HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 4). Flights of fancy capture your imagination this year, but common sense keeps you grounded. Dreams you share with a loved one motivate you in October. Reality rears its ugly head around November. Something new is required, and you'll find it in December. Make the changes you require at home in January. Settle into a routine you can live with and love in February. Travel plans should materialize in June. Do what an older woman wants in July. Do what a little birdie tells you in September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Don't try something you just learned, in a work-related setting. Instead, carefully watch what the others are doing. A breakdown is likely, and you'll look better if you prevent it than if you cause it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Don't let a loved one run off with your money. He or she might spend it foolishly. That includes your kids, of course. You may feel generous, but if the other person's irresponsible, you could end up with buyer's regret.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Somebody you live with could be difficult. Be gracious and forgiving, just because you can. Don't worry about who is right or wrong; try to stay cheerful. That will help you come up with a good idea.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) --- Today is a 7.
Carefully review information you're receiving, even if it's from a reliable source. Catch the error before it gets far, and you could save others' time and money. That could make more time and money for you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
A friend's fabulous scheme sounds great, until you look at it closely. Don't fund it with your savings, or you could lose the money and the friendship! An older person you don't always like could advise you well in this situation.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
Try not to get into an ego battle with the person who signs your paycheck. That's not a good idea, even if you win, you lose. Watch your words and tone of voice, too. This may seem unimportant in a couple of days, so don't quit over it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
Travel and long-distance communications are fraught with peril. Postpone sending valuable correspondence or packages. Your chances of getting through are better if you start later, even later today. A delay could be a good thing.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
Don't trust a friend's recommendation if money's involved. That includes the money you have in investments, as well as the money in your pocket.
What at first seems like a fabulous deal could be a huge disappointment.
Saquittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
Sigmarus (NOV. 22-Dec. 21) is a lady. Some tricky negotiations are going on, and some changes are being made. If you stay on the sidelines, you'll be less likely to make one yourself. An opportunity may open up for you because somebody above you falls flat. Watch out!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Work could interfere with your travel plans, but that's OK. If you work, you could benefit more than you expected. If you travel, it could cost more than you thought. So keep working and be happy!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --- Today is a 6.
If somebody at home or a close relative is having difficulties, offer your shoulder to cry on. Don't open your wallet far, however. That might make matters worse.
Don't follow a loved one's financial advice, either.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8.
Pieces (Feb. 19- March 20) — Today is all 8.
If your partner or a close friend is having trouble at work or home, offer support and prayers. Don't get directly involved. You can't fix the situation that way. Besides, this tempest may be past by tomorrow. No point in your getting all upset, too.
KANSAS BASKETBALL
Chuck Hayes scheduled a visit with a Midwestern school with a strong basketball tradition — but it's not Kansas.
Courted Kansas recruit to visit St. Louis Friday
Hayes, a 6-foot-6 forward from Modesto, Cali., told Dave Teepal of Rivals100Hoops.com yesterday that he will visit St. Louis University this weekend. Along with the Billikens, Hayes is being heavily recruited by the 'Hawks, Kentucky, Texas-EI Paso, and California-Berkley. Hayes has stated that St. Louis and California are at the top of his list, even though Kansas and Kentucky have reportedly offered him scholarships.
Hayes made his official visit to Kansas the weekend of Sept. 22.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"He really wants to go to a school where he can develop and work on his shooting," Charles Hayes, Hayes' father, told Telep. "He needs good coaching. He needs to learn about the business of basketball; he himself might want to be a coach someday."
While the scholarship offer to Hayes by Kansas reportedly remains on the table, the Jayhawks are looking at Friday. Oct. 13 as the biggest recruiting day of the season. That Friday, highly touted recruits Aaron Miles, Jamal Sampson, Josh Childress and Michael Lee visit Kansas for Late Night with Roy Williams.

Baseball managers fired as regular season closes
After a season in which there were no managerial changes for the first time since 1942, pink slips are being handed out the off-season.
MLB
Showalter, the only manager in the Diamondbacks' three-year history, won the National League West in 1999, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Mets and fell to third place this season.
Arizona's Buck Showalter, Cincinnati's Jack McKeon and Pittsburgh's Gene Lamont were all fired a day after the regular season ended.
Reds general manager Jim Bowden said he would wait until the playoffs end to choose a replacement for McKeon, last year's National League Manager of the Year.
The Pirates (69-93), who finished fifth in the National League Central, 26 games behind St. Louis, will head into a new stadium with a new manager next year.
Tampa Bay's Larry Rothschild won't join the list of unemployed skippers, although three of his coaches were fired — bench coach Bill Russell, bullpen coach Orlando Gomez and hitting coach Leon Roberts.

Runners finish fifth at Jamboree
Team encouraged after senior's return to leadership role
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswrite
If Saturday's performance at the Oklahoma State Jamboree is any indication of the future, the Kansas men's cross country can expect to improve all of its expectations for this season.
Kansas' finished fifth out of 20 teams at the Jamboree and competed against several ten teams
in the country,
in cluding
Arkansas and
Oklahoma
State, which
finished second
and third
in the tournament.
Junior Brent Behrens was the Jayhawks' top finisher. He said the men's team was on the verge of having a breakout meet.
"We've been waiting for this to happen," Behrens said. "Coming into the year we had high expectations, and Saturday we showed what we can do. We're getting a lot better, and I'm definitely excited about finishing fifth."
"We need to come to every meet expecting to do that well," Redwine said. "If we act like we were surprised by our performance, then we would be bringing down our expectations."
Coach Stanley Redwine said he was not surprised by the men's performance at the Jamboree and added that the men needed to keep expecting to succeed.
The Jamboree's field gave the team an idea of how hard it still needs to work to contend for the Big 12 Conference Championships. Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech were some of the teams that participated in Saturday's meet, and Behrens said that this year's Big 12 Championships should be a lot different from the previous one.
"I'm not going to straight out say that we're going to win it." Behrens said. "But if we keep improving and work hard, I think we'll have a good shot at finishing in the top three."
The Saturday return of senior Charlie Gruber didn't just give Kansas more team points, but he also brought much needed leadership back to the team.
Redwine said that Gruber's presence brings out the best in the entire squad.
"It's always good to get a guy back who can jump into your top five," Redwine said. "But with
"We need to come to every meet expecting to that well. If we act like we were surprised by our performance, then we would be bringing down our expectations."
Charlie, we get leadership, and he's there to pick everyone on the team up."
Stanley Redwine men's cross country coach
Redwine said that he also had been encouraged by the aggressiveness that the men showed in the Jamboree because he said that was something the team needed to improve on to compete with the top powers in the Big 12.
"I was happy with how hard we ran on Saturday, and even when we were making mistakes, they were because guys were trying too hard." Redwine said.
The Jayhawks have one more test on Saturday, Oct. 14 at the Chili Pepper invitational in Fayetville, Ark., before heading to Boulder, Colo., for the Big 12 Championships.
