HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 30).
You'll learn a lot this year, more than you ever expected. Make plans with your sweetheart in May. Spend July studying. If you cram, you can learn just about anything you need to know.
Aries: Today is a 4.
Taurus: Today is a 9.
If you take the advice of a friend and a bureaucrat, not necessarily in that order, you can put in a correction that will make you much more effective. If this does not make sense, just follow the advice of anybody in a position to know what they're talking about.
You don't know everything yet, but you're learning,
and it's noticeable. You'll get a good opportunity this
afternoon, so make sure you're paying attention.
You've got lots of energy and you're interested in the
topic. How lucky can you get?
Gemini: Today is a 5.
Money could come into your account today, and it's about time. You've been waiting for quite a while and putting up with something at home that needs replacing Plan to go shopping for a new one tonight or tomorrow night. Either would be good times for finding a bargain.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You're in the spotlight and that's OK. You also look like the recipient of more responsibility. Are you in a position where you have to take care of other people's money? If not, that could happen soon. And it looks like you'll be good at it, too.
Leo: Today is a 4.
You could make more money this morning with little effort. Look for a way to increase your income, possibly by taking on another job. Your skills are in demand. You may hear about an opportunity from a friend around dinnertime. This is an insider tip, so don't tell anyone where you heard it.
Virgo: Today is a 9.
Something you don't want anymore would make a wonderful gift for a friend in need. It's just taking up space and you'd like to get it out of your closet. Not only will you be doing a good deed, but you'll be bringing even more favorable attention to yourself.
Libra: Today is a 5.
You could say or do something today to greatly further your career. The opportunity will come quickly and must be acted on quickly. You're definitely up for the challenge, especially if you can figure it out ahead of time and be in the right place when it happens.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Sagittarius: Today is a 4.
it looks like money is coming into your account. This is a surprise. There's plenty of work, but a friend is helping with that, so it's a lot easier. And you may be able, finally, to pay off a big debt. That's a marvelous feeling.
Capricorn: Today is a 9.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
You're under pressure, but you're not in the battle alone anymore. You've got a good partner, who can do some of your chores even better than you can. Let it happen. If you're working with the right person, the two of you will be absolutely awesome.
This would be a good day to pay off a bill. It looks more like it will take ingenuity on your part. Maybe you'll pay off one credit card with another, and get a lower interest rate. That's not the same as paying it off, but it's better than nothing.
Not only do you have a lot of work already, but there's more coming in every minute. You could easily talk yourself into being overwhelmed, if you had the time. Luckily, you don't. Instead, keep reminding yourself how smart you are and how good you are at figuring things out.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
Everything looks rosy. And speaking of roses, this would be a marvelous day to plant some. You're adept at making things grow. You're also good at nurturing people. You'll see the results of your labors in a variety of ways.

Boston senior rower signs to Kansas team
The Kansas rowing team has announced the signing of Karen Nies, a senior from Brookline High School in Boston.
Nies is a member of the Brookline Varsity Eight boat and is the second rower to sign with the team this spring.
"She is a good technical rover," said Kansas assistant rowing coach Heather Galvin. "It's nice to get kids from the East Coast, kids from programs with rowing experience.

ARLINGTON, Texas — No major leaguer has ever driven in more runs to start a season than Texas' Juan Gonzalez.
Gonzalez's two-run homer in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 7-2 victory against Minnesota gave him 35 RBI in April, breaking the record for the month set last year by Tino Martinez of the New York Yankees.
Baseball season starts with broken RBI record
With a game remaining today, Gonzalez had a shot at breaking his best for RBI in month, which was 38. He set that mark in July 1996 during his MVP season in the AL.
Gonzalez also drove in a run on March 31, giving him 36 for the year and setting the major-league mark for RBI before May.
Should Gonzalez keep up the pace, he could make a run at Hack Wilson's season record of 190 RBI set in 1930. The last player to come close was Tommie Davis of the Los Angeles Dodgers with 153 in 1962.
Going into yesterday's games, Gonzalez was fourth in the AL with a .379 average, was second in runs scored with 22, was second in hits with 39 and was tied for third with 10 doubles. His seven home runs have him in a three-way tie for sixth, one behind the leaders.
AUSTIN—Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes has signed his first recruit: Nathaniel Bailey, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound point guard from North
New Texas coach signs guard as first recruit
Texas announced yesterday that the Johnson City, Tenn., native had signed a national letter of intent. Barnes was hired April 13 to replace

Tom Penders.
"Quick, quick,
quick, quick is
the best way I
can describe
him," said North Idaho coach Hugh Watson. "He really plays hard. He can take the ball to the bucket and also hit the open man. I think he'll really do a good job for Texas."
Barnes said, "We're excited about the addition of Nathaniel to this year's recruiting class. He fits in very well with both William Clay and Vohn Hunter. All three have a chance to be an important part of what we do in the future."
Bailey helped lead Johnson City Science Hill High School to two state championships as a sophomore and junior. He attended Odessa College in Texas for one season before transferring to North Idaho College.
He averaged 14.1 points, 4.0 assists and 3.2 steals per game last season.
Hits, not homers, have players running bases
DENVER — While Dante Bichette leads the National League with a .420 average, he has hit just one home run in the first 27 games.
"I'm feeling good, my strength is good, I'm more physically capable of doing things this year," said Bichette, who spent most of last season limping on a surgically left knee but still finished with a .308 average, 26 homers and 118 RBI.
He added 36 pounds, most of it muscle, during the offseason in preparation for the increased power demands of moving into the cleanup
spot following the departure of Andres Galarraga.
Instead of power, he has a major league high of 50 hits following Tuesday night's win against the Florida Martins. It was his third four-hit game of the season, and he also had a five-hit game.
"I feel like I'm not going to miss a ball," he said. "My bat feels quick, I'm seeing the ball good, I have a good mental approach. I'm putting the ball in play and hitting it hard, and I'm keeping my strikeouts down. I'm not going to change a thing. Don't ask me to change a thing."
Bichette, 34, admitted his lack of
homers was puzzling. He has not connected since April 2, the third game of the season. He
"There has been a homer drought here," he said with typical self-deprecating humor. "I'd love to say that I want to hit more home runs, but I can't ask for more than this. Runs win ball games, and as long as we keep scoring runs, it doesn't matter how."
will be hard-pressed to approach the 40 homers he hit in 1995,
Bichette has embraced the cleanup spot, even if his productivity has not been distributed exactly as the Rockies expected it would be.
Bichette is tied with Cincinnati's Dmitri Young for the league lead in doubles (11) and is fourth in the league in runs scored with 23. He also has 22 RBI, which ranks among the top 10 in the league.
But he seems to take more delight in setting the table for No. 5 hitter Vinny Castilla, who leads the NL in homers (11) and RBI (33).
"Somebody's got to get on base for Vinny," he said. "I'll get on base and Vinny can clear them out."
