SMC to award posthumous degree

THE SPREADING THE LOVE ISSUE

I-405 Freeway An exciting evening awaited Luke Dunphy as he jumped on a motorcycle and headed home to Santa Monica to prepare for a barbecue and viewing of a Red Sox game with friends.

The single father of a 4-year-old son was on top of the world, holding two jobs he enjoyed — one of which was at a local motorcycle shop — and perhaps most importantly, having just completed the nec-

essary 60 units of undergraduate coursework to transfer to a four-year-university.

He never made it home.

More than nine months after Dunphy died as a result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident on the I-405 Freeway, his family will be presented with the 26year-old former Santa Monica College student’s associate of arts degree at the board of trustees meeting tonight.

It’s the first known posthumous degree

Little fish swims across ‘the pond’

BY ASHLEY ARCHIBALD Special to the Daily Press

Isabella Siering hung in the starting position for the 100 meter backstroke event at the Northern German Championship in Hanover, Germany.

The 10-year-old was tired. She and her dad, Frank, had jumped on a plane and flown to Hanover when they realized she was eligible to compete in the championship, but she was suffering from jet lag and exhaustion from the four other events she had already swum that day. Moments before the backstroke event started, she had been asleep in her father’s arms.

“Just one more, Bella,” Siering had urged her. The German side of her family were all there cheering her on, including her newborn cousin.

But now, in the water, little Bella was all business. German competitions were different than American ones in that the start buzzer rang a bit sooner, which had thrown her in the first race of the day. This one would be different. The buzzer sounded and Bella pushed off the wall and went on to swim her best time ever.

When she’s not jumping on planes for impromptu competitions, Bella is a swimmer for Team Santa Monica, a program that takes on every age group and skill level to promote goals of fitness and fun. The competitive 9 to 13 age group that Bella swims

Samohi baseball loses to Palos Verdes in extra innings

BY DANIEL ARCHULETA Managing Editor

SAMOHI For six innings, the Vikings had Palos Verdes’ number.

The problem is high school baseball games are scheduled to go seven and in the case of Saturday’s contest they sometimes go into extra frames where Palos Verdes was able to steal a 7-5 victory in 10 innings.

The Vikings entered the top of the seventh nursing a 5-4 lead against the fifth best team in the latest CIF-SS Division II poll with their closer Drew Hammond on the mound. He had yet to give up an earned run all season and a victory appeared to be within reach. Palos Verdes’ Stephen Takahashi led off the inning with a single to right field.

Hammond regained his composure and struck out the next man, Cole Trezek for the first out of the seventh, but not before a passed ball advanced Takahashi.

With a man on second PV’s Matt

Blankenship drew a walk and promptly stole second as part of a double steal that put a pair of runners in scoring position.

This set the stage for J.R. Aguirre to drive in the tying run with a sacrifice fly to left field, sending the game into extra innings.

“I need to come with more pitches,” said Hammond, who often relies on the fast ball to retire batters.“I didn’t get the guy off balance.”

Freshman Adam Padilla entered the game for Hammond in the eighth and kept PV’s hitters at bay for parts of three innings.

He cruised until the 10th when he allowed a lead off double to PV’s Nate Halverson.

Facing a tough week ahead against Ocean League rival Beverly Hills, Samohi’s Head Coach allowed Padilla to stay in the game to preserve his pitchers for later in the week.

That decision proved to be pivotal as Padilla allowed the next man up, Justin Dornblaser, to bunt for a single allowing Halverson to advance to third.

With men on the corners, Padilla threw

a curve ball that PV’s Satoshi Mizutani laced into left field, bringing home the winning run in the form of Halverson.

“I went up [to the plate] looking for a fresh start,” said Mizutani, who was 0-for-4 leading up to that crucial moment.

His fifth at-bat wound up being the key to victory for PV, who scored an insurance run later in the inning off Samohi reliever Ethan Corn.

With the loss, Samohi’s record is now 14-11 and 5-1 in league. Next up for the Vikings are a pair of games against rival Beverly Hills. The first game of the set will be at Samohi on Tuesday at 3:15 p.m.

