Hoosiers to host Bulldogs tonight

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

Two powers will clash in Bloomington today.

The IU soccer team’s defense, which has allowed two goals through its first five matches, will try and stop a Butler attack that has scored 10 goals in its first six matches.

“They probably have one of the most balanced attacks in the whole entire country,” IU senior defender Patrick Doody said. “Their front six are really talented. Good movement. They play well. We’re going to have to be sharp the whole time to keep the ball out of the net.”

One reason Butler is able to find the back of the net so often is because of the sheer amount of players they send toward the goal.

Oftentimes the Butler outside backs are an integral part of the attack. Having so many players in and around the box is difficult for any defense to handle.

“They make the field pretty big,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “They get their outside backs pretty high and aggressive, which we’ve seen from some other teams.”

The downside to committing so many players to attack is the risk of losing possession.

Couple offers art advice

By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP

It is possible to make a living as an artist.

This was a statement the Venue Fine Art and Gifts was determined to prove Tuesday.

Gabriel Colman, owner and curator at the Venue, said the event “I Support Myself by My Art” was designed to help artists learn how to support themselves using their work.

To demonstrate this, Colman brought in Alice Sharp, half of the team behind paulsharp.com.

Alice Sharp and her husband, Paul Sharp, are active freelance artists making their living off illustration work.

Paul Sharp is the cartoonist, and Alice Sharp is the graphic designer. Paul Sharp was unable to attend the event due to laryngitis, Alice Sharp said.

They first broke onto the freelance community after Paul Sharp was downsized out of his full-time job.

He had worked for a paper company where he designed billboards.

“It’s been a blessing,” Alice Sharp said.

This change in career pushed the couple into their current profession as independent artists.

Children’s publishing is now their primary focus. Paul Sharp works mostly in character design, lending itself to the children’s genre.

Alice Sharp said that throughout the 20 years they have worked together, they have maintained the SEE VENUE, PAGE 6

KNOW YOUR BALLOT With 48 days to go, local offices are bracing for Midterms. Here’s what you need to know.

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

Midterm election season is just around the corner. While national and state elections centering on key issues are capturing headlines, 13 seats are up for grabs in Monroe County on Election Day, Nov. 4.

Monroe County commissioner, District 1 In a race to be one of three commissioners of Monroe County, incumbent Democrat Patrick Stoffers will face off against two candidates in November: Republican Bob LaGarde and Libertarian Dave Nakarado.

Stoffers, an IU alumnus, served two terms on the Ellettsville, Ind., town council and is seeking his third term as Monroe County Commissioner.

“He’s very good about bringing all local officials together toward the bigger picture,” said Trent Deckard, chair of the Monroe County Democratic Party.

On the Republican side is LaGarde, who previously served in the Van Buren Township Trustee office and is looking to become the only Republican on the Monroe County Commission.

“What this race will do is give us a chance to provide some balance,” said Riley Parr, assistant to the chair for the Monroe County Republican Party. “(LaGarde) can provide a different kind of prospective.”

The third candidate running for District 1 Commissioner is Nakarado, a real estate agent in Bloomington and the only Libertarian running for a Monroe County seat.

Monroe County Council, District 1

Democrat Shelli Yoder has the current District 1 council seat after being appointed in 2013. In 2012, Yoder lost to Republican Congressman Todd Young in a race for Indiana’s 9th Congressional District.

Deckard said she has had a positive effect in her short time on the council.

“She brings a new voice to public service,” Deckard said.

Nelson Shaffer is the Republican challenger. Shaffer is a geologist, retired from the Indiana Geological Survey last April.

Parr said Shaffer’s experience as a geology professor would add a new perspective to the Monroe County Council.

“He’s got an ability to think through complex issues,” he said.

“He would help examine things like the budget that don’t get looked at quite enough.”

Monroe County Council, District 2 Ryan Cobine is the Democratic nominee for the council District 2 seat after winning an uncontested primary. Cobine is an IT specialist and currently serves on the Bloomington City Traffic Commission.

Running against Cobine is Brian Ellison, a businessman who previously ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Monroe County Council atlarge seat in 2012.

Monroe County Council, District 3 Marty Hawk is a local real estate agent and the only Republican incumbent running for a spot on the County Council this November.

“Marty Hawk, as an incumbent, has been very outspoken,” said Steve Hogan, chair of the Monroe County SEE ELECTIONS, PAGE 6

Iota Phi Theta raises suicide awareness

In the middle of a bicycle crash during the Little 500 race last year, senior Richard Dixon slid out. As he looked up at the crowd, he could only see the face of his late friend.

The friend who was being laid to rest the same day.

Last year Dixon, president of Gamma Delta Chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. lost his friend to suicide just days before the beginning of the Little 500 races. From then on, Dixon planned to have an event through his chapter to raise awareness about the taboo topic, Dixon said.

Gamma Delta is hosting Impacting Others Through Awareness week with events like nursing home visits and discussing the elimination of the “N” word, in addition to events to help raise suicide awareness. Members of the Divine Nine, the nine historically black fraternities and sororities on campus, gathered in the Hoosier Den on Tuesday.

Final meeting discusses VPOR

By Anna Hyzy akhyzy@indiana.edu | @annakhyzy

Advocating for a secure data system, facilitating collaborative research and having a broad understanding of IU’s many disciplines were among the characteristics that six faculty members presented as part of what their ideal candidate for executive vice president and vice provost for research would possess.

In the most recent of four town hall meetings at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Hoosier Room of the Indiana Memorial Union, faculty, particularly those in the social sciences, were invited to share their ideas on what kind of candidate should be chosen to fill the position left vacant by the retirement of Sarita Soni.

Michael Wade, professor of biology, is currently serving as interim VPOR. “These town hall meetings have been extremely instructive in terms of giving us a perspective that we would not have otherwise,” said Beth Plale, chair of the committee and professor in the School of Informatics and Computing.

Plale said the committee

was formed during the summer, and the search is internal, meaning that only IU faculty will be considered.

Jason Baird Jackson, associate professor of folklore, said he appreciated the fact that the search is internal.

“I think given the number of things that are at play on our campus right now, I think this person is going to need to have a high degree of IU literacy,” Jackson said.

Jane McLeod, professor of sociology, said she thought it would be helpful to have a candidate with a good understanding of how research in the social sciences functions.

“Historically, my experience has been that the office has not had the best understanding of how social science really works,” she said.

She said research funding seems to focus on larger collaborative projects, which are not the types of projects many sociologists at IU end up pursuing.

She also made a point to say the lack of collaborative projects is not because of sociologists being unwilling to participate in this kind of research.

Multiple faculty members present expressed a desire

to have a candidate with an ability to see connections and shared interests across campus to encourage collaboration.

“I think it’s a great idea because despite individual best efforts, you don’t know who you don’t know,” said David Mank, professor in the School of Education.

Jackson said he felt Wade had been doing a good job of facilitating collaboration across schools in his interim role.

Mank also highlighted the importance of recognizing differences in how each resource center operates and the business models for their funding.

Faculty also brought up the complications brought about by the structure of the position, as the VPOR reports to multiple supervisors.

McLeod said she hopes the selected candidate will be willing to advocate for structural changes within the office to improve the way it functions.

Plale also brought up the idea of translational research, which Mank defined as evidence-based research being applied outside of the University.

“For the social sciences,

this is a deep tradition,” Jackson said.

Mank made a point to highlight that translational research can be a complicated, drawn-out and often messy process.

