Training days for emergency responders

Sunday, May 19th 4-6pm The Center for Grieving Children 555 Forest Ave. Portland, ME FMI: 347-6740 It’s emergency training season in Portland. Above, police conduct a K9 dog-training exercise at Casco Bay Lines ferry terminal earlier this month. On Wednesday, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the Maine Emergency Management Agency announced a training, “Reno Air Races: Responding to a Plane in the Stands,” at Maine Medical Center-Dana Center Auditorium. Discussion will include expert overview of the preparation for and response to a September 2011 incident in which a North American P-51D Mustang crashed into a crowd of spectators at the Reno Air Races in Nevada. For more information on this training, contact Kris Gammon by calling 795-2962, or by email at gammonkr@cmhc.org. Next Saturday, May 18, the city of Portland will conduct JetEx2013, the Portland International Jetport’s triennial full-scale training exercise. The exercise required by the Federal Aviation Administration is designed to test the airport’s emergency plan and ensure that current policies and procedures are appropriate to respond to an aircraft emergency, the city reported. The exercise scenario involves the emergency response to a fire that engulfs a commercial airplane during passenger boarding. The event will test first responders’ and local hospitals’ ability to manage a mass casualty situation, the city stated. Crews from the Portland and South Portland police and fire departments, county and state emergency agencies, area hospitals, Red Cross, as well as private entities will carry out live response training throughout the day. Motorists should anticipate traffic congestion including emergency vehicles staged at the Elks Lodge on Congress Street. The training is planned from 9:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Saturday.

Building a $325,000 burger MAASTRICHT, the Netherlands (NY Times) — As a gastronomic delicacy, the five-ounce hamburger that Mark Post has painstakingly created here surely will not turn any heads. But Dr. Post is hoping that it will change some minds.

The hamburger, assembled from tiny bits of beef muscle tissue grown in a laboratory and to be cooked and eaten at an event in London, perhaps in a few weeks, is meant to show the world — including potential sources of research funds — that so-called in vitro meat, or cultured meat, is a reality.

The idea of creating meat in a laboratory — actual animal tissue, not a substitute made from soybeans or other protein sources — has been around for decades. The arguments in favor of it are many, covering both animal welfare and environmental issues.

A 2011 study in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, for example, showed that full-scale production of cultured meat could greatly reduce water, land and energy use, and emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases, compared with conventional raising and slaughtering of cattle or other livestock. Those environmental arguments will only gain strength, advocates say, as worldwide demand for meat increases with the rise of middle-class populations in China and elsewhere.

SAYWHAT...

“

I still eat a burger at a counter with ketchup dripping down my face.”

Abortion doctor is found guilty of 3 counts of murder PHILADELPHIA (NY Times) — Dr. Kermit Gosnell, a West Philadelphia doctor known for performing late-term abortions, was found guilty on Monday on three of four counts of first-degree murder.

The verdict came after a five-week trial in which the prosecution and the defense battled over whether the fetuses Dr. Gosnell was charged with killing were alive when they were removed from their mothers.

Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty when the trial moves into the sentencing phase on May 21.

Dr. Gosnell, 72, wearing a dark suit, showed no emotion as the jury foreman read the verdicts on the 10th day of deliberations. Before the foreman spoke, Dr. Gosnell smiled at his lawyer, Jack J. McMahon, and shook his hand.

Security in the courtroom was very tight, with 10 additional sheriff’s deputies in the room to keep order.

The jury of eight women and four men acquitted Dr. Gosnell of one first-degree murder charge involving an aborted fetus.

He was also acquitted of third-degree

Obama scoffs at Libya outcry but vows to act on I.R.S. audits

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — An exasperated President Obama on Monday called Republican criticism of his handling of the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, “a sideshow” and said that any accusation of a cover-up by his administration “defies logic.”

