Only eight percent listed •·to find someone to many" as their reason for dating. Dating can be one way to socialize and meet new people. but it isn't always eas). especially for someone who may be trying it again after years in a relationship. A crucial first step to dating success is to fully understand why you are looking for a relationship and what you desire from that "special someone." The best way to meet new people and expand your social life is to become involved in activities that interest you. Find something you enjoy doing or have always wanted to do, such as going for walks. learning a new language or mastering a new hobby. then go out and do it. Cultivating your interests increases the chance of meeting other people who share those interests. Even if the people you meet are not necessarily people you would want to date, they might know. and help you meet, more date-able people. Travel programs, such as Exploritas, offer learning adventures worldwide for older adults who want to travel. Volunteer programs like the Senior Corps provide great opportunities to meet others who share your interests and passions while helping your community. Competitive and regional sports programs target active seniors. Many Ohio colleges and universities offer Lifelong Learning Institutes, which provide an opportunity to expand your knowledge, as well as meet others. People of all ages appreciate a close relationship. We need to recognize and celebrate the fact that affection and intimacy can continue to be an important part of everyone's life, no matter how old you are. (Barbara E.

Man sentenced to death for killing 2 Ohio teens BY LISA CORNWELL ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI An Ohio registered sex offenocr who described himself as "evil" was sentenced to death Wednesday for killing two teenage girls and burning their bodies. . Anthony Kirkland. 41. of C1ncinnatr v. as sentenced two weeks after a jury convicted him of aggravated murder. gross abuse of a corpse. attempted rape and aggravated robbery. H1s attorneys offered no defense. focusing instead on trying to convince the jury to spare his life. Kirkland told jurors he was "evil" and ··a monster." As part of the trial, prosecutors mtroduced details about Kirkland's guilty pleas to the murders of two other females. ··we did what we could to try to save hb life, but the comt and the jury rejected our argument." defense attorney Norm Aubin said Wednesday after the sentencing. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters did not immediately return a message for comment. Judge Charles Kubicki Jr. could have chosen to give Kirkland life in prison for the slayings of Esme Kenney. 13. and Casonya Crawford, 14, both of Cincinnati. Instead, the judge accepted the sentence recommended by the jury March·l7. Kirkland was to be tried for all four deaths but pleaded guilty before the trial to charges of murder and gross abuse of a corpse in the slayings of Mary Jo Newton,45, and Kimya Rolison. 25, also of Cincinnati. Kirkland was sentenced to 32 years to life for the slayings of the two women plus 38 years for the noncapital offenses in the teens' cases, according to court and prosecutor's officials. Before sentencing, the judge asked Kirkland if he had anythlng to say. Showing little emotion, Kirkland apologized to the families of the victims. His execution was scheduled for Sept. 30, but death penalty cases are automatically appealed. After sentencing. Crawford's grandmother addressed Kirkland, telling him of the pain he had caused. "What you did to my granddaughter, you also did to me," Arlene Lee said. "She was a part of me.'' Lee told Kirkland that she remains angry. ''It's real easy when they put that needle in your ann, you just go on," she said. "We have to continue to live.'' Moore, PhylUs Crawford's aunt'; said she wanted him to die slowly. "You should be ashamed of yourself," she said to Kirkland. "How can you look at me? You should be looking down at the floor." She said she had no words to describe him. "They call you a monster." she said. "I don't know what to call you." A halfway house released Kirkland weeks before Kenney's slaying. Police said they found Kirkland near Kenney's partially burned body in woods near her home in March 2009. She had left home to go jogging at a reservoir. In investigating Kenney's death, authorities later charged Kirkland in the other slayings, which all occurred in 2006. The teens and Newton were strangled; Rolison was stabbed. The women's bodies also were burned.

Bentley cautioned nlembers not to catch spring fever too soon. She suggested leaf mulches, screening and other winter plant protections be left in place until the winter frcc1es arc over. Sunflower hulls under bird feeders need to be added to the compost pile, she said, adding that oak leaves are best for mulching because they deter slugs and g111bs. She said maple leaves are soft and shouldn't be packed down when in use, and using them under hostas might be good along with some crushed egg shells which helps to prevent slugs while adding calcium to the soil. As for watering plants. a good soaking is better than frequent light watering. straw on vegetable and flower beds help conserve water and cut down on weeds, and boric acid bait takes care of pesky ants. To repel moles, she suggested mixing I cup of ammonta, cup dish soap, cup of castor oil. and cup of urine in a 20 gallon hose-end sprayer. Saturate the runs und water in well .

