HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 22). The pressure is on this year, but it's your decision. Push hard to make a fantasy come true in February. Lighten up and get yourself a treat in March. Be solid in May, and earn more respect. Be frivolous in June and have more fun. Tend to others in July and to your own health, too. Easyly win the debate in August through verbal skills and planning. Upgrade your environment in September through a shrewd deal. Choose your words wisely in November and keep them to a minimum. In December, the secret will be out, and you can then speak freely.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
There is a tough assignment, but you have a great team just waiting for your orders. Better think about this carefully, but not for long. If you don't act soon they may get impatient and head out in the wrong direction.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
You want to run wild and free, but that's not what others expect. They may actually think you're going to simply do what you're told — working at a difficult job for not enough pay. If you threaten to do the former, you may see an increase in the latter.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
The lure of far distant isles has got you looking at travel videos and saving up your pennies. This could work. Give yourself a juicy enough goal, and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish. It might even be fun.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8.
Sometimes talking about money can be frustrating,
but it can also be inspiring and romantic. There's
nothing more romantic than a retirement account in
both your names that is getting fatter. Work on that
now.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Leb July 23-Aug. 22 — Today is a 6.
A person you admire for good sense may have a wildly impractical streak that is liable to come out right before your very eyes. Don't just assume some body you know and trust will make the right decision. Interfere just enough to be sure.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Your day is full of mechanical challenges. To make life easier, ask your sweetheart out to dinner. Not only will that give you a sense of celebration no matter how the day went, but it also means you don't have to cook or clean up.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
Lord (29 Oct. 22) — Today it's 7:17.
You could get way off schedule by talking to your sweetheart on the phone. You're fascinated by the intellectual type, but take care. It's not a good idea to get distracted if you should be doing something else.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
You're learning about something you want to do, but you're not learning fast enough. Your problem is you want to know everything right away. Don't fret. If you keep at it, you will. It's just a matter of time and persistence.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21] — Today is a 6. Are you working on a big assignment? Are you more interested in daydreaming about something you and your sweetheart want to do together? Oooops. There's time for that later. First, bring in the money to pay for it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Jot down whatever bursts into your brain. This could be the idea of the century. You could be rolling in dough in no time. You'll have to figure out how to build it, of course, and take out a patent. But hey, with talents like yours, that's the easy part.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
You'd like to do pure research but you have to pay the rent. Don't worry about it, just get back to work. You can do the research simultaneously. When you show the boss what you're up to, you might get a bonus.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Don't convince yourself that a story you're making up is true, especially if it's a sad story about yourself. It's not good for you to spend a lot of time in your head. Instead, ask friends for feedback. They'll give you the straight scoop.

Cattie told he asked Moss to calm down before he fouled out.
"He was claiming all day he was getting shoved and pushed around and the officials weren't calling it," he said. "He just got frustrated and lost his cool."
In the first 10 minutes, Moss was called for two fouls. Catlett said he warned Moss not to pick up his third foul, but he was called for a charge with 1:31 left in the half and given a technical for striking Macura.
Miami too hot for L.A. as Heat trounces Lakers
NBA
LOS ANGELES — Eddie Jones had 26 points and eight rebounds against his former team, and Anthony Mason scored 19 of his 23 points in the second half Sunday as the Miami Heat beat the Los Angeles Lakers 103-92.
The Lakers, playing without starting forward Horace Grant, sidelined due to back spasms, lost for just the
fourth time in 15 games despite 34 points and eight rebounds by Kobe Bryant and 31 points and eight rebounds by Shaquille O'Neal. Bryant fouled out with 1:04 to play.
Mason, who also had seven rebounds and six assists, scored five straight points to give Miami a 68-63 lead midway through the third quarter, and after the Lakers drew within one point, 3-pointers by Hardaway and Jones and a layup by Mason gave the Heat a 76-71 lead entering the fourth period.
Tim Hardaway had 22 points and eight assists and Brian Grant added 14 points for the Heat, who entered the game last in the NBA in rebounding but won the battle of the boards 44-39.
The Heat, who have won 12 of their last 16 games, scored 10 straight points for a 16-8 lead just four minutes into the game. Hardaway was 4-for-4 at that stage, including a pair of 3-point shots.
Two free throws by Grant and a 3-pointer by Dan Majleer — his first points of the game — gave Miami an 86-78 lead with six minutes remaining.
Another 3-pointer by Hardaway capped a 10-2 run and made it 30-19 before the Lakers finished the first quarter with five straight points and outscored the Heat 18-5 to start the second period for a 42-35 lead. Bryant (11) and Isaiah Rider (seven) scored all their team's points during the run.
The Lakers got within four points twice, but Grant responded each time with jumpers from just outside the foul line, the second making it 90-84. Mason then scored Miami's next six points to make it 96-86 with 1:44 to go.
However, the Heat outscored the Lakers 19-9 to finish the second quarter for a 54-51 halftime lead, and they were on top the rest of the way.

FLASHBACK
FLASHBACK — FIVE YEARS AGO
Battle in Boulder was a close one
BULLDER, Colo. — Five years of history nearly came crashing down on the Kansas men's basketball team on a Saturday afternoon in January 1996.
The Jawhawks, who hadn't lost to Colorado since Feb. 20, 1991, almost saw their 11-game winning streak against the Buffaloes snapped.
Colorado interim coach Ricardo Patton was coaching in his first game after the sudden retirement of Joe Harrington. He had his team sleep on the floor of the Coors Events Center the night before the game for inspiration.
“Coach decided that we should stay together all night, and it's a protecting our own-turf type of thing,” said Colorado point guard Chauney Billups in the Jan. 22, 1996 edition of the Kansan. Apparently, the Buffaloes took the ‘protecting their turf’ mantra to heart. A crowd of 11,988 watched.
as the No. 4 Jajahws (14-1) narrowly escaped with a 80-78 victory against the umed-jumped Ruffles.
60-78 victory against the upset-minded Buffalooes (5-10). The Jayhawks struggled to contain Colorado's Martice Moore, who exploded for 29 points off the bench and hit all four of his shots from beyond the arc. Billups and Kansas junior point guard Jacque Vaughn, playing for the first time against other, matched up well. Vaughn scored 15 points and dishout 10 assists, while Billups scored 15 points and collected nine assists.
The game was nip and tuck until the closing moments. A three-pointer from Kansas junior guard Jerod Haase and a three-point play from Kansas junior center Scot Pollard helped the Jahayhs take only their second lead
of the second half, 79-78. Pollard also hit another free throw that gave Kansas the two-point victor margin.
"They were playing great defense, getting in the lanes, fighting through screens," Pollard told the Kansan after the loss. "We weren't really moving the ball well."
The game marked several career achievements for the Jayhawks. Kansas coach Roy Williams coached in his 250th game and 100th game in the Big 8 Conference, and Vaughn collected his 500th career assist in the victory. The win also helped Kansas move up one spot in the Associated Press poll two days later.
