Interracial Marriage Rates Soar Study: Relationships climb to 4.8M as old stereotypes diminish MWi^_d]jed Interracial marriages in the U.S. have climbed to 4.8 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a record 1 in 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a steady flow of new Asian and Hispanic immigrants expands the pool of prospective spouses. Blacks are now substantially more likely than before to marry whites.

A Pew Research Center study, released Thursday, details a diversifying America where interracial unions and the mixed-race children they produce are challenging typical notions of race.

Virginia leads the nation in the percentage of marriages between blacks and whites, the study shows, barely four decades after state laws criminalizing interracial marriage were struck down by the Supreme Court. And one in ďŹ ve new married couples in Washington, D.C., crossed racial and ethnic lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rise in interracial marriage indicates that race relations

But the biggest differences are between different races and ethnicities. The share of whites who marry â&#x20AC;&#x153;outâ&#x20AC;? of their race has more than doubled since 1980, to 9 percent. The percentage of blacks who marry non-blacks has more than

tripled, to 17 percent. Asians and Hispanics have the highest rates of intermarriage, with more than a quarter of all Asian newlyweds marrying a non-Asian.

According to the study, about 15 percent of new marriages in 2010 crossed racial or ethnic lines, double the rate just three decades ago.

Intermarriages comprise 8 percent of all marriages now, up from just 3 percent in 1980. HOPE YEN (AP) AND CAROL MORELLO (THE WASHINGTON POST )

U.S. Factories Roar Back to Life Manufacturers boast best month in years, boosting economy

EXWcW Jekji H[ikh][dY[ President Obama is using the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing to make an economic case for his re-election, touring factory floors and promoting a made-in-America message that seemed to fit his political campaign like, as it turned out Wednesday in Milwaukee, lock and key. Obama called for tax cuts for American manufacturers and higher taxes for companies that move overseas, pressing what he hopes will be a winning campaign issue. (AP)

MWi^_d]jed American factories are humming — and driving the economy forward.

Manufacturers have been hiring more consistently than other employers, for jobs with betterthan-average pay. They just had their best month of growth in five years. And more factory output has raised demand in some other industries, such as shipping, leading to further hiring.

“The manufacturing sector is on a tear,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.

No one thinks manufacturing

will return to its 1950s peak. After all, the factory sector now makes up barely one-tenth of the economy. But since the recession ended more than 2½ years ago, factories have been contributing disproportionately to the recovery in hiring and the overall economy.

A big reason, economists say, is that individuals and businesses

are making major purchases they delayed during the Great Recession and its aftermath.

“Manufacturing has punched above its weight, but that’s because it was punched in the stomach in the recession,” said Michael Montgomery, a senior economist at IHS Global Insight. CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER (AP)

Defiant Iran Touts Nuclear Gains Officials hint at cuts to oil exports amid international dispute

7YYki[Z e\ 7]]h[ii_ed In the past two decades, Iran has been accused of having its hand in a series of attacks on Western targets across the world. (THE WASHINGTON POST ) CWhY^ '//(

J[^hWd" ?hWd In defiant swipes at its foes, Iran said Wednesday it is dramatically closer to mastering the production of nuclear fuel even as the U.S. weighs tougher pressures and Tehran’s suspected shadow war with Israel brings probes far beyond the Middle East.

Iran further struck back at the West by indicating it was on the verge of imposing a midwinter fuel squeeze to Europe in retaliation for a looming boycott of Iranian oil, but denied reports that six nations had already been cut off.

But the uncompromising messages from Iran came with a counterpoint. The official IRNA news agency said Iran’s top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, told EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton that Iran is ready to renew talks.

The dual strategy — taking nuclear steps while proposing more talks — has become a hallmark of

In a live TV broadcast, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was shown overseeing what was described as the first Iranian-made fuel rod inserted into a reactor in northern Tehran. Separately, the semiofficial Fars agency reported that a “new generation” of Iranian centrifuges, used to enrich uranium toward nuclear fuel, had gone into operation in central Iran.

In Washington, the assistant secretary of state for International Security and Nonproliferation, Tom Countryman, dismissed the Iranian claims of reaching a pivotal moment. “The announcement today by Iran has much more to do with political developments in Iran than it has to do with factual developments,” he said.

As Syrian forces stepped up their assault Wednesday on rebellious cities, President Bashar Assad ordered a referendum on Feb. 26 on a new constitution that would create a multiparty system in a country that has been ruled by his family dynasty for 40 years.

Such a change would have been unheard of a year ago, and Assad’s regime is touting the new constitution as the centerpiece of reforms aimed at calming Syria’s upheaval.

But after 11 months of bloodshed,

with well beyond 5,000 dead in the regime’s crackdown, Assad’s opponents say the referendum and reforms are not enough.

The White House also dismissed the referendum. Press secretary Jay Carney called the move “laughable” in light of ongoing brutality by the Syrian military.

The U.N. General Assembly will vote Thursday on an Arabsponsored resolution condemning human rights violations by the Syrian regime and backing an Arab League plan that calls for Assad to cede power. (AP)

Court files say transit agency has settled most of the cases MWi^_d]jed Metro and three equipment makers have admitted liability in the deadliest train crash in the transit authority’s history, according to court filings.

Metro, Alstom Signaling, Ansaldo STS USA and ARINC said they “will stipulate to liability” at the trials in the remaining cases to “avoid the significant risks and costs associated with litigating those highly-contested and tech-

nical issues,” according to documents filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the District.

The liability admission was first reported by the Washington Examiner.

The accident on June 22, 2009, killed nine people and left dozens injured. After the crash, Metro, its board and the Tri-State Oversight Committee — the group responsible for monitoring safety — came under harsh criticism from safety investigators, lawmakers and federal transportation officials. The court documents say that “the only issue for trial is determining the amount of compensatory damages” for four of the remaining plaintiffs.

The June 22, 2009, Red Line crash that killed nine was Metro’s deadliest ever.

The transit agency has settled seven of the nine death cases, according to Patrick Regan, lead attorney for one of the victims.

The settlement amounts are confidential, Metro officials and attorneys for the families said.

Regan said there was “overwhelming evidence” that there was “reckless, careless and neglect” in the cases. “They’re doing the inevitable,” he said of admitting liability and of the settlements. “We had overwhelming evidence that all were at fault and this accident should never have happened.”

