New revelations on al-Qaedas 9/11 movements

WIKILEAKS DISCLOSURES
Papers offer details about most Guantanamo detainees
P ETER F INN On Sept. 11, 2001, the core of al-Qaeda was concentrated in a single city: Karachi, Pakistan. At a hospital, the accused mastermind of the bombing of the USS Cole was recovering from a tonsillectomy. Nearby, the alleged organizer of the 2002 bombing in Bali, Indonesia, was buying lab equipment for a biological weapons program. And in a safe house, the man who would later describe himself as the intellectual author of the Sept. 11 attacks was with other key al-Qaeda members watching the scenes from New York and Washington unfold on television. Within a day, much of the al-Qaeda leadership was on the way back to Afghanistan, planning for a long war. A cache of classified military documents obtained by the antisecrecy organization WikiLeaks presents new details of their whereabouts on Sept. 11, 2001, and their movements afterward. The documents also offer some tantalizing glimpses into the whereabouts and operations of Osama bin Laden and his Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. The documents, provided to European and U.S. news outlets, including The Washington Post, are intelligence assessments of

No prospective Republican presidential candidate has done more to highlight the issue of debt and deficits than Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. He calls it the new red menace, an ocean of red ink that he says is every bit as dangerous as the Soviet nuclear threat during the Cold War. His call to arms gives him a provocative though politically risky platform for a potential 2012 presidential candidacy. Daniels thinks dealing with the debt problem will require a potentially dramatic restructuring of Medicare for future recipients, revamping Medicaid to slow its spending, and altering Social Security for todays younger workers by raising the retirement age and recalculating the cost-of-living formula. What Daniels has long been advocating dovetails with the budget blueprint recently unveiled by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). His entry into the race could ensure that a debate between President Obama and Ryan becomes a central issue of the 2012 campaign. More than any other potential candidate, Daniels would test whether voters are ready for the kind of stiff medicine he prescribes. But Daniels also would challenge his own party, with a message that calls for focusing on daniels continued on A16

sparks, nev. Reprimanded by his states ethics commission for a conflict of interest on a development vote, Sparks City Council member Michael A. Carrigan arrives at the U.S. Supreme Court with an unusual status. I have the distinction of being the only elected official in Nevada to ever be brought up on

ethics charges for losing a vote, Carrigan said. The question is whether Carrigan should even have participated in an application for a new casino in this boomtown near Reno. It has turned into a major constitutional showdown with national implications for how states may police public officials who face a potential conflict of interest in conducting the peoples business. It also comes at a time when ethics and conflict-of-interest issues have taken on a new resonance in the nations political discussions. Carrigans state has been

rocked by the scandal involving Sen. John Ensign (R), who announced last week he is resigning. The U.S. Supreme Court strode into the conflict-of-interest issue in 2009, ruling that an elected judge should have recused himself when a major campaign donor came before him. And the justices themselves are under increasing scrutiny from the left and the right about whether their activities outside the courtroom cast doubt on their neutrality inside it. Against such a backdrop, Carrigans case seems like routine ethics continued on A7

nearly every one of the 779 individuals who have been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2002. In them, analysts have created detailed portraits of detainees based on raw intelligence, including material gleaned from interrogations. Detainees are assessed high, medium or low in terms of their intelligence value, the threat they pose while in detention and the continued threat they might pose to the United States if released. The documents tend to take a bleak view of the detainees, even those who have been ordered released by the federal courts because of a lack of evidence to justify their continued detention. And the assessments are often based, in part, on reporting by informants at the military detention center, sources that some judges have found wanting. In a statement, the Pentagon, which described the decision to publish some of the material as unfortunate, stressed the incomplete and snapshot nature of detainees continued on A7

CORRECTIONS
 The Robert McCartney column in the April 17 Metro section incorrectly said that a Washington Gas subsidiary opposed a Maryland bill to fund construction of offshore wind turbines. The Maryland Chamber of Commerce, of which Washington Gas is a member, opposed the bill. Washington Gas and its subsidiaries did not take a position on the legislation.  An April 7 Metro article about Lorraine Green, the chairman of D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Grays campaign and transition team, incorrectly stated that Green attorney Thomas C. Green said the transition director, Reuben O. Charles II, was responsible for vetting, interviewing and establishing the salaries of staff members. He was referring only to the transition staff and said that administrative staff decisions were handled by the Department of Human Resources. The article also incorrectly referred to Charles as Reuben O. Charles III.

Debates are growing at home and abroad over the increasing use of remotely piloted, armed drones, with a new study by the British Defense Ministry questioning whether advances in their capabilities will lead future decision-makers to resort to war as a policy option far sooner than previously. Active and retired U.S. Air Force officers involved in developing drones stress that the aircraft brings in more decisionmakers, better targeting data and more accurate delivery systems than fighter jets. But use of the unmanned aerial vehicles has drawn growing public scrutiny based on their lethal attacks in Pakistan against al-Qaeda, in Afghanistan against the Taliban, in Yemen against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and most recently in Libya, as announced Thursday by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates. The British study noted that drones are becoming increasingly automated. With minor technical advances, it said, a drone could soon be able to fire a weapon based solely on its own sensors, or shared information, and without recourse to higher, human authority. It cautioned that the Defense Ministry currently has no intention to develop such systems. Nonetheless, the aircraft, piloted by people far from the battlefield, represents an approaching technological tipping point that may well deliver a genuine revolution in military

The use of drones in conflicts in the Middle East has become mired in controversy as the aircraft have been blamed for civilian deaths.

affairs, according to the Joint Doctrine Note, which was conducted under the direction of the British Chiefs of Staff. Titled The United Kingdom Approach to Unmanned Aircraft Systems, it was first disclosed last week by the Guardian newspaper. The British study said it was essential that military officials not risk losing our controlling humanity and make war more likely by using armed drones. It also asserted, however, that the laws of war call on commanders on both sides of the fight to limit loss of life and that use of unmanned aircraft prevents the potential loss of aircrew lives and is thus in itself morally justified. At a Washington conference of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) last week, the issue of drones was also widely discussed. Lt. Col. Bruce Black, program manager for the Air Force Predator and Reaper aircraft, noted that some 180 people are involved in each drone mission. The result, he said, is that there

is more ethical oversight involved with unmanned air vehicles than with manned aircraft. At the same conference, former CIA director Michael V. Hayden described how, with a Predator circling overhead, those involved in ordering use of its missiles from thousands of miles away can call up computer maps that show the potential effects of each weapon. Before any of the Hellfire missiles are launched, he said, the backup team asks for the the bug splat of the attack a readout of the impact the missile would have on its ground target. Nothing comparable can be done with ground-supporting manned aircraft, he said. But the drones have become part of the propaganda war where they are used. Without referencing the Taliban or al Qaeda, the British paper noted that insurgents have cast themselves as the underdog against a cowardly bully . . . that is unwilling to risk his own troops, but is happy to kill remotely. Retired Lt. Gen. David Deptu-

la, former Air Force deputy chief of staff for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, acknowledged that the use of drones comes with potential problems with public perceptions. Our adversaries have interjected this as a question in [peoples] minds, as an attempt to limit the use of what is very, very effective, he said. At the IISS conference, participants were asked whether drone operators had been desensitized to killing, because they were so far away from the battlefield. Col. Dean Bushey, deputy director of the Air Force Joint Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center, pointed out that the crews that run Predators in Nevada go through the exact routines that airplane pilots do prior to a mission. They go through a restricted area, wear brown flight suits, receive a mission brief and are put into a warrior ethos before ever stepping into a ground control station. You are executing a mission to save lives, he said. Black said that when a Predator operator is connected to a fighter on the ground in Afghanistan, you can hear his voice and you can hear the bullets whistling over his head. You feel that pressure. He vividly described an operator in Nevada, sitting at a computer console and listening and looking at his colleague thousands of miles away through a micro-picture view. My situational awareness of what he is going through at that time is probably better than a guy that showed up at 10 minutes on station and dropped a weapon and left, Black said. I see my effects, I watched, I listened, I was with him the five hours prior to that. . . . Id say we are very much in the fight.

Financial experts have said they hope Washington is headed for a moment of realism on the national debt ceiling, when politicians conclude the issue is too

risky to be used as a political football. Sunday was not that moment. Instead, on the weekly political talk shows, several top Republicans and a prominent Democrat said they might not vote to raise the limit on federal borrowing. They did so despite warnings that this exact kind of threat if carried far enough could destabilize financial markets and make the countrys IOUs harder to pay. Maybe or maybe not, Sen.

Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) said when asked on CBSs Face the Nation if he would vote to raise the limit. Kirk, like several others interviewed Sunday, said he wanted better assurances that federal spending would be curbed. I will vote no on the debt ceiling unless we have comprehensive, dramatic, effective and broad-based cuts to federal spending, including changes to entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, Kirk said. His suggestion: attach to the debt-ceiling bill a report on spending cuts from the bipartisan group of senators known as the Gang of Six. For now, however, this report does not exist. On NBCs Meet the Press, host David Gregory asked two of the Gang of Six members if it was coming anytime soon. If we dont have an agreement soon, we wont be relevant to this discussion, said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), who chairs the Senate Budget Committee. Do you intend to be relevant? Gregory asked. We intend to be relevant, Conrad said. It was as specific as he got. The hope is that well have a deal, said Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), also appearing on Meet the Press. That was as specific as he got. The debt ceiling, an official limit on the countrys borrowing, has been raised almost 100 times since it was first set in 1917. It now stands at $14.3 trillion. Federal borrowing is on pace to exceed that as soon as May 16, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner has said, but unconventional financial measures could

extend the date to July 8. If no more borrowing is allowed after that, the country could be forced to default on its debt obligations. That, experts say, could upend the worlds financial markets and increase interest payments on U.S. debt. Leaders from both parties have signaled some openness to compromise. President Obama has said that cuts in federal spending will be required to win the approval of the Republicanled House. Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) has demanded serious cuts but also has assured administration officials and Wall Street executives that he thinks raising the debt ceiling is the responsible thing to do. But on Sunday, Conrad would not guarantee he would do it. I will not vote for any longterm extension of the debt, more than a year, unless there is a plan [to reduce the debt] in process, Conrad said. And Coburn said: The idea that . . . this is catastrophic is wrong. What is catastrophic is continuing to spend money that we dont have on things we dont absolutely need. On CBS, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said he would vote to raise the limit. The answer is unequivocally yes, he said. But Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), a House freshman, said the impact of not raising the limit is being overstated. He also would not vote for raising the limit unless Washingtons ways had changed. There is no way we should raise the debt ceiling unless this city is serious about cutting up the credit cards, he said.

St. Louis airport resumes some flights after tornado

A SSOCIATED P RESS Lambert-St. Louis International Airport resumed a partial schedule of flights Sunday after the areas most powerful tornado in decades ripped off part of the roof and shattered hundreds of windows at the main terminal. The airport expects all 256 daily departures to be back on schedule by the middle of the week. About 60 percent of the daily departures were slated to take off Easter Sunday, as area residents were still sorting through the debris and rubble. Airlines said the effect on other hubs was minimal because of the limited number of flights out of Lambert. American Airlines, which was housed in the damaged Concourse C and operates 31 daily flights out of Lambert, planned to resume flights on Monday. Crews were working over the weekend to ready a nearby concourse that had been closed for several years. Southwest Airlines the biggest carrier at the airport, with 85 daily departures was operating at a full schedule with no delays or cancellations. The carrier operates out of a terminal that suffered minimal damage. Cape Air, a regional carrier that also operated out of Concourse C, is scheduled to resume its flights Tuesday. Concourse C has been closed indefinitely. The nearly 24-hour shutdown of Lambert came after the St. Louis area suffered its most powerful tornado in 44 years. Several hundred homes were damaged and up to 100 were said to be destroyed.

Giffords, improving her gait, wants to walk a mountain
Doctors put her among top 5% of patients with similar injury
A SSOCIATED P RESS bowling and indoor golf, all small steps on the way to someday walking that mountain. Giffords uses her left side and has begun making limited use of her right arm and leg, a common effect of a bullet wound on the left side of the brain. Her left side is perfect, said Pia Carusone, her legislative chief of staff. She can do whatever you can do. She said that even in her wheelchair Giffords retains the tall, tight, strong posture she had before the shooting. Dong Kim, the neurosurgeon who oversees Giffordss care, said most of the physical and speech included her friends and colleagues Gabe Zimmerman and Judge John Roll, or a 9-year-old girl, and three others, the kind of older constituents she loves to help. Kelly said he wants her to be able to process the emotions without fighting so hard for the words. The challenge is she knows what she wants to say, and she knows everything thats going on around her, Carusone said, but cant always express it. Its frustrating for her. Shell sigh out of exasperation. The Republic reported that Kelly comes in the morning with coffee and the newspaper, heads to work at NASA, and returns to Giffords at night to talk through their days. Sometimes he takes a nap with his wife in her hospital bed. Its a twin-size mattress, so he holds her close. When he comes into the room, Giffords breaks into an oversize smile, Poteet said, reaching out her good arm to beckon him to her side, give him a half-hug. Though doctors have not yet approved the trip to Cape Canaveral for the shuttle launch, they said it should be safe. Were very comfortable with her traveling, Kim said. Kelly, who has been to space before, said his job will be a little bit harder this time, just because I want to look out for her. He said he wants her in Florida but if she isnt there, it wouldnt be the end of the world, either. Kelly will phone Giffords during the mission, but he expects the conversations to be different than on his last flight. On one of my last calls to her from space, she was walking from the Capitol back over to Rayburn [House Office Building] with Miles OBrien from CNN. Now, he will ask her how things are going and how shes doing and whats her day like, he said. They have a particular phone goodbye, but thats a secret, he said.

Gabrielle Giffords can walk a little and is even trying to improve her gait. But a report Sunday in the Arizona Republic describes the Democratic congresswoman as having much grander plans to walk a mountain. Those close to her said Giffords speaks most often in a single word or declarative phrase: Love you, Awesome. She also longs to leave the rehab center, repeating, I miss Tucson. The Republic report containing interviews over the past few days with her husband, doctors and others close to her gives the latest picture of her recovery 15 weeks after a gunman opened fire in a Tucson parking lot, killing six people and wounding her and 12 others. The physicians place her in the top 5 percent of patients recovering from her type of brain injury, the newspaper said.

Teen suspect sought in fatal shooting

Police in southern Kansas say a 16-year-old who was on a weekend pass from a childrens home fatally shot a 17-year-old boy and critically wounded his own 17-year-old sister after finding them together. Wichita police say the shooting happened about 1 a.m. Sunday, and the shooter remains at large. Police Sgt. Jesse Boomer said police responded to the home after getting a report of shots fired. He said the boy was dead and the girl was taken to Wesley Medical Center, where she was in critical condition. Boomer says the 16-year-old was upset that his sister was having relations with the male victim. Police say the shooter was out on a pass from the Wichita Childrens Home, an emergency, temporary shelter for abused and neglected teenagers and runaways.

An Idaho miner trapped underground nine days ago most likely was buried when the collapse occurred and is presumed to be dead, mining company officials said Sunday.

We now believe that Larry was under the fall of ground when it occurred, Baker said in a video posted on Heclas Web site.

recovery happens within nine to 12 months, but a patients ability to think can improve for years. There were hopeful language signs even on the March day that Giffords learned about the people killed during the Jan. 8 Tucson rampage. Kelly said he was reading a newspaper story about her out loud when she noticed he skipped a paragraph. He said he hadnt realized how well she could read. That paragraph told of the casualties in the Tucson shooting news that set Giffords grieving. So many people, so many people, Giffords repeated. Poteet said she would find Giffords with heavy looks on her face, repeating no-no-no-no-no. For that reason, Kelly said, he hasnt told her that the victims

said investigators think the two were in their tents and inside their sleeping bags when they were swept up in an avalanche last weekend. Skaggs says rescuers found the bodies of Walker Pannell Kuhl, 27, and Gregory Seftick, 31, on Sunday after a six-day search.

THE ENVIRONMENT
A survey of big cats shows increase in count, but critics demur
Some conservationists say Indian governments tiger census, conducted every four years, is inadequate despite adoption of cameras and satellite mapping
BY R AMA L AKSHMI IN NAGARHOLE, INDIA

erding cats is notoriously difficult, and even counting them presents a challenge. Particularly when they are big cats. Adding up wild tigers is a major undertaking that the Indian government completed last month after a yearlong $2 million sampling exercise with 470,000 forest foot patrols and 880 hidden cameras. The count, conducted every four years, estimated that the number of tigers in the wild in India has gone up from 1,411 in 2006 to 1,706. The government is also investigating and reporting their deaths by sending a ranger team accompanied by independent observers every time a tiger carcass is found. Officials say that tight monitoring measures such as these have helped protect the endangered cat and reduced the chances of fudging the records to inflate the numbers. But not everyone is rushing to celebrate the count. Some conservationists say that it does not reflect a real progress in the conservation of big cats. Tigers have a very high birth and death rate. You cannot track the decline and survival of the tiger population in surveys conducted every four years. The government should conduct annual surveys using cameras in a more intensive manner, said K. Ullas Karanth, director of the Center for Wildlife Studies and a pioneer in India in using camera traps to monitor tigers in the southwestern state of Karnataka. Since various threats faced by tigers do not appear to have diminished in last four years, it is difficult to explain the claimed reversal of the decline of tigers. Not too long ago, India counted its tigers through the old paw-print method. But after re-

About 100 years ago, there were almost 100,000 tigers in the world, but their number has reduced drastically to about 3,500 today.

ports that the method was prone to human errors and fraud, officials adopted camera trapping for the first time in 2006, during the previous census. In the cur-

rent 2010 census, about 550 individual tigers were identified from photographs based on their unique stripe patterns. There were three phases.

First, we physically collected data about tiger presence through paw prints and scratch marks on trees. Then we examined the condition of the prey and used satellite mapping to assess forest cover. And finally we used camera traps in representative areas, said B.K. Singh, chief wildlife warden of Karnataka. But some conservationists say that about 13 areas sampled this time were not included in the 2006 estimate. And these account for 288 of the 295 additional tigers reported. There were also reports that a few cameras malfunctioned and had to be replaced, thereby increasing the odds for data distortion. The cameras also showed a time lag, with photographs taken only after the tiger had walked away from most of the frame. In many places, the cameras were kept beyond the recommended 45 days in one spot. About 100 years ago, there were almost 100,000 tigers in the

world, but poaching, habitat destruction, human encroachment and illegal trafficking in tiger parts have drastically reduced their numbers. The current world total is about 3,500. Last year, a 13-nation study by the wildlife trade monitoring watchdog called TRAFFIC reported that at least 1,069 tigers were killed in the past decade to procure bones, claws and skin. Of the 481 seizures analyzed, 276 were in India. It is an organized, transnational crime. Tigers are poached in India, and the products move via Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan, and sold in China, Korea and Taiwan, said Samir Sinha, head of TRAFFICIndia. In January, eight countries in the region formed the South Asia Wildlife Enforcement Network to clamp down on poachers and traffickers. The arrests in tiger trade are often of people who transport the material. The killer or the ultimate buyer is rarely arrested. In Nagarhole, a team recently

found that villagers had removed a dead tigers claws. One tiger claw fetches $12 locally but is sold for 10 times as much in the international market. Rampant poaching reduced the number of tigers in the northern Indian Sariska National Park from 25 in 2003 to zero in 2004, setting off national alarm. Two years ago, the park brought in five tigers from another reserve. But they have not bred, and one tiger has died. Conservationists here call it the Sariska debacle because officials brought in the new tigers without stopping a marble mining project inside the park. Tigers have disappeared from about one-fourth of the area they inhabited four years ago. Big cat biologists say that there is less opportunity and space for the tigers to disperse. As the Indian economy grows at a frenetic pace and the human population swells, biologists say that the tiger habitat will continue to shrink, further boxing the animals into isolated patches. In Karnataka, rangers and Wildlife Conservation Society activists have fought to prevent the irreparable loss of tiger-movement corridors because of development projects. They have opposed new railway lines, highway expansion, mining projects and new dams. In 2008, they campaigned to stop a World Bank-funded project to expand 13 miles of road inside the tigerbearing forest and forced a ban on daily vehicle traffic for 12 hours, from dusk to dawn. About four miles of traffic was also diverted outside the park. Forest officials in Karnataka recently increased by three times the compensation package for forest-dwelling villagers relocation outside the park, to $2,300. Six months ago, Cheluva Timma, 60, moved out of the Nagarhole forest with his family into a row of cement houses in a treeless landscape. The compensation was good. The human conflict with tigers, elephants, wild pigs was on the rise. We were always living in fear, said Timma, whose family had lived in the forest for generations. But Indian conservationists are divided on creating inviolate tiger habitats and working with forest-dwelling communities. Some point out that a landmark 2006 Forest Rights Act, enshrining the right of forest communities to their land, contradicts the conservation efforts to coax people to move out of tiger habitats. A number of lawsuits have been filed, including one in the Indian Supreme Court, asking the courts for clarification.

Violence erupts near 2 churches in Baghdad
Easter Sunday bombing, firefight intensify fears among Christians
BY

A ARON C . D AVIS

baghdad A makeshift bomb detonated near a church and a firefight broke out in front of another here on Easter Sunday, further raising safety concerns for Iraqs besieged Christian community, although it remained unclear whether worshipers or police were the primary targets. Iraqi police said the bomb was set to explode when a police pickup truck pulled away from Sacred Heart church, which it did after all parishioners had been cleared from the area following Easter Mass. In a second attack not far away, four Iraqi police officers were wounded in a firefight with gunmen outside Mary the Virgin Catholic Church as congregants huddled inside. Thank God no one was hurt. Every member made it out safely, said a church member. The man, who said that Mass was underway when the gunfire erupted, spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. At least two Iraqi policemen and two passersby suffered shrapnel wounds from the bomb outside Sacred Heart church in Baghdads relatively upscale Karrada neighborhood. But a cameraman for Reuters reported seeing three injured officers and four injured civilians at a Baghdad hospital. Four Iraqi police officers suffered gunshot wounds in the firefight. Late Sunday, a police spokesman said an explosion near an Iraqi army checkpoint in northern Baghdad wounded seven, though witnesses said there were fatalities. The violence occurred despite a stifling security presence in the Iraqi capital Sunday, after a string of recent attacks against Iraqi police, army officers and government workers. There were also mixed reports about whether Iraqi security forces suffered additional casualties Sunday. Iraqi government sources said as many as 10 police officers were killed across the country, but the Ministry of Interiors Baghdad office reported no deaths. The blast sent another shock wave through Baghdads Christian community. In October, 51 members of another Catholic congregation and seven Iraqi security officers were killed when gunmen stormed Our Lady of Salvation Church during a Mass and later detonated suicide vests as police closed in. Saturday night, Iraqs state-run television broadcast Mass, allowing many Christians in the capital to worship from home rather than venture out in public. Hundreds of thousands of Christians have fled Baghdad and southern portions of the country, including the biblical area known as Babylon, which is dominated by Shiite Muslims.

LETTER FROM CHERNOBYL

25 years after nuclear crisis, the sense of betrayal lingers

and doctors misleading. Anatoly eventually got his old job back, at Chernobyl, rotating out every two weeks to limit his exposure to radiation. Today hes an invalid. In the summer of 1986, while he was being treated at a Moscow hospital, she remembers they were told not to talk to reporters, especially foreigners. We were great patriots back then, she said. But we were cheated. We were abandoned. Those feelings lingered in households throughout Ukraine. Chernobyls legacy joined the great current of troubles afflicting the Soviet Union in its last days. Although President George H.W. Bush came here in 1991 and urged Ukrainians not to give up on Moscow, no one listened. The country was teetering: a wrecked economy, a failed coup in August, an upsurge in nationalist feeling, the three Baltic republics going their own way, an exhausted ideology. On Dec. 1, 1991, Ukrainians overwhelmingly voted for independence. That was the irrevocable moment. By Christmas, the U.S.S.R. was history. Chernobyls role? It galvanized the fledgling environmental movement, which, as Canadian historian David Marples points out, joined in the push for independence and seemed poised in 1991 to become an important political player. But that moment passed. A more fundamental legacy of Chernobyl, said Zhdanov, was the mistrust it sowed. It wasnt the accident itself that embittered people, but the way the authorities handled it. Chernobyl made it clear that Moscow wasnt going to look after Ukraine, and when a sea of other troubles descended, people remembered that one lesson.

kiev After Chernobyl, there was no

turning back. The Soviet Union had already set out on its long road to collapse, but 25 years ago on Tuesday, April 26, 1986, the explosion at reactor No. 4 marked the moment when control at the top, and faith at the bottom, began to unravel. Even today, Ukrainians, who achieved independence five years after the disaster, remember the fear of radiation and of the unknown but more pointedly, they remember their sense of betrayal. Now they hear distant echoes of Chernobyl as Japan struggles, not always transparently, to deal with the Fukushima crisis. But the contrast with the Soviet response is stark. Igor Zhdanov was a first-year university student here in spring 1986. April 26 came and went and no one seemed the wiser. Six days after the explosion, with only a small and inaccurate story about it in the papers, Communist Party officials went ahead with a big May Day parade down Kievs main street, the Kreshchatik, 70 miles from Chernobyl. Some of Zhdanovs classmates marched together as a university contingent. It was a glorious day. Five or six days later, a professor called him. Why are you here? Youre done with your exams. Get out of Kiev, he barked. Zhdanov, whod still been hearing only rumors, decided to go. He remembers how he got to the train station to find it jammed with people, a crowd on the edge of panic. Luggage was everywhere. He went to buy a ticket and the clerk shouted at him, What are you talking about? Just get on a train!

A cooling tower seen from an abandoned building sits unfinished since the 1986 explosion at reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Thats how Zhdanov, who today runs a political think tank here, realized how bad the situation was not how bad the radiation was, because there was still no information released on that, but how bad the reaction was. The first real account didnt appear in the press until a few days later. The scene at the train station, though, showed the power of the grapevine. People were saying that Communist leaders had gotten their families out of Kiev ahead of everyone else, and that Moscow had ordered the May Day parade to proceed despite the apparent danger. Rumors flourished in the absence of news, and they have since become durable (and in some cases accurate) legends. The Chernobyl Museum here features a poignant photograph of young women marching down the Kreshchatik on May 1, smiling and oblivious.

In Pripyat, where Chernobyls workers lived, it was less of a secret. On April 27, residents encountered soldiers wearing gas masks. Anatoly Vinokur was an ambulance driver, among the first to respond to the disaster. He worked two shifts in a row. It nearly killed him. His wife, Lyudmila, now 62, remembers asking him as he was being taken to the hospital why he hadnt thought of his family before risking his life. Dont worry, he told her. The Motherland will take care of you. But she thinks the Motherland turned its back on them. It wasnt just the authorities silence in the first two weeks. Official indifference became an enduring part of the Chernobyl story. As if they were lepers, no one wanted to hire the Vinokurs. Financial assistance they were entitled to usually fell short. Medical care, she feels, was inadequate,

Palestinian police kill 1 Israeli, wound 4

Palestinian police opened fire on a group of Israelis who had sneaked in to pray at a Jewish holy site in the West Bank city of Nablus on Sunday, killing one and wounding four, officials on both sides said. Palestinian officials said that the worshipers, who were in three cars, had ignored warning shots after arriving in the early morning hours for an unauthorized visit. Officials said the policemen involved were held for questioning. Israeli and Palestinian officials are jointly investigating the incident. The shooting occurred near Josephs Tomb, a site inside Palestinian-controlled Nablus that Jewish settlers and strictly Orthodox Jews periodically visit to pray under Israeli army escort. The visits are coordinated with the Palestinian police. The Sunday visit by members of the Breslov Hasidic sect was unauthorized, the Israeli army said. Palestinian officials told Israeli liaison officers that a policeman opened fire at the worshipers after identifying suspicious movements, according to an army statement. A member of the Israeli group told the Israeli news Web site Ynet that the worshipers had removed a spike roadblock set up by the Palestinian police, sped toward the tomb in their cars as warning shots were fired in the air and then came under fire while driving back

from the tomb. Nablus Gov. Jibril al-Bakri told Israel Radio that warning shots were fired in the air and that if the policemen had indeed fired at the Israelis, it was by mistake. The dead man was identified as BenYosef Livnat, 25, a nephew of Limor Livnat, a cabinet minister from Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahus Likud party. As the victims funeral headed for Jerusalem, attacks were reported on Palestinian property near Nablus. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak issued a statement calling the killing a murder.

Police stopped the worshipers from the Shouwang church as they gathered near a public plaza in the citys university district, then bussed them to a police station. It was not clear whether they had been arrested. A church member told the Associated Press by phone Saturday night that he and the churchs pastors and leaders were under house arrest.
Weapons caches, bombmaking equipment found in Northern Ireland: Police in Northern Ireland said Sunday that they found bombmaking equipment in South Armagh. The discovery Saturday night came after several weapons caches, which police think belonged to dissident republican groups, were uncovered in the county. On Friday, police seized weapons and explosives from a storage facility in Omagh and arrested three men. A policeman was killed in a bombing in the area three weeks ago. Thai, Cambodian troops fight for third straight day: Troops from Thailand and Cambodia clashed Sunday for the third day in a row in a border conflict that has left 10 soldiers dead, injured more than 30 and forced the evacuation of villages in both countries. The two sides have been exchanging rifle and artillery fire since Friday on their common border near the disputed temples of Ta Kwai and Ta Muean. Each side has accused the other of starting the fighting.

