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.

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.
