November 26, 2007

She started the patisserie in 2004 with plans to differentiate herself from the competition by making desserts from scratch using all-natural ingredients, designing items specifically for the customer and-just as important-going without a storefront. “I’ve always felt that if you open up a storefront and you have a specialty product, something somewhere gets compromised,” Welage said. “Ultimately, it’s the quality of the product or it’s…

SPORTS: The Irish fired-and hired-themselves into a stew

November 19, 2007

If you are among those who believe-and I am among them-that the University of Notre Dame treated Tyrone Willingham unjustly three years ago when it fired him as its football coach just three seasons into his tenure, then you probably share my sense that what goes around has come around in South Bend. If you also are among those who believe-and, again, I am among them-that one of the reasons Charlie Weis is a chunky fellow is because he’s so…

no time for a break. And what the former U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel will do is largely a mystery.

Wish Fund snagged in subprime crisis

November 9, 2007

Indianapolis-based Indiana Children’s Wish Fund has been caught in the national subprime mortgage lending crisis. The small not-for-profit, which grants wishes to terminally ill children, filed an arbitration claim after an investment it had in an intermediate-bond fund lost about $50,000 between late June and late September on an initial investment of $222,812.

SURF THIS: Our changing expectation of experts

November 5, 2007

It seems like everyone is an expert at something. We have automobile experts, stock market experts, antique experts… my company even has a client who’s a sheep and goat expert.

It’s no longer enough to declare yourself an…