Speaking to reporters for the first time since his Republican adversaries used Congressional hearings to renew their political assault, Obama was dismissive of the continuing controversy, saying that those in Washington who are playing politics with

“Suddenly, three days ago, this gets spun up as if there’s something new to the story. There’s no there there,” Obama told reporters during a news conference with David Cameron, the British prime minister.

The president took a strikingly different tone about the other controversy that is riveting attention in the nation’s capital: the revelation that Internal Revenue Service employees targeted conservative groups for audits.

Defense: Mental evaluations endorse insanity plea in Colorado shootings CENTENNIAL, Colo. (NY Times) — Mental health experts who evaluated the 25-year-old man accused of killing 12 people in a Colorado movie theater last year have offered a diagnosis that bolsters an insanity plea in the case, his lawyers said in a hearing here on Monday.

“We now have a diagnosis that’s complete,” Daniel King, a defense lawyer for the suspect, James E. Holmes, said in court. “We now have an opinion by qualified professionals.”

Holmes, a former graduate student studying neuroscience, faces 166 counts of murder, attempted murder and weapons charges in the July 20 shooting during a midnight premiere of the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” at an Aurora movie theater. Officials say he slipped out of an emergency exit shortly after the movie began, donned commando-style gear and then returned through the same door to spray the sold-out crowd with gunfire.

murder in the death of a 41-year-old patient but was found guilty of a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter in that case.

The gruesome nature of the crimes that Dr. Gosnell was accused of and the squalid conditions in his clinic had fueled arguments on both sides of the abortion debate.

Anti-abortion campaigners used the case to reinforce their argument that the practice is immoral, while abortion rights advocates warned that it underlined the need to ensure the availability of properly regulated abortions.

No mo’ PoMo?

Whenever the Federal Reserve wants to tweak the dials of the economy — or pretend that it can — it turns first to its sock puppet at The Wall Street Journal, John Hilsenrath, and “leaks” a rumor of policy change. They like to do this late on Fridays when financial markets are about to close, so that market players will have a whole weekend to ponder the Fed’s actions like medieval viziers reading goat entrails.

Last Friday’s puddle of steaming guts was a supposed preview of the Fed’s “exit strategy” from its reckless policy of “quantitative easing” or “money” creation (or “liquidity,” if you like). In other words, they supposedly intend to stop juicing the financial markets with fake wealth, i.e. capital not accumulated from real productive activity, but just fictively created on computer hard drives. For the past year they ––––– have been doing this to the Kunstler.com tune of $85 billion a month, “buying” U.S. Treasury bonds and bills and an assortment of miscellaneous securities (mostly trash that can’t be pawned off on anyone else) through their socalled “primary dealer” bank cohorts, the too-bigto-fail usual suspects, who “earn” hefty transaction fees in the process of conveying all these pixels from Point A to Point B. These interventions are called Permanent Open Market Operations, or PoMo. The theory all along has been that this $85 a month would seep down to Main Street to provoke spending (increasing the “velocity of money) and therefore “jump start” the economy. The theory has proven itself to be complete horses--t, of course.

All it has done is suppress interest rates on bonds, depriving old people of income off their savings by so doing. It also artificially jacked up reckless lending on loans for houses, cars, and college degrees, juiced the share price of stocks, and boosted food prices.

Meanwhile, an increasingly former middle class languishes in a purgatory of foreclosure, penury and desperation. The Fed can’t really do anything to help them. It can only burden them with more easycredit debt, especially their college-age children. But

Planned Parenthood wins, parents lose with ‘morning after pill’ The Maine Equal Rights Center provided the opposing viewpoint to Planned Parenthood on WGME News 13 regarding a federal judges decision to allow 15 year old girls to purchase the “morning after pill” also called Plan B without parental consent or knowledge.

My counterpart at Planned Parenthood went on record saying “this is great” but there are several things we must consider.

For starters, a 15 year old must show identification to buy the drug but what form of picture identification does a 15 year old have? They can’t get a drivers license until they are 16 which means issuing identification just for birth control.

