Movies to check out in Madison this weekend
(02/17/10 6:00am)
Anybody who partakes in the relatively vibrant film scene in Madison knows that last weekend was an especially rowdy and diverse few days of cinematic activity. Wes Anderson's ""Fantastic Mr. Fox,"" my personal favorite film of 2009, went over exceptionally well with audiences at Memorial Union's Play Circle, provoking laughter with its unrelentingly pithy writing and awe with the rigorousness of its compositions.
Olympics inspire border battle among Badgers
(02/17/10 6:00am)
Like a lot of Canadians, sophomore forward Carolyne Prevost and junior forward Mallory Deluce feel a great sense of national pride during the Vancouver Olympics and want to see their country do well. Unlike a lot of their countrymen, however, Prevost and Deluce have some close ties to players on the other side of a border that divides two countries and creates one of the best rivalries in hockey.
Despite criticisms, Olympics still exciting, relevant for sports fans
(02/16/10 6:00am)
It's time for me to level with you, dear reader: I really don't know a damn thing about the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Peter Stotch: Narcoleptic soldier for hire
(01/21/10 6:00am)
Lots of NoDoz, and plenty of Dew."" That's how I respond when my close friends ask me how I ever got through U.S. Operative basic training without my superiors catching wind of my debilitating disorder. I'm agent Peter Stotch, and I have narcolepsy. Sometimes I'll go all day without falling asleep. Other times I'll find myself curled up like a kitten in the middle of the street. Regardless, I'm the best there is at what I do, and I'll be damned if the occasional mid-day snooze is gonna keep me from my work.

Thrilling finish sends Badgers home with gold
(01/20/10 6:00am)
It sounds like the script from a Hollywood movie: after a heartbreaking loss to Canada a few days earlier, the U.S. national hockey team scored a game-winning overtime goal to upset the host country, silence a hostile crowd and earn the gold medal.
Honorable Mention - Ryan Adams
(11/30/09 6:00am)
While this writer would've preferred to see Ryan Adams with a top 10 position on this list, it fits Adams' critical reputation to see him with an honorable mention ranking. The quality of his output is often derided as inconsistent, and sometimes this label has followed his work unfairly. Indeed, Adams seems to have squandered most of a loyal fan base, already partially formed from solid late-90s work with his group Whiskeytown, by following his classics Heartbreaker (released in 2000 and created with the ridiculously underappreciated duo of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings) and his 2001 breakthrough album Gold (made even stronger with a limited edition bonus disc) with a random-sounding collection of studio outtakes in Demolition (a clunker despite jewels like ""Cry on Demand"" and ""Chin Up, Cheer Up""), the regrettably rockier Rock N Roll, and the overly-hyped label-delayed Love is Hell. By the time Adams formed a permanent backing band and became Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, many were willing to lazily dismiss 2005's two-disc Cold Roses as predictably inconsistent and rife with filler. A second listen is in order for those who have overlooked this sleeper classic, and those who never even gave the follow up Jacksonville City Nights a try are missing out on one of the finer albums of the decade. His checkered history has caused all reviews for later albums to be introduced by a similar-sounding introduction, but no amount of background can save the rambling and boring 29, or the pleasant but predictable Easy Tiger and Cardinology. Nevertheless, a good Ryan Adams album is a great album, and this writer is optimistic that we haven't seen his decline yet.

Potatoes peel under pressure
(11/23/09 6:00am)
It's almost time for turkey with all the trimmings, including the root staple—potatoes. Whether you imagine whipped pillow-like clouds laden with pads of butter and rich gravy or sweet and savory hunks of sunset-colored sweet potatoes nestled in a marshmallow blanket, it is a side that refuses to be denied. Classic recipes are nothing to turn up your nose at, but what harm is there in turning up the heat and bringing something new to the Thanksgiving table? This holiday, impress your family with some trendy spuds that will knock their socks off, while still being simple to make.
Pitchfork still the make or break website for new indie music
(11/16/09 6:00am)
This should not be the first time you've read about Pitchfork and its indie influence. It has been making bands relevant since it became a daily in the late '90s and coolly bashed the mainstream scene. For every pop music movement there is backlash, resentment and something of a countermovement. Consider Pitchfork the instigator of this decade's musical countermovement to the late '90s.
New note system will help personalize campus advising
(11/09/09 6:00am)
The discussions of advising services here on campus have not yet cooled off. But for years, most suggestions have been limited to increasing the number of advisors, and not changing how the program is run itself. While the student-to-advisor ratio is certainly a factor in quality advising, mere statistical improvements would not guarantee better services for students. Last week, a novel advising plan got funding from the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates. After wandering aimlessly for so long, we may be approaching a solution to this advising problem.
Overcoming the post-exercise cravings
(11/04/09 6:00am)
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.
