An experiment of "East meets West" began for sixth-grade students at the Percy I. Bugbee School in the autumn of 1947. It was early October, and the students were anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new teacher — from China.
Bugbee School Principal Willis P. Porter had become acquainted with Yen Yi-Yun while he was a sergeant in the U.S. Army, stationed in China during World War II. Through his efforts, Yi-Yun, who also was known as Isabella, was brought here to teach. The experiment was the first of its kind at a New York state teachers college. Bugbee was then a training school for the Oneonta State Teachers College, known today as the State University College at Oneonta.
Ever since the students were notified of Yi-Yun's appointment as their teacher, members of the sixth grade had been planning for her arrival. Among the gifts they prepared was a diary of daily events in the classroom since the school opened in September. They kept a close watch on her travels, through correspondence.
This was Yi-Yun's first visit to the United States. It wasn't an easy or quick trip in getting here, as she boarded a ship Sept. 13. A typhoon off the coast of Japan caused a considerable delay. She arrived in San Francisco and took a train eastbound.
Finally, Wednesday, Nov. 5, about 30 sixth-grade students waited in the dampness of the D&H Railroad Station, today's Stella Luna Ristorante on Market Street, for the Binghamton-Albany bound passenger train.
As described by The Binghamton Press, "A small woman in a blue coat, carrying a blue muff-purse, was escorted from the train by Willis P. Porter."
"Bruce Salisbury, red-headed sixth grader who towered over the little Chinese teacher, gave the official welcome and introduced each of his classmates, individually."

UV light cleaning technology enhances patient safety
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Upstate University Hospital has acquired a new tool that is helping provide a cleaner, safer environment for its patients. The use of a specialized ultraviolet (UV) light device has been added to the already thorough cleaning process for patient rooms and public restrooms. This added technology improves patient safety and reduces disease transmission.
"We had an effective process established, and now adding the UV light to the tool box helps wipe out fomite transmission of contagious disease,"
explained Paul Seale, chief operating officer of Upstate University Hospital. "Now, we clean, disinfect and apply the UV light to help eradicate hard to kill bacteria like C. difficile."
Three UV light units are placed in the patient room after the traditional cleaning process is completed. This allows the light to hit all surfaces by eliminating shadowed areas and placing a dedicated unit in the rest room. The units are activated by remote control for safety purposes. The use of the UV light units takes approximately 30 minutes.
"This has been a real team effort with a goal of improving patient safety," said Sue Campanaro-Murphy, C.H.E.S.P., director of Environmental Services for Upstate University Hospital. "We evaluated our existing cleaning process, added the UV light and developed an implementation plan that has let us get into the areas with the most vulnerable patient populations first. We already use UV technology in the air handling system and operating rooms, so we are skilled at using it and know that it is effective."
Use of the UV light unit began in late June, starting with areas for patients that are most vulnerable to infections. Since the end of June, more than 220 rooms located on all inpatient floors, including public restrooms, have been treated with the UV light.
Caption: The use of a specialized ultraviolet (UV) light device, as shown in this illustration, has been added to the cleaning process for patient rooms and public restrooms.

