HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
You're certainly looking good this year, and you should be feeling marvelous. Push yourself to try something new. By the end of March, you should know what you want, so in April you can invest in it. There's more to learn in May, and you'll be getting more attention in August. By November, you should be ready to break out of your old habits. By December, you'll hardly recognize yourself. Keep radical ideas to yourself in February.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 6.
You're a very creative person now. You've been thinking about doing something colorful for quite a while, and the conditions are perfect right now. Don't wait any longer.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 6.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): today is a 6.
Get your planning out of the way. You'll have to be in the action phase sooner than you expected. Get your flight plan figured out so that if you have to wing it, you'll know where you're going.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
All is not as it appears. That's not much of a comfort.
Here you are, trying to figure out what's going on, and
you learn it's probably not what you think it is. That could
turn out to your advantage, however, so stay alert.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
You may find yourself beyond your safety zone,
almost by accident. You're probably asking yourself
how you got here. Something probably enticed you,
seduced you, hypnotized you, or all of the above. If
any of that is happening, relax.
Leo [July 23-Aug. 22]; Today is a 6.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) : Today is a 6.
It looks as if a hassle is just about talked through,
although you may feel you've been going around in circles. You've probably been ferreting out the truth,
and that's not always easy to do. If you have, congratulations. Your relationship with the people involved will be stronger.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
A partnership formed now could be exciting, creative and even quite lucrative. It'll be hard to know what to expect next, however. Even if you develop a routine, it'll be hard to stick to it. No problem. You can always develop a new one.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 6.
Try to keep yourself from getting too emotional or too excited today. A rumor you hear may be just that, a rumor, and not even true. Don't go racing off and getting upset until you get proof. Reporters need to corroborate a story from three different sources, remember? You can do that, too, and you should.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 6.
You'll probably be in a very good mood today until a co-worker refuses to go along with your suggestion.
This might even be someone who's working for you, which is even more irritating. Instead of getting cranky, be patient. You can outwait this rebellion.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
It looks as if you're finally fixing things up the way you want them to be and the way the person who shares your environment wants them to be, too. This is kind of an awkward situation since your tastes differ, but don't spend all day quarrelling about it. Get it done so that you can go do something else.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
Position yourself for a stroke of genius today. If you study best in the middle of a chaotic environment, that's where you should be. If you need a quiet library setting, then scoot yourself over there. You're apt to come up with something marvelous.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Money is not your major concern today, although it does look as if what you're doing could generate some. You seem more concerned with competition.
Perhaps you've got an argument going with a person you find mildly threatening. Don't focus on that.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) : Today is a 6.
A lucky break could come today, and it could make you richer. It's probably not the lottery. More likely, it's an older person's generosity. You may have thought that this person didn't even like you, but you were sure wrong about that.
HAINES CITY, Fla. — The Kansas City Royals trimmed the training camp roster to 55 yesterday by reassigning five players, including outfielders Mark Quinn, who was optioned to Triple-A Omaha.
Royals send players to minors to cut roster

SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Rodman absence fuels speculation of problems
Lakers representative Tom Savage said earlier in the day that Rodman was on an excused, indefinite leave of absence and is being paid his $12,195 per-game salary.
LOS ANGELES
— A source close to Dennis Rodman says the seven-time NBA rebounding champion will return to the Los Angeles Lakers after dealing with personal problems unrelated to basketball. When he will
Rodman: Will return to Lakers after dealing with personal problems
addressing his problems and looks forward to returning and contributing to the team."
"I don't know. I can't address that," the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Monday. "He's
The source said Rodman appreciated the support he has received from the Lakers and wouldn't comment on the nature of the 37-year-old forward's difficulties.
return is uncertain.
"There are a lot of different rumors about different problems he might be addressing," the source said. "However, I think it could be hurtful to speculate on them. It's important he addresses them privately. He's trying to wrestle with them and go on."
The Lakers confirmed Sunday that Rodman missed practice the day before and didn't travel with the team to Sacramento for Sunday night's game against the Kings — the opener of a six-game road trip in nine days.
"Dennis does love to entertain. But right now, he needs some privacy."
When asked about an ESPN report that Rodman was seen gambling in Las Vegas on Sunday night, the source only would say, "He spent some time out of town. He's back in the Los Angeles area."
TORONTO — John Calipari, whose season began with strong hopes and quickly turned to "misery" with a 3-17 start, is out as coach of the New Jersey Nets.
Nets fire head coach after lackluster start
He was fired Monday after just 2
1/2 years and replaced by assistant
Don Casey, whose stint begins with
tonight's game against the Toronto
Raptors.
"I'll say this about pro basketball: If you're a good group of guys and you're winning, there is no better gig in the world," Calipari said. "But if you're losing and you have a few bad seeds, I can't explain to you misery like that."
Casey was appointed interim coach while the Nets pursue former Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson. Jackson has said
Calipari had two years and $6 million remaining on his five-year, $15 million contract. He was offered a consulting job with the team, although he did not say if he would take it.
The Nets also fired assistant coaches Johnny Davis, Kenny Gattison and Jack Haley.
With his team beset by poor play and injuries and his players unhappy with his "in your face" style of coaching, Calipari's ouster had been widely anticipated.
he would like to return to the NBA,
but it's unclear if he's interested in
the Nets or would move up his timetable to coach this season.
"He was trying so hard to change his style," team owner Lewis Katz said. "I don't know that there was a determining factor, but it was pretty obvious that he was in his misery as he watched the season slip away when there had been such high expectations at the start of the season."
Katz and co-owner Finn Wentworth met with Calipari after Sunday's 102-76 nationally televised loss at Miami. Calipari didn't accompany the team to Toronto but flew separately to inform the players of the decision.
