GOP Fireworks Start Early in Fla.

Ahead of debate, Romney, Gingrich swing at each other

mWi^_d]jedfeij$Yec The Republican presidential debate in Tampa, Fla., ended after Express’ deadline Monday. For post-debate analysis, visit washingtonpost.com.

Rocked in South Carolina over the weekend, an increasingly aggressive Mitt Romney looked to take the fight to Newt Gingrich in a debate Monday night as the combative Republican presidential contest shifted farther south to Florida.

The fireworks began before they walked onto the debate stage.

Romney released his first negative ad of the campaign that said Gingrich “cashed in” with homeloan giant Freddie Mac while Floridians were being crushed in the housing crisis and accused the former House speaker of engaging in “potentially wrongful activity” in his consulting work.

Gingrich launched a pre-emptive defense, saying earlier Monday in an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that he never lobbied for Freddie Mac. “It’s not true. He knows it’s not true. He’s deliberately saying things

Trying to regain his footing, Mitt Romney on Monday lashed out at Newt Gingrich, saying he engaged in “potentially wrongful activity” while working as a consultant.

Dej j^[ ;dZehi_d] A_dZ Sen. Marco Rubio is young and charismatic. He’s Hispanic, Catholic and the son of Cuban immigrants. He’s a tea party favorite, a GOP star and, many say, the future of the Republican Party. Rubio’s endorsement would be a big get for any of the presidential contenders ahead of the Jan. 31 Florida primary — if only he were the giving kind. The freshman senator has pledged to stay neutral as Republicans pick a challenger to President Obama. (AP)

he knows are false,” Gingrich said.

Florida polls suggest he may have erased Romney’s lead here.

As Romney criticized Gingrich for earning more than $1.6 million in consulting fees from Freddie Mac, Romney’s latest financial disclosure report showed he had invested as much as $500,000 in the U.S.-backed lender and its sister entity, Fannie Mae. The disclosure came a day before Romney was to release his tax return from 2010 and an estimate of his 2011 taxes.

While the fight has largely become a two-man contest, they will share the stage with former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. The GOP rivals were clashing Monday night before the debate and will meet again Thursday night in the runup to the Florida primary on Tuesday, Jan. 31. STE VE PEOPLES (AP)

MWi^_d]jed In a rare defeat for law enforcement, the Supreme Court unanimously agreed on Monday to bar police from installing GPS technology to track suspects without first getting a judge’s approval. The justices made clear it wouldn’t be their final word on increasingly advanced high-tech surveillance of Americans.

Indicating they will be monitoring the growing use of such technology, five justices said they could see constitutional and privacy problems with police using many kinds of electronic surveillance for longterm tracking of citizens’ movements without warrants.

It’s not clear how much difficulty agencies would have with warrant requirements; they are rarely denied warrants they request. (AP)

For Giffords’ Seat, a Political Free-for-All F^e[d_n U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ decision to resign from Congress sets up a political free-for-all in her competitive southeastern Arizona district, with voters set to pick a temporary replacement and then a full-term representative in rapid succession.

As Giffords, critically injured in a mass shooting last year, steps out of the public eye this week to focus on rehabilitation and recovery efforts, her departure thrusts Tucson into the national spotlight.

Holding onto Giffords’ seat has sentimental as well as symbolic value for Democrats as the elections will come as the presidential race intensifies — in a red state that the Obama campaign is targeting.

Under a timetable set in Arizona law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer will schedule the special elections — both a primary and a general —

Robot-assisted throat

and mouth surgery is only as good as the surgeon who performs it. Meet

Dr. Stanley Chia,

Washington Hospital Center.

Stanley Chia, MD, FACS

Radical surgeries to remove cancerous tumors of the throat and mouth are becoming a thing of the past — thanks to robotic surgery and surgeons like Dr. Stanley Chia, a Washingtonian Top Doctor in otolaryngology. He has performed more transoral robotic surgeries (TORS) to remove these tumors than any other Washington-based physician.

TORS is a superb alternative to chemotherapy and radiation — with faster recovery and fewer side effects. For tumors of the tonsil and base of the tongue, up to 30 percent of chemo/radiation patients lose the ability to swallow effectively. TORS can decrease this statistic to less than four percent.

Areas Treated by Dr. Chia and His Team: Tonsils n Soft Palate n Base of the Tongue n Hypopharynx (Next to the Voicebox) n Oropharynx n Supraglottis (Area Above the Vocal Cords) n Airway Problems that Cause Sleep Apnea n

Washington Hospital Center has the area’s most advanced da Vinci® Surgical System. And the most diverse robotic surgery program in Washington.

