Where they stand

By Chris Freiberg and Warren Christopher Freiberg · Monday, Nov. 6,2006 3:24 a.m.

Indiana's 9th District is one of the closest House races in the country. Though the district traditionally leans Republican and President George W. Bush received 59 percent of the vote here in 2004, Democrat Baron Hill served as its representative from 1998 until 2004, when current Rep. Mike Sodrel, R-9th, defeated Hill by fewer than 1,500 votes. They first faced off in 2002 with Hill receiving 51 percent of the vote to Sodrel's 46 percent.

By Alyson Brodsy and Stephen Graham · Monday, Nov. 6,2006 12:20 a.m.

BERLIN -- A German electric company said Sunday a high-voltage transmission line it shut down over a river to let a ship pass could have caused the chain-reaction power outages that left about 10 million people in the dark across Europe. The blackouts Saturday night briefly halted trains in Germany and trapped dozens of people in elevators in France and Italy. Austria, Belgium and Spain were also affected, though supplies to most regions were quickly restored. No injuries were reported.

IU hoping to secure NCAA Tournament bid despite loss

By John Wustrow · Monday, Nov. 6,2006 12:08 a.m.

For the IU women's soccer team, history needs to be enough in the eyes of the NCAA.

Wilmont's energy keys IU win

By Eamonn Brennan · Monday, Nov. 6,2006 12:04 a.m.

No one told Rod Wilmont that Sunday's game was supposed to be an exhibition. In the first game under his new coach, Wilmont was his old self -- jumping at steals, flying into the stands, even careening into Kelvin Sampson as he raced down the sideline in hot pursuit of a loose ball.
