Budget woes continue for Bloomington

By Lindsey Jancek and Lindsay Jancek · Thursday, April 15,2004 12:49 a.m.

For the second time in three weeks, Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan addressed the $500,000 shortfall from the 2004 income taxes. The problem comes in light of the city misprojecting the amount it was going to receive in the City Option Income Tax. The city initially projected to receive about $6.8 million in revenue, but because the city only makes estimates based on the previous year, there was no concrete number.

HBCU's & the IMU

By Alyson Brodsy and Melanie Sims · Thursday, April 15,2004 12:28 a.m.

Feel like you're missing out on the whole Historically Black College or University experience you saw on the hit Cosby-spinoff "A Different World?" It's OK. I did, too. Then I learned a trick. And I was able to mentally transport myself to Hillman College. Quite literally, I could see the light reflecting off Dwayne Wayne's flip-up shades.

The long dark tea-time of the soul

By Alyson Brodsy and Paul Musgrave · Thursday, April 15,2004 12:27 a.m.

SHANGHAI -- At times these past two months, it's been rough going as I've struggled to master Mandarin Chinese. "Master" Chinese? Perhaps "become acquainted with" is a better description of the progress I've made. I can finally get around by myself without referring to my trusty Lonely Planet guide to Shanghai, but having a conversation is still a hit-and-miss affair. Even ordering coffee has only recently joined my conversational skills; I had been drinking only cappuccinos because I couldn't quite figure out how to order an American-style brew.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

By Alyson Brodsy and Jack Silverstein · Thursday, April 15,2004 12:25 a.m.

One of life's great truths is no matter what happens, life goes on. Like all great truths packaged into an aphorism, Life Goes On has become a cliché, but it is true, nonetheless. But as true as it is, sometimes that concept feels like an impossibility. There are days when it feels like life shouldn't go on -- days when people die, relationships end, problems pile up and you can't understand how the rest of the world can just continue on with the daily grind.

Lawsuits have become a part of our everyday lives. McDonald's has been sued for selling coffee that was "too hot" and selling food that "makes you fat."

Time needed for post-Sept. 11 changes WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Enormous intelligence and law enforcement gaps that contributed to the Sept. 11 attacks are being filled, but it will take years for America to build the systems needed to effectively combat terrorists, the heads of the FBI and CIA said Wednesday.

Film makes a massacre of 'The Alamo'

By Doug Evans · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

Another historical war movie hits theaters, and while the historic aspects of "The Alamo" are fascinating to see on the big screen, the Hollywood vision weakens what could have been a wonderful film.

Godsmack shows its 'Other Side'

By Benjames Derrick and Benjamin Derrick · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

After a six month delay, it is finally here. With underdeveloped melodies and an emotional core, Godsmack makes up for its first three albums with the acoustic EP, The Other Side. Taking influence from Alice in Chains and sharing its name with a song from 1992's Dirt, Godsmack made this EP eerily similar to 1993's Jar of Flies.

'Ella' is truly 'Enchanted'

By -Kehla West · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

Ella of Frell, a spunky young motherless girl, is cursed from birth to be totally obedient -- to anyone and everyone. She lives in a magical, ogre/dwarf/giant inhabited world, and minutes into the movie, she gets a wicked stepmother and two evil stepsisters.

Phish frontman loses jam band flim-flam

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

'Mix'-ing it up in 'The O.C.'

By Ben Warden · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

Before I begin my review of Music from The O.C.: Mix 1, let me inform you of something: I love "The O.C.," I watch it every week without fail, and it captivates me.

FOR THE FANS

Songs in the key of crap

By John Barnett · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that William Hung's Inspiration is the most legitimate product ever spawned from the "American Idol" empire. That's not really saying much, seeing as how most '80s Neil Diamond albums are far better than anything by Kelly, Clay or Ruben, but it's at least saying something.

Support local music?

By Greg O'Neill · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

Transparency time: I am in a local rock band, I have friends in local rock bands and it profits me (usually just in beer, but sometimes monetarily) for people to go to local rock shows.

Uninspired 'Revolution:' 'Matrix' flops

By Sam Shahrani · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

Warner Brothers has never been renowned for their spectacular DVD's, commonly using cheap paper DVD cases and other shoddy materials. As such, it's no surprise that "The Matrix Revolutions" continues this proud tradition of mediocrity, both in its packaging and content.
