Wisconsin Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch said Wednesday the state will continue to consider restrictions on collective bargaining in effect, despite a judge's injunction against publishing the bill.
The Wisconsin Film Festival, running March 30-April 3, offers 209 films this year, which can make ticket selection a daunting task. But in the hopes that you won't take this opportunity for granted, I've picked a few intriguing films I'd recommend to best enjoy our local film fest.
With the 2011 Academy Awards coming up this Sunday, Daily Cardinal senior film critics Riley Beggin and Mike Kujak, along with arts editor Todd Stevens, provide their predictions for who will go home with the little gold men, who got unjustly snubbed and how the horse race stacks up.
As the final seconds ticked off the clock Wednesday night in Crisler Arena, the only sound heard was the blare of the final horn. And then shock rang through the air. The Michigan faithful fell silent as freshman Josh Gasser's three-pointer sailed through the basket, propelling the Wisconsin men's basketball team to a stunning 53-52 victory.
The state Assembly debated amendments to the budget repair bill Tuesday, with Democrats passionately dominating the conversation for hours into the evening.
Conor Oberst turned 31 on Tuesday. Yes, the boy wonder, the youthful genius, is, well, no longer a boy. He hasn't been for quite some time. Fittingly, his most recent album and the first from the Bright Eyes moniker since 2007's Cassadaga, is coming out today. Perhaps he hasn't changed that much, after all, what with this presumptuous birthday present to himself. But one listen to The People's Key and there is a recognizable difference, dare I say, maturity, to the sound of the record. Yes, yes, yes, don't worry. He's still dealing with life's difficulties and the human's transport through time and life and hell and all of that. There is an edge to it though, not sonically, not like an ass-kicking Desaparecidos song with huge guitar hooks and loud screams, but there's something dark, harvested far beneath the surface. Oberst has been a rock star for what is far beyond the majority of his life, having been Commander of Venus at age thirteen.

This was the second year that the Sundance Film Festival featured the NEXT program, a category for extremely low-budget films, intended to give burgeoning filmmakers an opportunity to shine the spotlight on their labors of love. One of the films I saw at this year's festival in the NEXT program was ""Bellflower."" The movie didn't win any awards, and I wouldn't say it was one of the best films at the festival, but it was one of the most memorable. It was incredibly innovative and intriguing and helped its rag-tag group of creators garner some much-deserved attention.
Following two straight conference victories, the Wisconsin women's basketball team will square off against Northwestern Sunday in Evanston, Ill.
As an avid participant in modern life, it can be very easy to marvel at the swift progress of technology. I can take, edit and post a picture on my phone as easily as I can send e-mails on my computer, automatically record television shows on my satellite receiver, play video games that look like movies on my PlayStation and boil a whole pot of water in five minutes. But there was a time in which I could do none of those things, a time when most people were born and died within a ten-mile radius and all books were handwritten and illustrated. The Middle Ages were such a time, and on the surface it appears as if that period could not be more disparate from our own.
Flawed representations of an epic tale
By the time junior third-string quarterback Nate Tice plunged into the endzone on a 17-yard bootleg with 1:57 showing on the clock, the only question that remained was whether 83 push-ups would be too much for Bucky to handle.
Making a movie about the life of a great artist is a big responsibility. Some have done so successfully: Vincente Minnelli's ""Lust for Life,"" a film about the relationship between Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, is considered by many to be the best film about an artist ever made. Others have not faired so well. ""Factory Girl"" tells the story of Andy Warhol's muse, Edie Sedgwick, and was reviewed by many as shallow.
The Wisconsin volleyball team (4-10 Big Ten, 15-10 overall) was able to get its first win over a ranked opponent this weekend, as they upset No. 24 Northwestern (7-7, 17-8) in an exciting five-set match.
People inevitably compare Sean Lennon to his father, John, and based on Acoustic Sessions, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

With its loud playing, fun spirit and unmatchable style, the UW Marching Band is a staple of the UW-Madison's campus. You would be hard pressed to find anyone, even a freshman, who hasn't heard the band play. Yet an entirely separate world of marching music exists outside of the university setting, one that very few people have heard of: Drum corps. As much a physical sport as an arts activity, marching music's ""major league"" is an intense, highly demanding activity that explores a new frontier of the arts. I experienced this hidden marching world when I saw the Drum Corps International Championships in Indianapolis this past August.
Iowa is poised to improve its record to 3-0 as they head southwest to take on the Arizona Wildcats.
Are you looking to expand your horizons through an exciting and stimulating change in cultural scenery? Looking to seek out an educational experience without the boringly usual modern-day amenities and personal freedoms we enjoy here in Madison? If so, you'll be pleased to hear that notoriously reclusive and xenophobic Democratic People's Republic of North Korea has opened its doors to the outside world, specifically to the UW-Madison study abroad program. The stark cultural difference between our cozy, relaxed university setting and the totalitarian communist state will assuredly create ample opportunity for students to expand their horizons.
