Report: State will need more doctors

Wisconsin is expected to have a shortfall of over 2,000 physicians by 2030, according to a report released Tuesday.

On stupidity, Perry and Paterno

Back in high school, a classmate asked me with a straight face: “What country is the Tour de France in this year?” I was dumbfounded. I told her it only happens every four years, but next time it will be in either England or Great Britain; I couldn’t remember which one. Although I expected this girl to get a negative number on her ACT, she somehow goes to UW-Madison (and she’s actually smart, believe it or not).

Live Review—Youth Lagoon entrances High Noon

Trevor Powers' dreamy soundscape, Youth Lagoon, got off to a great start Monday night at the High Noon and came to an even stronger finish.

Men's Hockey: The greatest show on ice

Five weeks into the 2011-12 season, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (3-4-1 WCHA, 4-5-1 overall) is still trying to figure out what type of club it is. The Badgers have shown resiliency in several late-game comebacks, but they have also shown their youth in games like last week’s 7-2 loss to St. Cloud State. However, success this weekend over the No. 1 Minnesota Gophers could help define this young team.

Cuts to UW system demand attention

To say the University of Wisconsin System has reached its peak in the budget crisis is to repeat a recycled and ubiquitous headline currently echoing throughout the state. While the impressive elongation of Wisconsin’s funding drought has started to drown out the severity of any new budget cuts, this editorial board recognizes that the funding storm currently hovering over the UW System—and the causalities sure to result from it—deserve immediate attention.

Reaction to FLAME advertisement disappointing

""While anti-Semitism has indeed been shunned by the civilized world, things are quite different in the Muslim/Arab world, because anti-Semitism is an integral part of their religion and culture.""

Is local music dying?

Purple, red, blue and green spotlights shine on the stage, giving each member of the Kissers a different tint. Cloaked in red light, Kari Bethke, violinist and vocalist for the Kissers, holds her instrument vertically, its neck beckoning to the ceiling. As she dances across the stage, vocalists and guitarists Waylan Nate Palan and Ken Fitzsimmons scream into their microphones, nearly shaking the tables with their massive voices. 

Bassett neighborhood to see developments, renovations

Plans for a new apartment complex were on the agenda of the Bassett Street Neighborhood Association meeting Monday, where the group heard proposals for the construction of an apartment complex as well as renovations to a local tavern.

N.Y. protests represent public opinion

The populist revolution has swept across the Atlantic and stoked the flames of discontent in several American cities, most notably New York. From the Egyptian struggle against oppression that echoed loud from Tahrir Square to the heroic standoff at Benghazi, and from a Hazare-led fasting against corruption in India to the Greek protests against austerity measures, the world's population has been fighting against oppression in all shapes and sizes. A commonnality exists among these seemiingly varied movements—most of these revolutionary events have been populist in nature, representing the majority population against a minority of extremely powerful people who call all the shots. It may be the first time in history that a number of localized revolutions have had such a common defining character.

Report: Partisan groups spent $44 million on recalls

Candidates and political groups spent nearly $44 million on the nine state Senate recall elections this past summer, setting multiple records for campaign spending, according to a report released by the nonpartisan Wisconsin Democracy Campaign Tuesday.

Arts are not leaving Madison this summer

Summer time: Warm breezes, cool drinks, friends and free time. It's the perfect reward for an exhausting semester and a cold spring. Summer is when I actually get around to finishing that one book I didn't have time for, or watching that movie I meant to see. Like others staying in Madison, it means going to work or an internship, then coming home to nothing—that is, no piles of homework or the stress of impending exams. But perhaps even better than that is the reclaimed ability to explore the city without feeling like I'm skipping out on some important assignment. Countless concerts, gallery tours, new music, theatrical productions and movie theater trips have taken a back seat to schoolwork during the semester. Yet, sweet summer arrives! There are fewer excuses to stay home and wait for the arts to come inside when the city bustles with artistic expression and the warmth of pleasant Wisconsin weather.

Dems' NBP stance vague, disappointing

Mike Mikalsen and I don't agree on much. Mikalsen, the research assistant and lead strategist for state Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, has played a central role in Nass' work as the main thorn in the side of UW-Madison. So as I spoke with Mikalsen over the phone last week concerning the proposed New Badger Partnership, it was no surprise that I disagreed with much of what he said.

Indie and folk blend on this unique debut

Indie artist Thao Nguyen has a quirky personality and an intelligent swagger. She is known for her powerful delivery and awkward, albeit melodic, vocals, and one cannot help but fall in love with her quirks. Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn, who goes by Mirah on stage, has a more folk-ish style, with a breathy and lively voice. This duo has performed on stage in the past, but this week they will release Thao & Mirah, their debut collaborative album.
