An appetite for down-home cooking wasn’t what brought the former NASA investigator to the Pitt Grill recently. He was on a quest to identify and maybe recover some of the rarest treasure brought to Earth and then lost: moon rocks. “We’re educating the states and countries of the world about how much they’re worth on the black market and we need to increase the security in museums and need to put them back on display,” Gutheinz said. The rock samples were collected by the dozen American astronauts who walked on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972. U.S. states, territories, the United Nations and foreign governments received them as gifts. The samples, which also were loaned to museums and given to scientists for research, range from dust particles to tiny pebbles. “A lot of them are in storage. And we need to put them in an inventory control system. And that’s what’s really lacking,” said Gutheinz, a Houston lawyer who also teaches college classes in investigative techniques. At the Pitt Grill in Buffalo, Texas, Gutheinz was meeting a former toy manufacturer from Colombia who contends his piece of the moon is from the more than 48 pounds of material collected in 1969 by Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the first manned lunar landing mission. Rafael Navarro’s asking price on eBay for dust scraped from his rock is $300,000. The dust weighs 0.03 grams, roughly the same as a grain of rice. “Bottom line is, from a common sense perspective, this is a train wreck waiting to happen for him and he’s inviting it,” Gutheinz said. “He’s opening the jail cell door and walking through it. I wish him well but he’s really defying everybody by doing this.” Navarro, 67, said he didn’t fear possible fallout from ille- gally possessing what could be federal government property or risking fraud charges for selling something as a moon rock when it may not be. “NASA can’t prove they ever had this moon rock,” he said. That part may be true. The fact that something purporting to be a moon rock even shows up on eBay illustrates the greater problem of no one keeping proper track of the gifted and loaned rocks and the fate of many being unknown. NASA, which keeps its collection of rocks at Johnson Space Center in Houston and a facility in New Mexico, has confirmed the lack of oversight and promised to tighten controls, concurring with a critical audit report last December from its own Office of Inspector General, where Gutheinz worked as a senior agent. He left NASA in 2000 after 10 years. “From time to time, I get a call from somebody that has a moon rock and his father or her father died and was a scientist,” Gutheinz said. “And they ask, ‘What do I do with it?’ I tell them, ‘Give it back to NASA.’ That’s a real problem.” In the days of the Apollo space program, the idea of not returning to the moon again and again wasn’t a concern. So it was believed that more and more rock samples would come, too. But it’s been 40 years since astronaut-geologist Harrison Schmitt and Apollo 17 mission commander Gene Cernan in 1972 became the last men to walk on the moon. The total amount of collected lunar materials has amounted to 842 pounds, including 2,196 individual rock, soil and core samples. Those subsequently have been split into about 140,000 subsamples, according to NASA. Gutheinz was responsible for the 1998 “Operation Lunar Eclipse” sting at NASA and intercepted a $5 million sale of a moon rock President Richard Nixon gave to the government of Honduras after the last Apollo mission. Of the 270 moon rocks given to nations around the world as gifts, Gutheinz said 160 are unaccounted for, stolen or lost.

Gutheinz and students from his classes are responsible for directly or indirectly recovering 79 moon rocks since 2002, including lunar rocks presented to several governors. A retired dentist had the West Virginia rock, which Sandy Shelton, one of Gutheinz’s former students, tracked down. “I am very pleased that I was able to give back to West Virginia what was rightfully theirs, and to know that the young generation will have a piece of history to look at from the moon,” said Shelton, who lives in Minneapolis. Bill Clinton’s gubernatorial items yielded the Arkansas moon rock. The Alaska rock is now part of a court battle. The Missouri rock was found among boxes of things when former Gov. Kit Bond retired from the U.S. Senate. The late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s U.S. moon rock remains lost. But there’s evidence a grandson of the late Spanish dictator Francisco Franco has tried to sell his grandfather’s U.S. gift in Switzerland. A few lunch customers at the Pitt Grill looked up curiously from their chicken fried steaks as Navarro set up a microscope for Gutheinz to inspect his prized possession: a pointy, black metallic pebble an inch or so tall and its crumbs. The scrapings are from the rock that Navarro carries in his pants pocket, wrapped like a tamale in plastic food wrap and aluminum foil. He said he got the rock from a maid, now elderly and in failing health, who worked for a Venezuelan diplomat who told people it was a moon rock. “No way NASA can say the rock is not,” he said, showing letters from NASA experts who told him a few years ago it wasn’t from the moon. Gutheinz said Navarro reminded him of others who claim to possess a moon rock. “But the difference is they hide it,” Gutheinz said. “They squirrel it away and they don’t want anybody to know they have it.” Page 4 Tuesday,May 15, 2012 Pols rockin’ the shout-out to teams, trees, grits