HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
You're lucky right now, and it's a good thing, too, because somebody seems to be out to get you. This person takes offense at almost everything you say, especially in April. In May, it not so bad, but do watch your pocketbook. You'll have a chance to spend more than you have, but let it go by. Save up for an adventure in December instead, and a reunion with old friends next February.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 5.
Looks like a good day to spend money on something you've been wanting for ages. You've probably been saved up, but may not have quite enough yet. If you pool your resources with another person, you could have it sooner instead of later, which is not a bad idea
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 21-May 20): Today is a 5.
Looks like you're going to do pretty well today, eventually. It's not going to look like that for a while, however. It will initially appear that your every move is blocked. Just stay on course and don't take no for an answer.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
Be careful if you're pushing hard at work today. There could be an accident, and you don't want it to happen to You. Also, watch out for the other people, especially anybody dealing with caustic materials or poisons. You want to move quickly. Advise your friends to be cautious.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a B.
This is a much better day for you in many ways, but there is one little problem, still — an authority figure who seems to enjoy learning on your. It exasperating, but today it won't be too bad. Looks like this person is in a frivolous mood. Not a good day to ask for more money, though.
Leo (Julv 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
June 23-25 Aug. 22). Today is a bit.
The desire to stay home in bed will be very strong
today, but you probably won't get away with it. You
might later wish that you had, however. Looks like a clash with a partner could put you in a blue mood. It can only be temporary, though, since it is Friday.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): today is a o.
Looks like you’re under a quite b of pressure at work, and the pace is quick. Unfortunately, you need to stop and read the manual, but you don’t really have the time. Your best bet may be to call someone who already knows instead of trying to figure it out yourself.
LUDA Sep. 25 2019
You work hard for your money, and today some of that hard work is going to finally pay off. If you've done a very good job on a recent assignment, you'll be rewarded with not only more money, but also more respect. Hold out for that respect. It's the most important part.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
You may have to dig in your heels today. Another person wants to change the procedure, but you know what will work best. You've been through this routine before. Let your experience prevail, but don't totally squash another's enthusiasm. With both, you're a formidable team.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
You're under increased pressure to prove you know what you're talking about, prove you know where you're going, prove your love, whatever. It's bound to come up today.
Don't try to wiggle out of it. It's part of your education. Just let people know where you stand and you'll do fine.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
You have friends in high places, and today they're encouraging you to try new things. You want to comply, but feel a certain reluctance, especially if there's danger involved. Caution is warranted. There could be a breakdown, and you don't want it to cost you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
A stern authority figure is going to give you fits today if you don't go along with the program. Unfortunately, you can't. You can see there's a problem, but you may not know exactly what it is yet. You might be helping today simply by applying the brakes.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
There's a conflict of interest today between something you want to do that's an adventure, and something you feel you have to do that's closer to home. This is not a good day to take risks anyway, so put off the adventure until tomorrow.
Vanderbilt hires former Kansas assistant coach
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt hired Kevin Stallings of Illinois state as men's basketball coach yesterday. Stallings, 29, called the job "a new
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"It's well documented that I've been offered other openings in the past few years, but
this is the best fit at the best time," he said. "Everything is in place to have enormous success at Vanderbilt."
Stallings had a 123-63 record at Illinois State, and took the Redbirds to the NCAA tournament in 1997 and 1998.
"Kevin Stallings has proven himself to be one of the best coaches in the country," Vandy athletic director Todd Turner said. "His desire to come to Vanderbilt further illustrates our commitment to have a championship basketball program."
Stallings played for Purdue from 1980-82, then started his coaching career as an assistant there under Gene Keady. He stayed there for six seasons before becoming an assistant at Kansas from 1989-93, then got his first head coaching assignment at Illinois State.
Stallings replaces Jan van Breda Koiff, who resigned.
WSU athletic director to retire this summer
WICHITA — Bill Belknap, athletic director at Wichita State University since 1993, announced his retirement yesterday, effective June 30.
Belknap, who recently turned 60,
said he was retiring because his age
would not allow him to make a long-
term commitment to the administration
of Donald Beggs, who took over
as president Jan. 1.