Jackson also voiced facility-based concerns, pointing out that members of his staff work in close proximity to mold, which raises a health concern.

McLeod said, aside from just facilities, research technology, such as secure data storage systems, are the types of things for which the VPOR should advocate.

Plale said the search committee have received 12 nominations thus far, and the next step will be to interview the nominees.

Following the interviews, Plale said the search committee will recommend two to three finalists to the Provost Lauren Robel These finalists will then participate in town hall meetings where they will be asked questions about their vision for the position.

“I think there’s additional movements at foot that we’ve heard about in our conversations, but I think Lauren is interested in making hires a bit more strategic,” Plale said.

ABP offers social issue-focused trips From IDS reports

The Alternative Break Program unveiled the locations of its 2014-15 trips Tuesday night.

The program, which is through the Institute for Social Impact and supported by the Kelley School of Business, gives students the opportunity to travel and work on social issues they care about, according to the program’s website.

“It’s a great way to combine what you learn about social issues in the classroom with the real world,” ABP President Hillary Nolting said.

She said students often make close friends on the trips as well.

“We always have really great feedback from students,” Nolting said.

Applications are open until Oct. 26, and soon afterward, applicants will go through an interview process.

These interviews are student lead, Nolting said.

There are also ways for students to supplement the cost of their trip, she said. Some options include participating in a letter writing campaign through ABP to friends and family members and applying for ABP and Hutton Honors College scholarships.

The program is open to all students, but the domestic trips are limited in the number of people by the capacity of a car. Some domestic trips have two leaders, and so more will be able to attend the trip.

‘suicide,’ it leaves a sour taste in my mouth,” Dixon said.

“It’s something people always just try to push off and blame it on something else.

I want everyone to know this is something people do deal with. It is a sickness.”

Students described their own experiences, describing suicidal thoughts and caring for suicidal friends through poetry, rap and speeches.

One of the four performers was junior Chris Redding, who read an original poem about losing his friend.

“It was kind of something I needed to do personally,” Redding said. “I didn’t really have an outlet, and Richard (Dixon) gave me a forum to write and motivation to write something to cope and adjust to everything.”

After the performances, social worker Ron Masters and others spoke about the signs of suicide and the resources available to students and community members.

Masters broke suicide down into three components: desirability, capability and sense of competency. This translates into three stages of suicidal thoughts — a feeling of hopelessness, a sense of fearlessness toward death and being aware of the opportunity to act.

The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention reports that the likelihood of suicidal thoughts, planning and attempts is significantly higher for young adults age 18 to 29 years old.

“I think the stress of attending a university of size, coming from their hometown community, is huge,” Masters said. “So if they’re coming into this stressful situation without some pretty strong resilience, it’s a tough road for them. ” In some cases, the taboo of suicide is also cultural.

The Divine Nine took special interest in suicidal awareness because suicide is often seen as a sign of weakness in the African American culture, Redding said.

“It’s a pride thing,” Redding said. “I remember being a kid, and my dad told me that suicide is a coward’s way out. If you show some type of weakness, you’re giving someone the opportunity to pounce on you. Either that’s a bullying opportunity or a way to put you in a vulnerable position.”

The Divine Nine’s event addressed this issue head on and stressed that suicide and depression go beyond race, culture or social class.

“Suicide is something that we don’t talk about,” Dixon said to the crowd.

“But look around. We are different, but we all have our own battles we’re facing.”

Professor McLeod receives national sociology awards

By Neha Ramani nramani@indiana.edu | @neha_ramani

An IU sociology professor recently received two national awards because of major contributions in the field of sociology of mental health.

Jane McLeod is this year’s recipient of the Society for the Study of Social Problem’s James R. Greenley Award and the American Sociological Association’s Mental Health Section’s Leanard I. Pealin Award.

McLeod said she is flattered and embarrassed by the honors and said the awards have personal meaning for her.

“These awards are great honors that are named after two men that are outstanding figures in sociology and mental health, both of whom I know personally,” she said.

McLeod said other sociology faculty members nominated her for the awards.

Brian Powell, a fellow sociology professor, said the honors are well deserved.

“The department is very pleased with her recognition, but we’re not surprised,” Powell said in a release. “Jane is a major figure in sociology and in the subfield of sociology of mental health.”

McLeod said her research interests are in mental health, with a focus on children and various demographics.

“I’ve been interested in particular in mental health inequalities over the life course, with particular attention to socioeconomic status,” she said. “I’m also interested in how mental health problems sometimes have implications later in life.”

McLeod said she became

interested in the area in graduate school when she realized sociologists Jane do not do as McLeod much work with children as one might think.

“I thought there was room to add a sociological perspective on children as it relates to mental health,” she said. “I am interested in what happens to kids that have to deal with mental health issues.”

McLeod is also associate dean for social and historical sciences and for graduate education in the College of Arts and Sciences, administrative positions that she said do not allow her to do too much research.

Still, she said she is starting two new research projects focused on inequalities and mental health.

“I’m starting one new project on inequalities in mental health based on education, occupation and race,” she said. “There are many things we don’t know on how mental health varies among those things.”

McLeod said her second project is about what happens to children who are referred to the welfare system.

“These are going to be many different kinds of children,” she said.

McLeod said she expects most of the children to come from lower income backgrounds, some to have suffered child abuse and some to have parents who are incarcerated.

“I’m interested in how those different combinations of problems affect their lives,” she said.

Eli Lilly testing new cancer drug, sees positive results From IDS reports

The pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company announced Friday that a cancer-fighting drug it produced, ramucirumab, met its “primary endpoint of overall survival,” according to a release from Inside INdiana.

The Phase III study, known as the “RAISE trial,” was initiated in 2010 and enrolled more than 1,000 patients in 26 countries, according to the release. Its goal — which is referred to as the “primary endpoint” — was overall survival.

Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival, overall safety and overall response rate.

Ramucirumab, marketed as Cyramza, “is the first Phase III trial to show improved overall survival and progression-free survival with a biologic agent in advanced gastric cancer after prior chemotherapy,” according to an Eli Lilly release from April.

Ramucirumab has been tested hand-in-hand with chemotherapy and in double-blind, randomized studies on people with a variety of cancers.

“We now have four Phase III ramucirumab trials that improved survival in three of the world’s most common and deadly cancers — gastric, lung and colorectal — supporting

The Unitarian Universalist Church will be sending members to New York City this weekend to attend the People’s Climate March.

Group will attend NYC march From IDS reports

Members of the Green Sanctuary Task Force at the Unitarian Universalist Church will be traveling to New York City this weekend to attend the People’s Climate March on Sunday.

The march precedes the United Nations Climate Summit, which will be two days later and attended by dozens of world leaders.

According to the Unitarian Universalist Church, the group will depart Saturday evening, arrive in Central Park on Sunday in time for the march and travel back to Indiana after the march ends,

arriving in Bloomington sometime Monday morning.

There are more than 50 individuals on a wait list for the bus from Bloomington to New York, according to the group’s Facebook page. They are currently looking for drivers to operate a second vehicle in order to accommodate those on the wait list.

The group met earlier this week to make posters and watch a documentary on climate change in preparation for the event.

On Sunday morning, the members of the task force will join demonstrators representing more than a thousand national and

international organizations from various backgrounds, including interfaith groups, grassroots networks and international nongovernmental organizations.

The march is expected to be peaceful in nature. According to the People’s Climate March website, attendees will have to abide by the code of conduct established by the People’s Climate March committee, which includes a promise to abstain from violence and other problematic behavior.

