Tech jobs rise, but graduates are on decline: Universities working hard to attract students into IT, computer sciences

July 14, 2008

At a time when central Indiana is adding high-tech jobs faster than any other area in the Midwest, the overall health of the industry could be threatened by a lack of interest from college students. The Washington, D.C.-based Computing Research Association’s annual survey of universities with doctorate-granting programs found an 18-percent drop this year in students completing bachelor’s degrees in professional information technology fields. The latest statistics are particularly alarming given they continue a trend seen for several years. Enrollment…

VIEWPOINT: Indianapolis needs to talk trash

July 21, 2008

Indiana has generous natural resources. I pumped some of those resources out of my sub-basement twice last month, and pulled some of its finer greenery from my roof and yard as well. The abundance is everywhere, from the farmlands and prairie in the north, to the farmlands, mines and even oilfields in the south. Drop a seed in most parts of Indiana and, if the neighborhood’s not flooded out, that seed will grow nicely. Ask me about my tomatoes. Don’t…

A&E: On stage, the kids are alright

August 4, 2008

Last year, American Cabaret Theatre’s young adult production of “High School Musical” was, well, a very good high school musical. If you happened to be talked into going because your niece was in the cast, you would have had a surprisingly good time. This year ACT’s young adult “The Wiz” (running through Aug. 17) is similar. If this were a high school show, you’d be amazed at the vocal talent. If you approached it as children’s theater, you’d be impressed…

Arts budget: Scales comments

August 7, 2008

Earlier today, City County Councillor Christine Scales e-mailed me regarding the city arts budget and the rumored threats against it. I’m reprinting the letter here (and posting it with the earlier blog) with her permission. Your thoughts are, of…

VIEWPOINT: Recruiting: If you lie down with dogs …

August 18, 2008

The recent episode involving former IU basketball coach Kelvin Sampson underscores how badly broken is our system of recruiting and qualifying top leaders. Reference checks by highly paid professional recruiters failed to turn up the true nature of this leader. Yes, we all were aware of his lack of character at the University of Oklahoma, but were there signs of this lack of character in his past at Montana Tech or Washington State University? One would hope the recruiters went…

A&E: Schmart changes highlight “The Producers”

August 18, 2008

When you’ve seen many productions at a theater (and I’ve seen many at Beef & Boards) and you’ve also seen multiple versions of a particular show (I’ve witnessed two previous takes on “The Producers” in addition to both film versions) then, when the familiar theater and the familiar show come together, you can’t help but have some expectations. That’s not to say there’s prejudgment-just some assumptions. For instance, going into Beef & Boards’ “The Producers,” I figured it would take…

Business heats up for new Godby: Firm re-emerges after selling to a national competitor in the late 1990s

August 25, 2008

When big publicly held companies snapped up local heating, cooling and plumbing companies in the late 1990s, Tom Godby thought he needed to get on board. “I didn’t want to miss that tidal wave of change,” he said. Godby was the sole owner of Godby Brothers Heating and Air Conditioning LLC, which had been in the Indianapolis market for three decades when Godby sold it to American Residential Services in 1997. But instead of being the industry’s new face, the…

SPORTS: Let the ‘greatest athlete ever’ debate begin

August 25, 2008

Back from vacation with thoughts of this, that and the other: Even as my bride and I traveled through the magnificent scenery of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, our nightly ritual was the same as that of millions of other Americans: making sure we were in front of the television to watch the Olympics. And yes, especially, Michael Phelps. Some have rushed to proclaim him the greatest Olympian of all time and, certainly, the argument can be made if you look…

International theater launching here

Rooney, the former CEO of Golden Rule Insurance Co., was found dead this morning, according to his long-time personal attorney John Sullivan. Rooney apparently died in his sleep, Sullivan said.

Paul Newman’s legacy helping kids

October 15, 2008

In the coming years, Graham Rahal can expect more than a few thank you cards from critically ill youngsters. The 19-year-old Indy Racing League driver raised $40,900 for Flying Horse Farms with the…

Pre-season is fan base indicator

October 16, 2008

For those who say the pre-season means nothing, I disagree. It’s a good indicator of a team’s fan base. While I didn’t expect the Indiana Pacers to draw hordes of fans for its…

FUNNY BUSINESS: The art of letter writing: before the text generation

October 20, 2008

My sister’s kids, Deniece and Denephew, think it is just hilarious to watch their fumbling uncle trying to send a text message-which has recently become the No. 1 use of cell phones, instead of talking. I poke and prod one measly letter at a time. Meanwhile, the kids-with agile thumbs and secondnature knowledge of a cell phone touch pad-are incredible. To watch them is to see an intricate ballet of the opposable digits (pas de pouces) performed at lightning speed….

Pacers cut costs, boost marketing to break even within three years

October 27, 2008

The Indiana Pacers are ratcheting up sales and marketing initiatives while cutting costs elsewhere in an effort to simultaneously
ride out the economic storm and boost attendance. The team has little hope of being profitable this year-or even breaking
even, said Pacers President Jim Morris, but he added that within three years the franchise’s financial status should be much
improved.

INVESTING: Don’t get complacent; stocks may fall again

October 27, 2008

Hurricane season in the tropics is coming to a close. Some damaging storms came through, but nothing Katrina-like, and for that everyone is grateful. No, the real devastation this year wasn’t in the tropics. It came on Wall Street in the form of the stock market crash. And there is no denying that a crash is exactly what happened. The scientists at the National Weather Service have a system of rating the strength of a hurricane. Sustained winds of 74-95…
