HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8.
Money, money, money, money! Is that all you can think about? There's a rumor money's coming into your account soon. But, wait! There are some technical difficulties! Ain't that just the way it goes? Grab hold of as much as possible before it all gets away.
Taurus; Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
You're sure getting a lot of questions. Everybody wants to pick your brain, but they don't want to pay you expert wagges! Don't give up and don't give away everything you know, either. Keep a couple of aces up your sleeve.
Things could get kind of locked up today. The traffic is pretty heavy. You might be one of the few people who can negotiate in and out. So, make sure the right message gets to the right person.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Focus your attention on a friend today. This person needs your support. Your life has been kind of confusing lately, but this person has had some real problems to deal with. Offer a healing hand.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You could get a chance to use some of the things you learned recently. Don't be upset if you don't get it perfectly yet. You're on your way to Carnegie Hall, remember? So, just keep practicing. You're doing fine.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
This is another Walter Mitty sort of day. You have wonderful dreams, yet you're surrounded by the nagging same-old-same-old. Which will prevail? Well, the more you believe in your dreams, the stronger they become.
Libra: Today is a 7.
The more money you save, the more you seem to need. Is this what they call "keeping it in circulation?" You want to buy gifts for your family and your friends, but hold off on some of that stuff. Better pay off the old bills before you make new ones.
Scorpio: Today is a 4.
Saqittarius: Today is an 8.
Continue to put your support behind another person today. Somebody else is going to be more effective at achieving your goals than you are. That's not that to say you're not effective; it's just that the best way to do it right now is to work through somebody else.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
You may be eagerly anticipating going back to work, amazing though that may sound. An idea is burning inside you, demanding to be expressed. Your friends want to help, too. So, rip and tear. You all could make a big difference, but be patient.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Today, there should be plenty of love but maybe not enough money. Don't worry about how you'll afford something you want, especially if it involves romance in any way. Working on problems together is a bonding experience and might even be fun. Take on a challenge.
You should take your vacation at this time of year. That way, work won't interfere with your fun. You may also be so intrigued with a household project that you don't give a fig about what's happening at your job. Watch out for that.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Confusion's still out there, but that's OK. Just keep doing what worked before, and it'll work again. Practice is what will get you into the big time. Don't dismay if somebody tells you it can't be done. Just because they can't, doesn't mean you can't.
The Kansas women's golf team finished a disappointing 17th out of a field of 18 on Saturday in the Jones Intercable/Dick McGuire Invitational at the University of New Mexico golf course.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Longhorns rout Bears in conference debut
WACO, Texas — The lone grass stain on Texas quarterback Major Applewhite's knee said it all.
A week after struggling to score touchdowns in an 18-13 victory against Rice, No. 22 Texas handed over-matched Baylor a 62-0 whipping in the Longhams' Big 12 conference opener. Authenticity seemed for 232
yards and three touchdowns for Texas (4-1, 1-0) before leaving the game in the third quarter, Texas
scored touchdowns all eight times it got within the Bayou 20 yard line.
Hodges Mitchell added 131 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns, and Chris Robertson ran for two touchdowns as Texas rolled up 586 yards of offense.
Texas' defense was just as dominating in its first shutout since 1991, holding Bavior to 159 yards.
Baylor had more kickoff return yardage (167) than from the line of scrimmage. The Bears suffered their worst loss since a 72- Texas blowout in 1913.
BERLIN — Tega Loroupe set a women's world record in winning the Berlin Marathon Sunday, beating her previous mark by four seconds.
Kenyan sets record for women's marathon
RUNNING
The Kenyan sprinted to the finish in 2 hours, 20 minutes, 43 seconds on a cool, cloudy day. She broke her record of 2:20-47 set at Rotterdam, Netherlands, on April 18, 1998.
She ran out front with three Kenyan pacemakers from the start. With the three men calling out splits and running ahead as a shield when headwinds blew, Loroupe was 90 seconds ahead of her Rotterdam pace early on.
