Hoosiers try to topple Penn State for 1st time

·

University Park is the next stop for the IU road show, where the grapplers will look to avenge a 37-4 drubbing last January in Bloomington. The Hoosiers, at 12-1 is off to their best start since the 1995-96 season, have never won in six meetings against Penn State. Coach Duane Goldman will get an opportunity to reverse that trend Friday. He will have a full lineup to work with for the first time in weeks. Two starters were held out last week because of a bout with the flu.

Headaches continue with IU away from home

·

All season long IU has been mired in road difficulties, and that didn't change Thursday night as the Hoosiers fell to Illinois 53-43 in Champaign, Ill. The same problems that have been plaguing IU (8-10, Big Ten 1-7) throughout Big Ten play -- scoring droughts and turnovers -- ended any chance the Hoosiers had of picking up their first conference road win. Despite sluggish play, IU had many chances to even the score toward the game's end.

My, how quickly things can change. One day, you're romantically linked with the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, then you wake up and Kirstie Alley and the Snapple Lady (Wendy Kaufman) head the list of possible suitors.

Duke loses for 1st time this season as its top trio falters DURHAM, N.C. -- When Duke needed a basket, J.J. Redick tried to deliver. The streaky scorer took 3-pointers, stepped inside the arc for midrange jumpers and even drove to the basket. Very few of his shots went in as Maryland's stifling defense sent the Blue Devils to their first loss.

PAST AND PRESENT HOOSIERS

I hate Microsoft. Using clever business strategies, Bill Gates has managed to take the idea of open-sourcing intellectual property and has constructed a computer empire spanning the globe, with no one to oppose him. I was under the impression that monopolies were a Bad ThingTM, and Microsoft definitely qualifies.

Disconnected from reality

·

Inexperienced teenage drivers are allowed to change the radio, talk to passengers and style their hair, but once a cell phone is added to the mix, their capacity for multi-tasking ends, say Virginia legislators.

Branford Marsalis embraces jazz tradition

·

NEW YORK -- Branford Marsalis has no regrets about casting aside what many would consider the trappings of a successful musical career. He's had gigs as bandleader-sidekick on "The Tonight Show" and musical director of Sting's post-Police band, and even a contract with a major record label.

Kinsey Confidential

Question: I've been aware since my pre-teen years that I have rather large labia minora and have often felt very self-conscious to the point that I'd want to cut the "excess" off when I was young.
