HOROSCOPES
Todav's Birthday (Mav 6)
Safety is非常重要 (May Your good common sense could lead you to a promotion this year. Let people know about your experience in May, and show that you're willing to learn in June. Ask loved ones to your house in August, and take care of legal matters in late October and November. Diversity your portfolio in December, and tally up how much you've made in January. February is best for setting career goals, and something that happens in April could light a fire under you.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 4
The action is fast and furious today. Now you know why you practiced and did all that homework. The skills you perfected will serve you well, and the ones you haven't will be obvious. You love it when things are fast like this, especially if you're winning.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5 Travel beckons, but it looks like it's hard to actually get there. Perhaps you could do your business via phone or e-mail instead. You and a distant friend need to stay in close contact. You learn a lot from one other.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 5
You're going to have to work to get what you want today. It's not going to come easily, but then the best things seldom do. Or is that just an old wives' tale?
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 4
A sometimes tense discussion with a partner could result in more money coming your way. Is this a situation where the other guy owes you and has been reluctant to pay? Or are you wheedling to get a loan or an advance on your allowance?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5
Your workload is intense, partly because everything is moving so slowly. You're doing what you've always done, but it's taking twice as much time. Well, it's not all your fault. It's the conditions that are in effect. Be patient.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): it is a 5 People will be in edgy moods today — quick to lose their tempers, wanting things immediately. And they'll be moving too fast and not watching where they're going.
Libra (Seat. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 4
There have been a lot of changes in the last few days, but you're starting to settle down to a routine again. Hopefully it's the one you wanted. If not, you'd better put in the corrections quickly, because the cement will set before long. If you're going to compromise, compromise for love.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5
It'll be hard to get much accomplished today. There are a lot of things in fixed signs, and that slows things down. Everybody wants to deliberate. They want to think about it until tomorrow. This condition will be in effect through tomorrow.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5
Practical matters demand your attention today, but that's OK. You're in a practical mood. You're usually lucky, getting what you want without much effort, but that won't be the case today. You're going to have to plan and scheme.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 4
You work hard for your money, so hold onto it. Defi
nately do not invest in a risky proposition today.
Instead, be cautious about spending any money at
all.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5
This is a good day to make practical decisions
considering your home or family. That could also include
shopping for real estate. If you've been thinking
about making a move or a change to your home, do
the research now. You don't have to take action yet.
Save that for later. Don't rush into anything.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5
If you're stifled by a seemingly impossible task, but don't despair. Instead, call up an older friend who's been through this a thousand times before. You don't have to reinvent the wheel, so don't even try. It's not worth your time.
Rodman settles suit assault charges in L.A.
LOS ANGELES — Dennis Rodman and a college student have reached a settlement in a civil lawsuit that accused the former Los Angeles Lakers forward of assault.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
"It was a fair settlement for my client, and it was substantial," said Dan Conforti, the student's lawyer. He would not disclose the amount of the deal, which was reached Tuesday evening with Rodman's

Court suit alleged Rodman "unjustifiably, physically struck and terrorized" the Long Beach State student after he and his fraternity friends pointed out Rodman at the Fat Burger fast-food restaurant.
The Los Angeles Superior
The suit also had claimed Rodman, who was waived by the Lakers in April, threatened to have Los Angeles gang members go after the group if they didn't leave the site.
Criminal charges have not been filed against the player, Conforti said.
Rodman's lawyer, Marty Singer, who was reached before confirmation of the settlement, said he could not comment on the suit. He did not immediately return additional phone messages placed later Tuesday night regarding the settlement.
Vikings coach seeks state-financed center
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings owner Red McCombs said the team must have updated facilities to do business in the "real world."
McCombs, a longtime auto dealer, compared the Metrodome to a car dealership that hasn't been renovated while its competitors in the marketplace have modernized.
and truck dealers. "That is not a Red McCombs problem — that is up to the people of Minneapolis."
McCombs said that he related to the hesitancy to support publicly financed sports facilities. As a car dealer, McCombs said he always had been slow to build new showrooms.
But he insisted that the Vikings must have a stadium with more club seats and luxury boxes. The Metrodome, which also is home to the Minnesota Twins and the University of Minnesota football team, has 115 private suites owned by the Vikings.
"I always tried to milk the last dime out of what I paid for," McCombs said.
McCombs' sales pitch has yet to sway many state legislators. Gov. Jesse Ventura also has said on a number of occasions that he opposes public financing for sports venues.
"We're going to have to have a facility fix," said McCombs Tuesday in a speech to about 200 Minnesota auto
CONCORD, N.C. — With flags at half staff, Lowe's Motor Speedway returned to the business of racing yesterday, holding a test for Winston Cup cars on the track where three spectators died last weekend.
McCombs said the stadium effort began with surveys showing 75 percent opposed, but passed with 53 percent voting in favor. The key was getting support from politicians and the local media, McCombs said.
More than two dozen teams from stock car racing's top circuit showed up for the start of the two-day test session, which had been scheduled well in advance of Saturday night's Indy Racing League event.
Winston Cup restarts despite fatal accident
A three-car crash in that race at speeds near 215 mph sent a tire and suspension parts flying into the stands, killing three and injuring eight, including one critically.
The accident prompted speedway officials to consider canceling the Winston Cup test, but they elected to proceed mainly because the session, booked by General Motors for its teams, was closed to the public. No spectators were allowed in the stands.
Twenty minutes into the practice session, Michael Waltrip's Chevrolet spun violently through the third turn and slammed off the fourth-turn retaining wall, about 200 yards from where Saturday night's wreck occurred.
"We felt it was in everybody's best interests to move on," said track spokesman Jerry Gappens.
Waltrip wasn't injured, but the crash served as an eerie reminder of recent events.
"Our hearts go out to the folks who lost their lives and their families and the people who were injured," three-time Winston Cup champion Jeff Gordon said as he prepared to go out for his first test run. "But we know that Charlotte Motor Speedway, the IRL and really everybody in motorsports is going to come together and do
whatever they can to improve the situation to make sure that doesn't hap pen again."
Mystics pick Holdsclaw at WNBA No.1 spot
Holdswil, a four-time All-American who led Tennessee to three consecutive national titles, was the No. 1 pick by the Washington Mystics in Tuesday's WNBA draft.
She is Tennessee's career scoring leader, surpassing Allan Houston with 3,025 points.
Holdswil, a two-time national player of the year, was selected first even though pro players from the defunct American Basketball League were included in the draft. Holdswil was the only college player drafted in the first round.
"She's the player of the present and the player of the future for our league," said WNBA president Val Ackerman. "Her eventual appeal could rival what Michael Jordan was able to do over his long career."
"A casual basketball fan who hasn't quite turned on to women's basketball may be won over because of Chamique — her mystique, what she does on the court, the whole package."
NEW YORK — The WNBA is banking on Chamique Holdswclaw to be the crossover player of the 21st century.
"Washington is where my grandmother wanted me to play," said Hold-sclaw, a native New Yorker. "I'm kind of glad I didn't go to New York, because I don't know if I could handle all the pressure and friends and fans."
Former ABL player Yolanda Griffith was the No. 2 pick, going to the Sacramento Monarchs.
Griffith, the 1998 ABL defensive player of the year, averaged 17.2 points and 12.3 rebounds for the Chicago Condors. She's looking forward to playing with Sacramento's Ruthie Bolton-Holifield.
