HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 14).
Let go of a burden with the help of good friends, and continue your metamorphosis into the person you've always wanted to be. Resolve the past, but don't dwell on it in February. Love inspires compassionate action in April. Do dormant in May, and you'll blossom in June. In July, you can best serve yourself by serving others. Review your strategy in August. Study from September through October to prepare for an exam in November. By December, you may hardly recognize yourself. Celebrate by doing something you've long dreamed about in January.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Your team may need more money to achieve its objective. Break the piggy bank and add up your pennies. If you still don't have enough, don't give up. Just pray for another miracle, and open up your mind to let the right idea pop in.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Somebody who's been lording over you is in for a few surprises. You and your partner could gang up on this person and present an objection that's been overlooked. You're right, of course, so you can afford to be gracious.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Figure out what might go wrong, and have a backup plan ready. Don't cram too many things into too little time — that's just an accident waiting to happen.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
You and your sweetheart or child should get together to work on your budget. You'll find there not as much money as the other person thought, and that's the point you were trying to get across.
**leo** (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
Your project could come to a grinding halt, but don't worry about the reasons why. This mess isn't your fault, which is why you're in such a good mood. Help others stay optimistic, and they'll think of something.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5.
Be prepared to run into technical difficulties. Make copies of everything. A glitch would not only be annoying, but it could throw you off schedule.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 7.
A family conversation could turn ugly once money becomes the topic. The energy level is high because you and the other person care deeply. You're good at being objective if it's someone else's problem. This time, it will help if you can just say "no" — and mean it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
It's your duty to point out all the things wrong with a household plan. Or, this could be about real estate.
If you're in escrow, for example, you're finding out what the seller forgot to mention. Be thorough.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
There are a few surprises today, not all of them pleasant. Some of your assumptions could be challenged. Just because things have always been a certain way doesn't mean that's the way they are now. Be flexible.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 4.
Put off a tough financial decision a little while longer. Don't buy something you're not sure about. You might discover something much better tomorrow or the next day. Keep shopping.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Be willing and eager to fix errors, because somebody is apt to find one. Thank that person for pointing it out to you, and you'll avoid an embarrassing situation. Keep a promise you made to a dear friend.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.
Don't forget the car keys, the theater tickets, your wallet, your camera, the mail, or the list of things you need to buy. You need a checklist to remember your checklists. It would be bad to go somewhere only to realize you've forgiven something essential.

The Cardinals have now reached contract agreements with all players who had been eligible for arbitra

Morris, 26, was the Cardinals' top pick (12th overall) in the June 1995 draft. He was considered one of baseball's best young pitchers after going 12-9 with a 3.19 earned run average in his rookie season of 1997, and 7-5 with a 2.53 ERA in 1998.
But Morris missed all of 1999 after injuring his elbow in spring training of that season. He returned to the Cardinals on May 30, 2000, and pitched only in relief last season following surgery.

NEWPORT, R.I. — Ivan Lendi, who was ranked No. 1 in men's tennis for 157 consecutive weeks during the 1980s, has been elected to the tennis Hall of Fame along with Meryn Rose, an Australian star from the 1950s.
TENNIS
Lendl, who won eight Grand Slam titles and reached 19 Grand Slam singles finals, was born in Czechoslovakia and became an American citizen in 1992. He reached the U.S Open finals every year from 1982-89, winning three times.
Tennis Hall of Fame to induct Lendl, Rose
He was No. 1 in the world for 270 weeks, including the streak of 157 from 1985-87, just three weeks short of Jimmy Connors' record.
Rose was a member of Australia's 1951 and 1952 Davis Cup champions and won the Australian and French titles. He also won four doubles Grand Slams.
Lendl and Rose will be inducted into the Hall of Fame July 14 in Newport.
Australia was hit hardest, with an estimated 100,000 computers infected by the e-mail. However, other governments in Asia reported little or no impact.
SINGAPORE — With a day to prepare, companies in Asia were ready yesterday for the e-mail clogging Anna Kournikova virus that promised to deliver an electronic photo of the teen-age tennis star. The virus failed to infect as many computers as it did in Europe and the United States.
Kournikova virus hits Asia with less force
When the user clicks on the attachment, the virus is released, worming its way into address books and sending itself to everyone on the list, clogging e-mail servers.
The latest virus comes as an e-mail attachment named "AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs" and carries the message "Hi: Check This!".
The bug originated in the Netherlands, said a spokesman for the antivirus company Symantec Corp.
Yesterday, a person who goes by "OnTheFly" posted a claim of responsibility, saying the virus was released as a warning to Internet users who are lax about security.
"I never wanted to harm the people (who) opened the attachment," the person wrote. "But after all: it's their own fault they got infected."
Mikko Hypponen, manager of antivirus research at F-Secure Corp. in Espoo, Finland, believes the message is authentic, but said tying the online identity to a real-world person could be difficult. Furthermore, he said, the Netherlands did not appear to have any law outlawing virus crimes, which could make prosecution tough.

Parnevik looking for repeat of Bob Hope Classic title
The Associated Press
LA QUINTA, Calif. Jesper Parnevik knows a little something about comedy as well as golf. His dad is one of the most popular comedians in Sweden, and he's known to be a bit wacky himself.
There was nothing funny, though, about the way he won the Bob Hope Classic last year. This was more a nail bitter than a belly laugh, with Parnevik needing to rally with a final-hole birdie for his third PGA Tour victory.
The 97-year-old Hope was on hand to watch Parnevik finish a roller-coaster round and beat Rory Sabbatini by a shot. Hope plans to be back this year to see the 42nd classic unfold on four area golf courses.
The 90-hole event begins tomorrow in the rain-soaked desert, with four rounds of pairings of celebrities and other amateurs before the final round on Sunday at the
This year's event is missing some of golf's biggest names, with Tiger Woods, Davis Love III and Phil Mickelson among those taking the week off. But the 71-year-old Palmer will be on hand for a rare PGA Tour appearance, and everyone will be paying homage to Hope.

"Bob Hope was one of my father's favorite comedians," Parnevik said. "Even though I am too young, my dad always said he was one of the great spontaneous comedians that we've had."
Parnevik said he hoped to be around at the finish, though his wife's delivery of their fourth child could upset those plans.
"It could happen any day." Paravnev said.
rarnevik returns to the desert still trying to find his form after hip surgery to correct a problem that began bothering him after he won the Byron Nelson Classic last year.
He played the second half of last season, fighting a big hook caused by his inability to get through the ball.
"I could get it around, even hitting 40-yard hooks. I almost won one that way," Parnevik said. "But it was not fun and not the way I wanted to play, so that's why I decided to have the hip surgery."
Parnevik came from off the lead in the final round last year to win. His final-round 65 put him in position, but he wasn't able to light his usual victory cigar until Sabbatini failed to birdie the final hole. The 65 was Parnevik's 11th straight round under par to start the year, but this year has been much different. He has made the cut in only two of four tournaments, something he blames on not doing the little things needed to score.
"I feel strong. I can swing fully. I don't have any restrictions," Parnevik said.
