Ratliff leads Hoosier bench, tallies 16 points with cast on left wrist

By Matt Mattucci · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 12:09 a.m.

IU junior A.J. Ratliff played Wednesday night's game against Purdue with a cast on his left wrist. But that didn't stop the guard from coming off the Hoosiers' bench and pouring in 16 points, including a 4-for-4 tab from beyond the arc and a perfect 6-for-6 from the field. Ratliff and the rest of the IU reserves combined for 46 points during the Hoosiers' 85-58 victory against Purdue. "It feels good," Ratliff said of his performance. "I did a lot of shooting this week, a lot of shooting when I was out with that injury. The ball felt good coming out of my hands and my teammates were getting it to me when I was open."

Looking at my crystal ball

By Mike Abrams · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 12:03 a.m.

The world of sports in 2006 left us with many memories. Some were good, some were bad and some were sad. We watched Roger Federer dominate tennis, we watched another NBA brawl and we endured the passing of legendary NBA coach Red Auerbach. With all the excitement and sorrow of 2006, I can only imagine what 2007 has in store for us.

By Will Moffat and Will Moffatt · Wednesday, Jan. 10,2007 11:28 p.m.

While the government doesn't provide free health care for the 46 million Americans without health insurance, a small group in Bloomington is doing what it can. The Volunteers in Medicine clinic will be opening on April 23, four months earlier than planned. Mary Roberts Henderson, public relations chairperson and member of the organizing committee, said there were two reasons for this: the number of volunteers signing up, and the large amount of money donated.

In Washington, an intelligence official speaking on the condition of anonymity said the U.S. killed five to 10 people in an attack on an al-Qaida target in southern Somalia but did not say who was killed.

Jordan River Forum

By Aparna Venkatraman · Wednesday, Jan. 10,2007 9:20 p.m.

I am responding to Jonathan Rossing's column berating American-Indian student groups and the Mathers Museum for a children's event that taught about American-Indian stereotypes and realities ("Deeper diversity," Dec. 7, 2006). Rossing did not attend our event but relied on an IDS article that omitted many things we said and, due to the demands of the format, contextually isolated others. Nonetheless, despite not attending or talking to anyone who did, Rossing confidently declares, "Just a guess, but I bet the ... program made no mention of arguably the worst genocide in world history, when European settlers quickly destroyed the population of native dwellers." Even as he chastises us for not bringing genocide to
