News Headlines (507) 30 May - 8 June 2014




ONLINE TODAY

30 May 2014 : You could coast through the day if you feel like it -- or you could take advantage of the frictionless surface you're gliding on to make amazing progress toward an important goal. Your call! It's tempting for you to answer email, talk on your cell and check your messages all at once today. You might actually be able get away with all of it, too! However, make an effort to check in with yourself even during the height of your multitasking, rather than trying to seek new heights. It's vital to see how you're doing, especially now that your energy is running high.

31 May 2014 : Your intuitive side is giving you all sorts of new insights. You may find that you need to ask yourself some big questions to get the pump primed, but then you should be good to go for some time. You've never had a problem with conversation. In fact, you can always find something to chat about, no matter who you're with. But for the moment, you're also going to be amazingly sensitive not only to the words someone is saying, but what they're not saying. Just don't become so wrapped up in someone else's feelings that you forget about your own.

1 June 2014 : You're not feeling quite up to snuff today -- but everybody needs some down time now and then! Take a sick day if you need one and just try to take care of the basics. Quiet can be fun! There's a wonderful astrological safety net in place -- the kind that just about guarantees you a happy landing. Now, this doesn't mean you should get it into your head that you're bulletproof. But if you never take a chance, you'll never know if it would have worked out. Oh, go ahead. Assess the risks, take precautions and give it a shot.

2 June 2014 : Your active energy is practically forcing you to get busy today. Things are looking up for sure, so keep on moving and you should be able to make amazing progress before much time passes. Your emotions today are like a piece of bacon dropped into a hot frying pan: They're twitching, popping and sizzling. You're stuck in this spot for now, but there's a lot you can do to distract yourself. Keep busy physically. Active hands and plenty of movement will counteract your emotional state and could even mute the effect enough to give you long stretches of peace. By the time you get a chance to share your feelings, you'll have a better handle on them.

3 June 2014 : Love is in the air -- it's irresistible! Your great energy makes you more attractive than ever, and you should find that you're getting attention from the right person. Enjoy and live it up! While your tendency is to be all things to all people, make it a point to please yourself at this moment. You are centered, balanced and a tangible force of love. Others are attracted to your inner harmony. Allow your grace to carry you through your day. Flirt, but only with the ones who really catch your eye. Visit friends, but only the ones that please you the most. You can make friends and influence people with a wave of your hand. All you need to do is make the gesture.

4 June 2014 : It's easy for you to dream up new ideas today -- creativity is your best asset! Follow up anything that sounds good and see where you end up. You may need to coax someone who's a bit timid. You've been pushing hard, but take care that in the quest for success you don't lose sight of what's most precious to you. Are you planning to work again during your free time? Instead of toiling in the trenches for an uncertain reward, why not pour equal time and energy into nurturing your family? An afternoon in the woods, at an amusement park or even just picnicking in the backyard can make an enormous difference in everyone's spirits.

5 June 2014 : Someone is stressing you out today -- possibly so much that you need to start a fight. Try to avoid any serious dust-ups, but it's okay if you bare your fangs a bit. Show them you mean business! It won't be a boring day. Startling, for sure -- shocking, maybe. But definitely not boring, humdrum or run-of-the-mill. Your first surprise will likely arrive via either a coworker or someone else you see on a daily basis. Either way, they won't be acting even remotely close to the way they usually do. Of course, you being you, you'll enjoy the change -- and encourage it. Hey, it's your job to be a sparkplug. Might as well have fun with it.

6 June 2014 : A new challenge comes your way -- but it's one you can handle. It may be that it's a test of some sort, so take it seriously and hope for the best. The harder you work, the better things should go for you. Your energy level will continue to lag today, and it might be high time for you to think about what else you can do to take better care of your physical self. You can do something healthy to get fit that is actually fun, you know! Think about the types of activities you like to do -- walking, hiking, biking or skating -- and just do them more often. The hardest part is just getting started, and the stars say that today is the perfect day to do just that.

