HOROSCOPES
Todav's Birthday (Jan. 23).
Today's birthday (Jan. 21).
Fix up your place during the first part of this year. Get it just the way you like it.
This is not going to be easy, by the way. It'll be a challenge, but it'll be worth the effort. Later, you'll be more interested in romance. And by then, you'll have a lovely place in which to entertain.
Aries(March 21-April 19)—Today is a 7. Your friends may think you're a skinflint for not funding their schemes, but you just can't afford to spend the money. You could help out in another way.Something you know how to do will be useful to them. Instead of giving them a fish, teach them how to catch some.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6. It's just one thing after another all day long. Try not to get discouraged. Keep working through each challenge. There's an end to this, and there might be a pot of gold there.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6. Don't bail out a friend in need. Offer encouragement instead. This person can pay his or her own way. Suggest that your friend knock again on a door that was previously closed.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 6. You're a master communicator who can talk the paint off the walls. Buttoday, your message isn't getting across. It's action, not words, that will do the trick. Prove you know what you've been talking about.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — today is a b.
Don't depend too heavily on your partner,
even if he or she is an expert. Something
this person tries is going to fall flat. It
might be several things, actually. Well,
everybody has their off days. Offer whatever
assistance you can, including some
plans of your own.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
One of the ways around the problems you face is to simply leave. Run away from them. This may seem like a good alternative, and sometimes it is. But this time, it isn't. Stick it out.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)—Today is a 7.
The path ahead seems blocked. All the doors are closed. Should you give up?
Don't be ridiculous. Look around. There's a way out.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
Bide your time and review your options.
More will become available in a day or two.
Meanwhile, don't bang your head against a door that's locked. Knock a couple of times, then do something else.
Nobody's home.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) —Today is a 6.
The exams are almost over, but there are still a few more before you graduate to the next level. Some of your most cherished assumptions may be questioned, but don't worry. Your goal has always been to discover the truth, and that's what you're doing.
Can you get somebody else to cover for you? You need a break from your hectic routine. So what if it's a Wednesday? Make love your top priority.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19)—Today is a $ \mathcal{L} $ .
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is an R
The testing you're putting yourself through is just about over. You'll be getting much stronger soon. In a way, love is becoming stronger than fear. Get ready to take action.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) —Today is a 5.
You've got a lot on your mind. Your friends and family may notice that you seem preoccupied. You're thinking, making plans.
Maybe even contemplating, meditating and/or praying. Let them know you'll be back pretty soon.
Former Buccaneers coach Dungy secures agreement with Colts
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Tony Dungy didn't need much time to get a new job.
Eight days after being fired in Tampa Bay, Dungy reached an agreement in principle to coach the Indianapolis Colts. A formal introduction is expected today.
"Colts president Bill Polian and Ray Anderson, coach Dungy's representative, are working out the final details," Polian said in a statement. "Both parties expect things will go smoothly."
Anderson said the pact bringing Dungy to Indianapolis was all but finished and hinted that it was a five-year contract. CBSSportline.com reported the deal was worth about $11 million, but Anderson would not confirm that figure.
parties expect things to happen.
Polian was not available to take questions and a phone message left on Dungy's home answering machine in Tampa, Fla., was not immediately returned. Dungy had returned home after being in Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl earlier yesterday. Anderson said.
"It's not officially done until it's signed off on." Anderson said. "We haven't worked everything out, but there's nothing that's insurmountable."
Team owner Jim Irsay did not return a telephone message left at his office yesterday.
Dungy, 46, was fired by Tampa Bay last week. The Colts fired coach Jim Mora on Jan. 8, primarily because he refused to get rid of former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Fangio has since accepted the coordinator's post with the expansion Houston Texans.
pila in the white cage. But Dungy also fit the profile Polian wanted—a defensive-minded coach whose system would work with young players. Polian believed Fangio's system was too complex for the Colts' young defense.

Dungy was the most successful coach in Buccaneers history, going 54-42 in six seasons and leading the team to the playoffs four times. The Bucs were 9-8 this season, including a loss to Philadelphia in the wild-card round.
But Dungy's defenses ranked among the league's best throughout his tenure with the Buccaneers, including No. 1 rankings in 1998 and 2000.

Mora went 32-34 and took Indianapolis to the playoffs twice in four seasons. The Colts went 6-10 this season.

Gold medalist in speedskating dies at 91

The Colts ranked 29th in defense last season.
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Jack Shea, the patriarch of the first family with three generations of Olympians, died early yesterday from injuries in a car accident. At 91, he was America's oldest living Winter Games gold medalist.
Shea's grandson, Jim Shea Jr., qualified last month for the U.S. Olympic skeleton team for the Salt Lake City Games. Jim Shea Sr. competed in the Nordic combined and two cross-country ski races at the 1964 Innsbruck Games.
Jack Shea won two gold medals in speedskating at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, his hometown.
The Monday afternoon car crash occurred in Lake Placid, N.Y., less than a mile from Shea's home. A van driven by Herbert J. Reynolds, 36, of Saranac Lake, N.Y., slid out of control and hit Shea's car, police said.
Speedskating didn't come naturally to Jack Shea. His first race -at age 7- was a disaster that saw him sprawled on the ice 15 feet from the starting line. In tears, he was picked up off the ice by the local police chief, Tom Black, who told him there would be other races.
When the Winter Games came to Lake Placid for the first time in 1932, the 22-year-old Shea skated past the Scandinavian stars to win gold in the 500-meter event in 43.4 seconds. That was six-tenths of a second faster than his idol, Charles Jewtraw, posted in winning gold in 1924 at Chamonix.
Reynolds was arrested for driving while intoxicated and other charges.
"When I stood on that dais to get the gold medal and I heard the national anthem of the United States, how proud I was to represent my country, my community, my father and mother, to follow in the footsteps of Charlie Jewtraw," Shea said in 1990.

Baseball alum's donation to finance new stadium
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A former Penn State baseball player has pledged $2.5 million — about half the estimated cost — toward the construction of a new baseball facility.
Anthony P. Lubrano's gift is the second-largest individual donation for a Penn State sports facility project.
Plans for the stadium include 2,000 to 3,000 seats, locker rooms, a press box and stadium lights.
SWIMMING Moses breaks records at World Cup swimming meet
STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Ed Moses of the United States broke world records in the 50- and 200-meter breast-strokes at a World Cup meet Tuesday.
Moses swam the 50-meter event in 26.28 seconds, improving on the old mark of 26.70, set in 1998 by Germany's Mark Warnecke.
Less than an hour later, the 21-year-old Moses, of Burke, Va., returned to the pool and broke his own 200-meter breaststroke mark by finishing in 2:03.28.
It was his third world record in four days. He set the previous 200-meter record on Friday in a World Cup meet in Paris.
Moses won two silver medals at the Sydney Olympics, in the 100 breaststroke and in a medley relay.
