By Katie Dawson · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 10 p.m.

In September 2000, geocaching.com was created. It has since grown to more than 87,000 account holders in more than 100 countries. As a longtime geocacher and member of the geocaching club at IU, graduate student Maria Solomou said geocaching is an interesting spin on the classic treasure hunt.

Hoosier Hysteria

Crean's team brings high intensity, high effort to every situation

By DeAntae Prince · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:56 p.m.

As was evident from the scars worn by players, the IU men’s basketball team hasn’t deviated much from the staple of last season in its first week of practices. The Hoosiers began 2008 without an identity and ended with a reputation as a still learning, but hard-working, team.

The thrill of the hunt

By Brian Welk · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:54 p.m.

I remember the first time I was with my uncle Greg Welk, a fitness professor at Iowa State University, as he and my three younger cousins searched for geocaches – the treasures hidden around the country for those willing to explore and share their adventures.

Boy meets girl, girl gives boy a makeover

By Alexa Altman · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:23 p.m.

I do not understand why men have seemingly super-glued themselves into holey, faded sweatshirts and mud-caked tennis shoes. I understand that the general male population enjoys the simplicity of yesterday’s T-shirt, but the general female population enjoys the sexiness of a well-dressed man.

With comedy that’s not about health care, philosophy or any other deep topics, Lisa Landry will headline at the Funny Bone Bloomington Comedy Club this weekend. “I don’t take much seriously,” Landry said. “I’m not a political comic; I’m not a topical comic.”

Avoiding $4 gas

By Matthew Gorman · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:12 p.m.

The dollar continues to fall against most major currencies and its decline seems to be gaining momentum as it has fallen against the Euro in six of the last seven trading days as of the close of the markets Monday.  It’s not really shocking that this is happening considering the major steps our government has had to take recently.

We’re not Obama’s team

By Kristi Lafree · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:07 p.m.

Liberal: A 4-letter word

TV Surveillance

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 8:17 p.m.

With Halloween almost upon us, many of us will be looking for any sort of media that could scare us half to death. But instead of dipping into the DVD collection for your copy of “Let the Right One In” or heading out to see “Paranormal Activity,” stay in and watch television. There are a number of programs this week that will deliver the scares – because they are so bad. I will not suggest a division between live watching and DVR’ing, as 20 minutes of these programs will have you covering your eyes.

Refrain Yourself

By Kelsey McArdle · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 8:09 p.m.

When I’m sitting in the office at the campus radio station, WIUX, I often anticipate the scuffing sound of the mailman carelessly shoving manila envelopes into the mailbox.
