UPDATED: 9:40 p.m.
A 71-year-old woman was transported to the hospital Sunday night following a two-vehicle wreck at Polkville and West Zion Church roads.
A 49-year-old Shelby woman was driving a white Chevrolet truck south on Polkville Road. The 71-year-old driver, from Lawndale, attempted to turn left onto Polkville Road from West Zion Church Road when she collided with the truck driver, according to NC Highway Patrol Trooper Ricky Hall.
The vehicles crash happened about 8:45 p.m.
There were no additional passengers in either vehicle, Hall said.
"There were no witnesses to the wreck," Hall said. "The truck driver didn't seem to be speeding."
The elderly woman was taken to Carolinas Medical Center and listed in stable condition. The truck driver refused treatment at the scene, noting she didn't feel any pain, Hall said.
Shattered glass covered parts of Polkville Road as oncoming traffic came to a standstill.
Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department firefighters helped move the damaged truck into a nearby gas station parking lot. A headlight dangled from the truck's misshapen grill. The impact crumbled the driver's side front and back doors on the Kia.
No charges stemmed from the wreck as of Sunday night.

Matt Giteau has decided to extend his stay with French club Toulon, putting an end to his Wallabies career.
Giteau made his decision based on the realisation that he won't make the Wallabies squad with Robbie Deans as head coach.
After Deans instilled Giteau as his first-choice No 10 in 2008, their relationship soured after the player delivered inconsistent performances. This saw the Kiwi omit the veteran from Wallabies' 2011 World Cup squad.
There was a chance for Giteau to return home in 2013 ahead of the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia, but he decided to sign a two-year extension with French Top 14 club Toulon.
'Yes, I have brought a curtain down on my chances of ever playing for my country again,' Giteau told smh.com.au. 'But with the coach who is in charge of them at the moment, I don't have much of a chance of being called up in any case.
'Even if I had returned to Australia, a condition of being available again for selection, I would maybe not have been recalled.'
Giteau made his international debut in 2002 and has played in 96 Tests. He also won two Super Rugby titles with the Brumbies.

The Crusaders deservedly won at Newlands for a third successive time.
The visitors triumphed 19-14 after the Stormers led 11-nil midway through the first half.
The Stormers attacked the Crusaders tryline in the final three minutes but found no way through a defensive structure that had not been made to work for much of the game.
The attack was frantic but the defence was dominant and had the Stormers stolen a victory it would have been an injustice.
I had the Stormers to win – and win comfortably. The Crusaders were without Kieran Read, Dan Carter, Israel Dagg and of course there is no Richie McCaw until after June. They then lost All Blacks prop Owen Franks within 20 minutes but it did not appear to hamper the visitors and they were the stronger team throughout.
The Crusaders had control for most of the match but were helped by a charitable Stormers lineout and set piece that never found the form of a week ago, when the Stormers beat the Brumbies.
The Cape Crusaders supporters will rightfully be cheering all Easter. I had them to be in tears but then I never banked on Andries Bekker and hooker Deon Fourie failing to find each other on six occasions.
All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock was superb in the set piece and a difficult wind, coupled by the Stormers insistence to go long in the lineout, played into Whitelock's grateful hands.
The Crusaders started well, then the Stormers hit back with 11 points within 15 minutes, but thereafter it was all the Crusaders until the final three minutes.
Bekker, outstanding against the Brumbies, was off his lineout game in front of 48 000, and for the Stormers to be effective Bekker has to be ruling the lineout. This was not the case and it was a night in which (Sam) Whitelock outplayed his Bok foe.
It was a night in which the Crusaders, by the man, were better than the Stormers.
Flyhalf Tyler Bleyendaal was named man of the match for the manner in which he controlled proceedings. The young flyhalf kicked brilliantly to the corners, played the percentages to perfection and was accurate in his goal kicking.
The Crusaders, the only team with a historical 50 percent away record in the tournament, have now won six of 10 matches against the Stormers at Newlands.
And the latest one was as comprehensive as any, despite the five points differential.

Klobuchar Holds Joint Economic Committee Hearing Focusing on Bipartisan Solutions to Reduce Long-Term Unemployment
Klobuchar stressed the need for common-sense policies that help more Americans get back to work by investing in skills training and encouraging stronger partnerships between businesses and educational institutions
Klobuchar also released a new report today examining long-term unemployment in the U.S., finding that while the overall job market has improved, significant challenges remain for the long-term unemployed
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), today held a hearing focusing on bipartisan solutions for reducing long-term unemployment. Klobuchar emphasized the role of skills training and continuing education in helping unemployed Americans find jobs and called for bipartisan policies to move these efforts forward. Klobuchar also released a Democratic staff report today outlining the continuing challenge of long-term unemployment and highlighting the need to take action.
"While the overall job market has improved, the persistent challenge of long-term unemployment underscores the need for bipartisan policies to help people get back on their feet," Klobuchar said. "From making sure our workers have the skills they need to compete in the 21st-century economy to fostering partnerships between schools and local businesses, I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help Americans get back to work."
According to the report Vice Chair Klobuchar released today, over the last six months private sector employers have added more than 1.2 million jobs and the national unemployment rate is now at its lowest point since 2008. But while the economic landscape has improved for most Americans, challenges remain for nearly five million workers who make up the long-term unemployed.
The report found that long-term unemployment is disproportionately affecting workers at the times in their life when they are most in need of stable employment. Younger workers who are just beginning their careers and often have student loans to pay off are experiencing the highest rates of long-term unemployment. Meanwhile, although the unemployment rate for older workers is low, those who do become unemployed are less likely to find new jobs quickly. For workers of all ages, the report finds that the longer a person is unemployed, the less likely they are to find a job as skills atrophy and networks dry up.
Klobuchar has long championed workforce development and skills training initiatives as important tools for helping unemployed workers get back on the job. She has worked on policies that would give states greater incentives for evaluating current and future workforce needs, as well as legislation designed to encourage partnerships between employers and their local community colleges. In her role as Vice Chair of the JEC, Klobuchar is focused on strengthening the economy by promoting innovation, entrepreneurship and exports.

