HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday.
Big changes are in store — changes for the better. A scientific, analytical, technical type will be a big help. You might want to take a class or seminar to gain insights yourself. If you're due for a breakthrough, why not have it happen where you want it?
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8. You never find it easy to sit still. Today, it may be practically impossible. Not that you should. Let a new idea propel you farther than you've ever gone before.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. You're all fired up. A person who tries to push you around is in for a big surprise. Don't let somebody else's lack of planning turn into your emergency. Offer help, but on your terms.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8. Your mate or partner could surprise you. Don't make any assumptions. He or she really could give up a bad habit once and for all. Meanwhile, splurge on lunch for a needy friend.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6. Life would be easier if it weren't for one particularly annoying person. Learn to get along with that person, and you'll be amazed at how easy everything else becomes.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8. Bureaucratic paperwork could get tangled up, but don't let it ruin your day. A romantic connection should go well. That more than makes up for petty problems.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 6 - Worried that a dream can't come true? Did a friend say it's unrealistic? Impractical? Poorly planned? You can fix that by doing more planning.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 9.
You're lucky now, and smart. Take on new challenges. Learn new games. Find talents you didn't know you had. It'll be fun, but try not to irritate an authority figure who's prone to jealousy.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Your financial situation is a tad unstable now. You may have to work harder for a while to make ends meet. Your home life should be rock-solid, and that's what really counts.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.
You know those bad habits you've been trying to quit? Give it another try. Even if you've failed before, this time is different.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 6. Changes at work are annoying. You may feel a lack of control. Luckily,somebody you know understands. Share your feelings with that person.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8.
With the possible exception of a snide remark made by a co-worker, today should be marvelous. It may be a secondhand remark, and it's probably a misunderstanding, so you might not want to fly off the handle.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Don't be shy about expressing your love
just because you're short on cash. Flowers
make a lovely gift, and you know where you
can get some for free. However, don't track
them down on company time.

The Kansas rugby team battles the Kansas City Blues at the Westwick Rugby Complex in Lawrence. Although the team lost 35-0 Saturday, club President Matt Kenney said it put up a good match that Kansas City didn't expect.
Even though it lost 35-0, the Kansas men's rugby team gained confidence Saturday in the midst of a defeat by the Kansas City Blues at Westwick Rugby Complex in Lawrence.
"We were beat, but we put up a good, tough match that Kansas City didn't expect," club president Matt Kenney, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said.
Kenney said the No. 4-ranked Blues was the toughest opponent Kansas will meet this year.
Kansas was up to the challenge for the first 10 minutes, holding the Blues scoreless.
"We were able to disrupt their game and make them realize that they won't be able to beat teams of their own caliber with that kind of performance," Will Lenz, Gurnnee, Ill., junior, said. "We tackled hard and made them work for their scores. Nothing came easy."
The Blues regrouped and dominated the remainder of the game, scoring four times in the first half and twice in the second.
"Not everyone was on the same page, and they scored twice just because of bad communication,"
Oliver Parkinson, Prairie Village senior, said.
Parkinson said turnovers were also a central problem.
"They stole the ball a lot and kept it tight," Parkinson said. "It really wasn't anything exciting. They just kept pounding away at us."
Despite the loss, Kenney and the rest of the team were happy about the overall performance.
against a good team," said three-year veteran Lenz. "It was a whoopin', but if we play like we did, we won't lose again this season."
"We stepped up to the occasion
Kansas will play Saturday and Sunday at the Ruggerfest Tournament in St. Louis.

