Field Hockey: Coach mines prime talent from 'Golden State'

By Alyson Brodsy and Jordan Majewski · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 1:10 a.m.

IU coach Amy Robertson has found field hockey gold in California. With five players hailing from San Diego and nearby Escondido, Calif., Robertson has successfully tapped into a fertile hotbed of budding field hockey talent. In the process, she has transformed an upstart IU field hockey program into not only Big Ten title contenders, but a team to be reckoned with on a national scale.

Playin' it Shaffe: What is a Hoosier?

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Shaffer · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 1:09 a.m.

To raise awareness (and ticket sales) for Saturday's Homecoming game against Illinois, coach Terry Hoeppner invited Hoosier fans to e-mail him for the chance to give their 12-year-old-and-under son or daughter an exclusive chance to participate in "The Walk" to "The Rock." The contest asked the kids to answer the question, "What is a Hoosier?"

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 1:09 a.m.

With plenty of football still left to play in 2005, IU coach Terry Hoeppner and the rest of his staff continue to stock up players for next season. The latest high school senior to commit to the Hoosiers is Deonte Mack, a 6-foot-3, 275-pound defensive tackle. The Elkhart, Ind., native is a two-star recruit and is ranked as the top defensive tackle in Indiana in this year's graduating class, according to www.peegs.com. Mack joins Indianapolis native Greg Middleton and Matt Mayberry of Darien, Ill., as the lone defensive recruits for the Hoosiers next season.

Not just for museums, art can be purchased at shops along the Gallery Walk

By Alyson Brodsy and Lisa Braverman · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12:33 a.m.

If there was a metaphor for the diversity of art involved in Friday evening's Gallery Walk, it would be the refreshment tables -- salmon pâté next to candy corn. During the appropriately named "Downtown Gallery Walk" event, nine downtown art galleries collaborate to show their collections in a three-hour block of time. Friday evening, the public was allowed to tour Bloomington galleries from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

'Shoes' every girl has been in

By Alyson Brodsky and Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

There is no better way for Cameron Diaz to have made a comeback then to star in "In Her Shoes," a story to which every sister can relate. As Curtis Hanson makes a transition from his last directorial feature, "8 Mile," he couldn't have picked a better cast to star in this adaptation of author Jennifer Weiner's best-selling novel. Diaz plays Maggie Fuller, a free-spirited, irresponsible party girl who often clashes with her straight-edged, job-oriented sister, Rose, played by Toni Collette. Diaz spends the first half hour of the movie as an unemployed party girl who mooches off of her successful sister.

Like sitting through church...

By Alyson Brodsy and Rob O'Connor · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

As you may have guessed from the title, "The Gospel" is a movie about church. But not the stuffy old church you went to as a kid, this is a rockin' happenin' church where they dance and play the electric guitar. Finally, a movie about how cool it is to go to church... Wait, I mean, who was the idiot that thought it would be a good idea to make a movie about how cool it is to go to church? Now maybe it's just me, but no matter how many flag girls with sequin jumpsuits you put on stage, I would still rather spend my Sundays sleeping in and watching football (or in the off-season just sleeping in some more).

From Page to Screen

By C. Warner Sills and Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

Have you ever been in that conversation where someone is ranting on about how movie adaptations of books are never as good as the original? These people are all around and make up a general population of people who seem to have some moral hatred of seeing a movie based on a book.

Snip snip snip

By Rebecca Price · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

Monday morning the temporary fixes begin: the hat, the bandana, the ponytail holder. Confess: you've even rocked a sweatband for an entire week because those frontal frizzies somehow managed to develop a mind of their own. Does this sound familiar: leaning awkwardly into the bathroom mirror, head half dry, attacking your hair with scissors that you found in the kitchen? We've all been there. A bad haircut is most definitely something to be avoided at all costs. Doing this in Bloomington can be a challenge -- or so you thought. Many students, like seniors Raleigh Jurnakins and Alton Dorian Clark, say they would rather spend money on a quarter tank of gas and drive to Indianapolis, their home town, rather than risk an overpriced Bloomington style.

