Female ownership of busi- nesses increased by 20 percent in fi ve years, twice the overall LET’S GET PHYSICAL national rate, according to a recent U.S. Census Bureau re- port. The report reinforces the trend of an increasingly suc- cessful female population that has already surpassed men in higher education. “It started with the wom- en’s rights movement in the ’60s and ’70s,” said Lori Peek, an assistant professor of soci- ology who studies the role of gender in society, about the rise of women in business and higher education. In 2002, the nearly 6.5 mil- lion women-owned business- es generated $940 billion, a 15 percent increase from 1997, the bureau reported. Women-owned businesses were defi ned as private fi rms in which a woman held at least 51 percent ownership. Chris Linder, director of the Offi ce of Women’s Pro- grams and Studies, said she’s pleased with the increasing success of women in busi- ness, but that plenty of work remains. “When you have a signifi - cant increase in percentage, the number was small in the fi rst place,” she said. “I don’t think we’re at a 50/50 rate.” Women had majority own- ership in nearly 30 percent of privately owned U.S. fi rms in 2004, compared with 52 per- cent for men, according to the Center for Women’s Business Research.

The Last Word in Astrology Bill Amend Bill by Eugenia Last Foxtrot Happy Birthday: You will overcome some very unusual circum- stances this year. Set your mind on what you want to see happen this year and you can make it happen. You must not show anger but in- stead be disciplined, focused and determined to get what you want in a diplomatic and ingenious way. Your numbers are 16, 22, 27, 31, 38, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can surprise someone who is in- terested in what you have to say and do. A chance to make money or come into a gift is apparent. Be careful not to take what’s not yours. If you are uncertain as to what belongs to whom, ask. 4 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t get angry about the way things are being done and the lack of reforms being made. Instead, do some- thing about it. Speak up for what you believe in and for those unable to fend for themselves. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will have an opportunity you must take advantage of today. By concentrating on one thing, you can make the greatest change. Now is not the time to spread your talent around. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): A change in your personal life will be

Aaron MacGruder Aaron exhilarating. Do something a little different with your spare time but

Boondocks don’t overspend. Your heart will be in the right place but that doesn’t mean you should bail someone you love out of a fi nancial mess. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be honest with yourself about a partner- ship you are in and you will make the right decision. An opportunity to give back to your community will make you feel good. You will impress someone special with your thoughtfulness. 4 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t get angry about work or with the people you have to deal with today or little will be accomplished. Take the time to do your job right and disregard what others do or say. You will be the one who gets ahead if you are diligent. 2 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Travel, entertainment and pursuing a creative dream should all be a part of your day. Plan your next vaca- tion or start off on a trip. An opportunity to turn one of your hobbies eld into a lucrative pastime looks promising. 5 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tempers may be mounting, especially with people with whom you deal regularly. Don’t let these people get to Jim Davis you. Get out with friends who understand you. Your feelings regarding

Garfi a certain someone appear to be changing. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will want to be in the center of whatever is going on today. You will have lots of wonderful sugges- tions but someone may take what you are trying to do the wrong way. Diplomacy will be important. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can make some very worth- while changes to the way you earn your living. Think about the things you enjoy doing most and you will discover the direction that best suits you. It’s time to incorporate your talents into your daily schedule. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is a perfect time to do some fi x- ing up to make your home more comfortable. Inviting someone to stay with you or opening your doors to a group you belong to will help put you in a superior position. Romance should be on your mind. 5 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your changing moods may confuse some of the people in your life. It is probably due to a secret you’ve been keeping. Money matters can be cleared up but only if you stop being a spendthrift. 2 stars Joey Ungerer Joey
