Governor O'Malley delivers his State of the State address at noon. We'll ask WYPR State House reporter Joel McCord and Maryland Reporter.dot.com editor Len Lazarick about the political pressures the governor faces this legislative session.

Then – Cycling near Johns Hopkins University a year ago, sophomore Nathan Krasnopoler was hit by an elderly driver; he died last summer, still in a coma.  We talk with Nathan's mother, who’s testifying in Annapolis today to try to make drivers safer.

And – What's more interesting: Super Bowl ads, or how we react to them? The GOP debates, or the buzz the next day? We'll ask pop culture analyst Roger Casey.
