Second Leg of Tour Includes Stops in New York City, Los Angeles,
Chicago and Boston

“Disney Junior Dance Party On Tour” Presented by Pull-Ups® is extending its high-energy interactive tour, taking the immersive live concert experience designed for kids and families into some of the biggest markets in the US. With most of the initial dates sold out and second shows being added in multiple markets, the 90-minute concert that brings the beloved characters from the #1 preschool television network’s hit series to life is adding 50 new shows starting in September. The second leg of the tour includes shows in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston. The exclusive pre-sale begins today, Monday, April 23, with the general public on-sale starting Friday, April 27. For a complete list of on-sale cities and upcoming shows, visit disneyjuniortour.com.

Incorporating live appearances by favorite Disney Junior characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Elena of Avalor, Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins, interactive on-screen moments with Puppy Dog Pals, The Lion Guard and Muppet Babies, as well as the first-ever live appearance by Vampirina, “Disney Junior Dance Party On Tour” features 20 songs from Disney Junior’s hit series, as well as two brand new original songs for the tour. Directed by Amy Tinkham (ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars”), produced by Jonathan Shank of Red Light Management, and represented by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the concert is elevated by state of the art LED technology, a giant Mickey-shaped DJ booth, high-tech scrim screens that transport characters into the theater and 4D special effects.

Sponsored by Pull-Ups®, the tour also includes a 15-minute interactive pre-show countdown featuring new original song “I’m a Big Kid” written by Beau Black (“Mickey and the Roadster Racers,” “The Lion Guard”).  The song celebrates kids’ first milestones, and the pre-show warm-up teaches the audience three different dance moves that will later be incorporated into the show. Then the show hosts remind parents that it’s a good time to take their kids for a bathroom break before the show starts.

VIP package offers include a VIP Pre-Party or VIP After-Party. At the VIP Pre-Party, kids and families will have the opportunity to meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Doc McStuffins and Elena of Avalor. The VIP After-Party gives kids and families the first opportunity to meet Vampirina, plus Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy. Both are filled with dancing, food and fun!

SENATOR TOM COBURN ENDORSES MIKE BRAUN FOR US SENATE

0
Braun First Big Endorsement Of The Campaign By Fellow Outsider Tom Coburn
 Conservative businessman and outsider Mike Braun announced that he earned the endorsement of former U.S. Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
Highly regarded as one of the strongest conservatives in the history of the U.S. Senate, Senator Coburn spent years fighting for the Constitution and individual liberty. Coburn became nationally known when, in 2005, he lead the charge against the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere” in Alaska against the wishes of his own party.
“I am pleased to support and endorse Mike Braun, Indiana Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. Like myself, Mike is a social & fiscal conservative who supports term limits,” said Coburn. “As a successful businessman, Mike brings the very knowledge and background that is badly needed in our U.S. Senate today. Mike’s opposition to deficit spending and pork barrel projects together with his proven leadership abilities will make him a highly effective U.S. Senator.”
“I’m beyond honored to have earned the support of one of my idols in the U.S. Senate, Tom Coburn,” said Braun. “Senator Coburn stood for everything that I will in Washington – the Constitution, cutting spending and the debt, and getting Washington out of our lives. Hoosiers know I’m the only conservative choice on the ballot and I hope they’ll make their voices heard on May 8th.”

Morales brings 19 years of volleyball experience to Purple Aces

Purple Aces head volleyball coach Manolo Concepcion has announced the hiring of Fernando Morales as an assistant coach at the University of Evansville.

Morales brings 19 years of National and International playing experience to the Purple Aces with 12 of them coming overseas.  He brings extensive experience with both indoor and beach volleyball to UE.

“I am thrilled to have Fernando join our coaching staff. He brings tremendous experience to the table, being coached and trained by some of the best minds in the world of volleyball,” Concepcion said.  “His charismatic and transformational leadership capabilities are above and beyond. He has always been one of those players that know how to get the best out of his teammates and people around; this is why he has been the captain of the National Team, as well as of many of his Pro League teams around the globe.”

“He knows how to relate to players and teach the game well, which are two of my favorite aspects about his addition; especially since he has had the task of leading people from different backgrounds, races, religion, language and country of origin,” Concepcion added.  “I look forward to his contribution in areas like individual skill development, offensive coordination, in-game coaching, scouting report design, and recruiting.”

Morales also brings a wide range of coaching experience to the program.  An assistant coach at the professional level at Changas, he has also worked in several positions at the University of Kentucky camps, Cruz Control, Specialized Position Academy and the Fernando Morales Volleyball Camp.