To prevent soil from escaping from the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot. place a coffee filter over it. A good way to separate daylilies from the soil is by using blasts of water from the garden hose. Other suggestions included making a sweet snack for flowers by mixing I cup sugar. 3 cups bone meal. and I cup Epsom salts in a bucket. sprinkling a pinch of the mixture in the bottom of each hole as you are planting. To repel rabbits. plant a border of dustv miller, to fertilize clematis. iris. lilies and peonies. use bone meal. In July transplant iris, divide younger rhi10mes at outside of clumps. trim foliage back two-thirds and replant shallowly. If your plants get hit unexpectedly by a heavy frost, water them lightly the next morning to thaw them out quickly and you will save many of them, she advised. Transplant on a cloudy day avoiding planting in places where water stands after a rainfall. Other suggestions were made on mulching roses to keep the roots cool, ways to control black spot, the danger of letting azaleas become too dry. the need for pruning shrubs when they have finished flowerinl! in the spring. Roses like cool roots, so place about 3 inches of mulch around them. To control black spot on roses. put I or 2 drops of liquid detergent in 2 gallons of water and pour over rose leaves. A cure for cucumber beetles is to plant dill with all your vine crops. Don't allow azaleas to become dry; h:cp their compost moist at all times. To remove evergreen sap from hands, rub a dollop of regular mayonnaise over sticky hands. Then wash with soap and water.

I don't want to talk trash about anyone else, but should I warn my new friend? - C.C. Dear C .C.: As a new friend. you seem to be entrusted with introducing your companion to a group of people she might not otherwise meet. Since you introduced her to a girl you describe as a "leech." you might have been expecting to sit back and wait for something unfortunate to happen - and it has. Now you are in a position of either having to warn her about the girl - in which case you might be spreading those bad vibes - or else letting her get sucked into some obligations you know she doesn't want or need. You probably are thinking that you never should have introduced the new girl to anyone! ' But wait a minute - let's look at this from' the point of view held by your new friend. Maybe she is looking for involvement and commitment - and if she holds the power to do the leech a big favor. it actually might make her feel good - not to mention building up some brownie points of her own! She is still perfectly capable of saying no if the favor makes her feel uncomfortable. If you want to warn her in a subtle way. you could say something like: "Pam and Holly also did Lisa big favors. She's lucky to have friends like you guys." This way, she will get the picture and you can rest assured that you haven't been badmouthing anyone. Once she's been clued in. she can decide just how far to take the friendship with each of you. Good luck. (c) 2010 by King Features Syndicate j ton changes, according to a news release.

Seniors wary of health care overhaulS impact on Medicare J BY RICAROO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR ASSOCIATED PRESS Seniors aren't celebrating President Barack Obama 's health care overhaul. While Democrats hail the sweeping legislation as the greatest expansion of the social safety net since Medicare, they also fear that semors won't see it that way for this fall's elections. Indeed. Republicans have portrayed the overhaul as a raid on Medicare - a bedrock of retirement security - to provide money to pay for covering younger. uninsured workers and their families. An Associated Press-Gfl< survey in March found that 54 percent · of seniors opposed the legislation that was then taking final shape in Congress. compared with 36 percent of people age 18-50. And last week a USA Today/Gallup Poll found that a majority of seniors said passing the bill was a bad thing - while younger people were positive about it. There's no doubt that broad cuts in projected Medicare payments to insurance plans, hospitals, nursing homes and other service providers will sting. What hasn't sunk in yet is that the new law also improves the lot of many Medicare beneficiaries. Obama is hoping that most will eventually conclude the plusses outweigh the minuses. Keenly aware that this is a congressional election year. Democrats structured the law so virtually all the cuts start next year and take effect only gradually. For this year. the law provides a sweetener. More than 3 million seniors who have been falling into a Medicare prescription coverage gap will get a $250 rebate. a down payment on closing the "doughnut hole." Nonetheless.. seniors are anxious. "I'm afraid from the little I' ve heard t,hat it's not good for seniors.'' said Muriel Couzon. 86. a retired supervisory social worker from New York City. A Democrat, Couzon says the legislation could affect her vote this fall: "I have to see what it will do to me and other seniors like me." It's going to take a while before the verdict is in. Change will come slowly to Medicare. which covers 46 million seniors and disabled people. n ~ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 1 Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

