HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday [Oct. 2]
You are ready for the weekend after a long week. Keep your head high because something you have wanted for a long time will begin to happen this weekend.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Today you are Rock Steady in your own pursuits, but you may be on shaky ground with others. Acknowledging someone else's humanity and aspirations can only stabilize your day. Excitement surrounds the launch of a new project.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
If our bodies are The Soul Cages, at least we can decorate them during our tenancy. Consider shopping for clothes today, doing something with your hair, or enriching your mind. Commune with other souls who share a restless desire for self-improvement.
Today you feel as if Love Is Stronger Than Justice, as if the fabric of the world is mere background for the intensity of your relationship. You are an animal very much alive in your body. Sensation is more important than thought.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
Before coming out swinging in an emotional battle of wills, remember How Fragile We Are. Others are entitled to their ideas, no matter how wrong they may seem. Imagine your opponent as a child. Proceed with compassion.
Leo: Today is a 9.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
When looking ahead, plan for All Four Seasons instead of just the current one. Minor setbacks may result from unaddressed flaws in the overall scheme. Seriously consider someone else's advice today
Libra: Today is an 8.
Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot today, and you will be delighted by where it takes you. First impulses get the job done, and first impressions create a lasting picture. You could do it alone, but others line up for a chance in the co-pilot's seat.
Scorpio: Todav is a 6.
If you feel that History Will Teach Us Nothing, perhaps you should refrain from making mistakes todd that will doom you to repeat it. A state of confusion proves oddly instructive. Being a team player save your day.
Saaittarius: Todav is an 8.
After putting All This Time into a project, you are clearly the best
person to unveil the results. Your hard work receives the support
of friends and associates. There is justice in the world today.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
If you build a Fortress Around Your Heart, you may never fully experience the trust and openness of love. Shutting it all out to work undisturbed may cause drowning in your own toxins. Open an window to let the air circulate.
Aquarius: Today is an 8.
This is a day of Heavy Cloud No Rain, the skies above your world pregnant with potential. Everyone is a potential ally today, and anything could happen. Opportunities for romance could rain on the single Aquarian.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
Do not waste your energy chasing Shadows in the Rain. You remind yourself too much of a character in some strange novel or film. There is no point in going public with an internal crisis.
CLEVELAND — The Denver Nuggets sent forward Antonio McDyess to Phoenix yesterday in a three-way trade that also sent guards Wesley Person and Tony Dumas from the Suns to Cleveland.
Nuggets trade McDyess for lottery pick, players
The Nuggets, fearful they could not sign the 6-foot-10 McDyess after the season, will receive at least three first-round and two second-round picks for him.
Cleveland, which obtained AllStar forward Shawn Kemp in a recent trade with Seattle, sends a first-round pick in a draft no earlier than in 2000 to Denver and

If the draft pick is not used by 2001, it will go to
Phoenix, and Denver would receive the Suns' first-round pick in 2001. The Cavs would not have to give away a lottery pick.
In addition, the Nuggets get two first-round picks from Phoenix.
McDyess, an inside player who was the second pick in the 1995 NBA draft, had been a frequent subject of trade talks. He averaged 18.3 points and 7.3 rebounds a game last season.
OKLAHOMA CITY - The Big 12 Conference announced yesterday that the league's baseball tournament would stay in Oklahoma City for at least two more years.
Big 12 baseball tourney to remain in Oklahoma
"The athletics directors were extremely pleased with the quality of bids we received from Austin, San Antonio and of course Oklahoma City," said Tom Stanton of Baylor, chairman of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors. "We are looking forward to continuing and expanding the event in Oklahoma City, which has demonstrated its ability to host outstanding collegiate events over

events over the years."
Oklahoma City held the inaugural Big 12 tournament
A ballpark being built in downtown Oklahoma City will hold the tournament beginning next year. The stadium is scheduled to open in April, with permanent seating for 13,223 and the capability to reach a capacity of 16,000.
in May, after serving as the site of the Big Eight tournament since 1976.
MIAMI — For champion race driver Emerson Fittipaldi, the race is finished.
The 1998 tournament is from May 14-17.
Fittipaldi said yesterday that the recent plane crash in which he suffered a spinal cord injury has caused him to rethink his life and give up racing and other extreme sports.
Fittipaldi quits racing after plane accident
This was the Brazilian driver's second brush with near paralysis.
"It was not a message, it was an order," Fittipaldi said. "I have to stop extreme sports. It's over."
"Physically, yes, I could do it," he said. "But mentally, I wouldn't be ready."
The two-time Indianapolis 500 winner broke his neck in an Indy Car race in Michigan last year, requiring even more sensitive spinal surgery.
Wearing a brace on his torso, Fittipaldi returned to work today in his downtown Miami office. He is continuing with his physical therapy.
"I have to think about everything that happened and play golf," said Fittipaldi, chuckling in his downtown Miami office.
The commitments Tuesday came from 6-foot-4 210-pound guard Rodney Fields (Nebraska), 6-foot-8 215-pound forward Brodney Kennard (Texas Tech) and 6-foot-7 245-pound forward John Gilmore (Oklahoma State). They made known their intentions at a news conference at Wagstaff Gymnasium.
Junior-college players commit to Big 12 schools
TYLER, Texas — Three basketball players from Tyler Junior College have made verbal commitments to attend Big 12 schools.
They'll sign letters of intent on Nov. 12, the first day of the early signing period, Tyler coach Kyle Keller said.
Olympics, but it almost certainly won't happen before 2004.
LONDON — The International Olympic Committee is negotiating with major golf organizations about having the sport in the
IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch met with leaders of various golf bodies in Sotogrande, Spain, last weekend during the Ryder Cup.
Golf, other sports aim for spots in Olympics
IOC sports director Gilbert Felli said the talks involved representatives of the World Amateur Golf Council, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the European Golf Association, the U.S. Golf Association, the PGA of America, the U.S. PGA Tour and the PGA European Tour.
Golf has to compete with dozens of other sports seeking to join the Olympic program. Ballroom dancing, surfing and rugby were the most recent sports to get full recognition from the IOC — one step toward gaining a possible place in the Olympics.
Golf was included in the Olympics in 1900 in Paris and 1904 in St. Louis. Organizers of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics wanted to offer golf but had to drop the idea following controversy about the proposed venue at Augusta National, the site of the Masters.
