HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday
You're lucky at games this year, especially word games. Stretch your mind and your influence in February. Uncommon sense increases your cents in March. Restrict your area of study in April. Fall in love with a brilliant mind in June. New skills enhance your partnership in August. Get a powerful person to vouch for you in November. December's best advice for you is to be yourself.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — They are a 7.
Every place you look, another question pops into mind. With Mars, your ruling planet, now in Scorpio you're probing more deeply than usual. You want to find out what is beneath the surface.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
You could get an unexpected legacy today from an unusual source. It looks as if this income is generated by words rather than deeds. You're a natural editor. In fact, you could make your living with you're, especially right now.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
Did you know it's possible to get a job overseas,
teaching people how to speak English? There are
also places to study the native language. There are
people to meet who will lead to other people and
other adventures.
Cancer (June 22- July 22) — Today is a 6.
Your friends know how warm and loving you are.
You're someone they can go to when they need to talk
You can be trusted to keep secrets, but don't let them weigh you down. Let them float right out of your mind.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) --- Today is a 7.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
There are a lot of ideas being tossed around today, but something's lacking. It'll be obvious to you. The others are just too much in their heads. You're more practical and pragmatic. Even if the others have more degrees than you do, it looks as if you're the one with the common sense.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
You can see the change that needs to be made but
can't do it all by yourself. It'll take teamwork and
effort on your part to whip this ragtag group into a
team. Confusion reigns because nobody has a plan.
If you do nothing more than set priorities, you could
make the difference between success and failure.
You always have a way with words, but today you're absolutely astounding. You'll come up with the winning answer. You're gibl and polished, chic and debonair — but watch out. Know what you're getting into before you agree to anything, and don't say some less that damages another person.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is an 8.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Mars, one of your ruling planets, just has gone into your sign. Mars symbolizes the warrior, and Scorpio is the strategist. That instinct should serve you well today in a business deal. Someone has the very thing you need, but don't you let on right away. Offer a price that favor, and see what happens.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
You're a fierce competitor when you feel like it, and you just might feel like it today. Other people will be surprised to see you out there on the court, waiting to smash your opponent's best shot right back. You've got what it takes and more.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
You may think that the harder you work, the richer you'll get, but today it's more important how smart you work. Reading the paperwork could be absolutely pivotal. You need to know what's going on.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Don't spend time daydreaming about something attractive while you're on the clock. You have a conflict today between love and money, so don't play at love when you're supposed to be making the money. If you're working together, the dilemma becomes even more intense, and more potentially scandalous.
more in your
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 5.
Your fantasy life is always rich, and today it's almost as if having four helpings of pecan pie in a row. It's wonderful at first, but after a while you might be a little sick to your stomach. In other words, cool it or you could make yourself into a nervous wreck. Just wait. It'll be much easier to tell fact from fiction tomorrow.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Top-seeded Lindsay Davenport advanced to the Australian Open semifinals yesterday, beating Venus Williams 6-4, 6-0.
While Davenport served immaculately and outplayed Williams, the match will be remembered for a strange twist in the second set when Williams' famous beaded hairdo cost her a game.
In his place, assistant head coach Bill Belichick will run the AFC team, along with the entire Jets coaching staff. Minnesota's Dennis Green will coach the NFC.
When some beads fell on the first point in the third game of the second set, umpire Denis Overberg ordered the point replayed. As Williams served on game point, more beads fell and Overberg gave the point to Davenport.

Watch out.
Newspapers around the world continued to criticize the committee and called on Samaranch to step down in the wake of the bribery scandal that has engulfed the Salt Lake City Winter Games of 2002. But the 78-year-old Spaniard said the committee needed him more than ever.
Samaranach announced Sunday he would put his leadership to a vote of confidence at a special IOC session March 17-18. Only if he fails to get the members' endorsement will he resign.
Tennessee loses Simms as recruit picks Texas
NEWARK, N.J. — Phillip Fulmer and national champions Tennessee finally lost one — a recruit that is.
Chris Simms, son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, changed his mind and decided to attend Texas instead of Tennessee.
"There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it," Simms said yesterday. "I'm going to Texas."
"I took more of a hard feeling about it," said Simmons, who threw for more that 7,000 yards in 39 high-school games. "And I think I placed too much emphasis on playing instead of what I like more."
Last month, Simms seemed happy when he appeared on a local cable TV show to announce he would be attending Tennessee.
Simms' choice will not become official until he signs a national letter of intent Feb. 3, the first day high-school players are permitted to sign with a school.
"I'm proud to be a 'Vol,' and it's a good place for me," Simms said at the time.
The surprise switch came more than a month after a mid-December announcement that Simms would join the Volunteers.
Tennessee won the national title a few weeks later, beating Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl.
"He had some time over the last few weeks to reflect and think about it before he made it final, and he weighed it out in his mind, and he just felt Texas was a better fit for him," said Mike Miello, Simms' coach at Ramapo (N.J.) High School.
Tee Martin returns at quarterback for Tennessee, but Simms may have wavered when A.J. Suggs, another top quarterback prospect from Georgia, verbally committed to the Volunteers.
