I am not a very sensitive person, nor do I ever plan to be. I’m not the kind of person that cries during emotional movies and some may say I have a black hole where my heart should be. I simply respond by quoting the great Ron Swanson, “Crying is only okay in two places: funerals and the Grand Canyon;” both of which I have never experienced.

Madison is home to tons of history and sentimental hotspots. We have the big ones such as the Capitol, Memorial Union, Bascom Hill and many others. However, it’s the smaller, more unnoticed areas that are under attack.

Most student organizations here at UW-Madison provide a great service for the students and community. Yes, there are some student orgs like the Slappy Skateboard Club or the Wisconsin Lawn Sports Club that were created for fun, but they don’t bother anyone. Unless, of course, as a child, the neighbor boy beat you with a croquet mallet and now you are emotionally scarred because of it. In that case WLSC may upset you to some degree.

As the 2012 presidential election draws nearer and nearer, political commercials and propaganda are pounded into the minds of voters across the United States. So what does this mean for students here at the University of Wisconsin - Madison? As a new batch of freshman roll in, be prepared for student organizations, local lobbyists and the occasional nut job to spread their own opinions on who the new president should be.

I’m sure many of you know by now that Scott Walker survived the recall election. However, even though Tom Barrett lost the election, I don’t think Walker won anything to be proud of.

As the state gets gears up for what is sure to be an exciting recall election in the coming months I sit here wondering who I will be supporting. Fighting the urge to just go along with whoever my roommate, a political science major, chooses, I decided to do a bit of research.

Two years ago, Andrew Harris was terminated from his position as a seventh-grade science teacher for viewing and sharing inappropriate content on his computer. According to Wisconsin State Journal, some of Harris’ colleagues commented on how he would show inappropriate images during team meetings, at least once displaying pornographic pictures as students passed near an open door. However, just recently, an arbitrator ruled in favor of Harris, granting him his job back with back pay and benefits of about $200,000.

On Dec. 21 the mercury pollution saga finally came to an end.
The long awaited Environmental Protection Agency regulations were
finalized and put into effect. The new Mercury and Air Toxics
Standards (MATS) are the first ever national limits on mercury and
other toxic emissions from power plants. These new regulations will
ultimately improve people's health by requiring power plants that
contribute to air pollution in Wisconsin to use widely available,
proven pollution control technologies. These technologies will help
protect families from pollutants such as mercury, arsenic,
chromium, nickel and acid gases.

Recycling old electronics has been an important step in keeping
our environment safe. And yet, based on personal experience, not
many people take advantage of cell-phone and computer recycling
centers.

A little while back, I wrote an article about how a few
Wisconsin cities are known as some of the worst polluters in the
nation. Just recently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
came out with startling data, which concludes that Wisconsin's
power plants emit more mercury pollution than power plants in over
30 other states.

In the wake of a great economic downturn, Wisconsin has stepped
up to the plate. From January through September, Wisconsin's
agriculture exports increased 24 percent. Last year at this time,
Wisconsin exported $1.7 billion in goods, which is child's play
compared to the more than $2 billion in goods exported this
year.

If last week's weather is any indication that winter is finally
upon us, then be wary because snow will be piling up any day
now. For years, Wisconsin has used salt to keep our streets and
highways safe. When salt hits ice, it causes a physical reaction
that lowers the freezing point and causes the ice to melt so it is
easier to plow.

The time is finally upon us. The long-awaited concealed carry

areas in the United States.

Conservationist groups play an important role in keeping the

well.

In the beginning of the month, President Obama gave a speech to
Congress on his job growth proposal. While focused mainly on job
creation, Obama reiterated his support for environmental and health
protections. He stated: ""I reject the argument that says for the
economy to grow, we have to roll back…rules that keep our kids from
being exposed to mercury."" Obama believes that we do
not have to compromise for lower standards in order for our economy
to be strong again. America should be ""in a race to the top""
when it comes to pollution standards.

Last Week, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the
graduation of Brookfield East and Brookfield Central held at
Elmbrook Church did not violate any laws. The panel
reasoned that the ceremony did not contain any religious content,
so the public school did not endorse religion of any kind.