Following the march, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will address world leaders and

urge them to take action to reduce pollution output and mitigate environmental damage.

The goal of the summit is to urge countries to adopt environmentally friendly policies to offset the negative implications associated with climate change, according to the Unitarian Universalist Church’s website.

Individuals interested in marching alongside the Green Sanctuary Task Force can contact the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington for more information.

global regulatory submissions in multiple indications,” said Richard Gaynor, M.D., senior vice president, product development and medical affairs for Lilly Oncology, in the release.

The drug has been approved for use as a single agent drug in the United States for people with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

This trial was focused on patients suffering from metastatic colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and the fourth-leading cause worldwide, according to the release.

“Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer... continue to need new treatment options that improve survival,” Gaynor said in the Inside INdiana release.

Eli Lilly plans to present information gathered from all of its ramucirumab studies at a conference in 2015, according to the release.

“We are pleased that the RAISE study demonstrated a survival benefit and are hopeful that ramucirumab will become a new anti-angiogenic treatment option ... for metastatic colorectal cancer patients,” Gaynor said.

Department of Labor releases census report of worker deaths in 2013 From IDS reports

The Indiana Department of Labor has released its annual statistics of labor-related deaths in Indiana.

The annual preliminary 2013 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries report cited 123 worker deaths in Indiana in 2013.

According to the Indiana Department of Labor’s website, the census “includes work-related fatalities resulting from unintentional and intentional injuries.” The CFOI corroborates these incidents with several sources before reporting them and turning them into the data available in the census.

The number 123 is a slight increase from that of 2012, which reported 115 worker deaths, but it does fit with the trend of a general decrease in these kinds of fatalities, according to a Sept. 16 Inside INdiana release. In 1994, the numbers reached a record high — 195.

This year’s numbers are the third-lowest on record.

“The Indiana Department of Labor remains committed to promoting safe workplaces for all Hoosiers through outreach, training, safety consultations, recognition for exemplary businesses and enforcement,” IDOL Commissioner Rick Ruble said in the release.

Breaking down the 123 deaths, the release reported that 58 deaths, the largest

group of fatalities recorded, were because of transportation accidents. More than half of these deaths (32) “were attributed to roadway incidents involving motorized vehicles,” the release stated. The leading cause of workplace fatalities, then, are because of vehicle crashes.

Other deaths were categorized as such: “violence and other injuries by persons or animals”; “fires and explosions”; “falls, slips, trips”; “exposure to harmful substances or environments”; and “contact with objects and equipment.” In Indiana, these numbers were 26, 3, 9, 10 and 16, respectively, according to an economic news release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the United States Department of Labor.

The state with the highest number of worker deaths in the year 2013 was California, with 375 — down 10 from 385 in 2012 — while the state with the lowest number was Rhode Island with eight.

The construction industry, also boasted a 32-percent decrease in worker deaths from 2012. There were 22 that year, while 15 deaths were recorded in 2013.

“We (the Indiana Department of Labor) strive to help Indiana employers improve their safety and health practices to adopt a culture of safety,” Ruble said in the release.

Rihanna was a victim of domestic abuse in 2009. “Ya’ll are sad for penalizing me for this,”

the pop star tweeted Tuesday.

The editorial board supports RiRi’s outburst. CBS was trying to be sensitive of domestic violence, but pulling Rihanna’s song was a blatant act of victim blaming.

AN EMMA DILEMMA

Forgetting history, hurting ourselves Tragedy is often lost on us the more we move away from an event in time.

But by forgetting the solemnity of events, we dishonor those who suffered.

We also allow serious things to become jokes or campy, losing their cultural and historical value until they become so irrelevant that we are more likely than not going to repeat the event until the lesson finally sticks with us.

Which brings me to Urban Outfitters.

By now everyone and their grandmother has heard about Urban Outfitters’ unfortunate clothing mishap.

The company had for sale a $130 “vintage” Kent State sweatshirt covered in what looked like bloodstains.

Four people were killed and nine were injured when state troopers opened fire on peaceful protesters May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio.

Clearly, selling a “bloodstained” sweatshirt with the university’s logo and telling people it’s supposed to be vintage was not the smartest idea a clothing company has had.

However, the commercialization of tragedy is not uncommon.

A quick Google search will show you inflatable slides that look like a sinking Titanic ship.

Funbounce.co.uk has special offers on them.

At Halloween parties you can always find one big guy dressed up as Henry VIII, holding a plastic mutton chop.

We haven’t really reached the point where Hitler is a socially acceptable costume, but clearly if you give it about 200 years, a merciless, tyrannical dictator becomes a lovable gag.

EMMA WENNINGER is a junior in English.

In short, it seems that with time and distance, we forget we need to respect tragic events and instead opt for entertainment.

There’s a moment when history becomes iconic.

Not in the Beyoncé sense.

In the sense that images and events reach a point where they only become images and symbols. They no longer feel real to us.

The image of the Titanic sinking becomes an idea for a bounce house, not a symbol of the horrific, icy deaths of thousands locked in the bowels of the ship for myriad safety failures and class discrimination.

When history becomes iconic, the death and destruction that accompanies events in history are forgotten.

And this is bad.

Urban Outfitters simply jumped the gun on what seems will inevitably happen with Kent State, Tianenmen Square or any event where we want to quickly forget how badly it affected us.

If we live through the next 150 years, we will probably find our greatgreat-great-grandchildren playing in a World Trade Center bouncy castle.

We need to remember there are some things we simply cannot commercialize, use as shock value or sell for profit.

There is danger in commercialization because in some sense it means forgetting.

And those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Protecting our finest WE SAY: Police and firefighters deserve better

WHIZZES AND BANGS

Stop wasting time We live in the age of the Internet, which is really cool.

We have access to mountains of information with just a simple Google search.

Today, as I pondered many deep and strange things, which, because I am an English major I am prone to do, I was struck by the thought that college must have been so much harder back in the days of old.

When people had to go to the library instead of Wikipedia. Unthinkable.

Before the Internet, when you had to pore over volumes of old and dusty books in order to find the information you were searching for.

That led me to even more deep and profound thoughts about my own behavior and the behavior of our generation.

I had to ask myself why my peers and I are so content, or even eager, to simply waste our time with trivial nonsense on the Internet.

I honestly cannot imagine having to go through college without the technology we have today.

I try to think about how I would complete even the most simple assignment without using the Internet in some way, shape or form.

I think it would probably kill me.

Not to mention I have no idea how I would waste all of my time without the help of Netflix and all of those Buzzfeed quizzes that just really seem to understand my soul.

Countless hours are invested each day in social

media and various entertainment websites such as Buzzfeed, Youtube or Netflix.

There is no immediate payoff or any particular intellectual benefit to partaking in such activities.

In fact, it’s actually rather mind-numbing.

I think this current generation has become too content with wasting time, rather than using it to better ourselves, our lives and the lives of others.

I, too, am guilty of this.

Wasting time is a very easy thing to do.

But wasting our time also leaves us empty.

There is no purpose to drive us along when we just sit around doing pointless things on the Internet all day.

And night.

I don’t think the Internet is a terrible thing or that we should do away with Internet entertainment, but I think it’s important that our generation take a moment to consider why we are so content to waste time.

To be very cliché for a moment, we are our future, and we cannot progress if we don’t take action.