Next, under Maine Criminal Code 17-A , Part 2, Chapter 11 subsection 254 (1)(A) a person is guilty of sexual abuse if they engage in an act with someone that is 15 and are five years older than the child.

Then, under 17-A subsection 253 (1)(B) anyone who has sex with a girl 14 or younger is guilty of gross sexual assault.

Planned Parenthood calls this a “woman’s right to choose” but under Maine state law these underage girls are considered children, not women.

How many times are kids intoxicated at a party and older guys know they are too young but have

sex with them?

How many predators prey on the children from broken homes?

How many girls fall for flattering words from older men who exploit their innocence because Guest she is vulnerable?

Columnist A lot.

This protects sex offenders because parents won’t know their daughter has been victimized and children younger than 15 will use this drug because their friends buy it for them.

What does Planned Parenthood think is so great about that?

Parents protect their children better than politicians and it’s not smart for a government that has a 13 percent approval rating to take away people’s parental rights, leaving their children defenseless.

Planned Parenthood’s spokeswoman also said this was great since so many underage children have unprotected sex it will decrease abortions.

Let’s look at that closer, according to the Center for Disease Control: • 76.7 percent of high school students had unprotected sex and did not use birth control in 2011.

• 15.4 percent of high school students had multiple partners.

• Over 10 million new cases of sexually transmit-

Erick Bennett –––––

ted diseases and HIV and AIDS infections occurred in the 15-24 age group.

According to the National Center for Education and Statistics there were over twenty million students between grades 9-12 last year.

Last year Planned Parenthood received a record $542 million from taxpayers and performed a record 334,000 abortions. They also make some money from services like testing for sexually transmitted diseases, screening for cervical cancer which is caused by the herpes virus but based on the numbers will make hundreds of millions of dollars selling the morning after pill, Plan B. Planned Parenthood will make billions of dollars from this. That’s why they think “this is great.”

Aside from what kind of identification would children need or protecting sex offenders, the government is creating massive problems by stripping parents of their ability to protect their children for no other reason than making obscene amounts of money.

The Maine Equal Rights Center referendum campaign, An Act Regarding Parental Consent for Abortions will be on the November 2014 ballot.

This campaign will let Mainer’s decide if parental consent and knowledge must be required when it comes to their children to prevent these tragedies see BENNETT page 6

Fed officials (and casual observers) may sense things spinning out of control KUNSTLER from page 4

ours is a financialized economy and finance is too abstruse for most ordinary people to understand, so they just muddle along in a fog of dashed hopes and repossession.

Lately, though, the financial markets at the heart of the financialized economy — that is, an economy based on buying and selling increasingly dubious “paper” assets rather than on capital formation through producing things of value — are sending distress signals. The aforesaid efforts at economic dial-tweaking have only produced distortions and perversions in the basic functioning of the markets they’re designed to tweak. They pervert the “price discovery” mechanism by dumping “free money” into equity markets. They distort “risk premiums” by steering money out of savings, where it earns less than nothing, into riskier investments subject to the vagaries of everything from weather (commodity markets) to control fraud (bank stocks) to geopolitics (Toyota stock). They debauch market expectations in general by implying permanent artificial life-support.

They promote market gaming such as front-running equity prices via high frequency trading on computers, naked shorting (pretending to borrow shares that, in fact, do not exist) and the abuse of futures markets — lately illustrated in the ongoing smash of paper gold and silver contracts, with the side effect of driving yet more money into stock markets. Finally, they undermine the meaning and value of money itself, which is the most dangerous game of all because when people lose confidence in their national currency, nations dissolve in political chaos.

Despite the aura of control, Fed officials (and casual observers) may sense things spinning out of control. Of

course, hyper-fragility is exactly the effect that all the Fed’s own actions would predictably lead to. When you divorce truth from reality, strange things are bound to happen. The Fed ventriloquists who speak through Hilsenrath at The Wall Street Journal suggest they would accomplish their exit from the current $85 billion-amonth QE policy in a set of “halting steps” by irregularly dialing down QE issuance month-by-month to fine-tune the results on-the-fly, as markets may require. This is also complete horses-t because they could only accomplish controlled tweakings by somehow signaling their intentions beforehand through some lackey like Hilsenrath.

