UW-Madison's College of Engineering students' snowmobile design won them a gold medal for keeping the environment in mind at the 2006 Society of Automotive Engineers Clean Snowmobile Challenge. The contest, held March 13 through 18 and hosted by Michigan Tech, asked teams of engineering students to take a stock snowmobile and reconfigure it to reduce emissions and noise. UW-Madison's four-stroke Polaris won the emissions category and went on to achieve an overall first-place ranking. The competition is not just for fun, however; Jack Evanoff, Yellowstone National Park's environmental manager, said that since the first contest seven years ago, snowmobile emissions have plummeted,\ according to a University press statement.
You may remember how the poignant love story of a 26-year-old stripper and her 89-year-old oil tycoon soul mate ended after only 14 months due the lethal effects of being really, really old.
Duncan Tucker's 'Transamerica' is a study in what it takes to be a good indie film in contemporary America. It challenges norms, but takes care not to challenge its audience, tackling transexuality without taking any particular stand on the issue, and in turn, it makes people care.
The Academy Awards will be presented March 5, but you don't have to wait until then to know the ultimate truths about this year's Oscars: Our staff can tell you everything you need to know. For each category, the films, actors and directors listed are in the following order: what will win, what should win and what could have been a contender.
There was a time when it was more important for an athlete to compete for his country than to compete for himself. When it did not matter as much who was standing on the podium as it did what colors were being raised in front of it. Those were the years that collective glory meant more than personal glory. When individuals synergized their strength and abilities and competed for their native homeland instead of for themselves.
What Bryant Gumbel said this past week: 'Try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention.'
Today is Presidents Day, a national holiday dedicated to celebrating the past leaders of our nation. Most people see these forefathers as stuffy, stodgy old coots; in short, wanksters. But actually, nothing could be further from the truth. Some of our commanders in chief were the illest playas of their respective eras, as their connections to some recent hip-hop artists display. Here is an examination of a few of the original gangstas who have ascended to the United States' highest public office.
Before the XX Olympic Winter Games began, the American mainstream got its first taste of skiing sensation Bode Miller by witnessing a press conference last month in which he brazenly claimed to have competed in past events while under the influence of alcohol.
\As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.' This is the most famous line of Scorsese's 'GoodFellas,' which is, and will always remain my favorite movie, and it generally sums up how I feel. It's not because I absolutely love organized crime (or at least the cinematic depiction of it), but rather because gangsters thrived in the most fascinating, tumultuous historical periods in the United States. In short, I feel as if I was born in the wrong decade'this era of hip-hop, blogging and 'Halo''and my preferences in music and especially movies reflect it.
In the absence of an al-Qaida skeleton team or a nefarious crew of 'Axis of Evil' athletes, the 2006 Torino Olympic Games will probably not include any political-athletic upsets akin to the 1980 'Miracle on Ice.' In the aftermath of the highly-competitive Cold War, the age of political-athletic competition seems to have stalled.
GREEN BAY, Wis.,'In a game that will have lasting memories for players, coaches and fans alike, the No. 4 Wisconsin Badgers (14-6-2 Western Collegiate Hockey Association, 20-7-2 overall) beat Ohio State (10-11-2 Central Collegiate Hockey Association, 14-13-4 overall) 4-2 Saturday at Lambeau Field. More an event than a mere game, the Frozen Tundra Classic lived up to all the hoopla surrounding the grounds on which the game was played.
Since her first Oscar nomination in 1997 for 'Mrs. Brown,' Dame Judi Dench has established herself as a standby candidate for Academy Awards recognition. She won Best Supporting Actress for 'Shakespeare in Love' after appearing for a mere eight seconds of screen time; she took what could have been little more than a dignified cameo and created an indelible comic presence that significantly bolstered the entire film.
From Feb. 10 to 26 many UW-Madison students will sit in the comfort of their apartments or dorm rooms and watch the 2006 Olympic Games. While many will simply admire the athletes, some may dream of one day getting to be there and experience all the Olympics have to offer. For UW-Madison students Carly Piper, Adam Mania and Maureen Brunt, this dream is a reality.
1904 - Oscar Osthoff won a gold medal for one-arm lifts and a silver for two-arm lifts (weight lifting).
The wardrobe of a typical UW-Madison student on game day does not usually include the maroon and gold of the Minnesota Gophers. Unless of course the student happens to be one of the nearly 3,000 Minnesotans attending UW-Madison thanks to the tuition reciprocity agreement between Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Today, the uniform says everything about a team's identity. But in every sport, there are teams with fashion blunders that doom them before they even step onto the court, rink or field. As I closely examine the most extreme offenders, remember the old adage: 'It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you look doing it.'
My girlfriend got me Scrabble for Christmas. I realize for a lot of you out there, this sounds like a lame gift, somewhere in the league of a three-pack of tube socks or perhaps a special edition DVD of 'City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold.' I, however, absolutely adore Scrabble.
