For the past 10 years, BBC Fellows has been funded by a $750,000 grant from the Lilly Endowment given every five years, which was matched by the university for a total of $1.5 million. Fallon said there are no other grants or funding opportunities for the future in the works now, but they are still looking.

Purdue staff NEW RECORD TAKES BACKSEAT TO WINNING remains calls speech Quarterback humble despite setting career milestone into question new | FOOTBALL
Mitch Daniels may have broken promise not to speak on politics during speech, some faculty say | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Some faculty members at Purdue University are questioning whether Mitch Daniels violated his pledge to avoid partisan politics as the school’s president by deciding to speak at a fundraiser for a conservative Minnesota think tank. Daniels spoke Monday in Minneapolis before supporters of the Center of the American Experiment, which promoted the speech as a review of the Republican’s eight years as Indiana governor. The group promotes itself as MITCH DANIELS backing right-to-work legislation, lower taxes and doing “nothing Purdue less than shifting Minnesota’s inUniversity tellectual and political center of President gravity to the right.” Daniels’ choice to speak at the fundraiser breaks the pledge of avoiding partisan activities he made when accepting the Purdue presidency last year, English and American studies professor Bill Mullen told the Journal & Courier. “There’s no reason the president of Purdue should be out giving public talks on lowering taxes in other states,” Mullen said.
broken the record set in 2008. Ball State’s 47-28 victory was the only thing on his mind. Wenning rushed for one touchdown in the victory, and added two more through the air. His second, a 72-yard deep ball to sophomore receiver Jordan Williams, broke the record. Williams was called on to pick up the slack as Willie Snead, Ball State’s leading receiver, left the game due to dehydration. Following his absence, Ball State was forced to run its offense with just two wide receivers. Offensive coordinator Rich Skrosky said Williams’ stepping up was big, but it didn’t completely alleviate
DAKOTA CRAWFORD CHIEF REPORTER @DakotaCrawford_
A broken record won’t break the stride of Ball State’s offense. Senior quarterback Keith Wenning now holds the Ball State record for passing yards in a career. His celebration was short-lived, if at all. “It hasn’t really [sunk in] yet,” Wenning said. “You can’t think about it too much, or it’s going to hurt you.” After last week’s win over Virginia, Wenning didn’t know he had
the offense’s struggles. “We’ve got a handful (of receivers) that are hurt, and then Willie [Snead] went down with dehydration,” Skrosky said. “That really made it tough to manage.” Ball State, like it has for several weeks, was able to rely on its rushing attack. Junior running back Jahwan Edwards ran the ball 24 times for 155 yards and three touchdowns. Skrosky said the balance the team has established is critical to keeping the offense clicking. In three consecutive games, Ball State has rushed the ball at least 36 times.

EFFECTS OF DEBT CEILING DEBATE Economy in danger if parties can’t agree to lift borrowing limit | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The U.S. Treasury Department warned Thursday that the economy could plunge into a downturn worse than the Great Recession if Congress fails to raise the federal borrowing limit and the country defaults on its debt obligations. A default could cause the nation’s credit markets to freeze, the value of the dollar to plummet and U.S. interest
EFFECTS ON GLOBAL MARKETS
WASHINGTON (AP) — A possible national default loomed closer on Monday as the partial government shutdown lingered, rattling markets in the U.S. and overseas. A gridlocked Congress betrayed little or no urgency toward resolving either of the threats. Stocks got a case of the jitters on Wall Street, and halfway around the world China stressed the importance for the international economy of raising the U.S. debt limit. “Safeguarding the debt is of vital importance to the economy of the U.S. and the world,” Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. China holds $1.277 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds, second only to Japan.

