HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (April 10)
Just as the past year has had its ups and downs, this year will be the same One tip, however: Do not buy excess monkeys. They throw their feces.
Aries: Today is a 4.
Your intense inward focus on your health may be making things seem worse than they really are. Turn your gaze outward and look for new projects. Your mood might cause co-workers to be abrupt with you.
Taurus; Today is an 8.
You are wealthy and powerful when others give you the attention and respect you deserve. Being a good host is surprisingly effortless today. Flowers are an inexpensive but effective means of communication.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Be very literal with your words during important discussions with children. Pay special attention to signals today, whether in conversation or on the road. Asking too many questions could make someone nervous.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
This is a good day to hatch those ideas on which you have been sitting in the comfort of your nest. The bread has risen in the oven, its scent attracting wondering noses far and wide. The fruit is ripe and ready for the market.
Leo: Today is a 9.
You may please a boss or client today by keeping your strong personality out of business matters. Some thing you generally value does not seem important right now. Change something in your diet if your lower energy level concerns you.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
You are in an unique position to identify and control the details that make up your life. Tidy up, take inventory and retool and rebuild your system. Logic rules your world today, and everything makes perfect sense.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 9.
Anything more than one-on-one interaction could be too much for you to handle today. What begins as amusing may become overwhelming if it persists. An excess of female energy unbalances a system.
Sagittarius: Today is a 3.
Today you find that giving is more powerful than receiving. You have a surplus of something that is in great demand among those in your community. Friends rally around an innovative idea.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
An authority figure is driving you crazy, although he may not know it. Read between the lines in legal or matter matters. This is a good day to find something that makes you laugh long and hard.
Aquarius: Today is a 2.
Personal preferences may cloud your business dealings today. Listen to someone's intentions instead of the words they use. The unconventional approach is sometimes the best solution to a problem.
Go someplace today where they don't discuss politics and do a little research into human nature. You feel lucky, positive and willing to build something new. A moderate amount of self-discipline will help.
Pisces: Today is a 1.
It's not advisable to leap before you look, but today there may not be time to do anything else. Drink or drugs might slow your reflexes to dangerous levels. Be aware of your surroundings and the people with whom you might interact.

beachard, who was hired from Barton County Community College at the beginning of the semester, has signed a star of his former team to come play at Kansas
Tori Holmstein, a 5-foot-10 outside hitter, has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Jayhawks, Bechard announced yesterday. At Barton County, the sophomore was a first-team all-Jayhawk Conference selection and a second team all-reign pick.
"I'm pretty familiar with her after coaching her the last two years at Barton," Bechard said. "She has a tremendous work ethic and a great on-court personality. When you combine that with the technical base and athleticism that she has, then you have a student-athlete who is capable of helping the Jay-hawks take the step to the next level."

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The Minnesota Twins are asking American League officials to review the play that left outfielder Otis Nixon nursing a broken jaw.
Twins general manager Terry Ryan sent a letter and videotape Wednesday to AL president Gene Budig. The letter brings attention to the play and asks the league to look at the tape of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

ble play in the first inning. At first, Nixor appeared to become ant tangled with Royals shortstop Felix Martinez. But a television replay shows Martinez kicking Nixon as he slid by.
"I'm just trying to do what I think is right," Ryan said. "I've seen the replay a number of times."
"it felt like a horse kick," Nixon said after the Royals' 9-5 win.
Ryan said the play happened so fast that no one, including the umpires, knew what actually occurred until they watched

"It doesn't automatically mean there will be discipline, a warning or anything," Merhiae said.
"It's getting a little bit better," Nixon said after taking batting practice with a new mask and helmet combination. "If I can get the swelling down and get rid of a little bit more pain, I'll be OK."

Three people, including two former Northwestern athletes, have pleaded not guilty in a betting scandal that has embarrassed the Big 10's most academically prestigious school. Another former athlete also charged in the scheme is conteracting with the investigation
Pendergast admitted to conspiring to fix three Big 10 basketball games in the winter of 1995 by bribing players. He also admitted recruiting gamblers to bet on the fixed games and said the amount
Pendergast, 27, of Los Olives, Calif., pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to influence sporting events through bribery. Other charges of using interstate commerce to facilitate the betting were dropped.
No sentencing date was set, and Panderter was released without he
Pendergast agreed to cooperate with FBI investigators and to work with the NCAA to educate students, athletes and others about the risks of gambling.
The maximum sentence for his crime is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Federal sentencing guidelines call for 15 to 21 months in prison, said Randall Samborn, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office. The government plans to recommend a shorter sentence than that but will not decide on a specific recommendation until the other cases are disposed of, Samborn said.
Former basketball player Dewey Williams has pleaded not guilty in the case, as has former football player Brian Ballarini, who was charged separately with running a bookmaking operation on Northwestern's campus. Brian Irving, also charged with sports bribery has pleaded not guilty as well.
Former basketball player Kenneth Dior Lee is cooperating with investigators. He has not yet entered a plea and is due in court April 20.
Bibby enters NBA draft likely to be early pick
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — AllAmerica sophom more guard Mike Bibby moved toward millionaire status yesterday, announcing he will leave Arizona to make himself available for the NBA draft.
guard taken in the draft and have few doubts he has the skills and talent to be a success in the league.
"It's just been a dream of mine since I was a little boy, and now that chance is here, I don't want to let it pass me up." Bibb said at a campus news conference.
"Mike is very ready to play in the NBA," said wild coach Lute Olson, who was told by Bibby of his decision to turn pro last weekend.
Some NBA officials believe the 19-
year-old Bob will be the first point
Bibby, the son of former NBA guard Henry Bibby, becomes the second Arizona player in the 1990s to leave early for the
NBA. Center Brian Williams declared himself eligible for the draft in 1991 after his junior year
Bibby quickly showed his leadership capabilities in college, directing Arizona to the national championship as a freshman.
Bibby was named the Pacific-10 player of the year this season and averaged 17.2 points and 5.7 assists — up from his freshman averages of 15.5 points and 5.2 assists.
"I think he's ready," Atlanta Hawks scout Royce Yoeaee said. "He's going to have an adjustment period, like every one else. People don't realize how strong you have to be at that level. He has all the tools that you need, though."
Los Angeles Lakers executive vice president Jerry West said Bibby's style of play reminds him of Oscar Robertson, a fellow Hall of Famer who was a contemporary of West's in the NBA.
As a sophomore, he was a consensus first-team All-America and took the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament's regional final before losing to Utah 86-61.
"He plays an old-fashioned game, which I think a lot of people like," West said. "He's a prospect, that's for sure."
Rob Babcock, player personnel director for the Minnesota Timberwolves, said Bibby has "areat potential."
"He understands the game. He's got great court vision. He understands how to play the point guard position and he can shoot it," he said. "His skill level is very, very high."
