Fetch Reward app debuts at Fresh Market

By Megan Stoebig THE DAILY CARDINAL

Fetch Rewards, a Madisonbased application creator, launched its grocery shopping application Friday at Fresh Madison Market.

“It’s a new way of shopping ... we’re just here to help them.”

Tyler Kennedy vice president of operations Fetch Rewards

The smartphone mobile app allows customers to scan item barcodes in the store as they shop, and the application tracks the scanned items to keep a running price total.

Most of the people on the 12-person team who launched the app are UW-Madison students, former students or graduates.

CEO Wes Schroll said they have already added 600 users to the system in the past three and a half days. He added that the response has been successful, as there have been users who have come back two or three times to use the app.

“It’s crazy to see people with a smile on their faces when they’re in the middle of an aisle scanning their groceries,” UW-Madison senior and Vice President of Operations Tyler Kennedy said.

Kennedy added there have been some glitches, but the team has been at Fresh over the weekend to help with any problems.

“It’s a new way of shopping so people are a little confused about how it works and we’re just here to help them out,” he said.

The app also rewards customers who purchase items from certain brands Fetch Rewards has partnered with and connects them to coupons, Schroll said.

Fresh Market employee Katie Robertson said she thinks the store will definitely use the app in the near future, particularly because of how it helps during “rush-hour” times.

According to Kennedy, right now the team is working to make sure Fresh Market is successful with the app, but within the next few weeks the company will begin considering other grocery stores to partner with.

Former Nixon aide lectures on post-Watergate political landscape

By Jackie Bannon THE DAILY CARDINAL

John Dean, former presidential counsel to President Richard Nixon, expressed his outlook on the Watergate scandal Friday as part of the University of Wisconsin Law School’s 2013 Kastenmeier Lecture.

After serving as Nixon’s White House lawyer from July 1970 until April 1973, which included involvement in the

cover-up of the Watergate scandal, Dean worked as a private investment banker and is now a political author and speaker.

His lecture explored why numerous lawyers participated in illegal activities during Watergate and how this has affected political society today.

Dean focused on the long lasting effects of Watergate,

UW junior Matt Hanson creates production company

By Megan Stoebig THE DAILY CARDINAL

University of WisconsinMadison junior Matt Hanson, co-founder of Madisonbased company LowDrag Productions, helps bring artists’ talent to life by creating a variety of videos for them.

Hanson said he met fellow co-founder and UW-Madison junior Riley Gasiorowski shortly before he proposed the idea of making a record label, but the idea soon transpired into opening a production company. Since 2012, they have produced, filmed, edited and promoted videos for a variety of groups. They also provide a recording studio space for musicians to use.

“We wanted a business that any sort of artist or performer could come to and we could take care of all their needs in house,” Hanson said.

According to Hanson, they work with all types of genres and artists, from Milwaukee-based hip hop musicians and rappers to folk singers in Madison. He said he and Gasiorowski enjoy “broadening their horizons” to work with anyone they can.

The two also run a DJ service over the weekend, performing at various events such as house parties and bars wearing bow ties and suspenders.

Hanson said LowDrag got their “big break” from working on and promoting the Youtube video “Badger Style” last year, a Gangnam Style parody song.

Right now, the pair is working with Ballin on a Budget, a local group that organizes spring break trips. Soon they will be flying down to Mexico

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will join various campus groups Monday to speak and raise awareness about the exploitation of mineral mining workers in the Congo on the Memorial Union Terrace.

The rally is sponsored by the Conflict-Free Campus Initiative, which is a national group dedicated to pressuring universities to purchase electronics from companies that use conflict-free minerals to make products.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Amnesty International chapter sponsored a resolution through the Associated Students of Madison in Spring 2012 to support CFCI initiatives on Rodgers campus and to convince UW-Madison to only purchase electronics from companies that “responsibly mine minerals.”

Emmanuelle Chriqui, who played the character Sloan on “Entourage.” will also be attending the event.

The event is co-sponsored by the Wisconsin-Union Directorate, the Enough!

Project, UNICEF, Campus Women’s Center, Volunteers for Intercultural & Definitive Adventures and Globe Med. The event is free and open to the public. and will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Memorial Union Terrace.

Don’t be a-‘fray’-ed to tie up loose ends

Alex tucker sex columnist

Bondage basics

Dear Alex, My partner and I are looking to try some bondage. We’re both new to the idea and would love some beginner tips and tricks.

Thanks, Tirelessly Investigating Eroticism

H

ello, TIE! I’m glad you asked.

There are many ways to begin tying up our partners and lots of methods to do so.

Before we get down to the wire (get it?), let’s discuss safety.

1) Remember, we want to be using the most comfortable ropes possible. We’ll be safe with about 30 feet of cotton or nylon in our favorite color!

Safety

The most important rule of rope-tying is trust. We need to have confidence in our partners’ ability to understand when we want to push further and when we reach our limit.

Before beginning, we should establish a safe word—a word we can say at any point that will let our partners know we are done with the activity—that is unrelated to anything in the room so our intent when saying it will not be misinterpreted.

In addition to a safe word, partners should establish a checking-in system. Some folks use a “green, yellow and red light” method; others squeeze their partners’ arms according to how they feel during the sexplay. We need to figure out what works best for our partners and ourselves before engaging in any further action.

We also need to remember that body parts don’t like being tied up for more than about 30 minutes at a time. Bondage can be fun, but losing blood flow to an area for longer than a half an hour can be more dangerous than we bargain for. Safety first.

Finally, never ever leave a person alone once they’ve been tied up. Sessions should not last for too long, and keeping someone isolated without the ability to leave can lead to unforeseen complications or dangers.

Choosing your tools

Now that we’re ready to tie up our partners, we need a medium! There are tons of options, and below are just a few of the tools available.

