IN RE: John Cleveland/Kentucky Heritage Council
This matter comes to the Attorney General on appeal from the Kentucky Heritage Council's response to Mr. John Cleveland's January 14, 1993, request to inspect a three page memorandum sent to Mr. David Morgan, the Heritage Council's Executive Director, by Thomas N. Sanders, Site Protection Program Manager, on October 21, 1992. In that memorandum, Mr. Sanders expressed his views on the eligibility of the Elk Creek Rock Shelter for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Mr. Morgan denied Mr. Cleveland's request in a letter dated January 21, 1993, explaining that the Heritage Council "believes [the memorandum] is exempt under KRS 61.878(1)(i) as it constitutes, 'preliminary recommendations, and preliminary memoranda in which opinions are expressed or policies formulated or recommended.'"
In a followup letter to this Office dated May 13, 1993, Mr. Morgan elaborated on the position he had earlier taken. He explained:
Our Office determined that the Elk Creek Rock Shelter was not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. I stated this in a letter to Ms. Sara Sanders, Department for Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (DSMRE), on October 19, 1992. This determination was based on a review of the consulting archaeologists' report, on-site inspections, and discussions
with the consulting archaeologists as well as DSMRE staff archaeologists.
The memo in question from Tom Sanders to me expresses Mr. Sanders' opinion on the eligibility of the Shelter. It is an inter-
office communication in which his opinion is expressed and his recommendation are made. It is 'preliminary' in nature in that it was information on which an official decision would be based. In fact, it was written after the actual official decision was made. Nevertheless, it is a memo between staff, preliminary in nature, and we believe it is exempt under the open records statute.
Mr. Morgan provided this Office with copies of various documents, including Ms. Sanders' memorandum, to facilitate our review.
The single issue presented in this open records appeal is whether Mr. Morgan properly relied on KRS 61.878(1)(i) in denying Mr. Cleveland's request for a copy of the Sanders memorandum. For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that the Kentucky Heritage Council did not violate the Open Records Law in denying the request.
KRS 61.878(1)(i) authorizes the nondisclosure of:
(i) Preliminary recommendations, and preliminary memoranda in which opinions are expressed or policies formulated or recommended[.]
This exemption is intended to protect the integrity of the agency's internal decision-making process by encouraging the free exchange of opinions and ideas. It has thus been interpreted to authorize nondisclosure of preliminary reports and memoranda containing the opinions, observations, and recommendations of personnel within an agency. OAG 86-64, OAG 88-24; OAG 88-85; OAG 89-34; OAG 89-39; OAG 90-97. The purpose underlying the exemption is discussed at p. 4 of OAG 88-85, where this Office opined:
[R]ecommendations and opinions expressed by a subordinate to a superior should not be subject to public scrutiny. Otherwise, there would be a chilling effect cast upon
the ability of the government to function as a system. There must be an open atmosphere among staff members whereby they may express their opinions, give recommendations and otherwise engage in a preliminary process in support of the ultimate decision-maker's final decision.
If, however, the predecisional documents are incorporated into final agency action, they are not exempt.
This dichotomy is best illustrated in City of Louisville v. Courier-Journal and Louisville Times Company, Ky. App., 637 S.W.2d 658 (1982). In that opinion, the Kentucky Court of Appeals held that the investigative files of the City police department were exempt from public disclosure as preliminary documents. At p. 659, the court reasoned:
It is the opinion of this court that subsections (g) and (h) [now codified as subsections (h) and (i)] . . . protect the Internal Affairs reports from being made public. Internal Affairs, as was stipulated, has no independent authority to issue a binding decision and serves merely as a fact-finder for the convenience of the Chief and the Deputy Chief of Police.
Its information is submitted for review to the Chief who alone determines what final action is to be taken. Perforce although at that point the work of Internal Affairs is final as to its own role, it remains preliminary to the Chief's final decision.
Of course, if the Chief adopts its notes or recommendations as part of his final action, clearly the preliminary characterization is lost to that extent.
See also, OAG 86-64 (holding that monthly and annual reports submitted to central state government by one of its agencies in the field can be withheld under KRS 61.878(1)(h) and (i) as long as the reports neither indicate final agency actions nor involve the incorporation of a preliminary report into a final report of the agency); OAG 89-34 (holding that a draft report submitted by the U.S. EPA to Kentucky's Division of Air Quality is a preliminary document, and does not lose that character by having been submitted for review and written comment of the
state agency); OAG 90-97 (holding that a public official's letter to the Parole Board, containing his opinion as to whether the Board should grant parole, is exempt from inspection unless incorporated into or made a part of the Board's final decision on the matter).
In contrast, predecisional documents which are incorporated by the agency into its final action forfeit their preliminary status and are thereafter subject to inspection. Thus, in OAG 89-69 this Office held that a legal memorandum, which was originally preliminary in character, became a public record when it was incorporated into a notice of agency action. There, we observed:
The [notice of agency action] not only refers to the memorandum, but clearly implies that its recommendations are being adopted by the Cabinet for the action taken. The letter states that the memorandum had been requested, that it was now 'in hand,' what was the recommendation, and that 'therefore' the Cabinet would expect Ashland to comply with the memorandum's recommendations.
OAG 89-69, at p. 3.
The Kentucky Heritage Council took final action on October 19, 1992, when Mr. Morgan notified Ms. Sara Sanders, Supervisor of the Program Development Section of DSMRE, that he concurred with the conclusion reached by Robert B. Hand in his report entitled "A National Register Evaluation of the Elk Creek Rockshelter (15624), Letcher County, Kentucky." Apparently unaware that a decision had been reached, Mr. Sanders submitted his memorandum to Mr. Morgan on October 21, 1992, asking that he take Mr. Sanders' evaluation into
consideration as "you make your recommendation on site eligibility." Clearly, Mr. Sanders hoped to influence Mr. Morgan's decision by advancing his opinions and recommendations. Although the document was not "predecisional" in chronological terms, it was submitted to Mr. Morgan in anticipation of a final decision as a "preliminary memorand[um] in which opinions are expressed or policies formulated or recommended." Thus, it falls squarely within the parameters of KRS 61.878(1)(i), and may properly be withheld from public inspection.
It should be noted that the federal judiciary has, in interpreting the federal analogue to KRS 61.878(1)(i) which is found at 5 U.S.C.552(b)(5) of the Freedom of Information Act, clearly distinguished between "predecisional memoranda prepared in order to assist an agency decision-maker in arriving at his decision, which are exempt from disclosure, and post-decisional memoranda setting forth the reasons for an agency decision already made, which are not." Renegotiation Board v. Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, 421 U.S. 168, 44 L.Ed.2d 57, 95 S.Ct. 1491 (1975). In order to fall within the "deliberative process" exception, a document must be antecedent to adoption of agency policy and must be related to the process by which policies are formulated. Deliberative or advisory material which is intended to explain a decision or policy already adopted is not within the purview of 5 U.S.C.552(b)(5).
We believe that this line of authority supports the position we take. As we have noted, Mr. Sanders' memorandum was prepared in order to assist Mr. Morgan in arriving at his decision, and not in order to explain a decision already adopted. The underlying purpose of both the state and federal exception, to permit agency decision-makers to receive the benefit of frank and uninhibited discussion of policy matters by agency staff by protecting their advice and opinions from public scrutiny, is best served by the nonrelease of the requested record. We therefore find that the Kentucky Heritage Council properly denied Mr. Cleveland's open records request.
Mr. Cleveland may challenge this decision by initiating action in the appropriate circuit court pursuant to KRS 61.880(5) and KRS 61.882.

