Wednesday, November 5, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ve got a lot to deal with, but anger is not the answer. Take a step back, and do your best to rethink what’s occurred before you take action. Say little, and do what’s necessary to maintain peace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take a short trip. Make a visit to someone who can offer you insight, knowledge, or a helping hand. A partnership will help you secure your position and give you the clout you need to persuade others to share your concern. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can make a difference if you offer sugges- tions and implement diverse ways to use your skills. Your ability to find solutions will increase your popularity. Cutting domestic expenses will help you get ahead financially. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let last-minute changes bother you. Do your own thing. Show everyone how innovative you are, and you will build a support system that doesn’t depend on what others do. Ro- mance is on the rise. Check out an unusual interest. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get together with friends, or sign up for a course. The experience you will have and the knowledge you will gain will en- rich you. Getting back to basics and controlling your emotional response will help you bypass someone who is critical. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Getting involved in social events that are geared toward meeting new people and learning about opportunities in your chosen field will be enlightening. Don’t be too quick to make a move. Do your research first in order to get the best deal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let personal matters slow you down or stand in the way of your professional advancement. Interact with people who have something to offer, not on those asking for something or putting demands on your time. A partnership can help expand your financial intake. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make a concerted effort to get along with your peers. Overly reacting or taking on more than you can handle will not work in your favor. Choose self-improvement over trying to change others. Taking an unusual approach will prove beneficial. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen, learn, and put your findings into play. You can make positive changes that will benefit you at home and at work as long as you avoid making rash moves based on anger instead of facts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Emphasis should be put on being produc- tive at work, where you can make a difference to your financial future. Don’t waste time on emotional matters that are unpredictable and can only lead to upset and wasting valuable time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Group endeavors will be costly and lead to negative encounters. Think matters through, and put your money where you feel it will bring the highest return. Invest in yourself, not someone else. Follow your gut; don’t look back. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make financial, legal, or medical decisions based on the information you discover, and you will improve your chances on all counts, making your life fuller, richer, and less stressful. Love is in the stars, and a promise can be made. Happiness equals reality minus expectations. — Tom Magliozzi, one-half of Click & Clack on NPR’s “Car Talk.” One of the most revered figures on public radio, Magliozzi passed away on Monday. “Don’t drive like my brother.” THE DAILY IOWAN DAILYIOWAN.COM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 NEWS 7 Bobby Kaufmann wins in District 73 By KAITLIN DEWULF ty, with small portions Services and firefighter state Legislature for the had the chance to vote on man of the Johnson [email protected] of Johnson County, and volunteers, water quality upcoming budget year. the issue.

Big Ten honors IOWA NOTEBOOK Lacasse, Pickert

Iowa seniors Cloe Lacasse and Melanie Pickert were announced as first-team All-Big Ten selections Tuesday. The two have started all 19 games for Iowa this year and are only the Hawks excel at returns second and third Hawks to be tabbed as first-teamers in program history. “Cloe and Melanie are very deserving of earning first-team all-conference rec- ognition,” Iowa head coach Dave DiIanni said in a release. “This is a reflection of our team success this season and how much work the team put in for them.” Lacasse and Pickert rank first and sec- ond this year in goals and points. Lacasse has 11 goals and 6 assists, giving her 28, and Pickert has 7 goals, giving her 14. Pickert, also a team captain, has been a catalyst this year on a defense that ranks fourth in the Big Ten and allows fewer than 1 goal per game.
