DAVENPORT, IOWA

Flooded Mississippi draws crowds DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) – The flooded Mississippi River became something of a tourist attraction this weekend in eastern Iowa.

Crowds of people visited Davenport’s skybridge Saturday to get a view of the floodwaters covering low-lying areas, The Quad-City Times reported.

Mike Loew and his wife, Beth Schultz, of Milwaukee were in Davenport to attend the Mississippi Valley Blues Fest that had to be moved because of the flooding. They have been coming to the event for 19 years.

Loew said it’s remarkable to see the water so high and wondered why there isn’t a flood wall there. “It has never flooded

like this that I remember,� Schultz said. “This is the worst I ever saw it. Fix the problem.�

The river crested last week at 20.94 feet at Davenport. The level has been falling but isn’t expected to return to within its banks until later this month.

The National Weather Service said this could wind up being the sixthhighest crest on record for the Mississippi River, if the preliminary measurements hold up.

Holly Schafer said she brought her two kids, ages 12 and 5, from Milan to see the flooding in person. “I think it is awesome,�

Schafer said. “I have seen it on TV and in the paper, of course, but nothing like being in person.�

AMBOY

If we eat with our eyes ...

Dessert-lovers everywhere will sample local’s slice of heaven

BY KAYLA HEIMERMAN Special to Sauk Valley Media

AMBOY – Joyce Schamberger makes a killer cheesecake.

Rich peanut butter cheesecake topped with gooey marshmallows, smooth peanut butter, and crunchy peanuts. “It’s rich. It’s like eating peanut butter fudge,�

Schamberger says. “It’s best with a piping-hot cup of coffee. “That’s how I like it.�

It’s a little bit sweet. It’s a little bit salty. But it’s a whole lotta homemade and straight from the mind, heart and kitchen of a small-town amateur baker.

And it can come straight from yours, too.

The recipe appeared in the May edition of Taste of Home magazine and is available on the Taste of Home website.

A couple of years ago, Schamberger, 54, of Amboy submitted her recipe for sweet-andsalty peanut butter cheesecake to the Taste of Home website. Then, last fall, she received an email from the Taste of Home folks; they wanted to include her recipe in a spring edition of their magazine.

And a few months ago, she received an email from the folks at HGTV; they want to feature her cheesecake on television, too. “It’s very flattering,� she says. “I hope it inspires people.�

Schamberger by day is the principal at Amboy Junior High School, and by night is a hostess and server – and resident dessert maker – at her family’s restaurant, the Long Branch Saloon, 55 S. East Ave.

Her cheesecakes – and, really, many of her other desserts – are locally famous. “Yeah, ‌â€? she says, modestly, passing off the label. “I don’t know if there’s anything special about them. They’re just good homemade cheesecakes.â€?

Schamberger gets her inspiration from old cookbooks, from other desserts, from candy bars. “The recipe that I use is the same basic recipe every time,� she says. “I just change out the ingredients.�

Schamberger rattled off a few variations: chocolate truffle with fresh raspberries, chocolate chip, peanut butter cup, crème de menthe, lemon, key lime and, the one that started it all, a classic New York-style with sour cream on top. “We started out with a basic New York-style ‌ and went from there,â€? she says. “There are no limits.â€?

Schamberger is well known for other desserts, too, such as her “darn good� chocolate cake, angel food cake, and bread pudding with Jack Daniels caramel sauce. All three madefrom-scratch desserts are staples at the restaurant.

Her appearance in Taste of Home, which bills itself as the No. 1 food and entertaining magazine in the world and boasts a circulation of more than 3 million subscribers, has garnered Schamberger and her show-stopping cheesecake a little bit of attention. “I’m not used to all the attention,� she says. “It’s kind of overwhelming.

But it’s thrilling, too. It’s just very flattering.�

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

Joyce Schamberger of Amboy had her locally famous cheesecake recipe featured in the May edition of the Taste of Home magazine, and it likely will be featured on HGTV.

OREGON

Mental hospital to honor ‘forgotten souls’ SALEM, Ore. (AP) – They were dubbed the “forgotten souls� – the cremated remains of thousands of people who came through the doors of Oregon’s state mental hospital, died there and whose ashes were abandoned inside 3,500 copper urns.

Discovered a decade ago at the decrepit Oregon State Hospital, where “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest� was filmed, the remains became a symbol of the state’s – and the nation’s – dark history of treating the mentally ill.

A research effort to unearth the stories of those who moved through the hospital’s halls, and to reunite the

remains with surviving relatives, takes center stage today as officials dedicate a memorial to those once-forgotten patients. “No one wants to be laid to rest without some kind of acknowledgement that they were here, that they contributed, that they lived,� said state Senate President Peter Courtney, who led a successful effort to replace the hospital and build the memorial.

Between 1913 and 1971, more than 5,300 people were cremated at the hospital.

Most were patients at the mental institution, but some died at local

hospitals, the state tuberculosis hospital, a state penitentiary or the Fairview Training Center, where people with developmental disabilities were institutionalized.

Hospital officials have been working for years to reunite the remains of their former patients with surviving relatives. Since the urns were found by lawmakers on a tour of the hospital in 2005, 183 have been claimed.

The 3,409 that remain and have been identified are listed in a searchable online database.

Thirty-eight urns will likely never be identified; they’re unmarked, have duplicate numbers

or aren’t listed in ledgers of people cremated at the hospital.

They came from different backgrounds, for different reasons.

Some stayed just days before they died, others for nearly their entire lives. They came from every state except Alaska and Hawaii. Nearly 1,000 were born in 44 countries.

Five were born at sea.

Twenty-two were Native Americans. Their remains won’t be part of the memorial; they’ll be returned to their tribe for a proper ceremony.

