Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJOther than the disappointing, anticlimactic Game 7 with the Miami Heat, this was a terrific year and fabulous playoff run
by the Pacers. We owe the players and team officials a huge vote of thanks.

Steven Libman / Special to IBJJay Harvey, the performing arts critic for The Indianapolis Star, retired from the paper May 17. Given the importance
of the arts to central Indiana, not to mention the amount of advertising bought by arts organizations, one would think the
Star has a plan.

Mike HicksI am often asked to explain why more and better local amenities matter to job creation. It is a simple concept, really. Families
make choices about where to live based upon a variety of factors, including playgrounds, safe and attractive neighborhoods,
and recreational activities. They will sacrifice to obtain these things, commute long distances and even forgo higher wages.

Andrew Rosenberg / Special to IBJThe Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act presents employers with new choices regarding their employee benefit plans.
Indeed, while the act may be full of bad news for employers (fees, complicated provisions, uncertainty on specific requirements),
there is good news, as well.

Thank you for pointing out the absurdity of having The Naked Cowboy at Zoobilation. For the life of me, I don’t know why anyone would want a picture with that guy, but there were plenty of folks lined up to get a shot with him. The event could have used more restrooms out on the bridge, more photo booths and vendors offering something besides meat. There were a few more veg-friendly options this year than last, but it has a long way to go.
Went to Zoobilation Friday night and had a great time. The weather was super nice and the food was very good, for the most part. Lots of sliders this year at many different tents. The slider from Alexander's was inedible, all four in my group ended up tossing it after one bite. Some tents were out of food by 8:30 and one bar area was out of cups at 8:30, not sure how that can happen. Great event in Indy and I look forward to it each year.
Many of the small community hospitals are now owned by the "cash-strapped" Indy biggies, with more coming. The doctor-practise buying has been done precisely to sidestep tiered payments for out-of-hospital procedures. These are no better done, or safer, because someone administers a pain shot or snaps an x-ray in a doctor's office. And the non-payment issue is resolved next year when we all have insurance, even though many still think paying private insurers an extra 10-20% is what makes our system "world-class".
I'd love to see this rendering put into the context of the surrounding neighborhood/area to get a better feel for the surrounding scale. However, just by the looks of it, it appears to be an excellent project. I'm pretty sure that if Scott Olson had said nothing regarding Chicago or Wrigleyville, Mr. "Horrible" would have found nothing bad to say. I'd love to know how Indy is becoming "Chicagofied"...
Truly great and funny play. Vocalists were Broadway caliber and stage settings ideal for small stage. Would go again!
