Aces softball sweeps Loyola in doubleheader

0

Regular season comes to a close on Sunday

CHICAGO – A great all-around effort on Saturday saw the University of Evansville softball team earn a doubleheader sweep over Loyola in the final series of the regular season.

Evansville (24-24, 12-13 MVC) took game one by a 4-1 score before wrapping up the day with a 5-3 triumph over the Ramblers (20-28, 4-19 MVC). With the victories, the Aces officially punched their ticket to the MVC Tournament and will fight for seeing tomorrow in the season finale at noon.

“I am really proud of what this team has done this season, they set a goal of making it to the conference tournament and they accomplished that,” UE head coach Mat Mundell said. “As a group, they wanted to change the perception of Aces softball and I think they have done that. They wanted to compete in every game and they have also done that. Their story does not end with just that one goal, it is onto the next goal!”

The Aces offense wasted no time in getting rolling, scoring a run in the top of the first inning in game one on a Hayli Scott single. Loyola tied it up in the third, but the Aces plated two runs in the fifth frame. Chandra Parr reached base via a walk and Morgan Florey took full advantage, belting a home run to right field to help the Aces retake the lead.

Morgan Lambert notched an RBI single in the seventh to give the Aces an insurance run and Florey took care of the rest in the circle as UE took the 4-1 win. Florey went the distance, allowing one run on six hits. Evansville mustered up just four hits in the game, but three of them were RBI knocks.

Game two started off scoreless for the first three innings before Evansville erupted for four runs in the top of the fourth. UE loaded the bases with no outs in the inning and Michal Luckett took full advantage, singling to center to score the first two runs of the game.

With one out, the Aces made it very exciting as a double steal saw Luckett advance to second while Kori Keyes stole home. Bailee Bostic finished off the inning with an RBI single to give UE a 4-0 lead. After the Ramblers scored in the bottom of the 4th frame, Evansville got the run right back as Luckett posted another RBI hit to make it a 5-1 game.

Loyola added a pair of runs in the seventh, but starter Amanda Blankenship was able to finish off the win, pitching the complete game, giving up three runs on eight hits. UE had five hits in the game with Luckett accounting for two of them. She also had three RBI.

On Sunday, the regular season finishes up as UE finishes the 3-game series against the Ramblers with a noon contest.

111 Monument Circle to become Salesforce Tower Indianapolis

Indianapolis – Governor Mike Pence joined Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and executives from Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) today as the company announced plans to significantly expand its regional headquarters in Indianapolis, investing more than $40 million over the next 10 years and creating up to 800 new jobs by 2021. To accommodate its growth, the company will move into a new regional headquarters downtown at 111 Monument Circle, which will be branded as Salesforce Tower Indianapolis.

“Today’s outstanding commitment from Salesforce proves without a doubt that Indiana is now the Midwest hub for technology and innovation,” said Governor Pence. “In recent years, the technology sector has added more than 5,000 jobs in central Indiana alone, growing at a rate more than triple the national average. Global leaders like Salesforce have a world of options to consider for growth, and I am excited that the Salesforce team has once again selected the Hoosier state to create hundreds of high-wage, quality jobs. Powered by a talented workforce and a low-tax, low-regulation business climate, I am confident that this regional headquarters will propel Salesforce to new heights, advancing innovation for years to come.”

The company, which is the world’s fastest growing top 10 software company, will begin moving into Salesforce Tower Indianapolis in early 2017. The new headquarters will house both Salesforce and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, founded as ExactTarget in 2000. Plans for the new office include collaboration spaces, mindfulness areas and social zones. The company also plans to renovate the lobby and create a dedicated space where guests can experience interactive, hands-on demonstrations of the Salesforce Customer Success Platform.

“Salesforce is among Indiana’s largest technology employers, and we’re thrilled to be investing for further growth in Indianapolis,” said Scott McCorkle, chief executive officer of Salesforce Marketing Cloud. “Salesforce Tower Indianapolis, our regional headquarters, will give our employees a fantastic place to work and serve our customers and community every day.”

Salesforce has been named one of Fortune’s Best Places to Work for the past nine years and was recently recognized on the Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s 2016 Best Places to Work in Indiana list. The company was founded in San Francisco 17 years ago, and has been called one of the world’s most innovative companies five years in a row according to Forbes. Salesforce has well over 1,000 employees in the Indianapolis area and more than 20,000 employees worldwide.

The company is committed to supporting Indiana through its 1-1-1 integrated corporate philanthropy model, in which Salesforce’s product, resources and employee time are dedicated to the communities where employees live and work. Today, Salesforce employees in Indiana are committing to deliver 100,000 total employee volunteer hours to local nonprofits this year.

Salesforce is currently hiring and plans to add new positions in both business operations and technology development. Interested applicants should visitwww.salesforce.com/careers for a list of openings.

