Members discussed the 2014-15 school calendar, which High School Principal Nicholas Langhals said could change. Its similar to this years calendar, Langhals said. The biggest change could be in the laws regarding calamity days.

He advised the trustees he received a call from Jim Buettner regarding a site survey and the trustees asked him to get in touch with the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District regarding this. Kimmet gave the trustees the Fund Status and the Bank Reconciliation Reports for Dec. 31, 2013, to review and sign. He advised the trustees that all year-end reports for 2013 have been completed and filed where necessary and a notice will be published in the paper for the 2013 Annual Financial Report. He gave the trustees copies of the Certificate of Total Sources available for Expenditures and Balances, the Revenue Status Report and the 2014 Appropriations for their review and asked for a resolution accepting the appropriation as presented. Youngpeter offered the resolution, which was seconded by Gilden. He then gave the trustees the Purchase Orders and the Blank Certificates needed for 2014 to review and sign. He read a letter from the Allen County Recorders Office regarding any changes in zoning within the township for 2013, which there wasnt any.

We will discuss who will be trained on the student information-oriented software, which allows us to track student progress, pull test questions and has many useful tools. Thinkgates software connects educators with information through integrated performancemanagement tools, giving teachers and administrators better information when and where they need it most through an app-like interface, or dashboard, which does not require a lot of training. The next meeting will be held in the school library at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 19. The public is welcome to attend.

Get physical
Many people do not get enough exercise. Children sit in schools, many adults sit at desks or behind counters, and people of all ages play video games, watch television and spend hours sending texts or email. If you do not exercise a lot, even a little physical activity can improve your health. And if you are starting a tness program, it is important to start slowly and build up strength and endurance. Different physical activities require different skills. Like all people learning exercise techniques, athletes need to learn specic skills and combinations of skills. For instance, a skateboarder needs one set of physical skills, a dancer other skills, a basketball player still others. In the movie The Karate Kid, the karate teacher, Mr. Miyagi, begins his training of the boy Daniel by asking him to wax his car, sand his deck, paint his fence and paint his house. After days of this grueling x-it work, Daniel complains that he isnt any better at karate than he was before he became Mr. Miyagis free handy-man. Then the master shows his student that the ways in which he was waxing the car, sanding the deck, painting the fence and painting the house were actually strengthening and training his muscles. Recognizing and building different skills can improve understanding of physical tness and lead to healthy exercise. What physical skills can you develop in winter time?

Now us siblings take turns having the family every year although most do not take it around Christmas anymore so that takes a lot of the fun away. Usually the gathering is held around springtime. It is brother Alberts turn for the 2013 Christmas gathering but havent heard of any plans so it is probably this summer sometime. It is nice for the four of us siblings that live here in Michigan to at least get together in memory of our dear parents on New Years Day. A blessed 2014 to all.

We havent been pressing teams like normal because we didnt have the depth to do it consistently. Getting those two back has helped Goergens our depth and we applied more fullcourt pressure, Hoffman added. New Bremen handled our pressure pretty well but as we altered our defenses we played three or four until we found one that worked, a triangle-and-2 we did better at forcing mistakes. Delphos finished shooting 14-of-41 from the field, 2-of-14 long range, for 34.1 percent; with 27 boards (8 offensive); 15 turnovers; and 13 fouls. New Bremen was a cold 14-of-47 shooting, 1-of-10 from deep, for 29.8 percent; 9-of-14 at the line (64.3%); with 38 off the glass (15 offensive) as Thieman added seven; and 23 fouls. We missed a lot of easy scoring chances, especially early. We had too many empty possessions, especially with turnovers, Burden added.

