Experience doesn't mean talent
September 5, 2009
Paul Barada’s argument that teachers with 30 years of teaching
experience making $50,000-plus a year are underpaid is flawed.
MoreBENNER: Football season arrives - and so do these questions
September 5, 2009
Bill Benner"Is Indiana now a football state?" and other questions.
MoreEDITORIAL: City government in financial bind
September 5, 2009
IBJ StaffThe solution to the property tax fiasco that swept Republican Mayor Greg Ballard into office in 2007 is making his job harder,
and
it could lead to his undoing.
MoreMAURER: Can you puzzle out My Word?
September 5, 2009
Mickey MaurerI recently welcomed a special guest to “Mickey’s Corner”—Will Shortz, the crossword editor of The
New York Times and the riddle maven we love to listen to every Sunday morning on
National Public Radio. In order to engage this creative genius, I conceived a challenge that I present to
you now: a two-part game called My Word.
MoreHICKS: Card check folly and the demise of unions
September 5, 2009
Mike HicksThis Labor Day sees the American labor movement in serious decline. In fact, U.S. private-sector union membership
has been in serious decline for three decades.
MoreSKARBECK: Iceland offers case study of economy out of control
September 5, 2009
Ken SkarbeckNowhere else on the stage of global economics was financial boom and bust more surreally scripted than in the small isolated
country of Iceland.
MoreDINING: Canal eatery recreated
September 5, 2009
Lou HarryIt’s called Creation Cafe (337 W. 11th St., 955-2389), but a better name for the restaurant at the top of the downtown
canal might be Re-creation Café.
MoreCOTA: File sharer Drop.io is as an Internet team player

Jim CotaNeed your entire team—no matter where they are—to be working together? Here's a site that will help.
MoreMARKETING: Why Discount Tire gets my vote, again and again

with outstanding results.
MoreALTOM: Want to experiment with 'Vanishing' e-mail?
August 29, 2009
Tim AltomI’m wary of the “send” button. I’ve sent thousands of e-mails, and a fair number of them proved
to be problems later on.
MoreMARCUS: Some things must be repeated
August 29, 2009
Morton MarcusSome things need to be repeated over and over again. Repetition is required when a concept is hard to grasp or when narrow
interests are allowed to override the public interest.
MoreBARADA: What's wrong with this picture?
August 29, 2009
Paul W. BaradaThere are some pretty basic things out of whack in our society. Not too long ago, a local newspaper reported that a union
member from an area General Motors Corp. plant, with a job title of something like “assistant tool room organizer,”
was being paid in the high $20-per-hour range, not counting benefits. The only requirement for the job—maybe a high
school diploma.
MoreHealth care system is a travesty
August 29, 2009
I just want to thank you for [Bruce Hetrick’s] insightful article in the Aug. 10 issue regarding health care reform.
You say it well.
MoreCouncil faced unpleasant choice
August 29, 2009
[In the Aug. 17 editorial] IBJ accuses elected officials of making decisions based on partisanship rather than
good judgment. This superficial pronouncement of the reasons behind Proposal 285’s vote tally lacks thoughtful evaluation
of why councilors cast their votes the way they did at the August 10 council meeting.
MoreShredding paper beats burning it
August 29, 2009
After reading [Tim Altom’s Return on Technology column] in the Aug. 17 IBJ on whether shredding or burning
documents provided the greatest security, I felt compelled to send you a note.
MoreMarcus wrote sanely about 'insane' issue
August 29, 2009
It was good to read Morton Marcus’ [Aug. 17] reasoned and sane synopsis of a subject that has become a lightning
rod: health care “reform.”
MoreDINING: A worthwhile stop on the road to IU
August 29, 2009
Lou HarryEven the most hard-core local-restaurant advocates make exceptions when they hit the road. But on a recent drive, I found
an alternative to fast-food pit stops.
MoreBENNER: Honoring Knight is the right thing for IU to do
August 29, 2009
Bill BennerEven as one of Knight’s most ardent critics during the latter half of his tenure at Indiana, I concur with the majority
of opinions expressed on the subject.
MoreBASILE: When cruising Antarctica, comfort isn't first priority
August 29, 2009
Frank BasileThere are cruises to the Antarctic in large luxury ships that go near the islands—close enough to afford
magnificent views. But those ships are too big to get close enough to go ashore.
MoreEDITORIAL: Teacher certification proposal deserves OK
August 29, 2009
IBJ StaffIndiana’s top education official, Tony Bennett, ruffled feathers last month when he proposed increasing teacher expertise
in math, science and other subjects, and stripping red tape from teacher certification and hiring of administrators.
MoreKATTERJOHN: Role model leading College Mentors
August 29, 2009

a laundry list of accomplishments in her relatively short life.
MoreHICKS: Clunkers popularity went beyond consumers
August 29, 2009
Mike HicksThe Cash for
Clunkers program has seriously challenged my high-mindedness. It is time for a bit of soul searching.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Quality time on the Fringe
August 28, 2009
Lou HarryBy definition, the non-juried IndyFringe festival has a crapshoot quality. My advice to new Fringe-goers is usually to
go to at least three shows and be fully prepared to hate at least one of them.
MoreSKARBECK: For numerous banks, times still troubling
August 24, 2009
Ken SkarbeckEvery Friday after the markets have closed, my e-mail starts getting dinged by the FDIC. That is when the government agency
publicly announces the names of banks that failed during the past week.
MoreHICKS: As classes begin, students have fresh opportunity
August 24, 2009
Mike HicksClasses start this week at Ball State University, and other colleges and universities across the country. For many, it is
a bittersweet moment, as parents say goodbye to their now young adults, handing them over to professors and scarily youthful
resident hall assistants for safekeeping.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.
Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?
a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.
millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.