5 days of clashes claim at least 105 lives in south

At least 105 people were killed in clashes last week between government forces and a rebel militia in semiautonomous southern Sudan, an official said Sunday, raising concerns of southern instability ahead of the regions independence declaration in July.

At Mexican grave site, a new level of barbarity

san fernando, mexico At

the largest mass grave site ever found in Mexico, where 177 bodies have been pulled from deep pits, authorities say they have recovered few bullet casings and little evidence that the dead were killed with a gun. Instead, most died of blunt force trauma to the head, and a sledgehammer found at the crime scene this month is believed to have been used in the executions, according to Mexican investigators and state officials. The search continued Sunday, with state officials warning they expect the count to rise. They say as many as 122 of the victims were passengers dragged off buses at drug cartel roadblocks on the major highway to the United States. The mass killings of civilians at isolated ranches 90 minutes south of the Texas border mark a new level of barbarity in Mexicos four-year U.S.-backed drug war. As forensic teams and Mexican marines dig through deeper and darker layers here, the buried secrets in San Fernando are challenging President Felipe Calderons assertions that his government is winning the war and is in control of Mexicos cities and roads. In the past four years, more than 35,000 people have been killed and thousands more have simply disappeared, since Calderon sent the military to battle Mexican organized crime with $1.6 billion in U.S. support. U.S. officials in Mexico worry that criminal gangs are taking over sections of the vital border region not by overwhelming firepower but through sheer terror. On Thursday, cartel gunmen sacked the city of Miguel Aleman, across the river from Roma, Tex., tossing grenades and burning down three car dealerships, an auto parts outlet, a furniture store and a gas station. Three buses were strafed with gunfire Saturday in separate attacks, wounding three people. The U.S. State Department issued new warnings Friday advising Americans to defer nonessential travel to the entire border state of Tamaulipas and large swaths of Mexico because of the threat of armed robbery, carjacking, kidnapping and murder by organized crime. In the red dirt tombs of San Fernando, almost all the bodies were stripped of identification, meaning no licenses, bus ticket stubs or photographs of loved ones, according to interviews with local and state officials, making the job of notifying next of kin especially difficult. Forensic photographs shown to The Washington Post depict mummified bodies caked in dirt and badly decomposed, with signs of extreme cranial trauma. In the largest two graves, holding 43 and 45 bodies, the corpses were piled atop one another in a 10-foot-deep pit dug by a backhoe, that criminals filled over in the past four months. The red nail polish on a young victims toe stands out in one photograph, along with her XSsize undergarments. Officials in Tamaulipas say they have found 34 grave sites scattered in a wide arc around this farming town of 60,000, where Mexican marines last week established a military camp for ground and helicopter patrols. Evidence suggests that the dead include Mexicans and Central American migrants traveling to the United States to work. Only a few of the exhumed bodies have been identified, including those

Hunting for loved ones

Most of the bodies recovered from San Fernando were taken to the morgue in Matamoros, across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas. Families of the missing have taped photocopied fliers about their loved ones to the walls of state forensic offices there, and more than 400 people have arrived to provide DNA samples. MISSING, the fliers read: Eli Octavio Juarez, 17, last seen March 20 in a 1995 Ford Explorer with tinted windows. And Emmanuel Alejandro Zuniga, missing March 9, en route to Ciudad Victoria call his mama. Raul Lopez Zunun, a 70-yearold farmer, traveled 1,100 miles by bus from his home in southern Mexico to the forensic lab in Matamoros, clutching a photocopied picture of his son Israel Lopez. He went missing in the area in late March while en route to a job in Ohio. Were looking for him in all the hospitals here, said Lopez, who grows corn and coffee on a small farm in Chiapas. I told him not to go.

of a local car salesman, a federal social worker and a Guatemalan immigrant. Authorities have arrested 76 suspects, including alleged local Zeta boss Martin El Kilo Estrada, a husky, menacing figure covered in tattoos who authorities paraded before television cameras and charged as the mastermind of the homicides. Motives for the mass killings remain a matter of speculation. Perhaps we are seeing in the graves the results of several different confrontations and crimes committed over many months, said Morelos Canseco Gomez, the lieutenant governor of Tamaulipas. Canseco said authorities are still looking for an entire bus loaded with passengers that vanished on the border in March.

Savage discoveries
At least nine graves scattered

around San Fernando contained only a single corpse, and some of the burial sites might hold not kidnap victims but fallen cartel comrades killed in shootouts with rivals, Canseco said. The families of passengers taken off buses here did not receive ransom demands, investigators say, and so the victims appear not to have been killed for large sums of money, only what they might have had in their wallets and purses. The savage method of execution is also unexplained, with shuddering investigators left guessing at the mental state of the killers. Officials say some victims may have been snatched to serve as forced recruits for the Zetas crime organization, according to five bus passengers abducted but later rescued. San Fernando is the same place where 72 migrants from Central and South America were kid-

napped and fatally shot in August, bringing condemnation from the United Nations and new focus on the perils faced by travelers crossing Mexico en route to the U.S. border. After the massacre, Calderon sent the Mexican military to retake the town, vowing to protect migrants and Mexican families. But as attention on San Fernando faded, federal forces withdrew and locals say the crime gangs quickly muscled their way back in. People began to disappear, said Ramon Ruiz, an apprentice priest in San Fernando. First it was people with money, then it was anyone. They kidnapped a local farmers son and demanded $10,000, and when he gave them $5,000 everything he had they sent him half of his son. The criminals commandeered nearby ranches, killing the owners or driving them off, then converted barns and sheds into holding pens and execution chambers. Silence choked the town until late last month, when state authorities received calls that large groups of bus travelers were kidnapped along Highway 101 on March 24 and 29. Soldiers followed a tip down a maze of dirt roads out to a ranch miles off the main highway, where they freed five kidnapping

New details on bin Ladens post-9/11 movements revealed

detainees from A1 the assessments, known as Detainee Assessment Briefs, or DABs. The Guantanamo Review Task Force, established in January 2009, considered the DABs during its review of detainee information, said Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell and Ambassador Daniel Fried, the Obama administrations special envoy on detainee issues. In some cases, the Task Force came to the same conclusions as the DABs. In other instances the Review Task Force came to different conclusions, based on updated or other available information. Any given DAB illegally obtained and released by Wikileaks may or may not represent the current view of a given detainee. Regardless of how detainees are currently assessed, many of the documents shed light on their histories, particularly those of the 14 high-value detainees whose assessments were made available. When pieced together, they capture some of the drama of al-Qaedas scattering in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. They also point to tensions between certain members of the terrorist group. Among other previously unknown meetings, the documents describe a major gathering of some of al-Qaedas most senior operatives in early December 2001 in Zormat, a mountainous region of Afghanistan between Kabul and Khost. There, the operatives began to plan new attacks, a process that would consume them, according to the assessments, until they were finally captured. impotence and recommended the injections to others so more time could be spent on the jihad.

Back in Pakistan
After the Zormat conclave, Mohammed and other senior al-Qaeda figures began to return to Karachi. The documents state that Mohammed put together a training program for assassinations and kidnappings as well as pistol and computer training. It was not intended for specific operations but to occupy the bored fighters stuck in safe houses. At the time, money was flowing into the country for Mohammed, according to the documents, allowing him to acquire safe houses and fund operations. In November 2002, his nephew Baluchi took a delivery of nearly $70,000 from a courier. Mohammed, at one point, gave $500,000 to a Pakistani businessman, who is also being held at Guantanamo Bay, for safekeeping, much of it wrapped in cellophane and inside a shopping bag. Mohammed also gave Riduan Isamuddin, the Indonesian known by the nom de guerre Hambali, $100,000 to congratulate him for the Bali bombing. Gradually, Mohammed and the other operatives were picked off by Pakistanis working with the CIA and the FBI. When Ramzi Binalshibh, a key liaison between the Sept. 11 hijackers and al-Qaeda, was arrested at a safe house in Karachi on the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, there was a four-hour standoff while the Yemeni and two others held knives to their own throats and threatened to kill themselves rather than be taken. There are few geographic references in the documents for bin Laden after his flight into Pakistan. He apparently sent out letters from his hiding place through a trusted courier, who then handed them to Libbi, who had provided the secret guesthouse in Kabul immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks. After the capture of Mohammed in March 2003, Zawahiri fled from the house where he had been staying. The documents state that Zawahiri left on his own and sought out an Afghan, who delivered him to Libbi. In May 2005, while waiting for bin Ladens courier at a drop point, Libi was arrested by Pakistani special forces. Zawahiri, in response, moved again. His residence, documents state, was changed to a good place owned by a simple old man. He remains at large.

Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is flanked by top deputies Ayman al-Zawahiri, left, and Muhammad Atef in this undated photo. The WikiLeaks disclosures offer tantalizing glimpses into the whereabouts and operations of bin Laden and Zawahiri after the Sept. 11 attacks.

A hectic three months

According to the documents, four days after the Sept. 11 attacks, bin Laden visited a guesthouse in Afghanistans Kandahar province. He told the Arab fighters gathered there to defend Afghanistan against the infidel invaders and to fight in the name of Allah. It was beginning of a peripatetic three months for bin Laden and Zawahiri. Traveling by car among several locations in Afghanistan, bin Laden handed out assignments to his followers, met with some of the Taliban leadership and delegated control of al-Qaeda to the groups Shura Council, presumably because he feared being captured or killed as U.S. forces closed in. At some point, bin Laden and Zawahiri used a secret guesthouse in or relatively near Kabul. The al-Qaeda leader welcomed a stream of visitors and issued a series of orders, including instructions to continue operations against Western targets. He dispersed his fighters from training

camps and instructed women and children, including some of his wives, to flee to Pakistan. In October, bin Laden met in Kabul with two Malaysians, Yazid Zubair and Bashir Lap both of whom are now at Guantanamo Bay and lectured them on history and religion. On the day that the U.S.-led coalition began bombing Afghanistan, bin Laden met in Kandahar with Taliban official Mullah Mansour. Bin Laden and Zawahiri also met that month with Taliban leader Jalaluddin Haqqani, who continues to lead a deadly insurgency against the United States and its allies in Afghanistan. Bin Laden, accompanied by Zawahiri and a handful of close associates in his security detail, escaped to his cave complex in Tora Bora in November. Around Nov. 25, he was seen giving a speech to the leaders and fighters at the complex. He told them to remain strong in their commitment to fight, to obey the leaders, to help the Taliban, and that it was a grave mistake and taboo to leave before the fight was completed. According to the documents, bin Laden and his deputy escaped from Tora Bora in mid-December 2001. At the time, the al-Qaeda leader was apparently so

strapped for cash that he borrowed $7,000 from one of his protectors a sum he paid back within a year.

Internal tensions
In December, al-Qaedas top lieutenants gathered in Zormat. They included Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks; Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the al-

leged planner of the USS Cole attack; and Abu Faraj al-Libbi, a key facilitator for bin Laden. The place was teeming with fighters who were awaiting for al-Qaeda to return their passports so they could flee across the border to Pakistan. Mohammed later stated that while he and the others were in Zormat, they received a message from bin Laden in which he dele-

gated control of al-Qaeda to the Shura Council. And the senior operatives began to plan new attacks. Nashiri reported that while at Zormat he was approached by two Saudi nationals who wanted to strike U.S. and Israeli targets in Morocco. Nashiri said he had been considering an operation in the Strait of Gibraltar and thought that the British military base there, which he had seen in a documentary, would be a good target. Nashiris willingness to approve a plot on his own was later the source of some tension within the organization, particularly with Mohammed. In May or June 2002, Mohammed learned of the disrupted plan to attack the military base in Gibraltar and was upset that he had not been informed of it. Nashiri separately complained that he was being pushed by bin Laden to continue planning aggressive operations against U.S. interests in the Persian Gulf region without much regard for his security. It was an unusual complaint for someone who was so committed to al-Qaeda. According to documents, to avoid the distraction of women, he reportedly received injections to promote

ethics from A1 municipal politics. The ethics commission said Carrigan crossed the line when he voted on the casino issue after his longtime friend and volunteer campaign manager was hired by the developer. The Nevada Supreme Court elevated the matter when it agreed with Carrigan that restricting his ability to vote on council business violated his First Amendment right of free political speech.

I think hes as honest as the day is long. But to me its a profound ethical question.
Jake Highton, a professor at the University of Nevada at Reno. Highton taught Michael Carrigan and then taught alongside him, but he said Carrigan should have sat out the vote.

Unprecedented
John Elwood, the Washington lawyer representing the Nevada Commission on Ethics, told the justices who will consider the case Wednesday that the ruling is literally unprecedented. Backed by 14 other states, Elwood said such a finding endangers bedrock conflict-of-interest rules in virtually every state, including basic laws that have been an accepted and necessary part of representative selfgovernment since before the ratification of the First Amendment. Carrigans attorney, Joshua Rosenkranz of New York, said the worries are hyperbole. It is Nevadas conflict-of-interest law that is unprecedented, he said, if it means that a public official who has no financial or family ties to an issue cannot represent his constituents. To rule that Carrigan cannot vote because of his campaign managers interests is to ignore reality, Rosenkranz told the court: Politicians and their supporters are naturally aligned on the issues. The Nevada Commission on Ethics, Rosenkranz said, wants to take the politics out of democracy. The Lazy 8 casino project was clearly the political issue of the

Michael Carrigan, a City Council member in Sparks, Nev., was told by the city attorney that his vote on a casino project would not represent a conflict of interest. The states ethics commission disagreed.

year in Sparkss 2006 city elections. Carrigan, a Naval Academy graduate and aviator who began a second career as a journalist after retiring in 1992, represents the ward where the casino was to be built. It is the fastest-growing part of a fast-growing city Carrigan says the towns population has increased from 35,000 to 95,000 in the past two decades. The snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains still dominate the horizon, but ranches and sagebrush have given way to neat subdivisions, Pilates studios and emerald artificial-turf ball fields. Outside one strip shopping center, oversize American and Nevada flags fly from disguised cellphone towers. The proposed casino was part

of a development that had received preliminary approval years earlier, before Carrigan was first elected. He said as a councilman that he negotiated with the company for concessions the towns newcomers wanted: hotel rooms, movie theaters, restaurants, and a police or fire station. As another vote on the plan neared in the summer of 2006, the company hired Carlos Vasquez, a local politico who was Carrigans friend and reelection campaign manager. Carrigan asked the city attorney to research the states conflict-of-interest law to see whether it caused him a problem; the lawyer said Carrigan could vote as long as he disclosed the relationship. He did, and voted for the

casino, but the plan was defeated 3 to 2. (After a flurry of lawsuits, the casino project was eventually approved but for economic reasons has never been built.) Opponents of the project filed complaints against Carrigan. Nevadas law prohibits a public official from voting on an issue when a reasonable person would suspect a conflict because of financial ties or the interest of a spouse or family member. It also includes a catchall category for any other commitment or relationship that is substantially similar to a commitment or relationship like those spelled out. Caren Jenkins, the ethics commissions executive director, said the panel thought Carrigans friendship with Vasquez fit into the catchall category, although

she acknowledged that the commission had some trouble deciding exactly which relationship it resembled. Jenkins said Carrigan also saw the potential problem, or else he would not have sought a legal opinion. We cant help it that he got bad advice, she said. The ethics charges seemed to have little impact on Carrigans campaign. His support of the casino was the main issue in the race, and he was reelected with 73 percent of the vote. I told the ethics commission, you know the people ought to be the ones to really decide if somebody did something unethical, he said. Clearly, they didnt buy into it. But even some of Carrigans friend questioned his decision.

The challenge
Jake Highton, a longtime journalism professor at the University of Nevada at Reno who taught Carrigan and then taught alongside him, said Carrigan should have sat out the vote. I think hes as honest as the day is long, Highton said. But to me its a profound ethical

question. Profound enough that Carrigan was unwilling to let the mild rebuke from the ethics commission stand. He challenged the law at the Nevada Supreme Court. In a 5 to 1 ruling, the court said that voting by public officials on governmental issues was protected speech under the First Amendment and that efforts to restrict such voting have to meet the strictest standards. While disclosure of potential conflicts of interest are clearly a compelling interest of the state, the majority said, Nevadas catchall provision was too broad to be constitutional. The dissenting justice said the decision opens the door to much litigation and little good. The ethics commissions brief says the Nevada court made a fundamental mistake a public officials vote is a matter not of speech but of governing. The premise that the First Amendment entitles local legislators to cast votes on any matter, particularly one on which private interests would materially affect their independent judgment, is alien to the American constitutional tradition and to first principles of self-government, the brief states. Carrigan said the ethics commission is wrong to think a public official has a conflict when voting on issues important to his supporters. People usually volunteer for your campaign because they like you or they want you to do something they want, whether its lowering taxes or whatever, Carrigan said. Its kind of politics in the United States of America. Is it right or wrong? I dont know. But isnt that why you support the people you do? The case is Nevada Commission on Ethics v. Carrigan.

detained dozens of opposition activists and fired from rooftops in a seaside town Sunday as authorities turned to pinpoint raids after days of bloodshed brought international condemnation and defections from President Bashar al-Assads regime. The strategy, described by a rights activist, appeared aimed at rattling the oppositions leadership and showing that despite last weeks lifting of emergency laws in place nearly 50 years, the states ability to conduct arrest sweeps has not changed. The rising level of violence more than 120 people killed since Friday brought calls from the group Human Rights Watch for a United Nations inquiry. But Sundays tactics also suggest a government effort to head off more protest marches. The police raids, which began late Saturday, were concentrated in the capital, Damascus, and the central city of Homs, a hub of demonstrations against Assads authoritarian rule, said Ammar Qurabi, head of the National Organization for Human Rights in Syria. These people are not being arrested in a legal way. They are being kidnapped, Qurabi said, asserting that the plainclothes security agents did not have formal arrest warrants. Qurabi did not know the total number detained but said at least 20 people were arrested in Homs. A resident in the Damascus suburb of Douma said that at least five people were taken into custody and that authorities cut Internet and telephone services. Later, security forces moved into the coastal town of Jableh, claiming they were searching for weapons, Qurabi said. He cited witnesses who said that police and army units opened fire from rooftops even though there were no apparent threats and no protests underway. At least one person was killed and three were wounded, he said.

aboard the red star 1

Some walked to the port and slept for weeks in squalid camps less than a mile from the docks. Some went from house to house searching for safety before concluding that there was no secure place in the Libyan city of Misurata. And some, injured by indiscriminate artillery fire, cluster bombs and bullets, were sped to this ship in ambulances. All shared a common goal: to get away from Misurata. Even as rebels claimed victory and Moammar Gaddafis forces were said to be withdrawing, the shelling, rocket fire and mortar attacks continued, and the port was the only way out. As migrant workers, the injured and the displaced lined up Saturday to board the Red Star 1, everything they had left with them was packed in small bags. The ships trip marked the fourth rescue mission to Misurata arranged by the International Organization for Migration. In the city, the violence continued. Thirty-one people were killed and more than 80 injured on Saturday, according to doctors at the Hikma hospital in Misurata, where the streets have been renamed for those who have died in the nearly twomonth-long siege. On the Red Star 1, IOM coordinator Jeremy Haslam looked around, his eyes tired and face drawn. He made difficult choices about who could board the blueand-white ship for the 18-hour trip to Benghazi, the de facto capital of the Libyan opposition, and who would be turned away. The boat could take no more than 1,000 passengers. At times, more than 10,000 foreign workers had been sleeping at the port. Now about 2,400 are in the camp, according to the Libyan Red Crescent. But more come every day. Its heartbreaking every time I say no, Haslam said.

I have no house now. No place to live. If my son is alive, I will come back to Misurata. If hes not, I can never come back.

AMR ABDALLAH DALSH/REUTERS

A young evacuee comforts another after arriving at the port of Benghazi on a ship from Misurata, which has been under siege for about two months, arranged by the International Organization for Migration.

As the ship pulled away, members of a Libyan family clutching brown suitcases and pink blankets watched their hope for an escape leave the docks. They would try again tomorrow. Maybe they would pile onto a small fishing boat, maybe a ship funded by the government of Qatar. Omar Hussein walked to the port three weeks ago in an ill-fitting green suit. The Niger national, who worked in a Misurata shop that sold curtains and kitchenware, had been stranded amid the fighting. As bombs exploded around him and gunfire filled the air, he walked for three hours, toward what he hoped would be his escape route. On Saturday night, sitting on a wooden chair in the cruise ships cafeteria, he dozed off and on. The mostly Albanian and Romanian crew had turned in for the night, after serving a late lunch

of pasta and green bean salad. Hundreds of other men from Niger slept on the green carpeting of the top deck and the wooden dance floor of a disco. Their bodies blanketed the floor. Ive been waiting for so long, Hussein said, holding his goldrimmed glasses in his hand. I was so scared. There were so many bombs. This was the first part of his journey home. All his worldly possessions were in the cargo hold below, along with the injured, sprawled out on mattresses. Many had shrapnel wounds. Intravenous drips were attached to some of the wounded, as family members sat with them. My family doesnt know if Im dead or alive, Hussein said. Signs posted in the bathroom urged passengers to conserve water during the trip and wished

those leaving Misurata a pleasant and safe trip home. But the 136 Libyans who were making the journey were fleeing the only place they have ever known. Umm Mohammed left everything behind when she fled her western Misurata neighborhood. She said Gaddafis forces broke down the door of her home and took away her son and four other men. She fled with her six other children and her grandchildren. She said her neighborhood is controlled by government forces and has been severely damaged. There is no water, food or toiletries, she said. Rebel leaders estimate that more than half of the citys 500,000 people have been displaced because of the violence. I cant believe what Gaddafi did to his people, she said early Sunday as most people slept.

She lived in mosques, schools and homes of relatives for 20 days and then made the trip to the port Saturday. She was too afraid to give her full name, worried her son would be killed. I have no house now. No place to live, she said. If my son is alive, I will come back to Misurata. If hes not, I can never come back. She looked away, her face framed by a delicate flowered scarf.

Gaddafi shells Misurata again; senators urge more aid for rebels
BY S IMON D ENYER AND L EILA F ADEL

tripoli, libya Troops loyal to

Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi sent a particularly heavy barrage of shells and rockets into Misurata from its southern outskirts on Sunday, as the last of those forces were routed from the city itself, residents and rebels said. The indiscriminate shelling of the strategic port city over the weekend, some of the heaviest since the siege began in late February, killed at least 58 people, rebels said, belying the Libyan governments claim that its army was standing aside to let local tribes settle the issue of Misurata. In Washington, three members of the Senate Armed Services Committee called for immediate military aid for the rebels, stepped up NATO airstrikes and more direct U.S. involvement, with Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) saying the alliance should go after Gaddafi himself. NATO almost seemed to be listening, sending two guided bombs into the heart of Gaddafis sprawling Bab al-Aziziyah complex just after midnight on Monday. Reporters taken to the scene saw one large building destroyed by a huge explosion which officials said contained an office and library used by Gaddafi. An adjacent building where

Gaddafi met a delegation of five African presidents looking to broker a peace deal earlier this month was also badly damaged. Although the attack may not have been an assassination attempt, it was certainly symbolic. Bab alAziziyah is part residence for Gaddafi, part government offices and part military base, and also the scene of nightly celebrations by hundreds of civilians offering themselves as human shields to protect Gaddafi against NATO. No one was hurt in this attack, officials said. In Tripoli, Libyas Deputy Foreign Minister Khalid Kaim said early Sunday that tribal leaders from the area were angry with the rebels because they could not get access to Misurata port. They wanted to negotiate, he said, but if talks failed, tribal leaders were ready to send in 60,000 armed men to storm the city, in what he feared could be very, very bloody warfare. But Libya is not like Afghanistan or even Iraq, and tribal leaders do not command huge militias they can mobilize in the blink of an eye. Gaddafi, experts said, appeared to be using the tribal issue as a smoke screen to mask his failure to retake Misurata. He was also sending a threat, experts said, both to the citizens of Misurata and anyone abroad

who might be thinking of sending in ground troops to protect the city, that he still had the ability to sow chaos by deploying thousands of ground troops, perhaps a mixture of lightly armed civilians and regular soldiers who have shed their uniforms. Its an attempt to spin the rebellion as a tribal issue, but its probably not going to work, because what weve seen is a broadbased rebellion against Gaddafi, said Shashank Joshi, an associate fellow of Britains Royal United Services Institute. The other aspect is that its a threat. British Foreign Secretary William Hague told the BBC he doubted Gaddafis forces were really going to withdraw. This may be cover for using more insurgent type warfare without any uniforms and without tanks. Sens. Graham, Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and John McCain (R-Ariz) said they interpreted the U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing military action to protect Libyan civilians and imposing a no-fly zone as allowing attacks on Libyas top leadership in Tripoli. I cant think of anything that would protect the civilian population of Libya more than the removal of Moammar Gaddafi, Lieberman told CNNs State of the Union. By early Monday morning, residential neighborhoods in Misurata were being shelled heavily. The Hikma Hospital was brimming with wounded civilians, doctors reached by Skype said. By 3 a.m., the casualty toll for the day had risen to 27 people killed and at least 112 wounded, said Aiman Abushahma, a doctor at the hospital. A family was brought in with an 8-year-old child. They were trying to escape the shelling and the car was hit, doctors said. Their bodies were unrecognizable.Shelling homes is what cowards do, Abushahma said via Skype.This is revenge. [Gaddafi] thinks he is a god and hes punishing us because we do not love him, added Anas Rofieda, a pharmacist at the hospital.

Yemen opposition divided over deal

Immunity proposal for president appears doomed

A wounded man is treated at Hikma hospital. Rebels took control of the facility in Misurata, once occupied by government troops.

sanaa, yemen Deep divisions within Yemens opposition appeared to doom an Arab proposal for the president to step down within a month, raising the prospect of more bloodshed and instability in a nation already beset by deep poverty and conflict. President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has ruled for 32 years, agreed Saturday to the Gulf Cooperation Councils proposal for him to transfer power to his vice president within 30 days of a deal being signed in exchange for immunity from prosecution for him and his sons. A coalition of seven opposition parties generally accepted the deal. But thousands stood their ground Sunday in a permanent protest camp in part of the capital, Sanaa, and their leaders said they suspect Saleh is just maneuvering to buy time and

cling to power. The protesters say the established opposition political parties taking part in the talks with Arab mediators do not represent them and cannot turn off the rage on the streets. President Saleh has in the past agreed to initiatives and he went back on his word, said Khaled al-Ansi, one of the youth leaders organizing the street pro-

tests. We have no reason to believe that he would not do this again. So far, Saleh has outrun more than two months of protests pressing for him to immediately step down, due in large part to the unwavering loyalty of the countrys best military units,

which are controlled by one of his sons and other close relatives. A bloc of Persian Gulf nations, including powerful Saudi Arabia, has been trying to broker an end to the crisis, fearing the potential blowback of more instability in the fragile country on the southern edge of Arabia. But the protesters in the streets, who are from an array of backgrounds and are not represented in the talks, reject the proposal and want nothing short of Salehs immediate resignation and his trial on charges of corruption and for the killings of unarmed protesters. Mohammed al-Sabri, spokesman for the opposition political parties, said the coalition does not want to discuss a unity government until after Saleh is out of power. The protesters, meanwhile, are calling for more demonstrations in the next few days to intensify the pressure. In response, the government signaled it would not agree to any adjustments in the gulf proposal, with a statement on the official SABA news agency saying the initiative must be implemented in its entirety.

Europe shifts its view of benefits

europe from A1 more worker-friendly. But many others, resigned to the new reality of globalization, have come to view the shift as the end of a golden era, perhaps never to be revived. The social welfare system no longer plays its role, said Claude Bernard, a union organizer at Renaults struggling car factory in Sandouville, a suburb of Le Havre in western France. The very system of redistributing wealth through taxes and welfare programs has been called into question. In a measure of the shift, Manuel Valls, a presidential hopeful in Frances Socialist Party, challenged party doctrine recently by declaring that it should not make an issue of preserving the 35hour workweek if French factories have to compete with Chinese factories, where the workweek starts at 60 hours and goes up from there. In Denmark, Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen rattled many in that icon of Scandinavian cradle-to-grave welfare by suggesting Danes should work longer before retiring, to peel back the deficit by $2.8 billion. Britains Conservative-led government decided in the fall to attack deficits by cutting more than $130 billion over the next five years, hitting welfare benefits hard and setting off protests by raising university fees. But deficit pressures have forced leftist governments to seek savings as well. Some of the most painful cuts pensions reduced, wages stalled and retirements pushed back have been imposed by two Socialist prime ministers, George Papandreou in Greece and Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero in Spain. The world has changed, said Michel Godet, a member of the French governments Council of Economic Analysis who teaches at the National Conservatory of Arts and Industries. Despite the crisis cutbacks, Western Europeans have retained a vast and often lavish social safety net. Although fees have risen in recent years, for example, most European universities remain faithful to the principle that higher education should be free or at least cheap by U.S. standards. And as President Obama struggled last year to extend health insurance to more Americans, Europeans blessed with universal coverage shook their heads in wonder and even disdain. We are aware that France is one of the richest countries on the planet, said Fabrice Le Serre, a colleague of Bernards in the General Labor Confederation at Sandouville. From the workers point of view, he explained, the problem is that welfare programs that have been expanding for 60 years have started to recede. We should continue trying to improve things, not move backward, he protested.

A power plant in Le Havre. France has considered a generous social protection system part of the landscape since Charles de Gaulle embraced it after World War II.