Four cases that are left involve the relatives of two people killed and two people who were injured.

They could go to trial in the next two months but could still settle, attorneys for the families said.

Marriage Debate Delayed Md. House will talk about same-sex nuptials on Thursday 7ddWfeb_i" CZ$ Advocates on both sides of the same-sex marriage debate in Maryland scrambled Wednesday to lobby a small number of wavering delegates as the start of debate on the House floor was put off until Thursday.

On Wednesday morning, the legislation was “laid over,” a common procedural move to allow more time to draft proposed amendments.

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley waged a Valentine’s Day charm offensive on other shaky parts of his legislative agenda Tuesday. In appearances before two legislative panels, the governor pressed his case for an unpopular tax hike on gasoline and for costly environmental efforts that he billed as critical for the state to move toward a “cleaner, greener” future. The governor also cast in sweeping terms his plan to force every electricity ratepayer in the state to share in the cost of subsidizing development of an offshore wind farm. (T WP)

Lawmakers expect a very close vote by Friday on the bill sponsored

by Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat. It will take 71 votes to pass in the 141-member House.

On Tuesday, a pair of House panels jointly voted 25-18 to send the bill to the f loor. If passed, Maryland would join the District and seven other states in allowing gay nuptials.

Supporters, who hailed the measure as an advance in equal rights, said they were cautiously optimistic it would pass the full House — where a similar bill died last year after narrowly clearing the Senate. JOHN WAGNER A ND A A RON C. DAV IS

The large field of candidates to replace former D.C. Council member Harry Thomas Jr. has been narrowed slightly.

Eighteen candidates have filed petitions to appear on the ballot in the May 15 election. The winner will fill the Ward 5 seat left vacant when Thomas resigned last month. Twenty-five candidates had declared their candidacy, but seven either withdrew or did not submit petitions

by Wednesday’s deadline.

Election officials will now work to verify those petitions, which must include signatures from 500 Ward 5 voters. (AP)

ANDREW SHURTLEFF/THE DAILY PROGRESS/AP

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$

Family and friends of George Huguely’s walk near the Charlottesville courthouse, where his attorneys began to make their case Wednesday. He’s accused of killing Yeardley Love.

Morbid Obsession George Huguely’s trial fits the profile of what keeps Americans hooked MWi^_d]jed In a famous essay about crime and the British press, George Orwell identified the kinds of murder cases that excited the news media and titillated the public. The victims, he wrote, tended to be middle-class; the alleged perpetrators were seemingly respectable members of the community; the Love motives were typically sexual or romantic in nature. And the cases left ample room to speculate about the outcome.

That was another time (1946) and another place (postwar Britain), but the enormous media atten-

tion accorded the George Huguely-Yeardley Love murder trial in Charlottesville, Va., suggests not much has changed.

Huguely, 24, is on trial in the first-degree murder of Love, a 22-year-old with whom he had been romantically involved while they were lacrosse players at the University of Virginia. Prosecutors allege that Huguely murdered Love in a rage about the demise of their relationship. He has pleaded not guilty.

Huguely’s prosecution hasn’t quite turned into another trial of the century — think O.J. Simpson or Casey Anthony. In part, this is because Judge Edward Hogshire has clamped down on press coverage and banned TV cameras from his courtroom.

Nevertheless, the trial has been a huge media draw. More than 200 reporters, photographers and TV producers are credentialed to cover it, said Ric Barrick, a spokesman for the city of Charlottesville.

Why, in a nation that averages more than 15,000 murders a year, do a few crimes or trials gain such attention?

The answer may be in Orwell’s basic formulation, with a few contemporary American wrinkles thrown in.

First, to build sustained interest over the many weeks of an investigation and trial, the outcome must

be in doubt, says Scot Safon, executive vice president of the HLN cable network. In Huguely’s case, the question is whether he is guilty of first-degree murder.

Safon denies the widespread suspicion that such factors as the race, wealth, age and looks of the victim or the accused are critical.

But the record of recent years suggests otherwise.

“Race, gender, youth and attractiveness are all factors in whose stories are found to be media-worthy,” said Sheri L. Parks, an American studies professor at the University of Maryland. In Love’s case,

?d j^[ FkXb_Y ;o[0 Most of the media spectacles surrounding crime and punishment in America over the past 30 years have involved at least one of these elements: young white women, celebrities or wealthy people. A short list of the most notorious trials includes those of (from left) Casey Anthony; O.J. Simpson; Scott Peterson; and Amanda Knox; and Dr. Conrad Murray (not shown), who was convicted last year of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson (whose trial on child molestation charges was a 2005 sensation). Similar media interest surrounded the trials of Martha Stewart and Bernie Madoff for financial crimes. (T WP)

The defense for George Huguely began its presentation Wednesday after prosecutor Dave Chapman rested.

Chapman called about 50 witnesses in support of the prosecution’s claims that 22-year-old Yeardley Love died on May 3, 2010, as a result of blunt force trauma due to a battering by Huguely, 24. A defense witness, however, told the court that Huguely’s ex-girlfriend suffocated while she lay face down on a pillow in her bedroom. (AP)

she said, “the vigorous young athlete turns into the imperiled damsel in distress.”

Huguely, 24, and Love, 22, both students at the University of Virginia, fit the media template almost perfectly. She was an attractive young white woman, a promising student and athlete. Huguely is the handsome, athletic scion of a wealthy family with deep roots in the Washington area.

James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University, points out that the media are often attracted to victims deemed vulnerable.

This explains why there’s enormous coverage of school shootings. It also lies behind the so-called Missing White Girl Syndrome, in which the disappearance of young, middle-class white women — Chandra Levy, Elizabeth Smart, Natalee Holloway — attracts far more attention than similar cases involving men, women from minority backgrounds or older people.

Indeed, as in Orwell’s day, media interest is far from blind or equal. Last week, as Huguely went to trial with reporters in tow, a superior court jury in the District found 20-year-old Kwan Kearney guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting of Joseph Sharps Jr., a student at Spingarn High School, in 2010.

Never heard of Kearney or Sharps?

Mark Turgeon benched his best player again last week, for the good of the team.

Terrell Stoglin is a ghost with the ball in his hands, apt to disappear in an instant and materialize again suddenly in the vicinity the basket, flipping a wild shot toward the rim. Sometimes those shots fall. Often not.

