‘New Rich’ Wield Broad Influence Washington Fully 20 percent of U.S. adults become rich for parts of their lives, wielding extensive influence over America’s economy and politics, according to new survey data.

These “new rich,” made up largely of older professionals, working married couples and more educated singles, are becoming politically influential, and economists say their capacity to spend is key to the U.S. economic recovery. But their rise is also a sign of the nation’s continuing economic polarization.

They extend well beyond the wealthiest 1 percent, a traditional group of super-rich millionaires and billionaires with long-held family assets. The new rich have household income of $250,000 or more at some point during their working lives, putting them — if sometimes temporarily — in the top 2 percent of earners.

The new survey data on the aff luent are being published in an upcoming book, and an analysis by The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research provided additional information on the

Reaching Affluence in America One in five Americans can expect to be in the ranks of the “new rich” — those making more than $100,000 a year — at some point in their lifetimes, according to new research.

Moving on Up Once concentrated in the oldmoney enclaves of the Northeast, the new rich are now spread across the U.S., mostly in bigger cities and their suburbs. They include Washington, D.C., Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Seattle. By race, whites are three times more likely to reach affluence than nonwhites. (AP)

views of the group.

In a country where poverty is at a record high, today’s new rich are notable for their sense of economic fragility. They rely on income from their work to maintain their social position and pay for things such as private tutoring for their children.

That makes them much more fiscally conservative than other Americans, polling suggests, and less likely to support public programs, such as food stamps or early public edu-

cation, to help the disadvantaged.

Last week, President Barack Obama asserted that growing inequality is “the defining challenge of our time,” signaling that it will be a major theme for Democrats in next year’s elections.

“In this country, you don’t get anywhere without working hard,” said James Lott, 28, a pharmacist in Renton, Wash., who adds to his $200,000 a year salary by daytrading stocks. The son of Nigerian immigrants, Lott says he was able to get ahead by earning an advanced pharmacy degree.

The new research suggests that affluent Americans are more numerous than government data depict, encompassing 21 percent of adults for at least a year by the time they turn 60. That proportion has more than doubled since 1979.

Sometimes referred to by marketers as the “mass affluent,” the new rich make up roughly 25 million U.S. households and account for nearly 40 percent of total U.S. consumer spending.

While paychecks shrank for most Americans after the recession, theirs held steady or edged higher. In 2012, the top 20 percent of U.S. households took home a record 51 percent of the nation’s income.

The median income of this group is more than $150,000. HOPE YEN (AP)

Ex-Lake Found on Mars Scientists: Ancient watering hole might have supported life Los Angeles NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered signs of an ancient freshwater lake on Mars, which scientists say could have been a perfect spot for tiny primitive organisms to flourish if they ever existed on the red planet.

The watering hole near the Martian equator existed about 3.5 billion years ago around the time when life evolved on Earth. Scientists say the Martian lake was neither salty nor acidic and contained life-friendly nutrients.

“This just looks like a pretty darn ordinary Earth-like lake in terms of its chemistry,” said project scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology. “If you were desperate, you could have a drink of this stuff.”

What’s Next for Curiosity Now that the $2.5 billion NASA mission has accomplished a main goal — finding if the Gale Crater was ever a habitable environment to life — attention has turned to the hunt for elusive carbon-based organic compounds that are fundamental to all living things. Before setting off on that search last summer, the Curiosity rover used its instruments to determine the age of a rock — the first time this has been achieved on another planet or celestial body. Another study released Monday showed that the rock was 4.2 billion years old — not entirely surprising since observations from space suggested the bedrock in the crater was that old. This knowledge should help the team find rocks in the foothills of Mount Sharp in the crater’s center that have not been too zapped by radiation, said mission scientist Ken Farley of Caltech. (AP)

The findings were published online Monday in the journal Science.

The lake, about the size of a small Finger Lake in upstate New York, likely was around for tens of thousands — perhaps hundreds of thousands — of years. Even when the lake dried up, scientists said microbes could have migrated underground and existed for potentially tens of millions of years.

Desperate to defuse Thailand’s deepening political crisis, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved parliament’s lower house on Monday and called early elections.

But protesters seeking to topple her vowed to carry on their fight, saying they cannot win the polls because of corruption.

A decree from King Bhumibol Adulyadej scheduled the elections for Feb. 2 and named Yingluck as interim prime minister until then.

The protesters demanded that she resign as caretaker and rejected the election date, putting the strongly royalist movement at odds with the royal decree.

