Maine observed a moment of silence on Monday to mark one week following the Boston Marathon bombings. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino called for the minute of silence to take place at 2:50 p.m. on Monday to honor the victims of the attacks and their families. In Maine, Gov. Paul LePage called for a similar commemoration. Portland firefighters (from left) Lt. Ed Dexter, firefighters Dave Carter and Wendell Howard and Lt. Robert Slaving mark the moment Monday at the Central Fire Station. In Boston, the city issued a press release offering thanks for all of the community support and encouraging the public to visit onefundboston.org to make a donation to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Studying dog minds
THEMARKET
3DAYFORECAST
(NY Times) — Humans, are exquisitely sensitive to signals from other humans. We use that information to solve problems that we might struggle to figure out on our own. Dr. Michael Tomasello Tomasello discovered that chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, typically fail to notice much of this social information. Pointing to the location of a hidden banana will usually not help a chimp find the banana, Perhaps the pointing test revealed something important about how the human mind evolved. But Dr. Brian Hare had his doubts. “I think my dog can do that,” he declared. Hare videotaped Oreo chasing after tennis balls. And indeed, when he pointed left or right, off the dog would run, in the indicated direction, to find a ball. He then followed up with a full-blown experiment, using food hidden under cups in his garage; Oreo consistently picked out the right cup after Hare pointed to it, and other dogs (including some who had never seen Hare) did well too. Dr. Hare and his colleagues finally published their results: Dogs could indeed pass the pointing test, while wolves, their wild relatives, could not. Now Hare hopes to expand his research — with the help of dog owners around the world. He is the chief scientific officer of a new company called Dognition, which produces a Web site where people can test their dog’s cognition, learn about their pets and, Hare hopes, supply him and his colleagues with scientific data on tens of thousands of dogs.

Bomb suspect charged and could face the death penalty BOSTON (NY Times) — The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings was charged on Monday with using a “weapon of mass destruction” that resulted in three deaths and more than 200 injuries, as law enforcement officials provided the most detailed account of the bombing to date. The suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was charged in a criminal complaint and appeared before a federal magistrate
who came to his bedside at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, officials said. Mr. Tsarnaev is being treated for what the court papers described as possible gunshot wounds to the “head, neck, legs, and hand.” Magistrate Judge Marianne B. Bowler advised Tsarnaev of his rights and the charges against him, according to a summary of the proceeding provided by the court. In a criminal complaint
unsealed Monday in United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Tsarnaev was charged with one count of “using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction” against persons and property within the United States resulting in death, and one count of “malicious destruction of property by means of an explosive device resulting in death” in last week’s bombings.
Police: Arrested in Canada planned to train attack OTTAWA (NY Times) — The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said that they had arrested two men on Monday who had been planning to derail a passenger train. But they offered few details of the plot or their evidence at a news conference in Toronto called to announce the arrests. Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said that the two suspects had received “direction and guidance” from “Al Qaeda elements living in Iran,” but
“
The dog is the god of frolic.” — Henry Ward Beecher
that there was no evidence that the effort was sponsored by the government of Iran. He declined to explain how the link to Al Qaeda had been made. The two suspects were identified as Chiheb Esseghaier, 35, who has been living in Toronto, and Raed Jaser, 30, who has been living in Montreal. The police said they were not Canadian citizens, but declined to identify their nationalities or to describe their immigration status in Canada.

N.Y. proposes age limit of 21 to buy cigarettes (NY Times) — Young New Yorkers would not be able to buy cigarettes until they were 21, up from the current 18, under a proposal advanced Monday by Dr. Thomas A. Farley, the city’s health commissioner, and Christine C. Quinn, the City Council speaker. The proposal, which would give New York the highest smoking age in the country among major cities, is the latest effort in a long campaign to limit smoking that began soon after Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg took office, with bans on smoking in restaurants and bars, and expanding more recently to bans at parks, beaches, plazas and other public places. The new proposal would make the age for buying cigarettes the same as for buying liquor, but it would not make it illegal for people under 21 to possess or smoke cigarettes. Surveys suggest youth smoking has been declining in New York City, perhaps, some analysts say, because young people have been influenced by the public health campaigns and never taken it up to begin with.

