WEDNESDAYS WON'T BE THE SAME AGAIN.
HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today's Birthday:July 1
You may come up with a get-rich-quick scheme today. If so, sit on it a while longer. It may be a get-broke-quick scheme in disguise. The best way for you to profit is to cut spending. Find a way for your boss to do that, and you could get a raise.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Do not let another person's panic force you to go too fast this morning. You are better able to judge the seriousness of the situation. Put off any major decisions until later this afternoon. An older person's crazy scheme is doomed to failure. Leave it alone.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Your energy level is high today, but your judgment may not be very accurate. Definitely do not spend anybody else's money on a risky deal this morning. Nothing will come of it. You may have to postpone travel tonight because of a prior commitment.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The morning is a flurry of activity. If you can avoid getting too excited, you will make a better deal. Your best option is to wait until this afternoon after the dust has settled. Agreements made later have a better chance of producing the results intended.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You will be in the mood to get out and about this morning. If you are doing errands, save time and money by calling ahead. There is bound to be a mix-up at work today. Take care that it is not your fault. Review everything a couple of times before showing it to the boss.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You are smart, but today might still present a challenge. Do not let anybody push you faster than you want to go. Your reputation for perfection is at stake. You will be done with the worst of it by this afternoon. As a reward, go out with a friend this evening.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Get somebody else to take care of practical matters this morning. You will be in the mood to be creative. Take care not to break something, though. You could make quite a mess. Pay back a debt this evening before your friend has to ask you for it.
You may be confused by a task you are trying to learn this morning. Even worse, a competitor could use your temporary lapse of attention to get ahead. Do not worry. Delegate part of your workload to a partner this afternoon, and win back whatever you have lost.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A romantic interlude this morning could get you into trouble. Do not overspend or be late to work. You should see your sweetie early instead of later, though. You may not have as much time to play this afternoon or evening.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Do not try to argue with a hotheaded roommate this morning. Your prior mistake could be part of the problem. Things should cool down by this afternoon. Plan a special dinner that is within your budget. Cook a gourmet delight instead of going out.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb.18)
Contact a sibling who always cheers you up this morning. A different point of view could be just the stimulation you need to get going again. You may have to make a decision regarding your house or its contents this evening. Consider an unusual option.
Somebody else's mistake could put money in your pocket this morning. Be watching for a bargain in partly damaged merchandise. A sibling's plans may be thwarted this afternoon. Provide a shoulder to cry on. Do not buy your lottery ticket until late night.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Brown, who played in 1990-91 and broke the school record for most career three-point field goals, was arrested for battery April 1 at his residence in the 2400 block of Louisiana Street, Lawrence police records show.
Former University of Kansas mens' basketball standout Terry Brown will be tried for battery at 8:45 a.m. today in Douglas County District Court, 1100 Massachusetts St.
Brown was put on probation March 31 after pleading guilty to a January 1 battery charge, Douglas County District Court records show.
The alleged victim in the current case, a 22-year-old Lawrence woman, is the same woman Brown pleaded guilty to battering Jan. 1, police reports show.
Former basketball star to be tried for battery
Assistant District Attorney Rick Trapp said he could not discuss the case until the trial began.

University of Kansas basketball stars Paul Pierce and Raef LaFrentz both were expected to be picked in the top five of the 1998 NBA draft, but the results left Pierce with mixed feelings
LaFrentz picked second in draft; Pierce is No.10
Pierce had been seated for second pick in many mock drafts.
LaFrentz:
LaFrentz was picked after
Michael Olowakandi, first pick by the Los Angeles Clippers, and Mike
Bibby, a guard from the University of Arizona who was picked second by the Vancouver Grizzlies.
"I'm extremely excited to be drafted by the Denver Nuggets." LaFrentz said. "It will be great to stay in Biz 12 territory. I'm just
excited to be in the NBA and very happy to be taken by the Nuggets." Head coach Roy Williams also was pleased with LaFrentz's place in the draft.
Pierce:
"Denver is really where he wanted to go." Williams said.
"Dan isel appreciates the type of player Raef is. It's seldom that you get to choose where you want to go, but Raef basically got to do just that."
When the Los Angeles Clippers selected Olowakandi, Libby was ripe for picking by Vancouver, which may have planned to select Pierce. The Nuggets were set on LaFrentz, and Pierce had expressed to Toronto his desire not to play for them. Pierce also told Sacramento, which had the No.7 pick, and Milwaukee, which had the No.9 pick, not to pursue him. Golden State, Dallas and Philadelphia, picks five, six and eight respectively, had more pressing holes to fill, leaving Boston to select Pierce 10th.
"It was a little disappointing, but that's the way things go in the draft," Pierce said. "Boston is a great situation, they have great players. I think it's a playoff team that can really build.
The top 10 picks were Olowakandi;
Bibby, LaFrentz; Antawn Jamison,
Toronto; Vince Carter, Golden State;
Robert Traylor, Dallas; Jason
Williams, Sacramento; Larry
Hughes, Philadelphia; Dirk Nowitzki,
Milwaukee; and Pierce.
