____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Tensions rose as tailgaters were told to evacuate the Hoosier Village ten minutes prior to Friday’s kick-off.Although tailgaters were permitted to leave their cars in the Hoosier Village during the game, numerous vehicles were driven away when people were asked to vacate the premises. “We pay for the spot. We shouldn’t have to go to the game if we don’t want to,” senior Chris Lampa said. “Leaving only promotes drunk driving.”An estimated 49 citations and arrests were made from about 3:30 to 11 p.m., IU Police Department Sgt. Shannon Ramey said. While there were no big uprisings, some arguments did spark when security asked tailgaters to leave. A crowd gathered around one male student who was pleading on his knees with IUPD officer Brian Oliger. The student was allegedly harassing and physically pushing one of the workers picking up cans with a garbage bag and clamp. Another man was arrested after being caught allegedly smoking marijuana and another two were cited for allegedly urinating in public.In both instances, police were about 10 feet away from suspects.One person was sent to the hospital after a fight broke out, Ramey said.However, the new procedure to clear out The Hoosier Village worked well, IUPD Capt. Jerry Minger said. People seemed to cooperate well, and many tailgaters crossed 17th Street to see the game, he said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The Monroe County Rural Transit bus service can take people to places like Walmart, Ivy Tech Community College and Goodwill.Area 10 Agency on Aging Director Doug Norton wants to get the word out that this service is available for students now that the new school year has begun, he said. Area 10 is a not-for-profit organization funded by the federal government and primarily serves to help senior citizens. Rural Transit, however, is open to citizens of all age. Twenty-year-old Brian Farley said he has been taking the Rural Transit bus every day to Ivy Tech for two weeks, as he waited for Wednesday’s 1:40 p.m. bus at the stop between Fourth and Fifth streets on Washington Street. “I don’t have a car, so this is as good as it gets right now,” Farley said. Although the Rural Transit only arrives every 30 minutes, it also operates free of charge for students to travel to Ivy Tech. The fee for adults is 75 cents and $1.50 for crossing county lines. Seniors are asked to donate the full fee amount. “If people do not know about Rural Transit, they are locked inside the city limit,” Norton said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Arctic Monkeys have always put an emphasis on fast-paced, fluid drumming and creating stylish rhythms. Their new album, “Humbug,” organizes these elements in a darker fashion. Fans of Arctic Monkeys will most likely enjoy this slightly different side of them. Outside listeners might be better suited to their previous works, which were more light hearted and pop-ish. In an interesting side note, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age helped produce seven of the tracks on “Humbug,” and it definitely shows. The darker Arctic Monkeys have an edgy mysteriousness to them that leaves you with the feeling that the have flexed a new muscle. Lead track “Crying Lightning” epitomizes this notion, balancing a catchy jam with powerful elements of a Queens of the Stone Age ballad. “Dance Little Liar” might very well be the best track on “Humbug;” the eeriness of the background guitar and the monotonousness of Alex Turner’s voice leads into an epic face-melter. Although it’s one of Arctic Monkeys’ finest, the third album still falls short of their previous works.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Michael E. Stogsdill, 58, was arrested for Sunday’s police standoff where he threatened to kill himself, said Lt. David Drake, reading from a police report. On Monday, Stogsdill was arrested at Bloomington Hospital on a Class D Felony for intimidation and a Class A misdemeanor for resisting law enforcement. He was taken to jail and booked.From about 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Stogsdill threatened to kill himself outside of Country View Apartments where police and Monroe’s Critical Incident Response Team were called to. The situation diffused when Stogsdill was shot with a non-lethal sponge round and collapsed to the ground. The weapon Stogsdill was wielding was later identified as an Airsoft gun. If it were a lethal firearm, his charges would have been much worse, Drake said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>A male was shot with a sponge round – a strong blow to the body without penetration – by BPD officers Sunday after threatening to kill himself at Country View Apartments, Lt. David Drake said, reading from a police report.The man was holding an Airsoft gun in the shape of a Walther 9-millimeter, Drake said, and he was reported to have wanted the police to shoot him.At about 3:06 p.m., the man called BPD on two separate occasions from the Country View Apartments on South Rockport Road to issue a noise complaint. When police arrived, the man refused to believe they were real police officers, despite being in police uniform, Drake said. Officers could not find any noise violation.At about 5:07 p.m., the same man was seen standing in his underwear in the apartment parking lot holding what looked like a black handgun, Drake said. The man refused to talk with police negotiators, and Monroe County’s Critical Incident Response Team was called to the scene.Shortly after 7 p.m., the man walked toward the officers. After refusing to drop his weapon, an officer shot him with a 40-millimeter sponge that hit him in the shoulder, Drake said. The man suffered bruises and a cut where he was hit.The man was taken in an ambulance to Bloomington Hospital, where he received a psychiatric evaluation.