FELDMANN: Don't seek attention, generate it
July 27, 2009
Derrick FeldmannIn case after case, we see businesses and not-for-profit organizations launching initiatives, holding
events and undertaking other activities for the sole purpose of “awareness raising.” And
in case after case, we see that the public failed to respond the way the organization expected.
MoreIndianapolis Public Schools needs more than it gets
July 27, 2009
This year will be our 18th year as IPS parents. My husband and I are college graduates, upper-middle
class. He is employed full time and I’m self-employed part-time. We chose to stay in IPS
and try to make a difference for the many classmates that have no one rooting for them at home.
MoreBenner column provides hope
July 27, 2009
Thanks for writing such a wonderful column, full of hope and encouragement to those of us who could use
a little of that right now.
MoreEDITORIAL: Wishard's smart planning shields taxpayers
July 27, 2009
IBJ StaffA referendum this fall on Wishard Health Services’ plans to build a $754 million hospital will tell a lot about the
mood—and savvy—of Marion County voters. In this economy, and with government at all levels strapped
for cash, the knee-jerk reaction might be to reject such a proposal.
MoreMAURER: My rascal cousin is back in space
July 27, 2009
Mickey MaurerAt precisely 6:03 p.m. July 15, space shuttle Endeavor blasted off from launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center for
its scheduled linkup with the International Space Station. My cousin, Indiana astronaut David Wolf, is on board.
MoreHICKS: What happened in California could happen here
July 27, 2009
Mike HicksCalifornia can no longer sustain its government. This is the lesson for Indiana.
MoreDINING: The Eiteljorg cafe where soup is always on
July 27, 2009
Lou HarryIf all outdoor dining were as comfortable and stress-free as Sky City Cafe's, maybe I'd do it more often.
MoreSKARBECK: Growth of private trading should have us all worried
July 27, 2009
Ken SkarbeckIt is ironic that in the aftermath of the credit crunch, with investors calling for more market transparency from Wall Street,
opaque trading markets are thriving.
MoreHETRICK: Visiting Alaska, and sticking final pin in the map
July 27, 2009
Bruce HetrickIn my parent's basement hangs a map of the United States stuck with multicolored push pins showing where they've lived
and visited. Until a few weeks ago, there were pins in every state but one.
MoreBENNER: Mom and Lance Armstrong had cancer in common
July 20, 2009
Bill BennerA few years ago, when cyclist extraordinaire Lance Armstrong was in the midst of his phenomenal seven
straight Tour de France titles, those yellow Livestrong bands seemed ubiquitous. But when Armstrong left
competitive cycling, gradually those rubber yellow bands faded from view. I kept wearing mine, however, to remind me of the
courage of my mother, Emma.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Abe Lincoln is back at Spencer County theater
July 20, 2009
Lou HarryAfter I discovered it one summer, Lincoln Amphitheatre quickly became one of my favorite theaters in the state. Nestled
in a state park in Spencer County, the covered-but-still-outdoor theater’s anchoring attraction was a show about young
Abraham Lincoln, who spent his formative years just yards away.
MoreDINING: We'll take sushi over cigars, now and Zen
July 20, 2009
Andrea Muirragui DavisThis week, our exploration of the city’s cultural district dining took us to Mass Ave, where the culinary cultural
offerings just might outnumber the artsy fartsy stuff. Our destination: Bu Da Lounge (429 Massachusetts Ave., 602-3643), which
bills itself as an Asian-inspired cigar bar but is generating buzz for its sushi selection.
MoreSTYLE: New retailers add dimension to canal-side shopping
July 20, 2009
Gabrielle PoshadloAlong with the debut of this new column, focusing on style in Indy and beyond, comes a Broad Ripple shopping
shuffle, where the reorganization of two mainstays has given way to new life along the canal.
MoreBATTEN: FTC could resolve antitrust concerns on health care reform
July 20, 2009
Linda M. BattenPresident Obama recently announced a cooperative initiative where health care industry leaders plan to
work together to reform the ailing health care system. Shortly after that announcement, the national
media machine spawned considerable concern among several health care groups that the cooperative effort might violate
federal antitrust laws for collusion and price fixing among competitors.
MorePEASE: Archaic physical therapy laws drive up health costs
July 20, 2009
Brian PeaseIf you want to see a physical therapist in Indiana, you must first see a physician for a consultation
and referral. It’s the law. Indiana is one of only six states where patients are denied direct
access to physical therapy treatment, and one of only two states where evaluation without referral is
prohibited.
MoreEDITORIAL: City's fiscal creativity deserves support
July 20, 2009
IBJ StaffIn trying times, people and businesses often have to get creative to make ends meet. The same should hold true for local
government. That’s why we commend city leaders for thinking outside the box in considering two initiatives
to cut costs and generate public revenue.
MoreKATTERJOHN: Climbing mountains for Parkinson's
July 20, 2009
Chris KatterjohnWhat is it about mountains? People climb them because they’re there. People climb them because the experience
is humbling and rewarding. People climb them because they represent a physical and mental challenge that, once met, is deeply
satisfying.
MoreMARCUS: Men, women use time differently
July 20, 2009
Morton MarcusOn an average day, nearly 83 percent of women, but only 64 percent of men, spend time engaged in household
activities, according to a recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Plus, when women engage in household activities,
they average two hours and 35 minutes per day while men average two hours and one minute.
MoreLIPPERT: GM woes strike close to home
July 20, 2009
Douglas LippertAs someone who grew up in Michigan during the 1960s and 1970s, watching General Motors Corp. self-destruct was like seeing
a loved one make bad decisions then watching him suffer the consequences.
MoreFedEx must maintain flexibility
July 20, 2009
Like many businesses and local commerce, the FedEx Express hub at Indianapolis International Airport is trying to thrive
during a decline in shipping and an increase in fuel prices.
MoreIPS was winner in state budget
July 20, 2009
IBJ is completely off base to suggest that the new state budget was “balanced on the backs of poor children.”
As has been true of every state budget for the last two decades, students in Indianapolis Public Schools and other urban districts
are actually the biggest winners in this budget.
MoreArea cities have curb appeal
July 20, 2009
I agree with [Morton Marcus’ June 15 column] on urban entryways. I just wanted to point out that two of our
small towns in Indianapolis have done a good job of making entryways into their community attractive.
MoreStopping nukes should be priority
July 20, 2009
Uniting the Arab world toward accepting
Israel is very important, but stopping Iran from developing nuclear capability must be top priority for all our world.
MoreBrebeuf makes green strides
July 20, 2009
In 2007, Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory
School was named the first Green Flag School in Indiana as part of a national environmental awards program
that creates safer and healthier school environments through investigation, education, innovation and action.
MoreECONOMIC ANALYSIS: Stimulus plan must work now ... or it never will
July 20, 2009
Mike HicksThe postmortem and dissection of the federal economic stimulus plan have begun in earnest. The president
has added to his woes by saying the stimulus will take years, not months, to work, and his chief economist
managed to squeak out the headline or two that the worst is ahead of us.

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.
