No one on earth knows exactly what an "intervention specialist" is supposed to do. And no one can demonstrate that an "intervention specialist" will improve academic performance. SBHS has every sort of student from very high achieving, very wealthy white kids to very low income kids with long criminal backgrounds. If it were possible to hire a superhero to make at-risk students into four-year college bound success stories then every high school would have hired an intervention specialist a long time ago.

"Journalism" not up to Indy standards.
The previous principal is on his way out, no need to take cheap shots about his "reputation" for aloofness.
What's the point of printing second hand subjective attacks on a person's character in a feature story?
The guy is gone, so why kick him as he's walking out the door?
I don't know either the old or new principal, but I do know lousy, gossipy writing when I see it.
I'm an avid Indy reader and I've even been published on these pages, but the passage about Capritto is unnworthy and disappointing.

It's all a matter of personal taste. I'd rate Cajun over Esau's but not by much. It would be a question of how long the line is at each place.
As for Tupelo, IMHO, it is way over-rated and similarly over-priced, and the faux-homey decor seems overly gentrified and tourist oriented to me. Cajun and Esau's are functional mostly local clientele, hash-house blue collar joints: much more to my liking.

Dunno about this camel's back... online sources say Baupost is old Boston money to the tune of $1.7 billion. They may be in this for the long, costly haul. Steve Amerikaner always aligns himself with big bucks.

Twiins were inexperienced amateurs who got in way over their heads and dragged a bunch of others underwater with them. No basis for a lawsuit or even sympathy for these two.
Still, I wish the city big enchiladas would pursue policies of enforcing rules and ordinances on the nasty panhandlers and the obnoxious homeless (as opposed to the unobtrusive simply homeless) as strictly as they did with the twiins.

I reached the tipping point with homeless people last week when I walked by a guy pissing on the corner of the Courthouse lawn right next to the sidewalk at 10 o'clock in the morning.

info, you don't get it... a lot of kids who have adopted a gang mentality DO want to end up in chains and pictured in the newspaper and on TV. It is viewed as success within the life.

revisionist: Indy isn't responsible for the smirky arrogance that the defendant presents. Murder charges are his moment in the sun and he looks as if he has achieved stardom in his own mind. The photos are simply conveying his expressions. It is up to the viewer to decide if they glorify the guy or whether the images capture his pathetic, very limited mentality.

Too big next to the Arlington. Views of the most singular building in the downtown area will be lost almost completely from Victoria Street. Look at the story poles.
Also, too pricey. IMHO, we shoujld support affordable rental development downtown but there is no market for million dollar plus condos, nor will there be even by 2018.

If the team was putting in 6-7 hour days then they were violating NCAA rules. Vom Steeg has made a career of pushing the limits and encouraging players to do the same, but eventually that aggro-attitude comes back to bite you.
