EVSC

I just wanted to verify that EVSC schools will be in session an extra hour today to make up the final extended day originally scheduled for Monday.  At this time, today is the only extended day for the EVSC this week. As of now, the remaining days this week will operate on a normal schedule. We will notify media and families once a decision has been made regarding how the EVSC will make up this latest snow day.

IS IT TRUE March 4, 2014 “contracts with ghosts”

55

ghostsIS IT TRUE for the first time since the Opus One Christmas Party at Biaggi’s, putting together the right words to accurately describe the mind numbing ignorance coming from the Civic Center and its surrogates seems challenging to squeeze into the number of words that a daily column holds?…between the shortcomings of the financial performance of the Ford Center, similarly deficient numbers at the Victory Theatre, and now the extension of a loan made to Earthcare Energy LLC two years ago under cloak and dagger it is beginning to seem as though there is no hope for sanity to prevail in anything that passes through the Winnecke Administration’s hands?…the oversights in contracts, the failure to VET and the arrogance to dismiss VETTING as unnecessary, and the lust for photo ops like yesterday’s “Ellen DeGeneres” style selfie are as astonishing as a shirtless Vladimir Putin taking a horseback ride for photographers?…anyone who is not stunned by the last week in Evansville politics is truly numb to arrogance and narcissism?

IS IT TRUE we must point out that the extension for the loan to Earthcare Energy LLC was crafted to be signed by Ken Haney on behalf of Earthcare Energy LLC?…the public records for the State of Texas do not have a record of Earthcare Energy LLC existing?…it seems as though the Loan Administration Board has entered into a contract with a non-existent entity?…as pointed out previously Earthcare Energy LLC seems to have been reborn as Enviro Energy LLC with a nearly identical website, the same cast of characters in management, and just concluded a fundraising effort on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo without raising so much as a single dollar?…one would think that the City Attorney Ted Ziemer or GAGE President Debbie Dewey would at least verify that Earthcare Energy had legal status to enter into a contract before recommending that a city of over 100,000 people make a contract with them?…this is like a scene from the banking TWILIGHT ZONE playing out for all to see?…the Ford Center and the Victory may be coming up short on dollars because the free entertainment coming from the Civic Center is better than any professional act they could ever bring to town?

IS IT TRUE in one online document Enviro Energy LLC even claims to have had revenue of $200,000?…one wonders how taking out a loan constitutes generation of revenue in anyone who has even taken Accounting 101’s mind?…unless some other entity paid Enviro Energy $200,000 for some service rendered it would seem as though the Evansville loan money was paid by Earthcare to Enviro and booked as revenue?…this is not only bad accounting it is intentionally misleading to any potential investor or benefactor?

IS IT TRUE that Evansville has 900 fewer people working than it did two years ago in spite of the “official” unemployment rate dropping due to people just giving up?…seeing things like have happened here during the past week go unchallenged in the mainstream media as though such idiocies are as common as frost makes one believe that whatever hope there once was for returning Evansville to a place of significance has vaporized before our eyes?…as Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Mayor Winnecke dances and takes selfies while encouraging his minions to enter into contract extensions with ghosts?…if this goes without a serious challenge from the people of Evansville and the Evansville City Council these fingers will soon write no more about a place which seemingly cannot be saved from itself?

IS IT TRUE that the CCO staff members that attended yesterdays “Loan Board” meeting were taken back by the way the Mayors Chief of Staff conducted himself?  …we are tired of the way he publicly shows disrespect towards our elected officials?  …we feel its time for someone to step forward to stop his bulling attitude towards city council members by putting him in his proper place?

Even a Little Exercise May Protect Against Colon Polyps

0

Study found just one hour a week made a difference in risk

By Amanda Gardner
HealthDay Reporter
SUNDAY, May 8 (HealthDay News) — Even a little exercise may ward off polyps in the colon, which are sometimes precursors to cancer.

In fact, just an hour a week of low-intensity exercise — even such seemingly trivial activities as walking on the street or climbing stairs — reduced risk, especially among individuals who are obese or overweight, according to new research slated to be presented Sunday at Digestive Disease Week in Chicago.

The New York City researchers noted that benefits were seen across a variety of ethnic groups and weight ranges.

The findings are not really new, just confirmatory of what doctors have been urging all along: get out and move, not just to prevent polyps but to prevent a whole host of diseases.

“Exercise is a good thing,” said Dr. David Weinberg, chairman of medicine at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. “It matters in sick people and black people and skinny people and overweight people.”

Although many previous studies have been done on this subject, not many looked at the effect of exercise in a multi-ethnic group.

“African-Americans are disproportionately impacted by colon cancer. Even within our own sample, blacks had the highest prevalence of polyps and adenomas [benign tumors that can become cancerous],” said study author Dr. Nelson Sanchez, attending physician at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. “Overweight and obese people are another segment of the population that is at increased risk of colon cancer and colon polyps.”

This study included almost 1,000 patients of different ethnic and racial groups: 56.8 were Hispanic, 20.6 percent were Asian, 15.2 percent were black and 7 percent were white. The participants were middle-aged and at no increased risk for colon cancer or polyps. About two-thirds were overweight and about half exercised for at least an hour a week.

