HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (June 10).
You may not be able to avoid practical matters any longer. Get realistic about romance in June. Study in July, and you can make a commitment in August. September could be very expensive or very profitable, depending upon how you play it.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Resist the temptation to move too quickly. That is one of your most persistent problems. Remember to be sensitive and gentle, no matter what you do. At work, pay attention to the details. A little extra time spent now will be greatly appreciated later.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Somebody could try to push through a proposal that has serious flaws. If the idea will work, give it your agreement. If it is half-baked, send it back! For a good time, check out a club meeting or seminar tonight. You could meet an old friend.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Watch for a brilliant idea from an unexpected source this morning. Study a technical subject to keep ahead of the competition. The more you know, the more valuable you are. If your house needs cleaning, you should do that tonight. Company could drop by tomorrow.
You should be able to concentrate well today. If you have accumulated a stack of highly detailed work, dive into it. Avoid a person who wants to talk about something other than what you are trying to get done. Be firm, but polite, in defending your privacy.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Is there something in your life that needs cleaning up? It is the time to do it. There is not much point in talking about things. Put off the delicate negotiations for a couple of days. Your love life should get better then.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The moon is going into your sign and that always makes you feel great. There may be controversy raging around you, however. They are arguing about the best course of action to follow. You may be the only one who really understands the bottom line. Be firm, but be gentle.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
This is not a good day for negotiations. People will haggle about every little detail. If you are trying to get a group to work together, concentrate on the business aspects and who is going to pay for it.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
A hassle this morning should be-settled by this afternoon. It should be easier to get interested in highly detailed work then. Discuss a household project with your true love this evening. You may decide to throw out the old and buy new.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today, your boss may expect perfection. You know what is supposed to be done. Stop arguing with reality and do it. Show you can play by the rules, and you may move up the ladder toward your next promotion quicker than you expected.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Your memory should be working well, along with your ability to spot errors. If you have quality control inspection in your stack of work to be done, tackle that today. Postpone most social interactions until later in the evening.
Today will be marked by petty annoyances. They might get in the way of your peace of mind, but they should not stop you from getting the job done. They might help you develop a better product or service. Learn to accept constructive criticism gracefully.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Life does not have to be overwhelming. If there is too much to do, spread the work around. A practical friend might be willing to help, if you would just ask. That would certainly make your afternoon more enjoyable. Expect a change in orders tonight.

place.
CINCINNATI — Casey Martin is going to try to keep a low profile — something that is probably out of the question as long as he rides a cart — and enjoy every moment of his first U.S. Open.
Martin to use golf cart in U.S. Open debut
It took him four tries and an improbable finish to get there.
His 25-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole clinched it and left him struggling to realize what had happened — and what comes next.
Martin thought he had blown his chance to qualify Monday when he double-bogeyed his 36th hole at Clovermoor Country Club. He sat in a car and watched raindrops dribble down the windshield while the rest of the field came in, then learned he had finished in a five-way tie for the final spot.
"I have never experienced the competition that will be out there," Martin said. "I have never experienced the pressure I'm probably going to feel. So I'm not getting my hopes up too much."
will be playing a tough course against some of the players who strongly objected to him riding in a cart. He won a court order last February allowing him to ride because a circulatory problem with his right leg makes walking painful.
"I'm going to fly around the Open. I don't think I'll need a cart. I'll be so pumped," he said.
His morning round started omnously when his newfangled, oneperson cart, shipped in for thequalifier, quit on the second hole. He had accidentally kicked thepower switch.
For a few moments Monday,
Martin thought he was out.
When he tees off at the Olympic Club in San Francisco June 18, he
Martin walked two holes while the problem was uncovered. He also had difficulty adjusting to the green and gray cart, which has a different braking system than a standard, two-seat cart. He nearly clipped a course official when he hit a bump on one hole.
"There are a few kinks that need to get worked out." Martin said.
Despite the unfamiliar cart, Martin was among the leaders for the five U.S. Open berths when he teed off on the 36th hole, a 467-yard par-4. His first shot landed under a tree to the right of the fairway. His approach shot was short, and he needed two putts.
Martin was visibly angry after the double-bogey left him at 2-under-par 138.
"You work hard all day, play for eight hours, 36 holes. You get yourself in that position, and you can't finish it off — that would get you a little upset," said Philip Geiger, who was part of Martin's threesome.
Martin sat in a car with his friend, Eric Johnson, who also came in at 138.
"I cried on his shoulder," Martin said.

Nomo leaves Hollywood for a piece of the Big Apple
NEW YORK — Japanese pitcher Hideo Nomo was 3,000 miles and three years removed the last time this much attention surrounded him.
In 1995, Nomomania was in its infancy when the Japanese sensation became the most talked about pitcher
He mystified hitters on the way to being named NL Rookie of the Year for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was a star then. Now he is trying to fit in as a fifth starter for the New York Mets. Nomo was traded by the Dodgers to the Mets. Nomowill be watched by the Mets and fan
Nomo: happy to be with a new team, old catcher.
Theories abound as to why Nomo is not the same.
He tips his pitches. Hitters have figured out his quirk delivery. He has lost his confidence.
"Simply put, I've been getting hit," he said.
Nomo has one of his own.
wondering why he is 2-7 this season and what has caused his numbers to drop steadily the past three seasons.
Nomomania has arrived in the Big Apple.
The Mets introduced Nomo to a packed news conference about an hour before Monday's game, and true to his reserved nature, Nomo politely answered questions from both Japanese and local media members without showing much emotion.
The Mets are hoping they can straighten out Nomo, who underwent arthropodic surgery on his pitching elbow last fall and has struggled recent