rates to skyrocket, according to the Treasury report. Treasury officials hope by laying out potential consequences they will be able to bring pressure on Congress to act. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has said he will have used up the extraordinary measures at his disposal for avoiding a breach of the debt ceiling by Oct. 17. After that, the government will have around $30 billion of cash on hand. The report looked at the disruptions caused to financial markets during a similar standoff between the administration and Congress over raising the debt limit. It then made projections about what
could occur if there were an actual default. In August 2011, Congress eventually raised the nation’s borrowing limit before a default occurred but only after a protracted debate. The politics that nearly led to a default prompted Standard & Poor’s to cut the nation’s credit rating by a notch. “As we saw two years ago, prolonged uncertainty over whether our nation will pay its bills in full and on time hurts our economy,” Lew said in a statement. “Postponing a debt ceiling increase to the very last minute is exactly what our economy does not need — a self-inflicted wound harming families and businesses.”

THE U.S. CAPITOL appears under cloudy skies Sept. 28. House Speaker John Boehner’s plan to avert a shutdown by shifting to a debt ceiling fight ran into opposition from some Republicans in another setback for efforts to keep the U.S. government operating after Sept. 30.
REPUBLICAN’S VIEW ON DEFAULT
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama called the top Republican in the GOP-controlled House Tuesday, telling Speaker John Boehner once again that he won’t negotiate over reopening the government or must-pass legislation to prevent a U.S. default on its obligations. In the second week of the partial government shutdown, Obama’s call, revealed by Boehner’s office, came as the speaker softened the tone of his rhetoric in remarks to the media. The White House said Obama would hold a news conference Tuesday afternoon. The White House also confirmed the call and said Obama repeated to Boehner “what he told him when they met at the White House last week: the president is willing to negotiate with Republicans — after the threat of government shutdown and default have been removed — over policies that Republicans think would strengthen the country.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hard-line House Republicans are dismissing dire warnings that a government default would wreck U.S. and world economies as another case of hyperbole from an Obama administration that cried wolf about the likely impacts of automatic spending cuts and partially shutting down the government. In the House, conservatives now are challenging Treasury Secretary Jack Lew’s insistence that on Oct. 17 the United States will no longer be able to borrow, making a first-ever government default imminent. “I don’t think we’re ever going to default,” said Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla. “We’ll always service our sovereign debt.” Not true, says Lew. He says there is no option to prevent default “if we don’t have enough cash to pay our bills.” While Treasury expects to have $30 billion of cash on hand on Oct. 17, that money will be quickly exhausted in paying incoming bills, Lew said. 72HRS EDITOR Ryan Howe FORUM EDITOR Devan Filchak