"It's a reasonably good time for me to retire, and I think it's an appropriate time for the university," Belknap
said. "One of the things that I took into consideration was the change in administration, because I was unable to make a long-term commitment to the new president, Don Beggs.
"I didn't think that it was particularly fair to stay based on that, and after I thought about it, the fairest thing was to tell him, seek his counsel and to give him the opportunity to select his own person."
bunknap, who originally wanted to retire in December, said his decision was unrelated to turmoil involving the men's basketball team and star player Maurice Evans.
Belknap took action against coach Randy Smithson after Evans left the team Jan. 26 for eight days, complaining that players felt demeaned
and isolated by the coaching staff. A university investigation ordered by
Beggs found that Smithson had violated NCAA practice limits. Smithson was reprimanded, his contract was not routinely extended as it had been and he and his coaches were not given pay raises. Practices were ordered below NCAA limits.
Coach changes mind twice about Georgia
ATHENS, Ga. — Jim Harrick changed his mind twice yesterday, deciding after a surreal day of back-and-forth to accept the job as Georgia's basketball coach.
On Wednesday, Harrick took the job at Georgia, only to announce Thursday morning that he had changed his mind because of family concerns and would remain at Rhode Island, where he coached the past two seasons.
In the afternoon, after flying back to Providence and consulting with his family, Harrick changed his mind again, saying he wanted to join the Bulldogs after all. Then it was up to Georgia officials to decide if they wanted Harrick back.
Michael Adams, a close friend of Harrick, and athletic director Vince Dooley, who was touring Civil War battlefields in Virginia with his grandson, decided to stick with their original choice.
"I would not have understood or accepted any reason other than family," Dooley said during a conference call. "I believe strongly in that, and I've come to admire coach Harrick even more because of his deep feeling for family."
After consulting for just more than an hour by telephone, university president
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brett Favre, who once protested when the NFL made him refrain from drinking, now is making a conscious effort to abstain from alcohol.
Packers Favre making effort to resist alcohol
The Packers quarterback underwent rehabilitation for an addiction to painkillers three years ago. Afterwards, he complained that it was unfair that the NFL had banned him from drinking as part of its rehabilitation program.
The three-time NFL MVP said in an interview with the Green Bay Press-Gazette published yesterday that the decision was based on reasons that were both personal and professional.
He said his decision to quit drinking wasn't related to that, but rather to a desire to have a long and productive career and to be a good family man.
Pro baseball jerseys may provide ad space
NEW YORK — Major league baseball officials are considering allowing teams to sell advertising on the sleeves of the uniforms. The ads, first reported this week by the Sports Business Journal, could be on one to 1.1/2-inch square patches — perhaps too small to be easily seen from the upper deck, but certainly big enough to be picked up in TV closeups and photographs.
Although shoes and equipment such as bats and gloves carry brand names and logos, ads on uniforms apparently would be a first for the four
major U.S. team sports. Currently, the only corporate marking on baseball uniforms is an "R" for Russell Athletic, the manufacturer of the jerseys.
NCAA could change eligibility standards
New drug testing rules adopted for swimmers
The NCAA said it had been studying modifications in its minimum standards for months before U.S. District Judge Ronald Buckwalter ruled in Philadelphia that relying on test scores "has an unjustified disparate impact against African Americans."
The NC100AO hopes to have modifications of the standards in place by Sept. 1, said Penn State president Graham B. Spanier, chairman of the NCAA Division I Board of Directors.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NCAA said it could have changes ready in freshman eligibility standards by September that likely would place less weight on the standardized test scores.
HONG KONG — Swimming's governing body adopted new rules in an effort to make it harder for drug cheats to evade detection and punishment.
FINA Officials also said swimmers at the world short-course championships in Hong Kong this week would be asked to give blood samples voluntarily to a group studying ways to detect illegal use of growth hormones to improve performance.
The standards — which include minimum scores on the SAT or ACT, a core group of high school courses and a minimum grade point average in that core — remain in effect after the 3rd U.S. Court of Appeals issued a stay of Buckwalters ruling on Tuesday.
The tests will be separate from those normally carried out at swimming competitions, and the results will be kept confidential.