Aftershocks If the FBI can track down two homicidal Chechen nobodies inside of forty-eight hours of their Boston bombing caper, you kind of wonder how come the Bureau can’t detect the odor of racketeering, insider trading, and wire fraud in this month’s orchestrated smackdown of the gold futures markets, including the parts played by the Federal Reserve, one or more too-big-to-fail banks, self-interested big money players such as George Soros, slumbering regulators at the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, and tractable editors at The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Of course, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who oversees the FBI, has done a fair imitation of a Brooks Brothers store window mannequin for four years, but surely somewhere in the trackless labyrinth of American law enforcement there ––––– exists some dogged rogue Kunstler.com investigator with a filament of nagging curiosity who might piece together the clunky train of events that may amount to the financial crime of the century. For instance, it can’t be so difficult to determine who was behind the several hundred ton mass dump of paper gold contracts a week or so ago. There must be a pretty simple record of the transaction, retrievable with a warrant or a subpoena. Whatever entity did it — still ostensibly unknown — knowingly generated losses in the neighborhood of a billion dollars for itself. Was this just the cost of doing business? Or a favor owed, say, from a bank to its godfathers at the Fed, carried out to make the dollar look relatively a lot less unsound than it really is? Or a ruse to allow the custodians of bullion in US depositories re-acquire at bargain prices gold that has been stealthily hypothicated into oblivion? Or just to divert attention from their inability to make good on contracted deliveries of actual physical gold. No official has yet answered why the Federal Reserve Bank of New York told the German government a couple of months ago that it would take seven years to return that country’s gold held in safekeeping (across the ocean from the Russians)

In the aftermath of Boston
Over the past week, we have been transfixed by an event of terror. As a person who has stood at the very spot where the bombs wreaked havoc, stood there with dozens of students on Patriot’s Day to celebrate the accomplishments of personal dedication. my heart reaches out to all the individuals and families who were injured by terrorism. My first reaction to the tragic events was respect as I watched hundreds of individuals on the scene risk their personal safety to run toward the danger and offer help. Learning the stories of John Mixon of Wells, Maine and his friend Carlos Arrendondo encouraged me with the strength of humanity. Photos of Dr. Robert Parisien from Biddeford, Maine treating a severely injured child and others risking their lives to save injured people made me proud of the common human spirit. I like to think that I would react with the same compassion if I were ever faced with a similar dangerous situation. Once again I applaud the first responders and the continuing responders who give of themselves tirelessly to protect and aid the victims. On further consideration I am concerned that the long term effect of terrorism has distracted attention from the serious issues facing our society. I am concerned that patriotic fervor will make us forget the urgent problems in our
Robert Libby –––––
One Man’s Island mundane pursuits of civic virtue. News media have devoted roundthe-clock wall-to-wall coverage of every aspect of the terrorist event. Scant time and resources remained for the consideration of how a minority of senators could stop debate on any strengthening of background checks for purchase of weapons and ammunition for assault weapons. Online commenters sarcastically wondered if there would be a demand for background checks of pressure cookers. What type of weapons did the terrorists possess? What type of weapon was used to kill the police officer killed in the manhunt? Where did they get them? More importantly in the long run is the spectacle of 46 senators stopping debate regardless of the professed will of the people to get something done. I am concerned about the effect of this terrorist event on the current attempt to create immigration reform, an attempt that is foundering against opposition based on controlling borders. Critics point at the tragic event as proof that people with foreign names, for-
eign attitudes, and foreign beliefs need to be kept out. Feeding the flames of ethnic hatred has never benefited civil society. Reasoned analysis of how best to advance a nation based on immigration will be attacked by xenophobic emotion to raise the barricades and repel invaders. There is a strange electoral dynamic between extreme edges of the political spectrum. Events like this provide fuel for the most radically paranoid elements of our society. Being influenced by history, I am reminded of the political ambition of A. Mitchell Palmer and the vigilante like “Palmer Raids” of 1920. Citizens often sacrifice civil liberties when they feel threatened by events. Racial and ethnic stereotypes can overwhelm reason and fairness. Also I note that April 22 was Earth Day, and the urgent consideration of how best to save the natural world from future degradation needs the strongest emphasis. We have urgent decisions to be made about the preservation of the ecological system that supports humanity. The understandable focus on the horrible Patriot’s Day tragedy has the potential to distract us from equally extreme disastrous outcomes.