A National Team Captain in Puerto Rico, Morales also played professionally in his native Puerto Rico along with Spain, Austria, Cyprus, Russia, Lebanon and Greece.  Professional organizations that he played for include: Playeros, Caribes, Criollos, Patriotas, Plataneros, Mets, Capitanes, PTV Malaga, HYPO VBK Klagenfurt, Hypo Tirol Inssbruck, Ajjacio, Hot Volleys, AEK Karava, Enisey Krasnoyarsk, Boucherieh, Orange and Pamvochaikos.

He was a 3-timen Pro League Champion and accumulated numerous awards in his career along with a silver medal in the 2008 Olympic Qualifiers.  He also played in the 2007 World Cup, earning a 6th place finish.

“I am excited to start the new stage of my life and am even more exited to do it with Manolo,” Morales said.  “I played my first years with him and now we are going to be together for my first years as a college coach.  We made a great team playing and I know we will have the same success coaching.”

Aces Seventh After First Day Of 2018 MVC Championship

0

The University of Evansville men’s golf team sits seventh after the first day of the 2018 Missouri Valley Conference Championship at Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

In the first round of the championship, the Purple Aces carded a 324 as a team placing Evansville eighth in the nine-team field. The Aces responded in the second round with a 16-stroke improvement, recording a 308 to move UE up a spot to seventh after the opening day. Bradley holds the lead after the first day as the Braves tallied a two-round total of 587 (298 – 289) giving Bradley a 19-stroke lead over second-place Illinois State.

Sophomore Cameron Weyer led the Evansville contingent, closing the opening day in a tie for 23rd. Weyer began the day with a first-round 82 before tying his third-best round of the year with a one-over 73 in the second round.

The second-lowest score by a Purple Ace on the first day was tallied by senior Tyler Gray. Like Weyer, Gray opened the championship with an 82 in the first round, but responded with a 76 in the second round, placing Gray in 28th. Just one stroke behind Gray is freshman Spencer Wagner, who recorded an 81 in the first round followed by a 78 to close the day in the second round, giving Wagner a two-round-total of 159.

Continuing the string of Aces one stroke off of one another is sophomore, Matthew Ladd. The Evansville native led UE after the first round with a team-best round of 79 before rounding out the first day with an 81, putting Ladd in a tie for 31st.

Remaining consistent in the opening two rounds was junior Noah Reese. Carding an 82 in the first round, Reese improved by one stroke in the second round with an 81 as the junior finished the opening day in a tie for 40th.

The 2018 MVC Championship comes to a close on Tuesday with the final round of competition with teams teeing-off at 8 a.m. at Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

ACLU, Planned Parenthood Sue Over Abortion Complications Reporting Law

0

OLIVIA COVINGTON FOR WWW.THEINDIANALAWYER.COM

Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky is once again challenging an Indiana abortion law it says is “a cruel intimidation tactic,” this time taking aim at a 2018 piece of legislation that was signed into law less than a month ago.

The American Civil Liberties Union and ACLU of Indiana on Monday filed Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, Inc. v. Commissioner, Indiana State Dept. of Health, et al, 1:18-cv-1219, on behalf of PPINK in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The suit challenges Senate Enrolled Act 340, which takes effect July 1 and requires abortion providers such as PPINK to report “all abortion complications.” The legislation — which Gov. Eric Holcomb signed into law March 25 — also creates new inspection requirements for abortion clinics that are not imposed on other medical facilities.

“Once again, Indiana politicians are barging into the exam room with irrational demands and intrusive requirements,” ACLU of Indiana executive director Jane Henegar said in a Monday statement. “Indiana politicians are in a race to be the most extreme in the nation as they find new and reprehensible ways to block women from getting abortions and shame and punish those who do so.”

Under Indiana Code section 16-34-2-4.7(a), reportable “abortion complications” can include any one of 26 medical conditions, such as uterine or cervical perforation, blood clots, shock or coma, among others. The law requires hospitals, physicians and licensed abortion clinics to report these conditions to the Indiana State Department of Health, which will then aggregate the data and submit it to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for inclusion in the annual Vital Statistics Report.

But PPINK’s complaint argues the phrase “abortion complications” is unconstitutionally vague and in violation of 14th Amendment due process protections. The organization also argues the law will impose “unique and burdensome” obligations on abortion-related issues in violation of the Equal Protection Clause.

“Despite the fact that abortions have been repeatedly recognized as safe with minimal adverse side effects, on information and belief, there are no other Indiana laws or regulations that impose comparable reporting requirements on physicians and health care facilities following procedures other than abortions, even though there is a much greater chance that many of the potential complications listed will occur with procedures other than abortions,” ACLU of Indiana legal director Ken Falk wrote in the complaint.

Similarly, PPINK’s complaint alleges SEA 340’s requirement that all abortion clinics be inspected annually is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause because “there are no similar statues requiring an annual inspection of hospitals and ambulatory outpatient surgery centers.”