If you’ve been diagnosed with these types of tumors, your surgery is one of the most important choices you will ever make.“I’m there for you at every step to make sure it’s the right one,” says Dr. Chia.

Reasons like these are why we perform more robotic surgeries than any other hospital in Washington.

Ala. Storm Kills 2, Wounds 100 EWa =hel[" 7bW$ Knowing this community’s history of tornadoes, Jhan Powers gets nervous anytime violent weather rolls in. While her house was spared this time, a tornado demolished nearby mobile homes — all of which were just a short drive from a path of destruction cut just last year by a deadly twister.

At least two tornadoes roared across the heart of Alabama on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 100 others during the middle of the night. More than 200 homes were destroyed, the Red Cross said, and just as many houses were heavily damaged.

The storm awoke families, and many huddled together as winds howled outside. After the storms passed, rescue teams had to go door-to-door in some places, calling out to residents.

The storm system stretched from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, producing hail, strong

winds and rain.

Amber Butler and her family hid in her sister’s brick home as the storm approached about 3:30 a.m.

Butler’s own home was destroyed.

Islamist lawmakers added religious references to the oath of office. Liberal lawmakers added a pledge to protect the “revolution” that ousted Hosni Mubarak. Some wore scarves with words protesting military trials for civilians. Shouting matches erupted. Hundreds massed outside, calling on the ruling generals to step down.

And millions of Egyptians watched it all unfold live on TV. The opening session of parliament offered a stark contrast to past decades, when Egyptians knew that lawmakers came to office through deeply fraudulent elections and paid little or no heed them.

All that came to an end when the new legislature was elected in balloting staggered over six weeks beginning Nov. 28. Islamists led by the Muslim Brotherhood won

EU Oil Ban Stirs Iranian Threats

J^[o >[Whj >Wl[b Candles that flickered across Czechoslovakia to mourn former president Vaclav Havel, who died Dec. 18 at 75, are being blowtorched into a huge wax heart for display in Prague. Artist Lukas Gavlovsky said Monday that the heart will be about 7 feet tall and will be finished by mid-February. Havel has long been associated with hearts. He ended his signature with one, and when he left office in 2003, a neon sign of a heart shone from Prague Castle. (AP)

J[^hWd" ?hWd Senior Iranian lawmakers stepped up threats Monday to block the Persian Gulf’s oil tanker traffic after the latest blow by Western leaders seeking to rein in Tehran’s nuclear program: a punishing oil embargo by the European Union that sharply raises the economic stakes for Iran’s defiance.

The EU decision opened a new front against Iran’s leaders. Pressure is bearing down from many directions, including the U.S. lobbying Asian powers to shun Iranian crude, a nose-diving national currency and a recent slaying in what Iran calls a clandestine campaign against its nuclear program.

Mohammad Ismail Kowsari said Monday that the strait “would definitely be closed if the sale of Iranian oil is violated in any way.”

Another senior lawmaker, Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, said that the closure was increasingly probable, according to the semiofficial Mehr news agency.

The lawmakers’ comments echo similar statements made this month by military commanders.

At the same time, Iran has tried to ease tensions by offering to reopen nuclear talks with the U.S. and other world powers.

But there are no signals that the sanctions will force concessions on the core dispute: Iran’s ability to enrich uranium. (AP)

?dj[di_\o_d] ;\\ehji The EU adopted tough measures against Iran on Monday, with an immediate embargo on new oil contracts and a freeze of the country’s Central Bank assets. The U.S. also added sanctions on Bank Tejerat, Iran’s third-largest bank, after moves targeting Iran’s finances and its ability to sell petroleum. (AP)

In response, Tehran has turned to one of its most powerful cards: the Strait of Hormuz, the route for a fifth of the world’s oil. Iran has rattled markets with warnings it could block the waterway, which could spark a Gulf conflict.

7Zi _d C[jhe :edÊj 8h_d] _d CkY^ Ced[o I just read the article about the most recent set of Metro fare increases. I understand the system needs the money, but what about other ways to raise it? I traveled abroad this summer and noticed in one country, their train cars were plastered with advertisements.

Surely, this could raise some money. Has this ever even been considered?

