Hearing on Gun ViolenceEx-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, and NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre will testify Wednesday for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence.

President Barack Obama will launch

a campaign this week aimed at over-

hauling the nation’s flawed immigra-

tion system and creating legal status

for millions, as a bipartisan Senate

group nears agreement on achieving

the same goals.

The proposals from Obama and

lawmakers will mark the start of what

is expected to be a contentious and

emotional process with deep politi-

cal implications. Latino voters over-

whelmingly backed Obama in the

2012 election, leaving Republicans

grappling for a way to regain their

standing with an increasingly pow-

erful pool of voters.

The president will press his case

for immigration changes during a trip

to Las Vegas on Tuesday. The Senate

working group is also aiming to out-

line its proposals this week.

Administration off icials say

Obama’s second-term immigration

push will be a continuation of the prin-

ciples he outlined during his fi rst four

years in offi ce but failed to act on. He

is expected to revive his little-noticed

2011 immigration “blueprint,” which

calls for a pathway to citizenship for

illegal immigrants that includes pay-

border security; mandatory penal-

ties for businesses that employ unau-

thorized immigrants; and improve-

ments to the legal immigration system,

including giving green cards to high-

skilled workers.

Republican and Democratic law-

makers were cautiously optimistic

Sunday that a long-sought overhaul

of the nation’s immigration system

will clear Congress this year.

“We are committed to a compre-

hensive approach to fi nally, in this

country, have an immigration law we

can live with,” said Illinois Sen. Rich-

ard Durbin on “Fox News Sunday.”

Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.,

who along with Durbin and Sen. John

McCain is part of the six-member

bipartisan Senate group, said current

politics dictate that a pathway for citi-

zenship must be included. ERICA WERNER,

JULIE PACE AND MICHELE SALCEDO (AP)

Meanwhile … Illinois became the fourth stateSunday to allow illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license with a new law signed by Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. New Mexico and Washington both is-sue licenses to undocumented immi-grants, while Utah issues permits. Il-linois officials say the dissemination of the temporary licenses is expected to begin in November. (AP)

Rubio’s Take on ImmigrationIn an opinion piece published online Sunday in the

Las Vegas Review-Journal, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,

a member of the bipartisan Senate group working on

a framework for immigration legislation, laid out his

proposal. The son of Cuban immigrants wrote that

“significant progress” on enforcing immigration laws

must be certified before unauthorized immigrants

now in the country are allowed to apply for residency

and “get in the back of the line.” (AP)

Obama: Gun Issue Not Black and WhitePresident Barack Obama says gun-

control advocates should be better

listeners in the debate over fire-

arms in America.

In an interview with the New

Republic coming out Feb. 11,

Obama said he has “a profound

respect” for the tradition of hunt-

ing that dates back for generations.

“Part of being able to move this

forward is understanding the real-

ity of guns in urban areas are very

tive of their family traditions when

it comes to hunting.

“So it’s trying to bridge those

gaps that I think is going to be part

of the biggest task over the next

several months,” he said. “And

that means that advocates of gun

control have to do a little more lis-

tening than they do sometimes.”

Has Obama himself ever fi red

a gun?

“Yes,” the president said, “in

fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet

shooting all the time.” (AP)

different from the realities of guns

in rural areas,” he said.

Obama has called for a ban on

military-style assault weapons and

high-capacity ammunition mag-

azines and is pushing other poli-

cies following the mass shooting

last month at an elementary school

in Newtown, Conn. In response,

gun-rights advocates have accused

Obama and others of ignoring Sec-

ond Amendment rights.

The president said it’s under-

standable that people are protec-

Meanwhile … President Barack Obama is a big football fan with two daughters, but if he had a son, he told the New Republic, he’d “have to think long and hard” before letting him play be-cause of the physical toll the game takes. “I think that those of us who love the sport are going to have to wrestle with the fact that it will probably change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence.” (AP)

Heat from New York might be remotely warming up winters in Alaska, a study says.

