Gov.’s plan to cost state Walker refuses full Medicaid expansion, alternate plan to cost taxpayers $250M Polo Rocha Senior Legislative Editor Gov. Scott Walker’s health care plan would cost taxpayers about $250 million more than a full Medicaid expansion would, according to a nonpartisan analysis released Friday.

The Legislative Fiscal Bureau’s analysis showed the state would pay $320.3 million more by 2020 under Walker’s plan, compared to $66.7 million more under a full expansion of Medicaid that Democrats seek and a savings of $164.2 million under a third route, which

is seen as a middle ground between the two plans.

While the other two plans rely much more on federal spending, Walker’s plan would require the federal government pay $460.6 million more by 2020. The full expansion plan would cost the federal government $4.38 billion more, and the third route would cost $4.1 billion more, the analysis found.

Walker announced Wednesday he would reject the full Medicaid expansion made optional under the federal health

Wisconsin small business groups voiced their support Friday for a bill that would open the door for mining operations to set up shop in the state, citing the possible economic benefits to a number of industries near the mine site.

In a statement released Friday, the Wisconsin Restaurant Association, Tavern League of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Grocers Association and National Federation of Independent Business all advocated for a mining bill that would streamline the permit process for iron mines in Wisconsin.

Since its introduction, many arguments in favor of the bill have centered on its potential for job creation in the state.

“This is not about a mining company, it’s about jobs,” Brandon Scholz, president and CEO of WGA, said in a statement. “This $1.5 billion mining project will create thousands of jobs

in Wisconsin, bring more customers into grocery stores and get local economies back on track.”

The statement said increased economic activity near the site of the proposed iron mine would spur economic activity for businesses servicing the

The state Assembly approved a paper ballot vote Thursday to lift a ban on fundraising during the period of time when the budget is up for consideration, a measure some critics say could allow special interest groups to leverage their agendas through campaign donations.

The policy, which was approved by the Committee on Assembly Organization, will allow members of the Assembly to raise funds anywhere in Wisconsin besides Dane County

during the budget period, beginning when the budget is introduced and ending when the governor signs the bill into law.

Jay Heck, spokesperson for Common Cause in Wisconsin, and Mike McCabe, Wisconsin Democracy Campaign spokesperson, both said lifting the ban was a step backward for the state.

Heck said the 2009 Democrat-controlled Assembly’s motion to ban this sort of fundraising reflected the understanding that members should not be raising money while

Residents voice support for Public Market INSIDE Plan for year-round bazaar to create new market for vendors, access to fresh, local foods Elana Charles Herald Contributor A City of Madison committee released the results of a public opinion survey that found positive community support for the plan to open a yearround public market in the city.

The survey was distributed to gauge interest from Madison community members and

vendors and conducted by the Madison Local Food Committee, Peggy Yessa, a representative from the City of Madison Office of Business Resources, said.

The surveys were distributed to potential vendors for the public market during a press conference held late last year, Yessa said, adding the surveys were available online and in print.

“The survey was conducted to see if people were interested in the idea and what they would be selling [at the public market],” Yessa said.

The survey showed 65 percent of those surveyed were very interested in the idea of opening

a public market in Madison, with 96 percent reporting they had experience in running a business, the report said.

The results of the survey were very positive, Yessa said, both from the point of view of community members and vendors.

The results of the survey found the majority of people were interested in having crafts and art sold at the market, followed by fruits and vegetables. In addition, respondents indicated an interest in seeing meat, fish, flowers and baked goods, as well as other various foods and items sold at the market.

According to Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, the public market would provide a place for people to buy fresh produce and other locally produced food all year-round.

There are many public markets throughout the country and now hopefully Madison will be another place where this is possible, he added.

The report said one of the goals of opening a public market is to give local businesses an opportunity to expand and create larger consumer bases, ultimately creating a second market for businesses to sell their products.

In terms of location, the public expressed the most interest for the public market to be on west side, such as near University Avenue, followed by the east side, such as around East Washington Avenue.

Yessa said the idea of opening a public market has been talked about for many years in various formats and added opening a public market will allow there to be more local food options and would help to better distribute the food to Madison residents.

Resnick also emphasized the

By turning down the full Medicaid expansion, Walker also declined additional federal funds.

The federal government would have paid 100 percent of the expansion’s costs until 2016, a rate which would gradually decrease to its permanent rate of 90 percent in 2020.

Walker said given the federal government’s debt problems, he is unsure whether it would maintain those funding promises.

Board approves budget increase Athletics approves $133M for 2013-14, facilites slated for renovation projects Noah Goetzel Higher Education Editor The University of Wisconsin’s Athletic Board approved an increased budget in their meeting Friday, in addition to announcing major changes to football scheduling for upcoming seasons.

The Athletic Board voted unanimously to approve its 2013-2014 budget. Athletic Board Finance Chair Mark Covaleski said the $133 million budget will double annual construction capital spending for a new facility and raise salaries and benefits for Athletic Department staff while having about $100,000 in other expenses.

The spike in spending from last year’s $108 million budget comes from an approximately $31 million, one-year expenditure to fund building the Student Athlete Performance Center, according to Randy Marnocha, associate athletic director for business operations. The facility is currently under construction at the north end of Camp Randall Stadium.

Marnocha said ticket prices will remain constant.