Play the Piano introduces Charles Bukowski's poetry from the 1970s. He leads a life full of gambling and booze but also finds love. These poems are full of lechery and romance as he struggles to mature.
About the Author
Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

Box Score
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – The Pfeiffer baseball team dropped a hard fought non-conference matchup against the visiting Brevard Tornados on Thursday afternoon at Joe Ferebee Field. The Falcons were outhit ten to seven and outscored 4-1 in the loss. With the loss, Pfeiffer falls to 24-16 and Brevard improves to 16-25 on the season.

Pfeiffer retaliated in the bottom of the third inning as Tyler Summers singled through the left side with runners on the corners. Kevin Price crossed the plate for the Falcons only run as they clawed back into the game, trailing 2-1.
Despite giving up a run, Brevard tacked on two more runs in the top of the fourth inning. After walking the bases loaded, Craig Jacobelli gave up another two run single to left field. The Tornados extended the lead to 4-1, a lead that would not change for the remainder of the game.
The Falcons only accounted for four more hits over the next six innings as Kevin Hamilton buckled down to finish off the complete game victory for Brevard.
Jacobelli fell to 1-2 on the season as he picked up the loss while pitching five innings, giving up four runs on six hits.

ORGANISERS of the Lake District's 11th annual air extravaganza, taking place on July 23 and 24, have revealed their display line-up.
The Windermere Air Festival kicks off on the Saturday with the breathtaking acrobatics of the Breitling Wing Walkers, performing a sequence of manoeuvres and handstands whilst strapped to the top wings of the team's Boeing Stearman biplanes.
First day visitors will also be treated to the RedHawks' air show act with a slow, gentle and graceful four-minute, three-dimensional aerial ballet performed to soothing music by a pair of 42 year-old, wooden, high-efficiency aeroplanes, designed by French musician, artist, ceramicist and sculptor Réné Fournier.
Another Saturday highlight will be the RAF Falcons parachute display team, now in their 50th year.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will grace the skies above Windermere on both days with special flights from the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster Bomber.
The RV8tors will be flying their remarkably fast Vans RV-8's with powerful smoke systems, performing an exciting and memorable display.
Combining close formation aerobatics with speeds up to 230 mph, the display makes large manoeuvres that fill the sky and leave big smoke trails.
Also appearing at the festival will be the RAF Tucano and the RAF Hawk.
Both spectacular in their own right the Hawk display team will demonstrate the professional excellence of the RAF while the Tucano display consists of 21 manoeuvres including an offset barrel roll, stall turn, oblique loop and reverse wingover.
On Sunday, the Twister Duo will create a display of formation barrel loops, rolls and gravity defying zoom climbs.
The highlight of the weekend is set to be the renowned ambassadors of the RAF and everyone's favourite – The Red Arrows.
Having missed last year's Lakeland air show, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, have been confirmed to headline 2011's festival.

He was educated at nearby St Bee's School, in Cumbria.
Mr Bagnall said: "We are really looking forward to displaying at Windermere.
"It's a stunning location and will definitely be a highlight of the display season for me.
"I can't wait to meet the crowd when I'm on the ground at the show doing the commentary for the Team.
"You get a real buzz from seeing how the audience reacts to the displays."
The RAF Red Arrows have been wowing audiences since their first season in 1965, they have flown over 4,000 displays in 52 countries.
Today the Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world,acting as ambassadors for Great Britain when displaying overseas.
They also support UK industry by demonstrating the capabilities of British equipment and expertise.
Lucy Bennett, a director of the air festival, said: "It's such a coup for us to host the Red Arrows this year.
"They put on such a fantastic display and really add some excitement to the programme.
"The highly acclaimed displays are filled full of twists, turns, drama and excitement - they are definitely not one to be missed."
Attractions on the ground at the Air Base include the military village, battle re-enactments and flying simulator, new kids have-a-go activities plus face painting, circus skills, music and great local food stalls.

THOUSANDS of punters flocked to Cartmel Races for the course's biggest meeting of the year, spread over three days.
The traditional Bank Holiday Monday event attracted a crowd of 16,000 to watch the seven races.
Jonathan Garratt, Cartmel Racecourse managing director, said the bookies did not fare too badly.
"I think it has been mixed; they have had some favourites going in but I'm sure they have had ups and downs."
Punters successfully backed legendary racer Tony McCoy, who appeared on Monday.
Yesterday, too, proved a rare highlight for racegoers as three Cheltenham Festival horses went on parade for Veterans Day.
Chief Dan George, who is trained just a mile from Cartmel by Jimmy Moffatt, was joined by Mister McGoldrick and Hussard Collonges.
"We have had a lot of people who are on half-term holiday but it's also the day when racing enthusiasts from all over the country come and have their day at Cartmel because the course is slightly less overcrowded," said Mr Garratt.
Meanwhile, a racing steward became the first person to join an exclusive Cartmel 'club'.
Officiating at Saturday's races signalled a landmark for Colin Vickers — it meant he had visited every racecourse in Britain.
Cartmel Racecourse chairman Lord Cavendish presented Mr Vickers with a souvenir badge, which coincided with the launch of an I've Saved The Best Until Last club.
Anyone completing a visit to all Britain's racecourses with a trip to Cartmel will now receive one of the specially-commissioned badges.
Mr Garratt said: "When I came here I was amazed how many people said they had been to every other racecourse before they tasted the unique delights of Cartmel.
"I realised that they were saving the best until last."

