By Jill Gingery Jackman · Friday, Nov. 3,2006 12:23 a.m.

He's since been involved in local government, first in 1999 when he was appointed to the board of zoning appeals, and then to the land use planning commission.

IU senior takes on 6-year incumbent in House race

By Paige Ingram · Friday, Nov. 3,2006 12:21 a.m.

Matt Pierce feels the Indiana General Assembly has lost its way. Since his election to the State Representative for District 61 seat in 2000, his main goal has been to help get the state on the right track, reversing some of the bad decisions he said they made. "One of the problems is the representative leaders in the General Assembly are not asserting themselves as an independent branch," Pierce said. "They've pretty much become a rubber stamp for Gov. Mitch Daniels." Pierce said it is important for the legislature to ask hard questions, in response to the proposals of the governor.

By Alyson Brodsy and Howard Ulman · Friday, Nov. 3,2006 12:12 a.m.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady. The unbeaten Indianapolis Colts versus the New England Patriots, who have only one loss. The hype versus the reality. There are plenty of subplots to Sunday night's game between two of the NFL's best teams -- Adam Vinatieri's first against the team for which he kicked two Super-Bowl-winning field goals, Manning's struggles against the Patriots and Brady's growing comfort with his new receivers.

Iran tests longer range missles in new maneuvers

By Alyson Brodsy and Nasser Karimi · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:28 p.m.

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran test-fired dozens of missiles in military maneuvers Thursday that it said were aimed at putting a stop to the role of world powers in the Persian Gulf region. The show of strength came as Iran remains locked in dispute with the West over its nuclear program, which Washington says is geared toward producing atomic weapons but Tehran says is only for generating electricity. The maneuvers came three days after U.S.-led warships finished naval exercises in the Gulf that Iran branded as "adventurist."

Gunmen murder Baghdad U. dean of economics

By Alyson Brodsy and Sameer N. Yacoub · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:26 p.m.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Gunmen killed the Shiite dean of Baghdad University's school of administration and economics on Thursday -- the 155th Iraqi academic murdered in sectarian violence and revenge attacks since the 2003 U.S. invasion. In another attack against majority Shiites, a motorcycle bomb struck a crowded market in Sadr City, killing seven people and wounding 45, police said, just two days after the U.S. lifted a military blockade of the Baghdad district on the orders of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Waiting to inhale

By Alyson Brodsy and Jacob Stewart · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:14 p.m.

The IU campus is filled with a population that often stands out in the cold, rain or other unwanted weather so it may breathe that sweet, winding taste that is tobacco smoke. Having been a cigarette smoker in my lifetime, I'm not critical of this group, which is simply exercising its own rights as American citizens. Being addicted to nicotine is no crime, and many on this campus are ... or are they?

Bye bye, Bob!

By Alyson Brodsy and Ashlee Green · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:12 p.m.

After 50 years on television and 35 on "The Price is Right," TV game show great Bob Barker has decided to retire. The 82-year-old Barker began hosting "The Price is Right" in 1972 and has been its host ever since. Now that he's retiring, he plans to spend time working with his foundation, DJ&T, on animal-rights causes. The foundation's objectives are to fund low-cost spay/neuter clinics and voucher programs as a way to help relieve animal overpopulation, which can lead to the cruelty of animals. Fremantle Media, which owns the show, has been looking for his replacement for two to three years and is considering all options.

Madam Speaker?

By Alyson Brodsy and Rachel Fullmer · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:11 p.m.

As an absolute admirer of House Minority Party Leader Nancy Pelosi, whose political reputation has been defined by her determination to climb the ranks of her party through any possible means and by her unwillingness to compromise, I have one thing on my mind as the midterm elections approach.