New kinds of trade-offs

Florian Andre, a 50-year-old metal specialist at the Sandouville plant, has always viewed French social protections as a natural extension of the countrys human values. Slight and graying now with middle age, Andre was raised as a ward of the state. With help from generous government programs, he went on to a 30year career as a skilled worker, blessed with a wife and three daughters and enough in the bank to buy a home in Le Havre once owned by a sea captain. With our system, we just dont

allow a widow or a child to end up in the streets, he said. Our social system should take responsibility for all stages of life, from the youngest age to the time of death. Of course, its a trade-off. Everything has a cost. But recently, the government has begun to trade off in a new direction, whittling away at services to save on costs. President Nicolas Sarkozy, a market-oriented conservative, has started to unknit the long-standing web of protections, Andre explained, using a term in vogue at his union, the General Labor Confederation. Most markedly, he said, the government has shifted an increasing percentage of medical costs out of the national health insurance program and into the private complementary insurance that has become part of a new reality at $68 a month per person in Andres case. Deductions from his monthly check still amount to 23 percent of the total, leaving him with about $2,400 in take-home pay. But the curtailment of reimbursements has added a list of new health-care costs that have to come out of the family budget. When Andres mother-in-law had an operation recently, for instance, the doctor charged $500 more than the national health insurance would reimburse. Andres private insurance shouldered only $40 of the difference, leaving the family to come up with $460. Similarly, when his wife was operated on for a herniated disc, the doctor charged $200 more than the fee allowed by Frances national health insurance. Of that, his complementary insurance ponied up $40, leaving Andre to pay the remaining $160. Their main concern has become to save money, he complained. And they have erected new barriers to getting treatment. Sarkozys program of not replacing one of every two retiring civil servants has meant that the health insurance administration is overtaxed, leading to long delays in handling reimbursement requests, Andre added. Moreover, cost-cutting programs have led to the closure of neighborhood offices and the creation of large, impersonal regional centers.

Continental Shift

This series will examine how deep cuts in government spending are transforming Europe as it grapples with deep debt.

Workers leave after a shift at Renaults struggling car factory in Sandouville, a suburb of Le Havre in western France. The social welfare system no longer plays its role, said Claude Bernard, a union organizer at the plant, where workers have made concessions in the face of the global economic crisis.

The approach is a far cry from the tradition Andre thought was a national treasure never to be relinquished. When he was young, he recalled, not only were medical costs paid without question, but medicine prescribed by the doctor was also eligible for total reimbursement. Now, he smiled, you have to be almost dead to get a 100 percent reimbursement.

gles to return to growth, conservatives in and outside the government have said the protections are threatening the health of public finances and holding back the economy. Godet, the economist, calculat-

A ball and chain

France, emblematic of Europes social advances, has considered a generous protection system part of the landscape ever since Charles de Gaulle embraced a program put forward by Communist resistance groups immediately after World War II. With subsequent additions under the Socialist Partys two turns in power since then, including the 35hour workweek and more vacation time, the welfare state has since been taken to a level that made this country the envy of many. When the global crisis hit, the French social protection net which helps push government expenditures to 54 percent of the gross domestic product cushioned people from the worst effects. But now, as Europe strug-

ed that with a legally mandated five weeks of vacation, national holidays and compensatory time off for working more than 35 hours, French workers and functionaries have accumulated 55 days a year in paid time off. Combined cleverly with bridges over workdays that fall between off days, he found, that in effect gives them a week off every month.

As a result, he said, French workers on average show up at the office or factory 620 hours a year, compared with about 700 in Germany and 870 in the United States. Also as a result, an hour of work costs $43 on average in France, compared with $36 in neighboring countries that also use the European currency, the euro, giving those other countries, particularly Germany, the edge in globalized competition. The problem we have is that we cant get people to understand that these privileges are, in fact, a ball and chain, Godet said. Sarkozys government, in seeking to convince the population that change must come, has emphasized the ballooning costs of health care and retirement pensions as the main culprits in a 2010 deficit amounting to more than $200 billion, or 7.7 percent of the gross domestic product. Health insurance alone accounted for $30 billion of the shortfall. But Sarkozy also revamped the pension system last fall, tightening early-retirement rules and raising the benchmark retirement age from 60 to 62 despite howls from unions and left-wing political leaders. In explaining the shift, he said a rising number of long-lived retirees, combined

with a smaller base of active workers to pay into the system, had forced the government to rely increasingly on borrowing to keep the system afloat. As the global crisis exacerbated deficits, leading to collapses in Greece and Ireland, he said, France found it could no longer run up more debt to keep the pensions coming. People began to understand that the whole system could come crumbling down, Godet said. Sarkozys opposition on the left accused him of betraying the national consensus begun by De Gaulle in 1944, asserting that the debt burden should be lightened instead by forcing the rich to pay more taxes. Dont talk to me about the public deficit, shouted a woman at an anti-government rally in Concarneau, on the Brittany coast, organized by the Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions and Citizen Action (ATTAC). No, there is no public deficit. There is just the possibility for the powers of big money to redistribute, to give money back, and so on. The Socialist Party and other leftist groups have interpreted such outrage as a chance for change in the next presidential election, in 2012. Something is happening, predicted Youenn Le Flao, who heads Concarneaus ATTAC branch. But it remains to be seen whether the indignation will translate into votes against Sarkozy when he seeks reelection to a second term. One indication came when Frances highly politicized labor unions staged a series of general strikes and massive demonstrations in the fall to try to stop the change in retirement age. From the beginning, Sarkozys majority in parliament meant passage was assured, infusing the protests with a dispirited tone. Soon after the final vote in October, they sputtered out entirely, and the presidents conservative backers suggested the 35hour workweek should be the next target.

WASHINGTON BUSINESS
Radio One aims to boost stock value
BUYBACK IS PLANNED
Media company trying to continue resurgence
BY

THIS WEEK, APRIL 27-29

Its a big week for economic news, with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke holding his first news conference and the first reading on first-quarter economic growth on the way.

D ANIELLE D OUGLAS

Capital Business Staff Writer

Urban media company Radio One of Lanham has authorized a stock repurchase program, joining a host of companies trying to win over shareholders through buybacks and dividend increases. Radio One, owner of 53 radio stations catering to African Americans across the country, is bouncing back from a rough patch of dwindling ad sales, underperforming assets and high debt levels. Yet shares of the company, hovering around $2 for the past

three months, remain fairly stagnant. Now Radio One, which declined to comment for this article, is preparing to repurchase up to $15 million of its common stock, representing about 12.1 percent of the companys outstanding shares. The company said it will exercise the option, set to expire April 13, 2013, based on market conditions. Radio One has forecast firstquarter revenue of $65.4 million, an 11 percent increase from the same period a year ago. The company, however, expects to record a net loss of 37 cents to 39 cents a share for the first three months of the year. Radio One has some cash flow and they think that the best allocation for it is to bolster the stock prices, said Mark R. Fratrik, an analyst at BIA/Kelsey. They believe the value of their stocks are worth more than in the marketplace. Radio industry stocks, he not-

ed, rebounded 44 percent in 2010, coming off a precipitous decline the prior three years. Though Radio One shared in some of that recovery, the companys shares lagged behind the curve. It has been a long road to recovery for Radio One. Sluggish advertising sales, along with competition from satellite and Internet radio, placed a strain on profits for much of the past decade. The company borrowed heavily as it expanded online and purchased broadcasting licenses, racking up $765 million in debt by the market crash in 2008. As the downturn intensified its troubles, Radio One reduced its operating expenses, turning a profit and ending a six-quarter losing streak in the second quarter of 2009. Revenue continued to climb, especially last year with the bump in advertising during the mid-term elections. Meanwhile, Radio One managed to restructure its most senior debt.

The company gradually increased its stake in cable network TV One, a growth segment, over the past year from 35 percent to 45 percent. Radio One said it expects to raise its stake in TV One to 50.8 percent, once the network redeems DirecTVs ownership interests around April 30. Radio One is in much better shape in terms of their capital structure, said Justin Nelson, an analyst at SNL Financial. Before they were coming up against a lot of their debt covenants that were restrictive, but they were able to restructure those. A number of companies have been initiating or expanding stock repurchase plans. At the start of the year, retailer Coach announced plans for a $1.5 billion stock buyback, while Kohls more than tripled its stock repurchase program to $3.5 billion in February. Marriott also has been buying back its shares.

Wednesday
After a two-day meeting of the Federal Reserves policy committee, a new era in Fed communication is set to begin. The committee is scheduled to announce its decision at 12:30 p.m., instead of the usual 2:15. And Fed officials forecasts for economic growth, unemployment and inflation in the coming years are slated to be released that afternoon. Most notably, Bernanke plans to answer questions from reporters at 2:15, in the first regularly scheduled news conference in Fed history. The gatherings are set to occur four times a year. The Fed will probably confirm that the $600 billion in bond purchases announced last November will be allowed to end in June as originally planned. It will most assuredly leave its target interest rate unchanged near zero and pledge to keep it there for an extended period. The Fed will probably both acknowledge recent developments that hurt growth at the beginning of 2011, while affirming that it expects the economy to keep growing. And Fed projections will probably be downgraded a bit relative to where they were in January.

sults for growth at the start of the year. Forecasters expect the pace of growth was only 1.8 percent, held down by rising fuel prices and disruptions from winter weather, among other factors. While most economists are expecting something of a rebound in the second quarter, it would still be a disappointing result for a year that many thought would be one of solid, consistent recovery.

Friday
New data is slated to be released on personal income. Analysts are forecasting the number to have risen 0.3 percent in March, while spending is forecast to have risen 0.5 percent, numbers that would suggest that some weakness in consumer spending earlier in the first quarter was followed by improvement at the end.

Worxs $8 million investment in the powered rail could bring it a return of many times that amount, according to the company. We were tooling along making other peoples stuff and making other people a lot of money, Joe said. But we decided to do it ourselves. Their father, machinist Jose Maria Travez, left Quito, Ecuador, and arrived in the United States in 1966 after being recruited for a job. Machinists, Joe said, were in short supply in the United States in the 1960s. The family settled in the D.C. area. After Italo, 44, graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park in 1991, he was recruited by Honda and General Motors. Joe had graduated from Catholic University with a degree in architecture. He was working at Marriott International, designing and building hotels. My brother calls me and says, I dont want to work for Honda. I want to start a company, Joe said. Joe mortgaged his house. Their father donated a couple of key manufacturing tools: a lathe and a milling machine. Italo pitched in $500 and came up with the Prototype Productions name. They rented a small space in Rockville and started driving up and down Montgomery Countys Interstate 270 corridor, knocking on doors and asking if anyone needed a manufacturer. PPI made $20,000 its first year. But that grew. The big breakthrough came in the mid-1990s, when HT Medical gave them a contract to create surgical simulation machines, so doctors could practice colonoscopies, endoscopies and vein harvesting without the blood and guts. The company has 50 robotic manufacturing machines, half in Ashburn and half in Rockville. They bulked up in 2008, buying $5.8 million in machinery for defense contracts. They were celebrating several multi-year contracts worth $50 million a year when the financial crisis cut everything in half. PPI laid off 40 workers and lost money in 2009. During our tour, Joe took me to a room and pointed at a box the size of two refrigerators. He called it a 3D laser printer. Its too technical to get into, but he said the printer is the next advance in manufacturing. Many say America is losing its industrial base, which is true to some extent, he said. But in the future, we wont worry about this because we will no longer manufacture things. We will print things. Laser centering is the next trilliondollar industry.

ucked in a corner of an industrial park in Loudoun County, a few football fields from Redskins Park, is an innovation hothouse called Prototype Productions Inc. that would make any geek proud. The company invents and manufactures everything from parts for the International Space Station to snowboards to prefabricated mobile meeting pods. Theyve built or invented 176 gadgets over the years, spanning the defense, aerospace and medical industries. Theyve made stuff for the Patriot missile, grenade launchers and Chinook helicopters. PPI even advised on a pooperscooper for dog lovers. Until recently, the company was a boutique manufacturer. Other companies and universities and the government would come to PPI with plans and schematics and say, Can you build this? For that, PPI earns a fee. Sometimes, it takes equity in return for its manufacturing. It owns pieces of eight other companies. PPI is one of the most offbeat companies I have written about. Co-owners Joe and Italo Travez, brothers born in Ecuador, have built PPI over two decades into a think tank for engineers. Their business plan for the past two decades has been have a really cool place with really cool people. Its cool, all right. I felt like I was walking into a Brookstone store when I took a tour of PPIs 30,000-foot Ashburn headquarters recently. The company has another 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Rockville. One wing had tables strewn with a super-engineered Patriot missile rocket nozzle housings, thumbprint readers and a model for something called a Zipnut for the International Space Station. A white board had phrases such as Hubble telescope and driver vision enhancement scrawled on it. A nearby wall had photos of the solar-powered car one of PPIs engineers drove across sunny Australia. There was a deconstructed rifle in its various parts. I have a theory that those anonymous companies that fly under the radar screen in suburban industrial parks are actually cash machines. So when I was invited to see what goes on behind the neatly trimmed grass and smokedglass office windows, I said yes. PPI grossed $20 million in 2008, but that number dropped to about $11 million for 2009 and 2010, due largely to the recession and a slowdown on government contracts. The company expects revenue to rise to $15 million this year, and it is hoping to hit $30 million to $50 million by mid-decade. PPI has only $1.5 million in debt because it rolls most of its profits back into the company. Its manufacturing equipment costs from $50,000 to $800,000, depending on the sophistication

The hard thing about starting a company is exiting

Ive always liked doing a large mix of things. Im a multitasker. So it was only a matter of time before I found out that the siloed environment I started out in as a developer wasnt for me. I moved into technical consulting for a company where I still got to use my technical side but also interact with the customers, and I found I really liked the small, quick-moving environments. One engagement we worked on there was a small company called the Custom Foot. This was before the Web was big. You went in, got your foot measured, saw samples in the store but ordered on the computer your custom-made shoe. There was no middleman, which is really where the challenges are with retail. That work led me to start thinking whether I wanted to try something like this on my own. Former colleagues of mine were starting a company, and I decided to work with them. It was a simple idea. I think the best ideas are simple. Not to mention, I felt like I was a little young and inexperienced to be starting my own company. We were five guys in a garage. We grew the company and took it public. At its peak it was 550 employees and close to a $100 million run rate on the revenue side. At Sabas height, I was running an international, 150person engineering and development organization within the company. After we went public, I had my first kid, and we made a decision as a family that Silicon Valley was not where we were going to live long-term and raise kids. So I moved to the D.C. area and was commuting back and forth for three years. That got tough. The hard thing about starting a company is exiting, because youre so emotionally invested, but I eventually stepped away. I did a loop of all the venture capitalists here in the D.C. area to see what small companies were out there. I wanted to go back to something much earlierstage, because thats where I do best and what I enjoy most. I joined Jobfox and felt like the problem they were solving was easy to understand. What eHarmony did for dating, Jobfox was doing for jobs. I liked the fact that it was a big marketplace. There are a lot of companies that are

of the machine. Joe Travez, 49, said PPI earns between 10 percent and 20 percent profits on its gross. It has lost money in only two years, 2001 and 2009. PPI has 90 employees, which is down from well over 100 in its prerecession days. Its the variety of its work that makes the place so interesting. When the military wanted kits allowing military vehicles to see in the dark and in sandstorms without lights, PPI built it. We have become a boutique go-to innovations place for

companies to come here and get their products developed, said Joe, who calls himself Joda to his inventor brother Italos Yoda. We can go from napkin sketch to functional robotic device, all in-house. The third way PPI makes money is through licensing. The company has formed a new arm, called T. Worx Ventures, whose goal is to own and license its inventions. That will be far more profitable than being hired to make widgets for someone else. T. Worx, run by former Marine Carl Wallace, is in

$10 million ideas. Im more interested in $100 million, $1 billion ideas. They were just getting started. We took the company to millions of job-seeker visits per month. We grew a huge direct sales force from nothing to 60 at the height. Then 2008 came around and the job market just went downhill. We had to reinvent ourselves and develop a model that relied on two primary products: a resume rewriting service and a monthly subscription product to help job seekers. In a two-year period, we completely replaced the revenue we lost, doing thousands of resumes per month. Then I saw that Webs was on the cusp of a business that could just explode and is very well positioned to take advantage of that opportunity. The company got to where it was mostly through organic growth, and I am excited to help take it to the next level. Now its just making sure people are aware of us.

THE HIGH COURT
Robert Barnes

Weighing constitutional protections in this high-tech era

ts a wide, wired world out there, more so every day, and the Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to let law enforcement take advantage of it to build cases against the bad guys. The administration wants the justices to overturn a decision last year by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that said police must get a warrant before launching a long-term surveillance of a suspect using a Global Positioning System device attached to the mans car. In overturning the conviction of a D.C. nightclub owner accused of being a prominent cocaine kingpin, the appeals court decision was not faithful to a Supreme Court ruling that people have no expectation of privacy when traveling along public streets,acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal said. Prompt resolution of this conflict is critically important to law enforcement efforts throughout the United States, Katyal told the court in a petition asking them to take the case of United States v. Antoine Jones. Appeals courts in two other parts of the country have sided with law enforcement on the issue, saying police do not need a warrant for the kind of prolonged surveillance the GPS devices can provide. The decisions come as judges increasingly are asked to unravel the connection between modern technology and constitutional protections of privacy and against unreasonable searches. GPS devices in cellphones and cars contain a wealth of information about a persons movements, and a smartphone can provide law enforcement with vast amounts of information. This case is really going to confront the court with the problem of adopting the Fourth Amendment to a new information age, said Daniel Prywes, a Washington lawyer who wrote a brief in the Jones case for the American Civil Liberties Union and the

Electronic Frontier Foundation. I think its the seminal privacy case of the 21st century. Jones had been sentenced to life in prison and ordered to surrender $1 million in drug profits before the appeals court overturned his conviction last year. For a month, police had recorded his trips around the Washington area from his home to Levels, his nightclub in Northeast Washington and repeated trips to a stash house in Prince Georges County, where police eventually found mounds of cocaine and $850,000 in cash. The government contends

This case is really going to confront the court with the problem of adopting the Fourth Amendment to a new information age.
Daniel Prywes, lawyer

that the court has already answered the question of whether the surveillance of Jones was proper. In 1983, the court ruled in United States v. Knotts that police were within their power to track a beeper device they had placed in a can of chemicals used for drug production. A person traveling in an automobile on public thoroughfares has no reasonable expectation of privacy in his movements from one place to another, it said. But an ideologically diverse panel of the D.C. Circuit was unanimous in saying that the justices in Knotts specifically did

not decide the issue of whether a more intrusive government action, such as twenty-four hour surveillance, would require a warrant. Circuit Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg wrote that the 28-day tracking of Joness every movement in his Jeep was too much. Although the travel evidence submitted to the jury was all on public streets, he said, the whole of a persons movements over the course of a month is not actually exposed to the public because the likelihood a stranger would observe all those movements . . . is essentially nil. While no single trip can prove a pattern of a persons life, Ginsburg wrote: A person who knows all of anothers travels can deduce whether he is a weekly churchgoer, a heavy drinker, a regular at the gym, an unfaithful husband, an outpatient receiving medical treatment, an associate of particular individuals or political groups. When the full circuit declined to review the panels decision, Chief Judge David Sentelle provided the opposing arguments for three other dissenters. A persons reasonable expectation of privacy while traveling on public highways is zero, he said, and the sum of an infinite number of zero-value parts is also zero. He said the panels decision calls into question any other police surveillance of sufficient length to establish a pattern. Katyal told the court that GPS tracking is a vital tool for government in establishing the kind of probable cause necessary to get a warrant. Stifling its use at the early stages of an investigation, he said, will seriously impede the governments ability to investigate leads and tips on drug trafficking, terrorism and other crimes. It could be months before the Supreme Court decides whether to take the case.

The spring is a crucial time to study reproduction, behavior and abundance of species such as pelicans.

Scientists frustrated at pace of gulf study on effects of spill

Slow release of funds hampering research on species, they say
BY

C AIN B URDEAU

new orleans Scientists say it

is taking far too long to dole out millions of dollars in BP funds for badly needed Gulf of Mexico oil spill research, and it could be too late to assess the crudes impact on pelicans, shrimp and other species by the time studies begin. The spring nesting and spawning season is a crucial time to get out and sample the reproduction rates, behavior and abundance of species, all factors that could be altered by last years massive spill. Yet no money has been made available for this year, and it could take months to determine which projects will be funded. Its like a murder scene, said Dana Wetzel, an ecotoxicologist at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida. You have to pick up the evidence now. BP had pledged $500 million $50 million a year over 10 years to help scientists study the spills impact and forge a better understanding of how to deal with future spills. The first $50 million was handed out in May 2010 to four gulf-based research institutes and to the National Institutes of Health. Rita Colwell, a University of Maryland scientist who chairs the board overseeing the money, said the protocol for distributing the remaining $450 million would be announced Monday at the National Press Club in Washington. After that, scientists will be allowed to submit proposals, but it could take months for research to be chosen. Michael Carron, a Mississippi marine scientist selected to head the BP-funded post-spill research project, the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative, doubted money would be available before June.

House measure is seeking to expand collection of DNA

Goal is to get more states to take samples from suspects upon arrest
BY

R OB H OTAKAINEN

In 2001, King County Sheriff Dave Reichert relied on a DNA match to solve the case of Washington states Green River Killer, who murdered 49 women and ranks as the nations most prolific serial killer. Now a Republican congressman, Reichert wants Congress to expand the use of genetic testing by getting more states to collect DNA samples, just as they do fingerprints, when suspected felons are arrested for state crimes. Such testing already is allowed for anyone arrested by a U.S. law enforcement agency for a federal crime. Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union, say that its an invasion of privacy and that DNA testing should be reserved for convicted felons. They note that hundreds of thousands of people are arrested each year but that many of them are never charged or convicted. To promote his effort on Capitol Hill, Reichert has teamed up with Jayann and David Sepich of Carlsbad, N.M., whose 22-yearold daughter, Katie, a graduate student at New Mexico State University, was raped, strangled, set on fire and abandoned at a dump site in August 2003. Three months after Katie was killed, Gabriel Avilla was arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary. No DNA sample was collected from him. He wasnt linked to the Sepich slaying until he was apprehended, and later convicted, for another burglary in December 2006.

Reichert and the Sepich family say the case could have been solved three years earlier if a DNA sample had been taken at the time of the first arrest. A patchwork of laws is now in place for DNA testing. Under a law Congress passed in 2006, DNA samples have been taken from those arrested on suspicion of federal crimes since January 2009, with the information going to a national database. Federal crimes can include anything involving interstate travel, including heists and the transport of illegal contraband, and such things as tax evasion, immigration offenses and counterfeiting of money. In addition, 24 states have passed laws covering state crimes. Each state has its own criminal code, so something thats a felony in one state may not be in another. Reichert, who sponsored his bill with Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), wants to spend roughly $30 million over five years to provide incentives for the remaining 26 states to pass similar laws. The bill is called the Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection Act, or Katies Law for short. Similar legislation has been introduced in the Senate. If more states participated, more crimes would be solved earlier, Reichert said, adding: Not only that, there would be some innocent people in prison released. If Congress provided incentive money, Reichert said, he suspects that most states would participate, given their money troubles. But none would be forced to do so. There are certain members of Congress in both houses that believe that states should maintain control, especially over local crime issues, unless they cross

over into federal jurisdiction, and most of the time the crimes that were talking about dont, he said. Reichert acknowledged one big sticking point: With Congress in a budget-cutting mode, the big hurdle that we have to overcome is how were going to pay for this. On average, Jayann Sepich said, it costs $30 to collect a DNA sample. But in the long run, she said, states would save money. In the case of her daughters murder, Sepich said, an extra $200,000 was spent investigating the case over the three years before the killer was found. So $200,000 could have been saved with a cheek swab, she said. Some of the state statutes already have been tested in the courts, including in California, where voters approved a law in 2004. Lily Haskell became the lead plaintiff in an unsuccessful lawsuit, filed by the ACLU, challenging the constitutionality of the California law. She was arrested in San Francisco in 2009 at a rally opposing the Iraq war, on suspicion of trying to help another protester who was being held by police, a felony in California. She was forced to provide a DNA sample, even though she was never charged. She complained that her genetic information is now stored indefinitely in a government database. With other challenges under way, Sepich predicted that the issue wont be resolved until it hits the Supreme Court. She said she thought it would be upheld. I wouldnt be spending my life working so hard if it was just going to be struck down, she said.

He acknowledged that not being able to study the spring spawning in full bloom would be a problem. This will be the first good glimpse of what happened to larvae, the first class of species born during and after the spill, he said. With the BP funds so slow to get out the door, scientists are trying to get funding from federal grants and other sources. And its possible the BP money will be handed out on an expedited basis, Carron said. From the outset, the pledge has been fraught with problems and questions over how the $500 million would be distributed and how much scientists would be influenced by BP. The result has been paralysis. It took until last month for BP and the Gulf of Mexico Alliance, a nonprofit headed by Gulf Coast governors, to finally agree on how to spend the rest of the $450 million. Under the agreement, BP pledged that research would be independent of the oil giant and the gulf alliance and that scientists could publish their results without BP approval. Still, BP will exert some control. For example, the funds will be overseen by a BP-hired contractor, and the oil giant has appointed half of the members on

a 20-member board that will decide what research to do. BP declined to comment and referred questions to the gulf research initiative. Larry McKinney, director of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi, said the science board overseeing the money was solid and unlikely to be heavily influenced by BP. Scientists who take the BP money will have to credit the oil giant for funding the research, and BP may be able to obtain patents for inventions derived from the research. McKinney said those requirements were standard. The delay in BP funds has rankled scientists. There was a dearth of scientific investigation to understand the effects of the massive 1979 Ixtoc spill in the gulf s Bay of Campeche, scientists said, and there are fears the same could happen in the wake of BPs spill. The science was abysmal to start with, George Crozier, head of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama, said about the effect of oil spills in the gulf. But, golly, the questions have become bigger and more important.

Safety nets at risk
The reality of budget cuts in social services was evident in the April 20 Metro article A force of support for those on the brink, which described a man threatening to jump off a railroad bridge in Fort Belvoir. I fear this is just the beginning. As executive director of Woodley House, a nonprofit transitional housing and treatment program that has served the Districts mentally ill for more than 50 years, I see real-life consequences to decreased community services and shrinking mental health funding. Recently a resident needed to find other housing after completing our six-month program. She was doing well and hoped to move into another group home, but none was available. Transported to a shelter, she found that, too, was full. After spending a few nights in a hotel, she had no more money and no place to turn. Last weekend she showed up at Woodley House hungry, her belongings stolen, without her medication and no place to sleep. Her safety net had failed. Programs that work are being slashed, and shelters are full. Thank God she didnt look for a bridge to jump from. She came back to us. Gary Frye, Washington

The big sellout

Treasury is right to contemplate a GM-AIG exit.

HE U.S. GOVERNMENT still owns 92 percent of AIG, the troubled insurance giant whose dangerous derivatives business blew up in 2008, necessitating a federal bailout. The government also retains about one-quarter of the common stock of General Motors, which it took as part of the $50 billion bankruptcy-cum-bailout that salvaged that automaker in 2009. Alas, both firms share prices have been tumbling lately, which means that taxpayers stand to recover billions of dollars less than they would make otherwise. Does that mean that the Obama administration should shelve its plans to divest these stakes possibly as early as May? Probably not. No one can be happy that a 25 percent drop in AIGs stock price since the start of 2011 has reduced the Treasury Departments paper profit on the bailout from $24 billion to about $6 billion. Nor is it cause for celebration that reborn GMs stock has fallen from about $33

at the time of its initial public offering in November to about $30 today which translates into an $11 billion net loss for the government on the GM bailout if Uncle Sam were to sell out today. But federal profit maximization was not the main purpose of the AIG or GM rescues nor of the broader bank rescue under the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). Rather, the Bush and Obama administrations undertook the bailouts to avoid what could have been catastrophic damage to the wider economy if the companies had suddenly gone under amid the general financial panic of late 2008 and early 2009. And while Treasury actually expects a $20 billion profit on the TARP bank bailout, there has never been much prospect of a similar outcome for GM. Indeed, the government wont make money on GM unless and until its stock hits $54 a share, which could take years. Even though GM has returned to profitability, its current woes include high gas prices, stagnant U.S. market share and costly pension

obligations. All the more reason for the Treasury Department to exit as rapidly as possible short of actually dumping stock at a discount. The mere fact of government ownership is a drag on GMs profit potential. Consumers bridle at doing business with Government Motors, as do potential new management hires. GM cant address either problem until the government gets out. Yes, the sale of the governments last shares in the auto behemoth will crystallize its losses while no one can ever quantify the averted disaster with the same precision. We have had our problems with the terms President Obamas team negotiated in bailing out GM (and smaller Chrysler). It could have driven a harder bargain. But voters will have to ultimately decide whether they got their moneys worth. Thats why selling GM, now or later, creates political risk for the Obama administration and why Treasury might as well get on with it.

Pockets of high joblessness in D.C.

V. Dion Hayness April 20 Economy & Business article, Jobless rate drops in Md. and Va., is steady in the District, showed the D.C. unemployment rate remaining stagnant at 9.5 percent. This article, however, overlooked the astonishing unemployment rates in neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River. According to new estimates for January, the joblessness rate is 20.7 percent in Ward 7 and slightly below 19 percent in Ward 8. For too long, ensuring that families in Anacostia have good, family-sustaining jobs has not been a public policy priority. As policymakers continue to track shifting demographics that are reshaping our city and the surrounding areas, identifying and addressing the underlying barriers to expanding prosperity to more families in neighborhoods with staggering unemployment rates will be crucial for the citys future. Elizabeth Lindsey, Washington The writer is managing director of the D.C. Project, a nonprofit aimed at creating clean-energy career opportunities for people from communities of high unemployment and poverty.

