Tuesday, January 19, 2016 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make career decisions, and pick up the skills that will help you qualify for a new position. Good fortune awaits if you put in the effort. Don’t be discouraged by someone who doesn’t see things your way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take the helm of any project you decide to embark upon. You will open up new possibilities through conversations with experts. Express your ideas, and interest will mount and advance- ment and recognition will follow. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll attract poor influences. Make up your own mind rather than giving in to peer pressure. A tendency to be indul- gent will leave you in a precarious position. Listen to the voice of reason, not someone using emotional manipulation. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put a little muscle behind an activity you participate in, and you will turn heads with your masterful way of pre- senting what you have to offer. A partnership looks promising, and talks will lead to a contract or commitment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll excel when faced with something new and exciting. Romance is on the rise, and making personal changes will bring you plenty of positive attention. Don’t let your popularity lead to conceit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will be in dire need of a change. Engage in something that will allow you to share your ideas with people who are uplifting and offer positive support. Don’t give in to someone using emotional tactics to control your every move. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Focus inward, and do your best. Make the subtle physical changes that will boost your confidence. Refuse to let someone you live with push you around. Make a difference by setting new ground rules. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Gather enough information to bring about a change or book a long-overdue trip. Take a stance, and opt to put your energy into working on something that you really want to see happen. You can offer someone help, but don’t go overboard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t be too quick to start something new. More information will be necessary if you want to avoid a huge oversight, cost, or opposition. Put your time and effort into your home, family, and important relationships. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s up to you to take action. Focus on your professional or financial goals, making sure that you are not being unrealis- tic. There will be a price to pay if you don’t pay close attention to detail. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make home improvements, spend time with family and friends, and take better care of your health and well-being. Don’t be fooled by a display of emotional tactics from someone who only wants your money and your sympathy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What you do to help a cause will also help you. Being involved in something that will bring about positive change will encourage you to make new contacts that will contribute to your life. Let go of the people who drag you down.

NOTEBOOK Bluder looks forward By MARIO WILLIAMS [email protected]

The Hawkeye women’s bas- ketball team relish that it’ll re- turn home for another conference matchup on Wednesday. The Hawkeyes will host Penn State, (6-11, 1-5 Big Ten), but de- spite that record, Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder doesn’t want her team to overlook the Lions. “I told the team to- day don’t be deceived by their record,” Blud- er said. “This is a team that is very good, and they’re shooting the ball better than they did last year.” Bludder In addition to head coach shooting, Penn State can be a very good rebounding team, and athletes such as Chase Coley and Megan Gus- tafson will be key in crashing the boards. Penn State averages 37.9 rebounds per game. In its most recent contests, Iowa has had issues keeping leads. The Hawkeyes opened up a 13-point lead at halftime over Michigan State on Jan. 16 but eventually lost by 7. On Jan. 17, Penn State put up 39 points in the fourth quarter against Michigan, and while the Nittany Lions did not win, Iowa must be prepared to fight off a late run. Turnovers and leads The Hawkeyes sit at 3-3 in the Big Ten, the three losses due to excessive turnovers, especially late in games. Iowa averages 16.5 turnovers per game — second-to-last in the Big Ten — and has the worst turnover margin in the conference. Men’s hoops SEE WBB, 8 riding high in streak Wrestlers prepare to
