HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 8). Frustrations with work lead to action this year. The results may be better than you thought possible. First, clean out your closets in November. A disappointment in December leads to a lucky break by January. Your home life is unusual, but leave it as is in February. An ideal you get at home applies on the job by April, and by May you could be dusting off old skills. Rely on a partner's help, too, and by June you should be lookin' good. Take time for yourself in July. Tackle a domestic challenge with friends in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8.
A meeting with friends or associates could uncover a problem. This may take a day or two to sort out. Don't be dismayed at this delay. Plan an outing with a loved one for tonight. Go a little farther than usual to get a change from your routine.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Your mate wants more of your time and attention.
Have you been spending too much of it at work
lately? You may feel in under pressure, but keeping a
小 balance in your life is important.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
Travel isn't a good idea although you might eventually get through. Why bother? Even a phone call might take two or three tries. But your fingers getting tired from punching radial is better than you being stuck for hours in traffic.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a b. You're looking good, but that's not enough. Be careful with your money. Somebody you love wants something you can't afford. You make a good impression on an older person with your recent work. Don't spend this raise before you get it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
You'll probably emerge triumphant, but you haven't, yet. Everybody seems to know how you should run your life. List politely, and then do what you've already decided. Extra time being thoughtful will help you get them on your side.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
A technical breakdown at work makes life miserable. If you're using delicate instruments or a computer, have a backup plan. To reward yourself for a tough day, go shopping later. Something you've been looking for is on sale.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6.
Somebody you love wants something badly.
However, giving your loved ones everything they want isn't possible. The lesson this time is about deferring gratification and developing creativity.
You could almost make this fun. Go for it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
**Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a B.**
You may have to just say no. Somebody at home isn't pleased, but you're too busy to argue. Pull rank if necessary. This will not damage the other person beyond repair. In fact, it'll be good for him or her.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
Don't believe everything you hear. Errors and lies can even come from authority figures. Talk over what you've discovered with a person who's on your side. This problem may take a while to correct Just never quit.
Aaarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
A lot of "worthy causes" have great uses for your money. Hold off on that. Right now you can't afford to fund a lot of bureaucrats. Make a budget and include your favorite charities. You'll save time and spend more wisely.
**Aquarius part. 20-14b. 18.)** — telling you what to do.
Your older person's intent on telling you what to do.
You're just as intent on resisting. Your idea may not be realistic. Or, maybe you lack information.
Instead of quarrelling, do more research. Start with the question the other person raised.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
Don't bother to travel; it's too much trouble. The forecast is for technical difficulties. Take your vehicle in for an oil change. You'll find out everything else it needs. That might be expensive, but good preventive maintenance.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Applewhite sprains knee, won't play this weekend
AUSTIN — Once again, Chris Simms is the starting quarterback for Texas. This time, it's not because it's his turn in the rotation
major Applewhite, who assumed the starting duties when the No. 19 Longhorns scrapped their system of rotating quarterbacks four games ago, sprained his right knee in a 29-17 win at Texas Tech and will not play Saturday at Kansas.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Coach Mack Brown said the injury did not require surgery but could be bad enough to keep Applewhite also out of the regular season finale Friday, Nov. 24 against No. 23 Texas &M.
He returned from surgery in time for the regular season but spent the first five games splitting time with Simms, a sophomore who was the nation's top high school recruit two years ago. Simms started three of Texas' first four games.
Texas' career passing leader as a junior, Applewhite tore a ligament in his left knee in a 27-6 loss to Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl back in January.
The Longhorns offense struggled with the rotation and Brown opened.

