HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 2).
Your work might seem like a burden in December, but by spring it will be much easier. You will have a new partner by then, especially if you start working on it right now. The person you owe a letter to is a good place to start.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7.
Think about how you can increase your income, whether you have money or not. The best things in life are still free. You might decide to further your education rather than take a higher-paying job right now. Make sure the direction you are headed towards your goals.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 5.
You are pondering a decision concerning money. This might involve going into debt, something you would rather not do. If it is the only way to get what you want make your move carefully. A wise investment would be to buy the property you are already in.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 7.
Your luck is improving today. There is competition, which always brings out your best talents. You will be excellent today in the debate, even though you may not win. You are going to put up a great fight, and the others will admire you for your incredible wit.
Cancer (June 22-July 22); Today is a 5.
There is a lot of confusion today. There could also be somebody telling you to move faster. You like to call the shots, but you do it in such a gentle way, other people might not realize how powerful you are. Today you may have to speak up. If you do not, you will not get a moment's peace.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 7.
July 23-25, 2017. Today is
A gathering with friends or associates should turn out well. You will discover interesting new ways to accomplish your goals. You are creative by yourself, but with a group, you are awesome. Use this opportunity to share your ideas, even if they are not fully developed.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
You could get a raise, a check in the mail or even an offer of more work. Some sort of hefty increase in your income appears to be pending. If you see an opportunity, gather it up and carry on it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 7.
There is a conflict between education and finances again today. You have to spend time taking instruction before you can access the big bucks. You might have to do something that pays less so you can pay your bills. Study the new material while plying your old trade.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5. You and someone you love to argue with are still having an interesting discussion. You are about to arrive at a solution to your problem, but there may be another hassle or two before the solution can be implemented. Do not let it get you stressed out.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
The workload intensifies today, but eases as you involve other people. One person in particular can help with a tedious project. It is a good partnership. You two will be more productive together than either one of you is alone.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
Looks like you and your best friend, sweetheart or some other dearly beloved are going to be in close proximity again today. You can not spend all your time together, but you can work as much as possible into your schedule. Make it the highest quality you can.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 7.
You and your sweetheart would like to stay home today. If you can take some vacation days, do that.
Your mind is not on your work, that is for sure. It is on romance, and someone you want to get to know better. Fit as much of that into your schedule as possible.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Todav is a 5.
Pictures (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
Education is again the theme, and it is up to you to make it happen. Do not postpone this. Seize the day and the opportunity, and enroll yourself in a class, even if you do it in the privacy of your own home.
That is where you will most likely want to be tonight.
Set it up so you can study there.
Eight football players earn academic honors
Linebacker Tim Bowers, Columbus, Ohio, sophomore; defensive back Greg Erb, Lawrence junior; wide receiver Charlie Hoag, Overland Park freshman; center Jason Stevenson, Kileen, Texas freshman; and defensive back Brandon Wier, Olathe freshman, were named to the first team.
Eight Kansas football players were named to the 1998 Academic All-Black 12 Conference football teams yesterday.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Bowers, Erb and Bratten were previously named to the team.
Linebacker Steve Bratten, Arvada, Colo., senior; offensive guard Justin Glasgow, Topeka senior, and wide receiver Harrison Hill, Wichita freshman, were named to the second team.
Members of the teams have at least a 3.0 grade point average for the previous two semesters and have won a letter for their respective team.

Missouri might play West Virginia in bowl
ST. LOUIS — Missouri's bowl game could also be a homecoming for coach Larry Smith.
Barring a Texas A&M upset of Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game Saturday, the 24th-ankered Tigers are headed for the Insight.com Bowl Dec. 26 in Tucson.
Ariz. Smith was 48-28-3 at Arizona from 1980-86 and gave the school six consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 1923.
"They're obviously our first choice unless something weird happens," Insight.com representative Pete Tees said yesterday.
Besides the Smith connection, Mis-
Missouri (7-4) would play West Virginia (8-3), which is playing in its 12th bowl game under coach Don Nehlen. West Virginia appeared headed for the Gator Bowl before Notre Dame lost to Southern California last week and fell out of Bowl Championship Series contention.
soull assistants Ricky Hunley and Moe Ankney have Arizona ties. Hunley, the Tigers' associate head coach, was a star linebacker at Arizona and Ankney coached there under Smith.
The Insight.com has the fourth choice of Big 12 teams after the BCS, one spot ahead of the Independence; which also covets Missouri.
Bowl bids will be made official on Sunday. Missouri has scheduled a news conference for that afternoon.
