Students not turning out for flu shots BY DUSTIN HOFFMAN STAFF WRITER

Student turn out for flu shot clinics this year at West Virginia University has been underwhelming compared to years past, said Jan Palmer, director of Student Health. Approximately one fifth of the prepared doses have been administered, he said. Palmer credits the high number of people vaccinated last year to media attention given to the H1N1 or swine flu

virus, which is considered by world health organizations to be “dead and gone,” he said. “I think because there was so much talk about (influenza) last year and so little talk about it this year, people are not going out to get the vaccine,” he said. “There is no big media hype, but seasonal flu is expected to be here like every other year.” In addition to the media coverage last year, the vaccine was available free of charge due to the sweeping nature of

5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Also, the Student Recreation Center will host another clinic on Nov. 11 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The clinics are open to everyone, not just residents of Evansdale, Palmer added. Flu season is considered to be from November to March, the time when the disease is most prominent. The vaccine is designed to be administered in advance, greatly reducing the risk of the disease developing and spreading to those who come in contact

the swine flu epidemic. Flu shots are now $15, and are available to students, faculty and staff desiring immunization. The cost is the least expensive, compared to places such as drug stores, which offer an immunization for $25, he said. Because of the lack of students taking the opportunity for immunization, additional clinics have been added. From Nov. 8 to Nov. 10, three clinics will be held at the Towers dining hall from

with it. Influenza is spread through respiratory droplets, which are introduced into the environment through coughing and sneezing. The student population lends itself to the spread of influenza, as students are in close contact in living quarters, dining halls, classrooms and public transportation such as a cramped PRT, he said. Palmer said the infection sets in before symptoms fully

WVU recovered, ready for Huskies associate sports editor

Even a team-oriented player like J.T. Thomas needed time to himself. West Virginia had just lost to Syracuse 19-14 in the team’s first home loss since 2008 and its first loss to the Orange since 2001, and the senior’s hopes of finishing the Big East Conference slate undefeated were ruined. “I had to pick myself out of the dirt. I had to handle myself first,” Thomas said of recovering from the defeat. “That loss was rough.” It took a toll on the entire

team, the senior linebacker said. West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart even called it a “wake-up call.” Being ready to play won’t be a problem tonight, though, Thomas said, when the Mountaineers travel to Hartford, Conn., to take on the Huskies at 8 p.m., as the team understands it can’t afford to drop another conference game if it still wants to win the Big East Championship. “We have to focus on being perfect for the rest of the season,” Thomas said. “Syracuse showed us last week that you have to be ready every week. Every week is a playoff game.

You have to win all of them to get where you need to be. “We have to keep believing. We have to play big Friday night.” The leadership of Thomas and the 20 other seniors is even more important to the team now with five games remaining in the season. Senior nose guard Chris Neild said the best leadership doesn’t necessarily mean being vocal, but more so by consistently doing the right things even when nobody’s watching. If everyone carries themselves in such a manner, the rest of the season should be

a success. “If (a loss) happens again, it’s a lack of leadership,” Neild said. “If it were to happen again, someone’s going to have to check their hold as a leader, myself included.” The Mountaineers will especially rely on Neild tonight against Connecticut’s standout running back Jordan Todman, who enters the game fifth nationally in rushing yards-per-game with 140. The junior has rushed for at least 100 yards in nine of his last 10 games. Neither West Virginia or

WVU students can ‘Make a Difference’ Saturday BY SAMANTHA COSSICK ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR

West Virginia University students will be giving back to the community this Saturday during the annual Make a Difference Day. In its eighth year at WVU, Make a Difference Day is a national day of service sponsored by United Way and the WVU Center for Civic Engagement, said Brett White, special events coordinator for the CCE. “Service is a part of our

mission at WVU, and this is just another way we give an opportunity to students,” he said. So far, approximately 350 students have signed up to volunteer during Make a Difference Day, White said. This is an increase from last year and Make a Difference Day has steadily become WVU’s largest service event, he said. “It’s important for WVU students to get involved and give back to the community because a lot of the agencies

they are helping out do so much for the University,” said Adrienne DeMinico, youth volunteer connection worker at United Way. The Center for Civic Engagement has lined up 13 projects at various agencies for the students to take part in, White said. Some of those projects include cleaning, restocking and organizing at the Salvation Army, painting the basement at the Caritas House and moving furniture at Mountaineer Wellness, he said.

