HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 3).
You and your sweetheart can work together to achieve the life of your dreams. Make your plans in May. In June, others say it can't be done. Ignore them. Money runs short around August and September. Work and save from October through December. Then celebrate in January and step up a level in February. Make time for a secret love in April.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
A friend's suggestion didn't work, but a coworker's idea might. The concept is simple. Make more, spend less. Great wealth may not be your goal, but it's a nice byproduct. Don't take a trip out of town. Find happiness closer to home.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
Pay attention today. You will get pretty far on your charms alone, but being smart helps. Don't let a potential reversal of fortune take you by surprise.
Let someone else's loss be your gain, not the other way around.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) --- Today is 6 o'clock.
Check through your plans one more time just to make sure you didn't miss anything. No need to hurry. You would actually be wiser to stall.
Something that somebody else wants done right now may not have to be done at all.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Your friends can help prevent you from over-spending, so listen to their advice. You may have been doing a job the hard way. They aren't right about everything. Use your own good judgment.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
The tough part is just about over. Don't make a date for dinner, though. Tomorrow night is better, and Saturday is fine. Push hard and finish the job, and you will rest easy tonight.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
Virgo (Aug. 29-September 22)
Things are going pretty well, but you're still not satisfied. There's something not quite right, and it's starting to really bug you. You know what it is, so do something about it. Get the supplies you will need on the way home from work tonight.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
Sure, you have a few little things on your mind, a few puffy clouds in your clear blue sky. One of them looks kind of gray and menacing, but don't stress. Just do the homework.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
A recent windfall might not go as far as expected. Paying back an old friend could exhaust most of it. Should you tell a little white lie and keep more for yourself? Nope. Keep it clean.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Ever get the feeling you're not being understood?
It's frustrating, but it's usually not fatal. Try again,
but this time pretend you're the other person, the
one who's just not getting it. This may be confusing,
but that's the point. Keep practicing.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
You are so cute. Smile, and whatever you want is yours. Well, almost. Playing this game will make this day a lot more interesting, more profitable and more fun.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You know somebody loves you, and that's a big help. Focus on that if other plans don't go as well as you had hoped. Another friend might let you down. Costs are also higher than you thought. Try again tomorrow.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You've got most of your plan in place. There are just a few details that need work. If you're baffled about how to proceed, relax. All you need is some body who's good at the math. Swallow your pride and ask.

Ron Levy is no newcomer to the blues and jazz scene. A veteran of more than 30 years in the industry, the Massachusetts-born Levy first got his start in the early 1960s, playing backup to B.B. King, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker and Bo Diddley.
From there, Levy established his own record label, produced countless acts and played everywhere from jazz festivals to TV soundtracks. Now, to commemorate his return to full-time touring, Levy has released a
Dosage, nor does he have the Foo Fighters' spunk. What MacNichol has is an excellent start, and if he keeps moving forward, his future is bright. Inoffensive enough to be background music, yet energetic enough to dance to, Jeep is well worth a listen.
Levy has produced something to whit his fans' appetites. This CD, intended to generate interest in his tour, shows the full range of Levy's considerable talents.

promotional disk that is certain to make any blues or jazz fan want to head to his next show.
Levy shows all talents with mix of styles
A volatile mix of soul, jazz, blues, funk and the occasional pinch of hip-hop. Jazz-a-licious Grooves offers the listener a concoction that may not always go down smoothly because of its hit-or-miss nature. Levy, who produced and arranged all of the music, seems to have so much varied knowledge and experience at his disposal he sometimes tries to use it all at once. On the same CD, Levy can sound like a soul legend, as in "Sons of Abraham," or like a run-of-the-mill bar band, as in "What D'Freak."

"Messiah-God" loses lawsuit against prison
10. Mogwal Rock Action (Matador)
BAY CITY, Mich. — An inmate who sued the prison system because he wasn't being treated like God has lost his court claim.
Chad Gabriel DeKoven, a convicted armed robber who calls himself "Messiah-God," filed a lawsuit seeking full-time personal attendants, thousands of trees and animals and tons of precious metals.
He also demanded a full pardon, public acknowledgment that he is the king of the Jews, peace in the Middle East, and return of all U.S. military personnel to the United States within 90 days.

Roland Flanagan said he was flab-bergasted: "This is America, isn't it? We ought to be able to put up a flagpole and fly an American flag."

MORTON, III. — Roland and Bev Flanagan's attempt to put up a flag pole didn't fly with the homeowners association.
Beloved smiley face receives a new home
Barn owner Patti Leavitt drew the ire of neighbors when she announced plans to remove the smiley face from her big yellow barn. About 600 people signed a petition demanding it stay.
DELAFIELD, Wis. — The smiley face that has decorated a converted barn on interstate 94 for more than 25 years will be relocated.
On Tuesday, Leavitt said she had agreed to have the face moved to another yellow barn — the home of the Elegant Farmer, a fruit farm and bakery.

Two men steal hearse from woman's funeral
READING, Pa. — Two men stole a hearse loaded with flowers at a funeral just before a woman's casket was to be placed inside, police said.
The pallbearers were getting ready to carry out the casket of a 71-year-old woman at Christ Lutheran Church Saturday when the thieves jumped in and drove off, police said.
"It surprised and shocked everyone," said Bruce G. Osterhout, a Christ Lutheran pastor.
Funeral director Terrence Shannon said the keys were not in the car. Another vehicle was brought in to take the casket to a cemetery.