Otherwise, they could not pretend to control the results of their actions. They might as well just throw spaghetti at the wall to see if it sticks. Unfortunately, the “halting steps” idea would only provide even more opportunities for selective, complex front-running, shorting, and gaming — which is to say setting up more dangerous behavior with more uncertain and possibly destructive outcomes.

Anyway, there’s no evidence at this moment that anyone believes what was leaked to Hilsenrath. It could easily be more smoke and mirrors aimed at concealing the fact that the Federal Reserve has no idea what it has been doing and fears the consequences. There is one thing that we know for sure in this strange period when bankers have tried to manage reality in the absence of truth: that advanced industrialtechnological economies designed to run on $20-a-barrel oil can’t run on $100-a-barrel oil, and that is why the U.S. economy was subject to financialization in the first place — to offset declining productive activity by an attempt to get something for nothing.

Notice that this macro-trend coincided exactly with the rise of legalized

gambling all over America. That is how the idea that you could get something for nothing got to be normal.

The world is about to find out that you really can’t get something for nothing.

It will be a harsh lesson.

Goal is restoring parental rights BENNETT from page 5

from happening, or, if politicians should make those decisions for us.

Our goal is to restore parental rights because people can take much better care of their children than the government.

Planned Parenthood says they want to help parents plan families yet support laws that remove parents from the picture, so, if parents aren’t planning

their families that means government is, through Planned Parenthood, and that takes away people’s choices and freedom.

Bill identifies ‘worst of the worst Window cap stolen from restaurant chemicals in children’s products’ Editor, Editor, At some point we have to say enough — enough to polluting our planet and causing our climate to change and enough to polluting our own bodies.

Practically everything we buy is manufactured in some faraway factory using a host of synthetic chemicals. What’s scary is that we’re only now beginning to scratch the surface of the impact of these chemicals on our bodies.

What is scarier is that these chemicals, like BPA, phthalates, and parabens are lurking in kid’s products right on the store shelves. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for a parent to shop for products for their kids that won’t affect their physical and mental development.

Fortunately, this isn’t an issue that has fallen on deaf ears in Augusta. LD 1181 would make sure that Maine is identifying the worst of the worst chemicals in children’s products, and help make a plan to start phasing them out of kids products. This is the least we can do to ensure that children in Maine are growing up in healthy environments and aren’t unwittingly being exposed to dangerous chemicals. I hope my legislators will support this bill and protect the health of Maine’s children.

Sincerely, Briana Hailey Portland

A historic Greek revival duplex at 127-129 Park St. in Portland has recently lost some of its defining exterior detail to theft. The house is one of two extant in the city that feature richly carved and scrolled window head trims, a creative modification of Greek-inspired detail possibly unique to Portland.

The other house remaining house with this detail is at 8 Sherbrooke St. on Munjoy Hill. The Park Street window caps had been taken down for paint removal, and one was temporarily displayed on the wall of the upstairs dining room of Bintliff’s Cafe on Portland Street. According to Bintliff’s owner Joe Catoggio, he took the piece down for cleaning recently. It was sitting on the floor leaning against a counter when a familiar customer noticed it and asked if they were going to throw it out. Employees thought the man was joking, but he suddenly left, scooping up the massive pine piece and shouldering it as he hurried out. He hasn’t returned since.

The loss of this trim, estimated value $2,000, is a severe setback to property owner Steve Whittier, who is trying to bring the Park Street property into compliance with Portland’s Historic Preservation ordinance. FMI please contact Steve Whittier (8796081) or Joe Catoggio (774-0005).