Same old Cuba

Raul Castros reform talk is just that.

TOM TOLES

T HAS NOW been five years since Raul Castro assumed control of the Cuban regime from his ailing older brother, Fidel. In that time, the younger Mr. Castro an accurate, if strange, description for a man who will turn 80 in June has repeatedly reflected on the economic failings of the Cuban Revolution and promised to correct them. Over the past year, in fact, Raul Castro has sounded almost apocalyptic. Either we change course, or we sink, he declared in December. We have the basic duty to correct the mistakes we have made over the course of five decades of building socialism in Cuba. Such rhetoric raised expectations that Raul would at last bring the free enterprise and political opening that Cuba so desperately needs. But Cubas Communist Party congress last week, the first such meeting since 1997 and the first ever under Rauls direction, confirmed that talk of reform in Cuba is mostly just that. Instead of liberating the economy, Raul sketched a program of limited privatization that could take at least five years to phase in. The most dramatic measure would authorize Cubans to buy and sell houses and cars for the first time since 1959, but Raul provided few details, except to assure Cubans that no one would be allowed to accumulate too much property. The plan calls for more licenses for small service businesses a measure partly aimed at converting black market enterprises into taxable ones. Even more disappointing was the lack of political reform or even a shake-up of the Communist hierarchy. Yes, Raul suggested choosing more non-Communists for government posts, but he offered no plan for elections or actual party competition. Instead, Raul promoted Jose Roman Machado Ventura, a longtime crony and fellow octogenarian, to the No. 2 spot in what is still the vanguard Communist party. Nor was there any

The Posts self-examination

I want to commend The Post for the introspective look at the rise of The Post Co.s for-profit education arm, the Kaplan division, in the April 10 Business story Hard lessons. The Post has a long history of independent writing and investigative journalism. The fact that the paper would conduct an investigative report on its own subsidiary keeps with this tradition, and it is my hope that The Post will continue to inform its readers about the for-profit education industry in the months to come. Tom Harkin, Washington The writer, a Democratic senator from Iowa, is chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which is investigating the for-profit education sector. indication that Cuba plans a conciliatory gesture toward the Obama administration, such as the release of Alan Gross, the 61-year-old U.S. aid worker recently sentenced to 15 years on trumpedup subversion charges. The Cuban revolution has devolved into a confused gerontocracy. Raul ostensibly recognizes that the mistakes of the past half-century have left the country nearly bankrupt; yet this clashes with his firm conviction and commitment of honor that the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party has as his main mission and meaning of his life: to defend, preserve and continue perfecting Socialism, and never allow the capitalist regime to return, as the Cuban state media put it. This is a contradiction that his bid to update the Cuban model cannot square any more than the previous reform campaigns that litter the revolutions history could. Raul Castros speeches at the congress were full of the usual attacks on slothful Cuban workers, inefficient party cadre and perfidious U.S. imperalism. But the truth is that Cubas problems are mostly of the Castro brothers own making. They may never end until the Castros regime does.

Where to find statues of women

Geoffrey Shepherd [letters, April 22] laments the lack of statues honoring women and their accomplishments around the Washington area, saying, We mainly have military guys on horses. Hell get some pushback on his claim from around the city, but he also overlooked a gallery of statues devoted to remarkable women at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on the campus of Catholic University in Northeast Washington. Located on the lower level outside the crypt is a gallery of statues of prominent American and international Catholic women and saints, including such figures as Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini and Mother Teresa. The Basilica also has a number of statues to honor our Blessed Mother. This monumental church, raised by Catholics of the United States because of their devotion to Mary the Mother of God, gives visibility to our faith and Catholic heritage. Chris J. Krisinger, Burke

D.C.s poker face

Only belatedly do officials consider the implications of allowing online gambling.
HEN THE IDEA of allowing online gambling first came before the D.C. Council, Chief Financial Officer Natwar M. Gandhi cautioned that there was no consensus on whether the proposal was permissible under federal law. Peter J. Nickles, then attorney general, followed up with his own concerns about the very real legal and law-related technological obstacles. No matter; the council, with no public comment and little scrutiny, blithely approved plans to make the city the first in the nation to legalize and promote online poker and other games. It would be prudent of the District to take another look at this issue to determine if its really a gamble worth taking. The legislation attracted very little attention when it was enacted in December. Tucked inside the Districts supplemental budget at the initiative of council member Michael A. Brown (I-At Large), the proposal bypassed committee review and any public hearings. Even then-Mayor Adrian M. Fenty, who was not consulted, was caught by

surprise. Only now are the Districts plans getting notice, the result of the attention focused on the citys budget by the recent negotiations to avert a federal shutdown. Not sure is what Mr. Brown told us when we asked why the normal route of getting legislation approved wasnt followed. Vincent C. Gray, council chairman at the time and now mayor, approved its inclusion in the supplemental budget. Innovative is how Mr. Gray recently described to Post reporters a plan that is projected to generate $13.1 million in revenue for the city between fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2014. Interest in online gaming, which would be run by the D.C. Lottery and limited to adults in the District, is cropping up across the country. Its the result of cash-strapped states wanting to tap into the billions of dollars of revenue already being generated by unregulated Internet gambling. But where the District leaped, other states have hesitated because of social policy concerns inherent in any expansion of gambling, as well as worries about passing legal muster. The Unlawful

Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, by which Congress sought to restrict the burgeoning online gambling sector by going after its payment mechanisms, exempts activity that occurs exclusively in one state. But the ambiguity in federal law is such that two states, Illinois and New York, have requested clarification, still pending, from the Justice Department. The District sought no such clarification, nor is it clear whether the city will be able to clear the technical hurdles, exaggerated by its unique geography, of restricting participation to those within the citys borders. Other issues need to be addressed. Will neighborhoods have a say in the location of planned hot spots? What minimum age will define an adult able to gamble? Does this expansion of gambling have implications for law enforcement? Council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), chairman of the finance and revenue committee, acknowledged to us there should have been a fuller airing of the plan, so we are pleased he plans to hold better late than never a public roundtable.

The route to fair redistricting

The Posts April 19 editorial Va.s democratic farce exposed the flaws of drawing electoral districts to favor one party. The process stifles competitive elections, and candidates with extreme views are elected more often than those who appeal to the average voter. It is no wonder that we have highly partisan legislative bodies whose members are more interested in demagoguery than producing serious legislation to address the states problems. Numerous proposals have been submitted to the General Assembly to make redistricting less political and more sensible. Here is a straightforward, nonpartisan solution: The legislature could lead the nation by drawing upon modern technology. A good computer program divides the commonwealth into contiguous districts, ensures that districts shall be as equally populated as possible and heres the compact territory provision ensures that districts are as square as possible except along the states edges. Done! James N. Fox, Fairfax

Malfunctioning Metro
I certainly agree with Deena Larsens April 10 letter, in which she describes visiting the D.C. area in a wheelchair and having a bad time finding signs in a Metro station to help her navigate the system. I am not wheelchair-bound, but for several months I have had pain in my legs. A few weeks ago the Red Line was single-tracking from Wheaton Station to Gallery Place/Chinatown Station. When I arrived at Wheaton, both the up and the down escalators were not working, and the elevator was blocked, with no indication that it was working; only later did I find out that it was. It was very painful for me to climb down the escalator steps on my way to Gallery Place, where the escalators and elevators to the upper floor were not working. There was no sign to show where the other elevator was. I had to walk down to the opposite exit to get out. I was worn out, and my legs hurt. And in response to Stephen B. Millers April 19 letter about overcrowding at Gallery Place on April 15, I had a similar situation when Metro did not plan for the St. Patricks Day parties downtown. I was at Metro Center around 9:30 p.m., and the Red Line was single-tracking. I did not arrive at Wheaton until close to 11 p.m. This is no way to run a first-class subway system. Now Metro wants to shorten the hours to do work at nights on weekends. I e-mailed Metro and got an unsatisfactory reply in return. Flora Jacobson, Wheaton

What isnt worthy of tolerance

I was bewildered by Bob Carneys April 21 letter in which he claims his anti-gay views deserve tolerance because they are based on his religion. It seems to me that ones religious views are a private matter that deserve respect only when they do not cause harm to others. Martin A. Coleman, Potomac

fghanistan has been mostly out of the headlines the last few months, in part because its winter freezes most fighting and in part because its been overshadowed by the Arab revolutions. As warmer weather brings back both the war and the debate over policy in Washington, the starting point could be summarized this way: Thanks to the U.S. military, the Taliban has been driven out of most of its southern strongholds since last summer. So in the coming months the Taliban will be trying to get back into Afghanistan. The U.S. military will try to hold on. And President Obama and his civilian political team will be searching desperately for a way out. Obama will have to decide soon how many American troops to withdraw this summer in keeping with his promise to begin in July to wind down the surge of reinforcements he ordered in late 2009. The Posts Rajiv Chandrasekaran has reported that Obamas civilian aides are pushing for a deadline of fall 2012 for the withdrawal of all of the 30,000 troops he sent. Why fall 2012? Even most Afghans realize the date has nothing to do with their country. The military drawdown appears likely to be accompanied by a new attempt to

The mirage of an Afghanistan exit A

promote a political settlement between the Afghan government and the Taliban. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton promised a diplomatic surge in a February speech in which she seemed to soften previous conditions for talks with the Taliban. The administration is said to be quietly encouraging a Turkish initiative to allow the Taliban to open an office in Turkey, which would provide a clear channel for communications. The idea of a quick political fix is seductive. Theres just one problem: Its an illusion. Not only is there no chance of striking a workable deal with the Taliban, but the pursuit of one is only likely to make an already difficult political situation in Afghanistan worse. I was reminded of this last week by Abdullah Abdullah, the former Afghan freedom fighter, foreign minister and presidential candidate and one of the countrys stronger advocates of political democracy. Abdullah was in Washington to make the case that the United States should keep investing its resources in building a democratic Afghan state. My concern is that there is an attitude here that the military campaign, as well as talks with the Taliban, will get us out of this, Abdullah said during a visit to The

Post. As part of that, a conclusion is being made that in Afghanistan democracy is not needed, or not possible, after all. Abdullah, of course, knows very well what evidence can be offered for that conclusion his own 2009 presidential race against Hamid Karzai was tilted by massive fraud. But the soft-spoken former ophthalmologist says believing in Afghan democracy is more sensible than supposing the Taliban which has yet to respond positively to many offers of engagement can be induced to make a political deal. The Taliban is not fighting this government in order to become part of the system, he said. They want to bring the system down. Pakistan, which just agreed to set up a commission with the Afghan government to explore peace talks, would be crucial to any deal. The supposition is that its military leaders would push the Taliban chiefs who have been their clients to accept power in Pashtun-populated areas of the south, but leave the rest of the country under something like its present government. But, Abdullah argues, Pakistan doesnt really want an Afghan settlement, either. A Taliban-dominated territory could quickly become a base for the fundamen-

talist factions who aspire to overthrow the government in Islamabad. Pakistan would like to have the Afghan decision in its hand, he said. But what is it they would like to see happen? I dont think they have an answer. Karzai, who has grown steadily more hostile to the United States, may find bargaining with the Taliban and Pakistan preferable to more elections. Democracy is no longer convenient for him, Abdullah says. But Karzai still needs a U.S. alliance in fact, he has been seeking to negotiate a formal agreement with Washington that would lock in U.S. economic and military support for years to come. So the only workable way forward, Abdullah says, is for the Obama administration to keep investing in Afghan institutions. What the United States must do is stand firm when it comes to issues of governance. Be consistent on democratic process, he advises. Put some conditions on assistance, and dont back off. I know this is difficult, but it is the reality, Abdullah argues. You have to deal with the ineffectiveness of the Afghan government, with the local political process. This is the reality. It is a long-term problem. There is, alas, no easy way out.

The budget conversation Obama should be having

E.J. DIONNE JR.

The real value of the false choice T

he idea that false choices are distorting our politics is under attack. I want to defend the concept for both substantive and personal reasons. The canary in the coal mine was my colleague Ruth Marcuss column on April 1 in which she argued directly: Its time to retire the false choice. As a rhetorical device, particularly as a political rhetorical device, the false choice has outlived its usefulness, if it ever had any, she wrote. The phrase has become a trite substitute for serious thinking. It serves too often to obscure rather than to explain. While I empathize with Marcuss frustration that false choices are sometimes invoked to evade choices altogether, I respectfully but passionately disagree with her. And she has company in her skepticism. A few days after her column appeared, NPRs Ari Shapiro offered a resolutely fair, balanced and entertaining piece about President Obamas affection for calling out false choices. He included the views of Mary Kate Cary, a false-choice critic and former speechwriter for President George H.W. Bush: Its tempting for the speaker to distort the two extremes in such a way that it makes the critics angry and invites a response like, well, that isnt at all what I said. Cary is right that the false-choice idea is easily misused. My favorite recent rendering of what a classically false false choice sorry about that looks like was offered by my friend Hendrik Hertzberg on his New Yorker blog. Praising Obamas budget speech at George Washington University this month, Hertzberg said he was relieved that the president did not descend into the worst kind of false choicery. I know its silly, Hertzberg wrote, but I was a little worried we might get something uncomfortably akin to We must reject both extremes, those who say we shouldnt help the old and the sick and those who say we should. Me, too; Im glad Obama didnt go near that sort of thing. But if there are false false choices, there are also real false choices. And here I should acknowledge my personal stake in this debate. Twenty years ago, I wrote a book called Why Americans Hate Politics, arguing that liberals and conservatives often imposed a series of false choices on voters that prevented them from

expressing their true preferences. Many voters preferred an intelligent both/and politics to an artificially constrained either/or approach. The classic case for me was the phony division of Americans into feminist and pro-family camps. I noted that most Americans accepted the equality of men and women but were concerned about how new work arrangements were affecting family life. Women who take time off from their careers to care for young children are routinely punished by having their opportunities for promotion reduced, I wrote. Is it feminist or is it pro-family to suggest that this practice is unfair? Is it feminist or pro-family to contend that this practice shows how little value society really places on the work that parents do? There were and are a slew of other paralyzing false choices in our political dialogue. President Bill Clinton wrote generously about the impact of my falsechoice argument on his own views in his memoir, My Life, and then proffered an excellent catalogue of false choices we needed to avoid. Among them: between excellence or equity in education; between quality or universal access in health care; between a cleaner environment or more economic growth; between crime prevention or punishing criminals. Unmasking false choices is especially important to progressives for whom the task of finding the proper balances between government and the market, between greater equality and the need for incentives, between a respect for tradition and a commitment to individual freedom is close to the heart of their political philosophy. In the current budget battle, the quintessential false choice is the core assertion of the House Republicans plan: that we have to choose either program cuts or tax increases. They go only for program cuts. Our purpose should be about finding the right balance between the two. Marcus, Cary and other false-choice critics can perform a useful service if they push politicians away from using the term either to caricature views they disagree with or to avoid making choices altogether. But we should not abandon the idea that battling false choices is essential to an honest framing of the choices we truly and urgently need to make.

An empty war on gas prices

Nothing brings out the shamelessness of Washington politicians like rising gas prices, and President Obama is the latest case. His Justice Department on Thursday announced a task force to investigate oil industry prices and practices for fraud. But if there is fraud here, it is that the president and Republicans in Congress continue to fuel the myth that the federal government might, with an investigation here or plans to drill there, affect the short-term world-market price of a commodity America doesnt and never will control. If Obamas new investigation sounds familiar, thats because its the sort of thing President George W. Bush and the GOP Congress did in 2005 and 2006. Their probes were a waste of money. Not only did investigators conclude that there was no widespread price fixing, they had a tough time even finding credible complaints of price manipulation. Does Obama really think that his administration will find anything funda-

mentally different about the sorts of factors that are pushing up gas prices now? Republicans are cynically encouraging this nonsense. National Journal reports that GOP lawmakers are passing bills and holding hearings that wont result in actual laws but will allow them to bash Democrats on gas prices, which they plan to make a major theme heading into the 2012 elections. Among other things, they are preparing to hit Democrats for not supporting a trio of bills from the House Natural Resources Committee that would expand offshore drilling. More offshore drilling isnt a bad idea in the long term, but it would do nothing to lower current gas prices. The Republicans gas-price campaign should also be familiar. Liberals tried something similar during the previous administration, when they blamed higher gas prices on Bushs foreign policy. Rising gas prices simply arent Obamas fault. Just as they werent Bushs fault. Americans need to get used to factors affecting gas prices that arent in Americas control, particularly that the developing world will demand more oil as the economies of nations such as China and India grow. Thats not ideology; its supply and demand.

aitis president-elect, Michel Martelly, known universally to his countrymen as Sweet Micky, is lets be delicate about this a new kind of political figure. Wildly popular during his two-decade career as a singer, he was notorious for wearing a diaper during performances, for mooning his audiences and for gleefully leading his fans in obscene chants and taunts. Given that stage persona, Haitians barely batted an eye at revelations during this years presidential campaign that Martelly used to snort cocaine and that several homes he owned in Florida were foreclosed on. But the Sweet Micky of yore was gone last week when he arrived in Washington for meetings with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and international aid organizations. In his place was a spruced up presidentelect, wrapped in a dark suit, sporting a sober tie and escorted by an entourage of thin-skinned advisers who bristled at questions about his past. Martelly wants to be taken seriously. And thank goodness. Sometimes I feel like people dont give me credit I didnt win the Lotto. There were 19 candidates, and I debated them and I beat them all, he said during a visit to The Post. If ever a country needed no-nonsense leadership, its Haiti right now. And if ever a country has suffered from an onslaught of political calamity combined with cataclysmic disasters, its Haiti for the last, well, pick your time period. The earthquake that struck Portau-Prince in January 2010, on the heels of devastating back-to-back hurricanes, crippled the hemispheres poorest nation. No amount of media marveling at the resilience of the Haitian people or the full-court press of international relief efforts could change the facts: hundreds of thousands of kids orphaned and out of school, a million people left homeless, a capital city carpeted in rubble and an economy on life support. Even as Haiti skirted post-quake fears of looting and violence, it was further ravaged last fall by one of the worlds worst recent outbreaks of cholera, an epidemic that has killed 5,000 people, infected a quarter-million and is still not finished claiming victims. Haitis already weak government, which lost at least a third of its senior civil servants when the ministry buildings collapsed, was rendered almost irrelevant. The listless President Rene Preval, his term coming to a close, all but disappeared. That sets the bar low for Martelly, who promises a new start when he is

inaugurated next month. He is busy fleshing out his mostly vague campaign promises, stressing the rule of law, free public education, jobs and new homes for the throngs still living in tent cities, and help for poor farmers. I must admit that my popularity [as an entertainer] has helped me, he said. But the election was not about my popularity. It was about my character traits honesty, determination, combativeness and preparation. It was also about being a fresh, vital force on the political scene, bringing with him energy and a new (mostly untested) crop of advisers, unbeholden to any recent political establishment. Little wonder that in the runoff election, Martelly, who is 50, beat a professorial 70-year-old former first lady 2 to 1. The president-elect has a troubling reputation for having pals that include some of the worst thugs and coup-plotters from Haitis dark recent decades. But in person, many of his instincts seem spot-on. I asked about his plans for Haitis gleaming white presidential palace long a symbol of opulence and repression which collapsed in the earthquake. I must say, thats the least of my worries, he answered with a shrug. I can stay at my house. Asked about Jean-Claude Duvalier and Jean-Bertrand Aristide divisive former presidents who have recently returned to Haiti from exile and who might face prosecution he passed, saying he preferred not to interfere with any judicial proceedings. Martelly was quizzed about his plans to resurrect the Haitian army, an infamously cruel, corrupt and repressive institution abolished by Aristide in 1994. At that, his advisers got their backs up, especially at the suggestion that a reconstituted army would be a Praetorian Guard used, as in the past, as muscle to enforce the presidents personal will. They insisted that this time around, the army would fight smugglers and stay clear of politics with the added benefit of providing jobs. But it is not clear that money exists for an army, and foreign donors are not likely to pay for one. Questioned about his future as an entertainer, or his one-time pledge to perform naked on the palace roof if he were elected president, Martelly demurred, presidentially. After three or four years, if I see everyone in school and people with jobs and progress, he said, Ill be happy enough to sing a song. Fully dressed, one suspects.

f youve wondered why its so hard to subdue budget deficits, you should consult a new study from the Congressional Budget Office called Reducing the Deficit: Spending and Revenue Options (free at www.cbo.gov). Youll learn from its 240 pages that the deficits definitely can be curbed. The CBO presents 105 policies (it doesnt endorse them) that would shrink deficits by trillions of dollars over the next decade. Youll also learn surprise! that most choices are political poison. Suppose we increased the federal gasoline tax by 25 cents a gallon, from 18.4 cents to 43.4 cents. That would raise $291 billion from 2012 to 2021, estimates the CBO. Or we could advance the ages for early and full Social Security benefits; one suggestion is to raise them (now 62 and 66) by two months a year until reaching predetermined targets (say, 64 and 70). The CBO reckons the decades savings at about $264 billion. How about slowly moving Medicares eligibility age from 65 to 67? The savings: $125 billion. Are we finished? Nowhere near. At most, these crowd pleasers would make noticeable dents. Recall that the deficits total almost $10 trillion over the next decade under President Obamas original 2012 budget. Thats the point: Even discounting the effects of the deep recession, prospective deficits are so large that they cant be cured by tinkering. We should be asking basic questions:  How big a government do we want? For four decades, federal spending has averaged 21 percent of gross domestic product. An aging population and high health costs mean that average spending, as a share of GDP, will rise by a third or more in the next 10 to 15 years if todays programs simply continue.  Who deserves government subsidies and how much? About 55 percent of spending goes to individuals, including the elderly, veterans, farmers, students, the disabled and the poor.  How much should social spending be allowed to squeeze national defense, if at all?  If taxes rise, how much and on whom? Which taxes would least hurt economic growth? We arent having this debate, and President Obama is mainly to blame. His recent budget speech at George Washington University was a telling model of evasion, contradiction and deception. He warned that by 2025 present tax levels would suffice only to pay for Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security and the interest we owe on our debt. . . . Every other national priority education, transportation, even our national security will have to be paid for with borrowed money. He noted that businesses may not invest in a country that seems unable to balance its books. Fine. But Obama has no plan to balance the budget ever. He asserted every kind of spending [is] on the table. But every kind of spending is not on the table. He virtually ruled out cutting Social Security, the governments biggest program (2011 spending: $727 billion). For example, Social Security is excluded from a proposed trigger that would automatically reduce spending and raise taxes if certain deficit targets werent met. He also put Medicare (2011 spending: $572 billion) largely off-limits. The president keeps promoting an adult conversation about the budget, but that cant happen if the First Adult doesnt play his part. Obama is eager to be all things to all people. Hes against the debt and its adverse consequences, but hes for preserving Social Security and Medicare without major changes. Hes for tough cuts, but hes against saying what they are and defending them. He pronounces ambitious goals without saying how theyd be reached. Mainly, hes for scoring political points against Republicans. Deficit politics are inherently unpopular. One way maybe the only way to break todays deadlock is to alter public opinion so that some government benefits are seen as unnecessary or illegitimate and some taxes are seen as fair burden-sharing. Given better health, longer life expectancy and wealthier elderly, why shouldnt Social Security and Medicare eligibility ages be raised and means-testing broadened? The president doesnt broach this debate. Farmers receive about $15 billion a year in crop subsidies to help offset the insecurities of weather and fluctuating prices. Considering that volatile markets impose similar insecurities on many Americans, why do farmers deserve special protection? The president doesnt engage that debate. Might not a higher gasoline tax reduce budget deficits and oil imports? Obama is silent there, too. All this may be politically shrewd. Voters disdain hard choices. Liberal pundits loved Obamas speech. But another audience is less impressed global money managers. The Financial Times respected columnist Gillian Tett recently asked whether the administrations reassuring patter on debt could be believed. Not entirely, she concluded. Shortly thereafter, Standard & Poors warned that it might downgrade U.S. government debt. Obama is flirting with trouble, even if he doesnt realize it.

Royal wedding? Some in Britain have had quite enough

haters from A1 I just dont care about the wedding, says Buddy Webb, who works as an orderly in a hospital. I just really could not care less. Wedding Countdown Starts Here!! Hello magazine advertises. Wrong. The wedding countdown started 70 million years ago. There has never been a time when we were not talking about the wedding: Who is coming (Madonnas ex). Who is not coming (Madonna). Which car will carry Kate to the Abbey and when. Apparently, at 10:51, shell be leaving for the church, Samantha Sylvester, a medical student, tells her friends while picnicking in Green Park. She pauses and looks horrified. God, why do I know this? Osmosis. Absorption. Subliminal messaging. Somehow, despite the fact that Sylvester does not buy tabloids or watch television, details about the wedding have hunted her down, as they have hunted everyone else in this country. Inceptioned her like nobodys business. Leonardo DiCaprio revealed Kate Middletons travel route to Sylvester in a dreamscape three levels down. She is not even planning to watch the wedding. But you cant avoid it, says Jerzy Weirzbowski, an event planner. Thats the thing. You go down for breakfast, and you just know its going to be there in the paper. Williams face. My [Polish] aunt keeps asking me to send her a plate. She already has a royal plate. How many does she need? He did not mind it at first. The general consensus is that, except for the ardent anti-royalists, nobody really minds Prince William or the concept of his nuptials. At first, wedding news was even a nice break from Libya or Egypt. Then the wedding ate the world. Now Weirzbowski wants a break from the break. He is just so tired. The onslaught continues. The pundits are only just arriving. All the morning shows, and evening shows, and in-between shows who will make sure that no detail is overlooked, even the ones you really wish they wouldnt tell you. Feel free to overlook this detail! you want to say, but no. They have already readied their Team of People With British Accents to comment, and comment they shall. Every famous person who has ever clipped an r is booked for the wedding. This includes Sharon Osbourne, Hugh Jackman (Australian, close enough), Cat Deeley and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Get out, says Sophie Tanza-

And the Diana comparisons, Henderson continues. She cannot stand the Diana comparisons. Theres no comparison! Shes a completely different person! Hes not marrying his mother. If he were, that would be weird. For a moment, lets just go there. Purge. Say every nasty thought that has crossed your mind. William and Kate are just people, and William didnt even do anything to get famous, he was born that way, and do you have any idea how much this wedding is costing the taxpayers, and shouldnt the money be spent on better things, and doesnt anybody realize there are wars going on?

Just look how excited we all got about Diana, and look how that marriage turned out. Fool me once, royals . . . Feel better? It actually makes sense that some Americans embrace the wedding more readily than some Britons. For Americans, the concept of the royal family exists on an abstract plane, bordering between endearing antiquity and fairy tale, as if Kate Middleton could sit down for tea with Cinderella and Rapunzel. Britons deal with the reality of royalty, and all the complicated questions that surround it whether the family is a cost or benefit, whether the practice represents worthwhile tradition or moldiness. Weddings are always stressful for the participants, and in this case the entire country is a participant. Tensions might be the slightest bit high.

You [Americans] had your whole revolution to get rid of them! bellows Michael Urwin, who owns a pub in central London. And now you want them! Take them! Just take them! Every time you look around theres a new mug, or a tea towel, or theyre talking about upgrading the telly to HD just so you can watch it, says Urwins friend Paul Kerney. Why dont they upgrade for something I actually care about? Something I actually care the least bit about? Urwin and Kerney have decided to throw a party at Urwins pub, Buffalo Bar, on Friday. Its called [Expletive] the Royal Wedding, and will feature performances by a band formed just for the occasion, which has named itself [Expletive] Off, [Idiomatic British Expletive] Off. The band has a special antiwedding set list prepared, ending with the Sex Pistols God Save the Queen. Its going to be, Urwin predicts, our biggest night of the year.

