Gov. Jim Doyle reaffirmed his commitment to BadgerCare Plus, a far-reaching health care program for children and low-income families, in a speech at a Madison YMCA Wednesday.
It's that time of year again, when movie studios bust out sweeping epics and dramas in hopes of enticing crowds and nabbing Oscar nods. In a quest to win over the hearts of both viewers and critics, movie producers often turn to books.
The buzz has started despite both Michigan and Nebraska still having head coaches. Instead of wondering whether or not Lloyd Carr will retire and whether or not Bill Callahan will get fired, everyone seems to be skipping ahead and asking, Who is going to replace the two coaches?""

As Turkey Day approaches, there are many things to look forward to: spiced aromas, full bellies and four blissful days to catch up on rest, if desired.
For years my parents' fear was that I would try to drink my age in shots on my 21st birthday, and, like so many others, would never live to drive my own rental car. I never learned exactly how many people die attempting this coming-of-age ritual, but I have heard many times what motivates them to do so.
Wisconsin had a bye last weekend, which might not have been welcomed by the team as its offense established a groove in its first home series of the season. Robert Morris let through 15 Badger goals as Wisconsin went eight for 17 on power plays in the Oct. 19-20 series.
"Comes a time in every young man's life when he must get his first haircut," reads a caption that accompanied this 1956 photo, at top, of Kirk Douglas with his son Peter at the Beverly-Wilshire Health Club, where "Kirk keeps in trim for his rugged movie roles." Among those roles was the lead in "Spartacus," which included a 10,000-plus cast and crew, and a budget of more than $12 million, making it one of the most expensive films ever produced in Hollywood at that time. Photos, letters and other documents that Douglas donated to the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are now available online through a new Web site at www.whirld.com/wcftr/index.html.

If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. My dad usually mutters this phrase under his breath while shuffling through bills, and I have taken my dad's favorite saying to heart because it completely describes my love life.
When the Wisconsin Badger football team takes on the Ohio State Buckeyes Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, it may be just as tough for Badger fans to watch the game as it may be for the Badgers to beat the top-ranked team.
Bullies. Sometime, somewhere everyone has had an experience with them, and they come in all shapes and sizes.
The moods at Saturday's State Street Freakfest split between those optimistic to see multiple concerts for a few dollars and those disheartened at the commercialization of the once unique Madison tradition.
First, I would like to thank Mr. David Horowitz for coming to campus and calling me a radical leftist"" who is ""racist,"" ""ignorant"" and ""can't read.""
It is not often opponents leave Camp Randall stadium with a win, and the Indiana Hoosiers are no exception. The last time Indiana came into Camp Randall and pulled off a victory was Oct. 6, 2001. Many of the 79,000 plus fans in attendance remember this as one of the worst days in Camp Randall history. Not only did the Badgers lose a game in front of their home crowd, but they also lost by one of the largest deficits in Camp Randall history, a 63-32 blow out. For many fans and students this was not a memory they would like to remember, but for Wisconsin's junior wide receiver Marcus Randle El, the day is still ever so clear in his mind.
Terminal inefficiency and the long work day of a person who checks e-mail on the quarter hour have conspired to separate me from social activity, my hobbies and the sleep necessary to pursue either. By themselves, these kinds of isolations can be handled.
Halloween and football - that's what Madison does.
Students and fans who didn't get men's basketball tickets this year, cheer up. Friday night marks UW's second Midnight Madness at 7 p.m"" event and it is open to the public free of charge. For the Badgers' purposes, the event is called ""Night of the Grateful Red,"" an opportunity head coach Bo Ryan called ""a chance to thank our fans.""
When a police officer killed six people in a shooting rage and then took his own life Sunday in Crandon, Wis., it sparked questions about statewide police hiring processes and firearm policies. Local police say they evaluate their officers rigorously and issue weapons as needed.
The deadline for the state's biennial budget was July 1. Because state legislators are 13 weeks late in passing a budget, Wisconsin is the only state in the union without a passed budget. Without a state budget in place, state, city and local agencies are unable to determine their own budgets and spending levels. Lawmakers should feel the same pressure as every one of these agencies to ensure the budget is passed with haste.
