IS IT TRUE January 29, 2014

IS IT TRUE January 29, 2014

IS IT TRUE that we have all seen or heard about the new name that the performing arts center formerly known as The Centre?…most are even aware that the Vanderburgh County Commissioners signed a naming rights deal with Old National Bank for UP TO $14 Million?…the reality of the situation was made very clear yesterday when the City County Observer published the agreement and the minutes of the meeting that the deed was ratified by a 3 – 0 vote by Commissioners Abell, Melcher, and Kiefer?…the taxpayers of Vanderburgh County are not getting a red cent for the naming rights?…ONB may be making an investment of UP TO $14 Million in a new downtown convention hotel?…for that investment they will find some sneaky but legal way to own a proportional share of the hotel with all of the rights and responsibilities that ownership brings?…our County Commissioners actually gave  ONB roughly a million dollars worth of tickets, free use, etc, in the performing arts building formerly known as The Centre to make a private investment in a commercial enterprise?…while this is a slap in the face of the taxpayers of this county it is an absolute stroke of genius and has taken SNEGAL (sneaky but legal) to a new level?…these commissioners, if they actually thought of this, are wasting their talents?…these commissioners or whomever came up with this SNEGAL scheme should be playing with the big boys on Wall Street creating credit default swaps and other SNEGAL paper products to make enough money in a week to build a downtown hotel themselves?

IS IT TRUE that the State of Indiana has now passed an ordinance to control those noisy but inexpensive micro-crotch-rockets known as scooters?…Evansville was recently profiled in the Wall Street Journal for as one of Americas scooter zones?…the reality of the situation is that scooters are cheap transportation and are the only affordable way for some people to get around town?…if scooters are stamped down by the long arm of the law both people and the businesses that employ these scooter people will feel disruption?…while we understand the need to regulate that legislative bodies often succumb to we think that scooters should be as easy to register as a dog because they provide a vital and needed transportation alternative in a city that has low pay and limited public transportation?…scooters are a good solution for much of Evansville and need to be embraced as an alternative form of transportation?

IS IT TRUE that President Obama’s opening salvo in his 5th State of the Union address sounded more like George Bush or Ronald Reagan than what we have become accustomed to from this President?…when the statement “FIRST CLASS JOBS GRAVITATE TO FIRST CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE” came from the President’s lips it got this writer’s attention?…hopefully it got the attention of the powers that be here in Evansville too?…President Obama did not say one word in his economic comments about parks, temples to sport, tourism, or hotels?…that alone should be a word to the local government?…the President went on to call out the CORPORATE TAX CODE for paying American businesses to offshore jobs and cash?…the words opportunity, innovation hubs, patent reform (so business can invest in innovation and not litigation), streamlining the permitting process, and my favorite “the best measure of opportunity is access to a good job?”…these words on the economy have been needed for many years?…quite frankly if one compares George Bush’s 2007 SOTU address to President Obama’s 2014 SOTU, one would be amazed at the similarities?…this writer was shocked, amazed, and encouraged from last night’s speech?

IS IT TRUE the efficacy of these grand notions will however come down to execution and implementation?…with program after program and most recently the roll out of the ACA that the Obama Administration has failed miserably?…if one is challenged to find a way to make a website work in 3 years for over $600 Million, the innovation and business building exercise may be insurmountable?…Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary commented after the SOTU that the President is “swirling in a mire of executional delusion?…many other op-ed writers from both sides of the aisle have pointed out this administrations history of failure to launch anything at all?…the CCO hopes this time the President comes through on the economic side as to wish for anything else would be like accepting another 3 years of stagnation?…this writer runs the innovation hub in Palm Springs, CA which was the first innovation hub formed 3 years ago?…the person who wrote that initiative is the same person who went on to become the COO of the federal EDA and put this bug in President Obama’s ear?…the story of the CViHub and the federal Innovation Hub initiative will be the subject of an op-ed that was written last week and is in the editing rooms of three national publications now?…of course the CCO will have reprint rights next week?…it is very supportive of the new President Obama but does concentrate on the need for excellence in implementation?…the title is “to build the impossible dream” taking the next step necessary to avoid the fate of Don Quixote who only “dreamed the impossible dream” but never executed it?…last night the President reminded us that the dream was still alive?…it will be up to all of us to ever see it implemented?

Charities can offer bigger prizes under bill passed by Senate

0

By Allie Nash

images-11INDIANAPOLIS – Charities that use gambling to raise revenue have something to be excited about.

On Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill that would raise the prize on charity gaming events from $10,000 to $30,000.

The bill garnered just eight no votes in the Senate.

Representatives of charities testified in a committee meeting earlier this session that they need higher payouts because Ohio and Kentucky don’t have caps on winnings. They cited Indiana’s cap on payouts and a smoking ban for a decline in gambling revenues.

The bill now moves to the House for consideration.

