Wisconsin at a Crossroads: Can the Badgers Bounce Back?
2009-10-11 22:46:00 COLUMBUS, Ohio--This wasn't how Bret Bielema imagined his Saturday afternoon would go.Bielema's Badgers came into the Horseshoe on Saturday confident, sporting a 5-0 record, and expecting to go 6-0 for the first time since Barry Alvarez roamed the sidelines in 2004. Wisconsin, under Alvarez, enjoyed tremendous success on the field and other than Michigan, no team has beaten the Buckeyes more often in that time frame (1990-2005) than the Badgers. Bielema was the defensive coordinator for Alvarez's 2004 team and knows what it takes to beat Ohio State. He also knows that the underdog Badgers were victorious against the mighty Buckeyes four times in six attempts from 1999-2004....
Ironman Wisconsin 2009- A Look Back
2009-09-19 23:40:00 A week after Ironman- Wisconsin, most of the muscles have stopped aching and all that's left are great memories. We are fortunate enough to have two different writers share their views of this years event.The first a race summary, the second an inside look at what it takes to make it across the finish line 140.6 miles away.Ironman Wisconsin 2009, September 13, Madison Wisconsin.By Raymond BrittAnything can happen in an Ironman triathlon, and, more often than not, it does.

Wisconsin Badgers Fight The Flu and Pull Together To Find Their Team
2009-09-14 05:57:00 MADISON, Wis. -- Last week in Madison, the Wisconsin football team made the most of a sick situation. As many as 40 players were sick forcing coach Bret Bielema and his staff to make significant changes to their practice schedule. "You know we don't usually practice on Fridays and I told the guys Thursday night because of the work we didn't get Tuesday we need to go out and practice and they didn't bat an eye," Bielema said Saturday. The Badgers didn't complain, but instead went to work, the best they could, under less than ideal conditions. "There were a few times you'd walk into the locker room and you'd hear some guy chucking into one of the garbage cans,"...

October 3 Election Analysis
2008-10-04 01:49:00 Updated October 4:Obama is really starting to pull away now. McPalin better do something and fast. They've got nothing to lose at this point, and I expect the full bore of 527's with Revered Wright, William Ayers and anything else they can dredge up. I figure things are going to get awful dirty real fast. To be honest, it's probably McCain's only hope at this point.Pennsylvania looks like it is pulling away for Obama now. Biden is a big hit here. It's a funny state. There's Democratic Philly and Pittsburgh and Pennsyltucky, Pennsylsippi and Pennsylbama in between. A bunch of rural, racist Whites, often Democrats, who love to hunt and ain't voting for no nigger.Still, recent polls are giving Obama up to a 12 point lead. The state has a 1 million Democratic registration advantage so it's really a trap for McCain. The plot was that as long as it was close enough, McCain would be forced to spend a lot of time and money in Pennsylvania, and he'd probably end up losing.McCain's ...

More Concrete for Wisconsin Highways is NOT the Answer
2008-06-05 03:23:00 James Rowen, at The Political Environment, has written elegantly about the inappropriate policies that we are pursuing for our regional transporation systems in Wisconsin:"Politicians, Planners And Lobbyists Choose Highways Over Rail""Thinking Globally, Forgetting Locally"In his second post, Rowen says:"Southeastern Wisconsin needs more transit, and it needs cleaner air, too - - twin goals, both worthy and linked."We're constantly told that highway expansion is the key to economic development, when, in fact, rail lines stimulate economic growth, too, from housing to retail to the long-term, well-paying jobs that keep the trains running and serviced."Smog, unhealthy air and non-existent transit systems, on the other hand, are economic turnoffs - - for potential tourists, business relocations, incoming students and all the people who already live and work here."Climate change is a tremendously complex set of issues, and certainly difficult to effect globally from one medium-sized cit...

