He was a downtown historian and authority on the local scene. Snake suffered from a variety of ailments, but it was arthritis that finally sent him into retirement. While watching him fold that…

IU makes plans to hatch more businesses: Incubator in Bloomington hopes to duplicate success of local Emerging Technologies Center

October 6, 2008

Ground should be broken late this month or in early November, with completion expected by summer.

SPORTS: Pacers look to their roots to reconnect with fans

October 6, 2008

On Oct. 8, the Indiana Pacers are going to treat us older folks to a nostalgic trip. They’re going to take on the New Orleans Hornets in a preseason game at the Pepsi Coliseum.

But when the Pacers entered the American Basketball Association and began dribbling those red, white…

October 13, 2008

Several industry surveys predict health insurance expenses will rise at a slower pace in 2009 than in previous years. Many employers, however, are passing the added burden on to workers. Raising deductibles, copayments or out-of-pocket spending limits are the most common ways companies plan to reduce their increases. The trend of passing more of the responsibility to employees has escalated the past five years, giving rise to cheaper alternatives such as consumer-directed health plans. “The tie that binds is that…

October 13, 2008

If someone slips and falls in a parking lot, was it the fault of the property owner because he didn’t plow, or was the snow not deep enough in that area to prove a duty to plow? If a child darts in front of a car at dusk, were the conditions at that moment in the day enough for the driver to be able to see the child?
