Grilling Machine
Americans often celebrate the 4th of July national holiday by bursting fireworks through the air, marching to patriotic tunes and scorching slabs of meat on a grill.
Billy Corgan 'embraces' old Pumpkins sound
Billy Corgan, a slim, gaunt man with vaguely haunting eyes, was my first modern day idea of a deity.
The Works
The Fourth of July is the celebration of American independence.
'Bewitched' lacks comedic magic, plotline
During the 1960s "Bewitched" was one of the most popular television shows.
Romero's 'Dead' rise again
George Romero invented the modern zombie film (and some say modern horror cinema) with "Night of the Living Dead" in 1968 -- a classic that packed just as many visceral scares as it did volleys of social commentary on relationships between different races and sexes.
'Psycho' killer before caped crusader
Long after dancing his way through "Newsies" but before donning the cape in "Batman Begins," Christian Bale put his name on the map by taking the lead role in "American Psycho," the film adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis novel.
Werewolf thriller really a dog
There are times when you hear a movie sucks, you see said movie and not only does it suck -- it sucks and blows.
Knopfler gets a new package
I sat down to listen to One Take Radio Sessions.

'Loaded' with entertainment for kids
Lindsay Lohan might be smeared across every tabloid in the country, but in "Herbie: Fully Loaded" you forget all about that.

UPDATE: Wright picked 47th overall by Minnesota
46 picks came and went, but Bracey Wright's Draft night came to a close as the Minnesota Timberwolves selected him in the second round with the No. 47 pick overall. On the night, Minnesota also selected former North Carolina guard Rashad McCants in the first round with the No. 14 pick. McCants was one of four UNC players selected in the lottery portion of the Draft. Check more in Thursday's paper on the Bracey Wright and the rest of the NBA Draft.
UITS system compromised?
University Information Technology Support systems might have experienced a security compromise, said Dennis Gillespie, manager of the UITS Support Center. Gillespie said no one is certain whether it was a compromise, meaning someone purposefully intruded upon the machines, or a vulnerability, meaning certain machines were not patched well enough to prevent problems.
Student free speech rights 'murky' after case
A recent U.S. Court of Appeals ruling might open the door to limitations on college students' First Amendment rights in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.
Bracing for the Future
It's the eleventh hour for Bracey Wright's fifteen minutes of fame. Will his stardom carry on out of the Hoosier state? Months of working out, training and auditioning culminates Tuesday night in New York at the NBA Draft. The draft will be in Madison Square Garden and on ESPN at 6 p.m. Wright plans to be in New York Tuesday, but feels waiting in the green room with the rest of the top prospects might be nerve-wracking. "(The draft) is all about who wants it more -- it is tough. This month and all these workouts determine where you go and what happens with you and it erases the last 15 years of basketball up to this point."
Letters to the Editor
I would like to commend the IDS for offering another article about raising awareness of sexual violence on campus. This past year has posed some incredible challenges to the IU community with regard to how we will confront sexual violence as a community. Kacie Foster's June 13 article "Prevention methods key to stopping sexual assault" offered some guidance for women living in a campus environment such as IU. Consistently, IDS representations of sexual assault place the responsibility of ending violence on victims rather than challenging the rape culture that enables such widespread attacks.
Extinguishing the flame of racial prejudice
Mississippi is no longer burning but the flame of racism continues to flicker throughout the nation. More than four decades after civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were beaten and shot to death by Ku Klux Klan members in Neshoba County, Ala., 80-year-old and former Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen was sentenced to 60 years in prison Thursday for commanding the 1964 slayings. Killen faced a maximum of 20 years for each count of manslaughter, and Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon said Killen's terms will run consecutively.
