HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
You are most likely rather agitated. Is there something you'd like to be, do or have that isn't presently in your grasp? Is there something that you're not sure you can accomplish? That's what makes life exciting. No guts, no glory. Go for it.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
That moon in Capricorn is shining down on you. It's turning this into one of the most romantic evenings all year. Take flowers to whomever will spend this magical time with you. They'll be a lovely, special gift. And, they're quite affordable!
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Today, something you receive could be fraught with significance. It could mean more than whatever it seems on its surface. There's a story attached. To you, that's the most important part. You are a storyteller, and if a story is entrusted to your care, respect it.
Cancer; Today is a 7.
You and your mate could get into a tiff. You usually get along so nicely, too. You may need new skills or more information. If you look at things from each other's points of view, you can find common ground.
Leo: Todav is a 6.
Are you being forced to learn something that you're not interested in? You don't like being told what to do; that's for sure. This may be outside your normal area of expertise, but that's OK. Learn to do what's required, and you could benefit nicely.
Virao: Today is an 8.
You are most likely in a good mood. You're practical and hardworking. You always are. But, even better, romance looks awesome. Get all the work done now so you can party full time over the weekend.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Get it done. This has to do with money. You may not know exactly what you're doing, but that's OK. You're saving a ton, and that's important. Or, maybe you're making a ton. Either way is good.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Do you know all your neighbors? If not, why not? No good excuses! Instead, call up a few and ask them over. Walk around for a little while and ask people in person. You'll make your neighborhood a safer and more fun place to be.
If you don't have the job you want, move into one that fits you better. No need to put up with stuff any longer. You're a person who loves the truth, so tell it about your own life. Are you living up to your own full potential? Well, it's about time you did!
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Your work's about done for this week. Can you take some time for yourself, finally? You're usually the last one there, but maybe you don't have to do that tonight. Instead, dedicate some time to fun and games!
Pisces: Today is a 7.
If you're looking for love, a classroom setting's your best place to find it. You could become the teacher's pet with no trouble at all. If you're already in love, take a class with your sweet-heart's a good way to make your relationship stronger.
A tough job needs to be done, and you don't want to do it. Somebody else is involved. The two of you have to agree, and that's holding things up. You might not get everything you want, but half's better than nothing. Compromise.

"We didn't give up," said Dennis Heier, Blue Springs, Mo., senior. "When we were behind in the third, we just played our hearts out and came up with the victory."
After losing the first game, the team rebounded to win the second and came from behind in the third game for the close victory.
Kansas put together a win in its first match of the season, defeating K-State 10-15. 15-13. 17-15.
Mike Niemoth led the team with 14 kills, and Heier contributed 35 assists.

rangers hire Garner to replace Parrish
The Tigers replaced manager Larry Parrish with former Milwaukee Brewers manager Phil Garner yesterday, seeking a new direction for a team headed to a new stadium.
DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers will have a new manager to go with their new ballpark next season.
The Tigers and Garner agreed to a four-year deal, terms of which were not available.
Detroit general manager Randy Smith said yesterday that he spoke with Parrish and offered him the opportunity to remain in the organization as a scouting assistant. Parrish did not make an immediate decision on the new assignment.
Garner was fired in August after eight years at Milwaukee in the midst of a seventh straight losing season. He takes the reigns of a team that this season finished a disappointing 69-92 in Parrish's first full year as Detroit manager.
Garcia slips on course, hurls shoe into crowd
VIRGINIA WATER, England — Sergio Garcia was knocked out of the World Match Play championship yesterday after he slipped on a cruical tee shot and hurled his shoe.
The 19-year-old Spaniard ripped his right shoe off and threw it into the crowd on the 15th hole after his foot slipped hitting his tee shot, which he hooked into a grove of trees. He lost the hole and went two down.
The white shoe, with his nickname "El Nino" written across the heel, was tossed back by a shocked fan. Garcia later apologized.

For Kansas to win, it will require more than just a breakout from Smith — the defense will have to have a breakout game, too.
loss to Texas Tech two weeks ago
rewarmed the same ideas — stop the
run and don't give up any big plays.
In four losses, the defense has surrendered an average of 47 points and almost 500 yards of offense. Last year against Texas A&M, the Jayhawks played one of their best games of the year, but came up short in a 24-21 loss. The defense was keyed to stopping the Aggies rushing the ball, which will be the game plan again tomorrow. Texas A&M's
"Texas Tech did a lot of the same things that we did a year ago. You have to stand in there and you can't give up the big play." Allen said.
"If we get a little pressure on them two-thirds of the time I think we'll be OK."
Pressure up front would make things easier on the Kansas defensive backs, who were torched last week by K-State wide receivers. Gains of 88, 43, 38 and 35 yards took their toll on the 'Hawks.
"It shouldn't have been that bad," said wide receiver Quincy Roe after the K-State game.
"But bad things are going to happen back there. It's the nature of the position."
A win against a top-20 team like Texas A&M would be even sweeter for the 42 players on Kansas' roster who are from Texas. One of the few times during the year they go home, some of them, such as tight end David Hurst, are trying to use every minute possible to see friends and family.
"I'll probably get to see them for 20 minutes or so after the game," Hurst said.
"But if we win, Coach Allen will probably let us stay out there as long as we want."

PORTLAND, Ore. — Scottie Pippen had 14 points, seven assists and four rebounds Thursday night as the Portland Trail Blazers pulled away from the Golden State Warriors for a 105-85 exhibition victory.
Pippen was playing his first game at the Rose Garden since being traded from Houston for six Blazers earlier this month.
Wallace, Pipen, Damon Stoudamire, Detief Schrempf and Steve Smith consistently beat Golden State up and down the court, taking a 37-22 after one period.
Wallace, who shot 7-of-11, scored 10 points in the first quarter and played only 22 minutes for the Blazers.
From there, the Blazers' reserves upped the lead to 22 in the second quarter as Monty Buckley had nine points and Antonio Harvey and Jermaine O'Neal five each before the break.
Stoudamire also scored 10 points in the first as he and Wallace put on a
two-man show against the Warriors. Stoudamire had six of his eight assists in the opening period, four of them to Wallace, including an alley-oop dunk.
The Portland starters widened the lead to as many as 30 in the third quarter, with Pippen scoring seven points.
Stoudamire finished with 12 points, as did Harvey, while Smith had 10 and Schrempf grabbed eight rebounds and scored nine points.
Antawn Jamison led the Warriors with 12 points.