Noran unemployment rate of 5 percent or more even mally these two numbers move inversely: the more in good times. In these good times, however, spells job openings, the fewer Americans out of work. And of unemployment are typically brief. Back in 2007 this traditional relationship remains true if we look there were about seven million unemployed Ameriat short-term unemployment. But as William Dick-
Paul Krugman
ens and Rand Ghayad of Northeastern University recently showed, the relationship has broken down for the long-term unemployed: a rising number of job openings doesn’t seem to do much to reduce their numbers. It’s as if employers don’t even bother looking at anyone who has been out of work for a long time. To test this hypothesis, Mr. Ghayad then did an experiment, sending out résumés describing the qualifications and employment history of 4,800 fictitious workers. Who got called back? The answer was that workers who reported having been unemployed for six months or more got very few callbacks, even when all their other qualifications were better than those of workers who did attract employer interest. So we are indeed creating a permanent class of jobless Americans. And let’s be clear: this is a policy decision. The main reason our economic recovery has been so weak is that, spooked by fear-mongering over debt, we’ve been doing exactly what basic macroeconomics says you shouldn’t do — cutting government spending in the face of a depressed economy. It’s hard to overstate how self-destructive this policy is. Indeed, the shadow of long-term unemployment means that austerity policies are counterproductive even in purely fiscal terms. Workers, after all, are taxpayers too; if our debt obsession exiles millions of Americans from productive employment, it will cut into future revenues and raise future deficits. Our exaggerated fear of debt is, in short, creating a slow-motion catastrophe. It’s ruining many lives, and at the same time making us poorer and weaker in every way. And the longer we persist in this folly, the greater the damage will be.
Doesn’t anybody want some answers to these questions? KUNSTLER from page 4
since the Cold War. The NY Fed must have a vessel under contract that makes the proverbial slow boat to China look like an ICBM. Doesn’t anybody want some answers to these questions, including how come the two aforementioned major newspapers published front-page stories calculated to justify, if not provoke, the most extreme negative sentiment in the precious metals markets, seemingly coordinated with Goldman Sachs advisories to short those markets? And what about a glance at the trading records to see who executed massive naked shorts? Wouldn’t it be interesting if they were the same parties as the dumpers? And why? — other than a strenuous intervention in the markets to make those markets look unreliable? Does anyone even remember that the purpose of financial exchanges is to verify and authenticate the clearing of trades to provide confidence that markets are honest so that real business can be conducted? What the interveners have accomplished is only to prove that the gold and silver derivatives markets are unreliable. They may have smashed the trade in that kind of paper, but only achieved a firmer divergence between the derivatives markets and the bullion markets where, for example, the premiums on delivery of silver ounces makes the price
exactly equal to the pre-smackdown price. Anyway, nobody believes that the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) or that the New York Commodity Exchange (COMEX) can deliver. Meanwhile, runs on bullion contracts were starting to uncover a contagion of swindling in precious metals obligations that pervaded the western banking system. It was not a coincidence that the smackdown happened three weeks after the Dutch bank ABN Amro notified clients that it would only satisfy demands
for redemptions of gold held in its custody with equivalent cash payments. “No gold for you today!” A fair inference based on subsequent events would be that all the custodians of physical gold bullion have misreported their holdings. And now that actions by the European Union and its agents have ventured into the dangerous territory of plain confiscation, there is not a whole lot of faith throughout the western world by people who are paying attention that an account of any kind in any financial institution is safe. There is good reason to fear runs on everything. Because the smackdown organizers pulled off their operation in a panic, they probably ignored the potential further negative consequences of their stratagem, namely a worsening loss of confidence in banks generally and in the trade of abstract financial instruments in particular, including currencies. Nervous public officials may be brooding on imminent “bailins” and currency controls, but the public may be ready to bail out of the prevailing banking model into things that have been considered more money than “money” for a few thousand years, namely real gold and silver. The basic fact remains: there isn’t enough to go around.

