HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Feb. 27)
Get ready for an exciting weekend. The phone will be ringing off the hook tonight, but remember to do something with your friends. Just have fun.
Aries: Today is a 5.
Stay focused on the task at hand. Hard-driving Aries is confused by the gentle, egalitarian hesitation of Libra. Getting what you want will take some extra effort today.
Taurus; Today is a 6.
Finish up those outstanding tasks early enough to enjoy the rest of the day. You are more than ready to be a spectator. Idle chatter is an attractive option, but it only will postpone the inevitable.
Your relationship takes an exciting turn today. If you are single, you might connect with another person. Impassioned conversation is the key to many possible doors.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
The circumstances of your personal life will have repercussions on any decision you make. Acting out of spite is grossly inappropriate today. Sort your feelings out quickly and give a grip.
Leo: Today is a 5.
it is possible to be too perceptive and too agreeable. You are drowning in your own sympathy and understanding today, and decisions are difficult. This may cause problems later on.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
Jealousy comes easily today, especially where material possessions are involved. You take it personally when someone else has a stroke of luck. There is enough to go around. You will get your chance.
Libra: Today is an 8.
You can achieve a lot by working with others today.
Be open to a stranger — you could be meeting your next lover or best friend. Put your whole body into the dance, and your spirit will follow.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Everyone is talking today, but no one is saying anything of real substance. You should listen to your inner voices for advice. It is easy, but not terribly smart, to surrender to the popular mood.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
The scope of your vision wins others to your cause. Strike while the iron is hot. People stay excited when the turnaround time between ideas and actions is short and sweet.
You may be obligated to spend time with a difficult person. Set mutually acceptable ground rules, etcere the situation gets out of hand. Resolve optimis; n is your best defensive weapon.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
This is a good day for gatherings, parties, and soirees. You never know who you might meet. Be outspoken about your opinions if you want to be noticed
Face the fact that an old situation, routine or partnership has come to an end. Celebrate the change instead of mourning the loss. Waste no time in exploring all the new possibilities.

The Kansas softball team will take on the No. 1 team in the nation this weekend at the Wildcat Invite in Arizona.
The top-ranked Wildcats are undefeated going into their own tournament, where they will host McNeese State, Colorado State and Kansas.
The Jayhawks were disappointed at the Gladstone Tournament in Florida last weekend, losing four of six games. Mental lapses and weak defensive games contributed to the Jayhawks' exit from the tournament.
Although injuries have prevented the Jahawks from playing with a full squad, the injuries may become less of a factor. Pitcher Sarah Workman, who has been sidelined because of elbow tendinitis, is listed as probable for this weekend.
The Kansas soccer team announced Ellen Peterfeso as the new assistant Petercoach yester

Jayhawks to wrangle Cowboys
Continued from page 1B
The Cowboys are led by guard Adrian Peterson, who averages 17.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. But the team has three other players
"You can't focus just on one guy," Williams said. "Last year when we played them in the Big 12 Tournament, Chianti Roberts really hurt us. But after he fouled out, they were really lost. They don't have that problem this year."
Williams said the Cowboys, a team that revolved around one player last season, had become more balanced.
— center Brett Robisch, guard Joe Adkins and forward Desmond Mason
— who average more than 12 points per game.
Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said the Cowboys would have to rely on that balanced scoring to defeat Kansas.
"We've been successful because everyone has consistently scored all year, and we can't afford to go away from that with key games down the stretch run," Sutton said. "It's been a pleasure to coach this team since we weren't expected accomplish much this season, but this has been a team effort."
going 3-1, they will face a ranked team for the first time since their Dec. 20 victory against TCU.
Kansas forward Paul Pierce said that the Jayhawks would continue to play as a team and added that playing for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament would not be the motivation.
"I guess you can use it for motivation, but you still need to play basketball," Pierce said. "The fact the we may be a No. 1 seed doesn't make things any easier, so we just need to concentrate on what comes next."