Metro doesn’t sell ads directly, but contracts with an ad-selling company. The contract isn’t very big, the transit authority says, because not that many companies are interest-

ed in advertising on Metro trains and buses. Transit staffers associate that with the weakness of the consumer economy. (That’s why it seems like most of the ads we have are for lobbyists targeting federal officials.)

The ad contract doesn’t contribute much to total revenue.

Does no one from OPM coordinate with Metro?

I tried in vain to take Metro to work Monday. OPM announced very early Sunday evening that the government would open at 11 a.m. Monday. In a sane world,

:h$ =h_ZbeYa offers commuter counseling online at washingtonpost.com.

Metro would know that and adjust its personnel accordingly.

Instead, around 10 a.m. when I entered Ballston station, trains were running 10 to 12 minutes apart. Each train that came into the station was already quite full. The packed platform at Ballston could not empty into the trains. This is pathetic and ridiculous. Why did Metro not add trains to the late-morning rush hour?

They do coordinate. I’ve talked to both OPM and Metro about this.

Metro did send out a notice saying it would expand rush-hour service, and linked that to the OPM announcement about the delayed

opening of federal offices.

Of course, that doesn’t explain why trains would be 10 to 12 minutes apart at Ballston at 10 a.m. I do know this: Orange Line riders often complain about big gaps between inbound trains on the west side of the line as the rush hour advances. The trains get thrown off schedule as they pass through downtown, unloading and loading big crowds. That makes for big gaps between the trains by the time they get out to Vienna or Falls Church and turn back.

D.C. has some of the worst bus bunching of any city that I have ever encountered. Anyone who takes

the 16th Street bus lines will be aware of this phenomenon — six buses come all at once, and then no buses come for 20 or more minutes.

This makes it very difficult to rely on the bus for commuting. Do you know whether WMATA has ever examined this phenomenon or tried to address it?

Yes, unfortunately, Metro did examine bus bunching on the 16th Street Line, and the service you see now is the result of actions taken in part to correct that problem.

For example, Metro launched the S9 limited-stop service during peak periods, and made changes in some of the other S routes to make service more regular.

spent and use it to benefit the commonwealth.”

Under the resolution, eight members of the General Assembly would be selected to head a study on the feasibility and practicality of legalizing the use and sale of marijuana under certain conditions, and regulating that sale through the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Findings would be due by the first day of the 2013 legislative session.

While most of the feedback has been positive, Englin doesn’t expect that the proposals, which have been referred to the House Rules Committee, to survive.

“Anything like this faces a steep uphill climb, but my purpose is to get the conversation going,” Englin said. MICHAEL FELBERBAUM (AP)

The two Metro employees accused of stealing thousands of dollars in coins paid by passengers to ride trains are negotiating a possible plea deal, according to court papers.

Federal authorities arrested Horace Dexter McDade, a revenue technician, and John Vincent Haile, a Metro Transit Police officer, Wednesday night and charged them with conspiring to commit theft.

McDade’s job was to collect bills and coins from fare machines and truck the cash to a collection facility in Alexandria while Haile stood guard. But authorities say the two stashed bags of money for their own use and have been conspiring since at least 2010, according to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court.

It is unclear how much money may have been stolen. Prosecutors say that Haile’s bank records show unexplained cash deposits of more than $150,000 since 2008 and that the probe is ongoing.

On Monday, the two men waived a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Judge John F. Anderson in the U.S. District Court.

Both defendants filed motions asking for an extended time period for an indictment. Court papers said the two are “exploring a preindictment plea.” Robert Whitestone, a defense lawyer for McDade, said Monday “some negotiation is involved in every single criminal case that I’ve ever been in,” he said.

“That doesn’t mean it will be successful, but hopefully it will be.” DANA HEDGPETH (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Fhec_i[i" Fhec_i[i As President Obama prepares for his annual address to Congress on Tuesday, many goals he has outlined in State of the Union addresses of the past remain unfulfilled. Last year’s State of the Union, which Obama is seen delivering here, offers a case study in that dynamic:

Obama’s Big Pitch The president looks to sway voters with his goals for the U.S. in his annual speech MWi^_d]jed Eager to command center stage in a year dominated by Republican infighting, President Obama is polishing a State of the Union address that will go to the heart of Americans’ economic anxiety and try to sway voters to give him four more years. He will speak Tuesday to a nation worried about daily struggles and unhappy with his handling of the economy.

Obama’s address before a politically divided Congress will be built around ideas meant to appeal to a squeezed middle class. He is expected to urge higher taxes on the wealthy, propose ways to make college more affordable, offer new steps to tackle a debilitating housing crisis and try to help U.S. manufacturers expand hiring.

