HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 17). You're luckier in love this year, and that could lead to a commitment. You may start out with an argument in February, though. Buy a nice gift in March, but don't spend your life savings. Save a quicker route to your goal in April and take your time to do things right in May. Let a child distract you in June, but settle down with a grownup in August. Find a treasure in December and new confidence in January.
10 get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest
day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries: Todav is a 7.
You've been under a little bit of stress lately.
You may not have even noticed, but now that it's gone, don't you feel better? It's like not having a headache any more. Only trouble is, you want to do two things now. Choose the easier one.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You've had a few busy days. Now you be wiser to settle down, relax and mull over what you've recently learned. This is a good night for reviewing the material. It's also pretty good for entertaining, but not on an intimate level. Save that for this weekend.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Don't launch a new endeavor quite yet. Do a little more planning first. If you think out all the various scenarios, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. You might save a lot of time and money, too. Learn viciously.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You have a few big decisions to make. Trouble is, you can't make up your mind! You're not going to get someone else to decide for you. It would be nice, but not really. You're the only one who really knows what's best for you. Do it.
Leo: Today is a 5.
You may feel cramped. Why should you have to modify your magnificence, just because of somebody else? Well, it might be a good idea if you did. You have just about everything figured out, but there could be one last thing. This will give you fit until you get it.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You're under pressure at work. Make sure everything gets done perfectly and on time. You always like to do the best job you can, but you don't have to do it all by yourself. Get a team working with you, and your success is even more assured.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Saaittarius; Today is a 4
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
This will be one of those days when you have to think things through carefully. Don't let anybody push you into moving more quickly than absolutely necessary. A couple of people want to give it a try, but do what's right for you.
A lot is going on today, and you're popular. Everybody wants you to be part of their team. You could entertain at home. That's the best location for a romantic interlude.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You want to get moving, but you're stuck. You can't travel because you have to work. You want to stretch your legs and your mind, but you're trapped in a box. Try not to bite anybody's head off; just go for a long walk when you can.
Money, money, money. Your money, other people's money, taxes and investments. What to do? Well, you're going to grow up to be good at this, if you're not already. You have a natural talent.
There could be a bit of a struggle today. You may want to delegate some of your responsibilities, but you may not be sure how. You and your mate could get into an argument about who's doing what. Share the load, but keep the responsibilities if you can.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You've been getting along fine with your friends and loved ones, but you might get a little more reserved for the next few weeks. Focus on your work today, and the romance should take care of itself. You don't have to be aggressive. It'll come to you.
KANSAS FOOTBALL
Kansas football picked up another defensive secondary coach yesterday when they hired Tim Burke, who will be an assistant to head secondary coach Dick Moseley.

"We're very excited to have a coach the caliber of Tim Burke join our staff," coach Terry Allen said. Burke, who spent the last three

Duval, Els eye Tiger at Nissan Open tourney
GOLF
LOS ANGELES — David Duval and Ernie Els, two of the world's best golfers, don't resent Tiger Woods' success. In fact, they're fans of the 24-year-old wizard.
"The impact he has had and continues to have is amazing," said Duval yesterday after playing a rainsoaked round in the Nissan Open pro-am at Riviera Country Club. "I feel very lucky to be a part of the game right now, out here playing with him. It's a neat time to be playing. I think Tiger is sort of viewed outside of our game now. It's hard for me, as a friend of his, to really grasp who he is and what he represents because he's become such a big star and I don't look at him that way. Maybe that's how it is with Michael Jordan."
"It's kind of easy for me to talk about Tiger," said Els who won by two shots last year. "I regard him as the best player in the world, and he's leading the way, showing the way for other players to follow. He motivates me, makes me want to try to get my game to a higher level."
Els, who is defending his Nissan Open title against Woods, Duval and the rest of the Nissan field this week, had similar feelings.
Woods also motivates Duval, who about this time last year had already won twice and was ranked No. 1 in the world, with Woods second.
Viking punter re-signed, sets record for high pay
NFL
The Pro Bowl punter re-signed with Minnesota, agreeing to a five-year, $6 million deal that includes a $1.65 million bonus — a record for an NFL punter.
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Mitch Berger wants no part of blustery Lambaube Field, storm Arrowhead Stadium or breezy Raymond James Stadium.
The total value of the deal ties Cleveland's Chris Gardocki as the richest ever signed by a punter.
Agent Tom Mills said the Vikings agreed to the bonus yesterday, stopping the free agent from boarding an evening flight for Kansas City. Berger also canceled visits to Tampa Bay and Green Bay.
"Had he taken some of those trips, there was a possibility of a higher offer, but in the grand scheme staying in Minnesota and indoors in a dome was very influential in his decision," Mills said.

