IU celebrates spatial technology

By Andrea Knapp · Tuesday, May 29,2007 4:44 p.m.

During Geographic Information Systems Day 2006, everyone at IU could learn about GIS and its uses. According to a GIS pamphlet, the systems combine software, computers, geographic data and people to perform spatial analyses of patterns on Earth's surface. The multibillion-dollar industry converts the rows and columns in databases and spreadsheets to maps displaying locations, routes and features, according to the University Information Technology Services Web site. The Web site also said IU staff provides support for GIS technologies on all of the IU campuses and helps with state efforts in structuring a map for Indiana.

The Fountain: Film: D+ Extras: B-

By Jacob Stewart and Kirk Nathanson · Thursday, May 24,2007 12 a.m.

Ever sit around and listen to two people discuss the meaning of life over beer and pizza? The conversation is generally disjointed and confusing, leaving significant questions unanswered and coming to no concrete conclusion. Now imagine that same conversation, only this time between two filmmakers. The result? A mess that writers Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel call The Fountain.

Supporting the Show

By Erin Riley · Thursday, May 24,2007 12 a.m.

And then the cue comes. 15 minutes is all the crew has to paint faces, change wardrobes, swap props, revamp the set and adjust the lights. In the dressing room, echoes of opera music can be heard from the hallways. Moss repaints the faces of four actors in record time, while Riehle rushes around the stage, completely unseen by the audience, adjusting prop placements, getting actors ready to re-enter the stage and making any last second changes. Percy directs it all on the headset.

Lindsay Lohan has trouble adapting to Fonda and 'Georgia Rule.'

Georgia Rule: B

By Kristi Oloffson · Thursday, May 24,2007 12 a.m.

For Lohan, this movie is definitely an improvement from her former movies like Mean Girls and Just My Luck, though nothing compares to the glory days of The Parent Trap. And although I would still rather have seen someone else in Lohan's role, perhaps director Gary Marshall just couldn't think of another actress with such a natural affinity for playing a spoiled brat.

Black Book: A-

By Chris Wisner , Aparna Venkatraman and Harini Gopalakrishnan · Thursday, May 24,2007 12 a.m.

While it is a bit on the hefty side (145 minutes), "Black Book" is an entertaining flick which captures Verhoeven on his road to directorial recovery and the bright, beautiful van Houten on her way to bigger career opportunities.
