HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aug. 25).
Look introspectively this year, and you'll find the person you always wished you could be. Spend part of September on personal analysis. Emphasize the good and toss the bad. A friend whispers a great way to save money in October. Act quickly. By December you'll be busy entertaining.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7. It looks like you're in the spotlight, and one of your hidden talents will be revealed. Somebody thinks you're pretty neat and that might be embarrassing. Well, you're pretty brave in most scary situations.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 6. The sun is in Virgo, and the moon is in Libra. It looks like your luck in love is increasing. You may be feeling confident enough to tackle a project that intimidated you before.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6. Everybody is charmed by your wit and fascinated by your insights, except possibly your mate, or a Virgo friend. Well, maybe they really are. It's possible the most critical person you know is one of your biggest fans.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 5.
It looks like your focus is on housecleaning again.
That could be mentally cleaning up old misunderstandings with a roommate, or it could be letters or memos that need to be written explaining things to family.
Leo (July 23-Aug, 22); Today is an 8.
Remember that book on investing you own? Where did you put it? This would be the perfect day to get it out and read it. An investment you make now could help secure your future.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
Money is still a problem, but you're starting to get more attention. People are asking you for favors, although they may be a bit reluctant to pay for them yet. That's okay. You can develop this into a good business, once you show people what you can do.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 7.
You always work best with a partner. When the other person is assertive, you tend to be passive and vice versa. That's why almost everyone thinks you're a good partner. You make the necessary modifications to support them in whatever they're doing.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
Looks like there's a mess that needs your attention. Be assertive about it. Gather whatever you need or ask questions and follow through to get answers. Be pushy. This thing needs to be resolved so you can get on to something else.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 7.
This should be a good day for getting organized.
That's the recurring theme. You sometimes think people who plan ahead are mentally ill. It cramps your style to figure out where you're going to at each place on your agenda, but that may be necessary.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
Not only do you want to travel, you also are curious about almost everything. However, it's a little difficult to apply what you're learning right now. It looks like there's a conflict between the way your routine is established and the way you'd like things to be done
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 7.
Travel backons again, and you may have to refuse
again. Obligations are holding you back for a little
longer. Contact a foreigner, and set a date for later.
Treat yourself to a foreign dinner tonight. Although it's
not quite the same, it'll be fun anyway.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 5.
You look good now. Your confidence is increasing with your good judgment. Practice that when it comes to spending money. There's something you want but can't afford. If you shop around, you can get a better deal on it. That's important. Don't spend frivolously, even though more money is coming.

Broncos' Davis recounts Superbowl headache
DENVER  — Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis, in a book titled, "TD: Dreams in Motion," said he had to be pulled briefly from last year's Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers because he forgot to take his

Davis, who scored three touchdowns en route to being named the Super Bowl MVP, said he consciously followed doctor's orders "to make sure I would never have to see cross-eyed in a football game again."
He said he realized minutes before the opening kickoff that he forgot the pill.
"I threw the Indocin in my mouth, swallowed as fast as humanly possible, but my mind was messed up," Davis said. "I was freakin' man,"
McNair helps Oilers, pregnant wife deliver
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Oilers quarterback Steve McNair found that staying focused is not easy for first-time fathers.
His wife, Mechelle, gave birth to a boy Saturday, hours before the Oilers played the Saints in New Orleans.
McNair could not arrange a flight home to be with his wife, so he talked her through the birth by telephone.
Tyler James,
due two days
earlier, was
born at 9:10
a.m., weighing
7 pounds, 15
ounces.
"All morning

"All morning
"When the game started, I was just concentrating on the game and when the game was over, my mind was back in Nashville and just getting home," he said.
The Oilers won 26-24, and McNair was 11-of-16 for 200 yards.
Bowden not looking for early retirement
OMAHA, Neb. — If Florida State wins a football title again, do not expect coach Bobby Bowden to follow his friend, former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne, into retirement.
The 68-year-old Bowden said he would not retire even if the Seminoles went undefeated and got a chance to give him a second national championship.
"I wouldn't go out if I had five of them (national championships)," Bowden said Sunday night at a charity roast of Osborne in Omaha. "I don't want to go out. As long as I can stay healthy, I want to coach. I have no desire to retire."
Bowden, who won a championship in 1993, said he did not know how to take Osborne's retirement announcement in December, a few weeks before Nebraska won the Orange Bowl and a share of the national championship. "I just felt like I probably always thought I would retire before he would," Bowden said.
Osborne, 61, who had bypass surgery years ago and an irregular heartbeat last season, cited health problems and a desire to spend more time with his family as a reason for his retirement.
About 500 people, including a number of Heisman Trophy winners,
attended the roast that benefited the NU Alumni Association, the Johnny Rodgers Foundation and the Tom Osborne
Endowment for Youth.
Rodgers, a former Nebraska star running back who won the Heisman in 1971, persuaded Bowden to make the trip, even though he had to fly back to Tallahassee, Fla., for meetings at 8:30 a.m. yesterday.
"I don't think I would have done it for any other coach in the country but Tom Osborne," Bowden said.
Announcer announces birth of baby daughter NEW YORK NBC news
NEW YORK — NBC sports
announcer Hannah Storm gave
birth to a girl, Ellery Marie Hicks,
vesterday morning.
The baby, the second for Storm and husband Dan Hicks, weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces, and was delivered at 8:35 a.m.
Storm, who also has a 19-month-old daughter, Hannah Beth, will return to host NBC's NBA pregame show, BNA Showtime, this winter.
Illinois State gains hope from recruited talent
NORMAL, III. — Illinois State football coach Todd Derry thinks he finally has enough talented players to reap big rewards for the Redbirds this season.
"We have done a good job recruiting. That's very evident when you step on the field." Berry said. "We're starting to dress out to be a pretty good team. We're big and can run."
The Redbirds hope to rebound from a disappointing 1997 when the team dropped the final eight games and finished at 2-9, lowering Berry's two-year record to 5-17. ISU is 0-11 in Gateway Conference contests under Berry, a former East Carolina offensive coordinator.
Illinois State will visit Lawrence to play the Jayhawks Sept. 19, and Berry said his team was unquestionably better this year.
How much better? He must wait at least until the Sept. 12 opper against St. Francis at Hancock Stadium to find out.
His offensive line also is his best, with tackle Tony Knutson and guard Mike Rodbro returning as starters.
Berry thinks the Redbirds' ground game will show little resemblance to the team that averaged a mere 2.8 yards per rush last season. He said Clemson transfer Sam Zanders, sophomore Aeion Cason and freshman Willie Watts were more talented than any running back ISU has had recently.
"I can't overstate how that impacts how people have to defend us." Berry said.
Kicker Jake Struder hit seven of 12 field-goal attempts and averaged 41.2 yards punting his freshman season.
Inexperience figures to haunt the Redbird defense, although the secondary should be better.
The position Berry is most worried about is the defensive line where tackle Devon Finn is the only player with any ISU game experience. Illinois transfer Conrad Adams is set at one of the ends.
