HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 24).
Put down roots this year. Get your domestic environment just the way you want it. Start by making a romantic commitment in May.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Pack up a bunch of stuff and head for the wide open spaces. If you've got a favorite place you like to go, and a favorite person you like to go with, that's definitely the best idea yet. If you can only have one of the above, make it a new person and favorite old location
Taurus; Today is a 6.
Looks like you could have company this weekend.
That's OK. Your place is a haven of comfort and security for a lot of your friends. That's just the way you like it. You go to a great deal of trouble to make sure that happens. Everybody loves your homemade treats.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Dive into a good book this weekend. If you start today, you may not want to come out until Sunday night. You could learn a lot and have a marvelous time. There may be a couple of other things you have to take care of, too. Get them done quickly, or get somebody else to do them.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
It looks like something valuable is coming from far away. It could be a gift, but it looks more like payment for work done in the past. The bad news is that there may be money complications tonight. If you're going out, keep your wallet in a safe place.
Somebody who loves you very much is making quite a fuss. What's the best thing to do in a situation like this? Well, obviously, it's to make a big fuss back. If you get yourself a good mutual admiration society going, you'll know what it is to be blessed.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Virao: Today is a 7.
Saaittarius: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Are you running a marathon, or what? If so, you'll need strength and endurance. You may not have much energy left for going out tonight, however. That could cause a problem with your mate. It looks like he or she wants to party, and you want to sleep. Com-promise. First one, then the other.
Your team is red hot. You're full of vitality and vigor. You might be the cheerleader rather than one of the players. You naturally spur others on to success. You're an excellent motivator as well as an excellent manager. So go for the gold!
Libra: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
At last, a day when you can run and play and frail in the flowers. After you've finished your chores, that is. If you let your fingers do the walking, you'll save yourself a lot of time. And the more time you save, the sooner you can get out there on the playing field.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
This is going to be a little bit easier. It looks like you've got a partner who can help. This person also is going to bring in a little more money. That's certainly welcome. Also, a friend comes up with a great idea this afternoon. Let people know what you need.
There are still several items on your list that you haven't been able to afford. One of them is something you want very much, and another is something your sweetheart or children desire. Whoever got the last treat has to wait; the other one gets the treat this time.
The last few days at work have been pretty peaceful. Now that the weekend is here, it's time to get busy. You may be involved in a project that's helping a friend, but it looks like there's money coming in, too. You're concerned about serving others, and that serves you as well.
The Kansas men's and women's track teams were scheduled to compete this weekend at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia and the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, but only one runner will be competing at Penn and a lust small group at Drake.
Track team to spread out in weekend meets
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
The majority of the team will compete in a meet at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Distance runner Ricardo Amezcu, who earned provisional qualifying marks for nationals last week at the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut, Calif., competed in the 10,000 meters last night at the Penn Relays.
Penn is generally one of our smaller meeters," said hurdles/sprints coach Sam Hume. "If the competition is as good at Drake, we'll send most of our people there."
A group of 15 to 20 will be competing at Drake, but the majority, 20 women and 15 men, will compete at UMKC tomorrow.
"We really try to get the kids into meets like Drake or Penn who have the caliber to compete in them," said head coach Gary Schwartz. "But then we also have to develop the rest of the team for conference and give as many athletes as much of a chance to compete as we can. I would prefer to keep everyone together, but the reality is sometimes we can't do that."
The UMKC Invitational will be held at the Sweeney Recreation Center on the UMKC campus. The meet will start at 8 a.m. and finish around 5 p.m.
"He injured it in training, but competing at Mount Sac aggravated it even more," Hume said. "With the conference meet in three weeks, we saw no point in taking any chances."
The team has been plagued by a string of minor injuries all season.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"Most of our relay people have minor strains, bumps and bruises," Hume said.
Decathlete Nathan Prenger is still bothered by a hamstring injury. Last weekend at Mount Sac, Prenger competed in only five of ten events of the decathlon and finished in 10th place with 3.335 points.
Long and triple jumper Marcus Scheid will not compete this weekend because of a strained hip flexor.
"He took a Cortisone shot earlier this week," Hume said. "It's never been super-serious, but it's never really gone away."
