HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
You'll figure out what needs to be done pretty quickly now. You're smart, and you knew you'd find a way. You're creative and imaginative, and you're learning quickly. You have to lot Don't talk; study!
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Make an agreement you'll be able to live with for a while with a partner. You need to take action quickly. How do you buy, sell and trade to get what you want? You're good at this. Make lists and get prepared. You'll have to know what to do when the time comes.
You'll be able to tell when the moon goes into your sign. You'll go from feeling rotten to feeling pretty good. Your worries will start to fade, and you'll get back into action. You don't have much time for romance, but don't worry. It'll wait.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Push yourself early, that's when you're most productive. Later, you could get worried. You may think you've taken on too much. Well, maybe you have, but maybe not. Maybe you've grown. Maybe you're stronger now than you were before
but you're stronger now than you were before—and smarter, too.
Leo: Today is a 5.
You could get off to a slow start, but that's OK. At first you don't want to do anything, and everything you suggest gets turned down. Then, you get the support you need. All of a sudden, things go well again. So, hang in there.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
You start out interested in everything, and that's good. There will be a test soon. You'll need the facts at your fingertips. That's fine. You can prove that you know what you're talking about. Right? Well, you will by then, anyway.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
You're going to be in a grumpy mood for a while, but relax. You'll figure things out as you go along. Send out invoices to get the money that's owed to you. Get that done so you can drift into other pleasures later on tonight.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
You and your mate need to figure out how to spend the money. That's the tricky part. You want one thing, and he or she wants another.
Compromise now; you won't have time later. Plan as quickly as possible so when the action starts, you'll be on the same wave length.
Don't be too critical of your performance this morning. As the day goes on, things should get easier. Later, discuss what worked and what didn't. Put in the correction, and you'll be even more successful next time. You're learning.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
Today the first thing for you is fun, and things get more difficult later. That's the reverse of how it usually is, but you can adapt. A breakfast date would be fun, but plan to have dinner at your desk.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
Pisces: Todav is a 7.
The early part of the day should be the most interesting. Make decisions then. As the day progresses, it'll be more difficult for you to concentrate. Things won't go as planned, so don't plan too tightly. Have all the tough stuff done by then.
Everybody wants a piece of your hide today.
You may wish you could sneak to a place where
they can't find you. Try not to get cranky; that will
make matters worse. Things will be much easier
for you tomorrow, so stall. Let a loved one pamper
you tonight.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Prospect chooses Iowa wants playing time
Last weekend, one of Kansas' three recruiting prospects, Jared Reiner, chose to flock with birds of a different feather as he verbally committed to the University of Iowa and probably will become a Hawkeye next season.
Reiner, a 6-foot-11 center from Tripp, S.D., gave Iowa a verbal commitment late Sunday. Reiner was the third member of Kansas' big three this recruiting season but told Rob Matera of the recruiting Web site www.allstarreport.com that he favored Iowa because of coach Steve Alford's energetic personality and because Iowa offered him a chance to play right away as a freshman.
Kansas, however, has received a verbal commitment from 6-foot-5 guard DeShawn Stevenson, one of the nation's top prospects. The Jayhawks are also at the top of 6-foot-9 forward Travon Bryant's four-school list.
With three remaining scholarships, the Jayhawks will at least have one left after the November signing period — something that coach Roy Williams had said that he wanted at the beginning of the semester.

Tyson may be fined for late-thrown punch
LAS VEGAS — Mike Tyson will have to wait a few more days to collect the $8.7 million he made for his aborted fight with Orlin Norris. And when he finally gets his check, he could find a few dollars missing.

Nevada boxing regulators will meet Friday to discuss Tyson's latest
antics in the ring, and decide whether to take any action against him for a late blow that prematurely ended his fight with Norris after the first round Saturday night.

BASEBALL Seattle finds new general manager
SEATLETT — Pat Gillick, who led the Toronto Blue Jays to consecutive World Series titles, is the new general manager of the Seattle Mariners.
At an afternoon news conference, Mariners chairman Howard Lincoln praised Gillick as an experienced general manager with a history of fielding championship
teams.
For the past five weeks, the Mariners had been interviewing possible replacements for general manager Woody
Woodward, who announced his resignation Sept. 23.
Gillick, 62, led the Blue Jays to titles in 1992-93. He also served as general manager of the Baltimore Orioles from 1995 until his retirement after last season. He has twice been named baseball's Executive of the Year.
Gillick was with the Blue Jays from 1976 until he stepped down after the 1994 season.

The second-year player was placed on the reserve, non-football injury list last week and is out for the season.

"Kevin is doing well, thank goodness," said Jets coach Bill Parcells. "All the reports are good, and he is off the respirator. Things have taken a turn for better, but he still will be there for some time, according to the doctors."
ALMEDA, Calif. — Oakland quarterback Rich Gannon broke a bone in his left wrist when knocked to the ground after throwing the deciding touchdown pass in the Raiders' 24-23 win against the New York Jets.
And tailback Tyrone Wheatley, who was taken off the field on a cart after injuring his lower back in the third quarter of Sunday's game, remained in a hospital today for further tests. Raiders coach Jon Gruden said tests so far have shown no serious damage to Wheatley's back.
If Gannon can't play, Gruden said Bobby Hoying will be the Raiders' starter Sunday at home against the Miami Dolphins. Hoying, obtained by Oakland in a trade from Philadelphia during the preseason, has not played yet for the Raiders but played for the Eagles while Gruden was the offensive coordinator there.

Cross country Big 12 Championships in College Station, Texas
Rowing team fights wind, full field, misses top 15 goal
By Shawn Linenberger sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Strong head winds and a crowded field prevented the Kansas rowing team from attaining its top-15 goal in the Championship Eight division at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston Sunday.
The Jayhawks, who trailed the eventual champion, Rowing Canada, by 28 seconds after the first 120 meters, finished the 3.25 mile race with a time of 18:08.45. Kansas finished in 24th place out of 64. 1.37 minutes behind the national team from Canada.
Rowing into the wind and racing among numerous boats certainly didn't help the Jayhawks' performance. Only 12 seconds separated the Jayhawks from 14thplace Michigan State, Still, the
Southern California, with a time of 17:06.56, was the highest collegiate team, finishing fourth after Rowing Canada, USRowing and the Danish Rowing Federation. Kansas was 19th among collegiate boats compared to a 17th overall finish in last year's regatta.

team wasn't pleased with its performance.
"We hoped to finish in the top 15," Senior Tara Lynn said. "We were disappointed when we got out of the water. From now on, the only way we can go is up." Coach Rob Catloth also saw room for improvement.
"We have our work cut out for us in Iowa City," Catloth said, referring to the Head of the Iowa Reatta this Sunday.
Some other teams in the regatta include Kansas State, which finished 28th at the Head of the
Charles, Drake, Wisconsin and Iowa.
The second-varsity boat competed in a strange race in the Club Eight division Saturday.
The Jayhawks had a strong race, crossing the finish line in eighth place, but a judge penalized them, resulting in a 38th-place finish. The team is petitioning the ruling because its boat never collided with another, which usually warrants the penalty. After the infraction, the second varsity boat finished with a time of 20:04.76.