The last team to do that was the Saints in 1987. In consecutive weeks, the team of Jim ...

When it comes to Internet security, a reported 87% of small businesses have no security policies in place at at all. And considering that employee error is one of the most common causes of an online security breach, it makes sense to have rules in place that your staff need to follow. So to help you create some security policies of your own, we've outlined four important areas to cover.
InternetIn today's business world, employees spend a lot of time on the Internet. To ensure they're not putting your business at risk, you need a clear set of web policies. Here are three important ones to keep in mind:
- Employees should be using the Internet for business purposes only. While this is undoubtedly hard to avoid without blocking specific websites, having a policy in place should at least cut back on employees spending time on non-business related sites.
- Prohibit unauthorized downloads. This includes everything from music to games, and even data or applications.
- Accessing personal email should not be done on business devices. If employees must access their own email account during the day, they can do so on their smartphone or other personal device.
PasswordsWe've all heard the importance of a strong password time and time again. And this same principle should also apply to your employees. The reason is rather simple. Many employees will create the easiest to crack passwords for their business accounts. After all, if your organization gets hacked, it's not their money or business at stake. So to encourage employees to create strong passwords, your policy should instruct them to include special characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, and numbers in their passwords.
DataWhether or not you allow your employees to conduct work on their own device, such as a smartphone or tablet, it is important to have a bring your own device (BYOD) policy. If your employees aren't aware of your stance on BYOD, some are sure to assume they can conduct work related tasks on their personal laptop or tablet. So have a BYOD policy and put it in the employee handbook. In addition to this, make sure to explain that data on any workstation is business property. That means employees aren't allowed to remove or copy it without your authorization.
We hope these four policies have shed some light on best security practices. If you'd like more tips or are interested in a security audit of your business, do get in touch.

Building a Better Tree
Genetic Engineering and Fiber Farming
in Oregon and Washington
W. Scott Prudham
The development of technology, and thus the social development it implies, is as much determined by the breadth of vision that informs it, and the particular notions of social order to which it is bound, as by the mechanical relations between things and the physical laws of nature.
David Noble, America by Design, 1977
On the arid plains of eastern Washington and Oregon, next to the placid Columbia River, tens of thousands of acres of hybrid cottonwoods grow in even rows, supplying fiber to nearby paper mills. Grown on a seven-year rotation, hand planted in blocks of six hundred clones per acre, watered by drip irrigation, and cultivated under chemical control, the plantations are among the most intensively managed anywhere in the world. Two hundred and fifty miles down river, in Corvallis, researchers at Oregon State University's Tree Genetic Engineering Research Cooperative (TGERC) have been developing genetically engineered (GE) trees for use in the plantations since 1995. Several varieties are now in field trials. Should they be approved for commercial deployment and planted on the banks of the Columbia, they would become the first GE trees to be used in commercial forestry in the United States.
Though less contentious in the public eye than GE food crops have become, commercial GE trees also raise numerous concerns. These include the risk of gene transfer to wild trees and other species; the potential for consolidation of industrial and scientific forestry; and the political and ethical issues raised by proprietary control over life forms (Kenney 1998; Kevles 1998; May 1998; Mullin and Bertrand 1998). These concerns cast in relief the potential importance of commercial GE tree cultivation and the sense that by embracing the new biotechnology, industrial forestry is on the brink of a socially and environmentally significant transition.
To assess this transition, we must consider the social origins of commer-

