Over the past two weeks, the Wisconsin women's basketball team
has shown that it can hang with any Big Ten team for 40 minutes,
home or away. But against Iowa at the Kohl Center Thursday, it was
the overtime period that did the Badgers in.

Let me be honest: I am pretty spoiled. Being your mother's only
daughter will do that to you.

The Wisconsin women’s basketball team mounted a late comeback
against Drake at the Kohl Center Sunday, but ultimately it wasn’t
enough, as the Bulldogs took home a 65-54 victory.

Although the ending of the NBA lockout was met with joy by
players, owners and fans alike, it was met with horror by the
administration and fan base of the Milwaukee Bucks. The thought of
another miserable season at the league’s bottom has already
prompted widespread protests from every facet of the
organization.

British pop star Lily Allen has carved her niche in the new wave
of pop music that has come out of the UK in recent years. Allen's
music creatively personifies her free-spirited attitude, her wild
personal life and the issues people face growing up.

I have zero acting or singing ability, and thus my chances of
becoming a celebrity are slim to none. I'm generally OK with this
fact. It is a given these days that if you have any modicum of
fame, Star Magazine will print a gigantic picture of the cellulite
in your butt on its cover with the tagline ""Which celebrity has
let herself go?"" I don't find that prospect too terribly
appealing.

State Street business owners and residents raised concerns about
changes made to Madison's annual Freakfest event at an
informational meeting held by Madison's Central Business

When Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., announced her
intentions to run for U.S. Senate, it excited and
satisfied many liberal Wisconsinites. Baldwin is an
ideologically consistent, progressive public servant whose years of
service to Madison and the nation have advanced the causes of
LGBT rights, non-profit health care and peace-oriented
foreign policy. And, perhaps not surprisingly for a Dane County
representative, Baldwin was rated in 2011 as the most liberal
member of the U.S. House of Representatives by The
National Journal— a distinction which will entice voters in
Wisconsin's 2nd and 4th congressional districts and students here
on campus.

Mayor Paul Soglin announced at Tuesday's Common
Council meeting he will not repeal the Habitually Intoxicated
Persons' List, due to strong opposition from Common Council.

When the U.S. Congress decided a few years ago to ignore national
security, economic concerns, and health care reform in favor of
holding hearings to determine whether professional athletes were
shooting themselves with steroids that, at the time, were allowed
under league rules, I was fuming. Whether or not baseball is our
national pasttime (which it is), Congress isn""t there to
investigate the integrity of professional sports. ??Now the
Department of Justice is contemplating an investigation into the
BCS and the critics are coming out of the woodwork. ""Not their
job,"" ""Waste of Time,"" ""Much Bigger Fish to Fry"": I have heard
it all. But the bottom line is that the BCS situation is far
different from the steroid investigation. ??In fact, an
investigation into the Anti-Trust compliance of the BCS is fully
justified and a perfectly good use of federal resources. Here's
why:??The BCS is essentially a system for allocating educational
grants. The money schools receive from playing in BCS bowls funds
many educational activities and as Boise State can attest to, BCS
success is a big factor in improving an institution's standing
within the higher education industry. ??Why the government? ??The
majority of BCS schools are public institutions, reliant upon
public dollars not only to fund the classes that players attend,
but also the stadiums they play in and the equipment they play
with. Coaches are public employees and the proceeds from these
programs help lessen the burden of public financing declines on
public higher education. ??Why Anti-Trust???The BCS is not the
NCAA. The only connection the BCS has to the NCAA is by a license
granted by the NCAA to have the BCS take over the Division 1 FBS
Championship. Remember, the NCAA has its own Division 1 Football
Championship. ??The BCS is also not an association of all
participating schools. It was founded by ""Power 6"" schools, is
governed by the rules these schools agree upon and is designed to
first and foremost serve the interest of those schools and
conferences only. ??Why involve the non-BCS schools???BCS programs
need other competition. More teams equal more bowls equal more
money. Essentially, the non-BCS schools are in the system to serve
as the New York Generals to the BCS Schools' Harlem Globetrotters.
Though the concessions made to entice these schools to join have
resulted in recent non-BCS successes on the BCS stage, it was never
the intent of the BCS to have TCU playing Boise State in the Fiesta
Bowl (evidenced by the mere fact that those two teams were paired
together in the selection process).??What is Wrong With That???The
BCS schools have designed the system to funnel the money to
themselves. Each school in the conference shares in the winnings
brought home by a given team's BCS bid. With the power conferences
guaranteed one team a piece and many times receiving multiple bids,
the money is destined to stay in the hands of the BCS powers. Even
in the rare event that a TCU or Boise State earns an invite, the
money funneled down the ranks of the MWC or the WAC pales in
comparison to the money flowing through the perennial 2-bid
SEC. ??Just look at TCU's willingness to accept the absurd travel
demands of joining the Big East and you should see fairly clearly
the monetary benefits of being a part of the ""in crowd"" of this
BCS system. ??The BCS is a fairly clear instance of Anti-Trust
violation. The system takes a pot of money put together by a group
of schools. Then it adds some more money by inviting other schools
to participate in the lottery that they control. The system then
guarantees that its founders will at the very least recoup their
contribution to the pot (single bid) and then takes the rest of the
pot and divides among the programs and conferences that succeed
(2nd bids or non-AQ teams). ??In a best case scenario, non-BCS
schools and conferences recoup their investment. Remember, this is
the worst case scenario for the ""in crowd."" But because the odds
of getting to this best case scenario—of getting a non-AQ team into
the BCS—pale in comparison to the odds a power six conference has
of getting a second bid. The lottery is inherently flawed. ??Thus,
the BCS is not only competitively unfair, but also financially
unethical and perhaps even legally impermissible. To compare this
to the steroid issue (another potentially viable investigation gone
horribly off track) is to completely trivialize the enormous impact
that college athletics has come to have on funding for public
higher education. There is no doubt about it, the Department of
Justice is fully justified in investigating the legality of the
BCS.

I've tried to justify Nebraska moving into the Big Ten in every way
imaginable. Maybe it makes sense more than Texas? Maybe they could
forge a great rivalry with neighboring Iowa? Maybe they will now be
able to recruit for basketball and the athletic prowess of UNL will
turn that into NCAA Tournament success? Maybe we need another red
colored team?

In an attempt to combat Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair law,
state Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, introduced a constitutional
amendment Monday to permanently protect the rights of public
employees to collectively bargain.
