HETRICK: Job-seeking advice for graduates and grownups, too
April 24, 2010
Bruce HetrickMy advice has undergone a course correction to adapt to these challenging times.
MoreHICKS: Unemployment situation brings up questions
April 24, 2010
Mike HicksPerhaps the biggest problem is in estimating who is in and not in the formal work force. Even in good times, a surprising
number of workers labor in the shadow economy, invisible to government statisticians.
MoreLet Citizens take over sports venues
April 24, 2010
There may be a solution to the Capital Improvement Board’s financial problems, described in [the April 19] IBJ,
that are further complicated by the Pacers wanting to renegotiate their Conseco agreement.
MoreCitizens' takeover of water will be a relief
April 24, 2010
Tom Henderson gets it wrong in his [April 12] view that “Part of the overall utility problem is that lack of government
oversight and public policy vision has made Indianapolis one of the highest-polluting and just plain ugliest cities in the
Midwest.”
MoreColleges should target learning, not time
April 24, 2010
The Morton Marcus [March 29] column on graduation rates hit home. I too do not like credentialism as an excuse to avoid evaluating
performance.
MoreEducational quantity sacrifices quality
April 24, 2010
Morton Marcus is right to question postsecondary completion rates as the litmus test for evidence of learning (in the March
29 issue).
MoreTo grow economy, support small biz
April 24, 2010
Indianapolis, home to a higher convergence of chain restaurants per capita than most any U.S. city (44-percent higher than
the national average), retained its crown last week.
MoreEDITORIAL: Shed more light on Pacers' plight
April 17, 2010
IBJ StaffIt would be a sad day in our civic history if the Indiana Pacers packed up and left for a place with
more financial firepower. But there’s a limit to how far the city should go to keep the team from leaving home.
MoreMAURER: Local diva enlightens opera
April 17, 2010
Mickey MaurerAngela Brown has a voice that reaches extraordinary heights from roots that are set deep in Hoosier soil. She is a diva with
a heart as big and as soft as her magnificent voice.
MoreMARCUS: How much is too much when it comes to compensation?
April 17, 2010
Morton MarcusThis month, as you watched the gallant Butler University basketball team uphold the honor of the Hoosier state, did you wonder
about the compensation of college coaches and their future NBA stars?
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Chicago joins the 'Billy' club
April 17, 2010
Lou HarryThis week, the Broadway sensation “Billy Elliot” dances into Chicago for an extended run. And, closer to home,
the Phoenix indulges in some conspiracy theorizing.
MoreDINING: Ice House offers cold comfort
April 17, 2010
Lou HarryOne of the advantages of our month-long restaurant themes is that it gives us
an excuse to visit old favorites, and this landmark certainly qualifies.
MoreSenator should be strong, not 'moderate'
April 17, 2010
So Mickey Maurer is not enthralled with the Republican field for the U.S. Senate. His answer [in his April 5 column] is some
home-grown “big-leaguer” who is a “moderate.” In other words, another Sen. Lugar. Ho-hum indeed!
MoreBENNER: One last look at the Bulldogs ... in another universe
April 17, 2010
Bill BennerIn the two weeks since the NCAA title game, I can barely go a waking hour without someone asking me The Question: What if
Gordon Hayward’s shot had gone in?
MoreSTYLE: Should we knock the knock-offs?
April 17, 2010
Gabrielle PoshadloIn light of the copyright infringement lawsuits Coach has brought against two Indianapolis retailers, I find myself wondering
if my purchase would be an ethical one, especially as someone who appreciates apparel (and accessories) as an art form.
MoreGIGERICH: Happiness is factor in location choices
April 17, 2010
Larry GigerichState-by-state comparisons ranking residents' satisfaction levels are gaining traction in economic development circles. While
rankings do not drive site-selection decisions, they do play a role.
MoreSKARBECK: Finding one last lesson in Grace's amazing tale
April 17, 2010
Ken SkarbeckGrace held her investment through many ups and downs in the stock market. But most important to her was that Abbott as a
business continued to thrive, despite the swings in its stock price.
MoreHICKS: Good local governance will support schools
April 17, 2010
Mike HicksReorganizing school districts is difficult, but we Hoosiers have done so before.
MoreEDITORIAL: Time for Brizzi to heed calls to step down
April 10, 2010
IBJ StaffCarl Brizzi’s once-promising political career is coming to an end. He won’t become a mayor or a congressman or
win election to any of the posts that seemed within his grasp when he was an up-and-coming Republican.
MoreHARTON: Escape your 'information cocoon'
April 10, 2010
Tom HartonThe information age is almost always spoken of in glowing terms. Information is empowering,
so we’re told, even if it comes from a cave in the Middle East or a basement down the block or a corporate media machine
that needs something—anything—to fill the gaps between the advertising on a 24-hour news channel.
MoreALTOM: Going green here may not be going green there
April 10, 2010
Tim AltomThe idea behind the green office is to have a slightly smaller damaging
effect on the environment in general. That sounds great, but I never forget that you can’t make ripples in only one
part of a pond.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Tara Donovan at the IMA and thoughts on 'spoilers'
April 10, 2010
Lou HarryIn this artist's world, millions of cups blend into massive waves, pencils become an alien landscape, and stacks of tar paper
evoke the apocalypse.
MoreDINING: Barbecue joint offers smoked Southern comfort (food)
April 10, 2010
Andrea Muirragui DavisSecond in our month-long series of "House" restaurant reviews.
MoreBENNER: Winners and more winners from the 2010 Final Four
April 10, 2010
Bill BennerPraise for Brad Stevens, the Butler seniors, and more.
MoreMARCUS: Not all business owners are entrepreneurs
April 10, 2010
Morton MarcusA serial entrepreneur often thrives on getting a business going, making it a success, then selling it off by
taking the firm public, or selling it to private investors or to another firm. The business owner, by contrast, often remains
in the same
place, doing the same thing year after year.

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.
