VIEWPOINT: Seeing Indianapolis with new eyes

May 21, 2007

I left Indianapolis for New York City. Flying home for holidays, I never thought I could live here again. A nice place to grow up, Indianapolis gave me those wholesome Midwestern manners, recalled whenever a New Yorker asked, “You’re not from here, are you? You’re just too nice.” Indianapolis also gave me a successful career start, circa 1982. My partners and I later sold an OfficePlus location to a group in Manhattan in 1997. They invited me to move and…

MICKEY MAURER Commentary: The classy dame is still classy

May 7, 2007

“Pat Miller is a classy dame.” Michael S. Maurer, Indianapolis Star, Dec. 13, 2005 The above response to an Indianapolis Star reporter on the occasion of Pat Miller’s resignation as secretary of commerce was meant with all sincerity to be complimentary but was morphed by Indianapolis Star columnist John Ketzenberger into a slur on the order of Don Imus or Howard Stern. The Star piled on with a letter to the editor from someone who does not even live in…

BULLS & BEARS: With bull market raging, investor advises caution

May 7, 2007

“It’s Everywhere, In Everything: The First Truly Global Bubble.” The title of this recent newsletter sounds a lot like one of those “doom and gloom” books out to make a quick buck playing on investor emotions. The only thing is, those kinds of books only show up in bear markets, because that’s when they sell-when investors are already depressed. Thus, their message is useless, for the damage has already been done to investors’ portfolios-and, ironically, their appearance on bookshelves usually…

INVESTING: Semiconductor strength bodes well for overall market

May 7, 2007

The rally off the March low was powerful, and a few things happened that might reveal a change in the nature of this bull market. If there is an evolution and we’ve identified it, a rotation is called for that will keep us in the sweet spot of this market run. If we’re wrong, we have to be quick to readjust. By the third week of April, the Dow Jones broke out to an all-time high, taking with it the…

RETURN ON TECHNOLOGY: Browse Firefox to open some windows on the world

April 30, 2007

Do you even know that there’s a browser in common use besides Microsoft’s Internet Explorer? If not, don’t feel bad. IE has some 80 percent of the browser market, if “market” can be defined as “where you give everything away to get mind share.” Frustrated with Microsoft and IE, the techies of the world have written their own browser through a mighty effort coordinated by Mozilla, a California-based not-forprofit (www.mozilla.com). It’s called “Firefox.” Currently, it has roughly 15 percent of…

EYE ON THE PIE: A useful program for Indiana’s future

April 16, 2007

I could see she was mad when I walked in the coffee shop. State representative Roberta Righteous was adding packet after packet of sugar substitute to her extra large macho mocha. As I sat down with my cup of regular, she blurted, “Your column last week was another cruel attack on the General Assembly. All criticism, all sarcasm, but no constructive suggestions for progress.” “You want constructive ideas,” I said, “I’ll give you some. “First, Indiana abandons partisan redistricting. When…

Investors betting corn prices will surge back

April 9, 2007

Krom River Partners, Mother Earth Investment AG and other investment firms are snapping up corn contracts as prices slip, according to Bloomberg. Corn prices fell after a March 30 report showed farmers plan a big increase in planting. However, large investors are turning bullish because the increase is not as large as traders expected. […]

NFL plan puts hit on Colts

April 9, 2007

A new National Football League policy could cost the Indianapolis Colts $56 million in league revenue sharing in the decade
following the opening of Lucas Oil Stadium. The policy
puts more pressure on the Colts to compete with revenue-generating giants such as the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys.

Taliera switches strategy for buying underperforming brands of booze

April 9, 2007

Taliera Corp. plan to raise $60 million through an initial public offering was withdrawn March 27, but Taliera isn’t going
away. It’s simply trying a different approach. CEO J. Smoke Wallin said he and his team of eight beverage industry veterans
still believe their business plan is right.

