After a spring of controversy, the state Legislature appears set to ignite another political firestorm regarding a hotly contested issue: Margarine.
In an attempt to combat Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair law, state Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, introduced a constitutional amendment Monday to permanently protect the rights of public employees to collectively bargain.

The Student Services Finance Committee approved WSUM's 2011-'12 budget and discussed funding for the Union and Recreational Sports Monday. The student radio station's budget was approved at $319,523, $6,064 higher than WSUM's proposed budget after SSFC voted to increase worker stipends. SSFC Representative Cale Plamann motioned to raise salaries from the work study rate of $4.60 to $9.19, ensuring the station will not be dependent on finding work study students for the positions. ""Pretty much every dime seems to be accounted for,"" Plamann said. ""But I would prefer to know that WSUM has the money it needs."" The committee also discussed the Rec Sports and Union budgets. Rec Sports' biggest request was $400,000 for maintenance fees, raising student segregated fees that go toward Rec Sports to $2.38, a 15.51 percent increase from 2010-'11. Although a referendum to increase student segregated fees for funding a new Natatorium failed last April, Rec Sports Director Dale Carruthers said he still hoped to proceed with plans to build the Natatorium within the next 10 years in order to avoid costly annual maintenance efforts. ""A major renovation is never far from our mind,"" Carruthers said. ""When students are ready for us to move forward on that, we're ready."" The majority of the committee said they agreed. ""We're past the point of the referendum, but we can definitely look to the future,"" SSFC Chair Matt Manes said. Union representatives said architects are assessing necessary repairs for Memorial Union, including updating the theater and the Hoofers' area while fixing accessibility and space issues. Representatives said they hoped to offset the burden of higher segregated fees from Union South construction by fundraising for Memorial Union repair funds. SSFC members also recommended that Union membership for at-large community members increase much higher than alumni memberships, especially since segregated fee contribution is expected to increase by 8.36 percent in the coming year.
After the Assembly passed the budget repair bill early Friday morning, tens of thousands of demonstrators turned out at the Capitol, culminating in the largest protest to date Saturday.
It's been a week since the 14 Democratic state Senators fled Wisconsin. Tens of thousands of different protesters have marched at the Capitol but one thing remains unchanged: Gov. Scott Walker refuses to negotiate on his budget repair bill.
Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill may be in jeopardy as rumors swirl around seven Republican state senators said to be on the fence about supporting the legislation.
Recently, rumors have been circulating around campus that the UW-Veterinary School plans to absorb the recent $800,000 budget cut by terminating the special species program. Special species include exotic pets such as turtles, snakes, rabbits, birds, and sometimes the occasional domestic skunk. Cutting the relatively small, but far reaching, program would devastate Midwest exotic pet owners and rob veterinary students the opportunity to gain valuable, hands-on experience. Good thing this rumor is not at all based on fact.
Hollywood really doesn't know what to do with film noir anymore. Not since 1997's ""L.A. Confidential"" has there been a truly successful major studio film noir effort. Instead, the genre has been littered with missteps such as ""The Good German"" and ""The Black Dahlia,"" forcing fans to go elsewhere for their regular dosage of sardonic gumshoe protagonists embroiled in sleazy, sensual plotlines. Film noir has flourished in independent and foreign cinema, with films like Rian Johnson's ""Brick"" and the Korean drama ""Mother"" earning considerable critical success. Recently released crime thriller ""Winter's Bone"" tries to continue this indie film noir trend, and while it succeeds on several levels, it fails to inject the same freshness into its conceit.
Oskar Blues Brewery's American pale ale had us guessing all sorts of wrong. Dale's Pale Ale, as it's known, hales from Lyon, Colorado. It comes in a can, draped in red, white and blue with hint of Buffalo Bill Cody on the label. We always knew we weren't supposed to judge a book by its cover, lest we be humiliated, but we couldn't help ourselves; Dale's Pale Ale looked like a great American train wreck. All those preconceived notions changed upon first pour.

They say defense wins championships, but having a good offense doesn't hurt either.
Brits love soccer, at times to an unhealthy degree. They love it so much that they have been known to kill, maim and disembowel each other in the name of football—and that is just the fans. The coaches and players, if anything, are even more vile, vicious and vitriolic, as shown in ""The Damned United,"" a biopic of former English Premier League coach Brian Clough (Michael Sheen) and the lead-up to his disastrous 44-day stint as head coach of league juggernaut Leeds United.
An age-old proverb states that good behavior deserves a reward. Moms want the chores done, teachers want completed homework and coaches want to win games. And whether it is a treat from the cookie jar, a gold star or a starting position, the human body is conditioned to exchange hard work for a savory delight.
There are a million reasons to love the summer, like enjoying warm evenings outside, seeing people in skimpier clothing or driving with the windows down. Unfortunately, those can also be reasons to hate summer, as in the swarms of mosquitoes that roam the summer nights, your overweight and hairy neighbor who insists on mowing the lawn without a shirt or the guy at the stoplight who wants everyone to hear him rocking out to Limp Bizkit.
I was talking with a co-worker the other day about the importance of friends. Aside from providing companionship, sharing experiences, and talking to that girl's angry friend at the bar, a true friend is someone who will tell you when you're being stupid. Something like answering a phone call from your ex, or drunk dialing your mom, or deciding that your rap name will be spelled like ""Florida"" but pronounced like ""flow rider."" Everybody needs a friend who will stop you and say ""I love you, man, but ‘Flo Rida' is a stupid fucking stage name.""