Members of the local Sikh community are working to claim the remains of two people.

WASHINGTON | U.S. SUPREME COURT

Nonprofits’ contraceptive cases up next University of Notre Dame challenge likely to be first to be heard by court WASHINGTON (AP) – How much distance from an immoral act is enough?

That’s the difficult question behind the next legal dispute over religion, birth control and the health law that is likely to be resolved by the Supreme Court.

The issue in more than four dozen lawsuits from faith-affiliated charities, colleges and hospitals that oppose some or all contraception as immoral is how far the Obama administration must go to accommodate them.

The justices on June 30 relieved businesses with religious objections of their obligation to pay for women’s contraceptives, among a range of preventive services the new law calls for in their health plans.

Religious-oriented nonprofit groups already could opt out of covering the contraceptives. But the organizations say the accommodation provided by the administration does not go far enough because, though they are not on the hook financially, they remain complicit in the provision of government-approved contraceptives to women covered by their plans. “Anything that forces unwilling religious believers to be part of the system is not going to pass the test,� said Mark Rienzi, senior counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Lib-

erty, which represents many of the faith-affiliated nonprofits. Hobby Lobby Inc., winner of its Supreme Court case last month, also is a Becket Fund client.

The high court will be asked to take on the issue in its term that begins in October. A challenge from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, probably will be the first case to reach the court.

The Obama administration argues that the accommodation creates a generous moral and financial buffer between religious objectors and funding birth control.

The nonprofit groups just have to raise their hands and say that paying for any or all of the 20 devices and methods approved by government regulators would violate their religious beliefs.

To do so, they must fill out a government document known as Form 700 that enables their insurers or third-party administrators to take on the responsibility of paying for the birth control. The employer does not have to arrange the coverage or pay for it.

Insurers get reimbursed by the government through credits against fees owed under other parts of the health law.

Houses of worship and other religious institutions whose primary purpose is to spread the faith are exempt from the requirement to offer birth control.

ILLINOIS

Former U.S. Sen. Dixon dies at 86 CHICAGO (AP) – Former U.S. Sen. Alan Dixon, an Illinois Democrat whose career in national and state politics spanned more than 40 consecutive years in public office, died Sunday, his son said. He was 86.

Dixon, who served in the U.S. Senate from 1981 to 1993, died at his home in Fairview Heights the day before his 87th birthday. A cancer survivor, he had recently been hospitalized for heart problems and been battling infections, but his condition had recently improved and he’d returned home, his son Jeffrey Dixon told The Associated Press. No official cause of death was released. “He was a very caring, generous man to his family,� his son said. “He always instilled values in all of us to, ‘Tell the truth, to smile all the time and they’ll be nice to you.’�

Dixon got an early start in politics.

After being elected police magistrate in Belleville, he won an Illinois House seat in 1950.

He went on to serve in the Illinois Senate and as the state’s treasurer and secretary of state.

He won his U.S. Senate seat in 1980 and served there until his surprising loss in the 1992 Democratic primary to Carol Moseley Braun.

Dixon w a s remembered Sunday for winn i n g nearly every Alan e l e c Dixon tion he sought, as a leader who could bring Republicans and Democrats together – starting the first bipartisan Illinois congressional lunches – and his local approach to politics even as a U.S. senator. His style earned him the nickname “Al the Pal.� He returned constituent calls himself, was accessible to the public with weekend office hours and loved beer, recalled Thom Serafin, a Chicago political analyst who served as a press secretary for Dixon. “He was your Norman Rockwell U.S. senator who believed that if a constituent called him, he called them back,� Serafin said. “He always said, ‘I can’t promise you the job, but I can promise that I’ll work like heck.’ He was always the local guy. He was always Al.�

In the U.S. Senate, Dixon served as the third-ranking Democrat and chaired a subcommittee of the Armed Services Committee.

Dixon had served in the U.S. Navy Air Corps.

CLOSER LOOK | STATE BUDGET

Tight budget still contains pet projects $35 million goes to build school in Madigan’s southwest side district CHICAGO (AP) – The new state budget signed

by Gov. Pat Quinn last week left lawmakers from both parties unhappy – but it didn’t leave them empty-handed.

Among expenses in the $35.7 billion spending plan, tucked into a document thousands of pages long, are millions of dollars for pet projects statewide. They range from a new school in House Speaker Michael Madigan’s Chicago district to money to promote a racetrack near St. Louis and funds to begin planning Illinois’ 200th birthday celebration – scheduled for 2018.

The items are part of a 2015 budget that legislators admit doesn’t include enough revenue to cover the state’s regular spending needs. Lawmakers defend the extras, saying they were for projects already in the works or badly needed for job creation and other purposes.

Quinn, Madigan and other top Democrats wanted to extend Illinois’ temporary income tax

increase beyond Jan. 1 to avoid “severe� cuts to education and other areas, but rank-and-file Democrats – worried about re-election this fall – wouldn’t support it. The tax issue is likely to resurface after November’s election.

Quinn, facing a stiff reelection challenge this year from Republican Bruce Rauner, made just one change to the budget: He eliminated $250 million for renovations to the state Capitol, saying the state couldn’t afford it. But the logic behind his argument – that doing so could help minimize cuts to vital state services – doesn’t quite hold up, because the money will come from a different source.

Here’s a closer look at what made it into the budget – and what didn’t:

School for Madigan’s district Chicago Public Schools will get $35 million to build a school in Madigan’s southwest side district. The money, added to the budget bills in the

AP

Funny cars are prepared for a run in September 2013 at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison. The racetrack has received $5 million in capital construction funds since a private owner bought and reopened it in 2012 for NASCAR events and other exhibitions.

