HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 14).
You have superhero powers this year. Use them wisely. You'll get a chance to show off in April, and you'll be magnificent. Help out a friend with good advice instead of money in May. A lucky break leads to just what you were seeking in June. Make sure a solid structure is in place by the end of August. Stash your money in a safe place in November, and return to a familiar scenario in December. Friendship leads to love in February, and the hunch in March is right.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 9.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
Arnes (March 21-April 19): Today is a 9.
You're a natural cheerleader today. You're so full of vim and vigor that you you're practically overflowing.
Don't forget how powerful you are, though. If you get too rambunctious, you could accidentally hurt somebody.
Taurus 20-april 20: Today is a 5. The heat is really on right now. You need to perform brilliantly. Just rely on what you already know. Your experience will help you get through this. A good partner wouldn't hurt, either.
Gemini (Mav 21-June 21): Todav is a 7.
You're a good team player, and today your team is outrageous. You'll be lucky to keep up with some of them. You may not have to, either. Just cheer them on to victory, and relish the glory when the job is done and the game is won.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 5.
Carter 22 July 2023, today is 10:00.
Today, there could be a pop quiz, a big test, with lots riding on it such as your future success, for example.
That includes how much money you'll be making and whether you'll be doing work that you like. Trust your first guess.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is an 8.
This is a good day for travel, for playing games and for love, not necessarily in that order. There will be a couple of surprises, but that just adds to the fun. Mainly, get out and stretch your legs, your imagination and your heart.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
Virga (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
Financial abundance can be yours, but not entirely all by yourself. In other words, you'll find much more if you have somebody else on your side. By putting your resources together, where once there was dearth, now there will be plethora.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 7.
Partnerships are very important to you, but one that's available today may be kind of scary. The other person's sc important or so powerful. How could he or she like you? Don't shy away. You may look better than you realize.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
Your workload could get very intense today. Take care. As the pace picks up, the chance of accidents increases, too. You're very careful, normally, but not everybody is. Watch out for impetuous fools.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 7.
You ought to be in a fabulous mood today. It looks as if there's love everywhere in your life. You may even decide to make a commitment, although that's rare for a Sagittarius to do. But heck, if you do it now, it should work out marvelously. So, take the plunge.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
With the sun and moon both in Aries, there's bound to be lots of activity at your place. Are you having the scout troop there for a camput or something? There's bound to be plenty of surprises, too, but watch out for accidents. Maybe you'd better post the speed limit in the hallways.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 7.
Aquarius {Jan. 20-Feb. 18}: Today is a 7.
You're probably one of the most intelligent people you know, and it's partially because you like to do homework. Well, today you can take all that homework you've done, put it in a big pile and light it on fire. Use what you've already learned in a new and different way for a burst of creativity.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20); Today is a 5.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
You could do quite well today financially, but this is a double-edged sword. If you're feeling really flush, you could buy so many gifts that you end up in the hole anyway. Don't celebrate by going into debt.

Surgery for pitcher considered a success
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals' right-hander Matt Morris underwent surgery in Los Angeles yesterday to repair his pitching elbow. The surgery was considered a success.
Morris had a 95 percent tear of the medial collateral ligament of his elbow, making the injury worse than expected, team spokesman Brad Hainie said.
"Once they got in there, they said it was a good thing that they went ahead with the surgery." Hainie said.
ahead for the surgery'. Hamile said.
Los Angeles Dodgers' physician and arm specialist Dr. Frank Jobe performed the surgery on Morris. Jobe, with assistance from Cardinals' team physician George Paletta, took a tenon from the palm of Morris' hand and implanted it into his elbow.
The surgery is scary for pitchers because it has ended some careers and turned terrific pitchers into mediocre ones. Morris, 24, acknowledged he had concerns.
"You're everything — nervous, scared, anxious, every word you can come up with," he said. "But I pretty much just want to get it over with. I can't go forward until I get it done. I just want to get the surgery done, start recuperating and move on."
The Cardinals were counting on Morris to be their No. 1 starter. He was 7-5 with a 2.53 ERA in 1998, when he missed all but one start before the All-Star break with a shoulder injury.
Doctors said Morris wouldn't return until the start of spring training.

Minneapolis North High School's gym was packed Monday with stu-
"This is my home, and I'm proud of being from here, and the people here are just showing me so much support, and I’m very thankful for it," ElAmin said.
El-Amin graduated from Minneapolis North High School in 1997 after leading the Polars to three consecutive state high school basketball championships. He helped Connecticut beat Duke 77-74 for the national championship on March 29.
El-Amin, who is majoring in broadcast journalism, plans to bypass the NBA draft and return to college for his junior year. El-Amin told the crowd he hoped to lead the Huskies to another national title.
LAS VEGAS — Former WBC heavyweight champion Oliver McCall wants to get back in the ring when he completes a one-year jail sentence for a battery and assault conviction.
"I can't hide from the past. I have to accept what I have been through and learn from my mistakes to move forward with my life," said McCall, who is scheduled to be released from a jail in Martinsville, Va., about May 1.
"I am resolved to the fact I have a great deal of work ahead of me to earn back the respect and trust of promoters, fighters, the athletic commissions and boxing fans."
Former boxing champ wants to fight again
The statement was issued through Las Vegas-based Rogig Communications Group, which represents McCall's promoter, Don King.
McCall knocked out Lennox Lewis for the WBC title in September 1994, then defended the title against Larry Holmes in 1995. He lost the title to Frank Bruno in a 12-round decision.
He met Lewis again in February 1997 but stopped throwing punches in the middle of the third round. Referee Mills Lane halted the fight in the fifth round, awarding the win to Lewis.
McCall was suspended and fined by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his actions.
He was convicted Oct.14, 1997, on battery and assault charges involving a police officer.
Overtime goal clinches playoff spot for Oilers
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Edmonton's Tom Poti seemed mystified by the sudden turn of events.
"I was just trying not to mess up defensively," the Oilers' defenseman said after his overtime goal had given his team a 5-4 victory against San Jose and clinched a playoff berth for Edmonton.
The Oilers won the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot and will play Dallas in the first round. Poti scored from 1.5 feet away with 1:05 left in overtime and lifted the Oilers to victory in a game in which they twice came from behind in the final period.
"I saw the chance to jump in offensively, and it paid off," said Poti, who has scored five goals this season. "San Jose wasn't covering me too tight on the point, so I sneaked in, bolted to the net, and he (Doug Weight) put the puck right on my stick, and it went into the net."
"I've never seen anything like that before. We just kept coming back. It was unbelievable."
San Jose coach Daryl Sutter, whose Sharks have clinched the 7.0 West-ern Conference playoff spot, thought his team didn't play a smart game.
"We spent a lot of time killing penalties in the last period, and we weren't able to bring our energy level back up to Edmonton's," he said.
Edmonton goattender Tommy Salo was thrilled by his team's comeback
