HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 12).
Kathy's birthday is 21.
Accept advice this year from a practical person who loves you. A gentle woman will let you know when it's time to slow down. As a strong leader, you'll learn how important it is to listen. Acknowledge your teammates and win a very special prize: their trust.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
Make up your schedule for the coming year. What do you want to create?
Putting it down on paper is a start. However you do it, that's what today's all about.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
You're rock-solid and steady. That can't be said for everybody you know. A more volatile person depends on you now. Be calm, cool and collected, or at least pretend that you are.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.
Somebody you know is doing something about it, taking action to make the world a better place. They could use your help.
Get involved!
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5. You and your friends know that all will be well, and you're right, so go along with the plan that's presented. Later on, you can offer your own suggestions to make it better.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 9.
You are HOT! Be bold! Take new ground! Be bold in the Marines! You've done the calculations already, so you're not taking much of a risk. This is a done deal.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22). Today is a 6.
Tempers are short, especially concerning money. Not yours so much as other people's. If your job involves their savings, proceed with caution. Same advice if you're in charge of the household account.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8.
Let somebody else's enthusiasm light a fire under you. They've got a passion, you've got a way with words. Together, you can accomplish great things.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
All work and no play makes anybody
dull, but don't worry. You're almost past
the worst part. Tomorrow will be much
better. Make this effort count!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an #.
You could fall madly in love today without much effort. It could be with the perfect person, a person who stands on his or her own two feet and doesn't lean on you.
Capricorn(Dec. 22-Jan.19).Today is a 5.
There's no point in arguing with somebody who's not listening. Besides, you should never get in the way of people who are busy making fools of themselves. Let them finish the job.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8.
Again, you're so immersed in your
research that you forget all about
practical matters. It looks like the money is
still coming in.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Untold riches can be yours, but how?
It's not a prize. More like a gift from a
kind benefactor. Could be for work
already done, or promised in the future.
If you don't have a high-paying job,
apply now.
Rowers look to bounce back from opener in Knect Cup
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas rowing team travels to Camden, N.J. this weekend to compete in the Knect Cup.
this weekend to compete Kansas is coming off of a disappointing season opener at home on March 30 in which all four of its boats lost to Big 12 Conference rival Texas.
Competition at the Knect Cup won't make it easy for the Jayhawks to rebound. The schools racing at the regatta — Tennessee, Boston College, Navy, Temple, Villanova and Massachusetts—have each raced more than Kansas has this season.
Kansas coach Rob Catloth said he was confident that his team would have a better time at the Knect Cup because his rowers had learned from their previous mistakes.
mistakes. "We found out some things about ourselves against Texas." Catloth said. "We've been practicing with different race patterns all week. We're trying to remain at a steady speed throughout our races."
"We fell apart mentally a few weeks ago. We knew we could have done better," she said. "I think the key this weekend is to focus on our race and not worry about anybody else."
Junior rower Jen Van Ruyven said the Jayhawks needed to get their confidence back.
This weekend's racing format will be different from that of the Jayhawks' season opener. There will be no overall winner at the Knect Cup.
teams will compete in heats tomorrow morning followed by the finals in the afternoon. On Sunday, the top five teams from Saturday's races in each event will compete against each other, while the bottom five teams will do the same.
Kansas will race four boats at the regatta — the first varsity eight, second varsity eight, third varsity eight and a varsity four-boat.

Tennis team takes on Nebraska
The Kansas tennis team will head to Lincoln, Neb., with an 11-match winning streak to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 10 a.m.

Kansas leads the all-time series 18-7 against Nebraska but lost in a close 4-3 match last year.

The jahawks are fresh off of completing an undefeated season at home with wins against Missouri and Iowa State.
Freshman Aurelie Bejar and sophomore Courtney Steinbock have received the past two Big 12 player of the week awards.
Steinbock is on a 10-match winning streak at No.3 singles while Bejar is on a 11-match winning streak at the No.5 position.
The Jayhawks have a 14-3 record on the season and a perfect 8-0 record in the Big 12.

SOCCER Chastain returns to women's U.S. team

BASEBALL

Griffey's recovery ahead of schedule

PRO GOLF Love III leads pack after one round
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Augusta National didn't yield the leaders everyone expected after the first day of play.
On what might be the players' easiest day all week on the longer, more difficult course, Davis Love III shot a mistake-free 5-under 67 and took the lead yesterday after one round.
Love, who hasn't finished higher than 16th all year, had his best opening round ever in the tournament, although it wasn't the kind of scoring that typically accompanies such friendly conditions.
"The soft greens definitely helped." Love said.
It allowed players to go after some flags, although most of them still tiptoed around a course where nine of the holes have been lengthened, bunkers have been stretched, tees have been shifted to sharpen the doglegs and trees have been planted to catch errant drives.
Sergio Garcia birdied three straight holes and tied Love for the lead, but missed a 3-foot putt on the 18th hole, giving him a 68 and placing him in a tie with Angel Cabrera of Argentina.
It was Garcia's best round at Augusta, and he gave himself even higher marks considering he was hitting a 7-iron into greens where he used to only hit wedge.
"You have to realize that the course was playing softer today," Garcia said. "The wind was blowing very little, and look at the scores. This is an unbelievable field, so it shows the course ... it's just playing tough."
