HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 25).
Stability's required this year, although resistance may be encountered first. Your confidence should be good in February, and a lucky hunch works in March. Follow the rules in April and state your point clearly in May. Follow your partner's lead in August. Go further and faster in the fall. Winter will be unpredictable, so be prepared.
Aries: Today is a 6.
A friend keeps insisting you can have things the way you want them. You know he or she is right, but your mind keeps coming up with reasons why you shouldn't try what ever is up next. Looks like your fortune is on the increase.
Taurus: Today is a 5.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You're liable to clash today with an opinionated friend. This person doesn't have a clue how things really are. Strangely enough, he or she thinks the same about you. There might be more going on than you realize. You won't find out what it is if you pretend to know it all.
If you have business with someone far away, be careful. Research everything as thoroughly as you can. The more complicated the business you're doing, the more likely the chance of error. If you have to wait until tomorrow to complete the deal, don't fear. Your luck will be much better then.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
If you've ever thought about taking on the stock market, this certainly would be a good week to begin. But don't necessarily do it today. There's an indication that problems could arise. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially where your money is concerned.
Leo: Today is a 5.
You could run into complications today, and it looks like a partner would be much better at dealing with the problem. You probably suspected as much all along, because someone in particular keeps giving you tons of supposedly helpful care. Why don't you just get that person to take care of the whole issue?
Virgo: Today is a 7.
The routine is set up, but somehow it doesn't work. Something's off kilter. Don't blame the routine. Some other condition has changed, and you're the person most likely to figure out what's wrong. You can see better than anyone else can, so don't be afraid to speak up. You could save the day.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Looks like you've got a plan, but you can't see how it could work, and that's got you down. It's hard on your friends to see you like this, so don't mention it yet. If you wait until tomorrow or the next day, you may have found a way around the problem.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Looks like somebody you live with has firm opinions about how things should be done. If you're smart, which you are, you won't put up much of a fight. Save your energy for a battle you can win.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
Today's work could probably be described as drudgery. Some people might enjoy it, but in your book, it's pretty dull. You know what? It's your own fault. You could spice things up without waiting for somebody else to do it. Put your own imagination to work.
A gamble that looks like a good deal could backfire on you. Be careful, especially if love or money is involved. Don't expect things to turn out quite the way they initially appear to be headed. What looks like an excellent deal could turn out to be swamp land.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
You are so powerful this week, you have an untair advantage. The most important thing to remember, especially as powerful as you are now, is to keep on learning. The wisest voice you hear could be one advising you to slow down and to not think you know all the answers yet.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You may feel pressure to perform, but don't worry. You'll be fine once you settle down and concentrate. That's easier now, with the moon going through Taurus; this soothes your jagged nerves. Have patience, because the tide's about to turn in your favor.

NEW YORK — No. 2 Duke is not accustomed to winning like this. Nor are the Blue Devils accustomed to seeing a performance like the one by Bootsy Thornton of St. John's.
Duke narrowly beats St. Johns in overtime
Two free throws by Nate James with 9.3 seconds left gave Duke an 81-78 lead, but Artest, who had missed most of the second half with four fouls, hit a 3 with 1.1 seconds left, forcing the overtime.
The Blue Devils (19.1) beat No. 8 St.
John's 92-88 in overtime Sunday despite a career-high 40 points and 12 rebounds by Thomton, who scored 23 of the Red Storm's final 36 points.
St. John's (16-4) was playing without its leading rebounder, Tyron Grant, who is sidelined indefinitely with a broken right wrist, and nearly the entire team was in foul trouble in the second half.
Thornton gave the Red Storm an 84-81 lead two minutes into overtime, but the Blue Devils, who had struggled from the foul line all game, suddenly found the mark and made nine of 11 the rest of the way. The last three came from Chris Carrawell during the final 18 seconds after Thornton had pulled St. John's within 89-88 with his seventh 3-point of the game
The win was Duke's 14th straight and it was the closest of the streak, with only two of those games less than 20-point victories.
Still, the Red Storm stapled close,
never letting Duke pull away and even
taking a 76-75 lead with 1:37 left in regi-
lation on a three-point play by Ron Artest.
Carrawell had 17 points to lead six Blue Devils who scored in double figures.
He was 14 of 24 from the field, including 7 of 11 from 3 point range. Artest finished with 22 points, and Enck Barkley
The loss snapped St. John's four-game winning streak and was the fifth straight time it has lost to Duke.
had 12 points and 11 assists for the Red
hist, who had four players foul out.
The crowd of 19,528 was the first sellout for a college regular-season game at Madison Square Garden since Connecticut-St. John's in 1996.
South Carolina loses to aggressive Syracuse
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Jason Hart scored 15 points and Damone Brown added 13 as No. 20 Syracuse used an aggressive defense to subdue South Carolina 84-37 Sunday.
Syracuse (14-5), coming off a 90-51 vic
tory over Boston College, held the Game-cocks to just 23.8 percent shooting in the first half and built an insurmountable lead despite some erratic early play. South Carolina (5)
only one win since the first week of December, had averaged just 59.9 points in its previous 11 games. It got even worse against the Orangemen, who used a 19-point run to build a 37-14 lead at halftime and sent the Gamecocks to their seventh straight loss. Syracuse outrebounded them 50-27 and forced 20 turnovers.
South Carolina (5 13) which has had
The Gamecocks have relied on guard B.J. McKie to spark the offense. But McKie, who had been averaging nearly 20 points a game since early December, could not penetrate Syracuse's swarming defense and, with Hart and Allen Griffin in his face at every turn, rarely got an open look at the basket.
teams, who combined to make just 8 of their first 30 shots in the first dozen minutes. Syracuse got on track, hitting nine of its final 12 shots before halftime.
McKie, who picked up three fouls in the first half, had just seven points at half-time and finished with nine, his worst outing since scoring nine in the first game of the season against Valparaiso.
After a series of misplays by both
Starks, who came to the Golden State Warriors from the New York Knicks along with Terry Cummings and Chris Mills for Latrell Sprewell Thursday, was first signed as a free agent by the Warriors out of Oklahoma State in 1988.
Golden State Warriors sign a confident Starks
Starks, who wasn't drafted that season, played in 36 games and averaged about four points before going to the CBA for a year and to the Knicks, where he played for eight years.
"Losing is not something I handle well," Starks said at a news conference Sunday. "I'm a bad loser. It eats at me and I'm not one to keep it inside."
Starks will be asked to assume a leadership role, as well as to fill the shooting guard position for the Warriors, who won 19 games last season and missed the playoffs for the third straight season.
Starks played in 93 playoff games and owns the career record for most 3-pointers (175) in the postseason.
OAKLAND, Calif. — John Starks is returning to the team that gave him his first chance in the NBA, and he said he wouldn't tolerate losing.
"When you're used to winning, you want to come into a situation geared to winning," said Starks, a 1994 all-star.
"That first year was an adjustment period for me," Starks said. "I had to make the cut. It gave me some incentive to work hard and get back to that level."