Nancy Benac, Associated Press WASHINGTON — “Hooah!” “Did I do that right?” Michelle Obama asked after sounding a battle cry to soldiers at Fort Stewart in Georgia last month. “Phew,” she sighed when the audience signaled its approval. The local shout-out seems so natural when done right. And so cringe-worthy when flubbed. Any good politician knows the importance of finding common ground with a local audience. It’s Speechmaking 101, whether accomplished through strategic praise for sports teams, cultural treasures or local figures. Try too hard, though, and risk instant turnoff. It’s a balancing act requiring careful preparation and being authentic, says Gary Schmidt, a past president of Toastmasters International. “You get a lot of pressure and messaging from your campaign team that you must say or do this,” Schmidt says, “but ultimately you have to be yourself.” Here’s how politicians are lathering up the locals in Campaign 2012: Above average Call it the Lake Wobegon syndrome. Politicians love to single out local officials in the audience. Somehow, these folks always seem to be extraordinary — like the “above average” mythical children of Lake Wobegon on public radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion.” In recent weeks, President Barack Obama has praised Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin as “one of the best governors in the country;” Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders of Vermont as “outstanding senators;” Miro Weinberger of Burlington, Vt., as an “outstanding mayor-elect;” former Maine Sen. George Mitchell as “one of the true statesmen in the history of American politics;” Maine Rep. Chellie Pingree as “outstanding;” Small Business Administrator Karen Mills as “one of the best SBA administrators of all time;” Columbus, Ohio, Mayor Michael Coleman and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed as “outstanding;” Rep. John Lewis of Georgia as “one of the finest men I know;” Georgia Reps. Sanford Bishop, David Scott, Hank Johnson as “outstanding;” Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan as “one of the finest attorney generals in the country;” Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois as “one of my dearest friends;” Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland as “one of the finest members of the United States Senate;” former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine as “one of the finest men I know;” Virginia Rep. Jim Moran as an “outstanding congressman.” And so on. The superlatives stack up like cordwood. How special. Standing tall Points of local pride — mountains, lakes, industries and the like — are popular shout-out subjects for any well-versed candidate. Mitt Romney, a Michigan native, tried out a three-fer while campaigning in his home state Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. before its February primary, as he slathered praise on the state’s “very special” lakes, its Detroit-made autos and its trees that are just the “right height.” His multiple references to just-right trees drew some quizzical looks and ridicule from national observers but Romney found an unlikely defender in filmmaker and liberal standardbearer Michael Moore, himself a Michigan native. Romney “does have that right,” Moore flatly told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “The trees in Michigan are just the right height. In Wisconsin, they go way — you can’t even see the top. In Ohio, just a bunch of shrubbery.” Sports spectaculars Giving shout-outs to local sports teams is a genre all its own. Candidates walk a fine line in praising local teams without breaking faith with their own hometown favorites. Obama, something of a sports junkie, generally manages to pull it off. In a visit to Ohio State University during the NCAA basketball playoffs in March, Obama acknowledged that “a presidential visit isn’t even close to being the biggest thing this weekend on campus.” He made sure to point out that he had Ohio State’s Buckeyes heading to the Final Four when he filled in his brackets — “and I promise I didn’t do it because I knew I was coming here.” Even Obama sometimes has to study up on his sports allusions. When the president visited Florida Atlantic University last month, he gave a hearty shoutout to the school’s Fighting Owls. A White House video showed the president getting a quick backstage tutorial before the speech on how to make the proper Owls hand gesture. Local lingo Sometimes it’s best simply to acknowledge one’s differences rather than try to adopt the local vernacular. Romney did a little of both as he campaigned in the Southern primaries. “Morning, ya’ll,” the former Massachusetts governor told an audience in Jackson, Miss. “I got started this morning right with a biscuit and some cheesy grits.” Romney admitted, though, that his southern education was a work in progress, saying the South was “a bit of an away game” for him. “I’m learning to say ‘ya’ll’ and I like grits,” he allowed in Pascagoula, Miss. “Strange things are happening to me.” Reality check Even skilled politicians sometimes acknowledge the political realities of reaching out to the local audience. Mrs. Obama at times declares that she’s giving “a good-old shout-out” to her local hosts. That oops moment pales next to a 2004 flub by Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. He committed what many in Wisconsin might consider an unpardonable offense when he referred to Lambeau Field, hallowed ground to Green Bay Packers fans, as “Lambert Field.” Ouch.

