Space, the necessary frontier

·

Norton Juster’s “The Phantom Tollbooth” begins with the protagonist Milo returning home from school. He simply can’t figure out the point of his education. When he gets to his house, he finds a giant package addressed mysteriously to him – though it’s not his birthday, nor a holiday, nor has he been particularly nice as of late.

Hoeppner dies at age 59

·

IU head football coach Terry Hoeppner died early Tuesday morning due to complications from a brain tumor, team physician Dr. Larry Rink said. He was 59. “Coach died due to complications from the brain tumor for which he had been treated surgically and therapeutically over the past 18 months, “ Rink said in a statement. “His family was at his side.” Hoeppner had been on an extended medical leave of absence extending through the 2007 season, and had been receiving chemotherapy and radiation. The IU Athletics Department held a press conference reinforcing their full confidence in Coach Hoeppner and named assistant head coach Bill Lynch head coach for the 2007 season in Hoeppner’s stead Friday, June 15. Greenspan said he had been in contact with Hoeppner over the last several weeks, and he said, as Hoeppner was fond of saying, that he didn’t lose, he just ran out of timeouts. “I’ve seen him several times in the last few days,” Greenspan said, “and had a chance to say a few things to him on Father’s Day on Sunday, and that was good for me. He’s certainly struggled with his health here. ... I think from the medical folks (standpoint) he was doing much better than he had done in several weeks, and obviously he took a rapid turn and he (just) ran out of timeouts.”

Bonnaroo clown surprise

Bonnaroo

·

Where the people are as fleeting as the festival itself. Where time is measured in set length, sun strength and the soreness of your soles. Where space is conquerable through the power of music. Where the question is not when or why, but how?  Where the answer is always Bonnaroo.

Dizzee Rascal Maths+English:B+

·

Dizzee is at his best on tracks like "Pussyole (Oldskool)" and "Bubbles," both relentless and both high atop the list of 2007's best rap tracks. On the instructional track "Hardback (Industry)" (think the UK equivalent of Biggie's "Ten Crack Commandments"), Dizzee outlines how to achieve success in the rap world. I just hope Dizzee's questionable marketing move with Maths + English isn't a part of that plan.



Fabolous: From Nothin' to Somethin' B+

·

"I don't judge myself / but I'd say my style is a 10," Fabolous raps on the first track of From Nothin' to Somethin'. Fourteen songs later, it's hard to disagree.

Nancy Drew: C

·

Kids 12 and under will love the movie because they can suspend disbelief long enough to imagine that people can be perfect and the movie ends happily. Take a little sister or cousin to this movie if you must. Better yet, hand her a Nancy Drew book.
