HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
You might feel stuck, but it's a temporary condition. Use the time for planning. You're in an analytical frame of mind, most likely. One of your friends definitely is. Kick around a few ideas with that person so you're ready. Things could start moving quickly soon.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
The person who's been giving you such a rough time is about to relent. That's how you so often win, just by outwaiting the other guy. Besides, you learn from their mistakes. Pretty smart. Go ahead and do it again.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
All sorts of exciting new things are in the works, but first, you need to finish old projects. If nothing else, you'll make room on your workbench or in your office. There's a bunch of old stuff you can throw away, too. You hereby have permission.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
If you've been saving for a trip, it's almost time to go. If you haven't been planning, maybe you should be, starting now. Pick a destination that lights you up. Having an exciting goal makes even the boring jobs more fun.
People talk about opportunity knocking, but this time, you're knocking on opportunity's door. It helps to know what you're doing and how much your service is worth. You've got that down, so get out there and sell it!
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Money has never been your major focus. You're always more interested in service. That's a good way to be, especially today when service and money are linked in your favor. And, that's the way it is for you right now.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 7.
A new project is coming soon, at least one. Better finish whatever you're working on as quickly as possible. A new way of doing things can help you be complete, so be open to suggestion.
roaay, the lesson pertains to delegation. The more you can delegate to someone else, the more time you'll have for fun and games. Definitely do that because by tomorrow, you'll be in the mood to play.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Aauarius: Today is a 7.
Everything changes today, some things for the better, some for the worse. The better part is that the obsession with details is about to end. For you that will be an enormous relief. The worse part is that something at home needs to be fixed.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You should be in a creative frame of mind right now, creative and somewhat larcenous. It's OK to charge what you're worth and get it, and right now your talents could bring a pretty penny. Let people know what you can provide for them and cinch the deal.
As you wend through life today, you'll notice a strange juxtaposition of fantasy and reality. You have some great ideas about what you'd like to do, but can you really afford that? Maybe you can. Get real, and maybe you'll make a fantasy come true.
You're getting stronger, and you might attract more attention, which could be rather annoying. People might ask you to do things. In the relative peace and quiet of obscurity, you have time to think. Nice guys only finish last if they don't plan ahead.

Super Bowl ad time to sell at record rates
NEW YORK --- ABC appears to be getting record prices in excess of $2 million for 30-second commercials in January's Super Bowl telecast, up 25 percent from a year earlier.
If the average price winds up at $2 million, it would be the highest average ever for commercials in a TV program, easily eclipsing the Super Bowl record of $1.6 million set last January.

Running back loses leg after dislocating knee
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
DAVIS, Calif. — A running back for the University of California-Davis had to have his lower right leg amputated 10 days after he dislocated his knee in a game.
The dislocation cut off the blood flow to his lower leg and foot. Despite surgery to repair the injury, the lack of blood and oxygen caused irreversible damage, said team physician David Cosca. The 22-year-old Paneno had the surgery Monday.
Sam Paneno played one of the best games of his college career before hurting his knee in overtime in UC Davis' victory Sept. 11 against Western Oregon.
In the game against Western Oregon, Paneno's first start this season, he rushed for 114 yards on 26 carries and scored two touchdowns.
Paneno, a sophomore, transferred to the Division II school from Hawaii last season.
"You talk about college football being such a great game — about people being fortunate to play this game — and then something like this happens," he said.
Coach Bob Biggs said it was the worst injury he'd seen in more than 20 years at UC Davis.
COLLEGE ATHLETICS
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama athletic director Bob Bockrath resigned yesterday, ending a rocky three-year term with the school.
Controversial Alabama athletic director quits
Bockrath, who hired DuBose, chose to punish the coach rather than fire him when he admitted lying about a relationship with a university employee. The school settled a sexual harassment complaint filed by the woman in August and Bockrath cut two years off DuBose's contract.
Alabama president Andrew Sorensen praised Bockrath for developing the school's athletic complex and for following NCAA rules, but said from an administrative and leadership standpoint, a change was needed.
Finus Gaston, Alabama's senior associate athletic director, will fill in on an interim basis. A national search will be launched to find a permanent replacement.
BALTIMORE — The star goalie on the Johns Hopkins lacrosse team has been charged with raping a student at the school.
Sorensen said Bockrath would be assigned other duties until June 30, 2000. He is expected to take sick leave during part of the time to recover from shoulder surgery.