“We’ll be treating the games against Beverly Hills like the playoffs,” Duron said.

“We can’t afford to look past people.”

The Vikings are currently tied with Culver City for first place in the Ocean League. daniela@smdp.com

California are hoping to keep swine flu at bay by keeping some campuses closed today.

The state’s Department of Public Health has confirmed 29 cases of the illness across the state, and continues to test 130 probable cases. There have been no swine flu deaths in California.

The median age for the state’s confirmed and probable cases is 18 years old, which means many of those who have been affected are among the state’s 6.3 million schoolaged children.

Parents are best advised to keep tabs on the Web sites of local schools for updates on closure dates. Schools in Marin, San Bernardino, San Diego, Yolo, San Joaquin and others are among those expected to be closed this week as a precaution.

Dr. Jonathan E. Fielding, Los Angeles County’s director of public health, said his department hasn’t called for any school closures. But the department is calling for parents to be cautious.

“If your kid has a flu-like illness do not send them back to school until the flu-like illness has ended,” Fielding said.

Fielding said school administrators and teachers also have been instructed to keep an eye out for sniffling, sneezing or sick-looking children.

Confirmed swine flu cases in the United States jumped Sunday to 241 in 34 states — up from 160 in 21 states — but officials said that’s largely from catching up on a backlog of lab tests rather than a sudden spurt in new infections.

The only swine flu death in the U.S. is that of a Mexican toddler who was visiting Texas.

Send comments to editor@smdp.com

EDITOR IN CHIEF Kevin Herrera

Editor:

The International Panel on Climate Change has said that in some regions up to 60 percent of wildlife and plants could go extinct due to global warming. The loss of species hurts people, too. For our food and soil, clean air and water, medical advances, we need healthy natural areas with diverse species. Our leaders at the national, state, and local level should work together to lower greenhouse gas emissions while protecting wildlife who are threatened now.

This is what we are fighting for. This is what we have to save. Who could ever risk all this — these beautiful animals, this land, this unbelievable place? Each species, however inconspicuous and humble it may seem to us at this moment, is a masterpiece of biology, and well worth saving.

Save the Creation, save all of it! No lesser goal is defensible. However biodiversity arose, it was not put on this planet to be erased by any one species. This is not the time, nor will there ever be a time, when circumstance justifies destroying Earth’s natural heritage. All our efforts to defeat poverty and pursue sustainable development will be in vain if environmental degradation and natural resource depletion continue unabated.

Angie Bahris Santa Monica

Too many chefs in the commission kitchen?

THERE

ARE

23

CITIZEN

BOARDS,

commissions and task forces recognized by the city of Santa Monica. Citizen members of these organizations are City Council appointed or approved. Yes Virginia, the positions are political bon-bons.

Some of the groups have the power to approve projects, spend money and/or set policies that affect us and our quality of life, such as the Planning Commission, Architectural Review Board and the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Others are mostly advisory such as the Disabilities Commission, Housing Commission, Commission on the Status of Women and the Sustainable City Task Force, among others.

There are hundreds of citizens who participate on these commissions and boards and give generously of their time, intellect and talents. Those who serve deserve our appreciation and respect.

Nevertheless, there are complaints that the nearly two dozen boards, task forces and commissions are part of a patronage system, appointed or approved by a City Council controlled by the Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights cabal. Detractors say commissioners and board/task force members carry out City Council and SMRR’s agenda and are a core support group for SMRRbacked candidates and issues at election time.

Perhaps nowhere is this more obvious than the Commission for the Senior Community. Even though many Santa Monica seniors are on fixed/limited incomes and in desperate financial shape, CSC’s current chair is a consistent shill for every SMRR-backed tax proposal to hit the ballot — taking even more money away from the poorest elderly.

It’s been years since I’ve been to a Social Services Commission meeting. At that time, I found most commissioners to be passionate about helping the homeless.

Unfortunately, many were nothing more than cheerleaders for city-subsidized service providers. Their myopic approach to solving homeless problems was narrowly focused on more services.

