HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 11).
Today's Birthday (Feb. 11).
It's good to concentrate on what you're doing, of course, but don't get too stuck on yourself. True, you are exceptionally talented this year. In the top 10 percent, as a matter of fact, it won't be easy to be humble, but try. It'll make you perfect.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8. Your analytical side is really coming out. You may not have even known you had one. You'll do best in association with other deep thinkers. Together, your chances of solving a major problem are excellent.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. You might earn a bonus if you can pass the test. It's all about skills you should have learned by now. If you have the experience, you may not even notice you're doing something difficult. If you don't, well, you'll know what to practice.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 9.
Gemini is a sign that's known for its insatiable curiosity. You're even hungrier than usual for knowledge right now.
You want to learn something that's useful or profitable.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
Paperwork may be dominating your life.
Don't waste time wondering where it came from. Just start sorting and filing. Everything will make sense eventually.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
This is not a good time to get into an argument with your "better half." That could be your spouse, your attorney or your agent.
This person is on a winning streak, so hitch a ride!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 4.
Does it seem like others are asking too much of you? It's possible that you're not being fully appreciated, or not being paid as much as you should be. Just concentrate on what you're doing. You can still have satisfaction.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 9.
You're awesome, but you aren't doing this alone. You're getting lots of support (and good advice) from the people who love you.
Don't forget to thank them for all they've done.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
The temptation to stay in bed could be almost overpowering. You might actually have a good reason, like a cold or a bad case of nerves. You're usually solid as a rock, but a puzzle may be giving you fits. Make extra time to think.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.
It's not often you assimilate complicated information this quickly. If you concentrate your efforts now, you can attain a new level of mastery soon. Don't leave it to chance. Study.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
Even though you seem to have plenty, you may be a little anxious. You're not sure there'll be enough to go around. Keep working and saving. Trust that hunch that you have.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 9.
To say you are powerful is a complete under-
statement. You've got the world on a delicate
string. A person you find attractive thinks
the same about you. Act on this if you're ready to
tell the person.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.
Paper's cheap. So are pencils. Surround
yourself with both. You're in a pre-creative
state. Draw the plans, make the lists, compose
the music. Let it flow. Don't be critical.
This is the rough draft. Polish it later.

Softball team gains confidence three victories in first tournament
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
In a 3-2 come-from-behind victory against No.6 Arizona State, the Kansas softball team closed out a successful weekend in the Fiesta Bowl Classic in Phoenix.
"Coming out and beating a team like Arizona State is huge for our confidence," said senior left fielder Christy Musser.
The Jayhawks left with a 3-2 record in their first tournament of the season.
"Today was a huge boost for us," coach Tracy Bunge said. "Coming from behind speaks a lot for the character of our team."
"We didn't look like a very good team on Friday," Bunge said. "It was frustrating not to play like we think we're capable of. As a coach, I was proud to see us bounce back on Saturday. We were much, much better."

FOOTBALL
Kansas football alumnus dies in Vegas motorcycle accident
The Kansas football team lost one of its most successful alumni when Broderick Thompson died in a motorcycle accident near Las Vegas last Monday. He was 41.
According to police in Boulder City, Nevada, Thompson, who played at Kansas from 1981-82, was killed when his motorcycle hit a tractor-trailer on U.S. 95, south of Boulder City.
He played 12 seasons as an offensive tackle in the NFL, including stints in Dallas, San Diego, Philadelphia and Denver before retiring in 1996. He was living in Cerritos, Calif., at the time of his death.
He played two seasons with coach Don Fambrough at Kansas, and helped lead the Jayhawks to an 8-4 record and a berth in the Hall of Fame Bowl in 1981.

BOXING Tyson looks for boxing license in Michigan, Texas, California
DETROIT — Former boxing great Thomas Hearns is trying to lure the Mike Tyson-Lennox Lewis fight to Michigan by filing paperwork with the state, requesting to stage a bout at the Pontiac Silverdome April 6.
Tyson and Lewis were scheduled to fight for the heavyweight title that night in Las Vegas, but Nevada officials voted 4-1 last month to deny Tyson a license to fight in the state.
Tyson also applied in Texas for a license to fight and is expected to apply for a license in California.
Michigan can only deny a boxer's license if he is on suspension in any other state, in jail or fails a pre-fight physical. However, a bill being considered by a state House committee would require boxing license applicants to demonstrate "good moral character."
State Rep. Andrew Raczkowski, who introduced the bill, issued a statement Friday urging the Legislature to approve it so Tsyon would be unable to fight in Michigan.
"For the good of the state and the sport as a whole, unsavory characters should be denied access," Raczkowski said.