Loroupe was almost 30 seconds off her Rotterdam pace after 21 miles. She was fatigued and troubled by an ailing left leg before getting as assist from a downhill run to the finish.
Budig suspends umpire second time in season
BASEBALL
NEW YORK — For the second time this season, baseball has called an umpire out.
American League president Gene Budig suspended John Shulock for three games Friday and fine him an undisclosed amount for overly aggressive behavior, display of temper, inappropriate remarks and physical contact with Tampa Bay catcher Mike DeFelice.
Budig acted on the blowup that occurred in a game between Anaheim and Tampa Bay on Monday.
Earlier in the season, National League umpire Tom Hallion was suspended for three games without pay for allegedly bumping Colorado catcher Jeff Reed and pitching coach Milt May.
PHOENIX — A city just getting used to big-league baseball didn't have any trouble figuring out how to celebrate Friday night as the Arizona Diamondbacks clinched the National League West title.
Diamondbacks grab NL West crown Friday
They hollered "We want the Braves" again and again, a heady challenge to the perennial NL power from Atlanta.
At Jackson's on Third, a popular sports bar a block from Bank One Ballpark, the crowd chanted and cheered as they watched a battery of television screens beam Arizona's 11-3 trumph from San Francisco.
The Diamondbacks are the first baseball team to clinch a playoff berth in just its second season.
Jordan's name yanked from struggling eatery
CHICAGO — No one could upstage Michael Jordan on the basketball court. In the restaurant business, however, the retired superstar is being showed aside by baseball's home run leader, Sammy Sosa.
In a move prompted by declining sales at Jardin's eatery — blamed
Sosa: Name will replace Michael Jordan's at restaurant.
partly on a rift between Jordan and the restaurant's owners — Michael Jordan's Restaurant will become Sammy Sosa's Restaurant. He said the restaurant's initial popularity was due to the fact that fans had seen six championships, several
MVPs and Jordan came in very often.
But that has changed in recent years. Jordan apparently stopped eating at the restaurant after the owners rejected his ideas for making the restaurant more upscale.

McGwire crushes No. 60, trails Sosa by one homer
McGwire's solo shot in the eighth inning off Cincinnati's Scott Sullivan made him the third player to hit 400 homers in a decade. Babe Ruth had 467 in the 1920s and Jimmie Foxx had 415 in the 1930s.
CINCINNATI — Mark McGwire hit his 60th homer Sunday afternoon, adding his name to a couple more record book categories.
Just as he did last year on his way to a record 70 homers, McGwire hit No.60 off the Reds.
Last year, McGwire hit No. 60 off
Reds reliever Dennys Reyes, keeping him just ahead of Sammy Sosa in the two-man home run race. The Chicago Cubs outfielder occasionally caught up with but could never surpass McGwire, finishing with 66 homers.
This time, the St. Louis first baseman was the latecomer.
Sosa hit No. 60 eight days earlier at Wrigley Field, becoming the first ever to hit 60 twice. McGwire joined him and moved to within one of Sosa for the major league lead.
McGwire has been limited by a sore back and a strained groin in September. He had an unimpressive
round of batting practice before Friday's game — several high, arching shots that barely cleared the walls, but none that made the several thousand fans marvel — and was 0-for-6 with a pair of walks as the Reds won the first two games in the series.
He was swinging better Sunday. He flew out to the warning track in right field in the first inning against Juan Guzman, then popped out in his next at-bat and doubled to right.
McGwire hit the first pitch from Sullivan for No. 60 with two outs in the eighth, cutting Cincinnati's lead to 4-2.
it was noteworthy that he got No. 60 in Cincinnati, the place where he's been less than a home run king. He finally got his first career homer at Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy Field last July 22, connecting off reliever Danny Graves in the ninth inning.
McGwire is 7-for-38 with four singles, a double and two homers in 51 plate appearances in Cincinnati, a span that includes the 1988 All-Star game and the 1990 World Series.
His homer Sunday extended his record for homers in a two-season span to 130. It was the 517th homer of his career.
