Demonstration accounts differ

·

A downtown bike-ride protest turned ugly Friday when a skirmish with police led to seven arrests. It's now uglier, with accusations flying on both sides. Police shut down Friday's "Critical Mass" bike ride -- a monthly event celebrating alternative modes of transportation -- for obstructing traffic along North Walnut Avenue.

Around The Game

Crew team battles windy conditions, altered courses Windy weather forced the crew team to deal with delayed and re-routed race courses at the Jayhawk Invitational in Lawrence, Kan., Saturday and Sunday. But the Hoosiers handled Mother Nature and the rest of the six-team field by capping off their weekend with a first-place finish in the novice four boat competition.

The Academy has some explaining to do

·

Someone please explain to me how it is that "Gladiator" walked away proudly with the most highly recognized if not most publicized award in the film industry? Unlike the Academy (it appears), I watched some of the other films that were nominated for Best Picture -- and I promise "Gladiator"'s win was a mistake.

Wake up your taste buds with flavorful pasta dish

The e-mail from my sister came last week with a three-word subject line: desperately seeking flavor. "I make dinner, I put it on my plate, eat two bites, then collapse from boredom," she wrote. "Every-thing I make these days tastes so bland, so blah, so … March. Send recipes forthwith."

Ask the Sexpert

·

Dear Sexpert, My partner and I have been enjoying ourselves a lot lately, and we have a very good sex life. We like sex a lot and I want to have it frequently, as does he, but I get sore after a few sexual encounters in a short period of time. I am lucky enough to have multiple orgasms nearly every time we have sex, but I want to increase the number of times we have sex. Is there any correlation between the soreness and the multiple orgasms? Is there anything I can do to not be sore, any exercise or technique? Is it bad to keep having sex if I'm sore?
