The sky screamed blue on an unseasonably warm January day as thousands upon thousands gathered within blocks of our nation's capital were just moments away from screaming for immediate peace in Iraq.
Last week, NBC announced they would be canceling their seven-year-old cult hit soap ""Passions"" in favor of adding another hour to ""Today.""?
NCAA basketball tips off this weekend, and several programs have a lot to be excited about. The league lost several bright stars to the NBA, but some of the younger players from programs like North Carolina, Duke and Ohio State will look to make a name for themselves while taking advantage of a fairly wide open league. Here's Courtside's look at the top five championship contenders for this year's college basketball season.
With the Wisconsin men's basketball team not having played against an actual opponent yet, it is possible the team might still have a few kinks to be worked out. That was not the case for the Badgers Friday, as they took care of business, dominating their Division III opponent, UW-Stout, 82-33.
Matt Marshall was just two weeks shy of his ninth birthday when he first hit the water. Who knew years later Matt would become a 12-time All-American swimmer at UW-Madison, a model in Europe and earn the admiration of his family, friends, coach and teammates? His story shows how one athlete's experience as a Badger swimmer shaped him for the rest of his life.
I appreciate the opportunity to say a few words about my record and about my candidacy for reelection as Wisconsin's attorney general.
The Big Ten will be one of this year's strongest conferences in the nation. Last season, the conference collected seven bowl bids, winning in three of the games, with two wins coming in BCS bowls. The Big Ten will feature nine returning starting quarterbacks in 2006, the most it has had coming back in more than 20 years. With strong leadership and talent behind center, look for at least seven of the conference's teams to be bowling come December and January, with at least two of them contending for a berth in one of the four coveted Bowl Championship Series contests. Here are the top five teams in the conference.
Standing on the steps of the Capitol, behind several barricades and dozens of police in full body armor, 64 members of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement declared victory Saturday. To the approximately 800 protesters in attendance, the results of the Minneapolis-based group's rally were not so clear-cut. Protestors greeted the neo-Nazis with cheers such as, ""Racist, sexist, anti-gay, neo-Nazis, go away"" and signs reading, ""Follow your leader, Kill yourself."" The announced purpose of the rally was to denounce illegal immigration and the U.S. ""open borders policy,"" but the underlying theme was little different from that of every neo-Nazi gathering. Most of the rallying National Socialists wore brown long-sleeved shirts and red swastika armbands reminiscent of Adolf Hitler. For protestors of the rally, who tried to shout down the National Socialists from nearly a block away, Saturday offered a chance to rally the troops. ""We are coming to show with our numbers and with our voices that their kind of hate is not welcomed in Madison,"" said Jesse Zarley of the No Nazis in Madison Coalition. ""We are standing up for the communities they are targeting, and the main message is to drown out their message of hate."" Neo-Nazis were scant among the general crowd, but one supporter of the rally argued with protestors, screaming, ""This is my home too."" Although some protesters opposed the neo-Nazis receiving a permit to rally, most believed it was their First Amendment right and were instead protesting the views of the Socialist Movement. ""Denying them a permit makes them free speech martyrs,"" Zarley said. ""Since they have the free speech to say what they are saying, we have the free speech to say that we don't agree."" The rally wavered between serious and comical and, at one point, a group of men dressed in pink rabbit costumes began protesting. ""We figured that when else can pink bunnies walk around the Capitol and not be the most ridiculous group there,"" said Mike Quieto, who was in full costume. According to the Capitol Police, which staffed more than 300 uniformed officers, the rally had the potential to turn violent, but ended in only five arrests. ""From a police-perspective this event was a tremendous success,"" Capitol Police Chief David Heinle said. ""The event started and ended on time, and we have no reports of personal injury or property damage.""
Dressed in rainbow-colored T-shirts, adults, children and students from UW-Madison as well as several Wisconsin high schools marched from Library Mall to the Capitol Wednesday for a rally to recognize the 10th annual Day of Silence.
On the 100 Block of North Mills Street two cars struck a bicyclist Sunday evening, one of them dragging him approximately 50 feet.
UW-Madison sophomore Ray Rosing was alert and in good condition Monday after a bike accident in which he was hit by two cars and dragged approximately 60 feet under the back tires of a car.
There can never be too much of a good thing, especially when it comes to food. With this philosophy in mind, I decided last week to abandon all nutritional recommendations and indulge in a diet of purely junk food. It was a week filled with ups and downs—a blood sugar roller coaster—which left me seeking solace in the Green Giant.
Many college students at one point or another have considered doing something unconventional to earn money. Some sell their football tickets, others sell their bodily fluids. Two enterprising UW-Madison students have even opted to sell their forehead space.
Every week there is usually a development of some sort that I can expound upon in self-important fashion, as I appear (to some of you, anyway) to care deeply about nearly every argument I make. But really, this column is a weekly outlet for self-expression. You have a blog. Or a Facebook profile. Or My Space. This column is like that, except nobody lets me get away with cute spelling.
I have never been a fan of fitness classes. After laughing myself out of Hip Hop Mania and getting too busy to keep up with Group Strength in past years, I decided to stick to the treadmill and Lakeshore paths instead. But after hearing friends talk about how much they love classes at the Southeast Recreational Facility and the Natatorium, I decided to give them another chance.
The Daily Cardinal's Les Chappell spent an afternoon with the Madison Hash House Harriers and shares his experiences with these quirky, thirsty runners.
Today's ROD is a self-described walking 'Hangovers' section. He delights in regaling his varied friend base with lurid tales of mischief and woe from the bar scene. He says that his favorite installment of the 'Zane Enloe Files' happened when, for reasons he insists are related to LGBT activism, he wore a skirt to the bars one night only to awake the following morning on a strange stoop on the East side with a melted tub of Ben and Jerrys beside him and one be-tasseled pasty on his nipple.
Dear Hangover ~
The wardrobe of a typical UW-Madison student on game day does not usually include the maroon and gold of the Minnesota Gophers. Unless of course the student happens to be one of the nearly 3,000 Minnesotans attending UW-Madison thanks to the tuition reciprocity agreement between Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The first 10 minutes of the showdown between Illinois and Wisconsin Tuesday night was like a dream come true for Badger fans.
