The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com From PageS All of my other memories from the Daily - and there's a highway full of them - race after that one. But they cannot hope to catch up. Suhael is far too fast a driver. And when the light finally burned out in my cave, I felt like that other great traveler, like an arrow that has been shot out all of the way. Evan McGarvey Associate Arts Editor PM, AG, SO, AD, PSAD, BN, AK, LC, JB, KC, JD, RK, IS, KM, CG, EB: "...and it was nearly done, this frail traveling coincidence; and what it held stood ready to be loosed with all the power that being changed can give. We slowed again, and as the tightened brakes took hold, there swelled a sense of falling, like an arrow-shower Sent out of sight, somewhere becoming rain." -Philip Larkin or, in other words: "This was The Carter, Slam the door, GO!" -Lil' Wayne Amber Colvin Sports Night Editor I have three months left here, so I feel weird writing this goodbye. Anyways, here it goes. I used to hate this place. But somehow, I never got the courage to call it quits. Thank goodness, because sticking around turned out to be one of the best things I did in college. So thank you to: Daily Sports, for accepting me a little late in the game and finally making me feel at home at the Daily. The hockey beat (especially Ian, for the clementines). The people who go beyond the title "Daily friend," you know who you are. My par- ents, for their continuous support. Every- one at the CCRB who was always flexible with my schedule. The editors who hated me, for motivating me to prove them wrong. Sean, for waiting all those late Friday, February 2, 2007 - 7 nights (and so much more). I love you all - well, not the hateful editors - and couldn't have survived this without you. Stay classy! Katie Niemeyer Daily Sports Writer It all started with my first jeopardy party where I met Stephanie and Mike. Three years later, they are still two of my best friends. I learned a lot at the Daily - how to write a lede and write on deadline. Thanks to those who taught me that. It came in handy for med school essays. I had a blast not cheering at sporting events, which I didn't think was possible. And I loved the rush of seeing people read the paper I helped create, even if no one ever read my articles. But most of all, I made life-long friend- ships. Iwill cherish them forever. Thank you to the entire sports staff, the staff of summer 2005 (you made my 21st birthday spectacular) and all the people I have met in that little building on Maynard St. I wish I could have been there to say goodbye last night. I will never forget my time here. Thanks for all the laughs and hugs and icebreakers. I love us! Jamie Josephson Daily Sports Writer I walked into the Daily a nervous wreck only to come out a more confident, happier "JJock." Burke, Bremmer, Ellen and Megan - thank you for initiating me into Elections madness and bad foosball decisions. Thank you to the best beatmate, Anne! I'll always remember getting lost on our road trip (to State) and asking stupid ques- tions (oops, that was just me). A special thanks to Coach Burns for all of your outstanding quotes! A big thanks to my senior sports class. Also, thanks to all my friends (especially The Pad!) for reading my stories, or pre- tending to! Last (especially in beer pong) but not least, thank you to the "Daily Point" that has yet to expire - Matt. You went from being a (fortunate!) result of 'angry drink- ing' to, unbelievably, my boyfriend of 14+ months. You made Daily Sports and Michigan more amazing than I could have asked for. Nicely done - even for a lousy New Yorker. GO BLUE! Matt Singer Senior Sports Editor To the past: Ellen for introducing me to the Daily. Brady and Weber for keeping me here. Bob, Schick, Megology, Burke, Bremmer and Goni for making me feel like family. Ian for being a great mentor and having faith in me. To the present: To the seniors, it's been a pleasure working with you. Stephanie, from campus band to on the field at the Rose Bowl, it's been a unique experience, with some unforgettable memories. And, Jamie - the girl I didn't say a word to my first year-and-a-half here - I'm amazed how lucky I am that we finally found each other. Thanks for being patient through all the times this place took me away from you - I hope it's been worth it! To the future: Kevin, Jack, Brom, IanR., Mark, Jose - it's been great working with you all. Scott, you'll do a great job as MSE, as long as you keep enough of those brain and liver cells alive. And to the young guns - Nate, Chris H., Felds, Andy, Eisenstein, Courtney, Anthony, Alex, Chris M., Matt J., and Adam - you have the potential to take the sports section to new heights. Don't give up on this place. Leah Graboski News Editor Ciao. Christina Hildreth News Editor There are three groups of people on Campus: those who hate the Daily, those who love the Daily, and those who are indifferent. Those who love the Daily: Thank you. Most have no idea how hard this is, and when you read the paper it makes it worth it. To those who hate the Daily: Keep hat- ing, but if you complain, get your facts straight. Read the paper, find mistakes and call us out on them. Berate us for inaccu- racies and never let us forget what we've done wrong. We (and the rest of campus) need you more than you know, but we need you to be informed. Don't throw stones if you don't know where you should aim. To those who are indifferent: Fine. But you're missing good stuff. Seth, I love you. Without you I never would have left this place and for that, I am always thankful. Stephanie Wright Senior Sports Editor I didn't understand the true meaning of a love-hate relationship until I started working at the Daily. Sometimes I wanted to quit. Other times I didn't want to leave. But I stuck around, and I'm glad I did. Thank you to my family for listening to me complain about the Daily for hours on end. Thank you to the sports staff and espe- cially my beat mates. The teams we cov- ered may have been disappointing