HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 4.
There's a new moon tonight, and the emphasis in your life is on work, work, work! There's simply no way around it, so don't even try. In fact, even a momentary lapse of attention could mess things up so badly you'd have to start over. No slack!
Taurus: Today is a 9.
Although there's plenty of love in the air, there may be a problem with the money. You might not have as much as you thought. Even if there's been a downturn, don't worry. What you've got is more valuable than what you've lost — by a long shot.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
There's going to be a surprise today. You can just about bet on that. But what is it? Well, that's the interesting part. A partner and possibly your home are involved. Planning on doing your autumn cleaning? No telling what you'll find!
Cancer; Today is an 8.
Today, the stuff you read will soak into your brain almost verbatim. Consequently, you shouldn't spend the day reading romantic novels, unless you're going to take a crack at writing them. Spend this time wisely. Hmmm. Come to think of it, you might be good at that.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Money is coming in today with hardly any effort on your part. Your biggest problem is to avoid spending it before you get any into the bank. Don't ask your sweetheart for help. You're two of a kind.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
Work is in the way of travel right now, but you can sure make some good plans. You can also draw up an agenda, and a person who you talk to soon may offer you a place to stay. Get serious about this idea and make it happen.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Pay attention to the details today. They could be kind of important. Also, keep information you overhear to yourself. There's no need to pass judgment yet. Just keep gathering data.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
A get-together with friends will be a relaxing way to spend the morning, and besides that, you could catch up on all the latest gossip. There's something new to chew on for a while, and it could affect your recent windfall profits.
Capricorn: Today is a 10.
Details are important today, so pay attention to them. If you're in a job you love, you'll do it perfectly without effort at all. If you're in a job you hate, well, maybe it's time to find a job you love.
Travel may be difficult today, considering it is a Wednesday, but if anybody could make it happen, you could. If not, how about taking a class? You'd ace it. It's easier to do business if you speak the language, by the way.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Have you ever considered playing the stock market? If you don't have enough saved up to get a government bond, start stockpiling pennies. And, not a moment too soon. Real estate's your best investment now, but only take calculated risks.
Pisces: Today is a 5.
Don't get overexuberant today. If you spend too much time goofing off, you could get into trouble. Read "too much" as "any," and you'll be even closer to the truth. A critical person is watching you like a hawk, just to be supportive, of course. Make sure your performance is stellar.
KANSAS BASKETBALL

Pride, a 6-foot-2 guard for/worend, is a two-time All-Big 12 Conference first-team selection and led Kansas in scoring, rebounds, steals, blocked shots and minutes played last season.
The candidates were selected by a vote of the Naismith Awards National Advisor Board of leading basketball coaches, journalists and administrators.
"There is no question in my mind that Lynn Pride is one of the elite players in the country," women's coach Marian Washington said. "She has unbelievable athleticism."

Coach Bob Simmons said he planned to use two quarterbacks this week when the Cowboys play host to Tulsa. Third-year sophomore B.J. Tiger will get the start, followed by freshman Ben Bowling.
Lindsay, who is in his third year as the starting quarterback, was hit while throwing a pass in the second quarter of Oklahoma State's 24-7 victory against Louisiana-Lafayette.
Tiger was 6-of-13 passing for 109 yards against Louisiana-Lafayette, including a 63-yard touchdown. Bowling was 2-of-3 for 19 yards and an interception.
RUNNING
Moroccan shatters his third world record
BERLIN, Germany — Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj broke his third world record of the season yesterday night, shattering the 2,000-meter mark by more than three seconds at the ISTAF meet.
El Guerroju, running alone in the final two laps, was timed in 4 minutes, 44.79 seconds before a cheering crowd of about 30,000 at Olympic Stadium. The previous record of 4:47.88 was set by Nourdinede Morceli of Algeria at Paris in 1995.
Kipeter, the Kenyan-born Dane, and Szabo, the diminutive Romanian, each won at all seven Golden League meets this year to qualify for the big prize.
world records in the mile and 1,500 meters. His 2,000 record was the highlight of a meet in which Wilson Kipketer and Gabriela Szabo split $1 million.
Earlier this year, El Guerouj set
With the crowd cheering him loudly, Kipketer took control of the men's 800 meters midway through the race, then coasted to victory.
"It was definitely a fight with nerves," Kippeer said. "I didn't sleep well at all, but after the starting gun went off everything was OK."
The first person to greet and hug him at the finish line was Szabo.
GOLF
Golfer beats odds, sinks two holes-in-one
LONDON — English gopher Paul Chana has beaten odds of about 13 million-1 by making two holes-in-one in single round.
The 25-year-old amateur carded an ace, his first ever, on the 142-yard first at the Huntercombe Golf Course during a tournament a week ago.
"I was stunned; I was shaking," said Chana, who plays off a four handicap.
The excitement had hardly abated before he held his tee shot on the 179-vard 10th.
"With the first one, I was just flab-basted, he was quoted saying in yesterday's Mirror newspaper. "At the 10th, I walked on to the green and saw my ball sitting in the cup.
"I certainly felt like I'd won the lottery." he said, "It's unbelievable."
The Royal and Ancient, golf's world governing body, quotes odds of 42,952-1 for a golfer to score one ace in a lifetime. To do it twice in one round, you'd have to multiply those odds again — and add some.
The Hole-In-One Society estimated the odds at 13 million-1.
Despite the holes in-one, both at par- three holes, Chana only managed to place third in the competition.
PRO HOCKEY
Reichel to play in Czech if NHL's checks too low
PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Robert Reichel says he will play for a team in the Czech Republic rather than return to the NHL if he can't get the money he believes he deserves.
Reichel, who earned $1.7 million last season, has been seeking a multiyear contract for more than $3 million a season. He was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes by the New York Islanders in March.
Last month, Phoenix general manager Bobby Smith said Richelle wouldn't be playing for the Coyotes next season and that the team was open to reasonable trade offers.
PRO BASKETBALL
Arrest warrant issued for former NBA player
CINCINNATI — An arrest warrant was issued for former NBA player Dontonio Wingfield after he failed to show for his sentencing yesterday.
Wingfield pleaded guilty June 7 to assaulting two suburban Cincinnati police officers during a fight last year at his girlfriend's apartment. He could get up to 18 months behind bars and a $5,000 fine.
Judge David Davis of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court ordered the arrest warrant.
The 25-year-old player spent four seasons in the NBA — one with Seattle and three with Portland. The Trail Blazers released him last year. In August 1998, Wingfield was visiting his girlfriend and got into a dispute. Police said he resisted arrest and broke a finger and tore tendons of one officer.

Texas transfer finds happiness with soccer team
"She was a catalyst. She went in ready to go and was hustling and real intense and got everybody going."
The performance was a typical one for Downing, and it earned her praise from her coaches.
"She brings us together," sophmore midfielder Megheen Walker said. "At our lowest moments, she'll say something that'll bring us together as a team, and if I'm upset
because I am not playing or something, she'll make me look at it in a different, positive way."
Downing said knew a lot about cheering people up.
"I just love people and love getting to know them," she said. "I hope people see a fun-loving person. I don't take
myself seriously, and I don't want other people to take me seriously."
Downing has left her mark on her teammates through her presence and her attitude, but she hopes her teammates will remember her for more than that.
"I hope they remember me as being a good friend to everyone because that's really important to me, and letting everyone on the team know how much I care about them." Downing said. "They're my best friends in the whole wide world. I want them to know how important