Still weighing 2012 run, GOPs Daniels says its time to cut bait
daniels from A1 fiscal issues over social ones, for appealing seriously to voters who are not part of the conservative coalition and for being prepared to compromise with Democrats to solve the debt problem. As he put it in a speech this year: Should the best way be blocked . . . then someone will need to find the second-best way. Or the third, because the nations survival requires it. Purity in martyrdom is for suicide bombers. For more than a year, Daniels has been on the fence about running for president. Now, with the legislative session in Indiana ending, he says he owes it to potential supporters to make a decision. Its time to cut bait, he said in an interview in his statehouse office. His decision will come just as the campaign for the Republican nomination is about to heat up. The first debate of the cycle is set for May 5 in South Carolina, though with only a partial cast likely to be onstage. Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and several lesser-known candidates have formed presidential committees. Newt Gingrich and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who have been moving around early states, are expected to make their final decisions soon. Businessman Donald Trump, who has leaped to the upper tier in the polls with a media blitz, will make a decision over the next month or so, as will Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). Former Utah governor and U.S. ambassador to China Jon Huntsman Jr. will return to the country soon and indicate whether he will run. Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin are hanging back. Daniels has looked to others to seize the issue of the countrys fiscal problems, hoping that would give him a good reason not to run. He has examined from various angles the question of whether he should run. Can he advocate as effectively for action on the debt problem if he does not become a candidate? Does the debate touched off by Ryans plan and Obamas response guarantee that the issue will be front and center in 2012 even without him? Will he set back the cause if he runs and does poorly? Daniels has an answer only for the last question: No. I would choose to believe that doing it and failing, which is maybe even the likely outcome, would somehow [have] advanced things, he said. Asked where he was in his thinking, Daniels replied with a laugh, Oh, muddled. Then he turned serious: I dont want to leave a misimpression. If we get in, we will go all out, and we know a little about how to do that. So reluctance or hesitation about running doesnt mean we would be a reluctant candidate if we got there. Asked about family considerations friends say his wife has been opposed Daniels goes quiet. I dont have much more to say about that, he said. Its just a very important factor. As he deliberates, calls come into his office, and the offices of his political advisers and friends, with words of encouragement. He has drawn praise from a number of conservative commentators. They see him as someone who can espouse conservative ideas but who believes the GOP must avoid appearing harsh or braying. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush told a Jacksonville audience in February that, among prospective GOP candidates, Daniels was the only one who sees the stark perils and will offer real detailed proposals. Democrats, too, are taking him seriously. Obama advisers see him as a credible general-election candidate, if he can survive a nomination battle. Democrats, with some encouragement from testing should be part of any solution to restructuring Social Security and Medicare. Daniels said he was deeply disappointed by Obamas recent budget speech. At a time when we should seek to unify Americans around the big changes necessary to deal with this life-anddeath issue, he was divisive and partisan, he said. In terms of content, it was worse than empty. and burn. Dan Parker, the chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party, said Danielss record earlier in his term on taxes a sales tax increase that was part of a broader plan that lowered property taxes and a cigarette tax increase to fund health care for low-income families could draw criticism from conservatives. One questionable decision was his attempt to privatize parts of the state welfare system. Indiana turned over the processing of eligibility claims to private contractors, including IBM. After widespread complaints, Daniels and other state officials decided to terminate the contract and have instituted a hybrid system. The result is a nasty lawsuit. IBM lawyers want to depose Daniels; he is resisting. Danielss critics say the details of the privatization plan, as they become better known, will raise questions about the governors judgment and management oversight. In his first days in office, Daniels ended collective bargaining for state employees. Unlike what has happened in Wisconsin and Ohio this year, where Republican governors and legislators have pushed to do the same, Danielss decision, done by executive order, created almost no controversy. Daniels has also avoided confrontational tactics when it suits him. This spring, when Democratic legislators, angry over a legislative proposal to make Indiana a right-to-work state, staged a walkout, Daniels successfully persuaded Republican legislators to shelve the bill. He feared that a battle with unions would jeopardize his education agenda. Daniels still hopes other candidates will take up the banner of fiscal reform. Friends say he is now dubious that they will. That leaves him where he has been for more than a year on the fence but with the clock about to expire.

The Bush years

Danielss focus will prompt questions about his service as budget director during the first 21/2 years of Bushs presidency, as the country was beginning to move from surpluses to sizable deficits and a big increase in the national debt. Daniels argues that the problem has ballooned dramatically under Obama, that debt and deficits today represent a far bigger share of the overall economy than in the Bush years. Wed give anything to be within a country mile of that now, he said. But he also argues that the best judge of his record is as a governor who set his own priorities. Nobodys perfect, he said, but if you go look at our record, I think its by most measures a strong one. That record includes shrinking state government employment to its smallest level since the late 1970s (and to the lowest per capita of any state in the country), keeping his budget in the black through the worst of the recent recession without raising taxes, and a package of education proposals that he hopes will be enacted by the end of the month. Daniels says hes also proud of the work he has done to improve the business climate in the state. Democrats see his record in less glowing terms. State Rep. B. Patrick Bauer, the Democratic leader of the House, called Danielss approach to budgets slash

JOSE LUIS MAGANA/ASSOCIATED PRESS

At the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-Ind.) outlined the fiscal threat he sees looming.

Washington, have begun to step up their criticism of him and to question whether his record will hold up to serious scrutiny.

Potential appeal
Danielss potential supporters see him as the anti-Obama, a 5-foot-7-inch, motorcycle-riding, balding politician who lacks the charisma Obama displayed during his 2008 campaign but who they believe has the intellectual heft and plainspoken appeal to go toe-to-toe with the president. In reality, no one can predict how he would fare. His biography includes two terms as governor, service in the Reagan White House, and stints at the conservative Hudson Institute think tank and as an executive at Eli Lilly before joining the George W. Bush administration as budget director. Danielss retail candidate skills honed by nights spent in the homes of strangers and encounters with voters in coffee shops, fairs and flea markets along the back roads of his state could play well in Iowa and New Hampshire. But his capacity to generate

real enthusiasm across the party remains in question. He is still a blip in the polls. In a field with many candidates who carry baggage, Danielss biggest burdens might be how he would run. Although he is solidly antiabortion, he has called for a truce on social issues to keep the focus on the countrys fiscal problems. That has riled social and religious conservatives and is already drawing criticism from potential rivals. Danielss stock rose earlier this year after he spoke to the American Conservative Unions annual Conservative Political Action Conference, where he delivered a sobering speech outlining the fiscal threat he sees looming. In the debate between Ryan and Obama, Daniels knows where he stands. He called Ryans proposal for ending Medicares defined-benefit structure exactly the right direction to head, though he says he is open to other serious alternatives. Asked about Ryans proposal to convert Medicaid into a block grant with full flexibility for states, he replied, Bring it on. He says that means

D.C. Council race may be case of many candidates, few voters

BY

T IM C RAIG

Candidates running in Tuesdays special election for an atlarge seat on the D.C. Council spent the weekend pleading for votes at farmers markets and churches and on front porches across the District, capping a campaign that could be decided by a few hundred votes. In a race that has the potential to alter the balance of power on a council governing a rapidly

changing city, the eight men and one woman running in the citywide election said they will keep fighting for votes until the polls close at 8 p.m. Tuesday. The candidates largely agree on many major issues, meaning the race will probably hinge on what sort of message voters want to send to a council and mayor dealing with recent scandals and a looming budget debate that could pit the citys wealthiest residents against some of its poorest.

The voters are going to tell us in this special election which direction they want the city to go, said council member David A. Catania (I-At Large). In some ways, Im personally viewing this election as a referendum on the city, more so than on the individual characters in the race. The candidates with the best chance to win appear to be former council member Vincent B. Orange and council member Sekou Biddle, both Democrats, and Patrick Mara, the school

One Sunday in 2009, the principal of Potomac Lighthouse Public Charter School in Northeast Washington called the schools board to say she was quitting. The next day, school officials said, she didnt come to work. A national search team placed ads in newspapers and on job boards but received just 15 applications. Of those, only five had the qualifications that school officials were seeking. And it was already a month into the school year. Potomac Lighthouse soon solved its problem appointing an interim principal before settling on one of the candidates for the permanent position. But such leadership quandaries are growing more common in the District and in other locations where charter-school movements are robust. The supply of skilled, experienced talent is not keeping up with demand. Charter school supporters say the shortage of high-quality leaders could significantly slow the movement at a time when about 400 new charters are opening

annually creating several hundred top positions that must be filled. It is hard to find a good charter leader, said Regan Kelly, vice president of Lighthouse Academies in the District. Its not an easy problem, but its one that people need to get their heads around. Unlike traditional public schools, most charters dont have the resources of a school district such as recruitment teams or pools of resumes to find new leaders quickly. And turnover at the top level in charters is high. Seventy-one percent of charter leaders plan to leave their positions in the next five years, according to the Center on Reinventing Public Education at the University of Washington Bothell, which studied the issue last year. There is also a dearth of training programs geared toward charter leaders, who tend to have more responsibilities than their counterparts in traditional public schools. Experts say good leadership is key to improving student performance. New Leaders for New Schools, a New York-based nonprofit group that prepares principals and other top administrators for urban schools, found in 2009 that more than half of a schools charters continued on B2

Yohannes Michael Tekles journey to the United States began after his sister was drafted into the Eritrean army and, he said, ordered to serve as a sex slave for a high-ranking official. When she refused, she was imprisoned for six months. Soon afterward, a senior military officer went to Tekles school and urged students to sign up for the army. The 20-year-old stood up and publicly accused the army of forced conscription and sexually abusing female recruits. Tekles schoolmates cheered as guards escorted him away. That evening, he was arrested and detained for three months. This launched his determination to flee in what would become a 17-month voyage to the Washington area, which concluded with his being granted asylum this month. Tekle, now 24, said in an interview that he paid thousands of dollars to smugglers to ar-

Tekle was shot at, beaten by security guards and nearly suffocated while stowed in the false bottom of a truck.

5 tips for shedding college anxiety

ts the last week of April, college crunch time. You may be both recovering from the disappointment of rejection and worrying about which school that accepted you is best. Here are my five mental-health tips for surviving this moment: 1. Those rejections arent your problem. University of South Florida education Professor Sherman Dorn says the greatest barriers for college-bound students will not be the inability to be admitted into every place you apply but the challenge of getting the money for college, dealing with university budget cuts and surviving the daunting academic demands of the first semester. Dorn chides education writers such as me who bemoan great students getting rejected by their first choices but ignore the fact that they almost all got into good places. 2. If you dont like the college you chose, its easy to get another one. We have a former college transfer student in the White House. He moved from Occidental College to Columbia University his junior year. About 20 percent of students who start at one four-year college graduate from another four-year college. Many more start at two-year colleges, then move to four-year schools. People who say picking a college is as important as picking a spouse are wrong. Its more like buying a house. If you discover the bad soil ruins your tomatoes, sell it and buy another one. 3. Your future success has no bearing on whether your grandmother has heard of your college. Database researcher Stacy Berg Dale, now at Mathematica Policy Research, and Princeton economist Alan B. Krueger wrote a research paper in 1999 titled Estimating the Payoff to Attending a More Selective College: An Application of Selection on Observables and Unobservables. It revealed that students accepted by selective colleges but who decided to attend non-selective ones were making just as much money 20 years later as those who attended

the selective, brand-name schools. Those prestigious colleges were good at recruiting students who had the character traits, such as persistence, humor and charm, that produced success in life. But students with those qualities who went to colleges rarely mentioned in the rankings did just as well. It is your character that makes the difference. Work hard, and all will be well. 4. Your college will have many Ivy League-quality students and professors. Admissions officers at colleges that reject 80 or 90 percent of applicants readily admit that there is no difference between applicants they accept and large numbers of the applicants they reject. As proof of that, some wait-list more students than they accept. In the case of very selective colleges, the number of rejected high-quality applicants can be two or three times as large as the admitted freshman class. Some of those disappointed but brilliant people, like you, will go to your school and give it the intellectual fizz and take-charge energy you find at the Ivies. Universities such as Rutgers, James Madison and Salisbury, for instance, admit slightly more students than they reject but are great places to learn. They get not only a spillover of Ivy League-quality students, but also Ivy Leaguequality professors. 5. Whatever your mood now, you will be happy once you ditch your parents. Maybe you developed a taste for NCAA basketball championships and are heartsick at being rejected by Duke. Maybe you wont be enjoying the milkshakes at the Peninsula Creamery because Stanford shunned you. No matter. You got in somewhere that has some intriguing features. For the first time, you get to decide what you do every day. In just four months, you will be making friends and sampling new experiences in what are likely to be the most unsettling, strenuous and exciting years of your life. Enjoy.

NEW LEADERS FOR NEW SCHOOLS

Rebecca Crouch, left, and Danalyn Hypolite participate in a February seminar for the Districts New Leaders for New Schools program.

Lack of leaders plagues charter schools

charters from B1 impact on student achievement can be attributed to principal and teacher effectiveness. In the 2009 study, principals accounted for 25 percent and teachers 33 percent of the effect. I think [the leadership shortage] has already substantially throttled the growth of charter schools, said Eric Premack, director of the Charter Schools Development Center, a Sacramento-based nonprofit group that offers training, resources and technical assistance to charters nationally. We would have two to three times as many schools operating if we didnt have this problem. One weekday, aspiring principal Danalyn Hypolite and Shawn Hardnett, a leadership coach for the New Leaders for New Schools program in the District, walked down the wide hallways of Paul Public Charter School in Northwest. Each carried a plate of King Cake that Hypolite, a New Orleans native, had brought for the staff. It was only Tuesday morning, but Hypolites week had already been hectic. I was here until eight last night, she told Hardnett. He just laughed. Welcome to the rest of leadership, Hardnett said Hypolite is more than halfway through a 15-month New Leaders for New Schools program, one of only a handful nationwide that offer extensive, personal training for potential leaders of charter schools. (The program also trains those who want to work in traditional public schools.) Hardnett has become a confidant of Hypolites. They meet weekly, dissecting encounters she has with students and parents, planning academic projects and preparing for teacher observations and meetings. The training program begins in the summer and continues with year-long paid residencies. Participants spend the summer together, and by spring the program separates those who are preparing to work at traditional schools from those focused on charters. The charter leaders, who will operate with more autonomy than principals at traditional schools, must learn to recruit students and balance budgets. They often have to raise money and secure their own facilities. Good leaders need to have not only the core skills around improving student achievement and evaluating teachers, said James Merriman, director of the New York City Charter School Center, a nonprofit group that helps new charters get started and supports existing ones. They also need to know how to manage upwards to their board of trustees . . . and navigate the shoals of living in and working in a community. Comprehensive training programs spend time on all of these issues, but there is a limit to how many graduates they can produce. With programs in 12 urban districts across nine states and the District, New Leaders for New Schools accepts about 100 applicants 7 percent of those who apply each year. At the D.C. program this year, six out of 12 residents are being trained to be principals at charter schools. Nationally, about 25 percent of new leaders go on to run charters. Some charter schools are starting to train teachers from within their own ranks to take leadership roles. But far more schools dont have any plan should their principals retire . Only half of the nations charter schools said they had succession plans last year, and many of those plans were weak, said Christine Campbell, author of the study from the Center on Reinventing Public Education. The D.C. Public Charter School Board, which oversees the citys 98 charter schools, makes recommendations to schools about developing succession plans. Its nothing enforceable, said Tamara Lumpkin, deputy director of the board. We want to respect schools autonomy, but we do think its a good thing to have.

The Answer Sheet

VALERIE STRAUSS

By Education Tweak
A new study offers conclusive proof that taller teachers are more effective. Using sophisticated statistical modeling techniques, researchers Tom Able and Eric Fotushek were able to show that if the least effective (a.k.a. the shortest) teachers were removed from the teaching ranks at a rate of just 7 percent each year and were replaced by teachers with just average effectiveness (approximately 5-foot-41/2 for women and 5-foot10 for men), then within a decade, American teacher quality would

Excerpt from washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet

Finally, we have a research study that tells us something concrete about effective teachers. And it will make you laugh. The national obsession in education reform has become how to assess teachers, and the big push is to measure how much value a teacher adds to a students learning by measuring growth on standardized tests. This value-added approach has been slammed by assessment experts, study after study shows that it is not valid, and it ignores that kids come to school with lots of baggage that can affect how they perform. But that isnt stopping this particularly damaging wave of reform which, inexplicably to many who voted for President Obama, has support from his administration from hitting public schools hard and ugly. Its enough to make you cry but dont. Instead, read the following story from a recent edition of a satirical publication called Education Tweak:

among be the best in the world. The key element of this study, Able said, was our ability at the outset to conclusively define teachers effectiveness as equivalent to their height, before we even started looking at the data. Once we figured that out, the rest was easy because there is substantial variation in teachers height and unlike other possible measures of teacher quality height is very, very stable across years. Fotushek said that the weaker teachers are easily defined as the shorter teachers who the study definitively shows are shorter. If those teachers are replaced by

more effective teachers the taller teachers who the study definitively shows are taller the result is very clearly that the average teaching force becomes more effective (taller). The beauty of this research, Able said, is that Im pretty sure we could also improve teachers effectiveness this way if we were to use their hair color, their age, or even their students value-added test scores. All we have to do is make sure our outcome measure of teacher effectiveness is the same thing were manipulating in our models.

A scholar investigates bad behavior and poverty, and the stereotypes shatter
milloy from B1 have no intention of working if they can help it and who convince girlfriends to help them but also bankrupt them. They leave the girlfriend as soon as they find out the woman is pregnant, mothers who use their 3-year-old to babysit their infant while they go out for the night, plus the common outright cases of physical and emotional abuse by the live-in boyfriend. And you probably thought that such pathology only existed in predominantly black Southeast Washington. Using social and economic data from 1960 to last year, Murray found that working-class whites have experienced steep declines in marriage, church attendance and work ethic. Among the upper middle class, life is good, he said. Marriages are relatively stable, work is plentiful, and strong connections to religious institutions are being maintained. But the income gap among whites is expanding at an alarming rate, leading to the emergence of a new-breed white elite: offspring of the Ivy League set who could spend a lifetime cocooned with their own kind, oblivious to what is happening on the other side of the economic divide. Murray, who is white and has degrees from Harvard and MIT, did not aim his talk at making comparisons between blacks and whites; rather, his observations were part of what he called a

COURTLAND MILLOY
work in progress that focuses on white people because they are the reference point for measuring the progress of other groups in this country. He just wanted to see how the measuring stick had held up through the years. Of course, anytime Murray starts measuring anything having to do with race, watch out. Back in 1994 he co-authored, along with Richard J. Herrnstein, The Bell Curve, a controversial (many would say offensive) study of intelligence and class structure in American life. Nevertheless, his lecture at the AEI this month offered a snapshot of white people that contrasts sharply with the version of white America that exists in the popular imagination. During this recession, for instance, you hardly ever hear white people being blamed for their economic woes the way black people have been, even though many of them have been suffering through a depression. A story in a recent issue of Newsweek, titled Beached White Males, portrayed unemployed white professional men as being down but not out, as struggling mightily to get back on their feet. And if they are angry and depressed, not always sure how

to get another job, its because unemployment can be emotionally and economically devastating. The black unemployed are rarely treated with such sympathy. Whites in poverty are seen as penny-pinching their way out of an economic hole created by forces beyond their control; poor blacks are seen as having dug their own hole by being undisciplined spendthrifts. Along comes Murray to crack the white stereotype of inherent virtue and industry. In the 1990s, why would you have larger numbers of white males leaving the workforce when jobs were everywhere? Murray asked. A different attitude towards work, a fundamental change in the norm,

thats what I have identified. My point is not that whites are worse than blacks, but that we are more alike than different. The trend lines from Murrays study are remarkably similar to those that run through black America particularly the widening income gap as the recession drives more of the working class into poverty. In the quest for truly one nation, this is a threat, Murray said of the increased separation of the social classes. And, judging from the state of white America, the root of the problem has less to do with the usual scapegoats such as black and brown people or President Obama than with white people themselves.

Man killed after crashing car in yard

A 22-year-old Reston man was killed Sunday after he lost control of the car he was driving and crashed into a back yard off the Fairfax County Parkway. Fair Oaks police said Arturo Cruz Zaldivar of Cocquina Drive was driving a 1988 Oldsmobile Bravada near West Ox Road about 2 a.m. when he lost control of the vehicle. Officers said the car went off the left side of the road and spun counterclockwise as it traveled across the grassy median and southbound lanes of the parkway. The vehicle took out some trees and crashed through a wooden fence before it came to rest on its roof in the back yard of a home in the 13100 block of Lou Alice Way. Zaldivar, who was not wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 20-year-old male passenger, who was wearing a seat belt, was treated for minor injuries. Police said speed and alcohol appeared to be factors in the crash. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 866-411-8477.

Leesburg man dies in suspected DUI crash

A 60-year-old Leesburg man who was a passenger in a car his son was driving died Saturday in a suspected drunken-driving crash on Harpers Ferry Road in Loudoun County, authorities said. Michael A. Rollison, 43, of Leesburg was driving a Ford Bronco north on Harpers Ferry Road with his father, Ronnie L. Miller, 60, also of Leesburg. The Bronco rear-ended a small sportutility vehicle about 2 p.m., according to the Loudoun County Sheriffs Office. The Bronco, which authorities said was traveling at high speed,

overturned after the collision. Neither Rollison nor Miller was wearing a seat belt, and the Bronco did not have airbags, authorities said. Miller, who was in the passenger seat, was taken to Jefferson Memorial Hospital in Ranson, W.V., where he died. The driver and passenger in the other vehicle were not injured. Rollison was charged with driving under the influence and was being held without bond. It is his third DUI charge in the past 10 years, authorities said.

Dawns early light inspires Easter crowds

easter from B1 whom had jogged and biked to the service, about how he had forgotten the words to his own sermon. And about their fear of letting loose and waving their arms while they prayed. I want those of you who dont feel comfortable putting up two or one arm to just put an arm up halfway, said Dodge, a Vienna pastor who began the service 33 Easters ago with 120 people at the Reflecting Pool. Youll remember Easter 2011 as the time I went crazy! In another quintessential Washington Easter scene, members of Shiloh Baptist Church endured metal detectors, Secret Service agents and a phalanx of D.C. police to get into a service the Obamas would be attending. I was so excited, I forgot to make my Easter eggs, said Rosa Peak, 84, who was among those in line at dawn for the 10 a.m. service at Shiloh, which was founded by freed slaves in the 1860s in the citys Shaw neighborhood. Peak was one of the first African American teachers to work in then-all-white Southern High School in Baltimore, starting in 1956. But overcoming that hurdle wasnt as powerful to her, she said, as living to see a black president. The Obamas came in the side door and were among the 3,000 people who heard the Rev. Wallach Charles Smiths sermon, The Resurrection Changes Everything. They took to their feet for raucous hymns and watched as several children and an adult were baptized. After welcoming the president, Smith offered him the opportunity to speak from the pulpit. Obama raised his hand, waved and smiled, but declined, as he has done each year of his presidency. At the same time, a few dozen homeless men streamed into the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church for an Easter breakfast, a few blocks from the Obamas home. The weather is beautiful. I just had a cup of coffee. Im feeling well its a good Easter, said Amos Smith, 48, of Baltimore, who said he has been living in the neighborhood near the White House for about two years. Sitting in one of the uppermost seats at the Lincoln Memorial service were Erich and Carol Hoernle of New Jersey, who were on the final day of a week-long vacation in Washington. Because Carol, 59, is a teacher, they often travel on the holiday and find sunrise services wherever they go by asking the National Park Service since public parks are often inspiring places for worship. Or, if theyre home, they attend a sunrise service at a nearby beach. A lot of ministers dont really inspire you, but this one did, Erich, 66, said of Dodge and his sermon about Christianity providing doors to get in, out of and through situations in life. It was poignant. The couple said they were next headed for the U.S. Botanic Garden once it opened. Dodge, pastor of the evangelical Capital Church in Vienna, was a blend of tour guide, pastor and talk show host, walking through the crowd on the steps, cracking jokes and praising the citys monuments. He spoke about Easter, when Christians mark the resurrection of Jesus, as a real story about not a metaphor for second chances. Whats your greatest fear? Hope? Dream for yourself and your family? he asked. The crowd ranged from sweaty joggers and bikers with their earbuds off to sleepy little girls in fancy dresses, families in matching sweatshirts and ushers in suits. By a show of hands, the crowd was largely first-timers. Veterans of the service knew to bring blankets and beach chairs for the wet grass and sunglasses for the view down the Mall, directly into the rising sun. Dodge said Sunday was the warmest service in 33 years it was 60 degrees at sunrise and he recalled Easters that have come with pouring rain and subfreezing temperatures. Its nice to be with people outside just your regular community, said David Wall, 36, who biked with his wife, Carrie, from Annandale. The couple met at an Easter lunch four years ago, and on Sunday they were considering going home, showering and going to a second Easter service at their own church. By 8 a.m., the Lincoln Memorial service was over, and workers were breaking down the chairs and the stage. A fresh crowd of tourists was heading up the stairs to see the memorial as different Easters were beginning to unfold across the city.

Man killed, 1 injured in Potomac house fire

A man was killed early Sunday in a house fire in the 8500 block of Scarboro Court in Potomac, Montgomery County officials said. The name of the victim was not released pending notification of relatives. Montgomery fire officials said a neighbor saw fire coming from the rear of the house and called for help about 4:35 a.m. Firefighters found heavy fire in the kitchen area of the first floor. An unconscious man was found in a second-floor bedroom. He was taken to Suburban Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Another man was found outside the house and was taken to Suburban Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation. He said he and the other man had been cooking, and fire officials found a damaged saucepan on a stovetop burner.

Marlboro area reported they had lost power. Clay Anderson, a spokesman for the utility, said five circuit feeders were not working at a substation, leaving about 6,800 customers without electricity on Easter. Crews tried to offset the problem by moving loads from that

substation to others in the area, Anderson said. Shortly after 1 p.m., Anderson said that power had been restored to most of those in the affected area. The problem, crews discovered, was that a snake had fouled up a breaker at the substation, Anderson said.

The snake got stuck in a breaker and was electrocuted, and crews had to remove the remains to fix the equipment. The snake gummed up the works, Anderson said. It sounds bizarre, but [the crew] said it was a gooey mess.

Self-taught hunter of dinosaur fossils

Sekou Biddle, who holds the D.C. Council seat on an interim basis, stumps in Columbia Heights.

Council candidates chase votes

vote from B1 bloggers and environmental and progressive activists can mobilize enough support for their preferred candidate, Democrat Bryan Weaver of Adams Morgan. The election also will determine whether the young Democratic activists who backed exmayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) last year have a new leader in Joshua Lopez (D). Lopez was at the helm of the write-in campaign for Fenty in the falls general election after the then-mayor lost to Vincent C. Gray in the Democratic primary. Also running as Democrats for the at-large seat are education activist Tom Brown, a political newcomer who has impressed observers at forums, and Ward 7 school board member Dorothy Douglas. D.C. Statehood Green Party candidate Alan Page and lawyer Arkan Haile, an independent, also will be on the ballot. Depending on the winner, the election could create either a majority-white or -black council. It could give the council its first Hispanic member, should Lopez take the seat. The election also could determine whether embattled Chairman Kwame R. Brown (D) will have six allies on the 13-member council. The most dramatic result would be if Mara is victorious in a city where three out of four voters are registered Democrats. I am saying I am the one member who would not only be the fiscal but the ethical watchdog of the D.C. Council, said Mara, a consultant and former lobbyist who bills himself as a socially progressive, fiscally conservative Republican. There are signs Mara has momentum, but Orange remains better known and has prepared a well-funded get-out-the-vote effort. They are going to empty out the senior buildings all day long, said Sean Metcalf, an adviser to Orange. Orange, an accountant and lawyer, says his experience is needed on the council to help balance the budget. In recent days, Orange has been stepping up efforts to highlight Maras party affiliation, sending out mailers trying to link him to conservative Republicans on Capitol Hill. Though Orange is hoping Democrats citywide rally behind his candidacy to stop Mara, the former council member appears to be targeting black voters. On Saturday, Orange supporters handed out leaflets in Southeast

He was a onetime plumber who discovered some of the worlds most significant dinosaur fossils and gained unexpected renown pursuing his lifelong avocation as a fossil hunter. From Mexico to Montana, selftaught paleontologist and archaeologist Harley Garbani spent decades prospecting for bones in the badlands where bedrock is exposed. He also amassed one of the finest collections of American Indian artifacts in Southern California. His prime fossil finds are on display at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the University of California Museum of Paleontology in Berkeley and the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Mont. Mr. Garbani died Thursday of undisclosed causes at his home in Hemet, Calif. He was 88. He didnt have any academic training in the field, and he didnt do any research, said Luis Chiappe, director of the Natural History Museums Dinosaur Institute. He was primarily a field person, and he made some truly unique discoveries. Those finds include the partial skulls of the youngest-known Tyrannosaurus rex and the youngest-known triceratops, two iconic dinosaurs, which will be on display in the museums new Dinosaur Hall when it opens July 16.

The skulls are among many of Garbanis fossil finds that have been displayed over the years at the L.A. County museum, which paid him to lead fossil-hunting expeditions to Montana in the 1960s. While leading such a trip in 1966, Garbani found the skull, jawbone and other parts of a T. rex on the Engdahl Ranch, 20 miles northwest of the small town of Jordan, Mont. That was only the third specimen that was in any way complete that had ever been found, said paleontologist Lowell Dingus, who devoted a chapter to Garbani in his 2004 book, Hell Creek, Montana: Americas Key to the Prehistoric Past. During the summers from 1972 until several years ago, Mr. Garbani was part of the field crews of Berkeleys Museum of Paleontology who made trips to Montana. He just had a sense for being able to find these amazing fossils both large and small, said Bill Clemens, a curator at the Berkeley museum who led the field trips. His skill at this wasnt simply based on luck. What he was able to do was figure out the kinds of rock layers and the kinds of outcrops that were most likely to have fossils because he had found them in similar-looking rock layers before. Mr. Garbani who had, among other things, a previously unknown gopher species and a

small dinosaur named after him received the Society of Vertebrate Paleontologys first Morris F. Skinner Award in 1990, in recognition of his fossil-collecting and contributions to science. Mr. Garbani was born Sept. 19, 1922, in Los Angeles and moved to the San Jacinto Valley in Riverside County when he was 3. Growing up on a farm, he made his first find while trying to catch a pony when he was 8. It was a large point, like part of a knife or spear, he told the Los Angeles Times in 2007. I was hooked ever since. A year later, his father was driving an earthmover and young Harley was following behind when he made another discovery. It was a petrified bone, a femur. It came from a very large camel from the Pleistocene Age, he said. I was 9 and had a collection going. For many years, Mr. Garbani searched for American Indian artifacts within a hundred-mile radius of the San Jacinto Valley. He helped inspire a group to create the Western Science Center at Diamond Valley Lake near Hemet, where some of his archaeological items have been displayed. His collection will be donated to the center, according to his wife, Mary. In addition to his wife, survivors include a son, David; three grandchildren; and four greatgrandchildren.

