Because the scream- Kyiv vs. AFC Ajax ESPN2 — Playoffs, Semifinals (Best-of-5 series), Game 2, Phoenix at ing was so abnormal, I wanted to seek the child out to see what was causing it. When I found the screamer, she was being pushed in a TENNIS Seattle stroller by her mother, with a man (possibly her father) and two Noon other women walking alongside. As the screaming and crying continued, none of the adults made any attempt to talk to, interact with or hush the child. It appeared as if they were in full ignore mode. As a mother, I know that children have these types of meltdowns On The Tube when they’re hungry, they’re tired or a request for something shiny or sparkly has not been met. However, when my children were young and I found myself in a public place when they began to get cranky, I immediately removed them from the store and took them outside until they calmed down. To me, this was the polite thing to Goodman guessing do so I did not subject other shoppers to the subsequent crying that was sure to come. The store was quite large, and as the group moved away from where I was, the child continued to cry, kick and scream in her he’s ‘mopey’ stroller. Everyone in the store could hear her as the family casually strolled from department to department. I finally finished with what I was there to get and left as quickly widower in as I could because I couldn’t bear to hear the screaming any longer.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2018: This year you might note that some of your friends are looking at you twice. You are capable of coming up with two oppos- ing ideas and solutions at once. This dichot- omy directly reflects the wholeness of your thinking and your lack of bias. If you are single, you draw many wannabe suitors DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker toward you. You might enjoy dating this year, at least through early summer. If you are attached, don’t play devil’s advocate with your sweetie, as it isn’t likely to work out in your favor. Schedule some more one- on-one time as a couple. PISCES envies your ability to relate. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH The constriction you felt in the morning could vanish by the afternoon. At that point, you won’t care less about what SCARY GARY Mark Buford was going on in the morning. Don’t be too cavalier, or it could backfire. If you seem too chipper, others could get jealous. Tonight: Be more easygoing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Focus on what is significant to you in the morning; you will want the rest of the day for research and reflection. A close loved one might not be as supportive as you would like him or her to be. Remember that we all come from different experiences. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s. Crosswords GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be wondering what is DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni going on. First, you run into a demanding boss or key person in your life. Your instincts tell you to try logic, but that is not likely to work right now. In fact, for some people, frustration and anger could be building. Tonight: Be more diplomatic. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Follow your instincts in the morn- ing. In the afternoon, you’ll have to deal with someone’s irritable mood. Tension could be so high that an argument breaks out between you. Try not to hit this person below the belt with a sharp comment. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could find that a discussion B.C. Mastroianni and Hart propels you into never-never land. What you visualize as a potential possibility might be impossible for others to wrap their minds around. You might want to follow through on your idea and test it out. Tonight: Work with the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others will seek you out early on. You might feel as if you are dealing with the impossible. By noon, if not earlier, you’ll decide to deal with each individual directly. Others appreciate what you are doing and let you know. Tonight: Treat a friend to din- ner and drinks. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be more supportive of yourself. ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie Understand what you need to do in order to finish a project. You might not have as much control over your life in the after- noon, when others seek you out. Be selec- tive in your choices. You have tasks to complete! Tonight: Celebrate a change. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could have a problem with a boss or someone who has a big impact on your life. Stay upbeat, and try to understand the core issue. Your positive attitude defines the results. Don’t make problems where there aren’t any. All’s well that ends well. Tonight: Don’t lose your focus. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are full of get-up-and-go. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett You’ll handle a personal matter in the morn- ing. Clear out as much as you can, yet be OK with needing to continue the resolution later. Note the creative surge you experi- ence in the afternoon. Use it to your advan- tage. Tonight: Go full speed ahead! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Stay centered, knowing full well what is too much to take on. You gain suc- cess through perseverance; forget being a superhero. Focus your energy on resolving Cryptoquip an important domestic issue later in the day. You’ll be glad that you did. Tonight: Go for a power nap if you need it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Your grumbling over a monetary ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe issue could point to a constructive outcome. Too much generosity will not serve you well. Be sensitive to your budget. How you see an impending interaction could define the results. Tonight: Visualize positive pos- sibilities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Clear out a hassle quickly in the morning. If you can identify with the other party involved, the solution will appear eas- ily and let you see the matter in a new light. Go buy a token of appreciation that is long overdue.
