It is our position that the state of Indiana is losing valuable income as a result of its failure to adequately enforce laws requiring residents to purchase Indiana plates for all automobiles. Although Indiana’s budget is much healthier than many states, we can ill afford passing on any lawful opportunity for revenue.

Office parks, manufacturing facilities, and even one’s neighborhood host numerous vehicles with out-of-state plates, often expired! Collectively, the loss of revenue from these vehicles denies the state much-needed tax dollars, all the while shifting the burden to law-abiding citizens.

State law requires residents to register vehicles and purchase plates within 60 days of moving into Indiana. Likewise, we must secure an Indiana drivers license within 60 days. Failure to secure these represents a violation of the law, a loss of revenue to the state and a hindrance to law enforcement and other officials. No one likes taxes and fees. Yet the current financial situation is causing hardship for all, and “overlooking” these violations may seem harmless to some, but we citizens of Indiana are the losers.

Officials must step up enforcement. And if we are unlawful, we must make an effort to find remedy or face the consequences.

Representative

It is our position that a healthy dose of skepticism is warranted whenever a person or group purports to represent a broad demographic. No large collection of people, whether defined by race, religion, geography, social status or other such criterion, can possibly possess unanimity in opinion on any topic, yet too often we see a person or organization advance a position on behalf of an entire group.

Sometimes it is simply the loudest voice that drowns out the nuances of opinion within a group. Given his claims, does Al Sharpton represent the views of all African Americans? Does Rush Limbaugh speak for all conservatives? Other times, a formal association is used to advance a position that is not shared by all members. Many senior citizens join AARP for the discounts that come with membership, but disagree with its advocacy of ObamaCare and other matters of its political agenda.

The media often facilitate this phenomenon by falling into the easy trap of defining the opinions of an entire group by the positions advanced by the most vocal of its members. We, as consumers of media and thoughtful participants in the democratic process, must be alert whenever it is claimed that “a group” thinks “this way.”

Stay safe pool side

FROM THE BACKSHOP The season for patience approaches We all knew this was coming, and now it’s almost here. As Orange Barrel Season continues its annual bloom around these parts, we’re calling for an extra measure of serious patience as the 126th Street bridge spanning I-69 is closed next month so it can be rebuilt. Soon after the last of the fireworks have created a sulfuric delight in early July, the road across the interstate will be shut down as part of a $7.6 million project. Is it a pain in the neck? Certainly, it is. Must you exercise “serenity” as the state and town make the thoroughfare safer and better for all? Certainly, you must. Should you be planning your personal detour? Certainly, you should. Now, before we all know it, order will be restored and a spanking new span will help you get to and fro, presumably by mid-November. Oh, also watch for occasional lane closures below the site on the highway. Fishers is kicking in about 20 percent, and the rest of the dough comes from the Indiana Department of Transportation, which manages federally doled-out funds.

Improved infrastructure is the end game.

Watch for it to be helpful to you.

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg ••• Congratulations to all the recent high school graduates in our midst. While some departing students may view the pomp and circumstance as a long, boring affair, the rest of us might tend to get a little choked up at this rite of passage. Our “future,” for the most part, is headed off to college, where, we hope, the foundation will continue to be built upon so that they may become part of a great next generation. There remains so much to achieve, so much to accomplish, so much to repair. Our generation isn’t necessarily getting it done. The future is yours, grads. Own it!

ReaDER’S VIEW Get your facts straight about coyotes Editor, I wanted to comment on the May 24 editorial titled “ Coyote infestation.” I was very disappointed to see someone who is clearly ignorant on coyotes got an article on page three right at the top.

Coyotes are not responsible for going around killing dogs. They eat mice and rabbits and help keep the ecosystem in balance. Without them, we would have rodents everywhere!

Coyotes are not aggressive by nature. They do not go around attacking people or pets. Most people will rarely see them, and if you do, they run from you.

Sometime a “coydog,” which is a domestic dog/ coyote mix, will exhibit more agressive tendencies, but this drives the point for people to again be responsible pet owners and not leave their dogs unneutered/unspayed. Also not leaving pets out at night unattended is smart. Suggesting coyotes be relocated is purely ignorant and ridiculous! We have moved into their habitat and need to be respectful. The fact that they are so resilient is credit to what amazing animals they are! Thank you for your time.

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers I’ve written before about the absurd amount of time I spent as a teenager shutting down horseplay poolside with my lifeguard’s buoy and whistle.

For so many summers, this week would have marked the opening of the pool. And this summer is no different. Unfortunately, swimming season was ushered in this year by a near drowning on the Southside.

For capable swimmers, being in water feels perfectly natural; we can forget how dangerous it actually is, and how quickly that danger can appear. It can only take an unexpected gulp of water, or a jump into a too-deep pool, to send a child or unskilled swimmer into a panic. This holds true for adults as well, who can be especially problematic as their struggles inhibit or endanger lifesaving efforts.

