HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
For most of this day, you'll need to watch your money. Watch what you're saying, too. Soon it'll be easier to do just about everything. If you're having trouble getting the information you want, don't worry. You'll do best if you stick with the familiar.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You've had long enough to consider your next move; now you need to make it. This could pertain to work, something about your home or even to your relationship. Discuss the situation with your partner and finally reach a compromise. Yes, it is possible.
Work hard, pay attention and don't say much. Be practical and hardworking. Tell your crazy friends to keep out of sight, at least until after work. Don't talk bad about people behind their backs, either. The odds of them finding out are huge.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Today you should feel relaxed and somewhat romantic — cuddly. It should be a gorgeous evening for entertaining. You don't need to go to a fancy place to show your love. You can do it very nicely with a home-cooked meal.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Move slowly today even if you don't feel like it.
Pay attention to what other people want even if they don't tell you with words. Others' input is important now.
You can frolic after an important matter is set-tled.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You're probably thinking quickly, and that's good. Get rid of all the stuff that slows you down. Don't hold onto outdated ideas. You've discovered that things aren't the way you thought they were, and it's time to adapt — completely.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Be cautious about money. You hate cutting coupons usually, but today it might be a good idea Turn in those aluminum cans. Every little bit helps, especially now. Figure out what your big money's doing, too. Pay off a debt, and you'll save a bundle.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Don't dilly daily. Get into the job, and make sure it's done right. You don't have to get bossy. Just empower the others to do whatever needs to be done. You have a great opportunity now, so make the most of it.
You'll get more energy as the day goes on. Tomorrow will be much easier. Don't jump the gun, however. If you encounter a good listener who asks leading questions, be wary. Get back to this person after you find out what he or she really wants.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
It's time for your group to make a decision. This could be fun, but you need to work out the details first. Schedule your excursion for the sun's transit through Scorpio or Capricorn. If you start planning now, by then it'll be like falling off a log.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You may feel like you're being squashed. Every door is locked; every path is blocked. Instead of bashing your head any further, stop. Go back to the drawing board. Tomorrow it's going to be much easier.
Contact a foreigner as soon as possible. By tomorrow, it may be too late. This could be fun, but if you don't hurry, the opportunity may be lost. By the time others ask for your time, have some of it booked for yourself.
It appears that the Kansas basketball program may be close to losing one of its big three recruits this off season, as 6-foot-11 center Jared Reiner of Tripp, S.D., is rumored to be close to signing with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Big 12 recruit may sign with Iowa Hawkeyes
KANSAS BASKETBALL
According to recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons' Web site, Reiner, who has been considering Iowa throughout, revisited the Hawkeyes this past weekend. He had originally planned to wait until the spring signing period but changed his mind and will sign in November because of his desire to focus on his upcoming senior season of high school basketball.
However, he still plans to visit Kansas along with Utah and Connecticut late in October.
Kansas' other two recruits, 6-5 guard DeShawn Stevenson and 6-8 forward Travon Bryant, will be in town Friday night for the annual Late Night with Roy Williams. Both have said they will wait until the spring to sign, but Bryant recently has told Mike Sullivan of Insiders Report that the chances are 50-50 that he will sign in the early November period.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
K-State linebacker wins award for Kansas aame
DALLAS — Kansas State line-backer Mark Simoneau, who had 11 tackles in a 50-9 victory against Kansas, was named the Big 12 Conference's outstanding defensive player for the second week in a row.
Simoneau, who now leads the Wildcats with 40 tackles and four quarterback sacks, also had two tackles for loss and a quarterback sack against Kansas.

First court appearance for Heisman candidate

Warrick, a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy before his arrest, and Coles are accused of paying $21.40 for $412.38 worth of clothes with the help of a department store clerk.
They turned themselves in to police Friday after being charged with felony theft.
Coles, 21, was kicked off the team because he had been on probation for earlier academic and legal troubles.
Warrick, 22, was suspended from the team and was on the sidelines during Florida State's 31-21 win against Miami on Saturday. Under university policy, he would be able to return to the team once he takes care of his legal obligations in the case.
The first court hearing was Monday, but neither player was required to attend and neither did. The innocent pleas were entered into the files as a matter of routine.
PRO FOOTBALL
Rams 4-0 behind arm of Warner, no tricks
In 1995, the Rams required trick plays that earned then-coach Rich Brooks the derisive nickname of "Harry High School," to get to this point.
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams are 4-0 for the second time since they moved from California, and this time no mirrors are involved.
Now led by Kurt Warner, who has 14 touchdown passes in the first four games, the Rams have improved from 27th in total offense last year to third. Isaac Bruce caught four of Warner's five touchdown passes Sunday as the Rams ended a 17-game losing streak against the San Francisco 49ers with a 42-20 blowout.

row. The coxswain's job is to coach the rowers in the boat and help them with any problems that may arise.
Masonbrink, a coxswain, said that while her job was to get the rowers motivated, sometimes they can get frustrated at orders being barked at them.
"We sometimes annoy the rowers when we get on their case," she said. "But we're not trying to get them mad, just pumped up. We don't want to offend them."
Masonbrink said that she started rowing when she was in high school and got hooked on it. She said that it helped having rowing experience to be a good coxswain because she knew the ins and outs of being in a boat.
"If you know what you are talking about, then the rowers can respect you," she said. "It's worth the pressure."
This weekend the Jayhawk crew team competed in two regattas: Saturday in Davenport, Iowa, and Sunday in Rockford, Ill. Melanie Moore, Morrison, Colo., senior, said that the two regattas tested the endurance of the crew members because they competed in about six races apiece.
"Everyone did well," she said. "I
The Jayhawk crew team participates in regattas in both the fall and spring, usually traveling around the Midwest and mostly competing against Big 12 Conference and Big Ten Conference schools. O'Rourke said that last year the team sent a boat to the Nationals, and he said he could definitely see the Jayhawks sending more teams this year.
think every team member walked away with at least two medals. Everyone felt like they had improved."
"There's potential to send some boats that will compete seriously," he said.
O'Rourke said he had been a part of crew for three years and was hooked on it. He said he didn't think about crew until a team member told him he should check it out.
"He told me I was tall and would be good at it," he said. "I gave it a try, and now I love it."
O'Rourke said that being tall was a benefit to be a good rower because of the longer stroke it provided the oar in the water. However, he also said that while being tall was an advantage to being a rower, but not a necessity.
"I've known a lot of short people

who could smoke me in the water," he said. "There's lots of technique involved. You don't really just get in the boat the first day and be great at it."
Masonbrink said that another reason she loved crew was because of the relationships she had developed since joining the team.
"It takes so much teamwork that it really pulls everyone close," she said.
O'Rourke said that people shouldn't feel like they might be too small to participate in crew.
"Nobody is too small or too big," he said. "It's a great thing to get involved in. There's nothing but opportunities."
Students interested in being a part of Kansas Crew should call Kevin O'Rourke at 832-1275.
