University of Southern Indiana Softball is the unanimous No. 1 ranked team in the nation according to the National Fastpitch Coaches’ Association Preseason Top 25 Poll, which was released Wednesday morning.

The Screaming Eagles received all 16 first-place votes after capturing their first-ever national championship in 2018. USI finished the year with a 41-23 overall record and a 15-13 mark in Great Lakes Valley Conference play a year ago. They went 14-1 in the post-season record en route to the school’s first-ever women’s team national title.

In addition to USI, the GLVC is represented by the University of Illinois Springfield (12), while the Midwest Region also is represented by Grand Valley State University (16).

Trailing USI in the top five was No. 2 Southern Arkansas University, No. 3 University of North Georgia, No. 4 Saint Anselm College and No. 5 St. Leo University. The Eagles are slated to play five teams that are in the NFCA Preseason Top 25 Poll, including Saint Anselm (March 6), No. 11 University of Alabama-Huntsville (February 9), Illinois Springfield (March 17), No. 13 Young Harris College (February 8) and Grand Valley State (March 5).

Head Coach Sue Kunkle, who earned her 500th career win during the GLVC Tournament last season, returns for her 18th year at the helm of the Eagles after her coaching staff was named the NFCA National Coaching Staff of the Year. Kunkle will look to a two-time All-American in junior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) to lead her squad into 2019.

Leonhardt was named the NCAA II Softball Championship Most Outstanding Player after going 5-0 with a 1.44 ERA, a .091 opponent batting average and 40 strikeouts in 34 innings of work. That effort included a one-hit shutout of top-ranked University of North Georgia as well as USI’s first-ever post-season no-hitter in USI’s 3-0 win over Angelo State University.

In the post-season, Leonhardt posted a 12-1 overall record with a 1.35 ERA, .152 opponent batting average and 96 strikeouts.

Leonhardt, who was named preseason second-team All-America by Fastpitch News last week, is one of several returning players that made a major impact last year. Senior second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana) and senior outfielder/pitcher Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) each earned NCAA II Softball Championship All-Tournament accolades a year ago. Johnson hit .313 with two home runs and four RBIs in the NCAA II Softball Championship; and posted a team-best .356 batting average with nine RBIs and 17 run scored throughout the postseason.

Bradley hit .375 with a double, home run and seven RBIs during the Eagles’ five-game championship run a year ago after posting a 7-4 record with three saves, a 1.87 ERA and a .241 opponent batting average in the circle as a sophomore in 2018.

Junior outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) also bolsters the Eagles’ offensive lineup after earning second-team All-Midwest Region and All-GLVC honors last season. She led USI with a .340 batting average, 14 doubles, 10 home runs and 51 RBIs in 2018.

USI, which has won two straight regional titles, opens the season February 8 when it takes on Young Harris at the UAH Charger Chillout in Huntsville, Alabama. The Eagles are slated to host the Midwest Region Crossover February 22-24 at Deaconess Sports Park before taking part in The Spring Games March 2-9 in Clermont, Florida.

The Eagles open their 2019 home and GLVC schedule March 16 when it hosts McKendree at the USI Softball Field. USI has eight home doubleheaders at the USI Softball Field, which will be decked out with new bleachers this year.

GLVC Tournament play returns to the EastSide Centre in East Peoria, Illinois, May 2-4, while the NCAA II Midwest Region Tournament is May 9-12. The NCAA II Super Regional is May 16-17, while the 2019 NCAA II Softball Championship is May 23-27 in Denver, Colorado.

In FoxNews.com piece, AG Curtis Hill laments ‘barbaric’ NY abortion law and pledges to ‘stand strong for a culture of life’

0

In an op-ed published today at FoxNews.com, Attorney General Curtis Hill describes as “unthinkable” a recently-enacted New York law legalizing abortion up until the moment before a child’s birth. Under the law, a woman wishing to abort at the last minute must only convince a nurse that a late-term abortion is needed to protect the woman’s health – “likely including (under existing judicial interpretation) her emotional well-being,” as the Attorney General writes.

“Thankfully,” the Attorney General adds, “some states remain havens for genuine equality and civilized treatment of our fellow humans – at least as far as the U.S. Supreme Court will allow. Indiana, for example, not only prohibits abortions after 20 weeks but also prohibits any abortion from being undertaken solely because of the race, sex or disability of the baby.

“Indiana also requires medical personnel to treat all miscarried and aborted babies as fully human; their remains must be cremated or buried rather than treated as mere ‘medical waste.’ These protections ensure that all lives – born and unborn, male and female – are accorded basic human dignity.”

In his op-ed, Attorney General Hill notes that he has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review lower federal court decisions that have enjoined these Indiana statutes promoting “a culture of life.”

Indiana Dominates Weekly Big Ten Swimming and Diving Honors

0

The No. 3/11-ranked Indiana University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams dominated the weekly Big Ten honors, the league announced on Wednesday.

The Hoosier men swept all three awards, as Zach Apple was named Swimmer of the Week, Andrew Capobianco was named Diver of the Week and Michael Brinegar was named Freshman of the Week. On the women’s side, Jessica Parratto was named Diver of the Week.