My goal is not to create a fear of the water, but to encourage parents to enroll their kids in swim lessons, and let adults who might not be as comfortable in the water know it’s never too

late to learn. I’ve had students who were still in swim diapers, and I’ve had students with AARP memberships, and all of them were fully capable of learning to swim. Swimming is great exercise, even well beyond the age where land-based activities may be too much, and it’s fun, too.

While I’m on the subject, if you get a chance, consider taking a CPR class. The aforementioned near drowning was diverted from total tragedy by the efforts of someone at the party who performed CPR on the unconscious swimmer. It’s an important skill to have, and along with swimming, one of the rare subjects I’m willing to get up on my soapbox about.

That being said, I think we’re all due to enjoy some nice weather. Maybe I’ll see you by the pool.

Elusive balance COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker As our government continues to push toward yet another temporary tax fix, we can all rest assured the issue is not resolved. Sure, a bill will be passed, and there will be great congratulations and chiding from all sides. Some will take credit for assuring the continuance of pet federal programs, while others will celebrate success in stemming the tide of run-away spending.

But isn’t this debate continuing? Don’t we routinely push and pull to support our own perspective on how and when to use our resources?

In times when our collective revenue is down (government rarely makes any money, but instead takes a share of that which it facilitates and we earn), the issue of allocation may be exacerbated. But it remains ever present even in times of great abundance. So if the debate over immediate needs and wants is recurrent, when do we address the more overarching issues? Can we ever consider the longterm and the short-term contemporaneously?

In our own family, we struggle with the bal-

ance between what we give, what we buy, what we invest and what we save. Immediate needs so often seem to dominate more thoughtful consideration of building a purposeful future. With the harvest, we risk over committing, then face shortfall when the seasons change.

So many of us plan retirement, mortgages, college loans and any of an array of moves ever expecting the sunshine to remain, yet rain does fall Ohers never enjoy the blue skies hiding indoors, expecting storm clouds. There have been times when we’ve raised our collective family “debt ceiling.” A new home, auto or business can easily require the hit. But there are, likewise, times when we retire debt and hold back, in spite of abundance, to refill the coffers. And so the debate rages and the perfect answer eludes.

Advice from a shopping pro COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson I go to the grocery store at least twice a week, sometimes more. And on average, I spend about a hundred bucks per visit. Six to seven gallons of milk, five boxes of cereal, two bunches of bananas, yogurt out the wazoo, bread, snacks … you get the picture. The point is, I know my way around Meijer, and I have my grocery shopping down to a fine art. (“I work in dairy the way other artists might work in oils or clay.

It’s my true medium. A master.”) Many of you, however, do not. So, in a moment of selfish kindness, I have listed below my steps to an efficient grocery experience.

1. Have a list. This is Grocery 101 here, people. You have to have a list of the things you need or want in order to maximize your budget and shopping trip. This is both to prevent you from buying things not on the list (impulse purchases like Pringles and beef jerky) and to ensure you get everything your family deemed important enough to actually write on the list.

Usually it’s the stuff you don’t know about − husband’s razors, daughter’s deodorant, cat’s food, etc., − essentials that you will most definitely hear about when forgotten.

2. If you patronize superstores, park at the non-grocery end of the lot. You can usu-

ally find a better spot, and the check-out lanes at the retail section tend to be less crowded. You’ll also feel smarter.

3. I shouldn’t have to mention this, but I realize I am dealing with some amateurs here: Always park as close to a cart corral as possible. (And if you’re pregnant or have small children, take advantage of the “Expectant Mothers” spots!) This saves time and energy during the cart-to-car transfer and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Start at the back and work your way to the front (or left to right in a horizontally laidout store). This prevents backtracking and usually puts you in the opposite direction of inefficient and inexperienced shoppers, whom you must avoid at all times. Pretend they are zombies.

5. Only use the self-check line if you have less than 10 items and 75 percent of those are pre-packaged. You are not a professional cashier! You do not know from memory the scan code for radicchio!

6. Never get in line behind women over the age of 30 (unless it’s me). I’m telling you straight up, this is one area where men actually have it down. They purchase less, never use coupons, and usually pay with cash. I think it’s because they don’t want

to be there, so they are trying to get out as fast as possible. Me likey!

7. Choose your cashier carefully. Ideally, you want a male. They chit-chat less and can easily be intimidated by your feminine wiles should a discrepancy arise.

8. Sort your goods on the conveyor belt into these categories: cold and frozen products, boxed goods, cans and jars, produce, and smooshables like bread and chips. This allows your male cashier to scan and bag more efficiently, and ensures that dairy and meat purchases stay colder longer.

(Doo always teases me about this whenever I allow him to tag along, but just this weekend I had a cashier actually thank me (right in front of Doo) for my anal retentive organization and confirm that this technique does, in fact, speed up checkout. It was a delicious moment for me.

