I am usually amused and even sometimes intellectually stimulated by Bruce Hetrick’s opinion pieces. However, his piece (Jan. 24) drawing parallels between the tragic shootings in Tucson and tobacco related deaths is over the top.
What a great way to slime our public school education infrastructure: educational vouchers.
Indiana’s recovery is only 75-percent complete, lagging the nation.
We understand the concern expressed by some on the City-County Council over Indianapolis’ role in financing the $155 million project, but there are compelling reasons to approve it.
Now that football season is over, I suggest we turn our attention to a real hero: Gregg Keesling, CEO of Workforce Inc., an organization that populates practically its entire work force with ex-offenders.
Unfortunately, there are numerous examples of mishap when the investment decision-making process is farmed out.
In 2002, the 86th Street staple relocated to Carmel. Now, that move could pay off as Shapiro’s becomes the unofficial cafeteria for the new Center for the Performing Arts.
The out-of-the-box, standard interface wasn’t primarily for boosting productivity, but for giving demonstrations. It was marketing, and not usability, that was driving interface design.

I have been right about this general bull market since July 2009 and I was right when I told people to stay invested last spring. Today, however, I am at a bit of a crossroads.
What may be appropriate regulatory reform to one person or industry may be anathema to another.
What worried me most about the president’s speech was not what he said, but what he didn’t.
Thank you for [Greg Morris’ Jan. 17 column]. Like a lot of adults, I’ve had “volunteer” on my to-do list for quite some time, and that time just never seems to come.
Congrats to IBJ for publishing the article, “Indianapolis must reinvent itself—again” by Aaron Renn [in the Jan. 10 Forefront].
As we have seen our already poor-quality educational system and libraries cut every year, while raising expectations—it is darkly ironic that the same politicians are making these contradictory decisions.
If Union Station was linked to an urban transportation system extending from downtown to the Hendricks County border, workers in the gargantuan warehouses west of Indianapolis would have access to a reliable transit system.
Indiana’s new policy is, “If it is broken, throw it out.” We applied that policy to township assessors and now we are applying it to township government. Soon we may do the same to urban school districts.
Trash talk seems so silly. Pointless. Childish.
The biggest killer of all—cigarette smoke—knocks off 450,000 Americans a year—400,000 of those smokers themselves, 50,000 innocent bystanders.
