HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 9.
Time for you to fall in love again? It could happen in an academic setting. If you are already in love, then you and your sweetheart ought to take a class. Something both physically and mentally stimulating would be best. Do it with friends, if possible. Dancing, anyone?
Taurus: Today is a 5.
Although you're a person of few words, those few words could be worth their weight in gold. It doesn't take many to get the meaning across if you choose the right ones. And, you sure can. Timing is everything, however. Wait for the right moment.
Gemini: Todav is a 9.
You should round out this month on a successful note. Celebrate by launching a new project. Something you start now could turn out well, especially if it involves love. Going back to school is a good idea, too, and travel should be loads of fun. Enjoy!
Cancer: Today is a 5.
It's nice to know what's going on, but you don't want to hear about it all day long. Tell a talkative friend you're interested, only in the stuff that affects you. He or she can keep all the rest of it, with your blessing.
Leo: Today is an 8.
This ought to be pretty interesting. Things are happening quickly, but you can most likely keep up. If you start loss tracking of what's going on, ask a Libra or Gemini to help. They'll be glad to explain.
Virgo: Today is a 5.
Weave in and out and stay out of other people's way. They're moving quickly, but are they being effcient? Maybe not, but be careful how you tell them. They're having so much fun, they may not care that the job's not getting done! And, if you make them notice, you may have to do it!
Libra: Today is a 9.
Do you have a friend far away you can talk to about everything? That's a good person to talk to right now. Wait until after the rates go down if you need to, but sharing about a recent breakthrough will make it more likely to stick.
Congratulations on your new point of view, by the way.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Looks like an excellent evening for a fascinating conversation. A favorite foreign restaurant would be a good destination. Your perfect date is a person who poses a bit of a challenge and can teach you a thing or two. Don't take your work with you though. It would interfere.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
If you ask leading questions, you'll find out all sorts of things. Keep most of what you learn to yourself. This is how you gather the information that gives you the edge. Think of it as an Easter egg hunt, except instead of eggs, you're hunting aces to keep up your sleeve.
Don't let the negotiations under way keep you from taking on another project. They are abundant right now. Ask a loved one to help you choose between them. Working together, you'll find it easier to tell the good deals from the bad.
Aaarius: Today is a 9.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You and your sweetheart ought to take a little time to celebrate. The perfect reason is love. There are lots of different kinds of love, so you have lots of people you could celebrate with. Or, maybe you'll decide that three's a crowd. It's up to you.
There's a lot of activity at your house. What are you doing? Adding on another bathroom? Not a bad idea, actually. You seem to be in the tearing-down phase, getting ready for the building-beautiful part. Just keep at it; you're doing fine.

If a playoff is needed to determine the NL Central title, Houston would play at the Cincinnati Reds.
If a tiebreaker is needed to
determine the wild card, the New York Mets would play at Cincinnati or the Astros would play at New York. In the event Cincinnati, Houston
and New York all finish with the same record, the Astros would play at the Reds to determine the Central champion and the Mets would be the wild card because the tiebreaker loser would have a lower percentage than New York.

In game, Jordan tells Gregory his dunking days are done
Continued from page 1B
said that it was very common, and at times very annoying, for people to mistake him for Air Jordan, especially from a distance.
"A few times people would see me from behind and come up to me and tap me on the shoulder." Gregory said. "Then I would turn around, and they would see I wasn't him."
The fans' mistaking of Gregory for Jordan didn't stop with a sighting from a distance and a tap on the shoulder. People who saw Gregory play at the camp were confused as well.
Jordan had a slam-dunk contest at the camp in which counselors, such as Gregory, could participate. After Gregory won the contest, he said people who had seen it really thought he was Jordan.
"It got worse after the dunk contest," Gregory said. "I think I put on a pretty good show."
Next, the counselors and other players scrimmaged against Jordan. Before tip-off of the first game, Jordan walked up to Gregory and said, "There's not going to be any dunking."
"A few times people would see me from behind and come up to me and tap me on the shoulder. Then I would turn around, and they would see I wasn't him."
Kenny Gregory
Kansas guard
Jordan was right. Gregory did not even attempt to dunk on Jordan.
Gregory: Was mistaken for Jordan this summer
Did he guard him?
"I tried," Gregory said. "He still has it. You can tell he doesn't play every day anymore, but he was still the best player on the court by far."
playing with Jordan was the biggest upside to working the camp for Gregory, who said that Jordan was a lot nicer than he expected. He said that after one of the sessions Jordan talked for an hour and a half with camp workers about anything they wanted to know — from Dennis Rodman to
basketball.
Jordan: His Airmess told Gregory there would be no dunking
As far as fulfilling his comparisons to Jordan, Gregory said that it was something he doesn't think about. He said that he has improved more mentally and physically in the last six months than he did in his first two years at Kansas, and that he was excited for the upcoming season to start.
His mom, although admitting that she sees a little M.J. in K.G. said, "Kenny wouldn't want to be labeled Michael Jordan or anything like that. He just wants to be labeled Kenny Gregory."