Legislative committee stops short of tar sands moratorium Opponents, supporters of tar sands respond to legislative panel’s action

By David Carkhuff THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN

The Maine Legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Environment and Natural Resources voted unanimously Monday afternoon to require the Maine Department of Environmental Protection to provide the committee with information about any risks associated with transporting tar sands through Maine but stopped short of imposing a moratorium.

“We amended the bill and took out the moratorium,” said Maine Rep. Ben Chipman, I-Portland, member of the committee and sponsor of the legislation. Originally, the bill, L.D. 1362, titled “Resolve, To Establish a Moratorium on the Transportation of Tar Sands,” would have placed a two-year moratorium on all transport of tar sands in Maine including transport by rail, truck or pipeline.

Differing legal opinions made some members of the committee uncomfortable, raising concerns of a challenge in court and about the consitutionality of a temporary ban, Chipman said.

“I just thought it would be better to get a unanimous vote and take action,” he said.

The committee voted unanimously “ought to pass” on the bill, so Chipman said he was confident it would clear both houses of the legislature.

Under the bill, Jan. 31, 2014 is the deadline for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection to return to the committee with a slate of information about tar sands oil, Chipman said.

Once the committee gets the report back from DEP, “if there’s something that concerns us ... then the bill voted on today reserves the right for my committee to report out a bill next spring,” Chipman said.

John Quinn, executive director of the New Eng-

land Petroleum Council, responded to the committee action by highlighting that legislators did not adopt a moratorium. He referred to a Portland City Council decision to drop a proposal to restrict tar sands petroleum purchases.

“Today the Legislature’s Environment and Natural Resources Committee unanimously joined the City of Portland in recognizing that bans on oil sands-derived petroleum products are unworkable, potentially reducing the availability of oil products in Maine and increasing energy costs,” Quinn said in a statement. “Decades of industry experience and independent evaluations like those conducted

by President Obama’s State Department show that oil-sands derived crude is similar in characteristics to traditionally extracted heavy crude when it comes to transportation. Industry and the regulatory community should continue to work collaboratively to reduce incident rates and prepare adequate responses in the unlikely event that a spill occurs.”

Debate over possible transport of “tar sands” oil from Montreal, Canada to South Portland has stirred up a variety of environmental concerns, as communities have wrestled with possible risks to Sebago Lake and other watersheds. But economic concerns have arisen as well. During a public forum in South Portland in March about possible transport of “tar sands” — also known as “oil sands” and bitumen — through New England, the CEO of the Portland Pipe Line Corporation, Larry Wilson, hinted that his company’s future is at stake in the debate.

Opponents of tar sands transport in Maine focused on the bill’s requirement for a study.

“We appreciate lawmakers’ concern about the major risks Maine faces from tar sands. We encourage them to not only demand information from the DEP but also to join with us to convince the federal government and officials in South Portland to act,” said Environment Maine Director Emily Figdor, in

a press release.

“The fact is that the state’s hands are tied because the federal government is the one that calls the shots when it comes to moving hazardous materials through pipelines and rail. That’s why it’s so important that Maine’s U.S. Senators step up and help protect Sebago Lake, Casco Bay, and our natural resource-based economy from the inevitable tar sands spill,” Figdor said.

Chipman acknowledged that the federal government could trump the state. “Federal law trumps state law in a lot of areas, but there are some things the state can do,” he said.

“We just need to make sure we’re prepared,” Chipman said.

Quinn said many of the arguments against “tar sands” oil are refuted not only by the industry but by the federal government.

Environment Maine noted it has asked the Obama administration, as recently as at a meeting in Washington, D.C. last week, to require a new Presidential Permit and to conduct a thorough environmental review before the Portland Pipe Line Corp. could reverse its 63-year-old pipeline to carry tar sands.

U.S. Reps. Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud sent the U.S. State Department a letter in February requesting such action, as have thousands of citizens across Maine, the group reported.

Under Chipman’s legislation, truck and rail transport would be part of the study as well.

“The important thing about my bill is it covers all transportation of tar sands, so it’s not just the pipeline,” Chipman said.

