HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday.
Get your money in order; then spend it on your education. You already know what you want to do, so make it happen.
September's for planning, October's for spending. Get some nice clothes so you feel up to a challenge. Around November, life starts to get interesting, and by December you could be in for some major changes. Let an older person fuss over you in January and get back to work in February. A nervous Nellie holds the key to your success in June, so be sharp but not aboxious. Old friends help in July, but your self-confidence makes the difference in August.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. Q the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Keep your nose to the grindstone, no matter what temptations arise. A person whom you find attractive might want your attention, but you can't afford to spare much. A conversation that appears to be leading to something interesting probably won't.
Taurus (April 20-May 20.) Today is a 6.
You know money isn't everything, but it's not nothing, either. Don't throw yours around even if an older person tells you to. Something that looks like a good deal may be a waste of valuable resources.
Rely on common sense.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
Germany may july 12, 2017. today is
You may be in a fabulous mood, but don't get carried away. Somebody close to home needs your attention and more time than you want to give. Ignoring a little problem now could lead to a big problem later, however, so you
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
Prepare now so you can relax later. Give your plenty of time, too. Something that used to take an hour might take two or three. Don't believe all the gossip you hear, either. Somebody may have his or her wires crossed.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6.
Although your love life could be doing pretty well,
keep it confidential. The privacy of your home is the best
place for a romantic liaison. If you don't have a spouse,
consider the person who'd fit that scenario best.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
You're able to express yourself well, but should you? Maybe you could speak even more eloquently through a gift, instead. Somebody who's not saying much might appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today is a 7.
Although you're looking good, your energy level could be low. No need to let it worry you. Catch up on your beauty sleep. Might want to keep a pencil by the bed, too. You might have a dream worth writing home about.
Scarpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
You and friends have a lot to talk about; that's for sure You could hear some interesting stuff. Keep it to yourself, however. That's one of your strong points. They know they can trust you with secrets. Make sure they can.
Saittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Capricorn (Dec, 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
Your friends are eager to comfort you, but the hard cruel reality is still there. You'll have to produce the necessary information, on time and in an orderly fashion. You have it ready, don't you?
You should be in a good mood, but don't order your sweetheart around. In romance your best tactic is to be gentle, cooperative and compliant. Do what he or she wants, and everything will be fine.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8.
Your head's in the clouds, and all seems well with the world. In most respect it is, too. Keep your feet on the ground concerning your finances, however.
Don't spend more than you have, even on somebody who's stolen your heart.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Follow a practical person's advice. You may not want to do that, however. You'd rather do something fanciful, fun and maybe even frivolous. If you can resist temptation at least until tonight, your odds for success will improve.
Former Kansas player on Garden City team
A former Kansas football player dismissed from the team for academic reasons and declined a chance to return amid an alleged assault has made the football team at Garden City Community College as the Garden City coaches finalized their 55-man roster yesterday morning.
The player also has been linked to an alleged February assault outside the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St., with a former teammate against a Kansas soccer player. The other player cited remains on the Kansas roster.
KANSAS FOOTBALL
"Being in the United States, it's part of our Constitution that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty," Garden City assistant coach John Rossetti said.
Notes: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
The player is expected to be an integral part of the Garden City team, which is ranked No. 9 nationally and opens Saturday against Fort Scott. Only 12 out-of-state players are allowed on each junior college team.
The Garden City coaches were aware of the alleged assault and discussed the case in detail with the player before allowing him a roster spot.
"We do believe in his side of the story, what he's telling us," Rossetti said.
While the soccer player has previously said she would file charges and testify in court, nothing has been completed yet. If the player is charged, he will automatically be under suspension by Garden City school policy.
After apologizing repeatedly for the incident and how it was handled by the athletic department, Kansas football coach Terry Allen announced Aug. 10 he would not allow the player to apply for reinstatement to the school after the academic probation period was complete.
Upon Allen's decision, the player
"I think we've been very impressed with him as a kid," Rossetti said. "As far as character, you can usually tell a lot about a kid by his work ethic. His GPA was not high enough for (Kansas), but he fit in here. With the special help we can give him at a small community college, kids can flourish in this environment."

