HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 24). At first you're busy studying, so you may not notice that you've outgrown your surroundings. You need more room for creativity. You know that dream castle you've pictured in the back of your mind? Put it on paper. You may not get the whole thing yet, but at least you can get going in the right direction
Aries (March 21 - April 19) - Today is a 6- A close friend is eager to offer suggestions, but don't accept them all. Some are inspirational, but it's your own ideas that will work. Proceed with caution when giving advice to a person who outranks you, and continue to exercise caution through Wednesday.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is an 8-Do you have a dear friend you haven't seen in years? Somebody you've been thinking about lately? Or, if you're single, a person you used to know whom you'd like to know again? It's a good day to pull somebody special from your past into your present. Make the call.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 7- Something you want is unaffordable. Pare your dreams down so that if you get one thing, you won't have to do without everything else.
Unless, of course, you can talk your partner or mate into buying it, which doesn't appear likely
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7- Are you in the mood for a little helpful advice? How about somebody trying to tell你what to do every minute of the nextthree days. Expect to hear some of this from the person or people you live with. Relax and enjoy it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6 - The work you've been avoiding is finally catching up.
Stop trying to hide from it. Turn and face it squarely. You'll be applauded for your courage.
Then, go find the manual and figure out how to do it, or ask someone who knows.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is an 8 - You may have spent all your money, but don't tret. There's more where that came from. Besides, you have something better. A person you think is just the cutest feels the same way about you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7- Things may not go quite as planned at home, but the end result may be better than you thought, even if it wasn't your idea. Encourage others to get involved in the creative process. If it's really awful, you can change it later.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 7 - You're entering a four-week phase where you'll be feeling more pressure. It's time to finish up old jobs, get rid of old stuff and prepare. Once this phase ends, you'll be in charge.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 7-Tell your friends you don't have time to play. You have business calls to make. They won't all be productive, but some of them will be, so make twice as many as you think you'll need. Don't demand an immediate answer. Call back on Thursday and Friday to make the sale.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 6-
You're getting stronger. You're less willing to
put up with stuff, and that could cause a problem.
Odds are you'll say exactly what's on your
mind — soen. Be nice. It could save you money.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7 - Trust your own intuition instead of what you hear. The rumors may be false, but your hunch is right on. Go along with old friends who urge you to take action. They'll point you in the right direction.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 6-Curtail your wanderings for a couple of days. Sort through the data you've accumulated and see what you've got. A seemingly insignificant item could be the most valuable of all. That goes for the stuff in your closets, too. Don't throw anything out till you've had it appraised.

BOBSLEDDING Olympic sledder returns to piloting United planes
"Well, I could say I feel safe, but actions speak louder, so I thought, 'I'm just going to go fly,' " she said.
SALT LAKE CITY — Olympic bobsled der Bonny Warner didn't let the fear of additional terrorist attacks keep her from flying again.

But after the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington, she rearranged her priorities.
"I'd like to donate money, but I don't have any money — maybe I can fly planes," Warner said. "If you get other people flying, it snowballs. We'll get America back. We can't walk around in fear."
After offering her services, United called the weekend after the attacks and Warner flew six flights out of California.
She is back on the ground in Calgary, Alberta, and does not foresee United needing her to fly again soon. She is training with new urgency for the premier of Olympic women's bobsled.
