Saturday, May 15 There are strong indications that both your social life and material affairs will be far more active in the year ahead. It could be a propitious period for you, but you must guard against becoming too extravagant. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Those you love mean everything to you and regardless of what one of them needs or wants, you’re likely to turn yourself inside out in order to fulfill their material or emotional requirements. Gemini (May 21-June 20) - No amount of coercing will convince you to do things another’s way if you think your idea is the best. However, you will find a way to do so without creating ill will. Cancer (June 21-July 22) - Because your resolve is so strongly committed, it would take a bulldozer to get you to change your position, especially if you are materially motivated. Yet you’ll try to do so without fanfare. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Something could occur today that would have a strong influence on your hopes and aspirations. Fortunately, it will have a positive influence and promises to be quite exciting. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - You’ll have an easier time handling a competitive situation if you keep a low profile. The less obvious you are about your intentions, the more your adversary will let down his/her defenses. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - The more input people get from others, the more confused most of them are likely to get, but not you. You’re apt to find that a barrage of ideas and opinions serve to stimulate your thought processes. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Go ahead and establish a challenging objective for yourself today. The important thing is to believe in it and your abilities, so that you can easily get past the tough parts. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Your wonderful attitude will set a needed example for associates who have been wavering in their beliefs. Those you inspire will be very grateful and appreciative. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Although you’re not looking for more jobs to do, if someone is in need of assistance you’re likely to be the first one on the spot to do what you can. It’ll turn out to be a gratifying experience. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - New life and vitality could be breathed into an old alliance that has been sitting dormant for sometime. It isn’t likely to happen by accident; you’ll take the initiative to restore the old friendship. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - Turning your attention to domestic projects and situations could furnish some of your more enjoyable moments today. It’ll be fun to do things with all of the family for a change. Aries (March 21-April 19) - Your enthusiasm for fun encourages you to turn everything you do into a game today, and you won’t be able to help yourself from doing so. Even serious work will benefit from your lightheartedness. Trying to patch up a broken romance? The Astro-Graph Matchmaker can help you understand what to do to make the relationship work.

“Monkey Bits”
Tara (iTV)
Despite strict diet and exercise, weight gain still a problem ever increasing weight. Today, I continue a steady routine of exercise — a minimum of two hours each day doing both strength and aerobic activities. I mix up the routine so my body won’t get adjusted to doing the same thing every day. During weekends and vacations, I increase my activity levels. I’ve studied to become a trainer, read anything I can get my hands on about how to exercise properly and tried many, many ways to lose weight. I started with the basic expend more calories than you consume. I used a weightlifter’s competition diet of 1,000 calories a day for three weeks and gained six pounds. I’ve weighed, measured, and kept a food journal in order to keep my calories at a minimum. My doctor has ordered all
sorts of blood work that always comes back normal. It was discovered that I have an airway-obstruction issue (apparently my tongue is too big for my mouth), and my physician told me that the sleep issue caused my weight issues and that a CPAP machine would help. I started using this in November and have put on 10 pounds since then. I continue to question my doctor, but he maintains that if I reduce my calories enough, I will lose weight. I don’t drink soda or alcohol, nor do I eat white flour or sugar. At one point in a depressed, desperate mood, I consumed 500 calories per day for two weeks, kept up my workouts, and gained four pounds. Needless to say, I was crabby. I’m sad, depressed, and at my wits’ end. I’m seriously
disappointed with my ability to conquer this hurdle. What is wrong with me? Dear Reader: It certainly appears you have done all the right things and even some “not so right” things to keep your weight down. There are several reasons why individuals can experience difficulty losing weight, including the consumption of too many calories without expending them, hypothyroidism, alcohol use, certain medications, emotional factors such as depression, slow metabolism, Cushing syndrome and more. Some individuals may even be weightloss intolerant. Based on your letter, I don’t believe you are weightloss intolerant. The fact that you continue to gain weight despite drastic calorie cuts is a concern to me. It indicates
Nine-never odds can change quickly BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
This week we have been looking at “eight ever, nine never.” This applies when you (declarer) have the ace, king and jack in a suit. Then, if you have eight cards between your hand and the dummy, the a priori odds clearly countenance finessing against the queen. But when you have nine cards, the odds fractionally favor cashing the ace and king. However, when you have nine cards, as we saw yesterday, sometimes the fate of the
contract determines how to play the suit. Also, the odds can change significantly when you know something about the deal. Today you are in three notrump. West leads the spade king. What are your thoughts? West opened with a weak two-bid, showing a decent sixcard suit and some 6-10 highcard points. When that was passed around, you balanced with two no-trump. You would have preferred more in spades, but having only two hearts made your hand unsuitable for a takeout double. (When the dealer opens the
bidding and two passes follow, fourth hand is said to be in the balancing position.) You have six top tricks: one spade, three hearts and two diamonds. You cannot establish clubs, because the opponents will run the spades. You must take five diamond tricks. Here, you know that West started with six spades and East with three. This has changed the odds in the diamond suit. West will have queen-doubleton only 20 percent of the time, but East will have queen-third 26 percent of the time. You should play a
that either you are not being truthful about your diet and exercise habits or there is some underlying medical problem causing the unintentional weight gain. For the record, I would like to say, that I do not believe you are being untruthful and the sheer desperateness of your letter is proof of that. You claim to have had blood work but because you did not elaborate, I do not know what you were tested for. Because of this, I will again review some of the testing you should undergo or perhaps have repeated. First, a complete blood count and work-up should be done. Several endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism and Cushing syndrome can lead to unwanted weight gain and difficulty losing weight as well as other problems. Hypothyroidism is often easy to resolve with inexpensive prescription hor-
mone replacement. Cushing syndrome is more complex. It often results from a benign pituitary-gland tumor, a benign adrenal gland or an ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secreting tumor (typically found in the lungs, thyroid, thymus gland or pancreas). Alcohol use, quitting smoking, depression and certain medications may be contributing factors. I believe your current issues with depression are stemming from the persistent weight gain, not the other way around. In my opinion, your physician is being negligent about your situation. Despite your repeated attempts to get help, he has essentially ignored the situation. Now is the time to find a new physician who will take you seriously and work with you to get to the bottom of this very frustrating problem. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE
