Today's Birthday (Nov. 21)
Today's Birthday (Nov. 2).
You could get your hands on a lot of money this year. The challenge is not letting all of it slip through your fingers. The best strategy is to stash most of it away for later. If you can acquire this skill, you'll end up wealthy and wise. Stop smoking and drinking booze, and you'll also be healthy. Well, two outta three's not bad.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6. You always like to be among the elite, but that can get expensive. Turn your frustration into motivation. Your competition is looking good so tighten up your presentation. Practice,practice, practice.
taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
It should be apparent by now that costs will be higher than anticipated. It may take all your expertise to stay within your budget. If the check that was supposed to have been in the mail hasn't shown up yet, relax. Those folks may be experiencing cash-flow difficulties, too Go to Plan B.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. You can choose all the perfect words to express your innermost feelings. But keep a lid on that today, especially where personal relationships are concerned. Don't share what's going on with co-workers. Schedule your conversation for a more private setting tonight and over the weekend.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. If you're getting conflicting orders, slow down. Could it be that the folks who are asking you to do things don't know what they want? Don't push. Haste makes waste — and a lot of extra work.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
You can stay objective because you're the only one who isn't pushing for a specific agenda. It'll be easier for the others to reach a compromise later. You might suggest that everybody think about it over the weekend.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
You're still in the mood to edit. Cut the superfluous. Get down to basics. You're good at this.
You can sort the wheat from the chaff with no trouble at all. Then, it's off to your favorite hang-out with a person you respect and admire. Only the best.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
More homework is required, but you can learn.
You may have to completely change your perspective. You can do that if it makes you more effective. Keep digging for the facts.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
It would be nice if everyone would just do what you say. It sometimes happens, but this is unlikely to be one of those days. You're more likely to get an argument about how you should spend the money. Be patient.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6. Your competition is fierce, but you and your whole team are inspired to be more creative. Think inside the box, put in the extra work, then celebrate.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
Something is about to disrupt your routine. Are
you prepared? Don't worry — your friends will
be glad to help if you'll do the same. Stash away
supplies for the winter.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Take time to consult with close relatives and loved ones about recent changes. Review all the information as carefully as you can. You don't want to miss anything important. There may be a quiz later.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
You've presented a good argument. One of your adversaries is about to be convinced to come over to your side. Your combination of restraint and creativity is a winning one. They're fascinated with you.
Blast boosts Yankees in 9th, again
NEW YORK — Scott Brosius must have learned something from watching Tino Martinez.
The Associated Press
watching Brosius matched his teammate's feat from the night before, hitting a game-tying homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning as the New York Yankees topped the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 in 12 innings in Game 5 of the World Series last night.
"I did get goose bumps," Brosius said. "This is a World Series game. It's fun to hang around these guys
who are getting the big hits. I'm just hanging on the coattails."
Before Wednesday, there had been just three homers that tied or won a Series game with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. So the Yankees just went out and did it on consecutive nights.
hanging on it, Brosius did more than that, once again saving the Yankees from going on the brink of elimination in the World Series with his homer off Arizona closer Byung-Hyun Kim. New York now heads back to the desert up 3-2 after Alfonso Soriano's winning hit.
That's the kind of run it's been for New York, winning four titles in five years under manager Joe Torre.
five years under Like Martinez, Brosius is also in the final year of his contract. With prospect Drew Henson waiting in the minors, Brosius might have played his last home game at Yankee Stadium. He made it memorable.
Acquired before the 1998 season from Oakland, all Brosius has done is win in New York. He has a 349 career average with four homers and 13 RBIs in 63 Series at-bats.

Volleyball team digs in for Tiger match
By Steve Laurenzo Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team faces rivai Missouri at 7 p.m. tomorrowat the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo.
Missouri is coming off a pair of road wins, beating Oklahoma and Iowa State. Kansas has won just two of its last 12 matches.
Missouri defeated Kansas 5-1, in the teams' Oct. 1 match The Tigers had four players in double-digits in kills, hit 29.9 percent as a team and had 13 blocked shots.
The Jayhawks had eight blocked shots, hit 15.9 percent as a team and had only two players with double-digit kill totals. Sophomore outside hitter Abbie Jacobson had 11 kills, and freshman outside hitter Danielle
McHenry had 10 kills.
The Tigers sit at No. 5 in the Big 12 while the Jayhawks are No. 9. Missouri is 18-6 on the season and 8-6 in the Big 12 Conference, and Kansas is 13-12, 3-11.
Junior outside hitter Lisa Morris leads the Tigers with an average of 4.15 kills per game. Morris, the older sister of Kansas freshman outside hitter Lindsey Morris, recorded a match-high 20 kills against the Jayhawks in the Oct. 1 match.
The Tigers lead the series with the Jayhawks, 33-31, and have won their last three matches with Kansas. Coach Ray Bechard has a 1-2 record in Columbia with his one win coming back in 1999.
Middle blocker Christi Myers leads the Tigers with 1.28 blocks per game and is second on the
squad with almost 10 kills per contest.
test. The Jayhawks are coming off a lopsided loss Wednesday to Kansas State.
Bechard said his team's timing was a little off against the Wildcats.
Bechard said several Kansas coaches called to offer encouragement after the loss to Kansas State.
"You're so dependent on somebody else bettering the ball so you can better the ball, and we had a difficult time getting in a playing rhythm because our tempo was just little bit off," he said.
"It was neat for a lot of the coaches on staff to check in and say you're a better team than that," Bechard said.
Bechard said the Jayhawks were trying to get past the loss and do well against another rival.
"What happens is important, but how you react to it is more important," Bechard said. "We had a competitive match with them earlier in the season, but the Hearnes center is a different story."
story. After some adjustment, he said the Tigers were playing well.
"They've been toying with their lineup and I think they've settled now," Bechard said. "I think they're getting into a better playing rhythm."
Lindsey Morris said playing her sister in a match was a difficult situation.
"As much as I want her to succeed," she said, "I would love to get up there and block her or see one of my teammates block her."

nation.
The Jayhawks' top eight-boat is coming off a 12th place finish at the Head of the Iowa Regatta last Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa. The Wildcats were at the event and finished third.
The Kansas rowing team will close out its fall season tomorrow against rival Kansas State University in Manhattan.
"Winning this regatta and taking home the trophy is important to us," Catloth said. "We've won it the last two years, and we plan on keeping it."
Coach Rob Catloth said he hoped this weekend's Sunflower Showdown results would be different.
For the first time, Kansas will race head-on against another team. The three previous regattas were races against time, conducted in several heats.
The Sunflower Showdown is a sprint race, meaning the crew that crosses the finish line first wins.
"There's a lot more tactics that go into this type of race," Catloth said. "You have to show a lot more will to win, and you can't fold under pressure."
Catloth said his team tended to perform better in sprints, which was the type of race used during the spring season.
