Tour de chance

By Jordan DeLong · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:24 p.m.

So I took up bicycling. I think it had something to do with the boredom of sitting in an empty apartment with nothing to do but read. I resigned myself to exploring the southern fringes of rural Bloomington. I unlocked the '82 Schwinn Le Tour from the back fence and headed south. After fumbling awkwardly with my gears, I decided that it would be the hills, rather than traffic, that would be my end. I was already thick with sweat when I pedaled by Bachelor Middle School, a daunting building that is almost aggressive in design.

Jordan River Forum

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:22 p.m.

Inspiration can be defined much differently I was rather confused after reading "The State of the Game Address" by David Resnik (May 24). I believe that Resnik and myself have extremely differing opinions on what the word "inspiring" means. Resnik had some choice words to describe the recent play of Lakers guard Kobe Bryant: "…his ability to deliver this caliber game while dealing with a much-scrutinized court case in Colorado is astonishing….in fact, it is inspiring."

Struggling students look to programs for help

By -Jenny Kobiela · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:18 p.m.

Academic troubles can plague anyone from new students adjusting to college life to battle-hardened college veterans who have too much on their plate. While these hardships are the bane to the existence of any student, there is help for struggling students vying to get out of academic trouble. One major source of help is the Student Academic Center.

BLEMF to present 'Solomon' Sunday

By Andrea Opperman · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:15 p.m.

The Bloomington Early Music Festival produces an opera each year. This year, they were given the opportunity to do something similar, but with a twist. While the performances are usually theatrical, this year the featured choir, vocalists and orchestra will perform without the on-stage action. The BLEMF will present composer Georg Frideric Handel's oratorio about the life of King Solomon, as featured in the Old Testament. The production will also hold concerts in Lafayette and Indianapolis, as well as Bloomington.

Stalking rival politically tacky

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:15 p.m.

Politics is certainly not a clean game. Sometimes it requires getting your hands dirty. But even politics, amazingly enough, has its limitations. Justin Warfel, a campaign staffer for Illinois Republican Senate candidate Jack Ryan, has been given the assignment of following Ryan's Democratic opponent, state Sen. Barack Obama with a hand-held video camera, documenting his every public move.

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Wednesday, May 26,2004 6:26 p.m.

Despite a seeming barrage of lawsuits aimed to curb illegal filesharing, use of such engines as KaZaA, Morpheus and LimeWire are nevertheless on the rise, and high-profile old stalwarts like Metallica have upped the ante with their anti-MP3 rhetoric

The problem of Indie rock

I believe, when statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake of their public duties … they lead their country by a short route to chaos."

'Served' serves up audiences on DVD

By John Barnett · Wednesday, May 26,2004 6:20 p.m.

I always wondered how long it would take those boys from B2K and those other boys from IMx to get together and make a really crappy movie about street-dancing.

'Miracle' shoots, scores on DVD

By Tony Sams · Wednesday, May 26,2004 6:18 p.m.

Come-from-behind, feel-good, larger-than-yourself stories -- at least the kind on display in "Miracle," the story of the "miracle on ice" 1980 U.S. hockey team which is new to DVD -- are something that will never go out of style in movies.

By Mike Ley · Wednesday, May 26,2004 6:06 p.m.

L.A.'s heating up again. Bad attitudes are notorious -- a la www.buddyhead.com -- and the guitars are getting just as abrasive.

Coleman a shining light for women in blues

By Ryan Whirty · Wednesday, May 26,2004 6:05 p.m.

The blues has always been a largely male domain. Sure, we've had a slew of great vocalists, from Bessie Smith to Billie Holiday to Dinah Washington to Etta James to Koko Taylor.