“I am proud and excited to welcome Salesforce to their future home in the heart of downtown Indianapolis,” said Mayor Joe Hogsett. “Salesforce is a tremendous partner to our city and residents, bringing hundreds of new jobs to the community and solidifying Indianapolis as a leading destination for innovative companies. I want to thank Salesforce for their commitment to grow here and I look forward to their emergent footprint in Indianapolis.”

Salesforce is the sixth largest enterprise software company and the fastest growing top 10 software company in the world today. Over the last 17 years, Salesforce has expanded and redefined CRM, bringing social, mobile, data science and IoT technologies to its trusted cloud platform, enabling companies to grow sales faster, deliver customer service everywhere, create 1-to-1 customer journeys, engage with customers in interactive communities, deliver analytics for every business user and build modern mobile apps fast.
Pending approval from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) Board of Directors, the IEDC will offer Salesforce up to $17,200,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $750,000 in training grants. These incentives are performance-based and will apply after Salesforce attains its current hiring goal of 1,560 associates in Indiana. The city of Indianapolis will consider additional incentives.

According to TechPoint, Indiana’s technology initiative, computer and IT jobs in Central Indiana grew by 17 percent – at a rate more than double the growth rate of all occupations – from 2009-2014, creating more than 5,000 jobs and exceeding the national growth rate of tech jobs of 5.7 percent. The Indianapolis area ranks No. 2 in the nation for tech grads (DataFox), No. 5 in the nation for women in tech (Fast Company) and No. 6 in the nation for tech jobs (Fast Company).

Replacing ISTEP

0

Dear Friend,

This session, I joined lawmakers in passing legislation to eliminate and replace the state’s troubled ISTEP test.

The new law phases out the test by July 2017, and creates a 23-member panel to review and recommend an alternative to the statewide standardized test. The majority of panel members are educators including teachers, professors and school administrators from throughout the state.

The ISTEP review panel will meet over the summer and fall months and submit its recommendations for a better way to measure student achievement to the General Assembly and governor by Dec. 1.

As we continue our work on behalf of teachers and students, please contact me with questions and input at (317) 232­-9816 or h76@iga.in.gov.

Sincerely,

State Rep. Wendy McNamara

Split COA reinstates suit of pedestrian hit by deputy’s vehicle

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

A man who was walking on the wrong side of the road in dark clothes at night and was struck by a Marion County deputy driving a jail transport vehicle may pursue his negligence claim, a divided Indiana Court of Appeals panel ruled Friday, reversing the trial court.

In late November 2011, Charles Hill and his daughter Macey were walking home from a nearby park along Fox Hill Road when he was struck by a vehicle driven by Deputy Erich Gephart. The two walked on the same side of the road as the family home is located so as not to cross traffic, according to the record. There are no sidewalks on either side of the road.

A Marion Superior court granted summary judgment in favor of the Indianapolis defendants in Barbara Hill, individually and as guardian of Charles Hill, incapacitated, and as next friend of Alexandra Hill, a minor, et al. v. Erich E. Gephart, City of Indianapolis, et al., 49A02-1509-CT-1288.On appeal, the Hills argued Charles Hill’s contributory negligence was an issue to be decided as a trier of fact and not a matter of law. A majority of the appeals panel agreed.

“It is up to the jury to determine whether (Charles Hill’s walking on the wrong side of the road) was reasonable or if Charles contributed to his injuries,” Judge Paul Mathias wrote in the majority opinion joined by Judge James Kirsch. “(A) genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Charles was contributorily negligent, and the trial court erred by disposing the Hills’ claim on summary judgment.”

Judge Elaine Brown dissented and would affirm the trial court. She noted Hill was in violation of I.C. 9-21-17-14, which requires that pedestrians walk “only on the left side of the roadway.” She wrote that because Hill also wore dark clothing at night and talked on his cell phone, no material fact exists as to his contributory negligence.

DONALD TRUMP, LIBERAL

1

Pat Bagley / Salt Lake Tribune

By Rick Jensen

Is this your candidate?

“Everybody’s gotta be covered… Universal health care. The government’s going to pay for it.”

“… single payer, it works in Canada; it works in Scotland.”

“I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.”

“I am very pro-choice.” When asked about banning partial birth abortions, the answer was unequivocally, “No.”

On who would make the best deal with Iran: “Hillary has always surrounded herself with the very best people. I think Hillary would do a good job.”

On Nancy Pelosi: “I’m very impressed by her. I think she’s a very impressive person. I like her a lot.” “She was really gonna look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which, personally, I thought would have been a wonderful thing.”

“The economy does better under the Democrats than it does under the Republicans.”

The candidate supported the failed stimulus, auto bailouts and bank bailouts, saying it was “what we need” and praising Obama’s failed schemes of “building infrastructure, building great projects, putting people to work in that sense.”

The candidate declared, “…the government should stand behind (the auto companies) 100 percent” because “they make wonderful products.”

