HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday.
You can learn how to make your dreams come true this year. As one fantasy materializes, another takes its place. You're looking very good in February, Finances prosper in March. In April you learn quickly, both mentally and physically. A partnership helps you succeed in August, and a Lone Ranger comes to your rescue in October. Heed a friend's wisdom in December, and you'll advance to the next level.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is an 8.
You have an inner certainty that everything's going to turn out right. That's OK. Having faith in your intended outcome is much more important. Go ahead and visualize yourself already successful. Encourage your team to do the same thing. These little mind tricks can be quite effective.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
You know what needs to be done, and you've probably been hard at work doing it. That's just the way you are. But somebody who's a little short of temper could be getting impatient. Tell that person to cool it. You'll get the job done as fast as you can. Try to stay flexible
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 7.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is 5 d.
You're amazing today. You're agile and quick, an inspiration to others. You'd be the first choice for anybody's team. Continue to push hard on your career goals, but give yourself some time to party. You've worked hard this week, and you have plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Cancer (June 22- July 22); Today is a 5.
Looks like somebody's trying to browbeat you in some way, but it might just be the other person's brusque tone of voice. You don't like to be talked to with any sort of anger. The person who upsets you today is most likely just an angry individual at times, so don't take it personally.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is an 8.
Lebu July 23-Aug. 22). Today is **July**.
The moon's transit through Aries can get you a little agitated. It's going through your solar ninth house of travel, and it's going to come up right against Saturn, which is already there. Saturn represents history, so if you can go back to a familiar place this week, that would be perfect
Virao (Aug. 23.Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 7.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You is a 3.
You're a thirty person normally, but right now you just don't feel like it. You'd rather go out and buy all those fabulous things on sale. If you can convince yourself that you're actually saving by doing that, you might be able to work a deal.
Libra (sep. 23-03-Cet) Tuesday 12:54
Somebody you admire thinks you’re pretty cute. Truth is, you feel the same, although you’d never admit it. Anyway, this person may have an outrageous plan for you. You may not be too sure about that, but you do know when an offer is just too good to refuse.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
You're generally a calm, placid person, at least on the exterior. Deep down inside, you're more like a tiger, and that tiger could come to the surface today. Somebody you work with is irritating you so much you can hardly stand it. Keep your cool, and your superiority will be obvious.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8.
You're in the mood for love and taking a trip, not necessarily in that order. If the one you love has a practical streak, you'll get demerits for leaving work early, so don't even try it. Instead, make sure your check is in the bank before you pack your picnic basket and head for the hills.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan, 19): Today is a 5.
It looks like there's some sort of disruption today concerning family, family or real estate. Maybe a mess needs to be cleaned up at home. If it's real estate, it's a fixer-upper that you'd find. Whatever it is, it'll be worth the effort.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18); Today is an 8.
Today, you're on the path to a new discovery. Don't try to do it all by yourself. Just as you pass information along to one who needs it, so can someone else give information to you. The answer is not obvious. All you need to change is your perspective.
Pisces (Feb, 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
This looks like a good day to go for promotions. Someone in authority has new plans and wants to put them into action. If you can find a way to help, you'll be a valuable resource. You need to be creative, inventive and maybe even a little assertive. If the other person doesn't come to you with a plan, take one to him or her
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
AMES, Iowa — When you're down to eight players, any kind of injury is a concern.
iowa State's top scorer injured but set to play
That's why Iowa basketball coach Larry Eustachy was so worried when Marcus Fizer cut his

left hand in practice on Tuesday. Fizer, Iowa State's leading scorer needed five stitches to close the wound in the webbing between his third and fourth fingers. He suffered the cut on a backboard in practice but said the injury would not affect his play in tomorrow's home game with Texas Tech.
"I'll be ready Saturday," Fizer said. Iowa State was practicing at the Forker Building, where unlike Hilton Coliseum, the sides of the backboards are not added. Fizer cut his finger on a sharp edge while going for a rebound. Eustache said the injury looked
"When somebody gets hurt, I never attend to it because whenever I do, it's bad luck, something serious." Eustachy said. "He was really hurt. You could tell. I thought he might have a broken hand."
Eustachy said the injury looked worse than it was.