UPDATE: Charges filed in hotel deaths
by Anna Oakes
The operator of the Boone Best Western hotel on Wednesday was indicted on three counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of assault inflicting serious bodily injury in the carbon monoxide poisonings that occurred at the hotel last year.
Assistant district attorney Britt Springer announced that a grand jury indicted Barry Damon Mallatere of Blowing Rock on all four charges sought by the district attorney's office. Mallatere was the president of Appalachian Hospitality Management, the company that manages operations at the hotel, at the time of the incidents in April and June 2013.
"The grand jury has come back with true bills on all of the charges we submitted on," Springer said at a press briefing following the grand jury's deliberations. "The charge is merely an accusation -- I want to be clear on this one. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law."
The matter will now proceed to a trial in Watauga County Superior Court, where a jury will decide whether or not Mallatere played a role in the April 16 deaths of Daryl and Shirley Jenkins, ages 73 and 72, of Longview, Wash., and the June 8 death of 11-year-old Jeffrey Williams of Rock Hill, S.C.
All three died after staying in Best Western room 225, where investigators said they found concentrated levels of carbon monoxide emanating from an indoor swimming pool water heater and a faulty exhaust system.
Under North Carolina law, involuntary manslaughter is a Class F felony punishable by a maximum of 20 months in prison for someone with no prior convictions. The charge of assault inflicting serious bodily injury, also a Class F felony, is for Williams' mother Jeannie, who was hospitalized and suffered permanent damage from the carbon monoxide exposure, Springer said.
Mallatere's first administrative court date has been set for 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 17, according to the bills of indictment. Attorney Stacy "Four" Eggers IV, who is currently serving as Mallatere's defense attorney in the criminal trial, said that Mallatere had not been served with the indictments as of Thursday afternoon. He anticipated that he and his client would arrange a time with the Boone Police Department for Mallatere to be served.
"I know he's been cooperative with them," Eggers said.
Paul Culpepper, a Hickory attorney representing Mallatere, released a statement following the district attorney's announcement.
"Damon Mallatere is disappointed the district attorney has decided to press criminal charges against him in light of the facts of this matter," the statement said. "Mr. Mallatere's thoughts and prayers go out to the people affected by this tragic accident."
The Boone Police Department presented findings from its investigation to the district attorney's office in December. Springer declined to take questions at the press briefing Wednesday.
"We will take it to a Watauga County jury in the near future," she said.
Victims' families respond
On Wednesday, representatives of the Williams and Jenkins families released statements in response to the grand jury indictments.
Mark Brumbaugh, the attorney for family members of Daryl and Shirley Jenkins, said Wednesday, "The Jenkins family is pleased to learn that the Watauga County district attorney will seek criminal accountability for the deaths of Daryl and Shirley Jenkins."
Brumbaugh has said his clients plan to pursue civil lawsuits. He did not respond to additional questions sent Wednesday and Thursday.
Darrell Williams, the uncle of Jeffrey Williams, released a statement from the family following the announcement.
"Our family wishes to discover the truth," the family said. "We also want to make sure every effort is made to make absolutely certain that no other family has to go through this same needless and absolutely avoidable tragedy.
"This is a very difficult position for our family as we do not want to see any person or persons have to go to prison for an honest mistake," the statement added. "However, in this case, gross negligence and recklessness in the failure to correctly design, install, inspect, maintain and repair the hotel's pool heater system, coupled with delays in the initial investigation of Daryl and Shirley Jenkins' deaths, then a failure to act on information, directly caused Jeffrey's death and Jeannie's injuries."
'One name'
At the press briefing, Springer noted that "the DA's office decided to submit to the grand jury one name, and that name being Barry Damon Mallatere."
But multiple individuals, businesses and public agencies were involved in the installation and inspection of the pool heater as well as the initial investigation of the Jenkinses' death in April.
Information uncovered in the days following the June 8 death of Williams revealed that local medical examiner Brent Hall could have requested expedited processing and analysis of state toxicology lab results in the Jenkinses's autopsies -- but did not. Still, the results confirming carbon monoxide as the cause of death for Shirley Jenkins were available June 1 -- one week before Jeffrey Williams and his mother stayed in room 225.
Hall resigned from his post in June.
The statement released by Mallatere's attorney Wednesday questioned the charges and why the investigation did not focus on the contractor, Independence Oil LLC, which converted the pool heater to natural gas service -- as well as the town of Boone's inspectors.
Independence Oil was contracted in early 2012 to perform natural gas conversions for several hotels operated by Appalachian Hospitality Management, including the Best Western. According to its contract, Independence Oil was to "pressure test all equipment to ensure a leak-free system," "replace each appliance that cannot be converted with new equipment that is equipped for natural gas," "guarantee that the existing pipe will be adequate for a natural gas system" and "require that all existing equipment must be in proper working order prior to our conversion work."
Mallatere's statement alleged that Independence Oil converted the Best Western pool heater and appliances at other hotels even though the manufacturer's manual warned that they should not be converted, and it expressed concerns about potential problems with other gas conversions performed by the company.
"Mr. Mallatere is extremely disappointed the Boone Police have decided to ignore the actions of Independence Oil in their investigation and focus solely on a business owner who entered into a written agreement with a recommended company to perform the conversions," the statement said. "Of course this would also bring into question the actions by the town of Boone for their inspection of the conversions."
A copy of the town of Boone permit form dated March 8, 2012, and inspection report dated March 22, 2012, -- provided by Culpepper -- show that a pool heater, three water heaters, two dryers and 13 gas logs at the Best Western were to be converted to gas, and that the hotel passed its inspection. The town of Boone has not fulfilled a public records request from Watauga Democrat for copies of permits and inspections at the hotel, stating they are not public records because they are part of a criminal investigation.
Independence Oil LLC is a subsidiary of Gas Natural Inc., which is also the parent company of Frontier Natural Gas. Although the company is still intact, its assets were recently sold to Blue Ridge Energies, so Independence Oil is no longer in operation, said Darryl Knight, its former president.
Knight said he could not comment on claims that the Best Western heater was improperly converted to natural gas.
"Independence Oil did the conversion work in March 2012, and the work that was performed by Independence was inspected and passed by the inspectors of the city of Boone," Knight said. He said the company's attorney met with the Boone Police Department, involved its insurance company and hired an expert witness to examine the Best Western heater. Knight said he did not know how many conversions the company performed in Boone.
"Clearly, the grand jury felt that it was negligence on the hotel's part on the improper venting and the corrosion thereof. Our work is not in question because we weren't indicted on this," he said. "It's a tragic situation. It's sad -- the chain of events that led up to this."
Reed Fountain, an attorney for the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, said Thursday that Independence Oil is not currently facing actions as a result of the board's investigation of the Best Western incidents.
Boone Planning & Inspections Director Bill Bailey did not respond Thursday to a request for comment.
Springer responds
Various government officials, including local building inspectors, health departments and fire marshals, conduct safety inspections of hotel facilities. The investigation of the hotel deaths involved the Boone Police Department, medical examiner and others.
In December, District Attorney Jerry Wilson declined to comment when asked about what actions would be taken if the Best Western investigation revealed that a public agency erred in its duties.
In response to a similar question, N.C. Attorney General's Office spokeswoman Noelle Talley explained that "local district attorneys have the sole authority to prosecute state criminal charges."
"As far as action against employees of any of these local or state public agencies, there certainly could be internal personnel actions taken," Talley said. "There could also be private, civil legal action brought -- wrongful death-type litigation against agencies or individuals."
Watauga Democrat asked Springer if the district attorney's office considered criminal charges against other individuals in addition to Mallatere.
"The person who the state feels was criminally responsible for the three deaths has been indicted," Springer said. "That does not mean I feel others are blameless for the deaths.
"There was a complete breakdown on accountability in these deaths," she said. "The ability to stop a death from occurring because of someone else's criminal negligence is not a crime in North Carolina. There are many people who through carelessness or indifference could have stopped this tragedy but did not. I am bound by what our criminal laws are and would never charge someone criminally unless the law so supports."

