Section A • Page 8 The University Daily Kansan Tuesday, September 12, 2000 HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (Sept. 12). Once you clear a few hurdles, you'll be on your way. Use what you're learning, plus what you already know, to attain your goals. You can see what you want, although it may look unachievable, in September. There's plenty of money in October, so hold onto as much as possible. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5. Something that you thought would work could flat. Errands could take three times longer than usual. Even traffic seems determined to thwart your plans. Relax. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 6. You're strong, and you have some good people on your side. A lot of temptations are out there, however. Keep your eye on your long-term goal, and keep your pockets buttoned. A deal that looks too good to be true is. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6. Changes are underway, and some are big. You probably have to explain what's going on, and that may not be easy. You're better at it than most people, though, so take heart. Travel is not a good idea. You may even have trouble making a long-distance connection. Packages in the mail could be delayed, too. Knowing that, why worry? Stay busy with a household project, and the time will go faster. A supposed done deal could fall apart. Money that you thought was in the bank may have been gobbled up by finance charges. Go over your notes and check your resources. If your mate or partner is absolutely nuts and if your boss is completely off base, guess what? You're right, but don't make a big deal of it. If you're nice instead, they'll all realize how much they need you. It's worth a try, any-way. Virao (Aua. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5. Libra (Sent. 23-Oct. 22) — Todav is a 6: A struggle's still going on between the way you want things to be and the way they are. You don't have to be inhibited by the way others think, but take gravity into effect. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. If you're having trouble reaching an agreement, an arbitrator could help. You and your adversary may be too emotionally involved to be objective. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5. There's enough controversy to make the day interesting. Although you're right in the middle of the action, you may want to keep a low profile. Let others do the talking, and you'll appear wise. That will be the truth, too, if you can do it. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5. Confusion reigns again. Even if you're the boss, you may find it difficult to keep track of changes. You may need a score card to tell the good guys from the bad, too. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6. The chances of misunderstandings or errors concerning money are high. Spending a little extra time now could be a valuable investment. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6. You'll find expressing your thoughts and feelings is easier. Don't let others intimidate you, especially if you don't agree. Your point of view is just as important.

Warner Music Group said it would offer about 100 songs from artists such as Barenaked Ladies and Manhattan Transfer at the November launch. It plans to expand eventually to 1,000 albums and singles from other major acts such as Madonna and Phil Collins. In the wake of the success of music-sharing software Napster, Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music have started selling a limited number of tracks as downloads this year. BMG and EMI, the other two of the "big five" record companies, have announced plans to sell music online. "There's a benefit of going last and learning from the evolving market," said Warner Music representative Will Tannous. Warner Music will not sell music directly from its Web site, but through online retailers. Wal-Mart said it would sell Warner Music tracks from its Web site next year. The tracks will be scrambled to prevent copying. The other record companies are using similar technologies but have been unable to unite on a single standard for copy protection. Listeners may have to download different kinds of software to play music from different labels. Warner Music's scrambling technology will come from Preview Systems Inc., while RealNetworks Inc. will provide the network of computers that will distribute the music. RealNetworks is the maker of the popular RealPlayer software for Internet music and video. Tannous said Warner Music tracks would be playable on other software as well. New York-based Time Warner has agreed to be acquired by America Online Inc., the world's largest Internet service provider, pending antitrust approval. DID YOU KNOW?