Letters should be in ood taste, addressing issues, not personalities. "Thank You" letters ill not be accepted for publication. i..., There will be winners and losers: • Gross cuts in projected payments to insurers, hospitals and other providers total $533 billion over 10 years, accor<f1ng to a preliminary analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation. About $100 billion will be plowed back into Medicare. leaving a net cut of $428 billion. Medicare spending will continue to grow under the law, just not as fast. The reductions are smaller (about 6 percent) than Democratic President Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress came up with in 1997 ( 12 percent). Still, they're deep enough that some experts believe a future Congress will reconsider them. • The law strengthens traditional Medicare. which covers about threefourths of seniors. by improving preventive care and increasing payments to frontline primary care doctors and nurses serving as medical coordinators. But it gradually reduces generous government subsidies to private · insurance plans. Medicare alternatives that have lately gained popularity. That could lead to an exodus from the private plans. • The most significant new benefit - closing Medicare's prescription coverage gap - won't be fully phased in until 2020. That's a long time if you· re old and frail. The coverage gap starts after the first $2,830 spent on medications in a year. Seniors then pay entirely out of their pocket until they have spent $4.550, when the government starts picking up 95 percent of the tab. After the rebate this year. seniors in the gap will get a 50 percent discount on brand name drugs in 20 II. and a smaller break on~ generics. The discounts gradually ramp up until the "doughnut hole" is closed. • One change has received little attention but could have major consequences. The law authorizes a variety of experiments to provide better care for seniors struggling with multiple chronic illnesses - about half the program's beneficiaries. Prominent voices in the medical community have been clamoring for the government to use Medicare as a laboratory for change. If the approach succeeds, fewer people may end up in the hospital for bad drug reactions and other common problems . • ''It's going to be very important f01 Medicare beneficiaries to unaerstand that on the whole, this is not the disaster some people have painted it to be,'' said health economist Marilyn Moon, who as a former Medicare trustee helped oversee program finances from I 995 through 2000. "It is a bit of a mixed bag. but I think on balance it is going to put the program in a better position. over a long period of time.'' Her one major caveat: Many seniors in private insurance plans under Medicare Advantage will face higher premiums and reduced benefits as subsidies are scaled back over three to six years to bring the private plans' costs in line with those of traditional Medicare. "Beneficiaries will notice that. and they're going to be unhappy becam,e it's a takeaway:· said Moon. who directs the health care program at t~ American Institutes for Research . Government payments to the p vate plans - about I0 percent rich than per-person spending for traditional Medicare - have enabled them to offer comprehensive coverage for less. Seniors flocked to ~ign up, boosting enrollment to about one quarter of all Medicare beneficiaries. The same cuts will benefit seniors . in traditional Medicare. who have been paying higher monthly premiums to support the government's generosity·. There's also a potential silver lining for private plans. The law allows them to earn bonus payments for high quality. Such nuances got lost in an emotional debate that veered off into "death panels'' and "pulling the plug on grandma.'' Nothing that drastic was ever in the bill. Still. Republicans accuse Obama of slashing Medicare. and polls show the message has stuck. "We "ve got an education job to do with seniors.'' said Sen. Chris Dodd. D-Conn. "I think they are probably the least open to seeing the benefits. AARP and other major organiz tions representing seniors supported the law, despite the polls. Now they're planning a sustained outreach campaign to call attention to the legislation's benefits. It might not be an ~ easy sale. ... :-.:- 1 The Daily Sentinel ::!

AEP is now developing strategies and technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The current CCS validation project captures carbon dioxide from the flue gas and pumps it 1.5 miles underground in deep geological fonnations - trapped by layers of caprock - 'for pennanent storage. Carbon dioxide capture began on Sept. I. 2009 and storage started on Oct. I . 2009. The project also enabled the Mountaineer Plant to proYide 300 temporary construction jobs as well as eight permanent jobs. According to AEP representatives, the next step i" to take the CCS technology to the commercial scale.

