There’s a new U.S. symbol for health-

ful eating: The Agriculture Depart-

ment unveiled “My Plate” on Thurs-

day, abandoning the food pyramid

that had guided many Americans

but merely confused others.

The new guide is divided into

four slightly different-sized quad-

rants, with fruits and vegetables

taking up half the space and grains

and protein making up the other

half. The vegetables and grains por-

tions are the largest of the four.

Gone are the old pyramid’s ref-

erences to sugars, fats or oils. What

was once a category called “meat

and beans” is now simply “proteins,”

making way for seafood and veg-

etarian options such as tofu. Next

to the plate is a blue circle for dairy,

which could be a glass of milk or

Goldman Sachs Subpoenaed

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was

subpoenaed by the Manhattan

District Attorney’s office over the

Shares of Goldman fell nearly

2 percent to $133.88 a share after

Bloomberg News reported earlier

Thursday about the subpoena.

Goldman has been watched by

lawmakers and regulators since

marketing risky investments that

bet on the housing market’s suc-

down. Simultaneously, the bank

reaped billions of dollars from its

own bets that the housing market

would collapse. Those gains also

made it the target of intense media

The sight of f lattened homes,

peeled-off roofs and the toppled

steeple of a 140-year-old church

stunned New Englanders after

deadly tornadoes swept through

Massachusetts, striking an area of

the country that rarely sees such

severe twisters.

The storms, which came with

fair warning but still shocked with

their intensity, killed at least three

people in the state’s first torna-

storms injured about 200 and

wreaked damage in a string of 18

cities and villages across central

and western Massachusetts.

Tornadoes are not unheard of in

Dugard Kidnapper Gets 431 Years

A serial sex offender was ordered

Thursday to spend the rest of his

life in prison after the California

woman he kidnapped, raped and

held captive for 18 years said he and

his wife had stolen her life.

Victim Jaycee Dugard was 11

when she was abducted by Phil-

lip and Nancy Garrido as her step-

father watched her walk toward a

school bus. She gave birth to two

daughters fathered by Garrido.

The defendants kept their heads

down as Dugard’s mother, Terry

Probyn, read her daughter’s state-

ment at the hearing. Dugard, now

31, was not present in court.

“I chose not to be here today

because I refuse to waste anoth-

er second of my life in your pres-

ence,” Dugard wrote.

the maximum possible sentence

of 431 years to life on 60-year-old

Scientists on Thursday blamed

Europe’s worst recorded food-poi-

soning outbreak on a “super-toxic”

strain of E. coli bacteria that may

be brand new.

But while suspicion has fallen on

raw tomatoes, cucumbers and let-

tuce as the source of the germs, offi-

cials have been unable to pinpoint

the food responsible for the illness,

which has killed at least 18 people,

sickened more than 1,600 and spread

to least 10 European countries.

An large number of victims —

about 500 — have developed kidney

‘Super-Toxic’ E. Coli Named in OutbreakNew strain caused 1,600 in Europe to fall ill, officials say

than the E. coli strains people nat-

urally carry in their intestines.

However, Dr. Robert Tauxe,

a food-borne disease expert at

the U.S. Centers for Disease Con-

trol and Prevention, questioned

whether the strain is new, say-

ing it had caused a case in Korea

in the 1990s.

Previous E. coli outbreaks have

mainly hit children and the elder-

ly, but this one is disproportion-

ately affecting adults, especial-

ly women. Nearly all of the sick

either live in Germany or recently

traveled there.

Paul Hunter, a professor of

health protection at the Univer-

sity of East Anglia in England,

warned the outbreak could con-

tinue, as sloppy bathroom habits

can spread E. coli. (AP)

complications that can be deadly.

The outbreak is already considered

the third-largest involving E. coli

in recent world history.

Chinese and German scientists

analyzed the DNA of the E. coli bac-

teria and determined that the out-

break was caused by “an entirely

new, super-toxic” strain that con-

tains several antibiotic-resistant

genes, according to a statement

from the Shenzhen, China-based

laboratory BGI. It said the strain

appeared to be a combination of

two types of E. coli.

“This is a unique strain that has

never been isolated from patients

before,” said Hilde Kruse, a food

safety expert at the World Health

Organization. The strain has “var-

ious characteristics that make it

more virulent and toxin-producing”

on Thursday in Athens, Greece, outside the country’s leading telecommunications provider, angered that Germany’s Deutsche Telekom has been offered to increase its stake in the com-pany. The government, which announced the move Thursday, is under pressure to speed privatization and cut costs.

Pakistan: 63 on Border Slain by Afghan MilitantsIslamist militants from Afghanistan

fought a second day with Pakistani

Top Clans Fan Unrest In Yemen

Thousands of tribesmen threatened

Thursday to descend on Yemen’s

capital to join the battle against

forces loyal to President Ali Abdul-

lah Saleh as the country slid deeper

into an all-out fight for power, and

regime forces in San‘a unleashed

some of the heaviest shelling yet

against their tribal rivals in an

escalation of the conflict.

For months, protesters have

tried to oust Saleh peacefully. But

the effort has morphed into a show-

down in San‘a between Yemen’s

two most powerful families, the

president’s and the al-Ahmar clan,

which leads Yemen’s strongest trib-

al confederation.

Tribesman also attacked forces

in Taiz on Thursday, but there was

no immediate word on casualties.

More than 160 people have died

since the fighting erupted. (AP)

Kan Survives No-Confidence Vote in Japan

Prime Minister Naoto Kan defeated

a no-confidence motion Thursday

over his handling of Japan’s triple

disasters, but the victory may be

short-lived — he said he is willing

to resign once the country’s recov-

radiation leaks and the evacuation

of tens of thousands of people.

The head of the nuclear plant’s

operator already has resigned in

disgrace.

Kan did not say how he would

determine that the recovery was

on track, but he hinted Thursday

that he may stay until the crippled

reactors reach “a cold and stable

shutdown” and stop leaking radi-

ation, which their operator plans

to achieve by January. (AP)

“Once the post-quake recon-

struction efforts are settled, I will

pass on my responsibility to young-

er generations,”

Kan said.

Buying himself

time and warding

off a challenge

that threatened

to send Japan’s

Kan won by a vote of 293-152 in the

That’s why this is a problem being

closely monitored by FixWmata.

com, which started compiling its

HotCar list last July in the wake of

too many sweltering situations. The

blogger behind the site, who wishes

to remain anonymous, figured that

if he was this annoyed, other rid-

ers were, too. He was right. Soon,

lots of folks were tweeting him

info on offenders using the #hot-

car hashtag. “I was going to track

hot stations, too. But that would be

a list of 86 stations,” half-jokes the

blogger behind the site.

He’d been on hiatus, but we chat-

ted last week just after he launched

his 2011 list (which was already up

to 24 complaints as of press time).

He’s hoping that WMATA finally

starts paying attention to his data

and makes necessary repairs. Last

year, people reported uncomfort-

ably warm temperatures in the same

exact cars over weeks

and even months.

The stats also

indicate that some-

t h ing’s ser ious-

ly wrong with the

5000 series cars,

which show up way

more often than any

of the others. His

pick? 2000 series cars. Not one has

been reported. (Good luck figuring

out which cars are which from the

platform — although the numbers

are visible on the sides of the cars,

I’ve never taken note of one in the

scramble to get on board.)

But as irritating as it is to lose

rush hour roulette and end up on

one of these cursed cars, saving

yourself isn’t that difficult: Just

get off at the next stop and squeeze

onto one of the cooler cars, or wait

for the next train.

And if you find yourself sweat-

ing it out, be thankful you didn’t

end up on the “hell train.” Maybe

you remember that almost exact-

ly a year ago, a MARC train broke

down near New Carrollton, trap-

ping 1,200 commuters for more

than two hours without air condi-

tioning. Ten had to be treated by

paramedics, but all of them were

clearly scarred by the experience.