This year, the park, via a grant to the city of Madison, also will benefit from $500,000 in general revenue funds. final days of the legislative session, comes from the state’s general revenue fund – dollars typically used for day-to-day operations – rather than from the capital construction budget, which was approved in 2009 and is paid off through bonds.

The Democrat said the school was needed because of severe overcrowding. But it drew sharp criticism from Republicans.

“It’s a pure power play,�

GOP Sen. Matt Murphy of Palatine said.

Gateway Motorsports Park The auto racetrack in Madison has received $5 million in capital construction funds since a private owner bought and reopened it in 2012 for NASCAR events and other exhibitions. Dave Roeder, spokesman for the Department of Commerce

REVIEW

and Economic Opportunity, said the park is a major tourist attraction and “significant� employer.

This year, the park, via a state grant to the city of Madison, also will benefit from $500,000 in general revenue funds. The budget says the money is to come from a tourism promotion fund, but Roeder said the state still needs to confer with Madison officials “to make certain it serves a public purpose.�

Uptown Theater Democratic Senate President John Cullerton pushed for $10 million in capital construction money to renovate the historic theater, which is located near his Chicago district, saying it could become a centerpiece of a neighborhood in the midst of revitalization.

The 4,300-seat theater was built in 1925 and closed in 1981. The full renovation is estimated at between $50 million and $70 million.

Illinois’ 200th birthday party Quinn announced in May he was forming a 2018 Illinois Bicenten-

nial Commission of more than 50 volunteers to plan a yearlong celebration of the state’s birthday. Quinn said the events will involve people from around the state and “remind everyone of [Illinois’] rich heritage.�

The budget includes $250,000 in general revenue funds for the commission to begin its work.

Capitol renovations Quinn halted renovations at the Capitol last year after criticism about spending, including $80,000 chandeliers and $670,000 for three sets of copper-plated doors. He used his line item veto last week to remove an additional $250 million for the project, saying such cuts – along with others – “will help minimize the impact of cuts in vital services and maintain our hardwon fiscal gains.�

But the money comes from the capital bill, paid for through bonds, not from money the state uses for everyday operations. Lawmakers say there weren’t any immediate plans for the money anyway.

‘Young Frankenstein’ a monster Reviving past with heirlooms hit at Timber Lake Playhouse Group educates

BY SUE LANGENBERG Special to Sauk Valley Media

MOUNT CARROLL – Timber Lake Playhouse opened “Young Frankenstein, The New Mel Brooks Musical� Thursday evening as a special area premiere.

Originally written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, the show is a stage adaptation of the 1974 film directed by Brooks and Gene Wilder.

It marks the third production of this season, bringing TLP audiences a dizzying array of energy, professionalism and quality theater.

This TLP offering of “Young Frankenstein� is a perfect storm of parodystyle hysteria, outstanding direction, and extraordinary talent. Brooks, of course, is a genre by himself as one of few EGOT recipients – that is, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards.

Among his many parodies are “Blazing Saddles,� “High Anxiety� and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights.� The very titles point toward farcical hilarity. His “The Producers� also became a musical stage adaptation in 2001.

Special guest director of this show was Brad Lyons, no stranger to TLP with his 12 years as artistic director. Among his many direction successes are “Ragtime,� “Cabaret� and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,� honored by the National Endowment for the Arts for Artistic Excellence. Lyons was right at home with “Young Frankenstein� and brought out the best the script could offer.

This stellar cast has it all with talent and chemistry

to unfold the fast-paced mix of song and dance.

Returning TLP favorite Cody Jolly commands the character of Frankenstein (properly pronounced, for this telling, as Fronken-steen) with his many versatile gifts. His vocal abilities achieve heights all over the score, from hysteria to romance with frenzied accents and madness in between, much like his role as Scottish hitman in “Unnecessary Farce� last season. He assumes character roles in a Dick Van Dyke manner, rubberized at a moment’s notice. Jolly has much promise in his future as consummate role player. After all, Van Dyke still works in his late 80s.

No less a quality performance to offer was co-star Matt Webb as Igor (properly pronounced here as Eyegor), whose hump magically changes locations as noted by “Fronkensteen� in serious moments.

Lexie Plath, as attractive lab assistant Inga, proves her versatility as mistress of silliness in the first act, “Roll in Ze Hay,� then romantic, “Listen to Your Heart,� in the second act.

Allison Hunt as fiancĂŠe Elizabeth, with “Please Don’t Touch Me,â€? then later her song of “Deep Love,â€? strikes a comical chord as fireworks accompany her sudden passion for the monster.

Blake Price as the greenfaced monster is appropriately robotic, then transformed into slick.

Analisha Santini as Frau Blucher milks the role for all it is worth with gestures, stiff shoulders and ridiculousness.

Grant Brown as Inspec-

tor Kemp is fresh from his last TLP role as inspector in “An Inspector Calls.�

He is perfectly cast as a generic shady character, and in this production he explores beyond it as a blind hermit tripping and throwing himself all over the set for hilarious effect.

No less important to this must-see show were Christian Chambers, Nathan Goodrich, Gabriel Brown, Bethany Fay, Jessica Palkovic, Anastasia Arnold, Caroline Murrah – an ensemble array of villagers – and choreographer Cameron Turner, whose moves are marvelous in �Please Don’t Touch Me� and Irving Berlin’s, “Puttin’ on the Ritz.�

Everything possible comes together in this show, and you might want to see it twice.

