The construction around the newly renovated Chamberlin Hall is almost complete, meaning pedestrians will soon be able to use the whole of the sidewalk and not listen to a jackhammer as they walk.
In any given circumstance, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. This is especially true over long periods of time or distance, such as 26.2 miles or two hours 35 minutes and 59 seconds.
Hollywood has gone a bit crazy lately. Jamie Foxx might make it worse.
Almost three years ago, \Halo"" changed the genre of first-person shooters and introduced a level of gameplay that is rarely rivaled even today. The sequel to arguably the greatest XBox game of all time has some impossibly big shoes to fill, which is likely why the game seems like such a disappointment. Despite falling short of expectations, ""Halo"" successfully re-executes the first game's winning strategy.
After several years of having a national powerhouse volleyball program, it appears that this year's Wisconsin volleyball team seemed to enjoy flying under the radar. After Saturday night, it won't have that luxury. The Badgers (9-3 Big Ten, 15-5 overall) stunned the No. 2 team in the country, archrival Minnesota (10-2, 21-3).
Every once in a while, an acting performance comes along that not only carries a movie, but redefines a career and monopolizes all further conversations about the year's best. Tom Hanks did it in \Forrest Gump."" Charlize Theron did it in ""Monster."" And, now, Jamie Foxx has done it with ""Ray,"" a biographical film about the great soul singer, Ray Charles. The movie is ultimately less about the singer than it is about Foxx's stunning ascent from a middling comedic actor into the ranks of America's best dramatic screen performers.
Two years ago Brian Calhoun's freshman season ended with a painful memory when his Colorado Buffaloes were stunned 31-28 in overtime by his home-state team, the Wisconsin Badgers. As Calhoun watched the Badgers celebrate, he could have never envisioned some of those players in cardinal and white would one day be his teammates.
Even though the Boston Red Sox mounted a historic comeback against New York this postseason, bitter Yankees fans still say it will be a cold day in Hell before Boston breaks the Curse of the Bambino. Tonight's World Series Game 4 won't feature frigid temperatures in the underworld, but its backdrop will be a spectacular celestial show that won't be visible in our hemisphere again until 2007.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.-Down 17-14 with 2:49 to go in the game, No. 10 Wisconsin faced a third down and two on defense when senior cornerback Scott Starks made the play of the season.
Modest Mouse started this year the same way The Flaming Lips started 2002-a band whose optimistic indie rock had, for years, deemed them the next big thing. Finally, after a string of critically acclaimed albums which had never amounted to a commercial success, the Lips pushed through with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. This was echoed two years later by Modest Mouse, when Good News for People Who Like Bad News brought the band from indie icons to mainstream ones. Modest Mouse has effectively become this year's Flaming Lips.
To say Nick Van Sicklen's past week went pretty well would be the mother of all understatements. The senior striker notched five goals and an assist on the way to leading the UW men's soccer team to a pair of wins against Penn State and UW-Milwaukee last week. For his efforts, Van Sicklen earned the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week award and was named National Player of the Week by College Soccer News.
Though at least one of my colleagues prefers to differ, I do, in fact, enjoy \Star Wars"" to a great degree. While I am by no means a ""fanatic,"" like many of our generation, the original ""Star Wars"" trilogy holds a special place in my heart, especially in my young cinematographic memories.
For a movie that might as well have had \from the people who were just a little too late to bring you 'Finding Nemo'"" on its poster, ""Shark Tale"" manages to succeed in finding a voice outside of a certain other fish story. Instead, DreamWorks Animation has sent us on a different journey. It is less the undersea world of Disney and Pixar's ""Nemo,"" and more an under-water sister city to ""Shrek 2's"" Far Far Away, complete with Madison Avenue rip-offs like Coral-Cola and GUP.
Much has changed at UW-Madison since the Vietnam era. Bandanas have gone from helping protesters brave tear gas clouds on Library Mall to adorning the hair of coeds. Bob Dylan has gone from an emblematic musician to a creepy old man from Victoria's Secret commercials. But through it all, a penchant for political expression among UW students has endured.
Wisconsin is by and large a suburban state. Most in-state students come from towns characterized by cul-de-sacs, malls and McDonald's. Virtually the only way to tell if you are in Appleton, Green Bay, or Eau Claire is by looking at what high school is supported by the stickers on the area residents' bumpers. Madison, being a college town, has thankfully been bereft of such local insubstantialities. However, this charm is currently being threatened by a new influx of corporate behemoths. In order to protect what makes Madison great, we need to support local businesses against their national competitors.
Much has been made of the relative lack of \true Republicans"" in this year's GOP convention. This gripe is certainly legitimate with the exception of Dick Cheney. An unfortunate array of country music stars and the unending sea of white faces in the crowd, there is very little about this convention that is Republican.
That big gray monster, this mass co-opting culture of yours and mine, the same thing that ate up the '60s, punk, hip-hop and Tolkien, is eating up poker. It has given poker as much glitz as Jessica Simpson. And it is a sad thing. We, as poker-playing UW-Madison students, should be conscious of this drastic change in a storied American tradition, because it shows just how much mass pop culture shapes us.

Superlative people make mistakes, just like the rest of us.??Richard Pryor??told plenty of jokes that fell flat, Jack Niklaus hit plenty of balls into the rough and Julia Child??cooked plenty of unpalatable meals. And now, with the release of \The Laws of Attraction,"" starring Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore, audiences are greeted with one of the most inelegant movies ever to be made by two such superlatively elegant people.
After spending countless hours and millions of dollars on research and development-errr... a few cans of Miller Lite and a Big Mike's sub-I have come to the conclusion that there are approximately five truly amazing days of Madison weather during the entire school year.
