HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
You can make your future secure this year by devising a financial plan. Help is available in March, but you may be distracted. In April, heed your rich friend's advice. Learn new habits by May. Your work brings you confidence in August. Plant your treasure in fettle soil in September. Take a trip in November for the excitement of it, and so you'll be ready for changes in December. A bureaucrat could surprise you in February.
Aries: Today is a 6.
You're in a feisty mood and with good reason. Your authority is being challenged. Losing your temper is not a good idea. It could cast you plenty. Instead, listen and learn. Let others know you understand the point they're trying to get across.
Taurus: Today is a 5.
If you don't feel acknowledged for what you've done you could get into a bad mood. Watch out for that today. The problem would be work-related, and the argument would be with your spouse. If you catch yourself doing it, just apologize.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Think about the possible consequences before you take action today. Although things seem easy on the surface, there's something to consider beneath the surface. Somebody who's urging you to act quickly may have an ulterior motive.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You would have to clone yourself today to comply with all the requests being made of you. Since that's unlikely to happen, you may have to practice another skill instead. Just say no. There may be whispering, but don't buckle under. Stand up for yourself!
Leo: Today is a 5.
The good news is that you could finally make contact today with a distant friend. Your love will be as strong as the last time you saw each other. The bad news is that you can't meet quite yet. You can make plans, though, and you should.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
Your brilliant insight could solve the problem. That's the good news. The bad news is that this whole deal might cost you more than you had budgeted. Give yourself time. You're learning as you go along, and sometimes that's expensive. Deduct it under "education."
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Your love life is doing well, but you may wonder where you'll get the money. "They say it's more important to have love, but you'd rather have both than choose between them. Well, they also say if you do what you love, the money will follow. Try that.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You're getting more powerful as you gain information. You're in a position to find out what's going on behind the scenes, so do that first. Don't be impatient to act. Your first impulse may not be your wisest move. Let the other guy try it first, to see what happens.
You're getting smarter and more skillful at your specialty.
That's because you've been practicing. You can have another breakthrough today if you keep at it. You may be starting to feel pressure, but don't be dismayed. If you keep doing the homework, you'll do fine on the test.
Capricorn; Today is a 6.
Get a special gift for a loved one today. It'll make up for the fact that you can't spend much time together. Your schedule is completely overbooked. That's a rotten situation to be in, but make the best of it. Maybe you can reschedule one of your appointments for the weekend.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You could get a great opportunity to advance today but it might mean giving up something to get something better. When it comes down to happening or not, it's kind of hard to let go of the familiar and try something new. You don't have to decide right now
Pisces: Today is a 6.
You're doing well today, but don't get cocky. You could learn something the hard way if you're not careful. An older person is trying to tell you what to do, in a rather obnoxious way. Instead of resisting, you ought to listen carefully, especially if money is involved.

Newspaper reports say Pitt will hire Howland
PITTSBURGH — The University of Pittsburgh will hire Ben Howland of Northern Arizona as its new basketball coach, according to newspaper reports.
Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson and Howland reached agreement Wednesday night, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and The Arizona Republic reported yesterday.
Northern Arizona (20-7) is competing today in the Big Sky Conference tournament in Ogden, Utah. Howland was to be introduced at Pitt on Monday.
Howland will get a five-year contract worth $375,000 to $400,000 a year, the Post-Gazette said. Howland makes $110,000 to $125,000 at Northern Arizona.
Melissa Andrews, a Pitt spokeswoman, said there would be no announcement on a new coach today.
Pitt lost to Rutgers 64-51 Wednesday night in the Big East Conference, ending with a 14-16 record.
Howland would replace Ralph Willard, who resigned last month after compiling a 63-77 record at Pitt.
Steve Holton, Northern Arizona's athletic director, said he had nothing to announce Wednesday night, but that the Lumberjacks were in the preliminary stages of a coaching search.
The Republic said Holton acknowledged that Jamie Dixon, an assistant at Hawaii and former assistant at Northern Arizona, has inquired about the job. "He is definitely somebody we’re considering," Holton said.
JUPITER, Fla. — Eric Davis delivered his first clutch hit for the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday, not that it showed up in any box score.

instead, his single gave the Bob Gibsons a victory against the Stan Musials in an intrasquid game and earned his side a nice reward — an extra day off during spring training.

Musial was not at the park and neither was Gibson. Next week, Gibson is expected at camp to work with St. Louis pitchers, and La Russa said he would make sure the Hall of Famer knew his team had won.
"We'll put a suitable trophy in his locker." La Russa said.
Players on the losing team had to make two of the Cardinals' three longest spring bus trips — there's a 140-mile ride to Haines City to play Kansas City and a pair of 110-mile swings to Viera to play Florida.
- There was an earlier intrasquad game featuring many of the younger Cardinals, and that one also had consequences.
J. D. Drew homered in that game, but it was waved off — again, anything goes in spring training — when it was decided his team had used too many hitters.
Drew's team lost, ensuring the prized rookie a scenic tour of Florida.
"The young guys need the trips," La Russa said, "It's good for them."
A crowd of about 300 was drawn to Roger Dean Stadium by the chance to see McGwire play for free. The souvenir stand opened for business and did well with several McGwire items, including a model bat selling for $75.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Marc Rosset, showing the strain of playing seven consecutive tournaments, lost to Canada's Daniel Nestor 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 yesterday in the second round of the Copenhagen Open.

erful serve-and-volley game. But he botched easy shots during the match, especially with his forehand.
"I feel quite tired," said Rosset, the top seed from Switzerland. "I need a break. Now I'm going skiing."
Nestor has played well lately, reaching the quarterfinals in Memphis, Tenn., and the semifinals in a Challenger event at Amarillo, Texas, last week.
The fast carpet suits Rosset's pow-
Also reaching the quarters were qualifier Max Mimiy of Belarus, who edged No. 8 seed Gianluca Pozzi of Italy, winning 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (7-3). Byron Black, the second seed from Zimbabwe, gained the last eight with a 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 6-3 victory over Nicklas Kutti of Sweden.
Also, Sebastien Grojosean of France beat Federick Fetterlin of Denmark 6-2, 7-5. Fetterlein, ranked 686th in the world, upset last year's finalist David Prinosil of Germany in the first round.
Defending champion Magnus Gustafson of Sweden struggled to a 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 7-5 win over South African Neville Godwin in another second-round match.
Stiles player of the year in the Missouri Valley
DES MOINES, Iowa — Southwest Missouri State guard Jackie Stiles, the first player in the Missouri Valley Conference to score 1,000 points by her sophomore season, is the league's player of the year.
Stiles scored 24 points in the Lady Bears' 73-58 victory against Southern Illinois on Friday. That brings her career total to 1,363.
Kathi Bennett, who has guided Evansville to a 16-10 record and the No.4 seed in Purple Aces' first appearance in the postseason tournament, was named coach of the year in the voting by league coaches, sports information directors and a media panel.
Evansville was 1-17 last year.
Eight of 10 MVC teams qualified for the tournament, which started Friday at Drake's Knapp Center.