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Indiana State Excise Police reported Monday that they issued a total of 84 citations from Aug. 26 to 29 and confiscated 20 false IDs.Most of the summonses were alcohol-related, including illegal possession of alcoholic beverages, illegal consumption of alcoholic beverages and furnishing alcohol to a minor, according to an Indiana State Excise Police press release.During Welcome Week excise issued 63 citations in 2008 and 181 in 2007, according to the press release.IU Police Department made 45 arrests this year. Most arrests and citations made were alcohol-related incidents.“I’m surprised we haven’t had any dumpster fires,” said Tyler Andis, a Varsity Villas security officer on duty Saturday night.Andis patrolled the Varsity Villas complex Saturday with two other officers, including Donald Webster, who said they were a lot busier this year.The blood alcohol contents of those arrested were also higher than in previous years, IUPD Sgt. Rebecca Schmuhl said.IUPD officers came across several people unresponsive upon officers’ arrival, Schmuhl said, including a person who was taken to the hospital with a BAC of .39.Along with a stronger excise presence and patrols by IUPD during Welcome Week, the Bloomington Police Department also took action.“We see a large increase in underage drinking, OWIs and fight calls from bars,” Lt. David Drake said.Due to the arrival of students for IU’s fall semester, the BPD put more units on the street to deal with the increase in underage drinking and noise violations, according to a news release.“The first couple of weeks away from home are an opportunity for some to test the limits of their newfound freedom, and we want to make sure things do not get out of hand for their safety and for the general well-being of the community,” Chief Michael Diekhoff said.“It sets the tone early for how we will enforce various laws and ordinances throughout the academic term.”

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>A 1980 Ford Mustang convertible crashed into the loading dock of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center at 12:25 p.m. Wednesday, IU Police Department Capt. Jerry Minger said, reading from a press release. Driver Jennifer Smith and passenger Ashleigh Smith suffered minor injuries and were transported to Bloomington Hospital.The driver reported that the brakes on her car would not work and she could not pump them. Instead of driving into traffic on Jordan Avenue and risking injuring others, Smith swerved her car and drove into the culture center.The Bloomington Fire Department was first on the scene, Minger said. The vehicle was traveling at about 15 mph when it crashed.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Monroe County Prosecutor Chris Gaal announced the formation of a county-wide Sexual Assault Response Team, or SART, on Thursday morning at IU’s Sample Gates.College campuses are notorious for rapes and sexual assault, Gaal said. The response team will help victims through the trauma.“This is exactly the type of community that needs it the most,” Gaal said.It has taken three years for Gaal to get this service implemented. Lack of political will in Monroe County has made it difficult, said former Monroe County council member Sophia Travis.The roles of the parties involved will be determined by the situation. For instance, victims do not have to report the crime to the police but can receive free hospital care through a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. An advocate will explain to victims their legal rights.The new team formalizes existing services’ roles, said Bloomington Police Capt. Joe Qualters, who spoke at the press conference along with other advocates including IU Provost Karen Hanson.In the past three years Middle Way House has averaged 70 sexual assault cases per year. Numbers peak in April during the Little 500 bike race and when school ends and begins, Toby Strout, Middle Way House Executive Director, said. There have already been 73 sexual assault cases reported to Middle Way House in 2009, but some of the assaults occurred years before.During IU’s 2008-09 academic year there were 15 reported cases involving faculty and students, Strout said. Middle Way House provides counseling and services for domestic violence and sexual assault victims. Strout said that for every reported rape, three to 10 go unreported.Neighboring Owen and Greene Counties plan to model similar SART programs based on Monroe’s, according to a Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office press release.