From the sideline, the Maryland coach sees teammates open and calling in vain for the ball. Turgeon has implored Stoglin to find those teammates and incorporate them into the offense.

But he also needs Stoglin to score. He is, after all, the top scorer in the ACC, averaging 21.6 points per game. The next highest scorer on the team averages just 10.2.

This is the inherent conf lict that defines the relationship in their first season together. And it will largely define the final portion of the Terrapins’ season, with six games remaining, including Thursday against Boston College. The burden on Stoglin has been made heavier by the knee injury suffered last week by Pe’Shon Howard, Maryland’s primary ballhandler and the person best suited to rein in Stoglin’s recklessness.

Now Stoglin becomes the de facto point guard, under even more pressure to distribute the ball. He struggled in that role when Howard missed the season’s first nine games with a broken foot. But with Howard back, Stoglin’s progression had impressed the coach.

come,” Turgeon said last week before Howard went down. “From the first individual workout, I thought there’s no way I can coach this kid to where I said he’s really buying in and doing what he is supposed to be doing. So far, so good.”

Then came Howard’s latest injury. In the next game, against Duke on Saturday, Stoglin regressed. He struggled through a 4-for-16 shooting day and missed all six 3-point attempts. Turgeon benched him for a seven-minute stretch in the

second half. “His shot selection wasn’t great,” Turgeon said. “It was hurting us.”

Benching is a tactic the coach has employed at various times this season in an effort to instill in Stoglin discipline on offense and defense, as well as off the court. But after the loss at Duke, the sophomore aired his frustrations publicly.

“Loved sittin that bench today. . . . wow,” Stoglin tweeted.

Soon, though, he’d deleted that

tweet and hours later posted another: “Never tweet after a loss. not a bad dude just frustrated. Love terpnation! My fault.”

Maryland assistant coach Scott Spinelli this week said that Stoglin would not be punished for his tweet. Turgeon, he said, used the incident as a teaching moment.

“Sometimes, after a loss, everybody’s frustrated,” Spinelli said.

“He’s handled it and our team has accepted what he said and all is fine here.” DEREK TURNER

Lin Adds to His Legend Knicks have come to expect late heroics from the sudden star

J^[ <_hij <Wd

FRANK GUNN/ THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP

Fhe 8Wia[jXWbb Already writing the NBA’s best story, Jeremy Lin has now scripted a thrilling finish. Nothing about the kid from Harvard with Taiwanese roots should be a surprise anymore. When he launched a 3-pointer in a tie game with a half-second left in Toronto on Tuesday night, the result seemed obvious.

“I knew it was going in,” Knicks guard Iman Shumpert said.

Who would doubt it at this point? Lin’s 3-pointer capped his finishing f lurry of six-straight points to close the game as the Knicks rallied for a 90-87 victory over the Raptors, extending their winning streak to six.

5 Cities in Running for ’20 Games Ebocf_Yi Now that the Italian government has pulled the plug at the last minute on Rome’s Olympic bid, five remaining candidate cities must prove that they have the financial and political muscle to win the high-stakes race for the 2020 Games.

Italian Premier Mario Monti’s refusal to provide financial support for Rome’s bid Tuesday ended the Eternal City’s hopes of bringing the Olympics back to the capital for the first time since 1960.

Five cities are left in the running: Madrid; Tokyo; Istanbul; Doha,

Qatar; and Baku, Azerbaijan.

The IOC will review the files before the executive board decides in May whether to accept all five cities or pare down the field. With six contenders, the IOC would likely have cut at least one. With five, the IOC could keep them all.

“I don’t think all of them will go to the final, maybe only three, maybe four,” IOC marketing commission chairman Gerhard Heiberg told the AP. “But five is excellent. All five are capable of hosting the games.”

The full IOC will select the host city in Buenos Aires in September 2013. (AP)

“Linsanity” has descended on the White House. Spokesman Jay Carney says President Obama is tracking the exploits of Jeremy Lin, the Knicks’ sudden star. Carney says Lin’s game-winning 3-pointer at the end of Tuesday’s game against Toronto was the subject of conversation with Obama aboard Marine One on Wednesday morning. Carney says Lin’s success is “just a great story,” a sentiment that the president agrees with. (AP)

Booker Fills Holes for Wizards Forward’s versatility pays dividends with Blatche sidelined Considering the inconsistency shown at times by their main pieces, the Wizards have been in dire need of their complementary parts to step up and take on bigger roles, especially with the club in the midst of an exhausting five-game, eightday road trip. Perhaps no Wizard has attacked that task as head-on as Trevor Booker.

With starting forward Andray Blatche sidelined with a calf injury, the 6-foot-8 Booker, a secondyear forward, has emerged as a versatile option for the Wizards as a low-post option and a swingman, someone whose hustle and work rate never seems to wane.

Trevor Booker is shooting 56 percent from the field this year for the Wizards.

He seems well-adjusted to the expanded minutes as part of his new role. Booker has played at least 39 minutes in three of his last five games after not topping that mark once all season.

“I feel pretty comfortable,” Booker said. “Just trying to give my team whatever they need.”

Booker’s top performance to date was his 13-point, 15-rebound double-double against the Miami Heat last Friday, and he’s been stuffing the stat sheet in different ways over the last few weeks.

His 56 percent shooting from the field is the most efficient of anyone on the Wizards, and he went on a five-game stretch spanning the end of January and beginning

of February in which he averaged 2.2 blocks per game.

Booker attributes the evolution of his game to his short, yet productive, move to Israeli club Bnei Hasharon, where he served as the team’s top player during the NBA lockout.

“It was brief, but it did help me out, because I was the main player on the team,” Booker said. “I was the go-to guy. With [Blatche] out, we need somebody else to look to scoring-wise, and I’m trying to fill that role as good as I can.” AVI CREDITOR

The Wizards have shown vast improvement during their five-game road trip and achieved a couple of milestones in the process. Wins on Sunday and Tuesday over Detroit and Portland, Ore., respectively, marked the first consecutive road wins by at least 15 points in team history. Forward Rashard Lewis, coming off a knee injury, eclipsed the 15,000-point mark for his career against the Pistons, too.

