A&E: Strange ‘Sisters,’ Liberace and more

June 11, 2007

This week: an author’s art show, Vegas night with the ISO, and new life for a beloved theater. Audrey Niffenegger is a well-established printmaker, artist and best-selling author (you might have read her outstanding-so far, at least, I’m only halfway through-bestselling debut novel, “The Time Traveler’s Wife”). So I’m guessing that the last thing she would want her work compared to would be Beavis and Butthead. Sorry. If Beavis and Butthead had a trio of goth cousins, they might look…

Pacers put no limits on Morris

June 11, 2007

The fact that Pacers Sports and Entertainment has tapped Jim Morris as special adviser shows how daunting the franchise’s
challenges have become, marketing experts say. They say the team’s problems on and off the court have shrunk its fan base
and weakened support among business and government leaders.

SPORTS: Our Pacers could use all the help they can get

June 11, 2007

Morris has no point guard skills I’m aware of and, ultimately, it will be up to the new head coach, O’Brien, to improve the on-court product in a way that’s more palatable to the Pacers’ eroding fan base. But as a point person in engaging the community-in particular the corporate community-there are few, if any, people in this city who have both the contacts and the respect of which Morris can boast. Even after five years away from Indianapolis trying…

Sunright to triple production in Columbus

June 6, 2007

A joint venture between Indianapolis-based Rightway Fasteners Inc. and Sugiura Seisakusho Co. of Japan plans to build a 170,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution project in Columbus to triple production of automotive nuts, bolts and specialty fasteners. Headcount at the new Sunright America site will nearly double, to 101. The $19 million project received $844,000 in incentives.

Emmis swings unique advertising deal with Google

June 4, 2007

Emmis Communications Corp. is turning to Google in its search for relief from a radio-industry slump. The local media company
is tapping the power of the popular Internet search engine to sell advertising for its Indianapolis and New York radio properties.

NOTIONS: How to beat the high price of dependence on petrol

June 4, 2007

Went to the gas station last week. Filled ‘er up. It’d been a few weeks since I’d done that. Seemed like the price had jumped pretty dramatically. The pump clicked off. The total read $48.75. Egad. Next day, Indianapolis declared a “Knozone Air Quality Action Day.” Some fellow at the Department of Public Works told the local paper there was “literally dirt in the air.” The paper described this gunk as “floating particles the diameter of a human hair,” particles…

Super rebuff builds pressure to attract even more events

June 4, 2007

With the 2011 Super Bowl galloping off to Dallas, pressure is building to bring in more of the marquee sports events the city’s
economy has come to rely on to keep hotels full, retail businesses humming and the national and international spotlight focused
on Indianapolis.

Autism’s rise challenges local agencies: Those with disorder face difficulties in locating meaningful employment

June 4, 2007

Experts haven’t pinpointed the exact reason, but they do know one thing-the rate at which children are being diagnosed with autism has been rising. About one child in 150 is diagnosed by the age of 8 with autism or a related autism spectrum disorder such as Asperger’s syndrome, according to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That rate is up about 10 times from the 1980s. Experts have a variety of theories to explain the…

Court tells telecom giants to pay payphone operators

June 4, 2007

The state’s 30-or-so independent payphone operators–a conveyance nearly made extinct by wireless phones–may begin receiving
refunds next month from AT&T Indiana and Verizon for excess charges the phone companies billed independent payphone operators
for dial tones from 1997 to 2004.

Service drives education software maker: Angel Learning quickly weathers PR setback

June 4, 2007

When The Indianapolis Star reported on its front page in mid-May that Indianapolis Public Schools had accidentally exposed thousands of private student records online, it was a potentially enormous public relations setback for locally based education software maker Angel Learning. Angel Learning had provided the software, and CEO Christopher Clapp said he immediately asked staffers to send explanation emails to all 300 of his customers. They then followed up with phone calls. He wanted to assuage clients’ worries right away….

