HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
This year managing money wisely makes you more secure. Turn down a friend's request for funds in April. A group can provide what needed in May. The profit inflow is clogged from May to June. Friends reaffirm your leadership and bolster your confidence around August. A secret message could lead to a canceled trip around November. A pleasant surprise from a friend brightens December. Stick to your budget in February, and get your team to do the same.
Aries: Today is a 6.
You and your team should get together. Figure out how to solve the next problem. You shouldn't have to pay for everything yourself. If there's not enough money or answers to go around, don't worry. Gather information for a while instead.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Somebody has good ideas about what you should do next. This person may not be right, even though he or she may outrank you. Don't let anybody push you around. Stick up for your position. Don't do something you know won't work.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You may have things figured out, but new data throws you off balance. The real truth will stay the same, but your perspective is changing. So forget what you thought you knew, for a while, so you can learn even more.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You're ready to go, but you don't have enough money to do what you want. You could tap an older person for a loan or a donation, but that could take a while. Instead of getting frustrated, brainstorm with your group for more ideas.
You should do well working with a partner in a career-related matter. You may not get all the way, but don't give up. A breakthrough could come soon if you and this other person keep pushing. Don't ever take no for an answer.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Scorpio; Today is a 6.
Saqittarius: Today is a 5.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
You'll probably have to work and won't be able to travel. If you can set things up that way, you'll be more successful. Actually, if you can postpone traveling for a few days, do it. Take care of a problem that's in front of you instead.
Libra: Today is a 6.
You may feel like going into your savings account to buy a gift for somebody you love. If it's a toy, the person can do without it. Even if it's something this person really needs, you should wait. You may find a better deal soon.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
You're not doing what you'd like to be doing, but that's OK. You should be in a good mood. You're mastering new skills, and that will make a difference. Don't fret if you make mistakes.
You and your partner should talk things over. You don't have enough information to reach a good decision yet. Something that neither of you knows about could be out there. Gather more data before you decide. Better safe than sorry.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You may not come up with the answer you're seeking, but don't feel foolish. Sometimes the best thing is to delegate the chore to somebody with different skills. Reading will be relaxing and also could help you achieve the results you're after.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
If you're facing a big household expense, don't fret. If you continue with your studies, you'll be able to afford it soon. Besides, you could do some of the work and save your cash. You may have talents that haven't been tapped yet.
You may feel unsure of yourself. Instead of pushing, possibly in the wrong direction, move slowly. Watch and listen. Don't make a big deal of little mistakes, and don't try to move too quickly. Calm down and take your time. Better than never.

Jayplay's coverage means it's party time
Lawrence revolves around students. They frequent the bars, the theaters, the restaurants, the dance clubs. They are the core of the Lawrence community — if not by activity, then by sheer numbers.
But trying to decide what to do can be a challenge. Aside from posters on bulletin boards and chalk messages on sidewalks, it's extremely difficult to keep up with what's going on in Lawrence.
Come on. Posters and chalk are so primitive.
We're taking Lawrence nightlife and entertainment to another level. With Jayplay, you'll have a comprehensive schedule of where your favorite bands will be playing, what the latest production from the University Theatre will be and, generally, events that give you an excuse to get off the couch and enjoy the town we call home.
Each Thursday, students will be able to find a comprehensive calendar for the entertainment and arts events
happening here and news about them.

But Jayplay is still in the infant stage. That's where you, the reader, come in.
we need your help. In order for Jayplay to be the best it can, we require your feedback.

Too much time at bar pays off for plumber
After winning three $50,00 flush jackpots at the same be less than two weeks, the Reno plumbing contractor was wondering if lightning would strike again.
RENO, Nev. — Carl Overmier was back trying his luck at video poker last weekend — and for good reason. Winning three $50,000 royal

Oddities
freak luck," he said. "it's been quite a run, and I might as well keep it at."
Overmier hit all three jackpots at Bully's Sports Bar & Grill just south of Reno, where he was back gambling March 26. He had landed two on the same machine.
State gambling regulators said they couldn't recall anyone hitting three jackpots of at least $50,000 in such a short period of time.
Overmier said he played a total of $2,500 to win the three jackpots. He had to plunk down $50 at a time to have a chance for the big jackpot.
Producers quit smoking while making Insider
The association gave its top President's Award to Michael Mann and Eric Roth, producers of The
LOS ANGELES — The American Lung Association has coughed up its annual honors for the best and worst of on-screen smoking.
Insider, during the fifth annual Hackademy Awards March 23.
Both Mann and Roth quit smoking during the making of the film about tobacco industry whistle-blower Jeffrey Wigand, which also won the association's Thumbs Up! best movie award.
The Hackademy Award Thumps Up! and Thumbs Down! recipients were selected by 50 Sacramento and Los Angeles high school students who reviewed 1999's top 50 box office performers.
The Thumbs Down! dishonor went to the coming-of-age flick "She's All That" for its depiction of teenage smoking.
Transvestite robbery thwarted with Pepsi
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Two cross-dressing robbers got away with only a purse after a bank employee scared them by hitting one with a 12-pack of Pepsi.
The 44-year-old employee was entering a SunTrust bank March 23 before it opened when the men, wearing dresses and wigs, ran at her from some nearby bushes, she said.
So the 5-foot-1-inch woman smacked one of the suspects — who stood about 6-foot-4 — with the pack of soda cans, causing him to stumble. The second robber pushed her to the ground.
Another employee opened the door and tried to pull her to safety, but the second robber pointed a gun and entered the bank. He and his partner fled with the woman's purse, but not any of the bank's money.
Police must destroy confiscated porn tapes
LAKE CITY, Fla. — Sheriff's deputies here no longer have to watch thousands of hours of porn.
Officials had anticipated having to spend weeks viewing all 1,304 videotapes confiscated from the Adult Movie Video to determine if they were legally obscene.
Instead, according to an agreement between prosecutors and store owner James D. Cox, the tapes would be destroyed in exchange for Cox not being charged.
Columbia County sheriff deputies seized the tapes Feb. 25
after a citizen complaint.
Cox said Tuesday the
taples were nothing
more than cable-ver
movies.
"I still don't think I did anything wrong," Cox said.
Cox said he agreed to the
settlement because he is 68, works full time and cannot afford a long legal battle. He added that he was concerned about the possibility of jail time if he was convicted.
Walking in llama dung smelled like a victory
- MONTPELIER, Vt. — For Kyle Martin, it was the ilama dung that clinched it.
The 8-year-old from Montpelier won the annual rotten sneaker contest March 21, out-smelling finalists from New York, New Mexico and 30 contests from Vermont.
"I went to a lot of farms," he said, explaining how his sneakers got to be so foul. "My grandmother lives on a illiam farm."
The 25th annual contest sponsored by Oor-Eaters has become a March tradition at the Montpelier City Hall, drawing kids from far away as Italy.
For the prized shoes, Martin won a $750 savings bond, a trip to New York City and a supply of Odor-Eaters.
Sleepy judge dozes off in middle of testimony
LINCOLN, Neb. — A judge has found himself guilty of sleeping during court proceedings and has declared a mistrial.
"I'm so sorry about it and embarrassed about it," Lancaster County District Court Judge Donald Endacott said March 21.
Endacott, 66, said he had been having stomach problems and was not sleeping well during the time period of the trial, a theft case against Barbara A. Selwyn.
Endacott may need to get more rest — he is scheduled to hear the retrial.
