HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 5) Love gives you strength, and your love has the same effect on others. You start out feeling fine in March. The money doesn't go as far as you'd like in April, and prospects for advancement may dim. Keep studying and practicing, because May could be the month when you finally break through. Abundance is a surprise in June, since it comes from an unexpected source. Avoid a gold digger in July — you can do better. Play by the rules in September, and change your style in December. Heed your inner voices in February to find true love.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
An argument with a loved one and a delay in travel are both very likely to occur. The overall outcome is positive, you will undoubtedly find a way to get where you want to go, and you and your sweet-heart will make up. So lighten up, OK?
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
Listen patiently as a neighbor shares her troubles.
She'll feel much better once she has, and it won't take much hair off your hide. You may feel like the friendly local garbage collector, but don't complain You're good at it, and that's why they come to you.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
You're daydreaming about distant places, but try to keep your focus closer to home. Approach an important older person with respect, and you might get just what you want. Don't ask a friend to intervene for you. This time, you're better handling it yourself.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
You want to get from here to there, but there's no easy way. Don't give up. A friend can help you find what you need, including a path around an obstacle. Ask somebody who's looking at things from a slightly different perspective.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
You should be able to have just about you want, but you can't, at least not yet. If you can just turn this sense of frustration into creative energy, you'll be amazed. You might actually achieve your goal, or something just as good, by tomorrow.
Don't give up.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
You may feel like others are ganging up on you, but don't despair. They feel strongly, so you should hear them out. If you are right, it should be obvious to even those with low intelligence. Let them discover your wisdom on their own.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
Make service your top priority. If someone else needs something done, jump right in and do it.
That's especially true of an older person who's in a rather nasty mood. Don't turn away; help out. You'll make the situation better for everyone.
**Scorpio** (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9.
You hold all the aces. Some of your friends are can fused, muddled, stumbling about. But you can see what needs to be done, and maybe even how.
Offer others the benefit of your wisdom, but don't let it get in the way of your fun.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
A loved one may be trying to talk you out of your life savings. Resist. You want to stash a little more away before you spend any. The more you put down, the less you pay in interest. Pay cash, and you'll save a fortune. Explain that to the cutie who wants more toys.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Somebody wants to talk your ear off about their great plans for the future. They may think they have it all figured out, but they need you. Offer your advice, but only when they're smart enough to ask for it. They'll value it more that way.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
The work is coming in, and it's partially your own fault. Trouble is, you don't know how to do what you've promised. It's risky business, but you can make it pay. You can read the manual while you're doing the job, can't you? This probably isn't the first time.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Travel could be more hassle than it’s worth. Money

KANSAS TENNIS
Men win doubleheader against Boise State
The Kansas men's tennis team swept a doubleheader on Saturday at Alvamar Racquet Club, knocking off Boise State and Missouri-Kansas City by mirroring 4-3 scores.
Kansas lost the doubles point in each match but rebounded in singles play. The No. 57 Jayhawks defeated No. 56 Boise State as singles wins by Eleazar Magallan, Quentin Blakeney, Pete Stroer and Andrew Metzler delivered Kansas the win against the Broncos.
The storyline was similar in the second half of the twin bill, as the Jayhawks bounced back from losing the doubles point against Missouri-Kansas City and defeated the Kangaroos. Kansas' first four singles players — Magallan, Blakeyen, Stroer and Barragan — all came out and clinched the victory for the Jayhawks, each winning in straight-set fashion.
Blakeney led the way with a 6-3, 6-0 win against 95th-ranked Mark Roberts.
The two victories gave the Jayhawks some momentum as they gear up for Wednesday's showdown with Texas & A&M at Alamora.

But then again, their performances in yesterday's 75-59 win against the Tigers in Allen Fieldhouse were right on the mark.
Kansas' trademark all season has been team play, balanced scoring and low-post dominance, which was something that Missouri couldn't compete with.
Kenny Gregory led all the seniors with 16 points and nine rebounds, with seven of them coming on the offensive end. Eric Chenowith shook off a slow first half and scored 11 points and hauled down six rebounds.
Luke Axtell, who started the game, was unable to come out for a curtain call in the final two minutes because of his injured back.
"He just couldn't move," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "He just can't get in a stance and in a stance to guard anybody."
However, Williams said he hoped to give Axtell some days off this week and get him ready for the Big 12 Tournament next weekend in Kansas City. Mo.
Although Williams was looking for good things out of his seniors, it
Sophomore forward Drew Gooden took that challenge seriously. He scored a game-high 19 points and was the fiery spark for the 'Hawks in the second half.
"I think he does that because a lot of seniors take pressure on themselves to win the game," Chenowith said.
"Drew was very emotional." Williams said. "I challenged all the underclassmen. I told them it was their responsibility for Luke, Kenny and Eric to finish the right way. The underclassmen have to take care of the old guys."
Gooden and fellow sophomore Nick Collison dominated the second half and helped spark a surge of offense in the paint. Gooden pulled down seven rebounds to go along with his 19 points in his second game back after breaking a bone in his wrist. Collison added 13 points with 13 rebounds.
And the outcome was fun for the seniors, because of Williams' challenge to the underclassmen.
"I think we did a better job of getting the basketball inside in the second half," Williams said. "I think we did a better job of what we were
Chenowith also said Williams just wanted the seniors to go out and have fun.
was the underclassman who he challenged to make sure the seniors left the fieldhouse for the last time as winners.
"We didn't want our seniors out there giving a speech after we just lost," Gooden said. "Everybody just gets to enjoy the rest of the day. The seniors get to give their speech feeling good."
At the half, Missouri had 16 points in the paint, compared to just 12 for the Jayhawks. By the end of the second-half onslaught, Kansas had doubled Missouri's output down low, amassing 40 total points.