The now defunct East-West Commercial Corridors Parking Task Force, Downtown Parking Task Force and Civic Center Task Force were all loaded with elected politicians and various seated or former board and commission members. These usual insiders concocted a stew of recycled, stale ideas peppered with sacred cows such as affordable housing. The result of too many bad chefs in the kitchen is an overcooked product that’s unpalatable and unsatisfying. Bring on the Maalox.

Last Tuesday, the City Council reviewed proposals for a new branch city library in the Pico Neighborhood. The project’s paid outside consultant is Koning Eizenberg Architecture. Hendrick “Hank” Koning,

vice-chair of the Planning Commission, is a principal in the firm that frequently does work for the city.

The staff report mentioned the Virginia Avenue Park Advisory Board and the Recreation and Parks Commission approved locating the library in the Pico Farmers’ Market zone at Virginia Avenue Park.

Apparently nobody included the market customers or vendors I talked to a week ago because they were surprised and not pleased to hear about the plans.

Now, we’re ready to add a 24th commission to the city’s stable of advisory boards and task forces. The Urban Forest Master Plan Task Force recently received unanimous approval in concept by the council.

Its membership would consist of seven city residents appointed by the council with the help of yet another paid consulting firm.

Task Force members should have some knowledge and/or professional experience in urban forestry or landscaping. People “who just love trees,” are especially encouraged to apply as are current members of city commissions, such as Parks and Recreation, Planning and Landmarks. More Maalox, please.

City Hall promises that the new Task Force will “provide an effective venue for public input or requests regarding specific urban forest issues, review of major streetscape development projects and private development projects that impact public property.” This organization could be the forerunner of a permanent Tree Commission. I’m ready to pack my trunk and leave.

Do we really need a citizen task force to tell the planning department, and city arborist and his staff how to manage our treescape? If so, then we also need a Gridlock Commission to advise on traffic. How about a Street Maintenance or “Pothole” Board?

Or, maybe a Bicycle Commission?

We could add an Expo Light Rail Task Force and a Sewer Commission. How about a Task Force on Parking Lots or Palisades Park Urban Wildlife Task Force? And, especially a Farmers’ Market Task Force. We need ‘em all because we still don’t have enough community input for the City Council to ignore.

With over 2,200 city employees, city leaders have enough people to micro-manage.

Who better to advise the city than well-intentioned citizen volunteers? We get two for the price of one: more advisors for the social engineers on the City Council and new blood for SMRR power mongers. Wow! Here’s an idea. How about a “City Council Watchdog Task Force?” Bet you won’t see that happen. So, when is it all going to end? Maybe when we get that City Council Watchdog Task Force. But, don’t hold your breath. mr.bilbau@gmail.com

Swine flu: Silent invader IT WAS AN EERIE SCENE AT AZTEC

Stadium in Mexico City, as teams America and Tecos played in a nearly empty stadium.

Normally, the 100,000-seat facility, one of the largest in the world, would have been packed with soccer enthusiasts. But under orders from the Mexican government, it has been closed to the public because of the swine flu epidemic. Indeed, hoping to minimize the risk of exposure to swine flu, the Mexican Football Federation has given orders for numerous soccer games to be played in empty stadiums.

So far, there have been 20 confirmed deaths in Mexico due to the swine flu virus, with as many as 150 deaths suspected and more than 1,600 people ill. Here in the United States, which has declared a public health emergency, there have been 50 confirmed cases of swine flu in New York, Kansas, California, Texas and Ohio — at least, that’s the number as I write this, but the count has been growing daily.

The Obama administration, lacking a confirmed Secretary of Human Services, Surgeon General or Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is scrambling to deal with the crisis and head off a public relations snafu.

In responding to the growing health crisis, the CDC has issued a travel advisory urging Americans to avoid non-essential travel to Mexico. U.S. customs officials have also been authorized to conduct “passive screening” of travelers entering the U.S. by land and air from Mexico, “asking people about fever and illness, looking for people who are ill.”

