HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday [Jan. 28]:
Work overtime this year to assure your success. The job may seem awkward in February, but the money's good by March. By April, you should be ready to take on more responsibility. Use intuition to understand a new assignment in July. Get rid of a bad habit in December.
Aries (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7.
You're a warrior, of course, but every once in a while you get warm, snuggly feelings. That'll be happening more often while the moon's going across Cancer, the water sign that squares Aries. Water signs are emotional, and you may be surprised to find you have an emotional side.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7.
You're starting a pensive phase today that will lost into the weekend. This could inspire you to rekindle a bond with some special friends. They're the ones you can talk to without saying words at all. Touch bases tonight.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 5.
You've been interested in ideas later, but now you should get interested in practical matters. It's great to do something you love, but it's even better if you're getting paid for it.
Once you get a job like that, work becomes play, and that possibility is out there. In fact, it's closer than you think.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)-Today is a 7.
Cancer June 22-July 21 — Today is 6 a.7.
You're every lucky today. You're assertive, calm, gorgeous and inspirational — everything you always hoped you'd be. If any other thoughts try to get into your head, just shoo them away. Don't allow them to spoil the pretty picture you're creating for yourself. It's your life, and today you can make it be as just lovely as you want.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 5.
Lee July 23-Aug. 22 - Today is a 5.
You could wake up today with a sense of foreboding, as if there's something you promised to do that you've forgotten all about. Actually, adds are high that actually the case.
So today, search your brain and high that you're notepad and the little scraps of paper you've been carrying around in your pocket. Find all the promises you've made, and keep them.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7.
You could have a brilliant insight today, almost as if it was handed to you from on high. If so, it's because you made yourself available for incoming messages by listening more than you speak. Listen, but you may choose to follow your own good sense instead.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) - Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 5.
You could make a brilliant career move today. The oppor-
tunity could come quickly, and you won't have long to
act, so pay attention. There's no shortage of money, but
the trick is getting it into your pocket. All you have to do is
provide what's needed. The hard part is figuring out what
that is, and having it on there time. Follow a hunch.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 5.
You may be something of a gambler, but today you'd be sorcely to squelch that urge. Let the house rake in somebody else's loose change. Speaking of houses, you may find a good deal in real estate or get something beautiful for your home. No gamble here. It's simply a good, solid deal. If you find something like that, go for it.
**Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)** — Today is a 7.
Conditions have shifted; they're now in your favor. A lucky break is predicted, so be watching for it. You may not be in control of the situation, but that's OK. You might even choose to give up control, just for the fun of it. If you do, you'll access real power.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Today is a 7.
Venus is going into Pisces today, in your solar third house of education, making you even smarter than usual. Venus symbolizes good luck, and so does Jupiter, which is also in Pisces. So your luck should be stupendous. In this case, it has to do with education. Therefore, you should definitely sign up for a class.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
Whatever shenanigans you've been up to for the last few days apparently have not hurt your productivity, because it looks like you're being considered for a promotion or a raise. You're lucky, so be bold. Ask for what you want.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7.
Things have shifted again, and this time you're downright lucky. Your intuition is good, and your attitude should be improving. But instead of racing into action, you may choose to sit and wait. Watch, listen and let someone else stick his or her neck out first.
Sixty-meter dash champ will race at Anschutz
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Maurice Greene, world-record holder in the 60-meter dash, will compete in two 60-meter dashes at the Jayhawk Invitational tomorrow at Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Greene, a Kansas City, Kan., native will run a preliminary heat at 1:10 p.m., then a finals heat at 1:55 p.m.
A former United States, world and Goodwill Games champion in the 100-meter dash, Greene burst onto the scene two years ago with a stunning victory against Olympic 100-meter champion Donovan Bailey in the dash.
Since then, Greene has set the world indoor record of 6.39 seconds in the 60-meter dash at Madrid, Spain. Ten days later, he covered the distance in 6.46 seconds — the fastest indoor time ever posted in the United States.

Brewers sign Abbott; specifics not revealed
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent pitcher Jim Abbott.
Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed, but the deal includes a mutual option for the year 2000.
Drafted by the California Angels in the first round of the 1988 JB draft out of the University of Michigan, he has an 85-100 career record and 4.12 ERA.
Abbott, 30, a left-hander, was 5 O with a 4.55 earned run average for the Chicago White Sox last season in five starts.
"Jim brings veteran leadership to our starting pitching staff," Brewers general manager Sal Bando said.
