Follow your routine and make sure the regular chores get done. Ignore whatever else is going on. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8. Finally, some relief. A friend's eager to help you, but you'll need to maintain some control. Let this person know what to do to make sure you both end up winners. Your friend has the energy, but you've got the experience. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7. The game board's changed. Now you have to contend with somebody who wants to be obeyed.

You're full of great ideas but may find it hard to choose among them. Let somebody else. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 4. Hold your tongue around an irritating co-worker.

Love's on your mind, and you're not the only one Stars could be in your eyes before this day is finished. If you've already got somebody in mind, make the call.

Dreams come in all shapes and sizes, but this one looks fun. It can be done on a weeknight, too, not necessarily in the privacy of your home, either. How about booking a suite at that luxury hotel? They're sometimes cheaper on a Wednesday. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6. You can find a way to get what you want. It's complicated, but if it were easy, you would have done it by now. Private information leads to the money you need. Make sure you have a way to pay it back and that the interest rate's not too high.

Michael Sudhalter NFL Undefeated Minnesota not afraid to mix it up MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings are 5.0 but still will tinker By playing Randle at end, Tony Williams and nookie Chick Hovan were able to start together at the tackles. Green credited the move for holding the Bucs to 63 yards rushing; many stops came on key third downs. The Vikings' biggest switch Monday night in a 30-23 victory against Tampa Bay was moving John Randle from defensive tackle to end. He said opponents not knowing whether Randle was playing inside or outside was to their advantage. Randle's first sack came on Monday night's next-to-last play. He still thinks Randle, who is constantly double-teamed, will join Reggie White as the only player to record 10 sacks in each of nine seasons. Randle would need nine sacks in the Vikings' final 11 games to get there. Though Randle's move was considered a success, Green said he thought the defensive line needed to put more pressure on Tampa Bay quarterback Shaun King. Talane Sawyer recorded the Vikings' only other sack. "We did not get as much pressure as we wanted to." Green said.

The team reached its pinnacle in the championship game with a 19-18 squeaker against long-time nemesis Truman State. Truman State has three All-American players on its roster and is ranked nationally in the Top 20. The Jayhawks' victory was their first win against Truman State since 1993. Jason Ahrens, Oakley senior, scored two trys, — the rugby equivalent of a touchdown — for the Jayhawks. Danny Kehr, Prarie Village junior, scored the winning try with three minutes remaining in the game. "As a young team, this game made us realize that we have the ability to compete with anyone," said Rocco Danna, St. Louis senior The Jayhawks intend to prove that their victory against Trumar State was not just luck when they travel to Kirksville, Mo., on Saturday, November 4 for a match. The team has newly found confidence because of its victory. "We are gonna stick it to them," Danna said. Other members of the team said they were completely suprised by the victory against the perennial Heart of America champions. "I thought this would be more of a rebuilding year," Ahrens said. "We were able to find the right mix of people who played the hardest they ever played." Danna compared the victory against Truman State to what a football victory against a Big 12 Conference powerhouse would mean to the Kansas football program. "Like Nebraska in football, Truman are the golden boys of our league," Danna said. "They are bigger than we are but we just wanted it more than they did." Before the win against Truman State, but it had to pull double duty Saturday with first and second round games on the same day. In the opener, the 'Hawks defeated Missouri 18-6 with trys from Ahrens; Jason Daal, Wichita senior; and John Davidson, Olathe senior. The victory against the Tigers set up a matchup with Nebraska, a competitive team that gave national rugby powerhouse Wyoming a scare. The Jayhawks defeated the 'Huskers 22-13 with points from J.P. Davies, Overland Park junior, Daal and Ahrens, who scored on a breakaway run. Because of their stellar performances, six members of the team will be heading to Dallas this weekend to compete with the Heart of America All-Star Squad. The participants are Davies; Ahrens; Kehr; Kurt Whittington, Lawrence senior; Kacey Slusher, Leavenworth freshman; and Matt Kenney, Park Hill, Mo. sophomore.
