Iran tests longer range missles in new maneuvers

By Alyson Brodsy and Nasser Karimi · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:28 p.m.

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran test-fired dozens of missiles in military maneuvers Thursday that it said were aimed at putting a stop to the role of world powers in the Persian Gulf region. The show of strength came as Iran remains locked in dispute with the West over its nuclear program, which Washington says is geared toward producing atomic weapons but Tehran says is only for generating electricity. The maneuvers came three days after U.S.-led warships finished naval exercises in the Gulf that Iran branded as "adventurist."

Gunmen murder Baghdad U. dean of economics

By Alyson Brodsy and Sameer N. Yacoub · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:26 p.m.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Gunmen killed the Shiite dean of Baghdad University's school of administration and economics on Thursday -- the 155th Iraqi academic murdered in sectarian violence and revenge attacks since the 2003 U.S. invasion. In another attack against majority Shiites, a motorcycle bomb struck a crowded market in Sadr City, killing seven people and wounding 45, police said, just two days after the U.S. lifted a military blockade of the Baghdad district on the orders of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Waiting to inhale

By Alyson Brodsy and Jacob Stewart · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:14 p.m.

The IU campus is filled with a population that often stands out in the cold, rain or other unwanted weather so it may breathe that sweet, winding taste that is tobacco smoke. Having been a cigarette smoker in my lifetime, I'm not critical of this group, which is simply exercising its own rights as American citizens. Being addicted to nicotine is no crime, and many on this campus are ... or are they?

Bye bye, Bob!

By Alyson Brodsy and Ashlee Green · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:12 p.m.

After 50 years on television and 35 on "The Price is Right," TV game show great Bob Barker has decided to retire. The 82-year-old Barker began hosting "The Price is Right" in 1972 and has been its host ever since. Now that he's retiring, he plans to spend time working with his foundation, DJ&T, on animal-rights causes. The foundation's objectives are to fund low-cost spay/neuter clinics and voucher programs as a way to help relieve animal overpopulation, which can lead to the cruelty of animals. Fremantle Media, which owns the show, has been looking for his replacement for two to three years and is considering all options.

Madam Speaker?

By Alyson Brodsy and Rachel Fullmer · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 11:11 p.m.

As an absolute admirer of House Minority Party Leader Nancy Pelosi, whose political reputation has been defined by her determination to climb the ranks of her party through any possible means and by her unwillingness to compromise, I have one thing on my mind as the midterm elections approach.

One-way ticket to the top

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Thursday, Nov. 2,2006 1:19 a.m.

Kellen Lewis never thought he'd put up such big numbers so soon. Coming into the season, the freshman quarterback was not even expecting to play. "When I came here, Blake was only a redshirt sophomore," Lewis said, referring to junior quarterback Blake Powers. "I envisioned having to wait in line and maybe junior year come in and take control of the offense. But eight touchdown passes in two home games? I definitely wasn't expecting that." Lewis didn't have to wait in line. In IU's second game of the season against Ball State, with Powers on the sidelines nursing a leg injury and senior Graeme McFarland knocked out with a shoulder injury, the Hoosiers turned to their third-string quarterback. And in his first collegiate game, Lewis did not disappoint. With his team down 23-7 at halftime, the redshirt freshman led IU all the way back from the deficit, throwing for 228 yards and a touchdown with 88 rushing yards and a rushing score.
