HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 8).
This is a great year for expansion and commitments. You can have the life you love. A person who has been a child for many years gives excellent advice in December. Listen to it, and by February you'll have a good plan established. Include in that plan some quiet time in March. You want to be rested for activities coming around April or May. Postpone your travel plans until August.
Aries (March 21-Aaril 19): Todav is a 9.
Sometimes you feel invisible, like you can do whatever you feel like and nobody will notice. That won't be the case today. Depending on what you do, you'll reap either applause or boos. Just remember to keep love in your heart and most of your clothes on, and you'll probably get away.
Taurus (Auril 20-Mav 20): Todav is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
You could get something you've wanted for your house without spending much. It's a payback from a friend who owes you. You'll come up with lots of examples to fit your situation. Considering how generous you've been this year, maybe you could get your whole house painted!
Gemini (May 21-June 21); Today is a 7.
Gemini (May 21- June 21): Today is a 7.
Conditions are bringing you more responsibility, authority and confidence. You're learning how to do something you've always admired. Try this skill out. Be confident, but respectful. Looks like your partner has some valuable advice. Don't think you already know it all.
Cancer [June 22-July 22]: Today is a 5.
This is an excellent day to take on another job, or upgrade the one you have. You've been attracting a lot of positive attention, and you also could be attracting a lot of money. Make sure any agreement you make today is one you can be proud of. You can ask for top dollar.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 9.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
You're profound, energetic, charismatic — everything you've always wished you could be. You're getting a glimpse of your future. Get a really clear picture of the person you want to be five years from now. That's the blueprint you're going to work from.
Virgo (Aug. 25 - Sep. 22) *Today is a D*.
Virgo is one of the best signs in the zodiac at taking care of other people. That's why you stress sometimes. You want to be absolutely perfect with every person on your list, and it's overwhelming. Don't forget to take one other person into consideration; yourself. The rest will fall into place.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
You and your group are inspiring everyone around you. They all want to join your clique. The more the merrier. It doesn't make any difference how many people are on the team, as long as you're getting the job done, and it looks like you've got a really interesting job to handle.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 9.
**Scarpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):** Today is a 5.
A powerful person in your life could make you wealthier. This person has certain needs, many of which you can fill without much effort. Once you get the routine figured out, you could supply whatever is required.
That makes you indispensable.
You're lucky in love today. Knowing that, will you call somebody you admire and ask for a date? That could be a person you've lived with for years. An interesting thing about love is that it's always changing. It's new if you say it is. It's fresh if you refresh it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
Insider information could lead to a fabulous deal. Looks like the best opportunity has to do with a domestic item, or possibly something you would be buying for a family member. If that gives you any ideas, start with a phone call. Begin the conversation by offering a gift of your own.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 6. If you toss the ball or the idea or even the prospect of a sale to somebody else in your group, that person can close the deal faster than you can. Looks like there will be several people involved in moking this day a success. Each provides something needed.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
Another good day for promotions and increases in responsibility. If you see a job you could do that isn't already being done, offer a suggestion. Don't be shy. The other person may have been waiting for you to say something. Be part of the solution. That's enough to put you into the leadership category.
ST. LOUIS — The ball Mark McGwire hit for his 69th home run has been sold to an anonymous sports collector, but there is still hope for those wanting to own a piece of the slugger's historic 1998 season.
McGwire homer No.69 sold at N.Y. auction
Four other McGwire home run balls will be sold on Jan. 12 by Guernsey's, a New York auction house, Sammy Sosa's home run balls Nos. 64 and 66 — his final of the season — also will be auctioned.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Michael D. Barnes, managing director of Creative Properties Management Group, which represents the sellers of the baseballs, said details of the auction would be released today.
Barnes would not disclose the sale price for McGwire's ball No. 69. But he said offers for the McGwire and Sosa homers "have ranged from the low six figures to mid seven figures."

The St. Louis Cardinals first baseman ended the season with 70 home runs.
Arrangements were being made to authenticate the baseballs that remain for sale, Barnes said.
Tom Osborne named among best coaches
OMAHA, Neb. — The way Barry Switzer sees it, Tom Osborne is right up there with the greatest coaches ever in college football: Bud Wilkinson, Bear byrant, Frank Leahy, Knute Rocke.
"Tom casts his shadow as far as those guys and not because he was taller than them," Switzerland said yesterday. "He was just huge."
