HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday
Finish old projects this year. Some don't have to be done, so scratch them off your list. You'll be amazed at how confident you become once you stop feeling guilty. Take charge of the situation in May. Your experience gives you the edge. Instead of taking a new route in July, head down a familiar path. Pay attention to prices this summer and fall so you'll know a good deal when you see one this winter. Stick to your position in February, even under pressure. People are talking about you in April, and they're saying nice things.
Aries: Today is a 5.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Taurus: Today is a 9.
The clump of planets and sun in Taurus mean money for you. It's coming in, but you might not be able to keep it. Now, you're supposed to be pretty smart. Use those brains to hold onto what you've already accumulated.
You may feel like you should be doing something right now. You don't want to change, however. You're comfortable. Well, if you get out of that com fort zone for a while, you may discover a way to put your mind to rest. Action is required.
Gemini: Today is a 3.
You may have an opportunity to gather with talkative friends. Usually, you'd accept, but today you may feel like hiding out. A prayerful retreat wouldn't be a step backward. It could help you decide which route to take when you race forward again.
Cancer: Today is a 9.
You may notice you're getting over your shyness. There are lots of interesting things to do, and you want to be in the middle of the action. You might even be chosen for a leadership position. Get used to it! People like your fresh ideas.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Imagine a huge mudslide is blocking your career path. If you're clever enough to find a way around this difficulty, you may look back on this phase as one of the pivotal weeks in your life. Nobody said it would always be easy.
Virgo: Today is a 9.
If you want to invest in yourself, look for ways to fund it with other people's money. An opportunity could arise, requiring you to travel. Or, you may need to get more education. Don't just decide you can't afford it. Seek financial backing.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is a 9.
Right now you should study ways to make your money grow. Figure out what will work best for you. Ask other people for advice, but don't just rely on their judgment. You're liable to be good at this once you learn how to do it.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
A powerful, yet practical, person is the best type to have in your life, and one could be nearby. You'll know if the two of you would make the perfect pair. If you would, he or she will be banging your door down, ready to get started!
You're up for a busy day. Squeeze in a few moments for yourself and your true love. The rest of the time, you'll hustle just to keep up with demand. The work's plentiful; a routine makes it doable. Stop arguing with success and follow your plan.
Capricorn: Today is a 9.
You may want to stay home and play. If you've worked enough overtime, you might be able to do that. You can always be counted on to go the extra mile for others. Today, however, you may be forgiven if you place your needs first. Ask.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You are intelligent, but today you could be awe-
some. You've been thinking carefully, as usual,
before making a big decision. This is good. Make
sure what you do is best for your family. And, if you
can do it from home, so much the better.
Pisces: Today is a 9.
Let others know what you've been doing and what you want to do next. If you don't quite know how to do the next job up, don't worry. You'll learn quickly. If you're motivated, dedicated and focused on your goals, you can't lose.

HOCKEY
United States claims world hockey game
ST, PETERSBURG, Russia — Goalie Bob Esch turned in the best performance of his career as the United States upset Russia 3-0 last night at the World Hockey Championships in a game that ended with fans pelting the ice. It was the second biggest shutout loss for a Soviet or Russian team in

