Aces fall to Braves by a 3-0 final 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Freshman Adeline Payne notched 12 kills to lead the University of Evansville volleyball team in a 3-0 loss to Bradley on Friday night at Renaissance Coliseum.

Payne led the Purple Aces (10-19, 4-13 MVC) with her kill tally while Rocio Fortuny notched 11.  Allana McInnis had a solid night with 30 assists and eight digs while Mildrelis Rodriguez had a team-best 16 digs.  Erica Haslag was the top performer for the Braves (10-21, 3-14 MVC) as she totaled 20 kills.  Hannah Angeli led the way with 41 assists.

Bradley took control early in game one, scoring the opening four points before winning by a final of 25-21.  Evansville did not give up despite its early deficit as a Cathy Schreiber kill got the Aces within one at 8-7.  That was the first of four times UE got within just a tally, but each time, Bradley had the answer, pushing their lead back up to as many as six points before winning by four.

UE looked to rebound in game two as Adeline Payne gave the team a 3-1 advantage.  The Braves came back with a 4-1 stretch to take their first advantage at 5-4.  A bad set by Bradley gave Evansville a 7-6 lead and the team was able to hold the advantage until a Hanna Alexander service ace put BU back in front, 17-16.

Payne notched another kill to put the Aces back in front by a 21-20 score, before the squads swapped the lead.  Evansville had set point when a Gabriela Dos Santos service ace put UE up 24-23, but Bradley was able to wrestle away the second set, 26-24.

Erica Haslag set the Braves on a 3-0 run to begin the third frame and they held onto that lead until the Aces made a furious rally to knot the score at 11-11.  After Bradley retook the lead, an error gave Evansville a late 21-20 advantage.  The teams fought to a 23-23 tie when Bradley was able to clinch the match with the final two tallies, taking a 25-23 victory.

Tomorrow, the season comes to an and for the Purple Aces as they head to Normal, Ill. to take on Illinois State at 7 p.m.

 

New Device Eliminates The Pain Of Opioid Withdrawal

INDIANAPOLIS – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a neurological device that could help those suffering from opioid withdrawal symptoms.

“This is something, I think, will revolutionize the country in the way of addiction and the epidemic in our world,” said Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis.

The NSS-2 BRIDGE, was created by Innovative Health Solutions, an Indiana medical technology company. The device would be installed behind the ear in the three places, like an acupuncture device, and it would send messages to the brain eliminating pain. A research study has shown that the device has led to an 84.6 percent reduction of withdrawal symptoms in as little as 60 minutes.

“Significantly reducing withdrawal symptoms lessens the dependency on opioids, allows for easier transition to medically assisted treatment and ultimately works as another tool to combat the opioid epidemic facing our country,” Brian Carrico, president of Innovative Health Solutions said in a statement.

Symptoms of opioid withdrawal include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anxiety and sleeplessness. These symptoms can be so severe that people often turn back to opioids within a few hours.

“One of the reasons why people sometimes go through detox 20 times and not succeed is because of the incredible pain,” Merritt said.

The device is worn for five days, and then patients will receive a shot of Naltrexone or Vivitrol and enter into some form of recovery or counseling.

“This device will be the future of recovery,” said Merritt.

This device will be prescription only, but will cost much less than traditional medical treatments.

With the FDA clearance, doctors will be able to prescribe the BRIDGE device to patients in withdrawal as well as those suffering from post-acute withdrawal symptoms. The device will be eligible for insurance coverage as soon as states and commercial carriers adopt the technology.

Merritt sees a lot of potential uses for the BRIDGE device in methadone clinics as well as doctors’ offices for those who suffer ailments such as fibromyalgia.

“This has so much potential for our world that it’s just exciting that people will not have to use opioids to be pain free,” Merritt said.

Merritt has proposed bills for the 2018 legislative session that would impose stiffer penalties for drug dealers including a 10-year mandatory minimum for those dealing fentanyl, a powerful opioid.

Attorney General Curtis Hill Joins Other States In Urging U.S. Supreme Court To Protect Public Prayer At Government Functions

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill, as part of a 22-state coalition, is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to protect the practice of lawmaker-led prayer at public meetings.

The coalition filed a brief Wednesday afternoon asking the Supreme Court to hear arguments and confirm the constitutionality of the practice following an adverse ruling by a federal appeals court stemming from a North Carolina case. A follow-up ruling by the Supreme Court would clear confusion among the lower courts and, the coalition hopes, strike down the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, which could negatively affect free exercise of religion in Indiana and other states.

“The First Amendment was never intended to prohibit elected officials from praying aloud at official government functions,” Attorney General Hill said. “Our tradition of liberty in America has always promoted and protected the free exercise of religion rather than stifle it.”

The coalition argues that lawmaker-led prayer is woven into the fabric of American society and is fully consistent with the Constitution. The coalition notes that non-coercive expressions of faith in the public sector have long characterized official public proceedings in the United States. The brief further cites numerous examples nationwide of states, counties and municipalities that open meetings with prayers by government officials.

The North Carolina case, Lund vs. Rowan County, focuses on a tradition among county commissioners of opening meetings with prayers offered by one of the commissioners. The coalition’s friend-of-the-court brief is filed in support of Rowan County.

Indiana filed its brief in support of free expression of faith along with West Virginia, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin, along with the Governor of Kentucky.
