HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday: Save your pennies this year, and you may be able to take another honeymoon. Get your partner to save up, too, and it's a sure thing. You already know where you want to go by April. Put the budget into place in May and stick to it. If the car at the end of your stick is gorgeous enough, you'll be glad to save all summer. As autumn approaches, a controversy brews. Will your date want to go to your favorite spot, or not? Costs may seem too high in November. Make your break in December, with or without your companion. Share your stories with friends in February.
Aries: Today is a 7.
There's a beautiful full moon tonight, but things are changing. This marks the culmination of one phase and the beginning of another. You may decide to make a change in your career, too. You don't always go for the money, but this time it could be wise.
Taurus: Today is a 5.
This might be a good evening for romance — if you think arguments are romantic. Some people do but you might think it's too much trouble. Well, lots of times it is. You will probably win, eventually. That should make it more interesting.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
You'll be pretty successful at whatever you do, at first. As the day progresses, even simple chores will get harder. So, while things are easy, do some planning. Get your tough chews out of the way first thing
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You have a lot of good friends who'd like to spend time with you. A party at your place is possible, but make it a potpuck. Don't spend a bunch of your money on this endeavor. Let the others pitch in too. That'll make it much more fun for you.
Leo: Today is an 8.
Getting what you want is easier in the morning. If you want to talk people into doing things, you'd better do it early. Even you will be more flexible in the morning. Later, you, and everybody else, will be more stuck in your ways.
Virgo: Today is a 5.
Money's on your mind, most likely. It's quite possible you'll be able to make a lot of it, too. Is more education required? Well, that's doable. It may not be easy, but it's certainly possible. Let the hassles motivate you to work harder.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Where's the money coming from? How are you going to spend it? Will your partner or mate help out? You generally do better when working with a partner, but don't delegate all the responsibility. Keep some of that for yourself. It's good for you.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Saaittarius: Today is a 7.
You're going to get stronger as the day and week continue. You may notice changes already. The most intense work phase is giving way to a shared workload. Give somebody else the benefit of your experience.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Friends and group activities are important early in the day. Meet with your group and figure out what you want to have happen next. Tonight's plans are likely to be thwarted, but don't despair. If you can't get together now, you can later.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
This would be a nice evening to get together with close friends. If they can come to your place, great. If you ask them to bring part of the feast, you're even smarter. You don't want to have even more work to do after a tiring day. Share the load.
Travel and higher education look good, but not necessarily easy. You need to increase your knowledge in order to be the enormous success you know you can be. That's true even if you already know a lot. There's more out there!
Pisces: Today is a 6.
Money is your focus. It's a fine day for planning, but not for action. Mechanical breakdowns could make your life difficult. If you can postpone a trip until tomorrow, it'll be much easier. Same thing goes for any other risks you were considering.
KANSAS SOCCER
Soccer player named champion of the year
Dahle, one of three Big 12 athletes from each school to receive the award, started all 19 games last semester for the Jayhawks, and served as team captain. Second on the all-time scoring list with 23 career points, Dahle has been named to three All-Tournament teams and carries a 4.0 GPA. She will graduate in May with a degree in social work.
Kansas senior soccer player Cynthia Dahle was selected the Bank of America Community Champion of the Year yesterday, based on her accomplishments in Big 12 Conference athletics and in the community. Amanda Reves, senior volleyball player, and Risa Petty, senior women's rower, were the other two recipients for Kansas
Dahle spent March of 1999 on an Alternative Spring Break, working in Philadelphia with Americorps and the National Civilian Community Corps, volunteering in elementary schools. She also has worked at the Hilltop Children's center and coached youth soccer teams.
Bank of America made a $3,000 donation to Kansas' general scholarship fund in October and will contribute another $5,000 to the general scholarship fund in conjunction with Dahle's award.

Women's soccer team ends season with losses
The Kansas soccer team came up limping in its final weekend of the spring season.
The Jayhawks lost both games at the St. Louis Tournament in St. Louis, Mo., and concluded the

spring with a 4-2-3 record.
"We played horrendous, absolutely not rendulous — we deserved to lose against Iowa," said Kansas coach Mark Francois. In the second game, the "Hawks lost 2-1 to Indiana. A strong second half kept the game close, but Kansas couldn't catch the Hosiers.
"We didn't do so hot in the first half against Indiana," Francis said. "We finished with a good half, which is good. We didn't win either game, which was a little disappointing, but at least we finished on a good effort in the second half."

Kansas played with an injury depleted roster in both games. Freshman Nikki Wahle was out with a sprained ankle, and co-captain Katie Lerts missed the entire spring with a fractured ankle. Junior Colleen Colvin also missed the weekend series to attend her sister's wedding.
BOSTON MARATHON
Kenyans sweep race in closest finish ever
BOSTON — Elijah Lagat won the Boston Marathon yesterday in the closest finish in the race's 104-year history, outsprinting two others to give Kenya its 10th consecutive victory. Catherine Ndebere made it a Kenyan sweep, winning the women's race in another close finish.
Lagat won in 2 hours, 9 minutes,

lead and just barely held off Abera. In the 1984 race, Ibrahim Hussein beat Juna Ikangae by one second; the closest three-way finish had been 18 seconds, in 1998, when Tanui won for the second time.
"After I saw Moses leaving, I was trying to fight for the second position, but I found that I was moving closer to Moses." Lagat said. "Then I started to sprint to the maximum that I could make, and that's how I managed to win."
The 10 straight Kenyan victories also is unprecedented. Americans won from 1916-25, but the 1918 race was a relay race.
Jamie Hibell, of Bethlehem, Pa,
was the top American finisher, coming in 24th with a time of 2:22:09.

