HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Oct. 22)
You are feeling the middle-of-the-week blues. Everything just seems to be going wrong. Tonight take a break from your busy schedule and let your birthday turn this week around.
Aries: Today is a 7.
You accomplish a lot today, but it may be at the expense of someone else's good will. Clean your home or office as an outlet for feelings of re-uge or a means of regeneration. Even sharp looking people feel dull.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
You feel secure with your place in the world today. Your skills are valued by others, and your selfesteem is high. If single, consider yourself a good catch. Be bold in your approach.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You feel comfortably grounded in the material world today. Move ahead with existing plans despite a momentary lack of confidence. Present a unified front even if there is discord in the ranks.
Start fresh today with an open mind and a happy belly. Your instincts are strong and completely reliable. Fruit reaches the perfect moment of ripeness. You have everything to gain and nothing to hide.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Even if you think you feel wonderful, your mood may be fragile today. Intuition and gut feelings are your navigational tools. Bright colors have a profound effect on your thoughts and emotions.
Libra: Todav is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Be respectful of others' personal dramas whether or not you choose to be included. Postpone negotiations unless you are prepared to give more than you get. Your partner's needs belong at the top of your list.
Sagittarius; Today is a 6.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
Your mind is hard at work, but it feels like play. You seem to get what you want with no apparent effort. The fruits of knowledge weigh down the branches of the simplest, most casual conversations.
You struggle to match orbits with those traveling at vastly different speeds. Forward progress is slowed down by fact-finding side trips. Accept the possibility that you may exceed your budget today.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
An intuitive decision about a color choice is best made with your eyes closed. Even if time is short, do not watch the clock as it divides the day into momentary chunks. The quality of your attention suffers if you spread it too thinly.
Something unwanted rises from the deeps to wreck your timing and alignment. Being emphatic opens the door for hysterical behavior. Trust your instincts to guide you through today's mess.
Pisces: Today is a 9.
Today you are an actor blowing kisses to his or her adoring public. You are correct in assuming that everyone loves you. Illusion works to your advantage. There is magic in mind games.
Injury may rein in Denver's Griffith
DENVER — Denver Broncos fullback Howard Griffith, the lead blocker for AFC rushing leader Terrell Davis, might miss Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills because of a torn knee ligament.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Griffith, who tore the media collateral ligament in his right knee Sept. 28, reinjured the knee during the third quarter of Sunday's 28-25
loss to the Oakland Raiders.
Griffith hasn't missed a start because of injury since 1995, but he missed most of the Atlanta game in Week 5 and did not return after twisting the knee against Oakland. Those are the only games in which Davis has rushed for less than 100 yards.
"If it's still giving him a lot of pain, I'm thinking about giving him a week off, then have him get ready so we don't continue to injure that knee," coach Mike Shanahan said. "I'll have to get a good feel for it this week because he's so tough. He never wants to tell you if he's hurting. We know he's hurting."
"Anybody else could have easily sat out and taken the five weeks and just been done with it," Griffith said.
"But I wanted to play and they felt the knee was strong enough for me to play."
After the initial injury, Griffith was projected to miss 3-5 weeks, but he returned the following week.
Jordan to miss games because of ingrown nails
"It comes down to whether you can deal with the pain because the brace is not going to allow any more damage to the knee," Griffith said.
DEERFIELD, III. — Tickets to the Chicago Bulls' final three exhibition games just got considerably less valuable: Michael Jordan won't be playing.
Jordan had ingrown toenails on both feet removed Sunday, but he still should be ready for the regular-season opener Oct. 31.
Coach Phil Jackson said Monday he was not concerned, even though the nine-time NBA scoring champion will be joined on the sidelines by Scottie Pippen (out until January after foot surgery) and Dennis Rodman (unsigned).

good early in the season because it makes them execute better," Jackson said.
"We're just going to have to play better team basketball, and that's always
In a state m e n t released by the club
Jordan said that he wanted his toenails removed Sunday so he could help the Bulls defend their NBA title.
Jordan also said he was disappointed that he would miss Friday's preseason game against Philadelphia at Chapel Hill, N.C., where he was a college star.
Jackson said Jordan should have no difficulty after he rejoins the team.
"The only thing that'll be a problem for us is the conditioning factor," Jackson said. "I thought he was playing rather well at 30, 32 minutes. I feel now that he'll be back to 24 again when he comes back and we'll have to build him back up."
ORLANDO, Fla. — Dennis Johnson is accused of grabbing his wife's throat and holding a knife to her face.
Former Celtics' star accused of wife abuse
Orange County Judge Stan Strickland set a $5,000 bond for Johnson. The judge said Johnson could return home to collect his clothes and personal items.
The player's lawyer, Robert Leventhal, said yesterday that his client would post bond. No formal charges have been filed and no arraignment was set.
and the former Boston Celtics star was ordered yesterday to leave his house and stay away from his wife.
fight. Johnson had threatened to beat his son, who ran to a neighbor's home for help.
Johnson, 43, who played on three NBA championship teams during his 14-year career, was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated assault and domestic violence. His wife was not injured.
Police said Johnson's 17-year-old son tried to stop the
"You are to have no contact with the victim until this is all sorted out," the judge said.
Police said that during an argument at their home outside Orlando, Johnson grabbed Donna Johnson, his wife of 21 years, and held a knife in front of her face.
The 6-foot-4 guard had played with Seattle, Phoenix and Boston. The last seven years of his basketball career were played with the Celtics during the 1980s. He retired after the 1989-90 season, and returned as an assistant coach in 1994. He lost his job this year when the Celtics fired their entire coaching staff after a dismal season.
Surgery sidelines player for Colorado Avalanche
DENVER — Colorado Avalanche defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh is expected to miss 2-8 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee yesterday.
Ozolinsh, who led NHL defensemen with 23 goals last season, injured the knee Friday in Colorado's 6-5 over.
three losses against Calgary. He did not play Sunday against Edmonton.
Ozolinsh has one goal and three assists in six games this season.
17-year-old Chinese runner shatters record
Dong Yanmei, a new Ma protege,
was timed in 14 minutes, 31.27
seconds, shattering the previous record
of 14:36.45 set by Fernanda Ribeiro of
Portugal in 1995.
SHANGHAI, China — A 17-year-old Chinese runner trained by controversial coach Ma Junren smashed the women's world record in the 5,000 meters by more than five seconds yesterday at China's National Games.
Two of Dong's teammates also surpassed the old record — Jiang Bo finishing second in 14:31.30 and Liu Shixiang third in 14:32.33.
On Sunday, Dong almost broke the world record for the 10,000 meters held by China's Wang Junxia. On Saturday, Jiang nearly set the women's 1,500-meter record held by China's Qu Yunxia.
Wang and Qu were among the first members of "Ma's Army" of women runners who had record-breaking performances during the early 1990s.
Their success again fueled allegations of drug abuse in Chinese sports.