Protest leader Suthep Thaugsub-

Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban has called on the prime minister to resign.

an, who faces an arrest warrant on insurrection charges, spoke to more than 150,000 followers at a stage outside Yingluck’s offices, challenging authorities to “Come get me!”

He claimed that his movement was assuming some functions of government, citing a clause in the constitution stating that “the highest power is the sovereign power of the people.”

“This means that from now on the people will appoint the prime minister of the people and appoint the government of the people,” he told the cheering crowd.

He said a new prime minister and a non-elected “people’s council” — which has no basis in the constitution — would work to end corruption in politics and keep Yingluck and her brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, from returning to power.

Yingluck announced the Parliament dissolution in a televised speech that broke into regular programming.

“We have given the power back to the people to decide and have elections according to the democratic system under the king,” she said. “We’ll let the people decide what path the majority wants to take, and Thailand will take that path to administering the country.” GR ANT PECK AND JINDA WEDEL (AP)

Md. Bike-Car Campaign Gears Up New push encourages ticketing for two- and four-wheel violators Annapolis MARKETING

Metro Defends Ads Metro officials defended an ad last week that many called sexist. The ad shows two women talking, with one woman mentioning the breakdown rate of Metrobuses, while the other woman responds, “Can’t we just talk about shoes?” Metro said it was just poking fun at itself for its “transitspeak.” (THE WASHINGTON POST )

With a growing number of cyclists taking to the streets, police in Maryland are being encouraged to crack down on road violators — of the bike and car persuasion.

A 33-minute video is being shown to state and local law enforcement officers as a primer or refresher on state laws intended to keep drivers and cyclists from colliding on the road.

(Created in conjunction with the

Maryland State Police, the video concludes with this message from the state’s bicycle coordinator: “The state of Maryland is strongly promoting the use of bicycles as a mode of transportation. We want everyone to have a safe riding experience.”)

The video is being presented to officers at meetings, at roll calls and in squad rooms. It outlines the legal responsibilities of people who take to the road on four wheels or two, and it encourages officers to lay down the law when cyclists and drivers violate those rules.

Cyclist deaths and injuries nationwide have increased each of the past three years. So has the friction between cyclists and drivers.

The Precedent History has shown that roadsafety campaigns fail dramatically unless police are motivated to enforce the laws. Seat belt use is a classic example. The “Buckle up for safety” campaign had minimal success in getting Americans to wear the belts, but the “Click it or ticket” effort, backed up by enforcement, has been successful. (T WP)

For example, the bike riders’ point of view was taken in a New York Times column that recently went viral on social media with the headline “Is It O.K. to Kill Cyclists?”

In conjunction with stepped-up enforcement, Maryland officials are also at work on a public campaign to get both drivers and cyclists to abide by the law. Signs that inform that bikes “may use full lane” have appeared on some highways, and the motor vehicle administration has devoted a page of its website to informing road users of the law.

But as history shows, if drivers and cyclists are to coexist on Maryland’s roadways, showing the state police video to law enforcement officers is likely to have a greater effect than the now discredited “share the road” campaign that has gone on for years.

Winter Storm’s 2nd Punch Expected Today two hours late and many school districts shut down.

Temperatures, which rose Monday, turning sleet into steady rain by mid-day, were expected to fall by this morning. Intense snow was forecast during rush hour, with 3 to 5 inches likely to pile up before the storm moves on later today.

“The upcoming storm will present some challenges,” said William Howland Jr., director of D.C.’s Department of Public Works, on Monday.

Many areas experienced power outages because of the weekend’s stormy weather. By nightfall Monday, power had been restored to all but about 5,500 customers in D.C.

Washington A mess of winter weather that came a dozen days before the official start of winter is forecast to be capped with a rush-hour snow storm this morning, completing a 48-hour cycle of misery that delivered snow, sleet and freezing rain.

Weather forecasters and the officials who heed them warned that this morning’s rush hour could be as dicey as it was Monday, when the federal government started work

and its Maryland suburbs. More than 38,000 customers were without electricity in Northern Virginia.

The warning that the storm front had a second punch also came as many local transportation agencies gave their road crews a rest. Some had worked through the night Sunday and into Monday to deal with the icy highways and side streets. “[Road workers in Virginia] would tell you they are not tired, but energized by the weather — many of them love this stuff,” said Joan Morris of Virginia’s Department of Transportation.

Growing national attention to the 20th-century practice of forcibly sterilizing thousands of Americans has put new pressure on Virginia lawmakers to compensate survivors.

A drumbeat from both the left and the right of the political spectrum has revived outrage over eugenics, a practice designed to create an American master race by preventing people with mental illness, developmental disabilities or epilepsy from having children.