‘Trouble Man’ Sounds Right Though T.I. has been in and out of prison since 2009, the Atlantabased hip-hop superstar’s career hasn’t slowed. He’s still putting out albums (2010’s “No Mercy”) and acting in films (“Takers,” with Matt Dillon, also released that year). Most recently, he’s starred in his own VH1 reality show, “T.I. and Tiny,” which follows the rapper at home with his wife, Tiny, and their many children. But fear not: He’ll turn his attention back to the tunes soon.

His eighth album, “Trouble Man,” is due this summer. It sounds good, too: The first single, “I’m Flexin’,” features a guest spot by ascendant rhymer Big K.R.I.T. Love, 1350 Okie St. NE; Sat., 9 p.m., table reservations required; 202-746-1746, Lovetheclub.com.

Author Jamal Joseph, coming to Politics and Prose on Thursday, looks back at a revolutionary journey in his new book, “Panther Baby.” ;-

When he’s not performing as part of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Nils Lofgren is an accomplished guitarist in his own right, with dozens of albums to his name.

His latest release, “Old School,” is a diverse mix of songs that show off the strummer’s virtuosic skill — the disc’s haunting ballads balanced by searing electric guitars. Live, expect the 60-year-old Lofgren to invite some of his closest friends onstage for a show that’s sure to be more jam session than concert.

Strathmore celebrates a local legend’s life with music and dance events

The legendary Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington played his first gig nearly a century ago at U Street’s True Reformer hall, across the street from where Ben’s Chili Bowl now sits.

“He played there, then came home and showed his mother the 25 cents” he had earned, says John Edward Hasse, curator of American music at the National Museum of American History, who will participate in a discussion on the composer Saturday. “I like to think of him as D.C.’s greatest son, in a city where most people who achieve greatness are not born here, but come here,” he says of Ellington, who was born in Washington in 1899.

From that 25-cent performance, Ellington eventually became one of America’s greatest composers, bandleaders and orchestrators. And now he’s the focus of the “Discover Ellington” festival at the Music Center at Strathmore. All month long, Strathmore has been presenting lectures and concerts exploring what has made Ellington so important to American music and still so compelling to contemporary audiences. The series culminates with a selection of special performances this weekend.

Duke Ellington ran into some controversy before the Washington premiere of his 1965 piece, “David Danced Before the Lord With All His Might.” The religiously themed work — the title comes from the Old Testament — had elements that concerned local pastors. “Instead of a drummer creating rhythm, dancers create the rhythm with their feet,” says John Edward Hasse, curator of American music for the National Museum of American History. Because of the dancing and the fact that Ellington was fusing jazz with worship, “it raised a bunch of eyebrows, and the Baptist Ministers Association of Washington refused to endorse it.” You can see this scandalous piece (with local dancers the Manzari Brothers, above, sharing the shocking tap role) as part of “Ellington: A Sacred Concert,” on Sunday at 4 p.m. K.P.K.

everybody loves. It’s party music — and that’s what [Ellington] did.”

This kind of adaptation is a fitting way to celebrate Ellington’s oeuvre. He had a unique way of notating his works — that is, how he wrote the music down for the members of his band. “He found ways to figure out what each [musician] did best and wrote pieces to feature them, to bring out their best and suppress their weakness,” says Hasse. “It’s very unusual for a composer to know exactly whom he or she is writing for, but in Ellington’s case, almost without exception, every piece he composed was written for people he knew. He’d write it in the afternoon and play it that night.”

Ellington was also the rare performer of his era who was loved by both black and white audiences. He’d spend one night playing in the jazz halls on U Street, and the next day “he was playing for foxhunts out in Virginia,” says Hasse. The range of the music he composed helped him reach a broader audience. “Of course he wrote three-minute instrumentals; he wrote songs; he wrote these long concert pieces; he wrote sacred works; he wrote film scores, scores for ballet; he wrote for Broadway,” Hasse says.

“He wrote for a wide variety of media and did it all in his immutable way.”

How do you have time for all this?

Sometimes I think, “What have I gotten myself into?” But I always say it’s nice to have it to [complain] about.

If it weren’t happening, I’d be saying, “Nobody wants me! Nobody loves me!”

Do you have time to practice?

For me, the work becomes the study.

It’s what I love about what I do. To be doing a TV show and then to be doing an Ellington show — they’re really all kind of the same thing, but they are different, and it keeps itself fresh.

What made you want to do this Ellington concert?

I was raised on Duke Ellington. My father had been in a jazz band since he was a teen, and on Saturday and Sunday mornings, he would get up really early and put on albums by Duke Ellington and Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald.

Is he excited you’re doing this show?

I think it may be more special for me.

This is a way to connect with my dad.

“Memories” includes photos, letters and other important documents of Pollock’s. Many of the items counter his commonly known persona as a serious, macho Westerner. (In fact, Pollock moved east when he was 18.) One contact sheet of photos shows him holding his pet crow, Caw-Caw; in others, he’s posed casually with family and friends.

“I think it might surprise people to know that he smiled,” Harrison says.

H[Wb_ij_Y ?cfh[ii_edi Artist Jackson Pollock’s personal papers give a nuanced look at his life ;n^_X_ji “Just a few lines to tell you that my seven year old son Manning couldn’t get over your picture Number Nine,” begins a 1949 letter to Jackson Pollock, America’s bestloved abstract impressionist, known for his paint-splattered canvases. “Frankly, it looked like some of his finger painting at school to me. He insisted that I write you to tell you that he cut it out of the ‘Life’

and put it in his scrapbook.”

The note, written by Helen K. Sellers of Charleston, S.C. (and accompanied by a photo of Manning holding his cocker spaniel, Snafu), made it into Pollock’s personal papers. Apparently saved for posterity, the letter now has a much wider audience as part of the “Memories Arrested in Space” exhibit at the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art (inside the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture), a tribute marking the centennial of Pollock’s birth.

“This is not really about looking at his art; it’s about looking at his life,” says Helen A. Harrison, director of the Pol-

8WYaijeho The show takes its name from a few lines Jackson Pollock jotted on the back of a photograph of himself at work, in which he emphasizes that his compositions aren’t accidental. “It’s very poetic for Jackson Pollock,” says Liza Kirwin, acting director of the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art.