To scientists, laughter is no joke - it's serious detect com1ng earthquakes BY SETH BORENSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS BY JILL lAWLESS ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON When it comes to predicting earthquakes. toads · warts and all - may be an asset. British researchers saip Wednesday that they observed a mass exodus of toads from a breeding site in Italy five days before a major tremor struck. suggesting the amphibians ma) be able to sense environmental changes, imperceptible to humans. that foretell a coming quake. Since ancient times. anecdotes and folklore have linked unusual animal behavior to cataclysmic events like earthquakes, but hard evidence has been scarce. A ne'v\ sn1dy by researchers from the Open University is one of the first to document animal behavior before. during and after an earthquake. The scientists were studyjng the common toad bufo bufo - at a breeding colony in central Italy when they noticed a sharp decline in the number of animals at the site. Days later. a 6.3magnitude earthquake hit, killing hundreds of people and badly damaging the town of L' Aquila. Researcher Rachel Gran said the findings suggested •·that toads are able to detect pre-seismic cues such as the release of gases and charged particles, and use these as a form of earthquake early '\~.'arning system." Initially puzzled by the toads· disappearance in the' middle of the breeding season. the scientists tracked the population in the days that followed. They found that 96 percent of males - who vastly outnumber females at breeding spots - abandoned the site. 46 miles (74 kilometers) from the quake's epicenter. five days before it struck on April 6. 2009. The number of toads at the site fell to zero three days before the quake. according to the study. published in the Zoological Society of London's Journal of Zoology. "A day after the earthquake. they all started coming back," stud Grant, the report's lead author. "The numbers were st1ll lower than nonnal and remained low until after the last aftershock." She said one possibility is that the animals sensed a change in the amount of radon gas emitted by the Earth because of the buildup of pressure prior to a quake. Scientists also have surmised that animals may be able to detect minor tremors imperceptible to humans. or that they sense electrical signals emitted by rocks under stress before an emthquake. Grant said the sense may be the result of millions of years of evolutiOn. a trigger that tells the toads to mo\·e to safer ground. "An earthquake could wipe out a population in that area:· she said. ''A landslide or flood could wipe out virtually I 00 percent of the males. and quite a lot of the females." Several countries have sought to use changes in nature - mostly animal behavior - as an early warning sign. without much success. The city of Tokyo spent years in the 1990s researchin!! whether catfish behavior could be used to predict earthquakes, but abandoned the study as inconclusive. Roger Musson. a seismologist with the ' British Geological Survey. said the problem stltdies like the Italian toad research lay in proving the connection between the animal behavior and the quake. "What happens is somebody observes some strange animal b-ehavior then there is an earthquake, so they link the two." said Musson. "There are probably plenty of cases in which there is strange animal behavior and no earthquake." He said the new study was "another bit of data in the large pile that has been accumulating over the years. But it's not in any shape or form a breakthrough." WASHINGTON - So a scientist walks into a shopping mall to watch people laugh. There's no punchline. Laughter IS a serious scientific~ subject. one that researchers are still trying to figure out. Laughing is primal. our first way of communicating. Apes laLigh. So do dogs and rats. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches you how to laugh. You just do. And often you laugh involuntarily. in a specific rhythm and in certain spots in COlWersation. You may laugh at a prank on April Fools' Day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. said Baltimore neuroscientist Robert Provine. who has studied laughter for decades. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather than reaction to a joke. "'Laughter above all else is a social thing," Provine said. "The requirement for laughter is another person." Over the years. Provine. a professor with the University of Maryland Baltimore County, has boiled laughter down to its basics. ""All language groups laugh "ha-ha-ha' basically the same way," he said. "Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English. everyone will understand laughter. There's a pattern generator in our brain that produces this sound.'' Each "ha" is about one15th of a second. repeated every fifth ,of a second, he said. Laugh faster or slower than that and it sounds more like panting or something else. Deaf people laugh without hearing, and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, illustrating that laughter isn't dependent on a single sense but on social interactions, said Provine, author of the book '"Laughter: A Scientific Investigation." "It's joy. it's positive engagement with life,'' said Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green Uni.versity psychology professor. '"It's deeply social." And it's not just a people thing either. Chimps tickle each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them. "That's my candidate for the most ancient joke," Provine said. "It's a feigned tickle. That's primal humor." We Email! ushould 2! Panksepp studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. Sound silly? It:s on YouTube and in scientific journals, a funny pairing of proofs when you think about. • It turns out rats love to be tickled. They return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them, Panksepp's video shows . By studying rats. Panksepp and other scientists can figure out w~at's going on in the brain during laughter. And it holds· promise for human ills. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces an insulin-like growth factor chemical that acts as an antidepressant and anxiety-reducer. He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target in the brain in their effort to develop drugs that fight depression and anxiety in people. Even so, laughter itself hasn't been proven to be the best medicine, experts said. Dr. Margaret Stuber, a psychiatry professor at University of California Los Angeles Medical School, studied whether laughter helped patients. She found that distraction and moe. improvement helped, b she could not find a benefit for laughter alone. "No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit." Provine said, largely because it's hard to separate laughter from just good feelings. But he thinks it doesn't really matter: "lsn 't the fact that laughter feels good when you do it, isn't that enough?" While studying laughter is serious work to researchers, it apparently sounds like a silly topic when they're seeking research grants. For that reason, Northwestern's Burgdorf avoids the word "laughter." He calls it "positive emotional response." Panksepp understands, saying: "There's no funding in fun research." , BRENT ROSE Egg was found in the mini park next to The Daily Sentinel. •fgg If IIOf It I plllbtttf /nltllletf '{gg In not It I ptlttfl JUidefltt •lgg It 1!111/ntldl e mtll·,..

