HOROSCOPES
Your friends are a constant source of amusemen! They could come up with an outrageous scheme. You might be able to pull this off, but only if you're practical. How are you going to pay for it? Find the money first, and you're in.
Aries: Today is an 8.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
People are full of great ideas, and they're making way too much noise. You may be one of the few who's grounded. Don't let them make complete fools of themselves before you let them know You can be nice about it, too, of course. They'll thank you later.
This is a fabulous day for you. There are only a few minor difficulties. One is financial. Don't let yourself get too extravagant. It simply isn't necessary. Also, keep most of what you know to yourself. Don't brag about your good luck.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Could you do the work yourself and save a lot of money? Do you even know how to do whatever needs to be done? The plan's not complete yet, so don't make the decision. Consult a friend who's been there and done that before.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Watch, listen and learn. You're not ready to resume your leadership role, at least not in one new situation. You're growing, and sometimes that's uncomfortable. But, once you get this figured out, you'll be able to do more. So relax.
If the stress gets too thick, retreat. A little peace and quiet, perhaps in the company of a good friend, will be good for you. Somebody else can pitch in and help, and they will if you're not there to do it all.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is an 8.
If you could spend the whole day in romantic conversation with your favorite person, you'd be in heaven. Just the opposite may happen, however, if you talk about money. You may catch some flak about a recent purchase. Admit it if you were wrong.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Do you want to buy something new? A tool, perhaps? You can't quite afford it yet, but don't despair. The more you learn, the more likely it is you'll find a way to cut costs. Keep studying!
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You should be sharp today. You have a little more patience than usual, too. You're good at seeing the overview, but sometimes you miss the details. Watch out for those but don't lose track of the big picture. Others rely on you for that.
You could be in a good position to get an increased allowance. If that's not likely, it's a way to save money instead. Don't talk too much about what you discover, or jealousies could develop. Keep financial matters to yourself.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
This should be a good day for you. Long-distance communications should go especially well. You get your idea across clearly, but take care. Don't let a person who doesn't need to know in or the conversation yet.
You're under a bit of pressure. How can you pay back what you borrowed? Just take it one step at a time. Come up with a plan you can follow through on because that's important. Being reliable is more important now than being rich.
DALLAS — Texas Tech freshman Shaud Williams, who rushed for 230 yards on 21 carries en route to a 31-10 Red Raider victory against Colorado, has been named the Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week.

His teammate, sophomore defense back Kevin Curtis, was selected
as the conference's defensive standout. Kansas State kicker Jamie Rheem, a junior, was named in the
weekly media balloting as the Specialty Player of the Week.
Specialty paper on 11 yards per carry in the 11th best rushing performance in Tech history. It was the second game this season he'd rushed for more than 100 yards.
Curtis was involved in 20 tackles against Colorado. He recovered a fumble and stopped a Buffalo's drive with an interception in the end zone. Rheem kicked four field goals in the Wildcats' 40-0 win against Utah State. He made the conference's second-longest field goal of the year, which came from 57 yards out.
BASEBALL
BOSTON — While umpires keep blowing calls on the field, their lawyers keep maneuvering in the background.
Major League umpires petition to break union
Lawyers for the umpires' union, dissident umpires and owners will meet tomorrow with the National Labor Relations Board on the petition to get rid of union leader Richie Phillips and form a new union.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Daniel Silverman, the NLRB's New York regional director, originally scheduled a hearing for Oct. 22 before staff lawyer Stephen Appell. But Silverman said yesterday the hearing didn't take place until Oct. 29 at the earliest and perhaps not until Nov. 3 or 4.
"The meeting is to clarify the issues, to see whether or not the parties agree there should be an election and, if so, who should vote," Silverman said by telephone from New York.
Disident umpires filed a petition with the NLRB last week, demanding an election to decertify the current union and form a new one.
to file a petition to decertify their union and form a new one. The dissidents, led by alMUs Joe Brinkman, John Hirschbeck and Dave Phillips — who is not related to the union leader — said they filed signatures of more than 30 per cent of the 93 major league umpires. If an election is held, it will be decided by majority vote.
The disidents, angry with the failed strategy of mass resignations that cost 22 umps their jobs last month, want to replace Phillips, the union head since 1978.
Under federal law, 30 percent of eligible union members are needed
The current union has filed a grievance in an attempt to regain the jobs of the 22, but no date has been set for the start of that hearing, which will be before arbitrator Alan Symonette.