Recipe for fun: Get 'Naked' and watch DVD

By Alyson Brodsy and Olivia Morales · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

I've seen Mike Leigh's "Naked" almost a dozen times and I still can't describe how good it is. It gets better each time I see it, and I learn more each time I see it. When it debuted in 1993, its reception was, to put it mildly, mixed. Critics didn't dispute that it was a valuable film, but some viewed its protagonist, Johnny, as misogynistic, rambling and over-dramatic. To be fair, Johnny does possess a certain violent discontent with the world, which seems to manifest itself in his careless treatment of women.

Crazy has entered the building

By -Nate Bethea and Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

Fiona Apple has long been known for two things: writing eye-opening, nuanced piano songs and being crazy. Neither of the two has changed in the six years since her last album, the consistent and underappreciated (if dense and inaccessible) When the Pawn... For starters, anyone who downloaded the leaked version of the album in the past year or so will be happy to learn that the final mix sounds much better than what was passed around on the internet. Producer Jon Brion was dropped in favor of hip-hop producer Mike Elizondo, and the album was re-recorded.

A reunion like no other

By Alyson Brodsy and Ryan McLaughlin · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

The DVD release of Cream's Royal Albert Hall performance shows the highlights of the long overdue reunion concert of rock's first "super-group." The 2-disc DVD set contains more than 20 classic Cream songs, including "Badge," "Crossroads," "White Room" and "Sunshine of Your Love," as well as interviews with band members Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.

Good 'morning'!

By Alyson Brodsy and Patrick Hurley · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

To call My Morning Jacket a unique band is an understatement. Hailing from Louisville, KY, MMJ got started with five members. After some amount of success, two of the founders of the band decided they weren't cut out for the constant touring that comes with success. The remaining members didn't know where to go next. Would they dismantle the band? Would they continue with three members? Would they add new members? Bingo, the remaining three: singer/songwriter and guitarist Jim James, bassist Two-Tone Tommy and drummer Patrick Hallahan decided to add keyboardist Bo Koster and guitarist Carl Broemel to the mix.

Fishnets Fetishes & Fun

By Stephen Crane · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

Just as the monotony of daily routines begin to take hold, yet another opportunity to unleash the inner 'id' is coming to Axis Nightclub at 9 p.m. Oct. 15, with the return of Eroticon, the event formerly known as Stimuli. This 20th appearance of Eroticon, an erotic convention, is packed with contests, booths and events guaranteed to titillate. "Basically, it's a fun, safe place for people to creatively express their sensuality," said Leyna Wallace, media spokesperson for Sessions Inc., who is organizing the event.

This 'curse' is hilarious!

By Alyson Brodsy and Evan Ross · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

For those of you uninitiated (okay, most of you, myself included), British animator Nick Park created the claymation duo of Wallace and Gromit back in 1989. For years, his animated shorts have existed almost completely on the other side of the Atlantic. However, Dreamworks decided to distribute Wallace and Gromit's first feature-length debut here in the States. Can an obscure stop-motion British duo make it? By the reaction this film received in the theater, the answer is a resounding "yes." First, an introduction: good-natured inventor Wallace (voice of Peter Sallis) and his trusty silent partner/dog Gromit are making a small fortune helping out their small town with their humane pest control business. Looking for a permanent way to stop these bunnies from chomping up prized vegetables, Wallace constructs a machine in order to change their rabbit-y nature. Unfortunately, the machine malfunctions and instead lets loose a hopping mad monstrosity on the town.

Another day, another Ryan Adams album

By -Nate Bethea and Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 12 a.m.

Ryan Adams is nothing if not prolific. He already released a double album (Cold Roses) this year with his new band the Cardinals, and since 2000 he has put out seven releases, all of varying quality. 2000's Heartbreaker was a jaw-dropping alt-country dirge; 2003's Rock 'n' Roll was a tongue-in-cheek rip-off of just about every alternative rock act ever. Adams seems to have come full circle from his days in Whiskeytown -- after conjuring every genre, he's back to straightforward country. It certainly sounds great, and the fact his picture isn't plastered all over every surface of the album means he may be becoming less of a prima donna.
