Home to the Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts, the NBA's Indiana Pacers, the re-emerging college basketball powerhouse Indiana Hoosiers, as well as the Indianapolis 500 every Memorial Day, Indiana is a sports lover's paradise. Origins of the word "˜Hoosiers' are variously attributed to the slurring of an early frontier greeting when approaching an unfamiliar cabin, "Who'sh "˜ere?"� and to the skills of Indiana brawlers at beating or "hushing"� their foes - these "hushers"� later being called Hoosiers. Whatever the derivation of the word, Indianans are proud to call themselves Hoosiers, and Hoosiers are hysterical when it comes to their sports teams.

Indiana's economy relies heavily upon manufacturing with the steel, industrial machinery, and pharmaceutical industries key to its success. In fact, pharmaceutical giants Eli Lilly and Mead Johnson Nutritionals are headquartered in the state, and Indiana ranks second in the U.S. in the number of biopharmaceutical jobs. While the state's current power production is heavily dependent on the burning of coal, Indiana is fast becoming a leader in the production of biofuels such as enthanol and biodiesel, and will play an important role in America's energy independent future.