That’s a poorer showing than those with other disabilities including those who are mentally disabled, the researchers said. With roughly half a million autistic kids reaching adulthood in the next decade, experts say it’s an issue policymakers urgently need to address. The study was done well before unemployment peaked from the recession. The situation today is tough even for young adults who don’t have such limitations. Ian Wells of Allentown, N.J., is 21, autistic and won’t graduate from high school until next year. He is unlikely to attend college because of his autism. He wants a job but has only found unpaid internships and is currently working part-time and unpaid as a worker at a fastener factory. He’s a hard worker, with good mechanical skills, but has trouble reading and speaking, said his mother, Barbara Wells. She said his difficulties understanding social cues and body language can make other people uncomfortable. “I’m very afraid” about his prospects for ever finding long-term employment, she said. “It keeps me up at night.” The study, published online Monday in Pediatrics, was based on data from 200708. It found that within two years of leaving high school, more than half of those with autism had no job experience, college or technical education. Things improved as they got older. Yet nearly seven years after high school, 35 percent of autistic young adults still had no paid employment or education beyond high school. Those figures compare with 26 percent of mentally disabled young adults, 7 percent of young adults with speech and language problems, and 3 percent of those with learning disabilities. Those with autism may fare worse because many also have each of the other disabilities studied. The researchers analyzed data from a national study of kids receiving special education services, prepared for the U.S. Department of Education. About 2,000 young adults with one of four types of disabilities were involved, including 500 with autism. It’s the largest study to date on the topic and the results “are quite a cause for concern,” said lead author Paul Shattuck, an assistant professor at Washington University’s Brown School of Social Work in St. Louis. “There is this wave of young children who have been diagnosed with autism who are aging toward adulthood. We’re kind of setting ourselves up for a scary situation if we don’t think about that and how we’re going to help these folks and their families,” Shattuck said. Government data suggest that 1 in 88 U.S. kids have autism and there’s evidence that the rate is rising. Within the next 10 years, more than 500,000 kids with autism will reach adulthood, said Peter Bell, vice president for programs and services at Autism Speaks, an advocacy group that helped pay for the study. “It’s a huge, huge issue,” Bell said. “Unfortunately there are many families that really struggle to understand what that transition ultimately entails. …They face the reality of having a child who may potentially not be able to have enough services to keep them busy during the day.” “It’s only going to get worse …” Bell said. His own 19-year-old son has autism and is being home-schooled and Bell has hired therapists to prepare him for jobs and other life skills. Carol Schall, a special education policy specialist, said the results confirm smaller studies showing difficulties facing kids with autism as they transition into adulthood, and also highlight a need for better job training services offered in public schools for special education students. She is involved in research at Virginia Commonwealth University investigating whether on-the-job training and teaching social cues to high school students with autism makes them more employable. Kids are taught a range of practical skills and appropriate behavior. “It takes a much higher degree of intensity for them to learn skills” than for other kids, she said. Preliminary results show this training has helped kids with autism find and keep jobs, she said. Three named to examine US mine safety improvements CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Three experts on mine and workplace safety and health were named Monday to research ways to make U.S. coal mines safer as part of Alpha Natural Resources’ settlement with the federal government following the nation’s worst mine disaster in 40 years. The independent panel selected by Alpha and approved by the U.S. attorney’s office for West Virginia’s southern district includes mining engineering professors Michael Karmis of Virginia Tech and Keith Heasley of West Virginia University, and Dr. David Wegman, a professor emeritus of work environment at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. The panel will operate as the nonprofit Alpha Foundation for the Improvement of Mine Safety and Health Inc. It will spearhead mine safety and health research and development without involvement from Alpha or the U.S. attorney’s office. Heasley’s research interests include numerical modeling, computer applications in mining, multiple-seam mine design and ground control. Last year he received a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop a seismic system for locating trapped miners. Karmis’ work at Virginia Tech has included several projects in health and safety, communications and tracking systems. Wegman, an epidemiologist, is recognized for his expertise in occupational health and safety and has published more than 200 research articles. Funding priorities will be set starting this summer. Karmis said other industry experts will be among those brought in for discussions. After careful development of ideas, projects would be solicited in the academic and nonprofit fields, and proposals received could be sent to outside experts for their review. “We don’t want to be criticized that we’re funding research that someone else is (doing),” Karmis said. “We don’t want to duplicate. We want really to charter some new waters. We want to encourage proposals looking forward to solving real problems.” The $210 million settlement announced in December with the U.S. Department of Justice stemming from the 2010 Upper Big Branch disaster that killed 29 men was the biggest ever reached in a U.S. mining disaster. was the surgery of Roger Bissell.

