HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Sept. 17)
You might have the middle of the week blues today. Start preparing now for the weekend and call up some friends to go out tonight to brighten your day.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Todav is a 7.
When the moon is in Aries' house, you are in your element - fire. Expect to be in complete control of your fate. Go forth and start something. This is a day that could burn brightly in your memory.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. You are feeling the lure of style and trend. Spend money on sensible things today or pay sensible prices for items that are not strictly necessary. Too much caffeine or alcohol might impair your judgment at a crucial moment.
Gemini (May 21-June 20). Today is a 7.
This is a day for making yourself understood. Driven by the Aries moon, you might be able to broadcast or e-mail your message to the entire world today. Having something important to say would certainly help your cause.
Cancer (June 23-July22). Today is a 5.
Bob Dylan reflected on how it may be ""a sin to think and feel too much within." Your emotions may override your rational behavior at a bad moment today. Consider your reputation before speaking.
Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22), Tpday is an 8.
Today finds you leading the charge, but your likely destination is crashing someone's party. You are a welcome guest, even when uninvited. Your generosity inspires others to share with you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
This is a day to look out for No. 1. Details may have a viral quality, infectious if not contained. Try not to work with others today unless it is necessary or unavoidable.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Libra (sep. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
This is a day for tate-a-tete meetings with intense results. Business or romantic relationships could be for ever changed by what happens today. You may find yourself faced with a choice of "I" or "we."
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Lock your ego in the closet to ensure that your day runs smoothly. Serving a common cause is favored over acts of self-interest. Be prepared to finish whatever you start today.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8. The world is your playground today. Whatever you accomplish will be filled with the joy of doing. You work well alone or as half of a delightful partnership. Play as much as possible.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
With the moon in Aries, you may be tempted to ignore
the pressures of life and satisfy yourself. A shortsighted
decision will make things even more difficult later on.
Honor your commitments for tomorrow if not for today.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb 18). Today is a 9.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Quality time spent with friends connects you with a world immeasurably richer than your everyday life. Everyone is a goddess or god today. Everything you touch turns to magic. Memories of this will sustain you through hard times.
If you take aggressive action today, it may confuse others rather than accomplish anything meaningful. Politeness and charm are your most effective tools. Use your intuition to read the sub text of a conversation.
ST. LOUISE—Mark McGwire, who last week joined Babe Ruth as the only players with consecutive 50-home run seasons, signed a three-year, $28-million deal with the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday.
McGwire gets $28 million in Cardinals contract
The Cardinals acquired McGwire, 33, from Oakland on July 31 just before the trading deadline.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
McGwire has
51 home runs and began yesterday one behind Ken Griffey Jr. for the major-league lead. He has hit 17 of his homers with St. Louis.
McGwire said he accepted less money to stay with the Cardinals in part because of the response and adulation he's received in St. Louis.
Thousands of fans show up two hours early for games to enjoy McGwire's long-range shots in batting practice.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Before joining the Cardinals, McGwire was said to prefer the West Coast because his 9-year-old son lives in southern California with his mother. Matthew McGwire gave the Cardinals a thumbs-up after a recent visit and had two words for his dad when the deal was announced; "All right!"
"I don't think it was too hard to fall in love with the city of St. Louis," McGwire said.
Part of McGwire's deal includes establishment of a charitable foundation to benefit sexually and physically abused children. He is donating $1 million a year.
NEW YORK — Think big, Texas, because the Longhorns just endured the biggest defeat by any team ever ranked in The Associated Press college football poll.
Texas' 66-3 loss against UCLA on Saturday in Austin, Texas, was the largest losing margin since the AP poll began in 1936. The Longhorns (1-1) were No. 11 entering the game.
Texas sets records in defeat by UCLA
The previous mark was set on Nov. 17, 1945, when No. 6 Penn State lost to No. 1 Armv 61-0.
In addition, the 66 points allowed by Texas were the third most given

Since the AP went to a Top 25 format in 1989, Texas became the highest-ranked team to tumble out of the poll in one week. The last No. 11 team to lose and drop out the next week was Texas A&M, after a 27-0 loss to No. 17 LSU on Sept. 3, 1988.
On Sept. 26, 1987, No. 10 Arkansas dropped out after losing to No. 5 Miami 51-7.
There is more.
The highest ranked team to fall out of the Top 20 in one week's time was No. 2 Oklahoma, after a 45-13 loss against No. 10 Northwestern on Sept. 26, 1959.

NEW YORK — Nikki McCray, who led the Columbus Quest to the first American Basketball League championship last season and was the league's MVP, jumped to the rival WNBA yesterday.

"We expect to recommend expanding by two teams next year," she said. "At this point, nothing is official, but it is likely Nikki will be assigned to an expansion team.
WNBA president Val Ackerman said the league was focused on expansion for the 1998 season.
"We're interested in attracting the best players from wherever they come — the college game, international leagues or other leagues. We're working hard to make sure we have the best players and the best game," Ackerman said.
Albert, NBC's most prominent sportscaster, is charged with forcing a woman, with whom he had a 10-year sexual relationship, to perform oral sex on him in an Arlington hotel Feb. 12.
Sportscaster pushes to have case dropped
Sodomy, either forcible or consensual, is a crime in Virginia. Albert is charged with forcible sodomy and assault and battery and could face up to life in prison if convicted at a trial which will begin Monday in Arlington Circuit Court.
Prosecutors have not spelled out what Albert is accused of doing, but they have said that he severely bit a 42-year-old Vienna, Va., woman on the back and forced her to have oral sex.
ARLINGTON, Va. — Marv Albert wants his case thrown out because the indictment does not specifically allege that he sexually penetrated his accuser, court documents released yesterday said.
A source close to the case told The Associated Press shortly after Albert's arrest in May that the woman said Albert became angry when she refused his request for three-way sex involving another man.
Black said the indictment should have had specific language regarding sexual penetration if prosecutors plan to argue at trial that it occurred.
