Senior Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana) made a late move that saw him rise one spot throughout the final stages of Saturday morning’s Trevecca Division II Showcase Invitational and the positioning proved pivotal as No. 8 University of Southern Indiana Men’s Cross Country earned a one-point victory over No. 20 University of Charleston (W.Va.) in a 10-team field that featured four nationally-ranked teams.

Nolan finished third in the 110-competitor field with an eight-kilometer time of 25 minutes, 2.9 seconds as the Screaming Eagles finished with a team score of 60 points.

Sophomore Titus Winders (Mansfield, Tennessee), who joined his brother Javan Winders (Mansfield, Tennessee) in competing in their home state for the first time in their collegiate cross country careers, finished ninth with a time of 25:36.6. Senior Nathan Hall (Springfield, Missouri) was 10th with a time of 25:36.9.

As a team, the Eagles placed four runners in the top 20 and six in the top 30 as they posted a four-point win over third-place and No. 16-ranked Lee University (Tenn.). The University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, which entered the week ranked No 10 in the nation, was fourth with 68 points.

Rounding out USI’s top five finishers were juniors Grady Wilkinson (Mt. Carmel, Illinois) and Gavin Prior (Mattoon, Illinois), who were 18th and 22nd, respectively. Senior Darin Lawrence(Indianapolis, Indiana) was 29th in his season debut, while the Eagles’ top seven was completed with the 33rd-place finish of junior Wyat Harmon (Fredericktown, Ohio).

USI returns to action October 12 when the Eagles compete at the Lewis University Crossover in Romeoville, Illinois. The Eagles host the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships October 26 as well as the NCAA II Midwest Region Championships November 9 at Angel Mounds.

DEEP STATE: Reports Point to the Trump-Ukraine Whistleblower Being a CIA Agent

DEEP STATE: Reports Point to the Trump-Ukraine Whistleblower Being a CIA Agent

by MATT VESPAFOR TOWNHALL

So, who is this Trump-Ukraine whistleblower? Yes, the identities of whistleblowers are protected, but we all know pieces about who these folks are trickles down to the press. This is the Trump White House. The liberal media hates the president. They will do anything to destroy him, even outing the identity of the CIA agent. The New York Times reported that three anonymous sources told them the whistleblower is a member of The Company, though of course, Langley didn’t comment and the legal team for this person said such reporting was “dangerous.” This agent was assigned to the White House (via NYT) [emphasis mine]:

The whistle-blower who revealed that President Trump sought foreign help for his re-election and that the White House sought to cover it up is a C.I.A. officer who was detailed to work at the White House at one point, according to three people familiar with his identity.
The man has since returned to the C.I.A., the people said. Little else is known about him. His complaint made public Thursday suggested he was an analyst by training and made clear he was steeped in details of American foreign policy toward Europe, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of Ukrainian politics and at least some knowledge of the law.
The whistle-blower’s expertise will likely add to lawmakers’ confidence about the merits of his complaint, and tamp down allegations that he might have misunderstood what he learned about Mr. Trump. He did not listen directly to a July call between Mr. Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukrainethat is at the center of the political firestorm over the president’s mixing of diplomacy with personal political gain.
This complaint is the hill Democrats have decided to die on concerning impeaching Trump. This whistleblower alleges that President Trump coerced Ukrainian leaders to open a corruption probe into former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, or risk having military aid withheld. That did not happen. In fact, a transcript of the call showed that it was the Ukrainians who brought up Biden and Trump’s “favor” was merely asking them to help with the Department of Justice’s investigation into the origins of the Russia collusion circus. This whistleblower also wasn’t in on the call. The Trump-Russia collusion myth, which the Democrats had hoped to find something impeachable, was already a shoddy reason to engage in this nonsensical crusade to undo the 2016 election. This wild goose chase is even more pathetic. There was nothing illegal here. There was no quid pro quo. And the president can say whatever he wants to foreign leaders. It’s not the job of the intelligence community to snitch on the president.

St. Vincent Recognizes NICU Awareness Month

0

Neonatal Intensive Care Awareness or NICU Awareness Month is hosted in September of every year and is designed to honor NICU patients, their families, and the NICU professionals who care for them. St. Vincent has cared for thousands of NICU babies over the years and is asking the community to share their story online to help bring more awareness around this subject.

When most families learn that a new baby will be added to their family, there is hope and excitement, but sometimes the unexpected happens. Each year more than half a million babies are admitted to the NICU and thanks to advances in neonatal medicine, more babies have been able to benefit from the specialized care at St. Vincent and other neonatal intensive care units across the country.

Having a NICU at your hospital is important because caring for infants is different than caring for other patients. The field of neonatology is highly specialized and requires a team of professionals that may include neonatologists, psychologists, lactation consultants, nurse practitioners, pulmonologists and more.

Most people assume babies who are treated in the NICU are premature, but more than half of the babies admitted to the NICU were born at normal birth weight and are 37 weeks gestation or older. St. Vincent physicians are thankful for the valuable data that is available to help them deliver the best NICU care for babies, but more research is needed.

What can you do help promote NICU awareness all year long?

  1. Educate yourself – most NICU babies have special needs that last longer than their NICU stay and some babies may have special health and developmental needs that last a lifetime. Seek out a family like yours or find out how to support another family in need
  2. Recognize NICU staff – write a note, send an email or gift to your local NICU staff to let them know that they’re making a difference and you appreciate them
  3. Share your story – most people have never heard of a NICU before. Let others know about the extraordinary care that NICUs provide. Use the hashtag #NICUAwareness if sharing online and tag St. Vincent Evansville on Facebook @StVincentEvansville
