HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 29)
Let your creative talents come out this year. Pressure you're under in May causes a change in June. Make plans to build in August and heed an older friend's advice in October. Take action to settle a dispute in November and find the answer to a secret question in December. By February your career should be stable, although different than what you expected. Maybe better, financially at least. Insider information brings abundance next April.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 5.
Group efforts might be thwarted today, but you can find a way around the problem. The breakout has something to do with money, most likely, as in, there’s not quite enough of it to do what you want. But that’s not a barrier. It’s an opportunity to start getting creative.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5
This would be an excellent day to join forces with a person who's powerful, charismatic, compassionate and action-oriented. You have a tendency to get stuck sometimes. Today you need to team up with someone who will push you to take action.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 5
Gemini (May 21- June 21): Today is a 5
You could be sailing along today, thinking you’re invincible, when whapl You run right into a problem you don’t know how to solve. People are asking you to put up or shut up, but don’t lose heart. If you don't know what to do, ask a friend who does.
Cancer (June 22- July 22); Today is a 6
Reschedule your date for tomorrow night. Your place will be more the way you want it to be then. You may not have lots of money by then anyway. Look like you'll probably spend it fixing up your place.
Leo (Julv 23-Aug. 22): Todav is a 5
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5
Looks like there could be a disruption at your house. Is somebody trying to teach you how to see life from another point of view? Too bad. Your mind is already made up. Schedule your mind-altering conversation for another time.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5
Some days you feel pretty smart, but today you may feel like a dummy for a while, because the problem you're up against is outside your area of expertise.
The way you handle the situation is what's important.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 6
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6 Looks like you want to spend some serious money. You're scooting up to the idea, kind of checking things out. Don't make your move quite yet, however. You need to do a little more research.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 6
You're becoming a lot more powerful than you were before. You'll stop fiddling around with minute details and get into making something important happen. And you probably know just what, too. But move slowly.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 6
Looks like something you've been trying to learn
is finally going to click into place. That doesn't necessarily mean things get easier. They could get more difficult for a while, as you start practicing this new skill.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 7 You and your friends could decide to do something outrageous. It could be in a work setting, such as taking on a project bigger than anything you've ever tackled before. Or it could be personal, like the bunch of you going off to the Andes. The first consideration is finances. There's not enough money. Now that you know it, you know what you have to do first.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Today is a 4
Things continue to go your way as you breeze through life, with one minor little exception. Something that's going on at home is all messed up. You, who are so glorious, so wise, can't figure out how to solve this one silly little problem. You know what? You may have to call in an expert. Go ahead and do it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6
This would be a good day to put up provisions for the weekend. Have you got a trip planned? If not, why not? Looks like there will be pretty good conditions for travel, although there are a few minor complications. If you do a little planning ahead, you can minimize those. Doing so is highly recommended.
The Kansas women's golf team signed Heather Rose of Martinsville, Ind., this week.
Women's team signs Indiana all-state golfer
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Rose, a high school senior, has been a part of four state- title teams

and has earned all-state and all-conference honors. Rose and teammate Erin Roe are the only teammates from Indiana to have
won four state titles.
"Heather comes from a long line of outstanding Indiana high school players and from one of the best high school women's golf programs in the state," Kansas coach Jerry Waugh said. "We expect Heather to have an immediate impact on the program, both athletically and academically."
Rose has a 3.97 grade point average and plans to study business and foreign language at Kansas.
Two Kansas golfers honored for academics
Two Kansas men's golfers were named to the 1999 Men's Golf Academic All-Big 12 team.
Junior Brad Davis, a business administration major and the No. 3 golfer for the Big 12 Conference champion Jayhawks, and redshirt freshman Casey Harbour, an undecided major who had the six-highest stroke average for Kansas, were the two honorees.
Davis and Harbour were nominated by the directors of student-athlete services and the athletic media relations directors. Members of the allacademic teams must have posted a 3.0 grade point average either cumulative or during the previous two semesters and be letterwinners.