“Athletics tries to maintain our ticket budgets and doesn’t want to pass any unnecessary increases,” Marnocha said.

He added revenue decreased by about $2.5

the funding rate changes.

Walker said he would instead keep the current reimbursement rate, in which the federal government pays about 60 percent of the state’s Medicaid costs, and the state pays about 40 percent.

“It’s unfortunate that politics got in the way of a good policy decision for Wisconsin’s lowincome population and the taxpayers,” said Mike Bare, research coordinator for Community Advocates Public Policy Institute, an organization that supports the third health care plan.

Walker’s plan would reduce Medicaid eligibility rates to 100 percent of the poverty level, moving those above that level to private insurance exchanges set to begin in 2014. His plan does not apply to children or the elderly.

However, Walker would lift a 2009 Medicaid cap for adults without children, allowing 82,000 childless

million this past year due to a drop off in parking revenue, which must now be split with UW Transportation Services, and about a $500,000 reduction in men’s hockey ticket sales.

Marnocha noted the increase in salaries for department staff is due to fringe benefits and wage of living increases. He added staff wages will rise between 37 and 97 cents per hour.

The Big Ten will also stop playing games against Football Championship Subdivision teams in coming years, Athletic Director Barry Alvarez announced in the meeting.

Alvarez said the Big Ten’s athletic directors met last week and made three decisions regarding the future of Big Ten sports, particularly for football.

The athletic directors agreed to eliminate all but three recruiting restrictions the NCAA sought to abolish, according to Alvarez. He added they will also add one or two in-conference football games per season and play only Football Bowl Subdivision opponents starting no sooner than the 2016-2017 season.

Alvarez said Big Ten schools will soon face only the top 125 teams in college football to strengthen the conference’s schedules and prepare for new television contracts.

adults under 100 percent of the poverty level into Medicaid. Under this cap, the current wait list for the program is more than 100,000.

He said he would also move 87,000 parents between 100 and 200 percent of the poverty level out of Medicaid and into private exchanges. Walker’s changes would amount to 5,000 fewer Medicaid enrollees.

Walker contends his plan would reduce dependence from the government while helping those that are truly in need.

“Some will portray this as not caring about people,” Walker said Wednesday. “I think it’s just the opposite.

I care too much about the people of this state not to empower them to control their own destiny.”

Other plans up for consideration Until the Legislature and federal officials approve Walker’s plan, Democrats

Athletic Board announced changes to upcoming football scheduling, cancelling all games with future FCS conference teams.

“With the new playoff system coming aboard, one of the criteria is strength of schedule and we wanted to address that within our schedule,” Alvarez said. “If you look at the way our non-conference games went since 1989, they were more FCS teams that were less competitive. For what we signed for in the TV contract, that inventory is

and advocacy groups will continue to push for alternate plans, two of which were included the in the LFB analysis.

The Democrats’ plan for full expansion would not change the Medicaid parents program and would use federal funds to expand the childless adults program to those under 133 percent of the poverty level.

The third route would set Medicaid eligibility for both parents and childless adults at 133 percent of the poverty level, not the 100 percent figure from Walker’s plan. It also differs from the Democrats’ plans in reducing the eligibility rate for parents. This plan is the only one that would save the state money, according to the Bureau.

Jon Peacock, research director for Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, said Congress did not design the private insurance exchanges for low-income families.

FUNDRAISING, from 1 putting together the state budget, as many groups with a stake in the state budget could then make campaign contributions.

According to Heck, such influence by outside interest groups taints public perception, demonstrating how donors could “buy favoritism.”

Heck said a number of states ban fundraising during the budget session and many have a ban written into state law. He argued Wisconsin needs such a law instead of just a Senate and Assembly rule.

The Assembly’s decision to lift this ban using paper ballot votes speaks to their desire to not draw attention to it, Heck said. Paper

ballot votes are used in the Senate and Assembly to pass votes without holding public meetings.

“It just indicates they’re not very proud of it,” Heck said. “They don’t want to make a big deal about it and draw attention from the press.”

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, was charged with circulating the paper ballot. Vos could not be reached for comment.

Echoing Heck’s observation, McCabe characterized the use of paper ballots as a way to lift the ban without public scrutiny. He also said the new policy enforces a “pay to play” mentality, shaking the public’s confi dence in the Legislature.

McCabe also said going

not very appealing.

This decision to eliminate competition against FCS teams, formerly known as Division I-AA, comes after a year where, at one point last season, not a single Big Ten team was ranked in the top 25.

mining industry and its workers.

NFIB State Director Bill Smith referenced a survey his company distributed to its members to determine small business owners’ thoughts about opening a mine.

The response, Smith said, was 81.2 percent in favor of increased mining in Wisconsin. He said what these small business owners indicated is a mine would produce economic activity, not just for manufacturers and large businesses, but also for the smaller businesses catering to the industry.

Smith emphasized the diversity of his organization, whose members range from farmers to lawyers, and said the widespread agreement among such a diverse membership speaks to the economic benefits a mine could provide.

“There’s a strong consensus that the Legislature needs to make this happen. Our members are convinced that at the end of the day, it’s going to have a positive effect,” Smith said. “You need a payroll to buy necessities and local spending creates jobs. That’s really what we’re talking about here.”

