HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 16).
Youd's is a friend (Oct. 10).
You'll need to develop discipline this year. That'll be the most difficult test because you won't think you need it. A lot of what you think you want will come easily, but you'll know that's not all there is. If you forget, a pesky relative will remind you. Being better than everyone else isn't enough. Stretch the boundaries of your talent.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6. You may not be feeling quite up to par. Luckily, somebody you know wants to take over for a while. If you're embroiled in a dispute, it's OK to let somebody else get you untangled.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 5.
Just when you thought you saw the light at the end of the tunnel, you heard the train whistle blow. Actually, it's not that bad. It's just more red tape to untangle. Work late, if necessary, to get it done. Tomorrow will be more fun.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 10.
Admit it! You're wonderful. You're brilliant, cute,
compassionate, gentle and full of fun. Who
could resist your charms? No one, that's who.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
There's a time for running about, dancing with joy for no reason at all. But some days you feel like hiding out and either reading a good book or just gazing into space. Perhaps this day falls into the latter category.
Lee (July 23-Aug. 22), Today is an 8.
Friends and your mate have encouraged you to try something new, but you didn't think you had the time. What you really lacked was motivation. When you have that, making time is easy, as you'll soon discover.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
You should be able to negotiate an excellent deal. You're valuable, so make sure others know that. Make sure your paycheck reflects it, too. And ask for the money people owe you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 10.
It's possible that someone may object to your
agenda, but their discouraging comments will
barely be noticeable. Not that you should be
insensitive, of course. Be aware so that you can hear the dissenters and incorporate their ideas. That way you can charm them, too.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
They say still waters run deep, and that's a good way to describe you. Other people would be amazed if they knew what was going on beneath the surface. There's a swarm of ideas, hopes, dreams and fantasies. Find a quiet place to think. Don't take action until Thursday.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.
Are you planning a big event? Now would be the time to do so. But you may be receiving so many invitations that you barely have time for your job.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Are you in the mood to completely redecorate your home, move to a more luxurious setting or spend more than you can afford on a new wardrobe? Perhaps you could get a few things, but don't overdo it. A few really high-quality items should satisfy the craving.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5.
Keep your head down and your comments to yourself for one more day. It's wise to pick the battles you can win. The advantage is with the other person now, so try to control your acidic wit and follow orders.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 10.
You're unstoppable. Start all your new projects now, even the impossible ones. Sure, you have a few doubts. So what? Use them as motivation. You're on a roll.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Mariners top Indians in Game 5, keep their magical season alive
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — This unexpected season of seasons isn't nearly finished for the Seattle Mariners.
Back home where the Mariners' magic multiplies, baseball's best team during the regular season guaranteed it would be around for most of October.
Jamie Moyer tamed Cleveland's bats for six innings, Ichiro Suzuki got three more hits, and Mark Lemore drove in two runs yesterday as the Mariners advanced to the ALCS with a 3-1 win against the Cleveland Indians in the deciding Game 5 of the playoffs.
After saving its record-setting season on Sunday by winning Game 4 in Cleveland, the Mariners returned to the safety and screaming fans in Safeco Field and did what they've done all season.
They got solid starting pitching, clutch base hits, solid relief work and won for the 119th time since April. There was no wild celebration after third baseman David Bell threw out Juan Gonzalez at first for the final out. The Mariners know they still have a lot of work ahead.
As 47,867 stood and cheered, the players exchanged hugs and high-fives near second base before heading to a clubhouse celebration. And now, the Mariners advance to their third ALCS they also appeared in '95 and 2000 - but for the first time, they'll have home-field advantage when they get there.
Seattle will play host to the best-of-seven series beginning tomorrow against either the Oakland Athletics or New York Yankees, who played their own Game 5 last night.
Notes:
Suzuki batted .489 (23-for-47) against the Indians this season.
The Mariners' charter from Cleveland arrived in Seattle at about 10 p.m. PDT Sunday night after Game 4, and the Indians got to their downtown hotel an hour later. Indians assistant GM Mark Shapiro said sleep was overrated with a season on the line.
"Guys don't need sleep to get up for a game like this," said Shapiro, who will take over GM duties on Nov. 1 for Hart. "Adrenaline takes care of it."
Yankees come back, advance
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — With no margin for error, Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees' pin-striped dynasty persevered with one of the great comebacks in baseball history.
As Jeter solidified his place in Yankees' lore, the three-time defending World Series champions became the first team ever to win a best-of-five series after losing the first two games at home.
New York fell behind early as Roger Clemens stumbled, then seized on Oakland's youthful nerves to beat the Athletics 5-3 in the deciding Game 5 last night and advance to the AL championship series.
New York, trying to become only the third team to win the World Series four straight times, opens the AL championship tomorrow at Seattle, with renewed confidence that nothing is outside its grasp.
