HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8
Proceed with caution. Fulfilling a fantasy could drain your resources. You may come up with a way to make more money this evening. Do that instead of spending too much and you'll be much happier tomorrow.
Taurus: Today is a 6
Gemini: Today is a 7
You may be slightly nervous, especially if you're getting yell at. You're being pushed by a person whom you think is moving too fast. You might be right about that, too. Don't get shaved around. Stand your ground.
Enjoy being with friends this morning, but don't goof off all day. You have to get a few things done before the day's done. If you're not careful, you'll have to do them at home later on tonight.
Cancer; Today is an 8
You and a group of friends can accomplish great things. Get together and have a great time while you're solving a community problem. Actually, just getting together solves one problem.
Leo: Today is a 7
You'll feel a little more inhibited and restrained as the day goes on. You may feel like somebody's watching you, too. If so, put on a good show.
Virgo: Today is a 7
You might talk a good friend into going for a drive. Keep costs down by visiting relatives or dear friends who'll feed you. Make sure your vehicle's in good shape, however.
Scorpio: Today is a 7
Sagittarius: Today is an 8
Libra: Today is a 7
You have a knack for finding people who want to buy things for you. Share your services or resources in exchange for something you can't afford. Don't just lean on the other person, though.
Capricorn: Today is an 8
You've had so much work lately that you've hardly had a chance to take a lunch break. The good news is you could get a bonus for being such a hero. Others have noticed how much you've accomplished. You're awesome!
You've most likely had several fabulous days recently. It's just about time to get back to work. You'd better stop having so much fun and start ting serious again.
Aaarius: Today is a 6
Pisces: Today is an 8
A rather stressful past few days could merge right into an enjoyable evening tonight. Money's tight, but there's plenty of love. How about pulling out the board games?
You're learning quickly again today. You're always smart, but right now you're also creative. A breakdown could lead to a breakthrough, too. A person who has trouble communicating could finally burst out with the truth.
Do whatever you can think of to bring in more money. Is your job big enough to grow into? If not, why are you still hanging around there? Get out and find something you can get excited about. You're a caring, loving, great person.

Broncos trade player to Rams for draft pick
DENVER — Derek Loville, who spent three seasons as Terrell Davis' backup, was traded by the Broncos to the St. Louis Rams yesterday for an undisclosed draft pick.
He was set to fill in for Davis last season when Davis suffered a season-ending knee injury. But Loville promptly pulled a hamstring and lost the job to rookie Olandis Gary, who ran for 1,159 yards.
Loville finished with 203 yards on 40 carries.
Loville went to Denver as a free agent in 1997 and served as an insurance policy for Davis. For his nine-year career, Loville has run for 1,620 yards in 111 games with Denver and the San Francisco 49ers.

Many freshmen stars highlight season
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Most of the talk surrounding college basketball seems to be about how long the better players will be around.
Senior stars have gone the way of fin-tailed cars and eight-track tapes. This was a season for freshmen.
The list of freshmen standouts include everyone from Duke's crew of Jason Williams, Carlos Boozer and Mike Dunleavy to Arizona's backcourt of Jason Gardner and Gubert Arenas to Stanford's Casey Jacobsen to North Carolina's Joseph Forte to George Washington's SirValliant Brown, the nation's second-leading scorer.
Then on Monday night, three seniors, two of whom put the NBA on hold, led Michigan State to its first national championship in 21 years.
Mateen Cleaves, Morris Peterson and A.J. Granger did more than combine for 59 points in the Spartans' 89-76 victory against Florida. They may have started a lot of people thinking a senior year isn't such a bad thing. It could lead to one of those special
nights when nets are cut down, musical tributes are played and memories are made.
" That
' O ne
Shining
Moment,
that's
always
been
a favorite
song of
mine ever
since I've been a kid," Cleaves said. "You always watch games, you always watch people who won national championships. And me, always as a kid, I always couldn't wait for that 'One Shining Moment' song. I would always stay up and watch that. It was a great feeling to see yourself up on there on 'One Shining Moment.'"
The Spartans' victory capped a tournament of upsets. They were the only No. 1 seed to reach the Final Four and were joined by fifth-seeded Florida and two No. 8s, Wisconsin and North Carolina, each arriving with a record-13 losses. The tournament also capped a season of the big conferences dominating the Top 25.
Defending champion Connecticut started the season ranked No.1 but that was the Huskies' only week on top. Cincinnati was top-ranked for 12 weeks, and Stanford was there for
five weeks. The team on top for the final poll of the season was Duke, which started the season with two losses and lost only three more times the rest of the way.
The Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, the two leagues that met in the final, dominated the rankings this season. In the tournament, each league sent six teams, as did the Big 12.
Cincinnati center Kenyon Martin was the national player of the year and his injury early in the Bearcats' Conference USA tournament opener changed the look of the NCAA tournament.
With Martin on crutches after breaking his leg, Cincinnati went from the consensus favorite for the tournament to a No. 2 seed and a second-round exit.
Martin was joined on the All- America team by fellow senior A.J. Guyton of Indiana, juniors Marcus Fizer of Iowa State and Chris Mihm of Texas and sophomore Trouv Murphy of Notre Dame.
Fizer has said he would enter the NBA draft. Mihm and Murphy will be the focus of much talk the next month as they make their decisions.
Maybe "One Shining Moment' will bring back some of those underclassman. And maybe seniors will be in vogue next season when the Final Four is in Minneapolis.
