If you're into art, music and tea -- or your significant other no longer considers having a beer and sitting on the couch with you a date -- come to the IU Art Museum Friday. The museum will stay open until 7 p.m. for Teahouse Night to celebrate its current exhibition, "Conspiring With Tradition: Contemporary Painting From the Guilin Chinese Painting Academy." The exhibit features a variety of contemporary Chinese art, said Judy Stubbs, Pamela Buell Curator of Asian art.

Bluebird offers a taste of 'Sexual Chocolate' Saturday night

By Zack Teibloom · Thursday, Nov. 30,2006 10:57 p.m.

Karl Denson is one of those musicians people have seen without even knowing who he is. He got his break in an uncredited roll as the bandleader and saxophonist in the fictional band "Sexual Chocolate" in the 1988 Eddy Murphy movie "Coming to America." He played as Lenny Kravitz's saxophonist and bandleader throughout the '90s and has played in numerous projects since, garnering acclaim from jazz, rock and jam fans as he fused genres together with whatever his current lineup happened to be.

IU report: No Child Left Behind Act too stringent for special education

By Zachary Osterman · Thursday, Nov. 30,2006 10:49 p.m.

Students in special education programs are being put at a disadvantage by the No Child Left Behind Act, claims a recent IU study conducted by Center for Evaluation and Education Policy and the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community. The Nov. 15 report states that "the act's narrow assessment criteria creates pressure for schools to reverse inclusion efforts," which may negatively affect special education dropout rates.

Online Only: All the rage

By Alyson Brodsy and Ayesha Awan · Thursday, Nov. 30,2006 9:13 p.m.

There are a number of things that can set people's tempers blaring here at IU. Some people get behind the wheel of car and begin displaying obscene cases of road rage. Perfectly understandable at times, especially here in Bloomington -- like when certain people can't get their Ugg(ly)-boot-encased lead feet to function properly while simultaneously driving, attempting to see over their sunglasses and talking to their best friends on their cell phones about how they hope that frat boy they slept with last week didn't give them herpes. It's quite normal to experience some road rage in such conditions, as long as you don't go around shooting people in Bryan Park over it or something.

UPDATE: Grease fire at Read McDonald's causes minor damage

By Kristi Oloffson · Thursday, Nov. 30,2006 3:18 p.m.

A minor grease fire at the Read McDonald's late Thursday morning resulted in minor damage but caused of all Read Center to evacuate, said Bloomington Fire Department Battalion Chief Mark Webb. The fire started in the fryer, but the exact cause is undetermined at this time, said Fire Prevention Officer Todd Easton. Damage was limited to the fryer, said McDonnald's owner Roland Long, but he suspects it will cost at least $20,000 to replace it, in addition to the cost of replacing the ductwork which was also damaged in the fire. Assistant Manager Melanie Scott said she was working at the fryer when the fire started. "Smoke started billowing out and we opened the doors and saw flames and got everybody out," she said. Scott wasn't too concerned about the damage, saying no one was worried or scared from the situation.

IU outsourcing plans part of growing nationwide trend

By Brian Spegele · Wednesday, Nov. 29,2006 11:56 p.m.

Mark Winstead, manager of the Wright Place food court, gathered a few of his employees last week and suggested they update their resumes. This is in the wake of further chatter among trustees that the privatization of current in-house operations could ease the University's financial burdens. Already up for private bidding are the IU Motor Pool and the IU Bookstore, and trustees said it was likely dining services would follow in the spring. Despite objections by some staff members who fear they will join the ranks of America's unemployed following a private takeover, the University's interest in outsourcing is among a rising trend. Mitzi Shrum, an employee within the Wright Place food court, is worried about losing her job if IU eventually opens dining services to private bidders.
