Celebrate in July and set new goals again in August. 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 5 — Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6 — (Quit 19) Today is a 5 You're not quite up to speed yet, and you could get frustrated. Why send your blood pressure through the roof? Instead, enjoy the scenery while you're stuck wherever you are. Make a list of what works and what doesn't. Everybody's trying to get your attention. Unfortunately, there's only so much of it to go around. You'd like to save a little for yourself, tool Do the job for the money but don't on a bunch of other projec ts. If you run yourself rogged, you'll get sick. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7 — A hassle between two strong individuals may end in a standoff. You can be the translator or referee, but don't get between them. The battle isn't yours, so don't divert their energy. You sure don't want them both mad at you! Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6 — You could spend all day running from one end of town to the other and still not get everything you want. Instead of wasting time and money, call ahead. Don't get embroiled in a neighbor's problems. You'll be more help if you stay objective. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5 - Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5 — There's not quite enough money to go around. Either cut costs or increase your revenue. Cutting costs is the easiest solution now, even though it may not seem like that at first. A Cancer who's good with numbers could help. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5 — Get ready for a clash. The way you see things and the way somebody else does are off by 180 degrees. Unfortunately, this person could be important to you, so don't just walk away. Besides, there may be a lesson to be learned. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6 — You should be through the worst of it. You're actually lucky — and smart, too. You may get further than you thought. Don't be too upset if you don't get to where you wanted to be — yet. **scorpio** (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — You may get to be the arbitrator this time. If your sweetheart and a friend are in a tug of war, offer to reiterate. They may have more in common than they realize. It'll be obvious to you, of course. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5 — Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 — The worst of it is just about over. You'll feel much better tomorrow and have more freedom to speak your mind. Today, however, wait. When you get the opportunity to make the clinching argument, be ready Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 5- this would be a good day for you if you there wasn't so much whining going on. A couple of other people can't seem to get along. You may be ready to fire them both if you could. Probably not a great idea. Chill out. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — Look at the numbers one more time. Figure out how much you'll need to finance your next project. List all the things you'd like to buy. You don't have to know where you'll get the money; just get prepared. Opportunity might knock. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6 — Use constructive criticism, but don't take the blame for something that's not your fault. There's a difference between being responsible and being wrong. Be responsible and put in a correction.

Chinese leave athletes for failing drug tests OLYMPICS SYDNEY, Australia — Chinese Olympic officials, after acknowledging that nearly all of the 27 athletes bounced from their team had failed drug tests, charged that the problem was not limited to China.

"It's a global problem." Germany. Shortly after arriving in Sydney yesterday, Huxian said the overwhelm ing majority of those behind in China showed suspicious results for EPO. Initially, China had said 13 athletes tested positive for the drug. Before coming to Sydney, Chinese officials had said some of the dropped athletes — among them swimmers, rowers, canoeists and track and field competitors — were injured, sick or performing poorly. Six of the banned athletes were runners trained by famed coach Ma Junren. Huixian said that Junren was responsible for the failed tests of his runners.

The Associated Press Dean Smith endorses ban on college betting in Nevada WASHINGTON — Dean Smith, college basketball's career victory leader, sought another win yesterday by endorsing an effort in Congress to outlaw gambling on collegiate sports. "We're talking about something that can taint young people," said Smith, who retired in 1997 after 36 seasons and 879 victory at the University of North Carolina. He said he was not troubled by the fact that the legislation would affect only Nevada, the one state where betting on college sports is legal. "It can't hurt anybody in Vegas," he said. "Casinos can still take (bets on) the pro games. It isn't like they aren't making enough money." Lawmakers who support the betting ban brought Smith to Capitol Hill in hopes of gaining some end-ofsession momentum for legislation in both chambers. The Senate Commerce Committee approved the ban in April, but it has not come up for a vote on the floor. The House Judiciary Committee will consider the legislation tomorrow. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., said he has been assured by Majority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi that the bill's supporters will get a chance this year to muster 60 votes to break a certain filibuster by Nevada's senators. Sen. Richard Bryan, D-Nev., warned gambling advocates in his state recently that the ban would likely pass by a veto-proof majority if it gets to a vote on the floor. A sponsor of the bill in the House, Rep. Lindsey Graham, R.S.C., said he is certain at least 300 of the 435 representatives would support it. Kentucky basketball coach Tubby Smith and South Carolina football coach Lou Holtz testified during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in June that players are under pressure to lose games or shave points from a victory margin. Smith is one of several high-profile college coaches enlisted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, a major force behind the bill. Defenders of Nevada's sports-betting industry say 99 percent of gambling on college sports occurs illegally on college campuses The Nevada gambling industry took in $2.3 billion in sports wagers in fiscal 1999, with 30 percent to 40 percent bet on college sports. A 1929 law signed by President George Bush banned sports wagering in 47 states. Nevada got an exemption, as did Oregon, which allows betting on pro football through a lottery, and Delaware, which has not adopted sports betting despite a 1976 public vote approving it. rather than legally in Nevada casinos. The legislation, they say, would harm Nevada without making a dent in a national problem. New Jersey was given one year to decide whether to sanction sports betting but never held a referendum. Proponents, including Smith, say a ban would have national repercussions because it would encourage newspapers to stop printing point spreads for college games. The Newspaper Association of America disagrees. It predicts newspapers will continue to print point spreads because they appeared to be useful to readers who have no intention of betting on games.
