Women are top leaders in Hoosier public health posts

Dr. Judith Monroe, Dr. Virginia Caine and G. Marie Swanson are three local women who have risen to leadership positions
in the health care community.
MoreMeasured strides in science: Engineering, science still male dominated
November 12, 2007
When the 2007 Nobel Prize winners in science were announced in October, it didn't take a mathematical wizard to calculate
the number of women who won the eminent prize in the field of science. Zero. Women and men might wonder: was the shutout because
of gender discrimination or innate ability? "No one wants to be a sexist, but whether we like it or not we make assessments
based on all kinds of factors, including gender," said Carol McCord, assistant dean...
MoreIs justice blind?: Few women in Indiana are appointed to high judiciary posts
October 8, 2007
It is still unusual to have women presiding over a court of law-so much so that when three women judges heard cases together
on Sept. 28 in the 5th District Court of Appeals in Richland County, Ohio, it made history and national news. Should it come
as a surprise that the symbol for justice is a woman? "Well that is a symbol, but the reality is that it is still a male-dominated
profession," said Maria Pabón López, an associate professor...

First, let me say that I love the idea of communities being self-sufficient and people in the community not needing cars, living, working and shopping all in their neighborhood. To sum it up; I love good urban planning and hate urban sprawl. However, there are two reasons that I am against this development. First, this building doesn't fit. Density can occur in Ripple by building up top the street and better use of land. The scale of this project should be downtown. Secondly, I would be willing to bet that if a whole foods in Ripple is built, the Nora store would be closed. Here's my reasoning. The Nora Whole Foods expansion plans have been put on hold. I'm guessing they are waiting to see what happens with the Ripple proposal. Communities next to each other should work together to end sprawl and not work against each other and take other neighbors assets. Develop something both communities can be proud of and will attract more development and density. There's my soap box for the day.
My apologies, Lou - it was the Indy Star that printed cost for entertaining "celebrities" during Indy 500. Sorry for confusing the always timely IBJ with Indy's Gannett reprint news source.
That's fine if you want a grocery store that has festivals and live music. I guess with the prices they charge, they can afford to host such activities. As for me, I choose to spend my money more wisely and if I want to go to a festival or a concert, I will pay for that separately - not through my grocery bill.
TIF is not just to attract development but to attract a higher use for that development. Carmel wisely is using TIF for numerous public parking garages. Asphalt seas of parking pay little taxes and bring even less value to a commercial area. Also density is what is going to save Indy and Broad Ripple. The days of trying to compete with burbs are long gone.
The Prestige was an awesome movie.