4 DOWNS Homecoming opponent has two key playmakers for Ball State to contain MATT McKINNEY SPORTS EDITOR | @Matt_D_McKinney
1
THE GOLDEN FLASHES HAVE A VERSATILE RUNNING BACK
Senior running back Dri Archer has had success playing against Ball State over his career. In last season’s matchup, Archer had eight carries for 72 yards, three catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns. He also scored on a kickoff return, going 99 yards for the score. The 5-foot-8 player averaged nine yards-per-carry in 2012. LEMBO’S TAKE: “You’ll see Archer in slot back position and routes designed to go to him. You’ll also see him in speed sweeps. There will be other times when they line him up in a tailback position, either under center in two-back sets or offset in the shotgun in one-back sets, where they can do a lot of different things with him.”
2
KENT STATE HAS A DEFENSIVE PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior defensive tackle Roosevelt Nix has been a force this season. He’s tied for first in the Mid-American Conference with seven tackles with seven. He had four tackles for loss in the loss to Bowling Green. The 2012 All-MAC First Teamer also has one sack on the season. LEMBO’S TAKE: “I think he’s one of the best players in our league. He’s an impact player. He’s not a big player. He plays big. He plays hard. He’s a smart
player. This guy can really torque his body and does an unbelievable job beating double teams.”
3
BALL STATE HAS FORCED MORE TURNOVERS IN 2013
The Cardinals lead the country in forced fumbles with 10, and are third in the country in total turnovers gained with 16. At the mi point, six games in, they’ve surpassed last season’s turnover total (14). Coaches have said forcing fumbles is a more integral part of practice this season. Safety Brian Jones leads the team with a pair of forced fumbles.
LEMBO’S TAKE: “We seized the momentum when we had a shot at it. We didn’t just get the turnovers, we were able to finish drives and get points off those turnovers.”
4
CONNOR RYAN IS BACK FROM A THUMB INJURY
Senior wide Connor Ryan missed two weeks with a thumb injury. He’s been a staple of Ball State’s team throughout his career and was named a 2012 Team Captain. Ryan has 11 career starts.
LEMBO’S TAKE: “Connor Ryan comes back, playing through a lot of pain with a cast on his hand, and has some key tackles on special teams.”
WENNING: Senior on pace for single season record | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Wenning has passed for at least 300 yards in every game this season, and is on pace to break the Ball State singleseason passing record in addition to his career records. Even if Wenning were aware of the records he might break, he wouldn’t be talking about them. Gameto-game accolades and career milestones alike, Wenning looks at them with the same attitude. “He’s just really humble about everything,” fifth-year senior Zane Fakes said. “If you ask him, he won’t take credit for it, he’ll deflect the credit to everyone else.” Sure enough, Wenning said credit for his career passing record should go to the offensive line, the receivers
and the coaching staff he has worked with over the years. “I never did anything alone,” Wenning said. “I’ve had a lot of guys help me.” Fakes is a year older than Wenning, but played in the same four seasons due to his eligibility. He said it’s been a growing process – from not playing really good at all, to playing “some good football.” Ball State is scoring 41.3 points and averaging 478 yards per game. With 2,868 yards, the Cardinals are ranked eighth nationally in total offense. “It’s fun,” Fakes said of playing with this high-powered offense. “It’s really cool for the entire offense to know that every snap we’re going to have one of the best quarterbacks in the nation.” Either way, Wenning won’t think about it too much.
FRIDAY The Ball State women’s volleyball team will play a home match against Western Michigian at 7 p.m.

Hague ties MAC record Junior still has time to raise number of conference victories
|
DAKOTA CRAWFORD CHIEF REPORTER @DakotaCrawford_
Though she just won the sixth event of her career, Jenna Hague is nowhere near finished. The junior from Ontario, Canada tied the Mid-American Conference record for individual wins in a career with six after taking first-place honors at Monday’s tournament, The Preview. “I didn’t now about [the record],” Hague said. “I didn’t really know it existed, so it never even crossed my mind. It’s really cool that I have so much time left too.” The fact that Hague has tied the record just beyond the midpoint of her career is exciting for head coach Katherine Mowat. “It’s phenomenal.” Mowat said. “... It’s awesome to have Ball State on the map in that regard.

Junior Jenna Hague watches her ball after teeing off during the Cardinal Classic on Sept. 23, 2012. Hague tied the MAC record for career victories recently.
She’s a true champion, and we’ll see more wins from her.” With just four events in the books this year, Hague has already won two events. She’ll have five more opportunities to win before the 2013 MAC Tournament begins, but she’s looking forward to getting team wins. Her main focus coming into
the season was to be a “true number one” golfer for Ball State’s team. Hague said that attitude can have a ripple effect on everything else. “She is what makes us great,” Mowat said. “She is what makes the rest of my team want to do better, and want to be better. Her good
individual scores lead to our good team scores.” The Cardinals have finished second in both tournaments that Hague won this year. Even in the team’s less impressive finishes, she has been consistent. Though the team finished 11th in the Cardinal Cup, and 13th in the Golfweek Conference Challenge, Hague placed in the top 10 individually. Mowat said no one works harder than Hague, but heading into The Preview she was unable to put in the practice she wanted to. Rain prevented her from practicing the weekend before, and again in the practice rounds at the tournament. Hague had a lot of question marks going into this tournament. She was able to put good rounds together to capture the record-tying win. “It’s just unbelievable that I have progressed to that point in my career so far,” she said. And she still isn’t finished.