well. Their win was well-deserved."
"We knew we had to win, and that was pressure on our minds," Yashin said. "The U.S. team used that very
well. Their win was well-deserved." Before a sellout crowd of 12,350 in the new ice Palace, Jason Blake, Phil Housley and Dave Legwand scored for the Americans, who had only three practices before the championships.
Only 13 NHL players accepted invitations to play for the U.S. team. The rest are minor leaguers, collegians and European-based players.
ATLANTA — Three previous assault charges against NFL star Ray Lewis cannot be used against him in his murder trial, but evidence taken from his home can, a judge ruled yesterday.
Evidence, not charges will affect linebacker
NFL
But defense lawyers Ed Garland and Don Samuel said the assault charges, which Lewis denies, were not relevant. The judge agreed, ruling that they weren't similar enough to the charges Lewis now faces.
The assault charges against the Baltimore Ravens' linebacker, all of which were dropped, stem from cases in 1994 and 1995 in Miami, and in December 1999 in Baltimore. In all three, Lewis was accused of hitting a woman. Prosecutors argued that the cases should be admitted because they demonstrate Lewis' "intent, bent of mind and course of behavior" when faced with a dispute.
"it's the same argument of, 'If he did it before, he'll do it again,'"
Judge Alice Bonner said.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Lewis and co-defendants Joseph Sweeting and Reginald Oakley are accused of stabbing two men to death after a Super Bowl party in Atlanta on Jan. 30.
Lewis maintains he was a peace maker during the street fight in which Jacinth Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24, were killed. Lewis is free on $1 million bond.
Millions may miss Derby because of TV disputes
HORSE RACING
NEW YORK — The stretch run of ABC's 26 years of Triple Crown coverage could be offlimits for millions of viewers.
If the sides don't settle their differences by Saturday, 3.5 million cable viewers in seven markets, including New York City and Los Angeles, won't be able to see the Kentucky Derby unless they rig their TVs to get an ABC station the old-fashioned way — through an antenna.
A dispute between the Walt Disney Co. and Time Warner Inc. over transmission rights left seven Disney-owned ABC stations off local cable systems as of yesterday.
"It's something we have no control over," said Karl Schmitt, senior VP of Churchill Downs Inc., which owns the track and the Derby itself. "We're hopeful it all will be resolved before Saturday at 4:30, when the show goes on the air."
ABC's long association with thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown ends after this year's series, when its current contract expires. Last October, NBC outbid ABC and signed a five-year deal, worth a reported $51.5 million, to televise the Kentucky Derby, Preamness and Belmont Stakes.
Missing superstars return to practices
NBA
PHOENIX — Tim Duncan and Jason Kidd, the missing superstars in the San Antonio-Phoenix first-round series, are back practicing with their teams.
The chance that either would play tonight in Game 4, however, was somewhere between uncertain and unlikely.
Trailing 2-1 in the best-of-five series, the defending NBA champion Spurs must win on the Suns' homecourt or they're out of the
playoffs.
Duncan, due to become one of the most coveted
ree agents when the season ends, was cleared for a full contact workout with the Spurs yesterday.
Suns player receives Sixth Man honors
Rogers, who signed a free-agent contract with Phoenix for the $2 million exception allowed above the salary cap, averaged 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game for the Suns.
PHOENIX — Rodney Rogers, whose career had faded in four unhappy years with the Los Angeles Clippers, won the NBA's Sixth Man Award yesterday in his first season with the Phoenix Suns.
He was an important offensive weapon for a team decimated by injuries throughout the season. Rogers was the
only Phoenix player to appear in all 82 games. 75 as a reserve.
Rogers was the overwhelming choice for the award, receiving 104 of a possible 121 votes from a panel of sports writers and sportscasters.

Kansas City club is a haven for those seeking excercise, fun
Continued from page 1B
The only sport Love has participated in thus far is bowling, although she said she wanted to give volleyball a try.
However, she relishes the social aspects.
"Socializing is the fun part," Love said. "My bowling score really reflected that."
Some social events offered by the club, in addition to happy hours and traveling trips, are quarterly outings and involvement with local charities. For example, the club took a bus of members to the Kansas City Royals opener and has helped out such charities as KC Cares and Habitat for Humanity.
The lower price also offers an incentive. Anybody who wants to join can do so for $30 — $10 less
In addition to hanging out with league members away from club events, Love also has enjoyed the happy hours that the club sponsors at area Kansas City bars. The next happy hour is May 19, at Harlings at 3941A Main Street, Kansas City, Mo. Cost is $8 for members, and $10 for non-members.
And although the club provides plenty of variety, its most simple goal is to bring back the joy of pick-up games and intramurals and allow young people to get together. Chris said the club was much
Chris said the club was much more enjoyable than intramurals.
than the usual price — any time during the week of May 15.
Members receive a $10 discount in all leagues, as well as deals at happy hour functions.
"This is more consistent since people were graduating or becoming to busy for intramurals," he said. "Here you get to meet people over and over again and develop friends and rivalries."
And many of those people he has met through the club have been Kansas graduates or supporters, although he said he did not know them while in Lawrence.
Chris Finkulet, senior, already has become involved with the club. Finkulet met with a club representative at the Career Fair in January. She now helps the club with its spring softball league that plays on Sundays.
"There are more professional-type people involved here," she said. "I would really like to get a full-time job with them. You don't
really have to be a sports expert; it's a very sociable, personable kind of job."
And jobs still are available for anyone interested, Josh said. The club is looking for interns, while part-time positions are available in all cities the club is located in. Students with sports marketing degrees have an advantage, but it is not a necessity.
Finkulet, a sociology major, thought it was her personality that got her the job.
Kansas Sport and Social Club for anyone ages 21-34

"They really tried to get to know me first," she said. "The goal here is to get to know people and to have fun."
And for a club that caters to young professionals,fun is an integral part.
"Our national average is 27-year-olds, but in Kansas City it is around 25," Josh said. "And we're getting a lot younger."
