Study: IU researchers may have found cure for testicular cancer

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, July 27,2007 10:08 a.m.

Researchers at IU’s School of Medicine may have discovered a way to cure testicular cancer in patients who do not respond to initial chemotherapy, according to a report in the New England Journal of Medicine. The treatment calls for high doses of chemotherapy followed by infusions of the patients’ own peripheral-blood stem cells.

Simpson Edumacation

By Brian J. McFillen · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

But despite the admonishment of the genius mind behind Flaming Moes, moon waffles and Skittlebrau, academics have sought to probe into what lies behind "The Simpsons" -- the show's significance, that is, not Homer's crack.

'This things I believe': WEEKEND's favorite Simpsons video games

By Chris Freiberg · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

Though it's taken nearly two decades for the Simpson family to hit the big screen, Springfield's favorite family has had a strong presence in the world of video gaming since the days of the NES. Unfortunately, there is an unmistakable cone of suckiness surrounding most of these games. Still, the following three games are perfectly cromulent pieces of Simpsons software.

IU junior Lance Stemler drives around two Michigan State defenders Saturday night at Michigan State. Stemler had 7 points against the Spartans in the 66-58 loss, just above his season average of 6.9 points per game. The Hoosiers play at Northwestern tonight in what is a crucial game to determine the final Big Ten standings for the Hoosiers.

The Simpsons are going to caricatures

By Zack Teibloom and Joe Livarchik and Matt Mattucci · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

7-Eleven = Kwik-E

By Zack T Bloom and Ken Kusmer · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

Don't be fooled, it's just Fruit Loops inside the Krusty O's box, but holding that sweet, sweet packaging you'll recognize "The Simpsons Movie" as the biggest promotion of the summer.

Amazing what a decade can do. Christopher Walken and John Travolta look a little different since we last saw them together in ‘Pulp Fiction.’

Hairspray: B+

By Jacob Stewart · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

As far as musicals go, I prefer the stage to the cinema. The silk screen, while gaining new and innovative ways to tell stories, loses something a live performance has. That said, the new release of the classic "Hairspray" is a fun film that teaches serious lessons and features some amazing vocal performances.

By Karly Tearney · Wednesday, July 25,2007 8:47 p.m.

Forget about the usual peanuts and Cracker Jacks. It’s time for the fair. Bloomington residents can finally enjoy elephant ears, local farm-raised animals and trucks covered in mud all in one place at the week long Monroe County Fair.
