HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday: Ask for what you want this year, and you're liable to get it. Work through a partner, and your odds go up even more. You're lucky in May if you stick to the rules. Close friends close to home give you a boost in July. September's good for romantic commitments, and November's a good month for marriage. There'll be plenty of bills to pay in December, but plenty of good memories, too. Follow orders in February and keep a dear friend's secret in April.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Taurus; Today is a 7.
Money's coming in, and soon. You need to learn how to manage it wisely. You can make this last for a long time — generations, even. If you don't know how, ask for help. Somebody in your family would be glad to teach you.
A lot of planets are in your sign, and more are coming. That means you're strong and assertive. This is good because you have some tough competition. Don't give up, and you'll win this argument.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Figure out what you can do to benefit others. What you want for yourself is important, of course, but it's certainly not all there is. Your wisest investment now would be to do something that benefits somebody else. Those good deeds can pay off well!
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Take advantage of the opportunity for some high-quality private time. You and your loved ones have some projects you've been thinking about. Don't get distracted by a casual acquaintance's demands. Your family comes first, of course.
Leo: Today is a 6.
You could advance in your career the next few weeks. You'll have to pass a tough test, however. Don't let your feelings be hurt if you can't get everything you want. Dues need to be paid, too. Just do it, and you'll get ahead.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You get along with everybody now, even a couple of people who don't understand each other well at all. They're lucky to have you around; that's for sure. Help them set their emotions aside and get to the basic facts.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Finances are your major concern, especially if you want to buy yourself a treat. You need to pay bills and stash away a little for the future. Don't overlook your reward, however. You need to keep your selfmotivated by getting one special goodie.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You'll probably feel pushed today. You don't like that feeling, but it's normal for this time of the month. Next comes the phase when you get to do whatever you want. So finish up the old business, just like you know you should.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
In order to get your way now and for the next several weeks, work through a partner. This can be frustrating, but it's good practice. Just think about it. Once you get this down pat, you'll get people to do things for you all the time.
You may be able to help others get along, which is good. You can be a serious person sometimes, but today you can see the joke. You've had to learn the hard way, so you can see the pitfalls ahead for a friend. Steer him around them if you can.
You may have a headache this morning, but don't despair. You'll feel better as the day goes along. Take it easy and let your friends take some of your load. You don't have to do everything all by yourself, you know. You don't get any extra points for that.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Have you been thinking about taking a class? If you already know it all, have you considered teaching? Something that would benefit your career would be your best topic. Money and education are linked. Your first lesson: Find a way to make that work for you!

Band prefers own style
Continued from page 1B
"It's truly a team effort in the songwriting department,"" Siwek said. "There's a lot of constructive criticism that goes on."
Among the group's most distinctive songs is "Fool's Paradise," an laid-back, vaguely bluesy number completely distinct from the harder rock the band usually produces. Ditgen croons and Kirk plucks out a languid bass line.
The group has eight to ten finished songs, most of which it will perform at tomorrow's show. Many other tunes still are being developed.
Siwek is proud of the diversity.
in late summer, throughout several Midwestern cities. As always, they plan to keep practicing. The group plays together at least three times a week.
"I love the look on everyone's face when we perform this song," he said.
"I've been involved in music all my life," Ditgen said. "I love the atmosphere."
Siwek, the self-described "den mother" of the band, summed it up.
"I wouldn't want to do anything else," Kirk said. "It's my favorite thing to do."
The talk turned to the future.
The four are considering a tour
Why do the four put themselves through it, though? Why devote hours and hours of time to running through songs, putting up fliers and playing shows?
"Just love for it," Mitchell said. "There's not too much you can say in words."
"I love it," he said. "I've never played music for any other reason. I'll be 80 years old in my wheelchair and still playing reheated Van Halen licks."

Nude dancer displays routine on front lawn
LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Neighbors of an exotic dancer don't appreciate the free show they've been getting.
Still, county officials say it's up to police and prosecutors to decide whether to stop the woman from practicing her routines in her front yard. Kim Mattes' performances have

NAPLES, Fla. — An attorney has gotten in trouble for going without his briefs.
Naked lawyer arrested after pool debriefing
Neighbors have complained to Tippecanoe County officials, who say they can't do a thing about it.
Police say lawyer Stuart A. Thompson stripped off his clothes and went skinny-dipping April 17 in a pool without receiving the homeowners' permission.
Thompson was allegedly discovered near the home hiding naked in some bushes by Officer Robert Russell, who was responding to a burglar alarm. Authorities say the man ran away and jumped into the nearby Gulf of Mexico but was captured by two officers who dove in after him.
They took Thompson to the Collier County Jail, where he was booked on numerous charges, including indecent exposure, resisting arrest and attempted burglary.
He was released after posting bond and did not return calls for comment.
Ham store squeeze leaves man squealing
He was right. It was a 32-year-old man calling for help after he got stuck in an air vent leading from the roof into the business.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — When Clinton McNeill heard squeals coming from a HoneyBaked Ham store near his house, he figured it wasn't a pig.
The man was not immediately charged, but police suspect he
"When they got him out, he was real embarrassed, but he thanked me for answering his call for help," said McNeill, who summoned police for the rescue on April 16.
The man told police he was stuck for nearly eight hours before he arrived.
crawled into the shaft from the roof in an attempted burglary and got stuck at the bottom. A ladder was found on the side of the building.
nearly eight hours before help arrived.
He was briefly hospitalized for treatment of minor cuts and bruises and later jailed. His name was withheld pending the filing of charges.
Bishop takes biz outside with drive-thru services
ISLE OF WIGHT, Va. — When you worship at Sweet Holy Haven Church of God, all you need is your car.
Since April 1, Bishop Nathaniel Johnson has been standing in front of his church offering drive-thru
prayer to anyone who stops by from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., seven days a week, rain or shine.
"We've got drive-thru banks and drive thru hamburger
joints. Why not drive-thru prayer?" Johnson savs.
The hours of Johnson's drive-thru ministry come from the Bible, he says. On the day of Jesus' death, darkness fell over the earth from the 6th hour until the 9th hour, when Christ gave up his spirit and died. John says.
He admits it's not easy to get out of bed at 5:15 every morning and head
outdoors before dawn, especially when few people bother to stop by.
But when business is a little slow, he says he just waves to the passing cars.
Telescope size causes bragging right battles
BOSTON — Call it a major case
or telescope envy.
Harvard and
other major univer-
round the world are
about who has the biggest telescope.
The California Institute of Technology has the current world's biggest, the Keck Observatory atop Hawaii's Mauna Kea with a primary mirror 10 meters (33 feet) across. Bigger mirrors collect more light, enabling astronomers to detect fainter and more distant objects.
Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are collaborating with several other schools to build two telescopes with 6 1/2-meter mirrors (almost 21 1/2 feet each) at Las Campanas, Chile, that can function together as one big telescope.
Now, Cal-Tech is thinking of building a 30-meter telescope.
Schools want the best telescopes so they can lure and retain top scientists and to give potential donors evidence that their programs are on the cutting edge, said Stephen Maran, a representative for the American Astronomical Society.
