			<description><![CDATA[ Walk into &quot;Man on Wire&quot; and the opening scenes might make you think you&#39;re watching a tense heist thriller from the 1960s, something like &quot;Rififi&quot; or &quot;The Red Circle.&quot; We watch a group of young men tensely working on some kind of elaborate, seemingly dangerous plan that involves infiltrating a building. One of them comments fatalistically, &quot;Best-case scenario, we all get arrested.&quot;  But Philippe Petit and his crew weren&#39;t planning on stealing a million dollars or ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ &quot;Hamlet 2&quot; stars British comedian Steve Coogan as a hammy actor named Dana Marschz who can&#39;t get beyond bit roles in herpes medication ads and &quot;Power Juicer&quot; infomercials. So, he goes &quot;where dreams go to die&quot; -- that would be Tucson, Ariz. -- and becomes a deluded high school drama teacher and aspiring playwright who adapts movies like &quot;Erin Brockovich&quot; to the stage.  After the school newspaper&#39;s ninth-grade theater critic chastises him, Marschz is inspired to ... ]]></description>

In Madison, we have the fall, when a blast of new people come to the city in what can sometimes seem like an invasion.  Each August, upwards of 10,000 newcomers arrive here if you break down UW-Madison enrollment to be about 6,000 freshmen, 1,200 transfer students and 2,000 graduate students. That doesn&#39;t count new university staff, or the ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ There may be some pleasure in armchair traveling, but in Madison it&#39;s vastly better to be a dining chair traveler.  From Ethiopia to Russia, we&#39;ve identified a smorgasbord of ethnic restaurants -- several subterranean, one suburban and all surprising. The list is not intended as a &quot;best of&quot; list; instead, it emphasizes places that are unique, a bit off the beaten path, or spots that a newcomer might miss.  Rev up your appetite, and let&#39;s go:  1. Arbat, ... ]]></description>

The beloved Italian restaurant on University Avenue will be back this year with its saltimbocca, a mouth-watering grilled chicken and ham panini with melted fontina cheese and sage aioli. It took first place in the Italian category of the competition, held ahead of this weekend&#39;s event on the Capitol Square.  The panini is not something Lombardino&#39;s has on its regular menu -- the restaurant ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We are blessed with a great arts scene in Madison, which many of us take for granted. An oft-repeated sentiment is that with all the plays, concerts and gallery openings to take in, a person can get overwhelmed quickly.  But a few places stand out as being consistent locations to experience locally and nationally made art, and offer a good introduction to the fine arts scene here. Some are obvious: The Overture Center, for example, ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Sauk County may not be the first place that comes to mind when considering a fun summer road trip. But, as some friends and I discovered recently, there is enough to do in Sauk City, Baraboo and Spring Green that by evening we were already planning a return trip.   It&#39;s impossible to open a newspaper these days without running into our favorite topic to complain about: gas prices. So when looking for entertaining out-of-town activities, ... ]]></description>

The festival kicked off Friday night with local reggae favorites Natty Nation and was capped Sunday night by a rousing set from the jam jazz outfit Garaj Mahal, led by guitar and sitar virtuoso Fareed Haque.

And the chances are strong that this reading will occur at the annual Wisconsin Book Festival.  This year&#39;s festival, which runs Oct. 15-19 and is free and open to the public, has adopted the theme &quot;Changing Places,&quot; a description that the event&#39;s director, Alison Jones Chaim, says covers a lot of territory -- from families to the ... ]]></description>

While the books can be considered &quot;cozies,&quot; Baker emphasizes the attitudes of collectors -- acquisitive, competitive, greedy, occasionally unscrupulous -- which apply no matter what is being collected, whether it be antiques, guns, paintings ... ]]></description>

In this book, Justice Thomas recounts his remarkable story, which begins in rural and impoverished Georgia and ends with his ascension to the nation&#39;s highest court. Throughout the memoir, Justice Thomas recounts many struggles -- an absent father, separation from his mother, inner turbulence, coming of age in the late &#39;60s and early &#39;70s, professional ... ]]></description>

For TV, it&#39;s satellite, cable, and over-the-air broadcast, with AT&amp;T planning to offer its U-verse service before the end of the year.  The one local distinction between the major satellite providers will matter to some: DirecTV offers the local network affiliate stations in high definition while DISH Network doesn&#39;t have them in HD yet, but plans to add them before the ... ]]></description>

You just want something tasty, a value, but instead of a few chardonnays and cabernets, you&#39;re presented with a list resembling a term paper.  Looking at an extensive wine list like those at Harvest, Fleming&#39;s or Eno Vino can cause even a wine-trained eye to glaze over. ... ]]></description>

Soman, aka Kolja Trelle, made just two stops in the United States on his current tour, Los Angeles and Madison.
