HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aug. 27): The rest of this year is looking up. September is a good month to shop for a new home. Begin thinking about the future in October. Live life to the fullest in November, and visit family in December.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is an 8.
Pay attention this morning, there could be a quiz.
You'll do fine if you rely on your experience. If you're tired tonight, you'll relax best in the security of an old-fashioned ritual.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Pay back a debt you owe your best friend, if you ever want to get another favor from that source. You can solve a problem.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8.
You will probably want to spend more than you can afford this morning. Resist the temptation; you may need the money for something more important.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
If you are planning ahead, schedule your major tasks for this afternoon. You will probably work far into the night. Don't take a friendly flirt too seriously.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Make your phone calls early; people will be too busy to talk later. If you need to look up information, do that early, too.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
A group discount may not be as good as it seems.
Hold on to your money for a while; a better deal may show up.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
Avoid keeping a secret. It will end up casting you more than it's worth. Tell the truth to your partner, your boss or both.
Taurus [April 20-May 20] — Today is a 6.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
Don’t even discuss anything serious until the afternoon. Other people might be willing to gamble in the morning, but you should not. Only go for a sure thing.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
Watch where you put your purse or wallet. Do not
spend more than you can afford on your credit cards,
either.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
A disagreement will be more annoying this morning than tonight. That is because tonight you will be winning. Shopping can be complicated during the day
Leo July 23-Aug. 22 — Today is a 7.
You could learn something interesting today from a beautiful person. If you see one, follow him or her and ask questions. This could develop into a nice friendship, at least.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
Business and romance both should go well today,
especially if you are working with the one you love.
Be careful about spending money. Don't go for fluff
OVERLAND PARK Kansas State running back Frank Murphy must sit out the first four games of the 1990 season as a penalty for accepting money from boosters to buy a car, university officials said yesterday.
After hearing K-State's appeal Tuesday on Murphy's eligibility, the NCAA Division I Subcommittee on Student-Athlete Reinstation ruled that Murphy's eligibility would be reinstated following the suspension.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
K-State football player benched for taking gift
The university had sought a two-game suspension.
"The penalty was based on cases similar to this one," said Wallace Renfro, NCAA representative. "It was the appropriate restitution given the circumstances."
The problem arose after Murphy signed with the Wildcats from Garden City Community College last spring and a K-State booster was accused of helping furnish him with a car.
VENT: horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
University officials had declared Murphy ineligible after they discovered the situation and reported it to the NCAA. They contend that Murphy received the money from a friend and did not know that it had been collected from other people, including K-State boosters.
"I have come to understand that I made a serious error in judgment by accepting what is considered an unauthorized benefit," Murphy said in a statement released yesterday.
The university had required Murphy to return the car and to make a donation to a charity equal to the amount of money he had received.
The people who helped Murphy buy the car have been barred from further involvement with K-State athletics, officials said.
Also Tuesday, the school received a NCAA inquiry confirming the university's finding that no staff members were involved.
K-State will have the opportunity to respond in writing, Renfo said. The committee then will decide what penalty, if any, to impose on K-State.
Suspension leaves 49ers player's future uncertain
The Associated Press
The San Francisco 49ers suspended tackle Jamie Brown for three weeks, leaving his future with the team in doubt.
Brown had been limited by injuries and he had not practiced since July 25. Yesterday, he was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.
Brown, who missed an exhibition game earlier in the preseason, didn't arrive for Sunday's exhibition game against Miami until 30 minutes after kickoff. He said he was stuck in traffic.
The suspension will cost Brown, who has been bothered by a strained hamstring and an abdominal pull, about $30,000.
Brown's agent, Gene Burrough, said he hoped his client is able to return to the 49ers.
Chiefs
Coach Marty Schottenheimer said Kansas City would not sign Lawrence Phillips, one day after he disclosed he had met with the troubled running back who has been released by the Rams and Dolphins in his short NFL career.
"We made a decision we're going to go in another direction," Schottenheimer said. "We evaluated the information available to us both through research as well as personal interviews."
The Chiefs released Billy Joe Tolliver, who apparently lost out to second-year man Pat Barnes in the battle to be No. 3 quarterback behind Elvis Grbac and Rich Gannon.