Heat rising up from cities such as

New York, Paris and Tokyo might

be remotely warming up winters far

away in some rural parts of Alas-

ka, Canada and Siberia, a surpris-

ing study theorizes.

In an unusual twist, that same

urban heat from buildings and cars

may be slightly cooling the autumns

in much of the Western United

States, Eastern Europe and the Med-

iterranean, according to the study

published Sunday in the scientif-

ic journal Nature Climate Change.

Meteorologists long have known

that cities are warmer than rural

areas —it’s called the urban heat

island effect and it’s long been

thought that the heat stayed close.

But the study, based on a com-

puter model and the Northern

Hemisphere, now suggests the heat

does something else, albeit indi-

rectly. It travels about half a mile

up into the air and then its ener-

gy changes the high-altitude cur-

rents in the atmosphere that dic-

Washington

tate prevailing weather.

The computer model showed

that parts of Siberia and northwest-

ern Canada may get, on average,

an extra 1.4 degrees to 1.8 degrees

Fahrenheit during the winter. The

effect isn’t quite as much in northern

North Dakota and Minnesota, where

temperatures might be about half a

degree warmer and even less along

the East Coast. The biggest cool-

ing occurs in the fall, but scientists

don’t know why. SETH BORENSTEIN (AP)

Study: Heat From Cities May Warm Distant Areas

Testing a Theory Several outside scientists said they were surprised by the new study results, calling the work “intriguing” and “clever.” But they said it would have to be shown in more than one computer model and in repeated ex-periments before they could accept this theory. “We must be cautious un-til other models are used to test their hypothesis,” said David Parker, cli-mate monitoring chief of the United Kingdom meteorology office.

On Sunday, Egypt’s president

declared a 30-day state of emer-

hardest by violence that has killed

more than 50 in three days.

Angry and almost screaming,

Mohammed Morsi vowed in a tele-

vised address that he would not

hesitate to take even more action

to stem the latest eruption of vio-

lence across much of the country.

But at the same time, he sought

to reassure Egyptians that his lat-

est moves would not plunge the

country back into authoritarianism.

The three provinces affected

are Port Said, Ismailiya and Suez.

A night curfew from 9 p.m. to

6 a.m. is also in place for a month.

CairoThe worst violence this weekend

was in the Mediterranean coastal

city of Port Said, where at least 44

people died in two days of clashes

set off by the court convictions and

death sentences of 21 defendants

involved in a mass soccer riot in the

city’s main stadium on Feb. 1, 2012.

Most of those sentenced to death

for the February riots that left 74

dead were soccer fans from Port

Said, deepening a sense of perse-

cution that residents there have felt

since the disaster, the worst soccer

violence ever in Egypt.

At least 11 died Friday else-

where in the country during rallies

marking the second anniversary of

the uprising that toppled authori-

tarian President Hosni Mubarak.

The transit agency still has

about 7,000 of the 100,000 com-

memorat ive SmarTrip cards

ordered for this year’s inauguration.

The cards, which cost $15, can be

used for unlimited Metrorail trav-

el on the day they are fi rst used.

Metro reported on the Sunday

before inauguration that it had

nearly sold out of the cards, which

have a picture of President Barack

Obama on them, at Metro Center.

According to the transit agency, it

sold out of cards that were set aside

at stations and held back a certain

number of cards for online orders.

But now all pending online

orders have been dealt with, leav-

ing about 7,000 cards.

The number pales in com-

parison to what still remains

from the previous inauguration.

Metro ordered 200,000 cards for

the event in 2009. There were

about 80,000 left after that, and

between 20,000 and 30,000

of those cards st i l l remain.

from the recession on a solid fi nan-

businesses continue to f lock to

the city. The District fi nished fi s-

cal 2011 with a $240 million bud-

Offi cials spoke about the expect-

ed surplus, which Mayor Vincent

Gray and Chief Financial Offi cer

Natwar Gandhi plan to announce

Tuesday, on the condition of ano-

nymity because they are not autho-

rized to speak about it publicly.

