ARIES (March 21-April 19): One thing is ready for takeoff. Another isn't. It takes presence of mind to be able to distinguish between the two but you are more than up to the task.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There is a lot of preparation work to be tackled today. Before forging ahead, do your homework and set the proper stage. You will be glad that you did.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You attract the attention that you want but is it the kind of attention that you really need? Forethought helps you make more measured and accurate decisions today. Think ahead.
Black smoke rose above the Sistine Chapel today, signaling that 115 Roman Catholic cardinals failed to agree on a new pope during the first day of the papal conclave.
The conclave began deliberating inside the Vatican after swearing an oath of secrecy and entering into another search for a Pope at about 5 p.m. local time 12 p.m. ET.
Are the 115 Cardinals meeting at the Sistine Chapel in Rome praying for a Jesus like figure with an MBA in divine intervention for The Pope?
A judge has permanently blocked Mike Bloomberg's citywide ban on large sugary drinks.
The ban, which was supposed to begin tomorrow, would have impacted restaurants, theaters, sports stadiums, and any place that receives a letter grade from the city's Health Department.
New York City's Mayor pushed for the first U.S. ban of over-sized sugary drinks in his latest controversial step to reduce obesity and its deadly complications in a nation with a weight problem.
These drinks would have no longer been sold in containers larger than 16 ounces.

US government Census figures validate what many have known for years. Hispanics and Asians are driving the growth and redefining the makeup of this great nation.
These same figures also pointed to the 50 million milestone and the amazing growth beyond metropolitan communities with large Hispanic hubs.
We understand the Latino and Asian communities and will continue to be at the forefront of promoting multicultural and multilingual education.

This Week in History, Mar 10 - Mar 16

Rebellion in Tibet. Tibetans band together in revolt, surrounding the summer palace of the Dalai Lama in defiance of Chinese occupation forces. China's occupation of Tibet began nearly a decade before, in October 1950, when troops from its People's Liberation Army (PLA) invaded the country, barely one year after the Communists gained full control of mainland China. The Tibetan government gave into Chinese pressure the following year, signing a treaty that ensured the power of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the country's spiritual leader, over Tibet's domestic affairs. Resistance to the Chinese occupation built steadily over the next several years, including a revolt in several areas of eastern Tibet in 1956. By December 1958, rebellion was simmering in Lhasa, the capital, and the PLA command threatened to bomb the city if order was not maintained.
