Lockheed Martin Teams with Purdue, New Mexico State and New Mexico Tech for Sandia Competition

Leading Universities Bring World-Class Expertise in R&D, Tech Transfer

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 25, 2016 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has named a national research university and a consortium of New Mexico universities to its team competing for the Sandia National Laboratories Management and Operating contract. Purdue University, New Mexico State University and the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will play key roles in Sandia’s specialized research and development and technology transfer initiatives.

Each university will provide expert personnel and facilities to advance Sandia’s dynamic research and development programs, which are on the cutting edge of nuclear deterrence, cyber security, energy technologies, non-proliferation and advanced computing. In addition, the new team arrangements will allow students and faculty from the universities to interact more strategically at Sandia to promote collaboration, innovation and talent development.

“Sandia’s hallmark is nationwide impact coupled with strong New Mexico roots, and we’ve built a team that reflects that character while positioning the Labs to meet the needs of a dynamic national security environment,” said Rick Ambrose, chair of the Sandia Corporation board of directors and executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Space Systems. “Our goal is to help the National Nuclear Security Administration further solidify Sandia’s role as a national asset by bringing in even stronger R&D partnerships, improving the national security talent pipeline and sparking small business growth through a robust commercialization program.”

Purdue will lead technology transfer initiatives for Sandia, partnering with national and New Mexico-based start-ups and entrepreneurs to license technology for commercial use. Purdue’s Research Foundation and Purdue Foundry operate one of the most comprehensive technology transfer programs among leading research universities in the U.S.

“Our missions in research, education and service align extremely well with those of Sandia and our partners in conducting work in the national public interest,” said Mitch Daniels, president of Purdue University. “The excellence of the partner researchers in areas of importance to national security combined with Purdue’s expertise in technology transfer make this a team without equal.”

“As a higher education institution in New Mexico, New Mexico State University is excited to be part of the Lockheed Martin team and continue its support of Sandia and the Department of Energy by leveraging our excellent educational, research, and technology transfer and commercialization programs,” said Dr. Vimal Chaitanya, NMSU vice president for research. “NMSU has been a part of the fabric of Sandia for decades, as more than 25 percent of Sandia employees have received at least one degree from NMSU.”

“This is a great opportunity for New Mexico Tech to work even more closely with Sandia,” said Dr. Van Romero, New Mexico Tech’s chief operating officer and vice president for research and economic development. “We have a long history with Sandia, and have developed programs, both academically and in our research, specifically to support Sandia over the years. This bid presents an opportunity to take our work with Sandia to the next level.”

Since 1993, Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, has served as the Management and Operating contractor for the Labs, in support of the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration. Sandia is currently meeting scope, schedule and cost requirements on six major engineering design programs supporting the nation’s nuclear deterrence mission and managing an additional $1 billion portfolio of cutting-edge energy and national security programs.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Southern Indiana men’s soccer team is projected to place eighth in the Great Lakes Valley Conference in 2016 in a vote by the league’s 16 head coaches. USI, the all-time leader with 10 GLVC titles, is coming off an eighth-place finish in 2015 after producing an 8-7-3 overall record, and a 6-6-3 GLVC mark.
The Rockhurst University men’s soccer team was tabbed by the league coaches to win the 2016 Championship.  The Hawks received 13 first-place votes and 222 points in the preseason poll. The University of Indianapolis garnered two first-place votes, but fell three points shy Rockhurst with 209 total points. Quincy University and Drury University were picked third and fourth with 199 and 169 total points, respectively. The final first-place vote went to Missouri University of Science & Technology who round out the top five with 166 total points.

The 2016 USI squad is comprised of 31 players – 18 returning players and redshirts and 13 newcomers. The lone senior for the Eagles is midfielder Michael Sass (New Palestine, Indiana)

The top scoring returner for USI is sophomore forward Kasper Bjoro (Oslo, Norway) who was second on the team in 2015 with 13 points on five goals and three assists. Three of Bjoro’s five goals on the year were game winners including his goal in the regular season finale to secure a spot in the 2015 GLVC Tournament. Also returning for the Eagles, junior forward Pedro Castro (Sao José dos Campos, Brazil) recorded eight points in 2015 on three goals and two assists.

The Eagles also return their top goalkeeper from 2015 in junior Adam Zehme (Orland Park, Illinois). Zehme appeared in 12 matches, getting 11 starts earning a 6-4-1 record with five shutouts.

The 16 GLVC men’s soccer teams will compete in a 15-game round-robin schedule during the regular season with the top eight teams earning a berth to the GLVC Championship Tournament. The top four seeds will host quarterfinal matches on campus on October 30 with the four remaining teams heading to Carroll Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana for the semifinals and final on November 4 and 6.

USI opens the 2016 regular season campaign on the road when the Eagles head to Kentucky Wesleyan College for a 7 p.m. showdown of Midwest Region teams.

Adam Wing Inks Deal With Kitchener-Waterloo Titans

Wing to be in training camp in December

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – After being a starter for more than three of his four seasons with the University of Evansville men’s basketball team, Adam Wing will take his career to the next level as he signed a deal with the Kitchener-Waterloo Titans of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC).

“As a kid, the ultimate dream is to say you have played professional basketball,” Wing said.  “It has always been a dream of mine and there will be a day where I can tell my kids and grandkids that I played professional basketball and was healthy enough to do so.”

