@ProfCDTaylor @GraphCrimes Abe lived all of his formative years in Indiana. He lived in Illinois aka 'the land of Lincoln' for a cup of coffee before DC called. I'd sooner concede the 'land of" title to Kentucky, since at least he was born there and hung around for 5 minutes before moving to Indiana.

1/ Shout out to my @BallState @miller_business colleague, Emily Wornell for winning the Early Career Award from the Rural Sociological Society this week. Her work on quality of life, and prosperity in rural communities has garnered more than $1.2 million in funded research.

@ProfCDTaylor I'm reminded of a a new VP of sales who liked to refrain 'Sales without profit is an idiot's delight'. He was fighting against a culture of 'successful' agents who heavily discounted deals just to 'win' them and were celebrated by everyone who wasn't looking at the P&L.

SO, DENSITY AND WALKABILITY ARE NOT LIMITED TO URBAN COMMUNITIES. LIKE, YOU CAN BUILD DENSITY ANYWHERE. WOULDN’T IT BE AWESOME TO HAVE A SECOND-FLOOR HISTORIC APARTMENT ABOVE A GROCERY STORE AND AN ART STUDIO IN RURAL VERMONT? AND HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A STREETCAR SUBURB—

@gbosslet Christopher Walken achieves his unique speaking style by insisting that his copy of a script has all punctuation removed prior to reading it.

@HicksCBER @aaron_renn But not malpractice, it's near impossible to make a claim in Indiana,as access to civil court is blocked by a medical peer panel that decides 80-85% with their employers and co-worker/s. Even then, damages are capped at $1M or after legal fees -not much. indystar.com/in-depth/news/…
