HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 1). Want a better job? Plenty of money? All this, and more, is possible. Start in March by studying. The money comes in April. If a change in attitude is required, make it. Use your experience in May to overcome confusion. In June, fix up your home with stuff you've been saving. True love is due in July, so watch for it. In August, more money is available without doing more work. Teach your mate in September, and forward your career in December. A promotion means you must learn more, but that's OK. Your insecurespurs你 to perfection.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Your financial situation could improve. It's not because you're working overtime; more likely, it's because you'll find something valuable hidden in your closets. That ought to keep you busy tonight.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Reason won't be enough to change your mind today, and with good reason. You're better off going with your gut feeling on a decision that has to be made, especially if your money's involved.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
An older person is trying to tell you something, and you ought to listen. Trouble is, it's body language that's being used, not words. It could have to do with an assignment you should have turned in by now. Just do it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
A friend is having a tough time, but this is good for you. Learn from another's mistake. For example, if the friend decides to tell off the boss; watch to see what happens instead of doing the same thing.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Your forward progress might seem blocked, but that's not really the case. A good partner can help you get through. Don't try to do it all by yourself — you would just be bashing your head against the wall.
virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Reaching out to touch someone might be more difficult than you thought. The problem is an overload — either congestion on the highway or too many users on the Internet. Be patient. It will eventually clear up.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 6.
You would like to live in the lap of luxury, but there is a little work involved. But the more work you do, the more money you'll have to spend.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8.
Your psychic powers should be working very well. This is good, because you don't have time for a conversation that's going nowhere. Instead, cast a spell to get your way. Use chocolate.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
You should be using brains instead of brawn to get the job done. That's what you're telling yourself, too. But how? It's a sure bet that you'll eventually think of something after being stuck in the muck for a while.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
Capitron (sept. 22- Jan. 19) — today is an 8.
True love waites if you can make time for it. You need to run errands, but don't spend all day on them. You deserve to have a little fun just like everyone else. But in your case, you sometimes have to fight for it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You may have dreams about the good you would like to do for society, but today your own private spaces need attention. The sanctum around you needs repair. If you have money to donate to anything, spend it on that.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You may have a hunch that your skills need updating, and you'll correct. Ask an expert for advice, and you'll become better at what you're doing. Don't despair. This is just another of those tricky learning experiences.
Love hurts, just move on
I've been dating a guy for two years. We've broken up a couple of times in the last few months because I got frustrated with his immaturity, but he always told me he loved me and wanted to
Dear Shell,

spend the rest of his life with me. He would apologize and swear he was going to change, so I put up with it, thinking I was in love. I knew he had gone out with a couple girls while we were broken up, but in the last few weeks it has come to my knowledge he has been seeing numerous girls while he was leading me to believe we were back together.

The last straw was when he met a good friend of mine from high
Your boyfriend obviously didn't have any of these qualities of love in mind when dating you. I'm sorry because that can be a very hard thing when you think this other person truly wants the best for you and really is just being selfish.
I know he treats me horribly and has done nothing but destroy my selfesteem while turning me into an untrusting and negative person, but I feel completely consumed with what he's done to me. I went as far as e-mailing a girl whose address he left sitting out to question her. I almost feel guilty, but I feel like I deserve to know what he's been doing, especially for the sake of my health. Am I out of line? Thanks, anonymous.
Unfortunately, he didn't love you, he lusted after you. A description of ideal love from the Bible says it is patient and kind, not envious or self-seeking.
teristics of love. If so, I don't think I'd get anyone writing for help in the relationship area.
You can try to find out exactly what he's done by asking him. Though it may be sweet revenge to find the other girls he's dated and tell them the truth (if they don't know it), I would advise you to get completely out of the situation. The other girls will eventually find out what he's like, and it is not your responsibility to inform all of them. Knowing what he did will probably cause you more pain.
Your "boyfriend" doesn't respect you one bit. For him to flirt and lie to your friend about your relationship proves he doesn't care if you get hurt in the process. It is understandable why you may be consumed with what he's done to you, but you can't live like this forever. I hope you've broken up with him. If he likes those other girls so much, let him date them. You deserve someone who has the decency to treat you with a little respect.
One can only imagine dating someone who had all those charac-
It sounds like it would take a miracle for him to change and you don't need to wait around for that. Love, Shell

Prison officials prevent fugitive from going to jail
SOMERVILLE, N.J. — Fugitive David Coote wanted to go to jail. The only thing stopping him was the tail staff.
Cote, 36, attempted to turn himself in at the Somerset County Jail Sunday but was allowed to leave after officials incorrectly told him there were no warrants for his arrest.
Authorities said Coote's name was run through databases tracking municipal information, but apparently was not checked in other databases containing state and national information.
"Everywhere the warrant should have been, it was," prosecutor Wayne Forrest told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Tuesday's editions.
Coote, who remained at large late Monday, told police he was "kind of happy" to be allowed to leave. He had decided to turn himself in after his case was featured in a local publication.
Coeit's warrant was issued Feb. 16, when he failed to show up for sentencing on aggravated assault and criminal mischief charges.
Staten Island to rid itself of disgusting landmark
NEW YORK — The city's smallest borough will have a special reason to celebrate independence on July 4 — freedom from trash.
The closing of the 3,000-acre, 20 story high Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island "has to be one the greatest occasions in the history of our borough," said Guy Molinari, the island's president.
The landfill, which grew to be three times the size of Central Park, opened in 1948 as a temporary site for the city's trash. But by 1987, Fresh Kills had not only become a fixture in Staten Island, it had become the city's only dump. At its peak, Fresh Kills was taking in 27,000 tons of trash daily.
Party plans are still in the works, but will likely include a huge billboard proclaiming the dump officially closed, parades, marching bands and fireworks.
After Staten Island sued the city in 1996 under the federal Clean Air Act, the mayor and governor announced the dump would close. In its place, the city has begun shipping trash out of state.
Woman donates eggs to barren best friend
EUGENE, Ore. — Heidi Clark already has two healthy children. So she was glad to help her best friend share in that joy.
Clark donated three of her eggs to her college pal, Jennifer Warren, who had endured six miscarriages in one year. The procedure turned out better than either woman had hoped when Warren gave birth to twins on Christmas Eve.
The women became best friends while attending the University of Oregon in the late 1980s. Clark's eggs were harvested May 2 and paired with sperm from Warren's husband.
On Dec. 24, Warren gave birth to Sidney Beth and Max Avery.
Clark hasn't yet had a chance to visit, but plans to as soon as she can. She said she'll be an important person in the children's lives, similar to a special aunt.
"I don't feel like they are my kids," she said. "I wouldn't have done it if I had felt that way. I have my own life. I have my own kids and they're No. 1."
MADISON, Wis. — If your child's diares soon smell a bit fishy, that could be because they are.
Scientist patents new diapers made from fish
Srinivasan Damodaran, a University of Wisconsin food scientist, has patented a process that turns ground-up fish into an absorbent, biodegradable gel that could be used in diapers.
Disposable diapers have a crystal or powder that absorbs 100 times its own weight in water. Damodaran claims his product absorbs 400 times its weight.
Also, the fish-based gel deteriorates in landfills within 28 days, while most diaper gels made from petroleum usually break down much more slowly.
Wisconsin would welcome the product if it is successful — the state has too many carp.
German immigrants brought carp to Wisconsin in the 1800s, and the fish quickly flourished. As the carp population increased, other species started to decline.