One of the most popular ways to tie up our partners is using rope. The best kinds for bondage play are soft, smooth and avoid chafing or itching. Sex Out Loud recommends cotton or nylon, which are available in bulk at A Woman’s Touch or through a multitude of websites, including amazon.com.

Another exciting option is called bondage tape. It looks and feels like duct tape but only sticks to itself, avoiding hair and skin. It comes in many colors that can enhance the aesthetic of our playtime.

There are also devices that

2) After we’ve created the loop for our partner’s head, we should tie three more knots 6 inches to a foot apart to prep for the perfect harness.

3) The finished product: We should be secure and feel sexy in this harness that ties around our front and backsides. It can be positioned to highlight our pecs, boobies and especially our genitalia! graphics by chrystel paulson

wrap underneath a mattress and restrain a person’s arms and legs to each corner of the bed. Although this restraint makes for very easy “tying” (Velcro), it can seem less complex and exciting than ropes, but for some, the restraint is the most thrilling component, so we should make sure we know what we like before making any real investments.

Finally, we all know about those fluffy handcuffs in our favorite gag stores and online… videos, right? If we’re thinking about using ’cuffs, we should consider using cotton or leather ones instead of the metal and “fuzz” that can damage our skin.

Mastering the technique

If we do decide to use rope, here are some simple techniques for tying up a body.

When we want to restrain our partner’s hands, we can use about 8 feet of rope and ask them to keep their hands about 2 inches apart. We can wrap the rope around both of our partner’s hands, say horizontally, around five times. We should then coil the rope in between our partner’s hands, vertically, another five to keep their hands from moving.

Try to maintain the 2 inches of “wiggle room” so no scratching or circulation stoppage occurs.

With the remaining rope, we can tie our partners to a bed frame, a table or nothing at all.

If we want to tie up our partner’s whole body—heavy on the visuals, more lax on the restraints—we can use a 30-foot rope, doubled over and tied at 1-foot intervals for a few feet starting below the fold.

We can ask our partner to put

their head through the loop created at the top and bring the two loose ends from the front of their bodies, in between their legs, to the beginning of the rope at the back of their neck. We should hook the ends through the loop around our partner’s neck and bring the ends around yet again but this time pull the right end through one side of the ropes against the front of the body and the left end through the other side, pulling tight around the knot we created earlier.

We want to repeat this pro-

cess until we reach the genitalia of our partners, bringing the rope from the front two sides around to the back. If we do this correctly, we can hang our partners from the ceiling, tie them to a bed or just look at how pretty they are with all of those ropes highlighting their best body features.

Some people like using ropes better than pre-made bondage materials because tying is part of the thrill and anticipation.

Places to avoid tying—especially as a beginner—include around the neck and torso. Vital organs should not be squeezed and we should never be cutting off airflow. Once again, we need to communicate constantly with our partners to make sure their minds and bodies are comfortable with our actions.

Tying up a person can be complicated and frustrating; the rope may not make as pretty a design as we want or we may fail to connect all the loose ends.

If at first you do not succeed, tie.

Tie again. And YouTube.

If we are looking for complex rope-tying methods, we should just harness the web. Search YouTube for bondage and ropetying demonstrations—people upload relevant videos daily!

Remember, bondage is knot for everyone. We shouldn’t rope our partners into doing something they are not interested in.

Puns are funny, forcing people to engage in activities they do not consent to is not.

On the other hand, we should not restrain our own needs and desires. If our partners are uncomfortable trying something we are really into, we should try and find a compromise, whether it be opening up our relationship to others or indulging each other’s fantasies every now and then.

American Indian mascot bill turns controversial in hearing

State legislators unveil bills to combat rise in heroin use State representatives unveiled a series of bills Friday seeking to curb the rise in heroin use throughout the state.

The bills are designed to assist the state’s growing population of heroin abusers, whose medical treatment and associated crime cost the state billions, according to a press release from state Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, the bills’ main sponsor.

Nygren saw the dangers of heroin addiction first hand while helping his daughter recover from the drug.

The package of bills, known as Heroin Opiate Prevention and Education, is comprised of four individual bills designed to reduce the human and economic costs associated with heroin addiction, according to Nygren’s release.

HOPE is designed to reduce potential abuse by preventing improper disposal of illegal substances and requiring a photo ID to pick up prescription drugs

containing opiates, according to the statement. The bills would also provide limited immunity to those who alert emergency services of an overdose and would allow first responders to administer a drug designed to counter a heroin overdose.

State Rep. Dean Knudson, R-Hudson, one of the bill’s cosponsors, said in a statement he supported the bill as a way to educate the community about heroin abuse.

“We must recognize that the abuse of prescription drugs, which many of us have in our medicine cabinets, is a common gateway to heroin and opiate abuse,” Knudson said in the statement.

Nygren said the bills will also reduce the strain heroin abuse puts on local law enforcement.

The state Assembly will likely discuss the bills after they are formally introduced.

Man robs 19-year-old at gunpoint on Lathrop Street early Saturday Police are still searching for a man who robbed a 19-year-old man at gunpoint Saturday morning on Lathrop Street, according to a police report.

At approximately 12:30 a.m. the suspect pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded his belongings, according to the report. The victim ran from the scene after handing over his belongings. The

suspect also fled the scene.

The report describes the suspect as an approximately 6-foottall black man in his twenties, weighing 150 pounds.

Madison Police Department encourages students to be aware of their surroundings at all times and to walk in groups when walking in “less populated areas,” the report said.

State legislators, school district representatives and Wisconsin citizens met in the state Capitol Thursday to discuss an assembly bill that hits a contentious area in state law: how the state should address controversy over the use of American Indian mascots in schools.