Other agencies students will volunteer for include Scott’s Run Settlement House, Brain Under Construction Zone, Sundale Nursing Home, the American Red Cross, Old Hemlock Foundation and Positive Spin organization. Helping these organizations is critical to the community, White said. “They wouldn’t be able to do these big projects without (the students),” he said. The students will volunteer

Homecoming candidates who have campaign violations filed against them will defend themselves Sunday during a Student Government Association Judicial Board hearing. The board will vote during the meeting to certify the election and review the money spent on campaigns. Monday was the deadline to file campaign violations and four of the 10 candidates each received a violation. However, two of the violations were dismissed by Thursday, said Tasha Frazie, Student Government Association elections chair. The candidates testifying Sunday face a possible overturning of elections results or a fine not exceeding $200, said James Bailey, Judicial Board chair. “We will go over each violation and go on what we see and hear from others, and we have to make a decision based on that,” Bailey said. At the meeting, the Board will look at campaign expenditures to determine if all 10 candidates stayed within the $750 budget. Each candidate was required to submit an itemized breakdown of purchases, such as T-shirts or food, but some candidates have not yet pro-

duced receipts, Frazie said. The Board will also vote to certify the election for Omar Wazir, Homecoming king who won by 400 votes, and Tracy Speilman, Homecoming queen who won by 319 votes. There were 2,508 votes cast for king and 2,586 votes for queen. One violation to be reviewed is an allegation that candidates Kyle Golombos and Dana Zelder used a University e-mail LISTSERV to campaign for votes. The violation was filed by Speilman and accuses them of “sending an e-mail out to approximately 900 (Health Sciences Center) students.” “I don’t think these violations were serious because it was an accident. If only the code was more clear-cut by saying no e-mails can be sent out,” Zelder said. “I just found out what a LISTSERV was the other day.” Zelder said she sent an email encouraging her friends to vote during the elections and it was then forwarded by a nursing professor. She and Golmbos did not intend to break the rules, she said. Golombos agreed by saying the e-mail was not campaigning because it did not say who to vote for. “It was just a reminder

Family planning program to offer HIV testing for women by jessica leppar staff writer

West Virginia University students, especially women, are encouraged to understand the importance of routine testing for human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. In an effort to stop the spread of HIV, women who go to the WVU Student Health Center for their annual gynecology exam can also receive sexually transmitted infection, STI and HIV testing through the family planning program, said Sue Turnbull, clinical nurse educator at Student Health. “Women are at a higher risk for HIV infection compared to men because of their anatomy,” she said. Any tear or abrasion can lead to an infection, Turnbull said. “We’re really trying to stress to women how easy it is to get the test and do it annually,” she said. HIV testing costs $15 and

Statistically, college-aged students are more at risk for contracting HIV than any other age group, she said. Approximately 40,000 new infections are reported each year, and nearly half of them are individuals under the age of 25, Turnbull said. If a student is diagnosed with HIV, they are referred to the WVU Positive Health Clinic for proper treatment by an infectious disease physician, said Tabatha Coombs, registered nurse and clinical coordinator for the Positive Clinic.

