisp graham cracker to finish it off ($8). It might not look like a traditional s’more, but its transportive flavors will help get you in 3417 Connecticut Ave. touch with your inner child. NW; 202-244-7995, Rippledcom. (Cleveland Park)
One day, while making graham cracker crusts for her cheesecakes, baker and co-owner Teresa Velazquez realized that the golden base would be the perfect starting point for a s’more bar. To complete her vision, she added sticky layers of caramel and homemade marshmallow fluff, and topped it off with a layer of dark chocolate ganache. Not knowing what to call it, she decided to test it out on customers. “One of my regulars took a bite and the first thing out of his mouth was ‘Oh, my god,’” Velazquez says. It’s been called the O.M.G. bar ($2.50) ever since. 1052 Thomas Jefferson St. NW; 202-333-2500, Bakedandwired.com. (Foggy Bottom)
Fahrenheit When Daniel Mangione had his first messy, magical bite of a s’more, he fell in love with desserts. Now an executive pastry chef, Mangione has created a number of seasonally appropriate twists on the childhood classic for this restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown. “You don’t want something hot during the summer; you want something cold,” he says. So he created a rich burnt-marshmallow milk shake (available free everyday to anyone in the lobby from 6:30-7 p.m.), a marshmallow-chocolate-graham gelato ($9) and a s’more cheesecake with graham cracker crust, a molten chocolate center and mini-marshmallows dotting the top ($9).

8[jj[hJ^WdOekhi Shake Shack’s rich milk shakes bring all the boys (and girls) to Dupont Circle Seven years ago, Shake Shack opened its first location in New York City’s Madison Square Park and kick-started the hamburger revival. After two years of looking for the right location and ironing out the details, the Big Apple eatery debuted an outpost in Dupont Circle in mid-May. “D.C. is one of the great burger towns, so we wanted to be here,” says Shake Shack COO Randy Garutti. “There are a lot of great options here already — Ray’s Hell Burger, Five Guys, Good Stuff Eatery — but we hope people add us to the rotation.”

:h_dai0 As you should have guessed from the name, milk shakes are a specialty here. They’re made with frozen custard instead of ice cream (which gives them a richer, creamier consistency), and they come in seven flavors: vanilla, chocolate, Black and White (vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup), peanut butter, coffee, caramel and strawberry ($5-$5.50). If you want to class up your experience, order a glass of Shake Shack sauvignon blanc ($7 glass, $28 bottle) or Shake Shack cabernet franc made by Frog’s Leap vineyards in Napa Valley ($8 glass, $31 bottle).

Armed with aromatics left over from gin distilleries, he offers diners gin-soaked eats. Selections change based on Smith’s whim but, for now, they include dishes such as Gin Oil Poached Halibut ($29), shown; Loma and Melon Salad with Gin Powder ($12); and Roasted Pork with Gin Mash Jus ($26).

