HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 1).
A secret passion could become public this year. Your vision could be hazy in February. You should have the problem solved by March and should be ready to move by April. Reality rears its ugly head in May, but the impossible comes within reach again by August. A startling revelation is to your advantage in December, and the happy ending comes around next January.
Aries: Today is a 6.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
The general is coming to inspect the troops! She's not in the mood to be hassled, contradicted or messed with in any way. Even if you're totally respectful, you could be in big trouble if there's a smirk on your face. Look sharp, and you'll pass the test.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Your career is important to you now. You're thinking of new things to do — ways to stretch your talents and your mind. You might even feel like taking a class. If you do, choose one you can use to improve your earnings. That way, it may be tax deductible.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You'd probably love to travel if you could afford to go. Well, maybe you could. If you can keep your mate from spending all your money on something else, maybe the two of you could take a vacation together. Better talk about it and set priori ties.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You may want to let a partner take the lead. An older woman would be the best one to make your next decision for you. Well, your input's important, too, of course. It's her wisdom that really gives you the advantage, however
Leo: Today is a 6.
You're a hard worker, especially now. You can't do everything all by yourself, however. If you can, you haven't taken on enough of a challenge. If you have to rely on a strong partner, you're in the right place at the right time. So, do it.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
Libra: Today is a 6.
You are one of the lucky ones. You're sure as a button, too. Oh, sure, you have a lot to do, but that's OK. You have a talent for organization, remember? Fit in a special date for tomorrow early — or late night. Or, both.
Focus on home and family this week, especially today and tomorrow. Clean up your environment. Toss the stuff that doesn't work for you any more and put in something that does. You're the one with the talent in this area, so put it to good use.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Saqittarius: Today is a 6.
You should be able to learn pretty easily now. The best thing to do when this condition is in effect is to get yourself close to a wise older person. Watch what he or she does and do the same. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and it’s how you learn best.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
This should be a good week for wheeling and dealing. You're exceptionally sharp right now, in fact. Knowing that, what sort of challenge do you want to take on? You're creative, persistent and assertive. The sky's the limit!
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You can accomplish just about anything you can imagine. Words mean things, as you undoubtedly know. Well, ideas mean things, too. When you put those ideas into words and explain them to people, miracles can happen. Go for it, again.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You may be in the mood to go back to school. You'd also like to make more money. These two concepts are linked, but not directly. It's more like you have to work at one thing in order to pay for your training in another. Hmmm. Worth a try!
You've got a few little worries, but you can plow past them. Get your friends to help you with those, and you could stumble onto a wonderful experience. You could suddenly realize you don't have a thing to worry about.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — After becoming the most prolific female scorer in Southwest Missouri State history this weekend, Jackie Stiles pointed the finger at everyone else.
Modest junior guard breaks scoring record
"It would not have been possible if not for my teammates, my coaches, the support of this community, Melody Howard herself for improving my game, my family and friends," the 5-foot-8 junior guard from Claffin said. "Everyone should be a part of this record."
Before a standing-room only crowd of 9,131 Saturday at Hammons Student Center, Stiles broke Howard's record on a 3-pointer late in the first half of the Lady Bears' 84-48 win over Bradley.
"I had no idea how many points I had, but I guess I could tell from the reaction of the crowd that that must have been it," she said.
Stiles, who has led the nation in scoring for the past four weeks, ended the game Saturday with 30 points, giving her a total of 1,953 career points at Southwest Missouri. Howard set her record of 1,944 from 1990-94.
"She's one in a million," season ticket holder Dick Covey said following the game. "She's the most amazing athlete, male or female, to step foot on this campus."
Southwest Missouri, 16-3 overall, won its 13th straight game against Bradley and raised its league mark to 9-0.
DALLAS — Oklahoma State senior guard Jennifer Crow was named Monday as the Big 12 Conference women's basketball player of the week by a media panel.
Cowgirl named Big 12 player of the week
Crow averaged 22.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists with one block and four steals in Oklahoma State's two games last week. She scored a career-
high 34 points in a 7/52 win against Colorado, including 11 during a 21-0 run that put the Cowgirls ahead. She also had 10 rebounds and eight assists.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Crow is just five rebounds from becoming the third player in school history to record 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists and 150 steals in a career. She
will be the first player to
post 1,500 points, 500
rebounds, 250 assists
and 150 steals.

ATLANTA — Police charged Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis with murder late yesterday in the slayings of two people outside an Atlanta nightclub hours after the Super Bowl ended.
Saunders was named the Big 12's rookie of the week. She averaged 17 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 2.5 steals in the Aggies' two games last week.
Lewis, middle linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, was charged after a day of investigation into the slaying at the Cobalt lounge in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood about 4 a.m. Monday.

