Agricultural biotech firm hired a site-selection consultant and considered other cities around the world for its $340 million
expansion.MARCUS: Hoosiers hear gospel of gambling
Gamblers wagered nearly $30 billion in 13 Indiana

governments for our benefit.LOU’S VIEWS: Bill T. Jones’ company dances through history at IU
A few weeks back, I wrote about the two collections of Abraham Lincoln memorabilia on display at the Indiana
State Museum. Over the past week, two additional encounters with Abe reminded me that there is no shortage of material to be mined from
the life of the 16th president.Job searches dragging on a year later
Out of six professionals IBJ profiled a year ago, three have found jobs, although all have accepted lower pay than
they were getting before. One could not be reached, but she still lists herself as looking for work on LinkedIn.com. Two tried
to start their own businesses, with one giving up and one, Bruce Flanagan, still trying.ALTOM: Who knew YouTube had potential as a free university?
As much as I love and happily use technology, I come from a different age and time when, as they say, life was simpler. I
have students who are aghast that I’d rather use a folded paper map to get around town than a GPS and Google Maps in
a smart phone.BENNER: Let Big Ten grow, but keep NCAA tournament as is
The concept of more being better could be coming to a couple of institutions we know well.
LOU’S VIEWS: Dog days at Clowes with national tour of ‘Dalmatians’ musical
This week, canines at Clowes, sisters in the suburbs, pals searching for Paul, and the Cabaret’s new digs at the Columbia
Club.PARENT: Take your brain out for a walk
Urban life has
serious costs; it actually impairs our ability to think.MARCUS: It’s not too late for a high-speed stimulus
“Too little, too late” is the standard objection to the economic stimulus program now in effect. That criticism
is based on opinion, not fact. It will take several years to know whether the stimulus (or stimuli, because there was more
than a single stimulus) worked.Indiana Experience
Opening March 20 Indiana History Center The Indiana History Center’s exhibition areas reopen this week in a big way
with the launch of “Indiana Experience.” Interactive areas, peopled with re-enactors, bring photographs from the
center’s archives to life. New viewing portals allow for detailed searching of the collection.And there’s more. This weekend, it’s all opening to the public, which means you don’t have to wait to chaperone
your child’s field trip in order to join in on the educational fun. (Of course, you don’t have to do that, anyway—the
History Center is open to the public, although there will now be an admission charge.) Details here. And watch for a video tour of Indiana Experience coming soon at www.ibj.com.MARCUS: Lower business taxes don’t stimulate hiring
A job is the
foundation of self-esteem, the linchpin for connecting to the community, the instrument by and through which the individual
connects with the greater international marketplace and derives the income that provides security for the family.MARCUS: Set sights on education, not graduation
The dimmer wits in the Indiana General Assembly want to compensate colleges and universities according to their graduation
rates. This is another example of shallow reasoning by our elected representatives reflecting erroneous thought that has permeated
our society.MARCUS: Small gains do not deserve a celebration
Both the Indiana and U.S. income growth rates
are extremely small and each rounds off to a measly 0.6 percent. To be somewhat healthier than your sickly neighbors does
not mean that you are well.SPECIAL REPORT: Brizzi ordered lenient deal for business partner’s client
Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi last year intervened in a major drug case to offer a reduced sentence over objections
from both law enforcement officers and his own deputy prosecutors.Indianapolis set for next wave of angel investors
A wave of up-and-coming angel investors in the Indianapolis area are quietly accumulating the expertise and thick wallets
necessary to back startups that are at once risky and rich with potential for lucrative returns.ALTOM: Going green here may not be going green there
The 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.MARCUS: Not all business owners are entrepreneurs
A 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.Lilly sets date for move from Faris campus downtown
Work force reductions, new business structure make leased office space unnecessary. Moves will begin in late June.
