Snaking through the crowds, I found myself sitting in front of
an ideal gameday brunch: an omelet sprinkled with shredded cheddar,
toast and slices of crispy bacon, all washed down with a blueberry
milkshake. Then, time to wobble your way to Camp Randall for the
second half of a greasy, sweaty day. It's not until now that you
start longing for a refreshing bite of tomatoes.

Soda aficionados, next time you go grocery shopping, be sure to
get enough of them, at least for the rest of the year. A panel of
researchers and policy makers are advocating for a penny per ounce
tax on all sugary beverages, including not only soda, but also
energy drinks, many juices and ice teas. President Obama has said
it's worth considering. If the proposal becomes law, you'll end up
paying 50% more for your 12-pack refridgerator case of Mountain
Dew.

Thirty-seven job applications, then eight e-mail rejections and
nothing more. This isn't the worst nightmare of a recent graduate,
but a harsh reality facing many college students. Even though the
economy seems to be on the mend, the employment rate is diving
further. At the university level, job losses may go by hundreds,
while working opportunities come in single digits. In this climate,
part-time positions, also a top choice for students, take the
hardest hit.

While the AT&T and iPhone combination seems to dominate the
smart-phone market, the Justice Department has begun to cast
dubious looks on the pairing. AT&T, as the sole U.S.
distributor of Apple's idolized handset, has enough control to
intimidate competitors and consumers with its policy of only
selling phones with an attached service contract. Exclusive
cell-phone deals like this have already spurred the early stages of
antitrust investigations against companies like AT&T and
Verizon. For consumers, the move is definitely encouraging. But
more fundamental and concerning than controversies over high-end
smart-phones is another issue that deserves greater attention:
service contracts that only allow the use of phones sold by the
service provider.

Still grumpy because your dream political science class is full
again? The school has something more to offer: UW-Madison just
launched an iTunes page last week, featuring a series of podcasts
and videos, including a political science talk show. For an
institution of global ambitions, there couldn't be a better way to
extend its outreach.

Before my roommate got pissed off at the two editions of her
Prego Italian textbook, I had known this moment would come. The
seventh edition she is currently using cost $96.85. Meanwhile, the
sixth edition was sitting innocently on a clearance shelf with a $2
price tag. So what's the fundamental difference between two
editions of the same book? First of all, illustrations. The author,
Mr. Rossi, aged from an oily-haired dude into a wobbling grandpa
within three years. From a geeky perspective, ways of saying days,
months and years were introduced on a full page in the sixth
edition, whereas the same information was separated into two half
pages in the seventh. Under Stress and Intonation, the sequence of
Examples Two and Three was alternated. And that's it! One of my
friends ventured out to ask her professor why she should buy the
seventh edition when she already had the sixth. Here was his
answer: ""They have different page numbers!""
