HOROSCOPES
Your work could bring you lots of benefits this year, not the least of which is romance.
Today's Birthday (April 20).
Aries; Today is a 6.
It looks like you can't afford to do something you want to do with friends. This is actually a blessing in disguise. It'll force you to work even harder. Why not enroll your friends in the project? The result will be an increase in income for all of you. Might as well get busy.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You may feel like someone is trying to block your every move. Unfortunately, the direct approach is not going to work. If you just say what's on your mind, you'll probably get fired. Even if this isn't a work situation, the whole truth could get you into trouble.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
Travel plans may have to be curtailed for a while. There are things to finish up first. Perhaps you could have your friend visit you instead. Something you sent for a while back could finally arrive.
Cancer: Today is a 9.
Your friends love to come to you for advice, especially for their emotional problems. It looks like you have a problem or two of your own. If that's the case, ask one of these friends for a return on your investment. Turnabout is fair play.
Leo: Todav is a 6.
You and your partner will have to team up if you're going to win this argument. An older person has more influence than either of you would like to admit. It's going to be more difficult than you thought it would be.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
This is a time of learning, travel, romance excitement, adventure, and maybe even a forever commitment. If you've been writing your novel, now's the time to send it to the publisher.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Todav is a 6.
You'd like to stay home and snuggle all day. Unfortunately, the odds of getting the day off work are slim. Even if you're self-employed, there's something that has to be done, and done by you.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Partnerships will play an important role in your life for the next month or so. You may notice a difference when your own partner gets a little more vocal. He or she might try to tell you what to do for a change.
You're doing very well with your career. Technical skills you're acquiring certainly help. You're finding a use for them on a daily basis. If you haven't been acquiring new skills, you'd better hurry.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
It looks like travel is the focus of your attention. How long has it been since you've gone abroad? More money may be going out than coming in, so don't make this a business trip. Romance is probably involved.
The coming phase will be good for working on household matters. To start off, you and a roommate have something to discuss. It's been in the back of both of your minds for some time.
Pisces: Today is a 9.
You're feeling more confident, and it's easier for you to make decisions. The bad news is that you're under pressure to decide and you don't feel you have quite enough information yet. You may be right. Get a postponement until tomorrow, if at all possible.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Larry Sutton has made the most of his few hits this season.
Sutton, Palmer swing Royals past Oakland
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Sutton went 4-for-4 with three RBIs on Sunday, and Dean Palmer
had three hits, which led the Kansas City Royals to a 7-3 win over the Oakland Athletics.

But if that's going to be by getting one hit and four runs batted in, then so be it."
has just 10 hits, Sutton has 12 RBIs. His first four-hit game raised his average from .140 to .213.
"I know my average is going to go up. I know I'll get my doubles and home runs," the rookie said. "I
Pat Rapp (1-1) survived nine hits and two walks during five and two-thirds innings and was helped by the Royals turning a season-high four double plays.
The A's are 4-12, their worst start after 16 games since moving to Oakland in 1968.
"These are teams that we should match well against," Oakland manager Art Howe said. "They're not the Yankees or the Red Sox. They just outplayed us."
Palmer had a triple, two RBIs and two runs scored. Jose Rosado pitched three innings and earned his first save.
Prieto gave up six runs and 11 hits in four and two-thirds innings. He has allowed 11 runs in eight and one-third innings in his last two starts.
Prieto seemed frustrated by Kansas City's patient approach at the plate.
"I had nothing," Prieto said.
"Everything I threw, they hit. I was able to throw the sinker, but I can't get them to do anything (with it)."
"They've done everything to motivate him," said Mark Wetmore, Nedii's agent. "Apparently there's a lot more focus on the other guys, and that's the way he likes it."
Kenyans gearing up for Boston Marathon
Then he found out his bib number for the race was No. 6. His Kenyan compatriot, Moses Tanui, had been awarded the No.1 jersey.
BOSTON -- Cosmas Ndeti walked into the cafeteria of the Boston Marathon headquarters and noticed only one small picture of himself on the wall.
Nedti is a three-time winner in Boston and the course recordholder. If he has been overlooked in the pre-race buildup, he does not expect to be a forgotten man at the finish today.
He appears in top condition, similar to 1993 when he made his international breakthrough by winning Boston for the first time.
The women's field was supposed to include the Nos.1,2 and 3 finishers from last year, Ethiopia's Fatuma Roba and South Africans Elana Meyer and Colleen de Reuck, but Meyer was forced to withdraw because of a lower back injury. Also competing are Portugal's Manuela Machado, the 1995 world champion and 1997 world runner-up; Romania's Anuta Catuna, the 1996 NYC Marathon winner, and 1997 U.S. 5,000-meter champion Libbie Hickman, the only elite American in the race.
"For me, Boston means more than the Olympics because it's such a historical event," Tanui said. "Boston is a special race. It's a big race. We have all the top runners here."
"I'm going to win. There's no doubt," he said. "I have faith I can still win. I have to prove I can still win even though I've won three times. This is my favorite marathon course."
After winning again in 1994 and 1995, Netii slipped to third in 1996 and 27th last year, when he was beset with malaria and an ailing left knee.
With last year's winner, Lameck Aguta, missing the marathon while recovering from head injuries he sustained after being assaulted and robbed last July in Kenya, Tanui — winner of the 100th Boston Marathon — was given bib No. 1.
Nedi will try to join Clarence DeMar (seven) and Gerard Cote of Canada and Bill Rodgers (four each) as the only four-time winners in the race's 102-year history.
If Ndeti or a compatriot wins, it would be the eighth consecutive victory for a Kenyan.
There will be about 11,500 starters, and the men's and women's winners will receive $80,000 each.
Florida football recruit drowns in ocean tide
McGriff, 19, an All-American football star at Palm Bay High School who signed with the Gators in February, drowned Friday afternoon after being pulled out to sea by a strong riptide.
INDIALANTIC, Fla.
Searchers found the body of prized Florida football recruit James McGriff near shore Saturday, not far from where he was pulled away by a rip current a day before.
"You had to know, but you wanted to wait because you couldn't believe it happened," said Melbourne Palm Bay athletic director Charlie Schack.
McGriff was cooling off in waist-deep water at Melbourne Beach with his girlfriend when they were pulled away from shore. The girlfriend managed to swim to safety, but he quickly disappeared in the water.
"We share our grief and give our condolences to the McGriff family, especially to James" mother who did such an outstanding job raising a fine young man," Florida coach Steve Spurrier said in a statement.
The search for his body had been called off at nightfall Friday.
A jogger found McGriff's body in the surf on Indialantic Beach at 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
Several swimmers came close to reaching McGriff before he went under for the last time, but grew too tired to continue their rescue attempt.
