Thursday, February 13, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Complete unfinished business, then take a little time to do the things you enjoy or to be with someone you love. Make plans or find a way to build up your assets. Invest, make a move, or set up a new budget. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid meddlers trying to find out about your pri- vate business. Focus on the things you want to do and the people you enjoy spending time with most. Make changes to your home, but ask for approval if you’ll affect others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Talk will get you what you want. Your charm, cou- pled with your confident way of expressing your ideas, will draw attention and should result in offers. Be sure you don’t exaggerate or promise some- thing you cannot deliver. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Expect to experience changes regarding how you earn your living. Don’t let anything or anyone upset you or cause you to falter when you should be focused on doing the best job possible. Overreacting will be what gets you into trouble. Stay calm. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leave important decisions until you feel certain you are making the right choice. A change of scenery will help you clear your mind, giving you a fresh look at old problems. Be careful with money and possessions. Loss is likely. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take charge. Don’t be afraid to express what you want and your plan for making your dreams come true. Include the people you care about in your plans, and you will find a way to get things done faster. Love is highlighted. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take note of how others are reacting. Listen care- fully, remain calm, and look for reasonable solutions that will buy you the time and the freedom to do the things that interest you the most. Use your intuitive intelligence, and you will get your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Learn from mistakes. Don’t let emotions interfere with decisions that can influence how much you earn or the way you do business. Be creative, handle domestic matters unconventionally, and you will bypass or put an end to any trouble you face. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take care of medical, financial, or legal problems before they escalate. It’s important to make necessary changes at home before they are forced on you. Helping others will show your concern and bring you something good in return. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do whatever needs to be done. Asking for help or depending on someone else will lead to disappointment. Poor information regarding a financial matter is likely. Do your research before you spend on something that can influence your assets. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Serious talks will bring interesting results. You may not see the value in what’s being offered initially, but look closer, and you will discover a multitude of options that will help you advance. A change of heart will be to your benefit. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t be confused by what others do or say. Rely on your own resources to find out exactly what you need to know in order to close a deal or invest in something of interest. Romance will improve your personal life.

LATE SHOT LIFTS NO. 1 SYRACUSE

PITTSBURGH — Tyler Ennis took the inbounds pass with 4.4 seconds Logic says Logic is best left and dribbled up court, weaving through Pitt’s defense. He had the option of shooting or passing to Trevor Cooney. The Syracuse freshman guard decided to shoot. It was the right decision. Ennis made the 35-footer at the buzzer, and No. 1 Syracuse remained unbeaten with a 58-56 victory over No. 25 Pitt on Wednesday night. “I saw someone ran over to Trevor and I just had to beat one guy,” Ennis said. “I knew they weren’t going to let Trevor get it. I just had to get some space. I knew I could get open for a second.” Syracuse (24-0, 11-0 ACC) and Wichita State are the lone undefeated teams in Division I. Talib Zanna, who led Pitt (20-5, 8-4) with 16 points and 14 rebounds, hit two free throws after being fouled on a lay-up attempt to give the Panthers a 56-55 lead before Ennis’ winner. Pitt coach Jamie Dixon called a time-out after the free throws to set his defense. That also allowed Syracuse to draw up a play designed for its fearless freshman. “We guarded it about as well as you could guard it,” Dixon said. “He made about a 40-footer. We did what we were supposed to do. If we had to do it again. … We did the right things. “They were going to get a shot off. He made it, and he made a tough one. We knew he’d have the ball and would be the guy. We had two guys on him. He hit the shot. Our guys defended, and he hit a shot.” It was Pitt’s first loss at home to a Iowa guard Samantha Logic lays the ball up in the game against Indiana on Jan. 25 in Carver-Hawkeye.

Dances that scream

By Cassidy Riley [email protected]

You can feel the adrenalin coursing through your veins as the sound of the violin gets quick- er and quicker until its pace matches your rac- ing heart. Fast. So fast you can imagine the vi- olinist’s bow coursing back and forth and back again across the instrument’s tight strings while the dancers leap across the stage. They push away the air and stretch their arms and legs as if trying to mark their territory — pro- tect it from an invisible enemy. But unexpectedly, the music slows. The violin moans long and sad as if crying for the dancers, whose moves become more introverted. Rather than fighting their concealed foe, the fight -be comes against themselves as they cross their arms over their bodies and shrink to the floor.