The public hearing in front of the state Assembly Committee on Government Operations and State Licensing was designed to discuss the protocol for filing complaints over a school’s American Indian mascot, but much of the testimony discussed race relations within the state.

The bill and substitute amendment would change current law by only allowing a complaint to be official if it receives support from 10 percent of the adults in the specific school district. Previously,

watergate from page 1 more specifically, the influence on political ethics. He said the scandal resulted in many reforms within the legal profession, such as making the teaching of ethics mandatory in law schools and administering special ethics bar examinations.

He explained the aftermath of Watergate that still affects politics today is the relationship between the press and the president.

“The whole relationship between the press and presidency changed where presidents had the burden almost of proving that they weren’t doing anything wrong,” Dean said.

Dean also stressed the impact of incompetence as a reason why so many lawyers crossed the line of morality during Watergate.

“One of the things which is somewhat striking because of the level at which it happens, is arrogance toward the law, in other words, just not even caring about the law and thinking themselves above the law,” Dean said.

Dean mentioned that unwavering loyalty to Nixon was another reason people were involved in Watergate, meaning they knew it would benefit them to be on his side.

He finished the lecture by asking the audience “Why do people take risks?” He said ultimately, people take risks because people dislike losing much more than they like winning.

Finally, Dean argued the Watergate scandal reflects this idea because individuals were more apt to cover up their involvement than risk the possible consequences of withdrawing from scandal.

Ultimately, this is one of the reasons those involved in Watergate had a difficult time leaving the scandal.

Driver flees scene after striking electrical pole, causing minor power outage on West Gorham Street Saturday Madison Gas and Electric responded to an accident scene Saturday, after a vehicle struck an electrical pole on West Gorham Street.

Madison Fire Department spokesperson Lori Wirth confirmed the occupants fled before fire department person-

nel arrived.

Wirth said the incident occurred at approximately 11:20 p.m. at 116 W. Gorham St. No serious injuries were reported.

MG&E Corporate Communications Manager Margaret Collins said one customer was without power

from 11:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. as a result of the crash. “[Crews] put in a new pole…

The old pole is still in place and later this week we will come and replace that one,” Collins said.

Collins said she was unsure of the cost of the damage.

any individual in a school district could file a complaint.

State representatives who testified in support of the bill said the bill is necessary because the previous law put the burden of proof on the school districts instead of the complainants. They also said the bill would encourage school districts to reach out to Wisconsin tribes to discuss the use of American Indian mascots.

“This is something that does a very good job of representing both sides and maintaining due process,” said state Rep. David Craig, R-West Bend.

Mike Mikalsen, a spokesperson for state Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, said the bill is “a positive for all parties.”

Representatives from the Mukwonago School District, which uses the nickname “Indians” and

has been at the center of much of the mascot debate, testified in favor of the bill, saying it would be a welcome change to shift the burden of proof from the school districts to the complainants.

Arvina Martin, a member of the Ho Chunk tribe, and Brandon Stevens, an Oneida Nation council member, both testified near the end of the hearing and emphasized the fact that American Indian mascots are harmful and show a lack of respect to American Indians.

“In no way ever will a racebased mascot ever honor the Oneida nation,” Stevens said. “A mascot will never do us justice.”

The committee has only held a public hearing on the issue and will take a vote in an upcoming executive session.

Bill could allow universities in UW System to establish charter schools An amendment to a bill discussed in a Senate hearing Thursday could allow University of Wisconsin System universities to establish charter schools.

The bill would allow charter schools that receive high ratings for two years in a row from the Department of Public Instruction to bypass local school boards and create additional charter schools under the same or a new contract. Nine Assembly Republicans introduced the bill An amendment to the bill

offered by state Reps. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, and Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, would also make it possible for UW-System schools to establish charter schools in the county in which it is located or in an adjacent county. Technical college district boards would also have this ability.

In addition to local school boards, only UW-Milwaukee, UW-Parkside, the Milwaukee Area Technical College and the city of Milwaukee can currently establish charter schools.

Trip-hop, done in the style of Janet Jackson Sean Reichard “quip quo pro”

O

ct. 7, 1582: Because of the institution of the Gregorian Calendar, Oct. 7 is skipped in Italy, Spain, Poland and Portugal.

Oct. 7, 1763: George III issues the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which forbade colonists to settle past a line along the Appalachian Mountains.

Oct. 7, 1955: Allen Ginsberg performs “Howl” at the Six Gallery in San Francisco. “Howl” proves to be one of the most galvanizing poems ever written/performed.

Oct. 7, 1968: Thom Yorke of Radiohead is born.

Oct. 7, 1997: The Velvet Rope by Janet Jackson is released.

I have a friend who once described what Janet Jackson did with The Velvet Rope and why it’s one of his favorite albums: “Basically Janet accidentally made a trip-hop album and it’s good, yo.”

The veracity of that statement has been hitherto untested by me, for two reasons.

One, I don’t have a good idea of what trip-hop sounds like. Or what it should sound like. Sure, you’ve got Tricky and Massive Attack (Tricky’s old band) and Portishead regularly cropping up as trip-hop’s invested representatives, who I’ve sampled and who I’ve heard on the radio.

But I don’t get the aesthetic behind them, I guess.

Two, I don’t listen to Janet Jackson. In fact, the Jacksons’ oeuvre (Janet, Michael, Jermaine, Randy, etc.) have never cropped

up as “Must Listens” in my circle. Not even Thriller or Off the Wall. Most of it comes down to this point: I never needed to listen to them because everyone else already was listening in. You can’t talk “Greatest Albums” without bringing up Thriller or “Greatest Performers” without bringing up Michael.

Janet Jackson, of course, is pretty well ingrained in the cultural memory of anyone old enough to remember Super Bowl XXXVIII. Yeesh. But that’s a cheap (and irrelevant) reason to write her off.