Driver will race Winston Cup only
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tony Stewart made his double-duty plans official yesterday, saying he will not drive in the Indianapolis 500.
Stewart, a former Indy Racing League champion, will only compete in the Coca-Cola 600 and not make a third attempt at the grueling 1,100-miles of racing. He cited his desire to win the Winston Cup championship this year, and his shot at a $1 million bonus if he wins the 600 for not entering the Indy 500.
"Running Indy again is something I've put a lot of thought into, but when it came right down to it, the long-term goal of winning the Winston Cup championship won
"We are in the No Bull 5, and that means a $1 million bonus if we win. By not running Indy, we'll start where we'll qualify and not at the back of the field.
"All in all, it just seemed like the right thing to do."
Stewart is 12th in the Winston Cup standings, 204 behind leader Sterling Marlin. But he's been strong all season and an engine problem in Daytona and a wreck at Darlington dropped him back in the standings.
Stewart, an Indiana native, has made no secret of his desire to win the Indy 500. He's the only driver to ever finish double-duty, completing the feat last year when he finished sixth at Indy and third in the 600 later that night.
He tried the double in 1999, his rookie year in Winston Cup, but only finished 1,090 miles.
John Andretti and Robby Gordon are the only other drivers to attempt the double. Gordon said last week he would try it for a third time this year, but Andretti has not received permission from Petty Enterprises to do it next month despite his stated desire.
Stewart, who has a clause in his contract with Joe Gibbs Racing that allows him to do the double, had received offers from both Chip Ganassi and Roger Penske to drive cars for them at Indy. He did it last year for Ganassi and had been in discussion with him up until last week on another deal.
KANSAS FOOTBALL Team will hit field in fall wearing new uniforms
The Kansas Jayhawks will show off new uniforms when they opezzznn the 2002 season against Iowa State on Aug.31.
"There will be a day for that, a special day to unveil the new look." Mangino said. "It's something the seniors on our football team voted for and picked."
New head coach Mark Mangino, who coached his first on-the-field practice with the team yesterday, wouldn't say much about the new uniforms.
Kansas will practice 15 times before its annual spring scrimmage April 26 at Memorial Stadium.
NFL
Former general manager to advise Falcon's owner
ATLANTA — Former NFL general manager Bobby Beathard joined the Atlanta Falcons yesterday as a senior adviser to new owner Arthur Blank.
Beathard served as general manager with Washington and San Diego and director of player personnel for Miami.
In his role as senior adviser, Beathard will advise and counsel on organizational structure, philosophy, systems and execution of football operations in the areas of college and pro player evaluation, athletic training and equipment, medical programs, information systems and salary cap management.
He also will work with football operations and coaching personnel on player assessment.
NHL Colorado players penalized after rough Phoenix game
NEW YORK — Colorado
Avalanche defenseman Adam Foote
was suspended for two games without pay yesterday by the NHL for a crosscheck against Phoenix forward Daymond Langkow. Foote will forfeit $41,649.48 in salary.
He was given a major penalty for crosschecking and a game misconduct after hitting Langkow late in the third period of the Avalanche's loss to the Coyotes on Saturday night.
Avalanche goalie Patrick Roy, ejected from that game after smashing his stick against a post and throwing it at Phoenix rookie Krystofer Kolanos, was fine $1,000 yesterday. Kolanos beat Roy on a penalty shot.
Foote missed yesterday night's game against Nashville and will miss tomorrow's game against Atlanta.

LPGA Tour finds its own Tiger-like golfer
RANCHOMIRAGE, Calif. — The best player wears red on Sunday, and that no longer applies only to Tiger Woods.
Is anyone in golf more dominant right now than Annika Sorenstam?
The 31-year-old Swede became the first back-to-back winner of the Kraft Nabisco Championship, where she was the only player to break par all four rounds on a difficult Dinah Shore tournament course at Mission Hills.
what else I can win."
It was her 33rd career victory, and 10th in her last 26 tournaments. And it sounds as though Sorenstam is just warming up.
"I want to see how good I can be and how good I can play," she said. "That's what drives me every day. Just because I had a great year last year doesn't mean I'm happy with that. Victories like this push me more, and make me want to see
The LPGA's emphasis on "Five Points of Celebrity" made no mention of its top players wearing shiny red shoes for the final round of the first major championship.
Sorenstam broke out the ruby slippers on a whim, a gutsy move to make a fashion statement on such an important day — tied for the lead with chief rival Karrie Webb and Liselotte Neumann, whom Sorenstam idolized as a teen.
"If I'm not afraid to wear these, then I'm not afraid to play." Sorenstam said.
The only thing to fear in women's golf is how long Sorensant can keep up this pace.
She has not swept the four majors. She has not won more tournaments than anyone in the last 50 years. She has not won a U.S.Open by 15 strokes.
She is not Tiger Woods.
She is not Tiger Woods.
Still, Sorenstam is beginning to separate herself from her competitors the way Woods did two years ago during his record-setting season
When Woods won the Masters last year to hold the titles of all four majors at the same time, it was his 19th victory in his last 38 tour events. Since then, Woods has won three of his last 18 tournaments, and finished out of the top 10 in the last three majors.
Some were expecting Sorenstam to go through a similar letdown after one of the greatest seasons in women's golf.
She became the first woman to shoot 59. She won the Nabisco for her first major in five years. She came from 10 strokes behind on the final day for her fourth consecutive victory, the longest streak on the LPGA Tour in 24 years.
When her sensational season ended with eight victories, Sorenstam broke the season scoring average (69.42) and became the first woman to surpass $2 million in one year.