7 June 2014 : Now is the perfect time to get started on something new. It could be a project or a business deal, but you need to make sure that you're focused on what's most important to you. Your wit is razor sharp today, so don't let it go to waste. When you enter a room full of people, strike up a conversation by just saying whatever is on your mind at the time; don't edit yourself or over think what you want to say. Free and easy communication is usually the most interesting and it will encourage people to talk back. This is a wonderful day for a job interview, a first date, or any other situation in which you need to make an outstanding first impression.

8 June 2014 :  A quick wave of selfishness passes over you today, forcing you to rethink something that had once seemed ironclad. It's easy to put this feeling off for some other time (or maybe get rid of it entirely). The stars are gently reminding you that there's more than one point of view, and you need to take a certain party's perspective into account before you move ahead. You're moving with brisk progress toward what you desire -- and you're about to get it, too -- but it's important that you don't trample or shove anyone out of the way, especially if you want them to stick around for the next phase of the journey. So stop and inquire about someone's feelings.

ALAIN SORAL

What happens if I fondle this sensual face -- right above this text -- in my mind when having sex with my partner? Nothing. They don't know it, but I know it. Now you know it, too. It's okay.
The important question now is, "When is the latest time I had sex with him?"

Ah, stupid question. Do you know that finally sex is unimportant activity to me? I've become an anti-sex nymph now.

Kerry shuts door to 'boots on ground' in Syria intervention. Kerry opens door to 'boots on ground' in Syria, then slams it shut
By Susan Cornwell and Patricia Zengerle - WASHINGTON - Secretary of State John Kerry briefly opened the door on Tuesday to authorizing U.S. ground troops in Syria, but quickly slammed it shut and told Congress that any resolution approving military force would prohibit "boots on the ground." | Draft Senate resolution on Syria (PDF)

The American people are often, in fact always been the victims of terrorism because the U.S. government action in determining its foreign policy.

So, good Americans, if you are the children of a family, terrorists hate you because of your parents vices, in this context is the U.S. government. As a parent, if the anti-American sentiment is always increasingly global, then it is the U.S. government omission to protect  American people's image in the international arena.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Deep uncertainty surrounding military action against Syria hangs over President Barack Obama's three-day overseas trip to Sweden and Russia, which takes him away from Washington just as he's seeking support on Capitol Hill for a strike.

Before he departed Tuesday night, Obama urged lawmakers meeting with him at the White House to support his plan to punish Syria for allegedly using chemical weapons to attack its own people. The president won the backing of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, though that hardly guarantees support in the fractured House of Representatives.

The president also will seek to bolster international support for a strike during talks with world leaders this week at the Group of 20 summit. Those efforts will pit him against Russian president and summit host Vladimir Putin, who has perhaps done the most to stymie international efforts to oust Syria's Bashar Assad.

Obama and Putin's clashing views on Syria have worsened a relationship already rife with tension from differences on human rights, missile defense, and the Russia's decision to grant asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.

"It's been like watching a slow-moving train wreck for nearly two years," Andrew Kuchins, a Russia expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said of the Obama-Putin relationship. "Mr. Putin and Mr. Obama don't like each other at all. I think there's a deep degree of disrespect."

While Syria isn't officially on the agenda at the economy-focused G-20 summit, the potential for imminent military action is expected to dominate conversations on the sidelines of the summit. World leaders will be seeking guidance from the U.S. president about whether he plans to proceed with a strike if Congress rejects his proposed resolution - a question Obama's aides have refused to answer.

Votes in the House and the Senate are expected next week, just after Obama wraps up his trip.

During his meeting with lawmakers Tuesday, Obama said he was confident he'll be able to work with Congress to pass a resolution authorizing a strike.

Air Force One left Washington late Tuesday for an overnight flight to Stockholm. The White House hastily added the Sweden visit to Obama's schedule after he scrapped plans to meet one-on-one with Putin in Moscow ahead of the G-20 in response to Russia granting Snowden temporary asylum.

