Long-distance diagnoses are company’s specialty: NearMed to provide radiology services to hospitals

August 21, 2006

An Indianapolis health care startup plans to begin diagnosing patients this fall without actually seeing any of them face to face. NearMed will venture into the fastgrowing market for “teleradiology” by offering a network of doctors around the clock and radiology subspecialists who work days and evenings to read X-rays and other images transmitted over a secure computer network. The Intech Park-based company will call on radiologists in Indiana, Texas and Idaho. In addition, it will provide clients with picture…

CHRIS KATTERJOHN Commentary: Carmel’s newest development craze?

August 21, 2006

What do you do if you own 40 acres smack dab in the middle of one of the hottest sections of Carmel; you are literally surrounded by cookiecutter subdivisions; and developers are swarming you with offers to buy your land at $100,000 an acre? If you’re Don and Judy Carter-Evans, you say “no thank you” and work with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to have threequarters of the acreage designated a Classified Wildlife Habitat. The Carter-Evans property is on…

Developers eye extension for opportunities: Four-mile link of 146th Street from S.R. 37 to I-69 in Noblesville will turn road into important thoroughfare

August 14, 2006

A commercial corridor brimming with office buildings, similar to the one along U.S. 31 in Carmel, is what Noblesville city planners envision for the 146th Street extension from State Road 37 to Interstate 69. Ground is expected to be broken this fall on the four-mile extension, which will make the street a major east-west thoroughfare through the south side of Noblesville if finished as planned in October 2007. The street is already a busy route across much of Hamilton County,…

BEHIND THE NEWS:

August 14, 2006

In the 1980s, Jim Massey was one of Indianapolis’ top bankers. Now, he finds himself in bankruptcy court, the latest former Conseco Inc. director to fall victim to the company’s hardball loan-collection tactics. The Carmel-based insurer last month filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition for Massey, 71, the former president of Merchants National Bank. “It is just another forum to try to bring an expeditious conclusion to the problem,” said Reed Oslan, a partner with the Chicago law firm Kirkland &…

BEHIND THE NEWS: Coastal cash flowed into tiny firm, yielding big payoff

August 7, 2006

Century Realty Trust is but a grain of sand in the universe of real estate companies. But within the last few years, the Indianapolis firm has caught the attention of investors on the coasts, and they’re the richer for it. Now that Century Realty is selling nearly all its properties to Indianapolis-based apartment owner Buckingham Properties and liquidating, its investors likely will collect from $20.50 a share to $21 a share, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and…

BEHIND THE NEWS: Heiress to be out of sight when judge decides fate

July 31, 2006

Attorneys will gather in a Marion County courtroom Aug. 7 to ask a judge to appoint personal guardians for Ruth Lilly. They’ll argue that she’s incapacitated and incapable of making decisions for herself. It’s one of the most pivotal moments in the life of the heir to the pharmaceutical fortune, who turns 91 Aug. 2. But court records indicate she won’t be present. That’s perhaps fitting. The sole surviving greatgrandchild of the pharmaceutical firm’s founder has led a reclusive life,…

CHRIS KATTERJOHN Commentary: Newsman reflects on iconic past

July 24, 2006

One of the great things about being a newspaperman is that you get the inside scoop on everything. Even more so than reporters, editors have a unique perspective because they are in on the details of all the big news that’s breaking. They are also privy to lots of information and background that doesn’t end up in print for one reason or another. So it is with a sense of collegial empathy that I highly recommend an upcoming book by…

Hotel art adds more than ambiance: Local gallery offers work from Picasso to Perrin for sale at Conrad Indianapolis

July 24, 2006

An international crowd in for the Formula One race milled through a sold-out Conrad Indianapolis downtown on a recent weekend. As they jutted off to their spa appointments and dinner reservations, some may have spared a glance at artwork that sprinkles the walls of the first and mezzanine floor-an interesting mix of modern art from the likes of Pablo Picasso to Indianapolis artist Lois Main Templeton. The collection of 18 pieces was selected under an agreement between the hotel and…

Conseco takes fresh look at product development: New strategy emphasizes shared resources, efficiency

July 17, 2006

Conseco Inc. rolled out a fresh blueprint for product development earlier this year, and it was high time the insurer did so, say analysts who follow the company. The Carmel-based holding company is combining the resources of its subsidiaries and developing a corporate-wide system to pump out products more efficiently for its two main operating segments, Conseco Insurance Group and Chicago-based Bankers Life. It hopes to see results soon. Conseco Insurance Group launched only four new products in 2004 and…

July 17, 2006

St. Elmo Steak House was the top-selling restaurant in 2005, ringing up $11.3 million in sales, but the Cheesecake Factory, Oceanaire, Maggiano's Little Italy, Sullivan's Steakhouse and P.F. Chang's, among others, all topped $5 million.

Rapid-transit plans gain speed, but drivers might not give up keys

July 10, 2006

Just 5,900 Marion and Hamilton County commuters would park their cars in favor of rapid transit if that were an option, according to data from a late-2001 report for Indianapolis’ Metropolitan Planning Organization by New York firm Parsons Brinckerhoff.

Westview soldiers on amid health care explosion: Hospital fares well against larger, newer competition

July 10, 2006

A touch-screen directory, a grove of potted trees and a muffin-bearing kiosk greet visitors entering the six-story atrium at the new Clarian North Medical Center in Carmel. A much milder scene awaits people walking into Westview Hospital a few miles away, on the west side of Indianapolis. There, a lonely player piano spills soft tunes into a one-story lobby filled with clusters of chairs and pamphlets on volunteering. “Quiet! Healing in Progress” reads a nearby sign. Indiana’s lone osteopathic hospital…

Developer goes west with retail: Lauth’s Brownsburg Station to cover nearly 70 acres

The Brownsburg property, which will be roughly 500,000 square feet and sit on almost 70 acres, will take advantage of the west side’s rapidly growing suburbs. The project received preliminary approval from the town of Brownsburg in late June and needs only to clear a few minor hurdles before building can begin. Tenants could move…

July 3, 2006

Marion Superior Court Judge S.K. Reid on June 20 granted National Wine’s motion to seal the complaint. Court filings suggest the liquor distributor filed the motion at the behest of E&Y-which argued that because the dispute arose out of arbitration, and that process is…
