Amazing what a decade can do. Christopher Walken and John Travolta look a little different since we last saw them together in ‘Pulp Fiction.’

Hairspray: B+

By Jacob Stewart · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

As far as musicals go, I prefer the stage to the cinema. The silk screen, while gaining new and innovative ways to tell stories, loses something a live performance has. That said, the new release of the classic "Hairspray" is a fun film that teaches serious lessons and features some amazing vocal performances.

By Kelly Cochran · Wednesday, July 25,2007 8:47 p.m.

While getting paid to stare at pictures for three hours might seem like an unlikely summer job, the Biobehavioral Alcohol Research Laboratory is making it a reality with its project in attention-biases and hot cognition in drug dependence.

Forget about the usual peanuts and Cracker Jacks. It’s time for the fair. Bloomington residents can finally enjoy elephant ears, local farm-raised animals and trucks covered in mud all in one place at the week long Monroe County Fair.

Big Ten Network pleads its case in Bloomington Tuesday

By Ari Shifron · Wednesday, July 25,2007 8:46 p.m.

Whether consumers will be able to see the Big Ten Network when it launches August 30 remains the big question, as many of the large cable operators have balked at the network, saying it is too expensive. Aware of this predicament, Big Ten Network President Marc Silverman and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delaney came to IU on Tuesday to explain the network’s appeal and how people will be affected if it is not widely distributed.

Steve Volan, owner of The Cinemat, has a movie complex. Literally. Despite his love for movies, Volan does not have enough time to keep running The Cinemat, 123 S. Walnut St., and he put it up for sale July 20.

Dr. Ora Hirsch Pescovitz, passed over for the position of IU president just last March, already has big plans for her new role as interim vice president for research administration. “I am incredibly privileged and honored,” Pescovitz said. “I would love to be able to do streamlined infrastructure to help do more productive discoveries within the University (to) greater contribute to help the economy.”

Wylie House displays history of IU’s first president

By Kaitlin Shawgo and Kailtin Shawgo · Wednesday, July 25,2007 8:30 p.m.

With tall windows, a widow’s walk and porches on both its first and second floors, the Wylie House bears little resemblance to other houses on its block. While its neighbors are smaller and designed in modern styles, the Wylie House Museum, 307 E. Second St., seems stuck in 1835.

Last ‘Potter’ brings closure

By Karly Tearney · Wednesday, July 25,2007 8:23 p.m.

Closure: something I never wanted. I expected unwanted closure when I picked up my copy of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” However, I didn’t expect to feel so nervous and uncertain at the end of every chapter.

Harry Potter: Spoiler Alert!

By Sara Amato · Wednesday, July 25,2007 8:23 p.m.

I flipped through the previous Harry Potter book and searched for the summoning charm spell. I found it, then screamed incredibly loud. I pointed my wand toward the public library in my hometown and said “Accio Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!” The book flew to me, and as I caught it I “disapparated” back into my bedroom. Actually, all of that was a lie. I didn’t have to wait in line for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” I somehow cheated the system and the book was given to me seven hours before it was officially released.

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Mitch Daniels ordered new property reassessments Wednesday in Gibson, Posey and Delaware counties, saying there is evidence that commercial and industrial properties were undervalued and therefore shifted more of the tax burden onto homeowners.