Snowden's leaks to American and foreign news organizations about secret government spying programs have sparked outrage overseas, particularly in Europe. Obama is likely to face questions about the scope of the programs while overseas, as he did earlier this summer during meetings with the Group of 8 industrial nations.

Even before the Snowden incident, relations between the U.S. and Russia were already on the rocks amid differences on missile defense and nuclear weapons, as well as American concerns over human rights and a new Russian law that targets "homosexual propaganda." Russian gay rights activists say they have been invited to meet with Obama while he is in St. Petersburg this week.

Putin also has appeared to relish blocking American and Western European efforts to weaken Assad throughout Syria's 2 1/2-year civil war. Russia remains one of Syria's strongest military and economic backers.

In a pointed jab last week, Putin asked Obama to reconsider a military strike, saying he was appealing to Obama not as a world leader, but as a Nobel Peace laureate.

"We have to remember what has happened in the last decades, how many times the United States has been the initiator of armed conflict in different regions of the world," Putin said. "Did this resolve even one problem?"

Administration officials insist the U.S. and Russia can still work productively together during the G-20, though in a slight to Putin, the White House has gone out of its way to characterize the trip as less of a visit to Russia than a trip to the G-20 that happened to be taking place there.

The White House also has ruled out a one-on-one meeting between Obama and Putin on the sidelines of the summit, though the two leaders certainly will spend time together in the larger summit sessions.

Obama will hold meetings at the summit with French President Francois Hollande and separately with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Hollande has become an increasingly important ally in the deliberations about military action in Syria. France has indicated a willingness to join the U.S. in a strike, though Hollande said Tuesday that he's waiting for a decision from the U.S. Congress and insisted France won't strike alone.

Obama has been trying to cultivate deeper ties with China's Xi. The two held a rare two-day summit in California earlier this year.

Obama's stop in Sweden on Wednesday will focus on issues such as climate change, security cooperation and trade. The trip marks the first time a sitting U.S. president has made a bilateral visit to Sweden.

While in Stockholm, Obama will hold private meetings with Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and King Carl XVI Gustaf, and will break bread with Nordic leaders from Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Norway. He also will highlight Sweden's technical research programs and celebrate Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who is credited for saving at least 20,000 Jews during the Holocaust before mysteriously disappearing after being imprisoned by authorities in the Soviet Union near the end of World War II.

France waits on US vote over Syria strikes
By RYAN LUCAS -Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) -- France will not carry out punitive missile strikes against Syria on its own and is awaiting a decision from the U.S. Congress on possible military action against Bashar Assad's regime, the French president said Tuesday.

As the Obama administration worked to build support ahead of the Congress vote, the U.S. and Israel conducted a joint missile test in the eastern Mediterranean in an apparent signal of military readiness. In the operation, a missile was fired from the sea toward the Israeli coast to test the tracking by the country's missile defense system.

The U.S. and France accuse the Syrian government of using chemical weapons in an Aug. 21 attack on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus that killed hundreds of people. President Barack Obama and his French counterpart, Francois Hollande, are pushing for a military response to punish Assad for his alleged use of poison gas against civilians - though U.S. officials say any action will be limited in scope, not aimed at helping to remove Assad.

Obama appeared on the verge of launching missile strikes before abruptly announcing on Saturday that he would first seek congressional approval. Congress returns from its summer recess next week.

On Tuesday, the White House won backing for military action from two powerful Republicans - House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner and House majority leader Eric Cantor.

In Paris, Hollande said that the U.S. vote "will have consequences on the coalition that we will have to create." He did not specify whether that meant a military coalition.

"A large coalition must therefore be created on the international scale, with the United States - which will soon take its decision - (and) with Europe ... and Arab countries," Hollande said.

If Congress votes no, France "will take up its responsibilities by supporting the democratic opposition (in Syria) in such a way that a response is provided," he added.

