HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
Your future looks secure through a combination of hard work and good luck. You'll find a good source of income in June, so have the courage to go for it. In August, confidential information could lead you to make a good deal. In September, the work is intense but not altogether unpleasant. In November, there's a conflict with authority, but try to keep to its yourself.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
They say if you do what you love, the money will follow, and this is a great day to find out because it's a super day for doing what you love. Go ahead and share your talents with someone who can help you sell them if you can't do it all by yourself.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 7.
Your natural talents are greatly enhanced by conditions in effect now. In fact, it might seem as if everything is possible, and maybe it is, but reality is still in effect, so you'll still have to play by the rules. You're lucky, but you're not that lucky.
Cancer (June 22- July 22); Today is a 5.
It looks as if you could have a bit of a hassle today — some kind of conflict between work and home. You could get good news about a loved one who's far away, however. A visit, perhaps?
Leo (Julv 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 7.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 7.
It looks as if your friends and relatives have been trying to tell you something, but the message may not be getting through. Well, today they could gang up on you just to make sure you're paying attention. Don't argue. Instead, follow the path with heart.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
Virgo (August, 25-Sep. 22): Today is G. O.
Your career, your income level and the work you do are all linked together in a very favorable configuration. What does this mean? It means you ought to be doing the job you love because if you are, you'll be making a lot of money at it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 7.
Someone you know who doesn't hold anything back could come on kind of strong today. You could get your feelings hurt, but don't. This person is actually trying to help, in his or her awkward way. If you catch heck from a friend, don't snap back.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
It looks as if there could be a knock-down, drag-out fight today between you and your partner. You want to have it your way. The other person wants it his or her way. How are you ever going to come to an agreement? Have love prevail, and everybody wins.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 7.
It looks as if there could be an argument going on out there. You're not directly involved, but you could act as a referee, and you'd be very good at it. Just make sure they keep playing by the rules, and no hitting below the belt. If they stick to the facts and stop the name-calling, they might even wind up good friends.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
Today is excellent for career, work and even money.
Are you already doing the job you love? If so, you're in luck, but it probably took some effort on your part, too. You had to be in the right place at the right time and be willing to do what needed to be done.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 7.
You're just making your life look easy, and for some people that seems practically impossible. You probably know a couple of them. They're struggling nearby, hassling with one another about petty details. Try not to make them feel any worse than they already do.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
This is a pretty good day to ask for a raise, especially if you've been working overtime or have some other reason to bolster your claim for more money. It's also a good day to buy stuff for your home, or for somebody who lives there with you.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7.
This day should be very interesting. It looks as if you're learning from a lot of different sources. Your friends are giving you good feedback and several excellent ideas, and a person you love is also involved in telling you how to run your life. Just listen and learn, from whoever wants to teach you.

Softball player chosen as pitcher of the week
Kansas pitcher Sarah Workman was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week for the week of April 19-25. Workman had two victories and a save in 24 2/3 innings of work.
The right-handed Workman had four appearances and compiled a 2-1 record while recording a 0.57 ERA. She had 22 strikeouts, posted her 15th win and third save of the season and led the conference in saves.
Included in her two victories was Workman's eighth shutout of the season in a 1-0 win against No. 18 Texas A&M. In her save against No. 11 Texas, Workman finished the final 2/3 innings after entering in the fifth with runners on second and third and one out. Workman struck out the next two Longhorn batters, getting Kansas out of the jam. Workman is 15-11 on
the season with a 1.28 ERA, the sixth best ERA in the Big 12.
Workman continues to climb the Kansas records as well. Workman is fourth in career appearances (11.8), innings pitched (694) and victories (57). She is third in career strikeouts (558) and fifth in career shutouts (22).
Workman's performance helped the Kansas softball team (25-24, 6:6) earn a fifth place ranking in the Midwest Region.
Kansas swept No. 11 Texas and split with no. 18 Texas A&M.
Kansas has won 10 of its last 15 regional games.