The Yankees' resolve, the refusal not to give in that has led them to four World Series titles in five years under manager Joe Torre, kicked in while
the A's buckled.
Soriano, one of the nookies added this year to an ever-changing roster, started it with a two-run single in the second off Mark Mulder, who had shut down the Yankees in the opener. Soriano's hit came after Scott Brosius, in a horrible lift, loaded the bases when he was hit by a pitch on the foot.
The best example of the struggles by the A's, who also lost the first round to the Yankees 3-2 last year. came in the fifth.
last year.
Jason Giambi hit an RBI single off Mike Stanton, who had just replaced Clemens, but Miguel Tejada failed to go from first to third on the play. It became costly when Chavez flied to right, a ball Tejada could have scored on.
Giambi and Tejada had an animated discussion after the inning, with the MVP first baseman jabbing his finger at his teammate. About an inning later, they had a talk in the dugout and appeared to make up.
NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Cowboys emerge from game with close win
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — For three quarters, the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins really looked like they were playing the "Gutter Bowl."
Then two of the NFL's worst teams played to an exciting finish.
Tim Seder, whose kicking leg collided with a horse during pregame warmups, made a 26-yard field goal as time expired last night and Dallas got a 9-7 victory, its first of the year. The Cowboys (1-4) won their eight straight game against the Redskins (0-5), who lost their first seven games in 1998.
The only positive for Washington, which led 7-3 early in the fourth quarter, was the close loss. The Redskins had been beaten by at least 14 points in every game while getting outscored 135-25.
The wretched records of the once-proud teams prompted Washington defensive end Ken Lang to give the game its nickname. He noted that the franchises that have won a combined eight Super Bowls are in the gutter and "are trying to climb out of it."
until Tony Banks threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Michael Westbrook early in the fourth quarter to give the Redskins a 7-3 lead.
Dallas, which fittedly won without scoring a touchdown, made it 7-6 when Seder kicked a 39-yard field goal with 6:36 left.
Washington wasted a great scoring chance when Smoot intercepted a deep pass to Galloway and returned it 36 yards to the Dallas 40. The Redskins were called for a false start before the first play and wound up punting.
Washington and Dallas traded silly mistakes
The Cowboys almost blew their early lead right after they took it. With 21 seconds left in the half, they tried an onside kick and Washington recovered at its 46. Banks completed two passes to reach the Cowboys' 26, but with 1 second left Brett Conway missed a 44-yard field goal.
Flash bulbs popped as the game-winner went through and Dallas players ran on the field celebrating as if they'd won a much bigger bowl. Hambrick tore off his helmet and spit in the ground as if he was twirling a touchdown ball in the end zone.
GOLF
Rain delays first home meet, but could help Jayhawks
The Kansas women's golf team had to wait one more day to play its first home meet in coach Nicole Hollingworth's three-year tenure.
Rain canceled the first two rounds yesterday of the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational at Alvamar Golf Course.
Yesterday's cancellation came as a disappointment to the Jayhawks, who have been looking forward to playing at home.
"If we could just go and light it up for one round, it can help us," she said
The tournament will now consist of 18 holes that will be played this morning at Alvamar. Hollingsworth said she the cancellation could give the Jayhawks an advantage.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Texas Tech quarterback named offensive player of the week
DALLAS — Texas Tech quarterback Kliff Kingsbury, who had 490 yards passing and four touchdown passes in a 38-19 win against Kansas State Saturday, was named the Big 12 Conference offensive player of the week.
Colorado linebacker Joey Johnson won the defensive honor, and Iowa State kicker Tony Yelk was named the special teams player of the week yesterday by media covering Saturday's Big 12 games.
Kingsbury set a school record with his third career 400-yard passing game in leading Texas Tech to a 38-19 win against then-No. 21 Kansas State. It was the Red Raiders' first win against a ranked opponent since 1999. He finished the game with 409 yards passing on 32-of-47 attempts.
Kingsbury also had 413 yards of total offense and threw four touchdown passes to three different receivers. He tied a Texas Tech all-time mark with his sixth career 300-yard passing game. The 409 yards is fourth on the Red Raiders' single-game passing list,
NFL
Chiefs lineman's broken leg might not end his entire season
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil, hungry for a shred of good news after a 1-4 start to the season, said yesterday that offensive tackle Victor Riley is not necessarily lost for the season with a broken leg.
"There is a chance he could come back this year," Vermeil said. "The broken bone is in place. What they want to see is how injured the ankle is below the break."
betore Riley's injury, the Chiefs lost cornerbacks Ray Crockett and William Bartee on the same play. Bartee was able to get back into the game, but Crockett, the team's best and most experienced defensive back, broke his hand.
"I've coached a long time, but this is the first time I lever lost two cornerbacks on one snap," Vermeil said. After a week or two, Crockett could be fitted with a cast that allows him to play. Barlee, who had been alternating with right cornerback Eric Warfield, will step in full time for Crockett.
