HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 8, 2005: You need to be honest with yourself about what you do and don't like about your life. You will have an opportunity in the near future to change your life if you know what you want. You are going to be much happier in your daily life, especially after the fall. As a result, others will want to be around you. You will meet people easily. You also might be considering buying a new car or perhaps a computer. You will spend more than you want, but will be very happy. If you are single, you will have a set of admirers. You might enjoy dating more than making a commitment. If you are attached, you love going out together as a couple. You get reacquainted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

SARTIGTIER (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★ You might need some downtime. If you can, take a personal day. Otherwise, steer away from crowds. You also might misread someone's comment. Focus on work. Check in with a parent. TONIGHT: BE UNAVAILABLE.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
★★★ You might not be sure which way to go. Even when others give you a strong sense of direction, you get confused. Delegate or ask for help, knowing that you aren't 100 percent present. Relax with a partner or associate. TONIGHT: GET HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
**** Do not follow your instincts right now. Go for facts and information, and find experts. Ask a question rather than make an assumption. Detach and take the high road. Don't listen to gossip. TONIGHT: LET YOUR MIND RELAX.
Rowling battles piracy
BY HILLEL ITALIE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Break out your iPods: Harry Potter is going digital.
J. K. Rowling, once publishing's greatest holdout against the computer age, has made all six Potter novels available for audio downloads. In a message posted yesterday on her Web site, Rowling said she was concerned about online piracy, included bootleg editions for which the original text was altered.
"Many Harry Potter fans have been keen for digital access for a while, but the deciding factor for me in authorizing this new version is that it will help combat the growing incidents of piracy in this area," Rowling wrote.
"There have been a number of incidents where fans have stumbled upon unauthorized files believing them to be genuine and, quite apart from the fact that they are illegal, the Harry Potter content of these can bear very little resemblance to anything I've ever written!"
BOOKS
The digital audiobooks are being released by the Random House Audio Trade Group, her current audio publisher. They can be purchased through Apple's iTunes store for prices ranging from $32.95 for a single book to $249 for the whole series, which, according to Random House, includes a "full color digital booklet" and "previously unreleased readings" by Rowling.
Neil Blair, a lawyer with Rowling's literary agency, said yesterday that there were no current plans for Potter e-books.
"It's very exciting that an audiobook both critically acclaimed and commercially successful is finally available to the very broad audience of people who enjoy downloading," said association president Mary Beth Roche.
Helped by the iPod boom, digital audiobooks are already one of publishing's hottest sectors, with sales nearly quadrupling between 2001 and 2003, to more than $18 million, according to the Audio Publishers Association.
Rowling's fantasy series, most recently "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," has sold more than 200 copies worldwide in print editions and more than 5 million as audiobooks, narrated by Grammy winner Jim Dale. But up to now the author had only permitted paper and traditional audio releases, making her work a favorite for online pirates, although illegal sales are believed to be relatively tiny.