A Joplin man whose battery was stolen out of his truck helped catch the alleged thief by performing a little of his own detective work.
Police Cpl. Chuck Niess said Michael England parked his pickup truck Saturday morning in a lot in the 1800 block of West Seventh Street and went inside a restaurant. When he came back out, he discovered that the battery had been stolen out of his truck.
On a hunch, England went to USA Metals Recycling at 2002 W. Seventh St. and confronted a man who was there attempting to turn in his battery for cash, Niess said. Police were notified, and Nicholas R. Patton, 28, of Seneca, was arrested and charged with felony tampering with a vehicle.

I received a midday phone call earlier this week from Doug Chickering. He called to report a handsome lark sparrow near the start of the Hellcat dike on Plum Island. I posted the sighting to the Plum Island and Massbird listservs so that others would know of Doug's discovery.
Lark sparrows are not extreme rarities — one or more usually shows up somewhere in Massachusetts during the fall. Still, birders like to see it, especially if they keep a "year list" for the state. It is uncommon enough to see that one might go out of their way to view this bird, even if they didn't keep a list. Lark sparrows are often found west of the Mississippi, preferring brushy habitat near shrubs and trees. I have seen flocks of them in Arizona and California. It is a boldly marked bird with clown-like facial markings, a clear breast with single "stickpin" dot in the middle, and white in the tail feathers that flash when it flies. It is a handsome bird indeed, and one that I like to see when it is around. But, as is often the case, the bird was on Plum Island and I was at work in the store for another five hours or more.
I decided that I would head down the island after work and hoped that the bird would still be visiting. In any case, it was a good excuse to get out and do a little midweek birding on what was a very pleasant autumn evening, before the humidity crept in this week. I arrived at the Hellcat parking lot, under cloudy skies, just before 6 p.m. and I was just a little bit surprised that there were only a couple of cars there. As I walked past the restrooms up to the dike, I saw that there was no one else there.

Euro bank bosses condemned over £80m Ford loan
6:34pm Thursday 8th November 2012 in Ford Transit Factory By Patrick Knox, Senior Reporter
EUROPEAN bank bosses have claimed they were clueless about Ford's plans to ditch Southampton's plant when handing £80m to its Turkey factory.
As previously revealed, the US car giant received the loan for its Turkish plant, where it has been ramping up production – while production tumbled at the Swaythling plant.
Ford is using the cash to upgrade the booming plant in the Mediterranean country, which is not even a European Union member.
South East Euro MPs last night renewed their condemnation of the loan, which they said sealed the fate of the "home of the Transit" in Southampton.
The loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB), owned by Britain and fellow EU member states, was agreed in June as part of a multi-billion-dollar investment plan for the 395-acre site in Kocaeli which is taking over all Transit production.
But the EIB last night told the Daily Echo it "strongly refuted" that the loan led to the closure of the Southampton plant.
It said it had financed the production of existing Turkish-made vans and on the back of promises that Ford's Southampton plant had a future.
A spokesman said: "There is no link between funding in Turkey and the job losses in Southampton. It was an unfortunate decision taken by Ford which impacted on UK jobs.
"Evaluation for this EIB loan was completed in December 2011. At the time of the evaluation, it was foreseen that a version of the new vehicle would continue to be sourced from Ford's Southampton plant."
But with the plant closing in July 2013 after nearly 40 years, its Turkish counterpart is set to thrive.
Thanks to the loan, it will be introducing state-of-the-art facilities to prepare for production of a next generation of vans.
The same new models will soon be making their appearance on the quayside of Southampton – having been shipped from a non-EU member with much less workers' pay and conditions rights.
UK Independence Party leader and South East MEP Nigel Farage questioned why Chancellor George Osborne, a governor of the bank as one of the 27 member states that own it, allowed the loan to go ahead to a country outside the EU.
He said: "The EIB says it is not an issue of timing. But it is a simple fact that UK taxpayers, through the EIB, were subsidising the closure of a UK manufacturing plant. It is just a sweetener to get Turkey to join the EU."
Daniel Hannan, Conservative South East MEP, said: "Competition is one thing, but it's outrageous that British taxpayers should be subsidising foreign competitors to our own firms."

Part of me would wonder what they would think if I took a big chunk of there own money, and gave it to someone else so they can train to then take his job!

I don't think that anyone would disagree with that conclusion.
Of course, our government has also made a multi-million pound grant to Ford.
I wonder whether they will also admit that they were clueless, which would confirm the suspicions of many.

At least this is a loan, and not a freebie bung like the UK gave them.
And the idea they are clueless about Ford's plans is laughable - wouldn't you ask a few questions if making a load for 80million ?
I'm sure the remaining Transit buyers will look forward to much cheaper vehicles now that it costs less to make them. Wonder who will be brave enough to take the first ones off the production line as the new factory learns how to make them when you don't have 40 years of experience behind you.

