The future of the Mifflin Street Block Party could be in jeopardy after several acts of violence, including the stabbing of UW-Madison student, at Saturday's block party.
UW-Madison Professor Scott Straus' extensive knowledge of genocide and African politics has landed him as an expert witness in the trial of Lazare Kobagaya who is charged with ordering mass murders during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
Madison Police arrested a man early Sunday morning following a fight outside Segredo on University Avenue.
Student Judiciary Vice Chief Justice Tim Hogan filed a complaint with the Student Judiciary, claiming the Associated Students of Madison violated his right to due process in his impeachment hearing.
This weekend, I went to the place I like to call ""home-home,"" that is, a wooded and wet six acres of land in the township of Rudolph, 15 minutes north of Wisconsin Rapids and two hours north of Madison (Madison is ""home""). I took the opportunity to find out what I was thinking about 10 years ago, at age 11 and a half.
Upon reading last Monday's piece about Sarah Palin, I was disappointed in the lack of coverage of the ""anti-Palin"" protesters. In Madison, it seems like the voice of liberal politics is magnified, while the voice of opposition is squashed. I am a sophomore at UW-Madison and also a native Wisconsinite. I was at Palin's speech, and what I saw was something I never thought I'd encounter in America: citizen's trying to suppress the basic rights of others.
A Wisconsin prison inmate currently serving time for theft and burglary charges in Rock County was charged Friday for a second time in the 1994 killing of a Madison woman.
Ben Pierson: Cardinal ace Ben Pierson is poised to bring his moves back to the mound this Saturday in the annual matchup of wit and athleticism.
In a strange way, it makes sense that this is how the career of Manny Ramirez comes to an end.
Police arrested a Madison man Saturday night on East Washington Avenue following an apparent drug deal.
Sometimes when judging a piece of art, you have to put effort above actual success. Joe Wright's new film ""Hanna"" doesn't work most of the time. However, it's admirable that it's aiming for something special and going at it with full force. You combine that with the few scenes that do work very well and you've actually got a movie worth seeing.
Like everything else these days, we learned about it through Twitter. The gavel came down March 18, and the official account of the AP Stylebook announced: ""Language evolves. Today we change AP style from e-mail to email, no hyphen. Our editors will announce it at #ACES2011 today.""
After listening to testimony from several witnesses Friday, Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi decided to keep the temporary restraining order on the budget repair law.
Street musicians, for many, are cheap outdoor entertainment, or an easy act of charity. Either way, they are characters that come in and out of people's lives as quickly as it takes to walk past them and throw a quarter in their violin case. This is not the case for Chad Stokes, who made a life-changing decision by stopping to talk to the man playing buckets outside Boston's Fenway Park.
Lena Dunham. Make sure you remember that name because she's going to be big. When I say big, I mean in a big fish in a little pond kind of way. Dunham is the writer, director and lead actress in her new film ""Tiny Furniture,"" and as I walked out of the showing, I realized I've never been more excited about the future of a specific filmmaker.
I am often astounded by the things people do in public. This is not to say I myself do not partake in questionable activities from time to time before the eyes of hundreds of strangers, but I try to keep it to a minimum. Every time I venture outside my apartment, though, I never fail to witness some borderline inappropriate behavior by my fellow pedestrians or classmates.
The latest law-mystery film, "The Lincoln Lawyer," reminds me of a paperclip. It's fully functional and does what is expected of it. It keeps everything in order and doesn't leave any loose ends, but it also is unremarkable. This paperclip is pretty much the same as all other paperclips, and is likely to be forgotten the moment you no longer have any use for it. "The Lincoln Lawyer," starring Matthew McConaughey, seems to feature some confused character development and is similarly dull—unworthy of a $10 movie ticket, or really even a $5 rental.
I recently decided to major in communication arts, specifically communication science and rhetorical studies. I came to this decision after I signed up for Communication Arts 272: Interpersonal Communication. It counted for Comm-B and the description sounded intriguing, so I thought, ""Why not improve my communication competence? I'm sure future employers will appreciate any powers of persuasion or feigned interest I acquire out of this class."" Little did I know this class would zero-in on all of the things I do everyday without realizing it.
Let's face it, nobody ever agrees with the Oscars completely, and we here at The Daily Cardinal are no exeption. So we crafted our own list of the top 10 films of 2010––our best picture nominees, if you will. We call them the Dirty Bird Awards, and you'll probably disagree with them just as much as you disagree with the Academy. But what makes us better is that you can walk into our office and yell at us in person, which is so much cooler. And the nominees are:
Last spring, I set our to watch every movie that has ever won the Academy Award for best picture, from 1927's ""Wings"" to 2009's ""The Hurt Locker."" I recently accomplished my goal, and plan to continue viewing every best picture winner in the future. Here are my five favorites from my Oscar marathon––at least until something new comes along.