Maine Angels earn notoriety for small-business assistance BY TIMOTHY GILLIS SPECIAL TO THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
The Maine Angels, a group of local investors, made the top ten in the nation for investment activity, according to a recent press release. The Maine Angels are accredited private equity investors who help entreStone preneurs by investing in and mentoring early stage companies, according to their website, maineangels.org. “Our goal is to make sound investments in promising New England entrepreneurs with an emphasis on Maine businesses,” the site says. The Angel Resource Institute (ARI), Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and CB Insights recently released the 2012 Halo Report, a national survey of angel group investment activity. The survey highlighted four firms in the northeast, with Maine Angels listed at No. 10. “The report shows angel investing for the year was stable with prior years. Pre money valuations for early-stage companies remained steady at $2.5M and round sizes were relatively consistent. The sectors and geographies getting funding are shifting, however, most notably with mobile and telecom companies gaining share of angel investment deals and dollars, while healthcare companies are losing share of angel investments,” the press release read. “Companies in the Northwest and the Southwest U.S. are gaining ground on the number of deals and total investments they receive over companies in California and New England.” “Angel investors continue to play an important role in funding startups,” said Rob Wiltbank, vice chairman of research at the Angel Resource Institute. “The steady valuation, growth in investment size, and wide geographic activity among angel investors is more evidence that angels are a reliable and a critical part of growing the next generation of great new companies in this country.”
Wiltbank presented the 2012 Halo Report during the 2013 Angel Capital Association Summit, which just took place in San Francisco. The Summit, with the theme, “Navigating Change for Angel Success,” was the largest worldwide gathering of angel investors and hosted 600 attendees from 27 countries, 38 states and five Canadian provinces. Sandra Stone, chair of Maine Angels, said the Maine Seed Capital Tax credit had been a major incentive for companies and investors to close deals last year, but since it capped out in January, “We have seen a real slowdown in our investments now this year.” Maine investments for 2012 were $1,525,000 in eight companies — Zylo Media, Cerahelix, Pika Energy, Newfield Design, Gelato Fiasco, Academic Merit, Maine Wealth Partners, and Abierto Networks, she said. The Maine Angels is a membership organization that was started in 2003 by Charles Sidman, of Bar Harbor, who now manages a fund for investments. “Most of the people involved have a direct interest in trying to promote Maine, and Northeast companies,” Stone said. “Telephone companies, hospitals and pharmaceuticals, finance specialists. We try to tap into each member’s strengths.” They hold monthly meetings to have people pitch their new companies, looking for funding of around $50,000. “We look at marketability and scalability,” Stone said. “There is a lot of legal stuff that has to go on, to protect all the parties. You’re better off going to a bank if you need less than that.” There are 22 other New England angel groups, and the Maine outfit shares deals with them. “Each person brings a new set of eyes and expertise, as well as money to invest, which is really the lifeblood of the company,” Stone said. “The average deal is about $250,000, but we don’t always take all of that.” The Small Enterprise Growth Fund and Maine Technology Institute help out. “MTI, in addition to grants and loans, are now doing some equity investing,” she said. “The more people you have to share the risk the better.”