Should Texas &M win Saturday, the Aggies would get the conference's spot in the BCS. If Kansas State still is in the eight team BCS picture, Missouri could move up one spot and land in the Alamo Bowl Dec. 29 in San Antonio.
Arena allows smoking only at sports events
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — What's Saturday night at the fights without a cigar?
The operators of the Atlantic City Convention Center, a no-smoking building, will not enforce the ban when the building holds its first boxing match this weekend.
The exemption will apply only to sports events at the $268 million center, which opened in mid-1997. Conventioneers and others who rent the building or attend events there won't be allowed to light up, according to Gregg Caren, assistant general manager.
"When it comes to sporting events, smoking is permitted," he said. "If it was a meeting or a conference, we'd operate it as (a no-smoking building)."
But at a boxing match, anyone knows going in that they're expecting smoke."
The center is operated by the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority, just as the Convention Hall, which is the site of most major fights in Atlantic City. Convention Hall is a no-smoking building as well, but the ban is not enforced at sports events.
Promoter Don King, who is promoting the WBA world bantamweight championship fight between Nana Konadu and Johnny Tapia, said the issue never came up during negotiations for the fight, which is expected to attract up to 6,000 people.
"Do like I do," he said. "Use 'em for a prop. Put 'em in your mouth and don't light 'em, like I do."
it's healthier to skip the cigars, anyway. King said yesterday.
TORONTO—Vancouver and the nearby ski resort of Whistler were chosen yesterday to represent Canada in a bid for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The Vancouver-Whistler beat enter out Quebec City and Calgary, Alberta, host of the 1988 Winter Games.
Canada makes choices in Winter Olympics bid
The decision was announced today although the 72 delegates actually voted Nov. 21.
The Canadian Olympic Association wanted to wait until a day after Monday's provincial election in Quebec. There was unspoken concern that rejection of Quebec City's bid might trigger a backlash among voters choosing between separatist and anti-separatist parties.
The International Olympic Committee will choose the 2010 host city in 2003.
Olympian clear to swim despite drug suspension
PHOENIX — Olympic gold medalist Gary Hall was cleared today to swim in an international meet despite a marijuana-related suspension scheduled to run until Dec. 12.
U. S. District Judge Roger Strand, who issued a temporary restraining order Monday allowing Hail to compete, stuck by his earlier ruling.
FINA, swimming's world governing body, contended Hall's appeal should be dismissed and the rest of his suspension upheld. The organization said the court should have no jurisdiction in the case.
FINA secretary Gunnar Werner said the federation would not appeal.
"We can do nothing more other than obey the order," he said yesterday.
"This decision is only valid in the United States," he added. "Hall is still suspended in the rest of the world."
Hall's appeal against FINA's three-month suspension still has to be heard in full by the Court of Arbitration of Sport in Switzerland.
"Our position is that FINA rules are prevailing in a case like this," Werner said. "Our position is the court in the U.S. is not competent."
Werner said an appeal would take too long. He added that the case underscores the ongoing battle between international sports federations and the courts.
"Our position is that FINA rules should prevail all around the world," he said. "But what can we do if a national court makes a ruling? We can only fight for our position."
Hall, who lives in Phoenix, won gold medals as part of the U.S. 400-meter freestyle and 400 medley relay teams in the 1996 Atlanta Games. He also won silver medals in the 50 and 100 freestyle.

Assault charge shelved for boxer Riddick Bowe
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. — Former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe, who is awaiting a probable jail sentence in North Carolina for kidnapping his estranged wife and five children in June, had an earlier assault charge involving his wife set aside Monday.
Judge Hovey Johnson shelved the second-degree assault charge from August 1997 in the conditions that Bowe have no violent conduct with his wife and that he complete a 10-day psychiatric evaluation and any accompanying treatments.
The state withheld the right to return the case to the active docket any time within the next 12 months.
Other than a brief acknowledgment that he understood the agreement, Bowe said nothing during his court appearance and refused comment as he left the courtroom. His wife, who watched the proceeding from the gallery, and Bowe's attorney, Billy Martin, also declined comment.
In June, Bowe pleaded guilty to abducting his wife and children from their home in Corneilus, N.C. He attempted to drive them to his home in Fort Washington, Md., but his wife managed to phone for help during a stop in Virginia.
Prosecutors said Bowe would serve 18 to 24 months in prison under his plea agreement in the kidnapping case, but he has yet to be sentenced.
A sentencing date has not been scheduled for Bowe in the North Carolina case, a representative for the U.S. Attorney's office in Charlotte said yesterday.