We would be able to feel so much more fulfilled if we invested our time in things that are stimulating, like reading a book or taking a hike or forming new friendships.

We can’t let our time go by wasted. johnstra@indiana.edu

To say that Indiana has never been a strong advocate for unions of any kind is an understatement, to say the least.

Last week, the city of Indianapolis, under direction of Republican Mayor Greg Ballard, took a swipe at Indiana’s finest.

Currently, the Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police and the Indianapolis Professional Firefighters Union are suing the city, alleging that proposed health insurance alterations constitute a breach of contract.

Thankfully, it is illegal for public safety reasons for these men and women to strike, but we believe that if it were an option, you would see signs and hear chants from Indianapolis to South Bend.

The city, which is not currently under collective bargaining negotiations with the unions, has begun eliminating its current Advantage HMO plan in favor of a High Deductible Health Plan. Anthem is the sole insurance vendor for this plan.

For a married firefighter or police officer, bi-weekly contributions would raise from $46.39 to $101.49.

Additionally, the new plan institutes a $5,000 deductible.

Meaning, those with this plan would have to pay $5,000 out of their own pocket before insurance covered anything. The maximum out-of-pocket cost for this plan could range from $8,000 to $9,000.

It’s also important to note that the new plan does not factor in

any contributions for retirees or their healthcare plans.

Firefighters and police officers are constantly injured on the job.

If it is serious enough, i.e., brain damage, maiming, burns, gun shot wounds, paralysis and a myriad of other potentially lifethreatening injuries, these people need to be able to take care of themselves.

They also need to be able to maintain a quality of life after retirement.

The loss of a limb is not a common cold. These wounds must be treated and cared for long after police officers or firefighters hang up their badges.

The emotional and psychological damage could be worse.

They need to be able to pay for any sort of trauma, physical or mental, that they have undergone.

If they have insufficient or expensive coverage, they will be unable to do so.

The suit claims the city is breaching its collective bargaining agreement with the union, as well as failing to notify the union of this change at the time of a contract extension last year.

The Editorial Board supports the decision of the unions to sue the city, as we believe the actions taken by the city are not only opportunistic jabs at the unions but also entirely reprehensible and irresponsible.

We understand Indiana doesn’t

want to spend money on anything that could actually help people, like health care or education or infrastructure.

However, we believe the city of Indianapolis, and Ballard, should show more appreciation toward those who protect us.

Additionally, police officers and firefighters work in exceedingly stressful and dangerous environments.

The normal wear and tear alone will all but guarantee continual medical visits for many retirees, whom the city doesn’t account for in the new plan.

If the city wanted to alter the health care plans when it negotiates its next contract with the unions, that would be one thing.

However, the city did not consult the union members about these alterations.

Ballard’s office has been unwilling, in our eyes, to work with city employees who protect the citizens of the Indianapolis-area.

And if the mayor of the largest city in Indiana isn’t willing to follow the rules, that doesn’t bode well for the state as a whole.

If the government isn’t willing to care for our finest, will they care for everyone else?

In the opinion of the Editorial Board, it is both unfair and immoral to continue to push unexpected costs and benefit decreases upon those who serve and protect our great state.

Follow the rules, and take care of our finest.

BANK ON IT

50 shades of beige I’m sure a lot of things come to mind when you hear the word “nude.” Perhaps first and foremost is a naked person.

Maybe you think of the fashion trend. Nude has nearly overtaken the clothing and makeup industries.

It’s all part of the “natural look.” It’s light and earthy, perfect for autumn and when you really just don’t want to match your eye shadow to your shoes.

But in this trend, the fashion and makeup industries have left out a large group of people: women of color.

When I think of nude, I see shades of beige, creams and tans. Maybe a few blushes, some off-whites.

If you Google “nude color palette” — and I must strongly recommend you include “color palette” — you will see the same colors I’ve mentioned in shoes, dresses, eye shadow, lipstick and foundation.

But these colors that are considered “nude” are only “nude” for a certain group of women. White women.

The nude for women of color is sorely misrepresented or, in some cases, no represented at all.

Nubian Skin was created to help change that.

Nubian Skin is a lingerie brand looking to provide women of color with any sort of undergarment or hosiery in shades that will actually match their skin tones.

The founder of Nubian Skin realized what other brands were failing to see: that white women and women of color — whether black, Mexican or whatever — could not all live on the same nude scale.

Nubian Skin isn’t the first to look to service women of color exclusively. Covergirl created the Queen collection, a line of makeup for women of color.

IMAN is another cosmetics brand with

tones primarily made to complement darker complexions.

Lupita Nyong’o cannot wear the same nude pantyhose as Jennifer Lawrence.

Beyoncé likely isn’t going to wear the same shade of foundation as Miley Cyrus.

Lupita and Beyoncé are most likely not going to wear the same shade of nude in anything because even though they’re both black, their skin tones are drastically different.

Failing to see these differences makes shopping an Olympic sport. I can personally attest to spending 20 minutes or more in a cosmetic aisle trying to find the right shade of concealer.

If you’re lucky enough to find a brand that serves women of color, it usually consists of three or four shades of dark brown and one that is practically purple.

And they’re always given horrible coffee-related names such as “caramel cappuccino” and “mocha.”

Women of color are either a Starbucks drink or Barney.

This is about more than makeup. It’s the 21st century, but women of color still have to go to greater lengths or create entire new brands and companies to get the products they need that will properly work for them.

Being white is still the advantage even in the fickle world of cosmetics.

People of color are still working just as hard only to be shortchanged in these small, but somehow meaningful, matters.

We still see in such simple black and white and ignore the dozens of shades in between. lnbanks@indiana.edu

MIND THE GAP

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

‘Drone strikes are acts of terror’ National Public Radio led its “Week in Politics” program Sept. 12 off with analysis of United States President Barack Obama’s address to the nation on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Various journalists and talking heads discussed the fundamentals of Obama’s speech — was it strong enough, will it get the job done, just who is ISIS anyway? Afterward, I realized the United States has bombed Iraq, in some form or fashion, since I was 6 years old — I am a 30-year-old man. This tragic tradition, now a quarter of a century long, continues with the current commanderin-chief who holds a Nobel Peace Prize.

For all this time, the United States government has carried on national engineering and acts of mass murder in the Arab territory. In his speech, Obama stated: “Our objective is clear: We will degrade and ultimately

G for go, V for vote Election season is nearly upon us, which means the time to dredge up year-old grudges and vote is near.

That’s right, folks, there’s an election Nov. 4. We’ve all been distracted by the will-she-won’t-she drama of Hillary Clinton 2016, but it’s time to pay attention to Congress for a second.

Every House representative from Indiana is up for re-election this term, including the ones who failed to vote to end the government shutdown in 2013: Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-2nd District; Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd District; Rep. Todd Rokita, R-4th District; Rep. Luke Messer, R6th District; and Rep. Larry Buchson, R-8th District.

Rep. Susan Brooks, R5th District, and Rep. Todd Young, R-9th District, originally voted for the shutdown but saw the error of their ways two weeks later.

Remember the shutdown? Sixteen days of park closures, Food and Drug Administration regulation delays, unreliable nutrition assistance, Head Start classroom closures and a worsened veteran disability claims backlog. These representatives had so much fun costing the American people billions of dollars, they just couldn’t stand to see it end!

The whole debacle was one of the many attempts by Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

Since the shutdown, major parts of the ACA have been enacted, ushering in the lowest uninsured rates on record in the United States.