OF NOTE

Sathya Sai Baba

HINDU GURU Hindu guru Sathya Sai Baba, worshipped as a god by millions of followers worldwide, died April 24 in a hospital near his ashram in southern India. He was 86. He had spent nearly a month on breathing support and dialysis while struggling with multipleorgan failure after being admitted March 28 to the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, near his ashram in Puttaparthi village in Andhra Pradesh state. Women selling marigold garlands broke down in tears outside the ashram when the news of his death was announced, and followers began trickling into the temple complex where the gurus body would lie in state Sunday night through Tuesday. Hundreds of thousands of devotees are expected to pay last respects. The saffron-robed Sathya Sai Baba had a huge following, with ashrams in more than 126 countries and Indian devotees who included high-placed politicians, movie stars, athletes and industrialists. He was said to perform miracles, conjuring rings, watches and vibhuti a sacred ash that his followers applied on their foreheads from his Afro-style hair. But rationalist critics led campaigns against him, calling him a charlatan and his miracles fake. Several news reports also alleged he committed sexual abuse against devotees allegations he denied as vilification campaigns. Officials and celebrities expressed sadness at the gurus passing, remembering him as a great pious personality who worked selflessly to help others. Sri Satya Sai Baba was a spiritual leader who inspired millions to lead a moral and meaningful life, even as they followed the religion of their choice, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in a statement. His death is an irreparable loss to all, and the nation deeply mourns his passing away. Born Nov. 23, 1926, as Sathyanarayana Raju, he was said as a child to display a tendency toward spirituality and unusual intelligence, which he expressed through music and dance and writing poetry and plays. In 1940, at the age of 14, he declared himself an avatar, or reincarnation, of another Hindu holy man called the Sai Baba of Shirdi, a town in western Maharashtra state, who died in 1918. As the young guru attracted followers, his home of Puttaparthi grew from a sleepy village into a vibrant town with the sprawling Prasanthi Nilayam ashram built in 1950, as well as a large hospital, a university and schools run by his Satya Sai Central Trust, set up in 1972 with donations from devotees. The trust estimated to be worth at least $8.9 billion and possibly much more also established spiritual centers in the cities of Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai. It built another hospital in Bangalore, where Sathya Sai

Baba had a summer home, and funded water supply projects in several southern states. Though no successor has been named to run the trust, it has assured there is or will be no vacuum, according to a recent statement released after the guru was hospitalized. Sathya Sai Baba was never married and has no children.

Max van der Stoel

HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCATE
After the Persian Gulf War, Max van der Stoel was the expression of the worlds conscience and a thorn in the side of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Every year for eight years, the former Dutch foreign minister and special U.N. human rights representative wrote stinging denunciations of Saddams abuses of his people. There are no human rights in Iraq, he wrote in one of his reports during the 1990s. Saddams regime was branding an X on the forehead of deserters, amputating the hands of thieves and killing dissidents. Mr. Van der Stoel, who was 86 when he died April 23 of undisclosed causes at his home in The Hague, served a dual role for most of that decade as the human rights watchdog for Iraq and as the first High Commissioner on National Minorities at the 54-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. As a top OSCE official, he championed Roma, or Gypsies, who he said faced discrimination across Europe; mediated between combative Albanian and Macedonian communities; and sought to smooth tensions in the Baltic countries newly freed from the collapsed Soviet Union with their ethnic Russian minorities. Mr. Van der Stoel became conscious of human rights issues when as a teenager he watched the Nazi army occupy the Netherlands and strip its citizens of their freedoms. His socialism, he said in later years, derived from accompanying his father, a doctor, on visits to poor neighborhoods, where he found the social disparities embarrassing. His political career began shortly after the war in 1945 when he joined the Dutch Labor Party. He served twice as foreign minister in Labor governments in the 1970s and 80s, and was the Dutch ambassador to the United Nations for three years until 1986. Out of official office in 1989, he hosted brief secret talks between senior Israeli and Palestinian officials in The Hague, at a time when Israeli law forbade contacts with the Palestine Liberation Organization. He was appointed U.N. human rights representative for Iraq in 1991, and the next year made his only trip to that country. His report, which accused Iraq of brutally stifling political opposition, so angered Iraqi authorities that he was not permitted to return. His subsequent reports were based on a variety of sources, including Iraqi exiles and opposi-

tion groups. Iraq accused him of being a dishonest observer who obtained his information from U.S., British and Israeli sources in addition to traitors and agents. In his final report in March 1999, Mr. Van der Stoel accused Iraq of executing about 2,500 prison inmates as part of an Iraqi prison-cleansing campaign. Mr. Van der Stoel, who was divorced, had one son and four daughters.

Nawang Gombu
MOUNTAINEER
Sherpa mountaineer Nawang Gombu, the youngest on Sir Edmund Hillarys climbing team that first scaled Mount Everest in 1953, died on April 24 at his home in Darjeeling, India, at the foot of the Himalayas. He was 79. The cause was not reported. The first person to climb Everest twice, Mr. Gombu was considered one of the last of the socalled Tigers of the Snow a small group of Sherpa mountaineers who scaled the Himalayas to bring fame and prestige to their ethnic community that originates from the mountains of eastern Tibet and Nepal. Known for their hardiness, expert regional knowledge and unwillingness to leave any man behind, the Sherpa mountaineers formed the backbone of Indias Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and the trekking industry based in Darjeeling. Mr. Gombu was about 21 when he joined his uncle Tenzing Norgay and Hillary on the famous 1953 expedition, but he did not reach the top of the worlds highest mountain until 10 years later when he guided the first American expedition led by mountaineer Jim Whittaker to the summit. The 1963 expedition members were then invited to the White House, where Mr. Gombu placed a traditional white katha-style scarf around the neck of President John F. Kennedy. Mr. Gombu achieved fame two years later as the first to summit Everest twice, when he guided an Indian team to the top. He is also credited with pioneering dozens of new routes through the Himalayas and helping to open the region to tourists and trekkers seeking new and increasingly extreme climbing challenges. Born and raised in Tibet, he moved with his family to neighboring Nepal before finally settling in Darjeeling. He began working as a Mountaineering Institute instructor when the adventure school was set up in 1954 and later served as director of field training when his uncle retired. He and Norgay had been among the first Sherpas to complete a Swiss mountain guide course in 1954. Mr. Gombus received numerous Indian and international awards, including a Coronation Medal from Britains Queen Elizabeth II and a Hubbard Medal from the National Geographic Society for his climbing feats. Survivors include his wife Sita; five children; a sister; and nine grandchildren.

MARK GAIL/THE WASHINGTON POST

Patrick Mara, the only Republican seeking the D.C. Council seat, writes a note on a piece of campaign literature before leaving it at a home in Georgetown on Saturday. If he wins, Mara would be the sole Republican on the 13-member council.

featuring a picture of the candidate beneath the phrase: He walks like us. He talks likes us. He has a record of working for us. Despite relying on the same political base that elected Brown and Mayor Gray last year, Orange said he would act as a check on the mayors and the chairmans power. Orange, who was sometimes unpredictable when he served on the council from 1997 to 2007, says he will shake up the body. We definitely need a change, Kathy Miller, 55, said Saturday after she talked to Orange in Ward 8. I think Ill give him a shot. At least you know hes approachable. Orange, 54, has been able to position himself as an outsider in the race because Gray and Brown persuaded the D.C. Democratic State Committee in January to appoint Biddle as an interim council member pending the special election. A majority of council members, including Catania and Marion Barry (D-Ward 8), has endorsed Biddle. But Biddle has tried to distance himself from some highprofile backers as controversy mounted at the top levels of city government. Instead, he has promoted himself as the only candidate who would make schools a top priority. A former teacher and executive director of Jumpstart for Young Children, Biddle is a former school board member from Ward 4 and is closely aligned with the school reform movement. He has been making inroads with parents.

When he said schools, he sold me, Shelia Hester, 55, said at an Easter egg hunt at Lincoln Park in Capitol Hill. Biddle, 39, and Mara, 36, appear to be vying for many of the same types of voters, which could work in Oranges favor. After Biddle showed up at Ben Schaiblys house on Capitol Hill, the candidate persuaded the 57year-old landscape designer to support him instead of Mara. Ive heard the Sierra Club has endorsed Mr. Biddle, and that means something, Schaibly said. Im opposed to the old machine politics and didnt know [Biddle] was so young. Across town, Mara was working hard to win over potential Biddle voters in Georgetown. As Mara knocked on doors, resident Tom OHara told the candidate he probably would vote for Biddle because his daughter knew him. I can actually win, Mara shot back. Its between me and Mr. Orange. After a 10-minute conversation, OHara said he was undecided between Mara and Biddle. In neighborhoods closer to the citys center, Weaver and Lopez were battling over voters. While Orange, Mara and Biddle all oppose Grays plan to raise income taxes on the wealthy, Weaver, 43, and Lopez say the rich should pay more to offset major cuts to human service programs for the poor. Weaver is a longtime progressive activist who wants to make wholesale reforms to District government and puts a priority on urban planning and traditional liberal social causes. He has found support from the Districts newer residents. Lopez, who at 27 would be the youngest council member, has been waging a door-to-door campaign billing himself as a fresh face for the council. Its going to be about turnout, and if its low turnout, its going to be a race, said Lloyd Jordan, a lawyer and Democratic strategist who worked for Gray last year.

Eritrean man gains U.S. asylum after trek through 12 countries

asylum from B1 for the journey. U.S. security officials openly worry about the risk posed by porous international borders. While the majority of aliens smuggled into the U.S. probably do not pose a risk to national security, the problem is terrorists could exploit these smuggling travel networks, said James C. Spero, deputy assistant director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which enforces immigration laws. It is a major concern for us. to make it from there to Nicaragua. Without aid from smugglers, however, Tekle was arrested again. A $200 bribe secured his release, but the man he bribed kept Tekles South African passport. A new smuggler agreed to take Tekle and about 20 other African migrants to Nicaragua by boat. Two other smugglers met them and put them on a bus. Again, Tekle was arrested. This time, Nicaraguan officials had so many detainees on their hands that they turned Tekle and others over to the U.N. High Commission for Refugees. Shortly afterward, Tekle made a deal with a smuggler who hid him in the false bottom of a truck to take him through Honduras and into Guatemala. Guards stopped the truck four or five times at checkpoints, but the migrants were not detected. Tekle said there was so little air during the 18-hour journey that he almost suffocated. As he lay in the truck, feeling like he was going to die, he was consumed by doubt. I had so many regrets, Tekle said. I asked myself: Why did I do this? From Guatemala, smugglers led Tekle into Mexico on foot, where he surrendered to authorities. He was released with a warning to leave the country within 30 days a document that smugglers told Tekle he should obtain to prove to U.S. authorities that he had been in Mexico.

Leaving home
In retrospect, it was inevitable that Tekle would have to leave home after he confronted military officials at his school. That evening in September 2007, he was watching television at home in Asmara, Eritrea, when he heard banging on the gate outside. When his father opened the gate, two police officers rushed in and carted Tekle off in handcuffs to a police station. Who told you to ask questions about the government holding people for longer than 18 months of National Service? officials asked during his interrogation, according to an affidavit Tekle filed with U.S. immigration officials. Who do you know that has been sexually abused while at National Service? Officials at the Eritrean Embassy in Washington and at the Permanent Eritrean Mission to the United Nations did not respond to requests for comments about Tekles allegations of forced conscription and abuse by the Eritrean military. A State Department human rights report this month said forced conscription is common in Eritrea. Military leaders, who led the march to independence from Ethiopia in 1993, have never had elections and have suspended civil liberties on the grounds that the country is under threat. According to Tekle, the police officials who arrested him thought foreign agents had manipulated him to ask the questions. Tekle said he was detained for three months and beaten with a garden hose. Eventually, he and several other inmates were ordered transferred to the notorious Wia prison. When the truck carrying the prisoners broke down, two inmates leapt out and tried to escape. As guards pursued the escapees, Tekle said he and 10 others jumped out and ran in the opposite direction as guards fired at them. His family arranged for him to be smuggled into Sudan. But Tekle said he knew even then that this was only a first step. His goal was the United States. The smugglers, whom his parents hired for him, took Tekle through a long hike across open fields studded with sharp thorns. They marched at night

I was so scared, Yohannes Michael Tekle says of his long journey from Eritrea to the United States.

Making it to Baltimore
In May 2009, smugglers guided Tekle across the Rio Grande into McAllen, Tex. He was driven by car to a safe house in Houston and put on a bus to Baltimore. Tekle estimated his family spent $24,000 for bribes, smugglers and his living expenses during the nearly year and a half he was in transit. On April 4, Tekle and his attorney, Dzubow, successfully argued that the young man had a legitimate fear of persecution if he returned to Eritrea. Tekle was granted asylum and is working at a handbag and accessories stand at Mondawmin Mall in Baltimore. Immigration authorities said the networks that facilitated Tekles migration across three continents illustrates the difficulty of halting the flow of migrants. Spero, of the ICE, said some human trafficking is highly centralized, especially in Mexico, where smugglers often have ties to drug cartels. But in other countries, no single smuggler is responsible for an entire journey. The route itself is going to change, Spero said as he explained the challenge of shutting down routes. Tomorrow it could flip-flop countries and cut out four countries.

and slept during the day. At dark, they crossed the border one by one. Tekle said his parents, in Eritrea, asked a businessman they knew, who was traveling to Khartoum, the capital, to ferry money for more smugglers to get Tekle to Brazil a steppingstone to the United States well known to Eritrean migrants.

Documents and payments

Even early on, Tekles journey showed how smugglers form complex networks to move people across borders. Consular officials arranged documents in return for secret payments. A cafe owner in Khartoum held Tekles money for safekeeping and delivered it to a man whom Tekle knew only as Dawit, who arranged for Tekle to get a legitimate Eritrean passport. The smuggler then mailed the passport to South Africa, where he obtained a fake Brazilian visa and got Tekle a legitimate visa for Gambia. In July 2008, Tekle flew from Sudan to Gambia, stopping in Kenya and Senegal, and on to Brazil, arriving at the northeastern city of Fortaleza. Smugglers helped him board a bus south to Sao Paulo. Tekle said he stopped at Internet cafes during the trip to get advice on chat

rooms from other Eritreans who had made the grueling journey. He got names and numbers for smugglers in various countries and references about

reliability and cost. Tekle said his aunt in Baltimore wired him money. She declined to be interviewed for this article. A smuggler took Tekles Eritrean passport presumably to recycle it for another user and arranged a fake South African passport. But after a visit to the airport, Tekles Brazilian smuggler decided that it would be safer for Tekle to take a bus to Venezuela and to continue on to Colombia by bus. At the Colombian border, Tekle said, he and other migrants each bribed the border guards with $100. They were waved through. The payouts quickly escalated. In Colombia, a smuggler named John offered to use the South African passport to get Tekle through Bogotas airport immigration checks and then to Honduras. The bill: $3,500. Tekle balked and turned to another smuggler, who asked for $450 to get him into Panama. The journey took three days and included hikes and boat rides. But in Panama, Tekle was arrested. After weeks in detention, he was deported to Colombia to a refugee camp. Tekle decided to try another route. He traveled to San Andres, a Colombian island in the Caribbean Sea, hoping

Among liberals theres no euphoria, thats for sure, says Laughing Liberally co-founder Justin Krebs, 33, who wears a rumpled suit and sports a loose ponytail as he ushers the audience inside. The goal, he says, is to energize our base in the same way the tea party does for the right. The left really needs this. It allows us to vent.

Die Walkure, hollow at its high-tech core

new york Stage directors and opera

lovers often coexist in a state of enmity. The director wants to reinterpret; the audience wants to see the piece as the composer intended it. Robert Lepage, the Canadian stage director, offers a compromise with his pro-

duction of Wagners Ring that the Metropolitan Opera is unfolding piece by piece, at tremendous expense and with much fanfare, through next season. He focuses his high-tech concept on the staging and leaves the singers lots of room to do what they want. So why is his Ring, which continued Friday night with the premiere of the second of the four operas, Die Walkure, so far such a disappointment? Like Das Rheingold, which opened the Mets season in September, Die Walkure is centered on a set (by Carl Fillion) thats supposed to be a miracle of technical wizardry. Its a stage-filling unit made up of 24

bar elements, like giant piano keys, mounted on a central axis that enables them to rise and fall and rotate, transformed by projections now into a forest of silvery tree trunks (where Siegmund flees his pursuers), now into a rocky crag veined with molten lava (where the god Wotan and his wife, Fricka, argue about the laws of matrimony). At the start of the third act, eight of the bars stand in for the horses of the Valkyries, thrusting and bucking under the singers legs with downright phallic abandon. But the set feels monolithic and limiting. As Lepage uses it in Walkure, it imposes a

This Aint No Tea Party pours on the jokes

comedy from C1 Laughing Liberally is part of a national volunteer organization called Living Liberally, a social networking organization for like-minded progressives. It is best known for its offshoot, Drinking Liberally, a social club where progressives are invited to cry over a pint in bars and other venues while dishing on politics. Like many liberals during the George W. Bush years, I realized I needed a drink, Krebs says. He was not alone. Drinking Liberally grew to have chapters in 50 states. Laughing Liberally began as a scrappy activist comedy show that entertained liberal protesters and others at St. Pauls Ordway Center during the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minnesota. Justins father, Eric Krebs, a longtime theater producer, saw more in his sons project than street theater. The tea party movement gives Laughing Liberally more urgency than ever, says Eric Krebs, a curly-haired professor of theater at Baruch College in New York City. Conservatives in the early 1990s turned to talk radio as their main venue to hash out politics while liberals dominated fake comedy news shows on television, says Paul Lewis, a Boston College English professor and author of Cracking Up: American Humor in a Time of Conflict.

PARTY PUNCH LINES: The tea party movement gives Laughing Liberally more urgency than ever, said Eric Krebs, left, here with Aaron Schechter. Co-founded by Krebss son, Justin, Laughing Liberally emerged during the 2008 election season.

TEA TIME: Dean Obeidallah, a Palestinian Italian comic, performs in This Ain't No Tea Party. Some of the stand-up material in the off-Broadway show gets uneasy laughs, but the tea party jokes are a constant hit for the liberal crowd.

Republicans being branded racist or insensitive, says a former co-producer. One of the few right-leaning comics is Nick Di Paolo, who has written for Saturday Night Live. Di Paolo, who is socially liberal but economically conservative, has a one-hour special, Nick Di Paolo Raw Nerve, airing Saturday on Showtime, in which he takes swipes at favorite targets, such as President Obama and labor unions. But comedy has been liberal for so long, Di Paolo says. Theres a point of view that is so politically correct that the audience clams up and laughter is contagious. Indeed, the Laughing Liberally shows young comedians seem to be struggling with the mutable demands of political correctness: Which rules are funny to break and which arent?

With her heavy Upper West Side accent and frequent references to Zabars, comedianKatieHalperoftenstunstheaudienceby giving voice to the Palestinian plight as a Jewish liberal. Youve heard about the movie Miral opening, right? Halper asks the audience, referringtotherecentlyreleasedfilmabout an orphaned Palestinian girl who finds herself drawn into the conflict. Like we really need yet another movie that looks at the conflict from a Palestinian perspective? Way to shatter the stereotype that Hollywood is run by Palestinians. And Palestinian women, specifically, Halper exhales sarcastically. Because there are so many Palestinians running Hollywood. Some in the audience laugh. But some clearly experience what Halper, a Laughing

Liberally co-founder, calls the PEP Phenomenon, or Progressive Except on Palestine. Dean Obeidallah, a boyish-looking Palestinian Italian comic, sees Laughing Liberally as part of a rich American tradition in which performers such as Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce were able to raise sensitive issues such as race and sex. Obeidallah is also the co-creator of Comedy Centrals Internet series The Watch List, which features a cast of Middle Eastern American comedians. Dressed in jeans, sneakers and a hipster-pink plaid shirt, hes an angsty Arab Chris Rock. One of the benefits of having a Muslim name in the U.S. is that you are immune to identity theft, Obeidallah tells the audience. I have an Arab American friend whose first name is Osama he can leave

his drivers license and credit cards in a crack house and no one will pretend to be him. Many of the evenings laughs are uneasy, but a central premise soon emerges: When in doubt, make fun of the tea party. Comic Jamie Jackson flutters onstage in drag faux Chanel suit, mousy brown bouffant wig as Lady Margo Barnesly Farnsworth, a visiting Brit struggling to understand tea party politics. A friend patiently explains to her that guns dont actually kill people, and she launches into a bring-down-the-house ditty called Guns Dont Kill People. People Kill People. Its wonderful logic, isnt it? Lady Farnsworth croons. So, lets keep going. And the audience claps and sings along.

Disciple of Ella channels jazz greats swinging, scatting and charm

BY

M IKE J OYCE

Bless you, child. Keep singing. Such was the encouragement jazz vocalist Kim Nazarian received during a brief but unforgettable encounter with her idol, Ella Fitzgerald. Entire careers have been built on less. At Blues Alley on Saturday night, Nazarian was clearly thrilled to honor Fitzgerald and help celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month with the formidable support of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and guest saxophonist Phil Woods. Nazarians assignment, of course, was about as unenviable as they come, given Fitzgeralds nonpareil gift for swinging, scatting and exuding effervescent charm. But Nazarian held up her end of the bargain, displaying a voice powerful enough to pierce through blaring trumpets and agile enough to recall the seamless quality that made Fitzgeralds recordings with the late guitarist Joe Pass so compelling and intimate.

JOSH SISK FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

BIG VOICE: Kim Nazarian performed Saturday night with the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra at Blues Alley.

There were times, however, when classic arrangements devised by Billy May (Hooray for Love), Count Basie ( Deed I Do), Paul Weston (Cheek to Cheek) nearly stole the show. As always, the orchestra drew from a broad palette of bright and muted colors,

while several soloists, including pianist Tony Nalker and trumpeter Kenny Rittenhouse, added evocative touches. Guitarist Marty Ashby, in addition to quietly conjuring Passs elegant artistry, helped propel the swing passages with the kind of smoothly shifting,

low-string motion perfected by Basie band guitarist Freddie Green. Even before he stepped onstage, Woods, 79, was easy to spot in the packed house. Who else had earned the right to wear a ball cap embroidered with the title NEA Jazz Master? The reedman briefly accompanied Nazarian and the orchestra, adding lift to the customtailored finale, Oh, Lady Be Good. But his fluid, bop-bred alto was heard to best advantage during the big band performances of two original compositions that included a sleek, soulful and stirring rendition of Goodbye Mr. Evans. The orchestra has hosted numerous jazz greats over the years, but this performance, oddly enough, marked its first collaboration with Woods. Heres hoping hell be invited back to town soon to participate in a full concert that celebrates his long and distinguished career.

Flaws on display in Mets Die Walkure

opera review from C1 relentless symmetry on the stage picture that isnt that interesting to watch. Its also not very singerfriendly. At her entrance Friday, soprano Deborah Voigt, singing her first Met Brunnhilde, slipped and fell. After that, every time a singer ascended the curving construction, there was a certain nervousness about whether someone else might slide off. Another problem is that, because the set represents the most creative part of Lepages concept, we have a work of kinetic sculpture rather than a piece of theater. As much as some opera-goers may think of concept as a dirty word, the absence of one in this Walkure leaves the singers unsure about what theyre supposed to be doing. Its one thing to put on a concert performance of a Wagner opera with singers who have spent years with their roles as Washington National Opera demonstrated in November 2009 with its fantastic Gotterdammerung, starring Alan Held, Gidon Saks and Gordon Hawkins. Its quite another to create dramatic effect with singers who are newer to their parts Voigt as Brunnhilde or Bryn Terfel as Wotan without strong direction. This team had the raw material to do better. When Jonas Kaufmann, the heartthrob German tenor, and Eva-Maria Westbroek, the Dutch soprano making her company debut, made their entrances, it felt as if it would be a terrific evening. Kaufmann has a shining lyrical voice and the aura of a hero; Westbroek (who last sang the role of Anna Nicole Smith at Covent Garden) made some big, full, warm sounds that augured well. But Kaufmanns voice seems light for this repertoire; the effort involved in filling out the role and being heard led to a disappointing, interpretive sameness, emotionally and musically. And Westbroek became unsteady and patchy due, it turned out, to illness. In Act 2, Margaret Jane Wray stepped in to pinch-hit, respectably, as a Sieglinde with considerably more mettle in her voice. Voigt simply sounded miscast. Ive never been convinced that hers is a dramatic soprano, and she did nothing Friday night to change my mind. She hit the notes but offered none of the stature, vocal resonance or interpretation to make a distinctive Brunnhilde. Indeed, when she sang with the other eight Valkyries in Act 3 decked out in shiny, Halloween-silver lame costumes courtesy of Francois StAubin she blended in all too well with the crowd. (To their credit, the other Valkyries, starting with Kelly Cae Hogans Gerhilde, were very well sung.) As for Terfel, he showed that he has the goods to be a fine Wotan. Unfortunately, he didnt really show this until the very end of the opera, when he decreed in a voice that emanated from the heavens that only a hero without fear could win his daughter Brunnhilde. But for too much of the evening, he relied on stock gestures and stock sounds, often leaning on his spear as if relying on a crutch. Perhaps more than any of the singers, he might have benefited from a directors help in interpreting the complex role of a flawed god. One of the most moving episodes in Die Walkure comes when Wotan, obliged to witness Siegmunds death, reveals himself to his dying son. You couldnt miss it here because Wotan grabbed Siegmund and cradled him in his arms. The god then looks up at Hunding, Sieglindes husband who dealt the deathblow (played by the stentorian Hans-Peter Konig as a doughty villain from central casting), and dismisses him with the word Geh! (go), at which Hunding drops dead. Terfel veritably telegraphed the moment by holding out the word in a kind of strangled yodel. It was one of many illustrations of how the requisite elements of an operas plot can be represented accurately, yet without much dramatic insight or distinction. It isnt enough just to sing the notes and put on a spectacle; it takes more to bring a piece to life. Stephanie Blythes powerful Fricka, clearly sung and emoted and felt, showed how it should be done. Much of the rest of Fridays performance showed what was missing. Were dealing with space, Lepage said in an interview in the program. Maestro Levine deals with time. In short, it was up to James Levine to fill in the gaps that Lepages concept left. But even Levine couldnt quite do it. Despite his recent health difficulties, including back surgery that left him downright tottery when he took the stage for his curtain call, his conducting sounded articulate, energetic and communicative. But it was also sealed off in its own world, as if he were taking refuge in the pit from the productions lack of heart. The heart is, of course, in the music, and Levine kept finding it and bringing it out. But without singers who were able to bring it across, or a production that really represented the fruits of the kind of collaboration Levine excelled at in his heyday, his high points only added a sense of poignancy to a well-intentioned but ultimately hollow evening.

Mielke, however, is only part of the story. The author propels Bernie all across Europe to give us a panoramic look at life before, during and after historys most terrible war. In occupied Paris, he enjoys the brothels and five-star restaurants eagerly serving the German conquerors. Assigned to the Eastern Front, he witnesses endless slaughter before he is captured by the Soviets and sent to work in a uranium mine. There, it seems, he and other prisoners will die of radiation so that the Soviets can develop an atomic bomb. Throughout the novel, casual violence a woman killed by a bomb while visiting her mothers grave, for example unfolds alongside massacres that snuff out thousands of lives. A woman Bernie loves is among the many Berliners gang-raped by Russian soldiers at the end of the war. Atrocities toward Jews are beyond number. A Nazi general tells Bernie that he, the general, must keep killing Jews so he will be trusted enough to lead a plot to kill Hitler; its the kind of insane, Catch-22 logic that Joseph Hellers Yossarian would have understood. The great strength of the novel is Philip Kerrs overpowering portrait of the wars horrors. Its

perhaps inevitable weakness is that we sometimes lose our way amid the avalanche of carnage, suffering and duplicity. The glue holding it all together is Bernie, our battered, defiant German Everyman. People try to kill him, but hes too stubborn to die. Hes an angry man who comes to dislike the Americans almost as much as he hates the Nazis and the Bolsheviks. At one point, he bitterly tells his captors, Youre much worse than the Gestapo. They didnt pretend they were defending the free world. Bernies a-plague-onall-your-houses mind-set leads to the novels truly shocking ending, one that left me with no idea what lies ahead for him, only the devout hope that his story will continue. Sometimes I tire of novels about the Nazis. For lazy writers, Hitler and his minions are an easy symbol of evil, one they find more useful than jihadist terrorists, drug lords and serial killers. But Kerr resurrects the past to remind us that the fascist mentality endures, all over the world, even though swastikas and jackboots are no longer its outward trappings.