Tai Chi Benefits Heart Patients
Latest Heart News
Tai Chi Exercise Improves Mood and Health of Heart Failure Patients, Study Finds
By Bill Hendrick
Reviewed by Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC
April 25, 2011 -- Tai chi, often called "meditation in motion," appears to improve the quality of life in people with heart failure, say researchers at Harvard Medical School.
The ancient Chinese exercise of tai chi features physical movements that are slow and gentle and require concentration.
"Historically, patients with chronic systolic heart failure were considered too frail to exercise and, through the late 1980s, avoidance of physical activity was a standard recommendation," the researchers write. And, until now, the effects of meditative exercise have not been rigorously studied in a large group of heart failure patients.
Scientists at Harvard and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center followed 100 outpatients who had reduced heart-pumping function ("systolic heart failure") and put them into two random groups of 50. One group took part in a 12-week tai chi-based exercise program, and the other group received time-matched education sessions. Both groups attended their sessions twice per week and were similar in terms of baseline demographics, severity of heart disease, and rates of other medical conditions.
Tai Chi Lifts Mood, Helps Heart Failure Patients
By the end of the study, people practicing tai chi had greater improvements in quality of life, including increased confidence to perform various forms of exercise, increased daily activity levels, and greater feelings of well-being, as compared to people in the education-only cohort.
The exercise encourages gentle, flowing circular movements, balance and weight shifting, and practicing of breathing techniques. According to the researchers, tai chi for heart failure patients is "safe and has good rates of adherence."
This form of exercise may also be beneficial for people with hypertension, balance problems, and an impaired exercise capacity, the researchers write. The exercise appears to decrease anxiety, enhance vigor, and improve mood and is a safe alternative to moderate-intensity conventional exercise training.
The study is published in the April 25 issues of the Archives of Internal Medicine.

9th Regiment Connecticut Volunteers
NPS Photo
The regiment arrived at De Soto Point, opposite Vicksburg, on June 25, 1862, and began work on the canal, but was soon hampered by supply problems, lack of drinking water, and temperatures that reached above 100 degrees. Malaria, dysentery, and heatstroke spread throughout the command, incapacitating the troops. Coupling this with the drop in the river level, the canal project was abandoned on July 24, far short of completion. Some 153 men of the 9th died within a four-month period following their arrival at the canal. While seeing no further action at Vicksburg, the unit participated in the Battle of Baton Rouge in August, and was then assigned to defenses in the New Orleans area.

Best Excuse To Shoegaze (2009)
Don't let the Uptown yuppies in their Polo shirts and Banana Republic slacks fool you: There is, indeed, quite the hip streetwear fashion scene in Dallas—and it's growing every year. Case in point: Kixpo, Dallas' annual sneaker and streetwear expo. Run by a group of sneaker and streetwear fiends who collectively call themselves Dead Stock, the annual event draws sneakerheads and fashion-savvy skate-punks from far beyond North Texas into town for a weekend of hip-hop, basketball and, most important, a couple hours of showing off. The third annual event, held this past July 25 at Life in Deep Ellum, saw a room full of sneaker collectors, streetwear fashion boutiques and mixtape makers showing off their own collections' finest pieces. And, even though few items were actually for sale—"Don't Touch!" signs littered the display booths covered in some of the flashiest kicks you've ever seen—around 2,000 squeezed into the room to jealously stare down the materials being flaunted. With an increasing fan base and not too many other national sneaker conventions to speak of, the sky seems the limit for this foot-obsessed, fetishy upstart.

