You can teach ability, but not passion'; Most Little 500 riders train for months, but some train year-round
Bloomington Herald-Times, April 14 -- To the average spectator, the Little 500 begins and ends in the span of a passing afternoon, but to the teams that will finish at the top of the standings, the race begins much sooner than that. To win this race requires a combination of talent, skill, determination and luck — and not necessarily in that order.

Time-change bill sent to panel for a rewrite
Indianapolis Star, April 14 -- With no fanfare, debate or even the words "daylight-saving time" mentioned, the Senate voted Wednesday to send the time-change bill crafted in the House to a joint legislative committee to be rewritten. The voice vote by the Senate, with no individual votes recorded, is no indication of how lawmakers feel about the controversial issue itself. Instead, the vote was a necessary procedural step to move the bill to the conference committee of two senators and two representatives.

Budget balancing act
Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette editorial, April 14 -- The Senate version of the $24.2billion budget represents both good news and bad for Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. While the House version had set aside a 7percent increase for 2006 and 8percent for 2007, Senate budget-makers came up with increases of only 2.5percent and 0.3percent over the biennium. The editorial noted, "Still, it was good news considering that some state universities lost ground. Overall, the state's higher education institutions average an additional 0.2 percent increase over each of the next two years. Its better-than-average increase will allow IPFW to make up some ground in inequitable per-student funding."

Report: Parents key to college education
Sacramento Business Journal, April 13 -- Nothing gets kids to enroll in college more than having parents who value a college education and push their children to get one, according to a study released Monday by the California Student Aid Commission and EdFund, two nonprofits based in Rancho Cordova involved with student loans and grants. The report, "Missing the Boat: Why Some Make It To College and Others Don't," is the analysis of a random sampling of high school students who applied for student aid in 2002. The goal was to determine the differences between those who were enrolled in a postsecondary program six months after graduation and those who were not.

Federal obligations for research at universities rose to $21.81-billion in the 2003 fiscal year, an increase of 10.3 percent over the previous year, according to preliminary estimates released this week in a report by the National Science Foundation. Increases for the life sciences drove much of the rise, reflecting the completion in 2003 of a five-year effort by Congress to double spending at the National Institutes of Health.