THEATER REVIEW

An energetic bunch: John Henry and George and Martha

BY

C ELIA W REN

Using only a hammer and his own prodigious strength, legend holds, the steel driver John Henry tunneled through a mountain faster than a steam-powered drill. Turns out that feat was small potatoes compared to the task of making his great-great-great-grandson, Johnny, care about anything but computer games. Or so holds The Day John Henry Came to School, Eric Pfeffingers adventurous, if slightly under-polished, new childrens comedy, which argues for the superiority of the real world over the virtual realm, and for the preeminence of human effort over that bells-andwhistles technology stuff. Recommended for ages 7 and up, the play is making its world premiere at Imagination Stage, which appears to have missed a major marketing opportunity by not arranging for cross-promotions with Amtrak and Michelle Obamas Lets Move! campaign. Janet Stanford directs John Henry, which kicks off with the image of smartphone and handheld-computer lights flickering over human faces on a darkened stage. This tableau captures the cyber-obsessions of young Johnny Henry (Nickolas Vaughan, acting suitably introverted), who is thrilled to bits make that bytes when he learns that his school is replacing his teacher Miss Gellert (Sandra L. Murphy) with a mainframe. Automated instruction will be more efficient, explains education bigwig Mr. Huntington (a drolly dictatorial Michael John Casey), whos not a fan of traditional elementary-school endeavors. The time wasted with finger-painting alone!hegripes.Allthatcleanup! For reasons that arent entirely clear, Johnnys classroom gets a surprise visit from his ancestor John Henry (Dereks Thomas, projecting brawniness and an apt amount of bewilderment). The folk hero galvanizes the kids with his

thrilling railroad-labor saga, with the result that Mr. Huntingtons Brave New World-style curriculum upgrade blows a circuit. (John Henrys tale is tragic as well as inspiring, of course: The steel driver famously died after racing the steam drill a fact that gets matter-of-fact mention here.) The first half of Pfeffingers script feels a little slack and uninspired, taking a relatively long time to establish Johnnys computer addiction, not to mention the American Idol-style singing aspirations of Johnnys classmate Jeanie (a chirpy Kate Guesman, in pink glitter sneakers). But the wit picks up once Mr. Huntington has started to demonstrate his computerized teaching scheme, which includes click-anddrag art lessons with digitized bits of Picasso paintings. (Videographer Erik Trester supplies the hilarious graphics, displayed on an onstage screen, framed by scenic designer Milagros Ponce de Leons WPA-style murals). Imagination Stage is presenting John Henry in repertory with another world premiere that, implicitly, celebrates human energy and bonds: the adorable new musical George & Martha: Tons of Fun, recommended for ages 3 and up. Composer, lyricist and book writer Joan Cushing (Miss Nelson Is Missing!, Petite Rouge: A Cajun Red Riding Hood, etc.) has drawn on James Marshalls books about companionable hippos to create a show that brims with sprightliness, gentle humor and touching reflections on friendship. Director Kathryn Chase Bryer brings buoyant rhythms to the production, which stars the pitch-perfect duo of Casey and Murphy as George and Martha, best buddies whose relationship occasionally hits a rough patch over a misunderstanding like Marthas penchant for serving George pea soup, which he secretly cant stand. Choreographer Scott Rink adds ebullience with his vaudeville-style movement for supporting charac-

ters Pig, Dog and Croc (Guesman, Thomas and Vaughan), and designer Debra Kim Sivigny cleverly balances human and critter characteristics in the costumes. (George and Martha wear human attire with ears, and Pig looks cherubic in a bubble-gum-pink dress). And, like the best childrens theater, George & Martha tosses in allusions that adult ticketholders will relish. At home alone, Martha reads Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? while George likes to paint a hobby he celebrates in a song that references van Gogh. Maybe, having shed his computer-game habit, young Johnny Henry will turn to pastimes that are equally circuit-board-free.

Shes about to leave, but he says hes not upset

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn: Im going through an application process that could be pretty life-changing, in a positive way. If Im successful, I would be moving away from my boyfriend. When I asked him a few weeks ago if he was upset about this, he told me no, because he knew we could work it out. He then proceeded to ignore the fact that anything was going on not offering support, asking questions, being excited for me, etc. When I confronted him, he finally admitted he cant get excited for something that will take me away. I feel angry and upset that hes unable to be excited for me, even if its not exactly what he wants. Now I feel reluctant even to bring it up. How to move past this? Or has this kind of been an eye-opening dealbreaker about the support Ill get from him in the future? NYC

CAROLYN HAX
Carolyn: I dont have a right to be upset that he left me on my own to deal with an incredibly stressful period in my life, after he TOLD me he wasnt upset? I feel like his behavior was passive-aggressive and cruel, but it sounds like you think Im way off base here? NYC again

He just got an eye-opening dealbreaker about the third-degree (plus smackdown) youre going to give him whenever his feelings dont align perfectly with your expectations. Hes upset that you might be leaving! He didnt tell you that outright, quite possibly because he didnt want to rain on your parade! You confronted the truth out of him, and then got angry at him for it! Cheez. How about: Im touched that youre upset. Your support is really important to me, though, so I hope what you initially said is still true, that we can work it out? Yes? No?

Youve also left him alone to deal with an incredibly stressful period in his life a fact you still dont acknowledge and your stress at least involves a positive change that you sought out. He faces the prospect of getting uprooted or left behind, changes he didnt seek. His assurances that he wasnt upset could have been his trying to rally for you, which is exactly what youre angry at him for not doing. By all means, tell him youre upset that he wasnt honest with you sooner about his reservations, or sympathetic to your suspense/stress; in fact, make it clear you have been stressed, since it doesnt sound as if you spelled that out for him. The only way to stay close through big changes is for both of you to be honest about your feelings . . . And, for both of you to want the best for each other. To that end, be sure you also admit without qualification that youve let him down, too. You havent been terribly (er, at all?) sensitive to his feelings; you want cheerleading and

handholding from the guy whos about to have his world upended, without offering him anything in return. In fact, your reaction to his true feelings might help explain why he put on a brave face to begin with. If you want people to be sympathetic to your plans and needs and feelings, then it couldnt hurt to acknowledge theirs.

Antiques Roadshow (WETA and MPT at 8 p.m.) wraps up in Billings, Mont., and examines lots of expensive jewelry, such as diamond and jade rings worth $60,000 from a 1925 collection, and a sword from 1843. The last seven Dancing With the Stars (ABC at 8) couples dance to their favorite guilty pleasure songs on performance night. Speaking of guilty pleasures, at least for people who deny they ever listened to boy bands, pop group Hanson appears on the show to sing its classic, MMMBop. National Geographic Channel re-airs photojournalist/ filmmaker Tim Hetheringtons documentary Restrepo (at 9), several days after the news that Hetherington was killed while covering combat in Libya. The documentary nominated for an Academy Award follows the deployment of U.S. troops, specifically a 15-man outpost, in Afghanistan. American Experience (WETA and MPT at 9) presents Stonewall Uprising, a documentary on the 1969 riot in

Great art doesnt come in snippets. If the late Martha Graham agreed with that statement, she might arch one carefully groomed eyebrow at the hodgepodge program her dance company presented on Friday at McLeans Alden Theatre. During the first half of this sold-out Essential Graham show, the solos, short tributes and awkward excerpts came rapid-fire: seven in less than an hour. Blink and you missed Lamentation. Between works, Artistic Director Janet Eilber stepped to a mike at stage right and provided commentary. This worked best after intermission, when Eilber walked viewers through a suite from Appalachian Spring (1944) by reading from letters the choreographer exchanged with composer Aaron Copland. Likewise, a duet from Robert Wilsons Snow on the Mesa (1995) made more sense after Eilber explained that the excerpt was meant to represent Grahams mercurial relationship with dancer Erick Haw-

kins. This best-of show relies on the companys current crop of dancers getting into characters, and quickly. As the Graham figure in Snow, Xiaochuan Xie raises her right leg above her waist and holds it there for what seems like minutes. When she finally lowers that perfectly pointed foot, she slowly strokes the face, neck and chest of a kneeling Ben Shultz with her toes. In Spring, the flirtation is more ostentatious. Oliver Tobin brought cocky acrobatics to The Revivalist, and four company women were convincing as his ardent followers in puffed sleeves and bonnets. Not surprisingly, the strongest performance on the program was the only ensemble work performed in its entirety. Diversion of Angels (1948) is full of fan kicks, elegant skips and, as the title suggests, adoration of all things feminine. The piece may be 63 years old, but Grahams romantic ideals are timeless.

A family estrangement, unexplained

Dear Amy: Our immediate family includes an adult son, his wife and their young children. For reasons unknown to us, about a year ago our daughter-in-law decided to severely limit contact with our family. Our son has followed her lead. We have attempted to find the reason for this bewildering and hurtful behavior, but they are not forthcoming. We have accepted the fact that we cannot control their behavior, only our reaction to it. We are moving on, sadder but wiser. Our question involves our sons elderly grandmother. She keeps asking where my son and his family are, when will they be visiting her, why she doesnt see them anymore and if they are all right? We have assured her that they are fine just busy and that relieves her mind for a while. But she too seems hurt that our son is out of contact with her. We have told our son in phone and e-mail messages that his grandmother would love a phone call or visit. We feel we have done all we can and it is not our responsibility to remind a nearly 40year-old man to be considerate of someone with whom he previously enjoyed a warm, friendly relationship. Should we continue to try to reach him before its too late? Disappointed Parents

ASK AMY
too. Weve left him a couple of messages asking him to give you a call, but we cant really do much beyond that. This older family member might have some ideas or insight into this challenging situation. Ask for her advice. You dont mention where your son lives, but you should e-mail him and say youd like to visit. Keep it simple and low-pressure. Ask if you can treat the family to dinner. Ask if you can attend any event the kids might be participating in or take them on an outing. I agree with your stance not to take responsibility for your sons behavior, but I dont think youve done quite enough to try to determine why he is so isolated from your family.
Dear Amy: I recently left my job to accept a new position. I want to write a thank-you note to my previous employer. Im leaving on good terms, but Im afraid I will come across as desperate for glowing references in the future. Is this a thoughtful thing to do, or just tacky? Farewell

Its smart to keep in touch with former employers, and its nice to say thank you to people who have been kind, indulgent, patient and encouraging. If your sincere expression translates to a favorable recommendation in the future, then all the better.
Dear Amy: I know Im Right was miffed when he brought fine wine to a dinner party and the wine wasnt served with dinner. I disagree with your response and think the hostesss action was in poor taste. The hostess scooped the fine wine and, in return, served him her cheap swill. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book, and the hostess should be ashamed of herself. A host should always offer to serve the food or wine that has been brought by the guest. I bring my good wine to the party and leave it in the car. If the hostess is pouring fine wine, I will return to the car and bring in my wine to share, saying I forgot to bring it in. If swill is being served, I excuse myself. I have a wine opener in my car and fill my glass with my own stash, then return to the party. Touche

If you were a guest of mine, Id suggest you stay in your car.

If you have accepted this unhappy state of affairs, why are you lying to your sons grandmother about his behavior? It is okay to react honestly and say, Gran, Chas has been terrible about keeping in touch with us

It would not have occurred to me that your thank-you note would automatically translate to a preening request for a recommendation, so why would it occur to your recipient?

onarch butterflies are considered by many to be the most beautiful of all butterflies. They got their royal-sounding name because of their regal appearance and the way they rule the skies from Canada to Mexico with their long migrations. But for the kids at the Friends Community School in College Park, the appeal of these majestic creatures is much more personal. We raise them at my school, said 11-year-old Starling Wolfrum of Berwyn Heights, a fifth-grader at the school. Starlings school and 19 others in the area are teaming with two Mexican schools to raise the unforgettable yellow, orange and black-striped monarch butterfly. At their schools, the kids planted a weed called milkweed the only place monarchs will lay their eggs. After butterflies emerged, they put little identification stickers on the wings of the young butterflies. Monarch butterflies fly north and south during the year in search of milkweed. Mexican summers are too hot for the plant, while our winters are too cold. The butterflies that Starling and the other schools raised and released last November flew more than 2,000 miles to the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-protected forest in Mexico that is bigger than all of Washington, D.C. After reaching Mexico, the Friends Community Schools seven tagged butterflies laid eggs and then died. When their eggs became caterpillars and then butterflies, Mexican kids in the program tagged their wings. Now that warm weather is returning to Washington, the Mexican butterflies are flying here, some of them perhaps heading straight to Starlings school and its small patch of milkweed. I dont know how they do that, she

said in amazement. Nobody does, really, said Bill Dent, a Temple Hills native who heads the Monarch Sister Schools Program, which began in 2008. The monarchs fly right to the milkweed where their parents or grandparents were born, thousands and thousands of miles away. Some scientists think its memory, others dont know, but it happens every year. In March, Dent went to Mexico to set up Internet service and deliver computers so that the Mexican kids can Skype with Starling and other students in the sister schools. The Mexican kids study English, and Starling and her friends study Spanish, and now theyll be able to talk and see the monarch butterflies theyre raising and protecting thousands of miles away, Dent said. Thats important, because illegal

logging is destroying the monarchs forests in Mexico, and in the United States, milkweed habitat is vanishing because of urban sprawl and the use of herbicides on farmlands, Dent said. It isnt just the sister-school kids who can help save these beautiful creatures, said Dent. Anyone who plants milkweed in their yard can have monarch butterflies. Raymond M. Lane

It follows that from now until perhaps the MIKE middle of June this continues to be about Michal Neuvirth, how long he can play so brilliantly in front of the net.

LeBron James just couldnt keep quiet during a negotiating session between the NBA players and team owners early in 2010. As the owners discussed their latest proposal to the two dozen or so players who showed up to the meeting in Dallas, James spoke up, two people who were in the room recalled. You just want to turn us into the NFL! James said. NBA officials were quick to respond. Yeah, we do, one league official said, according to those in the room. Its the most successful sports league in the history of the world. And therein lies the crux of the latest labor dispute between NBA players and owners, which could erupt into the second U.S. professional sports work stoppage of the year if the two sides cannot reach agreement by July 1 just a couple of weeks after a new league champion is crowned. NBA Commissioner David Stern said on April 15 that ownership would deliver a new proposal to the players union the first from either side in nearly a year when the sides next meet, which could be as early as this week. Sources familiar with the owners thinking say they arent willing to make labor continued on D5

t isnt much that the New York Yankees are asking of newcomer Russell Martin. Just man the position of Yogi Berra, Elston Howard, Thurman Munson and Jorge Posada. Just steer a piecemeal pitching staff, full of all-stars, reclamation projects and talented underachievers, through a murderous early-season schedule in which all but three games so far have been against teams that finished .500 or better in 2010.

Oh, and were also going to need you to hit like Johnny Bench, to compensate for all the slumping regulars fighting to stay above the Mendoza Line in the cool, damp slog of April. Thanks largely to Martins ability to answer those calls from on high, the Yankees find themselves in a familiar spot holding down first place in the American League East but having taken a strange route to get there. Through their first 16 games, the Yankees had gotten zero wins out of ace CC Sabathia, who finally won Saturday night. They had gotten a .185 batting average and .254 on-base percentage

out of the leadoff spot (where Derek Jeter and Brett Gardner have split time), and a .200 batting average out of the DH spot (mostly Posada). Phil Hughes, their No. 3 starter, is on the disabled list with a dead arm. Rafael Soriano, their $35 million setup man, has a 6.48 ERA. That the Yankees have not only survived these early-season issues, but are enjoying a healthy run in first place, is largely due to the efforts of a quartet of veteran newcomers, all of them former stars who suffered declines of varying degrees yankees continued on D7

Morse earned the Washington Nationals starting left field position, an elusive opportunity he had longed for his entire career, the chance he had spent a decade chasing as he hopped around three organizations. Then the season began. Thirty at-bats into his first year as a major league regular, stuck on four hits, Morse had only made an argument for why it took so long. Even then, Morse changed nothing. He had believed for years he deserved to

be an everyday player, and two weeks wouldnt change that. Thats one thing that I wont lose, Morse said. Confidence for myself. Since his rough start, Morse has replicated one of the hot streaks that catapulted him into the starting lineup in the first place, culminating with a performance Sunday that lifted the Nationals to a 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates before 9,520 at PNC Park. Morse went 3 for 4 with his first home run of the season, a three-run blast in the third inning that helped give Jason Marquis his second win and sent the Nationals back to .500 on the season. The Nationals provided at least a momentary break from their offensive stagnancy, piling up a season-high 15 hits and scoring more runs than they had in their three previous games combined. nationals continued on D7

Michael Morse, who hammered nine homers in spring training to earn a starting job, is greeted after belting his first home run of the season for Washington.

More Than a Game

L.A. doesnt need an NFL team, so why a new stadium?

s part of my acclaimed No More Stadiums, With or Without Tax Subsidies Tour, let me explain the current situation in my current home of Los Angeles: The Stadium Fairy apparently is going to drop a $1 billion building on downtown L.A. To which I would tell the city lords, for the umpteenth time: We dont need a new stadium. We dont need an NFL team. We do need more left-turn signals. But someone in town mustve just seen Field of Dreams for the first time and said, Hey, if we build it, the NFL will come. To which I would tell the city lords, for the umpteenth time: Nobody around here is going to sleep every night, thinking, Woe is us without a professional football franchise. Not as long as its 72 degrees with sunny skies, and our cable and satellite systems pick up NFL games every weekend. Yet billionaire Philip Anschutzs mega Anschutz Entertainment Group is trying to persuade the city to let it build a downtown stadium to lure the NFL back to town and heres the too-good-to-be-true catch at absolutely no cost to taxpayers. It will not cost taxpayers a dime, said L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The citys never going to have to pay a penny and were going to guarantee it, said AEG chief Tim Leiweke. Wow. Next thing you know, AEG will foot the bill for my next honeymoon and throw in some Were No. 1 foam fingers. Leiweke pronounced LIEwick-ee, I believe is the modern-day Music Man. If hes selling you band instruments, youd better make sure you have a band. No cost to taxpayers? For starters, AEG wants a special exemption from the states environmental quality act. Okay, California is $26 billion in the hole we dont even have a budget in place this year and were already spending legislative time and money to roll out the red carpet for a billionaire investor. Further, for this stadium deal, AEG wants to lease prime downtown property for $1 a year. Uh, wouldnt that fall under the umbrella of unrealized municipal revenue? (Note: I made up that term it sounds very authoritative.) Finally, the city would lease land to AEG and float a $350 million bond to tear down part of L.A. Convention Center and rebuild it as part of the new stadium. I now turn over the column briefly to L.A. City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who, according to the Los Angeles Times, recently posed a couple of questions about this $350 million bond: How is it possible to contend that no public money will be used while at the same time ask the city to sell bonds? Since taxes on tickets normally would flow into the general fund to help pay for services such as police officers, wouldnt the use of ticket taxes to pay off the bonds be defined as a public subsidy?

Views on high school sports from photographer Toni L. Sandys

Anschutz Entertainment Group chief Tim Leiweke says Los Angeles wont have to pay a penny under its stadium plan.

Of course, these questions generally are minor annoyances to AEG, which already got millions in tax breaks for two hotels at its downtown L.A. Live project. (I invite out-of-towners to take in L.A. Live on your next trip. Its another only-in-L.A. signature: Create an artificial urban environment because there is a no real urban environment here. L.A. Live essentially is a sound stage its a fake city inside of a fake city.) But, subsidies aside, the question remains if America should continue on this course of manifest stadium destiny. AEG just wants to drop this monstrosity on downtown. You know what should be downtown? A downtown a living, breathing, working space where people live, breathe and work; not some massive structure that sucks the air out of the region most days and nights. Heres another question for America: Cant we start building libraries instead of stadiums? Isnt that a better investment in our future? Do you know how many library shelves you could line with how many books for a billion dollars? And heres a 2008 book Id start with Field of Schemes: How the Great Stadium Swindle Turns Public Money into Private Profit, by Neil deMause and Joanna Cagan. Its a pretty good read, and I guarantee you it will save the city money.

Reservoir freshman Paul Quattrone, 15, had already started his day with a threehour practice, but it wasnt enough. Not for him, anyway. I like to get a little bit extra, said Quattrone. In practice, everybody has to hit and we have 18 kids on the team. We have to do that plus fielding, so I just like a little bit extra. With his sights set on playing Division I baseball in college, Quattrone puts in extra work year-round. A three-sport athlete, Quattrone makes time for the batting cages even during football and wrestling season. I dont want to not hit at all and then when baseball time comes Im just not ready. In the summer, Quattrone plays club baseball, attends camps and gets instruction from a professional hitting coach. At least three times a week, Quattrone works out at one of the batting

cages near his house. The weather often determines where he goes. Last Tuesday, with a break in the rain and warm temperatures, Quattrone and his dad, also named Paul Quattrone, headed to the cages at Rocky Gorge 4 Seasons Golf Fairway in Laurel. Ive had him out here at these very cages since he was 5 years old, the elder Quattrone said. We started at the slower cages when he was young. As young Paul feeds quarters into the machine, his dad sits on the bleachers and watches from behind. I give him stacks of quarters and he just goes till they run out. Quattrone pushes himself to the edge. If hes working in a cage with an adjustable speed machine, hell start out slow and then increase the speed after he warms up. Then he slows it back down again. It gets me used to off-speed pitches, curveballs and

change-ups. Just like a real game. With every swing he thinks about what his professional coach has taught him. Trying to put every lesson into practice. He feeds quarter after quarter until he notices the slump in his swing. I usually just keep going until Im pretty tired, Quattrone said. I dont want to keep hitting [after that] because it will mess up my fundamentals. First and foremost, our business is baseball, the elder Quattrone sid. Im not a professional coach, but I can point things out about his swing. While they work through the mechanics of hitting, the Quattrones also talk about things. We talk about school. I talk to him about things I think he should know. He and I just come out, and it allows me to spend some time with him. If either of them feel the youngster is in a slump, the three days become five. Maybe even seven. Neither of them complain. I love baseball, said the elder Quattrone. To me, theres no better game. I was born to it and I love it and I wanted him to love it. I just want to get good, Quattrone said with a smile.

Bolton delivers a crushing blow to Arsenal

Arsenals slim hopes of winning the English Premier League were virtually extinguished Sunday on a last-minute goal by Bolton substitute Tamir Cohen in a 2-1 loss. The Israeli midfielder, who came on in the 85th minute, glanced in a near-post header from a corner kick to leave thirdplace Arsenal nine points adrift of league leader Manchester United with four matches remaining. Of course the chances are very minimal now, Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger said. Netherlands striker Robin van Persie, who scored in a seventh straight away game in the Premier League, had brought the Gunners back in the 47th minute after Boltons prolific forward Daniel Sturridge broke the deadlock from close range seven minutes before halftime. Arsenal without a trophy in six years is now struggling to finish second with Chelsea three points clear. It was the Gunners first defeat in 17 league games. Its hard to lose a game like that. Its hard to swallow but we gave everything, Wenger said. We had the chances to win it. United, which beat Everton, 1-0. on Saturday, is at Arsenal on May 1, then hosts reigning champion Chelsea on May 8 in titledefining matches. Chelsea defeated West Ham, 3-0, on Saturday. . . . Reigning MLS MVP David Ferreira of FC Dallas has a double fracture in his right ankle. The Colombian midfielder was injured on a hard tackle by Vancouver Whitecaps defender Jonny Leathers in FC Dallass 2-1 road win Saturday. Ferreira was taken off the field on a stretcher and the team said surgery would be scheduled after Ferreira saw doctors back in Dallas. Ferreira, who had eight goals and 13 assists in 2010 for the Western Conference champs, leads the team with three goals and an assist through six games this season. . . .

Snedekers rally keeps Donald from a win and No. 1 ranking

A SSOCIATED P RESS Brandt Snedeker rallied from six shots behind and beat Luke Donald in a playoff in the Heritage in Hilton Head Island, S.C. to deny the Englishman the No. 1 ranking on Sunday. Donald would have risen to the top spot in the world from No. 3 had he won. His countryman, Lee Westwood, moved from No. 2 to No. 1, replacing Martin Kaymer, after winning the Indonesian Masters earlier Sunday. Donald had saved par from difficult spots on the 71st and 72nd holes to force the playoff, then did it again on the second extra hole. But his luck ran out on Harbour Town Golf Links closing lighthouse hole, No. 18, when he got a partially buried lie in a front bunker. Donald blasted out about 15 feet from the flag and his chip for par from just off the green hit the back edge of the cup and bounced away, giving Snedeker his second career PGA Tour title. He also won the 2007 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. Snedeker finished with a 7-under-par 64 to match Donald at 12 under. Donald shot his second straight 70. Tommy Gainey finished a stroke back after a 68.  CHAMPIONS TOUR: David Eger and Mark McNulty won the better-ball Legends of Golf when Kenny Perry and Scott Hoch missed short par putts on the second hole of a playoff. Eger and McNulty closed with an 11-under-par 61 to match Perry and Hoch (64) at 27 under at The Club at Savannah (Ga.) Harbor. The teams of Wayne Levi-Keith Fergus (66), Russ Cochran-Mark Weibe (60), David Frost-Michael Allen (62), Corey Pavin-Tom Lehman (64) and Ian Baker-Finch-Joe Ozaki (64) tied for third at 26 under.  ASIAN TOUR: Lee Westwood won the Indonesian Masters in Jakarta after waiting out a lightning delay on the final hole. Westwood finished off a 3-under 69 for a three-stroke victory over Thailands Thongchai Jaidee. The English star won on his 38th birthday.  EUROPEAN TOUR: Belgiums Nicolas Colsaerts won the China Open, closing with his second straight 6-under 66 for a tournament-record 24-under 264 total. Spains Pablo Martin (63), Irelands Peter Lawrie (68), Denmarks Soren Kjeldsen (66) and New Zealands Danny Lee (65) tied for second at 20 under on the Luxehills International course in Chengdu.

Ville Leino scored 4:43 into overtime and Brian Bouchers return in yet another relief appearance sparked Philadelphia to force Game 7 in its first-round playoff series against Buffalo. Danny Briere scored twice and Boucher stopped 24 shots over the final two periods and overtime in what has been a tightly contested and topsy-turvy series that heads to the deciding game at Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The pupil learns well from the teacher

wise from D1 madhouse with San Jose, as the Sharks knocked off the topseeded Detroit Red Wings in 1994 and took an entire region of new and uneducated hockey fans on a memorable ride. See, before there was Neuvy there was Archie. And now a 44-year-old who came close to winning the Stanley Cup in Carolina can impart his hope, strength and experience on a kid he has no problem living vicariously through. Yes, there are some similarities there, because obviously hes the newcomer into this, Irbe said. Its not like hes played for many years and many series. Neither had Irbe, who was a late bloomer at 27 years old then. But he was so unflappable and consistent in goal that postseason, stoning the Red Wings, one of the most talented offensive juggernauts in NHL history, and almost shutting down the Maple Leafs in the Western Conference semifinals before the Sharks bowed out in seven games. Like Neuvirth, Irbe was a clinician in net less worried about making the spectacular save and more concerned with not putting himself in position to be taken advantage of on power plays and in the crucible of an overtime game. Along with smothering the puck, that kind of responsible goaltending is what Irbe works on with Neuvy today. When things are not happening for him, he dont get rattled, he always find a way, Irbe said. His human nature is very well suited to play goaltender. Hes not a gambler you can see guys who take a gamble; he dont. Hes a patient guy who will wait for right solution and right things to happen. Irbe has helped Neuvirth continue to develop his efficiency almost an economy of movement in front of the net, where Neuvirth doesnt overchallenge the opponent whistling toward him at warp speed with the puck. He doesnt hurt his chances of making the second save because of putting himself in a bad position, Irbe said. When you play that way, you instill a calmness in your teammates. A high level of efficiency also allows you to play four, five, six periods straight. If youre not stressed or fatigued, you make fewer mistakes. What the way Neuvy plays does is it doesnt wear the athlete out. Moreover, it makes people like Rangers Coach John Tortorella resort to putting in an agitator like Sean Avery. If you play like that, the opposition can get, if not frustrated, they can get puzzled, Irbe said. How do I beat this guy? How do I score on him? The term freezing the puck is used when a goaltender covers up every time he snags a puck in his vicinity. Its meant to kill an attacking teams momentum, make them reset instead of swinging wildly in front of the goal like a frenzied pack of dogs that smell blood. Its not always exciting hockey, but its winning hockey the kind Neuvirth employed in Game 5 when the Rangers were getting desperate. Its a type of goaltending that involves slowing the game down, Irbe said. If you can smother one or two shots, they will stop shooting, give away their chances, cycle or search for something better. From goalies perspective, every shot not taken is possibly goal not scored. One of Irbe's most famous quotes in 1994 came when someone asked Irbe how he played so well in his first NHL postseason. I was like wall, he said, and soon signs around San Jose Arena read, Like Wall, and a cult hero was born. And Neuvy? Its hard to talk about it. Why? One series does not make a playoff. Irbe fell off the elite-goalie map several years after San Jose before a rebirth in Carolina in 2001-02, the year his remarkable play led the Hurricanes to the Stanley Cup finals. He kept playing till 2004 when he finally realized, Its time for next generation. Very funny when I was just finishing career, he said. I was talking to young guy back home in Latvia. Holy smokes, I said. If I had your youth and body, not all beaten up like mine, and I could give you my knowledge and experience, what a great combination we would have. Less than two years later, Arturs Irbe came into Michal Neuvirths world and started to make that player a goalie undaunted by a chanting arena on the road, impervious to pressure in overtime, as efficient as he is excellent. Like wall.

Late Saturday Nathan Horton scored at 9:03 of the second overtime to give Boston a win over Montreal and a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. Montreal G Carey Price stopped Andrew Ferences wrist shot from 30 feet but couldnt control the rebound. Horton then put his second goal of the playoffs into the open right side of the net. It was the Bruins second overtime win in three days, including a 5-4 victory Thursday night. It was the first win by the home team in the series. The Bruins, who have won three straight games, can end the series in Game 6 Tuesday night in Montreal.

Sports agent Joby Branion, in black collar shirt, joins Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller, foreground, and members of Millers family in New York, where this week Miller is expected to be a top draft pick.