(Some scenes are slightly suggestive, but glossed over because of the comedic effect.) “Young Frankenstein, The New Mel Brooks Musical,� a show that makes you jump to your feet before the final curtain, runs through Sunday at Timber Lake Playhouse, 8215 Black Oak Road, in the boonies of Mount Carroll. All evening performances begin at 7:30 (no show today), with 2 p.m. matinees Wednesday and Sunday. Group ticket rates are available. Contact the box office at (815) 244-2035 or visit www. timberlakeplayhouse.org for more information.

others on historic home’s landscape

BY ROBERT THEMER The Daily Journal

KANKAKEE (AP) – A few years ago, you might have found Jim Paul dressed in historic costume, portraying Martin Luther, Napoleon, Karl Marx or Friedrich Nietzsche in his Kankakee Community College western civilization or philosophy classes.

These days, you occasionally will find him grubbing in the dirt of the garden at the George Letourneau Home in Bourbonnais, tending the flowers and the garden.

Paul and other volunteers from the Bourbonnais Grove Historical Society recently were doing spring cleaning in the garden and planting flowers at the historic home on Stratford Drive, in the Adrian Richard Heritage Preserve, named for the founder of the historical society.

After retiring from KCC in 2006, Paul became a student again, taking classes to become a “master gardener� through the Kankakee County unit of the University of Illinois Extension Service.

He also serves on the board of the historical society, so he got Bourbonnais Grove volunteers together with Mas-

ter Gardeners to put a historic emphasis on the landscape of the historic home. They’ve been at it since 2008.

On their recent work day, they planted 10 varieties of heirloom annual flowers, some dating back to the early 1800s and the latest from the 1930s. Some of them might date back to when George LeTourneau, the first mayor of Bourbonnais, owned the home in the 1850s.

Before the upcoming

Bourbonnais Friendship Festival, July 25-29, the volunteers will place signs on stakes so visitors can identify the zinnias, petunias, calendula, blue woodruff, foxglove, nasturtiums, holly hocks and more. “The flowers will bloom this summer, and some of them will reseed,� Paul said. “We’re trying to encourage the community to stroll around the garden and enjoy it, maybe have a picnic.�

Program offers free eye exams to seniors Dear Abby, I am an ophthalmologist, and all too often I see patients who have already lost some of their vision because they waited too long to schedule an appointment for an eye exam.

Many times the reason was limited insurance or they couldn’t afford the co-pay.

After helping nearly 1.8 million people, EyeCare America, a public service program of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, continues to match eligible seniors in need with volunteer ophthalmologists who provide a medical eye exam – and up to 1 year of care – at no out-

Dear Abby, My in-laws are pressuring me to let them take our small children for overnights and trips around the city. I’m extremely uncomfortable about it, because I don’t trust their supervision. They obviously love the kids, and I’m happy they’re in our

children’s lives – as long as they come to our house to visit.

There have been several instances in which they made some questionable decisions with respect to supervising my little ones in public.

I have so far successfully dodged their requests, but it will be impossible to do it forever. If I tell them how I – and their son – feel, they will be hurt, especially because my parents routinely watch the kids outside our home.

What’s the best way to handle this with the least hurt feelings?

– St. Louis Mommy

and your husband will have to discuss with his parents together. If you do it alone, you will forever be blamed for “favoring” your family over his. When the discussion happens, you should cite your reasons for feeling the way you do. I can’t promise there won’t be hurt feelings, because there probably already are, but your children’s safety must come first.

Dear Mommy, This is something you

How do you get all of your tricks?

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Zig Ziglar, a writer, salesman and motivational speaker who died in 2012, said, “You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”

To succeed in a bridge deal may require taking a winner at the right moment. A trick too soon or too late may prove fatal.

In today’s deal, South is in four spades. West leads the club queen. What should declarer do?

In the auction, South probably should have rebid three no-trump. With eight winners, he needed partner to provide only one more trick, or for the opening lead to be a low heart away from the ace.

Declarer apparently has

these 10 tricks: six spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. However, to get that heart trick, South has to lead his king to drive out the ace, then get to the dummy

to cash the queen. And apparently the only dummy entry, the club ace, has been removed by West’s opening lead.

Well, if a heart trick is impossible, maybe South’s 10th trick can be a club ruff in dummy.

Some players would take the first trick and return a club, but the defender who won that trick would surely shift to a trump to stop declarer’s club ruff.

Instead, suppose West is allowed to take trick one.

What will he do next?

If he leads a trump, South wins, draws trumps, and leads the heart king to establish dummy’s queen, with the club ace still on the board. If West continues clubs, then declarer can ruff a club on the board for the required extra winner. Perfect! © 2014 UFS

CHARLESTON

Student chefs stand the program’s heat Camp offers in-depth experience to prepare for culinary school

BY KARSTEN BURGSTAHLER *OURNAL 'AZETTE 4IMES #OURIER

CHARLESTON (AP) – The marinara is bubbling. The Parmesan is chopped. The lemons are sliced.

But something isn’t quite right. As chef Jeremy Ryan takes a taste of the tarragon butter sauce he’s prepping for the evening’s main course, his eyes light up as he has a revelation. “Sugar,� he says as his mouth curls into a smile. “That’s what it needs. Sugar.�

Ryan is assisting Eastern Illinois University’s Apprentice Chef Cooking School as head chef during the program’s climactic meal. The students, each of whom comes from a different community, have worked together through several classes and field trips for 3 days.

Family and Consumer Sciences Instructor James Roche said the camp is about giving future chefs as in-

Student Claudia Donovan carries a tray of bruschetta during a culinary camp June 18 at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. The camp is about giving future chefs as in-depth of an experience as they would find in culinary school. depth of an experience as they would find in culinary school. The students have gone through classes such as knife skills, and plating and garnishing. “The biggest thing is just to get [students] familiar with culinary principles,� he said. “So people who are interested in the hospitality business,

interested in going to culinary school, becoming a chef – this is the perfect program for them.�

For the final evening Wednesday, the students prepared a four-course meal for their families, with chicken Parmesan for the main course. As the students began prep to place the appetizer, bruschetta, on

plates, Ryan reminded them of a serving essential. “Everyone needs gloves,� he said. “No gloves, no love.�

It’s a statement he said was instilled in him during culinary school. At several points during the night the chefs checked their gloves again – one noted the group went through two boxes of gloves during the process.

