HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 7). First, hammer out an agreement and make solid plans. You'll need a partner's help to do this. It's hard to see eye to eye in May. An influx of ideas and money helps in June. In July, education is what you need. In August, rest and think things over. Compromise in September, and make lists in October. November is for commitments and challenges. For starters, face your own worst fears. They'll seem less scary by December and downright comical by February. In April, reward yourself for a job well done.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 4.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 4. A scheme you've carefully devised could have a major flaw. It won't work as planned, through no fault of your own. The time is just not right for action yet. Let it wait a day longer and see what develops. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
**durus** (April 20-May 20) — today is a 9.
Don't get into an argument with your partner or mate. The two of you need to join forces. You have a chance to broker a pretty good deal, but not on your own. United, your point of view will triumph. Otherwise, forget it.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
It may feel as if you're working too hard and not getting enough in return. That could be true, but don't make too big a deal of it. This is just part of growing up and getting the experience to move on
Cancer (June 22-July 23) — Today is an 8.
Leave your wallet in your pocket. You've got what you need: friends, family, love and respect. If there's something you can't afford yet, don't worry.
You'll eventually get that, too.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
There are lots of tasks on your lists, but there's still time to get organized. A little extra planning now will save time and money later. Get input from the people who will be affected by the actions you're about to take. They'll love you for it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
Libra [Sept. 23-Oct 22] — Today is a 6
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
You are good at getting organized, so do that first. Your business agenda is packed, and you're deluged with social invitations. Don't worry about running yourself ragged. Concentrate on having fun
LGB 2015-09-23
You're smart. You like to ask questions and read books. This could save you a lot of money and make you a lot of money — right now. Read the labels. Pay attention so that you don't pay a fortune.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
You feel strongly about a sensitive domestic issue.
So does everybody else. How about calling a family meeting? You might not get it resolved, but you'll find out who thinks what. This is not a waste of time. It's good to know.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
Do you feel as if you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Actually, you are. It's just your turn for a while, that's all. Don't try to wiggle out of this. It's good for you. You're getting stronger.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You want to provide the very best for your family. There's a way to do that without merely throwing money at the problem. Luckily, your family and friends will tell you how to do it. Just ask.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You're a good analyst. You believe in doing-
homework and getting all the facts, so don't be dis-
mayed if your forward motion appears to be
blocked. Catch up on your reading while you're
waiting.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You're learning and that's good. The problem is that some of the facts seem to contradict others. That's all part of the lesson. Dig deep to find out what is true and what is bogus.

"They'll both visit

College underclassmen have until June 20 to withdraw from the draft this year.
Bogans, a sophomore guard last season, led Kentucky in scoring, averaging 17 points. Prince, a forward, averaged 16.9 points as a junior.

He caught part of it, but his arm came down across Anderson's right shoulder. Anderson fell hard and later staggered off the court wincing in pain.
HORSE RACING
Monarchos nearly snaps record at Kentucky Derby
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Secretariat's Kentucky Derby record was challenged but not broken by Monarchos, and that pleases trainer John Ward.
Ward said that he would go to Pimlico — site of the Prekness on May 19 — on Monday or Tuesday and that he planned to send Monarchos there Wednesday.
"I hope it's never broken. I'm just glad we came close to it," Ward said after Monarchos won Saturday's Derby in 1:59 4-5, just two-fifths of a second off the track record set in 1973.
Monarchos is expected to have eight or nine rivals in the 1 3-16-mile Preakness, but the only Derby starters in the race are expected to be
the Bob Baffert-trained pair of Congaree, who finished third, and favored Point Given, who was fifth. There is an outside chance Songadaprayer, who was 13th, might try the Preakness.
SOCCER
Stadium roof collapses during soccer match
After the accident, fans clashed with police trying to make their way into Mottaqi Stadium in Sari, 155 miles northeast of Tehran.
TEHRAN, Iran — The roof of a stadium grandstand caved in, killing several fans and injuring hundreds during a soccer game Sunday, the official news agency reported.
State-run television showed images of fans wielding metal poles locked in battle with anti-riot forces on the soccer field. One wall of the stadium was torn down, and iron fences separating the grandstand from the field had been rooted out.
Some rioters started fires on the field, said Ali Ansarian, a player with Persepolis, one of the teams in the game.
It was not immediately clear what sparked the riots. Some 20,000 fans were in the stadium at the time of the collapse, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. It reported "hundreds" injured and "several" dead without giving exact numbers.
Ansarian said that he had seen at least 30 people dead.
Asghar Naghipour, a telephone operator at the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari, said that his small hospital so far had taken in 160 injured people.
he said survivors had reported that fans had climbed on a roof that was under construction at the stadium to get a better view. "The greatest casualties appear to be from where that happened," he said.

Fans flock to KC's new racing track
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — They seemed happier than New Year's Eve partygoers and more excited than a kid on the first day of summer.
Rural residents wearing overalls arrived in mud-splattered pickups. Urbanites came jumping out of late-model sports cars and half-walked, half-jogged toward the grandstands.
Kansas Speedway, the Midwest's newest venture into big-time racing, began with a bang Sunday on "Meet Your Seat Day."
Fans who had purchased the 75,000 sold-out, brightly colored seats in the huge facility west of Kansas City were finally getting a firsthand look, feel, sound and smell of what big-time racing is going to be like.
They loved it.
It's going to be a blast, just a blast," said Cindy Morgan of Topeka. "I can't wait. We only bought two seats. I wish we'd bought more."
Accompanying 18-month-old Marie Alexander was her 86-year-old grandfather, Clarence Ford.
"He is in heaven," said Marie's mother, Stacy Alexander of Kansas City, Mo. "Dad could hardly get to sleep last night he

was so excited."
"I practically had to drag him out of that car," said his wife, Lenora. "But I understand how he feels. If I wasn't such a chicken, I'd have been out there with him."
For many racing fans, the arrival of big-time motor sports in Kansas City is like being liberated from the area's other two major sports, the Chiefs of the National Football League and the Royals of Major League Baseball.
down on the track, fans who had paid $425 to experience the sport from the driver's point of view roared 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round, doing 10 laps apiece on the surface where such Winston Cup stars as Jeff Gordon and Rusty Wallace will drive.
"I'll go to a baseball game once in a while but I've never been to a Chiefs game," said Bob Downey of Kansas City. "But I'll be out here every time I can possibly get here. I didn't buy a seat, but that's not going to stop me. Just look around. Man, this is something."

"I was the first person to buy a seat," he said. "I used to do some drag racing and I really love the sport."
Arnote, accompanied by his wife, Karen, and grandson, Bryce, lives only a couple of miles from the track and figures to benefit in more ways than one.
"People here don't have no idea how much good this is going to do this town in terms of money it brings in," he said. "I bet it'll mean at least $100 million a year. I bought nine seats."
road truck driver from Kansas City, Kan., claims a distinction among Kansas Speedway ticket holders.
Making the two-hour drive from Bailey, Kan., to see their seats were Greg and Deb Koch.
"This is just about the one thing my wife and I still enjoy doing together," he said.