Bata Shoe Museum displays rare Arctic footwear in new exhibit
SCUGOG -- Derrick McHenry can still picture the face of the man he helped pull from a fiery wreck early Sunday morning.
The flames that he narrowly escaped from and the thick smoke that filled the accident scene on Simcoe Street, just south of Port Perry, are now vivid memories, but the thoughts still send a shiver down his spine.
"It was the craziest night of my life," said the Whitby man, 25, of the horrific accident that sent a young Oshawa man to a Toronto hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Mr. McHenry was travelling north on Simcoe Street just after midnight on March 23 with two friends, heading to the Great Blue Heron Casino on Scugog Island.
As they approached Port Perry, passing the Scugog Line 3 intersection, the trio noticed the car in front of them slow down and then pull off onto the right shoulder.
In the distance, they spotted the wreckage of a small car with flames erupting from the hood. About 30 feet ahead of the car, a large truck was sideways, blocking both lanes.
"That's when we realized this just happened, literally, one minute ago," recalled Mr. McHenry.
In the moments before the three Whitby friends arrived at the scene, Durham police say a southbound Chevrolet Cobalt driven by a 27-year-old Oshawa man had drifted across the centre line, slamming into a northbound Ford F-250 truck.
The friends quickly pulled off to the side of the road and Mr. McHenry jumped out to assess the situation.
"The flames were lighting up the inside of the car and at first it looked like no one was in there," said Mr. McHenry. "But then another man walked over to check it out and when he got closer, he started yelling there was someone in there."
Inside the Cobalt was a large man with his head pressed against the passenger door, the window above his head smashed. He wasn't wearing a seat belt.
"There was blood everywhere," said Mr. McHenry.
Instinctively, he knew he had to help.
"The flames were getting big, fairly fast," said the Whitby man. "We had to get him out."
At that time, things became somewhat of a blur.
Another man, who Mr. McHenry only describes as in his 50s, suddenly appeared at the scene and tried to pull the injured man through the broken window.
Mr. McHenry ripped the door handles off the car in his attempt to get inside.
His friends he was travelling with, Jody Foote and James Yamada, both 25, suddenly appeared, ready to help.
Somehow, another older man managed to bend a door open, giving Mr. McHenry enough room to wiggle into the car. He grabbed the Oshawa man's arms and his friends grabbed the Cobalt driver's legs and together the Whitby men managed to pull the victim from the flaming wreckage.
Once the Oshawa man was out of the car, others rushed over to help lift him over a guardrail and away to safety seconds before the Cobalt burst into flames.
"Within 45 seconds that car was engulfed in flames," recalled Mr. McHenry. "It was the craziest thing I've ever seen."
The seriousness of the situation sank in quickly, leaving Mr. McHenry shaken a day after the Whitby men's heroic efforts.
"All you think about is when will that car explode," he acknowledged. "I was assuming the car would explode, so I knew we were pressed for time. I was lucky I stayed calm."
As the Oshawa man lay in the snow at the side of the road, alert and screaming, more and more passing motorists began stopping at the accident scene.
Among those pulling over to offer assistance were Geoff Reher and Greg Parr, two Whitby men on their way home from the Scugog Island casino.
They didn't witness the accident, but noticed the fire right away.
"It was a big fire, I've never seen a car burn like that," said Mr. Reher, 28.
The two men stopped and Mr. Reher jumped out and joined the rescue effort, helping to cover up the injured Oshawa man.
"He was very out of it, he was screaming and not very (coherent) ... he was mumbling his words," said the Whitby man.
With the Cobalt continuing to burn and debris from the Ford pickup truck scattered all over the roadway, Mr. Reher realized the seriousness of what had unfolded only moments earlier.
"Someone was definitely going pretty quick to do that much damage," he said.
As for their actions early that Sunday morning, both Whitby men shake off any suggestions they're heroes.
"I think anyone would help out in that situation," said Mr. Reher. "We came across an accident and we definitely had to check it out. We just couldn't sit there."
Standing on the side of the road in the deep snowy ditch, Mr. McHenry and his friends decided to hit the road once the emergency crews arrived.
"We didn't see the actual accident, so we figured we could go," said Mr. McHenry, before stressing something firmly: "I'm not looking for recognition."
But as a man who makes his living driving a truck, Mr. McHenry acknowledges the experience was a new lesson on the dangers of the road.
"It was a big, eye-opening experience," he said. "All I can visualize is that guy's face and I can still smell that rotten smoke. It was terrifying."
Shortly after the accident scene was cleared on Sunday morning, Durham police sent out a press release stating the driver of the pickup truck, a 50-year-old Little Britain man, was treated for minor injuries at the Port Perry hospital and released.
Investigating officers also determined that road and weather conditions were favourable at the time of the collision and believe that alcohol and speed may be contributing factors, added authorities.

Danville Diagnostic Imaging Center - Convenient Location
Since 1991, Danville Diagnostic Imaging Center (DDIC) has been providing high-quality services to the community and has recently upgraded equipment. This includes an enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) scanner and new wide-bore MRI unit.
The new CT scanner, an upgrade from the 4-slice CT scanner, allows for higher quality imaging and clearer samples for a more accurate diagnosis. Since the equipment scans the images faster, a patient's examination time is reduced. The CT scan offers a clearer view of scanned anatomy and reveals more details than normal x-ray exams.
The new wide-bore MRI unit will also provide faster and more efficient images, allowing for a quick, accurate diagnosis. Without using x-rays, the MRI machine uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to produce imaging of all portions of the anatomy. With this new technology, an MRI scan averages between 15 and 30 minutes for most procedures. Other advantages of the unit include a much larger bore (opening) so claustrophobia typically is not an issue as well as accommodation of patients weighing up to 500 pounds. A patient can listen to their iPod, favorite CD or satellite radio station choice while their scan is performed.