The Lusitania sailed on May 1st 1915 from New York bound for Liverpool. The sinking of the Lusitania was thought to have made a major impact on America and World War One, but America did not join the war for another two years.
As the Lusitania had sailed from New York, she had on board American civilians and in 1915 America was neutral in World War One. As she left New York, the dock was crowded with news reporters as New York newspapers had carried an advert in them paid for by the German Embassy that any ship that sailed into the "European War Zone" was a potential target for German submarines. Some newspapers printed the warning directly next to Cunard's list of departure dates.
Regardless of this, the Cunard liner was packed with passengers. Many had received an anonymous telegram advising them not to travel but the ship was billed by Cunard as the "fastest and largest steamer now in the Atlantic service" and it was generally believed that the Lusitania had the power to outpace any ship above or below the water. Many of the passengers came to the simple conclusion that a luxury liner simply was not a legitimate target of the Germans as it had no military value. Any passenger who had doubts was given further confidence when many famous and rich people boarded. It was assumed that the likes of multi-millionaire Alfred Vanderbilt and wine merchant George "Champagne King" Kessler and the like would have had access to information from the highest of sources to warn them if danger really did exist.
As the 32,000 ton luxury liner left New York, the passengers turned their attention to what the liner had to offer them as fee paying customers. One female passenger said:
|I don't think we thought of war. It was too beautiful a passage to think of anything like war."
The Lusitania crossed the half-way point of her journey at night on May 4th. Around this time, the U-boat U20 appeared off the Irish coast off the Old Head of Kinsdale. U20 was captained by Kapitän-leutnant Schwieger. In all, there were about 15 German U boats in the "European War Zone" - the zone that the Lusitania was about to move into. U20 had left its base at Emden on April 31st 1915. In its journey to the Atlantic it had attacked a Danish merchant ship but let it go once its Danish flag had been spotted. An old three-masted schooner was also attacked by U20; its crew was allowed to escape in their life rafts and then the schooner was sunk. But Schwieger did not consider this 'action' as he and his crew would have appreciated.
May 6th brought better targets for U20. Medium-sized liners called the 'Candidate' and the 'Centurion' were both attacked and sunk. Neither sinking led to any casualties - though Schwieger had not given a warning to either ship. At 19.50 on May 6th, the Lusitania received the first of a number of warnings from the Admiralty about U-boat activity off the south coast of Ireland. The crew went through a number of safety drills and some watertight bulkheads were closed. But the night passed without further incident.
The next day, May 7th, the Lusitania came into sight of the Irish coast. The ship's captain, Captain Turner, became concerned as he could see no other ship ahead of him - more especially, he was concerned that he could see no protective naval ships. It was as if all other ships had cleared the waters as a result of the Admiralty's warning.
At 13.40 on May 7th, Turner could see the Old Head of Kinsdale - a well known sighting for any experienced sailor in the region. At around the same time, the Lusitania was spotted by U20. The first torpedo was fired at 14.09. At 14.10, Schwieger noted in his log:
hits starboard side right behind bridge. An unusually heavy detonation
follows with a strong explosion cloud..."
Schwieger noted later
"great confusion on board... they must have lost their heads."
The Lusitania took just eighteen minutes to sink. The speed and the angle of sinking made it extremely difficult to launch the life boats and the first one that did get into the water spilled its occupants into the sea.
1,153 passengers and crew drowned. 128 of them were Americans. There was understandable anger throughout America and Great Britain. But some questions remained unanswered by those who condemned the attack:
why did the liner only take 18 minutes to sink? The log of U20 stated clearly that the submarine had only fired one torpedo and Schwieger stated that this was the case. His log also noted that the torpedo caused an unusually large explosion.
why was a second explosion seen if no second torpedo was fired? This second explosion presumably speeded up the whole process of the Lusitania sinking.
with such a high profile ship crossing the Atlantic and after warnings from the Germans and the Admiralty, why were there no British naval boats in the vicinity to protect the Lusitania?
It is thought that a second
explosion occurred because the Lusitania was carrying something more than a
liner should have been carrying. In the hold of the Lusitania were 4,200 cases
of small arms ammunition - an insignificant quantity when compared to the
millions of bullets being used in each battle on the Western
Front. However, by carrying ammunition, the Lusitania was carrying war
contraband and she was therefore a legitimate target for the German U boat fleet
in the Atlantic. The British propaganda machine went into overdrive condemning
the sinking as an act of piracy. The "Times" referred to the sinking
by condemning those who doubted German brutality:
|"the hideous policy of indiscriminate brutality which has placed the German race outside of the pale. The only way to restore peace in the world, and to shatter the brutal menace, is to carry the war throughout the length and breadth of Germany. Unless Berlin is entered, all the blood which has been shed will have flowed in vain"
To placate the Americans,
the Germans gave an informal assurance to President Wilson of America, that
there would be no repeat of the Lusitania and the 'sink on sight' policy was
called off on September 18th 1915 - though it was re-introduced on February 1st
"The Lusitania". HistoryLearningSite.co.uk. 2014. Web.

By Laura Foster-Bobroff, Networx
'Tis the season for home sales and with it comes the demand for home inspections -- an indispensable tool that can help buyers make an informed decision about a property and aid them in negotiating purchase price.
Home inspections offer valuable information about the general condition of a home, outlining areas requiring minor and major repairs and pinpointing deficiencies in building structure. The complex task of assessing a home is more difficult because of the prevalence of myths attached to the process of home inspection. For the real facts on what you can expect here's a few of the worst misconceptions, along with expert advice from Marvin Goldstein, President of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI):
MYTH: Everything I need to know will be included in the inspection report.
FACT: "This is one of the biggest misunderstandings," says Goldstein, adding, "you pay good money for an inspection report, but that doesn't mean you don't need to go along."
The report will give you excellent information and will point out weaknesses about smoke detectors, heating systems, etc. but a homeowner can also get more out of an inspection if they tag along. "Inspectors are usually generous in giving homeowners maintenance tips and advice in almost all the areas of a home, and by attending the inspection, it will clarify things in writing, eliminating future misunderstanding. It's a real learning experience and a good way for a homeowner to get familiar with the property."
MYTH: An appraisal is just as comprehensive as a home inspection; or, if I have a really good appraisal, it won't be necessary to have a home inspection.
FACT: Home inspections and home appraisals are NOT the same. As ridiculous as it sounds, some homeowners end up assuming a comprehensive appraisal has covered all the bases. But Goldstein says, "ASHI's general accountability office conducted a survey and found a vast majority of people – more than 20% - were under the impression they had a house inspection when, in fact, all they had was an appraisal."
Sometimes they get this impression from real estate agents. Even if your real estate agent recommends a home inspection, Goldstein warns consumers to seek an independent assessment because of the conflict of interest. "Real estate agents, even buyer's agents, are obligated to cater to the interests of the seller."
MYTH: A home inspector should be able to tell me everything that can potentially go wrong with the home I'd like to purchase.
FACT: A home inspector is required to report the things that are not functioning properly, especially if they're unsafe. They will also inform you when certain components and systems are at the end of their service life such as worn-out heating, plumbing or electrical systems.
They cannot predict with accuracy, however, when things will go wrong because they can only account for variables present at the time of inspection. For example, you may buy a home with a roof that's seen better days. The home inspector reports there is no sign of water damage and in the first winter you experience major leaks from ice dams. It isn't due to faulty inspection services even if the inspector agreed you could probably put off getting a new roof for a few more years. The inspector will only report wear and tear on the existing roof and provide you with recommendations for the lack of improper attic insulation - the cause of the formation of ice dams in the first place.
To put expectations in perspective, Goldstein reminds consumers to keep in mind, "A home inspector doesn't have X-ray vision and can't see through walls and floors. A home inspection is not an exhaustive engineering analysis, nor will your inspector take apart components for inspection. It's a snapshot – a professional observation of existing conditions by someone with a trained eye."

