HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday: You could come up with a money-making idea this year. Don't spend it as fast as you get it, thought! Add everything up, both down and across, in February. Invest wisely in March by doing the homework and then moving quickly. You're smart in April, but inhibited in May. Support your mate's decision in August. Travel is expensive in October and more profitable in November. A friend could surprise you in December, and another warms your heart in January.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. 0 the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 5.
You could do something behind the scenes that works out well. Don't feel like you have to tell every body everything. Meanwhile, something you've already done is working in your favor. If you're a fair and honest person, that hasn't gone unnoticed.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
You and your buddies make a good team. You're smart, creative and concerned with helping others. If you get involved in a neighborhood project, things around there will never be the same again. And, of course, they'll be better! Just do it.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You may be just about ready to take action. A confronting situation could actually be good for you. This could cause you to stop and think, and maybe even change your mind. Take somebody else's point of view into consideration, and you'll make a wiser choice.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Errands and travel should go better now. You're also in the mood to ask tough questions. That's good because it's the only way you'll get the answer you've been seeking. Something you've avoided you can be easier now, so give it another try.
Leo: Today is a 4.
You have been pondering a purchase for quite some time. You're about to make a decision. Better think about it just a little while longer. Are you going this off for years? Are you risking more than you can afford to lose? Take care.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Doesn't look like you'll prevail in an argument today so don't even let it get started. You probably won't have to back down from something you think is important. It's more likely a trivial thing. So, why get your blood pressure up? Let them have what they want.
Libra: Todav is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
You may take quick action to help somebody else. Be on the lookout for a person who can't figure out You may have the tools this other person needs. Give your best advice, too, of course. Maybe you can help keep this from happening again.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
Today you're feeling strong, forceful and assertive Your sweetheart should listen and pretty much go along with what you want. That's partially because you're so convincing, and partially because you're right! And, you're so darned cute, too!
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
You're a social person most of the time. Tonight, however, you might do better if you stay home. Clean up your place and toss out some stuff you've outgrown. Make your own nest and family the most important things in your life and you'll benefit, too.
Learn as much as you can about an impending purchase. You don't have much more time, so don't waste a minute. The odds are good you'll have to decide before the day is through, and you know how you hate to make the wrong choice. You'd better get busy!
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
You are intelligent now, even more than usual. You may be noticing changes in your perspective. You're finding it easy to acquire new skills, so take advantage of this opportunity. Cram your brain full of whatever you've always wanted to know!

Police search football player's home
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Police searched Ray Lewis' home in Maryland yesterday as the All-Pro linebacker remained in an Atlanta jail facing murder charges.
Lewis' personal attorney, Ronald M. Cherry, said he could not comment on what police were looking for or what was confiscated from the home in Owings Mills, in suburban Baltimore.
The officers from Atlanta and Baltimore County arrived at the home around midnight and spent about three hours there, Cherry said. They could be seen carrying large plastic containers and loading a computer into a van.
Lewis, a Baltimore Ravens star who grew up in Lakeland, Fla., is charged in the Jan. 31 stabbing deaths of Jacinth "Shorty" Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24, outside a bar after a post-Super Bowl party. He is being held without bond pending a Monday hearing.
Lewis' mother, grandmother and fiancee visited him in jail Sunday, and other relatives and friends have come to his defense.
"We always told Ray that God gives life, and human beings shouldn't take life," Lewis' grandfather, Gillis McKinney, told ESPN on Sunday.
He said Lewis was that type of person.
Defense attorneys have said Lewis was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, but they said they would have no further comment until reviewing the case more thoroughly.
"We're working 18-hour days and then we're still thinking like we missed something," Jana Harris, one of Lewis' defense lawyers, told The Associated Press.
Atlanta police detectives have questioned A.J. Johnson, a former University of Maryland player who tried out with the Miami Dolphins, at his apartment in Laurel, Md., The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported yesterday.
Police also want to question Kwame King, who grew up in Lewis' hometown in Florida, Atlanta police spokesman John Quigley said.
Neither Johnson nor King necessarily is a suspect, Quigley said. Both men are thought to have been with Lewis in a limousine seen speeding from the crime scene.
Atlanta police gave few other details about the crime itself. A marked police car was seen Saturday in the driveway of the limousine's driver, Duane Fassett, although his wife, Linda, said he would have no comment.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution has reported that
Lewis was arrested based on Fassett's account of what happened.
But Fassett's attorney said he doubted that the driver's account was the sole reason for the charges against Lewis.
"If anybody makes the assumption that my client is a star witness against Ray Lewis, that would a false assumption," the lawyer, David Irwin, told The Associated Press yesterday morning.
Baltimore police would not give details of the investigation Sunday. Previous reports said two knives were found in the limo, and receipts for knives were found in Lewis' Atlanta hotel room. Harris previously said the knives and receipts might belong to someone else.
Lewis, 24. also faces charges that he hit a woman at a Baltimore-area bar on Nov. 30. Howard Merker, deputy state's attorney for Baltimore County, said the case would not go to trial if the charge could not be substantiated and postponed a hearing on the case.
"I was there and there ain't no way he touched that girl because the security—they know Ray—so they grabbed Ray when the fight broke out and pushed him off in the corner," said Ravens cornerback Duane Starks, who played with Lewis at the University of Miami.
