Whether you're planning to see it or not, you've probably heard something about "Brokeback Mountain." The movie tells the story of two cowboys who work together and form a relationship — a romantic one.

As I opened up The State News on Jan. 9, I was very disappointed in what I saw on the front page. Hoping to see an article about the women's basketball team's exciting victory over Rutgers on Saturday as the headline, I was frustrated to see the page dominated by an article about the men's disappointing losses to Wisconsin and Illinois.
Michigan artist Cynthia Foley will display her work from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. today at the Lansing Art Gallery, 113 S Washington Square, in Lansing.
Musically speaking, Lansing radio is currently in a terrible state, especially for listeners working on a tight budget who can't afford satellite radio. I know this because, being a fifth-year student, I have next to no money in the bank.
When people hear about MSU, a few instant characteristics come to mind. Namely sports and agriculture. For that reason, it seems fitting that out of the more than $2 million in grants MSU received due to outstanding research, a large part will go toward the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The agriculture college has expanded to create all different kinds of agriculture including sustainable agriculture, which will receive $384,000 of the granted money.
Real whiners have one of two problems with drinking wine: "It makes me tired," or "I don't like red wine — It tastes funny and I don't like drinks that aren't cold." In response to the whiny complainants, the "Zippy Orange" drink has been concocted. The new alcoholic beverage is guaranteed to be enjoyable for wine enthusiasts as well as folks who have their doubts about the fermented grape juice.
My fantasy basketball team, Give and Go, faced some pretty big expectations coming into this season.
Instead of rubbing his head in wonder at what went wrong as the second half went along, MSU head coach Tom Izzo jumped up and down and wildly pumped his fists while the rest of the crowd loudly welcomed back senior guard Maurice Ager. With 28 points, Ager bounced back quite nicely from two games in which he combined for only 20 points. But it wasn't all peachy.

Shifting and tilting a wine glass, Kirk Reedy evaluated the color of the small amount of liquid at the bottom. "Color is very important, especially in red wines," Reedy said. The 37-year-old student said he considers himself lucky to be one of the last people to participate in the MSU viticulture and enology program, which will no longer be offered after this semester due to low enrollment. "I'm disappointed the program is ending," Reedy said.
Six candidates are now in the race to fill an empty Michigan Senate seat representing most of Ingham County, including MSU.

A murder mystery dinner train will leave the East Lansing Hannah Community Center and travel to Charlotte in a trip that will included a three-course meal and an interactive mystery to solve Jan.
Tumbling mats and balance beams have sprained ligaments, pulled muscles and fractured bones for the MSU women's gymnastics team. While these types of injuries are expected on football fields, head coach Kathie Klages said that gymnasts, like the gridiron giants, put their bodies through abuse for the love of sport. "They go through intense training all through high school and their bodies get a little beat up when they get to the college level," Klages said.
I'm a little confused when I see The State News flooded by the same false information repeated by four different people — many of which a simple Facebook search will show are all white males engaged in some way with the group Young Americans for Freedom, or YAF. It's an organization that is ultra-conservative and has repeatedly expressed racist views.
Meet hunger, appetite and satiety — your new best friends. Our bodies actually already know hunger, appetite and satiety, but somewhere along the line, your mind and your body lost touch.
I never could quite understand what the big deal was with Stanley "Tookie" Williams. However, he had many big name stars behind him fighting for his life — literally. Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dog were only a couple of big names behind him, and many of the other celebrities fighting for him were also black.