Ohio area faces costly trials in septic tank slaying LOGAN, Ohio (AP) — Officials and residents of a southeast Ohio county are concerned about bills the Appalachian area faces for three murder trials in the slaying of a woman found strangled in a septic tank last year. Hocking County commissioners have put $100,000 into a fund to pay for the upcoming trials in 25-yearold Summer Inman’s slaying, but they know that will not be enough, according to newspaper reports. No one knows how high the cost will be for the county of approximately 29,000 people about 50 miles southeast of Columbus. “That could just be a drop in the bucket,” Commissioner Sandra Ogle said of the $100,000. Inman was abducted on March 22 last year outside a Logan bank she was cleaning after hours, forced by two men into a car driven by a woman and strangled, authorities said. Her body was found a week later in an underground septic tank behind a church near Nelsonville in Athens County. Inman’s estranged husband and the husband’s parents have pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the death. Their trials are scheduled over the next few months. Some residents also are concerned about the financial cost to the county, where the unemployment rate is 9.3 percent and 15 percent of the population lives below poverty level, according to state and federal data. “It’s a shame in a poor county,” said county resident Rick Webb. “The budget is very tight. It’s difficult.” The county must pay court-appointed attorneys for the defendants because they are all indigent. Jury selection is scheduled to start May 24 for the estranged husband, William A. Inman II, 27. He is charged with aggravated murder. His father, William A. Inman, 48, also is charged with aggravated murder and is scheduled for trial in August. Both could receive the death penalty if convicted. Sandra K. Inman, 47, who told authorities where to find her daughter-in-law’s body, is charged with murder and scheduled for trial in July. She faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted. Murder cases carrying the death penalty are more expensive to defend than simple murder cases and range up to $250,000 in Ohio, including prosecution, defense and other expenses, according to legal experts. The costs increase with appeals. “To put it in context, $100,000 would probably be a fair estimate of the defense cost for our client alone,” said lawyer Andrew Stevenson who was appointed along with another lawyer to defend William A. Inman. Hocking County’s entire common pleas court budget within the general fund is about $181,000 this year, the newspaper reported. Common Pleas Judge John Wallace also told commissioners that it might be necessary to sequester jurors during deliberations in the trial of William A. Inman II. The county sheriff also expects more overtime expenses from having to assign additional deputies to the courthouse and possibly adding others if jurors are sequestered. No one is sure what will happen if the county could not afford the trial expenses, but commissioners say they expect to find the money somehow. New ‘super’ PAC hopes to woo younger voters WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama counted on the support of younger voters four years ago. Now, a new Republican-leaning “super” political committee wants to bring them to the GOP’s side. Crossroads Generation, a new super PAC formed with the help of a handful of established GOP groups, is tapping into the economic frustrations of under-30 voters facing dim job prospects, crippling student loans or the prospect of having to move back home with their parents. Starting Monday, the PAC is launching a $50,000 social media ad campaign targeting younger voters in eight swing states, including Ohio and Virginia. Their ultimate goal: woo younger Americans to the Republican side, including some who supported Obama in 2008. “Younger voters aren’t looking for a party label,” said Kristen Soltis, who advises the new super PAC’s communications. “They’re looking for someone to present a solution for how things are going to get better.” Crossroads Generation is drawing upon $750,000 in seed money from GOP organizations like the College Republicans, the Young Republicans, the Republican State Leadership Committee and American Crossroads — itself a super PAC that has raised $100 million so far this election cycle to defeat Obama and will support the Republican nominee, very likely to be Mitt Romney. “We want to give a voice to our generation,” said Derek Flowers, 28, the group’s executive director, adding that his generation has faced unprecedented levels of unemployment and debt. The super PAC is also planning a ground game for this fall, leveraging the roughly 250,000 student-members of the College Republicans who span more than 1,800 campuses across the country. Obama’s campaign defended the president’s efforts to reduce Generation Y’s unemployment and debt. It said under Obama’s leadership the economy added 4.2 million private-sector jobs and that unemployment among recent college graduates is lower than when Obama took office in January 2009. Conservative and GOP efforts to target under-30 voters this election cycle have been growing, as groups like Generation Opportunity have tapped into Millennials’ uneasiness about the economy and the ballooning costs of a college degree. To be sure, they are issues Obama has realized are essential in maintaining the support of younger voters. Just last month, the president pushed for lowering college costs and freezing student loan interest rates — a message he took on the road to three states strategically important for his reelection effort. Student loan debt has reached roughly $1 trillion in the United States, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Bank of New York has estimated that 37 million Americans — roughly 15 percent — have outstanding loan debt. About two-thirds of that debt is held by people under 30. �The Daily Sentinel TUESDAY, MAY 15, 2012 Sports mdssports@heartlandpublications.com Southern tames Lions, advances to district final Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — 26-0 enough said.