Being down two players isn't the ideal situation for a coach in any sport, but the Liberty boys volleyball team still made the most of the situation.
Missing hitter Nick Archer and libero Adam Pickard to injury, the Patriots were able to defeat the visiting Westerville South Wildcats in three games, 25-17, 25-18, 29-27 Tuesday night at Liberty High School.
Coach David Hale called on junior varsity players Michael Linse and Garrett Ackard to fill the two missing spots, and along with hitter Josh Pollner, Liberty (11-2) was able to pull out the three-game win thanks in large part to superior passing and hitting.
"We had a lot of guys step up," Hale said. "With Nick and Adam out with injuries, we played with a couple of rookies tonight. It's nice to have a 6-8 guy to sub in for your other 6-8 guy, and I thought Michael Linse did a tremendous job as our libero tonight. It's nice to have guys to fill those spots and allow us to carry on."
But Westerville South (3-7) never surrendered in any of the three games, especially the third, when the Wildcats were a point away from sending the match to a fourth game twice.
"Westerville South battled through the whole match," Hale said. "They have some guys who can hit the ball, and they had some good serves, too. It wasn't an easy match at all."
Liberty built up big leads in the opening game, getting solid service runs and kills from Tyler Menges, Alec Charbonneau, Pollner, Phil Cheesman and Tyler Shirey to take a 13-5 lead.
Westerville South closed within four points, 18-14, shortly after the beginning of the second rotation, but aces from Charbonneau and Pollner, plus a kill from Chase Wagner helped the Patriots to the game one victory.
Liberty again built a lead early in the second game, taking an 11-5 advantage on kills from Cheesman, Charbonneau and Shirey, also helped by a five-point service run from Cheesman that included one ace.
The Wildcats closed within two points after that at 12-10, then trimmed the Patriot lead to three twice after that, but aces from Pollner and Wagner and kills from Shirey and Cheesman helped Liberty to the game two win.
Game three was a different matter. Westerville South pulled ahead early and held leads of two and three points five times through the first rotation.
"I told our guys they were going to come after us in game three," Hale said. "All season long, the third game is when our opponents usually come out swinging, and sometimes you have a little bit of a let down, which I thought we had, but we still had a lot of guys step up tonight."
Down 14-11 in the second rotation, the Patriots rallied back to take a 15-14 lead before the Wildcats took back serve and scored eight of the next 11 points to hold a 22-18 advantage.
But after a set error gave a point and the service back to Liberty, the Patriots rallied with Shirey at the line. Pollner recorded a block and kill, Shirey aced his next serve, and following a time out, Pollner blocked down another Wildcat attempt to tie the game at 22-all. A Wildcat error then put Liberty ahead.
Westerville North rallied within game point after three kills, but a service error gave Liberty a chance to seal the game at 26-25, but a service error tied the score again.
Another Wildcat kill put Liberty on the brink of a fourth game, but Cheesman took a set from Charbonneau for a kill that tied the game at 27, and two Wildcat errors with Pollner serving ended the match.
Shirey topped all hitters with 10 kills, adding three blocks and a pair of assists while going a perfect 13 of 13 on service with an ace. Menges and Cheesman had eight kills and a block apiece, Cheesman going 13 of 14 on service with two aces.
Pollner added four kills, six blocks and an assist while going 18 of 21 from the service line with three aces, and Charbonneau was solid on sets with 18 assists on the evening while adding three kills and going 12 of 14 on serve with two aces.