at times, but none of you ever were.. Thank you to the most amazing friends ever. We met because of the Daily, but I know our friendships will last long after we're through with this place. And thank you to the one person who can always make me smile. You never gave up on me, and I love you all the more for it. As for the people I hated ... you aren't worth mentioning, but you know who you are. James V. Dowd Magazine Editor Since I came to the Daily in the fall of 2003, I'd say I'm quite a different and bet- ter person for the experience. As it turns out, I leave working with numbers rather than journalism, but I'll never forget what I learned. Thanks Brady and The Realest for bringing me in and teaching me what it takes, and to Gennaro and Ian for help- ing me out alongthe way. Thanks to all the greatbeatmates - Amber, Nate, Ian, Mark, Levy, Jose, Jamie - the fun I had with you guys made it worth it. Thank you Katie, Stephanie and Singer for your friendship, even if we've somewhat fallen apart over time. And perhaps most of all, thanks to that punk-ass Chris Gaerig, Shubra and Bridget for the year of the Statement, I couldn't have made it through without you guys. My advice to future writers: Cover hockey, you will learn more from Red Berenson than you will anyone else. But no goodbyes. Walter Nowinski News Editor Karl, you called me the morning after I lost my election and asked me to join the Daily - it was perhaps the best phone call I have received. Thank you. I could not be happier that you are the new editor in chief - be fearless. Annie, you were wonderful when you edited my first story and are probably the reason I came back to write a second one. You taught me to push my stories to the brink. Anne, Tina and Leah, you guys were great and made it so it was always a plea- sure to come in to the Daily. Grossman, I trust that you have the commitment to keep the news section in control of the paper, and will run for Edi- tor in Chief next year. I am counting on it. Rafi Martina Opinion Columnist From what I gather, even a year's expe- rience on the Daily warrants me a senior goodbye. It's an awkward experience, to be sure. One years exposure gives me little opportunity to recollect memorable Daily events, and certainly no prerogative to impart any "wisdom" to younger staff- ers. Nonetheless, I'll take advantage of the free word space to (pretentiously) quote the wisdom of another writer not oft-cred- ited as a journalist. Among the horrors of war, Albert Camus paused for a moment of meta-journalism: In a piece strangely apposite to today's journalistic standards he derided the press'stendencyfor "appeals to the shopgirl sensibility" with "articles written to flatter the public's taste for the simpleminded or sentimental." Frankly, it's been a pleasure to work with those who haven't (for the most part) succumbed to the shopgirl sensibility. Hopefully some- where under the verbosity of my columns I've managed to do likewise. . the michigan daily MAY LEASES AVAILABLE!!! 1 & 2 THE CH bdrms. on central campus. 741-9300. 4 Bdrm. annarborapartments.net ing Rm.

For Friday, Feb. 2, 2007 ARIES (March 21to April 19) Refrain from being critical of children and others who are close to you. Remember Goethe: "Correction does much, but encouragement does more." TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because of confusion dealing with parents and bosses, you might feel bummed out about your personal life. But this is just-a passing trick with the Moon! It comes and goes very quickly. GEMINI (May 21to June 20) Heed that classic advice today that says, "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all." If you follow this, you'll have no regrets. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Money concerns are actually confus- ing. You don't have all the facts. Do nothing today, because to some degree, you're working in the dark. Wait until tomorrow. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) For some reason, you feel full of self- doubt today, and this spirals into wanting to avoid others because you feel less attractive. This is all illusion! (Neptune.) You're as wonderfil as you were last week. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because Neptune and Saturn are danc- ing with the Moon today, many people feel anxious or ftill of self-doubt. It's a depressing combination. But it's gone immediately! Relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don't worry if a friend seems critical of you, or vice versa. This is just a tem- porary misunderstanding. Let it go. Don't make a big deal out of anything. Don't even try to fix it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Misunderstandings with parents and bosses could arise easily today. That's because the Moon and Saturn are involved, and we hear everything as a criticism. Let it pass. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22to Dec. 21) You might doubt your knowledge about something. Someone could make you feel ignorant or uneducated. Dual take the bait, and don't be depressed. This feeling is gone by tomorrow. Phfi! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You value your security. This is why it's easy for you to be concerned about money and possessions, especially for the future, and especially if you share them with others. That's OK. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be patient with partners today, Pessimism is rampant, and this leads to misunderstandings with others. Cool your jets. PISCES (Feb. 19to March 20) If someone criticizes your work today, don't take this to heart. Everyone is crit- ical and full of self-doubt today. People will lash out. YOU BORN TODAY Without ques- tion, you're original and unique. You do things your own way. You're also very sophisticated and hip to the scene. You have a driving, youthful energy. You often become totally absorbed in your work. You appreciate fashion and cul- tare, bat you're not o stave to it. This year you wilt study and leamnsomething very important to you.
