HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
Your mood's playful, but you've got a serious task at hand. Goofing off now is not a good idea. The consequences of your inattention could be costly. So, stiffel! Wait 'till the weekend to get rowdy!
You get to relax. Things that you didn't even organize will go your way. Somebody could give you a gift even though it's not your birthday! Prepare a special treat, just to get things started right.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Gemini: Today is an 8
The good news is in romance. You're attracting positive attention. The bad news is that you're getting cross-examined by a neat freak! Don't argue with that one. Hire him or her instead.
Cancer: Todav is an 8
Does your living room need a new look? You don't need to buy a new couch. You could reupholster the old one. Don't know how? Well, this is a great day to learn. Modify that example to fit whatever's really going on in your life and proceed.
Leo: Today is a 6
People want you to like them, so some of them will do almost anything. Don't take advantage of their weakness, though. You'd hate yourself in the morning. If you're going to request a favor, think of a way to pay for it.
Virgo: Today is an 8
You're looking good, and you're also smart. You know the ropes, or you're learning quickly. You're always watching out for other people, but today, do something nice for yourself. You've earned it.
Libra: Today is a 6
You need to be your own biggest critic today. Don't let yourself get away with shoddy work. Don't spend too much, either. You know how much that would be even if you don't want to admit it.
Scorpio: Today is an 8
You don't really like to be told what to do. You'd rather have that conversation take place the other way around. You could get some excellent coaching today, however, if you relax and listen. It might be fun.
Capricorn: Today is a 9
There's a bit of a conflict today. You want to play, but that could cause problems. A little mistake could make a huge difference. It wouldn't be so important, except that this one could hit you right in the pocketbook. Take care.
Pisces: Today is an 8
Aquarius: Todav is a 6
You are in the right place at the right time. There are a couple of barriers, but you're going over them like an Olympic athlete going over hurdles. Quickly, with grace and ease. Bravo!
You should be in a pretty good mood. A person who's generally rather frustrating could seem somewhat amusing instead. No need to argue. Your opinions won't change. Listen instead, and you both may learn something.
What should you do? Spend the money on practical matters or a fun-filled adventure? A new vacuum cleaner or a trip to Fantasy Island? Hmmmm. Maybe you can find a good used vacuum at a swap meet.

NCAA revokes Virginia basketball scholarship
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The NCAA revoked a basketball scholarship from Virginia for the 2000-01 season because of recruiting infractions
The NCAA deemed the violations secondary, meaning they provided a limited recruiting or competitive advantage because they occurred after the prospect had signed letters
of intent to attend Virginia.
The NCAA said yesterday a former coach arranged for a university basketball supporter to rent an apartment to a prospect in early 1996. The NCAA and the university would not identify the coach and prospect, but Jeff Jones was the coach at the time.
The arrangement included a $50 deposit and monthly rent of $200. However, rent was not paid for the short duration of the arrangement, the NCAA said.
Another supporter of Virginia athletics provided the prospect with legal expenses, impermissible transportation, lodging, meals, spending money and other benefits totaling about $14,000, the NCAA said.
NFL great sentenced after battery conviction
LOS ANGELES — NFL great Jim Brown, convicted of smashing his wife's车 with a shovel, was sentenced yesterday to probation and ordered to receive batterer's counseling, perform community service and pay $1,700 to aid domestic violence victims.
Defense attorney William Grayson told Hollywood Municipal Court Judge Dale Fischer that Brown, who was not present, would not accept any domestic violence counseling and was appealing the sentence

The 63-year-old Hall of Famer was convicted last month of misdemeanor vandalism but was acquitted of a misdemeanor charge of making a terrorist threat against his wife, Monique, 25, during a June 15 dispute at their home that led her to call police.
Fischer gave Brown 36 months of probation, ordered him to complete a batterer's counseling program and spend 40 days working with the Hollywood Beautification Team or 400 hours of community service with a choice of court supervision or internship.

Denver back eager to replace league MVP
DENVER — Don't be misled by the silver stud piercing through Derek Loville's right nostril or the nipple ring under his shirt. He is not the anti-Terrell.
In fact, the man who will replace MVP running back Terrell Davis does not crave attention and may be one of the most disciplined members of the Denver Broncos' backfield.
"I'm in the weight room every day," Loville said. "I've put in work just like the next man."
With Davis out for the season with two torn ligaments and cartilage damage in his right knee, Loville will be called upon to handle the bulk of the rushing duties.
While no one can be expected to put up Davis' numbers, Loville has spent the last three years as Davis' understudy, capably filling in when
Even with Davis healthy for the first three games, the Broncos (0-4) have struggled offensively averaging just 9.0 vards.

Former Oklahoma All-American dies
SPIRO, Okla. — Rod Shatee, a two-time All-American linebacker for Oklahoma, has died after a long illness. He was 46.
Shoate died Monday at his home. Services will be tomorrow at Mt. Triumph Baptist Church in nearby Fort Coffee.
Shoate was an All-American in
1973 and 1974. He later played with the New England Patriots and in the United States Football League
At Oklahoma, Shoate had 420 career tackles, ranking him third on the school's career list. He led the Sooners in tackles in 1972, 1973 and 1974.
During Shoate's playing days, former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer called him the best linebacker to do a Sona uniform.
He played for Sooners teams that went 29-4-1 and won the 1974 national championship. Shoate finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting as a senior in 1974 and was one of four finalists for the Lombardi Award that year.

Hawks forward fails to show for camp
Now it's time to pay up again.
"I've learned from my mistakes and I've paid for my mistakes," Rider said a couple of months ago at his first news conference with the Atlanta Hawks.
ATLANTA — Isaiah Rider claims to have matured during six mercurial years in the NBA.
Rider added to his extensive résumé of malfeasance when he failed to show up for the first workout of training camp yesterday. He also missed the Hawks' mandatory media gathering Monday, plus a team dinner and team meeting Monday night.
"I left a message this morning on his cell phone," Hawks general manager Pete Babcock said yesterday at the camp in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Babcock said he knew he was taking a serious risk when he traded Steve Smith to Portland as part of a four-player deal that included Rider.
"We expected there to be some rocky moments," he said, adding.
"We didn't want to start that way."

Fontenot helps team in many facets
Continued from page 1B
He volunteered to switch to fullback during the 1998 season because of lack of depth at that position, but he misses playing linebacker dearly.
"If I was four inches taller, I would be playing linebacker somewhere," he said. "I always thought I would be a linebacker."
But now he has to live with his blocking duties in the offensive backfield and the occasional big hit. Special teams allow Fontenot to relive his defensive days, the big hits are something that he cherishes.
"When I hit them, it sure does feel good," he said.
"But you have to take what you're given and roll with it."
He said that he'll miss football, but he can't wait to begin his career in law enforcement. The internship has been exactly what Fonteen expected: challenging and intense. He can't even discuss what he does during his internship, but that just adds to the mystique.
Though some might view the career choice as a little crazy itself, crazy and intense wouldn't be anything new to Fontenot.
He thinks people have to be a little crazy to play football, so why not carry-over to a chosen profession?
"Every play in football is intense," he said.

"You may have a slow day in the agency, then when you get off, something intense might happen.
I'm glad that it's like that, it makes you think quick, just like in football."
