HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
Talk it over with your team to work out strategy and schedule. Work in private, and delegate what you can. Do the research before making long-term decisions.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8
Communication outlets may not favor a revolution today. Postpone risk-taking (especially romantic and financial). A word from you helps a loved one. Move up a level.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7
Love is smiling down upon you, sprucing new tendrils of creativity, sprinkling you with magical magnetic attraction. Unpredictable changes could disrupt, so play it cool.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
If you feel chained or captive to an obligation, give up resistance. It only makes the imprisonment persist. Instead, relax into the confines and finish the job to be truly free.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 8
Put it in writing, even if you have to use a paper napkin. Take an inventory of your wealth, and you'll discover the answer you were looking for. No gambling allowed.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 9
You could be tempted to take a big chance, but think it over well. One thing ends and another begins. Don't go against your core values, no matter what. Watch your feet.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 9
You're ready to inspire and teach by example for the next couple of days. You jump over the hurdles with grace, like an Olympic athlete. You've got confidence and power.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
Procrastinate later. You're under some pressure, and it's best to be occupied, rather than preoccupied. Take short meditation breaks to stay focused.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8
There really is no way to prepare for the unexpected.
Sometimes blind faith is necessary. Angels guide your actions. Take on a tough job. Get help, if you need it.
Friends could help you clean up a mess. Discover your boundaries, and let others support you in expanding them. Say "thank you," and offer to do the same.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 6
It's adventure time. Summon up your courage to battle a dragon and rescue a prince or princess. Challenges feed you and make you stronger. You have what it takes.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 6
There's a decision to make,
and you may find all kinds of
distractions. It may even get
uncomfortable. In the end,
trust your instincts.

Rejuvenated, Wilco releases new album
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — It was three days before Wilco was scheduled to leave Chicago to start its tour, and the band was running through songs on its newest album, "The Whole Love," Next up was "One Sunday Morning," a 12-minute cut that is at once the most traditional tune on the album and its most subtle, with slight melodic tweaks and instrumental adornments throughout.
The rehearsal, however, was momentarily delayed. Glenn Kotche, the band's percussionist, was missing an instrument. Could someone, Kotche shouted, bring him his "chicken paddle"? The toy-turned-instrument is exactly as its name implies: a small paddle, adorned with wooden chickens. Shake it, and the chickens peck, although Kotche has modified it so the beaks hit a metal finger cymbal.
"I'm sure it's the first time someone brought a chicken paddle onstage." Kotche said. "I can take credit for that."
Wilco has never been shy about flirting with the unexpected, but not since 2001's breakthrough "Yankee Hotel Foxtor" has the band so freely utilized the studio, and never has the band sounded this consistently upbeat. Whether in the digitally enhanced exploiseness of "Art of Almost," the garage rock recklessness of "Standing O" or the orchestral psychedelics of "Capitol City," "The Whole Love" is the sound of a veteran band rejuvenated. It's an
Among the ranks of Wilco's accomplishments in its 17 years of musical adventurousness it is, admittedly, minor, but one that reflects the playful camarade that went into making "The Whole Love," due out Tuesday.
album that seems directly aimed at silencing those who would dare write off Wilco's continued move into adulthood as that despicable thing: "dad rock."
Credit consistency, "The Whole Love" marks the first time Wilco has recorded three albums with the same lineup _ or attribute it to newfound freedom. Like veterans Radiohead and Weezer before them, Wilco is going independent. "The Whole Love" is the inaugural release on the band's own dBpm Records, which has partnered with Anti-, an off-shoot of punk label Epitaph, for marketing and distribution.
In fact, the band believes it is entering its most productive period as a recording unit. "We can make a dozen different records if you stuck us in the studio tomorrow and gave us one week," Kotche said. "We can make straight-up noise. We can make straight-up pop. We can make a folk record. There's so much we have that we haven't even touched upon."
"This is a band that has chemistry, and that's inexplicable," Jeff Tweedy said during a break in the band's loft-space kitchen. "This is a band that has a certain amount of maturity, not just age-wise, but experience-wise, in terms of how many records everyone has made and been a part of. This band couldn't exist without having not settled for unsatisfying and ungratifying or dysfunctional situations before. Like relationships, I think a lot of bands go many, many years past where it is working in a functional way. We never had to do that."
It's a jump that seemed inevitable. Wilco capitalized on the digital-era confusion of the music business early, and the success
of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" has become the stuff of industry legend. It was to be the third Wilco album released by the Warner Music Group's Reprise Records, but the label rejected it. The album found its audience after the band gave it away free online, and ultimately, "Yankee" was released by Nonesuch, a label also owned by Warner. Wilco continued to work with Nonesuch through 2009's "Wilco (The Album)."

Still, the band has always mixed up its approach in the studio. For 2007's "Sky Blue Sky" the band recorded it live in its Chicago space with limited overdubs.
'Pan Am' premiere successful for ABC
The period piece about a 1960s-era flight crew jetted off with 10.9 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. That improved on the 9.8 million who turned out for the final season premiere of "Desperate Housewives," a strong sign that viewers at least wanted to take a spin on "Pan Am."
LOS ANGELES — The skies really were friendly for ABC's "Pan Am," which in its Sunday premiere was one of the few new fall dramas to show ratings promise.
In the coveted women-age 18-49 demographi, "Pan Am" thrust to 3.1

It remains to be seen whether the Jet Age soap can keep its numbers aloft, though. One week in the, the fall TV season has proved brutal to 10 p.m. EDT dramas, with new and returning programs slipping to record lows.