That would be great to get the JAZZ name back where it belongs
Huge story on Page D6 of today's New York Times Sport Section - I looked for the article posted online but couldn't find it, so I'll just type it out here. (Its credited to Bloomberg News, so maybe someone can find an electronic copy on their news wire)
If the N.B.A.'s Hornets move to New Orleans from Charlotte, one of the team's co-owners would "love nothing more" than to reacquire the Jazz nickname.
"There's no better description for the team down there than the Jazz," the Hornets' co-owner Ray Wooldridge said in a telephone interview.
Obtaining the Jazz nickname, however, would require an agreement between the Hornets and the Utah Jazz owner, Larry Miller, who did not return phone calls.
The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City from New Orleans in 1979, thought the team's nickname didn't change.
It is common for teams to keep their nicknames, even though they no longer have a geographical tie. For example, the Lakers kept their nickname after moving from Minneapolis. The Memphis team, which moved from Vancouver, is still the Grizzlies.
N.B.A. Commissioner David Stern visited New Orleans on Wednesday with a seven-member committee of owners that will recommend to the league's board of governors whether the proposed move should be allowed. The Hornets need a majority of the N.B.A.'s 29 teams to approve their request. Owners probably will vote during their next regularly scheduled meeting April 8 or 9. (Bloomberg News)
That would be great to get the JAZZ name back where it belongs
Don't count on it. Just because Woolridge wants the Jazz name (who doesn't) doesn't mean that the Jazz want to give it up.
Interesting though to hear that Wooldridge is not attached to keeping the name "Hornets." This makes me think that there's a good chance that after the first season, if they aren't able to buy back the name Jazz, they will change it to something with a local flair.
The best names I've heard are:
Kingfish (currently used by the Baton Rouge ECHL team - but what a great nickname)
Reverlers sounds pretty good too. But, they should at least try to get the Jazz know matter how unlikely. You wonder why Salt Lake never changed it. Jazz has nothing to do with Salt Lake. Utah Mormons would be a better name.
To be fair, Utah has now been the Jazz longer than NO was the Jazz.
Still a mismatched nickname, though.
Kingfish is a terrible name...
I always said that Baton Rouge's ECHL team should be called the Red Sticks... and they could play using red hockey sticks..... it's PERFECT!
Anyway, if we can't get the Jazz name back, I'd be happy just keeping the Hornets name.
That way, they wouldn't have to change the URL for this web site.
Go Astros, Saints, LSU Tigers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and New Orleans Hornets!!!
The Bloomberg article had a little more detail and I include that below. Here is the Bloomberg link:
Hornets Co-Owner Would `Love Nothing More' Than Jazz Nickname
One consultant to professional sports teams said Utah's Miller might be wise to change his team's name.
Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based Sportscorp Ltd., said it's the perfect time for the Utah franchise to focus on the future.
Utah's best players are Karl Malone, 38, and John Stockton, who turns 40 on Tuesday. With their retirements not too far off, a new nickname might help create excitement after they depart, Ganis said.
``The name is so incongruous that I think it would benefit them,'' Ganis said. ``It'd be almost a new beginning.''
Wooldridge said he has ``no doubt'' owners will approve the move.
Initially, Wooldridge said, the team will be called the Hornets. If there's a chance to reclaim Jazz, then ``we'll get to that at some point,'' he said.
That's a good story SAY-WHAT I hope that the Utah owner reads it. It would be good for Utah I think. (Oh, and for N.O.)
Unfortunately, I don't think we have a chance to get the Jazz nickname. It's got too much history in Utah even though it's not suited for that state.
I guess we could stay with the Hornets. There logo is cool and the colors are really nice. Maybe we could just change the look like ya'll did on the front page.
They definitely need to tuff'n up that Hornets logo and the color scheme a bit.
I'm still for the New Orleans VooDoo. Hurricanes and Gators fit the area but they are already well known names in the NCAA. NewOrleansVoodoo.com is owned by someone selling bath oils and candles. I'm sure that the Hornets could easily buy the name from the current owner.
Other names that would work:
New Orleans Cayanne
New Orleans Pelicans
Louisisana Crawdaddys
New Orleans Jambalaya
Louisiana Mormons (can't resist throwing that one in).
I think Tom Benson owns the Pelican's name but I'm not sure about that.
NewOrleansPelicans.com is owned by a Chris Anderson in Dallas, TX. It's not being used right now however.
I am fine with Hornets.
I think if we try to get the Jazz and it fails we re-tool the Hornet Logo and that will still be a great name for the team. We need to New Orleans-ize the logo though.Originally posted by HORNETSFAN
I am fine with Hornets.
I am too.Originally posted by HORNETSFAN
I am fine with Hornets.
I'd love to see us make a run at getting the Jazz name. But realistically there's not much of a chance of that.
Since we are going to be the Hornets next year no matter what, we might as well remain the Hornets.
I'm with Harvey in that I cringe when I hear some of the local suggestions...many sound too forced or downright minor league.
Only exception would be the Pelicans...which is a fine name for a New Orleans sports team...steeped in tradition and flows well...espeically when shortened to "Pels". Benson does own the name. But I'm sure in the spirit of cooperation that he is now demonstrating, he'd be willing to part with it. Heck...he didn't use it on his arena team...opting for the arena-league sounding "VooDoo."
Still, overall, I'm fine with Hornets and look forward to many years cheering for them!
A football game can't stop hurricanes.
It can't fix levees.
Or rebuild houses.
But it can let a city know...
That it's a city once again.
Welcome back, New Orleans.
How is this for a semi-compromise if we can't get "Jazz" back. Keep the Hornets name, or whatever name, and try to bring back the purple, green, and gold colors? Accentuate the purple and green, even if mild, and minimize the gold so as not to interfere with the colors of the seats at the arena, which wooly liked. Just an idea.
Time for some football!!!
Change the name to New Orleans Gumbo and the dance team can b called the Taters like in a crawfish boil)

New Orleans VooDoo is already taken by Benson for his Arena Football Team.
Random thoughts...
+ After all this work to get the Hornets, I'd almost think you guys would want to keep that name.
+ Jazz would be fine, but that really is associated with Utah now, even though it doesn't fit.
+ I think it would be a crime to change a team name after one year. The Grizzlies should stay the Grizzlies now. All their fans rushed out and got Grizzlies gear, only to have to go back next year to get "Express" merchandise or whatever? I don't like that idea. Same with the Hornets. If they play even one season as the New Orleans Hornets, they should stay that for a while.
+ Why does that Marc Ganis get quoted in EVERY article about sports business? Has he ever been right? What did he do to become the authority on all things NBA?
+ Color-wise, the Bucks use purple-green-silver and a number of other teams use purple. Adding gold to the teal and purple might not be bad, though.
The Grizzlies should have moved to Chicago! (That was always a joke -- sort of.) Go Bulls! Go New Orleans Hornets!
That's exactly what I think. Just throw in a little purple and gold to the aqua and create a "horn"-type logo and suddenly you have a really jazzy HORNet thing going on that works really well for new orleans.How is this for a semi-compromise if we can't get "Jazz" back. Keep the Hornets name, or whatever name, and try to bring back the purple, green, and gold colors? Accentuate the purple and green, even if mild, and minimize the gold so as not to interfere with the colors of the seats at the arena, which wooly liked. Just an idea.
I love the idea of the new logo having the hornet playing a horn. that's perfect.

Developing Smart and Affordable Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Technologies: Five Trends to Watch
- Tuesday, 29 April 2014
Please Login at the top
of the page to download.
The demand for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) technology and infrastructure is growing significantly. For example, in the 10 years from 2002 to 2011, U.S. Defense spending on ISR grew by a factor of six, compared with relatively flat defense spending overall [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, 2012]. Similar patterns of spending can be seen around the globe. Simulation-based engineering has long played a role in advancing ISR technology development — from unmanned systems to antennas to systems and embedded software. The value proposition has long been proven.