Additional jobs would be created as economic growth occurs in the area,

Smith said. These jobs could include more service businesses, hotels and restaurants.

The mining operation proposed by the GOPsponsored legislation would provide access to one of the largest iron ore deposits in the world. Opponents to the bill have voiced concerns over the potential environmental impact for northern Wisconsin.

At the Assembly and Senate committee sessions last week, those in opposition to the mining legislation spoke to these environmental concerns and the rapid speed at which the bill has passed through Legislature.

“This is the most sweeping piece of legislation considered in this session other than the state budget,” Rep. Fred Clark, D-Baraboo, said at the session.

Clark said it is important to consider all of the bill’s implications. He argued if legislators do not take all of the consequences into consideration, pollution could contaminate groundwater and watersheds and last for many years.

Rep. Brett Hulsey, D-Madison, called the bill the “worst assault on Wisconsin health” and chided advocates for supporting the destruction of one of the “most beautiful places in Wisconsin.”

back to the pre-2009 rules weakens Assembly policy.

“What they’ve done now is a big step back.

It opens the door again to active funding by members during the budget process,” McCabe said.

He said the rule could create a “shakedown” of interest groups looking to get their projects funded because the policy change benefits such groups.

Fundraising goes on year-round but it intensifies during the budget session period, McCabe said, because legislators are holding the strings. During this time, they are in a position to decide what gets funded and what does not, giving them leverage they would not normally have during other times of the year.

He argued a law banning this practice would liberate politicians from having to cater to interest groups, but taking action to prevent this practice during a polarized time in state politics would also be a step in the right direction.

In the Senate, however, no such ban exists.

Tom Evenson, spokesperson for Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, said senators’ campaign committees cannot hold fundraiser events in Dane Country during days the Senate is scheduled to be in session, a policy in effect since 1993.

Evenson declined to comment on the Assembly’s decision to lift its ban on budget session fundraising.

Groups dance to raise awareness Allison Johnson City Life Editor Flash mobs cropped up across the city and the University of Wisconsin campus on Valentine’s Day in an effort to raise awareness about violence against women, both at home and across the globe.

The spontaneous dances were part of a campaign called One Billion Rising, which aims to bring people together to speak out against violence against women, according to Tony Gibart, policy coordinator for the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Flash mobs took place at Hilldale Mall, Edgewood College and Memorial Union, he said.

Gibart said the flash mobs in Madison were part of a global movement to raise awareness. Similar events occurred on the same day in many other countries with the same purpose in mind, he said. “[A flash mob] demonstrates physically and vocally peaceful resistance against gender violence around the world,” Gibart said.

One in three women are assaulted or raped in their lifetime, so of the nearly three billion women in the world, there are about one billion women who are victims of gender violence, Gibart said. He added the purpose of the event was also to mobilize positive energy and creativity on a large scale to reflect the extensiveness of the problem.

Gibart noted the positive momentum in the Madison community that came as a result of the flash mobs.

Many people who saw the events responded to the energy of the participants, he said, adding the flash mobs started conversations about issues surrounding violence against women, both in the City of Madison

and around the world.

Kelly Kwiatkowski, an instructor in the UW Dance Department, said the campaign used dance as a means for expressing protection for themselves, their loved ones and their own bodies. The flash mob was an active way to call for an end to violence against women, she said.

“I think it is a way to collectively come together as a community, to organize together and celebrate strength, community and support,” she said.

Gibart also emphasized the inclusiveness of the event and said anyone could organize friends, neighbors and community members for a similar event to raise awareness.

The organizers of the Hilldale Mall flash mob were instructors from the Hancock Center for Dance, he said.

Kwiatkowski added in addition to the flash mobs, the Dance Department also held several other dance related events to help spread One Billion Rising’s core messages.

A UW student in the department organized a dance party after the department’s Thursday concert to get more people involved in the movement and as an effort to get others to rise up and dance in support of the One Billion Rising movement, Kwiatkowski said.

The One Billion Rising is a relatively new organization, Gibart said.

The flash mobs and other dancing events are held each year on Valentine’s Day in an effort to reframe the holiday into a day of awareness and dialogue about gender violence, he said.

“Violence against women needs to be eradicated,” Kwiatkowski said. “Any effort we can make to stand up and speak out against that is worthwhile.”

Winter Festivus The City of Madison hosted the annual Winter Festival on the Capitol Square, bringing community members together for winter recreation activities.

Supreme Court candidates face off Sarah Link Reporter Tuesday’s statewide Supreme Court primary will narrow the field from three to two candidates, leaving the contenders to ramp up their efforts to reach state voters before the general election.

The three candidates, incumbent Justice Patience Roggensack, Marquette law professor Ed Fallone and lemon law attorney Vince Megna, will face off Tuesday to fill a single open Supreme Court seat.

According to Brandon Scholz, a Roggensack campaign consultant, the justice’s strengths are her 10 years of experience in the Supreme Court, as well as seven years on the state appeals courts.

Scholz added Roggensack’s experience on the appellate court is especially important, giving her a unique experience other justices do not have.

He said Roggensack’s campaign has remained positive throughout the primary race, focusing on her experience on the court.

He contrasted this with her

opponents’ strategies of attacking Roggensack and tying her into the alleged dysfunctions in the highest court “Her challengers, Megna and Fallone, just complain and attack,” Scholz said.