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>A 19-year-old man reported being shot Wednesday night by the baseball fields in Cascade Park, Bloomington Police Department Lt. David Drake said. The man said he was meeting his ex-girlfriend at 10:30 p.m. at the park to exchange money the woman owed him. After getting in an argument, the woman drove off and later texted him to meet back at the baseball fields, Drake said.While the couple sorted out the money issues at the park, a four-door, white vehicle pulled into the parking lot, he said. Two unknown males exited, and one man raised a handgun at the ex-boyfriend. The ex-boyfriend ran into the woods where he heard a shot fired and the words “You’re lucky that I didn’t hit you,” Drake said. When police arrived on the scene they found a nine millimeter shell casing in the parking lot, Drake said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>After $2.88 billion in government money and 690,114 vouchers for cash, Cash for Clunkers came to an end Tuesday.Officially known as the Car Allowance Rebate System, Cash for Clunkers gave people the opportunity to turn in their “clunker” if the automobile received 18 or fewer miles per gallon. In return, customers received up to a $4,500 rebate off their purchase of a new vehicle that got better gas mileage.The program was put in place to get old cars off the road and encourage people to buy more fuel-efficient vehicles. Because of the program, automotive companies such as Ford and General Motors have been able to increase production and re-hire workers who were originally laid off. “It was a great program,” Andrew Ludwig, a Stephens Honda sales associate, said. “A lot of people took advantage of it.”American consumers and workers benefited from this program the most, said Ray LaHood, secretary of transportation, according to a press release. According to the White House Council of Economic Advisers, about 42,000 jobs will be created or saved during the second half of 2009 due to the increase in car production.Indiana had a total voucher amount of about $6.6 million, which was 16th highest in the nation, according to the United States Department of Transportation.“We haven’t gotten all our money back, but we are not overly concerned,” Ryan Richardson, Bloomington Ford sales associate, said. “Our new management staff did a very good job not taking major risks.”Other dealers also reported problems when it came to the new program.“It’s like anything else that’s new. You got to work out the kinks,” Ludwig said.The role of the car salesperson was essentially flipped when Cash for Clunkers was in effect. As opposed to having a bigger automobile inventory that salesmen could present before customers, Bloomington Ford as well as other car dealerships often ran out of cars to sell to those coming in.Now that Cash for Clunkers has ended, Richardson said he is only partially happy. “It was the best month we have had in a long time,” he said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The much-anticipated “Ursa Major” has been six years in production and has now finally delivered despite some major delays. Though the overly popish songs “Can You Take Me” and “Don’t Believe a Word” fail to live up to popular anthems like “Semi-Charmed Life” and “Jumper,” don’t let that throw you.Once “About to Break” blows into heavy distortion with a beautifully layered guitar solo and then soars into raw background vocals screaming “Break like a fever,” you’ll recognize that its one of Third Eye Blind’s finest. After that, “Major” balances political moments with the usual love-gained-and-lost themes to create a great overall effort.Something about this album is nostalgic. Maybe it’s the slow-paced, bittersweet ballads or merely that the group hasn’t been around much since the new millennium. But as the final instrumental “Carnival Barker” concludes, you’ll be left hanging to realize that these guys were not some ’90s pop-rock band that faded away, but something much deeper

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Frank B. Jones lived a life others will continue to respect him for because of what he did for IU and his community.Jones died Tuesday at the age of 86 in Franklin, Ind.Born in 1923, Jones left IU during World War II to serve in the U.S. Air Force. When he came back to IU, he joined the Alumni Association from 1951 to 1987.IU’s Alumni Association became one of the nation’s largest, garnering 62,000 members during his tenure.“He was very influential in the University,” said family friend and IU senior Jesse Loop. “He worked very closely with Herman B Wells.”A friend of Jones since 1954, Bill Baldwin recalls the first business venture he and Jones started in their late 20s. The two of them built a dam in Brown County to create a lake, around which they would sell property lots.“We had bad financial problems, but Frank convinced a bank to fund us even though we had little collateral,” Baldwin said. “It was his persuasive charm that got them to do it.” Together the two ended up selling all their lots and essentially created what is now Somerset Lake.Along with serving as “the ultimate alumni secretary,” Jones was director of Alumni Affairs and an adviser to the Delta Upsilon fraternity.“He was important to our fraternity in so many ways,” said Ronald Kovener, adviser for IU chapter of Delta Upsilon and close friend of Jones.A Benjamin Franklin history buff, Jones wrote many articles on Franklin and a book, “Benjamin Franklin Remembered,” that sold more than 10,000 copies. “I can even answer questions on ‘Jeopardy’ because of something that Frank B. Jones said,” Kovener said.Jones suffered from diabetes and dementia, which hit its worst three months before his death.A while ago, Kovener came across some old pictures and visited Jones to show him the photos. However Jones could no longer recall what they were of. “He was well into Alzheimer’s at that point,” Kovener said. “That visit didn’t turn out as I hoped.” He added that Jones never forgot who Kovener was.As former neighbors with Jones, Chancellor Ken Gros Louis got to know Jones fairly well. “He was very vigorous on behalf of the Alumni Association,” Gros Louis said, “He played things pretty close to the chest.”

