INDIANA BEATS KENTUCKY IN OPENING MEET

Indiana swimming and diving pulled off an emphatic win over Kentucky in its season-opening meet on October 4 inside the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center. The two programs raced long course meters, and IU won all but two events after a strong summer in the 50-meter pool. Nine Hoosiers won multiple events, and Indiana swept the diving competitions.

LIU NAMED BIG TEN DIVER OF THE WEEK (OCT. 11)

Junior Skyler Liu swept the springboard events in Indiana swimming and diving’s emphatic win over Kentucky and was named the Big Ten Diver of the Week for the first time in her career. Liu, an All-American on 3-meter and platform last year in her first season as a collegiate diver, recorded NCAA Zone Qualifying scores in both the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions during IU’s season-opening meet. The Hoosier women beat the Wildcats by a score of 218-82, in part thanks to Liu’s dominance on the boards.

Liu started the meet by winning the 1-meter event with a score of 301.88 after executing four dives worth at least 50 points to lead a 1-2-3 finish for the Hoosiers. In the 3-meter event, Liu showed composure to hold off Kentucky’s Abby Devereaux by 6.45 points with a winning total 303.30 points.

SENATOR BRAUN SUPPORTS BIPARTISAN LAWSUIT AGAINST META FOR “CASHING IN ON DAMAGING YOUNG PEOPLE’S MENTAL HEALTH”

0

WASHINGTON – Senator Braun released the following statement supporting Indiana’s Attorney General Todd Rokita joining a lawsuit from 41 states against Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, over features designed to get young people addicted to their services and collecting data on children under 13.

“Most kids ages 13-18 are on social media like Instagram, and Meta’s own internal research found that it was increasing suicidal thoughts and eating disorders among young girls. I fully support Attorney General Rokita joining 41 states in their bipartisan lawsuit against Meta to protect Hoosier kids from Big Tech platforms that cash in on damaging young people’s mental health.” – Senator Mike Braun

Use of Instagram among Americans aged 13 – 18 is nearly universal. Internal research from Meta found “13.5% of teen girls saying Instagram makes thoughts of suicide worse and 17% of teen girls saying it makes eating disorders worse.”

A Wall Street Journal report in 2021 showed that Meta knew the effect its products have on young people, and designed features specifically to increase their market share among young users.

Indiana State Police Partners with the DEA for 25th Prescription Drug Take Back Day

0

(Fort Wayne, IN)- This coming Saturday, October 28, 2023, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring their 25th “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative.  The “Take Back” initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of unwanted prescription drugs.

Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment.  This program is for pill and liquid medications.  Vaping pens without batteries and vaping cartridges will also be taken.  Needles, new or used, WILL NOT be accepted for disposal.  This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.  Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—pose both potential safety and health hazards.

Once again, the Indiana State Police is pleased to partner with the DEA, and as in the past, unwanted medications may be dropped off at any Indiana State Police Post, except for the Toll Road Post.  The event will be on Saturday, October 28, 2023, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

The Indiana State Police Fort Wayne Post will host their collection site on Saturday, October 28, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  The Fort Wayne Post is located at 5811 Ellison Road just off of the I-69/US24 interchange.