“For example, Fallone complains that the court is dysfunctional and doesn’t work well.”

Scholz said those accusations are flawed, as the Supreme Court continues to hear cases and

perspective he said none of the other candidates have.

A frequent critic of the nonpartisan but “effectively political” nature of the state Supreme Court race, Megna said he thinks the candidates should display their beliefs.

Megna, a Democrat, has posted videos in the past criticizing Gov. Scott Walker for changes to consumer protection laws.

Although he has not posted similar videos during the campaign, he said he remains honest about how political the race has become and does not shy away from displaying his affiliations.

“I’m a Democrat running for a seat on the Supreme Court that is a nonpartisan office, but I’m a Democrat, and I’m just being truthful,” Megna said.

On her website, Roggensack lists endorsements from about 100 former judges, including four former Supreme Court justices, along with law enforcement officials and state unions.

Former Sen. Russ Feingold, Democratic leaders, unions, two LGBT groups and an immigrant rights group endorsed Fallone.

Megna’s endorsements include a number of consumer rights advocates and a former Milwaukee County judge.

One of the candidates will be eliminated from the race after Tuesday’s statewide primary. The other two will then face off in the April 2 general election.

Opinion

MPD reforms must account for human nature Reginald Young Columnist A few weeks ago, the first of several community meetings was held to address the unfortunate November shooting that took place last semester.

Paul Heenan was fatally shot during a confrontation with a Madison Police Department officer who was responding to a burglary call that stemmed from Heenan mistakenly entering the wrong home.

Naturally, and rightfully, an occurrence like this

raises a plethora of concerns for Madisonians.

Is it safe to contact the police? Should we hesitate to call 911 unless we’re in an absolutely dire situation?

While not as outrageous as the Rodney King beating or the Amadou Diallo shooting, for example, an event like this can easily arouse the paranoid fear that police are violent and not to be trusted. One of Heenan’s neighbors even went so far as to say he would never call 911 again.

MPD Chief Noble Wray recently told the Wisconsin State Journal in light of the event, there will be internal review of procedures. For example, Wray mentioned possible modifications like increasing scrutiny of officers who have had multiple complaints of

alleged excessive force and drug and alcohol testing of officers involved in shootings.

Given public pressure to ensure unfortunate encounters like this do not happen again, MPD is definitely doing the right thing by listening to the community and brainstorming improvements. Yet, the department needs to do so in an educated way because, well, whatever the public cries it wants isn’t always in the public’s best interest.

Malcolm Gladwell (a name you probably know for being the author of Outliers and the book Macklemore’s song “10,000 Hours” is based on) discusses the unfortunate 1999 New York City shooting of Amadou

Diallo in the book Blink.

He explores the logistics of similar violent encounters between officers and citizen and puts forth some incredibly insightful explanations.

You see, human beings naturally and normally read and evaluate others’ composures when interacting. But in high stress situations, without even a few seconds for processing information, our brains suddenly become, as Gladwell describes it, temporarily autistic. For several seconds, we don’t look at other peoples’ faces or qualitative implications, but instead look at basic, purely expedient aspects.

For example, instead of subconsciously processing the questions, “Is this man dangerous? What is his

Professors should put teaching first Julia Wagner Guest Columnist The debate over how to optimize the college system has been approached from countless angles. Is it best to aim for smaller class sizes, increase scholarship funding or explore new methods of learning? For my part, I believe the best way to improve a college education is to start at the most basic level — the professors. There are some great professors at the University of Wisconsin, but it’s primarily a research institution. The faculty members spend as much (or more) time doing their own research as they do teaching. This raises a few questions.

Students enrolled at most big universities are paying an exorbitant amount of money to hear what the professors have to say, so those professors should spend as much of their working time as possible

teaching and improving their teaching.

If we accept this idea as true, however, a problem arises. It’s no secret most professors are hired based heavily on the research they are doing or the books they have published. A crucial part of the job of a faculty member is to publish research, and they are usually required to take a significant amount of paid time away (a sabbatical) to focus only on research.

The question is, how much is this research improving the education of undergraduates? An article published on the higher education website Faculty Focus by Maryellen Weimer, Ph.D., discusses “ … an impressive, evergrowing array of studies that consistently fail to show any linkage between teaching effectiveness and research productivity.”

These studies are constantly trying to find a way to justify the fact

college professors are getting paid to pursue their own intellectual interests and are evaluated as much on what they publish as they are on teaching effectiveness.

In my experience as a student, professors rarely bring up the research they are currently involved in or the books they have written. When they do, it’s usually just a line or two on what we could accomplish someday if we keep studying their subject.

Most of the research they are doing would be too advanced for the students to fully understand anyway, so the professors just focus on the material pertaining to the course.

Even though it may not be helping students, most professors spend a significant portion of their time on research. There’s no denying research is a fundamental part of being an academic, but it should not under any

circumstances be allowed to overshadow the teaching of undergraduates. The average salary of a faculty member at a university is significantly higher that of a community college faculty member because community college teachers are usually not required to publish. The fact university professors get paid more suggests they should be better teachers. In reality, though, it is because they are required to spend time on pursuits that draw them away from teaching. If students go to a university to get a better education, shouldn’t professors be worrying more about teaching? Perhaps if professors spend less time on their own intellectual pursuits, students would feel a stronger connection with them and gain a richer education.

state of mind?” we instead process, “Where are his hands? How could he threaten me?”

