HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Feb. 20)
Today is the start of an exciting weekend. Be ready for a huge surprise. This will be one that you would have never expected.
Aries: Today is a 5.
If you refuse to follow the rules today, retribution will be swift and severe. Your intense desire for something could lead to dishonesty. Slow yourself down and save yourself a lot of trouble.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Now is the time for action. You have seen the future, and the way before you is clear. Strike out boldly. Do not stop until you have reached the end of your road.
Gemini: Today is a 9.
A financial potpole turns into a major excavation.
Once you start mining for details, you may never get to the bottom. It is only in the face of an impending crisis you discover who your real friends are.
Cancer: Todavis a 5.
A relationship tests your character today. Your partner's happiness and well-being are a measure of your affect of him or her. Bear in mind that you are dealing with a real person and not a set of calibrations.
Do not invest too much energy in a problem with your co-workers. You are distracted too easily to bother with small things today. Take pride in what you are doing by getting the job done on schedule.
Virao: Today is an 8.
You hit your stride today. Strategically planted seeds begin to sprout on schedule. You have fun blowing people's minds by making the impossible look easy.
Libra: Today is a 6.
New evidence casts an old pattern in a completely different light. Family or property issues take on a disturbing new dimension. Do not be too quick to blame someone for something that happened in the past.
Saittarius: Today is a 6.
Capricorn: Today is a 9.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Until you settle a debt, you will be bound invisibly to the lender. Repay a favor today, and check those finance charges on your credit card. Freedom is an illusion when you are working for someone else.
Everybody has something to offer you today.
Resources fall across your desk at the exact moment that you need them. This is the day on which plans ripen perfectly.
Others find your opinions worth their weight in gold They may be right, but exaggeration will return to haunt you. This is a good day to confirm facts and sign documents.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Your ability to adapt is your most valuable possession. A minor glitch in the program easily is corrected. Do not waste your precious energy making a big production out of a small inconvenience.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
A friend or stranger helps you without even realizing it. The missing piece of the puzzle sits solidly and perfectly in your hand. Avoid excessive confidence — there is still room for mistakes.
SPORTS BRIEFS
CAMPUS:
Tournament will rock for two KU climbers
The members, Ward Byrum and Michael Lary, will compete against climbers from Kansas State and Wichita State Universities.
Two members of the KU Rock Climbing Club will compete in a tournament tomorrow at the New Heights rock climbing gym in Tulsa, Okla.
Lary, Delmar, Iowa, sophomore, said the club would not pay the $20 entrance fee. He said that might be a reason that only he and Bvrum were going
"I'm going because we get to meet a lot of climbers we haven't met yet and for the free T-shirts," said Byrum, Wichita sophomore.
Climbers are judged by the difficulty of the routes they choose and how well they do on those routes, Byrum said. He said climbers also earned extra points for completing the climb on the first attempt.

Chicago fans mourn Caray with tears, beer
CHICAGO — "Let me hear yal!"
Harry Caray may wolver, leaning through the press box window at Wrigley Field, ready to stir the crowd with another rendition of *Take Me Out* to the Ball Game.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Baseball fans and even those who aren't, residents and out-of-towners alike expressed how much the beloved Hall of Fame broadcaster, who died Wednesday, would be missed.
Yesterday, a city mourning the loss of one of its most popular figures did just that.
They cried and reminisced. They raised toasts and hoisted signs. They
"He was beyond an icon," Cubs first baseman Mark Grace said. "He was beyond an ambassador for the game. He is the most popular figure, I think, in baseball, beyond a doubt."
stood in a cold mist at Wrigley Field in his honor, leaving mementos and souvenirs behind.
Carlay loved his team, but he often mangled multisyllable names and wasn't bashful about pointing out Cubs' shortcomings — and there have been plenty through the years.
Cary: Cubs fans,
Chicagoa mourn
broadcaster's death
shrine began to form outside of Wrigley Field just hours after Caray's death was announced Wednesday.
"If a ground ball went through an infielder's legs, 50 other announcers would say, 'Boy this infield's a little slippery today.' And he would say, 'Hey, he missed the ball!" said Cubs manager Ed Lynch, imitating Carey's elastic pronunciation.
Pans piled beer bottles and cans, Cubs hats, flowers, handmade cards, candles, key chains, American flags, signed base-balls, jackets, schedules and even a carton of milk with his trademark "Holy Cow" printed on the side. The
there was one time when a guy popped out and he said, 'How can a guy making $3 million pop out?' The player didn't like that, but we said, 'Well, you popped out.' But he only criticized us because he loved us, "Lynch said.
Caray's age was unclear. The Cubs media guide said he was born in March 1, 1920, but other accounts had him as much as six years older.
Caray's funeral will be Feb. 27 at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago, followed by a private burial.
OLYMPICS:
Kwan, Lipinski hold first, second places
NAGANO, Japan — For the best female figure skaters in the world, it has come down to one more long program — four minutes to win an Olympic gold medal.
Michelle Kwan and Tara Lipinski, one and two after Wednesday night's short programs, can't wait.
The two American teen-agers were flawless, nailing every jump and every spin as they began their medal chase. Both positively glowed on the ice, the joy of their performances showing before the judges' scores were posted.
Now, they get a chance to repeat the show in the longer program, pursuing the first one-two Olympic figure skating finish for the United States since 1956.
CBS will feature the figure-skating free program on its Friday night Olympic show.
As Kwan skated through her short program Wednesday, her confidence and preparation showed with every move. She never faltered, almost putting herself on cruise control.
Until Kwan skated, Lipinski held first place. She positively glowed after landing each of her jumps perfectly, including the troublesome triple lift on which she had fallen in the nationals.
"The triple flip felt great," the 15-year-old said. "When I landed it, I thought, 'Everything is fine now.'" And it was.
said. "I felt like I wanted to cry. It is so exciting to go out and feel like you skated the best you could."
"I think this is the best short program I have done in a long time," she
Kwan and Lipinski handled the pressure without a blink but the third American skater, Nicole Bobek, was less successful. She fell on her first jump and struggled to finish 17 th, ending any hope of a U.S. sweep.
CBS Winter Olympics' coverage lacks viewers
NEW YORK — No Tonya, no Nancy,
no blockbuster rating.
The women's figure skating competition, the crown jewel of the Winter Olympics television package, began Wednesday night to less than spectacular ratings.
The show, which featured the one-two finish by U.S. skaters Michelle Kwan and Tara Lipinski, gave CBS a 20.7 rating/32 share. While that is the highestrating from Nagano so far, it trailed the 48.5 percent/64 share from Lillehammer by 57 percent and the 22.8 from Albertville by 9 percent.
The women's skating from Lillehammer, featuring Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, was the third highest-rated show in history.
After 13 nights of coverage, CBS is averaging a 16.5/27, 42 percent behind the 28.2/42 from Lillehammer and 16 percent below the 19.6/30 from Albertville.
CBS is on track to post the lowest Winter Olympic ratings since ABC's 13.5 from Grenoble in 1968. But the network has easily defeated its competition since the beginning of the Olympics. NBC has averaged an 8.4/13 in prime time, Fox is at 7.7/12 and ABC is at 7.4/12.
A rating point for CBS represents 980,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 98 million homes with televisions. A share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
