IU sports chat with H-T's Doug Wilson & Chris Korman

First things first: do I have your permission to tell Doug his work as sports editor is "papapapathethic" next time I'm angry? Seems like a good word, one that could be delivered with force. Papapapathethic! I haven't yet watched the film of last night's game and don't know that I'll have time to give it a good review. But maybe during the Penn State game I'll do a true statistical analysis (and by that, I mean I'll try to keep track on a yellow legal pad) of how many times Gordon drives to the basket and loses the ball. And I'd bet your home in lovely Oregon that it's not anywhere near half the time. Or even 30 percent of the time. Still, I see I what you're saying. And all I can say is that great players -- and Gordon is one -- need the ball in their hands. Wayne Gretzky said you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take.

Is Tory plan to vet films censorship?

If tax credits are up for review at a time after the film has been produced (which is when you apply for them--it's impossible to beforehand) the banks will hire risk-assessment consultants to review the film for potential 'policy' deviations before they lend the money to the production to finance those same tax credits. Otherwise the banks will sometimes lose their money.

Two mainstays of Osage City Hall both mark 20 years on the job

It just kind of takes care of itself with new things happening all the time. In between the unexpected, the normal operations still must get done as well. I also enjoy working with the public. Most times when people do get upset, they just want to know what is going on so that they can deal with it."Moore continued, "Most importantly, I really enjoy my co-workers at City Hall. "Most of them have also been here over 20 years so we're like family. The Police Department makeup is entirely different from when I first started and two people in Public Works were here when I started. Everyone is great to work with and I've also enjoyed working with those who have retired along the way."In her free time (if she can find some), Moore enjoys knitting, cross-stitching, rug hooking, reading, Sudoku and walking.Cathy Penney was born and raised on a farm near Cherokee, Iowa.

Surprise Result: Fray Posters Love Slate

But the real triumph of the iPod should be credited to Apple's marketing department. Apple is one of the best at the "lifestyle" products game. There was no technological revolution, but it sure felt like one. That's mission accomplished in the product development biz. And again the genius of the iPod's visual design was to make it easily distinguishable at first sight. Back in the winter of '01-'02, anyone could immediately spot the trend setters. It was all about those white headphones.

On Native Ground

Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has been blessed with a Congress unwilling to take on the White House and a news media too easily distracted by shiny baubles to do any real reporting.

Messrs. Bush and Cheney certainly hope they'll leave town unscathed. But little by little, the carefully built stone wall that has protected the Administration from prosecution is starting to crumble.

Last week, former White House press secretary Scott McClellan admitted that he made false statements, albeit unintentionally, regarding Mr. Bush's political advisor, Karl Rove, and and Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby's involvement in the Bush Administration's plot to discredit former Ambassador Joseph Wilson.

Wilson, as you may recall, wrote a column in The New York Times in the summer of 2003 that debunked one part of the Administration's bogus case for invading Iraq - that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger.