INDIANAPOLIS UP FOR 2018 SUPER BOWL 3 cities selected as finalists for chance at hosting big game | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The 2018 Super Bowl could be headed back to a recent host city. Or to one that hasn’t staged the game in more than two decades. New Orleans and Indianapolis, the sites of the past two Super Bowls, and Minneapolis are the three finalists to host the NFL championship game in ‘18. Those cities were selected from
a pool of six at the owners’ meetings Tuesday. Should Lucas Oil Stadium get the game, it would be the first cold-weather stadium to host two Super Bowls. “It proves that Indianapolis is really a unique city, being a medium-sized market in a colder market, without 80 degrees and beaches,” Colts owner Jim Irsay said. “I think we have the unique ability in Indianapolis to really deliver a Super Bowl that gets pulled off in a way that’s special.” New Orleans has hosted 10 Super Bowls, including last February’s game that was interrupted by a blackout. That apparently didn’t bother the owners during

Tuesday’s selection process. “The Super Bowl is a celebration of unparalleled magnitude. What better time for New Orleans to host its record 11th Super Bowl than during a party 300 years in the making?” Jay Cicero, Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation president and CEO, said of the city’s 2018 tri-centennial. Minneapolis last hosted the title game in January 1992. The NFL often rewards a city for building a new stadium with a Super Bowl, as was done in recent years for Detroit, the Phoenix area, the Dallas area and Indianapolis.
The 2018 Super Bowl will be awarded next May. The next four Super Bowls are in New Jersey, Arizona, Santa Clara, Calif., and Houston. The NFL will play three regular-season games at London’s Wembley Stadium next year, hosted by the Jaguars, Falcons and Raiders. It will be the most games the league has played abroad in one year. This season was the first one with two games: Minnesota beat Pittsburgh 34-27 in September, and Jacksonville will host San Francisco on Oct. 27 as part of a fouryear commitment to move a home game to Wembley.

Republicans and Democrats are still unable to reach an agreement on a federal budget to end the partial shutdown. A bipartisan vote is needed to have enough votes to pass any budget resolutions, because there are not enough members of one party to reach the number needed. Votes on any continuing resolutions have contin-