Wnether the Reds pull it off could well come down to something totally out of their control.sornethingtheycouldn't do at all last year: They have to stay healthy. Nineteen players went on the disabled list last season. Four-fifths of the rotation was wiped out by injury or illness. <~long \\ith eYery starting posit10n player except second baseman Brandon Phillips. The daily injury report wa<; more like Anatomy 10 I class. Name an ailment, someone had it at least once. Carpal tunnel syndrome. Bad shoulder. Bum wrist. Bmised chest. The flu. Inner-ear infectiQn. Debilitating stress. Shredded pitching elbow. Bulging neck disc. Concussion. Emfrgency appendectomy. Broken wrist. Broken thumb. Broken toe. Locked-up knee. Sprained ankle. Amazingly. the Reds stayed in contention for three months while the bulk of their roster was putting down roots in the trainer's room. Baker was getting mentioned as a possible Manager of the Year candidate. The Reds had a winning record on July 4. then flamed out like a spent firework, nagged by the empty _feeling that they never got to hnd out how good they really were. Now. they have another chance. A last chance. Ownership kept ArToyo ($II million) and Harang ($12.5 million) for the final guaranteed year on their deals. Cordero stayed as well - he's owed $12 million this year and next. Orlando Cabrera was brought in to play shortstop, filling the only hole in an ~veryday lineup that returns mtact. The Reds also made an offseason splash by signing Cuban left-hander Aroldis Chapman to a six-year. $30.25 million deal, an investment in the future that could start paying off at some point this season if he keeps his 100 mph fastball under control. The pitching is potentially good enough to keep them in the chase. Hatang is the biggest question, 31 years old and coming off two subpar seasons. Arroyo. Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey fill out the rotation, with Edrnson Volquez the team's best starter expected back around midseason from reconstructive elbow surgery. The bullpen should be solid ag~in. with Cordero coming off an All-Star season - 3~ saves in 43 chan~s. That leaves 1J, p to an everyday lineup that was well below average last season, when Baker was constantly trying to plug holes left by all the injuries. A core of young players - 24-year-old right fielder Jay Bntcc. 25-year-old center fielder Drew Stubbs, 26-year-old first baseman Joey Votto - is supplemented by 30-somethings Cabrera. third baseman Scott Rolen and catcher Ramon Hernandez. Baker liked the way his rcA ter meshed during sprinP ' training, when everybody seemea to get along and hardly anyone got hurt. A lot of players showed up early to the Reds' new training complex in Arizona and stayed late. Unusual? ''It's not unusual on good teams because you have more team-oriented goals than personal goals and you come to spring training knowing you've got a pretty good chance to go somewhere as a team." Baker said. The Reds lack a proven leadoff hitter - a problem for the last few years. Stubbs ~ot the job based on his solid showing ird:J·~ tirst big-league promotion la.~t season, when he hit .267 in 42 games with 10 steals.
