Gov. Holcomb announces Indiana selected for elite cyber battalion

0

Gov. Eric J. Holcomb announced today that the country’s fifth National Guard cyber battalion will be located in Indiana.

“With our National Guard’s current cyber resources and Indiana’s top notch academic institutions, our state is a natural fit for one of the country’s first cyber battalions,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Warfare is becoming increasingly digital and it’s an honor for Indiana to be home to those who protect our country from computer-generated threats.”

The 127th Cyber Protection Battalion will be made up of nearly 100 soldiers focused on cyber security and cyber warfare.

The soldiers will have access to the U.S. Department of Defense’s only live, full-scale cyber range at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Jennings County. The center is unique with its realistic simulations with live environments for cyber and electronic warfare testing and training.

Indiana is also home to one of the nation’s premier Defense Department laboratories, the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Martin County, with experts in cyber security and hardware assurance.

A majority of National Guard members are part-time. The additional education and skills the National Guard provides to soldiers creates a stronger civilian workforce as cyber security jobs are in high demand. This training includes Ivy Tech’s Cyber Academy at Muscatatuck.

“I am excited about the opportunity of stationing a cyber battalion in the Indiana National Guard. Indiana is well suited to build and generate mission readiness with this critical force structure,” said Indiana’s Adjutant General, Brig. Gen. R. Dale Lyles.

The Army National Guard created its first and only cyber brigade in 2016. The 91st Cyber Brigade, based in Virginia, oversees five subordinate battalions. The initial four battalions are located on the east coast: two in Virginia, one in South Carolina and one in Massachusetts.

AG Curtis Hill files lawsuit against three opioid distributors

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today filed a lawsuit against three drug distributors responsible for a commanding share of the prescription opioids sold to Indiana pharmacies during the relevant time period.

The complaint alleges that AmerisourceBergen Drug Corp., Cardinal Health and McKesson Corp. violated Indiana law by: 1) designing flawed systems that failed to adequately identify, report and prevent the shipment of suspicious orders for opioids; 2) failing to adhere to the terms of their own anti-diversion programs for opioids; and 3) unfairly and deceptively marketing prescription opioids.

“Distributors play a crucial role in the drug supply chain,” Attorney General Hill said. “As wholesalers, they are the link between drug manufacturers and the pharmacies that sell drugs directly to consumers. When they conduct themselves responsibly, distributors should function as a significant line of defense to protect the public from too many pills flooding into our communities and being diverted away from legitimate medical channels. In Indiana, these distributors failed to meet their legal obligations, and the results have been devastating.”

Indiana has had one of the highest rates of opioid prescribing and diversion in the nation. From 2012 to 2016, there were 58 Indiana counties with opioid prescribing rates greater than 100 prescriptions per 100 residents per year. As of 2012, Indiana had the ninth-highest rate of opioid prescriptions per capita — and the fifth-highest rate of diversion — in the United States. Between 2010 and 2016, more than 3,000 Hoosiers died of opioid overdoses.

The complaint alleges the three companies violated the law by distributing quantities of prescription opioids that they knew, or reasonably should have known, exceeded legitimate medical and scientific needs — while failing to maintain appropriate controls over such distribution. For years, these drugs were being overprescribed, misused, abused and diverted outside legitimate medical channels. The complaint further alleges that these companies engaged in deceptive, unfair and abusive business practices by marketing and promoting the sale of these addictive and dangerous drugs, all the while failing to implement effective controls against diversion.

In describing the alleged wrongdoing, Attorney General Hill explained: “AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal and McKesson are the largest wholesale distributors of opioids nationally and here in Indiana. Our lawsuit asserts that they breached their duty to prevent diversion of controlled substances by failing to maintain effective controls in their distribution systems and that these companies profited handsomely — to the tune of billions of dollars nationally — by their unlawful conduct.”

In the lawsuit, Attorney General Hill seeks civil penalties; injunctive relief; disgorgement of ill-gotten gains; and other appropriate relief.

“The effects of the opioid crisis in Indiana have been profound,” Attorney General Hill said. “The toll includes death, babies born addicted to these drugs, increases in drug-related crime and incarceration, devastating loss of work productivity and increased health care costs for the state and its citizens. The effects are felt not just by the individuals but also by their families and entire communities. These outcomes were predictable consequences of the distributors’ failure to impose and enforce adequate controls, and they have contributed to a full-blown public health crisis.”

The lawsuit filed today, spanning more than 200 pages, results from a lengthy, months-long investigation that included multiple depositions of individuals in the industry and extensive review of company documents.

The Office of the Attorney General is being assisted in this matter by the law firms of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC and Zimmerman Reed LLP.

Eagles resume GLVC play at UIndy, Bellarmine

0

The University of Southern Indiana volleyball team resumes Great Lakes Valley Conference action this weekend with a pair of road matches at the University of Indianapolis and Bellarmine University, Friday and Saturday, respectively.

The Screaming Eagles (11-11, 3-4 GLVC) currently sit in a four-way tie for the ninth spot in the league standings, just one match out of seventh, following last weekend’s non-conference slate in the Midwest Region Crossover.

Information on USI Volleyball, including coverage of the upcoming GLVC matches, can be found at GoUSIEagles.com. Both matches will be live-streamed at glvcsn.com.

How We Got Here

USI came away from the 2019 Midwest Region Crossover with a 2-1 record last weekend, falling early to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in four sets before defeating Northwood University in three and Kentucky Wesleyan College in five.

Junior setter Casey Cepicky continues to climb the all-time leader board in assists wearing a USI uniform. After posting 75 assists in Indianapolis last weekend, the three-year starter eclipsed 2,000 for her career, leaving her eighth in program history. Cepicky is on pace to reach sixth in the record book before the 2019 season concludes.

Senior outside hitter Lindsey Stose led the attack for the Eagles over the three matches with 35 kills (2.92 kills/set). Stose sits second on the team in kills at 184 for the season.

Freshman outside hitter Leah Anderson continues to pace USI’s attack with 234 kills over 22 matches (3.21 kills/set). Anderson posted an 18-kill effort in the five-set victory over the Panthers to close the Crossover on Saturday.

The Eagles sit fourth in the GLVC in blocks per set so far this season, due to the efforts of senior middle hitter Elexis Coleman, senior middle blocker Amanda Jung and freshman right side hitter Katherine Koch. The trio have combined for 98 of USI’s 164 blocks this season.

Coleman also ranks among the top-five GLVC players in hitting percentage at .352 for the year. At least week’s Crossover, the senior middle hitter dropped a whopping .405 hitting clip on USI’s regional foes.

USI also ranks second in the conference in service aces, both in total (124), and on a per-set basis (1.63). Stose leads the Eagles with 23, followed by Anderson with 22 and freshman setter Kelsie Vanitvelt with 18 aces.

USI at UIndy – Friday, 6 p.m.

The Greyhounds host the Eagles Friday with a 14-6 (5-2 GLVC) record in tow. UIndy’s league record sits third of 16 teams, tied with three other squads entering the weekend.

USI at Bellarmine – Saturday, 2 p.m.

The Knights bring a 15-7 (5-2 GLVC) record to Knights Hall for a Friday match with McKendree University before hosting the Eagles Saturday afternoon. Bellarmine is included in the four-team pile-up that features tied at third place in the GLVC standings that features UIndy.

The Eagles hold a 31-19 all-time advantage over Bellarmine, but have dropped six-straight to the Knights since the start of the 2016 season. USI last defeated Bellarmine at Knights Hall in 2013.