Ever since moving to Baltimore in

September, I’ve kept meeting sur-

vivors who’ve regaled me with hor-

rific tales and advised me to start

carrying a water bottle should there

ever be a repeat incident.

Makes a “hot car” not sound

so bad at all.

If you’ve never heard the term “hot car,” you might think it sounds awesome. Maybe that’s where the scantily clad interns hang out, or it’s painted cherry red and has a convertible top. Unfortunately, it really means a train car with a busted AC unit. And when the temperature climbs into the triple digits, there is no worse place on Earth — especially if you’re blockaded in by tourists.

Front-running candidates like to

imagine a path to victory if only

they run the race as they envision,

and on the windswept farm from

which he launched his presidential

campaign in Stratham, N.H., on

Thursday, Mitt Romney no doubt

hoped that will be the case.

But like all front-runners, no

matter how strong or fragile,

Romney’s struggle will be trying

to stay on the course he has set, to

run his race and not the race that

his rivals and others attempt to

make him run.

Can he make this campaign all

about the economy and President

Obama’s stewardship in office? Or

will he find himself in constant

conflict over his Massachusetts

health care mandate, his conserva-

tive credentials, his “authenticity”

and questions about whether he can

rally the Republican Party?

Romney begins his second

White House bid in far stronger

shape than he started his first four

years ago, with a message sharp-

ly honed and more focused. He is

better positioned than his rivals

and more experienced. It is an

enviable but hardly an impregna-

ble position, given the questions

that surround him and the nar-

rowness of the margin in the polls

atop which he sits.

His message on Thursday was

pitched more to a general election

audience than to his party’s base.

Boiled down to four sentences, it

went like this: “Barack Obama

has failed America. When he took

office, the economy was in reces-

sion. He made it worse. And he

made it last longer.”

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin arrived in New Hampshire as

Mitt Romney was breaking camp

after his announcement. Palin’s bus

tour, she has insisted all week, is

not a political event. But the closer

she came to New Hampshire, the

more it took on the trappings. Palin’s

team reportedly has invited some con-

servatives to a Thursday night clambake.

Hours before Romney spoke, the

budding campaign of Jon Hunts-man Jr., a former Utah governor,

sent out an email attacking Rom-

ney’s record. Huntsman arrives this

weekend for an-

other round

of testing

the waters,

already

warming to

the coming

competition

with the front-

runner.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has

dropped hints he may run. Perry

was the first major elected official

to attend a tea party rally, embrac-

ing the nascent movement when

many establishment pol-

iticians were leery of

being associated too

closely with it. That

gives him a base-

line credibility with

a group looking to

exert influence in the

2012 presidential race

in the same

way it did in

the 2010

mid-

terms.

(TWP/AP)

— M I T T R O M N E Y, SPEAKING THURSDAY IN

NEW HAMPSHIRE AS HE OFFICIALLY BEGAN

HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

Former New York City mayor

Rudy Giuliani visited a restau-

rant in New Hampshire and met

with state activists. Giuliani said

he hasn’t decided whether he will

run again and that he expects

to make up his mind by the end

of the summer. But he certainly

sounded like a candidate, telling

reporters that Obama is leading

the nation in the wrong direction.

Rep. Michele Bachmann of

Minnesota, a tea party darling,

is inching toward a run. She will

participate in presidential debate

in New Hampshire on June 13, an

aide said.

Let the Battle BeginRomney leads the GOP pack, but his top spot remains far from assured

That’s the message he wants to

carry through the nomination bat-

tle, if only it were that simple.

Romney’s front-running sta-

tus owes as much to his prowess

as a fundraiser as to the depth and

breadth of his political support.

He is a candidate capable of rais-

ing more than $10 million in a sin-

gle day, a prodigious achievement.

He threatens to leave his rivals in

the dust at the end of this quarter

in money raised and banked. That

is an enviable position.

Yet he is a front-runner who

must still decide whether he can

risk anything approaching a seri-

ous effort in the Iowa caucuses or

how he will maneuver in South

Carolina.

Republican nominees in many

past campaigns have begun their

campaigns as heirs apparent. Rom-

ney is in a different position.

If he wins the Republican nom-

ination, it won’t be because it was

his turn as the beloved senior

Republican in the race. If he wins,

it will because he earned it, not

just by running the campaign

he hopes to run but also by pre-

venting his rivals from dictating

the battle on their terms. DAN BALZ

(THE WASHINGTON POST)

The portion of Republicans and the

Republican-leaning voters who said

they were unhappy with their cur-

rent choices in the presidential field,

according to a Washington Post/Pew

Research Center poll released this

Mound of OpportunityVirginia ace appears likely to be a top 10 pick in the MLB draft

The only question about Danny Hultzen is whether he will sign with the team that drafts him this year. Coming out of high school, Hultzen and his family were consid-ered standoffish by some scouts because they told clubs that he was not interest-ed in pursuing a professional career at the time. While he fell in the draft because he said he did not plan to sign a contract, the Arizona Diamondbacks still selected Hultzen in the 10th round. By going to Virginia, Hultzen was not eligible for the draft again until this year. If he does not sign a contract with the team that drafts him by a mid-August deadline, he would go back into the draft next year. (TWP)

— V I R G I N I A AC E DA N N Y H U LT ZE N ON THE

THRONGS OF SCOUTS THAT HAVE FOLLOWED

HIM THROUGHOUT HIS COLLEGE CAREER.

Danny Hultzen is consid-ered a polished pitcher with good velocity (a fastball in the low to mid-90s) and above-av-erage stuff (his pitches have good movement). Regardless of how much digging into the past a scout does, the reports on Hultzen come back similar. He carries him-self well and is humble off the field. Ask about his cooking skills and how he might manage without a school caf-eteria or meal plan, and Hultzen jokes that he “can use the microwave pretty well” and that a roommate is teaching him how to light a char-coal grill. (TWP)

Relaxing in a chair after practice,

Danny Hultzen started to smile. The

University of Virginia star pitcher no

longer had to worry about rolling

out of bed in time for early-morning

classes. He did not have to cram for

any exams. There were no assign-

ments coming due.

“It’s awesome,” Hultzen said a

few days after semester exams had

finished. “All that stress of school-

work and staying up to study for

tests and writing is gone. It’s nice

that you can really set your mind to

playing baseball.”

Of course, some might expect that

playing the game he loves is a more

stressful exercise for Hultzen than

excelling in the classroom, where

the former St. Albans standout was

named an academic all-American

this spring.

Every time Hultzen took the

mound this season — which the 6-foot-

3 southpaw will do again this weekend

as the Cavaliers host an NCAA tour-

nament regional that begins Friday

— professional scouts and front-office

executives have followed.

In recent weeks, things have got-

ten especially intense. With Hultzen’s

stock rising leading up to the three-

day draft that begins Monday eve-

ning, high-level team executives —

including Pittsburgh Pirates General

Manager Neal Huntington, whose

team holds the first pick — have made

their way to see Hultzen pitch.

At Virginia, Hultzen has been noth-

ing short of spectacular, earning

Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman

of the Year honors and then being

named the ACC Pitcher of the Year

the past two seasons. He already has

set school records for victories (30)

and strikeouts (356).

This season Hultzen is 10-3 with a

1.59 ERA. He also is batting .305 with

29 runs batted in as a part-time des-

ignated hitter when he is not pitch-

ing. This spring, as he has gone from

a likely first-rounder to a near-cer-

tain top-five pick, Hultzen has vis-

ited only with officials from the top

six teams picking in the draft and

the scouting bureau, which sends

information to every club. One of

the ground rules for the meetings

was that Hultzen would not discuss

financial contract terms.

If necessary, the final game of the

regional tournament is scheduled for

6 p.m. Monday, the same time that the

draft begins. Hultzen almost certain-

ly will pitch one of the games before

then, meaning he could be in the dug-

out when his name is called.

“Obviously, it’s always been a

dream of mine to play pro ball and

make the major leagues, but there

are other things in front of me, and

that’s this team,” Hultzen said.