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The IU Police Department is suggesting that citizens treat tomorrow like a weather hazard – only leave the house if necessary.People are moving in, as shown by the caravan down Fee Lane or anywhere else on campus.To prepare for the move-in rush, IUPD will dispatch 75 officers to monitor traffic and parking as well as a bike patrol that will be able to go around vehicle traffic. “Bicycle officers have become a beneficial addition to the staff on this day with their ability to respond and not be hindered by the congestion of vehicular traffic or irregular terrain,” Captain Jerry Minger said in a press release.Ten police officers on bike patrol have recently graduated from the IU Police Academy and took their bike patrol class Tuesday.The officers’ intensive training began Saturday and concluded Tuesday with a long-distance trek around Lake Monroe. Training included obstacle courses, riding up and down staircases, power slides and engaging a suspect with simulated ammunition.Bike patrol instructor and officer Brian Oliger and other instructors were running the training in the woods off 17th Street. Each student had to ride as fast they could for about a quarter-mile up the hill on 17th Street, where they had to engage in a hostile situation played out by other officers.“What we are trying to do is stress them out as much as possible,” Oliger said. “If they’re ever in this situation, they’re not going to just crack or freeze up.” Oliger is the International Police Mountain Bike Association instructor for IUPD and is a former rider in the Little 500.Officers will also be on foot patrol around the dorms Wednesday evening.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The Indiana Department of Transportation will be managing traffic signals along the Indiana 37 Bypass during IU football games via camera systems from its Indianapolis office. The change is part of a plan to better control area game-day traffic.The change will route traffic in a clockwise pattern around IU’s Memorial Stadium after the game and a minimum of two hours before kick-off.The new traffic system will turn Fee Lane, 17th Street and Dunn Street into one-way streets. The Indiana 46 Bypass will remain a two-way street that will only allow eastbound traffic to enter into the clockwise pattern, according to an IU press release.The traffic system, pushed by the IU board of trustees, was created in conjunction with the IU Athletics Department, Gorove-Slade Associates and INDOT traffic engineers, the release said.“This new plan should significantly improve traffic. Our new game-day experience and new stadium won’t mean much if people can’t get there,” Athletics Director Fred Glass said in the press release.“They (INDOT) have been a tremendous help and offered us a lot of support,” said Kit Klingelhoffer, assistant athletics director for game management.INDOT has provided its services to IU free of charge. The only cost for the new traffic system is from signs around campus detailing the game-day traffic flow.An increase in the Monroe County population and IU students has increased local traffic and made the game-day plan more difficult to implement, Klingelhoffer said.“Nothing is going to be perfect,” he said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Local agencies responded to gunshots, hostages and hazardous chemicals at Assembly Hall on Wednesday – all for a disaster drill.The Monroe County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) organized a simulated crisis for the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT), a Hazardous Material (Hazmat) squad, the Red Cross and 13 other local agencies.The script depicted a 9-1-1 call reporting that three men had entered Assembly Hall and sprayed basketball camp attendees with a highly toxic pesticide. One victim was shot.A local CIRT team moved to a door on the North side of Assembly Hall, which leads to a corridor where the perpetrators took victims hostage.Once the situation diffused, the Hazmat team took victims out of Assembly Hall to a decontamination tent. In this inflatable tent, victim’s clothes would be cut off – yellow jump suits for simulation purposes – and then the victims decontaminated.“This is how we would respond to a real situation,” IU Police Department Cpt. Jerry Minger said.Victims included 31 volunteers with a card clipped to them listing their injuries and how they needed to be treated.Maria Carrasquillo, Monroe County Red Cross Director of Emergency Services, managed Wednesday’s scenario, helping both would-have-been victims to the hospital and officials stay hydrated. Carrasquillo also mentioned an online Web site, safeandwell.org, for helping people get in touch with their families when disaster occurs.The simulation went smoothly, officials said.Members of respected agencies operated from a command center relatively distant from the crisis area.“One of our big objectives is communication between agencies,” LEPC coordinator Dennis Williamson said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The IU board of trustees listened to complaints Aug. 13 from representatives from the IU School of Medicine and the IU golf course as they face financial losses.