Bill Bates, one of the NFL's most revered special teams players, will
Cowboys
not play for Dallas this season.
The Cowboys decided not to activate the 15-year veteran.
"Nobody wanted this to be a token year for Bill. This was in the best interest of the team," owner Jerry Jones said.
Jaguars
Steve Matthews, who led Jacksonville to a team-record 40 points in his only NFL start, was one of 18 players waived. The team also put on injured reserve defensive tackle Don Davey, who has not fully recovered from arthroscopic surgery.
Packers
Green Bay released quarterback David Klingler, in his seventh season, offensive guard Doug Widell and defense end Paul Frase, both in their 10th seasons, and wide receiver Lee DaRamus, a third-year pro.
The Packers also placed offensive tackle John Michels and defensive tackle Dexter Nottage on injured reserve. Both have knee problems.
Dolphins
Miami made tackle Tim Bowens the highest-paid member of the team when he signed a contract that averages $5 million a year through 2002. However, the agreement, which includes a $4 million signing bonus, isn't guaranteed. If Bowens fails to become a Pro Bowl selection, Miami could release him before he collects on the most lucrative part of the contract.
Ronald Moore, a fourth-round draft pick in 1993, was one of 13 players waived. Moore ran for 1,018 yards and a franchise rookie-record nine touchdowns his first year and led the Cardinals in rushing the next year with 780 yards.
Cardinals
Steelers
Fullback Tim Lester, who has blocked for Jerome Bettis in both St. Louis and Pittsburgh, was placed on the physically unable to perform list. He continues to recover from shoulder surgery last spring. Until Lester is ready, which
at the earliest would be six weeks, former Penn State fullback Jon Witman will start alongside Bettis.
CHICAGO — Citing safety concerns, a national chain of nutrition-supplement centers ordered its 3,700 stores not to sell the muscle-enhancing pills that Mark McGwire uses, the Chicago Tribune reported yesterday.
After review, GNC pulls pills used by McGwire
In a memo obtained by the newspaper, General Nutrition Centers said its own review of scientific literature concluded that the use of androstemione without risk of adverse events couldn't be demonstrated."
"The decision was made on the lack of suitable short and long-term research demonstrating the safety of the product at various intake levels and concern about the potential impact of product abuse," the Chicago Tribune reported.
Other chains, however, do not share General Nutrition Centers' concerns. Great Earth Vitamin stores, a chain of 138 franchises in 23 states, sell it over-the-counter and by mail order.
McGwire confirmed last week that he has been using the testosterone-producing pill for more than a year.
Use of androstenedione supplements is legal in baseball but banned in the NFL, the Olympics and the NCAA.
Androstenedione is an adrenal hormone produced naturally in men and women. It is converted in the liver to testosterone, which is used in muscle production.
Though no definitive studies have shown any harmful side effects, skeptics said the supplements potentially could have dangerous side effects similar to those of other steroids, such as liver damage and cardiovascular problems.

Sosa draws closer to home run record
Sosa hit an arching solo homer off the top of an advertising panel in the third deck in left-center field of the Cubs game against the Cincinnati Reds. The drive was estimated at 438 feet.
CINCINNATI — Chicago's Sammy Sosa hit his 2nd homer today, leaving him one behind Mark McGwire as they close in on Rober Maris' single-season record of 61.
The third-inning homer off Brett Tomko — who had struck out Sosa all four times he had faced him — gave Sosa a streak of 13 consecutive series with a homer since a two-game set against Montreal on July 22-23.
It was Sosa's 23rd homer on the road, matching the club's single-season record shared by Hack Wilson (1930), Ernie Banks (1960) and Dave Kingman (1979). His 29 homers at Wrigley Field rank third in club history, trailing Wilson (23 in 1930) and Banks (30 in 1959).
Most of the crowd stood and cheered when Sosa broke his 0-for-career streak against Tomko, a second-year pitcher who has challenged both McGwire and Sosa with fastballs in their limited matchups.
Tomko struck Sosa out in the first inning, throwing a pair of fastballs by him. Sosa took a ball in his second at-bat, then had a huge swing-and-miss that prompted him to back out of the box, shake his head, adjust his batting gloves and clear his mind.
He homered on the next pitch.