State officials estimate that Virginia sterilized 7,325 people under a 1924 state law that remained on the books until 1979.

Virginia has so far rejected paying reparations to people who were sterilized primarily because, opponents say, the state doesn’t have the money.

But neighboring North Carolina, which forcibly sterilized about 7,600 people between 1929 and 1974, passed a law earlier this year setting aside $10 million for reparations.

As lawmakers prepare for the Virginia General Assembly’s annual legislative session next month, those who suffered because of the eugen-

NSA Turns Eye to Gamers

Technology companies push for reform amid latest surveillance revelations London American and British intelligence operations have been spying on gamers across the world, media outlets reported, saying that the world’s most powerful espionage agencies sent undercover agents into virtual universes to monitor activity in online fantasy games such as “World of Warcraft.”

Stories carried Monday by The New York Times, the Guardian and ProPublica said U.S. and U.K. spies have spent years trawling online games for terrorists or informants.

The stories, based on documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, offer an unusual take on America’s world-spanning surveillance campaign, suggesting that even the fantasy worlds aren’t beyond the attention of the NSA and its British counterpart, Government Communications Headquarters.

Virtual universes such as “World of Warcraft” have been massively popular. At its height, “World of Warcraft” boasted some 12 million paying subscribers.

The online fantasy game wasn’t the only target. Another memo noted that GCHQ had “been able to get the discussions between different game players on Xbox Live.”

Meanwhile, so many U.S. spies were roaming around Linden Labs’ “Second Life” that a special “deconfliction” unit was set up to prevent them from stepping on one another’s toes.

Spy agencies have long worried that such games serve as a good cover for terrorists or other evildoers who could use in-game messaging systems to swap information.

Linden Labs did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

In a statement, Blizzard Entertainment said that it is “unaware of any surveillance taking place. If it was,

Recently Revealed Spy Tactics Cellphone Location Tracking The National Security Agency tracks the locations of nearly 5 billion cellphones every day overseas, including those belonging to Americans abroad, The Washington Post reported last week.

The justification: The agency said it doesn’t track every phone and call, and that it tries to limit how much data is collected.

The concern: The NSA can track the movements of almost any cellphone in the world. Since it doesn’t know which data it might need, the NSA keeps up to 27 terabytes, or more than double the text content of the Library of Congress’ print collection.

FBI Malware The FBI has designed a malicious software that can covertly download files, photos and stored emails, or even gather realtime images by activating computer cameras, according to court documents and people familiar with the technology.

The justification: It can be used when authorities struggle to track suspects who are adept at covering their tracks online.

The concern: A judge has ruled that the use of such technology in a bank fraud case was “extremely intrusive” and ran the risk of accidentally capturing information of people not suspected of a crime.

Law Enforcement Data Requests Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies made more than 9,000 requests last year for information on all the calls that bounced off a cellphone tower within a certain period of time.

The justification: Investigators say it helps nabs criminals, citing one case that tracked two bank robbers by analyzing cellphone records from the towers closest to four remote Arizona banks.

The concern: The practice has raised concerns among judges, lawmakers and privacy advocates who question the data collection on those suspected of no crime in order to try to locate a criminal.

Guardian’s Person of the Year Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden was voted the Guardian’s person of the year for 2013, the British newspaper reported Monday.

The whistle-blower, who has leaked files that exposed extensive phone and Internet surveillance and intelligence gathering, was the overwhelming choice out of 10 candidates. Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger said Dec. 3 that the Guardian has released only 1 percent of the 58,000 files it received from Snowden. (EXPRESS)

it would have been done without our knowledge or permission.”

Microsoft issued a similar statement, saying it is “not aware of any surveillance activity. If it has occurred as reported, it certainly wasn’t done with our consent.”

Important details — such as how the agencies secured access to gamers’ data, how many players’ information was compromised or whether Americans were swept up in the spying — were not clear, the Times and ProPublica said.

The news came the same day that Silicon Valley escalated pressure on President Barack Obama to curb the U.S. government surveillance programs that vacuum personal information off the Internet and threaten the technology industry’s financial livelihood.

A coalition that includes Google, Apple, Yahoo, Facebook and Microsoft lashed out in an open letter printed Monday in major newspapers and on a new website, reform governmentsurveillance.com.

“The balance in many countries has tipped too far in favor of the state and away from the rights of the individual,” the letter said.

“This undermines the freedoms we all cherish. It’s time for a change.”

Dan Snyder has owned the Washington Redskins since 1999. Since then, the Redskins have won two NFC East titles and had seven different head coaches.