“We’ve had a successful year. Of course the problems didn’t start to happen until later,” said trustee Thomas Reilly, who chairs the finance and audit committee.The board met at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis and discussed the 2008-09 financial closing. One main concern was the IU golf course, which lost $164,000, adding to its $2.3 million deficit. The board expects a recommended solution to the deficit by December. But the board will be hesitant to make excessive expenditures with dwindling state funding.“We are no longer state supported, but state assisted,” said trustee Jack Gill.With IU subsidizing areas on campus that do not make a profit, such as the Indiana Memorial Union, Gill said the school should have the business model similar to that of a private university.The board said 86 percent of IU’s revenue comes from tuition, a number that will likely increase because of ebbing state appropriations, said Neil Theobald, vice president and chief financial officer.Although out-of-state tuition will continue to increase, in-state tuition will continue to decrease as more financial aid and grants become available. Therefore, Theobald said, IU can attract high-ability, low-income students.Representatives from the IU School of Medicince also said they need an additional $50 million to be adequately funded.Indiana has a population of about six million and IUPUI’s campus has the only medical school, IU’s Executive Vice President and IUPUI Chancellor Charles Bantz said.“The state of Indiana needs a good medical school,” he said.The school only has the ability to have a strong focus on three areas of medicine: cancer, metabolic processes and neuroscience.However, Dawn Rhodes, IUPUI’s vice chancellor for finance and administration, said their request of $50 million would be hard to gather without crippling other campuses.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The gods of rock ‘n’ roll smiled down on Dunn Meadow on Friday, as lightning did not strike and rain remained a drizzle, allowing State Radio to perform a free show for IU and those who traveled from faraway places like Madison, Wis., Northern Illinois University and Louisville, Ky.Deuce Thevenow, co-director of the Business Careers and Entertainment Club, was the main organizer of the event, which required a year of planning. Thevenow drew his inspiration from his friend Charles “Corky” Owen McCormick IV, who died from an overdose of fentanyl.Morgan “Amy” McCormick is a senior and Corky’s sister.“I just wasn’t expecting this entire show, and Deuce is such a go-getter,” McCormick said. “I was impressed he was able to pull the whole thing off and the fact that he still cared after five years.”“I’ve got friends that are going down the same path where they are starting to use hardcore painkillers, and a lot of them are addicted,” Thevenow said.Addicted to Music presented the event with members of the club. Thevenow also helped create a documentary about IU students who have dealt with addiction problems in their family, featured on areyouaddicted.org.“There’s a lot of people out there who want to quit, but don’t have the resources or the money or the ambition to do it,” Thevenow said. Thevenow raised $32,000 to bring State Radio to IU. About $16,000 came from IUSA, and the rest was raised from numerous donors on campus. Thevenow ended up short some of the costs, but in the week leading up to the event, the Interfraternity Council stepped in and made the event possible, Thevenow said. State Radio’s front man, Chad Urmston, was a member of the popular 1990s band Dispatch before the band separated in 2002.State Radio is a band known for its involvement in community service projects and humanitarian aid. Through their organization, Calling All Crows, the band has recently worked to raise money to provide stoves for women in Darfur so they do not have to leave the confines of refugee camps to gather supplies and face potential acts of violence and rape from the Janjaweed, a band of armed militiamen hostile toward African farmers. Artists’ incorporation of politics in their music usually faces heavy criticism or is highly praised, but Urmston is enthusiastic about it. “Obviously I’m all for it – as an artist I feel kind of a responsibility,” Urmston said. “I think it’s not for everyone, but I’ve always enjoyed and been really influenced by musicians that have a message of some sort.”At about 5 p.m., Urmston and Mike Najarian, drummer for State Radio, walked with event organizers and met students in the Arboretum for an open jam session, where many students brought their own instruments. “I can’t say I’ve ever done anything like that before,” Najarian said. Before the encore of State Radio, the crowd chanted Thevenow’s name, and he later crowd-surfed through the audience. “I’m in heaven,” Thevenow said. Thevenow said Sunday he could not be happier with the way the concert turned out. Addicted to Music raised $1,300 from poster and T-shirt sales, Thevenow said.“Oh my God, it was amazing,” said concert attendee Todd Price. “They put on a great show. I mean, I couldn’t stop bobbing my head.” Price was friends with Corky and was in the same graduating class.“I woke up to go to the graduation, I got a phone call and it was one of the worst calls I’ve ever had in my life,” Price said. “It just goes to show how we all have to look out for each other.”
