HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday. You have the power of 10 ordinary mortals this year. Use it wisely! You're awesome in April, if a tad impetuous. Watch where you're going in May. An accident could be expensive. Advice given in secret could help you win in August. Expect surprises around September and October, especially from an opposite-type friend. Travel in early December to miss confusion later. Pass on a get-rich-quick scheme around February. It works better for the other person. Keep a female friend's secret in March.
Aries: Todav is a 9.
You are powerful and probably quite intense. The outcome looks good, so launch into new projects. Take on more than you can handle. Be creative dynamic and outspoken. In romance, be warm, cuddly and sensitive. Do all this, and you're unstoppable.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Secrets, dreams and fantasies are of top importance now. You're being pushed to take action, but it's not quite time yet. You need to do more planning. You can take a trial run, but don't launch on your cruise. Wait until the end of the month for that.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
Teams, groups and organizations are important now. Others are so gung-ho, you may have to shout to be heard. Don't get too pushy in love, however. Take that slow and easy for best results.
Cancer; Today is an 8.
You could feel agitated. If you have a good team, and it looks like you do, you will find all the answers you need. Take a risk. You might not get it, but even if you don't, the exercise will be good practice.
Leo: Today is an 8.
You could be inspired to travel, especially if there's a good game in the neighborhood. You'd rather be a participant than a spectator, of course. You're pretty lucky in love, too. Maybe the two of these concepts could go together.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Libra: Todav is a 7.
Investments, insurance policies and loans require your attention. If you want to travel next month, you'd better plan ahead. If you start now, you might be able to pull it off. Assess what you have and figure out how to make the most of it.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius; Today is a 9.
Too much work needs to be done. The tension is intense. You may be racing from morning to night, with hardly enough time for lunch. Eat a good breakfast and take along something that will keep you calm. Conditions ease tomorrow.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
This could be an exciting day for you. Somebody wants to dominate your life, and you could be interested. You're smart, and the benefits could outweigh the costs. Sometimes you can get what you want more easily through another, and this could be one of those days.
Aquarius; Today is a 6.
This should be another lively, fun and romantic day for you. It is possible to have an interlude on a Tuesday, so give it some thought. Start with a meaningful conversation at your house tonight.
You may have put up with something at your house just about long enough. No point in pretending; might as well come out and say it. If this means your slacker friend has to find another place to stay, so be it. You'll both be better off as a result.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You are smart today. A friend of yours may come up with an unusual scheme, and you love it when that happens. The solution may require an expenditure of money. If so, don't offer to pay it. Let your friends spend their own money. Only give your ideas for free.
You might be able to make a lot of money today. Call up a person who owes you. Then, talk to the boss about a raise or a better job. If that doesn't work, look through the want ads. If you need to learn a new skill, no problem. You can.
CORRECTIONS
A photo in yesterday's Kansan misidentified a Kansas baseball player. Pitcher Rusty Philbrick was throwing in the picture, not outfielder Doug Dreher.
A story that ran on March 30 incorrectly stated that the Kansas baseball team has committed 123 errors this season and 396 last season. The correct figures are 46 this season through the Missouri series two weekends ago, and 105 total for last season.

BOSTON — The second malpractice trial against Reggie Lewis' doctor began yesterday with accusations of cocaine use that threatened to dominate just as they did in the deadlocked trial last year.
The attorney for his doctor Gilbert Mudge said the doctor was unable to diagnose Lewis' problem at first because the former Boston Celtics
star hid his history of
Reggie Lewis' doctor to begin second trial
cocaine use. Mudge said Lewis admitted on July 12, 1993, to using cocaine, William Dalley
said, two months after he first sought Mudge's care and two weeks before he dropped dead while shooting haskets.
Lewis collapsed during a 1993 NBA playoff game, and a "Dream Team" of a dozen doctors diagnosed the problem as a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia. But Lewis and his wife were unhappy with the doctors and transferred care to Mudige.
Lawyers for Lewis' widow, Donna Harris-Lewis, denied that Lewis used drugs.
Mudge publicly pronounced Lewis fit to play basketball "without limitation." Two months later, Lewis collapsed at the Celtics' practice building and died.
Harris-Lewis originally sued four doctors for malpractice. John D, Rutherford, of the University of Houston, settled the lawsuit out of court in April 1999 for a reported $500,000; two other doctors, Mark A. Creager and Peter L. Friedman, were exonerated last year after a seven-week trial by the same jury that deadlocked on the claims against Mudge.
Bronco cornerback faces drug suspension
NFL
DENVER — The agent for Denver Broncos cornerback Dale Carter defended his troubled client but refuted a report that Carter would be suspended for one year for violating
the NFL's substance abuse policy.
The Denver Post reported Sunday that Carter, who signed a four-year, $22.8 million contract with the Broncos last summer, faces suspension for being a four-time offender. Two of the violations reportedly stem from failing to submit to drug tests, which is considered failing a test under NFL rules.
"I'm not getting into that," said agent Mitch Frankel when asked if Carter missed tests. "It's confidential information. All I'm saying is he didn't test positive for drugs in January or February."
If Carter is suspended, the Broncos would face a moral dilemma that could hurt them financially. Because Carter received a $7.8 million signing bonus, at least $5.14 million would count against the salary cap if they cut Carter.

The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — Aboriginal leaders warned yesterday of violent protests at the Sydney Olympics because of a government report that played down the harm caused by a long-time policy of taking Aboriginal children from their families.
"It's not for me to say there will be or won't be violence," said Geoff Clark, chairman of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, the country's main indigenous organization. "The fact is that violence is a part of demonstrations. What you need to do is able to contain that, suggest to people that there shouldn't be violence. I would hope people would heed those suggestions."
For months, Aboriginal protesters have said they would use the Sept. 15-Oct. 1 Olympics and the intense media attention the games generate to highlight the plight of their people. Until now, however, they had stressed any protest would be peaceful.
That conciliatory mood evapated this weekend following revelations that the government believed accounts of the estimated 100,000 Aboriginal children taken by authorities between 1910 and the 1970s —
known as the "stolen generation" — were exaggerated.
"A generation is all people born around that period," said Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Herron. "It didn't affect all Aboriginal people, and that's the point that I'm making in my submission."
He was talking about a report
OLYMPIC GAMES
sive governments, children were taken from their families in the belief that Aborigines were doomed and saving the children was the only humane alternative. Light-skinned Aboriginal children were given to white families for adoption, while dark-skinned children were put in orphanages.
The government says only 10 percent of Aborigines were affected by the policy.
Clark's comments, although conceding violent protests were possible, were seen as an effort to calm the furious debate sparked by Herron's comments.
The report and Herron's defense of it have plunged the difficult relationship between Prime Minister John Howard's
government and Aborigines to an all-time low.
Howard recently has been under fire for dropping a yearend deadline to achieve reconciliation between Black and white Australia and for refusing to overrule mandatory sentencing laws in parts of Australia that are seen as discriminating against Aborigines.
"These are difficult issues," Howard said. "They are not resolved by sloganeering on either side. They are not resolved by using exaggerated claims on either side of the debate."
But while describing the policy of separating families as unacceptable and distasteful, Howard also said Herron's report was accurate.
Lowitja O'Donoghue, chairwoman of an Aboriginal advisory committee set up by Sydney Olympics organizers, said Aborigines should protest at Australia's parliament.
"I think it matters not whether it was a generation, (or) whether it was 10 percent, but the policy was wrong," she said. O'Donghue was taken from her parents when she was 2 years old.
Olympics organizers refused to comment.