Brian Carcatera was charged Monday with second-degree rape and assault. He was being held on $25,000 bail in the Baltimore Booking Center.
Now that Bockrath is out, the focus turns to football coach Mike DuBose's future.
Carcaterra met the 21-year-old student and her roommate at a bar Saturday, bought a bottle of wine
and suggested they go to the women's apartment to drink it, according to court documents.
COLLEGE LACROSSE
The woman he is charged with rap ing has little memory of the night. However, the roommate said Carcaterra got into bed with the woman and began kissing and fondling her.
According to the documents, the women suspected a narcotic may have been slipped into the wine. Police took two wine glasses from the apartment.
Johns Hopkins representative Dennis O'Shea said Carcaterra's status on the team was uncertain. O'Shea said the player could be expelled if the woman makes a complaint under the school's disciplinary code.
Carcaterra, a senior from Yorktown Heights, N.Y., was a first team All-America. This season, he made the second team after posting a 9.18 goals against average and a .577 save percentage while starting all 14 games.
OLYMPICS
congress attacks IOC and host-city bribes
WASHINGTON — A Congressional leader intends to pursue legislation to end the culture of corruption that pervaded Atlanta's winning bid for the 1996 Olympics.
Rep, Fred Upton, R-Mich., said yesterday his House commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigation
will hold hearings next month on the Atlanta bid and will invite IOC president Juan Antonio
Samaranch to testify. If Samaranch doesn't appear voluntarily, Upton said a suboena was likely.
A report on the Atlanta bid, submitted to Congress last week by former attorney general Griffin Bell, shows clearly that yotes were for sale, he said.

BROOKLINE, Mass.— Apart from deciding what color shirt to wear on what day, the two most important functions of a Ryder Cup captain are to complete 12-man teams with two captain's picks and come up with a winning combination.
Commentary
They could take the following suggestions to really liven the Ryder Cup.
Paul Lawrie and Jean Van de Velde: This would be a great
alternate-shot pairing, the silly Frenchman who squandered the British Open, and the unassuming Scot who benefited from the Van de Velde's follies.
Jarmo Sandelin and Lee Westwood: If there is any contention on the European team, this is it. In the Lancome Trophy last year, Westwood refused to sign Sandelin's card because he thought the Swede's ball moved
at address. Sandelin says it didn't and prevailed. What better way for them to kiss and make up?
Darren Clarke and Padraig Harrington: Clarke is a Protestant from Northern Ireland. Harrington is a Catholic from the Republic of Ireland. Maybe this could bring peace to the Emerald Isle.
Jim Furyk and Tiger Woods: Woods went through a celebrated breakup with caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowan. Now that Fluff is with Furyk, he could romp the fairways with Tiger again.
Loss comes after last week's thrashing
Continued from page 1B
Randall seemed amused by the fact that a team could play so well one week and so poorly the next.
"We did so well last week at Nebraska," he said. "Then we came down here and played poorly. It's funny, but that's the mystery of golf."
Vermeer said that the team could plan on a lot of practice before its next tournament, Randall said.
"There is definitely going to be a lot of practice," he said. "I'm
going to work with some guys on their swing, and we're all going to do a lot of work on the short game."
Though he acknOWl-edged his team's poor play, Randall said that it must say something
about his players, since they played poorly and still finished second.
"Right now, all we have to do is
forget this and focus on our next tournament two weeks from now."
After Vermeer, only three other Jayhaws placed in the top 15. Sophomore Casey Harbour, who played as an independent, shot 222 to take ninth place and Brad Davis and Jake Istnick both shot 225 to tie for 15th.
The Jayhawks will travel to Chicago in two weeks to play in the Windon Memorial Invitational hosted by Northwestern University Oct. 4 to 5.