While I don’t explain this anywhere near as completely or eloquently as Gladwell does, the gist of it is in high-stress situations, our minds stop being human and become purely logical. And this seems, on the surface, the kind of thing you’d want your mind to do when you’re in a potentially violent situation.

But what if we initially and mistakenly judge a situation to be violent and suddenly start to evaluate whether someone is pulling a gun, instead of noticing that their facial expressions show they’re just lost and confused?

I bring up Gladwell’s insights to show MPD, in

making necessary protocol changes, needs to think insightfully. They can’t just give in to public whim and say, “OK, we increased scrutiny.” MPD should not simply choose a plan because “it will, in theory, decrease unfortunate incidents” but because “studies show this actually works based on the nature of humans, however intuitive or counterintuitive it may be.”

And hey, there’s a whole sociology department nearby for MPD to call upon for this kind of guidance, too. How convenient.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Research cruelty well documented In response to actor James Cromwell’s protest at a Board of Regents meeting, the University of Wisconsin

“How about some honesty, for a change, from our administration?” claimed the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ allegations of the mistreatment of even more cats in one of its laboratories were “unsubstantiated.”

Yet the troubling allegations in the complaint to the regents were based directly

on UW’s own internal records chronicling sick and dying cats and on horribly upsetting photos UW faculty took of their own experiments and expected no one to see.

How about some honesty, for a change, from our administration?

The issue here is not that the extensively documented, troubling allegations are “unsubstantiated.”

They are very true. The regents just don’t care.

Gina Stuessy (gstuessy@gmail.com) is a Madison resident who graduated from UW with a degree in biomedical engineering in 2008.

Humanities building functional, but could be much more Garth Beyer Guest Columnist Labyrinths piss off tomb raiders and, worst of all, the students at the University of Wisconsin who need to get to class.

The Mosse Humanities Building is what we have all come to know as the labyrinth on campus. Sure, the bridge connecting it to Vilas makes external navigation fairly easy, but what about the important

stuff — the classes, the teachers, the learning resources we’re paying for inside — how do we get to them?

Before my first semester at UW, I heard from friends and veteran students how difficult it is to find your classes in the Humanities building. And not just at first — these are seniors who are telling me they still get lost.

It was just my luck: the majority of my classes

were in the labyrinth.

Luck, indeed. I have no clue how it happened, but my first day I walked straight into my classes — no spinning, no retracing steps, no walking into the wrong class.

The same thing occurred the next day and the day after that, but the day after that one … No, I still found my classes-but I overheard some students talking about the possible destruction

and reconstruction of this labyrinth. Eavesdropping, I heard, “I believe they’re going to be knocking down Humanities to rebuild it in a way that we can find our classes easier.”

Do we need a new Humanities building, though? Students eventually find their classes. I found mine.

Maybe we won’t ever have the building’s blueprints etched in our minds, but is this a good enough reason to spend millions of dollars to replace Humanities? Why not advocate for digital walkthrough software, or better visual maps, or just giving students five extra minutes to find their class? Sounds like a money-saver to me.

Could it be that we simply love the idea of “new?” The students at UW (myself included) are obsessed with using the “squeaky wheel gets the grease method” — grassroots action — to get what we want. It’s not UW students only, it’s the attitude of the Generation Yers: shiny and new is immensely appealing. This raises some important questions: is advocating for something new in the best interest of the community as a whole?

Is the attitude of wanting top-of-the-line everything a good thing? What would a new Humanities building truly be saying to the public?

The re-creation and adaptation of Union South in 2011 is a prime example of a redevelopment

that is beneficial to the community, especially given the “green” motif behind its enhancements.

But to advocate for an entirely new Humanities to replace the one that is currently fulfilling all its duties and expectations seems — if I may be blunt — selfish.

In May, 2011, Isthmus reported, “UW-Madison’s Mosse Humanities Building is slated for demolition. Long live the Humanities Building!”

“We understand that the current humanities building is completely functional, but if you give the UW community a fresh slate ... I can’t even begin to imagine what we could create.”

I would like to note a comment on the article made by a graduate student at UW. “I went to lectures

by Mosse and Harvey Goldberg in the Humanities Building.

Later, as a member of the Madison community, I attended many concerts, visited gallery shows and performed on the Mills Auditorium stage.

I have several wonderful memories. Please tear down this [building] and replace it with functional

space for the arts and humanities!”

From his first two statements, it’s clear the Humanities building is already a functional space for the arts and humanities. Tell me again why we want to tear it down? I believe our campaign for the building’s demolition and reconstruction is more complex than simple functionality.

Could it be the real reason lies in the spirit of Madison’s community?

In the eyes and hearts of each one of us, UW is the greatest educational institution there is. Call it ego or call it pride, we are motivated to keep our status of “top.” Schools all around America are continuously renovating, expanding and innovating.

Could it be simply we don’t want to fall behind?

Or to view it in another light, we (the students) have an ultimate desire to be leaders, pioneers, the test group of “new.”

