HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Todav is a 7
You should feel better about everything today. You're more creative, too. It'll be fun to come up with new ideas, especially if you've got new material to learn. Sometimes that can be a drudge, but today you should be able to go through it pretty quickly.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7
Is money one of the things you and your sweet-heart are squabbling about? Maybe you have different priorities. Talk it over, even if the conversation keeps you up past your bedtime. It's important to get these things settled as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, they tend to fester.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6
Things should look better now, and you should feel a lot more in control. You're really not, but you probably feel like you are. Take care, especially if you get into a debate. The other side has some fresh ammunition. Find out what it is, if you can, before you get too far on a limb.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) --- Today is a 6
Today, you may have to be a little bold at work and push for something you want, even if it means disrupting the normal schedule. If you do that, somebody's bound to complain, but it might be the only way to get what you want.
Leo (July 23-Aua. 22) — Todav is a 7
Something your friends want you to do would be lots of fun, but you've got a more important date already planned. Don't forget about a person who's kind of depending on you. If you do, you'll hate yourself later.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7
Three (Aug. 20, Sep. 23) is a 7 Things are getting stirred up, and you may be the one doing the stirring. It might seem like circumstances are beyond your control, but guess again. Your impatience with the way things are is really making all this happen.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Todav is a 7
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6
You may have to think quickly today, but that shouldn't be a problem. Besides your own razor-sharp wit, you've got help from a good friend. This person will come right out and tell you what you can't figure out on your own. So, things may go even better than expected.
Your focus is shifting. Instead of worrying about yourself, you're going to think more about your money. You want to make sure your money is safe, and it may take some shuffling around in order to do that. Conditions are pretty good for that right now, so study the situation.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 You should feel much fasterier soon. With Mars going into your sign, you'll have a boost of adrena line. You're generally an easygoing person, but for the next couple of weeks, you might get downright fiery. You'll want your opinion known and respected. It's probably about time.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18] — Today is a 7
Capeptown (22-11-17) — today is all about the pace is picking up, and you'll have to hustle to get everything done on time. There's a new sense of urgency and maybe a new job coming, which could complicate matters. No problem. Just shift into warp speed.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7
Love looks good for you today. A person you admire feels the same way about you. All is not rosy, however. You have a problem finding enough money to do everything you want. If you work on it together, you can solve the problem. That's good.
You LOVE solving problems!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Todav is a 6
Just when you were about to calm down, another variable pops up. An older person, some sort of authority figure, seems to have lost all patience with you. Well, it's not just you, actually. It's everything. Authority figures have those days, too. Tread gently and carry a big smile.

Adidas loses lawsuit about logos against NCAA
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Adidas America Inc. to keep the NCAA from limiting the size of commercial logos on uniforms.
U. S. District Judge Thomas Van Bebber in March denied the company's motion for a preliminary injunction, and in an order filed last
week dismissed the lawsuit, the NCAA said Tuesday.
The Portland, Ore., subsidiary of the European apparel and footwear company filed suit in November in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., saying the NCAA's bylaw limiting the size and number of logos on uniforms violated antitrust laws.
"This is an important decision for the NCAA and for intercollegiate athletics," NCAA president Cedric Dempsey said. "The judge agreed with us.
"Adidas has many other opportunities to get its message across to consumers other than on the backs of college players," Dempsey said.
Adidas was not pleased with the decision.
"We are disappointed in the ruling. We are going to ask the judge to reconsider it and if that is unsuccessful we will file an appeal," said Adidas representatives John Flood. "It
has been a very complicated lawsuit regarding trademarks and logos, and we feel the principle is worth pursuing."
The bylaw restricts member schools to selling space for only a single manufacturer's logo or mark on apparel and limits it to 2 1/4 square inches.
Adidas' logo consists of three parallel stripes down the arms and legs of apparel. The company said the distinctive mark cannot fit in the area set out by the NCAA rule.
But the court said Adidas, which advertises with NFL, NBA, WNBA and Major League Soccer and baseball teams, did not show it had been hurt by the NCAA rule.