So, having cleared the air, let’s get right into The Velvet Rope.

Since I still haven’t settled on a clear definition of triphop, let’s start there. In general, trip-hop places emphasis on bass and drums, with samples that eschew instruments like guitar and the aforementioned bass and drums in lieu of things like flutes and electric piano. “Cinematic,” as a general dark/ruminative feel, comes to mind.

The Velvet Rope certainly feels cinematic, but it’s more documentary than movie.

The accepted impetus behind the album is in documenting Jackson’s struggles with depression. In fact, of the 22 songs, seven are small sound bite “Interludes.” Are they autobiographical? Are they—explicitly—Janet Jackson coming through the music to make a personal statement?

It’s easy to assume the answer is yes. Some don’t cover depression, like “Interlude: Fasten Your Seatbelts” or “Interlude: Speaker Phone.” But the depressive ones are pretty clear cut.

1

Godspeed You! Black Emperor— “Sleep” A raucous little symphony that tricks you into ignoring it—until it explodes.

2

Take “Interlude: Memory” for instance: “You don’t have to hold onto the pain/To hold onto the memory.” Or “Interlude: Sad:” “There’s nothing more depressing/Than having everything and still feeling sad/We must learn to water our spiritual garden.”

Like any consummate performer, Jackson waters her garden through music. And what a garden it is! On the whole, it’s rhythm and blues and pop, with plenty of other genres thriving as well. Getting back to trip hop, “You” is my personal candidate for The Velvet Rope’s most explicit exercise in the matter.

“What About” veers between lagoonal guitar pop and dark funk rock. “Special” clocks out as a seven-minute homily on— what else—specialness.

By far my favorite moment on The Velvet Rope is “Got ‘Til It’s Gone.” The “Big Yellow Taxi” hook is indelible, plucked from its ecocritical context and fitted into a breakup one. The whole track is well produced. Q-Tip in particular is a national treasure.

“Joni Mitchell never lies” might be my new favorite line from any pop song ever.

I can say, before now, I would have been ill equipped to deal with The Velvet Rope. It hasn’t charmed its way into my list of favorites, but (favorably) it made me drop my guard.

Other albums released this day: Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie (2003), Dire Straits

by Dire Straits (1978), Full Circle

by Hieroglyphics (2003).

Many of us may not be familiar with Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser, the two New York City natives who make up Holy Ghost!, a synthpop duo with heavy disco and funk influences. The boys have been working together under various group names since the early 2000s and are now known for creating catchy ’70s and ’80s club tunes. The duo recently released their second album, Dynamics.

The group’s single “Dumb Disco Ideas,” released in May of this year, is clearly one of the album’s strong points. At around eight minutes long, the track serves as a solid indie electropop summer anthem.

It’s length alone makes the song an ambitious endeavor and it’s one the duo pulls off quite well with varia-

tions in the ’80s-inspired synthpop melody mixed with lighthearted lyrics (“Put it off, and off, and wait, and wait for another day/Put it off if it’s for another day!”) Some of the other strengths of the album are “It Must Be The Weather,” a depressing take on the ’80s pop ballad, as well as the more optimistic and groovy jam “Dance A Little Closer.” But the other eight tracks have little to offer. The album ends on a low point with “Cheap Shots,” a track that feels overdone.

The eclectic music clashes with the song’s upbeat lyrics to make it a bit harsh on the ears.

For any listeners familiar with the group’s self-titled debut album from 2011, Dynamics might be a bit of a disappointment. It’s songs feel less lively and sharp when compared with 2011 tracks like “Do It Again” or “Hold On.” Although the album has two or three catchy songs, there’s nothing revolutionary to be heard here. With growing competition in the electropop industry, Holy Ghost! should look to step up their game in the future.

DARKSIDE’s ‘Psychic’ is a blissful, manic adventure

Psychic DARKSIDE

By Kat Corbo The Daily Cardinal

Psychic by DARKSIDE takes you on a mystical journey through time and space. I never had been one to enjoy music without lyrics, but this album has a way of sucking you in and slowing you down, making you forget about what you once thought music should be.

The entire album feels like it tells a story, from start to finish. By beginning slow and dark, picking up the pace and bringing you to the edge with harder and faster beats—building until it hits its peak and then finally taking you back down again into its eerie depth—the album feels like a perfect cycle of birth, life and death.

The most impressive part is that Psychic not only tells this cyclic story as a whole, but it also tells a miniature story just the same inside each song. DARKSIDE also used instruments and sounds in this album that I’ve never heard before, like liquid jazz guitar and space-radio crackle, but at the same time utilized common instruments in completely new

ways to give them new sounds and feels.

I was wary when I first began listening and heard no lyrics because I’m not the type of person who can listen to an entire album of just instrumentals. However, after the first song, the album unwound me and mellowed me out, making me feel like I was floating through space with nothing but the dark, thick sounds encompassing me like a warm, heavy blanket on a cold winter night. I slowly started to chill out from my hectic day, and I could feel my body and mind relaxing as the songs continued.

Just as I got used to the wordless, haunting album and began to sink into the horse hoof-like drum beat of the third song, “Heart,” a soft, haunting voice came over the background like a mysterious ghost and blindsided me. As quickly as it came it disappeared, and then continued to fade in and out over the rest of the song and the next.

A filmgoer’s guide to Madison theaters

By Kailee Andrews The Daily Cardinal

No one who has lived in the city of Madison would deny that we reside in a vibrant place, brimming with activities for students. Madison is home to restaurants featuring food from more countries than the average American is probably aware of, scenic lakes and parks, a state of the art arts center, a thriving farmer’s market and more indie bookstores and coffee shops than you can shake a scarf at.