Another Road Challenge Awaits United

Josh Wolff is hugged by D.C. teammate Blake Brettschneider in Portland last week.

After the league’s most hostile envi-

ronment proved to be no match

for D.C. United’s wide-eyed young

guns, the danger level gets raised

a bit Friday night.

United became the first MLS

team to win at Portland, Ore., last

weekend and will now try to break

the league-leading Los Angeles

Galaxy’s home unbeaten run in

Friday’s game.

A rookie- and reserve-filled

squad got the job done in Port-

land, with first-year forward Blake

Brettschneider leading with two

assists in the 3-2 victory.

While recuperating forwards

Charlie Davies and Josh Wolff

could start reclaiming more min-

utes from fill-ins Brettschneider

and Joseph Ngwenya, the team will

have to plug a new hole, the one left

by Dejan Jakovic, who injured his

hamstring playing for Canada in

an exhibition match.

The Galaxy, which has the most

points in the league (29) and a 4-0-2

home record, will be shorthanded,

too. U.S. national team star Landon

Donovan, who missed the earlier

meeting between the two teams at

RFK Stadium with a knee injury,

and Jamaican goalkeeper Donovan

Ricketts have departed to be with

their respective national teams for

the Gold Cup.

Los Angeles stil l boasts a

healthy David Beckham, though,

and has proved it can secure results

without Donovan this season.

“There’s a reason why they’re the

best team right now in MLS,” said

D.C. rookie Perry Kitchen, who

scored his first career goal against

Portland. “They’ve got great play-

ers. ... We’re definitely going to have

our hands full.” AVI CREDITOR

Danny Espinosa knows the chal-

lenge but chooses not to obsess over

it. Establishing yourself as a major-

league hitter is no simple task, but

doing it as a switch-hitter doubles

the difficulty level.

Espinosa, Washington’s rookie

second baseman, is a natural right-

handed hitter and most comfort-

able from that side of the plate. It

allows his dominant hand to be on

top, driving the bat and creating

power. He likes the ball high and

out over the plate. From the right

side, he’s hitting .300.

Though he hits left-handed

more often since most pitchers

are right-handed, his swing from

minor-league at bats.

But while his batting average

is, well, below average, he still

leads the team in home runs (10)

and RBI (33) and has played Gold

Glove-caliber defense.

And the 24-year-old product of

Long Beach State has impressed

veterans with his level-headed and

diligent approach to preparation.

“He is a ballplayer,” right field-

er Jayson Werth said. “He went to a

college program that was all about

baseball. They play the game the

right way. They had some really good

players come out of there. Hopeful-

ly, he will be another one.”

Starter Jason Marquis raved

on Tuesday about how Espino-

sa has never let struggles at the

plate affect his defense. “That’s

one thing that’s going to keep him

around for a long time and be a

special ballplayer,” Marquis said.

In 182 at bats through Wednes-

day, Espinosa was hitting .214, the

same average he posted in 103 at

bats late last season and well below

The Nationals certainly expect-ed decent power numbers from the middle of the batting order this season. Of course, those numbers were supposed to come from Jayson Werth, Ryan Zimmerman and Adam LaRoche, not Laynce Nix, Michael Morse and Danny Espinosa. Injuries have limited LaRoche and Zimmer-man, allowing the latter trio to com-bine for 26 homers. Nix hit his ninth homer Wednesday, Morse has seven, and Espinosa leads all with 10. D.T.

NBA Needs James To Earn His Crown “Long live the king.”

Surely that’s what commissioner

David Stern and his cronies in the NBA

offices are saying right about now.

Weeks before a lockout will shut

down the league for a period that

could dwarf the NFL’s still-unresolved

work stoppage — and

a day after the NBA’s

most charismatic play-

er announced he’s re-

tiring — pro basketball

is desperate for some

good news.

Nothing says sunny

skies like a boy king finally earning his

crown.

LeBron James seems on the cusp

of hoisting his Excalibur out of the

stone and, in the process, filling the

one hole in his resume.

Sure, it took teaming with two

other superstars to do it, but better

that than join the likes of Charles Bar-

kley and Patrick Ewing, who retired

without an NBA championship.

And in joining the Heat with the

infamous made-for-TV “Decision,”

James took himself to a whole new

level. The former teen prodigy has

been the story of the NBA all season.

Fittingly, he is the story at the end, too.

And we may be watching a dynas-

ty in the making. So if the NBA does

close its doors for what promises

to be a nasty fight, at least it knows

James will be there on the other side.

James, after all, has managed to

turn the vitriol against him into one of

the best NBA stories in years. Maybe he

can do the same for the entire league.

He is the NBA’s once and future

king.

Fans wanting a local angle can cheer for rookie Jasmine Thomas, left. In

late April, a trade with the Seattle Storm sent the Virginia native and Oak-

ton High School graduate to her hometown hoops team (and the one she

interned for last summer). The point guard has already seen high-qual-

ity minutes in the Mystics’ preseason games (she scored five points

in the team’s 66-55 preseason win over Chicago), and while it’s un-

known how big a role she’ll play at the start, the Duke graduate is

expected to help alleviate the loss of Lindsey Harding, who was

sent to Atlanta in a trade.

When news broke last season that star

player Alana Beard, right, would miss

the entirety of the schedule with an

ankle tendon injury, many wrote off the

Mystics’ season. Despite her injury, the

team put together a surprising season be-

fore being knocked out of the Eastern Conference

semifinals in two games by the Dream. Back, and healthy, Beard figures to

help boost the team’s lethargic offense. In her six years as a WNBA pro, Beard

has averaged 16.2 points per game and has a .760 free throw percentage.

Much will be said about how the Mys-

tics are trying to repeat last year’s run

to finish first in the Eastern Conference,

but the 2010 team was vastly differ-

ent. Mainstays Crystal Langhorne and

Monique Currie are two of the major

pieces left from last years’ roster, but

the supporting cast has gotten young-

er. This year’s roster features three

rookies: Center Ta’Shia Phillips, guard

Jasmine Thomas and forward Karima

Christmas. Despite the youthfulness

of the roster, the Mystics added some

experience to help with the team’s of-

fense: Kelly Miller, above — a 10-year

veteran acquired in a trade with the At-

lanta Dream in April.

Washington’s road record

a year ago, a number head

coach Trudi Lacey would

like to improve. The last

time the Mystics beat their

season-opening opponent,

the Sun, on the road was in

2006. R.A.

While the defense drove the

team in 2010 — Washington

held teams to just 73.2 points

per game — scoring proved to

be a challenge. Washington

finished third worst in points

per game (76.9), and only

three players were in double

digits for scoring per game:

Crystal Langhorne (16.3),

above; Monique Currie (14.1);

and Lindsey Harding (12.1),

who is no longer with the

team. In the preseason, it’s

been Langhorne and Miller

pacing the offense. A 10-year

veteran of the league, Miller

leads the team with 24 points

in the Mystics’ two preseason

wins, and Langhorne follows

with 23.

one of the WNBA’s top teams, and their preseason games have shown it’s not all hype. Despite major turnover on the roster, the Mys-tics went 2-0 in May and kick off their regular-sea-son schedule Saturday with a road game against the Connecticut Sun. Here are a few of the story lines and questions surrounding the team as it enters the season sporting a new lineup and a snazzy new red, white and blue look. REED S. ALBERS

Jasmine Thomas is

expected to offset

the loss of Lindsey

Harding for the

Mystics, who open

their season in

Connecticut on Sat-

urday night. Their

first home game is

on June 11 versus

Chicago.

ure, you’ll be the one unpacking

the boxes, grilling on the patio

and hanging portraits on the

walls, but buying a home is a

team effort.Here are the key players

you’ll be working with throughout the

process:

THE LENDERThe mortgage lender is the first per-

son you should seek, says Sid Davis,

author of“A Survival Guide for Buying a

Home”(AMACOM,2009). Davis suggests

talking to at least three lenders, choos-

ing the ones you think you could work

with the best and asking each for a

Good Faith Estimate.Once you’ve made

a final selection based on which lender

has the best annual percentage rate,

you’ll fill out a formal application.The

lender then comes back with a figure of

how much you can afford.Be careful

though,warns Davis. “Even though lend-

ers will let you borrow more than you

can afford, you have to take some

responsibility and know your own limi-

tations,”he says.