“The Cultured Pearl Affair”

0

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Zeta Zeta Omega Chapter

Presentsywca

DATE: Friday, January 31st

LOCATION:
Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science

TIME: 6:30 p.m.

ATTIRE:
Classy Casual or Business

The local chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is presenting a special event to kick off Black History Month this Friday night at 6:30 p.m. at the Evansville Museum of Arts, History, and Science. “The Cultured Pearl Affair” features admission to the new “Posing Beauty in African American Culture” exhibit with a guided tour by the museum curator.

A panel discussion about the evolving standard of beauty in American and in African-American Culture will follow and will be moderated by Dr. Annette Parks, Chair, Department of History; Director, Gender and Women’s Studies Program at University of Evansville. Admission is $10.00 which includes entry to the “Posing Beauty” exhibit and appetizers. Admission for students with ID is $5.00. Tickets may be purchased at the door.

The “Posing Beauty” photography show explores the contested ways in which African and African American beauty have been represented in historical and contemporary contexts through a diverse range of media including photography, film, video, fashion, advertising, and other forms of popular culture such as music and the Internet. “Posing Beauty” presents works that capture the aesthetics of more than 40 photographers and artists and their relationships to their subjects. While the show is curated from a photographic or visual viewpoint, it’s hard to ignore the subtext of its images, which are

divided into three categories: “Constructing a Pose,” “Body and Image” and “Modeling Beauty and Beauty Contests.”

The photos “challenge idealized forms of beauty in art by examining their portrayal and exploring a variety of attitudes about race, class, gender, popular culture and politics,” according to program notes. The exhibition includes arresting images such as Lyle Ashton Harris’ 1987 “Miss America,” which shows an African American woman with white face makeup and an American flag draped across her bare upper body, and Lauren Kelley’s 2007 portrait of a woman with hair picks tipped with the black power closed- fist symbol radiating from her head to form an afro shape.

Taken together, these photographs are far more than just striking pictures of African American men and women. They document concepts of beauty throughout several decades of African American culture. And each piece is the starting point for an intriguing discussion about what is considered beautiful, both within African American culture and within society in general.

Subjects such as beauty queens, 1960s swimsuit models, barbershop culture, couples donning church clothes and music icons such as James Brown and Otis Redding are presented in the various categories, though it’s not always apparent why some pieces are placed in certain sections.

Overall, the juxtaposition between the historic (women clad in frilly white dresses and sun hats in 1938 Louisiana) and contemporary photos (a striking portrait of Michelle Obama taken in 2006) works to draw parallels between past and present notions of what is beautiful and to reference continuing themes of aesthetic ideals within African American culture.

In 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority became America’s first Greek-letter organization established by Black college women. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is a sisterhood composed of women who have consciously chosen this affiliation as a means of self-fulfillment through volunteer service. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. cultivates and encourages high scholastic and ethical standards; promotes unity and friendship among college women; alleviates problems concerning girls and women; maintains a progressive interest in college life; and serves all mankind through a nucleus of more than 260,000 women in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa.

STATEHOUSE – House Bill (HB) 1286 authored by State Representative Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) passed out of the House today with a unanimous vote and will now go to the Senate further discussion.

HB 1286 requires the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), the Indiana Finance Authority and Purdue University to provide annual reports to the Joint Study Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Assessment and Solutions.

“This method has been used successfully by the Indiana Utility and Regulatory Commission for a long time as a way to collect information,” said Rep. Sullivan. “Not only will this give legislators timely, relevant data to help them work successfully during the interim, it will also give more detailed insight into how we can continue improving Indiana’s transportation systems. I look forward to seeing this legislation move through the Senate.”

Dr. Bucshon Responds to SOTU

(Washington, DC) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, a physician from Southern Indiana, released the following statement in response to President Obama’s State of the Union address.


Dr. Bucshon stated:

“I hoped the President would take tonight as an opportunity to offer real solutions that address the challenges we face as a nation.  Families are struggling in the Obama economy, growth is stagnate, and confidence is at an all time low, yet we heard the same political rhetoric from behind the podium.

“The President called for action on jobs, yet his policies have led to the lowest labor force participation rate since the Carter administration, more Americans are living in poverty than when he took office, and nearly 8 million Americans are involuntarily employed part-time.

“Despite the President’s promises, healthcare costs are on the rise, patients are being dropped from their health plans, and many are losing access to their doctors. Young people are struggling to get on their feet and find a job after they graduate from college.

“The House is working to expand opportunity for all Americans so that they can build better lives. We’ve passed over 40 jobs bills that still sit in the Senate, including approval of the Keystone pipeline. We’ve offered healthcare reforms that reduce rising costs and put patients back in charge of their decisions because our goal is to provide quality, affordable healthcare to all Americans. And, we’ve worked to reform taxes so that everyone is on a level playing field.  

“Instead of reaching across the aisle to work with us on these issues, the President spoke more about executive fiat and working around Congress. This is not what our founders intended and is an ineffective approach to leadership during divided government.”