Pollock’s career was short: Only 12 years elapsed between his first solo show and his last. He died in 1956 at the age of 44 in a car crash. “Memories” covers his entire life, from his California childhood to his New York City years to his struggles with depression and alcoholism. Examples of his correspondence with art dealers Peggy Guggenheim and Betty Parsons are on display, as is a 1949 issue of Life that contained the first color review of Pollock’s work. “He was such a great story for the media.

They could call him Jack the Dripper,” says Mary Savig, an archives specialist at the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art. Even after his death, “Pollock was a lightning rod,” Savig says, causing some, like Sellers, to second-guess their definition of art. It looks like her son had the last laugh.

There he earned two college degrees; wrote poems and plays; and organized acting workshops. “I realized how art and education can bring people together,” he says. “If you could do it in this desperate setting, then maybe this was a way you could continue the struggle.”

Ancient Egyptians were devoted to the idea of an afterlife. So, it’s symbolically appropriate that the National Museum of Natural History’s “Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt” exhibition has had two lives.

Jamal Joseph’s long list of awards and accomplishments includes an Academy Award nomination. He received the nod in 2008 for cowriting the original song “Raise It Up” for the film “August Rush.” He performed the number with students from his New York City-based Impact Repertory Theater at the awards ceremony — though the song lost to “Falling Slowly,” by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.

COURTESY ALGONQUIN BOOKS

When 15-year-old Eddie Joseph joined the Black Panthers in 1968, he expected to receive a gun and orders to start the revolution. Martin Luther King Jr. had recently been assassinated, and Joseph’s Harlem neighborhood was in turmoil. However, at his first Panthers meeting, the teenager was issued a stack of books and a spatula. He was ordered to serve the community.

Serve them pancakes, specifically.

“When I came to the Panthers, I found out my days were going Joseph to be filled with stuff like working the free breakfast program,” says Joseph, who changed his first name to Jamal upon joining the party. “We learned that you organized people around their needs. J. Edgar Hoover [said] the most dangerous program the Black Panther Party had was the breakfast program, because it was reaching so many people.”

In his new memoir, “Panther Baby: A Life of Rebellion and Reinvention,” Joseph emphasizes the Panthers’ community service and social activism. His primary duties included working at a free clinic, organizing clothing drives and busting up dope houses.

But the harsh reality of revolutionary life also comes through. In April 1969, Joseph was arrested as one of the “Panther 21” on charges of conspiracy and spent a year in jail. Later, he was charged with harboring fugitives and spent six years in prison at Leavenworth, Kan.

Joseph is also a film professor and archivist at Columbia University — which he acknowledges is ironic, considering he once urged students and radicals to burn the campus down. He is currently on sabbatical promoting “Panther Baby” and hopes to start production on a film adaptation later this year, with himself in the director’s chair.

The film, he says, will focus on the book’s coming-of-age story. “Joining the Panthers was as much about the search for manhood — how to be a man in the turbulent 1960s — as it was about the ideology of the party.” STEPHEN M.

What’s New Eight new cases illuminate the process in which Egyptians prepared their dead for the world beyond.

There are mystical amulets, decorated masks, mummified animals and stunning sarcophagi.

Good to Know Egyptians would prepare animals for the great beyond, in part, as offerings to the gods. But sacrifices became so rampant — hundreds of thousands of falcons and more than 1.5 million ibis birds have been found mummified — that some species became extinct.

In 2007, playwright Paul Downs Colaizzo, then 21, set out to write something explaining the mindset of his generation. What he came up with was “Really Really,” currently in its world-premiere run at the Signature Theatre. A savvy and sad play, it tells the story of a group of college students trying to balance relationships, ambitions — and the aftermath of a party at which a violent crime may have occurred.

The characters are both confused and driven souls, certain that they have to figure out what they want in order to get it but terrified of picking the wrong goal or of losing

themselves along the way. It’s an ofthe-moment piece that’s ostensibly about Millennials — even though the current crop of 20-somethings is hardly the first generation to deal with these issues.

“It speaks to people on levels I didn’t imagine,” says Colaizzo, who’s surprised that older theatergoers have told him that his play speaks to their own youthful experiences. “Going into the rehearsal process, I was thinking, ‘This is going to be an exploration of this

generation.’ And then, from the first day of previews, I was learning that older audiences relate to it. People have said, ‘That was me when I was in college.’”

If Colaizzo was initially concerned about the play’s appeal to older audiences, it wasn’t just about a potential generation gap. “Really Really” is graphic and profane, full of sex and anger — unusual for the Signature, which just wrapped a cheerful production of “Hairspray” and is known mostly for producing musicals.

“Coriolanus” director and star Ralph Fiennes, center, transplanted Shakespeare’s story to a modern-day, unnamed country.

KfZWj_d] =Wc[ >em Ze oek cWa[ I^Wa[if[Wh[ more accessible

to modern audiences? Lose the tights. That’s the strategy used in “Coriolanus,” opening Friday.

Ralph Fiennes directed, adapted and stars in this take on a little-known, incredibly violent work by the Bard. In the original play, Roman general Caius Marcius Coriolanus is betrayed by his friends. As one does, he then turns against Rome and leads an assault on the city. Fiennes moved the action to an unnamed, modern-day country but kept the language. It’s technique often used to bring Shakespeare to the big screen, as seen in these other adaptations. K RISTEN PAGE-K IRBY (E X PRES S)

One of the best modern settings of Shakespeare, this movie brings the play to pre-WWII Britain and adds Nazis. Ian McKellen plays the hunchbacked king who lets nothing (including two little boys who precede him to the throne) stand in his way. Especially notable is Annette Bening’s performance as Queen Elizabeth, to whom Richard proposes over her husband’s casket — the husband that he had killed. The modern setting reminds audiences that such an unquenchable thirst for power isn’t a historical anomaly and can show up anywhere, at any time.

>Wcb[j (&&& Ethan Hawke, above, is the melancholy Dane in this uneven adaptation, which moves the entire setting to New York, makes Elsinore castle a hotel and puts Claudius (Kyle MacLachlan) in charge of the “Denmark Corporation.” Bringing the tragedy into a modern setting allowed Hawke to make his Hamlet more active and accessible to modern audiences, who often wonder why the prince doesn’t just quit monologuing and do something.