David Umansky, a spokesman

for Gandhi, declined to comment.

Umansky said offi cials are waiting

for “fi nal numbers from auditors.”

But news of the expected sur-

plus is setting in motion an intense

debate about how the excess funds

should be spent. Even before they

knew the exact figure, activists

began lobbying council members

last week to use some of the surplus

to fund social- and human-service

needs in a city where 30 percent of

children live in poverty.

Gray is expected to push to

divert the bulk of the savings into

the city’s coffers, trying to build

up a two-month cash reserve

that the city could fall back on

in an emergency, officials said.

Where It Came From According to early estimates, some of the surplus comes from:

About $200 million in additional revenue collected last year, as well as about $100 million from underspending by agencies, officials said.

About $100 million from dedicated fees that went unspent. That money can only be used for what it was designated for; excess funds from the city’s 5-cent bag tax, for instance, must be used on Anacostia River cleanup. (TWP)

Cover Story

Flames raced through a crowded

nightclub in southern Brazil early

Sunday, killing more than 230 peo-

ple as panicked partygoers gasped

for breath in the smoke-filled air,

stampeding toward a single exit

partially blocked by those already

dead. It appeared to be the world’s

deadliest nightclub fire in more

than a decade.

Witnesses said a flare or fire-

work lit by band members started

the blaze in Santa Maria, a univer-

sity city of about 225,000 people,

though officials said the cause was

still under investigation.

Television images showed

smoke pouring out of the Kiss

nightclub as shirtless young men

who had attended a university

party joined firefighters using axes

and sledgehammers to pound at

windows and walls to free those

trapped inside.

Guido Pedroso Melo, head of

the city’s fire department, said fire-

fighters had a hard time getting

inside because “there was a barrier

of bodies blocking the entrance.”

Teens sprinted from the scene

desperately seeking help. Others

carried injured and burned friends

away in their arms.

“There was so much smoke and

fire, it was complete panic, and it

took a long time for people to get

out, there were so many dead,” sur-

vivor Luana Santos Silva told the

Globo TV network.

The fire spread so fast inside

the packed club that firefighters

could do little to stop it, Silva said.

A survivor, Michele Pereira,

said she was near the stage when

members of the band lit flares that

started the fire.

“The band that was onstage

began to use flares and, suddenly,

they stopped the show and point-

ed them upward,” she said. “At

that point, the ceiling caught fire.”

Guitarist Rodrigo Martins said

the band, Gurizada Fandanguei-

ra, “had played around five songs

when I looked up and noticed the

roof was burning.

“It might have happened

because of the Sputnik , the

machine we use to create a lumi-

nous effect with sparks,” Martins

said. “It’s harmless, we never had

any trouble with it.”

He confirmed that accordion

player Danilo Jacques, 28, died,

while the five other members made

it out safely.

Most of the dead apparently

were asphyxiated, according to Dr.

Paulo Afonso Beltrame, a professor

at the medical school of the Feder-

al University of Santa Maria who

went to the city’s Caridade Hospi-

tal to help victims.

“Large amounts of toxic smoke

quickly filled the room, and I would

say that at least 90 percent of the

victims died of asphyxiation,” Bel-

trame said.

“The toxic smoke made people

lose their sense of direction so they

were unable to find their way to

the exit,” he said. “At least 50 bod-

ies were found inside a bathroom.

Apparently, they confused the bath-

room door with the exit door.”

Police Maj. Cleberson Braida

Bastianello said that the toll had

In Brief

Alex Ovechkin scored his first

goal of the season Sunday, and the

Washington Capitals became the

last NHL team to get a win, beat-

ing the Buffalo Sabres 3-2.

After a fruitless first week,

Ovechkin found the net with a

one-timer from the left circle on a

power play with 14:49 remaining in

the game. Then came the familiar

celebration that had been missing

thus far in this shortened season:

the former two-time league MVP

unleashing a downward fist pump

with left knee bent, then collect-

ing a row of high-fives as he skat-

ed along the Capitals bench.

