HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 8).
Your assignment for this year is to learn how to handle authority figures. You're full of good ideas in February, but subservience is difficult then. That will be easier in March. A lesson to be learned through experience is scheduled for April or early May. You could find the partner of your dreams in August, and the career you've been looking for in November. A friendship undergoes transformation in December, and by next January, the pieces all start fitting together again.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 5.
Hang on to your money today. You'll want to spend it on something fun, like going skiing. You might even decide to liquidate your assets and live on the slopes forever.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5.
Go along with a partner's whim today, especially if it has to do with your home, family or a household item. Real estate also is an adventure to get into only with your partner's support.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 5.
While you think you're doing a great job, you actually could be upsetting someone else. Just to be safe, keep checking to make sure you're on the right track What you're really asking is whether you're doing what the other person wants.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
This could be a rough day for some people, but it'll be neat for you. You've got a grand trine in water signs. You can't look out in the sky and see it, but we know that it's there.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
The sun is in Aquarius and the moon is in Scorpio. If you're stuck with a problem at home, maybe what you're missing is advice from a person who's job it is to save money, or bring it in.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Winter August 14.
You may find it difficult to think today. You have a tendency to ponder, ponder and strategize, and that's important right now. If you don't get anything else done today except setting up your schedule for next month, you'll still be money ahead.
Scarpio (Oct, 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
Money is your focus today, and you might as well get aggressive about it. Are you being paid what you're worth? If you're not, it's nobody's fault but your own. You need to raise your rates, up your prices or change jobs.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
You're strong, determined, energetic, good look ing, and you're running into a problem. It looks like an intellectual type is giving you a world of grief.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
Something you're trying to accomplish is not getting through, as if the other person simply isn't listening.
Perhaps you're not communicating effectively. One of the most important aspects of communication, of course, is listening.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
Capiton (Dec. 22-Jan. 17). Today is a day
Looks like what you and your committee want is not
available now. Apparently it'll take a little more
planning, a little more research and possibly a few more
fund-raisers. Don't despair, necessity is the mother of
invention.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
An older person wants to order around. That’s ridiculous, of course. You know everything, but this other person doesn't seem to care. He or she just wants the power. Once you understand that, the situation will be easier to deal with.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
You're so idealistic that sometimes it's difficult to pick one idea and stick with it. It's easier to focus today, and as you do that, you may discover there are problems to overcome between where you are and where you want to go.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Vols come one closer to near-perfection
The Lady Volunteers (22-1, 11-0 Southeastern Conference) won their 20th straight game and 16th in the past 17 meetings with Vanderbilt (12-11, 5-6) despite losing almost all of an 18-point lead in the second half.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tamika Catchings scored 26 points and No. 1 Tennessee held off a late Vanderbilt charge for a 66-60 victory Sunday.
The Commodores trailed 52-34 with 10:47 to play, then held the Lady Vols to one basket in more than four minutes, slicing the deficit to 64-60 on a free throw by Jennifer Holmes with 1:22 left.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Chamique Holdsclaw was intentionally fouled and missed the front end of a one-and-one, but Vanderbilt couldn't get two shots to fall and Catchings iced the
win with a pair of
free throws with
1.4 seconds left.
It was the first victory
by fewer than 10 points all
season for the
Lady Vols, who
came in with an
average victory margin of nearly 24 points a game.
Tennessee won its 25th straight SEC game, third in four days and second in less than 24 hours, before a sold-out Memorial Gym crowd of 15,311.
Vanderbilt was led by Jillian Danker with 15 points and Zuzana Klimesova with 11.
Holdswick, Tennessee's leading scorer at more than 21 points a game, didn't reach double figures until less than nine minutes remained and finished with 12 points, tied for her secondlowest outfit of the season.
Michelle Snow, subbing at center for injured Teresa Jera, also had 12 points for the Lady Vals, and Kristen Clement added 10.
Holdsclaw needs 18 points to become the all-time leading scorer at Tennessee, man or woman. Current New York
Knicks guard Allan Houston holds the school scoring record with 2,801 points.
Barkley leads Rockets past Golden State
OAKLAND, Calif. — Charles Barkley had eight of his 18 points during a 15-0 run in the fourth quarter and rookie Cuttino Mobley hit a decisive 3-pointer with 20 seconds left as the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors 86-84 Saturday night.
Scottie Pippen added 17 points, Mobley had 13 in his NBA debut and Hakeem Olajuwon had 12 for Houston.
Barkley, who posed with two
at courtside seconds before the start
of the second half, added 20 rebounds.
John Starks had 15 points in his first
game for the Warriors.
