HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 17).
Today's lesson (10.7. 17): You're absolutely awesome. You have powers you barely can comprehend. That means you need to be responsible. Start by stashing away your hoard in December. Be generous and thrify at the same time, with imagination, and you've got plenty of that. In January and February, a dream comes true.
Artes (March 21- April 19): Today is a 6. The sun and moon are in Scorpio, but Venus is going into Sagittarius. Scorpio is a dominant sign, preferring things to go exactly as planned. Sagittarius is a free spirit, and with Venus in Sagittarius, freedom will be important in relationships. If a decision or commitment is imminent, make sure it gives you breathing room.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
If things are not going the way you thought you wanted and they haven't been for quite some time, take a look at the situation again. Maybe you're helping maintain something uncomfortable because it's familiar. This happens, and it's likely to be noticeable today.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
The lesson for today is taking care of others, and somebody in your life might come right out and remind you in no uncertain terms. If you've got children with Scorpion in their charts, you'll know it today. They want things just the way they want 'em, and no deviation will be allowed. It's almost not worth arguing about.
Cancer (June 22-July 23); Today is a 7. Your intuition is excellent, especially concerning romance. You should be able to tell for sure whether the person you are with is THE ONE. The only problem: you may want to be independent and resist settling down, even if you've already settled down. Give each other room to breathe.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
There's a pull for you to stay home and take care of personal matters. One of your children may request you do that, or perhaps your sweetheart wants your attention.
Spend as much time at that sort of thing as you can.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
You'll be amazed at how easy it is to learn. One of the best ways you learn is by working with a talented expert.
You ask questions, but you gain the most by watching and working with someone who knows what he or she is doing. Go the extra trouble to make that happen.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Today is a 5.
There's money coming in and tough decisions to be made. You have trouble making decisions, if you're like most Libras. You'll be able to decide easily what needs to be done, especially in financial matters.
Don't worry that you'll spend too much. You're more likely to gain than to lose.
Scarpia (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Today is a 5.
You're looking excellent. You're under stress so that's even more impressive. You may say something you didn't expected to. Be careful. There's a tendency to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but, even to your disadvantage. Avoid a situation where spilling the beans could do damage.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
Something supposed to be done by now is coming due.
You want to comply but don't want to give up freedom.
Is there a conflict between what you want and what someone says you must do? Getting folks on your side is a good idea. Make one of them an attorney.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 7.
You've got travel on your mind and might pull it off.
Start by learning a foreign language. A class would be an interesting environment. You might meet people who would be good connections when you make your trip. Try something new today. It'll work out.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
Your team is red hot and determined to succeed.
With your help, they will. They've got the energy, and you've got the spark to keep them going. They'll talk and plan. You go in there and light the fuse that gets them activated. Watch out for the emotional snailpelt.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
Looks like a strong authority figure has you nailed down. You can't do much except just go along with orders. Try not to complain much. Your friends are going to have more time for you, and they'll understand what you're going through.

DALLAS — Kansas State quarterback Michael Bishop, Texas A&M linebacker Dat Nguyen and Texas
Tech kicker Chris Birkholz have been named the players of the week by the Big 12 Conference. Bishop rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries and completed 19 of 33 passes for 306
Bishop
yards and two touchdowns while leading the Wildcats to their first victory against Nebraska since 1968.
Nguyen had 17 tackles in the Aggies' 17-14 victory against then-No. 13th Missouri. The finalist for both the Butuk and Lombardi Awards had three tackles for losses and one sack.
PHILADELPHIA — The fan-friendly NBA Jam Session — held each year in conjunction with the All-Star Game — is the latest casualty of the lockout.
NBA Jam Session canceled; All-Star game still scheduled
Birkholz tied a school record with four field goals in one game and bounced an onesides kick that the Red Raiders recovered in a 42-35 victory against Texas. His field goals included a personal-best 53-yarder. He also made both his extra point tries.
The Jam Session, the league's interactive fan event scheduled during the
scheduled Feb. 14 for the First Union Center. Russ Granik, NBA deputy commissioner, said the Jam Session required more lead time than any other All-Star event, and that vendors and sponsors could not set up in time for it. "We are determined to
All-Star Game festivities, had been set for the Pennsylvania Convention Center Feb. 11-14. The game still is
have an All-Star Weekend, and we will try to substitute an event for Jam Session that has shorter lead time." Grank said.
The stalled contract negotiations between NBA owners and players associations have led to 97 missed games. If negotiations yielded a settlement immediately, the earliest the season could start is Dec. 15.
