This small town between Indianapolis and Cincinnati was hardly ailing when it landed the economic development prize of the decade-a new Honda plant. Back in June 2006, Decatur County’s unemployment rate was a healthy 4.2 percent, lower than the state’s as a whole. With Honda’s promise of 2,000 jobs by 2010, a boom seemed just […]
Ch-ch-ch-changes, sang David Bowie. Questions that arise while pondering future ch-ch-chchanges in sports: If we are seeing the beginning of the end of the internal combustion engine, how does that affect the Indianapolis 500 in particular and motorsports in general? Will we see a day in which either hybrid, totally battery-powered, hydrogen-powered, or natural gas-powered […]
Despite a ticket price increase, the terrible economy, and an uncertain season ahead, the Indianapolis Colts have sold out of season tickets, assuring the team will extend its sell-out streak to 97 regular-season home games.

The city unveiled a dramatic plan to revitalize the old Market Square Arena area just two days before the Metropolitan Development Commission approved the deal June 3. That the public was given insufficient notice of the project is among a number of legitimate complaints about the proposed $65 million effort to redevelop the former Bank […]

The owner of a three-person accounting firm, Nysewander says there’s significant appeal in having a public plan as a new option for health insurance. “As long as it remains an option,” […]
When you play Skee-ball and aim for the
100-point hole, you miss most of the time. However, if you aim for the 30, you have a much better chance
of scoring. You might not get a high score, but you’ll win enough

Let’s fill in the details. NCR Corp. (formerly National Cash Register) was founded in Dayton, Ohio, in 1884. It became one of the great innovative […]
For investors, 2008 was the worst year since the Great Depression. Even so, more than half of the state’s public-company executives
