HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 5). You and a roommate may quarrel this year, but the overall outcome is good. Make your opinion known in October. Listen and learn with love in November. Things may not be as you thought in December. Difficulties at home could motivate you to travel in January. By February you should feel well-connected. A foreigner can forward your progress in June, but a moody woman could slow you down in July. Follow a hunch to gain the information you seek in September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Everybody has an opinion about how you should run your life. A little of that goes a long way.
Instead of telling them to shove it, be gracious. It'll be more fun. Besides, you're much better-looking when you're smiling.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Going out seems like a good idea, but it's not. If chores could interfere with an excursion, let them. You'll do better closer to home. You'll make or save money, too. Let your fingers do the walking. Do business over the phone.
Germany (May 21 to June 21)
Something you and a sweetheart are planning needs work. The way it's set up now is too expensive. Go over your budget with a critical eye.
Discover this error before you spend the money, rather than later.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Something isn't going well for your mate or partner. Or perhaps a household project of yours has gone awry. Provide comfort and nurturing food.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
Your latest scheme may not work as well as you hoped. Try it on a small scale before you take it public. Romance will go best if you let your sweet-heart take the lead. Listen carefully, and you'll hear what isn't being said.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Does a loved one want something special? Are you tempted to splurge and get it? Do you have a steady income? If not, go for the good job first.
After you get it, you can buy the toy. It'll be part of your celebration.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
scarpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Better double-check the latest gossip before you pass it on. You wouldn't want to look foolish because of somebody else's error. On the other hand, if you're the one who sets things straight, you'll look pretty good.
**Libra** (29 Oct 21) - Today 19:53
You and a roommate might clash. You can go for a complete victory, but it'll cost you. Work out a compromise instead. Give in on a point you don't care much about, and you'll win more than you lose.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 4.
Something that looks like a good deal may be the opposite. Read the fine print before you sign anything. It won't hurt to wait a little, either. Your chances of success improve the more you learn.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
You and your friends know you're right, but take care. Don't bet more than you want to lose to prove it. An older person may be wrong, but if he or she outranks you, be diplomatic. Keep talking and listening.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6. Hold off on travel for a day or so; you'll avoid some hassles. Finish old business before you launch into anything new. Think about something a quiet woman said, and you'll be prepared for a confrontation.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8.
You're a generous person, and your contributions are appreciated. Don't overdo it, though.
Don't offer your savings account to a good cause unless you'll get a good return. You need to look out for yourself, too.
It's almost winter, and that means you have a great opportunity to shape up for next summer. During the next few weeks, this column will be focused on providing dieting hints and workout tips that can help you out.

Education key to healthy diet, exercise
Column
First, dieting can be dangerous and must be approached like anything else concerning your body — with education and devotion. The word "dieting" doesn't mean "stop eating" in some foreign language — that method robs you of all the great vitamins and nutrients that keep you healthy and looking great. That is
Try to eat five smaller meals a day instead of three to keep your metabolism at an even rate, which helps burn calories constantly throughout the day. It takes about six hours to burn carbs, but try not to eat any right before you go to bed or they may settle in the night. Cut back on the amount of soda you drink; too, it really adds up. One 12 ounce can per day equals one pound to burn in two weeks.

Get to know what to eat and when to eat depending on your lifestyle. For instance, if you are more active, you will probably need more carbohydrates (such as breads and pastas) for energy than someone who isn't as active.

Always stretch before and after workouts to prevent injury, and learn to lift properly to avoid back injuries. Your back is the worst muscle group to pull because it can take years to recover from a back-muscle injury.
Finally, try cardiovascular exercises at the end of the workout instead of the beginning. It is important to get blood flowing to warm up, but avoid intense running or exercise before lifting — it will cause muscle fatigue, making it more difficult to finish your workout.