“Something that has to get done.,” was how the candidate referred to the bank bailouts, noting the government “can take over companies, and, frankly, take big chunks of companies.”In 2009, the candidate shared these views on President Obama’s stimulus plan with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News: “I thought he did a terrific job. This is a strong guy; knows what he wants, and this is what we need. First of all, I thought he did a great job tonight. I thought he was strong and smart, and it looks like we have somebody that knows what he is doing finally in office, and he did inherit a tremendous problem. He really stepped into a mess, Greta.”

Think it sounds like Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton?

These are the words of the presumed Republican nominee Donald Trump.

It takes a lot of faith to believe he has dramatically changed his views, especially when it comes to executive actions, something constitutional conservatives rail against.

“I won’t refuse it. I’m going to do a lot of things,” Trump said when asked if he would use executive orders in an interview on “Meet the Press.”

“I mean, (Obama)’s led the way, to be honest with you.”

Of course, Trump claims with no uncertainty that HIS executive orders will be for the “right things.” How do we know? Because Obama’s executive orders are for the “wrong things?”

Who decides what the “right things” and “wrong things” are? The President?

No. It is the people through their elected representatives.”But I’m going to use them much better and they’re going to serve a much better purpose than he’s done,” Trump said.

Who says? You? Certainly not the framers of the Constitution.

When Obama’s executive orders are added to his presidential memoranda, which have as much authority as executive orders, Obama has, indeed, issued more presidential actions than any other U.S. president in history.

As Trump is so impressed with Obama’s leadership, expect even more government by executive fiat by Trump.

Not that Hillary would be any better.

No, it’s easy to predict Hillary would expand on all of the worst of these practices to the detriment of the country.

This is why Republicans believe they need a much better candidate.

Or do they?

Trump is responsible for increased Republican Party registrations around the country. There is no other compelling reason for people to sign up.

On March 15, more Republicans voted in all 5 states than in 2012. North Carolina GOP primary turnout was 16 percent higher. Ohio posted 68 percent more voters.

Democrats, meanwhile, saw their turnout drop in all five states. In Ohio, 50 percent of the 2012 Democratic primary voters stayed home.

Republicans have momentum, while democrats must frighten people to vote against Trump, not for Hillary.

Should Trump win, his cabinet needs to make this the best government possible.

Should Hillary win, we will experience the Chinese curse of “living in interesting times.”

Aces homer twice in 6-5 loss at Dallas Baptist

0

DALLAS, Texas – A five-run sixth inning proved the difference on Friday night as the University of Evansville baseball team dropped a 6-5 decision to league-leading Dallas Baptist at Horner Ballpark.

With the loss, the Aces (25-19, 7-6 Missouri Valley Conference) fall 2.5 games back of the Patriots (30-14, 9-3), with just eight conference games remaining on the schedule.

“I thought we had some great at bats and a great approach, but we just hit some right at people,” UE head coach Wes Carroll said. “We felt pretty good about ourselves after both Trey and Korbin ran into pitches, but we could not close out the inning in the bottom of the sixth, and it really cost us tonight.

The Aces came out of the gates strong, grabbing a 3-0 lead after the third inning. Josh Jyawook got things started as an errant throw from DBU shortstop Trooper Reynolds allowed him to reach base with two outs in the third. Boomer Synek would make him pay just two pitches later with a double, and Trey Hair followed up with his seventh home run of the season.

A Shain Showers groundout tacked on another run for UE an inning later, but the Patriots were able to respond with a Matt Duce single. Aces starter Patrick Schnieders fortunately worked out of the jam, striking out David Martinelli to strand the bases loaded and keep UE ahead 4-1.

Following Korbin Williams’ home run in the top of the sixth, Schnieders wouldn’t be as fortunate as Dallas pushed across five runs, including three with two outs to take control.

Schnieders was pegged with the loss, dropping him to 4-4 on the year, as he allowed all six runs on 10 hits over 5.2 innings.

The Aces would have their chances down the stretch, stranding five runners over the course of the seventh and eighth innings before DBU closer Seth Elledge shut the door with a pair of strikeouts in a 1-2-3 ninth inning to pick up his 11th save of the season.

DBU starting pitcher Colin Poche improved to 7-0 on the mound.

Both teams will return to action with a 2 p.m. start at Horner Ballpark.

NOTES: Trey Hair’s two-run blast was actually his eighth of the year … Earlier this season the junior left the park in a game at Indiana, which was called due to weather in the bottom of the fifth … Korbin Williams joined Jonathan Ramon as the only two Aces to record double-digit homers since the NCAA adjusted its bat standards prior to the 2011 season … This weekend marks the 14th, 15th and 16th meetings between the Patriots and the Aces … Dating back to 1978, the first year that UE participated in Division I baseball, UE is 5-9 versus Dallas Baptist … Last season, the Aces dropped two out of three to the Patriots in Evansville … UE last visited DBU in 2014, winning a pair of games at Horner Ballpark on the way to hoisting a conference title … Since 1978, the Aces are 7-14 all-time against opponents from the state of Texas.
