Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” February 6, 2021

0

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning local, state, national, or international issues

The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss local, state, national, or world issues that they feel passionate about.

We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” 7 days a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

Cold shooting, rebounding send Eagles to third straight loss

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball struggled from the field and on the glass Thursday evening as the No. 23 Screaming Eagles suffered a 70-58 Great Lakes Valley Conference road loss to William Jewell College.

USI (10-4, 10-4 GLVC) went just 6-of-30 (.200) in the second and third quarters combined as William Jewell slowly built a commanding 48-32 lead with less than a minute to play in the third period.

The Eagles had scoring droughts of nearly five minutes in both the second and third periods and the Cardinals took advantage of the dry spells.

William Jewell (7-8, 7-8 GLVC) used the scoreless stretch to turn a two-point advantage into a 27-19 lead late in the opening half and the second to turn a one-point lead into a 10-point third-quarter advantage.

Senior guard Ashley Hunter (Flossmoor, Illinois) hit a three-pointer late in the second quarter to break the first scoreless drought; and USI went into the break facing a 27-22 halftime deficit. Sophomore guard Soffia Rieckers (Evansville, Indiana) and freshman forward Meredith Raley(Haubstadt, Indiana) had quick baskets to open the third period and bring USI to within a point.

The Cardinals, however, answered the Eagles push with a 9-0 run that took up nearly five minutes and left USI facing a 36-26 deficit. Jewell, which drained 11 three-pointers in the game, went on an 8-1 run moments later to push their lead to 16 points with 50 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

Raley, who finished the game with a team-high 16 points, 12 of which came in the second half, connected on a three-pointer as the Eagles closed the period on a 5-1 run to cut Jewell’s advantage to 12 points heading into the final 10 minutes.

The two teams caught fire to begin the fourth quarter and the Eagles were able to cut the Cardinals’ lead to eight points several times in the final 10 minutes. Jewell, however, seemed to have an answer every time the Eagles would cut the lead to eight as USI would get not closer throughout the remainder of the contest.

USI, which shot just 28.1 percent (18-64) from the field, forced the Cardinals into 26 turnovers, but Jewell held USI to just 4-of-26 (.154) from three-point range and out-rebounded the Eagles, 43-24.

In addition to Raley, the Eagles got 14 points and three assists from senior guard Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) in addition to seven points and five steals from Rieckers. Sophomore forward Hannah Haithcock (Washington, Missouri) added nine points, while Raley finished with a team-high five rebounds to go along with three assists in her first-career start.

Senior forward Kiara Bradley finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds to pace the Cardinals, who had three players with double-doubles. Senior guard Claire Burch added 15 points and 10 rebounds, while senior guard Sydney Offield finished was just two rebounds shy of a triple-double after finishing with 10 points, 11 assists and eight boards.

USI, which is in the midst of its first three-game regular-season losing streak since the 2015-16 season, returns to action Saturday at 2 p.m. when it takes on Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. The Hawks (7-6, 7-6 GLVC) fell to McKendree University, 62-55, Thursday evening after upsetting No. 1 Drury University, 75-69, Tuesday evening in Springfield, Missouri.

Bill To Protect Businesses From COVID-19 Lawsuits Passes House, Moves To Senate

Bill To Protect Businesses From COVID-19 Lawsuits Passes House, Moves To Senate

By Hope Shrum

TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS—The much-debated civil liability bill, House Bill 1002, passed through the Indiana House with a 76-20 final vote Monday. Now it will move to the Indiana Senate for review.

This bill, which would ensure businesses and other entities cannot be sued in many cases when visitors believe they contracted COVID-19 on business premises, was named a priority policy  for the 2021 session by Statehouse Republicans and Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb.

Rep. Jerry Torr, R-Carmel, authored HB 1002, protecting businesses from liability suits related to COVID-19.

There was debate mainly from Statehouse Democrats about whether the bill unfairly limits the right to sue nursing homes and businesses in real cases where employees, patients and customers were exposed to COVID-19 due to negligence.FOOTNOTE:

Those opposing the bill said it may be protecting employers who have chosen not to keep their employees and customers safe. They also said it could protect nursing homes from being held responsible for abuse and neglect of residents.

When the bill was open for amendments, Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, proposed a change to the bill so cases of deaths in nursing homes would receive special scrutiny and not be able to claim liability immunity. That amendment failed in a 28-65 vote.

The author of the bill, Rep. Jerry Torr, R-Carmel, argued that the bill won’t stop anyone from suing a nursing home if they believe there is legitimate malpractice or abuse.

$12.5 Million Settlement With McKinsey & Company For Its Role In “Turbocharging” The Opioid Epidemic With Purdue Pharma

0

INDIANAPOLIS – Attorney General Todd Rokita today announced a $12.5 million settlement for Indiana as part of a $573 million multi-state settlement with one of the world’s largest consulting firms, McKinsey & Company, resolving investigations into the company’s role in working for opioid companies, helping those companies promote their drugs, and profiting from the opioid epidemic.

“The opioid epidemic has devastated communities in Indiana and across the nation, claiming far too many lives,” said Attorney General Rokita. “We owe it to Hoosier families to hold those responsible for this crisis accountable and deliver the justice they deserve. I want to thank the attorneys in my office who have worked tirelessly to reach this historic settlement, which will bring substantial and immediate relief to communities across the state.”

This is the first multi-state opioid settlement to result in substantial payment to states to address the epidemic. Indiana’s $12,579,158 share of the settlement will be used to fund prevention, education, and treatment efforts in local communities. In addition to providing funds to address the crisis, the agreement calls for McKinsey to stop advising companies on potentially dangerous Schedule II and III narcotics.

Today’s filings describe how McKinsey contributed to the opioid crisis by selling aggressive marketing schemes and consulting services to opioid manufacturers, including Purdue Pharma, that encouraged physicians to over-prescribe OxyContin—triggering abuse, addiction, and death for thousands of patients. McKinsey continued these practices well after the opioid crisis was underway.

To increase public transparency, the agreement calls for McKinsey to disclose tens of thousands of its internal documents detailing its work for Purdue Pharma and other opioid companies and continue its investigation into allegations that two of its partners tried to destroy documents in response to investigations of Purdue Pharma. When states began to sue Purdue’s directors for their implementation of McKinsey’s marketing schemes, McKinsey partners began emailing about deleting documents and emails related to their work for Purdue.