Millions of newly insured Americans could lead to millions in increased productivity as wider access to preventive care reduces sick days and hospital bills.

For the doggedly “fiscally responsible” party, it seems most Indiana Republicans took an incredibly costly wrong turn when

they opted to hold our government hostage back in 2013.

Walorski, Stutzman, Rokita, Messer and Buchson don’t want government to work, so let’s put them out of a job. (I told you I know how to hold a grudge.)

First, make sure you’re registered to vote.

Hoosiers have until Monday, Oct. 6, to register for the election in November. You can go to the county voter registration office or register online at Indianavoters.com.

Know where you’re registered. If it’s too far to get there on Election Day, you’ll need to vote absentee.

You can do this by mail or by visiting home the weeks leading up to the election. You can find more details about this process at IN.gov.

Next, figure out who the candidates are. Bloomington is in the 9th District, so registered Bloomington voters have a choice between incumbent Republican Todd Young or Democrat challenger Bill Bailey. For anyone registered in Indiana’s second, third, fourth, sixth or eighth districts, you have the chance to vote against the incumbent weirdos who opted to keep our government closed rather than stomaching a bill they didn’t like very much.

Do it. For me.

And even if you don’t have a government shutdown-sized chip on your shoulder like I do, find your way to the polls Nov. 4.

Even if it is just to spite me and my vendetta against your representative, voting matters, and you get an awesome sticker afterward. casefarr@indiana.edu

destroy ISI(S) through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy.”

The next great drone war is upon us — sure to kill even more innocents. The United States government is already responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands in the region, with even more displaced and property destruction on a grand scale to boot.

The new strikes are not limited to Iraq either. Bombs will fall on Syria despite a national outcry against the administration this time last year when it targeted the Bashar al-Assad regime. They got their damn war after all.

ISIS is a terrifying regime.

The group subjugates and rapes women, kills children, and beheads prisoners. But more interventionism is not the answer. This new military campaign will only exacerbate their power, not curtail it.

A heart-wrenching video on Huffington Post shows a

Syrian baby entombed in a bombed building. The camera is focused on a group of rescue workers frantically digging through debris, laden with twisted metal, to rescue the child. The scream of the infant is distinguishable over the noise of the crowd. At the video’s end the rescue workers are successful and the terrified child is pulled from the rubble alive. The sound of jubilation in the crowd is as joyful as it is agonizing.

The up-and-coming drone strikes ordered by Obama will recreate this situation every day, day in and day out, for as long as it is sustained.

Drone strikes are acts of terror. The campaign against terrorism is itself a never-ending campaign of terror. The United States is a permanent wartime state — the world’s greatest agent of repression.

With each bomb, the world becomes less secure and less safe. With each bomb, the

United States, and by default, those of us living within its borders, become more alone and isolated in the world.

Military strikes meet shortterm political goals for the war hawks, but the enhancement of liberty is a long-term strategy.

Where there are markets, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is liberty. The more liberty in the world, by very definition, the less oppressive regimes.

I don’t want ISIS around anymore than anyone else, but the slaughter of tens of thousands is not the answer — it is the very imperialist mentality that created such a violent regime in the first place. The nation-state, for engaging in such slaughter, is itself an oppressive regime — it deserves nothing less than to be vanquished in liberty.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

How Ray Rice proves Freud wrong As a 21st century datadriven psychologist, I find it difficult to invoke the name of Sigmund Freud. In fact, when trying to type his name, I misspelled it on my first three attempts. Some sort of slip, I guess. It has been suggested by some that Freud’s influence today is more noteworthy in the field of literature than in the field of psychology. As it turns out, many of his psychoanalytic ideas have not been supported by research data.

One of his best-known concepts is that of catharsis. According to Freud, if people are given an opportunity to act out their pent-up frustrations, aggressions and violence in safe and protected environments, then their negative emotional energy will be reduced, and their overall behavior will be more positive in the other aspects of their lives.

As the theory goes, watching violent television will help me to deal with my aggressive instincts and will facilitate a more positive interaction with my family, my co-workers and my neighbors. Playing violent

computer games will satisfy my violent urges, hence improving my real-world behavior.

Catharsis continues to be a popular idea, but one that is not supported by the data. Instead, when people are given an opportunity to behave in a violent fashion (perhaps on the football field or in the boxing ring), they learn and are reinforced for their violent responses. They tend to practice those violent behavior patterns in other aspects of their lives.

The story of Ray Rice, recently of the Baltimore Ravens, is a case in point. The NFL is the target of societal angst because the story is bringing to light the large number of domestic abuse cases that have received trivial (if any) attention by the league. The NFL seems to have been much more concerned with its public image than with upholding and supporting healthy societal norms and practices.

If Freud had been right, you might think that because of Rice’s opportunity to release

his aggressive instincts in the publicly accepted and popular head-to-head football clashes, his private behavior should be less violent. It’s just one anecdote, and a single case proves nothing, but the larger picture of behavior in the NFL suggests that violence on the football field is far too often reenacted in the players’ private lives.

The media has also been covering the story of boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., who may be the highest paid athlete today. Mayweather’s comments indicate that he thinks Rice’s problem is not that he punched out and abused his fiancée, but that he got caught.

Even in boxing, it appears that the opportunity to release your aggression in the ring is not associated with a more peaceful lifestyle, as Mayweather has a long record of a troubled past.

The violence in sports goes well beyond football and boxing. I think of the violent fan escapades that sometimes occur in European soccer stadiums. I think of violent celebrations following cham-

pionship games. The problem is larger than just American football.

For several years the NFL has been struggling with the issue of concussion-related injuries and the potential for long-term debilitating brain damage.

Although these physical problems of the players are serious concerns that must be addressed, the NFL has failed to address the serious problem of domestic abuse, a problem that is far too prevalent in our society and among our athletes.

These athletic role models, who are paid millions of dollars because of their unique skills, must be held to a higher standard.

Freud was wrong. Catharsis does not drain our aggressive instincts. We do not need practice in aggression. Rather, we need to practice caring, altruistic and positive social skills.

OUR CHANGED WORLD

Consider this a wake up call, Goodell In the aftershock of both the startling revelations of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell is facing one of the greatest challenges to the League’s image in his six-year tenure.

The TMZ bombshell that Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice abused his wife, Janay Palmer, led to his indefinite suspension from the NFL at large.

This, coupled with Goodell’s admission that he was wrong on the initial twogame suspension, means the league must now aggressively investigate domestic violence.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was indicted on allegations of child

abuse. Peterson has since been reinstated by the Vikings after being suspended Friday.

But the two incidents so close to one another speak volumes about how bad timing can make what was once a much smaller issue into a conflagration of epic proportions.

The post of commissioner over an organization as big as the NFL is one of many responsibilities.

It is by no means a sinecure, but with the NFL’s ratings and viewership at record highs, and television networks paying through the nose for broadcast rights, it seems Goodell has gotten a little too comfortable in his post.

Granted, the replacement referee controversy in 2012,

as well as the two “gate” incidents (Bountygate and Spygate), put a bit of a damper on what had been a fairly sterling record.

But right now, calls for resignation are coming from feminist groups and politicians.

Even the issue with the name of the Washington Redskins did not result in this much pressure. Dan Snyder, owner of the Redskins, didn’t feel the need to resign because he did not change the name of his team.

While it is clear something is rotten about the state of the NFL, the truth remains that these are individual actions by a handful of high-profile players that have endangered the image of the league as a whole.