It was 43 years ago today (September 18th, 1970), that Jimi Hendrix died at the age of 27, about two months shy of his 28th birthday. Over 40 years later, the events surrounding his death remain sketchy at best, with the only clear fact being that the coroner report stated that Hendrix had asphyxiated in his own vomit, which mainly consisted of red wine. Monika Dannemann, his girlfriend at the time, has long contended that he was alive when placed in the ambulance.
Hendrix fans are in for a treat this fall with a new American Masters special airing on PBS. The two-hour documentary, Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train A Comin,' will be released on DVD on November 5th -- the day of its TV premiere -- along with the new concert CD culled from Hendrix's two concert appearances on May 18th, 1968 as part of the Miami Pop Festival. The two new releases cap off the year-long commemoration of what would've been Hendrix's 70th birthday. Back in March, the guitarist's latest vault release, People, Hell And Angels, debuted at Number Two on the Billboard 200 album charts.
Earlier this summer fans welcomed the latest Jimi Hendrix "official bootleg" sold through AuthenticHendrix.com. The collection, Live In Cologne, which has been bootlegged numerous times over the years, is more of a historical curio for die-hards than an audiophile's delight, having been recorded on January 13th, 1969 in Cologne, Germany by a fan using a single microphone in the audience. The set was released on 180-gram vinyl with a digital download as a web exclusive.
The tracklisting to the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Live In Cologne is: "Come On (Let The Good Times Roll)," "Foxey Lady," "Red House," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "Fire," "Spanish Castle Magic," "Hey Joe," "Sunshine Of Your Love," "Star Spangled Banner," and "Purple Haze."
Hendrix aide James "Tappy" Wright claimed in his recent memoir Rock Roadie that Hendrix's final manager Michael Jeffery confessed to killing the legendary guitarist a year after Hendrix's death in September 1970. According to Wright, Jeffery claimed that he plied a semi-conscious Hendrix with enough pills and alcohol to kill him so that he could collect insurance money and not risk Hendrix breaking their management agreement.
Wright, who also roadied for Elvis Presley and Tina Turner, among others, said that Jeffery said in his confession: "I had to do it, Tappy. You understand, don't you? I had to do it. You know damn well what I'm talking about. . . I was in London the night of Jimi's death and together with some old friends . . . we went round to Monika's (Dannemann's) hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth . . . then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe. I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive. That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I'd lose everything."
Jeffery, who died in 1971, had told Wright that he had taken out a $2 million policy out on Hendrix, which named him as the chief beneficiary.
The official cause of Hendrix's death was "barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit."
The events surrounding Hendrix's death have always been shady, especially when it comes to how Hendrix was found and who exactly called for an emergency crew -- neither things which are ever out of the ordinary in an O.D. case.
Eddie Kramer, who was the engineer on the Jimi Hendrix Experience albums Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love, and Electric Ladyland, recalled his memories of Hendrix's death: ["We had just completed Electric Lady Studios, and we were halfway through a record which was going to be called The Cry Of Love. I spoke to Jimi a week before he died, and he was very positive, and was looking forward to coming back to America. His death was an unfortunate accident, there's no question about that."]
Journey guitarist Neal Schon first saw Hendrix play when he was only in his teens, and says that he was simply the greatest guitarist he ever saw perform: ["Y'know, if I had to pick one guy, I'd probably say Jimi Hendrix, just because he was so innovative in inventing the electric guitar, almost reinventing it."]
Janie Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix's step-sister and president and CEO of Experience Hendrix and Authentic Hendrix, told us that Hendrix was always good to his father Al and was about to buy the family a new house -- but one a bit different than the one he'd grown up in as a boy: ["He was gonna come stay with us, and he told my dad to go look for a house on Mercer Island, which here it's a little island that you can get to via bridge. It was where all the upper-class people lived, and he wanted him to go find a house in that area, and he was going to come stay with us."]
Stephen Stills spent hours jamming with Hendrix and recalled that Hendrix turned him on to restringing lefty guitars for righties for a better sound: ["Jimi showed me up close and personal, something about the positioning
Woodstock promoter Michael Lang recalls trying to talk Hendrix out of his closing spot at the legendary 1969 festival: ["I think they came in Sunday morning. I asked them if they wanted to go on earlier. And Michael (Jeffery, Hendrix's manager) said 'No, we definitely want to close the show.' I said 'Well, closing the show might not be good idea. It's running approximately 12 hours behind. Chances are you're going to be closing in the morning,' and they sort of insisted on it. Unfortunately, most of the audience was gone by the time Jimi played. But he played an unbelievable set."]
Chicago trombonist and co-founder James Pankow recalls the band touring with Hendrix being a life-changing experience: ["That was quite an experience. He was a god, if you will. He could snap his fingers and disappear into thin air, in a matter of speaking. He was psychedelic ladyland. Musically he was daring and innovative as anybody was -- if not more. I mean, an Africa-American who played guitar left-handed, a trio who had a bigger sound than big ensembles, and did music that was not only expressive, but was characteristic of the day."]
Band Of Gypsies bassist Billy Cox was asked what he thinks Hendrix would have accomplished had he not died in 1970: ["I get asked that question quite often, and we were gravitating toward more, like, The Rays Of The New Rising Sun. We were gravitating toward classical music, I think. We would've taken those modes into a classical vein. And then he had thought about perhaps maybe going to Juilliard, and there's no telling. (He) always talked about it."]
CHECK IT OUT: The Jimi Hendrix Experience on June 18th, 1967 live at the Monterey International Pop Festival performing "Hey Joe" and "The Wind Cries Mary":
Gene Simmons can't stop taking swings at Kiss co-founders Peter Criss and Ace Frehley, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. In the current issue of Rolling Stone, Simmons who carries on the Kiss banner 40 years later with Paul Stanley, talked about the group, while publicizing his and Stanley's joint memoir, Nothin' To Lose: The Making Of Kiss (1972-75).
As always, Simmons pulled no punches when talking about the disappointment he feels towards Criss and Frehley, but refused to take any of the blame the former drummer and guitarist -- along with millions of fans -- continue throw his way, declaring, "I am the bad guy. I won't stand for drunks and alcoholics who get up on stage and consider it their birthright. I consider it a privilege to get up there and arrive on time and be sober, and I'll be an a***hole to anybody who thinks otherwise. You know who else is an a***hole? Your teacher was an a**hole. Your parents are a**holes. Your drill sergeant was an a***hole. Because they wouldn't let you get away with s***. Ace and Peter have had a lifetime of being losers. And not just with drugs and alcohol. They're losers because of wrong decisions. You sleep in the bed you make. How many chances in life do you get? They were in and out of the band three different times. Why should they get another chance?"
Nothin' To Lose: The Making Of Kiss (1972-75), was co-written with Ken Sharp and draws on "more than 200 interviews, offering a captivating and intimate fly-on-the-wall account of their launch, charting the struggles and ultimate victories that led them to the threshold of super-stardom. Constructed as an oral history, the book includes original interviews with Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter, as well as producers, engineers, management, roadies, costume and stage designers, fans, and musical contemporaries from the time."

