Badgers fall to Marquette, Big Ten looms
The Wisconsin men's soccer team (1-6-1) fell to in-state rival Marquette (3-3-2) Tuesday night.

Wisconsin enters Big Ten schedule full of confidence
The Badgers volleybla team (11-0) open their Big Ten conference play Friday at 7 p.m. against No. 25 Ohio State (12-1) and continue Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. against No. 2 Penn State (10-1) at the UW Fieldhouse. The Badgers are one of the two Big Ten teams that are still undefeated, and hope to carry their momentum forward into this weekend's matches. Their confidence and level of intensity should help them match-up well with these tough opponents.

'2012' a fun disaster
In just over a week it will be Thanksgiving, the beginning of the holiday season that ignites a festive spirit of togetherness in all of us. Families will reunite, celebrate their kin and enjoy each other's company. Obviously, there is no better way to kick off this joyous time than with a new apocalyptic disaster film, which director Roland Emmerich saw fit to provide in his latest offering of global suffering, ""2012.""
Abolish Supreme Court elections
Last week, the Wisconsin legislature's Joint Finance Committee passed legislation setting up a new public financing structure for Supreme Court candidates. This public financing would provide campaign funding for viable Supreme Court candidates who agree to forgo private financing, totaling $100,000 for primary elections and $300,000 for general elections. Clearly lawmakers were reacting to last year's campaign between Justice Michael Gableman and former Justice Louis Butler Jr., which was widely considered to be one of the nastiest statewide campaigns in recent memory.

Disregard for norms lets ‘Basterds’ shine
""Inglourious Basterds,"" the latest film directed by Quentin Tarantino, is obviously designed to provoke strong responses; so far, it has certainly made good on this objective. Depending on who you ask, the film is either morally reprehensible or an idiosyncratic tribute to the power of cinema. But perhaps it's most useful to think of the film as a stage in the development of Tarantino's style: ""Basterds"" is highly allusive, remarkably unsubtle, formally bold and insanely well-written.
High-fructose corn syrup is high in misconception
Time and again we encounter situations in which facts are not completely revealed nor explained, especially in the field of science. From misconceptions about vaccines causing autism, to blaming high fructose corn syrup for causing obesity and diabetes, those who advocate for a cause often have not investigated the scientific facts pertaining to the topic. A piece of advice to all: know your topic before running with it, particularly when the topic is scientifically based and you wish to debate it with someone in the sciences. Today, I will elucidate the most common misconceptions surrounding the topic of high-fructose corn syrup. For background knowledge: sucrose, fructose and glucose are all forms of sugar I mention in this article.

Matt thinks slowly and quite incorrectly
If a thought occurs to you first thing after waking up, it's always best to write it down immediately. Is it good? Is it bad? Where does it come from? Those are questions to ask later, when you know for certain that you're awake, since it's a fact there's no use asking questions if you're still in a dream—no one ever has the decency to give a straight answer, that is, if they're talking at all.
