UP: Madison. The city is named the nation's 'most walkable' city, ahead of Austin and San Francisco. The list, published by Prevention magazine, considered such factors as air quality, the percentage of people who walk to work, and, uh, the weather. That's right. Madison's weather is better than Austin's or San Francisco's.
DOWN: Roman Catholic Foundation. The UW group loses its bid to get $250,000 in student fees. U.S. District Judge John Shabaz says the organization, which has only three students on its 12-member board, is not controlled by students and therefore deserves no student fees. The foundation, which is the oldest religious group on campus, filed suit last year after university officials denied its funding request.
