Money wasted on medical research
Lately, I've been told everything I do is going to kill me. I can't smoke, drink, eat meat or play with loaded handguns. Even sex can kill me, or so I'm told. Everything seems to cause cancer. And as if that's not enough, if the Catholic church is right, I'm about to go blind.
Jeffries, Haston receive Big Ten honors
The know-it-alls of men's basketball -- coaches and select media -- put their numbers and notes together this weekend and came up with the Big Ten's elite men's basketball players. Near the top of the list was freshman forward Jared Jeffries, who was unanimously chosen Big Ten Freshman of the Year. With a tattoo that reads, "King of the Court" and the best numbers of any freshman in the Big Ten, there was little doubt of Jeffries' confidence or talent. But if IU interim head coach Mike Davis had the last word, there's no question junior center Kirk Haston would've been named Player of the Year, an honor that went to Illinois sophomore guard Frank Williams.

Cooking easy with preparation, practice