LIVE 1A Championship Blog at VCU
4:25 PM: Our first session on this Saturday is over and the Chilhowie Girls and Altavista Boys have represented with Championship victories today over quality opponents in Honaker, which beat Chilhowie in the regional title game, and a Radford team that had won three state titles since 2009. In the case of Chilhowie's ladies, they put together the largest margin of victory in a Group A State Championship in 12 years. Altavista won its second state title in a row.
Coming up this evening, it's Central-Wise vs. Gate City in the 2A Girls Championship and Bruton vs. Dan River in the 2A Boys Championship. That Blog will come your way beginning around 6:30/7:00 PM this evening. It'll conclude our LIVE Blog Coverage of the 2014 VHSL State Basketball Tournament.
Postgame Audio with Altavista
Coach Mike Cartolaro
3:40 PM: The Altavista Colonels are your VHSL State Tournament Champions for 2014 in Group 1 High School Basketball. They took down a Radford Bobcats team that was ranked #1 all season long.
Let's go over the Final Stats from this one before we break for the Night Session, which will feature the 2A title games, on this Saturday in the 2014 VHSL State Tournament.
Final Stats:
Altavista Colonels 49:
(23-3 Overall)
Bobcats 44: (26-3 Overall)
What has made Altavista so dynamic this season is their ability to score in different ways, going to the post play with the Johnson twins or seeing their guards break people off the bounce or finish in transition. Thornhill and Maulbeck were solid, and Allen quietly gave them fine minutes off the bench. Altavista rebounded better as the game went along, and they had a reasonable amount of success against Radford's man-to-man defense, particularly in a key stretch midway through the third quarter that allowed them to open the lead up to nine.
Even in a loss, Jones put forth a terrific display, and we've come to expect that from him in his career so far at Radford, which is why he's a D-1 prospect. Phillips and Finley didn't have their typical games as Altavista's defense dared Finley to be more of a shooter than distributor. The subpar perimeter shooting was too much for a very good Radford team to overcome against a squad that can hurt you inside or out.
We'll have more to come . . . keep it tuned to VirginiaPreps.com!
3:32 PM: All year long, the Altavista Colonels and Radford Bobcats have been the Class of High School Basketball in Virginia in 1A. Radford has been ranked #1 the entire season and Altavista #2 with each team looking to repeat as State Champs in the first year of the new realignment. It'll be the Colonels doing so as they hold off the Bobcats in the end, getting a total team effort as four starters scored between 7 and 14 points for Coach Mike Cartolaro's squad.
Although the Bobcats see their season end at 26-3 overall, they had another superb season under veteran Head Coach Rick Cormany. Their three losses were by a total of 11 points. The Bobcats were denied their fourth state title in 2009, but ran into another team with Championship experience and lots of talent on its side.
3:28 PM: Misses on the front-end of two 1 and 1 foul shot opportunities for Altavista has kept them from putting this one away. Radford gets closer with 18.3 seconds left on another splendid offensive play from their junior guard Nate Jones, a Conference Player of the Year.
The Bobcats are going to turn to their full-court pressure out of a time-out in hopes of creating a turnover. However, Altavista breaks it with Meche Maulbeck racing down the court, catching the baseball pass and scoring on a lay-up. Radford misses at the other end, and with 3.3 seconds left, the Colonels are in front by a count of 48-44 with the Colonel Crazies starting to celebrate.
This will be the third state title for Coach Mike Cartolaro's team since 2004 as they have had a wonderful season, only losing to Goochland, who they later defeated, and undefeated Dan River twice. Oh by the way, Dan River is undefeated and later facing Bruton for the 2A State Championship.
3:24 PM: Out of a time-out, Radford puts Nate Jones back into the game and he scores, gliding to the rim and drawing contact. His free-throw is no good, but the Altavista lead is down to 44-41 with 2:25 remaining. Sophomore guard Marcus Finley makes two stellar defensive plays for the Bobcats, but Radford is to pull closer.
Altavista makes it a two-possession lead as 5-foot-11 senior captain Richard Hubbard scores with 1:22 to go. The Colonels' role players like Hubbard and Walker Allen have stepped up at critical times to help out their main four playmakers.
With 44.6 seconds left, Altavista is shooting a one-and-one, ahead 46-41 on their fellow defending State Champs, the Radford Bobcats.
3:17 PM: We have reached the 3:39 mark and it's Altavista up 44-40 on Radford after a pair of free-throws by DeAndre Cook. Moments ago, Demetrius Johnson had a nice finish versus contact for the Colonels in the open floor. Altavista's transition game has had timely buckets to help them steady or increase the lead when it has mattered most.
More than anything though, the difference in this game so far has been the Colonels' defensive attention to detail, taking away what Isaiah Phillips and Marcus Finley, the #2 and #3 scoring options for Radford, do best. The Johnson twins have performed well on the front-line well to complement guards Meche Maulbeck and Juan Thornhill, too.
3:12 PM: Radford is getting closer thanks to junior 6-foot-4 shooting guard Nate Jones, who is exploding to the cup on a couple of drives, one in transition. To me, he's a mid-major level prospect with what he's showing today and has room for growth in his game, primarily on the defensive end because once he translates that leaping ability to that end of the floor, he'll be an even more dangerous player.
With 6:06 left to play, it's Altavista leading 39-36. The Colonels have tried to go to some isolations the last two trips down the floor and it didn't work. They need to find a way to give Darius Johnson a high-percentage shot in the low post or high post area, or get it in the hands of Juan Thornhill on a slash to the hoop and let him use that natural athleticism to attack.
3:06 PM: Things starting to get a little chippy as Walker Allen of Altavista and Radford's Nate Jones exchanged some words after a foul. Trailing 39-30, Radford needs to step it up and the Bobcats do so with a Jones bucket in transition; he's got 17 of their 32 points thus far to keep them alive offensively. Beating the horn is Anthony Miano, a 6-foot-2 senior forward and captain for the Bobcats.
End 3rdQ in 1A State Championship - - Altavista 39, Radford 34
These first three minutes are going to be critical for Radford and they have to take better care of the basketball. They committed six of their 12 turnovers in that third quarter.
3:01 PM: A terrific off the glass score by Altavista's Meche Maulbeck, using the spinner in the lane, pushes Altavista's lead to 33-25, their largest of the ballgame. Radford comes back with Marcus Finley's second three-pointer of the third quarter. Altavista comes back with their x-factor, sophomore sub Walker Allen to push the lead back up to eight.
UVA football commit Juan Thornhill is showing off the defensive back skills with a tremendous catch on the break and finish, drawing the foul in the process. It's a 38-30 lead for Altavista with 2:10 left until the fourth quarter gets underway. A steal from Richard Hubbard and the Colonels can now push it to double-figures with a basket.
2:56 PM: It has been a sloppy start to the third quarter for Radford, which was able to tie the score up at 23 on a three-pointer from Marcus Finley at the 6:18 mark. That was their first conversion from beyond the arc in the game, much to the delight of Coach Rick Cormany.
Since then though, Altavista has taken control with Darius Johnson going to work in the painted area. He's displaying superb footwork and maneuvering well inside to get to his spots to attack, using the occasional dribble move when needed. He's getting favorable one-on-one matchups inside that the Bobcats have to adjust to defensively soon. Altavista goes up by four on a basket from Richard Hubbard, and then it's a six-point advantage with over four minutes to go in the third quarter on another hoop from Johnson.
2:48 PM: Through two quarters of play, it's the Altavista Colonels leading the Radford Bobcats in a matchup of defending State Champs for the 1A title. Something like this couldn't happen in the past, but with the new setup, we have a real treat.
Here are the stats of note at intermission . . .
Stats at the Half:
Altavista 19:
The Johnson twins have started to get involved better in the front-court for Altavista in the second quarter after the first period. Radford has yet to convert from the outside and they need to get their outside shots on track or it'll be tough to win this with the way Altavista has kept them out of transition for the most part If this one isn't decided in the final two or three minutes, it would surprise me. These two teams are so evenly matched I could see them splitting ten meetings.
