No matter how many bold and italicized words scholars cram into textbooks, nothing compares to students rolling up their sleeves
and testing a theory themselves. For years, Indiana University's Kelley School of Business has offered its Bloomington MBA
candidates real-world experience through so-called "academies" focused on specific industries. Now Kelley Indianapolis' evening
MBA program is set to launch a scaled-back version for its students. This fall, it will offer three such "enterprise" programs,
including one with an entrepreneurial emphasis. The...

Zionsville artist Nancy Noel's original work can be seen in the homes of Mikhail Gorbachev, Robert Redford, Denzel Washington
and Oprah Winfrey. Noel prides herself on its originality and authenticity. And she said she'll "go after anyone" who threatens
that. This spring, Noel filed a federal lawsuit against Texas-based art distributor Martha Ewell, alleging she made unauthorized
copies of Noel's images-including her popular Amish and angel collections-and sold them on the Internet. She is asking to
be paid $30,000 for...

Business is often compared to a game. There are winners and losers, MVPs and benchwarmers, touchdowns and penalties. Only
the strong survive. The leaders at Indianapolis-based CIK Enterprises LLC take the competition seriously. But they don't see
why it can't be fun, too. CIK's 30,000-square-foot Georgetown Road office, known as "the stadium," features green, blue and
orange walls, some of which are rounded. Huge puzzle pieces listing company goals decorate the spacious atrium. A life-size
Monopoly board displays monumental moments...

Kenneth Gladish first laced up his sneakers as a YMCA kid in Northbrook, Ill. Decades later, he tightened his tie as president
of the national organization. In between, Gladish was a central figure in the Indianapolis charitable sector. Now his time
at the YMCA of the USA has come to an end, and Gladish's next step is up in the air. But one thing's for sure-he'll be maintaining
his ties to Indianapolis. Gladish, 53, has accepted a three-year appointment as...

First, the Athenaeum is going to have to get past the hurdle with the Lockerbie residents and the agreement that the parcel would be residential. Second, and in my opinion, this prime piece of property should include parking, PLUS, a black box theater(s), some market rate and affordable artist housing and a plan to renovate and reconfigure the second story theater. I would negotiate to add the DeHaan property surface parking lot into the development mix, place a one story surface parking garage on the DeHaan lot on the street level (for the Dehaan tenants use during the daytime) and add a second story to the garage that would become an addition to the current second story theater and then change the direction of the theater by moving the stage across the alley and on top of the DeHaan lot parking. You can add all the stage elements that are currently missing from the Athenaeum stage to make it more attractive for use by Ballet, Opera and traveling productions. Plus, the theater changes would probably help solve some of the soundproofing issues. Alas,it does not seem to be a part of the strategic plan to conduct a study to determine best use of the property. Seems like the current plan is a quick and easy move that ignores the property best use/potential and any strategic property planning for the effect on future generations.
I recall that MSA's pilings are still in the ground and hard to remove. It’s not likely any proposal will include significant underground construction/parking because of this. Start adding 2 floors of retail, 8 floors of parking and 5-10 floors of possible hotel, and/or 10-20 floors of residential, and you are at 30 floors already with possible expansion of all the uses. But then again I could be wrong.
Accoriding to their website there is no deadline to the Do Not Call list. What is this article referring to??
On what planet are they entitled to this largesse from the stockholders? These people make multi-million dollar salaries: Pay for your own personal travel.
It matters because they're already paid enormously fat salaries: Pay for your own personal travel. Being "taxed on it" isn't a valid excuse--so what? They're still being gifted a raft of luxury perks from somebody else's money on top of an enormous, lavish salary.