If you’re looking to keep the magic of Valentine’s Day going, the Alliance Francaise de Washington might be able to help. It’s showing a selection of the best French short films of 2011. (What? Some people find French short films romantic.) These shorts have been voted on by French-film professionals who call themselves Les Lutins du Court-Métrage, which translates to “the Leprechauns of Short Film.” (We are not making this up.) We haven’t seen any of the films, but some titles sound epic, like “Enterrez nos chiens” (or “Bury Our Dogs”) and “Birds Get Vertigo, Too.” The French Short Film Festival’s showings on Friday include entrance to the Hillwood mansion and the opportunity to see the current art exhibit, “The Style That Ruled the Empires: Russia, Napoleon and 1812.” Thu.-Sun., free, Léa Seydoux and Arthur Igual in “Petit Tailleur” (2010), which screens Sunday.

Cage Unmatched “GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE,” opening Friday, is a sequel no one wanted. It’s hard to believe, but there was a time when Nicolas Cage starred in movies that didn’t involve a flaming skull and were good. K.P.K.

COLUMBIA PICTURES

Baz Luhrmann’s frenetic retelling of the story of teenagers doomed for lack of texting (it would have been more practical than waiting on a monk to deliver a letter) is so effective that actual high schoolers like it. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes imbue the title characters with the naïveté that comes with first love and the stubborn, I-knowI’m-right mentality that comes with being a teen. Some of the best moments, though, are the little winks Luhrmann adds to the text — guns are named after the play’s original weapons (Tybalt carries a 9mm “Rapier”), and the service that fails to get that letter to Romeo is a telegram service named “Post Haste.”

reservations recommended; locations and times vary; see Francedc.org for info.

Cage’s performance as H.I. in this Coen brothers masterpiece combines incredible comic timing with a deep sense of pathos. We only hope that when Cage dies, the Oscars use the shot of him with panty hose on his head during the Montage of the Dead.

( Leaving Las Vegas (1995) He shouldn’t have won the Best Actor Oscar this year (it should’ve gone to Sean Penn for “Dead Man Walking”), but his work as a writer out to drink himself to death makes up for at least one of the “National Treasure” movies.

) Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) Credited as Nicolas Coppola (his uncle is Francis Ford), Cage was up for the role of Brad Hamilton but lost to Judge Reinhold. Instead, he’s one of the guys who stumble out of Spicoli’s smoke-filled van.

* Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) Cage is best when he gets to be funny and in love. Here, he plays a man who just doesn’t get that his high school girlfriend is actually his ex-wife from the future. It makes sense in the movie.

+ Adaptation (2002) Cage plays twins Charlie and Donald Kaufman in this mind-bender from writer Charlie Kaufman, who is not Nic Cage. It makes sense in the movie.

TEA LEAF GREEN

–Brightest Young Things

>;O" IEKB I?D=;H0 Tea Leaf Green (which is led by singer Trevor Garrod, far left) is ostensibly a jam band, but the group’s songs always have felt more Elton John than Phish. Perhaps it’s because Garrod, who plays piano, has such a soulful voice and a knack for songwriting that some of his jam-friendly peers lack. See for yourself at 9:30 Club on Saturday night.

Corcoran Gallery of Art: For their first exhibition in the United States, Australian artists Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro will explore the aspiration of space travel with the necessity of food consumption. Working with statistics related to food, beverages and household goods, the artistic duo propose to physically illustrate what an astronaut — consuming only the goods of the “everyman” — would require on a journey to Mars. At the conclusion of the exhibition, the contents of the display will be given away, creating an event to highlight existing cycles of production, consumption and distribution, through March 11. “Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro: Are We There Yet?,” the Australian artists show how much food, calculated with statistics, it would take for an astronaut to remain wellfed during a journey to Mars, through March 11. “Shadows of History: Photographs of the Civil War From the Collection of Julia J.

The brioche bread pudding ($8) at this Frenchified Adams Morgan brasserie is speckled with bourbon-soaked raisins and drizzled with a rummy, creamy zabaglione custard sauce.

Executive chef Yomi Faniyi starts with golden cubes of brioche loaf, which he drenches with eggs, milk, heavy cream and vanilla.

After baking this base, he pours on the zabaglione, which he fires with a blowtorch to give it a golden crème brûlée-styled crust. A flurry of powdered sugar, a sprig of mint and a few fresh berries finish off the plate. “It’s a very tasteful, winterish dessert,” says Faniyi, “a nice way to warm the belly on a cold day.”

You don’t expect to find bread pudding on the menu at a pan-Asian sushi restaurant, but that’s kind of the point. “We wanted to steer clear of green tea and mochi [sweetened rice cake],” says culinary director Avinesh Rana. The orange bread pudding ($8) does incorporate the sweet white miso (finely ground fermented grains), though, which ties together traditions from around the world. Sitting on a sliver of bamboo leaf, the citrusinfused, croissant-based dessert is complemented by a dollop of rum raisin ice cream and a slender swipe of miso caramel sauce.

Pastry chefs get busy baking, and the proof is in the bread pudding

Againn

9^[\i iec[j_c[i ^Wl[ W fheXb[c j^hem_d] \eeZ WmWo$ As far back as ancient Egypt, cooks

were salvaging leftover loaves by turning them into dessert. These days, bread pudding — a spongy treat often bound together with an eggy cream sauce, dotted with fruits or other sweet morsels, and baked golden — is less about recycling and more about reinvention. “It’s incredibly versatile,” says Maris Justusson, the pastry chef at Againn. “I’ve done tons of flavors, from eggnog to chocolate-peanut butter to banana.” With so many options, bread pudding is one dessert that doesn’t get stale.

Corporate executive chef Demetrio Zavala loves to experiment with bread pudding at this American eatery, switching up the flavors every season. For his latest version ($8), he’s using Hubbard squash and a mélange of warming spices such as clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg.

“It’s like pumpkin pie in a bread pudding,” he says. The brioche-based sweet comes as a trio of rectangular sticks, which can be dipped into a pumpkin puree-infused crème anglaise or a scoop of homemade eggnog ice cream.

When seasonal fresh fruit is in short supply, Justusson turns to her cupboard at this English gastropub for inspiration. Working with dried ingredients, she created a cranberry-almond brioche bread pudding topped off with a scoop of homemade milk chocolate ice cream and drenched with amIs’t aretto crème anglaise ($8). To boost the nutty notes, she swirls marzipan-like almond paste into the spongy pudding. You can amplify the almond even further by ordering a glass of amaretto on the side. “People look to bread pudding when they want something comforting,” says Justusson. “When they see that on the menu, they think, ‘Yes! That will make me feel great at the end of the meal.’”