Change Starts at the Top It’s not just about who becomes the next coach of the Washington Redskins. And it’s not simply about hiring a general manager.

The team has tried every combination with little success since owner Dan Snyder’s arrival in 1999.

If Year 16 under Snyder is to be any different, the Redskins must find a balance between ownership, management and players. Otherwise,

By Rick Snider there will never be peace in the perpetual circus.

And the only way for that to happen is for Redskins Nation to rise once more.

Snyder responds to two things: empty seats and constant criticism. Oh, you don’t see him respond publicly anymore since fans booed him off the field a decade ago. However, Snyder fired favorite minion Vinny Cerrato (whom I still believe will

return within the next 10 years as a consultant) after a 2009 fan revolt left massive numbers of seats empty at late-season games.

And there were still twice as many fans then as the 25,000 or so at Sunday’s loss to Kansas City.

Snyder is cornered into firing coach Mike Shanahan, whose Monday news conference was a classic 30 minutes of denial.

Everyone knows Shanahan will be fired within minutes of the Dec. 29 season-ender. Indeed, none of Snyder’s coaches have ever finished their contract, so Shanahan leaving a year earlier isn’t surprising.

Shanahan even seems to be taunting Snyder into firing him by likely benching quarterback Robert Griffin III for the last

three games (while saying the team will do everything it can to win the last three games). Sure, 3-10 always gets better by benching a franchise passer. Shanahan’s lame excuse was Griffin needed protecting after 24 sacks in five games. Yet Shanahan won’t even try reserve linemen?

But Snyder needs to just ignore Shanahan and concentrate on first picking a new personnel man who then will pick the coach.

The Redskins are once more a

black hole and those with options won’t come to Washington. Sorry, you can’t overpay for the top talent because they can go other places and win. Snyder must find the second wave of talent.

The problem is that rising stars like Baltimore’s Eric DeCosta and Pittsburgh’s Omar Khan won’t leave great front offices to run this mess. They usually receive only one chance to succeed, so why take a no-win deal? Maybe Cleveland assistant GM Ray Farmer or New Orleans director of player personnel Ryan Pace are options.

For coach, Penn State’s Bill O’Brien is a perfect candidate — NFL experience and crisis management at PSU. Afterward, Snyder needs to find new friends who don’t play football. No more favorite players. He should just come by on Sundays or else nothing will ever truly change.

Rick Snider has covered Washington sports since 1978. Follow him on Twitter @Snide_Remarks

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has been sacked 24 times in five games.

RGIII May Sit for the Rest of ’13 Redskins Mike Shanahan is still the coach of the Washington Redskins, but Robert Griffin III might not be the starting quarterback this week.

Shanahan said Monday that he was thinking about sitting Griffin for the rest of the season because of concern that the quarterback could be injured.

Shanahan pointed out that Griffin has been sacked 24 times in five games, and that two of the Redskins’ three remaining games will be played on artificial turf, including Sunday at Atlanta.

It’s a change from Shanahan’s previous stance that Griffin needed as many game snaps as possible to improve.

Shanahan no longer spoke as if it’s a given that he’ll be coaching the Redskins next season. He says owner Dan Snyder will make that decision at the end of the season. (AP)

Defense Fueling Offense Green, Alzner, Oleksy and Schmidt scored in past three games Offense from defensemen is not measured by goal-scoring, Capitals coach Adam Oates says. To him, it’s about making an effective first pass to start a breakout and sustaining pressure in the offensive zone by keeping plays alive.

Oates has recently received those contributions from his defensive corps — contributions which have directly led to scoring.

In Washington’s past three games, four defensemen — Mike Green, Karl Alzner, Nate Schmidt and Steve Oleksy — have all scored their first goals of the season, and they accounted for half of the team’s 10 goals over that span.

The Capitals’ first two goals in their 4-1 victory against the Rangers on Sunday provided the perfect example of what Oates is looking for.

Oleksy, playing in his first game since Nov. 20 after sitting out as a healthy scratch for seven straight, kept a puck in at the right point and immediately flung it toward the net. The ensuing scramble ended

with left wing Jason Chimera giving Washington a 1-0 lead.

Twent y-f ive seconds later, Oleksy’s long-range wrist shot eluded Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who was screened in front, as the Capitals seized momentum.

When asked what has been working for the defense, Oates said: “Quite honestly, just getting the shots through. We’re doing a better job with traffic, but just the decisions with the puck and getting it to the net.”