Branions past helps frame his clients futures

branion from D1 players are locked out, so are their agents. I dont know if many people have a lot of empathy for an agent or an agency, but were not all evil people, Branion says. This is a business, and everyone who works for us, their livelihoods are directly tied to us doing our job. We cant collect fees if our clients dont get paid. For Miller, a highly touted linebacker from Texas A&M, this marks his first trip to New York, and he spends much of his time walking the streets with his neck craned toward the sky. Branion, 48, has taken him all over the city: Central Park, dinner at Carmines, appointments with stylists and suit designers, and this meeting in the office of Vernon Brown, who heads the financial services firm. Miller listens intently, and Branion occasionally interjects to make sure his client fully digests everything Brown tells him. Branion, whose stocky, 6-footplus frame still hints at his own football playing days, is protective of his players. He survived a traumatic childhood, his own obstacles stripped from the pages of a dime-store murder-mystery novel. He aims to usher his clients not just into the world of pro football, but into adulthood. Theres a natural paternalistic component to me, Branion says, a natural desire to want to help people.

About this series

The NFL work stoppage is affecting the lives of thousands of people whose careers are intertwined in one way or another with the countrys most popular sport. This series tells the stories of some of those people. For previous parts of the series, go to postsports.com.

says. My contribution to society felt minimal. It was like a slow personal death, like my soul was being sapped. So he left law, eventually jumping to Athletes First, where hes carved out an important role with one of the sports top agencies.

Questions, questions
Millers father sits next to him for the entire meeting in Browns office, but its the player who asks most of the questions. So if I get $20 million, Miller says, Ill pay half in taxes, give or take. But then I can take that half that I actually get and put it into an account where Im earning five percent, right? Exactly, Brown says. Youre thinking logically. Miller comes from a comfortable, middle-class background. Because the NFL wont pay him a dime for several months, the lockout hasnt prompted much of a lifestyle change. Like many draft prospects, much of his expenses are paid for by his agent. At Branions office, a memo circulated recently, reminding Athletes First employees that they arent operating in normal working conditions. With most revenue delayed until free agency can begin and rookies can sign contracts, Athletes First is carefully tracking each dollar it spends. We have to be more pragmatic as a company, Branion says. We dont know how this will be resolved. Were hopeful that its resolved fairly soon and with as little pain as possible. Hes not worried when he says that. Hes been dealing with the unknown his entire life. While his childhood taught him to compartmentalize some emotions, it also gave him faith that things work out in the end. Seventeen years after he last saw his his father, Branion was 25 years old when he drove to an Illinois prison. I kept thinking that I should turn the car around, he says. Inside the prison walls, when John Marshall Branion turned the corner, he was much smaller than his son remembered. His hands, though, were still big and powerful. I didnt realize how big a hole I had in my life, Branion says. Branion began studying his fathers case closely. There was a new appeal in the works and a new set of lawyers. They began their investigation from scratch and revealed shoddy casework, suspect practices by the original judge and evidence that showed Branion didnt have time that day two decades earlier to leave the hospital, pick up Joby, visit a friend and kill his wife according to the prosecutions time line. The appeal for his release was denied in federal court. In 1990, Gov. James Thompson commuted his sentence, citing the prisoners failing health. Suffering from a heart condition and a brain tumor, John Marshall Branion died one month later. He was 64. He loved me, his son says. To this day, I can feel the love that he felt for me. And I make it a point to tell my kids every day how much I love them. Thats something I learned from him.

Money talks
The agent business revolves around money, first and foremost. Without free agency and with no bonuses paid since NFL owners locked out their players March 4, agencies like Branions have had little cash flow, while accumulating heavy expenses. They get ready for the draft by pouring money into prepping prospects, not knowing when theyll see a return. Branion works for Athletes First, and he and his company are banking big on this years draft. Athletes First represents 15 prospects, and Branion is primarily responsible for Miller, who is engaging and talented, and also happens to be one of the 10 plaintiffs in the players class-action lawsuit against the NFL. In the spacious offices of V. Brown & Co., Inc., with modern art on the walls and prospective clients seated around a round table, Brown jumps into his sales pitch. One thing our clients have in common, whether its models, musicians or athletes, theyre all fairly young, Brown tells Miller.

They also all have the opportunity and abilities to earn tens of millions of dollars. And finally, the time of earning potential tends to be shorter. If the Buffalo Bills select Miller with the No. 3 pick, as many suspect they will, the 22-year-old linebacker stands to earn millions. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, last years third pick, signed a $63 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Branion and Athletes First also stand to collect big; the agent and his firm collect 3 percent of each clients playing contract though only after the lockout ends. To manage his pending wealth, Branion has encouraged Miller to seek advisers who are independent of each other. But his agency is a full-service operation, and his other clients say Branion delivers a level of personal attention thats difficult to put in a job description. Running back Ahman Green has been with him his entire 12-year pro football career. He recalls an early incident when a woman accused him of domestic violence. The charge was dropped, but Green had to spend a night in jail following his arrest. I dont know how he got there, but the next day, he was the first person I saw, the first person I hugged, Green says. Joby was there before any family or friend. He didnt have to do that but he did. To be a good agent, youve got to have that quality. You cant just look at your client as somebody whos going to fill your pockets. You got to see them as a person

because theyre gonna be like family. Branion has a wife and four children in Chapel Hill, N.C., but he spent a lifetime trying to understand what the idea of family meant.

A troubled past
He never knew his birth parents. He was adopted as a baby by John Marshall Branion, a doctor who cared for Martin Luther King Jr., and was active in the civil rights movement, and Donna Branion, who came from one of Chicagos most influential black families. On the morning of Dec. 22, 1967, John Branion picked up Joby from child care and returned home, where, he told police, he found his wife lying on the floor of a utility room, blood pouring from 13 fresh bullet holes. Police investigated several theories, before settling on one suspect. Joby was 4 years old when his father was arrested for murdering his mother. Though prosecution lacked a weapon, a witness or forensic evidence, it successfully argued that John Branion was guilty of killing Jobys mother. Facing a 20to 30-year sentence, Branion obtained a falsified passport and fled the country in 1971. Joby was 8 years old when his father left. Living in Wareham, Mass., he settled into a routine. But life was never normal. I remember the FBI stopping me on the way to school, he says. Have you seen your father? Whens the last time you talked with him? Raised by a stepmother the elder Branion had remarried before fleeing he found male role models in coaches, teachers, family friends and friends families. Honestly, I felt like football became my father, Branion says. He attended Tabor Academy, an elite prep school, and thrived on the football field. At home, though, his relationship with his stepmother deteriorated, and by time Branion graduated he had moved in with his godparents. He just couldnt understand it, says Mike Silipo, Branions high school coach. He was doing everything he could possibly do to make a parent proud, and he

wasnt getting it back. It just boggled his mind. Meanwhile, John Marshall Branion bounced around two continents. Trying to stay a step head of authorities, he filled his passport with stamps from Tanzania, Brazil, Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, Zambia, Ivory Coast and Botswana. He thought hed found refuge in Uganda, but officials there eventually turned him over U.S. authorities. In November 1983, 15 years after the murder of his wife, Branion was back in Chicago Criminal Court, where he was ordered to serve his sentence. News that his father was back in the States was not easy for the younger Branion to process. I had no idea whether he was innocent or not, he says. Nobody ever talked with me about it. I didnt know. But I wanted to know. You have to remember, he was accused of murdering my mother. If he did it, I wanted to know.

one year to nine months and the second was tossed out on appeal. The successes, though, have been numerous. Athletes First has represented more than 100 athletes -- NFL stars such as Carson Palmer, Matt Schaub and Ray Lewis -- and negotiated more than 200 contracts. The firm represented 14 picks in last years draft, more than any other agency. In January, Branion was again in the Millers home. Theyd narrowed their list of potential agents to four. And then two. And finally one. One day after they signed a contract, Branion returned to pick up Miller and take him to California to begin training. For the elder Miller, it was bittersweet. I knew there was a lot of pressure and my protection was going away, he says. Joby had him now and I didnt. Before he left, I talked to Joby and he told me, Ill be with him. Dont worry.

Lockout looms over all

Branion warned Miller when he chose to return to Texas A&M for a final year that a lockout could loom over his rookie season. Miller has since positioned himself as one of the faces of the divisive issue. Two days before his meeting in New York, he sat in a Minnesota courtroom as one of the 10 plaintiffs in the players suit against the league. The other nine plaintiffs are NFL veterans. Branion told him that teams would be foolish to pass on his talents because of his involvement in the case. But he also warned Miller that hed have to answer questions about it. Sure enough, as Miller makes his predraft visits with teams, the question has continually come up: Why are you suing the NFL? I love this game, he tells them, and I just want to play football. Branion understands that passion. He attended Duke on a football scholarship. He wasnt drafted but signed a contract with the Washington Redskins in 1985. When Coach Joe Gibbs cut him on the final day of training camp, Branion packed his belongings into his Chrysler LeBaron and drove aimlessly for a week. Id heard my whole life, you cant count on football. Well, that was against everything Id experienced from age 8 to 22. The one thing that I always could count on was football, he says. And it was gone. Branion never set out to become an agent. He was 33 years old working as a corporate lawyer when a friend told him about an opportunity with Lee Steinbergs booming agency. Law paid well, but there was very little in terms of reward, he

Smart financial planning

For a penny-counting accountant, theres at least one constant when it comes to pro football players: Spending increases during idle time. Financially, we see the numbers change, Brown tells Miller. Just like a bye week. If you plot an athletes expense, you can just look at the numbers and you can spot the bye weeks. So, this lockout scenario could really impact players who arent being smart with their money. Branion has advised his clients to do the same, and hed preached smart financial planning with Miller since the day they met. Back then, dozens of agents were trying to sign Miller. His father, Von Sr., spoke with them all and treated each the same. We werent trying to make friends, said Miller Sr., who runs his own power-supply business in Dallas. We always had our guard up, never let it down. Hed heard stories about the seedy side of agents. Its a cutthroat business where one never knows what lies behind a smile. Branions past, too, has black marks. He has twice been suspended for accusations of stealing clients. One was reduced from

philadelphia The sweep for the Heat was 95 seconds away. Miami held a six-point lead, had The Big Three on the court and a bevy of clutch plays behind them. All the 76ers had was their unwavering belief. When they told Doug Collins in the huddle late in the game, Were going back to Miami, his reply was a simple one. Ill be there with you, said Collins, the Sixers coach. Lou Williams proved the Sixers right, hitting the go-ahead three-pointer from the top of the arc over a lunging Dwyane Wade

with 8.1 seconds left that lifted Philadelphia to an 86-82 win over the Heat on Sunday and avoided a sweep. His three came 28 seconds after Jrue Holiday stunned Wade with a three that sliced the deficit to one. It was all part of a game-ending 10-0 run that sent nearly 20,000 fans into a frenzy and the Sixers on a surprise trip back to Florida. Game 5 is Wednesday in Miami. D-Wade gave me a little room and I was able to knock it down, Williams said. Weve always been a team that fought, all the way until the end. I just wanted to give us an opportunity to win the basketball game. Wades tip-in with 1 minutes 35 seconds left put the Heat up 82-76. Miami had followed the formula of its Game 1 and Game 3 wins. The Heat trailed by double-digits in the first quarter,

only to storm into the lead on the backs of Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh and take over down the stretch. The 76ers still may eventually lose this series. Just not Sunday. If you have faith, you have hope. And if you have hope, you have life, Collins said. The Sixers kept the resolve theyve had since they turned a 3-13 start into the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers staggered down the stretch and won for only the second time since April 2. Williamss celebration was muted. He simply turned around and calmly walked back to a delirious huddle as if he expected to swish the winner all along. That shot right there didnt beat us, Wade said.

Weve proven all year long that we were able to close those types of games out, Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra said. We were not able to tonight. Williams and Evan Turner led the Sixers with 17 points each. Andre Iguodala added 16 points, and Elton Brand had 15 points and 11 rebounds. James scored 31 points for the Heat and Wade had 22. Bosh scored 12 points and had two blocks late in the game that seemed to seal the win for the Heat.

Kevin Garnett had 26 points and 10 rebounds, Rajon Rondo added 21 points and 12 assists, and Boston swept its way into the Eastern Conference semifinals, holding on for a victory over New York. Ray Allen and reserve Glen Davis each added 14 points for the Celtics, the first team into the second round after sweeping a series for the first time since a 3-0 victory over Indiana in 1992, the last series victory for their old Big Three before Larry Bird retired. They had a 23-point lead cut to four in the fourth quarter, but pulled away again behind Garnett, who scored 20 after halftime. The current Big Three of Garnett, Allen and Paul Pierce twice was extended to seven games in the first round, but this one was far easier than expected against the injuryweakened Knicks. The Celtics could have a week off while they wait for likely second-round opponent Miami, which was forced to a fifth game after a late rally by Philadelphia. The Celtics almost faced the same scenario, but a Knicks comeback attempt stalled in the final minutes. Carmelo Anthony had 32 points and nine rebounds, and Amare Stoudemire, who decided to play after his back felt better, finished with 19 points and 12 boards but shot only 5 for 20 from the field. The Knicks shot 34 percent and were quickly dispatched in their first playoff appearance since 2004, when they were also swept in the first round. They havent won a playoff game in 10 years. The Knicks believed they could challenge Boston, but Chauncey Billups was lost for good after straining his left knee in Game 1.

NBA players, owners remain far apart

labor from D1 major concessions as they seek to reshape their league using principles employed by the NFL, a $9 billion a year industry that dominates the U.S. sports landscape in fan interest and revenue generation. Philosophically, the NBA owners and players seem to be at opposite ends of the court. Depending on ones perspective, the NFL offers either the ideal blueprint to develop a robust sports business or an oppressive financial system for players. Owners seem prepared to follow the lead of NFLs ownership which locked its players out in mid-March if the players wont accept at least some elements of a revamped, not merely smoothed out, economic system. We need a new system, Adam Silver, the leagues deputy commissioner and chief operating officer said after the NBAs board of governors meeting last week. The current system is broken and is unsustainable. guaranteed profit. If we implement the system they are talking about, franchise values will go through the roof. People will be lining up to buy teams, because its a guaranteed return. Hunter speculated the NBA ownership was being swayed in part by a half-dozen owners including the Washington Wizards Ted Leonsis who have experience in busting unions through their ownership stakes in NHL franchises. The NHL lost the entire 2004-05 season to a lockout but gained major financial concessions from players when a new agreement finally was reached. I think thats part of the energy behind it, Hunter said. Some of the owners in the league . . . went through the lockout in 2005 that decimated the union. The NBA players union has demonstrated its solidarity by sending big-name players and lots of them to bargaining sessions at the last two all-star games. Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers has been heavily involved as the union president; James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and many others have also participated in talks. But little progress has been made over the past year. The sides are split not only over how to divvy up money to the players, but how much of the total revenue the players should receive. Players, whose $5 million average salary is the highest in U.S. professional sports, want to maintain the 57 percent of the basketball revenues that they currently receive; the league wants to shrink that number to closer to 43 percent by taking more money off of the top to cover certain expenses and splitting the rest in half. The owners also have argued since making their first and only proposal in January 2010, that the game would prosper and everyone would benefit if they adopted an NFL-style hard salary cap on individual teams. The NBA, like Major League Baseball, currently has a soft cap, which allows teams to exceed it in special cases but imposes a financial penalty called a luxury tax if they surpass a certain threshold; that money is redistributed to small-market teams. The owners, who say largemarket owners will always be willing to exceed a soft cap, claim a hard cap would increase competitiveness and allow small-market teams to compete for championships. The players say a hard cap would effectively eliminate the guaranteed contracts and longer-term contracts that currently populate the NBA, while suppressing salaries for marquee players, wiping out the NBAs middle class and pushing everyone else to the bottom. Were not receptive, Hunter said, to a hard cap. Andrew Zimbalist, a noted author on sports economics who is also a professor of economics at Smith College. They do have real losses in the aggregate, so its a more difficult situation than the NFL. It is not, however, on par with the financial disarray the NHL found itself in before its last labor dispute. About a third of NHL owners lost less money during the lockout than they would have had games gone on, according to NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. Daly said that, despite the public-relations hit the league absorbed when it canceled the season, the lockout proved to be a valuable tool. Ultimately, we did it for the right reasons, I think, to be able to achieve our objectives in those negotiations, he said during a recent interview. Our league and our sport is in a much better place today than it was seven years ago. . . We were in a position where we really had no choice. The NBA players and ownership seem to agree they do have a choice. Both sides say a lengthy lockout would be disastrous for a business that, while facing some financial challenges, has seen catapulting fan interest in the last year. Even those teams that in the short term would do better on a [profit and loss measure] by not playing. Im sure they would still prefer to be playing and building their business, Silver said. And theres no doubt, from a leaguewide standpoint, we would do enormous damage to ourselves if we are not playing. Said Hunter: Youre going to destroy the league because one or two teams might do better? . . . When we had the lockout in 98, it took until about 2005 for the boat to get righted again . . . and come out of the abyss. Hunter vowed to enter the next round of negotiations with and open mind. Howard Ganz, a prominent sports law attorney who has represented ownership in talks, said he, too, hadnt given up on a deal. A lockout is by no means inevitable, Ganz said. Theres plenty of time left to reach an agreement.

Jamal Crawford scored 25 points and Joe Johnson hit four big free throws in the final 20 seconds after Atlanta struggled most of the night at the line to take a 3-1 lead in its Eastern Conference playoff series. The Hawks will try to wrap up the best-of-seven series Tuesday night in Orlando. Orlando had a last chance to tie, but Al Horford knocked the ball away from Hedo Turkoglu as he tried to get loose for a three-pointer.

A move to share revenue

There is one area, Hunter said, in which the players would embrace an NFL-like system: In revenue sharing. Unlike in the NFL, NBA teams negotiate local television deals, which are not shared, on top of a national television deal that is shared. And unlike in the NFL, in which teams share 40 percent of gate revenue, NBA teams keep their gate receipts. They want to move to an NFL model as it relates to a hard cap, but they do not want to adopt an NFL revenue sharing model, Hunter said. Stern and Silver said revenue sharing was indeed a major topic at the recent board of governors meetings and NBA owners are committed to developing and implementing a new plan. Hunter said the players want to know precisely what that plan is. In any case, Stern said, revenue sharing wont eradicate all the leagues financial problems. You cannot revenue share your way to a sustainable business model, Stern said. Our issues are not solved by revenue sharing. Silver said several NBA franchises are so deeply in the red they would lose less money this season during a lockout than by playing under the current system. Three sports business experts told The Post they consider the NBAs general claims of overall financial losses legitimate. But they also said the NBA already had a relatively restrictive system of free agency. The chances for a work stoppage are at least 50-50, said

Deciphering the numbers

National Basketball Players Association Chief Billy Hunter said the fact that television ratings, ticket sales and licensing revenue increased this season demonstrates the exact opposite: the league is thriving and requires no major fixes, other than, perhaps, some self-control on the part of certain team owners. Despite the NBA owners unprecedented decision during these labor talks to open their books to the union, the sides cant even agree on what the numbers say. Silver said last week 22 of the leagues 30 teams lost money this past year with collective losses at $300 million (better than the $340 million lost the previous year). Hunter maintained during an interview days later that not even a single team is in the red, saying the union disputes elements of the leagues accounting, such as including as losses depreciation figures and certain third-party transactions with team-owned companies. They want a guaranteed profit for each team, Hunter said. Nobody in business gets a

Randy Wolf allowed four hits over eight innings and Milwaukee beat Houston despite a wayward hawk. The hawk attacked another bird in center field in the third inning and grabbed everyones attention throughout the game. Afterward, the Brewers opened the outfield panels, which generally allow birds to leave the retractable roof stadium.

Chicago is wasting nice outings by LHP John Danks. Max Scherzer gave up four hits in eight innings and Detroit finished a three-game sweep. Meantime, the White Sox have lost all five of Dankss starts this season though he has a 3.27 ERA. I tried to keep us in position to win the game, but Max Scherzer is pretty darn good, Danks said.

Werth ends game with perfect throw

By the ninth inning Sunday afternoon, Jayson Werth had not contributed much to the Nationals impending 6-3 win over the Pirates. He went 0 for 5 with a strikeout at the plate and had not done much to make an impact in right field. With one out in the ninth, that changed. Andrew McCutchen stood on third, Jose Tabata at the plate. Tabata lofted a fly ball to right, pushing Werth back a couple steps. McCutchen, despite his team being down three runs, tagged up and bolted home when the ball fell into Werths glove. Werth fired a laser to home plate, one of the few chances hes had this season to display his powerful throwing arm, powerful enough to make it a close play at home even with McCutchen, one of baseballs fastest players, running. As McCutchen slid home, Ivan Rodriguez made a quick, sweeping tag. It was close not even Rodriguez knew for sure if McCutchen was out or safe but home plate umpire Kerwin Danley pumped his fist: out. He played the whole game through, Manager Jim Riggleman said. He didnt get any hits, but he made the final play of the game to send us home with a win.

Morse, Marquis lead Nats past Pirates, 6-3

nationals from D1 None of those hits came from Jayson Werth, who went 0 for 5 with a strikeout just as it seemed, following a deep home run Saturday, he might be breaking out. Werth did, however, assist on the games final out by throwing out Andrew McCutchen, whose questionable decision to tag up allowed Werth to show off his powerful right arm. Still at least a week away from the return of Ryan Zimmerman, the Nationals, if they want to keep holding down the fort, need many members of their slumping lineup to snap out of funks. Morse, it seems, might be in the middle of doing that. After Sundays three-hit performance, Morse is 10 for his past 24 and has raised his average to .259 on the season which, believe it or not, would be second-highest among Nationals regulars. It would be huge, Adam LaRoche said. You look at the averages right now, and its not real good. We dont have a ton of guys on base. I dont think youre ever going to have everybody clicking at once, but we could have the majority of guys get going. Before Sunday, really, Morse had shown none of the power that, in the spring, gave the Nationals no choice but to hand him the open left field position. Morse drilled nine homers in Florida. If they gave out a Grapefruit League MVP trophy, the 2011 model would be resting on Morses mantel. In the third inning Sunday, in his 59th at-bat of the year, Morse walked to the plate without a homer in the regular season. The Nationals had loaded the bases with no outs before Werth grounded into a fielders choice that eliminated the lead runner at home. The previous inning, the Nationals had stranded runners on second and third, and now they were in danger of wasting another rally. Pirates starter Kevin Correia threw Morse an Easter present, a 2-1 fastball down the pike. Morse didnt miss it he rocketed his first home run deep into the left field bleachers, putting the Nationals ahead, 4-1. Morse had neither made any significant adjustments nor allowed himself to worry about the slow start. My names in the lineup, I just go out there and play, he said. But lately, he said, he has been starting his swing a split-second earlier, giving his swing better timing. Marquis was not at his best, but he had all the runs he needed. Pitching on six days rest because of recent rainouts, Marquiss sinker dove less and he left more pitches up in the strike zone than he had all season. The Pirates ripped eight hits and drew two walks, the same number of free passes he had issued in his first three starts combined. Still, Marquis lasted six innings and relied on the same formula that gave him a rotation-best 3.26 ERA entering the game: He threw strikes and kept the ball on the ground. He threw 63 of 100 pitches for strikes, and 15 of the 18 outs he recorded were either strikeouts (three) or groundouts (12). I felt like I was getting better as the game went on, Marquis said. I felt like my stuff was getting better. I felt like I was stronger. And so, when Riggleman visited him with two outs in the sixth inning and asked if he could pitch to one more batter, Marquis told him yes. He wanted no part of coming out of that game, Riggleman said. McCutchen grounded to short, ending the inning. Marquis also laced two singles to center. They will take offense any way they can get it, but the Nationals would prefer that their best hitters be the ones who reverse the trend. At least one of them, it seems, is finally on his way. Said Morse: Im just going to keep doing what Im doing.

Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond is tied for the NL lead in errors with six. He made two on Saturday night.

Controversy over start

Saturday night, after he allowed five runs (three earned) in the first inning of the Nationals 7-2 loss to the Pirates, Livan Hernandez caused a minor stir by suggesting the Pirates knew what time the delayed game would begin before the Nationals. Hernandez also said he thought there should have more time to prepare he ended up throwing his final warm-up pitches in the bullpen during the top of the first inning. Sunday, Riggleman was asked if he thought the Pirates might have had more warning about the start of the game. No, Riggleman said, flatly. They told us all along that, Were just going to re-evaluate this at 8 p.m. At quarter to 8, they told us we would play at 8:15. Players are creatures of habit. Im sure Livo would have liked to have had more time. But when you get these situations, you deal with it as it comes. General Manager Mike Rizzo did not necessarily agree with Hernandez, but he didnt dismiss the notion, either. I dont know, Rizzo said. I dont know when they knew. I knew when we knew.

Desmond gets a breather

Riggleman gave Ian Desmond a day off so he could clear his head after a tough game Saturday night, in which he committed two errors and went 0 for 3 with a walk and a stolen base. Desmond is tied for the league lead (with Ryan Theriot) with six errors and is batting .203 with a .253 on-base percentage, 179th in the majors. His eight steals are tied for fourth in the league. Desmond is awaiting the birth of his first child, which could come any day. The combination of a tough start and his real-life obligations made Riggleman think Desmond would benefit from a breather. Ian could use a day, Riggleman said. Hes got a lot on his mind, the birth of his child coming.

Martin is the latest successful Yankees catcher

yankees from D1 and origins, and who were plucked out of the bargain bin by the $200 million Yankees. There is third baseman Eric Chavez, a six-time Gold Glove winner and stalwart of the Oakland As playoff teams of the previous decade, but whose career was nearly derailed by debilitating back injuries. The Yankees snagged him for the bargain price of $1.5 million. As a part-time fill-in for Alex Rodriguez and occasional DH, he is hitting .389 with a .950 OPS. There is right-hander Freddy Garcia, a three-time 17-game winner, two-time all-star and one-time AL ERA champ, who lost the better part of three seasons to shoulder injuries. His offseason price tag: $1.5 million. In his first start for the Yankees, he threw six shutout innings against the defending AL champion Texas Rangers. There is right-hander Bartolo Colon, the 2005 AL Cy Young winner, twice a 20-game winner. He was out of baseball in 2010, but decided to come back in 2011, signed with the Yankees for $900,000, and has posted a 3.50 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 18 innings, entering Sunday, as Hughess replacement. And there is Martin, considered among the best young catchers in baseball just a few years ago, an all-star in 2007 at age 24 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and again in 2008, before a sudden decline in production in 2009 and a fractured hip in 2010 caused the Dodgers to cut him loose. The Yankees picked him up for $4 million, outbidding the rival Boston Red Sox, and have been rewarded with a .314 batting average, a 1.132 OPS and an impressive job of handling a group of veteran pitchers who were mostly strangers to him before spring training. You have to learn the personality and the character of each individual pitcher, and thats one thing hes done so well, said Tony Pena, the Yankees bench coach and a longtime big league catcher.

Orioles cant quite convert on chances

baltimore The Baltimore

Orioles thought they had scored the winning run in the eighth inning before New York Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner made a superb running catch to rob Luke Scott of an extra-base hit. They again thought they had won the game in the ninth on Brian Robertss two-out double off Mariano Rivera that tied the score but couldnt deliver the winning run as Robert Andino was thrown out at the plate on a great relay throw by Robinson Cano. The missed opportunities made Sundays 6-3 loss in 11 innings to the Yankees before an announced 25,051 on Easter Sunday at Camden Yards sting even worse than Saturday nights 15-3 beatdown. Russell Martin had an RBI single in the 11th off Jason Berken, and the Yankees got insurance runs on RBI singles from Derek Jeter and Curtis Granderson. The three-run 11th inning came after a 40-minute weather delay that occurred with the score tied at 3. After the delay, Cano hit a leadoff double off Berken. He stole third with no outs after catcher Matt Wieters tried to throw behind him. Cano broke for third instead and beat Andinos throw. After Berken struck out Nick Swisher, Orioles Manager Buck Showalter opted to walk pinch hitter Eric Chavez to set up a potential inning-ending double play. Martin hit a ball on the ground that was fielded by Andino, but his throw was high and wide of Brian Roberts as the Yankees took the lead. Even if Andino had made a good throw, it was unlikely that the Orioles would have doubled up Martin. It was the Orioles 11th loss in their past 13 games.

Russell Martin was an all-star with the Dodgers in 2007. He was slowed by a hip injury last year and joined the Yankees for $4 million.

People used to say he was lazy and doesnt want to work, but ... he has done everything weve asked him to do, and more.
Tony Pena, bench coach, on Russell Martin

lazy and doesnt want to work, but its been the total opposite with me. He has done everything weve asked him to do, and more. That tag lazy dogged Martin during his final seasons in L.A., and he acknowledges now that some unspecified offfield issues led to a drop in production, which in turn sapped him of his motivation. It just wasnt as much fun playing the game, he said. And when youre not having fun playing, it all snowballs, and you have a hard time motivating yourself to get out there. His hip injury at first diagnosed, mistakenly, as a torn labrum, which could have been

career-threatening gave Martin the time and space to rethink his career trajectory and revive his inner drive. But by the time he had done that, the Dodgers had also reconsidered his standing in the organization. At first they were talking about changing me to second base, and then they signed [Juan] Uribe, Martin said. And then wanted to sign me as a utility player. No disrespect, but if youre telling me that, you dont really want me. I went to two all-star games for them. Three out of the five years we made the playoffs. I just kind of was tired of that and felt like I needed to get out.

The Yankees, as it turned out, were the perfect fit. The organization found itself between the end of the Posada Era and the start of the Jesus Montero Era, the former a possible Hall of Famer who willingly shifted to DH this year, and the latter considered the top catching prospect in baseball. There may never be a Russell Martin Era in the Bronx, given his one-year deal and Monteros expected arrival in the next year or so. But he is also a mere 28 years old, and with his play so far this season he has made the case for there being a Russell Martin Era a second one somewhere.
