Milwaukee-born Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller is renowned for his immortal hits: “The Joker,” “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Rock’n Me,” “Abracadabra” and others.
He’s also well-known for being outspoken. The day the Rock Hall announced Miller as one of the inductees in its Class of 2016, Miller in a Journal Sentinel interview called the hall “an exclusive private men’s club” and called on them “work more on music education programs and to make its museum something more than a place where they sell postcards, posters and T-shirts” — and he was critical of the Rock Hall, and the music industry at large, at the induction itself.

Noted: This time, the house avoided demolition when a development firm called Webb & Knapp purchased the house from the Seminary, using it as offices for their Hyde Park operations. Two fraternity chapters with houses in the neighboring area—one of which briefly had Wright as a member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison—also offered to vacate their premises, giving the Seminary ample space to expand and eliminating the need to demolish the Robie House.

While climate research continued at UW-Madison, collaboration efforts stalled, said Stephen Vavrus, a UW climate scientist and co-director of WICCI. “Not having open involvement with the DNR, things definitely slowed from our end,” Vavrus said. “We’re optimistic the tide has turned.”
The 37-year-old Pompey was hired to replace the retiring Leckrone this fall, and faces the challenge of leading the band with enthusiasm and equanimity. Some fans have already noticed changes — in particular, an updated playlist — but it’s Pompey’s goal to give the fans the same Wisconsin band they know and love.
For these climate activists, the issue can be personal. Vic Barrett, 20, and a student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said that his interest in activism started with the Black Lives Matter movement. While that movement focused on sudden violence against Americans of color, Barrett began thinking about the “slow violence” of climate change.

UW-Madison Police Lt. John McCaughtry, who conducted the review, said officers didn’t do enough to engage in a dialogue with the 17-year-old and that left them with fewer options once the teen went into a confined area in his home and resisted police attempts to handcuff him.
Lloyd describes how her own father left their family farm at age 18 — “he already could see the difficulty in trying to make a living that way” — and she traveled widely in pursuit of an education tied to farming: a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from Brown University, a masters in rural development from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, work on sustainable forest management issues in Russia, Sweden and Finland in the 1990s and then a doctorate in rural sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Before Bascom Hill became a symbol synonymous with the University of Wisconsin–Madison, it was the city’s first cemetery.
Seeing her walking outside in the evening, one might not realize the challenges Wolf and her neighbors face during a heatwave. The community is outside of downtown Madison, home to the University of Wisconsin; it doesn’t get the extreme impacts of the urban heat island.

In 1942, alarmed by reports that Japanese forces were waging germ warfare in China, the Army decided to launch a secret program to develop biological weapons. It hired a University of Wisconsin biochemist, Ira Baldwin, to run the program and asked him to find a site for a new bio-research complex.
A legislative proposal pending in the Wisconsin Legislature is far from a light touch. It requires University of Wisconsin system colleges to adopt certain rules on free speech, including suspending for at least a semester students who have twice been found responsible for “interfering with the expressive rights of others.” Students who violate free speech policies three times must be expelled.
Meanwhile, bills are proliferating across Republican-controlled states such as Wisconsin requiring universities to expel students engaging in “disruptive” protests, which could potentially include anything from loud clapping to walkouts, according to the ACLU. Also in Wisconsin, a Republican lawmaker threatened to cut the University of Wisconsin’s budget over an “obscene” reading assignment aimed at exploring how sexual preferences can lead to racial segregation in the gay community.
Noted: The Queen isn’t the only old oak the Meyers have on their property. The farm is home to a dozen oaks that are at least 200 years old, Tizza said. In 1988 a group from the University of Wisconsin collected bore samples from 12 trees on the farm. They were studying weather changes in old trees, Tizza said, and ended up finding the champion tree and other centuries-old oaks in the process.
But many oaks did not survive European settlement and subsequent development and fire suppression, and Tizza said because Wisconsin was logged, big trees like the Queen are rare in the state.
Take, for example, the 300-year-old bur oak on the UW-Madison campus known as the President’s Tree that was taken down in 2015.

Brenda Mayrack never intended to become an unclaimed-property czar. Even among legal specialties, the field is particularly obscure: During law school at the University of Wisconsin, she remembers hearing only a 10-minute lecture introducing the topic at the end of her trusts-and-estates class. But as the director of Delaware’s unclaimed-property office, Mayrack now oversees a fund of $540 million a year, forgotten by people from Paris to San Francisco and then held temporarily by the state.

80 years ago today, the Wizard of Oz premiered, cementing its place in cinematic history. But did you know a Watertown native and UW-Madison grad played a pivotal role in that movie?
Noted: Madison’s public high schools do not have master plans, while UW-Madison does. In its federal complaint, Edgewood lists 11 facilities that it says UW-Madison uses for activities not specified in its master plan.
The facilities listed include the Near West Fields, the Near East Fields, the Natatorium and the Goodman Softball Complex, which the complaint maintains are all used for competitions without that use being specified in UW’s master plan.

Noted: Research that one of us, Bill, did with Willie Choi of the University of Wisconsin and Gary Hecht of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, suggests that simply talking about strategy with people is not sufficient.

Noted: JSR’s decision to get into that market was bold but Mr Koshiba seemed like the right person for the job. He’d spent two years studying materials science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on a Rotary Club scholarship, was one of the few English speakers at the company and was eager to work abroad. In 1990, JSR sent him to Belgium to set up a photo-resist joint venture with the country’s biopharmaceutical giant UCB. The goal was to target the American market.
