HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (April 8)
Follow your dreams today. Don't let anyone tell you that you are unable to do something. As long as you are willing to try, it can be done.
Aries: Today is a 5.
Patience may be forced on you today, and you would be unwise to resist it. The Taurus Moon slows you down and asks you to take a second look. Be persistent with calm tones and gracious words.
Taurus: Today is a 9.
You are the picture of casual confidence today. Everything is happening in harmony with a full orchestra and a rousing chorus. Others are eager to be onstage with you. You are generous in your glory.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Today you are frozen in quandary between the active and the passive. There is just as much to be gained by going out and exploring as there is by sitting still and letting the world come to you. Mystery is where you find it.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You are likely to be at the center of any group's attention today. If you are in search of knowledge, your questions are sure to be answered. Whatever you seek, your chances of getting it are excellent.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Although accustomed to all the glory, it is your turn to put in the hard work behind the scenes. Simple rhetoric is of little use against complex problems. Look at this experience as a chance to justify your reputation.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
By taking a philosophical approach, you gain perspective on a seemingly ordinary matter. Put your newly found knowledge into action. With the basics firmly in place, you learn by doing.
Libra: Today is a 7.
You are filled with wonder and are impressed easily. You may be a little too susceptible to someone who could dupe you with his charm. Try to show good judgment in today's choice of fun.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
You are concerned with security today. Consider ways of protecting yourself, your loved ones and all that you own. Be sure you do not confuse real safety with issues of paranoia.
When you talk, others listen. You live up to your reputation of common sense and wisdom today. This is a good time to express yourself creatively. Positive energy is yours for the taking.
Although you would love nothing more than to run off and play, your ethical nature keeps you chained to current obligations. Your skills help you finish the job quickly. There may still be time for a few games.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
The sooner you divert your restless energy, the less your chances of getting into trouble. If you have nothing to do at home or around town, turn your attention inward. A good book or fantasy takes you far from this boring world.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Today you move a little closer to the edge in the spirit of exploration and discovery. A new way of describing things finally connects others to your experience. Emotional bonds become stronger at this time.

Teams looking to swap for better draft picks
PHOENIX — St. Louis and Chicago covet the Arizona Cardinals' No. 3 pick in the coming draft, but they

don't like the
price.
The Cardinals gave up their second-place slot to San Diego last month in
The Rams, who pick fifth, and the Bears, who pick sixth, confirmed they had approached the Cardinals about a trade, though the Cardinals declined to comment, the Arizona Republic said yesterday.
exchange for the third selection, plus a second-round pick, a No. 1 in 1999 and two players.
"Moving to the third spot looks like an improbability to me because of the asking price," Vermeil said. "We used a third, fourth (and seventh) last year to move from No. 6 to No. 1, and they want much, much more than that for us to move from 6 to 3.
"I believe personally they don't want to trade, but if they get what they're asking for, they'll do it." Vermeil added, though he wouldn't say what the Cardinals had demanded
But Rams coach Dick Vermeil said he doubted the Cardinals were very interested — and certainly would be so only on their terms.
Both the Bears and the Rams have their eyes on Florida State defensive Andre Wadsworth — as do the Cardinals.
Bears officials said they also had discussed a trade with the Rams. If the Rams move up that one slot, they expect to draft Penn State running back Curtis Enis, the Republic said.

Sugar Ray Leonard's Olympic coach dies
"When I think about Rolly Schwartz, I think of class," said Leonard, the retired world champion and one of five gold medalists on the team. "Rolly was class personified."
CINCINNATI — Rolly Schwartz, coach and manager of the 1976 U.S. Olympic boxing team who died yesterday, will be missed by the boxing community, Sugar Ray Leonard said.
Schwartz, 84, died at the Hospice of Davton in Davton, Ohio.
In addition to Leonard, the gold medalist at Montreal were brothers Michael and Leon Spinks, Howard Davis and Leo Randolph.
"I was not only the coach, I was the jalier," Schwartz said. "I said it there with a baseball bat. I was only joking, but I told them that if anyone tried to get by me, I'd hit them in the head with it."
the rules of international amateur boxing during more than 50 years in the sport.
Schwartz also played a role in shaping
He helped establish a rule more than 20 years ago that required amateur boxers to wear protective headgear.
He had been associated with the sport since boxing as a youth in Chicago. Schwartz later moved to Cincinnati and helped establish amateur boxing clubs. He also coached boxing at Xavier.
Buddy LaRosa, who helped develop boxer Aaron Pryor, said Schwartz would be missed.
The Associated Press
"He motivated young men to excel," he said. "His death is a great loss to boxing, to greater Cincinnati and to the world of young men he will not have a chance to help."
"We are very optimistic about the interest expressed in the team," Herman said. "We have many more prospective bidders than the three that have come forward publicly."
Proposals requested from Royals bidders
Already announced as being interested in buying the team are groups led by Lamar Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, New York attorney Miles Prentice and former Royals' star George Brett.
The board, along with investment banker J.P. Morgan, will use the non-binding bids to select final bidders for the American League team, which has been without an owner since the death of Ewing Kauffman in 1993.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Prospective bidders for the Kansas City Royals will be asked to submit non-binding preliminary proposals by the end of this month, team president Mike Herman said Tuesday.
Herman said that the board hoped to have a final agreement with the winning bidder by the All-Star break on July 7 and then submit the bidder for approval during the September meetings of the owners.
