The University of Wisconsin-Madisonâ??s patenting arm won an appeal Tuesday in federal court against Canadian drug company Xenon.
The lawsuit brought by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation dealt with how Xenon handled patent rights to an enzyme that can lower cholesterol levels in the human body.
Researchers at the university discovered the enzyme in 1999 and two years later the research foundation licensed the technology to Xenon, which partially sponsored the work. The foundation gave Xenon an exclusive license to commercialize the discovery and market any resulting products in exchange for a share of the profits.

UW prof pens book about rise of Latino stars in Hollywood
In the past, if a Latino movie star wanted some press attention, they had to â??act Latin.â? Rita Moreno, who starred in â??West Side Storyâ? and later on the PBS show â??The Electric Company,â? found that out early in her career, according to UW-Madison professor of media and cultural studies Mary Beltran.
â??She was always cast as somebody fiery, not a really well-developed character,â? said Beltran, whose new book, â??Latino/a Stars in U.S. Eyes,â? (University of Illinois Press) attempts to chart the growth and evolution of the Latino presence in Hollywood in the last half-century.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is ranked as one of the best values in public education according to Kiplingerâ??s Personal Finance.
For in-state students, UW-Madison ranked 14th on the websiteâ??s list of the “100 Best Values in Public Colleges for 2010.” It is the highest-ranked Big Ten Conference institution.
UW-Madison is ranked 15th for out-of-state students.
This is probably good news for current UW-Madison students. But in the future, donâ??t be stunned if rankings like these are used by cash-strapped administrators to argue that tuition at Wisconsinâ??s flagship university is too low.

University of Wisconsin-Madison student Shanica Adkins, 21, was killed Thursday when the Geo Prizm driven by her high school sweetheart, Donta Brown, was struck by an SUV that ran a red light at N.

Study highlights effect of evictions on poor
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The study found that one renter-occupied household in 20 is evicted each year in Milwaukee. In neighborhoods where blacks are the majority, the study found that number jumps to one in 10 renter-occupied households evicted every year.
The study was undertaken by Matt Desmond, a doctoral student in sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He analyzed court records and a did a yearâ??s worth of field work that included living in a south side trailer park and in a rooming house on the cityâ??s north side.
During his research, Desmond spent time with tenants fighting evictions and packing their belongings. He also spent time with landlords to get their side of the eviction story.
“This is a unique study because thereâ??s a lot of information about foreclosures, but not much on evictions,” said Timothy Smeeding, director of the Institute for Research on Poverty and a professor in UW-Madisonâ??s La Follette School of Public Affairs.

Sen. Grothman to introduce Madison snow removal bill
WKOW-TV 27
MADISON — West Bend Republican Senator Glenn Grothman says he plans to introduce legislation that would give the Wisconsin Department of Transportation the authority to set salting and snow removal standards for the City of Madisonâ??s main arterials. Under the proposed bill, all other cities, villages, and towns around the state will continue to set their own standards.
Grothman says that while the snowstorm that walloped Madison on December 9 and 10 was unique, the road conditions in Madison were not. In his experience, when roads within Madison city limits are impassible, roads outside of Madison and in other communities are not. He says that since only a small percentage of Madison streets are main arterials, the extreme aversion to using salt should stop.
“The State of Wisconsin has chosen Madison as its State Capitol and home to its largest university. It is the responsibility of the City to maintain its roads in winter — something they’ve shown they cannot do,” said Grothman.
Health care 2009: The little state that could

Itâ??s been quite a year for health care. Once the province of policy wonks and hypochondriacs, in 2009 even Joe the Plumber has gotten involved in the intricate details of reform and practice. Most of our top picks this year are stories about health care coverage, not the traditional tales of illness or medical breakthroughs. Thatâ??s because in 2009 the spotlight is focused not on the diseases that threaten peopleâ??s health but on the broken system that makes it tough to treat them.

UW researchers: Omega-3s may prevent Postpartum Depression
WKOW-TV 27
MADISON (WKOW) — Some pregnant women see the joy of childbirth fade into weeks or months of negative attitudes that can have a negative impact on her relationships with her newborn and partner.
In fact, according to Dr. Roseanne Clark, up to 80 percent of women suffer from whatâ??s called “postpartum blues.” Those “blues” are caused by a lack of sleep, changes in hormone levels and other factors.
If the problem lasts for longer than two weeks, the mother could actually be suffering from postpartum depression, which requires an evaluation by a mental health professional.
(Clark is a psychologist and associate professor of psychiatry at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health)
Domestic partner benefits can be too pricey for some state workers
Wisconsin State Journal
State Corrections Sgt. Rachael Merry was looking forward to signing her partner and the womanâ??s daughter up for health insurance under a new provision for state workers that takes effect Friday. But the modest premiums and the significant federal taxes on the domestic partner benefit appear to make insuring the pair more expensive than Merry anticipated — as much as $4,500 a year, sheâ??s estimated.
“We thought, â??Now we can finally get family insurance like the rest of my married co-workers and be good to go,â??” Merry said. “But this benefit came with a great deal of cost.”
Federal law treats the additional health insurance benefit for partners and a partnerâ??s children as income, requiring any state worker who participates to pay taxes on it.
The year Madison discovered it was no longer recession proof
Capital Times
As Madison rang in 2009, still giddy from the election of President Barack Obama, there was optimism the city could somehow avoid the economic fallout from the great recession.
After all, the government town had survived previous downturns virtually unscathed thanks to the twin pillars of the University of Wisconsin and state of Wisconsin.
….The Center on Wisconsin Strategy, a liberal-leaning UW-Madison think tank, kept a running tally of the stateâ??s job scene with monthly updates. Its final report for 2009 showed the state had lost 163,000 jobs since the recession officially began in December 2007 â?? or 5.7 percent of the total jobs in the state.
â??The current downturn has now far surpassed the recession of the early 1980s with respect to percent of jobs lost,â? the report says.
The stateâ??s unemployment rate, however, peaked at 9 percent, failing to reach double digits as some had predicted. The jobless rate has since fallen back to 8.2 percent.

Oates: Big Ten’s incentive to expand is obviou$

If you want to know why there is a groundswell of support for the Big Ten Conference adding a 12th school, look no further than the final Saturday of the college football season, when the SEC and Big 12 dominated the nationâ??s television sets with their title games and the Big Ten twiddled its thumbs.
Indeed, a sagging national image and the need for media exposure late in the football season are the reasons behind the Big Tenâ??s announcement Tuesday that it will spend the next 12 to 18 months investigating its expansion options.
But all the Big Ten really did Tuesday was cast a line into the lake. So which school, if any, will end up on the Big Tenâ??s hook?