Joel Ward had a goal and an

assist, John Erskine also scored,

and Michal Neuvirth made 22 saves

for the Capitals, who had opened

with four consecutive losses for the

first time since the 1993-94 season.

The sluggish start led players and

new coach Adam Oates to open-

ly question the team’s work ethic.

Ovechkin was also making the

transition to right wing after play-

Capitals

ing on the left side for his entire

NHL career. Oates suspended that

experiment during the third game

and put the Russian back on the left.

Ovechkin’s goal gave Washing-

ton a 3-1 lead. Marcus Foligno put

in a rebound with 9:47 remaining

to pull the Sabres within one, but

Neuvirth and the Capitals survived

Buffalo’s final push for a tying goal.

Ovechkin should have had a sec-

ond goal in the final minute, but he

hit the post of an empty net after

the Sabres had pulled Ryan Mill-

er for an extra skater.

Tyler Ennis scored in the first

period, and Miller made 27 saves

for the Sabres, who have lost three

straight after opening the season

with a pair of wins. Buffalo played

without left wing Thomas Vanek,

who sat out with a muscle strain.

moment was lost on him.

“Winning it three in a row, it’s

incredible,” Djokovic said after his

6-7 (2), 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-2 victory Sun-

day night. “It’s very thrilling. I’m

full of joy right now. It’s going to

give me a lot of confidence for the

rest of the season, that’s for sure.”

Nine other men had won consec-

utive Australian titles in the Open

era, but none three straight years.

One of them was Andre Agassi, who

presented Djokovic with the trophy.

A year ago, Djokovic began

his season with an epic five-hour,

53-minute five-set win over Rafa-

el Nadal at the Australian Open,

the longest Grand Slam final. He

tore off his shirt to celebrate, the

TV replays repeated constantly at

this tournament.

The Serbian player mimicked

that celebration after coming back

to beat Stanislas Wawrinka in

five hours in a surprisingly tough

fourth-round victory this time.

Since then, he’s looked every bit

the No. 1 player. He said he played

“perfectly” in his 89-minute win

over fourth-seeded David Ferrer

in the semifinals Thursday. Mur-

ray struggled to beat 17-time major

winner Roger Federer in five sets

in the semifinals Friday.

Djokovic said he loves playing

at Rod Laver Arena, where he won

his first major title in 2008. He now

has six Grand Slam titles. Federer

has won four of his 17 majors at Mel-

bourne Park, and Agassi is the only

other player to have won that many

in Australia since 1968. JOHN PYE (AP)

In an age of high-powered offenses

1965 — and increasingly safety-

second-half shutouts of the Patriots

“They’re just as physical as we

are,” Williams replied.

Opposing offenses scored 15.5

points per game against the 49ers,

which ranked third in the NFL in

the regular season. The Ravens

gave up 20 per game, 11th-best.

The 49ers allowed only two

touchdown passes of 20-plus yards,

the lowest total in the league. Bal-

timore allowed six.

During the regular season, the

Ravens were whistled for an NFL-

high 19 personal fouls. Their team

also was penalized more yards

overall than anyone else.

personal fouls and ranked fifth in

Galaxy Quest: The force is strong with J.J. Abrams. The Emmy-winning creator of TV’s “Lost” and the director of

2009’s “Star Trek” movie has officially been pegged by Disney to direct the seventh installment of the “Star Wars” franchise.

The movie, to be released in 2015, will have a script from “Toy Story 3” writer Michael Arndt. In a statement, Abrams called it

an “absolute honor” to get the job. “I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid,” Abrams said. (AP)

In Netflix’s bid for a f lagship original

drama — a “Sopranos” of its own — the

subscription streaming service is pre-

senting a high-class adaptation of a Brit-

ish political thriller offered up all at once,

with its first season immediately ready for

TV-viewing gluttony.