Pork Barrel BBQ offers St. Louis pork ribs with macaroni and cheese, a black-eyed pea-based dip and coleslaw with bell peppers.

HALLELUJAH

?jÊi Icea_dÊ Æ Dej Where other barbecue spots might try to distinguish themselves with proprietary rubs or mile-long beer lists, the new Pork Barrel BBQ is taking a different tack.

“We wanted to be a little more cosmopolitan than the traditional barbecue joints,” says Bill Blackburn, a co-owner of the tidy, window-wrapped restaurant in the Del Ray section of Alexandria.

Hence the full-service soapstone bar, flanked by a stack of wood that is ornamental rather than a source of fuel, and a roster of 20 sodas that celebrates the “old” and the “weird,” as the restaurateur puts it. The drinks, kept cool in ice

troughs, include such regional treasures as Moxie, a cola from New England; Dang!, a root beer from Milwaukee; and Big Red, the popular cream soda chaser for barbecue in Texas.

The meat — pulled pork, brisket, beef sausage and more — emerges from a Southern Pride smoker that relies on a combination of oak, hickory and gas.

The sides — including baked beans, cucumber salad and collard greens — evolved from recipes tweaked by chef Will Artley, late of the nearby Evening Star Cafe.

The sauces originated from local barbecue mavens Heath Hall and Brett Thompson, former U.S. Senate staffers and co-owners of Pork Barrel BBQ. Go for the St. Louis pork ribs, admirable for their well-seasoned

meat that falls off the bone. The slab is best eaten in the company of the terrific coleslaw, punched up with bell pepper, and creamy macaroni and cheese that comes with a kick from chipotle and jalapeno.

Other meats have been less consistent, particularly the arid brisket that goes down like overcooked roast beef and needs a flavor infusion from one of the squirt bottles on the table. An unfortunate sweetness accompanies both the collard greens and soupy baked beans.

My preferred roost here is the big communal table made from reclaimed maple, which Blackburn says has received “more comments than anything in the restaurant.”

Zombiism 101 After a brief hiatus, “The Walking Dead” returned over the weekend with the second half of Season 2 (AMC, Sundays at 9 p.m.) and a promise from the new show runner to “amp up the intensity” of the popular zombie melodrama.

Eager to share with a loved one, I invited my wife to watch. Here’s what transpired.

A weirdly decaying girl staggers toward other people.

Wife: What is she?

8o CWhY Me: A zombie.

I_bl[h Wife: What are zombies? Are they from outer space?

Me: No, they are humans who are dead but not really dead, and they want to eat flesh.

Wife: Oh. Why is that woman crying?

Me: Life is sad when you’re surrounded by zombies.

A zombie is shot, then clubbed with a shovel.

Wife: Yuck. You know, watching this show is like a punishment. What are the redeeming qualities?

Me: It inspires me to go forth and do battle with zombie-like individuals who relentlessly annoy me, and to club them with a shovel if need be.

Wife: And they’ll rise up again.

Me: We’ll have to tune in next week to find out!

his underling, Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), whose little-engine-that-could progressivism drives her to find new ways for the department to serve Pawnee.

“Ron Swanson was designed in a two-dimensional way at the outset: Here’s our clear antagonist for this bright and shiny protagonist,” Offerman says.

In his hands, though, Ron gained a third dimension, emerging as a fully formed he-man, not a caricature.

As Offerman speaks, he looks very much like Ron. Ron’s proud bushy arc of a mustache is on full display, as are Ron’s arresting, if somehow simultaneously dreamy blue eyes. And the voice is unmistakably Ron’s — resolute and declarative — even if Offerman embroiders what he says with plummy chuckles Ron would never condone.

“I do love the outdoors; I do love woodworking,” says Offerman, who runs a woodworking shop (Offermanwoodshop.com). “But unlike

Nick Offerman embodies the zenith of manliness as ‘Parks and Recreation’ character Ron Swanson J[b[l_i_ed

The nature of manhood — understanding it, mastering it, faking it — keeps a hefty segment of men scrambling.

No wonder it fuels comedy. TV’s flock of men-in-doubt are relatable, even reassuring, to an audience of real-life men who share similar misgivings about their own manliness. But any viewer who seeks a masculine role model plagued by no breach of confidence or shortage of testosterone should look no further.

Behold: Ron Swanson of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” (Thursdays, 8:30 p.m.), the go-to guy for video virility.

Defiantly deadpan yet remarkably nuanced, Ron, played by Nick Offerman, is a pillar of male self-sufficiency.

Ron prizes meat, woodworking, facial hair and the least amount of government possible — which is funny since he’s a government official, director of the parks department in the Indiana town of Pawnee where “Parks” is set.

This puts him in regular conflict with

Ron, I get along in the modern world. ...

And I’m much goofier than he is.”

Like Ron, Offerman loves meat.

“I’ve never considered the merits of vegetarianism,” he says. “If Nick Offerman got the Meat Tornado” — an enormous dish Ron savored every bite of in one memorable episode — “HE probably wouldn’t finish it. But he’d enjoy the hell out of two-thirds of it.”

All he did, after all, was enroll in college at age 8 and earn his first of two associate degrees from East Los Angeles Community College in 2009 at age 11, graduating with a perfect 4.0 grade point average.

Now, at 14, he’s poised to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from UCLA this year. He’s also just pub-

lished an English edition of his first book, “We Can Do” ($21.95, Bookstand Publishing).

The 100-page guide explains how other young people can accom-

plish what he did through such simple acts as keeping themselves focused and approaching everything with total commitment.

He’s hoping it will show people

there’s no genius involved, just hard work.

“That’s always the question that bothers me,” Cavalin, who turned 14 on Valentine’s Day, says when the G-word is raised. “People need to know you don’t really need to be a genius. You just have to work hard and you can accomplish anything.”

And maybe cut out some of the TV. Cavalin says he limits his television time to four hours a week.

A key message of his book is to stay focused and to not take on any endeavor half-heartedly.

“I was able to reach the stars, but others can reach the ‘Milky Way,’” he tells readers. JOHN ROGERS (AP)

ÉHWocedZÊ Hekb[jj[ A writer gambles on remaking his hit sitcom in Russia Does humor travel well? .0&& Can it survive translation?

