HOROSCOPES
Aries: Todav is a 6.
You're still concerned about finances, but that's OK. You're coming up with some good ideas. Continue to gather input from those who have succeeded in what you're trying to accomplish. Admit when you don't know and ask for advice.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Talking about money could cause tension, especially if you think the other person spent too much. The objective is not to get the other person upset; it's to put in a system that works. So, don't start off with an attack. Offer a solution, and maybe a reward, instead.
Gemini: Todav is a 5.
You'll have to pay attention to what you say for the next several weeks. That's important. Write it down. Get into the habit of asking questions instead of dispensing information. It's good to know how to do this. Also, practice lis tening.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You're under a bit of pressure. You have to learn how to do something new, and that's uncomfortable. The deadline is coming up, so study. Once you find the answer, you'll be proud of yourself. Do the homework!
Leo: Today is a 4.
There's a bit of a problem today. You're trying to be in two places at once. You may have to put off the group activity until later. If it comes down to one or the other, a personal matter takes precedence. Besides, staying home will save you money.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
You could be in over your head. Did you say you'd do more than you can? Be slow to accept new assignments. If you make any new promises today, let the person know it might be a while before you can follow through on them. Your plate's too full already!
Libra: Today is a 6.
Getting your meaning across should be easy. Some topics should be kept confidential, however. People are interested, but you shouldn't discuss your money with anybody except the people who owe it to you. Mum's the word.
Sagittarius: Today is a 4.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Tend to practical matters. Buy, sell, shop and move your investments around. There could be an unexpected occurrence at home, possibly due to your own manipulations. You prefer to be the harbinger of all surprises, but take care. That may not be the case.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You're busy; that's for sure. The problem is that your friends want you to play. The pull is strong, maybe almost irresistible. This is unusual for you. You may not be able to afford to take the whole day off, however. Get the most important stuff done.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
You like to tell the truth even if it's to your disadvantage. Watch out for a tendency to do that now. Keeping your mouth shut is a better idea. Gather information but don't dispense it yet. See what develops next.
The earlier you play, the better. Most of the day, you'll be too busy. If you get a good offer early, take it! Don't even schedule a date for tonight. You'd just have to postpone it anyway.
Pisces: Today is a 5.
Things are getting stirred up, which makes you a bit uncomfortable. Your intuition may not be working well, either. Wait and ask questions. No need to make your move until the picture comes in more clearly.

Panel may give Tyson tough punishment
BOXING
RENO, Nev. — A member of the Nevada Athletic Commission wants the panel to take a tough stand and fine Mike Tyson for his punch after the bell Saturday night.
The former heavyweight champion and his advisers also should get a strong letter from the commission condemning Tyson's actions against Orlin Norris, commissioner Luther Mack said Monday.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Norris went down from the late blow after the first round, hurt his knee and couldn't continue. The fight was declared a no contest, and Tyson's $8.7 million purse is being withheld upon a commission hearing Friday.
School president Mark Yudof thinks the NCAA will impose more sanctions after it receives the university's final report on the investigation in mid-November.

Spartan All-American to miss season's start

Cleaves likely will not play until shortly before the Spartans begin the Big Ten season, Jan. 5 against Penn State.

Britain backs outside drug agency for tests
LONDON — Britain will back the U.S. proposal for a drug agency that is not controlled by the International Olympic Committee.
Barry McCaffrey, head of the White House drug policy office, is touring Europe to build support for an independent international agency to lead the fight against performance-enhancing drugs.
OLYMPICS
McCaffrey opposes the IOC's plans for such an agency, contending it would lack independence and accountability. But the IOC said yesterday it planned to set up its
agency next month and have it operating by the end of the year.
In a joint statement after a two-day meeting in London with British antidrugs coordinator Keith Hellwell,
Britain endorsed McCaffrey's five principles:

The Braves went ahead in the first when Gerald Williams singled leading off, Boone doubled and Chipper Jones had an RBI grounder to third. Scott Brosius
had a play at the plate, but fumbled the ball and then threw to first.
New York tied it in the bottom half when Jordan dropped Knoblauch's lead-off liner for a two-base error, and Knoblauch scored on Paul O'Neill's opposite field single to left with one out.
Boone doubled again leading off the third and scored on Jordan's single for a 2-1 lead. Andruw Jones then singled and Hernandez doubled them both in.

Williams tripled off the centerfield wall leading off the fourth and scored on Boone's third double for a 5-1 lead. Chipper Jones' single chased Pettitte, who was replaced by Jason Grimsley.
Curtis hit an opposite-field homer to right in the fifth and Martinez homered to right two innings later.
One more win by the Yankees will give them their third World Series title in four years.
