HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday: (Feb. 19)
This year the focus is on money and education. You'll learn more about money this year, or use the money you have to finance college. You're very lucky with money this year. It comes from both nearby and far away, and it comes from luck as well as doing your job. Heed a Scarpio's advice in March. Show how thrifty you can be during the summer. Travel looks good in October and November; also, overseas investments should pay off. Your career takes a strange twist in December.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is an 8.
You've got a tail wind today. It's a combination of a push of support and a bit of pressure because you're a little behind on something you promised. So although you're moving quickly, there may be some anxiety going on simultaneously. That's fine. You tend to use anxiety as a motivator, and it's a good one.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
Tuesdays (April 20-24) today to 9:30
Looks like people are coming up with all kinds of won
derful ideas today. The only trouble is they want you
to do way too much of the work. That's your assess-
ment of the situation anyway, most likely. You're
going to have to speak up. Let them know when
they've piled on enough.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
Don't dash off and do something today just because of a friend's suggestion. Better check and make sure that's your client or your boss wants. Unless your friend is paying your salary, his or her opinion is, well ... an opinion. Sorry, but that's all it amounts to. You can do projects like that on your own time.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 5.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 5.
Today, it may look like you have a problem, but
again, you're really quite lucky. Just mind your P's
and Q's and do what you're told. To gain even more
points, do it before anyone has to mention it. You've
g nice plans ahead, but don't let them distract you
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 7.
Fun, games and maybe even a few surprises are in store for you today. Don't wait for tomorrow to start your weekend. Make it happen now. A person you know with a very different background from yours is your perfect companion.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Today is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Today is a 5.
People will be anxious today, and they're not going to hold back about it. Expect to get heat today if things are not done perfectly, on time and exactly the way they are supposed to be done.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 9
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Looks like a strong partner has the whole agenda laid out. All you have to do is jump in the car and take off. There's nothing else to be done. You're in a raging mood again today, raring to go.
Things are coming up roses today. Everything you touch will, figuratively, turn to gold. Take advantage of the situation and have fun. Be careful of those who would hope to cash in on your good fortune; you'll know who they are.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8.
You're coming up with all kinds of great ideas today.
You might surprise yourself with your brilliance and creativity. Partially, you're using what you've learned recently, and partially you're making things up, but you've got a very good knack for guessing accurately
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
Looks like there's a controversy going on at your house, but it's kind of a good one. Things are getting stirred up, and it's for the better. It almost looks like you have too much of something, but you'll think of a way to put it to use.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 7.
This is going to be a fun evening, a good night to go out and rock and roll. Your friends have probably already made several interesting suggestions. The idea is to get out tonight, take a few risks and get rowdy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
Today, you can be creative and loving and all the things you do so well without even having the slightest little bit of self-consciousness or self-doubt. A brilliant idea you have could help you make more money.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Dooling, a freshman averaging 15.1 points in the Tigers' last eight games, was fouled hard on a breakaway by the Sooners' Eduardo Najera in the first half.
Missouri guard's injury ignites disagreement
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri guard Keyon Dooling missed practice Wednesday after suffering a concussion in Monday night's loss to Oklahoma. school officials said.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Asked after Monday's game whether Najera's foul was excessive,
Dooling: Suffered concussion in game against Oklahoma.
Missouri coach Norm Stewart said: "Yes, completely." Stewart said he plans to talk to the Big 1.2 Conference office about possible action against Najera. After reviewing the tape of the foul, Stewart said: "You can watch and see a
guy double up his fist, extend the arm and swing. The guy is not going for the ball. The ball is in the arms, and he hit him in the right side of the head, then drove him into the standards underneath the basket.
"Something should be done," Stew art said. "You're talking about the possibility of a crippling injury that could end somebody's career." Oklahoma coach Kevin Sampson defended Naira.
"What he did, there was nothing wrong with," Sampson said. "He went after the ball. That's all the officials saw. Anyone who saw it otherwise was looking through home-crowd eyes."
Doiling has experienced headaches and dizziness the last two days, officials said, but he likely will
play in Missouri's game Saturday at Oklahoma State.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For pitcher Jeff Austin, the deal means stability. For the Kansas City Royals, it means credibility.
"I decided enough was enough," Austin told The Kansas City Star in a telephone interview from his home in Kingwood, Texas. "Holdouts are fine, and I had a nice little break, but I decided enough was enough, and it was time to get going. I didn't want to start my professional career by coming in late to camp."
Holdout ends with deal between Royals, pictcher
Austin, Kansas City's first-round pick in the June 1998 free agent draft, ended his holdout Wednesday and became the last first-round pick to sign.
Austin was Kansas City's top pick and the fourth pick overall in the draft — the highest draft choice in Royals' history.
He had held out because of money.
The Royals reportedly were offering
$2.5 million while Austin was asking
$3.5 million. In the end, the two sides met at $2.7 million.
"It wasn't a bitter dispute at all," Austin said.
"I'm happy I got it done before the season, and it got done with the Royals. I was happy the day
Kansas City drafted me, and I'm happy today because I'm finally with them."
Austin was named National Player of the Year by Baseball America magazine after his junior season at Stanford. He is known for his breaking ball and his control, having struck out 136 batters while walking just 32 in his last Stanford season.
The Royals said that signing Austin lends credibility to their stated intention of rebuilding the organization with its own players.
school last fall and again for the semester beginning in March. The Royals would have lost their rights to him had he returned to classes.
Kansas City made no effort to sign most of its free agents this year — losing third baseman Dean Palmer, second baseman Jose Offerman and pitcher Tim Belchier — while cutting the Royals' payroll to under $25 million. The only major free agent retained by the Royals was closer Jeff Montgomery.
The righthander had kept Kansas City at bay by threatening to return to
ACAPULCO, Mexico — Men armed with Kalashnikov rifles spired away the father of Mexican soccer great Jorge Campos.
Mexican soccer star's father seized, missing
Alvaro Campos was seized Wednesday from a soccer field named after his son, flamboyant goalkeeper Jorge Campos, according to two relatives who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for Campos' life.
"There were six or eight people with their faces uncovered ... but nobody recognized them," one of the relatives said. "They took out their rifles ... took him aboard a pickup truck."
The truck was found nearby an hour later. Mexican news media reported.
Police in Acapulco said they couldn't comment on the case until the family filed a complaint. But Wednesday night, dozens of pickup trucks sped through Acapulco's southern outskirts, filled with state police officers carrying automatic rifles.
Jorge Campos, goalkeeper for Mexico's national team through two World Cups and a star in both U.S. and Mexican soccer leagues, was in Hong Kong participating in a tournament with the national team.
Jorge Campos hugged teammates
goodbye before boarding a plane home.
"All the players are shocked by this," teammate Francisco Palencia said.
Campsis was Mexico's main goalkeeper during its World Cup performances in France last year and in Los Angeles in 1994. He is known for his flashy uniforms, which he used to design himself, and for his talents as both goalkeeper and forward.
Camps' U.S. Major League Soccer contract is now with the Chicago Fire, but the Fire let him move for the season to the Pumas of Mexico City's National Autonomous University, a top division team. The Fire, which acquired him from the Los Angeles Galaxy a year ago, expects him back in the spring.