However, little has been said about the dangers posed by people crossing the borders illegally. Documented illegal immigration has more than tripled in the last 20 years. It has grown, by conservative counts, from 3.5 million in 1990 to 11 million in 2008. Yet unlike those who arrive in the U.S. through official channels, those who cross the borders illegally make it increasingly difficult to control who and, more critically, what enters the country.

Indeed, as the report “Immigration’s Silent Invasion, Deadly Consequences” details, “The invasion of illegal aliens pouring over the borders of the United States is taking an ominous turn. They are not alone!

Their bodies may carry Hepatitis A, B & C, tuberculosis, leprosy and Chagas Disease.

Chagas is a nasty parasitic bug common in Latin America where 18 million people are

Eternal question City Officials are considering a plan to lift the residency requirement at Woodlawn Cemetery.

infected and 50,000 deaths occur annually.”

As an American, I have always been inspired by the fact that my country welcomes those “huddled masses” who come here seeking refuge. And as long as government officials maintain our borders and ensure that those coming from other countries are screened in order to protect those who legally live here, the concept of welcoming immigrants is a noble one. Yet the stakes are too high for us not to be more prudent in guarding our borders and screening those who travel in and out of the country.

Some of the worst epidemics historically have resulted from global travel and trade.

We live in an age where so much occurs on a global scale: commerce, travel, warfare, even disease. Unfortunately, the nation is far from prepared to deal with the challenges of this age. This ineptitude and lack of preparedness are underscored by the U.S. government’s handling of the swine flu outbreak — and by government, I don’t mean just the Obama administration but government at large, the bureaucracy that transcends any particular party.

The bottom line is this: The prime duty of government is to protect its citizens. This means having responsible people in government who understand what it means to be pro-active rather than reactive, especially when it comes to matters of public safety and welfare.

For too long, the U.S. government has been reacting to crises as they occur, with little forethought or preparation. We saw it with the 9/11 attacks and again with Hurricane Katrina. Now, with the swine flu outbreak, we’re getting a sense of how devastating a full-blown epidemic could be.

Already, the impact is being felt economically. As the Wall Street Journal reported, “U.S. stock futures fell sharply Monday as the outbreak of deadly swine flu stoked fears that a possible recovery in the global economy could be derailed.”

It’s time for our government leaders to get their priorities straight. We can ill afford any more surprises — medically, economically, politically or socially.

Earth Talk By the editors of E Magazine

Send comments to editor@smdp.com

Dust in the wind Dear EarthTalk I run a sorting machine at the post office, and am worried about all the paper dust swirling around the building. I asked both management and our union if this was a health or safety problem and both said no, but I’m not sure they really know. Can you set the record straight?

J.G. Eddins Phoenix, AZ

ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS TO THE

increasing mechanization of postal facilities is the increase in paper dust. The machines doing the grunt work loosen the dust and send it airborne where workers can breathe it in copiously. Contrary to what management and the union may say, paper dust can be a hazard to postal workers, causing and exacerbating respiratory problems. Sorting machines could also theoretically disperse contaminants (such as anthrax) intentionally sent through the mail into postal facilities, further adding to the risk of the job.

“There’s no federal safety standard on it, so it’s a real problem,” reports Bob Williamson, president of the San Francisco chapter of the American Postal Workers Union (APWU). “We’ve had people who have developed occupational asthma from breathing the fine dust.”

In the fall of 2008, more than 450 current and former postal employees, many in the Chicago area, signed a petition to occupational health officials and postal unions blaming health problems on paper dust fibers inside post offices. Some are seeking health benefits to pay for related medical treatment.

“I do believe that my life is going to be shortened,” Delphine Howard, a former manager at two local post offices, told Chicago’s ABC7 News. “I started having severe bronchitis attacks, severe asthma attacks, and severe chest pains.” She worked for the postal service from 1987 until 2005 when her doctor diagnosed her with “a medical condition that is affected by unclean air, dust particles and residue in volumes in her present employment areas.” Several other Chicago area postal workers complained of similar symptoms as a result of ongoing

DANGEROUS GIG? Letter carriers may have bad weather and biting dogs to deal with, but back at the mail sorting facilities, postal workers often face one of the byproducts of the increased mechanization of sorting facilities: paper dust.

exposure to postal dust.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) studied the issue in 1998 and found no direct link between health and postal dust, but did discover that sorting machines could send potentially carcinogenic volatile organic compounds (such as ink) and other irritants like dust mites, into the air.

