Talk about Gillespie Field is in the air- KPBS recently published a story about the upcoming expansion of the county-run airport and the Santee City Council discussed the "Santee Aerotropolis" at the last meeting, a plan for Santee businesses to better cash in on the nearby airport.
Redevelopment plans for the 70-acre expansion into the site of the old El Cajon Speedway include construction of a new taxiway and businesses related to the aeronautics industry.
The KPBS article quotes a group of East County residents that don't want to see more flight training at the airport because of the noise the low-flying and often circling aircraft make. Director of airports for San Diego County, Peter Drinkwater, told KPBS the county can't deny new flight schools access to the expanded airport.
Santee's airport neighbor saw 184,500 flights last year, about 35,000 fewer than the 40 year average, according to Drinkwater.
The expansion is scheduled to break ground in 2014.
The Santee City Council discussed the concept of the "Santee Aerotropolis" at the January 9 meeting. The idea is to utilize the economic engine of the airport and help surrounding businesses take advantage of a major economic center of East County.
City staff said they are studying transportation linkage- the best strategy to link the airport with businesses around it, specifically those on the Santee side of the fence. This would include creating an entrance to the airport from the Santee side. They are in talks with county to create a safe corridor so planes can taxi in and out of first row of buildings.
According to city staff, there are about 150 acres in Santee, between Magnolia Avenue, Cuyamaca Street and SR-52, that could benefit from this project. They want to set the city up in advance to take advantage of airport and promote the key 150 acres.
City staff said that the East County Economic Development Council is working diligently to obtain grant money for this project.

Update 5:38 p.m.: Family of Sion Milosky and members of the Mavericks surfing community, including Half Moon Bay surfer Jeff Clark and Santa Cruz surfer Ken Collins, gathered this afternoon in Princeton to remember the big wave surfer one year after his death at the Mavericks surf break.
The memorial was moved from its original location at Mavericks Beach due to the strong rain and winds.
Members of the community are currently gathering at the bar in Princeton to further remember Milosky and share memories about his life.
Come back for photos of the paddle out and the story.
Local surfers will be holding a memorial at Mavericks this afternoon to commemorate Sion Milosky, a well-known big wave surfer who while surfing at the Half Moon Bay break one year ago on March 16, 2011.
The memorial will take place at 4 p.m. on Mavericks Beach, according to Jessica Banks, spokesperson for Mavericks veteran surfer Jeff Clark and the Mavericks Invitational 2011-2012 surf contest in Half Moon Bay.
Milosky, a big wave surfer who grew up in Kauai, Hawaii and was a resident of Oahu, at Mavericks in the early evening after being held down by two big waves during a set. According to reports, fellow surfer Nathan Fletcher searched for Milosky at the break on a jet ski, but Milosky's body was found instead floating at the mouth of Pillar Point Harbor about a mile away from the surf break 20 minutes after he had wiped out on the wave.
Despite being transported to the Seton Medical Center Coastside clinic in Moss Beach for emergency treatment, the surfer was pronounced dead at 7:46 p.m. the same evening at the clinic.
The day after his death, Milosky was by his family, friends and fellow surfers at Mavericks Beach.
Milosky was the second first person to die surfing Mavericks. Mark Foo, another surfer from Hawaii, died after a wipeout on the break in 1994.
This story was originally posted on Half Moon Bay Patch.

PLATTSBURGH — It's been a while since the Clinton Community College men's soccer team has had a player on the All-Region III team.
But sophomore forward Jordan Knight was named to the region's second team this week.
Knight, who scored six goals and assisted on four others as a freshman, tallied 20 goals and added five assists, playoffs included, while helping to lead the Cougars to a 13-6-1 overall record this past season.
"I definitely think he deserves it," said Clinton coach Zac Eppler. "It's kind of tough for a player from Clinton to make the all-region team going up against players from schools like Herkimer. Just making the team is a challenge and it says a lot about Jordan.
"He's a very smart player, who reads the opposing defense very well. But I can't say enough about his physical ability — he's one of the fastest players in the league. He was able to get a lot of goals by getting thru balls and using his speed."