VARSITY JEFFERSON (46) See WILDCATS, page 8 By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com FORT RECOVERY The St. Johns Blue Jays outscored the Fort Recovery Indians for three quarters Tuesday night at the Fort Site Fieldhouse. But the third quarter doomed the Blue Jays as they were outscored 22-10, handing St. Johns their first Midwest Athletic Conference loss of the season 49-47. St. Johns held a 25-16 advantage at the half but Fort Recovery came out on fire. Derek Backs grabbed an offensive rebound and put it back for the bucket to cut into the Blue Jay lead. St. Johns pushed the lead back to 29-20 after free throws made by three different Blue Jays (Evan Hays, Eric Clark and Andy Grothouse). The game turned when Kyle Schroer attempted a shot over the 6-5 Tyler Conley and was stuffed, then a mystery whistle sounded and play stopped except for Elijah Kahlig, who alertly picked up the blocked shot and nailed the 3-pointer. After a Grothouse free throw, Fort Recovery got within one with treys from Backs and Darien Sheffer. Conley found Grothouse under the bucket for an easy layin and the lead was 32-29. The Indians got their first lead of the game when Kahlig hit a pull up and Backs hit a triple for the 2-point margin with 2:10 left in the third. The Blue Jays took the lead back with an offensive rebound tapped out by Alex Odenweller to Hays and back to Grothouse for the bucket. Fort Recovery scored the last four points of the third on buckets by Kahlig and Backs for a 38-35 lead heading into the final period. Ryan Koester tied the game with a three from the corner after neither team scored for almost two minutes to open the final stanza. Fort Recovery began to attack the basket with a layup by Sheffer. The Indians got fouled enough by the Jays to be in the bonus with 4:55 to play. Luckily enough for the locals, Fort Recovery shot poorly from the charity stripe, making only six out of 13 for the night. But these few made freebies gave the Indians a 44-38 lead. The Blue Jays battled back with a banker from Grothouse and a triple from Koester and suddenly it was a 1-point game. When the pressure was on, Sheffer converted three out of four free throw attempts for a 4-point lead. Grothouse hit a pair from the charity line to cut the lead to two with 2:11 remaining. Conley was also cool under pressure when he made his pair of free throws to tie the contest at 47 with only 1:15 left. See JAYS, page 8

players. This time around, the setting was decidedly low-key. There were no famous faces among the 20 or so attendees, counting at least a half-dozen lawyers for both sides and attorneys awaiting cases later on the morning docket, and no media throng waiting beyond the steps of the Thomas F. Eagleton Courthouse. I think it went well, NFL attorney Gregg Levy said. The court was well-prepared. The NFLPA is appealing a ruling by U.S. District Judge David Doty in Minneapolis rejecting the unions attempt to reopen the lawsuit that guided labor matters from 1993 until a collective bargaining agreement was reached in 2011. Among other reasons, union attorney Jeffrey Kessler said, the case should be revisited because the agreement did not cover retired players and others not in the union. See NFL, page 8
dementia. The rest of the $765 million represents neurological testing and education. Lawyers will be paid on top of that by the NFL, meaning the suit would cost the league $900 million or about 10 percent of one years annual revenues. Brody also took issue with another part of the original agreement, writing in a footnote that she was concerned that the agreement prevents participants from suing the NCAA and other amateur football organizations. At the time they reached the deal, the players lawyers said that they would have faced huge challenges just to get the case to trial. They would have to prove the injuries were linked to the players NFL service and should not be handled through league arbitration. On Tuesday, a statement from the players lawyers, Christopher Seeger and Sol Weiss, read We believe this is an extraordinary settlement for retired NFL players and their families and have received overwhelming support as they have learned about its benefits. We look forward to finalizing this agreement so they can soon begin taking advantage of its benefits.

whether the legal process will take weeks or months. Supreme Court decisions have set narrow grounds for judges to vacate arbitration decisions, instances such as corruption or not following the rules agreed to by the parties. WHAT IS THE JUDGES BACKGROUND? Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in 1960, Ramos is a graduate of Yale and Harvard Law School. He was an assistant U.S. attorney in Brooklyn from 199202, between stints as an associate at Simpson Thatcher & Bartlett, and a partner at Day Pitney, where he was a member of the white-collar and internal investigations practice group. At the U.S. Attorneys Office, he became deputy chief of the narcotics section. In 2009, he was the court-appointed defense lawyer for Oussama Kassir, a Lebanese-born Swede convicted of 12 charges of plotting to help al-Qaida recruit and then sentenced to life in prison. Ramos served for eight years as commissioner of the New York City Commission to Combat Police Corruption following his appointment by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The judge was nominated for the bench by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in December 2011.

Pujols now plays for the Los Angeles Angels but maintains a home in St. Louis County. Clark also lives in the St. Louis area. The lawsuit said Pujols character and reputation are impeccable and beyond reproach and cites his charitable work with the Pujols Family Foundation. The suit calls calling Clark a struggling radio talk show host who was chasing ratings in the first week his new show was on the air when the comments were made. Pujols, a nine-time All-Star, played for the Cardinals from 2001-11, before signing a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Angels. Clark played for the Cardinals from 1985-87 and was a four-time All-Star.

