HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 3).
10
Work is a challenge this year. You're learning more than earning, but don't complain. You're gaining valuable confidence. December won't go as planned, so stay flexible. Your dreams are most likely to come true in January.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 6.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Todav is a 5.
Something you've been thinking about replacing could be fixed instead. You don't know how, but a friend does. If you need to pay this person, it might be worth the money, but a trade also is possible. It looks like you have something else this other person needs, too.
Don't be dismayed if you run into an obstacle today. Life is full of obstacles, but they're only there to make us stronger. You might as well look at it like that. They're made to be dissolved, climbed over, crawled around or somehow managed.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 5.
A foreigner may have just the answer you're looking for — regarding your home or someone you live with, or a different way of looking at the situation there. Let people know what's going on with you. How else can they give you their sage advice?
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
There's no shortage of money out there. All you have to do is find a need and fill it. You're good at that, too. Did you know that Cancer is the sign of the multi-millionaire? It's not just because you're good at taking care of other people.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
July 29-August 27, 2021 Today is a day.
A partner is giving you a shove in the right direction. This person has more of an analytical mind than you do and is the one to help you plan your next move. Today, it looks like he or she has some very good advice and some confrontational but supportive coaching, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22); Today is a 6.
You have a greater sense of your own destiny, which is good, but the work is getting more difficult. You may not have time to meet with your friends today, but stay in touch. You need their encouragement and support. That's especially true of an older person who lives far away.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
The dream you had last night could come true. It was probably a nice one, so don't worry if you can't remember it. You might run into a problem early in the day, but don't let that get you down. A surprising romantic development later makes everything else seem insignificant.
There's a situation to deal with at home. Something may be breaking down, or somebody wants to spend hours in seemingly meaningless conversation. The problem is that both you and the other person are set in your ways. If you can't reach a compromise, a stalemate might have to do.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
Education is what you need in order to take the next step, you're in luck. This is an excellent day to start a new study program. It doesn't matter whether you go to school or pick up a book at the library. The point is that you are willing to take on something that once looked too difficult to tackle.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
Looks like you have bills to pay. While you're at it, throw in something just for fun. How about a down payment on a cruise? Even if you have to wait before you can go, start planning now. It's the carrot dangling at the end of the stick that's keeping you motivated. Make it a big, fat, juicy one!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
You need to follow through on something you've already begun. That could be paying off a debt. Looks like you're still negotiating something that will improve the quality of life at home, so don't worry about it. It's a tough decision and there are lots of variables.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
What you're learning now is pretty technical in nature. You might even have to read the manual to find out what's going on. This is not your favorite thing to do, but don't despair. It might go slower, but the more you can manage to grasp now, the easier your life will be in the future.
Globetrotting beneficial for Pride
University of Kansas women's basketball junior Lynn Pride has arrived and has done so in more than one way.

Literally, Pride just returned from a 20-day trip to China and Taiwan as a member of the USA Women's Basketball Jones Cup team.
"Lynn is one of the top players in the country," Washington said. "When you have players like Lynn Pride, you want to make sure they're exposed to a certain level of competition.
Figuratively, Pride also has arrived, said Kansas coach Marian Washington.
*orner to perform as she did this summer, it reinforces that she can compete with anyone.*
But even though Pride, 19, is a Kodak All-American candidate, Washington says Pride sometimes lacks the confidence
of other top players.
If Pride needs a reason to believe in herself, she can look at what she did in the last few weeks.
On a team that included University of Tennessee players Semeka Randall and Tamika Catchings, Pride was the team's leading rebounder (7 rpg), ranked second in minutes played (26.0 mpg), first in steals (2.2 spg) and third in points (9.0 ppe).
She was the team's leading rebounder in three of its five Jones Cup games, including a team-leading 15-point, 16-rebound performance in the opener against Chinese Taipei.
"That's something I'm working on — becoming more of a leader," she said. "A lot of the girls on the team, this was their first year with USA Basketball. But I've been through it twice
Pride's play fits with her assumed role as one of the team's leaders.
before, so I knew what to expect, on and off the court."
Pride is slow to brag, but said her experience this summer was important to her game.
"Mentally, it helps me a lot," she said. "I got a lot out of it. Now, I know I am capable of competing with anybody."
The team first went to Beijing, China for practice games against the China National Team and Junior National Team. USA lost both games but finished 5-0 in its Jones Cup games, played in Taipei, Taiwan.
"Our confidence was down a little bit after those two losses," Pride said. "But after the first game in Taiwan, we got that back and played like we were capable."
Pride took care of her classes while she was gone.
"I talked to my professors before I left," she said. "That made it a little easier, they sent some books over."

If Big Mack hits 60, he'll score airtime

ing Sosa's games on Sept. 11 and Sept. 12 if he has 60 homers.
"My head is about to explode as I think about all the scenarios," Goren said. "We will pull the trigger when they get to 60. But if one of them hits five home runs in the next four days, everything is out the window."
If McGwire hits them out
as quickly as he did Tuesday, that just might happen. Fox could reach an agreement with its cable partners to move an earlier game to the network if McGwire gets to 60 earlier than Sept.11.
that it is available in about half as many homes as ESPN.
ESPN had offered to tele-
vise Tuesday night's game at
Busch Stadium. But baseball
officials opted to put the
game on FX, despite the fact
"We are obviously disappointed with baseball's decision," ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys said.
Baseball's dispute with ESPN about the placement of Sunday night games in September might have played a role in the decision to put the game on FX. ESPN tried to move the last three Sunday night games of the season to
ESPN2 to accommodate its new $4.8 billion deal with the NFL.
Baseball balked at the move and gave the games back to the teams to sell locally. Both sides have threatened to sue for breach of contract.
But baseball officials say they made the decision because they moved the Sept. 12 Cardinals-Astros games from FX to Fox and owed FX an additional
game.
FX has offered cable operators that do not carry the network a free one-night preview with no strings attached. It is uncertain how many operators will pick up the game.
"There is always a concern about the number of homes, but given the contractual obligations, we considered this the right thing to do," baseball spokesman Rich Levin said.
Former KU player wins award,honors from NCAA,state
Maria Abatoglou, a former University of Kansas women's tennis player, was named the Kansas Woman of the Year by the NCAA yesterday.
Abatogluou, who completed her athletic eligibility at Kansas last spring, received the award for her athletic and academic accomplishments. She was named to the GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-American first team the past two seasons and was named to the Phillips 66 Academic All-Big 12 and All-Big 8 teams three times — 1986,1997 and 1988— in her college career
Abatjoglou earned a 9-5 singles record and an 11-5 doubles record during her senior season. Abatjoglou also was a member of the 1988 tennis team that won the 1998 NCAA Central Region Championship last spring.
"This honor is a true testament to her commitment to athletics and academics," head coach Jenny Garrity said. "I think it's probably one of the biggest honors she has received because it awards her for hard work in both efforts."
The 51 state winners (including the District of Columbia) were chosen from more than 400 nominations.
Ten finalists will be announced later this month, and the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics will select the NCAA Woman of the Year from among the finalists. The winner will be announced at an awards dinner October 18 in Indianapolis. Kansan staff report