So there you have it, good people of central Indiana. Now go forth and shop efficiently!

Peace out.

Gold stars all around Commentary

By Susan Bryant When my children were babies, I remember the pediatrician recording their heights and weights meticulously every visit on their growth charts. As they steadily went up the curve, it seemed like a solid indication that I was doing something right as a parent (even though I knew babies are pretty much just programmed to grow.) Talking with other new mothers, we couldn’t help but compare notes on who had the longest baby, the heaviest baby, etc. You got a secret thrill if your child was “excelling” at height or some other trait attributable to genetics, but nevertheless, hopefully reflected on your parenting skill.

From then, the bar was set to whose child was already sleeping through the night, had mastered potty training or was an early reader.

Heaven forbid the other toddlers were walking already and your kid could be used as a doorstop.

Although my kids are older now, not much has changed. I can’t help but be made aware of the many achievements of children all around me. Driving around town, bumper stickers tell me who is the proud parent of a cub scout, an honor roll student and a D.A.R.E. Graduate. I saw a web site recently poking fun at this phenomenon by selling “achievement” bumper stickers for adults that read “Got off the Couch” and “Went to Work”. It does makes you wonder what motivates us to announce our accomplishments so publicly. (Thank you for advancing the cause Twitter and Facebook.)

I think kids inherently know, unless we con-

8 | June 7, 2011

vince them otherwise, what true achievement means. If you’ve earned a real trophy, being handed one for merely participating doesn’t feel the same. Every minor accomplishment that results in a gold star diminishes real effort and hard work.

I’m all for fostering esteem in children. I drank the Kool Aid long ago about how critical it is to develop this make or break trait early and often. And I hope I’ve done a good job of it with my kids. It feels like the holy grail of good parenting. But the line between self esteem and self promotion is getting fuzzy.

Trying to encourage the attributes of modesty and humility is an uphill battle when our culture so often embraces a “look at me” philosophy. Kids emulate the elaborate touchdown celebrations of their favorite athletes. The more outrageous a reality show “star” is the more attention they receive. And attention seems to be what we’re after. When we do witness someone being humble, it’s so noteworthy and refreshing because it seems unusual.

We’ve done a good job in our culture promoting self esteem in our kids. Being proud of one’s abilities and accomplishments is a good thing.

Our challenge as parents is to balance that trait with the equally important qualities of modesty, humbleness and humility in our children.

We have to live with them you know.

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers Teachers and staff from Fishers Elementary School on Tuesday presented the Fishers Fire Department with three new pet oxygen masks for use on fire department ambulances.

Funds were raised through a $5 donation staff members made to wear jeans once a month. Collected money was then donated to a different organization. Invisible Fence Brand’s “Project Breathe” was the recipient for May. The project seeks to equip every fire state in America and Canada with pet oxygen masks, which allow firefighters to give oxygen to pets who are suffering from smoke inhalation when they are rescued from fires.

“We realize that humans are the first priority, but in many cases, pets can be saved if firefighters have the right equipment,” said Brad Bennett of Invisible Fences of Central Indiana.

“Project Breathe is simply a way of giving firefighters the tools necessary to save pets’ lives.”

Fire department officials called the masks a “blessing for Fishers.”

“In a lot of cases, the humans are out safe,” said Ron Lipps, deputy fire marshal. “It’s the animals that can’t get themselves out. It would be a shame to be in a situation where we could have made a difference and not have the

A demonstration of how the mask is used masks.”

The idea to donate to “Project Breathe” came from Fishers Elementary School Principal Patty Mansfield.

A home for

history The Ambassador House provides space for Fishers’ art and history to flourish

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers Before there was the Town of Fishers, there was the Ambassador House.

The original two-story cabin which would become the Ambassador House was built in the early 1800s. It was on what now is the northwest corner of 96th Street and Allisonville Road, and sat there as a largely unremarkable dwelling until Addison Harris and his wife, India, took up residence at the turn of the century. Harris was the U.S. ambassador to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now part of a number of European nations including Romania, Serbia, Austria, the Czech Republic and Croatia.

lis Museum of Art, along with her dresses.

“I think that history needs to be kept alive,” Newell said. “India wasn’t just connected in Indianapolis. She knew what was going on in the world, and she brought Newell it to the community. It just seemed right for that to carry on.”

Saving a piece of history Only a day before a scheduled demolition in 1996, the Ambassador House was rescued by the Fishers Historic Preservation Committee and the Historic Landmarks Foundation. The house was cut into two pieces, and relocated to its current location in Heritage Park at 106th Street and Eller Road.

In the 13 years between the building’s rescue and its official reopening in 2009, extensive work was put into researching the history of the house and the Harrises, and into surveying the community to decide what the house should eventually become. As well, the house itself had fallen into startling disrepair.

“It was a barebones structure,” Newell said. “The lathe and plaster was completely gone. It was a skeleton of a place, with a lot of potential.”