In letter to Kerry, N.H. governor urges thorough review of ‘tar sands’ BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN (N.H.) DAILY SUN
CONCORD, N.H. — New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan has asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to require a thorough environmental review and permitting process before allowing the Portland Pipeline to transport any tar sands oil though affected towns. Hassan noted the Portland Pipe Line Corporation has indicated it is considering reversing the flow on Hassan its 236-mile pipeline from Portland to Montreal to carry diluted bitumen oil, or “tar sands oil” from Alberta. The governor said the state has limited authority over such pipelines but under federal law, the Secretary of State has the authority to issue a presidential permit for the construction, connection, operation, or maintenance of certain facilities, including pipelines, at the borders of the United States with Canada. That authority applies to substantial modifications of existing crossings at the international border as well as new border crossings. “I am writing to ask you to act to protect New Hampshire’s economy and environment. The State of New Hampshire has limited authority over pipelines that cross state borders and therefore relies heavily on federal review and regulation. It also receives little or no benefit from their presence in the state. However, should anything go wrong with such a pipeline — a leak or worse — New Hampshire’s taxpayers bear the responsibility and cost of cleanup,” Hassan wrote. “Moreover, the residents of the five towns through which the decades-old pipeline crosses — Lancaster, Jefferson, Randolph, Gorham and Shelburne — are likely to suffer the most direct impact of any spill or leak. It is also likely that our rivers and streams would bear the brunt of the environmental impact of a release, threaten-
ing the vital tourism industry and natural resources on which the entire state relies,” Hassan continued. Portland Pipe Line actually has two pipelines, although one has not been in use since 2010. At an informational meeting in Randolph this winter, Portland Pipe Line CEO Larry Wilson said there was no current plan to transport tar sands on the pipeline. But he said the company was looking at various alternatives to maximize use of the two pipelines. Hassan noted in 2008 the Trailbreaker project proposed to move diluted bitumen from Alberta to Portland using the Montreal to Portland Pipe Line. That project was shelved because of economic reasons but Hassan said she is concerned it will be resurrected. The governor noted there is a lack of consensus surrounding best practices for tar sands oil pipelines. She said there is a study underway to determine whether diluted bitumen is more likely than other crude oils to cause leaks and spills. Hassan referenced the 2010 spill in Michigan that leaked over 800,000 gallons of diluted bitumen, contaminating a 30-mile stretch of the Kalamazoo River. She noted 150 families have been relocated and clean-up costs have exceeded $765 million. The possibility of reversing the flow on the Portland Pipe Line has drawn widespread concern in the three northern states. Earlier this year, 18 members of Congress including U.S. Representatives Ann Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter, both of New Hampshire, sent a letter to the Obama administration requesting a full environmental review and a new presidential permit be required for any plan to transport Canadian tar sands oil on the Portland Pipe Line. Vermont officials have ruled reversing the flow would require the company to go through an Act 250 review process, which is the state’s environmental law. The Maine communities of Casco, Bethel, and Waterford have passed resolutions opposing any plan to pump tar sands through the pipeline network.

tures, free webinars, and advice from their resource center. They have 13 partners working with them, including American Airlines who is flying them around the country. “Phase 1 is about inspiration and support,” Reiniger said. “We know there has to be a Phase 2. It’s definitely clear that we can’t stop now.” The Tuesday webinar will help businesses understand that “proper credit management and monitoring systems yield a wealth of information to help company owners evaluate risk and spot opportunities,” according to the website http://thankyousmallbusiness.com. Two Portland companies are actively involved with Thank You Small Business, Reiniger said. Andy Charles, owner of Haven’s Candies, and Kate Northrup and Mike Watts, of Usana, a global vitamins and health products company, are key players in the local market. Reiniger credits her friendship with Northrup for coming to Portland in the first place, and says the energized experience they had here is what is bringing them back.

Amid Midtown building plans, council approves easing height restrictions in parts of Bayside BY CRAIG LYONS THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN
A proposed development that will add market rate housing, retail space and parking in Bayside is just the type of development the city has wanted to see in that neighborhood, according to the City Council, and led to the approval of a zoning amendment that will ease the height limitations for buildings along Somerset and Franklin streets. The council unanimously approved a series of zoning amendments that will ease the height limitations for buildings in Bayside and help further a new mixed use development on Somerset Street. The proposed amendment will allow for buildings on a parcel that runs from Somerset Street to Marginal Way and another series of lots abutting Franklin Street to have 125-foot tall structures, with the possibility of going up to 165 feet. The request to amend the zoning code was made by the developers of the Federated Companies’ Midtown project. “This is transformative,” said Greg Shinberg, who was representing Federated companies. He said the project will benefit the whole city since Portland needs housing, mixed use buildings and density. “This is the project we’ve been waiting for,” said Councilor Kevin Donoghue. Many other proposals for that site have come and gone, he said, and the Federated project is by far the best. Donoghue said the Midtown project satisfies many of the priorities outlined in the “New Vision for Bayside” study that was completed in 2000. He said it

creates a critical mass of market-rate housing that’s needed in the city and take pressure off the existing housing market. Councilor David Marshall said the project is the “most exciting development proposal that I’ve seen,” and that’s primarily due to the housing units. He said the creation of the market-rate units will help balance out the number of affordable housing units that have been built in the city during the past decade. “I think that this is a strong project,” he said. The Planning Board endorsed the easing of the
height limitations in March by a 4-1 vote. The proposed site for the Midtown project sits in a district that allows a maximum building height of 105 feet and would be too limiting to meet the required density to make the project feasible, developers said. The Midtown project — which was formerly known as the Maritime Landing project — is being proposed for a former scrap yard on Somerset Street. The development will include 675 market see MIDTOWN page 13