“At Planned Parenthood, patient safety is our top priority,” PPINK President and CEO Christie Gillespie said in a statement. “SEA 340 is not about patient safety. Abortion care is already incredibly safe.

The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that SEA 340’s provisions are unconstitutional and a preliminary injunction against I.C. sections 16-21-2-2.6 and 16-34-2-4.7(a) (eff. July 1, 2018), as well as costs and attorneys’ fees.

SEA 340 was drafted this year by Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Markle, who could not immediately be reached for comment. Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill’s office, which will represent the state in the litigation, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Monday’s complaint comes less than one week after the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a victory to PPINK in similar litigation, Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, Inc., et al. v. Commissioner of the Indiana State Department of Health, et al., 17-3163. After hearing oral argument in that case in February, the circuit panel struck down House Enrolled Act 1337, which prohibited a woman from terminating her pregnancy because of gender, race or disability.

Senior Judge Daniel Manion dissented from the majority’s April 19 decision, writing that though precedent required the panel to uphold a lower court decision to strike HEA 1337, the U.S. Supreme Court should revisit its abortion precedent, including Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, 153 (1973).

Governor Signs Bill that Holds Habitual Offenders Fully Accountable for Out of State Criminal History

0

Indiana Prosecutors applauded the signing today by Governor Eric Holcomb of HB 1033, a bill that allows courts to consider the full weight of out of state convictions for murder and other high level felonies in sentencing for habitual offenders. The bill was sponsored in the Indiana House by Reps. Thomas Washburne and Ryan Dvorak. Senate sponsors were Sens. Eric Koch and Joseph Zakas.

Hancock County Prosecutor Brent Eaton said, “I am grateful that IPAC could work with the General Assembly and Governor Holcomb to enact this change in the law which will help prosecutors around the State of Indiana hold repeat felony offenders accountable.  This change will help prosecutors to keep our communities safe by giving us a tool we can use to seek enhanced sentences when we encounter defendants whose criminal history extends outside of Indiana.”

Hendricks County Prosecutor Patricia Baldwin thanked Governor Holcomb for his support, as well as the bill’s House authors and Senate sponsors, and said, “This bill makes clear when we can use prior convictions for murder and other violent offenses to appropriately sentence repeat offenders when their prior criminal activity was out of state.”

AG Curtis Hill leads 15-state coalition seeking dismissal of lawsuit against energy and manufacturing companies

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill announced today that Indiana is leading a 15-state coalition in support of a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the cities of San Francisco and Oakland against various energy and manufacturing companies. Indiana is joined by Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming in the amicus brief.

Attorney General Hill issued the following statement regarding the matter:

“California localities cannot dictate national energy policy or curb economic activity that occurs outside California. Unfortunately, we have seen a trend of certain states drifting farther and farther away from real America. This is just the most recent example.

“We will let our amicus brief speak for itself at the courthouse. However, this matter should be dismissed because the suit filed by California municipalities is not about the law; rather, it is about circumventing separations of power and using California judges as the arbiters of national energy policy. New York City and various Colorado municipalities have filed copycat actions.

“While today California cities sue energy manufacturers to make up for massive deficits, tomorrow we could see suits against other job creators.

“Our amicus brief should send a loud message that the rest of the nation will not stand idle while California tries to become its own regulatory empire.”

Aces Baseball falls in rubber match with Valparaiso

0

The University of Evansville had a chance to take their first Missouri Valley Conference series of the season Sunday afternoon at Braun Stadium. However, Valparaiso had a similar idea, and they managed to come away with 6-1 series-clinching victory.

Sophomore reliever Nathan Croner (0-2) was pressed into the start on the hill. However, the Crusaders cashed in a pair of runs on the southpaw and loaded up the bases before he could register the second out of the opening frame. Freshman Jace Burke, who pitched a sharp ninth inning in Saturday’s 9-8 win, earning a save, came in and put out the fire.

In the top of the second, Burke ran into similar problems, uncorking a wild pitch, allowing another Valparaiso run to tally, putting the Purple Aces in a 3-0 hole.

In the bottom of the frame, senior catcher Andrew Tanous launched his fourth home run of the season over the left field fence, drawing the Aces closer at 3-1.

However, that’s all the Evansville offense could muster, as Valparaiso starter Wes Gordon (1-4) combined with reliever Hayden Kissee to keep UE off the scoreboard the rest of the games, as UE fell, 6-1.

The loss drops the Aces to 7-26 and 1-8 in the MVC, while the Crusaders improved to 14-20 and 4-5 in league play.

Evansville is back in action Wednesday, as they play host to their crosstown rivals from the University of Southern Indiana. First pitch from Charles H. Braun Stadium is at 6 p.m.
