INDIANA

Indiana is a US state, admitted to the United States as the 19th on December 11, 1816. It is located in the Midwestern United States and Great Lakes Region. With 6,483,802 residents, the state is ranked 15th in population and 16th in population density. Indiana is ranked 38th in land area and is the smallest state in the continental US west of the Appalachian Mountains. Its capital and largest city is Indianapolis, the second largest of any state capital and largest state capital east of the Mississippi River.

Before it became a territory, varying cultures of indigenous peoples and historic Native Americans inhabited Indiana for thousands of years. Angel Mounds State Historic Site, one of the best preserved ancient earthwork mound sites in the United States, can be found in Southwestern Indiana near Evansville.

Residents of Indiana are known as Hoosiers. The derivation of the term is disputed, but one hypothesis has "Hoosier" originating from a frontier greeting, a corruption of "Who's here?" The state's name means "Land of the Indians," or simply "Indian Land." This name dates back to at least the 1760s but was first applied to the region by the United States Congress when the Indiana Territory was incorporated in 1800, separating it from the Northwest Territory.

Today, Indiana has a diverse economy with a gross state product of $214 billion in 2005. Indiana has several metropolitan areas with populations greater than 100,000 and a number of smaller industrial cities and towns. Indiana is home to several major sports teams and athletic events including the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, the NBA's Indiana Pacers, the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, and the Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 motorsports races. The state also has several NCAA Division I athletic programs, notably the Indiana Hoosiers, Purdue Boilermakers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Butler Bulldogs.

Furthermore, the state has several universities ranked among the best in U.S. News & World Report's 2011 rankings. Indiana University, Purdue University, and the University of Notre Dame are ranked among the top 50 in the National Universities Rankings, while Butler University, Valparaiso University and the University of Evansville are ranked among the top 10 in the Regional University Midwest Rankings. Additionally, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has been rated the best undergraduate engineering program by the magazine since the year 2000.   Source: Wikipedia

 

ESTABLISHING AN INDIANA RESOURCE CENTER

 We'd enjoy an opportunity to build an Indiana Resource Center with your help, support and passionate cooperation.

Over the last ten years we've built a powerful "Resource Center 3.0" platform and business model to support local and regional development of resource centers for communications and networking, interdependence and economic self–reliance, and we'd like to offer this opportunity to the entire Michigan community.

This platform is more advanced than Facebook and focused on building and strengthening community locally. But our company doesn't have the market capitalization of Facebook so we'll require our partners, advertisers and sponsors to make a financial commitment to be able to support this development. There is no time more critical than right now!

So we're looking for the first twelve "Associate" partners ($48/month), the first 24 "Business" partners ($24/month) and the first 100 "Community" partners ($12/month) to make this feasible ASAP.

If we can get enough financial commitments we'll come back in three months and facilitate the Indiana Resource Center regional resource center development and turn it over to a local ORGANIZING TEAM to operate.

• Associate
• Business
• Community

That's our current vision and proposal for building and deploying these worldwide.