was added Monday to the USA Basketball Women's Senior National team roster, replacing WNBA teammate Cynthia Cooper.
A member of the 1998 World Championship gold medal team, she will play during the upcoming 12-game NCAA Tour from Nov. 1 to Dec. 12.
The team will play against top NCAA Division I women's teams. The team also will participate in several yet-to-be-announced international tours and tournaments from January through March 2000.
Breaking for the 2000 WNBA season, the squad will reconvene in mid-August for its final month of training prior to the Sept. 16 to Oct. 1 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
De La Haya sued by former manager
LOS ANGELES — Oscar De La Hoya's one-time business manager is suing the former welterweight champ, claiming breach of contract for failure to honor a five-year cease
Cooper left the team last week saying she was unable to fully participate in the team's training program.

last year.
Mike Hernandez alleged in a Superior Court suit filed Oct. 14 that he was fired because De La Hoya "decided to take over his own affairs," attorney Mark Polan said. De La Hoya
was surprised to learn about the suit, according to his lawyers, Bert Fields and Robert Chapman. Both sides had been discussing resolution of claims in informal discussions, they said.
Chapman, who said De La Hoya never signed the contract, said the fighter will now file a counter suit against Hernandez.
The British Boxing Board of Control cited Dodson for "bringing the sport into disrepute." In addition to the ban, he was fired $1,600.
British boxer banned 18 months for biting
LONDON — British boxer Adrian Dodson was banned for 18 months Monday for biting his opponent during a Commonwealth middleweight title fight.
The board ruled that Dodson was guilty of biting Canada's Alain Bonnamire in the 12th and last round of their Oct. 5 bout in London. Dodson said he would consider an appeal.
"We had a fair hearing, but the sentence is very harsh," the 29-year-old Dodson said. "Mike Tyson served only one year after chewing Evander Holfyield's ear. We will think about an appeal."
On July 9, 1997, Tyson's boxing license was revoked by Nevada authorities. He was fined $3 million, with reinstatement possible after a year.
Dodson was five rounds ahead on referee John Keane's scorecard with just 50 seconds of the fight remaining at London's Royal National Hotel when the fighters tangled on the ropes and Bonnamie emerged with bite marks to his midriff. Dodson was immediately disqualified.
At a news conference last week, Dodson apologized but denied biting his opponent. He said his mouthpiece remained in place, and he "pinched" Bonnamie with his mouth.

said that athletes can advance all the way up to a ninth degree black belt and that it took him only three-and-a-half years to advance to his current level, which is a relatively short time.
Lindsey said that to advance to a higher belt, an athlete has to master a certain number of techniques. For each higher belt, the athlete has to demonstrate the skills from each lower level to be considered.
The World Kuk Sool Won tournament was held Oct. 9 in Houston, involving athletes from all around the world, including Europe, Canada
"The white belts learn the foundations," he said. "You have to make sure you are firmly grounded in the rank before you are tested."
"You have to push yourself to develop and work to your full potential.The end result is that your martial art toolbox is bigger and well-equipped,so you have the right tool for the right job."
"About 232 techniques have to be mastered to be a first-degree black belt," he said.

Lindsey also said that the promotion to black belt only can come under the direction of the Grand Master of Kuk Sool Won. Lindsey said performing in front of him can be very nerve-racking.
"It's extremely challenging," he said. "He expects a lot of you. But you know you have to do it if you want to advance."
Pendreigh said that to advance to the next level, white belts had to master a set of 15 techniques and would be tested to see if they had learned them all.
and even Venezuela. Lindsey said that at the world tournament, as could be expected, the competition was pretty steep.
"About 25 percent of the people there were first-degree black belts or higher," he said.
Lindsey entered five events, with the top four athletes placing in each event. He placed in all five, taking first place in the staff event. Pendrigh said that after the Jayhawk athletes were scored in front of the judges, every one of them there placed in some event.
He said that while the self-defense and fitness aspects of the martial art were important, they all led to the
Lindsey said that Kuk Sole Won was a way to get in great physical condition while still learning the principles of self-defense. He said that a goal was to train your body to be a strong, effective martial artist.
"Almost on a daily basis things come to you that seem impossible," he said. "But you see that if you apply yourself, you can master them. It reflects on life."
The Jayhawk club team practices every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in 207 Robinson, the room with the rock climbing wall. Pendrigh said anyone interested in Kuk Soul Won was welcome to visit a practice, but shouldn't be intimidated about the action they would see.
"We don't expect everyone to have the same abilities," he said. "You're not going to get thrown around. Everyone can rise to their own level of competence."
Lindsey said that Kuk Sool Won could help people build cardiovascular fitness while developing their flexibility, strength, and balance.
the emphasis is on self-development," he said. "The goal is the unification of the mind and body."
"You have to push yourself to develop and work to your full potential," he said. "The end result is that your martial art toolbox is bigger and well-equipped, so you have the right tool for the right job."
