HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (Oct. 16)
The stars are shining down on you tonight. Your birthday will lead you to an early start to the weekend. Throw the books aside and go out with some friends. You will be the highlight of the night.
Aries: Todav is a 7.
You have been climbing your Jacob's Ladder rung by patient rung, and today the view begins to improve. To avoid losing your grip, keep progress slow and steady. You are more than halfway to your goal.
Taurus: Today is a 9.
Today you are the Sure Thing, the flower that blooms, the promise that comes true. Make the most out of being at the center of everyone's attention. If you are not yet in love, today leaves you no excuses.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Clean those Tape heads early in the day to ensure accuracy in the information you record and replay. You are a person with an opinion, not just a parrot of facts. Be tacitual when addressing difficult issues.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
This may be the day to plan your Fraternity Vacation, or a similar group activity with those close to you. High spirits result in crazy ideas, some of which may have merit. Use your momentum for follow through.
Leo: Today is a 5.
You thought you were The Player, but today you feel more like the pawn. Trying to effect a change leaves you spinning helplessly in a whirl of events. Put all illusion and ambition on the back burner and be aware of your surroundings.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Saaittarius: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Even if your I.Q. is enormous, you are not guaranteed smooth interpersonal relationships. Your know-it-all attitude could lead to a hard time with a partner or co worker today. Do not overindulge in food for thought.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
The seemingly unimportant details of your life are No Small Afraid today. The machinery of the gods requires an occasional systems check. You may need to put some personal business on hold.
Assuming that you have Nothing to Lose could result in triumph or disaster today. A rare financial opportunity presents itself. Greed can be a powerful opponent if you are trying to compromise.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
Your power suit is Ready to Wear, and your day is off to a splendid start. Business is your art today, or perhaps art is your business. You have fun leaving behind a trail of impressive accomplishments.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Today you are The Moviegear, watching the world pass by with delight. Interacting with others is an even better sport than spectating. Feast your heart as well as your eyes.
Today you feel like just another faceless clone in a line of Toy Soldiers, marching nowhere in frozen lock step. Your sense of duty is stronger than your urge to defect. If lonely, seek companionship.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
NFL owners yesterday awarded the city the 2003 title game, to be played in a new stadium that will replace 3Com Park.
WASHINGTON — Four years later than originally planned, the Super Bowl will make its first visit to San Francisco.
San Francisco to hold Super Bowl in 2003
The owners had initially awarded the 1999 Super Bowl to San Francisco, but that was contingent upon a proposed $26 million upgrade to 3Com Park. Instead, voters in June approved a $525 million mall and stadium complex to be built next to the current park.
NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue had promised that the league would grant San Francisco a later Super Bowl to replace the 1999 game if voters endorsed the new stadium plan.
The Super Bowl will be played in San Diego in 1998. Miami has been given San Francisco's spot in 1999. Atlanta will play host in 2000 and Tampa in 2001. The site of the 2002 game will be decided at the owners' spring meeting.
Land speed record exceeds sound barrier
Fifty years and one day after man broke the sound barrier in the air, a British racing team took advantage of cool, clear weather yesterday for back-to-back runs that pushed the land speed record to supersonic heights.
GERLACH, Nev. — The land speed record has finally surpassed the speed of sound.
Richard Noble's jet-powered car, with Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green at the controls, ran 759.333 mph on its first run and 766.109 mph on the second. Under a formula
used by the United States Automobile Club, which times the runs, the record was set at 763.035. The speed of sound, which varies according to weather and altitude, was calculated yesterday morning at 748.111 mph.
The two runs had to be made within an hour of each other for the record to be official.
Noble, 51, held the land speed record himself, set here on Oct. 4, 1983, at 633.46 mph, until Green, 35, broke his mark Sept. 25 with a two-way average speed of 714.144 mph.
ALAMEDA, Calif. — A silver and black helmet, shoulder pads and uniform pants surrounded the empty locker of Oakland Raiders cornerback Larry Brown. A piece of scrap paper advised: "Keep your head up."
To set an official record, the Thrust SSC team had to make two supersonic runs in opposite directions within an hour.
Noble had said earlier that his ultimate goal is the speed of sound, also called Mach 1, plus 10 percent. That would be Mach 1.1. Today's record was calculated at Mach 1.02.
"It was a magic morning," Noble said.
Brown was gone yesterday after being suspended for four weeks by
the kinders for conduct detrimental to the team. Left behind was a tape of the Denver offense which Brown
for Oakland since signing a five-year, $12.5 million free agent contract before last season. He missed most of last year because of a foot injury and has been on the bench for most of this season.
had been preparing to face this Sunday.
The Raiders informed the NFL Players Association on Tuesday that Brown was being suspended for four weeks without pay, plus a fine of one game paycheck. That is the maximum allowed for a suspension for conduct detrimental to a team.
Brown told the "Contra Costa Times" that the Raiders said he was being suspended for not practicing hard. He accused the team being out to get him and of punishing him so the Raiders could avoid paying him.

NEW YORK — Mike Tyson was ordered to pay boxer Mitch Green $45,000, even though a jury ruled yesterday the former heavyweight champion was provoked into a Harlem street fight in 1988.
Brown was the 1996 Super Bowl MVP for Dallas, but has been a bust
Green, who was seeking $25 million, stood ringed by four court officers in the courthouse hallway after the verdict, offering no reaction. Tyson, in court when the verdict was returned, left without commenting.
The panel, after six hours of deliberations during two days, gave Green the money for injuries stemming from the brawl outside a 24-hour clothing store. But it refused to grant punitive damages.
five-stitch cut over the bridge of his nose and a swollen left eye in the street fight.
"This is a moral victory because Mitch Green always claimed he was sucker-punched by Mike Tyson," said Green's lawyer, Alan Rich. "Obviously, the jury didn't feel that the injury was as serious as we did."
Tyson forced to pay for street fight injuries
At the request of Tyson's lawyer, state Supreme Court Justice Elliott Wilk also issued a 30-day order of protection requiring Green to stay away from Tyson.

Green received a broken nose. a
Cal basketball coach to remain at university
Braun signed an eight-year contract with Cal on Tuesday, removing himself from the list of candidates to replace Steve Fisher, fired by Michigan last week.
BERKELEY, Calif. — Silencing speculation that he would jump at the chance to coach at Michigan, California basketball coach Ben Braun said he was staying put.
Although he originally planned yesterday to meet with Tom Goss, Michigan's new athletic director, Braun said he decided it was unfair to continue any talks after Cal offered him additional money and two extra years on his contract.
Fisher was fired by Goss, who said the basketball program needed new direction. The firing came after an outside study citing three NCAA violations that the university termed as minor.
Athletic director John Kasser said the announcement solidifies the future for the Golden Bears. He said offering an eight-year contract was unusual, but it was necessary to keep Braun.
