HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 26). As one door closes, another opens. An "opportunity" that presents itself is not to your liking. Don't try to talk yourself into it. Hold out for something better. Once you've reconciled yourself to the idea of change, a world of possibilities emerges. Don't be restricted by your old dreams. Remain open to a way that could work out better.
Aries(March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. You've spent just about enough time thinking about it. Now, it's time to get down to work. Well, almost. You might want to get just one more opinion from a person you greatly admire.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. You'd like to help a friend in need, but you really can't afford it. You'd like to take on an extra project, but you'd rather spend more time with family. Teach the friend how to do the project, and everybody wins.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. When one door closes, another opens. The challenge is finding that open door. You may have to knock on several that are locked before you do. Don't limit yourself to the same old hallway.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. As you're delegating your resources, add a new category. In addition to food, shelter and savings, also invest in yourself. The more you learn, the more valuable you become.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Leo (July 25-Aug. 22). Today is 7.
An argument with your significant other may have you baffled. How can he or she be so obstinate? Actually, that's the very same thing he or she is wondering. Listen more carefully.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a b.
Just because you're getting yelled at
doesn't mean everything's your fault. It
could be that the person who's making all
the noise is a colossal jerk. Retain your dignity.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
A pushy person could force you to make a decision you've been postponing. Admit it.
If somebody didn't raise a fuss, you might wait forever. Choose!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6. Family plans may have to wait, as a lastminute job takes priority. Schedule quiet time for Friday and Saturday, and travel for Sunday.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
A minor misunderstanding will be quickly forgotten, especially if you apologize. Do it, even if you think it wasn't all your fault.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
Continue to divide your resources carefully. A necessary purchase is way overdue. Stash away some for travel, too.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7. Don't gamble on a friend's crazy scheme. If you want to support him or her, pay the rent and call it a gift. Meanwhile, polish your own boots. There's an inspection coming soon.
Pisces (Feb.19-March20). Today is a 7.
Accept a new assignment that pays well,
even if it's not a lot of fun. You're lucky, and
your attitude is good.
Clippers end losing streak
The Associated Press
Memphis Grizzlies Brand had 27 points and a career-high 23 rebounds as the Los Angeles Clippers defeated Memphis 90-77 last night.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Elton Brand made it obvious he was going to dominate inside against the Memphis Grizzlies.
"Elton was a monster down low," Grizzlies coach Sidney Lowe said. "He was too tough down there. We couldn't stop him."
Brand was 10-of-12 from the field as the Clippers ended a two-game losing streak.
It was Memphis' third straight loss.
Jeff McInnis added 19 points and 12 assists for Los Angeles, and reserve Darius Miles finished with 12 points.
12 points.
"We are just trying to take it one game at a time," McInnis said. "It's no secret we want to make the playoffs. We are not trying to downplay anything, that's our goal."
Memphis, which has been plagued by injuries, dressed only eight players. Eddie Gill, who signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Saturday, started at point guard and played all 48 minutes.
Pau Gasol led Memphis with 21 points and 13 rebounds, and Gill added 20 points on 7-of-12 shooting. He also had seven assists.
Lorenzen Wright scored 17 points, and Will Solomon had 11 for Memphis.
"Gill played as well as anyone they could have put out there," Clippers coach Alvin Gentry said. "For a guy who has not run a play for them, he did great."
Gill, who signed a pair of 10-day contracts and played eight games last year with the Nets, had to learn the Memphis offense quickly.
The Grizzlies had 12 points and 10 rebounds the entire period.
Los Angeles held a 46-29 halftime advantage led by Brand's 16 points. Gill had 10 points in the first half, but the 29 points were the lowest for Memphis in a half this season.
Olympic travel buries airport
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Tens of thousands of travelers flying home from the Winter Olympics yesterday were greeted with lines longer than two football fields and waits of up to seven hours at the city's airport.
The airport braced for about 74,000 passengers, said Barbara Gann, spokeswoman for the city Department of Airports. It's almost certainly the busiest day in the airport's history.
busiest day in the city By midmorning, the line to check in for Delta Air Lines stretched out of the terminal and onto the sidewalk. At the end of it, an airport employee, Gary DeVaux, said the wait was four hours.
And in the middle of the line was 1984 men's figure skating gold medalist Scott Hamilton, who said he'd never seen a longer line in an airport.
"I expected it and it's no big deal. As long as you come with an open mind, it'll be OK," Hamilton said.
Toward the end of the day, tempers flared more frequently, even as the lines got shorter. The lack of food in the airport terminal also contributed to the sour mood.
The Salt Lake International Airport was virtually deserted Sunday night as airspace above the region was restricted during the Winter Games' closing ceremony.
Unusual format leads to PGA upset
The Associated Press
CARLSBAD, Calif. — The seeds look like lotto numbers —24,19,55,62. They belong to the four winners of the Accenture Match Championship.
Who are these guys? How did they win a World Golf Championship event against the top 64 players on the planet? And what happened to Tiger Woods and the other top seeds?
The credit — or the blame — goes to match play, golf's most fickle format that has provided great theater and a few unlikely champions in its brief history.
No. 24 would be Jeff Maggert, whose only previous victory was at Disney World in 1993. No. 19 was Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland, who earned recognition for beating Tiger Woods in 2000.
A year later, the lot fell to Steve Stricker at No. 55, winning in Australia when 28 top players didn't even bother to show up.
The latest winner of golf's most unpredictable tournament was Kevin Sutherland, the No. 62
seed whose 1-up victory over Scott McCarron was the first victory of his career.
Indeed, the only ones complaining about a No. 62 vs. No. 45 in the finals were those expecting Woods and Phil Mickelson to breeze into the finals. They were the top two seeds in this Match Play Championship. They were gone after one day.
All Sutherland did was make clutch birdie putts on the final two holes and then beat David Duval in 20 holes, then dispatch of Paul McGinley, Jim Furyk, PGA champion David Toms and Brad Faxon. He played 122 holes and made 10 bogeys.
Woods was certainly prophetic when the day before the match he declared, "It's anyone's tournament to win."
"People instinctively like to see a dominant situation evolve, like the Yankees, Cowboys, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said. "In match play, I just don't see it."
