HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 14). Getting the home you want may not be easy, but it's not impossible either. A lucky break could be in your favor. Plan in September so you'll be at the right place at the right time in October. An older person pushes you to take action in December, but it's for your own good. Work at a job you know by heart in February, and qualify for more than you thought possible in April. A career move could increase your income around June. Friends let you know you're in the right place in July. Fine tune the details in August.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
You still have too much on your plate, but your energy level's improving. Now it looks like a challenge, instead of a horrible burden. Your sense of humor must be coming back, too, and not a moment too soon!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 5.
You may be in the mood for love, but there isn't time. You've got the work you planed, plus somebody else's emergency. You'll find a way to satisfy everyone, but it could take longer than you'd hoped. Do the best you can with what you have.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8.
You can accomplish just about anything if you play with the right team. You provide the planning and the motivation, and they'll provide the energy and a variety of skills. If you don't have a team, maybe you could hire one.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 5.
Cancer (June 22- July 22) Today is a 5 . You could do well financially in the next few days by trying something different. This may not be easy since it means confronting something or somebody who's scary. It could be worth the bother, however. Be nice but firm.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Your odds of success are better today, especially in love. You may finally make a connection you've been after for ages. Also make time for a little excursion. A jaint with somebody you love would do you both a world of good.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 4.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 6 .
Virgin Aug. 29-31, 2014
Just when you thought things would lighten up,
you get a four! Well, it's because of financial diffi-
culties. Don't panic. You will get past this tense
phase; this weekend looks better. Plan something
nice — and inexpensive — for then.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 6 .
If you're attracted to the passionate type, you could be in for a wild ride. If hanging over the edge makes you nervous, watch out. You may want to take your vehicle so you can get home on your own. Sometimes beauty isn't enough. Use your brains, too.
Your energy level's gone up, but it's more like nervous energy than the silent power you prefer. Actually, you may even have a bit of a buzz. Use it to get tons of work done. Ignore an opportunity to get jealous. It is not worth the bother.
sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7.
Your luck in love just improved considerably. A venture you attempted before could work this time.
Don't do it while the supervisor's watching, however.
You could lose more than you'd gain.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 5. Although you'd like to try something new, you may be stuck in a rut. Some sort of household chore could keep you from doing something that would be fun. This weekend will be better for romance and travel anyway.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8.
You're well-known for being an intellectual, but sometimes you spend so much time thinking about what might happen, you don't get started. Well, today's not going to be like that. Today, it's full speed ahead!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 5.
If you choose words wisely, you could make a big sale, or you might get that raise or bonus you've been after. The other person wants to be sure they're getting the best for their money. Let them know they are.
ABC Daytime has chosen the University of Kansas to be one of the 30 college campuses for "College Campus Parties." The party, sponsored by ABC, will be from 9 to midnight tonight at the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St.
ABC to sponsor party to attract young viewers
Entertainment briefs
"Our studies show that if you don't watch by the age of 15 to 24, you probably never will," said Marianne Fleischman, ABC representative. "College kids are a key age group, so a great extent of our marketing is directed at them."

The parties are part of a marketing campaign to attract younger viewers.
Free food and non-alcoholic beverages, ABC giveaways and an "Are You a Hottie?" contest will be part of the party.

Fleschman said the contest would consist of ABC selecting 12 women and 12 men who would be given a "Hottie" T-shirt.

Drinks of the Week
By Katie Hollar
Saturday's the first home football game! Break out that Coleman cooler and wash down the barbecue with some tailgate-worthy drinks.
Support the home team and drink a local beer. Boulevard Brewery's Unfiltered Wheat is a great one to try.
For a macho cocktail, pour a shot or two of Captain Morgan's rum or Jack Daniels wine into a tall glass of Coke.
Remember, there's no alcohol allowed inside the stadium, so once you're inside, cool off with a delicious Arctic Lemonade from the vendors.

Store clerk foiled by transparent plot
SHAWNEE — The night clerk at a Shawnee convenience store had a simple plan to steal some money. Police said he blocked the store's two security cameras by putting tape over their lenses, stashed the money in a trash bin and called officers to report an armed robbery.
One problem — the tape he used on the cameras was transparent.
"It's one of those things where (the videotape) looks a little fuzzy, but I don't see any robbery in there," said Shawnee Police Lt. Mitch Brim.
The 19-year-old clerk at the Texaco Starmart told police early Thursday that a man had called the store and ordered him to tape the camera lenses. Then the man supposedly walked in, pointed a pistol at the clerk and demanded money. Within hours, police were writing a report describing how the clerk had staged the crime himself. They released the clerk and planned to send a report to the district attorney's office.

LYNCHBURG, Va. — The Lynchburg School Board has ordered high school officials to tear out a page containing a drawing of female genitalia of every copy of an anatomy textbook.
June Thompson, an editor for publisher W.B. Saunders, said that Lynchburg was the only locality to her knowledge that had objected to the book.
Harry Smith was the lone board member who voted against censoring the book.
"I'd rather have this information conveyed to them in an academic setting with qualified teachers than learn it from little Johnny next door or from Huster magazine," he said.

Woman chickens out of taking bag of cash
INDIANAPOLIS — Debbie Rich reached into a sack for the chicken sandwich she'd just picked up from a fast food restaurant — and pulled out $2,000 in cash instead.
On Wednesday, Rich stopped at a KFC drive-thru. The teller accidentally handed her a bag filled with money that an employee was going to pick up and deposit in the bank. It was not known whether anyone tried to deposit the chicken sandwich.

County Detective Scott Scheid said putting the money in regular KFC bags was intended to let the restaurant transfer funds without attracting attention.
The detective escorted Rich back to the restaurant, where she returned the money - and received her breaded filet.
Rich used her cell phone to call 911 and report the mistake. Soon, Scheid arrived at her car.

school dress code included a ban on the skimpy underwear.
But school officials denied the code banned thongs. Principal Joseph Pawlick issued a statement saying the thong issue was a rumor and added that no one has been suspended this year for violating the dress code.
Assistant Principal Jenny Hirst also said thongs were not specifically forbidden, although they might be inappropriate if worn, for example, with a white or tight-fitting skirt. The dress code prohibits clothing that "disrupts the effective functioning of the school."
Student puts staff in hairy situation
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. — A student faces charges and possible expulsion after presenting high school administrators with a cake full of a secret ingredient human hair.
The Chippewa Falls High School office staff thought 18-year-old John E. Smith Jr. was being sweet when he brought in a sheet cake Monday, saying it was his birthday
But about half a dozen staff members sank their teeth into the cake and came up with a mouthful of hair.
Smith was arrested for disorderly conduct. He was released on bond with the condition that he not set foot within 1,000 feet of the high school or middle school unless authorized by administrators.