France's government on Monday released an extract of intelligence gathered by two leading French intelligence agencies alleging that Assad's regime was behind the attack and at least two other, smaller-scale ones earlier this year.

Hollande added Tuesday that France had indications the nerve agent sarin was used in the Aug. 21 attack, a claim U.S. officials have also made.

The French parliament will debate the Syria issue Wednesday, but no vote is scheduled. France's constitution doesn't require such a vote for military intervention unless its lasts longer than four months, though some French lawmakers have urged Hollande to call one anyway.

The U.S. and France say the alleged chemical attack violates international conventions. Russia, which with Iran has been a staunch backer of Assad throughout the conflict, has brushed aside Western evidence of an alleged Syrian regime role.

At the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned that any "punitive" action could unleash more turmoil and bloodshed in that nation's civil war.

"I take note of the argument for action to prevent a future use of chemical weapons. At the same time, we must consider the impact of any punitive measure on efforts to prevent further bloodshed and facilitate the political resolution of the conflict," Ban said.

With the Middle East anxious as it awaits a decision about strikes, Israel and the U.S. tested the Jewish state's Arrow 3 missile-defense system over the Mediterranean.

A medium-range decoy missile, known as a Sparrow, was fired in the Mediterranean, and the system successfully detected and tracked it, the Israeli Defense Ministry said. The decoy was not carrying a warhead and the system did not intercept it, the ministry said.

In a statement Tuesday, Pentagon spokesman George Little said the U.S. provided technical assistance and support to the Israeli test.

He said the test was "long planned to help evaluate the Arrow Ballistic Missile Defense system's ability to detect, track, and communicate information about a simulated threat to Israel."

He said the test had nothing to do with the U.S. consideration of military action in Syria.

Nonetheless, it served as a reminder to Syria and its patron, Iran, that Israel is pressing forward with development of a "multilayered" missile-defense system. Both Syria and Iran, and their Lebanese ally Hezbollah, possess vast arsenals of rockets and missiles.

The Arrow 3, expected to be operational around 2016, would be the first such "multilayer" missile-defense system, designed to intercept long-range missiles such the Iranian Shahab before they re-enter the atmosphere.

Last year, Israel also successfully tested a system designed to intercept missiles with ranges of up to 300 kilometers (180 miles) which is expected to be operational by early 2015.

Another system for short-range rockets successfully shot down hundreds fired from the Gaza Strip during eight days of fighting in November, and more recently intercepted a rocket fired from Lebanon.

Meanwhile in Syria, regime troops recaptured the town of Ariha, a busy commercial center in the restive northern province of Idlib following days of heavy bombardment, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Ariha has changed hands several times in the past two years. Rebels had succeeded in wrestling it from government control late last month.

Since the outbreak of the Syria conflict in March 2011, the two sides have fought to a stalemate, though the Assad regime has retaken the offensive in recent months. Rebel fighters control large rural stretches in northern and eastern Syria, while Assad is holding on to most of the main urban areas.

The Syrian conflict, which began as a popular uprising against Assad in March 2011, later degenerated into a civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people.

The U.N. refugee agency announced Tuesday that the number of Syrians who have fled the country has surpassed the 2 million mark.

Along with more than four million people displaced inside Syria, this means more than six million Syrians have been uprooted, out of an estimated population of 23 million.

Antonio Guterres, the head of the Office for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, said Syria is hemorrhaging an average of almost 5,000 citizens a day across its borders, many of them with little more than the clothes they are wearing. Nearly 1.8 million refugees have fled in the past 12 months alone, he said.

The agency's special envoy, actress Angelina Jolie, said "some neighboring countries could be brought to the point of collapse" if the situation keeps deteriorating at its current pace. Most Syrian refugees have fled to Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."
(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Wolfgang A.Gerhardt : May be you like this Sunday collage

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend.

CieL- FreYa Ceastle : Hmm, he's so nice...















"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."

VIRGINIA SATIR
(American Phychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)
