Sudoku puzzle here to stay

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Aug. 31,2005 12:46 a.m.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Sudoku are deceptively simple-looking puzzles that require no math, spelling or language skills. Unlike crosswords, they don't require an extensive knowledge of trivia. They're logic, pure and simple. They're also addictive. Sudoku books -- pages and pages of grids with nothing more than numbers in boxes -- are selling so well they're quickly filling lists of best sellers.

Selections range from the standard tomatoes, corn, watermelons and pumpkins, to more unusual items such as honey, wild mushrooms, herbs, oriental vegetables, persimmons, edible flowers, heirloom peppers, maple syrup and gooseberries.

Remembering 9-11 in visual exhibits

By Alyson Brodsy and Verena Dobnik · Monday, Aug. 29,2005 1:36 a.m.

NEW YORK -- Days before the fourth anniversary of the 2001 attacks, a photographer is offering intimate images of death and love inside Ground Zero at a new museum that brings you nose-to-nose with the smoldering pit. "If people want to come past the security gates and see what our world was like down in the hole, this is as close as they can come to it," said Gary Marlon Suson, the official Ground Zero photographer for the Uniformed Firefighters Association, the city firefighters' main union.

Toilet 'art' causes neighborhood conflict

By Alyson Brodsy and Pat Milton · Monday, Aug. 29,2005 12:55 a.m.

CENTRE ISLAND, N. Y. - It started with two neighbors talking trash, and spread from there into "Bogey" Seaman's front yard. White toilet seats hang from trees, amid a porcelain garden of junked commodes, urinals and sinks. Nearby sits a discarded refrigerator, tastelessly decorated with a clown's head, totally incongruous in this extraordinarily affluent village.

Buskirk-Chumley shows Ryder films

By Jordan Majewski · Monday, Aug. 29,2005 12:52 a.m.

For those who've grown tired of the usual summer film fare of Hollywood blockbusters that often place special effects over a quality plot, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater is featuring a summer movie series that might be of interest. In conjunction with the Ryder Films, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater is screening critically-acclaimed films that didn't make the standard run at Kerasotes-owned theaters. Buskirk-Chumley Director Danielle McClelland said she believes the series plays an important role in expanding the cinematic palate of Bloomington moviegoers.

Barenboim and Beethoven, not bombs

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 12:57 a.m.

RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Conductor Daniel Barenboim brought together Israeli and Arab musicians for a concert that was as much about communication as it was about Beethoven and Mozart. Though Barenboim has often appeared in Ramallah, Sunday was the first time that his orchestra, whose 100 musicians come from Israel, Palestinian territories, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan, has performed here.

Break out and stop the show

By Patrice Worthy · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 12:56 a.m.

Ah yes, another semester is about to begin, and IU has so much to brag about. Not only did we receive the title of "Hottest Big State School" by Newsweek, but we also received the No. 4 most fashionable school in the Women's Wear Daily Big Ten ranking. This is quite an accomplishment considering the first time IU was featured in the magazine, we received honorable mention. Making the top five sounds good to me, especially when you consider what we were up against.
