Eagles lose lead, fall in five to UW-Parkside

0

University of Southern Indiana Volleyball saw a two-set lead slip away Saturday as it suffered an 18-25, 22-25, 25-18, 25-19, 15-9 Great Lakes Valley Conference setback to visiting University of Wisconsin-Parkside at the Physical Activities Center.

The Screaming Eagles (3-9, 1-3 GLVC) jumped out to a commanding 19-9 lead in the opening set and held on for a seven-point victory before rallying from six down to upend the Rangers (5-7, 3-1 GLVC) in the second stanza. USI outscored UW-Parkside, 11-4, in the final 15 rallies of set 2 to grab the three-point win and 2-0 lead in the match.

UW-Parkside (5-7, 3-1 GLVC) outdistanced the Eagles following the intermission as it used a 16-5 run and a .345 attacking percentage to grab a seven-point triumph in the third set. The Rangers outscored USI 9-3 in the final 12 volleys of the fourth frame to break a 16-16 stalemate and even the match at 2-2.

In the decisive set, USI was limited to just five kills and a .000 attacking percentage as the Rangers surged into a 10-5 advantage. The Eagles trimmed the deficit to 12-9, but the Rangers won the final three points to earn the six-point, match-clinching victory.

Senior libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana) had 28 digs to lead the Eagles back row, while sophomore outside hitter Mikaila Humphrey (Floyd Knobs, Indiana) had a double-double with 10 kills and 10 digs.

Freshman setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) also tallied a double-double with 35 assists and 11 digs, while sophomore middle hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) had 12 kills, a .296 attacking percentage and four blocks.

USI concludes its four-match homestand Tuesday at 7 p.m. when it hosts Bellarmine University at the PAC. The Knights (10-2, 1-2 GLVC) were idle Saturday after falling at home to UW-Parkside in four sets Friday night.

Women’s Hospital, Ford Center Introduce New Breastfeeding Pod

Women’s Hospital, Ford Center Introduce New Breastfeeding Pod

SEPTEMBER 24th, 2017  BRITNEY TAYLOR EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

 The Women’s Hospital and the Ford Center team up for the grand opening of a new infant feeding space in Evansville. Mamava Suite will give parents a private space to feed their babies. Lactating mothers can also use it for pumping.

These types of suites are becoming more common in airports, convention centers, and college campuses across the country.

The suite is a portable pod, and also contains a changing table and outlets to plug in a breast pump.

Chris Ryan, CEO of Deaconess Women’s Hospital, said “It’s hard enough to go back to work after you have a baby. You go through that emotional detachment, but then when you’re breast feeding, and that’s what we want to continue to encourage, it is even more difficult if you don’t have a place to pump or to breast feed in general.”

Parents will be able to use the Mamava Suite beginning next Thursday for the Thomas Rhett concert.

LOVING TRUMP’S UN SPEECH

LOVING TRUMP’S UN SPEECH

Making Sense by Michael Reagan

Donald Trump’s speech to the United Nations on Tuesday was not just great, it was totally refreshing.

The president’s address to the U.N. General Assembly was so perfect it almost made me forget all the horrible speeches his predecessor gave to that corrupt, bloated and anti-American body.

For the first time in eight years the world saw an American president not spending half his time apologizing to the U.N. for our country’s past, present and future.

President Obama’s U.N. speeches always managed to make it sound like the United States was no different from Iran and North Korea.

He’d say we’re going to stop their evil, and we’re also going to stop our evil, as if there was a moral equivalency between us and those inhuman hellholes.

On Tuesday President Trump did not pussyfoot around or ignore the obvious threats the rogue regimes of North Korea and Iran pose to a peaceful planet.

He blasted both countries, calling them out for violating “every principle on which the United Nations is based. They respect neither their own citizens nor the sovereign rights of their countries.

“If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few,” Trump said, “then evil will triumph. When decent people and nations become bystanders to history, the forces of destruction only gather power and strength.”

Trump, being Trump, also said what needed to be said about North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong Un and his missile program.

Liberals and the media went ballistic over Trump branding Un as the “Rocket Man.”

As usual, the media, which themselves have called Un every name in the book, missed the strengths of Trump’s speech and concentrated on what they thought was a politically incorrect gaffe or a presidential goof.

But “Rocket Man” was brilliant. It was a way to mock and insult Un while giving him a public warning that if the U.S. is “forced to defend itself or its allies … we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.”

The president got his U.N. speech 100 percent right. Unlike President Obama, who blamed America first, Trump always puts America first.

He and his speechwriters also deftly explained to his unfriendly audience what he meant by “America First.”

He said as president of the United States he will always put his country’s interests first, just as each of them would put their country’s interests first.

The U.N. rank and file apparently couldn’t understand that idea, unfortunately, because most of them routinely put themselves first, not their own countries.

Listening to President Trump speak to the U.N. on Tuesday was a real treat — like listening to an American Bibi Netanyahu.

Bibi himself recognized the resemblance, which is why the Israeli leader tweeted his praise for Mr. Trump:

“In over 30 years in my experience with the U.N., I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech.”

Bibi knows the U.N. and how to address it and its gaggle of bureaucrats and professional America-haters.

When the Israeli leader goes before them he always tells them exactly what they need to hear, but there’s one problem –no one ever listens.

It’d be really nice if the U.N. people were listening this time to Trump.

It’d be nice if they’d react positively to his call for the U.N. to do what it was founded to do ‒ defend the sovereignty, security and prosperity of all peaceful countries and stand together against rogue nations like North Korea and Iran.

But unfortunately, in the real world probably half of the U.N. people who come to New York are not coming to work for world peace and greater prosperity.

They’re coming to see their mistresses and rack up hundreds of unpaid parking tickets.

AG Curtis Hill Announces Investigation Into Equifax Breach

0

Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill sent a letter Friday to attorneys representing Equifax announcing that his office is launching an investigation into the Equifax data breach affecting 3.8 million Indiana residents. The company divulged Sept. 7 that Equifax officials discovered in July that its data systems were compromised via a cyberattack against the company, exposing the personal financial data of more than 140 million Americans.

“It is imperative that Equifax cooperate fully with all State and Federal authorities to provide verifiable information that will lead to the identification, apprehension, conviction and disruption of the criminals, terrorists, individuals and/or organizations responsible for this attack,” Hill wrote in the letter. “We will pursue all penalties and remedies available under the law on behalf of our citizens. We expect the full cooperation of Equifax in providing information on the inception and duration of the breach, the security protocols in place during the breach and the conduct of Equifax following the discovery of the breach.”

EARTHQUAKE WARNING

Protect yourself from identity theft by Wend McNamara

0
Recently, Equifax, one of the largest consumer credit reporting agencies, announced a cyberattack against its servers compromised the personal customer information of approximately 140 million Americans. The hacked information includes names, addresses, birthdates, Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers. It is estimated that 3.8 million Indiana residents were impacted by this data breach.

To help protect your identity, the Indiana Attorney General’s office has a website that allows Hoosiers to conveniently request a free credit freeze. Placing a freeze on your credit blocks an identity thief from opening a new account or obtaining credit in your name and prevents new creditors from accessing your credit report without your permission.

Equifax also set up www.equifaxsecurity2017.com to allow individuals to check if they have been affected by this data breach and sign up to receive free credit monitoring.