In his statement Monday, Quinn said, “The New England Petroleum Council supports the on-going efforts by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection to study responses to releases of Canadian Oil Sands crude and to keep elected officials informed of their findings.”

Mayor, superintendent urge residents to pass school budget Daily Sun Staff Reports

Both the mayor and superintendent are pushing voters to approve the proposed $96 million school budget. Portland voters today will weigh in on the proposed budget for the Portland Public Schools System. Both the Board of Education and the City Council endorsed a $96.36 million budget — which will increase the school’s portion of the tax rate by 3 percent.

“While this has been a difficult year with a number of challenges thrust upon us, the district has crafted a budget that maintains core academic programming while limiting the burden on Caulk Portland property taxpayers,” said Mayor Michael Brennan, during a press conference Monday.

Superintendent Emmanuel Caulk highlighted some of the programs in the budget including the creation of a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math program; continuing the pre-kindergarten

programs, world languages, co-curricular activities and adult education classes.

“We are moving our schools from good to great, and we need the support of Portland voters to help us continue that effort,” said Caulk in a press release.

During its budget preparation the school department had to account for a $1 million loss of general purpose aid from the state and that the funding levels would not be increased in the upcoming budget, according to a press release. The budget could take another hit if the Legislature passes the governor’s budget, which includes shifting teacher retirement costs and could cost the system $1.3 million.

Also on the ballot is a measure that asks residents if the referendum vote on the school budget should continue. Brennan said voters should discontinue the practice because of low turnout and significant costs associated with a referendum.

Sonja Julia Christiansen, 81 PORTLAND — Sonja Julia Christiansen, 81, passed away peacefully in her sleep on May 9, 2013.

She was born in Portland in 1931, where she resided all of her life. Her parents were Ole Christansen of Holbesjaelland, Denmark and Anastasia Cain of Portland. She grew up on Munjoy Hill and was an active part of the Danish community in Portland.

Sonja was a very hard worker, working in various industries on assembly lines. At one time she had asked for a raise. When her request was turned down, she left, but was promptly contacted, asked to return, and given an even bigger raise than she had asked for.

In 1955 she met John Dahlin of Oslo, Norway.

They were married in 1956. He was a Merchant Marine, who worked oil tankers that came into Portland Harbor. Sonja loved his sense of humor and the way he danced.

Sonja had a contagious sense of humor which was reflected in the laughter of all those who came in contact with her. She loved the American flag and was very patriotic. Children and animals made her smile. Sonja was a very giving person. She was always up for an adventure and, when 76 years old, took a helicopter ride over the city of Portland.

She also enjoyed drives along the coast and was very fond of the ocean.

She is survived by her four children, Margaret Dahlin, Sharron Goodwin, Dennis A. Smith, and Michael A. Smith.

A graveside service will be held Wednesday, May 15 at 11 a.m. at Brooklawn Memorial Park on Outer Congress Street in Portland. Arrangements by Jones, Rich, and Hutchins Funeral Home, Portland.

Cumberland County Civic Center Board, Building Committee meet Wednesday Daily Sun Staff Reports

The regular monthly meetings of the Cumberland County Civic Center Board of Trustees and the Civic Center Building Committee will be held on Wednesday, May 15.

The Building Committee Meeting will be at 8 a.m. Trustees are meeting at 9 a.m. Due to the renovation, both meetings will be held at Peter J. Feeney Conference Room, Cumberland County Courthouse, first floor annex, 142 Federal St., Portland.

In a related item, the city announced that starting this week and continuing into the fall, Spring Street in front of the Cumberland County Civic Center will be reduced to one lane in each direction for traffic. Both directions of traffic will be routed to the inbound lanes (south side of the median) away from the construction zone. The sidewalk between Center Street and the Spring Street Garage will be closed, and pedestrians will be routed to the opposite side of Spring Street.

This traffic change should have little impact on motorists, the city reported.

Work is already underway on Free Street, on the opposite side of the Civic Center. Sidewalk and street reconstruction have begun there, according to contractors.