GOLF
First senior tour win weighs heavy in hand
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Doug Tewell didn't have the same feeling as he approached the 18th green yesterday as he did while winning the 1986 Los Angeles Open.
He didn't have any goose bumps.
He didn't receive quite the ovation.
And his wife, Pam, wasn't around.
It hardly felt like a victory, especially a major. Not until Tewell hoisted the PGA Seniors' Championship trophy above his head did he really understand the gravity of winning his first senior tour win.
"I'd have to rank this as the biggest victory of my career," said Tewell, whose win earned him $324,000. "There's no doubt about it, based on the weight of that trophy for the main thing."
He had no idea how heavy the Alfred S. Bounte trophy was.
Tewell, playing in his first Seniors' Championship, shot a 5-under-par 67 yesterday and finished seven strokes ahead of four others. He became the 12th golfer to win his first senior event at a major championship.
"It just means a great deal to win,
he said. "It just feels good to get in that winner's circle and know you can complete an event."
NBA
Miami Heat's coach nears 1,000-win goal
It has been 11 years since Pat Riley's most recent NBA title. Still, no one suggests the Miami Heat head onhoon can't coach.
By coping well with defeat, Riley
has lasted long enough to approach 1,000 victories, a milestone achieved only by Atlanta Hawks coach Lenny Wilkens.
Riley: Could hit the
10 wins mark,
but may have to wait
until next season
"In this game, with all the stresses and pressures, to be able to win 1,000 games is a huge achievement," said Lenny Wilkens, who is 1,178-
980 (.546) in 27 seasons.
Riley is 998-432 (.698) in 18 seasons. Because the Heat already has clinched the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, its final two regular-season games are meaningless, so Riley may not reach 1,000 until next season. Postseason wins don't count toward the total.
But there no hurry. At 55, Riley plans to coach at least several more years. He'll leave the 1,000 barrier far behind and could eventually surpass Wilkens' win total.
"Pat has been at a top level for a number of years," said Indiana coach Larry Bird, "and one of these days he'll be the all-time winningest coach. I can see it coming."

During the bond hearing in U.S. District Court following Piggie's plea, two people who testified to the grand jury that indicted him said they were threatened by Piggie when they questioned his business dealings relating to the summer program.
One of the men Magistrate Robert Larsen heard from today was Kansas City booster Tom Grant. The indictment says Piggie was given $184,435 by Grant, who was not charged in the indictment.
Grant testified today that when he telephoned Piggie to let him know that the coach had been taped offering money to a player. Piggie denied the charge vigorously and threatened to start a war.
Prosecuters played a tape of the call. In it, a voice identified as Piggie's was heard to say: "If people want to start a war with me, I guarantee one right back. I can do it in such a way that ... I
Grant said he took that as a threat against him and his family.
don't care how much money people got."
Mark Tilford, a Kansas City area upholstery business owner, also testified today that he had paid Piggie $6,000 as part of a deal to sell Nike shoes. He said that when Piggie didn't follow through on the deal, he questioned him and was told several times by Piggie that if Piggie lost his contract with Nike, Tilford would be affected personally.
"I took that as a threat," Tilford said.
Piggie used the access he gained to the players to receive a $425,000 consulting contract and $159,866 in other compensation from Nike, the indictment said. Nike was not charged in the indictment.
Piggie, of Kansas City, paid JaRon Rush of UCLA $17,000; Kareem Rush of Missouri $2,300; Corey Maggette of Duke $2,000; Andre Williams of Oklahoma State $250; and Korleone Young $14,000, according to the indictment.
Young, of Wichita, skipped college to enter the NBA draft. He now is playing minor league basketball.
JaRon Rush has not yet confirmed a report by the Los
Angeles Daily News that he will enter the NBA draft. He and Kareem Rush, his younger brother, both played at Kansas City's Pembroke Hill High School.
Raveling, who testified before the grand jury that indicted Piggie, was not charged.
The Rush brothers and Williams were suspended by their schools for varying periods. Those cases have since been resolved by the NCAA with the Rush brothers each missing nine games and Williams five. Maggette never was declared ineligible in his one season at Duke.
Piggie could face up to 49 years in prison without parole and up to $1.85 million in fines.
The charges included mail fraud, wire fraud, failure to file a federal income tax return and interstate transport of fraudulently obtained funds. He also was charged with illegal possession of a firearm.
Piggie coached the Children's Mercy Hospital 76'ers, an amateur summer league basketball team in Kansas City, which participated in various summer league and Amateur Athletic Union competitions for boys 11-18. He also coached the team after it became known as the Kansas City Rebels.
