41st annual bluegrass festival in Bean Blossom begins

By Kelly Cochran · Wednesday, June 13,2007 7:22 p.m.

The twang of a banjo, the pluck of the guitar and the experience of a lifetime is music to the ears of Bill Monroe Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival attendees.

Vanquish identity theft

Wednesday, June 13,2007 7:18 p.m.

How much would you say you download in a single week? Not just music. Count all the pictures, movies and assorted documents you find while stumbling around The Internet. Don’t forget the links your friends send you in instant messages, which more often than not direct you to some hacker’s Web site in Russia instead of a buddy’s MySpace page. There’s no telling how much you download; you probably don’t notice most of it.

The world’s other great college weekend

By Jonathan Hines · Wednesday, June 13,2007 6:05 p.m.

What would college sports be like without scholarships, alumni, multimillion-dollar facilities or coaches who rake in more per year than state governors?

Adams remembered as warm-hearted

By Kailtin Shawgo · Monday, June 11,2007 12 a.m.

If the old cliche of a picture being worth a thousand words holds true, IU Student Media Director Dave Adams could have filled a novel. Ten poster boards with pictures lined a hallway that more than 100 people passed through on their way to pay their respects to the man many simply knew as “Dadams.”

‘As I Lay Dying’ an apt title

By Lindsey Landis · Sunday, June 10,2007 8:53 p.m.

I started reading William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying” more than a week ago.
