HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 25).
There's not quite as much as you'd hoped there would be, perhaps not as much as they said. Learning to get by on less is the trick. Master it, and you'll have more.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. Turn down an invitation to play. Your work is more important now. Don't worry that friends won't understand. If they're really worth keeping, they will.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. Your conflict with authority isn't verbal. You're more the silent resistant type who causes slowdowns and delays. Those tactics could produce the desired result.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7. It's not a good time to launch a project. Wait until Friday for that. It's a better time for building a foundation for that project.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. Stick with the familiar and resist change. It's not a good day to take risks. Go with the same old, same old. There'll be plenty of change later on.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Continue to view things with suspicion.
A crazy idea is just that — crazy. Don't gamble away your money or pull crazy stunts. Stunts aren't likely to go as rehearsed.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7. You may be planning a getaway, but you probably won't get far now. Things nearby will keep you occupied. Provide service quickly.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 7.
Even though you're excellent with words, silence might work better now.
Somebody important doesn't want to hear any more of your stories, just facts.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7. If you and your partner can't agree, postpone the decision. There may be another alternative that neither of you has proposed.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Get all the figures to line up. And allow
some extra time for mechanical malfunctions.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7. It's almost impossible to convince anybody to do anything. Save your breath your money and your energy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
You may have been laboring under a misconception. Something that you thought was one way could turn out to be very different. Get nosy and find out before making a commitment.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
It may be necessary to dig into savings for something you want for your home.
Just make sure that you get something of the highest possible quality. Better invest in the longer warranty, too.
Alleged Royals attacker to face more time in jail
CHICAGO — The teenager who ran on the field with his father during a game and attacked Kansas City Royals coach Tom Gamboa will spend at least two more weeks in custody.
The AssociatedPress
The 15-year-old boy's lawyer was granted a request Tuesday for more time to gather evidence. A trial date has not been set.
The teenager is charged with aggravated battery, a felony.
If he is convicted, the boy's son
tence could range from probation to five years in a youth detention center, Assistant State's Attorney Catherine Gregorovic said.
After Tuesday's brief hearing, Assistant Public Defender Christopher Swanson would not say why he didn't ask the judge to release his client from a juvenile facility. The boy's mother refused to comment.
At Swanson's request, the judge ordered a television station to save its tape of Thursday's game between the Royals and White Sox at Comiskey Park. The
lawyer said he would subpoena the tape.
During the ninth inning, Gamboa, 54, was coaching at first base and facing the field, when two shirtless men rushed him from behind. They knocked him to the ground, where they punched and kicked him.
On Saturday, the teenager's father — 34-year-old William Ligue Jr. — was held on $200,000 bail. Ligue faces the same felony charge as his son and could be sentenced to up to five years in prison if convicted.
Victories bolster Big 12 North
Knight-Ridder Tribune
DALLAS—Don't pencil in the Big 12 South winner for the Fiesta Bowl just yet. After Saturday's games, it appears the Big 12 North will rise again.
Waving the flag for the North is Kansas State, which held on for a 27-20 victory over No.11 Southern California on Saturday. Also pumping up northern spirits was Colorado's 51-17 victory over No. 20 UCLA.
Both USC and UCLA produce tons of NFL talent every year but usually find a way to fall short. Still, victories by Kansas State and Colorado represent the Big 12's only victories over Top 25 opposition this season. That
makes the Big 12 an underwhelming 2-6 against teams ranked in either Top 25 poll.
Iowa State further bolstered the North's confidence against Troy State, 42-12.
Go ahead and snicker at Kansas' loss to Bowling Green, which should be faxing its application for Big 12 membership any minute now. Judging the strength of the North by Kansas is as unfair as judging the South by Baylor.
Just a week ago, there was some doubt that the North could send a worthy representative to Houston for the Big 12 championship. Nebraska was humbled by Penn
The North's image was probably helped because Nebraska was off, too.
State and Colorado and was pathetic against USC.
The K-State offense took off after starter Marc Dunn was pulled in favor of Ell Roberson in the second quarter. Roberson provided a spark with his playmaking ability.
Although Kansas State nearly blew a 21-point lead, it's still an impressive victory in a season that has had few from the Big 12. The Wildcats nearly lost the game after five fumbles, but they may have found their quarterback.
Roberson was 10-of-15 passing for 134 yards, and he ran for another 70 yards. He scored touchdowns running and throwing against a USC team ranked No.1 in total defense.

Wichita State rethinks logo
Log on to www.kansan.com to cast your vote
WICHITA — Bowing to unfavorable public reaction, Wichita State University is dropping a new logo unveiled last week and going back to the drawing board.
"After reviewing the feedback from those outside our process, I feel it is in the best interest of the athletic department to go a different direction," athletics director Jim Schaus announced Monday.
The school paid New York-based Phoenix Design Works $17,000 for the logo, which featured bolder, more stylized stalks of wheat. The name of the university was in the middle of a shield, with the Shockers nickname below it.
回
Schaus wanted something that gave the university better brand-name identification, featuring consistent use of colors and typefaces, something quickly distinguishing it from other schools such as Washington State, Weber State, Wright State and Wayne State.
"We still desire to promote Wichita State Shockers in a logo and wish to pursue this approach further," Schaus said.

Hey, financial aid is sweet. Even if it's not until the end of September until you get it. And hey, quit bashing KU football, alright? 'Cause they're gonna win on Saturday. Hahahahahahahaha.
Yeah, whoever called in and was dissing Nick Collison, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
Yeah, here's four words that make a very pleasant thought: Mangino on a bike. Later.
I saw Kirk Hinrich's car getting towed, and baby. I'm sorry. And to all you ladies out there, you better step off, 'cause he's my husband.

Adam Sworps says the Bears are the worst team in the NFL and Ditka takes it up the rear. And my friend Brett says, uh, he agrees that the Bears are the worst team in the NFL.

A 34-year-old buffoon and his 15-year-old idiot son just attacked the Royals' first base coach. If that's not free advertising against teenage sex, then what is?

Kudos to Neddy Perez for getting his first clutch-hit of the season. Too bad it was on a shirtless inbred rather than on a White Sox pitcher.
Just wanna keep the fans in the stands. Don't blow the game three minutes before half time.
BASKETBALL
Kidd wants to stick with Nets
NEW YORK — New Jersey Nets point guard Jason Kidd, runner-up in the MVP voting last season, wants to remain with the team for the rest of his career.
Kidd will be a free agent after next season and cannot sign a contract until then. He said Tuesday that the Nets remain his No. 1 choice.
Kidd joined New Jersey from the Phoenix Suns in a trade before last season and led the Nets to their first Eastern Conference championship. New Jersey lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. He averaged 14.7 points, 9.9 assists and 7.3 rebounds.
He spoke at a luncheon announcing him as the winner of the Thurman Munson Award, which is presented by The Association for the Help of Retarded Children and honors the memory of the New York Yankees catcher who died in an airplane crash in 1979.
