KHARBANDA: Indiana can lead in shaping energy policy
August 28, 2010
Jesse KharbandaThe
United States has shown little leadership in finding solutions to global climate change.
MoreALTOM: Do I need a cell phone that's hardy or handy?
August 28, 2010
Tim AltomIt’s time to change my cell phone, and that’s causing me a big problem. I have conflicting needs, and like everybody
else in the business world, I can’t seem to reconcile them.
MoreHICKS: Most majors pay off, but some a lot more than others
August 28, 2010
Mike HicksThere is clearly something important about the totality
of what is learned in college, but, if you want to apply all those upper-level classes in your major, you'd better study
hard or pick the right field.
MoreBENNER: Hoosier Hysteria now wears pads and cleats
August 28, 2010
Bill BennerAlthough I am a full-blooded Hoosier with basketball as part of my DNA, football—and football season—has become
the part of the sports calendar I look forward to most.
MoreNo to meter hikes
August 28, 2010
[In response to the Aug. 16 editorial] Now has come the time that I will no longer be able to support downtown. I will miss
it dearly!
MoreMuseums can't change canal alone
August 28, 2010
As a longtime downtown resident and property owner, and frequent user of the Central Canal, I read with great interest the
[Aug. 16] article “Missing the action: Museums struggle to capture foot traffic from busy canal."
MoreEDITORIAL: GM dispute deserves vote
August 21, 2010
It’s puzzling to us that leaders of the United
Auto Workers Local 23 are against members even casting a vote on the proposed takeover of GM's Indianapolis metal-stamping
plant by Illinois-based J.D.
Norman Industries.
MoreMAURER: If it feels right, take the leap
August 21, 2010
Mickey MaurerTo create a disciplined investment philosophy, I evolved “The Ten Essential Principles of Entrepreneurship You Didn’t
Learn in School”—at least I didn’t learn them in school. Over the course of 10 columns, I will feature each
of these essential principles. This is the fourth installment.
MoreMARCUS: Metrics no substitute for management
August 21, 2010
Morton MarcusMost companies select from a work force that has a mixed quality of education. Instead of using this diversity as an asset,
management today tries to impose ‘behavioral metrics’ on its workers independent of their individual strengths.
MoreLOUGHREY: Hoosier leaders can fight global poverty
August 21, 2010
Joe LoughreyOur world is quite different from the one President Truman
and George Marshall faced in 1947. But the strategy for recovery and broad-based development should be built on a similar
foundation of public- and private-sector collaboration.
MoreSKARBECK: Investors may miss mark by switching to bonds
August 21, 2010
Ken SkarbeckIt seems more likely that bond investors today are making the same mistake stock investors made back at the peak of the stock-market
bubble.
MoreHICKS: Good reads on America's automobile industry
August 21, 2010
Mike HicksIf you'd like to satiate your interest in the domestic automobile market, may I recommend three fine books?
MoreBENNER: Bird's trust goes unrewarded in new debacle
August 21, 2010
Bill BennerFace it, Larry; you messed up. You trusted a 19-year-old with a questionable past.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Dancing to the classics
August 21, 2010
Lou HarryThis week, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre uses American lit as a launch pad; plus: books by local authors.
MoreHETRICK: How to make our recession last forever
August 21, 2010
Bruce HetrickToday’s and tomorrow’s jobs are increasingly dependent upon more and better education
MoreDINING: Chancy upgrade at IUPUI eatery
August 21, 2010
Andrea Muirragui DavisChancellor's has high aspirations, with a seasonal, locally sourced menu clearly designed to appeal more to diners on
an expense account than college students on a budget.
MoreMentor knew how to keep his head
August 21, 2010
In reference to Mickey Maurer’s column in the Aug. 9 edition, Mickey and I, along with probably many others, had the
same mentor, Gene Glick.
MoreGM deal promising for local automaker
August 21, 2010
Now that Bright Automotive has announced a strategic partnership [with] General Motors, we think IBJ should reconsider
the title it gave a recent article about the company (Aug 2, “Losing power?”). We’d suggest “Powering
up!”
MoreCoaches, mentors often confused
August 21, 2010
[Mickey Maurer] really did a great job in [his Aug. 9 column,] “Even CEOs need mentors.” I agree that having
a mentor, or having someone to coach you, is valuable.
MoreAttendance figures were inconsistent
August 21, 2010
I was disappointed in the lack of fair and accurate reporting in Kathleen McLaughlin’s article, “Missing the
action: Museums struggle to capture foot traffic from busy Central Canal,” which was published in the Aug. 16 edition.
MoreEDITORIAL: Raising parking fees is wise step
August 14, 2010
It isn’t difficult to grasp the reasoning behind Mayor Greg Ballard’s proposal to privatize the city’s
parking operations.
MoreMORRIS: Give and volunteer to Live United
August 14, 2010
Greg MorrisMany people in our community, state, country and around the globe need our help. The numbers are staggering.
MoreMARCUS: Unemployment is a waste of our resources
August 14, 2010
Morton MarcusPeople have to be hired to do valuable things with the money the government pumps into the economy. That money can’t
be given to people or to businesses with the hope that they will use it. It has to be spent on activities that increase employment.
MoreMERISOTIS: Boosting education boosts your company
August 14, 2010
Jamie MerisotisBy 2018, 63 percent of all jobs in this country will require some form of postsecondary education
or training. That’s a huge increase since the mid-’70s.
MoreDINING: A fair amount of pork
August 14, 2010
Lou Harry
This year, the Indiana State Fair is celebrating the Year of the Pig.
And that means pork is the main attraction in five dishes that were selected as finalists in the fair’s Signature Food
contest.

Many serial killer types and psychopaths work as lowly bureaucrats, just waiting to impose their wrath on a powerless person, child, or pet. Don't forget, the BTK killer was a dog catcher.
If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.
John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.
I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.
Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.
