CBS B.S.

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2006 12:41 a.m.

Last week, Katie Couric made her debut on CBS Evening News as the first female solo news anchor. Before she even made her first broadcast, word had already come out about her promo photo, which had been altered to make her look significantly thinner. Probably not the best way to begin reporting the "news," especially when coming from "The Today Show," a program focused mostly on entertainment issues.

New podcast options won't replace classes

By Zachary Osterman · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2006 12:12 a.m.

Though University Information Technology Services has brought podcasts to IU students and faculty, going to class will not become a thing of the past. Not all classes will use them, and they are not meant to supplant lectures, said Podcast Project Manager Martin Wagner and several professors.

Even after watching everyone I cheered for (Andre Agassi, James Blake, Rafael Nadal, Lindsay Davenport and Justine Henin-Hardenne) lose in the U.S. Open, I saw from the men's final that not everyone's tennis dreams were shattered.

Is the new HPV vaccine for you?

By Alyson Brodsy and Anne Reese · Monday, Sept. 11,2006 11:39 p.m.

Imagine this scenario: A woman goes to her university health center for her regular gynecological checkup, which includes a Pap smear, a routine test for cervical cell changes that could lead to cancer. She is shocked to find out that she's infected with a viral sexually transmitted infection called HPV or human papillomavirus. She's overwhelmed with various emotions -- confusion, anger, embarrassment. Questions seem to swirl in her mind and tumble out of her mouth. What does this mean? How did I get it? Who gave it to me? What do I do now? Is there a cure?

Are we as good as we think?

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 11,2006 11:29 p.m.

As I listened to Dean Dan Smith articulate the meaning of being a Kelley student to newly admitted students last week, one message was indispensable: Forget the rankings, starting salaries and bragging rights that come with being in Kelley. The quality of student that Kelley launches into this world is the focus of our leader. Our faculty has the highest expectations for us, but sadly the majority of our student body does not hold itself to this elite standard.

Florence knocks out power in Bermuda HAMILTON, Bermuda --Hurricane Florence knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses in Bermuda but was moving away from the wealthy British enclave Monday as tourists hunkered down inside resort hotels. The eye of Florence, the second hurricane of the Atlantic season, was churning northwest of Bermuda. It was spared a direct hit by the eye of the storm, but forecasters said hurricane-force winds extending up to 70 miles from the center could cause substantial damage.
