HOROSCOPES
This week's birthday.
You are amazingly powerful this year. Don't let it go to your head. You're smart and lucky, hardworking and brave. The only thing that could trip you up would be your own ego. If you think you're doing this all by yourself, or start grabbing things all for yourself, you'll get your comeuppance. There's a built-in mechanism to keep you altruistic, as you'll no doubt discover.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You're so smart right now, you should be on TV. You could win enough in one of those game shows to retire. It helps if you've been doing your homework for years. But if you've been goofing off, now is the time to catch up. Apply yourself!
a hunch could pay off, but it's not really a gamble. More likely, you've been waiting for the right time. An older person, someone with whom you rarely agree, is pivotal. His recommendation cinches the deal, so be nice.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
You'll win the argument, no doubt about that. Can you do it in a way that's nurturing and supportive? No need to prove how strong or smart you are. That's obvious. Prove how gracious you can be in victory.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Do they expect you to do everything? Are your own inner ammeteries about to drive you nuts? You are your own worst crit, if that's any consolation. Nobody cares anywhere near as much as you do. They all have other stuff to think about. On the other hand, your conscientious attitude leads you to excellence. Onward and upward!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Libra (Sept.23-Oct 22)
You have a choice between near and far. Choose far.
Between little and big, choose big. Between ordinary and special, choose special. Between petty and universal significance . . . well? You should have the idea by now. Don't wait. At midnight, your coach turns into a pumpkin.
Again, mum's the word. Don't say anything; just show your teeth. That's not really a smile, but it's commonly mistaken for agreement. Or you could say "I got it!" just to prove you're listening. That doesn't really mean you agree, but it works.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You're not in the clear yet, but it won't be long. Just a few more leads to be followed up on, some loose ends to be tied. Tomorrow, the light at the end of the tunnel should be bright enough to read by. Take it one step at a time.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You could be undergoing an amazing transformation. You could be giving up some habits that never have worked in your favor. You could be growing slimmer, happier and a lot wiser. The first part is: Get the best coach. The second (and harder) part is: Never question the coach's judgment.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Some of your fears will have to be abandoned. You don't have time for them any more. Only keep the helpful ones, like the one that keeps you from touching hot things or jumping from high places. The ones about not being good enough? Flush those down the toilet. They're slowing you down.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
A private conversation could cause you to forget a public obligation. Better call those folks and let them know you're not going to be there. Their leader might get mad at you. Don't be any more irresponsible than absolutely necessary. Promise to finish the task tomorrow, and mean it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
No point in arguing now. Let the others have their way. Hide out in a safe place and wait for the dust to clear. This is as bad as it gets. Tomorrow will be better.

MUSIC
Binocular's new CD combines genres for sublime effect
By Maggie Newcomer Special to the Kansan
Binocular, a 25-year-old artist from New York City, recently released his self-titled debut album for Maverick Recording Company. Binocular did all of the vocals, instruments and programming for the album, as well as the producing and recording. He previously released purely rhythm tracks under different names until he blended his guitar, dance and rock mixes with his smooth vocals for a stunning and pleasing result.
The album consists of 12 songs. One single "Deep" has already begun radio play. The album's other featured single, "You," leads as the first track and immediately puts the listener in a good mood or changes a good mood into a better mood. With many artists today, each song seems to be a recreation of the last. This is definitely not the case with Binocular. Each song has its own unique sound and rhythm while remaining easy to listen to. Every time a
song ends and slowly fades out, the listener is pleasantly surrised by the song that follows.
Some of the album's highlights include the eighth track, "Fire Burns Bright," the best song on the album. It is upbeat and fun, the kind of song you can't help but sing along with on the radio. The chorus and instruments are the keys to this song. There's a single guitar in the chorus that stands out but still blends effortlessly into the song.
"Gone Away" focuses on Binocular's soft and emotion-filled voice with quiet strings and guitar in the background. It starts out slow and keeps a calming tempo throughout.
Binocular can be played all the way through without having to jump between tracks. This is the perfect CD to play on a long road trip or to relax to after a rough day.
Newcomer can be reached at 864-4810 or writer@kansan.com

Perfect Storm marred with imperfections
BRADENTON, Fla.—A lawsuit filed by the families of fishermen and others portrayed in last summer's movie The Perfect Storm can go to trial, a judge ruled.
Jodi Tyne, former wife of captain Frank William "Billy" Tyne Jr., and her two daughters sued Warner Bros. and the two companies that produced the film. The lawsuit — filed in U.S. District Court in Orlando in August — says the movie cast Billy Tyne in a negative light and was produced without the families' consent.
Time Warner Inc., then parent company of Warner Bros., asked a judge to dismiss the case, saying it had the right to make the movie.
Jerilynn M. Amrhein joined the lawsuit in October on behalf of her son, whose father, Dale "Murph" Murphy, was portrayed in the movie by John C. Reilly.
The lawsuit claims the movie falsely depicts Billy Tyne, played by George Clooney, as an "unprofessional, unseaworthy and incompetent" captain who suffers a "self-imposed death."
Judge Anne C. Conway denied the company's motion and cleared the way for a trial next June, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported in its Tuesday edition.
The film, based on the book by the same name by author Sebastian Junger, is an account of Billy Tyne's final swordfishing expedition in October 1991 into the heart of storms that converged in the North Atlantic.
Popular homemaker to reveal true self in book
NEW YORK — It's not as easy being Martha Stewart as it looks, the lifestyle guru divulges in her upcoming autobiography.
The book, tentatively titled "Martha: Really and Truly," is scheduled to come out in 2003, the publisher Clarkson Potter announced Monday.
In a statement, the 59-year-old Stewart said she will acknowledge her sacrifices, personal heartbreaks, "bumps in the road" and imperfections in a seemingly perfect world.
"To many onlookers, what I have accomplished may appear easy, but it was all done with hard work, old-fashioned elbow grease and a certain amount of emotional pain and suffering," Stewart said.
Muralists' creativity to be kept in California
LOS ANGELES — California has declared a cease-fire in the war for the walls.
Artists' complaints have prompted the California Department of Transportation to temporarily stop the white-washing of graffiti-covered freeway murals.
In the past six months, "taggers" have hit at least four giant wall paintings, some of them dating to the 1984 Olympics. Afterward, cleanup crews have partially or completely covered the walls.
A few years ago, graffiti artists had an "unwritten code" against spray-painting their names on artwork, said mural artist Frank Romero, who has done numerous public art projects throughout California.
"I've had murals up 20 years and they've never been hit," Romero said. "This is recent, in the last three to five years. It's a war."
