HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 18).
Today's birthday (September 10).
This could be a profitable year for you. Push yourself out of your rut in September. Go for the job of your dreams in October. Get what you want for your home in December. Work like a banshee to meet the demand in February. Ride the tide to success on your past accomplishments in June. You've already done the work by then, so you can relax.
To get an advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Spend all day reading a book. That's the best way to solve a puzzle at work, too. You haven't solved it already because there's something you don't know.
So follow an older friend's advice and find out.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
Your money is always important to you, now more than ever. If you stick with a strict budget, you could accumulate quite a lot. It may not be easy, but it sure could be profitable. Do the homework.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
After a slow start, you should gain momentum rapidly. Soon, you'll be far ahead of your competition. Set the machinery in place to accomplish your goals. Get the support of a person you care about a lot. This person is nearby, maybe even occupying the same living space.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Listen to a nagging feeling in the back of your head. Maybe you're trying to tell yourself something. History is probably not repeating itself, but you might avoid a future problem by reviewing a similar past situation.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7. A friend's suggestion could cost you more than it's worth. Don't get locked into buying something you don't want and can live without. You'd be wiser to spend on yourself by signing up for a class to improve your skills.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
If the person who signs your paycheck has a crazy new idea, focus on making it work. If you can, profitably, you might earn a bonus. If you insist that it can't be done, even if you think you're right, you'll make minus points.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
Contact a foreigner but don't try to visit yet. Don't worry if an answer or package is delayed, either.
It's most likely due to a problem beyond your control. Be patient and cheerful, and you'll succeed.
Eventually.
Scorpia (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
You have important friends, but don't bet too heavily on them. They may not be able to help you even if they wish they could. Rely on your secret resources.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You may find another person quite attractive.
Don't get fixated, however, especially at work. Your boss will not be amused if you're not in the right place at the right time. Better set your alarm an hour early.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
Work needs to be done. There's money to be made, too. If your heart's not in it, maybe that's because you'd rather be somewhere else. You might make a connection on Thursday, but otherwise, forget it. Concentrate on what you're doing instead so you don't goof up.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 9.
You are lucky — and getting luckier by the minute. Don't take anything for granted. One reason you're so successful is because you do the homework. Another is that you're so creative. Use those skills to gain a prize you've long sought.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.
Speak up to make sure your wishes are known.
You don't want a change to wreck something you like. If your money's involved, all the more reason to holler. Don't worry; you won't ruin the friendship — probably.
BASEBALL
ARLINGTON, Texas — Gabe Kaper was 2-for-4 and drove in three runs as the Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 6-5 yesterday.
Kapler leads Rangers to win against Rayals
Kapler, who had 13 RBIs in the four-game series, hit a two-run homer in the first after Frank Catalanotto's solo home run and Rafael Palmeiro's single. Kapler added an RBI single in the fifth after Palmeiro tripled.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
In 29 games since his 28-game hitting streak — the longest in the majors this season — Kapler is hitting .336 (39-for116). He has 47 RBIs in the last 57 games.
Kenny Rogers (13-13) allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings, winning his second straight start after going 0-4 in a six-start span. John Wetland got the last two outs for his 34th save in 42 chances.

Tennessee 23
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Jesse Palmer threw a questionable 3-yard touchdown pass to Jabar Gaffney with 14 seconds left, helping No. 6 Florida rally and beat No. 11 Tennessee on Saturday.
Their 23-game home winning streak came to an end before a Neyland Stadium-record crowd of 108,768, and the Vols lost on a play that will be debated for a long time.
On first-and-goal from the Tennessee 3, Palmer threw a quick strike to Gaffney just over the goal line. Gaffney had the ball for an instant and then dropped it as he was surrounded by
The loss offset a magnificent performance by Tennessee's Travis Henry, who carried 37 times for 175 yards and a touchdown. Palmer was 20-of-43 for 290 yards and had at least a half dozen passes dropped in the first half.

Michigan's Anthony Thomas gained 182 yards on 24 carries to top the 100-yard mark for the 11th time in 12 games.
MADISON, Wis. — Eddie Faulkner scored on a 16-year run in overtime, helping Wisconsin avoid a second straight loss to Cincinnati.
No. 4 Wisconsin 28, Cincinnati 25, OT
A loss to the Bearcats would have been devastating to the Badgers (3-0) but not as stunning as last year's 17-12 stumble.
Faulner had 19 carries for a career-best 124 yards. He was playing in place of Michael Bennett, among a dozen players who served suspensions for receiving unadvertised discounts at a store.
Wisconsin went ahead 22-19 on Brooks Bollinger's 1-yard dive with 23 seconds left in regulation. But Cincinnati's Jason Mammarelli kicked a 46-yard field goal as time expired.
In overtime, Cincinnati's Jonathan Ruffin, who missed an extra point in the fourth quarter, kicked a 20-yard field goal. Wisconsin has won 11 straight games.
No. 2 Florida St. 63, North Carolina 14 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Chris Weinke threw four touchdown passes, helping Florida State extend the country's longest winning streak to 15.
Weinke passed for 262 yards and connected with Snoop Minnis and Atrews Bell for a pair of touchdowns each.
The Seminoles (3,0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) have won 24 straight regular-season games since a 1998 loss at North Carolina State. The 63 points were the most scored against North Carolina since Virginia's 66 points in 1912.
Lee Suggs ran for four touchdowns for the Hokies (3-0, 1-0 Big East), who led 35-0 at halftime in obliterating Rutgers' hope for its first 3-0 start since 1981.
No. 8 Virginia Tech 49, Rutgers 0
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Michael Vick scored on a dazzling flip into the end zone, threw for a touchdown and set up a third with a 45-yard escape and run.
Vick passed for 105 yards and rushed for 104 in the opening half, including the 8-yard flip that made it 28-0. He finished 10-for-18 for 120 yards, including a 17-yard TD pass to Emmett Johnson.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Nick Setta kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired, lifting Notre Dame past mistake-prone Purdue.

OLYMPICS
Olympic ticket sales reach record level
More than 85 percent of Sydney's tickets have been sold, compared with the previous record of 82.3 per cent for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
SYDNEY, Australia — The successful first weekend of the Olympics and the biggest single day of sales yesterday have helped Sydney set an Olympic ticket sales record.
Sydney Games organizing commit-
organizing committee ticket manager John O'Neill said ticket buyers had been swept along by the Olympic spin it.
More than 5.5 million tickets to events in Sydney and nearly 650,000 to soccer matches in Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have been sold. About 1 million tickets remain available.
O'Neill would not say whether the late ticket rush would reduce the organizing committee's shortfall of about $65 to $70 million.
People waited in line for up to three hours at box offices yesterday as 65,000 tickets were sold. Tempers flared when many potential purchasers found that tickets to several events were not available.
"We are cautiously optimistic given the booming ticket sales, but we won't know exactly what our budget position is until we finish selling tickets at the end of the games," he said.