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher John Lackey hurled 3 2/3 innings of shutout baseball Monday night during a rehab appearance with the Portland Sea Dogs. The imposing 6 foot, 6 inch right hander was applauded by fans after his 67-pitch, three-hit, five-strikeout and two-walk performance. Lackey is recovering from a strained right bicep that forced him out of his first start of the season on April 7. The Sea Dogs went on to win the game 8-2. Boston Red Sox pitcher Craig Breslow is slated to pitch today at 6 p.m. at Hadlock Field against Binghamton. Breslow was placed on the disabled list on March 31 (retroactive to March 22) with left shoulder tendinitis. The 32-year-old is in his second stint with the Red Sox organization after being acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 31, 2012. (KEN LEVINSKY PHOTO)

Elizabeth (Liz) Bridget Keniston SOUTH PORTLAND — Elizabeth (Liz) Bridget Keniston died Friday morning, April 19, 2013, at the South Portland Nursing Home. Her son Richard was with her when she passed. The daughter of Irish immigrants, Martin and Bridget Joyce, Liz grew up on Munjoy Hill in Portland, with her two younger brothers, Thomas and Martin. Liz grew up during the depression and World War II, but, regardless, thrived in the melting-pot of Jews, Italians, and Irish that had settled on the Hill. Liz had a quick smile, striking red hair, a warm manner, and the gift of the gab — she could make friends with anyone. Liz graduated from Cathedral High School in 1944. While still in High School she began working for the telephone company and stayed on after graduation. On New Year’s Eve 1946, she met her true love, Richard (Chick) L. Keniston, who had recently returned from Navy duty in the Pacific. They were married on September 9, 1950, and together raised seven children in Portland and Augusta, and ultimately settled in Cape Elizabeth in 1973. Amid the chaos of seven children, Chick and Liz created a safe and loving home for family and friends. All were welcome and no one left hungry. Liz was a devout Catholic and had a strong faith. She loved
dancing and music and would often carry a tune while working. For decades she sang her children and grandchildren to sleep (although she had a habit of mangling lyrics). Liz is predeceased by her parents, Martin and Bridget Joyce; and her husband, Richard Keniston. Elizabeth (Liz) Bridget Keniston She is survived by her seven children, Martin C. Keniston and his wife Linda of Readfield, Richard L. Keniston, Jr., of Portland, Thomas F. Keniston of Marina del Rey, Calif., Joseph P. Keniston and his wife Judy of Saco, Peter S. Keniston and his wife Katherine of South Portland, Ann E. Keniston and her partner Kathleen Garcia of Los Angeles, Calif. and Patrick J. Keniston and his wife Polly of Cape Elizabeth; 11 grandchildren, Marybeth Keniston, Jeffrey Keniston, Katelyn Keniston, Stephanie Keniston, Joshua Keniston, Tyler Keniston, CariAnna Keniston, Joey Keniston, Braedon Keniston, Sarah Keniston, and Lucy Keniston; and two great-grandchildren, Madelyn Sheehan and Aiden Sheehan. Visiting hours were to be held at Conroy-Tully Crawford South Portland Chapel, 1024 Broadway, South Portland, Maine on Monday, April 22, from 4-7 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, April 23, at 10 a.m. at The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 307 Congress Street, Portland, Maine.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston
today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It is generally agreed that too many cooks in the kitchen, chiefs in the tribe or multitudes of any other kind of ruler will not bring good results. Let there be one king now, and let that king be you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Remind yourself of your deeper purpose, even if you think you know it intrinsically. This is how you prevent the distractions of the day from sending you on a quest for short-term gains. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This is a busy time for you. If you try to cram too much in, you’ll waste time and mobility feeling overwhelmed. To empower yourself instead, narrow your list and take things one item at a time. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 23). Your spiritual development helps to elevate your experience of life. It won’t matter whether your pleasures are many or few; your enjoyment of them will be intense. An authority will note your wise handling of a knotty problem, and you’ll be promoted. Increased funding and responsibilities improve other areas of your life. Capricorn and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 33, 15 and 39.
by Paul Gilligan
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re attracted to the interesting choices of others. Those who make ordinary, expected choices will lose you unless they adapt quickly to the strong need for novelty you feel now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Doing well is a matter of putting in the time. Your enjoyment of a process is a plus that makes work a pleasure, but it’s not necessary for the win. Victory depends on focused efforts over time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What you accomplish isn’t nearly as important as how you go about it. To say that you are centered now would be an understatement. You are also calm, clear and sourced by a power from within. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The problem with doing your research now is that the advice and data you gather will likely be contradictory, making the decision-making process even more confusing than it seemed when you knew nothing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your social graces are in top form. You’re inviting, and you make it easy for people to get to know who you are, what you’re about and how to be a part of that. This helps in business, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re a leader who likes to follow; it’s how you learned effective leadership in the first place. Knowing what others need and how to direct them requires that you see the scene from many perspectives. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are those who just can’t shake the notion that talking about things makes them better. That’s not always true. In fact, talking about things is likely to make them worse. Know the power of silence. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s something about your work that you enjoy immensely, and the most productive part of your day occurs because you dwell a while in that feeling, ignoring all else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People will praise you, but beware: Pride goeth before the fall. Indeed, a puffed-up high-andmighty feeling lends just the altitude necessary for a dramatic drop. Humility is the way

