Iowa surpassed a milestone for wind en- ergy, getting 31 percent of its energy from wind this year, up from 27 percent in 2013. This week, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad an- nounced that Iowa cur- rently gets 31 percent of its energy from wind tur- bines, making it the No. 1 user of wind energy in the . University of Iowa Pro- vost P.

Friday, March 4, 2016 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Offer incentives if you want someone to do something for you. Perfection is a nice idea, but simply enjoying what you do will make your life better. Pick up whatever documentation or skills you need to follow your dream. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Share ideas with friends, and you will gather a vast amount of information that will help you make a decision about an organization you might want to join. Don’t jeopardize your health or a meaningful relationship by being stubborn or unrealistic. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Expect someone to try to entice you into doing something questionable. Be on guard, and strive to protect your reputation. You don’t have to get angry, just know when to say “no.” Making the right choices will help stabilize your future. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take advantage of any opportunity you get to work from home or to entertain your peers. Try to gain perspec- tive on how you can get ahead, and establish partnerships with the people with whom you are compatible. Progressive action will bring positive results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be wary of anyone who exhibits unpredictable traits. Only make the changes you feel comfortable with, and don’t rely on anyone else to cover for you or take care of your responsibilities. Do your own thing. Romance looks inviting. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Listen to complaints, and offer solutions. Expressing your feelings will help people relate to you and understand the endeavors you want to pursue. Get involved in an activity or group that is geared toward self-improvement. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Assess your current position and the people you are dealing with daily, and consider how satisfied you are with the way things are going. Only you can determine whether you want a change in your life and how to make it happen. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Reconnecting with someone from your past will get you back on track. Don’t hesitate to make changes to the way you live. Not everyone will be pleased with your decisions, but you have to do what’s best for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A problem with a friend or relative will develop. Express your thoughts in simple terms, and ask questions if you feel uncertain about what someone is telling you. Clear the air so you can make a decision and take action. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Attend a reunion, or make arrange- ments to get together with an old friend. Share a dream with someone who has the potential to help you grow it into something quite unique or prosperous. Explore your options. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your ability to be fair will encourage the people you deal with to express their ideas openly. Use advice from others to help you decide what you want to do next. A change in direc- tion or a chance to try something new looks inviting. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ask questions if you are in doubt. A part- nership will be enhanced by the activities and events you share and the challenges you overcome together. Don’t let uncertainty or insecurity cloud your vision or cause you to back away from someone special. Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It’s like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won’t fatten the dog. — Mark Twain THE DAILY IOWAN | DAILYIOWAN.COM | FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2016 7 SPORTS FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2015 FOR UP-TO-DATE COVERAGE OF HAWKEYE SPORTS, FOLLOW US ON TWITTER AT @DI_SPORTS_DESK DAILYIOWAN.COM HAWKEYES IN WONDERLAND IOWA 97, MICHIGAN 85 WRESTLING IOWA MEN'S HOOPS