He firmly believes that the geth have as much right to live as their quarian creators, and advocates settling other worlds instead or, if possible, coexisting with the geth. Despite his geth sympathizer leanings Koris still has the welfare of the quarian people in mind and has enough leadership skills and clout to mitigate widespread wartime panic.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Senate debate trumps 'Grimm' premiere
Fans of "Grimm" should set their DVRs or their alarm clocks for 2:30 a.m. Saturday if they want to record - or stay up for - the second season premiere of NBC's "Grimm."
The return of the fairy tale cop drama is being preempted on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) for the debate between U.S. Senate candidates Tammy Baldwin and Tommy Thompson.
WTMJ-TV will air the debate at 8 p.m. and a post-debate election special at 9 p.m.
Earlier this week, WISN-TV (Channel 12) also preempted the season premiere of "Dancing With the Stars" for the now-infamous sporting event involving a local team, and similarly delayed "DWTS" in the wee hours. It also rescheduled the premiere of "Castle" for 1 p.m. Saturday.
And WITI-TV (Channel 6) recently delayed the season premiere of "Glee" to air a Green Bay Packers game being broadcast by the NFL Network.

"Right now we're fighting through a lot of things and this trip has been good for me because it's really given me a clear indication on a lot of levels.

The future of a popular state tax that has helped communities across the state save historic homes and revitalize downtowns could be decided this week.
As House and Senate lawmakers negotiate their differing state budgets one of the line items theyll be looking at is the Historic Rehabilitation Investment Program, which provides a 20 percent to 30 percent tax credit to those who restore historic homes and buildings. The credit is set to expire at the end of this year. House lawmakers want to extend the credit, but their counterparts in the Senate do not.
Greg Hatem, whose Empire Properties has used the credit to restore several properties in downtown Raleigh, said it was the catalyst for much of the other development downtown.
It starts when you renovate a historic building, said Hatem, whose numerous holdings all in restored buildings include the restaurants The Raleigh Times and The Pit. What follows is you have office spaces and restaurants, and this creates active uses that bring a downtown back to life.
In cities and small towns across the state, historic rehabilitation also plays a role in cultural preservation by providing context and identity for people from North Carolina, Hatem said.
Organizations like Preservation North Carolina have called for an extension of the program. Robert Parrott, Preservation NCs interim regional director, said the North Carolina economy benefits from the program.
You can see that these projects have a tremendous effect because when you put tenants in the commercial buildings, that helps spur the economy of the area, Parrott said. When you put homes in buildings that were previously vacant, it encourages homeowners to pay taxes and spend money in the area.
He said without the tax credit, property buyers would be discouraged from rehabilitating historic buildings in the first place.
In 2009, Justin Boner and his wife, Kierna McGorty, purchased a house built in the 1860s from Preservation North Carolina. Before they began renovating, the house was deemed uninhabitable by the city of Raleigh. But its location in the Oakwood area made it an appealing prospect.
So far, the credit has reduced their taxes by $45,000 30 percent of their total expenditures.
If the House and Senate agree to extend the credit, Boner and McGorty plan to continue their renovation over the next five years.
Having an expiration date has hastened construction for us, Boner said. It was originally a 10-year period.
If the credit isnt extended, theyll wrap up by Dec. 31, the eve of the credits expiration.
Economic benefits
Smaller towns across the state have taken advantage of the program as well.
Siler City officials transformed Siler City High School, which was built in 1922, into Braxton Manor Apartments 15 years ago with the help of the tax credit.
Jack Meadows, the director of planning and community development in Siler City, said the old building needed to be modernized with heating and air conditioning as well as new electrical systems and plumbing. Meadows said the tax credit made the deal work.
Supporters of the program point to its economic benefits. The North Carolina Department of Commerce estimates that the credits cost the state an average of $14.2 million a year but that they bring in $124.5 million in annual investments.
Overall, the tax credit has generated $1.7 billion in private investments for the state since 1976, when it was first granted to businesses and developers. The credit was extended to homeowners in 1998.
House, McCrory changes
Gov. Pat McCrory, who backs the program, extended it in his budget proposal but with modifications. The House budget originally did not extend the credit but it was added as an amendment, mirroring the governors plan. His proposal reduces the overall cost of the program from $20.7 million to $13.2 million by reducing the credit home owners and business could receive.
Rep. Dean Arp, a Republican from Monroe, sponsored the effort to include the tax credit in the House budget. He said McCrorys proposed reductions are effective.
The program is very worthy in terms of economic development, and it provides an increased tax base for revenue, Arp said. This is a case where we can take public dollars and leverage private investment.
But Sen. Bob Rucho, who co-chairs the finance committee, said eliminating incentives was part of a larger plan to lower tax rates throughout the state. Instead of picking winners and losers when it comes to incentives, he said, everyone would be able to enjoy lower income taxes.

|electrovalent bond
|Compare covalent bond Also called: ionic bond a type of chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains the electron to form a negative ion. The resulting ions are held together by electrostatic attraction
|ionic bond (ī-ŏn'ĭk) Pronunciation Key
A chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges. Ionic bonds form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. These bonds can form between a pair of atoms or between molecules and are the type of bond found in salts.
A chemical bond in which one atom gives up an electron to another, thereby generating an electrical force that holds the atoms together.
Note: Many crystals are held together by ionic bonds.