The D.C.-set show, “House of Cards,”

produced by David Fincher and starring

Kevin Spacey, is a bold attempt to remake

the television landscape with the kind of

prestige project cable channels like HBO,

AMC and Showtime have used to defi ne

themselves.

“It’s sort of like we’re the new television

series that isn’t on television,” Spacey says.

On Friday, Netfl ix will premiere all

13 hours of the fi rst season of “House of

Cards,” an event that could herald the

transition of TV away from pricey cable

bundles and toward the Internet — a pro-

cess well under way at YouTube, Hulu and

Yahoo but not yet tested to this degree.

The show, fi lmed in and around Bal-

timore, is no low-budget Web series, but

an HBO-style production for which Net-

Netfl ix’s Big Gamblefl ix reportedly paid in the neighborhood

of $100 million for two seasons.

“When we got into original program-

ming, I wanted it to be loud and deliber-

ate,” says Ted Sarandos, head of content

at Netfl ix. He says data on user viewing

habits proved there’s a large audience for

Fincher, Spacey and political thrillers. The

timing is also good for “House of Cards,”

in that it presents a corrupt congressman

(Spacey) at a time when Congress is viewed

by many as the antihero of American life.

A spirit of rookie experimentation per-

vades “House of Cards,” the fi rst TV show

for Fincher, the director of “Fight Club”

and “The Social Network.”

“I walk into this as a total neophyte. I

don’t watch much TV,” says Fincher, who

directed the fi rst two hours and oversaw

the whole series. “What was interest-

ing to me was the notion of having a

relationship with an audience that

was longer than two hours.”

Obsessively bingeing on a seri-

al has become a modern ritual in DVR-

emptying bursts, on-demand catch-ups

or DVD marathons. In releasing “House

of Cards” all at once, Netfl ix will sacrifi ce

the attention generated by weekly epi-

sodes to cater to these habits. But Saran-

dos notes that in the fi rst 24 hours that

Netfl ix had the second season of AMC’s

“Walking Dead,” about 200,000 people

streamed the entire season.

Netfl ix doesn’t plan to release viewer-

ship fi gures for “House of Cards.” Instead,

it hopes to retain and add to its 27.1 mil-

lion domestic subscribers.

“We want to have a situation where

these shows have time to fi nd their audi-

ence,” Sarandos says. “We’re not under any

time constraints that we have to get all

of America to watch this show

Monday night at 8 o’clock.

There’s no differential

value in people watching

it this year, let alone Mon-

day night.” JAKE COYLE (AP)

Utah’s The Used, while loud and

masculine, has a lot of emotions.

The Carrie Diaries Carrie confronts Sebastian after finding

disturbing information about his past in her father’s work files, and

she’s surprised by his reaction. Later, Carrie joins Mouse, Seth and

Larissa at an edgy performance-art club in the city.

Deception Joanna (Meagan Good, left)

discovers that Julian is harboring a secret from

the night his sister was murdered. Edward

gets troubling information about his past from

Sen. Haverstock. Sofia and Robert make the

90210 Annie (Shenae Grimes, right)

experiences an alternate reality in which she

never came to Beverly Hills. There, Dixon is a

hip-hop star who’s cut off the family, Adrianna

is a washed-up actress, Naomi is selling real

estate, and Teddy is still in the closet.

Hoarders Diana, who was a victim of childhood abuse, took

comfort in surrounding herself with stuff. These days, however,

comfort is hard to come by in her home; her daughter’s room is so

cluttered that the girl has been forced to sleep in a recliner.

Larry Hagman (left, with Josh Henderson) died before season 2 of “Dallas” wrapped.

SK

/TN

T

J.R. Ewing wouldn’t hes-

itate to cheat his fellow

man. He also famously

cheated death.

In the third-season finale of

“Dallas” back in 1980, he was shot

by an unknown assailant and left

for dead. But he recovered nicely,

and the cliffhanger question that

gripped a nation (“Who shot J.R.?”)

was answered that November.