Designed as a way for a president to update the nation and recommend ideas to Congress, the State of the

H[WY^_d] Ekj President Obama is planning a live video chat next Monday to answer questions about his State of the Union address, part of a White House effort to test new social networking tools. Google announced Monday that Obama will participate in a 45-minute live video chat room known as a “Hangout,” which is part of the online search giant’s social networking site Google Plus. (AP)

Union address has become more than that, especially during that one window when the address falls during the re-election year of an incumbent. It is televised theater — and Obama’s biggest, best chance so far to offer a vision for a second term.

He will frame the campaign to come as a fight for fairness for those who are struggling to keep a job, a home or college savings and losing faith in how the county works.

The speech will be principally about the economy, featuring the themes of manufacturing, clean energy, education and American values.

No matter who Obama faces in November, the election is likely to be driven by the economy and determined by which candidate wins voters’ trust on how to fix it. More people than not disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy.

The overarching political goal is to contrast his vision of a government that tries to level the playing field and the Republican office-seekers who, in Obama’s view, would leave people on their own. He has offered signals about his speech, telling supporters he wants an economy “that works for everyone, not just a wealthy few.”

Newt Gingrich, on the other hand, calls Obama “the most effective food stamp president in history.” Mitt Romney says Obama “wants to turn America into a European-style entitlement society.”

The public is more concerned about domestic troubles over foreign policy than at other any time in the past 15 years, a Pew Research Center survey found. About 81 percent want Obama to focus his speech on domestic affairs, not foreign ones. Five years ago, the view was evenly split. BEN FELLER (AP)

Here We Go Again 4 years later, Giants and Patriots renew a Super Bowl rivalry Fhe <eejXWbb Hey, Indianapolis. A Manning will be playing in your Super Bowl, after all. No, not that one.

It’ll be Eli Manning leading the New York Giants to a Super Bowl rematch against the New England Patriots — and this time on older brother Peyton’s home field. “It doesn’t matter to me where you’re playing it or the fact that it’s in Indianapolis,” Eli Manning said. “I’m just excited about being in one.”

And if the Giants can pull this one off, Eli will have sibling bragging rights with one more Super Bowl ring than Peyton, who missed this season for the Colts after having neck surgery.

It sure won’t be easy for the Giants, though. Four years after New York stunned previously undefeated New England in the Arizona desert, they’ll play a Super sequel.

Eli versus Brady. Coughlin versus Belichick. The Giants versus the Patriots.

Sound familiar? Here we go again.

“It’s awesome and we look forward to the challenge,” Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora said. “We are looking forward to it, and it’s going to be a great game.”

Well, judging from the last time these teams met in the Super Bowl — David Tyree’s jaw-dropping, helmet-pinning catch and all — it just might be.

New England (15-3) opened as a three-point favorite for the Feb. 5 game against New York (127), but the Patriots know all about being in this position. They were favored by 12 points and pursuing perfection in 2008, but New York’s

Beea M^eÊi 8WYa New England last won the Super Bowl in 2005, a long drought considering that the Patriots took home Lombardi trophies three times in four years. There are only a handful of players left from that team, with guys such as Corey Dillon, Tedy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison replaced by young up-andcomers such as Gerod Mayo, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. The constants, though, are Tom Brady, right, and Bill Belichick. And that’s been a winning combination for New England, combining to become the first QB-coach combination to win five conference championships in the Super Bowl era. (AP)

J>; F7JI

=_Wdji JkhdWhekdZ The Giants were facing elimination against the rival Jets and Rex Ryan, who boldly declared that his team ruled New York. Well, Tom Coughlin’s crew silenced Ryan with a 29-14 victory on Christmas Eve. The Giants followed that with a 31-14 win over Dallas in the regular-season finale to clinch the NFC East and get to the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 season. New York dominated Atlanta at home in the opening round. Then came a stunner: a 37-20 victory at Green Bay — knocking out the defending Super Bowl champions.

On Sunday, Eli Manning, left, extended the best season of his career with one more solid performance, and Lawrence Tynes kicked the Giants past the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in overtime for the NFC title. (AP)

J>; I =?7DJ

defense battered Brady, and Manning connected with Plaxico Burress on a late touchdown to win the Giants’ third Super Bowl.