The men were hospitalized in serious condition.

The Dallas Mavericks are in the playoffs. Thanks to Dirk's big shot against Utah, and a Golden State loss, this is a playoff team. Looks like they've figured out how to finish games. They did it in Phoenix, and now against a good Utah team. Has this team turned the corner? Or are they still doomed for 1st round failure?

When did comfort and style become mutually exclusive? I like to believe in the idea that I can be sassy and stylish without wobbling under the pressure of shoes that are too tight, too high or too pointed…Am I crazy to believe that? As I continue to attend more events I grow tired of rolling my eyes at a fly pair of shoes because I know within the first hour my feet are going to be in utter agony.
But with a new year comes new epiphanies and I have decided to become more comfort conscious when determining my "flyest" shoe game. However, much of what creates a supportive shoe might not always produce an attractive shoe. But thank the heavens we are no longer limited to boots or sneakers, many designers are now incorporating comfortable shoes in their looks.
And let's be real, consistent and constant wearing of high heels on a daily basis takes a severe toll on your feet, knees, hips, and back over time, which makes it especially critical for women to be able to find stylish, comfortable shoes. So I wanted to give a couple of pointers to the everyday woman that just wants to look nice and stroll with comfort, care and confidence. Constant and consistent wearers of high heels should be especially aware here are some key points for good, quality shoes :
• Provide support and absorb shock as we walk to pad our weight against the hard ground
• Keep arches from collapsing, preserving our posture and body alignment
• Consist of a 1 – 2 inch height, a supportive arch, built up sides and padding at the ball joints at the front of the foot
• Kitten heels, ballet flats, or flip flops aren't good for you if they don't offer support or a well-built structure
• High-heels aren't meant to be worn for long periods of time. The structure places all of your body weight on the front of the foot rather than distributing it evenly throughout the entire sole
• Consider custom orthotics or inserts for troubled areas.
And don't underestimate the impact of a shoe pad. If you've found a pair of shoes that you love but are worried about how comfortable they will be, remember that there are a number of foot and toe cushions you can use to protect your feet, ie ball-of-foot cushions and gel toe protectors are very helpful to women who wear heels all day. Toe separators are great if you suffer from foot pain and aches; they stretch out your foot and toe muscles for a few minutes each day.
And what kind of stylist would I be if I didn't offer a few of some of my favorite brands that offer style and comfort at various price points:
• Cole Haan
Very solid reputation for making high-quality, comfortable dress shoes for both men and women. Their women's shoes range from elegant pumps and sporty slip-ons to stylish leather flats with Nike Air cushioning.
• Anne Klein
I will be the first to admit that I was surprised at how comfortable Anne Klein dress shoes can be, especially the "iFlex" series, which is created with thinner, softer leather and extra padding. The shoes are literally more flexible than the stiff leather you normally find in dress shoes, so they don't rub your feet and leave blisters after a day of wear.
• Tory Burch
These are stylish, comfortable flats with padded insoles that look good with jeans or dresses.
• Clarks
Clarks has been a long-time favorite American brand for comfortable women's shoes. You will probably encounter Clarks at any shoe store, department store, or mall you visit.
• AerosolesThey are very well-known for reasonably attractive and comfortable dress shoes, with ll, the company offers enough selection that you will occasionally come across some great finds, and the prices are almost always reasonable.
• Naturalizer
Naturalizer has a loyal following because their designs are generally more stylish than other comfortable dress shoe brands.
• Kenneth Cole
Cool, sophisticated and comfortable. Their name speaks for itself. Kenneth Cole has the ability to constantly reinvent their look and stay fashionable.
• Stuart Weitzman
One of the best designer brands for comfortable dress shoes is Stuart Weitzman . The collection includes bold, fashionable heels, flats, loafers, and mules that most designer brands cannot match in comfort.
Lesson to be learned: The shoes on your feet speak volumes about your style and personality; so make sure you are wearing the right size, shape, stability and style to maximize your comfort! I promise, your feet will thank you for it…Smooches!