Newell said that survey results found Fishers residents craving arts, music and culture. She added that she thinks the Ambassador House is in a position to do that.

Newell herself will be offering a lecture on June 16 at the Ambassador House beginning at 6:30 p.m. She will be demonstrating pastel painting, and discussing the current Indiana art scene.

This year marks the rollout of several new programs for the Ambassador House, including the Wedding Belles Bridal Showcase, which was held in March, and a Harvest Wine Tasting coming in

Addison Harris’ work gave the house its name, but it was the zeal of India which gave it its spirit. India was a passionate art lover, and one of the founders of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Her court dresses now hang in display in the museum’s textile collection.

For Fishers artist Pam Newell, who served both on the board and as the executive director of the Ambassador House, it was India’s story that struck the most poignant chord.

“She went to law school, but wasn’t allowed to sit in for the bar (exam),” Newell said. “And yet, she did so much. We think that Fishers doesn’t have a lot of history, but she was involved all over.”

India’s portrait was painted by famed society portraitist Cecilia Beaux after the death of Addison. That painting now hangs in the Indianapo-

September. A full schedule of events can be found online at www.ambassadorhouse.org. Additionally, the Heritage Gardens are available to the public as a natural space for community or business events, and there will be gardening lectures offered throughout the summer.

Still, while she’s excited about all of the activity at the Ambassador House, Newell said the history is what she remains the most passionate about.

“The house is just a shell,” she said. “It’s the stories that are within the house that are so meaningful.”

Is it singular or plural?

GRAMMAR LESSON

By Brandie Bohney When my older daughter was an infant, I was picking out tile at a home improvement store with her when a kind elderly gentleman stopped to tell me what a beautiful child she was. She was – and still is – a beautiful child, and I was flattered except that the man kept referring to her as a boy: “What a darling little guy,” “He’s so happy,” and so on.

Normally, determining the gender of an infant can be hard: most babies look like some combination of Winston Churchill, Yoda, and a boiled chicken. But clothing can provide an important clue, and on this particular day, my daughter was wearing a purple shirt with pink and green flowers on it and pink, green, and purple-striped pants. Very girly.

In much the same way, most of the time, nouns are good at showing their plurality. Of course, just as in the case of the kind man at the hardware store, some people are going to screw them up anyhow. But in general, they’re pretty obvious.

But what about the nouns clad in green or yellow? You know what I’m talking about: species, ethics, dominoes, measles. What are they?

Singular? Plural? Both?

Unlike the baby wearing an ambiguous color, these nouns aren’t one or the other. They’re

www.youarecurrent.com

both. There are a few types of nouns that have the same form whether they are singular or plural, but both forms appear to be plural because they end in –s.

The trick in using these stubborn nouns correctly is simply in knowing whether you mean to use the word as a singular or a plural. For example, measles is singular when referring to the disease but plural when referring to the spots on one’s body.

Measles is a viral disease.

Drew said his measles were itching.

In the case of ethics, when referring to the study, it’s singular. When referring to moral principles, it is generally plural.

Ethics is a challenging major.

The boss’s ethics are questionable.

And so on. As with so many word-specific issues, if you aren’t sure, look it up. It only takes a moment to check the definition online or in a handy pocket reference dictionary (everyone has one of those, right?), and it’s better to be certain than to be wrong.

DISPATCHES » Beware of ‘meat glue’ – Ground beef contains the meat from hundreds of animals from different parts of the world, but the same can be true for prime cut steaks. That’s possible through the use of so-called meat glue, used to “super-glue” small chunks of meat together that are too small to sell, and passing it off as prime cuts. Meat glue is an enzyme called transglutaminase. Some are produced through the cultivation of bacteria, while others are made from the coagulant that makes blood clot. Reports show that the bacterial contamination of meat glued steak is hundreds of times higher than a solid piece of steak, and this practice is used in chicken and lamb, too.

Escape passes make fun and fitness accessible COMMENTARY

By Susan Beaurain Has it been a long week at work? A tough day at home? Ever wish you had a temporary escape? A place you could go to relax and play with the family and forget about work for awhile? An escape where the faces that greet you are smiling and are glad you’re there? Just imagine it. It’s within your reach, and all for less than the price of a latte a day.

The Monon Community Center has an Escape pass for every household and a destination for every member. Escape passes include unlimited access to the entire, modern facility including: a gymnasium featuring three full size courts, indoor pool with lap lanes and slides; a fitness center offering cardio, weight machines and free weights; the KidZone—childcare with a tree house, and one-eighth mile, indoor track, and outdoor water park featuring five pools.

Household passes include group fitness classes, which cost a nominal additional fee for adult or senior escape passes.

We often hear the question: “Why can’t I buy just the fitness center or just the pool? It’s the only part I use.” Let us help you expand your escape, try a new workout space, get in the pool, head outside and zip down a slide.

