It's hard to focus on the tasks at hand as you go through your everyday life. There's always a catchy radio song, an exam or a new romance to steal away your attention.

When I spotted those red Badger bracelets at the bookstore asking me to support the very institution I was waiting in line to have ravish my wallet, I tried to imagine what sort of student would actually wear one.

You may have read the news brief in last Friday's Cardinal detailing two bizarre incidents in California involving dead squid: Hundreds of the tentacled critters washed up on an Orange County beach last Thursday, while just up the coast on the very same day, a semi hauling frozen squid overturned, blocking the road and bringing down power lines. Though the two were reportedly \unrelated,"" my suspicion was piqued.

Thanks to a thrilling victory over then No.12 Michigan State at the Kohl Center Saturday, the Badgers extended their home winning streak to 38 games-currently the nation's longest-and gave themselves the opportunity to make it 39 when top-ranked Illinois comes to Madison Tuesday night.
Howard Hughes is a man largely remembered for his eccentricities and professional failings rather than his numerous accomplishments.

It also provides insight as to how Hughes' mental debilitations slowly took hold of his life.