We all know 2013 was a banner one for animals on the internet. From Instagram to YouTube, there were tons of places for them to let loose. But this year wasn't too shabby for cats and dogs at the ASPCA, either. They were the real winners, as always, and their lives just got better and better under our watch. Check out seven reasons why cats and dogs had an epic time of it at the ASPCA in 2013.
7. Free rides!
Puppies are rescued from a dog fighting site in Alabama.
6. Dancing with the stars.
A cat plays with reporter Michelle Beadle at the ASPCA.
5. Swimming lessons.
Remy the pit gets water therapy to repair her hind legs.
4. Scratches on the nose and behind the ears.
A kitty meets a potential adopter.
3. Cat videos, obvs.
Catching the top 10 cat videos of the year.
2. Treats, treats and more treats.
The Dog of the Year at the ASPCA Humane Awards.
A former fighting dog gets relief from a heavy collar.
All SOOO sweet...but those little puppy butts with the wagging tails broke my heart...to think some dirtbag was planning on raising those sweet babies to maul each other!
So glad their angels arrived in time...
This all reaffirms my belief in heaven...and in hell.
It's wonderful to see such care these deserving animals are given. Thank you all who go above and beyond to care for our needy friends.
ASPCA, you do great work! I chose PETA as my charity in 2013, but the next time the Combined Federal Campaign's open enrollment comes round, you're next on my list! THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR ANIMALS!
I agree with "yo". Those little puppies with the wagging tails are so cute. Thank God you guys rescued them. That's why I support the ASPCA, because I know it's going to a worthy cause. The kitty checking out it's potential adopter has the most beautiful eyes. She seems to bew saying, "Will you take care of me, and be good to me?"
Very nice! I'm SO glad I'm donating! I have three dogs and two cats. Of these 5, 3 are rescues and I'm happy I could do so!
i support and donate when i can to the ASPCA - they do more good than not! every org gets some bad news spread around (might have heard some rumors) but for the most part they get my vote. Every org has some wrong people working for them too! like in any business and/or jog etc. when giving always check for their 990 (tax itinerary of expenditures) and if they are a 501 k (non profit) we all know some of the monies has to go to keep the place open but they have to show where money is allocated to. takes a lot to feed, meds, advocate, have a staff that walks, gives pets, care attention. it's hard i know what ones where does money go but like paying a bill you have a need to know the battle is almost won when you decide to help with support and donations
Thank you ASPCA for all you do. I will continue to support you because I believe in you. God bless you all!
These pictures are wonderful! They restore my faith in numan nature. These animals are absolutely precious. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job helping them.
I'm disturbed about the kitten in the cage who seems more to want to get out than playing? In fact, it broke my heart, she needs therapy.

Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree. A very good office scent.
Thread: Help Me Find My Office Scent
I have really been looking to find a nice, primarily daytime scent for the office. I am really new to the world of fragrances but I have tried quite a few (many Creeds, blenheim bouquet, Eau Savage, allure Homme, and others). Right now, I primarily wear GIT or MI (though the latter seems to have some sort of musk or something on the drydown that i dont like that much) in the office.
here is basically what i am looking for:
- something bright/fresh (but not something that gets too sweet or floral - this was my issue with most of the Creeds that I tried. After about an hour or two, they all seemed to settle down into this floral/powdery scent that i did not like)
- something that is formal enough to go with suit and tie
- something that has elements of classicism and yet is still modern and fairly young (i am in my mid-30s)
- something that does not get too woody, spicy, or leathery on the drydown
- my overall appearance is fairly 'sharp' or crisp - my tailoring is on the fitted side, i have an energetic, brash personality - and I guess i am really looking for the same in my cologne
- oh, and perhaps an impossible request - but maybe something not so common as to remind someone of the department store cologne section I would expect that recommendations would be of fairly popular scents (and i am ok with that) but dont want to smell cheap or reminiscent of the department store
soooooo...does anything exist that fits the bill well??? what should i give a shot?
thanks all!
Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree. A very good office scent.
Parfums De Nicolai's New York, or maybe Paco Rabanne pH.
If the budget allows, check out Amouage Opus II. $325US/bottle. Sample first. Creed Acier Aluminum may be an alternative since GIT and MI seem to be within your budget parameters. Until I hit the words ''brash'' Amouage Reflection Man was fitting too. It's decidedly unbrash.
I'll agree with Paco Rabanne pH. It's hugely retro which is great and not all that common. It's fragrance smells well north of it's price. A retro-80's scent that's just back on the market is Giorgio Beverly Hills Giorgio.
Best to you in your search.
hugo boss pure but what i think are perfect office scents are armani attitude extreme and also chanel allure homme edition blanche
but in the end it`s your choice if you have a major perfume store like nordstroms or the bay or macy`s just ask one of the people that work in the fragrance department which scent would suitable for an office job because you don`t want to be wearing some like le male or angel men to work because that is gonna give people a headache
Guerlain Homme
Bond No. 9 Riverside Drive
Armani Eau pour Homme

Gucci PH2 is light, inoffensive, and very pleasant. longevity is spotty though i hear.
Penhaligon's LPNo9 for Him, or Opus 1870.
YSL Pour Homme - Easily found for $30 online. Happy, classy, lemon herbal experience.

Definitely check out Gendarme. I'd second Allure Edition Blanche and Paco Rabanne. I'm not sure which Creeds you've tried, but if you haven't checked out Erolfa, you should. Some others to look into: Viktor & Rolf Antidote, Versace Pour Homme, Chanel Platinum Egoiste, Terre d'Hermes, L'Instant de Guerlain, and Bleu de Chanel.
Roger & Gallet Vetyver
Le 3e Homme
Versace L'Homme
Bowling Green
Gucci PH II is a good recommendation, as well as Rive gauche
possibly gucci by gucci as well (black bottle).
Bulgari Pour homme series is excellent, i love the extreme version personally but i use that more as a casual wear since on my skin i get a lot of grapefruit which the girls like ^ ^

