HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday
Today it is your job to help people. If you lend a helping hand today, you will be rewarded greatly in the end.
Aries: Todav is a 5.
Think with your head before acting from your heart. It you make a fool of yourself, it is better to do so at home than in public. Try to stay calm in the face of difficult decisions.
Taurus: Todav is an 8.
Say what you mean and show how you feel. This is an ideal moment to spend time with someone important in your life. Dine out in as much style as your bud get allows.
Gemini: Today is a 4.
The Twins are in disagreement about something important. Your strongest inner voice may not be the wisest one at the moment. It is all too easy to be paralyzed with indecision.
Cancer; Today is an 8.
Your personal excellence spreads to the world around you. Other people are only too happy to offer you positive support. This is the perfect day to get a new project off the ground.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Stop looking backward and start looking forward.
The only way to change the past is to rewrite your memories of it. There is a lot more you can do about the future, beginning right now.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
Someone wants your sympathy today, not your skills as a problem solver. Give that impracticable logic a rest and spend time in the heart's rich emotional landscape. A short break recharges your batteries.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Amazingly enough, others hold opinions different from yours. Do not assume the automatic agreement and participation of everyone else. Enthusiasm about a possible bargain could leave you looking foolish.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You never stop learning, but this is a good time to go inactive search of knowledge. You are comfortable with challenge and excited by a wide range of possibilities. Start big and keep the momentum going.
You are mystified by the reactions of people in the grip of emotions you don't understand. Offer your help only if you plan to get deeply involved. Choose your partners carefully today.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Whatever you do today is likely to bring results, whether you act thoughtlessly or with precision. Even refusal to act is a kind of action. A personal relationship hangs in the balance.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Bite the bullet and take care of the boring stuff today.
Giving a little bit of help to someone in need may not be as dreadful as you first imagined. There are rewards for staying with the program.
Pisces: Today is a 9.
Pleasure is the order of the day. Creative activities come naturally with a spirit of discovery and delight Grow and celebrate in the company of people you love.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
The Kansas men's and women's track teams will split up today to compete at two meets.
Twenty-five men and 25 women will compete at the Emporia State Invitational tion, and about 30 men and women will head to Austin, Texas, for the Texas Relays, which start today and run through Saturday.
KU track teams look for success at meets
Coach Gary Schwartz said this week's meet in Texas would be different from the Arizona State meet two weeks ago. "At Arizona, there were team scores so we just tried to score as many points as possible." Schwartz said. "Take Candy."
Mason: Will perform in three events in Texas this weekend
No team scores will be tallied at the Texas Relays. More than 100 colleges and universities will be represented.

(Mason), for instance. In the pote vault, she did one jump and left because she had three other events that day."
"This weekend, the emphasis will be on more quality performances," Schwartz said. "This will be the first real tough outdoor competition. Several athletes have the ability to make it to finals."
One such athlete is Lester Smith, a triple-jumper from St. Louis. The junior college transfer had a spectacular indoor season but failed to reach nation als.
"Lester really wanted to go to nationales for the indoor season, but we wanted his knee to be fully healed for the outdoor season," said Theo Hamilton, horizontal jumps and sprints coach. "He was able to get rested up, and he's
Freshman Scott Russell will have plenty of resting time between his events. Russell will compete in the hammer throw, javelin and discus — one event per day in the three-day meet.
about 100 percent."
The All-American made an immediate impact at the Arizona State meet, his outdoor debut. He placed second or third in all the throw events.
Angela Johnson
Mason, co-captain and two-time All-American, will compete in the pole vault, long jump and javelin. She will participate in two events tomorrow and one Saturday.
Former UNLV coach NCAA settle lawsuit
The coach sued the NCAA shortly after he was forced to resign from UNLV in 1992. The lawsuit claimed the organization targeted him while he was at UNLV from 1973-92.
LAS VEGAS — Basketball coach Jerry larkian says his long-running legal battle with the NCAA has ended and
at odds since he coached at Long Beach State and then at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He now coaches Fresno State.
Wally Renfra, a representative at NCAA headquarters in Overland Park said yesterday that he could not confirm a settlement. He said a conference call would be held today.
The trial was scheduled to begin May 18 in Las Vegas. The NCAA tried unsuccessfully to get the trial moved from Las Vegas, citing Tarkanian's popularity in the city.
Tarkanian declined to specify the amount of the settlement.

"It's made me tired and has taken a lot
questionnaire referencing practices. The academy ordered the school to suspend Tarkanian for two years, but he obtained a court order blocking the action.
Tarkanian's battles with the NCAA began when he criticized the agency while coaching at Long Beach State.
UNLY was put on probation for two years in 1977 for what the NCAA called questionable recruiting practices
In 1999, the ReviewJournal published photos of three former players in a hot tub with convicted sports fixer Richard Perry.
The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the court ruled in 1988 the NCAA acted as a private organization and not a government agency.
The Rebels won the national championship in 1990 and were hit with further NCAA sanctions, which resulted in a 1991-92 ban on postseason play and live television appearances.
Under pressure, Tarkianan announced he would resign following the 1991-92 season, after which he
sued the NCAA.
Yankees as the highest-paid team at $69 million, more than 7 1/2 times the Montreal Expos' payroll of $9.1 million, according to a study by The Associated Press.
Teams on uneven field with players' salaries
NEW YORK — The difference between baseball's haves and have-nots was greater than ever on opening day.
Montreal discarded nearly all its veterans, including Pedro Martinez, Mike Lansing, Henry Rodriguez and Darrin Fletcher, cutting last year's $18 million payroll in half. The Expos hope to gain approval this year for a downtown stadium and plan to rebuild the roster if ballpark funding is approved.
Baltimore's payroll, a record for an opening day roster, was followed by the Yankees ($63.5 million), who had been first from 1995 to 1997. Cleveland was third at $59.6 million, followed by Atlanta at $59.5 million and Texas at $55.3 million.
Three players — Albert Belle, Gary Sheffield and Greg Maddux — make more individually than Montreal's entire team.
"There are a few clubs that can be at $70 million every year," Expos general manager Jim Beattie said yesterday. "To have your payroll in the 30s, I just don't think you can compete. To have your payroll in the 40s is kind of in-between land."
The Florida Martins, fifth in payout at the end of last season at $53.5 million, dropped to 20th at $33.4 million after shedding 12 players from the roster that led the team to a World Series title
Other than Montreal, the only teams below $20 million were Oakland ($19.5 million) and Pittsburgh ($13.4 million).
Baltimore displaced the New York
Arizona is No. 23 at $30.6 million, and Tampa Bay is 25th at $25.3 million.
Belle and Sheffield were tied for the top spot on the salary list at $10 million apiece, followed by Maddux ($9.6 million), Barry Bonds ($8,916,667), Mark McGwire ($8,333,333) and Roger Clemens and Bernie Williams ($8.25 million each).
