HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 5.
You're most likely attracting attention at work. Don't do anything fancy; just stick to the routine you've established. They don't have to know how many times you've done this thing before, so don't tell them.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Some of the things that you were stressing about yesterday have evaporated into thin air. Be assertive; you can push through the other barriers. They might turn out to be cotton candy.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
There's too much work to be done. You may think you have to be superhuman, but for what? Be smart instead and let somebody help. He or she won't do the job as well as you can, with practice, there's a chance it could happen some day.
You're in an efficient mood, so make a few changes for the better. You should be able to proceed with most of what you want. A person who outranks you may not understand your reasoning at first, but you can explain it again ... and again ... and again.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Your assignment is to become fabulously wealthy Plenty of money is out there, and more is created every minute. Timing is of the essence, so get ready. You'll have to move quickly to get to the front of the pack. When opportunity knocks, be ready with the winning act.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
You are amazing your friends, and maybe even yourself, with your ability to figure things out. You're listening more, and that's valuable. Love looks excellent, and that's why.
Libra: Today is a 5.
You may feel squashed today. Your enthusiasm has been stifled, your plans thwarted. Do't give up. You can even get the money you've been looking for. Just go along with the rules and regulations; that's all. It can be yours, but you'll have to play the game.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Sagittarius: Todav is a 5.
You're getting your team whipped into shape pretty easily. You might not have officially been designated the captain, but you are. Others look to you for direction, so make up their minds for them. No point in letting them worry any longer.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Snap to and get the job done. You can use the money. If there's something about this job you find distasteful, ignore that part — the distastefulness, that is, not the job. You're good at seeing the big picture, so concentrate on it.
You are in a good position. You have lots of friends, and they're right. You're a good friend to have. It's quite likely you will do what you said you would, and that's always inspirational. So few people follow through, that many believe it's impossible.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
How much money do you have? How much do you think you should have by now? No clue? Ask a person who knows. You have a friend who's been there and done that. He or she would love to coach you down the path from rags to riches. Stop pretending that you already know how and ask.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
Your mate or partner could come up with a good idea today. He or she could inspire you to do the same. Working together, a partner and a friend — plus you — could accomplish magnificent things.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Kansas senior forward Lester Earl has again been sidelined by knee problems.
Earl re-injures knee, may miss first game
But this injury is not as severe as those that required surgery this off season. Earl's left knee had a mild flare up of tendonitis, and he will miss practice this week.
During last Saturday's practice.
Earl limped off the court when he felt a winged in his knee during a half-speed, non-contact drill.
Earl: His knee injury is not as severe as last year's
The knee was examined yesterday and the flare-up was found. The knee is the same one that Earl had surgery on in December, but the injuries are not related.
According to a press release, the team hoped to have Earl back in practice by the end of the week but he was questionable for Saturday's exhibition game against the California All-Stars.
As for the progress of junior forward Luke Axtell, the release said he is coming along as scheduled. Axtell broke a bone in his non-shooting hand during the first week of practices. He was expected to miss two to three weeks of action and remains doubtful for Saturday's game.

HOCKEY
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Just when it seemed safe for Buffalo to think about another Stanley Cup run, a
Sabers' goaltender out with groin injury
bad season got worse.
Goaltender Dominik Hasek reaggravated a groin injury sustained last season and could be sidelined several weeks.
Hasek (1-4-1) had played poorly through much of the season but was starting to display the form that made him a two-time league MVP and five-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goalie.
Now, Hasek is more of a problem than a solution.
Hasek injured his groin during the team's 3-2 overtime win against the Florida Panthers on Friday and will be out indefinitely. The injury occurred on a go-ahead goal by Bret Hedican with 33 seconds left in regulation.
The 45-foot slap shot caromed in off the left post as the goaltender vainly thrust out a pad. He then slumped face-first to the ice and stayed down for several minutes.
Ankle injuries plague Nuggets in preseason
Billups is the second Denver starter to sprain an ankle during the preseason. Forward Antonio McDyce has played only sparingly because of a sprained right ankle
PRO BASKETBALL
DENVER — The Denver Nuggets likely will open the season without starting guard Chauncey Billups, who sprained his right ankle during a team scrimmage.

McDyess is expected to play against the Suns despite aggravating his ankle sprain Saturday. The Nuggets held McDyess out of most
practice Sunday. He is not expected to play in Denver's season-opener tonight against Phoenix.