After performing screening colonoscopies, the researchers determined that people who exercised one or more hours a week had a 25.3 percent risk of polyps, versus 33.2 percent for those who didn’t meet this exercise threshold.

The hour of weekly exercise lowered the risk of adenomas in people who were overweight and who were black. The risk of cancer was also lowered in black study participants.

Also, “individuals who exercised for at least three years had increased protection from colon polyps,” said Sanchez, who spoke at an April 21 news conference on the research.

“Nobody knows why there’s a benefit from exercise,” Weinberg said. “You can come up with a couple of reasonable hypotheses. Is it because you’re altering some important set of biological pathways? There’s a lot of data that link obesity and polyps. Does that operate through insulin and insulin growth factors?”

The findings, added Sanchez, “have a great public health impact.”

Now the job is to determine exactly which exercises are the most beneficial, he said.

Because the study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Councilwoman Riley Post: We Have the Votes to Rescind the Earthcare Loan Approval

19

stephanie picture

Evansville City Councilwoman Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley posted the following statement on the Earthcare Energy LLC loan approval that has languished for the last two years. The follow through by the City Council to rescind this loan approval renders the contemplated extension of the time for Earthcare to pay the City of Evansville back the $186,000 owed to be moot.

The gathering of the votes to rescind the $4.8 Million loan sets the tone for the Winnecke Administration to move forward to collect the debt they snuck to Earthcare two years ago without notifying the City Council.

“It’s time to close the books on Earthcare Energy and learn from our mistakes.

Through the leadership of City Council President John Friend, the votes are now assembled to finally rescind the $4.8 million dollar loan approval for Earthcare Energy (now Enviro Energy). It’s time to close the books on this project and move on as a community. What we must learn from this costly mistake is that how we invest in job creation is changing. As a city, we must be able to determine when and how much financial risk to take related to economic development. A process for vetting where we put investment dollars is sorely needed. How many bad loans will we make before we understand that if we want to be a bank, we have to learn to act like one?

This rescission means a lot to me, as this project was my trial by fire when I took office. I’m so proud of the ground we’ve covered in two years. The willingness to call this out as mistake and to address it is integrity, and it’s impressive.”

Greek DB wins Startup Weekend Evansville 3.0

0

start-up-2014_News

USI students and alumni represented on top three teams

Kettering University students Aaron Simmons and Ryan Allen of Flint, Michigan, along with University of Southern Indiana student Adam Simmons (Aaron’s brother), made up the Greek DB team winning the top prize at Startup Weekend Evansville 3.0.

Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event in which developers, designers, marketers, product managers, and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups. More than 90 individuals, including coaches and judges, participated in the 2014 Startup Weekend Evansville 3.0 held in USI’s Business and Engineering Center February 21-23.

Greek DB pitched software designed to help manage fraternities, sororities and other Greek letter organizations, as well as other membership-based organizations. The software contains tools to manage everything from members and alumni to budgeting, finance, and judicial cases.

As the winners of Startup Weekend Evansville 3.0, Greek DB received an automatic entry into the preliminary competition of the Venture Sharks business competition held April 16-17 in Louisville, Kentucky. The winners of that competition vie for a prize package valued at more than $10,000.

Taking second place at Startup Weekend Evansville 3.0 was team Delicious Street made up of USI students Jason Litherland and Austin Craig, 2010 USI alumnus Kenny Lasley, and Alan Strahinic, an Indiana State University student. Their idea combined a food truck backed by a crowd-sourcing mobile app that allows users to request a food truck and the food truck driver to go where the most demand is.

The third place prize went to Med Secure headed up by USI management senior Adam Dennis, along with teammates and USI students Mark Lewellyn, Michelle Muse, Cole Schafer, and Joel Trewartha. Their idea revolved around a bio-locking (fingerprint) device that could be secured to drawers or medicine cabinets to protect dangerous prescription medication from being misused or abused by others. The idea came to Dennis after a friend passed away from abusing prescription medication.

Other prizes awarded to winning teams included two scholarships to New Venture for further idea development (Value $2,000 from sponsor Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville), and four free memberships to the Innovation Pointe co-working space (Value $2,400 from sponsor Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville).

“This past weekend featured some of the best and most unique final business pitches we’ve seen in all three years of this event,” said Mark Elliott, Startup Weekend 3.0 co-organizer and program director at South Central Media in Evansville. “A pre-teen team (10 and 12 years old) pitching gel filled hats, to the winning team, who drove all the way from Flint,Michigan to participate – we had a great group of people and we hope to keep the momentum going.  When I was trying to start my own business, I wish I would have had a Startup Weekend type event to help me.”

Judges included Dr. Joe Trendowski, University of Evansville assistant professor of management; Jason Kellams, vice president of operations and business development at ARC Industries; Kent Parker, business executive, entrepreneur and investor; Walter Valiant, owner and president of Signarama Evansville; and Shance Sizemore, program manager at Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville.