THE REALTOR“The Realtor is there to guide you

through the process from end to end,”

says Stephanie Singer,manager of media

communications for the National

Association of Realtors. A Realtor can

help you speak with mortgage lenders,

recommend home inspectors and act

on your behalf when dealing with the

seller’s broker.But the Realtor’s most

important job, says Davis, is to sit down

with you and listen to your needs, and

then find you a good deal on a great

home. “This is where the agent’s exper-

tise really becomes important,”Davis

says.

THE HOME INSPECTOROnce you’ve found that dream home

and your offer has been accepted, it’s

time to find a home inspector.Often,

your Realtor can recommend one,but

Davis cautions against using an inspec-

tor you’re pressured to hire. “If an

inspector comes back with a bad

inspection report it can kill the deal,”

Davis says. A good place to look is the

American Society of Home Inspectors

website,www.ashi.com.Davis recom-

mends being present during the inspec-

tion.“You want to have him explain

what the problem is,how serious it is,

how much it’ll cost you to fix it and

what you can do with it,”Davis says.

THE APPRAISERHired by your lender, the appraiser

assesses the home’s value to be sure

you’re not overpaying. If the appraiser’s

value comes in at or above the sale

price, you’re on your way to closing.

THE CLOSING AGENTThe closing agent – which can be an

attorney, a title company or a broker –

will put together the final pieces of your

home purchase.Be sure to have your

attorney with you to explain the docu-

ments you’ll be signing and to answer

any questions. “All the closer does is just

escrow funds, accept funds and provide

a place to come in and sign the paper-

work. They don’t make any decisions

on your behalf,”Davis says.

The average buyer of a newsingle-family detached hometends to spend about $4,900on appliances, furnishings, and

remodeling activities in the first yearafter purchase, according to a 2008National Association of Home Buildersstudy.Within the first two years afterpurchase, new buyers tend to spend$7,400 more than existing homeowners.

There are smart ways and not-so-smart ways to spend on and invest inyour new home. Here are some experttips to get you thinking in the rightdirection.

IMPROVE, IMPROVE, IMPROVE

1. IMPROVE THE HEATING,VENTILATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM

“[You] can replace an old 10SEER HVAC system with a higherperformance unit,” says Paul Zuch,2010-2011 president of the NationalAssociation of the Remodeling Industry,Des Plaines, Ill.The minimum SeasonalEnergy Efficiency Ratio approved by theDepartment of Energy is now 13, whichallows an annual savings in cooling ahome that is 18 percent higher thansavings with 10 SEER systems.

2. REPLACE OLD, DRAFTYWINDOWS

This will save you hundreds of dollarsa year in lower utility bills.Accordingto Remodeling magazine’s “2009 Costvs.Value Report,”window-replacementprojects recouped approximately 75percent of their cost at resale.

3. TURN OFF WASTEFUL WATERHEATING

“Tank-type water heaters maintain aconstant hot water temperature 24/7,365 days a year,”Zuch says.“They can bereplaced with a tankless water heater thatonly heats water as it is being used andprovides an endless supply of hot water.”

4. IMPROVE ATTIC INSULATIONBoosting your new homes thermal

resistance is a great way to lowerutilities from the get-go.

5. UPGRADE TO GREEN, WATER-CONSERVING FIXTURES

“Reduce water consumption byhundreds of gallons a month withdual-flush toilets, water-saver showerheads and rain-sensor-equipped lawnirrigation systems,”Zuch says.

SPLURGE ON SMALL LUXURIES

6. MAKE YOUR BATHROOMA SPA PARADISE

“You could paint it a bright color, buya new lighting fixture, a new faucet oreven invest in gorgeous towels or othersmall bathroom luxuries,” says interior

designer Jill Vegas, the author of “SpeedDecorating” (Taunton Press, 2009).

7. INVEST IN A NEW KITCHENCOUNTERTOP

If you’re looking to immediatelyimprove the aesthetics of your eatingarea,“this is a great alternative if youdon’t have the cash to gut the kitchen,”Vegas says.

8. FACELIFT YOUR HOME’S FAÇADE“Paint the front door, get some new

building numbers, a new doorknob orknocker or light fixture,”Vegas says.“That would be a really quick thing tomake your new place a home.”

9. SPLURGE ON TOP-QUALITYLINENS

“Buyers should look for the smallluxuries that will make their everyday lifejust a little better, a little nicer,”Vegas says.

10. GO FOR THE BIG SCREENIf you’re going to spend your time

lounging on a new sofa in a new livingroom, why not make the most of it bymounting a new HDTV on the wall?

With her sunny good looks and

sunnier style of Italian cooking, TV

chef Giada De Laurentiis is best

known for Americanizing la dolce

vita. It’s hard to imagine her stand-

ing in judgement of other cooks.But

that’s what she’ll be doing on the

new season of “Food Network Star”

(premiering Sunday at 9 p.m.). De

Laurentiis joins host Bobby Flay

to determine which cheftestant —

including local food writer Mary

Beth Albright — has what it takes

to be the next, well, Giada.

You’ve been on food TV

shows since 2003. Any tips for

wannabe hosts?

Be yourself on camera! It’s some-

thing that sounds so easy — but I

think many people just freeze up

on camera or try to imitate some-

one else.

What makes good food TV?

Colorful food and lots of visuals. I

always think that the food should

be in the forefront, with lots of

close-ups. People should feel like

they’re swimming in chocolate.

Is there anything that really

messes up a cooking show?

Well, if everything is one tex-

ture, like a sloppy joe, it can look

a little messy. That’s harder to get

people interested in. You need to

spark some interest or emotion

with the food.

What can make a person

a bad fit for food TV?

I think that anyone who gets fraz-

zled in the kitchen and has a cam-

era on them — we try not to get

too much of that. But audiences

do relate to that kind of thing, and

Giada De Laurentiis‘FOOD NETWORK STAR’ JUDGE, SCREEN COOK, MOM

they enjoy watching it. They know

what it’s like to feel that way.

What’s the biggest challenge

for contestants on “Food

Network Star”?

The time constraint. Contestents

feel pressured for time, and they

don’t know how to divide it up.

Talking, cooking and thinking

while telling a story is a difficult

thing!

Did any food trends or new

ingredients show up this season?

You’ll see people from differ-

ent parts of the country using

some ingredients in new ways,

like tofu.

How has being a mom

changed how you cook?

I’ve had to get a lot faster. I used to

make homemade sausages, stocks

and pastas, but now I can’t do that.

I’ve had to find shortcuts!

You recently created a line of

pots for Target. What inspired it?

I’d been using Le Creuset for years,

and while I loved it, I thought it was

too expensive. And I also wanted

to create a line of of cookware with

handles that were smaller and eas-

ier for women to hold.

What kitchen gadget can

you not live without?

My mezzaluna knife is my favorite

thing. You can slice with it, chop

with it. I even travel with it, though

in checked luggage!

ANSWERS FROM THE SHOE BLOGGER

Shapes, ShiftedCHICAGO DESIGNER Abigail Glaum-Lathbury draws

inspiration from biology, old-timey machines and

other decidedly left-brain concepts. But her new col-

lection, Elmidae — named for a type of beetle — looks

pretty as well as brainy. Just in stock at Proper Top-

per (1350 Connecticut Ave. NW; 202-842-3055), her

well-tailored, inventive pieces range from the sporty-preppy

“Velebita” skirt (shown, $240) and drapey tanks, ($85) to unusu-

al silk and brass bead necklaces (shown, similar for $196).