Washington’s forwards, not necessarily known for making oppos-

ing goaltenders’ lives difficult in the crease, are making a concerted effort to do so. Combined with a more calculated approach from the back end, the defense and the Capitals as a whole are reaping the benefits.

“I think we’re being a little bit more patient, not just whipping pucks to the net blindly,” said Schmidt, who has two goals in as many games. “We’re making sure we have guys in front and our forwards have been doing a lot better job getting in front of the net because they’re trusting us to get pucks through.”

Tony La Russa, left, Bobby Cox, center, and Joe Torre are among the top five in wins.

Torre, La Russa, Cox Elected to Hall Three of baseball’s winningest skippers unanimously picked Baseball Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox, baseball’s winningest managers over the past four decades, were unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame on Monday by the expansion era committee.

All three won more than 2,000 games and were selected on all 16 ballots when the committee met Sunday ahead of baseball’s winter meetings.

“Managing against them, you certainly learned things,” said Torre, now an executive vice president for Major League Baseball.

“I am honored to go into the Hall with these two guys.”

Induction ceremonies will be held July 27 in Cooperstown, N.Y. Torre became the fifth manager to win four World Series championships, leading the Yankees to titles in 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 — beating Cox’s Braves twice. After making only one trip to the playoffs in 14 seasons with the New York Mets, St. Louis and Atlanta, Torre guided the Yankees to the postseason in all 12 of his years in New York with a cool, patient demeanor.

Managerial Wins The three skippers elected to the Hall of Fame on Monday rank in the top five in baseball history in wins.

The strategy-savvy La Russa won World Series titles with Oakland in 1989 and with St. Louis in 2006 and 2011, retiring days after beating the Texas Rangers in a seven-game thriller. La Russa finished with the third-most wins by a manager in a career that began with the Chicago White Sox in 1979 and ended with a record of 2,728-2,365.

Cox’s managerial career began in 1978 with Atlanta, but he was fired after four seasons — only one above .500. A four-year run in Toronto ended in 1985 with an AL East title, and Ted Turner lured him back to the Braves as their GM. Cox returned to the dugout in 1990, and following one losing season he went on one of the most successful regular-season runs by any skipper, leading the Braves to 14 straight division titles and a World Series championship in 1995.

The Best for the Best Michael Wardian, 39

Septime Webre, 51

The word “runner” doesn’t adequately describe Wardian, whose race schedule is essentially a series of dares. Last month, he won a marathon in San Antonio and then flew to Las Vegas to run a second marathon in the afternoon. (He took 10th place in that one.) His dream gift would be to convert part of his Arlington house into an altitude room. For $10,000 (and up), it’s possible to simulate the oxygen conditions of living in the mountains anywhere. He’d love to redo his bedroom — “subject to Jennifer, my wife, being cool with it” — or his basement, where he “could run on the treadmill at 15,000 feet.” Wardian says he’d also settle for a snorkel. Swimming with reduced airflow mimics altitude training, and it would give his joints a break.

The artistic director of the Washington Ballet is interested only in an experiential gift: ashtanga yoga classes.

“You don’t need anything but a mat to do it,” says Webre, who started practicing five years ago in pursuit of a low-impact but vigorous physical workout.

“It’s hard as hell and forces you to be your best self.” Although there are similarities between several poses and ballet moves — Warrior 3 is an arabesque, he points out — yoga feels different from his day job. And it’s a gift that keeps on giving: Webre says yoga’s brought him a sense of euphoria and focus. (For a list of local ashtanga studios, visit michaeljoelhall.com/places-practice -ashtanga. Most places offer class packages that can be given as gifts.)

IVAN NOLIA

The stuff most athletes wish for can’t be gift-wrapped. Getting stronger, faster and more flexible is really a matter of hard work and dedication. But even for people with all the persistence in the world, it’s nice to get presents. We checked in with an assortment of active Washingtonians to find out which fitness gear is tops on their lists this year. VICK Y HALLET T (E XPRESS)

Ivan Nolia, 9 Ivan, who’s completed Yoga District’s 200-hour teacher training program, is the city’s youngest certified yoga instructor. The Petworth resident lists lots of stuff he’d like to give other kids to help them discover yoga. “I’d want yoga mats. It doesn’t matter which color,” he says.

And he’d like to give out copies of the book “Asanas: 608 Yoga Poses” ($22, New World Library) by Dharma Mittra. “It has pictures of the different poses. My teacher gave me one,” adds Ivan, who uses the guide for homework.

Is there anything he wants for himself? After mulling it over, Ivan picks a resistance band to boost his upper-body strength.

