HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
Work and stability are your major themes this year. It looks as if you will be in a position to make a major decision, starting now. Go back to something that worked before to assure your future security. In January, the money you've been working for will start coming in. In August, you can have the opportunity you have been waiting for if you move quickly and decisively. In October, your friends will surprise you to take action. Make a bold move to achieve serenity.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7.
Ames (21 April 1974): today is a 7.
It looks as if what you wanted to do is going to cost too much money. You thought you had enough, but it somehow got used up. Don't worry. There's another source of income on the horizon. Discuss your plans with someone and come up with ideas about how to accomplish them.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
You're looking good today. You feel a little more confident, and that's important because you're facing some tough decisions. You're in the mood to take risks, which is unusual for you. Indications are that you'll be luckiest going backward instead of forward.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): today is a 5.
There's something you need to do that you should have done by now. You've resisted, maybe because you're not sure how to do it. In any case, it's definitely tedious, but it has to be handled before you get to do the fun things on your list. Just buckle down and do it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a B.
Your workload is intense, and you're not getting the support you need. Well, don't feel dismayed. Somebody you forget all about could come to your rescue. It's nice to have a person on your side who believes in you so completely. Go ahead and let the support in.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 6.
Be careful today. An older person is watching you like a hawk. If you're late back from break or if you spend too much time flirting by the water cooler, you'll be in trouble for sure. Don't push it. If you behave today, you'll have more time for fun later in the week.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22, 1974)
Travel looks good for you today, perhaps contact with someone who lives far away. It's an excellent time to invite friends to your house as well, and that might be where the contact comes in. This person might call and invite himself or herself over.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
It's difficult to be in a situation where you don't know everything, especially for an intellectual such as you, but right now, that's your predicature. The more you learn, the more you'll learn. Remember that the payoff for educating yourself will occur in the long run, not the short run
Script (Oct. 24 - Nov. 1, 2019)
You and your partner may disagree about how something should be done. Whoever comes up with the most cost-effective solution will carry the day. Money is a consideration for you both, and maybe that's why tempers are a little short.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a b. You're incredibly powerful this week. You can have just about anything you want. Your hard work is paying off. It's not only work; it's fun, and you're benefiting enormously from the effort. You're meeting good people and making an excellent impression on all of them.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 6.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
It would be nice if you didn't have to go to work, but unfuntenably, there's a deadline looming. Fortunately, the person you care most about it within easy range. If you can get together, even for a little while, your whole day will go easier. Just thinking about it will brighten everything else.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 6.
It looks as if you want to do nothing more than stay home today and cuddle. This is in direct opposition to what is planned. You might get away with saying you're sick and rescheduling the event for later. It's a long shot but something to consider.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
This is an excellent day for studying. You're concentrating better than usually, and that's important. You have an opportunity to advance to the next level, but you can't do it with what you know now. You have to improve your skills. Get started on the program today, and it'll be easier than you feared it would be.

Sources say Oklahoma will pick Stoops as coach
KFOR-TV said during its 4:30 p.m. broadcast, it had confirmed with several sources that Stoops, the defensive coordinator at Florida, has accepted the position at OU.
Stoops also was a candidate for the head coach job at Iowa, the same job that Kansas coach Terry Allen also is a candidate for.
Steops was among the names mentioned as possible candidates to succeed John Blake, who was fired Nov. 22. Athletics director Joe Castiglione has been tight-tied about the search, which he has been conducting on his own.
Oklahoma officials did not confirm or deny the reports. Catherine Bishop, a representative for the university, said, "We don't have any statements to make at this time."
When Blake was fired, it was widely believed a new coach would be in place by today, the start of recruiting. The leading candidate apparently was Stoops,
who interviewed with Castigliaone last week. Various media outlets have said Stoops reportedly was asked to return for a second interview this week.
Other coaches mentioned as possibilities to replace Blake are Gary Barnett of Northwestem, Jim Donnan of Georgia and Dennis Franchione of Texas Christian. Barnett and Franchione have said they have not been contacted by OU. Donnan has said he does not plan to leave Georgia.
Texas Rangers reach agreement with Clayton
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers have reached an agreement with free-agent shortstop Royce Clayton on a new contract.
Terms were not immediately disclosed, but the Rangers were to discuss the deal at a news conference.
The Rangers acquired Clayton in July from the St. Louis Cardinals, along with pitcher Todd Stottlemyre, for pitcher Darren Olive and third baseman Fernando Tatis. Clayton helped Texas win the AL West title.
With the Rangers, Clayton hit 285,
with five home runs and 24 RBI.
Duke football coach fired after five seasons
DURHAM, N.C. — Duke coach Fred Goldsmith, who led the Blue Devils to a bowl game in his first season but was 9-35 since, was fired yesterday with four years remaining on his contract.
Duke was 4-4 through eight games this season, but lost its final three games to Vanderbilt, Maryland and North Carolina, helping lead to Goldsmith's ouster.
"I am grateful for coach Goldsmith's efforts over the past five years, however it is time to move in a different direction," athletic director Joe Alleva said in a statement. "The overall direction of the football program and
the direction in which it was going
was not what I wanted to see."
Goldsmith had a 17-39 record in five seasons at Duke, including an O-11 season in 1996.
His 1994 team went 8-4 and played in the Hall of Fame Bowl.
"I'm disappointed I didn't have more success," Goldsmith said. "I felt we on the verge of achieving the level of success that I expected again in 1999.
"Next year was a target year for it all to fall into place," he said, "I wanted to be able to see that come to fruition, but I respect the decision made by the university."
Pro football executives reunited in Cleveland
CLEVELAND — The team of Dwight Clark and Carmen Policy was reunited in Cleveland yesterday.
Standing with Policy and expansion Cleveland Brown's owner Al Lerner before a backdrop of orange helmets, Clark was introduced as the Brown's vice president and director of football operations.
Clark is leaving the same job with the San Francisco 49ers to rejoin Policy, the Brown president who also filled the same role for San Francisco. Policy gave Clark his first front-office job after he retired from playing in 1987.
"Dwight Clark is among the finest executives in the NFL today," Policy said. "I had the pleasure of working with him during my time as president of the 49ers and enjoyed my role as a mentor and friend."
Clark will oversee all aspects of pro and college personnel selection, including contract negotiations and salary cap issues. The Browns can sign their first players starting Dec. 17.
"While I feel some sadness about ending an era of my life that lasted almost 20 years, I am unbelievably excited about the unique opportunity that awaits me and my family in Cleveland." Clark said.

Forbes names Cowboys most valuable franchise
NEW YORK — The Dallas Cowboys are vying this year for the right to say they are the best football team in the National Football League.
At least one publication thinks they are the most valuable — not just in the NFL but of the 113 teams that play in North America's four major professional sports leagues.
With a net worth of $413 million, the Cowboys top the list of most valuable sports franchises, according to estimates by Forbes magazine.
The NFL's Washington Redskins, worth $403 million, and Carolina Panthers, $365 million, are the second- and third-most valuable franchises, while Major League Baseball's New York Yankees are fourth at $362 million.
The Chicago Bulls are the most valuable National Basketball Association franchise at $303 million, followed by the New York Knicks, $296 million, and Los Angeles Lakers, $268 million. The New York Rangers, $195 million, take the honors in the National Hockey League.
The Baltimore Orioles are ranked second in baseball at $323 million, followed by the Cleveland Indians, $322 million, Colorado Rockies, $303 million, and Atlanta Braves, $299 million.
Estimates are based on 1997 revenue and expenses for MLB and NFL teams and 1997-98 revenue and expenses for NBA and NHL teams.