A Shell of a Lot of FlavorHEAR YE! HEAR YE! We proclaim that peanuts shall no longer be bland, but will contain sweet and

savory tastes such as cinnamon, Thai spices or cheese. Lord Nut Levington peanuts ($5.49, Lordnut.

com), named after a fictional Brit adventurer, include “Rebel Mary” (Bloody Mary) and “Mamma Mia”

(Italian) varieties, liberating bridge clubs and air travelers from the backward choice of “salty” or “plain.”

Grillionaire MatchmakerYOU BLEW A BUNDLE ON a fancy

Weber/Big Green Egg/outdoor pizza

oven. So why use a melted Ikea

spoon to flip backyard burgers?

Zwilling J.A. Henckels’ new BBQ

tool set ($200, Williams-sonoma.

com) includes a spatula, tongs, a

brush and a turner made of stain-

less steel and something called

“PakkaWood.” The quartet make an

impressive Father’s Day gift, espe-

cially if Pa sprang for filet-mignon-

pricey Ivy League tuition.

Spot On, SpotoffANY BRAND that boasts a neologism

as shamelessly unpronouncable as

“Herbatergent” deserves props — at

least it’s creative. Vaska’s new prod-

uct line, based on the all-natural laun-

dry soap ($9.99 for 48 oz., Target), in-

cludes Spotoff Advanced Botanicals

Spot Remover ($9.59 for 22-oz. bot-

tle). It didn’t conquer an ancient grease

stain, but what could? Warning: Natu-

ral or not, Spotoff has a strong smell,

and is not for sensitive noses.

Tea TimeTHIRTEEN-YEAR-OLDS butcher songs about

Friday on YouTube, but Thursday belongs to you

and your scalp. Australia’s Thursday Plantation

Tea Tree Shampoos and Conditioner ($11, The

Vitamin Shoppe, 3100 14th St. NW; 202-588-

703) uses tea tree, lavender and lime

oils to remove unwanted buildup on

the scalp and hair follicles. The or-

ganic and vegan-friendly products

give tresses the sort of healthy shine

one might see on Down Under divas

like Nicole Kidman or Naomi Watts.

This summer I’ll be on a facul-

ty fellowship at an Ivy League

college, where an ambi-

tious film actor is also pur-

suing one of his 11 or so liter-

ary Ph.D.s. What shoes can I

wear with floaty dresses that

announce “serious academic”

to colleagues and “important

ingenue” if the actor’s looking

for a co-star? — KATE

Manolo says, to paraphrase the im-

mortal Dorothy Parker: Seldom cast

as actresses, are the girls who wear

glasseses.

Despite the unusual circumstanc-

es, this is the old conundrum: How

does the smarty-smart girl attract the

male gaze without feeling, self-con-

sciously, that she is the gender-traitor

for conforming to the traditional, het-

eronormative, patriarchal orthodoxy?

Although, the modern world, being

infinitely more complicated than the

1980s music videos, offers further dif-

ficulties that Ms. Parker could never

have imagined. Or, to paraphrase the

Thomas Dolby, “Good Heavens, Miss

Sakamoto! You’ve filed harassment

charges against me for noticing that

you’re beautiful!”

Which is why the pretty-boy actors

tend to date the pretty-girl actresses,

because such academy-specific com-

plications do not enter into the math-

ematics of Hollywood romance.

But it never hurts to give it the old

college try. Here is the Willie from

Diane von Furstenberg ($210, Zappos.

com), the sharp-looking wedge heel

sandal with enough intellectual inter-

est to maintain one’s credibility in the

faculty lounge.

With a third “Transformers” on the

KNOW the Green Lantern is not from

another planet. But Hal Jordan (Ryan

Reynolds) gets his powers from a

ring given to him by Abin Sur, a dying

alien. And all of the OTHER Green

Lanterns are from different worlds.

(They’re like an interplanetary police

force, and you have to come from the

“precinct” you’ve been assigned to

guard, like police officers sometimes

have to live in the cities they patrol.)

The villain, Sinestro, is a Green Lan-

tern gone bad.

Creatures from

above sometimes

want to be friends.

Here, a historical

guide to visitors

past, nice and not.

“E.T. The Extraterrestrial” (1982)No being is more endearing

than E.T., with his fondness for

Reese’s Pieces and ability to

blend in with stuffed animals.

Add in healing powers and that

he can make a bike fly, and he’s

every kid’s best friend.

“The Iron Giant” (1999)A giant alien robot doesn’t

sound like a good BFF. But in

this underrated animated film

directed by Brad Bird (who

also helmed “The Incredibles”

and “Ratatouille”), a little boy

befriends the eponymous crea-

ture. And then the government

shows up and it (surprise!) all

goes to hell. Bring Kleenex.

“Independence Day” (1996)They’re ugly, they have kick-

ass spaceships and, worst

of all, they’re out to kill Will

Smith. The part where one of

the slimy bug-like life-forms

grabs Brent Spiner’s character

by the throat, melds with his

mind and reveals, through him,

that they want us all dead is a

nightmare of ventriloquism.

“Plan 9 From Outer Space” (1959)Eros isn’t scary. (It’s an Ed

Wood film. Nothing is scary.)

But the humanoid alien, played

by Dudley Manlove, left, earns

creepy points because he’s the

one who tells earthlings that

we don’t need hostile aliens

— we can (and likely will) just

blow ourselves up with nuclear

weapons. Thanks for the tip,

dude! Have a nice trip home.

“District 9” (2009)Yes, this is an allegory for

apartheid and other forms of

scary segregation, but the film

also frightens on a visceral

level because the aliens are

gross. They become less fear-

some as you realize that the

stupid, hateful humans are the

real threat, if less drooly.

Seersucker sheds its old-school rep with hip new styles and hot new shapes

Seersucker screams “summer party,” so use napkins (four for $64, Kimseybert.com) made from it at a cookout.

Old-fashioned seersucker gets a cool-kid vibe via Emerson

Made’s crisply pretty blouse (top, $138, Emersonmade.com),

J. Crew’s figure-flattering maillot (above, $84, Jcrew.

com) and skinny ties in a range of Easter-egg hues (below, $15

each, Thetiebar.com).

revived the early 20th-century custom of a summer “Seersucker Thursday” on Capitol Hill in the ’90s, he probably had heat and humidity, not hipster cred, on his mind. After all, the crinkly fabric was popularized by Brits in steamy colonial India. (The stuff even gets its name from those parts, from the Hindustani term “shir o shekar,” which means “milk and honey,” possibly referring to seersucker’s smooth and rough lines.)

for Tom Wolfe or the ghost of Sen.

Robert Byrd. So it’s best to mix the

storied textile with mod elements.

“Wear a seersucker jacket with

jeans,” says Ethan Drath, owner

of Georgetown prep trove Sher-

man Pickey (address at left). “But

a whole suit might be a little too

Colonel Sanders.” Or “choose seer-

sucker in a new, unexpected shape,”

says Emerson Fry, whose Emerson

Made line (Emersonmade.

com) has a flirty blouse

($138) and a sundress

($218) in the fabric.

It’s a good thing that

designers old-school and

new-wave have turned out a fresh

crop of pieces in seersucker. “For

me, it conjures up old-fashioned

summer parties and a good way of

living,” Fry says. “Wear seersucker,

and you can’t help but be in a good

mood and have a good time.”

JENNIFER BARGER (EXPRESS)

In D.C., seersucker enjoys a

more-classic-than-gin-and-ton-

ics reputation, with everyone

from Franklin Delano Roosevelt

to Lyndon Johnson having sport-

ed the fabric over the years. Cam-

paigning for the Senate, the latter

donned a stripey suit with cowboy

boots; more trad types usually went

for bow ties, straw boaters and —

whoa, Grandpa! — white bucks.