Ryan kept the students moving along through the appetizer garnish with only one slight hiccup: The cilantro won’t be a whole lot of help where it ended up. “Oh, here it is,� Ryan said, making a grim discovery. “It’s in the trash can.�

But the chefs soldiered on and substituted. The group moved on to salads and on to the entree, mastering the proper way to serve pasta (place the pasta down with the tongs and then twist it, Ryan said), carefully placing the chicken on the plate and topping it with the marinara.

Ryan advised the students to place three pieces of Parmesan on the chicken in a shingle formation. And out the chicken went. Each chef

served their own family, sharing the skills they had learned.

The chefs finally reached dessert, prompting Ryan to perform his own rendition of Barry Manilow’s “Looks Like We Made It.� But he had another tip for the chefs as they moved between courses. “If you were in a real restaurant, you might tell your server to go sell another bottle of wine,� he said. “Keep ’em busy.�

At several points during service, the chefs ran into important issues they might run into in their careers – broken glass on the floor, a diner with strawberry allergies, and being one plate short while serving the main course. Later on, Ryan would remind the chefs it was imperative they continue to work together as well as they did during Wednesday’s service. “It’s not if you get in the weeds guys, it’s when you get in the weeds, how you react,� he said. “And the weeds are whenever it gets tough. If you can have a good chemistry with the people you work with, you can get through this.�

People growing frustrated with remembering

Scientists come up with unforgettable pass codes

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Good thing she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a password to get into heaven. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Donna Spinner often mutters when she tries to remember the growing list of letter-number-andsymbol codes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to create to access her various online accounts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At my age, it just gets too confusing,â&#x20AC;? says the 72-year-old grandmother who lives outside Decatur.

But this is far from just a senior moment. Frustration over passwords is as common across the age brackets as the little reminder notes on which people often write them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in the midst of an era I call the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tyranny of the password,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Thomas Way, a computer science professor at Villanova University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re due for a revolution.â&#x20AC;?

One could argue that the revolution is already well underway, with passwords destined to go the way of the floppy disc and dial-up Internet. Already, there are multiple services that generate and store your passwords so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to remember them. Beyond that, biometric technology is emerging, using thumbprints and face recognition to help us get into accounts and devices.

Some new iPhones use the technology, for instance, as do a few retailers, whose employees log into work computers with a touch of the hand.

Still, many people cling to the password, the devil we know â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even though the passwords we end up creating, the ones we can remember, often arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very secure at all. Look at any list of the most common passwords making the rounds on the Internet and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find anything from â&#x20AC;&#x153;abc123,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;letmeinâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;iloveyouâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you

Researchers at Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University of York and the University of Glasgow have created a new password system that could one day allow users to access their bank accounts, their phones or their favorite websites simply by picking out a familiar face from a grid of nine faces, four times in a row.

They call the system Facelock, and according to a new study published in the journal Peer J, it is teeming with benefits.

Most impressively, users were able to log into a test system using Facelock after not using it for an entire year.

Facelock is not the first password system to experiment with graphical elements. But, the images in the Facelock system are always changing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even the image of the familiar face.

The research team explains that people do not recognize all faces equally. We have no trouble identifying a familiar face across a series of different images that range in quality. On the other hand, when a face is not familiar to us, we are likely to think that different images of the same person are actually images of different people.

This well-studied psychological phenomenon can be frustrating to police when they ask a witness to identify a person caught in a fuzzy

Alexis Maldonado works in a fifth-grade computer lab March 14 at Van Buren Elementary School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Frustration over passwords is common across the age brackets. Bill Lidinsky, director of security and forensics at the School of Applied Technology at the Illinois Institute of Technology, recommends using a â&#x20AC;&#x153;simple mental algorithm,â&#x20AC;? including those that use a space, if the site allows that.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the midst of an era I call the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tyranny of the password.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re due for a revolution

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Thomas Way, computer science professor at Villanova University

guessed it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; use of the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;passwordâ&#x20AC;? as a password.

Bill Lidinsky, director of security and forensics at the School of Applied Technology at the Illinois Institute of Technology, has seen it all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and often demonstrates in his college classes just how easy it is to use readily available software to figure out many passwords. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I crack my studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passwords all the time,â&#x20AC;?

Lidinsky says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;sometimes in seconds.â&#x20AC;?

Even so, a good password doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to be maddeningly complicated, says Keith Palmgren, a cybersecurity expert in Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever coined the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;complex passwordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; did us a disservice,â&#x20AC;? says Palmgren, an instructor at the SANS Institute, a research and

education organization that focuses on high-tech security.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teaching a course on passwords to other tech professionals this summer and plans to tell them that the focus should be on unpredictability and length â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the more characters, the better.

But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be something you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember. If a site allows long passwords and special characters, Palmgren suggests using an entire sentence as a password, including spaces and punctuation, if possible: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This sentence is an example.â&#x20AC;?

He also suggests plugging in various types of passwords on a website developed by California-based Gibson Research Corp. to see how long it could take to crack each type of password: https://www.grc. com/haystack.htm.

According to the site, it could take centuries to uncover some passwords, but seconds for others.

Lidinsky recommends using a â&#x20AC;&#x153;simple mental algorithm,â&#x20AC;? including those that use a space, if a site allows that. As an example, he says one might try â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ama95 zonâ&#x20AC;? for an Amazon account, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yah95 ooâ&#x20AC;? for a

Yahoo! account, and so on. (But choose your own combination.)

