Editorial: Supplying student support
August 11, 2010

Annie’s Mailbox: Lack of intimacy concerns boyfriend
August 11, 2010
Dear Annie: I have been dating the woman of my dreams for a year. She treats me incredibly well, and we both are very much in love. Like most adults our age, at first we had sex every week. However, over the past few months, “Jane” has not been willing to make love and has not shown much sign of physical attraction toward me. I confronted her about it, and she said sex is painful. We agreed to try to make things better and not give up on a potentially great sex life.
Horoscope for Aug. 11
August 11, 2010
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Sometimes it is better to make small profits a little at a time rather than trying to make one big killing. Holding out for an uncertain larger amount may yield you exactly nothing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Ideas or concepts that were tailored for another’s needs aren’t necessarily likely to do the same for you. There are variables involved that may work against your needs. Think for yourself.