Bayer Business Services Migrates Mission-Critical SAP Landscape from AIX to Red Hat
September 5, 2013
Bayer Business Services, the Bayer Group's global competence center for IT and business services, was looking for a way to reduce costs while maintaining the quality of its mission-critical SAP infrastructure.
Customer: Bayer Business Services
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers the stability, flexibility, and performance necessary to power the next generation of computing applications..." Sven Meissner, Linux operation manager at Bayer Business Services in Leverkusen
Bayer Business Services, the Bayer Group's global competence center for IT and business services, was looking for a way to reduce costs while maintaining the quality of its mission-critical SAP infrastructure.
Bayer chose to migrate from AIX, a proprietary UNIX operating system, to Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SAP
50 HP rack servers of various levels of performance
Bayer chose to migrate from AIX, a proprietary UNIX operating system, to Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® and substituted IBM servers running on proprietary software with standards-based x86-servers. With this dual solution approach, Bayer Business Services improved performance at a much lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Bayer Business Services is the global competence center for IT and business services of the Bayer Group. Some 4,900 employees throughout the world support the Bayer Group's business processes in the most efficient way. Bayer Business Services offers Bayer companies competitive and innovative services wherever and whenever they need them and is active in four core areas: IT infrastructure and applications, procurement and trade services, personnel and management services, and finance and accounting.
High TCO of proprietary solutions
Until a few years ago, paying more of a premium for proprietary hardware and software licenses seemed necessary to achieve a superior level of performance. And during the recent 2005-'08 economic upswing, many IT departments enjoyed access to extensive resources. All that changed rather abruptly in 2009 because the financial crisis caused IT expenditure to come under serious scrutiny. IT departments and IT service providers were forced to look closely at their bottom line and comb their data centers for potential ways to save money.
Bayer Business Services underwent a similar journey. Although the concept of creating efficiencies and saving money via consolidation and virtualization have existed for a few years, the company was forced to realign existing infrastructure. Their existing infrastructure solution had been in use since the previous decade, and mission-critical SAP applications were running on proprietary servers with the UNIX operating system, AIX.
Exit strategy for legacy systems
Bayer Business Services is the Bayer Group's global competence center for IT and business services. Not only did it need to reduce costs, Bayer Business Services also wanted to continue delivering innovative solutions to Bayer's subsidiaries. So, after more than a decade using SAP applications on a proprietary operating system (AIX running on IBM servers), it decided to implement a future-proof solution with x86-servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
"There are two central requirements of the migration project," explained Sven Meissner, Linux operation manager at Bayer Business Services in Leverkusen. "The first is maintaining the quality of the infrastructure and solutions, and - whenever possible - increasing reliability, availability and performance. The second is cost reduction. These goals are achieved by replacing IBM AIX UNIX servers with x86-servers and by migrating all SAP systems from AIX to Red Hat Enterprise Linux."
"When the UNIX system from IBM reached the end of its life cycle, the opportunity presented itself to turn away from proprietary technologies altogether," explains Meissner. "The main consideration here is cost reduction, which affects two major categories of activity: procurement costs and recurring maintenance expenditures. x86-servers running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux offered significant cost savings."
Bayer Business Services had been using open source solutions on about 300 servers to support e-business applications, so it was able to draw on in-house experience when it opted for Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the server operating system. "The operating system proved to be incredibly stable and reliable for years on end, and Red Hat has always been a very reliable, professional, and cooperative partner," explained Meissner.
Higher performance. Lower TCO.
The migration began in October 2009, and the team migrated less critical systems first. Once this initial phase was completed, the series of SAP systems requiring six-core or ten-core processors was introduced to achieve the same SAP Application Performance Standard (SAPS) performance as the previous AIX servers. SAPS is an indicator used to describe performance. It is derived from the SD Benchmark (Sales and Distribution), which executes a series of processing steps in the SD module of the SAP system. A value of 100 SAPS is defined as 2,000 fully processed order line items per hour in a given configuration.
One of the higher performing systems is an HP-DL580-G7 server. This rack system is equipped with four CPUs (each with ten processor cores), 1 TB RAM, and running on VMware vSphere 5 as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux. With all this power, the system can achieve about 42,000 SAPS. This indicator is of central importance in calculating the available functions, as the business units of the Bayer Group continue to purchase SAPS as the unit of measurement for the required computing power.
"The solution as a whole is what we're looking at, but the operating system is a very important factor in its overall success. Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers the stability, flexibility, and performance necessary to power the next generation of computing applications," said Meissner.