NEW YORK (AP) Cy Young Award winners Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers headed 146 players who filed for salary arbitration. Tampa Bay pitcher David Price, Pittsburgh third baseman Pedro Alvarez, Cincinnati pitcher Aroldis Chapman, Arizona outfielder Mark Trumbo, Baltimore catcher Matt Wieters and Washington pitcher Jordan Zimmermann also were among those who filed Tuesday. Players are set to swap proposed salaries with their clubs Friday and hearings will be scheduled for next month in St. Petersburg, Fla. Of the 133 players who filed last year, none went to hearings the first time since the process began in 1974 that every case settled. After peaking at 35 hearings in 1986, the number of cases argued hasnt reached double digits since 2001. Players in arbitration averaged a 119 percent increase last year, according to a study by The Associated Press.
Caldwell
The Lions will introduce Caldwell as their coach Wednesday during a news conference at Ford Field. We believe Jim is the right man to lead our team and deliver a championship to our fans, Lions owner William Clay Ford said in a statement. The Ravens struggled on offense in 2013 and mightve replaced Caldwell if he didnt get another job. Baltimore ranked 29th on offense overall 30th rushing and 18th passing last season with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice. Still, Caldwells body of work was enough to also make him a candidate to lead the Washington Redskins and Titans. Former Tennessee coach Mike Munchak and ex-Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak were also considered by the Lions. Im excited because he has worked with some good coaches and he did a good job with the Colts, Lions offensive guard Rob Sims said in a telephone interview. Players seem to like him, so Im looking forward to being a part of the next chapter of Detroit Lions football with him leading us. Caldwell won his first 14 games with the Colts in 2009 before losing the final two games of the regular season while resting Manning and most of the other starters. The Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Indy was 10-6 the following season and won another AFC South title, then lost to the New York Jets in a wild-card game. With Manning
Jays
out for all of Caldwells third season, the Colts lost 14 games and Caldwell lost his job. In Baltimore, Caldwell replaced offensive coordinator Cam Cameron toward the end of the 2012 regular season and he seemed to give the offense a boost as it went on to win the Super Bowl against San Francisco. Helping the Lions win one playoff game would be a relative feat: Detroit has only one playoff victory more than two decades ago since winning the 1957 NFL title. Caldwell, who won two playoff games in his first season with the Colts, will be counted on to use his experience with quarterbacks to make Matthew Stafford better. Detroit drafted Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009 and after two injury-shortened seasons, he has been spectacular at times and shaky at others. When the Lions needed him most, he was at his worst last season. He had an NFL-high 14 turnovers from Week 11-16 as Detroit dropped five of six games, plummeting out of first place in the NFC North and wasting an opportunity to win a division title for the first time since 1993. Caldwells first job as a head coach was at Wake Forest, which fired him in 2000 with a 26-63 record over eight seasons. Caldwell, who is from Beloit, Wis., played defensive back for Iowa and began his coaching career in 1977 as a graduate assistant with the Hawkeyes. Caldwell later went on to coach quarterbacks, wide receivers and outside linebackers from 1982-84 for Bill McCartney at Colorado.
The lawsuit filed in May 2012 claimed the NFL imposed a secret salary cap during the uncapped 2010 season that cost players at least $1 billion. The league denied the allegation, although four teams were punished for overspending and undermining competitive balance, with Dallas and Washington hit with future-cap reductions. The case landed in appeals court after Doty rejected a claim of collusion in December 2012. Doty had previously sided with players during more than two decades of judging NFL labor matters. Kessler said players were offended at the insinuation of gamesmanship involved in the appeal and added the CBA has no relevance in the proceedings. Levy argued that there was no legal precedent for the appeal, calling it an extraordinary premise. He noted that all parties involved have prospered
since the agreement, reiterated the leagues position that the collusion claim was moot and said the lawsuit was beyond the statute of limitations. At one point during Levys argument, Riley said he thought the district court ruling was pretty thin. Levy replied: Its right on the money. A decision from the threejudge panel is expected in two or three months. Well get back to you in due course, Chief Judge William Riley of Omaha, Neb., told both parties. White filed a class-action lawsuit in 1993 seeking more open free agency and a salary cap. The resulting agreement was in place until 2008 when the NFL opted out, saying its costs were too high and that it needed givebacks from players. Before the lawsuit, the NFL had limited free agency known as Plan B, in which teams were allowed to protect 37 players and had the right to match offers for free agents or receive compensation. White died in 2006.