lhomme or mugler cologne
Frankly, GIT sounds perfect for you. But we all like choice, so
**Versace L'Homme (applied with restraint)
***YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme
**Amouage Dia Man
****Penhaligons Racquets
**L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme
***Creed Original Vetiver
It's great that you seem to know exactly what you want out of your 'office scent'.
May I suggest these:
Chanel Sycomore -- 'cool & aloof but sharp' vetiver
Dunhill Edition -- 'old school formal' edc
Domenico Caraceni Ivy League -- 'preppy' clean green floral
Or stretch the budget for Xerjoff Nio -- subtle yet classic Mediterranean citrus & woods
Considering you don't want something leathery, very spicy or strongly woody, that leaves two categories, florals and fresh. Maybe gourmands but I highly doubt many people would consider gourmands professional. I recommend:
bois du portugal by creed
Chanel Egoiste
Chanel Platinum Egoiste
Frederic Malle Graneium Pour Monsieur (very minty and energetic, but pricy)
Amouage Epic (ok maybe a little too woody/animalic and expensive, but it's a great professional fragrance)
I'm not into aquatics and fresh fragrances, but that seems to be what you're looking for. And Creed seems to be the house to look into if that's the type of fragrance you'd like, e.g. something not worn by many, expensive enough to smell professional, yet not very "risky" or complex.
Don't look any further, Vetiver extraordinaire is exactly what you are looking for.
Somewhat formal, classic yet modern, not too woody, spicy or leathery, sharp and crisp, and energetic?
I'll recommend:
Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle French Lover / Bois d'Orage
Creed Baie de Genievre
Aside from the ones mentioned above, since you like Creed, try Himalaya.
My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
I think Bulgaris are good for office wear, you can try pour homme, extreme and aqua. Or you can try a light application of Terre D'Hermes
Essenza di Zegna
The ultimate office scent to me is Boucheron PH, especially the EDP. This s pure class in a bottle and projects professionalism and class without being stuffy or overbearing.
Trumper's G.F.T.
Bleu de Chanel (but I heard blue seduction is pretty much the same but cheaper; can anyone elaborate on this as I am very curious)
Gucci Pour Homme II
Guerlain Homme
Hugh Parsons Blue!
"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each!" - Henry David Thoreau
guys, thanks A LOT for the excellent recommendations - i at least feel like i can have some direction again when trying/testing scents...walking into the store with shelves upon shelves is fairly daunting!
Terre d´Hermes
"Wow, I've never smelled anything like that before."
if any one has some general thoughts on the following that i have heard good things about and whether it might fit in with what i am trying to do it would be helpful:
- guerlain vetiver
- creed aventus
- AdP colonia
Aventus? My jury is out on that a bit. Women love it on me...but I seem to go blind to it about 3 hours in. It's a fresh, modern scent. Doesn't fit my expectations of a work scent. Not a "clubbing" scent, but seems like it's too new to have a "personality" yet. Feels a bit casual to me right now. I'm sure it could work if you wanted it to, but for me, it doesn't feel like something I would wear with a suit.
I have longevity issues with most AdPs. I'll let someone else comment on that.
As to your other question about Pour Monsieur Concentre; Concentre is the one that iS widely available in US. Sold nearly everywhere. It is quite different from the original. I find it pleasant and rather "barber shopish." Not old fashioned, but probably not as "modern" as you would like. Longevity about 5-6 hours for me. The original is still sold in Europe and can be found with some digging. I've passed on it because masterpiece though it may be, it is legendarily short lived.

Guerlain Vetiver may work well for you.
Bulgari PH almost certainly would. Crisp, clean, confident, contemporary and masculine.
My Wardrobe:
Yves St. Laurent Live Jazz
Comme des Garcons Vettiveru
Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge
Creed Green Irish Tweed
Comme des Garcons 2 Man
From Your description Aventus from Creed is what I would go with. It has a nice evolution from top to bottom with excellent longevity. Should be good for office and formal wear. It is seems to be very liked by Women as well.
As much as I enjoy the few Amouage scents that I have worn, I would advise against them in the office, as they seem to be a bit strong. God forbid that you are not in a fragrance free zone or have co-workers that are 'sensitive' to certain scents.
YSL Rive Gauche or L'homme are totally fine--- Rive Gauche to me is a good masculine scent and 'smells like you know what you're doing' and L'homme is one of those scents that should just please everyone around you.
But, if you roll like I do, who cares?! Wear whatever you want!
I think Gendarme, Rive Gauche PH and Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta would fit the bill.
Top 10:
1. Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta
3. Tom Ford Bois Marocain
4. Creed Green Irish Tweed
5. Dior Homme/Intense
6. YSL Opium
7. Azzaro Pour Homme
8. Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur
9. YSL Live Jazz
10. Burberry London

Egyptian Patchouli oil. And lots of it.
That's how you make a statement in the workplace.
You walk through doors at 7am and its like BAM!- you have arrived and you are a force to be reckoned with.
And then you wear it the next day, just to let em' know you mean business. Serious business.
I'm sorry, I had a few cocktails. Don't do that
Please try Mugler Cologne. Fresh, soapy, softly musky, slightly green, not at all woody or spicy, timid sillage but incredible (almost spooky) lasting power, just a hint of earthiness and sensuality to keep it from being boring - it's the perfect office scent. Lately I've been craving a similar kind of thought-free, pleasant-smelling "wallpaper scent" that won't knock out everyone around me with its sillage or require too much attention of me, and I've rediscovered the beauty and versatility of Cologne.
CHANEL Pour Monsieur Concentree. This masterpiece can be used for both day and night, and can easily be a mans signature-scent. Very usable, and you will always smell classy and sophisticated.
You've gotten some interesting suggestions ---and now you ask about these extremely interesting three!
Way to go . . .
Alright, before I answer, one question? How much do you love your job?
Seriously, I can't imagine wearing Creed Baie de Genievre unless you're ecstatic with it.
(Himalaya may serve for just happy lust. Ditto Vettiver Extraordinaire, Versace L'Homme and a few others)
As to Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree it put me to sleep (as did Dunhill Edition) which might have had something to do with why I got sacked from that particular job. It's inoffensive and on the elegant side but--why bother when there's AdP colonia? The latter hasn't the greatest longevity but one can re-apply.
I'm told that the original Chanel PM was different and just the bee's knee. Perhaps one day I'll scrounge a sample somewhere. Meanwhile, have any of you elegant-citrus fans tried Iskander? You might be pleasantly surprised.
Like Daimondflame I'm sorry I haven't tried Aventus. Have I missed much?
I believe I began my review of Guerlian Vetiver by writing that it was a sin to wear it to work, unless you loved your job. It's freedom personified.
Now if you want a suit and tie modern scent the appropriately named Richard James (of Richard James Saville Row) is great.
No, it's not too sweet and it " has elements of classicism and yet is still modern and fairly young."
Pity you're not an old fogey or you could also wear Dunhill '34 or Jean Patou PH, but one can't have everything.
Now, if you just like your job. I'd suggest going " Barbershop. " all the way. Adolfo Dominguez Vetiver Hombre or Creed's O.V. The Baron, any good Bay Rum that doesn't choke with cloves, a Pineless Penhaligon's, etc.