Should it? What’s the difference between the American sense of funny and humor abroad?

Viewers get answers to some of those questions in “Exporting Raymond,” a 2010 documentary about TV producer Phil Rosenthal and his efforts to supervise the creation of a Russian-language version of his hit show “Everybody Loves Raymond.”

On one hand, you would think that a show about a bickering couple with children living too close to the husband’s parents would have universal appeal. But Rosenthal is faced with Russian translations of his work that put great emphasis on the children, something CBS’ “Raymond” rarely did. >8E

Dr. Beale’s Medical Weight Loss Program “Everybody Loves Raymond” creator Phil Rosenthal ran into more trouble than he expected when he traveled to Russia to supervise a remake of the popular sitcom.

He quickly becomes embroiled in the politics of Russian show business. A network executive nixes his casting decision just to show Rosenthal who’s boss. Later, a coveted performer’s acting mentor talks his protege out of the Russian “Raymond” because he believes that appearing in a mere sitcom would be bad for his career, even his soul.

insight and looks into another society’s culture and sense of humor.

But too much of the film is filtered through Rosenthal, who often comes across as a little grumpy, self-important and less than curious about his hosts. Rather than open a window on Russian culture and television, “Exporting” offers yet another glimpse of Hollywood entitlement.

Our first PEEPS® DIORAMA CONTEST in April 2007 struck the hearts, minds and funny bones of our newsroom, the city and the nation. Since then, it’s become an annual tradition, growing bigger every year. And it’s that time once again.

To participate, make a diorama of a famous occurrence or scene. It can be a historic, current or future event, or it can be a nod to pop culture.

The one rule is that all characters in the diorama must be played by Peeps.

LA

R

Diorama photos due Feb. 27!

GHI If you don’t get it, you don’t get it.

THE PROCESS: • Photo submissions are due by Monday, Feb. 27, at 11:59 p.m., but keep your masterpiece intact after submission.

• We’ll choose five finalists based on originality and execution. Those dioramas will be picked up via courier and professionally photographed.

• The grand-prize winner will receive a $100 American Express gift check and a Peeps prize pack courtesy of Peeps & Company. Four runners-up will each receive a $50 American Express gift check and a Peeps prize pack.

Photos of the semi-finalists, finalists and winner will appear in The Washington Post Magazine on Sunday, April 1.

For inspiration, view last year’s finalists at www.washingtonpost.com/peeps

www.marshmallowpeeps.com No purchase necessary. Contest is open to anyone in the United States, but the five finalists must be residents of the District of Columbia, Maryland or Virginia. Contestants must be 13 years of age or older to enter. If you are under 13, please have a parent, guardian or teacher submit your entry. One entry per person. Employees of The Washington Post or their immediate families are not eligible to enter.

For complete rules, see www.washingtonpost.com/postfun.

XPE090 5x10.5

• Think of a scene. Possible extra credit may be given to those who deftly employ puns in their diorama concept or title.

• Make your diorama using a shoe box or comparable item of reasonable size. To be eligible for finalist standing, the diorama must be transportable to our office by one person.

• Take photos of your diorama from several angles. Then, go to washingtonpost.com/peeps to upload no more than two photos. Your pictures must be in jpeg format. You will also be asked to provide: • Your name, age and home town.

• The names, ages and home towns of anybody who contributed to the diorama.

• A phone number and e-mail address (not for publication).

• The title of your diorama and a blurb about its creation or significance.

“ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd found himself talking to a dial tone today on the Herd after Sports Illustrated cover model Kate Upton hung up on him following a series of invasive and creepy questions. ... It’s just the latest ridiculous misstep by a sports media personality after Darren Rovell’s creepy proposal to Upton yesterday on CNBC.” — TIMOTHY BURKE AT DEADSPIN. COM reacts to the awkward

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to carefully consider what is going on behind you today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but never stop looking forward as you do!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) An audacious plan can be put into motion today, and with a little luck it should sweep you into the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle in little time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may not be able to defend yourself with mere words, so you must be ready to commit to more. This conflict should be short-lived.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may have to dodge certain volleys of criticism today if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to remain confident and focus on what you have to do.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solution

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do things your own way today, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything in such a way that the authorities are tempted to curtail your efforts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to put things as simply as possible throughout the day. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to overcomplicate that which is complicated enough!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after change, but not just any change. What you must work for is the kind of thing that brings you the greatest number of options.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may have to do something that goes against the grain, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to get the forgiveness you seek when the time comes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are tempted to lay down the law to someone who is not in your charge. Take care you do not overstep your bounds.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received much that you had hoped for to date, but still you have the feeling that something is missing. Search close at hand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Public opinion will be in your favor throughout much of the day, but there are those who will lead a campaign against you, regardless.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You mustnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose your cool; focus on doing that which keeps your emotions in check and your mind on what really has to be done.

‘Hahahahahahaha!’ Is Quite the Overstatement

Warner Bros. Is Just Being Petty Warner Bros. attorneys have sent a cease-and-desist letter to Charlie Sheen regarding his use of photos from “Two and a Half Men,” TMZ.com reported. Sheen displayed the photos at a TV convention where he was promoting his new show, “Anger Management.” “That you are using Warner’s intellectual property for a commercial purpose — namely, to sell another show — is especially egregious,” the letter said.

Sony issued an apology to U.K. buyers after raising the price of two Whitney Houston albums by 60 percent on Saturday night, E! Online reported. Sony denies intentionally trying to profit from Houston’s death. “[The] Whitney Houston product was mistakenly mispriced on the U.K. iTunes store on Sunday,” the label said in a statement.

“When discovered, the mistake was immediately corrected. We apologize for any offense caused.” (EXPRESS)

A baby bump has a lot to compete with.

Kim Kardashian, 31, told Allure in a new interview that she’s considering carrying sister Khloe’s child. “Do I want kids of my own? Absolutely,” she said. “But I don’t know if that’s what’s meant for me. Maybe I’ll just work, work, work and not think about it.” Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian has been struggling to get pregnant. “Khloe joked with me and said, ‘Will you be my surrogate?’”

Kim said. “At 35, I promise I’ll consider it,” she told Allure. (EXPRESS)

Tooth loss is not your fault. Doing nothing about it is.

Come see how easy it is to live the comfortable life you deserve.
