HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 5):
You're usually a workaholic, but this year you might decide to have a little fun. Make your plans in May, and start saving in June. Late July is your best time for a move. In late October, the workload picks up, but the money should be good, so don't worry about it. December is full of surprises; as usual, some of them are old, familiar ones. A person you disagree with forces you to learn in February.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 5.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 5.
Just when you've figured you're the best, you have to re-evaluate matters. If you team up with a partner today, you'll be much more effective, although you may not know who that is yet. The person who's best for you is almost your mirror image, and that's what makes him or her so hard to recognize.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is an 8.
Just when you thought it was time to relax, the work load increases. You'll be forced to be creative during the next few weeks, but that's OK. You do well under pressure. Don't think you're not good enough. You are.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 5.
If you've been thinking about doing something romantic but haven't had the nerve to speak up yet, you'd better watch out. Today, you're liable to say it whether you mean to or not.
Cancer (June 22- July 22): Today is a 6.
Mars is going retrograde into Libra today, in your solar fourth house of home and family. When Mars is retrograde, it can cause delays or postponement of action you've planned. So if that happens during the next few weeks, don't despair. It's only a temporary condition.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
You learn best by reading, and you'll learn even more by rereading something. The classics? Could be. How about digging them out and starting on them again? You might find something new.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Today is a 7.
You'll be getting moneyowed to you during the next few weeks. You'll do it by becoming assertive. No point in being Mr. or Ms. Nice Guy anymore.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 5.
Libra (Sep. 23 - Oct. 23): Today is a 9.
You have new energy, enthusiasm, spontaneity and creativity. Don't be surprised if the ideas you come up with are ideas you've had before. But now, take action on them.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 6.
You might start second-guessing what you're doing. Are you in the right job? Are you doing it correctly? Don't let it inhibit you completely. Just plan more precisely.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
Where you were a spectator before, now you want to become actively involved. You've stood by as others didn't do it right, but those days are done.
For the next few weeks, you'll make so much noise, you might end up leading the pack.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 7.
You will have career opportunities, and you may go back to something you've done before. Old skills will definitely be useful. If you don't have the old skills because you're just starting out, don't despair. You're gaining valuable skills right now.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
You'll be more likely to take action during the next couple of weeks, and that could include travel. You'll probably go to a place you've been before.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 7.
You might make some shrewd deals during the coming weeks. It looks as if you'll be willing to take action, but do the homework first. Don't be impetuous. Take only calculated risks, and you'll do well.

SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Cubans return victorious after game with Orioles
HAVANA — A beaming President Fidel Castro and hundreds of screaming children greeted the victorious Cuban baseball team as it returned home yesterday after beating the Orioles in Baltimore.
"This was a truly historic event, "Castro said during a long speech on the steps of the University of Havana. "For a long time we have wanted to measure the advances in our sport, to know what would happen if such a game was held."
What Cubans saw, he said, were first-class baseball players with spirits of lions and tigers.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Thousands of baseball fans crammed the streets leading to the university to
greet the hometown heroes as they arrived from the airport in open Jeeps, waving at the crowd. The players dressed identically in light cotton shirts and ties, slacks and beige jackets.
At the university, first baseman Omar Linares thanked Castro for his support for the game, a rematch after the Orioles defeated the Cuban players in Havana 3-2 in 11 innings on March 28.
"Cubal Cubal!" the fans chanted, some waving the red, white and blue Cuban flag.
"Dear commander in chief, the mission you gave us has been completed," said a smiling Linares before hugging the leader, "Socialism or death! Patriotism or death! We will overcome!"
Earlier at the airport, the Cuban leader personally greeted Linares and Cuban umpire Calves, who tackled an anti-Castro protester who
ran onto the field with a political banner during the game.
During a speech that stretched more than three hours, Castro criticized sports agents who attempt to persuade Cuban athletes to defect and blasted the focus on money in American sports.
The International Olympic Committee's executive board said it had "no new element" of evidence to justify further action against Kim Unyong, a board member and international sports power-broker.
But the board said there was, enough new information to extend its investigation of a second leading member, Australia's Phil Coles, who like Kim had received a severe warning from an earlier inquiry.
But he gave no indication that any of the more than 300 members of the Cuban delegation had stayed behind, even though Baltimore police said Rigoberto Herrera, a member of the Cuban delegation that attended the game, walked into a police station yesterday and requested asylum.
"They go around the world buying athletes. They go around buying scientists and artists. It is very difficult to compete with that." Castro said. "We have to fight against these attempts to buy off our athletes."
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Olympic leaders closed the case yesterday against the highest-ranking official caught in the Salt Lake City bribery scandal.
IOC closes investigation against board member
"I think and I hope this case will be settled by the IOC's June session in Seoul," IOC president Juan Antonio Samarran said.
Coles could face expulsion from the IOC if the investigation finds he violated more rules.
It appointed a three-member panel to report its latest findings by June 13.
Ferguson, a 6-foot-5 guard, backed out of his Indiana commitment two weeks ago.
adding that Cole may be called to appear before the new panel, made up of board members Keba Mbaye, Anita DeFrantz and Marc Hodler.
His father, Neil, said the decision was made partly because Recker was transferring and partly because Coach Bobby Knight was wavering on whether the school's scholarship offer to Ferguson would be honored.
Kevan Gosper, an executive board member from Australia, said a decision could come sooner than that.
HOOVER, Aia. — Trey Ferguson, a top basketball recruit who reneged on a verbal commitment to Indiana after Hoosier star Luke Recker left the school, has committed to Tennessee Tech.
Kim had risked expulsion if it was proved he knew that Salt Lake biders helped pay for his son's salary at a telecommunications company.
He was put under renewed scrutiny after his ex-wife claimed that representatives of Athens' unsuccessful bid for the 1996 Olympics gave the couple jewelry worth $6,000. He consistently denied the claims and refused to resign.
New evidence emerged yesterday when Australian media said Salt Lake City had obtained confidential briefing notes by Coles on how other IOC members could be trusted to vote.
All the allegations will be subject to "a single investigation and a single decision," Mbaye said.
"I'm not going to say Luke transferring was the only reason, but I know it put some doubt in Trey's mind," Niel Ferguson said at the time. "Trey believed if anyone would be happy at Indiana, it would be Luke. He said it just made him wonder. He said with Luke leaving, something just didn't feel right."
Touted recruit commits to Tennessee Tech
Trey Ferguson had originally planned to attend prep school in New Hampshire this fall and join the Hoosiers for the 2000-01 season.
Ferguson will go directly to Tennessee Tech, which he chose instead of Rutgers and Penn State.
