HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
Some things are still out of reach.
Focus on completing as much of the mundane work as possible now so that you can concentrate on more difficult tasks later.
Elbow grease pays off.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Stick with trusted routines, and do what you know works. Handle basics: chop wood and carry water. Postpone romance for now, and focus on productivity. Don't go out shopping either. Minimize risks, and build infrastructure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is a 7
An obstacle may get in the way.
Use your creative powers to turn a detour into a new opportunity. You're being tested on your patience, anyway. It's not about the score.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is a 6
A female introduces new ideas. Peaceful interludes juvenate and ripple out. Being gentle increases your self-esteem, and more gets accomplished through flexibility than through pressure. Long-distance deals bring surprising results, even after slight delays. Gambling is unwise.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 7
Don't be afraid to ask for help, even if you feel like you don't need anybody. There's plenty to learn and improve upon, and it's better together. It's more fun, and you're done earlier. Spending isn't required.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
today is a 7
Figure out a solution to a conflict of interests. Do it carefully so you won't have to do it over. New opportunities come from your willingness to contribute and help others. It's also satisfying.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
New breakdowns could arise from previous ones. This is what it looks like when you're really playing. Continue with your productivity streak, and do what there is to do. Address root causes.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7
Perceive the underlying harmony. You'll discover something that you didn't notice before regarding your time management this week. Being self-sufficient helps. Keeping close contact with your calendar
and structures is vital.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a S
Take care of your relationships,
and don't lose your temper. You
don't want to burn any bridges
that you may want to cross later.
Meditation helps, as does comedy
Add a sense of humor.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
today is 4
Avoid a serious argument; it's not worth it right now. You have more interesting things to worry about. Focus on your personal progress, especially around career. Don't stir up jealousies.
Acknowledge others for their contributions.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 7
Answer the call of the wild;
you're ready for anything. Work out the glitches in a relationship.
Listen to all points of view. Self-esteem increases as you iron out the wrinkles. Unexpected results are available.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 6.
Avoid impetuous actions. The budget is tight and will require some creative thinking. Step back to recall what worked before, and put that information to good use. Get feedback and participation from others.

REVIEW
excess HOLLYWOOD review
--previously had no idea existed – moves into the house with them carrying dark secrets, a threatening yet alluring interest in her mother and India, and dangerous, twisted intentions.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stoker is a British-American movie starming Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Dermot Mulroney that preimered at Sundance in Jan. and released in all the theatres on March 1, Wentworth Miller was the writer.
'Stoker' brings great cast to a predictable script
The macabre story of "Stoker" - concerning a young woman whose creepy, murderous uncle causes trouble when he moves in with her and her widowed mother - makes for a sensational tale of violent family dysfunction, but it's actually the weakest aspect of the film.
The script, by "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller, takes inspiration from the Hitchcock classic "Shadow of a Doubt." It's able to keep interest and a sense of perversity bubbling throughout, but it progresses slowly and predictably.
Thanks to director Park Chanwook and stars Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode and Nicole Kidman, however, it's a brooding, finely crafted and chillingly performed experience, where a distinct style rightfully trumps the lacking substance. This creates a greater appreciation for the nuance and technical prowess as they rise to the forefront and the plot takes a backseat.
There are some occasional great ideas and moments in the story though, which begins on the 18th birthday of India (Wasikowska), whose father (Dermot Mulroney) mysteriously dies in a car accident the same day. Having no other friends besides him, India coldly shuts off to the rest of the world, while her mother (Kidman) seems relieved about the loss. Then her uncle Charlie (Goode) - who she
Known for his vengeance trilogy (which includes the ultimate South Korean revenge thriller "Oldboy") and the boldly unique vampire flick "Thirst," Chan-wook brings his wicked, attention-grabbing sensibilities to "Stoker," and man does he make an impression. A crackling sound design creates a higher awareness, evocative visuals provide subtle eye candy and restrained suspense unravels slowly to effectively unsettle viewers.
Some highlights include a memorable transition of long hair seamlessly becoming a field in the wind, a piano duet that has the intensity of a steamy sex scene and a gruesome killing which shocks not only from the act itself but from a character's disturbing reaction afterwards. Unfortunately though, the movie's trailer revealed so much that the potency
of a number of tense scenes is lessened, and several encounters with high school bullies are so cliché they're comical. But the first and last scenes of the film surprise and work magnificently well.
All three leads deliver superb performances as they inhabit their characters with both masked emotional facades and biting menace. Wasikowska proved her dramatic hein in "Jane Eyre," and here she once again says far more with her expressive face than with words, particularly a fascinated curiosity, and gives India's character arc a slick sting.
Kidman oozes an insincerity for and burning envy of India while emitting a sultry, sexual connection to Goode. An underrated character actor of great skill and powerful persuasion, Goode balances a cool confidence and charisma with a psychologically sinister undercurrent.
"Stoker" is a bit of a disappointment considering how much it gets right, but the integral element of the story underwhelms. If you can accept the fact that the plotting feels too familiar, this work by a visionary director is a rousing exercise in stylistic, sensory command.

New group encourages fitness for University faculty, staff
ELLY GRIMM

A new group is encouraging University staff to incorporate wellness and fitness into the workday.
That group is called Walk Talk Jayhawk. Roughly 35 people attended the group's kickoff walk on March 12.
"Our motivation is to start with something that's fairly easy to accomplish—walking—and make it more fun by getting groups together to do it," said Claudia Bode, education director for the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis. "Importantly, we want staff to know that they don't have to do it alone. We're also hoping to build camaraderie and networking across units."
Bode said that the group currently has between 40 and 50 participants at the Lawrence

campus and between 10 and 20 at the Edwards campus. The group plans to meet every Tuesday at noon until May 7 at various locations on both campuses. The last walk will be on May 14 starting at the Kansas Union
ballroom.
One of the participants, Nancy Crisp, events coordinator at the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis, looks forward to helping expand the group and mingle with other departments through its run.
"A few of us already walk to."
gether so I like that we can bring in other people and possibly expand the group" she said.
Bode also added that right now the group only has unclassified staff and support staff in its membership, but it will soon be open to everyone, including students. Rhonda Partridge, the business manager at the CEBC, also talked about how walking with the other members of the group influenced her goals.
"If others are walking, it is an incentive for me to walk also," Partridge said. "Walking at lunch helps me not feel guilty about taking time for exercise in the evening."