Promotional company to give out free beer, energy drinks BY GINA DAMATO CORRESPONDENT

Students at West Virginia University are the target consumers of brands such as beer and energy drinks being given out by uHAPS, a company that exposes products to college students. Promotions in Morgantown began in July 2010 with uHAPS setting up an eightmember team to complete “on the ground” marketing tactics, said Stepfan Jefferies, founder and senior vice pres-

ident of uHAPS Media. The team, led by Chris Rohman, a senior advertising major, has been working to promote brands like Anheuser-Busch, Yuengling and Monster energy drinks to college students, Jefferies said. Anheuser-Busch is the latest client to begin promotion, he said. Being a representative for uHAPS is a great college job, Rohman said. “Every time I work, it’s like going to a party, whether it is tailgating or the bar,” he said.

Tailgates and bars are just some of the venues that have events sponsored by uHAPS and Anheuser-Busch, Jefferies said. Others include concerts and festivals in the area. Their latest event included tailgating during the WVU vs. Syracuse football game on Oct. 23. “We have held over 100 events since we began in Morgantown,” Jefferies said. Morgantown is a recent market for the company and will become a permanent market for the various uHAPS pro-

to vote and to say that we appreciate the support as a collective group as Homecoming candidates,” he said. Zelder plans to fight the violation Sunday by mentioning that other candidates used a LISTSERV without punishment. “I never would have sent it if I knew it was illegal,” she said. “It would’ve never happened.” A similar violation against the pair was submitted by Wa-

Jefferies said. “We give away promotions, T-shirts, inflatable chairs, concert tickets, even scooters – you name it,” he said. The company utilizes Facebook and Twitter as well as their own website to promote upcoming locations and events, Jefferies said. The company also documents their events, taking a large number of photos and posting them to the various websites, Rohman said. “Students are beginning to recognize us more now,” he

A violation against candidate Taylor Richmond for having a racially discriminating campaign was also dismissed last Sunday. The complaint referenced candidates Richmond and Melissa Moraes’ use of the “Bed Intruder Song” as their campaign slogan, Frazie said. The violation was dismissed after it was determined to not have broken any elections codes. Another violation was filed by Zelder against Speilman,

which said Speilman was academically dishonest because she listed herself as a nursing student instead of a pre-nursing student on her queen application form. The violation against Speilman has been reviewed and determined to be an error and will be dismissed Sunday, Frazie said. Based on the nature of the violations, it would be unlikely that the election results would be overturned, Bailey said. All the Board’s decisions will be final, he said.

educated about HIV and are more likely to engage in high risk behaviors, she said. In addition, individuals who have other STIs are more like to contract HIV, Turnbull said. “Once you have one infection, your immune system is infected, which makes you more likely to contract HIV,” she said. HIV is classified as a chronic illness, but if diagnosed and

treated early, it is less likely to progress into acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS, Turnbull said. “HIV positive patients can still have relationships, get married and women can still have children,” she said. “It all has to be monitored very closely, but it’s feasible. You just have to know your status.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Let’s face it: Teenagers spend hours texting, socializing on Facebook and playing video games. And it’s driving their parents nuts. Sure, there are real dangers associated with all this screen time – everything from cyberbullying to couch-potato obesity. Not to mention driving while texting, shortened attention spans and Internet porn. But many of today’s parents spent hours as kids sitting in front of screens too – only they were TV screens. Which raises an interesting question: Is Facebook really worse for teenagers’ brains than the mindless reruns of “Gilligan’s Island” and “The Brady Bunch” that their parents consumed growing up? Douglas Gentile, a child psychologist and associate professor at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, who studies the effects of media on children, says texting, Facebook and video games are not inherently bad. Nor are they inherently better or worse than watching TV, although they do pose different risks, such as cyberbullying. But research has shown that the more time kids spend in front of screens – whether

danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

it’s TV or instant-messaging – the worse their school performance. “That doesn’t mean it’s true for every kid, but it makes sense, that for every hour a kid is playing video games, it’s an hour that they’re not doing homework or reading or exploring or creating,” he said. Gentile calls this the “displacement hypothesis. If screen time is displacing doing their homework, that’s bad. But if their homework is done, well, so what?” Gentile, who admits that his own teenager crossed the “9,000 texts in one month barrier” last summer, acknowledged that parents are struggling to adjust to a world in which kids would rather look at words on a cell phone screen than have a conversation. “The older generation, it’s not their culture,” he said. “There is a resistance to it.” Watching TV as a family, as mindless as that experience can be, is now regarded with nostalgia by parents. If your kid is sitting in the living room watching “American Idol,” you can plop on the sofa with them, and “it’s a shared experience,” Gentile said. But if they’re texting or video-chatting with a

friend from school, “it’s a private experience. It’s like they’re whispering secrets. And we find it rude.” Patti Rowlson, a mother of two in Everson, Wash., says this “has been a topic of discussion in our house for years now.” She and her husband started out limiting TV time when their kids were little, but “then technology crept in. Cell phones, laptop computers, iPods with Wi-Fi. We, as parents, were no longer in control of screen time because we could not even tell when they were using it.” Recounting a struggle that will sound familiar to many parents, Rowlson said that at first, she and her husband imposed limits on tech use. “There were battles and even groundings,” along with the confiscation of iPods, she said. “We were constantly policing and the kids were constantly getting in trouble. We were trying to fight for the old ways, and it was causing a lot of stress and tension in the family. It was ridiculous. So we loosened up. And it’s made everybody happier. We were fighting something that you can’t hold back. It’s how they communicate with their peers.”

Sunday Halloween Night

Connecticut enters tonight’s contest with much momentum, however, as the Huskies are losers of their last two games – losses at Rutgers and at Louisville. But UConn is undefeated at home this season, and the Mountaineers expect Connecticut to rely heavily on Todman in order to continue

its success at Rentschler Field. “He’s a very versatile back. He can run the ball inside or outside,” Thomas said. “They’ve always come out and have a good running attack, no matter who is in the backfield. We have to account for him. He’s going to be a tough task for us.” Offensively, West Virginia will have to limit its turnovers if the Mountaineers want to avoid a repeat of last week. WVU quarterback Geno Smith

The plethora of blitz packages executed by the SU defense made it especially hard for the Mountaineer offensive line, and the team expects a similar approach out of the Huskies’ defensive unit tonight.

FRIday OCTOBER 29, 2010

Women’s soccer in need of support Sunday The West Virginia University women’s soccer team is on the verge of reaching history. But, it needs your help to do so. The Mountaineers have won nine-straight games heading into Sunday’s Big East Conference Tournament quarterfinal game against Rutgers. The team tied a program record of wins in a row Sunday in a 2-1 win over Providence. If WVU can beat the Scarlet Knights at 1 p.m., Sunday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium,

it will have won 10 games in a row for the first time in program history. West Virginia has been able to turn its season around after a slow start. The Mountaineers, who have been to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last 10 years, were playing at a pace that could’ve ended that streak. When the team fell to 4-4-1, head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown brought the team together in what has been a highly publicized team meeting. From that point, the Mountaineers have

been a completely different team. WVU has reeled off nine victories in a row. Four of those games have come with decisive three goal or more margins. Izzo-Brown’s squad features some of the best players in the Big East Conference, including forwards Blake Miller and Megan Mischler, midfielder Bri Rodriguez, defender Bry McCarthy and goalkeeper Kerri Butler. The Mountaineers are so strong this season that 14 play-

ers have tallied at least one point. The success hasn’t translated into larger crowds, though. The women’s soccer team is averaging 759 fans per home game. The Mountaineer women’s soccer team is truly the best show in town, and deserves a larger crowd Sunday. When the stadium is packed to capacity, it can be one of the most intense college soccer atmospheres in the country. That’s what Izzo-Brown and

the Mountaineers will need if they want to increase their chances of making program history. If WVU continues to play with as much success as it has over the last nine games, you could stake the claim you saw WVU’s first national title team – not including rifle – in person. So, head out to the stadium for what should be quality Big East soccer on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Morgantown.