Germs: The Unwelcomed Co-workers

Being proactive about your blood pressure, sugars or cholesterol can pay off significantly, and Stephen P. Dewey, MD, is dedicated to making sure that patients have the information they need to address these common health issues.

We all know germs are everywhere. It’s why many of us are extra careful in places like public restrooms, city buses or our local gym. But it may surprise you to learn that germs also share a space where you spend most of your day — your office.

and keypad of your phone with antibacterial wipes, cleaning the keys of your keyboard and avoiding communal candy bowls around the office. But your best defense against the unwanted co-workers is good personal hygiene.

While you’re putting in those extra hours, germs are working overtime right alongside you, hanging on to your phone, clinging to your keyboard and resting on your mouse. And they work hard, too. Flu organisms can live up to 7 days on most surfaces.

“Always be aware of where your hands are and what they’ve just touched, “ said Webber. “Simple things like covering your mouth with your arm when you cough and washing your hands regularly can go a long way.”

“The elevator button, the copier button, even an ink pen someone has dropped can harbor bacteria,” said Mary Webber, Infection Preventionist at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast.“We carry organisms on our skin all day long, and they can be left behind on anything we touch.”

The reality is that a lot of germs end up where they do because of us. And as long as we’re around, they’ll be around. As Webber suggests, the best way for you to be conscious of germs, is to be conscious of yourself.

“You can’t control what someone else is doing with their hands. But you can control what you do.”

Born and raised in Indiana, Dr. Dewey graduated with honors from Indiana University School of Medicine and completed his residency at St.Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. He is board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine.

Dr. Dewey enjoys caring for patients of all ages and has a special interest in well-child care and preventive medicine. He points to the long-term relationships he develops with patients as a particularly rewarding aspect of his practice.

DISPATCHES » Pros, cons of engineered wood – Engineered wood flooring is best for easy installation with the warmth of wood. This veneer over substrate can usually be nailed, stapled, glued or floated. It often can be refinished once. But, it can be damaged by spills. Many types wear relatively quickly and can be dented easily. Average price: $5 to $10 per square foot.

Their waxy formulas resist dissolution on damp skin; plus, lip pencil under gloss makes the shiny layer last longer by giving it something to adhere to, says Chantel Miller, senior makeup artist for the MAC Pro Team. For super budge-proof color, look for waterproof formulations. Try Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye and Lip Pencils ($18 each, Sephora), and store them in your fridge.

Homemade chocolate waffle bowls for your summer ice cream party COMMENTARY

By Ashley Phipps I love that it is finally warm enough outside for popsicles and ice cream! There is not much better then sharing a popsicle with your children, or a friend outside on a warm day.

But when you are looking for something a bit more “upscale” than popsicles, ice cream is a favorite alternative. And it is actually my preference. I love ice cream!

And if you decide to have an ice cream party to cool off in the middle of the summer like I just might do, here is a fabulous way to serve your ice cream: in homemade chocolate waffle bowls!

Homemade chocolate waffle bowls are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! They are soft and just a bit chewy, and they are a great compliment to any ice cream!

(And yes, these can be made without an expensive waffle cone maker!)

CHOCOLATE WAFFLE BOWLS Ingredients: • 1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate • 2 tbsp. butter • 2 whole eggs • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/2 cup granulated sugar • 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder • 1 tsp. vanilla extract Directions: 1. Preheat a pan with a flat bottom on a medium-low temperature.

2. Place the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Stir to combine then set aside to cool for five minutes.

3. Beat the eggs and salt in a small bowl with a fork until well blended.

Beat in the sugar until sugar is incorporated and the eggs have lightened in color slightly, approximately one minute. Stir in the melted chocolate and butter. Add the flour and cocoa powder, stirring slowly until all flour is moistened. Beat another few seconds to incorporate the flour and remove all lumps. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter in the center of the pan.

Working very quickly, spread until thin. Cook on both sides.

5. Immediately place the chocolate waffle, into a small bowl to form its shape. Leave in the bowl until it cools completely.

6. Enjoy with ice cream!

DISPATCHES » Five good Euro stocks? – Nomura Equity Research has six banks in its European recommended portfolio, five of which trade on U.S. markets. Three are large, diversified regional institutions: UBS (UBS), BNP Paribas (BNPQY.PK) and Lloyd’s (LYG). The others are Bank of Ireland (IRE) and National Bank of Greece (NBG). The last two choices have declined by more than 80 percent and 70 percent, respectively, since Nomura added them to its portfolio in December 2009.

Five months ago, the sector started picking up, adding over 100,000 jobs in December and January, according to data compiled by ADP, a payroll processor. In April, however, businesses with fewer than 50 employees added 84,000 jobs, down slightly from the 100,000 jobs added in March, according to ADP’s most recent report from early May. The positive hiring numbers suggest the sector is strengthening slowly after getting hard hit during the recession.