Yet, upon arriving on campus, the observant movie lover might notice that something is missing. Downtown Madison lacks the gargantuan movie multiplex that is standard in most cities and suburbs. This might leave new students wondering “Where do I go to get my ‘Hunger Games’ or ‘Hobbit’ fix? And what kind of films are available on campus anyway?”

Well, never fear my friends, because there are plenty of spectacular film options both on and off campus that can suit the most varied of tastes. From classics to recent Hollywood hits, from foreign films to the latest

indie darlings, I’ll give you the low down and the fantastic film locales in Madison and where to find them.

The Marquee The most obvious and convenient choice for students, The Marquee theater is a free, student-run theater located on the second floor of Union South.

It features a vast array of programming including recent Hollywood blockbusters, independent films and documentaries fresh off the festival circuit, and even cult classics (The glorious disaster that is “The Room” plays every year).

The Marquee also collaborates with local film festivals, including the Wisconsin Film Festival (which every student should check out at least once), and programs it’s own festival each year, REEL Love, focusing on LGBT relationships and issues. WUDFilm, the student organization in charge of the theater is open for any student to join.

The Marquee is an exemplary and impressively active student theater, averaging one film nearly every weeknight and two or three per night on weekends.

It is an incredible resource that should be taken advantage by all students.

The Cinematheque This university-affiliated theater is what you’d probably call our resident artsy-fartsy cinema. Committed to bringing rare and under the radar films to the community, the Cinematheque is perfect for anyone looking to expand their filmic horizons with foreign classics, experimental masterpieces, up and coming indie selections, and even the occasional Hollywood classic. But don’t let the obscure selection turn you off, the Cinematheque offers a variety of series that appeal even to more mainstream tastes.

For instance, last year their run of acclaimed Studio Ghibli classics often packed the house with popular films such as “Spirited Away” and “Howl’s Moving Castle.” And this year their program includes series exploring everything from international horror classics and Werner Herzog masterworks to new indie releases. Based in Vilas Hall and with some films playing at

the Chazen Museum and the Marquee, the Cinematheque is a great option for students and residents, especially those looking to explore film history, international film and experimental film.

Never fear my friends, because there are plenty of spectacular film options both on and off campus that can suit the most varied of tastes.

Sundance Cinemas at Hilldale Though it’s only a 15 minute bus ride away, most students don’t realize what an exceptional movie theater we have near our campus. Sundance Cinemas is a theater affiliated with the renowned Sundance Film Festival and brings outstanding independent films and documentaries to Madison.

It is one of only six of its kind in the country and it often features selections from Sundance and other festivals that do not receive widespread theatrical release elsewhere. Though it is

on the pricey side, the quality of the films it screens often makes it worth the high cos of admission. Also, Sundance balances out its independent programming with Hollywood blockbusters, making it the most convenient off-campus theater destination for students looking to see new independent and Hollywood releases but relying on public transportation.

But, If you’re really looking to replicate the typical megaplex experience or see the latest hit during its theatrical release, you’ll have to head off-campus to either a Marcus Theater, the AMC Star or Market Square.

The newly refurbished Marcus Point Cinemas is the closest to campus, averaging about a 40 minute bus ride, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from a suburban theater, playing all the big hits with ticket prices averaging around $10. AMC is similar and Market Square is the local discount theater.

On the whole, though the absence of a typical movie theater on campus may seem unfortunate, there are plenty of venues that more than fill that gap, making Madison a fine place to be a film geek.

Despite the flawed writing, ‘Gravity’ still pulls its weight FILM REVIEW

“Gravity” Directed by Alfonso Cuaron

By Kailee Andrews The Daily Cardinal

By the time the opening shot of “Gravity’” appeared on the screen I already knew that I’d made a terrible mistake. Being a typical, vehicle-lacking college student I decided to see the film at Sundance cinemas to avoid the hour-long bus odyssey needed to get to an IMAX screen.

Unfortunately, Sundance was only screening the film in 2D. It seemed like the logical choice at the time, but I now see the error of my ways.

I totally repent to director Alfonso Cuaron for not seeing his masterwork of digital imagery on a screen that could do it justice.

“Gravity” is a film that demands to be seen and heard to the fullest extent possible. It was created to be an immersive sensory experience and by seeing it in any form but 3-D you’re depriving yourself of some of the most absorbing visual escapades in recent memory. And as a disclaimer, I’m not generally a huge advocate of 3-D, since about 95 percent of the time it’s just a blatantly obvious gimmick to raise already inflated ticket prices. Yet, in this case, it’s truly integral to the look and feel of the movie.

“Gravity,” for anyone not in the know, is the tale of two astronauts,

seasoned pro Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) and specialist Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), who is on her first mission. While out on a routine maintenance spacewalk they are informed

by Houston that debris from a Russian satellite has set off a chain reaction of destruction in Earth’s orbit. And Houston, do we ever have a problem because the debris field is now hurtling toward Kowalski and Stone at blistering speeds, fast enough to rend shuttles apart and tear through the human body in seconds.

When Stone and Kowalski’s ship, The Explorer, is damaged beyond usability, the two must tie themselves together and attempt to reach safety before the debris field returns. Now, before I wax poetic about how astoundingly gorgeous the film’s rendering of space is and the mastery of their simulation of zero gravity, I’d like to devote a moment to Bullock and Clooney.

Clooney’s Kowalski is a joker, regaling Dr. Stone and the team back in Houston with amusing anecdotes and bringing charm and normalcy to the abyss of the universe. Perfectly at ease in outer space, Clooney is the guiding hand for Dr. Stone during the crisis and he plays the role well. Yet, Kowalski sometimes seems overly calm, collected and self-sacrificing in the face of likely death. A bit more human frailty and fear written into the character could have increased his realism and appeal.