This time, J.R. won’t get off so

easy. During the second season of

TNT’s rebooted “Dallas,” J.R. cashes

in his chips and goes to his reward

... wherever that may be.

Meanwhile, viewers will have

to reckon with the loss of arguably

TV’s greatest villain while also

bidding farewell to Larry Hagman,

the actor who portrayed J.R. so

indelibly until he died of cancer at

81 last year.

“I think viewers want closure,”

says Linda Gray, who plays J.R.’s

long-suffering ex-wife, Sue Ellen.

“They want to mourn Larry

Hagman and J.R. Ewing. They want

to know they can grieve the fact he

won’t be around.”

But all that comes later. With its

two-hour season premiere, “Dallas”

carries on in familiar fashion.

J.R., visibly frail, continues his

reign as a scheming oilman for

most of the season — and he won’t

be forgotten when he’s dead, either.

“Larry being gone doesn’t

eliminate the inf luence of the

character of J.R.,” co-star Patrick

Duffy says. “Who knows what land

mines J.R. will have left behind?”

Models Remodeling“Built” (9 p.m., Style) is funnier to describe than watch. This audaciously ridiculous show follows the exploits of high-fashion male models (such as Donny Ware, above) who moonlight as carpenters and handymen. Naturally, they take off their shirts as they measure lumber while female clients make infantile jokes about their “tools.” (UNIVERSAL UCLICK)

THE MAIN EVENT: An outdoor

“garden party” wedding Aug. 12,

2012, in Sandy Spring, Md.

HOW THEY MET: At a going-away

party for a mutual friend.

CELEBRATING HERITAGE: The cou-

ple added some special touches to

their Jewish ceremony: Family mem-

bers read blessings in both English

and Hebrew, and a recently ordained

childhood friend married them.

THEME: He proposed while they were

THE MAIN EVENT: They will wed

Feb. 1 at the Montgomery County

Judicial Center, just a month after

same-sex marriage became legal in

THE MAIN EVENT: They’re getting

hitched Feb. 2 in Mexico.

HOW THEY MET: At a bar in Dayton,

Ohio. Her best friend introduced

them … 10 times. “She may have

had a few too many glasses of wine

that night — apparently she really

wanted us to meet,” Maureen says.

FIRST DATE: Italian food in Dayton.

HOW HE PROPOSED: He put bow

ties on their dogs, Mugsly and

Bowser, and took them to Lafayette

Park, leaving her a note and some

cab fare. “It was the longest cab

ride of my life,” she says.

MOST STUPID FIGHT: “Over who our

dogs like more,” Justin says.

WHEN SHE KNEW: During a volun-

teer trip to a South African baboon

refuge. “He loved the little or-

phaned baboons as much as I did.

My heart melted.”

Chris Griffith, Rachel Miller

Larry Burkhart, Fred Hocde

Maureen Churgovich, Justin Dillmore

Chris, 28, is an analyst at a consulting firm. Rachel, 31, works at a medical technology association. They live in D.C.

Larry, right, 47, is an engineer at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Fred, 45, is a judo instructor. They live in Rockville.

Maureen, 31, is a meetings director. Justin, 34, is an executive adviser at a research firm. They live in D.C.

making applesauce, so their favors

were farmers market apples on a

table marked “DIY applesauce,” and

they incorporated fresh fruit into as

many dishes as possible.

AH, MEMORIES: Rachel: “My very

serious father kept using the word

‘fabulous’ to describe everything

that day. Even now, thinking of him

saying ‘fabulous’ over and over

makes me tear up a little.”

ONE FOR THE SCRAPBOOK: When

they tried to feed each other their

wedding cake, “we accidentally fed

ourselves instead of each other,”

Rachel says.

ON THE DANCE FLOOR: Near the

end of the night, “our speakers cut

out and we ended up playing ‘Bohe-

mian Rhapsody’ on Rachel’s iPod.”

Maryland.