There are other ways around the password headache.

Some people have taken to using password generators, which create and store passwords for various sites you use. Generally, all the user has to remember is a master password to unlock a generator program and then it plugs in the passwords to whichever account is being used.

There are numerous password managers like this, including LastPass and Dashlane and 1Password.

Some wonder whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise to trust services like this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But sooner or later, you have to trust somebody,â&#x20AC;? says Palmgren, who uses a password manager himself.

security camera tape, but in the case of Facelock, the researchers were able to exploit it for the good of frustrated password users. They proposed that even a nefarious â&#x20AC;&#x153;shoulder surfer,â&#x20AC;? who was spying over a userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulder when that user selected a familiar face, would have trouble picking out the same person in a different image.

To test this hypothesis, they asked 120 volunteers to come up with between four and 10 different people whose faces would be familiar to them, but not to most people. Specifically, the researchers asked participants to come up with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Z-list celebrityâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; someone for whom there would definitely be pictures on Google Images, but who was only known to a narrow group of people. Perhaps a famous skier, or a well-regarded cello player.

After the Z-list celebrity had been selected, the volunteers were asked to log into a website using the Facelock system. The idea was that one face in each of four grids would be familiar to the volunteer, but none of the faces would be familiar to an attacker. One week after having selected their familiar faces, 97.5 percent of participants had no problem logging on. One year later, 86.1 percent of participants were still able to choose their Z-list celebrityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face, no problem.

2014 REAGAN RUN 5K MEN’S WINNER | PAUL ZEMAN, BELVIDERE

WOMEN’S WINNER | BRITTANY SCHWARZ, DIXON

AHEAD OF THE CROWD

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

About 1,500 runners took to the streets for Dixon for the 15th running of the Reagan Run 5K. Paul Zeman, a Belvidere native and a University of Illinois runner, was the winner in 15 minutes, 24 seconds. Dixon’s Brittany Schwarz won the women’s division in 19 minutes.

Zeman takes title for fourth time

DIXON – When Paul Zeman ran underneath the purple arch that marked the finish line of Dixon’s Reagan Run 5K, he didn’t slow down much.

Zeman, a Belvidere resident who runs cross country at the University of Illinois, finished in 15:24 to capture his fourth title over the past 5 years and third straight.

He jogged off the road and into the grass where he quickly found his biggest supporters, his father David, and grandfather Paul.

“He does it all for his grandpa,” David said. “There are few things that

The three family members ran the event in 2011, the lone year Zeman didn’t win since competing in Dixon’s premier 5K event. But Paul fell on the final uphill and hasn’t run since, opting instead to watch his grandson dominate the race.

Top women

DIXON – Wearing a green top and bright yellow shorts, Dixon resident Brittany Schwarz was the first female to cross the finish line during Saturday’s Reagan Run 5K. Schwarz, who ran in the last five Reagan Runs, received her prize at the end of the event and stood with a group of friends and talked about the race.

“For me, running under 20 minutes was huge,” she said.

She unwrapped the small trophy, and turned it over in her hands and smiled.

The 18-year-old from Dixon placed 41st overall in the Reagan Run 5K with a new personal-best time of 19 minutes, good enough to win the female division for the first time.

“It feels pretty great,” Schwarz said.

“Winning this is something I’ve been wanting do for some time now.”

Jeff Samardzija made his first start with the Athletics on Sunday. He was selected to the NL All-Star team Sunday, days after being traded to the AL.

MLB ROUNDUP

Noesi proving others wrong Sox pitcher burns former club; Arrieta outing wasted "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Hector Noesi thinks he is a better pitcher than he was when he struggled at the start of the season. One of his former teams got a closer look at his improvement on Sunday in Chicago.

Noesi pitched five-hit ball into the seventh inning for his first win in a month, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners.

Noesi (3-6) struck out five and walked two in 6 2/3 innings, bouncing back from a shaky

outing against the Los Angeles Angels.

Chicago finished with just two hits, after it had four in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-2 loss in 14 innings. But Conor Gillaspie scored on a wild pitch in the first, and Noesi combined with two relievers on a five-hitter.

Nationals 2, Cubs 1:

Jake Arrieta appears to be maturing into the kind of pitcher the Chicago Cubs hope can solidify their rotation weakened by the trade of starters Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel.

Though the Cubs lost 2-1 to the Nationals in Washington D.C. on Sunday, Arrieta followed up two sensational outings with a gritty effort for a suddenly shorthanded staff. He allowed one run in six innings of a no-decision.

He has pitched to a 0.92 ERA in June and took no-hitters through the sixth inning of his previous two starts.

Arrieta lowered his ERA to 1.78, while striking out five and allowing four hits and three walks in his first outing in July.

Marlins 8, Cardinals 4: Henderson Alvarez

worked seven stingy innings and started the key rally with the first of his career-best three hits, helping Miami to a win St. Louis.

Casey McGehee extended his hitting streak to a career-high 13 games with an RBI single in the first.

The first two games of the series were decided by one run.

The Marlins have won a franchise-record 10 straight games started

HICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In the eighth inning Friday night against Northwest Arkansas, Midland Rockhounds manager Aaron Nieckula felt his trainer tap him on the shoulder.

A text message from Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management carried news about prized shortstop Addison Russell that traveled quickly from Oakland to the visiting dugout in Springdale, Ark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Did you hear Russell got traded?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Nieckula recalled Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was like, wow. I decided to wait until after the game to tell him.â&#x20AC;?

