Something Wisconsinites can be proud of: "UW-Madison alumni are big on the Peace Corps."

For the second year in a row, Wisconsin's flagship university tops the list of large schools providing volunteers to the Peace Corps, with 85 alumni currently volunteering worldwide.

This is the fourth year UW-Madison has ranked in the top five large universities providing Peace Corps volunteers.

"UW-Madison continues to have a strong and important partnership with the Peace Corps," said Chancellor Rebecca Blank in a university news release on Wednesday.

"For our school to be number one for the second year in a row speaks to this tradition and the commitment of our students to serving others," Blank said.

USA vs Canada for gold medal in womens hockey on now NBC Sports Network.....

and what a history these two teams have. Last four Olympics the Canidans have won Gold, with the last match, 4 years ago, USA was up 2 goals, and within 5 minutes lost.....such a heart breaker. They’re out for revenge this year. USA USA USA.

How as a Country are we going to EVER come together?

Is it even possible? What has to happen? What type of situation would possibly make it happen? I am not aware enough or smart enough to even fathom that ever happening.
