HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aug. 28).
You have superhuman powers this year. Use them to push past a barrier that's stifled you for ages. Nothing gets past you in September. Choose your target and do your planning then. Practice new skills through November and toss out something you've outgrown in December. Get the support you need in January and take advantage of a surprise in February. Pay attention to the details and succeed at a tough assignment in June. Accept the applause in July and put in the necessary corrections next August.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. O the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Work is what's happening now. Take good care of somebody else, and you'll gain in ways too numerous to mention. Also, take care of yourself by following on that health-related matter you've been postponing.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 9.
You are lucky, again. You should succeed in just about anything you try. The biggest problem you're likely to encounter is a battle about whether you should go out for dinner or eat in. If somebody else is treating, that's an easy one, too.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5.
Germany July 21 2015, Tuesday
Expect a lot of activity at your house. If money's the topic under discussion, congratulations. You're in the right place at the right time. Now, how about coming up with an incentive that motivates the whole family to stick to the budget?
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an R
Cancer June 22 July 10 today is too much.
You're smart today. You're quick-witted and able to find just the right words. You can argue your case brilliantly. If you do the homework first, you may find more reasons people should do what you want. You're hot!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5.
You can finally figure out how much you have, where it's coming from and where it's supposed to go. It might even be fun. Well, if not fun, at least entertaining. Besides, you may find enough to buy yourself a new toy. Now, that would be fun.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 9.
You're strong and powerful. Even an older person may have to admit you're right. It may be difficult for them, at first, so be gentle. Not only are you right, you're also gracious. Right?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today is a 5.
Something that looked really difficult even yesterday may start to look possible. It doesn't look easy yet — just possible. Sometimes that can be a great improvement. Chin up!
ocorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Today is an 8. You and your friends should have an excellent time. You may have to go along with what the crowd decides, but that's OK this time. Help them be practical, and they'll give you more authority when the next decision is made.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5. You could have to pass a tough test. Are you up to date on all the latest facts and figures? Better know what you're supposed to know before you're asked. This interrogation could come at any moment.
Cuproom (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8. If you can serve more people, you'll become more successful. You already knew that? Well, what you might not know is how. Today a brilliant idea could show up, right under your nose. You may wonder how you missed it before.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 4.
Other people's money, stocks and bonds, and savings accounts are your focus now if you're smart. You may not know much about this sort of thing, yet. You can learn, and it's definitely worth the effort.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Your partner might care more than you do about this whole project. Go along and be supportive; however, mention that an older person's wants and needs should be considered, too.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL Guard Miles to choose Kansas or Arizona soon
Palm trees or wheat? Lake Meade or Clinton Lake? Roy Williams or Lute Olson?
These are the questions facing highly-touched guard Aaron Miles from Portland, Ore., who will choose between Kansas and Arizona, according to HighMajorHoops.com. Unnamed sources on the Web site said that the Jayhawks and Wildcats are in a dead heat for Miles' services, with UCLA running a distant third.
Miles has said that he would like to choose his school during the early signing period in November. Last season, Miles averaged 15 points per game for Jefferson High School.
The Jayhawks have five scholarships available for the 2001 school year, but one is already tabbed for Leavenworth forward Wayne Simien. Simien gave Kansas an oral commitment at the beginning of the summer.

New Tech coach unveils different offense in win

In their first game under Leach, sophomore Kliff Kingsbury completed 21-of-47 passes — bettering last year's single-game highs of 15 completions and 32 attempts — for 186 yards and two touchdowns. The Red Raiders were only credited with 24 rushing attempts, and four of those were when Kingsbury was sacked.
This was only game one in a vastly different Tech offensive system. The Red Raiders ran two-thirds of the time under former coach Spike Dykes.
DENTON, Texas — Junior Richard Bridges has maintained his role as the starting quarterback for North Texas.
Texas Tech's remaining three-game non-conference schedule will be played at home before their Big 12 Conference opener Sept. 30 at Texas A&M.
Coach Darrell Dickey said Bridges, who started the final six games last season, will start Thursday night's season opener at home against Baylor. Sophomore Spencer Stack or freshman Scott Hall will be the No. 2 quarterback.
i anticipate that we might play more than one quarterback against Baylor and that all three will get a chance to play early this season," Dickey said.
In his first start last season, Bridges led the Mean Green to a 17-10 victory against Boise State, the Big West Conference champ that didn't lose another game in the Big West. Then came five straight North Texas losses.
Bridges kept as starter for North Texas football
Dickey said Bridges got the starting nod because of his experience and his visible improvement during preseason drills.