That TD came, of course, a few moments after one of the biggest plays in playoff history: Manning escaping the grasp of Patriots defenders and finding Tyree, who put New York in scoring position by trapping the football against his helmet.

“Hopefully, we will have the same result,” Umenyiora said. “We still have one more game to go, but this is truly unbelievable.”

Especially since the Giants appeared on the verge of collapsing with Tom Coughlin’s job status in jeopardy just a month ago, when they fell to 7-7 after a loss to the Redskins on Dec. 18.

The Patriots are rolling into the Super Bowl having won 10 straight, with their last loss being to — you guessed it — the Giants, 24-20 back in early November.

“They’re an amazing team,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said of his group. “They’re a great brotherhood; they’re a family.”

And they’re all looking to lift another Super Bowl trophy together. Patriots-Giants. One more time.

J^[ 9Wf_jWbi Alex Ovechkin received a three game suspension for his leaping hit against Pittsburgh defenseman Zbynek Michalek in the second period of Washington’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins on Sunday, the NHL announced late on Monday.

Ovechkin won’t be eligible to return to Washington’s lineup until its game in Montreal on Feb. 4.

This marks the third time in Ovechkin’s career that he has been suspended; the previous two both occurred during the 2009-10 sea-

son. The first was for a knee-onknee hit against Tim Gleason and the second was a hit from behind on Brian Campbell.

The superstar refused to discuss the big hit at practice on Monday.

Ovechkin wasn’t penalized for the check in the game and Michalek wasn’t injured on the play. Michalek faced a disciplinary hearing of his own on Monday for elbowing Matt Hendricks roughly five minutes after he absorbed the hit from Ovechkin.

Michalek did not receive any supplementary discipline for that play.

People pause in remembrance of Joe Paterno at Penn State on Monday.

Michael Day, a 1973 Penn State graduate from Hagerstown, Md., whose father taught there and whose four children all have Penn State degrees, said the trustees were wrong to fire Paterno, and he believes they will ultimately be replaced. He said he hopes they don’t attend.

“I think the Penn State community is separate from the Penn State board of trustees,” he said.

“The board of trustees has separated itself from the Penn State community, and the Penn State community loves Joe Paterno and always will. So it’s appropriate for the Penn State community to honor Joe Paterno in this service.” (AP)

9ebb[][ <eejXWbb Joe Paterno’s family said Monday the legendary football coach will get a two-day viewing and a public memorial this week on the Penn State campus, two months after the university summarily fired him over the phone.

The family gave no details on who might be invited or asked to speak at the memorial Thursday at the basketball arena, which can hold 16,000 people. Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers said the specifics were still being worked out with the Paternos.

But many alumni and students say Paterno was treated shabbily by the board of trustees in November, and trustees and other members of the administration might not be made to feel welcome at the memorial for the 85-year-old coach, who died Sunday of lung cancer.

7 D[m :[\_d_j_ed e\ O The YWCA endeavors to stick to its mission by extending exercise to all Washingtonians

Don’t Miss It

PHOTO S BY TEDDY WOLFF

Too many folks have the wrong idea about the YWCA — and not just because they figure it’s the same thing as the YMCA. (Note the “W,” which stands for “women’s.”)

“People think we’re a health and fitness club. That’s not it at all,” says Tamara Smith, CEO of the YWCA Nat iona l Capital Area, which relocated to the U Street corridor last month from its Chinatown home <_jd[ii of 30 years. :[i[hji Since the local A series chapter was foundexamining disparities in ed in 1905, it’s physical activity been at the foreopportunities in Washington. f ront of soc ia l change in Washington. In 1907, it sponsored the city’s first adult education class. In 1916, it opened the city’s first swimming pool for women. In 1944, the YWCA became the city’s first nonsegregated food service.

But recently, despite running a variety of programs designed to help people earn their GEDs, fight domestic violence and promote social justice, what they’ve been chiefly known for is the Gallery Place Fitness & Aquatics Center, which shuttered in 2008. Part of the problem was money, but to Shae Agee, the YWCA’s director of health and wellness programs, the bigger issue was that the center wasn’t addressing its mission to eliminate racism and empower women.

Zumba classes are one of the most popular offerings at the YWCA’s new location just north of U Street.

There’s no doubt, however, that health is a critical part of this mission, Smith says, particularly when it comes to eliminating disparities in access to fitness. “So we decided to start over,” Agee says. The program that’s emerged is Empower Fit, which aims to encourage exercise across the city.