We understand that the current humanities building is completely functional, but if you give the UW community a completely fresh slate, a cleared ground for building, I can’t even begin to imagine what we could create. I do know, though, there are a hundred minds imagining something as they read this, ready and anxious to get to work. Will we let them?

by Jacob Summer ArtsEtc. Writer With over 300,000 apps and nearly endless possibilities available to iPad users, it can be tough to narrow down the best options when deciding what apps to download. Creative iPad owners can now utilize a relatively new market in iPad apps, which are now capable of seamlessly assisting artists by acting as outlets for creativity. iPad apps can help writers brainstorm, musicians record music and visual artists sketch out some of their ideas. Below are some apps that meet the basic criteria of being a “good app.” Apps that made the list had to be cheap (under $10), intuitive, easy to use and capable of accommodating artists in complex ways. Here are some cool apps that can bring out anyone’s inner Da Vinci!

I

GarageBand

For musicians seeking a quality recording experience at a decent price, GarageBand is the perfect app. It puts the power of a recording engineer in the hands of its users, allowing for easy maneuverability throughout its seamless interface. Now, these might not be “Top 40” quality recordings, but it works great for small projects and demos. Users can choose to record with pre-installed instruments that come with the app or the iPad’s builtin microphone. GarageBand even lets users plug in a guitar. After recording, users can add some cool sound filters, such as “echo” or

Color Thief

“large room.” GarageBand is well worth the price for its convenience and accessibility, making it a must have for musicians’ iPads.

Snapseed Snapseed is an easy-touse basic photo-editing app that can link up with Google, Facebook and Twitter accounts. The app’s intuitive interface makes it great for touchups and easily adding color filters. This app makes photo editing simple by allowing users to upload finished pictures to multiple websites straight from the app. It is also a great asset for photographers just getting started with editing.

Epicurious Recipes & Shopping Epicurious is a cooking app that boasts a database of over 100,000 recipes, all of which are taste tested

Paper by FiftyThree Paper is an easy-to-use app that simulates the experience of free drawing in virtual notebooks. Make basic sketches, paint a portrait or just doodle during a boring lecture--this app allows for pretty much anything that can be done on paper. The free version lets the user toy around with a paintbrush, but additional tools like pencils and pens costs a few extra bucks.

However, this app can help save money on real life art materials, which makes it worth paying for. This app can get anyone’s creative juices flowing, regardless of experience.

For fans of Instagram who love toying with pictures using color filters, this app takes photo editing to the next level. With Color Thief, the color scheme of any picture can be taken and transferred to another.

The concept behind the app is to create stunning visual color schemes with pictures. Color Thief creates visual imagery any artist can appreciate and apply to their own work. This app is a neat addition to the photo editor’s collection of tools.

OmniSketch This app allows users to make symmetrical shapes and patterns using a variety of line structures, which differentiates it from other drawing apps. Omnisketch uses algorithms to draw interesting patterns using its array of drawing tools and line schemes. The app might require time to master its functions, but it is well worth the commitment.

The concept of Omnisketch is to mesh artistic creativity with technology to make innovative designs and patterns. This app is a great choice for any artists

looking for new ways to express themselves.

and chef approved. The app allows users to search recipes by ingredient, course type or dish type. It guides users through the cooking process and can create recipe lists to go with a selected meal. Epicurious is a great aid for beginner cooks looking for easy directions for preparing all kinds of food. This app’s fun interface and handiness makes it well worth the download.

Dangerous storyline, romance divide ‘Safe Haven’ Movie adaptation of Nicholas Sparks novel suffers from split plot, poor acting Carley Eisenberg ArtsEtc. Writer A story of romance between a widower and a mysterious woman new to town is what many audience members might expect from the movie adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ book, “Safe Haven.” But this movie, well-timed for Valentine’s Day, is definitely not your typical love story.

The opening scene shows Julianne Hough, (“Footloose”) who plays Katie, frantically run down a street while she sobs. There

appears to be blood on her hand and she carries a small plastic bag. The scene ends abruptly as she pounds on someone’s door to let her in.

Suddenly, we see Katie at a bus station, where she now sports a new hairstyle and rushes onto a bus, clearly in fear of something.

Flash forward to days later, when troubled Katie lands in a small town in rural North Carolina.

She quickly meets Alex (Josh Duhamel, “Movie 43”), a widower with two children who runs a small convenience store. Right off the bat it’s clear that romance will blossom between the two strangers.

Since Katie experienced-or perhaps committed-some sort of heinous crime, she keeps to herself in her new town. She is a tough

nut for Alex to crack and young. These parts of the barely speaks to anyone in movie definitely yank at the the welcoming town. After heartstrings. Everything Alex drops off a bike at seems to be going smoothly Katie’s isolated new home, for the lovebirds, but as the her mask begins to crumple. opening scene suggested, Soon the laidback and there is a whole other friendly essence of the town storyline that explains washes over her and she Katie’s backstory.

Between gives in to Alex. the kisses Like most and romantic Sparks movies The combination gestures, the (“The Notebook,” of the two film flips to a “Dear John,” Boston Police “The Last Song”), storylines takes Detective, there are heavy away from the Tierney, (David make-out scenes, romance Sparks Lyons, TV’s scenes in the “Revolution”) rain, a kayak fans crave. who is obsessed date and longing with Katie. He glances between Katie and Alex. Katie bonds sends out a mass warrant with Alex’s children (Noah for Katie to police stations Lomax, “Playing for Keeps” across the country and and Mimi Kirkland), and claims she is guilty of magically becomes like murder in the first degree. the mother they lost so Tierney eventually learns

Katie is in North Carolina and sets out to find her.

