IU study finds erection loss due to condom use might lead to increased 'risky behavior'

By Mandy Eid · Friday, Nov. 10,2006 12:15 a.m.

Erection loss due to condom use might contribute to risky sex behaviors, according to a recent study conducted by the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at IU. Applied Health Science Department professor William Yarber, who co-authored the report, said men who experience this kind of erection loss are more likely to engage in unprotected sex, which could ultimately lead to the contraction of a sexually transmitted disease or unplanned pregnancy.

Last Stand at the 'Rock'

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 11:36 p.m.

IU coach Terry Hoeppner fined junior cornerback Tracy Porter at Tuesday's practice. No, it wasn't for speeding down 10th Street or littering in the arboretum. Hoeppner fined the junior because he committed the cardinal sin of a cornerback: He got beat by his man. "I'm not making excuses, but I broke on a ball and didn't make the play so (the receiver) caught the ball," Porter explained afterward. "Just a little fine that we have."

By Michael Reschke · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 11:35 p.m.

Mitch Daniels and members of Bloomington's delegation to the Indiana legislature.

Indiana Dems set sights on change

By Alyson Brodsy and Ken Kusmer · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 11:34 p.m.

Three Indiana Democrats set their sights on carrying change to Washington after helping their party take control of the U.S. House, a victory that left Rep. Pete Visclosky poised Wednesday to become chairman of a powerful appropriations subcommittee. Republican Rep. Mike Pence, meanwhile, announced his bid to lead the new GOP minority with an appeal for a renewed commitment to the restrained federal spending and limited government that swept his party into power in 1994. Voters Tuesday returned Baron Hill to the southern Indiana seat he held for three terms through 2004 and also elected newcomers Joe Donnelly in the northern 2nd District and Brad Ellsworth in the southwestern 8th District.

Bloomington ready to celebrate Veterans Day

By Shannon McEnerney · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 11:33 p.m.

Many people have a stake in the significance of this Saturday. There is the great-great-grandfather who fought in World War II, the grandfather who served in Vietnam, the 30-year-old mother of two who is leaving for Afghanistan, the 20-year-old cadet, the 18-year-old who is enlisting out of high school -- and there's the younger generation that looks up to them all. These people are just a small portion of the multitude of others affected by Veterans Day. Saturday marks the 88th Veterans Day, bringing with it many events for veterans of the Bloomington community and their families.

Event for poverty awareness brings in thousands of dollars

By Will Moffat and Will Moffatt · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 11:31 p.m.

There are more than one billion people living below the poverty line world wide, which means they are earning less than one dollar a day. More than 800 million are undernourished as a result. This decreases their standard of living, and therefore their well-being. These statements were written on cards placed on tables for the Shalom Community Center's third Annual Hunger Banquet, which raised about $3,500 for the charity Thursday. Joel Rekas, the executive director of Shalom Community Center, said he wanted people to leave feeling different about poverty, a goal he felt was accomplished through the very "powerful" play. The event consisted of a performance from the Bloomington Playwrights Project and a food simulated economic class model. As people entered, they were asked to choose from a hat pieces of paper that read "Lower Class," "Middle Class" or "Upper Class." Once their class was established, they had to find their corresponding tables.

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 10:58 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts are aware of the trap. At 8-0, on the verge of making NFL history and a heavy favorite at home against Buffalo, the NFL's last unbeaten team didn't need a reminder about keeping focus this week. The Chicago Bears taught the Colts that lesson last week.
