even though I thought it was a bit pricey, I agreed. The day of the party, two of her friends did not show up. Two days later, the bride and her maid of honor texted the rest of us to pay an additional$20tocoverthecostoftheno-shows. I feel this request is tacky. Why am I responsible for friends who aren't reliable? And isn't this part of the cost of planninga party?You don't expect yourgueststopay forfood thatdoesn't get eaten. Why should we pay the limo costs for people who don't show up?NOT MY PROBLEM DEAR NOT: While it is expected that bachelorette party expenses be shared, it is unfair to have everyone agree to a specific amount and then change it later. The planning was done with a certain number of guests in mind, and the extra amount due should be paid by the ones who didn't show up.
However, this is a woman you work with and will have to see on a regular basis in the future. We think $20, even in installments, is a small price to pay for maintaining peace inyour of6ce environment.

When I put in your informationwithout knowing additional information, such as the exact pathology and locationof your tumor — the tool estimated that half of people similar to you would live more than three to six months. However, these tools do not take into accountyour good activity level,nor even the effectiveness of the chemotherapy you have received, so your results are likely to be significantly better than the results you will find on the tool.

Antacid-cancer link maybe not what you think DEAR DR, ROACH:Is it true that someone who takes antacids every day is more likely to get cancer of the esophagus? — D.R. ANSWElLYes, people who take antacidsfrequently are more likely to be diagnosed with esophageal and stomach cancer. However, people who take more antacidsusually do so because they haverefl ux.Refl ux predisposes one to Barrett's esophagus, which predisposesone to cancer;this is a m ore reasonable explanation than that taking antacids causes cancer. Although some authorities have postulated that antacids may allow bile to reflux into the lower esophagus, increasing cancer risk, I believe the primary issue is that peopletake antacids too long before seeking medical attention when there might be something seriously wrong.

TOday in hiStOry Today is Tuesday, June 23, the 174th day of 2015. There are 191 days left in the year. Today's Highlights in History: On June 23, 1972, President Richard Nixon and White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman discussed using the CIA to obstruct the FBI's Watergate investigation. (Revelation of the tape recording of this conversation sparked Nixon's resignation in 1974.) The same day, President Nixon signed Title IX, which barred discrimination on the basis of sex for "any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." On this date: In 1314, during the First War of Scottish Independence, the two-day Battle of Bannockburn, resulting in victory for the forces of Robert the Bruce over the army of King Edward II, began near Stirling. In 1931, aviators Wiley Post and Harold Gatty took off from New York on a round-the-world flight that lasted eight days and 15 hours. In 1956, Gamal Abdel Nasser was elected president of Egypt. In 1969, Warren E. Burger was sworn in as chief justice of the United States bythe man he was succeeding, Earl Warren. In 1985, all 329 people aboard an Air India Boeing 747 were killed when the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Ireland because of a bomb authorities believe was planted by Sikh separatists. In 1995, Dr. Jonas Salk, the medical pioneer who developed the first vaccine to halt the crippling rampage of polio, died in La Jolla (HOY'-ah), California, at age 80.

Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who was the founder of logotherapy 472 and existential analysis, wrote: "Don't aim at 4 A 4 success — the more you aim at it and make it V 85 2 V 10 9 6 4 3 a target, the more you are going to miss it.

We must 4 KQ10 6 5 3 aim at success — the number of tricks we need Y7 to make or break a contract. That is our target.

Then declarer Vulnerable: Both runs the spade eight. How should West defend? After South opened with a weak two-bid, promising some 6-10 high-card points and a de31 Dbl. 44 All P a ss cent six-card suit, North used the two-no-trump artificial inquiry. Since South had a maximum, Opening lead:0 K he rebid three diamonds to show his "feature" (typically the ace or king) in that suit. West doubled to assure a diamond lead should North become the declarer. West can see only two certain defensive tricks: his aces. If South had started with three diamonds, he would have taken another pitch on one of dummy's hearts. So, declarer is marked with 6-1-2-4 distribution. And the bidding has made it clear that East, not South, holds the club king. West should win the first trump trick and shift to his club three, low showing interest in the suit. East wins with his king and returns his club six. West takes that trick, then gives his partner a club ruff to defeat the contract. Happiness!