Heidi Klum has become an unwitting member of an exclusive celebrity club that includes everyone from Johnny Depp to Angelina Jolie. People reports the model mogul has begun removing a tattoo on her right arm that once represented her love for now-estranged husband Seal.
A source says Klum, 40, "is in the process" of obliterating the ink stain, which she had etched on after one of her many vow renewal ceremonies with her husband of seven years.
"It was our fourth wedding, and we wanted to have our names tattooed together," she explained in 2008. "So it's my husband's name and our three children -- their initials, in the [three] stars."
Heidi, who split from Seal in January 2012 and soon rebounded with her bodyguard, Martin Kristen, doesn't plan to touch the stars decorated with her kids' initials. Photos snapped on Monday show that the tat has already begun to fade.

FRANKFORT — While some teams may have backed away from attacking University Heights' center Meg Starling this season because of her shot blocking ability, Glasgow High School coach Justin Stinson would have none of that.
Stinson's team went right at the 6'5 senior and the strategy worked as the Lady Scotties (16-6) held Starling scoreless and beat UHA 53-46 Friday in the quarterfinals of the Touchstone Energy All "A" Classic Girls State Basketball Tournament at the Frankfort Convention Center.
"University Heights (17-2) is a really good team, but I am so proud of how our girls defended and responded to adversity. We kept playing and we made some big plays down the stretch," Stinson explained. "We wanted to go right at Sterling. She blocked some shots, but we leaned on her and when you get into that third and fourth quarter, as we're going at her and going at her, she starts to take a step back and we get some of those shots to fall that didn't fall in the first half. "
I was so proud of our kids. Sometimes when you get some shots blocked it gets in your head and you have the tendency to back away and settle for jumpers. I was proud of our kids and how we continued to attack the basket."
The Lady Scotties advance to Saturday's semifinals where they will face Owensboro Catholic, which is the tournament's defending champion. Tipoff is set for 9 a.m. CT.
"They were well coached and had a great gameplan," said UHA coach Taylor Sparks. "I thought we were outmatched inside. They had two quality players (Shalika Smith and Bree Glover) surrounding Meg. I thought she did as good of a job as she could. I didn't think our guards and forwards did enough to help her out. With our pressure, we wanted to attack them before they got to Meg. We just didn't do a good job of that."

Blue Raiders drop NCAA thriller to Michigan State
Season comes to a close following one-point defeatMarch 22, 2009 · Athletic Communications
Second Team All-American Alysha Clark netted a game-high and program tournament record 34 points to go along with 10 rebounds in the Lady Raiders' loss to Michigan State Sunday. (Bradley Lambert)

