Also, evaluate the financial ramifications. If you stay where you are, you might be heading toward a pay raise. If you are single, learn to identify with others. Understand where others are coming from. This sensitivity draws others. If you are attached, your in-laws play a significant role; otherwise, travel might. TAURUS can be pushy. Learn to say no.

John Mellencamp, Miles Davis among new Hall of Fame nominees
NEWYORK - Heartland rocker John Mellencamp is among the nominees for a new class of inductees at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joined by jazz legend Miles Davis, rap pioneers Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and Blondie.
Mellencamp quickly ditched the cheesy nickname Johnny Cougar and banged out a series of rock hits in the 1980s, including "Pink Houses," "Jack & Diane" and "R.O.C.K. in the USA."
Grandmaster Flash, whose "The Message" and "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" were among rap's early hits, will test whether the rock hall is willing to open its doors to one of today's top styles of music.
The late Davis was one of jazz's most iconoclastic musicians. Blondie, led by pinup model Debbie Harry, fused pop with the aggression of punk and mixed in rap and disco.
Cat Stevens, who had folk hits in the 1970s before converting to Islam and largely retiring from music, was also nominated, along with punk rock pioneers The Patti Smith Group, the Sex Pistols and the Stooges.
"Free Bird" singers Lynyrd Skynyrd, heavy metal band Black Sabbath, the '60s beat group Dave Clark Five, Boston-area blues-rockers J. Geils舞, dance masters Chic and Texans Joe Tex, and the Sir Douglas Quintet were also on the ballot.
Musicians, industry professionals and journalists vote, and results of the 21st annual election will likely be announced in December.
Artists are eligible to be inducted into the Rock Hall after at least 25 years have passed since their first record was released.
Billy Joel establishes endowment for Syracuse University musicians
Syracuse's Setner School of Music in the College of Visual and Performing Arts was one of seven East Coast schools chosen by Joel to receive seed money, musical scholarships and endowments as part of his recently launched music education initiative, said Carole Brrozowski, the college's dean.
Syracuse will use the money to establish four Billy Joel Fellowships in Composition and hopes to enroll the first two students next fall, Brzozowski said.
The money will cover full tuition for the two year master's program, provide some support money for each student and, at the end of their studies, possibly help pay for either a high-level album with their music or a concert of their work in a prominent place, Brzozowski said.
"Because of Mr. Joel's strong commitment to the arts and arts education, we will be able to give student composers even more opportunities to grow as artists and make an impact on the world," she said.
Joel also made grants to the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, New York University, The Juilliard School, State University of New York at Purchase, New England Conservatory, and Tanglewood Music Center, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Academy for Advanced Musical Study. Each institution will use the money for different needs.
Joel, a longtime advocate for music education, has held master's classes on college campuses across the country and around the world for more than 20 years.
