Montreal, May 16, 2016 – The new Cirque du Soleil touring show inspired by James Cameron’s record- breaking movie AVATAR, TORUK – The First Flight, will be presented at Ford Center from September 1- 4, as part of a global tour in arenas around the world. The show is presented by Visa Signature®.

The show
Inspired by James Cameron’s AVATAR, TORUK – The First Flight transports you to the world of Pandora in a visually stunning live setting. Experience a storytelling odyssey through a new world of imagination, discovery, and possibility.

Through a riveting fusion of cutting-edge visuals, puppetry and stagecraft buoyed by a soaring cinematic score, Cirque du Soleil applies its unique signature style to James Cameron’s imaginary world and “makes the bond” between two kindred artistic visions that capture the imagination.

This live immersive experience also bears the distinct signature of directors and multimedia innovators Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon. It is a living ode to the Na’vi’s symbiotic coexistence with nature and their belief in the basic interconnectedness of all living things.

Narrated by a “Na’vi Storyteller” and populated by unforgettable characters, TORUK – The First Flight is a mythical tale set thousands of years before the events depicted in the film AVATAR, and before any humans ever set foot on Pandora.

When a natural catastrophe threatens to destroy the sacred Tree of Souls, Ralu and Entu, two Omaticaya boys on the brink of adulthood, fearlessly decide to take matters into their own hands. Upon learning that Toruk can help them save the Tree of Souls, they set out, together with their newfound

friend Tsyal, on a quest high up in the Floating Mountains to find the mighty red and orange predator that rules the Pandoran sky. Prophecy is fulfilled when a pure soul rises among the clans to ride Toruk for the first time and save the Na’vi from a terrible fate.

Parr was one of the top players for UE

 ST LOUIS – Fourteen conference softball student-athletes have been named to the 2016 MVC Scholar-Athlete first team, including ten repeat selections, as voted on by the league’s softball sports information directors and announced by the Missouri Valley Conference office today.

Representing the University of Evansville was junior Chandra Parr, who was named an Honorable Mention.

One of the most dependable players in the MVC lived up to that bill in 2016.  She finished the season second on the team with a .300 average and bumped that up to .308 in MVC games.  She showed solid power, ranking second on the squad with six home runs and 23 RBIs.

Her top offensive effort came in an 11-1 win over Chattanooga as she went 3-4 with two doubles and four RBIs.  She belted two home runs in a series-clinching 7-4 win at Illinois State and also made a difference with a long ball in the series winner at Indiana State.  Parr was also named an MVC Scholar-Athlete Honorable Mention a season ago.  The Accounting major has a 3.58 GPA.

In order to be eligible, student-athletes must have at 3.2 GPA or higher, be at least a sophomore in athletic and academic standing and meet certain playing requirements.

Appraiser has no duty of care to real estate seller

0

Scott Roberts for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled an appraiser has no duty of care to a seller after he appraised a house for much less than the proposed purchase price. The COA upheld summary judgment for the appraiser in a case where the seller alleged negligence, fraud and slander of title.

BSA Construction LLC entered into an agreement to sell residential real estate to Lilia Lopez. Lopez received financing from Bank of America pending a final appraisal, which was done by Jimmie Johnson of LandSafe. The purchase price was agreed at $60,000 but Johnson only appraised the property for $50,000, and thus Bank of America denied financing. BSA appealed the bank’s decision but the bank upheld it.

BSA then filed suit against Johnson in Hendricks County, and the case was transferred to Marion County. Johnson filed for summary judgment and moved to strike numerous evidentiary items BSA had designated. The court granted the motion to strike and summary judgment, and BSA appealed.

BSA claimed Johnson owed them a duty of care on negligence principles, but the COA disagreed, saying Johnson’s duty of care was to the bank that hired him, not BSA. “In an arms-length transaction like the one here, we cannot conclude that Johnson had any duty to serve two masters with conflicting interests. Whether Johnson was bound by or aware of the code of ethics of a professional association, or knew that a poor appraisal might be associated with the real estate for some period of time, does not change the fundamental arrangement of the duties at issue here,” Judge L. Mark Bailey wrote for the panel. “Johnson’s duty was to the bank and as a matter of law cannot — because of the contradictory interests at issue — have extended to BSA.”

BSA also claimed Johnson’s appraisal amounted to fraud, but Bailey wrote that BSA never took any action after the appraisal after Johnson was appointed and the risk of an unfavorable appraisal was already known to BSA.

Finally, BSA claimed slander of title, but Johnson did not affect BSA’s ownership of the property, just the monetary value.

The case is BSA Construction LLC v. Jimmie E. Johnson, 49A02-1506-CT-749.