What should have been the most dramatic scene between the lovers end up being a big build-up to nothing. One would think when Alex saw the warrant for Katie’s arrest for murder, he would go bananas.

Instead, after a bickering argument between the two, they reconcile within minutes without any explanation from Katie.

Not only is this unrealistic, but Hough’s amateur acting skills mixed with Duhamel’s lack of seriousness make it almost painful to watch as the two apologize to each other.

Although the suspense enhances the action in the film, the combination of two storylines takes away from the romance Sparks

fans crave. The moment the viewer feels connected to the romance between Katie and Alex, the film flips back to Tierney’s alcoholism and obsession with finding Katie.

“Safe Haven” is one of those movies where romance is expected, yet the viewer will leave feeling as if they got swindled. The suspenseful side story not only took away from the romantic plotline, but also made the viewer confused with what to focus on. All in all, the mediocre acting, half-baked plot and rapid ending in “Safe Haven” are predictable and a likely let down for diehard Sparks fans.

ASO to the individual who stole my wallet out of my coat pocket Thursday night. Shame on you; I hope to God that you are not a Badger. If you are, you should be stripped of your title. Yes, I admit I did leave it unattended on a chair, but that does not invite you throw it on the ground and take what is not yours. Fuck you and your loose morals.

Sports BUCKEYES, from 8 With the score knotted at 6-6, Brust faked a pass inside to a cutting Sam Dekker and pulled the string on a stepback three. On the following possession for Wisconsin, Brust did it again, this time in the face of Ohio State’s Lenzelle Smith Jr. Wisconsin continued its run with an old-fashioned three-point play by Berggren, as Ohio State’s Amir Williams overcommitted to the right to try to make a play on the ball. With the score 146, a media timeout gave Buckeyes head coach Thad Matta a much-needed break to converse with his players about how to stop their opponent’s run.

“We had some point blank layups that didn’t go in,” Matta said. “It’s hard to get great shots against Wisconsin. I saw the panic more on the defensive end. We shut down more defensively than we did on the offensive end.”

The Badgers were far from finished, as center Frank Kamnisky blew by his defender, Evan Ravenel, and penetrated the lane, kicking it out to Brust for another three-point basket, extending the lead to 18-6 in favor of the Badgers.

After a Dekker layup and Ryan Evans’ 15-foot jumper extended the lead to 22-6, Matta took a 30-second timeout. But, as if to definitely crush any

Buckeyes’ hopes of getting back into the game, Berggren swatted Thomas’ shot attempt in the lane.

Less than a minute later Berggren put an offensive exclamation mark on the run, taking a feed from a driving George Marshall under the basket for a onehanded slam, capping the 18-0 run.

“The way we opened up the game defensively, we weren’t even challenging shots,” Matta said. “We took the timeout and we were like, ‘What’s going on here?’

“We won’t forget this basketball game.”

The second half was no different, as a dunk from freshman standout Sam Dekker, who finished the

game with 13 points, and a put-back flush from Ryan Evans highlighted the game’s final 20 minutes. Wisconsin never allowed Ohio State to cut the deficit to less than 13 in that second half.

It was a signature moment for Evans, who finished the dunk off a missed Brust three, crashing the lane and throwing it down with one hand to ignite the Kohl Center.

It was the signature moment on a solid night from the Wisconsin forward, who finished with a nine-point, five-rebound performance. Evans was a game-time decision entering the game after missing Saturday’s team practice due to illness.

Thomas finished with 18 for Ohio State, leading all scorers. The 22-point loss was also the Buckeyes’ worst since losing to Wisconsin Dec. 31, 2009, at the Kohl Center by the same amount.

Ohio State dropped to fifth in the conference standings while Wisconsin leapfrogs into a tie for third with Michigan, trailing first place teams Indiana and Michigan State by two with five games remaining in conference play.

“I think every game is going to be a challenge no matter who it is,” Brust said.

“Any team can beat any team.

You have to take care of business with what you can control and the rest will play out your way.”

CLASSIC, from 8 slightly more disciplined and effectively killed the two power plays they did give the Gophers after giving up three power play goals Friday night.

Ramage, who was the only Badger to play in the chilly outdoor game at Camp Randall in 2010, felt the 3-2 win over the Gophers topped his prior experience.

“It was a great, great deal to be in Madison at Camp Randall,” Ramage said. “But I think for our team, this year playing at Soldier Field, playing against Minnesota … this definitely overtakes it.”

Sunday fun-day for Wisconsin

Kelsey Fenton The Badger Herald

Andy Fate The Badger Herald

Traevon Jackson (12) and Ryan Evans react to Jackson banking in a leaner with the shot clock expiring. Jackson finished the day with 10 points.

Wisconsin players swarm in celebration of senior defenseman John Ramage’s (55) second period goal. Nine different Badgers tallied a point in Sunday’s win.

Men’s basketball rides 52.7 percent shooting to erase Buckeyes, 71-49 Nick Korger Sports Editor Ohio State felt the bite from Wisconsin’s “Killer B’s” Sunday afternoon at the Kohl Center.

