WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2006 ENTERTAINMENT SUDOKU Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each layer contains exactly one digit. The concept of the Conceptus Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

Lucky for Piano. Rachel was smart." Max Kreutzner/KANSAN KID SPECTACLE Caleb Goellner/KANSAN LIZARD BOY PENGUINS ▼ HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19) **★★ Push might come to shove if you're not careful. Others don't understand why you are acting in such a manner. Why not worry less and enjoy more? Listen to your instincts, and you will come out ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ****** You have a lot to say, but others might need to adjust their thinking in order to get the sense of your words. You are able to help others manifest more of what they want. Learn to relate to others on the level they are at. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ***** Use the morning to forge ahead on an important project. By the afternoon, you could be entrenched in a financial decision. Get feedback from someone in the know. You might not have all the answers -- yet! CANCER (June 21-July 22) ***** You are personality-plus as the day becomes later. Try to read between the lines with an associate who could be difficult or contentious. You know what works. Do just that. Seek out new information. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **** Know when to be the observer and not the lead actor. Tap into your creativity for answers. Work closely with an associate, though let this person feel in control. Lie back. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ***** You might want to think before you leap. Though many ideas run past you this morning, in the afternoon, you naturally choose the right direction at the right time. Others suddenly become chatterboxes in the next few days. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ***** Do research in the morning, when facts seem to appear more easily. You need to do this in order to get a job done well. Think in terms of making a greater impact on others. You have what it takes. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ***** You might want to carefully think through a question. Your imagination starts to work overtime. You are able to detach and gain another perspective. You feel much better than you have recently. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *** Others run with the ball. You might attempt to encourage someone to try another approach. Expect to be frustrated, for now. In the afternoon, try a more individual approach; you will greet success! Doug Lann/KANSAN CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Clear out as much work as you can. You could be frustrated by a personal matter. Perhaps your convictions are off. Hold up a mirror and do some heavy thinking. Feedback comes your way. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5B AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ You might want to think about an engaging investment or financial risk. You also could jump knee-deep into a situation that you could shake your head at later. Think positively. Focus on work, if you can. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) **** You are coming from a point of stability. Think carefully about what you want and need. Verbalizing it is the first step. Your imagination works overtime. Plug some energy into work or your daily life.
