IU alumnus introduces new file-storing Web site

Thursday, March 6,2008 10:25 p.m.

While on sabbatical in Spain to figure out what he wanted to do with his life, IU alumnus Stefan Surzycki realized what he really wanted was to be able to access his computer files from anywhere. It was then that he came up with the idea of Jooce.com, a free Web-based service that allows users to store files and is accessible from any computer.

One in every 100 Americans is now living behind bars, according to a report released Feb. 28 by the Pew Center on the States. While figures for the state of Indiana are largely below the national average, growing incarceration rates have had no small impact on the Hoosier state.

Le Dernier Cri: Copyright, Congress and fashion

Thursday, March 6,2008 8:35 p.m.

The fashion world has always prided itself on being exceptionally creative. Designers work for months to produce collections that are beautiful and original. So what happens when someone makes a knockoff and sells it for a fraction of the price?

Wash those nasty hands!

Thursday, March 6,2008 7:42 p.m.

It appears that some universities recognize that not everyone remembers the advice our moms gave us back when we were just 2 years old: Always wash your hands. The University of Central Florida is trying to make sure people wash their hands. UCF has created a campaign that features a student walking around campus with one hand on a urinal and the other free for high-fives. And if the toilet-handler doesn’t deter people from not washing, UCF has also installed 32 new hand sanitizer dispensers throughout its campus.

Digital dating

By Rachel Goldberg · Thursday, March 6,2008 7:29 p.m.

When I was in the seventh grade, I was asked out for the first time. His name was Scott, and we had English together. We had talked about everything — homework, movies, politics, sex, etc. Despite all these diverse and wonderful conversations, I was completely shocked when he asked me out.

Oncourse, of course

By Julia Boriss · Thursday, March 6,2008 7:28 p.m.

I haven’t been able to find anything I need on the new Oncourse. Every time I log in to look for something, I end up getting distracted by all the new photographs of peppy college students engaging in various learning-related activities. I just sit there and hit “refresh” until I have viewed them all enough times to be able to fantasize that these people are my real-life friends. These kids, whoever they are, are truly having the ultimate college experience.

Botched ideas '08

By Georgia Perry · Thursday, March 6,2008 7:26 p.m.

Because this is the week before spring break, and the Friday before spring break at that, my readership will doubtless have significantly decreased. Most of my eight loyal readers are probably already off vacationing somewhere, and the brains of any readers left in town are probably too fried from midterms to want to read anything at all.

Few bad, most good

By Rachel Goldberg and Robert Granger · Thursday, March 6,2008 7:25 p.m.

It seems to me there is always one big video on the Internet that everyone is musing over. In my opinion the big video a couple of days ago was “U.S. soldier throws puppy off cliff.”

Penelope

Does somebody smell bacon?

By Andrea Alumbaugh · Thursday, March 6,2008 2:44 p.m.

Like a bad wine, no amount of aging can soften the stink of a bad movie. Though “Penelope” sat on the shelves for about two years after its production, it is now painfully clear that the people in charge were merely delaying the inevitable flop of this fractured fairy tale.

IU might consider pairing with schools to teach inmates on-site

By Paul Coover · Thursday, March 6,2008 3:05 a.m.

Many universities, including IU, have programs that offer inmates in correctional facilities the opportunity to get a college degree. IU, however, only offers inmates distance learning courses, which are taught through mail correspondence.  PODCAST:  Hoosier Headlines