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, April 23, the 113th day of 2013. There are 252 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 23, 1943, U.S. Navy Lt. (jg) John F. Kennedy assumed command of PT-109, a motor torpedo boat, in the Solomon Islands during World War II. (On Aug. 2, 1943, PT-109 was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer, the Amagiri, killing two crew members; Kennedy and 10 others managed to survive.) On this date: In 1616, English poet and dramatist William Shakespeare, 52, died on what has been traditionally regarded as the anniversary of his birth in 1564. In 1789, President-elect George Washington and his wife, Martha, moved into the first executive mansion, the Franklin House, in New York. In 1910, former President Theodore Roosevelt delivered his famous “Man in the Arena” speech at the Sorbonne in Paris. In 1940, about 200 people died in the Rhythm Night Club Fire in Natchez, Miss. In 1954, Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves hit the first of his record 755 major-league home runs in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. (The Braves won, 7-5.) In 1968, student protesters began occupying buildings on the campus of Columbia University in New York; police put down the protests a week later. In 1969, Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to death for assassinating New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. (The sentence was later reduced to life.) In 1988, a federal ban on smoking during domestic airline flights of two hours or less went into effect. In 1993, labor leader Cesar Chavez died in San Luis, Ariz., at age 66. In 1998, James Earl Ray, who’d confessed to assassinating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and then insisted he’d been framed, died at a Nashville, Tenn., hospital at age 70. In 2007, Boris Yeltsin, the first freely elected Russian president, died in Moscow at age 76. Ten years ago: Global health officials warned travelers to avoid Beijing and Toronto, where they might get the SARS virus and export it to new locations. U.S. negotiators met with North Korean and Chinese representatives in Beijing for the first three-way meeting by the governments since the Korean War. Five years ago: President George W. Bush, pushing for a Mideast peace agreement, met at the White House with Jordan’s King Abdullah II. Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced that Army Gen. David Petraeus would be nominated by President George W. Bush to be the next commander of U.S. Central Command. The Supreme Court unanimously affirmed that police had the power to conduct searches and seize evidence, even when done during an arrest that turned out to have violated state law. The Chicago Cubs won their 10,000th game, joining the Giants in reaching that mark with a 7-6 victory in 10 innings at Colorado. One year ago: The government reported that Social Security was rushing even faster toward insolvency, with its trust funds expected to run dry in 2033, three years earlier than previously projected.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: Did you know that an estimated 16 million youth participate in volunteer activities in the U.S. every year, and that by volunteering, these young people will perform better in school? These amazing kids do everything from collecting stuffed animals for children who are victims of tragedy to creating sustainable gardens in urban communities. All of these remarkable youth have a common goal: to raise awareness and solve the problems facing the world today. To celebrate their ingenuity, idealism and passion, please remind your readers that the 25th Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) will take place April 26-28, 2013. Last year, young people around the world came together and participated in nearly 4,500 projects. Additionally, thousands of community partners in more than 106 countries brought together millions of young people to strengthen their communities through the power of youth service. For more information, your readers can visit www.GYSD.org. Sincerely -- Steven A. Culbertson President and CEO Youth Service America Dear Steven Culbertson: Thanks so much for letting us once again mention Global Youth Service Day. Young people all over the world do such fantastic and helpful volunteer work, not only on this day, but every day of the year. Global Youth Service Day provides more opportunities for everyone to get involved. We hope all of our readers, young and old, teachers and students, will check out your website. Dear Annie: My husband is 75 and seems fit and able. The problem is, he likes to fix the doors to our pool cage in the open position. The first time he did it, I went ballistic, pointing out the liability: There are children in this neighborhood who could wander in and easily drown in our pool. I said I would leave if he did it again. Yesterday, he did it again. So, I’m thinking he wants me to leave. What recourse do I have when my husband seems mentally fit but begins to exhibit such terrible