Christy Phillips, 28

Katie Ledecky, 16

ADAM PRETTY (GETTY IMAGES)

Santa would have to be as strong as Phillips to deliver the giant tire she’s pining after. “I could flip it up and down my street,” says the Reston, Va., resident, who won the CrossFit 2013 MidAtlantic Regional and went on to compete in her fifth CrossFit Games this past summer. The problem? That tire won’t fit in her apartment. So she’s also hoping for a slightly more practical option: Kelly Starrett’s book, “Becoming a Supple Leopard: The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain, Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance” ($30, Victory Belt Publishing).

At an age when many other teens are getting their driver’s licenses, the Olympic swimmer from Bethesda has been collecting world records. She currently holds two: the 800- and 1500-meter freestyle.

So it’s easy to imagine why Ledecky often forgets the lunch bag and ice pack she uses to store her post-workout chocolate milk. A gift that would remedy that problem, she says, would be “a refrigerator built into our car’s glove compartment.” We have another idea for a simpler fix: a cooler that can plug into the car’s cigarette lighter. Coleman’s 16-quart PowerChill model ($80) has room for two 2-liter bottles.

Parenting Teens Requires a Team

BEN CLAASSEN III

My husband and I sailed through parenting in the early years, and we got smug. We didn’t have many of the conflicts our friends had. But now that our kids are teens, my husband and I are butting heads a lot. His attitude is that a lot of stuff our kids might do is OK because he did it and turned out OK. I think he was lucky (ran with a bad crowd in high school, did a lot of drugs, etc.), and I want our kids to make better choices than he did. HELP!

A Real Pain Around the Neck My mother-in-law took some very nice scarves of mine and then mentioned it later like it was no big deal, saying she borrowed them, wasn’t I a dear for letting her, and they looked lovely, etc.

She claimed she would return them, but we have since had two visits and she hasn’t. My husband says to let it go to keep the peace, but I think she was wrong to do this and I don’t want her thinking it’s OK to do it again. FLUSTERED OVER SCARVES Without knowing more about her personality, it’s hard to contextualize this. Is she typically selfish or steamrolling? Or might she be having some memory or cognitive issues? Is she big on saving face, and might this have started as an accident? Are you two usually warm with each other, or often frosty? Is there a history of eccentric behavior?

If this seems to be an isolated incident, a momentary case of whoknows-what, then I’m inclined to agree with your husband to let it go — while taking a few minor steps to discourage her sticky fingers in the future. But if this is part of a larger pattern of exploitative bullying or a sign of possible dementia, then it needs to be taken more seriously.

Anyone can point to the rare chainsmoker who lives to their 90s. So no parent’s teenage experience should take on the power of an absolute referendum on what’s best.

Capitalize on your previous collaboration. Did he approve of your preschoolers licking Metro handrails? Probably not. The same riskassessment mindset should apply to parenting teenagers; it’s just a bit more complicated because you’re trying to instill in them the desire to make good choices themselves.

Above all, make sure he knows this isn’t about his life path — and help him separate the concept of reasonable protection of your children’s safety from judgment about him as a human being.

By this time last winter, the rink in Canal Park, above, was hosting skating lessons.

R ST. NW

9TH ST. NW

When it comes to ice skating, a few slip-ups are always expected. But two of the District’s outdoor rinks are having a particularly rough year — and it’ll take more than a Zamboni to smooth out the problems.

Wondering why the Canal Park Ice Rink, near the Navy Yard, hasn’t started its second season of skating yet? Back in October, a pipe beneath the rink burst. The accident flooded the refrigeration machinery that creates and maintains a frozen surface, setting back the opening date by at least a month.

“It shouldn’t have happened.

And we don’t expect it to happen again,” says park manager Janet Weston, who reports that repairs are almost complete. The rink may be in business as early as this weekend, but the schedule shift has forced some trims to the planned programming. Instead of two sessions of skating lessons, there will be only one. (It starts Jan. 4.)

Marissa Marwell of Rink Management Services, which operates the Canal Park site, says skaters still have plenty to look forward to in the coming months. Besides a skating exhibition to celebrate the opening, there will be regular weekly events, including two-for-one Tuesdays and a live DJ on Friday nights. And a “yoga on ice” class could start soon, Marwell adds.

Those plans sound a lot more solid than what’s happening at the proposed Lake Shaw Ice Rink,

which was originally slated to debut earlier this month. Instead, there’s no sign of any skating on the site of the closed Shaw Junior High School.

Community activist Lee Granados, 38, has been spearheading the project. She has a grand vision for a neighborhood gathering spot that’s surrounded by art installations, live band performances and

Washingtonians don’t need to wait for anything else to freeze over.