Bob Clarke heard it all during his Hall of Fame career. Now Sandy McCarthy, one of Clarke's players on the Philadelphia Flyers, is accusing Toronto's Tie Domi of using a racial slur about his black heritage in a playoff game.
PHILADELPHIA — It is easy to see that the NHL is not a place for the faint of heart. The best players will do anything to get an edge — bite, spit, snort, and yes, unleash insults that can be personal and sometimes disgusting.
The league began investigating the claim yesterday, forced again to confront the dirty secret that threatens to damage the sport's image right in the middle of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
NHL confronts claim of on-ice racial slur
"Unless you're a black player like Sandy McCarthy, none of us can understand what calling a person that name does to you," said Clarke, the Flyers' general manager who was captain of their last Stanley Cup championship team in 1974.
-Kansan staff reports
After trading shoves and words with Domi during Toronto's 2-1 victory Monday night, McCarthy said the Maple Leafs forward "dropped an N-bomb on me" during a heated exchange in the second period. Officials on the ice and players for both teams said they didn't hear the slur.
Domi denied using it, saying instead that McCarthy had spit in his face.
said. He can say what the man's NHL supervisor John D'Amico contacted Commissioner Gary Bettman and Colin Campbell, league disciplinarian, immediately after the game. McCarthy talked with league officials early yesterday morning and after practice later in the day. Frank Brown, an NHL vice president, said the league was looking into the accusation and had no comment yet.
It appears to be McCarthy's word against Domi's. The only obvious conclusion is that the fourth such incident in two years is hurting the NHL's image.
"I would never use those kind of words, and he knows that," Domi said. "He can save what he wants."
LAWRENCE — After 41 years in coaching, Dick Purdy says he no longer has the dedication that won him six state championships and made him the winningest active high school football coach in Kansas. So he's moving away.
"Every Lawrence High football team since I've been here has gotten my absolute 120 percent effort in getting ready for the next season. I was putting things off," Purdy said.
Lawrence coach retires from football at age 65
So he's stepping away
Purdy retired Monday as coach at Lawrence High School, where he won five of those championships in nine seasons and finished with an 84-17 record. He ends a 41-year high school coaching career with a record of 270-138-5.
Purdy, who turned 65 on April 11, said he hadn't been doing the little things to prepare for the upcoming season.
"This winter we went to a lot of clinics because we want to pick up something new, I wasn't paying attention," Purdy said. "And I go through each game film (from the previous season) and re-scout it. It's April, and I'm on the third game of the season."
Kansas. He coached at Chanute and Shawnee Mission West in Kansas and at Lee's Summit, Mo., before taking the Lawrence job in 1990.
Purdy led the Lions to state championships in his first four years and to another in 1995. Lawrence went 12-0 in 1992 and 1993 and had a 35-game winning streak that started in 1991 and ended in 1994.
Purdly started his coaching career in 1956 at Chetopa in southwestern
Rams ponder signing former Missouri back
West set a Tigers single-season rushing record last season with 1,578 yards. He was on the Rams' draft board but wasn't taken because of a stress fracture in his right foot.
Rams vice president of personnel Charley Armey said that if West could pass a physical Friday — or if it is determined he can pass a physical in the near future — he may be signed as a fullback.
Late last week, Rams' coach Dick Vermell called West's father, Mike Bowby, to tell him of plans to bring West in for a physical.
ST. LOUIS — Devin West may get a crack at pro football in his own home state.
"I was pretty excited when Coach Vermell called." West said.
The St. Louis Rams are considering signing the former Missouri star, who was not selected in the recent NFL draft and in the subsequent rash of undrafted free-agent signings.
West had expected to be drafted but knew his foot injury would be a factor. He figured it would knock him further down in the draft but not out of it complete!
West expects he'll need surgery to repair the foot. A physician told him it would require about six weeks of recovery, followed by rehabilitation. Such a schedule could put him in jeopardy of not being well enough by the start of training camp in July, but West said he would play if he could.