But enough on Clooney because, of the two, Sandra Bullock’s character is the emotional centerpiece of the film and, a la Ellen Ripley in “Alien,” she has to carry much of the narrative on her own. Bullock puts in a strong turn as Dr. Stone, communicating the breathless disorientation and terror of her situation admirably.

Stone was left emotionally scarred and detached from life by a personal tragedy and much of “Gravity” is devoted to the rebirth of her desire to live. Bullock’s performance is helped by some excellent point of view camerawork as she clambers over and through wrecked spacecraft, searching for a way back to Earth, but also suffers some eye-roll inducing dialogue.

For instance, gems like “No one ever taught me how to pray” and “Either way, it’ll be a hell of a ride” near the climax of the film were pretty groan-worthy, but Bullock commits and does her best with them.

Still, in the end the true star of this film is the gorgeously rendered vista of the galaxy and the camera that careens through it in the incredibly long takes for which director Alfonso Cuaron has always been recognized. The effect is involving and exhilarating, placing you firmly in the film’s universe. And while the characters and script don’t match the richness of the visuals, the tribute it makes to the human spirit—as well as the thematic parallels to the struggle for the origin of life in a harsh universe—give the film emotional heft and an inspirational quality.

While I’m not sure the film will become an instant classic they way many are predicting, it is without a doubt a landmark achievement in cinema that restores a sense of awe and wonder to the medium, a quality that few other recent visual effects extravaganzas capture. Rather than taking us to an imagined digital wonderland like “Avatar,” it painstakingly imitates the wonders and terrors of our own universe, reminding us of the strength and resilience of life and simultaneously revealing its inherent unlikeliness and fragility.

Awareness of domestic abuse is crucial

By Kari Hajduk Pave Communications coordinator

While October is a busy month for most students on campus with midterms approaching and football games in full swing, it is an even busier month for Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment.

PAVE is a student-run organization dedicated to ending sexual assault, dating/domestic violence and stalking through education and activism. This month is very significant to PAVE’s work because October has been nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month since 1987 to increase public awareness and spur action to end domestic violence. PAVE’s work to end domestic violence (or intimate partner violence) on the University of WisconsinMadison campus culminates in October. Many students, however, think that dating violence is not an issue that is relevant to their lives. However, statistics from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence show that one in four women will expe-

rience domestic violence in their lifetime and women aged 20-24 years are at the highest risk.

It is important to note that it is possible for anyone, regardless of sex, gender, race, class, sexual orientation, dis/ability, etc., to be affected by domestic violence. It is for this reason that PAVE and many other organizations offer a very broad definition of intimate partner violence. It is an ongoing pattern of behavior in a relationship where one person exerts power and control over the other. The term “intimate partner violence” is also more inclusive of the different relationships students in a college envi-

It is also important to remember physical violence is not the

only form of abuse. Emotional, verbal or sexual abuse can occur as well, and also have long lasting effects on the victim or survivor.

The psychological effects of intimate partner violence are incredibly hard to expunge. In addition to worrying about all of the stresses of school, those experiencing intimate partner violence experience fear and blame, and many other distressing emotions.

Next time you are sitting in class, look around. Think about how many of your fellow Badgers may be survivors of (or are currently involved in) an abusive relationship.

While this is scary to think about, it is also why PAVE is so dedicated to this cause.

If you are concerned that you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, the following behaviors can be red flags: intimidation, destroying property, name calling, mind games, isolation from other friends, extreme jealousy, denial or minimizing of the abuse, controlling money, making all the decisions or coercion. Abuse can look very different in different

kinds of relationships.

PAVE believes that everyone should be aware of intimate partner violence and also know about the resources available to survivors and friends of survivors here in Madison. We hope that everyone knows that it is okay to ask for help in these kinds of situations and that we can all work toward creating a safer community for survivors of

The term “intimate partner violence” is also more inclusive of the different relationships students in a college environment may identify with. abuse.

In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, join PAVE and other ally organizations on campus Monday, Oct. 7 from 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. at East Campus Mall as we aim to create a campus free from intimate partner violence. PAVE will be passing out pledges you can sign to

show your support of survivors of intimate partner violence and of healthy relationships as well.

You can also get involved with PAVE Tuesday, Oct. 22, as Dr. Josie Lehrer, creator of the Men’s Story Project, will join us for an interactive discussion exploring the ways for men to get involved in ending intimate partner violence.

If you think you or a friend might need help, you can call the Rape Crisis Center at 608251-7273 or Domestic Abuse Intervention Services at 608251-4445. University Health Services (608-265-5600) and the UW Police Department (608-264-2677) are also great resources for students looking for help.

What do you think is another good way to work together toward the end of domestic violence on University of WisconsinMadison’s campus? Have you ever known somebody affected by this type of domestic or sexual violence? Please send all feedback to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Moral judgments must be made in business practices

By Jill Gabrielle Klein Professor, University of Melbourne

I teach moral judgment at Melbourne Business School in Australia. The audiences I address range from MBA students to C-suite executives. Every time I present, no matter who is in the audience, there is one moment when I have the complete attention of everyone in the room. It is when I tell the story of what happened to my father when he was a 16-yearold concentration camp prisoner under the Third Reich in the late summer of 1944.

My father was a slave laborer working on a railroad construction site. He spent most of his long days carrying heavy steel rails up a hill, over and over again. After several months in the labor camp he started to doubt that he had the strength to keep going, fearing instead that he would perish along with the so many others he had known.

One early morning during roll call an SS sergeant walked up to my father’s section and yelled, “Which one of you young inmates speaks German?” Acting solely on instinct, my father raised his hand into the air. He followed the officer, and saw a man waiting for him in a long leather coat.

