Of all the stressful activities I experience in a day—writing last-minute essays, deciding what to do after college/where to do it/how to do it/if I can do it—one of the greatest stresses occurs early in the morning. Around 10:15 a.m. after I wake up, take a good shower, and consider joining the rest of civilized society by getting dressed, I pick out my underwear.
Be honest: coming into this football season, how good did you think Wisconsin was going to be?
Wisconsin is eligible to receive $250 million in federal Race to the Top funds, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
The big winner in the box office this past week was Robert Zemeckis' update of Charles Dickens' ""A Christmas Carol,"" a film that has already been made countless times. Once again, Zemeckis decided to experiment with motion capture animation, in which the actors do their scenes in front of green screens, and then animated versions of them are placed into animated backgrounds.
Last Thursday, Gov. Jim Doyle sent out an executive order clarifying an existing statute on health insurance to young adults. This would allow citizens in their 20's to be covered under their parents' health-care plan starting January 1 next year. Any Wisconsin resident would be eligible if you are between 17 and 27 years of age, unmarried, and either not eligible for health coverage through your employer or your premium contribution is more than the amount your parents would pay to add you to their plan. Currently, only childless full-time students can stay in their parents plan till the age of 25. But with the passage of this new policy, potentially 100,000 young adults in Wisconsin could benefit.

""Bright Star"" satisfies a hunger we may not have known we had: a hunger for an elegantly done, emotional love story. The passion on screen is burning and heatwarming and continues after you leave the theater.
Once the previews for the Nora Ephron novel-turned-movie, ""Julie and Julia"" hit the TV, I knew I was a goner. A self-proclaimed food enthusiast who likes to make as many goodies from scratch as possible, I tend to tackle projects in the kitchen that take me hours, even days, to complete. Therefore it's no surprise that I really empathized and connected with Julie, a woman coping with post-9/11 stress as a customer support representative for the New York City Building Planning Commission.
Thirty-seven job applications, then eight e-mail rejections and nothing more. This isn't the worst nightmare of a recent graduate, but a harsh reality facing many college students. Even though the economy seems to be on the mend, the employment rate is diving further. At the university level, job losses may go by hundreds, while working opportunities come in single digits. In this climate, part-time positions, also a top choice for students, take the hardest hit.
It may seem a quite bold for a player making his first start to call that he will force a turnover on the next play. But when you deliver on that prediction, as freshman linebacker Mike Taylor did on Saturday against Northern Illinois, that is another story.
Mayor Dave Cieslewicz publicly endorsed plans for the complete renovation of the city's Central Library at a press conference Monday morning.
Now, I'm not one to claim I can foresee the future. I'm certainly no psychic, but I did watch two episodes of ""Crossing over with Jonathan Edwards"" once. I also totally called that Lance Bass was gay. Swish!
""Inglourious Basterds,"" the latest film directed by Quentin Tarantino, is obviously designed to provoke strong responses; so far, it has certainly made good on this objective. Depending on who you ask, the film is either morally reprehensible or an idiosyncratic tribute to the power of cinema. But perhaps it's most useful to think of the film as a stage in the development of Tarantino's style: ""Basterds"" is highly allusive, remarkably unsubtle, formally bold and insanely well-written.

The UW Cinematheque concluded its annual Pan-African Film Festival on July 30 with Juju Factory,"" a Congolese/Belgian film originally released in 2007. The Cinematheque's summer schedule, while much too brief, provides us with the invaluable opportunity to catch international films we may never again be able to see. Yet ""Juju Factory,"" which isn't currently available on DVD or on the Internet, proved that it warranted screening for reasons beyond its relative obscurity.
Having released three full-length albums in five years, Grizzly Bear have taken plenty of time to develop as songwriters between releases, and their progression is fascinating. They have maintained a signature sound and achieved consistent, reliable results while managing to grow sonically from album to album. On their latest release, Veckatimest, they've reached a point where they are now appealing to all brands of indie listeners.
Wilco does not need to prove anything anymore. Even though Sky Blue Sky received mixed responses, they are at a point in their career when their work has finally been circulated to anyone interested in hearing the best contemporary music, and everyone seems to agree they belong—at the very least—around the top. Audiences now have their first chance to hear the self-confidence that comes from that type of recognition on Wilco (the album).