At the new 15,000-square-foot YWCA headquarters (2303 14th St. NW; Ywcanca.org) — which houses classrooms, computer labs and conference space — there are also dual fitness studios. Between the two rooms, the YWCA offers nearly 30 classes each week.

And at $6 per class (or a 10-class card for $50), they’re some of the cheapest group fitness opportunities in the region. That’s by design,

Agee says. When she worked at traditional health clubs, the goal was always to make money. “Instead, we want their assessments and outcomes. We have the mind-set that profit is success, not money,” she says.

That’s why she also recently introduced an innovative pricing strategy for personal training. “We talk to them about their financial situations and what they can pay, when they can pay,” says Agee, who hopes to expand the pro-

gram this year.

Empower Fit also extends beyond YWCA walls by providing free fitness classes at several locations, including Mayfair Mansions, a housing complex in Ward 7. At Wheeler Terrace, a development in Ward 8, they’ve launched a youth soccer program. “When they saw a soccer ball, they said, ‘What’s this?’” Agee says.

Taking exercise directly to these neighborhoods makes it easier for a segment of the popu-

The YWCA’s group fitness schedule includes classes you won’t typically find at area gyms, including Club-Style Line Dancing. But the one that’ll really make your jaw drop — and your abs hurt — is Spin Class With No Bikes. “The only equipment you need is your body and determination,” says trainer Corey Belin, who developed the concept a year ago. He started with bicycle crunches, added other exercises with alternating leg movements (including mountain climbers and fast feet shuffles) and found his boot camp clients couldn’t wait to “ride.” It’s offered Mondays and Wednesdays at 5 p.m.

lation that has been hit especially hard by the economic downturn.

“The myth is that people are lazy and they have all of these opportunities to exercise,” says Agee, who notes that Ward 8 has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, which makes paying for fitness a luxury many people simply can’t afford. And it makes the YWCA’s new approach to exercise seem like the right idea.

As someone who struggled with her weight in college, Melissa relates easily to her clients’ challenges. Her passion is helping clients learn that with motivation, accountability and a solid plan, anyone can reach their goals. She has been a personal trainer since 2006, and holds a B.S. in Kinesiology and an M.S. in Exercise Physiology.

A former classmate of mine recently reconnected with me on Facebook. At first things were just friendly, but as the conversation progressed, he ended up asking me out. I was flattered by his gesture, but I failed to mention that I am currently in a longdistance relationship that seems to be at a dead end. Do I take the bait and go for it or be stuck in the mud forever? CROSSROADS

DWc[ Oekh 9ec\ehj B[l[b I legally changed my name after suffering childhood abuse from my paternal grandfather.

Recently, I got married and kept my “maiden” name. My in-laws are now wondering why my surname is different from my parents’ last name.

Generally, I tell the people who ask that I changed my name for personal reasons. My husband doesn’t think this answer will be satisfactory and thinks I should disclose the whole story. IT’S PRIVATE I’m surprised I’m the one who has to break this to your husband — I don’t even know the dude — but it’s not his mommy and daddy who get to decide whether his wife’s level of detail when discussing her private history is “satisfactory.”

This is your story. Forcing you to disclose more than you want to, much less relive trauma that could be unsettling for you to discuss, is simply not fair. If he’s so concerned

with them harping about it, and it’s 1,000 percent OK with you, then you can give him permission to privately tell them that you preferred to make a clean break from your old name because of some experiences you had. If you’d rather him not say anything at all, that’s also your right. Then it becomes his duty to put his wife’s emotional health first, even if he must withstand a little harping in the process.

My head is spinning here — which metaphor to follow up with first?

Either way, I’m thinking fish or cut bait!

Figure out the status of your long-distance relationship — and solidify it — before you do anything with your old classmate.

It’s not fair to either of these guys for you not to be on the up-and-up with them.

If your relationship is at a dead end, then end it. There doesn’t need to be any mud involved. And if Mr. Friendly Facebook has true potential, then he will be willing to wait until things get sorted out.

It can’t come as a shock to him after all this time that you might be romantically entangled, even if you shunned the official “It’s Complicated.”

Theater J, 1529 16th St. NW; Tue., 7:30 p.m., Feb. 12 and 19, 5 p.m., tickets $10; 800- 494-8497, Washingtond cjcc.org.

ANNA SPELMAN

Storyteller Jon Spelman’s “The Prostate Dialogues” isn’t exactly about having prostate cancer. The stage show, a work-in-development, focuses on what it’s like not to have prostate cancer anymore — and why that isn’t quite as rosy as it sounds.