My father panicked. “What have I gotten myself into?” he wondered. The man had the dark and neatly dressed look of a Gesta­po officer and my father was sure he had made a very bad decision.

But then the man introduced himself. My father was stunned. He had been nothing but a number for months. No German had ever bothered with the basic decency of an introduction. The man explained that he was a civilian engineer who needed an assistant for his work.

His job was to conduct a survey for a new road through the forest, so

he needed someone to help carry the equipment. My father immediately understood that this job would be much easier than carrying steel rails. They headed off into the forest to begin their work.

Did he, I wonder, know that he had done something of great moral significance?

And did he, in the end, feel that he had made choices to be proud of?

As they walked side-by-side through the forest on their second afternoon of work, the engineer said to my father, “I can see what a horrible situation you are in and I want to do something to help you.”

He went on to explain that while he couldn’t assist him openly, he could obtain some food for him.

He told my father that there was a barracks in the woods where he ate his lunch with the SS officers. He had hidden some food in a corner, under a bench, knowing that the building would be empty at the end of the day.

Toward evening, as they neared the perimeter of the camp, the engineer pointed to the barracks. My father hurried to the far corner of the dark building. As promised, under the bench he found foods he had not seen in months. This included chicken, rice and milk. He drank the milk, took some quick bites of the food and put the rest in his pock­ets to share with his friends in the camp.

For the two extraordinary weeks that he worked with the engineer, my father supplemented his daily intake of stale bread and putrid watery soup with food stolen from the SS kitchen. As the days passed, he grew sturdier. The boost to his well being was more than physical.

The fact this German cared enough to take great personal risk to feed him restored some of my father’s faith in human beings. Indeed, my father credits the engineer with saving his life.

As everyone in the audience is sitting there wondering whether they would have been as brave and compassionate as that man had been, I state a critical point: The engineer was making a moral judgment about how to treat his labor.

It is unlikely that any of us will ever be faced with such a stark lifeor-death decision—remember the engineer’s generosity and courage could easily have cost him his life.

Yet executives often make choices that help or harm others in significant ways. For example, when trade-offs are made regarding worker safety or when decisions are made concerning health care insurance for employees, lives are on the line. And sometimes, under the pressure to make our quarterly numbers or to get a task completed on time, compromises are made and corners are cut.

Bad moral judgments are commonly due to our tendency to frame problems too narrowly. Often our boss or our board provides this framing for us, which is extremely damaging for us. When facing moral decisions, narrow frames are dangerous. Instead, we should widen the frame by asking how our decisions will affect the business and its reputation in the long term.

Consider how our choices will affect our sense of ourselves as ethical people and as role models.

I often wonder about the final days of the civilian engineer. As he took stock of his life—the deeds he had done and the choices he had made—was he consoled by the knowledge that he had once shown such generosity to a young and

Graphic by Chrystel Paulson

desperate boy? Did he, I wonder, know that he had done something of great moral significance? Did he perhaps fear that he had not done enough? And did he, in the end, feel that he had made choices to be proud of?

We are unlikely to ever ask ourselves a more significant question than that last one. When we face real moral quandaries, we should look for the broadest of frames, and there is perhaps no larger frame than wondering how we will judge ourselves as we near

the end of our lives. So when the pressures of business are pushing you toward an ethical misstep, try to remember the engineer who did his job with such extraordinary moral courage. If he could risk his life for my father, then we can overcome the constraints of tight budgets, quarterly pressures and demanding work place colleagues.

Wisconsin wins overtime thriller at home against Ohio State

By Christopher Bates The Daily Cardinal

Coming off a tough loss to No. 8 Penn State Friday, the Wisconsin women’s soccer team (3-1-1 Big Ten, 8-2-2 overall) was able to turn the tides against Ohio State University (1-2-1, 7-3-2) in a 1-0 overtime thriller Sunday afternoon at the McClimon Soccer Complex.

Penn State was the first Big Ten loss of the season for the Badgers, but head coach Paula Wilkins knew they had to put the loss behind them and focus on the task at hand.

“One of the biggest things about the Big Ten is that you can have two games on a Friday and Sunday and they can be quite emotional and physical,” Wilkins said. “We had to make sure that we put that game in the past and that we focus on Ohio State because that was going to be the next important game.”

The game proved to be a tale of two halves.

The first half was strongly controlled by the Ohio State’s offense, notching five shots and five corner kicks throughout, but OSU was unable to find the back of the net thanks to the strong play of redshirt junior goalkeeper Genevieve Richard.

Richard ended the game with a stunning six saves, one shy of her career-high. Coach Wilkins praised the keeper’s play, saying she had arguably the biggest impact out of any one player.

“I think Genevieve by far was very good at what she did,” Wilkins said. “She came up with some very key saves to keep us in the game.”

The Badgers came out strong after the break, push-

ing the pace and playing with noticeably more energy, though the game remained scoreless at the end of regulation.

Wisconsin was able to carry the momentum from the second half into overtime They dominated the extra period, constantly applying pressure on the Buckeye goal with the same intensity they had been channelling througout the contest.

Though the game was scoreless going into overtime Wilkins knew the Badgers had to keep doing the same things they were already doing all game.

“Overtime is generally won by players who want it a little bit more, but we needed to keep playing, we didn’t want to just whack things in the box and make sure we kept playing and defending well together,” Wilkins said.

Junior forward Nikki Greenhalgh was able to finally put the ball in the back of the net for Wisconsin, scoring in the 97th minute off an assist from senior midfielder Alev Kelter.

“It was pretty magical, I think. I’m kind of on cloud nine right now because of that goal,” Greenhalgh said. “We were fighting hard all game and it’s good to come out with a win.”

Coach Wilkins views each game as a building block for her team.