Three stock picks geared toward Asia COMMENTARY

By Ryan Fuhrmann During the next couple of years, the International Monetary Fund predicts emerging economies will grow nearly twice as fast as developed ones. It predicts the fastest growth will occur in developing Asia, with China and India leading the way, and projects average growth of 9.6 percent and 8 percent in those countries over the next two years. This trend is nothing new, and emerging Asian markets were mostly unfazed during the credit crisis.

Given Asia is where most of the world’s economic growth is likely to occur in the coming decades, here are three stock picks to take advantage of this phenomenon.

Banking giant HSBC is based in the United Kingdom and counts on Asia for a third of its sales and more than half of its profits. It bills itself as the world’s local bank, serving 95 million customers with branches across Europe, Latin America, and parts of the U.S. It got burned during the financial crisis by buying a subprime lender in the U.S., but is recovering. It trades with a low price to earnings (P/E) of 11 and has an appealing dividend yield of 3.5 percent.

MetLife used to primarily be a U.S. life insurer but added Asian exposure by purchasing the ALICO division from beleaguered insurer AIG. Like

HSBC, it is a giant financial institution and serves 90 million customers in 60 countries, with 30 percent of its total premiums now from overseas and focused on Asia. Its P/E is even lower at less than 9 and its dividend yield is decent at 1.7 percent.

As unlikely as it sounds, car giant General Motors is the market leader in China with a market share of more than 13 percent. China and Asia, in general, still make up a small percent of sales, but a leading position in what is now the world’s largest auto market could eventually start to make a big contribution to overall sales and profits. GM is a play on the global auto market, and with a P/E of less than 8, global economic recovery, and rapid growth in Asia, it could see solid stock gains in the next couple of years.

Playing in the financial space and cyclical automotive market is not without risk, but the above players should see solid gains in Asia in the coming years. If all goes well, it should eventually result in higher stock prices.

Researchers reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that those who ate more MSG had higher production of leptin, which plays a role in appetite and metabolism regulation.

-Reuters » Eat right days before training – A sports nutrition article from Iowa State University states that it’s not just the pre-exercise meal alone but the meals you eat in the two to three days before you exercise that fuel your muscles. So it’s important to eat high-energy meals a couple of days before serious training or an event (track meet or basketball game, for example). Within two hours before exercise, try a high carb/energy drink or fluid replacement drink. If you have less than an hour before activity, just have water or a fluid replacement drink. During an event, go for water, and don’t bother with energy drinks— they don’t increase performance for exercises under 90 minutes.

Fat: Gone today, here tomorrow COMMENTARY

By Barry Eppley Liposuction remains the most rapid way to lose unwanted fat, albeit a surgical one. While it is ideal for those people who have made every effort to lose on their own through diet and exercise, not every fat area responds the same. Some fat areas are more difficult to lose than others, and certain fat areas can not be reduced at all except in the face of extreme weight loss. It is these non-metabolically responsive fat areas that justify liposuction intervention.

One of the very good questions any prospective patient should ask is, “Will my fat return?”

There are many urban myths, but science and a lot of patient experience provides the following insights.

Fat will not return after liposuction. This is patently false. The reality is fat can return.

The results from liposuction are closely aligned with your weight. If your weight stays the same years from now, then so should the result. Fat after liposuction can return just as easily as after weight loss.

If fat comes back after liposuction, it will go to other body areas. This is sort of true, but not to the extent of what was originally removed. A recent published study showed fat suctioned from the stomach and thighs of women created some slight increase in measure-

Current in Fishers

ments in the arms and upper back a year after surgery. But not to the extent that the women noticed or were bothered by it.

Fat cells are permanently destroyed by liposuction. This is not true. Those fat cells that have been suctioned out are permanently removed. But there are always lots of fat cells left behind, as you cannot, nor would you want to, remove them all. While the fat cells left behind may be damaged, they have a great ability to heal and regrow. Because it has been discovered that fat sites have the highest amounts of stem cells in the body, and stem cells can be easily stimulated to grow and transform into fat cells, liposuctioned fat sites are not immune to recurrance. This may be different with the current use of Smartlipo (laser liposuction), where the heat from the laser energy can cause more fat and stem cell damage.

Despite the effectiveness of liposuction to reduce unwanted fat, the long-term success of the procedure is highly dependent on the lifestyle habits of the person on whom it is performed.

Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

‘Man Cooking’ nothing more than a myth HUMOR

By Mike Redmond Summer is here, hooray, which means it is time once again to light the grill and once again experience the Grand American Tradition of food ritually immolated over an open fire.

Cooking outdoors, of course, is Man Cooking. This is because all American Men over the age of 18 believe they are born with a special Outdoor Cooking Gene that gives them power over combustible substances, such as charcoal, LP gas, and really cheap hot dogs.

Because they are nice people, women let us have this conceit. The truth of the matter is anyone can be a perfectly competent grill cook, but women stand aside and let men think they are born to it, mostly because it’s just so entertaining.