That is, the trio of Jared Berggren, Ben Brust and Mike Bruesewitz.

The Badgers’ post presence of Berggren, the three-point sharpshooting of Brust and the hustle of Bruesewitz proved too much for the Buckeyes to overcome, as Wisconsin (188, 9-4 Big Ten) used its best

shooting performance of the year to blow past No. 13/14 Ohio State (18-7, 8-5) 71-49.

“They didn’t change their intensity on defense,” Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan said. “The guys got good looks and they went down, we didn’t change anything.”

Bruesewitz made his presence known all night, battling inside for every rebound and dishing out four assists while scoring seven points as the Badgers scored 39 points in the first half, tied for the best total in any Big Ten game this season and shot 52.7 percent from the field against the Buckeyes, a season high.

Brust and Berggren each finished with 15 points to lead Wisconsin, while Brust gathered 11 rebounds, good

for his fifth double-double of the season and his first in conference play.

“We knocked down shots,” Bruesewitz said. “It was kind of a landslide effect, once a couple people knocked down shots.”

“Momentum is a big part of basketball,” fifth-year senior forward Ryan Evans said. “You can attribute a lot of credit to the fans. Just being in the Kohl Center, that really helps us in itself.”

Deshaun Thomas opened up the game with a jumper from the left corner to give OSU a 2-0 lead, but that would be the team’s only one of the game, as UW used a decisive 18-0 run over eight minutes to leave a look of shock on its opponent’s face.

BUCKEYES, page 6

Men’s hockey uses 3 2nd period goals to outst No. 2 Gophers 3-2 at Soldier Field Kelly Erickson Men’s Hockey Beat Writer CHICAGO — It took 30 shots on goal and 33:03 off the clock, but it was well worth the wait for the Wisconsin men’s hockey team.

At the 13:03 mark of the second period the Badgers found their way onto the scoreboard for a 1-0 lead — 3:19 later and they led 3-0. The three goals held strong as the No. 18 Badgers took the 3-2 win in the long anticipated Hockey City Classic over the No. 2 Minnesota Gophers.

After dropping game one in Madison 3-2 to Minnesota (20-6-4, 12-6-4), Wisconsin (13-10-8, 10-7-7) kept things simple on the rough ice conditions en route to victory.

“I was asked several times this week if we regret giving up a home game, the answer is still no,” Wisconsin head coach Mike Eaves said. “The experience we had today is a lifetime experience — that’s the tradeoff that we get.

“It’s not just another game in the second half of the season.”

Minnesota native Kevin Schulze was the first to strike for UW. With Wisconsin’s tenth shot on goal, the freshman defenseman found the back of the net on a long shot to give Wisconsin the 1-0 lead.

With few opportunities at this point — compared to Minnesota’s 20 shots on goal

at the time — the Badgers had already rung two pucks off the pipes of Adam Wilcox’s net.

But Wisconsin came away with the all-important first score.

“We knew the first goal would be critical in this game,” Gophers head coach Don Lucia said.

“After that first period that we had, we didn’t seem to be on our toes, we seemed to be on our heels a bit,” Eaves said. “Getting that goal gave us confidence.”

Wisconsin wasn’t done yet. Just over a minute later at the 14:13 mark, senior defenseman John Ramage threw the puck on net to make it 2-0. While Ramage — who was playing in the second outdoor game of his career — was credited with the goal, the puck was actually deflected in off Gopher defenseman Mike Reilly’s glove.

Before the teams headed into the second intermission, junior Sean Little scored his second goal of the season — and the fourth of his career — to round off the Badgers’ second period onslaught, cleaning up a rebound back door off a shot on net.

After a scoreless first, the Badgers suddenly held a commanding 3-0 lead.

“In the second period we threw literally everything that we had at him,” Ramage said. ”Shots from the corner, shots from anywhere on the ice. We happened to get a couple good bounces and things went in.”

Trailing at the start of the third period, Minnesota held an overwhelming 27-16 shot on goal advantage — but its offense couldn’t be held off too long.

Only 2:36 into the third,

the Gophers found their way on the score board as sophomore forward Seth Ambroz hacked away at the puck, eventually flipping it over Rumpel’s leg near the post.

In an eerily similar situation to Friday night where the Badgers skated for nearly three minutes with an empty net to end the game — an effort in which they did score an extra-man goal at the hands of junior Tyler Barnes — the Gophers pulled Wilcox for just over the final two minutes of the game.

The extra man worked to Minnesota’s favor, as junior forward Zach Budish cut Wisconsin’s lead 3-2 with 1:42 left on the clock.

When all was said and done — and a 3-2 win in the Hockey City Classic to their name — the Badgers only managed 19 shots on goal to the Gophers 38.

With 36 saves on the night, Wisconsin awarded Joel Rumpel — who made his second consecutive start against the Gophers — the game puck.

“His performance in the first period allowed us to get our feet underneath us,” Eaves said.

“Him and [goalie Landon Peterson] have been unbelievable for us all year,” Little said. “He stood on his head in the first and played a very solid game. I don’t think we take him for granted at all, we know how important he is to our team’s success.”

With emotions running high due to the setting and the fact the two had faced each other a mere 40 hours ago, several fights broke out between the rivals. But the Badgers were able to stay