The Titans enter their first year of play in the NBLC and are one of 10 teams in the league.  Wing will be on the training camp roster when it begins in early December and is competing for a roster spot on the squad going into the regular season.

“My goal was always to come to Evansville and make it to the NCAA Tournament, growing up that was always my goal,” Wing continued.  “My other goal was to continue playing basketball as long as I can.  Coming from Morehead, Ky., there are not many people that get the opportunity to play at the professional sports, so it means a lot to make my home town proud.”

Kitchener-Waterloo is located in the Canadian province of Ontario.  The metropolitan area is just over an hour west of Toronto.

 

NBLC play commences in late December with the playoffs wrapping up in mid-June.

Court Divided Over Stop Of Man In Movie Theater

Court Divided Over Stop Of Man In Movie Theater

Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com

By a 2-1 vote, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed the denial of an Indianapolis man’s motion to suppress a handgun found on him after officers questioned him in a lobby of a movie theater. The majority ruled the officers had no reasonable suspicion to justify the investigatory stop.

Indianapolis police officers Jason Palmer and George Stewart responded to a call from a cab driver who said a passenger dropped a handgun when exiting the cab at Studio Movie Grill. He indicated he was fearful of being robbed, but the driver left the scene before officers arrived. The driver gave a description of a black male wearing a blue jacket who was with a black female with blonde hair.

The officers saw a woman matching that description walk away from Thomas Pinner, who matched the male’s description. The officers approached Pinner, who was alone on a bench in the lobby, told him there was a report of a man with a gun and asked if he had a gun on him. Pinner denied having one, but was hesitant to answer. When officers asked him to stand, Palmer saw a butt of a gun in his front pocket. Pinner was arrested when Palmer discovered he didn’t have a license to carry.

The Class A misdemeanor carrying a handgun without a license charge was elevated to a Level 5 felony due to a prior commission of a felony. Pinner filed a motion to suppress, and the trial court denied it, finding the officers had reasonable suspicion to approach and question Pinner.

On interlocutory appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed. The majority found it was not a consensual encounter where Pinner would feel free to get up and walk away. Two armed officers did not make small talk and stood in front of him as they asked him questions, Judge Melissa May wrote. This was an investigatory stop, which required reasonable suspicion. Mere possession of a firearm, which is legal, cannot produce a reasonable suspicion to justify a Terry stop, she wrote. The state presented no evidence as to why the police believed Pinner’s possession of the gun was illegal or that other criminal activity was afoot.

Judge Elaine Brown dissented, citing a recent Mississippi case, U.S. v. Scott, 2015 WL 450864 (S.D. Miss. July 24, 2015), which was affirmed by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. In Scott, officers responded to an anonymous tip that drugs were being sold in a specific spot in a high-crime area. Officers saw Scott acting nervously and adjust his waistband. He was told he did not have to leave. When Scott lifted his arms, officers saw a gun in his waistband. The court held a seizure did not occur until the gun was discovered.

But the majority pointed out that Pinner was alone in a movie theater lobby, not acting in any manner consistent with illegal activity. Also, Scott had room to walk away whereas Pinner could only exit by standing and walking between the two officers who had already asked him pointed questions.

The case is Thomas Pinner v. State of Indiana, 49A02-1511-CR-2036.

Dr. Bucshon Helps Host Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson at Crane

1

 

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) –On Tuesday, Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. helped host U.S. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral John Richardson during his first trip to Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division in Crane, Indiana.

The purpose of Admiral Richardson’s visit was to highlight Crane as a world leader in cutting-edge technological development critical to our country’s national defense. NSWC Crane is the third largest U.S. Navy installation in the world and the third largest employer in Southwest Indiana employing approximately 5,000 civilian personnel.

 

“Crane plays a critical role in supporting the best-trained, most well-prepared, and strongest warfighters that make up the U.S. military and it is absolutely critical that we tell Crane’s story,” said Bucshon. “I’m happy to have helped host Admiral Richardson’s first visit and I’m honored to represent the dedicated men and women at Crane.”

Here are some key takeaways from Admiral Richardson’s visit:

·         Congressman Bucshon acknowledged the importance of Admiral Richardson’s visit to Crane: “This is an important visit. I’d like to thank the CNO for being here and seeing the amazing work that’s done here by Hoosiers and the commitment they have to the mission and the warfighters protecting this country.” (Washington Times Herald; 8/24/2016)

·         Admiral Richardson saw firsthand the exceptionalism and dedication of the Hoosier workforce: “This was a great day, not only to see the supreme talent that’s resident here, but also to see the dedication of the people here. They will go to the last molecule of their energy to make our nation safer and to bring our people back safe and sound.” (Washington Times Herald; 8/24/2016)

·         Crane is a national leader in the research and development of cutting-edge technologies:“They [Crane] have a micro-environment of very fast learning, very fast technology improvement and they have found clever ways to make them real here on the Crane facility and then get them into the hands of the warfighters around the world. That’s part of the remarkable thing they do here at Crane; not just the generation of ideas and technology, but the distribution into the hands of our sailors very, very quickly.” (Washington Times Herald; 8/24/2016)

·         Admiral Richardson plans to use Crane as a blueprint to help the Navy streamline the movement of new technologies from the development phase to battle-ready use: “My impression is how do I take what I see here at Crane and scale that up and get the whole Navy to move at that speed.” (Washington Times Herald; 8/24/2016)
