HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 9)
You have amazing talent, and it's time to let others know. Set a goal that's so awesome you don't know how you'll achieve it. Keep pushing and it'll get easier. Your family will support you if you let them in on your plans. They'll even have some ideas you hadn't thought of before. Create work for other people, and you'll benefit. Take a flight of fancy, then celebrate your success.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Intellectually, you're amazing right now. You're also good in a practical sense. You can see an opportunity to increase your income and move on it quickly. You'll also be able to figure out what needs to be done in less time than usual.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Money and workload distribution are discussed. The person who does the most doesn't always make the most. Today, it looks like the person who does the best thinking and figures out how to use resources the most wisely will be most generously rewarded.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You're looking very good today, and you're absolutely brilliant. You're making an excellent impression on a person you admire. You're a great conversationalist all the time, but today, you're awe some. Cover as much ground as possible.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
This phase may not be all that comfortable, but you're getting a lot done. What you don't know, you can learn. Even jobs that used to be intimidating will seem routine. You're breaking through barriers. You're changing, growing, becoming wiser and more highly skilled. Don't be bummed by pressure. Rejoice in it.
Leo: Today is a 6.
The preparation you did yesterday will start to pay off today. If you didn't do any preparation, you're going to have to think on your feet. The action is fast and furious, with lots of changes going on. You're lucky now, so you should come out smelling like a rose.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
People will be in talkative moods today. If you can manage to keep them on task, you could be richly rewarded. You're one of the few people with the ability to take on a challenge like this. Keep them focused and you could wind up with a big bonus.
Libra: Todav is a 7.
Scorpio; Today is a 5.
Looks like things will go a better for you today. There were a couple of bugs to work out. You should have smooth sailing from here on out. If you get a chance to take off early this weekend, do it. Travel conditions are much better now than they were yesterday.
Sagittarius; Today is a 6.
There's more than enough information today. Your job is to determine whether it's accurate and whether you can use it. People will be interested in talking, so if there's anything you want to know, just ask. If you want anything to remain a secret, keep it to yourself.
Capricorn : Today is a 6.
Aaarius: Today is a 6.
This would be a great day for a party. Everybody's in the mood. It's a celebration of whatever you've accomplished by now. If you aren't quite finished, push to get it done before the end of the day. A friend has a lot to tell you tonight, so make time to listen.
Somebody has the information you need. If you can get him or her to talk, you're in. The challenge will be to steer the conversation in the right direction. Otherwise, you could waste a lot of time today listening to idle gossip. Be directive. You can get away with it.
You're always intelligent, but today you're awesome. The advantage is your charm. Not only do you have the facts straight, but you have the support of everyone. They want you to win, and that certainly doesn't hurt. Now's the time to ask for a big favor.
Pisces : Today is a 4.
You should be able to get something you want for your house today, but you may have to make that concession, you've been avoiding. A loved one wants things a certain way and you have other ideas. Go along with your sweetheart, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Kansan staff report
"What's most important right now is for me to see where the league is going, then look deep inside myself to make a clear-cut decision. So for now I'm keeping my options open," Jordan said in yesterday's Chicago Tribune.

CHICAGO — Michael Jordan still hasn't decided if he will return to the Chicago Bulls.
Jordan still wavering on basketball career
Jordan said he won't make his decision until the end of the NBA lockout,

which already has wiped out the preseason schedule and could delay the start of the regular season. He backed away from previous statements that he wouldn't play for any coach but Phil Jackson, who left the Bulls after they won their
sixth title in eight years.
Jordan told the Chicago Tribune it would be a challenge to win a title with a new coach.
"For me, if there's no challenge, I don't want to play," Jordan said. "But the Catch-22 for me is that I don't want people saying I came back when I shouldn't have, or I stayed too long."
When the Bulls won their sixth title in June and Jackson decided not to return, Jordan hinted strongly that he wouldn't come back.
Jordan, 35, said he is completely healthy, and the love he has for the challenge of basketball is still there.
But he told the Chicago Tribune that he isn't opposed to playing for new coach Tim Floyd or for an organization still run by general manager Jerry
"I played with Jerry there the last five or six seasons, and we've been successful," Jordan said. "I don't like it. But that's not going to be my final deciding factor."
Krause, who isn't one of Jordan's favorites.
Jordan had nothing critical to say about Floyd, the former Iowa State coach he and Jackson referred to last season as "Pink" Flovd.
"I don't fault him. I fault Jerry Krause for driving Jackson away," Jordan said.
Floyd said Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf told him he still plans to do his best to sign Jordan again.
Albert expects dismissal of assault, battery case
The sportscaster admitted in September 1997 to biting his former lover on the back in an Arlington hotel room. He denied allegations that he forced her to perform oral sex. In return for the plea, prosecutors dropped a felony sexual assault charge.
ARLINGTON, Va. — More than a year after Marv Albert pleaded guilty to assault and battery after a sexual encounter that turned ugly, his case goes back today to a judge who is likely to dismiss it.
Prosecuters wanted Arlington Circuit Judge Benjamin N.A. Kendrik to impose a jail sentence for the misdemeanor, but he refused and said the conviction would be dismissed if Albert got counseling and stayed out of trouble for a year.
"I'm absolutely sure that he's glad to have it behind him," Greenspun said.
Albert's attorney, Peter Greenspun, said Albert has met the judge's conditions.
Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Barbara Walker said she expects Kendrick to issue an order today dismissing the conviction. A court hearing will not be necessary, she said.
The charges stemmed from an encounter in a Ritz Carlton Hotel room on Feb. 12, 1997, Vanessa Perchah, then of Vienna, told police Albert invited her to the room after he announced an NBA game between the New York Knicks and the Washington Bullets. She said Albert attacked her after she refused his request for three-way sex.
Directory assistance has no telephone listing for Perhach, and her lawyers, George DePolo and Daniel
Morissette, refused to comment. During the four day trial, intimate details from Albert's 10-year relationship with Perhach were revealed, including claims that the couple had previous experiences with rough sex and biting.
Albert: is doing radio play-by-play for the Knicks.
The prosecution also presented a witness who testified Albert bit her and tried to force her to perform oral sex in a Texas hotel room in 1994. She said when she entered the room, Albert greeted her wearing only a pair of white panties and a garter belt.
NBC fired Albert from his job as the network's lead NBA play-by-play announcer the day he pleaded guilty, and he quit his other job with the Madison Square Garden Network.
He since has married his fiancee, Heather Faulkiner, and accepted a job doing radio play-by-play for the Knicks and anchoring a sports talk show.
