While the hockey replay review system exists to ensure that each
goal in the NCAA and the NHL is legal, there still exist some
blatant errors in the judgment of referees in the NCAA and video
goal judges in the NHL.

The holiday shopping season has officially begun, bringing in
the tidal wave of materialism and credit card debt Americans
lovingly refer to as the season of giving. Of course, not everyone
is thrilled with what the modern American Christmas has become. In
What Would Jesus Buy?"" we follow one such group, The Church of
Stop Shopping. While the documentary has entertaining footage of
the performance/activist group staging their own brand of protest,
the film falters when it comes to providing substantial facts and
other sources, making the film more of a sermon than a balanced
look at American materialism.

With Wisconsin football and basketball schedules at hand, it's
fairly easy - think Duke offense slicing through Badger defense
kind of easy - to say this will be one of the more forgettable
sports weekends in Madison.

The Madison City Council narrowly voted Thursday night to keep
the mayor's and police chief's recommendation of adding 30 new

million - in the 2008 operating budget.

The college football season has been second to none when it
comes to upsets this year. Just take a look at how the top spots in
the weekly polls have been changing. Every week for the past three
weeks, the No. 2 team in the country has fallen: first it was USC,
then it was Cal, and last Thursday it was the Bulls of South
Florida. In the past four weeks, there have been three different
teams listed as No. 1 in the country. Even more surprising, every
week for the past four weeks, at least two of the nations top six
teams have fallen, with at least one of those teams losing to an
unranked opponent.

portions of the budget Tuesday, passing two pieces of legislation
unlikely to be introduced in the Democrat-controlled state
Senate.

Badger fans went on quite a rollercoaster ride these past two
weeks. First, there was the e-mail problem with football tickets,
and then the announcement of a new distribution policy for
basketball and hockey tickets.

Five animated shorts were nominated for this year's Academy
Award for ""Best Animated Short,"" and their variety mirrors the
many possibilities that the term ""animated"" now encapsulates:
""traditional"" pen-and-ink animation, computer-generated and even
a hybrid of the two. Screenings of the nominated shorts are showing
across the country, including one last weekend in Madison.

Bite of the Week

Trains are awesome. As a youth, they always excited me. I gorged
myself on all things locomotive. The ""Shining Time Station""
program on public television was a daily must-watch and games like
""Railroad Tycoon"" and ""A-Train"" crowded the family computer's
hard drive. I dreamt of one day when I could drive my own iron
horse along the long-abandoned rail lines crisscrossing this
nation. Then I graduated high school and realized the time for
dreaming was over.

We all remember certain gifts from our youth. Maybe it was that
first G.I. Joe action figure or maybe one of those light-up yo-yos
that you saw on TV commercials. Certain presents just trigger happy
thoughts and conjure up pleasant recollections.

age 79, Risser has become a respected leader in the Legislature,
and the senator said he has no plans to quit yet.

A lot of people hate Michael Moore, and it's easy to see why:
he's obnoxious, grandiose, occasionally belittling and relentlessly
obtuse in defending his viewpoints. However, it's these traits that
make him a phenomenal showman, or at the very least, a political
extremist worth listening to. Billy Wilder once said, ""If you're
going to tell the truth, be funny or they will kill you""—wise
words to remember when making an overtly political film. Maybe
you're not required to be funny, per se, but if you want to
convince groups of people to listen to you and/or your actors bitch
for two hours, your bitching better be entertaining. Even the
legendarily stiff Al Gore pulled this off, enticing droves of
people to leave their homes in order to see him lecture about
global warming because he and his collaborators didn't forget how
to be engaging.

National coverage of the use of a ""W"" logo similar to
UW-Madison's ""Motion W"" at a high school in Waukee, Iowa, has
fueled media attention to other high schools across the nation with
similar logos.

Sitting on Lih-Shend Turng's desk are a non-descript,
whitish-gray plastic plate and bowl set. Almost artistically
opaque, foamy swirls curl around the bowl's curves. Upon closer
examination, this plasticware has heft and rigidity that could
definitely stand up to Aunt Linda's baked beans.

You pass by them every day on the streets of Madison. The
clanking of coins in their plastic cups has become no different
than the muffled sound of a campus bus or the echo of police sirens
on University Avenue—so normal that no one even notices anymore.
