HOROSCOPES
Todav's Birthday (Feb. 25).
Today's birthday (red. 29).
Keep your nose to the grind-
stone this year. That's another way
of saying there'll be more work
than play. The good news is that
you'll make a lot of money. Hold
onto it. You may want to finance
some big changes soon. First, con-
centrate on doing the job.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. There may be a temptation to be introspective or maybe even blue. Are you remembering things that didn't go well? Have lunch with a friend who cheers you up. You'll be your old assertive self in no time.
Taurus (April 20-May 20), Today is a 6.
No need to hurry, especially if money is concerned. You might make an excellent deal, but it won't be on a whim. It'll be because you've already done your homework and know a bargain when you see it. When you do see it, move quickly.
Gomini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
You're a perpetual student, as you'll soon demonstrate. You're about to become fascinated by a new area of study. This time, it's something you can't just read about. It requires practice, but you're a natural.
Cancer (June 22- July 22). Today is a 6. The pace slows considerably, as you get into the building phase. Dreaming is more fun, of course, but there's less to show for the time you spend.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8. Conditions are much better for taking action. Launch new projects and follow through on promises. Travel, or meet with foreign friends and business associates.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept. 22), Today is a 6. Your first impulse may be to feel guilty for work not done, or to feel confused about what to do next. Find your notes and review your old plans. With a few minor modifications, you'll get by.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8.
Friends won't let you hide out any longer. They'll insist you come and play, at least for lunch or dinner. If you share your concerns with them, you'll get a needed jolt of inspiration.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21), Today is a 6.
Do your very best on a difficult assignment. Somebody important will notice. Don't lose your temper, even if you have good reason.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.
You need to get out for some exercise.
A change of scenery would do you good. But be warned: There's an exam coming on Wednesday.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 7.
Lots of new ways to spend money
are coming to your attention. Choose
something that will last. It's a good
investment.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7. The pace is intense, and the pressure is increasing. Changes in your orders don't help. The faster you work, the more you make, but don't spend it all in one place.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Meet with a person who knows it all.
Set your competitive nature aside
and accept the coaching. It will get
you closer to your goals.

Staff report
Drug testing ousts athletes, gold medals taken away
SALT LAKE CITY — Vowing to stay one step ahead of athletes, Olympic officials stripped gold medals from two cross-country skiers yesterday for using a drug so new it's not yet on the banned list.
Cross-country skiers Larissa Lazutina of Russia and Johann Muehlegg of Spain forfeited their most recent medals after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug intended to help kidney patients avoid anemia. Muehlegg had been picked to carry the Spanish flag at the closing ceremony, but was replaced by Maria Jose Rienda Contreras, who finished sixth in the giant slalom.
A third cross-country skier, Olga Danilova of Russia, also tested positive for the drug, dabepoetin, which boosts the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to muscles.
All three athletes were tossed out of the Winter Olympics on the final day of competition. The Spanish and Russian Olympic delegations challenged the process by which the test results were validated. All three positive results came from out-of-competition drug tests on Thursday.
Lazutina, who tied an Olympic record yesterday with her 10 medal by winning the women's 30-kilometer classical race, was forced to give up that victory. But she will be allowed to keep two medals she won earlier — silvers in the 15K freestyle and the 10K combined event.
Muehlegg, who had won three gold medals at these games, was ordered to return the one from Saturday's 50K classical race. But he gets to keep his golds in the 30K freestyle and the 10K pursuit events
Muehlegg's disqualification means Mikhail Ivanov of Russia will trade in his silver for gold, while Estonia's Andrus Veerpalu moves up to silver and fourth-place finisher Odd-Bjoern Hijesmet of Norway gets the bronze.
After Lazutina was disqualified, Gabriella Paruzzi of Italy, who finished second, was awarded the gold, Stefania Belmondo of Italy got the silver and Bente Skari of Norway moved up to bronze.
