Assistant, Whitford share bond

Friendship between 2 coaches began on Arizona Wildcats’ staff ANTHONY LOMBARDI SPORTS EDITOR | @ Lombardi_Dial8 The men’s assistant basketball coach is still finding himself acclimating to life at Ball State after being hired about a month ago.

The friendship between sec- basketball ond-year head coach James Whitford and Peters is one that formed during their time in Tucson, Ariz. Peters, a former walk-on and student manager of Ohio State’s basketball team, graduated in 2010. Less than a month later, he took the advice of one of his former coaches, Archie Miller, and joined the Arizona Wildcats as the program’s graduate manager. There, Peters was introduced to Whitford, who was beginning his second season as an assistant on Arizona head coach Sean Miller’s staff. “I took immediate liking to coach Whitford,” Peters said. “You can tell that he is genuinely a good person and has people’s best interests at heart.”

DANGERS OF FIREWORKS Police, lawyer ask Hoosiers to think of safety during celebrations PAYNE HORNING STAFF REPORTER | prhorning@bsu.edu

W

hile the Fourth of July is a celebration, state officials and a Muncie lawyer are warning Hoosiers about the safety of fireworks. “People lose sight of the fact that they are small explosive devices,” said John Stevens, a fireworks lawyer at the offices of John H. Brooke P.C. in Muncie. “When they operate 100 percent the way they are supposed to, they explode.” In 2013, U.S. hospital emergency departments treated an estimated 11,400 injuries related to fireworks, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates fireworks products. The majority of those accidents took place during or around the holiday. Stevens’ firm works with firework retailers, manufacturers and wholesalers, primarily in insurance cases. He said most fireworks accidents can be attributed to negligence.

PRIVACY BOARD GIVES ‘THUMBS-UP’ TO NSA FOR FOREIGN SPYING

WASHINGTON (AP) — Endorsement of the NSA’s Internet surveillance programs by a bipartisan privacy board deeply disappointed civil liberties activists Wednesday while providing a measure of vindication for beleaguered U.S. intelligence officials. James Clapper, director of national intelligence, welcomed the conclusion by the independent Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board that the National Security Agency’s Internet spying on foreign targets in the U.S. has been legal, effective and subject to rigorous oversight to protect the rights of Americans. It was a dizzying turnabout for a privacy board that in January drew criticism in the other direction for branding the NSA’s domestic calling record collection unconstitutional. As they unanimously adopted their 190page report Wednesday, the five board members — all appointed by President Barack Obama —sought to explain their largely favorable conclusions about surveillance programs.

TODAY JERUSALEM (AP) — The Palestinians accused Israeli extremists of abducting and killing an Arab teenager and burning his body Wednesday, sparking hours of clashes in east Jerusalem and drawing charges that the youth was murdered to avenge the killings of three kidnapped Israeli teens. Seeking to calm the explosive situation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged a swift inquiry into the “reprehensible murder”

and called on people to respect the rule of law. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was clear extremist Jewish settlers were responsible and called on Israel to bring the killers to justice. “The settlers have killed and burned a little boy. They are well known,” Abbas said, accusing Israel of tolerating settler violence toward Palestinians. “I demand that the Israeli government hold the killers accountable.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mike Pence on Tuesday asked that the federal government expand health care coverage for Indiana’s low-income residents using a state-run alternative to traditional Medicaid. Pence’s proposal, dubbed the Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0, expands on the state’s existing Healthy Indiana Plan, which has been covering about 35,000 to 45,000 low-income residents for the past six years. Pence

wrote in a letter Tuesday to Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell that he wants to expand that concept. If approved, the program would cover up to 458,000 low-income residents without health insurance. State analysts expect the proposal to cost roughly $18 billion through 2020, with Indiana paying $1.5 billion and the federal government covering $16.5 billion.

