By Thomas Miller · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2008 3:50 p.m.

Isolating herself from the world worked out pretty well for Frida Hyvönen

Hyvönen breaks the silence

By Katie McKenna · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2008 3:47 p.m.

Remaining in solitude for a year may have induced an artistic awakening in Hyvönen, but after hearing Silence is Wild, listeners will surely hope that her powerful presence will remain seen, not hidden.

Blindness can’t keep Andrea down.

Casting a spell

Animated animals gone wild

By Jordan Greenberg · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2008 3:34 p.m.

Although it lacks a solid plot, “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” is an enjoyable film that includes loads of laughs. It makes it easy to get lost in the animated world and pretend you’re a child.

"Yes, we are sisters, get over it.

One of 2008's best films

Their regular season doesn’t begin until Saturday, but the Hoosiers have already had to grind out a win at home.
