FOREIGNER “The Hits On Tour” AT OLD NATIONAL EVENTS PLAZA

0

Founded in 1976, Foreigner’s debut album produced the hits “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice” and “Long, Long Way From Home.”

The album Double Vision followed, as did a string of hits like “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” Those songs helped give Foreigner’s next album, 4.

its impressive run at #1 on the Billboard chart. At the zenith of 80’s sound, Foreigner’s fifth album, Agent Provocateur, gave the world the incredible #1 global hit,” I Want To Know What Love Is.” This musical milestone followed the record-breaking song “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” On September 13th, 2017 Foreigner’s catalog sales were celebrated in Business Insider magazine as hitting the Top 40 among the Best Selling Music Artists of All Time.

The Beatles were justifiable #1, but Foreigner came in ahead of Britney Spears, Bob Dylan, Phil Collins, Prince, Queen, Bon Jovi, and Def Leppard.

 

 

‘Last Major Hurdles’ Cleared In ISBA Health Plan

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

In a unanimous decision, the Indiana State Bar Association board of directors has approved the key pieces needed to establish the association’s new health insurance plan for members.

The board, meeting Feb. 18, approved the creation of the voluntary employees’ beneficiary association trust, which will be used to collect premiums from members participating in the health coverage and pay the medical claims. Also, the board approved the membership requirement, mandating that at least 20 percent of a firm’s Indiana-licensed attorneys be ISBA members in order to participate in the health insurance plan.

“These were the last major hurdles we needed to clear in order to build a health care plan that will serve all Indiana attorneys,” said Joe Skeel, ISBA executive director. “We have only a few minor details left, and we are excited we soon will be able to enroll members.”

The ISBA has been aware of the trouble members, especially solo and small firm practitioners, have had in finding affordable health insurance. Now partnering with health care tech startup Apostrophe, Inc., which will serve as the third-party administrator, the ISBA is building its own health plan that, unlike coverage from the major health insurance carriers, will cover solo practitioners.

Enrollment in the plan will begin soon, with coverage starting June 1.

REPUBLICANS REJECT HATFIELD AMENDMENT TO FUND PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE ON U.S. HIGHWAY 41

0

INDIANAPOLIS – Republicans rejected a proposal authored by Representative Ryan Hatfield (D-Evansville) that would have funded a pedestrian bridge over U.S. Highway 41 in Evansville near Benjamin Bosse High School.

Hatfield authored the amendment to House Bill 1001, the biennial state budget. It would have allocated $1 million of state funding to the construction of a pedestrian bridge over U.S. Highway 41 in Evansville at Washington Avenue.

“Children in Evansville have to cross Highway 41 to get to school every day,” Hatfield said. “Students should not have to risk their safety in order to attend school. We have a pedestrian bridge for nearly every other high school in town and it is time we protect Bosse students too.

“If we can’t ensure a child feels safe on their daily walk to school, we are not doing enough to protect our students,” Hatfield added.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking nominations of qualified candidates who desire to serve as members of EPA’s Great Lakes Advisory Board (GLAB).

The GLAB was re-established in December 2018 following Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler’s approval of the Board’s charter. It will provide advice and recommendations to the EPA Administrator through the Great Lakes National Program Manager on matters related to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the implementation of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between the United States and Canada.

The GLAB will be composed of approximately fifteen members who will serve as representative members of non-federal interests. EPA will consider candidates representing a broad range of interests, including business groups, environmental organizations, academia and state, local and tribal governments. In selecting members, EPA will consider the differing perspectives needed to address the GLAB’s charter.

Other criteria used to evaluate nominees will include:

  • Experience with Great Lakes issues;
  • Leadership and consensus-building experience in Great Lakes organizations, businesses and workgroups;
  • Membership in professional societies involved with Great Lakes issues;
  • Academic leadership and expertise;
  • Community leadership; and
  • Representation of multiple constituencies within the Great Lakes basin.

The GLAB will meet in person or by electronic means twice a year. In-person meetings will be held in the Great Lakes region.

Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified persons to be considered for appointment to the GLAB. Individuals may self-nominate. Nominations may be submitted electronically with the subject line “GLAB Nomination 2019” to Barnes.Edlynzia@epa.gov, or by regular mail to Edlynzia Barnes, Designated Federal Officer, G

UE Announces Increased Salaries and Outcomes for 2018 Graduates

0

A recent survey of the University of Evansville’s 2018 graduating class revealed that 95 percent of graduates were employed or pursuing further education within six months of graduation and the median salary of those employed full time is $52,500.

In comparison, UE’s class of 2017 saw a 94 percent career outcome rate and a $47,750 median salary among those employed.

“This increase can be attributed to the University’s commitment to offering students not only an outstanding educational experience, but also a unique and individualized career planning process,” said Michael Austin, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at UE. “UE takes an active role to help ensure the future success of our students from their first connection with the University to long after graduation.”

UE’s Center for Career Development provides comprehensive services to students throughout their collegiate journey. Through the Career Advantage Program, prospective students have the opportunity to actively evaluate and test career options by taking a career assessment, meeting with a career advising professional, and developing a career action plan. Prospective students can begin the Career Advantage Program during their first visit to UE before even committing to attend.

The survey, a collaborative effort between UE’s Center for Career Development, Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, academic departments, and others, produced career information on 96 percent of the 501 members of the class of 2018.

UE’s career outcome rate of 95 percent stands in contrast to the National Association of Colleges and Employers Career Services Benchmark Survey, which shows an 81.2 percent placement rate nationally for 2017 graduates.

EPA Releases 2018 Power Plant Emissions Demonstrating Continued Progress

0

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released preliminary data on 2018 emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants in the lower 48 states. This data shows a decline in both NOx and SO2 emissions compared to 2017.

“These data show that America is enjoying ever cleaner air as our economy grows, and the U.S. continues as a global leader in clean air progress,” said EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation Bill Wehrum. “Through state and federal fulfillment of the Clean Air Act, and advances by the power sector, we’ve seen significant reductions in key pollutants while electricity generation has increased.”

The data shows a 4 percent decline in NOx emissions compared to 2017, and a 6 percent decline in SO2. Annual CO2 from power plants rose by just 0.6 percent during the same time period, even while electric generation increased by 5 percent.

From 1990-2018, annual emissions of SO2 from power plants fell by 92 percent and annual emissions of NOx from power plants fell by 84 percent. Total 2018 annual emissions were 1.26 million tons for SO2 and 1.02 million tons for NOx.

These data support longer term trends in air quality progress. For example:

  • From 1970 to 2017, the combined emissions of the six key pollutants regulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards dropped by 73 percent, while the U.S. economy grew more than 260 percent and the population continued to expand.
  • Over the last decade, concentrations of sulfur dioxide have fallen by over 75 percent in the U.S.
  • Carbon dioxide emissions from power plants dropped by roughly 20 percent since 2011.
  • For power plants that EPA and states regulate to address cross-border ozone contributions, NOx emissions dropped by over 20 percent between the 2016 and 2018 ozone seasons.

As part of EPA’s commitment to provide the public with access to high quality, relevant and useful information on the power sector, all of the data collected by EPA is posted online and accessible to the public. EPA collects detailed SO2, NOX, and CO2 emission data and other information from power plants across the country, as part of Acid Rain Program, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and the CSAPR Update Rule.

EPA has updated our Power Plant Emission Trends webpage with data from 2018. These pages offer charts, maps and summary tables of the most recent emission data and other information on power plants. Providing the recently reported 2018 emission data from power plants across the country in multiple formats helps the public understand how SO2, NOx and CO2 emissions from power plants are changing and when and where changes have occurred.
