Horoscope for Sept. 9 - Canton Repository

Posted: 07 Sep 2009 09:05 AM PDT

FOR WEDNESDAY

In the year ahead, a great deal of travel is a strong possibility for you. However, many of the trips will be strictly for business purposes with little time for pleasurable activities. Don't plan on playing, and you won't be disappointed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — In situations that call for disseminating important information, it will be wise to develop some type of written instructions. Leaving things purely to memory is not a good idea.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be prepared to encounter someone who wants to participate in an endeavor to which he or she has no right to be involved. Don't hesitate to say no to this individual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — This can be a productive day if you are competent about scheduling what you do and when you do it. Unless priority matters are placed at the top of your list, many may not get done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Co-workers or associates will lose respect for you if you don't show the courage of your convictions. Once you take a certain position, defend it against all comers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — As long as you are careful not to take any foolish risks or gambles, your financial trends will continue to be strong. If you are tempted to do otherwise, you're likely to lose what you gained.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don't mess with anything when circumstances are running smoothly for you. Change for change's sake will lead to all kinds of disruptions.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Being extremely clever and imaginative isn't always enough. If you treat embryonic projects as if they're already accomplished, things will never develop for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Although you have good earning capabilities, you are also likely to have strong spending urges. If you're extravagant and frivolous with your funds, you'll neutralize your gains.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Because you're a better-than-average achiever, the possibilities for success in competition are excellent. However, if you're not careful, you could easily be an ungracious winner or a poor loser.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — What success you have is likely due in large part to your allies and supporters, but since you expected more, you might blame them for what you didn't get.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Even though socializing with friends turns out great, the same amount of effort applied toward business or work activities won't suffice. They will take more work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — In situations where you do all the work and call all the shots, the results should be just fine. Conversely, partnership arrangements may do nothing but impede your progress.

Obama says US still faces complex economic crisis - Rapid City Journal

President Barack Obama says the country still faces a "vast and complex" economic crisis and is pledging to work with business and labor to make things better.

In a Labor Day statement the White House released Monday as Obama headed for a union picnic in Ohio, Obama voiced confidence that "working Americans will help our nation emerge from this crisis."

He also paid tribute in the holiday proclamation to the contributions working people have made over the course of history, saying they have "carried us through times of challenge and uncertainty."

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ President Barack Obama is tapping a member of his auto industry task force to advise him on manufacturing.

Obama chose a Labor Day union picnic as the backdrop to announce his selection of Ron Bloom as senior counselor for manufacturing policy. Bloom planned to travel to Cincinnati with Obama for an afternoon announcement at the AFL-CIO event.

Bloom was senior adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner as part of the auto industry task force since February. Bloom, a Harvard Business School graduate, previously advised the United Steelworkers union and worked as an investment banker.

Bloom will work with the National Economic Council to lead policy development and planning for Obama's work to revitalize U.S. manufacturing, the White House said.

Obama's speech to union members was the first of at least three speeches this week.

Meanwhile, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who will join Obama at the Ohio labor event, said Monday she sees "stabilization occurring" in the job market, saying some sectors have shown improvement.

But in an interview on NBC's "Today" show, Solis also said, "It's certainly not somewhere where we need it to be right now." She said the administration is deploying "everything in our toolbox" to try to steady shaky labor markets, adding that job-training efforts will be stepped up this fall.

"I would first of all say that we understand that ... this number (9.7 jobless rate) is very unacceptable," Solis said. "What I would like to say this Labor Day is, 'Don't be discouraged. Come visit our offices, get to know our staff, figure out if you need to plan out a new job, a new career, get into a new education program.' "

Obama's remarks were expected to touch on health care in advance of a Wednesday evening address to Congress on his proposed overhaul. On Tuesday, Obama will speak to American children as they begin the school year.

The AFL-CIO Labor Day picnic normally draws up to 20,000 people, union spokesman Eddie Vale said. AFL-CIO president John Sweeney and secretary-treasurer Richard Trumka were expected to welcome Obama to the gathering.