The redesigned Chevrolet Tahoe big SUV also had a strong month with sales almost doubling. GM sold more than 267,000 vehicles for the month. GM has recalled nearly 29 million

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The LBJ Presidential Library marked the 50th anniversary of the signing of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act by using technology that’s decidedly 2014.

vehicles this year as it reviews years of safety problems. The string began in February with the recall of 2.6 million small cars with faulty ignition switches. The problem is responsible for more than 13 deaths. GM admitted knowing about the problem for 10 years, but it failed to recall the cars until this year. A U.S. Senate subcommittee that’s investigating the recalls said it will hold a second hearing July 17.

GODFREYOFF TO FAST START IN MINORS A former Ball State baseball player and current Atlanta Brave minor leaguer has picked up hitting right where he left off when his college eligibility ran out. Through Sean Godfrey’s first 10 games with the Danville Braves, the Atlanta Braves’ Advanced Rookie-level affiliate, he has hit to a .366 batting average in 41 at-bats. After falling to the 22nd round of the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Godfrey has played with the proverbial chip on his shoulder. “I kind of just look at it like I got nothing to lose,” he said. “Just know that I’m going to go and have fun and see what happens. Hopefully, I can prove some people wrong.” In addition to hitting .366, Godfrey has scored 11 runs, has nine RBIs, as well as one stolen base. –

COACH: Whitford says new assistant’s competence stood out immediately | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The two of them became close during their three years at Arizona. When Whitford became the 19th head coach in the history of Ball State basketball, he attempted to bring Peters to Muncie with him. After consulting with Sean Miller, however, Peters chose to remain at Arizona to help fill the void created by Whitford’s departure. Determined, Whitford continued in his pursuit of Peters. A year later, the two were reunited at Ball State. Though Peters, 27, is young, the amount of trust that coach-

es have shown in him can be summed up in one word. “Competence,” Whitford said. “One of the things you really recognize as a coach is who you can trust and who you can’t. Danny stood out right away based on his level of competence.” To demonstrate what he meant, Whitford pulled out a thick binder in his office. Inside, every play ran after a timeout by every team during the 2013 NBA playoffs is neatly categorized and labeled. Its this sort of “competence” that Whitford said will make Peters very successful at all aspects of coaching, and one of the main reasons he wanted him on staff.

“I needed someone that knew the way I liked to do things,” Whitford said. “When the [assistant coaching job] opened

father served as the head coach at Youngstown State and at Division II St. Joseph’s in Rensselaer, Ind. His father knew Whitford prior to when Peters went to Arizona, but his father and Whit-

ford’s friendship grew when Peters was a graduate assistant. That, in turn, made Peters and Whitford’s relationship stronger. When Peters’ father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December 2013, their bond grew tighter. “Whitford talks to my dad a lot,” Peters said. “If I want to talk [about my dad], I’ll talk to [Whitford]. ... [My dad’s cancer] impacts both of us.” Taking a page from his father’s playbook, Peters remains optimistic as he readies himself for his first season as an assistant coach. There is a positive vibe that has not been felt around the

program in recent memory with the additions to the coaching staff in Peters and Brian Thornton, a former Xavier Academic All-American, and to the roster with Cincinnati transfer Jeremiah Davis III. Peters said he thinks the program can build up to something special. “Ball State has a phenomenal passion and following from its fanbase,” Peters said. “Is it the money that comes from Arizona? No, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t be successful. ... I’m not going to see [Ball State] across the ticker of ESPN as often, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get to that point.”

Ball State internationals aid alumnus Hungarian graduate looks to open office in ‘second home’

Bypassing the popularity of Silicon Valley, an alumniowned Hungarian software company looks to open a location in the Midwest. Attila Schillinger, a 1995 public relations graduate, said he wants to find a location in Indianapolis, following the growing venture capitalist investment trend of moving into the Midwest.

Ball State signs 5-year Atrium contract MATT McKINNEY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF | editor@bsudailynews.com

The university signed a five-year contract with Papa John’s to bring a franchise to the Atrium with an anticipated opening of Aug. 18. Here are seven points from the 39-page contract, provided to the Daily News from a public records request.

1 2 3 4 5

The price of the items is up to the franchise, not Ball State.

Unless the contract is terminated early, Papa John’s will be on campus until 2019. Papa John’s has the option to renew the contract for another five years afterward, but it isn’t an auto-renew contract.