HOW THEY MET: Larry was on his

way to Paris for his job and a friend

told him to look up Fred. “Larry

said, ‘I’ll be wearing a black leather

jacket.’ He didn’t know that every-

one wears a black jacket in Paris in

the winter.”

FIRST DATE: That very night, they

got dinner.

HOW HE PROPOSED: “I just came

home from work and was so happy

about the referendum in Maryland

that I asked Fred to marry me.”

MOST STUPID FIGHT: “Maybe one

little kerfuffle about an ex going

on the same cruise as us,” Larry

says. “He wasn’t going on vacation

with us, only on the same ship with

3,500 other passengers.”

PET NAMES: Fred calls Larry “san-

glier,” or “wild boar.”

FAMILY TRADITIONS: Larry: “I am

from western Pennsylvania, so per-

haps we will dance a polka or two.

Actually, I love to polka.”

“His band repped [Top Dawg Entertainment] hard, and Kendrick

[Lamar] looked comfortable and well-practiced. For a young, up-and-coming rapper,

Kendrick already carries the confidence

of a seasoned pro.”— CONFUSION AT PIGEONSANDPLANES

.COM thought the Compton, Calif.,-

raised artist did well during his per-

formances on “Saturday Night Live”

this weekend.

“Nothing says thanks for paying me three million

dollars like trying to stab your

former employer in the back on the way out the door.”

— JASON EASLEY AT POLITICUSUSA.COM reacts to news that after

Sarah Palin was offered a con-

tract for less pay as a commen-

tator at Fox News, she told the

website RealClearPolitics.com

that it was her decision to not

renew the agreement.

“The lineup for that other game that will

be played on Feb. 3 — Animal Planet’s ‘Puppy Bowl’ — has been announced. But who invited

the cats? And hedgehogs?”

— LISA GUTIERREZ AT KANSASCITY.COM’S STARGAZING BLOG is looking for-

ward to the popular annual TV event

but isn’t a fan of the half-time show

featuring kittens and the new-this-

year hedgehog cheerleaders.

“If Wayne Gretzky never

scored a goal in his NHL career, he still would

be the league’s all-time leading

point scorer. #Happy

Birthday99”— @VINMASI wishes

a happy day to the

Canadian hockey

legend, who turned

52 on Saturday.

“If car owners were really out for [their] own interest, they

would be encouraging car ‘lite’ lifestyles as much as possible, in order to enjoy an automobile-

centric lifestyle with fewer people competing with them

for the use of scarce street and parking resources.”

— RICHARD LAYMAN AT URBANPLACESANDSPACES.BLOGSPOT.COM makes a point

about the District’s transit-orient-

ed design after reading an editorial in

the Northwest Current that knocks the

city’s zoning commission for approving

a development in Tenleytown without a

parking requirement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You

mustn’t lose sight of your primary objec-

tive. Remember that there are people

depending on you at this time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take care

that you don’t mistake the reaction you

get from others today for one that you

are likely to get on a regular basis. Don’t

overreact.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The begin-

nings of things are going to be quite

attractive to you today, but you may

have trouble sticking with some of them

to the bitter end.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can

expect a good deal of competition

today, yet you’re in a place that will

allow you to react quite effectively to

whatever comes your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’re likely

to get some advice today from someone

who has been there before. It would be

unwise of you to reject it out of hand.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s a good

day to pick up the pace, turn up the heat

and give it all you’ve got. Those around

you have been waiting long enough!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ve been feel-

ing pressured to do things in a manner

that doesn’t come naturally to you —

but today you can settle into an accept-

able routine.

seemed routine and even boring only

yesterday is likely to be much more

interesting and engaging today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Making

assumptions can only put you in a vul-

nerable position. Be sure you have

accurate and up-to-date information.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Now is no

time to contribute to the rumor mill.

Get the facts and disseminate them in a

responsible fashion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You

may have trouble believing what you

see and hear today — but are your

senses really betraying you like that?

Investigate further.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You

know that you can express yourself

honestly at this time, but you may want

to wait until your audience is willing.
