Omaha placed 8th... highest ranked midwestern city.

Although the article refers to Omaha in the only context worse than 'Omaha, Nebraska'... 'Omaha and the State of Iowa'. :)

I'd rather Omaha be in Iowa than Nebraska. Yay for us though.

At least put it in context, Jeff. They were talking about the insurance industry in Omaha AND in the State of Iowa; you see, Omaha is now so well known, they don't even have to include Nebraska after it anymore! Although, for your typical New Yorker, I can see where they might be confused.