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
My Antaeus can beat up your Armani.
thanks again guys. I was able to spend some time in the stores over the last week and try quite a few recommendations (on paper, wrists, and testers). You guys must really know your stuff, as there was pretty much not a single example that i just flat out could not wear. That being said, i feel like (though they were pleasant enough) there was always some specific element that prevented me from pulling the trigger. for example:
- Bulgari Pour Homme: started out really well. After about an hour, i started to detect some sort of note (maybe tea or something) that was underneath that started to annoy me a bit. it wasn't 'sweet' but it was something somehow similar to that.
- Gucci Pour Homme II: again, the top was great but there was some sort of licorice or chocolate or some sort of sweet note underneath that felt like it was almost too sensual or something for suit and tie
- YSL Homme: i did like this...but it smelled 'common' somehow (not that it would be a dealbreaker)
- Guerlain Homme: really liked it but it was almost too refined or smooth. certainly would go with suit and tie but not sure it is brash enough for what i am looking for
- Boucheron Homme: this was awesome, but i couldnt help feeling like i should come back to it in about 15 years (which is what i also worry about with AdP, maybe i shouldnt worry about this?)
- Chanel Allure Edition Blanche: there is something vanilla-ey or something that i has turned me off of the allures i have tried in the past. though not as noticeable, i felt like this one also had that note.
- Aventus: it is a very pleasant scent to me in the beginning. the drydown wasnt fantastic (it is a little powdery or something and just didnt last or project well for me)
so, today i think i am going to be able to try the creed OV, Creed Windsor (this is out of the blue but somehow there is a sample testing going on at a local store that the Creed SA let me know about), and some others...
So, with this new data in mind - any continued recommendations?
like i said, many above were great scents but i felt like they either turned sweet/powdery, were a bit too smooth/mature, or were sort of 'typical' cologne smell.
i am starting to wonder if i almost want a bracing, aftershave type scent - what is this 'barbershop' vein people refer to? perhaps that is what is in my head but that i can not articulate?
one spritz of polo by ralph lauren
My usual office scent is Antidote by Viktor & Rolf: Fresh, unusual and classy. A little synthetic though.
The other office scents I have in my rotation are:
Grey Flannel
Santal Noble
Sel de Vetiver
Bois Blond
MPG Centaure, MPG Garrigue, Racquets Formula, Oxford & Cambridge, Domenico Caraceni 1913, Cartier Pasha, and Royal Scottish Lavender might also be worth revisiting.
I got you EXACTLY wat you are asking for: Richard James Savile Row, it is classic, not intrusive, not cloying, and it will give you an aura of nobility and sophistication.
It is an outstanding fragrance that I discovered by serependity and has become one of my favorites .
Notes are: Bergamot, Mandarin, Ginger, Green Tea and Petitgrain. Rosemary, Basil, Cardamon, Coriander, Tuberose, Lily of the Valley, Rose and Lavender. Soft Suede, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Tobacco, Amber, Vetiver, Musk OakMoss.
The problem is that I do not know where I could get another bottle.
I guess like so many things it depends upon the situation and what you are doing in the office. Im a management consultant and find myself in a variety of situations. If Im pitching a business proposition to a client, I wear Gendarme - there is nothing as effective as smelling clean! If Im working with a client on assignment and simply in their offices I go for something like Ralph Lauren Purple Label or Silver Mountain Water. For a meeting or a presentation I go for something like Cuiron by Helmut Lang or Selection Verte. If its a cold day then I reach for something like Vetiver by Guerlain. Avoid anything too overpowering like A Men or Amouage Gold! The most important thing is to smell like you want to look. Classy but inconspicuous!
have u tried tom ford for men?

Sweetwater CFO pick scrutinized
The Sweetwater Union High School District has hired the former vice chancellor of the Yuba Community College District in Northern California as its chief financial officer, a choice drawing criticism from some in the community.
Albert Alt will be paid $179,189 salary in his new post, up from his 2011 pay in Yuba of $155,493, according to the State Controller's Office public pay database.
In that job, he was criticized for collecting additional pay for a doctoral degree from an unaccredited institution — criticism many in the administration took as union-driven because Alt was a management labor negotiator.
Also, Alt advised board members on an expensive capital-appreciation bond that will cost $12 in payback for every dollar borrowed.
The college district eliminated his position, vice chancellor of administrative services, in June. He had been there nearly a decade.
Sweetwater officials said Alt was chosen after a four-month process that included a pre-screening by an executive search firm, and at least two rounds of interviews with a community-based committee and a technical committee comprised of district administrators and faculty.
The district paid $25,000 to Sacramento-based School Services of California, Inc. to prescreen applicants and generate a list of potential candidates, who were then further vetted by the district.
"We believe that we had a very thorough process before arriving at Mr. Alt for the position of CFO," Sweetwater spokesman Manuel Rubio said.
Did Sweetwater schools do an adequate background check on its CFO?
Yes 11% (22)
No 79% (164)
Too soon to say 10% (21)
207 total votes.
In 2008, Yuba faculty members gave Alt — then the college's human resources director — a vote of "no confidence" after an investigation revealed, among other things, that he had received a doctoral degree from an unaccredited school that has been described as a diploma mill. Mississippi-based Madison University closed in 2006, five years after it opened.
As human resources director, part of Alt's job was to verify employees' education credentials.
"It was the worst kind of irony that he couldn't tell a diploma mill from his own degree," Yuba English professor Greg Kemble said this week.
Alt for a time received a $3,000 yearly stipend for his doctorate, but stopped taking it once he learned the school was unaccredited. Yuba officials did not return messages asking whether Alt repaid the stipend he received before learning of the school's status.
U-T Watchdog requested a phone interview with Alt, but it has not yet been granted. A phone number recently associated with Alt was disconnected.
Many in the Yuba administration and board felt that allegations levied by faculty members were an attempt to smear Alt, who was leading the district's contentious contract negotiations.
"I always thought it was not really what it was made out to be," said former Yuba Community College District board member James Buchan. He added that after the controversy with Alt's degree, he ultimately did obtain a legitimate degree from Drexel University.
"I thought he did a fine job as our vice chancellor, and I am glad that he has landed somewhere," Buchan said.
In Alt's financial role with the Yuba district, he advised the district's trustees on issuance of a $4.6 million capital-appreciation bond that will cost taxpayers $54 million in interest.
