Aw, shucks, don't mention it. Glad to be of service:
MUNCIE -- Carol Schafer has been looking for work since she and 10 other employees at Radiology Associates and Bethel Billing were laid off Nov. 8, 2008.

Isn't "branding" one of the biggest scams in the world? Consultants make millions convincing communities they can sell the sizzle instead of delivering the steak. The latest suckers in Indiana are in the northwest part of the state:
The Indiana Dunes in Porter County is perhaps the eighth wonder of the world.
That's one of the statements from a working tourism poster that county tourism leaders fashioned with national tourism experts.

There were proposals on the table worth at least $10 billion for the leasing of everuthing from highways to lotteries. But that was before the recession:
Having solved all other problems, Indiana University now devotes some of those research dollars to . . . office gossip. Researchers observed meetings and even taped 13 of them and came to this startling conclusion:
"Be aware that what is going on is a form of politics and it's a form of politics that can be a weapon to undermine people who aren't present. But it also can be a gift. If people are talking positively it can be a way to enhance someone's reputation."
This week's sign that the End Times are near:
The kind of story we don't see every day (thank goodness):
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — State health officials say a person from southern Indiana's Clark County has died of rabies.
Those of us who attended college in the bad old days of repression and guilt clearly missed out on all the fun:
Sexploration at IU, the second annual weeklong series of fun, interactive sex-positive events offering Indiana University students information about sexuality related issues, begins today (Oct. 26) on the Bloomington campus.