But last June, a new crowd of

young artists, social types and his-

tory buffs embraced the crisp cot-

ton during the first-ever Washing-

ton, D.C., Seersucker Social Bike

Ride. The fin de siècle-f lavored

event saw folks more likely to don

Prada than madras suited up in

seersucker jackets, straw bowlers,

saddle shoes and sundresses for a

spirited bike ride between Meridi-

an Hill Park and Hillwood Estate,

Museum and Gardens.

“It introduced this very tradi-

tional fabric to a crowd that would

normally thumb its collective nose

at it,” says event founder Eric Chan-

ning Brewer, who is spearheading

a sequel June 4. “It’s a nice, tailored

fabric. It looks cool and classy when

it gets hot.” (Tickets, $10; see Dan-

diesandquaintrelles.com for times

and addresses.)

Still, slipping into head-to-toe

stripes could get you mistaken

BUILT TO CHILL“For some people, the appeal

of seersucker is purely comfort — it’s so airy and cool,”

says Ethan Drath, owner of Sherman Pickey (1647 Wisconsin

Ave. NW; 202-333-4212), which stocks pants and shorts in the

fabric, like these, $75, by Castaway Nantucket

Island.

If I’m Not MistakenA few weeks ago I made a stupid

error in a story I wrote about super-

heroes. It was totally my fault (I con-

flated two characters), and I think I

took the ensuing Internet smackdown

relatively well.

Of course, now I’m a little gun-shy

about writing anything having to do

with comic books. Take “X-Men: First

Class,” which opens today: I have

some quibbles, mostly

with the script. But I’m

reluctant to say that

it seems pretty stu-

pid that Emma Frost

(January Jones), an

exceedingly power-

ful telepath, can’t tell

that someone is hid-

ing about five feet from her. Maybe

there’s also a reason Frost seems

unable to telepathically find her pants

at some points. I’m also reason-

ably certain Erik Lehnsherr (Michael

Fassbender, above), who eventually

becomes Magneto, shouldn’t have an

Irish accent when he’s angry. But hey,

Irish accents are kind of a superpow-

er, at least when it comes to making

me want to make out with you.

So I’m a little skittish when it

comes to comic-book movies now,

because one slip can make people

discount an author’s entire opinion

(something similar happened recently

to Roger Ebert in his review of “Thor,”

so I’m in good company). Though I en-

joyed “X-Men,” I find myself hesitating

to point out its problems. Not because

I fear the wrath of the Internet, but

because the Internet might actually

have a point.

By going back in time, ‘X-Men: First Class’ recharges the flailing comic book franchise

Judge “X-Men: First Class” not on

the color of its mutants’ skin but on

the content of its characters.

In “Kick-Ass” director Mat-

thew Vaughn’s eagerly awaited pre-

quel to the film adaptations of Stan

Lee’s iconic comic books, even the

strangest-looking genetic outliers

take on disarmingly human frail-

ties, quirks and admirable qualities.

Charles Xavier, whose benevolent

persona was channeled by Patrick

Stewart in previous “X-Men” mov-

ies, turns out to have been a bit of

a Carnaby Street Lothario back in

the swingin’ London of the 1960s.

Raven, also known as Mystique, was

once a teenage girl with skin that

tended to break out (albeit in blue

scales). And who knew that Mag-

neto — Xavier’s nemesis — could

be worthy not just of understand-

ing but of sympathy?

Actually, “X-Men” fans probably

know all this, and they’re the ones

who will be best served by “First

Class,” which begins, like the comic

book series itself, in 1944. That’s

when a young German boy named

Erik Lehnsherr watches his parents

being hauled off to Auschwitz.

Twenty years later, the grown

Erik (Michael Fassbender) con-

templates his revenge against the

man who went on to ruin his life,

Sebastian Shaw. Meanwhile, the

genially telepathic Charles (James

McAvoy) is earning his doctorate

in genetic research at Oxford, with

his shape-shifting friend and sur-

rogate sister, Raven (Jennifer Law-

rence), by his side.

Then what? Things happen, tak-

ing “First Class” on a whirlwind

tour of Las Vegas, Argentina, Rus-

sia, Miami and, finally, the waters

just off Cuba where — what do you

know? — Shaw turns out to be a

shadowy Cold Warrior.

With action, atmosphere and

mixed feelings to burn, “First Class”

seems well on its way to giving the

well-traveled “X-Men” franchise a

resuscitating breath of genetical-

ly superior, nuclear-powered life.

For Fans Of: “Kick-Ass” “X2”

“X-Men: First Class” takes place in the 1960s, the height of the original Marvel com-ics era, which the writers use to create a highly fictionalized version of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The ’60s setting is exploited by the set and costume designers — the cleavage-boosting outfits worn by January Jones as Emma Frost, pic-tured, are the most obvious examples — but they also provide a wistful quali-ty to the mutants as they search for themselves. “A lot of the characters are more innocent,” says James McAvoy, who plays Charles Xavier.

In “The Tree of Life,” Brad Pitt, 47,

plays Mr. O’Brien, a strict, by-the-

book father to three boys who grow

up equally oppressed by his fiery

temper and in awe of his godlike

moral power.

Embodying Mr. O’Brien brought

home powerful truths about parent-

ing for Pitt. “Actions speak louder

than words,” he says, “and it’s no

more true than with your kids. I’m

painfully aware of the effect I have

on them in their formative years,

and I’m careful not to bring my crap

home and burden them with that

and worry them with that. ”

As a paragon of “Father Knows

Best”-style authoritarianism of the

1950s, but also of the era’s postwar

disaffection, Pitt says Mr. O’Brien

“feels quite oppressed by his sur-

roundings and his job, and is quite

bitter about it and doesn’t know

how to handle it. And in turn he

brings that home and puts pres-

sure on his kids.

“ T h i s i d e a t h a t Fa t h e r

knows best just didn’t sit well

in the end,” he adds. “It was

more complicated than that.”

ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“The Tree of Life” is both good

and bad, great and fatally flawed,

transporting and disappointing-

ly literal. The sprawling story of a

man’s quest to reconcile a contra-

dictory parental legacy, “The Tree

of Life” ties that search to more

metaphysical questions having to

do with God, creation, truth and

beauty. Amazingly, director Ter-

rence Malick makes these connec-

tions work, pungently evoking both

suburban life in 1950s mid-Amer-

ica and the explosive beginnings

of the universe with equal vivid-

ness and power.

There are several reasons to see

“The Tree of Life,” not the least of

which is Brad Pitt. As Mr. O’Brien,

Pitt plays the patriarch of the 1950s

family that lives in a leafy Texas

suburb. A hard-jawed, embittered

martinet, Mr. O’Brien brings up his

three boys with a toxic combina-

tion of intimidation and command-

ing affection — mixed messages

brought into even sharper relief by

the healing, gentle presence of Mrs.

O’Brien (Jessica Chastain).

Sean Penn plays the old-

est O’Brien son as an adult, who

announces the cardinal theme of

“The Tree of Life” early: “There are

two ways through life, the way of

nature and the way of grace.”

By the film’s climactic sequence,

Malick brings things full cir-

cle, which gratifyingly returns

the audience to the most potent

ideas and emotions of “The Tree

of Life.” That’s when it becomes

clear that they haven’t watched

a movie as much as come under

a dizzyingly seductive spell.

A new documentary about feminist art lacks cohesiveness

Early in the documentary “!Women

Art Revolution,” an interviewee

argues that feminist art, which rev-

elled in its own messiness, emerged

as the antithesis to minimalism.

This snippet is invaluable to appre-

ciating a film that feels stubbornly

disjointed — a string of topic- and

decade-spanning interviews that

shoot in divergent vectors from the

subject at hand.

Lynn Hershman Leeson, an art-

ist herself and part of that move-

ment, directs and intermittently

narrates this fractured set of conver-

sations that she conducted over the

course of 40 years and that recount

the struggles of female artists in a

male-dominated world. Her subjects

include the brassy Judy Chicago,

whose “Dinner Party” piece creat-

ed an uproar, thanks to its numer-

ous depictions of female anatomy;

Marcia Tucker, who responded to

being fired from the Whitney Muse-

um by founding Manhattan’s New

Museum; and the Guerrilla Girls,

who objected to art museums’ insis-

tence on showing only work by white

men, with clever hijinx while wear-

ing gorilla masks.

