Week-to-week this season, it's been a familiar script for the

complete-game shutouts and pitching the seventh game on two days
rest. The Dodgers won the series four games to three.

1. Get in shape.

For those of us who are graduating in two weeks, the days seem
filled with ambiguity. There are those who look forward to
commencement with anticipation, secure in a future they've earned
and cannot wait to gain access to. For others who are just now
coming to the realization that a political science degree doesn't
guarantee them the seven-figure salary coming out of college they
were hoping for, time can not move slowly enough. Some still get
teary eyed each time they hear \Varsity"" at any given sporting
event, and others just want to curl up in a ball and pull their
hair out when the band strikes up ""If You Want To Be a Badger.""

Jack Johnson writes songs that feel warm and familiar. There is
no other way to accurately describe his sound-it isn't bad by any
stretch of the imagination, but his songs are so homogenous across
the board that it would be difficult to paint him as a musical
genius either. He's not bad, he's not great-but he's
enjoyable.

Commission, announced Friday that he plans to step down from his
position in March. James Baughman, UW-Madison School of Journalism

A genuine, finely wrought drama centering on a hot-button issue
is an uncommon find, as there are always innumerable cinematic
pitfalls that come hand in hand with controversy. Films that
present their contentious subject material in too subjective a
light will not alter opinions; they will only serve to strengthen
the issue's duality (\Fahrenheit 9/11,"" for all its success and
bravado, did not sway an election-it mainly reinforced the
liberals' hatred of Bush and the conservatives' hatred of liberals
like Michael Moore). Films at least containing a subplot about
abortion either tend to gloss over it and unintentionally
trivialize it (""Fast Times at Ridgemont High"") or overly satirize
it with broad humor that is high on caricature and low on insight
(Alexander Payne's overrated ""Citizen Ruth""). However, British
veteran Mike Leigh's latest film, ""Vera Drake,"" avoids the usual
genre hazards and emerges as a restrained, yet powerful, and
objective thought-provoker that is also one of the best films of
the year.