ACCUSATIONS EXPOSE TROUBLING CHILD ABUSE BY MINNESOTA PRIESTS Former employee says Archbishop failed to protect kids | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PAUL, Minnesota — When Jennifer Haselberger uncovered what looked like recent, troubling sexual behavior by several Minnesota priests — a stash of possible child pornography on one priest’s computer hard drive, another with a well-documented history of sexual compulsion still leading a parish — she tried to ring alarm bells at the top ranks of the St. PaulMinneapolis Archdiocese. But Haselberger, who resigned last April as the archdiocese’s chancellor for canonical affairs, said she felt ignored. She has since gone public with concerns that Minnesota’s archbishop and top deputies failed to truly reform how they handle problem priests, despite repeated promises to do so. “I do not believe it can be said that the archdiocese is honoring its promise to protect” children and young people, Haselberger said last week in a statement to the media. Unlike many of the abuse revelations that have rocked
the U.S. Catholic Church, the allegations Haselberger brought to light aren’t decades old or involve perpetrators long retired or dead. They all happened after 2002, when U.S. bishops held a high-profile meeting in Dallas and approved broad policy changes meant to quickly remove predatory priests from parishes and restore the church’s tattered credibility with millions of Catholics. “They weren’t just going to sweep stuff under the rug. They weren’t going to move him around,” said Joe Ternus, who in 2004 found what he called “a ridiculous amount of pornography” on the hard drive of a computer he purchased at a church rummage sale and that had belonged to Jonathan Shelley, a parish priest. Ternus, whose parents and sister attended Shelley’s church, turned the hard drive over to archdiocesan officials. “I was given assurances that this wasn’t going to happen, but that’s exactly what happened,” Ternus said. Haselberger’s allegations have the St. Paul-Minneapolis Archdiocese playing defense. Last week, Archbishop John Nienstedt accepted the hasty resignation of his top-ranking deputy, the Rev. Peter Laird,
who wrote in his resignation letter that he hoped to “repair the trust of many, especially the victims of abuse.” Nienstedt also convened what he said would be an independent task force to examine the way church leaders officials have handled accusations of sexual misconduct by priests. But church leaders weren’t initially so eager to deal with the cases. Minnesota Public Radio News obtained a letter from Nienstedt to Cardinal William Levada, the now-retired Vatican official who ran the office that oversees errant priests, spelling out who an archdiocese investigator found pornographic images on Shelley’s hard drive that were at least “borderline illegal, because of the youthful looking male images.” “My staff has expressed concern the fact that CD-ROMs containing the images remain in the cleric’s personnel file could expose the archdiocese, as well as myself, to criminal prosecution,” Nienstedt wrote to Levada. The archdiocese declined to make Nienstedt or Laird available for interviews. Spokesman Jim Accurso said media coverage of the recent allegations “leave a false impression about the commitment of the archdiocese to
identify and address sexual misconduct by priests.” He said eliminating any form of abuse is the “highest priority” for the archdiocese. Tom Wieser, an attorney for the archdiocese, has called Haselberger “a disgruntled former employee.” She worked at the archdiocese from 2008 to last April, when she resigned because of concerns about the way sexual abuse allegations were handled. According to a police report, Haselberger found computer discs and a white three-ring binder in the vault last year that appeared to be evidence from a 2004 internal investigation into the images. A police report said Haselberger told Laird what she found, and was instructed to “put them back in the vault.” Shelley’s lawyer said there was no child pornography on the disc. And an attorney for the archdiocese said a computer forensics expert also found no evidence to support Haselberger’s allegations. Police also found no evidence of child pornography, but acknowledged they didn’t have the computer itself. Police received new information from Ternus on Friday, and on Tuesday afternoon they announced they were reopening the child pornography investigation.
The Innovation Connector, a collection of temporary-use office units and meeting spaces, welcomes students to bring ideas to the facility if they’re looking to start a business. “Students are creating things every single day and there are some of them that say, ‘Hey, I want to make a business out of this,’” said Ted Baker, executive director of the Innovation Connector and Ball State alumnus. The facility provides units furnished with telephone service, Internet and printing services. “It lowers the entry barrier,” said Wil Davis, interim president of the Ball State Innovation Corporation. Davis currently has an office both on campus and in the Innovation Connector. “I don’t have to have administrative employees because that’s covered in the overall lease contract,” he said. Innovation Connector also provides another amenity that Baker said is helpful when starting a company. “We are a collaborative area so there are other like-minded people in the facility,” he said. Even with the opportunity to rent space, Baker said the organization can also help in the brainstorming phase. “If they just have an idea and they’re asking, ‘Is this something worthwhile?’ then we can do some assessment and help them through that,” he said. “Not every idea is a business, but every idea is an idea.” The idea for the organization was in part founded by Ball State; University President Jo Ann Gora serves on the board of directors. “Ball State is one of our original and founding partners, but we are not really, really tied to them. We are a not-for-profit,” Baker said. Despite the independence from Ball State, the Innovation Connector is aiming to coordinate businesses with potential interns. “We act as a liaison from our community to Ball State, so if someone says, ‘I have this project and need an intern,’ we have our connections at BSU so we