These were heady times. But

while some of the interviews convey

fascinating tales, others don’t shed

much light on this epic battle. Part of

the problem may be that the direc-

tor knows her subjects and their his-

tories too well. But we weren’t all

there watching the struggle take

place, and a more clearly stated

thesis could have gone a long way.

Confusing plot points distract from scenic locations in ‘Empire’

A capitalist epic from a land that

was soon to go communist, “Empire

of Silver” follows the travails of a

Shanxi banking dynasty in the early

20th century. The movie is occasion-

ally muddled and always melodra-

matic, yet it’s pictorially compel-

ling, thanks to dramatic locations

and exacting art direction.

The tale is set mostly in China’s

mountainous north and arid west,

and begins with a camel train in the

desert. The country has no central

bank or paper currency, so com-

merce is largely financed by the

Kangs, who are experts in the trade

and transportation of silver.

The patriarch, iron-willed Lord

Kang (Zhang Tielin), thinks he has

guaranteed his succession by hav-

ing four sons. But after mishaps

sideline three of the boys, Kang

must turn to his least businesslike

offspring, known simply as Third

Master (Aaron Kwok).

Third Master had withdrawn

from the family business after his

father married Third Master’s true

love (Hao Lei). Madame Kang still

pines for Third Master, and her mar-

riage to his father is one of sever-

al plot points that aren’t adequate-

ly explained.

A troubled undertaking, “Empire

of Silver” might not have been

released in the U.S. if not for the

small portion of dia-

logue in English.

THE BEAVER (PG-13, 91 minutes) In a triumph of cinema over celebrity gossip, “The Beaver” simply draws us into the story that Mel Gibson and director Jodie Foster want to tell. That story begins with Walter (Gibson), a man living apart from his spouse and two sons, sleepwalking through his job and self-medicating. He tries to commit suicide twice, and he can’t even pull that off. He awakens after both attempts with a furry, beady-eyed beaver puppet attached to his hand. Sud-denly, Walter is talking to himself using the beaver as his proxy. He tells Walter to get up and pull himself together. And that’s precisely what the man does, returning

Wiig plants a bawdy, brave and brashly feminist flag in the male-dominated raunch-com genre with “Bridesmaids.” Wiig plays Annie, a would-be cupcake entrepreneur whose business has taken it in the ganache with the economic downturn and whose love life consists of impromptu booty calls from her loath-somely narcissistic sex-buddy, Ted (Jon Hamm). When Annie learns that her life-long best friend, Lillian, is engaged — and that Annie is to be the maid of honor — the new reality sends her into a tailspin of envy, grief and self-loathing. But when it turns out that Lillian’s bridal party will also include the rich, thin, impos-sibly appropriate Helen Harris III (Rose Byrne), Annie’s insecurities metastasize into a florid case of overpowering Id.

Orchard” is a play about a real estate auction. Both statements are true, but they tell only half the story. “Everything Must Go” has been described, somewhat tentatively, as a “dramedy.” But despite a trailer that makes it look like a yuk-fest, the laughs are few and far between. Here, Raymond Carver brings us the tale of an alcoholic named Nick Halsey (Will Ferrell) who, in the space of 24 hours, loses his job, his wife, his house, his bank account and his bearings. There’s a cer-tain desperate absurdity to that, along with a lot of pain. But comic it ain’t. M.O.

FAST FIVE (PG-13, 130 minutes) The “Fast” series has followed the dangerous exploits of monotone street racer Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker), the ex-cop who gradually became Dom’s high-flying partner in crime. The duo’s latest impossible mission takes place in and around Rio de Janeiro’s congested favelas, where Toretto’s crew uses vital information stored on a stolen micro-chip to rob a sadistic drug kingpin (oily Joaquim de Almeida), all while avoiding Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), the road-raging federal bounty hunter ordered to bring these fugitives to justice. SEAN O’CONNELL

HANNA (PG-13, 111 minutes) The mesmer-izing heroine of “Hanna” — a semi-feral 16-year-old raised by her stay-at-home dad in the permafrost forests of Finland — can rattle off facts and figures about anatomy and geography in seven lan-guages, but she’s also a ruthless killing machine. Hanna has activated some kind of electronic homing beacon that tells the

movie’s bad girl, Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett), just where to find them. In short order, “Hanna” turns into a classic popcorn movie, subclassification: chase flick. Eat with one hand, because you’ll need the other to hang onto your seat, as the film lunges from Finland to Morocco to Spain to Germany, where Erik and his daughter have agreed to rendezvous. M.O.

HESHER (R, 102 minutes) Bad role models sometimes make the most interesting movie characters. The ill-mannered, unkempt, foulmouthed and hot-tempered title character of “Hesher” is just such a walking contradiction. The long-haired, tattooed loner (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is not the focal point of the film. Rather, it’s T. J. Forney (Devin Brochu), a grieving middle-schooler who has lost his

mother in a car accident. When the film opens, T.J. is pretty much on his own, with his father, Paul (Rainn Wilson), stuck in a stupor of prescription medication and self-pity, and his grandmother Madeleine lost in a fog of incipient dementia. When we first meet Hesher, he’s living in an abandoned building. After T.J. throws a rock through his window — inadvertently bringing the attention of the police — Hesher must find a new home. Soon he’s set up camp in the Forneys’ garage. M.O.

THE HANGOVER: PART II (R, 102 min-utes) A veritable textbook case of what not to do when re-making a comedy that depended on sheer surprise for most of its appeal, “The Hangover Part II” also inadvertently points out the weaknesses of the first movie. In “Part II,” director Todd Phillips follows the first movie beat-for-beat, switching a character and location here and there but never straying far from the original template. The movie opens with Bradley Cooper’s Phil — scruffy, sweaty, red-eyed — dole-fully calling Tracy, the impending bride from the first movie, to tell her that, once again, “We [screwed] up.” By “we,” of course, he means Alan (Zach Galifiana-kis) and Stu (Ed Helms), who is about to be married in Thailand. Once the posse lands in Thailand, “just one beer” two nights before the wedding turns into a similar bender, with the three principals awaking in a Bangkok hotel room with a monkey in a Rolling Stones vest and no memory of how they got there.

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN (Unrated, 86 minutes) “Hobo” breathes new life into the demented realm of grindhouse cinema — a world that had grown pretty stale to this point. Rutger Hauer plays the title role of the hobo, a down-on-his-luck loner who rides the rails into Hope Town and finds a stark reality that’s beyond bleak. Among the degenerates the hobo encounters roaming the streets are a pedophile in a Santa suit who kidnaps children and a sleazy mongrel who pays homeless men $10 so he can torture them on camera. When Hauer’s hobo finds himself caught in the middle of a pawn shop robbery, our “hero” plunks his last few dollars on the weapon of the title so he can clean up this filthy town — or, in reality, make it more grimy with the blood of the criminals he blows away.

KUNG FU PANDA 2 (PG, 92 minutes) In the satisfying, if less than sensational,

sequel to the funny, charming and action-packed animated feature from 2008, Po the panda (voice of Jack Black) returns in pursuit of inner peace, the defeat of a murderous peacock (Gary Oldman) and the truth about what happened to his real parents. What? You didn’t actually think that Mr. Ping (James Hong), the noodle-making Chinese goose from the first movie who raised Po as his son, was actu-ally our hero’s biological father, did you? The new movie puts that question to rest. It’s both a story about Po’s search for his origins and a reckoning with the bad guy responsible for Po’s identity crisis. M.O.