Angels' executive sets sight on future
BASEBALL
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Former Montreal Expos executive Bill Stoneman knows he has a huge job ahead as the new general manager of the Anaheim Angels.
"I'm excited about the challenges that lie ahead," Stoneman said at a news conference yesterday, one day after his hiring was announced. "I've come from an organization that, while it had certain limitations, also
excelled in the development of individuals into quality major league players. "There is a lot of
talent within this organization. We will strive to put last season behind us and combine our focus and efforts on becoming a perennially contending club."
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be for entertainment purposes only.
Tony Tavares, the president of the Disney subsidiary that runs the Angels, described Stoneman as capable and talented.
Stoneman's first order of business will be to hire a manager
The Angels have been without a manager since Terry Collins resigned Sept. 3 and bench coach Joe Maddon stepped in on an interim basis.
CLEVELAND — Charlie Manuel was hired as manager of the Cleveland Indians yesterday after working as their hitting instructor the past six years.
Indians hitting coach named new manaauer
Manuel, who has never managed in the major leagues, replaces Mike Hargrove, fired after the Indians blew a 2-0 lead in the first round of the AL playoffs against the Boston Red Sox.
"The only way we're going to get national recognition, I know, is to win a World Series." Manuel said at a news conference as he was introduced as the Indians' 37th manager. "Believe me, I'm starting to work for October. I want it to go down to the end of October."
Manuel is popular with Indians' players and that clearly helped him get the job. It didn't hurt that the Indians scored more runs this season than any other team in the last half century.
GOLF
Hometown celebrates life of golfer, friend
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The golfing world already had said goodbye to Payne Stewart. Yesterday, friends and family bid farewell to the neighborhood playmate, fishing buddy and family man.
Nearly 2,000 friends and family members attended a two-hour memorial service at the Second Baptist Church in Springfield, the town where the golfing great was born and went to school.
Stewart was among six people killed Oct. 25 when his plane crashed in South Dakota.
Stewart's mother still lives in Springfield, where the city's public golf courses were closed for the day in his memory.
The pulpit at Second Baptist was surrounded with pictures of Stewart as a young man. His niece, Amy Thomas, played a cello solo, and Springfield policeman Gary Collins sang during the service. Gov. Mel Cannahan and several state politicians also attended.

In his father's footsteps
Continued from page 1B
He's become one of the defensive leaders as a sophomore, and coach Terry Allen smile at the thought of having him play for two more years.
"He's just going to get bigger and stronger as a linebacker," Allen said.
Recruiting LeClair out of high school, Allen could see what kind of talent he had. He could dunk a basketball by eighth grade, was a state triple jump champion and was the starting center on the state championship basketball team.
"Every kid that you recruit out of high school you think can be a great player, but we're very optimistic he can be a great player." Allen said.
If he can be as good as his father.
that would be good enough for Andrew LeClair. He's too young to remember most of his father's career — he actually fell asleep during the Super Bowl — but he does remember one of the icons of the '80s.
"About the only thing I do remember is seeing Herschel Walker when he played with the Generals. That was pretty cool," he said.

Walk-on's film 3 years in the making
out and Jerrod Haase came in."
The film features former Kansas players Raef LaFrentz, Jacque Vaughn, Scot Pollard, Rex Walters, Jerrod Haase, Danny Manning, Billy Thomas and C.B. McGrath. Current players were not allowed to be filmed because of NCAA rules.
Novosel actually participated in last week's basketball try-outs so he would have a better understanding when he films that part of the movie.
"We're getting some shots and doing prep work." Novosel said. "We're filming the try-outs so we can make it look like a real try-out when we film it."
Novosel said he will need many extras when he films the out-put part
of his film in November or December.
or his Him in November or December.
Novosel has gotten help with his film
thus far from two people, Tim McShane, Brookfield, Wis., senior,
and Lucas Krump, Kansan photographer
and Overland Park sophomore.
McShane got involved in the film when he answered an advertisement put out by Novosel last spring. He said he worked 200-250 hours on the film last summer.
"Scott made a joke how I was his intern this summer, and he could have me do whatever he wanted," McShane said. "I'm a coffee boy, work the camera, do sound, whatever we need done. Once this summer we were filming Raef running in the park, and I had to hold his sunglasses. They told me that was my job for the day, to hold his sunglasses."
Novosel said that Phog Allen's grandson, Rob, and his wife, Wanda, have helped him with the film financially.
Novosel also will travel to the Tokyo International Film Festival in early November to meet with distributors.
Pollard will be in Japan at the same time because his NBA team, the Sacramento Kings, will play two exhibition games against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"It's perfect timing for us," Novosel said. "Scott's in the film, and we can both meet with distributors."
Novosel that he hopes to finish the film around next summer.