Avoid the nightmare before Halloween: Last minute costumes CHad wilcox columnist

When we were (younger) children, All Hallows’ Eve was a night of light-hearted terror when we were encouraged to dispense with our disbelief and relish the appearance of ghosts, ghouls and goblins. We dressed up to trick each other and fleece treats from adults who no longer believed in what we tried to resemble. We ate candy until our tummies hurt, and nearly developed diabetes overnight. Now, in the horrors of young adulthood, you dispense with your self-respect and indulge in freedom from fear of embarrassment and humiliation. You dress up with even more make-up and even more attention to detail than a normal night out. Now, the boys dress to amuse, and the girls dress to arouse. You drink until your tummy hurts, and develop a hangover

overnight. It’s a night of Jack-andCokes instead of jack-o’-lanterns, an annual pop-culture parade in which video games, jokes, movies, books and pornographies come alive and take over the streets. While once we suspended our sense of reality, we now suspend our sense of morality. Who wants a pillowcase full of cavity-causing treats with so much eye candy around? No longer is the scariest thing knocking on creepy, crotchety old Mrs. Jones’ door, nor scoring Reese’s cups laced with razor blades. What we most fear now is showing up to the costume party or club costume-less – truly a social nightmare. But even if you haven’t been planning your costume since Nov. 1, 2009, or can’t afford an “Always Sunny” Green Man suit, it’s never too late to put something together last minute. Here are some ideas to make the most of your collegiate Halloween. Adam and/or Eve

For boys: A fig leaf. For girls: Three fig leaves. If you’re a couple, grab an apple and go together. It’s cute, yet simple, but is a fair-weather costume. Vampire Vampires have been reborn – if that is possible for the undead – with “Twilight” and “True Blood.” To be on Team Edward or Team Jacob, snap in some vampire teeth and spray paint on some abs. For something even more orgiastic, go for the debauched, bloodlusting True Blood look. To be Bella, just dress casually, but remember to let your jaw hang open and blink your eyes constantly. Sl--ty anything It’s because of the Sl--ty Anything costume that a night once populated by childhood nightmares is now full of adolescent fantasies. If you’ve been on campus for just one Halloween, you have witnessed the novel perversion of just about everything: school girl, baseball player, construction worker,

nurse, elf, angel, nun, hobo. So how can you dress up by dressing down this year? The best method is to start nude and add minimal pieces of coverage until you can be vaguely recognized as a popculture character, animal or inanimate object. It could be as simple as underwear and cat whiskers, or as elaborate as underwear and a halo. If you don’t feel like building your own, it might be too late to order a pre-made expositional costume from the Internet, but that’s not a problem. Head over to Wal-Mart and squeeze into something from the kids’ Halloween section; suddenly you’re a sl--ty “Dora the Explorer.” Any thing p ol itically incorrect If you’re going for laughs this year, think up something offensive and shocking, either historical or contemporaneous.

123 Pleasant Street vital to Morgantown’s local music scene jeremiah yates columnist

If there is one thing Morgantown has, it’s a vibrant night life. It’s no secret the students and local residents in Touchdown City love to get their groove on and let loose. For the girls wanting to get out and “shake it,” a number of clubs will meet their boogie needs; and the suave gentlemen searching for a connection are sure to follow. But not everyone is a “booty shaker” or a smooth-talking player with mischievous motives.

Others just love live music. And there are many bars in Morgantown that feature live bands. Yet none contribute to the local music scene like 123 Pleasant Street. Every week, 123 features local favorites such as Fletcher’s Grove, ’85 Flood, Square the Circle, the Greens and many more. Since the building opened its doors as The Underground Railroad in 1982, it has been the backbone to local music. Marsha Ferber, the original owner of the Underground Railroad, operated the bar with the intentions of spreading her liberal views of music, politics and art.

