MoreSOUDER: Pence, Long, Bosma swing differently at political curveballs
May 4, 2013
Mark Souder / Special to IBJEarly in the season in baseball, you can be leading the league in home runs because you can really hit a fastball, even if
you can’t hit a curveball. But in the major leagues, soon all you will see is curveballs. You either adjust or you are
gone.
MoreDANIELS: College grads must rise to the moment
May 4, 2013
Mitchell DanielsWe meet in a time of continued economic stagnation. Economic growth in 2012 was a depressing 1.5 percent, half the historic
average. Three million fewer Americans are employed than when this so-called recovery began. Economic inequality is growing,

from this recovery."

MoreWEINZAPFEL: Big challenges make political science as apt as ever
May 4, 2013

MoreWESTERHAUS-RENFROW: More black men in college than in prison
May 4, 2013
Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow / Special to IBJMy children grew up in an autocratic household with non-negotiable expectations. “You will make your bed before you
go to school.” “You will respect your elders and teachers.” And the biggest mandate, “You will
go to college.”
MoreDOWD: Can we get Hillary without the foolery?
May 4, 2013

MoreWAGNER: The rise of a new Hoosier swing voter
March 30, 2013

Irvington is up and coming much like Fountain Square. We would love to have something like this in our neighborhood!
Why do we care who has submitted proposals if we can't review the proposals? It's publicly owned land, but the public has zero say in what gets chosen to be built there. Yep, that sounds about right.
Perhaps May 21 is "Evangelical Day" over at the IBJ?
I don't know what's more depressing: that this passes for a defensible elective in a publicly funded SCIENCE class, or that more than half of the posters here are defending this charlatan. Intelligent design is creationism. Creationism is religion. Yes, we have freedom of religion, which deserves to be protected. Now someone kindly show Professor Hedin his freedom by escorting him over to the Religion department at BSU. Carry on.
I hope people realize that the 'vocal' opposition at the meeting represent the minority of people against this project. As with any controversial project - those who don't want it are the loudest, while those who like it or really don't care one way or the other don't come to such meetings. Unfortunately the same may be true of the survey now being offered by the BRVA. I live less than a 5 minute walk from BR Avenue and can tell you that I and most of my neighbors are support this exciting project, or are ambivalent. And how great that it includes quality apartments - something that BR sorely lacks. This is a first class opportunity that we should embrace (and no, I'm not with the BRVA or the developer.) As for the fellow who owns the Good Earth store, if he doesn't want competition then let him pull together his own investors and out bid Whole Foods to operate the proposed grocery component! Come on folks - let's move ahead.
