HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 20)
Today's birthday (Sept. 20).
You're right in the epicenter this year. Are you part of the solution or part of the problem? You won't stop till you've dug out the truth. And for that, you'll forever be proud.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 5. This is not a good day to travel. Ponder possibilities from your easy chair instead. Conditions are in a state of flux. Wait, watch and listen.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 9. There's confusion and trouble out there, but you can always find a way around it. Others worry, you don't. Why bother worrying? Plow through.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5. Isn't anything turning out as expected? Probably not. Could it be turning out more like you hoped or prayed for? Quite possibly. Keep it up.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 9. Concentrate on what you want to happen. Believe that you can make a difference, because you can. A problem you're worried about won't materialize.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6. The truth is being revealed, possibly the truth about your investments. If you bought into a bogus deal, the truth could hurt.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7. There are a few things you've been wanting to change, some corrections you'd like to make. This could be your big chance. Move quickly.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 6.
Save your brilliant suggestions for this weekend. They'll be warmly received by your friends. Meanwhile, get an icky job done. No complaining.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8. You're still a calming influence to those whose lives have been disrupted. Continue to give them love and support. They'll be forever grateful.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5. Things will never be the same, partially because of you. The pretenses are being stripped away. The truth is being revealed. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is an 8. You can come up with answers the others seek. You're making up some of them as you go along, but they work. You're amazing under pressure.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5. Have you been paying too much? Don't beat yourself up. Just make the correction. If you reassess your expenses, you'll end up with more in the bank.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Don't let others push you around, even if they have clout. The best thing for them is not always the best thing for you.
Ex-Cowboy,runner dies
The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Bob Hayes, an Olympic gold-medal spinner who went on to an outstanding career as a receiver with the Dallas Cowboys, died at 59.
Cowboys, died at 59.
The fastest runner of his generation, Hayes died late Wednesday in his hometown of Jacksonville, where he had battled liver and kidney ailments and prostate cancer. Shands Hospital spokeswoman Joanna Norris said Hayes died at 11:15 p.m.
He had a sparkling athletic career — he earned the title "World's Fastest Human," and later redefined the way the NFL plays defense — but many of his accomplishments were later tainted by drug and alcohol addiction that landed him in jail and played a big part in his never being enshrined into the NHL Hall of Fame.
At the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, Hayes won the gold medal in the 100 meters, tying the then-world record of 10.05 seconds, and anchored the United States 400-meter relay team to victory in a worldrecord 39.06.

Hayes' relay split was a sensational 8.6. Nearly 20
most astonishing sprint of all time. The following year, the Cowboys drafted him in the seventh round, taking a chance on the former Florida A&M star with blazing speed but unrefined football skills.
years later, The Los Angeles Times called it "the most astonishing sprint of all time."

In his rookie season with the Cowboys, Hayes had 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns while leading the NFL with an average of 21.8 yards per catch.
That showed his big-play ability, and Hayes' world-class speed forced defenses — unable to cover him with traditional man-to-man schemes — to come up with many of the zone defenses that are common in today's game.
common in today's game. When Dallas won the Super Bowl after the 1971 season, Hayes became the only athlete to win an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring. More than 30 years later, he's still the only person with both.
His success came long before the era when athletes like Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson and Michael Jordan got much credit for simply trying to succeed at two sports. Hayes won championships in both track and football.
Game sparks Wildcat fans
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — Kansas State's players usually don't let their giddiness show too much.
But as fan buzz increases and the lofty implications of a win continue to be hyped, purple supporters are finding it impossible not to be excited about No. 25 Kansas State's tomorrow's game against No.11 Southern California.
Even their straight-faced coach can't help but admit there's more exuberance than usual.

Aside from Southern California's high ranking there are plenty of reasons for heightened fan interest. For starters, only one of Kansas State's first three games was against a Division I-A opponent, Louisiana-Monroe.
frequently talked about "This is the first game that really matters." Etter said. "People were talking about this game before the season started."
Kansas State, which has received plenty of criticism for scheduling lesser opponents, hasn't played a ranked nonconference opponent in the regular season since Sept. 28, 1991, when the Wildcats lost 56-3 to No.4 Washington. The Wildcats haven't played a ranked nonconference foe at home since No.17 Iowa won 45-10 in 1988.

I'm still wondering why that cop was video taping us during the football game Saturday.

You want people to come to the football games? I have an idea for you. After every touchdown, Mangino does the truffle-shuffle. Seats will be packed.

Alright, I just saw Kirk Hinrich on campus. And luckily, since nobody really knows who he is, he was wearing his basketball sweats. So I'm glad that I know that he's a basketball player.
Yeah, we were wondering if we could scrap KU football and just make it the new soccer field. Yeah, when does KU basketball start? Hmmm.

Yeah, obviously Mizzou basketball sucks, as does Mizzou, but I can't believe we're recruiting a guy who's having trouble deciding between KU and MU. I mean, come on.

I just wanted to say Collison's middle name is John. He's not hot, and he walks really slow.

Hey, I'd just like to let you know that in the big picture of all the fans at the KU game, I'm the one in the yellow jacket right in the middle. And I'm looking at myself on the jumbo -tron, too. Thanks a lot.
Has anyone else noticed that John Madden's eyebrows are like a completely different color than the rest of his hair? It's creepy.

I just went on a late night run to Dillon's to get a role of toilet paper, and it reminded me of a good story. Mizzou sucks.

You know you can get away with anything when you egg someone's car over the summer and don't get caught. By the way, Mr. Hinrich, how is the paint job doing?
Why are guys intimidated by girls like myself who enjoy and understand pro football?
Hey, Kirk Hinrich. Reality check. You're white and from Iowa.

BASKETBALL NBA player's disappearance prompts murder investigation
PAPEETE, Tahiti — Divers searched the waters off an island near Tahiti for clues to the disappearance of former NBA player Bison Dele and other people.
The divers were looking in a lagoon on the north coast of Moorea, where Dele and his girlfriend, Serena Karlan, spent time before they disappeared July 8. Bertrand Saldo, the French captain of Dele's 55-foot catamaran, also is missing, and police have opened a murder investigation.
The abandoned sailboat was found at the port of Taravao on the French Polynesian island of Tahiti on Sept. 12. A day later, the FBI issued an arrest warrant for Dele's older brother, Miles Dabord, who was traveling with Dele and Karlan before the couple disappeared.
The Los Angeles Times has reported that the murder inquiry was prompted by statements Dabord's girlfriend told authorities in California. Erica Weise said to the sheriff's department in Sonoma County and the San Francisco FBI that Dabord had told her a struggle on board left his three companions dead, the Times reported, citing an unnamed French Polynesian police official,retire if Russia wins.