2:42 PM: To close the first half, it's Nate Jones breaking a tie for Radford with 30 seconds left, but Altavista pushes ahead on a three-pointer with six seconds to go from Meche Maulbeck, a 5-foot-9 junior. That was the first make from long range for either team in this first half.
1A State Championship at the Half - - Altavista 19, Radford 18
We'll have some half-time numbers to go over in just a bit . . .
2:35 PM: It's easy to see that Nate Jones of Radford and Juan Thornhill (UVA football commit) of Altavista, both Class of 2015 prospects, are the two best athletes in the floor in this one. Thornhill followed his own miss at the foul line for a put-back to cut the Radford lead to 14-12. Jones answered with a stick-back of his own.
What's starting to become evident is that Jones really has to carry Radford offensively. Both Isaiah Phillips and Marcus Finley have been relatively quiet shooting the ball. Altavista is starting to get their tandem on the front-line, Demetrius Johnson and Darius Johnson, going. Demetrius nails two foul sots and Darius has been instrumental on the offensive boards to extend possessions.
A basket by Jones with 30 seconds left in the half gives the Bobcats a slim lead, 18-16.
2:29 PM: Radford has started the second quarter off on a 7-2 spurt in a span of 3:31, triggered by their defense forcing long misses from the perimeter by Altavista. As expected earlier, Coach Rick Cormany went to a 2-3 zone and that gave the Bobcats a couple of run-outs at the other end, including a lay-up by All-State candidate Isaiah Phillips.
Potential 1A State Player of the Year Nate Jones is really impressing in the first half as he just soared over Juan Thornhill of Altavista on a catch-and-shoot jumper, plus was fouled. He converts the three-point play. This is my first time watching him live this season and he's got really good touch, plays with pace and poise, and he's more than athletic enough to be an impact player at the next level.
2:23 PM: These two teams are so similar and the stats after one quarter of play are almost identical across the board. With that in mind, it should surprise no one that the score is tied.
End 1stQ in 1A State Championship - - Altavista 7, Radford 7
Both teams are shooting 3-of-11 from the field without a three-point make, in part due to solid defense. Both have two assists compared to five turnovers. One area where someone has a fairly strong edge is rebounding and that's Radford 11-6 so far. They've gotten boards on some of their misses, and the Johnson twins, Demetrius and Darius for Altavista, will have to assert themselves on the defensive glass for the Colonels to make that category even.
2:17 PM: Altavista has responded after the slow start in a major way, sparked by the defensive intensity and athleticism of junior guard Juan Thornhill, a UVA football commit that showed off the hops when he rejected a Radford shot in the paint. Moments later, Altavista's defense forced a turnover and Thornhill flushed it down at the other end with a dunk.
Coming off the bench, 6-foot-3 sophomore Walker Allen has given the Colonels a lift with a three-point play after a Radford turnover and Altavista leads it 7-5 with 2:20 to go in the first quarter. The Bobcats are staying man-to-man so far defensively, but it'll be interesting to see if they throw a wrinkle at them with a zone or junk defense to try and break their momentum.
2:10 PM: Out of the gate, Radford appears to be a step quicker and maybe a smidge more athletic, playing with an edge. Nate Jones, the junior star getting Division I offers that's also the son of Radford University Coach Mike Jones, scores and that is followed shortly after that by an Isaiah Phillips slam. Those two have been the bread and butter all year long for Rick Cormany's Bobcats along with sophomore guard Marcus Finley, who makes 1-of-2 foul shots to increase the lead to 5-0 on Altavista.
Mike Cartolaro's Colonels respond with a basket inside from Darius Johnson at the 4:56 mark to cut into the deficit. Altavista's offense isn't getting some of the looks they are accustomed to and Radford is working the ball around the perimeter might well on the offensive end.
2:03 PM: Starting lineups are being introduced for the Altavista Colonels and Radford Bobcats in the 1A State Championship here at VCU and we are about to get underway.
A few thoughts, some of which we touched on more in-depth in the Preview (see at the bottom of this Blog for that link) . . . Radford has a tremendous perimeter with Nate Jones, Marcus Finley and Isaiah Phillips that can be hard to handle. Altavista's guards are solid as well with UVA football commit Juan Thornhill and Meche Maulbeck. The key for the Colonels will be getting consistent play out of their front-line with Demetrius Johnson and Darius Johnson. Radford wants to keep them out of the paint as best as possible.
These two teams won state titles a year ago; Radford beating Gate City and Altavista cruising against West Point in Group A D-1 and D-2. With the new setup though, only one of these two will prevail. They've been ranked #1 and #2 all year long, and if both play up to their potential, it has the makings to be a classic.
1:39 PM: The Chilhowie Lady Warriors have avenged a 10-point loss to Honaker in the 1A-West Region Championship and captured their first ever state title in the program's first ever trip in the Championship game. It was a thoroughly dominating performance by Mark Hasley's group, which suffered is only other loss early in the season to Lebanon 45-40.
Let's review the numbers from the 1A Girls State Championship before we near tip-off of the 1A Boys State Championship, pitting Radford against Altavista against two teams that won state titles a year ago.
Final Stats:
Lady Warriors 60: (26-2 Overall)
Lady Tigers 34: (24-7 Overall)
1:25 PM: It is in the books and the Chilhowie Lady Warriors are going to complete a 26-2 overall season and their first state title in Girls Basketball. In fact, it's the fist state title in any major sports at the school in the western part of Virginia since 1970 when football won it all in Group A.
This game has been all about half-court execution on offense and turning rushed shots by Honaker into easy points at the other end. Both Cotton and Sabo have done that in leading the charge.
We'll have some Final Stats coming shortly and then get ready for the titanic matchup in the 1A Boys State Championship between Radford and Altavista.
1:15 PM: What's hard to believe about this game is that Chilhowie is just running away from Honaker, a team that beat them 40-30 in the 1A-West Region Championship. In that game, Chilhowie 6-foot-4 sophomore Kenzie Sabo was much quieter than she is today.
End 3rdQ in 1A Girls State Championship - - Chilhowie 47, Honaker 24
Sabo and Danielle Cotton, a 5-foot-10 senior guard that came into today with 2133 career points, have 18 apiece. Cotton is headed to Concord University, a Division II program, to play her College Basketball. For Honaker, their major threat inside 6-foot-tall junior Laken Robinette, who had 22 rebounds and five blocks earlier this postseason in a State Semis victory over Colonial Beach. Robinette hasn't been nearly as dominant on the glass with five players registering four rebounds or more for Chilhowie.
1:05 PM: Since I just got here and missed the first half of this game, it'll be hard to give you hard-hitting analysis, which you can get on the TV if you're watching this game from the broadcast team of Andy Hayes and Coach Ed Young, but we'll provide you with updates to close out the second half of this Chilhowie/Honaker 1A State Championship in Girls Basketball.
1:00 PM: It's half-time in the Girls 1A State Championship and Chilhowie has broken open what was a close game midway through the first quarter with a strong second quarter, spearheaded by the distributing of Ckareekeea Branch with five assists.
1A Girls Championship at the Half - - Chilhowie 27, Honaker 12
It was a rough shooting first half for Honaker, which went 4-of-26 compared to 11-for-22 for Mark Halsey's Lady Warriors of Chilhowie. The offense got stagnant for quite a while for Honaker after getting really good movement without the basketball in the first quarter. Chilhowie's offense is really clicking on all cylinders thus far.
12:50 PM: Howdy all and welcome to our third and final day of LIVE Blog Coverage from the 2014 VHSL State Basketball Tournament at the Verizon Wireless Arena in the Stuart C. Siegel Center on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University. Yours truly has just pulled into Richmond after hosting my radio show on ESPN 94.1 in Virginia Beach, ready for what should be a memorable day of postseason play on the hardwood.