Last fall, voters approved a $33 million renovation of the Civic Center.

Governor notes $50,000 in aid for Lewiston fire victims Maine Gov. Paul LePage announced Monday he is providing $50,000 toward the Lewiston Fire Relief Fund, which is administered by the United Way of Androscoggin County, in the wake of a series of devastating building fires in the city earlier this month.

The $50,000 donation, which will be provided from the governor’s contingency account, brings the Fire Relief Fund to $176,108, the governor’s office announced.

The Lewiston Fire Relief Fund was started on May 7 and, to date, has received 284 gifts ranging from $10 to $50,000, LePage said. LL Bean has made a $50,000 challenge gift; Central Maine Power’s Iberdrola USA Foundation contributed $10,000; Brann & Isaacson Attorneys, $5,000; TD Bank, $5,000; Central Distributors, $2,500; and Oxford Casino, $5,000.

takes one person to start the change. You’ll be the one to see things differently and to speak up about it. You’re not trying to play the rebel, but you can’t help but notice the corrupt aspects of the current system.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a strict moral code, though you rarely think about this until situations arise to challenge or remind you of it. Others will be influenced by the way you handle things.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Many requests will be made of you, but don’t let that keep you from doing what you really want to do. You’ll follow the purpose in your heart, and it will take you directly home.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 14). You push yourself toward high goals and reach some of them, too. Your motivation will vary from month to month as you continually seek new inspiration. The system you set up in June will make you richer by September. Your interest in foreign places and cultures will bring people together in November. Aries and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 22, 30 and 19.

by Paul Gilligan

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If your happiness seems to come in small doses today, consider yourself lucky. Enjoyment and brevity go hand in hand. Pleasure in excess becomes pain.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The things you habitually say to yourself to keep motivated will help a friend who could use encouragement. Being good to yourself always leads to being good to others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Uncomfortable feelings are like glasses that warp and distort your point of view. Don’t try to fix anything when you’re agitated. Get relaxed first.

To fix things, you must see them how they are and deal with them directly.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You usually respect authority, but every once in a while you get in one of your moods. Today you feel like breaking the rules, and you could probably get away with it, too, because you are so charming!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You love to be entertained, and you’ll be a good audience member. But you’ll also be keen on the difference between a fun story and a flat-out lie told for personal gain or social acceptance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll do a bit of wizardry on your physical image and discover your knack for the fairy magic called “glamour.” Did you know that before Hollywood took over the term it was associated with tiny nature spirits?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When does optimism become unrealism? You’ll have fun finding out. You are feeling extra-fanciful now and in just the whimsical mood to stretch the boundaries of your mind and imagination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Many will seek your counsel. Feel good about this, as it’s a sign that you’re a leader. When people want to talk to you, it means they respect you and your input matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The conspiracy theorists and those who pay regular visits to a mental playground of morbidity feed on the attention of others. Don’t buy in.

Stay on the bright side.

On this date: In 1643, Louis XIV became King of France at age 4 upon the death of his father, Louis XIII. In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner inoculated 8-year-old James Phipps against smallpox by using cowpox matter.

In 1804, the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the Louisiana Territory as well as the Pacific Northwest left camp near present-day Hartford, Ill. In 1863, Union forces defeated the Confederates in the Battle of Jackson, Miss.

In 1900, the Olympic games opened in Paris, held as part of the 1900 World’s Fair.

In 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation was founded in New York.

In 1942, Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait” was first performed by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

In 1948, according to the current-era calendar, the independent state of Israel was proclaimed in Tel Aviv.

In 1961, Freedom Riders were attacked by violent mobs in Anniston and Birmingham, Ala. In 1973, the National Right to Life Committee was incorporated.

In 1988, 27 people, mostly teens, were killed when their church bus collided with a pickup truck going the wrong direction on a highway near Carrollton, Ky. (Truck driver Larry Mahoney served 9½ years in prison for manslaughter.)