behaviors? I’m fairly sure he would pass a mental competency test, if I could get him to take one. Is this abuse? Should I find a lawyer? How do I do that? -- Sarasota, Fla. Dear Sarasota: This doesn’t sound like abuse, but we agree that your husband may not be as mentally competent as he outwardly appears. Does your local police department or neighborhood association issue fines for leaving pool gates open? If so, report your husband and ask them to give him a citation. You also could purchase a new lock to which only you have the key. Then talk to your husband and ask what’s going on. If he wants you to leave, you can find a lawyer through your state or county bar association. But also, please suggest he get a complete checkup. Dear Annie: “Disgusted” was annoyed with charities that send little gifts to guilt him into sending money. Here are my suggestions: Always check a charity’s privacy policy before you donate. Some of the best charities sell their mailing lists. Do NOT give your name and address if you don’t know their privacy policy. If you want to donate, send a money order. They still get the donation, you still get a tax receipt, and you maintain your privacy. Check with Charity Navigator (charitynavigator.org) to find out how much of a charity’s money goes toward its purpose as compared to administrative costs. If the charity includes a stamped envelope, fold up every piece of paper they sent, cram it in there and put the following message near your name: “Delete this address from your mailing list. Do not sell, trade, share or otherwise distribute this address with any other mailing list.” We spent a lot of time and effort cleaning up my motherin-law’s mail. For every worthwhile charity she donated to, there were about a dozen scummy ones. Good charities are out there, but be cautious. -- Mom’s Mail Clerk

Council approves easing height restrictions in sections of Bayside MIDTOWN from page 8
rate apartments in four residential buildings, retail space and two parking structures. Along with the height limit change, the council passed a series of other amendments that would mitigate the impact of a building that’s built beyond the 125-foot limit. The revised conditional use amendments will require that buildings that are designed to go up to the maximum allowed height must preserve view corridors, comply with design standards, have additional step backs in the design and provide some sort of open space in the Donoghue area. While many neighbors of the proposed devel-
opment voiced concerns about easing the height restrictions for the Midtown project was reviewed by the Planning Board, both residents and business owners turned out Monday to support the proposal. Tom Manning, owner of the Miss Portland Diner on Marginal Way, said the Federated project addresses all the issues that were brought up in the “New Vision for Bayside” because it redevelops the scrap yard, creates housing and moves away from the reliance on surface parking in the neighborhood. In addition to relaxing the Marshall height requirements, the council previously approved a series of grants and loans to subsidize the construction
of one of the development’s parking structures. Last September, the City Council approved agreed to give the developers $9 million in grants and loans to pay for the construction of a 700space parking garage. A portion of the spaces will be available for public use. The grant funds will come out a $12 million program developed in 2008 and 2009 with the U.S. Department of Housing and urban Development that would provide $10.2 million in loan assistance and $1.8 million in grant assistance, according to a staff memo. The city estimates that the Shinberg property tax received through the phase one development is expected to cover the cost of the loan.
