HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 8).
You'll have to learn to balance and control the demands on your time and your money. You may be able to do everything, but not simultaneously. And if you get a windfall bonus, don't tell everybody.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6. Sometimes you get to be bold and assertive, and that will soon happen again. If you want to make sure you're right, however, you'd better devise a good plan.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
You have the inside track. The person who
has what you want will be susceptible to
your charms—after a few minor setbacks.
Don't give up.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7. There may be more to learn before true mastery is acquired. Theory and practice don'tyet match. If you dig for the answers, you'll find them.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7. Don't allow a loved one or a child (possibly the same person) to spend you out of house and home. Lay down the law regarding the budget.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6.
You're a natural optimist, and that's what you need now. You may not get everything, but you can sure improve your odds with your attitude.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7. Your path is blocked by one thing after another. Luckily, you're good at puzzles. You'll get through, so look forward to the challenge.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) Today is a 7.
Don't fright if money is still tight. Let your creditors know what's going on. They'll be very supportive if you keep them informed. And it's good to maintain the same sort of contact with your debtors.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
You don't have much patience for idle speculation now. You want a solid plan that will really work. Make them go over it again and again until you're satisfied it's right.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 6. Something you've been worried about can be prevented through effective communication. Start by admitting that what you thought would work could conceivably fail.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7. It'll be difficult, but not impossible, to convince influential people to go along with your theories. To do it, you'll need to have all the facts at your fingertips.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7. Discretion is a good idea, especially where money is concerned. You don't have to tell anyone how much you have or are planning to get.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7 Something you've been worried about can be prevented. Let your friends, and a gentle adviser, in on your situation. They'll help in unexpected ways.
Jury decides Pierce case
BOSTON — Three men were acquitted yesterday of trying to kill Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce in a nightclub attack two years ago. Two of the defendants were convicted on lesser charges.
The Associated Press
William Ragland, 30, Trevor Watson, 35, and Anthony Hurston, 33, were found not guilty of armed assault with intent to murder in the Sept. 25, 2000, attack in Boston's theater district.
Ragland was convicted of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a knife), and assault and battery. Watson was found guilty of assault and battery. Hurston was acquitted of all charges.
Pierce, not in court yesterday, could not identify any of the three men when he testified during the trial. He was stabbed eight times, hit in the head with a bottle and had a collapsed lung but managed to play in the 2000-01 NBA season, which began a little more than a month after the attack. An All-Star last season, Pierce averaged 26.1 points and helped Boston reach the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 14 years. He was a standout at Kansas.
Jurors deliberated more than four days before returning the split verdict in a trial marked by a change in testimony from two key prosecution witnesses.
Ragland faces up to 10 years in prison for the assault with a dangerous weapon conviction and another two and a half years for the assault and bar
Paul Pierce
tery. Watson faces two and a half years in prison. Sentencing was scheduled for Fridav morning.
Defense attorneys said that police rushed to charge the men because of Pierce's celebrity. Prosecutors said police found the right men after witnesses came forward.
"Paul's a good dude. He got us caught up in a situation we had nothing to do with." Hurston said
after the verdict was read. "He's a victim as much as us."
Two women combined to identify Hurston, Ragland and Watson as Pierce's attackers when they testified before a grand jury 10 days after the stabbing. But both witnesses changed their stories after reluctantly taking the stand during the trial. One woman fainted after the judge told her she could be jailed for three months if she refused to testify.
Prosecutor John Pappas suggested that the women changed their testimony because they were afraid of retaliation.

Phoenix radio station fires disc jockey for prank
KUPD-FM morning radio personality Beau Duran called Flynn Kile at her hotel and asked if she had a date to last Thursday's playoff game.
PHOENIX — The disc jockey who made an on-air prank call to the widow of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile was fired, the radio station announced Monday.
The stunt outraged St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and prompted an apology from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The radio station suspended Duran last week, but in a written statement Monday, general manager Chuck Artigue said Duran was fired.
Kile, a starting pitcher for the Cardinals, died from blocked coronary arteries in June while in Chicago for a game.