With the support from U92’s local alternative format, her creation quickly became a favorite among music and art lovers. Nationally acclaimed acts such as the legendary blues man Bo Diddley and The Red Hot Chili Peppers started to make appearances at the popular venue, which increased the buzz on campus. The Underground Railroad experienced much success through the 80s, but after Ferber’s mysterious disappearance in April of 1988, the bar’s flame blew out. Her employees kept the bar running for a year before they closed the doors. After the bar reopened in 1990 under the name The

Nyabinghi Dance Hall, the popularity of the bar returned. An abundance of local bands filled the bar regularly until 1998, when the building was condemned by city officials. Following 100 years of supporting businesses and live music, rumors spread that the building was going to be torn down. But after the building was bought by current owner Louis Giuliani, he and several other supporters of the cause worked tirelessly to save the historic site. The bar again reopened under a new name – 123 Pleasant Street. To this day the bar continues to bring acts from around the country.

Just this year, the bar has featured Hank Williams III, SOJA and The Clarks. “123 is one of the places we started ... I remember my buddy telling me that he saw Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana there together before “Nevermind.” I was like ‘holy crap,’ I’m standing on the same stage,’” said Jacob Hemphill, lead vocals and guitar for SOJA. “We come back because we love the town and the fans. Morgantown is a place like no other. The hospitality is all around us.” Music lovers of all genres are welcome at 123. For those who want to get out the glow sticks and get down to laser shows and techno beats, 123 features the electronic

dance night on Wednesdays. Other nights vary. Rap, metal, bluegrass, funk and country are all likely to be seen on stage at 123. No matter the taste, any fan of music can call the bar home. The bar is not the largest in Morgantown, nor is it the most technological or renovated. But the vibes felt inside are fascinating, and the entertainment provided is top-shelf. Other bars of Morgantown need to follow their lead and continue to support the local music scene. In the words of Plato, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”

THROWDOWN IN MOTOWN

Winter sports will take over High Street Saturday by mackenzie mays associate a&e editor

The fourth annual Motown Throwdown presented by Pathfinder of West Virginia will make High Street the center of extreme winter sports Saturday. The event will act as a preseason contest, in which 40 professional snowboarders and skiers from all over the country will compete for a $1,000 prize on an 80-foot rail setup between Walnut and Pleasant

Win tickets to ‘Spring Awakening’ West Virginia University Arts & Entertainment is giving students the chance to win tickets to coming-of-age play “Spring Awakening.” Those interested can stop by WVU A&E’s table in front of Hatfield’s in the Mountainlair between 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to register for the competition. Company manager of the play Landon Shaw said the play is “a coming-of-age musical and very unique in its presentation. There’s comedic moments, but there’s moments that are somewhat

streets, accompanied by more than10,000 pounds of snow. “We’re basically transplanting the rail parks that are found in bigger resorts outside of Morgantown, right in the middle of High Street,” said Event Coordinator Andrew Walker. “This way, people can come out and see these guys do the same caliber tricks from mainstream action sports seen at the X Games and the Dew Tour, right downtown.” Aside from the competition, local DJ Sean Nice and

dramatic.” The play tackles issues familiar to all teenagers going through adolescence including sexuality, love and suicide. “The show is edgy,” he said. “It’s not a kids show by any means – we even have signs warning about that,” he said. “Spring Awakening” features nudity, sexual content and strong language. These elements are presented “in a way that makes it non-gratuitous,” Shaw said. The play comes to the WVU Creative Arts Center Monday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $27 for students with a valid WVU ID and are available for purchase at the Mountainlair or Creative Arts Center box offices. — ddr

MIX MASTER MIKE will perform live during the event on the provided 30-foot stage. MIX MASTER MIKE is the DJ for hip-hop group the Beastie Boys and has won multiple DMC World DJ Championships as a turntablist. A light show, featuring more than 100 choreographed cannister lights, will also be featured. A variety of vendors, including Oakley, Burton and Skullcandy will be giving away free prizes to those in attendance.