Fort Recovery worked the ball outside of the Jayss defense and called timeout with 20 seconds remaining to set up for the last shot. Kahlig responded for the Indians, hitting a jumper from the top of the key for the win. After the game, coach Aaron Elwer said that third quarter was tough, allowing them to score 22 points. But give our kids credit; they battled back in a tough environment and tied the score in the fourth. Kahlig made a big play at the buzzer when he needed to. The Blue Jays were led in scoring with Grothouses 18 points. Clark hit back-to-back 3-pointers in the second quarter and finished with 10 points. Koester and Conley chipped in eight apiece. For the game, the Jays made 11-of-14 free throws. The Indians were led by Kahlig with 18 points. Backs and Sheffer both added 10 points each.

Delphos Family Physicians Big bill should be paid out of savings receives mark of excellence
Information submitted DELPHOS Carl. S. Wehri, M.D., president, Delphos Family Physicians, Inc., is pleased to announce that his laboratory has met all criteria for Laboratory Accreditation by the Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation and has received the Mark of Excellence by meeting or exceeding national benchmarks of quality in the COLA Accreditation Achievement Program. COLA is a national healthcare accreditation organization and is approved by the federal government. Accreditation is given only to laboratories that apply rigid standards of quality in day-to-day operations, demonstrate continued accuracy in the performance of proficiency testing and pass a rigorous on-site laboratory survey. Wehri has earned COLA accreditation as a result of a long-term commitment to provide quality laboratory services to his patients. Delphos Family Physicians, Inc., is also affiliated with the majority of insurance plans in the surrounding area. Wehri has also recently completed the requirements for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, is an approved medical examiner for DOT drivers and is listed on the national registry of certified medical examiners. DEAR BRUCE: I have a bill for $13,000 that needs to be paid as soon as possible. My question is, where should I take the money: from my CD 401(k), which has no penalty, or use my savings account, which has $15,000? -- R.S. Via Email DEAR R.S.: You mentioned that you have a 401(k) with a bank CD. How much can that be paying you? I wouldnt take the money out of the 401(k) because it is tax-protected, but I most certainly wouldnt leave it sitting in a CD. The market is the only place that I would recommend. As to your savings, pay the bill and keep the $2,000 in your account, then pay yourself back as quickly as you can. As you will come to find out, it goes in very slowly and comes out enormously fast. DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I are having a disagreement regarding Roth IRAs. Together we earn around $100,000. I was told that we should open a Roth IRA and my husband says we shouldnt. Can you tell me who is correct? -- Cynthia, via email DEAR CYNTHIA: You havent told me much about your and your husbands ages and individual incomes. But, by and large, a Roth has many advantages. Not the least of these is that you put money in a Roth with taxes having already been paid. From that point forward, until such time as you cash it in, there are no taxes and nothing on the interest that is earned. The younger you are, the smarter this is. There will be more time for your money to work hard for you without paying taxes on those returns. I am assuming that you will put the money in the Roth in a reasonably solid investment, one that should return somewhere between 7 percent and 8 percent a year. Thats a goal that is relatively easy to obtain in the market. DEAR BRUCE: I am 66 years old. My friends tell me to start opening up, to spend a little and enjoy it. My house has been remodeled and is ready to sell. Its valued at $170,000. My only debt is a home equity loan of $14,000. My investments and cash are $210,000. My Social Security is $1,760 a month; my pension is $1,557 and Im drawing $800 a month from investments. So I deposit $4,117 in my checking directly each month. My budget allowance (including taxes and insurance) is $3,104 monthly. I also have a part-time job that pays me $10,000 a year. Should I have a more freewheeling attitude about money? I have physicals twice a year, and feel only the loss of my great wife of 43 years. -- Steve, via email DEAR STEVE: I am with your friends. Go out and enjoy your life. Who are you saving it for? At 66 years old, you are a very young man. I am not suggesting you go out and spend more than what is

