Here’s what I’m reading up on this morning:

• Mondays prove brutal for East Coast weather. 

• Among other things, President Obama tells Vox’s Ezra Klein that the United States is going to be ok when it comes to race because we’re just "a hodgepodge of folks."

• A stampede in a clash between sports fans and police in Cairo leads to at least 19 deaths. 

• McDonald’s sales keep slipping. 

• Out of cash but want to leave a tip? There’s an app for that. 

• Your Samsung SmartTV is listening to your personal conversations and the company warns people that: "be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition."

• WaPo has a good wrap-up of what happened at the Grammys. 

• Coffee apparently lowers the risk of endometrial cancer and red wine apparently burns fat. 

• Baby sea lions–more than 250 in January alone–are stranding on California’s coast.