Lady Marauders fall at Wheelersburg, 7-2 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com WHEELERSBURG, Ohio — The Meigs softball team had its season come to an end Saturday afternoon during a 7-2 setback to host Wheelersburg in a Division III sectional final in Scioto County. The sixth-seeded Lady Marauders (15-10) never led in the contest and mustered only three hits against the third-seeded Lady Pirates, who were playing anxiously in trying to get to prom later that evening. WHS — which had nine hits in the triumph — broke a two-all tie with three runs in the third, then tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the sixth to wrap up the five-run decision. The Lady Pirates will face Eastern Brown in the district semifinals this week. Wheelersburg led 2-0 after an inning of play, but a pair of miscues utlimately allowed the guests to pull even in the top of the second. Emalee Glass and Suzy Cox led off the inning by reaching on consecutive errors, and Glass scored on the second miscue to pull the guests within one. Cox later scored after Tanisha McKinney grounded into a fielder’s choice, tying the contest at two through two complete. Burg followed with three runs in the bottom of the third, which ultimately led to a permanent lead. Dempsey, Blair and Sook all scored in the inning, and Blair, Sook and Barbarits each added an RBI in the frame — giving the hosts a 5-2 cushion. The score remained that way until the bottom of the sixth, as Spradlin and Newsome led off the inning by reaching base safely with a single and a fielder’s choice. Dempsey followed with an RBI double to plate Spradlin for a 6-2 edge, then Wolfe reached on an error that scored Newsome for a 7-2 advantage. Meigs — which went hitless through five innings — received a two-out single from Haley English in the top of the seventh, but the guests never came closer the rest of the way. MHS also committed three of the five errors in the contest. Lisa Marie Wise was the losing pitcher of record, allowing five runs (four earned) and seven hits over 5.2 innings of relief while fanning four. Sparks earned the winning decision for Wheelersburg. English, Glass and Destiny Mullen had a hit apiece for Meigs, all of which came after the fifth inning. McKinney drove in the team’s lone RBI, while Glass and Cox scored a run each. Dempsey and Blair paced the Lady Pirates with two hits and two runs scored apiece, while Blair also drove in a team-best two RBIs. It was the finale game for seniors Emalee Glass, Cheyenne Beaver, Suzy Cox, Destiny Mullen and Tanisha McKinney in the Maroon and Gold.

Southern (13-9) took the early lead, scoring four runs on four hits in the top of the first inning. The Lady Tornadoes added three runs on two hits and two walks in the second frame, to lead 7-0. South Gallia (8-13) pushed its first run across in the top of the third frame when Alicia Hornsby came around to score. The Lady Rebels added three runs in the fourth and cut the SHS lead to 7-4. The Lady Tornadoes countered when senior Kelsey Strang hit a solo home run to left center field, in the home half of the fourth. SGHS and SHS each manufactured a run in the fifth inning and the Lady Tornadoes held a four run lead. Southern was able to pad its lead with one run in the sixth, when Strang tripled then later scored. South Gallia was in no mood for an early exit and scored seven runs in the top of the seventh to take the 12-10 lead.

Southern had won the previous two meetings with south Gallia this season, the first 8-6 on March 28th in Mercerville, and the second 12-6 in on April 20th in Racine.