Diligent cleaning of the machines can help keep the problem in check. “Vacuum and wipe down the machines every day rather than resorting to the quicker method of blowing the dust off the machines and into the air,” says the APWU’s Williamson, adding that workers can also wear masks to minimize breathing in of postal dust and any contaminants in the air with it. He also recommends that post offices rotate their workers around to different duties to avoid perpetual exposure to potentially harmful or aggravating activities. Besides dealing with paper dust, mail sorters frequently suffer from muscular-skeletal problems associated with repetitive motion strain.

Dunphy was ready to transfer FROM SMC PAGE 1 to be awarded by the college.

The family requested the degree about three months ago, hoping to teach Dunphy’s now 5-year-old son, Isaiah, the importance of higher education.

“He doesn’t grasp the significance of who his father was and the values he espoused,” Jay Dunphy, Luke’s younger brother, said. “We thought this would be a great way to have something tangible for him to hang onto and understand as he gets older.”

Dunphy was working on transferring to Pepperdine University where he planned to study business and political science. Dunphy, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, enrolled at SMC in the fall of 2007, making the dean’s honor roll in the spring of 2008.

Jeff Shimizu, the vice president of academic affairs, said Dunphy reminds him of many students at SMC. “As I was looking at this case, it was really a heartwarming story,” Shimizu said. “He really valued education.”

Jay, his brother Ben, and a young woman who had received Luke’s kidney after the accident, plan to attend the meeting.

Dunphy met the young woman shortly before the fatal accident, learning she needed a kidney and volunteering his own, filing the paperwork to get the transplant started at UCLA Medical Center just days before his death.

It was without hesitation that he offered his own kidney,

Jay said.

“She was apprehensive about accepting it because she was cautious about his motives and why someone would want to do that,” he said. “(Luke) said,‘why keep one in the closet, someone needs it now.’”

“I’m able to and I want to.”

He would later die at the same hospital, just a few weeks shy of turning 27 and his son’s fifth birthday.

“She did receive the kidney but not by the original means intended,” Jay said.

The family is still unsure of the details of the accident, believing that Dunphy was driving between lanes when he was hit by a motorist who did not use their signals and swerved into his path. He suffered from brain damage and died about five days later.

He grew up in Manchester, N.H., the fourth of seven children to John and Mona Dunphy. Luke moved to Los Angeles in 2006 with his wife Monica and their son. The couple divorced later that year but remained on amicable terms, Jay said.

“Luke is tough to compare to anybody,” Jay said. “If I would, it would almost be like a Leonardo Da Vinci type.”

“It has nothing to do with art but he was just so good at so many different things. He was like the main character in any room and everybody knew it and yet he was so modest.”

The Dunphy family has established a trust fund for Isaiah. For more information, visit www.lukeliveson.com melodyh@smdp.com

Young area swimmer does well in international competition FROM CP PAGE 1 with meets five days a week to drill fundamentals and get up for big meets.

And Bella loves swim meets.

“I like how you wake up early in the morning and you swim your races and you have fun and you swim as fast as you can,” she said from deep within a fluffy yellow towel she had pulled out of a backpack bigger than she is.

Hardly common words for a 10 year old, but Bella isn’t your average fourth grader.

Her father is a German entrepreneur and triathlete, and she inherited his competitive drive along with a German passport. She has already qualified for the Junior Olympics and is poised to go far in the competitive swimming world.

“Bella is amazingly talented and has always made a lot of improvements since being on [Team Santa Monica],” said her coach, Alex Tungland. Tungland has been with TSM for the past four years and has watched Bella develop as a swimmer since she first joined the 9 to 13 competitive age group that Tungland coaches.

“Her progress has been amazing and her drive and dedication are equally amazing. As long as she holds onto that she will go far in this sport,” Tungland said.