“Every game we’ve learned from,” Wilkins said. “They add character, they add different circumstances that we have to deal with and from different players. I’m encouraged and I think we have a much-needed physical break, we haven’t had a break yet in the season.”

Saturday, the No. 23 Badger volleyball team traveled to Lincoln, Neb. for a Big Ten showdown against No. 10 Nebraska.

After losing the first two sets, the Badgers (3-1 Big Ten, 14-2 overall) rallied back to push the game to a deciding fifth set, but couldn’t finish off the Cornhuskers (4-0, 11-2).

In a match with four sets determined by three points or less, execution under pressure was key to winning.

In the first set, Wisconsin took a quick 10-7 lead, but Nebraska came back to win the set 25-23.

The key to the first set was Nebraska out-blocking the Badgers 6.5-1. UW went down 19-14 early in the second set, but stuck around, pushing Nebraska to a 26-24 win.

Wisconsin hit well in the second set with a .324 attack percentage, but eight kills by Nebraska’s two time All-American senior Kelsey Robinson were too much for them to handle.

After losing two close ones, the tide turned in the third set for the Badgers, who won 25-22.

UW had to come back for a close win, with seven ties and three lead changes occurring in the set.

The Badgers 32-30 fourth-set win made the third set look like a blowout, with 20 ties and seven lead changes, posting the second most points in the rally-scoring era of the

program’s history.

Unlike the first set, Wisconsin out-blocked the Cornuskers, including a key set-wining block by junior Ellen Chapman.

The Badgers offense sputtered in the final set, hitting a negative .120 as Nebraska won 15-6.

Again, the Cornhuskers outblocked the Badgers, this time 4-0.

Despite the loss, there were bright spots for the Badgers, including a career-high 10 blocks for freshman middle blocker Haleigh Nelson.

Two double-doubles were also recorded by junior outside hitter Deme Morales and freshman setter Lauren Carlini.

Wisconsin has two road games this week, both against ranked teams.

The Badgers head out for a Friday matchup at No. 12 Ohio State and a Saturday game at No. 5 Penn State.

2011 NBA lockout possibly at fault for increase in ACL tears Brett Bachman ready, brett, go It has been 17 months since Chicago Bulls’ guard Derrick Rose last took to the court after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during a 2012 playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

To be exact, he has been out for 526 days. That’s a long time by today’s standards. Hell, that’s a long time by any standards.

Saturday the Bulls’ superstar took to the hardwood for the first time since the injury, scoring 13 points in a little over 20 minutes.

Tearing an ACL while playing sports at an elite level is not uncommon, but what made this particular injury interesting is that it was one of many recent basketball-related knee injuries.

ACL tears are quite common in the brutal ranks of the NFL, but have only reached notoriety on the hardwood quite recently.

Before the 2011-’12 season the last time an active all-star went down with an ACL tear in the NBA was Danny Manning in 1995.

That’s almost 20 years ago.

Ricky Rubio tore his ACL a month before Rose, and two other NBA players went down with the same injury that April.

Last season there were five total ACL tears in the NBA, with Rajon Rondo being the most notable name on the list.

That makes nine ACL tears in the last two seasons. What changed in the game of basketball that might have caused this large spike?

Many people point to the way the game is progressing. Bigger, faster, more athletic men mean more aggressive cuts and, therefore, more stress on the knees.

Tearing an ACL is as violent an

injury as you’ll ever see, and the lateral movement that the modern game of basketball requires puts every player at risk of knee injury.

This is a large part of the equation, yes, but not all of it.

Another event that may or may not have an impact on the number of recent injuries is the 2011 lockout.

Think about it—abandoning the season was probable, meaning players probably failed to prepare for the year in typical fashion.

The lockout also meant less offseason time with expert team trainers who know the specific demands of basketball on the body, and a six-month, 66-game schedule only exacerbated the problems presented by unconditioned bodies.

ACL injuries occur when the stabilizing actors of the knee, namely the illiotibial band and the biceps femoris, get fatigued or weak, or when there is a strength imbalance between the vastus medialis and the vastus lateralis muscles, which stabilize as well as rotate the knee.

The reason the recent football lockout wouldn’t cause a similar spike is the different energy demands football and basketball present to the muscles.

In football, players get time between plays to rest, allowing the body to use its preferred fuel, creatine phosphate, to make powerful movements, including stabilization under violent conditions. It also is easier to maintain these muscles during a football season in which there are weeks between games.

Basketball is constant movement, meaning the body has to resort to using carbohydrate and fat to fuel movements. This means muscles, especially stabilizers that are under constant stress, run a much higher risk of fatigue.

Basketball seasons also cram many games into a shorter amount of time, meaning muscles get broken down drastically over the

course of a year.

When we think about preparation for elite-level athletics it is one thing to be able to sprint for long periods of time and jump high, and it is another entirely to strengthen all the little muscles, tendons and ligaments in your legs whose only job is to hold everything in place under extreme energy demands.

That’s also why the offseason in any sport is important. People tell me all the time that year-round seasons would be a good idea.

That’s a horrible suggestion.

Athletics require time to rebuild the body’s parts that get worn down over the course of a season, namely the stabilizing structures that keep joints from popping out of socket and limbs moving in their proper planes of motion.

Bodies, more than anything, require time to build lean mass.

A single offseason to correct essentially two seasons’ worth of muscle breakdown might not have been enough for the NBA. That could explain why the trend can be seen past the 2012-’13 post-lockout season.

All this is pure speculation of course, and the progression of the game is only going to continue, meaning more stress on knee joints and more injuries. That much is practically indisputable.

It would be wrong to say that ACL tears will ever disappear from basketball, but hopefully with months of conscious preparation they will cease to plague the NBA this season and into the future.
