HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 1).
Update old skills and acquire some new ones. The more you learn, the more confident you'll become. Worries lead to action in November. You have enough money to make a big change in December. Experience is your best teacher in January. Dreams may seem to fall apart in February. In late May and June, the outcome's not as expected; it's better. Destiny calls you in July, and new skills lead to great new friends around September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Hold your cards close to your chest. Somebody would love to know your strategy, but that's not a great idea. Truth is you might not even have one. Maybe you should. Give it some thought.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Once you and your partner reach an agreement,
the job's more than halfway done. The other person's finding something hard to say. Ask questions,
or you might not discover what it is.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 4.
The less said at work, the better. Even messages will get garbled. Check all correspondence for typos before sending them out. If you hear or read something that doesn't seem right, call the source.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
You and a loved one have big plans, but more money's required. If your first attempt to find it doesn't work, try again. The idea that eventually pays off is one you've used before. Use your experience and be assertive.
Leo (Julv 23-Aua. 22) — Todav is a 6.
You do the work, but are you getting the money? Do the people who sign the checks know how tough this job is? They'll only know if you tell them, but don't complain. Think of another way to let them know, and more riches could be yours.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
If you're having a hard time getting your meaning across, relax. The other person might be having a hard time listening! A loved one with lots of experience can be a big help now. He or she can take a more direct route than you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 5.
Something you're worrying about may come to pass. No need fighting it; be assertive instead. Buy what you need to solve a problem at home. You already know what it is, so make the decision and take action. You'll feel better later.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You're a lot stronger than you think you are. You'll get help from a friend just when you need it most, too. Be sure to let the person who's waiting for the thumbs-up from you know when to move.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You might make a good deal if you can keep your mouth shut. Saying the wrong thing's the best way to get into trouble with an edgy perfectionist.
Concentrate on doing the job that's in front of you the way it's always been done.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You've got influential friends in the right places.
One might even owe you a favor. Don't ask for money.
That's about the only thing they won't provide. One might set you up with a good blind date, though, if you're interested.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Don't believe you every hear, even from an influential older person. Keep your expectations low so you won't be disappointed if what you're being offered turns out to be more illusion than reality. Do the homework to get the real thing.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Somebody's trying to tell you something. Figuring it out is today's assignment. Something's in the way like emotions or anger. Ignore that if you can, and what you finally learn could be valuable. The exercise is good for you, too.
**Guards:** Both teams lack backcourt depth, but the All-Stars have the edge in numbers and experience.
**Advantage:** All-Stars

Their jerseys say All-Star on them, but in reality most of the members of the EA Sports/California South All-Stars are players who were cut by their respective professional leagues.
Regardless, these former college and professional players will provide the first test for the Kansas men's basketball team. The Jayhawks have had just 15 practices this season, so All-Stars coach Phil Bryant said he hoped his team could give Kansas a run for its money.
"This is the strongest team we've been able to put together in some time." Bryant told the Laurence Journal-World. "We've got (Ed) Cota and (Drew) Barry in the lineup. Kenny Price has been shooting great. We have Kris Weems of Stanford and a bigger front line than we've had in the past."
They will need a staunch front line if they plan to counter Kansas' front attack, consisting of senior Eric Chenowith, junior Jeff Carey and sophomores Nick Collison and Drew Gooden. Collison and Gooden
are both preseason All-Big 12 Conference selections.
California will counter with 1999 Montana State graduate Nate Holmstadt, 1996 Colorado State graduate Joe Vogel and former college players Kevin Simmons of UNLV and Nantambu Willingham of Connecticut.
Vogel may pose the biggest threat to the Kansas interior. After being drafted No. 45 in the 1996 NBA draft by the Seattle Supersonics, Vogel was cut and wound up playing professionally in Lebanon.
"I came to Europe after I got drafted," Vogel said. "I played in Turkey, and then I played in Jordan. I got injured, so I am on the rebound to get healthy and hopefully get back in the NBA."
Vogel also said his experiences in Lebanon would help him because "big men in Lebanon were very athletic."
"Assane N'Diaye and we are pretty athletic for big men," Voegel said. "We rebound well, and we shoot the ball well."
N'Diaye was left behind in the Lebanon league, and Vogel now focuses his efforts on the All-Stars college tour.
Although they have a strong front line, in theory, this team hasn't played together much longer than a week, and most of its players have never played together in organized basketball. Still, Bryant said his players would be ready to go at tipoff.
"They are ready to go," Bryant said. "They've looked good in scrimmage situations. We feel comfortable we can give them what they need in an exhibition game. We'll be able to run some sets and some plays."
Ultimately, the strength of the All-Stars lies in the backcourt. Cota was an All-American standout at North Carolina, but he was not drafted this year after leading the Tar Heels to the NCAA Final Four. Barry and Weems provide an outside threat that sophomore guard Kirk Hinrich and junior guard Jeff Boschee will have to contain.
Weems also brings a local flavor to the game, having played at Schlagle High School in Kansas City, Kan., during his high school days. Price played at Colorado from 1995 to 1998 and is familiar with the Allen Fieldhouse environment.
