Students will experiment with counterweights, adjust the arm recoil or the height of the flight deck, determine which travels farther (a marshmallow or a piece of macaroni), or turn cranks, a winding drum, or hoist rope to learn lessons on pendulums and the effects of energy and motion. - Creation Station
Your child can experience the feeling of their own DIY projects. We will complete 5 different imaginative projects during this week. We will paint a terracotta pot and plant your own flower, create their name out of cardboard and cover with fabric to make a great wall hanging in their bedroom, and make a piece of art out of melted crayons.

Appellate pleadings, motions will be online within 60 days
Scott Roberts for www.theindianalawyer.com
The Indiana Supreme Court task force created to look into remote access and privacy of electronic records has decided appellate pleadings and motions filed by attorneys will be put online at mycase.in.gov sometime within the next 60 days.
At its first meeting Feb. 29, the task force decided to put appellate briefs filed by attorneys online April 1, and is moving toward putting most materials online by the end of the year. At its meeting Friday, the task force looked at the accessibility of online court materials in 15 other states, especially the states around Indiana, and determined that the effort is pushing Indiana to the forefront of the nation in terms of accessibility.
“We’ll be one of the most open states in the nation,†Bob Rath, director of Appellate Court Technology, said. “You talk about progress, by the end of this, we’ll be right on the cusp of it.â€
Rath said 80 briefs were online as of Friday, and half of those were e-filed. Sixty-three percent of trial court briefs were also online, he said.
Based on Indiana’s survey of what other states are doing, 12 states put court documents online, 10 put pleadings online, 11 post court orders and eight post appellate briefs. Six of 12 had documents available to the general public.
The task force’s concern about putting appellate pleadings and motions online was the same as putting briefs online: revealing too much personal information about the people filing the motions. However, with the process to put documents online established the first time the task force met, this meeting was not as contentious, and the process was ironed out.
Motions were defined as petitions to transfer, petitions to strike, and petitions to remand, consolidate, stay, redact and compel. Judge Paul Mathias of the Indiana Court of Appeals said that court deals with about 5,000 motions a year.
There were discussions about motions to redact and what to do if a motion to redact is put online. That’s one of reasons why Joel Schumm, professor at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, suggested a warning to those who are filing pleadings and motions that this will appear online. He suggested a check box at the end of the process like other check boxes, but there was concern the text would not be read, just checked.
Fred Cate, professor at IU Maurer School of Law, said he liked the idea of a warning, but thought the check box was pointless.
“Let’s rid the world of another check box,†he said. “The world doesn’t need another check box.â€
It was decided a warning would be put with filings, but because of these concerns, the motion to put pleadings online May 1 was changed to sometime within the next 60 days so the warning could be added to the process.
The next meeting of the panel will be May 6, when the task force will discuss posting trial court orders and judgments. Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush said the challenge with that will be that Indiana does not have a unified court system, so getting all of the individual courts on the same page might be a challenge.
“Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,
The International Men’s March to Stop Rape,Â
Sexual Assault & Gender Violenceâ€
April 12, 2016 at the University of Southern Indiana
Inspired by the old saying, “You can’t understand a person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes,†men will literally walk one mile in women’s high heeled shoes on April 12, 2016 on the University of Southern Indiana campus to protest rape, sexual assault & gender violence. Men, women and children are invited to participate in the Walk planned by Albion Fellows Bacon Center and USI’s Sexual Assault and Gender Violence Prevention Group. Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding, Mayor of Evansville Lloyd Winnecke, Evansville Police Department Chief Billy Bolin, and other men are going to walk in high-heeled shoes to raise awareness about rape.
Registration for the Walk will begin at 5:00 p.m. at Carter Hall on USI’s campus. After the walk, Wedding, Winnecke, and Bolin will pledge with students and community members to make a difference.
The Walk is organized by Albion Fellows Bacon Center and the University of Southern Indiana Sexual Assault/Gender Violence prevention group and sponsored by a number of USI campus organizations, including Fraternity and Sorority Life of USI, USI Student Government Association SOS Grants, and Student Housing Association of USI. Community sponsors include Holly’s House, Fraternal Order of Police #73, Boyd Electric and SouthWest Graphix among others.
A woman is raped every 107 seconds in America, totaling about 293,000 victims per year. Albion Fellows Bacon Center provided sexual assault services to 582 primary and secondary victims in 2015. Albion is a domestic and sexual violence agency and serves as the only rape crisis center in the immediate area. We provide emergency shelter, a 24-hour crisis line, short-term individual crisis counseling, support groups, and legal and medical advocacy to victims, their friends and family. All of the services are free of charge. For more information about this event or how to get involved, please contact Christina Wicks at Albion Fellows Bacon Center, 812-422-9372 or by email at christina.wicks@albionfellowsbacon.org. More information about the national Walk a Mile in Her Shoes: The International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence can be found on the internet at www.walkamileinhershoes.org.

UE hits the road again to take on Murray State
EVANSVILLE – After picking up a series victory in the first conference weekend of the year, the University of Evansville baseball team will be back in non-conference action on Tuesday as the Purple Aces set out for Murray State.
The Aces (17-13) are coming off back-to-back wins over Wichita State this past weekend, and much like those two contests, UE will be depending on freshman starting pitching once again on Tuesday as Austin Allinger will be looking to repeat the kind of performances that the Aces got out of Brandon Gomer and Alex Weigand against the Shockers.
Allinger, who is 3-2 this season, will be making his seventh start of the season. The right-hander owns a 5.35 earned run average over 35.1 innings of work with 22 strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the Aces line-up will be hoping to maintain its torrid pace in yet another midweek contest. UE enters the game averaging 7.2 runs per game while hitting .292 with 31 home runs, which is already the best single-season total for a UE team since 2010. Jonathan Ramon and his team leading nine homers, leads the team in runs batted in with 33, while Trey Hair is the top hitter in the Missouri Valley Conference with a .414 batting average.
Murray State, on the other hand, will be looking to get back on track after dropping two out of three to Jacksonville State in Ohio Valley action this past week. The Racers (16-19) are the fourth OVC opponent that the Aces have faced this season, which includes a series win with Eastern Kentucky, a split with SIUE and a 29-10 blowout of UT Martin.
First pitch on Tuesday is slated for 6 p.m. at Reagan Field.
NOTES: Since 1978, UE is 28-10 against Murray State … Last season, the Aces won both meetings between the two teams, taking home a 15-2 decision in Evansville before grabbing an 11-10 victory in Murray … The first meeting between UE and MSU dates all the way back to a 6-3 victory for the Aces in 1925 … Since 1978, the Aces are 112-86-2 against schools from the state of Kentucky, which includes a 2-2 mark this season.
