The lender, Art Capital Group, sued Leibovitz in July claiming she breached an agreement that authorized it to act as the agent in the sale of her photography and real estate.

By Danielle Paquette · Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 11:37 p.m.

More than 30 years after the Beatles’ untimely dissolution, a video game allowing fans to go where no fan has gone before rises from the ashes.

Suicide awareness

Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 10:21 p.m.

Suicide is a public health problem that is preventable. Most people who die by suicide do not want to die; rather, they want to relieve their pain, or “psychache,” that they are experiencing but feel hopeless about doing so.

Looking around at the relative prosperity of our country, I would have to say that American men by and large do a pretty good job.

State-blessed sodomy

Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 10:17 p.m.

The primary document of interest in this case is the Church of England’s “Book of Common Prayer.” Since 1662 nearly every wedding in the English-speaking world has been modeled from the template given under the Prayer Book’s heading “The Form of Solemnization of Matrimony,” wherein we learn the three purposes of marriage: first for “the procreation of children, to be brought up in the fear and nurture of the Lord, and praise of God”; second as “a remedy against (sexual) sin”; and third to provide for “the mutual society, help, and comfort, that the one ought to have the other.”

No Kirkwood Labor Day parades

Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 10:15 p.m.

Labor Day is an important national holiday like Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Memorial Day, set aside to give everyone a chance to take a break from their work to serve their community and learn about groundbreaking achievements in our nation’s history. Unfortunately though, IU’s administration has decided not to give students and professors a day off to recognize this holiday.

Recycling is important, but we can and should do more

Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 10:13 p.m.

Educating and providing the right opportunities and incentives are needed! The common talk about recycling and how important and beneficial it is allows us to stay comfortably in the “business as usual” mode. But this is not enough. Herman B Wells, the 11th president of IU, advocated the retaining of tree and green space throughout the campus. That was his vision of being “green”. Today, we know that preserving nature is a key step but not enough. We can and should do more.

I want my money back

Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 10:10 p.m.

As an American taxpayer, to paraphrase one recent antiwar writer contrasting Vietnam and Af-Pak, I want my money back, I have seen this movie before and it ends badly.

Is this college?

Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 10:07 p.m.

The daily monotony of class, eating, Facebook and sleeping can seem tempting. But is that why you came to college? Is that all there is to experience at IU?

Baron Hill’s arrogance

Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 10:03 p.m.

I’m stunned by Hill’s arrogance. First, Hill was talking down to the people who pay for his salary and his pension. Then, Hill admitted a nakedly political motivation to hide his words from the public, and is willing to stifle academic freedom and freedom of speech to do so

Criticizing criticism

By Jordan Greenberg · Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 10 p.m.

When one says, “you can’t handle criticism,” take it as a compliment, because it means you’ve just won.

A means to an end in Afghanistan

By Jared Stancombe · Tuesday, Sept. 8,2009 9:58 p.m.

When the Bush Administration went to war against al-Qaida and the Taliban, it squandered the opportunity to show the Afghan people that the U.S. is on their side and that we are only after those responsible for the attacks.