Papa John’s may create marketing — Twitter or Facebook accounts, for example. The university also must approve the account beforehand, including samples of the screen names and proposed screenshots.

The university will approve a Papa John’s designated principal operator of the franchise, who will complete university training requirements.

The pizza restaurant must use food, ingredients, cooking materials and other necessary items that the university approves. If the franchise wants to use something that isn’t pre-approved, they must give the university samples of the items beforehand.

6 7

Papa John’s has to sell items that the university specifies beforehand, including pizza and other food. However, a vendor Papa John’s choses can provide drinks.

The university can terminate the contract with notice if somebody with more than 5 percent ownership of the franchise transfers their stake without written consent from the university or if they are convicted of a felony or a crime involving “moral turpitude.”

Some businesses can deny coverage for birth control pills | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Business owners who don’t want to pay for their employees’ birth control are ending that coverage after the Supreme Court said they could choose on grounds of religious belief not to comply with part of the health care law. Some owners are already in touch with their brokers in the wake of Monday’s ruling. Triune Health Group Ltd. wants to know how soon it can change its coverage to stop paying for all contraceptives, said Mary Anne Yep, co-owner of the Oak Brook, Ill., company that provides medical management services. “Framing this as an issue of contraception is wrong,” she said. “It’s a battle against bullying by the government, telling us what to do.” Triune, which has 80 employees, had filed lawsuits against the U.S. government and the state of Illinois because of requirements that they pay for contraception. The Supreme Court ruled that some businesses can, because of their religious beliefs, choose not to comply with the health care law’s requirement that contraception coverage be provided to workers at no extra charge.

The 5-4 ruling has the Obama administration looking for another way to provide birth control for women who work for those companies. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the decision creates health risks for women, and he said Congress should take action. “President Obama believes that women should make personal health care decisions for themselves rather than their bosses deciding for them,” Earnest said. “[Monday’s] decision jeopardizes the health of the women who are employed by these companies.” The ruling applies to businesses that are closely held, generally defined as having five or fewer individuals owning more than 50 percent of the company’s stock. By some estimates, 90 percent of businesses are closely held and employ about half the nation’s labor force of more than 155 million. While employers are not yet required to provide insurance under the health care law, many closely held companies do, and under the health care law, insurance is required to include contraceptive benefits. However, it’s not known how many closely-held companies offer insurance, how many workers they have and how many companies plan to stop paying for contraception. But it’s likely many companies will continue providing coverage for birth control, which would reduce the number of affected workers. A survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation

UNEMPLOYMENT: Delaware County’s Vision 2016 aims to bring 2,000 primary income jobs, at halfway point | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Compared to May 2013, Delaware County was No. 24. However, its unemployment rate at that time was 9.2 percent. Julian said he isn’t too concerned about the rankings. “We are more concerned about our statistics and where we were the year before and our numbers are showing that,” Julian said. The Indiana Business Report’s upcoming year forecast expected the slow growth and fluctuation to continue for East Central Indiana due to the slow recovery the national economy has had since The Great Recession. However, Michael Hicks, the university’s Center for Business and Economic Research director, gave a different reason for the slow growth in East Central Indiana as a whole. “I think probably biggest reason is the overall weakness in human capital,” he said. “We aren’t a place that has done particularly well in educational attainment. I think that is really the driving factor behind what we observe in unemployment.”

[We’re] trying to change a culture of valuing education and we’re doing that through childhood education.” The city continues to reconstruct roads to update its infrastructure, such as McGalliard Road and Wheeling Avenue and Madison Street. The city also is working on an $8 million garage by the Horizon Convention Center and the Arc of Indiana’s Courtyard Hotel. However, Delaware County and Muncie have to compete with other locations to better its economy, said Doug Marshall, councilor for Muncie’s District 1. “The whole state of Indiana is competing to bring jobs in,” he said. “There are so many cities that are competing for jobs right now.”

