HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 17).
Your team is red-hot this year, and as cool as ice. The combination is unbeatable! Get the best to be on your side in April. Draw up the rules in May. Practice in June, then recuperate in July. If you don't have much time for romance in August, ask your sweetheart to be understanding. Make the time for romance in October and December, and make your outings special. February is for a group activity, and for winning against all odds. You'll have more private time in March.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an A.
The problems you and your group are most likely to encounter are financial. Your ideas are fabulous, but who's going to pay for them? Sidestep that dilemma by staying within your budget.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Face it. You're outnumbered. You're likely overworked, too, and it isn't fair. On the other hand, somebody important is becoming more and more dependent on you. The money should be pretty good. If not, ask for more. You've earned it.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
You're on a roll, but don't go too fast. The law of gravity is still in effect, you know. Don't get so excit ed that you accidentally race right off the edge. Enjoy the fantasy, but don't set yourself up for a rude awakening.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
Focus on service. Provide the very best for the one who needs it most. Expect to get more out of this experience than you're putting into it, even though you should put 100 percent into it. This will work — eventually
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8.
It may once again be difficult to contain your enthusiasm. For the most part, everything is wonderful. You don't have to be inhibited all the time — just at certain times. You know when.
Virao (Aua, 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 4.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 9.
**ug. Aug. 23-Sept. 22** — Today is a 4.
There's more of the same to deal with today. You should have the routine down by now, so there's nothing to worry about. You could finish this job with one hand tired behind your back, but use both hands or people will wonder.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 4.
You're still in danger of being stretched too thin.
Do what you can to prevent that happening. That means you might have to say "no," or "later." You can do this. You could grow to love those words.
September 20, 2017 Tuesday is 8:49
You are the lucky one! The conditions are right to enhance your natural talents, and that goes beyond your good looks. You also have excellent peace-keeping skills. Use them if one of your colleagues gets a little too rambunctious.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8.
Keep pushing the limits, but don't get flustered if something you try doesn't work. It won't — at least not on the first try. But that's part of the adventure.
Remember your safety net.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5.
Your to-do list of household chores is becoming more of a priority. Something needs fixing or mending, and it can't wait much longer. Creativity is required in order to keep costs down. You can come up with an innovative idea. All you have to do is get the family to go along with it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Aquarius (jan. 20-feb. 18) — today is an 8.
You're not just a student; you’re also a teacher.
But don't get tricked into thinking you know everything.
Stay humble. You’re getting most of the answers right, but a silly little detail could trip you up tonight.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 4.
Pictures (feb. 19-28) 20 is a 4.
The person issuing the order could make a mistake, so try not to make the same mistake yourself.
It's perfectly OK to follow orders, but don't be a robot. Watch where you're going.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Nebraska quarterback almost ready to play
LINCOLN, Neb. — More than three months after his right shoulder was repaired, Nebraska quarterback Eric
Crouch is almost ready to throw again.
"My shoulder right now feels like it's ready to throw, but I've got to listen to the doctors' orders and wait a
The doctors are telling Crouch to wait until the end of the month before he tries throwing again, and Crouch is
listening to them. He had surgery to clean out the same shoulder last winter after his sophomore season and admits he rushed his comeback by starting to throw at the end of March.
Crouch spent Nebraska's spring practice season lifting weights — with his lower body — and watching backup Jammal Lord run the Huskers' No. 1 offense. Lord, who will be a sophomore in the fall, has made good progress but the starting job is still Crouch's.
Elway's father dies in California at 69
DENVER — Jack Elway, the father of John Elway and an innovative college coach in the 1970s and '80s, died at his home on Sunday in Palm Springs, Calif., of an apparent heart attack. He was 69.
John Elway, the retired Denver Broncos' quarterback, flew to Palm Springs on Sunday to help his family make funeral arrangements. He considered his father his best friend.
starting to throw at the end of water.
Crouch's surgery this year was more extensive, repairing a cartilage tear that hampered his throwing last fall as the Huskers went 10-2.

"What a classy, loving person. He was as fine a coach as there was, and more important, as fine a man as there was," said Colorado State football coach Sonny Lubick, who was an assistant under Elway at Stanford.
NFL
Besides his son, Elway is survived by his wife, Jan; daughters Lee Ann and Jana; and eight grandchildren.
A memorial service will take place in Palm Springs on Tuesday, April 24, the Broncos announced. Funeral arrangements were pending.
Known for his creative, multidimensional offenses, Elway was inducted into the Cal State-Northridge Athletic Hall of Fame in 1997. He was inducted into San Jose State's Ring of Honor in 1998, joining a group that included Dick Vermeil, Bill Walsh and Steve DeBerg.
At the college level, he was head coach at Cal State-Northridge (1976-78), San Jose State (1979-83) and Stanford (1984-88).
A native of Hoquiam, Wash., Jack Elway played quarterback at Washington State, where he earned both bachelor's and master's degrees. During the 1960s, he was a high school coach in Washington and Montana.
NBA
TUALATIN, Ore. — The Trail Blazers suspended All-Star forward Rasheed Wallace yesterday for one game for throwing a towel into the face of teammate Arydas Sabonis during an argument in a loss to the Lakers a day earlier.
