Indiana law firms rate high on national LGBTQ survey

0

Il for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Human Rights Campaign’s 2018 Corporate Equality Index includes several Indiana law firms that are identified as advancing policies and practices to protect LGBTQ workers.

Released today, the 2018 index measures how equitably large private businesses in the United States treat their lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees, consumers and investors. The CEI rates companies and law firms on criteria falling under the broad categories of non-discrimination policies, employment benefits, demonstrated competency and accountability for LGBTQ inclusion, public commitment to LGBTQ equality, and responsible citizenship.

“The highly competitive legal field continues to be the sector with the largest number of top-rated employers in the Corporate Equality Index,” said Deena Fidas, director of the HRC Foundation’s Workplace Equality Program. “Law firm leaders know that LGBTQ inclusion is absolutely essential in attracting and retaining top attorneys and staff.”

A number of law firms with Indiana ties earned a score of 100, indicating they satisfied all the inclusion criteria. They are: Faegre Baker Daniels, Frost Brown Todd LLC, Hinshaw & Culbertson, Littler Mendelson PC, Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart, and Quarles & Brady LLP.

Two other Indiana firms — Barnes & Thornburg LLP and Ice Miller LLP — earned a score of 85.

Evansville Loyola MVC Tournament Recap

0
The University of Evansville men’s soccer team got just a single goal, but that’s all it needed, as the Purple Aces knocked off fourth seeded Loyola 1-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament quarterfinals in Peoria, Ill. Wednesday.

After playing to a scoreless stand-off in the opening half, the Aces offense began to pick up steam, with several opportunities just missing the frame. The lone tally of the game came off the foot of senior midfielder Ian McGrath (New Lenox, Ill), who was set up beautifully by junior Zac Blaydes (Midway, Ky.) and  redshirt freshman Trevor Baum (Keller, Tex.). It was McGrath’s 6th goal of the season. The New Lenox, Illinois native has scored goals in the Aces last three tournament matches going back to last year.

The final 30 minutes saw Evansville hang on for dear life, as the Ramblers threw everything but the kitchen sink at senior goalkeeper Matthew Keller (Carmel, Ind.) and the UE defense. In all, Keller faced 15 shots, three on goal while turning in his second straight clean sheet.

The Aces improve to 11-8 and 1 on the season, while Loyola season ends with a record of 7-8 and 3.

Up next for Evansville is a semifinal showdown with top seeded Missouri State. The Bears edged the Aces in the regular season, 1-0 on September 23 in Springfield. Kick-off from Shea Stadium in Peoria is at 3 pm Friday afternoon

Indiana Job Growth Strong In 2017

0

INDIANAPOLIS – Government officials, including Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger and Indiana Senate President Pro Tem David Long, R-Fort Wayne, applauded Gov. Eric Holcomb’s agenda, which they said delivered job growth to the state.

“I applaud the governor for bringing an aggressive and well-thought-out agenda to the table. The Senate continues to believe that workforce development is a critical issue for our state, and the governor’s agenda reflects that priority,” Long said in a statement after Holcomb released his 2018 agenda.

Schellinger, speaking Wednesday before the governor announced his agenda, said that job growth has been strong this year. So far, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation has secured 270 business and industry commitments to grow or locate in Indiana, creating 28,846 new positions at an average wage of $27.38.

“We rank number three in the country for our infrastructure and this is before the governor implements his Next Level growth plan at which time we will leave all of America in our rearview mirror,” Schellinger said.

However, there were some job losses. For example, Eli Lilly announced it was cutting 2,300 jobs by the end of the year and manufacturers Carrier and Rexnord have both trimmed employment.

Current IEDC trends show:

  • In the manufacturing field, 126 manufacturers have committed to growing in Indiana, together planning more than $5.2 billion in  investment which will create up to 10,259 jobs,
  • In the technology field, the IEDC has secured 58 commitments for tech firms with plans to create 6,924 high-wage Hoosier jobs,
  • In logistics, companies have committed to invest more than $343 million and create up to 2,848 jobs,
  • In international investment, 34 foreign-based companies have committed to grow in Indiana and invest more than $1 billion in the state and create up to 5,230 new jobs, and
  • In small business, the Indiana Small Business Development Center has assisted in 222 new businesses and the creation of 687 new jobs just this year.

Vectren Installing Fiber Optic Wire On Vanderburgh County Transmission Lines Via Helicopte

0

Crews working for Vectren will soon begin work on a project to replace existing steel static wire running along transmission lines in Vanderburgh County, which is intended to expand communication capability between existing electric substations and improve data collection and system performance in Vectren’s transmission system. A helicopter will suspend a two-man crew in the air to complete work on the segment of the transmission line. The project will consist of replacing approximately eight miles of cable running along the north side of Evansville, N. First Avenue and ending on the west side of Evansville. This project will begin the week of Nov. 13 and is expected to last through the end of November.

“We will now be able to interconnect instantly with our transmission lines where we’ve traditionally relied on land lines and mobile devices,” said Brad Ellsworth, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana-South. “Making such enhancements to our technology in the field helps further improve the service our customers receive.”

Enhancing the older steel wire with new fiber optic static cable allows for more prompt, efficient communication between substations when electric service lines are out or malfunctioning and provides real-time two-way communication back to Vectren’s control centers from the field. Using helicopter assistance reduces impact to residential and commercial properties that lie within the project’s path.

Additional benefits customers can expect from the fiber optic wire replacement projects include:

  • Faster outage restoration, through real-time identification of equipment issues and outages
  • Improved overall power quality and reliability
  • Enhanced capabilities for physical and cyber security of assets within the Vectren South system

This project is part of the company’s seven-year improvement plan to enhance reliability and modernize our electric infrastructure. The plan, part of the company’s Smart Energy Future strategy, includes upgrades to portions of Vectren’s network of substations, transmission and distribution networks that serve seven counties in southwestern Indiana. The plan features more than 800 projects and is estimated to cost $450 million over the plan’s seven-year period. Customers can learn more about Vectren’s grid modernization plan a
