HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 3). You're in for all sorts of activity this year. Is it time for a better job? Is relocation required? No problem. You'll stay loyal to your exciting mate or partner, but the two of you could get into all sorts of adventures. Don't have an exciting mate or partner yet? Get started on the adventures, and you'll have one soon.
arries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
You're right, of course, but others don't agree. Don't bother trying to convince them with words. Behave admirably, and they'll be persuaded by your actions. Be like John Wayne.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. The people in positions of authority don't seem to know what they're doing. Communications between them are garbled. You can use this situation to your advantage. Quietly do what's most effective, as only you know how. You're a master at this.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.A friend who's having domestic troubles may turn to you for advice. You'd be wise not to say much. Instead, help your overintelectual buddy get some physical exercise. A workout at the gym will help put things in perspective.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
You have a wish list, but don't race out and get that stuff quite yet. If you can save up the money and pay cash, you'll save a bundle in interest charges.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7.
Friends are a dime a dozen, but true love is more elusive, and your own true love may be in a bit of a snit. You're very busy, but that's no excuse. Make time for the one who didn't ask you to - not verbally, at least.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
An offer that seems too good to be true,
is. Don't say "yes" until you you've done the homework. That means interrogating loved ones who've been there and done that. Put their experience to work for you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 7.
You're usually a very good communicator, but one very attractive person could have you tongue-tied. Be a good listener instead. You'll appear very intelligent — which, of course, you are.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Still having trouble taking action? Feel like you're driving with the emergency brake on? That can be dangerous to your vehicle, and/or your mental health, especially because you want to go fast. Can you figure out a way to release whatever's slowing you down?
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7. There's excitement in the air, is it because of all the balls you're juggling? You're so popular, you're in danger of being run ragged, it's hard to turn down a friend, but you may have to do it for the sake of a loved one.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 5. The others are spending so much time and energy bickering, they may not even notice you as you quietly advance your own agenda. Don't be distracted. Stay on course.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5
Be careful if you go shopping now.
You're in an impulsive mood, and you
know how you get when that happens.
Don't give your whole paycheck to a
friend in need, either. Save enough for
the rent.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Everything looks fine, but it's not that
easy. Complications lurk just beneath
the surface. Delays in travel and com-
munifications are likely. Just pay atten-
tion.
Badgers face third violation after athletes receive store discounts
NCAA penalizes Wisconsin
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin was put on five years' probation and lost some football and basketball scholarships yesterday after an investigation found a shoe store gave discounts to athletes.
The NCAA said the university failed to adequately monitor its athletic programs, especially because this was the school's third major rules violation in eight years.
The NCAA, however, did not strip the school of any postseason awards, including its 2000 trip to the men's Final Four.
"Given the institution's recent history of major violations of NCAA legislation, the committee believed that the university should have had a heightened sense of vigilance with respect to strict adherence to NCAA legislation." the NCAA said in its report
In April, the university put itself on three years' probation.
penalized itself $150,000 and stripped five scholarships during the next three years — four from football and one from men's basketball.
In addition, the NCAA reduced the number of football scholarships the university can offer in the 2002-03 and 2003-04 school years from 25 to 20. It also ordered the school to cut a men's basketball scholarship in 2003-04.
The university's investigation found that 157 athletes in 14 sports violated NCAA rules by accepting at least $23,000 in unadvertised discounts from The Shoe Box, a store 25 miles from Madison in Black Earth.
In some cases, athletes received no-interest credit arrangements that weren't generally available to other students. A report in the Wisconsin State Journal prompted the university's investigation.
The university has since banned athletes, coaches and athletics administrators from shopping at The Shoe Box.
"This was hundreds of kids involving thousands of dollars. That's significant," said Tom Yea.

Chancellor John Wiley reprimanded athletics director Pat Richter and compliance officer Tim Bald for their failure to properly investigate the accusations. Both received letters of reprimand, and Richter's salary was frozen for one year.
All the athletes were ordered to pay a charity the amount of their improper discounts. Some athletes were suspended and ordered to perform community service.
All three major rules violations occurred during Richter's term as athletic director.
NFL confident of switch,proposed date same as auto dealers convention
Super Bowl date negotiated
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — Even though the mayor of New Orleans was all but certain the Super Bowl would be played there on Feb. 3, the NFL and an auto dealers group were still working yesterday to resolve problems with switching dates.