Spelman’s diagnosis came in June 2009, when the Baltimorebased writer and actor underwent tests to figure out why he’d become so fatigued. Although the doctors never pinpointed the cause, they discovered the cancer, and Spelman opted for immediate surgery. When he woke up, he was attached to an enormous catheter, had no interest in sex with his wife and finally recognized how much one organ could mean to him.

Because of the prostate’s placement in the body, Spelman says, some degree of incontinence and erectile dysfunction is to be expected after surgery. But before going under the knife, he hadn’t prepared himself for the magnitude of potential problems. “Of course they mention [the aftereffects], but you don’t hear it,” he says. “So while my cancer seems to be fine, I have these other difficulties that men and women don’t know anything about.”

Spelman, 69, has found that three words inevitably come up when discussing the subject: “There’s prostate, which most of us didn’t understand before cancer. Cancer, which people don’t like to talk about. And penis.” Although he’s shared personal stuff onstage for 30-plus years, he recognizes this is taboo territory. But that’s why he refuses to shut up. “We all go to the bathroom and have sex,” he says.

Still, he’s concerned about tone.

So he lightens the mood by recount-

ing how Roman boys wore a bulla, a locket containing erect phallic objects. He tours through the strange treatments that have been used over the years for ED, including surgeries using a raccoon’s rib or monkey testicles.

For Spelman, this experience has forced him to face his mortality.

“Even if you get off as easily as I did, it’s a slap in the face,” he says. With the performance, he aims to pack enough of a punch that the audience is inspired to get medical screenings. And even start talking to each other. VICK Y HALLET T (E XPRESS)

Racism’s not a closed case, but in novelist Walter Mosley’s latest work, it’s in the past

Eternal Midnite From 1994 to 1999, Midnite was arguably the premier roots reggae band in D.C. It might still be, too, had vocalist Vaughn Benjamin and his bassist brother Ron (left and right, respectively) not moved back to their native St. Croix, Virgin Islands.

Midnite made two records while living here, 1997’s “Unpolished” and 1999’s “Ras Mek Peace.” But since then, the group’s catalog has exploded 8o 9^h_ijef^[h and now includes Fehj[h more than 40 albums. Five were released in 2011 alone, including “Anthology,” a comp of 14 unreleased tracks, and November’s well-received “King’s Bell.” The brand-new “In Awe,” out this month, continues the pile-on.

With so much music available, it might seem difficult to know where to dive into Midnite’s discography. The truth is, you can start anywhere: Midnite is crazy consistent, and “Mongst I & I,” the single off “King’s Bell,” is one of the Benjamin brothers’ greatest songs. Vaughn’s sweet but textured vocals are propelled by Ron’s slow, rolling bass lines, giving Midnite an earthy, ’70s roots reggae vibe.

Jah knows Midnite last forever.

As Bill Clinton pointed out just before being elected president in 1992, the crime novels of Walter Mosley are first and foremost crackling good stories, full of mystery, suspense and prose like good soul food: hearty, stick-to-your-ribs sentences with a spicy aftertaste.

Their nutrient value is fortified — par t icularly in the case of the books featuring the AfricanAmerican sleuths Ezekiel “Easy” Rawlins and Fearless Jones, both set in Los Angeles in the 1950s — by layers of insight into race relations at a time when a black detective’s life was never in so much danger as when he stepped into a bar full of white people.

Then there’s the case of another, rather different Mosley character, Leonid McGill. Like Easy and Fearless, Leonid is black. Unlike them, he lives in New York and, more important, in the present. While Easy and Fearless struggle with the racial politics of their time and place, Leonid, an ex-criminal working as a private investigator, is relatively free of that burden. If he has a cross to bear, it has more to do with his being short

than his race.

“Leonid lives in the 21st century, and in the 21st century, things are different,” says Mosley, whose fourth McGill novel, “All I Did Was Shoot My Man” ($26.95, Riverhead Books), is out Tuesday. “It’s a new world. There’s an awareness of race

now, but there’s not the overpowering dominance of race that you had in the 20th century.”

Leonid, then, is Mosley’s first “post-black” hero, a black man whose race is far down the list of things that define him.

And although he’s a man of the

21st century, Leonid is also something of a throwback to the hardboiled tradition of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.

“Maybe Leonid is a throwback in literature, but I’m not sure he is in the culture,” Mosley says. “I’m not sure he doesn’t exist, which is a good thing, because maybe we’re in need of that kind of hero today.”