the games in his NFL career.
It should be a competitive situation for him to have an opportunity to see if he can be a starting player," said Carolina coach George Seifert. "Jay brings experience, toughness and a good work ethic."
To make room for Williams, the Panthers released right guard Anthony Redmon, a starter of 15 games last season.
"Anthony worked very hard, and we have a great deal of respect for him." Seifert said. "It is an unfortunate part of the business."

Hull died Tuesday at his Las Vegas home. His wife, Mary, said he had been having heart problems.
Famed ring announcer dies of heart problems
LAS VEGAS — Chuck Hull, the ring announcer for most of the 1980s Las Vegas fights, has died. He was 75.
Hull, who announced at least 130 world title fights until he retired in 1995, worked such fights as the first Sugar Ray Leonard-Thomas Hearns bouts, the Larry Holmes Muhammad Ali and the Holmes-Gerry Cooney flights.
Hull was also the ring announcer for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
"In the 1980s, he personified the sport of boxing in Las Vegas," said Marc Ratner, the Nevada Athletic Commission executive director. "Almost every big fight, he was the ring announcer for. He had a resonant voice and a classy manner, understated in the way he introduced the fighters."
Hull worked in the casino business for more than 44 years.
Funeral services are set for Saturday.

Rodman challenges Stern to fist fight after being booted from Bucks game
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Dennis Rodman ejected? That's old stuff. This time, Rodman is taking a new approach. He wants to duke it out with David Stern.
"I don't know who gave David Stern all the power in the world to sit there and make all the rules in the world, but this league has gone to hell." Rodman said after his ejection from Tuesday night's game, only his second with the Mavericks. "It's ridiculous."
Rodman, speaking on his way from the locker room to the parking lot, then challenged the commissioner to settle their differences with their fists.
"I wish me and David Stern can get some damn gloves on, and we go in the ring and we can see who'll come out the winner," Rodman said. "Me and him."
Rodman could be fined and suspended for his words and actions. There was no immediate comment yesterday from the NBA.
The latest blowup began with 7:13 left in Dallas' 112-99 home loss to Milwaukee.
Rodman complained that the Bucks should have been called for an illegal defense. As Sam Cassell went to shoot the free throw, Rodman
went to the other foul line and sat down in protest, drawing another technical and an automatic ejection. "I told the referee. Why don't you
I took the red kick me out for a reason? Let me hit somebody first. That's a good reason. Don't kick me out because I sit down, ' ' Rodman said. "I've been a marked man for years. Nobody else in the league would have gotten kicked out for that."
Rodman: Received second technical for sitting on foul line
Rodman also may be peeved at Stern for forcing him to move out of the guest house of Mavericks owner-in-waiting Mark Cuban.
The commissioner said the arrangement violated salary cap rules even though Rodman was paying rent. He was given 72 hours to move out.
"He's moved into a high-rise apartment," Cuban said Tuesday. "I don't know if all the stuff is completely moved yet, but it's done."

Dennis Rodman
Dallas Mavericks forward
Mavericks plenty of attention, but not necessarily the right kind. After winning seven of eight games, Dallas has lost two straight with the eccentric rebounding star.
Rodman actually was having a good game before being tossed. He had 16 rebounds — the most by a Dallas player this season — and added six points and four assists in 36 minutes.
Teammates said Rodman was upset that the Bucks were not called for fouls while playing rough defense against him.
"They were grabbing his shirt, and that frustrated him," Mavericks guard Erick Strickland said. "He didn't deserve to get ejected."