MICHAEL SU is a junior in violin performance.

Goodell has done a fair, albeit belated, job of introducing new policies that toughen up the league’s stance on issues that have long been ignored by far too many people.

Let us hope he and other leaders in the sports world do not sink into complacency again or else they shall face a lot more than the wrath of activist groups.

Now, there’s only the question of who saw that TMZ video in April. mjsu@indiana.edu

Republican Party.

Trying to unseat Hawk is Jeff Carson, the Democrats’ nominee running uncontested in the primary.

He is the owner of Carson’s BBQ and Catering and serves on the Monroe County Board of Corrections.

Deckard said Carson’s experiences as a small business owner qualifies him for the county council seat.

Monroe County Council, District 4 Rick Dietz is running to maintain his seat on the county council. Representing District 4, Dietz is a Democrat representing much of the downtown Bloomington community.

“Rick is very much in touch with the downtown community that makes up that B-line Trail corridor of his district,” Deckard said.

Dietz currently serves as the director of Information and Technology Services for the City of Bloomington.

Up against Dietz is Republican Greg Knott, the former chair of the Monroe County Libertarian Party. In 2010, Knott ran an unsuccessful campaign for Indiana’s congressional District 9 as a Libertarian.

Parr said he believes Knott’s Libertarian attitudes fit the ideology of many students who live in downtown Bloomington.

“A lot of students, regardless of their political or party affiliation, tend to identify with many Libertarian-type ideas,” he said.

Monroe County judge, Division 3 From traffic tickets to bank robberies, Monroe County judges have jurisdiction over every legal matter in the county.

Republican Judge Kenneth Todd is looking to keep his seat on the bench this November. A former officer in the U.S. Air Force, Todd received his law degree from the Maurer School of Law in 1970 and entered active millitary service as a lawyer .

Running against Judge Todd from the Democratic

Party is Alphonso Manns.

Manns served as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He graduated from the Maurer School of Law in 1972 and currently works as an attorney in Bloomington.

Monroe County judge, Division 4 Judge Elizabeth Cure will run unopposed in November’s election.

Judge Cure has served on the bench since 2009. Like her colleague Todd, she received her law degree from the Maurer School of Law. Monroe County judge, Division 8 Democrat Judge Valeri Haughton is seeking her second term on the bench.

First elected in 2008, Judge Haughton received her law degree from the University of Iowa College of Law. Contesting from the Republican side is Karen Wyle, an attorney and novelist living in Bloomington. Wyle graduated from Harvard Law School in 1980 and now works as an Indiana appellate attorney.

Monroe County assessor Democrat Judy Sharp is the incumbent county assessor, meaning she is responsible for keeping records of assessed property values. The county uses this information for tax-collecting purposes.

Running against Sharp is Republican William Ellis. Ellis was initially removed from the ballot after not having a level three assessor certificate but was eventually reinstated after completing one.

Monroe County clerk Linda Robbins is the incumbent Democrat in the clerk’s office. As clerk, Robbins maintains the court docket and assists the court in recording and filing information. In addition, the county clerk oversees voting documents.

Deckard said Robbins’ work as clerk has helped usher the voting process in Monroe County into the 21st century.

Running against Robbins is Republican Jacob Franklin, whose experience working in the office gives him qualifica-

tions for the role, Parr said.

Monroe County recorder Republican Jeff Ellington is in charge of maintaining records for the county as recorder. Ellington was chosen in June via a Republican caucus to replace the late Jim Fielder as recorder.

Running against Ellington is Democrat Eric Schmitz, who, originally from Kansas, has been living in Bloomington for more than 22 years.

“He has a non-traditional background,” Deckard said.

“But he has a heart for that service.”

Monroe County prosecutor Democrat Chris Gaal is running for another term as county prosecutor.

Deckard said Chris Gaal has done a terrific job at getting drugs off the street via drop boxes for expired prescriptions.

“Everyone needs a superhero, and for us Chris Gaal fits that bill,” he said.

Republican Jacob Moore will try to unseat Gaal.

Both Parr and Hogan said Moore is capable of maintaining a legal balance with the student population of Bloomington.

“That is another race that is significant to everybody in Monroe County, whether or not you are a student,” Hogan said.

Monroe County sheriff With 18 years worth of experience in the Monroe County Sherriff ’s Office, Brad Swain is running on the Democratic ticket.

Swain won in a crowded primary field to pick up the nomination.

“He has a lot of new ideas on how to expand the office in a way that benefits the people of the county,” Deckard said.

On the Republican side of the ticket is Steve Hale, a Patrol Deputy with the Monroe County Sheriff ’s office.

“He’s somebody who’s forward looking,” Hogan said.

“You need to have a good attitude from someone’s who’s in the sheriff ’s department.”

Election Day is Nov. 4 for national, state and local elections.

Yeagley still said he believes this game will not be won or lost based on how many goals his team can score, but rather how many they can prevent.

Yet despite this digital trend, publishers are resisting the idea.

“There are very few publishers that are hip to digital,” she said. They usually want a hard, physical form of the book or product.

“It’s funny with illustrations,” Alice Sharp said. “Customers have to really see what is going on.”

Which is why Alice Sharp advised the artists to show what they want to do, even if they have to make it up.

In terms of increasing an artist’s public visibility, Alice Sharp said there are online resources that are either free or affordable. She recommended behance.net to new artists.

Alice Sharp had one piece of advice to help artists in the world of publishing. Be consistent, she said.

Artists won’t be noticed if publishers can’t trust them to provide the work they were promised, Alice Sharp said.

“Look at your work as a business,” she said.

“Keep your branding and consistency.”

Against Penn State, the IU defense allowed one goal, breaking its three-match streak of shutouts, or “bagels,” as the team calls them.

“Of course we’re trying to get bagels,” IU senior Dylan Lax said. “Bagels are the key.

It’s a theme for our team this season. We need to go out and get shutouts every single game.”

The Penn State match also saw the IU attack fail to score despite 20 shot attempts. Only two of those were on goal.

Yeagley said he made sure that finishing was emphasized at practice Monday.

“We focused a lot on it,” Yeagley said. “We have to get better at it, and we’re training it. When we lose as much scoring as we have, these guys are in a lot of new roles and

don’t have a lot of reps in the final third.”

The storylines entering the match starkly contrast what transpired between these two sides just one year ago.

Butler won that match 3-2, scoring three times in the last five minutes of regulation and overtime. A dominant performance was marred by defensive lapses in the dying stretches of the match.

IU has not forgotten what happened that night in Indianapolis.

“You can’t lose a game like that and not have it in the back of your mind the next time you play them,” Doody said. “I know the returners, including myself, haven’t forgot about that and have been chomping at the bit to finally play them again.”

ITALIAN BEAUTY ‘The Italian Girl in Algiers’ opens the Jacobs season

By Liliane Ho yuehe@indiana.edu

As the curtain opens, a giant and elegant castle on stage greets the audience.

The background colors offer a calm tone compared to the fast and funny stories happening on the stage, at a dress rehearsal Tuesday night at the MAC. The Jacobs School of Music will open its season this semester with “The Italian Girl in Algiers” at 8 p.m. Friday at the Musical Arts Center.

The cast is also performing at 8 p.m.

Sept. 20, 26 and 27. Tickets are available online at music.indiana.edu or at the MAC box office, open Monday through Friday.

The performances Sept. 19 and Sept. 20 will also be available via a live stream from IUMusicLive.