Witnesses said six men had fought and argued with the two victims. The men fled in a black Lincoln Navigator stretch limousine, firing at least five gunshots as they drove away.

scene, Atlanta police spokesman John Quigley said.
Local broadcast outlets said earlier that Lewis had been questioned as a possible witness but was not a suspect
On Jan. 4, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rae Carruth was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Cherica Adams, who was pregnant with their son. Carruth was released by the Panthers after the charges were lodged.
One man died at the scene and the other victim died at Grady Memorial Hospital. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office identified the victims as Jacinta Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24, both of Atlanta.
The 24-year-old Lewis, from Lakeland, Fla., became the second NFL player this month charged with murder.
Despite the report of shots, Atlanta police Lt. M.C. Smith said the preliminary investigation indicated both victims were stabbed to death.
Just last Friday, in his state of the NFL address, commissioner Paul Tagliabue commented on the recent rash of criminal charges against current NFL players.
"Can we separate ourselves from society? Of course not," Tagliabue said. "We can't predict what NFL players will do any more than we can predict students shooting other students or students shooting fellow workers."
Wizards get coach; Walker replaces Heard
BASKETBALL
WASHINGTON — Darrell Walker is the new coach of the Washington Wizards after a confusing weekend in which a deal for Michael Jordan's first choice as coach fell apart, team sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.
Walker, an NBA veteran who played four seasons in Washington from 1987-91, is a former coach of the Toronto Captors.
Walker takes charge of a team that hasn't won consecutive games in more than a month and has not won a playoff game in 12 years.
Rodman wants to party, puts Mavericks on hold
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks probably would have a better chance of getting an answer out of Dennis Rodman if they were inviting him to a party Tuesday night rather than asking him to play in a game
As of yesterday afternoon, the Mavericks still were waiting to hear whether Rodman was ready to return to the NBA or if he planned to continue celebrating being Dennis Rodman.
Neither Rodman's agent, Steve Chasman, nor his publicist immediately returned phone calls to The Associated Press.
The king of self-promotion put his hometown team on hold last week so he could join his friends, members of the band the Red Hot Chill Peppers, at Super Bowl parties in Atlanta.
While there, Rodman said he was considering delaying his return a few more weeks so he could go to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii this weekend and even the NBA All-Star game the following weekend.
"I've got to get all of my partying out of the way," Rodman said. Mark Cuban, the Mavs' soon-to-owner, laughed off the quotes and said he still hoped to have a decision by Monday. Dallas has home games against Philadelphia today and Charlotte on Thursday.
Dallas can only offer Rodman the prorated share of the $1 million salary-cap exception. He loses about $12,200 every game he misses.

Jersey retiring guidelines unrealistic
Continued from page 1A
The bottom line is some players may have been phenomenal players, but other phenomenal players may have had better years, excluding them from certain awards.
Several deserving players warrant an argument. LaFrentz, Jo White, Dave Robisch, Darnell Valentine, Pierce and Fred Pralle from the men's team, and Angela Aycock, Adrian Mitchell, Vickie Adkins and Tamecka Dixon from the women's team all should be considered — the women if nothing else because Woodard set the bar absurdly high
All are worthy, but LaFrentz and White stand out.
LaFrentz was two-time consensus All-American (the other three at Kansas were Lovellette, Chamberlain and Manning), freshman of the year, a two-time Big 12 player of the year and is second all time at Kansas in rebounding and scoring. LaFrentz is the guy that demonstrates why the department's rules should be thrown out. If a college basketball icon like LaFrentz doesn't meet some guidelines, then who does?
White graduated high school a semester early and, as a sophomore, was the driving force behind the 1966 Final Four team. He led the team in scoring for three years, and was a two-time All-American. But his greatest attribute was leadership, something that can't be measured. Ask any longtime Kansas basketball fan and they'll say White was fantastic. He belongs.
The others deserve acknowledgment too, but if the rules can be broken once, then they can be broken again.
After all, what's the point of retiring jerseys if all the great players — not just the guideline fulfillers
— aren't honored? It may be more subjective and may mean more jerseys hanging from the rafters, but it's not such a bad thing to honor those that were the best.

Cyclones ranked after beating Jayhawks
The players celebrated Saturday's 74-66 victory against Kansas by forming a circle and bouncing up
DES MOINES, Iowa — Taking Oklahoma to double overtime got Iowa State noticed. Beating Kansas finally got the Cyclones ranked.
Iowa State was 20th yesterday in The Associated Press poll, the school's first appearance in the Top 25 since it finished the 1996-97 season at No. 18.
and down. Coach Larry Eustachy greeted the ranking with a shrug.
While saying he was happy for his team and the fans, Eustachy said, "For me, it really doesn't mean anything. It's awfully premature. It's all about how you finish, and the games we have ahead of us are incredible. We'll be underdogs in a lot of them."
Still, clawing their way into the Top 25 is a noteworthy accomplishment for the undersized, short-handed Cyclones.
They were 15-15 a year ago and were picked to finish in the bottom half of the Big 12 this season. Yet here they are at 18-3 overall, unbeaten at home and tied for first place in the conference at 6-1.
Eustachy said he couldn't get caught up in his team's fast start in the league because there were too many tough road games ahead.
"It's a little misleading," Eustachy said. "We are first on paper, but actually Kansas is tied with us when you go with the plus or minus system."
