Kidman visits Kosovo as U.N. goodwill ambassador
PRISTINA, Serbia — Nicole Kidman is playing a role that has nothing to do with movies, touring Kosovo as a United Nations goodwill ambassador to the tense province.
"I'm here ... to learn so that I can
help your country at this crucial, crucial time for the future," Kidiman said after arriving Saturday, "to meet people, hear their stories and educate myself, and I suppose be a voice for you if you need it."
The actress was named goodwill ambassador of the U.N. Development Fund for Women, or UNIFEM, in January and the tour of Kosovo is her first visit in that role.
Kidman's two-day visit comes at a sensitive time as ethnic Albanians and Serbs are negotiating the status of Kosovo. Ethnic Albanians want full independence for the province of 2 million, while Serbia insists Kosovo should remain under its sovereignty.

HOROSCOPE
You have a tendency to get way out on the leading edge. You don't have to be foolish about it, though. It takes discipline to be a survivor.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Todav is a 9
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 5
Even if you know the answer, don't tell unless you're asked. People who are not listening to each other won't listen to you, either.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Today is 0
One of your natural talents is a willingness to ask questions. That will be required now, as you sort the fact from the fiction.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Get your group to agree on a goal and stick to it, until it's done. Teach them to be loyal to one another, and to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
today is all
Let others do the talking now. You watch and look and listen. When you make your move, don't waste an ounce of energy.
You have something hanging around in your closets that you can put to use. Don't buy new, save your money. You'll need it very soon, for something else.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 5
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
You'll find out about trust and moderation. A little exaggeration could turn into a very big deal, so take care.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Keep most of your comments to yourself. The others don't need to know what you really think. Besides, you'll save a lot of time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7
Keep the others motivated. You can't do what they are doing directly, but you can make absolutely sure they do it. Welcome to management.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5
Caution is advised, but you already do that. Take charge of the situation, and find out as much as you can. You can use this situation to your advantage.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8
Don't try to vanquish a noble adversary all by yourself. Get a lot of people on your side, and then attack.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
Keep at a difficult job, even though you'd rather do anything else. Once this item is scratched off your list, you will finally relax.