Oct, 7. Since then, the No. 19 Longhorns (7-2, 5-1 Big 12) have won four straight.
Applewhite has thrown for 2,164 yards and 18 touchdowns with seven interceptions this season. Simms has passed for 441 yards with three touchdowns.
Applewhite sprained the knee when he fell on the artificial turf of Tech's Jones Stadium in the third quarter. Simms came in with Texas leading 19-17 and completed his only two passes for 18 yards.
PONTIAC, Mich. — Bobby Ross, mentally and physically drained after 3 1/2 years, resigned as coach of the Detroit Lions and was replaced by assistant Gary Moeller. Moeller was fired as Michigan's coach in 1995 days after his arrest during a disturbance at a Detroit-area restaurant.
Ross, 63, compiled a 27-30 regular-season record with Detroit and an 0-2 mark from playoff appearances in 1997 and last season. The Lions are 5-4 this year.
Ross led the San Diego Chargers to the 1995 Super Bowl, five years after taking Georgia Tech to the national championship.
NFL
ST. LOUIS — Already minus injured quarterback Kurt Warner, the St. Louis Rams now will be without star running back Marshall Faulk for at least two more games. Faulk, who leads the NFL with 1,326 yards rushing and receiving, will be sidelined 2-4 weeks after having arthroscopic surgery to remove cartilage from his sore right knee.
Rams' Faulk remains injured with sore knee
The Rams also released kicker Pete Stoyanovich, a day after he missed two field-goal attempts in a loss to Carolina. Rams coach Mike Martz said the NFC West leaders would sign Jef Hall, who was with the team in training camp.
Moeller signed a three-year contract with the Lions.

"He did really well with the procedure," Dr. Rick Kerensky, attending cardiologist at the hospital, told the Globe on Monday night. "He was awake and alert within an hour of the procedure. He was in good spirits. There has been some improvement since Friday."
Patrick Roy to be tried for argument with wife
NHL
LITTLETON, Colo. — Patrick Roy's wife, holding hands with her husband entering court, called it "ridiculous" that the star goalie would be tried for their heated argument about in-laws.
The Colorado Avalanche goaltender pleaded not guilty yesterday to misdemeanor criminal mischief. He and his wife, Michele, strongly disagree with a judge's decision to allow the
case to proceed to a jury trial, scheduled for March 5.
"All I want is to see our family have our lives back to normal," Patrick Roy said following the five-minute hearing before Judge Richard Jauch.
"This is ridiculous," said Michele Roy, who was not harmed during the argument last month at their suburban Denver house. "I cannot believe this case is going forward."
She and her husband kissed before leaving the courthouse in

if convicted, Roy
faces up to one year
in jail and a $1,000
fine. A conviction also
could be grounds for

The 35-year-old goalie was arrested on a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge that occurred during an act of domestic violence. He admitted pulling two doors off their hinges. According to a police report, Michele Roy feared what her husband would do as they argued about in-laws.

Senior captain finishes golf career
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's golf program has changed during the past few seasons, but senior captain Ashely Bishop has always been a talented player and leader.
Bishop, one of only two seniors on a nine-member team and the only golfer who has been with the Jayhawks for four years, has competed in every tournament the Jayhawks have played in since fall 1997.
"Ashely is the only player that has been here for a long amount of time," said women's golf coach Nicole Hollingsworth. "She works extremely hard at her golf game."
three of the Jayhawks' five fall tournamen ts, trying for 30th out of 233 at t h e Unlimited Potential
Bishop was the top finisher in
Classic in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and tying for 28th of 233 at the Big 12 Preview in Waco, Texas.
Bishop, who has played golf competitively since she was 10 years old, said she enjoys the annual tournament that is played in her backyard. Bishop's parents own the "Legends of Indiana" golf course, where she shot a 231 total and placed 45th out of 231 on Oct. 9-10 in Franklin, Ind.
Many of the other players on the Kansas team look to Bishop for guidance, support and team leadership.
"When she goes to a tournament and shoots a good score, it makes us want to do the same," said Kristy Straub, a redshirt sophomore.
While Bishop said she embraces her leadership role, she recalls important lessons she learned as a freshman .
"I feel like I had to adjust and become mentally tougher for the competitive college game," Bishop said.
Bishop said the experience of competing in collegiate golf for three and a half years had helped her.
"I learned a lot about composition and how to act on the course," she said. "Some of the younger players see that and try to follow."
While Bishop said she didn't plan to compete at a professional level, she said she thought her golf experience would be an asset to her professional career.
"I feel like I had to adjust and become mentally tougher for the competitive college games."
Bishop, a business communications major, has made the Big 12 Conference AllAcademic Squad and Jayhawk Scholars every semester she has been at the University.
While she may impress business clients with her golf game in the near future, Bishop has set her immediate goals on the spring semester.
"One of our goals for this season is to have a stronger finish at the final tournament," she said.