“We are also discussing different ways to operate and manage that program,” he said. “It’s early in all those processes actually, we just don’t have a sense for how those are going to work.” On Oct. 1 Fallon said BBC Fellows turned in proposals for “strategic plan related funding” from the university. He said they have not been processed yet, but they asked for about $300,000 to use from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015. If this is approved, it would be about the same amount of money the program had to spend yearly using the Lily Endowment Grant. The BBC is also in the approval process for two contracted projects with Ball State’s Center for Business and Economic Research. Richard Heupel, director
be used by the Center for Business and Economic Research to establish policies and programs. “We are always on the look out for ways to extend the university and funding to do that,” he said. Heupel said there are not currently any immersive learning projects from BBC Fellows connected to the contracts, but there could be in the future. If they are approved, the joint projects funding for BBC Fellows would help buy out part of the salaries for some of their personnel, Fallon said. “I feel good about where we are because funding sources and others are appreciative of the university’s willingness to engage in outreach,” he said. “You will find no one more optimistic and confident than me.”
“President Daniels is still acting like a conservative Republican governor, just doing so from the platform of the presidency of Purdue.” Shelley Triol, Purdue’s assistant vice president for external relations, said Daniels did nothing wrong with the speaking engagement. “Mitch said he speaks to a lot of different groups,” Triol said. “On this occasion, he was asked to speak about Indiana’s fiscal transformation.” The Center of the American Experiment event featured a $10,000 sponsorship level called “Boilermakers Row,” which included a private dinner and photo opportunity with Daniels. Triol said neither Daniels nor Purdue gave the center

can say, ‘Thank you for calling us, we will have somebody call you right back,’” Baker said. The organization is currently home to 15 businesses and organizations, according to its website. One had to move out because it needed more space for its business. “One company outgrew our facility and bought their own building,” Baker said. “That’s a success. If we just have the same people all the time, we become nothing but landmarks, and I don’t want that.” What the company does want, Baker said, is for more companies to move out due to success. “Our goal is that they don’t stay in our place,” he said. “In a crude way, I kinda say we’re like a hospital; businesses will either be dead or healthy.” The services of the Innovation Connector was built around a flexible business environment, according to its website. “The whole idea is based on a changing environment ... This is our attempt to spawn or help the growth of some highgrowth technology businesses,” Baker said. The use of resources to grow these companies is something Davis believes is invaluable. “It’s more than just a building,” Davis said. “There is a certain value in my mind in having those resources right down the hallway from you.”

BBC: Group asks for university funds of $300,000 to continue running of BBC’s economic and community development division, said one of the projects is in the early stage of execution for about two months and focuses on regional targeted industry. It will bring in $180,000 in grants, $90,000 of which will go toward the BBC. The second project is still in the process of completing the contract and will focus on community readiness index. Heupel said this could be worth more than $90,000. For both projects, the BBC will split the work with the Center for Business and Economic Research. Heupel said they will focus on community work and present economic research to different communities. Then they will gather and analyze the results they find. Their data will be heavily qualitative, he said, and will

permission to name the event’s highest sponsorship level after the Purdue sports nickname. “The president said that if the event organizers had asked him about having a sponsorship level called ‘Boilermakers Row’, he would have told them not to do it,” Triol said. “He agrees with whomever questioned it.” Purdue Board of Trustees Chairman Tom Spurgeon said he felt confident that Daniels, who was taking part Tuesday in NBC News’ Education Nation panel in New York, would make the right decisions about what speaking engagements to accept. “I just feel very confident that he is not going to take some unusual or unique position other than the conservative positions he’s had in the past,” Spurgeon said.
UNIVERSITY OFFERS FORT WAYNE POSITION
Ball State’s Building Better Communities program has chosen a candidate for a new position based in Fort Wayne. John Fallon, assistant vice president of economic development and community engagement, said they are waiting for the formal appointment letter, mailed from University President Jo Ann Gora, to be signed and returned. He said they should release the name in the next few days. BBC made plans to expand to two populous locations in Indiana this summer to comply with the current strategic plan’s goal of advancing the state. He said the new positions will focus on making university research, training and consultation available for businesses and communities in both Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. “This is one of the clear and strong ways we advance Indiana, by making our faculty expertise available at the local level,” Fallon said. David Terrell started the branch in Indianapolis a little over a month ago. “They are getting their legs under them and building relationships,” Fallon said. – STAFF REPORTS

Sen. Ted Cruz has come into the U.S. House like a wrecking ball that would make Miley Cyrus proud. The government shutdown is bad news for all involved — the federal workers that have been off for seven days without pay, the people that wanted to visit federal parks and monuments and can’t, and all the tertiary people that have been affected, just to name a few. For a moment, let us set those immediate negatives aside and look to what this means for the future. There are rules set in the House of Representatives that provide stability,

Tea Party Republicans need to stop sitting in the lunchroom pouting about their salad.