Love of Storage Pawn shows are passe. The hot TV trend is storage. A&E’s “Storage Wars,” above, started season 2 last night. TruTV launched “Storage Hunters” in June. Spike TV has “Auction Hunters.” The premise: Storage facilities auction off the contents of abandoned units. Bidders get minutes to eyeball stuff, and then the battle begins. Sometimes they pay way too much for junky junk! Then again, antiques, vintage toys, booze, cash and even a 8oCWhY Picasso have turned up. I_bl[h What’s the backstory? Lance Watkins, CEO of Storage Outlet, which participates in “Storage Wars,” fills us in. Auctions are a last resort if a renter who abandons a unit can’t be located. Depending on state law, unclaimed stuff is usually auctioned after 120 to 150 days (see Storagetreasures.com to find nearby auctions). Most stored stuff is boring: furniture, clothes, appliances. From a unit’s auction proceeds, the facility covers a renter’s unpaid bill and makes a good-faith effort to send any surplus to the renter. Otherwise, the state gets it. One in nine Americans has a unit. We’re world leaders in the field! Watkins explains, “We have more stuff.” Comments? Give Marc your feedback: expressnightout.com/muse
With a debut album and a worldwide tour, Theophilus London is ready for his close-up
7bXkcH[l_[m
‘Timez Are Weird These Days’ London has the record collection of an aesthete and the heart of a scenester, and “Timez” skims the surface of a variety of club-friendly genres — including bass-driven pop, hip-hop and disco — before settling on a frothy mix of electro-soul and ’80s pop/R&B, emphasis on “’80s.” “Why Even Try,” a collaboration with Tegan & Sara’s Sara Quin, sounds as if it escaped from an alternate universe’s “Footloose” soundtrack.
Cki_Y The video for “Last Name London,” the first single from Theophilus London’s debut album, “Timez Are Weird These Days,” bears a striking resemblance to the video for Michael Jackson’s “Jam.” The biggest difference between the two clips is that London — clearly the better ballplayer than his opponent in the video — appears equal parts athlete and entertainer. He’s everything to all worlds. It’s a fitting performance. London, who can still be considered an MC thanks to his technical rhyming ability, has crushed the boundaries of his own beginnings as a Brooklyn battle rapper, borrowing melody and affectation from countless genres, continents and even the opposite sex. Once lumped in with the electro-rap craze of the late aughts, London makes no secret of his adoration for Prince and former Smiths frontman Morrissey. “Timez,” out this week, is a wholly pop-leaning effort. London’s singing voice sounds more polished and warmer than it was when he released a cover of Nat King Cole’s “Calypso Blues” with the Dap-Kings last summer. To record the album, London set up camp in Stockholm and Los Angeles, and

worked with acclaimed rock producers John Hill, Ariel Rechtshaid and TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek. “It’s nothing like I’ve done before,” London says. “It’s all my new influences, my new story, my new point of view. All my new ideas from the last year are all here.” Already touring to support the album’s release, London is looking forward to seeing more of the world. “I call it an ‘exotic’ tour,” he says of his summer schedule, which features stops in Montreal and Berlin. “We haven’t put a name to it [but] there’s an international demand for this. I mean, I hate planes at this point in my life, but I’m very privileged and happy to be on them.” FELIPE DLERME (BILLBOARD)

<hec=[[aje=eh][eki A British style expert transforms frumpy women on ‘Plain Jane’ H[Wb_jo If, as they say, half of life is just showing up, the CW is in trouble. It’s decided not to show up at all and to rebroadcast summer filler from last July! What if CBS decided to repeat last year’s “Big Brother”? Would anybody watch? Maybe the CW figured nobody watched its shows in the first place. That said, “Plain Jane” is not half bad. “Jane” is hosted by fashion expert Louise Roe, who, like every expert on TV for the past decade, sports a British accent. In every episode, a nice, shy fashion disaster 9M

with self-esteem issues sends Roe an Internet video and begs to be saved from lonely Saturday nights. “Jane” is based on the premise of any number of cookie-cutter chick flicks about dowdy damsels too timid and insecure to express their love to the guy they’ve had a crush on for eons. As reality series go, this isn’t a terrible idea. It’s “makeover series meets Jane Austen novel.” But the network obviously didn’t have enough faith in the idea to churn out a few new ones for the summer of 2011. Maybe it just thinks the show is like an old paperback you find in a summer rental house. Not your first choice for a beach read or a summer distraction, but it will do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Big things often have small beginnings, and even the smallest will show signs that it can grow into something quite memorable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A trip down memory lane has you wishing that you had made different choices, but look around you and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know you are in the right place. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Permanence isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the issue; relevance certainly is. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want everything to be connected, meaningful and timely. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A sensitive issue isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to go away simply because you ignore it; indeed, at this time such a tactic can backfire on you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Getting things done properly is simply a matter of doing them by the book. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no room for interpretation at this time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone at the very top may well have requested your involvement in a certain endeavor. You can certainly make a difference. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) What usually occurs to others as a matter of course is likely to be the product of some careful thinking on your part. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can see to it that an accident actually pays off for you, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not likely to yield any real rewards just yet. Be patient.
