According to the Justice Department, the trial in Alexandria, Virginia, has been moved to January sixth.
Moussaoui is accused of conspiring with the September eleventh hijackers.
He is representing himself and had asked the judge for an indefinite postponement to give him more time to prepare his defense.
A court-appointed defense team ``on stand-by'' in the case also requested a trial delay.
Prosecutors had hoped to begin the trial this fall but the judge said the mounds of evidence were too complex to start so soon.

President Bush is slated to speak at the annual, national memorial service for fallen firefighters this October.
But the commander-in-chief is facing the distinct possibililty that firefighters may not attend.
Members of the the International Association of Fire Fighters say they may boycott because the president withheld more than 5-billion dollars in funding, including 1-hundred million that was earmarked for them and other rescue personel.
The president says firefighters should be angry with Congress for trying to "tie my hands".

Authorities say five of the birds were found in Roanoke City, two in Roanoke County, and one in Salem.
State health officials say they may end testing for the virus, now that they know it is definitely here.
But, they warn people should still report dead birds to health departments, so the state can keep count.
So far no HUMAN cases of West Nile have been reported in Virginia.

A study recently completed by two Liberty University researchers shows that an extract of the herb ginkgo biloba (GING-ko bih-LOH-buh) helps enhance cognitive functions.
Doctors Joseph Mix and David Crews studied 262 healthy people over the age of 60.. and found that those taking the extract called "Ginkgold" showed improved memory in 11 of 13 testing areas.
They previously had only tested a small sample of people.

I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE IN OKINAWA WHO ARE VERY HEALTHY AND THEY'RE LIVING
LONG, VERY LONG SO I REALLY THINK IT'LL HELP ME TO LIVE LONG AND AT THE

THE OKINAWA DIET CONSISTS MAINLY OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES, SOY PRODUCTS AND
LIMITED AMOUNTS OF MEATS, DAIRY AND FISH, TOTALLING ABOUT 30-PERCENT
FEWER CALORIES A DAY THAN CURRENTLY RECOMMENDED BY THE U-S GOVERNMENT.
IN OTHER WORDS, THAT'S ONLY ABOUT 1500 CALORIES A DAY FOR MEN AND
1200 A DAY FOR WOMEN,
THE DIET HAS GENERATED A LOT OF INTEREST BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO
OKINAWANS TEND TO LIVE LONGER.. BUT THEY GENERALLY SUFFER FROM FEWER
HEALTH PROBLEMS THAN AMERICANS.

CORONARY HEART DISEASE IS ABOUT 80 PERCENT LOWER IN OKINAWA THAN IN
AMERICA, BREAST CANCER IS ABOUT 80 PERCENT LOWER, PROSTATE CANCER ABOUT
THE SAME.
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT ANIMALS WHO ARE PUT ON CALORIE-RESTRICTED DIETS
ALSO LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER THAN THOSE WHO ARE FED A NORMAL DIET.
THAT'S WHY THE GOVERNMENT IS LAUNCHING A NEW 20-MILLION DOLLAR STUDY TO
SEE IF CALORIE RESTRICTION HAS THE SAME BENEFITS FOR HUMANS.
STANDUP (B-ROLLED AT END)
EXPERTS STILL AREN'T EXACTLY SURE WHY RESTRICTING CALORIES MAY PROLONG
LIFE.. ONE THEORY IS THAT WHEN THE BODY CONSUMES FEWER CALORIES, IT HAS
TO USE THEM MORE WISELY. INVESTING THEM IN ACTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION
RATHER THAN THOSE THAT PRODUCE TOXINS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE
DISEASE.