<_bc

Radio station WNEW made its local debut Sunday afternoon, bringing news, weather and traffic reports to Washington’s airwaves and a question to mind: Can a second station broadcasting news, weather and traffic make it in the region?

The station, owned by media goliath CBS, is entering what its managers acknowledge is one of the most news-clotted markets in the country. They also recognize that they’re up against the all-news equivalent of an aircraft carrier — mighty WTOP, which dominates the local radio dial so thoroughly that it attracts more than three times the advertising revenue of any other station in Washington.

Nevertheless, WNEW (99.1 FM) is betting that it can be scrappier, livelier and just plain newsier than its primary competitor.

Its first broadcast from its new studio, a former office-machines sales office just outside the Beltway in Prince George’s County, sounded much like WTOP. There were brief reports about the death of for-

The new station went on the air with just 39 people in its newsroom, about one-third as many as WTOP. Robert Sanchez, WNEW’s program director, acknowledges that his staff of eight field reporters “is not a lot of boots on the ground” to cover the region. But with weather updates

every four minutes, traffic reports every 10, business and sports twice hourly, plus 17 minutes an hour of commercials, there’s only so much time left over for actual news.

“The idea is, you punch the button and you’ll find out what’s happening now” Sanchez says.

“You don’t always get that on WTOP. I hear a lot of process on WTOP — national-security stories, political minutiae. They can sound like a very glossy magazine. That’s great, but when something is happening, you don’t pick up a magazine to find out about it.”

Peter Jackson is making his hobbits and dwarves march doubletime in his “Lord of the Rings” prequel, which he’s shooting in a faster film speed than the Hollywood standard.

Jackson hopes the 48-framesa-second rate — twice the 24 frames that has been the custom since the 1920s — will help bring about a graduJackson al transition to faster speeds that can bring more lifelike images and action to the screen.

Digital cameras allow for shooting at 48 frames or faster, reducing the blurry effect, strobing, that can come with 24-frame filming.

“You shoot at 48, project at 48 and you get an illusion of life that’s remarkable. You don’t realize just how strobing and how flickery 24 frames is,” Jackson says.”

He’s hoping there will be a fair number of theaters equipped to handle the faster film speeds by December, when “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” is released. (AP) COMPILED BY FIONA ZUBLIN

Outlaw Country Steve Earle is perhaps best known these days for his acting on David Simon-created dramas: first, as an ex-junkie on “The Wire” and more recently as a street musician on “Treme.” But tonight he’ll be returning to music, playing a solo acoustic show filled with the Southern guitar work for which he really became famous.

The Wild North We figured out a way to make Restaurant Week acceptable to hip sensibilities: Go to the one in Baltimore. “Yeah, man, I go to this underground restaurant week — you’ve probably never heard of it.” Baltimore staples such as Jack’s and Helmand will be offering dinner for $30.12 or $20.12 (depending on the place), and some will have lunch menus for $15.12.

Standard restaurant week caveats (such as “Book your restaurants ASAP before they fill up!”) apply. Various locations; through Jan. 29; Baltimorerestaurantweek.com.

Poverty, Chastity, Beer Trappist monks, a Catholic order, are famous for their industriousness — they make and sell all kinds of goods, including jam, honey — and beer! Belga Café is hosting a three-course dinner tonight, accompanied by seven beers made under the watchful eyes of monks. The most mainstream Trappist beer is Chimay, which will be sampled, but keep your eye on the other six. Belga Café, 514 8th St. SE; 6:30 p.m., $59; 202-544-0100, Belgacafe.com. (Eastern Market)

As the second season of “Joan and Melissa” opens, famously foul-mouthed comic Joan Rivers, left, now lives in her daughter’s, right, basement. She thinks nothing of spouting obscenities around the grandson and wasting everybody’s time obsessing about yet another round of plastic surgery. It’s contrived and predictable, even by the low standards of this tired genre. KE VIN M;

The new series “All-Star Dealers” (8 p.m., Disc) focuses on sports collectibles and items belonging to famous athletes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) There is a problem to solve today, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the person who has found himself in over his head. You can help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can learn a great deal from walking in anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps. Take care that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose touch with yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be fooled by someone who is attempting to force himself on you in some way. You know where you really stand.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Describe yourself and your plans with great care; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be understood right from the outset.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pay attention to details today, and see if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discern a pattern developing. Some things mean more than you assume.
