Later, you may want to get involved in a whole new project. Make room for it! Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6. You'd just as soon avoid attention, but that might be difficult. Everybody seems to need something only you can provide. They're involved in their own agendas, however. Practice serving, while being invisible.

Chris Wristen NHL Flyers fire head coach after team's passive play PHILADELPHIA — Craig Ramsay was fired yesterday as coach of the Philadelphia Flyers and replaced by assistant Bill Barber, who was given a mandate to make the team tougher. Ramsay, who stepped in for ailing Roger Neilson during last season and lead the Flyers to within a victory of the Stanley Cup finals, could not be reached immediately for comment. Entering last night's game against the New York Islanders, Philadelphia is in fourth place in the NHL's Atlantic Division with a 12-12.4 record despite a crash of injuries. "We've become an easy team to play against," general manager Bob Clarke said. "And we don't find that acceptable." Barber played his entire 12 year career with the Flyers, and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1990. So, he turned to a former teammate and linemate with the "Broad Street Bullies" of the 1970s. The Associated Press "I feel very comfortable if I look back on the way I went through the system," said Barber, who has a three-year contract. "The learning was very important."