Study raps Lilly for corporate gobbledygook

April 3, 2007

Eli Lilly and Co. was among 40 companies cited in a study by Clarity! Communications of Canada Inc. for describing executive pay in prose that’s all but indecipherable to the common person. As a result, the companies in the study violated new securities rules that prevent companies from using jargon to report how top executives […]

EYE ON THE PIE: Indiana less entrepreneurial than nation

March 26, 2007

For many people, owning a business is a dream. As a nation, we idolize such people as “entrepreneurs.” We assemble data that show “small business” as the heart of the economy (even though the definition of “small” is fewer than 500 employees). Let’s look at this segment of the economy. Oops. The data we have are not as good as we want. We do not know how many proprietors or business operators are full-time and how many are part-time. It…

St. Francis CEO says Beech Grove move inevitable

March 19, 2007

Robert J. Brody, president and CEO of St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers, announced March 8 that St. Francis would shutter
its inpatient hospital in Beech Grove and expand its south-side hospital by 2010. In an interview with IBJ, Brody laid out
the ills that beset hospitals across the country.

STATEHOUSE DISPATCH: Daniels shows Peyton’s poise, focusing on second half

March 12, 2007

Bills that remain alive in the current session of the Indiana General Assembly now have moved from their chamber of origin across the Rotunda, and lawmakers are ready for the task of considering House bills in the Senate, and vice versa. The task begins on a relatively quiet note, and with a collective downcast mood of sorts. The dispirited atmosphere comes from the early March death of Sen. Anita O. Bowser, D-Michigan City, at age 86. She was the eldest…

Goodwill plotting a $10 million reuse strategy: Not-for-profit renovates HQ for expanded charter school

February 19, 2007

Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana supports its job and educational programs by reselling used clothes, household items and even cars. But the virtues of reuse and recycle aren’t confined to the not-for-profit’s 34 local thrift stores. Goodwill has adapted its headquarters several times since it was built in 1960, to fill a variety of needs. Some of the same space within the 195,000-square-foot building has served as a retail store, an office full of cubicles, an industrial packing facility and…

Not-for-profits grow as college students take hands-on approach

February 19, 2007

Indianapolis not-for-profits are growing as more universities embrace service learning–an educational approach that encourages
students to incorporate academics into community service.

Shelby County coalition to support Indianapolis bypass

February 8, 2007

Three Shelby County development organizations have formed a coalition to support the toll road Gov. Mitch Daniels wants to build around the east and south sides of Indianapolis, according to the Shelbyville News. Shelby County and Morristown chambers of commerce and Shelby County Development Corp. say their coalition is in the spirit of an earlier […]

INVESTING: How ethanol mania is making a mess of the corn market

January 29, 2007

For the last 30 years, politicians from farm-heavy states like Indiana have been pushing for a massive increase in the production of ethanol. As oil prices began to kick up earlier this decade, their long lobbying efforts started to make some sense. Eighteen months ago, I highlighted Archer Daniels Midland as a company to play this move, and the stock went from $21 to $44 in a little more than a year. In the last 12 months, there have been…

Lottery lease plan has fatal flaws EYE ON THE PIE:

January 29, 2007

Folks I talked to, Democrats and Republicans, liked the governor’s State of the State speech. The fault they found was that the speech was scheduled opposite the Indiana University basketball game with Iowa. Isn’t that an impeachable offense in Indiana? The part of the speech that intrigued me most was the idea about leasing the rights to the lottery to get money to establish scholarships and endowed chairs at our universities. The idea is to slow or reverse the brain…

VIEWPOINT: Let’s improve the health of working poor

January 15, 2007

On a cold and rainy day and wearing only a thin jacket, Maria walked eight miles to get help. She was pregnant and seeking prenatal care. Her husband had deserted her. The pervasiveness of unemployed and working-poor families presents a growing challenge. Most are underinsured or have no health insurance at all. That means our charity-care system is stretched to the maximum. One north-side center that provides care for the uninsured and underinsured has seen a 15-percent increase in patients…

CHRIS KATTERJOHN Commentary: Community resolutions for 2007

January 8, 2007

It’s a week past the appropriate time to be writing about New Year’s resolutions, but from the feel of traffic heading in and out of town during rush hour, it appears a number of folks are still on vacation. I think the vast majority of us are ready now to get back down to business, so I feel justified in my timing. Therefore, be it resolved: Mayor Bart Peterson and Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi should continue to address the…