Trail Blazers' Wallace suspended by coach
Coach Mike Dunleave said Wallace would be suspended for tonight's regular-season finale against San Antonio for "conduct detrimental to the success of the team."
During the third quarter of the 105-100 loss to the Lakers, Sabonis was shoved out of the way by Shaquille O'Neal, who was going for a rebound. Sabonis, trying to draw a foul, failed his arms, and his left hand smacked Wallace in the face.
Wallace, who had his left eye blackened by Sabonis' elbow during another inadvertent hit at Golden State on April 6, doubled over. He yelled at Sabonis as the teams went to their benches for a time-out. Still furious, Wallace threw a small, white towel into Sabonis' face, then walked away. The 7-foot-3 Lithuanian center sat red-faced, as teammates Will Perdue and Scottie Pippen stared after Wallace in disbelief.
Dunleave said there was some miscommunication on the part of both players, but that it didn't excuse Wallace's action.
fair, as far as being warranted." Dunleavev said.
"The reaction wasn't, I don't think.
It was the second time this season Dunleavey has suspended Wallace and the second time this month Wallace has been suspended by his team for surly on-court behavior. He also was suspended two games by the NBA in early February for throwing a towel at referee Gary Benson, who had ejected him.
Catherine Ndereba made sure the Kenyans weren't shut out, however, winning the women's race for the second-consecutive year.
South Korean wins 105th Boston Marathon
RUNNING
Lee raised his fist to salute the crowd as he came down Boyston Street after finishing in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 43 seconds. Silvio Guerra of Ecuador was second, 24 seconds behind, and Kenya's Joshua Chelang'a came in third, 46 seconds behind the winner.
BOSTON — Lee Bongju, of South Korea, won the 105th Boston Marathon yesterday, snapping a 10-year victory streak for Kenya.
Italy's Gelindo Bordin, in 1990,
was the last non-Kenyan to win the
men's race. The last Korean to win
was Kee Yong-ham in 1950.
"I knew I was running alone against many Kenyans, but the marathon is competing by yourself," Bongju said. "I focused on competing by myself and not paying attention to the others." In the women's race, Ndeeba's repeat deprived Ethiopian Fatuma Roba of an unprecedented fourth Boston women's title. Roba, who won from 1997-99, finished fifth.

Roster adjustment daunts Chiefs
Vermeil remains without a QB running back
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Getting ready for the draft will be doubly tough on Kansas City this year.
At the same time they are putting hundreds of young players under a microscope, examining each one's individual strengths and flaws, the coaches are also striving to learn their current players. How will they fit into a new system?
Plus, and perhaps just as significantly, the coaches are still getting acquainted with one another.
"Any time you change staffs and offense and defense you're going to have problems," said Chiefs President Carl Peterson.
There is one thing that's well known by everybody in the National Football League — quarterback is the Chiefs' No.1 priority. The unexpected free agent defense
Dick Vermeil, who replaced Gunther Cunningham as coach, intends to open up the offense and switch defenses. So the players on the roster during last year's 7-9 campaign are in some ways as big a mystery as the college players who'll be available when the draft starts at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The unexpected free agent defec
CHIEFS
Going into draft week, Todd Collins, who was No. 3 last year behind Grbac and now-retired Warren Moon, is all they have.
tion of Elvis Grbac and the Chiefs' inability to find a replacement either through free agency or trade has left Kansas City as the only team in the NFL without a starting quarterback.
But figuring Virginia Tech's Michael Vick will be gone before the Chiefs pick No. 12 in the first round, will there be a quarterback good enough to merit such a high choice?
"I don't believe there is a 12th pick consideration out there," said Lynn Stiles, Chiefs vice president of football operations. "There may be some others down the line, whether it will be in the latter part of the first round or the first part of the second."
Waiting in the wings could be the much-discussed trade with the St. Louis Rams for veteran Trent Green, a favorite of Vermille when he was coaching the Rams.
But St. Louis, which already has the Chiefs' second-round pick as compensation for hiring Vermell, has been insisting on Kansas City's first- and third-round picks.
"We really haven't talked to them
in three-to-four weeks," said Vermil. "We both realize it will probably come down to the final few minutes of when we're picking."
Whether the two teams work out a deal will probably depend on the Rams' evaluation of the players left after the first 11 picks.
"If there's a player on the 12th pick that they really covet, we'll probably hear from them." Peterson said. "We may hear from them before or not. They're doing the same thing we're doing."
Another need, although the Chiefs insist it's not nearly as glaring as many believe, is running back. In this category, a quality prospect is almost certain to be around for the 12th pick.
But current running back/fullback Tony Richardson may be one of those holdovers who will flourish in the new system.
"It's more of a wide-open attack," Stiles said. "The defensive ends are going to have to line up a little wider. There's going to be more spread formations, a lot of shifting and formation changes.
"Tony Richardson averaged 4.7 yards per carry. He ranked third in the National Football League per touch, which includes his receiving capabilities. Our first priority is to analyze some very interesting backs we have right here on campus," he said.