The two other outdoor rinks in the city are open for business: Washington Harbour (3050 K St. NW, thewashingtonharbour.com/ skating) offers skating lessons, parties and events in Georgetown.

The National Gallery Sculpture Garden rink (Constitution Avenue and Sixth Street NW, nga.gov) offers classes including adult exercise.

toasting marshmallows.

During the day, she says, teachers from nearby schools could use the ice as an outdoor classroom that’s ideally suited for explaining angles and other mathematical lessons. Come February, Granados would like to broadcast the Olympic Games, so skaters can be inspired by the competition in Sochi, Russia.

The concept has generated considerable online buzz — but not nearly enough money.

Trying to coax funds out of businesses this late in the year is tough, Granados says, because they’ve already committed their 2013 budgets. And without cash, the project is stalled.

In a last-ditch attempt to make the rink a reality this year, she’s considering a campaign through the online fundraising website crowdrise.com. People would pay up front for incentives: $10 for one skate session, $100 for a month of skating, $1,000 for a private event for up to 100 guests. This tactic requires finding an established nonprofit to partner up with the project and manage the funds.

Sounds trickier than a triple axel, but Granados is undeterred: “We’ll keep trying to make it happen — even if it’s after Jan. 1.”

Next year has to be better for skating in D.C. VICKY HALLETT (EXPRESS)

Ingredients 5.2-ounce package roasted and peeled chestnuts, medium chopped 3 ⁄4 cup water 1 ⁄3 cup low-fat evaporated milk 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, medium chopped 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or 1 tablespoon instant coffee Pinch of table salt 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 2 teaspoons Tia Maria, Kahlua, Baileys, brandy or rum 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

MATTHEW MEAD (AP)

SPIKED MOCHA CHESTNUT TRUFFLES

Makes 20 Truffles In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chestnuts and water. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the chestnuts are very tender and all the water has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.

Add the milk and heat the mixture

until it just comes to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate, then re-cover the pan. Let stand off the burner until the chocolate is melted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir and transfer to a blender along with the espresso powder, salt, corn syrup and liquor. Blend until very smooth.

Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 3 hours. Form the mixture into small balls (about 2 teaspoons each) and roll the balls in the cocoa powder until they are coated, shaking off the excess. Chill until ready to serve. Will keep, refrigerated, for 2 weeks.

Dream of the Future Carrie Brownstein, why do you keep breaking up with me?

In 2006, I grudgingly accepted that Sleater-Kinney — soundtrack to my post-riot-grrrl life — was no more.

Then you and S-K drummer Janet Weiss, along with new keyboardist Rebecca Cole and Mary Timony, my biggest guitar hero in D.C. (ex Helium and Autoclave), turned up as Wild Flag in 2011.

Yes! We were gonna

By Shauna stay friends. I even Miller stopped listening to “Modern Girl,” my favorite song by your old band, on lonely nights.

Then, as of last Thursday, Wild Flag was no more. Just one crazy album?

Just one tour, with people driving from distant states to see the band? Ouch.

And then Sleater-Kinney secretly reunites over Thanksgiving weekend?

For a Pearl Jam show? Well, the dream of the ’90s was sure alive there.

But the future is now, in Timony’s new band, The Ex Hex, above, with Laura Harris of D.C.’s The Aquarium on drums. They shred hard in our backyard. (They played Comet Ping Pong on Sunday night.) Ex Hex is a funny name, considering how we got here.

So what if I take my love of bands too seriously, like I do with people?

They’re what molded me.

The former South African president, pictured above with his wife in 1990, had reportedly seen early clips of “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,” starring Idris Elba, below, in the title role.

Biopic Takes On New Life After revolutionary’s death, “Mandela” turns into a eulogy Film With the death of Nelson Mandela, the sweeping biopic “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” transforms in the midst of its theatrical release from a living tribute to a big-screen eulogy.

The South African revolutionary and former president, who died Thursday at the age of 95, has long been a compelling figure for movies — a hero of uncommon dignity

whose dramatic story and titanic accomplishments insured his tale would be told often in film.

But arguably the fullest movie portrait of Mandela’s life — a film made with his permission and his family’s support — was released just six days before his death.

News of Mandela’s death broke as “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” played during its London premiere, where Mandela’s daughters Zindzi and Zenani were in attendance. Producer Anant Singh, who has spent more than a decade trying to get the film made, called for a moment of silence at the film’s end.

When the film opens wide on

tion, which hasn’t yet developed in early prizes. But sentiment could flow toward “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” following Mandela’s death as voting for the Oscars, Golden Globes and other awards kicks in over the next two months.

