GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take on a challenge, but don’t let anyone trick you into trying to do the impossible. Know your limits, and use your skills and talents wisely. Someone you do business with has a hidden agenda. Double-check all facts and figures. Scan this code to CANCER (June 21-July 22): Step up, and do something that will make you feel proud, useful, and see the DI’s latest bring you satisfaction.

Sports Friday, May 3, 2013 The UI’s sage of sports Kicking as a life lesson By Josh Bolander [email protected]

Iowa City native Nate Kaeding played football for Iowa from 2000- 2003 and soon became one of the na- tion’s elite place kickers. He won the 2002 Lou Groza Award, given to the country’s top kicker, and earned All-Ameri- can honors in 2003. San Diego drafted him in the third round of the 2004 NFL draft, and Kaeding he spent most of his retired nine-year NFL career as a Charger. Kaeding was voted to the 2006 and 2009 Pro Bowls, was named to the NFL All-Pro team in 2009, and is the fourth most accurate kicker in NFL history. He an- nounced his retirement from the game on Thursday. The Daily Iowan caught up with Kaeding and asked about why he de- cided to put an end to his NFL career.
