Congress began debating the future of US foreign aid last week, with many legislators seeking to cut funding in light of current federal budgetary constraints. Despite the nation's weak economy and poor outlook for recovery, cutting foreign aid is simply the wrong answer—especially in light of America's waning influence in world affairs. Both the Senate and House of Representatives have proposed reductions in the $60 billion State Department budget ranging from $12 billion in the House plan to $8 billion in the Senate plan. The reduced budget would force the State Department to spend on operations and security, leaving little money left over for humanitarian assistance.
Earlier this week, state Senator Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, proposed a bill, which would essentially repeal the 2010 Healthy Youth Act. HYA requires schools that offer sex education to offer comprehensive education discussing contraceptives, sexually transmitted infections, and healthy relationships. Lazich's bill proposes changing the preferred method of sex ""education"" in the state of Wisconsin to emphasize abstinence as ""the only reliable way to prevent pregnancy.""

Twelve Wisconsin legislators raised a record-breaking $6.8 million-plus during the first half of 2011, two thirds of which came from recall efforts, the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign reported Tuesday.
Whatever you have planned for October, cancel it, because WUD Music Committee has got your weekends covered for this month of the monster mash.
In the past few weeks, conference movement and re-alignment has dominated the college football news cycle.
You finally got the energy to go to the SERF. You noticed yourself out of breath halfway up Bascom and decide you want to be like Oprah and transform from an obese lady into a thin, judgemental lady. Besides, you're out of excuses not to go. (Guys: ""Gatorade has protein."" Girls: ""but guys like junk in the trunk, right?"") So you lug your fat ass up to the cardio room and kick it up all the way to speed-walk pace.
The optimism surrounding Wisconsin football team right now is palpable. With the news that former North Carolina State quarterback Russell Wilson has decided to play this fall for head coach Bret Bielema's Badgers, fans have set their expectations for the 2011 season high.
Four members of the Wisconsin men's hockey program were selected on the second day of the 2011 NHL Draft at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. Three incoming freshman and one current player, sophomore forward Michael Mersch, heard their names called by NHL franchises on day two.
It is a rare honor that a current college hockey player receives the opportunity to skate with the pros in a major international competition, and given his shot to represent the United States at the 2011 International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships Wisconsin junior forward Craig Smith certainly impressed.
This past weekend I took a brief trip to the Twin Cities to look for housing for next year. It's bittersweet, but as they say, I am moving on to the next chapter in my life. Specifically, I'm moving to a state that apparently has a few more lakes than our dear ol' Wisconsin. But, I'm calling shenanigans on the ""Land of 10,000 Lakes"" slogan; I was there for four days and the only water I saw was the puddle I clumsily stepped in on my way to a business conference. Ewww—business conference. Those adult sounding words have never been in my vocabulary, and now, shit, they are going to be part of my reality.
As much as Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari hates to hear it, there is a growing consensus among the college basketball community that something needs to be done to get rid of the ""one and done."" In fact, if the NCAA had the power to do anything about the matter, it would have been resolved long ago.
Following a revolution like the Arab spring is difficult. The major conflicts, from a media coverage perspective, seem to be coming in large waves. Tunisia gave birth to the revolution, whose influence made its way toward Egypt and the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak. The global conversation then switched over to the pending conflict in Yemen for only a brief time before eventually switching over to Libya. The recent protests in Syria, though similar in spirit to other mid-size revolts, are actually a game-changer that initiates a whole new chapter in the Arab Spring.
Children under the age of 11 never cease to amaze me. The unabashed and occasionally brutal honesty with which they live their lives is something I truly admire. Once you reach middle school, you're suddenly supposed to know better than to ask a plump old man with a beard if he's Santa Claus or tell your older sister she does look like Sarah Palin with her new specs. Before the regrettable entrance into the awkward middle school years, you're essentially free to say and do whatever pops into your premature noggin. When I think back on the days I spent trying to jump the farthest off of the swing set at recess or defeat my arch nemesis (a.k.a. my BFF) in Scategories Junior, I slowly begin to realize just how bizarre and hysterical kids really are.
It's been over a year since G. Love & Special Sauce performed in Madison, but Garrett Dutton, a.k.a. G. Love is back Thursday at the Majestic Theatre on his first tour dedicated to the blues.