When I was at my local MAC store, I was looking for a reddish purple eye shadow that was on the darker side because that's one of the colors that really made my eyes pop (I used Stila Poise, but was disappointed with the longevity. It fades within an hour on my eyes, even with primer). I also was looking for a black shadow because most of what I owned were brights and lighter neutrals. Beauty marked automatically stuck out to me because of the intense black with reddish purple sparkles. I swatched it and loved the color, so along with some of the other shadows I purchased, this one came home with me. It's also the one I was most excited to use and it doesn't disappoint. Does it come out as a black? Not on me, it didn't. It was more of darker gray or soft black, rather than a pure black. That doesn't bother me because it made it more versatile to use. I've used it as an overall eye shadow, an eyeliner, and in the v and crease of the eye to create more depth to my eyelids. I find it's very easy to apply and unlike some other brands, the sparkles don't end up on your face after application. At first, I wasn't so wild about the color, but now that I've learned different techniques as to how to apply it, it's probably the eye shadow I use most frequently. You can layer it on top of your eyeliner, which intensifies the color and also makes the reddish purple sparkles brighten up your eyes, without look garish. I've also used it with other eye shadows and seen success. For example, I've used it with BeneFit Get figgy cream shadow (a brownish purple) and was told that my eye makeup was applied perfectly and made my eyes look amazing. I've also used it with other MAC eye shadows, such as Crystal, Satellite Dreams, and Fig 1 (all three of these either have purple undertones or are purple shadows in themselves) and it only enhanced my eyes, rather than detract from them. You can also control the intensity of the shadow, so you can be more muted or more dramatic, depending on what you're going for. Originally, I wanted to buy the MAC indian ink shadow, but since it's a pro shade, I was unable to purchase it. Beauty marked is a great substitute and if anything, it's probably a lot better than Indian Ink, because for the most part, I like my shadows to have shimmer, rather than be matte. I bought a single shadow without a case, so it was pretty reasonable in terms of price for a department store brand. Overall, it's a great shadow and I'm glad I bought it. I think this could flatter almost any eye color and a fun way to punch up your makeup, without going over the top. Definitely great for smoky eyes. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone, whose looking for a darker shadow with a bit of flair to it.