Walker said the event is focused on bringing more awareness about a lesser-known sport. “The main goal is to promote boarding and skiing throughout the state,” Walker said. “It’s getting bigger and bigger, and people don’t realize what the state has to offer when it comes to these sports, and the people who excel in these sports are overlooked.” The Warner Theatre will reopen Friday night as part of the festivities.

Three movies will be shown to get the people into the mood for the winter sports event. “Cheers,” a snowboarding film, “Always Strapped,” a documentary which chronicles the Pathfinder Team around the local area and “iTrip,” a skiing movie will be shown for the single price of $5. Doors open at 7 p.m. An after party, hosted by Pathfinder following the main event Saturday, will be held in the VIP room of De Lazy Lizard. Approximately 500 VIP

bracelets will be distributed at the event Saturday. “This is one of the largest rail jams on the East Coast, and I think this year is going to be three times as big as the events in the past,” Walker said. “Bottom line is, we want to bring more popularity to these sports and get everyone ready for winter.” The Motown Throwdown begins at 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public. mackenzie.mays@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

friends as you start the weekend.

BORN TODAY This year, follow your knee-jerk response, and you’ll come out ahead. Creativity and imagination merge, especially as you learn to understand those in your day-to-day environment. Open up to new possibilities, though at times you could feel uncomfortable. If you are single, a foreigner could have a startling impact on your life. The experience could be a real eyeopener. If you are attached, the two of you become closer through taking a seminar or workshop together. You also might plan a very special trip together. CANCER can draw you in quickly.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Your energy is right in sync with the moment. Surprising news comes your way. The unexpected occurs with plans. You won’t want to change your plans, but it might be necessary. You understand what responsibility means. Tonight: Go off and be spontaneous.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH All eyes turn to you, whether you like it or not. You could be overwhelmed by your feelings. At the same time, you will gain insight into what drives you. Allow greater creativity and caring to flow into your life. Tonight: Let your hair down. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Communication flourishes when you focus on your long-term goals. Touch base with a key person you look up to. Let your imagination rock and roll. Unexpected developments could surprise you and point to a new course of action. Tonight: Happily mosey on home. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Be careful about spending. Suddenly, out of the blue, a devil-may-care attitude might be marking your actions when it comes to spending and overindulgence. Careful! A boss reacts in an unanticipated manner. Tonight: Visit with

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Understand what is going on behind the scenes. You come to the inevitable conclusion that you might need more facts. Keep your own counsel. You don’t need to let everyone know what you are thinking. Tonight: Nap, then decide. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Meetings prove to be instrumental in making decisions. You discover the power of a group. A partner could surprise you with his or her actions, reminding you that you never know someone completely. Tonight: You might want to call it an early night. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Detach yourself from a boss or difficult person in your life. You have energy and dynamic ideas. Mix them together, and you are unbeatable. Funnel your energy into your weekend, friends and long-term goals. Tonight: Where the party is. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You understand how very psychic or intuitive you are. Know that you need to follow through on these feelings. The long-term ramifications of suppressing your emotions could be quite

overwhelming. Tonight: Bring friends together. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You could make inroads with a key person, if you so choose. How you handle a personal relationship really is your decision, but if you could identify with this person, your bond would be closer. Try walking in his or her shoes. Tonight: Take off ASAP. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Creativity flourishes because you are able to allow others to dominate and sometimes come up with the better idea. Accepting the power of teamwork in creating a better product could be more important than you realize. Tonight: Get together with a favorite person. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Complete what you start, knowing you probably won’t want to work this weekend. In fact, as the day meets dusk, you already have a strong sense of what might be going on this weekend. Tonight: So many choices. Now what? PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH You radiate contentment and anger. You also seem to be able to find solutions when few people can. Open up to news, and stay even and steady. Perspective defines situations. Your laughter heralds a new beginning and a change of pace. Tonight: Make it an early night.