Winless Wizards hire 1990 World Cup coach
Doug Newman said at a news conference. "He has played and coached at every level of the game in this country, and there is no doubt in my mind that he will instill the confidence our team needs to be successful." Newman said.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Wizards, who haven't won a Major League Soccer game since Sept. 5, have turned to the coach who helped another team break an even loner drought.
Bob Gansler, who in 1990 took the U.S. to its first World Cup since 1950, was named the Wizards' new coach yesterday. That announcement came just before the Wizards lost 1-0 to the Columbus Crew, their fifth shutout loss of the year and their eighth in a 10-game losing streak dat-
Gansler, 57, succeeds interim head coach Ken Fogarty, who had replaced for Ron Newman when Newman resigned April 14. Kansas City was 0-4 with Newman and 0-3 with Fogarty, who coached yesterday's game while Gansler observed the team.
The Wizards (0-7) could use some confidence — and some goals. They've scored just two this year.
Preki Radosavjevic, the team's time leaking scorer with 40 goals in MLS' first three seasons, hasn't scored yet. Neither have forwards Digital Takawira (28 goals in three seasons) and Mo Johnston (23).
Newman led the Wizards to the MLS Western Conference title in 1997 and to the playoffs in 1996. But they slipped to last place in 1998, losing their last three games and finishing 12-20.
SEATTLE — A woman is suing Seattle Mariners pitcher Mark Leiter for $6 million, accusing him of punching her in the mouth, kicking her and putting out a cigarette on her arm during their relationship.
Sheila O'Connell filed the lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Chicago, where she maintains she and Leiter had a relationship from 1996 through September 1997. Leiter pleaded the allege.
Mariner pitcher sued for $6 million by woman
The lawsuit contends that during their relationship, Leiter became jealous of O'Connell's contact with other men and began physically and verbally abusing her.
Leiter "knew that his conduct of throwing Sheila about, punching her in the mouth and face, shaking her head, knocking her down to the ground and kicking her, carried the risk of serious bodily harm," O'Connell's lawyers said in the lawsuit.
"I do know this woman, it's unfortunate she filed this lawsuit. There's no truth to the allegations," he said before Tuesday night's rame in Detroit.
Leiter denied the claims.
The lawsuit also said Leiter extinguished a cigarette on her arm during the affair.
Leiter, who was married at the time,
referred questions to his agent, Alan
Nero, who was in Japan and could not
immediately be reached yesterday for
comment.
Officials still examining beaned ball player case
WICHTA — Missouri Valley Conference officials continued their investigation yesterday into an incident in which a University of Evansville player was struck in the face by a baseball in a game against Wichita State.
Anthony Molina of the University of Evansville was hit as he stood at least 15 feet from home plate in a
game last Friday.
Nomar Garciapara and Jason Varietek each added two RBI for Boston, which avoided being swept at the Metrodome for the first time since 1994. Trot Nixon, Boston's No. 9 hit, homered and scored four runs.
The pitcher, Ben Christensen, has been suspended pending a Missouri Valley Conference investigation of the incident. MVC commissioner Doug Elgin issued a brief statement yesterday saying the investigation was continuing. His St. Louis office said no ruling was expected yesterday.
The Twins hurt themselves with three errors, two wild pitches and a passed ball, as they finished their homestand at 2-5. Minnesota pitchers issued six walks, including three to Nixon.
Rapp (1-1) allowed one run and six hits, while walking two and striking out one in his fourth start for the Red Sox. Both Rapp and Offerman were signed away from Kansas City as free agents this offseason.
Molina has filed assault charges against Christensen, saying the pitcher beamed him on purpose. Molina suffered fractures to three bones around his left eye when he was hit during warmups before the game against the seventh-ranked Shockers in Wichita.
Molina filed assault charges against Christensen with Wichita police. In the police report, Molina noted that he had homered twice off of Christensen in his career, the last of which came one year ago Monday. Wichita State coaches have said the pitch was accidental.
MINNEAPOLIS — Jose Offerman drove in three runs and Pat Rapp pitched six strong innings as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins 9-4 yesterday.
