IT IT TRUE AUGUST 16, 2017

9

IS IT TRUE that the often recurring solar eclipse that is coming to the United States is bringing the crazies out of the closets?…a psycho minister named David Meade who believes in the nonsensical practice of numerology is predicting that a fictional planet named Nibiru will crash into the earth and extinguish all life 33 days after the eclipse of 2017?…we are sure that when the doesn’t happen the loony tunes crew will immediately focus on the next eclipse which will happen in 2024?…these dimwits are in the class of fool that Do and Peep of Heaven’s Gate fame were when they conned a bunch of followers into drinking poison in preparation to catch a ride to nirvana on the Hale Bopp Comet?

IS IT TRUE that its being alleged that the best city to view the solar eclipse of 2017 is Hopkinsville, Kentucky?…Hoptown as locals call it has been in the national spotlight before as the location where aliens landed and took some locals for a ride in 1955?…the world can thank Hoptown for the term “little green men” as the reported alien invasion was carried out by such characters?…ask anyone who grew up in Western Kentucky what it meant when one’s grandparents said “you better stop that or the guys in the white wagon are gonna take you to Hopkinsville” means and they will understand that meant a trip to the insane asylum?…perhaps the reverend David Meade will be in Hoptown next week where he belongs?

IS IT TRUE that there are other less ridiculous questions being raised about the impact of the eclipse?…there are some who are saying that the deserts of the southwest that are not even in the path of total eclipse are warning about desert cooling?…these folks must not be aware that there is a time called dusk that happens everyday and has for millenniums without impacting the desert climate?…to expect the scorpions to be cold due to eclipse induced climate change from an eclipse in Oregon ranks right up there with Planet Nibiru for sensationalistic idiocy?…the entire time of total blackout is less than 3 minutes everywhere?…the earth has survived this natural occurrence millions of times and it will survive millions more?…the only constant with respect to eclipses is that it brings out the nut cases among us?

IS IT TRUE we appreciate Saint Vincent Hospital Public Relations Department for sending us news of interest concerning the happenings at their facilities system wide?

Vectren Foundation Commits $100,000 to UE’s Hyde Hall Renovation Project

0

The Vectren Foundation has committed to a gift of $100,000 for the University of Evansville’s Hyde Hall renovation project. The funds will be used to increase the building’s energy efficiency through such upgrades as new heating, ventilation, and cooling systems (HVAC) and new windows.

President of Vectren South Brad Ellsworth noted that energy efficiency and education are two of Vectren’s major areas of interest and that the Hyde Hall renovation project addresses them both.

“Vectren is proud to partner with UE in providing students with an optimal learning environment that is not only more energy efficient, but also quieter and more comfortable,” added Ellsworth. “Energy efficiency is a win for the bottom line of the University too, as a better controlled energy environment will help reduce energy costs as well.”

Hyde Hall is one of the school’s most used buildings. It houses Shanklin Theatre, home of UE’s nationally renowned undergraduate theatre program. The building also contains administrative offices for the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences and other faculty offices, classrooms, and core learning spaces. Construction is anticipated to begin in May 2018 with estimated completion in Fall 2019.

“This wonderful gift from the Vectren Foundation will beneficially impact the lives of UE students for years to come,’ said Abigail Werling, UE vice president of development and alumni relations. “Vectren has a long history of generosity to the community, including the University of Evansville.”

Vectren’s gifts to the University over the years include:

  • A donation to University’s UEnvision campaign, which included upgrades to the Schroeder School of Business Building and construction of Ridgway University Center.
  • Funds to help build a greenhouse on campus.
  • The gift of a long-term lease of conservation land and a partnership with UE to open an outdoor classroom for environmental field study on the site. The area, located on 1,100 acres along the Wabash River, has been named the Vectren Conservation Park, University of Evansville Environmental Research Lab.

University of Evansville Announces Berger Awards for 2017

0

Three University of Evansville professors were honored today – August 15 – with the Sadelle and Sydney Berger Awards for 2017. The awards were presented by Charlie Berger during UE’s Fall Conference. Professor of archaeology Alan Kaiser received the Berger Award for Scholarly Activity, while associate professor of biology Joyce Stamm and associate professor of mathematics Adam Salminen received the Berger Award for Service.

Kaiser teaches courses in Roman and Etruscan archaeology, Roman history and the Latin language. He has conducted training excavations in connection with the archaeological field techniques course. Currently he is director of the University’s Tin City Project, an exploration through aerial photography, excavation and oral interviews of World War II veteran-student campus housing. He has conducted fieldwork in Spain, Italy, Greece, England, and on the Caribbean island of Nevis, as well as in the United States. Kaiser’s published works include scholarly and popular articles as well as three books.

Stamm and Salminen worked together to secure a five-year, $610,600 grant through the National Science Foundation’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program. The largest faculty grant in the University’s history, it funds UE science and math scholarships and provides funds for support services for science and mathematics majors at UE.

In addition, Stamm has been involved in many faculty committees and several University service activities. She is a past chair of the Faculty Senate and has been a member of the Faculty Senate Fiscal Affairs Committee. After the 2017-18 academic year, she will conclude four years on the Senate Executive Committee.

Salminen also serves on many University committees, including the Faculty Athletics Committee and the Mathematics Faculty Search Committee. He also served on the Dean of Arts and Science Search Committee. Currently, he is chair of the Mathematics Department Assessment Committee. Salminen is the UE Math Club faculty advisor and has judged papers for UE’s 2010 and 2011 MESCON events.