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Middle Tennessee led for nearly the whole game and had a missed opportunity in the final 10 seconds in falling, 60-59, to Michigan State Sunday afternoon in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament inside the Jack Breslin Student Events Center in East Lansing, Mich. The eighth-seeded Blue Raiders end their season at 28-6, while the ninth-seeded Spartans advance to Tuesday's Second Round versus No. 1-seeded Duke with a 21-10 record.
Second Team All-American pick Alysha Clark dominated the offensive scoring for both teams with a game-high 34 points to go with 10 rebounds for her 17th double-double of the season and 55th of her career and surpass the 2,000-point barrier in her career. The 34 points are also a MT tournament record, breaking Kim Webb's 33 set versus Western Kentucky in the 1985 Mideast Regional in Bowling Green, Ky.
She ends the season with 935 points, setting a single-season school record, ranking fifth all-time in NCAA history and surpassing former Lady Raiders' Amber Holt's mark of 930 set a year ago.
Clark's 27.5 points per game average tops the nation and is a new school standard, beating Holt's 27.4 ppg from 2007-08. Clark also hit both of her 3-point attempts, a single-game personal record.
The Lady Raiders could not manage another player in double figures, as Brandi Brown (nine) and Jackie Pickel (eight) were next in the scoring column.
Aisha Jefferson paced Michigan State with a double-double effort of 20 points and 10 rebounds. Kalisha Keane and Cetera Washington each chipped in double-figure outings with 13 and 12, respectively. Allyssa DeHaan, the Spartans' 6-9 center, helped limit MT in the paint with six blocked shots out of the team's 11 total.
Middle Tennessee opened the game with a 7-2 lead following a Pickel 3-pointer with 18:00 left. The home standing Michigan State crew responded with a mini 6-2 spurt to pull within one, 9-8, over the next two-and-a-half minutes but MT never let the lead slip away.
The margin would swell to a game-high 15 points, 27-12, as Clark drained the second of her two triples. Her two 3-pointers were part of a near-20 minute stretch, from 11:06 of the first half to 10:00 of the second half, in which she netted 29-straight Lady Raider points.
After the lead jumped to 15, however, the Spartans clawed back to within three, 27-24, behind a 12-0 spurt capped by treys from Keane, Jefferson and a pair of charity tosses by Keane at 4:51. Clark's layup at 4:28 stopped the surge, pushing the lead to five, a gap which would not be less the remainder of the half.
DeHaan posted the final points of the half on a layup with 36 seconds to play, closing the opening period with MT ahead, 38-32.
The Spartans recorded seven of the second half's first eight points to cut the margin to one, 40-39. Again, however, the Blue Raiders would not allow the home team to take the lead on its home court. Three-and-a-half minutes later Keane drove in for a layup, following a steal, to put Michigan State ahead for the first time, 45-44, with 13:13 remaining.
Over the next nine minutes, Middle Tennessee pushed its advantage back to seven, 57-50, on a Brown 3-pointer with 4:24 to play. The Spartans then outscored the Lady Raiders 10-2 down the stretch, reclaiming the lead it would not relinquish on a 3-pointer from Mia Johnson with 1:10 left on the first points after Clark fouled out at the 1:36 mark.
Brown brought the Blue Raiders within one and had the final chance at the end, but could not get a shot away in the final 10 seconds.
The game marked the 12th NCAA Tournament appearance in school history, dropping MT's record to 5-12 in the annual championship event. It also marked game No. 34 of the campaign, matching the program record for most in a single season.
All 11 players will return in 2009-10 for head coach Rick Insell's fifth season and will be joined by five incoming student-athletes, all hailing from the state of Tennessee.MIDDLE TENNESSEE POST-GAME QUOTES
Forward Alysha Clark
On Allyssa DeHaan blocking the whole time...
I expected her to be on me the whole time. Coach said they would probably put her on me to counter the lack of size. I know she is 6-9 and I'm only 5-10 so she is going to get some blocked shots. You can't stop going at somebody just because they're bigger.
On Michigan State making the runs they made...
We knew they were going to have their runs. They're a good team and they didn't get here by mistake so we knew they'd have their runs. I think the mistakes we made on defense are what really hurt us. Missing match-up assignments, not getting rebounds and rushing our offense, all of those really hurt us. They took advantage of that and it hurt us.
On MSU drawing charges on purpose...
I think they did. (Aisha) Jefferson got a couple of charges on me and I think they were looking to do that. I'm pretty sure their coach stressed that to them in good defensive position to take a charge and it's my mistake for continuing to go in there with four fouls so they did a good job on that.
Guard Chelsia Lymon
On the last four minutes...
The last four minutes we kind of rushed our offense a little bit. We went away from things in our offense that were working. Then they came back and went to their power players which were (Aisha) Jefferson and (Allyssa) DeHaan. They capitalized on us making mistakes on offense.
On the final play...
The final play was set up and we ran it just like coach drew it up. Brandi Brown somehow didn't catch the ball and threw it out which made the time go by a little bit faster when she threw it out. We threw it back into her, and I think she had another chance to make a shot, but she just missed the ball.
On the height of MSU...
It didn't bother us much. We knew coming in that they were a big team. I think a lot of times, in my case, we were trying to get the ball away from them with lay-ups and we were missing them and they were blocking them. Coming in, I knew they were going to be tall but I don't think it played too much of a big difference because we've been playing teams that have been taller and bigger than us all year.
On Alysha Clark fouling out...
Coach puts us in different scenarios in practice and when she fouled out I didn't think twice about it. I knew someone else had to step up. It had been awhile since she fouled out so it was a quick adjustment and we had to find out who was going to make the big play down the stretch. We passed it to the person we wanted the ball down to.
Head Coach Rick Insell
Opening statement...
I'm very proud of the season our young ladies had. They played hard and we hate to see it end this way. Michigan State played a good, tough game and did some things to us that they had to do. They were successful and you have to give them credit. They did a very good job. I'm also proud of our young ladies for coming into this environment and playing as tough and as hard as they did.
On defensive mistakes in the second half...
They had a couple of defensive assignments and traps set on the left sideline and down in the key trying to get a cheap basket. Then it was a put back on a rebound and then the three. Anne Marie (Lanning) and Jackie (Pickel) needed to get some help on that and they gave it to their best three-point shooter. It was the first open look she had all day and she knocked it down. In games like this, you can't have breakdowns like that and we did, which was uncharacteristic of us. They took advantage of them and that's what a good team is supposed to do and they did that late. It was a heck of a time to have those breakdowns. Games like this hinge on a play or two, and you don't know if they come early or they come late and these plays came late.
On Alysha Clark's play...
I felt like she did a really good job early. To start the second half, which was uncharacteristic of us, we came out and she was facing the basket from 14 feet away and the big girl got in her head a little bit. I'd say she would have gotten in my head, too. She came out and faced the basket and that opened her up for some charges and they took a couple. There was a block coming off one of our inbounds plays that I thought was questionable. I think they maybe held her there, but it could have gone either way and they called it a charge. I saw her kind of get emotional with what was going on and I thought that might be trouble down the stretch. Then she attacked the basket, which she is supposed to do, and she got the charge.
On the team's last offensive possession...
I felt like we opened Anne Marie (Lanning) up on the wing out there and she came off and made the right pass to Brandi (Brown) and then she kicked it back out and when she kicked it back out it took more time off the clock, but we didn't have any more time outs. We went back into Brandi and I think the big kid might have deflected the basketball but I'm not sure. We entered the ball high and probably shouldn't have entered the ball high, but she was a force in there. If you had to look at one thing, every time they took her out we were able to have our way. They had to keep her in and she played 33 minutes and that's more than she's been playing. You have to say that she the difference in the ball game.
On Alysha Clark's streak of 27 straight points...
Our offense is set up where we're going to enter the ball to that position whether it's Alysha or Brandi (Brown) or whomever. They make decisions off of that. Michigan State did a great job with the big kid underneath in altering her shot. They also matched up outside with our shooters. We didn't really get any open looks. I think Jackie (Pickel) got two open looks there late, and she knocked one of them down and the other one rattled. I think at that point we might have been up seven when that shot rattled. If that three goes in, we're up 10 with less than three minutes to go. So their strategy worked. We don't really look at that situation with who is getting all the points. If Alysha is scoring, we're going back to her.
On the team's three-point shooting...
I would have liked to hit a few more. Everybody on our basketball team has the green light. We may force some shots sometimes that we don't need to. A team like us that has the size that we have and we haven't got a whole lot of lack of quickness, we have to take advantage of that. The difference in the basketball game was the big kid. Anybody else they put on Clark meant she had her way. When you have the 6-9 kid in there that is making her have to alter her shot and not having to foul her and you'll able to match up outside, it shuts us down on what we want to do.