CHALKBOARDS: Project reveals people’s untold dreams
This year several teams will charge down Riverside Avenue during the annual Homecoming Bed Race Competition today at 3 p.m. The event, usually held on Friday, has been bumped up to an earlier time in the week due to the Florida Georgia Line concert on Friday and the 5k run on Saturday, said Special Events Chairman Justin Miller. “It’s going to be the same bed races as before, just at an earlier time in the week,” Miller said. “We decided on Wednesday, because it usually is a dead day during Homecoming Week.” There will be 58 teams and seven different divisions: fraternity, sorority, independent male, independent female, residence halls male, residence halls female and faculty/staff/alumni. Each team consists of four players pushing the bed and one sitting on the sheets. Every member of the team must be touching the bed at all times. Teams will face off two at a time on a timed 100-yard race. Teams with the best times move on to the finals where the winners are determined. Awards will not only be given to the fastest, but the best dressed. A trophy is given to the team with the best costume.

The boards are in light of the sermon series, “Before I Die,” and were inspired by a project by Candy Chang. Chang transformed a side of an abandoned house in New Orleans into a giant chalkboard, where people could gather and write their hopes for the future. From there, Chang’s project gained international recognition, with boards covered in chalkboard scrawl of several different languages. Chang’s work is featured by TED, a nonprofit organization about creatively sharing ideas, and has been able to spread to other communities. Hughes said the boards are scattered in random locations. He and a team made the boards

They can be found on anything from insurance company buildings, an abandoned building behind The Grove Muncie to Muncie business plazas off of McGalliard Rd. “We want to tell the stories of people who have decided to live for something bigger than themselves,” Hughes said. The church members also put three boards on 10-foot trailers and have gone out to 25 events so far, from Ball State football games to community events. They gave out free lemon shakeups and invited people to write on the boards. Mayor Dennis Tyler said the boards posted throughout

It gives a way for us to raise awareness together.” The sermon series, Sept. 21Oct. 13, has featured a gospelspreading sword-swallower and a college student who is battling cancer. “There’s people who are staring death in the eyes and are living to their fullest,” Hughes said. “There’s a woman in our church who is fighting cancer, and people who have similar stories.” Tyler said, while he isn’t planning to go anytime soon, he

At TIAA-CREF, we believe the less excitement you find in your portfolio the better. When we invest, we do it for the long term, steadily. Our approach works so well it earned us the 2013 Lipper Award for Best Overall Large Fund Company. We deliver Outcomes That Matter.
Intelligent, informed investing. Award-winning performance. Get started at TIAA.org/award.
BEST OVERALL LARGE FUND COMPANY The Lipper Award is based on a review of 36 companies’ 2012 risk-adjusted performance.
The Lipper award is given to the group with the lowest average decile ranking of three years’ Consistent Return for eligible funds over the three-year period ended 11/30/12. TIAA-CREF was ranked against 36 fund companies with at least five equity, five bond, or three mixed-asset portfolios. TIAA-CREF mutual funds have achieved high rankings over various asset classes and market cycles. The 2012 Lipper/Barron’s overall ranking was determined by weighting five fund categories in proportion to their overall importance within Lipper’s fund universe. TIAA-CREF’s overall ranking was 10th out of 62 mutual fund families for one-year performance, and 29th out of 53 mutual fund families for five-year performance. TIAA-CREF did not qualify for the 10-year ranking. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