Pistons surprise Pacers for second victory
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Jerome Williams scored 11 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter to spark a Detroit rally and lift the Pistons to a 107-98 win over the Indiana Pacers Sunday.
Grant Hill scored 26 points and Jerry Stackhouse came off the bench for 20 for the surprising Pistons, who have won their first two games.
Williams scored six points in a 7-0 burst that gave Detroit a 93-86 lead with 4.49 remaining. Williams made two free throws, then a driving lapup, giving Detroit a 90-86 lead with 5:32 remaining. After Hill made one of two free throws, Williams scored on a rebound, putting the Pistons safely ahead.
Reggie Miller scored 26 for the Pacers. A basket by Antonio Davis — one of three Pacers with 12 points — pulled Indiana into an 86-86 tie with 5:65 left.
Two free throws by Miller closed the gap to 9.51 with 4:42 left, but that was as close as the Pacers got.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Louis Bulloch scored 27 points on Michigan snapped a five-game losing streak with a 75-65 upset of No. 18 Nebraska on Sunday.
Wolverines wipe out 5-game losing streak
Robbie Reid added 16 points and Josh Asselin and Peter Vignier scored 10 each for the Wolverines [10-14]
Bullock, limited to just eight points in Michigan's 58-34 loss Thursday at Northwestern, keyed the Wolverines' 56 percent shooting by making nine 11 shots. He was also 8-for-8 from the line as Michigan hit 25 of 35 free throws.
Michigan led 35-24 at halftime. It used a 12-0 run to open its biggest lead on 55-34 with 9:25 to play on the second of back-to-back alley-oop dunks from Asselin.
Kevin Clark's only second-half field goal, a three-pointer, started a 9-0 run for the Gophers that got them back within 58-50 on Lewis' jumper with 4:35 to go.
overall, 4-7 in the big Ten), who opened up a 21-point lead and withstood a late Gophers rally.
Big Ten scoring leader Quincy Lovelad Minnesota (14:6, 5-5) with 23 points, including 13 in the last 5:32 when the Gophers trimmed Michigan's lead to five.
Lewis scored eight points in a 1:28 span and later added a three-pointer as the Gophers made it 67-62 on a Mitch Ohnstad triple at the 57-second mark. But the Wolverines made six free throws the rest of the way to put the game out of reach.
former heavyweight champion
Judge sentences Tyson to one-year term
He hod heard about the fragile family man who likes helping his community and the volatile and angry monster who could snap at any moment.
ROCKVILLE, Md. — Before sending Mike Tyson back to jail, Judge Stephen Johnson discussed the two sides of the
In the end, the judge decided it wasn't possible to tell which Tyson would be walking the streets of a community at any given moment. He gave the 32-year-old fighter one year behind bars for assaulting two motorists, a sentence that jeopardizes the career of one of boxing's greatest heavyweights.
Johnson called it the incident "a tragic example of potentially lethal road rage." Tyson's lawyers, through a series of witnesses, portrayed it as the act of a man under stress because of mounting debts and the revocation of his boxing license.
The standing-room-only crowd in the courtroom groaned in surprise when Johnson announced the sentence. Tyson slumped, but barely. His wife, Monica, was in tears. She tried to get to him, but couldn't push her way through a crowd of bailiffs.
"Witnesses say he is kind, caring and thoughtful," Johnson said. "Unfortunately, this court cannot look into the defendant's mind. ... He repeatedly speaks and acts compulsively and violently."
"I think this was clearly a case of making an example of Michael one more time," said Michael Steele, Monica Tyson's brother. "The prosecution in this case doggedly pursued this. He wanted to put one in his column — 'I got a celebrity, I'm making a point."
"He felt like he couldn't provide for us," testified Monica Tyson, fighting back tears. "My husband is a good, kind person. He's got his life together, and he's doing the right things."
Tyson kicked one motorist and punched another after a minor three-car accident in Gaithersburg, Md., on Aug. 31. In December, Tyson pleaded no contest to two counts of second-degree assault — meaning he neither protested the charges nor admitted guilt.

An Automatic Back Scratcher
You could win $300 for putting a golf ball on a tee.
How you ask? Simply enter the American Society of Mechanical Engineering's Rube Goldberg Contest. Rube Goldberg was a $20^{\mathrm{th}}$ century cartoonist who drew cartoons of accomplishing simple tasks in a complicated way (see cartoon below). The purpose of the contest is to set up a number of machines/devices (12 steps minimum) into a single machine that will put a golf ball on a tee. Number of people on a team is not restricted, but only one person will be allowed to present the machine. The contest will be held during Engineering Expo on Friday, February $26^{\mathrm{th}}$ at 2:00pm in Learned Hall (third floor).
