HOROSCOPES
Aries
You need to express your inner feelings. By week's end your energy level should increase, and you'll start to feel like your old self again. Be yourself and draw energy from your personal convictions. Your social and professional style will open many new doors.
Taurus
Look past the present, and you'll be able to visualize your future prospects. Get ready for some serious sit-down negotiations. It's vital that you know what you want before the discussions begin. It may be challenging to do this, but you need to prepare yourself. A new friend's calming presence reminds you of life's greatest values.
Gemini
Try to be reasonable, even if the subject matter is intense. Push gently, prod delicately and make direct contact with those who've been avoiding you. It may take some time to build trust. When your vision and fire are tempered with compassion, your sensitivity is quite incredible. A delicate approach may help you focus your desires successfully.
Cancer
You may tend to associate more with artistic, innovative and eccentric friends. Your creative imagination will be energized, as a result. Place your trust in one with similar interests and goals. If something puzzles you, ask questions. An older, wiser head may be able to give counsel. Bask in wisdom's warming glow
Leo
Tonight, you are supercoool. Share your ideas. Your intuitive insights and healing energies can be used positively to help others as well as yourself. Open yourself to the karmic energy of the universe. Let it flow through your body and share it with others. Spend time outdoors and connect with the beauty of nature.
Virao
Are you ready to back up your words with action? If not, think twice before you unleash that devastating smile of yours. You could charm the birds out of the trees today. Once you take the first steps to understand your feelings, you'll be able to express yourself. You have the ability to listen, which can help others to see things clearer.
Your sense of justice causes you to stand up and fight for the underdog. Listen to what colleagues have to say, and treat decision making as a more cooperative process. You'll need all your charm and grace to turn this one around. You know what's needed; you have a plan, and everyone does his or her part.
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Libra
It's possible that you'll feel as if you're being attacked by someone on your own team. If you face this person directly, you may find that the truth isn't quite as bad as you thought. A kindly authority figure can help calm the situation and show you a reasonable way through the conflict.
Capricorn
If you're willing to accept the possibility of change, the new events might prove to be good. Sit back, measure and plan your next move. Remember, if you're right, you can stay calm and still make your point.
Aquarius
Caution is needed in signing important papers and contracts. So much can be gained when your goals are clear in your mind. Choose any subject you like. Your caring tone and loving nature will make a difference in someone else's life. Keep your eye out for the person in the corner who may not be laughing.
Pisces
No matter how gentle you feel, sometimes you can frighten others. They just don't feel comfortable with the depths of feeling that you call home. You can initiate someone into the power of their creativity with the power of your conviction. Bigger doors may open to you during the next few weeks.
You'll meet interesting people that will help you to broaden your horizons. Your personal magnetism and sex appeal will certainly give you an edge. There are sensitive people around you who are easily wounded by your force. You don't mean any harm, but sensitive souls sometimes can't handle your power.

Minor penalties for Wichita State basketball
Wichita State disciplined its basketball program and publicly reprimanded coach Randy Smithson in July for violating an NCAA practice
The university said that during one week in November and two weeks between Thanksgiving and the end of the fall semester, coaches exceeded NCAA limitations on practice time by four to six hours a week.
The university also said it would not extend Smithson's contract, and neither Smithson nor his assistants would receive salary increases for the 1999-2000 season. Smithson has three years left in his contract.
The practice violations were discovered during an investigation that began after Maurice Evans walked out of practice and complained about how the coaches treated players. Evans later transferred to Texas.

DENVER — John Elway has teamed up with a pair of businessmen in a bid to buy the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche and their future arena, The Denver Post reported today.
Coaches are allowed to hold practices for up to 20 hours a week.
The former Denver Broncos quarterback has joined an effort already launched by businessmen Lars Erik Borgen and George Gillette to buy the basketball and hockey teams and the Pepsi Center from Ascent Entertainment Group Inc., the newspaper reported, citing an unknown source.
Colo-based Booth Creek Ski Holdings Inc. and is a former owner of the Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts. Sturm is a millionaire real estate investor and owns the Bank of Cherry Creek.
Two other bidders also have reportedly submitted formal bids to Ascert's board of directors. The Post said one of them is Denver businessman Donald Sturm, and the other an out-of-state party that was not named.
Elway joins group in play for Denver sports teams
Ascent, a publicly held corporation based in Denver, agreed in March to sell the Nuggets, the Avalanche and the Pepsi Center to Bill Laurie and Wal-Mart heirs Nancy Walton Laurie for $400 million.
LAKE FOREST, III. — The Chicago Bears today waived quarterback Erik Kramer, who became the Bears' all-time leading passer in his five years with the team.
Borgen is a Denver mutual fund entrepreneur. Gillette owns Vail,
However, that deal was sidelined after Ascent shareholders filed lawsuits asserting that the price was below market value and that former chairman Charlie Lyons sacrificed the interests of shareholders in negotiating a sweetheart deal for himself.
Kramer, 34, had last season cut short by knee and shoulder surgeries. He isn't fully recovered from rotator cuff surgery, which has limited his throwing in the off season.

"It's a football decision," said Bears spokesman Bryan Harlan. He declined to elaborate further.
Kramer originally was signed as a free agent in 1994 from Detroit. He threw for 10,582 yards in 1,557 attempts with 63 touchdowns and 45 interceptions in his five seasons in Chicago.
The Bears now have four quarterbacks, including Jim Miller, Moses Moreno, Shane Matthews and unsigned first-round draft pick Cade McNown.