MEEK’S CUTOFF (PG, 104 minutes) On the Oregon Trail in 1845, a group of set-tlers crosses a swollen creek, carefully leading oxen and slowly hand-carrying their belongings to the other side. The action is wordless, grim and carried out with uncomplaining stoicism. The immigrants, three families, are led by Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood), a guide who has assured them that he knows of a shortcut through the Cascade Mountains. Meek’s a brash big-talker, but a trip that

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (PG-13, 94 minutes)From its rapturous opening sequence, “Midnight in Paris” announces that Woody Allen has returned to at least one of his most beloved forms. “Midnight in Paris” finds Allen in a larky, slightly tart and altogether bountiful mood. Owen Wilson plays Gil, a screenwriter and would-be serious author who’s visiting Paris with his fiancee, Inez (Rachel McAdams), and her parents. Gil is besotted with the Paris of the 1920s, when his heroes F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway traded dry martinis and even drier barbs with the likes of Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso. Inez and her family, on the other hand, couldn’t care less. The mood is doubly spoiled when they bump into Paul (Michael Sheen), an old college crush of Inez’s, now an incorrigible pedant. A.H.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES (PG-13, 128 minutes) “On Stranger Tides” feels as fresh and bracingly exhilarating as the day Jack Sparrow first swashed his buckle, infus-ing new reckless energy into a franchise that shows no signs of furling its sails. Anchored by playful androgynous Johnny Depp as the ever-cheeky Captain Jack, “On Stranger Tides” marks the return of stock “Pirates” players Geoffrey Rush (as Hector Barbossa) and Kevin R. McNally as friend and confederate Joshamee Gibbs. And it welcomes two new characters to the fold who slip into its fanciful, sometimes gently ribald world with uncanny ease: Ian McShane delivers a ruthless turn as the notorious Blackbeard. And Penelope Cruz deliv-ers an appropriately smoldering turn as a mysterious pirate named Angelica, whose storied past with Jack becomes clear in a few neat expository strokes. A.H.

POM WONDERFUL PRESENTS: THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER SOLD (PG-13, 88 minutes) This advertising-themed documentary is food for thought that’s fun to eat. If that last sentence sounds like an ad slogan, it’s not surprising. It’s hard to come out of “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” without a heightened sensitivity to the art of hyping, flacking and product placement. Morgan Spur-lock resolved to make a movie about

advertising that was entirely financed by advertising. He approached about 600 companies, 20 of which agreed to cover the film budget in return for promotional consideration. Spurlock succeeds at a risky game in which he offers up a critique of commercial co-opting by allowing himself to be commercially co-opted. M.O.

SOMETHING BORROWED (PG-13, 103 minutes) This sporadically comedic ro-mantic drama focuses on Rachel White (Ginnifer Goodwin), a successful lawyer who offers herself up as the world’s door-mat. Unattached and having just turned 30, Rachel is feeling forlorn, which is com-pounded by the fact that her best friend, Darcy (Kate Hudson), is marrying Rachel’s

law school crush. After a few drinks, Ra-chel tells Darcy’s fiance, Dexter, about her longstanding infatuation. Before you know it, the two are in bed and Rachel, who has always been a model best friend, is sud-denly the Other Woman. STEPHANIE MERRY

THOR (PG-13, 115 minutes) ”Thor” divides the world neatly into two camps. On one side are those who will recognize the names Volstagg, Hogun, Fandral and Sif as Thor’s homeboys and homegirl from Asgard. In the film, Lady Sif and the Warriors Three, as they’re known, follow their exiled and now largely powerless friend from Asgard to Earth, where Thor must learn the lesson of humility before he can again pick up his mighty hammer, called Mjolnir — or, as astrophysicist Darcy calls it, sarcastically, “myeh-nyeh” — and return home to defeat his usurping brother, Loki. On the other side are those for whom this whole thing sounds like just a bunch of myeh-nyeh. Even the bad guys wreaking havoc back in Asgard, called Frost Giants, seem more of a threat to frozen peas than to the future of the nine realms. “Thor” isn’t for everyone. But its silly summer sensibility might just convert one or two more open-minded members of the myeh-nyeh crowd. M.O.

they’ll roll in at Comet

Ping Pong Saturday with

their punk surfer sound.

They’ll be backed up

by the Beach Bloods and

Barreracudas. Comet Ping Pong, 5037 Connecticut Ave. NW;

Sat., 10:30 p.m., $10; 202-364-0404, Cometpingpong.com. (Van Ness)

But Is There Free Pie?Though the Sweet

Tea Pumpkin Pie music fes-

tival is named after at least

one too many types of food,

it’s an impressive collection

of not-well-known-but-well-

loved-by-those-who-know-

them mid-Atlantic musicians

(including Flo Anito, pictured)

appearing at six venues clus-

tered in the U Street-Shaw

area. Attendees must be at

least 21 years old. Various locations; Sat. and Sun., noon, free; Stppfest.com. (U St.-Cardozo)

Rock Their Little WorldForget Taylor Swift’s

weird, reductive brand of femi-

nism. If you want to empower little

girls, teach them how to play elec-

tric guitar. Girls Rock! DC is music

boot camp for little rabble-rous-

ers, and this weekend they’ll recruit

new (and very short) Joan Jetts

and Marnie Sterns at Sound Check.

They’ll screen a documentary about

the program; let girls try out instru-

ments and microphones; and offer

sign-ups for the summer session of

camp. 2217 14th St. NW; Sun., 1 p.m., free; 202-681-7625, Girlsrockdc.org. (U St.-Cardozo)

A Sea Shepherd crew member sees the Japanese whaling ship the Nisshin Maru.

DIS

CO

VE

RY

The documentary series

“Whale Wars” (Animal

Planet) enters its fourth

season with the captain and crew

of the Sea Shepherd smelling vic-

tory. Or maybe not. Their prey, the

Japanese Whale processing ship the

Nisshin Maru, returned to its home

port in mid-February. But was this

a victory in the war to end whaling,

or merely the end of one battle?

Not to give too much away here,

but how can you have a fourth sea-

son of “Whale Wars” without an

ongoing war? What are they going

to do? Declare “whale peace”?

The hardware engaged, and

destroyed, on this series has esca-

lated with each passing season. This

year, the activists will unveil their

new small vessel, the Gojira.

The reasons for the success of

“Whale Wars” are not hard to fath-

om. In some ways, it reflects the

most effective adaptation of the

“reality” documentary style to excit-

ing storytelling. It features the gor-

geous photography associated with

nature films and marries that to a

high-stakes drama with a deliber-

ate point of view.

You don’t have to agree with the

Sea Shepherds to recognize that they

are willing to die for their cause,

or to see that they could die at any

minute. At the same time, one man’s

zealot is another’s fanatic. How far

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are

close to solving a personal mystery, but

without the information another carries,

you can only get so far.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep your

priorities straight and you’ll be able to

anticipate the results of your actions

with remarkable accuracy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Make sure that

you are prepared to receive what is on

its way to you right now. This will take

more than routine readiness when all is

said and done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may be

surprised to learn that you have been

chosen for a singular honor — and when

the time comes, you’ll receive a lot of

attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are

expecting things to be calm and

uneventful, but in case you are mistak-

en, you’ll want to come to the party fully

prepared.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Before the

day is out, you’ll know whether you will

be able to keep a recent promise or not. If

not, you must be ready to make amends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Leave a plan up to someone who isn’t

used to making plans and you’re likely to

have a difficult time. Rely on an expert.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be walking into a situation you

cannot control yourself, but, fortunate-

ly, someone who can accompanies you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Things are not entirely as they seem. Do

what you can to maximize the value of

the information available to you; don’t

guess.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) If you find

yourself far from home, you’ll want to

be sure that you are able to communi-

cate freely when the opportunity arises.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The deci-

sions you make are not likely to affect

you as deeply as you expect, but you

shouldn’t make them too lightly, surely.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Being ready does not mean doing so

much that you are unable to be flexible

if the situation requires it of you. Mobility

may be the key.

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the

digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The

twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that

appear in the overlapping boxes must work

for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you

started: Don’t focus on completing one grid

at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as

you go, because filling in a number in one grid

could give you clues to another.
