I have written a fair amount this year about Bayern Munich’s rise to the top of the soccer world, and along with it the German Bundesliga’s ascension as king of European football. Now, as the semi-final matchups of the Union of European Football Associations Champions League have been set, the Germans are on the cusp of solidifying their seat on soccer’s throne.
Democratic state legislators announced Wednesday a new bill that would shift redistricting authority away from the state legislature to a non-partisan group.
Possibly my favorite weekend of the year is the opening rounds of March Madness. This particular weekend happened to coincide with my birthday this year, so when my dad suggested spending this weekend in Las Vegas, I seized the opportunity. While I did not spend my days there dazed, confused and incoherent, a la Hunter Thompson, I did take advantage of my “of ageness,” which complemented (or caused) my rowdiness when yelling at the television screen quite nicely.
Alas, it is nearly summer! That means you might be a) trying to sublet your room in your lovely apartment so you can go live with Mommy and Pop Pop or b) one of the lucky few looking for the summer sublet of your dreams! In your dreams. But seriously. Below are what most sublet ads on Craigslist would sound like if people told the truth.
Movies are all about perception. And not in an “our perception of a subjective reality created by the editing of time and space is what defines out movie going experiences” sort of way.
It’s like this: Proust was walking one way up the street and I was walking one way down the street. We’ve got plans, each of us, busy schedules. But our eyes meet. We recognize each other. I say “Hi.” He doffs his hat—he doffs something, at least—but I stop him. I’ve got a terrible habit of this, sometimes.
To some, Thursday marks the beginning of the college basketball season; The Big Dance is finally here. All right, the “first-round” games were technically played Tuesday and Wednesday, while Thursday marks the beginning of the “second round.” (According to the NCAA, 60 of the 68 teams received a first-round bye.) The No. 5-seeded Badgers (12-6 Big Ten, 23-11 overall) will begin their run at an NCAA championship Friday morning (tip is set for 11:40 a.m. CDST) in a second-round matchup with No. 12-seeded Ole Miss, who clinched an automatic bid in the NCAA tournament after sweeping through the Southeastern Conference (SEC) tournament. “Ole Miss is a team that’s gonna have a lot of momentum coming in,” redshirt senior forward Jared Berggren said. “We’ll see what happens.” The Rebels (12-6 SEC, 26-8 overall) play faster than any team in the Big Ten, averaging 73.7 possessions per game. By comparison, UW averages 63.6 and Indiana, the fastest-paced team in the conference, averages just below 70. Wisconsin and Ole Miss had two common opponents this season—Arkansas and Florida—both of which play with the Rebels in the SEC. The Badgers beat the Razorbacks on a neutral court in November but lost to the Gators by 18 points in Gainesville. Similarly, Ole Miss dropped a road game to Florida, 78-64, and beat Arkansas at home. However, the Rebels also knocked off the Gators in the SEC tournament title game, 66-63, during which they outscored Florida 40-25 in the second half. “[The Rebels] are a dangerous team, to go in and beat Florida—that shows what they’re capable of,” Berggren said. “We’ll have our hands full.” Ole Miss has used its up-tempo style of play to average over 78 points per game this season, good enough for seventh-best in the nation. Rebels junior guard Marshall Henderson leads the offensive attack, averaging more than 20 points per game. On the interior, Ole Miss senior forwards Murphy Holloway (14.6 points per game, 9.6 rebounds per game) and Reginald Buckner (9.5 ppg, 7.4 rpg) provide the Rebels with a stout inside presence. While Holloway and Buckner’s combined 17 rpg outnumbers that of any duo in the Big Ten, Berggren said playing in the nation’s top league will have UW ready for tip Friday. “What we’ve gone through in the Big Ten throughout the year and this weekend as well, it’s prepared us for anything,” Berggren said. The Wisconsin-Ole Miss winner will square off in a third-round matchup with the winner of No. 4-seeded Kansas State and No. 13-seeded La Salle’s matchup.
One of my regrets from the summer was not finishing “Annals of the Former World” by John McPhee. Besides the fact he is one of the most terrific writers of the past 60 years, “Annals of the Former World” concerns itself with geology and geologic history, a subject of renewed interest for me. My interest is semi-facetious—although as an environmental studies major, rocks are generally always relevant—insofar as I don’t care so much for the names of eras and what they entail (I also have less of a memory for such things). But what really gets me about it is the geochronology aspect. The time part.
Warning: If you do not like the indie music scene, then you might not understand my article. Hell, who I am kidding, I could write about puppies and tic-tac-toe and no one would understand my articles.
Documents on state computers concerning state Republicans’ 2011 redistricting efforts were deleted before the hard drives were turned over to plaintiffs, who challenged the redistricting in an earlier court case, according to court documents filed Wednesday that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel examined.
The state Assembly passed two separate bills Wednesday, which would allow Wisconsin employers to reduce work hours for their employees instead of resorting to lay offs as a cost-cutting measure and would eliminate the secretary of state’s role in publishing new legislation.
Can you be an author of serious work and still have a personal life to boot? What kind of a question is that?
Campus-area alderperson candidate Christian Hansen confirmed Monday he plans to drop out of the race for Common Council’s District 8 seat due to events related to personal finances.
The state Joint Finance Committee passed a contentious mining bill on a party-line vote at its meeting Monday.
Some tough defense and some timely scoring by the usual suspects were enough for the Wisconsin women’s hockey team (17-9-2-2 WCHA, 21-9-2 overall) to grab a weekend road sweep over the Bemidji State Beavers (5-22-1, 6-24-2).

Nicolas Cage. Yes, that Nicolas Cage. We all know him, or of him, though to some he’s more of a living meme than an actual person or actor.
One of the best—and admittedly most confusing—elements of craft beer is the seemingly endless list of styles that brewers toss around. For the adventurous, such limitless variety creates an optimism in tasting new brews, as even the most experienced beer drinkers are bound to stumble upon something new eventually. But for everyone else, the giant range of flavors can be intimidating, too often forcing you to take a shot in the dark when ordering something new. Though I can’t touch upon nearly every beer style out there, I’ll do my best to help.
Donald Nichols, an economics and public affairs professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison passed away Friday at the age of 72.
The UW Symphony Orchestra performed a most impressive and exciting concert this past Friday night with an extremely varied program that featured winners of the UW School of Music’s Concerto and Composition Competitions. Conductor David Grandis began the program by leading the orchestra through an energetic rendition of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Capriccio Espagnol.” The exotic sounds of the orchestra’s strings were nicely complimented by blazing brass fanfares and heartfelt woodwind passages, in addition to several intermittent, passionate violin solos by the Concertmaster Ben Seeger.