Here in Central Indiana, the most popular items to grill are steaks, chicken, burgers and brats.

For the sake of clarity, grilling brats means cooking sausages, not interrogating the smart-alecky neighbor kids you suspect of demolishing your mailbox.

Of course, the more advanced grillers such as moi are more adventurous in the foods we victimize. I mean select. We might opt to cook a duck, or a leg of lamb, or vegetables, or fruit, or even pizza on our grills.

Anyway, here is a short list of non-barbequeable foods you newbies might want to avoid: • Cheese.

• Pasta.

• Peas.

• Pie. Don’t ask me how I know this. I just do, OK? Which brings me to another important suggestion: Always make sure you have the proper cleaning equipment around. Not only will it remove the bad-idea food residue, it will go a long way toward cutting down on that pesky ptomaine poisoning by ensuring you always have a safe cooking surface for the food you ruin.

Yes, I said ruin. Let’s take a steak. This should be simple. You take a slab of meat, put it over the fire, cook it a short while, turn it over, cook it some more, and then eat it. Easy, right? No. The trick is timing.

All properly timed outdoor grilled steaks are juicy, tender and cooked to the diner’s preference. The other 99 percent are either Pittsburgh rare (black on the outside, raw on the inside), or ready to be made into sandals.

Ah, but enough negativity. Let us think instead of the glorious summer days ahead and the manly thrill of food on the grill grill. Oh, and don’t forget the cheap hot dogs. Yes, they’re inedible, but they make terrific fuel for your Tiki torches.

But skip the peas. Trust me on this.

Lazy Cakes are like Ambien CR in a chewy chocolatey square with a layer of fudge in the middle. The product, sold at convenience stores next to 5-hour energy drinks, Slim Jims and butane lighters, provides a mega-shot of natural herbs that the manufacturer claims will result in the best snooze of your life. The Lazy Cakes package is emblazoned with a cartoon brownie called Lazy Larry, whose drugged-out smile suggests the same thing I was talking about in the first paragraph.

The major ingredient is a sleep-inducing substance called melatonin, a chemical that is produced naturally in your body, but apparently not nearly enough at night and too much when you are at the 2 p.m. staff meeting or in church on Sunday.

There are some major concerns about this new product. Toxicologists report, for example, that in the USA last year there were 5,000 melatonin-related calls to the poison center. In another study, scientists claim the ingredients in Lazy Cakes that make you nod off quickly may be detrimental to women who are trying to conceive. Ya think?

26 | June 7, 2011

Of course, there are blogs for consumers who, once they can crawl out of bed, want to share their Lazy Cakes experience. “I ate one while I was watching TV and it made me so sluggish I didn’t even want to grab the remote,” wrote one man. Lazy Cakes may be this year’s most popular item in Dad’s stocking.

One woman claimed she threw a Lazy Cakes party and everyone indulged: “All our bodies went limp. We closed our eyes. There was yawning, then snoring. Suddenly, we were on our way to bed at 10 p.m.” This sounded like last New Year’s Eve with my wife and our closest friends. Except we all ordered bread pudding and four regular coffees.

Personally, I’m not a big chocolate fan. So, I’ve also drafted a letter to my friends at Cracker Barrel asking if maybe they could spike their roast chicken with a little melatonin, a smidgen of rose hips, some valerian root, and a hint of passion flower, all proven to give you heavy eyelids.

One final note on melatonin from the New England Journal of Medicine: “After frequent consumption, it will stop working.” And so, by the way, will anyone who takes it.

Love of outdoors father’s greats gift COMMENTARY

By Randy Sorrell My passion for incredible outdoor living spaces is my father’s greatest gift to me.

Born in the mid ‘70s when BTO, Foghat and Aerosmith rocked, the hidden passion brewed with our forced visits to Mounds State Park, Kilbuck and Shady Side to do the things families do at parks: run trails and attend family reunions. It surged in 1980 as dad, Crooksy and I shared stories on our Anderson interpretation of a brick charcoal grill station and arched concrete patio while burning hamburgers at 3 a.m.

Fast forward several decades and a few careers later, and we find ourselves participating in an American revolution of outdoor spaces.

Cocooning, grilling, fire pits and outdoor funning are major popular – and I’ve never been popular before.

One of the most gifted landscape / design / funning firms in town is Pro Care Horticultural Services steered by Lowell Rolsky whose silent, yet confident leadership is a direct influence of his father, Mort. Dad founded the company in 1972, and it progressed handsomely until Lowell released his creative juices and advanced their firm to one of the area’s most admired. With a fresh perspective, he tells me, “There are no great jobs, just great customers”.

Mort passed away in 2004 (four years after my father) but not before witnessing the fruits of his stewardship, which fueled Lowell to choose the green industry as his talented profession. Lowell became amazed with the opportunity to create something from nothing.