Eastern outlasts Titans in 8 innings Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — It wasn’t pretty, but neither were the conditions. Both Eastern and Portsmouth Notre Dame combined for 27 walks, eight errors and six hit-batsmen over eight innings of baseball Sunday afternoon at Paint Stadium, but the Eagles ultimately stayed afloat by claiming a 15-13 decision in a Division IV district semifinal contest in Ross County. The third-seeded Eagles (16-8) and second-seeded Titans collectively produced just 15 hits in the rain-soaked affair, as strikes were hard to come by in a consistent downpour of rain. Portsmouth Notre Dame outhit EHS by a small 8-7 edge in the game and both teams committed four errors apiece. Eastern trailed 3-0 through two innings of play, but responded nicely in the third after sending 14 batters to the plate — which netted eight runs on two hits, an error and eight free passes for an 8-3 advantage. Notre Dame, however, responded with five runs in their half of the third to knot things up at eight. PND followed with a run in the in the fourth to take a 9-8 edge, but the Eagles countered with two runs in the top of the fifth to recapture the lead at 10-9. The Titans answered with a run in the bottom of the fifth to once again tie things at 10-all. Eastern plated two runs in the sixth and added another in the seventh for a 13-10 edge, but the hosts responded with three runs in the bottom half of the seventh to square things away at 13-all — forcing extra innings. Max Carnahan led off the eighth with a single and advanced to second base on a walk to Christian Amsbary. Ethan Nottingham delivered a one-out double that plated both Carnahan and Amsbary that ultimately served as the game-winning hit. After walking the leadoff batter, Josh Shook retired the next three batters to wrap up the win and another game at Paint Stadium. The Eagles will face top-seeded Southern in the district final at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Shook was also the winning pitcher of record after coming in for relief duties during the third inning. Carnahan led the Eagles with two hits, followed by Amsbary, Nottingham, Joey Scowden, Brandon Coleman and Derrick Powell with one safety apiece. Carnahan and Amsbary each scored three times, while Nottingham and Scowden drove in four RBIs apiece. Adam Cooper paced Portsmouth Notre Dame with three hits, including a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh that cut the hosts’ deficit from 13-10 to a single run. �Tuesday, May 15, 2012 Miscellaneous Apartments/Townhouses Sale Berber Carpet $5.95 yd.

The first few months, you focus on expanding your horizons and realizing an important goal. In this same time period, you also could meet someone significant to your life history. The second period will start in the summer. You will tend to go within more to process your thoughts. If you are single, you meet people whom you carefully want to check out. If you are attached, the two of you will want more time alone as a couple. ARIES knows how to trigger a reaction from you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Much more can be accomplished when you are upbeat. Others tend to work with you, with the exception of a key person who cares a lot about you and vice versa. Strap on your seat belt, as this person enters a period of the grumpies. Tonight: Hang with a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You have an enormous wealth of information and a well of creativity. Mix these traits together, and you’ll seem unstoppable. You could feel let down in some odd way. Stay nonreactive. Tonight: Do for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Handle a personal or domestic matter first. Make sure you do not overspend, especially in an effort to appease someone or appeal to others. Take a few hours to slow down, and you will revitalize yourself. Tonight: Act like a kid again. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are likely to speak your mind, and you’ll be heard, up to a point. Someone makes an implicit demand that you play his or her game, or else he or she might not “get” your method of communication. Think carefully about this first. You need to decide whether it is worth playing this game. Tonight: Mosey on home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You recently have been skimming through your life when dealing with various people. Somehow you manage to get your message across and receive their responses, but at what cost? Work on being gentler and more caring to yourself. Tonight: Allow your mind to drift. You can decide whether to follow it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others recently have played a dominant role in your life. You wonder when you need to say “enough.” Perhaps you have been too receptive. A partner needs and wants more of your time. If you said “no” more often to others, you could say “yes” with greater frequency to this person. Tonight: Dinner for two. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Plunge into each task at hand. You might note that someone or something could be pulling you back. Honor that restriction now and for the next few weeks. On some level, you might subconsciously be working through the issue. Tonight: Decide to visit with a favorite person. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Enjoy the people you encounter. Though you might not want to start a new relationship, a proclivity to revamp a current one or to work through a problem emerges. Go with this inclination. You finally are willing to open up to new ideas. Tonight: Let the fun and games begin. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You move from a place of concern or feeling a bit off to a great sense of self and a source of creativity. A meeting might appear to be going in one direction, but it actually could flip and point to a new path. Plan on flying solo at the present moment. Tonight: Act like it is the weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Sometimes you feel as if you must make the first move, but how many times must you? Clearly this activity brings you some happiness, or the result makes it worthwhile. Be careful with a touchy elder or boss. Tonight: Get some quiet time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might want to indulge someone but feel like you can’t because you will want to go overboard. Know that you can stay within your budget — you just have to be creative. Your intuition points to creating greater security by letting someone know he or she is valued. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your magnetism attracts many people and results in odd reactions. Do not be surprised if you suddenly have difficulty relating to a loved one. Let this person know how much you care. Tonight: Your treat.