Raiders coordinator interviews with Chiefs
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Oakland defensive coordinator Willie Shaw is now among the candidates for the Kansas City Chiefs' vacant head coaching position, Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson said.
But Peterson, who interviewed Shaw on Wednesday in Mobile, Ala., said he was told by Jets defensive coordinator Bill Bellichick, who received permission this week to
speak with the Chiefs, that Belichick would remain in New York.
Another Chiefs candidate, Jacksonville offensive coordinator Chris Palmer, was close Wednesday to becoming head coach of the expansion Cleveland Browns.
Palmer met with Browns executives all day and through part of the night Wednesday, his second interview for the job.
This was Shaw's first season at Oakland, where the Raiders ranked third in the AFC last season in total defense. He previously was defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams and secondary coach in New Orleans, San Diego, Minnesota and Detroit.
Peterson said Belichck told him he would not interview with the Chiefs or Chicago Bears, who also received permission from the Jets to speak with Belichck.
"He said he has a very good situation with the Jets," Peterson said. "Most people know that if and when Bill Parcells decides to step away from coaching the Jets, Bill Belichick will be their coach."
Peterson also resumed interviews with
three internal candidates: defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye and receivers coach A Saunders. Both Raye and Cunningham have interviewed for the Chicago Bears' vacancy as well.
Peterson met with former Carolina coach Dom Capers last week in Californiam.
Soccer administrators want more World Cups
NEW YORK — The new head of the U.S. Soccer Federation is backing the proposal by FIFA president Sepp Blatter to play the World Cup every two years instead of every four.
Robert Contiguglia, who succeeded Alan Rothenberg last august as the USSF president, said that the desire
to stage the World Cup in the United States again in 2010 or 2014 was a major factor.
"In this country, having another World Cup will provide a big boost," Contigliaa said Thursday after his speech to the Sports Summit, an
annual gathering of sports marketing and advertising executives.
South Africa, England and Germany are the top contenders to stage the tournament in 2006. If South Africa wins the bidding, Europe is expected to be the favorite to stage the tournament in 2010. Japan and South Korea are co-hosts for 2002.
Earlier this month, Blatter proposed switching to a biennial schedule, starting perilaps with a 24-team tournament in 2004, when FIFA celebrates its centennial as soccer's governing body.
European soccer officials are opposed to the idea because it would conflict with the European Championship, currently played in the second year following a World Cup. In addition, clubs are fearful they would lose players to national teams for additional periods.
"You would be able to get it back in the United States a lot sooner," Contigulia said.
Major League Soccer, which plays from March until October, also would have a conflict with additional World Cup dates.
"It would be bad for us in the United States to participate in something like that because of the MLS and its season," Contigliia said. "If it did happen, the MLS would adapt."
In the end, Contiglia said the benefits to the higher profile of soccer in the United States in World Cup years would overshadow the difficulties it
would cause MLS teams.
"I think it would help us," he said.
North Carolina man mistaken for Jordan
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Lee Kealon's Jordanesque looks have fooled basketball fans, a friend's sick son and even a local television station that mistakenly used a photograph of him in a newscast.
Amid the Space Jam bedspread. Jordan figurines and Jordan posters that plaster his bedroom walls, the 7-year-old has a picture of Jordan going up for a dunk in casual shorts and a T-shirt. He is convinced it's his father, and proudly shows it off to friends.
But the hardest person to convince that Kealon is not basketball superstar Michael Jordan is Kealon's own son, Jordan.
"I tell him it's not me," said Kealon,
33. "But he swears it is. He won't
believe me."
But when it comes to being like Mike, few can score on Kealon.
The bald, 6-foot-6-inch Wilmington resident turns heads on city streets, draws autograph-seekers on the golf course and, when spotted in his BMW, has to speed away from duped fans.
The similarities between the two Wilmington natives don't stop at their hometown. They were both born in Brooklyn, N.Y., before moving here as toddlers.
But discerning basketball fans can easily tell they're not looking at the real deal when they see Kealon up close. He has lighter skin, a narrower nose and fuller cheeks than Jordan.
They're the same height, have the same prodigious hands, wear size 14 shoes. They even honed their basketball skills on the same courts at Empie Park.
