HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 20).

Feed a fascination in January. Disrupt your home-to-make it better in February. Your partner's stem admonition is well meant in May and could lead to bounty in June. Save aggressively so you can take a jump in September. Quick thinking leads to profits in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 4.
This sure is Monday, isn't it? A critical co-worker makes you do the job again and again until it's perfect. Don't complain; that'll get back to the boss. Polish the brass and be ready for inspection. It could come at any moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) --- Today is an 8.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 4.
The less said, the better. Keep your head down and listen. A person who's generally secretive might confide in you. That would be wonderful. Otherwise, hang out at keyholes and gather as much information as you can.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8.
The information you're learning helps you express yourself more clearly. Others begin to understand how valuable you are. Don't keep your skills hidden. Let others know what you can do and they'll find of more ways you can help.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
You might feel sluggish today, like you're stuck in the mud. Postpone meetings until tomorrow. You might profit by gathering up money other people owe you. To succeed, you won't have to think quickly; just be stubborn.
You're strong, so carefully calculate your next move. If you're not sure what will happen if you push button "A," read the manual first. A few extra moments spent in preparation will help you avoid an embarrassing mistake.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
You get stronger as the day goes on, but you still need to exercise caution, especially if money is concerned. Don't talk much about your finances. Just stash away as much as you can for later. You'll find a good use for it.
Scarpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Ask friends what you're wondering about. Finding the person who knows won't take long. It's a good day for a fact finding mission. It also a good day to teach you know. Your friends will be fascinated
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5
SIGNATURE (NOV. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
The sense of grim foreboding you awake with may still be there. You may feel overwhelmed by a difficult task that has to be done perfectly. You can rise to this challenge and advance your career. Nobody said it was going to be easy, though.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You have relatively easy going now. You could lap the pack, making it difficult for others to catch up.
You're also lucky in romance with a person you've known for years. A discussion about old times leads to plans for the future.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You may feel inhibited and stifled, with good reason.
An older person is critical. Instead of complaining, fine-tune your act. You'll be more successful tomorrow, so don't worry now. Just apply the coaching.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8.
Push ahead with whatever you've been planning.
Your partner's anxious to start and might even fund this operation. You can make progress on a goal that you've had for ages. Don't wait; you may not get this good a chance again for a while.

Crash with photographer leads to tumor discovery
The Raiders scored a touchdown on the resulting drive.
It may be the best thing that ever happened to the freelance photographer, Mickey Pflegler.
Gonzalez was headed for the sidelines of 3Com Park when a 49er linebacker shoved him out of bounds and into Pflegler. The 51-year-old was knocked unconscious and went into a seizure.
Pfegler was taken to a hospital, where doctors found no serious injuries from the collision. But because of the seizure, they ran a scan of Pfegler's brain.
That test revealed a brain tumor. Doctors did not describe the size of the brain tumor, but described it as being large.
He will have a biopsy performed Thursday, Nov. 30 to see whether the tumor is malignant or benign.
