HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Oct. 30)
Your day may start out a little stressful. You have a lot to do before you start the weekend, but someone you have had your eye on will finally ask you out this weekend.
Aries: Today is a 6.
A new beginning is not so wonderful if you are unprepared for it. There is a certain wildness in the air that makes this a dangerous day. If you start showing your feelings, you may not be able to stop.
Taurus: Today is a 5.
Today you are unusually sensitive to changes in the group mood. Defuse a situation where someone is jealous of another's popularity. People in relationships may have a challenging day.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Today you are a searchlight sweeping across a darkened landscape, picking out details that others have missed. Set aside your own longings for awhile. Put your brain power to use for the common good.
Cancer: Todav is a 7.
The Moon brings its art supplies on this visit to Scorpio's house.
pio's house. You are creative in ways that you never imagined possible. Even the common and the obvious represent the height of artistic expression.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Superficial approaches will not succeed today, unless your goal is failure. Time wasted by bloating about your riches could make them worthless. Discover missing clues by paying attention to others' ideas and actions.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Deep connections become increasingly obvious. Other people's words prove to be your best resources today. You have a unique opportunity to ask the right questions.
Libra: Today is a 6.
If you are having a hard time sharing, today is the day to sit down and ask yourself why. Material possessions may be using up the space reserved for something priceless and intangible. A professional life is no substitute for spirituality.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Today you embody all that is deep and wild. You are both enslaved and empowered by your natural urges. This is a day whose deeds will be recalled with hushed voices and incredulous head shaking.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Wisdom is the ability to balance cool observation with human warmth. Friends and associates turn to you as the expert decision-maker today. Act out of caring, out of desire for personal gain.
Your fire burns low today, but that does not slow down your rich internal life. The company of others seems abrasive. Because you may not be of much use to anyone else, take some time to figure out what it all means.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You may feel as if you have been passed over for privilege or promotion. An accelerating world seems to leave you behind in its dust today. Drown your sorrows in a community-oriented project.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
An old belief system re-emerges as something vital and relevant to your daily life. Excitement makes you restless. Try not to take it personally if others find you incoherent today.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals exercised their $2.8 million option on reliever Jeff Montgomery was.
Royals pick up option on reliever Montgomery
Montgomery yesterday.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"He proved his value to us in 1997, as our bullpen really struggled when he was not at full strength during the season's first
half," said Herk Robinson, general manager.
Montgomery, 35, is the Royals' career-saves leader and ranks 12th on baseball's list with 256 saves. His career record is 43-43, with a 2.91 ERA.
Montgomery, a 10-year veteran, had shoulder surgery in August 1996. He was 1-4 with a 3.49 ERA in 1997, converting 14 of 17 save chances, including his last 11.
Lincoln mayor requests football fans give up rooms
LINCOLN, Neb. — The mayor begged football fans coming to Lincoln for Saturday's game between Ohio.
Oklahoma and top-ranked Nebraska to give up their hotel rooms so storm victims who were still without electricity could stay in the rooms.
Of the city's 3,300 hotel and motel rooms, more than 2,200 were occupied yesterday. Many of the people are staying in the rooms to avoid cold homes that are without electricity.
Mayor Mike Johanns said he did not want those people forced out of
their rooms by people coming in from around the state and outside Nebraska for the football game.
Many of the people staying in local hotels and motels are elderly or parents with young children, Johanns said.
people in Lincoln were without electricity yesterday — the fourth day since an early winter snowstorm struck, knocking down tree limbs and power lines. Power-company officials said some might not have service until early next week.
Johanns said he would like to see the downtown in better condition than it will be when the expected 80,000 fans arrive. But he denied that cleanup was being ignored in other parts of the city while debris in the downtown was being cleared.
The University of Nebraska will open Cook Pavilion — the Cornhuskers' indoor, covered practice field — for people who are willing to bring a pillow and sleeping bag and sleep on the floor. The mayor described it as a giant slumber party.
Police recover golf balls after storage-unit theft
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — A burglar brought a whole new meaning to taking a mulligan.
Someone made off with 107,000 golf balls this weekend after slicing through a metal locking plate on a storage unit at a Nitro Golf warehouse.
tacted Nitro's plant in Myrtle Beach, S.C., said Jim Crawford, vice president of finance for Nitro Leisure Products, based in North Richland Hills, Texas.
"We were able to verify (they were stolen) by the product code that was on the box," Crawford said. "When we told them those balls were in fact stolen, they turned the property back over to us."
But the 214 boxes of recycled balls were recovered yesterday after someone, who claimed he bought the balls from a wholesaler in Florida, suspected the balls might be stolen. The person then con-
No arrests had been made yesterday, said Theresa Woodson, Port St. Lucie police representative.
Nitro recycles 30 to 35 million golf balls a year for resale, Crawford said.
The theft was discovered Monday. The balls are worth about 22 cents each, or $23,540 for the load, which would fill a truck.
Some golf courses dredge water traps and sell the recovered balls to companies that recycle the balls. But those balls typically still are dirty when sold in bags of 500 or 600
The clean finish on the stolen Nitro balls was the giveaway.
Vikings search for buyer to conquer team's debt
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings secretly have been on the market for at least two
months, and board members already have entertained four out-of-state prospective buyers, according to a published report.
The suitors represent Los Angeles, Toronto, Birmingham, Ala., and another unidentified area, the "Star Tribune" reported yesterday. It is believed the unidentified bidder intends to keep the team in the Twin Cities.
chase the team, said Philip Maas, Vikings vice chairman and part owner.
Maas said the four potential buyers had visited the Twin Cities to meet with a three-person board-of-directors committee that is charged with entertaining offers and executing a sale.
Board members already have rejected a $150 million bid to pur-
The Vikings' asking price is estimated to be between $150 million and $210 million, depending on how an offer is structured to include the team's debt.
Italy ties with Russia in World Cup playoff
MOSCOW — Italy, trying to avoid missing the World Cup for the first time since 1958, gave up an own-goal in the second half and tied Russia 1-1 last night in a key World Cup playoff.
In a game played in steady snow and sharp wind, the teams used an orange ball to contrast against the snow.
No potential buyer has emerged as a front-runner, a second team source said.
To qualify, Italy must either defeat Russia in the return leg of the playoffs at Naples on Nov. 15 or play to a scoreless tie.
Russia would qualify for the 32 team field in France next summer with a win or a tie of 2-2 or higher. A 1-1 tie in the second leg would force sudden-death overtime and possibly penalty kicks.
The harsh weather limited attendance in the 45,000-seat stadium to 20,000, including Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin and a few hundred hardy flag-waving Italians.
Christian Vieri scored for Italy five minutes into the second half, but Fabio Cannavaro accidentally put the ball in his own net two minutes later.
