HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
Money is the topic this year. You'll gather lots of it, so save it wisely. Communication is the key to wealth in March. In April, it's education, with some lessons learned the hard way. By November, you could have generated a new source of income by catering to a demanding person's whims. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 6.
It looks as if you're building a ladder to the top, but today's most important thing happens later when you get in touch with the reason you're going to all this trouble. Love is what's really important, and if there's not enough of it in your life, maybe it's because you've been climbing too fast.
raurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 6.
Things appear to be going very well again today, but
a breakdown in communication occurs. You don't
have to nervously wait for it, just watch out for it.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 5.
Someone is trying to teach you something today — by example, not words. A person you admire may take on something extremely difficult. If so, pay attention. You can mimic what the other person does, even if you can't quite explain it.
Cancer (June 22- July 22); Today is a 6.
Today the hassles end early, leaving clear sailing for you and your love. Plan something special for this evening.
Taking off for Tahiti may be what you have in mind, but dinner at a Tahiti restaurant might have to do.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
Today, take a moment or two to reflect on what you're going to leave to future generations. If you start saving money now, by the time you retire, you'll be fabulously wealthy. Today is a marvelous day to begin.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
It looks as if things will go well today, but not as you expected. Your conversation with a partner has its ups and downs. Don't worry. The disagreements won't last. Go ahead and hash out the details, and everything will be hunky-dory.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
You could be mistake-prone today, so watch out.
You haven't quite mastered something you thought you'd learned by now, and everything you don't know will probably be pointed out to you. Don't be too hard on yourself. Just put in the correction and keep going. Actually, you're doing fine.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 6.
There's some sort of problem concerning money again, and it looks as if it also involves love. Perhaps you and your sweetheart want to do something you can't afford yet.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
No matter what's going on today, don't worry.
There's a happy ending, and a couple of adventures in between here and there won't hurt a bit. One of those might be a misunderstanding with a person you like. Don't just assume you know what was meant by his or her words, especially if they hurt your feelings — ask.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
You could become wealthy, but right now someone else is getting most of your money. Is that because you're investing for your future? Either that or you're paying off bills, another noble gesture. You need to put up a structure and stash something away for the future.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 7.
It looks as if you have no problem getting the money to come in today. The problem is figuring out how to disperse it. You should be thinking about all your options, but be slow to act.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6. What the other person said and what you heard were two different things, so be careful if you're thinking about spreading gossip. You could send things off in a whole different direction than was originally intended.
SARASOTA, Fla. — Hold the shaker: A 32-year-old tradition has fallen.
"When I was traded here from St. Louis, the only thing I didn't like was the fact that I had to shave," said right fielder Dmithi Young, who arrived early at spring training Monday with a mustache and beard. "I know that goes
the same for a lot of guys. I've even talked to some who said that's the only reason they wouldn't want to play for
A 32-year-old lad from Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott junked the rule about no facial hair, delighting some players who had delayed shaving their beards and mustaches until the last minute.
Reds' facial hair policy changed after 32 years

the Reds. Of course, I didn't think it was right for me to say anything. I don't exactly have the same pull as Greg Vaughn."
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Vaughn's 50 home runs last year with San Diego obviously gave him some clout with the Reds, who traded for him on Feb. 2. Schott agreed this week to Vaughn's request that she waive the rule about facial hair, a policy dating to 1967.
So Vaughn's goatee is safe, clearing the way for other players.
I called Greg Vaughn to let him know before he reported to spring training, so he could keep his goatette as long as it was neatly trimmed," Schott said. "With the support of our fans, we have changed our facial hair policy. The team will continue to respect the traditions of Cincinnati Reds baseball and adhere to our other uniform personnel rules, presenting a clean-cut image."
About one-third of the Reds' early arrivals at the City of Sarasota Sports Complex showed up with some facial hair. All were holding off before reaching for the razor, hoping for a policy change.
NEW YORK — Mark McGwire hit another home run,winning three ESPYs for shattering the most revered record in sports.
McGwire, Sosa win ESPN's ESPY awards
McGwire won ESPN's awards for Male Athlete of the Year, Stopwatch of the Year and Baseball's Top Performer for hitting 70 homers to break Roger Maris' record of 61 and reinvigorate an entire sport.
Sammy Sosa, who hit 66 home runs, won the Humanitarian Award for his work helping victims of Hurricane Georges in his native Dominican Republic.
LOS ANGELES — While Dennis Rodman and the Los Angeles Lakers seem to want each other, they aren't together yet.
Lakers still confident they can sign Rodman
"I heard he's coming," Shaquille O'Neal, the NBA's leading scorer, said Monday after another practice
When — or if — it does take place appears to be up to the eccentric seven-time rebounding champion.

but acknowledged that executives Jerry West and Mitch Kupchak had been talking with Rodman's agents.
Lakers' representative John Black said there was nothing new to report
A couple hours earlier, Black answered his home telephone by saying, "Dennis Rodman Hotline."
Several players said speculation about Rodman's expected arrival hadn't been a distraction, but the Lakers enter tonight's game with a disappointing 3-3 record.
Spielman, 33, was to be introduced at a news conference at the Browns' headquarters along with offensive tackle Orlando Brown and cornerback Antonio Langham, both former Browns who are returning to Cleveland.
The Browns followed a hectic Monday when they agreed to terms with Brown and Minnesota cornerback Corey Fuller by finalizing a deal with the Buffalo Bills yesterday for Spielman. Details of the trade had not been released by the club.
CLEVELAND — Chris Spielman, the All-Pro linebacker who sat out last season to be with his wife while she recovered from breast cancer surgery, is now a member of the Cleveland Brown.
The former Ohio high school star and All-American at Ohio State had made it known last week that he wanted to join the Browns, who are returning to the NFL next season following a three-year absence.
Spielman hasn't played since 1997. He underwent neck fusion surgery in November 1997, and then chose to sit out last year while his wife, Stefanie, recovered from cancer.
Brown agreed Monday to sign a six-year, $26 million contract, the Akron Beacon Journal and ESPN reported.
$20.6 million contract, according to several newspaper reports yesterday. Both players visited the Browns on Monday, along with Minnesota defensive end Derrick Alexander.
Fuller agreed to sign a five-year,
After meeting with the NFL expansion committee yesterday, commissioner Paul Tagliabue said nearly all opposition to bringing in a 32nd team had evaporated.
NFL may add franchise in California or Texas
ragiabue said both the Los Angeles and Houston markets were desirable in terms of fan interest, population and ownership groups. The main difference is a set plan for a new stadium in Houston.
"I think some type of consensus is developing to go to 32 teams," Tagliabue said after the four-hour meeting. "Certainly, a year ago, it was hard enough to make the decision to go to 31 (with the new team in Cleveland)." NFL owners will meet next month in Phoenix when the decision is likely to be made.
ATLANTA — NFL owners have cleared the way to decide in March whether Los Angeles or Houston gets the league's 32nd team, which could begin play by 2002.
"I'm not leaning toward either city," he said.
Tagliabue insisted that no decision had been made on which city would get the new team.
A Houston group headed by Bob McNair already has a plan in place for a new retractable roof stadium, while two rival groups in Los Angeles have separate stadium plans. One wants to renovate the aging Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and the other wants to build a new stadium in suburban Carson City.
