Online only: Youth a bit old

By Brian J. McFillen , Johnathan P. Rossing and Jonathan P. Rossing · Thursday, Sept. 20,2007 12 a.m.

But while it doesn't get high points for originality, this is hardly the worst direction that Proof could have gone -- after all, it's much more fun than if GT had tried to prove their status as "serious artistes." You'll want to get TLS first, but if your booty still needs shakin' -- give Proof a call.

Powerful and riveting

By Doug Evans · Thursday, Sept. 20,2007 12 a.m.

Foster garnered her first Oscar nomination for her tragic portrayal of a teenage prostitute named Iris in 1976's "Taxi Driver." Thirty-one years later Foster is back in Oscar contention, this time as an antihero fighting for people like Iris. It's great to see her career come full-circle.

Frequency

By Dan Goshorn , Abdullah AlShihri and Andrew Taylor · Thursday, Sept. 20,2007 12 a.m.

Many music fans know this story by heart: In the late '90s, Clear Channel, working in league with the Priory of Scion and Megatron, brainwashed the Federal Communications Commission into changing radio ownership rules, allowing a few corporations to buy thousands of radio stations and standardize formats across the country. Thanks to this noble deed, Americans can rest easy knowing that the new Fergie single is achieving market saturation from coast to coast.

'Tales from the Crypt' gone ghetto

By Stefania Marghitu and Indira Dammu · Thursday, Sept. 20,2007 12 a.m.

The movie "Hood of Horror" is not your typical scary flick. It is an anthology adapted from the fictional comic book with the same title. As the tagline states, it ultimately depicts that life in the hood "ain't all good."

IU comes from behind again to earn 5th victory

By Ryan Gregg · Wednesday, Sept. 19,2007 11:54 p.m.

The IU women’s soccer team had to come from behind for the fourth time this season to overcome the Butler Bulldogs 2-1. Butler scored first as midfielder Courtney Lord soared a shot from 30 yards out that went over a mis-timed jump of Hoosier freshman goalkeeper Lauren Hollandsworth in the 19th minute. That goal would be Butler’s only score. Indiana’s first goal came on the board in the 63rd minute as sophomore midfielder Christie Kotynski headed in a shot to the back post, off of a cross from sophomore defender Kelly Lawrence. “We were ready to play again,” Kotynski said. “At halftime we came out ready to play, and (we) stepped up and won the game.”

When you need to clean

By Matt Peyton · Wednesday, Sept. 19,2007 11:52 p.m.

If cleanliness is next to Godliness, I’m going to hell. No if, ands or buts about it, sign me up for a one-way ticket. Over the past couple of weeks, I have slowly let things slip into a state of filth in my apartment. It really wouldn’t have been so bad, except I didn’t have time to take care of anything before I left for the weekend.

Hard pill to swallow

By Tristan Reitz · Wednesday, Sept. 19,2007 11:50 p.m.

A couple of days ago I was told by a flying bee on TV that I might need to buy some allergy medicine. Abe Lincoln and a beaver came on a bit later, touting the wonderful sleep I would get with their pill, the name of which I forget, because I was trying to understand what a beaver and Lincoln have to do with sleeping pills. (What person dreams of beavers and Lincoln?)

Offending Offensive

By Jonathan P. Rossing and Jonathon P. Rossing · Wednesday, Sept. 19,2007 11:49 p.m.

Another off-color joke, another raucous outcry. And this time, Jesus was involved. When comedian Kathy Griffin won an Emmy for her reality TV show “My Life on the D-List,” she delivered the following acceptance speech: “A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus.” As she held up her statuette, she proclaimed, “Suck it, Jesus! This award is my God now.” The audience laughed; the chorus of offended critics did not.

Road warrior

By Dave Dawson · Wednesday, Sept. 19,2007 11:48 p.m.

I hate driving in Bloomington. Yes, hate. I know it’s a strong word; I chose it on purpose. Normally I wouldn’t waste my time or energy hating something as trivial as traffic. However, using Bloomington’s road network and the University’s transportation system boils my blood on almost a daily basis. Here, let me put it into perspective: Sometimes it takes me up to 25 minutes to get from my apartment near Sam’s Club to, say, the Wells Library (just more than four miles) if I go in the morning or between 4 and 7 p.m. Some might call this “rush hour,” but in Bloomington? Give me a break. When I lived and went to school in Indianapolis, an actual city with a population about 10 times that of Bloomington, it took me the same 25 minutes to get from the north side to the heart of downtown (nearly 13 miles).

Remember people, not pain

Wednesday, Sept. 19,2007 11:45 p.m.

In the wake of the terrorist attacks on Sep. 11, 2001, there was an outpouring of support from all quarters, who tried to find ways to memorialize the event’s victims. “Never forget,” we said, and we were right. Sept. 11 became an event burned into our brains for eternity. Sadly, lives at IU were touched by the tragedy, and family members were lost. Then money began pouring in for scholarship funds.

What is art?

By Ryan Brown · Wednesday, Sept. 19,2007 11:09 p.m.

In the past week, I have had to wear dress pants, a button down shirt, a tie and black socks a total of three times, and I have hated every second of it. There’s something about the age of 20 that suddenly forces you to surrender your youthful whims in exchange for Dockers and professional maturity.

GQ ANNIVERSARY PARTY

Kanye West dominates 50 Cent by over 260,000 units

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody · Wednesday, Sept. 19,2007 11:02 p.m.

NEW YORK – It’s not like Kanye West needed an ego boost, but here it comes, anyway: His “Graduation” album trounced 50 Cent’s “Curtis” in their much-hyped rap sales showdown, selling nearly 1 million copies in its first week, making it the best debut of the year for the struggling music industry.