He realized, long before the masses, that an incredible outdoor living space can dramatically affect the lives of others. And he loved working with his father.

A plaque outside Pro Care’s door honors Mort with words like founder, mentor and unselfish encouragement. Great words for a great man.

Hardwood flooring: Beauty and basics COMMENTARY

By David Decker Beauty, lifespan and versatility are three great virtues of hardwood flooring.

Knowing what kind of wood flooring is available, and what to put where, maximizes those virtues.

Hardwood flooring comes in two basic types: solid and engineered. Solid is just what it says – solid strips of hardwood usually three-quarters of an inch thick. Engineered hardwood looks exactly like, well, hardwood, because that’s what it is, but “engineered” (manufactured) like highquality plywood.

The veneer (surface you see) on engineered hardwood flooring can be sliced from tree stock like solid flooring, or rotary peeled, which creates dramatic graining.

The functional benefit of engineered flooring is its stability, being far less susceptible to the effects of humidity because it is cross-grained and glued. Not quite as thick as solid wood flooring, engineered flooring is strong in every direction and can be cut into wider planks for a modern and elegant look. Narrower strips give wood flooring a more traditional and busy feel.

Solid wood tends to swell, warp and “gap” between boards in high-humidity environments; therefore it is not something normally installed in a basement or on a cement slab. Engineered wood has several cross-patterned layers glued together, which limits its movement and expan-

sion/shrinkage with the seasons.

Solid wood has a lifespan of 100 years or longer because it can be sanded and refinished, usually up to three times. Engineered flooring can last from 40 to 100 years depending on the thickness of the veneer and can also be sanded and refinished.

Cost, installation and overall value of solid wood vs. quality engineered wood flooring are more or less equal. You’ll want to talk with a flooring professional to determine what best accommodates your needs, but the decision resides in the application, taste and heart, not so much the pocketbook.

Plentiful and renewable in nature, wood provides a hypoallergenic and easy-to-clean surface that doesn’t harbor mold, mites or microbes.

It’s easy to count the ways hardwood is a great flooring choice.

Thursdays are now ‘Purrsdays’ COMMENTARY

By Rebecca Stevens Did you know that on any given day, the Humane Society for Hamilton County houses anywhere from two to three times more cats than dogs? The spring and summer months are the most challenging for the shelter, as the kittens begin to arrive in droves. That’s why we are pulling out all the stops to make it easier than ever before to adopt a feline companion.

For starters, we have flat out eliminated Thursdays from our workweek.

Effective immediately, every Thursday is now a “Purrsday,” which means all kitten and adult cat adoption fees will be discounted by 50 percent.

That’s just $37.50 to adopt the feline of your choice, which includes their spay or neuter, microchip, at least one round of vaccines and 30 days of pet health insurance. Not too shabby!

And for the month of June, which is National Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month, we’re doing something we’ve never done before. Kittens are typically the most popular among our adopters. What many don’t realize is great benefits come from having an adult cat to show a new tot the ropes.

So with every kitten adoption in June, you can also take home any adult “cat nanny” at no charge! Your nanny cat will help

We are counting on our community to come to the aid of the Humane Society for Hamilton County and decrease the population of unwanted, abandoned and abused cats and kittens in our care.

reinforce proper litter box behavior and mentor your new kitten like only another cat can. Now, we can’t guarantee your cat nanny will have an English accent, but we do think he or she will help your new kitten score an A+ as a wonderful new addition to your home.

We are counting on our community to come to the aid of the Humane Society for Hamilton County and decrease the population of unwanted, abandoned and abused cats and kittens in our care. These innocent animals are depending on your kindness and willingness to give them each a second chance. In fact, at this very moment, there is a paw reaching out of a cage or kennel whose only hope is that you’ll be there on the other side.

For more information on animals available for adoption, please visit our Web site at www.hamiltonhumane. com.

Rebecca Stevens is executive director of the Humane Society for Hamilton County . You may contact her with questions, solutions and story suggestions at hamiltonhumane@yahoo.com.

Pets of the week Brewster is a 6 year old male golden Corgi mix. Brewster is a very outgoing and active boy who loves to run and play. He is also very intelligent and has managed to teach himself to become an escape artist, so he will need a fenced in yard but will need to be supervised while outside. Brewster is house trained and knows some basic commands and he also very affectionate. He is best friends with his brother, T-Bone, and they are very attached to each other and will need to be adopted together and they would be best suited in a home with children age 10 or older.

Frost is a 2 year old male brown tabby DSH. Frost is a friendly guy who is just thankful to be alive after being found in the middle of the road with a broken and frozen tail. He was brought to the shelter in mid-January and was dehydrated and emaciated so he received immediate medical attention. Frost has been in a foster home recovering from his injuries, gaining some weight and he is now healthy and ready to find his forever home. He has become quite personable and really enjoys attention and having his head and chin scratched. He also enjoys a soft blanket, regular meals and the safety of being an indoor cat.

For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974
