HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
Financial stress could spur you to take action this year. That's OK. It could help you to become wealthy. In April, you can see what you want, but you can't quite reach it yet. By May, the path should be more obvious, but you start running into problems. One of those develops in August, and another in November. Use them to motivate yourself to work harder. In December, things get relatively easy, but by January, there's a test. Be prepared. In February, the worst is definitely finished, and by March, you'll have a whole new point of view, and possibly a whole new status.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 4.
Circumstances that seem beyond your control could force you to take action. That's what it feels like, anyway. Actually, you're the one who got yourself into this position.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 6.
If you're traveling today, take care. There will be delays, and they're not all your fault. Somebody else's impatience could cause you to off sched ule. You absolutely have to get there on time.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 5.
The important thing to remember today is that you need to be practical. It'll be a lot more fun to be wildly impetuous, but that's not going to work out anywhere near as well for you. It'll be a lot more fun for a while.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 4. There's almost too much opportunity to suit you today. You might feel overwhelmed. Don't try to manage it all by yourself. You need a good partner with skills complementing your own. Nurture one.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
Ignore a friend who's trying to talk you into playing hooky. Today it's really not a good idea. The workload is pretty intense, and you sure are looking for a break, but look ahead just a little further.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
Somebody else's emergency could get in the way of your plans for today. If it weren't for that, everything would be tranquil, easy and maybe even a little boring. Not much chance of that happening, though.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23); Today is a 4.
Two very enthusiastic people could clash
mightily today, but you're not afraid. You go
right into the middle of the battle armed only
with your wit and charming smile.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 6.
You're learning quickly today, and that's a good thing, because you need to learn as fast as you can to keep up with a demanding schedule. There's also a demanding person who's about to drive you crazy.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
If you run into the same old criticism today,
relax. Instead of fighting back, look to see
what you could give up. Not your point of
view, of course, by maybe the tension in your
body. Your smile is contagious.
Capricorn (Dec, 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
Looks like good things are coming your way eventually. It may not seem like that right now, however. Instead of resisting a change that seems imminent, see if you can manage it instead.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
You're in a bit of a crunch today, most likely.
Looks like there's a lagjam. Somebody's yapping at you to move more quickly, but that might not be possible, unless you try something different. Go for it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
Friends and loved ones may be kind of hard to tell apart today. Several people you know fit into both categories. That's good, because you can have plenty of support to get through a tough assignment.

Vaughn sprains ankle in first game as Angel
Next for the Jayhawks will be the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic, April 11-13 at Norman, Okla.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Welcome to the club, Mo. The jinck club known as the Anaheim Angels.
It took Mo Vaughn more minutes to initiate himself as a member of the
Cleveland dugout for a foul pop, tumbled down the steps and sprained his left ankle.
His next time at-bat, the Angels first baseman hit a fly to left and crumpled in a heap in the batter's box, his ankle giving way. Then he told manager Terry Collins he couldn't go any more.
After a few moments, Vaughn got from the dugout floor, made it up the steps and onto the field. But he was limping.
"No one likes to go to the hospital," he said. "A lot of things go through your mind on the drive."
By the time Troy Glaus hit an RBI double in the eighth for the go-ahead run in Anheim's 6-5 win Tuesday, Vaughn was at the hospital being X-rayed.
"Fracture" was probably one of those things. But the X-rays were negative and the diagnosis was a sprain.
It's a possibility he will miss a few days," he said. "We're lucky, but sprains can be no fun. Sometimes a sprain can be almost as bad as a break."
Collins is accustomed to players getting hurt in weird ways.
"I won't commit until I know for sure, but I guarantee you it won't be too long," said Vaughn, who went 0-for-2 in his debut after signing a six-year deal with the Angels during the winter.
Vaughn doesn't know how long he will be sidelined.
"There are 161 more games and the most important thing is it's not broken and we've got a win."
ATLANTA — Howard Milstein withdrew his $800 million bid to buy the Washington Redskins yesterday when it became apparent his group lacked support from NFL owners.
Milstein withdraws bid for Redskin ownership
The league's finance committee failed to recommend approval of the sale, voting 3-3 with one abstention after a 4 1/2-hour meeting.
Milstein, a New York real estate developer and part-owner of the NHL's Islanders, then addressed all
the owners before announcing his withdrawal.
"In the end we complied with all the league's stated requirements and agreed to all of the league's additional conditions," he said. "But we recognize that a protracted, contentious dispute over ownership would cripple the Redskins and harm the community at a time when the team must focus on rebuilding for the future."
Milstein's withdrawal came after months of juggling finances and weeks of intense lobbying to gain control of one of the NFL's high-profile clubs.
The league expects Milstein's partner, Daniel Snyder to form another group and launch a bid, leading to yet another round of bidding.
rejected by the owners in a bid for an established franchise. While it's been difficult to project the way the owners
His withdrawal allowed him to escape the likely scenario of becoming the first prospective buyer
vote on anything from instant replay to expansion, it appeared Tuesday night that Milstein and Snyder did not have the votes from 24 of the 31 owners.
For now, team president John Ken Cooke, son of the late Jack Kent Cooke, will continue to run the team, retaining coach Nov Turner and general manager Charley Casserly.
Several free agents said they were wary of signing with the Redskins because of the uncertainty, and the players under contract want the matter resolved.

Past NCAA stars missed chance

But for every guy like Garnett who can handle the early transition, there's several like Scotty Thurman. Thurman got cocky after a national championship his junior year at Arkansas, declared for the draft, even hired an agent. Just one problem: He wasn't drafted and hasn't been heard from since.
players to list in this column. But there always seemed to be enough early entrants who enjoyed NBA success to convince underclassmen to try their luck in the draft.
Early entry has hurt too many
It was hurting players such as Thurman who could have enjoyed fruitful pro careers with a year or two more of playing for free, and it was hurting college basketball, which was being deprived of its stars.
And just when it seemed like
everybody — my roommate even announced his draft-availability in a high school column his senior year — was leaving college early, here comes El-Amin and his national championship and announcement that he will try it all again next year.
It's not going to bring college basketball back to the excitement of five years ago, but it is a start.
Mellinger is a Lawrence, junior in journalism.

As a sophomore, she won the Big 12 Indoor Championships, then placed third at the NCAA Championships, earning All-American honors for the second straight year.
for the second weekend at the Texas Relays she set a school, conference and meet record with a vault of 13-1/2. It automatically qualified her for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in June in Boise, Idaho.
"That was because she was 5 feet tall until she was 15." Paula Branson said.
Not bad for an athlete who had not competed in an organized sport until ninth grade.
During her freshman and sophomore years or high school, Branson grew seven inches and started to dominate in track. She won the state triple jump title as a senior and was named the
Kansas City Star's 1997 female athlete of the year.
She had planned to attend Johnson County Community College until an opportunity at Kansas came along.
"Coach Attig is the reason that I'm here. He's a great coach and a great man," she said. "Fun too."
Branson said practices were challenging but never boring, mostly thanks to Attig.
"He seems like a serious guy, then you watch him for five minutes and he'll do something funny. It keeps practice enjoyable," she said.
She also tries to keep herself humble, and said she hated it when athletes were smug about victory.
"It itks away from the event if you rub it in people's faces," she said.
