HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 10).
You always want to have the right stuff and do the right thing, but how will you know what's right? Luckily, there are books you can read, people you can ask. That quest could become your main passion this year. Let the truth be revealed to you.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Return phone calls and add finishing touchs. Pay back a debt and gather up the money somebody owes you. You'll be exceptionally brilliant tomorrow and the next day. Clear the decks.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
February 26-30 May 19
Consult with friends about how to handle an upcoming task. Several people are barking orders. Which one should you obey? Don't try to serve two masters. Listen to the one who pays your rent.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7. All finally ends well, through some miracle over which you have no control. Consider it a victory anyway. "Control" is a highly overrated concept.
Cancer (June 22- July 22). Today is a 6. Look sharp, and iron something to wear tomorrow. The more crisply you stand at attention, the better the impression you'll make. Again, follow an experienced friend's advice in order to stay on the right side of a stern taskmaster.
On July 23, 2018.
The pace picks up noticeably by tomorrow.
Meanwhile, continue to plan. Don't rush. Your best ideas come from carefully listening and watching. Go slowly now so you that you can eventually go faster.
Virno (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct22). Today is a 7.
it's not a good day to ask for money; it's a good time to ask for work. Advertise so that people know what you have to offer. Your focus? Service.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is
**Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).** Today's **13**
Keep on keepin' on. When you've had just about enough frustration, the goal is achieved. You'll need the help of a strong partner. Don't try to do it all by yourself.
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Slow and easy does it for a while longer. Get
some rest, because you'll have a busy day
tomorrow. Don't overspend on a silly trinket, or
you'll wish you hadn't.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
You can help a loved one solve a tricky problem.
Something you you've read about lately provides the missing link. You'll get to teach.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
The difficulties you've been experiencing could be resolved soon. Instead of getting stuck in an either- or frame of mind, be flexible. Allow your adversary to suggest another option.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
The information you've been taught is almost right, but not quite. You know there's something wrong, something slightly off key. Find it and report it.
Missouri's Kareem Rush plans to enter NBA draft
The Associated Press
COLUMIBA, Mo. — Missouri junior Kareem Rush is expected to announce today whether he'll leave early and enter the NBA draft.
A written statement from the school yesterday said Rush would make his announcement at a news conference, which coach Quin Snyder also will attend. The statement did not offer any specifics as to Rush's decision.
Rush could announce plans to enter the draft but not sign with an agent, allowing him to later decide to return to school. Rush would have to make that decision by June 19, one week before the draft.
Missouri sports information director Chad Moller declined to comment on Rush's impending decision, joking that Rush would probably use the news conference to review a Monday night concert performance in Columbia by rap artist Nelly.
"It's his deal," Moller said.
That's the path taken by former Tiger Keyon Dooling, who left Missouri two seasons ago after his sophomore year. Dooling ended up committing to the draft and was selected 10th by the Orlando Magic, which then traded him to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The 6-foot-6 Rush is a two-time All-Big 12 pick who averaged 19.8 points this season, but struggled at times when facing double-team defenses for the first time in his college career. Rush, however, led the 12th-seeded Tigers into the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament
"If I go out there and try out for teams and I'm not placed where I want to be, then I see no reason why coming back and improving my stock wouldn't be a good idea," Rush said last month.
and scored 17 points in a 81-75 loss to Oklahoma in the West Regional final.
Rush's older brother JaRon left UCLA after his sophomore season two years ago and went undrafted. The final cut of the Seattle SuperSonics last fall,JaRon Rash was released by the practice squad of the ABA's Kansas City Knights in February after missing practice.
Rush has said previously he would return for his senior season if he's not projected to be among the first 13 selections in the June 26 draft.
Indiana's Jeffries goes pro
The Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Jared Jeffries hoped he would get an opportunity to one day play in the NBA. On Monday, he made certain he'd get that chance.
Jeffries, a 6-foot-10 sophomore forward who helped lead Indiana to the NCAA championship game, added his name to the NBA draft, foregoing his final two years of college eligibility.
"All my life, I've had two dreams. My first dream was to hear my name called on graduation day, the second was to hear my name called for the NBA draft," Jeffries said. "I never could have imagined that I would get a chance to play NBA basketball so early."
Jeffries was the Big Ten's player of the year and a secondteam All-American. He led the Hoosiers in scoring and rebounding, averaging 15.0 points and 7.6 rebounds.