Bar's alien apparel probes punishment
RANGELY, Colo. — Even love among
aliens is a touchy subject for this town
site.
When Mark Archuleta printed T-shirts depicting extraterrestrial sex to promote his bar, a waitress told a police officer it seemed like harassment.
The town council got wind of it and banned the propaganda, saying the use of pornographic images is against state liquor laws. The authorities functions of simulat or real sexual acts.
Since then, Archuleta, owner of Where It's At, has dumped the six dozen tops and offered to shut the bar for five days, a week or just first offense or serving liquor to minors.
The council rejected the offer 4.2, setting a hearing for today

Man receives $95,000 in whiskey lawsuit
DUBLIN, Texas — A former city manager will receive $95,000 in a settlement of a lawsuit he filed in 1997 after he was arrested for keeping an unopened souvenir bag.
Winder will receive $85,000 from the city and former Police Chief David Johnson, and $10,000 from Malone in the settlement approved by the city council.
The charge was related to a bottle of unopened whisky Winder said he kept in his office as a personal memento. No city law specifically prohibited alcohol in the building,
Tom Winder sued after he was arrested in April 1997 and charged by former police officer C.E. Malone for possession of alcohol in a city building. Winder claimed at the time that he had been drinking with his sons he had made. He was fired in July after threatening to sue because of the arrest.
Winder said he had the bottle on his shelf for 30 years. His father bought him the bottle, and they were going to drink it when Winder graduated from Texas A&M.
"My father died in the meantime, and I've had that bottle in every municipal building in which we've worked," Winder said. "The seal has never even been broken."
Tattoo age may rise, to dismay of teens
FARIWY HEIGHTS, III.  — The rage for body art is not being received well by some factions.
Under a proposed law that pits city leaders against local tattoo-shop owners and teen-agers, the city would raise the state's minimum age for tattooing from 18 to 21.
City Council members say the law is meant to ensure tattooing and piercing is sanitary and performed only by trained professionals. But shop owners say the law will force teens to have piercings done in an unsafe environment.
"If the people can't get it done in a clean, sterile, professional shop, they're going to go to somebody's basement," he says. "The artist at Screamin' dumbo tattoo parlor."
"At age 18, you're an adult, and you can decide what you want," said Rebecca Smith, who was at the Inkwell on Saturday to get her belly button pierced in celebration of her 18th birthday. "It's my right to choose what I can do to my body."
Shop owners say the majority of their
age groups are between the ages of
18 and 20 years old.
A draft of the ordinance now rests with the Fairview Heights police, who are revising the proposal. It will be reviewed by a panel of five members and then it will go before the full City Council.
Couple places ad for kidney donor
GREEN BAY, Wi. — Patrick Zelter wants a new kidney for his sister so bad that he wished to have it removed.
If someone comes forward to donate a kidney for his sister, Zeizer and his wife, Jill, promise to each donate a kidney to help save two other people. He placed the ad in newspaper under the simple heading "Kidney Wanted."
"The potential is huge." Zeizer said.
"This is such a giving world. I hope this world has enough."
His sister, Sue Johnson, needs a kidney transplant, but no one in her family is a
It normally takes 18 to 24 months to get a kidney through the United Network for Organ Sharing, the usual means of securing an organ from an unrelated donor. Zelizer is worried that his sister, whose kidneys failed last year, cannot wait that long.
Johnson, 50, was moved by her brother and sister-in-law's gesture.
"How do you respond?" she said. "I was sitting here crying and smiling at the same time. I always say there's a plan out there for me, and I just have to be patient."
Doogie Howser exists at Lovola University
CHICAGO — Like many kids, 9-year-old Sko Yan梦想 of becoming a doctor.
I have dreams of becoming a doctor.
What distinguishes him from other young sters is that he plans to be in medical school within five years.
She ensoled this fall as a full-time student at Loyola University, becoming the youngest president of the university.
After being discouraged by schools because of his age, She convinced Loyola officials that he was ready to handle college work. He hopes to graduate at age 12 and enter Loyola's medical school by 14. She had to fulfill all the university's
requirements for undergraduate admissions, including a high school diploma. He scored 1,500 of a possible 1,600 points on the Scholastic Antitude Test.
"He's got his extraordinary intelligence of a mind, and yet he's a young boy," said the Rev. John Pident, president of Loyola. "It's almost like there another world where children grow up in the same way but they are four times as intelligent, and he's from that world."
Sho, who also is a gift pianist, shrugs off the genius tag.
"I am not a genius," he said. "I am gift ed. Since I have this gift, I may be in some way accountable to God to use that gift wisely without wasting it."
