HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
Your friends keep you headed in the right direction. Heed their advice in March if you're confused. There's not enough money to do it all in April. Advice is easy to come by in May, but skill still takes practice. Work is required to make progress in August, but a lucky break could help increase your income around December. Schedule a visit with friends for January and finish loose odds and ends next February.
Aries: Today is a 4.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You may find another opportunity soon. Unfortunately, it looks more like a problem. You have to wait. Don't push and try not to get upset. Don't let on how angry you are. Keep looking around for the lesson you're supposed to be learning instead.
The Capricorn moon is merrily shining down on you right now. Your experience could help you avoid a difficult situation today. Your friend isn't quite so lucky. Offer assistance if you can, but meanwhile, cover your own best interests.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You could be undergoing some financial stress. Look for ways to save money. You have to spend some, too, which doesn't help. Keep shopping for the best possible price. And don't feel like you have to bail out a friend. He or she will manage.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You might be able to delegate some of your responsibilities and give yourself a break. You've been dealing with some rather stressful situations, and you've earned as much relaxation as you can manage. Be gentle with a sensitive person, too.
Leo; Today is a 6.
You're still in the mood to play, and there's simply not time for that any more. If you want to stay out of trouble and in line for that big promotion, look sharp. Don't make anybody else have to look for you to get the job done!
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 5.
You have a grand trime in earth signs today. That's good. It helps you be even more competent than you already are. There is something that won't go right, but that's OK. You will most likely prevail, no matter what happens.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Your work should be a little bit easier today, especially if you work out of your home. There may be a bit of a conflict with a partner, mate or perhaps your attorney. The other person wants to do something that you think is a big waste of time. Compromise.
Saaittarius: Today is a 6.
You learn best by doing. If you do that now, you'll be amazed at how quickly your skill level improves. Your job may kind of get in the way, but don't let that stop you. It's quite possible there's a better job, doing something you love, just around the corner.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Money, business, work and you — those are all linked together right now. There's no shortage of money out there, and they're printing more of it all the time. The challenge is to get it into your pocket. Well, it looks like you can if you're willing to go. For it.
There could be a bit of excitement at your house later. Be careful around sharp objects and make sure others do the same. Sharp tongues count, too. Schedule a confrontation for another time. It'll be hard to find a compromise now.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
You have a few deadlines to make, so get busy. If you can push yourself, you could bring in a little extra money. That would certainly be comforting, wouldn't it? Finish up something that's only partially complete, and that will help you feel better, too.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You may suddenly realize you have a whole team on your side. You're not in this alone. That's the good news. The bad news is there's not enough money to do everything you want. Don't go into debt to bail them out. You can generate more if you all work together.

Shawn Kramer, 20, suffered a neurological injury after playing the opening series with the first-team offense during a scrimmage on the Denton campus Saturday. The 6-foot-5-inch, 270-pound junior lineman didn't seem to take a hard hit, teammates said, but he collapsed after reaching the sidelines.
Kramer, a junior college transfer from Topeka, Kan., was taken by helicopter to Methodist Medical Center of Dallas. He was moved to the hospital's Neuro Critical Care wing after surgery.

Oostertag played for the Jayhawk from 1992 to 1995.

"We haven't been hitting to what we're capable of," he said.
"We haven't come up with the key hits. We haven't played good ball."
Kansas, 8-4, will try to improve its swings today when it faces Baker, 0-4, at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark. The 'Hawks lead the all-time series, 46-5, but split the series 1-1 last season.
Along with a varied lineup because of injuries, Randall said he would also use a plethora of pitchers in today's contest.
"During these mid-week games, we pitch a lot of guys," he said. "It's going to be a pitching buffet. Depending on the game, we're going to use some of the younger pitchers so they can get some experience under their belt."
Senior Ryan Schmidt, 2-0, is set to start, but Jim Caine, Sam Gish, Eric Thompson and Jeff Davis may pitch too.

"A lot of guys are itching to get out there because not so many guys have pitched this season," Randall said. "They've all pitched so well that we don't need to take them out. From a pitching standpoint, we've been in good shape. We just need to find our offense."
Baseball Notes:
■ Designated hitter and first baseman senior Shane Wedd is riding a seven-game hitting streak, a career high for the Lawrence native. Wedd, who had three hits in the Creighton series, hit .333 in five games last week, including one grand slam against Texas A&M-Corpus
Christi.
- Pitcher and infielder Brandon O'Neal is likely to return to action during the second week of March when the 'Hawks play Texas. Randall said outfielder Jason Appuhn is likely for this weekend's games against Iowa State.
