News Headlines (486) 11 April 2014

ONLINE TODAY

► Today lacks excitement -- but that might be just what you need. Try not to wish for an adrenaline rush, as you may get a lot more trouble than you had hoped. Sometimes boredom is optimal. You're as bubbly as a can full of soda pop, and with good reason. Some recent changes you've made have really started to pay off, and you're able to see just how many choices you have in your life. It's pretty darned wonderful, and part of you wants to get out there and spread the word to your fellow humans. Hold off on any evangelizing tendencies, however, and be content to lead by example. It's really the most effective method.

The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Donald Cook crossed the Bosphorus into the Black Sea Thursday, in a show of support by the U.S. for its Eastern European allies.