I'm so disappointed in this shadow. I just bought it the other day and it looked gorgeous in the pan and swatched. When I tried to apply it it became muddy and more black. It reminds me very much of how the colors in the UD Black Palette came out when applied. I'm going to attempt a return w/out receipt & box tomorrow :( :(.

my first mac purchase and it's a wonder i ended up being such a mac freak because this sucks. i only like this as a liner and that does not justify the price imo. it is hard to blend and the color is not as pretty as it is in the pan. i used to mix it with visine to get it to blend but it's too much hassle

I bought this hoping it would be a nice glittery brown crease color, sadly when swiped it comes off as black. A sad black that has horrible color pay off. I however do use this almost every day as liner, it is softer than a black and does stay on all day.
I would only buy this again to use as liner.
Makes great eyeliner
Stays on all day
Disappointing color pay off

Like others have said, it's a beautiful colour in the pan. I have tried to wear this different ways, and the best result is with blotting/dabbing it on rather than swiping. But it still doesn't give me the look I want. The way it looks in the pan is very misleading. I love MAC but I really wouldn't recommend this particular shadow to anyone.
I've owned my Beauty Marked for over a year and it looks like I've never touched it!

The thing with this eyeshadow is to pack it on the lid and not to swipe it. That way you are able to get the glitter as well and not just the black shadow. You have to use a red base with this if you want the purple/red/ payoff. I use Nyx jumbo pencil in cherry when I use this. I like it, but I understand it could be frustrating at first though...

I want to like this eyeshadow, I really do, but it's very disappointing. I ordered it online without having tested first, and I was so disappointed when I put it on. It looks very pretty in the pan, but not so much on my eyelids. It went on black- I could not even see any glitter at all. It didn't go on smoothly though, it was kind of blotchy. I tried it with a black base underneath and got the same result. I'm kind of mad I spent my money on this when I could have bought a better eyeshadow. MAC usually does no wrong for me, except with this color.

This eyeshadow looks great in the pan but is truly desapointing when swatched. The glitters are rough feeling and the pay off is reaaaally bad. Even if you put a dark base underneath, it'll, unfortunatly, never be as it looks in the pan.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Medium Brown, Warm

This black with burgundy/gold sparkle eyeshadow is deceptive in the pan as many have written. It looks like it might come out burgundy but really comes out black/red with slight burgundy shade which is barely noticeable. I wore it twice in 2 years because it is dirty looking and not a pure black.
I have been experimenting and realized it is useful. (1) Use a black base and swipe BM over it with a wet brush. The black brings out the sparkles and it's quite gorgeous. (2) Use a pink color on the inner third of the lid like Exp. Pink or even Jest, then a bright pink or purple in the middle, the BM on the outer third. It's quite beautiful. (3) BM also looks lover underneath Stars N' Rockets, which turns a gorgeous purple.
Layering BM over Groundwork didn't look so hot to me, but I don't care much for Groundwork anyway. I can't imagine who would need BM.
I just purchased MAC mineral shadow in Smoked Ruby and it has the red and black veining with the sheen. It is what I think most people would like BM to be.

would def neva buy this eyeshadow again! it cost so much and as so many people have already complained, looks nothing like how it appears in the pan. was so upset when i got home and swatched it on my hand. was hopin to see a beautiful duochrome black and burgundy. it's nothing like that at all and when i tried to add more product on top of the swatch, off came the shimmer that i was straining my eyes to see (ok thats an exaggeration) but the shimmer did wipe off and i shall certainly wont be repurchasing again :D

This is basically a hotel in the middle of a truck stop. Rooms almost acceptable but not great value, and not thoroughly clean. Best thing about the hotel was the restaurant which caters for truckers (ie good value, decent food and masses of it). Otherwise, only stop if absolutely necessary.