coming in, but you have close to $1,000 a month plus the part-time job over and above your monthly expenses. By all means, take a cruise, get a hobby, do something that pleases you. You cant take it with you. DEAR BRUCE: Is it necessary to have a child as executor? We are 70 years old with three adult children. We asked our oldest son to be executor and have given him power of attorney, as well. We have an issue with one of the others. She is very upset about him being chosen, plus she does not get along with the other two. Our son says he doesnt want to do this, but will anyway. Would it be wise to have an attorney as executor? We would like to relieve the stress in our family over this issue and do not know which way to go. I can imagine that an attorney might say its OK, but is it prudent in your opinion? Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. -- Alvin, via email DEAR ALVIN: The direct answer is you could have anyone you choose be your executor. The fact that your daughter doesnt get along with the other two siblings is lamentable, but thats the way life is. If your oldest son doesnt want to do it, dont force him. On the other side of that, it would be a lot cheaper if he did because he wont charge you. An attorney certainly will charge you to be the executor. I dont think you are going to relieve the stress in your family very much. Maybe the other son would be executor, but I dont see any reason to pay an attorney to try to avoid stress. Its going to be there no matter what. DEAR BRUCE: How much emergency money should I have in savings in case I get laid off or an unexpected bill comes in the mail? -- Y.P., via email DEAR Y.P.: There is no magic number. It used to be common to recommend having three months of after-tax income. Frankly, it isnt as necessary today as it once was. Rather than saving the money in cash and receiving very little income from it, you can invest that money and rely on credit cards for a month or two of income should an emergency happen. But when I say emergency, I mean a true emergency, not something you simply feel a need for. The credit cards should be used only when absolutely necessary.

CHICAGO (AP) The billionaire businessman behind Beanie Babies learned Tuesday that he wont go to prison for hiding at least $25 million from U.S. tax authorities, and the judge who gave him two years probation instead went to great lengths to praise his charitable giving. H. Ty Warner, one of the highest profile figures snared in a federal investigation of Americans using Swiss bank accounts to avoid U.S. taxes, issued a brief apology before he was sentenced in Chicago federal court. The toymaker, who pleaded guilty to a single count of tax evasion, said he felt shame and embarrassment for what he had done. Warner, 69, could have been sentenced to up to five years in prison, and a prosecutor Michelle Petersen asked U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras to give Warner at least a year behind bars. Peterson detailed how Warner meticulously hid his income more than $100 million at one point by filing false tax returns for at least 11 years, and pointed out that another area businessman caught in the same dragnet, Peter Troost, got a year in prison from another judge in that courthouse for hiding far less $3 million.
were forced to close and lost money until the water was safe again. A spokesman for Freedom declined to comment Tuesday. The companys president, Gary Southern, answered questions at a brief press conference Friday that ended shortly after he complained that he was tired. Farrell said Tuesday that he could not discuss the spill or the companys operations. Its not that we dont want to, Farrell said. Its that one, were a little busy, and two, were not ready. The terminal with the leak which hadnt been inspected by state officials since 2001, when it was owned by a different company operating under more stringent rules was bought by Freedom Industries last month, state officials said. It was previously owned by Etowah River Terminal LLC, which has long shared ties with top-ranking officials at Freedom. A 2001 corporate filing lists Farrell as the manager of Etowah. Etowah and Freedom officially merged at the end of December. Freedom Industries traces its start back to 1992, when Carl Kennedy II filed the incorporation papers. Kennedy and Farrell owned a 50-50 stake in the venture, according to a legal claim that Freedom Industries filed years later against Kennedy. During its early years, the company sold chemicals designed to prevent dust on dirt roads from becoming airborne. It averaged roughly $50,000 to $60,000 in annual revenue.
All you have to do is check out the diet books on best-seller lists to know that healthy eating can take many different forms. But even a perfectly nutritious plan wont improve your health if it costs too much, lacks flavor or is hard to follow because the meals take too long to prepare. Consumer Reports recently evaluated the pros and cons of five nutrition regimens. -- The Plan: DASH The promise: Fresh food with a limit on fat, sodium and sugar. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension plan -- better known as the DASH diet -- is so heart-healthy that you might expect it to be tasteless and even difficult to follow. But its not, and its OK to make changes gradually. The plan is heavy on vegetables, fruit, whole grains, low- or no-fat dairy and lean protein, and light on saturated fat, added sugars and salt and meets the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Pros: Studies have found that the DASH diet can lower blood pressure and decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, but not at the expense of satisfying your taste buds.
Cons: Portion sizes need to be carefully monitored, and keeping to the daily sodium recommendation -- for some people less than 1,500 milligrams per day -- can be a challenge. -- The Plan: Mediterranean The promise: Wholesome meals with family, friends and wine. An easy way to know what is allowed on a Mediterranean-type meal plan is to ask whether your great-grandmother would recognize the food. If so, then chances are its on this plan: fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, healthy fats and fish and seafood. It also includes poultry, eggs, cheese and yogurt in moderation, and sweets and red meat no more than a few times a month. Pros: Studies have found that the Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of certain cancers, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Cons: Because its a way
planned vegetarian diet, however, has just as many health benefits as any other nutritionally sound plan. Pros: Research, including a study of 73,000 men and women published in JAMA Internal Medicine in June, suggests that following a vegetarian diet can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels and the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Cons: You might end up bulking up on starches, and menu options are limited when dining out. -- The Plan: Volumetrics The promise: The staples of this plan -- water-rich foods like broth soups, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meat and fish -- not only help control hunger by filling you up but they also do it with fewer calories. Pros: This type of dietary pattern is associated with a decreased risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Meals are filling and nothing is off-limits. Cons: Meal prep can be tedious for people who dont like to cook. DISTRIBUTED BY UNIVERSAL UCLICK FOR UFS

