'Ordinary People' full of surprises

By Sara Amato · Wednesday, July 11,2007 6:54 p.m.

You know those songs you play on repeat or those movies you watch over and over? If you have any of those, “Ordinary People” will be the book you read cover to cover multiple times.

Bathroom sinks and ghosts at book store

By Tia Walker · Wednesday, July 11,2007 6:50 p.m.

Sitting on the corner of Washington and Third streets is Boxcar Books, a small bookstore that has a momentary touch of individuality. This month, it is running an exhibit of artist Justin Clifford Rhody’s photography

Eco-Chic

By Colleen Carroll · Wednesday, July 11,2007 5:49 p.m.

In less than a month, the newest “it” bag has sold out. In a panic, eBay profiteers have taken to the streets in search of Chinese-produced knock-offs to mark up 20 times, while those outside the fashion world wonder what in God’s good name is going on here. No, it’s not a new Hermes design nor the hippest Louis-Vuitton print.

Telephony

By Brian McFillen · Wednesday, July 11,2007 4:43 p.m.

On Monday, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the “madam” whose Washington, D.C., escort agency boasted clients from among the U.S. political elite, made 13 years’ worth of phone records public on her Web site.

Pope Benedict the Defender

By Anna Piontek · Wednesday, July 11,2007 4:42 p.m.

The Vatican, which has long been shrouded in the archaism of its flying buttresses, Renaissance domes and painted ceilings, recently made a resolute step into the light of modernity. “Behold,” said Pope Benedict XVI from his balcony, a burning bush next to him. “I stand before you, ordained by God, in offering of the new Ten Commandments. Of Driving.”

Global boring

By Amanda Lowry · Wednesday, July 11,2007 4:41 p.m.

I would like to think that if Al Gore, Sting and Madonna would stop abusing the privilege of exhaling carbon dioxide, global warming would cease to be a problem. Much to my dismay, their efforts last Saturday with Live Earth, the music event that featured 100-plus artists on seven continents rocking against global warming for 24 hours straight, did not correct this issue.

Chained to a cause

Wednesday, July 11,2007 4:40 p.m.

Severe mental illness and psychosis manifest themselves in a number of ways: odd or bizarre behavior, self-mutilation or social isolation, to name a few. Given those descriptions it’s easy to see how chaining oneself to a tree, a dog house or the front porch of your South Bend home could easily be construed as insanity.

Walk of art

By Sara Deuser and Sara J. Deuser · Sunday, July 8,2007 8:21 p.m.

The John Waldron Arts Center was a lively place last Friday evening, when the July exhibits in the Rosemary P. Miller and Flashlight Galleries opened. People of all ages wandered through the exhibits examining wall sculptures and paintings, and peering through artist Jerry Farnsworth’s kaleidoscopes. Gallery walk participants talked with artists and among themselves about the works on display. Peter Lawrence picked up a kaleidoscope and looked through it at his own painting, “Fiorra”. Jerry Farnsworth demonstrated how to use one of his more complex kaleidoscopes to a small group of people, holding it in front of each person’s eyes so they could peer through, telling them, “Thanks for looking.” The opening featured art Farnsworth, James B. Campbell, Peter Lawrence and Monique Cagle. The gallery runs through July 27.

By Zachary Osterman · Sunday, July 8,2007 7:59 p.m.

Karen Hanson, dean of the Hutton Honors College, will be IU’s first permanent provost once she is approved by the IU board of trustees. Hanson’s appointment ends a summer-long search for the first permanent provost, and Bloomington’s first such leader within the administration since Sharon Brehm stepped down from the chancellor position in 2003.

Big bat additions should help basbeall team

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, July 8,2007 7:11 p.m.

The College World Series doesn’t exactly come to mind for IU sports fans when considering the Hoosiers’ baseball team. In fact, IU has a total of 19 conference wins over the past two seasons – two fewer than perennial winner Michigan Wolverines tallied during this year alone.
