HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday.
How long has it been since you've had a real vacation? Let your vision for the future guide your planning in February. Try not to buy an impulse in March. Luck and learning are linked in April. Home and family need structure in May. Opposites attract in August, and somebody similar is your best bet in October. That's your best month to travel, too. Dump a bad habit in December, and acquire a new love in January.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating;
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries: Todav is an 8.
What starts out as an argument could lead to an interesting conversation. You could realize that you have things to offer each other. Instead of focusing on your differences, go ahead and become friends.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You could make a good deal today, but make sure you plan it carefully. Know what you're supposed to do and what you'll get in return. Get everything down in writing to avoid misunderstandings.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
You're mentally agile. You might suddenly see things in a different way, too. If you're working with a partner, ask for coaching. He or she can point out something that's hidden from your view.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You might want to hide out today. People are going to hatch each other, and a little of that goes a long way with you. Meanwhile, don't spend the money before the check clears the bank.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Are you trying to learn something that's not making sense? Well, maybe you're trying to lead when you should be following. You may think you're smarter than your teacher, but you could be wrong about that.
Virao: Today is a 6.
A ton of work needs to be done, and there's a lot of money to be made, too. You might be so overwhelmed that you don't even care. To find the right helper, enter a slightly different option.
Libra: Today is an 8.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You could get a bonus today. Usually, you have to work hard for every cent.
Consequently, you might not think you deserve this windfall profit. Don't argue. That would be ridiculous. Accept, graciously.
You could learn something interesting. You almost had the mystery solved, but not quite. Well, new data could prove your premise beyond a reasonable doubt. Keep digging!
Saittarius: Today is an 8.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Love looks good for you today. Your house is the best place to be to make that happen. Work needs to be done, but it won't take long. Get the family involved with that, too, and it'll be fun.
Aquarius: Today is an 8.
This looks like a good time to try something you've never done before. Travel looks like it'll work out better than romance, and teaching is the best way for you to learn.
Watch out: a technical breakdown could cause a snag. Even that is for the better, amazingly enough. Your luck is good. You might even figure out what to fix before it breaks down. Now, that's lucky!
Pisces: Today is a 6.
Pisces: today is a B.
Don't worry about how you're going to do it.
Have confidence that you will and then get busy.
Scrimping is one way to get what you want, but the better way is to increase your income.

Former Jets coach files lawsuit against NFL
NEWARK, N.J. — Bill Belichick,
angry the NFL won't allow him to
negotiate with teams other than the
New York Jets, filed an antitrust suit
against the league yesterday in federal court.
Belichick, who lost last Friday in an administrative proceeding before NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, asked for a temporary restraining order against the league. It would prohibit the NFL from stopping negotiations between Belichick and any team.

U. S. District Judge John W. Bissell scheduled a hearing for today.
"The league's directive requiring all clubs to stop dealing with coach Belichick is a classic group boycott."
said Belichick's lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, who also has represented NFL, NBA and Major League Soccer players in antitrust cases.
NFL representative Joe Browne declined comment.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Denver Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith was arrested yesterday on charges of third-degree assault and harassment after an altercation last week with his common-law wife, authorities said.
Smith, 29, surrendered to the Douglas County Sheriff's Department on Monday morning. He posted $5,000 bail and was released, sheriff's Sgt. Attila Denes said.
Tagliabue ruled Belichick is still bound by contract to the Jets for the coming season. The league said he, the Jets and any club seeking to hire Belichick must work out an agreement before Feb. 1.
Broncos wide receiver charged with assault
An affidavit filed in Douglas County District Court alleges Smith choked, beat and shoved 27-year-old Jami Mourglia during an argument Wednesday at their home in Parker southeast of Denver.
The affidavit describes Mourglia as Smith's common-law wife. They have two children.
If convicted, Smith could be sentenced to two years in prison and fined $5,000.
Broncos representative Jim Saccomano, reached at the Super Bowl in Atlanta, said he had not heard of Smith's arrest.
A judge issued a restraining order yesterday directing Smith to stay
Smith has played in the NFL for five years, all with the Broncos, and posted more than 1,000 yards receiving in the 1999 season. His 80-yard reception in Denver's NFL Championship win against Atlanta last year tied a record for the second-longest touchdown catch in Super Bowl history.