A switch with the auto dealers involves arrangements with hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of delegates, all who have reservations and schedules in place.
"This is not a done deal yet," said David Hyatt, spokesman for the National Automobile Dealers
Association. "We have logistical problems. We have some other problems."
Hyatt said a NADA committee sent a reworded copy of the latest NFL proposal back to the league for what he called "technical clarifications." He would not elaborate.
He said four major hotels, including the Hilton, had not returned agreements guaranteeing NADA rooms on their new date. The Hilton is to be their convention headquarters. Another hotel, the Fairmont, has told NADA they will have rooms available, but not the space needed for convention functions.
New Orleans mayor Marc Morial said Monday the switch was "99 percent certain."
But NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the had not been
completed. "We've asked them to get back to us and we haven't heard yet," he said.
NADA wanted the NFL to cover its multimillion-dollar expenses and losses of shifting its convention.
The Super Bowl had been scheduled for New Orleans on Jan. 27, but the NFL wants to delay the playoffs a week because of the week it took off after the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington. Its other alternatives are playing Feb. 3 in another city or condensing the playoff schedule to have teams play as many as three games in 10 days.
"I'm 99 percent certain that the Super Bowl will stay in New Orleans," Morial said. "There are still details that are to be worked out, but my feeling is very good about this situation."
Tyson prepares for coming fight
Former champ arrives in Copenhagen for first bout of year
The Associated Press
COPENHAGEN, Denmark Mike Tyson arrived Monday in Copenhagen, where he will fight Denmark's Brian Nielsen this month in a bout regarded as a major step toward Tyson getting another shot at the heavyweight title.
"If he wins, he'll meet the winner of fight between Hasim Rahman and Lennox Lewis," Tyson manager Shelly Finkel said. "That's for sure."
The fight on Oct. 13 against the 36-year-old Nielsen (62-1, 43 knockouts) will be the first in nearly a year for Tyson, who last fought Oct. 20, 2000 against Andrew Golota.
That fight at Auburn Hills, Mich., was ruled a no-contest after Golota quit in the second round.
The Rahman-Lewis fight is set for Nov. 17. Rahman became the WBC and IBF heavyweight champion when he stopped Lewis on April 22 in South Africa.
Wearing a lambskin coat and a wool hat, Tyson and his entourage plowed through reporters, photographers, television crews and autograph seekers.
no-contests, 42 knockouts) declined comment, saying only that the 14-hour flight from Las Vegas via Washington was "nice."
Initially scheduled for Sept. 8, the fight against Nielsen was pushed back five weeks because Tyson had back spasms that kept him from properly preparing. Finkel said Tyson was in "great shape" before leaving for Copenhagen.
Last week, police searched Mike Tyson's home in Las Vegas, where he was training, after a sexual assault allegation was made against him, the second in less than three months. No charges have been filed against Tyson.

FOOTBALL Missouri picks Farmer for spot as starting quarterback
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri quarterback Kirk Farm will start for the second time this season Saturday at Oklahoma State, Tiger coach Gary Pinkel said Monday.
Farmer continues to take the place of Darius Outlaw, who started the first two games for Missouri (1-3) while Farmer recovered from a preseason hand injury suffered in an off-field incident.
This is the first time this season that Pinkel, with a choice between two healthy options, has announced the starter early in the week. Last week, Pinkel didn't say until shortly before kickoff that Farmer would start against No. 4 Nebraska.
Missouri lost that game 36-3, with Outlaw playing just one series at quarterback. Farmer, who also suffered a sprained knee against Southwest Texas State on Sept. 8, completed 15-of-39 passes for 128 yards against the Huskers.
"He has to play." Pinkel said. "He's missed so much that he just has to play. He made some great throws the other day. His decision-making, his ability to manage that game and he's a great athlete — those all contributed to the decision."
Pinkel said Farmer's recovery from the knee injury is progressing faster than anticipated by team doctors.
"I think he got fatigued a little bit toward the end of the game," Pinkel said. "Every day now it heals more and think his wind will come back and he'll be 100 percent by Saturday."
Farmer said he preferred to know what his starting role will be before facing Oklahoma State (2-2) at 7 p.m. Satur day in Stillwater, Okla.
"It's better to establish the rapport with your teammates so they know how its going to be that week in the game," Farmer said.
