THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7
A leisurely day taken at a slow pace goes over nicely today. Handle the basics and devote more time than usual to long walks, sitting in silence and doing "nothing."
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Don't let a minor disagreement mess up your plans. If you break your word, clean it up. You'll feel better right away. Communication's key.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7
Don't spend your stash on momentary pleasures.
Postpone romance for a few days and clean house (avoid an argument). Make popcorn at home. Indulge selfish pursuits.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
Compromise may seem impossible. It could be a good time to ask an expert for help. Sometimes it's wise to not try to do it all yourself.
Resting can be good too.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6
Don't issue orders; barter instead. Travel's not advised. Things aren't as you thought. A productive morning handles routine home and work tasks. A quiet night rejuvenates.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is an 8
There could be romantic misunderstandings, or some kind of a barrier. Your money's not required. Don't get discouraged. Patience and a sense of humor get you farther.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7 Slow and steady does it. Practical considerations have your attention. You may need to get dirty. You may discover limitations. Imagine the finished product.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 9
Get the work done one step at a time. Take regular breaks to increase productivity. Avoid getting into a needless argument with a loved one.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
Today is a 5
On your way to king of the hill, be considerate. Your eagerness to succeed could create trouble. Avoid impulsiveness with money and love. Slow and steady does it
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5
Sometimes it's fine to hide away and be pensive. Today might be one of those days.
Be mindful of what you say now so that you don't have to recant later.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 16)
Today is a 7
Avoid being too demanding in your relationships. Pick your self up by your bootstraps, or find a friend to help you get back on the horse. It's easier this next time around.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
Choose love and community over fortune. They're worth more, especially today. Write down your thoughts to avoid forgetting the good stuff. Take it easy.

Yesterday's Cryptoquip: IF A WOMAN WRITES
PRODUCT ARTICLES FOR CONSUMER REPORTS,
YOU MIGHT SAY SHE'S A LADY IN RATING.
The concept of "social listening" is a modern day twist on the days when friends got together to take turns playing music for each other. A Saturday night's entertainment meant bringing a stack of albums
today's Cryptoquip Clue: U equals Y
"You can listen to the same song, at the exact same time." Alexandre Roche, a product designer at Facebook, wrote in a blog post last week announcing the new feature, "so when your favorite vocal part comes in you can experience it together, just like when you're jamming out at a performance or dance club"
But in a move that shows the pendulum is swinging back toward a more social listening experience, Facebook just rolled out a feature that allows users to listen to music online with their friends — and host virtual DJ parties.

FACEBOOK OFFERS 'SOCIAL LISTENING'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Everywhere you look, people are going about their lives to the tunes of their own personal soundtrack. They sweat through "YMCA" at the gym, pound out programming code to Rammstein's brutal beats and nurse broken hearts with a mournful Bach cello concerto.
In the last few decades, technology has transformed music from a social gathering experience to an intensely solitary one in which donning a pair of headphones in public is equivalent to shouting. "Leave me alone!"
and a six-pack to someone's house.
On Facebook, listeners can be miles away, engaged in different activities but still be sharing a narrow slice of life.
"Someone else can be going about whatever they are doing, and through music, you can just jump into that reality and experience what they're experiencing." Roche said in an interview. "If they're having a bad day, you can experience that with them. If they see that a friend is listening with them, it might even brighten their day."
The key is in simultaneous listening. It's a concept that until recently has run counter to the nature of the Internet and other modern conveniences that have allowed people to time-shift their lives as easily as pressing the pause button on TiVo. Birthday messages can be written months in advance and scheduled for delivery on the appointed date. An entire year's worth of "Entourage" can be vacuumed in one sitting.
For Facebook, the feature hints at the company's ambition to be the online entertainment hub of the future.

Robber threatens with staph infection
SHARON, Pa. — Police said a man tried to rob a western Pennsylvania gambling parlor by threatening to sored a staph infection.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 41-year-old Fred Parker, of Coolspring Township.
Sharon police Chief Mike Menster says Parker then threatened to infect the cashier if he didn't give Parker money. The chief tells The Herald newspaper of Sharon, "It's our first case of robbery by threat of an infectious disease."
Police said he walked into Lucky's Internet Cafe in Sharon on Monday night and began touching the walls and gambling machines, claiming he was MRSA — a serious staph infection that resists antibiotics.

FORMER MISS USA FACES DUI CHARGES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. — Former Miss USA Rima Fakih on Wednesday made an initial appearance in a Detroit-area courtroom in a drunken driving case that lawyers said could be resolved with a plea deal.
Judge Brigette Officer set a March 14 trial date, but lawyers on both sides said they planned to talk in an attempt to end the case sooner.
Fakih, 26, declined to answer reporters' questions after the hearing, which was held in the Detroit enclave of Highland Park.
"I apologize. My lawyer doesn't want me to talk."
"Of course she's remorseful," Culpepper said. "She's a model for young women. ... She's a woman of substantial character."
Defense lawyer W. Otis Culpepper said he will prepare for a trial, but knows a plea bargain is possible. He said he anticipates that a "proper conclusion" will be reached.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Before the hearing, assistant city attorney Mohammed A. Nasser told The Associated Press that he hadn't spoken to Culpepper about how they might resolve the case, and he told the judge a plea deal hadn't been offered.
Former Miss USA Rima Fakih appears with her attorney William Culpepper before Judge Brigette Officer during a hearing on a drunken drive charge at 30th District Court in Highland Park, Mich. Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012. The judge set a March 14 trial date, but lawyers on both sides said they planned to talk in an attempt to resolve the case sooner.
Police said Fakih was driving 60 mph and weaving in and out of traffic without signaling when they pulled her over Dec. 3. Officers reported finding an open bottle of champagne on the floor behind the driver's seat of her 2011 Jaguar.
Fakith denied that she had been drinking, but one breath test put her blood alcohol content to be 0.20 percent and another put it slightly lower, but still above the
state's legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Fakik was born in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. in 1993 with her family. After settling in New York, the family moved to Michigan in 2003. She won the Miss USA Pageant in May 2010,
and her reign ended last June. She was the first Miss Michigan to win the title since 1993 and the first Arab-American winner ever.
