Stem cells were first discovered at the University of Toronto in the 1960s and have since become one of the most promising fields in biological research. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into a variety of specialized cells under the right conditions.
Modern advancements in medicine have allowed the human population to live longer than ever before. There are currently more elderly citizens on our planet than there have ever been. By definition, a person is referred to as elderly or older if they are at least 65 years old. In 2009, the elderly population in the U.S. consisted of 39.6 million people, or about 13 percent of our nation’s population. This number is expected to almost double by 2030 due to a larger younger population that is expected to live longer.

With the end of semester, quite literally looming ahead of you like a giant honing beacon you can’t hide from, it is perhaps time to look back and reflect. You might have added many accolades to your name this spring, what with having survived the mother of all cold winters and making it halfway through 2014, but I bet you couldn’t name a life-changing book you read.

This Thursday, April 24 marks the one year anniversary of the infamous Rana Plaza factory collapse that claimed 1,132 innocent workers’ lives. This incident was the largest industrial workplace disaster that has ever happened. In the last two years alone, over 1,500 workers have died due to preventable factory fires and building collapses.
When a prolific musician dies, it sends a ripple throughout the entire music community. Jason Molina, a true modern blues artist active during the end of the 20th century and early 21st century, passed away in 2013, leaving behind a legacy that will thrive for years. He poured his heart out with such acts as Songs: Ohia, Magnolia Electric Co. as well as under his own name. Themes of despair, isolation and struggle circulated in and out of his work, always earnestly and unfiltered. He paved the way for the many blues-inspired indie artists and maintained the gritty realism so perfectly encapsulated in those genres.
Though he usually puts in long hours as Revelry Music and Arts Festival’s executive director, University of Wisconsin-Madison sophomore Josh Levin occasionally gets a break. Earlier this month, for instance, he had what he described as a “light week” consisting of 13 hour-long meetings.
If The Daily Cardinal can boast any one achievement in its 122-year history, it is winning. Athleticism, wit and the capacity to imbibe liquids are institutional assets long embodied by the sexiest and smartest newspaper on campus.

With each new blade of green grass that emerges from beneath thin layers of late snowfall, smiles slide onto faces with a bit more ease. However, the return of warm afternoons and whistling robins is a relief too often taken for granted. As sweaters are traded for T-shirts and winter boots for sneakers; as baseball gloves and Frisbees are pulled from storage shelves to relish in the magnificence of the surrounding world, now is also the season to recognize its fragility.
The exterior is painted in an array of pastels—rose, sky blue, sea foam green—and one window facing Dickinson Street reads in paint, “Evolution Arts Collective.” Inside, a series of white-walled rooms adorned with art leads to a back-room studio floored with concrete, housing a kind of scaffolding.
Immediate gratification. Not only can you read the results of a fight after the final round, but you can physically feel the consequences of your actions, good and bad. If you duck left when you should have moved right, you’ll see lights. On the other hand, if you time it just right and fire fast enough, you’ll feel your opponent’s face connecting with your gloved fist.
Every song Cloud Cult play resonates with truth. With the release of their live-recorded album, Unplug April 15, that truth is even more evident than on previous studio records, adding a sense of vulnerability and intimacy to an already genuine band.
Last week, when Nirvana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—which is a sham and will probably be addressed in another column—they needed someone to replace the deceased Kurt Cobain. So in came a quartet of female singers: St. Vincent, Lorde, Joan Jett and Kim Gordon.
Twenty One Pilots, an up-and-coming pop/rap/rock/metal/indie/bluegrass duo from Columbus, Ohio are making their way to Madison.

Hailing from South Dakota, Erika M. Anderson, performing as EMA, arrives back in the world of noise rock with the release of her third studio album, The Future’s Void. As a singer known for her folk drone style of singing, Anderson has worked with various noise rock and experimental groups over the last eight years throughout the western United States.
It’s easy to bash a movie like Divergent, especially when the best-seller written by Veronica Roth is such a page-turner. Although it’s fair to argue that there are too many plot changes to accurately depict Roth’s dystopian Chicago, that’s not what should be valued when comparing the book to the movie. What we should be asking is whether or not the integrity of the book is conserved.
