perceived as being aggressive.

words more than usual so you
don’t appear harsh.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

capable of juggling more than
one task at a time. This week,
you may try to please too many
people too much of the time.
Take it easy!
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
A desire to receive recognition
may be reflected in the way you
handle money. During the week
ahead, you may be challenged

ing on profound faith in your
fellow man will work to your
advantage. Take concrete steps
and actively work to reach your
career goals. Be a trusted confidante to your friends.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Maintaining a sense of formality with others could be a good
thing. Tensions could be building under the surface this week.
Impulsive purchases may eat up
your walking around cash.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
You may prefer to risk the unusual rather than settle for the
ordinary. Harmless flirtations
could be misconstrued in the
week ahead. Keep your thoughts
to yourself if your money or a
key relationship is at stake.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
This week, your attention could
center on your public image.
The juggling act you perform
to coordinate home and business matters may need some
minor tweaking in light of recent
changes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The best helping hand
forecast
you can find is right at the end
of your arm. In the week ahead,
use your keen intellect to tackle
complex problems rather than
relying on input from others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Sweeping changes at home
or in your career may put you
on the defensive this week.
This creatively and remember
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s comment:
“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two
opposing ideas in mind at the
same time.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): The direction of your life
could be in the hands of others this week. Most of those
who enter your life now are
trustworthy. Excess enthusiasm
requires plenty of exercise, so
find appropriate outlets for your
energy.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Use tactfulness and don’t take
sides. You may be walking a
balance beam as the week unfolds. You have both the good
grace to charm co-workers and
the determination to take care of
necessities.
March 8, marked the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the
ground war in Vietnam with the
deployment of 3,500 Marines.
By war’s end on April 30, 1975,
nearly 3 million service men and
women had fought in the conflict
that would take the lives of more
than 58,000 Americans.

OF THE WORLD
by Mark Andrews
March 19: ON THIS DATE in 1918, Congress
approved daylight-saving time. In 1953, the
Academy Awards ceremony was televised for
the first time; “The Greatest Show on Earth”
won Best Picture.
HISTORY
March 20: ON THIS DATE in 1899, Martha
M. Place of Brooklyn became the first woman
to be executed in the electric chair. She was put
to death at Sing Sing for the murder of her stepdaughter. In 1969, John Lennon married Yoko
Ono in Gibraltar.
Dogs
continued from page 15
Macadamia Nuts
Although macadamia nut
toxicosis is unlikely to be fatal in dogs, it can cause very
uncomfortable symptoms that
may persist for up to 48 hours.
Affected dogs develop weakness
in their rear legs, appear to be
in pain, may have tremors and
may develop a low grade fever.
Fortunately, these signs will
gradually subside over 48 hours,
but dogs experiencing more than
mild symptoms can benefit from
veterinary care, which may include intravenous fluid therapy
and pain control.
Moldy Foods
A wide variety of molds grow
on food. Some produce toxins
called tremorgenic mycotoxins,
which can cause serious or even
life-threatening problems if ingested by dogs. Unfortunately,
it’s not possible to determine
whether a particular mold is producing tremorgenic mycotoxins,
so the safest rule of thumb is to
avoid feeding dogs moldy food.
In other words, if you wouldn’t
eat it, neither should your dog.
President Abraham Lincoln
signed the bill into law on
Dec. 21, 1861. Lincoln signed
a similar measure on behalf of
the U.S. Army on July 12, 1862,
and the country had two Medals
of Honor: one for sailors and
one for soldiers.
There are now three similar,
yet distinct, versions of the
Medal of Honor, one for each
military department -- Army,
Navy, and Air Force. The medals are similar in that each
consists of a variation of a
five-pointed star worn around
the neck on a light blue ribbon.
The Navy version is awarded
to those serving in the Navy
and Marine Corps, and during
times of war, to members of
the Coast Guard. The Air Force,
which was established as an independent department in 1947,
adopted its distinctive Medal of
Honor in 1965. The first presentation of the U.S. Air Force’s
medal took place in 1967 during
the Vietnam War.
The Postal Service receives
no tax dollars for operating
expenses and relies on the sale
of postage, products and services
to fund its operations.
March 21: ON THIS DATE in 1963, the Alcatraz federal prison island in San Francisco Bay
was vacated of its last inmates. In 1965, more
than 3,000 civil-rights demonstrators, led by
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., began their
march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala.
March 22: ON THIS DATE in 1765, Britain
enacted the Stamp Act to raise money from the
American colonies; the Brits repealed it after
strident protests by colonists the following year.
In 1933, during Prohibition, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt signed a measure to legalize wine and
beer containing up to 3.2 percent alcohol.
Promptly remove any trash or
moldy debris (road-kill, fallen
walnuts or fruit, etc.) from your
dog’s environment to prevent
him from eating it. The signs
of tremorgenic mycotoxin poisoning generally begin as fine
muscle tremors that progress to
very coarse total-body tremors
and, finally, convulsions that
can lead to death in severe cases.
Left untreated, these tremors
can last for several weeks. Fortunately, they usually respond
well to appropriate veterinary
treatment.
Onions and Garlic
All close members of the
onion family (shallots, onions,
garlic, scallions, etc.) contain
compounds that can damage
dogs’ red blood cells if ingested
in sufficient quantities. A rule of
thumb is “the stronger it is, the
more toxic it is.” Garlic tends
to be more toxic than onions,
on an ounce-for-ounce basis.
While it’s uncommon for dogs
to eat enough raw onions and
garlic to cause serious problems,
exposure to concentrated forms
of onion or garlic, such as dehydrated onions, onion soup mix
or garlic powder, may put dogs
at risk of toxicosis. The damage
to the red blood cells caused
by onions and garlic generally
doesn’t become apparent until
three to five days after a dog eats
these vegetables. Affected dogs
may seem weak or reluctant to
move, or they may appear to tire
easily after mild exercise. Their
urine may be orange-tinged to
dark red in color. These dogs
should be examined by a veterinarian immediately. In severe
cases, blood transfusions may
be needed.
Xylitol
Xylitol is a non-caloric sweetener that is widely used in
sugar-free gum, as well as in
sugar-free baked products. In
humans, xylitol does not affect
blood sugar levels, but in dogs,
ingestion of xylitol can lead to
a rapid and severe drop in blood
sugar levels. Dogs may develop
disorientation and seizures
within 30 minutes of ingesting
xylitol-containing products,
or signs may be delayed for
several hours. Some dogs who
ingest large amounts of xylitol
develop liver failure, which can
be fatal. All dogs ingesting xylitol-containing products should
be examined by a veterinarian
immediately.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
The turtle only makes progress
when he sticks his neck out. You
might find that taking risks appeals to you in the week ahead.
You’d be wise to hold off until
late in the week to make major
purchases.