Are Theme Parks, Beaches and Medicine the Future of Florida's Tourism Industry?
March 27th, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando - A bill in the state Senate could bring in a new group of tourists to Florida--but they won't be coming just for the theme parks.
In the past two weeks, Senators from two committees have unanimously approved a bill that would allocate $5 million a year to bring more people to Florida for medical tourism.
The money would go to promote Florida's hospitality and medical care industries to domestic and foreign visitors.
Renee Stephano of the Medical Tourism Association says packaging services will allow people to know exactly how much they're spending on medical care before they visit.
"The price transparency and packaging of services is an important piece in the success of the program," says Stephano.
The bill has one Senate committee left.

Election night at the Biltmore in Arizona is a hilariously dismal scene, like a funeral for a family member nobody liked, who died owing everyone money. The rats here are already bailing off the ship with lightning speed, like L.A. Dodgers fans leaving a playoff game to catch the latest episode of Entourage. The exodus, in fact, begins about eight seconds into John McCain's concession speech, which incidentally starts off on the classiest of notes: with the remaining crowd cursing the name of the new president.
"A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Sen. Barack Obama," McCain begins.
"Boooooo!" bellows the crowd. Outside the hotel, a wine-drunk young woman in a fluffy white ball gown probably last worn at a Liberty University frat mixer angrily flings a would-be celebratory pompom she has been clutching into my face. "I can't listen to this shit!" she yells, scooting away.
I peel the plastic pompom bits off my face and stick them in my bag, where they are soon joined by a McCain-Palin "Victory 2008" Election Night T-shirt — bought for gloating purposes at a rapidly plummeting discount. Republican-souvenir prices haven't been this low since Watergate.
By the time McCain finishes his short, commendably gracious speech a few minutes later, almost all the Republican revelers have begun to flee the premises. The few who stick around are trying to suck the last value out of the meals and cocktails they so willingly overpaid for earlier in the night, when there was still a chance they'd end up with something to celebrate. At the hotel exit, a pair of Arizona State students are grumbling about the food.
"We paid, like, 10 bucks for a burger," says 18-year-old Emily Zizzo.
"We were outraged," agrees her 20-year-old friend Dori Jaffess.
I ask them why they think McCain lost. Dori says a big reason is that "a lot of big movie stars came out for Obama." I ask her which ones.
"Um, Puff Daddy?" she says. "Although I don't know if Puff Daddy came out for Obama."
"There's Oprah," adds Emily.
"Yeah, Oprah," says Dori.
A few yards away, a pair of thirtysomething women in an advanced wine slog have gotten into a screaming match with a Hispanic cameraman. One of them, 33-year-old Kristen McEntire, is already spinning out a conspiracy theory to explain McCain's defeat, suggesting that the media called the election in some key states before the polls closed, tricking hordes of would-be McCain voters into staying home. Obama, she assures me, is a "novelty" who will "go away within the next couple of years."
"Um," I say. "Go away?"
"I just don't think America's ready for a black president," she explains. "And I don't mean that in a racial way whatsoever."

County Executive Kevin Kamenetz's comments Tuesday about a fight outside the Recher Theatre this week drew attention not only because of his criticism of the owners of the bar but because it was the first time anyone could remember the county's top elected official taking a public stand on a liquor license issue.
And many Patch readers and others were interested in why this issue at this time and what was behind the fairly pointed comments.
Kamenetz's statements mark the first time in recent memory and certainly the first by Kamenetz despite recent, more severe incidents including the stabbing death of a bouncer earlier this month outside Tee Bee's Place in Parkville.
Ellen Kobler, a county spokeswoman whose tenure dates back to County Executive Dutch Ruppersberger, said she could not remember another county executive speaking out on a liquor license issue. She also could not remember a reporter ever asking any of the previous county executives she worked for, either.
Kamenetz said Thursday that he's never commented on similar issues because he's never been asked.
"That's not true," Kamenetz said when I asked about this being the first time he's taken a public position on an incident at a bar. "If anyone were to ask me, you would know my position on any of these issues. The liquor board knows very clearly my position."
Kamenetz said he answered questions Tuesday about the incident at the Recher Theatre because he was asked by reporters during a news event about emergency preparedness.
There were, however, other reasons to speak out, according to the county executive.
"The Rechers are decent owners," Kamenetz said of Brian and Scott Recher. "But quite, there was a lot of raw speculation on racial and other motivations."
During the news conference Tuesday, Kamenetz told reporters he blamed Brian and Scott Recher, owners of the bar, for the fight that resulted, rather than blaming the promoter.
Kamenetz added he was also concerned that the spread of rumors and talk would damage Towson's reputation at the same time developers are building the Towson Square project.
"Towson is not unsafe or unruly," Kamenetz said, adding that rumors and talk to the contrary could damage efforts to revitalize the downtown Towson area along York Road.
Kamenetz declined to say if he believed the bar owners should be brought before the county Liquor Board Commission. Instead, he said he'd wait for the final police report and recommendations.
"This is not about punishing the Rechers or taking the liquor license but it is about sending a message to all license holders to think before you act," Kamenetz said. "Think about the unintended consequences before you act."