What most people don’t realize about swimming is how much of a mental game it is on top of the physical challenge of getting through the race. This aspect of focus and self-awareness is hard to teach to young kids, but the discipline taught now has far reaching effects later in life, Tungland said.

LMIRL: HDOP:

“Oh my gosh. For most people it is more mental than it is physical,” Tungland said.

“That’s going to be part of the challenge for Bella but she is definitely taking it in stride now.”

When Bella gets in the water, she has just one thing on her mind: what she’s swimming and how she can do it better.

“I’m thinking about all the drills. And when I’m not tired I’m thinking about what I should be working on and what I should be fixing,” Bella said.

Like a lot of athletes, Bella has a pre-competition ritual that gets her head in the game and excited for the next day’s meet. It’s just a bit more delicious than most.

“Always on Fridays before a meet I go to Islands and I always have a virgin margarita and chicken nuggets. It’s really fun. That’s

where I’m going tonight!,” Bella said, smiling.

Competitive swimming takes up much of Bella’s time, but when she’s not in the pool it’s hard to get her away from water. Living in Santa Monica means you’re right by the beach and Bella takes full advantage of that to go surfing.

“Sometimes I don’t like when I get knocked down, but I like it when I get smooth waves and I make it to shore,” Bella said.

For great athletes, there’s no downtime.

There is always someone you want to beat and someone who beats you. But for Bella, that’s still on the horizon. Tonight, she’s going to Islands. Make sure there’s a virgin strawberry margarita waiting. news@smdp.com

“My name is Summer Crenshaw and I have lost 15 inches using the Body By Laser™ program. I did my first round of treatments and didn’t have great results so Dr. Spurlock tested my thyroid. He found that I had Hypo-thyroid and started me on a supplement to help. I came back in a week and did another round of the laser and by the time I was done I went from a size 22 jeans to a size 14! This was huge for me. I not only looked better but I felt way better. Along with the laser, I started to go to the bicycle spinning classes and drinking lots of water. I have more energy and accomplish a lot more now that I feel better. I would recommend this to anyone that has a lot to lose or just wants to shed that last few inches.”

– Summer C.

“It is totally awesome! “What a pleasure it is to experience that svelte look again. My stomach, abs and upper hips are flat and thinner. I haven’t looked or felt this good in ten years!!! I am six whole inches thinner, I look leaner (and taller) and I feel more confident.

No more Velcro or safety pins necessary to close the waist on my pants! The treatment itself is relaxing and comfortable. It’s hard to believe a 40-minute meditation results in fat loss, but it does. The treatment removes fatty deposits also, so my sagging arms look tighter and thinner. All in all, I would recommend this non–invasive method of fat removal to anyone (even those over 65 like me).

“Try it and you will be pleased!”

– Mary D.

While many struggle with dieting, exercise, detoxification, and other programs to lose inches, Body by Laser™ does all the work for you in just six simple treatments.

Lasers were first used to “liquefy fat” prior to liposuction surgery. But with the ever-growing technology of lasers that produce no heat, but do create physiological effects on the body, we now have lipo-laser, which literally reduces inches right before your eyes!

This lipo-reduction is done in office, there is no medication, no pain, no surgery, no side effects except reducing fat cells in size and getting you back into your skinny jeans! Perhaps you have seen or heard about it on Dateline NBC, Extra, or on Fox.

For those struggling to make changes in how they look and feel, this laser “deflates” fat cells and breaks down the fat to be eliminated out of your body naturally.

Lipo-reduction is likely soon to be the most popular body shaping method with body contouring lasers. Our laser has been reviewed by the FDA, and is safe and tested. No exercise, no sweating, no special diets, no pain, no work. It’s easy, fast, and as many say, “miraculous.” It’s almost like lipo without the surgery, scars or risks!!!

This treatment is thousands less than surgery, but with similar, and in some cases, better physical appearance. Provided as a simple office visit that lasts about one hour, each visit you will begin to see changes as you look each morning in the mirror. After just six treatments over a period of 8-14 days, you will see a new you! © Dr. Spurlock

Call today for your FREE consultation with a doctor.

