HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aug. 26): Spruce up your wardrobe this year and then concentrate on education. In September, decide who you want to be when you grow up and enter the professional world. Design a new look for yourself in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 6.
You are getting a lot of attention, and you are looking good. Other people are amazed at how much energy you have. You might be getting an award for an athletic endeavor. If you were going to attempt a marathon, this would be a good day to begin your training program.
Taurus (April 20-May 20); Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) today is 11:45 AM.
You are being pushed to get together with friends. It is as if there is something you are trying to do alone, and you are trying to do it the hard way. Getting other people involved will make things easier, and it looks like they need your expertise. They are trying to get the job done, too.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
An early dinner date probably will work best because you and your sweetheart will be in congenial moods and because that is when you will have the most time to enjoy yourselves. You might remember something later that needs to be done by tomorrow.
Cancer June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
Garner care for 22 hours a day.
The moon's going into Scorpio, bringing out your cuddy, romantic side and making you attractive to a person you find attractive. Schedule a date with a person you find fascinating. If the other night can't make it on such short notice tomorrow night's good, but Friday night is even better.
Leo (Julv 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 3.
There is either a problem between you and somebody you live with, or you are having trouble with the house itself. There is a tough decision to be made and you will have to live with it for quite some time. If money is involved, be especially careful.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Today is a 6.
The moon's going into Scorpio, which helps you concentrate and makes learning easier. There are several things that would be helpful to know and one of them is how to fix something at your house. Encourage a partner to develop new skills.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
A friend could pass along a good idea today, so let people know what you are trying to accomplish. Do not expect smooth sailing, however. A roommate or close family member disagrees with what you have in mind.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5. When conditions like these are in effect, people tend to follow strong leaders. You can use your skills to your advantage and think of lots of ways for others to serve you.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
Aaquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 6.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
Be careful what you say today. The moon has gone into Scorpio, the sign of secrets. Sagittarius is the sign of truth. You are in a precarious position; do not tell secrets. The person you tell could be the one who is trying to keep it private.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
The sun is in Virgo, and the moon is in Iubra. Looks like there is a formidable adversary to deal with. This person wants to tell you what to do, and you may have to comply. Consider the consequences of your actions if you resist; you might decide it is not worth the trouble.
You will notice that things get easier as the day goes on. You will have several confrontations during the day, but if you hold your temper, everything should work out. Schedule dinner or a meeting with friends after work.
You may get an opportunity to travel, but it is doubtful you will get to go. It is one of those places where you hear about an offer but you're stuck here with obligations. Not to worry, your path is clearing soon and you'll get to take advantage of some of these opportunities.

-Kansan staff report
FISHERS, Ind. — If all goes well next month, Cuonzo Martin could be back on the basketball court before long.
Former Purdue player fights lymph cancer
The former Purdue star finished 4
1/2 months of chemotherapy in April.
He began shooting the ball in June and
said he already had received offers to
play in Europe but that he wanted one
more checkup next month.
Then, he will consider his options.
"I might give the CBA a shot and try to play in the NBA," Martin said. "But if I wouldn't have gotten sick, I'd in Europe right now because they pay you so well. I'm not one of those guys that have the ego to say I have to play in the NBA to be successful.
Then, he will consider his options.
"I can go to Europe and be just as successful. It's all about supporting your family," he told The Indianapolis Star.
Martin, who turns 27 next month,
averaged 18.4 points as a Purdue
He played in an Italian league last year but began losing weight and strength in November. X-rays revealed a mass on his left lung. After returning to the United States, he was diagnosed with a form of cancer known as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the most common type of lymph cancer in adults, according to his doctor.
senior in 1995. He had brief stints with Vancouver and Milwaukee in the NBA and spent parts of two seasons with Grand Repals in the CBA.
"Now if it happens again, I can get on top of it right away," he said. "It's one of the most treatable forms of cancer. It's likely it won't come back, but who knows?"
"I had no concept of cancer because I didn't have any family or friends who ever had it," said Martin, who lives in Fishers with his wife, Roberta, and son, Joshua.
"The mass was the size of a softball, so you can imagine how my body was feeling. I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't get up and down the court," said the 6-foot-6 Martin, whose weight dropped from 210 pounds to 170.
"Why they waited three weeks, I don't know," said Collins, looking for work a year after replacing the retired Jim Kelly as Buffalo's starting quarterback. "I was just wasting time learning this offense."
Buffalo Bills remove quarterback Collins
Todd Collins knew he was on his way out when Buffalo acquired Rob Johnson and Dou Flutie. The Bills finally got around to making it official.
Collins, the former Michigan star drafted 45th overall in 1995, was 215-for-391 last season for 2,367 yards with 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The Bills finished 6-10.
"I think last year Todd got too much of the blame for the losses that we had, and I'd just like to leave it at that," coach Wade Phillips said Monday.
With Collins gone and Jim Ballard on injured reserve, last year's backup, Alex Van Pett, said he's ready to play after undergoing shoulder surgery.
"It was a tumultuous off season," Van Pelt said. "I was doing a lot of stuff in the rehab and surgery. I wasn't sure if I'd be ready to go or not, so it's been a weight lifted off my shoulders."
Green Bay raises offer to star Dorsey Levens
Asked if he thought the opened the door to end the stale-mate, Hadley Engelhard said, "I hope so. We're definitely closer."
Packers chief negotiator Mike Reinfeldt acknowledged Monday that the two sides talked extensively last week, but he
Dorsey Lewens's agent said Monday that Green Bay updied its offer for the star running back to an average of $5 million over five years and that he was optimistic the halftack's holdout could end soon.
declined to comment about whether the Packers increased their offer or to characterize the progress of negotiations
Chiefs coach continues to consider Phillips
Coach Marty Schottenheimer said he had met personally with Lawrence Phillips but declined to say how close Kansas City might be to signing the troubled running back.
I've spoken with Lawrence," Schottenheimer said. "We'll make some decision in that regard pretty shortly."
A decision about Phillips, who has a history of off-field problems and has been released by St. Louis and Miami in less than a year, might come after the Chiefs see what running backs are available following this week's roster cuts.

Gradual improvement hard work deemed key
Continued from page 1A
"He's a very good possession receiver, very smart," Wyatt said. "We feel like Mike can get open and make plays."
The veteran of the squad is junior Michael Chandler, who led the team in receptions last season with 21 catches for 311 yards. Chandler has played in every game the past two seasons and has the most experience of any receiver on the team.
Added to the force is true freshman Byron Gasaway.
"He's a talented young man — size, speed, everything you look for in a wide receiver," Wyatt said. "We really expect him to make some plays for us this year."
The receivers haven't set goals for themselves this season. They just want to improve and to be as good as possible.
"I don't think there's any exact point we're shooting for. I just think we're working as hard as we can, trying to get better every day," Hill said. "If we do that, I don't know that there's a limit to how good we can be."
Dan Dercher, offensive tackle, and Jay Alexander, quarterback, were expected to meet with Ken Wertzberger, team physician, today to have their knee injuries evaluated.