As Nieckula congratulated the Rockhounds after their 6-0 victory, he asked Russell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the last one smiling in the handshake line â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to step into his office. Double-A players know that usually means an invitation to upheaval. Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antenna was up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked Addison if he knew why he was in here and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard some rumors,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Nieckula said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been traded to the Cubs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was surreal. He just sat there, but took it well.â&#x20AC;?

Not that Nieckula would recognize Russell, 20, reacting not so well to anything. His manager at Class A Burlington and Double A, Nieckula described Russell as a cerebral player, who keeps his emotions intact, but blends in well enough to have

The Cubs offered Suffice to say Russell Samardzija a fair 5-year, felt no more excited to $85 million deal, but join the Cubs than team the guy who never had President Theo Epstein was to acquire him, out- more than nine victories in a season rejected it, fielder Billy McKinney seeking a salary north of and pitcher Dan Straily for starters Jeff Samardzi- $20 million.

Objectively, promade Russell available â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and before Beane jecting Samardzija as

an ace in the American League carries as much risk as predicting Russell will be a star.

Russell impressed Nieckula off the field as much as on it, showing up early like an unknown prospect with something to prove.

Without knowing the Cubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan, Nieckula expected Russell in the majors â&#x20AC;&#x153;sometime next year,â&#x20AC;? based on his progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cubbie Nation is getting a fine young man ready to work his tail off,â&#x20AC;? said Nieckula, 37. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humble and hungry. Even though the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the limit, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very coachable.â&#x20AC;?

If the Cubs asked Russell to switch positions, for example, Nieckula believes he would accept a move and excel given his athleticism. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discussing whether Starlin Castro, Javier Baez or Russell will be the Cubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long-term shortstop more fun than debating Samardzijaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shortstop is his best position, but he easily could transition to second or third,â&#x20AC;? Nieckula said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait till you see this kid.â&#x20AC;?

Nieckula, who lives in Yorkville, Ill., offers offseason baseball clinics around Chicago, and youth players often ask about the best prospects he coached in nine seasons as a minor league manager.

Since 2012, his answers include Russell.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It had been more than 15 years since the iconic No. 43 drove to Victory Lane.

So waiting through 2 days of thunderstorms and three red flags was relatively easy for Aric Almirola and his Richard Petty Motorsports team.

Almirola won the raindelayed and rain-shortened NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, putting Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed blue car back on top for the first time since 1999.

Almirolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Cup win came on the same weekend Petty celebrated the 30th anniversary of his 200th career win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 43 car is without a doubt the most famous

Aric Almirola celebrates in Victory Lane after winning Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Daytona. car in our sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history,â&#x20AC;? Almirola said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And to have that opportunity to drive that race car has been really special from the day that I stepped foot in it. All I wanted to do from the very first time I drove it was get it to Victory Lane. It took two and a half years I guess, but I

finally did it.â&#x20AC;?

The Coke Zero 400 was originally scheduled to go off Saturday night, but steady rain forced it to be postponed a day. When it did finally get started Sunday, it was interrupted several more times.

There were three red flags, two of them because

of huge accidents that took out most of the 43-car field and several top contenders. Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Jamie McMurray, Carl Edwards, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Kyle Busch were among those knocked out of contention.

Biffle and Kahne started the second massive wreck, a 25-car fiasco that ended with Busch getting flipped upside-down in his No. 18 Toyota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just felt like a slow carnival ride,â&#x20AC;? Busch said.

The same could be said for the entire weekend at Daytona. Sprint Cup qualifying was a debacle, and then rain affected the entire, 4-day event at NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous track.

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race topped it all, with just seven cars avoiding both crashes.

Djokovic wins internal battle in final SHORT

CONTINUED FROM B1

Cradling his trophy during the post-match ceremony, Djokovic addressed Federer directly, saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I respect your career and everything you have done. And thank you for letting me win today.â&#x20AC;?

Even Federer had to smile at that line.

Truth is, Djokovic deserved plenty of credit for figuring out a way to raise his Grand Slam total to seven titles and allows

him to overtake Rafael Nadal at No. 1 in the rankings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Novak deserved it at the end, clearly,â&#x20AC;? said Federer, who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to a Grand Slam final since winning his 17th major at Wimbledon in 2012, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it was extremely close.â&#x20AC;?

Federer, who turns 33 next month, won 88 of 89 service games through the semifinals and produced 29 aces in the final, but Djokovic broke him four times.

Federer went to the net aggressively, only to see

Djokovic zoom more than a dozen passing shots past him. And with most of the Centre Court crowd of about 15,000 raucously cheering for Federer, the 27-year-old Djokovic kept believing in himself.

That part might have been the most difficult, given that Djokovic lost his past three major finals, and five of his past six, including against Andy Murray at Wimbledon last year, and against Nadal at the French Open last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Started doubting,

of course, a little bit,â&#x20AC;?

Djokovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I needed this win a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Boris Becker, the threetime Wimbledon champion who began coaching Djokovic this season, called the new champion â&#x20AC;&#x153;the biggest competitorâ&#x20AC;? and praised â&#x20AC;&#x153;his sense of not giving up, giving it always another try.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone either way in the fifth set,â&#x20AC;? said Becker, whose former rival as a player, Stefan Edberg, coaches Federer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Novak finds another way. He digs deep and finds another way.â&#x20AC;?

Men’s top three same as 2013 RR5K ZEMAN

CONTINUED FROM B1

A picture of the three is still something that Zeman cherishes as his grandfather opted to participate to show his support for his grandson.

“I always have to come back and run it for him,” Zeman said of his grandfather. “Dixon is his hometown, and I know he really enjoys watching me run and appreciates it. This is a great event, and it’s always a tough field and the course pushes to you more than you expect.”

