In relationships they are friendly, unselfish and always willing to help.

Although Pisceans will lend a helping hand for anybody in need, they must learn how to stand up for themselves and be more discriminating. Their over-sensitive and over-sacrificing nature makes them easily hurt. At work and in private lives they are seldom interested in money and lack responsibility. Constantly changing moods and shifting attitudes is another 'game' Pisceans often enjoying playing.

Romance Profiles - Pisces

　The sign of the Fish rules the House of the Unconscious, which says a lot about the world that Pisceans live in. A dreamy state is very attractive to these folks, one where some delicious secrets are hidden from their lover, only to be sprung upon them at the right moment. The Fish enjoys alternating between conscious and unconscious states, the better to develop a romance in their vivid minds. When it's back to earth, Pisceans are selfless and intuitive and love to serve their lover. Showering a partner with exquisite fantasies and other sweet things becomes a blissful (有福的) state for both. The emotions of the Fish run deep and can be rather erotic if their lover knows how to release them. Those born under this Water sign can flow like a river and have a sensitive and spiritual nature which can be quite alluring (迷人 的).

The United States has placed third place at the Women's World Cup football tournament in China.

The U.S. women took the field seeking to make a statement following a devastating 4-0 loss to Brazil in the semifinals. And they pressured Norway from the start, firing 12 shots in the first half compared to just three for Norway.

Abby Wambach was credited with a goal in the 30th minute when a pass from midfielder Lori Chalupny went off her calf and into the net. Norway's defense began to crumble in the 46th minute when Wambach easily tapped in a loose ball.

Chalupny added a 58th minute score on a deflected pass. Heather O'Rielly also found an opportunity to score just one minute later. Chalupny says the team achieved its immediate goal of rebounding from the semifinal defeat.

"After the game, it was a special feeling for this team. We did come here with a goal in mind to win first place," said Chalupny. "After the semifinal it was kind of a heartbreak. But we did come together as a team and really went after this game."

Norway salvaged a goal in the 63rd minute on a beautiful header by Ragnhild Gulbrandsen, who ended the tournament as Norway's top scorer with six goals.

The next major tournament for both teams will be the Beijing Olympics next year.

ome is where the heart is for Cancer, a great nurturer and protector of family, home and tradition। This sign is ruled by the Moon, and the Crab's emotions often swing with the cycle of that shimmering orb (天体 )। Catch that mood on an upswing (高涨) and you are likely to encounter a caring and devoted soul who can easily take the lead in romance। The strong-willed (意志坚强的), persistent Crab will usually get its way, but that's not a bad thing, since it usually means being drawn into a "shell" which is rife (普遍的) with carnal pleasures। As is natural to a Water sign, Cancer's moods can flow like a meandering river or rage like the highest seas। Either way, the Crab rewards brave sailors with a seductive nest in which to test many moods, feelings and emotions। Romance

Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant first started turning heads on the basketball court when he was in middle school। His talents dominated the game so much that high schools from all over the Philadelphia area watched him grow up। The almost six-foot tall seventh grader definitely had the make-up and genes for the game, as his dad was former NBA forward, Joe Bryant। Kobe developed his basketball skills under the watchful eye of his father, helping his mission to become a professional basketball player। He worked daily on his game, watching video, playing in the playgrounds and listening to his father।

When he entered high school at Lower Marion in Philadelphia, Kobe was a highly touted recruit। He proved that he had the skills and work ethic to be a star at the next level and the scouts noticed this। Kobe didn't let anybody down either, as he played on the varsity basketball team his freshman year। He wouldn't immediately be a superstar, though। Rather it was the countless hours of early morning workouts by himself in the gymnasium that escalated Kobe's talents।

Kobe became a better player every year he played at Lower Marion and soon enough, he had developed into one of the premier talents at the high school level। He sold out the games everywhere he played during his junior and senior years and he didn't disappoint anyone। He once packed the school gym so much that it caused a traffic jam on the main highway just outside the school। He went on to finish his high school career as the all-time leading point scorer in Pennsylvania history with a total of 2, 883 points। Kobe's highly decorated high school career made him the 13th overall choice by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA draft।
