During the last days of 2011, specifically on Dec. 28, the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Services officially removed the gray wolf from
the endangered species list in the Western Great Lakes region, a
region that includes the state of Wisconsin. For the past 40 years,
the gray wolf has been protected under the federal Endangered
Species Act. Thus, following this news, the state's legislatures
drafted a bill that will allow the Department of Natural Resources
to issue "wolf harvesting licenses."

Apple, over the past couple of weeks, has begun to unveil its
strategy for getting into the textbook business. It hopes to
electronically transform this industry, similar to the other
sectors it has systematically revolutionized since the turn of the
century. It is no secret that educators and academic institutions
are looking for ways to invigorate the classroom experience and to
capture the attention spans of today's students. Yet, despite the
user-friendliness of the iPad, the competition of other
products-Amazon's Kindle, Barnes and Nobles' Nook and other Android
devices-and the technologically reliant young people of the 21st
century, a problem looms: Technology can be more of a burden than
an asset unless properly integrated into a curriculum.

Last week, Democrats successfully turned in over one million
signatures in the first step of the state's gubernatorial recall
process. While it will take the state's Government Accountability
Board weeks to verify the 540,208 signatures needed to begin a
recall election against Gov. Scott Walker, unions throughout the
state will be hard at work to find the perfect candidate who
supports their ideas and ideologies. Chief among these concerns
will be to restore collective bargaining rights as they see
fit.

This upcoming Tuesday morning one can expect to hear big things
from such films as the black-and-white, early-Hollywood homage film
"The Artist," the George Clooney drama "The Descendants," and the
Martin Scorsese-directed "Hugo."

It is a seemingly "self-supporting enterprise" that collects no
tax dollars to support its expenses. It relies completely on
products and services to subsidize its operations. It generates
approximately $67 billion a year in revenues and has been named the
"Most Trusted Government Agency" for six consecutive years and the
sixth "most trusted business in the nation" by the Ponemon
Institute. What agency did I just describe? The answer is the
United States Postal Service. This important agency is currently in
a financial predicament and this problem is something that all of
America should begin paying attention to.

It has been almost impossible these past few weeks not to stumble
upon the casual congregations of Scott Walker recall supporters
vying for the signatures needed to begin the gubernatorial recall
process. There is almost no doubt that, amidst all of the political
turmoil and anger plaguing the streets of Madison and other parts
of the state, that supporters will probably obtain the 540,208
signatures needed for step one in their effort to oust the governor
from office. Yet, admittedly, Walker opponents are in need of a
strong, well-rounded and more moderate candidate. Such a candidate
should hold stances on social and economic issues that counteract
what many would label as the "ultra-reactionary" ideas of Walker's
administration.

Oh, how messy the Republican presidential race has been
lately.

The combination of his performance at last week's Republican debate
and the recent Florida ""President 5"" straw poll exhibited the
problems facing Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry. This
challenge comes despite the early promises of an energetic campaign
that began, essentially, with a 30,000-person prayer rally at
Reliant Stadium in Houston.