Apple was dominant for IU in the team’s win over No. 24-ranked Purdue last Saturday, winning three individual events and one relay. The senior touched the wall first in the 50 freestyle (20.09), 100 freestyle (44.27) and 200 freestyle (1:38.77). Apple also helped Indiana win the men’s 400 freestyle relay in a time of 2:57.23.

Against Purdue last Saturday, Parratto continued her winning ways, taking first in both the women’s 1-meter and platform dives with NCAA Zones qualifying scores. The Dover, N.H. native won the 1-meter with a total of 311.70 and the platform dive with a mark of 316.65.

Capobianco had a career showing in the 1-meter against Purdue, winning with a NCAA Zones qualifying score and personal-best mark of 424.95. The sophomore also recorded a Zones score, placing second in the platform dive with a score of 366.98.

Brinegar continued his stellar freshman season, winning both the men’s 500 freestyle and 1,000 freestyle against the Boilermakers. Brinegar touched the wall with a winning time of 4:26.95 in the 500 free and a mark of 9:07.43 in the 1,000 free.

The No. 3/11 Hoosiers will be back in action on Friday, Feb. 1 when the team hosts No. 8/16 Louisville on Senior Day at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington, Ind. Diving gets underway at 12:15 p.m. ET with swimming starting at 2:00 p.m. The meet will be streamed live on BTN Plus starting at 2:00 p.m. ET.

USI’s CubeSat satellite to be deployed at 7:40 a.m. Thursday, January 31

0

A satellite designed and built by University of Southern Indiana undergraduate students is scheduled for deployment into orbit from the International Space Station at approximately 7:40 a.m. Thursday, January 31. USI students will monitor the deployment from the UNITE Mission Operations Center in the Business and Engineering Center (BEC) on the USI campus, and anticipate receiving the satellite’s first transmission as early as 8:30 a.m.

The UNITE CubeSat satellite, built to measure plasma levels in the lower ionosphere, was delivered to the International Space Station on a SpaceX Dragon cargo ship on Tuesday, December 7, 2018. Once deployed, it will be the first operational satellite in orbit built by an Indiana higher education institution. The CubeSat will also measure its own internal and skin temperatures through the mission. It is expected to orbit the Earth for 15 months before returning through the Earth’s atmosphere, during which time its orbital decay will be measured.

UNITE was selected for flight by NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) and was one of two satellites launched for the Educational Launch of Nanosatellites-21 (ELaNa-21) mission complement, sponsored by the NASA Launch Services Program.The other was from San Jose State University. USI will also share a deployment date with CubeSats from Aarhus University in Denmark and John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab.

Media members are invited to the BEC to cover the deployment – a live video feed of the deployment will be available via WebEx. While media are not able to be in the UNITE Mission Operations Center with the USI UNITE CubeSat team members during deployment, we plan to offer a live feed from the Mission Operations Center as well.

Members of the student team as well as the project’s faculty advisor Dr. Glen Kissel, associate professor of engineering, will be available for interview between time of the deployment at 7:40 a.m. and the time the initial transmission is expected at 8:30 a.m. This interview time is tentative and may be adjusted depending on deployment variables. All live feeds and interviews will take place in Room 1035 in the Business and Engineering Center, A map of campus that includes the BEC and nearby parking lots can be found at USI.edu/map. Please arrive by at least 7:30 a.m. if you plan to cover the deployment.

Investiture ceremony for Judge Hanlon Friday

0

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

Judge James Patrick Hanlon, the newest addition to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, will be formally sworn in at a special ceremony starting at 2 p.m. Friday in the Birch Bayh Federal Building and United States Courthouse. Southern Indiana Chief Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson will preside over the en banc ceremony in the William E. Steckler Ceremonial Courtroom.

Hanlon was confirmed by a voice vote in the U.S. Senate in October 2018. He filled the last open seat on the busy district court, filling the vacancy that was created in July 2018 when Judge William Lawrence took senior status.

“The court is delighted to have Judge Hanlon on the bench,” Chief Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson said. “He is an immensely talented attorney and his experience and success in private practice, with the United States Attorney’s Office, and as a law clerk make him the perfect person to fill the latest vacancy on the court.”

Hanlon has already taken his place on the court. His caseload is drawn from the Indianapolis and Terre Haute divisions. In addition to drawing newly assigned cases, he has been reassigned cases from other judges.

“The addition of Judge Hanlon brings the Southern District of Indiana back to its full complement of five full-time district judges and we are grateful to be at full strength once more,” Magnus-Stinson said.

Along with the five full-time judges, the court also has Lawrence and Senior Judge Sarah Evans Barker, who continue to carry heavy caseloads.

Prior to his appointment as district judge, Hanlon was a partner in the Indianapolis office of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, where he served as co-chair of the firm’s white-collar defense and investigations practice. Hanlon became a partner at the firm’s predecessor, Baker & Daniels LLP, in 2006.

From 2001 to 2006, Hanlon served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. He was also a law clerk to the Honorable Robert L. Miller of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana from 1997 to 1998. Hanlon was in private practice with Seyfarth Shaw LLP in Chicago from 1996 to 1997, and again after his clerkship, from 1998 until his move to Indianapolis in 2001.

A native of Evanston, Illinois, Hanlon earned a B.A. from DePauw University in 1992. In 1996, he earned his J.D., magna cum laude, from Valparaiso University Law School, where he served as articles editor of the Valparaiso University Law Review.
