INDIANAPOLIS -- The RCA Dome never felt so good to the Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts.

Throughout high school Anthony was a member of the wrestling squad and captain of the swim team.

By Michael Sanserino · Monday, Feb. 5,2007 11:31 p.m.

Ryan Nietert knows better. You don't wear white after Labor Day. So when the Student Athletic Board president wanted to rally IU's student fans for the men's basketball team's game against Illinois on Saturday, Nietert didn't suggest a white out.

IUPD: Confidence key to being safe

By Alberto D. Morales · Monday, Feb. 5,2007 11:31 p.m.

You just left a late-night party and you want to walk the short way home. Do you take the easier, quicker path, or do you take the longer, safer way with lights?

Mapping program uses 3-D images

By Katie Ingmire · Monday, Feb. 5,2007 11:23 p.m.

While sitting in a dorm room one day, a student could decide to travel to Paris. He or she blasts off into the stratosphere, and within seconds, can gaze over the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Pyramid or any other Paris landmark. The launching point is a computer. The vessel, the virtual globe program Google Earth. Google Earth, developed in 2004, combines satellite and aerial images with mapping capabilities to create a three-dimensional map of the globe. The photographs do not function in real time but were taken over the past three years and are periodically updated, according to the program's Web site. While Google Earth is free to download, users have to pay for two upgraded versions of the product: Google Earth Plus, which adds GPS device support and faster performance; and Google Earth Pro, which is meant for professional and commercial use.

By David Weisburd · Monday, Feb. 5,2007 11:18 p.m.

We are told in the business school on a daily basis to "network, network, network." Our professors hammer it into our heads all the time. And still, many don't listen. Well, it's time to listen up. Not for your career development. Not for intellectual stimulation. But for one thing: cash money, and a lot of it.

Vulture politics

By Brian Stewart · Monday, Feb. 5,2007 10:03 p.m.

I hadn't thought of it for a while but pulled it down from the shelf when I witnessed both political parties refusing to honestly defend their positions lately.