found 85 percent of large employers already paid for contraceptives before the health care law required it. Many owners believe it’s an important benefit that helps them attract and retain good workers. Even employers who want to opt out of some forms of birthcontrol coverage see covering others as important. “We want to provide for good health care for our people. We just don’t want to fund abortive procedures,” said Mike Sharrow, owner of C12 Group in San Antonio, with six employees. The contraceptives at issue in Monday’s decision are two known as morning-after pills, the emergency contraceptives Plan B and ella; and two intrauterine devices, which are implantable devices inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Many owners objected to them because they believe they may work after conception occurs. However, on Tuesday, the court left in place lower court rulings in other cases that allowed businesses to refuse to pay for all methods of government-approved contraception. The case decided by the Supreme Court involved two companies, Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. About 50 others also filed suit against the health care law’s contraception requirement. Hobby Lobby has more than 15,000 full-time employees while Conestoga has about 950. Hobby Lobby is by far the largest employer among the 50 or

CASE RULING On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that some businesses, due to religious beliefs, can choose to not comply with the health care law’s requirement that contraception coverage be provided to workers at no extra charge. The ruling applies to businesses that are closely held — five or fewer individuals own more than 50 percent of the company’s stock. By some estimates, 90 percent of businesses are closely held and employ about half the nation’s labor force of more than 155 million. A survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found 85 percent of large employers already paid for contraceptives before the health care law required it.

so for-profits that sued. Some of the companies that have sued received court injunctions allowing them not to pay for birth control; the Supreme Court’s ruling is expected to allow them to continue that policy. In a dissent she read aloud from the bench, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called the decision “potentially sweeping” because it minimizes the government’s interest in uniform compliance with laws affecting the workplace. “And it discounts the disadvantages religion-based opt-outs impose on others, in particular, employees who do not share their employer’s religious beliefs,” Ginsburg said.

MAN GETS PROBATION FOR SLASHING TIRES ON BALL STATE VEHICLES IN 2009

A Delaware Circuit Court judge sentenced a Muncie man to two years of probation for slashing the tires of Ball Stateowned vehicles in 2009. On June 26, Judge Kimberly Dowling sentenced Huckelby to two years of probation and ordered him to pay $7,802.25 in restitution to Ball State, according to the court case. Brian R. Huckelby, 38, pleaded guilty to slashing the tires. He was originally charged in 2009 with a Class C felony for institutional criminal mischief, which was lowered to a Class D felony after his plea. Huckelby slashed 67 tires on about 15 Ball State-owned vehicles in 2009, according to earlier Daily News reports. A police report suggested he became angry after Parking Services placed a tire boot on his vehicle following an alleged parking violation. Lon Bryan, Huckelby’s attorney, characterized the tire slashing as “an act of retaliation,” the Star Press reported. – STAFF REPORTS

Study reviews consumer food habits

American majority often look for labels listing natural, local HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | ALAN afhovorka@bsu.edu

The majority of Americans base their decisions of what food to buy based on natural food labels, a new survey from Consumer Reports shows. What consumers looked for on their food labels was a key question asked in the survey, which was conducted in April by phone, consisting of a national representative sample. Fifty-nine percent of respondents look for a natural food label and 66 percent look for locally grown labels. However, these labels mean next to nothing, said Amanda Kruse, a wellness nutritionist for Ball State Dining.

“Some of my concerns as said they think natural does a dietician as coding food not include toxic pesticides, 76 as natural — it’s not regu- percent think no artificial malated,” Kruse said. “It is per- terials were used in processing ceived as better for you.

forward and then decide who has to meet the guidelines.” As a junior biochemistry major, Ryan Rhodes said he always looks at the ingredients in his food. “I am never inclined to buy natural,” Rhodes said. “I am more inclined ... to buy things that have the approval of the American Heart Association. I know that’s more reputable than an all-natural label.” On campus, the labels don’t influence what is served, Kruse said. “I always have a slight concern what a consumer would think,” she said. “We always try to pick something based on budget and what they’ll want and health. It’s not the end all, be all. We wouldn’t purchase something that has a natural label [on purpose]. If it kind of happens to fall into that, fine.” ​