supply is restored, a part of the brain dies. Without a regular supply of oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood, brain cells cannot remain alive. The most common cause of a stroke is a sudden blockage in an artery. Its called an ischemic (iss-KEEmic) stroke. A buildup of fat in the wall of a brain artery (a plaque of atherosclerosis) can cause a blockage. A clot traveling through blood can get wedged in the artery. Less often, a stroke occurs when an artery in the brain bursts, causing a hemorrhage. This, too, severely damages a part of the brain. There are many things people can -and should -- do to reduce their stroke risk:
-- Lower blood pressure. Maintain a blood pressure of less than 120/80 mm Hg. Reduce salt in your diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. Those dietary changes will help lower blood pressure. If needed, take blood pressure medicines. -- Lose weight. If youre overweight, losing as little as 10 pounds can have a real impact on your stroke risk. -- Exercise more. Exercise at a moderate intensity for at least 30 minutes, five days a week. This will reduce your risk of getting a stroke (and many other illnesses), even if you dont lose weight from regular exercise. -Drink in moderation. Moderate alcohol intake lowers the risk of stroke. Women can have one drink per day; men can have up to two. -- Take medicines your doctor has recommended for
heart and blood vessel conditions. For example, a daily baby aspirin or a blood thinner for atrial fibrillation, or sugarlowering medicines if you have diabetes. -- Quit smoking. Smoking accelerates clot formation. Use aids such as nicotine pills or patches, counseling or medicine to help you kick the habit. I dont know if your friend could have prevented her stroke, but I do know that most people whose lives are forever altered by a stroke could have done more to prevent it.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2014 Stick to what you know, and avoid any sudden and inconsistent moves that could threaten your reputation. Conservative action and expertise will help you overcome opposition and accusations. Stand tall and proceed with confidence. Play the game of life to win. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Listen carefully, but dont allow your emotions to sway you in one direction or another. It would be better to mediate, rather than participate, in an unwinnable debate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Show everyone how capable you are. A proposal will bring in extra cash and change the way you live. Dont let a secret affair cause emotional grief. Honesty is the best policy. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You can make your dreams come true with a little time and effort. Join organizations that share your interests and expertise. A special person should be treated to a romantic evening. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your changing or inconsistent attitude will cause disruptions with the people you deal with personally and professionally. Think twice before you make a sudden move. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Relax, and enjoy friends and family. Make personal changes that will keep you up to date mentally and physically. A pleasurable trip will entice you, but caution while traveling will be essential. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Set your goals high, and get ready for action. Consultation with experts will enable you to cut corners and reach your destination quickly. Mix business with pleasure. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -If you feel uncertain, step back and observe. The more information you gather, the easier it will be to make a tough choice. Refuse to get upset about matters you cannot change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An emotional matter will skyrocket if you dont control the situation. Prepare to make last-minute changes if it will help you avoid an unsavory entanglement. Focus on personal relationships. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take steps to ensure that things go the way you plan. Dont leave anything to chance, and take steps to correct any situation that you feel has the potential to head in the wrong direction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Too much, too fast leads to disaster. Watch what everyone else is doing and protect your interests. Empty promises can be expected. Get what you want in writing, or take a pass. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Let your mind wander and your imagination take over. Take a look at your friendships, lifestyle and home base. An unconventional arrangement will inspire you to be more adventuresome. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An investment opportunity may look like a sure thing, but look before you leap. You arent likely to have all the facts required to make an educated choice. Dont take a risk. COPYRIGHT 2014 Feature Syndicate, Inc. United
