Partying like it’s 2013

MoreHicks: The real cause of brain drain? Quality of life

this problem by pushing more students into majors that are in demand elsewhere.

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.
MoreISO editorial unfounded

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,
and unprecedented trillions in transfer payments have not reversed the trend. It was well said that, "We need a recovery
from this recovery."

future sessions.

If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.
John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.
I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.
Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.
