HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 11).
The more you take on, the greater your chances of messing up or falling short. So should you hold back? Of course not! Failure is just one more step toward success.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 5. What you really need is a plan, a way to make everything fit. It won't, but you'll minimize scurry if you just work on it a bit.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. It's still slow going in every area but love. Your admiration grows as you and your partner build a solid foundation. The problems you face help you become stronger.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. Obligations once again interfere with your fun and games. True, you hardly get any time to play. But don't put this off. It won't get easier later.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
You're about to come up with a brilliant idea that opens a lot of new doors. Don't be stopped by old fears. Keep reading those books. What you're seeking is hidden in there.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8. You can concentrate wonderfully, but maybe not on the task you've been assigned. Hopefully your routine will serve you well.
Leo (Julv 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5.
By tomorrow you'll have a better chance of pushing through your agenda. You'll fare even better if you think of a way to cut proposed costs.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22.) Today is a 6.
The money is coming in, but perhaps at the expense of your private life. Too much work and not enough fun? This won't last forever. Gather it up.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8. Stick to your position and get a few of your friends to back you. Your solidarity will make potential detractors quake in their boots. You win again!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Easy does it. Proceed with caution and
don't take anything for granted. Assume
that whatever can break probably will.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
Is a loved one trying to manage your life
by telling you what to do? Accept the
advice that works for you. Ignore advice
that conflicts with your dreams.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8. The plan doesn't logically fit together yet. Don't worry about it. Logic is nice to have but not required. Persistence counts for more.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5. You're up against a stubborn adversary, but he or she may have met their match. You can be pretty darned illusive when you want to be. Especially now.
Royals fall to White Sox 12-4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeff Liefer hit his first career grand slam, and Paul Konerko drove in three runs to reach 100 RBIs as the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 12-4 last night.
The Associated Press
The Royals tied a club record with their eighth straight loss at home.
Carlos Lee also drove in three runs for the White Sox. Liefer hit a 1-0 pitch from Jeremy Affeldt in the ninth. Konerko added an RBI double, giving him a career-best 100 RBIs.
Lee, who has reached base in 12 straight games, had a sacrifice fly in a three-run first inning and a two-run triple in the four-run seventh.
AL batting leader Mike Sweeney had three RBIs for the Royals, who have also dropped eight straight overall.
The Royals have lost eight home games in a row three times, most recently in 1991. While losing their last eight overall, the Royals have given up 89 runs.
Sweeney was 2-for-5, raising his average to .341
New York's Bernie Williams is second at .338.
Mike Porzio (2-0) pitched two innings of one-hit relief for the win. Antonio Osuna pitched three innings for his 10th save in 13 opportunities.
The loser was Royals starter Runelys Hernan
dez (3-4), who is 0-3 in his last four starts, Hernandez went 62-3 innings and gave up five runs on eight hits.
Aaron Rowand homered leading off the Chicago seventh. Konerko later singled off reliever Jeremy Hill, and Lee made it 7-4 with a two-run trinkle off Hill.
The first three Chicago batters reached in the first, on singles by Willie Harris and Jose Valentin and Frank Thomas' walk. Konerko had an RBI before Lee's sacrifice fly, then Joe Crede hit an RBI single.
Notes: Royals SS Neifi Perez said he was only joking Monday night when he refused manager Tony Pena's request to go in as a late-inning defensive replacement. Pena refused to discuss it ... The White Sox activated RHP Todd Ritchie from the 15-day DL and said he would be available Wednesday.
Sweeney's RBI single in the fifth tied it 3-all, and Joe Randa's grounder brought in Carlos Beltran to put the Royals up 4-3. It was Beltran's 100th run scored this year.
With two out in the third, Sweeney doubled over the head of center fielder Rowand to make it 3-2.
... Thomas has hit in 10 straight games. ... The Royals' two steals ran their AL-leading total to 125. ... Half of Rowand's six home runs have come against the Royals. ... The White Sox are 36-18 in Kansas City since 1995.
Quarterback out for two games
He has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Southern California and isn't expected to play on Sept. 21 against UCLA.The No.18 Buffaloes then have an open date before playing Kansas State in their Big 12 opener.
The Associated Press
Ochs, a 21-year-old junior, departed at halftime of Saturday night's 34-14 win over San Diego with his third concussion in the past year. He also had a concussion in high school.
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Colorado coach Gary Barnett believes his concussion-plagued quarterback, Craig Ochs, will miss the next two games but be recovered to play on Oct. 5 against Kansas State.
Ochs underwent four hours of neurological examinations on Monday and had further tests on Tuesday.
"I'm encouraged by the first round of tests, encouraged that he's going to be back possibly within two weeks," Barnett said at his regular Tuesday news conference. "That's just going off the results of the first day."
"Craig will definitely be out of this game," Barnett
Senior Robert Hodge, who replaced Ochs in the second half of the San Diego State game, will start against USC.
said. "I think there's a good chance he'll miss the UCLA game, but I think he will be back after that."
Barnett said Ochs was "determined to get back and disappointed that he's hurt. I haven't seen him, but I know he's really frustrated with the injury situation."
Ochs' third concussion since last Sept. 22 led to speculation his playing career might be in jeopardy. Barnett said that decision is left up to the player, his parents and the medical staff, and insisted the coaches have no input.
Willard said if Ochs does return, he probably will switch to a new helmet designed to prevent concussions.
Barnett, however, was skeptical.
"I don't think it's a helmet issue in Craig's case," he said. "The new helmets are for glancing blows. He got hit pretty good."
Ochs tried the new helmet — called the Riddelh Revolution — before the season began but rejected it because it hit his shoulder pads, restricting his head's side-to-side movement.
