Zoology Professor Thomas Pottsworth has had enough of the online taunting he has received from former students at ratemyprofessor.com, so several months ago he decided to get what he described in his own words as ""sweet, sweet revenge"" by starting ratemystudent.com.

This summer has been host to an increasingly sweltering marriage debate, with conservative traditionalists embarking on the ""Summer for Marriage: One Man, One Woman"" publicity tour, while more progressive gay advocates respond with 1967-esque ""Summer of Love"" protests and ideals. Same-sex marriage is clearly a hot button issue that's temperature has been rising in recent years, but the sizzling end to the summer of 2010, has engulfed the country in fire. It was already getting hot, but with Federal Judge Vaughn Walker striking down Proposition 8, it is getting ugly.
Fans of the New Pornographers have waited anxiously for three years, but like so many things in life, the waiting makes the reunion so much sweeter. The band will release its fifth studio album May 4, having already released a couple of its singles, ""Crash Years"" and ""Your Hands (Together).""
As Lathrop Hall, one of the most historically important structures on campus turns one-hundred years old, it seems a suitable time to reflect on the history, comical ironies and astounding change which has surrounded the record of women on campus.
Direct relationship between living in Madison, becoming a fatass, experts say
As someone who spent his childhood never more than 20 minutes away from the City of Milwaukee, who has made the trip between Milwaukee and Madison hundreds of times in his life and who now holds residence in the city of Madison for the majority of the year, the idea of a possible high-speed rail line between the two cities initially caused stunned excitement.
It seems like every year around February or March people make the claim that it's the worst time of year. I've heard everything: burnout from school, the not-quite-winter-but-not-quite-spring weather, winter sports winding down, and even that they just hate Valentine's Day with a fiery passion. I, however, love this time of year for one simple reason: shitty movies. Yes, this time of year is perfect for studios to pump out their corny formula comedies or awful book adaptations for audiences who don't know any better. I'm a bit of a film buff myself, and a little research produced some quite surprising news. It appears that UW-Madison itself has been an inspiration for many of these subpar films that come out this time of year. I included titles and summaries from nine of the best ones below:

The Wisconsin men's tennis team will try to follow up last Saturday's double victory by tallying another against No. 66 Nebraska Thursday afternoon at the Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
Late last week, scientists at CERN announced they would be turning the Large Hadron Collider back on. The world's largest physics experiment broke down shortly after its first test runs in 2008 and has only been tested once since then. Unfortunately, the LHC will operate at half power for the next two years before being turned off yet again for another year's worth of repairs.
""Fat Men in Skirts,"" produced by the Mercury Players Theatre and playing at the Bartell Theatre the weekends of Feb. 4th and 11th, goes for shock over substance. Upon entering the theatre, two understudies/ushers arbitrarily chose audience members to be ""frisked."" This theatrical choice is meant to prepare the audience for the show, but its use in ""Fat Men in Skirts"" ends up making many of the audience members scared and uncomfortable.
The election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts Tuesday night sent tremors through the political world. A wake up call was sent to the Washington establishment that Americans were, at the very least, concerned about the direction the country was heading. A Republican was able to pull off the unthinkable by taking on the Massachusetts Democratic machine and turning a seat that was once held by none other than Ted Kennedy into a seat that sustained the filibuster and blocked any hope of health-care reform. In a state where Democrats enjoy a three-to-one advantage in terms of voter registration, how could such a high profile Democrat lose when so much was on the line?
The premise of ""The Lovely Bones"" draws you in with high ideas about murder, death and the afterlife. A girl who is brutally murdered remains halfway between here and the hereafter while she comes to terms with leaving her life, her family and her killer remaining on Earth. Peter Jackson's adaptation of this Alice Sebold novel, though featuring some breakout performances and stunning visuals, doesn't use enough of the machinery for a solid film adaptation to support the ideas.
After much deliberation, here are the top candidates in considering five of the most influential directors and films of American cinema from the last decade, as chosen by our Arts staffers.
Recently, Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker has expressed an interest in having former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin endorse him. As a viable candidate with a record of solid results in fiscal policy (the area Wisconsin needs the most help with by far) in particular, this is a major step in the wrong direction for him.
Siren, chanteuse, troubadour, songbird, bard.
The Wisconsin women's basketball team found itself in an odd position Sunday: trailing for most of the game.
Clever, realistic and well developed, ""An Education"" investigates how to acquire diverse types of knowledge, and examines how much one person can sacrifice in pursuit of it.In 1961 London, 16-year-old Jenny (Carey Mulligan), is a brilliant yet bored student preparing to apply to Oxford. A beautiful girl with lofty standards, she has high school suitors who could never hope to measure up to her abilities (one helplessly bumbles over a simple French phrase she coyly mentions). Enter David (Peter Sarsgaard), a cultured but uneducated man twice her age, who offers her a ride home one day. A relationship blossoms between them as David opens up a new world to Jenny, taking her to chamber concerts, jazz clubs and art galleries.
After I read the article ""Race deserves no place in university admissions"" in Tuesday's issue of The Daily Cardinal, I struggled with how to explain the intent of the author. I was caught wholly off-guard by the call for an end to affirmative action.