In 1998, singer-actor Frank Sinatra died at a Los Angeles hospital at age 82. The hit sitcom “Seinfeld” aired its final episode after nine years on NBC. Ten years ago: More than 100 immigrants were abandoned in a locked trailer at a Texas truck stop; 19 of them died. (Truck driver Tyrone Williams was later sentenced to nearly 34 years in prison for his role in the deaths; of the 13 others indicted in the case, two had charges against them dismissed, one who cooperated with prosecutors was sentenced to the three days in jail and the others were given sentences ranging from 14 months to 23 years.) In Chechnya, a female suicide bomber killed 18 people in an apparent attempt on the life of the Moscow-backed chief administrator (Akhmad Kadyrov).

Five years ago: President George W. Bush opened a celebratory visit to Israel, which was marking the 60th anniversary of its birth. John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination during a surprise appearance at a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich. The Interior Department declared the polar bear a threatened species because of the loss of Arctic sea ice.

One year ago: President Barack Obama sought to tarnish Republican Mitt Romney as a corporate titan who got rich by cutting rather than creating jobs; Romney’s campaign responded that the former Massachusetts governor alone had helped spur more public and private jobs than Obama did for the nation.

WET BASEMENTS,

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 15 years and recently decided to try an open-marriage lifestyle. We are doing this with full honesty and respect for each other.

The main problem is that the dating success is not equal. I found it easier to get a date. Whereas, my husband is having a tremendous degree of difficulty. He has online dating profiles, but no luck. I am seeing someone who is a wonderful person, but I want my husband to experience new things along with me.

Open marriage is still considered taboo, and it is extremely important to my husband and me that we are honest about our marital status with any prospective date. Even though he is happy for me, I feel compelled to help him. But I’m not sure how to do it without overstepping unspoken boundaries. -Open but Lost Dear Open: Are you sure your husband wants this as much as you do? He may have agreed to the arrangement only to please you. We think you need to have this discussion again and let your commitment to honesty lead the way. Ask your husband whether he is truly happy with the idea of an open marriage and, if so, what you can do to make things easier for him. Marriage, “open” or otherwise, requires the ability to communicate.

Dear Annie: Would you please address the distinction between “dinner” and “supper”? I’ve heard many people refer to the evening meal as dinner, but the definition of an evening meal is supper. I even heard a prominent newscaster refer to the president as sitting down with a guest at the White House for “dinner” tonight, but if they are sitting down at night, it is clearly supper. -- Stickler in the South Dear Stickler: In most parts of the U.S. and Canada, these words are used interchangeably. However, there are regional

distinctions, which might explain why this bothers you so much.

According to most definitions, “dinner” refers to the main meal of the day. Back in the Middle Ages, people often ate the main meal at lunchtime. Now we tend to eat it much later, but it is still called “dinner” regardless of the time. “Supper” refers to a lighter meal taken later in the evening and is often used interchangeably with “tea.” The word “dinner” also is used when referring to a formal meal or banquet (hence the president’s dinners), and “supper” is always a less formal affair. We hope that answers your question. Thanks for the change of pace.

Dear Annie: In response to “Wife of the Plumber,” I have only one thing to say: Get out while the gettin’ is good!

Her husband is a total narcissist, and nothing is going to change him. Narcissists are superb at conning people, especially those who love them. We are the ones they treat the worst, because we have that unrealistic hope that given time things will improve.

After almost half a century, I can attest to the fact that no matter how many chances you give, no matter how many promises they make and no matter how much you love them or how hard you work, it will never change. They see nothing wrong with themselves. It is always the other person’s fault.

They will not seek help.

I urge her not to throw her life away on someone who will never be there for her. I hoped too much and loved too strongly, and although still legally married, I have finally reached the point of emotionally withdrawing from my self-made prison. If leaving is not feasible, she needs to protect herself and her children from the extreme damage that is done by living with this type of person. And get counseling. -- Been There, Done That and Escaped