The opera will be performed along with the music school’s orchestra.

The two-act drama by the iconic Italian composer Gioachino Rossini tells the story of the arrogant king of Algiers, who hopes to win the heart of an Italian beauty, Isabella.

Isabella was captured from a shipwreck and taken to the Algerian court as a prospective wife for the Bey of Algiers, Mustafa.

However, Mustafa is already married to Elvira, whom he is trying to divorce in order to wed Isabella.

Mustafa plans to wed his current wife, Elvira, to his slave, Lindoro.

However, Lindoro is already betrothed to Isabella.

As soon as Isabella sees Lindoro, she plans an escape for the two of them and outwits Mustafa.

“I believe the show addresses several issues. The very important thing would be women rights,” stage director Julia Pevzner said. “It shows that women or wives should not only be properties of their husbands.”

Pevzner originally came from a Russian heritage and lived in Israel for several years.

“I’ve done many works in the U.S. But it’s the first time I’ve come to Indiana,” Pevzner said. “I think it’s so wonderful that IU has such a professional and a great facility for its students and faculties. It’s very unique worldwide.”

The music in the opera is very emotionally colorful, said vocalist Rafael Porto, who plays Mustafa.

“I definitely think the color tune of the singing part is fantastic,” he said.

“I couldn’t have done any of it without the help of all the distinguished faculty members in the music school.”

While Porto has had opera experience in the past, including Rossini pieces, the role is still new to him.

“I’ve done many other Rossini operas, but this would be the first time I have played Mustafa,” Porto said.

“Mustafa is kind of a chief of all the lands, so he is such a self-obsessed SEE OPERA, PAGE 11

The work of Pierre Daura, a sampling of a collection from Dr. Thomas Kuebler, and ancient Greek and Roman art will be featured at the IU Art Museum this fall.

According to the IU Art Museum, “Picturing Attachments,” is the first exhibition devoted to the drawings and paintings created by Catalan-American painter Pierre Daura in response to his personal relationships.

These represented relationships will focus on his wife Louise Heron Blair, his daughter Martha and the bonds he made while serving in both the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Daura was born in Barcelona with Pablo Casals as his godfather, according to a press release. Daura studied painting with Picasso’s father before moving to Paris in 1914, where he worked with Émile Bernard.

Daura later joined the Parisian avant-garde, where he experimented with abstractinfluenced art, according to the press release.

“Brush Ink Paper” will

feature selections from the collection of Dr. Thomas Kuebler, according to the IU Art Museum.

Examples of traditional Japanese and Chinese ink painting and calligraphy will be exhibited. Works range in date from the 17th to the 20th centuries and include creations made by Zen monks, Chinese scholars and Japanese poets.

According to a press release, the exhibition is “designed to guide the viewer to a greater understanding of the history, traditions, and aesthetics of Chinese and Japanese painting and calligraphy.”

Dr. Thomas Kuebler received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins and has served for many years as president of the Asian Art Society affiliated with the Indianapolis Museum of Art. “Colors of Classical Art,” will feature the varied roles played by color in ancient Greek and Roman art. This exhibition will be sourced from the IU Art Museum’s collection of antiquities, some of which are rarely open to the public.

Many different wines are available for purchase at Oliver Winery, located off State Road 37.

Where to find the best wine, beer in Bloomington While Bloomington is known for its standout assets such as a beautiful college campus and age-old traditions, students often overlook two of Bloomington’s bedazzling beverage gems: The Oliver Winery and the Upland Brewery.

Oliver Winery first came about in the 1960s when IU law professor William Oliver used his basement to pursue his hobby of making his own wine. This hobby quickly turned into something bigger, and he opened a vineyard northwest of Bloomington.

When the vines began producing excess amounts of grapes, Oliver planned to open a winery off State Road 37 in Bloomington.

The winery officially opened to the public in 1972, and sales grew quickly when the winery began producing a

wine called Camelot Mead, a light wine made from honey.

By 1990, the winery sold 25,000 cases of wine. By 2008, the wine was being distributed in 14 states, and more than 270,000 cases had been sold.

My personal favorite is the soft rosé wine. It’s fruity and sweet, yet refreshing, making it the perfect beverage for any season and any meal.

Get your own taste of Oliver Winery this Saturday at its annual Harvest Wine festival from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The event will have wine tastings, live music, food trucks and tours of the winery. You can follow the winery on Twitter and Instagram at @OliverWinery.

Even when the winery does not have a planned event, it is a great place

to visit with friends or family when they visit you in Bloomington.

Plus, Oliver now has a Downtown Wine Bar on North College Avenue, a perfect venue for a date night or a fun and fancy night out with friends. On Mondays they have a discount with 20 percent off of all bottles for both dine in and carry out, and Wednesday deals include $5 signature cocktails.

Although Oliver is a Bloomington classic, if you’re more of a beer person, be sure to check out Upland Brewery. The Upland Brewery opened in 1998 in Bloomington, and it has brewed its own beers ever since.

The brewery has everyday brews, seasonal brews, specialty brews, sours and other brews that are the product of collabora-

tions. You can also enjoy its Side Trail series that includes an array of six homemade brews.

Embrace Upland’s Bloomington roots Wednesday evening at the Tweedy Listening Party. Tweedy’s new album will be featured.

The event starts at 7 p.m., and there will be a Tweedyinspired graffiti drawing contest. Entrants design their own Tweedy Logo on paper and are automatically entered to win prizes.

The brewery also has a casual event planned for Thursday with live patio music beginning at 7 p.m.

IU corner talks Mizzou

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

IU senior defensive back Kenny Mullen recorded three tackles in IU’s 45-42 loss against Bowling Green last week.

After a disappointing game for the defense, Mullen said he is ready for the new challenge Missouri will bring the Hoosiers at 4 p.m.

Saturday.

Q Last weekend was a bit of a rough stretch for the defensive backs. Is there anything you’ve seen on film that you might be able to learn from?

A Last week wasn’t our best week.

They played vertical balls.

We didn’t play balls very well. We had too many (pass interference penalties).

But we’ve got to flush that out and move onto Missouri, watch those guys on film and study their tendencies and see if we can’t get better.

Q I saw you and Shane Wynn went to the women’s soccer game on Sunday. What did you think of their candystriped jerseys?

A Those jerseys are sick. Me and Shane actually liked

them a lot and wished we could have had them for football.

But that’s not what we can do right now, I guess. But it looks good on them.

Q That would be quite the look. Would you wear a candy-striped football jersey?

A Oh, definitely. It might match our chrome helmets. It would be nice to do that.

Q I know you’re a student of the game and a big NFL guy.

Is there any team you watch on film or look at more than others?

A Well, first off, I definitely watch as many Packers games as I can. I’m a big Packers fan.

But just learning from any team, really. At that level, everybody’s a great player and has something you can learn from.

Being a college player and really wanting to get to that level, you’ve got to focus on any game that comes on.

Every game that you watch, you’ve got to learn.

Q I hear a lot of guys sharing football stories. Is there anything you like to tell?

A I don’t really go around bragging about plays, but a lot of what happens around

IU FOOTBALL (1-1) at Missouri (3-0) 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 20, Columbia, Mo., SEC Network here, we’re trying to take special teams to a whole new level.

Special teams sort of cost us a bit last week, so we really try to emphasize special teams and try to have fun on special teams.

So sometimes we’ll race down the field and say, “Oh, I beat you down the field.” Or “I beat you to that guy there.”