Osborne, the former Nebraska coach, will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on tonight in New York along with 12 ex-players. The group includes Auburn
In 16 years as Oklahoma's coach, Switzer won three national titles. His showdowns with Osborne made the series between the Sooners and the Cornhuskers one of the game's premier rivalries of the 1970s and 1980s.
running back Bo Jackson (1982-85); the 1985 Heisman Trrophy winner; Brigham Young quarterback Jim McMahon (1977-81); and Pittsburgh tackle Bill Frali (1981-84).
Switzer said he always enjoyed seeing Osbome on the opposite sideline, and that is why he will be in New York tonight, back on the college football scene for the first time in 10 years.
"I wouldn't miss it," Switzer said. "My gosh, Tom's in there with Leahy, Rockne, all those guys. He's all about college football."
The Hall of Fame waived a three-year waiting period to admit Osborne after he retired in January. The period also was waved when former Grambling coach Eddie Robinson was elected last year.
Osborne's teams went 255-49-3 in 25 seasons. In his last four years, he led the Cornhuskers to two national titles and three unbeaten seasons. Nebraska also shared last year's title with Michigan.
Without coaching, Osborne has been left to fill a void.
"When I go to the games, I'm off in a corner of the press box, and it's hard to sit and watch and not have anything to do," Osborne told the Lincoln Journal Star. "I guess that will get easier as time goes on. It's just hard to have no ability to have input."
NORMAN, Okla. — Former NFL tight end Jonathan Hayes has joined the staff of Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops, the university announced yesterday.
Ex-Chief tight end joins Sooner coaching staff
Kansas City Chiefs and three with the Pittsburgh Steelers. For the past two years, he has worked in radio and television in Kansas City, Mo.
"I'm sure there are people out there that will say, 'Hey, he's never coached,' but let me assure you, going through what he has in the NFL has made him more than ready for this opportunity." Stoops said.
Hayes played nine seasons with the
Hayes played in more than 170 games, catching 153 passes for 1.718 yards and 1.4 touchdowns.
Hayes joins Bobby Jack Wright and Cale Gundy, who were named assistant coaches last week.
Skip Holtz might join dad in South Carolina
"My wife and I are going out tonight, and we're going to talk about it," Skip Holtz told The (Columbia) State from his Connecticut home Sunday. "We hope to make a decision in the next day."
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Lou Holtz has asked his son, Skip, to leave his head coaching job at Connecticut and become South Carolina's offensive coordinator.
South Carolina athletics spokesman Kerry Tharp did not immediately return a telephone message yesterday seeking comment on whether the school had heard from Skip Holtz.
Holtz guided Connecticut to a school-record 10-wins this season before losing in the Division I-AA playoffs Saturday at top-ranked Georgia Southern.
He served as offensive coordinator for his father at Notre Dame in 1992 and 1993 before taking the Huskies head coaching job and has been mentioned as a possible successor for his father, 61, who accepted the South Carolina job on Friday.
"There are no formal or informal guarantees for him," South Carolina athletics director Mike McGee said.
"it's always helpful to have potential succession in a staff."
Steelers fans bruised after fence tumbles
PITTSBURGH — A 6-foot section of a fence of steel mesh and concrete blocks along an end zone walkway gave way午在 Sunday's Pittsburgh Steelers' game and tumbled to field level, but several fans reported only bumps and bruises.
The accident at Three Rivers Stadium marked the second time in as many days a fence had collapsed at a football game in Pennsylvania.
In Philadelphia on Saturday, a ralling collapsed and injured nine spectators at Veterans Stadium during the Army-Navy game.
"It sounded like an explosion," said Charlie Wingerd, a Pittsburgh resident who was standing near the Three Rivers fence. "I was just watching the game, and I heard something, and I turned around and saw something hit me."
Security staffers guarded the area until a half-hour after the game ended to prevent anyone from falling.
A section of the fence brushed Wingerd's lower right leg as it fell, but he did not require medical attention.
Another part of the fence grazed a fan sitting in some portable bleachers on the field level. The fan had taken part in a halftime field-goal kicking contest.
The steel-mesh fence is located in the north end zone and guards a concrete walkway near the stadium's main concourse. The fence is covered by movable grandstands during Pirates' games but is visible during Steelers games and traditionally has been used as a standing room area.
Two years ago, some bricks fell from the same concourse onto the field during a Monday night game, but nobody was hurt.