SOCCER
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Rivaldo, the star forward of Brazil's national team and of Barcelona in the Spanish League, was voted FIFA player of the year yesterday, beating England's David Beckham and Argentina's Gabriel Batistuta.
Beckham, who plays for Manchester United, was second with 18 firsts and 194 points, and Bastiatus, a forward for Fiorentina in the Italian League, was third with five firsts and 79 points.
Brazilian star named FIFA player of the year
Rivaldo received 91 first-place votes and 543 points from the 140 national team coaches who cast ballots.
"It is the best thing that has happened in my life as a player," Rivaldo said.
Rivaldo succeeded Zinedine Zidane of France and Juventus of Turin, last year's winner.
Brazilians have won the award in four of the last six years, with Romario finishing first in 1994, and Ronaldo in 1996 and '97.
"Just to be here in this party is very moving," Rivaldo said.
Rivaldo said yesterday he wanted to stay at Barcelona until the end of his contract in 2003 and denied reports linking him to a possible transfer to the Italian League.
Lazio officials. What's been said in the press is false," Rivaldo said. "I'm very happy at Barcelona. It's a great club."
"I've never had any contact with
Rivaldo led Barcelona to its second straight Spanish League title and led Brazil to victory of the Copa America, South America's championship.
NBA
Michael Heisley stepped into the void left by Bill Laurie's recent exit, purchasing the Grizzlies yesterday. BCTV, citing an unidentified source, said the sale was for $160 million
Grizzlies find buyer; NBA still must approve
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A Chicago billionaire who made his fortune buying and rebuilding struggling companies may face his biggest challenge with his latest purchase — the struggling Vancouver Grizzlies.
He wants to keep the franchise in Vancouver, something Laurie wasn't prepared to do. And Heisley already has held discussions with NBA commissioner David Stem, who suggested the Grizzlies would be a good fit for him.
The deal still needs NBA approval, although Heisley has two things in his favor.
Heisley becomes the Grizzlies' fourth prospective owner in the franchise's five-year history. Arthur Griffiths, the team's founder, sold his interest to Seattle's John McCaw, who formed Orca Bay, the parent company that also owns the Vancouver Canucks and GM Place arena.
McCaw, citing the financial burden of owning two pro teams and an arena, tried to sell the Grizzlies for $200 million in September to Laurie, who's wife Nancy is an heir to the Wal-Mart fortune. Laurie, however, was forced to walk away from the sale because she was blocked by the NBA from moving the franchise to St. Louis, where he also owns the NHL St. Louis Blues and the Kiel Center arena.

Straglers getting best hoops seats
Continued from page 1B
O'Bryan said. He said he thought the events staff filled the seats this way because it didn't want to take the time to have people move down a few rows.
Members of his group have asked if they can move forward to fill the extra seats and have been given a variety of responses including, "It's too much of a hassle to have everyone move forward so we don't do that" and "I want to give people who normally don't get to sit this close the opportunity to do so." he said.

When extra seats remain in the wheelchair attendants' area, fieldhouse policy says students should be asked to move forward to fill the seats, Cook said.
died surprised Darren Cook, director of football for athletics.
In addition, Cook said the seats were not supposed to be used for special events. At last Saturday's game against Nebraska, however, the men's golf team was being presented with the Big 12 Conference Championship trophy during halftime. The team was given the seats in the front rows. The golfers sat down for the entire game, and some students threw
newspaper at the them.
Cook said the team should not have been given these seats. It should have been placed in Sections 13 or 13 B, which are reserved for recruits and special situations. Recruits aren't even given seats in the front of the student sections because coach Roy Williams requested they be reserved for student use. Cook said that he would speak to the events staff and that he expected all problems to be corrected immediately.
"The people we want courtside are ones who are loud and excited," Cook said. "It's great for the team, the students and the University."