Zeman has been upping his mileage recently, as he is working himself back into shape for the upcoming

cross country season at Illinois. The 20-yearold has been running around 93 to 100 miles each week, and Saturday’s race fit nicely into Zeman’s workout schedule, and allowed him to gauge where he is in a race setting.

His time this year was around 12 seconds off last year’s record-setting pace, but accounting for his 13 miles a day, was happy.

“This is something I point to in July,” he said.

“It wasn’t my best time, but running against the tough competition is great.”

The top three runners, Zeman, Sterling’s Dylan Reyes and Elmhurst’s Ronald Hedman, finished in the

same order as last year.

Zeman started to pull away after the first mile when the terrain of the second mile switched to numerous hills and a woodchip ground.

“The first mile I don’t really count or pay much attention to,” Zeman said. “There are a lot of downhill parts and the second and third miles have lots of rolling hills and makes it tough.”

While Zeman was the overall champion, Byron’s Bob Godman, a 74-year-old runner, traversed the tough course each year it has been held, and won the 70-and-over age group with a time of 33:30.

Godman lived in Dixon for nearly 30 years, making a living working for

the insurance company USF&G. He remembers when the course used to take runners around the prison, and enjoys coming back to his hometown to run through the town of Dixon that he still calls home.

He makes sure to come back each year and tries to better his time by running around 4.5 miles per week in preparation for the event.

“I absolutely love it here,” Godman said of Dixon. “This race is one of the best things the town does. I love seeing everyone come out and support each other.

“I’ll come back as long as I’m able. This is the best managed, organized and friendliest race there is.”

Paul Zeman, a Belvidere native and University of Illinois runner, crosses the finish line to win the 2014 Reagan Run 5K on Saturday in Dixon. Zeman has won the event four of the last 5 years.

Habbens run in wedding attire SCHWARZ

CONTINUED FROM B1

Schwarz placed third in last year’s run and shaved more than 1 minute off her time this year to win by 15 seconds, edging Dixon’s Haley Thorpe, who finished in 19:15.

Schwarz is continuing to improve her endurance since high school, and runs cross country at the University of Illinois-Chicago, where she will be a sophomore in the fall.

Her new best time is a testament to her strict training regime, as she has been training to get in shape for her upcoming collegiate season. She was encouraged by her new

best time on the tough course, and hopes it can carry over into the fall.

“It was beautiful out this morning, not too hot or sunny,” Schwarz said, who ran in last year’s steamy weather. “It was just a good time. It’s always a challenge, and it felt great pulling ahead and being able to finish it out.”

Schwarz received a large applause as the race announcer cheered her on, as the first female finisher during the final straight-away.

The finish line, marked by a large purple arch, was crowded with friends and family members of the runners, cheering on the competitors. Dixon’s

Dave and Sarah Habben drew a large applause from nearly everyone, as the two stood out with an unusual clothing choice.

The two were married July 5, 11 years ago, and to celebrate their anniversary, the couple woke up Saturday morning and put on the same clothes they wore that day.

Dave ran the race in his tuxedo top and shorts with a white flower pinned on the left side of his jacket.

His wife Sarah, ran the 3.2 miles in the same wedding dress she was married in 11 years ago.

“People were calling out to us during the run,” Dave said. “They thought we got married this morning, so it was a fun time.”

Sarah finished in 33:32, while Dave crossed the line in 33:34. The best-dressed couple finished in style, and decided it would be a fun way to celebrate their anniversary by wearing their wedding attire.

The two figured they would get another use out of the clothes that hadn’t been worn in 11 years, and weren’t worried about dirtying their clothes.

“It’s fine if it got dirty or sweaty. It was definitely warm in this dress,” said Sarah, standing in her allwhite dress. “I was a little worried about tripping on the dress during the part of the race with woodchips, but it turned out to be just fine.”

Dixon’s Brittany Schwarz crosses the finish line at the Reagan Run 5K on Saturday in Dixon. Schwarz, who goes to college at the University of Illinois-Chicago, was the first female to cross the finish line.

A progressive and successful year lies ahead. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate when you should be pursuing your goals. You will receive valuable assistance if you ask for it and are willing to help others.

Your special communication skills will help you reach your highest potential.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- People will think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pushy if you try to make plans for everyone around you. Listen and learn. By observing friends, colleagues and relatives you will gain experience and wisdom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Show some consideration. Not everyone will opt to do things your way. Give your friends and family breathing room while you focus on mastering your skills.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Make your own decisions. Let everyone know that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pressured into doing something that goes against your morals and beliefs. Take control, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have no regrets.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have plenty of energy today. No one will be able to keep up with you, making it easy for you to outdo the competition.

A physical challenge will be satisfying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An escalating problem in a personal relationship could lead to estrangement if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not handled discreetly. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compound the problem by revealing intimate details to outsiders.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume that everyone who asks for a donation is with a legitimate organization.

If you are at all suspicious about the request, walk away and cut your losses. Charity begins at home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Opposition will set you back. If you find a way to compromise, it will be easier to reach your goals. Keep life simple until you can comfortably expand your interests.

PUZZLE ENTHUSIASTS: Get more puzzles in up-to-date with your banking records. Go over your statements meticulously and investigate any questionable withdrawals, expenses or bank charges.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If someone is not being totally honest, ask direct questions. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter into an endeavor or move forward with your plans if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where you stand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will feel stressed when dealing with personal or business relationships. Take a step back from the situation before you do or say anything that could be detrimental to your future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Take a break from your routine.

You deserve a rest, and spending some time outdoors or simply relaxing will help your state of mind. Put your needs first.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Friends and colleagues will be bowled over by your unique ideas. Find a platform where you can present your vision to people who will support your plans and impact your future.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to keep