Unique results. Yours may or may not be the same. Average loss is 3-1/2 inches in the FDA study over six treatments.

Testimonials and pictures may not be from the same individuals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★ Understanding evolves to a new level as others start opening up. Listen, because this information could impact your work and/or your daily life. Tonight: Head home, but do squeeze in some exercise.

★★★★ Review a situation carefully. You don't have all the information, but by saying little, you will hear more. Your silence encourages others to babble on. Just listen. You could be amazed by what you hear. Tonight: Just for you

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★★ Your strength earmarks your actions.

Indulge a creative bent that emerges. Say what you think, but mean what you say. Others count on your follow-through and earthy style. A friend could startle you or prove to be irascible.

Tonight: Use your imagination.

★★★★ Zero in on what is important. A burst of creativity could distract you. Listen to a child or a loved one who has a lot to share.

Emphasize spontaneous efficiency, and be open. A brainstorming session could be quite dynamic. Tonight: A roommate or family member could have a secret!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ Stay centered, knowing your limits, even when life becomes dicey. In fact, if you can work at home, do. How you handle a situation that could be semi-explosive testifies to your understanding of human nature. Tonight: Kick back.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Stay on top of your work. You know what needs to be done, and you will accomplish just that. Nevertheless, a family member throws a tantrum, and you might have a hard time getting to the bottom of a problem. Know what you want here. Tonight: Do only what you must

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Keep communication flowing. You have a distinct way and style that draws many.

Adapt to a change of plans. A partner or associate doesn't seem grounded and makes you feel uncomfortable. Tonight: Hook up with a friend

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ Reach out and push for better answers and more feedback. Take off your mental filters and see what is really going on.

Sometimes how we color a situation can define what we see. Our biases emerge. Tonight: Think about taking a couple of days off

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Curb a tendency to be possessive or to want events to go your way. Right now others are unpredictable and could cause a problem for you out of the blue. Tonight: Gather your bills

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ Others want and need to command the situation. Try walking in their shoes to find out what is going on. Sometimes your innate rigidity can cause a problem. Tonight: Keep it easy

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ You take on a lot while feeling empowered. Unfortunately, you cannot dictate others' reactions, which could be all over the place, even when dealing with anything not relevant to you. A message or memo could be lost. Tonight: Whatever makes you smile

Happy birthday

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Your unpredictability could shake up an already volatile situation. Think before you indulge a knee-jerk reaction, unless you don't care about the ramifications. Wait until you know more. Tonight: Defer to someone else.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average

Often this year, you might understand what occurs, but it doesn't mean that you can deal with the events. Often situations and events get way out of control, leaving you questioning. This year, learn to detach more, accept differences and find ways that everyone can win. Your resourcefulness could be amazing if you just let it happen and let go of selfcriticism. If you are single, romance provides more excitement and possibilities than it has in a long while. Enjoy. If you are attached, if you miss some of the initial smoldering moments this year, they can return with your attention and attentiveness.

GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

■ Our Elected Leaders: (1) During an April Texas House committee hearing (according to a Houston Chronicle report), state Rep. Betty Brown suggested a solution to the voter-registration confusion caused by Chinese-Americans' Anglicizing their names (which yields nonstandard spellings): "Do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens," she asked a Chinese-American activist, "to adopt (names) that we (lawmakers) could deal with more readily here?" (2) During a March Florida Senate debate on whether to exempt "animal husbandry" from the law against bestiality, Sen. Larcenia Bullard asked (seriously, according to a Miami Herald reporter), "People are taking these animals as husbands?"

■ News of the Weird has noted two previous instances of "Weekend at Bernie's"-like attempts by a relative or friend of a newly deceased person to dress up the corpse and bring it to a bank to convince officials that the dead man is merely frail and to request funds from his account.

Both of those attempts failed, but in Witbank, South Africa, in March, the Afrikaans-language daily Beeld reported success: A post office supervisor released a government check to two women who had brought in a dead pensioner but only after the women promise