Although it's a "slow" time for the local sports scene with high schools out for the summer, there's still plenty going on. In fact, for some local prep athletes, this is their busy time.
With year-round sports, you have many of the best from the area on the diamonds with travel baseball and softball teams, hitting the hardwood with AAU and other club basketball teams, and sweating up a storm on football fields as skill players are going through seven-on-seven tournaments and linemen are in camps around the Southeast.
So much for the "slow" time.
And for many, the high school golf season is just a tuneup for the junior circuit. Summer means constant play, and while the heat may not make every round pleasant, it's best to remember the old adage that a bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at work.
Six of the area's top junior golfers will compete in the Georgia State Golf Association's 47th Annual Georgia Junior Championship starting today at Albany's Doublegate Country Club.
Rocky Face's Ethan Hayes and Tucker Snipes, Chatsworth's Christoph Kazmeirski and Colby Hipp, Dalton's Patrick Sims and Cohutta's Silas Ledford will attack the 7,024-yard, par-72 course in southwest Georgia. The junior state tournament is a 54-hole, stroke-play event, with the field cut to the low 70 and ties after the second round on Tuesday.
Results will be posted after each round at gsga.org and we will also keep you updated in these pages as play progresses.
And here's a look at what else is going on:
• The annual Stump on Sports Tennessee-Georgia All-Star Classic competitions wrap up this week with baseball on Tuesday and softball on Wednesday.
Tennessee's Ooltewah High will play host to the nine-inning baseball game — first pitch is at 6 p.m. — with Dalton's Bobby Brotherton coaching the Georgia team of recent high school seniors. Brotherton led Georgia to a 3-2 win over Tennessee in the 2009 version of the game for the Peach State's lone victory in the series.
Former Dalton standout and Tennessee Temple signee Carter Gillean will represent the area on the Georgia roster. Baseball was originally scheduled for last Monday, but rain forced the postponement of the annual affair.
The softball doubleheader will begin at 6 p.m. at Chattanooga's Frost Stadium. The Georgia team will be coached by Dana Reed Mull from Class 2A state champion Gordon Lee. Dalton's Chandler McKinney is the lone representative from the area.
• If you are a NASCAR fan who just loves a day relaxing by the pool, the combination of speed and swimming will be on display as the Dalton Dolphins play host to rival Signal Mountain (Tenn.) at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Dalton Recreation Center pool on Civic Drive.
In local swimming circles, Dalton vs. Signal Mountain — nicknamed the Green Giants — is comparable to Duke-North Carolina in basketball, Georgia-Florida in football and Braves-Phillies in baseball.
The Chattanooga Area Swim League's short-yardage dual meets put an emphasis on sprints, so they are always fast-paced and exciting. Plus, when it's Dalton and Signal Mountain — regularly the top teams in the league's top-level Blue Division — the pool is also filled with some of the CASL's best talent.
• In case you just moved to the area, soccer is a pretty big deal here, and local fans will get a special treat on July 7.
Club America will take on Pachuca FC at Chattanooga's Finley Stadium in a battle of professional teams from the Mexican premier league. But the bonus attraction is the coach of Pachuca FC — Mexican soccer legend Hugo Sanchez.
Known for his somersaults after scoring goals and his acrobatic abilities to make spectacular scoring appear effortless, Sanchez enjoyed a 20-year professional career, including his best years with Real Madrid.
If you are too young to remember Sanchez or you weren't into soccer during his heyday, do a Google search or catch some of his videos on YouTube. Then you will realize while soccer fans around the world have attached the word legend to his name.
First touch at Finley will be at 8 p.m. and tickets, which are available through Ticketmaster, range from $35 to $45.