HARRISONBURG -- Students at Harrisonburg High School will get the opportunity to explore their creativity with a fine arts academy launching this fall.
The academy would focus on six different areas of the arts, including: dance, drama and visual arts. The emphasis on the program is collaboration.
The academy's director wants students to be well-rounded.
"We believe that students will have the opportunity to really explore their creative, improvisational thought process and focus on things from the lens of the artist, allow their passion for the arts and their intensity for the arts help them be the best learners and the best artists that they can be," said J.R. Snow, the coordinator of fine arts at the high school.
Students must apply for the program. It will be open to 9th and 10th grade students.
The academy is funded by Harrisonburg City Schools. The academy director plans to hire someone to fill a full-time position to help launch the program.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — Every year since his father, Roland, passed away from cystic fibrosis, 26-year-old Beverly resident Jonathan Currier has held a charity event in his honor.
This year, he came up with a unique idea to raise money by having a 24-hour basketball game at the Beverly YMCA Teen Center. The event begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, and is set to conclude at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4.
If they can play the entire time, it would set a new mark in the Guiness Book of World Records.
Currier is a basketball instructor in North Shore and Merrimack Valley and has done work with Celtics star Paul Pierce.
"A while ago, there was a world-record flag football game held on the North Shore, and that gave me the idea," said Currier, a professional basketball trainer who recently opened Jonathan Currier's X Factor Basketball Training.
"This is our third annual event; so far, we've raised over $4,000 for cystic fibrosis research. This year, I wanted to give part of the money for YMCA summer camp scholarships, since I've been going to the Y since I was 6 years old and I still work there doing some reffing. Basketball has always been a big passion in my life, and this is a nice way to honor my father."
Currier said there will be 24 players who take part in the game: 12 on each team, with five players from both sides on the court at all times. Some are hoopsters he trains, along with a few friends and fellow teachers. The event is open to all ages. The former Suffolk University varsity basketball player and his cousin, Brian Brown, have already lined up around 20 sponsors, including Sports Authority and radio station 98.5 The Sports Hub.
"I contacted Guinness Book a while back to see what we needed to set the record," Currier said.
"There are a lot of rules to follow, and you have to have a ref on the court at all times. We're ready to go for the record and support two great causes at the same time.
"My Dad passed away in 2010 at age 54, and he's one of the oldest with the disease to live so long. The average age is now 37, but he fought through it. We were lucky to have him for that many years."
Currier said St. John's Prep basketball coach and former Bishop Fenwick/Providence College/Ohio State great Sean Connolly will be the honorary tipoff guest on Saturday morning. There will be face-painting, food, music, games, prizes, a 50-50 raffle and other raffles throughout the 24-hour period.
The hope is that the game can raise $5,000 for cystic fibrosis research and another $1,000 for YMCA scholarships.
Those interested in playing, helping out or donating to the cause can contact Currier at 978-578-7787 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Posted Sunday, May 27, 2012 --- 4:17 p.m.
PESHTIGO, Wis. (AP) -- A new highway bridge in Peshtigo carries the name of a young soldier from the area killed in Afghanistan in 2009.
Private First Class Steven Drees of Peshtigo had only been inAfghanistan for a few weeks when he was injured in a June 2009 attack. The 19-year-old died a few days later.
WLUK-TV in Green Bay reports Sunday that community members petitioned local lawmakers to name the new bridge across Highway 41 in honor of Drees. His parents were on hand Saturday for a dedication. They've started a foundation in his name that has sent more than 7,000 care packages to soldiers overseas.
Other Wisconsin bridges have been named in honor of U.S. soldiers killed serving abroad.
