Our society is being overrun by fear. Maybe we are right to be afraid. Five years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City. Last week, a 15-year-old student walked into Weston High School in Cazenovia, Wis. and shot his principal. Twelve days ago, a deranged maniac executed five Amish schoolgirls in Lancaster County, Pa.
Karma (n)—the total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.
When my teams are underdogs, I tend to spend the days leading up to the game imagining several different scenarios under which the good guys prevail. These scenarios include (but are definitely not limited to) last minute buzzer beaters, record-breaking individual performances and even an occasional improbable game-winning Hail Mary from the third string walk-on quarterback.
When John Stocco throws an interception, he can redeem himself by tossing a touchdown pass on the next drive. If Alando Tucker shoots an air ball, he can come back and ""posterize"" his opponent with a slam dunk. Yet for a soccer goalkeeper, the margin for error is virtually nonexistent. One mistake, a split-second mental lapse or a single false step, could cost his team the game. So who does head coach Jeff Rohrman call on to protect the Badger net?
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings described proposals developed by the Commission on the Future of U.S. Higher Education Tuesday, garnering protest and dissatisfaction from both UW-Madison officials and parents.
Welcome to Keaton it Real. It's a science column. Well, it's supposed to be a science column, but I may get bored with that. Then it will be a technology column. Or maybe a ""what I ate today and its applications to Shakespeare's As You Like It"" column. These are all possibilities, and I hope you bear with me if I get a bit too pedestrian.
I have heard stories about the glory days of college football. Back then, teams had to have winning conference records to play in the post season. Back then, bowl games were fewer in number and named after fruit instead of investment banks. Sadly, I cannot remember those days, and I doubt they will ever return.
The UW System Board of Regents voted Aug. 18 to take away all university funds from companies ""that support or abet acts of genocide"" in Sudan, in response to the three-and-a-half-year conflict between Arab and African Muslims in Darfur.
It's estimated that Americans see tens of thousands of simulated deaths by the time they turn 18. Watching Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's ""Crank,"" it's not difficult to imagine why. Playing like ""Speed"" for the ""Grand Theft Auto"" crowd, ""Crank,"" the self-proclaimed ""ultimate ADD movie,"" is a popcorn flick for those who like their action with a side of arterial spray, a nihilistic exercise in which the story goes nowhere and does it fast.
World War II stories have been told through the eyes of men, women and children, but never through the eyes of Death. That's Death, with a capital D. Mankind's inevitable fate is personified in Markus Zusak's ""The Book Thief"" in order to narrate the story of a young girl growing up in Nazi Germany.
I'll skip any necessary introductions and get right to the point.
I once ate my entire weight in EggoAr brand waffles.
Sometimes, the only way to move forward is to take a step back. For the Red Hot Chili Peppers, that means abandoning the direction of 2002's extremely subdued, harshly reviewed By the Way and returning to the grand alterna-funk glory with which they dominated the '90s. Stadium Arcadium is a remarkably elucidatory title: The Peppers are back to making commanding, stadium-deserving rock, and they sound as comfortable there as in an Arcadian paradise.
'The Da Vinci Code' is undeniably one of the most popular yet controversial books of our time. It brings the mysterious life of Jesus, and religious controversy in general, to a place where it has not been since Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ''the silver screen.
Has anyone noticed the NBA playoffs are on? I have not. Nor has Mel Kiper Jr. from the looks of things, as he and many others are more involved with the NFL draft than a nagging girlfriend. Personally, I can't watch NBA basketball. I haven't been able to watch a whole game since Michael Jordan left the league and I don't think I'm alone. The game has become a series of five-minute stretches where the team with the lead refuses to play defense and lets the losing team back into the game. It happens all the time. Really, NBA games don't count until the final four minutes of the fourth quarter.
Although widespread rumors of weekend raids on Madison's undocumented immigrants turned out false, those who come to the area in hope of a better life are met by a number of changes and hardships.
Two college students pled guilty to charges stemming from their involvement in the Ogg Hall hate crime in December after seeing their charges reduced. Kevin Cochacki, a freshman from Purdue University, and Caleb Moore, an Auburn University freshman, pled guilty to disorderly conduct misdemeanors after felony criminal damage to property charges against them were dropped.
P!nk has never had an artistic personality that makes much sense. In 2001, she gave us an unexpected mash-up of dance, pop-metal, hip-hop, blues and teen-pop called M!ssundaztood that so far holds the crown for being the best and most exciting mainstream pop album to come out this decade. But then she followed this unqualified triumph with the lackluster Try This. Further confusing fans, P!nk has always insisted she couldn't care less what anyone thinks about her, despite that she seeks out unabashed popsters like Max Martin and L.A. Reid to help make decidedly radio-friendly songs.
American Dreamz\ tell us that beyond the superficial glitz and glamour of fame is a society of self-loathing, miserable people. ""Dreamz,"" the new film written and directed by Paul Weitz, is comedy that is indeed superficial and self-loathing. It is a comedy about pretty people who are miserable and whose misery is self-inflicted. And we do not particularly care if they ever find a way out of it.
ABC News' Political Unit came out with the first Invisible Primary\ ratings for the 2008 election last month. To no one's surprise, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., topped the list for the Democrats, and by no small margin. With a score of 1.0 equaling the nomination, Clinton scored a 1.74.