Fourth member resigns during IOC investigation
NAIROBI, Kenya — Charles Mukora of Kenya became the fourth International Olympic Committee member to
"I was an innocent victim of circumstances. However, the president of the International Olympic Committee has advised us to tender our resignations before March 17-18 in order to put these allegations to rest," Mukora said. "I have decided therefore to accept his advice on principle."
resign in the Salt Lake City bribery scandal, saying today that he stepped down "on principle."
On Sunday, the IOC named Mukora
as one of nine members who received under the table payments from Salt Lake City
during its successful bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics. The IOC said Mukora received $34,650.
The Lausanne, Switzerland-based organization recommended the nine people resign before they are ousted during the IQC board meeting in March.
Mukura, an IOC member since 1990 and also chairman of the Kenya Olympics Association and first vice chairman of the Commonwealth Games Federation, told the IOC panel the payments were made in support of "sports development in Kenya" and for "world youth sporting activities."
three members resigned last week:
Pirjo Haeggman of Finland, Bashir
Hommad Attarabulsi of Libya and
David Sibandze of Swaziland.
Mukora was excluded along with Agustin Arroyo of Ecuador, JeanClaude Ganga of the Republic of Congo, Zein El Abid Ahmed Abdel Gabriel of Sudan, Lamine Keita of Mali and Sergio Santander of Chile. Dutch member Anton Geesink received a warning.
But the IOC concluded Mukora accepted the payment for "his personal benefit" and should be expelled.
Three others remain under investigation and face possible expulsion: Louis GuirandouN'Diaye of Ivory Coast, Kim Un-Yong of South Korea and Vitaly Smirnov of Russia.
Divac happy with city, team's chances this year
Divac's voice was one of change for the Sacramento Kings.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — His voice rising above the practice chatter, Vladie Divac ran up and down the floor, directing and encouraging his new teammates.
The 7-foot-1 center, signed last week as a free agent to a six-year, $62.5 million contract, is part of a wave of newcomers to the Kings, who head into the lockout-shorted campaign trying to snap their dubious record of 15 straight sub-500 seasons.
“There’s a lot of reasons I came here,” said Dirac, who played the past two seasons for Charlotte after spending his first six with the Los Angeles Lakers.
But he knows it may take some time. Of the 19 players in the Kings' training camp, only Corliss Williamson was with the team two years ago. He'll fill out the front line with Divac and Webber, obtained last year shortly before the lockout was imposed in the trade that sent Mitch Richmond to Washington.
"I got the contract I wanted and Sacramento is a lot closer to my home and my family in Los Angeles. A lot of people told me, 'Hey, you know, the Sacramento Kings have never been good.' I said, 'Hey, I'll go there and I will make 'em good,'
The 30yearold Divac has already seen some encouraging signs in the first few days of practice.
"I can tell you this; this is an unselfish team and that's very good," Divac said. "I think we do have a chance, just because of the short season, to surprise some other teams. With the talent we have here now, maybe we can jump on some teams early."
little to the Atlanta Falcons, it was a day to spend almost anywhere but in front of a television set, watching two other teams vie for the NFL title.
Both Super Bowl teams have come a long way
For more than two decades, Super Bowl Sunday was downright painful for the Denver Broncos. It was a day for fans to stay away from their TV sets to avoid the carnage.
MIAMI — For more than three decades, Super Bowl Sunday meant
when they meet at Pro Player Stadium on Sunday, both teams might spend a moment reflecting on just how far they've come in the past year.
“it's a lot more pleasant, the fact you're not talking about past Super Bowl failures all the time,” John Elway said. “It's a heck of a lot more positive. From 1988 until last year, I answered the question whether my career would be complete without a Super Bowl victory. I haven't had to answer that question since.”
For the Broncos, their sixth Super Bowl is entirely unlike all the others. They've come here as champions, carrying a self-confidence and, yes, a swagger that they gained by finally winning the big game.
The Falcons, never before a championship factor, finished 7-9 in 1997. Yet now they've come to Miami with the highest of expectations, a slight sense of awe mixed in with a heavy dose of innocence, and in the recognition of how different
things are now.
While both are playing for the same reward,
they are approaching the chance to be atop their profession
Now the questions are about repeats and dynasties. The Broncos are so self assured that they have no problem dealing with those topics. In the past, they merely hoped they could win a Super Bowl. Now, they know they can.
from entirely different perspectives.
Happily for Denver, that means not having to answer all those "Why did you lose?" questions.