U.K. OPENS PROBE INTO FACEBOOK STUDY

LONDON — British regulators are investigating revelations that Facebook treated hordes of its users like laboratory rats in an experiment probing into their emotions. The Information Commissioner’s Office said Wednesday that it wants to learn more about the circumstances underlying a 2-year-old study carried out by two U.S. universities and the world’s largest social network. Facebook allowed researchers to manipulate the content that appeared in the main section, or “news feed,” of about 700,000 randomly selected users during a single week in January 2012. The data-scientists were trying to collect evidence to prove their thesis that people’s moods could spread like an “emotional contagion” depending on the tenor of the content that they were reading. The study concluded that people were more likely to post negative updates about their lives after the volume of positive information appearing in their Facebook feeds had been purposefully reduced by the researchers. The opposite reaction occurred when the number of negative posts appeared in people’s news feeds. None of the participants in the Facebook experiments were explicitly asked for their permission, though the social network’s terms of use appears to allow for the company to manipulate what appears in users’ news feeds however it sees fits. The reaction to the study itself provided evidence of how quickly an emotional contagion can spread online. The research was released a month ago, but it didn’t provoke a backlash until the past few days after other social media sites and essays in The New York Times and The Atlantic raised red flags about the ethics of Facebook’s experiment. –

FIREWORKS: Lawyer says Indiana ‘open state’ for celebration objects

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Very, very few consumer products are a true defect,” he said. “Almost inevitably, there is something else involved. Maybe they weren’t far enough away, maybe they didn’t know what they were using.” Stevens said 60 percent of the accidents his firm has seen involve alcohol. He recalled one incident a few years ago where several individuals loaded an old refrigerator with fireworks and then shot at it with high-powered rifles, leading to a serious injury. Although Stevens attributed the vast majority of injuries to user error, he said firework production isn’t a perfect science. This is because many fireworks are handmade but mass-produced, sometimes with manufacturing errors.

“For as advanced as they are, the majority are still handmade individually and put together by hand,” he said. “People, primarily in China, are sifting and mixing the chemicals, they are rolling the tubes, they are packing the composition into each individual tube.” Injuries to hands and fingers are the most common, followed by the head, face and ear, according to CPSC. About 62 percent injuries in 2013 involved burns. The CPSC said 40 percent of the recorded injuries involved children younger than 15. In Indiana, a person has to be 18 or older to buy fireworks. The law requires that children be accompanied by an adult if they use fireworks. If an adult is not present, using or possessing fireworks is a Class C infraction for the minor.

In a statement, Indiana State Police reminded Hoosiers that the use of fireworks in the state are restricted to the hours of 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. for most days except on Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and New Years Eve. On those

holidays, the times are from 9 a.m. until midnight. A person who violates this law can be charged with a Class C infraction. If a person recklessly, knowingly or intentionally uses fireworks and the violation causes property

damage, they can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor. If there is bodily injury, it would be considered a Class D felony, which would move up to a Class C felony if it caused a death. Despite regulations, Indiana is what Stevens calls an “open state.” If the firework is a legal consumer item, Hoosiers are free to use it in their holiday celebrations. In 2006, Indiana loosened its fireworks laws to allow Hoosiers to use fireworks from 5 p.m. until two hours after sunset June 29 to July 3 and July 5 until July 9, regardless of any local burn bans. The state also added a public safety tax for 5 percent on sales, which has gained the state about $2.5 million in revenue each year since then, according to the Indiana Department of Revenue.

ith 60 plus breweries and more opening every day, Indiana is quickly becoming known as a home for exceptional craft beer. Robbie Mehling, a telecommunications graduate student who graduates this month, has spent the last two years learning everything about Indiana beer. It was in 2012 at a brewery opening in Evansville, Ind., that Mehling came up with the idea to document Indiana breweries for his master’s thesis. “I was starting to get more into better ROBBIE MEHLING, beer and craft beer and local beer,” he a telecommunications graduate said. “And it just kind of hit me that I student wanted to do a documentary about the evolution of brewing in the state.” He started work on “Indiana in a Pint: Brewing in the Crossroads of America” in the winter of 2012 and finished production this April. Mehling said about 10 people, all from Ball State, helped create the documentary. In “Indiana in a Pint,” he talks to several brewers and brewery owners.

The event is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs.
