Indiana firms lash out against patent proposal
March 16, 2009
Four Indiana businesses have joined more than 100 major companies in an open letter to President Barack Obama, outlining what
they believe are weaknesses of patent reform legislation now before Congress and voicing concern about its potential economic
impact.
MoreSupreme Court decision unlikely to end voter-ID fight: More cases arise to challenge strict state statute
June 30, 2008
Two months have passed since the Supreme Court of the United States upheld Indiana's voter identification law requiring photo
ID for anyone casting a ballot in-person. Potential sequels are already in the litigation works, though it's debatable whether
they are actually considered "sequels." While plaintiffs separately contend that the Supreme Court case, William Crawford,
et al. v. Marion County Election Board, either doesn't apply or endanger their claims, the pair of suits signify the first
Indiana cases to come since...
MorePresidential campaigns hitting a sour note?: Candidates using pop songs face IP issues
March 17, 2008
Presidential campaigns hitting a sour note? Candidates using pop songs face IP issues While this may be "Our Country" and
you may have been "Born in the U.S.A.," that doesn't mean you can use those tunes in political campaigns without venturing
"Into The Great Wide Open" of intellectual property law. Political candidates have been discovering this truth for decades
as they've used musical hits at political rallies and campaign events, including the 2008 presidential election season. Wherever
people gather to...
MoreLate action complicates tax planning: AMT legislative fix may mean delays
January 7, 2008
Expect the early tax-filing season to be a little muddy in 2008-and a tax package already received by mail from the Internal
Revenue Service doesn't mean you're off the hook. While many Indiana taxpayers are now protected from additional federal taxes
for another year thanks to late action by federal lawmakers in mid-December, millions will have to wait until February to
get tax refunds in the mail because of that congressional delay. On Dec. 19, Congress gave final approval to...
MoreCarmel claims victory in latest annexation court case:
October 22, 2007
Carmel has another appellate victory on the issue of annexation after an Indiana Court of Appeals ruling on Oct. 17. The state's
second-highest appellate court decided that the city adequately proved it could afford to annex part of a nearby community
into its municipal borders, and that a Hamilton County judge erred in auditing a financial plan and ruling in favor of the
remonstrators. The unanimous decision in City of Carmel v. Certain Home Place Annexation Territory Landowners, No. 29A04-0510-CV-578,...
MoreDuke lacrosse publicity a concern to all prosecutors: The 'Nifong effect' likely to have an impact on public perception, courtroom strategy, Indiana attorneys say
June 25, 2007
Indiana prosecutors worry about heightened suspicion of any charging decision they make as a result of the recent highprofile
disbarment of a North Carolina prosecutor. Talk started months ago, but banter took a new surge following Michael Nifong's
nationally televised disciplinary proceeding June 16. He was disbarred for violating professional conduct rules in his prosecution
of three Duke University lacrosse players falsely accused of rape. "Around the country and here, prosecutors are talking about
the Nifong effect," said Stephen Johnson,...
MoreState begins modernizing case-management systems: Moving from paper to electronic records a big task
June 25, 2007
Beside a marble counter in the Appellate Clerk of the Courts office at the Indiana Statehouse, a one-room storage area known
as "the vault" is the storehouse for paper case files. Each is bound by string and has case numbers written on an attached
tag, and they only move to be carted between floors and buildings when a court needs to review a file. While the clerk creates
an electronic docket at the appellate level, that system remains largely unconnected...
MoreCourts grapple with issues arising from Internet, blogs: Educators explore policies for off-campus activity
March 12, 2007
The World Wide Web and blogging explosion have created new hurdles for attorneys, especially those consulting on issues that
arise from school districts trying to balance off-campus activities and school safety. As officials recognize that off-campus
activity can spill into school hallways and classrooms, many are looking to policies that can prevent those actions outside
school from impacting student safety or the overall educational process. "Internet blogging is one of the more publicized
activities that pose both harm and benefit,...
MoreEstate planning lawyers can become specialists: New exam lets Indiana attorneys become certified
September 25, 2006
Attorney Jeff Hawkins has focused his law practice on estate planning and administration law for 14 years. He considers himself
experienced but is not yet ready to declare himself a "specialist" or "certified" estate-planning attorney. That happens in
November, and the designation depends on results of an exam. The Indiana State Bar Association has recently adopted a plan
to make estate planning and administration a specialty status of law in Indiana, joining four other focuses that have donned
the stature...

These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.
The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)
As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.
The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.
I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