SPORTS Bill Benner: Likely results of a 2012 bid: Success or cruelty

May 28, 2007

Indianapolis was no less a great sports city the afternoon of May 22 than it was the morning of May 22. Without question, among most (but not all) of our citizenry, the disappointment of not being awarded the 2011 Super Bowl was profound, especially so for those who put all their heart, soul, creative energy and tiring effort into crafting the bid. And for those who have never liked Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones even a little bit-yes, that’s my…

Gorilla exhibit to be one of nation’s largest: Apes and new oceans area designed to boost attendance, conservation

May 28, 2007

Fresh off the debut of a $9.5 million Oceans exhibit, the Indianapolis Zoo is already laying the groundwork for its next blockbuster. But it may come with a beastly price tag. A gorilla and bonobo habitat scheduled to open in 2013 is expected to cost tens of millions of dollars. “I can’t tell you if this is a $30 million project or a $50 million project,” said Indianapolis Zoo President Michael Crowther. “What I can tell you is that we’re…

Insurer stays on roll by hitting the brakes: Baldwin & Lyons profits more despite revenue drop

May 28, 2007

But that axiom doesn’t seem to apply to Baldwin & Lyons Inc. The quiet trucking-fleet insurer headquartered in Indianapolis happily let its revenue slide last year 7 percent, ending a four-year run of rapid growth. Why? Because new competitors have aggressively entered Baldwin’s traditional trucking market with lower prices. The industry’s margins have been slashed by half or more. Most businesses would call that trend a threat. But not Baldwin. President Joe DeVito disdainfully calls these new competitors “naive capital,”…

City gained momentum with Super Bowl bid

May 28, 2007

Indianapolis’ bid to host the 2011 Super Bowl missed by inches, but observers said the city nevertheless scored major points
that still could result in a victory. But not without suiting up again.

Law lets small employers band together for insurance: Experts disagree on whether associations will take off

May 28, 2007

The Healthy Indiana Plan, which enacts a system to bring affordable health insurance to low-income Hoosiers, is one of the most far-reaching pieces of legislation to arise from the General Assembly this spring. The noble cause could provide coverage to about 15 percent of the state’s population. Yet it could affect the small-business community as much as the state’s growing number of uninsured. House Bill 1678, introduced by State Rep. Charlie Brown, D-Gary, and signed by Gov. Mitch Daniels May…

UPDATE: Irsay vows to land Super Bowl another day

May 22, 2007

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Indianapolis will get a Super Bowl, Colts owner Jim Irsay said today. When is another matter. NFL owners voted this afternoon to play the 2011 game at the 100,000-seat Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The decision, which Irsay said came down to a 17-15 vote, dashed Indianapolis’ hopes of strengthening its status as a […]

UPDATE: Sweetened Dallas offer may have sunk Indy’s bid

May 22, 2007

Dallas added suites to its 2011 Super Bowl proposal at the 11th hour-a move that may have dealt a fatal blow to Indianapolis‘ bid to host the big game. Sources say Dallas viewed the additional suites as needed because of strong competition from Indianapolis. The suites will be used by the NFL to entertain guests […]

UPDATE: Dungy’s nerves worse than during football games

May 22, 2007

NASHVILLE, TENN.-Indianapolis’ Super Bowl bid has been delivered. Now comes the wait. A five-person contingent from the Circle City, led by Baker & Daniels partner Fred Glass and headlined by Indianapolis Colts Coach Tony Dungy, spent more than 20 minutes in a closed-door meeting with NFL owners. They emerged a few minutes before 1 p.m. […]

UPDATE: IMS, Conseco would host bowl bashes

May 22, 2007

NASHVILLE, TENN.-Lucas Oil Stadium isn’t the only local sports venue that would see action if NFL owners pick Indianapolis to host the 2011 Super Bowl. Indianapolis Motor Speedway would be decked out for the league commissioner’s prestigious Friday night party, and Conseco Fieldhouse would be the site of a “star-studded concert” on the eve of […]