Chicago Still in the Hunt for the 2016 Summer Olympics
2008-06-04 19:38:00 The BBC, The Wall Street Journal, and the Offical website for the Olympic Movement have released stories that Chicago is on the list of the final four cities to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. The other cities on the list are Tokyo, Madrid, and Rio de Janeiro. Each city now has 16 months to present their case. The International Olympic Committee will make a decision in Copenhagen on October 2, 2009.According to the BBC, "The strongest contender in terms of infrastructure, support and money is Chicago, 20 years after the last US summer Games in Atlanta, 1996 . . . The Americans will however have to improve the technical aspect of their bid after an IOC evaluation report ranked Tokyo and Madrid much higher than Chicago, with Rio in fourth place."This would be a great opportunity for all of the Midwest--and the state of Wisconsin. We should do all that we can to help Chicago secure the games.

2008-06-01 05:58:00 Last week, I was able to spend a few days and nights with my family in the Birchwood area (BirchwoodWI.com, Birchwood Area Chamber of Commerce, AnythingWisconsin.com, Wikipedia). We stayed at Janetski's Big Chetac Resort on Big Chetac Lake. We had nice, sunny weather for the entire time we were up there--however, I did have to adjust to the temperature a bit. In Thailand, this would be considered winter!~a view of Big Chetac Lake from our cabin~~ditto~From our cabin, we were able to make a short--30 minute--drive north to Hayward (Hayward Area Chamber of Commerce, HaywardWI.com, HaywardLakes.com, Wikipedia).

Looking for Thai Food in Milwaukee or Madison? Or Anywhere?
2008-06-01 01:43:00 When I was down in Madison a couple of weeks ago, I went to Sa-Bai Thong Thai Cuisine. The food was authentic and declicious! The prices may be a little more expensive than some other asian food places. However, the serving sizes are big and the staff is friendly. If you know a little Thai, you can show off your skills there. :)If you are going to be in Milwaukee anytime soon, you might want to stop by the Thai Palace. I haven't had a chance to eat there, but--according to OnMilwaukee.com--the "Thai Palace is not flashy, but the food is fabulous."If you are looking for other Thai restaurants around the country go to ThaiCuisine.com and search for results.Also, if you have time, you may want to submit your opinions to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's latest Food Fight.

Use Food Stamps at Madison's Farmers' Market
2008-05-31 18:48:00 The Capital Times reports that the "Farmers' market fare [is] now available with food stamps":"Participants in Wisconsin's food stamp program are now able to buy fresh food from the Saturday and Wednesday Dane County Farmers' Markets."The program is an effort to help low income families get more healthy, fresh, locally-raised food. In the past, food stamp recipients were restricted from using food stamps at the market because vendors work on a cash basis.. . . "In Dane County, more than 10,000 families participate in the FoodShare Wisconsin program. Though the benefit amounts vary by household size and income, the average benefit for households here is about $182 per month. The program helps families purchase breads, grains, cereals, meats, dairy products, fruits and vegetables."I think this is a great idea!
The Great Lakes Basin Water Resources Compact
2008-05-30 23:48:00 On Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Governor Jim Doyle signed the Great Lakes Basin Water Resources Compact. The Compact overwhelming passed the State Senate (32-1) and State Assembly (96-1) in bipartisan fashion. In a statement on the Milwaukee Biz Blog on May 28 Governor Doyle said:"The Great Lakes Compact not only protects these resources for generations to come, but presents a great economic opportunity for Wisconsin, where we have the second-largest amount of Great Lakes shoreline of anyone. One of our greatest competitive advantages in a 21st Century global economy is our water--water that will help Wisconsin businesses grow and draw new businesses to our state."As water sources in metropolitan areas across the country dry up, our sparkling blue waters will look better than they ever have. It's imperative we keep that water here in the Midwest, not in faraway deserts in other corners of the country."On May 27, State Senator Robert Cowles (R-Green Bay) praised the adoption of the Compact...

May 29, 1848
2008-05-29 20:35:00 On this day--in 1848--Wisconsin became the 30th state to join the Union. As the Wisconsin Historical Society reports, "Its nickname, the 'Badger State,' was not in reference to the fierce animal but miners who spent their winters in the state, living in dugouts and burrowing much like a badger."Voters in Wisconsin initially rejected a 1846 Constitution. Therefore, a second convention was held in 1847, which led to a constitution that was approved by government delegates on February 1, 1848 and adopted by voters on March 13, 1848. The Wisconsin Historical Society reminds us that this document "is still, with amendments, the basic law of the land in Wisconsin."