Jeffries dismissed any possibility of pulling his name out of the draft. Players can withdraw until June 19 if they do not sign with an agent. Jeffries said his decision was final — and that he would likely choose an agent in
the next few days.
Jeffries has been projected as a top-15 pick in the June draft. He consulted with NBA team officials in the past week, but declined to say how high he expected to be drafted.
The 20-year-old Jeffries demonstrated his ability to play both inside and outside during the Hoosiers' improbable tournament run, which ended with a loss to Maryland in the national championship game.
Jeffries, working down low, had 24 points and 15 rebounds in the Hoosiers upset of topranked Duke. Two games later, with Tom Coverdale slowed by a sprained left ankle, Jeffries showed the ability of a point guard, occasionally running the fast break.
Questions remain whether Jeffries is strong enough to play in the NBA. He bulked up to 215 pounds this year after working out last summer with some of the Indiana Pacers.
"Is anybody ready for the NBA?" said Jeffries' father, Tom. "The answer is no he is not ready. But he will get ready and with the right work ethic, he will be ready."
Indiana Coach Mike Davis was ill and did not attend Jeffries' announcement.
In a statement released by Indiana, Davis said he supported Jeffries' decision.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I know that Jared will make the best of it," Davis said. "I plan to keep in touch with him throughout his career and he knows that I am always here if he ever needs me. It was a pleasure to have coached him for two seasons."
Jeffries' decision to enter the draft was widely expected. He considered leaving last season after being named the Big Ten's freshman of the year. However, his parents persuaded him to stay in school.
Jeffries and his father spent the weekend fishing in Tennessee while they discussed the decision.
"It is about a dream of mine, it is not a hardship case," Jeffries said. "It's a dream I have to play against the best basketball players. It's mostly for myself because I have a chance to play."
Jeffries becomes the fourth Indiana player to enter the NBA draft early, following Isiah Thomas, Jay Edwards and Kirk Haston, who left last year after his junior season.

WOMEN'S LACROSSE Players break records in game against Illinois
Two KU women's lacrosse members have moved into the record books.
Lindsey Johnson set the single season goal record with her 30th score and Kristen Bloom tied the career goal record of 43.
Last weekend, against the University of Illinois, Johnson, St. Louis freshman, scored five goals and Bloom, Wichita senior, added three.
Both records were previously owned by Lara Ratican, who set the single season record with 29 goals in 1999.
Johnson will try to extend her record and Bloom will try to make the career goal mark her own this weekend with games against Lake Forest College and Ball State University on Saturday and against the University of Iowa and Knox College on Sunday.
TENNIS After winning streak, Bejan named Player of Week
Kansas tennis player Aurelien Beijar was named the Big 12 Conference Tennis Player of the Week for matches played from April 1 to 7, the Big 12 announced yesterday.
Big 12 team has a combined 6-0 singles and doubles record this past week while competing at No. 5 singles and No. 3 doubles alongside senior Cheryl Mallaiah. Bejar defeated Kansas State's Pauline Castillejos 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-3, Missouri's Caitlin Thompson 6-3, 7-5 and Iowa State's Courtney Leese 6-2, 6-2 over the five-day span of dual team matches.
In doubles, Bejar, Clermont-Ferrand, France native, teamed with Malliah to defeat Kansas State's Maria Rosenberg/Pauline Castillejos, 8-6, Missouri's Mary Barry/Caitlin Thompson, 8-4 and Iowa State's Courtney Leese/Edna Vazquez, 8-6, over the same April 3-7 dates
Bejar has won her last 11 singles matches and has totaled a 12-2 record in singles action with a 9-0 record versus Big 12 opponents this spring. In doubles, she carries a 7-6 record for the spring dual season.
"This is great for Aurelie," coach Kilmery Waterman said. "She came here in January and started off a little rocky but is now getting in stride. She is a great team player and I am very happy for her."

BASKETBALL Minnesota player receives suspension
NEW YORK — Minnesota Timberwolves center Marc Jackson was suspended without pay for one game yesterday by the NBA for his flagrant foul against former teammate Bob Sura.
Jackson leveled the Golden State guard as he drove to the basket with 8:07 left in the second quarter Monday night. Jackson hit Sura high, then appeared to shove Sura as he fell hard to the ground.
Jackson was called for a flagrant foul and ejected.
"Bobby was a little ticked when I first tried to apologize, but he knows I wasn't trying to hurt him," Jackson said. "My coaches knew I was just playing the game. When I saw it on the videotape, it did look kind of bad."
