How's that New Year's weight loss resolution going for you? The overly common premise of television commercials this time of year contains the typically chubby American scrambling to the nearest Bally's with hope of banishing that flabby physique. While these advertisements can be a source of motivation for individuals with a slowing metabolism and sedentary lifestyle, the unequally distributed and improperly focused television ads for weight loss are vastly ineffective, and bordering on sexist.
Take a cursory glance at the health news on any given day and you'll start seeing reoccuring buzzwords pop up again and again. Antioxidants, in particular, are a popular choice. In my mind, a typical viewer would likely make note these findings: \Oh, coffee has antioxidants? Sweet! And blueberries, too? That's friggin' awesome!"" The news item proceeds to replicate in their head like a virus. During their next trip to the grocery store, these consumers may be stricken by a need to pick up said products.
On the eve of the Mifflin Street Block Party, Pulitzer Prize winner Eric Newhouse spoke about alcoholism and its effects, a topic that drove him to write his award-winning series of articles.
Consider these facts: Your grandmother is 90 years old and lives in New Jersey (where she's lived her whole life and where your parents grew up). Her reasonably good health is shattered when she is felled by a stroke. She has become incompetent and needs to enter a nursing home. The homes near her are not well-regarded, plus, your parents, who now live in Wisconsin, would like her to live closer to them (and to you). Your parents can get her into a top-notch nursing home near their home in Madison. And, thanks to a lifetime of saving and long-term care insurance, your grandmother can pay whatever it costs. That's the good news.
As the gates open on round two of the Taxpayers' Bill of Rights debate, it has become increasingly in vogue for TABOR proponents to use Colorado, the native soil of both TABOR and myself, as an exhibit of TABOR's success and popularity. TABOR is an initiative that is designed to strictly cap state revenue through the adaptation of a constitutional amendment. In 1992, Colorado became, and has since remained, the only state in the union to put TABOR into law. Leading the TABOR charge at home is state Rep. Frank Lasee, R-Green Bay.

In tahe first billboard the hosts' mouths are duct taped while Fish holds a flashlight, in the second they are tied together with rope and in the last they are peeking out from behind some brush.

Prescription drugs, counseling and administrative actions are the three primary methods the university uses to actively engage students who are experiencing one or more of a myriad of challenges to mental health.
UW-Madison students are pursuing mental health care more than ever before.
Well, it's Election Day. Too bad Wisconsin is one of those oh-so-important swing states, or you could really have some fun with the write-in spot. Sure they all have their pros and cons, but just look at all these candidates from the sports world you could pencil in. Hell, they have as good a chance as Ralph Nader.
\We're often not really all that happy-have you noticed that?"" author Jon Kabat-Zinn asked a full crowd at Memorial Union Theater April 22. Kabat-Zinn and Andrew Weil, M.D., lectured as part of the UW Health Integrative Medicine and Mindfulness Programs.