Croydon Director of Public Health appointed
7:50am Sunday 19th August 2012 in Local news By Nick Hitchens, Assistant Editor
The NHS and Croydon Council have appointed the borough's first Director of Public Health.
Dr Mike Robinson, who is currently Director of Public Health and Medical Director for the London Borough of Hounslow PCT and Head of the London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex School of Public Health, will join Croydon in autumn ahead of changes to the way public health is managed next year.
The changes will see the NHS hand responsibility for public health – issues such as smoking rates, obesity and sexual health – to the council from April.
Dr Robinson will be employed by NHS South West London until April 13 when the council will step in.
He said: "I am delighted to accept the post of Director of Public Health. Croydon has a proud tradition of public health action and I look forward to building on this in partnership with others."
Designate accountable officer for Croydon Clinical Commissioning Group, which includes 66 GP practices, Paula Swann said: "I'm delighted Mike Robinson will be joining us in Croydon. He brings with him over 10 years' experience in public health roles and a wealth of skills and knowledge.
"This joint appointment with Croydon Council gives us the opportunity to create a truly borough-wide strategy for developing effective public health programmes that will improve the health of our local population in Croydon."
Chief Executive of Croydon Council, Jon Rouse said: "We are very pleased with Mike's appointment and look forward to welcoming him to Croydon. We will give him all the support he needs as we plan the transfer of public health services to the council from next April."

On Set of T.I., Kendrick Lamar, and B.o.B's 'Memories Back Then' Video
T.I. took over L.A. while shooting the video for "Memories Back Then" on Wednesday. The Trouble Man outtake, which leaked last year, previously sampled Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," and features Kendrick Lamar and Hustle Gang's own B.o.B and singer-songwriter Kris Stephens.
Director Phillyflyboy filmed the crew throughout different locations around the city. Kendrick Lamar pulled up to the scene in his own car while shooting downtown on the 6th Street Bridge.
T.I. and B.o.B soaked up the sun beachside at the Santa Monica Pier, and Kendrick met up with them later in the evening in the Hollywood Hills for the last shot of the day.
Check out some behind-the-scenes pics below.

Reporting from Mexico City — Angered by a prison fire in Honduras that officials say killed more than 350 trapped inmates, rights advocates on Wednesday decried dangerous and overcrowded conditions that they say have long typified the country's neglected prison system.
Officials said at least 356 people were confirmed dead by late Wednesday, after the blaze a day earlier consumed half the prison in the town of Comayagua in central Honduras. The toll is the highest from any prison fire in modern history.

Fredric Magis, 49, of Plainfield, was charged with a class 1 felony theft after being convicted of stealing over $300,000 from an Oswego business.
Magis, an employee of KR & G Excavating Partners LLC and Stonehill Leasing, Inc., was found to be making unauthorized purchases with the companies' credit cards and also transacting unauthorized wire transfers from the companies' bank accounts and using other company monies for unauthorized purchases.
The thefts occurred between Jan. 1, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2011. Oswego Police discovered the companies' credit cards and bank accounts were used to finance a 2007 Cruisers 300 CXI boat, airline tickets, cruises, flooring for his home, other online purchases, medical bills, food and gasoline, and to make payments to his own credit cards.
The total amount stolen is in excess of 300,000 between KR & G Excavating and Stonehill Leasing.
"This is a case where the trust of a local business was betrayed by its own employee. It is hard to believe that someone who works side by side with you can be stealing from you," said State's Attorney Weis.
"Hopefully, this case will serve as a reminder that anyone can be a victim of financial theft. Business owners should review their financial activities regularly and put safeguards in place to prevent this type of theft from occurring in the first place."
Magis will be required to serve two years of mandatory supervised release following his 10-year sentence.
Restitution was addressed in a separate civil action filed against Magis by the business owners.
Weis said this has been the largest employee theft case handled in his office in the last five years

WKRN-TV Nashville: Studies of film tax credits show economic benefits for states
William Fox, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, co-authored a study on behalf of the Motion Picture Association of America about the economic benefits of film production tax incentives for states and analyzed the most effective framework for evaluating the economic success of film incentive programs. WKRN-TV Nashville highlighted the work in this story.
The study, which Fox co-authored with Ernst and Young LLP, examines the objectives of film credit programs, explains the methodologies used to estimate the economic benefits of film credit programs and discusses the approaches used to analyze the film credits in a number of recent state studies about the effectiveness of film credits. Film credits are currently in use in 37 states.