Or “I downed this punt inside the five.” Just things to make special teams fun and those competitive plays, they make us work harder.

Q Last one I have for you, but does the defense turn it around this week?

A There’s no other option at this point. We have to turn it around.

We feel like we played a good conservative game in the first half last week not giving up a touchdown.

But the second half came out, and we looked like last year’s defense. That’s not us at all.

We need to focus in practice this week and correct those errors so we can come out against Missouri flying.

We’re rounding the corner on the MLB postseason, the time when baseball surges to life.

We’re just breaking into the NFL regular season, one of the most exciting times in the sport because anything can happen.

But today, I don’t want to start by talking about the MLB or the NFL. Today, I want to start by talking about the NBA. Yes, the NBA. The NBA Board of Governors made the best decision for professional basketball when, in 2012, it unanimously elected Adam Silver to succeed David Stern as NBA commissioner.

In April, that board saw its due diligence come to fruition when Silver — just two months into his term as commissioner — laid down a life-long ban on Donald Sterling for racist remarks made by the Los Angeles Clippers owner in a conversation recorded by his girlfriend.

The Sterling sentencing earned Silver immediate respect throughout the country, establishing a rapport with NBA fans and critics alike.

Yet, when I think about Silver’s short but glorified stint as the NBA commissioner thus far, what comes to mind is not how he handled Sterling.

Instead, I visualize University of Baylor center Isaiah Austin hoisting up his jersey on the night of the NBA draft.

Despite being diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue, Austin — by Silver’s design — was drafted into the NBA as an honorary member days before the 2014

NBA Draft.

In short, it was a silver lining to the 2014 NBA season.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell faces a similar situation with domestic violence as Silver did with Sterling.

Yet Monday, when Goodell was confronted with the incriminating footage of Ray Rice, he acted with cowardice and fingerpointing, rather than as Silver did, with responsibility to a higher moral calling.

Now, more than a week later, it’s still all the country can talk about.

The hashtags “#FireGoodell” and “#GoodellMustGo” continue to dominate Twitter trends.

And each time they seem to be dying out, another case of domestic violence is unearthed (see Greg Hardy, Adrian Peterson).

It’s ugly. It’s hard to watch.

But what disheartens me even more is seeing fans turn their back on the game because of the blunders of one, classless executive.

So let’s get one thing straight: the NFL is not corrupt.

The issues that exist in the NFL are simply paradigms of real-world issues that exist across our country today.

In the shadow of the Rice tape, the Cincinnati Bengals were quietly addressing another issue in today’s society: pediatric cancer.

Devon Still, whose daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in June, was kept on the Bengals practice squad so he could continue to pay for his daughter’s treatments.

Through the sales of the defensive tackle’s jersey, the

TORI ZIEGE is a sophomore in journalism.

franchise raised hundreds of thousands in proceeds to support children in their battles with cancer.

Saints Coach Sean Peyton responded by purchasing 100 replicas of Still’s jersey.

As IU football fans, we know how easy it is to get deflated when the team loses in the final nine seconds to Bowling Green.

And we know, as students who attend a diverse university that supports equality, that it’s easy to be disgruntled with the NBA when racist remarks are made by its members.

But there is a silver lining.

With IU football, it’s Tevin Coleman emerging as a Heisman candidate.

With the NBA, it’s witnessing the gracious tears of Austin.

And with the NFL, it’s movements such as the one for Devon and Leah Still that reveal what we all need to realize: that for every disappointment, dispute and dissension in sports, there is a positive antithesis that exists elsewhere in the sporting world.

There is no doubt in my mind the NFL needs to find its Adam Silver — someone who is equipped to handle both the administrative and public responsibilities that come with being commissioner.

But until that time comes, it wouldn’t hurt for us to find the silver lining. vziege@indiana.edu

WIN TICKETS

By Evan Hoopfer ehoopfer@indiana.edu | @EvanHoopfer

IU Coach Sherry DunbarKruzan said she thought, based on practice performance during the week, her team would play well last Friday.

But they didn’t pull off the win.

IU lost to the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC), a team several IU players said they overlooked.

“We’re looking to bounce back from that,” sophomore outside hitter Taylor Lebo said. “We took them for granted. We’re not trying to overlook anyone anymore because we can’t afford to.”

IU (7-1) plays IUPUI (4-7) at 7 p.m. today in Indianapolis.

The IUPUI marketing team is billing the game as “Pack The House” night in an attempt to set an attendance record.

The most recent time IU and IUPUI played in volleyball, which was 10 years ago, the Jaguars fans set an attendance record then, too.

IU had a short week to try and regroup as it gets ready to play its first mid-week game of the season.

Dunbar-Kruzan and her coaching staff said they are trying to figure out how to translate practice success to match success.

She said the energy in practice leading up to Friday’s game against UIC was high and positive.

But IU lost the first two sets against UIC. It rallied to win the next two sets but fell

short in the fifth set, losing its first game of the season.

Not only does this problem have to do with team maturity, but overall communication on the court, players have said throughout the season.

“We’re changing practice to make it more match-situation,” Dunbar-Kruzan said.

She said during a match, there is a lot of dead time.

In between points, the ball is brought back to the team who should be served, and that takes time.

There may be a call that is being disputed by the referees, and that takes time.

What teams do during that dead time, Dunbar-Kru-

zan said, is crucial to keeping energy and chemistry high.

“You have to fill that dead space with something, and we weren’t filling it with anything,” she said. “So we worked on that in practice.”

She stressed teammates making eye contact and talking more with each other. The coaches will feed them with information and strategies.

The whole point of keeping busy during dead time is to try and keep players engaged in the game so their energy doesn’t drop.

That energy in the dead time during a match is what Dunbar-Kruzan defines as team chemistry.

When you watch good teams, they are always chatting with each other during the dead time, she said.

To illustrate her point, she pointed to the University Gym court, which is one of the smallest in the Big Ten. “This is a small court, and you have just six people on it,” she said.

“If you can’t connect with people on the court, it will look like six individuals playing. When we get into match play sometimes, that’s what it looks like.”

The new role comes with many challenges, but Porto has worked through them in practice and rehearsals, which constitute hours of work for the performers.

Each opera requires new challenges for the actors, who practice daily.

“The most challenging part of acting would be isolating myself from other characters and the audience while everything is happening, like Isabella is literally tricking me in her part.”

“The stage design is majestic, very beautiful and elegant. We have some of the best pieces owned by the music school,” Porto said. “It helps me get into the role sooner and better.

With a reception at 6 p.m.

Friday, the Venue Fine Art & Gifts is opening a new exhibit this week featuring artists Larry Wright and Linda Meyer-Wright.

After Wright retired from the Air Force and MeyerWright retired from social service, the two joined the Bloomington art community in 2000, according to a press release from the Venue.

The two work on many art projects together. Wright creates objects from wood and Meyer-Wright decorates and paints Wright’s carved objects to create colorful works of art.

Meyer-Wright also works individually, working with encaustics and alcohol ink paintings. Through her art, she explores the Japanese world-view of Wabi Sabi.

The concept comes from a Buddhist teaching that is centered on acceptance of imperfection.

In Meyer-Wright’s encaustic work, she uses hot wax and applies it in many layers to her pieces. Each layer can be sculpted and carved, and the wax can be colored, clear or opaque. Meyer-Wright is also scheduled to demonstrate her techniques at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 23 at the Venue.

Meyer-Wright and Wright’s exhibit will run until Oct. 2.