Henry Aaron--a Baseball Player Worth Honoring
2008-05-20 21:07:00 Last Saturday, Henry "Hank" Aaron (BaseballLibrary.com, Wikipedia, Biography.com) delivered a commencement address at Concordia University. This was only the second commencement address he could remember giving--the other was at Harvard University. When asked by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel why he had decided to give an address at Concordia University, he replied, "It is Wisconsin. It is Milwaukee. It gives me a chance to see a lot of my friends. My attachment to Milwaukee and Wisconsin is always something that will be in my heart."Hank Aaron has a long history of playing baseball in Wisconsin: he played for both the Eau Claire Bears (Wikipedia) and the Milwaukee Brewers. During his long career in Major League Baseball, Hank Aaron went on to become the player to hit the most homeruns--755. Barry Bonds has since broken that record. But, I tend to agree with Hank--last Saturday he said, "I still consider myself the home-run king."In 6th grade, I read Hank Aaron's Autobiography: I H...

Crop Progress in the Chippewa Valley is behind the rest of the state
2008-05-20 19:17:00 The Capital Times reports:"The Wisconsin Crop Progress report released Monday said corn planting is 56 percent complete, soybean planting is 22 percent complete and oats planting is 83 percent complete."Spring tillage is progressing at full force with 66 percent complete, but some counties are still slow because of excessively wet soils."Counties in the Chippewa Valley region are some of those that are affected by the excessively wet soils that are a result of Wisconsin's wet winter (something I didn't have to experience this year).WEAU reports:"Chippewa County Agriculture Agent, Randy Knapp, says as of last week--local farmers had about 30% of their crop in the ground. By now, he says that number is likely up to 50%. Still, he says those numbers are behind the 10-year average.". . ."Still agriculture agents say it?s important to remember ? there?s a whole growing season ahead of us."'It's a bit cool yet, but we can make this up in June, July and August,' said Knapp."On the fli...
Menominee becomes 18th Wisconsin city to agree to a Climate Protection Agre
2008-05-20 18:47:00 The Capital Times reports that Menominee is joining 17 other Wisconsin municipalities to fight global warming. The other cities that have already signed on to the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement are Ashland, Bayfield, Greenfield, Kenosha, La Crosse, Madison, Milwaukee, New Berlin, Oshkosh, Racine, River Falls, Stevens Point, Superior, Washburn, Waukesha, Wauwatosa and West Allis.The Mayor of Menominee, Dennis Kropp, said last Thursday, "We are trying to do our little part in the world . . . We are exploring options. We have a brand new fire station that is environmentally friendly, and we are reducing dependence on fossil fuels as much as we can. We are experimenting with whether we can use biofuels for dump trucks, for instance."This is good to see, but I am wondering why cities from the Chippewa Valley have not yet signed on this this agreement? I am wondering if Eau Claire has not signed on to this agreement because the city does not have a mayor--and, ther...
Low Gas Prices--Are They Worth Remembering?
2008-05-20 08:22:00 WEUA asks a silly question: do you remember when gas was 99 cents? I do. I'm not that old, and I remember when it was 87 cents a gallon. But lets be honest with ourselves--gas prices will NEVER be low again. There are a first reasons for this. First, oil prices are continuing to hit unprecedented highes along with gas prices. Therefore, oil companies are passing along the price increase to consumers.However, the second reason is more important--America has been paying lower gas prices than the rest of the world FOREVER--when I let Thailand gas prices had risen to $5.17 a gallon. This means that even if this recent rise in oil prices is a bubble, don't expect gas prices to fall when oil prices do. U.S. oil companies (despite the billions of dollars in profits they reap) have been waiting a long time to bring U.S. gas prices inline with the rest of the world. Do you think they will just back away from that once they have achieved this goal?So, besides reminiscing and complaining, wh...
