Skull found near home of missing girl

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 2:31 a.m.

STONEVILLE, N.C. -- Authorities and search dogs descended on a rural area where a small human skull was found Wednesday, some 30 miles from where a 9-year-old Virginia girl disappeared last month. The officials included a contingent from Henry County, Va., where police have been hunting for Jennifer Short since Aug. 15. Officials believe the girl was kidnapped after her parents were slain in their Henry County home. The skull "appears to be from somebody young," said Jeannie Justice, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Office in Rockingham County.

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 2:23 a.m.

NANJING, China -- The U.S. women's basketball team wasn't about to make the same mistake as the men. The United States beat Russia 79-74 on Wednesday for its second straight Women's World Basketball Championship. The title came just weeks after the U.S. men's team finished an embarrassing sixth in the World Championship in Indianapolis. "I think we have redeemed them. But we have all learned a big lesson from the men," tournament MVP Lisa Leslie said. "We just can't get complacent."

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 2:22 a.m.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Easily one of the NFL's greatest talents, Randy Moss has never made things easy on himself or his teammates. Problems on and off the field have been just as much a part of Moss' playing career as touchdowns and tough catches.

Irsay needs to support fans, not alienate them

By Alyson Brodsy and Benjy Ekhaus · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 2:20 a.m.

Owning a company is a difficult thing to do. There are so many facets that go into running an organization well that it is a wonder how CEOs of these businesses do not lose their heads due to the high stress. Take Jim Irsay, for example. The owner and CEO of the Indianapolis Colts has had it real tough. The man is the real life version of the American success story. He started out with an idea, stuck with it through the hard times, and eventually, he managed to break through the blood and sweat.

Oh, how I hate Ohio State

By Alyson Brodsy and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 2:19 a.m.

Mary had a little lamb was not my first nursery rhyme. In fact, while my little playmates were singing about lambs and falling bridges, I was singing, Oh, how I hate Ohio State. Now, my parents didn't encourage, or condone, hatred of any kind. But my mom was, and is, a rabid Michigan fan, and for anyone that doesn't know, to a true Wolverine, the Buckeyes are the anti-Christ.

Racial awareness group wants answers

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 1:57 a.m.

When two white men walked through the IU Main Library wearing Afro wigs and painted black faces, on the morning of Aug. 23, 2002, they passed junior Nicole Watkins. Watkins at first tried to ignore them, but began to shake after she sat down. After searching for the men, she decided to contact the Dean of Students' office, but felt the staff was uncooperative. "This is a white school, and it was an African-American incident," Watkins said.

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 1:56 a.m.

Former Costa Rican President and 1987 Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias, clothed in a simple, navy suit and a quiet spirit of humility, walked to the podium Wednesday night and began his speech before the standing-room only Ballantine Hall crowd not with a powerful quote or suspense-inducing tale, but by thanking the audience for having him. It was Arias' second of two Patten lectures in a series at IU. His speech was entitled "Moral Leadership in the New Century."

Soundtrack solid, but not stellar

By Mike D’Avria · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 1:27 a.m.

This is the story of 21 bands thrown onto a CD to create a soundtrack for a series that just won't go away. Don't try to fight it -- no matter what happens in this shaky world filled with a lousy economy and war-torn countries, there will always be a new season of MTV's "Road Rules."

Waifs' album floats to the top

By Mike D’Avria and Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 1:24 a.m.

As I look at my CD collection I try to compare Sink or Swim to some of the albums I own. Not being able to compare the Waifs' most recent album to anything I have bought, since I realize I have never really listened to upbeat folksy/pop music, I try to fully grasp what possible interest I could have with it. But after listening through Sink or Swim, I ask myself why I haven't ever listened to this genre before.

Crystal, Goodman in monster form

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 1:15 a.m.

"Monsters, Inc.," the latest film produced through the team-up of Disney and Pixar Animation Studios (the others being the "Toy Story" films and "A Bug's Life") was one of the most pleasant cinematic surprises of last year. I was initially turned off by the prospect of seeing some ham-fisted kid's flick, contrary to my deep like for the original "Toy Story." I was surprised that the film was not only both side-splittingly funny and very touching at times, but also just as geared towards adults as it was to children. Those of you who shared a similar viewpoint should seek out "Monsters, Inc." now that it's available in a beautifully produced two-DVD set.
