With the Minnesota Vikings' heartbreaking overtime loss to New Orleans last Sunday came the end of the season for running back Adrian Peterson. And it was a strange year for Peterson. In 2008, he turned in a phenomenal campaign, rushing for a league-best 1,760 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per carry and running for at least 100 yards 10 times.
Somewhere in the world, there is a very happy 13-year-old Evangelical Christian boy. After years of struggling to find a happy compromise between Bible-thumping religiosity and the bullet-riddled fight scenes of modern action flicks, Hollywood has finally melded the two together in the most maladroitly literal way possible. With the release of ""Legion,"" hyperactive Sunday school graduates have finally realized their ultimate wet dream fantasy: angels fighting with machine guns.
The historically blue state of Massachusetts witnessed a shift in politics when Republican state Sen. Scott Brown beat his Democratic challenger in the Massachusetts Senate race Tuesday.
The Daily Cardinal's arts staffers picked some of the most notable movies you might have forgotten to see amidst holiday cheer.
I firmly believe the greatest gift you ever received did not come packaged. It did not have a bow or a box. It did not have a note attached. I firmly believe the greatest gift you ever received came from a teacher—perhaps many—who poured love into you in the form of education.
In ""Hornets! Hornets!,"" Craig Finn claims, ""I guess the heavy stuff ain't quite the heaviest by the time it gets out to suburban Minneapolis."" Finn spent his formative years in Edina, Minn., witnessing first-hand how a bottleneck effect dilutes all mediums of entertainment to relative monotony. Thousands of lakes and hundreds of highways removed from the American bright lights and big cities where kids get their kicks and boys and girls have such sad times together, Finn posed the Replacements' and Hüsker Dü's pent-up disenchantment as hyper-literate narratives to document a wider scope of angst than their own inner rage.
Growing up as a sports fan in New York, I pretty much had it all—historic franchises, arenas, rivalries and most importantly, fans sincerely obsessed with every part of it. Really the only thing the area lacked was a classic college sports experience. And now, after three and a half years in Madison, I feel fortunate to have been a part of this unique environment.
The current Ogg Hall, located at the intersection of Dayton Street and Park Street, was built in 2007, with features the residents of ""Old Ogg"" lived without: more spacious bedrooms, central air conditioning, classrooms, kitchens on each floor, and updated security systems. Old Ogg was originally built in 1965, and was torn down in Fall 2007. As with any building on campus that faces demolition, students who had ties to Old Ogg lost a part of their college experience when the building came down.
""I am so / I am so / Out of tune,"" Jeff Tweedy sang at a solo acoustic set he performed as a rogue while recording Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, simultaneously turning it into a lamentation of personal, professional uncertainty. Overall, its directness is so mysterious, ambiguous and genuine it discomforts and reassures at the same time. Despairingly crying out in self-awareness, Tweedy emotes a candidness that only a Ditch Trilogy-era Neil Young would be bold enough to pull off, calmly finishing the stanza, ""With you.""
The past decade witnessed a mass withdrawal of humanity. The more technology expanded, the more Man contracted. Online networking exploded, but more houses locked their doors. Over the past ten years, no band has encapsulated this phenomenon better than the Walkmen. They pushed their sound to the limit, filling every void with distortion and leaving no moment untouched, but they sang with crippling reservations and loneliness. Perhaps their spirit is captured best on Bows + Arrows' standout track ""The Rat"" when singer Hamilton Leithauser reflects, ""When I used to go out I would know everyone that I saw / Now I go out alone if I go out at all.""
Animal Collective is a group of musical experimentalists who, since their inception in 2000, have never lost sight of the fun inherent in bending genre conventions. This four-person (temporarily whittled down to three-person) band approaches avant-garde indie pop not as a formal artistic task, but as children playing with the toys they love best—which in their case are indie pop, freak folk, tribal rhythms and Beach Boys-styled harmonies. This is a group so musically adept that they can significantly alter their sonic palate without losing their identities. Yet they are not chameleons: It's not that they change their character with each new release, they simply turn their concerns toward a different but equally fulfilling corner of their idiosyncratic world of pop.
A Madison man who could be linked to several recent burglaries was arrested early last week near the Regent Street neighborhood, according to a police report.
On Nov. 17, 2009, The Daily Cardinal published the opinion column ""Race deserves no place in university admissions."" Over the past several days we have witnessed a significant reaction to the article by students on campus, and it is obvious the article sparked a dialogue regarding issues of diversity at UW-Madison.
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.
Most college students who survived Freakfest this year in Madison are lucky enough to say that they have since recovered completely from the night's horrific mistakes and binges within one to two days. However, for 22-year-old Will Rollins, the luxury of leading a normal life has not been even a slight possibility for over two weeks. Well into November, Rollins is still hungover from Halloween, and not even the hottest shower can wash off the stains of his decisions from that night.
The big winner in the box office this past week was Robert Zemeckis' update of Charles Dickens' ""A Christmas Carol,"" a film that has already been made countless times. Once again, Zemeckis decided to experiment with motion capture animation, in which the actors do their scenes in front of green screens, and then animated versions of them are placed into animated backgrounds.
There it sat in the mailroom a month ago: my package. It was the color of sand, festooned with ""Thinking of you!"" and ""I love you!"" stickers with the always-cherished emblem ""priority mail.""
In 1892, William Wesley Young, a native of Monroe, Wis., had the radical idea to found an independent daily student paper. While dailies were not without precedent at other universities on the east coast, it was a first for a campus whose only experience with student journalism had been through weekly and monthly literary publications.
Lil Jon is set to release his first solo project Nov. 24, entitled Crunk Rock. Why should anybody care? The short answer is you should not care nor pay it any attention, yet people will. Maybe even a lot of people, which makes me curious.
UW-Madison faculty, staff and students continued to scrutinize Provost Paul DeLuca's graduate school restructuring proposal at his fifth and final town hall meeting Friday, while Chancellor Biddy Martin offered several reassurances.