Green Bay to decide on stadium renovation
GREEN BAY, Wis. — How much does Green Bay love its Packers?
That devotion faces the ultimate test Sept. 12 when Brown County voters decide whether to enact a half-percent sales tax to help pay for a $295 million facelift and expansion of Lambeau Field. It's the first public vote on the venerable stadium since April
1956 when Green Bay voters, by a 2-1 margin, approved bonds to build it for $960,000.
The Packers, born in Green Bay in 1919 and the only publicly owned team in the NFL, have tapped the franchise's unique history in urging taxpayers to finance $160 million of the stadium renovation.
ours player convicted of domestic battery
INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts defensive back Mustafah Muhammad, unable to refute testimony from his 6-year-old stepson, was convicted of one count of domestic battery for beating his pregnant wife last fall.
Nichole Muhammad, who was five months pregnant, died 10 days later from excessive bleeding when she went into premature labor following a car accident. Her child was stillborn.
Muhammad was sentenced to one year in jail, which was suspended, and one year's probation.

Judge rules wrestler deserves Olympic spot
DENVER — A dispute between two wrestlers bidding to represent the United States at the Olympics has taken a plot twist along the lines ofWCW meets Mike Tyson.
Matt Lindland was placed on the Greco-Roman team for Sydney yesterday after the International Olympic Committee said he could be substituted for rival Keith Sieracki as ordered by a federal judge.
While awaiting a ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Sieracki said a videotape recorded by USA Wrestling shows Lindland biting Sieracki's ear during their qualifying match at the Olympic trials two months ago in Dallas.
Sieracki won the match 2-1 on a referee's decision. USA Wrestling committees upheld that decision, but an arbitrator ordered a rematch after Lindland claimed he was illegally tripped. Lindland won the rematch 8-0.
Lindland, an assistant coach at Nebraska until April, did not deny biting Sieracki's ear and said he wanted the videotape to be presented during arbitration.
The U.S. Olympic Committee reviewed the conflicting cases and submitted Sieracki's name as part of the Olympic team Sunday to comply with IOC deadlines. It asked the IOC Tuesday that Lindland be named as a replacement to comply with a judge's ruling in Chicago.
The USOC, meanwhile, has appealed Zagel's decision.

Devil Rays slide by Royals in another pitchers' duel
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Devil Rays may have found another starter.
"I'm feeling very strong," said Wilson, who had his longest outing in the majors since Sept. 20, 1996. "Health is priority No. 1 in their eyes and my eyes. They want to make sure I finish this year healthy."
The oft-injured Paul Wilson worked seven strong innings and Bobby Smith doubled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, helping the Devil Rays beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 last night.
Wilson, who missed all of last season after undergoing elbow surgery, allowed one run and five hits in his second start of the season. The right-hander, acquired in a four-player deal with the New York Mets on July 29, also missed parts of the 1997 and 98 seasons because of shoulder surgery.
"He's at a point in his career where he knows it's time to put it together physically," Tampa Bay manager Larry Rothschild said. "We just need to keep him healthy."
Steve Cox, who went 3 for 3,
opened the eighth with a walk
from Jeff Suppan (7-8). Pinch-runner Jason Tyner stole second
with one out and went to third on
Fred McGriff's grounder. Smith,
mired in a 1 for 27 slump, doubled
to center field.
"I think he just made a mistake to Smith." Kansas City manager Tony Muser said. "Got it up and out over the plate."
Tony Flore (1-0) worked a scoreless eighth to get his first major league win. Roberto Hernandez got the final three outs for his 28th save in 34 opportunities.
Fiore, who made his big-league debut last Sunday, is in his ninth professional season and has made 927 minor-league appearances.
Suppan gave up two runs and seven hits in 7-2 3-1innings. It was just his second loss in seven decisions since the All-Star break.
he's been great since the AllStar break," Kansas City's Johnny Damon said. "Unfortunately, some nights the offense has to sleep. We didn't show up tonight."
"It is very frustrating." Royals catcher Hector Ortiz said. "We were trying to do everything we

can to score runs for him, and we
couldn't do it. He worked as hard
as he could to keep us in the game,
but we didn't perform good."
Todd Dunwoody's sacrifice fly in the second inning gave the Royals a 1-1 lead. The Devil Rays tied it in the sixth when Smith hit into a double play with the bases loaded.
The game took 2 hours, 30 minutes. Tampa Bay has played seven straight games in under three hours.
"Good baseball games can be very boring," Muser said. "It was a very good baseball game. You've got to give credit to both clubs. They played well. No brawls. Country hardball."
Notes:
Damon was the designated hitter, which allowed Dunwoody to start in center. "I've been trying to get Dunwoody in the lineup," Muser said. "We're going to take a look at a lot of people."
Damon has a hit in 24 of 25 games.
- Wilson threw six shutout innings last Saturday at Baltimore.