Idris Elba stars as Mandela in the biopic. On first seeing Elba, whose frame is considerably larger than Mandela’s, in a scene from the film, Singh has said Mandela remarked, “Is that me?”

With Mandela ailing in recent years, Elba was unable to meet with him. “I only feel honored to be associated with him,” the actor said in a statement. JAKE COYLE (AP)

Encore! Sunday’s Kennedy Center Honors gala was a talker. It began with a parade of cultural icons seated in an opera box, but when a rapper (Snoop Dogg) and a Supreme Court justice (Sonia Sotomayor, left) took the stage, it was clear this wasn’t your standard lifetime achievement fete. Actress Shirley MacLaine, opera singer Martina Arroyo and musicians Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock and Billy Joel were honored. It will air Dec. 29 on CBS. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Judy Smith, left, is the inspiration for Kerry Washington’s character on “Scandal.”

MEET THE ARTIST

JAKE CHAPMAN Wednesday, December 11 7 pm, Ring Auditorium Throughout their career, the always-controversial Jake and Dinos Chapman have repeatedly engaged with The Disasters of War, rendering Goya’s horrific scenes as hobbyist miniatures, life-size sculptural tableaux, and wallpaper.

For Injury to Insult to Injury, 2004, currently on view in Damage Control: Art and Destruction Since 1950, they purchased a full edition of eighty etchings and “rectified” them by replacing victims’ heads with grotesque cartoons of monsters and insects. Jake Chapman discusses the theme of destruction in the brothers’ paintings, sculptures, and drawings.

Seating is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Seeds of A ‘Scandal’ The inspiration behind ABC’s hit show has garnered her own fans Television Judy Smith walked into a New York bank last week wearing a black suit and her signature white overcoat. A woman standing next to her gave an approving once-over and said, “Oooohhhh, that looks like an Olivia Pope coat.” Then she paused and took a second look at Smith: “Oh, my God. It’s you!”

The intensely private crisis manager has gone from the real-life inspiration for the hit ABC show “Scandal” to a star in her own right — and is now almost as recognizable as her on-screen doppelganger, Kerry Washington. Fans crowded into Howard University’s television studio Thursday night for an hourlong interview with Smith.

It’s quite a turnaround for Smith, 55, who became America’s best-known corporate fixer by staying out of the spotlight while helping Clarence Thomas, Monica Lewinsky, Michael Vick and Paula Deen. (Although she never, ever talks about her clients.) “Scan-

dal” creator Shonda Rhimes was so taken by Smith that she built a hit show around her life.

Smith emphasized Thursday that her success is a result of the “consistent hard work and focus” she learned growing up in Northeast D.C. After law school at American University, she founded Smith & Company, which eventually led to “Scandal.”

Meanwhile …

ABC said Friday that it will air four fewer episodes of “Scandal” than planned this season. The network didn’t say why it will broadcast 18 instead of 22 episodes, but the decision follows word that “Scandal” star Kerry Washington is pregnant. (AP)

She wouldn’t share if she’s ever needed a fixer but said the only difference between her celebrity clients and the rest of us is that our scandals don’t make headlines.

“The truth of the matter is … we all make mistakes,” she said. “But I am truly a big believer in forgiveness and second chances.”

And, judging by her new-found fame, second acts. ROX ANNE ROBERTS AND EMILY YAHR (THE WASHINGTON POST )

How to Pick a Tree — and Keep It Alive Buying early will give you better selection and a fresher tree.

Before buying, run your hands through the needles to check for suppleness. Hold the tree upright and drop it from a few inches.

Excessive needle drop is a sign of dryness.

Before installing, you will need to remove some of the lowest branches and trim an inch off the bottom of the trunk. Make a square cut, not an angled one. You will need gloves, a bow saw for the trunk and lopping shears to remove the branches.

The tree is thirstiest when first cut and will absorb several quarts of water in its first day or two.

Make sure your tree stand is big enough for the tree, both for stability and water storage.

Additives to the water are not necessary, but check the level daily and top off as needed, using your finger to check the water level. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

The man who is accused of hitting Barron Hilton II, brother of Paris, in the face will likely be arrested, law enforcement sources told TMZ. Hilton claims that Lindsay Lohan ordered a friend, Ray LeMoine, to attack him during a party in Miami last week because he was talking trash about her.

TMZ sources say Hilton plans to sue Lohan and LeMoine and press charges. LeMoine claims that Lohan had nothing to do with the fight and that Hilton started it. (E XPRESS)
