Don't forget your shower shoes

One good reason to wear shower shoes is to decrease your risk of getting warts. Warts are skin infections caused by the human papilloma virus family. The virus is spread by skin-to-skin contact and close physical contact in places like public showers and pools. You might have heard of HPV in the context of genital warts. Only certain members of the HPV family cause genital warts and cervical problems. There are more than 100 specific types of HPV, and most cause harmless but unsightly warts on the body.

Ballet master class offers direct line to Balanchine

A small price to pay

Five-year-old Daniel Abbott was born with an immune disorder and now experiences seizures. But from the way the small, brown-haired boy raced around Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning at the Wildermuth Gym in the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation during the 16th annual IU Dance Marathon, it was hard to tell. "We got here and he hit the ground running," said Shelley Abbott, Daniel's mother. "When everyone stopped dancing for the movie, he was running around and throwing up his hands like, 'What's going on? Let's dance!'" And he certainly had reason to celebrate. IUDM, which went from 8 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Sunday, shattered last year's fundraising record by more than $240,000. The event raised $920,386.20 for the Ryan White Center for Pediatric Infectious Disease at Riley Hospital for Children, which treats more than 200 children a month, including Daniel Abbott.

Indiana's 9th District is one of the closest House races in the country. Though the district traditionally leans Republican and President George W. Bush received 59 percent of the vote here in 2004, Democrat Baron Hill served as its representative from 1998 until 2004, when current Rep. Mike Sodrel, R-9th, defeated Hill by fewer than 1,500 votes. They first faced off in 2002 with Hill receiving 51 percent of the vote to Sodrel's 46 percent.
